Matthew 4 (TGJ)

1Vbvrikunamv Dowv Jisunyi chukrimooku lo okv ninyia Uyu am pokayarka modukubv vnggvto.Then Jesus was led by the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted by the devil.

2Alu champi gula okv ayu champigo dvmabv dooro koching so, Jisu kano toku.After fasting forty days and forty nights, He was hungry.

3Vbvrikunamv Uyu ninyi gvlo aala minto, “No Pwknvyarnv gv Kuunyilo ngvbolo, so vlwng vdw sum vtwngbv ridubv mintoka.”The tempter came to Him and said, “If You are the Son of God, tell these stones to become bread.”

4Vbvritola Jisu mirwksito, “Darwknv Kitaplo mindu, ‘Nyi si vtwng lokv mwng turma dunv, vbvritola Pwknvyarnv gv minam gaam mvnwngnga dinchi dunv.’”But Jesus answered, “It is written: ‘Man shall not live on bread alone, but on every word that comes from the mouth of God.’”

5Vbvrikunamv Uyu ngv Jisunyi Jerusalem bv vnggv toku, Darwknv Pamtv lo, ninyia Pwknvyarnvnaam aoyachoknv mwnglo aolo dakmuto,Then the devil took Him to the holy city and set Him on the pinnacle of the temple.

6okv ninyia minto, “No Pwknvyarnv gv Kuunyilo ngvbolo, atubongv sokv poklu kaatoka, vkvlvgavbolo Darwknv Kitaplo mindu, ‘Pwknvyarnv no gvbv ninyigv nyidogindung nga orto jire; bunu nam bunugv laak lo dvvbwngre, vkvlvgavbolo noogv lvchu nga achidubv vlwng aolo mvmu madubv.’”“If You are the Son of God,” he said, “throw Yourself down. For it is written: ‘He will command His angels concerning You, and they will lift You up in their hands, so that You will not strike Your foot against a stone.’”

7Jisu mirwksito, “Vbvritola Darwknv Kitaplo vbv mintadu, ‘Noogv Pwknvyarnvnyi no rikwripak mabvka.’”Jesus replied, “It is also written: ‘Do not put the Lord your God to the test.’”

8Vbvrikunamv Uyu hv Jisunyi vnggv laila moodw aoyachok kolo chaagv toku okv ninyia nyiamooku gv achialvbv kainv karv vdwa kaatam toku.Again, the devil took Him to a very high mountain and showed Him all the kingdoms of the world and their glory.

9Uyu v minto, “No nga gublwk dvla kumbojobo lo, nam ngo so gv kaagv dvnam mvnwng sum jire.”“All this I will give You,” he said, “if You will fall down and worship me.”

10Vbvrikunamv Jisu mirwk toku, “Uyu! No vngroto, Darwknv Kitaplo mindu, “Noogv Pwknvyarnv nyimwng kumlajolaka okv Ninyigv lvgabv rimwng laka!’”“Away from Me, Satan!” Jesus told him. “For it is written: ‘Worship the Lord your God and serve Him only.’”

11Vbvrikunamv Uyu ngv Jisunyi vngyu toku; okv nyidogindung ngv aala Jisunyi ridur toku.Then the devil left Him, and angels came and ministered to Him.

12Jonnyi patwk lwknama vdwlo Jisu tvvpa pvkudw, nw Galili bv vngyu toku.When Jesus heard that John had been imprisoned, He withdrew to Galilee.

13Nw Najaret lo dooku mato, vbvritola Jibulun gvla Naptali mooku gv Svpar adar lo doonv banggu, Kaparnaum lo doodubv vngtoku.Leaving Nazareth, He went and lived in Capernaum, which is by the sea in the region of Zebulun and Naphtali,

14Svbvrinam si nyijwk Aijaya gv minpv nama jvjvbv rilin modukubv ritoku,to fulfill what was spoken through the prophet Isaiah:

15“Jebulun gv Kvdw okv Naptali gv kvdw, lamtv ngv svmasa lo inv, Jordan Svko gv takdv gonvlo, Galili, Jentail vdwgv kvdw!“Land of Zebulun and land of Naphtali, the Way of the Sea, beyond the Jordan, Galilee of the Gentiles—

16Kanv arwnglo doonv nyi vdwv, kairungnv Loung go kaapare. Sinv vdwgv kanv mooku lo doonv vdwgvlo loung ngv ungjire.”the people living in darkness have seen a great light; on those living in the land of the shadow of death, a light has dawned.”

17Vbvriri lokv Jisu ninyigv doina japrap toku: “Nonuno rimur lokv mvngdin tokuka ogulvgavbolo Nyidomooku gv Karv ngv nvchi duku!”From that time on Jesus began to preach, “Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is near.”

18Jisu Galili gv Svpar gv adar lo vngkar rilo, achiboru sinyi go aminv Saimon (Pitar vnam) okv ninyigv boru Andriu vsap lokv svpar lo ngui naadung dubv kaapato.As Jesus was walking beside the Sea of Galilee, He saw two brothers, Simon called Peter and his brother Andrew. They were casting a net into the sea, for they were fishermen.

19Jisu bunua minto, “Nga vngming gvlaka, okv ngo nonua nyi naadubv tamsarre.”“Come, follow Me,” Jesus said, “and I will make you fishers of men.”

20Vjakgobv bunu vsap a kayupila ninyia lvkobv vngming gvtoku.And at once they left their nets and followed Him.

21Nw vngdavngra la kvvbi achiboru sigodv kaapato, Jibedi gv kuunyilo Jon nyila Jemsnyi. Bunu svpw lo vsap a mvgemvrap sila doonyato. Jisu bunua gokto,Going on from there, He saw two other brothers, James son of Zebedee and his brother John. They were in a boat with their father Zebedee, mending their nets. Jesus called them,

22okv bunu vjakgobv svpwa okv bunugv abua kayupila ninyia lvkobv vngming gvtoku.and immediately they left the boat and their father and followed Him.

23Jisu Galili gv mooku mvnwng lo vnggo karto, Jius kumku-naam lo tamsarla, Nyidomooku gv Karv gv lvkwng nga japgola, nvgwngnv achiapikla lvvmanv nyi vdwa mvpujila ritoku.Jesus went throughout Galilee, teaching in their synagogues, preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing every disease and sickness among the people.

24Jisu gv vbvrinam gv yunying ngv Sairia gv mooku mvnwnglo dusik kartoku, vkvlvgabv nyi vdwv nyi nvgwngnv achiapik nvnga, okv suru nvnga, nyi uyuvram gvnv nga, okv svmik tabnv nga, okv digwng nvnga, ninyi gvlo aagv nyatoku, okv nw bunu mvnwngnga mvpu jitoku.News about Him spread all over Syria, and people brought to Him all who were ill with various diseases, those suffering acute pain, the demon-possessed, those having seizures, and the paralyzed, and He healed them.

25Nyi nyipam twngtv nvgo ninyia vngming gvto, hv bunu Galili lokv, okv Dekapolis lokv, Jerusalem, Judia, Jordan Svko gv takdv gonv lokv.Large crowds followed Him, having come from Galilee, the Decapolis, Jerusalem, Judea, and beyond the Jordan.
