Luke 4 (NKN) · Opened

1Yesu hakushula na Cimbembesi ca kulela, uahumine ku Ndonga ya Yundau, kaha Cimbembesi camutuamenenene mu mpambo,Then Jesus, full of the Holy Spirit, returned from the Jordan and was led by the Spirit into the wilderness,

2kuje Satana uakamuesekele matangua makumi auana. Ha ntsimbu ije yoshe Yesu kalile nacimo cahi, omo matangua aje ahuile, kaha uovuile 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.

3Kaha Satana uahandekele kuli ikeye nguendi, “Nga u Muna Njambi shika livue eli linga lilihimpule mbolo.”The devil said to Him, “If You are the Son of God, tell this stone to become bread.”

4Vuno honi Yesu uamukumbuluile nguendi, “Vanavisoneka mu Visoneka nguavo, ‘Muntu kasa kuyoya na mbolo lika kuahi.’ ”But Jesus answered, “It is written: ‘Man shall not live on bread alone.’”

5Kaha Satana ualondesele Yesu helu lia munkinda ualaha, kaha uamumuesele muka ntsimbu kakandende vumuene vuoshe vuahano ha mavu.Then the devil led Him up to a high place and showed Him in an instant all the kingdoms of the world.

6Kaha Satana uahandekele kuli ikeye nguendi, “Njikakuhana vumuene ovu na vufuko vuoshe vilimo, omuo vanjihanavio, kaha njikavihana kuli uoshe uje injitonda.“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.

7Nga unjilemesa, kaha vioshe evi vikapua viove.”So if You worship me, it will all be Yours.”

8Yesu uahandekele kuli ikeye nguendi, “Vanavisoneka mu Visoneke nguavo, ‘Ukalemesa Muene Njambi yove, ikeye lika iukapangela!’”But Jesus answered, “It is written: ‘Worship the Lord your God and serve Him only.’”

9Kaha Satana uamutualele ku Yelusalema, uamuhakele ha kashongua ka njivo ya Muene Njambi, uahandekele kuli ikeye nguendi, “Nga u Muna Njambi, liumbile ha mavu kuhuma kuno kuilu,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.

10omuo vanavisoneka mu Visoneka nguavo, ‘Njambi akashika tungelo vendi na kukuniunga.’For it is written: ‘He will command His angels concerning You to guard You carefully,

11Kaha vanavisoneka mu Visoneka naua nguavo, ‘Vakakukuata, linga viliato viove keti vikatsutsuke ku livue.’ ”and they will lift You up in their hands, so that You will not strike Your foot against a stone.’”

12Vuno honi Yesu uahandekele kuli ikeye nguendi, “Vanavisoneka mu Visoneka nguavo, ‘Keti ueseke Muene Njambi yove.’ ”But Jesus answered, “It also says, ‘Do not put the Lord your God to the test.’”

13Omo Satana uamanesele kueseka Yesu mu vingila vioshe, kaha uamusezele noho hakauana ntsimbu ikuavo.When the devil had finished every temptation, he left Him until an opportune time.

14Kaha Yesu uahilukile ku Ngalileya, na nzili ya Cimbembesi ca kulela yakele muli ikeye. Kaha muzimbu uendi uatsimanene mu nganda yoshe ya Ngalileya.Jesus returned to Galilee in the power of the Spirit, and the news about Him spread throughout the surrounding region.

15Yesu uavalongesele mu vinjivo viavo via malombelo, kaha voshe vamushangazalele.He taught in their synagogues and was glorified by everyone.

16Yesu uaile ku Nazaleta, kuje kuakolelele, kaha uakovelele mu njivo ya malombelo ha litangua lia Sapalalo ngue ku cilika cendi. Kaha uemanene na kutanda Visoneka.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,

17Vamuhanene livulu lia sonekele Isaya Kananguizi ua Njambi. Kaha uazengunuine lije livulu liakuzenga, uauanene ha mutambela uje uatondele kutanda. Kaha uatandele nguendi,the scroll of the prophet Isaiah was handed to Him. Unrolling it, He found the place where it was written:

18“Cimbembesi ca Muene Njambi cili muli yange, omuo nanjihangula kuambulula Muzimbu ua Cili kuli vihutu. Nanjitumu kuambulula linga vinzinda vaka vapatule, nakuambulula linga tupuputua vakamone, nakunjituma kupatula vaje vavali nakuyandesa,“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,

19nakunjituma kuambulula ngeci ntsimbu inahete ya kavumbi ka Muene Njambi ku vantu vendi.”to proclaim the year of the Lord’s favor.”

20Yesu uazengele lije livulu, ualihanene naua kuli muka kuniunga, kaha uatumamene. Vantu voshe vakele muje mu njivo ya malombelo vamutalele ntooma,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,

21kaha uahandekele kuli vakevo nguendi, “Visoneka evi lelo vinapuisamo ku mesho eni, ngue omo munovu vanakele nakulitanda.”and He began by saying, “Today this Scripture is fulfilled in your hearing.”

22Kaha voshe vamushangazalele, valikomokelele ku mezi endi acili aje ahandekele, vahandekele nguavo, “Ou ikeye uje muna Yosefa ndi?”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.

23Kaha uahandekele kuli vakevo nguendi, “Mua vusunga mukanjitela cisimo eci ngueni, ‘Ove cimbanda likanguise yove vavenia!’ Cimukalumbununa cikapua ngueni, ‘Yove linga viuma vioshe muno muimbo liove, vijevene vituovuile viualingile mu Capenama.’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.’”

24Mua vusunga njimileka, naumo uahi kananguizi ua Njambi ivakatava muimbo liendi.Then He added, “Truly I tell you, no prophet is accepted in his hometown.

25Vuno honi muavusunga njimileka mu lifuti lietu lia Isaleli muakele vantuluue vavengi ha matangua a Eliya kananguizi ua Njambi, omo kalunga kanokele miaka itatu na vingonde vitanu na imo naua honi kuakele njala mu lifuti lioshe.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.

26Eliya kuvamutumine kuli voshe, vuno honi kuli ntuluue uje keti Kayunda uje uakele mu limbo lia Zelefani kuyehi na mbonge ya Sindone.Yet Elijah was not sent to any of them, but to the widow of Zarephath in Sidon.

27Kuakele vantu vavengi vakele nakuvavala mbumba mu Isaleli ha ntsimbu ya Elisha kananguizi ua Njambi, vuno honi naumo uahi yakanguisile kuvanga lika Namane keti Kayunda uaku Silia.”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.”

28Omo vantu vaje vakele mu njivo ya malombelo vazivile evi, vakele na litoto.On hearing this, all the people in the synagogue were enraged.

29Vakatukile, kaha vakokelele Yesu hambaza ya nganda, vamutualele kuntsongo ya munkinda haje ha vatungile nganda yavo. Vatondele ngeci vakamumbile mu cimbongo.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.

30Kaha uahitile mukati kavo nakuya.But Jesus passed through the crowd and went on His way.

31Yesu uaile ku Kapenama, mbonge ya mu Ngalileya, kuje uakalongesele vantu lia Sapalalo.Then He went down to Capernaum, a town in Galilee, and on the Sabbath He began to teach the people.

32Vantu voshe vakomokele cikuma kuambulula nguendi, omuo mezi endi akele na nzili.They were astonished at His teaching, because His message had authority.

33Kaha mu njivo ya malombelo muakele yala umo uakele na Cimbembesi ca kujuala, catambekele cikuma.In the synagogue there was a man possessed by the spirit of an unclean demon. He cried out in a loud voice,

34“Haa! Yove Yesu uaku Nazaleta utonda kulinga vika kuno netu? Uneja nakutunongesa ndi? Nja kutantekeya yove uapua umo Uakulela ua Njambi!”“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!”

35Kaha honi Yesu uashikile Cimbembesi ca kujuala nguendi, “Kuluu huma muli muntu ou!” Kaha cije Cimbembesi ca kujuala cauisilile uje yala ha mavu ku mesho avo voshe, kaha ca humine muli ikeye kuakuhona kumuvetuesa.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.

36Vantu voshe valikomokelele cikuma vaputukile kulihandekesa umo na mukuavo nguavo, “Majui muka aua? Muntu ou hali na nzili ya kushika vimbembesi via kujuala kaha vimuivuila.”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!”

37Kaha vialingile vioshe viovuikile mu cihela ca lifuti lije.And the news about Jesus spread throughout the surrounding region.

38Kaha Yesu uahumine mu njivo ya malombelo uaile ku njivo ya Simoni. Uauanene vainamueno ya Simoni vavavala lisika sika liakama cikuma. Valombele Yesu linga amukangule.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,

39Kaha Yesu uaile kuli ikeye nakumukotamena, kaha uashikile lije lisika sika kuhua kaha uakangukile na kuimana nakuputuka kuvapangela via kulia.and He stood over her and rebuked the fever, and it left her. And she got up at once and began to serve them.

40Hakulahuka kua litangua, voshe vaje vakele na mishongo yakuli sezaseza vavanehele kuli Yesu, voshe uavahakele mavoko na kuvakanguisa.At sunset, all who were ill with various diseases were brought to Jesus, and laying His hands on each one, He healed them.

41Kaha vimbembesi via kujuala naua via huminemo mu vantu vavengi na kutambeka nguavio, “Yove u Muna Njambi!” Vuno honi ikeye uashikile vimbembesi via kujuala ngeci keti vihandeka nacimo cahi naua, omuo vikevio viamutantekeyele nguavio ikeye Kilistu.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.

42Omo kuacele Yesu uatuhukile, nakuya kuali kaliendi lika. Vantu vaputukile kumutondezeka, omo vamuuanene vatondele kumuvindika ngeci keti ahume kuli vakevo.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.

43Vuno honi uahandekele kuli vakevo nguendi, “Njapande kuambulula Muzimbu Viacili via vumuene vua Njambi mu vimbonge vieka naua, omuo evi vikevo via njitumine kulinga Njambi.”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.”

44Uakele na kuambulula mu vinjivo via malombelo via Njambi vioshe viamu Yundeya.And He continued to preach in the synagogues of Judea.
