< Matthew 4 >

1 Then Jesus was led up by the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted by the devil.
Pepano uYesu akalongosovua nu Mhepo uMwimike kuluta ku lihaka, kuuti aghelue nu Setano.
2 When he had fasted forty days and forty nights, he was hungry afterward.
Ukuo uYesu akavuhiila kulia mulwa kufuunya ifighono fijigho fine pakilo n a pamwisi. Pambel, e jikam'bava injala.
3 The tempter came and said to him, “If you are the Son of God, command that these stones become bread.”
Pe uSetano akamwisila kukumughela akati, “Nave uve uli Mwana ghwa Nguluve, ghavuule amavue agha ghahambuke ghaave makate.”
4 But he answered, “It is written, ‘Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds out of God’s mouth.’”
uYesu akamuka akati, “Lilembilue mu Malembe aMimike kuuti, 'Ikyakulia kyene nakikum'biika umuunhu kuuva mwumi, looli iiva mwumi vwimila amasio ghooni ghano ijova Nguluve.'”
5 Then the devil took him into the holy city. He set him on the pinnacle of the temple,
Pe uSetano akantwala uYesu mu likaaja ilyimike ilya Yelusalemu. Akam'biika pakyanya fiijo apa nyumba inyimike ija kufunyila,
6 and said to him, “If you are the Son of God, throw yourself down, for it is written, ‘He will command his angels concerning you,’ and, ‘On their hands they will bear you up, so that you don’t dash your foot against a stone.’”
akam'buula akati, “Nave uve uli mwana ghwa Nguluve, ghujughuje paasi, ulwakuja mu avanyamhola vaake kulyuve vakwang'e mu mavoko ghaave kuuti aleke pighua pa livue na kulemela.””
7 Jesus said to him, “Again, it is written, ‘You shall not test the Lord, your God.’”
uYesu akamwamula kange akati, “Mu Malembe aMwimike lilambilue kuuti, “Nungamughelaghe uMutwa, uNguluve ghwako.”
8 Again, the devil took him to an exceedingly high mountain, and showed him all the kingdoms of the world and their glory.
Kange uSetano akamtwala uYesu pakyanya pa kidunda ikitali, pe akansoona iisi sooni palikimo nu vuvaha vwake.
9 He said to him, “I will give you all of these things, if you will fall down and worship me.”
akam'buula akati, “Nave ghufughama na na kukunyimika une, nikukupeela ifi fyoni.”
10 Then Jesus said to him, “Get behind me, Satan! For it is written, ‘You shall worship the Lord your God, and you shall serve him only.’”
Pepano uYesu akati, “vuuka apa, Setano! Ulwakuva mu Malembe aMimike lilembile ndiiki, 'Umwimikaghe uMutwa, uNguluve Ghwako, kange um, bombelaghe jujuo mwene.'
11 Then the devil left him, and behold, angels came and served him.
Pepano uSetano akamuleka uYesu. Nakalingi, avanyamhola va Nguluve vakiisa, vakantengelela.
12 Now when Jesus heard that John was delivered up, he withdrew into Galilee.
Unsiki ghula uYohani uMwofughi alyadindilue mu ndinde. UYesu ye apuliike imhola ijuo akalutga ku Galilaya.
13 Leaving Nazareth, he came and lived in Capernaum, which is by the sea, in the region of Zebulun and Naphtali,
Ukuo, akavuuka mu kikaaja ikya Nasaleti akaluta kukukala mu likaaja ilya Kapenaumu. Ilikaaja ilio lilyale mulubale mu lisube ilya Galilaya, imbale isa iisi ija Sabuloni ni ja Nafutali.
14 that it might be fulfilled which was spoken through Isaiah the prophet, saying,
Uluo lulyavombiike kukwilanisia ilisio lino uMutwa alyajovile kukilila um'bili ghwake uYesaya kuuti,
15 “The land of Zebulun and the land of Naphtali, toward the sea, beyond the Jordan, Galilee of the Gentiles,
Ilise ija Sabuloni ni ja Nafutali, mu sila jino jiluta ku sumbe, imambo ja kikohka ikya Yolidani, iisi ija Galilaya, kwe kuno vikukala avaanhu vano na Vayahudi.
16 the people who sat in darkness saw a great light; to those who sat in the region and shadow of death, to them light has dawned.”
Avaanhu vala vano vikukakala mu ng'hiisi, valwaghile ulumuli uluvaha; voonpe vano vikukala mu ng'hiisi ija vufue, ulumuli luvamuliike.”
17 From that time, Jesus began to preach, and to say, “Repent! For the Kingdom of Heaven is at hand.”
Kuhuma unsiki ghula, uYesu akatengula kupulisia iiti, “Mulataghe inyivi siinu ulwakuva uvutwa uvwa kukyanya vuli piipi.”
18 Walking by the sea of Galilee, he saw two brothers: Simon, who is called Peter, and Andrew, his brother, casting a net into the sea; for they were fishermen.
UYesu ye ighenda mulubale mu lisumbe ilya Galilaya, akavaagha avaanhu vavili vanamuunhu, juonga ghwe Simoni juno ilitavua ilingi akatambulwagha Peteli, nu Ndeleeya. Avaanhu ava valyale valovi, vakava nu nyaafu vilova isamaki mu lisumbe.
19 He said to them, “Come after me, and I will make you fishers for men.”
UYesu akavavuula akati, Mumbingililaghe! Une nikuvaviika kuuva valovi va vaanhu.”
20 They immediately left their nets and followed him.
Unsiki ghughuo vakasileka inyaafu saave, vakam'bingilila.
21 Going on from there, he saw two other brothers, James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother, in the boat with Zebedee their father, mending their nets. He called them.
UYesu akaluta pavulongolo padebe, akavaagha avanamuunhu vavili uYakovo nu Yohani avakina Sebedaayi. Avuo, valyale mu ngalava palikimo nu viise uSebedaayi, vakava viling'hania inyaafu saave, voope akavakemeela.
22 They immediately left the boat and their father, and followed him.
Pala pala avanamuunhu vala vakamuleka uviise ni ngalava, vakam'bingilila uYesu.
23 Jesus went about in all Galilee, teaching in their synagogues, preaching the Good News of the Kingdom, and healing every disease and every sickness among the people.
UYesu akava ighenda mu kighavo kyoni ikya Galilaya. Akava ikwingila mu masinagogi ghaave, ivulanisia na kupulisia iMhola iNofu ija vutwa vwaNguluve, kange akavasosyaghe avatamu inhamu saave sooni.
24 The report about him went out into all Syria. They brought to him all who were sick, afflicted with various diseases and torments, possessed with demons, epileptics, and paralytics; and he healed them.
Imhola saake sikkakwila fiijo kuhanga kufika mu kighavo kyoni ikya Silia. Avaanhu pe vakavatwalagha avatamu vooni vano valyale ni nhumu sino silyale papinga. Mu avuo, mwevalyale vano valyale na mapepo amalamafu, na vanya kivafi na vanya liteela. UYesu akavasosyagha avuo vooni.
25 Great multitudes from Galilee, Decapolis, Jerusalem, Judea, and from beyond the Jordan followed him.
Amapugha agha vaanhu kuhuma ku Galilaya, ku Dekapoli, ku Yelusalemu, ku Yudea ni mwambo ija kikogha ikya Yolidani ghakava ghikum'bili.
