3Owo nnehm kehm-e tongo re, “A lꞌjol Mmon Esowo, tong eltal nia siingi ebred.”The devil said to Him, “If You are the Son of God, tell this stone to become bread.”

4Jisos kehm-e faange re, “Nwer Esowo bungu re, ‘Abred nya nya sang wahnge nne kpo kpin. Á kpo tob bel elkpin go ellum Esowo anehng anehng.’ ”But Jesus answered, “It is written: ‘Man shall not live on bread alone.’”

5Nnehm kehm-e rodo tahm a ne go nwahrewahre ewong, ko mmongare ana no nne bahke jehbe akpakamahr, tib-e ajahbe nya li go njini kpee,Then the devil led Him up to a high place and showed Him in an instant all the kingdoms of the world.

Tibre bobyake kpee kak-m go ebo, m bahke fere faake ka nne no kor-m no.“I will give You authority over all these kingdoms and all their glory,” he said. “For it has been relinquished to me, and I can give it to anyone I wish.

7A lꞌsoro jꞌjamme alahng kak-m, nsol nyia kpee bahke fere jol nyꞌnya.”So if You worship me, it will all be Yours.”

8Owo Jisos kehm-e faange re, “Nwer Esowo bungu re, ‘Kak Esowo Ntul ewa. Ye ntahngtahng wo a bahk-e loko.’ ”But Jesus answered, “It is written: ‘Worship the Lord your God and serve Him only.’”

9Nnehm kehm-e koko tahm a ne go Jeusalem, song rod-e kunu go elkong etahk Esowo, kehm-e tongo re, “A lꞌfere jol Mmon Esowo, yehb gbo ndi.Then the devil led Him to Jerusalem and set Him on the pinnacle of the temple. “If You are the Son of God,” he said, “throw Yourself down from here.

10Tibre nwer Esowo bungu re, ‘Esowo bahke tongo enjel enye, bo baab-a.’For it is written: ‘He will command His angels concerning You to guard You carefully,

11Edi nwer Esowo jehko kpe bung re, ‘Bo bahk-a gbiiri go bo abo, eji a lꞌkꞌba jahre akpade go eltal.’ ”and they will lift You up in their hands, so that You will not strike Your foot against a stone.’”

12Owo Jisos kehm-e faange re, “Nwer Esowo bungu re, ‘Ka gare Esowo Ntul ewa.’ ”But Jesus answered, “It also says, ‘Do not put the Lord your God to the test.’”

13Eji nnehm m-e gare mal, á kehm-e tohko yake mmongare ntiil.When the devil had finished every temptation, he left Him until an opportune time.

14Jisos kehm feere a nsahm Etingi Etohko, ba rehng go Galili. Owo elgahm ene kehm yeere ejang ejahbe jio kpee.Jesus returned to Galilee in the power of the Spirit, and the news about Him spread throughout the surrounding region.

15Á jo tibi go bo a ntahk ero. Ane kpee jo tehk-e tehk.He taught in their synagogues and was glorified by everyone.

16Jisos kehm jeke go Nasaret, edi ji bo le-e no, á gbal. Efung Esabat á kehm jeke go etahk ero ana á jo kono ellimi. Á kehm mehle yiimi re á lung edi nwer Esowo.Then Jesus came to Nazareth, where He had been brought up. As was His custom, He entered the synagogue on the Sabbath. And when He stood up to read,

17Bo kehm-e kake nwer nyi nnyehnamahr Aisaya. Eji á ma lennge nwer nyio, á kehm song nyehn edi ji bo nyono re,the scroll of the prophet Isaiah was handed to Him. Unrolling it, He found the place where it was written:

18“Etohko ji Jehova jia, kun-m. Á ma-m tum re me n song tiingi etib bi bahke wahnge aneb agbekobo for, awakamahr nyehn. Á ma-m tum re me n song tahre ane ba kpꞌnyehne erem yehke bo go afemfem nya bo wob no,“The Spirit of the Lord is on Me, because He has anointed Me to preach good news to the poor. He has sent Me to proclaim liberty to the captives and recovery of sight to the blind, to release the oppressed,

19fere tong ane re, Elya eyebatahng ni Jehova ebrehng.”to proclaim the year of the Lord’s favor.”

20Eji á ma bulu nwer nyio, á kehm feere a nyi ka nlokeltum, kehm jehke. Ane kpee ba woomo go ekpꞌkpa ero jio jo seeng-e na seenge too.Then He rolled up the scroll, returned it to the attendant, and sat down. The eyes of everyone in the synagogue were fixed on Him,

21Owo á kehm kehme elbungu a bo re, “Edi nwer Esowo jia ebjol go etingitingi lela, eji ḿ ma wuk.”and He began by saying, “Today this Scripture is fulfilled in your hearing.”

22Owo ane kpee kehm-e kehme eltehke. Anoobo alum nya lohng-e go nnyo jo kpo bo esi sehng. Bo kehm bahbe re, “Anv, mmon a Josef sang aa?”All spoke well of Him and marveled at the gracious words that came from His lips. “Isn’t this the son of Joseph?” they asked.

23Á kehm tongo bo re, “Etingitingi, ḿ bahk-m tubu elgan nia re, ‘Nlimakahm, lim elna, wo nob me!’ Fere bung re, ‘Nsol nyi e ma wuk re, woblim go Kapenium, tob lim a fvfo go ega ejahbe!’ ”Jesus said to them, “Surely you will quote this proverb to Me: ‘Physician, heal yourself! Do here in Your hometown what we have heard that You did in Capernaum.’”

24Owo Jisos kehm kpe bung re, “Etingitingi, n kp-n tongo re, Nnyehnamahr awohng awohng limm, no bo kpo ko-e go ege ejahbe.”Then He added, “Truly I tell you, no prophet is accepted in his hometown.

25Etingitingi, n kp-n tongo re, Akalebun jolo gbalee go Israel ngare nyi Elaija, eji elahb ki kpe na go nnya era kunu ejang, owo egburu njal kehm bake go ndi nyio kpee.But I tell you truthfully that there were many widows in Israel in the time of Elijah, when the sky was shut for three and a half years and great famine swept over all the land.

26Jol Esowo tumem Elaija tv nkalebun awohng awohng gona, sehngem nkalebun awohng no jolo go Sarefat ji Saidon wo, Esowo tumu Elaija tv-e.Yet Elijah was not sent to any of them, but to the widow of Zarephath in Sidon.

27“Aneb abili gbalee ba jolo go Israel ngare nyi nnyehnamahr Elisa. Bo, nne awohng awohng nobem abili enye, sehngem Neman ji jolo nne a Siria wo wo nobo.”And there were many lepers in Israel in the time of Elisha the prophet. Yet not one of them was cleansed—only Naaman the Syrian.”

28Eji ane ba woomo ekpꞌkpa ero jio wuku ano, atahng kehm rake bo tete.On hearing this, all the people in the synagogue were enraged.

29Bo kehm-e tohngo yehke go ejahbe jio, song rehng a ne go nkpe ewong nyi bo si ejahbe jio kunu re bo gbul-e, á fooro go egbunggbung ewong ba gbo.They got up, drove Him out of the town, and led Him to the brow of the hill on which the town was built, in order to throw Him over the cliff.

30Á fere jene na, ba sehng go elka ane tahm eje.But Jesus passed through the crowd and went on His way.

31Owo Jisos kehm tahme, song rehng go Kapenium ji li go Galili, song kehme ane tib efung Esabat.Then He went down to Capernaum, a town in Galilee, and on the Sabbath He began to teach the people.

32Jo kpo bo esi tib go ege eltibi ni á jo tib bo. Tibre alum nya á jo bung, á jo bungu ana nne no kpi nsahm.They were astonished at His teaching, because His message had authority.

33Nne jolo o ekpꞌkpa ero jio, no bele esabsab etohko go ege atahng. Á kehm rabe tiim re,In the synagogue there was a man possessed by the spirit of an unclean demon. He cried out in a loud voice,

34“Yak-m! E li go nfem anyi awahr a na, Jisos ji Nasaret? A ba re wo ba ranng-ra? N kpꞌkahne nne no a li no. A li mbarebara nne Esowo!”“Ha! What do You want with us, Jesus of Nazareth? Have You come to destroy us? I know who You are—the Holy One of God!”

35Owo Jisos kehm-e nyame re, “Behl ewok, wo lohng-e song!” Ebi etohko jio kehm yehke nne noo tub ndi go elka ane bao, soro lohng-e. Ejumjum we á limem.But Jesus rebuked the demon. “Be silent!” He said. “Come out of him!” At this, the demon threw the man down before them all and came out without harming him.

36Kehm kehme nne awohng awohng esi kpo, bo kehm kehme elbungu atemtem re, “Anv, elkohn alum anya a, nya á kpo bung go nsahm, tong asabsab atohko, bo jo lohng?”All the people were overcome with amazement and asked one another, “What is this message? With authority and power He commands the unclean spirits, and they come out!”

37Owo elgahm ni Jisos kehm yeere, rehng ejahbe ajehng ajehng ji jolo ejang bio.And the news about Jesus spread throughout the surrounding region.

38Jisos kehm lohngo ekpꞌkpa ero jio, song rehng go etahk Saimon. Nnyehn nkal a Saimon, arumbum nyed-e sehng. Bo kehm-e gboongo ka-e.After Jesus had left the synagogue, He went to the home of Simon, whose mother-in-law was suffering from a high fever. So they appealed to Jesus on her behalf,

39Á kehm tahme song yiimi go ege a nkpe edilnong, kehm nyame arumbum nyao, nnenkal noo soro nob, kehm mehle tvtv, soro kehme bo loko.and He stood over her and rebuked the fever, and it left her. And she got up at once and began to serve them.

40Eji njul yahke ba ellahme, ane kpee ba bele aneb ayam, ba jo yam ajoobo ayam tvv, kehm koko bo, ba goji Jisos. Á kehm kunu bo abo, go nne awohng awohng, bo nob ane kpee.At sunset, all who were ill with various diseases were brought to Jesus, and laying His hands on each one, He healed them.

41Abi atohko tob lohngo ane gbalee, jo biingi tiim, fere jo bung re, “Wo wo li Mmon no Esowo!” Jisos jo nyame bo. Á joom taame re bo bung. Tibre bo jo kahne kpee re á li Mesaya.Demons also came out of many people, shouting, “You are the Son of God!” But He rebuked the demons and would not allow them to speak, because they knew He was the Christ.

42Efungfu behre behre Jisos kehm tahme ejahbe jio, song rehng go edi ji li soom. Ane kehm-e kehme elsebe. Eji bo nyehn-e no, bo kehm jo nok mbang anyehng anyehng, eji á lꞌkꞌtahm bo sa.At daybreak, Jesus went out to a solitary place, and the crowds were looking for Him. They came to Him and tried to keep Him from leaving.

43Owo á kehm tongo bo re, “M bahke tob tiingi nnoobo etib bi etul bi Esowo tong ajahbe nyako fvfo. Tibre ana wo wahnge Esowo tum-m no.”But Jesus told them, “I must preach the good news of the kingdom of God to the other towns as well, because that is why I was sent.”

44Owo á kehm tahme, jo song bung alum Esowo go ntahk ero nyi jolo go Judea.And He continued to preach in the synagogues of Judea.
