Matthew 8
1 When Jesus came down from the mountain, large crowds followed Him.
Ọtụtụ mmadụ sooro Jisọs mgbe o si nʼugwu ahụ rịdata.
2 Suddenly a leper came and knelt before Him, saying, “Lord, if You are willing, You can make me clean.”
Mgbe ha na-aga nʼụzọ, otu onye ekpenta bịakwutere ya kpọọ isiala nye ya, rịọ ya sị, “Onyenwe m, ọ bụrụ na ị chọrọ, ị pụrụ ime ka m dị ọcha.”
3 Jesus reached out His hand and touched the man. “I am willing,” He said. “Be clean!” And immediately his leprosy was cleansed.
O setịpụrụ aka ya, metụ ya sị, “Achọrọ m ka ị dị ọcha, dịrịkwa ọcha!” Ngwangwa, ekpenta ahụ lara.
4 Then Jesus instructed him, “See that you don’t tell anyone. But go, show yourself to the priest and offer the gift prescribed by Moses, as a testimony to them.”
Jisọs nyere nwoke ahụ iwu sị ya, “Hụ na ịgwaghị onye ọbụla, kama gaa gosi onye nchụaja onwe gị, chụọkwa aja onyinye dịka Mosis, nyere nʼiwu, ka ọ bụrụ ihe ama nye ya.”
5 When Jesus had entered Capernaum, a centurion came and pleaded with Him,
Mgbe ọ banyere na Kapanọm, otu onye ọchịagha bịakwutere ya rịọọ ka o nyere ya aka.
6 “Lord, my servant lies at home, paralyzed and in terrible agony.”
Ọ sịrị, “Onyenwe m, onye na-ejere m ozi dina nʼụlọ nʼoke ihe mgbu, akụkụ ahụ ya kpọnwụkwara akpọnwụ.”
7 “I will go and heal him,” Jesus replied.
Jisọs sịrị ya, “Ọ bụ m bịa gwọọ ya?”
8 The centurion answered, “Lord, I am not worthy to have You come under my roof. But just say the word, and my servant will be healed.
Ma onye ọchịagha ahụ zara ya sị, “Onyenwe m, ekwesighị m ka ị bata nʼokpuru ụlọ m. Naanị nọdụ nʼebe a, kwuo okwu, ahụ ga-adịkwa onye na-ejere m ozi ike.
9 For I myself am a man under authority, with soldiers under me. I tell one to go, and he goes; and another to come, and he comes. I tell my servant to do something, and he does it.”
Nʼihi na mụ onwe m bụkwa onye nọ nʼokpuru ikike ọchịchị, nwee ndị agha nọ nʼokpuru m. Ana m asị onye nke a, ‘gaa.’ Ọ gaa, sịkwa onye nke ọzọ, ‘bịa.’ Ọ bịa. Ana m asị ohu m, ‘mee nke a.’ Ọ na-emekwa ya.”
10 When Jesus heard this, He marveled and said to those following Him, “Truly I tell you, I have not found anyone in Israel with such great faith.
Mgbe Jisọs nụrụ okwu a, o juru ya anya nke ukwuu. Ọ gwara igwe mmadụ ahụ so ya okwu sị, “Nʼezie, ahụbeghị m okwukwe dị otu a ebe ọbụla; ọ bụladị nʼIzrel niile.
11 I say to you that many will come from the east and the west to share the banquet with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob in the kingdom of heaven.
Nʼezie kwa, ọtụtụ ndị mmadụ ga-esite nʼọwụwa anyanwụ nakwa ọdịda anyanwụ bịa soro Ebraham na Aịzik na Jekọb nọkọọ nʼoriri nʼalaeze eluigwe.
12 But the sons of the kingdom will be thrown into the outer darkness, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.”
Ma ụmụ alaeze ahụ, ka a ga-atụpụ nʼezi, nʼime ọchịchịrị, ebe ịkwa akwa na ịta ikikere eze ga-adị.”
13 Then Jesus said to the centurion, “Go! As you have believed, so will it be done for you.” And his servant was healed at that very hour.
Jisọs gwara ọchịagha ahụ okwu sị ya, “Laa! E meerela gị dị ka okwukwe gị sịrị dị.” Ahụ dịrị onye ahụ na-ejere ya ozi mma nʼotu awa ahụ.
14 When Jesus arrived at Peter’s house, He saw Peter’s mother-in-law sick in bed with a fever.
Mgbe Jisọs ruru nʼụlọ Pita, ọ chọpụtara na nne nwunye ya nwere ahụ ọkụ.
15 So He touched her hand, and the fever left her, and she got up and began to serve them.
Ọ metụrụ ya aka, ahụ ọkụ ahụ hapụrụ ya, o biliri malite ijere ya ozi.
16 When evening came, many who were demon-possessed were brought to Jesus, and He drove out the spirits with a word and healed all the sick.
Nʼoge uhuruchi, ha kpọtaara ya ọtụtụ ndị mmụọ ọjọọ na-esogbu. O ji okwu ọnụ chụpụ mmụọ ọjọọ ahụ niile, gwọọkwa ndị niile ahụ na-adịghị ike.
17 This was to fulfill what was spoken through the prophet Isaiah: “He took on our infirmities and carried our diseases.”
Nke a bụ imezu amụma ahụ Aịzaya buru sị, “O bupụrụ nrịa nrịa anyị niile, burukwa ọrịa anyị niile.”
18 When Jesus saw a large crowd around Him, He gave orders to cross to the other side of the sea.
Mgbe Jisọs hụrụ igwe mmadụ dị ukwuu ndị gbara ya gburugburu, ọ nyere ndị na-eso ụzọ ya iwu ka ha gafee nʼofe nke ọzọ.
19 And one of the scribes came to Him and said, “Teacher, I will follow You wherever You go.”
Nʼoge ahụ, otu onye nʼetiti ndị na-ezi iwu bịakwutere ya sị ya, “Onye nkuzi, aga m eso gị gaa ebe ọbụla ị na-aga.”
20 Jesus replied, “Foxes have dens and birds of the air have nests, but the Son of Man has no place to lay His head.”
Jisọs zara, sị, “Nkịta ọhịa nwere ọnụ ebe ha na-edina. Ụmụ nnụnụ nke igwe nwekwara akwụ; ma Nwa nke Mmadụ enweghị ebe obibi.”
21 Another of His disciples requested, “Lord, first let me go and bury my father.”
Otu onye ọzọ nʼime ndị na-eso ụzọ ya sịrị ya, “Onyenwe m, aga m eso gị, kama kwere ka m buru ụzọ gaa lie nna m.”
22 But Jesus told him, “Follow Me, and let the dead bury their own dead.”
Ma Jisọs zara sị ya, “Soro m ugbu a. Hapụ ndị nwụrụ anwụ ka ha lie ndị nwụrụ anwụ ibe ha.”
23 When He got into the boat, His disciples followed Him.
Mgbe ọ banyere nʼụgbọ, ndị na-eso ụzọ ya sooro ya.
24 Suddenly a violent storm came up on the sea, so that the boat was engulfed by the waves; but Jesus was sleeping.
Nʼotu ntabi anya, oke ifufe bidoro ife nʼọdọ mmiri ahụ, nke mere na ebili mmiri na-ekpuchi ụgbọ ahụ. Ma ọ nọ na-arahụ ụra mgbe ihe ndị a na-eme.
25 The disciples went and woke Him, saying, “Lord, save us! We are perishing!”
Ndị na-eso ụzọ ya jekwuuru ya, kpọtee ya, sị ya, “Onyenwe anyị, zọpụta anyị! Lee, na anyị nʼala nʼiyi.”
26 “You of little faith,” Jesus replied, “why are you so afraid?” Then He got up and rebuked the winds and the sea, and it was perfectly calm.
Ma ọ zaghachiri, “Unu ndị okwukwe nta, gịnị mere ụjọ ji na-atụ unu?” Mgbe ahụ o biliri baara ifufe ahụ na ebili mmiri ahụ mba. Ha niile dajụrụ, deere jii.
27 The men were amazed and asked, “What kind of man is this? Even the winds and the sea obey Him!”
O juru ndị na-eso ụzọ ya anya, mee ka ha jụọ ajụjụ sị, “Ọ bụ ụdị mmadụ dị aṅaa ka nwoke a bụ? Ọ bụladị ifufe na ebili mmiri na-eme ihe o kwuru.”
28 When Jesus arrived on the other side in the region of the Gadarenes, He was met by two demon-possessed men coming from the tombs. They were so violent that no one could pass that way.
Mgbe o rutere nʼofe nke ọzọ nke obodo Gadarin, mmadụ abụọ ndị mmụọ ọjọọ si nʼebe a na-eli ozu zutere ya. Ha na-akpa ike nke ukwuu, na ọ dịkwaghị onye na-esite nʼụzọ ahụ agafe nʼihi ha.
29 “What do You want with us, Son of God?” they shouted. “Have You come here to torture us before the appointed time?”
Ngwangwa, ha tiri mkpu bido na-ajụ ajụjụ sị, “Gịnị ka anyị na gị nwekọrọ, gị Ọkpara Chineke? Ị gaghị echekwa eche ka oge ruo tupu ibido ịta anyị ahụhụ?”
30 In the distance a large herd of pigs was feeding.
Igwe ezi nọ nʼakụkụ ebe ahụ na-akpa nri.
31 So the demons begged Jesus, “If You drive us out, send us into the herd of pigs.”
Mmụọ ọjọọ ndị a rịọrọ ya arịrịọ sị, “Ọ bụrụ na ị chụpụ anyị, biko, hapụ anyị ka anyị banye nʼime ezi ndị a.”
32 “Go!” He told them. So they came out and went into the pigs, and the whole herd rushed down the steep bank into the sea and died in the waters.
Ọ nyere ha iwu sị ha, “Ngwa, gaanụ!” Ha sitere nʼime mmadụ abụọ ahụ pụta banye nʼime igwe ezi ahụ. Otu mgbe ahụ kwa, ezi ndị ahụ niile gbaara ọsọ site na mkputamkpu ala ọnụ mmiri ahụ dabanyechaa nʼime mmiri ahụ. Ha nwụkwara nʼime ya.
33 Those tending the pigs ran off into the town and reported all this, including the account of the demon-possessed men.
Ndị na-elekọta igwe ezi ndị ahụ gbapụrụ gbaga nʼime obodo kọọrọ ha ihe niile mere; tinyere ihe mere ndị ahụ mmụọ ọjọọ na-esogbu.
34 Then the whole town went out to meet Jesus. And when they saw Him, they begged Him to leave their region.
Ya mere ndị niile nọ nʼobodo ahụ pụtara ịhụ Jisọs. Mgbe ha hụrụ ya ha rịọrọ ya sị ya pụọra ha nʼakụkụ obodo ha.
