Luke 4

NEW AMERICAN BIBLE	Peshitta
1 Filled with the holy Spirit, Jesus returned from the Jordan and was led by the Spirit into the desert	1 ܝܫܘܥ ܕܝܢ ܟܕ ܡܠܐ ܪܘܚܐ ܕܩܘܕܫܐ ܗܦܟ ܡܢ ܝܘܪܕܢܢ ܘܕܒܪܬܗ ܪܘܚܐ ܠܚܘܪܒܐ ܀
2 for forty days, to be tempted by the devil. He ate nothing during those days, and when they were over he was hungry.	2 ܝܘܡܬܐ ܐܪܒܥܝܢ ܕܢܬܢܤܐ ܡܢ ܐܟܠܩܪܨܐ ܘܠܐ ܠܥܤ ܡܕܡ ܒܗܢܘܢ ܝܘܡܬܐ ܘܟܕ ܫܠܡ ܐܢܘܢ ܠܚܪܬܐ ܟܦܢ ܀
3 The devil said to him, "If you are the Son of God, command this stone to become bread."	3 ܘܐܡܪ ܠܗ ܐܟܠܩܪܨܐ ܐܢ ܒܪܗ ܐܢܬ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܐܡܪ ܠܟܐܦܐ ܗܕܐ ܕܬܗܘܐ ܠܚܡܐ ܀
4 Jesus answered him, "It is written, 'One does not live by bread alone.'"	4 ܥܢܐ ܝܫܘܥ ܘܐܡܪ ܠܗ ܟܬܝܒ ܗܘ ܕܠܐ ܗܘܐ ܒܠܚܡܐ ܒܠܚܘܕ ܚܝܐ ܒܪܢܫܐ ܐܠܐ ܒܟܠ ܦܬܓܡ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܀
5 Then he took him up and showed him all the kingdoms of the world in a single instant.	5 ܘܐܤܩܗ ܤܛܢܐ ܠܛܘܪܐ ܪܡܐ ܘܚܘܝܗ ܟܠܗܝܢ ܡܠܟܘܬܐ ܕܐܪܥܐ ܒܥܕܢܐ ܙܥܘܪܐ ܀
6 The devil said to him, "I shall give to you all this power and their glory; for it has been handed over to me, and I may give it to whomever I wish.	6 ܘܐܡܪ ܠܗ ܐܟܠܩܪܨܐ ܠܟ ܐܬܠ ܫܘܠܛܢܐ ܗܢܐ ܟܠܗ ܘܫܘܒܚܗ ܕܠܝ ܡܫܠܡ ܘܠܡܢ ܕܐܨܒܐ ܝܗܒ ܐܢܐ ܠܗ ܀
7 All this will be yours, if you worship me."	7 ܐܢ ܗܟܝܠ ܬܤܓܘܕ ܩܕܡܝ ܕܝܠܟ ܢܗܘܐ ܟܠܗ ܀
8 Jesus said to him in reply, "It is written: 'You shall worship the Lord, your God, and him alone shall you serve.'"	8 ܥܢܐ ܝܫܘܥ ܘܐܡܪ ܠܗ ܟܬܝܒ ܗܘ ܕܠܡܪܝܐ ܐܠܗܟ ܬܤܓܘܕ ܘܠܗ ܒܠܚܘܕܘܗܝ ܬܦܠܘܚ ܀
9 Then he led him to Jerusalem, made him stand on the parapet of the temple, and said to him, "If you are the Son of God, throw yourself down from here,	9 ܘܐܝܬܝܗ ܠܐܘܪܫܠܡ ܘܐܩܝܡܗ ܥܠ ܟܢܦܐ ܕܗܝܟܠܐ ܘܐܡܪ ܠܗ ܐܢ ܒܪܗ ܐܢܬ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܐܪܡܐ ܢܦܫܟ ܡܟܐ ܠܬܚܬ ܀
10 for it is written: 'He will command his angels concerning you, to guard you,'	10 ܟܬܝܒ ܓܝܪ ܕܠܡܠܐܟܘܗܝ ܢܦܩܕ ܥܠܝܟ ܕܢܢܛܪܘܢܟ ܀
11 and: 'With their hands they will support you, lest you dash your foot against a stone.'"	11 ܘܥܠ ܕܪܥܝܗܘܢ ܢܫܩܠܘܢܟ ܕܠܐ ܬܬܩܠ ܪܓܠܟ ܒܟܐܦܐ ܀
12 Jesus said to him in reply, "It also says, 'You shall not put the Lord, your God, to the test.'"	12 ܥܢܐ ܕܝܢ ܝܫܘܥ ܘܐܡܪ ܠܗ ܐܡܝܪ ܗܘ ܕܠܐ ܬܢܤܐ ܠܡܪܝܐ ܐܠܗܟ ܀
13 When the devil had finished every temptation, he departed from him for a time.	13 ܘܟܕ ܫܠܡ ܐܟܠܩܪܨܐ ܟܠܗܘܢ ܢܤܝܘܢܘܗܝ ܦܪܩ ܡܢ ܠܘܬܗ ܥܕ ܙܒܢܐ ܀
14 Jesus returned to Galilee in the power of the Spirit, and news of him spread throughout the whole region.	14 ܘܗܦܟ ܝܫܘܥ ܒܚܝܠܐ ܕܪܘܚܐ ܠܓܠܝܠܐ ܘܢܦܩ ܥܠܘܗܝ ܛܒܐ ܒܟܠܗ ܐܬܪܐ ܕܚܕܪܝܗܘܢ ܀
15 He taught in their synagogues and was praised by all.	15 ܘܗܘ ܡܠܦ ܗܘܐ ܒܟܢܘܫܬܗܘܢ ܘܡܫܬܒܚ ܗܘܐ ܡܢ ܟܠ ܐܢܫ ܀
16 He came to Nazareth, where he had grown up, and went according to his custom into the synagogue on the sabbath day. He stood up to read	16 ܘܐܬܐ ܠܢܨܪܬ ܐܝܟܐ ܕܐܬܪܒܝ ܘܥܠ ܐܝܟܢܐ ܕܡܥܕ ܗܘܐ ܠܟܢܘܫܬܐ ܒܝܘܡܐ ܕܫܒܬܐ ܘܩܡ ܠܡܩܪܐ ܀
17 and was handed a scroll of the prophet Isaiah. He unrolled the scroll and found the passage where it was written:	17 ܘܐܬܝܗܒ ܠܗ ܤܦܪܐ ܕܐܫܥܝܐ ܢܒܝܐ ܘܦܬܚ ܝܫܘܥ ܤܦܪܐ ܘܐܫܟܚ ܕܘܟܬܐ ܐܝܟܐ ܕܟܬܝܒ ܀
18 "The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he has anointed me to bring glad tidings to the poor. He has sent me to proclaim liberty to captives and recovery of sight to the blind, to let the oppressed go free,	18 ܪܘܚܗ ܕܡܪܝܐ ܥܠܝ ܘܡܛܠ ܗܕܐ ܡܫܚܢܝ ܠܡܤܒܪܘ ܠܡܤܟܢܐ ܘܫܠܚܢܝ ܠܡܐܤܝܘ ܠܬܒܝܪܝ ܠܒܐ ܘܠܡܟܪܙܘ ܠܫܒܝܐ ܫܘܒܩܢܐ ܘܠܥܘܝܪܐ ܚܙܝܐ ܘܠܡܫܪܪܘ ܠܬܒܝܪܐ ܒܫܘܒܩܢܐ ܀
19 and to proclaim a year acceptable to the Lord."	19 ܘܠܡܟܪܙܘ ܫܢܬܐ ܡܩܒܠܬܐ ܠܡܪܝܐ ܀
20 Rolling up the scroll, he handed it back to the attendant and sat down, and the eyes of all in the synagogue looked intently at him.	20 ܘܟܪܟ ܤܦܪܐ ܘܝܗܒܗ ܠܡܫܡܫܢܐ ܘܐܙܠ ܝܬܒ ܟܠܗܘܢ ܕܝܢ ܕܒܟܢܘܫܬܐ ܥܝܢܝܗܘܢ ܚܝܪܢ ܗܘܝ ܒܗ ܀
21 He said to them, "Today this scripture passage is fulfilled in your hearing."	21 ܘܫܪܝ ܠܡܐܡܪ ܠܘܬܗܘܢ ܕܝܘܡܢܐ ܐܫܬܠܡ ܟܬܒܐ ܗܢܐ ܒܐܕܢܝܟܘܢ ܀
22 And all spoke highly of him and were amazed at the gracious words that came from his mouth. They also asked, "Isn't this the son of Joseph?"	22 ܘܤܗܕܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܠܗ ܟܠܗܘܢ ܘܡܬܕܡܪܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܒܡܠܐ ܕܛܝܒܘܬܐ ܕܢܦܩܢ ܗܘܝ ܡܢ ܦܘܡܗ ܘܐܡܪܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܠܐ ܗܘܐ ܗܢܐ ܒܪ ܝܘܤܦ ܀
23 He said to them, "Surely you will quote me this proverb, 'Physician, cure yourself,' and say, 'Do here in your native place the things that we heard were done in Capernaum.'"	23 ܐܡܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܝܫܘܥ ܟܒܪ ܬܐܡܪܘܢ ܠܝ ܡܬܠܐ ܗܢܐ ܐܤܝܐ ܐܤܐ ܢܦܫܟ ܘܟܠ ܕܫܡܥܢ ܕܥܒܕܬ ܒܟܦܪܢܚܘܡ ܥܒܕ ܐܦ ܗܪܟܐ ܒܡܕܝܢܬܟ ܀
24 And he said, "Amen, I say to you, no prophet is accepted in his own native place.	24 ܗܘ ܕܝܢ ܐܡܪ ܐܡܝܢ ܐܡܪ ܐܢܐ ܠܟܘܢ ܕܠܝܬ ܢܒܝܐ ܕܡܬܩܒܠ ܒܡܕܝܢܬܗ ܀
25 Indeed, I tell you, there were many widows in Israel in the days of Elijah when the sky was closed for three and a half years and a severe famine spread over the entire land.	25 ܫܪܪܐ ܓܝܪ ܐܡܪ ܐܢܐ ܠܟܘܢ ܕܤܓܝ ܐܪܡܠܬܐ ܐܝܬ ܗܘܝ ܒܐܝܤܪܝܠ ܒܝܘܡܝ ܐܠܝܐ ܢܒܝܐ ܟܕ ܐܬܬܚܕܘ ܫܡܝܐ ܫܢܝܢ ܬܠܬ ܘܝܪܚܐ ܫܬܐ ܘܗܘܐ ܟܦܢܐ ܪܒܐ ܒܟܠܗ ܐܪܥܐ ܀
26 It was to none of these that Elijah was sent, but only to a widow in Zarephath in the land of Sidon.	26 ܘܠܘܬ ܚܕܐ ܡܢܗܝܢ ܠܐ ܐܫܬܕܪ ܐܠܝܐ ܐܠܐ ܠܨܪܦܬ ܕܨܝܕܢ ܠܘܬ ܐܢܬܬܐ ܐܪܡܠܬܐ ܀
27 Again, there were many lepers in Israel during the time of Elisha the prophet; yet not one of them was cleansed, but only Naaman the Syrian."	27 ܘܤܓܝܐܐ ܓܪܒܐ ܐܝܬ ܗܘܘ ܒܝܬ ܐܝܤܪܝܠ ܒܝܘܡܝ ܐܠܝܫܥ ܢܒܝܐ ܘܚܕ ܡܢܗܘܢ ܠܐ ܐܬܕܟܝ ܐܠܐ ܐܢ ܢܥܡܢ ܐܪܡܝܐ ܀
28 When the people in the synagogue heard this, they were all filled with fury.	28 ܘܟܕ ܫܡܥܘ ܗܠܝܢ ܗܢܘܢ ܕܒܟܢܘܫܬܐ ܐܬܡܠܝܘ ܚܡܬܐ ܟܠܗܘܢ ܀
29 They rose up, drove him out of the town, and led him to the brow of the hill on which their town had been built, to hurl him down headlong.	29 ܘܩܡܘ ܐܦܩܘܗܝ ܠܒܪ ܡܢ ܡܕܝܢܬܐ ܘܐܝܬܝܘܗܝ ܥܕܡܐ ܠܓܒܝܢܐ ܕܛܘܪܐ ܗܘ ܕܡܕܝܢܬܗܘܢ ܒܢܝܐ ܗܘܬ ܥܠܘܗܝ ܕܢܫܕܘܢܝܗܝ ܡܢ ܫܩܝܦܐ ܀
30 But he passed through the midst of them and went away.	30 ܗܘ ܕܝܢ ܥܒܪ ܒܝܢܬܗܘܢ ܘܐܙܠ ܀
31 Jesus then went down to Capernaum, a town of Galilee. He taught them on the sabbath,	31 ܘܢܚܬ ܠܟܦܪܢܚܘܡ ܡܕܝܢܬܐ ܕܓܠܝܠܐ ܘܡܠܦ ܗܘܐ ܠܗܘܢ ܒܫܒܐ ܀
32 and they were astonished at his teaching because he spoke with authority.	32 ܘܬܡܝܗܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܒܝܘܠܦܢܗ ܕܡܫܠܛܐ ܗܘܬ ܡܠܬܗ ܀
33 In the synagogue there was a man with the spirit of an unclean demon, and he cried out in a loud voice,	33 ܘܐܝܬ ܗܘܐ ܒܟܢܘܫܬܐ ܓܒܪܐ ܕܐܝܬ ܗܘܐ ܒܗ ܪܘܚܐ ܕܫܐܕܐ ܛܢܦܐ ܘܙܥܩ ܒܩܠܐ ܪܡܐ ܀
34 "Ha! What have you to do with us, Jesus of Nazareth? Have you come to destroy us? I know who you are--the Holy One of God!"	34 ܘܐܡܪ ܫܒܘܩܝܢܝ ܡܐ ܠܢ ܘܠܟ ܝܫܘܥ ܢܨܪܝܐ ܐܬܝܬ ܠܡܘܒܕܘܬܢ ܝܕܥ ܐܢܐ ܠܟ ܡܢ ܐܢܬ ܩܕܝܫܗ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܀
35 Jesus rebuked him and said, "Be quiet! Come out of him!" Then the demon threw the man down in front of them and came out of him without doing him any harm.	35 ܘܟܐܐ ܒܗ ܝܫܘܥ ܘܐܡܪ ܤܟܘܪ ܦܘܡܟ ܘܦܘܩ ܡܢܗ ܘܫܕܝܗܝ ܫܐܕܐ ܒܡܨܥܬܐ ܘܢܦܩ ܡܢܗ ܟܕ ܠܐ ܤܪܚ ܒܗ ܡܕܡ ܀
36 They were all amazed and said to one another, "What is there about his word? For with authority and power he commands the unclean spirits, and they come out."	36 ܘܬܡܗܐ ܪܒܐ ܐܚܕ ܠܟܠܢܫ ܘܡܡܠܠܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܥܡ ܚܕܕܐ ܘܐܡܪܝܢ ܡܢܐ ܗܝ ܟܝ ܡܠܬܐ ܗܕܐ ܕܒܫܘܠܛܢܐ ܘܒܚܝܠܐ ܦܩܕܐ ܠܪܘܚܐ ܛܢܦܬܐ ܘܢܦܩܢ ܀
37 And news of him spread everywhere in the surrounding region.	37 ܘܢܦܩ ܥܠܘܗܝ ܛܒܐ ܒܟܠܗ ܐܬܪܐ ܕܚܕܪܝܗܘܢ ܀
38 After he left the synagogue, he entered the house of Simon. Simon's mother-in-law was afflicted with a severe fever, and they interceded with him about her.	38 ܘܟܕ ܢܦܩ ܝܫܘܥ ܡܢ ܟܢܘܫܬܐ ܥܠ ܠܒܝܬܗ ܕܫܡܥܘܢ ܘܚܡܬܗ ܕܫܡܥܘܢ ܐܠܝܨܐ ܗܘܬ ܒܐܫܬܐ ܪܒܬܐ ܘܒܥܘ ܡܢܗ ܡܛܠܬܗ ܀
39 He stood over her, rebuked the fever, and it left her. She got up immediately and waited on them.	39 ܘܩܡ ܠܥܠ ܡܢܗ ܘܟܐܐ ܒܐܫܬܗ ܘܫܒܩܬܗ ܘܡܚܕܐ ܩܡܬ ܘܡܫܡܫܐ ܗܘܬ ܠܗܘܢ ܀
40 At sunset, all who had people sick with various diseases brought them to him. He laid his hands on each of them and cured them.	40 ܡܥܪܒܝ ܫܡܫܐ ܕܝܢ ܟܠܗܘܢ ܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܐܝܬ ܗܘܐ ܠܗܘܢ ܟܪܝܗܐ ܕܟܪܝܗܝܢ ܒܟܘܪܗܢܐ ܡܫܚܠܦܐ ܐܝܬܝܘ ܐܢܘܢ ܠܘܬܗ ܗܘ ܕܝܢ ܥܠ ܚܕ ܚܕ ܡܢܗܘܢ ܐܝܕܗ ܤܐܡ ܗܘܐ ܘܡܐܤܐ ܗܘܐ ܠܗܘܢ ܀
41 And demons also came out from many, shouting, "You are the Son of God." But he rebuked them and did not allow them to speak because they knew that he was the Messiah.	41 ܘܢܦܩܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܐܦ ܫܐܕܐ ܡܢ ܤܓܝܐܐ ܟܕ ܡܙܥܩܝܢ ܘܐܡܪܝܢ ܕܐܢܬ ܗܘ ܡܫܝܚܐ ܒܪܗ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܘܟܐܐ ܗܘܐ ܒܗܘܢ ܘܠܐ ܫܒܩ ܗܘܐ ܠܗܘܢ ܕܢܐܡܪܘܢ ܕܝܕܥܝܢ ܕܗܘܝܘ ܡܫܝܚܐ ܀
42 At daybreak, Jesus left and went to a deserted place. The crowds went looking for him, and when they came to him, they tried to prevent him from leaving them.	42 ܘܠܨܦܪܗ ܕܝܘܡܐ ܢܦܩ ܐܙܠ ܠܗ ܠܐܬܪܐ ܚܘܪܒܐ ܘܟܢܫܐ ܒܥܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܠܗ ܘܐܬܘ ܥܕܡܐ ܠܘܬܗ ܘܐܚܕܘܗܝ ܕܠܐ ܢܐܙܠ ܠܗ ܡܢ ܠܘܬܗܘܢ ܀
43 But he said to them, "To the other towns also I must proclaim the good news of the kingdom of God, because for this purpose I have been sent."	43 ܗܘ ܕܝܢ ܝܫܘܥ ܐܡܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܕܐܦ ܠܡܕܝܢܬܐ ܐܚܪܢܝܬܐ ܘܠܐ ܠܝ ܠܡܤܒܪܘ ܡܠܟܘܬܗ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܕܥܠ ܗܕܐ ܗܘ ܐܫܬܕܪܬ ܀
44 And he was preaching in the synagogues of Judea.	44 ܘܗܘ ܡܟܪܙ ܗܘܐ ܒܟܢܘܫܬܐ ܕܓܠܝܠܐ ܀
