Matthew 4
1 Then Jesus was led by the Spirit {[God’s] Spirit led Jesus} into a desolate area to be tempted by the devil {in order that the devil would tempt him}.
Chutah in Yeshua chu lhagao puiyin gamthip'a diabol lhep patep dingin aum tai.
2 After he did not eat food for 40 days, and 40 nights. he was hungry.
Ni somli le jan somli jen, an ngol ahijeh chun agil akel behseh jeng in ahi.
3 [Satan], the tempter, came to him and said, “Because you [claim that you have a relationship with] God [as] a son [has with his father] [MET], [prove it] by commanding these stones to become bread [so that you can eat them]!”
Hiche phat sung chun Diabol chu ahung in ajah a, “Nangma Pathen Chapa nahileh, hiche songchang hohi changlhah akiso theina ding in thu pen,” ati.
4 But Jesus said [to him], “[No! I will not change stones into bread, because] it is written [in the Scriptures] {in the Scriptures [Moses] wrote}, [‘Eating] food [SYN] [sustains] people [physically, but] it does not sustain them [spiritually] [SYN]. Instead, [paying attention to] everything that God has spoken [to them is what sustains people spiritually].’”
Hinlah Yeshuan ajah a, “Ahipoi! Pathen Thubun aseiye, Mihem changlhah bouva hingthei ahipoi, Pathen kam sunga kon hung potdoh Thua bou chu hing ding ahi,” ati.
5 Then the devil took Jesus to [Jerusalem], the city that is dedicated to God. He set him on the highest part of the Temple,
Chuin Diabol chun khopi theng, Jerusalem hou in ting vuma chun adinsah kit in,
6 and said to him, “Because you [claim that you have a relationship with] God [as] a son [has with his father, prove it by] jumping down [to the ground. You will not be hurt], because it is written [in the Scriptures], [‘God] will command his angels to protect you. They will lift you up in their hands [when you are falling], in order that [you will not get hurt]. You will not [even] strike your foot on a stone.’”
ajah a, “Nangma Pathen Chapa nahileh, ki chomlhan!” Ajeh chu Pathen Thubun aseiye, “Aman avantil te nangma hongbit dinga thu apeh ding, chule amahon nangma akhut uva nadop doh dingu chutia chu nangman nakeng phang jeng jong songa nakita khah lou ding ahi,” ati.
7 But Jesus said, “[No! I] will not [jump down, because] in another place [in the Scriptures] it is written {there are these words that [Moses] wrote}: ‘Do not [try to] test the Lord your God [to see if he will prevent something bad from happening to you when you do something foolish!]’”
Yeshuan adonbut in, “Pathen Thubun hitin jong aseiye, nangman Pakai na Pathen chu lhem patep hih in,” ati.
8 Then the devil took him on [top of] a very high mountain. There he showed him all the nations in the world and the magnificent things in those nations.
Chujouvin Diabol in molsang chungvum a chun apuiyin chule vannoi lenggam jouse le aloupina ho avetsah in ahi.
9 And then he said to him, “I will [let you rule all these nations and] give you the magnificent things in them if you bow down and worship me.”
Aman ajah a, “Nangma naboh khup'a chule keima nei houva ahileh, keiman nangma aboncha hi kapeh ding nahi,” atikit in ahileh,
10 But Jesus said to him, “[No, I will not worship you], Satan, [so] go away! It is written in the Scriptures, ‘It is the Lord your God whom you [(pl)] must worship, and you [(pl)] must serve only him!’”
Yeshuan ajah a, “Satan, hichea kon hin potdoh'in. Ajeh chu Pathen Thubun aseiye, nangman Pakai na Pathen chu nahouva chule Amabou najen ding ahi,” ati.
11 Then the devil went away, and right away, angels came to Jesus and took care of him.
Chutah in Diabol chu ache mang in, chuin Vantil te ahung un, Yeshua chu ahung jen le tauve.
12 [While] Jesus [was in Judea, John the Baptizer’s disciples] told him that John had been put in prison and kept there {that [Herod Antipas] had put John [the Baptizer] in prison [and kept him there]}. [So] Jesus returned to Galilee [District]. While he was in Galilee, he first went to Nazareth [town].
Yeshua chun John aman tauve tithu ajah phat in, Judea gam adalhan Galilee gama ahung kile kittai.
13 Then he left Nazareth and went to Capernaum [city in order to live there. Capernaum is located beside Galilee Lake in the region which was formerly] the regions of [the tribes of] Zebulun and Naphtali.
Ama amasatah in Nazareth chen, chuin chu mun chu adalhan, Zebulun le Naphtali gamkai sung Galilee twipi panga, Capernaum khoa aga cheng in ahi.
14 [One reason that he went there] was so that [these words] that were written by the prophet Isaiah might be fulfilled {so that he might fulfill these words that the prophet Isaiah wrote}:
Hichu Isaiah Themgao kam a Pathen thusei:
15 “Zebulun region and Naphtali region [are on] the road [which is] near Galilee [Lake and] on the eastern side of the Jordan [River. They are] the regions in Galilee [District where many] non-Jews [are living].
“Zebulun le Naphtali gam, twipi pam, Jordan vadung gal'a Galilee gam, chidang nam dang tampi umna mun,
16 [Although the people there will be like] people who sit in a dark place [MET], [they will suddenly perceive clearly a new teaching, as] people who have seen a big light shining on them [MET] perceive everything clearly. [The] people who are located in a dangerous [MET] region [will suddenly perceive clearly what God teaches], as people on whom a light shines perceive things clearly [MET, DOU].
muthim lah a touho chun vah loupi tah amu tauve, chule thina gam le alim a touho chu achung'uva kho avah tai,” ati chu agui lhunna ahi.
17 From that time, [while] Jesus was [in Capernaum city, he began to preach this to people: “God [MTY/EUP] will very soon begin to rule, and he will judge you when he rules]. So you [(pl)] need to turn from your sinful ways [so that God will not punish you].”
Hichea pat chun Yeshuan thu asei phong in, “Na chonset nauva kon in lung heiyun chule Pathen lama hung ki heiyun, ijeh inem itileh Van gam anai tai,” ati.
18 [One day] while Jesus was walking by Galilee Lake, he saw two men, Simon, who was [later] called Peter, and Andrew, his [younger] brother. They were casting their [fishing] net into the lake because they [earned money by] catching [and selling] fish.
Nikhat hi Yeshua Galilee twipi pam'a achea avale pet in, aman uchani—Simon, Peter jong kitipa le Andrew in twi lah a len asepet lhon agatoh e, ajeh chu amani ngaman a kivah lhon ahi.
19 He said to them, “[Just like you have been] gathering fish, come with me and I will teach you how to gather people [to become my disciples].” [MET]
Yeshuan amani chu akouvin, “Hung lhon in, kanung hinjui lhon in chule keiman miho iti mat ding ahi navetsah lhon inge,” ati.
20 They immediately left [the work that they were doing with] their [fishing] nets, and they went with him.
Chuin amanin apet tah chun alen lhon adalha lhon in chule Ama nung ajui lhon tai.
21 As [the three of them] walked on from there, Jesus saw two other men, James, and John, the [younger] brother of James. [They were] in their boat with Zebedee, their father, mending their [fishing] nets. Jesus told them that [they should leave their work and] go with him.
Chule Ama chukom'a kon chun ache pai in ahileh, ucha dang mini Jacob le anaopa John kong sunga apau Zebedee toh atou khom uva len akhui phat pet'u aga mun, chuin Aman amani jong chu akouvin ahi.
22 They immediately left their fishing boat and their father, and they went with Jesus.
Amanin chupet tah chun kong le apa adalha lhon in, anung ajui pai jeng lhon tai.
23 Jesus went [with those four men] throughout all of Galilee [District]. He was teaching [the people] in the buildings where we Jews worship God. He was preaching the good message that tells how to become members of the group of people whose lives God rules over. He was also healing all [the Galileans] who had diseases or who were sick.
Chule Yeshua chu Galilee gamkai sea akhol jin in, Judah te kikhopna intin ah thu ahil in, Lenggam Kipana Thupha aseiphong len ahi. Chule Ama chun miho natna jouse le adamlou jouse chu aboldam in ahi.
24 When people who lived in other parts of Syria [District] heard [PRS] what he was doing, they brought to him people who suffered from illnesses, people who suffered from many kinds of diseases, people who [suffered from] severe pains, people who were controlled by demons {whom demons controlled}, people who were epileptics, and people who were paralyzed. And Jesus healed them all.
Ama chung chang thu chu Syria geiyin aki thang doh in, hiti chun miho chun ana damlou jouse chu akom a ahin puiyuve. Chule itobang natna le hivei neiya nat thoh lel ho, thilha vop ho le alung chavai ho hihen, chule langthi ho hijong leh Ama koma ahin puiyun, aman amaho chu aboncha uvin aboldam sohkeiyin ahi.
25 Then crowds started to go with him. [They were people from] Galilee [District], (from the Decapolis/from the Ten Towns [area]), from Jerusalem [city], from other [parts of] Judea [district], and from areas east of the Jordan [River].
Ama chena chan a chun Galilee, Decapolis (Khopi som kitina), Jerusalem chule Judea gama kon le Jordan gal lama kon in, mipi tamtah'in anung ajui tauvin ahi.
