Luke 7 (IDC) · Opened

1IYesu ya kpẹẹ utẹri upii nga kite bajiya ni asa ghila nga Akafarnahum.When Jesus had concluded His discourse in the hearing of the people, He went to Capernaum.

2Ni ace agira agha aghaghẹ aghina akpọ, aghọmani Ate ọna nga ka kọọ ọdọdọma nga naigang, ashi nga akyuọ ba kina asu kpoo ni.There a highly valued servant of a centurion was sick and about to die.

3Aghinakpọ ya kọng ila IYesu ni, aba tuma ace agha akakọng aYahudawa kọ ukushi nga, ka ya shọr nga sa aba lẹni na agira nga.When the centurion heard about Jesus, he sent some Jewish elders to ask Him to come and heal his servant.

4Aya fuma ukushi IYesu ni, ava shọr nga nagigang ava tẹri si, ‘Ushi umani aju nga kindi,They came to Jesus and pleaded with Him earnestly, “This man is worthy to have You grant this,

5ka ayoo Ajiya yi, anga vra ayọ ọkọ takwyuẹ aYahudawa.”for he loves our nation and has built our synagogue.”

6IYesu ba kyaa kini bọ. Aya kya ayayo kọnọ ọna ni, agha aghaghẹ aghina akpọ ba tuma aghikyo nga kukushi nga ka ya tẹri nga si, “Ate ọna, ba ma ẹrẹkwẹ ngọ utina ba. Ita maami ni ingọ ba ọna mi ba.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.

7Uwu sa ni ita nu mi ni ima ni ba ukushi ngọ ba, tọrọ pẹni ka agira mi ki lẹni.That is why I did not consider myself worthy to come to You. But just say the word, and my servant will be healed.

8Ki mẹ mani avọ ace aghọ wọ ni ishi wu, kina aghinakpọ kidẹ ivọ mi, imẹ wang tẹri adi aghọ si, ‘Kikyang’, Asọ kyaa, ace aghọni imẹ tẹri nga si, ‘Ba,’ Asu ba, imẹ tẹri agira mi si, ‘Aju ima,’ Asọ ju.”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.”

9IYesu ya kọng kindi ni, aba wo ica ni nga, aba tee ki tẹri Ajiya mani so yii nga si, “Imẹsọ tẹri nọ si, imẹ sọnọ kọ nu mi uma aipang na ẹrẹkyuọ kindi ko ki Israila ba.”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.”

10Ajiya na atuma bọ ya vuwa bọ aca ni, aya peni ni agira nga tọ akyuọ.And when the messengers returned to the house, they found the servant in good health.

11Aya kpẹẹ ni IYesu ba wor ki kyaa ice Ifọng na aka yọrọ si Anayin, atina nga kina ikir bajiya ba kyaa kini nga.Soon afterward, Jesus went to a town called Nain. His disciples went with Him, accompanied by a large crowd.

12IYesu ya sang fuma anyu uka ughila ifọng ni, aba nu ni a kpaa ọkọng ace anaghẹmẹ na ki kyabọ kọ naa kọ. Anọ ayeng ayiri mani aghẹmẹ nga kọ kpoo. Ikir bajiya ki ifọng kyeng kina inga.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.

13Ate ọna ya nu nga ni, aba kọng ahwoo nga. IYesu tẹri nga si aba ci ba.When the Lord saw her, He had compassion on her and said, “Do not weep.”

14Aba kyaa ki ya piya imumani ago ọkọng kọ. Ajiya na go ọkọng ba titara. IYesu ba ju si, “Anọ, sisang!”Then He went up and touched the coffin, and those carrying it stood still. “Young man,” He said, “I tell you, get up!”

15Aghọkpo va sisang ke cica, Ki tee aghọ upii!. IYesu ba kpẹnẹ nga ka avọ ki ma ayuru nga.And the dead man sat up and began to speak! Then Jesus gave him back to his mother.

16Ẹrẹbata kpẹnẹ bọ kọ nadidu bọ, aba jọọ Ọnọng na tẹri si, “Atina Ọnọng aghaghẹ ba ukushi bayọ.” Aba ju si “Ọnọng ba ukushi bayọ ka ba she Ajiya nga.”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!”

17Upii IYesu ghila nadidu aYahudiya kina ufọng shi ka ayayo bọ.And the news about Jesus spread throughout Judea and all the surrounding region.

18Aghọyii iYahaya ba tẹri nga ọmari nadidu, na ba woo agha pai kidẹ bọ,Then John’s disciples informed him about all these things.

19ki tuma bọ kọ kushi Ate ọna ka ya ghulu nga, “Ingọọ shi aghọmani aki ba, ko ta ayọ sha ace aghọ 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?”

20Aya fuma ukushi iYesu ni, aba ju si, iYahaya aghọ uju iminimini tuma ayọ sa aba ghulu ngọ si, “Ingọọ shi aghọmani aki ba, ko ta ayọ sha ace aghọ 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?’”

21Ka kyua ra ni, iYesu ma ajiya ni asa adumu ọkyuọ, ki ba kiya aghọnọ ushẹẹ uduma ajiya wọ. Ki ba sa afoo na kyoo.At that very hour Jesus healed many people of their diseases, afflictions, and evil spirits, and He gave sight to many who were blind.

22Aba yira aghọmani iYahaya tuma si, “Inu vuwa nọ kọ ya tẹri iYahaya imumani inu kọng ki ba nu. Afoo so kyoo uka, agunu sọ kyeng, aghọnọ ubili ba na pipar, agbatọng hwiri atọng, asang aghọmani a kpuru bọ, asu ma ila ididuma kukushi aghila amir.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.

23Anyu adaduma kukushi aghọmani ata vulu bọ ni umumani isu ju ba.”Blessed is the one who does not fall away on account of Me.”

24Aghọ tuma iYahaya ya sang bọ ni, IYesu ba tẹri bọ upii iYahaya, asi, “Ikẹmbọ ni inu kyaa unu ka ghumu? Inu kyaa ki inu ya nu ọbọng mani uwuu sọ ca?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?

25Iba kindi ba ni, ikẹmbọ ni inu kyaa unu? Ace aghọmani asọmọ uma ọdọdọma? Kayi, aghọ ọsọmọ ugbang ọdọdọma ni, aghọ ci kidẹ ugẹẹ agọm bọ.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.

26Ni, ikẹmbọ ni inu kyaa ukyoo? Atina Ọnọng? Isọ tẹri nọ, acẹri aghọ pii kọ ọtọ Ọnọng nagigang.What then did you go out to see? A prophet? Yes, I tell you, and more than a prophet.

27Anga shi aghọmani awọ pii kaya ẹrẹkwẹ nga si, ‘Imẹ ki tuma atuma mi ka ghila ite ni ngọ, Aghọmani aki kyer utra na sha uba ngọ.’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.’

28Isọ tẹri nọ, ba Ajiya ujee ayiri na aceri IYahaya kini ughọghe. Kindi ni aghọmani ashi naji kọ ọka ẹrẹgọm Ọnọng aceri nga.”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.”

29Ajiya nadidu kina aghọ yira agonu ya kọng kindi ni, aba yira si Ọnọng ni agha aipang nga, IYahaya ba ju bọ iminimini.All the people who heard this, even the tax collectors, acknowledged God’s justice. For they had received the baptism of John.

30Ni AFarisiyawa kina aghọmẹẹ umẹẹ iMusa ba tọrọ bọ imumani Ọnọng wang bọ si aju, ka ata yira bọ ni IYahaya ju bọ iminimini ba.But the Pharisees and experts in the law rejected God’s purpose for themselves, because they had not been baptized by John.

31Ikẹmbọ ni ki mara Ajiya akuakuari wọ? Ashi na nyi?“To what, then, can I compare the men of this generation? What are they like?

32Kini anọ bọ ni aci ka anyu ọkọ la izẹ, asu yọrọ ace bọ, nasu tẹri si, ‘Iyi pẹni igbẹẹ, inu ta ya nọ ba, ayọọ taa atẹ ukpo, inu ta ci nu ba.’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.’

33Uwẹ ni, IYahaya aghọ uju iminimini ba ni, aka ra la ubiredi ba, akarasa amusumu ikọlọ na ashẹ ba, ni inu sẹ tẹri si, ‘Ashi kina ushẹẹ.’For John the Baptist came neither eating bread nor drinking wine, and you say, ‘He has a demon!’

34Anọ Ajiya wẹ naya ba, asu la na sa, inu sọ tẹri si, ‘Aghọ bra ula, aghọ usa ikọlọ na ashi, aghikyo aghọ yira agonu kina aghọ uvulu’.The Son of Man came eating and drinking, and you say, ‘Look at this glutton and drunkard, a friend of tax collectors and sinners!’

35Kindi ni uye ukyuu, yeni si utra Ọnọng na Aipang nga kukushi anọ nga.”But wisdom is vindicated by all her children.”

36Ace aBafarisiye yọrọ nga ula imila. Aba ghila ọna aBafarisiye, ki ya cica kọka imila.Then one of the Pharisees invited Jesus to eat with him, and He entered the Pharisee’s house and reclined at the table.

37Ace ayiri ki ifọng, aghila vulu, a kọng ni iYesu so la imila kọ ọna aBafarisiye ni, ava ba ni ace anibom na anyi uvọng.When a sinful woman from that town learned that Jesus was dining there, she brought an alabaster jar of perfume.

38Aba titara kọ tumu kọ ọka ifra nga, nasu ci. Ayiri nga ba ghẹli nga ifra kọ. Aba cra nga kọ ni ufilikwẹ nga, ki kẹni nga, ni asa ba shii anyi uvọng nga ki coo nga ki ifra.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.

39aBafarisiye na ayọrọ ula imila ya nu kindọ ni, aba kpaa kidẹ ikwyi nga si, Ata wasi Ajiya ri ni aghọ pii kọ ọtọ Ọnọng nga ni, ata kọ ye aghọmani asu cira nga, kina ighọ ayiri. Si asa aghila avulu.”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!”

40IYesu ba yira si, “ISaminu, iwang yeni ngọ upii.” Aghọmẹẹ, imẹ so hwiri ngọ.”But Jesus answered him, “Simon, I have something to tell you.” “Tell me, Teacher,” he said.

41IYesu ju si, “Ace Ajiya apai na ayii bọ uta nọ ufẹ. Agha aye ni, ayii nga adinari araji atọ, ada aghọni ishitọ.“Two men were debtors to a certain moneylender. One owed him five hundred denarii, and the other fifty.

42Aya bira bọ ọbiya ba ni, aba shee bọ ya ka apai bọ. Kidẹ bọ ka apai bọ ni, inga ki cẹẹ nọ uyoo nga?”When they were unable to repay him, he forgave both of them. Which one, then, will love him more?”

43ISaminu ba yira nga si, “Ku nu mi ni, aghọmani aya nga ughẹ.” Aba ju si, “Ingọ tẹri na bibọrọ.”“I suppose the one who was forgiven more,” Simon replied. “You have judged correctly,” Jesus said.

44Aya tee kukushi ayiri ni, aba ghulu iSaminu si, “Unu ayiri ri? Ighila ọna ngọ, ingọ taa ma mi nga amusumu uhwuru ifra ba, inga shiri mi na ayiri nga ki ifra ki cira mi na ufilikwẹ nga.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.

45Ingọ ta kẹni mi nga ba, anga ni, kọ ghila mi ni ata ya nga kẹni mi ifra ba.You did not greet Me with a kiss, but she has not stopped kissing My feet since I arrived.

46Ingọ ta coo mi nga anyi ka ẹrẹkwẹ ba, inga coo mi anyi uvọng ki ifra.You did not anoint My head with oil, but she has anointed My feet with perfume.

47Kindi ni, imẹ sọ tẹri ngọ, avulu nga nagigang ra ni a kpaa nga kọ, ka ayeni uyoo nagigang. Aghọmani a kpaa nga kọ nazii ni, uyoo naziwu ni ayeni.”Therefore I tell you, her many sins have been forgiven, for she has loved much. But he who has been forgiven little loves little.”

48Aba tẹri nga si, “a kpaa ngọ avulu ngọ wu.”Then Jesus said to her, “Your sins are forgiven.”

49Aghọ la kini nga ba tẹri ace bọ, “Inga shi nga na asọ kpaa avulu?”But those at the table began to say to themselves, “Who is this who even forgives sins?”

50IYesu ba tẹri ayiri si, “Uma aipang ngọ foo ngọ. Kyaikyang ni ikwyifu.”And Jesus told the woman, “Your faith has saved you; go in peace.”
