< Luke 10 >
1 After these things the LORD appointed other seventy also, and sent them two and two before his face into every city and place, where he himself would come.
Mgbe nke a gasịrị, Onyenwe anyị họpụtara iri mmadụ asaa na abụọ ndị ọzọ, zipụ ha mmadụ abụọ abụọ ka ha buru ya ụzọ gaa nʼobodo niile nakwa ebe niile ọ na-achọ ịga.
2 Therefore said he to them, The harvest truly is great, but the laborers are few: pray you therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he would send forth laborers into his harvest.
Ọ sịrị ha, “Owuwe ihe ubi dị ukwuu ma ndị ọrụ dị naanị ole na ole. Ya mere, rịọọnụ Onyenwe owuwe ihe ubi ka o zite ndị ọrụ nʼowuwe ihe ubi ya.
3 Go your ways: behold, I send you forth as lambs among wolves.
Gaanụ! Ma lee, ana m ezipu unu dị ka ụmụ atụrụ nʼetiti agụ.
4 Carry neither purse, nor money, nor shoes: and salute no man by the way.
Unu ewerekwala ego maọbụ akpa maọbụ akpụkpọụkwụ. Unu ekelekwala onye ọbụla nʼụzọ.
5 And into whatever house you enter, first say, Peace be to this house.
“Mgbe unu banyere nʼụlọ ọbụla, burunu ụzọ sị, ‘Udo dịrị nʼụlọ a.’
6 And if the son of peace be there, your peace shall rest on it: if not, it shall turn to you again.
Ọ bụrụ na mmadụ udo bi nʼụlọ ahụ, udo unu ga-adịnyekwara ya. Ọ bụrụkwanụ na onye bi nʼụlọ ahụ abụghị onye udo, udo unu ji bịa ga-alọghachitekwara unu.
7 And in the same house remain, eating and drinking such things as they give: for the laborer is worthy of his hire. Go not from house to house.
Nọgidenụ nʼebe ahụ, na-erinụ ma na-aṅụkwanụ ihe ọbụla ha nyere unu, nʼihi na onye ọrụ kwesiri ịnata ụgwọ ọrụ ya. Unu esitela nʼotu ụlọ gaa nʼụlọ ọzọ.
8 And into whatever city you enter, and they receive you, eat such things as are set before you:
“Ọ bụrụ na ndị bi nʼobodo unu batara anabata unu, rienụ ihe ọbụla ha nyere unu.
9 And heal the sick that are therein, and say to them, The kingdom of God is come near to you.
Gwọọnụ ndị ọrịa nọ nʼebe ahụ, gwakwanụ ha sị, ‘Alaeze Chineke adịla unu nso.’
10 But into whatever city you enter, and they receive you not, go your ways out into the streets of the same, and say,
Ma mgbe unu banyere nʼobodo ọbụla ha jụ ịnabata unu, pụọnụ gaa nʼokporoụzọ ya kwuo sị,
11 Even the very dust of your city, which sticks on us, we do wipe off against you: notwithstanding be you sure of this, that the kingdom of God is come near to you.
‘Ọ bụladị aja si nʼobodo a nke nyapagidere nʼụkwụ anyị, anyị na-ehichapụ ya ka ọ bụrụ ihe ịdọ aka ntị nye gị. Otu ọ dị, matakwanụ nke a, na alaeze Chineke dị nso.’
12 But I say to you, that it shall be more tolerable in that day for Sodom, than for that city.
Ana m agwa unu na nʼụbọchị ahụ, ga-akara Sọdọm mma karịa obodo ahụ.
13 Woe to you, Chorazin! woe to you, Bethsaida! for if the mighty works had been done in Tyre and Sidon, which have been done in you, they had a great while ago repented, sitting in sackcloth and ashes.
“Ahụhụ ga-adịrị gị Korazin. Ahụhụ ga-adịrị gị Betsaida. Nʼihi na ọ bụrụ na ọrụ ebube a rụrụ nʼime unu ka a rụrụ na Taịa na Saịdọn ha gaara echegharị ogologo oge, nọdụ nʼakwa mkpe na ntụ.
14 But it shall be more tolerable for Tyre and Sidon at the judgment, than for you.
Ọ ga-akara Taịa na Saịdọn mma nʼụbọchị ikpe karịa unu.
15 And you, Capernaum, which are exalted to heaven, shall be thrust down to hell. (Hadēs )
Ma gị Kapanọm! Ị na-eche na a ga-ebuli gị elu ruo eluigwe? Mba! Ị ga-arịda nʼala mmụọ! (Hadēs )
16 He that hears you hears me; and he that despises you despises me; and he that despises me despises him that sent me.
“Onye ọbụla gere unu ntị, ọ bụ mụ ka o gere ntị. Onye ọbụla jụrụ ịnabata unu, ọ bụ mụ ka ọ jụrụ ịnabata. Onye ọbụla jụrụ ịnabata m jụrụ ịnabata onye zitere m.”
17 And the seventy returned again with joy, saying, Lord, even the devils are subject to us through your name.
Iri mmadụ asaa na abụọ ahụ jiri ọṅụ lọta sị, “Onyenwe anyị, nʼaha gị, ọ bụladị ndị mmụọ ọjọọ rubeere anyị isi.”
18 And he said to them, I beheld Satan as lightning fall from heaven.
Ọ sịrị ha, “Ahụrụ m ekwensu ka o si nʼeluigwe daa dị ka amụma.
19 Behold, I give to you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt you.
Lee! Enyela m unu ikike ịzọkwasị agwọ na akpị ụkwụ, na imegide ike niile nke onye iro; ọ dịghị ihe ọbụla ga-emerụ unu ahụ.
20 Notwithstanding in this rejoice not, that the spirits are subject to you; but rather rejoice, because your names are written in heaven.
Otu ọ dị, unu aṅụrịla ọṅụ nʼihi na mmụọ ọjọọ rubere unu isi, kama ṅụrịanụ ọṅụ nʼihi na e deela aha unu nʼeluigwe.”
21 In that hour Jesus rejoiced in spirit, and said, I thank you, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that you have hid these things from the wise and prudent, and have revealed them to babes: even so, Father; for so it seemed good in your sight.
Nʼotu oge ahụ, o jupụtara nʼọṅụ nke Mmụọ Nsọ kwuo sị, “Nna, Onyenwe eluigwe na ụwa, ana m ekele gị nʼihi na ị zonarịrị ihe ndị a nʼebe ndị ọkachamara na ndị nwere amamihe nọ, ma ị kpughere ihe ndị a niile nye ụmụntakịrị. E, Nna, otu a ka o si masị uche gị ime ya.
22 All things are delivered to me of my Father: and no man knows who the Son is, but the Father; and who the Father is, but the Son, and he to whom the Son will reveal him.
“Nna m enyefeela m ihe niile nʼaka. Ọ dịghị onye maara onye Ọkpara ahụ bụ, karịa Nna ahụ. Ọ dịkwaghị onye maara Nna ahụ karịa Ọkpara na ndị ahụ Ọkpara chọrọ igosi onye Nna ya bụ.”
23 And he turned him to his disciples, and said privately, Blessed are the eyes which see the things that you see:
Mgbe ahụ ọ tụgharịrị gwa ndị na-eso ụzọ ya na nzuzo sị, “Ngọzị na-adịrị anya nke na-ahụ ihe unu na-ahụ ugbu a.
24 For I tell you, that many prophets and kings have desired to see those things which you see, and have not seen them; and to hear those things which you hear, and have not heard them.
Ana m asị unu, na ọtụtụ ndị amụma na ndị eze ka ọ gụrụ agụụ ịhụ ihe unu na-ahụ ma ha ahụghị ya, na ịnụ ihe unu na-anụ, ma ha anụghị ya.”
25 And, behold, a certain lawyer stood up, and tempted him, saying, Master, what shall I do to inherit eternal life? (aiōnios )
Otu ụbọchị, otu onye ozizi iwu biliri ịnwale ya. Ọ jụrụ ya, “Onye ozizi, gịnị ka m kwesiri ime ka m keta ndụ ebighị ebi?” (aiōnios )
26 He said to him, What is written in the law? how read you?
Ọ sịrị ya, “Gịnị ka e dere nʼiwu? Gịnị ka ị gụtara nʼime ya?”
27 And he answering said, You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your strength, and with all your mind; and your neighbor as yourself.
Ọ zara sị, “‘Ị ga-eji obi gị niile, na mkpụrụobi gị niile, na ike gị niile, na uche gị niile, hụ Onyenwe anyị bụ Chineke gị nʼanya’; ma ‘hụkwa onye agbataobi gị nʼanya dị ka onwe gị.’”
28 And he said to him, You have answered right: this do, and you shall live.
Ọ sịrị ya, “Ị zara nke ọma. Gaa mee nke a ị ga-adị ndụ.”
29 But he, willing to justify himself, said to Jesus, And who is my neighbor?
Ma iji gosi na ya bụ onye na-eme ihe ziri ezi, ọ sịrị Jisọs, “Onye kwanụ bụ onye agbataobi m?”
30 And Jesus answering said, A certain man went down from Jerusalem to Jericho, and fell among thieves, which stripped him of his raiment, and wounded him, and departed, leaving him half dead.
Jisọs sịrị ya, “Otu nwoke sitere Jerusalem na-aga Jeriko, ọ dabara nʼaka ndị ohi, ndị gbara ya ọtọ, tiekwa ya ihe, hapụ ya nʼọnọdụ ọdịndụ-ọnwụkamma laa.
31 And by chance there came down a certain priest that way: and when he saw him, he passed by on the other side.
Ma dị ka ihe si eme, otu onye nchụaja sitere ụzọ ahụ na-agafe. Mgbe ọ hụrụ ya, o sitere nʼakụkụ ụzọ nke ọzọ gafee.
32 And likewise a Levite, when he was at the place, came and looked on him, and passed by on the other side.
Otu a kwa, otu onye Livayị bịarutekwara nʼebe ahụ, hụ ya, ma o sitere nʼakụkụ ụzọ nke ọzọ gafeekwa.
33 But a certain Samaritan, as he journeyed, came where he was: and when he saw him, he had compassion on him,
Ma otu onye Sameria na-aga njem, mgbe ọ bịarutere nso nʼebe ahụ; hụ ya, o nwere ọmịiko nʼahụ ya.
34 And went to him, and bound up his wounds, pouring in oil and wine, and set him on his own beast, and brought him to an inn, and took care of him.
Ọ gara nso nʼebe ọ nọ, jiri mmanya na mmanụ wụsa nʼọnya ya, were akwa kechie ya. Ọ tụkwasịrị ya nʼelu ịnyịnya ibu ya, buba ya nʼụlọ ndị ije ebe o lekọtara ya anya nke ọma.
35 And on the morrow when he departed, he took out two pence, and gave them to the host, and said to him, Take care of him; and whatever you spend more, when I come again, I will repay you.
Nʼechi ya, o wepụtara mkpụrụ ego ọlaọcha abụọ nye onye na-elekọta ụlọ ndị ije ahụ sị ya, ‘Lezie ya anya nke ọma. M lọta aga m akwụghachi gị ihe ọbụla ọzọ i mefuru.’
36 Which now of these three, think you, was neighbor to him that fell among the thieves?
“Onye nʼime mmadụ atọ ndị a ka i chere bụ onye gosiri onwe ya dị ka onye agbataobi nye nwoke ahụ nke dabara nʼaka ndị ohi?”
37 And he said, He that showed mercy on him. Then said Jesus to him, Go, and do you likewise.
Ọ sịrị, “Ọ bụ onye ahụ meere ya ebere.” Jisọs sịrị ya, “Laa, gaa mee otu ahụ.”
38 Now it came to pass, as they went, that he entered into a certain village: and a certain woman named Martha received him into her house.
Mgbe ha na-aga nʼụzọ, ọ banyere nʼotu obodo nta ebe nwanyị a na-akpọ Mata nabatara ya nʼụlọ ya.
39 And she had a sister called Mary, which also sat at Jesus’ feet, and heard his word.
O nwere nwanne nwanyị a na-akpọ Meri nke nọdụrụ ala nʼụkwụ Onyenwe anyị na-ege ntị nʼihe ọ na-ekwu.
40 But Martha was encumbered about much serving, and came to him, and said, Lord, do you not care that my sister has left me to serve alone? bid her therefore that she help me.
Ma uche Mata gbasasịrị agbasa ebe ọ na-akwado maka ile ọbịa. Ọ bịakwutere ya sị ya, “Onyenwe anyị, ọ bụ na o metụghị gị nʼobi na nwanne m nwanyị hapụrụ naanị m ije ozi niile? Gwa ya ka ọ bịa nyere m aka.”
41 And Jesus answered and said to her, Martha, Martha, you are careful and troubled about many things:
Ma Onyenwe anyị zara ya sị, “Mata, Mata, ị na-echegbu onwe gị ma na-adọgbukwa onwe gị banyere ọtụtụ ihe,
42 But one thing is needful: and Mary has chosen that good part, which shall not be taken away from her.
maọbụ naanị otu ihe dị mkpa, Meri ahọrọla nke ka mma, nke a na-agaghị anapụkwa ya.”
