Matayo 4
1 Molimo amemaki Yesu kati na esobe mpo ete Satana ameka Ye.
Then was Jesus led by the Holy Spirit into the desert, to be tempted by the Calumniator
2 Sima na Ye kokila bilei mikolo tuku minei mpe babutu tuku minei, ayokaki nzala.
And he fasted forty days and forty nights, and afterward he 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 the Tempter came, and said to him: If thou art the Son of God, command 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 he replied, and said: It is written, that not by bread only, doth man live; but by every word proceeding from the mouth of God.
5 Bongo, Satana amemaki Ye na engumba ya bule, atelemisaki Ye na songe ya Tempelo
Then the Calumniator took him to the holy city, and set 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 said to him: If thou art the Son of God, cast thyself down: for it is written, that he will give his angels charge of thee, and in their hands will they sustain thee, lest thou strike thy foot against a stone.
7 Yesu azongiselaki ye: — Ekomama mpe: « Okomeka te Yawe, Nzambe na yo. »
Jesus said to him: It is moreover written, that thou shalt not tempt 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 Calumniator took him to a mountain that was very high, 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.
and said to him: All these 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 Jesus said to him: Begone, Satan; for it is written, that 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 Calumniator left him: and lo, angels came, and ministered to him.
12 Tango Yesu ayokaki ete babwaki Yoane Mobatisi kati na boloko, azongaki na Galile.
And when Jesus had heard that John was delivered up, he retired 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,
And he left Nazareth, and came and dwelt in Capernaum, by the side of the sea, on the confines of Zebulon and Naphthali.
14 mpo na kokokisa maloba oyo mosakoli Ezayi alobaki:
That so might be fulfilled that which was spoken by Isaiah the prophet, who said:
15 « Mokili ya Zabuloni mpe ya Nefitali, nzela ya ebale monene, pembeni ya Yordani, Galile ya bapagano,
The land of Zebulon, the land of Naphthali, the way of the sea, the ford of 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, have seen great light; and to them who sat in the region and shadow of death, light is arisen.
17 Wuta na tango wana, Yesu abandaki koteya: « Bobongola mitema na bino, pamba te Bokonzi ya Likolo ekomi pene! »
From that time began Jesus to proclaim and say: Repent; for the kingdom of heaven hath 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 as he walked on the shore of the sea of Galilee, he saw two brothers, Simon called Cephas, and Andrew his brother, who were casting nets into the sea; for they were fishermen.
19 Yesu alobaki na bango: « Bolanda Ngai, mpe nakokomisa bino balobi bato. »
And Jesus said to them: Follow me; and I will cause you to become fishers of men.
20 Mbala moko, batikaki minyama na bango mpe balandaki Yesu.
And immediately, they left their nets, and went after 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 as he passed on from there, he saw two other brothers, James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother, in a ship with Zebedee their father, who were mending their nets. And Jesus 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 went after 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 traveled over all Galilee. and he taught in their synagogues and proclaimed the tidings of the kingdom; and he cured every disease and malady 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 spread through all Syria. And they brought to him all them that were very sick with diverse diseases, and them that were afflicted with pains, and demoniacs, and lunatics and paralytics; 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 from Galilee, and from the Ten Cities, and from Jerusalem, and from Judaea, and from beyond the Jordan.
