Matiu 19
1 Mgbe Jisọs kwusiri okwu ndị a, o hapụrụ Galili gaa na mpaghara Judịa, nke dị nʼofe osimiri Jọdan.
AND it was that when Jeshu had finished these words, he removed from Galila and came into the confines of Jehud beyond Jurdan.
2 Igwe mmadụ dị ukwuu sooro ya. Ọ gwọkwara ndị ahụ na-esighị ike nʼetiti ha nʼebe ahụ.
And great multitudes came after him, and he healed them there.
3 Ụfọdụ ndị Farisii bịakwutere ya i nwalee ya, sị, “O ziri ezi nʼiwu na nwoke ga-agbara nwunye ya alụkwaghị m nʼihi ihe ọbụla?”
And the Pharishee approached him, and, tempting him, propounded to him whether it was lawful for a man to send away his wife for every cause.
4 Ọ zara ha sị, “Ọ bụ na unu agụtabeghị na akwụkwọ nsọ, na Onye kere ha na mbụ kere ha nwoke na nwanyị.
But he answered and said to them, Have you not read that He who created from the beginning, male and female hath made them?
5 Nʼihi nke a ka nwoke ga-eji hapụ nne ya na nna ya e jikọta ya na nwunye ya. Ha abụọ ga-abụkwa otu anụ ahụ.
And he said, On this account a man shall leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave to his wife, and they two shall be one flesh.
6 Ya mere, ha abụkwaghị mmadụ abụọ ọzọ, kama otu anụ ahụ. Ya mere, ihe Chineke jikọtara, ka mmadụ ọbụla atọsala ya.”
Wherefore they were not two, but one body. That, therefore, which Aloha hath conjoined, man shall not separate.
7 Ha jụrụ ya sị, “Gịnị mekwaranụ Mosis ji nye iwu si na nwoke ọbụla nwere ohere ide akwụkwọ alụkwaghị m nye nwunye ya?”
They said to him, Why then did Musha direct that he should give a writing of dismissal and send her away?
8 Ọ zara ha sị ha, “Ọ bụ nʼihi na unu bụ ndị mkpọchi obi, ya mere Mosis jiri hapụ unu ka unu gbaa nwunye unu alụkwaghị m; ma ọ dịghị otu a site na mbụ.
He said to them, Musha, on account of the hardness of your heart, permitted you to send away your wives; but from the beginning it was not so.
9 Ma ana m asị unu, onye ọbụla ga-ahapụ nwunye ya lụrụ onye ọzọ, ma ọ bụghị nʼihi na o jidere nwunye ya na mmehie ịkwa iko, onye ahụ emeela mmehie ịkwa iko ma ọ lụọ nwanyị ọzọ.”
And I say to you that whosoever shall forsake his wife who is not adulterous, and take another, committeth adultery; and whosoever taketh the deserted one, committeth adultery.
10 Ndị na-eso ụzọ ya sịrị ya, “Ọ bụrụ na o si otu a dịrị, ọ ka mma na mmadụ alụghị nwunye ma ọlị.”
His disciples say to him, If thus be the case between the man and the woman, it is not expedient to take a wife.
11 Ma ọ zara sị ha, “Ọ bụghị mmadụ niile ga-anagide okwu a. Naanị ndị e nyere ike ime ya ga-anagide ya.
But he said to them, Not every man is sufficient for this doctrine, but he to whom it is given.
12 Ma ụfọdụ ndị mmadụ ka a mụrụ ka ha bụrụ onozi, ndị ọzọ bụkwa ndị mmadụ ibe ha mere otu a. Ndị ọzọ dịkwa ndị jiri aka ha họrọ ibu onozinʼihi alaeze eluigwe. Onye pụrụ ịnara nke a, ya nara ya.”
For there are some eunuchs who from their mother's womb are born so; and there are some eunuchs who by men are made eunuchs; and there are eunuchs who have made themselves eunuchs on account of the kingdom of heaven. Whosoever is capable of receiving (this), let him receive (it).
13 Mgbe ahụ e kuteere ya ụmụntakịrị ka o bikwasị ha aka, kpeekwara ha ekpere. Ma ndị na-eso ụzọ ya baara ndị kutere ha mba.
Then they brought to him children, that he should put his hand upon them and pray. And his disciples forbad them.
14 Ma Jisọs sịrị ha, “Kweenụ ka ụmụntakịrị bịakwute m, unu egbochikwala ha. Nʼihi na alaeze eluigwe bụ nke ndị dị otu a.”
But Jeshu himself said, Suffer children to come unto me, and forbid them not; for of those who are as these, is the kingdom of heaven.
15 O bikwasịrị ha aka nʼisi gọzie ha niile tupu ọ hapụ ha pụọ.
And he put his hand upon them, and went thence.
16 Otu onye bịakwutere ya, jụọ ya ajụjụ sị, “Ezi onye ozizi, olee ezi ihe m ga-eme ka m keta ndụ ebighị ebi?” (aiōnios g166)
AND one came and approached and said to him, Good teacher, what of good shall I do, that I may have the life of eternity? (aiōnios g166)
17 Jisọs sịrị ya, “Gịnị mere i ji ajụ m ajụjụ banyere ihe bụ ezi ihe? Ọ dị naanị otu onye nke bụ ezi mmadụ. Ọ bụrụ na ị chọrọ ịba nʼime ndụ ahụ, debe iwu niile e nyere.”
But he said to him, Why dost thou call me good? none is good but one, Aloha. But if thou wilt enter into life, keep the commandments.
18 Ọ jụrụ ya ajụjụ sị, “Olee iwu ndị m ga-edebe?” Jisọs zara ya, “‘Egbula mmadụ, akwala iko, ezula ohi, ekwula okwu ụgha.
He said to him, Which? Jeshu answered him, Thou shalt not kill, neither commit adultery, nor steal, neither shalt thou witness false testimony;
19 Sọpụrụ nne gị na nna gị. Ọzọ, hụkwa onye agbataobi gị nʼanya dị ka onwe gị.’”
and honour thy father and thy mother, and love thy neighbour as thyself.
20 Nwokorobịa ahụ sịrị ya, “Edebezuchaala m iwu ndị a siterịị na mgbe m dị na nwata. Gịnị ọzọ fọdụụrụ m ime?”
The young man saith to him, These all have I kept from my childhood: how am I deficient?
21 Jisọs zara sị ya, “Ọ bụrụ na ị chọrọ ịbụ onye zuruoke nʼezie, laa nʼụlọ gị ree ihe niile i nwere, nyekwa ndị ogbenye ego i retara. Ị ga-enwe akụ nʼeluigwe, mgbe ahụ, bịakwa soro m.”
Jeshu saith to him, If thou wilt become perfect, go, sell thy possession and give to the poor, and there shall be for thee a treasure in heaven: and come after me.
22 Mgbe nwokorobịa ahụ nụrụ okwu a, ọ lara na mwute, nʼihi na ọ bụ ọgaranya.
But he, the young man, heard this word, and went away with sadness, for he had great property.
23 Mgbe ahụ Jisọs gwara ndị na-eso ụzọ ya sị, “Nʼezie agwa m unu, ọ bụ nnọọ ihe siri ike na onye ọgaranya ga-abanye nʼalaeze eluigwe.
But Jeshu said to his disciples, Amen I say unto you, that it is difficult for the rich to enter the kingdom of heaven.
24 Ọzọkwa, asị m unu, ọ dịịrị ịnyịnya kamel mfe ịgafe nʼanya agịga, karịa ọgaranya ịbanye nʼalaeze Chineke.”
Again I say to you, that it is easier for a camel to enter through the aperture of a needle, than the rich to enter into the kingdom of Aloha.
25 Okwu a o kwuru tụrụ ndị na-eso ụzọ ya nʼanya. Ha sịrị, “Ọ bụrụ na o si otu a dịrị, onye kwanụ ka a ga-azọpụta?”
But the disciples when they heard were greatly hurt, saying, Who then can be saved?
26 Jisọs legidere ha anya sị ha, “Nʼebe mmadụ nọ nke a bụ ihe a na-apụghị ime, ma ọ dịghị ihe rara ahụ ime nʼebe Chineke nọ.”
Jeshu, beholding them, said, With the sons of men it is not possible; but with Aloha every thing is possible.
27 Mgbe ahụ Pita jụrụ ya sị, “Lee, anyị ahapụla ihe niile soro gị, gịnị ga-abụ ụgwọ ọrụ anyị?”
THEN answered Kipha and said to him, Behold, we have abandoned every thing, and have come after thee: what then shall there be for us?
28 Jisọs zara sị ya, “Nʼezie agwa m unu, mgbe a ga-agbanwe ihe niile, mgbe Nwa nke Mmadụ ga-anọkwasị nʼelu ocheeze ebube ya, nʼalaeze ahụ, nʼezie, unu bụ ndị na-eso ụzọ m ga-anọkwasị nʼocheeze iri na abụọ ahụ, na-ekpe ebo iri na abụọ nke Izrel ikpe.
Jeshu saith to them, Amen I say to you, that you who have come after me, in the new world, when the Son of man shall sit upon the throne of his glory, you also shall sit upon twelve seats, and shall judge the twelve tribes of Isroel.
29 Onye ọbụla hapụrụ ụlọ ya, na ụmụnne ya nwoke, na ụmụnne ya nwanyị, na nne ya na nna ya, na ụmụntakịrị ya, maọbụ ala o nwere, soro m, ga-anata dị ka ụgwọ ọrụ okpukpu narị ihe ọ hapụrụ, natakwa alaeze. Ọ ga-eketakwa ndụ ebighị ebi. (aiōnios g166)
And every man who hath relinquished houses, or brethren, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or lands, on account of my name, shall receive a hundred-fold, and shall inherit the life of eternity, (aiōnios g166)
30 Ma ọtụtụ ndị bu ụzọ ga-abụ ndị ikpeazụ, ma ndị ikpeazụ ga-abụkwa ndị bu ụzọ.”
Many however are first who shall be last, and the last first.
