Luke 6 (IGB) · Opened

1Nʼotu ụbọchị izuike, mgbe Jisọs na-agafe nʼubi a kụrụ ọka. Ndị na-eso ụzọ ya malitere ịghọrọ ụfọdụ nʼime ogbe ọka ndị ahụ, na-amazu ha nʼaka, ma na-ata ha.One Sabbath Jesus was passing through the grainfields, and His disciples began to pick the heads of grain, rub them in their hands, and eat them.

2Ụfọdụ ndị Farisii sịrị, “Gịnị mere unu ji na-eme ihe megidere iwu nʼụbọchị izuike?”But some of the Pharisees asked, “Why are you doing what is unlawful on the Sabbath?”

3Jisọs zara ha sị, “Ọ bụ na unu agụtaghị ihe Devid mere mgbe agụụ gụrụ ya na ndị so ya?Jesus replied, “Have you not read what David did when he and his companions were hungry?

4Otu o si banye nʼụlọ Chineke, were achịcha a na-eche nʼihu ya, nyetụkwa ndị ya na ha so, achịcha nke onye ọbụla na-ekwesighị ịta ma ọ bụghị naanị ndị nchụaja.”He entered the house of God, took the consecrated bread and gave it to his companions, and ate what is lawful only for the priests to eat.”

5Mgbe ahụ ọ gwara ha sị, “Nwa nke Mmadụ bụ Onyenwe Ụbọchị Izuike.”Then Jesus declared, “The Son of Man is Lord of the Sabbath.”

6Nʼụbọchị izuike ọzọ, ọ banyere nʼụlọ ekpere na-ezi ihe. Otu nwoke nọkwa nʼebe ahụ onye aka nri ya kpọnwụrụ akpọnwụ.On another Sabbath Jesus entered the synagogue and was teaching, and a man was there whose right hand was withered.

7Ndị Farisii na ndị ode akwụkwọ na-achọ ụzọ ha ga-esi boo ya ebubo, ya mere ha lekwasịrị ya anya ịhụ ma ọ ga-agwọ ọrịa nʼụbọchị izuike.Looking for a reason to accuse Jesus, the scribes and Pharisees were watching Him closely to see if He would heal on the Sabbath.

8Ma ebe ọ maara ihe ha na-ezube nʼobi ha, ọ kpọrọ nwoke ahụ nke aka ya kpọnwụrụ akpọnwụ sị ya, “Bilie bịa guzoro nʼetiti ebe a.” Nwoke ahụ pụtara bịa guzoro ebe ahụ.But Jesus knew their thoughts and said to the man with the withered hand, “Get up and stand among us.” So he got up and stood there.

9Mgbe ahụ Jisọs sịrị ha, “Ka m jụọ unu, gịnị ziri ezi nʼiwu ime nʼụbọchị izuike; ọ bụ ime ihe ọma ka ọ bụ ime ihe ọjọọ; ịzọpụta ndụ ka ọ bụ ịla ndụ nʼiyi?”Then Jesus said to them, “I ask you, which is lawful on the Sabbath: to do good or to do evil, to save life or to destroy it?”

10Mgbe o lesiri ha niile anya gburugburu, ọ sịrị ya, “Setịpụ aka gị.” O mere nke a, aka ya dịkwara mma ọzọ.And after looking around at all of them, He said to the man, “Stretch out your hand.” He did so, and it was restored.

11Ha were iwe nke ukwuu ma malite na-ekwurịtara nʼetiti onwe ha ihe ha nwere ike ime Jisọs.But the scribes and Pharisees were filled with rage and began to discuss with one another what they might do to Jesus.

12Nʼụbọchị ndị ahụ, ọ gara rigoro nʼelu ugwu ikpe ekpere. Ọ nọrọ abalị ahụ niile na-ekpe ekpere nye Chineke.In those days Jesus went out to the mountain to pray, and He spent the night in prayer to God.

13Mgbe chi bọrọ, ọ kpọrọ ndị niile na-eso ụzọ ya, site nʼime ha họrọ mmadụ iri na abụọ ndị ọ kpọrọ ndị ozi ya.When daylight came, He called His disciples to Him and chose twelve of them, whom He also designated as apostles:

14Saimọn (onye ọ kpọrọ Pita) na Andru nwanne ya, Jemis Jọn, Filip Batalomi.Simon, whom He named Peter, and his brother Andrew; James and John; Philip and Bartholomew;

15Matiu Tọmọs, Jemis nwa Alfiọs, Saimọn onye a na-akpọ Zilọt.Matthew and Thomas; James son of Alphaeus and Simon called the Zealot;

16Judas nwa Jemis na Judas Iskarịọt onye raara ya nye.Judas son of James, and Judas Iscariot, who became a traitor.

17Ya na ha rịdatara ga nʼebe ala dị larịị. Igwe ndị na-eso ụzọ ya na oke igwe mmadụ sitere na Judịa, na Jerusalem nakwa obodo dị na nsọtụ mmiri nke Taịa na Saịdọn.Then Jesus came down with them and stood on a level place. A large crowd of His disciples was there, along with a great number of people from all over Judea, Jerusalem, and the seacoast of Tyre and Sidon.

18Ndị bịara ịnụrụ okwu ya na ka a gwọọ ha ọrịa ha. A gwọkwara ọtụtụ ndị mmụọ na-adịghị ọcha na-esogbu.They had come to hear Him and to be healed of their diseases, and those troubled by unclean spirits were healed.

19Igwe mmadụ ahụ gbalịrị ịmetụ ya aka, nʼihi na ike dị ukwuu si ya nʼahụ na-apụ na-agwọ ha niile.The entire crowd was trying to touch Him, because power was coming from Him and healing them all.

20O weliri anya lee ndị na-eso ụzọ ya, sị ha, “Ngọzị na-adịrị unu bụ ndị ogbenye, nʼihi na alaeze Chineke bụ nke unu.Looking up at His disciples, Jesus said: “Blessed are you who are poor, for yours is the kingdom of God.

21Ngọzị na-adịrị unu ndị agụụ na-agụ ugbu a, nʼihi na afọ ga-eju unu. Ngọzị na-adịrị unu ndị na-ebe akwa ugbu a, nʼihi na unu ga-achị ọchị.Blessed are you who hunger now, for you will be filled. Blessed are you who weep now, for you will laugh.

22Ngọzị na-adịrị unu mgbe ndị mmadụ na-akpọ unu asị, mgbe ha na-achụpụ unu, na-akparị unu, na-ajụ aha unu, nʼihi Nwa nke Mmadụ.Blessed are you when people hate you, and when they exclude you and insult you and reject your name as evil because of the Son of Man.

23“Ṅụrịanụ ọṅụ ma wuliekwanụ elu nʼihi ọṅụ nʼụbọchị ahụ, nʼihi na ụgwọ ọrụ unu dị ukwuu nʼeluigwe. Nʼihi na otu a ka ndị nna nna ha mesoro ndị amụma.Rejoice in that day and leap for joy, because great is your reward in heaven. For their fathers treated the prophets in the same way.

24“Ma ahụhụ na-adịrị unu ndị ọgaranya, nʼihi na unu eketala nkasiobi unu.But woe to you who are rich, for you have already received your comfort.

25Ahụhụ na-adịrị ndị afọ juru ugbu a, nʼihi na agụ ga-agụkwa unu. Ahụhụ na-adịrị ndị na-achị ọchị ugbu a, nʼihi na unu ga-eru ụjụ, bee akwa.Woe to you who are well fed now, for you will hunger. Woe to you who laugh now, for you will mourn and weep.

26Ahụhụ na-adịrị unu mgbe ndị mmadụ niile na-ekwu okwu ọma gbasara unu, nʼihi na otu a ka ndị bụ nna ha mesoro ndị amụma ụgha.”Woe to you when all men speak well of you, for their fathers treated the false prophets in the same way.

27“Ma a na m agwa unu ndị na-ege m ntị: hụnụ ndị iro unu nʼanya, mekwaaranụ ndị kpọrọ unu asị ihe ọma.But to those of you who will listen, I say: Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you,

28Gọzienụ ndị na-abụ unu ọnụ, ma kpekwaaranụ ndị na-akparị unu ekpere.bless those who curse you, pray for those who mistreat you.

29Ọ bụrụ na onye ọbụla a maa gị ụra nʼotu ntị, tụgharịara ya ntị gị nke ọzọ. Ọ bụrụkwa na onye ọbụla anara gị uwe ahụ gị, nyekwa ya uwe ime ahụ gị.If someone strikes you on one cheek, turn to him the other also. And if someone takes your cloak, do not withhold your tunic as well.

30Nye onye ọbụla rịọrọ gị ihe. Ọ bụrụkwa na mmadụ ewere ihe bụ nke gị, agala ịnapụta ya.Give to everyone who asks you, and if anyone takes what is yours, do not demand it back.

31Dịka unu si chọọ ka ndị mmadụ mesoo unu, sitekwanụ otu a na-emeso ha.Do to others as you would have them do to you.

32“Ọ bụrụ naanị ndị hụrụ unu nʼanya ka unu na-ahụ nʼanya, gịnị ga-abụ uru unu? Nʼihi na ọbụladị ndị mmehie, ọ bụ ndị hụrụ ha nʼanya ka ha na-ahụkwa nʼanya.If you love those who love you, what credit is that to you? Even sinners love those who love them.

33Ọ bụrụkwa naanị ndị na-emere unu ihe ọma ka unu na-emere ihe ọma, gịnị ga-abụ uru unu? Nʼihi na ndị mmehie na-enyekwara ndị na-enyere ha aka aka.If you do good to those who do good to you, what credit is that to you? Even sinners do the same.

34Ọ bụrụkwa na unu agbazinye naanị ndị nwere ike ịkwụghachi unu ihe, gịnị ga-abụ uru unu? Nʼihi na ndị mmehie na-agbazinyekwa ndị mmehie ibe ha na-atụ anya ka a kwụghachikwa ha nʼozuzu oke.And if you lend to those from whom you expect repayment, what credit is that to you? Even sinners lend to sinners, expecting to be repaid in full.

35Hụnụ ndị iro unu nʼanya, na-emekwa ezi ihe nye ha, gbazinyenụ ndị nọ na mkpa ihe ha chọrọ, na-eleghị anya na ha ga-akwụghachi unu. Mgbe ahụ, ụgwọ ọrụ unu ga-adị ukwuu, unu ga-egosikwa na unu bụ ụmụ nke Onye kachasị ihe niile elu, nʼihi na ebere ya na-adịrị ndị ajọ omume na ndị na-enweghị mmụọ ekele nʼime ha.But love your enemies, do good to them, and lend to them, expecting nothing in return. Then your reward will be great, and you will be sons of the Most High; for He is kind to the ungrateful and wicked.

36Nweenu obi ebere dị ka Nna unu si nwee obi ebere.Be merciful, just as your Father is merciful.

37“Unu ekpela ndị ọzọ ikpe, ka a ghara ikpekwa unu ikpe. Unu amala ndị ọzọ ikpe ka a ghara ịma unu ikpe. Gbagharanụ ndị ọzọ, a ga-agbagharakwa unu.Do not judge, and you will not be judged. Do not condemn, and you will not be condemned. Forgive, and you will be forgiven.

38Nyenụ, nʼihi na a ga-enyekwa unu. Onyinye unu ga-anata ga-abụ nke juru eju, nke a bịadara nke ọma, yọkọtakwa ayọkọta nke na-ejubiga oke ka a ga-adọkwasị gị nʼahụ; nʼihi na ọ bụ ihe i na-eji atụ ihe ka a ga-eji tụọrọ gị.”Give, and it will be given to you. A good measure, pressed down, shaken together, and running over will be poured into your lap. For with the measure you use, it will be measured back to you.”

39Ọ tụkwaara ha ilu a, “Onye ìsì ọ pụrụ idu onye ìsì ibe ya? Ha abụọ ọ gaghị adaba nʼime olulu?Jesus also told them a parable: “Can a blind man lead a blind man? Will they not both fall into a pit?

40Onye na-eso ụzọ onye ozizi anaghị akarị onye nkuzi ya, kama mgbe ọ mụtasịrị ọ ga-amata ihe dị ka onye nkuzi ya.A disciple is not above his teacher, but everyone who is fully trained will be like his teacher.

41“Gịnị mere i ji elee ntakịrị ahịhịa dị nwanna gị nʼanya, ma ị dịghị ahụta obodobo osisi dị gị onwe gị nʼanya?Why do you look at the speck in your brother’s eye but fail to notice the beam in your own eye?

42Ị ga-esi aṅaa sị nwanna gị, ‘Nwanna a, ka m wepụ gị ntakịrị ahịhịa dị gị nʼanya,’ mgbe gị onwe gị na-ahụghị obodobo osisi dị gị nʼanya? Gị onye ihu abụọ, buru ụzọ wepụ obodobo osisi dị gị nʼanya ka i nwee ike ịhụzi ụzọ nke ọma wepụ ntakịrị ahịhịa dị nwanna gị nʼanya.How can you say, ‘Brother, let me take the speck out of your eye,’ while you yourself fail to see the beam in your own eye? You hypocrite! First take the beam out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother’s eye.

43“Ezi osisi adịghị amị mkpụrụ ọjọọ. Ọ dịkwaghị osisi ọjọọ na-amị mkpụrụ ọma.No good tree bears bad fruit, nor does a bad tree bear good fruit.

44Ọ bụ mkpụrụ osisi mịrị ka e ji ama ụdị osisi ọ bụ. Ndị mmadụ adịghị aghọta fiig site nʼosisi ogwu, otu a kwa o nweghị onye na-aghọta mkpụrụ grepu nʼobi ogwu.For each tree is known by its own fruit. Indeed, figs are not gathered from thornbushes, nor grapes from brambles.

45Ezi mmadụ na-esite nʼakụ ọma juru ya obi na-arụpụta ezi ọrụ, otu a kwa, ajọ mmadụ na-esite nʼobi ọjọọ ya na-arụpụta ajọ ọrụ. Nʼihi na ihe ọbụla dị mmadụ nʼobi bụ ihe na-apụta nʼọnụ ya.The good man brings good things out of the good treasure of his heart, and the evil man brings evil things out of the evil treasure of his heart. For out of the overflow of the heart the mouth speaks.

46“Gịnị mere unu ji na-akpọ m, ‘Onyenwe anyị, Onyenwe anyị,’ ma unu adịghị eme ihe m kwuru?Why do you call Me ‘Lord, Lord,’ but do not do what I say?

47Achọrọ m igosi unu ihe onye ọbụla na-abịakwute m nke na-anụ okwu m, ma na-ejikwa ihe ọ na-anụ akpọrọ ihe, yiri.I will show you what he is like who comes to Me and hears My words and acts on them:

48Onye ahụ yiri nwoke wuru ụlọ, onye gwumiri ala, doo ntọala ụlọ ahụ nʼelu oke nkume. Mgbe idee mmiri bịara were ike ya tie nʼụlọ ahụ, o nweghị ike ime ka ọ maa jijiji nʼihi na e wusiri ya ike.He is like a man building a house, who dug down deep and laid his foundation on the rock. When the flood came, the torrent crashed against that house but could not shake it, because it was well built.

49Ma onye ahụ nụrụ okwu m, nke na-ejighị ihe ọ nụrụ mee ihe, dị ka nwoke wukwasịrị ụlọ ya nʼelu ala, nke na-enweghị ntọala ọbụla. Mgbe idee mmiri bịara were ike ya tie nʼụlọ ahụ, ụlọ ahụ dara daruo ala, ọdịda ya dị ukwuu.”But the one who hears My words and does not act on them is like a man who built his house on ground without a foundation. The torrent crashed against that house, and immediately it fell—and great was its destruction!”
