Luke 13
1 Now there were some present at the same time who told him about the Galileans whose blood Pilate had mixed 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 Yeshua answered them, “Do you think that these Galileans were worse sinners than all the other Galileans, 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 unless you repent, you will all perish in the same way.
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 killed them—do you think that they were worse offenders than all the men who dwell 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, unless you repent, you will all perish in the same way.”
Mba! Asị m unu, ọ bụrụ na unu echegharịghị, unu niile ga-ala nʼiyi dị ka ha.”
6 He spoke this parable. “A certain man had a fig tree planted in his vineyard, and he came seeking fruit on it 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 He said to the vine dresser, ‘Behold, these three years I have come looking for fruit on this fig tree, and found none. Cut it down! Why does it waste the soil?’
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 He answered, ‘Lord, leave it alone this year also, until I dig around it and fertilise it.
“Ọ zara sị ya, ‘Nna m ukwu, hapụkwa ya nʼafọ a, ka m gwuo ala gburugburu, hinye ya aja nri ala nʼukwu.
9 If it bears fruit, fine; but if not, after that, you can 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 He was teaching in one of the synagogues on the Sabbath day.
Nʼụbọchị izuike ndị Juu, ọ banyere nʼime otu ụlọ ekpere na-ezi ihe.
11 Behold, there was a woman who had a spirit of infirmity eighteen years. She was bent over and could in no way straighten herself up.
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 When Yeshua saw her, he called her and said to her, “Woman, you are freed from your infirmity.”
Mgbe Jisọs hụrụ ya, ọ kpọrọ ya sị ya, “Nwanyị emeela ka i nwere onwe gị site nʼọrịa gị.”
13 He laid his hands on her, and immediately she stood up straight and glorified God.
Mgbe o bikwasịrị ya aka, ngwangwa, o guzooro kwem malite na-eto Chineke.
14 The ruler of the synagogue, being indignant because Yeshua had healed on the Sabbath, said to the multitude, “There are six days in which men ought to work. Therefore come on those days 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 Therefore the Lord answered him, “You hypocrites! Doesn’t each one of you free his ox or his donkey from the stall on the Sabbath and lead him away to water?
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 Ought not this woman, being a daughter of Abraham whom Satan had bound eighteen long years, be freed from this bondage 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 As he said these things, all his adversaries were disappointed; and all the multitude 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 He said, “What is God’s Kingdom like? To what shall I compare 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 put in his own garden. It grew and became a large tree, and the birds of the sky live in its branches.”
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 Again he said, “To what shall I compare God’s Kingdom?
Ọzọ, ọ sịrị, “Gịnị ka m ga-eji tụnyere alaeze Chineke?
21 It is like yeast, which a woman took and hid in three measures of flour, until it was all 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 He went on his way through cities and villages, teaching, and travelling on to Jerusalem.
O jegharịrị nʼobodo ukwu na nʼobodo nta niile na-ezi ihe, ka ọ na-aga Jerusalem.
23 One said to him, “Lord, are they few who are saved?” 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 by the narrow door, for many, I tell you, will seek to enter in and will 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 has risen up and has shut the door, and you begin to stand outside and to knock at the door, saying, ‘Lord, Lord, open to us!’ then he will answer and tell you, ‘I don’t know you or where you come from.’
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 you will begin to say, ‘We ate and drank in your presence, and you taught in our streets.’
“Nʼoge ahụ, unu ga-asị, ‘Anyị na gị rikọrọ, ṅụkọkwaa, ị kuzikwara nkuzi nʼogbe anyị.’
27 He will say, ‘I tell you, I don’t know where you come from. 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 will be weeping and gnashing of teeth when you see Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, and all the prophets in God’s Kingdom, and yourselves being thrown outside.
“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 They will come from the east, west, north, and south, and will sit down in God’s Kingdom.
Ndị mmadụ ga-esite nʼọwụwa anyanwụ, nakwa ọdịda anyanwụ, na nʼugwu na ndịda nke ụwa bịa nọdụ nʼoriri nʼime alaeze Chineke.
30 Behold, there are some who are last who will be first, and there are some who are first who will be last.”
Ma lee, ndị bu ụzọ ga-aghọ ndị ikpeazụ, ma ndị ikpeazụ ga-aghọ ndị bu ụzọ.”
31 On that same day, some Pharisees came, saying to him, “Get out of here and go away, for Herod wants to kill you.”
Nʼoge awa ahụ, ụfọdụ ndị Farisii bịakwutere ya sị ya, “Si nʼebe a pụọ, nʼihi na Herọd na-achọ igbu gị.”
32 He said to them, “Go and tell that fox, ‘Behold, I cast out demons and perform cures today and tomorrow, and the third day I complete my mission.
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 go on my way today and tomorrow and the next day, for it can’t be that a prophet would perish outside 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 “Jerusalem, Jerusalem, you who kills the prophets and stones those who are sent to her! How often I wanted to gather your children together, like a hen gathers her own brood under her wings, and you refused!
“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. I tell you, you will not see me until you say, ‘Blessed is he who 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.’”
