Matthew 4
1 At that time Jesus was led up by the Spirit into the Desert in order to be tempted by the Devil.
Emesịa, Mmụọ Nsọ duuru Jisọs baa nʼọzara ka ekwensu nwaa ya ọnwụnwa.
2 There He fasted for forty days and nights; and after that He suffered from hunger.
Mgbe o busiri ọnụ iri ụbọchị anọ ehihie na abalị, agụụ gụrụ ya nke ukwuu.
3 So the Tempter came and said, "If you are the Son of God, command these stones to turn into loaves."
Mgbe ahụ onye ọnwụnwa ahụ bịakwutere ya sị, “Ọ bụrụ na ị bụ Ọkpara Chineke, gwa nkume ndị a ka ha ghọọ achịcha.”
4 "It is written," replied Jesus, "'It is not on bread alone that a man shall live, but on whatsoever God shall appoint.'"
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 caused Him to stand on the roof of the Temple,
Mgbe ahụ, ekwensu duuru ya baa nʼobodo nsọ ahụ, mee ka o guzo nʼebe dịkarịsịrị elu nke ụlọnsọ ukwu,
6 and said, "If you are God's Son, throw yourself down; for it is written, "'To His angels He will give orders concerning thee, and on their hands they shall bear thee up, lest at any moment thou shouldst strike thy 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 "Again it is written," replied Jesus, "'Thou shalt not put the Lord thy God to the proof.'"
Ma Jisọs zara sị ya, “E deela ya nʼakwụkwọ nsọ sị, ‘Ị gaghị anwa Onyenwe gị na Chineke gị ọnwụnwa.’”
8 Then the Devil took Him to the top of an exceedingly lofty mountain, from which he caused Him to see all the Kingdoms of the world and their splendour,
Ọzọkwa, ekwensu kpọọrọ ya gaa nʼelu ugwu dị elu, gosi ya alaeze niile nke ụwa na ebube ha.
9 and said to Him, "All this I will give you, if you will kneel down and do me homage."
Ọ sịrị ya, “Aga m enye gị ha niile ma ọ bụrụ na ị daa nʼala kpọọ isiala nye m.”
10 "Begone, Satan!" Jesus replied; "for it is written, 'To the Lord thy God thou shalt do homage, and to Him alone shalt thou render worship.'"
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 Thereupon the Devil left Him, and angels at once came and ministered to Him.
Mgbe ahụ ekwensu hapụrụ ya laa. Ndị mmụọ ozi bịakwutere ya, nọnyere ya, na-ejere ya ozi.
12 Now when Jesus heard that John was thrown into prison, He withdrew into Galilee,
Mgbe Jisọs nụrụ na e tinyela Jọn nʼụlọ mkpọrọ, ọ pụrụ gaa Galili.
13 and leaving Nazareth He went and settled at Capernaum, a town by the Lake on the frontiers 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 order that these words, spoken through the Prophet Isaiah, might be fulfilled,
Nʼụzọ dị otu a, amụma ahụ Aịzaya buru mezuru. Amụma nke sịrị,
15 "Zebulun's land and Naphtali's land; the road by the Lake; the country beyond the Jordan; Galilee of the Nations!
“Ala Zebụlọn na ala Naftalị, nke dị nʼakụkụ osimiri, nʼofe Jọdan, Galili nke ndị mba ọzọ,
16 The people who were dwelling in darkness have seen a brilliant light; and on those who were dwelling in the region of the shadow of death, on them light has dawned."
ndị nọ nʼọchịchịrị ahụla ìhè dị ukwuu. Ndị bi nʼala onyinyo ọnwụ ka ìhè nwukwasịrị.”
17 From that time Jesus began to preach. "Repent," He said, "for the Kingdom of the Heavens is now close at hand."
Site nʼoge ahụ gaa nʼihu Jisọs bidoro na-ekwusa na-asị, “Chegharịanụ, nʼihi na alaeze eluigwe dị nso.”
18 And walking along the shore of the Lake of Galilee He saw two brothers--Simon called Peter and his brother Andrew--throwing a drag-net into the Lake; for they were fishers.
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 And He said to them, "Come and follow me, and I will make you fishers of men."
Ọ sịrị ha, “Bịanụ soro m. Aga m eme unu ndị ọkụ na-akụta mmadụ.”
20 So they immediately left their nets and followed Him. As He went further on,
Ha hapụrụ ụgbụ azụ ha otu mgbe ahụ soro ya.
21 He saw two other brothers, James the son of Zabdi and his brother John, in the boat with their father Zabdi mending their nets; and He 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 the boat and their father, and followed Him.
ngwangwa ha hapụrụ ụgbọ ha na nna ha soro ya.
23 Then Jesus travelled through all Galilee, teaching in their synagogues and proclaiming the Good News of the Kingdom, and curing every kind of disease and infirmity 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 Thus His fame spread through all Syria; and they brought all the sick to Him, the people who were suffering from various diseases and pains--demoniacs, epileptics, paralytics; 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 And great crowds followed Him, coming from Galilee, from the Ten Towns, from Jerusalem, and from beyond the district on the other side of the Jordan.
Ọtụtụ mmadụ sitere na Galili, Dekapọlịs, Jerusalem, Judịa na nʼofe osimiri Jọdan, soro ya.
