< Luke 4 >
1 But Jesus, full of [the] Holy Spirit, returned from the Jordan, and was led by the Spirit in the wilderness
Azɔ Yesu si me Gbɔgbɔ Kɔkɔe la yɔ fũu la dzo le Yɔdan tɔsisi la to, eye Gbɔgbɔ la kplɔe yi ɖe Yudea ƒe gbedadaƒo afi aɖe.
2 forty days, tempted of the devil; and in those days he did not eat anything, and when they were finished he hungered.
Enɔ afi ma ŋkeke blaene, eye Abosam va tee kpɔ le ŋkeke siawo katã me. Meɖu naneke le ŋkeke siawo katã me o, ale dɔ wui vevie.
3 And the devil said to him, If thou be Son of God, speak to this stone, that it become bread.
Abosam gblɔ nɛ be, “Nenye be Mawu vie nenye tututu la, ekema ɖe gbe na kpe siawo be woatrɔ zu abolo.”
4 And Jesus answered unto him saying, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word of God.
Yesu ɖo eŋu nɛ be, “Woŋlɔ ɖe Ŋɔŋlɔ Kɔkɔea me be, Menye nuɖuɖu ɖeɖe ko ŋuti ame nanɔ agbe ɖo o.”
5 And [the devil], leading him up into a high mountain, shewed him all the kingdoms of the habitable world in a moment of time.
Abosam kplɔe yi teƒe kɔkɔ aɖee, eye wòɖe xexea me fiaɖuƒewo katã fiae le ɣeyiɣi kpui aɖe ko me,
6 And the devil said to him, I will give thee all this power, and their glory; for it is given up to me, and to whomsoever I will I give it.
eye wògblɔ na Yesu be, “Wòe matsɔ ŋusẽ sia katã kple ŋutikɔkɔe ana; elabena tɔnyewoe, eye mate ŋu atsɔ wo na ame sia ame si melɔ̃.
7 If therefore thou wilt do homage before me, all [of it] shall be thine.
Eya ta ne èdze klo de ta agu nam ko la, matsɔ wo na wò.”
8 And Jesus answering him said, It is written, Thou shalt do homage to [the] Lord thy God, and him alone shalt thou serve.
Yesu ɖo eŋu nɛ be, “Abe ale si woŋlɔ ɖe Ŋɔŋlɔ Kɔkɔea mee ene la, Mawu ɖeka hɔ̃ɔ ko wòle be míasubɔ.”
9 And he led him to Jerusalem, and set him on the edge of the temple, and said to him, If thou be Son of God, cast thyself down hence;
Azɔ Abosam gakplɔe yi Yerusalem, eye wòtsɔe ɖo gbedoxɔ la ƒe kɔkɔƒe kekeake. Egblɔ nɛ be, “Nenye Mawu vie nènye vavã la, ti kpo tso afi sia.
10 for it is written, He shall give charge to his angels concerning thee to keep thee;
Elabena woŋlɔ ɖi be, “‘Ade se na eƒe dɔlawo le ŋutiwò be woakpɔ tawò nyuie
11 and on [their] hands shall they bear thee, lest in any wise thou strike thy foot against a stone.
woatsɔ wò ɖe woƒe asiwo me, ale be màtsɔ wò afɔ axlã ɖe kpe aɖeke o.’”
12 And Jesus answering said to him, It is said, Thou shalt not tempt [the] Lord thy God.
Yesu ɖo eŋu nɛ be, “Ŋɔŋlɔ Kɔkɔe la gblɔ be, ‘Mègate Mawu wò Aƒetɔ la kpɔ o.’”
13 And the devil, having completed every temptation, departed from him for a time.
Esi Abosam wu tetekpɔwo katã nu la, egblẽ Yesu ɖi dzo le egbɔ hena ɣeyiɣi bubu.
14 And Jesus returned in the power of the Spirit to Galilee; and a rumour went out into the whole surrounding country about him;
Gbɔgbɔ Kɔkɔe la ƒe ŋusẽ yɔ Yesu me fũu azɔ ale wòtrɔ yi Galilea. Eteƒe medidi o la, amewo nyae le nuto sia me kpe ɖo.
15 and he taught in their synagogues, being glorified of all.
Le mawunya deto siwo wògblɔna le woƒe ƒuƒoƒewo ta la, ame sia ame kafunɛ ŋutɔ.
16 And he came to Nazareth, where he was brought up; and he entered, according to his custom, into the synagogue on the sabbath day, and stood up to read.
Eva Nazaret, afi si wonyii le, eye wòyi woƒe ƒuƒoƒe le Dzudzɔgbe ŋkekea dzi abe ale si wòwɔnɛ ene. Esi wòtso be yeaxlẽ mawunya la,
17 And [the] book of the prophet Esaias was given to him; and having unrolled the book he found the place where it was written,
wotsɔ Nyagblɔɖila Yesaya ƒe agbalẽ nɛ be wòaxlẽ. Eʋu teƒe si woŋlɔ ɖo be,
18 [The] Spirit of [the] Lord is upon me, because he has anointed me to preach glad tidings to [the] poor; he has sent me to preach to captives deliverance, and to [the] blind sight, to send forth [the] crushed delivered,
“Aƒetɔ la ƒe Gbɔgbɔ le dzinye, eya ta wosi ami nam ɖo, edɔm ɖa be magblɔ nyanyui la na ame dahewo, edɔm ɖa be maɖe gbeƒã be woaɖe ga aboyomenɔlawo, eye ŋkunɔwo ƒe ŋkuwo aʋu. Ame siwo wote ɖe anyi la, ado le wo teɖeanyilawo si me,
19 to preach [the] acceptable year of [the] Lord.
eye maɖe gbeƒã Aƒetɔ la ƒe ƒe nyui la.”
20 And having rolled up the book, when he had delivered it up to the attendant, he sat down; and the eyes of all in the synagogue were fixed upon him.
Esi wòxlẽ nya siawo vɔ la, etu agbalẽa, tsɔe na dɔla la, eye eya ŋutɔ yi ɖanɔ anyi. Ke ame siwo katã nɔ ƒuƒoƒea la fɔ ŋku ɖe edzi gãa.
21 And he began to say to them, To-day this scripture is fulfilled in your ears.
Yesu gagblɔ na ameawo be, “Mawunya sia va eme le egbeŋkeke sia dzi.”
22 And all bore witness to him, and wondered at the words of grace which were coming out of his mouth. And they said, Is not this the son of Joseph?
Ame siwo katã nɔ xɔa me la kafui, eye woƒe mo wɔ yaa le amenuvevenya siwo wògblɔ la ta. Wobia wo nɔewo be, “Nya kae nye esia? Alo menye Yosef vie oa?”
23 And he said to them, Ye will surely say to me this parable, Physician, heal thyself; whatsoever we have heard has taken place in Capernaum do here also in thine own country.
Yesu ɖo eŋu na wo be, “Ɖewohĩ miaɖo ŋku lododo sia adzi be, ‘Gbedala, da gbe le wò ŋutɔ ɖokuiwò ŋu’ esi gɔmee nye be, ‘Nu ka ta mèwɔ nukunuwo le wò ŋutɔ wò dedu me abe ale si nèwɔe le Kapernaum ene o?’
24 And he said, Verily I say to you, that no prophet is acceptable in his [own] country.
“Vavã mele egblɔm na mi be, bubu menɔa nyagblɔɖila aɖeke ŋu le eya ŋutɔ ƒe dedu me o.
25 But of a truth I say to you, There were many widows in Israel in the days of Elias, when the heaven was shut up for three years and six months, so that a great famine came upon all the land,
Mele egblɔm na mi kple kakaɖedzi be ahosi geɖewo nɔ Israel le Eliya ŋɔli, esi wotu dziƒo nu ƒe etɔ̃ kple afã, eye dɔwuame sesẽ aɖe va anyigba blibo la dzi.
26 and to none of them was Elias sent but to Sarepta of Sidonia, to a woman [that was] a widow.
Gake womeɖo Eliya ɖe wo dometɔ aɖeke gbɔ o, ke boŋ woɖoe ɖe ahosi aɖe si tso Zarefat le Sidon nuto me la gbɔ.
27 And there were many lepers in Israel in the time of Elisha the prophet, and none of them was cleansed but Naaman the Syrian.
Mibu Nyagblɔɖila Elisa, ame si da gbe le Naaman si nye Siriatɔ la ŋu kpɔ. Togbɔ be kpodɔléla geɖewo hã nɔ Israel siwo hiã gbedada vevie hã, Elisa meda gbe le woawo ŋu o, negbe Naaman Siriatɔ la ko.”
28 And they were all filled with rage in the synagogue, hearing these things;
Yesu ƒe nya siawo ve dɔ me na ameawo ŋutɔ le ƒuƒoƒea esi wose wo.
29 and rising up they cast him forth out of the city, and led him up to the brow of the mountain upon which their city was built, so that they might throw him down the precipice;
Woƒe dziwo ho ɖe eŋu ale wotso hetutu asi ʋu me nɛ do goe le xɔa me. Wokplɔe yi togbɛ si dzi wotu dua ɖo la ƒe kɔkɔƒe be yewoatutui tso teƒe sia wòayi aɖadze agame.
30 but he, passing through the midst of them, went his way,
Gake ezɔ to amehawo dome hedzo le wo gbɔ kɔ̃ɔ.
31 and descended to Capernaum, a city of Galilee, and taught them on the sabbaths.
Yesu trɔ yi Kapernaum si nye du aɖe si le Galilea nuto me la me, eye le afi sia egblɔ mawunya na amewo le Dzudzɔgbe ŋkeke ɖe sia ɖe dzi le woƒe ƒuƒoƒewo.
32 And they were astonished at his doctrine, for his word was with authority.
Eƒe nyagbɔgblɔwo wɔ nuku na ameawo katã le afi sia hã, elabena eƒo nu ŋusẽtɔe.
33 And there was in the synagogue a man having a spirit of an unclean demon, and he cried with a loud voice,
Gbe ɖeka esi Yesu nɔ mawunya gblɔm le ƒuƒoƒea la, ŋutsu aɖe si me gbɔgbɔ vɔ̃ aɖe le la de asi ɣlidodo me ɖe eta be,
34 saying, Eh! what have we to do with thee, Jesus, Nazarene? hast thou come to destroy us? I know thee who thou art, the Holy [One] of God.
“Yesu Nazaretitɔ, nu ka ta nèle fu ɖem na mí ɖo? Ɖe nèva be yeatsrɔ̃ mía? Menya ame si nènye, wòe nye Mawu ƒe Vi Kɔkɔetɔ la.”
35 And Jesus rebuked him, saying, Hold thy peace, and come out from him. And the demon, having thrown him down into the midst, came out from him without doing him any injury.
Yesu blu ɖe eta gblɔ be, “Zi ɖoɖoe!” Azɔ egblɔ na gbɔgbɔ vɔ̃ la be, “Do go le ame sia me!” Gbɔgbɔ vɔ̃ la tsɔ ŋutsua xlã ɖe anyi ŋɔdzitɔe, ameha la ƒo zi ɖe eŋu henɔ ekpɔm. Ke gbɔgbɔ vɔ̃ la do go le amea me, eye megawɔ nu vevi aɖekee o.
36 And astonishment came upon all, and they spoke to one another, saying, What word [is] this? for with authority and power he commands the unclean spirits, and they come out.
Esia wɔ nuku na ameawo ŋutɔ, ale wobia wo nɔewo be, “Ŋusẽ ka ƒomevie le ame sia ƒe nyawo ŋu, ale be gbɔgbɔ vɔ̃ ŋutɔwo gɔ̃ hã ɖoa toe?”
37 And a rumour went out into every place of the country round concerning him.
Nukunu si Yesu wɔ la kaka ɖe nutoa katã me le ɣeyiɣi kpui aɖe ko me.
38 And rising up out of the synagogue, he entered into the house of Simon. But Simon's mother-in-law was suffering under a bad fever; and they asked him for her.
Esi Yesu do go le ƒuƒoƒea gbe ma gbe la, eyi Simɔn ƒe aƒe me, eye wòke ɖe Simɔn lɔ̃xo ŋu wònɔ ŋudza sesẽ aɖe lém. Ame sia ame kloe va ɖe kuku na Yesu gblɔ be, “Míeɖe kuku na wò da gbe le eŋu.”
39 And standing over her, he rebuked the fever, and it left her; and forthwith standing up she served them.
Yesu yi ɖatsi tsitre ɖe dɔnɔa ƒe aba gbɔ, eye wòɖe gbe na dɔlélea be wòaɖe asi le eŋu. Dzoxɔxɔ sesẽ si nɔ nyɔnu la ƒe lãme la nu bɔbɔ enumake, eye eƒe lãme sẽ. Ale wòtso yi ɖaɖa nu va ɖo woƒe akɔme.
40 And when the sun went down, all, as many as had persons sick with divers diseases, brought them to him, and having laid his hands on every one of them, he healed them;
Le ɣetrɔ miaa la, kɔƒea me tɔwo katã kplɔ ame siwo katã nɔ dɔ vovovowo lém le woƒe aƒewo me la vɛ na Yesu, eye wòda asi ɖe wo katã dzi heyɔ dɔ wo.
41 and demons also went out from many, crying out and saying, Thou art the Son of God. And rebuking them, he suffered them not to speak, because they knew him to be the Christ.
Gbɔgbɔ vɔ̃ tɔ aɖewo hã nɔ ameawo dome, ke Yesu ɖe gbe na gbɔgbɔ vɔ̃ siawo be woado go le ameawo me, eye wodo go le eƒe nya nu henɔ ɣli dom be, “Wòe nye Mawu Vi la.” Esi Yesu kpɔ be gbɔgbɔ vɔ̃wo nya be yee nye Kristo la, eɖe gbe na wo be woazi ɖoɖoe.
42 And when it was day he went out, and went into a desert place, and the crowds sought after him, and came up to him, and [would have] kept him back that he should not go from them.
Le ŋkeke evea gbe ƒe ŋdi kanyaa la, efɔ, eye wòɖe eɖokui ɖe aga. Ameha la dii vevie le teƒe geɖewo, eye esi wova ke ɖe eŋu mlɔeba la, woɖe kuku nɛ be megadzo o, ke boŋ wòanɔ yewo gbɔ le Kapernaum.
43 But he said to them, I must needs announce the glad tidings of the kingdom of God to the other cities also, for for this I have been sent forth.
Ke Yesu ɖo eŋu na wo be, “Ele be magblɔ mawufiaɖuƒe la ƒe nyanyui la na du bubuwo hã, elabena esia tae wodɔm ɖo.”
44 And he was preaching in the synagogues of Galilee.
Ale wòdzo henɔ tsatsam le Yudea nutowo katã me kpe ɖo, nɔ mawunya gblɔm na amewo le woƒe ƒuƒoƒewo.
