Luke 4
1 As Jesus left the Jordan [River valley], the Holy Spirit was completely controlling him.
uYesu ye amemilue nu uMhepo uMimike, akagomwike kuhuma kukikogha ikya Jolidani, na Mhepo akamulongosia ku lihaka
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.
ku fighono fijigho fine, ukuo akagheluagha nu Setano. un'siki ughua nakalile kyokyoni, nu vusililo vwa n'siki ughuo injala jikatengula.
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]!”
uSetano akam'bula akati,” ndeve uve uli mwana ghwa Nguluve, livule ilivue ili live nkate”.
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].”
uYesu akamwamula akati, “jilembilue; “umuunhu naiva nu vwumi kulia un'kate ghwene.
5 Then the devil took him on top of [a high mountain] and showed him in an instant all the nations in the world.
pe pano uSetano akamulongosia kukyanya kuvusililo vwa kidunda, na kukunsona uvutwa vwoni vwa iisi ku n'siki n'debe.
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!
uSetano akambula akati.” nikupela uvutavulilwa vwa vutwa vwoni palikimo nu vunofu vwake”. niwesia kuvomba ndikio ulwakuva fyoni fitavulilwa kulyune, neke une nikumpela ghwoghwoni juno nighanile kukumpela.
7 So if you worship me, I will [let] you [rule] them all!”
pe lino, ndeve ungafughame na kukunyimika, ifinu ifi fyooni fiiva fyako”.
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!’”
neke uYesu akamwamula akati, “jilembilue kuuti, umwimikaghe uMutwa uNguluve ghwako, kange um'bombelaghe umwene mwene”.
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.
pambele uSetano akamulongosia uYesu kuhanga ku Yelusalemu na kukum'bika ulubale ulwa pakyanya fiijo pa nyumba inyimike ija kufunyila na kukum'bula, “ndeve uve uli mwana ghwa Nguluve, ghujitaghe paasi kuhuma apa.
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)].
ulwakuva jilembilue, “ikuvalaghikisia avanyaMhola vaake vakusunge na kukulolela,
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.’”
kange vikukutosia ku kyanya mu mavoko ghave neke kuuti, nungalemasiaghe amaghulu ghako mu livue.
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]’.”
uYesu akamwamula akati, “jijovilue, nungamughelaghe uMutwa Nguluve ghwako”.
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.
uSetano ye amalile kukumughesia uYesu, akamuleka alutaghe kuhanga un'siki ughunge.
14 As the Spirit empowered him, Jesus returned to Galilee [district. People] throughout all that region heard about what he [was doing].
pe pano uYesu akagomoka ku Galilaya ku ngufu sa Mhepo, ni mhola inofu sa mwene sikaluta na kupalasana mu fighavo iya vupipi fyoni.
15 He taught [people] in their (synagogues/meeting places). [As a result], he was praised by everyone {everyone praised him}.
akavulanisie mu nyumba saave isa kufunyila na vooni vakamughinia.
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.
ikighono kimonga akalutile ku Nasaleti, umpulo ghuno akusungilue na kukulia. ndavule vulyale uvuatavike, akingila mu nyumba ija kufunyila. ikighono kya Sabati, akimile na kukwimba amalembe amimike.
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]:
akapelua ikitabu kya m'bili Yesaya, pe akadindulila ikitabu na kulonda pano palembilue,
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}.
uMhepo ghwa Mutwa ali palikimo nune, ulwakuva akamakile amauta kudalikila iMola inou ku vakotofu anhumile kupulisia uvwavuke ku vano vali mundinde, nakukuvavomba vano naviloola vawesie kulola kange. kuvavika vwavuke vano vadidikilue,
19 And he sent me to declare that now is the time when (the Lord/God) will [act] favorably [toward people].
kukughupulisia u mwaka ghuno uMutwa ilivonesia ulusungu lwake.
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.
pe baho akadinda ikitabu, akan'gomokesia umulongosi ghwa nyumba ja kukufinyila, akikala paasi. amaaso gha vaanhu vooni ghalyale pavulongolo ghikumulola umwene.
21 He said to them, “Today as you have been hearing [MTY] [me speak], [I am beginning] to fulfill this Scripture passage.”
akatengula pijova navo akati, “umusyughu ililembe ili lifikile mu mbughulutu sinu”.
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]”
umuunhu ghweni pala akapulike kila kino akajovile uYesu, na vinga mu vanave vakadegha amasio gha vukoola ghano ghakahumagha mu mulomo ghwake. vakale viiti, “uju na ghwe n'swambe lwene ghwa Yosefu, na uluo?”
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!’”
uYesu akavavula akati, “kyang'haani mulijova ulujovo ulu kulyune,” mughanga, ghusosie juve. kyokyoni kino kino ghwavombagha ku Kapelinaumu tupulike, vomba na pakikaja kyako”.
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].
kange akati,” kyang'haani nikuvavula umue, nakwale um'bili juno vikumwitika ku isi jake”
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.
neke nikuvavula umue ikyang'haani kuuti, kwevalyale avafwile vinga ku Silaeli mu n'siki ghwa Eliya pano kukyanya kukadindilue nakungavisaghe ni ula ku maka ghatatu na mesi ntanda, unsiki ghuno kulyane ni njala ing'ome mu isi jooni.
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.
neke uEliya nakasung'ilue kwa muunhu ghweni, neke kwa mfwile jumo juno ikalagha ku Sarepapipi nu mpulo ghwa Sidoni.
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.”
kangekulyale na vakoma mufighono fya m'bili Elisha Isilaeli neke nakwealyale nambe jumo mu vanave juno akasosilue, looli u Naamani umuunhu ghwa ku Silia.
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]).
avaanhu voni vano valyale mu nyumba ija kufunyila ye vapulike aghuo vakava ni ng'alasi.
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].
vakiima na kukumwumia kunji kulikaaja lyave, nakukumulongosia kuhanga kuvusililo vwa kidunda kya likaaja pano umpulo ghujengilue nkyanya jake,
30 But he [simply] walked through their midst and went away.
neke vantaghe paasi. neke akakila vunono pakate pavo na kuluta.
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]).
pambele akikagha ku Kapenaumu, mulikaaja ilya Galilaya. Isabati jimonga jilyale jivulanisia avaanhu mu nyumba ija kufunyila.
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).
vakadegha imbulanisio sake, ulwakuva akavulanisie kuvutavulua.
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,
lino ikighono ikio mun'kate mu nyumba ija kufunyila, kulyale nu muunhu juno alyale ni lipepo ililamafu, akakoola kyongo,
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!”
tuli ni kiki nuve? ghwe Yesu mu Nasaleti? ghwisile kukututipula? nikagula uve veve veni! uve veve mwimike ghwa Nguluve”
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.
uYesu akalidalikila ilipepo akati,” jigha kimie, na uhume kwa muunhu uju!” ilipepo lila lyati lin'taghile umuunhu jula pasi pakate javo, likahuma kwa muunhu jula kisila kumulemasia.
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!”
avaanhu vooni vakadegha na kughendelela kuku n'jovela ku ilio. vakatisagha,” ghe masio maki agha? akughadaga amapepo amalamafu ku vutavulua ni ngufu ghope ghivuka?
37 The people were telling everyone in [every village] in the surrounding region what Jesus [had done].
pe lino imhola inofu isa Yesu sikaghenda imbale sooni sino sisyunguta mukighavo ikio.
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.
uYesu akavuka mulikaaja ilio pe akingila ku nyumba ja Simoni. lino un'kwivw gha Simoni akale ivavua imungu kyongo, vakampelepesia uYesu ansosie.
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].
peeano uYesu akam'belelela akajidalikila imungu jila jikamulekesia, akima na kutengula kuvatengelela.
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.
ilijuva ye lisema, avaanhu voni valyale na vatamu avanga anmu sinosilipinga vakan'twalilagha uYesu. akavikagha amavoko pa kyanya pave, akavasosia voni.
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].
kange amapepo ghakavahuma, vinga vakalilagha ku lisio na kuuti, “uve veve mwana ghwa Nguluve”. uYesu alyaghadalikila amapepo ghaleke pivoja. ulwakuva vakakagwile kuuti, umwene alyale ghwe Kilisite.
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.
unsiki ghuno ye kukile, akaluta ulubale luno lusila vaanhu, ilipugha lya vaanhu valyale vikumulonda vakisa ku lubale luno pweakale umwene. vakaghela kukunsigha nangalutaghe kutali na vene.
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.”
neke akavavula akati,” lunoghile kange kudalikila imhola inofu sa vutwa vwa Nguluve mu makaaja aghange aminga. ulyakuva uluo lwe lwene nikasungilue apa.
44 So he kept preaching in (the synagogues/Jewish worship places) [in various towns] in Judea [province].
pe pano akaghendelela kudalikila mun'kate mu nyumba ijakufunyila ku vaYahudi voni.
