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}.
Hessafe guye, Xalahey Yesuusa paaccana mela Geeshsha Ayyaanay Yesuusa bazzo biittaa efis.
2 After he did not eat food for 40 days, and 40 nights. he was hungry.
Oytamu qammanne oytamu gallas xoomidaappe guye koshattis.
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]!”
Xalahey Yesuusakko yidi “Neeni Xoossaa na7a gidikko, ane ha shuchchati uythi gidana mela kiitta” yaagis.
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].’”
Yesuusi zaaridi, “‘Asi Xoossaa doonappe keyaa qaala ubban daanappe attin uytha xalaalan de7enna’ geetettidi Xoossaa qaalan xaafettis” yaagis.
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,
Kaallidikka, Xalahey Yesuusa geeshsha katamaa efidi, Xoossaa keetha huu7iya kessidi,
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.’”
“Neeni Xoossaa na7a gidikko, ane duge sa7an kundda. Ays giikko, ‘Ne tohoy shuchchan dhubetti deshettonna mela, bantta kushiyan nena denthana mela, Xoossay ba kiitanchchota ne gisho kiittana’ geetettidi Xoossaa qaalan xaafettis” yaagis.
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!]’”
Yesuusi iyaakko, “Qassika, ‘Xoossaa qaalan ne Godaa, ne Xoossaa paaccofa’ yaagettidi xaafettis” gidi zaaris.
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.
Wurssethan Xalahey Yesuusa issi wolqqaama deriya huu7e kessidi alamiya kawotethata entta bonchchuwara issife bessidi,
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.”
“Ne taw kunddada goynniko ta new ha ubbaa immana” yaagis.
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!’”
Yesuusi zaaridi, “Ha Xalahiyaw, taappe haakka! ‘Ne Godaa, ne Xoossaa goynna, iya xalaala haggaaza’ geetettidi Xoossaa qaalan xaafettis” yaagis.
11 Then the devil went away, and right away, angels came to Jesus and took care of him.
Hessafe guye, Xalahey aggidi bis; kiitanchchoti yidi iya haggaazidosona.
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].
Yesuusi, Yohaannisi qashettoyssa si7ida wode Galiila biittaa bis.
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.
Naazirete katamaa aggidi Zaabiloonaninne Niftaaleme heeran, abbaa matan de7iya Qifirnahoome katamaa bidi yan de7is.
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}:
Hessi haniday nabiya Isayaasa doonan,
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].
“Zaabiloone biittan, Niftaaleme biittan, Yorddaanose Shaafappe hefinthan, abbaa ogiya gaxan de7iya, Ayhude gidonna derey de7iya Galiilan,
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].
dhuman de7iya derey, wolqqaama poo7o be7is. Hayqo kuya biittan, de7eyssatas poo7oy keyis” yaagidi odettida qaalay polettana melassa.
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].”
He wodeppe doomidi Yesuusi, “Xoossaa kawotethay matattida gisho hintte nagaraappe simmite” yaagidi qaala sabbakees.
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.
Yesuusi Galiila Abbaa matara aadhdhishe nam77u ishata, Phexiroosa geetettiya Simoonanne iya ishaa Inddiriyasa be7is. Entti molo oykkeyssata gidida gisho bantta gitiya abban yeggoosona.
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]
Yesuusi enttana, “Haa yiite; tana kaallite! Molo oythi attoshin, ta hinttena ase oythi tamaarssana” yaagis.
20 They immediately left [the work that they were doing with] their [fishing] nets, and they went with him.
Enttika, ellesidi bantta gitiya yeggi aggidi Yesuusa kaallidosona.
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.
Yesuusi yaappe buroo gede sinthe aadhdhishe hara nam77u ishata, Zabdiyoosa nayta, Yayqoobanne Yohaannisa be7is. Bantta aawa Zabdiyoosara issife wogoluwa giddon bantta gitiya giigiseyssata xeegis.
22 They immediately left their fishing boat and their father, and they went with Jesus.
Enttika, ellesidi bantta wogoluwanne bantta aawa aggidi Yesuusa kaallidosona.
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.
Yesuusi Ayhude Woosa Keethatan tamaarssishe, salo kawotethaa Wonggelaa odishenne dumma dumma harggiyafe asaa pathishe Galiila biitta ubban yuuyis.
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.
Hessafe denddoyssan iya sunthay Sooriya biitta ubban keyis. Dumma dumma harggen oykettidayssatanne waayetteyssata, tuna ayyaanan oykettidayssata, shoci yeggiya harggen oykettidayssatanne, gunddata iyaakko ehidosona; ikka enttana pathis.
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].
Asay Galiilappe, Tammu Katamatappe, Yerusalaameppe, Yihudappenne Yorddaanose Shaafaa hefinthan de7iya biittaafe yida daro asay iya kaallidosona.
