Luke 13
1 Now some were present at the same time who informed him about the Galileans whose blood Pilate mingled with their sacrifices.
Mgbe ahụ, ụfọdụ ndị nọ nʼebe ahụ gwara ya banyere ndị Galili ahụ Pailet jiri ọbara ha gwakọta nʼaja ha chụrụ.
2 And having answered, Jesus said to them, Do ye suppose that these Galileans became sinful above all the Galileans because they have suffered such things?
Ọ zara sị ha, “Unu chere na ndị Galili a tara ụdị ahụhụ a bụ ndị mmehie karịa ndị Galili niile?
3 I tell you, no, but if ye do not repent, ye will all perish similarly.
Mba! Asị m unu, ọ bụrụ na unu echegharịghị, unu niile ga-esi otu ahụ laa nʼiyi.
4 Or those eighteen upon whom the tower in Siloam fell and killed them. Do ye think that these became debtors above all the men who dwell in Jerusalem?
Ka unu chere na mmadụ iri na asatọ ahụ, ndị mgbidi aja ụlọ elu Sailọm dagburu bụ ndị ikpe mmehie mara karịa ndị niile bi na Jerusalem?
5 I tell you, no, but if ye do not repent, ye will all likewise perish.
Mba! Asị m unu, ọ bụrụ na unu echegharịghị, unu niile ga-ala nʼiyi dị ka ha.”
6 And he spoke this parable. A certain man had a fig tree planted in his vineyard, and he came seeking fruit on it, and found none.
Ya mere, ọ tụụrụ ha ilu a sị, “Otu nwoke kụrụ osisi fiig nʼubi vaịnị ya, ma mgbe ọ bịara chọọ nʼelu ya, ma ọ hụghị mkpụrụ ọbụla.
7 And he said to the vine workman, Behold, three years I come seeking fruit on this fig tree, and find none. Cut it down, why also waste the ground?
Ya mere, ọ gwara onye ọrụ ubi ya sị, ‘Nʼime afọ atọ ndị a ka m bịara ka m ghọrọ mkpụrụ site nʼosisi fiig a, ma ahụghị m mkpụrụ ọbụla. Gbutuo ya! Gịnị mere ọ ga-eji na-erikọ nri dị nʼala ubi a?’
8 And having answered, he says to him, Sir, allow it this year also until I may dig around it and cast manure.
“Ọ zara sị ya, ‘Nna m ukwu, hapụkwa ya nʼafọ a, ka m gwuo ala gburugburu, hinye ya aja nri ala nʼukwu.
9 Although surely it should bear fruit, and if not, in the coming year thou will cut it down.
Ọ bụrụ na ọ mịa mkpụrụ nʼafọ ọzọ, ọ dị mma, ọ bụrụkwa na ọ mịghị, i nwere ike gbutuo ya.’”
10 And he was teaching in one of the synagogues on the sabbath day.
Nʼụbọchị izuike ndị Juu, ọ banyere nʼime otu ụlọ ekpere na-ezi ihe.
11 And behold, there was a woman who had a spirit of infirmity eighteen years. And she was bent over, and not being able to straighten up completely.
Otu nwanyị nọkwa nʼebe ahụ, onye mmụọ nrịa nrịa mere ka ahụ ghara ị dị ya ike afọ iri na asatọ. Ọ na-ehu ehu, o nwekwaghị ike iguzo ọtọ kwem.
12 And when Jesus saw her, he called out, and said to her, Woman, thou are loosed from thine infirmity.
Mgbe Jisọs hụrụ ya, ọ kpọrọ ya sị ya, “Nwanyị emeela ka i nwere onwe gị site nʼọrịa gị.”
13 And he laid his hands upon her, and immediately she was made straight, and glorified God.
Mgbe o bikwasịrị ya aka, ngwangwa, o guzooro kwem malite na-eto Chineke.
14 And having responded, the synagogue-ruler, being indignant because Jesus healed on the sabbath, answered and said to the multitude, There are six days in which he ought to work. Therefore coming in these, be healed, and not on the day of the sabbath.
Ma onyendu ụlọ ekpere ahụ were iwe nke ukwuu nʼihi na Jisọs gwọrọ ọrịa nʼụbọchị izuike. Ọ gwara igwe mmadụ ahụ okwu sị, “E nwere ụbọchị isii nʼime izu ụka mgbe mmadụ kwesiri ịrụ ọrụ. Ya mere, bịanụ ka a gwọọ unu nʼụbọchị ndị a, ọ bụghị nʼụbọchị izuike.”
15 But the Lord therefore answered him and said, Ye hypocrites, does not each of you on the sabbath loose his ox or his donkey from the stall, and after leading away, give to drink?
Ma Onyenwe anyị zara ya sị, “Unu ndị ihu abụọ! Ọ dị onye nʼime unu na-adịghị atọpụ oke ehi ya maọbụ ịnyịnya ibu ya, site nʼụlọ anụmanụ, kpụpụ ya ebe ọ ga-aṅụ mmiri nʼụbọchị izuike?
16 And ought not this woman, being a daughter of Abraham whom Satan has bound, lo, eighteen years, be loosed from this bond on the day of the sabbath?
O kwesighị ka a tọpụ nwanyị a bụ ada Ebraham nʼagbụ ekwensu kere ya ogologo afọ iri na asatọ, nʼụbọchị izuike, mee ka o nwere onwe ya?”
17 And as he said these things all those opposing him were shamed, and all the multitude rejoiced for all the glorious things that were done by him.
Mgbe o kwuru nke a, ihere mere ndị iro ya niile, ma ndị mmadụ nọ nʼebe ahụ ṅụrịrị ọṅụ nʼihi ọrụ ebube niile ọ na-arụ.
18 And he said, What is the kingdom of God like, and to what will I compare it?
Ya mere, ọ na-ekwu sị, “Gịnị ka alaeze Chineke yiri? Gịnịkwa ka m ga-eji tụnyere ya?
19 It is like a grain of a mustard plant, which having taken, a man cast into his own garden. And it grew and developed into a great tree, and the birds of the sky lodged in the branches if it.
O yiri mkpụrụ mọstaadị nke mmadụ kụrụ nʼubi ya a gbara ogige. O toro ghọọ osisi, nke ụmụ nnụnụ na-ezukwa ike nʼalaka ya.”
20 And again he said, To what will I compare the kingdom of God?
Ọzọ, ọ sịrị, “Gịnị ka m ga-eji tụnyere alaeze Chineke?
21 It is like leaven that a woman having taken, hid in three measures of meal, until the whole was leavened.
Ọ dị ka ihe na-eko achịchanke nwanyị gwakọtara na ọtụtụ atọ nke ụtụ ọka, tutu ruo mgbe o koro ụtụ ọka ahụ niile.”
22 And he went through by cities and villages, teaching, and making a journey toward Jerusalem.
O jegharịrị nʼobodo ukwu na nʼobodo nta niile na-ezi ihe, ka ọ na-aga Jerusalem.
23 And a certain man said to him, Lord, are they few who are being saved? And he said to them,
Otu onye sịrị ya, “Onyenwe m, ndị a ga-azọpụta ha ga-adị ole na ole?” Ọ sịrị ha,
24 Compete to enter in by the narrow gate, because many, I say to you, will seek to enter in, and will not be able.
“Gbalịsienụ ike banye site nʼọnụ ụzọ dị warawara, nʼihi na ana m a gwa unu na ọtụtụ ga-achọ ịbanye ma ha agaghị enwe ike.
25 From the time the house-ruler has risen up, and has closed the door, and ye begin to stand outside, and to knock the door, saying, Lord, Lord, open to us, and having answered, he will say to you, I know not where ye are from,
Ọ bụrụ na nna nwe ụlọ ebilie mechie ọnụ ụzọ, unu ga-eguzo na-ezi na-akụ aka nʼụzọ na-asị, ‘Onyenwe anyị meghere anyị ụzọ.’ “Na nzaghachi, ọ ga-asị, ‘Amaghị m ebe unu si bịa.’
26 then ye will begin to say, We ate and drank in thy presence, and thou taught in our thoroughfares.
“Nʼoge ahụ, unu ga-asị, ‘Anyị na gị rikọrọ, ṅụkọkwaa, ị kuzikwara nkuzi nʼogbe anyị.’
27 And he will say, I tell you, I know not where ye are from. Depart from me, all ye workmen of unrighteousness.
“Ma ọ ga-asị, ‘Amaghị m ebe unu siri bịa. Pụọnụ nʼihu m, unu ndị ajọ omume.’
28 There will be the weeping and the gnashing of teeth, when ye will see Abraham and Isaac and Jacob and all the prophets in the kingdom of God, and you being thrust out.
“Ịkwa akwa na ịta ikikere eze ga-adịkwa mgbe unu ga-ahụ Ebraham, na Aịzik na Jekọb na ndị amụma niile ka ha nọ nʼalaeze Chineke; ma unu onwe unu abụrụ ndị a chụpụrụ nʼezi.
29 And they will arrive from the east and west, and from the north and south, and will sit down in the kingdom of God.
Ndị mmadụ ga-esite nʼọwụwa anyanwụ, nakwa ọdịda anyanwụ, na nʼugwu na ndịda nke ụwa bịa nọdụ nʼoriri nʼime alaeze Chineke.
30 And behold, there are last who will be first, and there are first who will be last.
Ma lee, ndị bu ụzọ ga-aghọ ndị ikpeazụ, ma ndị ikpeazụ ga-aghọ ndị bu ụzọ.”
31 In the same day some Pharisees came, saying to him, Get thee out and depart from here, because Herod wants to kill thee.
Nʼoge awa ahụ, ụfọdụ ndị Farisii bịakwutere ya sị ya, “Si nʼebe a pụọ, nʼihi na Herọd na-achọ igbu gị.”
32 And he said to them, Having gone, say to this fox, Behold, I cast out demons and finish cures today and tomorrow, and the third day I am fully perfected.
Ọ sịrị ha, “Gaa gwaranụ m nkịta ọhịa ahụ, lee, ana m achụpụ mmụọ ọjọọ, gwọọkwa ndị ọrịa taa na echi, ma nʼụbọchị nke atọ ka m ga-arụcha ọrụ m.
33 Nevertheless it is necessary for me to go today and tomorrow and the following, because it is not possible for a prophet to perish outside of Jerusalem.
Ma otu ọ dị, aga m aga nʼihu nʼụzọ m taa, na echi na nwanne echi, nʼihi na nʼezie, ọ dịghị onye amụma ga-anwụ nʼebe ọzọ na-abụghị na Jerusalem.
34 O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, that kills the prophets, and stones those who are sent to her. How often I wanted to gather thy children together as a hen does her brood under her wings, and ye would not.
“O Jerusalem! Jerusalem! Gị onye na-egbu ndị amụma ma na-ejikwa nkume atụgbu ndị e ziteere gị. Ọtụtụ mgbe ka m gbalịrị ịchịkọta ụmụ gị dị ka nne ọkụkụ sị achịkọta ụmụ ya nʼokpuru nku ya, ma unu ekweghị.
35 Behold, your house is left to you desolate. And I say to you, that ye will, no, not see me, until it will come when ye say, Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord.
Lee, a hapụrụla unu ụlọ unu. Ma agwa m unu, unu agaghị ahụ m anya ọzọ ruo mgbe oge ahụ ga-abịa, mgbe unu ga-asị, ‘Onye a gọziri agọzi ka onye ahụ bụ nke na-abịa nʼaha Onyenwe anyị.’”
