Evangelium secundum Matthaeum, 4

1. Tunc Iesus ductus est in de sertum a Spiritu, ut tentaretur a Diabolo.

1. Then Jesus was led up by the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted by the devil.

2. Et cum ieiunasset quadraginta diebus et quadraginta noctibus, postea esuriit.

2. And he fasted forty days and forty nights, and afterward he was hungry.

3. Et accedens tentator dixit ei: “Si Filius Dei es, dic, ut lapides isti panes fiant”.

3. And the tempter came and said to him, "If you are the Son of God, command these stones to become loaves of bread."

4. Qui respondens dixit: “Scriptum est: "Non in pane solo vivet homo, sed in omni verbo, quod procedit de ore Dei"”.

4. But he answered, "It is written, `Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God.'"

5. Tunc assumit eum Diabolus in sanctam civitatem et statuit eum supra pinnaculum templi

5. Then the devil took him to the holy city, and set him on the pinnacle of the temple,

6. et dicit ei: “Si Filius Dei es, mitte te deorsum. Scriptum est enim: "Angelis suis mandabit de te, et in manibus tollent te, ne forte offendas ad lapidem pedem tuum"”.

6. and said to him, "If you are the Son of God, throw yourself down; for it is written, `He will give his angels charge of you,' and `On their hands they will bear you up, lest you strike your foot against a stone.'"

7. Ait illi Iesus: “Rursum scriptum est: "Non tentabis Dominum Deum tuum"”.

7. Jesus said to him, "Again it is written, `You shall not tempt the Lord your God.'"

8. Iterum assumit eum Diabolus in montem excelsum valde et ostendit ei omnia regna mundi et gloriam eorum

8. Again, the devil took him to a very high mountain, and showed him all the kingdoms of the world and the glory of them;

9. et dicit illi: “Haec tibi omnia dabo, si cadens adoraveris me”.

9. and he said to him, "All these I will give you, if you will fall down and worship me."

10. Tunc dicit ei Iesus: “Vade, Satanas! Scriptum est enim: "Dominum Deum tuum adorabis et illi soli servies"”.

10. Then Jesus said to him, "Begone, Satan! for it is written, `You shall worship the Lord your God and him only shall you serve.'"

11. Tunc reliquit eum Diabolus, et ecce angeli accesserunt et ministrabant ei.

11. Then the devil left him, and behold, angels came and ministered to him.

12. Cum autem audisset quod Ioannes traditus esset, secessit in Galilaeam.

12. Now when he heard that John had been arrested, he withdrew into Galilee;

13. Et relicta Nazareth, venit et habitavit in Capharnaum maritimam

13. and leaving Nazareth he went and dwelt in Caper'na-um by the sea, in the territory of Zeb'ulun and Naph'tali,

14. in finibus Zabulon et Nephthali, ut impleretur, quod dictum est per Isaiam prophetam dicentem:

14. that what was spoken by the prophet Isaiah might be fulfilled:

15. “Terra Zabulon et terra Nephthali, ad viam maris, trans Iordanem, Galilaea gentium;

15. "The land of Zeb'ulun and the land of Naph'tali, toward the sea, across the Jordan, Galilee of the Gentiles --

16. populus, qui sedebat in tenebris, lucem vidit magnam, et sedentibus in regione et umbra mortis lux orta est eis”.

16. the people who sat in darkness have seen a great light, and for those who sat in the region and shadow of death light has dawned."

17. Exinde coepit Iesus praedicare et dicere: “Paenitentiam agite; appropinquavit enim regnum caelorum”.

17. From that time Jesus began to preach, saying, "Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand."

18. Ambulans autem iuxta mare Galilaeae, vidit duos fratres, Simonem, qui vocatur Petrus, et Andream fratrem eius, mittentes rete in mare; erant enim piscatores.

18. As he walked by the Sea of Galilee, he saw two brothers, Simon who is called Peter and Andrew his brother, casting a net into the sea; for they were fishermen.

19. Et ait illis: “Venite post me, et faciam vos piscatores hominum”.

19. And he said to them, "Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men."

20. At illi continuo, relictis retibus, secuti sunt eum.

20. Immediately they left their nets and followed him.

21. Et procedens inde vidit alios duos fratres, Iacobum Zebedaei et Ioannem fratrem eius, in navi cum Zebedaeo patre eorum reficientes retia sua; et vocavit eos.

21. And going on from there he saw two other brothers, James the son of Zeb'edee and John his brother, in the boat with Zeb'edee their father, mending their nets, and he called them.

22. Illi autem statim, relicta navi et patre suo, secuti sunt eum.

22. Immediately they left the boat and their father, and followed him.

23. Et circumibat Iesus totam Galilaeam, docens in synagogis eorum et praedicans evangelium regni et sanans omnem languorem et omnem infirmitatem in populo.

23. And he went about all Galilee, teaching in their synagogues and preaching the gospel of the kingdom and healing every disease and every infirmity among the people.

24. Et abiit opinio eius in totam Syriam; et obtulerunt ei omnes male habentes, variis languoribus et tormentis comprehensos, et qui daemonia habebant, et lunaticos et paralyticos, et curavit eos.

24. So his fame spread throughout all Syria, and they brought him all the sick, those afflicted with various diseases and pains, demoniacs, epileptics, and paralytics, and he healed them.

25. Et secutae sunt eum turbae multae de Galilaea et Decapoli et Hierosolymis et Iudaea et de trans Iordanem.

25. And great crowds followed him from Galilee and the Decap'olis and Jerusalem and Judea and from beyond the Jordan.
