Luke 4 (LUG) · Opened

1Awo Yesu, ng’ajjudde Mwoyo Mutukuvu, n’avaayo ku mugga Yoludaani, Omwoyo n’amutwala mu ddungu,Then Jesus, full of the Holy Spirit, returned from the Jordan and was led by the Spirit into the wilderness,

2n’akemebwa Setaani okumala ennaku amakumi ana. Ebbanga eryo lyonna yalimala nga talidde ku mmere, bwe lyaggwaako enjala n’emuluma.where for forty days He was tempted by the devil. He ate nothing during those days, and when they had ended, He was hungry.

3Setaani n’agamba Yesu nti, “Obanga oli, Mwana wa Katonda, gamba ejjinja lino lifuuke emmere.”The devil said to Him, “If You are the Son of God, tell this stone to become bread.”

4Naye Yesu n’amuddamu nti, “Kyawandiikibwa nti, ‘Omuntu taabenga mulamu lwa mmere yokka.’ ”But Jesus answered, “It is written: ‘Man shall not live on bread alone.’”

5Awo Setaani n’amulinnyisa waggulu, mu kaseera katono n’amulaga obwakabaka bwonna obw’omu nsi.Then the devil led Him up to a high place and showed Him in an instant all the kingdoms of the world.

6Setaani n’amugamba nti, “Nzija kukuwa obuyinza ku obwo bwonna n’ekitiibwa kyabwo, kubanga bwonna bwa mpeebwa era nnyinza okubuwa omuntu yenna gwe njagala.“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.

7Bw’onoofukamira n’onsinza byonna ebyo bijja kuba bibyo.”So if You worship me, it will all be Yours.”

8Naye Yesu n’addamu nti, “Kyawandiikibwa nti, ‘Osinzanga Mukama Katonda wo, era gw’oweerezanga yekka.’ ”But Jesus answered, “It is written: ‘Worship the Lord your God and serve Him only.’”

9Ate Setaani n’amutwala mu Yerusaalemi, n’amulinnyisa waggulu ku kasolya ka Yeekaalu awasingira ddala obutumbiivu, n’amugamba nti, “Obanga oli Mwana wa Katonda, buuka weesuule wansi.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.

10Kubanga kyawandiikibwa nti, “ ‘Katonda aliragira bamalayika be bakukuume.For it is written: ‘He will command His angels concerning You to guard You carefully,

11Era balikuwanirira mu mikono gyabwe, oleme okwerumya nga weekonye ekigere kyo ku jjinja.’ ”and they will lift You up in their hands, so that You will not strike Your foot against a stone.’”

12Yesu n’addamu nti, “Kyawandiikibwa nti, ‘Tokemanga Mukama Katonda wo.’ ”But Jesus answered, “It also says, ‘Do not put the Lord your God to the test.’”

13Awo Setaani bwe yamaliriza okukema Yesu mu buli ngeri yonna, n’amuviira okutuusa ekiseera ekirala.When the devil had finished every temptation, he left Him until an opportune time.

14Awo Yesu n’akomawo mu Ggaliraaya ng’ajjudde amaanyi aga Mwoyo Mutukuvu, n’ayogerwako mu bitundu byonna ebyetoolodde mu byalo.Jesus returned to Galilee in the power of the Spirit, and the news about Him spread throughout the surrounding region.

15N’ayigirizanga mu makuŋŋaaniro gaabwe, era bonna ne bamutendereza.He taught in their synagogues and was glorified by everyone.

16Bwe yatuuka e Nazaaleesi, ekibuga mwe yakulira, n’agenda mu kkuŋŋaaniro ku Ssabbiiti, nga bwe yali empisa ye. N’ayimuka okusoma.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,

17Ne bamuwa ekitabo kya nnabbi Isaaya, n’abikkula omuzingo gw’empapula n’alaba awagamba nti,the scroll of the prophet Isaiah was handed to Him. Unrolling it, He found the place where it was written:

18“Omwoyo wa Mukama ali ku nze. Anfuseeko amafuta okubuulira abaavu Enjiri. Antumye okubuulira abasibe okuteebwa, n’abazibe b’amaaso okuzibulwa amaaso balabe, n’abanyigirizibwa okufuna eddembe,“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,

19n’okulangirira ekiseera kya Mukama eky’okulagiramu ekisa kye.”to proclaim the year of the Lord’s favor.”

20N’azingako omuzingo n’aguddiza omuweereza, n’atuula. Abantu bonna mu kkuŋŋaaniro ne bamusimba amaaso.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,

21N’atandika okubategeeza nti, “Olwa leero, Ebyawandiikibwa bino bye muwulidde bituukiridde!”and He began by saying, “Today this Scripture is fulfilled in your hearing.”

22Bonna abaaliwo ne bamutenda nga beewuunya ebigambo bye ebyekisa ebyava mu kamwa ke, nga bwe beebuuza nti, “Ono si ye mutabani wa Yusufu?”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.

23Yesu n’abagamba nti, “Ddala ddala muliyinza n’okuŋŋamba mu lugero luno nti, ‘Omusawo, weewonye,’ nga mugamba nti, ‘Buli kye twawulira mu Kaperunawumu, kikolere na wano mu kyalo kyo.’ ”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.’”

24Naye n’abagamba nti, “Ddala ddala mbagamba nti, Tewali nnabbi ayanirizibwa mu kyalo ky’ewaabwe!Then He added, “Truly I tell you, no prophet is accepted in his hometown.

25Naye mazima mbagamba nti, waaliwo bannamwandu bangi mu biseera bya nnabbi Eriya, mu Isirayiri enkuba bwe yamala emyaka esatu n’ekitundu nga tetonnya, n’enjala n’egwa mu nsi yonna.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.

26Naye nnabbi Eriya teyatumibwa eri omu ku bannamwandu abo, wabula yatumibwa eri nnamwandu ow’e Zalefaasi mu Sidoni.Yet Elijah was not sent to any of them, but to the widow of Zarephath in Sidon.

27Ne mu biseera bya nnabbi Erisa waaliwo abagenge bangi mu Isirayiri, naye tewali n’omu ku bo eyalongoosebwa okuggyako Naamani Omusuuli.”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.”

28Bonna abaali mu kuŋŋaaniro ne bakwatibwa obusungu olw’ebigambo ebyo,On hearing this, all the people in the synagogue were enraged.

29ne basituka, ne bamusindiikiriza okumutuusa ebweru w’ekibuga ku bbangabanga ly’olusozi ekibuga kyabwe kwe kyazimbibwa, bamusindike agwe eri wansi.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.

30Naye n’abayitamu wakati ne yeetambulira.But Jesus passed through the crowd and went on His way.

31Awo Yesu n’alaga e Kaperunawumu, ekibuga eky’e Ggaliraaya n’abayigirizanga ku nnaku eza Ssabbiiti.Then He went down to Capernaum, a town in Galilee, and on the Sabbath He began to teach the people.

32Ne beewuunya nnyo okuyigiriza kwe. Kubanga yayogeranga nga nnannyini buyinza.They were astonished at His teaching, because His message had authority.

33Mu kkuŋŋaaniro, mwalimu omusajja eyaliko ddayimooni n’atandika okuwowoggana nti,In the synagogue there was a man possessed by the spirit of an unclean demon. He cried out in a loud voice,

34“Woowe! Otulanga ki, ggwe Yesu ow’e Nazaaleesi? Ozze kutuzikiriza? Nze nkumanyi, ggwe mutukuvu wa Katonda.”“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!”

35Yesu n’amuboggolera ng’agamba nti, “Sirika! Muveeko!” Awo dayimooni n’asuula eri omusajja wansi wakati mu bantu, n’amuvaako nga tamulumizza.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.

36Buli muntu n’atya nnyo nga bwe beebuuzaganya nti, “Kigambo ki kino? Kubanga alagira n’obuyinza n’amaanyi emyoyo emibi ne giva mu muntu, ekireetera ne dayimooni okumugondera.”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!”

37Amawulire agakwata ku Yesu ne gabuna mu kitundu ekyo kyonna ekyetoolodde awo.And the news about Jesus spread throughout the surrounding region.

38Awo Yesu bwe yava mu kkuŋŋaaniro, n’alaga mu maka ga Simooni. Yasanga nnyina mukazi wa Simooni omusujja gumuluma nnyo, abantu ne bamwegayiririra ku lulwe.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,

39Yesu n’ayimirira okumpi n’omulwadde we yali, n’alagira omusujja gumuwoneko, amangwago omulwadde n’awona, n’asituka n’abaweereza!and He stood over her and rebuked the fever, and it left her. And she got up at once and began to serve them.

40Obudde bwe bwali buwungeera, abantu bonna abaalina abalwadde ab’endwadde eza buli ngeri, ne babaleeta eri Yesu, n’abassaako emikono buli omu n’amuwonya.At sunset, all who were ill with various diseases were brought to Jesus, and laying His hands on each one, He healed them.

41Abamu baaliko baddayimooni, Yesu n’abalagira ne bava ku balwadde nga bwe baleekaana nti, “Ggwe Mwana wa Katonda.” Naye kubanga baamumanya nga ye Kristo, n’atabaganya kukyogerako.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.

42Bwe bwakya Yesu n’alaga mu kifo etali bantu. Ekibiina ky’abantu ne bamunoonya, okutuusa lwe baamulaba ne balaga gy’ali ne bamwegayirira aleme kubavaako.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.

43Naye n’abaddamu nti, “Kinsaanira okubuulira Enjiri y’obwakabaka bwa Katonda ne mu bifo ebirala kubanga eyo y’ensonga kyenava ntumibwa.”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.”

44Yesu ne yeeyongera okubuulira mu makuŋŋaaniro gaabwe mu Buyudaaya.And He continued to preach in the synagogues of Judea.
