< Matye 4 >

1 Apre sa, Lespri Bondye pouse Jezi ale nan dezè a pou Satan te ka tante l'.
Then Jesus was led up to the wilderness by the Spirit, to be tempted by the Devil,
2 Jezi pase karant jou ak karant nwit san manje. Apre sa, li vin grangou.
and having fasted forty days and forty nights, afterward He hungered.
3 Lè sa a, Satan pwoche bò kote l' pou sonde l'. Li di l' konsa: Si ou se Pitit Bondye, bay wòch sa yo lòd pou yo tounen pen.
And the tempting [one], having come to Him, said, “If You are the Son of God—speak that these stones may become loaves.”
4 Jezi reponn li: Men sa ki ekri: Moun pa kapab viv ak manje ase. Yo bezwen tout pawòl ki soti nan bouch Bondye tou.
But He answering said, “It has been written: Man does not live on bread alone, but on every word coming forth from the mouth of God.”
5 Apre sa, grandyab la mennen l' lavil Jerizalèm. Li mete l' kanpe sou pwent fetay tanp lan.
Then the Devil takes Him to the [holy] city, and sets Him on the pinnacle of the temple,
6 Li di Jezi konsa: Si ou se Pitit Bondye, lage kò ou anba. Paske, men sa ki ekri: Bondye va bay zanj li yo lòd pou yo veye sou ou. y'a pote ou nan men yo, pou ou pa kase zòtèy pye ou sou okenn wòch.
and says to Him, “If You are the Son of God—cast Yourself down, for it has been written that, His messengers He will charge concerning you, and on hands they will bear you up, that you may not dash your foot on a stone.”
7 Jezi reponn li: Men sa ki ekri tou: Ou pa dwe seye sonde Mèt la, Bondye ou.
Jesus said to him again, “It has been written: You will not tempt the LORD your God.”
8 Satan mennen Jezi ankò sou yon mòn ki byen wo. Li moutre l' tout peyi ki sou latè ansanm ak tout riches yo.
Again the Devil takes Him to a very high mountain, and shows to Him all the kingdoms of the world and their glory,
9 Li di l' konsa: M'ap ba ou tout bagay sa yo, si ou mete ou ajenou devan m' pou ou adore m'.
and says to Him, “All these I will give to You, if falling down You may worship me.”
10 Jezi reponn li: Wete kò ou sou mwen, Satan. Paske, men sa ki ekri: Se Mèt la, Bondye ou, pou ou adore, se li menm sèl pou ou sèvi.
Then Jesus says to him, “Go—Satan, for it has been written: You will worship the LORD your God, and Him only will you serve.”
11 Fwa sa a, grandyab la kite l'. Latou, kèk zanj Bondye pwoche bò kote Jezi, yo sèvi l'.
Then the Devil leaves Him, and behold, messengers came and were ministering to Him.
12 Lè Jezi tande yo te mete Jan Batis nan prizon, li wete kò l', li ale nan peyi Galile.
And Jesus, having heard that John was delivered up, withdrew to Galilee,
13 Li kite lavil Nazarèt, li ale rete nan yon vil yo rele Kapènawòm, ki te toupre lanmè Galile a, sou tè moun Zabilon ak moun Neftali yo.
and having left Nazareth, having come, He dwelt at Capernaum that is by the sea, in the borders of Zebulun and Naphtali,
14 Konsa, pawòl pwofèt Ezayi te di a rive vre:
that it might be fulfilled that was spoken through Isaiah the prophet, saying,
15 Peyi Zabilon ak peyi Neftali ki sou wout pou ale bò lanmè a, peyi ki lòt bò larivyè Jouden an, peyi Galile kote moun lòt nasyon yo ap viv la,
“Land of Zebulun and land of Naphtali, way of the sea, beyond the Jordan, Galilee of the nations!
16 pèp ki t'ap viv nan fènwa a wè yon gwo limyè. Limyè a klere pou moun ki t'ap viv nan peyi ki anba lonbraj lanmò a.
The people that is sitting in darkness saw a great light, and to those sitting in a region and shadow of death—light arose to them.”
17 Depi lè sa a, Jezi kòmanse ap mache bay mesaj li a. Li t'ap di: Tounen vin jwenn Bondye. Paske, Bondye ki wa nan syèl la ap vin pran pouvwa a nan men li.
From that time Jesus began to proclaim and to say, “Convert, for the kingdom of the heavens has come near.”
18 Antan Jezi t'ap mache bò lanmè Galile a, li wè de frè: Simon, yo rele Pyè a, ak Andre, frè li. Yo t'ap voye privye nan lanmè a, paske se pechè pwason yo te ye.
And Jesus, walking by the Sea of Galilee, saw two brothers, Simon named Peter and his brother Andrew, casting a drag into the sea—for they were fishers—
19 Jezi di yo konsa: vin jwenn mwen, m'a fè nou tounen pechè moun pito.
and He says to them, “Come after Me, and I will make you fishers of men,”
20 Lamenm, yo kite privye yo, y' ale avèk li.
and they, immediately, having left the nets, followed Him.
21 Jezi vanse pi lwen, li wè de lòt frè, Jak avèk Jan, pitit Zebede yo. Yo te chita nan kannòt yo ansanm ak papa yo, yo t'ap repare privye yo. Jezi rele yo.
And having advanced from there, He saw two other brothers, James of Zebedee, and his brother John, in the boat with their father Zebedee, refitting their nets, and He called them,
22 Lamenm, yo kite kannòt la ansanm ak papa yo, y' ale avèk li.
and they, immediately, having left the boat and their father, followed Him.
23 Jezi t'ap mache toupatou nan peyi Galile a. Li t'ap moutre moun yo anpil bagay nan sinagòg yo. Li t'ap anonse Bon Nouvèl peyi kote Bondye wa a. Li t'ap geri tout kalite maladi ak tout kalite enfimite pèp la te ka genyen.
And Jesus was going in all of Galilee teaching in their synagogues, and proclaiming the good news of the kingdom, and healing every disease and every sickness among the people,
24 Toupatou nan peyi Siri a, se tout moun ki t'ap nonmen non li. Se sa ki fè yo te mennen tout kalite moun malad ba li, ansanm ak tout moun ki soufri doulè, moun ki te gen move lespri sou yo, moun ki soufri malkadi ak moun ki paralize. Jezi geri yo tout.
and His fame went forth to all Syria, and they brought to Him all the ill having manifold oppressing diseases and torments—and demoniacs, and lunatics, and paralytics—and He healed them.
25 Yon bann moun t'ap swiv li. Yo te soti toupatou: te gen moun Galile, moun Dis Vil yo, moun lavil Jerizalèm, moun Jide ak moun nan peyi lòt bò larivyè Jouden an.
And there followed Him many multitudes from Galilee, and Decapolis, and Jerusalem, and Judea, and beyond the Jordan.
