Luka 7
1 Kubi na Yesu nmala ubellu nimon natuf nanite, a pira Ukafarnahum.
And when he had completed all his words in the hearing of the people, he entered into Capernaum.
2 Kucin nmong unit udia, na awadi nin nkanu acina ukuu, Cikilari wa di nin su mye.
And a certain centurion's bondman who was dear to him was ill and about to die;
3 Bara na alanza ubellen Yesu, unit udia une to akukune na Yahudawa idi yicila ghe adak ada tucu kucin kone bara awa kuu.
and having heard of Jesus, he sent to him elders of the Jews, begging him that he might come and save his bondman.
4 Kubi na ida kupoo Yesu inung tiringhe iworo, “Ucaun isughe nani,
But they, being come to Jesus, besought him diligently, saying, He is worthy to whom thou shouldest grant this,
5 Bara adinin su nanit bite, amere na ke nari kutyin nliran kone.”
for he loves our nation, and himself has built the synagogue for us.
6 Bara nani Yesu leo ubun nanghinu kubi na awadii piit nin kilare unit udia une to adondon mye iworoghe, “Cikilara na uwa ti litife kudira ba, na meng batin uda piru nanya kilari nig ba.
And Jesus went with them. But already, when he was not far from the house, the centurion sent to him friends, saying to him, Lord, do not trouble thyself, for I am not worthy that thou shouldest enter under my roof.
7 Bara nanere na nyene liti nighe nbatin ndak kitife ba, belle ligbulang kucin nighe ba shinu.
Wherefore neither did I count myself worthy to come to thee. But say by a word and my servant shall be healed.
8 Bara meng wang unitari na idinin tigo, ndinin nasojja, asa nworo ulle, 'Cang,' asa anya andi nworo umong, 'Da,' asa ada, ame kucin nighe su nenge asa asu.”
For I also am a man placed under authority, having under myself soldiers, and I say to this [one], Go, and he goes; and to another, Come, and he comes; and to my bondman, Do this, and he does [it].
9 Kubi na Yesu nlanza nani akiffo unu, a gitirino kiti ligozi na idin dortu ghe, “Meng bellin munu, vat nanyan Israila na nse umon nin nimusin nle uyinu sa uyenu ba.”
And Jesus hearing this wondered at him, and turning to the crowd following him said, I say to you, Not even in Israel have I found so great faith.
10 Inung alenge na to nani, kpilla udu kilari idi se kucine nshino.
And they who had been sent returning to the house found the bondman, who was ill, in good health.
11 Nin nkon kubi, uso na Yesu wadi ncinu udu kipin na idin yicu unayin, adon katwa mye wadin ncinu nanghe, ligowe nin ligozi nanit gbardang.
And it came to pass afterwards he went into a city called Nain, and many of his disciples and a great crowd went with him.
12 Na ada kupo kipine kidia we, iwa min umong unit na akuu, amere gone cas kitin nene, ame wand ules mye na kuu, ligozi gbardang nanya kipine wa di nanghe.
And as he drew near to the gate of the city, behold, a dead man was carried out, the only son of his mother, and she a widow, and a very considerable crowd of the city [was] with her.
13 Na ayeneghe, Cikilari lanza nkunekune mye kang, “Na uwa sillu ba.”
And the Lord, seeing her, was moved with compassion for her, and said to her, Weep not;
14 A da ubun mine adudo akwatu libe, itunna iyisina a woro, “Kwanya, nbellin fe, fita.”
and coming up he touched the bier, and the bearers stopped. And he said, Youth, I say to thee, Wake up.
15 Atina a fita a so acizina uliru, Yesu yiraghe ana unene.
And the dead sat up and began to speak; and he gave him to his mother.
16 Feu tina fi da nani vat. Itina nzazinu Kutelle iworo, “Unan nliru nin nnu Kutelle udia nnuzu nanya bite” nin “Kutelle din yenju anit mye.”
And fear seized on all, and they glorified God, saying, A great prophet has been raised up amongst us; and God has visited his people.
17 Uleli uliru kitene Yesu malla kiti nanya vat Yahudiya nin nigbir kupowe.
And this report went out in all Judaea concerning him, and in all the surrounding country.
18 Adon katuwa Yohanna bellinghe vat nile imone.
And the disciples of John brought him word concerning all these things:
19 Yohanna yicila adon katuwa mye an waba, a ti nani udu kiti Cikilari i woro, “Fere unan dak ule, sa umon ghari ule na tiba so nca mye?”
and John, having called two of his disciples, sent to Jesus, saying, Art thou he that is coming, or are we to wait for another?
20 Kubi na ida kupon Yesu, anite woro, “Yohanna unan shintizinu nanit nmyen nto nari kilifi ti woro fi, 'Fere unan Dak Ule, sa umon duku na tibo soon nca mye?'”
But the men having come to him said, John the baptist has sent us to thee, saying, Art thou he that is coming, or are we to wait for another?
21 Nkoni kube anit gbardang wa shinn nin tikonu mine nin nniu na nan nruhu unanzang, ata anit gbardang aduu yenje kiti.
In that hour he healed many of diseases and plagues and evil spirits, and to many blind he granted sight.
22 Yesu kauwa a woro nani, “Asa ikpilla, bellen Yohanna ku ile imon na iyene inani lanza. Anit aduu di nyenju kiti, a gurgu din cinu, akuturu din nshizhinu, aturi din lanzu, idin fizu anan kul udu ulai, akimon din lanzu uliru nlai.
And Jesus answering said to them, Go, bring back word to John of what ye have seen and heard: that blind see, lame walk, lepers are cleansed, deaf hear, dead are raised, poor are evangelized;
23 Unit ulenge na asuna uyinnu nin bara imon ile na ndi su ba, ame unan nmariari.”
and blessed is whosoever shall not be offended in me.
24 Kubi na anan kaduran Yohanna nkpilla, Yesu cizina ubellu ligoze nanite kitene Yohanna, “Iyaghari iwa do nanya kusho ndi yene amon ale na ufunu din pilluwa?
And the messengers of John having departed, he began to speak to the crowds concerning John: What went ye out into the wilderness to behold? a reed shaken by the wind?
25 Bara nani iyaghari iwa nuzu ndi yene, unit unan kuyok kucine? Yene anit alenge na idinsu kuyok kucine inani sosin nanya nlanzun mang, idi kilari tigo wari.
But what went ye out to see? a man clothed in delicate garments? Behold, those who are in splendid clothing and live luxuriously are in the courts of kings.
26 Bara nani Iyaghari i wa nuzu udas idi yene, una nliru nin nnu Kutelle? Nanere, mong bellin munu, ame katin unan nliru nin nnu Kutelle.
But what went ye out to see? a prophet? Yea, I say to you, and [what is] more excellent than a prophet.
27 Amore ulenge na ina nyertin litime, 'Yene meng nto unan kadura nighe nbun fe, ulenge na aba kelu libau kamin fe.'
This is he concerning whom it is written, Behold, I send my messenger before thy face, who shall prepare thy way before thee;
28 Meng nbellin munu nanya nale na awani na macu nani, na umon katin Yohanna ku ba, nin nani tigo Kutelle akatinghe.”
for I say unto you, Among them that are born of women a greater [prophet] is no one than John [the baptist]; but he who is a little one in the kingdom of God is greater than he.
29 Kubi na vat nanite nlanza nani, umunu anan sesun ngandu, itambata Kutelle unit ulau wari, iwadi nanya nalenge na iwae ushintinu Yohanna.
(And all the people who heard [it], and the tax-gatherers, justified God, having been baptised with the baptism of John;
30 Bara nani, Afarisiyawa nin na nan nyiru nanyan nduka na Yahudawa, alenge na awa shintin nani, iwa nari njinjin Kutelle bara atimine.
but the Pharisees and the lawyers rendered null as to themselves the counsel of God, not having been baptised by him.)
31 Nin nyanghari mba gwadu anit nko kuje muna? Idi nafo iyaghari?
To whom therefore shall I liken the men of this generation, and to whom are they like?
32 Idi nafo nono na idi navu nanya nkassa, alenge na isa iso iyica atimine iwroro, 'Tidin npee nishirau bara anughe, na anug nsu ikarma ba, tisu tiyom ana anung nsu kuculu ba.'
They are like children sitting in the market-place, and calling one to another and saying, We have piped to you, and ye have not danced; we have mourned to you, and ye have not wept.
33 Bara na Yohanna wa dak na asu kilecu sa usonu ba, anung woro, 'Ame kugbergenu ri.'
For John the baptist has come neither eating bread nor drinking wine, and ye say, He has a demon.
34 Gono nnit daa adin nlii, aso anug woro, 'Yene, ame unan kileou nin nso udondon na nan sesun ngandu nin nanan kulapi!'
The Son of man has come eating and drinking, and ye say, Behold an eater and wine-drinker, a friend of tax-gatherers and sinners;
35 Bara nani njinjin nsu utucu nvat nnono mye.”
and wisdom has been justified of all her children.
36 Nene nkon ku Farisiyawa waddi likura au Yesu lii imonli ninghe. Bara kubi na Yesu npira kilari ku Yahudawe, ikilino kutebul isu kileou.
But one of the Pharisees begged him that he would eat with him. And entering into the house of the Pharisee he took his place at table;
37 Nani umon uwani wa duku nanya kagbire unan kulapi, ayinno nworu Yesu din nli nimon li kilari Kufarisiyawa, ada nin nmon nnut albasta.
and behold, a woman in the city, who was a sinner, and knew that he was sitting at meat in the house of the Pharisee, having taken an alabaster box of myrrh,
38 A da yisina nbun mye, kupo na bunu mye a gilla. Imizine tantizo nabune, atina nweze nin titi liti mye, ngbindirizinu nabunu, nlolizu nanin nin nufe.
and standing at his feet behind [him] weeping, began to wash his feet with tears; and she wiped them with the hairs of her head, and kissed his feet, and anointed [them] with the myrrh.
39 Kube na Afarisiyawe alenge na iyicila Yesu ku, Iyene nani a kpiliza nanya kibinai mye aworo, “Ndah unit ule unan nliru nin nnu Kutelleri, awa yinnu imusi nwani ule na adin duduzughe ame unan kulapiari.”
And the Pharisee who had invited him, seeing it, spoke with himself saying, This [person] if he were a prophet would have known who and what the woman is who touches him, for she is a sinner.
40 Yesu kauwa a woroghe, “Simon, ndinin nimon ile na mba bellinfi.” A woro, “Belle unan yiru!”
And Jesus answering said to him, Simon, I have somewhat to say to thee. And he says, Teacher, say [it].
41 Yesu woroghe, “Amon wa duku an waba iwa seru ure kiti nnan nizu nre, warum wa sere tidinari akat ataun, ulele tidinari akut ataun.
There were two debtors of a certain creditor: one owed five hundred denarii and the other fifty;
42 Na iwa dinin nikurfin nbiuwe ba, a woro nani na iwa biya ba. Bara uyemeari nanya mine ba katinu nin su mye?”
but as they had nothing to pay, he forgave both of them [their debt]: [say, ] which of them therefore will love him most?
43 Simon kauwa ghe aworo, “Ndi yenju ulenge na adin dortu ghe ikurfun idia.” Yesu woroghe, “Fe uwusu kidegen dert.”
And Simon answering said, I suppose he to whom he forgave the most. And he said to him, Thou hast rightly judged.
44 Yesu gitirno kiti nwane a woro Simon ku, “uyene uwani ule npira kilari fe, na unayi nmyen nkusu nabunu, ame nin nmizin a kikkai abunu, amini nwese nin titi mye.
And turning to the woman he said to Simon, Seest thou this woman? I entered into thy house; thou gavest me not water on my feet, but she has washed my feet with tears, and wiped them with her hair.
45 Na fe ngbindiri ba, amere, unuzu kube na ndah nanye, na asuna ugbindiri zinu nabunu nigbe ba.
Thou gavest me not a kiss, but she from the time I came in has not ceased kissing my feet.
46 Na uwolo abunu nighe nin nuf ba ame nwolo abunu nighe nin nnuf.
My head with oil thou didst not anoint, but she has anointed my feet with myrrh.
47 Bara ile imon na asu, nworo fi ame ulenge na adinin nalapi inani nyapa ghe, ata usu gbardang, bara ulenge na iyapa ghe cinglin, ame nta usu cingling.”
For which cause I say to thee, Her many sins are forgiven; for she loved much; but he to whom little is forgiven loves little.
48 Atuna aworoghe, “Iyapa alapi fe.”
And he said to her, Thy sins are forgiven.
49 Alenge na idi kileowe ligowe woro nati mine, “Ghari ule na awasa ayapa kulapi?”
And they that were with [them] at table began to say within themselves, Who is this who forgives also sins?
50 Nani Yesu woro nwani une, “Uyinnu fe sa uyene nsu utucufe caan sheuwu.”
And he said to the woman, Thy faith has saved thee; go in peace.
