Luke 13
1 There were present at that season some that told him of the Galilaeans, whose blood Pilate had 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 Jesus answering said to them, Suppose you that these Galilaeans were sinners above all the Galilaeans, because they 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, except you repent, you shall all likewise perish.
Mba! Asị m unu, ọ bụrụ na unu echegharịghị, unu niile ga-esi otu ahụ laa nʼiyi.
4 Or those eighteen, on whom the tower in Siloam fell, and slew them, think you that they were sinners above all men that dwelled 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, except you repent, you shall all likewise perish.
Mba! Asị m unu, ọ bụrụ na unu echegharịghị, unu niile ga-ala nʼiyi dị ka ha.”
6 He spoke also this parable; A certain man had a fig tree planted in his vineyard; and he came and sought fruit thereon, 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 Then said he to the dresser of his vineyard, Behold, these three years I come seeking fruit on this fig tree, and find none: cut it down; why encumbers it 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 he answering said to him, Lord, let it alone this year also, till I shall dig about it, and dung it:
“Ọ zara sị ya, ‘Nna m ukwu, hapụkwa ya nʼafọ a, ka m gwuo ala gburugburu, hinye ya aja nri ala nʼukwu.
9 And if it bear fruit, well: and if not, then after that you shall 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.
Nʼụbọchị izuike ndị Juu, ọ banyere nʼime otu ụlọ ekpere na-ezi ihe.
11 And, behold, there was a woman which had a spirit of infirmity eighteen years, and was bowed together, and could in no wise lift up herself.
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 her to him, and said to her, Woman, you are loosed from your 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 on 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 the ruler of the synagogue answered with indignation, because that Jesus had healed on the sabbath day, and said to the people, There are six days in which men ought to work: in them therefore come and be healed, and not on the sabbath day.
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 The Lord then answered him, and said, You hypocrite, does not each one of you on the sabbath loose his ox or his ass from the stall, and lead him away to watering?
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 should not this woman, being a daughter of Abraham, whom Satan has bound, see, these eighteen years, be loosed from this bond on the sabbath day?
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 when he had said these things, all his adversaries were ashamed: and all the people 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 Then said he, To what is the kingdom of God like? and to what shall I resemble 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 mustard seed, which a man took, and cast into his garden; and it grew, and waxed a great tree; and the fowls of the air lodged in the branches of 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, Whereunto shall I liken the kingdom of God?
Ọzọ, ọ sịrị, “Gịnị ka m ga-eji tụnyere alaeze Chineke?
21 It is like leaven, which a woman took and hid in three measures of meal, till 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 the cities and villages, teaching, and journeying toward Jerusalem.
O jegharịrị nʼobodo ukwu na nʼobodo nta niile na-ezi ihe, ka ọ na-aga Jerusalem.
23 Then said one to him, Lord, are there few that be 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 Strive to enter in at the strait gate: for many, I say to you, will seek to enter in, and shall 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 When once the master of the house is risen up, and has shut to the door, and you begin to stand without, and to knock at the door, saying, Lord, Lord, open to us; and he shall answer and say to you, I know you not from where you are:
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 shall you begin to say, We have eaten and drunk in your presence, and you have taught in our streets.
“Nʼoge ahụ, unu ga-asị, ‘Anyị na gị rikọrọ, ṅụkọkwaa, ị kuzikwara nkuzi nʼogbe anyị.’
27 But he shall say, I tell you, I know you not from where you are; depart from me, all you workers of iniquity.
“Ma ọ ga-asị, ‘Amaghị m ebe unu siri bịa. Pụọnụ nʼihu m, unu ndị ajọ omume.’
28 There shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth, when you shall see Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob, and all the prophets, in the kingdom of God, and you yourselves 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 shall come from the east, and from the west, and from the north, and from the south, and shall 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 which shall be first, and there are first which shall be last.
Ma lee, ndị bu ụzọ ga-aghọ ndị ikpeazụ, ma ndị ikpeazụ ga-aghọ ndị bu ụzọ.”
31 The same day there came certain of the Pharisees, saying to him, Get you out, and depart hence: for Herod will kill you.
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, Go you, and tell that fox, Behold, I cast out devils, and I do cures to day and to morrow, and the third day I shall be 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 I must walk to day, and to morrow, and the day following: for it cannot be that a prophet perish out 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, which kill the prophets, and stone them that are sent to you; how often would I have gathered your children together, as a hen does gather her brood under her wings, and you 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 truly I say to you, You shall not see me, until the time come when you shall say, Blessed is he that 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.’”
