Luke 4 (MWE) · Opened

1A Yeshu gubhabhujile kopoka ku lushi lwa Yolodani, bhali bhagumbelwe Mbumu jwa Ukonjelo, gubhalongweywe naka Mbumu jwa Ukonjelo mpaka kuanga.Then Jesus, full of the Holy Spirit, returned from the Jordan and was led by the Spirit into the wilderness,

2Kweneko gubhalinjilwe naka Lishetani kwa mobha makumi nsheshe. Gene mobha gowego bhangalya shoshowe, kungai gubhaipilikene shibhanga.where for forty days He was tempted by the devil. He ate nothing during those days, and when they had ended, He was hungry.

3Penepo Lishetani gwabhabhalanjile, “Ibhaga mmwe nni Mwana jwa a Nnungu, nnyuye liganga lino libhe nkate.”The devil said to Him, “If You are the Son of God, tell this stone to become bread.”

4A Yeshu gubhannjangwile, “Ishijandikwa. ‘Mundu akalamila nkatepe.’ ”But Jesus answered, “It is written: ‘Man shall not live on bread alone.’”

5Kungai Lishetani gwabhakweshiye kunani kaje, akwaalangulaga upalume gwa ilambo yowe gwanakamope.Then the devil led Him up to a high place and showed Him in an instant all the kingdoms of the world.

6Lishetani gwashite “Shinimpe ntagwale yene ilambo yowei, na indu yakwe yowe pabha njipegwa yowei, mbingaga kumpa mundu ngunakombola.“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.

7Yene yowei shiibhe yenu nndindibhalilaga.”So if You worship me, it will all be Yours.”

8A Yeshu gubhannjangwile, “Ishijandikwa, ‘Mwaatindibhalile Bhakulungwa a Nnungu bhenu, Na kwaakamulila maengo bhenebho jikape.’ ”But Jesus answered, “It is written: ‘Worship the Lord your God and serve Him only.’”

9Lishetani gwabhalongweye kwenda ku Yelushalemu, gwabhakweshiye kunani nnala gwa Liekalu, gwabhalugulile, “Ibhaga mmwe nni Mwana jwa a Nnungu mwigwiye pai,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.

10pabha ishijandikwa. ‘Shibhaamulishanje ashimalaika bha kunnungu, kukumpa ulinda,’For it is written: ‘He will command His angels concerning You to guard You carefully,

11Kabhili, ‘Shibhannjigalanje mmakono gabhonji, Nnakwiikubhala lukongono nniganga.’ ”and they will lift You up in their hands, so that You will not strike Your foot against a stone.’”

12Ikabheje a Yeshu gubhannjangwile, “Ishijandikwa, ‘Nnaalinje bhakulungwa a Nnungu bhenu.’”But Jesus answered, “It also says, ‘Do not put the Lord your God to the test.’”

13Lishetani akabhalinjeje kila muutendelo, gwabhaleshile kwa malanga gashoko.When the devil had finished every temptation, he left Him until an opportune time.

14Penepo a Yeshu gubhabhujile ku Galilaya bhalilongoywa kwa mashili ga Mbumu jwa Ukonjelo, na ngani jabho gujishumile ku Galilaya na ilambo yowe ya tome.Jesus returned to Galilee in the power of the Spirit, and the news about Him spread throughout the surrounding region.

15Bhenebho bhatendaga jiganya bhandu mmashinagogi gabhonji, na bhowe gubhaalumbililenje.He taught in their synagogues and was glorified by everyone.

16Bhai, a Yeshu gubhapite ku Nashaleti, kubhalelelwe, na malinga shibhayobhelele, Lyubha lya Pumulila gubhajinjile Nshinagogi. Gubhajimi kupinga bhashome Majandiko ga Ukonjelo.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,

17Gubhaposhele shitabhu sha a Ishaya ankulondola, gubhashiunukwile gubhapaimene pajandishwe.the scroll of the prophet Isaiah was handed to Him. Unrolling it, He found the place where it was written:

18“Mbumu jwa Bhakulungwa pali na nne, Pabha bhashing'agula Naapeleshelanje bhalaga Ngani ja Mmbone. Bhashinduma naalungushiyanje bhatabhilwenje kuleshelelwa kwabhonji, Na ashinangalole bhalolanje, Na kwaagombolanga bhabhonelwanga,“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 kulunguya shaka sha uguja gwa Bhakulungwa.”to proclaim the year of the Lord’s favor.”

20Gubhaunishile shitabhu shila gubhampele ntumishi nigubhatemi, bhandunji bhowe bhalinginji nshinagogi mula gubhaakolondolesheyenje meyo.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,

21Nigubhatandwibhe kwa kwaabhalanjilanga, “Lelo gene Majandikoga gamalile nnipilikananga.”and He began by saying, “Today this Scripture is fulfilled in your hearing.”

22Bhowe gubhalumbililenje na kanganigwa kwa malobhe ga mmbone gubhatayaga a Yeshu, gubhashitenje, “Bhuli jweneju nngabha mwanagwabho a Yoshepu?”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.

23A Yeshu gubhaajangwilenje, “Nimumanyi shimmalanjilanje lutango lwa kuti, ‘Mmitela ilamye gwamwene,’ nakabhili shimmalanjilanje, ‘Yowe itupilikene ishitendeka ku Kapalanaumu ntende na pa shilambo shenu pano.’ ”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.’”

24Gubhapundile kubheleketa bhalinkuti, kweli ngunakummalanjilanga jwakwapi nkulondola akundwa pa shilambo shakwe.Then He added, “Truly I tell you, no prophet is accepted in his hometown.

25Ikabheje mpilikananje, kweli ngunakummalanjilanga! Yaka ya a Eliya bhashinkupagwanga bhashitenga bhabhagwinji nshilambo sha Ishilaeli. Gene mobhago ula janganya yaka itatu na nushu, gushikoposhele shibhanga sha punda shilambo showe.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.

26Nkali nneyo a Eliya bhangatumwa kuka nshitenga jojowe, ikabhe kuka jwankongwe nshitenga jwa ku Sheleputa shilambo sha Shidoni.Yet Elijah was not sent to any of them, but to the widow of Zarephath in Sidon.

27Na kabhili, bhapalinji bhamangundula bhabhagwinji yaka ya ankulondola a Elisha nshilambo sha Ishilaeli. Nkali nneyo jwakwapi jojowe alamiywe, ikabhe a Naamani bhandu bha ku Shilia.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.”

28Bhowe bhalinginji nshinagogi mula gubhatumbelenje kwa kaje bhakapilikananjeje genego.On hearing this, all the people in the synagogue were enraged.

29Gubhajimingene, gubhaakukulumyenje a Yeshu nshilambo shabhonji shashenjilwe pantundu shitumbi, gubhaapelekenje mpaka nnushingu nkupinga bhaanokolelanje nnikote.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.

30Ikabheje a Yeshu gubhapitile pakati jabhonji pepo, nigubhaijabhulile.But Jesus passed through the crowd and went on His way.

31Kungai a Yeshu gubhaelele mpaka ku Kapalanaumu shilambo sha ku Galilaya, Lyubha lya Pumulila bhatendaga jiganya bhandu.Then He went down to Capernaum, a town in Galilee, and on the Sabbath He began to teach the people.

32Gubhakanganigwenje kwa majiganyo gabho pabha bhatendaga bheleketa mbuti mundu akwete ukulungwa.They were astonished at His teaching, because His message had authority.

33Na Nshinagogi mula ashinkupagwa mundu ashinkushikilwa na lioka jwa nyata gwajobhele alinkutiIn the synagogue there was a man possessed by the spirit of an unclean demon. He cried out in a loud voice,

34“Ntuleshe, tukwete nndi na mmwe a Yeshu Bhanashaleti? Bhuli nshikwiya kutumaliya? Nne nimmanyi mmwe agani. Mmwe ni Mundu jwa ukonjelo jwa a Nnungu.”“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!”

35A Yeshu gubhankalipile lioka jula bhalinkuti “Pumula! Nsheshe munduju!” Bhai lioka jula akanngwiyeje mundu jula pai bhandu bhowe bhalilolesheyanga, ni gwanshoshile gwangali kumpoteka wala kashoko.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.

36Bhandu bhowe gubhakanganigwenje, gubhabhalanjilenenje. “Genega majiganyo gashi, kwa ukulungwa na mashili bhanakwaabhalanjilanga ashimaoka bhangali bha mmbone bhanshoshekanje mundu, na inatendeka!”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!”

37Ngani ja a Yeshu jikushumaga mmbali yowe.And the news about Jesus spread throughout the surrounding region.

38A Yeshu gubhakopweshe Nshinagogi, gubhapite kunngwabho a Shimoni. Bhakongwe bhamo akwebhabho a Shimoni bhatendaga sheluka kwa kaje, gubhaajujilenje bhaalamye.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,

39A Yeshu gubhajinjile nikwaakotimila bhalwele bhala, nikushikalipila shilwele shila, gushaashoshile. Shangupe bhakongwe bhala gubhajinwishe, gubhatandwibhe kwaatumishilanga.and He stood over her and rebuked the fever, and it left her. And she got up at once and began to serve them.

40Pulyatitimilaga lyubha, bhandu bhowe bhakwetenje bhalwelenji bha ilwele yoyowe ila gubhaapelekenje kwa a Yeshu, nabhalabho gubhaakwashiyenje na makono, gubhaalamienje bhowe.At sunset, all who were ill with various diseases were brought to Jesus, and laying His hands on each one, He healed them.

41Bhandu bhabhagwinji gugaashoshilenje maoka gangali ga mmbone akuno galijobhela, “Mmwe Bhanabhabho a Nnungu.” Ikabheje a Yeshu gubhagakalipile, bhangagaleka gabhelekete, pabha gaamanyi kuti bhenebho a Kilishitu.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.

42Malabhi gakwe lyamba a Yeshu gubhajawile gubhapite kujika. Lugwinjili lwa bhandu lwatendaga kwaloleya. Bhakaaimananjeje, gubhalinjilenje kwaibhilila bhanajabhule.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.

43Ikabheje bhalabho gubhaajangulenje, “Ngunapinjikwa kulunguya Ngani ja Mmbone ja Upalume gwa a Nnungu nneila peila na muilambo ina, pabha njitumwa kwa ligongo lya genego.”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.”

44Gubhapundile kulunguya mmashinagogi ga ku Galilaya.And He continued to preach in the synagogues of Judea.
