< Matthew 4 >

1 Then Jesus was led up into the desert by the Spirit, to be tempted by the devil.
Pepano uYesu akalongosovua nu Mhepo uMwimike kuluta ku lihaka, kuuti aghelue nu Setano.
2 And after he had fasted forty days and forty nights, he became hungry,
Ukuo uYesu akavuhiila kulia mulwa kufuunya ifighono fijigho fine pakilo n a pamwisi. Pambel, e jikam'bava injala.
3 So the tempter came and said to him, "If you are the Son of God, bid these stones to become bread."
Pe uSetano akamwisila kukumughela akati, “Nave uve uli Mwana ghwa Nguluve, ghavuule amavue agha ghahambuke ghaave makate.”
4 Jesus answered him, "It is written, Not by bread alone shall man live, but by every word that comes from the mouth of God."
uYesu akamuka akati, “Lilembilue mu Malembe aMimike kuuti, 'Ikyakulia kyene nakikum'biika umuunhu kuuva mwumi, looli iiva mwumi vwimila amasio ghooni ghano ijova Nguluve.'”
5 Then the devil took him up into the Holy City and stood him on the parapet of the temple,
Pe uSetano akantwala uYesu mu likaaja ilyimike ilya Yelusalemu. Akam'biika pakyanya fiijo apa nyumba inyimike ija kufunyila,
6 and said to him. "If you are the Son of God, throw yourself down; for it is written, "He will give his angels charge over thee; Upon their hands they will bear thee up, Lest thou dash thy foot against a stone."
akam'buula akati, “Nave uve uli mwana ghwa Nguluve, ghujughuje paasi, ulwakuja mu avanyamhola vaake kulyuve vakwang'e mu mavoko ghaave kuuti aleke pighua pa livue na kulemela.””
7 "It is written again," answered Jesus, "Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God."
uYesu akamwamula kange akati, “Mu Malembe aMwimike lilambilue kuuti, “Nungamughelaghe uMutwa, uNguluve ghwako.”
8 Then the devil took Jesus to a very high mountain, and showed all the kingdoms of the earth and the glory of them,
Kange uSetano akamtwala uYesu pakyanya pa kidunda ikitali, pe akansoona iisi sooni palikimo nu vuvaha vwake.
9 and said to him, "All these will I give you, if you will fall down and worship me."
akam'buula akati, “Nave ghufughama na na kukunyimika une, nikukupeela ifi fyoni.”
10 "Begone, Satan!" answered Jesus, "for it is written, "Thou must worship the Lord thy God, and Him only must thou serve."
Pepano uYesu akati, “vuuka apa, Setano! Ulwakuva mu Malembe aMimike lilembile ndiiki, 'Umwimikaghe uMutwa, uNguluve Ghwako, kange um, bombelaghe jujuo mwene.'
11 Then the devil left him, and behold! angels came and began ministering to him.
Pepano uSetano akamuleka uYesu. Nakalingi, avanyamhola va Nguluve vakiisa, vakantengelela.
12 Now when Jesus heard that Johnhad been arrested, he withdrew into Galilee.
Unsiki ghula uYohani uMwofughi alyadindilue mu ndinde. UYesu ye apuliike imhola ijuo akalutga ku Galilaya.
13 He left Nazareth, and settled in Capernaum-by-the-Lake, near the borders of Zebulun and Naphtali,
Ukuo, akavuuka mu kikaaja ikya Nasaleti akaluta kukukala mu likaaja ilya Kapenaumu. Ilikaaja ilio lilyale mulubale mu lisube ilya Galilaya, imbale isa iisi ija Sabuloni ni ja Nafutali.
14 in order that these words spoken through Isaiah the prophet, might be fulfilled.
Uluo lulyavombiike kukwilanisia ilisio lino uMutwa alyajovile kukilila um'bili ghwake uYesaya kuuti,
15 Land of Zebulun, land of Naphtali; The road by the Lake; the country beyond Jordan; Galilee of the Gentiles!
Ilise ija Sabuloni ni ja Nafutali, mu sila jino jiluta ku sumbe, imambo ja kikohka ikya Yolidani, iisi ija Galilaya, kwe kuno vikukala avaanhu vano na Vayahudi.
16 The people who were dwelling in darkness Have seen a great light; And on those who were dwelling in the land of the shadows of death Light has dawned.
Avaanhu vala vano vikukakala mu ng'hiisi, valwaghile ulumuli uluvaha; voonpe vano vikukala mu ng'hiisi ija vufue, ulumuli luvamuliike.”
17 From that time Jesus began to preach, saying, "Repent for the kingdom of heaven is near."
Kuhuma unsiki ghula, uYesu akatengula kupulisia iiti, “Mulataghe inyivi siinu ulwakuva uvutwa uvwa kukyanya vuli piipi.”
18 And as he was walking by the see of Galilee, he saw two brothers- Simon who is called Peter, and Andrew, his brother-casting their net into the sea, for they were fishermen.
UYesu ye ighenda mulubale mu lisumbe ilya Galilaya, akavaagha avaanhu vavili vanamuunhu, juonga ghwe Simoni juno ilitavua ilingi akatambulwagha Peteli, nu Ndeleeya. Avaanhu ava valyale valovi, vakava nu nyaafu vilova isamaki mu lisumbe.
19 "Come, follow me," said Jesus, "And I will make you fishers of men."
UYesu akavavuula akati, Mumbingililaghe! Une nikuvaviika kuuva valovi va vaanhu.”
20 And they dropped their nets at once, and followed him.
Unsiki ghughuo vakasileka inyaafu saave, vakam'bingilila.
21 As he went farther on he saw two other brothers, Jamesthe son of Zebedee, and Johnhis brother, in the boat with Zebedee their father, mending their nets, and he called them.
UYesu akaluta pavulongolo padebe, akavaagha avanamuunhu vavili uYakovo nu Yohani avakina Sebedaayi. Avuo, valyale mu ngalava palikimo nu viise uSebedaayi, vakava viling'hania inyaafu saave, voope akavakemeela.
22 They immediately left the boat and their father, and followed him.
Pala pala avanamuunhu vala vakamuleka uviise ni ngalava, vakam'bingilila uYesu.
23 Then Jesus went about through Galilee, teaching in the synagogues, and preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing every kind of disease and infirmity among the people.
UYesu akava ighenda mu kighavo kyoni ikya Galilaya. Akava ikwingila mu masinagogi ghaave, ivulanisia na kupulisia iMhola iNofu ija vutwa vwaNguluve, kange akavasosyaghe avatamu inhamu saave sooni.
24 And his fame spread throughout all Syria. They brought all the sick to him, those who were suffering from various diseases and troubles- demoniacs, epileptics, paralytics-and he healed them.
Imhola saake sikkakwila fiijo kuhanga kufika mu kighavo kyoni ikya Silia. Avaanhu pe vakavatwalagha avatamu vooni vano valyale ni nhumu sino silyale papinga. Mu avuo, mwevalyale vano valyale na mapepo amalamafu, na vanya kivafi na vanya liteela. UYesu akavasosyagha avuo vooni.
25 Great crowds followed him from Galilee, from the ten towns, from Jerusalem, and Judea, and from beyond Jordan.
Amapugha agha vaanhu kuhuma ku Galilaya, ku Dekapoli, ku Yelusalemu, ku Yudea ni mwambo ija kikogha ikya Yolidani ghakava ghikum'bili.
