Luke 7
1 After he had completed all his sayings within the hearing of the people, he entered into Capernaum.
AND when he had finished all these words in the hearing of the people, Jeshu entered into Kapher-nachum.
2 And, a certain centurion’s servant, being sick, was on the point of dying, —who was, by him, highly prized.
But the servant of a certain centurion, who was valued by him, was sick, and nigh unto dying.
3 But, hearing about Jesus, he sent forth unto him elders of the Jews, requesting him that he would come and bring his servant safely through.
And he heard of Jeshu, and sent to him the elders of the Jihudoyee, and besought him to come (and) save his servant.
4 And, they, coming near unto Jesus, began beseeching him earnestly, saying—Worthy, is he for whom thou mayest do this,
And they, when they came to Jeshu, besought of him earnestly, saying, He is worthy that thou do this for him;
5 for he loveth our nation, and, the synagogue, he, built for us.
for he loveth our people, and also a synagogue he hath built for us.
6 And, Jesus, was journeying with them. But, he, by this time, being not far from the house, the centurion sent friends, saying unto him—Lord! do not trouble thyself, for I am of no consideration, that, under my roof, thou shouldst enter.
And Jeshu went with them. But when he was not greatly distant from the house, the centurion sent to him his friends, saying to him, My Lord, labour not, for I am not worthy that thou shouldst enter beneath my roof.
7 Wherefore, neither deemed I, myself, worthy to come unto thee, —but speak with a word, and let my servant be healed.
Wherefore I was not worthy to come to thee; but speak by a word, and my youth shall be healed.
8 For, I too, am a man ranked, under authority, having, under myself, soldiers; and I say to this one—Go! and he goeth, —and to another—Come! and he cometh, —and to my servant—Do this! and he doeth it.
For I also am a man who am subjected under authority; and there are under my hand soldiers, and I say to this one, Go, and he goeth; and to another, Come, and he cometh; and to my servant, Do this, and he doeth.
9 And, hearing these things, Jesus marvelled at him; and, turning to the multitude following him, said—I tell you, Not even in Israel, such faith as this, have I found!
Now when Jeshu heard these (words), he admired, and turned and said to the company who came after him, I tell you, that not also in the house of Isroel have I found faith like this.
10 And they who were sent, returning unto the house, found the servant, well.
And they who had been sent, returned to the house, and found the servant who had been sick now well.
11 And it came to pass thereafter, that he journeyed unto a city called Nain, and there were journeying with him, his disciples and a great multitude.
AND it was the day after, that he went to a city whose name was Nain, and his disciples with him, and a great multitude.
12 Now, as he drew near unto the gate of the city, then lo! there was being brought forth, one dead, the only-begotten son of his mother, —and, she, was a widow; and, a considerable multitude of the city, was with her.
And as he approached the gate of the city, he saw (them) following (one) dead, who was the only born of his mother, and she his mother was a widow: and a great multitude of the people of the city were with her.
13 And, beholding her, the Lord, was moved with compassion over her, and said to her—Be not weeping!
And Jeshu beheld her, and had compassion upon her, and said to her, Weep not.
14 And, going forward, he touched the coffin, and the bearers stood still; and he said—Young man! to thee, I say, Arise!
And he went and touched the bier; and they who were carrying it stood. And he said, Young man, to thee I say, Arise.
15 And the dead man sat up, and began to speak; and he gave him to his mother.
And the dead sat up, and began to speak. And he gave him to his mother.
16 And fear seized them, all, and they began to glorify God, saying—A great prophet, hath been raised up amongst us! and—God hath visited his people!
And fear seized all men; and they glorified Aloha, saying, A great prophet hath arisen among us, and Aloha hath visited his people.
17 And this report went forth throughout the whole of Judaea, and all the surrounding country.
And this word concerning him went forth into all Jihud, and into the whole region around them.
18 And John’s disciples carried tidings unto him concerning all these things.
And the disciples of Juchanon showed him all these.
19 And, calling unto him certain two of his disciples, John sent unto the Lord, saying—Art, thou, the Coming One, or, a different one, are we to expect?
AND Juchanon called two from his disciples,
20 And, coming near unto him, the men said—John the Immerser, hath sent us unto thee, saying, Art, thou, the Coming One, or, another, are we to expect?
and sent them to Jeshu, saying, Art thou He who cometh! or another should we expect?
21 In that very hour, he cured many from diseases, and plagues, and wicked spirits; and, unto many blind, gave he the favour to see.
But in that very hour he healed many from diseases, and from plagues, and from evil spirits; and to many blind he gave to see.
22 And, answering, he said unto them—Go and bear tidings unto John, as to what ye have seen and heard: The blind, are receiving sight, the lame, walk, lepers, are cleansed, and, the deaf, hear, the dead, are raised, the destitute, are told the glad-message;
And Jeshu answered and said to them, Go tell Juchanon every thing you have seen and heard: that the blind see, and the lame walk, and the lepers are cleansed, and the deaf hear, and the dead arise, and the poor are evangelized;
23 And, happy, is he, whosoever shall not find occasion of stumbling in me!
and blessed is he whosoever is not offended in me.
24 And, the messengers of John having departed, he began to say unto the multitudes, concerning John—What went ye forth into the desert to gaze at? A reed, by a wind, shaken?
But when the disciples of Juchanon were gone, Jeshu began to speak to the people concerning Juchanon: What went you forth into the wilderness to see? a reed from the wind shaken?
25 But what went ye forth to see? A man, in soft garments, arrayed? Lo! they who in splendid apparel and luxury are found, are, in the kingly courts.
If not, what went you forth to see? a man clothed in soft raiment? Behold, they who are clothed in bright vestments, and are (living) in pleasures, are in the house of kings.
26 But what went ye forth to see? A prophet? Yea! I say unto you, —and abundantly more than a prophet.
If not, what went you forth to see? a prophet? Yes, I tell you, and more than a prophet:
27 This, is he concerning whom it is written—Lo! I am sending forth my messenger before thy face, who shall prepare thy way before thee.
he, concerning whom it is written, Behold, I send mine angel before thy face, Who shall prepare the way before thee.
28 I say unto you—A greater, among them that are born of women, than John, is there none; but, he that is least in the kingdom of God, is greater than he.
I tell you, that no prophet among those born of women (hath been) greater than Juchanon the Baptizer. Yet the least in the kingdom of Aloha is greater than he.
29 And, all the people, when they heard, and the tax-collectors, justified God, having been immersed with the immersion of John;
(And all the people that heard him, and the tribute-gatherers also, justified Aloha, because they were baptized with the baptism of Juchanon.
30 but, the Pharisees and the lawyers, had set aside, the counsel of God against themselves, not being immersed by him.
But the Pharishee and Sophree rejected against themselves the will of Aloha, because they were not baptized of him.)
31 Unto what, then, shall I liken the men of this generation? And unto what are they like?
With what therefore shall I compare the men of this generation, and to what are they like?
32 They are like unto the children sitting, in a market-place, and calling one to another, who say—We played the flute for you, and ye danced not, We wailed, and ye wept not.
They are like children sitting in the public place, and crying to their companions, and saying, We have sung to you, and you have not danced; we have wailed to you, and you have not wept.
33 For John the Immerser hath come, neither eating bread nor drinking wine, and ye say—A demon, he hath:
For Juchanon the Baptizer came, neither eating bread nor drinking wine, and you say, A devil is in him.
34 The Son of Man hath come, eating and drinking, and ye say—Lo! a man, gluttonous and a wine-drinker, a friend of tax-collectors and sinners.
The Son of man came eating and drinking, and you say, Behold a man a devourer and a drinker of wine, and a friend of tribute-takers and of sinners!
35 And yet wisdom hath been justified by all her children.
But justified is wisdom of her sons.
36 And a certain one of the Pharisees was requesting him, that he would eat with him; and, entering into the house of the Pharisee, he reclined.
NOW there came one of the Pharishee requesting of him to eat with him: and he entered into the house of the Pharisha, and reclined.
37 And, lo! a woman, who indeed was in the city a sinner; and, when she found out that he was reclining in the house of the Pharisee, providing an alabaster-jar of perfume,
And a woman, a sinner, was in that city; and when she knew that in the house of the Pharisha he reclined, she took a vase of ointment,
38 and standing behind, near his feet, weeping, with the tears, began she to be wetting his feet, and, with the hair of her head, was wiping off [the tears], and was tenderly kissing his feet, and anointing them with the perfume.
and stood behind him at his feet and wept, and began with her tears to bedrop his feet, and with the hair of her head to wipe them, and she kissed his feet, and anointed (them) with the ointment.
39 But the Pharisee who had invited him, seeing it, spake within himself, saying, This one, if he were the prophet, would have been taking note, who and of what sort, is the woman, who is even touching him, that she is, a sinner.
But when the Pharisha who had invited him saw (this), he thought within himself and said, Were this a prophet, he would know who this is and what is her report, for this woman is a sinner who toucheth him.
40 And, making answer, Jesus said unto him—Simon! I have, unto thee, something to say. He, then—Teacher, speak!—saith he.
But Jeshu answered and said to him, Shemun, I have somewhat to say to thee. He said to him, Say, Rabi.
41 Two debtors, there were, to a certain creditor, —the one, owed five hundred denaries, and, the other, fifty.
Jeshu said to him, A certain creditor had two debtors: the one owed him five hundred dinoree, and the other fifty dinoree.
42 they not having wherewith to pay, he forgave, both. Which of them, therefore, will love him, more?
And when they had nothing to pay, he forgave them both. Which, therefore, of them the most would love him?
43 Making answer, Simon said—I suppose, that he to whom, the more, he forgave. And, he, said unto him—Rightly, hast thou judged.
Shemun answered and said, I think he to whom much was forgiven. Jeshu said to him, Thou hast judged rightly.
44 And, turning towards the woman, unto Simon, he said—Seest thou this woman? I entered into thy house: water to me, on my feet, thou didst not give, —but, she, with her tears, hath wetted my feet, and, with her hair, wiped off [the tears].
And he turned to that woman, and said to Shemun, Thou seest this woman: I entered thy house; waters for my feet thou gavest me not; but this with her tears hath bedropped my feet, and with her hair hath wiped them.
45 A kiss, to me, thou didst not give, —but, she, from the time I came in, hath not ceased tenderly kissing my feet.
Thou didst not kiss me; but, behold, this from (the time) I entered hath not ceased my feet to kiss.
46 With oil, my head, thou didst not anoint, —but, she, with perfume, hath anointed, my feet.
Thou with ointment my feet didst not anoint, but this with ointment of balsam my feet hath anointed.
47 For which cause, I say unto thee—Her many sins, have been forgiven, because she hath loved, much: but, he to whom little is forgiven, little, loveth.
Therefore I tell thee, That forgiven to her are her many sins, because she hath loved much. For he to whom little is forgiven, little loveth.
48 And he said unto her—Thy sins have been forgiven.
And he said to her, Woman, forgiven to thee (are) thy sins.
49 And they who were reclining together, began to be saying within themselves—Who is, this, that, even forgiveth sins?
But they who reclined said among themselves, Who is this who also sins forgiveth?
50 But he said unto the woman—Thy faith, hath saved thee, —Go thy way into peace.
But Jeshu said to that woman, Thy faith hath saved thee; go in peace.
