Matthew 4
1 Then Jesus was led up into the wilderness by the Spirit to be tempted by the devil.
Emesịa, Mmụọ Nsọ duuru Jisọs baa nʼọzara ka ekwensu nwaa ya ọnwụnwa.
2 And, after he had fasted for forty days and forty nights, he became hungry.
Mgbe o busiri ọnụ iri ụbọchị anọ ehihie na abalị, agụụ gụrụ ya nke ukwuu.
3 The Tempter came to him, and said: “If you are God’s Son, tell these stones to become loaves of bread.”
Mgbe ahụ onye ọnwụnwa ahụ bịakwutere ya sị, “Ọ bụrụ na ị bụ Ọkpara Chineke, gwa nkume ndị a ka ha ghọọ achịcha.”
4 But Jesus answered, “Scripture says – ‘It is not on bread alone that a person is to live, but on every word that comes from the mouth of God.’”
Ma Jisọs zara, “E dere ya nʼakwụkwọ nsọ sị, ‘Ọ bụghị naanị site na achịchaka mmadụ si adị ndụ, kama site nʼokwu niile si nʼọnụ Chineke pụta.’”
5 Then the devil took him to the Holy City, and, placing him on the parapet of the temple, said to him,
Mgbe ahụ, ekwensu duuru ya baa nʼobodo nsọ ahụ, mee ka o guzo nʼebe dịkarịsịrị elu nke ụlọnsọ ukwu,
6 “If you are God’s Son, throw yourself down, for scripture says – ‘He will give his angels commands about you, and on their hands they will lift you up, so you do not even strike your foot against a stone.’”
sị ya, “Ọ bụrụ na ị bụ Ọkpara Chineke, site nʼebe a tụda onwe gị nʼala. Nʼihi na e dere ya nʼakwụkwọ nsọ sị, “‘Ọ ga-enye ndị mmụọ ozi ya iwu banyere gị, ha ga-ebuli gị elu nʼaka ha ka ị ghara ịkpọbi ụkwụ gị na nkume.’”
7 “Scripture also says,” answered Jesus, “‘You must not tempt the Lord your God.’”
Ma Jisọs zara sị ya, “E deela ya nʼakwụkwọ nsọ sị, ‘Ị gaghị anwa Onyenwe gị na Chineke gị ọnwụnwa.’”
8 The third time, the devil took Jesus to a very high mountain, and, showing him all the kingdoms of the world and their splendor, said to him:
Ọzọkwa, ekwensu kpọọrọ ya gaa nʼelu ugwu dị elu, gosi ya alaeze niile nke ụwa na ebube ha.
9 “All these I will give you, if you will fall at my feet and worship me.”
Ọ sịrị ya, “Aga m enye gị ha niile ma ọ bụrụ na ị daa nʼala kpọọ isiala nye m.”
10 Then Jesus said to him, “Go away, Satan! For scripture says – ‘You must worship the Lord your God, and worship him only.’”
Ma Jisọs sịrị ya, “Si nʼebe m nọ pụọ, ekwensu. Nʼihi na akwụkwọ nsọ kwuru sị, ‘Ọ bụ naanị Onyenwe anyị Chineke gị ka ị ga-akpọ isiala nye, naanị ya ka ị ga-efekwa.’”
11 Then the devil left him alone, and angels came and helped him.
Mgbe ahụ ekwensu hapụrụ ya laa. Ndị mmụọ ozi bịakwutere ya, nọnyere ya, na-ejere ya ozi.
12 When Jesus heard that John had been arrested, he returned to Galilee.
Mgbe Jisọs nụrụ na e tinyela Jọn nʼụlọ mkpọrọ, ọ pụrụ gaa Galili.
13 Afterward, leaving Nazareth, he went and settled at Capernaum, which is by the side of the sea, within the borders of Zebulun and Naphtali;
Emesịa, ọ hapụrụ Nazaret gaa biri na Kapanọm, bụ obodo dị nʼakụkụ osimiri Galili. Ọ dị nso nʼoke ala Zebụlọn na Naftalị.
14 in fulfillment of these words in the prophet Isaiah –
Nʼụzọ dị otu a, amụma ahụ Aịzaya buru mezuru. Amụma nke sịrị,
15 ‘The land of Zebulun and the land of Naphtali, the land of the Road by the sea, and beyond the Jordan, with Galilee of the Gentiles –
“Ala Zebụlọn na ala Naftalị, nke dị nʼakụkụ osimiri, nʼofe Jọdan, Galili nke ndị mba ọzọ,
16 The people who were living in darkness have seen a great light, and, for those who were living in the shadow-land of death, a light has dawned!’
ndị nọ nʼọchịchịrị ahụla ìhè dị ukwuu. Ndị bi nʼala onyinyo ọnwụ ka ìhè nwukwasịrị.”
17 At that time Jesus began to proclaim – “Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.”
Site nʼoge ahụ gaa nʼihu Jisọs bidoro na-ekwusa na-asị, “Chegharịanụ, nʼihi na alaeze eluigwe dị nso.”
18 As Jesus was walking along the shore of the Sea of Galilee, he saw two brothers – Simon, also known as Peter, and his brother Andrew – casting a net into the sea; for they were fishermen.
Ma mgbe Jisọs na-agafe nʼakụkụ osimiri Galili, ọ hụrụ ụmụnne abụọ, Saimọn onye a na-akpọ Pita, na Andru nwanne ya, ndị ọrụ ha bụ ịkụ azụ, ebe ha nọ nʼụgbọ mmiri na-akụ azụ.
19 “Come and follow me,” Jesus said, “and I will teach you to fish for people.”
Ọ sịrị ha, “Bịanụ soro m. Aga m eme unu ndị ọkụ na-akụta mmadụ.”
20 The two men left their nets at once and followed him.
Ha hapụrụ ụgbụ azụ ha otu mgbe ahụ soro ya.
21 Going further on, he saw two other men who were also brothers, James, Zebedee’s son, and his brother John, in their boat with their father, mending their nets. Jesus called them,
Mgbe ọ gara nʼihu nke nta, ọ hụrụ ụmụnne abụọ ọzọ, Jemis nwa Zebedi na Jọn nwanne ya, ebe ha na nna ha Zebedi nọ nʼime ụgbọ mmiri na-ekezi ụgbụ azụ ha. Ọ kpọkwara ha,
22 and they at once left their boat and their father, and followed him.
ngwangwa ha hapụrụ ụgbọ ha na nna ha soro ya.
23 Jesus went all through Galilee, teaching in their synagogues, proclaiming the good news of the kingdom, and curing every kind of disease and every kind of sickness among the people;
Jisọs jegharịrị nʼobodo niile nke Galili, na-akụzi ihe nʼụlọ nzukọ niile ha, na-ekwusakwa oziọma nke alaeze ahụ. Ọ na-agwọkwa ọrịa na nrịa nrịa niile dị iche iche nʼetiti ndị ahụ.
24 and his fame spread all through Syria. They brought to him all who were ill with any form of disease, or who were suffering pain – any who were either possessed by demons, or were lunatic, or paralyzed; and he cured them.
Akụkọ banyere ya gbasara jezuo akụkụ Siria niile. Mgbe ahụ ọtụtụ ndị mmadụ kpọtaara ya ndị niile ahụ na-esighị ike, ndị na-arịa ụdị ọrịa dị iche iche, ndị nwere ahụ mgbu, na ndị mmụọ ọjọọ na-esogbu, na ndị akwụkwụ, na ndị akụkụ ahụ ha kpọnwụrụ akpọnwụ. Ọ gwọkwara ha niile.
25 He was followed by large crowds from Galilee, the district of the Ten Towns, Jerusalem, Judea, and from beyond the Jordan.
Ọtụtụ mmadụ sitere na Galili, Dekapọlịs, Jerusalem, Judịa na nʼofe osimiri Jọdan, soro ya.
