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.
Jesus then rose from there and went to the region of Judea, traveling through the region beyond the Jordan, and crowds gathered around him again. And again he taught them, as he was accustomed to do.
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?”
Then some Pharisees came up to Jesus and tested him by asking, “Is it lawful for a man to divorce his wife?”
3 Ma ọ zara ha sị, “Gịnị ka Mosis nyere unu nʼiwu?”
He answered them, “What did Moses command you?”
4 Ha sịrị, “Mosis kwenyere ka nwoke dee asambodo alụkwaghị m, nye nwunye ya ma zilaga ya.”
They said, “Moses allowed a man to write a certificate of divorce and send her away.”
5 Jisọs sịrị ha, “Ọ bụ nʼihi na obi unu siri ike nke ukwuu ka o ji deere unu iwu a.
But Jesus answered them, “Because of your hardness of heart he wrote you this commandment.
6 Ma na mmalite nke okike ụwa, Chineke ‘kere ha nwoke na nwanyị.’
But from the beginning of creation, God ‘made them male and 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 will leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife,
8 Ha abụọ ga-abụ otu anụ ahụ.’Ya mere, ha abụkwaghị mmadụ abụọ ọzọ, kama otu anụ ahụ.
and the two will become one flesh.’ So then, they are no longer two, but one flesh.
9 Ya mere, ihe Chineke jikọtara, ka mmadụ ọbụla atọsala ya.”
Therefore what God has joined together, let no one separate.”
10 Mgbe ha banyere nʼụlọ, ndị na-eso ụzọ ya jụrụ ya ọzọ ihe banyere okwu a.
When they were back in the house, Jesus' disciples asked him about the same subject.
11 Ọ sịrị ha, “Onye ọbụla gbara nwunye ya alụkwaghị m ma lụrụ nwanyị ọzọ na-eme mmehie ịkwa iko megide ya.
So he said to them, “Whoever 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 divorces her husband and gets married to 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.
Now people were bringing children to Jesus so that he might touch them, but the disciples rebuked those who were bringing 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.
When Jesus saw this, he was indignant and said to them, “Let the little children come to me; do not hinder them, for the kingdom of God belongs to such as these.
15 Nʼeziokwu asị m unu, onye ọbụla nke na-agaghị anabata alaeze Chineke dị ka nwantakịrị agaghị aba nʼime ya.”
Truly I say to you, whoever does not receive the kingdom of God like a little child will certainly not enter it.”
16 Mgbe ahụ, o kuuru ha nʼaka ya, bikwasị ha aka ya abụọ ma gọzie ha.
And taking the children in his arms, he laid his hands on them and 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 was setting out on the road, a man ran up, knelt before him, and 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 said to him, “Why do yoʋ call me good? No one is good except God alone.
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.’”
Yoʋ know the commandments: ‘Do not commit adultery, Do not murder, Do not steal, Do not give false testimony, Do not defraud, Honor yoʋr father and mother.’”
20 Ọ sịrị ya, “E, onye ozizi, Edebezuchaala m ha niile siterị na mgbe m bụ nwata.”
The man answered him, “Teacher, I have kept all these commandments from the time I was a young boy.”
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.”
As Jesus looked at him, he felt love for the man and said to him, “One thing yoʋ lack: Go and sell all that yoʋ have and give to the poor, and yoʋ will have treasure in heaven. Then take up yoʋr cross and come follow me.”
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 the man was dejected by what Jesus said and went away sorrowful, for he had many 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 looked around and said to his disciples, “How difficult it will be for those who have riches 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 amazed at his words. But Jesus said to them again, “Children, how difficult it is for those who trust in riches 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 go through the eye of a needle than for a rich person to enter the kingdom of God.”
26 Okwu a jubigara ha anya oke. Ha jụrịtara ibe ha sị, “Onye kwanụ ka a ga-azọpụta?”
They were completely astonished at this and said to one 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 looked at them and said, “With men it is impossible, but not with God. For all things are possible with God.”
28 Pita malitere ịgwa ya sị, “Anyị ahapụla ihe niile soro gị!”
Peter began to say to him, “Behold, we have left everything and followed yoʋ.”
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 answered, “Truly I say to you, there is no one who has left house, brothers, sisters, father, mother, wife, children, or fields, for my sake and for the sake of the gospel,
31 Ma ọtụtụ ndị bu ụzọ ga-abụ ndị ikpeazụ, ma ọtụtụ ndị ikpeazụ ga-abụkwa ndị bu ụzọ.”
But many who are first will be last, and many who are last will be 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.
Now they were on the road going up to Jerusalem. Jesus was walking ahead of them, and they were amazed. But as they followed they became afraid. Again he took the twelve aside and began to tell them what was going to happen to 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, we are going up to Jerusalem, and the Son of Man will be delivered up to the chief priests and scribes. They will condemn him to death and hand him over 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.”
They will mock him, flog him, spit on him, and kill him. But on the third day he will 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, came to him and said, “Teacher, we want yoʋ to do for us whatever we ask.”
36 Ọ sịrị ha, “Gịnị ka unu chọrọ ka m meere unu?”
So he said to them, “What do you want me to do for 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 said to him, “Grant that one of us may sit on yoʋr right and the other on yoʋr left in yoʋr glory.”
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?”
But Jesus said to them, “You do not know what you are asking. Are you able to drink the cup that I drink, and to be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with?”
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 said to him, “We are able.” Then Jesus said to them, “You will indeed drink the cup that I drink, and be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with,
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 on my right and on my left is not mine to give, but is for those for whom it has been prepared.”
41 Mgbe mmadụ iri ndị ọzọ nụrụ nke a, iwe jupụtara ha obi nʼihi Jemis na Jọn.
When the ten heard this, they started becoming indignant with 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.
So Jesus called them over and said to them, “You know that those who are recognized as rulers of the Gentiles lord it over them, and their great men exercise authority over 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 shall not be so among you. Instead, whoever wants to be great among you must be your servant,
44 Onye ọbụla nke chọrọ ịbụ onye mbụ nʼetiti unu, ga-abụ ohu mmadụ niile.
and whoever wants to be first among you must be a slave to 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 as 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. Now as Jesus was leaving Jericho, along with his disciples and a large crowd, the blind man Bartimaeus, son of Timaeus, was sitting by the road 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!”
When he heard that it was Jesus of Nazareth, he began to cry out, “Son of David, Jesus, have mercy on 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 people began rebuking him, telling him to be silent, but he cried out all the more, “Son of David, have mercy on 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.”
Then Jesus stopped and asked for him to be called over. So they called out to the blind man and said to him, “Take courage and get up; he is calling for yoʋ.”
50 Ọ tufuru uwe mwụda ya, wulie nʼụkwụ ya, bịakwute Jisọs.
Throwing off his cloak, he rose and came 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.”
Then Jesus said to him, “What do yoʋ want me to do for yoʋ?” The blind man said to him, “Rabboni, I want to receive 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; yoʋr faith has healed yoʋ.” Immediately he received his sight and began following Jesus on the road.
