< Luke 6 >
1 Now on the second Sabbath after the first, he was going through the grain fields. His disciples plucked the heads of grain and ate, rubbing them in their hands.
Nʼotu ụbọchị izuike, mgbe Jisọs na-agafe nʼubi a kụrụ ọka. Ndị na-eso ụzọ ya malitere ịghọrọ ụfọdụ nʼime ogbe ọka ndị ahụ, na-amazu ha nʼaka, ma na-ata ha.
2 But some of the Pharisees said to them, “Why do you do that which is not lawful to do on the Sabbath day?”
Ụfọdụ ndị Farisii sịrị, “Gịnị mere unu ji na-eme ihe megidere iwu nʼụbọchị izuike?”
3 Jesus, answering them, said, “Have not you read what David did when he was hungry, he and those who were with him,
Jisọs zara ha sị, “Ọ bụ na unu agụtaghị ihe Devid mere mgbe agụụ gụrụ ya na ndị so ya?
4 how he entered into God’s house, and took and ate the show bread, and gave also to those who were with him, which is not lawful to eat except for the priests alone?”
Otu o si banye nʼụlọ Chineke, were achịcha a na-eche nʼihu ya, nyetụkwa ndị ya na ha so, achịcha nke onye ọbụla na-ekwesighị ịta ma ọ bụghị naanị ndị nchụaja.”
5 He said to them, “The Son of Man is lord of the Sabbath.”
Mgbe ahụ ọ gwara ha sị, “Nwa nke Mmadụ bụ Onyenwe Ụbọchị Izuike.”
6 It also happened on another Sabbath that he entered into the synagogue and taught. There was a man there, and his right hand was withered.
Nʼụbọchị izuike ọzọ, ọ banyere nʼụlọ ekpere na-ezi ihe. Otu nwoke nọkwa nʼebe ahụ onye aka nri ya kpọnwụrụ akpọnwụ.
7 The scribes and the Pharisees watched him, to see whether he would heal on the Sabbath, that they might find an accusation against him.
Ndị Farisii na ndị ode akwụkwọ na-achọ ụzọ ha ga-esi boo ya ebubo, ya mere ha lekwasịrị ya anya ịhụ ma ọ ga-agwọ ọrịa nʼụbọchị izuike.
8 But he knew their thoughts; and he said to the man who had the withered hand, “Rise up and stand in the middle.” He arose and stood.
Ma ebe ọ maara ihe ha na-ezube nʼobi ha, ọ kpọrọ nwoke ahụ nke aka ya kpọnwụrụ akpọnwụ sị ya, “Bilie bịa guzoro nʼetiti ebe a.” Nwoke ahụ pụtara bịa guzoro ebe ahụ.
9 Then Jesus said to them, “I will ask you something: Is it lawful on the Sabbath to do good, or to do harm? To save a life, or to kill?”
Mgbe ahụ Jisọs sịrị ha, “Ka m jụọ unu, gịnị ziri ezi nʼiwu ime nʼụbọchị izuike; ọ bụ ime ihe ọma ka ọ bụ ime ihe ọjọọ; ịzọpụta ndụ ka ọ bụ ịla ndụ nʼiyi?”
10 He looked around at them all, and said to the man, “Stretch out your hand.” He did, and his hand was restored as sound as the other.
Mgbe o lesiri ha niile anya gburugburu, ọ sịrị ya, “Setịpụ aka gị.” O mere nke a, aka ya dịkwara mma ọzọ.
11 But they were filled with rage, and talked with one another about what they might do to Jesus.
Ha were iwe nke ukwuu ma malite na-ekwurịtara nʼetiti onwe ha ihe ha nwere ike ime Jisọs.
12 In these days, he went out to the mountain to pray, and he continued all night in prayer to God.
Nʼụbọchị ndị ahụ, ọ gara rigoro nʼelu ugwu ikpe ekpere. Ọ nọrọ abalị ahụ niile na-ekpe ekpere nye Chineke.
13 When it was day, he called his disciples, and from them he chose twelve, whom he also named apostles:
Mgbe chi bọrọ, ọ kpọrọ ndị niile na-eso ụzọ ya, site nʼime ha họrọ mmadụ iri na abụọ ndị ọ kpọrọ ndị ozi ya.
14 Simon, whom he also named Peter; Andrew, his brother; James; John; Philip; Bartholomew;
Saimọn (onye ọ kpọrọ Pita) na Andru nwanne ya, Jemis Jọn, Filip Batalomi.
15 Matthew; Thomas; James the son of Alphaeus; Simon who was called the Zealot;
Matiu Tọmọs, Jemis nwa Alfiọs, Saimọn onye a na-akpọ Zilọt.
16 Judas the son of James; and Judas Iscariot, who also became a traitor.
Judas nwa Jemis na Judas Iskarịọt onye raara ya nye.
17 He came down with them and stood on a level place, with a crowd of his disciples and a great number of the people from all Judea and Jerusalem and the sea coast of Tyre and Sidon, who came to hear him and to be healed of their diseases,
Ya na ha rịdatara ga nʼebe ala dị larịị. Igwe ndị na-eso ụzọ ya na oke igwe mmadụ sitere na Judịa, na Jerusalem nakwa obodo dị na nsọtụ mmiri nke Taịa na Saịdọn.
18 as well as those who were troubled by unclean spirits; and they were being healed.
Ndị bịara ịnụrụ okwu ya na ka a gwọọ ha ọrịa ha. A gwọkwara ọtụtụ ndị mmụọ na-adịghị ọcha na-esogbu.
19 All the multitude sought to touch him, for power came out of him and healed them all.
Igwe mmadụ ahụ gbalịrị ịmetụ ya aka, nʼihi na ike dị ukwuu si ya nʼahụ na-apụ na-agwọ ha niile.
20 He lifted up his eyes to his disciples, and said: “Blessed are you who are poor, for God’s Kingdom is yours.
O weliri anya lee ndị na-eso ụzọ ya, sị ha, “Ngọzị na-adịrị unu bụ ndị ogbenye, nʼihi na alaeze Chineke bụ nke unu.
21 Blessed are you who hunger now, for you will be filled. Blessed are you who weep now, for you will laugh.
Ngọzị na-adịrị unu ndị agụụ na-agụ ugbu a, nʼihi na afọ ga-eju unu. Ngọzị na-adịrị unu ndị na-ebe akwa ugbu a, nʼihi na unu ga-achị ọchị.
22 Blessed are you when men hate you, and when they exclude and mock you, and throw out your name as evil, for the Son of Man’s sake.
Ngọzị na-adịrị unu mgbe ndị mmadụ na-akpọ unu asị, mgbe ha na-achụpụ unu, na-akparị unu, na-ajụ aha unu, nʼihi Nwa nke Mmadụ.
23 Rejoice in that day and leap for joy, for behold, your reward is great in heaven, for their fathers did the same thing to the prophets.
“Ṅụrịanụ ọṅụ ma wuliekwanụ elu nʼihi ọṅụ nʼụbọchị ahụ, nʼihi na ụgwọ ọrụ unu dị ukwuu nʼeluigwe. Nʼihi na otu a ka ndị nna nna ha mesoro ndị amụma.
24 “But woe to you who are rich! For you have received your consolation.
“Ma ahụhụ na-adịrị unu ndị ọgaranya, nʼihi na unu eketala nkasiobi unu.
25 Woe to you, you who are full now, for you will be hungry. Woe to you who laugh now, for you will mourn and weep.
Ahụhụ na-adịrị ndị afọ juru ugbu a, nʼihi na agụ ga-agụkwa unu. Ahụhụ na-adịrị ndị na-achị ọchị ugbu a, nʼihi na unu ga-eru ụjụ, bee akwa.
26 Woe, when men speak well of you, for their fathers did the same thing to the false prophets.
Ahụhụ na-adịrị unu mgbe ndị mmadụ niile na-ekwu okwu ọma gbasara unu, nʼihi na otu a ka ndị bụ nna ha mesoro ndị amụma ụgha.”
27 “But I tell you who hear: love your enemies, do good to those who hate you,
“Ma a na m agwa unu ndị na-ege m ntị: hụnụ ndị iro unu nʼanya, mekwaaranụ ndị kpọrọ unu asị ihe ọma.
28 bless those who curse you, and pray for those who mistreat you.
Gọzienụ ndị na-abụ unu ọnụ, ma kpekwaaranụ ndị na-akparị unu ekpere.
29 To him who strikes you on the cheek, offer also the other; and from him who takes away your cloak, do not withhold your coat also.
Ọ bụrụ na onye ọbụla a maa gị ụra nʼotu ntị, tụgharịara ya ntị gị nke ọzọ. Ọ bụrụkwa na onye ọbụla anara gị uwe ahụ gị, nyekwa ya uwe ime ahụ gị.
30 Give to everyone who asks you, and do not ask him who takes away your goods to give them back again.
Nye onye ọbụla rịọrọ gị ihe. Ọ bụrụkwa na mmadụ ewere ihe bụ nke gị, agala ịnapụta ya.
31 “As you would like people to do to you, do exactly so to them.
Dịka unu si chọọ ka ndị mmadụ mesoo unu, sitekwanụ otu a na-emeso ha.
32 “If you love those who love you, what credit is that to you? For even sinners love those who love them.
“Ọ bụrụ naanị ndị hụrụ unu nʼanya ka unu na-ahụ nʼanya, gịnị ga-abụ uru unu? Nʼihi na ọbụladị ndị mmehie, ọ bụ ndị hụrụ ha nʼanya ka ha na-ahụkwa nʼanya.
33 If you do good to those who do good to you, what credit is that to you? For even sinners do the same.
Ọ bụrụkwa naanị ndị na-emere unu ihe ọma ka unu na-emere ihe ọma, gịnị ga-abụ uru unu? Nʼihi na ndị mmehie na-enyekwara ndị na-enyere ha aka aka.
34 If you lend to those from whom you hope to receive, what credit is that to you? Even sinners lend to sinners, to receive back as much.
Ọ bụrụkwa na unu agbazinye naanị ndị nwere ike ịkwụghachi unu ihe, gịnị ga-abụ uru unu? Nʼihi na ndị mmehie na-agbazinyekwa ndị mmehie ibe ha na-atụ anya ka a kwụghachikwa ha nʼozuzu oke.
35 But love your enemies, and do good, and lend, expecting nothing back; and your reward will be great, and you will be children of the Most High; for he is kind toward the unthankful and evil.
Hụnụ ndị iro unu nʼanya, na-emekwa ezi ihe nye ha, gbazinyenụ ndị nọ na mkpa ihe ha chọrọ, na-eleghị anya na ha ga-akwụghachi unu.

36 “Therefore be merciful, even as your Father is also merciful.
Nweenu obi ebere dị ka Nna unu si nwee obi ebere.
37 Do not judge, and you will not be judged. Do not condemn, and you will not be condemned. Set free, and you will be set free.
“Unu ekpela ndị ọzọ ikpe, ka a ghara ikpekwa unu ikpe. Unu amala ndị ọzọ ikpe ka a ghara ịma unu ikpe. Gbagharanụ ndị ọzọ, a ga-agbagharakwa unu.
38 “Give, and it will be given to you: good measure, pressed down, shaken together, and running over, will be given to you. For with the same measure you measure it will be measured back to you.”
Nyenụ, nʼihi na a ga-enyekwa unu. Onyinye unu ga-anata ga-abụ nke juru eju, nke a bịadara nke ọma, yọkọtakwa ayọkọta nke na-ejubiga oke ka a ga-adọkwasị gị nʼahụ; nʼihi na ọ bụ ihe i na-eji atụ ihe ka a ga-eji tụọrọ gị.”
39 He spoke a parable to them. “Can the blind guide the blind? Will not they both fall into a pit?
Ọ tụkwaara ha ilu a, “Onye ìsì ọ pụrụ idu onye ìsì ibe ya? Ha abụọ ọ gaghị adaba nʼime olulu?
40 A disciple is not above his teacher, but everyone when he is fully trained will be like his teacher.
Onye na-eso ụzọ onye ozizi anaghị akarị onye nkuzi ya, kama mgbe ọ mụtasịrị ọ ga-amata ihe dị ka onye nkuzi ya.
41 Why do you see the speck of chaff that is in your brother’s eye, but do not consider the beam that is in your own eye?
“Gịnị mere i ji elee ntakịrị ahịhịa dị nwanna gị nʼanya, ma ị dịghị ahụta obodobo osisi dị gị onwe gị nʼanya?
42 Or how can you tell your brother, ‘Brother, let me remove the speck of chaff that is in your eye,’ when you yourself do not see the beam that is in your own eye? You hypocrite! First remove the beam from your own eye, and then you can see clearly to remove the speck of chaff that is in your brother’s eye.
Ị ga-esi aṅaa sị nwanna gị, ‘Nwanna a, ka m wepụ gị ntakịrị ahịhịa dị gị nʼanya,’ mgbe gị onwe gị na-ahụghị obodobo osisi dị gị nʼanya? Gị onye ihu abụọ, buru ụzọ wepụ obodobo osisi dị gị nʼanya ka i nwee ike ịhụzi ụzọ nke ọma wepụ ntakịrị ahịhịa dị nwanna gị nʼanya.
43 “For there is no good tree that produces rotten fruit, nor again a rotten tree that produces good fruit.
“Ezi osisi adịghị amị mkpụrụ ọjọọ. Ọ dịkwaghị osisi ọjọọ na-amị mkpụrụ ọma.
44 For each tree is known by its own fruit. For people do not gather figs from thorns, nor do they gather grapes from a bramble bush.
Ọ bụ mkpụrụ osisi mịrị ka e ji ama ụdị osisi ọ bụ. Ndị mmadụ adịghị aghọta fiig site nʼosisi ogwu, otu a kwa o nweghị onye na-aghọta mkpụrụ grepu nʼobi ogwu.
45 The good man out of the good treasure of his heart brings out that which is good, and the evil man out of the evil treasure of his heart brings out that which is evil, for out of the abundance of the heart, his mouth speaks.
Ezi mmadụ na-esite nʼakụ ọma juru ya obi na-arụpụta ezi ọrụ, otu a kwa, ajọ mmadụ na-esite nʼobi ọjọọ ya na-arụpụta ajọ ọrụ. Nʼihi na ihe ọbụla dị mmadụ nʼobi bụ ihe na-apụta nʼọnụ ya.
46 “Why do you call me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ and do not do the things which I say?
“Gịnị mere unu ji na-akpọ m, ‘Onyenwe anyị, Onyenwe anyị,’ ma unu adịghị eme ihe m kwuru?

48 He is like a man building a house, who dug and went deep and laid a foundation on the rock. When a flood arose, the stream broke against that house, and could not shake it, because it was founded on the rock.
