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}.
Ki fuoŋanbi gedi yeni Jesu i tinkuongi n, ki sitaani bign o.
2 After he did not eat food for 40 days, and 40 nights. he was hungry.
Ki Jesu loli bu ñɔbu yentuna piina yeni ñiadi piina, ki mi komi cuo gu.
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]!”
Ki sitaani nagni ki maad o, ya tie U Tienu bijua cedi k a tana ne n kpandi jiedi.
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].’”
Ki jesu ŋmian o: li diani ki maadi, k ti jiedi po baba k a cedi k o nul pia li miali, ama ya maataana kuli ña U Tienu ñɔbi n.
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,
Ki sitaani tug o ki gedi yen o dingbanli ni, ki duon o jaandieciangu yuli po.
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.’”
Ki maadi o: a ya tie U Tienu b ijua, ŋan yugi ki jiidi, klima li diani ki maadi: U Tienu tondikaaba ba tebni ki gaba, ba k a taali n da si tanli
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!]’”
Ki Jesu yedi o: li mɔ diani ka kan bigni a diedo U Tienu.
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.
Ki sitaani guani ki tugi o ki gedi yeni o ya juali n kpedi paaa yuli po, ki waani o duliña munli kuli yeni li ŋanmu,
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.”
ki maadi o: n ba teni a lan kuli ne, li ya tie k a gbaani ki pugi nni.
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!’”
Ki Jesu yedi o: sudi n kan ne, fin sitaani! klima a baa pugi a Diedo U Tienu baba i, ki gɔ dondi wani baba i.
11 Then the devil went away, and right away, angels came to Jesus and took care of him.
Ki li yogu sitaani siedi ki ŋagu. Li yogu, ki maleki nba nagni ki tieni o buama
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].
Ki Jesu gbadi ki bi cuo San, k o ñani li kani ki gedi Galile.
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.
O ñani Nasareti ki gedi kafarnahom ki li ki fagi yeni li mɔgli, babilɔni yeni Nepitaali tingn nni.
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}:
Ki lan fidi U Tienu tondu Esayi n bo maadi yaali n fidi ki tieni yeni i mɔni.
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].
Yabulɔn yeni Nepitaali dogi n yaabi, yeni yaabi n kua ki kpia li mɔgli bɔnpuoli po Juuridan dogu yeni Galiile yaabi bi nimɔnbi.
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].
Li dogu n yaabi den ye bɔnbɔnli nni, k te la ya yinyienbi n yabi; ki yaabi n den kali mi kuuma bɔnbɔnli po mɔ la ya yinyienbi n cua ki fandi.
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].”
Ki li yogu ki Jesu ji cili ki muandi ki maadi, ŋa mani i tuonbiidi ki lebdi i ba klima U Tienu diema nago.
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.
Li bo tie yeni k o cuoni Galiile li mɔgli kung, ki la o ninjabi bonbilie, Siimɔn, yua ki bi yiigu Piar yeni Andre ki bi lu bi janbaandi li mɔgli nni ki kpaani i jami.
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]
Jesu maadi ba: ya ŋua man n ni, n bi cedi yin ya kpaani bi niba ki ji cedi li jancuoli.
20 They immediately left [the work that they were doing with] their [fishing] nets, and they went with him.
Li yogunu, ki bi ŋa bi janbaandi, ki ji ŋuagu
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.
Ki wan cuoni ki gedi liigi waami, k o la o ninjanbi bonbilie mɔ Jaak Sebede bidi yeni San o kpelo ki bi ye o ñunbiagu nni ki ŋanbdi bi janbaandi.
22 They immediately left their fishing boat and their father, and they went with Jesus.
K o yinbi, ki bi ŋa bi janbaandi yeni bi baà, ki ji ŋɔd o.
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.
O bo cuoni Galiile jandieciandi nni, ki muandi U Tienu diema maama, ki paagdi i yian buoli kuli.
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.
Bi ji den taagi o yeli kaana kuli Siri dogun ni, ki bi cuoni o kani yeni yaabi n yia i yian buali kuli: yaabi ka sanpola ŋuabi, yaabi n baali i ting yeni ti gbannankpiendi danb.
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].
O nuwuligu ji den ŋua o: Galiile, Dekapol, Jerusalem, Jude yeni Jourdin puoli.
