Matayo 4
1 Molimo amemaki Yesu kati na esobe mpo ete Satana ameka Ye.
Then was Jesus led up 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 when he had tasted forty days and forty nights, he was afterward 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 the tempter came and said to him, If thou art the Son of God, command that these stones become loaves of 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 on bread alone, but on every word that proceedeth from the mouth of God.”
5 Bongo, Satana amemaki Ye na engumba ya bule, atelemisaki Ye na songe ya Tempelo
Then the Devil taketh him into the holy city, and setteth 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 saith to him, If thou art the Son of God, cast thyself down; for it is written, “He will give his angels charge concerning thee; and in their hands they will bear thee up, that thou mayst not 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 shalt not make trial of 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 taketh him m an exceeding high mountain, and showeth 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.
and said to him, All these things will I give thee, if thou wilt 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 saith Jesus to him, Be gone, Satan! for it is written, “Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve.”
11 Boye Satana atikaki Ye, mpe ba-anjelu bayaki kopesa Ye bilei.
Then the Devil leaveth him; and lo! angels came and ministered to him.
12 Tango Yesu ayokaki ete babwaki Yoane Mobatisi kati na boloko, azongaki na Galile.
Now when Jesus heard that John had been cast into prison, he withdrew 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 Nazara, he came and dwelt in Capernaum, on the shore of the lake, in the borders of Zebulun and Naphtali;
14 mpo na kokokisa maloba oyo mosakoli Ezayi alobaki:
that it might be fulfilled which was spoken through Isaiah the prophet, saying,
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, by the way of the lake 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 that sat in darkness, saw a great light; and upon those who sat in the region and shadow of death, light arose.”
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 while walking by the lake of Galilee, he saw two brothers, Simon called Peter, and Andrew his brother, casting a net into the lake; for they were fishers.
19 Yesu alobaki na bango: « Bolanda Ngai, mpe nakokomisa bino balobi bato. »
And he saith to them, Come after 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 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 they immediately 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.
And he went round the whole of Galilee, teaching in their synagogues, and preaching the glad tidings 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 that were sick, afflicted with various diseases and torments, and those who were possessed by demons, and lunatics, and those who were struck with 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 great multitudes followed him from Galilee and Decapolis and Jerusalem and Judaea, and from beyond the Jordan.
