Luke 4
1 As Jesus left the Jordan [River valley], the Holy Spirit was completely controlling him.
La Yeecu dim ki Yuwa tangbe kwama, yilam firen caji Urdun la yuwa tangbe kwama ko tu co yakanciko yerak.
2 For 40 days the Spirit led him around in the desolate area. During that time Jesus was being tempted by the devil {the devil was tempting him}, and Jesus did not eat anything. When that time ended, he was [very] hungry.
Fiye kume kwini na'ar bwekelkele cuwaco tiyeu. co ca diker ki kumeni co, la ni connuwa wura.
3 Then the devil said to Jesus, “Because you [claim that you] ([have a relationship with] God as a son [has with his father] [MET]/are the man who is both God and man), [prove it by] telling these stones to become bread [so that you can eat them]!”
Bwekelkel yii, na mo bibwe kwamri yii tero wo a yilam cari,
4 Jesus replied, “[No, I will not change stones into bread, because it is written] {[Moses] wrote} [in the Scriptures] that [eating] food sustains people physically, but it does not [sustain them spiritually. They also need food for their spirits].”
Yeecu yii co, mulangum mulange “ke bo ka cari ni ama dumetiye”.
5 Then the devil took him on top of [a high mountain] and showed him in an instant all the nations in the world.
La bwekelkele kung ken Yeecu dii nung cinen liyaro kaleweu gwam.
6 Then he said to [Jesus], “I will give you the authority [to rule] all these areas and will make you famous. [I can do this] because [God] has permitted me [to control these areas], and I can allow anyone I desire to rule them!
Bwekelkele yii co, “man neken nen Bikwankero gwam kange duktanka ceko, wori cin neyen dike buri gwam, la man weken nii wo ma cuitiyeu.
7 So if you worship me, I will [let] you [rule] them all!”
Na ceu na mwan cung cunge mo wab yeri gwam ka mwe”.
8 But Jesus replied, “[No, I] will not [worship you, because] it is written {[the Psalmist] wrote} [in the Scriptures], ‘It is the Lord, your God, whom you must worship, and you must serve only him!’”
La Yeecu karci nen yiico, mulangum mulange mwa wab “Teluwe kwama mwe, co ki kwace mwa- Bwangtentiye”.
9 Then the devil took [Jesus] to Jerusalem. He set him on the highest part of the Temple and said to him, “Because you [claim that you] ([have a relationship with God as a son has with his father] [MET]/are the man who is both God and man), [prove it by] jumping down from here.
So bwekelkele yakan ki Yeecu Urucalima, kung ken co diiku'u wabe la yii co na mo bi bwe kwama di yarubitine
10 [You will not be hurt], because it is written {the [Psalmist] wrote} [in the Scriptures], ‘God will command his angels to protect you [(sg)].
wori mulangum mulange, can ne be bei tomange wucakke cenin dor mwer bou na cer nen.
11 They will lift you up with their hands [when you are falling], so that [you will not get hurt]. You will not [even] strike your foot on a stone.’”
La ci an kungum nen dii na mo fwere biwure, tero nin.
12 But Jesus replied, “[No, I] will not [do that, because] it is written {[Moses] wrote} [in the Scriptures]: ‘Do not try to test the Lord your God [to see if he will prevent something bad from happening to you when you do something foolish]’.”
La Yeecu yii co, “tokum toke, mani mwa cuwa Teluwe mwe kwama ti”.
13 Then, after the devil had finished trying to tempt [Jesus] in many ways, he left him. He wanted to try to tempt him later at an appropriate time.
La kambo bwekelkele dim cuwa Yeecu keri, concu dubomco biduwar bwiri.
14 As the Spirit empowered him, Jesus returned to Galilee [district. People] throughout all that region heard about what he [was doing].
La Yeecu yilaken Galili ki kwan yuwa tangber kwamari. La fulen dor ce reu curongi cinanloro kentangum wiye.
15 He taught [people] in their (synagogues/meeting places). [As a result], he was praised by everyone {everyone praised him}.
La can yoten merengkako bi kur waber, La gwam caklang co ti.
16 Then [Jesus] went to Nazareth, [the town] where he grew up. (On the Sabbath/On the Jewish rest day) he went (to the synagogue/to the Jewish meeting place), as he usually did. He stood up [to indicate that he wanted] to read [Scriptures] to them.
La con bou Nazaret fiye ci yom co wiyeu la kambo ci lerum maka, con doken mor bi kur waber kakuk folokak, la kwen con titiye na kiye kiye ka ki dir.
17 A scroll containing [the words] that the prophet Isaiah [had written] was given to him {[Someone] gave to him a scroll containing [the words] that the prophet Isaiah [had written]}. He opened the scroll and found the place from which he [wanted to] read. [He read these words]:
Cinne co bifumer Nii Dukume kaya, la con fiye wo mulangi,
18 The Spirit (of the Lord/of God) is upon me. He has appointed [MTY] me to declare God’s good news to the poor. He has sent me [here] to proclaim that God will deliver those whom [Satan] has captured, and he will [enable me to] enable those who are blind to see. He will enable me to free people who have been oppressed {whom [others] have oppressed}.
Yuna tangber kwamaka wi dor miri wou cin cor meu timuwang dor na ne fulen kerero ken fiye nob bwen wiyeu. con tuom ye nan kwa dir fiye nubo ci tabangtabangeu, kange nee ka tokak fukmatinimbonin na kwin nubo ci neten dotange tiyeu.
19 And he sent me to declare that now is the time when (the Lord/God) will [act] favorably [toward people].
Nan kwa dir cor cini kwamar
20 Then he rolled up the scroll and gave it back to the attendant, and sat down [to teach the people]. Everyone in the synagogue was looking intently [MTY] at him.
La con cumom bifumer ne riwo timwiyeu. La con yii ken, nuwe nubo gwam bi kur wabero rime ki tokanco.
21 He said to them, “Today as you have been hearing [MTY] [me speak], [I am beginning] to fulfill this Scripture passage.”
La con yoten kan co yii ci keroti duwen bifumer wo dim fo ki nuwaka kumek.
22 [At first] everyone there spoke well about him, and they were amazed at the charming words that he spoke. [But then some of] them said, “(He is [only] Joseph’s son!/Isn’t he [only] Joseph’s son?) [RHQ] [So] ([it is useless for us(exc) to listen to what he says!/why should we(exc) listen to what he says]?) [RHQ]”
Nubo gwamwi tok kero ken dor cer la citi Nyumangi kange luma kereko ceru ti Nyiceu. La cin me”wo kebo bi bwe Yucufu ka?”
23 He said to them, “Surely [some of] you will quote to me the proverb that says, ‘Doctor, heal yourself!’ [What you will mean is], ‘People told us that you did miracles in Capernaum [town, but we(exc) do not know if those reports are true. So] do miracles here in your own hometown, too!’”
La con yii ci, “Bicom kam yii dangke wo kom ki Nii Twaka Twam dor mwero. Dikewo ma duwa ma ma kafarnam meu, ma dong=dong nyo cinan lormwer.
24 Then he said, “It is certainly true that [people] do not accept [the message of] a prophet when he speaks in his hometown, [just like you(pl) are not accepting my message now].
La con toki Bicom ma yii komti, nii Dukume kange win wo fiyom bo yoka we cinan lor cer.
25 But think about this: There were many widows in Israel during the time when [the prophet] Elijah [lived. During that time], because of there being no rain [MTY] for three years and six months, there was a great famine throughout the country.
La mor bilenker ma yii komti, natub kwalebo kila kabo mer Icraila, tiberoco Iliya wiyeu, la biloro mungum na coro ta'areceu kange cuiyakko mukkun, la wura dor bou bitine corin.
26 But [God] did not send Elijah to [help] any of those [Jewish] widows. [God sent him] to Zarepath [town] near Sidon [city], to [help] a [non-Jewish] widow.
La ci tun bo Iliya win ciye nin. La tunco Jerefat cidone, nawiye kwale kange yimwiyeu.
27 There were also many [Jewish] lepers in Israel during the time when the prophet Elisha [lived]. But [Elisha] did not heal any of them. He healed only Naaman, a [non-Jewish] man from Syria.”
Walebo kala kabo mor Icraila kwama Ilica nii dukumeu, win wo ci twabo, kan Na'aman wo ciria.
28 When all the people in the synagogue heard him say that, they were very angry, [because they realized that he was inferring that he similarly would help non-Jewish people instead of helping Jews] (OR, [that they also were not worthy of receiving God’s help]).
Nubo gwam mor bikur wabereu funero tamci kambo cinuwa kero weri.
29 So they all got up and shoved him out of the town. They took him to the top of the hill outside their town in order to throw him off the cliff [and kill him].
Cin kweri cin cokken co buiko cinan lore ci ya ken kico kong cueli wo ci mum cinan lor ciro dor cereu na ci tungu co bitine.
30 But he [simply] walked through their midst and went away.
La ca ci cum tiber ciyer co yaken kange fiye.
31 [One day] Jesus went [with his disciples] down to Capernaum, a town in Galilee [district]. On the next (Sabbath/Jewish day of rest) (OR, Each (Sabbath/Jewish day of rest)), he taught the people ([in the synagogue/in the Jewish meeting place]).
La con yiraken kafarram cinan loro kange mor Galili, la con yoten kange co merang cinenti ki kakuk fobkak.
32 They were continually amazed at what he was teaching, because [he spoke] ([with authority/as people speak who have] the right to command others what to do).
Cin ma nyumanka ki merankaceko, wori co ki tok kero ki Bikwanked.
33 [That day], (OR, On one of those Jewish days of rest, ) there was a man in the synagogue who was controlled by an evil spirit. That man shouted very loudly,
La mor bi ker waber nii kange wi wo ki yuwa kelkelike, la con cii ki dira dur.
34 “Hey! Jesus, from Nazareth! [We(exc) evil spirits] have nothing in common with you, so ([do not interfere with us now!/why should you interfere with us now]?) [RHQ] (Do not destroy us [now!]/Have you come to destroy us [now]?) [RHQ] I know who you are. You are the Holy One [who has come] from God!”
E' ye nya mam ti ki mo Yeecu Banajara, mo bou na mo twalangum ne? min nyumom mo co nii wucak kwama ce.
35 Jesus rebuked [the evil spirit], saying, “Be quiet! And come out [of the man]!” The demon threw the man down on the ground in the midst of the people. But without harming the man, the demon left him.
Yeecu ca kelkeliyomin tor, yii, tok re ker, ceru mor nii wo. kambo kelkeliyo jwa nii wo mer ken bitine tiber ciyer la ce rum mor nii wo, nuwa cinen bo tura ki kange nure.
36 The people were all amazed. They said to each other, “(What he says to the demons [has great power!/] [kind of] teaching is this?) [RHQ] He speaks to them like he knows that they must obey him, and as a result they leave people!”
Nubo gwam ti nyumangi, citi tokkami buiti ciye lan ker ye na wo? Co yii kelkeliyo kero ki nyial kange bi kwankered lan cerum.
37 The people were telling everyone in [every village] in the surrounding region what Jesus [had done].
La nyou, cin ter tokka fulen cero cinan loro kantangum wiye gwam.
38 Jesus [and his disciples] left (the synagogue/the Jewish meeting place) and entered Simon’s house. Simon’s mother-in-law was sick and had a high fever. So [others in Simon’s family] (OR, [the disciples]) asked Jesus to [heal] her.
La Yeecu dubom bikur waber ro doken lo cimonne, la fer cimon kalati ki kwirom bwi, la ci ken keri dor cer.
39 So he bent over her and commanded the fever to leave her. At once she became well! She got up and served them [some food].
La kwen con titye dor cer, co ca kwirum bwi min tor, kwirum buiyo dubomco, dandang con kwemim con ta maka yiroko.
40 When the sun was setting [that day, and the restriction about not traveling] (on [the Sabbath/on the Jewish rest day]) [was ended], many people [HYP] whose [friends or relatives] were sick or who had various diseases brought them to Jesus. He put his hands on them and healed [all of] them.
Kambo kakuko yar ken tiye ni, rubo bou cinenti kirubo nuwa bo luman tuirako ki dimen ki dimen, con yo ti kang ceko dor ciyer gwam con twam ci.
41 He also was [expelling demons] from many people. As the demons left those people, they shouted to Jesus, “You are (the Son of God/the one who is God and man)!” But he rebuked those demons and would not allow them to tell [people about him], because they knew that he was the Messiah, and [for various reasons he did not want everyone to know that yet].
Kelkelibo cerangu mor nubo kila kila ken. Cii wiyeti ci ti toki, “mo bi bwe kwama,” Yeecu ca kelkelibo ca dob ci bo tok ker, wori cin nyumem con co Kritti.
42 [Early] the next morning [Jesus] left that house and went to an uninhabited place [to pray]. Many people searched for him, and when they found him they kept urging him not to leave them.
Kambo fini celumen con cokum dor ce ki kwace fiye nob mani yeu, nubo ducce docoti co lo ci bou fiye co wiye, cin mani na ci kicim na dob cire.
43 But he said to them, “I must tell [people] in other towns also the good message about how God wants to rule [MET] their lives, because that is what I was sent {[God] sent me} to do.”
La con yii ci man nee fulen kerer liyar kwamaro tangrim cinan Lorenbo. Won co dike bwi ci tumum ye fe.
44 So he kept preaching in (the synagogues/Jewish worship places) [in various towns] in Judea [province].
La con ter neka fuleneko mor bi kur wabero Yuhudiya gwam.
