Matayo 4
1 Molimo amemaki Yesu kati na esobe mpo ete Satana ameka Ye.
Then Jesus was led by the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted by the devil.
2 Sima na Ye kokila bilei mikolo tuku minei mpe babutu tuku minei, ayokaki nzala.
And having fasted forty days and forty nights, afterward he was hungry.
3 Momeki ayaki epai na Ye mpe alobaki na Ye: — Soki ya solo ozali penza Mwana na Nzambe, loba na mabanga oyo ete ebongwana mapa.
And after he who tempts came, he said to him, If thou are the Son of God, speak so that these stones may become bread.
4 Yesu azongisaki: — Ekomama: « Moto akobika na lipa kaka te, kasi mpe na maloba nyonso oyo ebimaka na monoko ya Nzambe. »
But having answered, he said, It is written, Man will not live on bread alone, but on every word coming out through the mouth of God.
5 Bongo, Satana amemaki Ye na engumba ya bule, atelemisaki Ye na songe ya Tempelo
Then the devil takes him into the holy city, and stands him on the pinnacle of the temple.
6 mpe alobaki na Ye: — Soki ozali penza Mwana na Nzambe, mibwaka na se; pamba te ekomama: « Akopesa mitindo na ba-anjelu na tina na yo, mpe bakomema yo na maboko na bango mpo ete lokolo na yo etutana na libanga te. »
And he says to him, If thou are the Son of God, cast thyself down, for it is written, He will command his agents about thee, and, They will take thee up in their hands, lest thou dash thy foot against a stone.
7 Yesu azongiselaki ye: — Ekomama mpe: « Okomeka te Yawe, Nzambe na yo. »
Jesus said to him, Again it is written, Thou shall not challenge the Lord thy God.
8 Satana amemaki Ye lisusu na likolo ya ngomba oyo eleki molayi mpe alakisaki Ye bokonzi nyonso ya mokili elongo na lokumu na yango;
Again, the devil takes him onto an exceedingly high mountain, and shows him all the kingdoms of the world, and the glory of them.
9 alobaki na Ye: — Nakopesa yo nyonso oyo ozali komona, soki kaka ofukameli ngai mpe ogumbameli ngai.
And he says to him, All these things I give thee, if after falling down, thou will worship me.
10 Yesu alobaki na ye: — Mosika na ngai, Satana! Pamba te ekomama: « Okogumbamelaka kaka Yawe, Nzambe na yo, mpe okosambelaka kaka Ye. »
Then Jesus says to him, Get thee behind me, Satan, for it is written, Thou shall worship the Lord thy God, and him only thou shall serve.
11 Boye Satana atikaki Ye, mpe ba-anjelu bayaki kopesa Ye bilei.
Then the devil leaves him, and behold, agents came and served him.
12 Tango Yesu ayokaki ete babwaki Yoane Mobatisi kati na boloko, azongaki na Galile.
Now when Jesus heard that John was delivered up, he departed into Galilee.
13 Kasi avandaki na Nazareti te; akendeki nde kovanda na Kapernawumi oyo ezalaki pembeni ya ebale, kati na etuka ya Zabuloni mpe ya Nefitali,
And having left Nazareth behind, after coming, he dwelt in Capernaum by the sea in the regions of Zebulun and Naphtali,
14 mpo na kokokisa maloba oyo mosakoli Ezayi alobaki:
so that what was spoken through Isaiah the prophet might be fulfilled, which says,
15 « Mokili ya Zabuloni mpe ya Nefitali, nzela ya ebale monene, pembeni ya Yordani, Galile ya bapagano,
The land of Zebulun and the land of Naphtali, way of the sea, beyond the Jordan, Galilee of the Gentiles,
16 bato oyo bazalaki kovanda kati na molili bamoni pole makasi; ba-oyo bazalaki kovanda kati na mokili ya bakufi, pole ebimeli bango. »
the people who dwell in darkness saw a great light, and to those who dwell in the region and shadow of death, light sprang up to them.
17 Wuta na tango wana, Yesu abandaki koteya: « Bobongola mitema na bino, pamba te Bokonzi ya Likolo ekomi pene! »
From that time Jesus began to preach, and to say, Repent ye, for the kingdom of the heavens has approached.
18 Wana Yesu azalaki kotambola pembeni ya ebale ya Galile, amonaki bandeko mibali mibale: Simona oyo bazalaki kobenga Petelo, mpe Andre, ndeko na ye; bazalaki kobwaka monyama na ebale, pamba te bazalaki balobi mbisi.
And walking by the sea of Galilee, he saw two brothers, Simon who is called Peter, and Andrew his brother, casting a net into the sea, for they were fishermen.
19 Yesu alobaki na bango: « Bolanda Ngai, mpe nakokomisa bino balobi bato. »
And he says to them, Come behind me, and I will make you fishermen of men.
20 Mbala moko, batikaki minyama na bango mpe balandaki Yesu.
And straightaway having left the nets, they followed him.
21 Tango alongwaki wana mpo na kokoba mobembo na Ye, amonaki lisusu bandeko mibali mibale: Jake, mwana mobali ya Zebede, mpe Yoane, ndeko na ye. Bazalaki kobongisa minyama kati na bwato na bango elongo na Zebede, tata na bango. Yesu abengaki bango;
And having gone on from there he saw two other brothers, James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother, in the boat with Zebedee their father, mending their nets. And he called them.
22 mpe, mbala moko, batikaki bwato mpe tata na bango, bongo balandaki Yesu.
And straightaway having left the boat and their father, they followed him.
23 Wana Yesu azalaki kotambola kati na Galile mobimba, azalaki koteya kati na bandako na bango ya mayangani, kosakola Sango Malamu ya Bokonzi ya Likolo, kobikisa bato na pasi mpe na bokono na bango nyonso.
And Jesus went around all Galilee, teaching in their synagogues, and preaching the good news of the kingdom, and healing every sickness and every disease among the people.
24 Sango na Ye epanzanaki kati na Siri mobimba, mpe bato bazalaki komemela Ye babeli oyo bazalaki na bokono ya ndenge na ndenge mpe oyo bazalaki na mikakatano makasi: bato oyo bazalaki na se ya bokonzi ya milimo mabe, bato oyo bazalaki na bokono ya ndeke mpe bato oyo bazalaki na makolo mpe maboko ya kokufa; mpe azalaki kobikisa bango.
And his fame went forth into all Syria. And they brought to him all those faring badly with various diseases, and gripped with pain, and being demon-possessed, and being lunatic, and paralyzed. And he healed them.
25 Ebele ya bato bazalaki kolanda Ye; bazalaki kowuta na Galile, na Dekapoli, na Yelusalemi, na Yuda mpe na etuka mobimba ya ngambo ya Yordani.
And many multitudes from Galilee and Decapolis and Jerusalem and Judea and beyond the Jordan followed him.
