< Matthew 4 >

1 At that time Jesus was led up by the Spirit into the Desert in order to be tempted by the Devil.
Boka po Yesu ngapelekelwa ni Roho mpaka kupongoti lenga ajaribiwe ni nchela.
2 There He fasted for forty days and nights; and after that He suffered from hunger.
Atabike masoba arobaini mutwekati ni kilo ngaibona njala.
3 So the Tempter came and said, "If you are the Son of God, command these stones to turn into loaves."
Nchela atimwichilya ni kunkokiya, “Mana itei wenga wa mwana wa Nnongo, ugabakiye maliwe aga gapangite nkate.”
4 "It is written," replied Jesus, "'It is not on bread alone that a man shall live, but on whatsoever God shall appoint.'"
Lakini Yesu kan'yangwa ni kunkokiya, “Itiandikwa,'Mundu kana atama kwa nkate kichake, ila kwa kila likowe lyapita munkano wa Nnongo.'”
5 Then the Devil took Him to the Holy City and caused Him to stand on the roof of the Temple,
Boka po nchela ampelekile kunnema mtakatifu ni kunbeka kunani muno ya kuliyengo lya hekalu,
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.'"
ni kunkoya, “Mana itei wenga wa mwana wa Nnongo, witomboye pae, maana itiandikwa,'Alowa kwalazimisha malaika bake pake pakupoke,' ni 'kuku kakatuya kwa maboko gabe, linga wakana kobala lungolo lwake muliwe.”
7 "Again it is written," replied Jesus, "'Thou shalt not put the Lord thy God to the proof.'"
Yesu kaakoya, “Kae iandikilwe, kana un'geye Ngwana Nnongo bako.”
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,
Boka po nchela ngamputwike yendya mahali pa kunani muno ngamnaya utawala wote wa dunia ni ikowe yake yoti.
9 and said to Him, "All this I will give you, if you will kneel down and do me homage."
Kakoya, “Nalowa kukupeya ilebe yoti yino mana unisujudu ni kuniabudu.”
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.'"
Boka po Yesu kankoya, “boka uyende wa nchela! Mana iandikilwe,'Ipalikwa kumwabudu Ngwana Nnongo bako, ni umtumikie yembe kichake.'”
11 Thereupon the Devil left Him, and angels at once came and ministered to Him.
Nchela anlekite, nga linga, malaika ngaisa kunyangatia.
12 Now when Jesus heard that John was thrown into prison, He withdrew into Galilee,
Yesu nga yowine panga Yohana ateboyolwa, atiboka mpaka Galilaya.
13 and leaving Nazareth He went and settled at Capernaum, a town by the Lake on the frontiers of Zebulun and Naphtali,
Abokite Nazareti yenda ni kutama Karperanaumu, yaibile papipi ni bahari ya Galilaya, mpakani mwa lijimbo lya Zabuloni ni Naftali.
14 in order that these words, spoken through the Prophet Isaiah, might be fulfilled,
Ayee yapiti lenga litimii chelo chalongei nabii Isaya,
15 "Zebulun's land and Naphtali's land; the road by the Lake; the country beyond the Jordan; Galilee of the Nations!
Ku nnema wa Zabuloni ni nnema wa Naftali yendelya kubari, kwiye ya Yordani, Galilaya ya bamataifa!
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."
Bandu babatami mulubendo baubweni mbwega wananchima, ni balo batami pamwili wa kiwo, kunani ya mbwega yatikuwaangazia.”
17 From that time Jesus began to preach. "Repent," He said, "for the Kingdom of the Heavens is now close at hand."
Kuoma muda woo Yesu atumbwi hubiri kakoya, “mutubu, mana utawala wa kunani ulegelile.”
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.
Abile atyanga mbwega ya bahari ya Galilaya, amweni apendo abele, Simoni ywa kemela Petro, ni Andrea kaka bake, kabatengwa mbelete yabe mubahari, mana babile avuvi ba omba.
19 And He said to them, "Come and follow me, and I will make you fishers of men."
Yesu kaakoya, “Muiche munikengame, nilowa kuwapeya uvuvi wa bandu.”
20 So they immediately left their nets and followed Him. As He went further on,
Nga bailekite belele yabe ni kumkengama.
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.
Yesu abile kayendelya kuoma abweni apendo benge, Yakobo mwana wa Zebedayo, ni Yohana kaka bake babile mungalaba pamope ni tate babe Zebedayo kaba sokota mbelele yabe, Nga akema,
22 And they at once left the boat and their father, and followed Him.
ni mara jimo baileka ngalaba ni tate babe ni bembe kabankengama.
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.
Yesu ayei karibia Galilaya yoti, kapundisha mumasinagogi gabe kahubiri Injili ya utawala, ni kuponya kila matamwe ga bandu.
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.
Habari yake yayowanike Siria yoti, ni bandu kabaleta balo boti atamwe, bababile ni malazi goti ni minya, bababile ni moka, ni bene kiundaundani bababile lemile. Yesu kabaponiya.
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.
kipenga sa bandu bati kunkengama kuoma Galilaya ni Dekapoli, ni Yerusalemu ni Uyahudi ni kuoma ng'ambo ya Yordani.
