1Yɛsu kàkäl aŋàyɔl a Dweelà In'kyɛɛl mpal kàfü nde Yɔrdan, Dweelà kun'syen u nsye a ipɔl,Then Jesus, full of the Holy Spirit, returned from the Jordan and was led by the Spirit into the wilderness,

2ikal kun'lɛb Satanà ilä an'kwem an'nà. Ilä abin byanswà nde akundiir kàdi anki. Mpal byàwü ilä abi, nde kàwem ngyal.where for forty days He was tempted by the devil. He ate nothing during those days, and when they had ended, He was hungry.

3Satanà kàtɛn a nde naa: « Isàkal naa ngye awà Mwan a Nzam, swaŋ nkɔŋ yi ibulà nsɔ. »The devil said to Him, “If You are the Son of God, tell this stone to become bread.”

4Yɛsu kun'fuur naa: « Bàsön naa: "Mbuur usàkal anki anà mɔ̈ɔ̈ ntɔn nsɔ mpɛl." »But Jesus answered, “It is written: ‘Man shall not live on bread alone.’”

5Satanà kun'syen ududu, kun'swɛŋ imfum a mɛɛn byanswà,Then the devil led Him up to a high place and showed Him in an instant all the kingdoms of the world.

6waa kàtɛn a nde naa: « Mɛ in'yapà ikɔ̈b ki kyanswà, un'naaŋ anà làkoo a imfum bi byanswà, ntɔn bya mɛ bàpɛ, mɛ sye in'fàpà akà mbuur wanswà in'kwen mɛ.“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.

7Isàkal naa ngye an'bwà an'köm kusà a mɛ, ayi yanswà iyàkal yà ngye. »So if You worship me, it will all be Yours.”

8Yɛsu kun'fuur naa: « Bàsön naa: "Ngye asàbwà an'köm kusà a Mwol, Nzam angye, ngye sye ayàsyääl nde mpɛl." »But Jesus answered, “It is written: ‘Worship the Lord your God and serve Him only.’”

9Satanà kàfun'syen u Yɛlusàlɛm, kun'si udu a ndwà a Nzam, waa kàtɛn a nde naa: « Isàkal naa ngye awà Mwan a Nzam, tɔɔmà sɛmà pà tii u nsi, ntɔn bàsön naa: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"Nde ayàswaŋ in'kyeey ande ntɔn ngye, ntɔn ba batii,For it is written: ‘He will command His angels concerning You to guard You carefully,

11anà ba sye bàsawal kan'kɔɔ aba ntɔn làkɔl angye làkɔ̈ɔ̈n abööl u nkɔŋ." »and they will lift You up in their hands, so that You will not strike Your foot against a stone.’”

12Yɛsu kun'fuur naa: « Bàsön naa: "Ngye asun'kur anki Mwol, Nzam angye". »But Jesus answered, “It also says, ‘Do not put the Lord your God to the test.’”

13Pa kàmay nde ndɛb yanswà, Satanà waa kàlwomà tsütsü apà Yɛsu tii utaaŋ asin.When the devil had finished every temptation, he left Him until an opportune time.

14Yɛsu kàkäl aŋàyɔl a ngwal a Dweelà mpal kàfurà nde Ngalilɛ. Làsaŋ ande làpää kà itiir a nsi aki kyanswà.Jesus returned to Galilee in the power of the Spirit, and the news about Him spread throughout the surrounding region.

15Nde kàyilɔŋà uboo a ndwà a nköŋ a Ayudà. Baar banswà bàkyer un'sà làkoo.He taught in their synagogues and was glorified by everyone.

16Apan, Yɛsu kàkyen Nasàlɛr ikal kàyɛl nde. Asànaa ifà ande, nde kàbilà u ndwà a nköŋ a Ayudà ilä a saba. Nde kàmbarà ntɔn mutaŋ,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,

17ba bun'pɛ un'kaan a ŋangɔɔm Yɛsay. Nde kàduub wa, waa kàmɛn ikal bàsön naa:the scroll of the prophet Isaiah was handed to Him. Unrolling it, He found the place where it was written:

18« Dweelà a Mwol là udu amɛ, ntɔn nde kan'si an'kɔɔ ntɔn mukyään Làsaŋ Aŋàbwaŋ akà aŋàlàmbwà, nde kan'töm mukyään ntsuuŋà akà baar aŋàkwɛlà, anà akà ikwàmii muman, mutsuuŋ baar bàŋàmɛɛy nkwaaŋ,“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,

19mukyään mbul usàswaŋ Mwol kab angway ande. »to proclaim the year of the Lord’s favor.”

20Ungö apan nde kàdübà un'kaan awun, kàpɛ wa akà un'syääl, waa kàbwaay. Uboo a ndwà a nköŋ a Ayudà, mii myanswà myàkäl muler nde.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,

21Apan nde kàsɛmà mutɛn a ba naa: « Itiir a Ndaa a Nzam an'taŋ mɛ yi, akà bɛ baar làweemà ya, ya yan'kwo ŋàbawà. »and He began by saying, “Today this Scripture is fulfilled in your hearing.”

22Baar banswà bun'tɛɛlà imbäl: ba bàkäl mubem ntɔn ndaa aŋàbwaŋ iyatoo u mun ande, wɛɛ ba bàtɛɛnà naa: « Wà mà mwan a Yɔsɛfi! »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.

23Apan Yɛsu waa kàtɛn a ba naa: « Mɛ inkyàyöb naa bɛ làyan'tɛɛl itim ki: "Ungaŋ, kɔɔr ngye ŋakwo, bɛ làyàtɛn naa kyer u bul angye asànaa kàkyer ngye u Kapɛrnawum."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.’”

24Wɛɛ mɛ, mɛ alàkyään ndandaa naa akà ŋangɔɔm mwɛy ufun'wal u nsi ande watɛy.Then He added, “Truly I tell you, no prophet is accepted in his hometown.

25Mɛ alàkyään ndandaa, akweel adim bàkäl mbɔɔn u taaŋ a Ɛli kà Isàlɛl mpal mbul mpa kànɔ̈ wa mbul tär a ngɔn syaam. Ngyal yàkyer abilà u mɛɛn manswà,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.

26wɛɛ Ɛli bun'töm anki akà umwɛy uboo a ba, bun'töm akà un'kweel un'dim mwɛy u Sarɛpta, u mɛɛn a Sidɔn.Yet Elijah was not sent to any of them, but to the widow of Zarephath in Sidon.

27Baar a ukyal a bay sye bàkäl mbɔɔn kà Isàlɛl utaaŋ a ŋangɔɔm Ɛlisya, ba banswà bàkɔɔrà anki, Naaman un'nsi Siri mpɛl. »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.”

28Baar banswà uboo a ndwà a nköŋ a Ayudà bàwem nkyɛl mbɔɔn mpal bàwem ba indiir abi byanswà.On hearing this, all the people in the synagogue were enraged.

29Waa bàmbarà, bun'böŋ u bul aba, bun'syen udu a mɔŋ bàtöŋ bul aba ntɔn mukun'siinà waa nde ukàbwà u ngyɛl.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.

30Wɛɛ Yɛsu kàlyaaŋ uboo aba, waa kàkyen.But Jesus passed through the crowd and went on His way.

31Apan Yɛsu kàtyà Kapɛrnawum, bul a Ngalilɛ. Nde kàlɔɔŋà ilä a saba.Then He went down to Capernaum, a town in Galilee, and on the Sabbath He began to teach the people.

32Baar bàmɛn ndaa yubem ntɔn nde kàlɔɔŋà a ikɔ̈b.They were astonished at His teaching, because His message had authority.

33U ndwà a nköŋ a Ayudà kàkäl anà mbuur mwɛy kàkäl anà dweelà a làbe. Mpal kàmɛn nde Yɛsu, nde kàsi in'kwɛŋ:In the synagogue there was a man possessed by the spirit of an unclean demon. He cried out in a loud voice,

34« Aa! Yɛsu un'nsi Nasàlɛr, ngye ininà akwen ntɔn bi? Ngye ayi ntɔn muböŋ bi? Mɛ in'kyàyöb naa ngye awà nà, ngye awà Ŋun'kyɛɛl a Nzam. »“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!”

35Yɛsu waa kun'ŋän, waa kàtɛn naa: « Kal a duu, too uboo a mbuur wà. » Dweelà a làbe lun'bwiy u nsi, waa làtoo ukɔɔn akun'kyer ube.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.

36Baar banswà bàkäl u bɔɔmà, waa bàtɛɛnà ba a ba naa: « Ndaa nà ayi? Nde wà mutɛɛnà a ngwal anà ikɔ̈b a an'dweelà an'be, ma sye màmutoo! »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!”

37Làsaŋ ande làpää kà itiir a nsi akin.And the news about Jesus spread throughout the surrounding region.

38Yɛsu kàtoo u ndwà a nköŋ a Ayudà, waa kàkyen ndwà a Simɔn. Ukwà a Simɔn kàkäl anà làbwey a mpye mbɔɔn. Ba bun'bɔ̈ɔ̈n mukun'kɔɔr.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,

39Yɛsu waa kànyee udu ande, waa kàböŋ ukyal aban. Umpal bàtoo ba u ndür ande, nde waa kàsubà, waa kàsɛmà mukasyääl.and He stood over her and rebuked the fever, and it left her. And she got up at once and began to serve them.

40U làbwàmpib, baar bàkäl anà baar a an'kyal mà ifà ifà batwäl akà Yɛsu. Nde kasi an'kɔɔ, ba waa bàkɔɔrà.At sunset, all who were ill with various diseases were brought to Jesus, and laying His hands on each one, He healed them.

41An'dweelà an'be sye màtoo anà in'kwɛŋ anà màtɛn naa: « Ngye awà Mwan a Nzam. » Wɛɛ Yɛsu katsüŋ a ngwal ntɔn ba bàkɔ̈ɔ̈n afàtɛn, ntɔn ba bàkyer ayöbà naa nde kàkäl Klistɔ.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.

42Taaŋtyà ututu, Yɛsu kàkyer atoo, waa kàkyen kikal a mpey. Baar mbɔɔn bàkyer ayun'leŋà. Mpal bun'mɛn ba, ba bàkwen mukun'tà mpi ntɔn nde ukɔɔn asawɛy.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.

43Wɛɛ nde kàtɛn a ba naa: « Mɛ in'kyer akàpay Làsaŋ Aŋàbwaŋ là imwol a Nzam kà an'bul mumwɛy, ntɔn ndaa kan'töm Nzam yayi. »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.”

44Nde kàlɔɔŋà u ndwà a nköŋ a Ayudà u Yuday.And He continued to preach in the synagogues of Judea.
