Luka 4
1 Afei Yesu a Honhom Kronkron ahyɛ no ma no fii Asubɔnten Yordan ho maa Honhom no de no kɔɔ Yudea sare so.
Then Jesus, full of the Holy Spirit, returned from the Jordan and was led by the Spirit into the wilderness,
2 Ɛhɔ na ɔbonsam kɔsɔɔ no hwɛɛ adaduanan. Saa nna no mu no, wanni hwee. Na ɔkɔm dee no.
where for forty days He was tempted by the devil. He ate nothing during those days, and when they had ended, He was hungry.
3 Ɔbonsam ka kyerɛɛ Yesu se, “Sɛ wone Onyankopɔn Ba no a, ka na saa abo yi nnan aduan.”
The devil said to Him, “If You are the Son of God, tell this stone to become bread.”
4 Yesu buaa no se, “Wɔakyerɛw se, ‘Ɛnyɛ aduan nko ara na ɛho hia onipa wɔ nʼasetena mu.’”
But Jesus answered, “It is written: ‘Man shall not live on bread alone.’”
5 Ɔbonsam de Yesu kɔɔ bepɔw bi so kyerɛɛ no wiase ahenni nyinaa bere tiaa bi mu.
Then the devil led Him up to a high place and showed Him in an instant all the kingdoms of the world.
6 Na ɔka kyerɛɛ Yesu se,
“I will give You authority over all these kingdoms and all their glory,” he said. “For it has been relinquished to me, and I can give it to anyone I wish.
7 “Sɛ wobɛkotow, asom me a, mede ahenni ahorow yi ne mu tumi ne anuonyam nyinaa a wɔde ahyɛ me nsa yi bɛma wo.”
So if You worship me, it will all be Yours.”
8 Yesu buaa no se, “Wɔakyerɛw se, ‘Som Awurade, wo Nyankopɔn, na ɔno nko ara na som no.’”
But Jesus answered, “It is written: ‘Worship the Lord your God and serve Him only.’”
9 Afei, ɔbonsam de Yesu kɔɔ Yerusalem de no kogyinaa asɔredan a ɛwɔ hɔ no atifi pɛɛ, na ɔka kyerɛɛ no se, “Sɛ wone Onyankopɔn Ba no ampa ara a, gyaa wo ho fi nea wugyina hɔ to fam!
Then the devil led Him to Jerusalem and set Him on the pinnacle of the temple. “If You are the Son of God,” he said, “throw Yourself down from here.
10 Efisɛ wɔakyerɛw se, “‘Onyankopɔn bɛsoma nʼabɔfo abɛbɔ wo ho ban;
For it is written: ‘He will command His angels concerning You to guard You carefully;
11 na wɔabɛwɛn wʼakwan nyinaa mu; wɔde wɔn nsa bɛma wo so, na wo nan ampem ɔbo.’”
and they will lift You up in their hands, so that You will not strike Your foot against a stone.’”
12 Yesu buaa no se, “Wɔakyerɛw se, ‘Nsɔ Awurade, wo Nyankopɔn nhwɛ.’”
But Jesus answered, “It also says, ‘Do not put the Lord your God to the test.’”
13 Ɔbonsam wiee sɔhwɛ no nyinaa no, ogyaw no hɔ kɔe.
When the devil had finished every temptation, he left Him until an opportune time.
14 Yesu san baa Galilea a na Honhom Kronkron ahyɛ no ma. Ankyɛ koraa na ne din trɛw faa ɔman no mu nyinaa.
Jesus returned to Galilee in the power of the Spirit, and the news about Him spread throughout the surrounding region.
15 Ɔkyerɛkyerɛɛ wɔ wɔn hyiadan mu maa obiara kamfoo no.
He taught in their synagogues and was glorified by everyone.
16 Yesu baa Nasaret, kurow a ne mmofraase wɔtetew no wɔ mu no mu. Na sɛnea ɔtaa yɛ no, ɔkɔɔ hyiadan mu homeda. Ɔsɔre kɔɔ anim sɛ ɔrekɔkenkan Kyerɛwsɛm.
Then Jesus came to Nazareth, where He had been brought up. As was His custom, He entered the synagogue on the Sabbath. And when He stood up to read,
17 Wɔde Odiyifo Yesaia nhoma hyɛɛ ne nsa na obuee baabi a wɔakyerɛw se,
the scroll of the prophet Isaiah was handed to Him. Unrolling it, He found the place where it was written:
18 “Awurade Honhom wɔ me so, na wɔafrɛ me sɛ memmɛka asɛmpa nkyerɛ ahiafo. Na menka nkyerɛ wɔn a wɔwɔ nnommum mu se, wobenya ahofadi, na anifuraefo ahu ade ama wɔn a wobu wɔn animtiaa nso anya anuonyam.
“The Spirit of the Lord is on Me, because He has anointed Me to preach good news to the poor. He has sent Me to proclaim liberty to the captives and recovery of sight to the blind, to release the oppressed,
19 Honhom no asoma me sɛ memmɛka se, Awurade adom no aba.”
to proclaim the year of the Lord’s favor.”
20 Ɔtoo nhoma no mu de maa ɔhwɛfo no na ɔtenaa ase; na obiara a ɔwɔ hyiadan no mu hɔ no hwɛɛ no komm.
Then He rolled up the scroll, returned it to the attendant, and sat down. The eyes of everyone in the synagogue were fixed on Him,
21 Afei ɔka kyerɛɛ wɔn se, “Nnɛ na Kyerɛwsɛm no aba mu.”
and He began by saying, “Today this Scripture is fulfilled in your hearing.”
22 Na kasa pa ne nsɛm ahorow a ɔkaa no yɛɛ wɔn a wɔtee nyinaa nwonwa ma wobisaa se, “Ɛnyɛ Yosef ba no ni?”
All spoke well of Him and marveled at the gracious words that came from His lips. “Isn’t this the son of Joseph?” they asked.
23 Yesu ka kyerɛɛ wɔn se, “Akyinnye biara nni ho sɛ mode bɛ yi bebu me sɛ, ‘Ɔyaresafo, sa wo ho yare. Nea yɛate afa wo ho sɛ woyɛɛ wɔ Kapernaum no, yɛ bi wɔ wo kurom ha.’
Jesus said to them, “Surely you will quote this proverb to Me: ‘Physician, heal yourself! Do here in Your hometown what we have heard that You did in Capernaum.’”
24 “Nanso mereka ama moate ase sɛ, Odiyifo biara nni anuonyam wɔ ne kurom.
Then He added, “Truly I tell you, no prophet is accepted in his hometown.
25 Nokware ni, Elia bere so no, na mmea akunafo bebree wɔ Israelman mu. Saa bere no osu antɔ mfe abiɛsa ne asram asia enti ɛmaa ɔkɔm kɛse baa ɔman no nyinaa mu.
But I tell you truthfully that there were many widows in Israel in the time of Elijah, when the sky was shut for three and a half years and great famine swept over all the land.
26 Nanso Onyankopɔn ansoma Odiyifo Elia ankɔ obiara nkyɛn sɛ ɔbea kunafo a na ɔwɔ Sarepta a ɛwɔ Sidon no nkyɛn.
Yet Elijah was not sent to any of them, but to the widow of Zarephath in Sidon.
27 Bio, saa bere no na akwatafo bebree wɔ Israelman mu, nanso Odiyifo Elisa ansa obiara yare sɛ ɔsahene Naaman a ofi Siriaman mu no nko ara.”
And there were many lepers in Israel in the time of Elisha the prophet. Yet not one of them was cleansed—only Naaman the Syrian.”
28 Nnipa a wɔwɔ hyiadan no mu tee ne nsɛm a ɔkae no, wɔn bo fuwii papaapa.
On hearing this, all the people in the synagogue were enraged.
29 Wɔde abufuw piapiaa no fii kurow no mu de no kɔɔ bepɔw a wɔn kurow da so no ano sɛ wɔrekɔwɔ nʼatiko ama wakɔhwe bepɔw no ase.
They got up, drove Him out of the town, and led Him to the brow of the hill on which the town was built, in order to throw Him over the cliff.
30 Nanso ɔfaa wɔn mu kɔɔ ne baabi.
But Jesus passed through the crowd and went on His way.
31 Yesu kɔɔ Kapernaum a ɛwɔ Galilea. Ɔkyerɛkyerɛɛ nnipa no homeda biara.
Then He went down to Capernaum, a town in Galilee, and on the Sabbath He began to teach the people.
32 Ɛha nso ne nkyerɛkyerɛ no yɛɛ nkurɔfo no nwonwa efisɛ ɔkasaa wɔ tumi so.
They were astonished at His teaching, because His message had authority.
33 Na ɔbarima bi wɔ hyiadan no mu hɔ a honhommɔne ahyɛ no ma. Ohuu Yesu no, ɔteɛɛ mu se,
In the synagogue there was a man possessed by the spirit of an unclean demon. He cried out in a loud voice,
34 “Yesu Nasareni, mmɛhaw yɛn. Yɛne wo nni hwee yɛ. Woaba sɛ worebɛsɛe yɛn ana? Minim onipa ko a woyɛ. Wone Onyankopɔn Ba Kronkronni no.”
“Ha! 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 Yesu hyɛɛ honhommɔne no se, “Tu fi ne mu kɔ!” Honhommɔne no de ɔbarima no hwee fam na etu fii ne mu kɔe a hwee anyɛ no.
But Jesus rebuked the demon. “Be silent!” He said. “Come out of him!” At this, the demon threw the man down before them all and came out without harming him.
36 Nnipa no nyinaa ho dwiriw wɔn, na wobisabisaa wɔn ho wɔn ho se, “Asɛm bɛn ni. Onipa bɛn ni a ɔde tumi ne ahoɔden teɛ ahonhommɔne ma wotie yi?”
All the people were overcome with amazement and asked one another, “What is this message? With authority and power He commands the unclean spirits, and they come out!”
37 Nea ɔyɛɛ yi ho asɛm trɛw faa ɔman no mu nyinaa.
And the news about Jesus spread throughout the surrounding region.
38 Yesu fii hyiadan no mu no, ɔkɔɔ Simon fi kɔtoo sɛ atiridiinini abɔ Simon asebea. Nnipa a wɔwɔ hɔ no srɛɛ no sɛ ɔnsa no yare.
After Jesus had left the synagogue, He went to the home of Simon, whose mother-in-law was suffering from a high fever. So they appealed to Jesus on her behalf,
39 Ɔkɔɔ nea ɔda hɔ kogyinaa ne nkyɛn, teɛɛ ɔyare no ma egyaee amono mu hɔ ara ma ɔsɔre maa wɔn aduan dii.
and He stood over her and rebuked the fever, and it left her. And she got up at once and began to serve them.
40 Onwini dwoe no, wɔde ayarefo pii bae se, Yesu nsa wɔn yare. Ɔde ne nsa guu wɔn so saa wɔn yare.
At sunset, all who were ill with various diseases were brought to Jesus, and laying His hands on each one, He healed them.
41 Ahohommɔne fii nnipa no pii mu a na wɔreteɛteɛ mu se, “Wone Onyankopɔn Ba no.” Nanso Yesu kaa wɔn anim, hyɛɛ wɔn sɛ wommua wɔn ano, efisɛ na ahonhommɔne no nim sɛ ɔno ne Kristo no.
Demons also came out of many people, shouting, “You are the Son of God!” But He rebuked the demons and would not allow them to speak, because they knew He was the Christ.
42 Ade kyee no, Yesu tew ne ho kɔɔ sare so baabi a ɛhɔ yɛ dinn. Nkurɔfo no kyin hwehwɛɛ no na wohuu no no, wɔsrɛɛ no sɛ ɔntena wɔn nkyɛn wɔ Kapernaum hɔ.
At daybreak, Jesus went out to a solitary place, and the crowds were looking for Him. They came to Him and tried to keep Him from leaving.
43 Yesu ka kyerɛɛ wɔn se, “Ɛsɛ sɛ meka asɛmpa a ɛfa Onyankopɔn ahenni ho no kyerɛ nkurow afoforo nso, efisɛ ɛno nti na wɔsomaa me.”
But Jesus told them, “I must preach the good news of the kingdom of God to the other towns as well, because that is why I was sent.”
44 Yesu kyinkyin Yudeaman no mu kɔɔ hyiadan ahorow mu kɔkaa asɛmpa no.
And He continued to preach in the synagogues of Judea.
