Matiu 10
1 Jisọs kpọrọ ndị na-eso ụzọ ya iri na abụọ nye ha ikike ịchụpụ mmụọ na-adịghị ọcha, na ịgwọ nrịa nrịa na ọrịa niile dị iche iche.
And having called in his twelve disciples, he gave them authority over unclean spirits, so as to cast them out, and to heal every sickness and every disease.
2 Nke a bụ aha ndị ozi iri na abụọ ahụ: Saimọn (onye a na-akpọkwa Pita) na Andru nwanne Saimọn; Jemis nwa Zebedi, na Jọn nwanne ya.
Now the names of the twelve apostles are these: First, Simon, who is called Peter, and Andrew his brother, James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother,
3 Filip na Batalomi; Tọmọs na Matiu onye ọna ụtụ; Jemis nwa Alfiọs, na Tadiọs.
Philip, and Bartholomew, Thomas, and Matthew the tax collector, James the son of Alphaeus, and Lebbaeus who was surnamed Thaddaeus,
4 Saimọn onye a na-akpọ Zilọt na Judas Iskarịọt, onye raara ya nye nʼaka ndị gburu ya.
Simon the Canaanite, and Judas Iscariot, who also betrayed him.
5 Ndị ikom iri na abụọ ndị a ka Jisọs nyere ikike zipụ. Maara ha ọkwa sị ha: “Unu agala nʼebe ndị mba ọzọ, maọbụ nʼebe ndị Sameria nọ.
These twelve Jesus sent forth, having ordered them, saying, Go not into a way of the Gentiles, and enter not into a city of the Samaritans,
6 Kama jekwurunụ ụmụ Izrel, ndị bụ atụrụ furu efu.
but go rather to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.
7 Mgbe unu na-aga, na-ekwusaaranụ ha sị, ‘alaeze eluigwe a dịla nso.’
And while going, preach, saying, The kingdom of the heavens has come near.
8 Gwọọnụ ndị ọrịa, kpọteenụ ndị nwụrụ anwụ, meenụ ka ahụ ndị ekpenta dị ọcha, chụpụkwanụ mmụọ ọjọọ. Nʼefu ka unu natara. Ya mere, nyenụ nʼefu.
Heal those who are feeble, cleanse the lepers, cast out demons. Freely ye received, freely give.
9 “Mgbe unu na-aga, unu anatala ọlaọcha maọbụ ọlaedo, maọbụ ọla ọbụla tinye nʼime belịt unu.
Acquire no gold, nor silver, nor copper in your belts,
10 Unu ejikwala akpa maka njem unu, maọbụ uwe abụọ, maọbụ akpụkpọụkwụ, maọbụ mkpanaka. Nʼihi na onye ọrụ kwesiri ihe e ji azụ ya.
no bag for the road, nor two coats, nor shoes, nor staffs, for the workman is worthy of his provision.
11 Ma obodo ọbụla maọbụ ogbe ọbụla unu bara nʼime ya, chọọnụ ụfọdụ ndị kwesiri nsọpụrụ bi nʼobodo ahụ. Nọgidekwanụ nʼụlọ ha ruo mgbe unu ga-ahapụ obodo ahụ.
And into whatever city or village ye may enter, inquire who in it is worthy, and there abide until ye go forth.
12 Mgbe unu na-abanye nʼụlọ ahụ, keleenụ ndị bi na ya sị, udo dịrị unu.
And while entering into the house, salute it.
13 Ọ bụrụ na ndị nọ nʼụlọ ahụ anabata unu, meenụ ka udo unu bịakwasị nʼụlọ ahụ. Ọ bụrụkwanụ na ha anabataghị unu, ka udo unu lọghachikwute unu.
And if indeed the house is worthy, let your peace come upon it, but if it is not worthy, let your peace return to you.
14 Ọ bụrụ na onye ọbụla anabataghị unu, maọbụ jụ ịnụrụ okwu unu, mgbe unu na-ahapụ ụlọ ahụ maọbụ obodo ahụ kụchapụnụ aja dị nʼụkwụ unu.
And whoever will not receive you, nor hear your words, while departing that house or that city, shake off the dust of your feet.
15 Nʼeziokwu, ọ ga-adịrị obodo ahụ njọ nʼụbọchị ikpe karịa obodo Sọdọm na Gọmọra.
Truly I say to you, it will be more tolerable for the land of Sodom and Gomorrah in the day of judgment, than for that city.
16 “Ana m ezipu unu dị ka atụrụ nʼetiti agụ. Ya mere, nweenụ uche dịka agwọ. Burunu ndị a na-apụghị ịta ụta dịka nduru.
Behold, I send you forth as sheep in the midst of wolves. Become ye therefore wise as serpents, and innocent as doves.
17 Kpachapụnụ anya. Nʼihi na a ga-enyefe unu nʼaka nzukọ ndị ụlọ ikpe, pịaakwa unu ihe nʼụlọ ekpere ha.
But beware of men, for they will deliver you up to councils, and they will scourge you in their synagogues,
18 A ga-ekpe unu ikpe nʼihu ndị na-achị achị na nʼihu ndị eze nʼihi m. Ma nke a ga-enye unu ohere ịgwa ha ihe banyere m. E, nke a ga-enye unu ohere ịgba ama banyere m nye ndị mba ọzọ.
and ye will be brought to governors and even kings because of me, for a witness to them and to the Gentiles.
19 Mgbe ha jidere unu na-ekpe unu ikpe, unu echegbula onwe unu banyere ihe unu ga-ekwu, maọbụ otu unu ga-esi kwuo ya. Nʼihi na a ga-eme ka unu mata ihe unu ga-ekwu nʼoge ahụ.
But when they deliver you up, be not anxious how or what ye should speak, for it will be given you in that hour what ye will speak.
20 Nʼihi na ọ bụghị unu ga-ekwu nʼonwe unu. Kama Mmụọ nke Nna unu bi nʼeluigwe ga-esite nʼọnụ unu kwuo okwu.
For ye are not who speak, but the Spirit of your Father speaking in you.
21 “Nwanne ga-arara nwanne ya nye ka e gbuo ya, nna ga-ararakwa nwa ya nye. Ụmụ ga-ebili megide ndị mụrụ ha mee ka e gbuo ha.
And a brother will deliver up a brother to death, and a father a child. And children will rise up against parents, and condemn them to death.
22 Mmadụ niile ga-akpọ unu asị nʼihi m. Ma onye ga-eguzosi ike ruo ọgwụgwụ ka a ga-azọpụta.
And ye will be hated by all men because of my name, but he who endures to the end, this man will be saved.
23 Mgbe ọbụla ndị mmadụ sogburu unu nʼotu obodo gbalaganụ nʼobodo ọzọ. Nʼezie, asị m unu, unu agaghị agazucha obodo niile nke Izrel tupu Nwa nke Mmadụ alọghachi.
But when they persecute you in this city, flee into the other, for truly I say to you, ye will, no, not have completed the cities of Israel, until the Son of man comes.
24 “Nwata akwụkwọ adịghị akarị onye nkuzi ya. Ohu adịghị akarịkwa nna ya ukwu.
A pupil is not above his teacher, nor a bondman above his lord.
25 O zuorela onye na-eso ụzọ onye nkuzi ka ọ dị ka onye nkuzi ya, na ohu ahụ ka ọ dị ka onyenwe ya. Ọ bụrụ na a kpọrọ nna nwe ụlọ Belzebub, a ga-esi aṅaa ghara ịkpọ ndị ezinaụlọ ya ihe karịrị nke a?
It is enough for the pupil that he becomes like his teacher, and the bondman like his lord. If they have called the house-ruler Beelzebub, how much more those of his household.
26 “Ya mere unu atụla ha egwu. O nweghị ihe ọbụla e kpuchiri ekpuchi nke a na-agaghị ekpughe, maọbụ ihe e zoro ezo nke a na-agaghị eme ka ọ pụta ìhè.
Fear them not therefore, for there is nothing covered, that will not be revealed, and hid, that will not be known.
27 Ihe m na-agwa unu ugbu a na nzuzo, kọsaanụ ya mgbe chi bọrọ. Ihe m ji nwayọọ mee ka ọ baa unu na ntị, nọdụnụ nʼelu ụlọ kwusaa ya.
What I tell you in the darkness, speak ye in the light, and what ye hear in the ear, proclaim upon the housetops.
28 Unu atụla egwu ndị pụrụ igbu naanị anụ ahụ unu, ma ha enweghị ike ịmetụ mkpụrụobi unu aka. Kama onye unu ga-atụ egwu bụ Onye ahụ nwere ike imebi anụ ahụ unu na mkpụrụobi, tụbakwa ha nʼọkụ ala mmụọ. (Geenna g1067)
And be not afraid of those who kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul. But rather fear him who is able to destroy both soul and body in hell. (Geenna g1067)
29 Ọ bụghị otu kobo ka a na-ere ụmụ nza abụọ? Ma otu nʼime ha agaghị ada nʼala ma ọ bụrụ na Nna unu bi nʼeluigwe amaghị.
Are not two sparrows sold for a penny? And not one of them will fall on the ground independent of your Father.
30 Ọ bụladị agịrị isi dị nʼisi unu ka a maara ọnụọgụgụ ha.
But even the hairs of your head are all numbered.
31 Ya mere, unu atụla egwu. Unu dị oke ọnụ karịa ọtụtụ ụmụ nza.
Fear not therefore, ye are of worth more than many sparrows.
32 “Ya mere, onye ọbụla kwupụtara m nʼihu ụmụ mmadụ, ka mụ onwe m ga-ekwupụta nʼihu Nna m bi nʼeluigwe.
Therefore every man, whoever will profess in me before men, I also will profess in him before my Father in the heavens.
33 Ma onye ọbụla na-agọnarị m nʼihu ndị mmadụ, mụ onwe m ga-agọnarịkwa ya nʼihu Nna m bi nʼeluigwe.
But whoever would deny me before men, I also will deny him before my Father in the heavens.
34 “Unu echekwala na m bịara iweta udo nʼụwa. Abịaghị m iweta udo, kama ọ bụ iwebata mma agha.
Think not that I came to spread peace on the earth. I came not to spread peace, but a sword.
35 Abịara m ime, “‘Ka nwoke megide nna ya, ka nwa nwanyị megide nne ya, ka nwunye nwa megide nne di ya,
For I came to divide a man against his father, and a daughter against her mother, and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law.
36 ndị iro mmadụ ga-abụ ndị ezinaụlọ ya.’
And a man's foes, are those of his own household.
37 “Ọ bụrụ na ị hụrụ nne gị maọbụ nna gị nʼanya karịa m, i kwesighị ịbụ onye nke m. Ọ bụrụ na ị hụrụ nwa gị nwoke, maọbụ nwa gị nwanyị nʼanya karịa m, i kwesighị ịbụ onye nke m.
He who loves father or mother above me is not worthy of me, and he who loves son or daughter above me is not worthy of me.
38 Onye ọbụla na-eburughị obe ya soro m, ekwesighị ị bụ onye nke m.
And he who does not take his cross and follow behind me, is not worthy of me.
39 Onye ọbụla chọtara ndụ ya ga-etufu ya, ma onye ọbụla tufuru ndụ ya maka m, ga-achọtakwa ya.
He who finds his life will lose it, and he who loses his life because of me will find it.
40 “Ndị niile nabatara unu na-anabata m. Mgbe ha nabatara m, ọ bụkwa Onye ahụ zitere m ka ha na-anabata.
He who receives you receives me, and he who receives me receives him who sent me.
41 Ọ bụrụ na unu anabata onye amụma nʼihi na ọ bụ onye amụma, unu na onye amụma ahụ ga-enwekọ otu ụgwọ ọrụ. Ọ bụrụkwa na unu anabata onye ezi omume nʼihi ezi omume ya, unu ga-esorokwa ya nata ụgwọ ọrụ nke onye ezi omume.
He who receives a prophet in the name of a prophet will receive a prophet's reward, and he who receives a righteous man in the name of a righteous man will receive a righteous man's reward.
42 Ọ bụrụ na onye ọbụla ekunye otu nʼime ndị a na-eso ụzọ m mmiri oyi ka ọ ṅụọ, nʼihi na ọ bụ onye na-eso ụzọ m, nʼezie, asị m unu, ọ ghaghị ịnata ụgwọ ọrụ ya.”
And whoever may give to drink one of these little ones merely a cold cup in the name of a disciple, truly I say to you he will, no, not lose his reward.
