Luka 4
1 Nani Yesu, na iwa kullo ghe nin Uruhu Ulau, akpilla unuzu kurawan Yahudiya, Uruhu nya ninghe udu nanya kusho
As Jesus left the Jordan [River valley], the Holy Spirit was completely controlling him.
2 nanya nayiri akut anas shetan. Wa di dumunghe kikane, nanya na leli ayire, na awa lii imon ba, udu nimalin nkoni kubi alanza kukpon.
For 40 days the Spirit led him around in the desolate area. During that time Jesus was being tempted by the devil {the devil was tempting him}, and Jesus did not eat anything. When that time ended, he was [very] hungry.
3 Shetan ghe woroghe, “Andi fe gono Kutelle ari taah atala ale aso uborodi.”
Then the devil said to Jesus, “Because you [claim that you] ([have a relationship with] God as a son [has with his father] [MET]/are the man who is both God and man), [prove it by] telling these stones to become bread [so that you can eat them]!”
4 Yesu kauwa ghe ina nyertin, “Na unit ba so ninlai bara uborodi cas ba.”
Jesus replied, “[No, I will not change stones into bread, because it is written] {[Moses] wrote} [in the Scriptures] that [eating] food sustains people physically, but it does not [sustain them spiritually. They also need food for their spirits].”
5 Nin nani shetan dofino nunghe udu kiti kizalan, adi durso ghe vat kipin tigo nanya inye na nin kubi ba.
Then the devil took him on top of [a high mountain] and showed him in an instant all the nations in the world.
6 Shetan ghe woro ghe, “Meng ba nifi likara asu tigo nanya kipin tigone nin ngongon vat, meng wan su nsu nani bara ina nii nsu tigowe kitene, tutun nwansa nnah ko ghaku ulenge na ndinin nsuwe.
Then he said to [Jesus], “I will give you the authority [to rule] all these areas and will make you famous. [I can do this] because [God] has permitted me [to control these areas], and I can allow anyone I desire to rule them!
7 Bara nani asa uba tumunu nbun nighe unii ngongon, vat nilele ba so infe.”
So if you worship me, I will [let] you [rule] them all!”
8 Bara nani Yesu kauwa a wono ghe, “Udi nanya ninyerte uba tumuzunu Cikilari Kutelle fe amere cas uba nighe ngongon.”
But Jesus replied, “[No, I] will not [worship you, because] it is written {[the Psalmist] wrote} [in the Scriptures], ‘It is the Lord, your God, whom you must worship, and you must serve only him!’”
9 Udu nbune shetan dofino nin Yesu udu Urushelima adi cio ghe kiiti kizalang kuttyi nliran a woro ghe, “Andi fe gono Kutelle ari nyinna kikane.
Then the devil took [Jesus] to Jerusalem. He set him on the highest part of the Temple and said to him, “Because you [claim that you] ([have a relationship with God as a son has with his father] [MET]/are the man who is both God and man), [prove it by] jumping down from here.
10 Bara inyerte na bellin abati nono kadura mye iminfi, ikese fi.
[You will not be hurt], because it is written {the [Psalmist] wrote} [in the Scriptures], ‘God will command his angels to protect you [(sg)].
11 Inung ba ghantinfi nin nacara mine, bara uwa tiro kitene litala.”
They will lift you up with their hands [when you are falling], so that [you will not get hurt]. You will not [even] strike your foot on a stone.’”
12 Yesu kauwa a woroghe. “Ina bellin na uwa dumun Cikilari Kutelle fe ba.
But Jesus replied, “[No, I] will not [do that, because] it is written {[Moses] wrote} [in the Scriptures]: ‘Do not try to test the Lord your God [to see if he will prevent something bad from happening to you when you do something foolish]’.”
13 Kubi na shetan nmala udumuzunu Yesu ku, a nya a sunghe udu nkon kubi.
Then, after the devil had finished trying to tempt [Jesus] in many ways, he left him. He wanted to try to tempt him later at an appropriate time.
14 Nani Yesu kpilla udu Ugalili nin likara Uruhu, uliru kitene mye malla kiti vat nkilinu ligan nmyino.
As the Spirit empowered him, Jesus returned to Galilee [district. People] throughout all that region heard about what he [was doing].
15 A dursuzo nani nanya kutyi nliran ko gha wa sughe liru.
He taught [people] in their (synagogues/meeting places). [As a result], he was praised by everyone {everyone praised him}.
16 Nlon liri adah Unazaret, kagbir kanga na ana kunjoku, nafo ile imon na amene nsuzuwe, a pira kutyi nliran liri nasabar, a fita ayisa a karanta inyerte.
Then [Jesus] went to Nazareth, [the town] where he grew up. (On the Sabbath/On the Jewish rest day) he went (to the synagogue/to the Jewish meeting place), as he usually did. He stood up [to indicate that he wanted] to read [Scriptures] to them.
17 Kufah nnan nliru nin nuu Kutelle Ishaya ri iwa nighe a puno kufe, asa kiti kaa na inyerte ule duku,
A scroll containing [the words] that the prophet Isaiah [had written] was given to him {[Someone] gave to him a scroll containing [the words] that the prophet Isaiah [had written]}. He opened the scroll and found the place from which he [wanted to] read. [He read these words]:
18 “Uruhu Kutelle di nin mye, Bara unashipai nbellu uliru ucine kiti nakimon. Ana tuuyi nbellin ibunku alenge na idi licin, nin npunu niyisi nale na idi aduu,
The Spirit (of the Lord/of God) is upon me. He has appointed [MTY] me to declare God’s good news to the poor. He has sent me [here] to proclaim that God will deliver those whom [Satan] has captured, and he will [enable me to] enable those who are blind to see. He will enable me to free people who have been oppressed {whom [others] have oppressed}.
19 Nin nbellu likus nse nyinnu Ncikilari.”
And he sent me to declare that now is the time when (the Lord/God) will [act] favorably [toward people].
20 Na atursu kuffe, akpilla mun ana unan kutuwa kutyi nlirane, atina aso, iyizi na nite vat nanya kutyi nliran kpilla kitimye.
Then he rolled up the scroll and gave it back to the attendant, and sat down [to teach the people]. Everyone in the synagogue was looking intently [MTY] at him.
21 A cizina uliru nanghinu, “Kitimone nkullo nanya nlanzu mine.”
He said to them, “Today as you have been hearing [MTY] [me speak], [I am beginning] to fulfill this Scripture passage.”
22 Ko gha wanso iyizi inba nanya nimon vat na awa bellin nanuu itunna ikiffo tinu, bara tigbulang timang na ti di nnucu nnu mye. I wa din du “Kaane gonon Yusufu ari, sa na nani ba?”
[At first] everyone there spoke well about him, and they were amazed at the charming words that he spoke. [But then some of] them said, “(He is [only] Joseph’s son!/Isn’t he [only] Joseph’s son?) [RHQ] [So] ([it is useless for us(exc) to listen to what he says!/why should we(exc) listen to what he says]?) [RHQ]”
23 Yesu woro nani, “Kiden nari iba belle to tinan kugoldo, kabere shinno nin litife, vat nile imon na tina lanza au una su Ukafarnahum su inin kikane kagbirfe.”
He said to them, “Surely [some of] you will quote to me the proverb that says, ‘Doctor, heal yourself!’ [What you will mean is], ‘People told us that you did miracles in Capernaum [town, but we(exc) do not know if those reports are true. So] do miracles here in your own hometown, too!’”
24 Ame tutun woro, “Kidegenari ndi nbellu munu, na iwasa iyina nin nan nliru nin nnu Kutelle kipin mye ba.
Then he said, “It is certainly true that [people] do not accept [the message of] a prophet when he speaks in his hometown, [just like you(pl) are not accepting my message now].
25 Kidegen meng di nbellu munu, awani alenge na ales mine wa kuzu wa diku gbardang kubon Iiya, kubi na kitene kani wa tursu, sa uwuru udu akus atat nin tipwui kutocin kubi na kukpon wandi vat kipine.
But think about this: There were many widows in Israel during the time when [the prophet] Elijah [lived. During that time], because of there being no rain [MTY] for three years and six months, there was a great famine throughout the country.
26 Bara nani na iwa tuu Iliya ku kiti nmong nanya mine ba, bara cas udu kiti nmong uwani na ules mye na kuu, kupo kipin Sidon.
But [God] did not send Elijah to [help] any of those [Jewish] widows. [God sent him] to Zarepath [town] near Sidon [city], to [help] a [non-Jewish] widow.
27 Tutun akuturu wa duku gbardang kubin Alisha unan nliru nin nuu Kutelle, bara nani na iwa shinn nin nmong ba se Naaman kunan Suriya.”
There were also many [Jewish] lepers in Israel during the time when the prophet Elisha [lived]. But [Elisha] did not heal any of them. He healed only Naaman, a [non-Jewish] man from Syria.”
28 Vat nanite nanya kutyi nliran lanza ileli imone ayi mine nana.
When all the people in the synagogue heard him say that, they were very angry, [because they realized that he was inferring that he similarly would help non-Jewish people instead of helping Jews] (OR, [that they also were not worthy of receiving God’s help]).
29 Inung fita inutunghe nanya kagbire nin likara, inya ninghe udu kitene likup longo na iwa ke kagbir mine ku, bara itununghe udak kutyin.
So they all got up and shoved him out of the town. They took him to the top of the hill outside their town in order to throw him off the cliff [and kill him].
30 Ame tunna anya dert kiyitik mine libau mye.
But he [simply] walked through their midst and went away.
31 A tolo udu Ukafarnahum kagbir nanya ngalili, namon asabar awandi ndursuzu nanit nanya kutyin nliran.
[One day] Jesus went [with his disciples] down to Capernaum, a town in Galilee [district]. On the next (Sabbath/Jewish day of rest) (OR, Each (Sabbath/Jewish day of rest)), he taught the people ([in the synagogue/in the Jewish meeting place]).
32 Inung wa kiffo tinu nin ndursuzu mye, bara awa liru nin likarra.
They were continually amazed at what he was teaching, because [he spoke] ([with authority/as people speak who have] the right to command others what to do).
33 Nene nanya kutyin nliran umong wa duku ulenge na awa dinin Nruhu nagbergenu, asu kuculu komg,
[That day], (OR, On one of those Jewish days of rest, ) there was a man in the synagogue who was controlled by an evil spirit. That man shouted very loudly,
34 Iyaghari arike basu ninfi Yesu kunan Nazarat? Udah kikane uda molu nari? Meng yiru sa fe ghari, fere Ulau un Kutelle!”
“Hey! Jesus, from Nazareth! [We(exc) evil spirits] have nothing in common with you, so ([do not interfere with us now!/why should you interfere with us now]?) [RHQ] (Do not destroy us [now!]/Have you come to destroy us [now]?) [RHQ] I know who you are. You are the Holy One [who has come] from God!”
35 Yesu kpada agbergenu a woro, “Taan tik inuzu nanya mine!” Kubi na agbergenu liinghe kutyen kiyitik mine, anuzu nanya mye sa uworu ataghe ukul.
Jesus rebuked [the evil spirit], saying, “Be quiet! And come out [of the man]!” The demon threw the man down on the ground in the midst of the people. But without harming the man, the demon left him.
36 Vat nanite kiffo tinu, itunna nliru nanya nati mine, i woro, “Imusin ntime tigbulan ghari tine? A kpada agbergenu ananzang nin likara inanai inuzu wa?”
The people were all amazed. They said to each other, “(What he says to the demons [has great power!/] [kind of] teaching is this?) [RHQ] He speaks to them like he knows that they must obey him, and as a result they leave people!”
37 Uliru we kitene mye tunna umala kiti nanyan nkilinu kipine.
The people were telling everyone in [every village] in the surrounding region what Jesus [had done].
38 Na Yesu nsuna kutyin nlira, apira kilari Simon, nene unan nwani simo ne awadi nniu nin nkonu, inung foghe acara nmemuku mye.
Jesus [and his disciples] left (the synagogue/the Jewish meeting place) and entered Simon’s house. Simon’s mother-in-law was sick and had a high fever. So [others in Simon’s family] (OR, [the disciples]) asked Jesus to [heal] her.
39 Bara nani a fita ayisina kitime akpada ukone, atinna ashino, deddei atina a fita acizina asu nani katuwa.
So he bent over her and commanded the fever to leave her. At once she became well! She got up and served them [some food].
40 Kubi ndiu nwui, anite da nin na nan tikonu gbardang kitin Yesu, Ame tarda nani acara itino itinna ishino.
When the sun was setting [that day, and the restriction about not traveling] (on [the Sabbath/on the Jewish rest day]) [was ended], many people [HYP] whose [friends or relatives] were sick or who had various diseases brought them to Jesus. He put his hands on them and healed [all of] them.
41 Agbergenu nuzu kiti nani gbardang, nin kuculu i woro, “Fe gono Kutelle Yesu kpada agbergenu a wantina nani uliru. Bara iwa yinin au ame Kristi ari.
He also was [expelling demons] from many people. As the demons left those people, they shouted to Jesus, “You are (the Son of God/the one who is God and man)!” But he rebuked those demons and would not allow them to tell [people about him], because they knew that he was the Messiah, and [for various reasons he did not want everyone to know that yet].
42 Nin nshantu kiti ada, anya udu kiti kah na unit duku ba, ligozi nanit wadi npiziru ghe ida kiti kah na aduku, isu inda na iba wantinghe asun nani.
[Early] the next morning [Jesus] left that house and went to an uninhabited place [to pray]. Many people searched for him, and when they found him they kept urging him not to leave them.
43 Baara nani, aworo nani, “Usoyi gbasari tutun nbellin ulinu ucine kitene kipin tigo Kutelle nanya nigbir gbardang, bara nanere iwa tuuyi kikane.”
But he said to them, “I must tell [people] in other towns also the good message about how God wants to rule [MET] their lives, because that is what I was sent {[God] sent me} to do.”
44 Nin nani atina aleo ubun nbellu nliru nlai nanya natyi nlira, nin vatt ligan Yahudiya.
So he kept preaching in (the synagogues/Jewish worship places) [in various towns] in Judea [province].
