Luke 4
1 As Jesus left the Jordan [River valley], the Holy Spirit was completely controlling him.
Ie niliforeñe amy Arofo Masiñey t’Iesoà le nibalike boak’ am’ Iordaney, vaho niaoloa’ i Arofoy mb’am-babangoañ’ añe,
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.
efapolo andro te nanjizia’ i mpañìnjey ie tsy nikama ndra inoñ’ inoñe amy andro rezay. Modo zay le nisaliko,
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]!”
vaho hoe i mpañìnjey tama’e: Naho toe Anan’ Añahare rehe, ampinjareo mofo o vatoo.
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].”
Hoe ty natoi’ Iesoà aze: Pinatetse ty hoe: Tsy mofo avao ty mahaveloñe ondaty,
5 Then the devil took him on top of [a high mountain] and showed him in an instant all the nations in the world.
Le nendese’ i mpañìnjey niañambone vohitse mitiotiotse eñe vaho natoro’e aze amy zao ze kila fifeheañe an-tane atoy.
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!
Le hoe i Ratiy tama’e: Hatoloko Azo o haozarañe iaby zao naho o enge’ iareoo, fa natolots’ ahy, vaho hatoloko amy ze satriko;
7 So if you worship me, I will [let] you [rule] them all!”
le kila ho Azo t’ie hiambane amako etoañe.
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!’”
Hoe ty natoi’ Iesoà: Hoe ty pinatetse: Iehovà Andrianañahare’o ro hitalahoa’o, ie avao ty hitoroña’o.
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.
Le nendese’e mb’e Ierosaleme mb’eo naho nampiningire’e an-dengom-pitalakesan’ abo’ i Anjomban’Añaharey vaho nanoa’e ty hoe: Naho toe Anan’ Añahare rehe, miponaha ambane ey,
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)].
ty amy pinatetse ty hoe: Ho lilie’e amo Anjeli’eo rehe, hañaro azo;
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.’”
vaho, Ho tanatanà’ iereo, tsy ho dasirem-bato o fandia’oo.’
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]’.”
Tinoi’ Iesoà ty hoe: Hoe ty tsara: Asoao tsy ho tsohe’o t’Iehovà Andrianañahare’o.
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.
Ie nagado’ i mpañìnjey i fanjiziañe iaby zay, le nidisak’aze heike.
14 As the Spirit empowered him, Jesus returned to Galilee [district. People] throughout all that region heard about what he [was doing].
Aa le nibalike mb’e Galilia mb’eo t’Iesoà ami’ty haozara’ i Arofoy; le niboele tok’aia tok’aia amy tane nañohokey ty enge’e.
15 He taught [people] in their (synagogues/meeting places). [As a result], he was praised by everyone {everyone praised him}.
Nañoke amo fitontonañeo re le hene nañonjoñ’ aze.
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.
Nimb’e Nazareta mb’eo re, i rova nahabey azey, le ami’ty lili’e, nizilik’ am-pitontonañe ao ami’ty andro Sabotse, vaho niongake hamaky.
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]:
Natolotse aze ty boke’ Isaia mpitoky; vinela’e i bokey, vaho nioni’e ao ty nisokirañe ty hoe:
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}.
Amako t’i Arofo’ Iehovà, Fa noriza’e hitsey i talili-soay amo rarakeo, Nafanto’e hikoike famotsorañe amo mpirohio, naho fampaha-isahañe amo feio, vaho fampidadàñe amo dinemokeo,
19 And he sent me to declare that now is the time when (the Lord/God) will [act] favorably [toward people].
hitsey ty taon-joba’ Iehovà.
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.
Napele’ Iesoà amy zao i bokey le nahere’e amy mpamandroñey le niambesatse; vaho hene nitalatse aze ty fihaino o am-pitontonañeo.
21 He said to them, “Today as you have been hearing [MTY] [me speak], [I am beginning] to fulfill this Scripture passage.”
Le hoe t’Iesoà tam’ iereo: Fa nihenek’ anindroany an-dravembia’ areo i Sokitse Masiñe zay.
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]”
Aa le sindre nitalily soa aze vaho nidaba amo tsara soa naakam-palie’eo, fe hoe iareo: Tsy ana’ Iosefe v’itoio?
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!’”
Aa le hoe re tam’iereo: Va’e hatao’ areo amako ze oha-drehake zao: O mpanaha, afaho ty vata’o, vaho anò an-tane’o etoan-ka o raha jinanji’ay te nanoe’o e Kapernaomy añeo.
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].
Le tinovo’e ty hoe: Eka! to t’Itaroñako te tsy eo ty mpitoky to-saontsy an-tane’e ao;
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.
To ty volako ama’areo te: Maro ty vantotse e Israele ao tañandro’ i Elia, ie nagabeñe telo taoñe tsy enem-bolañe i likerañey vaho nandrambañe i Taney ty kerè;
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.
fe leo raik’ ama’e tsy nañirahañe i Elia naho tsy i rakemba vantotse nte Zarefata e Sidona añey.
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.”
Maro ka ty niazo’ ty angamàe e Israele ao tañandro’ i Elisa mpitoky, fe tsy ama’e ty nafahañe naho tsy i Namana nte-Sore.
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]).
Ie nahajanjiñe i zay o am-pitontonañeo, le fonga nilifo-kabosehañe,
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].
naho niongake nanafasiotse aze mb’ alafe’ i rovay añe, vaho nendese’ iereo mb’an-tevam-bohi’ i rovay mb’eo hampitsirikoàk’ aze an-kereretsak’ ao,
30 But he [simply] walked through their midst and went away.
f’ie nienga, niranga iareo mb’eo.
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]).
Nizotso mb’e Kapernaomy, rova e Galilia añe re naho nañanatse amo Sabotseo.
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).
Le nidaba iereo amy fañòha’ey amy te ninday lily o tsara’eo.
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,
Teo ty lahilahy am-pitontonañe ao nangara’ ty kokolampa, nitazataza
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!”
ty hoe: Hete! Ino ty itraofan-tikañe, ry Iesoà nte Nazareta? Niavy hanjamañ’ anay v’ Iheo? Fantako rehe; Ihe i Masin’Añaharey.
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.
Trinevo’ Iesoà ami’ty hoe: Mamantsy, iakaro! Aa le nafetsa’ i kokolampay añivo eo re, vaho nifaok’ añe fe tsy nijoia’e.
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!”
Fonga nilatsa, le hoe ty vesoveso’ iareo: Aa vaho akore i tsara zay t’ie aman-dily naho haozarañe ro mañendake kokolampa hifaoke.
37 The people were telling everyone in [every village] in the surrounding region what Jesus [had done].
Le niboele nanitsike i fariparitsey ty enge’e.
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.
Ie nienga i fitontonañey t’Iesoà, le nizilik’ añ’anjomba’ i Simona ao. Niremboremboe’ ty hamae-sandriñe ty rene’ i vali’ i Simonay le nihalalia’ iareo ty ama’e.
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].
Aa le nijohañe ambone’e eo re nitrevoke i hasilokey, vaho nisitak’amy rekambay zay; tsipaepae’e nitroatse re niatrake iareo.
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.
Ie nimotak’àndro, le nendeseñe ze nanañe marare nisilofe’ndra inoñ’ inoñe mb’ ama’e mb’eo, naho songa nanampeza’e fitàñe vaho nampijangañe’e.
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].
Niakatse ami’ty maro ka o kokolampao nikoiake ty hoe: Ihe i Norizañe, Anan’Añaharey! Le nendaha’e vaho nafanto’e tsy hivolañe amy te napota’ iareo t’ie i Norizañey.
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.
Ie manjirik’ andro le nienga mb’ an-tane bangìñe mb’eo fe nitsoeha’ i lahialeñey, ie nomb’ ama’e mb’eo vaho ho nanjitse aze tsy hienga;
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.”
fe hoe re am’iereo: Tsy mahay tsy mitaroñe i Talili-soam-Pifehean’Añaharey an-drova ila’e ka raho fa zay ty nañirahañ’ ahy.
44 So he kept preaching in (the synagogues/Jewish worship places) [in various towns] in Judea [province].
Le nitaroñe amo fitontonañe e Galiliao re.
