Luke 4 (LAG) · Opened

1Yéesu kʉnʉ ahókɨɨre Mʉtɨma Mʉʉja, akahɨndʉka fuma luujii lwa Yorodáani. Mʉtɨma Mʉʉja akamʉtwaala fʉʉrʉ ɨsɨ ya ibaláángwii.Then Jesus, full of the Holy Spirit, returned from the Jordan and was led by the Spirit into the wilderness,

2Ʉko Ikʉ́ʉ́lʉ ra Mirimʉ Mɨvɨ rɨkamʉyera Yéesu kwa sikʉ makumi yanɨ (40). Na kwa sikʉ joosi ijo sɨ arijáa kɨɨntʉ chochoosi tʉkʉ, aho akiiteera njala.where for forty days He was tempted by the devil. He ate nothing during those days, and when they had ended, He was hungry.

3Aho, Ikʉ́ʉ́lʉ ra Mirimʉ Mɨvɨ rɨkamʉsea, “Koonɨ ʉrɨ Mwaana wa Mʉlʉʉngʉ, lairirya iwye ɨrɨ rɨve mʉkáate.”The devil said to Him, “If You are the Son of God, tell this stone to become bread.”

4Yéesu akuuyirya, yoosea, “Masáare ˆYarɨ Mpeho yalʉʉsa jei, ‘Mʉʉntʉ sɨ arɨ kʉva nkaasʉ kwa vyóorya vii tʉkʉ.’”But Jesus answered, “It is written: ‘Man shall not live on bread alone.’”

5Ikʉ́ʉ́lʉ ra Mirimʉ Mɨvɨ rɨkamʉtwaala Yéesu na haantʉ ˆhiinʉka harɨ ncholwii. Ʉko, rɨkamʉlaɨra kwa mpɨɨndɨ nduudi ntemi ja weerʉ yoosi.Then the devil led Him up to a high place and showed Him in an instant all the kingdoms of the world.

6Ikʉ́ʉ́lʉ ra Mirimʉ Mɨvɨ rɨkamʉsea, “Kʉheera ndɨrɨ nkongojima ya ntemi jaavo joosi na wiimiriri waavo, sa nkongojima na wiimiriri wa ntemi iji joosi naheewa nɨɨnɨ na ifaanaa nkamʉheera yoyoosi ˆnoosaaka.“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.

7Haaha koonɨ wuunyinamɨɨre, ivi vyoosi kʉva viri vyaako.”So if You worship me, it will all be Yours.”

8Yéesu akuuyirya, yoosea, “Masáare ˆYarɨ Mpeho yalʉʉsa jei, ‘Mwiinamɨre Ijʉva Mʉlʉʉngʉ waako vii, na ʉmʉtʉmamɨre yeemweene vii.’”But Jesus answered, “It is written: ‘Worship the Lord your God and serve Him only.’”

9Rɨkamʉtwaala Yéesu fʉʉrʉ múujii wa Yerusaléemu, ncholwiinchoolwii ya mʉnáara wa Kaaya Njija ya Ijʉva, maa rɨkamʉsea, “Koonɨ weewe ʉrɨ Mwaana wa Mʉlʉʉngʉ, ifweite na ɨsɨ fuma aha.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.

10Sa Masáare ˆYarɨ Mpeho yalʉʉsa, ‘Mʉlʉʉngʉ tʉma arɨ mirimʉ yaachwe miija ɨkʉlamurirye,For it is written: ‘He will command His angels concerning You to guard You carefully,

11yooyo kʉkwaatɨrɨra ɨrɨ mɨkonwii yaavo, sa karɨ ijeo raako jɨ riikunguvale iwyii tʉkʉ.’”and they will lift You up in their hands, so that You will not strike Your foot against a stone.’”

12Yéesu akuuyirya, yoosea, “Masáare ˆYarɨ Mpeho yalʉʉsa jei, ‘Karɨ ʉmʉyéraa Ijʉva Mʉlʉʉngʉ waako tʉkʉ.’”But Jesus answered, “It also says, ‘Do not put the Lord your God to the test.’”

13Ikʉ́ʉ́lʉ ra Mirimʉ Mɨvɨ ˆrɨkahʉmʉle kʉmʉyera Yéesu kwa njɨra joosi ijo, maa rɨkamʉreka kwa mpɨɨndɨ.When the devil had finished every temptation, he left Him until an opportune time.

14Aho, Yéesu akahɨndʉka na ɨsɨ ya Galiláaya ahókɨɨre lʉvɨro lwa Mʉtɨma Mʉʉja. Noyo masáare yaachwe yakeenera ɨsɨ joosi ˆjarɨɨngɨrɨra.Jesus returned to Galilee in the power of the Spirit, and the news about Him spread throughout the surrounding region.

15Ne akiindyáa vaantʉ sinagóogii jaavo na kɨra mʉʉntʉ amʉdʉʉmbáa.He taught in their synagogues and was glorified by everyone.

16Sikʉ ɨmwɨ, Yéesu akadoma na múujii wa Nasaréeti kʉʉntʉ ˆakʉrɨra. Na sikʉ ya Sabáato akɨɨngɨra na sinagóogii ja ˆvyeene iijʉvɨra. Akɨɨma sa asome Masáare ˆYarɨ Mpeho.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,

17Akaheewa kɨtáabu cha Isáaya mʉláali na mʉtwe. Akakɨfotolola na akashaana haantʉ ˆhaandɨkwa,the scroll of the prophet Isaiah was handed to Him. Unrolling it, He found the place where it was written:

18“Mʉtɨma wa Ijʉva nɨ mweeri yaanɨ ʉrɨ, sa aampaka makuta, nvariyʉle Masáare Maaja kwa vakɨva. Aantʉma nɨvawyɨɨre vaantʉ ˆvarɨ mʉnyololwii, kʉchʉngʉrɨrwa kwaavo, vahoku koona kwaavo kei, kʉvalamurirya vaantʉ ˆvakénderɨrwaa,“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,

19kei, noo vavariyʉrɨra vaantʉ mwaaka wa Ijʉva yookʉʉja noo vatalarya vaantʉ vaachwe.”to proclaim the year of the Lord’s favor.”

20Yéesu ˆakamarikirye soma, akakɨfota kɨra kɨtáabu, akamʉheera mʉtʉmami wa sinagóogi, maa akiikala. Vaantʉ voosi ˆvajáa aho, vakamutuurirya miiso.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,

21Aho, akaanda lʉʉsɨka novo akavasea, “Isikʉ, aya Masáare ˆYarɨ Mpeho ˆmʉtéɨɨre, yakíimɨɨne.”and He began by saying, “Today this Scripture is fulfilled in your hearing.”

22Vaantʉ voosi ˆvajáa aho, vakamʉdʉʉmba kʉnʉ vahwáalɨɨre sa masáare ya nduwo ˆmeene alʉʉsáa. Viiyuryáa voosea, “Ʉhʉ sɨ arɨ mwaana wa Yooséefu tʉkʉ wʉʉ?”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.

23Ne akavasea, “Namányire kuungwyɨɨra mʉrɨ mpɨ́rɨ ɨhɨ, ‘Mwaanga ihorye mweeneevyo!’ Kei kʉʉnsea mʉrɨ, ‘Masáare ˆtateera watʉmama kʉra iturii ra Kaperenáumu, yatʉmame aha iturii kʉʉntʉ ˆwakʉrɨra.’”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.’”

24Kei akavasea, “Kɨmaarɨ noovawyɨɨra, kusiina mʉláali na mʉtwe wa Ijʉva ˆarúmwaa kaayii kwaachwe tʉkʉ.Then He added, “Truly I tell you, no prophet is accepted in his hometown.

25Kɨmaarɨ kaa noovawyɨɨra, mpɨɨndɨ ja Elía mʉláali na mʉtwe, mbula ɨjáa yɨɨma kwa myaaka ɨtatʉ na myeeri mʉsasatʉ, ɨsɨ yoosi ɨkava na njala ya imalo. Mpɨɨndɨ ijo, ɨsɨ ya Isiraéeli ɨjáa yatɨɨte valala ˆvamema maatʉkʉ vii.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.

26Maa kaa, Elía sɨ atʉmwa baa kwa ʉmwɨ wa valala avo tʉkʉ. Yeeye atʉmwa kwa mʉlala ʉmwɨ wa múujii wa Seréputa ˆʉrɨ ɨsɨ ya Sidóoni.Yet Elijah was not sent to any of them, but to the widow of Zarephath in Sidon.

27Kei, mpɨɨndɨ ja Elíisha mʉláali na mʉtwe ɨsɨ ya Isiraéeli ɨjáa yatɨɨte vaantʉ ˆvarɨ foo ˆvarɨ na ʉlóónda. Baa jeyyo, kusiina baa ʉmwɨ waavo ajirʉlwa tʉkʉ, maa kaa, Naamáani vii fuma ɨsɨ ya Síria.”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.”

28Vaantʉ voosi ˆvajáa aho sinagóogii ˆvakateere jeyyo, vakakorera nɨ nkalari.On hearing this, all the people in the synagogue were enraged.

29Hahara, vakiinʉka, vakamufumya Yéesu na weerwii ya ituri raavo, vakamʉtwaala fʉʉrʉ nemwiinemwii ya lʉʉlʉ ˆlweene ituri raavo rɨjáa rajeengwa sa vamʉkʉndʉrɨre.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.

30Maa kaa, yeeye akalooka na katɨkatɨ yaavo, akiilookera.But Jesus passed through the crowd and went on His way.

31Aho, Yéesu akagirita na múujii wa Kaperenáumu ˆʉrɨ ɨsɨ ya Galiláaya. Ʉko, sikʉ ya Sabáato avakiindyáa.Then He went down to Capernaum, a town in Galilee, and on the Sabbath He began to teach the people.

32Vaantʉ vakahwaalala ʉvariyuli waachwe, sa ʉjáa watɨɨte wiimiriri.They were astonished at His teaching, because His message had authority.

33Aho sinagóogii, kʉjáa kwatɨɨte mʉʉntʉ ˆajáa na murimʉ mʉvɨ. Ʉwo mʉʉntʉ akatʉlatʉʉla isóso yoosea,In the synagogue there was a man possessed by the spirit of an unclean demon. He cried out in a loud voice,

34“Haaka! Weewe Yéesu wa Nasaréeti, che woosaaka kʉrɨ suusu? Wuújire tʉmala wʉʉ? Nakʉmányire ʉrɨ ani weewe! Weewe ʉrɨ Mʉʉja wa Mʉlʉʉngʉ.”“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!”

35Yéesu akʉʉdalavya ʉra murimʉ mʉvɨ yoosea, “Kirinya sawu! Fuma kʉrɨ ʉhʉ mʉʉntʉ!” Ʉra murimʉ mʉvɨ ʉkamʉvayya ʉra mʉʉntʉ mbere yaavo baa mʉtamikya tʉkʉ.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.

36Vaantʉ voosi vakahwaalariwa maatʉkʉ vii, maa vakaanda kiiyurya voovo kwa voovo voosea, “Aya nɨ masáare che? Kwa wiimiriri na ngururu yoolairirya mirimʉ mɨvɨ ifume noyo yoofuma!”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!”

37Jeyyo, masáare ya Yéesu yakeenera kɨra haantʉ ɨsɨ ɨra.And the news about Jesus spread throughout the surrounding region.

38Yéesu akafuma aho sinagóogii, maa akadoma fʉʉrʉ kaayii kwa Simóoni. ˆVakafike, vakamʉshaana mʉkwɨ wa Simóoni ajáa nchiirii aváirwe nɨ ndwáala, maa vakamʉloomba Yéesu amʉhorye.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,

39Yéesu akamʉseeserera, maa akɨɨdalavya ɨra ndwáala. Hahara akahola ɨra ndwáala yaachwe, maa akaanda vatʉmamɨra.and He stood over her and rebuked the fever, and it left her. And she got up at once and began to serve them.

40Mpɨɨndɨ mwaasʉ ˆwakʉtʉmɨráa, vaantʉ voosi ˆvajáa na valwɨ́ɨrɨ ˆvajáa na ndwáala ˆjiísimiresimire, vakavareeta na kwa Yéesu. Akavɨɨka mɨkono yaachwe mweeri yaavo voosi na voosi vakahola.At sunset, all who were ill with various diseases were brought to Jesus, and laying His hands on each one, He healed them.

41Mirimʉ mɨvɨ yafumáa kwa vaantʉ ˆvarɨ foo, noyo yatʉláa isóso yoosea, “Weewe ʉrɨ Mwaana wa Mʉlʉʉngʉ!” Maa kaa, Yéesu ɨɨdalavyáa ɨreke lʉʉsa isáare roroosi sa ɨjáa yamányire yeeye noo Masía.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.

42Lomʉtóondo yaachwe ˆkʉkeere, Yéesu akatamanya na haantʉ ˆharɨ kijiraawa. Mpuka nkʉʉlʉ ya vaantʉ ˆvakataange asiina, maa vakaanda mʉsaakɨra. ˆVakamoone vakaanda kʉmʉkɨtɨra sa achaale ʉko meevo.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.

43Maa kaa, Yéesu akavasea, “Nasaakwa nvariyʉle Masáare Maaja ya Ʉtemi wa Mʉlʉʉngʉ míijii yɨɨngɨ sa ɨkɨ noo ˆcheene natʉmwa jɨ ntʉmame.”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.”

44Jeyyo, Yéesu akatuuba variyʉla Masáare ˆYarɨ Mpeho masinagóogii ya Vayahúudi.And He continued to preach in the synagogues of Judea.
