2Ɨnʉ Shɨtaani akabha aramogema. Ribhaga riyo ataarɨ ariirɨ kegero chʉchʉsi, ɨnzara ɨkamurya bhʉkʉngʼu.where for forty days He was tempted by the devil. He ate nothing during those days, and when they had ended, He was hungry.

3Neho Shɨtaani akamʉbhʉʉrɨra, “Arɨɨbhɨ awɨ ni‑Mwana wa Mungu, rɨbhʉʉrɨrɨ riibhwɨ rɨnʉ rɨbhɨ ʉmʉkaatɨ.”The devil said to Him, “If You are the Son of God, tell this stone to become bread.”

4Akamʉgarukirya, “Yandikirwɨ, ‘Ʉmʉʉtʉ atakwikara kwa bhyakurya ibhyene.’ ”But Jesus answered, “It is written: ‘Man shall not live on bread alone.’”

5Akʉmara, Shɨtaani akahira Yɨɨsu igʉrʉ bhʉkʉngʼu, akamwerecha ʉbhʉtɨmi bhwa zɨɨsɨ zʉʉsi kwa rogendo rʉmwɨ.Then the devil led Him up to a high place and showed Him in an instant all the kingdoms of the world.

6Akamʉbhʉʉrɨra, “Nɨrakoha ʉbhʉnaja igʉrʉ wʉ ʉbhʉtɨmi bhwa zɨɨsɨ ziyo, bhʉmbɨ nu ubhuniibhi bhwa bhyʉsi bhɨnʉ, kʉ kʉbha niinyɨ nɨhɨɨrwɨ bhyʉsi, na nɨraha ʉmʉʉtʉ wʉwʉʉsi wʉnʉ nikwenda.“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.

7Nangʉ, ʉraansengere nɨrakoha bhyʉsi bhɨnʉ.”So if You worship me, it will all be Yours.”

8Akamʉgarukirya, “Yandikirwɨ, ‘Osengere Ʉmʉkʉrʉ Mungu waazʉ na omohokerye ewe umwene.’ ”But Jesus answered, “It is written: ‘Worship the Lord your God and serve Him only.’”

9Akʉmara Shɨtaani akahira Yɨɨsu Yɨrusarɨɨmu, akamwimiirirya igʉrʉ wɨ ɨkɨkʉngʉ cha rihekaaru, akamʉbhʉʉrɨra, “Arɨɨbhɨ awɨ ni‑Mwana wa Mungu, irekera haasɨ,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.

10kʉ kʉbha yandikirwɨ, ‘Mungu araswaja bhamaraika bhaazɨ bhakuriibhɨ.For it is written: ‘He will command His angels concerning You to guard You carefully,

11Bharakugwatɨrɨra, korereke amagʉrʉ gaazʉ gataaza kwitema kwibhwɨ.’ ”and they will lift You up in their hands, so that You will not strike Your foot against a stone.’”

12Akamʉgarukirya, “Yandikirwɨ, ‘Ʉtagema Ʉmʉkʉrʉ Mungu waazʉ.’ ”But Jesus answered, “It also says, ‘Do not put the Lord your God to the test.’”

13Hanʉ Shɨtaani aamarirɨ komogema, akamutiga kwibhaga irebhe.When the devil had finished every temptation, he left Him until an opportune time.

14Akʉmara, Yɨɨsu akagarʉka Gariraaya, izwirɨ amanaga ge Ekoro Ɨndɨndu. Na amangʼana igʉrʉ waazɨ gakanyaragana bhʉkʉngʼu mucharʉ kiyo chʉsi.Jesus returned to Galilee in the power of the Spirit, and the news about Him spread throughout the surrounding region.

15Akaja ariija abhaatʉ mʉmarwazɨrʉ gaabhʉ, bhʉʉsi bhakabha bharamukumya.He taught in their synagogues and was glorified by everyone.

16Neho akagarʉka Nazarɨɨti, mʉrʉbhɨri rʉnʉ aarɨrirwɨ. Urusikʉ rwʉ ʉbhʉtʉʉrʉ, akasikɨra mwirwazɨrʉ, chɨmbu gaarɨ amanarʉ gaazɨ, akiimɨɨrɨra kosoma ɨngʼana ya Mungu.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,

17Akahaabhwa ɨkɨtabhʉ kɨnʉ chandikirwɨ nʉ ʉmʉrʉʉtɨrɨri Isaaya, akakihumbura, akabhona ahagero hanʉ haandikirwɨ,the scroll of the prophet Isaiah was handed to Him. Unrolling it, He found the place where it was written:

18“Ekoro yʉ Ʉmʉkʉrʉ Mungu, ɨrɨ hamwɨ na niinyɨ. Amarirɨ kondobhora nɨbharwazɨrɨ abhahabhɨ Ɨngʼana Ɨnzʉmu. Antumirɨ kʉbhabhʉʉrɨra abhabhohwa, ʉkʉtazurwa kwabhʉ, na abhahʉku, bhararora naatu, na bhanʉ bhakʉnyaakibhwa, bharasabhurwa.“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,

19Na antumirɨ nɨbharwazɨrɨ abhaatʉ ribhaga ryɨ ɨbhɨgʉngi bhyʉ Ʉmʉkʉrʉ Mungu.”to proclaim the year of the Lord’s favor.”

20Hanʉ aamarirɨ kosoma amangʼana gayo, Yɨɨsu akakundikirya ɨkɨtabhʉ, akagarukirya omohocha, akiikara atangɨ kwija. Abhaatʉ bhʉʉsi bhanʉ bhaarɨ mwirwazɨrʉ muyo, bhaarɨ bhamʉkandikijiryɨ amɨɨsʉ.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,

21Akabhuga, “Amaandɨkʉ Amarɨndu ganʉ mwigwirɨ garasomwa, reero yɨnʉ gakʉrirwɨ mʉbhʉtangɨ bhwanyu.”and He began by saying, “Today this Scripture is fulfilled in your hearing.”

22Amangʼana gaazɨ amazʉmu, gakagirya abhaatʉ bhʉʉsi bhamukumyɨ, bhakarʉgʉʉra. Bhakatanga kwibhuurya, “Wʉnʉ atarɨ mwana wa Yuusufu?”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.

23Yɨɨsu akabhabhʉʉrɨra, “Mʉtaana makɨbhwɨ mʉrambʉʉrɨra rɨnʉ, ‘Ʉmʉgabhʉ, wihorye aumwene. Gʉʉsi ganʉ twigwirɨ ʉragakora mʉrʉbhɨri rwa Kapɨrinaumu, ʉgakore nʉ ʉwɨɨtʉ hanʉ!’ ”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.’”

24Akangʼeha kubhuga, “Nɨrabhabhʉʉrɨra amaheene, atareeho ʉmʉrʉʉtɨrɨri wʉnʉ akwisiriribhwa mʉrʉbhɨri rwazɨ.Then He added, “Truly I tell you, no prophet is accepted in his hometown.

25“Nawe amaheene nɨrabhabhʉʉrɨra, ribhaga rya Ɨɨriya, imbura ɨtaatwɨkirɨ myaka ɨtatʉ na myɨri ɨsaasabha, kuhika ɨnzara ɨkasikɨra mucharʉ chʉsi cha Iziraɨri. Na momenye, bhaareho abhakwirwa bhaaru mucharʉ ribhaga riyo.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.

26Nʉʉrʉbhu, Ɨɨriya ataatumirwɨ naabha kwa wʉmwɨ waabhʉ, nawe, akatumwa kumukwirwa wʉmwɨ wʉ ʉrʉbhɨri rwa Sarɨɨputa, mucharʉ cha Sidʉʉni, igʉtʉ wa Iziraɨri!Yet Elijah was not sent to any of them, but to the widow of Zarephath in Sidon.

27“Ribhaga ryʉ ʉmʉrʉʉtɨrɨri Ɨrisha, bhaarɨ bhareho abhagenge bhaaru mucharʉ cha Iziraɨri. Nʉʉrʉbhu, ataarɨ areho nʉʉrʉ wʉmwɨ waabhʉ wʉnʉ aahʉriibhwɨ, kurushaku Naamani umwene, ʉmʉʉtʉ kurwa mucharʉ cha Siiriya!”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.”

28Abhaatʉ bhʉʉsi bhanʉ bhiibhiringiirɨ mwirwazɨrʉ riyo, hanʉ bhiigwirɨ amangʼana ga Yɨɨsu, bhakiigatana bhʉkʉngʼu.On hearing this, all the people in the synagogue were enraged.

29Bhakabhʉʉka, bhakamuhira kuhika kumuhiringitʉ ʉmʉhaari gwɨ ɨkɨgʉrʉ kɨnʉ ʉrʉbhɨri rwabhʉ rʉkʉʉmbakwa, korereke bhamusukumɨ.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.

30Nawe, akahɨta gatɨgatɨ ya abhaatʉ bhayo, akaja izaazɨ.But Jesus passed through the crowd and went on His way.

31Akʉmara, Yɨɨsu akabhʉʉka akaja mʉrʉbhɨri rwa Kapɨrinaumu, mucharʉ cha Gariraaya. Urusikʉ rwʉ ʉbhʉtʉʉrʉ, akasikɨra mwirwazɨrʉ, akatanga kwija abhaatʉ.Then He went down to Capernaum, a town in Galilee, and on the Sabbath He began to teach the people.

32Amiija gaazɨ, gakabharuguurya bhʉkʉngʼu, kʉ kʉbha gaarɨ nʉ ʉbhʉnaja.They were astonished at His teaching, because His message had authority.

33Mwirwazɨrʉ muyo, kwarɨ nʉ ʉmʉʉtʉ wʉmwɨ aarɨ na risambwa. Risambwa riyo, rɨkarɨra kwiraka, rɨrabhuga,In the synagogue there was a man possessed by the spirit of an unclean demon. He cried out in a loud voice,

34“Awɨ Yɨɨsu wa Nazarɨɨti, ʉtatʉnyaacha! Nangʉ, wiizirɨ kuturicha? Nikwɨzɨ awɨ nɨ‑wɨɨwɨ, awɨ nɨ‑Mʉrɨndu wa Mungu.”“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!”

35Yɨɨsu akarɨhaarɨra risambwa riyo akabhuga, “Kira! Nuurwɨ kʉmʉʉtʉ wʉnʉ!” Rogendo rʉmwɨ, risambwa riyo rɨkagwisha ʉmʉʉtʉ wuyo haasɨ, mʉbhʉtangɨ bhwa abhaatʉ bhayo bhʉʉsi, rɨkahʉrʉka bhwaheene.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.

36Abhaatʉ bhʉʉsi bhakarʉgʉʉra bhʉkʉngʼu, bhakiibhuurya, “Mangʼanakɨ ganʉ? Ndora ʉmʉʉtʉ wʉnʉ kʉbhʉnaja na amanaga, araheebha amasambwa, rogendo rʉmwɨ, garahʉrʉka!”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!”

37Amangʼana igʉrʉ wa amahocha ga Yɨɨsu, gakanyaragana bhʉkʉngʼu mucharʉ chʉsi.And the news about Jesus spread throughout the surrounding region.

38Yɨɨsu akarwa mwirwazɨrʉ, akasikɨra munyumba ya Simʉʉni. Uninabhyara Simʉʉni, aarɨ ne ehooma haari, bhakasabha Yɨɨsu amohorye.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,

39Neho akiimɨɨrɨra haguhɨ nawe, akarecha ubhurwɨrɨ bhuyo, rogendo rʉmwɨ akahora. Neho ʉmʉkari wuyo akabhʉʉka, akatanga kʉbhatengera ibhyakurya.and He stood over her and rebuked the fever, and it left her. And she got up at once and began to serve them.

40Hanʉ iryʉbha ryarɨ rɨratʉbhɨra, abhaatʉ bhaaru bhakareetera Yɨɨsu abharwɨrɨ bhaabhʉ, bhanʉ bhaarɨ na amarwɨrɨ gʉgʉʉsi. Yɨɨsu akabhateera bhʉʉsi amabhoko gaazɨ, akabhahorya.At sunset, all who were ill with various diseases were brought to Jesus, and laying His hands on each one, He healed them.

41Hamwɨmwɨ na gayo, Yɨɨsu akaheebha amasambwa kʉbhaatʉ bhaaru ɨnʉ gararɨgɨsa, “Awɨ ni‑Mwana wa Mungu!” Kʉ kʉbha amasambwa gayo gakamenya Yɨɨsu newe Kiriisitʉ, akagarecha gatagamba naatu.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.

42Tabhʉʉri waho, hanʉ bhwɨrirɨ, Yɨɨsu akarwa hayo, akaja ahagero hanʉ hataarɨ na abhaatʉ. Nawe, abhaatʉ bhaarɨ bharamomohya na hanʉ bhaamʉrʉʉzɨ, bhakagema komorecha, atabhʉʉka.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.

43Nawe, Yɨɨsu akabhabhʉʉrɨra, “Ɨranyenda nijɨ mumijɨ ɨgɨndɨ, nɨbharwazɨrɨ abhaatʉ Ɨngʼana Ɨnzʉmu yʉ ʉbhʉtɨmi bhwa Mungu, kʉ kʉbha nɨkatumwa igʉrʉ wa riyo.”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.”

44Neho Yɨɨsu akatanʉra kʉhɨtɨra Yudeya, ararwazɨra abhaatʉ mʉmarwazɨrʉ.And He continued to preach in the synagogues of Judea.
