Mak 10
1 Ọ hapụrụ ebe ahụ gaa nʼobodo ndị dị na mpaghara Judịa ma gafeekwa nʼofe Jọdan. Igwe mmadụ bịakwutekwara ya, ọzọ, dị ka o si emekwa, o ziri ha ihe.
Then he arose and came into the confines of Judea, through the country upon the Jordan. Again multitudes resorted to him; and again, as his custom was, he taught them.
2 Ụfọdụ ndị Farisii bịara, ma nʼihi ị nwalee ya, ha jụrụ ya sị, “O ziri ezi nʼiwu ka nwoke gbaa nwunye ya alụkwaghị m?”
And some Pharisees came, who, to try him, asked him, Is it lawful for the husband to divorce his wife?
3 Ma ọ zara ha sị, “Gịnị ka Mosis nyere unu nʼiwu?”
He answering, said to them, What precept has Moses given you on this subject?
4 Ha sịrị, “Mosis kwenyere ka nwoke dee asambodo alụkwaghị m, nye nwunye ya ma zilaga ya.”
They replied, Moses has permitted us to write her a bill of divorcement, and dismiss her.
5 Jisọs sịrị ha, “Ọ bụ nʼihi na obi unu siri ike nke ukwuu ka o ji deere unu iwu a.
Jesus answering, said to them, Because of your untractable disposition, Moses gave you this permission.
6 Ma na mmalite nke okike ụwa, Chineke ‘kere ha nwoke na nwanyị.’
But from the beginning, at the creation, God made them a male and a female.
7 ‘Nʼihi nke a ka nwoke ga-eji hapụ nne ya na nna ya e jikọta ya na nwunye ya.
For this reason a man shall leave his father and mother, and shall adhere to his wife,
8 Ha abụọ ga-abụ otu anụ ahụ.’Ya mere, ha abụkwaghị mmadụ abụọ ọzọ, kama otu anụ ahụ.
and they two shall be one flesh. They are, therefore, not longer two, but one flesh.
9 Ya mere, ihe Chineke jikọtara, ka mmadụ ọbụla atọsala ya.”
What then God has conjoined, let no man separate.
10 Mgbe ha banyere nʼụlọ, ndị na-eso ụzọ ya jụrụ ya ọzọ ihe banyere okwu a.
And, in the house, his disciples asked him anew concerning this matter.
11 Ọ sịrị ha, “Onye ọbụla gbara nwunye ya alụkwaghị m ma lụrụ nwanyị ọzọ na-eme mmehie ịkwa iko megide ya.
He said to them, Whosoever divorces his wife, and marries another, commits adultery against her;
12 Ma ọ bụrụ na nwanyị ọbụla agbaa dị ya alụkwaghị m ma lụrụ nwoke ọzọ, ọ na-emekwa mmehie ịkwa iko.”
and if a woman divorce her husband, and marry another, she commits adultery.
13 Ndị mmadụ na-ekutere ya ụmụntakịrị ka o metụ ha aka, ma ndị na-eso ụzọ ya baara ha mba.
Then they brought children to him, that he might touch them; but the disciples rebuked those who brought them.
14 Ma mgbe Jisọs hụrụ nke a, iwe were ya nke ukwuu, ọ sịrị ha, “Hapụnụ ụmụntakịrị ka ha bịakwute m. Unu egbochikwala ha. Nʼihi na alaeze Chineke bụ nke ndị dị otu a.
Jesus perceiving this, was offended, and said, Allow the children to come to me, do not hinder them; for of such is the kingdom of God.
15 Nʼeziokwu asị m unu, onye ọbụla nke na-agaghị anabata alaeze Chineke dị ka nwantakịrị agaghị aba nʼime ya.”
Indeed, I say to you, whosoever will not receive the kingdom of God as a child, shall never enter it.
16 Mgbe ahụ, o kuuru ha nʼaka ya, bikwasị ha aka ya abụọ ma gọzie ha.
Then taking them up in his arms, and laying his hands upon them, he blessed them.
17 Mgbe ọ na-ebili njem, otu nwoke gbaara ọsọ bịa gbuo ikpere nʼihu ya. Ọ jụrụ ya sị, “Ezi onye ozizi ọma, gịnị ka m ga-eme ka m keta ndụ ebighị ebi?” (aiōnios g166)
As he went out into the road, one came running to him, who, kneeling, asked him, Good Teacher, what must I do to inherit eternal life? (aiōnios g166)
18 Jisọs sịrị ya, “Gịnị mere i ji akpọ m ezi mmadụ? Ọ dịghị onye ọbụla bụ ezi mmadụ ma ọ bụghị naanị Chineke.
Jesus answered, Why do you call me good? God alone is good.
19 Ị maara ihe niile enyere nʼiwu: ‘Egbula mmadụ, a kwala iko, e zula ohi, a gbala ama ụgha, a ghọgbula mmadụ ibe gị, sọpụrụ nne na nna gị.’”
Do you know the commandments? Do not commit adultery; do not commit murder; do not steal; do not give false testimony; do no injury; honor your father and mother.
20 Ọ sịrị ya, “E, onye ozizi, Edebezuchaala m ha niile siterị na mgbe m bụ nwata.”
The other replied, Rabbi, I have observed all these from my childhood.
21 Jisọs lere ya anya, hụ ya nʼanya. Mgbe ahụ, ọ gwara ya sị, “Ọ fọdụrụ naanị otu ihe ị ga-eme. Laa, ugbu a, ree ihe niile i nwere, nyekwa ndị ogbenye ego i retara. I mesịa nke a, ị ga-enwe akụ nʼeluigwe. Mgbe ahụ bịaghachi soro m.”
Jesus, looking upon him, loved him, and said to him, In one thing, nevertheless, you are deficient. Go, sell all that you have, and give the price to the poor, and you shall have treasure in heaven; then come, and follow me, carrying the cross.
22 Mgbe ọ nụrụ okwu a, ihu ya gbarụrụ. O sitere nʼebe ahụ pụọ na mwute, nʼihi na ọ bụ ọgaranya nke nwere ọtụtụ akụnụba.
But he was troubled at this answer, and went away sorrowful; for he had great possessions.
23 Jisọs legharịrị anya gwa ndị na-eso ụzọ ya sị, “Lee ka o si bụrụ ihe rara ahụ na onye ọgaranya ga-abanye nʼalaeze Chineke.”
Then Jesus looking around him, said to his disciples, How difficult it is for the wealthy to enter the kingdom of God!
24 Okwu ya tụrụ ndị na-eso ụzọ ya nʼanya, ma Jisọs gwakwara ha ọzọ sị, “Ụmụntakịrị, ọ bụ nnọọ ihe rara ahụ ịbanye nʼalaeze Chineke.
The disciples were astonished at his words; but Jesus resuming the discourse, said, Children, how difficult is it for them, who confide in wealth, to enter the kingdom of God!
25 Ọ dịrị ịnyịnya kamel mfe isite nʼanya agịga gafee, karịa onye ọgaranya ịbanye nʼalaeze Chineke.”
It is easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God.
26 Okwu a jubigara ha anya oke. Ha jụrịtara ibe ha sị, “Onye kwanụ ka a ga-azọpụta?”
At this they were still more amazed, and said one to another, Who then can be saved?
27 Ma Jisọs lere ha anya sị ha, “Nʼebe mmadụ nọ, ọ bụ ihe rara ahụ. Ma nʼebe Chineke nọ, ihe niile dị mfe. Ọ dịghị ihe rara Chineke ahụ ime.”
Jesus looking upon them, said, To men it is impossible, but not to God; for to God all things are possible.
28 Pita malitere ịgwa ya sị, “Anyị ahapụla ihe niile soro gị!”
Then Peter took occasion to say, As for us, we have forsaken all, and followed you.
29 Jisọs sịrị, “Nʼezie, nʼezie, agwa m unu, ọ dịghị onye ọbụla hapụrụ ụlọ ya, maọbụ ụmụnne ya ndị nwoke, maọbụ ụmụnne ya ndị nwanyị, maọbụ nne ya, maọbụ nna ya, maọbụ ụmụntakịrị ya, maọbụ ala ubi ya nʼihi m, na nʼihi oziọma a,
Jesus answering, said, Indeed, I say to you, there is none who shall have forsaken his his house, or brothers, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, for my sake and the gospel's;
31 Ma ọtụtụ ndị bu ụzọ ga-abụ ndị ikpeazụ, ma ọtụtụ ndị ikpeazụ ga-abụkwa ndị bu ụzọ.”
But many shall be first, who are last, and last, who are first.
32 Ha nọ nʼụzọ na-aga Jerusalem, ma Jisọs nọ nʼihu ha, nke a juru ndị na-eso ụzọ ya nʼanya. Otu a kwa, ndị mmadụ niile na-abịa ha nʼazụ tụkwara egwu. Ọzọkwa, ọ kpọpụrụ mmadụ iri na abụọ ahụ nʼakụkụ, malite ịgwa ha ihe gaje ịdakwasị ya.
As they were on the road to Jerusalem, Jesus walking before them, a panic seized them, and they followed him with terror. Then taking the twelve aside, he told them again what would befall him.
33 Ọ sịrị, “Leenụ, anyị na-aga Jerusalem, ebe a ga-arara Nwa nke Mmadụ nyefee nʼaka ndịisi nchụaja na ndị ozizi iwu. Ha ga-ama ya ikpe ọnwụ, nyefekwa ya nʼaka ndị mba ọzọ.
Behold, says he, we are going to Jerusalem, where the Son of Man shall be delivered to the chief priests, who will condemn him to die, and deliver him to the Gentiles,
34 Ha ga-akwa ya emo, gbụsakwa ya ọnụ mmiri asụ, pịa ya ihe ma gbukwaa ya. Ma mgbe ụbọchị atọ gasịrị, ọ ga-esite nʼọnwụ bilie.”
who will mock him, and scourge him, and spit upon him, and kill him; but the third day he shall rise again.
35 Jemis na Jọn ụmụ Zebedi bịakwutere ya. Ha sịrị ya, “Onye ozizi, anyị chọrọ ka i meere anyị ihe ọbụla anyị rịọrọ.”
Then James and John, the sons of Zebedee, accosted him, saying, Rabbi, we beg you would grant us what we purpose to ask.
36 Ọ sịrị ha, “Gịnị ka unu chọrọ ka m meere unu?”
He said to them, what would you have me grant you?
37 Ha sịrị ya, “Kwere ka otu onye nʼime anyị nọrọ nʼaka nri gị, onye nke ọzọ nʼaka ekpe gị nʼime ebube gị.”
They answered, That when you shall have attained your glory, one of us may sit at your right hand, and the other at your left.
38 Ma Jisọs sịrị ha, “Unu amataghị ihe unu na-arịọ. Unu pụrụ ịṅụ iko ahụ mụ onwe m ga-aṅụ maọbụ bụrụ ndị a ga-eme ụdị baptizim a ga-eme m?”
Jesus replied, You know not what you ask. Can you drink such a cup as I am to drink; and undergo an immersion like that which I must undergo?
39 Ha zaghachiri ya, “Anyị pụrụ.” Jisọs sịrị ha, “Unu ga-aṅụ iko m ga-aṅụ, a ga-emekwa unu baptizim nke a ga-eme m.
They answered, We can. Jesus said to them, You shall indeed drink such a cup, as I am to drink, and undergo an immersion like that which I must undergo;
40 Ma ịnọdụ nʼaka nri m maọbụ nʼaka ekpe m abụghị ihe dịrị m inye, kama ọnọdụ ndị a dịịrị ndị a kwadooro ha.”
but to sit at my right hand, and left, I can not give, unless to those for whom it is appointed.
41 Mgbe mmadụ iri ndị ọzọ nụrụ nke a, iwe jupụtara ha obi nʼihi Jemis na Jọn.
The ten hearing this, conceived indignation against James and John.
42 Ma Jisọs kpọkọtara ha niile sị ha, “Dị ka unu onwe unu maara, ndị eze nke ndị mba ọzọ, na ndị a maara aha ha, na-eji aka ike na-achị ndị nọ nʼokpuru ha.
But Jesus having called them together, said to them, You know that those who are accounted the princes of the nations, domineer over them; and their great ones exercise authority upon them;
43 Ma nʼetiti unu ọ gaghị adị otu a. Kama onye ọbụla chọrọ ịdị ukwuu nʼetiti unu ga-abụ onye na-ejere unu ozi.
but it must not be so amongst you. On the contrary, whosoever would be great amongst you, shall be your servant;
44 Onye ọbụla nke chọrọ ịbụ onye mbụ nʼetiti unu, ga-abụ ohu mmadụ niile.
and whosoever would be the chief, shall be the slave of all.
45 Nʼihi na Nwa nke Mmadụ abịaghị ka e jeere ya ozi. Kama ka o jee ozi ma nyekwa ndụ ya ka ọ bụrụ ihe mgbapụta nke ọtụtụ mmadụ.”
For even the Son of Man came not to be served, but to serve, and to give his life a ransom for many.
46 Mgbe ha ruru Jeriko, dị ka Jisọs na ndị na-eso ụzọ ya na ọtụtụ igwe mmadụ sitere nʼobodo Jeriko na-apụ, otu nwoke kpuru ìsì aha ya bụ Batimiọs (aha ya pụtara “nwa nwoke Timiọs”), onye arịrịọ nọdụrụ ala nʼakụkụ ụzọ.
Then they came to Jericho. Afterward, as he was departing thence, with his disciples, and a great crowd, blind Bartimeus, son of Timeus, who sat by the way-side begging,
47 Mgbe ọ nụrụ na ọ bụ Jisọs onye Nazaret na-agafe, o bidoro iti mkpu na-asị, “Jisọs, nwa Devid, meere m ebere!”
hearing that it was Jesus the Nazarene, cried, saying, Jesus Son of David, have pity upon me!
48 Ọtụtụ mmadụ bara ya mba ka o mechie ọnụ. Ma ọ nọgidesịrị ike na-eti mkpu na-asị, “Nwa Devid, meere m ebere!”
Many charged him to be silent, but he cried still the louder, Son of David, have pity upon me!
49 Jisọs kwụsịrị kwuo sị, “Kpọọnụ ya.” Ya mere ha kpọrọ onye ìsì ahụ, sị ya, “Mesaa ihu gị bilie nʼụkwụ gị, ọ na-akpọ gị.”
Jesus stopping, ordered them to call him. Accordingly they called the blind man, saying to him, Take courage; arise, he calls you.
50 Ọ tufuru uwe mwụda ya, wulie nʼụkwụ ya, bịakwute Jisọs.
Then throwing down his mantle, he sprang up, and went to Jesus.
51 Jisọs sịrị ya, “Gịnị ka ị chọrọ ka m meere gị?” Onye ìsì ahụ sịrị ya, “Onye ozizi m, achọrọ m ka m hụ ụzọ.”
Jesus addressing him, said, What do you wish me to do for you? Rabboni, answered the blind man, to give me my sight.
52 Jisọs sịrị ya, “Laa, okwukwe gị azọpụtala gị.” Nʼotu oge ahụ, o bidoro ịhụ ụzọ, sorokwa ya gawa nʼụzọ ahụ.
Jesus said to him, Go; your faith has cured you. Immediately he recovered his sight, and followed Jesus in the way.
