7. 7IKZNecho naarɨ niriirora nɨtakwenderwa kuuza kwa naawɨ. Nawe, gamba ingʼana rɨmwɨbhu, omohocha waanɨ arahora.BSBBSB: That is why I did not consider myself worthy to come to You. But just say the word, and my servant will be healed.

Akiichʉrɨra riribhita rya abhaatʉ, bhanʉ bhaarɨ bharamutuna, akabhuga, “Nɨrabhabhʉʉrɨra, nʉʉrʉ gatɨ wa Abhiiziraɨri bhʉʉsi, nɨkɨɨrɨ korora ʉmʉʉtʉ wʉwʉʉsi wu ubhwisirirya ʉbhʉkʉrʉ ncha bhʉnʉ!”BSBBSB: When Jesus heard this, He marveled at the centurion.

12. 12IKZNa hanʉ iisɨmɨɨrɨ ikishoko chʉ ʉrʉbhɨri, akarumana na abhaatʉ, bhanʉ bhaarɨ bhagɨgirɨ ɨkɨtʉndʉ chu umumura, bharahʉrʉka igʉtʉ wʉ ʉrʉbhɨri. Umumura wuyo, aarɨ umwana umumwɨmwɨ, na unina aarɨ umukwirwa. Unina wuyo, akahirana na abhaatʉ bhaaru bhʉ ʉrʉbhɨri ruyo.BSBBSB: 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.

17. 17IKZAmangʼana gayo, gakanyaragana bhʉkʉngʼu Yudeya yʉʉsi, na mucharʉ ɨkɨndɨ cha mʉrʉbhɨri.BSBBSB: And the news about Jesus spread throughout Judea and all the surrounding region.
18. 18IKZHanʉ Yɨɨsu aarɨ arakora gʉʉsi gayo, Yoohana akareeterwa ɨngʼana ya Yɨɨsu na abhɨɨga bhaazɨ.BSBBSB: Then John’s disciples informed him about all these things.
19. 19IKZYoohana akabhabhɨrɨkɨra abhɨɨga bhabhɨrɨ, akabhatʉma bhajɨ kubhuurya Ʉmʉkʉrʉ, “Awɨ naawɨ Kiriisitʉ wʉnʉ akuuza, kisha tʉrɨndɨ ʉwʉndɨ?”BSBBSB: 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?”
20. 20IKZBhaaza kuhika bhakamʉbhʉʉrɨra, “Yoohana Ʉmʉbhatiizi atutumirɨ kwa nawe, tukubhuuryɨ, ‘Awɨ naawɨ Kiriisitʉ wʉnʉ akuuza, kisha tʉrɨndɨ ʉwʉndɨ?’ ”BSBBSB: 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?’”
21. 21IKZKwibhaga riyoriyo, Yɨɨsu aarɨ arahorya abhaatʉ bhaaru amarwɨrɨ gaabhʉ. Aarɨ arasakirya bhanʉ bhakʉnyaakibhwa na amasambwa na abhahʉku bhaaru bhatʉrɨ korora.BSBBSB: At that very hour Jesus healed many people of their diseases, afflictions, and evil spirits, and He gave sight to many who were blind.
22. 22IKZNeho Yɨɨsu akabhagarukirya, “Mujɨ mʉbhʉʉrɨrɨ Yoohana gʉʉsi ganʉ mʉrʉʉzɨ, na gʉʉsi ganʉ mwigwirɨ. Abhahʉku bhararora, abharema bharagenda, abhagenge bharahora, abharibhi bha amatwɨ bhariigwa, abhaku bhararyʉka, na abhahabhɨ bhararwazirwa Ɨngʼana Ɨnzʉmu.BSBBSB: 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.
23. 23IKZHakɨrɨku ʉmʉʉtʉ wʉnʉ ataana makɨbhwɨ igʉrʉ waanɨ.”BSBBSB: Blessed is the one who does not fall away on account of Me.”
24. 24IKZHanʉ bhabhɨrɨ bhayo bhaagiirɨ, Yɨɨsu akatanga kʉgamba na riribhita rya abhaatʉ igʉrʉ wa Yoohana, “Mʉkaja mwitɨrɨgʉ kororakɨ? Korora ʉmʉʉtʉ wʉnʉ akwisirirya amangʼana gʉʉsi ncha rikʉrɨ rɨnʉ rɨhaasingishwa nʉ ʉmʉkama?BSBBSB: 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?
25. 25IKZMʉkaja kororakɨ? Mʉkaja korora ʉmʉʉtʉ wʉnʉ iibhʉhirɨ zengebho zɨnzʉmu za riguri? Zɨyi!

A man dressed in fine clothes? Look, those who wear elegant clothing and live in luxury are found in palaces.
26. 26IKZNawe mʉkaja kororakɨ? Ʉmʉrʉʉtɨrɨri? Hee, nɨrabhabhʉʉrɨra, Yoohana nɨ‑mʉkʉrʉ kʉkɨra ʉmʉrʉʉtɨrɨri.BSBBSB: What then did you go out to see? A prophet? Yes, I tell you, and more than a prophet.
27. 27IKZWuyo newe wʉnʉ Amaandɨkʉ Amarɨndu gaagambirɨ igʉrʉ waazɨ, ‘Rora, nɨratʉma umutumwa waanɨ mʉbhʉtangɨ bhwazʉ, wʉnʉ araakokonzere ɨnzɨra.’ ”BSBBSB: 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.’
28. 28IKZYɨɨsu akabhuga naatu, “Nɨrabhabhʉʉrɨra, mʉbhaatʉ bhʉʉsi bhanʉ bhiibhwirɨ kʉʉsɨ, atareeho ʉmʉkʉrʉ kʉkɨra Yoohana. Nawe, ʉmʉʉtʉ umusuuhu kʉkɨra bhʉʉsi mʉbhʉtɨmi bhwa Mungu, newe ʉmʉkʉrʉ kʉkɨra Yoohana.”BSBBSB: 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.”
29. 29IKZAbhaatʉ bhʉʉsi, hamwɨmwɨ na abharihya bha rigʉʉti, hanʉ bhiigwirɨ amangʼana ga Yɨɨsu gayo, bhakiisirirya kʉbha ɨsɨɨmi ya Mungu yaarɨ nzʉmu, kʉ kʉbha abhaatʉ bhayo nebho bharya Yoohana amarirɨ kʉbhatiiza.BSBBSB: All the people who heard this, even the tax collectors, acknowledged God’s justice. For they had received the baptism of John.
30. 30IKZNawe, Abhafarisaayo na abhiija bhi imigirʉ bhataabhatiizirwɨ na Yoohana, kʉ kʉbha bhakaanga amiisɨɨgi ga Mungu.BSBBSB: But the Pharisees and experts in the law rejected God’s purpose for themselves, because they had not been baptized by John.
31. 31IKZYɨɨsu akabhuga naatu, “Abhaatʉ bhu urwibhʉrʉ rʉnʉ, nɨbhatuubhanʼyɨ nakɨ? Nɨ‑bha teemwakɨ?BSBBSB: “To what, then, can I compare the men of this generation? What are they like?
32. 32IKZBhatuubhɨɨnɨ na abhaana bhanʉ bhiikɨɨrɨ momoteera, bhakwibhɨrɨkɨra abheene kobheene bharabhuga, ‘Tʉkabhatemera ekereere, nawe mʉtaabhinirɨ! Tʉkɨɨmba amɨɨmbʉ gu ukwarama, nawe mʉtaaririrɨ!’BSBBSB: 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.’
33. 33IKZ“Nɨmbu na niimwɨ mʉrɨ, kʉ kʉbha hanʉ Yoohana Ʉmʉbhatiizi iizirɨ, ataarɨ ararya mɨkaatɨ na kunywa idivaayi, na niimwɨ mʉkabhuga ‘Wʉnʉ ana amasambwa!’BSBBSB: For John the Baptist came neither eating bread nor drinking wine, and you say, ‘He has a demon!’
34. 34IKZUmwana wʉ Ʉmʉʉtʉ akaaza, ararya ibhyakurya bhya amanarʉ na kunywa idivaayi, bhakabhuga, ‘Rora! Nɨ‑mʉsʉʉhʉ munywi, mʉsaani wa abharihya bha rigʉʉti, na bhʉ ʉbhʉbhɨ!’BSBBSB: The Son of Man came eating and drinking, and you say, ‘Look at this glutton and drunkard, a friend of tax collectors and sinners!’
35. 35IKZNawe nʉʉrʉbhu ubhwʉbhʉʉri bhwa Mungu bhʉhaamenyeekererya kʉbha nɨ‑maheene kʉbhaatʉ bhaazɨ.”BSBBSB: But wisdom is vindicated by all her children.”

37. 37IKZNa mʉrʉbhɨri ruyo, kwarɨ nʉ ʉmʉkari wʉmwɨ, wʉnʉ aamɨnyɨkɨɨnɨ wʉ ʉbhʉbhɨ. Hanʉ ʉmʉkari wuyo, iigwirɨ kʉbha Yɨɨsu ararya wʉ Ʉmʉfarisaayo, akasikɨra muyo ani ichupa ɨnzʉmu ya amaguta ganʉ gakoreetya bhwaheene.BSBBSB: When a sinful woman from that town learned that Jesus was dining there, she brought an alabaster jar of perfume.
38. 38IKZAkahigama haguhɨ na amagʉrʉ ga Yɨɨsu, akatanga kʉrɨra. Zingusuri zaazɨ zɨragerera kʉmagʉrʉ ga Yɨɨsu, aarɨ arazihuta na zinzwɨrɨ zaazɨ, akahumbata amagʉrʉ ga Yɨɨsu, na kʉgahaka amaguta gayo.BSBBSB: 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.
39. 39IKZHanʉ Ʉmʉfarisaayo aarʉʉzɨ gayo, akiiseega mumwʉyʉ gwazɨ, “Ʉmʉʉtʉ wʉnʉ, angabhɨɨrɨ ʉmʉrʉʉtɨrɨri, aarɨ aramenya, ʉmʉkari wʉnʉ akumukunʼyaku, nɨ‑mʉʉtʉ wa teemwakɨ. Aarɨ aramenya, ewe ariikara ubhwikari bhʉ ʉbhʉbhɨ!”BSBBSB: 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!”
40. 40IKZYɨɨsu akamʉbhʉʉrɨra, “Simʉʉni, nɨnɨ ɨngʼana yʉ ʉkʉkʉbhʉʉrɨra.” Newe akamʉgarukirya, “Umwija, mbʉʉrɨra.” Neho Yɨɨsu akabhuga,BSBBSB: But Jesus answered him, “Simon, I have something to tell you.” “Tell me, Teacher,” he said.
41. 41IKZ“Haareho na abhaatʉ bhabhɨrɨ, bhani isiirɨ yʉ ʉmʉʉtʉ wʉmwɨ. Ʉwʉmwɨ, aarɨ ani isiirɨ ya zidinaari magana ataanʉ. Ʉmʉkɨndichazɨ, aarɨ ani isiirɨ ya zidinaari merongo ɨtaanʉ.BSBBSB: “Two men were debtors to a certain moneylender. One owed him five hundred denarii, and the other fifty.

43. 43IKZSimʉʉni akamʉgarukirya, “Nɨrakina nɨ‑wʉnʉ aabhɨɨrɨɨrwɨ isiirɨ ɨkʉrʉ.” Yɨɨsu akamʉbhʉʉrɨra, “Ʉgarukiiryɨ bhwaheene.”BSBBSB: “I suppose the one who was forgiven more,” Simon replied. “You have judged correctly,” Jesus said.
44. 44IKZHayo, Yɨɨsu akiichʉrɨra ʉmʉkari wuyo, akabhʉʉrɨra Simʉʉni, “Ʉrarora ʉmʉkari wʉnʉ? Nisikiirɨ munyumba yaazʉ, nawe ʉtansʉngʼaanirɨ kwa kongʼa amanzi gu ukwoja amagʉrʉ gaanɨ. Nawe ewe, azaziryɨ amagʉrʉ gaanɨ na zingusuri zaazɨ, na kʉgataricha na zinzwɨrɨ zaazɨ.BSBBSB: 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.
45. 45IKZAwɨ ʉtankɨɨriryɨ kwa kunhumbata, nawe, kwɨma ribhaga nasikiirɨ mʉnʉ, akɨɨrɨ kuniha kunhumbata amagʉrʉ gaanɨ.BSBBSB: You did not greet Me with a kiss, but she has not stopped kissing My feet since I arrived.

But he who has been forgiven little loves little.”
48. 48IKZYɨɨsu akabhʉʉrɨra ʉmʉkari wuyo, “Ʉbhʉbhɨ bhwazʉ, bhʉbhɨɨrɨɨrwɨ.”BSBBSB: Then Jesus said to her, “Your sins are forgiven.”
