Matthew 4
1 Then Jesus was led by the Spirit into the desert to be tempted by the devil.
Eyi akyi no, Honhom Kronkron faa Yesu kɔɔ sare so sɛ ɔbonsam nkɔsɔ no nhwɛ.
2 After fasting forty days and nights, he was hungry.
Saa bere no mu, Yesu dii mmuada adaduanan; awia ne anadwo. Eyi maa ɔkɔm dee no.
3 The tempter came and said to him, “If you really are the Son of God, order these stones to turn into bread.”
Ɔbonsam baa Yesu nkyɛn bɛka kyerɛɛ no se, “Sɛ wone Onyankopɔn Ba no a, ka na saa abo yi nnan aduan.”
4 Jesus answered, “As Scripture says, ‘Human beings do not live by only eating bread, but by every word that comes from the mouth of God.’”
Yesu buaa no se, “Wɔakyerɛw se, ‘Ɛnyɛ aduan nko ara na ɛho hia onipa wɔ nʼasetena mu, na mmom asɛm biara a efi Awurade anom.’”
5 Then the devil took him to the holy city and placed him on the top of the Temple.
Afei ɔbonsam de Yesu kɔɔ Yerusalem de no kogyinaa asɔredan a ɛwɔ hɔ no atifi pɛɛ,
6 “If you really are the son of God, then throw yourself off,” he told Jesus. “As Scripture says, ‘He will order his angels to save you from harm. They will catch you so that you won't fall by tripping over a stone.’”
na ɔka kyerɛɛ no se, “Sɛ wone Onyankopɔn Ba no ampa ara a, huruw fi nea wugyina hɔ si fam, efisɛ, wɔakyerɛw se, “‘Onyankopɔn bɛsoma nʼabɔfo abeso wo mu, wɔde wɔn nsa bɛma wo so, na wo nan ampem ɔbo.’”
7 Jesus answered, “As Scripture also says, ‘You shall not tempt the Lord your God.’”
Yesu buaa bio se, “Wɔakyerɛw se, ‘Nsɔ Awurade wo Nyankopɔn nhwɛ.’”
8 Then the devil took Jesus to a very high mountain and showed him all the kingdoms of the world in all their glory.
Eyi akyi no, ɔbonsam de Yesu kɔɔ bepɔw tenten bi apampam. Ɔde nʼani kari kyerɛɛ no wiase ahenni ahorow ne mu anuonyam nyinaa.
9 He said to Jesus, “I will give you all these if you fall down on your knees and worship me.”
Afei ɔka kyerɛɛ Yesu se, “Sɛ wobɛkotow asom me a, mede nea wuhu yi nyinaa bɛma wo.”
10 “Go away, Satan!” said Jesus. “As Scripture says, ‘You shall worship the Lord your God and serve him, and him alone.’”
Ɛhɔ ara na Yesu buae se, “Fi me so, Satan! Hu sɛ wɔakyerɛw se, ‘Kotow som Awurade, wo Nyankopɔn, na ɔno nko ara na som no.’”
11 Then the devil left him, and angels came to care for him.
Yesu ano sii no, ɔbonsam gyaw no hɔ kɔe. Ɛno akyi no abɔfo baa Yesu nkyɛn bɛsom no.
12 When Jesus heard that John had been arrested, he returned to Galilee.
Yesu tee sɛ wɔakyere Yohane no, ɔkɔɔ Galilea.
13 Leaving Nazareth, he came to stay in Capernaum, on the shores of the sea in the regions of Zebulun and Naphthali.
Oduu Galilea no, wantena Nasaret, na mmom otwaa mu wɔ Nasaret hɔ kɔtenaa Kapernaum a ɛwɔ Galilea mpoano no, Sebulon ne Naftali ahye so.
14 This fulfilled what Isaiah the prophet said,
Eyi maa nea Odiyifo Yesaia kae no baa mu sɛ,
15 “In the land of Zebulun and the land of Naphthali, on the road to the sea, across the Jordan River, in Galilee where the foreigners live:
“Sebulon asase ne Naftali asase, ɛpo kwan so, Yordan agya, Galilea a amanamanmufo te hɔ,
16 The people living in darkness saw a great light; the light of dawn has shined on those living in the land of the shadow of death.”
nnipa a wɔte sum mu no, Hann kɛse bi apue ama wɔn. Hann no apue ama wɔn a wɔte owu asase so.”
17 From that time on Jesus began declaring his message, saying, “Repent, for the kingdom of heaven has arrived!”
Efi saa bere no, Yesu fii nʼasɛnka ase se, “Monsakra mo adwene, momfa mo ho mma Onyankopɔn na ɔsoro ahenni no abɛn.”
18 As he was walking by the sea of Galilee Jesus saw two brothers. Simon, also called Peter, and his brother Andrew, were casting a net in the sea. They made their living by catching fish.
Da bi a Yesu nam Galilea mpoano no, ohuu anuanom baanu bi a wɔn nyinaa yɛ apopofo sɛ wɔregu asau wɔ po no mu. Saa anuanom yi mu baako din de Simon a ne din foforo nso de Petro. Ɔbaako no nso din de Andrea.
19 “Come and follow me, and I will teach you how to catch people,” he told them.
Yesu ka kyerɛɛ wɔn se, “Mummedi mʼakyi na mɛsoma mo ama moakoyi nnipa kra.”
20 They left their nets immediately and followed him.
Ɛhɔ ara wogyaw wɔn asau no guu hɔ kodii nʼakyi ne no kɔe.
21 Continuing on he saw two other brothers, James and John. They were in a boat with their father Zebedee, mending their nets. He called them to follow him.
Ɔkɔɔ nʼanim kakra no, ohuu Sebedeo mma baanu a wɔfrɛ ɔbaako Yohane na ɔbaako nso din de Yakobo sɛ wɔne wɔn agya te ɔkorow mu repempam wɔn asau mu. Yesu frɛɛ wɔn nso se wommedi nʼakyi.
22 They left the boat and their father immediately, and followed him.
Ntɛm ara, wogyaw wɔn agya ne ɔkorow no hɔ kodii nʼakyi.
23 Jesus traveled throughout Galilee, teaching in the synagogues, telling the good news of the kingdom, and healing all the diseases and illnesses the people had.
Yesu kyinkyinii Galileaman mu nyinaa kaa ahenni no ho asɛmpa wɔ Yudafo hyiadan mu. Ɔsaa nyarewa ahorow a wɔde baa nʼanim nyinaa nso.
24 News about him spread throughout the province of Syria. They brought everyone who was sick to him: people troubled by seizures, the demon-possessed, those who were mentally ill, people who were paralyzed, and he healed all of them.
Yesu anwonwade a ɔyɛe yi trɛw koduu Siriaman mu nyinaa. Eyi ma wɔde wɔn a ahonhommɔne wɔ wɔn so, wɔn a wotwa, wɔn a wɔyare mmubui ne wɔn a nyarewa ahorow haw wɔn no nyinaa fi Siriaman mu brɛɛ no ma ɔsaa wɔn nyinaa yare.
25 Large crowds followed him from Galilee, Decapolis, Jerusalem, Judea, and the region beyond Jordan.
Anwonwade a Yesu yɛɛ yi maa nnipakuw a wofi Galilea ne nkurow “Dekapoli” no mu ne Yerusalem ne Yordan agya tu dii nʼakyi.
