Luka 4
1 Nake Jesũ akiuma kũu Jorodani aiyũrĩtwo nĩ Roho Mũtheru, agĩtwarwo nĩ Roho werũ-inĩ,
On returning from the Jordan, full of the Holy Spirit, Jesus was led by the power of the Spirit through the Wilderness for forty days, tempted by the Devil.
2 kũrĩa aagereirio nĩ mũcukani matukũ mĩrongo ĩna. Ndaarĩĩaga kĩndũ matukũ-inĩ macio, namo maathira agĩkorwo arĩ mũhũũtu.
All that time he ate nothing; and, when it was over, he became hungry.
3 Nake mũcukani akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Angĩkorwo wee nĩwe Mũrũ wa Ngai, ĩra ihiga rĩrĩ rĩtuĩke mũgate.”
So the Devil said to him: “If you are God’s Son, tell this stone to become a loaf of bread.”
4 Nake Jesũ akĩmĩcookeria atĩrĩ, “Nĩ kwandĩkĩtwo atĩrĩ: ‘To mũgate wiki ũngĩtũũria mũndũ muoyo.’”
And Jesus answered him: “Scripture says — ‘It is not on bread alone that man is to live.’”
5 Ningĩ mũcukani akĩmũtwara handũ hatũũgĩru mũno, na gwa kahinda kanini mũno akĩmuonia mothamaki mothe ma gũkũ thĩ.
And the Devil led Jesus up, and showing him in a single moment all the kingdoms of the earth, said to him:
6 Agĩcooka akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Nĩngũkũhe wathani wa kũu guothe na riiri wakuo wothe, nĩgũkorwo nĩiheanĩtwo kũrĩ niĩ, na no ndĩciheane kũrĩ mũndũ o wothe ũrĩa ingĩenda kũhe.
“I will give you all this power, and the splendour of them; for it has been given into my hands and I give it to whom I wish.
7 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio ũngĩnyinamĩrĩra ũhooe, mothe megũtuĩka maku.”
If you, therefore, will do homage before me, it shall all be yours.”
8 Jesũ akĩmũcookeria, akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Nĩ kwandĩkĩtwo atĩrĩ: ‘Hooyaga Mwathani Ngai waku na ũmũtungatagĩre o we wiki.’”
And Jesus answered him: “Scripture says — ‘Thou shalt do homage to the Lord thy God, and worship him only.’”
9 Nake mũcukani akĩmũtwara Jerusalemu, na akĩmũrũgamia gathũrũmũndũ-inĩ ka hekarũ, akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Angĩkorwo wee nĩwe Mũrũ wa Ngai, wĩgũithie thĩ kuuma haha.
The Devil next led him into Jerusalem, and, placing him on the parapet of the Temple, said: “If you are God’s Son throw yourself down from here,
10 Nĩgũkorwo nĩ kwandĩkĩtwo atĩrĩ: “‘Nĩagaatha araika ake nĩ ũndũ waku makũmenyerere wega;
for Scripture says — ‘He will give his angels commands about thee, to guard thee safely,’
11 ningĩ nĩmagakwanĩrĩria na moko mao, nĩgeetha ndũkaringwo kũgũrũ nĩ ihiga.’”
And ‘On their hands they will upbear thee, Lest ever thou shouldst strike thy foot against a stone.’”
12 Nake Jesũ akĩmũcookeria atĩrĩ, “Maandĩko moigĩte atĩrĩ: ‘Ndũkanagerie Mwathani Ngai waku.’”
But Jesus answered him: “It is said — ‘Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God.’”
13 Rĩrĩa mũcukani aarĩkirie kũmũgeria na njĩra ciothe-rĩ, akĩmũtiga nginya ihinda rĩrĩa rĩagĩrĩire rĩkoneka.
When he had tried every kind of temptation, the Devil left Jesus, till another opportunity.
14 Nake Jesũ agĩcooka Galili arĩ na hinya wa Roho, nayo ngumo yake ĩkĩhunja kũu bũrũri ũcio wothe.
Moved by the power of the Spirit, Jesus returned to Galilee. Reports about him spread through all that neighbourhood;
15 Nake nĩarutanaga thunagogi-inĩ ciao, nao andũ othe makĩmũkumia.
and he began to teach in their Synagogues, and was honoured by everyone.
16 Na rĩrĩ, nĩathiire Nazarethi, kũrĩa aarereirwo, na agĩtoonya thunagogi mũthenya wa Thabatũ, o ta ũrĩa aamenyerete gwĩka. Nake akĩrũgama na igũrũ athome Maandĩko.
Coming to Nazareth, where he had been brought up, Jesus, as was his custom, went on the Sabbath into the Synagogue, and stood up to read the Scriptures.
17 Akĩnengerwo ibuku rĩa gĩkũnjo rĩa mũnabii Isaia. Akĩrĩkũnjũra, akĩona harĩa handĩkĩtwo atĩrĩ:
The book given him was that of the Prophet Isaiah; and Jesus opened the book and found the place where it says —
18 “Roho wa Mwathani arĩ igũrũ rĩakwa, nĩ ũndũ nĩanjitĩrĩirie maguta nĩguo hunjagĩrie arĩa athĩĩni Ũhoro-ũrĩa-Mwega. Nĩandũmĩte thiĩ nyanĩrĩre kuohorwo kwa arĩa moheetwo, na atĩ arĩa atumumu nĩmegũcooka kuona, na njohorithie arĩa mahinyĩrĩirio,
‘The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, For he has consecrated me to bring Good News to the poor, He has sent me to proclaim release to captives and restoration of sight to the blind, To set the oppressed at liberty,
19 ningĩ nyanĩrĩre mwaka wa gwĩtĩkĩrĩka wa Mwathani.”
to proclaim the accepted year of the Lord.’
20 Agĩcooka agĩkũnja ibuku rĩu rĩa gĩkũnjo, agĩcookeria mũmenyereri wa thunagogi, agĩikara thĩ. Nao andũ arĩa othe maarĩ thunagogi makĩmũrora.
Then, closing the book and returning it to the attendant, he sat down. The eyes of all in the Synagogue were fixed upon him,
21 Nake akĩambĩrĩria kwaria, akĩmeera atĩrĩ, “Ũmũthĩ maandĩko maya nĩ mahingio mũkĩĩiguagĩra.”
and Jesus began: “This very day this passage has been fulfilled in your hearing.”
22 Nao andũ othe makĩmũgaatha na makĩgegio mũno nĩ ciugo njega iria cioimaga kanua gake. Makĩũrania atĩrĩ, “Githĩ ũyũ ti mũrũ wa Jusufu?”
All who were present spoke well of him, and were astonished at the beautiful words that fell from his lips. “Is not he Joseph’s son?” they asked.
23 Nake Jesũ akĩmeera atĩrĩ, “Ti-itherũ nĩ mũkũnjĩĩra thimo ĩrĩa yugaga atĩrĩ, ‘Ndagĩtarĩ, wĩĩhonie wee mwene! Maũndũ marĩa tũiguĩte atĩ nĩ wekire kũu Kaperinaumu meeke gũkũ itũũra-inĩ rĩaku.’”
“Doubtless,” said Jesus, “you will remind me of the saying — ‘Doctor, cure yourself;’ and you will say ‘Do here in your own country all that we have heard that has been done at Capernaum.’
24 Agĩthiĩ na mbere kuuga atĩrĩ, “Ngũmwĩra na ma, gũtirĩ mũnabii wĩtĩkagĩrwo itũũra-inĩ rĩake.
I tell you,” he continued, “that no Prophet is acceptable in his own country.
25 Ngũmwĩra atĩrĩ na ma, nĩ kwarĩ atumia aingĩ a ndigwa Isiraeli matukũ-inĩ ma Elija, rĩrĩa igũrũ rĩarĩ ihinge mĩaka ĩtatũ na nuthu, na ngʼaragu nene ĩkĩiyũra bũrũri wothe.
There were, doubtless, many widows in Israel in Elijah’s days, when the heavens were closed for three years and six months, and a severe famine prevailed throughout the country;
26 No Elija ndaigana gũtũmwo kũrĩ o na ũmwe wao, tiga kũrĩ mũtumia wa ndigwa ũrĩa watũire itũũra rĩa Zarefathu kũu bũrũri wa Sidoni.
and yet it was not to one of them that Elijah was sent, but to a widow at Zarephath in Sidonia.
27 Ningĩ nĩ kwarĩ andũ aingĩ maarĩ na mangũ thĩinĩ wa Isiraeli ihinda rĩa Elisha ũrĩa mũnabii, no gũtirĩ mũndũ o na ũmwe wao wahonirio tiga Naamani ũrĩa Mũsuriata.”
And there were many lepers in Israel in the time of the Prophet Elisha, yet it was not one of them who was made clean, but Naaman the Syrian.”
28 Andũ othe arĩa maarĩ thĩinĩ wa thunagogi nĩmarakarire mũno rĩrĩa maiguire ũguo.
All the people in the Synagogue, as they listened to this, became enraged.
29 Magĩũkĩra makĩmũrutũrũra kuuma itũũra-inĩ rĩu, makĩmũtwara rwere-inĩ rwa karĩma harĩa itũũra rĩu rĩakĩtwo, nĩguo mamũikie na kũu kĩharũrũka-inĩ.
Starting up, they drove Jesus out of the town, and led him to the brow of the hill on which their town stood, intending to hurl him down.
30 Nowe Jesũ akĩgerera gatagatĩ-inĩ ka andũ, agĩĩthiĩra.
But he passed through the middle of the crowd and went on his way.
31 Agĩcooka agĩikũrũka, agĩthiĩ Kaperinaumu, itũũra rĩarĩ Galili, na mũthenya wa Thabatũ akĩambĩrĩria kũruta andũ.
Then Jesus went down to Capernaum, a city in Galilee. On the Sabbath he taught the people.
32 Nao andũ makĩgega nĩ ũndũ wa ũrutani wake, tondũ ndũmĩrĩri yake yarĩ ya wathani.
They were amazed at his teaching, because his words were spoken with authority.
33 Na rĩrĩ, kũu thĩinĩ wa thunagogi nĩ kwarĩ na mũndũ warĩ na ndaimono, nĩyo ngoma thũku. Nake akĩanĩrĩra na mũgambo mũnene, akiuga atĩrĩ,
In the Synagogue there was a man with the spirit of a foul demon in him, who called out loudly:
34 “Hĩ! Ũrenda atĩa na ithuĩ, wee Jesũ wa Nazarethi? Ũũkĩte gũtũniina? Nĩngũũĩ, we nĩwe ũrĩa Mũtheru wa Ngai!”
“Stop! What do you want with us, Jesus of Nazareth? Have you come to destroy us? I know who you are — the Holy One of God!”
35 Nake Jesũ akĩmĩkũma, akĩmĩĩra atĩrĩ, “Kira, na uume thĩinĩ wake!” Nayo ndaimono ĩyo ĩkĩgũithia mũndũ ũcio thĩ hau mbere yao othe, ĩkiuma na ndĩamũtihirie.
But Jesus rebuked the demon. “Be silent! Come out from him,” he said. The demon flung the man down in the middle of the people, and then came out from him, without causing him further harm.
36 Nao andũ othe makĩgega makĩũrania atĩrĩ, “Kaĩ ũrutani ũyũ ũhaana atĩa? Araatha ngoma thũku arĩ na wathani na hinya, nacio ikoima!”
And they were all lost in amazement, and kept saying to one another: “What words are these? For he gives his commands to the foul spirits with a marvellous authority, and they come out.”
37 Nayo ngumo yake ĩkĩhunja kũrĩa guothe kwariganĩtie na kũu.
And rumours about Jesus traveled through every place in the neighbourhood.
38 Nake Jesũ akiuma thunagogi, agĩthiĩ mũciĩ gwa Simoni. Na rĩrĩ, nyina wa mũtumia wa Simoni aarĩ mũrũaru mũrimũ wa kũhiũha mwĩrĩ mũno, nao magĩthaitha Jesũ nĩ ũndũ wake.
On leaving the Synagogue, Jesus went into Simon’s house. Now Simon’s mother-in-law was suffering from a severe attack of fever, and they asked Jesus to cure her.
39 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio, akĩinamĩrĩra harĩ we, na agĩatha mũrimũ ũcio uume mwĩrĩ wake, naguo ũkiuma. Nake mũtumia ũcio agĩũkĩra o rĩmwe na akĩambĩrĩria kũmatungatĩra.
Bending over her, he rebuked the fever; the fever left her, and she immediately got up and began to wait upon them.
40 Na rĩrĩa riũa rĩathũaga, andũ makĩrehera Jesũ andũ arĩa othe maarĩ na mĩrimũ ngũrani, nake akĩmaigĩrĩra moko o mũndũ o mũndũ, akĩmahonia.
At sunset, all who had friends suffering from various diseases took them to Jesus; and he placed his hands upon every one of them and cured them.
41 O na ningĩ ndaimono ikiuma andũ aingĩ, ikĩanagĩrĩra atĩrĩ, “Wee nĩwe Mũrũ wa Ngai!” Nowe agĩcikaania na agĩcigiria ciarie, tondũ nĩcioĩ atĩ nĩwe Kristũ.
And even demons came out from many people, screaming ‘You are the Son of God.’ Jesus rebuked them, and would not allow them to speak, because they knew that he was the Christ.
42 Na gwakĩa-rĩ, Jesũ akiumagara agĩthiĩ kũndũ gũtaarĩ andũ. Nao andũ makĩmũcaria, na rĩrĩa maakinyire harĩa aarĩ, makĩgeria kũmũgirĩrĩria ndakoime kũu amatige.
At daybreak, Jesus went out and walked to a lonely spot. But crowds of people began to look for him; and they came to where he was and tried to detain him and prevent his leaving them.
43 Nowe akĩmeera atĩrĩ, “No nginya hunjie Ũhoro-ũrĩa-Mwega wa ũthamaki wa Ngai matũũra-inĩ marĩa mangĩ o namo, nĩ ũndũ nĩkĩo ndaatũmirwo.”
Jesus, however, said to them: “I must take the Good News of the Kingdom of God to the other town also, for that was why I was sent.”
44 Nake agĩthiĩ na mbere na kũhunjia thĩinĩ wa thunagogi cia Judea.
And he continued to make his proclamation in the Synagogues of Judea.
