Luke 4
1 As Jesus left the Jordan [River valley], the Holy Spirit was completely controlling him.
Linu Jesu, chokwi zula Luhuho Lujolola, hakazwa kulwizi lwa Jodani, mi ava yendiswe Luhuho mwi halaupa.
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.
havena mazuva ena makumi one nalikiwa kwa javulusi. Kakwina cha va lile mwao mazuva, mi kuma manisilizo eyo inako chava fwile inzala.
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]!”
Javulusi cha wamba kwali, “Haiva u Mwana we Ireza, ulaele ilibwe ive chinkwa.”
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].”
Jesu cha mwitava, “Kuñoletwe, Muntu kahali vulyo ha chinkwa.”
5 Then the devil took him on top of [a high mountain] and showed him in an instant all the nations in the world.
Linu javulusi cha mutwala ha chivaka chile, ni ku mutondeza mivuso yonse ye inkanda hohwaho vulyo.
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!
Javulusi cha wamba kwali, “Ka ni kuhe vuyendisi bwe inkanda ni vulotu vonse, kakuti zivahewa kwangu, mi ni wola kuziha yense unisaka.
7 So if you worship me, I will [let] you [rule] them all!”
haiva chiwani kuvamela ni kuni kunkwila muive yako.”
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!’”
Jesu che tava cha muti, Kuñoletwe, mo kunkwile Simwine Ireza, mi hape mo mutendele yenke.”
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.
Linu javulusi cheza kutwala Jesu mwa Jerusalema niku muvika ha chivaka chichilelele cha muzako we tempele, mi chati kwali, “Heiva u Mwana we Ireza, lisohele hansi kuzwa hanu.
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)].
“Kakuti ku ñoletwe, mwa laele ma ñiloi akwe, a amana niwe, aku vukeleze,
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.’”
mi hape, 'Ka akunyemune muma yanza ao, kuti kenzu u chunchuli itende lyako hebwe.”'
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]’.”
Kuku mwitava, Jesu chati, “Ku wambitwe, 'Kenzu viki Simwine Ireza wako hakulikwa.”'
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.
Cwale javulusi ha mana kulika Jesu, cheza ku musiya ni kuyenda haisi imwi inako.
14 As the Spirit empowered him, Jesus returned to Galilee [district. People] throughout all that region heard about what he [was doing].
Linu Jesu havola mwa Galilea muziho zo Luhuho, indava zi amana naye chize zulankana ku zimbuluka chikiliti chonse.
15 He taught [people] in their (synagogues/meeting places). [As a result], he was praised by everyone {everyone praised him}.
Mi chatanga ku luta mu ma sinagoge avo mi vonse chi va mutemba.
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.
Cha keza mwa Nazareta, mwi tolopo mwa va kulili, mi sina ha i vali chizo chakwe, cheza mu ma sinagoge i va li zuva lya la Mugivelo, sina ha i vali chizo, cha zima ni ku vala cha ku huweleza.
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]:
Imbuka ya mupolofita Isaya iva hewa kwali, che yalula imbuka ni kuwana chi vaka hai va ñoletwe,
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}.
Luhuho lwa Simwene lwina hangu, kakuti a vani singi ku wamba makande malotu ku va shevete. A va ni tumi ku nkonkelza intukuluho ku va suminwe, ku lukulula va lyatililwe, mi ni ku vo zekeza ku vona ku va sa voni,
19 And he sent me to declare that now is the time when (the Lord/God) will [act] favorably [toward people].
ni ku konkeleza chi limo cha Simwine che nshemuvo.”
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.
Che yala imbuka, ni ku i voza ku ya vali muvavaleli ne kala hansi. Menso a vonse va vena mu ma sinagoge a va lolete vulyo hali.
21 He said to them, “Today as you have been hearing [MTY] [me speak], [I am beginning] to fulfill this Scripture passage.”
Chatanga ku wamba ku vali, “Sunu i intimana chi ye zuzilikizwa ni mu zuwile.”
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]”
Vonse mwateni chi va va paka ku zavali ku wamba mi chiva komokiswa cha manzwi e zwile chishemo avali ku zwa mukaholo kakwe. Va vali ku wamba, “Uzu mwana Josefa wa muswisu, nandi kanjeye?”
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!’”
Cha wamba ku vali, “Cheniti ka muwambe iyi inguli kwangu, 'Iñanga, lihoze u mwine. Zonse zitu va zuwi zo va pangi mwa Kapenaumi, pange zi swana ni mu munzi we tolopo yako.”'
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].
Kono cha wamba, “Ni mi wa mbila vu niti kakwina mupolofita yo tambulwa mwi tolopo munzi we tolopo yakwe.
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.
Kono mu vuniti ni mi wambila ku vena vafwililwe vangi mwa Isilaele mwinako ya Eliya, i wulu hali ve yalite zilimo zotatwe ni myezi i ma na iyanza ni chonke, chi kweza inanga ikando mu chi vaka chonse.
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.
kono Eliya kena ava tumwa nanga ku umwina wavo, konji kwa Zarefasi mwa Sidoni, ku yo fwililwe ya vali kwi kala mwateni.
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.”
Kuvali kwina ve mbingwa vangi mwa Isilaele mwi nako ya Elisha mupolofita, kono ka kwina kuvali ya va hozwa kwande ya Namani mwina Siriya.”
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]).
Vonse vantu va vena mu ma sinagoge chi ve zula kuvenga hava zuwa izi zintu.
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].
Chiva zimana, ni ku mu hambiliza kuzwa mwi tolopo. Chiva muhitisa ku mu vika ku impela ya chiwulu hava za kitwe itolopo yavo, kuti va musohele he impela ya chiwulu.
30 But he [simply] walked through their midst and went away.
Kono cha va hita hakati kavo mi chaya ku chimwi chi vaka.
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]).
Linu cha na sezumukela mwa Kapenaumi, mwi tolopo ya Galileya, mi ava tangi kuva luta ivali la Mugivelo.
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).
Va va komokiswa mulutilo wakwe, kakuti ava wambi ni vuyendisi.
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,
Hanu mu masinagoge ku vena mukwame ya vena i dimona-luhuho lusajololi, mi chahuweleza ahulu cha linzwi.
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!”
“Mawe! tuswanela kupanganzi nawe, Jesu wa Nazareta? Wakeza ku ku tusinyasinya? Ni kwizi kuti njiweni- Yenke yo Jolola wa Ireza.”
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.
Jesu cha kalimela i dimona, chikuti, “Kenzu wambi zwe mukati kakwe!” Cwale aho i dimona li va soheli mukwame hansi mukati kavo, chilyazwa mukati kakwe, mi kena liva muholofazi ni hakuva vulyo.
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!”
Vantu vonse va va komokwa ahulu, chi va zwila havusu ku wamba zateni zumwi ku zumwi. Chivati, “Kanti manzwi amushovo nzi aa? U laela luhuho lusajololi che nkamaiso ni ziho mi zi zwa.”
37 The people were telling everyone in [every village] in the surrounding region what Jesus [had done].
Linu makande aa amana naye chi atanga kwi zivankana zivaka ku zimbuluka chikiliti.
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.
Linu Jesu chazwa mu ma sinagoge ni kwinjila munzuvo ya Simoni. Hanu makwenyani va Simoni va chanakazi va vakatezwe vutuku bwa kuhisa muvili (isinza), mi chiva mu kumbila cha kuli kombeleza kachakwe.
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].
Linu chazima hali ni ku kalimela isinza, mi nilya musiya. Haho vulyo cha zimana ni kutanga ku vatendela.
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.
Izuva ha limina, vantu chivaleta vonse va vali kulwala matuku avali ku chinchana chinchana kwa Jesu. Chavika mayanza akwe havali vonse ni kuva hoza.
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].
Madimona nao chiazwa muvantu vangi, ni a lila kuhuwa mi nati, “Njewe Mwana we Ireza!” Jesu cha kalimela madimona, mi kena ava azuminini ku wamba, kakuti a vezi kuti ivali nji Kirisite.
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.
Izuva haliza ku zwa, chazwa ni kuya ku chivaka chili patite. Chisi cha vantu chi vali kumu lola chi cheza ku chi vaka kwavena. Chi va lika ku mukanisa kuti kanzi azwi havali.
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.”
Kono chati kuvali, ni swanela ku wamba makande malotu omu muvuso we Ireza ku matolopo mangi, kakuti njivaka hani ni vaka tumwa kunu.
44 So he kept preaching in (the synagogues/Jewish worship places) [in various towns] in Judea [province].
Linu cha zwila havusu ku kutaza mu ma sinagoge mane konse kwa Judeya.
