Luke 4
1 Yesu wuba wuwala mu Pheve Yinlongo, wubotuka ku Yolidani. Mpeve yinnata ku dikanga.
Jesus, full of the Holy Spirit, returned from the Jordan River and was led by the Spirit into the desert,
2 Kuna satana kamvukumunina mu tezo ki makumaya ma bilumbu. Kadi kiasa kasia dia ko mu bilumbu beni. Bu biduka, buna wumonanzala.
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 Buna satana wunkamba: —Kamba ditadi diadi dikituka dipha enati widi muana Nzambi.
The devil said to him, “If you are the Son of God, command this stone to become bread.”
4 Yesu wumvutudila: —Disonama ti: mutu kalendi zingilanga kaka mu dipha ko.
“It is written in Scripture, ‘You shall not live on bread alone,’” Jesus answered.
5 Buna satana wunnata va kingiela ayi wummonisa mu khumbu yimosibipfumu bioso bi ntoto
The devil led him up to a high place, and in a rapid view showed him all the kingdoms of the world.
6 ayi wunkamba: —Ndiela kuvana lulendo loso lualu, ayi nkembo wu bimbumu biabi. Bila minu veka ndivanu wawu ayi ndenda kuwuvana kuidi woso mutu nsodidi.
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 Ngeyo kumbuongimina kuandi buna bibioso biobi bieka ba biaku.
Bow down and worship me and you can have it all.”
8 Yesu wumvutudila: —Disonama: Pfumu Nzambi aku niandi kaka fueti buongimina ayi niandi kaka fueti sadila.
“It is written in Scripture, ‘You shall worship the Lord your God, and you shall serve only him,’” Jesus replied.
9 Buna bosi satana wunnata ku Yelusalemi, wuntula ku buangu kilutidizangama kimbata muanzu wu nzo Nzambi ayi wunkamba: —Enati bukiedika ti widi Muana Nzambi, wukilozi ku ntoto bila disonama:
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 Nzambi wela fidisa zimbasi ziandi mu diambu diaku muingi zikeba
For it is written in Scripture, ‘He will order his angels to care for you,
11 ayi ziela kunata mu mioko miawu mu diambu di kulu kuaku kuedibumina thutu mu ditadi.
holding you up to protect you from stumbling over a stone.’”
12 Yesu wumvutudila: —Bakamba: Wulendi vukumuna Pfumu Nzambi aku ko!
“It is written in Scripture, ‘You shall not tempt the Lord your God,’” Jesus replied.
13 Satana bu kamana kumvukumuna mu zithotolo zi phila mu philabuna wuntatukila nate mu thangu yizengo.
When the devil had completed all his temptations, he waited for another opportunity.
14 Buna Yesu wuvutuka ku Ngalili; lulendo lu Pheve luba mu niandi. Tsangu andi yimana tembakana mu zunga kioso.
Jesus returned to Galilee, full of the Spirit's power. News about him spread everywhere.
15 Wuba longanga mu zinzo ziawu zi zikhutukunu ayi batu boso baba kuniemisanga.
Jesus taught in their synagogues, and everyone praised him.
16 Wuyenda ku Nazaleti ku Kayundukila ayi wukota mu nzo yi lukutukunu mu lumbu ki saba bila bobo bu bela kifu kiandi. Wutelama mu diambu di tanga masonoko.
When he arrived in Nazareth, where he had grown up, he went to the synagogue on the Sabbath day as usual.
17 Buna bamvana nkanda wu mbikudi Ezayi. Bu kazibula nkanda beni, wubua va tini kisonama mambu mama:
The scroll of the prophet Isaiah was handed to him. Jesus unrolled the scroll and found the place where it's written:
18 Pheve yi Pfumu yidi va minu bila wutsodula mu longa Nsambu Wumbote kuidi minsukami, wumfidisa mu yamikisa khudulu yi batu bakangama, mu zibula meso ma baphofo, mu nata phulusu kuidi batu banyamusu
“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 ayi yamikisa mvu wu nlemvo wu Pfumu.
and to proclaim the time of the Lord's favor.”
20 Wuzibika nkanda beni ayi wuvutula wawu kuidi kisadi ki nzo yi lukutukunu bosi wuvuanda. Meso ma batu boso baba mu nzo yi lukutukunu maba kuntala.
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 Buna wuba kamba: —Buabu, masonuku mama ma luwilu masundukidi.
“This Scripture you've just heard has been fulfilled today!” he told them.
22 Batu boso bantelimina kimbangi. Basimina mu diambu di mambu ma nlemvo matotukila mu munu andi. Buna batuba: —Niandi ko muana Zefu e?
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 Buna wuba kamba: —Bukiedika ti ma lukhamba kingana kiaki: “Munganga, wukibelusa ngeyo veka!” ayi maluthela: “Tuwilu mambu mavangimini ku Kafalinawumi. Vanga buawu kuaku, mu divula diaku!”
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 Buna wubuela ku bakamba ti: Bukiedika ndikulukamba ti kuisi ko mbikudi wela yakulu bumboti mu tsi andi!
But I tell you the truth, no prophet is accepted in his hometown.
25 Bukiedika ndikulukamba ti mafuola maba mawombo mu Iseli mu thangu Eli. Zimvula zisia noka ko mu tezo ki mimvu mintatu ayi ndambu; ayi kanda kingolo kiba mu tsi yoso.
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 Vayi Eli kasia fidusu kuidi mfuola moso ko. Vayi kuidi difuoladimosi diba zingilanga ku Salapeta, mu tsi yi Sidoni.
Yet Elijah wasn't sent to any of them. He was sent to a widow in Zarephath in the region of Sidon!
27 Batu babela buazi baba bawombo mu Ieli mu thangu mbikudi Elisa vayi kadi wumosi mu bawu kasia vedusu ko; botula kaka Namani muisi Sili.
Even though there were many lepers in Israel in the time of Elisha, the only one who was healed was Naaman the Syrian!”
28 Batu boso baba muna nzo yi lukutuku bafuema ngolo bu awa mambu mama.
When they heard this everyone in the synagogue became furious.
29 Batelama, banata Yesu ku nganda yi divula; nate ku tsongi wu mongo, kutungulu divula beni. Bannata kuna muingi bannunguna ku tsi.
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 Vayi wufielumuka va khatitsikꞌawu ayi wuyenda kuandi.
But he walked right through them and went on his way.
31 Wuyenda ku Kafalinawumi, divula di Ngalili. Kuawu kaba longila mu lumbu bi saba.
Jesus went down to Capernaum, a town in Galilee. On Sabbath he started teaching them.
32 Basimina buwombo mu wa malongi mandi bila wulongila mu lulendo.
They were amazed at what he taught them for he spoke with authority.
33 Muna nzo lukutukunu muba mutu wumosi wuba mpeve yimbimbi, wuyamikina mu ndinga yingolo:
In the synagogue there was a man who was possessed by a demon. He cried out,
34 —A Yesu muisi Nazaleti, mambu mbi tuidi betu yaku e? Wizidi mu kutubunga e? Minu nzebi ti ngeyo widi nani: Widi mutu wunlongo wu Nzambi.
“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 Yesu wutemina pheve yimbimbi ayi wuntumina: —Bika biyoko; totuka mu mutu wawu! Mpeve beni yimbimbi yilumba mutu beni va tsi, va meso ma batu boso babavana. Buna yitotuka mu kambu kumvanga mpasi.
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 Batu boso basimina ayi bayuvasana bawu na bawu: —A mambu mbi mama e? Bila niandi wumvana zithumunu kuidi ziphevi zimbimbi mu kibakala ayi mu lulendo ayi ziawu zilembu totuka.
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 Tsangu yi Yesu yimuangana mu mala moso ma zunga kina.
News about Jesus spread throughout the nearby region.
38 Bu katotuka mu nzo yi lukutukunu, wuyenda ku nzo yi Simoni. Nzitu wu Simoni wuba zinzangala zingolo ayi baleba Yesu muingi kambelusa.
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 Wuyinama va kaba, wutemina zinzangala ayi ziawu zitumbu kumbika. Buna nzitu wu Simoni wutelama mu nsualu ayi wuba kubikila bidia.
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 Thangu buna yeka diama, baboso baba bedisa bambevo banata bambevo ziawu, ziba bimbevo bi mpila mu mpila, kuidi Yesu. Wutetika mioko kuidi kadika mutu ayi wuba belusa.
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 Ziphevi zimbimbi zitotuka mu batu bawombo. Sumbu zintotuka zi kuenda yamikina: —Ngeyo widi Muana Nzambi. Vayi Yesu wutemina ziphevi beni zimbimbi ayi kasia zivana ko minsua mu yoluka bila zizaba ti niandi Klisto.
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 Buisi buna bukia, Yesu wutotuka ayi wuyenda ku buangu kisuma. Nkangu wu batu wuntomba ayi bu wutula va kaba; batu bazola kunsimbidila mu diambu kabika kuenda.
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 Vayi wuba kamba: —Mfueti samuna diaka Nsamu Wumbote wu Kipfumu ki Nzambi mu mavula mankaka bila diawu ndifidusulu.
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 Buna wulonga mu zinzo zi zikhutukunu zi Yuda.
So Jesus went on traveling around, teaching the good news in the synagogues of Judea.
