Luke 7
1 Ni wa Yesu kle trema wa tre shishi ndji nda hi ni Kapanawum.
NOW after he had finished all these sayings in the ears 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.
And the servant of a certain centurion, who was very valuable to him, being seized with an illness, was ready to die.
3 Soja wo labari Yesu nda dru ndji bi ninkon bi Yahudawa, hla dun Irji ye nda warka ni vren koh ma.
But when he heard of Jesus, he sent unto him the elders of the Jews, entreating him that he would come and preserve the life of his servant.
4 Baya wa bu ye ni Yesu ndu bra tsutsi na tre ayi tsa du tie wayi ni wu.
And when they came to Jesus, they entreated him importunately, saying, He is a worthy man on whom thou wilt confer this favour:
5 Ani son gbugbo, wawu yi men Choch nita wu.
for he loveth our nation, and hath himself built us a synagogue.
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.
Then Jesus went with them. And when he was now not far from the house, the centurion dispatched towards him friends, saying to him, Lord, trouble not thyself: for I am not deserving that thou shouldest enter beneath 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 neither did I think myself worthy to come unto thee, but speak in a word, and my servant will be cured.
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 under authority, and have under my command soldiers; and I say to this man, Go, and he goeth; and to another, Come hither, and he cometh; and to my servant, Do this, and he doeth 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.
Then Jesus, on hearing these things, respected him highly, and turning to the multitude which was following him, he said, I tell you, I have not found such faith, even in Israel.
10 Biwa ba ton ndu ba gbaye ni kon nda ton vren koh ma aha sikpa.
And they who were sent, on their return to the house, found the servant who was sick in perfect health.
11 Ni veh ri, Yesu tsi hi ni gburi wa bayo ndi Nain. Mri kohma bahe niwu, ndji gbugbu u.
And it came to pass the next day, that he went into a city called Nain; and a considerable number of his disciples went with him, and a vast multitude.
12 A yi kritsa ni gbu, bu ban gburi awuri ri iyinma grji wawu na tsrina, ndji gbugbu ni gbu ba he niwu.
And as he drew near the gate of the city, behold, a dead man was carrying out, an only son to his mother, and she a widow; and a great concourse of the city was with her.
13 Ni toh, Irji alika ni tausayi ma, nda tre niwu ni yi na.
And when Jesus saw her, he was moved with compassion for her, and said unto her, Weep not.
14 Aye nda akwati bi ba akwati ba kukri nda la ivren tsey mi la niwu lunde.
And approaching, he touched the bier: and the bearers stood still; and he said, Young man, I say to thee, Arise.
15 Ikmo lunde nda sorma tre Yesu ka nu no iyima.
And the dead man sat up, and began to speak: and he delivered 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.
And fear fell on all, and they glorified God, saying, That a great prophet is risen up among us, and that God hath looked down with mercy on his people.
17 Itre Yesu hi kon ni ntsen ni gbu Yahudiya ni gbungblu ba kagon ni wu'a.
And this account respecting him went abroad through all Judea, and all the region adjacent.
18 Mri koh Yohana ba la niwu gbegbeme ikpiyi.
And his disciples informed John of 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
And John calling two certain persons of his disciples, sent them to Jesus, saying, Art thou he that cometh, or are we to expect 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?
Then the men came to him, saying, John Baptist hath sent us unto thee, saying, Art thou he that cometh, or are we to expect another?
21 Ni nton ki ndji gbugbu wu ba samu sikpa, iyamba kle, meme ruhu bri ba.
And in that very hour he cured many of diseases and acute complaints, and evil spirits; and to many blind persons 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.
And Jesus addressing them, said, Go, tell John what things ye have seen and heard: that the blind recover sight, the deaf hear, the dead are raised, the poor have the gospel preached unto them.
23 Indji wa ana ka wo tre mu na nitu bi zren mu a kpa lulu.
And blessed is he, whosoever shall not be offended at 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?
Now when John’s messengers were departed, he began to speak to the people concerning John, What went ye out into the wilderness to see? A reed shaken with 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 went ye out to see? A man clothed in delicate garments? Behold, they who indulge in soft raiment, and delicate food, are in king’s palaces.
26 U bina rju hi ni ra ni wa bi toh ngye? Anabi? E, Mi hla ni yiwu, zan u anabi'a.
But what went ye out to see? A prophet? Yea, I say unto you, and 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.
For this is he of whom it is written, Behold, I send my messenger before thy face, who shall prepare thy way before thee.
28 Mi hla yiwu, ndi wa mba bagrji, ba wa nda zah Yohana.
For I tell you, of those born from woman, there is not a greater prophet than John the Baptist: but he that is least in the kingdom of heaven, 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.
And all the people when they heard it, and the publicans, glorified God, being baptised with the baptism of John.
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 teachers of the law rejected the counsel of God towards themselves, not being baptised by him.
31 Yesu hla ni ge mi hada ndji bi tsara yi? Ba he hi he?
And the Lord said, To what then shall I compare the men of this generation? and to 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 to children sitting in the markets, and calling to each other, and saying, We have played the flute to you, and ye have not danced; we have raised the cry of mourning, and ye have not wept.
33 Nakiyi Yohana aye, na ri hla, ana son mah na bi tre ahe ni brji.
For John the Baptist came neither eating bread, nor drinking wine; and ye say, He hath a devil.
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 is come eating and drinking, and ye say, A gluttonous man, and a winebibber, a friend of publicans and sinners!
35 Imri ma wawu ba he ni wayu.
though wisdom hath been justified by 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.
Then one of the Pharisees invited him to eat with him. And he went into the Pharisee’s house, and sat down to 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.
And, behold, a certain woman in the city, who was a notorious offender, when she knew that Jesus was sitting at table in the Pharisee’s house, brought an alabaster vessel of odoriferous balm,
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.
and standing at his feet behind him, began to water his feet with her tears, and to wipe them with the hair of her head, and kissed his feet, and anointed them with the perfumed balm.
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.
And when the Pharisee who had invited him saw it, he said within himself, If this man were a prophet, he would know who and what kind of a woman this is that toucheth him; for she is a notorious sinner.
40 Yesu kpa nyime nda hla ni wu Siman, mi son hla niwu ikperi, wa tre, hla Malam.
And Jesus addressing himself to him said, Simon, I have somewhat to say to thee. And he said, Master, speak freely.
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 creditor 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?
But having nothing to pay, he forgave them both. Tell me, which of these, then, will love him most?
43 Siman hla mi ya wa kudi ma bran, Yesu hla niwu, wu hla ndindi.
And Simon answering said, I suppose, he to whom he forgave most. And he said unto him, Thou hast judged rightly.
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.
So turning to the woman, he said to Simon, Thou seest this woman? I came into thine house, even water for my feet thou gavest not; but she hath washed my feet with her tears, and wiped them with the hairs of her head.
45 Iwu u na tsro son nimu na i wawu tie tu wa mi ye ni wa, ana bri mena.
One kiss hast thou not given me, but she from the time she hath come in, hath not ceased tenderly to kiss my feet.
46 Iwu wu na gban nye ni tumu na, a gban izah mu ni nye ni nfutu ma.
My head with oil thou hast not anointed; but she hath anointed my feet with odoriferous balm.
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.
For which cause, I tell thee, her many sins are forgiven, for she hath loved much: but to whom a little is forgiven, he loveth little.
48 Baya wayi ala niwu, ba wru la tre me hle niwu.
And he said to her, Thy sins are forgiven.
49 Wa ba son niki, ba son tre kpa-mba, wayi anha wa ani wru lahtre hle?”
And they who sat at table with him began to say in themselves, Who is this, who even forgives sins?
50 Yesu hla niwu, isuron ndindima anu ceto me, hi ni si kpa.
But he said unto the woman, Thy faith hath saved thee; go in peace.
