Matayo 4
1 Awo Yesu n’atwalibwa Mwoyo Mutukuvu mu ddungu okukemebwa Setaani.
Then Jesus was carried up into the wilderness by the Spirit to be tempted of the devil:
2 N’amala ennaku amakumi ana ng’asiiba, nga talya, emisana n’ekiro, oluvannyuma enjala n’emuluma.
and having fasted forty days and forty nights, afterwards he hungered.
3 Setaani n’ajja gy’ali n’amugamba nti, “Obanga oli Mwana wa Katonda, lagira amayinja gano gafuuke emmere.”
And the tempter coming up to him said, If thou be Son of God, speak, that these stones may become loaves of bread.
4 Naye Yesu n’amuddamu nti, “Kyawandiikibwa nti: ‘Omuntu tabeera mulamu na mmere yokka, wabula na buli kigambo ekiva mu kamwa ka Katonda.’”
But he answering said, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word which goes out through God's mouth.
5 Awo Setaani n’amutwala mu kibuga ekitukuvu n’amussa ku kitikkiro kya Yeekaalu.
Then the devil takes him to the holy city, and sets him upon the edge of the temple,
6 N’amugamba nti, “Obanga oli Mwana wa Katonda weesuule wansi kubanga kyawandiikibwa nti, ‘Katonda aliweereza bamalayika be bakuwanirire mu mikono gyabwe oleme okwekoona ekigere kyo ku jjinja.’”
and says to him, If thou be Son of God cast thyself down; for it is written, He shall give charge to his angels concerning thee, and on [their] hands shall they bear thee, lest in anywise thou strike thy foot against a stone.
7 Yesu n’addamu Setaani nti, “Kyawandiikibwa nti, ‘Tokemanga Mukama Katonda wo.’”
Jesus said to him, It is again written, Thou shalt not tempt [the] Lord thy God.
8 Ate Setaani n’amutwala ku lusozi oluwanvu n’amulengeza ensi zonna n’obwakabaka bwamu n’ekitiibwa kyabwo kyonna,
Again the devil takes him to a very high mountain, and shews him all the kingdoms of the world, and their glory,
9 n’amugamba nti, “Bino byonna nnaabikuwa bw’onoovuunama n’onsinza.”
and says to him, All these things will I give thee if, falling down, thou wilt do me homage.
10 Yesu n’addamu nti, “Vvaawo, genda Setaani. Kyawandiikibwa nti, ‘Osinzanga Mukama Katonda wo yekka, era gw’oweerezanga.’”
Then says Jesus to him, Get thee away, Satan, for it is written, Thou shalt do homage to [the] Lord thy God, and him alone shalt thou serve.
11 Setaani n’amuviira n’agenda. Bamalayika ne bajja ne bamuweereza.
Then the devil leaves him, and behold, angels came and ministered to him.
12 Yesu bwe yawulira nga Yokaana bamusibye mu kkomera n’agenda e Ggaliraaya.
But having heard that John was delivered up, he departed into Galilee:
13 Bwe yava e Nazaaleesi n’agenda abeera e Kaperunawumu ekiri ku lubalama lw’ennyanja mu byalo by’e Zebbulooni n’e Nafutaali.
and having left Nazareth, he went and dwelt at Capernaum, which is on the sea-side in the borders of Zabulon and Nepthalim,
14 Kino ne kituukiriza ekyayogerwa nnabbi Isaaya ng’agamba nti,
that that might be fulfilled which was spoken through Esaias the prophet, saying,
15 “Ensi ya Zebbulooni n’ensi ya Nafutaali, okuliraana ennyanja, n’ebyalo ebiri emitala w’omugga Yoludaani, n’e Ggaliraaya ey’ekyengulu omuli bannaggwanga abangi,
Land of Zabulon and land of Nepthalim, way of [the] sea beyond the Jordan, Galilee of the nations:
16 abantu abaatuulanga mu kizikiza, balabye Omusana mungi. Abaatuulanga mu nsi ey’ekisiikirize eky’okufa, omusana gubaakidde.”
— the people sitting in darkness has seen a great light, and to those sitting in [the] country and shadow of death, to them has light sprung up.
17 Okuva mu kiseera ekyo Yesu n’atandika okubuulira nti, “Mwenenye, kubanga obwakabaka obw’omu ggulu busembedde.”
From that time began Jesus to preach and to say, Repent, for the kingdom of the heavens has drawn nigh.
18 Yesu bwe yali ng’atambula ku lubalama lw’ennyanja y’e Ggaliraaya n’alaba abooluganda babiri: Simooni, gwe bayita Peetero, ne Andereya, nga basuula obutimba bwabwe mu nnyanja, kubanga baali bavubi.
And walking by the sea of Galilee, he saw two brothers, Simon called Peter, and Andrew his brother, casting a net into the sea, for they were fishers;
19 Awo Yesu, n’abagamba nti, “Mujje mungoberere, nange ndibafuula abavubi b’abantu.”
and he says to them, Come after me, and I will make you fishers of men.
20 Amangwago ne baleka awo obutimba bwabwe, ne bamugoberera.
And they, having left their trawl-nets, immediately followed him.
21 Bwe yeeyongerayo katono, n’asanga abooluganda abalala babiri: Yakobo, ne Yokaana, nga batudde ne kitaabwe Zebbedaayo mu lyato nga baddaabiriza obutimba bwabwe, nabo n’abayita bamugoberere.
And going on thence he saw other two brothers, James the [son] of Zebedee and John his brother, in the ship with Zebedee their father, mending their trawl-nets, and he called them;
22 Amangwago, ne baleka awo kitaabwe mu lyato ne bagenda naye.
and they, having left the ship and their father, immediately followed him.
23 Yesu n’abuna wonna mu Ggaliraaya ng’ayigiriza mu makuŋŋaaniro g’Abayudaaya ng’abuulira Enjiri ey’obwakabaka obw’omu ggulu, era ng’awonya buli ndwadde yonna n’obuyongobevu bwonna mu bantu.
And [Jesus] went round the whole [of] Galilee, teaching in their synagogues, and preaching the glad tidings of the kingdom, and healing every disease and every bodily weakness among the people.
24 Amawulire ag’ebyamagero bye yakolanga ne gatuuka mu Siriya yonna. Ne bamuleetera abayongobevu, n’abalina ebibabonyaabonya, n’ab’ensimbu n’abo abaaliko baddayimooni, abakoozimbye n’ab’endwadde endala ezitali zimu, bonna n’abawonya.
And his fame went out into the whole [of] Syria, and they brought to him all that were ill, suffering under various diseases and pains, and those possessed by demons, and lunatics, and paralytics; and he healed them.
25 Ebibiina binene ne bimugoberera, abantu nga bava mu Ggaliraaya ne mu Dekapoli, ne mu Yerusaalemi ne mu Buyudaaya yonna, n’emitala w’omugga Yoludaani.
And great crowds followed him from Galilee, and Decapolis, and Jerusalem, and Judaea, and beyond the Jordan.
