< Luka 4 >

1 O Isus pherdo Svetone Duxosa irisajlo tari len o Jordan. O Duxo inđarda le ani pustinja,
As Jesus left the Jordan [River valley], the Holy Spirit was completely controlling him.
2 kaj iskušisada le o beng saranda đive. Gola đive o Isus khanči ni xalja thaj kana nakhle e saranda đive, bokhajlo.
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.
3 Tegani vaćarda lese o beng: “Te san e Devleso Čhavo, phen kale barese te avol mangro.”
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]!”
4 O Isus phenda lese: “Ano Sveto lil si pisimo: ‘O manuš ni ka avol džuvdo samo taro mangro [nego tare dži jekh Lafi e Devleso].’”
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].”
5 Pale gova ikalda le o beng ko učo than thaj tari jekh drom sikada lese sa e carstvura ki phuv.
Then the devil took him on top of [a high mountain] and showed him in an instant all the nations in the world.
6 O beng vaćarda e Isusese: “Tuće ka dav sa kava lengo zuralipe thaj i slava, golese kaj manđe dija pe thaj me ka dav la kase mangav.
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!
7 Ako pere pe koča angle mande, sa ka avol ćiro.”
So if you worship me, I will [let] you [rule] them all!”
8 O Isus vaćarda lese: “Ano Sveto lil si pisimo: ‘Per ke koča e Gospodese e Devlese ćirese thaj lese jekhese služi.’”
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!’”
9 Pale gova inđarda le o beng ano Jerusalim, čhuta le najučeste po Hram thaj vaćarda lese: “Te san e Devleso Čhavo, čhude tu katar tele.
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.
10 Golese kaj ano Sveto lil si pisimo: ‘Vov ka phenol pe anđelurenđe te aračhen tut,’
[You will not be hurt], because it is written {the [Psalmist] wrote} [in the Scriptures], ‘God will command his angels to protect you [(sg)].
11 thaj: ‘Von ka len tut ke vasta te ma čalave tut ko bar ćire pingresa.’”
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.’”
12 O Isus vaćarda lese: “Ano Sveto lil si pisimo: ‘Ma iskuši e Gospode, e Devle ćire.’”
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]’.”
13 Kana o beng završisada sa lese iskušenjura, đelo lestar dži aver nesavo vreme.
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.
14 O Isus irisajlo ano zuralipe e Duxoso ani Galileja thaj o lafi lestar đelo pe sa e phuva.
As the Spirit empowered him, Jesus returned to Galilee [district. People] throughout all that region heard about what he [was doing].
15 Sikada ane lenđe sinagoge thaj savore šukar lestar vaćarde.
He taught [people] in their (synagogues/meeting places). [As a result], he was praised by everyone {everyone praised him}.
16 Tegani avilo o Isus ano foro Nazaret kaj barilo thaj ko savato palo piro adeti, đelo ani sinagoga thaj uštilo te čitil.
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.
17 Dije le o Lil e prorokoso e Isaijaso, vov putarda o Lil thaj arakhlja than kaj sasa pisimo:
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]:
18 “O Duxo e Gospodeso si pe mande, golese kaj pomazisada man te anav o Lačho Lafi e čororenđe, [bičhalda man te sastarav len, saven isi dukhade ile], thaj te vaćarav e phanglenđe kaj ka aven oslobodime, thaj e korenđe kaj ka dičhen, thaj e mučime kaj ka aven slobodna,
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}.
19 te vaćarav taro lačho berš taro milost e Gospodeso.”
And he sent me to declare that now is the time when (the Lord/God) will [act] favorably [toward people].
20 Tegani phanglja o Lil, dija le e slugase thaj bešlo. Savore ani sinagoga dikhlje ane leste
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.
21 thaj o Isus lija te vaćarol lenđe: “Ađive pherdile kala lafura so akana šunden.”
He said to them, “Today as you have been hearing [MTY] [me speak], [I am beginning] to fulfill this Scripture passage.”
22 Savore lestar vaćarde šukar thaj sesa zadivime gole šukar lafurencar so iklilo andaro leso muj thaj pučlje pe: “Naj li kava e Josifeso čhavo?”
[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]”
23 O Isus vaćarda lenđe: “Čače tumen manđe ka vaćaren kaja poslovica: ‘Lekarona, sastar korkore tut!’ So šundam kaj ćerdan ano Kafarnaum, čher i kate ane ćiro than kaj bariljan.”
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!’”
24 Tegani vaćarda: “Čače vaćarav tumenđe, nijekh proroko naj manglo ane piro than kaj barilo.
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].
25 A čače vaćarav tumenđe: But romnja kase roma mule sesa ano Izrael ano vreme e Ilijaso kana o bršnd ni pelo trin berš thaj šov čhon thaj sasa baro bokhalipe pe sa i phuv.
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.
26 Al o Ilija ni sasa bičhaldo ni jekhaće lendar, sasa bičhaldo ki jekh džuvli kaso rom mulo ke abandžijengo foro Sarepta pašo Sidon.
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.
27 Thaj but gubava sesa ano Izrael ko vreme e prorokoso e Jelisijeso. Thaj khoni lendar ni thodilo, nego thodilo o Neman o Sirijanco.”
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.”
28 Savore ani sinagoga pherdile holi kana kava šunde.
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]).
29 Uštile thaj tradije le avral taro foro. Inđarde le ko brego najuče kaj sasa ćerdo lengo foro te čhuden le odupral natele.
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].
30 Al o Isus nakhlo maškar lende thaj đelo pe dromesa.
But he [simply] walked through their midst and went away.
31 Pale gova o Isus ulilo ano Kafarnaum ano Galilejsko foro thaj sikada ko savato.
[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]).
32 E manuša čudisajle lese sikajimasa, golese kaj ane lese lafura sasa vlast.
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).
33 Gothe ani sinagoga sasa manuš ane kaste sasa o bilačho duxo thaj dija vika zurale:
[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,
34 “So manđe amendar, Isuse taro Nazaret? Aviljan li te uništi amen? Džanav ko san tu: Sveco e Devleso!”
“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!”
35 O Isus pretisada le: “Phande ćo muj thaj iklji lestar!” Tegani o beng perada e manuše angle sa e manuša, iklilo lestar thaj khanči ni ćerda lese bilačhe.
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.
36 Ane savorende avili i dar thaj čudisajle thaj jekh averese vaćarde: “Save si kala lafura! Ano autoritet thaj ano zuralipe vaćarol e bilačhe duxurenđe te ikljon thaj von ikljen!”
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!”
37 Thaj đelo o lafi lestar ane sa e pašutne thana.
The people were telling everyone in [every village] in the surrounding region what Jesus [had done].
38 O Isus uštilo gothar andari sinagoga thaj avilo ano čher e Simoneso. E Simonese sasuja sasa la bari jag thaj rodije lestar te sastarol la.
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.
39 O Isus ačhilo paše late, pretisada e jagaće thaj i jag mukhlja la. Sigate uštili thaj služisada len.
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].
40 Kana pelo o kham, ande angle leste savoren saven sesa nasvale manuša tare dži jekh nasvalipe. Vov pe savorende čhuta pe vasta thaj sastarda len.
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.
41 Tare pherdo manuša iklile e benga thaj dije vika vaćarindoj: “Tu san o Čhavo e Devleso!” Al o Isus darada len te ma vaćaren khanikase golese kaj džanglje kaj si vov o Hrist.
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].
42 Kana đivesajlo, o Isus iklilo thaj đelo ani pustinja. E manuša rodije le thaj avile leste thaj manglje te ačhaven le te ma džal lendar.
[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.
43 Al o Isus vaćarda lenđe: “Trubul i ane avera forura te vaćarav o Lačho Lafi taro Carstvo e Devleso, golese kaj sem paše gova bičhaldo.”
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.”
44 Thaj ni ačhada te vaćarol ane sinagoge ani Judeja.
So he kept preaching in (the synagogues/Jewish worship places) [in various towns] in Judea [province].
