Luke 7
1 Ni wa Yesu kle trema wa tre shishi ndji nda hi ni Kapanawum.
After he had finished speaking in the hearing of the people, he entered into Capernaum.
2 Akwe soja ri wa he ki ahi ni ner kon ma wa mi som tsutse, a buma si kpama nda yiza que.
A certain centurion’s servant, who was dear to him, was sick and at the point of death.
3 Soja wo labari Yesu nda dru ndji bi ninkon bi Yahudawa, hla dun Irji ye nda warka ni vren koh ma.
When he heard about Jesus, he sent to him elders of the Jews, asking him to come and save his servant.
4 Baya wa bu ye ni Yesu ndu bra tsutsi na tre ayi tsa du tie wayi ni wu.
When they came to Jesus, they begged him earnestly, saying, “He is worthy for you to do this for him,
5 Ani son gbugbo, wawu yi men Choch nita wu.
for he loves our nation, and he built our synagogue for us.”
6 Yesu chi ka ni wuba. U wa ana zren bran nkon rji ni koh rina, soja tru kpukpan ma duba hla ni wu, “Bachi, na tie kpa me ya na, wu toh mina tsra dun-wu ye ri ni koh mu na.
Jesus went with them. When he was now not far from the house, the centurion sent friends to him, saying to him, “Lord, do not trouble yourself, for I am not worthy for you to come under my roof.
7 Domin wuyi mi na ban ndi mi tsra dun mi ye ni wu na, u wuti hla tre riri mi toh ivren koh mu ni fie sikpa.
Therefore I did not even think myself worthy to come to you; but say the word, and my servant will be healed.
8 Me ngame mi he ndji ninkon, mi he ni Sojoji wa ba he ni wo'mu. Mi ti hla ni rhi ndi 'hi,' wa ka hi, miti hla ni rhi ngari ndi 'Ye,' wa ka ye, u ni vren ndu koh mu'a, tie nayi, wa ka tie.”
For I also am a man placed under authority, having under myself soldiers. I tell this one, ‘Go!’ and he goes; and to another, ‘Come!’ and he comes; and to my servant, ‘Do this,’ and he does it.”
9 Wa Yesu wo naki, ayi mamaki nda gbaya ndji ba ba ta wu nda tre, Mi hla yiwu, ni gbu Israila mina toh ndji iri gin gbagba nayina.
When Jesus heard these things, he marveled at him, and turned and said to the multitude who followed him, “I tell you, I have not found such great faith, no, not in Israel.”
10 Biwa ba ton ndu ba gbaye ni kon nda ton vren koh ma aha sikpa.
Those who were sent, returning to the house, found that the servant who had been sick was well.
11 Ni veh ri, Yesu tsi hi ni gburi wa bayo ndi Nain. Mri kohma bahe niwu, ndji gbugbu u.
Soon afterwards, he went to a city called Nain. Many of his disciples, along with a great multitude, went with him.
12 A yi kritsa ni gbu, bu ban gburi awuri ri iyinma grji wawu na tsrina, ndji gbugbu ni gbu ba he niwu.
Now when he came near to the gate of the city, behold, one who was dead was carried out, the only born son of his mother, and she was a widow. Many people of the city were with her.
13 Ni toh, Irji alika ni tausayi ma, nda tre niwu ni yi na.
When the Lord saw her, he had compassion on her and said to her, “Do not cry.”
14 Aye nda akwati bi ba akwati ba kukri nda la ivren tsey mi la niwu lunde.
He came near and touched the coffin, and the bearers stood still. He said, “Young man, I tell you, arise!”
15 Ikmo lunde nda sorma tre Yesu ka nu no iyima.
He who was dead sat up and began to speak. Then he gave him to his mother.
16 I sissri vu ba wawu mba, ba omangyiri ni Irji, nda la ba chu annabi ri kikle ma ni mi mbu, i Irji jan ndi ma.
Fear took hold of all, and they glorified God, saying, “A great prophet has arisen among us!” and, “God has visited his people!”
17 Itre Yesu hi kon ni ntsen ni gbu Yahudiya ni gbungblu ba kagon ni wu'a.
This report went out concerning him in the whole of Judea and in all the surrounding region.
18 Mri koh Yohana ba la niwu gbegbeme ikpiyi.
The disciples of John told him about all these things.
19 Yohana yo mri koh mah ha nda ton ba ndu hi ni ndji Yesu. Ba miye u ye? kon akwai ri ki ya konri ye
John, calling to himself two of his disciples, sent them to Jesus, saying, “Are you the one who is coming, or should we look for another?”
20 Baye wiewiere ni ndji ba tre, Yohana wuyi Batisma, aton ta, diki mbye wuyi u ye'a, ko akwai ndji ri wakiyi yakon yema?
When the men had come to him, they said, “John the Baptizer has sent us to you, saying, ‘Are you he who comes, or should we look for another?’”
21 Ni nton ki ndji gbugbu wu ba samu sikpa, iyamba kle, meme ruhu bri ba.
In that hour he cured many of diseases and plagues and evil spirits; and to many who were blind he gave sight.
22 Yesu amsa nda hla bawa, hi ndi hla ni Yohana kpe bi wo, ni kpe bi toh ni hishi mbi. Bi ra shishi baya, bi nkpurju za ba lunde zren, bi kuturu ba kpa ngla kpa, mangbi ton ba wo-tre, biwa ba kyu ba kma lunde ni vri, u biwa ba he nimi wa ba wo tre ndindima.
Jesus answered them, “Go and tell John the things which you have seen and heard: that the blind receive their sight, the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, the deaf hear, the dead are raised up, and the poor have good news preached to them.
23 Indji wa ana ka wo tre mu na nitu bi zren mu a kpa lulu.
Blessed is he who finds no occasion for stumbling in me.”
24 U wa mri koh Yohana ba rju ni hi kpamba, Yesu kma ni hla ni gbugbu ndji ba nitu Yohana, “Ahi ngye bi rju hi ni miji si wa bi toh? Indji biwa vi ngyungyu ni fu yi hlega?
When John’s messengers had departed, he began to tell the multitudes about John, “What did you go out into the wilderness to see? A reed shaken by the wind?
25 U bi rju hi ni wa bi toh ngye yi? Indji wa a sru nklon bi ndindi ma? Yayi, biwa ba sru kpi bi tie nklen u nda ni son ni mi iro ba he ni mi koh ba chu.
But what did you go out to see? A man clothed in soft clothing? Behold, those who are gorgeously dressed and live delicately are in kings’ courts.
26 U bina rju hi ni ra ni wa bi toh ngye? Anabi? E, Mi hla ni yiwu, zan u anabi'a.
But what did you go out to see? A prophet? Yes, I tell you, and much more than a prophet.
27 Wayi a wawu wa ba nha ngame ni wuh. yra mitub manzo gaba niyin, wa shi mle kon teh niyi.
This is he of whom it is written, ‘Behold, I send my messenger before your face, who will prepare your way before you.’
28 Mi hla yiwu, ndi wa mba bagrji, ba wa nda zah Yohana.
“For I tell you, among those who are born of women there is not a greater prophet than John the Baptizer; yet he who is least in God’s Kingdom is greater than he.”
29 Baya ndji gbugbu bawo niki, ni bi kpa nklen gandu ba ya ba kpa Irji a ndindima. Ba biwa Yohana yi Batisma bawu.
When all the people and the tax collectors heard this, they declared God to be just, having been baptized with John’s baptism.
30 Farisawa ni wa ba ton tre zru Yahudawa bawa, ana Yohana yi Batisma ni bawu na, ba na ya nda ni tre lan na.
But the Pharisees and the lawyers rejected the counsel of God, not being baptized by him themselves.
31 Yesu hla ni ge mi hada ndji bi tsara yi? Ba he hi he?
“To what then should I compare the people of this generation? What are they like?
32 Ba he na mri ba tsi ron ni kasuwa, nda ni tre ni kpamba, “Ki nvri injon ni yiwu, u bina nglu na. ki ban je kyu, u bina yi na.
They are like children who sit in the marketplace and call to one another, saying, ‘We piped to you, and you did not dance. We mourned, and you did not weep.’
33 Nakiyi Yohana aye, na ri hla, ana son mah na bi tre ahe ni brji.
For John the Baptizer came neither eating bread nor drinking wine, and you say, ‘He has a demon.’
34 Ivren Ndji ye nda ri nda ni so ibi tre yah, ndji branda so, a kpa bi kpa nklen gandu ni bi lahtre.
The Son of Man has come eating and drinking, and you say, ‘Behold, a glutton and a drunkard, a friend of tax collectors and sinners!’
35 Imri ma wawu ba he ni wayu.
Wisdom is justified by all her children.”
36 Ni viri Bafarisen, ri bre Yesu ye ni koh ma bawu ri. Wa Yesu ri ni koh Bafarisen, a kuson ni tebru nda ri lla.
One of the Pharisees invited him to eat with him. He entered into the Pharisee’s house and sat at the table.
37 Iwa ri lah tre, a rju rji ni mi gbu nda wo Yesu he ni koh Bafarisen, nda ri lla. Nda ye ni ri iyema ni alabasta iyi ri wuwi ma.
Behold, a woman in the city who was a sinner, when she knew that he was reclining in the Pharisee’s house, brought an alabaster jar of ointment.
38 Nda ye kluwei na Yesu nda tsi yi nda jum nza ma ni ma shishi ma nda sezah ma ni nfutu ma a tre kauna ma nimu zah gban zah mu ni turare.
Standing behind at his feet weeping, she began to wet his feet with her tears, and she wiped them with the hair of her head, kissed his feet, and anointed them with the ointment.
39 Bafarisen yo Yesu bi ninkon ma, ato naki nda tre ni suron ma nda ndji yi ana anabi njanji yi ani toh ndi wayi meme iwa, wa si tawu ndji wu lahtre.
Now when the Pharisee who had invited him saw it, he said to himself, “This man, if he were a prophet, would have perceived who and what kind of woman this is who touches him, that she is a sinner.”
40 Yesu kpa nyime nda hla ni wu Siman, mi son hla niwu ikperi, wa tre, hla Malam.
Jesus answered him, “Simon, I have something to tell you.” He said, “Teacher, say on.”
41 Yesu hla ndji ri inu hla niwu ndji ha bari lah kudi niwu, ndji rima sule deri, irima ani hu rima sule hamsi.
“A certain lender had two debtors. The one owed five hundred denarii, and the other fifty.
42 Bana he kudi baya hana igu wruhle bawu, hari mba, iri me nimi mba ani fi son igu?
When they could not pay, he forgave them both. Which of them therefore will love him most?”
43 Siman hla mi ya wa kudi ma bran, Yesu hla niwu, wu hla ndindi.
Simon answered, “He, I suppose, to whom he forgave the most.” He said to him, “You have judged correctly.”
44 Yesu kma hi ni wa'a nda hla ni Siman wu toh wayi, mi ye ni koh me, wu na ne mma wu ngla zah muna, wawu ne, ni mashishi ma a ngla zah mu niwu, nda se zah mu ni nfutu ma.
Turning to the woman, he said to Simon, “Do you see this woman? I entered into your house, and you gave me no water for my feet, but she has wet my feet with her tears, and wiped them with the hair of her head.
45 Iwu u na tsro son nimu na i wawu tie tu wa mi ye ni wa, ana bri mena.
You gave me no kiss, but she, since the time I came in, has not ceased to kiss my feet.
46 Iwu wu na gban nye ni tumu na, a gban izah mu ni nye ni nfutu ma.
You did not anoint my head with oil, but she has anointed my feet with ointment.
47 A he na kiyi wa i lutre ma a bran anu kpa awa bran, nda tsro son wu brama. Wa ba wruhle ni vi fime a suron vi fime kame.
Therefore I tell you, her sins, which are many, are forgiven, for she loved much. But one to whom little is forgiven, loves little.”
48 Baya wayi ala niwu, ba wru la tre me hle niwu.
He said to her, “Your sins are forgiven.”
49 Wa ba son niki, ba son tre kpa-mba, wayi anha wa ani wru lahtre hle?”
Those who sat at the table with him began to say to themselves, “Who is this who even forgives sins?”
50 Yesu hla niwu, isuron ndindima anu ceto me, hi ni si kpa.
He said to the woman, “Your faith has saved you. Go in peace.”
