1Iyesu shere ugro Ijodan ngɛ, ekǝ tirɛ ni Ʊring Ʊshisha, ɛkǝri Ʊring Ʊshisha ka kpara ngɛ kyaa idɔɔ rumo.Then Jesus, full of the Holy Spirit, returned from the Jordan and was led by the Spirit into the wilderness,

2Bi ʊpʊrha wɔ Ishari ka marha ngɛ bi idɔɔ awri isi narhi. Bi idɔɔ awri dang akyana raa iririma, kyeba ba akurha ngɛ ihywunw ka kpin ngɛ.where for forty days He was tempted by the devil. He ate nothing during those days, and when they had ended, He was hungry.

3Ishari kasani ngɛ ni, “Uboshoo ɔnɔ Ʊnʊng sani ʊtari wen ni utere oshoo ʊmʊra.”The devil said to Him, “If You are the Son of God, tell this stone to become bread.”

4Iyesu ko yoro ngɛ asani,“Ɔwori bidɔɔ ʊyaa ʊsha Ʊnʊng asani: ‘Saa ni ʊmʊramɔɔ eyeyimo orokru nʊ gya ba.’ ”But Jesus answered, “It is written: ‘Man shall not live on bread alone.’”

5Ishari ka kpara Ngɛ ke kya opyo owro sini ani ayaya bi ukro kǝyen Ngɛ kukum igumo eyesing ba anakywa naji.Then the devil led Him up to a high place and showed Him in an instant all the kingdoms of the world.

6Ishari kasani ngɛ ni, “Inu manw kukum ikrʊ kǝni igyang mo kukum. Amam yo kǝnawo ini shu ma arʊ sini iwa maa.“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.

7Ubo kpukporo ɔdɔm, inu shoo inwɔ nokukum.”So if You worship me, it will all be Yours.”

8Iyesu kǝ yoro ngɛ asani, “Shinɛ ben Ishari kii ɔwori bi idɔɔ iring Ʊnʊng ni: ‘Ete ngɛ eyeyie ʊnʊ kpukporo asaa ʊtina.’ ”But Jesus answered, “It is written: ‘Worship the Lord your God and serve Him only.’”

9Ishari ka kpara ngɛ kya Urushelima aka saa utiting kya ayaya ubyen Ʊnʊng, ka sani ɛngɛɛ ni, “Uboshoo ɔnɔ Ʊnʊng, funo baw upen kekya ibʊng”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.

10Kii ɔwori bi ʊyaa ʊsha Ʊnʊng ni: “Anu ma atina ngɛ bekai nwu aki asha nwu,For it is written: ‘He will command His angels concerning You to guard You carefully,

11Anu konw ni ivumo, aki ubekya ogyo ifraa bi ʊtari.”and they will lift You up in their hands, so that You will not strike Your foot against a stone.’”

12Iyesu ko yoro ngɛ, kasani, “Asini: ‘Bekya marha Ete Ʊnʊng nwu.’ ”But Jesus answered, “It also says, ‘Do not put the Lord your God to the test.’”

13Akywa sini Ishari kweri ʊmarha ngɛ aka shere ngɛ kekya opyo akywa sini anu pen apara.When the devil had finished every temptation, he left Him until an opportune time.

14Iyesu ko sɔɔ ngɛ bi Igalili ɛtirɛ ni ikrʊ Ʊring Ʊnʊng. Ɛkǝri ʊring ngɛ ka fwa kukum apya ʊkʊkǝri.Jesus returned to Galilee in the power of the Spirit, and the news about Him spread throughout the surrounding region.

15Aka sʊmɛr mo bi owro utuno Ayaudiya ikuyang kɔ dɔɔ ngɛ.He taught in their synagogues and was glorified by everyone.

16Iyesu ka kya bi idɔɔ Inazaret apyang sini asi ɔkɔng ngɛ. Oshoo awri uwuro Ayaudiya aka raa idɔɔ owro utuno Ayaudiya kǝni sini ɛrɛn ʊsirha ni. Ekǝ shinɛ awaw ʊpara,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,

17Ʊyaa ʊsha Ishaya arʊ pɛrɛ onuo Ʊnʊng ʊmi sini amie. Nisini akʊ shireyo, oko rong owro sini ɔwori ni:the scroll of the prophet Isaiah was handed to Him. Unrolling it, He found the place where it was written:

18“Ering Ete ni bayam, kii akarha akyu worom aki iya tana iring ididima eberi ara ayarha. Atumim itana arʊ sini afrimo bi ʊbɔrʊ eting aki epen ʊgya aki arʊ sini ani ofow epen urong, aki arʊ sini aku rong ayarha bi ivʊ orokru epen ʊgya,“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,

19Ojo tumam itana ni akywa fwa sini Ete nʊ sa arʊɔ ne nɛgbɛn.”to proclaim the year of the Lord’s favor.”

20Okɔ guno ɛkǝri ʊyaa ʊsha, ka nawa ɔnɔ ʊtina ɛkǝri owro utuno Ayaudiya ka kiki. Ikra orokru kukum bi ɛkǝri owro utuno ini bi owroo.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,

21Oko shoo ngɛ ʊtana moni, “Ɛchiyɛ iring Ʊnʊng tirɛ ba atungnyi.”and He began by saying, “Today this Scripture is fulfilled in your hearing.”

22Kukummo ekǝ pɛrɛ ʊring ʊdʊdʊma bi ikywie kǝ jijire ngɛ ni ʊring sini ukuni bai idɔɔ onuo oko gyurho ni, “Sa ɔnɔ Isufu ngɛ wee?”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.

23Iyesu kasani mo ni, “Ikpɛrhi ngɛ ni nyi nʊ tanam igbra yen: ‘Avʊwa ikang ma ʊkanw ikrʊ!’ Inyi nʊ tanam, ‘Sa ben ba apyanw imi sini arʊ kung ʊsi bi Ikafarnahum.’ ”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.’”

24Oko shoo ngɛ ni ʊsani, “Itaniny ʊbrʊbrʊwɔɔ, arʊ tana onuo Ʊnʊng ene pen ngɛ ʊyirha ba apyaa.Then He added, “Truly I tell you, no prophet is accepted in his hometown.

25Iku tanany ʊbrʊbrʊwɔɔ ani erere sini ɛrimɛ mo kpomo agbugbrii bi Isrela ba akywa Iliya, akywa sini afri ayaya akarha avra ʊkpaa ɛnyɛɛ atarʊ ni uting ngɛ, akai ihywung ka kpaa be ɛkǝri ibʊng.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.

26Ʊnʊng kyana tuma ngɛ Iliya ngɛ eye she ararumo ngɛ ba, yip Ʊnʊng katuma ngɛ kekya owro erere sini ɛrimɛ ngɛ kpoo bi Izarifa bai Isidɔn,Yet Elijah was not sent to any of them, but to the widow of Zarephath in Sidon.

27kǝnawo arʊ udumo ʊkɔng nuwo napany bi Isrela ba akywa Elisha arʊ tana onuo Ʊnʊng, bi kǝn Ʊnʊng na ma ararumo ikrʊ, Inaaman ari Isiriya ngɛ eyeyie ami ikrʊ.”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.”

28Akywa sini kukum orokru sini anu owro utuno Ayaudiya akung imi sini Iyesu peri, akata anang nagang.On hearing this, all the people in the synagogue were enraged.

29Ekǝ shinɛ ɔwɔɔ kya utumo apya okoo kya aya ʊtʊng ʊvra sini avuri ɛkǝri apya ngɛ kii ɛwɛi ʊtaa ivʊ ɛfɛn ni ikywirhikywi aki okpoo.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.

30Yip aka sara bidɔɔ ushi orokru ekyeng kyaa.But Jesus passed through the crowd and went on His way.

31Iyesu kǝ kyeng shuro ngɛ kyaa Ikafarnahum bidɔɔ apya Igalili, akasʊ mɛr orokru bi awri uwuro Ayaudiya.Then He went down to Capernaum, a town in Galilee, and on the Sabbath He began to teach the people.

32Orokru kǝ jijire ni ʊmɛr ngɛ, kii ʊring ngɛ ni ikrʊ ngɛ.They were astonished at His teaching, because His message had authority.

33Bidɔɔ owro utuno Ayaudiya opyo orokru nuwo sini ering ishari rii ngɛ. Aka taa akpa ayaya asani,In the synagogue there was a man possessed by the spirit of an unclean demon. He cried out in a loud voice,

34“Shere arʊ, Iyesu ari Inazaret! Ʊwɛi ikying ni arʊ? Ʊbii ʊwaa ʊpɛrɛ arʊ? Ikperhi ʊni iyaa. Ʊnwʊɔ ʊni ami Ʊnʊng Ʊshisha!”“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!”

35Iyesu ka tana ɛkǝri ʊring ubibi ʊraa ngɛ asani,“Shywi, kuno eshire ngɛ!” Ikpara dang ɛkǝri ʊring ishari ko gyo ɛkǝri orokru bi ibʊng be itemo kukum ko kuno wo bau saa unuru.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.

36Kukum orokru ka jijire kasu sani opyomo, “Akina edei ʊring yo ni kǝn? Ni igumo kǝni ikrʊ atani ering ebebi okuno ekǝ kuno!”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!”

37Orokru ka su pɛrɛ ʊring sini Iyesu si ɛkǝri ʊring ka fwa kukum apyang ʊkʊkǝri.And the news about Jesus spread throughout the surrounding region.

38Iyesu sheri owro utuno Ayaudiya ngɛ aka kyeng kya ʊna Isimon. Akywa dang akwa kyerhe Isimon saa akru inama ngɛ kasi ipi nagang, ɔkɔ sɔrhɔ Iyesu ni ɛshɛ ngɛ.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,

39Iyesu ko kpukporo bayaa katana ɛkǝri udumo ni ushere ngɛ, ɛkǝri udumo kǝ shere ngɛ. Ba kywakywa dang ɛkǝri erere kǝ shinɛ akpin ukɛnemo ʊmʊra.and He stood over her and rebuked the fever, and it left her. And she got up at once and began to serve them.

40Akywa sini ʊnʊng ku raawo, orokru ko kuro ni kukum ari idumo ededei ba owro Iyesu. Aka saa avu baya kukina arʊ udumo aka mamo ikrʊ.At sunset, all who were ill with various diseases were brought to Jesus, and laying His hands on each one, He healed them.

41Ʊshari ko kuno bi idɔɔ orokru napany asu takpa asani, “Ʊni Ɔnɔ Ʊnʊng ngɛ!” Iyesu katana moni ashwi akarhamɔ ngɛ ʊpya onuo, kii ekperhi asani ɛngɛɛ ni Ikristi.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.

42Ni ʊbʊyɛrɛ ikywa Iyesu kǝ kyeng kya owro sini ani akpʊkpring. Orokru kasu pyerhe ngɛ akywa sini abi bo owro sini ɔnuo, oko sɔrhɔ ngɛ ani ebekya kyaa eshere mo.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.

43Iyesu ka sani mo ni, “Itɔɔyo Inu tana iring ididima igumo Ʊnʊng ki opyo apya kamo, kii imi sini Ʊnʊng tumim nyina.”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.”

44Oko suno ngɛ ʊtana ʊring Ʊnʊng bi idɔɔ owro utuno Ayaudiya bi ibʊng Iyahudiya.And He continued to preach in the synagogues of Judea.
