Luke 4
1 Jesus, full of the Holy Spirit, returned from the Jordan River and was led by the Spirit into the desert,
Afei, Yesu a Honhom Kronkron ahyɛ no ma no firii Asubɔnten Yordan ho maa Honhom no de no kɔɔ Yudea ɛserɛ so.
2 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.
Ɛhɔ na ɔbonsam kɔsɔɔ no hwɛɛ adaduanan. Saa nna no mu no, wanni hwee. Na ɛkɔm dee no.
3 The devil said to him, “If you are the Son of God, command this stone to become bread.”
Ɔbonsam ka kyerɛɛ Yesu sɛ, “Sɛ wone Onyankopɔn Ba no a, ka na saa aboɔ yi nnane aduane.”
4 “It is written in Scripture, ‘You shall not live on bread alone,’” Jesus answered.
Yesu buaa no sɛ, “Wɔatwerɛ sɛ: ‘Ɛnyɛ aduane nko ara na ɛho hia onipa wɔ nʼasetena mu.’”
5 The devil led him up to a high place, and in a rapid view showed him all the kingdoms of the world.
Ɔbonsam de Yesu kɔɔ bepɔ bi so kyerɛɛ no ewiase ahennie nyinaa ɛberɛ tiawa bi mu.
6 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.
Na ɔka kyerɛɛ Yesu sɛ,
7 Bow down and worship me and you can have it all.”
“Sɛ wobɛkoto, asom me a, mede ahennie ahodoɔ yi ne emu tumi ne animuonyam nyinaa a wɔde ahyɛ me nsa yi bɛma wo.”
8 “It is written in Scripture, ‘You shall worship the Lord your God, and you shall serve only him,’” Jesus replied.
Yesu buaa no sɛ, “Wɔatwerɛ sɛ: ‘Som Awurade, wo Onyankopɔn, na ɔno nko ara na som no.’”
9 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!
Afei, ɔbonsam de Yesu kɔɔ Yerusalem de no kɔgyinaa asɔredan a ɛwɔ hɔ no atifi pɛɛ na ɔka kyerɛɛ no sɛ, “Sɛ wone Onyankopɔn Ba no ampa ara a, gyaa wo ho firi deɛ wogyina hɔ to fam!
10 For it is written in Scripture, ‘He will order his angels to care for you,
Ɛfiri sɛ wɔatwerɛ sɛ, “‘Onyankopɔn bɛsoma nʼabɔfoɔ abɛbɔ wo ho ban;
11 holding you up to protect you from stumbling over a stone.’”
na wɔabɛsɔ wo na woammɛhwe abotan no so.’”
12 “It is written in Scripture, ‘You shall not tempt the Lord your God,’” Jesus replied.
Yesu buaa no sɛ, “Wɔatwerɛ sɛ: ‘Nsɔ Awurade, wo Onyankopɔn, nhwɛ.’”
13 When the devil had completed all his temptations, he waited for another opportunity.
Ɔbonsam wiee sɔhwɛ no nyinaa no, ɔgyaa no hɔ kɔeɛ ansa.
14 Jesus returned to Galilee, full of the Spirit's power. News about him spread everywhere.
Yesu sane baa Galilea a na Honhom Kronkron ahyɛ no ma. Ankyɛre koraa ne din trɛɛ ɔman no mu nyinaa.
15 Jesus taught in their synagogues, and everyone praised him.
Ɔkyerɛkyerɛɛ wɔ wɔn hyiadan mu maa obiara kamfoo no.
16 When he arrived in Nazareth, where he had grown up, he went to the synagogue on the Sabbath day as usual.
Yesu baa Nasaret, kuro a ne mmɔfraase wɔtetee no wɔ mu no mu. Na sɛdeɛ ɔtaa yɛ no, ɔkɔɔ hyiadan mu homeda. Ɔsɔre kɔɔ anim sɛ ɔrekɔkenkan Atwerɛsɛm.
17 The scroll of the prophet Isaiah was handed to him. Jesus unrolled the scroll and found the place where it's written:
Wɔde Odiyifoɔ Yesaia nwoma hyɛɛ ne nsa na ɔbuee baabi a wɔatwerɛ sɛ,
18 “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,
“Awurade Honhom wɔ me so, na wɔayi me sɛ memmɛka asɛmpa nkyerɛ ahiafoɔ. Na menka nkyerɛ wɔn a wɔwɔ nnommum mu sɛ, wɔbɛnya ahofadie, na anifirafoɔ ahunu adeɛ ama wɔn a wɔbu wɔn animtiaa nso anya animuonyam.
19 and to proclaim the time of the Lord's favor.”
Honhom no asoma me sɛ memmɛka sɛ, Awurade adom no aba.”
20 He rolled up the scroll and gave it back to the attendant. Then he sat down. Everybody in the synagogue was staring at him.
Ɔtoo nwoma no mu de maa ɔhwɛfoɔ no na ɔtenaa ase; na obiara a ɔwɔ hyiadan no mu hɔ no hwɛɛ no dinn.
21 “This Scripture you've just heard has been fulfilled today!” he told them.
Afei, ɔka kyerɛɛ wɔn sɛ, “Ɛnnɛ na Atwerɛsɛm no aba mu.”
22 Everybody expressed their approval of him, amazed at the gracious words that came from his lips. “Isn't this Joseph's son?” they wondered.
Na kasa pa ne adom nsɛm a ɔkaeɛ no yɛɛ wɔn a wɔteeɛ nyinaa nwanwa ma wɔbisaa sɛ, “Ɛnyɛ Yosef ba no ni?”
23 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?’
Yesu ka kyerɛɛ wɔn sɛ, “Akyinnyeɛ biara nni ho sɛ mode bɛ yi bɛbu me sɛ, ‘Ɔyaresafoɔ, sa wo ho yadeɛ. Deɛ yɛate afa wo ho sɛ woyɛɛ wɔ Kapernaum no, yɛ bi wɔ wo kurom ha.’
24 But I tell you the truth, no prophet is accepted in his hometown.
“Nanso, mereka ama moate aseɛ sɛ, Odiyifoɔ biara nni animuonyam wɔ ne kurom.
25 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.
Nokorɛ mu, Elia ɛberɛ so no, na mmaa akunafoɔ bebree wɔ Israelman mu. Saa ɛberɛ no osuo antɔ mfeɛ mmiɛnsa ne abosome nsia enti ɛmaa ɛkɔm kɛseɛ baa ɔman no nyinaa mu.
26 Yet Elijah wasn't sent to any of them. He was sent to a widow in Zarephath in the region of Sidon!
Nanso, Onyankopɔn ansoma Odiyifoɔ Elia ankɔ obiara nkyɛn sɛ ɔbaa kunafoɔ a na ɔwɔ Sarepta a ɛwɔ Sidon no nkyɛn.
27 Even though there were many lepers in Israel in the time of Elisha, the only one who was healed was Naaman the Syrian!”
Bio, saa ɛberɛ no na akwatafoɔ bebree wɔ Israelman mu, nanso Odiyifoɔ Elisa ansa obiara yadeɛ sɛ ɔsahene Naaman a ɔfiri Siriaman mu no nko ara.”
28 When they heard this everyone in the synagogue became furious.
Nnipa a wɔwɔ hyiadan no mu tee ne nsɛm a ɔkaeɛ no, wɔn bo fuu papaapa.
29 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.
Wɔde abufuo piapiaa no firii kuro no mu de no kɔɔ bepɔ a wɔn kuro da so no ano sɛ wɔrekɔwɔ nʼatikɔ ama wakɔhwe bepɔ no ase.
30 But he walked right through them and went on his way.
Nanso, ɔfaa wɔn mu kɔɔ ne baabi.
31 Jesus went down to Capernaum, a town in Galilee. On Sabbath he started teaching them.
Yesu kɔɔ Kapernaum a ɛwɔ Galilea. Ɔkyerɛkyerɛɛ nnipa no homeda biara.
32 They were amazed at what he taught them for he spoke with authority.
Ɛha nso ne nkyerɛkyerɛ no yɛɛ nkurɔfoɔ no nwanwa ɛfiri sɛ, ɔkasaa wɔ tumi so.
33 In the synagogue there was a man who was possessed by a demon. He cried out,
Na ɔbarima bi wɔ hyiadan no mu hɔ a honhommɔne ahyɛ no ma. Ɔhunuu Yesu no, ɔteaam sɛ,
34 “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!”
“Yesu Nasareni, mmɛha yɛn. Yɛne wo nni hwee yɛ. Woaba sɛ worebɛsɛe yɛn anaa? Menim onipa ko a woyɛ. Wone Onyankopɔn Ba Kronkronni no.”
35 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.
Yesu hyɛɛ honhommɔne no sɛ, “Tu firi ne mu kɔ!” Honhommɔne no de ɔbarima no hwee fam na ɛtu firii ne mu kɔeɛ a hwee anyɛ no.
36 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!”
Nnipa no nyinaa ho dwirii wɔn, na wɔbisabisaa wɔn ho wɔn ho sɛ, “Asɛm bɛn ni. Onipa bɛn ni a ɔde tumi ne ahoɔden tea ahonhommɔne ma wɔtie yi?”
37 News about Jesus spread throughout the nearby region.
Deɛ ɔyɛeɛ yi ho asɛm trɛɛ ɔman no mu nyinaa.
38 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.
Yesu firii hyiadan no mu no, ɔkɔɔ Simon efie kɔtoo sɛ huraeɛnini abɔ Simon ase baa. Nnipa a wɔwɔ hɔ no srɛɛ no sɛ ɔnsa no yadeɛ.
39 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.
Ɔkɔɔ deɛ ɔda hɔ kɔgyinaa ne nkyɛn, teaa yadeɛ no ma ɛgyaeɛ amonom hɔ ara ma ɔsɔre maa wɔn aduane diiɛ.
40 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.
Onwunu dwoeɛ no, wɔde ayarefoɔ pii baa sɛ, Yesu nsa wɔn yadeɛ. Ɔde ne nsa guu wɔn so saa wɔn yadeɛ.
41 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.
Ahohommɔne firii nnipa no pii mu firiiɛ a na wɔreteateam sɛ, “Wone Onyankopɔn Ba no.” Nanso, Yesu kaa wɔn anim, hyɛɛ wɔn sɛ wɔmmua wɔn ano, ɛfiri sɛ, na ahonhommɔne no nim sɛ ɔno ne Kristo no.
42 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.
Adeɛ kyeeɛ no, Yesu tee ne ho kɔɔ ɛserɛ so baabi a ɛhɔ yɛ dinn. Nkurɔfoɔ no kyini hwehwɛɛ no na wɔhunuu no no, wɔsrɛɛ no sɛ ɔntena wɔn nkyɛn wɔ Kapernaum hɔ.
43 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.”
Yesu ka kyerɛɛ wɔn sɛ, “Ɛsɛ sɛ meka Asɛmpa a ɛfa Onyankopɔn Ahennie ho no mekyerɛ afoforɔ nso, ɛfiri sɛ, ɛno enti na wɔsomaa me.”
44 So Jesus went on traveling around, teaching the good news in the synagogues of Judea.
Yesu kyinkyinii Yudeaman no mu kɔɔ hyiadan ahodoɔ mu kɔkyerɛkyerɛeɛ.
