Luke 4 (ZGAM) · Opened

1Pwu, Yisu vwu adigile umepo umbalache akhakhuya ukhuma khu khihulu kya Yoldani, akhagegiwa nu Mepo UmbalacheThen Jesus, full of the Holy Spirit, returned from the Jordan and was led by the Spirit into the wilderness,

2Kwu figono alubaini, ukwa alikhugeliwa nu setano. Unsikhi ugwa salikulya 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.

3Usetano akhambula, “Ingave uveve ulimwana va Nguluve, pinelula iliwe live nkate.”The devil said to Him, “If You are the Son of God, tell this stone to become bread.”

4UYisu akhambula, “Yisimbiwe; 'umnu sakhatame nu nkata vuvule.”But Jesus answered, “It is written: ‘Man shall not live on bread alone.’”

5Pwu setano akhandogocha kwu vu malilo vwa kyamba akhambonesya uvutwa, vwoni wa khilunga kwu nsikhi unsupi.Then the devil led Him up to a high place and showed Him in an instant all the kingdoms of the world.

6Usetano akhata ni khukhupa, “Nikhukhupo uvwa yilweli vwa khalongocha uvuvaha uvwu woni paninie, nu vuvaha vwa pene. Nigaha evwo ulwakhuva foni amile one mfidemage, nu khumpa umunu uvininogwa ukhumpa.“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.

7Pwu lino, ingave vugundama ni kwisaya, ifinu ifi fyoni fiva fyakho.”So if You worship me, it will all be Yours.”

8Pwu Yisu akhanda akhata, “Yesimbiwe, “Vwisayage kwa Nguluve vakho, nu khumbombela umwene vuvule.”But Jesus answered, “It is written: ‘Worship the Lord your God and serve Him only.’”

9Pwu setano akhandongocha u Yisu khu Yerusalemu nu khumbikha pakyanya ficho pu nyumba ya tembile nu khumbula, “Ingave uveve ulimwana va Nguluve, ila hilile pasi ukhuhuma apa.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.

10Ulwakhuva yisimbiwe, “Ilagicha avasungwa va mwene va khuvikhe nu khukhudima,For it is written: ‘He will command His angels concerning You to guard You carefully,

11hange yavikwukwinola mmavokho gavene ulekhe ukhulemala amalunde gakho nilivwe.”and they will lift You up in their hands, so that You will not strike Your foot against a stone.’”

12UYisu akhanda akhata, “Lichovivwe, “Ulanngela ukuludeva Unguluve vakho.”But Jesus answered, “It also says, ‘Do not put the Lord your God to the test.’”

13Usetano vwa malile ukhugela u Yisu, akhahega nu khundekha upwu gufikhaga unsikhi ugunge.When the devil had finished every temptation, he left Him until an opportune time.

14Pwu Yisu akhavuya kwu Galilaya na makha ga mepo, ni nongwa cha mwene chikhaluta ifikongo fyoni ifili paninie.Jesus returned to Galilee in the power of the Spirit, and the news about Him spread throughout the surrounding region.

15Alikumanyisya mtembile cha vene, pwu munu nu munu alikhuginia.He taught in their synagogues and was glorified by everyone.

16Ikhinge ikhigono akhaluta Mnazareti, ikhilunga ikhyu atamile nu khu kila, neluvuyivile ulwiho lwa mwene akhingela mtembile ikhigono kya sabato, pwu khima ni kwimba uvusimbe.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,

17Vakhampa iligombo lya nyamalogo u Isaya, pwu, pwu akhadindula iligombo, nu khulonda upwu yisimbiwe,the scroll of the prophet Isaiah was handed to Him. Unrolling it, He found the place where it was written:

18Umepo va Nkuludeva alipakyanya paliune ulwakhuva ambakhile i mono ukhulumbilila inongwa inonu kwu va lemilwe. Asuhile kuvavula uvuvopolwe kwuvakungiwe ukhuvavikha uvusa vilola valolage khange. Ukhuvavikha mbuvapolwa avigatachivwa,“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,

19ukhuvavula umwakhe ugwu ukhuludeva ikhovavonesya ulugano lwa mwene.”to proclaim the year of the Lord’s favor.”

20Pwa akhadinda iligombo, lya mwene akhankilivolela undongochi va tembile, pwu akhatama pasi. Amiho ga vanu voni uvuvala mu tembile valikundola umwene.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,

21Akhatengula ukhuchova navo alikhuta, “Ilelo uvusimbe uvwu vufkhe mu mbulukhutu chenyo.”and He began by saying, “Today this Scripture is fulfilled in your hearing.”

22Pala khila munu alikhulola ikyu alikhuchova u Yisu, nu vingi uvuvalepwo valikhudega na mamenyu ga luhala ugwa galikhu kumo mundomo gwa mwene. valinkuta, “Uyu mwana vuvule va Yosefu, savu yilivwo?”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.

23UYisu au havavula, “Lweli yamwichova ikhihnicho ikhi kyulyune, 'Uliganga iponie yuve. kyoyoni ikyutupulikhe ulikhuvomba kwu kapernaumu, uvombe pakhijiji kyakho apa.”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.’”

24Khange akhata, “lweli nikhuvavula umwe, asikhuli unyamalago uvevi khumwidikha mkilunga kya kya mwene.”Then He added, “Truly I tell you, no prophet is accepted in his hometown.

25Pwu nikhuvavula umwe lweli ukhuta valipwo avalekhwa vingi mu Israeli imisikhi gya Eliya, khukhanya kwa dindiwe khulekhe ukhuva ni fula imiakha kidatu ne nusu, vwukhulini njala imbaha ikhilunga kywoni.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.

26Khange u Eliya sakhasuhiwe kwu munu nuvalyumo, pwu khunde kwa yumo vuvule uviatamaga Mselepta pipi na khunji ni ugwa Msidoni.Yet Elijah was not sent to any of them, but to the widow of Zarephath in Sidon.

27Khange, vale ekhwo na boba vingi imiakha gya Elisha unyamalago, pwa asikhuli nuvalyomo uvi aponile yu Naamani umunu va msiria.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.”

28Avanu voni mgati mutembile vadigile ilyoyo vavile vipulikhe aga goni.On hearing this, all the people in the synagogue were enraged.

29Vakhima nukhu kuhugecha khunji khujini, nukhundungocha ukhufikha kuvumelilo vwa jini upwu ujini kwa vene kwa chengiwe khukyanya, pwu vantage pasi.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.

30Pwu akhaluta vunonu pagati pavene akhilutila.But Jesus passed through the crowd and went on His way.

31Pwu khikha mu Kapernaumu, mjini ugwa Galilaya. Isabato yimo alikumanyisye avanu mgato nu mtembile.Then He went down to Capernaum, a town in Galilee, and on the Sabbath He began to teach the people.

32Valikudega nulumanyisyo lwa vene, ulwa khuva alikhumanyisya khu makha.They were astonished at His teaching, because His message had authority.

33Pwu ikhigono ikhyo mgati mtembile, ale epwo umunu unyamepo imbivi, pwu akhalila khulimenyu ilya kukhyanya,In the synagogue there was a man possessed by the spirit of an unclean demon. He cried out in a loud voice,

34“Tulinikhekhi nuve, Yesu va Mnasareti? Wichile kukhotuyocha? Nihemanyila uve veve veni! Veve mbalache va Nguluve!”“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!”

35UYisu akhadukha khumepo akhata, “Nunala mye, khange uhume mu munu oyu!” Imepo ila yikhataga umunu ule pasi pagati pavene, akhahuma mu munu khange sakivone uluvavo.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.

36Avanu voni valikudega, khange valikupichova imbombo iyo umunu nu nunine. Valikuta, “Gomanyu makhi aga?” Ilamula imepo imbivi khuvutwa na makha vevihege.”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!”

37Pwu, imongwa cha Yisu chilikhuluta kwoni mu khilunga ikhichongotile unkoa ugwa.And the news about Jesus spread throughout the surrounding region.

38Pwu Yisu akhahega mjini vgwa pwa akhingela munyumba ya Simoni. Pwu, unkwive nu Simoni alikhuva vivwa ihoma ingali, pwu vakhammbembelesya avange.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,

39Pwu, u Yisuakhang'elelela, akhadukha ihoma yikhandekha. Pwu akhima akhatengula ukhuvavombela.and He stood over her and rebuked the fever, and it left her. And she got up at once and began to serve them.

40Ilichova vulikhwingela, avanu vakhendetela u Yisu umunu nuvotamu vwa uvwavechaga. Alikhuvikha amavokho gamwene pa kyanya pa ntamu pwu vakhapona voni.At sunset, all who were ill with various diseases were brought to Jesus, and laying His hands on each one, He healed them.

41Imepo chope chikhavahumaavingi vali kulila kwu elimenyu nukhuta, “Uve veve mwana va Nguluve!” UYisu akhadukha imipepo nukuvavula vachove, ulwakhuva valumanyile ukhuta umwene akhala vi Kristi.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.

42Unsikhi vu khutandalukha, akhaluta ukhuvasikuli na vanu. Ululundamano lwa vanu valikhundonda pwu vakhichaukwu likwo. Vagela ukhukihivula alekhe ukhuluta khutali na vene.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.

43Pwu akhavavula, “Lasima nilumbilile ilimenyu ilinonu lya vutwa vwa Nguluve mu miji iginge mingi, ulwakhuva khyu mene nisuhivwe apa.”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.”

44Pwu alikhuluta khulumbilila mgati mtembile mumbuyahudi mwoni.And He continued to preach in the synagogues of Judea.
