Luke 7 (AQK) · Opened

1Mi Yesu na reng ater boboˈ wo ya andishir, asi awa rir Kafarnahum.When Jesus had concluded His discourse in the hearing of the people, He went to Capernaum.

2Asi gan awu ningur abi rop akpa Roma nung, Atikop ama anyer wu awowon, aro na dik tsap aba kuu.There a highly valued servant of a centurion was sick and about to die.

3Na wo reng atu yi Yesu, asi awa atum aningur ani Yahuda anung aba ti ben Yesu, ti aba nyi ti nam gan ama ti aba wyer.When the centurion heard about Jesus, he sent some Jewish elders to ask Him to come and heal his servant.

4Bana koma ni Yesu ta ben wu awowon, “Ai, awama nati wabi rak wuma.They came to Jesus and pleaded with Him earnestly, “This man is worthy to have You grant this,

5Ati awa na ta andishir ambor nyima ta aya amme kwara kop ku bing.”for he loves our nation and has built our synagogue.”

6Yesu na dzip ba. Mi na atip anyi kpap yi kopa, asi ningur atum adzidzen ama nung aba ban Yesu, wa Atikop, kɨr saˈ tumi je sang. Ba ngga ni mmar awami wa nyi kop mung baˈ.So Jesus went with them. But when He was not far from the house, the centurion sent friends with the message: “Lord, do not trouble Yourself, for I am not worthy to have You come under my roof.

7Ngga ni nto itu mung ba ngga ni mmar nyi niwa baˈ, wati reng ankyaˈ gan amung ati wyer.That is why I did not consider myself worthy to come to You. But just say the word, and my servant will be healed.

8Nema ngga sini tsi yami abi rop akpa basi ayok amung. Ngga tin di awama, ba koma ati koma, ni ngga tin di awama, ba nyi na awa nyi, ngga tin di gan amung, nam ki yiya, na awa nam.For I myself am a man under authority, with soldiers under me. I tell one to go, and he goes, and another to come, and he comes. I tell my servant to do something, and he does it.”

9Yesu na wo ama, asi mis tu ma. Ta kam ma ato abami azip wu, ngga ban gina, ming Israˈila ba ngga ni yik nung awami asi ni zup didik yi tsi mi yiyama baˈ.When Jesus heard this, He marveled at the centurion. Turning to the crowd following Him, He said, “I tell you, not even in Israel have I found such great faith.”

10Asi abami na tumba bana kam angaˈ kopa, ati yik gan na wyer.And when the messengers returned to the house, they found the servant in good health.

11Bi ni agong baˈ, asi Yesu na koma ntun nung, agyo ya ti Nayin, amun koma ne andishir nidum na tsin ndo nawu.Soon afterward, Jesus went to a town called Nain. His disciples went with Him, accompanied by a large crowd.

12Mi na tip anyi anutsir ku rir ntuna, asi anung agir kum Vɨnanzak nung aruma, asi awa ankyaˈ nyir iyama, asi uwa nikur. Andishir abi ntuna nidum ba dzip wu.As He approached the town gate, He saw a dead man being carried out, the only son of his mother, and she was a widow. And a large crowd from the town was with her.

13Mi Atikop na yik uwama, asi awa ro susun ma, tadi uwama, “Dung gin na.”When the Lord saw her, He had compassion on her and said, “Do not weep.”

14Asi awa tip akoma ta tuu atakpa ni kum ma, asi andishir abami agir wu siba gbur atir. Yesu adi, “Vɨnanzak ngga di wabi gur tir.”Then He went up and touched the coffin, and those carrying it stood still. “Young man,” He said, “I tell you, get up!”

15Ni kuu ma na ngura song ta avung reng. Asi Yesu napwu anik iyama.And the dead man sat up and began to speak! Then Jesus gave him back to his mother.

16Asi ba shuma ni shishi boboˈ, ta gbar saˈ Arik tadi, “Awa ma asi ni reng ne antinte Arik nung nkpyaˈ na far aru ming mbor,” aba di, Arik na nyi ti aba ta andishira ma ashur.A sense of awe swept over all of them, and they glorified God. “A great prophet has appeared among us!” they said. “God has visited His people!”

17Reng ku kiyami Yesu na nam, ni rir koneni Yahudiya ne mung ntun yi kon na tong ama.And the news about Jesus spread throughout Judea and all the surrounding region.

18Asi amun kop Yohana na ban wu kiki yiyama boboˈ. Asi awa gyo awaa ming man na.Then John’s disciples informed him about all these things.

19Asiwa tum ba ne Atikop, aba ti rip wu, “Wa sine ti nyima yi, ko kwara bi saˈ ayi ni nung ni?”So John called two of his disciples and sent them to ask the Lord, “Are You the One who was to come, or should we look for someone else?”

20Mi bana rir ni Yesu, asi aba di, Yohana ni Baftisma na tum kwara bi rip wa, wa sine ti nyima yi, ko kwara bi saˈ ayi ni nung ni?When the men came to Jesus, they said, “John the Baptist sent us to ask, ‘Are You the One who was to come, or should we look for someone else?’”

21Nkpang kukuma Yesu na tsoˈ agura andishir abi iro nidum ta nam ba ming ku sang nga gbegbereng man neni roman, neni anerim ambombom. Abi afik nidum na nik ba yik abum.At that very hour Jesus healed many people of their diseases, afflictions, and evil spirits, and He gave sight to many who were blind.

22Asi Yesu tanyima tadi ba, gina bi kam koma ti ban gin Yohana kiyami gina ni yik, gina niya wo, abi anfik ayik, abi ngang ba tsin, abi ro ankpuˈ bana wyer, abi afik atong ba awo reng, abi kpyi na gur, na ya ban reng ku re ku abi sang nga ki.So He replied, “Go back and report to John what you have seen and heard: The blind receive sight, the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, the deaf hear, the dead are raised, and the good news is preached to the poor.

23Anu didik kasi ku abami baba na tar dza mbombom atu mung baˈ.Blessed is the one who does not fall away on account of Me.”

24Gong ka abami Yohana na tum ba na kam akoma, asi Yesu avung reng ne andishir atu yi Yohana, awa adi, gina ni koma to ani ankwang? Gina ni yer bito agega rire kami mgbungbu fuk ka yi?After John’s messengers had left, Jesus began to speak to the crowds about John: “What did you go out into the wilderness to see? A reed swaying in the wind?

25Ta nak asima baˈ, gina ni koma to ani? Asi ndishir nkpyaˈ ni dong awowon yi? Oo, abi dong ti shur ntuntur yi ankor ba song awore man tatuk etum.Otherwise, what did you go out to see? A man dressed in fine clothes? Look, those who wear elegant clothing and live in luxury are found in palaces.

26Ti, gina ni ru koma to ani? Ni reng ni antinte Arik yi? Ai, ngga ban gina, na nang ni reng ne antinte Arik.What then did you go out to see? A prophet? Yes, I tell you, and more than a prophet.

27Yohana awami na tse atu ma. Ti ngga wa ti tum vin kop mung aba riti, awami ti nam wa tsir aring ti sin ka nyi.'This is the one about whom it is written: ‘Behold, I will send My messenger ahead of You, who will prepare Your way before You.’

28Ngga ban gina, ming min boboˈ nyir amba, ba awami asi nkpyaˈ anang Yohana. Nema awami asi tsap anang song Arik na nang wu.I tell you, among those born of women there is no one greater than John, yet even the least in the kingdom of God is greater than he.”

29Boboˈ andishir ne abi ta ankor mmimi na wo Yesu, asi aba ta nyima tadi si ananan tsir Arik kasi didik, ti dung nati ba baftisma yi Yohana.All the people who heard this, even the tax collectors, acknowledged God’s justice. For they had received the baptism of John.

30Nema ani Farisi nebi nitsar amoˈ bana kak kiyami Arik atika nam atu man, asi aba kak dung Yohana aba ati ba Baftisma.But the Pharisees and experts in the law rejected God’s purpose for themselves, because they had not been baptized by John.

31Asi Atikop aban tadi, asi ani ngga ti bing nga ne andishir abi nkpang kama? Basi mi ani?“To what, then, can I compare the men of this generation? What are they like?

32Basi mi amumun abi song dup, aba gyo akpaman, ta di, “Kwara ni vɨr ntup, gina ni kak zura. Kwara ni dok gina aron ayi kuu, gina ni kaˈ gin na.,They are like children sitting in the marketplace and calling out to one another: ‘We played the flute for you, and you did not dance; we sang a dirge, and you did not weep.’

33To gin, Yohana ni Baftisma na nyi, bana ri kiri baˈ, bana so amashir inabi baˈ, nema gina di, Ai, asi ni anerim.For John the Baptist came neither eating bread nor drinking wine, and you say, ‘He has a demon!’

34Zu ndishir na nyi ta ri, ta so, gina di, gina ni yik wu asi ni iri ti so awowon, adzidzen ama asi abi ta ankor mmimi ne abi nam zup mbombom.The Son of Man came eating and drinking, and you say, ‘Look at this glutton and drunkard, a friend of tax collectors and sinners!’

35Ti si ama abami na ta ankpyeng ayi Arik anyima, bati gi yasi zup.”But wisdom is vindicated by all her children.”

36Awuni Farisi nung na ben Yesu ri kiri kopma, asi Yesu akoma ta jisong ti aba ti ri.Then one of the Pharisees invited Jesus to eat with him, and He entered the Pharisee’s house and reclined at the table.

37Asi uwa nung ntuna ni zup mbombom, mi na awo Yesu adibi ri kiri kop awuni Farisi ma, si wa anyi ta gir tandu anyi nisi shishim.When a sinful woman from that town learned that Jesus was dining there, she brought an alabaster jar of perfume.

38Ta tir gong ma iba ku adza ma ta dibi gin, asi amayi ama ya sher Yesu adza. Asi awa kin ni funfuk ituma, ta mang taya kin adza ma ni anyi nisi shishim.As she stood behind Him at His feet weeping, she began to wet His feet with her tears and wipe them with her hair. Then she kissed His feet and anointed them with the perfume.

39Awuni Farisi ma mi na gyo wu, na yik kiyama, asi awa di susun ma, “Basi ndishir awama asi ni reng ne antinte Arik, ba gi uwa ma asi nga ti achoˈ wu koˈ. Ba ya gi, uwa ma asi ni zup mbombom.”When the Pharisee who had invited Jesus saw this, he said to himself, “If this man were a prophet, He would know who this is and what kind of woman is touching Him—for she is a sinner!”

40Yesu a tanyima tadi, “Saminu, ngga si ni ki yi ban wa. Ban ngga nitsar,” asi awa di.But Jesus answered him, “Simon, I have something to tell you.” “Tell me, Teacher,” he said.

41Yesu adi, na ti ndishir nung azip andishira nung awaa kwar, gin dinari agina atung, ni waa ma soktung.“Two men were debtors to a certain moneylender. One owed him five hundred denarii, and the other fifty.

42Mi bana wang araˈ akana, asi awa tsoˈ agur ba gbaˈ waa mana. I yik mi, nga wa ati ta nyima anang?When they were unable to repay him, he forgave both of them. Which one, then, will love him more?”

43Saminu adi wu, “I yik mung, awami na tsoˈ agur amwema.” Asi Yesu adi wu, “Wani ti amoˈ ananan.”“I suppose the one who was forgiven more,” Simon replied. “You have judged correctly,” Jesus said.

44Asi awa akam ato uwa ma, tadi Saminu, Wani yik uwa ama? Ngga ni rir kop mi, ba wani nik ngga amashir ni nara adza baˈ, nema awa na nar adza mung ne amayi ma, taya angoˈ ni funfuk ituma.And turning toward the woman, He said to Simon, “Do you see this woman? When I entered your house, you did not give Me water for My feet, but she wet My feet with her tears and wiped them with her hair.

45Ba wa ni mang ngga baˈ mi ngga ni rir, awa ni rir ma bana dung mang adza mung baˈ.You did not greet Me with a kiss, but she has not stopped kissing My feet since I arrived.

46Ba wa ni nuk ngga anyi itu mung baˈ, to awa na nuk ngga anyi nisi shishim adza mung.You did not anoint My head with oil, but she has anointed My feet with perfume.

47Tasi ama ngga ban wa, zup mbombom ma yi mwe na tsoˈ aguru ma, ti na ta nyima amwema. Awami na tsoˈ agur ru ma tsap, awa na tanyima tsap.Therefore I tell you, her many sins have been forgiven, for she has loved much. But he who has been forgiven little loves little.”

48Asi Yesu adi wu, “Na tsoˈ zup mbombom mi agur wama.”Then Jesus said to her, “Your sins are forgiven.”

49Andishir abami ba dibi ri kiri ndo ba vung reng ne kpaman, “Awama asi nga, mi a tsoˈ zup mbombom agura?”But those at the table began to say to themselves, “Who is this who even forgives sins?”

50Asi Yesu adi uwa ma, “Zup didik mmi ni ta wa gyoˈ, wabi ji keke.”And Jesus told the woman, “Your faith has saved you; go in peace.”
