Luke 7
1 After he had finished speaking in the hearing of the people, he entered into Capernaum.
Mgbe o kwusiri okwu ndị a nye ndị na-ege ya ntị, ọ banyere na Kapanọm.
2 A certain centurion's servant, who was dear to him, was sick and at the point of death.
Ma e nwere otu ọchịagha nke nwere otu ohu nwoke ọ hụrụ nʼanya. Onye nọ nʼọrịa na nʼọnụ ọnwụ.
3 When he heard about Jesus, he sent to him Jewish elders, asking him to come and save his servant.
Mgbe ọ nụrụ ihe banyere Jisọs, o zipụrụ ụfọdụ ndị okenye ndị Juu ka ha gaa rịọrọ ya ka ọ bịa gwọọ ohu ya.
4 When they came to Jesus, they pleaded with him earnestly, saying, "He is worthy for you to do this for him,
Mgbe ha bịakwutere Jisọs, ha rịọsiri ya arịrịọ ike sị, “O kwesiri ka i mere ya ihe a.
5 for he loves our nation, and he built our synagogue for us."
Nʼihi na ọ hụrụ obodo anyị nʼanya. O wukwaara anyị ụlọ ekpere.”
6 Jesus went with them. When he was now not far from the house, the centurion sent friends, saying to him, "Lord, do not trouble yourself, for I am not worthy for you to come under my roof.
Jisọs sooro ha gawa. Ma mgbe ọ nọ nso nʼụlọ ya, onye ọchịagha ahụ zipụrụ ndị enyi ya ka ha ga sị ya, “Onyenwe anyị, esogbukwala onwe gị, nʼihi na etorughị m ka ị bata nʼokpuru ụlọ m.
7 Therefore I did not even think myself worthy to come to you; but say the word, and my servant will be healed.
Ọ bụ ya mere na-echeghị m na m toruru ịpụta bịa zute gị. Ma kwuo okwu, ọ ga-agwọkwa odibo m.
8 For I also am a man placed under authority, having under myself soldiers. I tell this one, 'Go.' and he goes; and to another, 'Come.' and he comes; and to my servant, 'Do this,' 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.”
9 When Jesus heard these things, he was amazed at him, and turned and said to the crowd who followed him, "I tell you, I have not found such great faith, no, not in Israel."
Mgbe Jisọs nụrụ okwu niile a, o juru ya anya nke ukwuu. Ọ tụgharịrị gwa igwe mmadụ ndị na-eso ya sị, “Asị m unu, ahụbeghị m okwukwe dị otu a ọ bụladị nʼIzrel.”
10 And when those who had been sent returned to the house, they found the servant in good health.
Mgbe ndị ozi ahụ laghachiri nʼụlọ, ha chọpụtara na ahụ adịla ohu ahụ mma.
11 It happened soon afterwards, that he went to a city called Nain; and many of his disciples, along with a large crowd, went with him.
O ruo mgbe nwa oge gasịrị, ọ gara nʼobodo a na-akpọ Nain. Ndị na-eso ụzọ ya na ọtụtụ igwe mmadụ ndị ọzọ sooro ya gaa.
12 And when he drew near to the gate of the city, then look, a man who was dead was carried out, the only son of his mother, and she was a widow; and a large crowd from the city was with her.
Mgbe ọ na-abịaru nso nʼọnụ ụzọ e si abata nʼobodo ahụ, o nwere otu nwoke nwụrụ anwụ nke a na-ebupụ, otu nwa nke nne ya mụrụ. Nne ya ahụ bụ nwanyị di ya nwụrụ, oke igwe mmadụ si nʼobodo ahụ sonyekwara ya.
13 When the Lord saw her, he had compassion on her, and said to her, "Do not cry."
Mgbe Onyenwe anyị hụrụ ya, o meere ya obi ebere ma sị ya, “Ebela akwa.”
14 He came near and touched the coffin, and the bearers stood still. He said, "Young man, I tell you, arise."
Mgbe ahụ ọ gara nso metụ igbe ozu ahụ aka, ndị bu ya kwụsịrị. Ọ sịrị, “Nwokorobịa, asị m gị bilie!”
15 He who was dead sat up, and began to speak. And he gave him to his mother.
Nwoke ahụ nwụrụ anwụ biliri, nọdụ ala, bido ikwu okwu, ọ kpọnyere ya nne ya.
16 Fear took hold of all, and they glorified God, saying, "A great prophet has arisen among us." and, "God has visited his people."
Egwu tụrụ ha niile, ha tokwara Chineke sị, “Onye amụma dị ukwuu apụtala nʼetiti anyị, Chineke abịala inyere ndị ya aka!”
17 This report went out concerning him in the whole of Judea, and in all the surrounding region.
Akụkọ a banyere ya ruru Judịa niile na obodo nta niile gbara ya gburugburu.
18 The disciples of John told him about all these things.
Ndị na-eso ụzọ Jọn kọọrọ ya maka ihe ndị a niile. Jọn kpọrọ mmadụ abụọ nʼime ndị na-eso ụzọ ya,
19 John, calling to himself two of his disciples, sent them to the Lord, saying, "Are you the one who is to come, or should we look for another?"
zie ha ka ha jekwuru Onyenwe anyị jụọ ya ajụjụ sị, “Ọ bụ gị bụ onye ahụ ga-abịa. Ka anyị ga-ele anya ọbịbịa onye ọzọ?”
20 When the men had come to him, they said, "John the Baptist has sent us to you, saying, 'Are you the one who is to come, or should we look for another?'"
Mgbe ụmụ nwoke ahụ bịakwutere ya, ha sịrị, “Jọn omee baptizim ziri anyị ka anyị jụọ gị sị, ‘Ọ bụ gị bụ onye ahụ ga-abịa ka anyị ga-ele anya ọbịbịa onye ọzọ?’”
21 In that hour he cured many of diseases and plagues and evil spirits; and to many who were blind he gave sight.
Mgbe ahụ ọ gwọrọ ọtụtụ ndị nwere ọrịa, na nrịa nrịa dị iche iche, na mmụọ ọjọọ. O mekwara ka ọtụtụ ndị kpuru ìsì hụ ụzọ ọzọ.
22 Jesus answered them, "Go and tell John the things which you have seen and heard: that the blind receive their sight, the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, the deaf hear, the dead are raised up, and the poor have good news preached to them.
Ọ zaghachiri ndị ozi ahụ sị, “Laghachinụ azụ gaa kọrọ Jọn ihe unu hụrụ na nke unu nụrụ; ndị kpuru ìsì na-ahụ ụzọ, ndị ngwụrọ na-aga ije, ndị ekpenta ka a na-eme ka ha dị ọcha, ndị ntị chiri na-anụ ihe, a na-eme ka ndị nwụrụ anwụ si nʼọnwụ bilie, a na-ezisara ndị ogbenye oziọma.
23 Blessed is he who is not offended by me."
Ngọzị na-adịrị onye ahụ na-enweghị ihe mkpasu iwe nʼihi m.”
24 When John's messengers had departed, he began to tell the crowds about John, "What did you go out into the wilderness to see? A reed shaken by the wind?
Mgbe ndị na-eso ụzọ Jọn pụrụ, Jisọs bidoro ịgwa igwe mmadụ ahụ okwu banyere Jọn sị, “Gịnị ka unu gara nʼọzara ịhụ? Ọ bụ ahịhịa achara nke ikuku na-ebugharị?
25 But what did you go out to see? A man clothed in soft clothing? Look, those who are gorgeously dressed, and live delicately, are in kings' courts.
Ma gịnị ka unu pụrụ ịga ịhụ? Ọ bụ nwoke yi uwe mara mma? E e, ndị na-eyi uwe dị oke ọnụahịa, ndị na-ebikwa nʼoke oriri na oke ọṅụṅụ bi nʼụlọeze.
26 But what did you go out to see? A prophet? Yes, I tell you, and much more than a prophet.
Ma gịnị ka unu pụrụ ka unu ga-ahụ? Ọ bụ onye amụma? E, ana m a gwa unu, unu hụrụ onye karịrị onye amụma.
27 This is he of whom it is written, 'Look, I send my messenger ahead of you, who will prepare your way before you.'
Ọ bụ onye a bụ onye ahụ e dere ihe banyere ya sị, “‘Aga m ezipu onyeozi m nʼihu gị, onye ga-edozi ụzọ gị nʼihu gị.’
28 "I tell you, among those who are born of women there is none greater than John, yet he who is least in the kingdom of God is greater than he."
Agwa m unu, nʼetiti ndị nwanyị mụrụ, ọ dịghị onye dị ukwuu karịa Jọn, ma onye dịkarịsịrị nta nʼalaeze Chineke dị ukwuu karịa ya.”
29 When all the people and the tax collectors heard this, they declared God to be just, having been baptized with John's baptism.
(Ndị mmadụ niile nụrụ nke a, tinyekwara ndị ọna ụtụ, nabatara nʼụzọ Chineke bụ nke ziri ezi, nʼihi na Jọn emela ha baptizim.
30 But the Pharisees and the Law scholars rejected the counsel of God, not being baptized by him themselves.
Ma ndị Farisii na ndị ozizi iwu jụrụ imezu ebumnobi Chineke nye ha onwe ha, nʼihi na ha anabataghị ka Jọn mee ha baptizim.)
31 "To what then will I liken the people of this generation? What are they like?
Ọ gara nʼihu sị ha, “Ma gịnị ka m ga-eji tụnyere ndị bi nʼọgbọ a? Gịnị ka ha yiri?
32 They are like children who sit in the marketplace, and call one to another, saying, 'We played the flute for you, and you did not dance. We mourned, and you did not weep.'
Ha dị ka ụmụntakịrị nọ nʼọma ahịa na-akpọ ibe ha oku na-asị, “‘Anyị gburu unu ọja, ma unu adịghị ete egwu. Anyị bụrụ abụ ịkwa ozu, ma unu ebeghị akwa.’
33 For John the Baptist came neither eating bread nor drinking wine, and you say, 'He has a demon.'
Nʼihi na Jọn omee baptizim bịara na-erighị achịcha maọbụ ṅụọ ihe ọṅụṅụ ma unu sịrị, ‘Mmụọ ọjọọ bi nʼime ya.’
34 The Son of Man has come eating and drinking, and you say, 'Look, a gluttonous man, and a drunkard; a friend of tax collectors and sinners.'
Nwa nke Mmadụ bịara na-eri ihe oriri na-aṅụkwa ihe ọṅụṅụ, ma unu sịrị, ‘Lee, onye oke oriri na onye oke aṅụmaṅụ, enyi ndị ọna ụtụ na ndị mmehie.’
35 Wisdom is justified by all her children."
Ma e sitela nʼụmụ ya niile nwapụta amamihe nʼonye ziri ezi.”
36 One of the Pharisees invited him to eat with him. He entered into the Pharisee's house, and sat at the table.
Otu onye nʼime ndị Farisii kpọrọ ya oriri. Ọ gara nʼụlọ onye Farisii ahụ, ma nọdụ ala nʼoche nri.
37 And look, a woman in the city who was a sinner, when she knew that he was reclining in the Pharisee's house, she brought an alabaster jar of ointment.
Ma otu nwanyị nke bi nʼobodo ahụ, onye birila ndụ mmehie, mgbe ọ matara na ọ nọ nʼụlọ onye Farisii ahụ na-eri nri, o jiri otu karama alabasta mmanụ otite bata nʼụlọ ahụ.
38 Standing behind at his feet weeping, she began to wet his feet with her tears, and she wiped them with the hair of her head, kissed his feet, and anointed them with the ointment.
Ka o guzoro nʼazụ ụkwụ ya na-ebe akwa, ọ malitere iji anya mmiri ya na-awụsa nʼụkwụ ya. O jiri agịrị isi ya hichaa anya mmiri ahụ, sutu ụkwụ ya ọnụ, ma wụsa mmanụ otite isi ụtọ ahụ na ha.
39 Now when the Pharisee who had invited him saw it, he said to himself, "This man, if he were a prophet, would have perceived who and what kind of woman this is who touches him, that she is a sinner."
Mgbe onye Farisii ahụ kpọrọ ya oriri hụrụ ihe nke a, o kwuru nʼobi ya sị, “A sị na nwoke a bụ onye amụma, ọ gaara amata ụdị mmadụ nwanyị a na-emetụ ya aka bụ, na ọ bụ onye mmehie.”
40 Jesus answered him, "Simon, I have something to tell you." He said, "Teacher, say on."
Jisọs zara ya sị, “Saimọn, e nwere m ihe m chọrọ ịgwa gị.” Ọ sịrị ya, “Onye ozizi gwa m ya.”
41 "A certain lender had two debtors. The one owed five hundred denarii, and the other fifty.
“Ndị ikom abụọ ji onye na-ebinye ndị mmadụ ego nʼọmụrụnwa ụgwọ. Otu onye ji ya narị ego ise, onye nke ọzọ ji ya iri ego ise.
42 When they could not pay, he forgave them both. Which of them therefore will love him most?"
Mgbe ha na-enweghị ike ịkwụghachi ụgwọ ha ji ya, ọ gbaghara ha ụgwọ ahụ. Ugbu a, onye nʼime ha ga-ahụ ya nʼanya karịa?”
43 Simon answered, "He, I suppose, to whom he forgave the most." He said to him, "You have judged correctly."
Saimọn zara sị, “Ọ dị m ka ọ bụ onye nke ọ gbaghara ụgwọ dị ukwuu.” Ọ sịrị ya, “Ị kpeziri.”
44 Turning to the woman, he said to Simon, "Do you see this woman? I entered into your house, and you gave me no water for my feet, but she has wet my feet with her tears, and wiped them with her hair.
Mgbe ahụ ọ tụgharịrị nʼebe nwanyị ahụ nọ gwa Saimọn sị, “Ị hụrụ nwanyị a? A batara nʼụlọ gị, i kunyeghị m mmiri ka m saa ụkwụ m, ma nwanyị a ejirila anya mmiri ya sachaa ụkwụ m, jirikwa agịrị isi ya hichaa ha.
45 You gave me no kiss, but she, since the time I came in, has not ceased to kiss my feet.
Ị sutughị m ọnụ, ma kemgbe m batara nʼụlọ a, o zubeghị ike isutu ụkwụ m ọnụ.
46 You did not anoint my head with oil, but she has anointed my feet with ointment.
Ị teghị m mmanụ ọbụla nʼisi, ma lee, o werela mmanụ otite isi ụtọ wụkwasị m nʼụkwụ.
47 Therefore I tell you, her sins, which are many, are forgiven, for she loved much. But to whom little is forgiven, the same loves little."
Ya mere, ana m agwa gị sị, a gbagharala ya mmehie ya niile o mehiere, nʼihi na ọ nwere ịhụnanya dị ukwuu. Ma onye nwetara mgbaghara dị nta, na-enwe ịhụnanya dị nta.”
48 He said to her, "Your sins are forgiven."
Mgbe ahụ ọ gwara ya sị, “A gbagharala gị mmehie gị.”
49 And those who were reclining with him began to say to themselves, "Who is this who even forgives sins?"
Ma ndị ọzọ soro ya nọdụ na-eri nri bidoro ikwu nʼetiti onwe ha na-asị, “Onye bụ onye a nwere ike ọ bụladị ịgbaghara mmehie?”
50 He said to the woman, "Your faith has saved you. Go in peace."
Ọ sịrị nwanyị ahụ, “Okwukwe gị azọpụtala gị, laa nʼudo.”
