1Igiel bho̠ A̠zizo̠s na̠ agba ma̠ eb̠la̠ i̠di̠ar i̠nye̠n a̠nigha̠ ma̠ a̠nwunom bho̠ amado̠n bho̠, sa̠ i̠na a̠d̠igh d̠a̠ e̠ma Akapanu̠m.When Jesus had concluded His discourse in the hearing of the people, He went to Capernaum.

2D̠a̠ obhel obha̠, odi we̠mu̠ o̠lo̠gh e̠gham A̠rom, a̠nwuna̠ ma̠ ogoni ola̠ i̠na a̠bhin atu̠o̠m abar ibom. Ogoni bho̠ na̠ anwe̠r na̠ a̠tua̠n omugh.There a highly valued servant of a centurion was sick and about to die.

3Igiel bho̠ o̠ni̠ we̠mu̠ o̠lo̠gh e̠gham bho̠ amu̠gho̠n a̠gboloma̠ ma̠ A̠zizo̠s bho̠, sa̠ i̠na a̠ruom ikei a̠nwunom A̠zu bho̠ ma̠ o̠gi̠ ka̠ o̠te̠i̠ A̠zizo̠s opuru agu̠o̠ ola̠ i̠na ta̠ a̠ru ra̠ a̠koko ma̠ ogoni d̠o̠yo̠.When the centurion heard about Jesus, he sent some Jewish elders to ask Him to come and heal his servant.

4Igiel bho̠ awa na̠ e̠gi̠ ka̠ i̠te̠i̠ A̠zizo̠s bho̠, sa̠ awa i̠le̠gh i̠na ma̠ o̠kparakpar agu̠o̠, i̠gba inigha̠ i̠na ma̠a̠: “O̠ni̠ onon akpe̠ ma̠ o̠te̠i̠ o̠lo̠gh agu̠o̠ d̠oyom.They came to Jesus and pleaded with Him earnestly, “This man is worthy to have You grant this,

5Ezin bho̠, i̠na a̠tula̠n ebhugh d̠i̠yar, sa̠ a̠lo ma̠ otu u̠gala d̠i̠yar.”for he loves our nation and has built our synagogue.”

6Sa̠ A̠zizo̠s a̠d̠igh na̠ awa agi̠.

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.

7Odi abar eka̠, ami̠ na̠ aru̠ru̠an ma̠ ami̠ ilei d̠o̠ ma̠ oru ra̠ o̠bi̠ghan oyom nyen. Ya̠a̠, fughe ka̠ ma̠ abar a̠gboloma̠, sa̠ ogoni d̠ami̠ ta̠ a̠d̠um.That is why I did not consider myself worthy to come to You. But just say the word, and my servant will be healed.

8Ami̠ eka̠, o̠ni̠ ola̠ od̠i d̠a̠ a̠dila̠de a̠limon, sa̠ ami̠ inwuna̠ ma̠ a̠limon igboloma̠ ma̠ o̠lo̠gh e̠gham wa̠ od̠i d̠a̠ ekpukpu d̠ami̠ bho̠.

Ka̠ ami̠ iruom ogoni d̠ami̠ ma̠a̠, ‘Gire ma̠ abar onon,’ sa̠ i̠na ta̠ a̠gir.”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.”

9Obhel bho̠ A̠zizo̠s amu̠gho̠n i̠nye̠n bho̠, sa̠ a̠d̠igh i̠na ma̠ ilologia̠n, sa̠ a̠tiba̠ra̠ adama ma̠ o̠lo̠gh a̠nwunom ya̠ na̠ e̠tu̠o̠no̠m i̠na bho̠ sa̠ a̠fugh ma̠a̠, “Ami̠ na̠ agba na̠ a̠nigha̠ inyin ma̠a̠, d̠a̠ ebhugh Izre̠l eka̠, ami̠ ta̠ o̠bi̠gh d̠o̠ ma̠ ologi ima̠ra̠ ola̠ abu̠gh o̠ko̠no̠n.”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.”

10Sa̠ a̠nwunom ya̠ uruom a̠duom bho̠ imula̠ ka̠ i̠te̠i̠ d̠a̠ otu, sa̠ awa i̠bi̠gh ma̠ ogoni bho̠ na̠ a̠d̠um.And when the messengers returned to the house, they found the servant in good health.

12Agu̠o̠ i̠na na̠ a̠tua̠n o̠nu̠ ogigo e̠ma bho̠, bha̠ a̠nwunom na̠ erol egua̠de na̠ emite d̠a̠ ogigo bho̠. O̠ni̠ wa̠ a̠mugh bho̠ ogini olobhiri o̠nyi̠ ta̠ odi ekpukele ani̠. Sa̠ obom o̠lo̠gh a̠nwunom d̠a̠ e̠ma bho̠ i̠ro̠ ma̠ i̠se̠ na̠ ekpon ani̠ bho̠.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.

13Igiel bho̠ Wa̠nwuna̠ bho̠ abi̠gh ani̠ bho̠, sa̠ igbirigbir ani̠ bho̠ id̠ighi i̠na. Sa̠ a̠fugh a̠nigha̠ ani̠ bho̠ ma̠a̠, “Ko oleghe mu.”When the Lord saw her, He had compassion on her and said, “Do not weep.”

Sa̠ i̠na a̠fugh ma̠a̠, “O̠nyi̠ bho̠, ami̠ na̠ a̠fugh na̠ a̠nigha̠ ma̠ anwa, b̠etina̠!”Then He went up and touched the coffin, and those carrying it stood still. “Young man,” He said, “I tell you, get up!”

15Sa̠ o̠ni̠ wa̠ a̠mugh bho̠ asu̠ma aro̠ ma̠ a̠dila̠de, sa̠ ake̠ ma̠ ofugh a̠fugh, sa̠ A̠zizo̠s a̠b̠eton i̠na a̠nigha̠ ma̠ onweni d̠o̠yo̠.And the dead man sat up and began to speak! Then Jesus gave him back to his mother.

16Sa̠ a̠d̠igh awa ma̠ ilologia̠n, sa̠ awa itutumeni ma̠ A̠zib̠a̠ ifugh ma̠a̠, “Obom owil na̠ a̠mite d̠a̠ esa̠d̠io d̠i̠yar. A̠zib̠a̠ na̠ a̠ru ra̠ alo̠gh agu̠o̠ a̠nigha̠ ma̠ a̠nwunom d̠o̠yo̠.”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!”

17Sa̠ o̠du̠ ogir ilologia̠n ta̠ A̠zizo̠s onon asi̠saragi̠an d̠a̠ eb̠la̠ A̠zudia̠ sekina̠ d̠a̠ eghighira̠ ebhugh bho̠.And the news about Jesus spread throughout Judea and all the surrounding region.

20Igiel bho̠ i̠wal ogbo atu̠ghan ta̠ Azo̠n iru ra̠ i̠te̠i̠ A̠zizo̠s bho̠, sa̠ awa i̠gba inigha̠ i̠na ma̠a̠, “Azo̠n owurmamu̠m a̠ruom i̠yar oru ra̠ o̠te̠i̠ oyom opura̠n ma̠a̠, ‘Anwa o̠ni̠ wa̠ ta̠ a̠ru bho̠ ke̠re̠, bo̠d̠o̠ ka̠ i̠yar ogon opa̠n o̠ni̠?’ ”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?’”

21D̠a̠ onin obhel obha̠, A̠zizo̠s a̠koko ma̠ a̠d̠izo a̠nwunom a̠d̠umeni d̠a̠ rasu̠nwe̠r d̠awa, sa̠ a̠ze ma̠ i̠karabh aru̠mu̠gh, sa̠ a̠d̠ighi ma̠ ola̠ ogbo ya̠ o̠bi̠gh d̠o̠ ma̠ abar na̠ e̠bi̠gh.At that very hour Jesus healed many people of their diseases, afflictions, and evil spirits, and He gave sight to many who were blind.

22Sa̠ i̠na awo̠ran awa ma̠a̠, “Imula̠ ma̠ e̠gi̠ d̠a̠ Azo̠n ma̠ ebhin i̠di̠ar ya̠ inyin na̠ o̠bi̠gh bho̠, sekina̠ ya̠ inyin na̠ o̠mu̠gho̠n bho̠, ma̠ e̠gba ma̠ enigha̠ i̠na ma̠a̠: ogbo ya̠ a̠rid̠ien ib̠omia̠n bho̠ na̠ e̠bi̠gh esi, a̠rukula̠ bho̠ na̠ erile, ogbo ya̠ na̠ e̠nwe̠r asu̠nwe̠r ekid̠igh bho̠ na̠ okoko o̠b̠ab̠alame̠ni̠, remua̠ bho̠ na̠ e̠mu̠gho̠n abar, imumugh a̠nwunom na̠ ob̠egion, sa̠ na̠ o̠gba ma̠ ib̠eb̠i asu̠gbagba bho̠ na̠ onigha̠ ma̠ ronyigoiny bho̠.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.

23Itutumeni e̠ro̠ enigha̠ ma̠ i̠na o̠ni̠ wa̠, d̠a̠ ebula̠ ami̠, sa̠ ologi ima̠ra̠ odugh d̠o̠ bho̠.”Blessed is the one who does not fall away on account of Me.”

Ikpoko ya̠ na̠ eduka̠ d̠a̠ o̠fe̠gu̠ ke̠re̠?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?

25Ku̠gba ma̠ o̠ku̠a d̠o̠, ka̠ inyin u̠gi̠ ka̠ u̠bi̠gh ere? O̠ni̠ ola̠ na̠ a̠bura̠ ma̠ ib̠eb̠i ibura̠ ke̠re̠?

For they had received the baptism of John.

30Ya̠a̠, a̠nwunom Afarisi bho̠, sekina̠ ogbo ya̠ na̠ e̠ku̠ro̠m d̠a̠ oloko bho̠, ighel i̠to̠ ta̠ A̠zib̠a̠ ya̠ igboloma̠ ma̠ a̠ghud̠um d̠awa bho̠, ezin bho̠ awa ima̠ra̠ d̠o̠ ma̠ Azo̠n owur awa ma̠ amu̠m.But the Pharisees and experts in the law rejected God’s purpose for themselves, because they had not been baptized by John.

31Sa̠ Azizo̠s a̠pura̠n ma̠a̠, “Ami̠ ta̠ a̠bhin ere atu̠o̠m a̠nwunom amu̠m onon? Awa i̠gu̠b̠an ere?“To what, then, can I compare the men of this generation? What are they like?

Then she kissed His feet and anointed them with the perfume.

39Igiel bho̠ o̠ni̠ Afarisi wa̠ a̠lebh i̠na bho̠ abi̠gh abar onon bho̠, sa̠ i̠na a̠fugh d̠a̠ ologi d̠o̠yo̠ ma̠a̠, “O̠ni̠ onon aro̠ ma̠ owil nab̠o̠, i̠na ka̠ iloghom o̠le̠m ani̠ wa̠ na̠ a̠kula̠n i̠na bho̠, ma̠ ani̠ bho̠ od̠ighi ma̠ i̠karabh.”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!”

40Sa̠ A̠zizo̠s a̠fugh a̠mutiom awo̠ran i̠na ma̠a̠, “Asai̠mo̠n, ami̠ a̠nwuna̠ ma̠ abar ola̠ o̠gba onigha̠ oyom.” Sa̠ i̠na awo̠ran ma̠a̠, “O̠ni̠ atu̠ghu̠me̠ni̠, gba ma̠ a̠nigha̠ ami̠.”But Jesus answered him, “Simon, I have something to tell you.” “Tell me, Teacher,” he said.

41“I̠wal a̠nwunom id̠ikighu ma̠ i̠mu̠gh d̠a̠ agu̠o̠ odi o̠ni̠ ola̠ na̠ awo̠lo̠gi̠ ma̠ a̠nwunom ikpoki.

43Asai̠mo̠n awo̠ran ma̠a̠, “Ami̠ na̠ aru̠ru̠an ma̠ o̠ni̠ wa̠ u̠we̠le̠man o̠mu̠gh wa̠ abu̠gh a̠pu bho̠.” Sa̠ A̠zizo̠s agba a̠nigha̠ i̠na ma̠a̠, “Anwa na̠ a̠sobh ase̠ bho̠ ma̠ iya̠ igielake̠.”“I suppose the one who was forgiven more,” Simon replied. “You have judged correctly,” Jesus said.

But he who has been forgiven little loves little.”

48Sa̠ A̠zizo̠s agba a̠nigha̠ ma̠ ani̠ bho̠ ma̠a̠, “I̠karabh d̠oyom na̠ o̠we̠le̠man onigha̠ ma̠ anwa.”Then Jesus said to her, “Your sins are forgiven.”

50Sa̠ A̠zizo̠s a̠fugh a̠nigha̠ ma̠ ani̠ bho̠ ma̠a̠, “Ologi ima̠ra̠ d̠oyom na̠ etenemeni ma̠ anwa; gi̠e̠ na̠ ekima̠.”And Jesus told the woman, “Your faith has saved you; go in peace.”
