Luke 7
1 Jitia Jisu sob kotha to koi dise aru manu khan ke hunai dise, Tai Capernaum town te jaise.
After Jesus finished saying this to the people, he went [with his disciples] to Capernaum [town].
2 Aru Rome laga ekjon henapoti laga noukar, junke tai bisi morom kore, tai bemar pora mori bole hoi thakise.
There was a Roman army officer there who had a slave whom he thought highly of. This slave was so sick that he was about to die.
3 Aru jitia henapoti pora Jisu laga kotha hunise, tai Yehudi laga bura manu khan ke Jisu logote pathaise, Jisu pora jai kene tai laga noukar ke changai kori bole.
When the officer heard about Jesus, he [summoned] some Jewish elders. He told them to go to Jesus and ask him to come and heal his slave.
4 Aru jitia taikhan Jisu usorte ahise, taikhan Jisu ke eneka anurodh korise, “Tai ekjon bhal manu ase aru apuni eneka koridile bhal ase,
When they came to where Jesus was, they earnestly asked Jesus [to return with them]. They said, “This officer deserves that you [(sg)] do this [for him],
5 kelemane tai moi khan laga desh ke morom kore, aru tai moi khan nimite synagogue bhi bonai dise.”
because he loves us [Jewish] people, and he [paid the money to] build a synagogue for us.”
6 Etu pora Jisu taikhan logote jaise. Kintu Tai jitia ghor te punchibole usor hoise, etu henapoti pora manu ke pathaise, aru Taike koise, “Probhu, Apuni dukh nauthabi, kelemane Moi laga ghor bhitor te Apuni ahibole moi layak nohoi.
So Jesus went with them. When he was near the [officer’s] house, the officer [decided that it was not necessary for Jesus to come to his house. So he] summoned some friends. He [told them to] go to Jesus and tell him this: “Lord/Sir, do not bother to come. [Because I am a non-Jew], I am not worthy for you [(sg)], [a Jew], to come into my house [MTY] [and associate with me].
7 Etu nimite moi nijor bhi Apuni laga usorte ahibole layak nohoi, kintu Apuni ekta kotha koi dibi aru moi laga noukar changai pai jabo.
I did not feel worthy to come to you, [either]. But [please] command [that] my servant [be healed], and he will become well!
8 Moi nijor bhi ekta hukum chola manu ase, moi nichete sipahi khan ase. Moi ekjon ke kobo ‘Jabi’ aru tai jai; aru dusra ke kobo, ‘Ahibi’ aru tai ahe; aru moi laga noukar ke, ‘etu koribi,’ aru tai kore.”
[I believe this] because, as for me, there are people who have authority over me [and I obey them]. I also have soldiers under my [authority]. When I say to one of them, ‘Go!’ he goes. When I say to another ‘Come!’ he comes. When I say to my slave, ‘Do this!’ he does it. [And I believe that you speak with a similar kind of authority].”
9 Aru jitia Jisu etu kotha hunise, Tai bisi asurit hoise aru jun manu khan tai laga piche kori thakise, taikhan ke saikene koise, “Moi tumikhan ke koi ase, Israel te Moi eneka biswas thaka manu dikha nai.”
When [the officer’s friends arrived and] told that to Jesus, he marveled at what [the officer had said]. Then he turned and said to the crowd that was going with him, “I tell you, I have never before found anyone who trusted [in me like this non-Jewish man does]. No one from Israel, [where I would expect people to believe in me], has trusted in me like he has!”
10 Aru jitia etu manu khan ke ghor te pathai dise, taikhan noukar to bhal hoi kene thaka dikhise.
When those men returned to the officer’s house, they found that the slave was well.
11 Aru dusra dinte eneka hoise jitia Jisu Nain sheher te jaise, aru Tai laga chela aru dangor manu laga bhir bhi tai logote jai thakise.
Soon after that, Jesus went to a town called Nain. His disciples and a large crowd [of other people] went with him.
12 Aru jitia tai sheher laga dorjate ponchise, ekjon mora manu ke uthai loijai thaka Tai dikhise. Mora manu to tai laga bidhowa ama laga ekjon he thaka bacha asele-, aru sheher laga manu khan tai logote thakise.
As they approached the town gate, the corpse of a young man who had just died was being carried out [on a stretcher] {[people] were carrying out [on a stretcher] the corpse of a young man who had just died}. His mother was a widow, and he was her only son. A large group of people from the town were accompanying them.
13 Jitia Probhu taike dikhise, Tai etu ama ke bisi morom lagise aru taike koise, “Nakandibi.”
When the Lord saw her, he pitied her. He said to her, “Do not cry!”
14 Titia Jisu uthikena mora manu bukhi thaka chatai te chuise, aru mora manu ke bukhi thaka khan bhi ta te sidha khara hoi jaise. Titia Jisu koise, “Jawan manu, Moi tumike koi ase, uthi bhi.”
Then, [ignoring the Jewish laws about not coming near a corpse], he came close and touched the stretcher [on which the body was lying]. So the men carrying it stood still. He said, “Young man, I say to you, get up!”
15 Aru titia mora manu to bohi kene kotha kobole shuru hoise, aru Jisu pora etu chokra ke tai laga ama logot di dise.
The man sat up and began to talk! Jesus returned him to his mother [to care for her].
16 Aru etu dikhikene sob manu bhoi lagi jaise, aru Isor ke dhanyavad dibole shuru hoise, aru koise, “Ekjon dangor bhabobadi moi khan majote ahise” aru “Isor he manu uporte morom korise.”
Then everyone [there] was amazed/awestruck. They praised God, saying, “A great prophet has come among us!” They also said, “God has come to help his people!”
17 Aru Jisu laga etu khobor to Judea desh aru usorte thaka bosti, nogor sob te bhi khobor to punchise.
[Then they] reported what Jesus [had done] throughout all of Judea [district] and other nearby areas.
18 Aru John laga chela khan etu sob khobor to jai kene John ke koise. Titia John pora tai laga diuta chela khan ke matise,
The disciples of John [the Baptizer went to the prison where John was and] told him about those things.
19 aru taikhan ke Probhu ke hudibole pathaise, “Ahibole thaka Masiha to apuni ase naki, na amikhan to aru dusra ekjon ke rukhibo?”
So [one day] John summoned two [of his disciples] and [told them] to go to the Lord and ask him: “Are you [the Messiah who the prophets prophesied would come], or is it someone else that we should expect [to come]?”
20 Aru jitia taikhan Jisu usorte ahise, manu khan koise, “Baptizma Diya John pora amikhan ke etu hudibole nimite pathaise, ‘Ahibole thaka Masiha to apuni ase naki, na amikhan to aru dusra ekjon ke rukhibo?’”
When those two men came to Jesus, they said, “John the Baptizer sent us to ask you [(sg)] this: Are you [the Messiah that] we are expecting [God] to send, or shall we [(exc)] expect someone else?”
21 Etu homoi te Tai bisi manu ke bemar pora changai korise, biya atma pora dhora manu aru suku andha manu khan ke bhi changai korise.
At that very time Jesus was healing many people of their diseases and [other] sicknesses, he was [casting out] evil spirits, and he was causing many blind people to be able to see.
22 Titia Jisu pora taikhan ke koise, “Tumikhan yate pora ja pichete, John ke jai kene tumikhan ki dikhise aru hunise etu kobi. Andha manu khan dikhi pai ase, lengra khan bera bole pari ase, korhi bemar thaka khan sapha hoi ase aru kaan benga khan huni ase, mora manu jinda hoi ase, aru gorib manu khan susamachar laga kotha huni bole pai ase.
So he answered those two men, “Go back and report to John what you have seen [me doing] and what you have heard [me telling people. I am enabling] blind people to see. [I am enabling] lame people to walk. [I am] healing people who have leprosy. [I am enabling] deaf people to hear. [I am causing] dead people to become alive again, [and I am] telling [God’s] good message to poor people.
23 Dhonyo ase jun manu moi uporte biya napai.”
[Also tell John that God] is pleased with those who do not stop believing in me [because what I do is not what they expect the Messiah to do].”
24 Aru jitia John laga khobor bukha manu khan jai jaise, Jisu pora manu khan ke John laga kotha kobole shuru hoise, “Tumikhan balu jagate ki sabole jaise? Ekta hawa pora hilai diya jongol ghas to?
When the men whom John had sent left, Jesus began to talk to the crowd of people about John. He said to them, “[Think about] what sort of person you went to see in the desolate area [when you went there to see John] [RHQ]. [You did not go there to listen to a man who constantly changed the nature of his message] [MET], [like] a reed that is blown back and forth by the wind [RHQ].
25 Kintu tumikhan bahar te ki sabole jaise? Ekjon manu norom aru daam kapra lagai kene thaka to? Sabi, jun manu daam kapra lagai ase, aru aram pora thaki ase taikhan sob raja laga ghorkhan te pabo.
Then what kind of man did you go there to see [RHQ]? Was he [RHQ] a man who wore expensive clothes? No! [You know very well that] people who wear beautiful clothes and live in luxury are in kings’ palaces, [not in the desolate areas]!
26 Kintu tumikhan bahar te ki sabole nimite jaise? Ekjon bhabobadi? Hoi, moi tumikhan ke koise, tai to bhabobadi pora bhi dangor ase.
Then what [kind of person] did you go to see? [Did you] [RHQ] [go there to see John because he was] a prophet? Yes! But I will tell you that [John is] more [important] than an [ordinary] prophet.
27 Etu tai ase jun nimite etu Shastro te likha ase, ‘Sabi, Moi ekjon manu ke pathai ase, tumi laga chehera usorte te, Jun he rasta to taiyar koribo.’
He is the one about whom [these words] that God said to the Messiah have been written {[the prophet Malachi] wrote [these words]} [in the Scriptures]: ‘Listen! I am going to send my messenger ahead of you [(sg)] [SYN]. He will prepare [people] for your coming.’
28 Moi tumikhan ke koi ase, jun manu ama pora jonom loise, kun bhi John nisena dangor nai, kintu jun Isor laga rajyote sobse chutu ase, tai pora bhi dangor ase.”
I tell you that from among all the people who have ever lived, [God considers that] no one is greater than John. However, [God considers] everyone who has let God rule their [lives] [MET] to be greater than [John], [even if they are] insignificant [people].”
29 Aru jiman manu etu kotha hunise, poisa utha manu khan, aru John logote baptizma luwa khan sob Isor pora dharmik ase koi dise.
When they heard [what Jesus said] (OR, [what John preached]), all the people, including tax collectors, [whom many people despised], agreed that God’s way was right. By being baptized by John {By [letting] John baptize them}, [they had agreed that what God required people to do in order to be saved was right].
30 Kintu Pharisee khan aru niyom jana Yehudi khan Isor laga itcha namani kene baptizma luwa nai.
But the Pharisees and the men who taught the [Jewish] laws were not baptized by John {did not [let] John baptize them} because they rejected what God wanted them to do.
31 “Tinehoile, Moi, etiya laga jamana khan ke ki logote tulona koribo, taikhan ki nisena ase?
[Then Jesus also said], “[Many of] you people have heard what [John and I] have taught. (I will illustrate what you are like./Do you know what [many of] you people who have heard what [John and I] have taught are like?) [RHQ]
32 Taikhan bajar te thaka bacha khan nisena ase, bohi kene ekjon-ekjon ke mati kene koi, ‘Ami tumikhan usorte shadi laga basuri bojaise, tumikhan nach kora nai; moi khan mon dukh laga gana korise, hoilebi tumikhan kandia nai.’
You are like children who are [playing games] in an open area. [Some of them] are calling to [the others], saying, ‘We [(exc)] played happy music for you on the flute, but you did not dance! Then we sang sad funeral songs for you, but you did not cry!’
33 Baptizma Diya John to ahikena bhaat aru angur ros bhi khanai, aru tumikhan koi ase, ‘Tai logote bhoot ase.’
[Similarly, you people are dissatisfied with both John the Baptizer and me]! When John came and [preached to you], he did not eat [ordinary] food [SYN] or drink wine, [like most people do]. But you [rejected him], saying, ‘A demon is controlling him!’
34 Kintu Manu laga Putro ahikena kha luwa korise, aru tumikhan koi, ‘Sabi, taike, ekjon khakuwa aru nisa-pani kora, poisa utha khan aru dusra paapi manu laga sathi!’
In [contrast], [I], the one who came from heaven, eat [the same food] and drink [wine as others do]. But you [reject me], saying, ‘Look! [This man] eats too much food and drinks too much wine, and he associates with tax collectors and [other] sinners!’
35 Gyaan pora sob bhal aru biya to jani loi.”
But those who are [truly God’s] children [PRS] realize that [what John and I do is truly] wise.”
36 Ekjon Pharisee pora Jisu ke tai logote khabole matise. Tai Pharisee laga ghor te punchise, aru Tai khabole bohise.
[One day] one of the Pharisees [named Simon] invited Jesus to eat a meal with him. So Jesus went to the man’s house and reclined [to eat].
37 Etiya sabi, etu sheher te ekjon paapi mahila thakise. Jitia tai Jisu to Pharisee laga ghor te khabole bohi thaka dikhise, tai bhal gundh thaka bisi daam laga tel anise,
There was a woman in that city [who many people knew had been] a prostitute [EUP]. She heard that Jesus was eating in the Pharisee’s house. So she went there, taking a stone jar that contained perfume.
38 aru khara hoi kene Jisu laga theng usorte kandi kene tai laga suku pani pora Jisu laga theng bhi jai dise aru chuli pora mussi kene tai laga theng ke chumai dise, aru bhal gundh tel lagai dise.
[As the people there were reclining to eat], the woman stood behind [Jesus, at his] feet. As she was crying [because she was sorry for her sins, her tears fell on Jesus’ feet]. Then she wiped his feet with her hair, and kissed his feet, and anointed them with the perfume.
39 Etu dikhikene, Jisu ke mata Pharisee tai nije ke koise, “Jodi etu manu hosa bhi bhabobadi ase koile, Tai janibo thakise etu jun taike choi ase, etu kineka mahila ase.”
When the Pharisee who had invited [Jesus] saw that, he thought, “[Prophets know about other people’s lives], [so] if Jesus were a prophet, he would have known who this woman is who is touching him, and what kind of a person she is. He would have known that she is a prostitute! [EUP]”
40 Aru Jisu taike koise, “Simon, Moi tumike kiba kobole itcha ase.” Aru tai koise, “Koi dibi, Probhu!”
Jesus said to him, “Simon, there is something I want to tell you [(sg)].” He replied, “Teacher, what is it?”
41 “Duita manu poisa dhar loise. Ekjon pansho denari aru dusra to pachas denari loi kene thakise.
Jesus replied, “Two people owed some money to a man who [earned money by] lending [it to others]. One owed him 500 silver coins, and the other owed him 50 silver coins.
42 Aru jitia taikhan logote wapas dibole poisa thaka nai, malik pora duijon ke maph kori dise. Etu nimite kun manu pora taike bisi morom koribo?
Neither of them was able to pay back [what he owed], so the man [very kindly] said that they did not have to pay back anything. So, which of those two men will love that man more?”
43 Simon koise, “Moi hisab te junke tai bisi dhar to maph korise.” Titia Tai taike koise, “Tumi thik bhabona korise.”
Simon replied, “I think that the one who owed the most money and did not have to pay it back [will love him more].” Jesus said to him, “That is correct.”
44 Aru titia Jisu etu mahila phale saikene Simon ke koise, “Tumi etu mahila ke dikhi ase. Moi tumi laga ghor te ahise. Tumi Moike theng dhula bole pani bhi diya nai, kintu tai laga suku pani pora moi laga theng bhi jai dise, aru tai laga chuli pora mussi dise.
Then he turned toward the woman, and said to Simon, “(Think about [what] this woman [has done]!/Do you [(sg)] see [what] this woman [has done]?) [RHQ] When I entered your house, you [did not follow our custom of welcoming guests by] giving me any water [to wash] my feet, but this woman has wet my feet with her tears and then wiped them with her hair!
45 Tumi Moike ekta chuma bhi diya nai, kintu Moi jitia pora yate ahise tai moi laga theng to chuma dibole chara nai.
You did not [follow our custom of greeting by] kissing me, but since I came in, this woman has not stopped kissing my feet!
46 Tumi Moi laga matha te tel dhala nai, kintu tai Moi laga theng te bhal gundh thaka tel pora mussi se.
You did not [follow our custom of welcoming guests by] anointing my head with [olive] oil, but she has anointed my feet with fragrant perfume.
47 Etu nimite Moi tumike koi ase, tai laga paap bisi thakise, etu sob maph kori dise- kelemane tai bisi morom korise, kintu jun manu olop he maph kore, tai olop he morom kore.”
So I will tell you that even though this woman has sinned very much, she has been forgiven {[I] have forgiven her}. [By what she has done she has shown that] she loves [me] very much. But a person who has [sinned] just a little bit, but whom [I] have forgiven, will love [me just a little bit].”
48 Titia Jisu pora mahila ke koise, “Tumi laga paap sob khyama koridi ase.”
Then he said to the woman, “You have been forgiven {[I have] forgiven [you]} [for] your sins.”
49 Jun manu khan ta te bohi thakise taikhan majote kobole shuru hoise, “Etu kun ase, jun paap bhi maph kori bole pare?”
Then those who were eating with him said among themselves, “(This man must [think that he is God]!/Who does this man [think that he] is [RHQ]), saying that he can forgive [people for] their sins?”
50 Titia Jisu mahila ke koise, “Tumi laga biswas he tumike bachai loise. Shanti pora jabi.”
But Jesus said to the woman, “Because you have trusted [PRS] [in me, God] has saved you [from the guilt of your sins]. May [God] give you inner peace as you go!”
