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 tempted 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 when he had fasted forty days and forty nights, he was hungry afterward.
3 Mme Satane a mo leka gore a fetole maje senkgwe. Mme a re, go tlaa supa fa o le Morwa Modimo.
And the tempter came and said to him, "If you are the Son of God, command that these stones become 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 he answered and said, "It is written, 'Humankind cannot live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds out of the mouth of God.'"
5 Mme Satane a mo tsaya a mo isa setlhoeng sa Tempele mo Jerusalema.
Then the devil took him into the holy city. He set him on 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 said to him, "If you are the Son of God, throw yourself down, for it is written, 'He will put his angels in charge of you.' and, 'In their hands they will lift you up, so that you will not 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, "Again, it is written, 'Do 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 took him to a very high mountain, and showed 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 said to him, "I will give you all of these things, 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 said to him, "Go away, Satan. For it is written, 'You are to worship the Lord your God, and serve him only.'"
11 Mme Satane a mo tlogela mme baengele ba tla go mo direla.
Then the devil left him, and look, angels came and served 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 when he heard that John was delivered up, he withdrew into Galilee.
And leaving Nazareth, he came and lived in Capernaum, which is by the sea, in the region of Zebulun and Naphtali,
14 Mo ga diragatsa seporofeso sa ga Isaia se se reng
that it might be fulfilled which was spoken through Isaiah the prophet, saying,
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,
"The land of Zebulun and the land of Naphtali, toward 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 have seen a great light, and those living in the land and shadow of death, on them a 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 that time on, Jesus began to preach and say, "Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is 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, who is called Peter, and Andrew, his brother, casting a 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 said to them, "Come, follow me, and I will make you fishers of people."
20 Mme ba akofa ba tlogela matloa a bone ba tsamaya nae.
And they immediately left their nets and 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.
Going on from there, 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 Mme ba akofa ba emisa tiro ya bone ba tsamaya nae, ba tlogela rraabo.
And they immediately left the boat and their father, and 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.
And Jesus went about in all Galilee, teaching in their synagogues, and preaching the Good News of the kingdom, and healing every disease and every sickness 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.
And the report about him went out into all Syria, and they brought to him all who were sick, afflicted with various diseases and torments, possessed with demons, and epileptics, 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.
And large crowds from Galilee, and Decapolis, and Jerusalem, and Judea, and from beyond the Jordan followed him.
