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.
After fasting forty days and forty nights, 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.
The tempter came to Him and said, “If You are the Son of God, tell these stones to become bread.”
4 Yesu azongisaki: — Ekomama: « Moto akobika na lipa kaka te, kasi mpe na maloba nyonso oyo ebimaka na monoko ya Nzambe. »
But Jesus answered, “It is written: ‘Man shall not live on bread alone, but on every word that comes from the mouth of God.’”
5 Bongo, Satana amemaki Ye na engumba ya bule, atelemisaki Ye na songe ya Tempelo
Then the devil took Him to the holy city and set 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. »
“If You are the Son of God,” he said, “throw Yourself down. For it is written: ‘He will command His angels concerning You, and they will lift You up in their hands, so that You will not strike Your foot against a stone.’”
7 Yesu azongiselaki ye: — Ekomama mpe: « Okomeka te Yawe, Nzambe na yo. »
Jesus replied, “It is also written: ‘Do not put the Lord your God to the test.’”
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 took Him to a very high mountain and showed Him all the kingdoms of the world and their glory.
9 alobaki na Ye: — Nakopesa yo nyonso oyo ozali komona, soki kaka ofukameli ngai mpe ogumbameli ngai.
“All this I will give You,” he said, “if You will fall down and worship me.”
10 Yesu alobaki na ye: — Mosika na ngai, Satana! Pamba te ekomama: « Okogumbamelaka kaka Yawe, Nzambe na yo, mpe okosambelaka kaka Ye. »
“Away from Me, Satan!” Jesus declared. “For it is written: ‘Worship the Lord your God and serve Him only.’”
11 Boye Satana atikaki Ye, mpe ba-anjelu bayaki kopesa Ye bilei.
Then the devil left Him, and angels came and ministered to Him.
12 Tango Yesu ayokaki ete babwaki Yoane Mobatisi kati na boloko, azongaki na Galile.
When Jesus heard that John had been imprisoned, He withdrew to 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,
Leaving Nazareth, He went and lived in Capernaum, which is by the sea in the region of Zebulun and Naphtali,
14 mpo na kokokisa maloba oyo mosakoli Ezayi alobaki:
to fulfill what was spoken through the prophet Isaiah:
15 « Mokili ya Zabuloni mpe ya Nefitali, nzela ya ebale monene, pembeni ya Yordani, Galile ya bapagano,
“Land of Zebulun and land of Naphtali, the 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 living in darkness have seen a great light; on those living in the land of the shadow of death, a light has dawned.”
17 Wuta na tango wana, Yesu abandaki koteya: « Bobongola mitema na bino, pamba te Bokonzi ya Likolo ekomi pene! »
From that time on Jesus began to preach, “Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is near.”
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.
As Jesus was walking beside the Sea of Galilee, He saw two brothers, Simon called Peter and his brother Andrew. They were casting a net into the sea, for they were fishermen.
19 Yesu alobaki na bango: « Bolanda Ngai, mpe nakokomisa bino balobi bato. »
“Come, follow Me,” Jesus said, “and I will make you fishers of men.”
20 Mbala moko, batikaki minyama na bango mpe balandaki Yesu.
And at once they left their nets and 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;
Going on from there, He saw two other brothers, James son of Zebedee and his brother John. They were in a boat with their father Zebedee, mending their nets. Jesus called them,
22 mpe, mbala moko, batikaki bwato mpe tata na bango, bongo balandaki Yesu.
and immediately they left the boat and their father and 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.
Jesus went throughout Galilee, teaching in their synagogues, preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing every disease and sickness 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.
News about Him spread all over Syria, and people brought to Him all who were ill with various diseases, those suffering acute pain, the demon-possessed, those having seizures, and the 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.
The large crowds that followed Him came from Galilee, the Decapolis, Jerusalem, Judea, and beyond the Jordan.
