Luke 4 (XNJ) · Opened

1Yesu akahuma ku Yoludani, kuni amemiswi Mpungu Msopi na kalongoswa nayu kuhamba kulugangatu.Then Jesus, full of the Holy Spirit, returned from the Jordan and was led by the Spirit into the wilderness,

2Kwenuko Setani amlingili kwa magono alobaini. Magono genago goha atamili changalya chindu, pamwishu njala yikamuvina.where for forty days He was tempted by the devil. He ate nothing during those days, and when they had ended, He was hungry.

3Setani akamjovela, “Ngati veve Mwana wa Chapanga, lijovela liganga lenili livya libumunda.”The devil said to Him, “If You are the Son of God, tell this stone to become bread.”

4Yesu akamyangula, “Mayandiku Gamsopi gijova, wumi wa mundu uvi lepi ndava ya kulya libumunda lene.”But Jesus answered, “It is written: ‘Man shall not live on bread alone.’”

5Kangi mzuka mkulu akamtola mbaka panani neju, kugubika na kugubukula mihu, ndi akamlangisa unkosi woha weuvili pamulima poha.Then the devil led Him up to a high place and showed Him in an instant all the kingdoms of the world.

6Penapo Setani akamjovela, “Yati nikupela kutalalila vindu vyoha ivi na ukulu waki woha. Muni nipewili vindu ivi vyoha, na nene ngati nigana yati nikumpela mundu yoyoha nihotola kumpela.“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.

7Yati nikupela ivi vyoha, ngati unifugamila.”So if You worship me, it will all be Yours.”

8Yesu akamyangula, “Mayandiku Gamsopi gijova. ‘Yati ukumfugamila Bambu Chapanga na kumhengela mwene ndu.’ ”But Jesus answered, “It is written: ‘Worship the Lord your God and serve Him only.’”

9Kangi Mzuka mkulu akamtola mbaka ku Yelusalemu na kuyima panani pa chituvilu cha Nyumba ya Chapanga, akamjovela, “Ngati veve wamwana wa Chapanga, jitagayi pahi.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.

10Muni Mayandiku Gamsopi gijova, ‘Chapanga yati akulagazila vamitumu va kunani vakuyangalila.’For it is written: ‘He will command His angels concerning You to guard You carefully,

11‘Kangi yati vakuyanga mu mawoko gavi, ukotoka kujikuvala chigendelu chaku muliganga.’ ”and they will lift You up in their hands, so that You will not strike Your foot against a stone.’”

12Nambu Yesu akamyangula, “Mayandiku Gamsopi gijova, ‘Kotoka kumulinga Bambu Chapanga waku.’ ”But Jesus answered, “It also says, ‘Do not put the Lord your God to the test.’”

13Setani mkulu peamali kumlinga Yesu kwa njila zoha, akamuleka kwa lukumbi.When the devil had finished every temptation, he left Him until an opportune time.

14Kwa kulongoswa na Mpungu msopi Yesu akahamba ku Galilaya. Na ujumbi waki ukadandasika ku Galilaya na mumilima yoha ya papipi.Jesus returned to Galilee in the power of the Spirit, and the news about Him spread throughout the surrounding region.

15Yesu avili mukuwula vandu munyumba za kukonganekela Vayawudi na kulumbiwa na vandu voha.He taught in their synagogues and was glorified by everyone.

16Yesu akahamba ku Nazaleti, pandu pealeliwi. Palahiki Ligono la Kupumulila, akayingila munyumba ya kukonganekela Vayawudi, ngati chayavili mvelu waki, akayima muni asomayi Mayandiku Gamsopi.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,

17Apewili chitabu cheayandiki Isaya mweavi mlota wa Chapanga, ndi akachitalambula na kulonda ndi apawene pandu pepayandikiwi.the scroll of the prophet Isaiah was handed to Him. Unrolling it, He found the place where it was written:

18“Mpungu wa Bambu uvi pamonga na nene, anihagwili nene ndava ya kuvakokosela vangangu Lilovi la Bwina. Anitumili nivakokosela vavanda kulekekeswa kwavi na vangalola vahotola kulola, anitumili nivasangulayi woha veving'ahiswa,“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,

19kukokosa mwaka wa Bambu yati ilangisa ubwina kwa vandu vaki.”to proclaim the year of the Lord’s favor.”

20Kangi, akachigubika chitabu akamuwuyisila mtumisi na kutama pahi. Vandu voha vevavi munyumba ya kukonganekela Vayawudi, vakamuhutusila mihu.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,

21Mwene akavajovela, “Lelu Mayandiku aga Gamsopi gahikili pemwaniyuwani penakasomili.”and He began by saying, “Today this Scripture is fulfilled in your hearing.”

22Vandu voha vakaganiswa nayu na kukangasa ndava ya Malovi gabwina geajovili. Vakakotana, “Wu, mwenuyu mwana wa Yosefu lepi?”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 akavajovela, “Nimanyili mukunijovela luhumu ulu, ‘Mlamisa, jilamisa wamwene. Goha getayuwini’ Gawakitili Kapelanaumu gala, Ugakitayi goha penapa pachijiji chaku.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.’”

24Akayendelela kuvajovela,” “Chakaka nikuvajovela, kawaka Mlota wa Chapanga, mweiyidakiliwa pachijiji chaki.”Then He added, “Truly I tell you, no prophet is accepted in his hometown.

25“Muyuwanila, chakaka nikuvajovela, vavi valipwela vamehele pamulima wa Isilaeli lukumbi lwa Eliya, lukumbi lwenulo yatonyi lepi fula kwa miyaka yidatu na miyehi sita, na kwavi na njala yivaha pamulima woha.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.

26Nambu Eliya atumiwi lepi kuhamba kwa lipwela yoyoha yula, ndi kwa lipwela mmonga mwaatamayi kumuji wa ku Selefati kumulima wa Sidoni.Yet Elijah was not sent to any of them, but to the widow of Zarephath in Sidon.

27Na mulukumbi lwa Elisha mweavi Mlota wa Chapanga, kwavi na vandu vamahele pamulima wa Isilaeli vevavi na mabudi, kawaka mundu mweanyambiswi, nga Naamani mwene, mundu wa ku 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.”

28Vandu voha vevavi munyumba ya kukonganekela vayawudi, pevayuwini genago, vayomili neju.On hearing this, all the people in the synagogue were enraged.

29Vakayima, vakamuhumisa kuvala ya muji na kumtola mbaka panani pamkingisa wa chitumbi. Ndava muji wavi wajengiwi pachitumbi, Muni vagana kumkang'ila pahi.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.

30Nambu Yesu akaholota pagati yavi, akahamba.But Jesus passed through the crowd and went on His way.

31Kangi Yesu akahelela kumuji wa ku Kapelanaumu, mulima wa Galilaya, na Ligono la Kupumulila avawulayi vandu.Then He went down to Capernaum, a town in Galilee, and on the Sabbath He began to teach the people.

32Vakakangasa na mawuliwu gaki, muni ujumbi waki wavi na uhotola.They were astonished at His teaching, because His message had authority.

33Hinu munyumba ya kukonganela Vayawudi mula, kwavi na mundu mweavi na mzuka uhakau, akavemba kwa lwami luvaha,In the synagogue there was a man possessed by the spirit of an unclean demon. He cried out in a loud voice,

34“Mwe! Yesu wa ku Nazaleti Una kyani na tete? Wu, ubweli kutikomakesa? Nene nikumanyili wayani veve, veve wa Msopi wa Chapanga!”“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 akauhakalila mzuka wula akajova, “Guna! Muwuka mundu uyu!” Ndi mzuka wula ukamugwisa pahi palongolo ya vandu, ukamuhuma changalemasa.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.

36Vandu voha vakavya kukangasa, vakajovesana, “Lenili liwulo la chinamtiti, Mundu uyu anauhotola na makakala ya kuvinga mizuka na yene yiwuka!”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!”

37Na mambu ga Yesu gakadandasika pandu poha penapo.And the news about Jesus spread throughout the surrounding region.

38Yesu peahumili munyumba ya kukonganekela Vayawudi mula, akahamba kunyumba ya Simoni. Kwenuko mau mmonga mweavi mkohanu waki Simoni, avi na utamu neju, vakamjovela Yesu amulamisa.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, akahamba, akamgundamila mau yula, akauhakalila utamu ula, balapala mau yula akalama, akayimuka na akatumbula kuvatelekela.and He stood over her and rebuked the fever, and it left her. And she got up at once and began to serve them.

40Palatipimi lilanga, mundu yeyoha mweavili na mtamu, wa utamu wowoa wula, ampeliki kwa Yesu, na mwene akampamisa mawoko kila mtamu, na kuvalamisa woha.At sunset, all who were ill with various diseases were brought to Jesus, and laying His hands on each one, He healed them.

41Mizuka na yene, yavahumili vandu vamahele, yikaywanga cha kujova, “Veve Mwana waki Chapanga!” Nambu Yesu akayibesa mizuka kujova, muni gammanyili mwene ndi Kilisitu msangula mweahaguliwi na Chapanga.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.

42Chilau yaki lukela Yesu akawuka akahamba pandu pachiepela. Vandu vakavya kumulonda, pavamuweni valingili kumbesa akotoka kuwuka.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.

43Nambu mwene akavajovela, “Niganikiwi kukokosa na kumiji yingi mewa Lilovi la Bwina la Unkosi wa Chapanga. Ndava muni chenichi ndi Chapanga chaanitumili nihengayi.”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.”

44Ndi akayendelela kukokosa vandu Lilovi la Bwina munyumba za kukonganekela Vayawudi pamulima wa ku Yudea.And He continued to preach in the synagogues of Judea.
