Mateu 4
1 Lyahanu Jesu ca kashiwa ku luhuho lu jolola kuya mwi halaupa ku ku likiwa kwa Jabulusi.
Then Jesus was led up into the wilderness by the Spirit to be tempted by the devil.
2 Halinyima zilyo mazuva ena makumi one ni masiku ena makumi one, ca fwa inzala.
And, after he had fasted for forty days and forty nights, he became hungry.
3 Muliki neza kuwamba kwali, “Haiva u mwana we Ireza, u laele aa mabwe a sanduke zilyo”
The Tempter came to him, and said: “If you are God’s Son, tell these stones to become loaves of bread.”
4 Mi Jesu ne tava cati kwali, “ku ñoletwe, 'Muntu kete na hale ca zilyo vulyo, kono ni ca liinzwi li zwa mukaholo ka Ireza'”
But Jesus answered, “Scripture says – ‘It is not on bread alone that a person is to live, but on every word that comes from the mouth of God.’”
5 Linu Javulisi ca mu hinda kumu twala he wulu lwa muzako ujolola uva ketiwa we nkereke mulelele,
Then the devil took him to the Holy City, and, placing him on the parapet of the temple, said to him,
6 Ni ku mu wamvila kuti, “Haiva njewe u mwana wa Ireza, uwile hansi kakuli ku ñoletwe, ka laele mañeloi akwe mu aku vavalele, mu aku nyamune mu mayanza nji kuti itende lyako kanji li gunkiwa ibwe
“If you are God’s Son, throw yourself down, for scripture says – ‘He will give his angels commands about you, and on their hands they will lift you up, so you do not even strike your foot against a stone.’”
7 Jesu nati kwali, “Hape u ñoletwe, Kanji u liki infumwako Ireza.
“Scripture also says,” answered Jesus, “‘You must not tempt the Lord your God.’”
8 “Hape Javulusi na mu hinda kumu twala he lundu lilumbite, ni kumu tondeza mileneñi ina munkanda yonse ni nkanya yayo.
The third time, the devil took Jesus to a very high mountain, and, showing him all the kingdoms of the world and their splendor, said to him:
9 Nati kwali, “Zonse izi zintu kani zikuhe, ci wa wila hansi ca mazwi. uni fukamine uni lapele”
“All these I will give you, if you will fall at my feet and worship me.”
10 Linu Jesu ca muta, “U zwe aha Javulusi! kakuli ku ñoletwe, “U fukamine Ireza i nfumwako, imi u seveleze iye yeke”
Then Jesus said to him, “Go away, Satan! For scripture says – ‘You must worship the Lord your God, and worship him only.’”
11 Javulusi ca musiya; mi mañeloi ci eza kwa Jesu, ci a mu seveleza.
Then the devil left him alone, and angels came and helped him.
12 Haho linu Jesu ca zuwa kuti Joani avva suminwa, na vola kwa Galilea;
When Jesus heard that John had been arrested, he returned to Galilee.
13 Ca kuula kwa Nazareta ku ka zaka kwa Kapenauma, i wanika kumbali ni wate lya Galilea, mu cilalo ca Zevuloni ni Nafitali.
Afterward, leaving Nazareth, he went and settled at Capernaum, which is by the side of the sea, within the borders of Zebulun and Naphtali;
14 Izi ziva pangahali kwi zuziliza ci polofita ca Isaya ha vati,
in fulfillment of these words in the prophet Isaiah –
15 “Inkanda ya Zavuloni ni nkanda ya Nafitali i vambene ni wate, mwi shilwa lwa Jodani, Galilea ya vantu vasena vavezi Ireza;
‘The land of Zebulun and the land of Naphtali, the land of the Road by the sea, and beyond the Jordan, with Galilee of the Gentiles –
16 Vantu va vena mwififi, va va voni iseli ikando; linu va vena munkanda yefu ni mumu nzunde walyo, vava ñaatwilwa iseli”
The people who were living in darkness have seen a great light, and, for those who were living in the shadow-land of death, a light has dawned!’
17 Kuzwa iyo nako Jesu na tanga ku kutaza nati, “Mu vake, mukuti mubuso wa kwiwulu ci wina hafuhi”
At that time Jesus began to proclaim – “Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.”
18 Havali kwa vwenda ku mbali ye wate lwa Galilea, ca vona vakwame vovele vana va muntu yenke, Simone yo sumpwa Pitolosi, ni Andriyasi mwancakwe, ci va sohela tunyandi twavo mwi wate, kakuli vavali vandui.
As Jesus was walking along the shore of the Sea of Galilee, he saw two brothers – Simon, also known as Peter, and his brother Andrew – casting a net into the sea; for they were fishermen.
19 Jesu cati ku vali, “mwize, municilile, imi muni mi pange vayamvi va vantu”
“Come and follow me,” Jesus said, “and I will teach you to fish for people.”
20 Haho niva siya tunyandi twavo, kumwi cilila.
The two men left their nets at once and followed him.
21 Jesu hvvali kwa vu yenda vulyo ca vona vovele vamwi, Jakovo mwana wa Zebediya, ni Joani mwancakwe, va vena mu cisepe ni Zevediya ishavo, ni va onga tunyandi twavo. ca va sumpa;
Going further on, he saw two other men who were also brothers, James, Zebedee’s son, and his brother John, in their boat with their father, mending their nets. Jesus called them,
22 Haho civa siya cisepe ni shavo, kumwi cilila.
and they at once left their boat and their father, and followed him.
23 Jesu na yenda mwa Galilea yonse, na ka ruta vantu mumasinagoge avo, nava wambila ivangeli ya muvuso, na hoza matuku onse ni vuhole vonse vuvena ku vantu.
Jesus went all through Galilee, teaching in their synagogues, proclaiming the good news of the kingdom, and curing every kind of disease and every kind of sickness among the people;
24 Intava zakwe ci za ka zuweka kwa Siriya yonse; ni kwa letwa kwali valwala vonse malwalo a cincana cincana, ni va katazehete, ni va vena inhuho imbi, ni vava li ku liwa kuzuminina, ni vava li ku zuminina luñañali; Jesu ca va hoza.
and his fame spread all through Syria. They brought to him all who were ill with any form of disease, or who were suffering pain – any who were either possessed by demons, or were lunatic, or paralyzed; and he cured them.
25 Vungi vwavo vu a kuzwa kwa Galilea, ni kwa Dekapolisi, ni kwa Jelusalema, ni kwa Judeya, ni mwishilwa lya Joludani, ci vwa mwi cilila.
He was followed by large crowds from Galilee, the district of the Ten Towns, Jerusalem, Judea, and from beyond the Jordan.
