Mathaio 4
1 Mme Jesu a gogelwa ke Mowa o o Boitshepo kwa sekakeng, go ya go lekwa ke Satane.
Then Jesus was led up by the Spirit into the wilderness to be tested by the devil.
2 Ka malatsi a le masome a mane le masigo a le masome mane o na a sa je sepe, mme a tshwarwa ke tlala.
And having fasted forty days and forty nights, afterward He was hungry.
3 Mme Satane a mo leka gore a fetole maje senkgwe. Mme a re, go tlaa supa fa o le Morwa Modimo.
And coming to Him the tempter said, “Since you are the Son of God, command that these stones become loaves of bread.”
4 Mme Jesu a mo raya a re, “Nnyaa! gonne dikwalo tsa re senkgwe ga se ka ke sa otla mewa ya batho: se re se tlhokang ke go reetsa lefoko lengwe le lengwe la Modimo.”
But in answer He said, “It is written: ‘Man shall not live on bread alone, but by every word coming out of God's mouth.’”
5 Mme Satane a mo tsaya a mo isa setlhoeng sa Tempele mo Jerusalema.
Then the devil takes Him into the holy city and sets Him upon the pinnacle of the temple,
6 A mo raya a re, “Itige o itshupe fa o le Morwa Modimo; ka dikwalo tsa re, ‘Modimo o tlaa roma baengele ba One go go agelela gore o seka wa golafala,’ ba tlaa go agelela mo go sugagakaneng mo matlapeng a a kwa tlase.”
and says to Him, “Since you are the Son of God, throw yourself down; for it is written: ‘He will give orders to His angels about you, and they will lift you up on their hands, lest you strike your foot against a stone.’”
7 Jesu a mo araba ka kgakalo a re, “Gape gatwe ‘o se ka wa leka Morena Modimo ka teko ya boeleele.’”
Jesus said to him, “It is also written: ‘You shall not test the Lord your God!’”
8 Mme Satane a mo tsaya a mo isa setlhoeng sa thaba e e goletseng kwa godimo thata mme a mo kaela dichaba tsa lefatshe le kgalalelo yotlhe ya tsone.
Again the devil takes Him to a very high mountain and shows Him all the kingdoms of the world and their glory.
9 A mo raya a re, “Ke tlaa go fa mo gotlhe fa o ka khubama wa nkobamela.”
And he says to Him, “All these things I will give to you, if You will fall down and worship me.”
10 Mme Jesu a mo raya a re, “Tloga fa Satane. Dikwalo tsa re, ‘obamela Morena Modimo a le nosi. Reetsa ene fela.’”
Then Jesus says to him: “Get behind me, Satan! For it is written: ‘You shall worship the Lord your God, and Him only shall you serve.’”
11 Mme Satane a mo tlogela mme baengele ba tla go mo direla.
Then the devil leaves Him, and then, angels came and began ministering to Him.
12 Mme e rile fa Jesu a utlwa gore Johane o tshwerwe, a tswa mo Judea a boela gae kwa Nasaretha mo Galalea; Mme ka bofefo a fetela kwa Kaperanama fa thoko ga Lecha la Galalea gautshwane le Sebulona le Nafetali.
Now hearing that John had been put in prison, Jesus departed into Galilee.
And leaving Natsareth behind, He went and took up residence in Capernaum by the sea, in the regions of Zebulun and Naphtali;
14 Mo ga diragatsa seporofeso sa ga Isaia se se reng
so that what was spoken through Isaiah the prophet should be fulfilled, namely:
15 “Lefatshe la Sebulona le lefatshe la ga Nafetali fa thoko ga Lecha, le moseja ga noka ya Jorodane, le kwa godimo ga Galalea kwa go tletseng Badichaba,
“Land of Zebulun and land of Naphtali, way of the sea, beyond the Jordan, Galilee of the nations!
16 teng koo batho ba ba neng ba le mo lefifing, ba bonye lesedi le legolo; ba ne ba ntse mo lefatshing la loso, mme lesedi la ba tlhabela.”
The people sitting in darkness saw a great light, and upon those sitting in the place and shadow of death light has dawned.”
17 Go simolola foo, Jesu a simolola go ruta a re, “Sokologang mo sebing lo sokologele mo Modimong gonne Bogosi jwa Legodimo bo, atametse.”
From then on Jesus began to preach and to say, “Repent, for the kingdom of the heavens has come near.”
18 Mme ya re ka letsatsi lengwe a tsamaya mo motlhabeng wa lotshitshi lwa Lecha la Galalea, a bona banna ba le babedi, bana ba motho, ebong Simone yo o bidiwang Petere le Anderea, ba le mo mokorong ba tshwara ditlhapi ka lotloa ka e ne e le batshwari le barekisi ba ditlhapi.
And walking by the Sea of Galilee He saw two brothers, Simon (the one called Peter) and Andrew his brother, casting a circular net into the sea (for they were fishermen).
19 Mme Jesu a ba bitsa a re, “Ntshalang morago mme ke tlaa lo ruta ka fa lo ka tshwarang ka teng mewa ya batho.”
And He says to them, “Follow me and I will make you fishers of men.”
20 Mme ba akofa ba tlogela matloa a bone ba tsamaya nae.
So leaving the nets immediately they followed Him.
21 Ya re kgakalanyana mo motlhabeng wa lotshitshi, a bona bana ba motho ba bangwe gape ba le babedi, ebong Jakobe le Johane ba ntse mo mokorong le Sebede rraabo, ba roka matloa a bone; mme le bone a ba bitsa.
And going on from there He saw two other brothers, James (the one of Zebedee) and John his brother, in the boat with Zebedee their father, mending their nets. And He called them.
22 Mme ba akofa ba emisa tiro ya bone ba tsamaya nae, ba tlogela rraabo.
So leaving the boat and their father immediately they followed Him.
23 Jesu a tsamaya mo tikologong yotlhe ya Galalea a ruta mo dikerekeng tsa Bajuta a rera Mafoko a a Molemo kaga Bogosi jwa Legodimo. A fodisa mofuta mongwe le mongwe wa khidiego le malwetse.
Jesus went about all Galilee, teaching in their synagogues and proclaiming the Gospel of the Kingdom, and healing every disease and every illness among the people.
24 Pego ya dikgakgamatso tsa gagwe ya anama go feta melelwane ya Galalea mo e leng gore batho ba ba neng ba lwalela kgakala kwa Siria, ba ne ba tla kwa go ene go fodisiwa. A e ka ne e ne e le bolwetse bofe le setlhabi, kgotsa ba tsenywe ke badimo, kgotsa botsenwa, kgotsa teteselo, o ne a ba fodisa.
So His fame went throughout all Syria; and they brought to Him all who were sick—suffering with various diseases and torments, and being demonized and being moonstruck, and paralytics—and He healed them.
25 Bontsintsi jo bogolo jwa batho jwa mo sala morago gongwe le gongwe kwa a yang gone. Batho ba ne ba tswa Galalea le mo metseng e e some le Jerusalema, le gongwe le gongwe mo Judea le kwa moseja ga Noka ya Jorodane.
So large crowds followed Him—from Galilee and Decapolis and Jerusalem and Judea and beyond the Jordan.
