SIL Open Translator’s Notes:

Section 4:1–11: The devil tempted Jesus

In this section, God allowed Satan to tempt Jesus so that Jesus could show that he always obeyed his Father. The children of Israel had failed to obey God during their forty years in the wilderness. But Jesus, as the Messiah, proved his obedience to God during his forty days of fasting and temptation in the wilderness. He “passed” this test and demonstrated that he truly was the “Son of God.”

Here are some other possible headings for this section:

The temptation of Jesus

The devil tried to make Jesus sin

Jesus was tempted by the devil

There is a parallel passage for this section in Luke 4:1–11, and a shorter version occurs in Mark 1:12–13.

4:2

After fasting forty days and forty nights, He was hungry.

After fasting forty days and forty nights: The word fasting means choosing not to eat food for a certain period of time. This is done for religious or spiritual reasons.

If fasting for religious reasons is not a familiar idea in your language, you can translate this word with a descriptive phrase. For example:

spending forty days and nights without food (GNT)

Jesus ate nothing for forty days and nights (NCV)

Jesus fasted the entire forty days. Matthew does not say whether or not Jesus drank anything during this time. In your translation, avoid using a word that makes drinking explicit.

He was hungry: Jesus did not eat for forty days, so he was hungrier than someone who had not eaten one or two meals. Jesus’ hunger was intense. In some languages, it may be more natural to make this fact explicit. For example:

he was very hungry (CEV)

he was famished (NET)

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

ἡμέρας τεσσεράκοντα καὶ νύκτας τεσσεράκοντα

days forty (Some words not found in SR-GNT: Καί νηστεύσας ἡμέρας τεσσεράκοντα καί νύκτας τεσσεράκοντα ὕστερον ἐπείνασεν)

The phrase 40 days and 40 nights refers to 40 consecutive periods of 24 hours. Matthew means that Jesus fasted for 40 full days. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a comparable expression. Alternate translation: [for 40 straight days]
