Luhka 4
1 Jesuh Ngmüimkhya Ngcim am beki, Jordan tuinu üngka naw a nghlat law be üng Ngmüimkhya naw khawkhyawng khawa cehpüi se,
On returning from the Jordan, full of the Holy Spirit, Jesus was led by the power of the Spirit through the wilderness for forty days, tempted by the devil.
2 mhmüp kphyükip khawyai naw a hlawhlep. Acunüng ipi am ei se, anghnua a ei cawi lawki.
All that time he ate nothing; and, when it was over, he became hungry.
3 Khawyai naw, “Nang Mhnama capa na kyak üng, hina lung muka ngthawn law khaia ngthu pea,” a ti.
So the devil said to him, “If you are God’s Son, tell this stone to become a loaf of bread.”
4 Acunsepi Jesuh naw msang lü, “Khyang cun ei däng üng am xüng, tia cangcim üng ng’yuki,” a ti.
And Jesus answered him, “Scripture says – ‘It is not on bread alone that a person is to live.’”
5 Acunüng khawyai naw Jesuh khawmcung a hlüngnaka kaipüiki naw khawmdeka khana khawe avan mik mkhyüp üng jah mhmuh lü,
And the devil led Jesus up, and showing him in a single moment all the kingdoms of the earth, said to him,
6 “Hin he avan ka veia peta kyaki, upi ka ngaih üng ka peki, hina ana avan la a kyäpsawknak avan ka ning pe khai,
“I will give you all this power, and the splendor of them; for it has been given into my hands and I give it to whom I wish.
7 acunakyase na sawhkhah lü, avan na kaa kya khai,” a ti.
If you worship me, it will all be yours.”
8 Jesuh naw a veia, “Cangcim üng, ‘Na Bawipa Pamhnam sawhkhah lü, ani däng na khüih vai,’ tia ng’yuki,’” a ti.
And Jesus answered him, “Scripture says – ‘You should worship the Lord your God, and worship him only.’”
9 Acunüng khawyai naw Jerusalema cehpüiki naw, Temple khan, amsumnaka ta lü, “Mhnama capa na kyak üng hin üngka naw mcea namät kcoa,
The devil next led him into Jerusalem, and, placing him on the parapet of the Temple, said, “If you are God’s Son throw yourself down from here,
10 ‘Ani naw khankhawngsä he ning na k’äih u lü, ning na mcei khai hea jah mcawn khai,
for scripture says – ‘He will give his angels commands about you, to guard you safely,’
11 na khaw am lung am na su khaia, ami kut am ning na mcei khai he’ tia, ng’yüki,” a ti.
And ‘On their hands they will lift you up, otherwise you might strike your foot against a stone.’”
12 Cunsepi Jesuh naw, “Na Bawipa, Pamhnam ä na mhnütei vai,’ tia kyaki ni,” ti lü a msang.
But Jesus answered him, “It is said – ‘You must not tempt the Lord your God.’”
13 Acunüng khawyai naw a hlawhlepnak vai avan am a hlawhlep käna asäng a ceh tak ma.
When he had tried every kind of temptation, the devil left Jesus, until another opportunity.
14 Acunüng Jesuh, Ngmüimkhya Ngcima khyaihnak am Kalilea nghlat be se, a mawng cun acuna khaw pei avan üng ngthang hüki.
Moved by the power of the Spirit, Jesus returned to Galilee. Reports about him spread through all that region;
15 Acunüng sinakoka jah mthei hü se, khyang avan naw ngak u lü, ami mhlünmtai.
and he began to teach in their synagogues, and was honored by everyone.
16 Acunüng angvainak Nazareta a law be üng a thum khawia kba Sabbath mhmüp üng, Sinakoka k'uma lut lü ngthungcim khe khaia ngdüiki.
Coming to Nazareth, where he had been brought up, Jesus, as was his custom, went on the Sabbath into the synagogue, and stood up to read the scriptures.
17 Acunüng sahma Hesajah cauk ami pet. Acunüng cauk ktawm a kphyan üng hinkba angyuknak a kheh,
He was given the book of the prophet Isaiah; and Jesus opened the book and found the place where it says –
18 “Bawipa Ngmüimkhya ka khana awmki, ani naw thangkdaw m'yyenkse hea veia ka sang khaia a na xü. Ami mlung naki he ka jah mhlät be khai, khuikhaki hea veia lätnaka thangkdaw ka sang khai, amikmü he ka jah mdaw be khai, ami jah man he ka jah mhlät khaia la,
‘The Spirit of the Lord is on me, for he has consecrated me to bring good news to the poor, he has sent me to proclaim release to captives and restoration of sight to the blind, to set the oppressed at liberty,
19 Bawipa naw a khyang he a jah küikyanak vaia kcün pha lawki ti, ka sang khaia ana tüih law ni,” tia kyaki.
to proclaim the year of the Lord’s favor.’
20 Jesuh naw cauk ktawmki naw jah pe be lü ngawki. Acunüng Sinakoka k'uma ngawki he avan naw kcävä u lü ami teng.
Then, closing the book and returning it to the attendant, he sat down. The eyes of all in the synagogue were fixed on him,
21 Acunüng Jesuh naw, “Tuhngawi hina thungcim nami sim kümkawi law ve,” a ti.
and Jesus began, “This very day this passage has been fulfilled in your hearing.”
22 Acunüng ami van naw, a ngthu pyen cun aktäa ngai hlü u lü, aktäa kyühkhyai u lü, “Hin hin Josepa capa am kyakia kya aih se,” ami ti.
All who were present spoke well of him, and were astonished at the beautiful words that fell from his lips. “Isn’t Joseph’s son?” they asked.
23 Jesuh naw, “Hina msuimcäpnak, ‘Sibawi, namät la namät m’yai bea! Ipi Kapenawm khawa pawh hina khaw üng pi pawh lü mdang lawa’ nami ti khai,” a ti.
“Doubtless,” said Jesus, “you will remind me of the saying – ‘Doctor, cure yourself;’ and you will say ‘Do here in your own country all that we have heard that has been done at Capernaum.’
24 Acunüng Jesuh naw, “Akcanga ka ning jah mthehki, sahma cun amäta khawa am dokhamei khawi u.
I tell you,” he continued, “that no prophet is acceptable in his own country.
25 “Cunsepi ka ning jah mthehki, Elijaha kcün üng, khawkum kthum la khya khyuk khaw am a se, khaw avan üng khaw a set law üng, hmeinu khawjah Isarel khawa awmki he,
There were, doubtless, many widows in Israel in Elijah’s days, when the heavens were closed for three years and six months, and a severe famine prevailed throughout the country;
26 cunsepi ua veia pi Elijah tüiha am kya naw, Sidon khaw da Sarepta khawa hmeinu mata veia ni tüiha akya ve.
and yet it was not to one of them that Elijah was sent, but to a widow at Zarephath in Sidonia.
27 “Acunüng sahma Elishaa kcün üng pi Isarel khawa mnehkse mnehki khawjah awmki he; cunsepi Naman, Siria khawa ka dänga thea upi ngcimsak bea am kya naw,” a ti.
And there were many lepers in Israel in the time of the prophet Elisha, yet it was not one of them who was made clean, but Naaman the Syrian.”
28 Acunüng Sinakoka k'uma awmki he ami van acun ami ngjak üng, aktäa ami mlung soki.
All the people in the synagogue, as they listened to this, became enraged.
29 Acunüng tho law u lü, mlüh üngka naw ktämki he naw ami mlüha awmnak mcunga khana ami buhtawn vaia ami cehpüi.
Starting up, they drove Jesus out of the town, and led him to the brow of the hill on which their town stood, intending to hurl him down.
30 Cunsepi Jesuh ami ksunga ngjui lü akcea citeiki.
But he passed through the middle of the crowd and went on his way.
31 Acunüng Jesuh naw Kalile mlüh, Kapenawma cit lü Sabbath mhmüp üng a jah mthei.
Then Jesus went down to Capernaum, a city in Galilee. On the Sabbath he taught the people.
32 A ngthu pyen ana a awma phäha aktäa cäicah lawki he.
They were amazed at his teaching, because his words were spoken with authority.
33 Acunüng Sinakoka k'uma khyang mat ngmüimkhya ksea awmnak awmki cun,
In the synagogue there was a man with the spirit of a foul demon in him, who called out loudly,
34 “Nazaret Jesuh, i mi nglak awm se ni? Jah mkhyüh khaia na lawki aw? Nang ka ning ksingki, nang Mhnama ngsä ngcima na kyaki ni,” ti lü ngpyangki.
“Stop! 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!”
35 Jesuh naw, “Ä khikheh lü a k'um üngka naw lut law,” ti lü jüi se, acunüng khawyai naw khyang hea maa mkhyu lü, ia pi am pawh lü a ceh tak.
But Jesus rebuked the demon. “Be silent! Come out from him,” he said. The demon flung the man down in the middle of the people, and then came out from him, without causing him further harm.
36 Acunüng awmki he ami van naw cäi u lü, “Hin hin ia ngthu ni? Ana la khyaihnak am khawyai kse he jah jüi se lut lawki he hin,” tia ngthäh kyuki he.
And they were all lost in amazement, and kept saying to one another, “What words are these? For he gives his commands to the foul spirits with a marvelous authority, and they come out.”
37 Acunüng acuna pipei, khaw avan üng a mawng ngthang hüki.
And rumors about Jesus traveled through every place in the region.
38 Jesuh Sinakok üngka naw ktawih lü Sihmona ima citki. Acuia Sihmona pi aktäa mhnatei se ami mtheh.
On leaving the synagogue, Jesus went into Simon’s house. Now Simon’s mother-in-law was suffering from a severe attack of fever, and they asked Jesus to cure her.
39 Jesuh naw a peia ngdüi lü a mhnat jüi se mhnat naw a khyah. Acunüng angxita tho law lü a jah khüih.
Bending over her, he rebuked the fever; the fever left her, and she immediately got up and began to take care of them.
40 Acunüng khaw kya se, natnak akce kcea jah hui, am phetki he avan a veia ami jah lawpüi; acunüng ami vana khana a kut mtaih lü a jah m’yai be.
At sunset, all who had friends suffering from various diseases took them to Jesus; and he placed his hands on everyone of them and cured them.
41 Khawyai he naw, “Pamhnama Capa na kyaki ni,” tia, ngpyang u lü, khyang khawjaha k'um üngka naw lut lawki he. Acunüng Jesuh naw jah jüi se, Mesijaha kyaki ti ami ksinga phäha am a jah ngthuhei sak.
And even demons came out from many people, screaming ‘You are the Son of God.’ Jesus rebuked them, and would not allow them to speak, because they knew that he was the Christ.
42 Khawa thaih law la, Jesuh mlüh ktawi ta lü angkhyinaka cit se, khyang he naw sui u lü a veia law siki he naw, am a jah ceh tak vaia ami khyawh.
At daybreak, Jesus went out and walked to a lonely spot. But crowds of people began to look for him; and they came to where he was and tried to detain him and prevent his leaving them.
43 Cunsepi Jesuh naw, “Pung kcea pi Pamhnama khawa mawng thangkdaw ka pyen khaia kyaki, acun vaia tüih lawa ka kyaki ni,” a ti.
Jesus, however, said to them, “I must take the good news of the kingdom of God to the other towns too, for that was why I was sent.”
44 Acunakyase acuna khawaa awmkia Sinakok hea k'uma ngthu sang hüki.
And he continued to make his proclamation in the synagogues of Judea.
