4 Patsogolo pace, Jezu adatsogoleredwa na mzimu ucimuyendesa ku dambo kuti akayezedwe na Dyabu. 2 Pambuyo pakusaya kudya kwa ntsiku 40 usiku na masikati, iye adabva njala. 3 Ndipo Nyakuyezayo adamufenderera acimuuza kuti: “Penu iwepo ndiwedi mwana wa Mulungu, sandusa minyalayi kuti ikhale pau.” 4 Tsono iye adamutawira kuti: “Bzidanembedwa kuti: ‘Munthu ambakhala lini na moyo na cakudya cokha, koma na mafala yentse yakucokera mkamwa mwa Yahova.’”
5 Patsogolo pace, Dyabu adamutenga aciyenda naye mu mzinda wakucena ndipo adakamuimisa padzaulu* pa mpanda wa templo, 6 acimuuza kuti: “Penu iwepo ndiwedi mwana wa Mulungu, bzithusire pantsi, pakuti bzidanembedwa kuti: ‘Iye an’dzatumiza anjo wace kuti adzakukhotcerere kuti minyendo yako ileke kumenya pa mwala.’” 7 Jezu adamutawira kuti: “Bzidanembedwa pomwe kuti: ‘Leka kuyeza Yahova Mulungu wako.’”
8 Dyabu adamutenga pomwe aciyenda naye pa phiri litali kwene-kwene ndipo adamulatiza maumambo yentse ya pa dziko la pantsi na mphanvu zawo zentse. 9 Ndipo adamuuza kuti: “Nin’kupasa bzinthu bzentsenebzi ukandigodamira na kundinamata kabodzi kokha.” 10 Tsono Jezu adamuuza kuti: “Coka Sathani! Pakuti bzidanembedwa kuti: ‘Yahova Mulungu wako, ndiye omwe un’funika kumunamata, ndipo ndiye yekha omwe un’funika kumutumikira.’” 11 Na tenepo, Dyabuyo adamusiya, ndipo anjo adabwera aciyamba kumutumikira.
12 Pomwe Jezu adabva kuti Juwau wamangidwa, iye adabwerera ku Galileya. 13 Ndipo pomwe adacoka ku Nazareti, iye adakakhala ku Kafarnau m’mphepete mwa nyanza, m’midzi ya Zebuloni na Nafitali, 14 kuti yakwanisike mafala yomwe yakhadalewedweratu na mpolofeta Zaiya yakuti: 15 “Imwe wanthu wa m’madziko ya Zebuloni na Nafitali omwe mumbakhala m’mphepete mwa mseu wakuyenda ku nyanza, wa ng’ambu inango ya Jordano na alendo wakukhala ku Galileya! 16 Wanthu omwe akhakhala mu mdima, awona ceza cikulu, ndipo wale omwe akhakhala mu dziko la mdima wa infa, ceza cawabvunikira.” 17 Kuyambira nthawe imweyo, Jezu adayamba kupalizira acimbati: “Kungulani, pakuti Umambo bwa kudzulu bwafendera.”
18 Pomwe akhafamba m’mphepete mwa nyanza ya Galileya, iye adawona Simau omwe ambacemeredwambo kuti Pedru na m’bale wace Andereya akuthusa bwazi bwawo m’nyanza, pakuti iwo akhali akhombwe. 19 Ndipo iye adawauza kuti: “Nditewereni, ndipo ine ninkucitisani kukhala akhombwe wa wanthu.” 20 Pa nthawe imweyoletu, iwo adasiya bwazi bwawobo acimutewera. 21 Pomwe adafamba pang’ono, iye adawona Tiyago na m’bale wace Juwau, wana wa Zebedeu. Iwo akhakonza bwazi bwawo pabodzi na pai wawo Zebedeu m’mwadiya, ndipo iye adawacemera. 22 Pa nthawe imweyoletu, iwo adasiya mwadiyayo na pai wawoyo, acimutewera.
