Sermon - Derek Suderman - "The Beginning of Scripture" Audio

Luka/Luke 4:14-21  (BYSB, CEB)

Yesu asubira i Galilaya afite imbaraga z'Umwuka, inkuru ye yamamara mu bihugu byose bihereranye n'aho. Yigishiriza mu masinagogi yabo, bose baramuhimbaza.

Ajya i Nazareti iyo yarerewe, ku munsi w'isabato yinjira mu isinagogi nk'uko yamenyereye, arahagarara ngo asome. Bamuha igitabo cy'umuhanuzi Yesaya.

Arakibumbura abona igice cyanditswemo ngo

“Umwuka w'Uwiteka ari muri jye,

Ni cyo cyatumye ansīgira,

Kugira ngo mbwirize abakene ubutumwa bwiza.

Yantumye kumenyesha imbohe ko zibohorwa,

N'impumyi ko zihumuka,

No kubohora ibisenzegeri,

No kumenyesha abantu iby'umwaka Umwami agiriyemo imbabazi.”

Amaze kubumba igitabo agisubiza umurinzi w'inzu, aricara. Abantu bose bari mu isinagogi baramutumbira. 21Nuko atangira kubabwira ati “Uyu munsi ibyo byanditswe bisohoye mu matwi yanyu.”

Jesus returned in the power of the Spirit to Galilee, and news about him spread throughout the whole countryside. He taught in their synagogues and was praised by everyone.

Jesus went to Nazareth, where he had been raised. On the Sabbath he went to the synagogue as he normally did and stood up to read. The synagogue assistant gave him the scroll from the prophet Isaiah.

He unrolled the scroll and found the place where it was written:

The Spirit of the Lord is upon me,

because the Lord has anointed me.

He has sent me to preach good news to the poor,

to proclaim release to the prisoners

and recovery of sight to the blind,

to liberate the oppressed,

and to proclaim the year of the Lord’s favor.

He rolled up the scroll, gave it back to the synagogue assistant, and sat down. Every eye in the synagogue was fixed on him. He began to explain to them, “Today, this scripture has been fulfilled just as you heard it.”
