1 Mgbe ụbọchị ole na ole gafesịrị, ọ bataghachiri na Kapanọm. Ndị mmadụ nụrụ na ọ lọghachila.
And after some days He went again into Capernaum; and it being heard that He was in the house,
2 Igwe mmadụ zukọtara nʼime ụlọ ahụ nke mere na ohere afọdụghị ọ bụladị nʼọnụ ụzọ. O kwusakwaara ha oziọma.
great numbers were immediately gathered together, so that there was no more room to contain them, not even about the door: and as he was preaching the word unto them,
3 Ndị ikom ụfọdụ buteere ya otu nwoke ahụ ya kpọnwụrụ akpọnwụ. Ọ bụ mmadụ anọ bu ya.
there came some to Him, bringing a paralytic who was carried by four men:
4 Ebe ha na-enweghị ike ibutere ya Jisọs nʼihi igwe mmadụ, ha gwupuru oghere nʼelu ụlọ ebe ahụ ọ nọ. Mgbe ha gwupusiri ya, ha budatara onye ahụ ahụ ya kpọnwụrụ akpọnwụ nʼute o jiri dina.
and not being able to come near to Him for the croud, they uncovered the roof where He was, and when they had made an openning, they let down the couch on which the paralytic was laid.
5 Mgbe Jisọs hụrụ okwukwe ha, ọ sịrị onye ahụ ahụ ya kpọnwụrụ akpọnwụ, “Nwa m nwoke, agbagharala gị mmehie gị.”
And Jesus, seeing their faith, saith to him that had the palsy, Son, thy sins are forgiven thee.
6 Ma ụfọdụ ndị ozizi iwu nọdụrụ ala nʼebe ahụ na-eche nʼime obi ha sị,
But there were some of the scribes sitting there, and reasoning in their hearts,
7 “Gịnị mere onye a ji na-ekwulu Chineke? Onye pụrụ ịgbaghara mmehie ma ọ bụghị naanị Chineke?”
Why doth this man thus speak blasphemies? who can forgive sins but God?
8 Ngwangwa Jisọs matara nʼime mmụọ ya na ha na-atule okwu a nʼime obi ha. Ọ sịrị ha, “Gịnị mere unu ji na-eche ihe dị otu a nʼobi unu?
And Jesus, who knew immediately in his spirit that they were thus reasoning within themselves, said unto them, Why do ye dispute these things in your hearts?
9 Olee nke ka mfe: ọ bụ ịgwa onye a akụkụ ahụ ya kpọnwụrụ akpọnwụ, ‘A gbagharala gị mmehie gị niile,’ ka ọ bụ i sị, ‘Bilie chịrị ute gị jegharịa?’
Which is easier, to say to the paralytic, Thy sins are forgiven; or to say, Rise, take up thy couch, and walk?
10 Ma igosi unu na Nwa nke Mmadụ nwere ikike nʼụwa ịgbaghara mmehie.” Ọ sịrị onye ahụ akụkụ ahụ ya kpọnwụrụ akpọnwụ,
But that ye may know, that the Son of man hath power on earth to forgive sins,
11 “Ana m asị gị, bilie, chịrị ute gị laa nʼụlọ gị.”
I say unto thee (saith He to the paralytic, ) Arise, and take up thy couch, and go thy way to thine own house.
12 O biliri, chịrị ute ya pụọ nʼihu mmadụ niile. Nke a juru ndị niile nọ nʼebe ahụ anya. Ha toro Chineke na-asị, “Anyị ahụbeghị ihe dị otu a mbụ!”
And he instantly arose, and taking up his couch, went out before them all, so that they were all amazed, and glorified God, saying, we never saw the like.
13 Emesịa, Jisọs pụrụ gaa nʼakụkụ osimiri ahụ. Igwe mmadụ bịakwutere ya. Ọ malitere izi ha ihe.
And He went out again towards the sea-side, and all the people resorted to Him, and He taught them.
14 Mgbe ọ na-aga nʼihu, ọ hụrụ Livayị nwa Alfiọs ka ọ nọdụrụ ala nʼụlọ ịnakọta ụtụ. Ọ sịrị ya, “Soro m,” o biliri sooro ya.
And as He went along, He saw Levi the son of Alpheus, sitting at the receit of custom, and saith unto him, Follow me: and he rose up and followed Him.
15 Mgbe ọ na-eri nri uhuruchi nʼụlọ Livayị, ọtụtụ ndị ọna ụtụ na ndị mmehie soro ya na ndị na-eso ụzọ ya nọrọ ebe ahụ, nʼihi na ndị na-esogharị ya dị ọtụtụ.
And as He sat at table in his house, many publicans and sinners also sat down with Jesus and his disciples: for there were many, and they followed Him.
16 Mgbe ndị ozizi iwu nke ndị Farisii hụrụ ya ka o so ndị mmehie na ndị ọna ụtụ na-eri nri, ha jụrụ ndị na-eso ụzọ ya sị, “Gịnị mere o ji eso ndị mmehie na ndị ọna ụtụ na-erikọ nri?”
And the scribes and pharisees, when they saw Him eating with publicans and sinners, said to his disciples, What is the meaning that He eateth with publicans and sinners?
17 Mgbe ọ nụrụ nke a, Jisọs sịrị ha, “Mkpa dibịa adịghị akpa ndị ahụ dị ike, kama ọ bụ ndị ahụ na-esighị ike. Abịaghị m ịkpọ ndị ezi omume kama ndị mmehie.”
Which Jesus hearing, saith unto them, They that are in health have no need of a physician, but they that are ill: I came not to call the righteous, but sinners.
18 Nʼoge a, ndị na-eso ụzọ Jọn na ndị Farisii na-ebu ọnụ. Ndị mmadụ bịara jụọ ya sị, “Gịnị mere ndị na-eso ụzọ Jọn na ndị na-eso ụzọ ndị Farisii ji ebu ọnụ, ma ndị nke gị adịghị ebu ọnụ?”
And as the disciples of John, and of the pharisees used to fast, they came to Him, saying, Why do the disciples of John and of the pharisees fast, but thy disciples fast not?
19 Jisọs sịrị ha, “O kwesiri na ndị a kpọrọ oriri ọlụlụ di na nwunye ga-ebu ọnụ mgbe onye na-alụ nwunye ọhụrụ nọ nʼetiti ha? Ha apụghị ibu ọnụ ogologo oge ya na ha nọ.
And Jesus said unto them, Can the bridemen fast, when the bridegroom is with them? while the bridegroom is with them, they cannot fast:
20 Ma oge na-abịa mgbe a ga-ewepụ onye na-alụ nwunye ọhụrụ. Nʼụbọchị ahụ ka ha ga-ebu ọnụ.
but the days will come, when the bridegroom shall be taken from them; and then shall they fast.
21 “Ọ dịghị onye na-eji akwa ọhụrụ kwachie ebe akwa ochie siri dọkaa. Ọ bụrụ na o mee nke a, akwa ọhụrụ ahụ ga-adọkapụ site na nke ochie mee ka ndọka ya dị njọ karịa.
No man seweth a piece of new cloth on an old garment; otherwise, it's new patch teareth from the old, and the rent is made worse:
22 Ọ dịghị onye na-agbanye mmanya ọhụrụ na karama akpụkpọ ochie. O mee nke a, mmanya ahụ ga-agbawa karama akpụkpọ ochie ahụ, mee ka karama na mmanya laa nʼiyi. Ee, a na-agbanye mmanya ọhụrụ nʼime karama akpụkpọ ọhụrụ.”
nor does any one put new wine into old vessels; otherwise the new wine bursteth the vessels, and the wine is spilt, and the vessels are destroyed: but new wine should be put into new vessels.
23 Otu ụbọchị izuike, ya na ndị na-eso ụzọ ya na-agafe nʼubi a kụrụ ọka. Dị ka ha na-agafe, ndị na-eso ụzọ ya malitere ịghọ ụfọdụ ogbe ọka nʼime ọka ndị ahụ.
And as He was going thro' the corn-fields on the sabbath-day, his disciples began as they went along to pluck the ears of corn.
24 Ndị Farisii siri ya, “Lee, gịnị mere ha ji na-eme ihe megidere iwu nʼụbọchị izuike.”
And the pharisees said to Him, See, why do they what is not lawful to be done on the sabbath-day?
25 Ma ọ sịrị ha, “Unu agụtaghị ihe Devid na ndị so ya mere mgbe agụụ gụrụ ha?
And He said unto them, Have ye never read what David did, in his necessity, when he was hungry, himself and those that were with him?
26 Nʼoge Abịata bụ onyeisi nchụaja, ọ banyere nʼụlọ Chineke taa achịcha e chere nʼihu ya, nke ziri ezi na ọ bụ naanị ndị nchụaja kwesiri ịta ya. O nyetụkwara ndị ya na ha so.”
how he went into the house of God in the days of Abiathar, who was afterwards the high priest, and did eat the shew-bread, which it is not lawful for any to eat, but the priests, and gave also to them that were with him!
27 Mgbe ahụ, ọ gwakwara ha sị, “E mere ụbọchị izuike maka mmadụ, emeghị mmadụ maka ụbọchị izuike.”
And He said moreover unto them, The sabbath was made for man, not man for the sabbath:
28 Ya mere, Nwa nke Mmadụ bụ Onyenwe ọ bụladị ụbọchị izuike.
and therefore the Son of man is Lord even of the sabbath.
