Lioka 4
1 Ie niliforeñe amy Arofo Masiñey t’Iesoà le nibalike boak’ am’ Iordaney, vaho niaoloa’ i Arofoy mb’am-babangoañ’ añe,
On returning from the Jordan, full of the Holy Spirit, Jesus was led by the power of the Spirit through the Wilderness for forty days, tempted by the Devil.
2 efapolo andro te nanjizia’ i mpañìnjey ie tsy nikama ndra inoñ’ inoñe amy andro rezay. Modo izay le nisaliko,
All that time he ate nothing; and, when it was over, he became hungry.
3 vaho hoe i mpañìnjey tama’e: Naho toe Anan’ Añahare irehe, ampinjareo mofo o vatoo.
So the Devil said to him: “If you are God’s Son, tell this stone to become a loaf of bread.”
4 Hoe ty natoi’ Iesoà aze: Pinatetse ty hoe: Tsy mofo avao ty mahaveloñe ondaty,
And Jesus answered him: “Scripture says — ‘It is not on bread alone that man is to live.’”
5 Le nendese’ i mpañìnjey niañambone vohitse mitiotiotse eñe vaho natoro’e aze amy zao ze kila fifeheañe an-tane atoy.
And the Devil led Jesus up, and showing him in a single moment all the kingdoms of the earth, said to him:
6 Le hoe i Ratiy tama’e: Hatoloko Azo o haozarañe iaby zao naho o enge’ iareoo, fa natolots’ ahy, vaho hatoloko amy ze satriko;
“I will give you all this power, and the splendour of them; for it has been given into my hands and I give it to whom I wish.
7 le kila ho Azo t’ie hiambane amako etoañe.
If you, therefore, will do homage before me, it shall all be yours.”
8 Hoe ty natoi’ Iesoà: Hoe ty pinatetse: Iehovà Andrianañahare’o ro hitalahoa’o, ie avao ty hitoroña’o.
And Jesus answered him: “Scripture says — ‘Thou shalt do homage to the Lord thy God, and worship him only.’”
9 Le nendese’e mb’e Ierosaleme mb’eo naho nampiningire’e an-dengom-pitalakesan’ abo’ i Anjomban’Añaharey vaho nanoa’e ty hoe: Naho toe Anan’ Añahare irehe, miponaha ambane ey,
The Devil next led him into Jerusalem, and, placing him on the parapet of the Temple, said: “If you are God’s Son throw yourself down from here,
10 ty amy pinatetse ty hoe: Ho lilie’e amo Anjeli’eo irehe, ty hañaro azo;
for Scripture says — ‘He will give his angels commands about thee, to guard thee safely,’
11 vaho, Ho tanatanà’ iereo, tsy ho dasirem-bato o fandia’oo.’
And ‘On their hands they will upbear thee, Lest ever thou shouldst strike thy foot against a stone.’”
12 Tinoi’ Iesoà ty hoe: Hoe ty tsara: Asoao tsy ho tsohe’o t’Iehovà Andrianañahare’o.
But Jesus answered him: “It is said — ‘Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God.’”
13 Ie nagado’ i mpañìnjey i fanjiziañe iaby zay, le nidisak’aze heike.
When he had tried every kind of temptation, the Devil left Jesus, till another opportunity.
14 Aa le nibalike mb’e Galilia mb’eo t’Iesoà ami’ty haozara’ i Arofoy; le niboele tok’aia tok’aia amy tane nañohokey ty enge’e.
Moved by the power of the Spirit, Jesus returned to Galilee. Reports about him spread through all that neighbourhood;
15 Nañoke amo fitontonañeo re le hene nañonjoñ’ aze.
and he began to teach in their Synagogues, and was honoured by everyone.
16 Nimb’e Nazareta mb’eo re, i rova nahabey azey, le ami’ty lili’e, nizilik’ am-pitontonañe ao ami’ty andro Sabotse, vaho niongake hamaky.
Coming to Nazareth, where he had been brought up, Jesus, as was his custom, went on the Sabbath into the Synagogue, and stood up to read the Scriptures.
17 Natolotse aze ty boke’ Isaia mpitoky; vinela’e i bokey, vaho nioni’e ao ty nisokirañe ty hoe:
The book given him was that of the Prophet Isaiah; and Jesus opened the book and found the place where it says —
18 Amako t’i Arofo’ Iehovà, Fa noriza’e hitsey i talili-soay amo rarakeo, Nafanto’e hikoike famotsorañe amo mpirohio, naho fampaha-isahañe amo feio, vaho fampidadàñe amo dinemokeo,
‘The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, For he has consecrated me to bring Good News to the poor, He has sent me to proclaim release to captives and restoration of sight to the blind, To set the oppressed at liberty,
19 hitsey ty taon-joba’ Iehovà.
to proclaim the accepted year of the Lord.’
20 Napele’ Iesoà amy zao i bokey le nahere’e amy mpamandroñey le niambesatse; vaho hene nitalatse aze ty fihaino o am-pitontonañeo.
Then, closing the book and returning it to the attendant, he sat down. The eyes of all in the Synagogue were fixed upon him,
21 Le hoe t’Iesoà tam’ iereo: Fa nihenek’ anindroany an-dravembia’ areo i Sokitse Masiñe zay.
and Jesus began: “This very day this passage has been fulfilled in your hearing.”
22 Aa le sindre nitalily soa aze vaho nidaba amo tsara soa naakam-palie’eo, fe hoe iareo: Tsy ana’ Iosefe v’itoio?
All who were present spoke well of him, and were astonished at the beautiful words that fell from his lips. “Is not he Joseph’s son?” they asked.
23 Aa le hoe re tam’iereo: Va’e hatao’ areo amako ze oha-drehake zao: O mpanaha, afaho ty vata’o, vaho anò an-tane’o etoan-ka o raha jinanji’ay te nanoe’o e Kapernaomy añeo.
“Doubtless,” said Jesus, “you will remind me of the saying — ‘Doctor, cure yourself;’ and you will say ‘Do here in your own country all that we have heard that has been done at Capernaum.’
24 Le tinovo’e ty hoe: Eka! to t’Itaroñako te tsy eo ty mpitoky to-saontsy an-tane’e ao;
I tell you,” he continued, “that no Prophet is acceptable in his own country.
25 To ty volako ama’areo te: Maro ty vantotse e Israele ao tañandro’ i Elia, ie nagabeñe telo taoñe tsy enem-bolañe i likerañey vaho nandrambañe i Taney ty kerè;
There were, doubtless, many widows in Israel in Elijah’s days, when the heavens were closed for three years and six months, and a severe famine prevailed throughout the country;
26 fe leo raik’ ama’e tsy nañirahañe i Elia naho tsy i rakemba vantotse nte Zarefata e Sidona añey.
and yet it was not to one of them that Elijah was sent, but to a widow at Zarephath in Sidonia.
27 Maro ka ty niazo’ ty angamàe e Israele ao tañandro’ i Elisa mpitoky, fe tsy ama’e ty nafahañe naho tsy i Namana nte-Sore.
And there were many lepers in Israel in the time of the Prophet Elisha, yet it was not one of them who was made clean, but Naaman the Syrian.”
28 Ie nahajanjiñe izay o am-pitontonañeo, le fonga nilifo-kabosehañe,
All the people in the Synagogue, as they listened to this, became enraged.
29 naho niongake nanafasiotse aze mb’ alafe’ i rovay añe, vaho nendese’ iereo mb’an-tevam-bohi’ i rovay mb’eo hampitsirikoàk’ aze an-kereretsak’ ao,
Starting up, they drove Jesus out of the town, and led him to the brow of the hill on which their town stood, intending to hurl him down.
30 f’ie nienga, niranga iareo mb’eo.
But he passed through the middle of the crowd and went on his way.
31 Nizotso mb’e Kapernaomy, rova e Galilia añe re naho nañanatse amo Sabotseo.
Then Jesus went down to Capernaum, a city in Galilee. On the Sabbath he taught the people.
32 Le nidaba iereo amy fañòha’ey amy te ninday lily o tsara’eo.
They were amazed at his teaching, because his words were spoken with authority.
33 Teo ty lahilahy am-pitontonañe ao nangara’ ty kokolampa, nitazataza
In the Synagogue there was a man with the spirit of a foul demon in him, who called out loudly:
34 ty hoe: Hete! Ino ty itraofan-tikañe, ry Iesoà nte Nazareta? Niavy hanjamañ’ anay v’ Iheo? Fantako irehe; Ihe i Masin’Añaharey.
“Stop! What do you want with us, Jesus of Nazareth? Have you come to destroy us? I know who you are — the Holy One of God!”
35 Trinevo’ Iesoà ami’ty hoe: Mamantsy, iakaro! Aa le nafetsa’ i kokolampay añivo eo re, vaho nifaok’ añe fe tsy nijoia’e.
But Jesus rebuked the demon. “Be silent! Come out from him,” he said. The demon flung the man down in the middle of the people, and then came out from him, without causing him further harm.
36 Fonga nilatsa, le hoe ty vesoveso’ iareo: Aa vaho akore i tsara zay t’ie aman-dily naho haozarañe ro mañendake kokolampa hifaoke.
And they were all lost in amazement, and kept saying to one another: “What words are these? For he gives his commands to the foul spirits with a marvellous authority, and they come out.”
37 Le niboele nanitsike i fariparitsey ty enge’e.
And rumours about Jesus traveled through every place in the neighbourhood.
38 Ie nienga i fitontonañey t’Iesoà, le nizilik’ añ’anjomba’ i Simona ao. Niremboremboe’ ty hamae-sandriñe ty rene’ i vali’ i Simonay le nihalalia’ iareo ty ama’e.
On leaving the Synagogue, Jesus went into Simon’s house. Now Simon’s mother-in-law was suffering from a severe attack of fever, and they asked Jesus to cure her.
39 Aa le nijohañe ambone’e eo re nitrevoke i hasilokey, vaho nisitak’amy rekambay zay; tsipaepae’e nitroatse re niatrake iareo.
Bending over her, he rebuked the fever; the fever left her, and she immediately got up and began to wait upon them.
40 Ie nimotak’àndro, le nendeseñe ze nanañe marare nisilofe’ndra inoñ’ inoñe mb’ ama’e mb’eo, naho songa nanampeza’e fitàñe vaho nampijangañe’e.
At sunset, all who had friends suffering from various diseases took them to Jesus; and he placed his hands upon every one of them and cured them.
41 Niakatse ami’ty maro ka o kokolampao nikoiake ty hoe: Ihe i Norizañe, Anan’Añaharey! Le nendaha’e vaho nafanto’e tsy hivolañe amy te napota’ iareo t’ie i Norizañey.
And even demons came out from many people, screaming ‘You are the Son of God.’ Jesus rebuked them, and would not allow them to speak, because they knew that he was the Christ.
42 Ie manjirik’ andro le nienga mb’ an-tane bangìñe mb’eo fe nitsoeha’ i lahialeñey, ie nomb’ ama’e mb’eo vaho ho nanjitse aze tsy hienga;
At daybreak, Jesus went out and walked to a lonely spot. But crowds of people began to look for him; and they came to where he was and tried to detain him and prevent his leaving them.
43 fe hoe re am’iereo: Tsy mahay tsy mitaroñe i Talili-soam-Pifehean’Añaharey an-drova ila’e ka iraho fa izay ty nañirahañ’ ahy.
Jesus, however, said to them: “I must take the Good News of the Kingdom of God to the other town also, for that was why I was sent.”
44 Le nitaroñe amo fitontonañe e Galiliao re.
And he continued to make his proclamation in the Synagogues of Judea.
