Mateo 4
1 Eyi akyi no, Honhom Kronkron faa Yesu kɔɔ sare so sɛ ɔbonsam nkɔsɔ no nhwɛ.
Then Jesus was sent by the Spirit into the waste land to be tested by the Evil One.
2 Saa bere no mu, Yesu dii mmuada adaduanan; awia ne anadwo. Eyi maa ɔkɔm dee no.
And after going without food for forty days and forty nights, he was in need of it.
3 Ɔbonsam baa Yesu nkyɛn bɛka kyerɛɛ no se, “Sɛ wone Onyankopɔn Ba no a, ka na saa abo yi nnan aduan.”
And the Evil One came and said to him, If you are the Son of God, give the word for these stones to become bread.
4 Yesu buaa no se, “Wɔakyerɛw se, ‘Ɛnyɛ aduan nko ara na ɛho hia onipa wɔ nʼasetena mu, na mmom asɛm biara a efi Awurade anom.’”
But he made answer and said, It is in the Writings, Bread is not man's only need, but every word which comes out of the mouth of God.
5 Afei ɔbonsam de Yesu kɔɔ Yerusalem de no kogyinaa asɔredan a ɛwɔ hɔ no atifi pɛɛ,
Then the Evil One took him to the holy town; and he put him on the highest point of the Temple and said to him,
6 na ɔka kyerɛɛ no se, “Sɛ wone Onyankopɔn Ba no ampa ara a, huruw fi nea wugyina hɔ si fam, efisɛ, wɔakyerɛw se, “‘Onyankopɔn bɛsoma nʼabɔfo abeso wo mu, wɔde wɔn nsa bɛma wo so, na wo nan ampem ɔbo.’”
If you are the Son of God, let yourself go down; for it is in the Writings, He will give his angels care over you; and, In their hands they will keep you up, so that your foot may not be crushed against a stone.
7 Yesu buaa bio se, “Wɔakyerɛw se, ‘Nsɔ Awurade wo Nyankopɔn nhwɛ.’”
Jesus said to him, Again it is in the Writings, You may not put the Lord your God to the test.
8 Eyi akyi no, ɔbonsam de Yesu kɔɔ bepɔw tenten bi apampam. Ɔde nʼani kari kyerɛɛ no wiase ahenni ahorow ne mu anuonyam nyinaa.
Again, the Evil One took him up to a very high mountain, and let him see all the kingdoms of the world and the glory of them;
9 Afei ɔka kyerɛɛ Yesu se, “Sɛ wobɛkotow asom me a, mede nea wuhu yi nyinaa bɛma wo.”
And he said to him, All these things will I give you, if you will go down on your face and give me worship.
10 Ɛhɔ ara na Yesu buae se, “Fi me so, Satan! Hu sɛ wɔakyerɛw se, ‘Kotow som Awurade, wo Nyankopɔn, na ɔno nko ara na som no.’”
Then said Jesus to him, Away, Satan: for it is in the Writings, Give worship to the Lord your God and be his servant only.
11 Yesu ano sii no, ɔbonsam gyaw no hɔ kɔe. Ɛno akyi no abɔfo baa Yesu nkyɛn bɛsom no.
Then the Evil One went away from him, and angels came and took care of him.
12 Yesu tee sɛ wɔakyere Yohane no, ɔkɔɔ Galilea.
Now when it came to his ears that John had been put in prison, he went away to Galilee;
13 Oduu Galilea no, wantena Nasaret, na mmom otwaa mu wɔ Nasaret hɔ kɔtenaa Kapernaum a ɛwɔ Galilea mpoano no, Sebulon ne Naftali ahye so.
And going away from Nazareth, he came and made his living-place in Capernaum, which is by the sea, in the country of Zebulun and Naphtali:
14 Eyi maa nea Odiyifo Yesaia kae no baa mu sɛ,
So that the word of the prophet Isaiah might come true,
15 “Sebulon asase ne Naftali asase, ɛpo kwan so, Yordan agya, Galilea a amanamanmufo te hɔ,
The land of Zebulun and the land of Naphtali, by the way of the sea, the other side of Jordan, Galilee of the Gentiles,
16 nnipa a wɔte sum mu no, Hann kɛse bi apue ama wɔn. Hann no apue ama wɔn a wɔte owu asase so.”
The people who were in the dark saw a great light, and to those in the land of the shade of death did the dawn come up.
17 Efi saa bere no, Yesu fii nʼasɛnka ase se, “Monsakra mo adwene, momfa mo ho mma Onyankopɔn na ɔsoro ahenni no abɛn.”
From that time Jesus went about preaching and saying, Let your hearts be turned from sin, for the kingdom of heaven is near.
18 Da bi a Yesu nam Galilea mpoano no, ohuu anuanom baanu bi a wɔn nyinaa yɛ apopofo sɛ wɔregu asau wɔ po no mu. Saa anuanom yi mu baako din de Simon a ne din foforo nso de Petro. Ɔbaako no nso din de Andrea.
And when he was walking by the sea of Galilee, he saw two brothers, Simon, whose other name was Peter, and Andrew, his brother, who were putting a net into the sea; for they were fishermen.
19 Yesu ka kyerɛɛ wɔn se, “Mummedi mʼakyi na mɛsoma mo ama moakoyi nnipa kra.”
And he said to them, Come after me, and I will make you fishers of men.
20 Ɛhɔ ara wogyaw wɔn asau no guu hɔ kodii nʼakyi ne no kɔe.
And straight away they let go the nets and went after him.
21 Ɔkɔɔ nʼanim kakra no, ohuu Sebedeo mma baanu a wɔfrɛ ɔbaako Yohane na ɔbaako nso din de Yakobo sɛ wɔne wɔn agya te ɔkorow mu repempam wɔn asau mu. Yesu frɛɛ wɔn nso se wommedi nʼakyi.
And going on from there he saw two other brothers, James, the son of Zebedee, and John, his brother, in the boat with their father, stitching up their nets; and he said, Come.
22 Ntɛm ara, wogyaw wɔn agya ne ɔkorow no hɔ kodii nʼakyi.
And they went straight from the boat and their father and came after him.
23 Yesu kyinkyinii Galileaman mu nyinaa kaa ahenni no ho asɛmpa wɔ Yudafo hyiadan mu. Ɔsaa nyarewa ahorow a wɔde baa nʼanim nyinaa nso.
And Jesus went about in all Galilee, teaching in their Synagogues and preaching the good news of the kingdom, and making well those who were ill with any disease among the people.
24 Yesu anwonwade a ɔyɛe yi trɛw koduu Siriaman mu nyinaa. Eyi ma wɔde wɔn a ahonhommɔne wɔ wɔn so, wɔn a wotwa, wɔn a wɔyare mmubui ne wɔn a nyarewa ahorow haw wɔn no nyinaa fi Siriaman mu brɛɛ no ma ɔsaa wɔn nyinaa yare.
And news of him went out through all Syria; and they took to him all who were ill with different diseases and pains, those having evil spirits and those who were off their heads, and those who had no power of moving. And he made them well.
25 Anwonwade a Yesu yɛɛ yi maa nnipakuw a wofi Galilea ne nkurow “Dekapoli” no mu ne Yerusalem ne Yordan agya tu dii nʼakyi.
And there went after him great numbers from Galilee and Decapolis and Jerusalem and Judaea and from the other side of Jordan.
