< Luke 7 >
1 And when he completed all his sayings in the ears of the people, he went 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 ill, was about to die, who was much valued by him,
But the servant of a certain centurion, who was valued by him, was sick, and nigh unto dying.
3 and having heard about Jesus, he sent unto him elders of the Jews, beseeching him, that having come he might thoroughly save his servant.
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, having come near unto Jesus, were calling upon him earnestly, saying — 'He is worthy to whom thou shalt 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 doth love our nation, and the synagogue he did build to us.'
for he loveth our people, and also a synagogue he hath built for us.
6 And Jesus was going on with them, and now when he is not far distant from the house the centurion sent unto him friends, saying to him, 'Sir, be not troubled, for I am not worthy that under my roof thou mayest 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 not even myself thought I worthy to come unto thee, but say in a word, and my lad shall 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 also am a man placed under authority, having under myself soldiers, and I say to this [one], Go, and he goeth; and to another, Be coming, and he cometh; and to my servant, Do this, and he doth [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 having heard these things Jesus wondered at him, and having turned to the multitude following him, he said, 'I say to you, not even in Israel so much faith did I find;'
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 those sent, having turned back to the house, found the ailing servant in health.
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, on the morrow, he was going on to a city called Nain, and there were going with him many of 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 and as he came nigh to the gate of the city, then, lo, one dead was being carried forth, an only son of his mother, and she a widow, and a great 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 the Lord having seen her, was moved with compassion towards 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 having come near, he touched the bier, and those bearing [it] 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 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 took hold of all, and they were glorifying God, saying — 'A great prophet hath risen among us,' and — 'God did look upon 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 the account of this went forth in all Judea about him, and in all the region around.
And this word concerning him went forth into all Jihud, and into the whole region around them.
18 And the disciples of John told him about all these things,
And the disciples of Juchanon showed him all these.
19 and John having called near a certain two of his disciples, sent unto Jesus, saying, 'Art thou he who is coming, or for another do we look?'
AND Juchanon called two from his disciples,
20 And having come near to him, the men said, 'John the Baptist sent us unto thee, saying, Art thou he who is coming, or for another do we look?'
and sent them to Jeshu, saying, Art thou He who cometh! or another should we expect?
21 And in that hour he cured many from sicknesses, and plagues, and evil spirits, and to many blind he granted sight.
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 Jesus answering said to them, 'Having gone on, report to John what ye saw and heard, that blind men do see again, lame do walk, lepers are cleansed, deaf do hear, dead are raised, poor have good news proclaimed;
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 whoever may not be stumbled in me.'
and blessed is he whosoever is not offended in me.
24 And the messengers of John having gone away, he began to say unto the multitudes concerning John: 'What have ye gone forth to the wilderness to look on? a reed by the 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 have ye gone forth to see? a man in soft garments clothed? lo, they in splendid apparellings, and living in luxury, are in the houses of kings!
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 have ye gone forth to see? a prophet? Yes, I say to you, and much 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 hath been written, Lo, I send 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 for I say to you, a greater prophet, among those born of women, than John the Baptist there is not; but the least in the reign 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 having heard, and the tax-gatherers, declared God righteous, having been baptized with the baptism 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, the counsel of God did put away for themselves, not having been baptized by him.
But the Pharishee and Sophree rejected against themselves the will of Aloha, because they were not baptized of him.)
31 And the Lord said, 'To what, then, shall I liken the men of this generation? and to 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 to children, to those sitting in a market-place, and calling one to another, and saying, We piped to you, and ye did not dance, we mourned to you, and ye did not weep!
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 Baptist came neither eating bread nor drinking wine, and ye say, He hath a demon;
For Juchanon the Baptizer came, neither eating bread nor drinking wine, and you say, A devil is in him.
34 the Son of Man came eating and drinking, and ye say, Lo, a man, a glutton, and a wine drinker, a friend of tax-gatherers 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 the wisdom was justified from all her children.'
But justified is wisdom of her sons.
36 And a certain one of the Pharisees was asking him that he might eat with him, and having gone into the house of the Pharisee he reclined (at meat),
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 in the city, who was a sinner, having known that he reclineth (at meat) in the house of the Pharisee, having provided an alabaster box of ointment,
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 having stood behind, beside his feet, weeping, she began to wet his feet with the tears, and with the hairs of her head she was wiping, and was kissing his feet, and was anointing with the ointment.
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 And the Pharisee who did call him, having seen, spake within himself, saying, 'This one, if he were a prophet, would have known who and of what kind [is] the woman who doth touch 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 Jesus answering said unto him, 'Simon, I have something to say to thee;' and he saith, 'Teacher, say on.'
But Jeshu answered and said to him, Shemun, I have somewhat to say to thee. He said to him, Say, Rabi.
41 'Two debtors were to a certain creditor; the one was owing 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 and they not having [wherewith] to give back, he forgave both; which then of them, say thou, 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 And Simon answering said, 'I suppose that to whom he forgave the more;' and he said to him, 'Rightly thou didst judge.'
Shemun answered and said, I think he to whom much was forgiven. Jeshu said to him, Thou hast judged rightly.
44 And having turned unto the woman, he said to Simon, 'Seest thou this woman? I entered into thy house; water for my feet thou didst not give, but this woman with tears did wet my feet, and with the hairs of her head did wipe;
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 this woman, from what [time] I came in, did not cease 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 this woman with ointment did anoint my feet;
Thou with ointment my feet didst not anoint, but this with ointment of balsam my feet hath anointed.
47 therefore I say to thee, her many sins have been forgiven, because she did love much; but to whom little is forgiven, little he doth love.'
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 to her, 'Thy sins have been forgiven;'
And he said to her, Woman, forgiven to thee (are) thy sins.
49 and those reclining with him (at meat) began to say within themselves, 'Who is this, who also doth forgive sins?'
But they who reclined said among themselves, Who is this who also sins forgiveth?
50 and he said unto the woman, 'Thy faith have saved thee, be going on to peace.'
But Jeshu said to that woman, Thy faith hath saved thee; go in peace.
