Ruka 4
1 Na, ko Ihu, ki tonu i te Wairua Tapu, hoki atu ana i Horano, a ka arahina e te Wairua i te koraha,
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 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.
All that time he ate nothing; and, when it was over, he became hungry.
3 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.
So the devil said to him, “If you are God’s Son, tell this stone to become a loaf of bread.”
4 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.
And Jesus answered him, “Scripture says – ‘It is not on bread alone that a person is to live.’”
5 Katahi ka arahina ia e ia ki runga, a mea kau iho kua whakakitea ki a ia nga rangatiratanga katoa o te ao.
And the devil led Jesus up, and showing him in a single moment all the kingdoms of the earth, said to him,
6 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.
“I will give you all this power, and the splendor of them; for it has been given into my hands and I give it to whom I wish.
7 Na, ki te koropiko koe ki toku aroaro, mou katoa.
If you worship me, it will all be yours.”
8 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.
And Jesus answered him, “Scripture says – ‘You should worship the Lord your God, and worship him only.’”
9 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:
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 Kua oti hoki te tuhituhi, Ka korerotia iho koe e ia ki ana anahera, kia tiakina koe:
for scripture says – ‘He will give his angels commands about you, to guard you safely,’
11 A, ma ratou koe e hoki ake ki o ratou ringa, kei tutuki tou waewae ki te kohatu.
And ‘On their hands they will lift you up, otherwise you might strike your foot against a stone.’”
12 Na ka whakahoki a Ihu, ka mea ki a ia, Kua takoto te korero, Aua e whakamatautau ki te Ariki, ki tou Atua.
But Jesus answered him, “It is said – ‘You must not tempt the Lord your God.’”
13 A ka mutu katoa nga whakamatautauranga a te rewera, ka mawehe atu i a ia mo tetahi wahi.
When he had tried every kind of temptation, the devil left Jesus, until another opportunity.
14 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.
Moved by the power of the Spirit, Jesus returned to Galilee. Reports about him spread through all that region;
15 Ka whakaako ia i roto i o ratou whare karakia, me te whakakororia te katoa i a ia.
and he began to teach in their synagogues, and was honored by everyone.
16 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.
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 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,
He was given the book of the prophet Isaiah; and Jesus opened the book and found the place where it says –
18 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,
‘The Spirit of the Lord is on 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 Ki te kauwhau i te tau manakohanga mai a te Ariki.
to proclaim the year of the Lord’s favor.’
20 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.
Then, closing the book and returning it to the attendant, he sat down. The eyes of all in the synagogue were fixed on him,
21 Katahi ia ka anga ka korero ki a ratou, Nonaianei, i o koutou taringa e whakarongo mai nei, i mana ai tenei karaipiture.
and Jesus began, “This very day this passage has been fulfilled in your hearing.”
22 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?
All who were present spoke well of him, and were astonished at the beautiful words that fell from his lips. “Isn’t Joseph’s son?” they asked.
23 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.
“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 I mea ano ia, He pono taku e mea nei ki a koutou, E kore te poropiti e manakohia i tona ake whenua.
I tell you,” he continued, “that no prophet is acceptable in his own country.
25 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;
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 Heoi kihai a Iraia i tonoa ki tetahi o ratou, ki a Harepata anake o Hairona, ki te wahine pouaru.
and yet it was not to one of them that Elijah was sent, but to a widow at Zarephath in Sidonia.
27 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.
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 A ki tonu i te riri te hunga katoa i te whare karakia, i te rongonga ki enei mea;
All the people in the synagogue, as they listened to this, became enraged.
29 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.
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 Otira i tika ia ra waenganui o ratou a haere ana.
But he passed through the middle of the crowd and went on his way.
31 A ka tae ki Kaperenauma, ki tetahi pa o Kariri, ka whakaako i a ratou i te hapati.
Then Jesus went down to Capernaum, a city in Galilee. On the Sabbath he taught the people.
32 Na ka miharo ratou ki tana ako: i whai mana hoki tana kupu.
They were amazed at his teaching, because his words were spoken with authority.
33 Na i te whare karakia tetahi tangata he wairua rewera poke tona. nui atu tona reo ki te karanga,
In the synagogue there was a man with the spirit of a foul demon in him, who called out loudly,
34 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.
“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 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.
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 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.
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 marvelous authority, and they come out.”
37 A paku ana tona rongo puta noa i nga wahi tutata katoa.
And rumors about Jesus traveled through every place in the region.
38 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.
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 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.
Bending over her, he rebuked the fever; the fever left her, and she immediately got up and began to take care of them.
40 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.
At sunset, all who had friends suffering from various diseases took them to Jesus; and he placed his hands on everyone of them and cured them.
41 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.
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 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.
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 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.
Jesus, however, said to them, “I must take the good news of the kingdom of God to the other towns too, for that was why I was sent.”
44 A kauwhau ana ia i nga whare karakia o Kariri.
And he continued to make his proclamation in the synagogues of Judea.
