Luk 7
1 Mgbe o kwusiri okwu ndị a nye ndị na-ege ya ntị, ọ banyere na Kapanọm.
After he had completed all his sayings within the hearing of the people, he entered into Capernaum.
2 Ma e nwere otu ọchịagha nke nwere otu ohu nwoke ọ hụrụ nʼanya. Onye nọ nʼọrịa na nʼọnụ ọnwụ.
And, a certain centurion’s servant, being sick, was on the point of dying, —who was, by him, highly prized.
3 Mgbe ọ nụrụ ihe banyere Jisọs, o zipụrụ ụfọdụ ndị okenye ndị Juu ka ha gaa rịọrọ ya ka ọ bịa gwọọ ohu ya.
But, hearing about Jesus, he sent forth unto him elders of the Jews, requesting him that he would come and bring his servant safely through.
4 Mgbe ha bịakwutere Jisọs, ha rịọsiri ya arịrịọ ike sị, “O kwesiri ka i mere ya ihe a.
And, they, coming near unto Jesus, began beseeching him earnestly, saying—Worthy, is he for whom thou mayest do this,
5 Nʼihi na ọ hụrụ obodo anyị nʼanya. O wukwaara anyị ụlọ ekpere.”
for he loveth our nation, and, the synagogue, he, built for us.
6 Jisọs sooro ha gawa. Ma mgbe ọ nọ nso nʼụlọ ya, onye ọchịagha ahụ zipụrụ ndị enyi ya ka ha ga sị ya, “Onyenwe anyị, esogbukwala onwe gị, nʼihi na etorughị m ka ị bata nʼokpuru ụlọ m.
And, Jesus, was journeying with them. But, he, by this time, being not far from the house, the centurion sent friends, saying unto him—Lord! do not trouble thyself, for I am of no consideration, that, under my roof, thou shouldst enter.
7 Ọ bụ ya mere na-echeghị m na m toruru ịpụta bịa zute gị. Ma kwuo okwu, ọ ga-agwọkwa odibo m.
Wherefore, neither deemed I, myself, worthy to come unto thee, —but speak with a word, and let my servant be healed.
8 Nʼihi na mụ onwe m bụkwa onye nọ nʼokpuru ikike ọchịchị, nwee ndị agha nọ nʼokpuru m. Ana m asị onye nke a ‘gaa,’ ọ gaa, sịkwa onye nke ọzọ ‘bịa,’ Ọ bịa. Ana m asị ohu m, ‘mee nke a,’ ọ na-emekwa ya.”
For, I too, am a man ranked, under authority, having, under myself, 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 it.
9 Mgbe Jisọs nụrụ okwu niile a, o juru ya anya nke ukwuu. Ọ tụgharịrị gwa igwe mmadụ ndị na-eso ya sị, “Asị m unu, ahụbeghị m okwukwe dị otu a ọ bụladị nʼIzrel.”
And, hearing these things, Jesus marvelled at him; and, turning to the multitude following him, said—I tell you, Not even in Israel, such faith as this, have I found!
10 Mgbe ndị ozi ahụ laghachiri nʼụlọ, ha chọpụtara na ahụ adịla ohu ahụ mma.
And they who were sent, returning unto the house, found the servant, well.
11 O ruo mgbe nwa oge gasịrị, ọ gara nʼobodo a na-akpọ Nain. Ndị na-eso ụzọ ya na ọtụtụ igwe mmadụ ndị ọzọ sooro ya gaa.
And it came to pass thereafter, that he journeyed unto a city called Nain, and there were journeying with him, his disciples and a great multitude.
12 Mgbe ọ na-abịaru nso nʼọnụ ụzọ e si abata nʼobodo ahụ, o nwere otu nwoke nwụrụ anwụ nke a na-ebupụ, otu nwa nke nne ya mụrụ. Nne ya ahụ bụ nwanyị di ya nwụrụ, oke igwe mmadụ si nʼobodo ahụ sonyekwara ya.
Now, as he drew near unto the gate of the city, then lo! there was being brought forth, one dead, the only-begotten son of his mother, —and, she, was a widow; and, a considerable multitude of the city, was with her.
13 Mgbe Onyenwe anyị hụrụ ya, o meere ya obi ebere ma sị ya, “Ebela akwa.”
And, beholding her, the Lord, was moved with compassion over her, and said to her—Be not weeping!
14 Mgbe ahụ ọ gara nso metụ igbe ozu ahụ aka, ndị bu ya kwụsịrị. Ọ sịrị, “Nwokorobịa, asị m gị bilie!”
And, going forward, he touched the coffin, and the bearers stood still; and he said—Young man! to thee, I say, Arise!
15 Nwoke ahụ nwụrụ anwụ biliri, nọdụ ala, bido ikwu okwu, ọ kpọnyere ya nne ya.
And the dead man sat up, and began to speak; and he gave him to his mother.
16 Egwu tụrụ ha niile, ha tokwara Chineke sị, “Onye amụma dị ukwuu apụtala nʼetiti anyị, Chineke abịala inyere ndị ya aka!”
And fear seized them, all, and they began to glorify God, saying—A great prophet, hath been raised up amongst us! and—God hath visited his people!
17 Akụkọ a banyere ya ruru Judịa niile na obodo nta niile gbara ya gburugburu.
And this report went forth throughout the whole of Judaea, and all the surrounding country.
18 Ndị na-eso ụzọ Jọn kọọrọ ya maka ihe ndị a niile. Jọn kpọrọ mmadụ abụọ nʼime ndị na-eso ụzọ ya,
And John’s disciples carried tidings unto him concerning all these things.
19 zie ha ka ha jekwuru Onyenwe anyị jụọ ya ajụjụ sị, “Ọ bụ gị bụ onye ahụ ga-abịa. Ka anyị ga-ele anya ọbịbịa onye ọzọ?”
And, calling unto him certain two of his disciples, John sent unto the Lord, saying—Art, thou, the Coming One, or, a different one, are we to expect?
20 Mgbe ụmụ nwoke ahụ bịakwutere ya, ha sịrị, “Jọn omee baptizim ziri anyị ka anyị jụọ gị sị, ‘Ọ bụ gị bụ onye ahụ ga-abịa ka anyị ga-ele anya ọbịbịa onye ọzọ?’”
And, coming near unto him, the men said—John the Immerser, hath sent us unto thee, saying, Art, thou, the Coming One, or, another, are we to expect?
21 Mgbe ahụ ọ gwọrọ ọtụtụ ndị nwere ọrịa, na nrịa nrịa dị iche iche, na mmụọ ọjọọ. O mekwara ka ọtụtụ ndị kpuru ìsì hụ ụzọ ọzọ.
In that very hour, he cured many from diseases, and plagues, and wicked spirits; and, unto many blind, gave he the favour to see.
22 Ọ zaghachiri ndị ozi ahụ sị, “Laghachinụ azụ gaa kọrọ Jọn ihe unu hụrụ na nke unu nụrụ; ndị kpuru ìsì na-ahụ ụzọ, ndị ngwụrọ na-aga ije, ndị ekpenta ka a na-eme ka ha dị ọcha, ndị ntị chiri na-anụ ihe, a na-eme ka ndị nwụrụ anwụ si nʼọnwụ bilie, a na-ezisara ndị ogbenye oziọma.
And, answering, he said unto them—Go and bear tidings unto John, as to what ye have seen and heard: The blind, are receiving sight, the lame, walk, lepers, are cleansed, and, the deaf, hear, the dead, are raised, the destitute, are told the glad-message;
23 Ngọzị na-adịrị onye ahụ na-enweghị ihe mkpasu iwe nʼihi m.”
And, happy, is he, whosoever shall not find occasion of stumbling in me!
24 Mgbe ndị na-eso ụzọ Jọn pụrụ, Jisọs bidoro ịgwa igwe mmadụ ahụ okwu banyere Jọn sị, “Gịnị ka unu gara nʼọzara ịhụ? Ọ bụ ahịhịa achara nke ikuku na-ebugharị?
And, the messengers of John having departed, he began to say unto the multitudes, concerning John—What went ye forth into the desert to gaze at? A reed, by a wind, shaken?
25 Ma gịnị ka unu pụrụ ịga ịhụ? Ọ bụ nwoke yi uwe mara mma? E e, ndị na-eyi uwe dị oke ọnụahịa, ndị na-ebikwa nʼoke oriri na oke ọṅụṅụ bi nʼụlọeze.
But what went ye forth to see? A man, in soft garments, arrayed? Lo! they who in splendid apparel and luxury are found, are, in the kingly courts.
26 Ma gịnị ka unu pụrụ ka unu ga-ahụ? Ọ bụ onye amụma? E, ana m a gwa unu, unu hụrụ onye karịrị onye amụma.
But what went ye forth to see? A prophet? Yea! I say unto you, —and abundantly more than a prophet.
27 Ọ bụ onye a bụ onye ahụ e dere ihe banyere ya sị, “‘Aga m ezipu onyeozi m nʼihu gị, onye ga-edozi ụzọ gị nʼihu gị.’
This, is he concerning whom it is written—Lo! I am sending forth my messenger before thy face, who shall prepare thy way before thee.
28 Agwa m unu, nʼetiti ndị nwanyị mụrụ, ọ dịghị onye dị ukwuu karịa Jọn, ma onye dịkarịsịrị nta nʼalaeze Chineke dị ukwuu karịa ya.”
I say unto you—A greater, among them that are born of women, than John, is there none; but, he that is least in the kingdom of God, is greater than he.
29 (Ndị mmadụ niile nụrụ nke a, tinyekwara ndị ọna ụtụ, nabatara nʼụzọ Chineke bụ nke ziri ezi, nʼihi na Jọn emela ha baptizim.
And, all the people, when they heard, and the tax-collectors, justified God, having been immersed with the immersion of John;
30 Ma ndị Farisii na ndị ozizi iwu jụrụ imezu ebumnobi Chineke nye ha onwe ha, nʼihi na ha anabataghị ka Jọn mee ha baptizim.)
but, the Pharisees and the lawyers, had set aside, the counsel of God against themselves, not being immersed by him.
31 Ọ gara nʼihu sị ha, “Ma gịnị ka m ga-eji tụnyere ndị bi nʼọgbọ a? Gịnị ka ha yiri?
Unto what, then, shall I liken the men of this generation? And unto what are they like?
32 Ha dị ka ụmụntakịrị nọ nʼọma ahịa na-akpọ ibe ha oku na-asị, “‘Anyị gburu unu ọja, ma unu adịghị ete egwu. Anyị bụrụ abụ ịkwa ozu, ma unu ebeghị akwa.’
They are like unto the children sitting, in a market-place, and calling one to another, who say—We played the flute for you, and ye danced not, We wailed, and ye wept not.
33 Nʼihi na Jọn omee baptizim bịara na-erighị achịcha maọbụ ṅụọ ihe ọṅụṅụ ma unu sịrị, ‘Mmụọ ọjọọ bi nʼime ya.’
For John the Immerser hath come, neither eating bread nor drinking wine, and ye say—A demon, he hath:
34 Nwa nke Mmadụ bịara na-eri ihe oriri na-aṅụkwa ihe ọṅụṅụ, ma unu sịrị, ‘Lee, onye oke oriri na onye oke aṅụmaṅụ, enyi ndị ọna ụtụ na ndị mmehie.’
The Son of Man hath come, eating and drinking, and ye say—Lo! a man, gluttonous and a wine-drinker, a friend of tax-collectors and sinners.
35 Ma e sitela nʼụmụ ya niile nwapụta amamihe nʼonye ziri ezi.”
And yet wisdom hath been justified by all her children.
36 Otu onye nʼime ndị Farisii kpọrọ ya oriri. Ọ gara nʼụlọ onye Farisii ahụ, ma nọdụ ala nʼoche nri.
And a certain one of the Pharisees was requesting him, that he would eat with him; and, entering into the house of the Pharisee, he reclined.
37 Ma otu nwanyị nke bi nʼobodo ahụ, onye birila ndụ mmehie, mgbe ọ matara na ọ nọ nʼụlọ onye Farisii ahụ na-eri nri, o jiri otu karama alabasta mmanụ otite bata nʼụlọ ahụ.
And, lo! a woman, who indeed was in the city a sinner; and, when she found out that he was reclining in the house of the Pharisee, providing an alabaster-jar of perfume,
38 Ka o guzoro nʼazụ ụkwụ ya na-ebe akwa, ọ malitere iji anya mmiri ya na-awụsa nʼụkwụ ya. O jiri agịrị isi ya hichaa anya mmiri ahụ, sutu ụkwụ ya ọnụ, ma wụsa mmanụ otite isi ụtọ ahụ na ha.
and standing behind, near his feet, weeping, with the tears, began she to be wetting his feet, and, with the hair of her head, was wiping off [the tears], and was tenderly kissing his feet, and anointing them with the perfume.
39 Mgbe onye Farisii ahụ kpọrọ ya oriri hụrụ ihe nke a, o kwuru nʼobi ya sị, “A sị na nwoke a bụ onye amụma, ọ gaara amata ụdị mmadụ nwanyị a na-emetụ ya aka bụ, na ọ bụ onye mmehie.”
But the Pharisee who had invited him, seeing it, spake within himself, saying, This one, if he were the prophet, would have been taking note, who and of what sort, is the woman, who is even touching him, that she is, a sinner.
40 Jisọs zara ya sị, “Saimọn, e nwere m ihe m chọrọ ịgwa gị.” Ọ sịrị ya, “Onye ozizi gwa m ya.”
And, making answer, Jesus said unto him—Simon! I have, unto thee, something to say. He, then—Teacher, speak!—saith he.
41 “Ndị ikom abụọ ji onye na-ebinye ndị mmadụ ego nʼọmụrụnwa ụgwọ. Otu onye ji ya narị ego ise, onye nke ọzọ ji ya iri ego ise.
Two debtors, there were, to a certain creditor, —the one, owed five hundred denaries, and, the other, fifty.
42 Mgbe ha na-enweghị ike ịkwụghachi ụgwọ ha ji ya, ọ gbaghara ha ụgwọ ahụ. Ugbu a, onye nʼime ha ga-ahụ ya nʼanya karịa?”
they not having wherewith to pay, he forgave, both. Which of them, therefore, will love him, more?
43 Saimọn zara sị, “Ọ dị m ka ọ bụ onye nke ọ gbaghara ụgwọ dị ukwuu.” Ọ sịrị ya, “Ị kpeziri.”
Making answer, Simon said—I suppose, that he to whom, the more, he forgave. And, he, said unto him—Rightly, hast thou judged.
44 Mgbe ahụ ọ tụgharịrị nʼebe nwanyị ahụ nọ gwa Saimọn sị, “Ị hụrụ nwanyị a? A batara nʼụlọ gị, i kunyeghị m mmiri ka m saa ụkwụ m, ma nwanyị a ejirila anya mmiri ya sachaa ụkwụ m, jirikwa agịrị isi ya hichaa ha.
And, turning towards the woman, unto Simon, he said—Seest thou this woman? I entered into thy house: water to me, on my feet, thou didst not give, —but, she, with her tears, hath wetted my feet, and, with her hair, wiped off [the tears].
45 Ị sutughị m ọnụ, ma kemgbe m batara nʼụlọ a, o zubeghị ike isutu ụkwụ m ọnụ.
A kiss, to me, thou didst not give, —but, she, from the time I came in, hath not ceased tenderly kissing my feet.
46 Ị teghị m mmanụ ọbụla nʼisi, ma lee, o werela mmanụ otite isi ụtọ wụkwasị m nʼụkwụ.
With oil, my head, thou didst not anoint, —but, she, with perfume, hath anointed, my feet.
47 Ya mere, ana m agwa gị sị, a gbagharala ya mmehie ya niile o mehiere, nʼihi na ọ nwere ịhụnanya dị ukwuu. Ma onye nwetara mgbaghara dị nta, na-enwe ịhụnanya dị nta.”
For which cause, I say unto thee—Her many sins, have been forgiven, because she hath loved, much: but, he to whom little is forgiven, little, loveth.
48 Mgbe ahụ ọ gwara ya sị, “A gbagharala gị mmehie gị.”
And he said unto her—Thy sins have been forgiven.
49 Ma ndị ọzọ soro ya nọdụ na-eri nri bidoro ikwu nʼetiti onwe ha na-asị, “Onye bụ onye a nwere ike ọ bụladị ịgbaghara mmehie?”
And they who were reclining together, began to be saying within themselves—Who is, this, that, even forgiveth sins?
50 Ọ sịrị nwanyị ahụ, “Okwukwe gị azọpụtala gị, laa nʼudo.”
But he said unto the woman—Thy faith, hath saved thee, —Go thy way into peace.
