Luke 7
1 Ni wa Yesu kle trema wa tre shishi ndji nda hi ni Kapanawum.
When he had ended all his discourse in the hearing of the people, he entered 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 a certain centurion's servant, who was dear to him, was sick, and about to die.
3 Soja wo labari Yesu nda dru ndji bi ninkon bi Yahudawa, hla dun Irji ye nda warka ni vren koh ma.
And having heard about Jesus, he sent to him elders of the Jews, and besought 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.
And they came to Jesus, and besought him earnestly, saying, He is worthy that thou shouldst do this for him;
5 Ani son gbugbo, wawu yi men Choch nita wu.
for he loveth our nation, and himself built the 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.
And Jesus went with them. And when he was now not far from the house, the centurion sent friends, saying, Lord, trouble not thyself; for I am not worthy that thou shouldst 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.
on which account I did not think myself worthy to come to thee; but command with a word, and let my servant 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 even I am a man set under authority, having soldiers under me; and I say to this one, Go, and he goeth; and to another, Come, 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.
And Jesus hearing this, wondered at him; and turning round said to the multitude that followed him, I say to you, Not even in Israel have I found such faith.
10 Biwa ba ton ndu ba gbaye ni kon nda ton vren koh ma aha sikpa.
And they who were sent, returning to the house, found the servant well.
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 day after, that he was going to a city called Nain; and many of his disciples were with him, and a great 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 came near the gate of the city, lo! there was carried out dead an only son of his mother, and she was a widow; and a great multitude from the city was with her.
13 Ni toh, Irji alika ni tausayi ma, nda tre niwu ni yi na.
And when the Lord saw her, he was moved with compassion for her, and said to her, Weep not.
14 Aye nda akwati bi ba akwati ba kukri nda la ivren tsey mi la niwu lunde.
And he came up, and touched the bier; and they who bore it stood still; and he said, Young man, I say to thee, Rise.
15 Ikmo lunde nda sorma tre Yesu ka nu no iyima.
And he that was dead sat up and began to speak; and 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.
And fear seized on all, and they gave glory to God, saying, A great prophet hath risen up among us; and, God hath visited his people.
17 Itre Yesu hi kon ni ntsen ni gbu Yahudiya ni gbungblu ba kagon ni wu'a.
And this report about him went forth in all Judaea, and in all the neighboring country.
18 Mri koh Yohana ba la niwu gbegbeme ikpiyi.
And the disciples of John told him 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 calling to him two of his disciples, John sent them to the Lord, saying, Art thou he that is to come, or are we to 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?
And the men came to him and said, John the Baptist hath sent us to thee, saying, Art thou he that is to come, or are we to 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.
And he answered and said to them, Go and tell John what ye have seen and heard; that the blind receive sight, the lame walk, lepers are cleansed, the deaf hear, the dead are raised, to the poor good tidings are brought;
23 Indji wa ana ka wo tre mu na nitu bi zren mu a kpa lulu.
and blessed is he, whoever shall find no occasion of 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?
And when the messengers of John had departed, he began to say to the multitudes concerning John, What have ye gone out into the wilderness to see? the reeds 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 have ye gone out to see? a man clothed in soft raiment? Lo! they who wear gorgeous apparel, and live luxuriously, are in kings' 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 have ye gone out to see? A prophet? Yea, I say to 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.
This is he of whom it is written, “Lo! 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.
I say to you, Among those born of women there is no greater prophet than John; but he that is least in the kingdom of God 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 him, and the publicans, acknowledged God as righteous by being baptized 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 the lawyers rejected the purpose of God toward themselves, not being baptized by him.
31 Yesu hla ni ge mi hada ndji bi tsara yi? Ba he hi he?
To what then shall I compare the men of this generation, and 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 sitting in the market-place, and calling one to another, saying, We piped to you, and ye did not dance; we sung a dirge, and ye did not weep.
33 Nakiyi Yohana aye, na ri hla, ana son mah na bi tre ahe ni brji.
For John the Baptist hath come not eating bread, nor drinking wine; and ye say, He hath 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 hath come eating and drinking; and ye say, Behold, a glutton and a wine-bibber, a friend of publicans and sinners!
35 Imri ma wawu ba he ni wayu.
But wisdom is acknowledged 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.
And one of the Pharisees asked him to eat with him; and he went into the Pharisee's house, and reclined 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.
And lo! a woman who was in the city, a sinner, learning that he was at table in the Pharisee's house, brought an alabaster-bottle 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.
and standing behind at his feet, weeping, began to wet his feet with tears, and wiped them with the hair of her head, and 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.
And the Pharisee who had invited him, when he saw this, said within himself, This man, if he were a prophet, would know who, and what sort of woman, this is that toucheth him; for she is a sinner.
40 Yesu kpa nyime nda hla ni wu Siman, mi son hla niwu ikperi, wa tre, hla Malam.
And Jesus answering said to him, Simon, I have somewhat to say to thee. And he saith, 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 money-lender had two debtors; one owed five hundred denaries, 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 had nothing to pay, he freely remitted the debt of both. Which of them, now, will love him the most?
43 Siman hla mi ya wa kudi ma bran, Yesu hla niwu, wu hla ndindi.
Simon answering said, He, I suppose, to whom he remitted the most. And he said to 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.
And turning to the woman, he said to Simon, Seest thou this woman? I entered thy house, no water didst thou give me for my feet; but she wet my feet with tears, and wiped them with her hair.
45 Iwu u na tsro son nimu na i wawu tie tu wa mi ye ni wa, ana bri mena.
No kiss didst thou give me; but she, from the time I came in, did not cease 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 didst not anoint; but she anointed my feet with costly 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.
Wherefore, I say to thee, her many sins have been forgiven; for she loved much; but he to whom little is forgiven loveth little.
48 Baya wayi ala niwu, ba wru la tre me hle niwu.
And he said to her, Thy sins have been forgiven.
49 Wa ba son niki, ba son tre kpa-mba, wayi anha wa ani wru lahtre hle?”
And those who were at table with him began to say within themselves, Who is this that even forgiveth sins?
50 Yesu hla niwu, isuron ndindima anu ceto me, hi ni si kpa.
But he said to the woman, Thy faith hath saved thee; go in peace.
