Luke 4
1 As Jesus left the Jordan [River valley], the Holy Spirit was completely controlling him.
UYesu amemile upepo uzelu, ahwelile afume hu Yordani, alongoziwe no pepo omuda ohwe nsiku arobaini mwipoli.
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.
Apete amalabha no shetani. Nensiku ezyo sagalyanga ahantu mpaka nazyamalishe alolile enzala.
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]!”
Oshetani wabholankoli, “Mwana wa NGOLOBHE, libhole ihwe eli wahe libumnga.”
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].”
UYesu agalula, “isimbwilwe: 'eyaje umntu sagaikhala hwibumunda tu.'”
5 Then the devil took him on top of [a high mountain] and showed him in an instant all the nations in the world.
Wizavwa pamwanya wabhonesya emilki zyonti ezyensi hudaka emo.
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!
Oshetani wabhola, “Embahupele ahweenzi ene yonti, nefahari yakwe. Afanaje ehweli makhono gane, nane ehupele yayonti neshe shensongwele.
7 So if you worship me, I will [let] you [rule] them all!”
Basi ahwe nkoni namile hwitagalila lyane gonti ganzabhe gahuliwe.”
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!’”
UYesu wagalula wabhola isimbwilwe, “omwinamile, “OGOSI ONGOLOBHE waho ompute omwahale mwene.”
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.
Walongozya mpaka Yerusalemu wabheha pamwanya yemnala eshe shibhanza,” wabhola nkashile olimwana wa NGOLOBHE hwiponye pasi.
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)].
afwanaje esimbwilwe”, abhahwu lajizizye amalaika bhakwe bhalinde,
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 fwanaje, makhono gabho bhanzahumweje, osije ogabomula inama, lwaho mwiwe.”
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]’.”
OYesu wagalula, “Wabhashole, “eyagwilwe oganje hulenje GOSI ONGOLOBHE waho.”
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.
Basi nawamala kila esha hulenje oshetani walehe wabhala humuda.
14 As the Spirit empowered him, Jesus returned to Galilee [district. People] throughout all that region heard about what he [was doing].
OYesu awelile humaha age opepo ozelu, wabhala hu Galilaya enongwa zyakwe zyazyambanile ensi zyonti ezya msheje msheje.
15 He taught [people] in their (synagogues/meeting places). [As a result], he was praised by everyone {everyone praised him}.
Wape asambelezyaga katika mmabhanza gabho ashimihwagwa nabhantu bhonti.
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.
Wabhala hu Nazareti, epo pasongwelwe na isiku elye lutozyo hwinjila mwabhonza neshe sehali edeesturi yakwe wemelela ili abhazye.
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]:
Bhapela chuo esha akuwa Isaya, hwigula echuo, wanza papa simbwilwe,
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}.
Opepo owa GOSI au pamwanya yane afwatanaje amponyizye amafuta abhalombelele apena enongwa enyinza, antumile abhatangazizye bhabhapi nyilwe abhaule hwabho. Avipofu bhalolaje nantele abhaleshe bhashe huru bhabhabhonelwe.
19 And he sent me to declare that now is the time when (the Lord/God) will [act] favorably [toward people].
Na tangazya omwaha ogwa GOSI gwagweteshehwe.
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.
Washigalilo echuo, wahwezezya amtumishi wakhala, na bhantu bhonti bhabhahali mwisinagogi bhalangulila.
21 He said to them, “Today as you have been hearing [MTY] [me speak], [I am beginning] to fulfill this Scripture passage.”
Wanda abhabhole sanyono ensimbo,”Ezi zitimiliye mmakutu genyu.”
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]”
Bhalola bhonti bhaswiga amazu age neema gagafumile mwilomu lyakwe, bhayanga ono semwana wa Yusufu?
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!’”
Abhabhola, “bila shaka mbhambole eshilale eshi,” Ganga, hwiponye omwoyo gwaho, amambo gonti gatovwezye aje gabhombeshe hu Kapernaumu, gabhombeshe nepa na ntele katika ensi yaho wewe.”
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].
Wayanga, “Amina embabhola aje nomo okuwa yabhahweteshewe mnsi ya kwa yoyo,”
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.
Lelo lyoli embabhola bhahali afwele bhalibhinji katika ensi eya Israeli amaha aga Eliya, wakati amabhengo gafugwilwe amaha gatatu na miezi sita, enzala engosi yahinjiye ensi yonti.
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.
Wala oEliya sagasontezyewe hwebho, ila hwafwele omo owa Sarepta katika ensi eya Sidoni.
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.”
Antele, bhahali abheukoma bhinji mwi Israeli omwaha wa kuwa Elisha, wala nomo yaponi ila oNaamani omntu wa Siria.
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]).
Bhamemile ilyoyo bhonti bhabhahali mwibhanza nabhovwa ego.
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].
Bhasogola bhafumya hwonze eye boma bhantwala mpaka mshenje eyigamba, afanaje ekhaya yao enzegwilwe pamwanya yakwe, ili bhapate hutaje pansi.
30 But he [simply] walked through their midst and went away.
Lelo omwahale ashilile pahati yao wabhola.
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]).
Hwiha mpaka hu Kaeernaumu, iboma elya Galilaya. Wabha asambelezwa isiku elya tunzye.
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).
Bhanswiga nantele hunsambelezyo zyakwe, afwanaje izu lyakwe lili namaha.
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,
Na mhati mwibhanza, mwoli omntu yali ne roho embibhi walila hwizu igosi,
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!”
“Wayanga leha, endineye awe, u Yese wa Nazareti? uyenzele atitezye? Emenye aje hwewenu! wogolosu wa NGOLOBHE!”
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.
QYesu wadamila, “Wayanga, biba ilomu mwepe ndipo lila!”Ipepo lya gwisya pahati, lyafuma asimbhombe nkahamo.
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!”
Bhakhatwa naswije bhont, bhayangana, bhayanga lizu hwele eli, afwatanaje, “abhatanga amapepo abhibhi huwezo na maha bhape bhafuma.”
37 The people were telling everyone in [every village] in the surrounding region what Jesus [had done].
Enongwa, zyakwe zyazyambona hwonti munsi ela.
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.
Wafuma mwibhanza winjila munyumba ya Simoni. Wape, okhoi wakwe oSimoni onyina washe wakwe, akhetwe nensugusa ekhali bhalabha kwajili yakwe.
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].
Hwemelela, papepe nao, waidamila ela ensugasa, yaleha mara eyo wapona wabhabhombela.
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.
Na isanya nalya swanga, wonti bhali nabhinu abhe mpongo shahashaha bhabhaletile hwamwahale. Wabhabheha amakhon gakwe pamwanya ya shila mntu wabhaponia.
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].
Ipepo bhape bhafumela mwabhantu abhinji bhakhoma ibwago nayanje, “Awe uli mwana wa NGOLOBHE!” Wabhadamila sagaleshile aje bhayangaje, kwasababu bhamanye aje yo Krisi.
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.
Na hwasha, asogoye abhalile humo hwasehulina bhantu. Amabongano bhabha bhahumwanza bhafihahwamurahale bhazaga huzubhile agajesogola hwabhahale.
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.”
Wabhabhola, “Ehwanziwa alombelele enongwa enyinza ezya mwene uwa NGOLOBHE katika amaboma agamwabho nantele, afwanaje ensotelezewe.
44 So he kept preaching in (the synagogues/Jewish worship places) [in various towns] in Judea [province].
“Basi ali alombelela katika amabhanza aga hu Uyahudi.
