Luka 7
1 Kubi na Yesu nmala ubellu nimon natuf nanite, a pira Ukafarnahum.
Now when He had finished his discourse in the audience of the people, He entered into Capernaum: and a certain centurion's servant,
2 Kucin nmong unit udia, na awadi nin nkanu acina ukuu, Cikilari wa di nin su mye.
whom he had a great value for, was ill and ready 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 unto Him the elders of the Jews, beseeching him that He would come and heal his servant.
4 Kubi na ida kupoo Yesu inung tiringhe iworo, “Ucaun isughe nani,
And when they came to Jesus, they intreated Him earnestly, saying, he is worthy of this favor:
5 Bara adinin su nanit bite, amere na ke nari kutyin nliran kone.”
for he loveth our nation, and hath built us a synagogue.
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.
So Jesus went with them. And when He was now not far from the house, the centurion sent some of his friends to Him, saying Lord, trouble not thyself, for I am not worthy that thou shouldst enter under my roof:
7 Bara nanere na nyene liti nighe nbatin ndak kitife ba, belle ligbulang kucin nighe ba shinu.
neither did I think myself worthy to come unto thee. But speak the word, and my servant will be recovered.
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 the authority of others, and have soldiers under me; and I say to one, Go, and he goeth; and to another, Come, and he cometh; and to my servant, Do this, and he doth 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 when Jesus heard these things, He marvelled, and turning about, said to the multitude that followed Him, I declare unto you, I have not found so great faith, no not in Israel.
10 Inung alenge na to nani, kpilla udu kilari idi se kucine nshino.
And when they that were sent, returned to the house, they found the servant well, that had been sick.
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 the day after He went to a city called Nain; and many of his disciples went with Him, and a great multitude besides:
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 came near to the gate of the city, behold, there was a dead man carrying out to be buried, his mother's only son, and she was a widow: and many of the people of the city were with her.
13 Na ayeneghe, Cikilari lanza nkunekune mye kang, “Na uwa sillu ba.”
And when the Lord saw her, He was moved with compassion for her, and said to her, Do not weep.
14 A da ubun mine adudo akwatu libe, itunna iyisina a woro, “Kwanya, nbellin fe, fita.”
And He came up and touched the bier, (and the bearers stopped, ) and He said, Young man, I say unto thee, arise.
15 Atina a fita a so acizina uliru, Yesu yiraghe ana unene.
And the dead person sat up, and began to speak: and He delivered 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 an awe seized them all, and they glorified God, saying, a great prophet is risen up among us, and God hath visited his people.
17 Uleli uliru kitene Yesu malla kiti nanya vat Yahudiya nin nigbir kupowe.
And this report of Him was spread through all Judea, and in all the country round about.
18 Adon katuwa Yohanna bellinghe vat nile imone.
And the disciples of John told him of all these things: so John called two of his disciples to him,
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 sent them to Jesus, saying, Art thou He that was to come, or are we to expect 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?'”
And the men came to Him, and said, John the baptist hath sent us unto thee, saying, Art thou He that was to come, or are we to expect another?
21 Nkoni kube anit gbardang wa shinn nin tikonu mine nin nniu na nan nruhu unanzang, ata anit gbardang aduu yenje kiti.
(Now at that very time He cured many of their diseases and plagues, and of evil spirits, and gave sight to many that were blind.)
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 unto them, Go and tell John what ye have seen and heard: that the blind recover sight, the lame walk, lepers are cleansed, the deaf hear, the dead are raised, the poor have the gospel preached to them,
23 Unit ulenge na asuna uyinnu nin bara imon ile na ndi su ba, ame unan nmariari.”
and happy is he who shall not be offended at any thing 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?
When the messengers of John were departed, He began to speak unto the people concerning John, what went ye out into the wilderness to see?
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.
a reed shaken by the wind? but what did ye go out to see? a man clothed in soft raiment? behold, they that are dressed in fine clothes and live delicately, are in palaces, not in deserts: but what went ye out to see?
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.
a prophet? yea, I say unto you, and much more 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 of 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 tell you that among the sons of men there is not a greater prophet than John the baptist: (though the least 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 that heard him, even the publicans, justified God, being baptized 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 indeed and the lawyers rejected the counsel of God within themselves, and were not baptized by him.---
31 Nin nyanghari mba gwadu anit nko kuje muna? Idi nafo iyaghari?
Whereunto therefore shall I compare the men of this generation?
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.'
and to what are they like? they are like children sitting in the market-place, and calling to one another, and saying, "We have played pleasant tunes to you, and ye have not danced; we have sung mournful ones 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 came neither eating bread, nor drinking wine, and ye say, he hath 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 is come eating and drinking like other men, and ye call Him a gluttonous man and a wine bibber, and a friend of publicans and sinners.
35 Bara nani njinjin nsu utucu nvat nnono mye.”
But wisdom is justified by 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.
And one of the pharisees asked Him to eat with him: and He went into the pharisee's house, and sat down.
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, that was a sinner, when she knew that He was at table in the pharisee's house,
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.
brought an alabaster-box of ointment, and stood at his feet behind Him, weeping, and washed his feet with tears, and wiped them with the hairs of her head, and kissed his feet, and anointed them with the ointment.
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.”
But when the pharisee that invited Him saw it, he said within himself, This man, if he were a prophet, would have known who and what sort of a woman this is that toucheth Him; for she is a notorious sinner.
40 Yesu kauwa a woroghe, “Simon, ndinin nimon ile na mba bellinfi.” A woro, “Belle unan yiru!”
And Jesus said unto him, Simon, I have something to say to thee: (and he replied, Master, say on.)
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.
A certain creditor had two debtors, the one owed him five hundred denaries, 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?”
and they not being able to pay him, he freely forgave them both: tell me therefore, which of them 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 answered, I suppose he to whom he forgave most. And Jesus said unto 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, Dost thou see this woman? I came into thine house, and thou gavest me no water for my feet; but she has bathed my feet with her tears, and wiped them with the hairs of her head.
45 Na fe ngbindiri ba, amere, unuzu kube na ndah nanye, na asuna ugbindiri zinu nabunu nigbe ba.
Thou gavest me not the respect of a kiss; but this woman, ever since she came in, hath not ceased to kiss my feet.
46 Na uwolo abunu nighe nin nuf ba ame nwolo abunu nighe nin nnuf.
Thou didst not anoint my head with common oil, but she hath anointed even my feet with sweet ointment.
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.”
Wherefore, I tell thee, her sins though many are forgiven, for she loved much: but he to whom little is forgiven, loveth but little.
48 Atuna aworoghe, “Iyapa alapi fe.”
And He said unto her, Thy sins are forgiven.
49 Alenge na idi kileowe ligowe woro nati mine, “Ghari ule na awasa ayapa kulapi?”
And they that sat at table with Him, said within themselves, Who is this that forgiveth sins also?
50 Nani Yesu woro nwani une, “Uyinnu fe sa uyene nsu utucufe caan sheuwu.”
But He said to the woman, Thy faith hath saved thee, go in peace.
