Mateo 4
1 Esia megbe la, Gbɔgbɔ Kɔkɔe la kplɔ Yesu yi gbedzii be Abosam natee kpɔ.
Then Jesus was led by the Spirit into the desert, in order 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 for forty days and forty nights, afterwards he was 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 approaching, the tempter said to him, “If you are the Son of God, tell these stones to 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.’”
And in response he said, “It has been written: ‘Not by bread alone shall man live, but by every word that proceeds 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 up, into the holy city, and set 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, cast yourself down. For it has been written: ‘For he has given charge of you to his angels, and they shall take you into their hands, lest perhaps you may hurt 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, “Again, it has been written: ‘You shall not tempt the Lord your God.’”
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 up, onto a very high mountain, and showed him all the kingdoms of the world and their glory,
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 I will give to you, if you will fall down and adore 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: “Go away, Satan. For it has been written: ‘You shall adore 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 approached 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,
And when Jesus had heard that John had been handed over, 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 behind the city of Nazareth, he went and lived in Capernaum, near the sea, at the borders of Zebulun and of Naphtali,
14 Yesu ƒe afi sia vava wu nya si Nyagblɔɖila Yesaya gblɔ da ɖi la nu be,
in order to fulfill what was said through the prophet Isaiah:
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,
“Land of Zebulun and land of Naphtali, the way of the sea across 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.”
A people who were sitting in darkness have seen a great light. And unto those sitting in the region of the shadow of death, a 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 has drawn near.”
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 Jesus, walking near the Sea of Galilee, saw two brothers, Simon who is called Peter, and his brother Andrew, casting a net into the sea (for they were fishermen).
19 Yesu yɔ wo gblɔ na wo be, “Miva dze yonyeme ne mawɔ mi amewo ɖelawo.”
And he said to them: “Follow 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 at once, leaving behind their nets, they 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 continuing on from there, he saw another two brothers, James of Zebedee, and his brother John, in a ship with their father Zebedee, repairing their nets. And he called them.
22 Yakobo kple Yohanes gblẽ ʋu la kple wo fofo ɖi hedze Yesu yome enumake.
And immediately, leaving their nets and their father behind, they 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 traveled throughout all of Galilee, teaching in their synagogues, and preaching the Gospel of the kingdom, and healing every sickness and every infirmity 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 reports of him went out to all of Syria, and they brought to him all those who had maladies, those who were in the grasp of various sicknesses and torments, and those who were in the hold of demons, and the mentally ill, 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 a great crowd followed him from Galilee, and from the Ten Cities, and from Jerusalem, and from Judea, and from across the Jordan.
