Luka 7
1 Esi Yesu wu eƒe mawunyagbɔgblɔ la nu la, etrɔ yi Kapernaum dua me.
When hee had ended all his sayings in the audience of the people, he entred into Capernaum.
2 Romatɔwo ƒe aʋafia gã si nɔ du ma me la ƒe dɔla si gbɔ melɔ̃a nu le o la dze dɔ vevie, eye wòɖo kudo nu.
And a certaine Ceturions seruant was sicke and readie to die, which was deare vnto him.
3 Aʋafia la se Yesu ŋkɔ, eya ta edɔ Yudatɔ ŋkuta aɖewo ɖe egbɔ be woaɖe kuku nɛ be wòava da gbe le dɔla sia ŋu na ye.
And when he heard of Iesus, hee sent vnto him the Elders of the Iewes, beseeching him that he would come, and heale his seruant.
4 Ameawo yi Yesu gbɔ heɖe kuku nɛ vevie be wòava kpe ɖe aʋafia la ŋu. Wona wònya be aʋafia sia nye ame nyui aɖe ŋutɔ.
So they came to Iesus, and besought him instantly, saying that hee was worthy that hee should doe this for him:
5 Wogblɔ na Yesu be, “Ŋutsu sia ŋue wòle be nàkpe ɖo, elabena elɔ̃ míaƒe dukɔ la eye eya kee tu míaƒe ƒuƒoƒe na mí.”
For he loueth, said they, our nation, and he hath built vs a Synagogue.
6 Yesu tso kpla kplɔ wo ɖo. Gake hafi wòaɖo aƒea me la, aʋafia la dɔ exɔlɔ̃ aɖewo ɖa be woagblɔ na Yesu be, “Aƒetɔ, mègaɖe fu na ɖokuiwò be nàva nye aƒe me o, elabena nyemedze na bubu sia tɔgbi o.
Then Iesus went with them: but when he was now not farre from the house, the Centurion sent friendes to him, saying vnto him, Lord, trouble not thy selfe: for I am not worthy that thou shouldest enter vnder my roofe:
7 Eye nyemedze be mava kpe wò ŋutɔ gɔ̃ hã o. Gblɔ nya si wòle be nàgblɔ la ɖo ɖa tso afi si nèle ekema nye dɔla ƒe lãme asẽ.
Wherefore I thought not my selfe worthy to come vnto thee: but say the word, and my seruant shalbe whole:
8 Elabena nye ŋutɔ hã menye ame le ŋusẽ te, eye asrafowo le nye hã tenye. Meɖea gbe na tenyeviwo be, ‘Miyi afii’, eye woyina, ‘Miva afii’, eye wovana, megblɔna na nye dɔla be, ‘Wɔ esi kple ekemɛ’, eye wòwɔnɛ.”
For I likewise am a man set vnder authoritie, and haue vnder mee souldiers, and I say vnto one, Goe, and he goeth: and to another, Come, and hee commeth: and to my seruant, Doe this, and he doeth it.
9 Esi Yesu se nya siawo la, nyawo wɔ nuku nɛ ŋutɔ. Etrɔ ɖe ameha si dze eyome la ŋu gblɔ be, “Le nyateƒe me la, nyemekpɔ xɔse sia tɔgbi le Israelnyigba dzi kpɔ o.”
When Iesus heard these things, he marueiled at him, and turned him, and said to the people, that followed him, I say vnto you, I haue not found so great faith, no not in Israel.
10 Esi aʋafia la xɔlɔ̃wo yi aƒe me la, wokpɔ dɔla si nɔ dɔ lém la wòhaya, eye eƒe lãme sẽ abe tsã ene.
And when they that were sent, turned backe to the house, they founde the seruant that was sicke, whole.
11 Le esia megbe la, Yesu yi du aɖe si woyɔna be Nain la me. Eƒe nusrɔ̃lawo kple ameha gã aɖe kplɔe ɖo heyi.
And it came to passe the day after, that he went into a citie called Nain, and many of his disciples went with him, and a great multitude.
12 Esi wòsusɔ vie woaɖo dua ƒe agbo nu la, wokpɔ be wotsɔ ame kuku aɖe le go domi. Ame si ku woyina ɖiɖi ge la nye viŋutsu akogo si nɔ dadaa si nye ahosi la si. Esia wɔe be ame geɖewo ŋutɔ kplɔ ahosia ɖo henɔ konyi fam kplii.
Nowe when hee came neere to the gate of the citie, behold, there was a dead man caried out, who was the onely begotten sonne of his mother, which was a widowe, and much people of the citie was with her.
13 Esi Aƒetɔ la kpɔ ahosia la, eƒe nu wɔ nublanui nɛ ŋutɔ, eya ta egblɔ nɛ be, “Mègafa avi o!”
And when the Lord sawe her, he had compassion on her, and said vnto her, Weepe not.
14 Yesu te ɖe amekukuɖaka la ŋu, eye wotɔ asii, enumake ame siwo tsɔ aɖaka la tɔ ɖe tsitre. Azɔ egblɔ na ame kukua be, “Ɖekakpui, tsi tsitre.”
And he went and touched the coffin (and they that bare him, stoode still) and he said, Yong man, I say vnto thee, Arise.
15 Enumake ɖekakpui la fɔ henɔ alinu, eye wòde asi nuƒoƒo me na ame siwo nɔ egbɔ la; ale Yesu kplɔe de asi na dadaa.
And he that was dead, sate vp, and began to speake, and he deliuered him to his mother.
16 Vɔvɔ̃ gã aɖe ɖo ameawo, eye wodo ɣli kafu Mawu gblɔ be, “Nyagblɔɖila gã aɖe le mía dome vavã. Míekpɔ Mawu ŋutɔ ƒe asi wòwɔ dɔ le egbeŋkeke sia dzi.”
Then there came a feare on them all, and they glorified God, saying, A great Prophet is risen among vs, and God hath visited his people.
17 Nukunu si Yesu wɔ gbe ma gbe la kaka ɖe Yudea bliboa katã kple nuto siwo ƒo xlã Yudea la me.
And this rumour of him went foorth throughout all Iudea, and throughout all the region round about.
18 Yohanes ƒe nusrɔ̃lawo se nu siwo katã wɔm Yesu nɔ, eye woyi ɖagblɔe na Yohanes. Ke Yohanes yɔ eƒe nusrɔ̃la eve,
And the disciples of Iohn shewed him of all these things.
19 eye wòdɔ wo ɖo ɖe Aƒetɔ la gbɔ be woabiae be, “Wòe nye Mesia la vavã loo alo míganɔ mɔ kpɔm na ame bubua?”
So Iohn called vnto him two certaine men of his disciples, and sent them to Iesus, saying, Art thou hee that should come, or shall we waite for another?
20 Esi nusrɔ̃la eveawo va egbɔ la, wogblɔ nɛ be, “Yohanes, Mawutsidetanamelae dɔ mí ɖo ɖe gbɔwò be míabia wò be, ‘Wòe nye ame si gbɔna loo alo ɖe míakpɔ mɔ na ame bubu aɖea?’”
And when the men were come vnto him, they said, Iohn Baptist hath sent vs vnto thee, saying, Art thou hee that should come, or shall we waite for another?
21 Le gaƒoƒo ma tututu dzi la, Yesu da gbe le dɔléla geɖewo kple fukpelawo kple ame siwo me gbɔgbɔ vɔ̃wo le la ŋu, eye wòʋu ŋku na ŋkuagbãtɔ geɖewo.
And at that time, he cured many of their sickenesses, and plagues, and of euill spirites, and vnto many blinde men he gaue sight freely.
22 Eya ta eɖo eŋu na ame dɔdɔawo be, “Miheyi ɖagblɔ nu si miekpɔ kple nu si miese la fia Yohanes be ŋkuagbãtɔwo le nu kpɔm, tekunɔwo le azɔli zɔm, eye kpodɔlélawo ŋuti le kɔkɔm, tokunɔwo le nu sem, ame kukuwo le tsitre tsim, eye wole nyanyui la gblɔm na ame dahewo.
And Iesus answered, and saide vnto them, Goe your wayes and shewe Iohn, what things ye haue seene and heard: that the blinde see, the halt goe, the lepers are cleansed, the deafe heare, the dead are raised, and the poore receiue the Gospel.
23 Migblɔ kpe ɖe eŋu nɛ be, ‘Woayra ame siwo xɔa dzinye sena ɖikeke manɔmee.’”
And blessed is hee, that shall not be offended in me.
24 Le ame dɔdɔwo ƒe dzodzo vɔ megbe la, Yesu ƒo nu na ameha la le Yohanes ŋuti. Ebia wo be, “Nu ka miedo go yi gbedzi be miakpɔ? Aƒla si ya le ƒoƒoma?
And when the messengers of Iohn were departed, hee began to speake vnto the people, of Iohn, What went ye out into the wildernes to see? A reede shaken with the winde?
25 Ne menye nenema o la, ekema nu kae mieyi ɖakpɔ? Ame si do awu nyuiwoea? Ao, ame siwo doa awu xɔasiwo, eye wonɔa agbe kɔkɔ la, fiasãwo mee wokpɔa wo le.
But what went ye out to see? A man clothed in soft rayment? beholde, they which are gorgeously apparelled, and liue delicately, are in Kings courtes.
26 Ekema nu ka miedo go ɖakpɔ? Nyagblɔɖila aɖea? Ɛ̃, gake mele egblɔm na mi be ewu nyagblɔɖila gɔ̃ hã.
But what went ye foorth to see? A Prophet? yea, I say to you, and greater then a Prophet.
27 Eyae nye ame si ŋu woƒo nu tsoe le mawunya me be, “‘Mele nye dɔla dɔ ge ɖa wòava do ŋgɔ na wò be, wòadzra wò mɔ la ɖo.’
This is he of whom it is written, Beholde, I sende my messenger before thy face, which shall prepare thy way before thee.
28 Le ame siwo nyɔnuwo dzi dome la, ɖeke mewu Yohanes o; gake ame suetɔ kekeake si le mawufiaɖuƒea me la kɔ wu eya amea!”
For I say vnto you, there is no greater Prophet then Iohn, among them that are begotten of women: neuerthelesse, hee that is the least in the kingdome of God, is greater then he.
29 (Ame siwo katã se Yohanes ƒe mawunyagbɔgblɔ kpɔ dometɔ aɖewo siwo nye nudzɔlawo la kpɔ ŋudzedze le Mawu ƒe ɖoɖowo ŋu, eye wona Yohanes de mawutsi ta na wo.
Then all the people that heard, and the Publicanes iustified God, being baptized with the baptisme of Iohn.
30 Farisitɔwo kple sefialawo koe gbe be yewomaxɔ ɖoɖo si Mawu wɔ na yewo la o. Ale wogbe be Yohanes made mawutsi ta na yewo o.)
But the Pharises and the expounders of the Law despised the counsell of God against themselues, and were not baptized of him.
31 Azɔ Yesu bia wo be, “Aleke magblɔ tso dzidzime sia tɔgbi ŋu? Nu ka ŋu matsɔ wo asɔ ɖo?
And the Lord saide, Whereunto shall I liken the men of this generation? and what thing are they like vnto?
32 Wole abe ɖevi siwo ƒo ƒu ɖe asi me nɔ fefem la ene. Ame siwo gblɔ na wo nɔewo be, “‘Míeku dzidzɔkpẽ na mi, ke mieɖu ɣe o; eye míedzi konyifahawo na mi, ke miefa avi hã o.’
They are like vnto litle children sitting in the market place, and crying one to another, and saying, We haue piped vnto you, and ye haue not daunced: we haue mourned to you, and ye haue not wept.
33 Yohanes Mawutsidetanamela tsia nu dɔna, eye menoa wain o, ke miegblɔ be, ‘Gbɔgbɔ vɔ̃ le eme.’
For Iohn Baptist came, neither eating bread, nor drinking wine: and ye say, He hath the deuil.
34 Ke nye Amegbetɔ Vi la, meɖua nu, noa nu, eye miawo ke miegblɔ tso ŋunye be, nutsuɖula kple ahatsunolae wònye, eye wòdea ha kple nu vɔ̃ wɔlawo.
The Sonne of man is come, and eateth and drinketh: and ye say, Beholde, a man which is a glutton, and a drinker of wine, a friend of Publicanes and sinners:
35 Miebuna be miaƒe nuwɔnawo dze, ke Mawu ƒe nuwɔnawoe nye nyateƒe le ame siwo xɔa edzi sena la gbɔ.”
But wisdome is iustified of all her children.
36 Eva eme be Farisitɔ aɖe kpe Yesu be wòava ɖu nu kple ye. Esi wonɔ kplɔ̃a ŋu la,
And one of the Pharises desired him that hee would eate with him: and hee went into the Pharises house, and sate downe at table.
37 nyɔnu nu vɔ̃ wɔla aɖe si le dua me la se be Yesu nɔ nu ɖum le Farisitɔ la ƒe aƒe me. Eyi ɖatsɔ amiʋeʋĩ xɔasi aɖe ɖe asi.
And beholde, a woman in the citie, which was a sinner, when she knewe that Iesus sate at table in the Pharises house, shee brought a boxe of oyntment.
38 Etsi tsitre ɖe Yesu ŋgɔ le eƒe afɔ nu, eye wòfa aɖatsi kɔ ɖe eƒe afɔwo dzi va se ɖe esime afɔawo ƒo tsi. Eya megbe la, etsɔ eƒe taɖa tutu Yesu ƒe afɔwoe. Azɔ egbugbɔ afɔawo, eye wòʋu nu le amiʋeʋĩ la nu hesi na wo.
And shee stoode at his feete behinde him weeping, and began to wash his feete with teares, and did wipe them with the heares of her head, and kissed his feete, and anoynted them with the oyntment.
39 Farisitɔ si kpe Yesu la kpɔ nu si nɔ edzi yim, eye esi wòdze si ame si ƒomevi nyɔnu sia nye ta la, egblɔ le eɖokui me be, “Esia fia be Yesu menye nyagblɔɖila aɖeke o, elabena nenye be Mawue dɔe vavã la, anya ame si ƒomevi nyɔnu sia nye; elabena nu vɔ̃ wɔla wònye.”
Nowe when the Pharise which bade him, saw it, he spake within himselfe, saying, If this man were a Prophet, hee woulde surely haue knowen who, and what maner of woman this is which toucheth him: for she is a sinner.
40 Yesu nya nu si bum Farisitɔ la nɔ, eya ta eyɔe be, “Simɔn, nya aɖe le asinye medi be magblɔ na wò.” Simɔn gblɔ nɛ be, “Enyo, Nufiala, gblɔe mase.”
And Iesus answered, and saide vnto him, Simon, I haue somewhat to say vnto thee. And he said, Master, say on.
41 Yesu gblɔ ŋutinya sia nɛ be, “Ŋutsu aɖe do ga sidi akpe ewo na ame aɖe, eye wòdo sidi akpe ɖeka na ame bubu.
There was a certaine lender which had two detters: the one ought fiue hundreth pence, and the other fiftie:
42 Wo dometɔ aɖeke mete ŋu xe fea o, ale wòtsɔ ga la ke wo ame evea. Ame kae nèbu be alɔ̃ gadola sia ƒe nya gbɔ wu?”
When they had nothing to pay, he forgaue them both: Which of them therefore, tell mee, will loue him most?
43 Simɔn ɖo eŋu be, “Mebu be ame si wòtsɔ ga home gãtɔ kee lae alɔ̃e wu.” Yesu gblɔ nɛ be, “Pɛ, èɖo nyaa ŋu nyuie ŋutɔ.”
Simon answered, and said, I suppose that he, to whom he forgaue most. And he said vnto him, Thou hast truely iudged.
44 Azɔ Yesu trɔ ɖe nyɔnu la ŋu, eye wògblɔ na Simɔn be, “Èle nyɔnu sia kpɔma? Esi meva aƒewò me la, mèna tsim be maklɔ ɖi le nye afɔwo ŋu o, ke nyɔnu sia klɔ wo kple eƒe aɖatsiwo, eye wòtsɔ eƒe taɖa tutu woe.
Then he turned to the woman, and said vnto Simon, Seest thou this woman? I entred into thine house, and thou gauest mee no water to my feete: but she hath washed my feete with teares, and wiped them with the heares of her head.
45 Le mía dekɔnu nu la, ne míebe míado gbe na ame aɖe la, míegbugbɔa nu nɛ. Wò la, mèwɔe nam o, gake nyɔnu sia gbugbɔ nye afɔwo zi geɖe tso esi meva afi sia.
Thou gauest me no kisse: but she, since the time I came in, hath not ceased to kisse my feete.
46 Mèsi ami ɖe ta nam o; ke eya tsɔ ami si ɖe nye afɔwo ŋuti.
Mine head with oyle thou didest not anoint: but she hath anoynted my feete with oyntment.
47 Le esia ta la, see be lɔlɔ̃ gã si wòɖe fia la fia be wotsɔ eƒe nu vɔ̃ geɖe siwo wòwɔ la kee. Ke ame si wotsɔ nu vɔ̃ ʋɛ aɖe ko kee la ɖea lɔlɔ̃ ʋɛ aɖe ko fiana.”
Wherefore I say vnto thee, many sinnes are forgiuen her: for she loued much. To whom a litle is forgiuen, he doeth loue a litle.
48 Yesu gblɔ na nyɔnu la azɔ be, “Wotsɔ wò nu vɔ̃wo ke wò.”
And he saide vnto her, Thy sinnes are forgiuen thee.
49 Ame siwo nɔ kplɔ̃a ŋu kplii la gblɔ na wo nɔewo be, “Ame kae nye esia, si tsɔa nu vɔ̃wo hã kena mahã?”
And they that sate at table with him, began to say within themselues, Who is this that euen forgiueth sinnes?
50 Yesu gagblɔ na nyɔnu la be, “Wò xɔse ɖe wò, heyi le ŋutifafa me.”
And he said to the woman, Thy faith hath saued thee: goe in peace.
