Luke 7
1 Ni wa Yesu kle trema wa tre shishi ndji nda hi ni Kapanawum.
And when he had finished all these discourses in the audience of the people, Jesus 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 centurion, who was dear to him, was very sick, and near to death.
3 Soja wo labari Yesu nda dru ndji bi ninkon bi Yahudawa, hla dun Irji ye nda warka ni vren koh ma.
And he heard of Jesus, and sent the Elders of the Jews to him, and requested of him that he would come and save 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 earnestly, and said: 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 hath also built us a house of assembly.
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 not far from the house, the centurion sent his friends to him, and said to him: My 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.
therefore I deemed myself not worthy to approach thee myself; but speak the word only, and my young man 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 subjected to authority; and I have soldiers under my command; 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 when Jesus heard these things, he admired him; and he turned, and said to the throng that followed him: I say to you, I have not found faith like this even in Israel.
10 Biwa ba ton ndu ba gbaye ni kon nda ton vren koh ma aha sikpa.
And they that were sent, returned to the house; and they found the servant that had been sick, now well.
11 Ni veh ri, Yesu tsi hi ni gburi wa bayo ndi Nain. Mri kohma bahe niwu, ndji gbugbu u.
And the following day, he went to a city called Nain; and 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 approached the gate of the city, he saw a procession bearing a dead man, the only son of his mother, and she a widow; and a great company of the people of the city were with her.
13 Ni toh, Irji alika ni tausayi ma, nda tre niwu ni yi na.
And Jesus looked upon her, and had compassion on her; and he said to her, Weep not.
14 Aye nda akwati bi ba akwati ba kukri nda la ivren tsey mi la niwu lunde.
And he went, and touched the bier; and they that bore him 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 awe seized all the people; and they glorified God, and said: A great prophet hath arisen 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 that saying respecting him went out through all Judaea and all the surrounding region.
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 John called two of his disciples, and sent them to Jesus, and said: Art thou he that cometh, or shall 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?
And they came to Jesus, and said to him: John the Baptizer hath sent us to thee, and saith: Art thou he that cometh, or shall we look for another?
21 Ni nton ki ndji gbugbu wu ba samu sikpa, iyamba kle, meme ruhu bri ba.
And in that hour he healed many persons of their diseases, and of plagues, and of unclean spirits, and gave sight to many blind persons.
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 replied, and said to them: Go ye, and tell John all that ye have seen and heard; that the blind see, and the lame walk, and the leprous are cleansed, and the deaf hear, and the dead arise, and to the poor good news is proclaimed:
23 Indji wa ana ka wo tre mu na nitu bi zren mu a kpa lulu.
and blessed is he that is not stumbled 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 John's disciples were gone, Jesus began to say to the multitude, concerning John: What went ye into the wilderness to see? a reed agitated 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.
Or if not; what went ye out to see? a man clad in soft raiment? Lo, they that use splendid garments and luxuries, 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.
Or if not; what went ye out to see? a prophet? Yea, say I 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.
For this is he, of whom it is written: Behold I send my messenger before thy face, to prepare thy way before thee.
28 Mi hla yiwu, ndi wa mba bagrji, ba wa nda zah Yohana.
I say to you, that no prophet, among those born of women, was greater than John the Baptizer: and yet the little one 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 that heard him, justified God, as they had 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 Scribes rejected the good pleasure of God, against themselves; as they were not baptized by him.
31 Yesu hla ni ge mi hada ndji bi tsara yi? Ba he hi he?
To what, therefore, shall I compare 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 children, that sit in the market-place, and call to their fellows and say: We have piped to you, and ye did not dance; we have howled to you, and ye did not weep.
33 Nakiyi Yohana aye, na ri hla, ana son mah na bi tre ahe ni brji.
For John the Baptizer came, not eating bread, and not 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 came, eating and drinking; and ye say: Behold, a gluttonous man, and a wine drinker, and one fond of publicans and sinners.
35 Imri ma wawu ba he ni wayu.
But 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.
And one of the Pharisees came, and asked him to eat with him. And he entered the house of the Pharisee, and reclined.
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 there was a woman in the city, who was a sinner; and when she learned that he reclined in the Pharisee's house, she took an alabaster box of perfume,
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 stood behind him, at his feet, and wept; and she began to bathe his feet with her tears, and to wipe them with the hair of her head; and she kissed his feet, and anointed them with the perfume.
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 that invited him, saw it, he thought within himself, and said: If this man were a prophet, he would know who she is, and what is her reputation; for the woman that toucheth him, is a sinner.
40 Yesu kpa nyime nda hla ni wu Siman, mi son hla niwu ikperi, wa tre, hla Malam.
And Jesus answered, and said to him: Simon, I have something to say to thee. He said to him: Say it, Rabbi. Jesus said to him:
41 Yesu hla ndji ri inu hla niwu ndji ha bari lah kudi niwu, ndji rima sule deri, irima ani hu rima sule hamsi.
There were two debtors to a certain creditor; the one owed him five hundred denarii, and the other fifty denarii.
42 Bana he kudi baya hana igu wruhle bawu, hari mba, iri me nimi mba ani fi son igu?
And as they had not the means of pay, he released 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 replied, and said: I suppose he to whom most was released. Jesus said to him: Thou hast 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.
And he turned to the woman, and said to Simon: Seest thou this woman? I entered thy house, and thou gavest me no water for my feet; but she hath bathed my feet with her 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.
Thou gavest me no kiss; but this woman, since she came in, hath not ceased to kiss my feet.
46 Iwu wu na gban nye ni tumu na, a gban izah mu ni nye ni nfutu ma.
Thou didst not anoint my head with perfume; but she hath anointed my feet with perfumed 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.
I therefore say to thee: Her many sins are forgiven her, for she loveth 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 the woman: Thy sins are forgiven thee.
49 Wa ba son niki, ba son tre kpa-mba, wayi anha wa ani wru lahtre hle?”
And they that were reclining, began to say in themselves: Who is this, that even forgiveth sins?
50 Yesu hla niwu, isuron ndindima anu ceto me, hi ni si kpa.
And Jesus said to the woman: Thy faith hath given thee life. Go, in peace.
