Luk 10
1 Mgbe nke a gasịrị, Onyenwe anyị họpụtara iri mmadụ asaa na abụọ ndị ọzọ, zipụ ha mmadụ abụọ abụọ ka ha buru ya ụzọ gaa nʼobodo niile nakwa ebe niile ọ na-achọ ịga.
Now after these things, the Lord made selection of seventy others and sent them before him, two together, into every town and place where he himself was about to come.
2 Ọ sịrị ha, “Owuwe ihe ubi dị ukwuu ma ndị ọrụ dị naanị ole na ole. Ya mere, rịọọnụ Onyenwe owuwe ihe ubi ka o zite ndị ọrụ nʼowuwe ihe ubi ya.
And he said to them, There is much grain ready to be cut, but not enough workers: so make prayer to the Lord of the grain-fields that he will send workers to get in the grain.
3 Gaanụ! Ma lee, ana m ezipu unu dị ka ụmụ atụrụ nʼetiti agụ.
Go on your way: see, I send you out like lambs among wolves.
4 Unu ewerekwala ego maọbụ akpa maọbụ akpụkpọụkwụ. Unu ekelekwala onye ọbụla nʼụzọ.
Take no bag for money or for food, and no shoes; say no word to any man on the way.
5 “Mgbe unu banyere nʼụlọ ọbụla, burunu ụzọ sị, ‘Udo dịrị nʼụlọ a.’
And whenever you go into a house, first say, Peace be to this house.
6 Ọ bụrụ na mmadụ udo bi nʼụlọ ahụ, udo unu ga-adịnyekwara ya. Ọ bụrụkwanụ na onye bi nʼụlọ ahụ abụghị onye udo, udo unu ji bịa ga-alọghachitekwara unu.
And if a son of peace is there, your peace will be with him: but if not, it will come back to you again.
7 Nọgidenụ nʼebe ahụ, na-erinụ ma na-aṅụkwanụ ihe ọbụla ha nyere unu, nʼihi na onye ọrụ kwesiri ịnata ụgwọ ọrụ ya. Unu esitela nʼotu ụlọ gaa nʼụlọ ọzọ.
And keep in that same house, taking what food and drink they give you: for the worker has a right to his reward. Do not go from house to house.
8 “Ọ bụrụ na ndị bi nʼobodo unu batara anabata unu, rienụ ihe ọbụla ha nyere unu.
And into whatever town you go, if they take you in, take whatever food is given to you:
9 Gwọọnụ ndị ọrịa nọ nʼebe ahụ, gwakwanụ ha sị, ‘Alaeze Chineke adịla unu nso.’
And make well those in it who are ill and say to them, The kingdom of God is near to you.
10 Ma mgbe unu banyere nʼobodo ọbụla ha jụ ịnabata unu, pụọnụ gaa nʼokporoụzọ ya kwuo sị,
But if you go into a town where they will not have you, go out into the streets of it and say,
11 ‘Ọ bụladị aja si nʼobodo a nke nyapagidere nʼụkwụ anyị, anyị na-ehichapụ ya ka ọ bụrụ ihe ịdọ aka ntị nye gị. Otu ọ dị, matakwanụ nke a, na alaeze Chineke dị nso.’
Even the dust of your town, which is on our feet, we put off as a witness against you; but be certain of this, that the kingdom of God is near.
12 Ana m agwa unu na nʼụbọchị ahụ, ga-akara Sọdọm mma karịa obodo ahụ.
I say to you, It will be better in that day for Sodom than for that town.
13 “Ahụhụ ga-adịrị gị Korazin. Ahụhụ ga-adịrị gị Betsaida. Nʼihi na ọ bụrụ na ọrụ ebube a rụrụ nʼime unu ka a rụrụ na Taịa na Saịdọn ha gaara echegharị ogologo oge, nọdụ nʼakwa mkpe na ntụ.
A curse is on you, Chorazin! A curse is on you, Beth-saida! For if such works of power had been done in Tyre and Sidon as have been done in you, they would have been turned from their sins, in days gone by, seated in the dust.
14 Ọ ga-akara Taịa na Saịdọn mma nʼụbọchị ikpe karịa unu.
But it will be better for Tyre and Sidon, in the day of judging, than for you.
15 Ma gị Kapanọm! Ị na-eche na a ga-ebuli gị elu ruo eluigwe? Mba! Ị ga-arịda nʼala mmụọ! (Hadēs g86)
And you, Capernaum, were you not lifted up to heaven? you will go down to hell. (Hadēs g86)
16 “Onye ọbụla gere unu ntị, ọ bụ mụ ka o gere ntị. Onye ọbụla jụrụ ịnabata unu, ọ bụ mụ ka ọ jụrụ ịnabata. Onye ọbụla jụrụ ịnabata m jụrụ ịnabata onye zitere m.”
Whoever gives ear to you, gives ear to me; and whoever is against you, is against me; and whoever is against me, is against him who sent me.
17 Iri mmadụ asaa na abụọ ahụ jiri ọṅụ lọta sị, “Onyenwe anyị, nʼaha gị, ọ bụladị ndị mmụọ ọjọọ rubeere anyị isi.”
And the seventy came back with joy, saying, Lord, even the evil spirits are under our power in your name.
18 Ọ sịrị ha, “Ahụrụ m ekwensu ka o si nʼeluigwe daa dị ka amụma.
And he said, I was watching for Satan, falling from heaven like a star.
19 Lee! Enyela m unu ikike ịzọkwasị agwọ na akpị ụkwụ, na imegide ike niile nke onye iro; ọ dịghị ihe ọbụla ga-emerụ unu ahụ.
See, I have given you power to put your feet on snakes and evil beasts, and over all the strength of him who is against you: and nothing will do you damage.
20 Otu ọ dị, unu aṅụrịla ọṅụ nʼihi na mmụọ ọjọọ rubere unu isi, kama ṅụrịanụ ọṅụ nʼihi na e deela aha unu nʼeluigwe.”
Do not be glad, however, because you have power over spirits, but because your names are recorded in heaven.
21 Nʼotu oge ahụ, o jupụtara nʼọṅụ nke Mmụọ Nsọ kwuo sị, “Nna, Onyenwe eluigwe na ụwa, ana m ekele gị nʼihi na ị zonarịrị ihe ndị a nʼebe ndị ọkachamara na ndị nwere amamihe nọ, ma ị kpughere ihe ndị a niile nye ụmụntakịrị. E, Nna, otu a ka o si masị uche gị ime ya.
In that same hour he was full of joy in the Holy Spirit and said, I give praise to you, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because you have kept these things secret from the wise and the men of learning, and have made them clear to little children: for so, O Father, it was pleasing in your eyes.
22 “Nna m enyefeela m ihe niile nʼaka. Ọ dịghị onye maara onye Ọkpara ahụ bụ, karịa Nna ahụ. Ọ dịkwaghị onye maara Nna ahụ karịa Ọkpara na ndị ahụ Ọkpara chọrọ igosi onye Nna ya bụ.”
All things have been given to me by my Father: and no one has knowledge of the Son, but only the Father: and of the Father, but only the Son, and he to whom the Son will make it clear.
23 Mgbe ahụ ọ tụgharịrị gwa ndị na-eso ụzọ ya na nzuzo sị, “Ngọzị na-adịrị anya nke na-ahụ ihe unu na-ahụ ugbu a.
And, turning to the disciples, he said privately, Happy are the eyes which see the things you see:
24 Ana m asị unu, na ọtụtụ ndị amụma na ndị eze ka ọ gụrụ agụụ ịhụ ihe unu na-ahụ ma ha ahụghị ya, na ịnụ ihe unu na-anụ, ma ha anụghị ya.”
For I say to you that numbers of prophets and kings have had a desire to see the things which you see, and have not seen them, and to have knowledge of the things which have come to your ears, and they had it not.
25 Otu ụbọchị, otu onye ozizi iwu biliri ịnwale ya. Ọ jụrụ ya, “Onye ozizi, gịnị ka m kwesiri ime ka m keta ndụ ebighị ebi?” (aiōnios g166)
And a certain teacher of the law got up and put him to the test, saying, Master, what have I to do so that I may have eternal life? (aiōnios g166)
26 Ọ sịrị ya, “Gịnị ka e dere nʼiwu? Gịnị ka ị gụtara nʼime ya?”
And he said to him, What does the law say, in your reading of it?
27 Ọ zara sị, “‘Ị ga-eji obi gị niile, na mkpụrụobi gị niile, na ike gị niile, na uche gị niile, hụ Onyenwe anyị bụ Chineke gị nʼanya’; ma ‘hụkwa onye agbataobi gị nʼanya dị ka onwe gị.’”
And he, answering, said, Have love for the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength and with all your mind; and for your neighbour as for yourself.
28 Ọ sịrị ya, “Ị zara nke ọma. Gaa mee nke a ị ga-adị ndụ.”
And he said, You have given the right answer: do this and you will have life.
29 Ma iji gosi na ya bụ onye na-eme ihe ziri ezi, ọ sịrị Jisọs, “Onye kwanụ bụ onye agbataobi m?”
But he, desiring to put himself in the right, said to Jesus, And who is my neighbour?
30 Jisọs sịrị ya, “Otu nwoke sitere Jerusalem na-aga Jeriko, ọ dabara nʼaka ndị ohi, ndị gbara ya ọtọ, tiekwa ya ihe, hapụ ya nʼọnọdụ ọdịndụ-ọnwụkamma laa.
And Jesus, answering him, said, A certain man was going down from Jerusalem to Jericho, and he got into the hands of thieves, who took his clothing and gave him cruel blows, and when they went away, he was half dead.
31 Ma dị ka ihe si eme, otu onye nchụaja sitere ụzọ ahụ na-agafe. Mgbe ọ hụrụ ya, o sitere nʼakụkụ ụzọ nke ọzọ gafee.
And by chance a certain priest was going down that way: and when he saw him, he went by on the other side.
32 Otu a kwa, otu onye Livayị bịarutekwara nʼebe ahụ, hụ ya, ma o sitere nʼakụkụ ụzọ nke ọzọ gafeekwa.
And in the same way, a Levite, when he came to the place and saw him, went by on the other side.
33 Ma otu onye Sameria na-aga njem, mgbe ọ bịarutere nso nʼebe ahụ; hụ ya, o nwere ọmịiko nʼahụ ya.
But a certain man of Samaria, journeying that way, came where he was, and when he saw him, he was moved with pity for him,
34 Ọ gara nso nʼebe ọ nọ, jiri mmanya na mmanụ wụsa nʼọnya ya, were akwa kechie ya. Ọ tụkwasịrị ya nʼelu ịnyịnya ibu ya, buba ya nʼụlọ ndị ije ebe o lekọtara ya anya nke ọma.
And came to him and put clean linen round his wounds, with oil and wine; and he put him on his beast and took him to a house and took care of him.
35 Nʼechi ya, o wepụtara mkpụrụ ego ọlaọcha abụọ nye onye na-elekọta ụlọ ndị ije ahụ sị ya, ‘Lezie ya anya nke ọma. M lọta aga m akwụghachi gị ihe ọbụla ọzọ i mefuru.’
And the day after he took two pennies and gave them to the owner of the house and said, Take care of him; and if this money is not enough, when I come again I will give you whatever more is needed.
36 “Onye nʼime mmadụ atọ ndị a ka i chere bụ onye gosiri onwe ya dị ka onye agbataobi nye nwoke ahụ nke dabara nʼaka ndị ohi?”
Which of these three men, in your opinion, was neighbour to the man who came into the hands of thieves?
37 Ọ sịrị, “Ọ bụ onye ahụ meere ya ebere.” Jisọs sịrị ya, “Laa, gaa mee otu ahụ.”
And he said, The one who had mercy on him. And Jesus said, Go and do the same.
38 Mgbe ha na-aga nʼụzọ, ọ banyere nʼotu obodo nta ebe nwanyị a na-akpọ Mata nabatara ya nʼụlọ ya.
Now, while they were on their way, he came to a certain town; and a woman named Martha took him into her house.
39 O nwere nwanne nwanyị a na-akpọ Meri nke nọdụrụ ala nʼụkwụ Onyenwe anyị na-ege ntị nʼihe ọ na-ekwu.
And she had a sister, by name Mary, who took her seat at the Lord's feet and gave attention to his words.
40 Ma uche Mata gbasasịrị agbasa ebe ọ na-akwado maka ile ọbịa. Ọ bịakwutere ya sị ya, “Onyenwe anyị, ọ bụ na o metụghị gị nʼobi na nwanne m nwanyị hapụrụ naanị m ije ozi niile? Gwa ya ka ọ bịa nyere m aka.”
But Martha had her hands full of the work of the house, and she came to him and said, Lord, is it nothing to you that my sister has let me do all the work? Say to her that she is to give me some help.
41 Ma Onyenwe anyị zara ya sị, “Mata, Mata, ị na-echegbu onwe gị ma na-adọgbukwa onwe gị banyere ọtụtụ ihe,
But the Lord, answering, said to her, Martha, Martha, you are full of care and troubled about such a number of things:
42 maọbụ naanị otu ihe dị mkpa, Meri ahọrọla nke ka mma, nke a na-agaghị anapụkwa ya.”
Little is needed, or even one thing only: for Mary has taken that good part, which will not be taken away from her.
