Luke 4
1 Naʻe liu mai ʻa Sisu mei Sioatani, kuo fonu ʻi he Laumālie Māʻoniʻoni, pea naʻe tataki [ia ]ʻe he Laumālie ki he toafa.
Jesus, full of the Holy Spirit, returned from the Jordan River and was led by the Spirit into the desert,
2 Pea ʻahiʻahiʻi ia ʻe he tēvolo ʻi he ʻaho ʻe fāngofulu. Pea ko e ngaahi ʻaho ko ia naʻe ʻikai te ne kai ai ha meʻa: pea hili ia, naʻa ne fiekaia.
where he was tempted by the devil for forty days. He didn't eat anything during that whole time, so at the end he was starving.
3 Pea pehē ʻe he tēvolo kiate ia, “Kapau ko e ʻAlo koe ʻoe ʻOtua, fekau ki he maka ni ke liliu ko e mā.”
The devil said to him, “If you are the Son of God, command this stone to become bread.”
4 Pea leaange ʻa Sisu kiate ia, ʻo pehē, “Kuo tohi, ‘ʻE ʻikai moʻui ʻae tangata ʻi he mā pe, ka ʻi he folofola kotoa pē ʻae ʻOtua.’”
“It is written in Scripture, ‘You shall not live on bread alone,’” Jesus answered.
5 Pea naʻe ʻave ia ʻe he tēvolo ki he moʻunga māʻolunga, ʻo fakahā fakafokifā pe kiate ia ʻae ngaahi puleʻanga kotoa pē ʻo māmani.
The devil led him up to a high place, and in a rapid view showed him all the kingdoms of the world.
6 Pea naʻe pehē ʻe he tēvolo kiate ia, “Te u ʻatu moʻou ʻae mālohi ni kotoa pē, mo hono nāunau: he kuo tuku mai ia kiate au; pea ʻoku ou foaki ia ko ʻeku faʻiteliha.
Then the devil said to Jesus, “I will give you authority over all of them, and their glory. This authority has been given to me, and I can give it to anyone I want.
7 Ko ia kapau te ke hū kiate au, ʻe ʻoʻou ia kotoa pē.”
Bow down and worship me and you can have it all.”
8 Pea leaange ʻa Sisu, ʻo ne pehē kiate ia, “Sētane, ke ke ʻalu ki hoku tuʻa; he kuo tohi, ‘Ke ke hū kia Sihova ko ho ʻOtua, pea ko ia pe te ke tauhi.’”
“It is written in Scripture, ‘You shall worship the Lord your God, and you shall serve only him,’” Jesus replied.
9 Pea ne ʻomi ia ki Selūsalema, ʻo ne tuku ia ki he tuʻa falelotu lahi, pea pehē kiate ia, “Kapau ko e ʻAlo koe ʻoe ʻOtua, fakatō koe ʻi heni ki lalo:
The devil took Jesus to Jerusalem, set him on the top of the Temple, and told him, “If you are the Son of God, then jump!
10 He kuo tohi, ‘ʻE fekau ʻe ia ʻene kau ʻāngelo kiate koe, ke nau tauhiʻi koe;
For it is written in Scripture, ‘He will order his angels to care for you,
11 Pea, ‘Te nau hapahapai koe, telia naʻa touʻia ho vaʻe ʻi ha maka.’”
holding you up to protect you from stumbling over a stone.’”
12 Pea leaange ʻa Sisu, ʻo ne pehē kiate ia, “Ka kuo pehē, ‘ʻOua te ke ʻahiʻahi kia Sihova ko ho ʻOtua.’”
“It is written in Scripture, ‘You shall not tempt the Lord your God,’” Jesus replied.
13 Pea kuo fakaʻosi ʻe he tēvolo ʻae ʻahiʻahi kotoa pē, naʻe ʻalu ia ʻiate ia ʻo fuoloa [siʻi].
When the devil had completed all his temptations, he waited for another opportunity.
14 Pea foki atu ʻa Sisu ki Kāleli, ʻi he mālohi ʻoe Laumālie: pea naʻe mafola hono ongoongo ki he potu fonua ko ia kotoa pē.
Jesus returned to Galilee, full of the Spirit's power. News about him spread everywhere.
15 Pea ako ia ʻi honau ngaahi falelotu, pea fakamālō ai ʻae kakai fulipē.
Jesus taught in their synagogues, and everyone praised him.
16 Pea haʻu ia ki Nāsaleti, ʻaia naʻe tupu ai ia: pea hū ia ki he falelotu ʻi he ʻaho Sāpate, ʻo hangē ko ʻene faʻa fai, pea tuʻu hake ke lautohi.
When he arrived in Nazareth, where he had grown up, he went to the synagogue on the Sabbath day as usual.
17 Pea naʻe ʻatu kiate ia ʻae tohi ʻae palōfita ko ʻIsaia. Pea ʻi heʻene folahi ʻae tohi, naʻa ne ʻilo ʻae potu kuo tohi ai, [ʻo pehē],
The scroll of the prophet Isaiah was handed to him. Jesus unrolled the scroll and found the place where it's written:
18 “ʻOku ʻiate au ʻae Laumālie ʻo Sihova, Koeʻuhi kuo ne fakanofo au ke u malangaʻaki ʻae ongoongolelei ki he masiva; Kuo ne fekau au ke fakamoʻui ʻae loto mafesi, Ke malangaʻaki ʻae huhuʻi ki he kau pōpula, Mo e fakaʻā ʻoe kui, Ke veteange ʻakinautolu kuo lavea,
“The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, for he has anointed me to announce good news to the destitute. He has sent me to proclaim that prisoners will be released, the blind will see, the oppressed will be freed,
19 Ke malangaʻaki ʻae taʻu lelei ʻo Sihova.”
and to proclaim the time of the Lord's favor.”
20 Pea ne takai ʻe ia ʻae tohi, ʻo ʻange ki he tauhi, pea nofo hifo. Pea sio fakamamaʻu kiate ia ʻae mata ʻokinautolu kotoa pē naʻe ʻi he falelotu.
He rolled up the scroll and gave it back to the attendant. Then he sat down. Everybody in the synagogue was staring at him.
21 Pea ne fua lea ia kiate kinautolu, “Kuo fakamoʻoni ʻi he ʻaho ni ʻae tohi ko eni ʻi homou telinga.”
“This Scripture you've just heard has been fulfilled today!” he told them.
22 Pea naʻa nau fakamālō kotoa pē kiate ia, ʻonau ofo ʻi he ngaahi lea mālie naʻe ʻalu atu ʻi hono fofonga. Pea naʻa nau pehē, “ʻIkai ko e foha eni ʻo Siosefa?”
Everybody expressed their approval of him, amazed at the gracious words that came from his lips. “Isn't this Joseph's son?” they wondered.
23 Pea pehē ʻe ia kiate kinautolu, “Ka ko e moʻoni te mou lea ʻaki ʻae fakatātā ni kiate au, ‘Faitoʻo, fakamoʻui koe:’ pea ko ia kotoa pē kuo mau fanongo kuo fai ʻi Kapaneume, fai foki ʻi heni ʻi ho fonua.”
Jesus replied, “I'm sure you'll repeat this proverb to me, ‘Physician, heal yourself!’ and ask, ‘Why don't you do here in your own hometown what we heard you did in Capernaum?’
24 Pea pehē ʻe ia, “Ko e moʻoni ʻoku ou tala atu kiate kimoutolu, ʻOku ʻikai ha palōfita ʻe ʻofeina ʻi hono fonua.
But I tell you the truth, no prophet is accepted in his hometown.
25 Ka ʻoku ou tala moʻoni atu kiate kimoutolu, naʻe tokolahi ʻae fefine kuo mate honau husepāniti ʻi ʻIsileli, ʻi he ngaahi ʻaho ʻo ʻIlaisiā, ʻi he lolotonga ʻae tāpuni ʻoe langi, ʻi he taʻu ʻe tolu mo e māhina ʻe ono, pea naʻe honge lahi ʻae fonua kotoa;
I guarantee that there were many widows in Israel during the time of Elijah when there was a drought for three and a half years, causing a great famine throughout the country.
26 Ka naʻe ʻikai fekau ʻa ʻIlaisiā ki ha taha ʻiate kinautolu, ka ki he fefine kuo mate hono husepāniti ʻi Salepita ʻi Saitoni.
Yet Elijah wasn't sent to any of them. He was sent to a widow in Zarephath in the region of Sidon!
27 Pea naʻe tokolahi ʻae kilia ʻi ʻIsileli, ʻi he kuonga ʻo ʻIlaisiā ko e palōfita; ka naʻe ʻikai ke fakamaʻa ha taha ʻiate kinautolu, ka ko Neamani ko e Silia.”
Even though there were many lepers in Israel in the time of Elisha, the only one who was healed was Naaman the Syrian!”
28 Pea ko kinautolu kotoa pē naʻe ʻi he falelotu, naʻa nau mātuʻaki lili ʻi heʻenau fanongo ki he ngaahi meʻa ni,
When they heard this everyone in the synagogue became furious.
29 ʻO nau tutuʻu, pea kapusi ia kituaʻā kolo, ʻo tataki ia ki he matanga ʻoe moʻunga ʻaia naʻe tuʻu ai ʻenau kolo, koeʻuhi ke nau lī ia ʻi he lilifa ki lalo.
They jumped to their feet and threw him out of the town. Then they dragged him to the top of the hill on which the town was built in order to throw him off the cliff.
30 Ka naʻe ʻalu ia mei honau lotolotonga, pea mole atu ia,
But he walked right through them and went on his way.
31 ʻO ne ʻalu hifo ki Kapaneume, ko e kolo ʻo Kāleli, ʻo ne ako kiate kinautolu ʻi he ngaahi ʻaho Sāpate.
Jesus went down to Capernaum, a town in Galilee. On Sabbath he started teaching them.
32 Pea naʻa nau ofo ʻi heʻene akonaki he naʻe lea ia ʻi he mālohi.
They were amazed at what he taught them for he spoke with authority.
33 Pea naʻe ʻi he falelotu ʻae tangata, naʻe ʻiate ia ʻae laumālie ʻoe tēvolo ʻuli, pea naʻe kalanga ia, ʻo leʻo lahi,
In the synagogue there was a man who was possessed by a demon. He cried out,
34 ʻO pehē, “ʻE Sisu ʻo Nāsaleti, tuku ai pe; ko e hā ʻakimautolu kiate koe? Kuo ke haʻu ke fakaʻauha ʻakimautolu? ʻOku ou ʻilo koe; ko e tokotaha māʻoniʻoni ʻoe ʻOtua.”
“So, what do you want with us, Jesus of Nazareth? Have you come to destroy us? I know who you are: God's Holy One!”
35 Pea lolomi ia ʻe Sisu, ʻo pehē, “Ke ke fakalongo pe, pea ke haʻu kituʻa ʻiate ia.” Pea kuo lī [ʻae tangata ]ʻe he tēvolo ki he haʻohaʻonga pea haʻu ia kituʻa ʻiate ia, pea naʻe ʻikai te ne fakamamahi kiate ia.
Jesus interrupted him, saying. “Be quiet!” Then he ordered the demon, “Come out of him!” Throwing him to the ground right before them, the demon left the man without injuring him.
36 Pea naʻa nau ofo lahi ai kotoa pē, ʻonau fepehēʻaki, “Ko e hā ʻae akonaki ni! He ʻoku ne fekau ʻi he pule mo e mālohi ki he kau laumālie ʻuli, pea ʻoku nau haʻu kituʻa.”
They were all amazed and asked each other, “What is this teaching? With power and authority he orders evil spirits to leave—and they do!”
37 Pea naʻe mafola hono ongoongo ki he potu kotoa pē ʻoe fonua ko ia.
News about Jesus spread throughout the nearby region.
38 Pea naʻe tuʻu hake ia, mei he falelotu, ʻo hū ki he fale ʻo Saimone. Pea ko e faʻē ʻae uaifi ʻo Saimone kuo pukea ʻi he mofi lahi; pea naʻa nau kole kiate ia koeʻuhi ko ia.
Leaving the synagogue, Jesus went to Simon's house. Simon's mother-in-law was sick with a high fever and those who were there asked Jesus to help.
39 Pea naʻa ne tuʻu hake kiate ia, ʻo taʻofi ʻae mofi, pea mahuʻi ia: ka ka tuʻu leva ia, ʻo tauhi ʻakinautolu.
Jesus went and stood over her. He told the fever to leave her—which it did. She got up right away and prepared a meal for them.
40 Pea kuo tō ʻae laʻā, pea ko kinautolu kotoa pē naʻe ai haʻanau mahaki ʻi he mahaki kehekehe, naʻe ʻomi ʻakinautolu kiate ia; pea ne hilifaki hono nima kiate kinautolu taki taha, ʻo fakamoʻui ʻakinautolu.
When the sun set, they brought to him all who were sick, suffering from various diseases. Jesus placed his hands on them, one after the other, and he healed them.
41 Pea haʻu kituʻa ʻae kau tēvolo mei he tokolahi, ʻonau kalanga, ʻo pehē, “Ko koe ʻae Kalaisi ko e ʻAlo ʻoe ʻOtua.” Pea ne lolomi ʻakinautolu ke ʻoua ʻe fakahā ʻoku nau ʻilo ia ko e Kalaisi.
Demons came out of many people, shouting, “You are the Son of God.” But Jesus stopped them and refused to let them speak because they knew he was the Christ.
42 Pea kuo ʻaho, pea ʻalu ia, ʻo nofo ʻi ha potu lala: pea kumi ia ʻe he kakai, ʻonau omi kiate ia, pea naʻa nau taʻofia ia, ke ʻoua naʻa ne ʻalu ʻiate kinautolu.
Early the following morning Jesus left to find some peace and quiet. But the crowds went out looking for him, and finally found him. They tried to stop him leaving because they did not want him to go.
43 Ka naʻe pehē ʻe ia kiate kinautolu, “ʻOku totonu ke u malangaʻaki ʻae puleʻanga ʻoe ʻOtua ki he ngaahi kolo kehe foki he ko ia kuo fekau ai au.”
But he told them, “I have to go to other towns to tell them the good news of the kingdom of God too, because that is what I was sent to do.”
44 Pea malanga ʻe ia ʻi he ngaahi falelotu ʻo Kāleli.
So Jesus went on traveling around, teaching the good news in the synagogues of Judea.
