Luke 18
1 And he spake also a parable vnto them, to this ende, that they ought alwayes to pray, and not to waxe faint,
Mgbe ahụ ọ tụụrụ ha ilu a iji gosi ha mkpa ọ dị ikpe ekpere na-esepụghị aka,
2 Saying, There was a iudge in a certaine citie, which feared not God, neither reuereced man.
ọ sịrị, “O nwere otu ọkaikpe bi nʼotu obodo ma ọ naghị atụ egwu Chineke. Ọ naghị asọpụkwara mmadụ.
3 And there was a widowe in that citie, which came vnto him, saying, Doe mee iustice against mine aduersarie.
Nʼobodo ahụkwa, e nwere otu nwanyị di ya nwụrụ anwụ nke na-abịakwute ya, na-asị ya, ‘Kpepụta m nʼaka ndị na-emegide m.’
4 And hee would not of a long time: but afterward he said with himselfe, Though I feare not God, nor reuerence man,
“Na mmalite, ọ chọghị, ma nʼikpeazụ, ọ gwara onwe ya sị, ‘Ọ bụ eziokwu na anaghị m atụ egwu Chineke maọbụ sọpụrụ mmadụ.
5 Yet because this widowe troubleth mee, I will doe her right, lest at the last shee come and make me wearie.
Ma nʼihi na nwanyị a di ya nwụrụ anwụ nọgidere na-enye m nsogbu, aga m ahụ na o nwetara ikpe ziri ezi, ka ọ kwụsị inye m nsogbu site na ọbịbịa ọ na-abịa.’”
6 And the Lord said, Heare what the vnrighteous iudge saith.
Ya mere Onyenwe anyị sịrị, “Gerenụ ihe ọkaikpe nke na-eme ajọ omume na-ekwu.
7 Now shall not God auenge his elect, which cry day and night vnto him, yea, though he suffer long for them?
Ọ bụ na Chineke agaghị ekpepụta ndị ahụ ọ họpụtara, bụ ndị na-akpọku ya ehihie na abalị? Ọ ga-anọ tee anya nʼinyere ha aka?
8 I tell you he will auenge them quickly: but when the Sonne of man commeth, shall he finde faith on the earth?
Asị m unu, ọ ga-eme ngwangwa hụ na ha nwetara ikpe ziri ezi. Ma otu ọ dị, mgbe Nwa nke Mmadụ ga-abịa, ọ ga-ahụkwa ndị nwere okwukwe nʼime ụwa?”
9 He spake also this parable vnto certaine which trusted in themselues that they were iust, and despised other.
Ọ tụkwara ilu a nʼihi ndị tụkwasịrị obi nʼonwe ha na ha bụ ndị ezi omume ma na-eleda ndị ọzọ anya.
10 Two men went vp into the Temple to pray: the one a Pharise, and the other a Publican.
“Ụmụ nwoke abụọ rigoro nʼụlọnsọ ukwu ikpe ekpere, otu onye nʼime ha bụ onye Farisii, onye nke ọzọ bụ onye ọna ụtụ.
11 The Pharise stoode and prayed thus with himselfe, O God, I thanke thee that I am not as other men, extortioners, vniust, adulterers, or euen as this Publican.
Onye Farisii ahụ guzoro ọtọ kpee ekpere banyere onwe ya sị, ‘Chineke nna m, ana m ekele gị nʼihi na adịghị m ka mmadụ ndị ọzọ ndị na-apụnara mmadụ ihe ya nʼike, maọbụ ndị ajọ omume, maọbụ ndị na-akwa iko, ma ọ bụkwanụ dị ka onye ọna ụtụ a.
12 I fast twise in the weeke: I giue tithe of all that euer I possesse.
Ana m ebu ọnụ ugboro abụọ nʼizu ụka ọbụla. Ana m akwụkwa otu ụzọ nʼụzọ iri nke ihe niile m nwetara.’
13 But the Publican standing a farre off, woulde not lift vp so much as his eyes to heauen, but smote his brest, saying, O God, be mercifull to me a sinner.
“Ma onye ọna ụtụ ahụ guzo nʼebe dị anya, o nwekwaghị ike iweli ihu ya elu lee anya nʼeluigwe. Kama, ọ na-eti aka nʼobi ya na mwute na-asị, ‘Chineke, biko mere m ebere nʼihi na abụ m onye mmehie.’
14 I tell you, this man departed to his house iustified, rather then the other: for euery man that exalteth himselfe, shall be brought lowe, and he that humbleth himselfe, shalbe exalted.
“Asị m unu, na nwoke a lara nʼụlọ ya bụrụ onye a gụrụ nʼonye ezi omume nʼihu Chineke karịa onye nke ọzọ. Nʼihi na onye ọbụla ga-ebuli onwe ya elu ka a ga-eweda, ma onye ọbụla na-eweda onwe ya ala ka a ga-ebuli elu.”
15 They brought vnto him also babes that he should touche them. And when his disciples sawe it, they rebuked them.
Ndị mmadụ na-ekutere ya ụmụntakịrị ka o bikwasị ha aka. Mgbe ndị na-eso ụzọ ya hụrụ nke a, ha baara ha mba.
16 But Iesus called them vnto him, and said, Suffer the babes to come vnto mee, and forbid them not: for of such is the kingdome of God.
Ma Jisọs kpọrọ ha ka ha bịakwute ya, sị, “Kweenụ ka ha bịakwute m, unu egbochikwala ha, nʼihi na alaeze Chineke bụ nke ndị dị ka ha.
17 Verely I say vnto you, whosoeuer receiueth not the kingdome of God as a babe, he shall not enter therein.
Nʼezie, agwa m unu, onye ọbụla na-agaghị anara alaeze Chineke dị ka nwantakịrị agaghị aba nʼime ya.”
18 Then a certaine ruler asked him, saying, Good Master, what ought I to doe, to inherite eternall life? (aiōnios g166)
Otu onye ọchịchị jụrụ ya sị, “Ezi onye ozizi, ọ bụ gịnị ka m ga-eme keta ndụ ebighị ebi.” (aiōnios g166)
19 And Iesus said vnto him, Why callest thou me good? none is good, saue one, euen God.
Jisọs sịrị ya, “Gịnị mere i ji akpọ m ezi mmadụ? Ọ dịghị onye ọbụla bụ ezi mmadụ ma ọ bụghị naanị Chineke.
20 Thou knowest the comandements, Thou shalt not commit adulterie: Thou shalt not kill: Thou shalt not steale: Thou shalt not beare false witnes: Honour thy father and thy mother.
Ị maara ihe niile enyere nʼiwu, akwala iko, egbula mmadụ, ezula ohi, agbala ama ụgha, sọpụrụ nne na nna gị.”
21 And hee saide, All these haue I kept from my youth.
Ọ sịrị, “Edebezuchaala m iwu ndị a niile site na mgbe m bụ nwata.”
22 Nowe when Iesus heard that, he saide vnto him, Yet lackest thou one thing. Sell all that euer thou hast, and distribute vnto the poore, and thou shalt haue treasure in heauen, and come follow mee.
Mgbe Jisọs nụrụ nke a, ọ sịrị ya, “Otu ihe fọdụrụ ka ime: ree ihe niile i nwere, kesara ụmụ ogbenye ego ya. Ị ga-enwe akụ nʼeluigwe, bịazie soro m.”
23 But when he heard those things, he was very heauie: for he was marueilous riche.
Mgbe ọ nụrụ nke a, o wutere ya nke ukwuu, nʼihi na ọ bụ onye nwere ọtụtụ akụ.
24 And when Iesus sawe him very sorowfull, he said, With what difficultie shall they that haue riches, enter into the kingdome of God!
Jisọs lere ya anya sị, “Lee ka o si bụrụ ihe siri ike bụ ndị ọgaranya ịba nʼalaeze Chineke.
25 Surely it is easier for a camel to go through a needles eye, then for a riche man to enter into the kingdome of God.
Nʼezie, ọ dịrị ịnyịnya kamel mfe isite nʼanya agịga gafee karịa ọgaranya ịbanye nʼalaeze Chineke.”
26 Then said they that heard it, And who then can be saued?
Ndị nụrụ ya sịrị, “Onye kwanụ ka a ga-azọpụta?”
27 And he said, The things which are vnpossible with men, are possible with God.
Ọ sịrị, “Ihe mmadụ na-apụghị ime, bụ ihe Chineke pụrụ ime.”
28 Then Peter said, Loe, we haue left all, and haue followed thee.
Mgbe ahụ Pita sịrị, “Lee, anyị ahapụla ihe niile anyị nwere soro gị!”
29 And he said vnto them, Verely I say vnto you, there is no man that hath left house, or parents, or brethren, or wife, or children for the kingdome of Gods sake,
Ọ sịrị ha, “Nʼezie, agwa m unu, o nweghị onye ọbụla hapụrụ ụlọ ya, maọbụ nwunye, maọbụ ụmụnne, maọbụ ndị mụrụ ya, maọbụ ụmụntakịrị ya, nʼihi alaeze Chineke
31 Then Iesus tooke vnto him ye twelue, and said vnto them, Beholde, we goe vp to Hierusalem, and all things shalbe fulfilled to the Sonne of man, that are writttn by the Prophets.
Jisọs kpọpụrụ mmadụ iri na abụọ ahụ na-eso ụzọ ya nʼakụkụ, gwa ha sị, “Anyị na-aga Jerusalem, ihe niile ndị amụma dere banyere Nwa nke Mmadụ ga-emezu.
32 For he shall be deliuered vnto the Gentiles, and shalbe mocked, and shalbe spitefully entreated, and shalbe spitted on.
A ga-arara ya nyefee ya nʼaka ndị mba ọzọ. Ha ga-akwa ya emo, mee ya ihe ihere, bụkwaa ya ọnụ mmiri asụ.
33 And when they haue scourged him, they will put him to death: but the thirde day hee shall rise againe.
Ha ga-apịa ya ihe, gbukwaa ya; ma nʼụbọchị nke atọ, ọ ga-esite nʼọnwụ bilie ọzọ.”
34 But they vnderstood none of these things, and this saying was hidde from them, neither perceiued they the things, which were spoken.
Ma ha aghọtaghị ihe ọbụla nʼokwu ndị a. E mere ka nkọwa okwu ndị a bụrụ ihe e zoro ezo nʼebe ha nọ, ha aghọtakwaghị ihe o kwuru.
35 And it came to passe, that as he was come neere vnto Iericho, a certaine blinde man sate by the way side, begging.
O ruo ka ọ bịaruru Jeriko nso, otu nwoke kpuru ìsì nọ nʼakụkụ ụzọ na-arịọ arịrịọ.
36 And when he heard the people passe by, he asked what it meant.
Mgbe ọ nụrụ uzu igwe mmadụ ka ha na-agafe, ọ jụrụ ihe na-eme.
37 And they saide vnto him, that Iesus of Nazareth passed by.
Ha gwara ya, “Jisọs onye Nazaret na-agafe.”
38 Then hee cried, saying, Iesus the Sonne of Dauid, haue mercie on me.
O tiri mkpu sị, “Jisọs nwa Devid, meere m ebere!”
39 And they which went before, rebuked him that he shoulde holde his peace, but he cried much more, O Sone of Dauid, haue mercie on me.
Ndị bu ụzọ baara ya mba ka o mechie ọnụ. Ma o tisiri mkpu ike sị, “Nwa Devid, meere m ebere!”
40 And Iesus stoode stil, and commanded him to be brought vnto him. And when he was come neere, he asked him,
Jisọs kwụsịrị, nye iwu ka a kpọtara ya nwoke ahụ. Mgbe o rutere nso, ọ jụrụ ya,
41 Saying, What wilt thou that I doe vnto thee? And he said, Lord, that I may receiue my sight.
“Gịnị ka ị chọrọ ka m meere gị?” Ọ sịrị, “Onyenwe anyị, ka e mee ka m hụ ụzọ ọzọ.”
42 And Iesus said vnto him, Receiue thy sight: thy faith hath saued thee.
Jisọs sịrị ya, “Hụ ụzọ, okwukwe gị agwọọla gị.”
43 Then immediatly he receiued his sight, and followed him, praysing God: and all the people, when they sawe this, gaue praise to God.
Ngwangwa, o bidoro ịhụ ụzọ ma soro Jisọs, na-etokwa Chineke. Ndị mmadụ niile, mgbe ha hụrụ ya tokwara Chineke.
