< Luk 4 >

1 Jisọs, onye jupụtara na Mmụọ Nsọ, sitere na Jọdan lọta. Mmụọ nsọ duuru ya baa nʼọzara.
And Jesus, full of the Holy Spirit, returned from the Jordan, and was led by the Spirit in the wilderness
2 Ebe ahụ ka ekwensu nwara ya ọnwụnwa iri ụbọchị anọ. Nʼụbọchị ndị ahụ niile o righị nri ọbụla. Nʼikpeazụ agụụ gụrụ ya.
during forty days, being tempted of the devil. And he did eat nothing in those days: and when they were completed, he hungered.
3 Ekwensu sịrị ya, “Ọ bụrụ na ị bụ Ọkpara Chineke, gwa nkume a ka ọ ghọọ achịcha.”
And the devil said unto him, If thou art the Son of God, command this stone that it become bread.
4 Jisọs zara ya sị, “E dere ya, ‘Ọ bụghị naanị site na achịcha ka mmadụ ga-eji dị ndụ.’”
And Jesus answered unto him, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone.
5 Ekwensu duuru ya rigoo nʼebe dị elu, gosi ya alaeze niile nke ụwa, nʼotu ntabi anya.
And he led him up, and shewed him all the kingdoms of the world in a moment of time.
6 Ọ gwara ya sị, “M ga-enye gị ikike niile ndị a na ebube ha. Ọ bụ m ka e nyere ha, e nwere m ike inye ha onye ọbụla m chọrọ inye ha.
And the devil said unto him, To thee will I give all this authority, and the glory of them: for it hath been delivered unto me; and to whomsoever I will I give it.
7 Ya mere, ọ bụrụ na ị kpọọ isiala nye m, ha ga-abụ nke gị.”
If thou therefore wilt worship before me, it shall all be thine.
8 Jisọs zara ya sị, “E deela ya: ‘Ị ga-akpọ isiala nye Onyenwe anyị Chineke gị, naanị ya ka ị ga-efekwa.’”
And Jesus answered and said unto him, It is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve.
9 Ekwensu duuru ya gaa Jerusalem, mee ka o guzo nʼebe dịkarịsịrị elu nke ụlọnsọ ukwu ahụ. Ọ sịrị ya, “Ọ bụrụ na ị bụ Ọkpara Chineke, si nʼebe a tụda onwe gị nʼala.
And he led him to Jerusalem, and set him on the pinnacle of the temple, and said unto him, If thou art the Son of God, cast thyself down from hence:
10 Nʼihi na e dere ya, “‘Ọ ga-enye ndị mmụọ ozi ya iwu banyere gị, ichekwa gị nke ọma;
for it is written, He shall give his angels charge concerning thee, to guard thee:
11 ha ga-ebuli gị elu nʼaka ha, ka ị ghara ịkpọbi ụkwụ gị na nkume.’”
and, On their hands they shall bear thee up, Lest haply thou dash thy foot against a stone.
12 Jisọs zara ya sị, “E kwuola ya, Anwala Onyenwe anyị Chineke gị ọnwụnwa.”
And Jesus answering said unto him, It is said, Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God.
13 Mgbe ekwensu nwasịrị ya ọnwụnwa ndị a niile, ọ hapụrụ ya ruo mgbe ohere ọzọ dapụtara.
And when the devil had completed every temptation, he departed from him for a season.
14 Jisọs lọghachiri na Galili nʼike nke Mmụọ Nsọ. Akụkọ banyere ya gbasara ruo akụkụ obodo niile.
And Jesus returned in the power of the Spirit into Galilee: and a fame went out concerning him through all the region round about.
15 O ziri ihe nʼọtụtụ ụlọ ekpere ha, mmadụ niile na-etokwa ya.
And he taught in their synagogues, being glorified of all.
16 Mgbe o rutere Nazaret ebe ọ nọrọ too, nʼụbọchị izuike, ọ gara nʼụlọ ekpere dị ka ọ dị mbụ eme. O guzoro ọtọ ịgụ akwụkwọ nsọ.
And he came to Nazareth, where he had been brought up: and he entered, as his custom was, into the synagogue on the sabbath day, and stood up to read.
17 E nyere ya akwụkwọ nke onye amụma Aịzaya dere. O meghere ya chọta ebe e dere sị,
And there was delivered unto him the book of the prophet Isaiah. And he opened the book, and found the place where it was written,
18 “Mmụọ nke Onyenwe anyị dị nʼahụ m, nʼihi na o teela m mmanụ ka m kwusaa oziọma nye ndị ogbenye. O zitela m ikwupụta inwere onwe nye ndị mkpọrọ, ya na ịhụ ụzọ nye ndị kpuru ìsì, ime ka ndị a na-emegbu emegbu nwere onwe ha.
The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, Because he anointed me to preach good tidings to the poor: He hath sent me to proclaim release to the captives, And recovering of sight to the blind, To set at liberty them that are bruised,
19 Ikwupụta afọ Onyenwe anyị ga-eme amara.”
To proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord.
20 O mechiri akwụkwọ ahụ nyeghachi ya onye ahụ na-eje ozi, nọdụ ala. Ndị mmadụ niile nọ nʼụlọ nzukọ ahụ legidere ya nnọọ anya.
And he closed the book, and gave it back to the attendant, and sat down: and the eyes of all in the synagogue were fastened on him.
21 Ma o bidoro ịgwa ha sị, “Taa ka ihe ndị a e dere nʼakwụkwọ nsọ a mezuru na ntị unu.”
And he began to say unto them, Today hath this scripture been fulfilled in your ears.
22 Mmadụ niile kwuru okwu ọma banyere ya nʼihi okwu amara niile si ya nʼọnụ pụta nke mere na ha jụrịtara onwe ha sị, “Onye a, ọ bụghị nwa nwoke Josef?”
And all bare him witness, and wondered at the words of grace which proceeded out of his mouth: and they said, Is not this Joseph’s son?
23 Ọ sịrị ha, “Nʼezie, amaara m na unu ga-atụrụ m ilu a: ‘Dibịa, gwọọ onwe gị!’ Sikwa m, ‘Ihe ndị ahụ niile anyị nụrụ ị na-eme na Kapanọm mee ha nʼebe a bụ obodo gị.’”
And he said unto them, Doubtless ye will say unto me this parable, Physician, heal thyself: whatsoever we have heard done at Capernaum, do also here in thine own country.
24 Ọ gara nʼihu sị, “Ma ị gwa unu eziokwu, o nweghị onye amụma ọbụla a na-anabata nke ọma nʼobodo a mụrụ ya.
And he said, Verily I say unto you, No prophet is acceptable in his own country.
25 Nʼezie, chetakwanụ na e nwere ọtụtụ ụmụ nwanyị di ha nwụrụ anwụ nʼoge Ịlaịja onye amụma. Nʼoge oke ụnwụ dara nʼala ahụ dum, mgbe e mechiri eluigwe na mmiri ezoghị nʼala Izrel afọ atọ na ọnwa isii.
But of a truth I say unto you, There were many widows in Israel in the days of Elijah, when the heaven was shut up three years and six months, when there came a great famine over all the land;
26 Ma e zigaghị Ịlaịja ka o jekwuru onye ọbụla nʼime ha karịakwa nwanyị di ya nwụrụ anwụ nʼobodo Zarefat nʼakụkụ Saịdọn.
and unto none of them was Elijah sent, but only to Zarephath, in the land of Sidon, unto a woman that was a widow.
27 Nʼoge Ịlaisha onye amụma, e nwere ọtụtụ ndị ekpenta nʼala Izrel, ma o nweghị onye e mere ka ọ dị ọcha nʼetiti ha karịakwa Neeman onye Siria.”
And there were many lepers in Israel in the time of Elisha the prophet; and none of them was cleansed, but only Naaman the Syrian.
28 Mgbe ndị nọ nʼụlọ ekpere ahụ nụrụ nke a, iwe were ha nke ukwuu.
And they were all filled with wrath in the synagogue, as they heard these things;
29 Ha biliri, kwapụ ya site nʼobodo ahụ, dọkpụrụ ya gaa nʼelu ugwu nke e wukwasịrị obodo ahụ ka ha nwee ike tụpụ ya site nʼugwu ahụ.
and they rose up, and cast him forth out of the city, and led him unto the brow of the hill whereon their city was built, that they might throw him down headlong.
30 Ma o sitere nʼetiti igwe mmadụ ahụ pụọ, gawara onwe ya.
But he passing through the midst of them went his way.
31 O sitere nʼebe ahụ gaa Kapanọm, obodo dịkwa na Galili. Nʼụbọchị izuike, o bidoro izi ha ihe.
And he came down to Capernaum, a city of Galilee. And he was teaching them on the sabbath day:
32 Ozizi ya juru ha anya, nʼihi na okwu ya nwere ikike.
and they were astonished at his teaching; for his word was with authority.
33 Otu nwoke nọ nʼime ụlọ ekpere ahụ, onye mmụọ na-adịghị ọcha bi nʼime ya. O tiri mkpu nʼoke olu,
And in the synagogue there was a man, which had a spirit of an unclean devil; and he cried out with a loud voice,
34 “Hapụ anyị! Gịnị ka ị na-achọ nʼebe anyị nọ, gị, Jisọs onye Nazaret? Ị bịara ka ị laa anyị nʼiyi? Ama m onye ị bụ, Onye Nsọ nke Chineke!”
Ah! what have we to do with thee, thou Jesus of Nazareth? art thou come to destroy us? I know thee who thou art, the Holy One of God.
35 Jisọs baara ya mba sị, “Nọrọ jii! Si nʼime ya pụta.” Mgbe ahụ mmụọ ọjọọ ahụ tụdara ya nʼala nʼihu ha niile, o sikwa nʼime ya pụọ ma o merụghị ya ahụ.
And Jesus rebuked him, saying, Hold thy peace, and come out of him. And when the devil had thrown him down in the midst, he came out of him, having done him no hurt.
36 Ihe ndị a juru ha niile anya, ha jụrịtara ibe ha sị, “Gịnị bụ ozizi nke a? O ji ịchị isi na ike na-enye mmụọ na-adịghị ọcha ndị a iwu, ha na-apụtakwa!”
And amazement came upon all, and they spake together, one with another, saying, What is this word? for with authority and power he commandeth the unclean spirits, and they come out.
37 Akụkọ banyere ya gbasara jeruo obodo niile dị ebe ahụ gburugburu.
And there went forth a rumour concerning him into every place of the region round about.
38 Mgbe ọ hapụrụ ụlọ ekpere ahụ gaa nʼụlọ Saimọn. Nne nwunye Saimọn nwere ahụ ọkụ, ha rịọrọ ya ka o nyere ya aka.
And he rose up from the synagogue, and entered into the house of Simon. And Simon’s wife’s mother was holden with a great fever; and they besought him for her.
39 O guzoro nʼihu ya, ma baara ahụ ọkụ ahụ mba, ọ hapụrụ ya nʼotu ntabi anya ahụ. O bilikwara lee ha ọbịa.
And he stood over her, and rebuked the fever; and it left her: and immediately she rose up and ministered unto them.
40 Mgbe anyanwụ na-ada, ọtụtụ ndị nwere ndị na-arịa ọrịa dị iche iche kpọọrọ ha bịakwute Jisọs. O bikwasịrị ha niile aka nʼotu nʼotu, gwọọ ha.
And when the sun was setting, all they that had any sick with divers diseases brought them unto him; and he laid his hands on every one of them, and healed them.
41 Mmụọ ọjọọ dị iche iche si nʼime ọtụtụ mmadụ pụta na-eti mkpu na-asị, “Ị bụ Ọkpara Chineke.” Ma ọ baara ha mba, o kweghị ka ha kwuo okwu, nʼihi na ha matara na ọ bụ Kraịst.
And devils also came out from many, crying out, and saying, Thou art the Son of God. And rebuking them, he suffered them not to speak, because they knew that he was the Christ.
42 Mgbe chi bọrọ, ọ pụrụ gaa ebe naanị ya nọ. Ndị mmadụ nọ na-achọgharị ya; mgbe ha bịaruru ebe ọ nọ, ha gbalịsịrị ike ime ka ọ ghara ịhapụ ha.
And when it was day, he came out and went into a desert place: and the multitudes sought after him, and came unto him, and would have stayed him, that he should not go from them.
43 Ma ọ sịrị ha, “Aghaghị m ikwusa oziọma alaeze Chineke nʼobodo ndị ọzọ, nʼihi na ọ bụ nʼihi ya ka e zitere m.”
But he said unto them, I must preach the good tidings of the kingdom of God to the other cities also: for therefore was I sent.
44 Ọ gara nʼihu na-ekwusa oziọma nʼụlọ ekpere niile dị na Judịa.
And he was preaching in the synagogues of Galilee.
