Mak 8
1 Nʼoge ahụ, igwe mmadụ ọzọ zukọrọ. Ebe ha na-enweghị ihe ha ga-eri, ọ kpọrọ ndị na-eso ụzọ ya sị ha,
In those dayes, when there was a very great multitude, and had nothing to eate, Iesus called his disciples to him, and said vnto them,
2 “Enwere m ọmịiko nʼebe igwe mmadụ ndị a nọ. Nke a na-eme ya ụbọchị atọ anyị na ha nọ. Ugbu a, ha enweghị ihe ha ga-eri.
I haue compassion on the multitude, because they haue nowe continued with mee three dayes, and haue nothing to eate.
3 Ọ bụrụ na m ezilaga ha nʼụlọ ha, ụfọdụ nʼime ha ga-ada nʼụzọ nʼihi agụụ. Nʼihi na ụfọdụ ha si nʼebe dị anya bịa.”
And if I sende them away fasting to their owne houses, they woulde faint by the way: for some of them came from farre.
4 Ndị na-eso ụzọ ya zara ya, “Ebee ka mmadụ ga-achọta achịcha ga-ezuru ndị a nʼime ọzara a?”
Then his disciples answered him, Whence can a man satisfie these with bread here in the wildernes?
5 Jisọs jụrụ ha sị, “Ogbe achịcha ole ka unu nwere?” Ha zara sị, “Asaa.”
And hee asked them, Howe many loaues haue ye? And they said, Seuen.
6 Ọ gwara igwe mmadụ ahụ ka ha nọdụ ala. O weere ogbe achịcha asaa ahụ kpee ekpere. Ọ nyawasịrị ha, nye ha ndị na-eso ụzọ ya ka ha kee igwe mmadụ ahụ niile. Ha kekwara ya nye igwe mmadụ ahụ.
Then he commanded the multitude to sit downe on the grounde: and hee tooke the seuen loaues, and gaue thankes, brake them, and gaue to his disciples to set before them, and they did set them before the people.
7 Ha nwekwara azụ ole na ole. O weere ya kpee ekpere, ọ gwara ha ka ha kesaakwa ya.
They had also a few small fishes: and when he had giuen thankes, he commanded them also to be set before them.
8 Ha riri, rijuo afọ. Ha tụtụkọtara iberibe achịcha dafuru nʼebe ndị a nọ rie nri. Ha tụtụjuru nkata asaa.
So they did eate, and were sufficed, and they tooke vp of the broken meate that was left, seuen baskets full.
9 Ndị riri nri a ruru ihe dịka puku mmadụ anọ. Mgbe ahụ o zilagara ha.
(And they that had eaten, were about foure thousand) so he sent them away.
10 Ngwangwa, ya na ndị na-eso ụzọ ya banyere nʼụgbọ mmiri gaa nʼakụkụ obodo Dalmanuta.
And anon he entred into a ship with his disciples, and came into the parts of Dalmanutha.
11 Ndị Farisii bịakwutere ya malite nrụrịta ụka, na-achọ ihe ịrịbama si nʼeluigwe, iji nwalee ya.
And the Pharises came foorth, and began to dispute with him, seeking of him a signe from heauen, and tempting him.
12 Ọ sụrụ ude nke ukwuu nʼime onwe ya sị, “Gịnị mere ọgbọ a ji achọ ihe ịrịbama? Nʼezie, nʼezie, agwa m unu, o nweghị ihe ịrịbama a ga-egosi ọgbọ a.”
Then hee sighed deepely in his spirit, and saide, Why doeth this generation seeke a signe? Verely I say vnto you, a signe shall not be giuen vnto this generation.
13 Ọ hapụrụ ha nʼebe ahụ banyekwa nʼụgbọ mmiri ọzọ, ịgafe nʼofe ọzọ nke osimiri ahụ.
So he left them, and went into the ship againe, and departed to the other side.
14 Ndị na-eso ụzọ ya chefuru iwere achịcha. Ọ bụ naanị otu ogbe achịcha fọdụụrụ ha nʼime ụgbọ.
And they had forgotten to take bread, neither had they in the shippe with them, but one loafe.
15 Ọ dọrọ ha aka na ntị sị, “Kpacharanụ anya. Lepụnụ anya maka ihe na-eko achịcha ndị Farisii na nke Herọd.”
And he charged them, saying, Take heede, and beware of the leauen of the Pharises, and of the leauen of Herod.
16 Ha kparịtara ụka nʼetiti onwe ha na-asị, “Ọ bụ nʼihi na anyị enweghị achịcha.”
And they reasoned among themselues, saying, It is, because we haue no bread.
17 Mgbe Jisọs ghọtara isi mkparịta ụka ha, ọ jụrụ ha sị, “Gịnị mere unu ji na-ekwu okwu maka enweghị achịcha? Ọ pụtara na unu adịghị ahụ maọbụ aghọta? Obi unu o siri ike?
And when Iesus knew it, he said vnto them, Why reason you thus, because ye haue no bread? perceiue ye not yet, neither vnderstande? haue ye your hearts yet hardened?
18 Unu nwere anya nke na-adịghị ahụ ụzọ? Unu nwere ntị ma unu adịghị anụ ihe? Ọ ga-abụ na unu adịghị echeta?
Haue yee eyes, and see not? and haue yee eares, and heare not? and doe ye not remember?
19 Mgbe m ji ogbe achịcha ise zụọ puku mmadụ ise, iberibe achịcha juru nkata ole ka unu tụtụkọtara?” Ha zara sị ya, “Nkata iri na abụọ.”
When I brake the fiue loaues among fiue thousand, how many baskets full of broken meate tooke ye vp? They said vnto him, Twelue.
20 “Mgbe m ji ogbe achịcha asaa zụọ puku mmadụ anọ, iberibe achịcha juru nkata ole ka unu tụtụkọtara?” Ha zara sị ya, “Nkata asaa.”
And when I brake seuen among foure thousande, howe many baskets of the leauings of broken meate tooke ye vp? And they said, Seuen.
21 Ọ sịrị ha, “Unu ka nọ na-enweghị nghọta?”
Then he saide vnto them, Howe is it that ye vnderstand not?
22 Mgbe ha ruru Betsaida, ụfọdụ mmadụ kpọtaara ya otu onye ìsì rịọọ ya ka o metụ ya aka,
And hee came to Bethsaida, and they brought a blinde man vnto him, and desired him to touch him.
23 Ọ duuru onye ìsì ahụ nʼaka pụọ nʼazụ obodo. Mgbe ahụ, ọ gbụsara ọnụ mmiri nʼanya ya metụkwa ya aka nʼanya. Ọ jụrụ ya sị, “Ị na-ahụ ihe ọbụla?”
Then he tooke the blinde by the hand, and ledde him out of the towne, and spat in his eyes, and put his handes vpon him, and asked him, if he sawe ought.
24 Nwoke ahụ leliri anya elu ma sị, “Ana m ahụ ndị mmadụ ma ha dị ka osisi na-agagharị agagharị.”
And he looked vp, and said, I see men: for I see them walking like trees.
25 Nke ugboro abụọ Jisọs metụkwara ya aka nʼanya, mgbe ahụ anya ya meghere. O bidoro ịhụ ihe niile nke ọma.
After that, he put his hands againe vpon his eyes, and made him looke againe. And hee was restored to his sight, and sawe euery man a farre off clearely.
26 Ọ zilagara ya ụlọ ya sị ya, “Abanyekwala nʼime obodo.”
And hee sent him home to his house, saying, Neither goe into the towne, nor tell it to any in the towne.
27 Mgbe ahụ Jisọs na ndị na-eso ụzọ ya gara nʼobodo nta ndị ọzọ dị gburugburu Sizaria Filipai. Mgbe ha na-aga nʼụzọ, ọ jụrụ ndị na-eso ụzọ ya sị, “Onye ka ndị mmadụ na-asị na m bụ?”
And Iesus went out, and his disciples into the townes of Cesarea Philippi. And by the way hee asked his disciples, saying vnto them, Whome doe men say that I am?
28 Ha zara ya sị, “Ụfọdụ na-asị na ị bụ Jọn omee baptizim, ndị ọzọkwa sị na ị bụ Ịlaịja maọbụ otu nʼime ndị amụma.”
And they answered, Some say, Iohn Baptist: and some, Elias: and some, one of the Prophets.
29 Ma ọ jụrụ ha sị, “Ma unu onwe unu, ọ bụ onye ka unu na-asị na m bụ?” Pita zara sị, “Ị bụ Kraịst ahụ.”
And he said vnto them, But whome say ye that I am? Then Peter answered, and saide vnto him, Thou art that Christ.
30 Ọ dọrọ ha aka na ntị sị ha agwakwala onye ọbụla ihe banyere ya.
And he sharpely charged them, that concerning him they should tell no man.
31 Emesịa, o bidoro izi ha ihe na Nwa nke Mmadụ aghaghị ịhụ ọtụtụ ahụhụ dị iche iche, ndị okenye, na ndịisi nchụaja na ndị ozizi iwu ga-ajụ ya, na aghaghị igbu ya, ma ọ ga-ebili nʼọnwụ mgbe ụbọchị nke atọ gasịrị.
Then hee began to teache them that the Sonne of man must suffer many things, and should be reproued of the Elders, and of the hie Priestes, and of the Scribes, and be slaine, and within three dayes rise againe.
32 Ọ gwaghere ha ihe ndị a ọnụ. Ma Pita kpọọrọ ya pụọ nʼotu akụkụ, bido ịbara ya mba.
And he spake that thing boldly. Then Peter tooke him aside, and began to rebuke him.
33 Ma ọ tụgharịrị lee ndị na-eso ụzọ ya anya, baara Pita mba sị ya, “Si nʼebe m nọ pụọ ekwensu! Ihe ị na-eche echiche ya abụghị uche Chineke, ha bụ echiche mmadụ.”
Then he turned backe, and looked on his disciples, and rebuked Peter, saying, Get thee behinde me, Satan: for thou vnderstandest not the things that are of God, but the things that are of men.
34 Mgbe ahụ, ọ kpọrọ ndị na-eso ụzọ ya na igwe mmadụ ahụ. Ọ gwara ha sị, “Ọ bụrụ na onye ọbụla achọọ iso m, ya gụọ ndụ ya dị ka ihe furu efu. Mgbe ahụ, ya buru obe ya soro m nʼazụ.
And hee called the people vnto him with his disciples, and saide vnto them, Whosoeuer will follow me, let him forsake himselfe, and take vp his crosse, and follow me.
35 Nʼihi na onye na-azọ ndụ ya ka ọ ga-efunarị, ma onye ọbụla gụrụ ndụ ya dị ka ihe furu efu nʼihi m, na nʼihi oziọma m, ga-azọpụta ya.
For whosoeuer will saue his life, shall lose it: but whosoeuer shall lose his life for my sake and the Gospels, he shall saue it.
36 Uru gịnị ka ọ ga-abara mmadụ, iritecha ụwa niile nʼuru ma tufuo ndụ ha?
For what shall it profite a man, though he should winne the whole world, if he lose his soule?
37 Ọ dị ihe ọzọ dị nʼụwa mmadụ nwere ike iji gbanwere ndụ ya?
Or what exchange shall a man giue for his soule?
38 Ọ bụrụ na ihere na-eme onye ọbụla nʼihi m na nʼihi okwu m nʼụwa ọjọọ a, na nʼụwa mmehie a, ihere onye ahụ ga-emekwa Nwa nke Mmadụ, mgbe ọ ga-abịaghachi nʼebube nke Nna ya, ya na ndị mmụọ ozi dị nsọ.”
For whosoeuer shall be ashamed of mee, and of my wordes among this adulterous and sinfull generation, of him shall the Sonne of man be ashamed also, when he commeth in the glorie of his Father with the holy Angels.
