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 when he had called unto him his twelve disciples, he gave them power against unclean spirits, to cast them out, and to heal all manner of sickness and all manner of 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; The first, Simon, who is called Kepha, 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 publican; James the son of Alphaeus, and Lebbaeus, whose surname was 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 Yahushua sent forth, and commanded them, saying, Go not into the way of the Gentiles, and into any city of the Samaritans enter ye not:
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 as ye go, preach, saying, The kingdom of heaven is at hand.
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 the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, cast out devils: freely ye have received, freely give.
9 “Mgbe unu na-aga, unu anatala ọlaọcha maọbụ ọlaedo, maọbụ ọla ọbụla tinye nʼime belịt unu.
Provide neither gold, nor silver, nor brass in your purses,
10 Unu ejikwala akpa maka njem unu, maọbụ uwe abụọ, maọbụ akpụkpọụkwụ, maọbụ mkpanaka. Nʼihi na onye ọrụ kwesiri ihe e ji azụ ya.
Nor scrip for your journey, neither two coats, neither shoes, nor yet staves: for the workman is worthy of his meat.
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 whatsoever city or town ye shall enter, inquire who in it is worthy; and there abide till ye go thence.
12 Mgbe unu na-abanye nʼụlọ ahụ, keleenụ ndị bi na ya sị, udo dịrị unu.
And when ye come into an 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 the house be worthy, let your peace come upon it: but if it be 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 whosoever shall not receive you, nor hear your words, when ye depart out of that house or city, shake off the dust of your feet.
15 Nʼeziokwu, ọ ga-adịrị obodo ahụ njọ nʼụbọchị ikpe karịa obodo Sọdọm na Gọmọra.
Verily I say unto you, It shall be more tolerable for the land of Sodom and Gomorrha 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: be ye therefore wise as serpents, and harmless 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 the 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 shall be brought before governors and kings for my sake, for a testimony against them and 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, take no thought how or what ye shall speak: for it shall be given you in that same hour what ye shall 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 it is not ye that speak, but the Spirit of your Father which speaketh 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 the brother shall deliver up the brother to death, and the father the child: and the children shall rise up against their parents, and cause them to be put to death.
22 Mmadụ niile ga-akpọ unu asị nʼihi m. Ma onye ga-eguzosi ike ruo ọgwụgwụ ka a ga-azọpụta.
And ye shall be hated of all men for my name's sake: but he that endureth to the end shall 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 ye into another: for verily I say unto you, Ye shall not have gone over the cities of Israel, till the Son of man be come.
24 “Nwata akwụkwọ adịghị akarị onye nkuzi ya. Ohu adịghị akarịkwa nna ya ukwu.
The disciple is not above his teacher, nor the servant above his master.
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 disciple that he be as his teacher, and the servant as his master. If they have called the master of the house Beelzebub, how much more shall they call them 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 shall not be revealed; and hid, that shall 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 darkness, that speak ye in light: and what ye hear in the ear, that preach ye 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 fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear him which 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 farthing? and one of them shall not fall on the ground without your Father.
30 Ọ bụladị agịrị isi dị nʼisi unu ka a maara ọnụọgụgụ ha.
But the very hairs of your head are all numbered.
31 Ya mere, unu atụla egwu. Unu dị oke ọnụ karịa ọtụtụ ụmụ nza.
Fear ye not therefore, ye are of more value than many sparrows.
32 “Ya mere, onye ọbụla kwupụtara m nʼihu ụmụ mmadụ, ka mụ onwe m ga-ekwupụta nʼihu Nna m bi nʼeluigwe.
Whosoever therefore shall confess me before men, him will I confess also before my Father which is in heaven.
33 Ma onye ọbụla na-agọnarị m nʼihu ndị mmadụ, mụ onwe m ga-agọnarịkwa ya nʼihu Nna m bi nʼeluigwe.
But whosoever shall deny me before men, him will I also deny before my Father which is in heaven.
34 “Unu echekwala na m bịara iweta udo nʼụwa. Abịaghị m iweta udo, kama ọ bụ iwebata mma agha.
Think not that I am come to send peace on earth: I came not to send 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 am come to set a man at variance against his father, and the daughter against her mother, and the daughter in law against her mother in law.
36 ndị iro mmadụ ga-abụ ndị ezinaụlọ ya.’
And a man's foes shall be they 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 that loveth father or mother more than me is not worthy of me: and he that loveth son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me.
38 Onye ọbụla na-eburughị obe ya soro m, ekwesighị ị bụ onye nke m.
And he that taketh not his cross, and followeth after 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 that findeth his life shall lose it: and he that loseth his life for my sake shall 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 that receiveth you receiveth me, and he that receiveth me receiveth him that 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 that receiveth a prophet in the name of a prophet shall receive a prophet's reward; and he that receiveth a righteous man in the name of a righteous man shall 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 whosoever shall give to drink unto one of these little ones a cup of cold water only in the name of a disciple, verily I say unto you, he shall in no wise lose his reward.
