Matayo 4
1 Molimo amemaki Yesu kati na esobe mpo ete Satana ameka Ye.
Then was Jesus led up of the spirit (pneuma) into the wilderness to be tempted of the devil.
2 Sima na Ye kokila bilei mikolo tuku minei mpe babutu tuku minei, ayokaki nzala.
And when he had fasted forty days and forty nights, he was afterward an hungered.
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 when the tempter came to him, he said, If you be the Son of God, command that these stones be made bread.
4 Yesu azongisaki: — Ekomama: « Moto akobika na lipa kaka te, kasi mpe na maloba nyonso oyo ebimaka na monoko ya Nzambe. »
But he answered and said, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word (rhema) that proceeds out of the mouth of God.
5 Bongo, Satana amemaki Ye na engumba ya bule, atelemisaki Ye na songe ya Tempelo
Then the devil takes him up into the holy city, and sets him on a 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 says unto him, If you be the Son of God, cast yourself down: for it is written, He shall give his angels charge concerning you: and in their hands they shall bear you up, lest at any time you dash your foot against a stone.
7 Yesu azongiselaki ye: — Ekomama mpe: « Okomeka te Yawe, Nzambe na yo. »
Jesus said unto him, It is written again, You shall not tempt the Lord your 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 up into an exceeding 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 says unto him, All these things will I give you, 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. »
Then says Jesus unto him, Get you behind, Satan: for it is written, You shall worship the Lord your God, and him only shall you serve.
11 Boye Satana atikaki Ye, mpe ba-anjelu bayaki kopesa Ye bilei.
Then the devil left him, and, behold, angels came and ministered unto him.
12 Tango Yesu ayokaki ete babwaki Yoane Mobatisi kati na boloko, azongaki na Galile.
Now when Jesus had heard that John was cast into prison, 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 leaving Nazareth, he came and dwelt in Capernaum, which is upon the sea coast, in the borders of Zabulon and Nephthalim:
14 mpo na kokokisa maloba oyo mosakoli Ezayi alobaki:
That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Isaiah the prophet, saying,
15 « Mokili ya Zabuloni mpe ya Nefitali, nzela ya ebale monene, pembeni ya Yordani, Galile ya bapagano,
The land of Zabulon, and the land of Nephthalim, by the way of the sea, beyond 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 which sat in darkness saw great light; and to them which sat in the region and shadow of death light is sprung up.
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: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.
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 Jesus, walking by the sea of Galilee, saw two brethren, Simon called Peter, and Andrew his brother, casting a net into the sea: for they were fishers.
19 Yesu alobaki na bango: « Bolanda Ngai, mpe nakokomisa bino balobi bato. »
And he says unto them, Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men.
20 Mbala moko, batikaki minyama na bango mpe balandaki Yesu.
And they immediately 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;
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 mpe, mbala moko, batikaki bwato mpe tata na bango, bongo balandaki Yesu.
And they immediately left the ship 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.
And Jesus went about all Galilee, teaching in their synagogues, and preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing all manner of sickness and all manner of 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 throughout all Syria: and they brought unto him all sick people that were taken with divers diseases and torments, and those which were possessed with devils, and those which were lunatic, and those that had the palsy; 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 there followed him great multitudes of people from Galilee, and from Decapolis, and from Jerusalem, and from Judaea, and from beyond Jordan.
