Luke 4
English Standard Version
The Temptation of Jesus
4 (A)And Jesus, (B)full of the Holy Spirit, (C)returned from the Jordan and was led (D)by the Spirit in the wilderness 2 for (E)forty days, (F)being tempted by the devil. (G)And he ate nothing during those days. And when they were ended, (H)he was hungry. 3 The devil said to him, “If you are (I)the Son of God, command (J)this stone to become bread.” 4 And Jesus answered him, (K)“It is written, (L)‘Man shall not live by bread alone.’” 5 (M)And the devil took him up and showed him all the kingdoms of the world in a moment of time, 6 and said to him, “To you (N)I will give all this authority and their glory, (O)for it has been delivered to me, and I give it to whom I will. 7 If you, then, will worship me, it will all be yours.” 8 And Jesus answered him, (P)“It is written,
9 (S)And he took him to Jerusalem and set him on the pinnacle of the temple and said to him, “If you are (T)the Son of God, throw yourself down from here, 10 for it is written,
(U)“‘He will command his angels concerning you,
to guard you,’
11 and
(V)“‘On their hands they will bear you up,
lest you strike your foot against a stone.’”
12 And Jesus answered him, “It is said, (W)‘You shall not (X)put the Lord your God to the test.’” 13 And when the devil had ended every temptation, he departed from him (Y)until an opportune time.
Jesus Begins His Ministry
14 (Z)And Jesus returned (AA)in the power of the Spirit to Galilee, and (AB)a report about him went out through all the surrounding country. 15 And (AC)he taught in their synagogues, being glorified by all.
Jesus Rejected at Nazareth
16 (AD)And he came to (AE)Nazareth, where he had been brought up. And (AF)as was his custom, (AG)he went to the synagogue on the Sabbath day, and he stood up (AH)to read. 17 And (AI)the scroll of the prophet Isaiah was given to him. He unrolled the scroll and found the place where it was written,
18 (AJ)“The Spirit of the Lord (AK)is upon me,
because he has anointed me
to (AL)proclaim good news to the poor.
(AM)He has sent me to proclaim liberty to the captives
and (AN)recovering of sight to the blind,
(AO)to set at liberty those who are oppressed,
19 (AP)to proclaim the year of the Lord's favor.”
20 And he rolled up the scroll and gave it back to the attendant and (AQ)sat down. And the eyes of all in the synagogue were (AR)fixed on him. 21 And he began to say to them, “Today (AS)this Scripture (AT)has been fulfilled in your hearing.” 22 And all spoke well of him and marveled at (AU)the gracious words that were coming from his mouth. And they said, (AV)“Is not this (AW)Joseph's son?” 23 And he said to them, “Doubtless you will quote to me this proverb, (AX)‘“Physician, heal yourself.” What we have heard you did (AY)at Capernaum, do here in your hometown as well.’” 24 And he said, “Truly, I say to you, (AZ)no prophet is acceptable in his hometown. 25 But in truth, I tell you, there were many widows in Israel in the days of Elijah, when (BA)the heavens were shut up three years and six months, and a great famine came over all the land, 26 and Elijah was sent to none of them (BB)but only to Zarephath, in the land of Sidon, to a woman who was a widow. 27 And (BC)there were many lepers[a] in Israel in the time of the prophet Elisha, and none of them was cleansed, (BD)but only Naaman the Syrian.” 28 When they heard these things, all in the synagogue were filled with wrath. 29 And they rose up and (BE)drove him out of the town and brought him to the brow of the hill on which their town was built, so that they could throw him down the cliff. 30 But (BF)passing through their midst, he went away.
Jesus Heals a Man with an Unclean Demon
31 (BG)And he (BH)went down to Capernaum, a city of Galilee. And (BI)he was teaching them (BJ)on the Sabbath, 32 and (BK)they were astonished at his teaching, (BL)for his word possessed authority. 33 And (BM)in the synagogue there was a man who had the spirit of an unclean demon, and he cried out with a loud voice, 34 “Ha![b] (BN)What have you to do with us, Jesus of Nazareth? Have you come to destroy us? (BO)I know who you are—(BP)the Holy One of God.” 35 But Jesus (BQ)rebuked him, saying, “Be silent and come out of him!” And when the demon had thrown him down in their midst, he came out of him, having done him no harm. 36 And (BR)they were all amazed and said to one another, “What is this word? (BS)For with authority and power he commands the unclean spirits, and they come out!” 37 And (BT)reports about him went out into every place in the surrounding region.
Jesus Heals Many
38 (BU)And he arose and left the synagogue and entered Simon's house. Now (BV)Simon's mother-in-law was ill with a high fever, and they appealed to him on her behalf. 39 And he stood over her and (BW)rebuked the fever, and it left her, and immediately she rose and began to serve them.
40 Now when the sun was setting, all those who had any who were sick with various diseases brought them to him, and (BX)he laid his hands on every one of them and healed them. 41 (BY)And demons also came out of many, (BZ)crying, “You are (CA)the Son of God!” But he rebuked them and (CB)would not allow them to speak, because they knew that he was (CC)the Christ.
Jesus Preaches in Synagogues
42 (CD)And when it was day, he departed and went (CE)into a desolate place. And (CF)the people sought him and came to him, and would have kept him from leaving them, 43 but he said to them, (CG)“I must (CH)preach the good news of the kingdom of God to the other towns as well; for I was sent for this purpose.” 44 And he was preaching (CI)in the synagogues of Judea.[c]
Lukka 4
Endagaano Enkadde nʼEndagaano Empya
Okukemebwa kwa Yesu
4 (A)Awo Yesu, ng’ajjudde Mwoyo Mutukuvu, n’avaayo ku mugga Yoludaani, Omwoyo n’amutwala mu ddungu, 2 (B)n’akemebwa Setaani okumala ennaku amakumi ana. Ebbanga eryo lyonna yalimala nga talidde ku mmere, bwe lyaggwaako enjala n’emuluma.
3 Setaani n’agamba Yesu nti, “Obanga oli, Mwana wa Katonda, gamba ejjinja lino lifuuke emmere.”
4 (C)Naye Yesu n’amuddamu nti, “Kyawandiikibwa nti, ‘Omuntu taabenga mulamu lwa mmere yokka.’ ”
5 (D)Awo Setaani n’amulinnyisa waggulu, mu kaseera katono n’amulaga obwakabaka bwonna obw’omu nsi. 6 (E)Setaani n’amugamba nti, “Nzija kukuwa obuyinza ku obwo bwonna n’ekitiibwa kyabwo, kubanga bwonna bwa mpeebwa era nnyinza okubuwa omuntu yenna gwe njagala. 7 Bw’onoofukamira n’onsinza byonna ebyo bijja kuba bibyo.”
8 (F)Naye Yesu n’addamu nti, “Kyawandiikibwa nti, ‘Osinzanga Mukama Katonda wo, era gw’oweerezanga yekka.’ ”
9 Ate Setaani n’amutwala mu Yerusaalemi, n’amulinnyisa waggulu ku kasolya ka Yeekaalu awasingira ddala obutumbiivu, n’amugamba nti, “Obanga oli Mwana wa Katonda, buuka weesuule wansi. 10 Kubanga kyawandiikibwa nti,
“ ‘Katonda aliragira bamalayika be
bakukuume.
11 (G)Era balikuwanirira mu mikono gyabwe,
oleme okwerumya nga weekonye ekigere kyo ku jjinja.’ ”
12 (H)Yesu n’addamu nti, “Kyawandiikibwa nti, ‘Tokemanga Mukama Katonda wo.’ ”
13 (I)Awo Setaani bwe yamaliriza okukema Yesu mu buli ngeri yonna, n’amuviira okutuusa ekiseera ekirala.
Yesu Atandika Omulimu gwe mu Ggaliraaya
14 (J)Awo Yesu n’akomawo mu Ggaliraaya ng’ajjudde amaanyi aga Mwoyo Mutukuvu, n’ayogerwako mu bitundu byonna ebyetoolodde mu byalo. 15 (K)N’ayigirizanga mu makuŋŋaaniro gaabwe, era bonna ne bamutendereza.
16 (L)Bwe yatuuka e Nazaaleesi, ekibuga mwe yakulira, n’agenda mu kkuŋŋaaniro ku Ssabbiiti, nga bwe yali empisa ye. N’ayimuka okusoma. 17 Ne bamuwa ekitabo kya nnabbi Isaaya, n’abikkula omuzingo gw’empapula n’alaba awagamba nti,
18 (M)“Omwoyo wa Mukama ali ku nze.
Anfuseeko amafuta okubuulira abaavu Enjiri.
Antumye okubuulira abasibe okuteebwa,
n’abazibe b’amaaso okuzibulwa amaaso balabe,
n’abanyigirizibwa okufuna eddembe,
19 (N)n’okulangirira ekiseera kya Mukama eky’okulagiramu ekisa kye.”
20 (O)N’azingako omuzingo n’aguddiza omuweereza, n’atuula. Abantu bonna mu kkuŋŋaaniro ne bamusimba amaaso. 21 N’atandika okubategeeza nti, “Olwa leero, Ebyawandiikibwa bino bye muwulidde bituukiridde!”
22 (P)Bonna abaaliwo ne bamutenda nga beewuunya ebigambo bye ebyekisa ebyava mu kamwa ke, nga bwe beebuuza nti, “Ono si ye mutabani wa Yusufu?”
23 (Q)Yesu n’abagamba nti, “Ddala ddala muliyinza n’okuŋŋamba mu lugero luno nti, ‘Omusawo, weewonye,’ nga mugamba nti, ‘Buli kye twawulira mu Kaperunawumu, kikolere na wano mu kyalo kyo.’ ”
24 (R)Naye n’abagamba nti, “Ddala ddala mbagamba nti, Tewali nnabbi ayanirizibwa mu kyalo ky’ewaabwe! 25 (S)Naye mazima mbagamba nti, waaliwo bannamwandu bangi mu biseera bya nnabbi Eriya, mu Isirayiri enkuba bwe yamala emyaka esatu n’ekitundu nga tetonnya, n’enjala n’egwa mu nsi yonna. 26 (T)Naye nnabbi Eriya teyatumibwa eri omu ku bannamwandu abo, wabula yatumibwa eri nnamwandu ow’e Zalefaasi mu Sidoni. 27 (U)Ne mu biseera bya nnabbi Erisa waaliwo abagenge[a] bangi mu Isirayiri, naye tewali n’omu ku bo eyalongoosebwa okuggyako Naamani Omusuuli.”
28 Bonna abaali mu kuŋŋaaniro ne bakwatibwa obusungu olw’ebigambo ebyo, 29 (V)ne basituka, ne bamusindiikiriza okumutuusa ebweru w’ekibuga ku bbangabanga ly’olusozi ekibuga kyabwe kwe kyazimbibwa, bamusindike agwe eri wansi. 30 (W)Naye n’abayitamu wakati ne yeetambulira.
Yesu Agoba Dayimooni
31 (X)Awo Yesu n’alaga e Kaperunawumu, ekibuga eky’e Ggaliraaya n’abayigirizanga ku nnaku eza Ssabbiiti. 32 (Y)Ne beewuunya nnyo okuyigiriza kwe. Kubanga yayogeranga nga nnannyini buyinza.
33 Mu kkuŋŋaaniro, mwalimu omusajja eyaliko ddayimooni n’atandika okuwowoggana nti, 34 (Z)“Woowe! Otulanga ki, ggwe Yesu ow’e Nazaaleesi? Ozze kutuzikiriza? Nze nkumanyi, ggwe mutukuvu wa Katonda.”
35 (AA)Yesu n’amuboggolera ng’agamba nti, “Sirika! Muveeko!” Awo dayimooni n’asuula eri omusajja wansi wakati mu bantu, n’amuvaako nga tamulumizza.
36 (AB)Buli muntu n’atya nnyo nga bwe beebuuzaganya nti, “Kigambo ki kino? Kubanga alagira n’obuyinza n’amaanyi emyoyo emibi ne giva mu muntu, ekireetera ne dayimooni okumugondera.” 37 (AC)Amawulire agakwata ku Yesu ne gabuna mu kitundu ekyo kyonna ekyetoolodde awo.
Yesu Awonya Abalwadde Bangi
38 Awo Yesu bwe yava mu kkuŋŋaaniro, n’alaga mu maka ga Simooni. Yasanga nnyina mukazi wa Simooni omusujja gumuluma nnyo, abantu ne bamwegayiririra ku lulwe. 39 (AD)Yesu n’ayimirira okumpi n’omulwadde we yali, n’alagira omusujja gumuwoneko, amangwago omulwadde n’awona, n’asituka n’abaweereza!
40 (AE)Obudde bwe bwali buwungeera, abantu bonna abaalina abalwadde ab’endwadde eza buli ngeri, ne babaleeta eri Yesu, n’abassaako emikono buli omu n’amuwonya. 41 (AF)Abamu baaliko baddayimooni, Yesu n’abalagira ne bava ku balwadde nga bwe baleekaana nti, “Ggwe Mwana wa Katonda.” Naye kubanga baamumanya nga ye Kristo, n’atabaganya kukyogerako.
42 Bwe bwakya Yesu n’alaga mu kifo etali bantu. Ekibiina ky’abantu ne bamunoonya, okutuusa lwe baamulaba ne balaga gy’ali ne bamwegayirira aleme kubavaako. 43 (AG)Naye n’abaddamu nti, “Kinsaanira okubuulira Enjiri y’obwakabaka bwa Katonda ne mu bifo ebirala kubanga eyo y’ensonga kyenava ntumibwa.” 44 (AH)Yesu ne yeeyongera okubuulira mu makuŋŋaaniro gaabwe mu Buyudaaya.
