Luke 4
1 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.
Afei Yesu a Honhom Kronkron ahyɛ no ma no fii Asubɔnten Yordan ho maa Honhom no de no kɔɔ Yudea sare so.
2 All that time he ate nothing; and, when it was over, he became hungry.
Ɛhɔ na ɔbonsam kɔsɔɔ no hwɛɛ adaduanan. Saa nna no mu no, wanni hwee. Na ɔkɔm dee no.
3 So the devil said to him, “If you are God’s Son, tell this stone to become a loaf of bread.”
Ɔbonsam ka kyerɛɛ Yesu se, “Sɛ wone Onyankopɔn Ba no a, ka na saa abo yi nnan aduan.”
4 And Jesus answered him, “Scripture says – ‘It is not on bread alone that a person is to live.’”
Yesu buaa no se, “Wɔakyerɛw se, ‘Ɛnyɛ aduan nko ara na ɛho hia onipa wɔ nʼasetena mu.’”
5 And the devil led Jesus up, and showing him in a single moment all the kingdoms of the earth, said to him,
Ɔbonsam de Yesu kɔɔ bepɔw bi so kyerɛɛ no wiase ahenni nyinaa bere tiaa bi mu.
6 “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.
Na ɔka kyerɛɛ Yesu se,
7 If you worship me, it will all be yours.”
“Sɛ wobɛkotow, asom me a, mede ahenni ahorow yi ne mu tumi ne anuonyam nyinaa a wɔde ahyɛ me nsa yi bɛma wo.”
8 And Jesus answered him, “Scripture says – ‘You should worship the Lord your God, and worship him only.’”
Yesu buaa no se, “Wɔakyerɛw se, ‘Som Awurade, wo Nyankopɔn, na ɔno nko ara na som no.’”
9 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,
Afei, ɔbonsam de Yesu kɔɔ Yerusalem de no kogyinaa asɔredan a ɛwɔ hɔ no atifi pɛɛ, na ɔka kyerɛɛ no se, “Sɛ wone Onyankopɔn Ba no ampa ara a, gyaa wo ho fi nea wugyina hɔ to fam!
10 for scripture says – ‘He will give his angels commands about you, to guard you safely,’
Efisɛ wɔakyerɛw se, “‘Onyankopɔn bɛsoma nʼabɔfo abɛbɔ wo ho ban;
11 And ‘On their hands they will lift you up, otherwise you might strike your foot against a stone.’”
na wɔabɛwɛn wʼakwan nyinaa mu; wɔde wɔn nsa bɛma wo so, na wo nan ampem ɔbo.’”
12 But Jesus answered him, “It is said – ‘You must not tempt the Lord your God.’”
Yesu buaa no se, “Wɔakyerɛw se, ‘Nsɔ Awurade, wo Nyankopɔn nhwɛ.’”
13 When he had tried every kind of temptation, the devil left Jesus, until another opportunity.
Ɔbonsam wiee sɔhwɛ no nyinaa no, ogyaw no hɔ kɔe.
14 Moved by the power of the Spirit, Jesus returned to Galilee. Reports about him spread through all that region;
Yesu san baa Galilea a na Honhom Kronkron ahyɛ no ma. Ankyɛ koraa na ne din trɛw faa ɔman no mu nyinaa.
15 and he began to teach in their synagogues, and was honored by everyone.
Ɔkyerɛkyerɛɛ wɔ wɔn hyiadan mu maa obiara kamfoo no.
16 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.
Yesu baa Nasaret, kurow a ne mmofraase wɔtetew no wɔ mu no mu. Na sɛnea ɔtaa yɛ no, ɔkɔɔ hyiadan mu homeda. Ɔsɔre kɔɔ anim sɛ ɔrekɔkenkan Kyerɛwsɛm.
17 He was given the book of the prophet Isaiah; and Jesus opened the book and found the place where it says –
Wɔde Odiyifo Yesaia nhoma hyɛɛ ne nsa na obuee baabi a wɔakyerɛw se,
18 ‘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,
“Awurade Honhom wɔ me so, na wɔafrɛ me sɛ memmɛka asɛmpa nkyerɛ ahiafo. Na menka nkyerɛ wɔn a wɔwɔ nnommum mu se, wobenya ahofadi, na anifuraefo ahu ade ama wɔn a wobu wɔn animtiaa nso anya anuonyam.
19 to proclaim the year of the Lord’s favor.’
Honhom no asoma me sɛ memmɛka se, Awurade adom no aba.”
20 Then, closing the book and returning it to the attendant, he sat down. The eyes of all in the synagogue were fixed on him,
Ɔtoo nhoma no mu de maa ɔhwɛfo no na ɔtenaa ase; na obiara a ɔwɔ hyiadan no mu hɔ no hwɛɛ no komm.
21 and Jesus began, “This very day this passage has been fulfilled in your hearing.”
Afei ɔka kyerɛɛ wɔn se, “Nnɛ na Kyerɛwsɛm no aba mu.”
22 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.
Na kasa pa ne nsɛm ahorow a ɔkaa no yɛɛ wɔn a wɔtee nyinaa nwonwa ma wobisaa se, “Ɛnyɛ Yosef ba no ni?”
23 “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.’
Yesu ka kyerɛɛ wɔn se, “Akyinnye biara nni ho sɛ mode bɛ yi bebu me sɛ, ‘Ɔyaresafo, sa wo ho yare. Nea yɛate afa wo ho sɛ woyɛɛ wɔ Kapernaum no, yɛ bi wɔ wo kurom ha.’
24 I tell you,” he continued, “that no prophet is acceptable in his own country.
“Nanso mereka ama moate ase sɛ, Odiyifo biara nni anuonyam wɔ ne kurom.
25 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;
Nokware ni, Elia bere so no, na mmea akunafo bebree wɔ Israelman mu. Saa bere no osu antɔ mfe abiɛsa ne asram asia enti ɛmaa ɔkɔm kɛse baa ɔman no nyinaa mu.
26 and yet it was not to one of them that Elijah was sent, but to a widow at Zarephath in Sidonia.
Nanso Onyankopɔn ansoma Odiyifo Elia ankɔ obiara nkyɛn sɛ ɔbea kunafo a na ɔwɔ Sarepta a ɛwɔ Sidon no nkyɛn.
27 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.”
Bio, saa bere no na akwatafo bebree wɔ Israelman mu, nanso Odiyifo Elisa ansa obiara yare sɛ ɔsahene Naaman a ofi Siriaman mu no nko ara.”
28 All the people in the synagogue, as they listened to this, became enraged.
Nnipa a wɔwɔ hyiadan no mu tee ne nsɛm a ɔkae no, wɔn bo fuwii papaapa.
29 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.
Wɔde abufuw piapiaa no fii kurow no mu de no kɔɔ bepɔw a wɔn kurow da so no ano sɛ wɔrekɔwɔ nʼatiko ama wakɔhwe bepɔw no ase.
30 But he passed through the middle of the crowd and went on his way.
Nanso ɔfaa wɔn mu kɔɔ ne baabi.
31 Then Jesus went down to Capernaum, a city in Galilee. On the Sabbath he taught the people.
Yesu kɔɔ Kapernaum a ɛwɔ Galilea. Ɔkyerɛkyerɛɛ nnipa no homeda biara.
32 They were amazed at his teaching, because his words were spoken with authority.
Ɛha nso ne nkyerɛkyerɛ no yɛɛ nkurɔfo no nwonwa efisɛ ɔkasaa wɔ tumi so.
33 In the synagogue there was a man with the spirit of a foul demon in him, who called out loudly,
Na ɔbarima bi wɔ hyiadan no mu hɔ a honhommɔne ahyɛ no ma. Ohuu Yesu no, ɔteɛɛ mu se,
34 “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!”
“Yesu Nasareni, mmɛhaw yɛn. Yɛne wo nni hwee yɛ. Woaba sɛ worebɛsɛe yɛn ana? Minim onipa ko a woyɛ. Wone Onyankopɔn Ba Kronkronni no.”
35 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.
Yesu hyɛɛ honhommɔne no se, “Tu fi ne mu kɔ!” Honhommɔne no de ɔbarima no hwee fam na etu fii ne mu kɔe a hwee anyɛ no.
36 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.”
Nnipa no nyinaa ho dwiriw wɔn, na wobisabisaa wɔn ho wɔn ho se, “Asɛm bɛn ni. Onipa bɛn ni a ɔde tumi ne ahoɔden teɛ ahonhommɔne ma wotie yi?”
37 And rumors about Jesus traveled through every place in the region.
Nea ɔyɛɛ yi ho asɛm trɛw faa ɔman no mu nyinaa.
38 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.
Yesu fii hyiadan no mu no, ɔkɔɔ Simon fi kɔtoo sɛ atiridiinini abɔ Simon asebea. Nnipa a wɔwɔ hɔ no srɛɛ no sɛ ɔnsa no yare.
39 Bending over her, he rebuked the fever; the fever left her, and she immediately got up and began to take care of them.
Ɔkɔɔ nea ɔda hɔ kogyinaa ne nkyɛn, teɛɛ ɔyare no ma egyaee amono mu hɔ ara ma ɔsɔre maa wɔn aduan dii.
40 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.
Onwini dwoe no, wɔde ayarefo pii bae se, Yesu nsa wɔn yare. Ɔde ne nsa guu wɔn so saa wɔn yare.
41 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.
Ahohommɔne fii nnipa no pii mu a na wɔreteɛteɛ mu se, “Wone Onyankopɔn Ba no.” Nanso Yesu kaa wɔn anim, hyɛɛ wɔn sɛ wommua wɔn ano, efisɛ na ahonhommɔne no nim sɛ ɔno ne Kristo no.
42 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.
Ade kyee no, Yesu tew ne ho kɔɔ sare so baabi a ɛhɔ yɛ dinn. Nkurɔfo no kyin hwehwɛɛ no na wohuu no no, wɔsrɛɛ no sɛ ɔntena wɔn nkyɛn wɔ Kapernaum hɔ.
43 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.”
Yesu ka kyerɛɛ wɔn se, “Ɛsɛ sɛ meka asɛmpa a ɛfa Onyankopɔn ahenni ho no kyerɛ nkurow afoforo nso, efisɛ ɛno nti na wɔsomaa me.”
44 And he continued to make his proclamation in the synagogues of Judea.
Yesu kyinkyin Yudeaman no mu kɔɔ hyiadan ahorow mu kɔkaa asɛmpa no.
