< Mataayi 4 >

1 Pepano uYesu akalongosovua nu Mhepo uMwimike kuluta ku lihaka, kuuti aghelue nu Setano.
Then was Jesus led up of the spirit into the wilderness to be tempted of the devil.
2 Ukuo uYesu akavuhiila kulia mulwa kufuunya ifighono fijigho fine pakilo n a pamwisi. Pambel, e jikam'bava injala.
And when he had fasted forty days and forty nights, he was afterward an hungered.
3 Pe uSetano akamwisila kukumughela akati, “Nave uve uli Mwana ghwa Nguluve, ghavuule amavue agha ghahambuke ghaave makate.”
And when the tempter came to him, he said, If you be the Son of God, command that these stones be made bread.
4 uYesu akamuka akati, “Lilembilue mu Malembe aMimike kuuti, 'Ikyakulia kyene nakikum'biika umuunhu kuuva mwumi, looli iiva mwumi vwimila amasio ghooni ghano ijova Nguluve.'”
But he answered and said, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds out of the mouth of God.
5 Pe uSetano akantwala uYesu mu likaaja ilyimike ilya Yelusalemu. Akam'biika pakyanya fiijo apa nyumba inyimike ija kufunyila,
Then the devil takes him up into the holy city, and sets him on a pinnacle of the temple,
6 akam'buula akati, “Nave uve uli mwana ghwa Nguluve, ghujughuje paasi, ulwakuja mu avanyamhola vaake kulyuve vakwang'e mu mavoko ghaave kuuti aleke pighua pa livue na kulemela.””
And says to him, If you be the Son of God, cast yourself down: for it is written, He shall give his angels charge concerning you: and in their hands they shall bear you up, lest at any time you dash your foot against a stone.
7 uYesu akamwamula kange akati, “Mu Malembe aMwimike lilambilue kuuti, “Nungamughelaghe uMutwa, uNguluve ghwako.”
Jesus said to him, It is written again, You shall not tempt the Lord your God.
8 Kange uSetano akamtwala uYesu pakyanya pa kidunda ikitali, pe akansoona iisi sooni palikimo nu vuvaha vwake.
Again, the devil takes him up into an exceeding high mountain, and shows him all the kingdoms of the world, and the glory of them;
9 akam'buula akati, “Nave ghufughama na na kukunyimika une, nikukupeela ifi fyoni.”
And says to him, All these things will I give you, if you will fall down and worship me.
10 Pepano uYesu akati, “vuuka apa, Setano! Ulwakuva mu Malembe aMimike lilembile ndiiki, 'Umwimikaghe uMutwa, uNguluve Ghwako, kange um, bombelaghe jujuo mwene.'
Then says Jesus to him, Get you hence, Satan: for it is written, You shall worship the Lord your God, and him only shall you serve.
11 Pepano uSetano akamuleka uYesu. Nakalingi, avanyamhola va Nguluve vakiisa, vakantengelela.
Then the devil leaves him, and, behold, angels came and ministered to him.
12 Unsiki ghula uYohani uMwofughi alyadindilue mu ndinde. UYesu ye apuliike imhola ijuo akalutga ku Galilaya.
Now when Jesus had heard that John was cast into prison, he departed into Galilee;
13 Ukuo, akavuuka mu kikaaja ikya Nasaleti akaluta kukukala mu likaaja ilya Kapenaumu. Ilikaaja ilio lilyale mulubale mu lisube ilya Galilaya, imbale isa iisi ija Sabuloni ni ja Nafutali.
And leaving Nazareth, he came and dwelled in Capernaum, which is on the sea coast, in the borders of Zabulon and Nephthalim:
14 Uluo lulyavombiike kukwilanisia ilisio lino uMutwa alyajovile kukilila um'bili ghwake uYesaya kuuti,
That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Isaiah the prophet, saying,
15 Ilise ija Sabuloni ni ja Nafutali, mu sila jino jiluta ku sumbe, imambo ja kikohka ikya Yolidani, iisi ija Galilaya, kwe kuno vikukala avaanhu vano na Vayahudi.
The land of Zabulon, and the land of Nephthalim, by the way of the sea, beyond Jordan, Galilee of the Gentiles;
16 Avaanhu vala vano vikukakala mu ng'hiisi, valwaghile ulumuli uluvaha; voonpe vano vikukala mu ng'hiisi ija vufue, ulumuli luvamuliike.”
The people which sat in darkness saw great light; and to them which sat in the region and shadow of death light is sprung up.
17 Kuhuma unsiki ghula, uYesu akatengula kupulisia iiti, “Mulataghe inyivi siinu ulwakuva uvutwa uvwa kukyanya vuli piipi.”
From that time Jesus began to preach, and to say, Repent: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.
18 UYesu ye ighenda mulubale mu lisumbe ilya Galilaya, akavaagha avaanhu vavili vanamuunhu, juonga ghwe Simoni juno ilitavua ilingi akatambulwagha Peteli, nu Ndeleeya. Avaanhu ava valyale valovi, vakava nu nyaafu vilova isamaki mu lisumbe.
And Jesus, walking by the sea of Galilee, saw two brothers, Simon called Peter, and Andrew his brother, casting a net into the sea: for they were fishers.
19 UYesu akavavuula akati, Mumbingililaghe! Une nikuvaviika kuuva valovi va vaanhu.”
And he says to them, Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men.
20 Unsiki ghughuo vakasileka inyaafu saave, vakam'bingilila.
And they straightway left their nets, and followed him.
21 UYesu akaluta pavulongolo padebe, akavaagha avanamuunhu vavili uYakovo nu Yohani avakina Sebedaayi. Avuo, valyale mu ngalava palikimo nu viise uSebedaayi, vakava viling'hania inyaafu saave, voope akavakemeela.
And going on from there, he saw other two brothers, James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother, in a ship with Zebedee their father, mending their nets; and he called them.
22 Pala pala avanamuunhu vala vakamuleka uviise ni ngalava, vakam'bingilila uYesu.
And they immediately left the ship and their father, and followed him.
23 UYesu akava ighenda mu kighavo kyoni ikya Galilaya. Akava ikwingila mu masinagogi ghaave, ivulanisia na kupulisia iMhola iNofu ija vutwa vwaNguluve, kange akavasosyaghe avatamu inhamu saave sooni.
And Jesus went about all Galilee, teaching in their synagogues, and preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing all manner of sickness and all manner of disease among the people.
24 Imhola saake sikkakwila fiijo kuhanga kufika mu kighavo kyoni ikya Silia. Avaanhu pe vakavatwalagha avatamu vooni vano valyale ni nhumu sino silyale papinga. Mu avuo, mwevalyale vano valyale na mapepo amalamafu, na vanya kivafi na vanya liteela. UYesu akavasosyagha avuo vooni.
And his fame went throughout all Syria: and they brought to him all sick people that were taken with divers diseases and torments, and those which were possessed with devils, and those which were lunatic, and those that had the palsy; and he healed them.
25 Amapugha agha vaanhu kuhuma ku Galilaya, ku Dekapoli, ku Yelusalemu, ku Yudea ni mwambo ija kikogha ikya Yolidani ghakava ghikum'bili.
And there followed him great multitudes of people from Galilee, and from Decapolis, and from Jerusalem, and from Judaea, and from beyond Jordan.
