Luk 8
1 Mgbe ihe ndị a gasịrị, ọ gara nʼobodo ukwu niile na nʼobodo nta niile na-ekwusa ma na-ewetakwara ndị mmadụ oziọma nke alaeze Chineke. Ndị ozi iri na abụọ ahụ sokwa ya,
And it came to pass afterward, that he went throughout every city and village, preaching and showing the glad tidings of the kingdom of God: and the twelve were with him,
2 na ụmụ nwanyị ụfọdụ ndị a chụpụrụ mmụọ ọjọọ site nʼime ha, gwọkwa ha nrịa nrịa: Meri Magdalin onye e sitere nʼime ya chụpụ mmụọ ọjọọ asaa,
And certain women, which had been healed of evil spirits and infirmities, Mary called Magdalene, out of whom went seven devils,
3 na Joana nwunye Chuza onye na-elekọta ụlọeze Herọd na akụ ya niile, na Suzana, na ọtụtụ ndị ọzọ ndị ji akụ ha na-enyere ha aka.
And Joanna the wife of Chuza Herod’s steward, and Susanna, and many others, which ministered to him of their substance.
4 Mgbe oke igwe mmadụ gbakọrọ ha na ndị mmadụ si nʼobodo dị iche iche bịakwute ya. Ọ tụụrụ ha ilu a sị,
And when much people were gathered together, and were come to him out of every city, he spoke by a parable:
5 “Ọgha mkpụrụ pụrụ ịkụ mkpụrụ ya, mgbe ọ nọ na-agha mkpụrụ ndị a, ụfọdụ nʼime mkpụrụ ahụ dara nʼakụkụ ụzọ ebe ndị mmadụ zọrọ ha ụkwụ, ụmụ nnụnụ bịakwara tụrịa ha loo.
A sower went out to sow his seed: and as he sowed, some fell by the way side; and it was trodden down, and the fowls of the air devoured it.
6 Ụfọdụ nʼime ha dakwasịrị nʼelu nkume. Mgbe ha puputara chọọ ito, ha kpọnwụrụ nʼihi na mgbọrọgwụ ha enweghị ike ịmịta mmiri mkpụrụ ahụ ga-eji dị ndụ.
And some fell on a rock; and as soon as it was sprung up, it withered away, because it lacked moisture.
7 Ụfọdụ dara nʼetiti ogwu, ogwu ndị a sooro ha puo ma kpagbuo ha.
And some fell among thorns; and the thorns sprang up with it, and choked it.
8 Ụfọdụ nʼime mkpụrụ dara nʼezi ala. Ha puputara, too, mịa mkpụrụ dị otu narị nʼọnụọgụgụ.” Mgbe o kwusiri nke a, ọ sịrị ha, “Onye ọbụla nwere ntị ịnụ ihe, ya nụrụ.”
And other fell on good ground, and sprang up, and bore fruit an hundred times. And when he had said these things, he cried, He that has ears to hear, let him hear.
9 Ndị na-eso ụzọ ya jụrụ ya ihe ilu a pụtara.
And his disciples asked him, saying, What might this parable be?
10 Ọ sịrị, “Ọ bụ unu ka e nyere ịmata ihe omimi niile nke alaeze Chineke, ma ndị ọzọ ga-anụ ya naanị nʼilu. Site nʼụzọ dị otu a, “‘ha ga na-ele anya, ma ha agaghị ahụ ihe ọbụla. Ha ga na-anụ ntị ma ha agaghị aghọta ihe ọbụla.’
And he said, To you it is given to know the mysteries of the kingdom of God: but to others in parables; that seeing they might not see, and hearing they might not understand.
11 “Nke a bụ nkọwa ilu ahụ. Mkpụrụ ahụ bụ okwu Chineke.
Now the parable is this: The seed is the word of God.
12 Mkpụrụ dara nʼakụkụ ụzọ nọchiri anya ndị nụrụ okwu Chineke, ma ekwensu bịara napụ ha okwu ahụ nʼobi ha, ka ha ghara ikwere ma nwetakwa nzọpụta.
Those by the way side are they that hear; then comes the devil, and takes away the word out of their hearts, lest they should believe and be saved.
13 Mkpụrụ ndị ahụ dara nʼelu nkume nọchiri anya ndị nụrụ okwu Chineke jiri ọṅụ nabata ya, ma ha enweghị mgbọrọgwụ nʼime ha. Ha na-ekwere naanị nwa oge nta, ma mgbe ọnwụnwa bịara ha na-adachapụ.
They on the rock are they, which, when they hear, receive the word with joy; and these have no root, which for a while believe, and in time of temptation fall away.
14 Mkpụrụ nke dara nʼetiti ogwu nọchiri anya ndị nụrụ okwu Chineke, ma mgbe ha na-aga nʼụzọ ha, echiche banyere akụ na ihe ụtọ nke ụwa na-akpagbu okwu ahụ, mee ka ha ghara ịmị mkpụrụ.
And that which fell among thorns are they, which, when they have heard, go forth, and are choked with cares and riches and pleasures of this life, and bring no fruit to perfection.
15 Ma mkpụrụ ndị ahụ dara nʼezi ala nọchiri anya ndị jiri obi ghere oghe na mmụọ ziri ezi nabata okwu ahụ ma werekwa ndidi mịpụta mkpụrụ.
But that on the good ground are they, which in an honest and good heart, having heard the word, keep it, and bring forth fruit with patience.
16 “Ọ dịghị onye ọbụla, nke na-amụnye oriọna zoo ya nʼime igbe maọbụ dọnye ya nʼokpuru ihe ndina. Kama, ọ na-adọkwasị ya nʼelu ihe ịdọba ọkụ ka ndị ọbụla na-abata nʼụlọ ahụ jiri ya hụ ụzọ.
No man, when he has lighted a candle, covers it with a vessel, or puts it under a bed; but sets it on a candlestick, that they which enter in may see the light.
17 Ọ dịghị ihe ọbụla zoro ezo nke na-agaghị emesịa pụta ìhè, ọ dịkwaghị ihe ọbụla dị nzuzo nke a na-aghaghị eme ka ọ pụta ìhè.
For nothing is secret, that shall not be made manifest; neither any thing hid, that shall not be known and come abroad.
18 Ya mere, kpacharanụ anya otu unu si ege ntị. Nʼihi na ọ bụ onye ahụ nwere ihe ka a ga-enye karịa, ma onye ahụ na-enweghị, ọ bụladị nke o nwere, ka a ga-anapụ ya.”
Take heed therefore how you hear: for whoever has, to him shall be given; and whoever has not, from him shall be taken even that which he seems to have.
19 Nʼoge a, nne ya na ụmụnne ya nwoke bịakwutere ya. Ma ha enweghị ike ịbịaru ya nso nʼihi igwe mmadụ.
Then came to him his mother and his brothers, and could not come at him for the press.
20 Otu onye gwara ya sị, “Nne gị na ụmụnne gị ndị nwoke guzo nʼezi, ha chọrọ ịhụ gị.”
And it was told him by certain which said, Your mother and your brothers stand without, desiring to see you.
21 Ọ zara sị, “Nne m na ụmụnne m ndị nwoke bụ ndị ahụ na-anụ okwu Chineke ma jiri ya mere ihe.”
And he answered and said to them, My mother and my brothers are these which hear the word of God, and do it.
22 Otu ụbọchị, ya na ndị na-eso ụzọ ya banyere nʼụgbọ mmiri, ọ sịrị ha, “Ka anyị gafee nʼofe nke ọzọ nke osimiri.” Nke a mere ha ji nụpụ ụgbọ,
Now it came to pass on a certain day, that he went into a ship with his disciples: and he said to them, Let us go over to the other side of the lake. And they launched forth.
23 ma mgbe ha na-aga, ọ rahụrụ ụra. Oke ifufe malitere ife nʼelu ọdọ mmiri ahụ, nke mere na mmiri na-awụbanye nʼime ụgbọ ha, mee ka ha nọrọ nʼoke nsogbu.
But as they sailed he fell asleep: and there came down a storm of wind on the lake; and they were filled with water, and were in jeopardy.
24 Ha gara kpọtee ya na-eti mkpu, “Nna anyị ukwu! Nna anyị ukwu! Lee na anyị nʼala nʼiyi!” O biliri, baara ifufe na ebili mmiri ahụ mba. Ha dara jụụ, ebe niile dekwara jii.
And they came to him, and awoke him, saying, Master, master, we perish. Then he arose, and rebuked the wind and the raging of the water: and they ceased, and there was a calm.
25 Ọ sịrị ha, “Ebee ka okwukwe unu dị?” Ha ji oke egwu na oke iju anya jụrịta onwe ha sị, “Onye bụ onye a? Ọ na-enye ọ bụladị ifufe na ebili mmiri iwu, ha na-aṅakwa ya ntị.”
And he said to them, Where is your faith? And they being afraid wondered, saying one to another, What manner of man is this! for he commands even the winds and water, and they obey him.
26 Ha kwọrọ ụgbọ mmiri rute nʼala Gerazin, nke dị nʼofe mmiri Galili.
And they arrived at the country of the Gadarenes, which is over against Galilee.
27 Mgbe o si nʼụgbọ mmiri rịpụta nʼelu ala, otu nwoke obodo ahụ onye mmụọ ọjọọ bi nʼime ya zutere ya. Nwoke a ebighị nʼụlọ maọbụ yie uwe ogologo oge, ma ebe obibi ya bụ ebe a na-eli ozu.
And when he went forth to land, there met him out of the city a certain man, which had devils long time, and ware no clothes, neither stayed in any house, but in the tombs.
28 Mgbe ọ hụrụ Jisọs, ọ bịara daa nʼihu ya, tie mkpu nʼoke olu sị, “Gịnị ka mụ na gị nwekọrọ Jisọs, Ọkpara Chineke Onye kachasị ihe niile elu? Biko arịọ m gị, atala m ahụhụ.”
When he saw Jesus, he cried out, and fell down before him, and with a loud voice said, What have I to do with you, Jesus, you Son of God most high? I beseech you, torment me not.
29 Nʼihi na o nyela mmụọ ahụ na-adịghị ọcha iwu ka o site nʼime ya pụta. Ọtụtụ oge, mmụọ ọjọọ a na-ejidesi ya ike, nʼagbanyeghị na eji ụdọ igwe kee ya aka na ụkwụ, debe ebe a na-eche ya nche, ọ na-adọbisi ụdọ igwe e ji kee ya, mmụọ ọjọọ a na-eduru ya gaa nʼime ọzara.
(For he had commanded the unclean spirit to come out of the man. For oftentimes it had caught him: and he was kept bound with chains and in fetters; and he broke the bands, and was driven of the devil into the wilderness.)
30 Jisọs jụrụ ya sị, “Gịnị bụ aha gị?” Ọ zara sị, “Lijiọn,” nʼihi na igwe mmụọ ọjọọ bi nʼime ya.
And Jesus asked him, saying, What is your name? And he said, Legion: because many devils were entered into him.
And they sought him that he would not command them to go out into the deep. (Abyssos g12)
32 Igwe ezi nọ nʼakụkụ ugwu dị ebe ahụ nso na-akpa nri. Mmụọ ọjọọ ndị a rịọrọ Jisọs ka o nye ha ike ka ha banye nʼime ha. Jisọs nyere ha ike.
And there was there an herd of many swine feeding on the mountain: and they sought him that he would suffer them to enter into them. And he suffered them.
33 Mmụọ ọjọọ ndị ahụ sitere nʼime nwoke a pụọ banye nʼime ezi ndị ahụ, igwe ezi ahụ niile sitere na mkputamkpu ala ọnụ mmiri ahụ gbara ọsọ dabanyechaa nʼime mmiri ebe osimiri riri ha.
Then went the devils out of the man, and entered into the swine: and the herd ran violently down a steep place into the lake, and were choked.
34 Mgbe ndị na-elekọta ezi ahụ hụrụ ihe mere, ha gbara ọsọ gaa nʼime obodo na nʼobodo nta niile dị gburugburu ebe ahụ kọsaa ihe mere.
When they that fed them saw what was done, they fled, and went and told it in the city and in the country.
35 Ndị mmadụ pụtara ịhụ ihe mere. Mgbe ha rutere ebe Jisọs nọ, ha hụrụ nwoke ahụ e si nʼime ya chụpụ mmụọ ọjọọ ndị ahụ, ebe ọ nọdụrụ ala yiri uwe ma nọrọkwa nʼezi uche ya. Egwu tụrụ ha.
Then they went out to see what was done; and came to Jesus, and found the man, out of whom the devils were departed, sitting at the feet of Jesus, clothed, and in his right mind: and they were afraid.
36 Ndị hụrụ ka ihe a si mee kọọrọ ha ka e siri gwọọ onye ahụ mmụọ ọjọọ na-esogbu.
They also which saw it told them by what means he that was possessed of the devils was healed.
37 Mgbe ahụ, ndị niile bi na Gerazin na nʼobodo gbara ebe ahụ gburugburu rịọrọ Jisọs ka ọ hapụrụ ha obodo ha, nʼihi na egwu dị ukwuu tụrụ ha. Ọ banyekwara nʼime ụgbọ mmiri ahụ laghachi.
Then the whole multitude of the country of the Gadarenes round about sought him to depart from them; for they were taken with great fear: and he went up into the ship, and returned back again.
38 Nwoke a e sitere nʼime ya chụpụ mmụọ ọjọọ rịọrọ ya ka o soro ya ma o zilagara ya, sị ya,
Now the man out of whom the devils were departed sought him that he might be with him: but Jesus sent him away, saying,
39 “Laghachi nʼezinaụlọ gị kọọrọ ha ihe niile Chineke meere gị.” Nwoke ahụ lara, gbasaa akụkọ ihe Jisọs meere ya nʼobodo ahụ niile.
Return to your own house, and show how great things God has done to you. And he went his way, and published throughout the whole city how great things Jesus had done to him.
40 Mgbe Jisọs lọghachiri, igwe mmadụ nabatara ya nʼihi na ha niile na-eche ya.
And it came to pass, that, when Jesus was returned, the people gladly received him: for they were all waiting for him.
41 Mgbe ahụ otu nwoke nke aha ya bụ Jairọs, onye bụ onyeisi nʼụlọ ekpere, bịara daa nʼala nʼụkwụ Jisọs na-arịọ ya ka ọ bịa nʼụlọ ya.
And, behold, there came a man named Jairus, and he was a ruler of the synagogue: and he fell down at Jesus’ feet, and sought him that he would come into his house:
42 Nʼihi na otu nwata nwanyị ọ mụtara naanị ya, nke gbara afọ iri na abụọ nọ nʼọnụ ọnwụ. Mgbe ọ na-aga, igwe mmadụ ahụ na-akpagbu ya.
For he had one only daughter, about twelve years of age, and she lay a dying. But as he went the people thronged him.
43 Ọ dị otu nwanyị nʼetiti ha nke nọrịị na-arịa ọrịa oruru ọbara afọ iri na abụọ, onye mefuru ihe niile o ji nʼaka ndị dibịa, ma ọ dịghị onye nwere ike ịgwọ ya.
And a woman having an issue of blood twelve years, which had spent all her living on physicians, neither could be healed of any,
44 O sitere nʼazụ ya metụ ọnụ uwe ya aka. Ngwangwa, ọrịa oruru ọbara ahụ kwụsịkwara.
Came behind him, and touched the border of his garment: and immediately her issue of blood stanched.
45 Jisọs sịrị, “Onye metụrụ m aka?” Mgbe ọ na-enweghị onye pụtara kwuo sị na ọ bụ ya. Pita gwara ya sị, “Nna anyị ukwu, igwe mmadụ gbara gị gburugburu na-adakwasịkwa gị.”
And Jesus said, Who touched me? When all denied, Peter and they that were with him said, Master, the multitude throng you and press you, and say you, Who touched me?
46 Ma Jisọs sịrị, “Otu onye metụrụ m aka; amatara m na ike esitela nʼime m pụọ.”
And Jesus said, Somebody has touched me: for I perceive that virtue is gone out of me.
47 Mgbe nwanyị ahụ hụrụ na ọ dịkwaghị ihe o nwere ike ime iji zoo onwe ya, o ji ịma jijiji bịa daa nʼụkwụ ya. Nʼihu mmadụ niile, ọ kọrọ ihe mere o ji metụ ya aka na otu e sị gwọọ ya nʼotu ntabi anya.
And when the woman saw that she was not hid, she came trembling, and falling down before him, she declared to him before all the people for what cause she had touched him, and how she was healed immediately.
48 Ọ gwara ya sị, “Ada m nwanyị, okwukwe gị agwọọla gị. Laa nʼudo.”
And he said to her, Daughter, be of good comfort: your faith has made you whole; go in peace.
49 Mgbe ọ ka nọ na-ekwu okwu, otu onye si nʼụlọ Jairọs bụ onyeisi ụlọ ekpere, bịara sị, “Ada gị nwanyị anwụọla, enyekwala onye ozizi nsogbu ọzọ.”
While he yet spoke, there comes one from the ruler of the synagogue’s house, saying to him, Your daughter is dead; trouble not the Master.
50 Ma mgbe Jisọs nụrụ ozi a, ọ zara ya sị, “Atụla egwu, naanị kwere, a ga-agwọkwa ya.”
But when Jesus heard it, he answered him, saying, Fear not: believe only, and she shall be made whole.
51 Mgbe o rutere nʼụlọ Jairọs, o kweghị ka onye ọbụla soro ya baa nʼime ụlọ ahụ ma ọ bụghị naanị Pita, Jọn, Jemis, nne na nna nwata ahụ.
And when he came into the house, he suffered no man to go in, save Peter, and James, and John, and the father and the mother of the maiden.
52 Nʼoge ahụ, ha niile nọ na-ebe akwa na-eru ụjụ maka nwata ahụ. Ọ sịrị ha, “Unu ebezila akwa, nʼihi na ọ nwụghị anwụ kama ọ nọ nʼụra.”
And all wept, and bewailed her: but he said, Weep not; she is not dead, but sleeps.
53 Ha chịrị ya ọchị, nʼihi na ha matara na ọ nwụrụ anwụ.
And they laughed him to scorn, knowing that she was dead.
54 Ma o jidere ya nʼaka, sị, “Nwa m, bilie!”
And he put them all out, and took her by the hand, and called, saying, Maid, arise.
55 Mmụọ ya lọghachiri, o bilitekwara mgbe ahụ. Ọ gwakwara ha ka ha chọọrọ ya nri ka o rie.
And her spirit came again, and she arose straightway: and he commanded to give her meat.
56 Ihe a gbara ndị mụrụ ya gharịị ma ọ nyere ha iwu ka ha ghara ịkọrọ onye ọbụla ihe mere.
And her parents were astonished: but he charged them that they should tell no man what was done.
