Luke 4 (SBS) · Opened

1Linu Jesu, chokwi zula Luhuho Lujolola, hakazwa kulwizi lwa Jodani, mi ava yendiswe Luhuho mwi halaupa.Then Jesus, full of the Holy Spirit, returned from the Jordan and was led by the Spirit into the wilderness,

2havena mazuva ena makumi one nalikiwa kwa javulusi. Kakwina cha va lile mwao mazuva, mi kuma manisilizo eyo inako chava fwile inzala.where for forty days He was tempted by the devil. He ate nothing during those days, and when they had ended, He was hungry.

3Javulusi cha wamba kwali, “Haiva u Mwana we Ireza, ulaele ilibwe ive chinkwa.”The devil said to Him, “If You are the Son of God, tell this stone to become bread.”

4Jesu cha mwitava, “Kuñoletwe, Muntu kahali vulyo ha chinkwa.”But Jesus answered, “It is written: ‘Man shall not live on bread alone.’”

5Linu javulusi cha mutwala ha chivaka chile, ni ku mutondeza mivuso yonse ye inkanda hohwaho vulyo.Then the devil led Him up to a high place and showed Him in an instant all the kingdoms of the world.

6Javulusi cha wamba kwali, “Ka ni kuhe vuyendisi bwe inkanda ni vulotu vonse, kakuti zivahewa kwangu, mi ni wola kuziha yense unisaka.“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.

7haiva chiwani kuvamela ni kuni kunkwila muive yako.”So if You worship me, it will all be Yours.”

8Jesu che tava cha muti, Kuñoletwe, mo kunkwile Simwine Ireza, mi hape mo mutendele yenke.”But Jesus answered, “It is written: ‘Worship the Lord your God and serve Him only.’”

9Linu javulusi cheza kutwala Jesu mwa Jerusalema niku muvika ha chivaka chichilelele cha muzako we tempele, mi chati kwali, “Heiva u Mwana we Ireza, lisohele hansi kuzwa hanu.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.

10“Kakuti ku ñoletwe, mwa laele ma ñiloi akwe, a amana niwe, aku vukeleze,For it is written: ‘He will command His angels concerning You to guard You carefully,

11mi hape, 'Ka akunyemune muma yanza ao, kuti kenzu u chunchuli itende lyako hebwe.”'and they will lift You up in their hands, so that You will not strike Your foot against a stone.’”

12Kuku mwitava, Jesu chati, “Ku wambitwe, 'Kenzu viki Simwine Ireza wako hakulikwa.”'But Jesus answered, “It also says, ‘Do not put the Lord your God to the test.’”

13Cwale javulusi ha mana kulika Jesu, cheza ku musiya ni kuyenda haisi imwi inako.When the devil had finished every temptation, he left Him until an opportune time.

14Linu Jesu havola mwa Galilea muziho zo Luhuho, indava zi amana naye chize zulankana ku zimbuluka chikiliti chonse.Jesus returned to Galilee in the power of the Spirit, and the news about Him spread throughout the surrounding region.

15Mi chatanga ku luta mu ma sinagoge avo mi vonse chi va mutemba.He taught in their synagogues and was glorified by everyone.

16Cha keza mwa Nazareta, mwi tolopo mwa va kulili, mi sina ha i vali chizo chakwe, cheza mu ma sinagoge i va li zuva lya la Mugivelo, sina ha i vali chizo, cha zima ni ku vala cha ku huweleza.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,

17Imbuka ya mupolofita Isaya iva hewa kwali, che yalula imbuka ni kuwana chi vaka hai va ñoletwe,the scroll of the prophet Isaiah was handed to Him. Unrolling it, He found the place where it was written:

18Luhuho lwa Simwene lwina hangu, kakuti a vani singi ku wamba makande malotu ku va shevete. A va ni tumi ku nkonkelza intukuluho ku va suminwe, ku lukulula va lyatililwe, mi ni ku vo zekeza ku vona ku va sa voni,“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,

19ni ku konkeleza chi limo cha Simwine che nshemuvo.”to proclaim the year of the Lord’s favor.”

20Che yala imbuka, ni ku i voza ku ya vali muvavaleli ne kala hansi. Menso a vonse va vena mu ma sinagoge a va lolete vulyo hali.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,

21Chatanga ku wamba ku vali, “Sunu i intimana chi ye zuzilikizwa ni mu zuwile.”and He began by saying, “Today this Scripture is fulfilled in your hearing.”

22Vonse mwateni chi va va paka ku zavali ku wamba mi chiva komokiswa cha manzwi e zwile chishemo avali ku zwa mukaholo kakwe. Va vali ku wamba, “Uzu mwana Josefa wa muswisu, nandi kanjeye?”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.

23Cha wamba ku vali, “Cheniti ka muwambe iyi inguli kwangu, 'Iñanga, lihoze u mwine. Zonse zitu va zuwi zo va pangi mwa Kapenaumi, pange zi swana ni mu munzi we tolopo yako.”'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.’”

24Kono cha wamba, “Ni mi wa mbila vu niti kakwina mupolofita yo tambulwa mwi tolopo munzi we tolopo yakwe.Then He added, “Truly I tell you, no prophet is accepted in his hometown.

25Kono mu vuniti ni mi wambila ku vena vafwililwe vangi mwa Isilaele mwinako ya Eliya, i wulu hali ve yalite zilimo zotatwe ni myezi i ma na iyanza ni chonke, chi kweza inanga ikando mu chi vaka chonse.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.

26kono Eliya kena ava tumwa nanga ku umwina wavo, konji kwa Zarefasi mwa Sidoni, ku yo fwililwe ya vali kwi kala mwateni.Yet Elijah was not sent to any of them, but to the widow of Zarephath in Sidon.

27Kuvali kwina ve mbingwa vangi mwa Isilaele mwi nako ya Elisha mupolofita, kono ka kwina kuvali ya va hozwa kwande ya Namani mwina Siriya.”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.”

28Vonse vantu va vena mu ma sinagoge chi ve zula kuvenga hava zuwa izi zintu.On hearing this, all the people in the synagogue were enraged.

29Chiva zimana, ni ku mu hambiliza kuzwa mwi tolopo. Chiva muhitisa ku mu vika ku impela ya chiwulu hava za kitwe itolopo yavo, kuti va musohele he impela ya chiwulu.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.

30Kono cha va hita hakati kavo mi chaya ku chimwi chi vaka.But Jesus passed through the crowd and went on His way.

31Linu cha na sezumukela mwa Kapenaumi, mwi tolopo ya Galileya, mi ava tangi kuva luta ivali la Mugivelo.Then He went down to Capernaum, a town in Galilee, and on the Sabbath He began to teach the people.

32Va va komokiswa mulutilo wakwe, kakuti ava wambi ni vuyendisi.They were astonished at His teaching, because His message had authority.

33Hanu mu masinagoge ku vena mukwame ya vena i dimona-luhuho lusajololi, mi chahuweleza ahulu cha linzwi.In the synagogue there was a man possessed by the spirit of an unclean demon. He cried out in a loud voice,

34“Mawe! tuswanela kupanganzi nawe, Jesu wa Nazareta? Wakeza ku ku tusinyasinya? Ni kwizi kuti njiweni- Yenke yo Jolola wa Ireza.”“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!”

35Jesu cha kalimela i dimona, chikuti, “Kenzu wambi zwe mukati kakwe!” Cwale aho i dimona li va soheli mukwame hansi mukati kavo, chilyazwa mukati kakwe, mi kena liva muholofazi ni hakuva vulyo.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 vonse va va komokwa ahulu, chi va zwila havusu ku wamba zateni zumwi ku zumwi. Chivati, “Kanti manzwi amushovo nzi aa? U laela luhuho lusajololi che nkamaiso ni ziho mi zi zwa.”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!”

37Linu makande aa amana naye chi atanga kwi zivankana zivaka ku zimbuluka chikiliti.And the news about Jesus spread throughout the surrounding region.

38Linu Jesu chazwa mu ma sinagoge ni kwinjila munzuvo ya Simoni. Hanu makwenyani va Simoni va chanakazi va vakatezwe vutuku bwa kuhisa muvili (isinza), mi chiva mu kumbila cha kuli kombeleza kachakwe.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,

39Linu chazima hali ni ku kalimela isinza, mi nilya musiya. Haho vulyo cha zimana ni kutanga ku vatendela.and He stood over her and rebuked the fever, and it left her. And she got up at once and began to serve them.

40Izuva ha limina, vantu chivaleta vonse va vali kulwala matuku avali ku chinchana chinchana kwa Jesu. Chavika mayanza akwe havali vonse ni kuva hoza.At sunset, all who were ill with various diseases were brought to Jesus, and laying His hands on each one, He healed them.

41Madimona nao chiazwa muvantu vangi, ni a lila kuhuwa mi nati, “Njewe Mwana we Ireza!” Jesu cha kalimela madimona, mi kena ava azuminini ku wamba, kakuti a vezi kuti ivali nji Kirisite.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.

42Izuva haliza ku zwa, chazwa ni kuya ku chivaka chili patite. Chisi cha vantu chi vali kumu lola chi cheza ku chi vaka kwavena. Chi va lika ku mukanisa kuti kanzi azwi havali.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.

43Kono chati kuvali, ni swanela ku wamba makande malotu omu muvuso we Ireza ku matolopo mangi, kakuti njivaka hani ni vaka tumwa kunu.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.”

44Linu cha zwila havusu ku kutaza mu ma sinagoge mane konse kwa Judeya.And He continued to preach in the synagogues of Judea.
