Luke 4
1 As Jesus left the Jordan [River valley], the Holy Spirit was completely controlling him.
Yesu, kopongʼ gi Roho Maler, noa Jordan, kendo notere gi Roho nyaka e thim,
2 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.
kama jachien notemee kuom ndalo piero angʼwen. Kuom ndalo piero angʼwen-go ne ok ochamo gimoro e ndalogo duto, to bangʼ ka ndalogo noserumo kech nokaye.
3 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]!”
Satan nowachone niya, “Ka in Wuod Nyasaye adier, nyis kidini olokre kuon.”
4 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].”
Yesu nodwoke niya, “Ondiki ni, ‘Dhano ok bed mangima nikech chiemo kende.’”
5 Then the devil took him on top of [a high mountain] and showed him in an instant all the nations in the world.
Eka Satan notere kama otingʼore malo kendo ka diemo wangʼ nono nonyise pinjeruodhi duto mag piny.
6 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!
To nowachone niya, “Abiro miyi loch mag pinjegi duto gi duongʼ-gi, nimar osemiyagi, kendo anyalo chiwogi ne ngʼato angʼata, madwaro.
7 So if you worship me, I will [let] you [rule] them all!”
Omiyo ka igoyo chongi piny ma ilama, to magi duto biro bedo magi.”
8 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!’”
Yesu nodwoko niya, “Ondiki ni, ‘Lam Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasachi kendo en kende ema itine.’”
9 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.
Eka Satan notere Jerusalem kendo nomiyo ochungo e osuch hekalu malo mogik. Eka nowachone niya, “Ka in Wuod Nyasaye to chikri piny.
10 [You will not be hurt], because it is written {the [Psalmist] wrote} [in the Scriptures], ‘God will command his angels to protect you [(sg)].
Nimar ondiki niya, “‘Obiro miyo malaika mage chik nikech in mondo oriti maber;
11 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.’”
gibiro tingʼi malo e lwetgi, mondo kik ichwany tiendi e kidi.’”
12 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]’.”
Yesu nodwoko niya, “Ondiki bende ni, ‘Kik item Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasachi.’”
13 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.
Kane Satan osetieko temgi duto, noweye nyaka kinde moro machielo.
14 As the Spirit empowered him, Jesus returned to Galilee [district. People] throughout all that region heard about what he [was doing].
Yesu nodok Galili gi teko mar Roho, kendo wachne nolandore e gwenge duto moluoro Galili.
15 He taught [people] in their (synagogues/meeting places). [As a result], he was praised by everyone {everyone praised him}.
Nopuonjo e sinagokegi, kendo ji duto nopake.
16 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.
Nodhi Nazareth kuma nodonge, kendo chiengʼ Sabato nodhi e sinagogi, kaka nobedo kite kendo nochungo mondo osom.
17 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]:
Nomiye kitap Isaya janabi, ka oelogo, noyudo kama nondikie ni:
18 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}.
“Roho mar Jehova Nyasaye ni kuoma, nikech osewira moyiera, mondo ayal Injili ne joma odhier. Oseora mondo aland ne joma otwe ni gin thuolo, kendo ni muofni ni oyaw wengegi, ne joma isando ni ogonygi,
19 And he sent me to declare that now is the time when (the Lord/God) will [act] favorably [toward people].
bende ni mondo aland ni ma e higa mar ngʼwono mar Jehova Nyasaye.”
20 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.
Eka noumo kitabuno, mi nochiwe ni jatich, kendo nobedo piny ka wenge ji duto e sinagogi ne ngʼiye matek,
21 He said to them, “Today as you have been hearing [MTY] [me speak], [I am beginning] to fulfill this Scripture passage.”
to nochako kowachonegi niya, “Kawuono ndikoni chopo kare ka uwinjo.”
22 [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]”
Ji duto nowuoyo maber kuome kendo negiwuoro ahinya weche mag ngʼwono manowuok e dhoge. Negipenjo niya, “Donge ngʼatni en wuod Josef?”
23 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!’”
Yesu nowachonegi niya, “Adier chutho ubiro wachona ngeroni ni, ‘Jathieth, changri iwuon! Tim e dalau ka gigo ma wasewinjo ni ne itimo Kapernaum.’”
24 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].
Nodhi nyime kowacho niya, “Awachonu adiera, onge janabi mirwako e dalagi owuon.
25 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.
Adier awachonu ni ne nitie mon ma chwogi otho mangʼeny e Israel e kinde mar Elija, kane polo olor kuom higni adek gi nus kendo ne nitie kech mager e piny kuonde duto.
26 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.
To kata kamano ne ok oor Elija ir moro kata achiel kuomgi, to makmana dhako ma chwore otho e dala mar Zarefath e gwengʼ Sidon.
27 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.”
Bende ne nitie ji mangʼeny e Israel mane nigi dhoho e kinde mar Elisha janabi to onge kata achiel mane opwodhi makmana Naaman ja-Siria kende.”
28 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]).
Ji duto mane ni e sinagogi ne mirima mager omako kane giwinjo wechegi.
29 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].
Negia malo mine giriembe gigole oko mar dala kendo tere e geng got kama nogerie dalano mondo gidhire olwar piny.
30 But he [simply] walked through their midst and went away.
Kata kamano nowuotho awuotha kokadho e kind oganda modhi kuma nodhiyoe.
31 [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]).
Eka nodhi Kapernaum, dala manie Galili, kendo chiengʼ Sabato nochako puonjo ji.
32 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).
Negiwuoro puonjne, nikech wechene ne nigi teko.
33 [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,
To e sinagogi ne nitie ngʼat moro mane nigi jachien marach. Ngʼatni noywak kogoyo koko matek kowacho niya,
34 “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!”
“En angʼo midwaro timo kodwa, Yesu ja-Nazareth? Isebiro mondo itiekwa koso? Angʼeyo ngʼama in, in Ngʼat Maler Mar Nyasaye!”
35 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.
Yesu nokwere matek niya, “Lingʼ thi! Wuogi ia kuome!” Eka jachien nogoyo ngʼatno piny e nyimgi duto kendo nowuok ma ok ohinye.
36 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!”
Jogo duto nowuoro kendo negipenjore niya, “Ma puonj manade? Kuom teko maduongʼ kod loch, ochiko koda ka jochiende kendo giwuok.”
37 The people were telling everyone in [every village] in the surrounding region what Jesus [had done].
To humb Yesu ne olandore e alwora duto kuonde mokiewo gi gwengʼ mane entie.
38 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.
Yesu noa e sinagogi kendo nodhi e dala Simon. Koro min chi Simon ne nigi tuo midhusi matek, kendo ne gikwayo Yesu mondo okonye.
39 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].
Omiyo nodhi mokulore bute kendo nochiko midhusi mondo oa kendo midhusi noweye. Nochungo oa malo mapiyo kendo nochako miyogi chiemo.
40 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.
Kane chiengʼ podho, ji nokelo ne Yesu ji duto mane nigi tuoche mopogore opogore, kendo noketo lwetene kuom moro ka moro, mochangogi.
41 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].
Moloyo mano, jochiende nowuok oa kuom ji mangʼeny, ka goyo koko niya, “In e Wuod Nyasaye!” To nokwerogi kendo ne ok oyiene jochiendego mondo owuo nikech negingʼeyo ni en e Kristo.
42 [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.
Kane piny oru, Yesu nodhi kar kende. Ji ne manye to kane gibiro kama ne entie, negitemo tame mondo kik owegi.
43 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.”
To nowacho niya, “Nyaka ayal Injilini mar pinyruoth Nyasaye e mier moko bende, nikech ma emomiyo noora.”
44 So he kept preaching in (the synagogues/Jewish worship places) [in various towns] in Judea [province].
To nodhi nyime koyalo e sinagoke mag Judea.
