Luke 7
1 Ni wa Yesu kle trema wa tre shishi ndji nda hi ni Kapanawum.
After Jesus had finished everything he was saying 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.
Now a centurion had a slave who was highly regarded by him, and he 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.
When the centurion heard about Jesus, he sent to him elders of the Jews, asking him to come and heal his servant.
4 Baya wa bu ye ni Yesu ndu bra tsutsi na tre ayi tsa du tie wayi ni wu.
When they had come to Jesus, they asked him earnestly, saying, “He is worthy to have you do this for him,
5 Ani son gbugbo, wawu yi men Choch nita wu.
because he loves our nation, and he is the one who 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.
So Jesus continued on his way with them. But when he was not far from the house, the centurion sent friends to say to him, “Lord, do not trouble yourself, because 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.
For this reason I did not even consider myself worthy to come to you, but just say a 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 who is under authority, with soldiers under me. I say to this one, 'Go,' and he goes, and to another one, '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 this, he was amazed at him, and turning to the crowd following him said, “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.
When those who had been sent returned to the house, they found the servant was well.
11 Ni veh ri, Yesu tsi hi ni gburi wa bayo ndi Nain. Mri kohma bahe niwu, ndji gbugbu u.
Soon after that, Jesus went to a town called Nain, and his disciples and a great crowd 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.
As he came near to the gate of the town, behold, a man who had died was being carried out, the only son of his mother (who was a widow), and a rather large crowd from the town was with her.
13 Ni toh, Irji alika ni tausayi ma, nda tre niwu ni yi na.
When the Lord saw her, he was deeply moved with compassion for 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.
Then he went up and touched the wooden frame on which they carried the body, and those carrying it stood still. He said, “Young man, I say to you, arise.”
15 Ikmo lunde nda sorma tre Yesu ka nu no iyima.
The dead man sat up and began to speak, and Jesus 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.
Then fear overcame all of them, and they kept praising God, saying, “A great prophet has been raised among us” and “God has looked upon his people.”
17 Itre Yesu hi kon ni ntsen ni gbu Yahudiya ni gbungblu ba kagon ni wu'a.
This news about Jesus spread throughout the whole of Judea and all the neighboring regions.
18 Mri koh Yohana ba la niwu gbegbeme ikpiyi.
John's disciples 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
Then John called two of his disciples and sent them to the Lord to say, “Are you the one who is to come, 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 they had come near to Jesus, the men said, “John the Baptist has sent us to you to say, 'Are you the one who is coming, 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 healed many people from sicknesses and afflictions and from evil spirits, and to many blind people 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 and said to them, “After you have gone on your way, report to John what you have seen and heard. Blind people are receiving sight, lame people are walking, lepers are being cleansed, deaf people are hearing, people who have died are being raised back to life, and needy people are being told the good news.
23 Indji wa ana ka wo tre mu na nitu bi zren mu a kpa lulu.
The person who does not stop believing in me because of my actions is blessed.”
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?
After John's messengers had gone away, Jesus began to say to the crowds about John, “What did you go out into the desert 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 dressed in soft clothes? Look, those who wear expensive clothing and who live in luxury 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 did you go out to see? A prophet? Yes, 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, 'See, I am sending 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.
I say to you, among those born of women none is greater than John. Yet the one who is least in the kingdom of God is greater than he is.”
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 heard this, including the tax collectors, they declared that God is righteous, because they had been 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 experts in Jewish law rejected God's purpose for themselves, because they had not been baptized by John.)
31 Yesu hla ni ge mi hada ndji bi tsara yi? Ba he hi he?
“To what, then, can 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 playing in the marketplace, who sit and call to one another and say, 'We played a flute for you, and you did not dance. We sang a funeral song, and you did not cry.'
33 Nakiyi Yohana aye, na ri hla, ana son mah na bi tre ahe ni brji.
For John the Baptist came eating no bread and drinking no 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 came eating and drinking, and you say, 'Look, he is a gluttonous man and a drunkard, a friend of tax collectors 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.
Now one of the Pharisees invited Jesus to eat with him. So after Jesus entered into the Pharisee's house, he reclined at the table to eat.
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, there was a woman in the city who was a sinner. When she found out that he was reclining at the table in the Pharisee's house, she brought an alabaster jar of perfumed oil.
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.
As she stood behind him near his feet, weeping, she began to wet his feet with her tears, and she wiped them with the hair of her head and kissed his feet and anointed them with perfumed oil.
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.
When the Pharisee who had invited Jesus saw this, he thought to himself, saying, “If this man were a prophet, then he would know who and what type of woman is touching 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 responded and said to him, “Simon, I have something to say to you.” He said, “Say it, Teacher!”
41 Yesu hla ndji ri inu hla niwu ndji ha bari lah kudi niwu, ndji rima sule deri, irima ani hu rima sule hamsi.
Jesus said, “A certain moneylender 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 him, he forgave them both. Therefore, which of them will love him more?”
43 Siman hla mi ya wa kudi ma bran, Yesu hla niwu, wu hla ndindi.
Simon answered him and said, “I suppose the one whom he forgave the most.” Jesus 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.
Jesus turned to the woman and said to Simon, “You see this woman. I have entered into your house. You gave me no water for my feet, but she has wet 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.
You did not give me a kiss, but from the time I came in she did not stop kissing 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 perfumed oil.
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 say to you, her sins, which were many, have been forgiven—for she loved much. But the one who is forgiven little, loves little.”
48 Baya wayi ala niwu, ba wru la tre me hle niwu.
Then 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 reclining together began to say among themselves, “Who is this that even forgives sins?”
50 Yesu hla niwu, isuron ndindima anu ceto me, hi ni si kpa.
Then Jesus said to the woman, “Your faith has saved you. Go in peace.”
