Luke 4
1 As Jesus left the Jordan [River valley], the Holy Spirit was completely controlling him.
Jesus sia Tha Thiangtho taw kidim in Jordan pan ciakik a, Thaa in duisung ah paipui hi,
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.
Ni sawamli sung doaimangpa in ze-et hi. Tua hunsung theampo bangma ne ngawl hi: taciang tua ni te a bo zawkciang in a ngilkial hi.
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]!”
Doaimangpa in ama tuung ah, Pathian Tapa na hile, hi suangtum te anluum suak tu in thupia in, ci hi.
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].”
Taciang Jesus in hibang in zo hi, Mihing te sia anluum bek hi ngawl in, Pathian thu taw nungta zaw tu hi, ci ki at hi, ci hi.
5 Then the devil took him on top of [a high mountain] and showed him in an instant all the nations in the world.
Doaimangpa in mualsang dawn ah paipui a, leitung kumpingam theampo sia tawmvei sung in lak hi.
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!
Taciang doaimangpa in, hi thuneina theampo le minthanna teng kong pia tu hi: banghangziam cile hite sia keima hong ki pia zo a; ka piaknop po pia khi hi.
7 So if you worship me, I will [let] you [rule] them all!”
Tua ahikom keima nong bia le, a vekpi in nangma neisa hi tu hi, ci hi.
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!’”
Jesus in, Satan, ka nung ah om in: banghangziam cile, Topa na Pathian bia in a, Ama na bek seam in, ci in ki at hi, ci in zo kik hi.
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.
Taciang doaimangpa in Jerusalem ah paipui a, biakinn khuhum ah koi hi, taciang, Pathian Tapa na hile, hi mun pan in leangsuk in:
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)].
Banghangziam cile, nangma a keam tu in Pathian in ama vantungmi te sawl tu hi:
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.’”
Na peang suang taw a khet ngawl natu in amate in a khut taw hong dom tu hi, ci in ki at hi, ci hi.
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]’.”
Taciang Jesus in, Topa na Pathian ze-et heak in, ci zong om hi, ci in zo kik hi.
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.
Doaimangpa in ze-et na theampo a man ciang in, a kung pan tawlkhat sung kiheam hi.
14 As the Spirit empowered him, Jesus returned to Galilee [district. People] throughout all that region heard about what he [was doing].
Jesus sia Tha Thiangtho vangletna taw Galilee ah heakkik a: tua ngamsung theampo ah a minthang hi.
15 He taught [people] in their (synagogues/meeting places). [As a result], he was praised by everyone {everyone praised him}.
Ama in synagogue sung ah thuhil a, mi theampo in pok tek uh hi.
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.
Jesus a khan na mun Nazareth khua ah pai a, ama ngeina bang in, sabbath ni synagogue sung ah pai hi, taciang laithiangtho sim tu in ding hi.
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]:
Kamsang Isaiah laibu ama pia uh hi. Taciang tua laibu a hon ciang in, hi lai ki at na mun mu hi.
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}.
Topa Tha sia ka tung ah om hi, banghangziam cile mizawng te tung ah lungdamna thu pualak tu in sathau hong buak zo hi; thinsung tamtham te damsak tu in ahizong, saltang mite tung ah suatakna thu pualak tu in ahizong, mittaw te khuamu kik natu in ahizong, vawtsiatna thuak te suatakna pia tu le,
19 And he sent me to declare that now is the time when (the Lord/God) will [act] favorably [toward people].
Topa i santhei kum pualak tu in hong sawl hi.
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.
Jesus in a sim laibu khupkik a, naseam pa tung ah a ap zawkciang to hi. Sinakok sung a omte theampo in sal tinten uh hi.
21 He said to them, “Today as you have been hearing [MTY] [me speak], [I am beginning] to fulfill this Scripture passage.”
Taciang Ama in, Hi laithiangtho sia tu ni in na bilsung uh ah tangtung hi, ci hi.
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]”
A kamsung pan a pusuak kammal te amate in lamdangsa mama uh a, a vekpi in tettipang uh hi. Taciang, ama sia Joseph tapi hi ngawl ziam? ci uh hi.
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!’”
Jesus in amate tung ah, Hi paunak sia kei tung ah, syavuan pa, nangma le nangma ki damsak in: Capernaum ah na vawt ka zak uh theampo hi na khua ah zong vawt in, hong ci tu nu hi, ci hi.
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].
Taciang Jesus in, A tatak kong ci hi, kamsang sia ama khua ah ki sang ngei ngawl hi.
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.
Ahihang a mantak kong ci hi, Elijah hun lai, kumthum le tha luk sung ngua zu ngawl hi, ngamsung theampo ah kialpi a tun lai in, Israel ngamsung ah meingong tam mama om hi;
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.
Ahihang tua meingong te kung ah Elijah paisak ngawl in, Sidon ngam Zarephath khua meingong nu kung ah paisak hi.
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.”
Taciang in kamsang Elisha hun ciang in, Israel ngamsung ah miphak tampi om napi, Syria minam Naaman simngawl midang kuama a ki thiangsak om ngawl hi, ci hi.
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]).
Syngogue sung a omte theampo in hi thu te a zak uh ciang in, thin-ukna taw kidim uh a,
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].
A vekpi ding in, Jesus sia khuasung pan hawlkhia uh a, khualu mualtung liangdawn pan lusuknuailam khiasuk tu in paipui uh hi.
30 But he [simply] walked through their midst and went away.
Ahihang Jesus in amate laizang pan kantan in paisuak hi.
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]).
Taciang Galilee ngam Capernaum khuapi ah pai a, sabbath ni in thuhil hi.
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).
A hilna te amate in lamdangsa mama uh hi: banghangziam cile Ama thu sia vanglian hi.
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,
Taciang synagogue sung ah doai ngilo a vei pa khat om a, aw nging mama taw,
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!”
Nang Nazareth khuami Jesus, koma nguak hong omsak po tan; nang taw bang kisai hi ziam? A kua ci hong he khi hi; Pathian i mithiangtho pa na hihi, ci in au hi.
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.
Taciang Jesus in tei a, Thim in, ama sung pan pusuak in, ci hi. Doai ngilo in mipi te mai ah ama puksak a, ama vawtsia ngawl in a sungpan pusuak hi.
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!”
Amate theampo in lamdangsa mama uh a, amate sung ah, hisia in bangthu ziam! banghangziam cile thuneina le vangletna taw doai ngilo te thupia a, amate pusuak siat hi, ci uh hi.
37 The people were telling everyone in [every village] in the surrounding region what Jesus [had done].
Jesus thu sia tua ngam kiim mun theampo ah ki zel hi.
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.
Jesus sia synagogue sung pan pusuak a, Simon inn ah pai hi. Simon zi i nu sia cisa nasia mama in na a; Jesus kung ah amate in hesuak ngetsak uh hi.
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].
Jesus a hui ah ding in, a cisa natna tei hi; taciang a natna in nusia a: tasia pociang tho in, amate leangna do hi.
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.
Nitum ciang in, natna namcin taw cina te Jesus kung ah hong paipui uh hi: khatsim tung ah a khut nga a, damsak siat hi.
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].
Mitampi sung pan doai te pusuak a, Nangma sia Pathian Tapa Christ na hihi, ci in au uh hi. Taciang Jesus in amate tei in, pausak ngawl hi: banghangziam cile doai te in Ama sia Christ hi, ci he uh hi.
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.
Khua hong vak ciang in, Jesus sia khuasung pan in senneal ngam sang ah pai a, mite in zong uh hi, a kung ah hongpai uh a, amate paisan ngawl tu in thum uh hi.
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.”
Ahihang, amate tung ah, Pathian kumpingam sia khuadang tatuam ah zong ka pualak kul hamtang hi: banghangziam cile tua thu a pualak tu in hong ki sawl ka hihi, ci hi.
44 So he kept preaching in (the synagogues/Jewish worship places) [in various towns] in Judea [province].
Taciang Galilee ngamsung synagogue te sung ah thuhil hi.
