< Matayo 4 >

1 Sunga u Yesu akatongeelwa nung'waung'welu akapika mumbuga ahume kugeng'wa nu mulugu.
Then Jesus was led by the spirit into the desert, to be tempted by the devil.
2 Pang'wanso ae wiimile kulya indya mahiku makumi anne utiku nu ng'ung'wi sunga akahungwa nzala.
And when he had fasted forty days and forty nights, afterwards he was hungry.
3 Mugemi akaza akamuila, “Angwe tai weng'wana wang'wi Tunda maile imagwe aya atule ndya.”
And the tempter coming said to him: If thou be the Son of God, command that these stones be made bread.
4 U Yesu akasukeelya akamuila, “Yandikilwe, u muntu singa uhumile kikie ni ndya du, uhumilye kikie nalukani nulupumie mumolomo wang'wi Tunda.”
Who answered and said: It is written, Not in bread alone doth man live, but in every word that proceedeth from the mouth of God.
5 Sunga umulugu akamutwala mukisali nikiza nukumuika pigulya a nyumba ang'wa Itunda.
Then the devil took him up into the holy city, and set him upon the pinnacle of the temple,
6 Akamuila, “ang'wi wing'wana wang'wi Tunda, puta pihi nsoko yaandikilye, ukuaila iamalaika akwe akuuke uleke kugwa, hangi akuuhumbula na mikono ao. Sunga shukukumpa umagulu wako pigwe.”
And said to him: If thou be the Son of God, cast thyself down, for it is written: That he hath given his angels charge over thee, and in their hands shall they bear thee up, lest perhaps thou dash thy foot against a stone.
7 U Yesu akaaila, “Hangi yandikilwe, leka kumgema Itunda wako.
Jesus said to him: It is written again: Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God.
8 Sunga umulugu akamuhola akamutwala migulya akamulagiila utemi wihi nugole akwe nuaunkumbigulu.
Again the devil took him up into a very high mountain, and shewed him all the kingdoms of the world, and the glory of them,
9 Akamuila, Kupa aya ihi agunihuele nukunkulya.”
And said to him: All these will I give thee, if falling down thou wilt adore me.
10 Sunga u Yesu akamuila hega apaite uwe mulugu, kunsoko yandikilwe, mkulye Itunda wako, hange umitumile imilimo ung'wenso du.
Then Jesus saith to him: Begone, Satan: for it is written, The Lord thy God shalt thou adore, and him only shalt thou serve.
11 Sunga umulugu akamuleka, iamalaika akaza akituma imilimo akwe.
Then the devil left him; and behold angels came and ministered to him.
12 Matungo u Yesu naiwija kina u Yohana waambwa, akahega akalongola ku Galilaya.
And when Jesus had heard that John was delivered up, he retired into Galilee:
13 Akahega ku Nazareti akenda akatula kikie Kaperanaumu, nikole mpelompelo aluzila Galilaya, mumimbe ni hii ang'wa Zabuloni nu Naftali.
And leaving the city Nazareth, he came and dwelt in Capharnaum on the sea coast, in the borders of Zabulon and Nephthalim;
14 Iye aigeelekile kukondanilya iko naikiligiligwe nu munyakidagu u Isaya.
That it might be fulfilled which was said by Isaias the prophet:
15 Kululo ihi ang'wa Zabuloni nihi ang'wa Naftali kulonga kuluzi, itumbi la Yorodani, Galilaya aanyakilungu!
Land of Zabulon and land of Nephthalim, the way of the sea beyond the Jordan, Galilee of the Gentiles:
16 Antu nikie mukiti auona uwelu nukulu, nao naikie mumululewa ushi, migulya ao alikilwa nung'waung'welu.”
The people that sat in darkness, hath seen great light: and to them that sat in the region of the shadow of death, light is sprung up.
17 Pumeela matungo yayo u Yesu akandya kutanantya ulukani akazelunga leki imilandu kunsoko utemi wa kigulu wahugeela.”
From that time Jesus began to preach, and to say: Do penance, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.
18 Naugenda mumpelompelo a luzi la Galilaya, akaaona anyandugu abiili, Simoni naiwitangwa Petro, nu Andrea muluna wakwe, ikazetega muluzi kunsoko aiavui a samaki.
And Jesus walking by the sea of Galilee, saw two brethren, Simon who is called Peter, and Andrew his brother, casting a net into the sea (for they were fishers).
19 U Yesu akaaila, nzii ntyati, kumupa uhumi mukivua iantu.
And he saith to them: Come ye after me, and I will make you to be fishers of men.
20 Sunga ikaleka inyavu ikamutyata.
And they immediately leaving their nets, followed him.
21 U Yesu naikile ulongolekile numuhinzo akaaona anyandugu abiili hangi, Yakobo ng'wana wang'wa Zebedayo, nu Yohana muluna wakwe. Aaze akoli mibina palung'wi nu Zebedayo utata wao akaze tumainyavu yao akaitanga,
And going on from thence, he saw other two brethren, James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother, in a ship with Zebedee their father, mending their nets: and he called them.
22 Shanga ekisinsela ikalileka ibine nu tata ao ikamutyata.
And they forthwith left their nets and father, and followed him.
23 U Yesu akagendeela i Galilaya ihi, akaze amanyisa mumapolyo ao, akazetanantya ulukani la utemi wa kigulu, hangi niantu akaza komya indwala.
And Jesus went about all Galilee, teaching in their synagogues, and preaching the gospel of the kingdom: and healing all manner of sickness and every infirmity, among the people.
24 Inkani yakwe ikenela Isiria ihi, niantu ikaaleta ihi iantu awa niilwala indwala ni makendi, niatile iamintunga, niagwa nkolo nawa niatite igandi. U Yesu akaakomya.
And his fame went throughout all Syria, and they presented to him all sick people that were taken with divers diseases and torments, and such as were possessed by devils, and lunatics, and those that had palsy, and he cured them:
25 Iumbi ikulu la antu likamtyata kupumiila ku Galilaya nuku Dekapoli, Yerusalemu nuku Uyahudi nukupuma kitumbi la Yorodani.
And much people followed him from Galilee, and from Decapolis, and from Jerusalem, and from Judea, and from beyond the Jordan.
