Matthew 4
1 Then Jesus was carried up into the wilderness by the Spirit to be tempted of the devil:
Yei akyi no, Honhom Kronkron faa Yesu kɔɔ ɛserɛ so sɛ ɔbonsam nkɔsɔ no nhwɛ.
2 and having fasted forty days and forty nights, afterwards he hungered.
Saa ɛberɛ no mu, Yesu dii mmuada adaduanan awia ne anadwo. Yei maa ɛkɔm dee no.
3 And the tempter coming up to him said, If thou be Son of God, speak, that these stones may become loaves of bread.
Ɔbonsam baa Yesu nkyɛn bɛka kyerɛɛ no sɛ, “Sɛ wone Onyankopɔn Ba no a, ka na saa aboɔ yi nnane aduane.”
4 But he answering said, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word which goes out through God's mouth.
Yesu buaa no sɛ, “Wɔatwerɛ sɛ, ‘Ɛnyɛ aduane nko ara na ɛho hia onipa wɔ nʼasetena mu, na mmom, deɛ ɛhia titire ne Onyankopɔn asɛm.’”
5 Then the devil takes him to the holy city, and sets him upon the edge of the temple,
Afei, ɔbonsam de Yesu kɔɔ Yerusalem de no kɔgyinaa asɔredan a ɛwɔ hɔ no atifi pɛɛ,
6 and says to him, If thou be Son of God cast thyself down; for it is written, He shall give charge to his angels concerning thee, and on [their] hands shall they bear thee, lest in anywise thou strike thy foot against a stone.
na ɔka kyerɛɛ no sɛ, “Sɛ wone Onyankopɔn Ba no ampa ara a, huri firi deɛ wogyina hɔ si fam, ɛfiri sɛ, wɔatwerɛ sɛ, “‘Onyankopɔn bɛsoma nʼabɔfoɔ abɛsɔ wo, na woammɛhwe abotan so.’”
7 Jesus said to him, It is again written, Thou shalt not tempt [the] Lord thy God.
Yesu buaa bio sɛ, “Wɔatwerɛ sɛ, ‘Nsɔ Awurade wo Onyankopɔn nhwɛ.’”
8 Again the devil takes him to a very high mountain, and shews him all the kingdoms of the world, and their glory,
Yei akyi no, ɔbonsam de Yesu kɔɔ bepɔ tenten bi apampam. Ɔde nʼani kari kyerɛɛ no ewiase ahennie ahodoɔ ne emu animuonyam nyinaa.
9 and says to him, All these things will I give thee if, falling down, thou wilt do me homage.
Afei, ɔka kyerɛɛ Yesu sɛ, “Sɛ wobɛkoto asom me a, mede deɛ wohunu yi nyinaa bɛma wo.”
10 Then says Jesus to him, Get thee away, Satan, for it is written, Thou shalt do homage to [the] Lord thy God, and him alone shalt thou serve.
Ɛhɔ ara na Yesu buaa sɛ, “Firi me so, Ɔbonsam! Hunu sɛ, wɔatwerɛ sɛ ‘Koto som Awurade, wo Onyankopɔn, na ɔno nko ara na som no.’”
11 Then the devil leaves him, and behold, angels came and ministered to him.
Yesu ano siiɛ no, ɔbonsam gyaa no hɔ kɔeɛ. Ɛno akyi, abɔfoɔ baa Yesu nkyɛn bɛsom no.
12 But having heard that John was delivered up, he departed into Galilee:
Yesu tee sɛ wɔakyere Yohane no, ɔkɔɔ Galilea.
13 and having left Nazareth, he went and dwelt at Capernaum, which is on the sea-side in the borders of Zabulon and Nepthalim,
Ɔduruu Galilea no, wantena Nasaret, na mmom, ɔtwaam Nasaret hɔ kɔtenaa Kapernaum a ɛwɔ Galilea mpoano no, Sebulon ne Naftali ahyeɛ so.
14 that that might be fulfilled which was spoken through Esaias the prophet, saying,
Yei maa deɛ Odiyifoɔ Yesaia kaeɛ sɛ,
15 Land of Zabulon and land of Nepthalim, way of [the] sea beyond the Jordan, Galilee of the nations:
“Sebulon asase ne Naftali asase, ɛpo ɛkwan so, Yordan agya, Galilea a amanamanfoɔ te hɔ,
16 — the people sitting in darkness has seen a great light, and to those sitting in [the] country and shadow of death, to them has light sprung up.
nnipa a wɔte sum mu no, Hann kɛseɛ bi apue ama wɔn. Hann no apue ama wɔn a wɔte owuo asase so.”
17 From that time began Jesus to preach and to say, Repent, for the kingdom of the heavens has drawn nigh.
Ɛfiri saa ɛberɛ no, Yesu firii nʼasɛnka ase sɛ, “Monnu mo ho, momfa mo ho mma Onyankopɔn na ɔsoro ahennie no abɛn.”
18 And walking by the sea of Galilee, he saw two brothers, Simon called Peter, and Andrew his brother, casting a net into the sea, for they were fishers;
Ɛda bi a Yesu nam Galilea mpoano no, ɔhunuu anuanom baanu bi a wɔn nyinaa yɛ afarefoɔ sɛ wɔregu asau ɛpo no mu. Saa anuanom yi mu baako din de Simon a ne din foforɔ nso de Petro. Ɔbaako no nso din de Andrea.
19 and he says to them, Come after me, and I will make you fishers of men.
Yesu ka kyerɛɛ wɔn sɛ, “Mommɛdi mʼakyi na mɛkyerɛ mo ɛkwan a wɔfa so yi nnipa kra.”
20 And they, having left their trawl-nets, immediately followed him.
Ɛhɔ ara, wɔgyaa wɔn asau no guu hɔ bɛdii nʼakyi ne no kɔeɛ.
21 And going on thence he saw other two brothers, James the [son] of Zebedee and John his brother, in the ship with Zebedee their father, mending their trawl-nets, and he called them;
Ɔkɔɔ nʼanim kakra no, ɔhunuu Sebedeo mma baanu a wɔfrɛ ɔbaako Yohane ɛnna ɔbaako nso din de Yakobo, sɛ wɔne wɔn agya te kodoɔ mu retuatua wɔn asau mu. Yesu frɛɛ wɔn nso sɛ wɔmmɛdi nʼakyi.
22 and they, having left the ship and their father, immediately followed him.
Ntɛm ara, wɔgyaa wɔn agya ne kodoɔ no hɔ bɛdii nʼakyi.
23 And [Jesus] went round the whole [of] Galilee, teaching in their synagogues, and preaching the glad tidings of the kingdom, and healing every disease and every bodily weakness among the people.
Yesu kyinkyinii Galileaman mu nyinaa kaa ahennie no ho asɛmpa wɔ Yudafoɔ hyiadan mu. Ɔsaa nyarewa ahodoɔ a wɔde baa nʼanim nyinaa nso.
24 And his fame went out into the whole [of] Syria, and they brought to him all that were ill, suffering under various diseases and pains, and those possessed by demons, and lunatics, and paralytics; and he healed them.
Yesu anwanwadeɛ a ɔyɛeɛ yi trɛ kɔduruu Siriaman mu nyinaa. Yei maa wɔde wɔn a ahonhommɔne wɔ wɔn so, wɔn a wɔtwa, wɔn a wɔyare mmubuiɛ ne wɔn a nyarewa ahodoɔ ha wɔn no nyinaa firi Siriaman mu brɛɛ no ma ɔsaa wɔn nyinaa yadeɛ.
25 And great crowds followed him from Galilee, and Decapolis, and Jerusalem, and Judaea, and beyond the Jordan.
Anwanwadeɛ a Yesu yɛeɛ yi maa nnipakuo a wɔfiri Galilea ne Nkuro Edu “Dekapoli” no mu ne Yerusalem ne Yordan agya tu dii nʼakyi.
