Luk 13
1 Mgbe ahụ, ụfọdụ ndị nọ nʼebe ahụ gwara ya banyere ndị Galili ahụ Pailet jiri ọbara ha gwakọta nʼaja ha chụrụ.
There were present at the same time, some that told Him of the Galileans, whose blood Pilate had mingled with their sacrifices.
2 Ọ zara sị ha, “Unu chere na ndị Galili a tara ụdị ahụhụ a bụ ndị mmehie karịa ndị Galili niile?
And Jesus answering said unto them, Do ye think that these were sinners above all the Galileans, because they suffered such things?
3 Mba! Asị m unu, ọ bụrụ na unu echegharịghị, unu niile ga-esi otu ahụ laa nʼiyi.
I tell you, No: but, unless ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish.
4 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?
Or those eighteen, upon whom the tower in Siloam fell, and killed them, do ye think that they were sinners above all the inhabitants in Jerusalem?
5 Mba! Asị m unu, ọ bụrụ na unu echegharịghị, unu niile ga-ala nʼiyi dị ka ha.”
I tell you, No: but, unless ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish.
6 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.
And He spake this parable, A certain man had a fig-tree planted in his vineyard, and he came seeking fruit on it, but found none.
7 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?’
And he said to the vine-dresser, behold, these three years I come seeking fruit on this fig-tree, and find none: cut it down, why should it cumber the ground?
8 “Ọ zara sị ya, ‘Nna m ukwu, hapụkwa ya nʼafọ a, ka m gwuo ala gburugburu, hinye ya aja nri ala nʼukwu.
And he said to him, Sir, let it alone this year also, till I dig about it, and lay dung to it:
9 Ọ bụrụ na ọ mịa mkpụrụ nʼafọ ọzọ, ọ dị mma, ọ bụrụkwa na ọ mịghị, i nwere ike gbutuo ya.’”
then perhaps it may bear fruit; if not, afterwards cut it down.
10 Nʼụbọchị izuike ndị Juu, ọ banyere nʼime otu ụlọ ekpere na-ezi ihe.
And when He was teaching in one of the synagogues on the sabbath-day,
11 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.
there was a woman that had a spirit of infirmity eighteen years, and was bowed together, and utterly unable to lift herself upright.
12 Mgbe Jisọs hụrụ ya, ọ kpọrọ ya sị ya, “Nwanyị emeela ka i nwere onwe gị site nʼọrịa gị.”
And when Jesus saw her, He called her to Him, and said to her, Woman, thou art loosed from thine infirmity.
13 Mgbe o bikwasịrị ya aka, ngwangwa, o guzooro kwem malite na-eto Chineke.
And He laid his hands upon her; and immediately she was made straight, and glorified God.
14 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.”
But the ruler of the synagogue, being provoked that Jesus had wrought a cure on the sabbath-day, said to the people, There are six days in which ye ought to work; on these therefore come and be healed, and not on the sabbath-day.
15 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?
The Lord therefore answered him and said, Thou hypocrite, does not any of you on the sabbath loose his ox or his ass from the stall and lead him away to watering?
16 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?”
And might not this woman, a daughter of Abraham, whom Satan hath bound these eighteen years, be loosed from this bond on the sabbath-day?
17 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.
Upon his saying this, all his adversaries were ashamed: but the people rejoiced for all the glorious things that were done by Him.
18 Ya mere, ọ na-ekwu sị, “Gịnị ka alaeze Chineke yiri? Gịnịkwa ka m ga-eji tụnyere ya?
Then said He, To what is the kingdom of God like, and to what shall I compare it?
19 O yiri mkpụrụ mọstaadị nke mmadụ kụrụ nʼubi ya a gbara ogige. O toro ghọọ osisi, nke ụmụ nnụnụ na-ezukwa ike nʼalaka ya.”
It is like a grain of mustard-seed, which a man took and sowed in his garden, and it grew, and became a great tree, and the birds of the air lodged in it's boughs.
20 Ọzọ, ọ sịrị, “Gịnị ka m ga-eji tụnyere alaeze Chineke?
And again He said, To what shall I compare the kingdom of God?
21 Ọ dị ka ihe na-eko achịchanke nwanyị gwakọtara na ọtụtụ atọ nke ụtụ ọka, tutu ruo mgbe o koro ụtụ ọka ahụ niile.”
It is like leaven, which a woman took and put into three measures of meal, till the whole was leavened.
22 O jegharịrị nʼobodo ukwu na nʼobodo nta niile na-ezi ihe, ka ọ na-aga Jerusalem.
And he went through the cities and villages teaching, as He journeyed towards Jerusalem.
23 Otu onye sịrị ya, “Onyenwe m, ndị a ga-azọpụta ha ga-adị ole na ole?” Ọ sịrị ha,
And one said to Him, Lord, are there but few that shall be saved?
24 “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.
But He said unto them, Strive to enter in at the strait gate; for I tell you, many will desire to enter in, and shall not be able.
25 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.’
When the master of the house shall have risen up and shut the door, and ye begin to stand without and knock at the door saying, Lord, Lord, open unto us; and He shall answer and say to you, I know you not, whence ye are:
26 “Nʼoge ahụ, unu ga-asị, ‘Anyị na gị rikọrọ, ṅụkọkwaa, ị kuzikwara nkuzi nʼogbe anyị.’
then shall ye begin to say, We have eaten and drank in thy presence,
27 “Ma ọ ga-asị, ‘Amaghị m ebe unu siri bịa. Pụọnụ nʼihu m, unu ndị ajọ omume.’
and thou hast taught in our streets, But He will say, I tell you, I know you not, whence ye are; depart from me all ye workers of iniquity:
28 “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.
and there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth, when ye see Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob, and all the prophets in the kingdom of God, and you yourselves shut out.
29 Ndị mmadụ ga-esite nʼọwụwa anyanwụ, nakwa ọdịda anyanwụ, na nʼugwu na ndịda nke ụwa bịa nọdụ nʼoriri nʼime alaeze Chineke.
Yea they shall come from the east, and from the west, and from the north, and from the south, and shall sit down in the kingdom of God.
30 Ma lee, ndị bu ụzọ ga-aghọ ndị ikpeazụ, ma ndị ikpeazụ ga-aghọ ndị bu ụzọ.”
And behold, there are some last who shall be first, and there are first that shall be last.
31 Nʼoge awa ahụ, ụfọdụ ndị Farisii bịakwutere ya sị ya, “Si nʼebe a pụọ, nʼihi na Herọd na-achọ igbu gị.”
At the same time came some of the pharisees, and said to Him, Go out and depart hence, for Herod intends to kill thee.
32 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.
And He said to them, Go, tell that fox, Behold, I cast out demons and perform cures today and to-morrow; and in a little while I am to be perfected:
33 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.
but I must procede to-day and to-morrow and the following; for it cannot be supposed that a prophet should be cut off but in Jerusalem.
34 “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.
O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, that killest the prophets and stonest them that are sent unto thee, how often would I have gathered thy children, as a hen gathers her brood under her wings, and ye would not?
35 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.’”
Behold, your house is left unto you desolate: and I assure you ye shall not see me again till the time come when ye shall say, Blessed is He that cometh in the name of the Lord.
