Luke 4 (YAF) · Opened

1Yesu, ha kálubuka mu nzadi Yolutani, wubasi yi Kitembu kyatoma, yandi wumunatisi mu nganga.Then Jesus, full of the Holy Spirit, returned from the Jordan and was led by the Spirit into the wilderness,

2Kwakuna, kasala bilumbu makumaya, Satana wendi ndangu kamuhukumuna. Kakalaku dya keti kima, bilumbu meni byabina byosu, amana kunima nzala yimukwati.where for forty days He was tempted by the devil. He ate nothing during those days, and when they had ended, He was hungry.

3Hanga kiphidi-mutu wumuzimbwadi: «Kamba ngeyi Mwana Nzambi wena, zimbula kwena tadi dyadi dyakituka dipha!»The devil said to Him, “If You are the Son of God, tell this stone to become bread.”

4Yesu wumuvutwadi: «Básonika mu mukanda wa Nzambi: "Mutu kazingilaku lwesi mu mapha."»But Jesus answered, “It is written: ‘Man shall not live on bread alone.’”

5Kiphidi-mutu wumunati ha tunda, mu tangwa dimosi, wumusongidi bipfumu bya tsi byosu,Then the devil led Him up to a high place and showed Him in an instant all the kingdoms of the world.

6amana kiphidi-mutu wumuzimbwadi: «Yikuheka ngolu zoosu yi khembu ya luyalu lwa tsi yayi. Mu kyedika, meni báheka kiyeka kya bima bina byosu, yihánabya phi kwena mutu wuna thondi meni-meni.“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.

7Honi wapfukamina, byabi byosu bya ngeyi byakituka.»So if You worship me, it will all be Yours.”

8Yesu wumuvutwadi: «Básonika mu mukanda wa Nzambi: "Fukamina lwesi Pfumu Nzambi waku, yandi, yandi mosi lwesi wasadila."»But Jesus answered, “It is written: ‘Worship the Lord your God and serve Him only.’”

9Kiphidi-mutu wumunati hika ku Yelusalemi, wumunenginiki kuna kisoka kya mudilu wa nzu ya Nzambi amana wumuzimbwadi: «Honi ngeyi, wu Mwana wa Nzambi, ditsusula tuka haha yi hana tsi;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.

10Mukuma básonika mu mukanda wa Nzambi: "Nzambi kahána muswa kwena banzyo bandi ndangu bisa kulema."For it is written: ‘He will command His angels concerning You to guard You carefully,

11Amana phi "bakulela muna moku ma bawu ndangu kulu dyaku didikhukulaku ku tadi dimosi."»and they will lift You up in their hands, so that You will not strike Your foot against a stone.’”

12Yesu wumuvutwadi: «Básonika mu mukanda wa Nzambi: "Wamekaku Pfumu Nzambi waku."»But Jesus answered, “It also says, ‘Do not put the Lord your God to the test.’”

13Ha kásanda kuhukumuna Yesu, mitindu myosu, kunima, kiphidi-mutu wumusisi kikuma kya tangwa dya hika.When the devil had finished every temptation, he left Him until an opportune time.

14Yesu, wabasa yi ngolu za Kitembu Kyatoma, wávutuka ku Ngadidi. Khululuka ya khumbu ya Yesu, yáyalangana muna mulambu wa Ngadidi wosu.Jesus returned to Galilee in the power of the Spirit, and the news about Him spread throughout the surrounding region.

15Kwakuna, kakala longa mu nzu za kimvuka za Bayuta amana mutu wosu kakala muzatula.He taught in their synagogues and was glorified by everyone.

16Yesu wénda ku Nazaleti, kuna kátsatsukila. Kilumbu kya sabata, wákota mu nzu ya kimvuka ya Bayuta bwosu kyákala kikalulu kyandi. Telami kikuma kya kutanga masonukuThen 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,

17amana bamuheki mukanda wa kuvunga kásonika mbikudi Yesaya. Hanga vungumuniwa, wumoni homa hana básonika:the scroll of the prophet Isaiah was handed to Him. Unrolling it, He found the place where it was written:

18"Kitembu kya Pfumu kyenina ha thandu ya meni, wátsita masi ndangu yinata Musamu wa Bukheti kwena baphutu. Wáthuma ndangu yisamuna kwena batu ba boloku ni lulubuki, kwena baphofu, ni bamóna hika wanga, kiphwanza kwena batu bena mu kihika,“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,

19kikuma yisamuna mvula ya mamboti ma Pfumu kwena batu."to proclaim the year of the Lord’s favor.”

20Kunima Yesu wávungawa mukanda, wuhekiwa kwena musadi amana wuzakadi. Batu boosu bakala mu nzu ya kimvuka ya Bayuta, bahungudi mesu kwena yandi.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,

21Hanga wuyandiki kubasamwana: «Masonuku mama, tutangi mu kitini kyaki, kwena benu, lelu malungidi.»and He began by saying, “Today this Scripture is fulfilled in your hearing.”

22Boosu báyandika kuta kimbangi kya bawu kikuma kya Yesu amana báyandika kuyituka ku mambu ma bukheti kakala zonza. Bakala zonza: «Yandu, ka mwana Yozefu ku?»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 wubazimbwadi: «Mu kyedika, kilumbu, lwathíla kingana kyaki: "Munganga, dibuka ngemeni." Lwanzímbwala hika: "Twáyuka mambu moosu wáhanga ku Kaphedinawuma, hangeti mambu mana, buthwena, mu mbanza ya ngemeni yayi."»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.’”

24Kunima, wukosikidini: «Mu kyedika yiluzimbwadi ni kweku mbikudi wisi lumina mu tsi yandi.Then He added, “Truly I tell you, no prophet is accepted in his hometown.

25Mu kyedika, yiluzimbwadi ni mu tangwa dya mbikudi Diya, bafwidi lawu bákala mu Kiseledi; zilu dyánokisaku mvula, mu mvula tatu yi ngonda sambanu, nzala lawu yákota muna mulambu wosu.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.

26Kinga, Nzambi, kámutumaku Diya kwena mosi wa bawu, kaasi kwena mufwidi mosi lwesi wuna wakala zingila ku hata dya Salepita, mu kinzunga kya Sitoni.Yet Elijah was not sent to any of them, but to the widow of Zarephath in Sidon.

27Kwákala phi yi bakwa bwasi balawu mu tangwa dya mbikudi Disa, mu Kiseledi; kinga keti mosi wa bawu kásemaku lutu, kaasi Namani, lwesi, mwisi Sidya wásema lutu.»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.”

28Ha báyuka ndinga meni zina, boosu bákala muna nzu ya kimvuka ya Bayuta, bahanga, bamingi.On hearing this, all the people in the synagogue were enraged.

29Bátelema, bamulubudi, Yesu, kufula dya mbanza amana bamunati ku londi dya mongu wuna bátunga Nazaleti, ndangu bamununguna ha tsi.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.

30Kaasi wubalwetuki hana kati wenda kwandi.But Jesus passed through the crowd and went on His way.

31Hanga, Yesu wénda ku Kaphedinawuma, mbanza ya Ngadidi; kakala longa malongi mandi mu kilumbu kya sabata.Then He went down to Capernaum, a town in Galilee, and on the Sabbath He began to teach the people.

32Batu bakala yituka mu phila kulonga kwandi, kikuma kakala zonza yi hamu.They were astonished at His teaching, because His message had authority.

33Mu nzu ya kimvuka ya Bayuta, mwákala yi mutu mosi bakala yangisa kwena kitembu kya mbi. Wakala kalunga:In the synagogue there was a man possessed by the spirit of an unclean demon. He cried out in a loud voice,

34«Ah! Yesu mwisi Nazaleti! Khi mambu ngeyi yi betu? Wisi ndangu watuzanga? Nzayi mboti keti nani wenina ngeyi: Watoma bátuma kwena Nzambi!»“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 wákayakya kitembu kina yi ngolu. Wuzonzi: «Dibata! Lubuka phi mwena mutu yandu!» Kitembu kya mbi kimubwisi ha tsi mutu wuna ku mesu ma batu boosu, amana kilubuki kwena yandi, konda kumuhanga kima kya mbi.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.

36Amana batu boosu bákala hana báyituka lawu bekadihyula bawu yi bawu: «Khi mutindu wa ndinga yana? Mutu yandu kabati hana muswa yi ngolu yi hamu amana bitembu bya mbi bilubuki!»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!”

37Amana khululuka ya Yesu yámwangana muna mulambu meni wawuna wosu.And the news about Jesus spread throughout the surrounding region.

38Yesu wulubuki muna nzu ya kimvuka ya Bayuta, wendi ku nzu ya Simoni. Buko bwa mukhetu wa Simoni kákala wabela yi kikhafuma amana balombi kwena Yesu ndangu kahanga dyambu kikuma kya yandi.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,

39Wuzenzamini kwena mukhetu wuna, amana muna ndinga ya ngolu, wukayikya kikhafuma kina. Muna mbala mosi, kimukatukini, wutelamini wuyandikini phi kubaheka madya.and He stood over her and rebuked the fever, and it left her. And she got up at once and began to serve them.

40Ha kwáyila kuma, boosu bana bákala yi bambefu ba bawu bana bákala yi makhasi ma mutindu yi mutindu, babanati kwena Yesu, yandi weka bathetika moku amana wubabuki.At sunset, all who were ill with various diseases were brought to Jesus, and laying His hands on each one, He healed them.

41Amana bitembu bya mbi bilubuki kwena bambefu balawu, mu kukalunga: «Ngeyi wenina Mwana wa Nzambi!» Kaasi Yesu wáyandika kukayabya yi kukandikisabya ndangu bizonzaku hika, mukuma byawu phi byazaya ni Yesu, Masiya kákala.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.

42Buna kwákhya kuma, Yesu wálubuka mu mbanza, wenda hunga mu tseki. Mulumba-lumba wa batu wáyandika kumusosa; ha bámumona, bázola kazakala yi bawu.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.

43Kaasi Yesu kábazimbwala: «Bufwani kwena meni yenda samuna Musamu wa Bukheti wa kipfumu kya Nzambi ku mbanza za hika, kikuma kya bwabuna báthumina.»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.”

44Amana Yesu kakala longa mu nzu za kimvuka za Bayuta za Yuteya.And He continued to preach in the synagogues of Judea.
