Mateo 4
1 Esia megbe la, Gbɔgbɔ Kɔkɔe la kplɔ Yesu yi gbedzii be Abosam natee kpɔ.
Then was Jesus led up by the Spirit into the wilderness, to be tempted by the devil.
2 Yesu tsi nu dɔ le afi sia ŋkeke blaene kple zã blaene, eye emegbe dɔ wui vevie.
And when he had fasted forty days and forty nights, he was afterward hungry.
3 Esi Abosam kpɔ esia la, eva tee kpɔ gblɔ nɛ be, “Nenye wòe nye Mawu ƒe Vi la vavã la, ɖe gbe na kpe siawo be woatrɔ azu abolo na wò nàɖu.”
And the tempter came to him and said: If you are the Son of God, command that these stones become bread.
4 Yesu ɖo eŋu nɛ be, “Woŋlɔe ɖi be, ‘Menye nuɖuɖu ɖeɖe ko ŋu amegbetɔ anɔ agbe ɖo o, ke boŋ nya sia nya si Mawu gblɔ la ŋutie.’”
But he answered and said: It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that comes forth from the mouth of God.
5 Azɔ Abosam gakplɔe yi du kɔkɔe la me eye wòtsɔe ɖo gbedoxɔ la ƒe kɔkɔƒe kekeake.
Then the devil took him into the holy city, and placed him on the pinnacle of the temple,
6 Egblɔ nɛ be, “Nenye Mawu vie nènye vavã la, ti kpo tso afi sia. Elabena woŋlɔ ɖi bena: “‘Aɖe gbe na eƒe dɔlawo le ŋutiwò, eye woatsɔ wò ɖe woƒe asiwo me ale be màtsɔ wò afɔ axlã ɖe kpe aɖeke o.’”
and said to him: If you are the Son of God, throw yourself down, for it is written: He will give his angels charge concerning you; and in their hands shall they take you up, lest you strike your foot against a stone.
7 Yesu gagblɔ nɛ be, “Woŋlɔ da ɖi hã be, mègate Aƒetɔ wò Mawu kpɔ o.”
Jesus said to him: It is again written, You shall not put the Lord your God to the proof.
8 Esia megbe la, Abosam kplɔ Yesu yi to kɔkɔ aɖe ƒe tsyɔ̃eƒe ke, eye wòɖe xexea me fiaɖuƒewo katã kple woƒe atsyɔ̃nuwo fiae.
Again, the devil took him to a very high mountain, and showed him all the kingdoms of the world and the glory of them,
9 Egblɔ nɛ be, “Matsɔ nu siawo katã na wò nenye be nèdze klo de ta agu nam ko.”
and said to him: All these things will I give you, if you will fall down and worship me.
10 Yesu blu ɖe Satan ta be, “Satana, te ɖa le gbɔnye! Mèse mawunya gblɔ be, ‘Aƒetɔ wò Mawu la ko nàsubɔ, eya ko wòle be nàɖo toe oa?’”
Then Jesus said to him: Get behind me, Satan, for it is written: You shall worship the Lord your God, and him only shall you serve.
11 Ale Abosam gblẽe ɖi hedzo, eye mawudɔlawo va egbɔ va subɔe.
Then the devil left him, and behold, angels came and ministered to him.
12 Esi Yesu se be wolé Yohanes de gaxɔ me la, edzo le Yudea yi wo de le Nazaret si le Galilea,
Now when Jesus heard that John was delivered up; he withdrew into Galilee;
13 ke egadzo le afi sia hã va Kapernaum si te ɖe Galilea ƒua ŋu le Zebulon kple Naftali nutowo me.
and, leaving Nazareth, he went and dwelt in Capernaum, which is upon the sea, in the borders of Zebulon and Naphtali,
14 Yesu ƒe afi sia vava wu nya si Nyagblɔɖila Yesaya gblɔ da ɖi la nu be,
that the word might be fulfilled which was spoken by Isaiah the prophet, saying:
15 “Mi Zebulon kple Naftali, mi anyigba siwo le ƒuta, kple anyigba siwo le Yɔdan tɔsisi la godo, va se ɖe ame siwo menye Yudatɔwo o la ƒe Galilea,
The land of Zebulon, and the land of Naphtali, toward the sea beyond the Jordan, Galilee of the Gentiles;
16 miawoe nye ame siwo nɔ viviti me tsã, gake fifia la, Kekeli gã aɖe klẽ na mi. Mi ame siwo nɔ ku ƒe anyigba dzi, Kekeli klẽ na mi.”
the people that sat in darkness saw great light; and upon those who sat in the region and shadow of death light has risen.
17 Tso esia dzi la, Yesu de asi gbeƒãɖeɖe me be, “Midzudzɔ nu vɔ̃ wɔwɔ ne miatrɔ ɖe Mawu ŋu, elabena dziƒofiaɖuƒe la gogo!”
From that time Jesus began to preach and to say: Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.
18 Gbe ɖeka esi Yesu nɔ tsa ɖim le Galilea ƒuta va yina la, ekpɔ nɔvi eve aɖewo. Woawoe nye Simɔn, si wogayɔna hã be Petro kple nɔvia Andrea. Wonɔ asabu dam, elabena ɖɔkplɔlawo wonye.
And as he was walking by the sea of Galilee, he saw two brothers, Simon who is called Peter, and Andrew his brother, throwing a net into the sea, for they were fishers.
19 Yesu yɔ wo gblɔ na wo be, “Miva dze yonyeme ne mawɔ mi amewo ɖelawo.”
And he said to them: Come after me, and I will make you fishers of men.
20 Petro kple nɔvia Andrea ɖe asi le asabu la ŋu enumake hekplɔ Yesu ɖo.
And they immediately left their nets and followed him.
21 Esi wogazɔ yi ŋgɔ vie ko la, Yesu kpɔ nɔviŋutsu eve siwo ŋkɔwoe nye, Yakobo kple Yohanes kple wo fofo Zebedeo le ʋu me wonɔ woƒe ɖɔ vuvuwo sam. Yesu yɔ nɔviŋutsu eveawo hã be woava dze ye yome.
And going on thence, he saw other two brothers, James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother, in the ship with Zebedee their father, mending their nets; and he called them.
22 Yakobo kple Yohanes gblẽ ʋu la kple wo fofo ɖi hedze Yesu yome enumake.
And they immediately left the ship and their father, and followed him.
23 Yesu tsa le Galilea nutowo katã me nɔ nu fiam le Yudatɔwo ƒe ƒuƒoƒewo, eye afi sia afi si wòyi ko la, eɖea gbeƒã fiaɖuƒe la ƒe nyanyui la. Hekpe ɖe esia ŋu la, eda gbe le dɔ ƒomevi vovovo lélawo ŋu le dukɔ la me.
And Jesus went about all Galilee, teaching in their synagogues, and preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and curing every disease, and every kind of sickness among the people.
24 Nukunu gã geɖe siwo wɔm wònɔ la kaka ɖe teƒewo katã va se ɖe keke Galilea ƒe mlɔenu ke. Ale dɔnɔwo tso kekeke Siria ke hã tɔ ɖɔɖɔɖɔ va egbɔ be wòada gbe le yewo ŋu. Eyɔ dɔ dɔ ɖe sia ɖe lélawo, eɖanye lãmevee, tsukuku, lãmetutu, kpeŋui, gbɔgbɔ vɔ̃ nɔ ame me o, eda dɔ siawo katã.
And his fame went abroad into all Syria. And they brought to him all that were sick, those who were afflicted with various diseases and pains, and those who were possessed with demons, and lunatics, and paralytics; and he cured them.
25 Ameha gã aɖe ŋutɔ dze eyome, eye afi sia afi si wòto ko la, wonɔ eyome kplikplikpli. Ame siawo tso Galilea nuto me, Yerusalem, Dekapoli kple Yudea godoo, ɖewo gɔ̃ hã tso keke Yɔdan tɔsisi la ƒe go evelia dzi ke.
And many multitudes followed him from Galilee, and Decapolis, and Jerusalem, and Judea, and from beyond the Jordan.
