Mateo 4
1 Eyi akyi no, Honhom Kronkron faa Yesu kɔɔ sare so sɛ ɔbonsam nkɔsɔ no nhwɛ.
Then was Jesus led up by the Spirit into the wilderness, to be tempted by the Devil.
2 Saa bere no mu, Yesu dii mmuada adaduanan; awia ne anadwo. Eyi maa ɔkɔm dee no.
And when he had tasted forty days and forty nights, he was afterward hungry.
3 Ɔbonsam baa Yesu nkyɛn bɛka kyerɛɛ no se, “Sɛ wone Onyankopɔn Ba no a, ka na saa abo yi nnan aduan.”
And the tempter came and said to him, If thou art the Son of God, command that these stones become loaves of 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 answered and said, It is written, “Man shall not live on bread alone, but on every word that proceedeth from the mouth of God.”
5 Afei ɔbonsam de Yesu kɔɔ Yerusalem de no kogyinaa asɔredan a ɛwɔ hɔ no atifi pɛɛ,
Then the Devil taketh him into the holy city, and setteth him on the pinnacle of the temple;
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.’”
and saith to him, If thou art the Son of God, cast thyself down; for it is written, “He will give his angels charge concerning thee; and in their hands they will bear thee up, that thou mayst not dash thy foot against a stone.”
7 Yesu buaa bio se, “Wɔakyerɛw se, ‘Nsɔ Awurade wo Nyankopɔn nhwɛ.’”
Jesus said to him, Again it is written, “Thou shalt not make trial of the Lord thy God.”
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 Devil taketh him m an exceeding high mountain, and showeth him all the kingdoms of the world, and their glory;
9 Afei ɔka kyerɛɛ Yesu se, “Sɛ wobɛkotow asom me a, mede nea wuhu yi nyinaa bɛma wo.”
and said to him, All these things will I give thee, if thou wilt fall down and worship me.
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 saith Jesus to him, Be gone, Satan! for it is written, “Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve.”
11 Yesu ano sii no, ɔbonsam gyaw no hɔ kɔe. Ɛno akyi no abɔfo baa Yesu nkyɛn bɛsom no.
Then the Devil leaveth him; and lo! angels came and ministered to him.
12 Yesu tee sɛ wɔakyere Yohane no, ɔkɔɔ Galilea.
Now when Jesus heard that John had been cast into prison, he withdrew into 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 leaving Nazara, he came and dwelt in Capernaum, on the shore of the lake, in the borders of Zebulun and Naphtali;
14 Eyi maa nea Odiyifo Yesaia kae no baa mu sɛ,
that it might be fulfilled which was spoken through Isaiah the prophet, saying,
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 lake beyond the 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 that sat in darkness, saw a great light; and upon those who sat in the region and shadow of death, light arose.”
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 began to preach, and to say, Repent; for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.
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 while walking by the lake of Galilee, he saw two brothers, Simon called Peter, and Andrew his brother, casting a net into the lake; for they were fishers.
19 Yesu ka kyerɛɛ wɔn se, “Mummedi mʼakyi na mɛsoma mo ama moakoyi nnipa kra.”
And he saith 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 they immediately left their nets, and followed 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 thence, 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 Ntɛm ara, wogyaw wɔn agya ne ɔkorow no hɔ kodii nʼakyi.
And they immediately left the boat and their father, and followed 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 he went round the whole of Galilee, teaching in their synagogues, and preaching the glad tidings of the kingdom, and healing every sickness and every 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 his fame went forth into all Syria; and they brought to him all that were sick, afflicted with various diseases and torments, and those who were possessed by demons, and lunatics, and those who were struck with palsy; and he healed them.
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 great multitudes followed him from Galilee and Decapolis and Jerusalem and Judaea, and from beyond the Jordan.
