4 Ngemva kwalokho ummoya kaZimu wanqophisa uJesu emmangweni, bona ayokulingwa+ nguDeveli.+ 2 Kuthe sekazile ukudla amalanga ama-40, walamba khulu. 3 UDeveli+ waya kuye wathi: “Nangabe uyindodana kaZimu, tjela amatje la abe burotho.” 4 Kodwana waphendula wathi: “Kutloliwe ukuthi: ‘Umuntu akaphili ngoburotho kwaphela kodwana nangawo woke amezwi aphuma emlonyeni kaJehova.’”*+

5 Ngokulandelako uDeveli wamusa edorobheni elicwengileko,+ wamjamisa esiqongolweni sethempeli+ 6 wathi kuye: “Nangabe uyindodana kaZimu, ziphose phasi, ngombana kutloliwe ukuthi: ‘Uzokuyala iingilozi zakhe,’ begodu ‘Zizokuthwala ngezandla zazo, bona inyawo lakho lingabetheki elitjeni.’”+ 7 UJesu wathi kuye: “Kutloliwe nokuthi: ‘Ungamlingi uJehova* uZimakho.’”+

8 Godu uDeveli wamusa entabeni ede khulu ngokurarako, wamtjengisa yoke imibuso yephasi nobukhazikhazi bayo.+ 9 Wathi kuye: “Ngizokunikela zoke izintwezi nawungakhothama ungilotjhe kanye kwaphela.” 10 UJesu wathi kuye: “Suka Sathana! Ngombana kutloliwe ukuthi: ‘Kufuze ulotjhe uJehova* uZimakho+ begodu nguye kwaphela okufuze umenzele umsebenzi ocwengileko.’”+

4 Nje-ke uJesu azele ummoya ocwengileko wasuka eJordani, ummoya kaZimu wamnqophisa emmangweni+ 2 amalanga ama-40, alingwa nguDeveli.+ Akhenge adle litho amalanga lawo woke, yeke kuthe nakaphelako, walamba khulu. 3 UDeveli nakabona lokhu wathi kuye: “Nangabe uyindodana kaZimu, tjela amatje la bona abe burotho.” 4 Kodwana uJesu wathi kuye: “Kutloliwe ukuthi, ‘Umuntu akukafuzi aphile ngoburotho kwaphela.’”+

5 Wamusa endaweni ephakamileko wamtjengisa yoke imibuso yephasi ngokuphazima kwelihlo.+ 6 UDeveli wathi kuye: “Ngizokunikela amandla phezu kwayo yoke imibuso le nephazimulwayo ngombana yoke imibuso le ngeyami+ begodu ngiyinikela nanyana ngubani engifuna ukumnikela yona. 7 Ngalokho nawungakhothama ungilotjhe kanye kwaphela, izaba ngeyakho yoke.” 8 UJesu nakaphendulako wathi kuye: “Kutloliwe ukuthi, ‘Kufuze ulotjhe uJehova* uZimakho begodu nguye kwaphela okufuze umenzele umsebenzi ocwengileko.’”+

9 Ngemva kwalokho wamusa eJerusalema, wamjamisa esiqongolweni sethempeli wathi kuye: “Nangabe uyindodana kaZimu, ziphose phasi+ 10 ngombana kutloliwe ukuthi, ‘Uzokuyala iingilozi zakhe bona zikuvikele’ 11 begodu, ‘Zizokuthwala ngezandla zazo, ukwenzela bona inyawo lakho lingabetheki elitjeni.’”+ 12 UJesu wathi kuye: “Kuthiwa, ‘Ungamlingi uJehova* uZimakho.’”+ 13 UDeveli nasele aqede ukumlinga, wamtjhiya, walindela elinye ithuba elifaneleko.+
