Luka 4
1 Azɔ Yesu si me Gbɔgbɔ Kɔkɔe la yɔ fũu la dzo le Yɔdan tɔsisi la to, eye Gbɔgbɔ la kplɔe yi ɖe Yudea ƒe gbedadaƒo afi aɖe.
Yeshua, full of the Holy Spirit, returned from the Jordan and was led by the Spirit into the wilderness
2 Enɔ afi ma ŋkeke blaene, eye Abosam va tee kpɔ le ŋkeke siawo katã me. Meɖu naneke le ŋkeke siawo katã me o, ale dɔ wui vevie.
for forty days, being tempted by the devil. He ate nothing in those days. Afterward, when they were completed, he was hungry.
3 Abosam gblɔ nɛ be, “Nenye be Mawu vie nenye tututu la, ekema ɖe gbe na kpe siawo be woatrɔ zu abolo.”
The devil said to him, “If you are the Son of God, command this stone to become bread.”
4 Yesu ɖo eŋu nɛ be, “Woŋlɔ ɖe Ŋɔŋlɔ Kɔkɔea me be, Menye nuɖuɖu ɖeɖe ko ŋuti ame nanɔ agbe ɖo o.”
Yeshua answered him, saying, “It is written, ‘Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word of God.’”
5 Abosam kplɔe yi teƒe kɔkɔ aɖee, eye wòɖe xexea me fiaɖuƒewo katã fiae le ɣeyiɣi kpui aɖe ko me,
The devil, leading him up on a high mountain, showed him all the kingdoms of the world in a moment of time.
6 eye wògblɔ na Yesu be, “Wòe matsɔ ŋusẽ sia katã kple ŋutikɔkɔe ana; elabena tɔnyewoe, eye mate ŋu atsɔ wo na ame sia ame si melɔ̃.
The devil said to him, “I will give you all this authority and their glory, for it has been delivered to me, and I give it to whomever I want.
7 Eya ta ne èdze klo de ta agu nam ko la, matsɔ wo na wò.”
If you therefore will worship before me, it will all be yours.”
8 Yesu ɖo eŋu nɛ be, “Abe ale si woŋlɔ ɖe Ŋɔŋlɔ Kɔkɔea mee ene la, Mawu ɖeka hɔ̃ɔ ko wòle be míasubɔ.”
Yeshua answered him, “Get behind me, Satan! For it is written, ‘You shall worship the Lord your God, and you shall serve him only.’”
9 Azɔ Abosam gakplɔe yi Yerusalem, eye wòtsɔe ɖo gbedoxɔ la ƒe kɔkɔƒe kekeake. Egblɔ nɛ be, “Nenye Mawu vie nènye vavã la, ti kpo tso afi sia.
He led him to Jerusalem and set him on the pinnacle of the temple, and said to him, “If you are the Son of God, cast yourself down from here,
10 Elabena woŋlɔ ɖi be, “‘Ade se na eƒe dɔlawo le ŋutiwò be woakpɔ tawò nyuie
for it is written, ‘He will put his angels in charge of you, to guard you;’
11 woatsɔ wò ɖe woƒe asiwo me, ale be màtsɔ wò afɔ axlã ɖe kpe aɖeke o.’”
and, ‘On their hands they will bear you up, lest perhaps you dash your foot against a stone.’”
12 Yesu ɖo eŋu nɛ be, “Ŋɔŋlɔ Kɔkɔe la gblɔ be, ‘Mègate Mawu wò Aƒetɔ la kpɔ o.’”
Yeshua answering, said to him, “It has been said, ‘You shall not tempt the Lord your God.’”
13 Esi Abosam wu tetekpɔwo katã nu la, egblẽ Yesu ɖi dzo le egbɔ hena ɣeyiɣi bubu.
When the devil had completed every temptation, he departed from him until another time.
14 Gbɔgbɔ Kɔkɔe la ƒe ŋusẽ yɔ Yesu me fũu azɔ ale wòtrɔ yi Galilea. Eteƒe medidi o la, amewo nyae le nuto sia me kpe ɖo.
Yeshua returned in the power of the Spirit into Galilee, and news about him spread through all the surrounding area.
15 Le mawunya deto siwo wògblɔna le woƒe ƒuƒoƒewo ta la, ame sia ame kafunɛ ŋutɔ.
He taught in their synagogues, being glorified by all.
16 Eva Nazaret, afi si wonyii le, eye wòyi woƒe ƒuƒoƒe le Dzudzɔgbe ŋkekea dzi abe ale si wòwɔnɛ ene. Esi wòtso be yeaxlẽ mawunya la,
He came to Nazareth, where he had been brought up. He entered, as was his custom, into the synagogue on the Sabbath day, and stood up to read.
17 wotsɔ Nyagblɔɖila Yesaya ƒe agbalẽ nɛ be wòaxlẽ. Eʋu teƒe si woŋlɔ ɖo be,
The scroll of the prophet Isaiah was handed to him. He opened the scroll, and found the place where it was written,
18 “Aƒetɔ la ƒe Gbɔgbɔ le dzinye, eya ta wosi ami nam ɖo, edɔm ɖa be magblɔ nyanyui la na ame dahewo, edɔm ɖa be maɖe gbeƒã be woaɖe ga aboyomenɔlawo, eye ŋkunɔwo ƒe ŋkuwo aʋu. Ame siwo wote ɖe anyi la, ado le wo teɖeanyilawo si me,
“The Spirit of the Lord is on me, because he has anointed me to proclaim good news to the poor. He has sent me to heal the broken hearted, to proclaim release to the captives, recovering of sight to the blind, to deliver those who are crushed,
19 eye maɖe gbeƒã Aƒetɔ la ƒe ƒe nyui la.”
and to proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord.”
20 Esi wòxlẽ nya siawo vɔ la, etu agbalẽa, tsɔe na dɔla la, eye eya ŋutɔ yi ɖanɔ anyi. Ke ame siwo katã nɔ ƒuƒoƒea la fɔ ŋku ɖe edzi gãa.
He closed the scroll, gave it back to the shammash, and sat down. The eyes of all in the synagogue were fastened on him.
21 Yesu gagblɔ na ameawo be, “Mawunya sia va eme le egbeŋkeke sia dzi.”
He began to tell them, “Today, this Scripture has been fulfilled in your hearing.”
22 Ame siwo katã nɔ xɔa me la kafui, eye woƒe mo wɔ yaa le amenuvevenya siwo wògblɔ la ta. Wobia wo nɔewo be, “Nya kae nye esia? Alo menye Yosef vie oa?”
All testified about him and wondered at the gracious words which proceeded out of his mouth; and they said, “Isn’t this Joseph’s son?”
23 Yesu ɖo eŋu na wo be, “Ɖewohĩ miaɖo ŋku lododo sia adzi be, ‘Gbedala, da gbe le wò ŋutɔ ɖokuiwò ŋu’ esi gɔmee nye be, ‘Nu ka ta mèwɔ nukunuwo le wò ŋutɔ wò dedu me abe ale si nèwɔe le Kapernaum ene o?’
He said to them, “Doubtless you will tell me this proverb, ‘Physician, heal yourself! Whatever we have heard done at Capernaum, do also here in your hometown.’”
24 “Vavã mele egblɔm na mi be, bubu menɔa nyagblɔɖila aɖeke ŋu le eya ŋutɔ ƒe dedu me o.
He said, “Most certainly I tell you, no prophet is acceptable in his hometown.
25 Mele egblɔm na mi kple kakaɖedzi be ahosi geɖewo nɔ Israel le Eliya ŋɔli, esi wotu dziƒo nu ƒe etɔ̃ kple afã, eye dɔwuame sesẽ aɖe va anyigba blibo la dzi.
But truly I tell you, there were many widows in Israel in the days of Elijah, when the sky was shut up three years and six months, when a great famine came over all the land.
26 Gake womeɖo Eliya ɖe wo dometɔ aɖeke gbɔ o, ke boŋ woɖoe ɖe ahosi aɖe si tso Zarefat le Sidon nuto me la gbɔ.
Elijah was sent to none of them, except to Zarephath, in the land of Sidon, to a woman who was a widow.
27 Mibu Nyagblɔɖila Elisa, ame si da gbe le Naaman si nye Siriatɔ la ŋu kpɔ. Togbɔ be kpodɔléla geɖewo hã nɔ Israel siwo hiã gbedada vevie hã, Elisa meda gbe le woawo ŋu o, negbe Naaman Siriatɔ la ko.”
There were many lepers in Israel in the time of Elisha the prophet, yet not one of them was cleansed, except Naaman, the Syrian.”
28 Yesu ƒe nya siawo ve dɔ me na ameawo ŋutɔ le ƒuƒoƒea esi wose wo.
They were all filled with wrath in the synagogue as they heard these things.
29 Woƒe dziwo ho ɖe eŋu ale wotso hetutu asi ʋu me nɛ do goe le xɔa me. Wokplɔe yi togbɛ si dzi wotu dua ɖo la ƒe kɔkɔƒe be yewoatutui tso teƒe sia wòayi aɖadze agame.
They rose up, threw him out of the city, and led him to the brow of the hill that their city was built on, that they might throw him off the cliff.
30 Gake ezɔ to amehawo dome hedzo le wo gbɔ kɔ̃ɔ.
But he, passing through the middle of them, went his way.
31 Yesu trɔ yi Kapernaum si nye du aɖe si le Galilea nuto me la me, eye le afi sia egblɔ mawunya na amewo le Dzudzɔgbe ŋkeke ɖe sia ɖe dzi le woƒe ƒuƒoƒewo.
He came down to Capernaum, a city of Galilee. He was teaching them on the Sabbath day,
32 Eƒe nyagbɔgblɔwo wɔ nuku na ameawo katã le afi sia hã, elabena eƒo nu ŋusẽtɔe.
and they were astonished at his teaching, for his word was with authority.
33 Gbe ɖeka esi Yesu nɔ mawunya gblɔm le ƒuƒoƒea la, ŋutsu aɖe si me gbɔgbɔ vɔ̃ aɖe le la de asi ɣlidodo me ɖe eta be,
In the synagogue there was a man who had a spirit of an unclean demon; and he cried out with a loud voice,
34 “Yesu Nazaretitɔ, nu ka ta nèle fu ɖem na mí ɖo? Ɖe nèva be yeatsrɔ̃ mía? Menya ame si nènye, wòe nye Mawu ƒe Vi Kɔkɔetɔ la.”
saying, “Ah! what have we to do with you, Yeshua of Nazareth? Have you come to destroy us? I know who you are: the Holy One of God!”
35 Yesu blu ɖe eta gblɔ be, “Zi ɖoɖoe!” Azɔ egblɔ na gbɔgbɔ vɔ̃ la be, “Do go le ame sia me!” Gbɔgbɔ vɔ̃ la tsɔ ŋutsua xlã ɖe anyi ŋɔdzitɔe, ameha la ƒo zi ɖe eŋu henɔ ekpɔm. Ke gbɔgbɔ vɔ̃ la do go le amea me, eye megawɔ nu vevi aɖekee o.
Yeshua rebuked him, saying, “Be silent and come out of him!” When the demon had thrown him down in the middle of them, he came out of him, having done him no harm.
36 Esia wɔ nuku na ameawo ŋutɔ, ale wobia wo nɔewo be, “Ŋusẽ ka ƒomevie le ame sia ƒe nyawo ŋu, ale be gbɔgbɔ vɔ̃ ŋutɔwo gɔ̃ hã ɖoa toe?”
Amazement came on all and they spoke together, one with another, saying, “What is this word? For with authority and power he commands the unclean spirits, and they come out!”
37 Nukunu si Yesu wɔ la kaka ɖe nutoa katã me le ɣeyiɣi kpui aɖe ko me.
News about him went out into every place of the surrounding region.
38 Esi Yesu do go le ƒuƒoƒea gbe ma gbe la, eyi Simɔn ƒe aƒe me, eye wòke ɖe Simɔn lɔ̃xo ŋu wònɔ ŋudza sesẽ aɖe lém. Ame sia ame kloe va ɖe kuku na Yesu gblɔ be, “Míeɖe kuku na wò da gbe le eŋu.”
He rose up from the synagogue and entered into Simon’s house. Simon’s mother-in-law was afflicted with a great fever, and they begged him to help her.
39 Yesu yi ɖatsi tsitre ɖe dɔnɔa ƒe aba gbɔ, eye wòɖe gbe na dɔlélea be wòaɖe asi le eŋu. Dzoxɔxɔ sesẽ si nɔ nyɔnu la ƒe lãme la nu bɔbɔ enumake, eye eƒe lãme sẽ. Ale wòtso yi ɖaɖa nu va ɖo woƒe akɔme.
He stood over her and rebuked the fever, and it left her. Immediately she rose up and served them.
40 Le ɣetrɔ miaa la, kɔƒea me tɔwo katã kplɔ ame siwo katã nɔ dɔ vovovowo lém le woƒe aƒewo me la vɛ na Yesu, eye wòda asi ɖe wo katã dzi heyɔ dɔ wo.
When the sun was setting, all those who had any sick with various diseases brought them to him; and he laid his hands on every one of them, and healed them.
41 Gbɔgbɔ vɔ̃ tɔ aɖewo hã nɔ ameawo dome, ke Yesu ɖe gbe na gbɔgbɔ vɔ̃ siawo be woado go le ameawo me, eye wodo go le eƒe nya nu henɔ ɣli dom be, “Wòe nye Mawu Vi la.” Esi Yesu kpɔ be gbɔgbɔ vɔ̃wo nya be yee nye Kristo la, eɖe gbe na wo be woazi ɖoɖoe.
Demons also came out of many, crying out and saying, “You are the Messiah, the Son of God!” Rebuking them, he didn’t allow them to speak, because they knew that he was the Messiah.
42 Le ŋkeke evea gbe ƒe ŋdi kanyaa la, efɔ, eye wòɖe eɖokui ɖe aga. Ameha la dii vevie le teƒe geɖewo, eye esi wova ke ɖe eŋu mlɔeba la, woɖe kuku nɛ be megadzo o, ke boŋ wòanɔ yewo gbɔ le Kapernaum.
When it was day, he departed and went into an uninhabited place and the multitudes looked for him, and came to him, and held on to him, so that he wouldn’t go away from them.
43 Ke Yesu ɖo eŋu na wo be, “Ele be magblɔ mawufiaɖuƒe la ƒe nyanyui la na du bubuwo hã, elabena esia tae wodɔm ɖo.”
But he said to them, “I must proclaim the good news of God’s Kingdom to the other cities also. For this reason I have been sent.”
44 Ale wòdzo henɔ tsatsam le Yudea nutowo katã me kpe ɖo, nɔ mawunya gblɔm na amewo le woƒe ƒuƒoƒewo.
He was proclaiming in the synagogues of Galilee.
