Luke 9
1 Jesus, having convened the twelve, gave them power and authority over all the demons, and to cure diseases;
Mgbe ọ kpọkọtara ndị ozi iri na abụọ ahụ, o nyere ha ike na ịchị isi nʼebe mmụọ ọjọọ niile nọ na ịgwọ ọrịa dị iche iche.
2 and sent them to proclaim the Reign of God, and to heal the sick.
O nyere ha ikike, zipụ ha ikwusa alaeze Chineke na ịgwọ ndị nrịa nrịa.
3 And he said to them, Provide nothing for your journey; nor staves, nor bag, nor bread, nor silver, nor two coats apiece;
Ọ gwara ha sị, “Unu ewerekwala ihe ọbụla maka njem a, maọbụ mkpanaka maọbụ akpa, maọbụ achịcha maọbụ ego maọbụ uwe abụọ.
4 and continue in whatever house you are received into, till you leave the place.
Ụlọ ọbụla unu banyere, nọgidenụ nʼebe ahụ ruo mgbe unu hapụrụ obodo ahụ.
5 And wheresoever they will not receive you, shake even the dust off your feet, as a protestation against them.
Ma ebe ọbụla a na-anabataghị unu, kụchapụnụ aja dị nʼụkwụ unu mgbe unu na-apụ nʼobodo ahụ, ka ọ bụrụ ihe ama megide ha.”
6 They accordingly departed, and traveled through the villages, publishing the good tidings, and performing cures everywhere.
Ha gara nʼobodo nta niile na-ekwusa oziọma na-agwọkwa ndị ọrịa nʼebe niile.
7 Now Herod, the tetrarch, having heard of all that Jesus had done, was perplexed; because some said, John is risen from the dead;
Mgbe Herọd onye ọchịchị nụrụ akụkọ banyere ihe niile merenụ, ọ gbagwojuru ya anya nʼihi na ụfọdụ mmadụ na-asị, na Jọn omee baptizim esitela na ndị nwụrụ anwụ bilie.
8 and some, Elijah has appeared; and others, One of the ancient prophets is risen again.
Ndị ọzọ na-asị na Ịlaịja apụtala, ebe ndị ọzọ na-asị na otu nʼime ndị amụma ochie apụtakwala ndụ ọzọ.
9 And Herod said, John I beheaded; but who is this, of whom I hear such things? And he was desirous to see him.
Ma Herọd sịrị, “Mụ onwe bipụrụ isi Jọn. Onye bụkwa onye a nke m na-anụ ihe banyere ya?” Ọ gụrụ ya agụụ ịhụ ya.
10 Now, the Apostles having returned, reported to Jesus all that they had done: and he, taking them with him, retired privately to a desert belonging to the city of Bethsaida.
Mgbe ndị ozi a lọtara, ha kọọrọ ya ihe niile ha mere. Ọ kpọọrọ ha gaa nʼobodo a na-akpọ Betsaida ebe ha ga-anọ naanị ha.
11 But the multitude, having known it, followed him; and he, receiving them, spoke to them concerning the Reign of God; and he healed those who had need of healing.
Ma mgbe igwe mmadụ matara nke a, ha sooro ya. Ọ nabatara ha ma gwakwa ha okwu maka alaeze Chineke. Ọ gwọkwara ndị niile ọ dị mkpa na-emere ka ahụ dị ha mma.
12 When the day began to decline, the twelve, accosting him, said, Dismiss the people, that they may go to the nearest towns and villages, and provide themselves lodging and food; for we are in a desert.
Mgbe anwụ bidoro ịda, ndị na-eso ụzọ ya iri na abụọ bịakwutere ya sị ya, “Zilaga igwe mmadụ a ka ha gaa nʼime obodo na nʼobodo nta ndị gbara ebe a gburugburu, ka ha chọtara onwe ha nri na ebe ndina nʼihi na ebe a anyị nọ bụ ọzara.”
13 He answered, Supply them yourselves with food. They replied, We have only five loaves and two fishes; unless we go and buy victuals for all this people.
Ọ zara ha sị, “Unu nye ha nri ka ha rie.” Ha zaghachiri ya sị, “Anyị nwere naanị ogbe achịcha ise na azụ abụọ. Ma ọ bụghị na anyị ga aga zụọra mmadụ ndị a niile nri.”
14 For they were about five thousand men. Then he said to his disciples, Make them recline in parties; fifty in a party.
Ndị nọ nʼebe ahụ ruru puku ndị nwoke ise. Ọ gwara ndị na-eso ụzọ ya sị, “Meenụ ka ha nọdụ ala nʼigwe nʼigwe, iri mmadụ ise, iri mmadụ ise.”
15 And they did so, making them all recline.
Ha mere otu ahụ, mee ka ha niile nọdụ ala.
16 Then he took the five loaves and the two fishes; and looking up to heaven, he blessed and broke them, and gave them to his disciples, to set before the multitudes.
O weere ogbe achịcha ise na azụ abụọ ndị ahụ, lelie anya nʼeluigwe, gọzie ma nyawaa ha, nye ndị na-eso ụzọ ya ka ha keere igwe mmadụ ahụ.
17 And they all did eat and were satisfied; and took up twelve baskets full of fragments.
Ha niile riri rijuokwa afọ, a tụtụkọtara ihe fọdụrụ, tụtụjuo nkata iri na abụọ nʼiberibe achịcha fọdụrụ.
18 Afterward, Jesus having withdrawn from the multitude to pray, apart with his disciples, asked them, saying, Who do people say that I am?
Otu ụbọchị mgbe ọ nọ naanị ya na-ekpe ekpere, ndị na-eso ụzọ ya bịakwutere ya. Ọ jụrụ ha sị, “Onye ka igwe mmadụ na-asị na m bụ?”
19 They answered, John the Immerser; others say, Elijah; and others, that one of the ancient prophets is risen again.
Ha zara sị, “Ụfọdụ na-asị na ị bụ Jọn omee baptizim, ndị ọzọ sị na ị bụ Ịlaịja, ndị ọzọkwa, sị na ị bụ otu nʼime ndị amụma ochie ahụ si nʼọnwụ bilie.”
20 He said to them, But who do you say that I am? Peter answered, The Messiah of God.
Ma ọ jụrụ ha, “Unu onwe unu, ọ bụ onye ka unu na-asị na m bụ?” Pita zara sị, “Ị bụ Kraịst nke Chineke.”
21 Then, having strictly charged them, he prohibited them from telling this to any person;
Ma ọ dọrọ ha aka na ntị, nyesiekwa ha iwu ike ka ha ghara ịgwa onye ọbụla nke a,
22 adding, The Son of Man must suffer many things, and be rejected by the elders and chief priests, and scribes, and be killed, and rise again the third day.
na-asị, “Nwa nke Mmadụ aghaghị ịhụ ọtụtụ ahụhụ dị iche iche. Ndị okenye na ndịisi nchụaja, na ndị ozizi iwu ga-ajụ ya. Aghaghị igbu ya, ma nʼụbọchị nke atọ, a ga-eme ka o site nʼọnwụ bilie.”
23 Moreover, he said to all the people, If any man will come under my guidance, let him renounce himself, and take his cross daily, and follow me.
Mgbe ahụ ọ sịkwara ha, “Ọ bụrụ na onye ọbụla achọọ iso m nʼazụ, ọ ghaghị ịjụ onwe ya ma buru obe ya kwa ụbọchị na-eso m.
24 For whosoever would save his life, shall lose it; and whosoever will lose his life for my sake, shall save it.
Nʼihi na onye ọbụla chọrọ ịzọpụta ndụ ya ga-atụfu ya. Ma onye ọbụla nke tufuru ndụ ya nʼihi m, ga-azọpụta ya.
25 What will it profit a man to gain the whole world, with the forfeit or ruin of himself?
Uru gịnị ka mmadụ nwere ma ọ bụrụ na o ritechaa ụwa niile nʼuru ma tufuo ndụ ya, maọbụ bụrụ onye a napụrụ ndụ ya?
26 For whosoever shall be ashamed of me, and of my words, of him will the Son of Man be ashamed, when he shall come in his own glory, and in that of the Father, and of the holy angels.
Onye ọbụla ihere m na ihere okwu m na-eme, ka ihere ya ga-emekwa Nwa nke Mmadụ mgbe ọ ga-abịa nʼebube ya, na nʼebube nke Nna ya, ya na ndị mmụọ ozi dị nsọ.
27 I assure you, that there are some standing here, who shall not taste death till they see the Reign of God.
“Nʼezie asị m unu, ụfọdụ nʼime ndị guzo nʼebe a agaghị edetụ ọnwụ ire tupu ha ahụ alaeze Chineke.”
28 About eight days after this discourse, he took with him Peter, and John, and James, and went up on a mountain to pray.
Mgbe ụbọchị asatọ gasịrị, ọ kpọọrọ Pita na Jọn na Jemis gaa nʼelu ugwu ikpe ekpere.
29 While he prayed, the appearance of his countenance was changed, and his raiment contracted a dazzling whiteness.
Mgbe ọ nọ na-ekpe ekpere, ụdịdị ihu ya gbanwere. Uwe ya bidoro ịchaa ọcha nke ukwuu.
30 And, behold, two men of a glorious aspect, Moses and Elijah,
Nʼotu ntabi anya, ha hụrụ ndị ikom abụọ ka ha na ya na-ekwu okwu. Ha bụ Mosis na Ịlaịja.
31 conversed with him, and spoke of the departure which he was to accomplish at Jerusalem.
Ha pụtara nʼebube eluigwe dị ukwu na-ekwu banyere nlaghachi ya, nke ọ na-aga imezu na Jerusalem.
32 Now, Peter, and those that were with him, were overpowered with sleep; but when they awoke, they saw his glory, and the two men who stood with them.
Pita na ndị ya na ha nọ na-arahụ ụra. Mgbe ha tetara, ha hụrụ ebube ya na ndị ikom abụọ ya na ha nọ na-ekwurịta okwu.
33 As these were removing from Jesus, Peter said to him, not knowing what he said, Master, it is good for us to stay here; let us, then, make three booths, one for you, one for Moses, and one for Elijah.
Mgbe ha na-ahapụ ya, Pita sịrị Jisọs, “Nna anyị ukwu, ọ ga-adị mma ka anyị nọrọ ebe a ka anyị wuo ụlọ ikwu atọ, otu ga-abụ nke gị, otu ga-abụ nke Mosis, otu ga-abụkwa nke Ịlaịja.” Ọ mataghị ihe ọ na-ekwu.
34 While he was speaking, a cloud came and covered them, and the disciples feared, when they entered the cloud.
Mgbe ọ ka kpụ okwu nʼọnụ, igwe ojii pụtara kpuchie ha. Egwu tụkwara ha dị ka ha na-aba nʼigwe ojii ahụ.
35 From the cloud a voice came, which said, This is my Son, the beloved; hear him.
Olu sitere nʼigwe ojii ahụ daa sị, “Onye a bụ Ọkpara m, onye m họpụtara; geenụ ya ntị.”
36 While the voice was uttered, Jesus was found alone. And they kept secret, telling no person, in those days, anything of what they had seen.
Mgbe olu ahụ kwusiri okwu, ha chọpụtara na Jisọs nọ naanị ya. Ndị na-eso ụzọ ya kpuchiri ọnụ ha, debe ihe niile nʼobi ha, ọ dịkwaghị onye ọbụla ha gwara ihe ha hụrụ.
37 The next day, when they were come down from the mountain, a great multitude met him.
Nʼechi ya, mgbe ha si nʼugwu ahụ rịdata, oke igwe mmadụ bịara zute ya.
38 And one of the crowd cried out, saying, Rabbi, I beseech you, take pity on my son; for he is my only child.
Otu nwoke si nʼetiti igwe mmadụ ahụ jiri oke olu tie mkpu sị, “Onye ozizi, arịọ m gị ka i lee nwa m nwoke anya, nʼihi na naanị ya bụ nwa m nwere.
39 And lo! a spirit seizes him, making him instantly cry out, and fall into convulsions, so that he foams; and after he is much bruised, hardly leaves him.
Mmụọ ọjọọ na-ejide ya mee ka ọ na-eti mkpu. Ọ na-atụda ya nʼala, na-ese ya ese, na-adọkwa ya adọ mee ka ọ na-agbọ ụfụfụ nʼọnụ. Ọ dịghị mgbe ọ na-ahapụ ya kama ọ na-echihịasị ya ahụ.
40 And I besought your disciples to expel the demon; but they were not able.
Arịọrọ m ndị na-eso ụzọ gị ka ha chụpụ ya, ma ha enweghị ike.”
41 Then, Jesus answering, said, O incredulous and perverse generation! how long shall I be with you, and suffer you? Bring your son hither.
Jisọs zara sị, “Leenụ ọgbọ rụrụ arụ, nke na-enweghị okwukwe! Ruo olee mgbe ka mụ na unu ga-anọ, ruokwa olee mgbe ka m ga-anagide ekweghị ekwe unu? Kpọtara m nwa gị nwoke ahụ nʼebe a!”
42 And as he was coming, the demon dashed him down in convulsions. And Jesus rebuked the unclean spirit, and having cured the child, delivered him to his father.
Mgbe ọ na-abịa, mmụọ ọjọọ ahụ kwadara ya nʼala sesie ya ike, ma Jisọs baara mmụọ ọjọọ ahụ mba. Ọ gwọrọ nwata ahụ kpọnyekwa ya nna ya.
43 And they were all amazed at the great power of God. While all were admiring everything which Jesus did, he said to his disciples,
Ebube ukwu nke Chineke tụrụ ha nʼanya. Ma mgbe onye ọbụla nọ na mgbagwoju anya nʼihi ọrụ ọ rụrụ, ọ sịrị ndị na-eso ụzọ ya,
44 Mark diligently these words, the Son of Man is to be delivered into the hands of men.
“Geenụ ntị nke ọma banyere ihe m chọrọ ịgwa unu. A ga-arara Nwa nke Mmadụ nye nʼaka ụmụ mmadụ.”
45 But they understood not this language; it was vailed to them, that they might not apprehend it; and they were afraid to ask him concerning it.
Ma ha aghọtaghị okwu a. E zonarịrị ya nʼebe ha nọ ka ha ghara ịghọta ya. Egwu tụkwara ha ịjụ ya ihe ọ pụtara.
46 And there arose a debate among them, which of them should be the greatest.
Ịrụ ụka dapụtara nʼetiti ha banyere onye karịrị ibe ya ukwuu.
47 But Jesus, who perceived the thought of their heart, took a child, and placing him near himself,
Ebe Jisọs ma ihe ha na-eche, ọ kpọtara otu nwantakịrị mee ka o guzo nʼakụkụ ya.
48 said to them, Whosoever shall receive this child for my sake, receives me; and whosoever shall receive me, receives him who sent me: for he who is the least amongst you all, this person shall be great.
Ọ gwara ha sị, “Onye ọbụla nabatara nwata a nʼaha m, nabatara m. Onye ọ bụlakwa nabatara m, nabatara onye zitere m. Ọ bụkwa onye dịkarịsịrị nta nʼetiti unu bụ onye kachasị ukwuu.”
49 Then John replied, Master, we saw one expelling demons in your name, and we forbade him, because he consorts not with us.
Jọn a zaa sị, “Nna anyị ukwu, anyị hụrụ otu onye ka o ji aha gị na-achụpụ mmụọ ọjọọ. Ebe ọ na-esoghị anyị, anyị gbochiri ya.”
50 Jesus answered, Forbid not such; for whosoever is not against us, is for us.
Jisọs sịrị ya, “Unu egbochila ya. Nʼihi na onye ọbụla na-adịghị emegide unu dịnyeere unu.”
51 Now, as the time of his departure approached, he set out resolutely for Jerusalem,
Mgbe oge o ji alaghachi na-abịaru nso, o chere ihu ya ịga Jerusalem.
52 and sent messengers before, who went into a village of the Samaritans to make preparation for him.
O zipụrụ ndị ozi, ka ha buru ya ụzọ gawa. Ka ha na-aga ha batara nʼotu obodo nta nke ndị Sameria ịkwado ihe niile tupu ọ bịa;
53 But they would not admit him; because they perceived he was going to Jerusalem.
ma ha jụrụ ịnabata ya nʼihi na o chere ihu ịga Jerusalem.
54 His disciples, James and John, observing this, said, Master, shall we call down fire from heaven to consume them, as Elijah did?
Mgbe Jemis na Jọn ndị na-eso ụzọ ya hụrụ nke a, ha sịrị ya, “Onyenwe anyị, ị chọrọ ka anyị nye iwu ka ọkụ site nʼeluigwe bịa laa ha nʼiyi?”
55 But he turned and rebuked them, saying, Do you not know of what spirit you are?
Ọ tụgharịrị bara ha mba.
56 And they went to another village.
Ma ha pụrụ banye nʼobodo nta ọzọ.
57 As they were on the way, one said to him, Master, I will follow you whithersoever you go.
Mgbe ha nọ na-aga ije a, otu nwoke sịrị ya, “Aga m eso gị gaa ebe ọbụla ị na-aga.”
58 Jesus answered, The foxes have holes, and the birds of the air have places of shelter; but the Son of Man has not where to repose 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 ọ na-atụkwasị isi.”
59 He said to another, Follow me. He answered, Sir, permit me first to go and bury my father.
Ọ gwara onye ọzọ sị, “Soro m.” Ma ọ sịrị ya. Onyenwe anyị, “Biko, nye m ohere ka m gaa buru ụzọ lie nna m.”
60 Jesus replied, Let the dead bury their dead; but go you and publish the Reign of God.
Ma ọ sịrị ya, “Hapụ ndị nwụrụ anwụ ka ha lie ndị nwụrụ anwụ ibe ha. Ma gị gaa kwusaa alaeze nke Chineke.”
61 Another, likewise, said, I will follow you, Sir; but first permit me to take leave of my family.
Ma onye ọzọkwa, sịrị ya, “Aga m eso gị, Onyenwe m, ma kwere ka m buru ụzọ gaa sị ndị ezinaụlọ m nọdụnụ nke ọma.”
62 Jesus answered, No man, having put his hand to the plow, looks behind him, is fit for the kingdom of God.
Jisọs sịrị ya, “Onye ọbụla jidere aka nʼọgụ anụ ụlọ na-adọkpụ ma na-ele anya nʼazụ ekwesighị alaeze Chineke.”
