Luke 4
1 As Jesus left the Jordan [River valley], the Holy Spirit was completely controlling him.
Na, ko Ihu, ki tonu i te Wairua Tapu, hoki atu ana i Horano, a ka arahina e te Wairua i te koraha,
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.
Mo nga ra e wha tekau, whakamatautauria ai e te rewera. Kihai ia i kai i tetahi mea i aua ra; a, no ka pahemo, ka hiakai ia.
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]!”
Na ka mea te rewera ki a ia, Ki te mea ko te tama koe a te Atua, kiia iho tenei kohatu kia meinga hei taro.
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].”
Na ka whakahoki a Ihu ki a ia, ka mea, Kua oti te tuhituhi, E kore e ora te tangata i te taro kau, engari a nga kupu katoa a te Atua.
5 Then the devil took him on top of [a high mountain] and showed him in an instant all the nations in the world.
Katahi ka arahina ia e ia ki runga, a mea kau iho kua whakakitea ki a ia nga rangatiratanga katoa o te ao.
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!
Ka mea te rewera ki a ia, Maku e hoatu ki a koe tenei rangatiratanga katoa, me te kororia o enei mea: kua tukua hoki ki ahau; a ka hoatu e ahau ki taku e pai ai.
7 So if you worship me, I will [let] you [rule] them all!”
Na, ki te koropiko koe ki toku aroaro, mou katoa.
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!’”
Na ka whakahoki a Ihu ki a ia, ka mea, Kua oti te tuhituhi, Me koropiko koe ki te Ariki, ki tou Atua, me mahi ano ki a ia anake.
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.
Na ka kawea ia e ia ki Hiruharama, a whakaturia ana ki runga ki te keokeonga o te temepara, na ka mea ia ki a ia, Ki te mea ko te Tama koe a te Atua, rere atu i konei ki raro:
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)].
Kua oti hoki te tuhituhi, Ka korerotia iho koe e ia ki ana anahera, kia tiakina koe:
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.’”
A, ma ratou koe e hoki ake ki o ratou ringa, kei tutuki tou waewae ki te kohatu.
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]’.”
Na ka whakahoki a Ihu, ka mea ki a ia, Kua takoto te korero, Aua e whakamatautau ki te Ariki, ki tou Atua.
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.
A ka mutu katoa nga whakamatautauranga a te rewera, ka mawehe atu i a ia mo tetahi wahi.
14 As the Spirit empowered him, Jesus returned to Galilee [district. People] throughout all that region heard about what he [was doing].
Na ka hoki a Ihu i runga i te kaha o te Wairua ki Kariri: a haere ana tona rongo a puta noa i nga wahi tata katoa.
15 He taught [people] in their (synagogues/meeting places). [As a result], he was praised by everyone {everyone praised him}.
Ka whakaako ia i roto i o ratou whare karakia, me te whakakororia te katoa i a ia.
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.
Na ka haere ia ki Nahareta, ki te wahi i whangaia ai ia: a ka tomo i te ra hapati ki te whare karakia, ko tana hanga hoki ia, ka whakatika ki te korero pukapuka.
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]:
A ka hoatu ki a ia te pukapuka a Ihaia poropiti. A, no ka wherahia te pukapuka, ka kitea e ia te wahi i tenei tuhituhinga,
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}.
Kei ahau te wairua o te Ariki, nana nei hoki ahau i whakawahi, hei kauwhau i te rongopai ki te hunga rawakore; kua tonoa ahau e ia ki te kauwhau ki nga herehere, kia haere noa, ki nga matapo kia titiro, ki te tuku i te hunga e maru ana kia haere noa atu,
19 And he sent me to declare that now is the time when (the Lord/God) will [act] favorably [toward people].
Ki te kauwhau i te tau manakohanga mai a te Ariki.
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.
Na ka kopia e ia te pukapuka, ka hoatu ki te kaitiaki, a noho ana, Na ka titiro matatau ki a ia nga kanohi o te hunga katoa i roto i te whare karakia.
21 He said to them, “Today as you have been hearing [MTY] [me speak], [I am beginning] to fulfill this Scripture passage.”
Katahi ia ka anga ka korero ki a ratou, Nonaianei, i o koutou taringa e whakarongo mai nei, i mana ai tenei karaipiture.
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]”
A i whakapai ratou katoa ki a ia i miharo ki nga kupu pai i puta i tona mangai. Ka mea ratou, Ehara ianei tenei i te tama a Hohepa?
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!’”
Ka mea ia ki a ratou, Tera pea e puaki mai i a koutou tenei kupu whakarite ki ahau, E rata, rongoa koe i a koe ano: ko nga mea i rongo ai matou kua meinga ki Kaperenauma, meinga hoki ki konei, ki tou whenua.
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].
I mea ano ia, He pono taku e mea nei ki a koutou, E kore te poropiti e manakohia i tona ake whenua.
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.
Otira he pono taku e mea nei ki a koutou, He tokomaha nga pouaru i roto i a Iharaira i nga ra i a Iraia, i te rangi kua oti te kopani i nga tau e toru i nga marama e ono, i te matekaitanga nui o te whenua katoa;
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.
Heoi kihai a Iraia i tonoa ki tetahi o ratou, ki a Harepata anake o Hairona, ki te wahine pouaru.
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.”
He tokomaha hoki nga repera i roto i a Iharaira, i nga ra o Eriha poropiti: a kihai tetahi o ratou i whakamakia, ko Naamana anake, ko te Hiriani.
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]).
A ki tonu i te riri te hunga katoa i te whare karakia, i te rongonga ki enei mea;
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].
Na ko to ratou whakatikanga ake, ka maka i a ia ki waho o te pa, a arahina ana ia ki te pari o te puke i hanga ai to ratou pa, kia whakataka ai ia ki raro.
30 But he [simply] walked through their midst and went away.
Otira i tika ia ra waenganui o ratou a haere ana.
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]).
A ka tae ki Kaperenauma, ki tetahi pa o Kariri, ka whakaako i a ratou i te hapati.
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).
Na ka miharo ratou ki tana ako: i whai mana hoki tana kupu.
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,
Na i te whare karakia tetahi tangata he wairua rewera poke tona. nui atu tona reo ki te karanga,
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!”
Ka mea, Kati ra; he aha matou nau, e Ihu o Nahareta; kua tae mai koe ki te whakangaro i a matou? e mohio ana ahau ki a koe, ko wai koe; ko te Mea Tapu a te Atua.
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.
Na riria iho ia e Ihu, ka mea ia, Kati te korero, puta mai hoki i roto i a ia. Katahi te rewera ka turaki i a ia ki waenganui, a puta mai ana i roto i a ia, kihai hoki tera i ahatia.
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!”
Na tau ana te miharo ki a ratou katoa, ka korerorero tetahi ki tetahi, ka mea, He aha tenei kupu? mana tonu nei hoki tana tono i nga wairua poke, kaha tonu, a puta mai ana ki waho.
37 The people were telling everyone in [every village] in the surrounding region what Jesus [had done].
A paku ana tona rongo puta noa i nga wahi tutata katoa.
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.
A, ko tona whakatikanga i te whare karakia, tomo tonu ki te whare o Haimona. Na e mate ana te whaea o te wahine a Haimona, he nui te kirika; ka inoi ratou ki a ia mona.
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].
Na ka tu ia ki runga i a ia, a riria iho te kirika; a mutu ake: na ara tonu ake ia kei te taka mea ma ratou.
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.
I te toenetanga o te ra ka kawea mai ki a ia e nga tangata katoa nga mea o ratou e mate ana i te tini o nga mate; na whakapakia iho e ia ona ringa ki tenei, ki tenei o ratou, a ora ake ratou.
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].
He tokomaha hoki te hunga i puta mai nga rewera i roto i a ratou; i karanga hoki aua wairua i mea, Ko te Tama koe a te Atua. A riria ana ratou e ia, kihai i tukua kia korero: i matau hoki ratou ko te Karaiti ia.
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.
Ka ao te ra, ka puta atu ia, ka haere ki tetahi wahi koraha: a ka rapu nga mano i a ia, ka tae ki a ia, na puritia ana ia, kei whakarerea ratou e ia.
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.”
Ka mea ia ki a ratou, Me kauwhau e ahau te rangatiratanga o te Atua ki era atu pa ano: koia hoki ahau i tonoa mai ai.
44 So he kept preaching in (the synagogues/Jewish worship places) [in various towns] in Judea [province].
A kauwhau ana ia i nga whare karakia o Kariri.
