Luk 9
1 Mgbe ọ kpọkọtara ndị ozi iri na abụọ ahụ, o nyere ha ike na ịchị isi nʼebe mmụọ ọjọọ niile nọ na ịgwọ ọrịa dị iche iche.
And calling the twelve, He gave to them power and authority over all demons, and to heal diseases.
2 O nyere ha ikike, zipụ ha ikwusa alaeze Chineke na ịgwọ ndị nrịa nrịa.
And He sent them to preach the kingdom of God and to heal the sick.
3 Ọ gwara ha sị, “Unu ewerekwala ihe ọbụla maka njem a, maọbụ mkpanaka maọbụ akpa, maọbụ achịcha maọbụ ego maọbụ uwe abụọ.
And He said to them, Take nothing for the journey, neither staff, nor valise, nor bread, nor silver; nor to have two coats.
4 Ụlọ ọbụla unu banyere, nọgidenụ nʼebe ahụ ruo mgbe unu hapụrụ obodo ahụ.
And into whatsoever house you may eaten there abide, and go out from thence.
5 Ma ebe ọbụla a na-anabataghị unu, kụchapụnụ aja dị nʼụkwụ unu mgbe unu na-apụ nʼobodo ahụ, ka ọ bụrụ ihe ama megide ha.”
And so many as may not receive you, going out from that city, knock off the dust of your feet for a testimony against them.
6 Ha gara nʼobodo nta niile na-ekwusa oziọma na-agwọkwa ndị ọrịa nʼebe niile.
And going out, they continued to go through the villages, everywhere preaching the gospel, and healing.
7 Mgbe Herọd onye ọchịchị nụrụ akụkọ banyere ihe niile merenụ, ọ gbagwojuru ya anya nʼihi na ụfọdụ mmadụ na-asị, na Jọn omee baptizim esitela na ndị nwụrụ anwụ bilie.
And Herod the tetrarch heard all things which were wrought by Him; and was at a loss, because it was said by some, that John is risen from the dead;
8 Ndị ọzọ na-asị na Ịlaịja apụtala, ebe ndị ọzọ na-asị na otu nʼime ndị amụma ochie apụtakwala ndụ ọzọ.
and by some that Elijah has appeared; and by others that one of the old prophets is arisen.
9 Ma Herọd sịrị, “Mụ onwe bipụrụ isi Jọn. Onye bụkwa onye a nke m na-anụ ihe banyere ya?” Ọ gụrụ ya agụụ ịhụ ya.
And Herod said, I beheaded John: but who is this, concerning whom I hear these things? And he was seeking to see Him.
10 Mgbe ndị ozi a lọtara, ha kọọrọ ya ihe niile ha mere. Ọ kpọọrọ ha gaa nʼobodo a na-akpọ Betsaida ebe ha ga-anọ naanị ha.
And the apostles having returned, expounded unto Him how many things they did. And taking them He departed privately into a desert place, belonging to the city called Bethsaida.
11 Ma mgbe igwe mmadụ matara nke a, ha sooro ya. Ọ nabatara ha ma gwakwa ha okwu maka alaeze Chineke. Ọ gwọkwara ndị niile ọ dị mkpa na-emere ka ahụ dị ha mma.
And the multitudes having found out, followed Him And receiving them, He spoke to them concerning the kingdom of God, and healed those having need of healing.
12 Mgbe anwụ bidoro ịda, ndị na-eso ụzọ ya iri na abụọ bịakwutere ya sị ya, “Zilaga igwe mmadụ a ka ha gaa nʼime obodo na nʼobodo nta ndị gbara ebe a gburugburu, ka ha chọtara onwe ha nri na ebe ndina nʼihi na ebe a anyị nọ bụ ọzara.”
And the day began to decline; and the twelve coming to Him, said, Send away the multitude, in order that having gone into the surrounding villages and countries, they may lodge, and find food: because we are here in a desert place.
13 Ọ zara ha sị, “Unu nye ha nri ka ha rie.” Ha zaghachiri ya sị, “Anyị nwere naanị ogbe achịcha ise na azụ abụọ. Ma ọ bụghị na anyị ga aga zụọra mmadụ ndị a niile nri.”
And He said to them, You give them to eat. And they said, There is not to us more than five loaves and two fishes; if not having gone we must purchase victuals for all this people.
14 Ndị nọ nʼebe ahụ ruru puku ndị nwoke ise. Ọ gwara ndị na-eso ụzọ ya sị, “Meenụ ka ha nọdụ ala nʼigwe nʼigwe, iri mmadụ ise, iri mmadụ ise.”
For the men were about five thousand. And He said to His disciples, Have them sit down in companies, about fifty.
15 Ha mere otu ahụ, mee ka ha niile nọdụ ala.
And they did thus, and made all sit down.
16 O weere ogbe achịcha ise na azụ abụọ ndị ahụ, lelie anya nʼeluigwe, gọzie ma nyawaa ha, nye ndị na-eso ụzọ ya ka ha keere igwe mmadụ ahụ.
And taking the five loaves and two fishes, looking up to heaven, He blessed them; and He broke, and gave to the disciples to dispense to the multitude.
17 Ha niile riri rijuokwa afọ, a tụtụkọtara ihe fọdụrụ, tụtụjuo nkata iri na abụọ nʼiberibe achịcha fọdụrụ.
And they all ate and were filled: and that which remained to them of the fragments, were taken up, twelve baskets.
18 Otu ụbọchị mgbe ọ nọ naanị ya na-ekpe ekpere, ndị na-eso ụzọ ya bịakwutere ya. Ọ jụrụ ha sị, “Onye ka igwe mmadụ na-asị na m bụ?”
It came to pass, while He was praying alone, His disciples came to Him. And He asked them, saying, Whom do the multitudes say that I am?
19 Ha zara sị, “Ụfọdụ na-asị na ị bụ Jọn omee baptizim, ndị ọzọ sị na ị bụ Ịlaịja, ndị ọzọkwa, sị na ị bụ otu nʼime ndị amụma ochie ahụ si nʼọnwụ bilie.”
They responding said, John the Baptist; and others, Elijah; and others, that one of the old prophets is risen.
20 Ma ọ jụrụ ha, “Unu onwe unu, ọ bụ onye ka unu na-asị na m bụ?” Pita zara sị, “Ị bụ Kraịst nke Chineke.”
And He said to them, But whom do you say that I am? And Peter responding said, The Christ of God.
21 Ma ọ dọrọ ha aka na ntị, nyesiekwa ha iwu ike ka ha ghara ịgwa onye ọbụla nke a,
And having charged them, He commanded them to tell it to no one.
22 na-asị, “Nwa nke Mmadụ aghaghị ịhụ ọtụtụ ahụhụ dị iche iche. Ndị okenye na ndịisi nchụaja, na ndị ozizi iwu ga-ajụ ya. Aghaghị igbu ya, ma nʼụbọchị nke atọ, a ga-eme ka o site nʼọnwụ bilie.”
Saying, That it behooved the Son of man to suffer many things, and to be rejected by the elders and chief priests and scribes and to be killed, and to rise the third day.
23 Mgbe ahụ ọ sịkwara ha, “Ọ bụrụ na onye ọbụla achọọ iso m nʼazụ, ọ ghaghị ịjụ onwe ya ma buru obe ya kwa ụbọchị na-eso m.
And He spoke to all, If any one wishes to come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow me.
24 Nʼihi na onye ọbụla chọrọ ịzọpụta ndụ ya ga-atụfu ya. Ma onye ọbụla nke tufuru ndụ ya nʼihi m, ga-azọpụta ya.
For whosoever may wish to save his soul shall lose it; and whosoever may lose his soul for my sake, he shall save it.
25 Uru gịnị ka mmadụ nwere ma ọ bụrụ na o ritechaa ụwa niile nʼuru ma tufuo ndụ ya, maọbụ bụrụ onye a napụrụ ndụ ya?
For what is a man profited, gaining the whole world, and losing or forfeiting himself?
26 Onye ọbụla ihere m na ihere okwu m na-eme, ka ihere ya ga-emekwa Nwa nke Mmadụ mgbe ọ ga-abịa nʼebube ya, na nʼebube nke Nna ya, ya na ndị mmụọ ozi dị nsọ.
For whosoever may be ashamed of me and my words, the Son of man will be ashamed of him, when He may come in His glory, and that of the Father, and that of the holy angels.
27 “Nʼezie asị m unu, ụfọdụ nʼime ndị guzo nʼebe a agaghị edetụ ọnwụ ire tupu ha ahụ alaeze Chineke.”
And truly I say unto you, There are some of those standing here, who may not taste of death, until they may see the kingdom of God.
28 Mgbe ụbọchị asatọ gasịrị, ọ kpọọrọ Pita na Jọn na Jemis gaa nʼelu ugwu ikpe ekpere.
And it came to pass after these discourses, about eight days, and taking Peter and John and James, He went up into the mountain to pray.
29 Mgbe ọ nọ na-ekpe ekpere, ụdịdị ihu ya gbanwere. Uwe ya bidoro ịchaa ọcha nke ukwuu.
And it came to pass while He was praying, the appearance of His countenance was changed, and His raiment shining white.
30 Nʼotu ntabi anya, ha hụrụ ndị ikom abụọ ka ha na ya na-ekwu okwu. Ha bụ Mosis na Ịlaịja.
And behold two men were talking with Him, who were Moses and Elijah:
31 Ha pụtara nʼebube eluigwe dị ukwu na-ekwu banyere nlaghachi ya, nke ọ na-aga imezu na Jerusalem.
who being seen in glory, was speaking of His departure which He was about to perfect in Jerusalem.
32 Pita na ndị ya na ha nọ na-arahụ ụra. Mgbe ha tetara, ha hụrụ ebube ya na ndị ikom abụọ ya na ha nọ na-ekwurịta okwu.
And Peter and those who were along with Him, were burdened with sleep. And having watched through the night, they saw His glory and the two men who were standing with him.
33 Mgbe ha na-ahapụ ya, Pita sịrị Jisọs, “Nna anyị ukwu, ọ ga-adị mma ka anyị nọrọ ebe a ka anyị wuo ụlọ ikwu atọ, otu ga-abụ nke gị, otu ga-abụ nke Mosis, otu ga-abụkwa nke Ịlaịja.” Ọ mataghị ihe ọ na-ekwu.
It came to pass when they departed from Him, Peter said to Jesus, Master, it is good for us to be here: and let us make three tabernacles; one for thee, and one for Moses, and one for Elijah: not knowing what he says.
34 Mgbe ọ ka kpụ okwu nʼọnụ, igwe ojii pụtara kpuchie ha. Egwu tụkwara ha dị ka ha na-aba nʼigwe ojii ahụ.
And he speaking these things there was a cloud, and it overshadowed them; and they were afraid while they were entering into the cloud.
35 Olu sitere nʼigwe ojii ahụ daa sị, “Onye a bụ Ọkpara m, onye m họpụtara; geenụ ya ntị.”
And there was a voice from the cloud, saying, This is my beloved Son: hear ye Him. And while the voice is heard, Jesus is found alone.
36 Mgbe olu ahụ kwusiri okwu, ha chọpụtara na Jisọs nọ naanị ya. Ndị na-eso ụzọ ya kpuchiri ọnụ ha, debe ihe niile nʼobi ha, ọ dịkwaghị onye ọbụla ha gwara ihe ha hụrụ.
And they were silent, and they told no one during those days any of those things which they had seen
37 Nʼechi ya, mgbe ha si nʼugwu ahụ rịdata, oke igwe mmadụ bịara zute ya.
And it came to pass, on the following day, they having come down from the mountain, a multitude met Him.
38 Otu nwoke si nʼetiti igwe mmadụ ahụ jiri oke olu tie mkpu sị, “Onye ozizi, arịọ m gị ka i lee nwa m nwoke anya, nʼihi na naanị ya bụ nwa m nwere.
And behold, a man from the multitude cried out, saying, Teacher, I pray thee look upon my son, because he is to me an only child:
39 Mmụọ ọjọọ na-ejide ya mee ka ọ na-eti mkpu. Ọ na-atụda ya nʼala, na-ese ya ese, na-adọkwa ya adọ mee ka ọ na-agbọ ụfụfụ nʼọnụ. Ọ dịghị mgbe ọ na-ahapụ ya kama ọ na-echihịasị ya ahụ.
and behold, the spirit seizes him, and he suddenly cries out; and he convulses him with foam, and scarcely departs from him, contorting him.
40 Arịọrọ m ndị na-eso ụzọ gị ka ha chụpụ ya, ma ha enweghị ike.”
And I besought thy disciples, that they should cast him out; and they were not able.
41 Jisọs zara sị, “Leenụ ọgbọ rụrụ arụ, nke na-enweghị okwukwe! Ruo olee mgbe ka mụ na unu ga-anọ, ruokwa olee mgbe ka m ga-anagide ekweghị ekwe unu? Kpọtara m nwa gị nwoke ahụ nʼebe a!”
And Jesus responding said, O ye faithless and perverse generation, how long shall I be with you, and bear with you? Bring your son hither.
42 Mgbe ọ na-abịa, mmụọ ọjọọ ahụ kwadara ya nʼala sesie ya ike, ma Jisọs baara mmụọ ọjọọ ahụ mba. Ọ gwọrọ nwata ahụ kpọnyekwa ya nna ya.
And he yet coming, the demon dashed him down and convulsed him. And Jesus rebuked the unclean spirit and healed the child, and gave him to his father.
43 Ebube ukwu nke Chineke tụrụ ha nʼanya. Ma mgbe onye ọbụla nọ na mgbagwoju anya nʼihi ọrụ ọ rụrụ, ọ sịrị ndị na-eso ụzọ ya,
And all were astonished at the majesty of God. And all being astonished at all things which Jesus did, He said to His disciples,
44 “Geenụ ntị nke ọma banyere ihe m chọrọ ịgwa unu. A ga-arara Nwa nke Mmadụ nye nʼaka ụmụ mmadụ.”
You place these words in your ears: for the Son of man is about to be betrayed into the hands of men.
45 Ma ha aghọtaghị okwu a. E zonarịrị ya nʼebe ha nọ ka ha ghara ịghọta ya. Egwu tụkwara ha ịjụ ya ihe ọ pụtara.
And they did not understand this word, and it was hidden from them, in order that they should not understand it: and they were afraid to ask Him concerning this word.
46 Ịrụ ụka dapụtara nʼetiti ha banyere onye karịrị ibe ya ukwuu.
And a dispute came in among them, as to which one of them might be the greater.
47 Ebe Jisọs ma ihe ha na-eche, ọ kpọtara otu nwantakịrị mee ka o guzo nʼakụkụ ya.
And Jesus seeing the dispute of their heart, taking a little child, He placed it by Himself,
48 Ọ gwara ha sị, “Onye ọbụla nabatara nwata a nʼaha m, nabatara m. Onye ọ bụlakwa nabatara m, nabatara onye zitere m. Ọ bụkwa onye dịkarịsịrị nta nʼetiti unu bụ onye kachasị ukwuu.”
and said to them, Whosoever may receive this little child in my name receives me; and whosoever may receive me receives him that sent me. For he who is least among you all, the same shall be great.
49 Jọn a zaa sị, “Nna anyị ukwu, anyị hụrụ otu onye ka o ji aha gị na-achụpụ mmụọ ọjọọ. Ebe ọ na-esoghị anyị, anyị gbochiri ya.”
And John responding said, Master, we saw one casting out the demons in thy name; and we forbade him, because he does not follow with us.
50 Jisọs sịrị ya, “Unu egbochila ya. Nʼihi na onye ọbụla na-adịghị emegide unu dịnyeere unu.”
And Jesus said to him, Forbid him not; for whosoever is not against us is on our side.
51 Mgbe oge o ji alaghachi na-abịaru nso, o chere ihu ya ịga Jerusalem.
And it came to pass while the days of His taking up were being fulfilled, and He turned His face to go to Jerusalem,
52 O zipụrụ ndị ozi, ka ha buru ya ụzọ gawa. Ka ha na-aga ha batara nʼotu obodo nta nke ndị Sameria ịkwado ihe niile tupu ọ bịa;
and He sent messengers before His face. And they going forward, entered into a city of the Samaritans, in order to prepare for Him;
53 ma ha jụrụ ịnabata ya nʼihi na o chere ihu ịga Jerusalem.
and they did not receive Him, because His face was going toward Jerusalem.
54 Mgbe Jemis na Jọn ndị na-eso ụzọ ya hụrụ nke a, ha sịrị ya, “Onyenwe anyị, ị chọrọ ka anyị nye iwu ka ọkụ site nʼeluigwe bịa laa ha nʼiyi?”
And the disciples James and John, seeing, said, Lord, do you wish that we may command fire to descend from heaven and consume them?
55 Ọ tụgharịrị bara ha mba.
And He turning, rebuked them.
56 Ma ha pụrụ banye nʼobodo nta ọzọ.
And they went into another village.
57 Mgbe ha nọ na-aga ije a, otu nwoke sịrị ya, “Aga m eso gị gaa ebe ọbụla ị na-aga.”
And they going on the way, a certain one said to Him, Lord, I will follow thee wheresoever thou mayest go.
58 Jisọs zara, sị, “Nkịta ọhịa nwere ọnụ ebe ha na-edina, ụmụ nnụnụ nke igwe nwekwara akwụ, ma Nwa nke Mmadụ enweghị ebe ọ na-atụkwasị isi.”
And Jesus said to him, The foxes have holes, and the birds of heaven nests; but the Son of man has not a place where He may recline His head.
59 Ọ gwara onye ọzọ sị, “Soro m.” Ma ọ sịrị ya. Onyenwe anyị, “Biko, nye m ohere ka m gaa buru ụzọ lie nna m.”
And He said to another, Follow thou me. And he said, Lord, permit me first having gone away to bury my father.
60 Ma ọ sịrị ya, “Hapụ ndị nwụrụ anwụ ka ha lie ndị nwụrụ anwụ ibe ha. Ma gị gaa kwusaa alaeze nke Chineke.”
And Jesus said to him, Let the dead bury their dead; but thou having gone away proclaim the kingdom of God.
61 Ma onye ọzọkwa, sịrị ya, “Aga m eso gị, Onyenwe m, ma kwere ka m buru ụzọ gaa sị ndị ezinaụlọ m nọdụnụ nke ọma.”
And another said to Him, Lord, I will follow thee; but first permit me to bid adieu to those at my own home.
62 Jisọs sịrị ya, “Onye ọbụla jidere aka nʼọgụ anụ ụlọ na-adọkpụ ma na-ele anya nʼazụ ekwesighị alaeze Chineke.”
And Jesus said to him, No one putting his hand to the plow, and looking back, is worthy of the kingdom of God.
