< Luke 4 >

1 THEN Jesus full of the Holy Ghost returned from Jordan, and was led by the spirit into the wilderness,
Afei, Yesu a Honhom Kronkron ahyɛ no ma no firii Asubɔnten Yordan ho maa Honhom no de no kɔɔ Yudea ɛserɛ so.
2 being tempted forty days by the devil; and did eat nothing during those days: and when they were ended, afterwards he was hungry.
Ɛhɔ na ɔbonsam kɔsɔɔ no hwɛɛ adaduanan. Saa nna no mu no, wanni hwee. Na ɛkɔm dee no.
3 And the devil said to him, If thou art the Son of God, command this stone that it become a loaf.
Ɔbonsam ka kyerɛɛ Yesu sɛ, “Sɛ wone Onyankopɔn Ba no a, ka na saa aboɔ yi nnane aduane.”
4 And Jesus answered him, saying, It is written, “Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word of God.”
Yesu buaa no sɛ, “Wɔatwerɛ sɛ: ‘Ɛnyɛ aduane nko ara na ɛho hia onipa wɔ nʼasetena mu.’”
5 And the devil taking him up into an exceeding high mountain, displayed before him all the kingdoms of the world in a moment of time:
Ɔbonsam de Yesu kɔɔ bepɔ bi so kyerɛɛ no ewiase ahennie nyinaa ɛberɛ tiawa bi mu.
6 and the devil said unto him, I will give thee all this authority, and the glory of these; for to me it is delivered, and to whomsoever I will, I give it.
Na ɔka kyerɛɛ Yesu sɛ,
7 If therefore thou wilt worship before me, all shall be thine.
“Sɛ wobɛkoto, asom me a, mede ahennie ahodoɔ yi ne emu tumi ne animuonyam nyinaa a wɔde ahyɛ me nsa yi bɛma wo.”
8 And Jesus answering him, said, Get thee behind me, Satan, for it is written, “Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and to him alone shalt thou pay divine honour.”
Yesu buaa no sɛ, “Wɔatwerɛ sɛ: ‘Som Awurade, wo Onyankopɔn, na ɔno nko ara na som no.’”
9 And he brought him to Jerusalem, and set him on a wing of the temple, and said to him, If thou art the Son of God, cast thy self down from hence:
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, “He shall give his angels a charge over thee, to guard thee safely;
Ɛfiri sɛ wɔatwerɛ sɛ, “‘Onyankopɔn bɛsoma nʼabɔfoɔ abɛbɔ wo ho ban;
11 and that in their hands they shall bear thee up, lest at any time thou dash thy foot against a stone.”
na wɔabɛsɔ wo na woammɛhwe abotan no so.’”
12 And Jesus answering said unto him, It is said, “Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God.”
Yesu buaa no sɛ, “Wɔatwerɛ sɛ: ‘Nsɔ Awurade, wo Onyankopɔn, nhwɛ.’”
13 And when the devil had closed all the temptation, he departed from him for a season.
Ɔbonsam wiee sɔhwɛ no nyinaa no, ɔgyaa no hɔ kɔeɛ ansa.
14 And Jesus returned in the power of the Spirit into Galilee: and a report went out into all the region round about concerning him.
Yesu sane baa Galilea a na Honhom Kronkron ahyɛ no ma. Ankyɛre koraa ne din trɛɛ ɔman no mu nyinaa.
15 And he taught in their synagogues, being universally admired.
Ɔkyerɛkyerɛɛ wɔ wɔn hyiadan mu maa obiara kamfoo no.
16 And he came to Nazareth, where he was brought up; and he went, according to his usual custom, into the synagogue on the sabbath-day, and rose up to read.
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 And there was given to him the book of the prophet Isaiah: and unrolling the volume, he found the passage where it is written,
Wɔde Odiyifoɔ Yesaia nwoma hyɛɛ ne nsa na ɔbuee baabi a wɔatwerɛ sɛ,
18 “The spirit of the Lord is upon me, for the work whereunto he hath anointed me; he hath sent me to preach glad tidings to the poor; to heal the contrite in heart; to proclaim liberty to the captives; and restore sight to the blind; to send forth the bruised free from bonds;
“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 to publish the acceptable year of the Lord.”
Honhom no asoma me sɛ memmɛka sɛ, Awurade adom no aba.”
20 And rolling up the volume, he gave it to the attendant officer, and sat down. And the eyes of all who were in the synagogue were attentively fixed on 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 And he began to say to them, To day this scripture is fulfilled in your ears.
Afei, ɔka kyerɛɛ wɔn sɛ, “Ɛnnɛ na Atwerɛsɛm no aba mu.”
22 And all concurred in their testimony to him, and marvelled at the gracious words which proceeded from his mouth. And they said, Is not this the son of Joseph?
Na kasa pa ne adom nsɛm a ɔkaeɛ no yɛɛ wɔn a wɔteeɛ nyinaa nwanwa ma wɔbisaa sɛ, “Ɛnyɛ Yosef ba no ni?”
23 And he said unto them, Ye will probably say to me this parable, Physician, heal thyself! the works which we have heard to have been performed by thee at Capernaum, do the like here in thy own country.
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 he said, Verily, I say unto you, that no prophet is acceptable in his own country.
“Nanso, mereka ama moate aseɛ sɛ, Odiyifoɔ biara nni animuonyam wɔ ne kurom.
25 Now I tell you of a certainty, that there were many widows in the days of Elias, in Israel, when the heaven was shut up three years and six months, so that a grievous famine was upon all the land.
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 And unto none of them was Elias sent, but unto Sarepta, a city of Sidon, to a widow woman.
Nanso, Onyankopɔn ansoma Odiyifoɔ Elia ankɔ obiara nkyɛn sɛ ɔbaa kunafoɔ a na ɔwɔ Sarepta a ɛwɔ Sidon no nkyɛn.
27 And many lepers were in Israel in the days of the prophet Elisha, and no one of them was cleansed, but 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 And they were all filled with rage in the synagogue, when they heard these observations:
Nnipa a wɔwɔ hyiadan no mu tee ne nsɛm a ɔkaeɛ no, wɔn bo fuu papaapa.
29 and rising up, dragged him out of the city, and led him to the brow of the hill, on which their city was built, in order to cast him down headlong:
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 passing through the midst of them, went away.
Nanso, ɔfaa wɔn mu kɔɔ ne baabi.
31 And he came down to Capernaum, a city of Galilee, and was teaching them on the sabbath.
Yesu kɔɔ Kapernaum a ɛwɔ Galilea. Ɔkyerɛkyerɛɛ nnipa no homeda biara.
32 And they were struck with astonishment at his teaching; for his discourse was with authority.
Ɛha nso ne nkyerɛkyerɛ no yɛɛ nkurɔfoɔ no nwanwa ɛfiri sɛ, ɔkasaa wɔ tumi so.
33 And there was in the synagogue a man, who had a spirit of an unclean devil, and he roared out with a great cry,
Na ɔbarima bi wɔ hyiadan no mu hɔ a honhommɔne ahyɛ no ma. Ɔhunuu Yesu no, ɔteaam sɛ,
34 saying, Let us alone; what have we to do with thee, Jesus the Nazarean? art thou come to destroy us? I know thee who thou art; the Holy One of God.
“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 And Jesus rebuked him, saying, Stop thy mouth, and come out of him. And the devil throwing him down into the midst, came out of him, doing him no injury.
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 And amazement seized on all present, and they spake one to another, saying, What a word is this? for with authority and power he commandeth the unclean spirits, and they come out.
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 And the fame of him went forth into all the adjacent region.
Deɛ ɔyɛeɛ yi ho asɛm trɛɛ ɔman no mu nyinaa.
38 Then rising up out of the synagogue, he came into the house of Simon: and Simon’s mother-in-law was seized with a violent fever, and they besought him on her behalf.
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 And standing over her, he charged the fever to depart; and it left her: and immediately she arose, and waited upon them.
Ɔkɔɔ deɛ ɔda hɔ kɔgyinaa ne nkyɛn, teaa yadeɛ no ma ɛgyaeɛ amonom hɔ ara ma ɔsɔre maa wɔn aduane diiɛ.
40 So when the sun was set, all who had any indisposed with various diseases, brought them to him; and laying his hands severally on each of them, he cured them.
Onwunu dwoeɛ no, wɔde ayarefoɔ pii baa sɛ, Yesu nsa wɔn yadeɛ. Ɔde ne nsa guu wɔn so saa wɔn yadeɛ.
41 And devils also went out of many, crying out, and saying, Thou art the Messiah the Son of God. And rebuking them, he suffered them not to speak: for they knew that he was the Messiah.
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 And as the day was coming on, he went forth and departed into a desert place: and the multitude sought him out, and came to him, and would have detained him that he should not leave them.
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 said unto them, I must preach the glad tidings of the kingdom of heaven in other cities also: for on this service am I sent.
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 And he continued preaching in the synagogues of Galilee.
Yesu kyinkyinii Yudeaman no mu kɔɔ hyiadan ahodoɔ mu kɔkyerɛkyerɛeɛ.
