Luke 7 (PLJ) · Opened

1Kan Yesu pa'i yari kup argon tu kan tǝ ndu tǝ yari mbarǝmo, ar ni tǝ ndara Kaparnahum.When Jesus had concluded His discourse in the hearing of the people, He went to Capernaum.

2Zher kǝ bar mǝn bi utu kǝ Roma den kumi dli, tǝra bi dǝ mǝshtǝni. Bar mǝn bi utu kǝ Romayi ba ndu zher gǝsi nari.There a highly valued servant of a centurion was sick and about to die.

3Nan tǝ kum'e Yesu rawo, ar ni tǝ kar kiri kǝ mǝn Yahuda, wu lir ti tǝ ɗir warke zher gǝsi.When the centurion heard about Jesus, he sent some Jewish elders to ask Him to come and heal his servant.

4Kiri yi lir Yesu hoyi, wu wule, <<In murgon ra kan ba ndu ne am rawo, mbarǝm tu ni.They came to Jesus and pleaded with Him earnestly, “This man is worthy to have You grant this,

5Tǝ ndu mbarǝm gǝmi nari, tini ma tǝ tu'i mi bom kumi shirǝm kǝ Yami.>>for he loves our nation and has built our synagogue.”

6Kan Yesu ba kop wuri, tǝ dlyam na bom tu kan wuriwi da gwa, ar ni bar mǝn bi utu tu kar berǝm gǝs jen rǝnka, tǝ wul ti'e, <<Babomi, ba kǝ ghun gam gi kǝ ɗirtǝn da'a, amo a kǝm kǝ ɗir lastu kan a dǝm gwa da'a.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.

7Amo a pali gam gǝn argonni da'a nan a ri kar ki gwa. Untuwo, shirǝme, zher gǝn ba warke.That is why I did not consider myself worthy to come to You. But just say the word, and my servant will be healed.

8Ami ma am dǝ jenni ami ra, na mǝn bi utu karǝmi, a wul muntu'e, <Rǝka,> Kan tǝ ri, gon ngapo, <Ɗiri>, Kan tǝ ɗiri, a pa wul zher gǝni'e, <Pi bar kǝni>, Kan tǝ pi.>>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.”

9Nan Yesu kum untuwo, ar ni tǝ nǝm bi na ame, kan tǝ bal ti rǝn den womti mbarǝm ju kan den kopi gǝs gwa, tǝ wule, <<A yari ine, ko gip Isra'ila a zam mǝn la'i Yam mbatl wule muntu wi da'a!>>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.”

10Nan munju kar wuri pal rǝn bomkawo, arni wu zam zheri warke wi.And when the messengers returned to the house, they found the servant in good health.

11Ar ri dlyam wi da’a, ar ni Yesu ndara gip bǝn goni, muntu ba wul ti'e Nayin gwa, mǝn kopi gǝs na mbarǝm na womti ndara nan ti.Soon afterward, Jesus went to a town called Nain. His disciples went with Him, accompanied by a large crowd.

12Tǝ mbi kosak na bǝdlabǝn tetǝn gip bǝni ituwi, arni tǝ zam mbarǝm pǝn mǝshi mbarǝm ɗirwi, tini nǝm den nase, bakos gǝs mǝsh kawi pa'e. Mbarǝm na womti la ti tǝpe.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.

13Nan Yesu shin tiwo, guna ci ti den ti, arni tǝ wul ti'e, <<Za kulu.>>When the Lord saw her, He had compassion on her and said, “Do not weep.”

14Arni tǝ isha ti teka, tǝ taɓe bar kǝ pǝni mǝshi mbarǝmi, munju den pǝni ngapo kan wu dlǝr kǝ ba lasi. Kan Yesu ba wule, <<Nye moni, a wul ki'e kǝ tlyami!>>Then He went up and touched the coffin, and those carrying it stood still. “Young man,” He said, “I tell you, get up!”

15Ar ni mǝshi mbarǝmi tlyami tǝ dǝm njon, kan tǝ nǝm shirǝmi! Yesu ta ti am dǝ mǝn gǝri gǝsi.And the dead man sat up and began to speak! Then Jesus gave him back to his mother.

16Ar ni bǝrti nǝm wur kup gǝzǝn na nari, arni wu nǝm ɗǝɗa Yami, kan wu wule, <<Bar mǝn shirǝm na Yam mbira kar mi wi, sekǝno Yam mom na mbarǝm gǝs wi.>>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!”

17Shirǝm den argon tu Yesu pi gastuwo ar ri kup atl kǝ Yahudiya na atl ju kano ra markǝmi gwa.And the news about Jesus spread throughout Judea and all the surrounding region.

18Mir mǝn kulci kar Yohana mǝn Batisma yari ti kup bar ju kan pi gwa.Then John’s disciples informed him about all these things.

19Ar ni Yohana labi mir mǝn kulci kar ti mbarǝm rop, tǝ kar wur ri kar Babomi ka, tǝ den ndu'i'e tǝ momi ti ni'e mǝn surtǝn tu ya, ko dǝ wu ɓut zuti.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?”

20Nan mbarǝm ju mbu bar kar tiwo, wu wul Yesu'e, <<Yohana mǝn Batismani kar mi kar ki, tǝ ndu'e tǝ momi, <Ki ni'e mǝn surtǝn tuya, ko mǝ ɓut zuti?>>>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?’”

21Gip wokoci yi, ar ni Yesu warke mbarǝm na womti munju kan den kumi dli, na arjen ju den ghuni gǝzǝn gwa, na mǝn dun itǝri. Kan tǝ bi ger tabi na womti.At that very hour Jesus healed many people of their diseases, afflictions, and evil spirits, and He gave sight to many who were blind.

22Arni tǝ wul wur'e, <<Ri yarini Yohana argon tu kǝ kum kan kǝ shin gwa. Tabi den shini bari, munju kan na asǝm da'a wu den desi, mǝn ndǝcci den zami warketǝne, munju kan ba kum da'a wu den kumi, mǝshi mbarǝm den tlyamtǝn lasi, munju am ri wur kar da'a den kumi wazu zo shirǝm kǝ Yami.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.

23Albarka ra den muntu kan pat asǝmka na sun gǝn da gwa.>>Blessed is the one who does not fall away on account of Me.”

24Kan mǝn kartǝn kǝ Yohana ndarawo, ar ni Yesu shirǝm na womti mbarǝmi den Yohana, tǝ wule, <<Kǝri gip lǝp kǝ shini unu? Jir jukan itǝr ba jiti gwaya?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?

25Dawo, unun ri ine? Mbarǝm mǝn la'i bar lulura? Shinni! Munju ba la bar lulur, na dǝmi kǝ kumi tǝmiwo, gip bom kǝ gunni wura.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.

26Untu da'a, kǝ ri ni kǝ shini unu? Mǝn yari shirǝm kǝ Yam na? Untuni, a yari i'ne, tǝ man mǝn yari shirǝm kǝ Yami.What then did you go out to see? A prophet? Yes, I tell you, and more than a prophet.

27Ti ni'e muntu rǝsh den ti gwa'e, <Aa kar nye mǝn kartǝn bar gǝn cina da'i, muntu kan baa kǝrkǝmi'i guntǝp gi gwa.>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.’

28A yari ine, gip munju kan mǝtli gǝriwo, gon ra kan man Yohana nartǝn gwa da'a. Kup na untu, muntu kan'e heli gip mulki kǝ Yamo, tǝ man ti nartǝni.>>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.”

29Nan mbarǝm kup na mǝn nǝmi wurpi bom kum untuwo, ar ni wu nǝm'e Yamo mǝn pitǝn korni, domici Yohana pi wur batisma wi.All the people who heard this, even the tax collectors, acknowledged God’s justice. For they had received the baptism of John.

30Ama Parisawa na mǝn kulci mbarǝm shirǝm tu kan Yam bi Musa gwa, nge argon tu Yam ba ndu nan wur gwa, domici wu nge dǝ Yohana pi wur batisma.But the Pharisees and experts in the law rejected God’s purpose for themselves, because they had not been baptized by John.

31<<Na unun a ngash mbarǝm kǝ zhan kǝni, imni wura?“To what, then, can I compare the men of this generation? What are they like?

32Wule mimirni wura, munju ba dǝm kǝ ba bar pǝt gwa, wu labi ezǝn, wu wule, <Mǝ hori in mǝzhele, kǝ dlar da'a, mǝ la utu bomi, kǝ kul da'a.>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.’

33Ar tu Yohana mǝn batisma ɗiri, tǝ ci burodi da'a, tǝ tla mati shambǝr da'a, kǝ pal kǝ wule, <Tǝ mǝn itǝr ni.>For John the Baptist came neither eating bread nor drinking wine, and you say, ‘He has a demon!’

34Nya Mbarǝm ɗir tǝ ci tǝ tla, kǝ pal kǝ wule, <Bar mǝn ci, bar mǝn tle, berǝm kǝ mǝn nǝmi wurpi bom na mǝn warwat pitǝne.>The Son of Man came eating and drinking, and you say, ‘Look at this glutton and drunkard, a friend of tax collectors and sinners!’

35Kup na untu, munju kan nǝm hikima kǝ Yam tor gip mbatl gǝzǝno, pitǝn gǝzǝn ba gode'e hikimayi'e ge shirǝmi.>>But wisdom is vindicated by all her children.”

36Ba Parise gon la tibi kǝ ci bar kǝ ci. Ar ni tǝ ri bom da ti, tǝ dǝm kǝ ba ci fingali.Then one of the Pharisees invited Jesus to eat with him, and He entered the Pharisee’s house and reclined at the table.

37Kan nagǝr gon muntu ba pi ho pitǝn da gwa, kum' e Yesu den ci bar kǝ ci rǝn bom dǝ Ba Parise ka, kan tǝ ɗir na zo mbun let mir mǝn tǝmi kasǝri.When a sinful woman from that town learned that Jesus was dining there, she brought an alabaster jar of perfume.

38Tǝ dlǝr kar da ti, kǝ ba kar asǝm gǝsi tǝ den kulu. Ar ni lun gǝs shot den kar asǝm gǝsi, tǝ sarka na ta gam gǝsi, tǝ nǝm ɓopi, kan tǝ bǝrkeka na mir mǝn tǝmi kasǝri.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.

39Gip untuwo, nan Ba Parise tu kan la ti bi shin untuwo, ar ni tǝ dam ti gip mbatl gǝsi, tǝ wule, <<Mbarǝm kǝno mǝn shirǝm na Yamni haro, ti mom unu nagǝr ni'e muntu kan ba ne am den ti gwa, ar tu ti mǝn ho pitǝn ni da'a.>>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 nǝmi ti, tǝ wule, <<Saminu, a ndu shirǝm nan ki.>> Ar ni tǝ wul ti'e, <<Malam, yari.>>But Jesus answered him, “Simon, I have something to tell you.” “Tell me, Teacher,” he said.

41Yesu wul ti'e, <<Mbarǝm gon ba kop mbarǝm rop wurpi, nǝmo wurpi zangu nantam kǝ zinariya, nǝm ngapo hauya rop na kutl.“Two men were debtors to a certain moneylender. One owed him five hundred denarii, and the other fifty.

42Nan wu mani ɓatli dawo, ar ni tǝ za'i wurka kup gǝzǝn ropi. Gip wuro woni ba ndu ti mani?>>When they were unable to repay him, he forgave both of them. Which one, then, will love him more?”

43Saminu nǝmi ti tǝ wule, <<Gip shini gǝno, muntu tǝ za'i ti narika gwa.>> Yesu wul ti'e, <<Kǝ yari dlat.>>“I suppose the one who was forgiven more,” Simon replied. “You have judged correctly,” Jesus said.

44Nan tǝ bali ger kar nagǝriwo, tǝ wul Saminu'e, <<Kǝ shǝn nagǝr tuya, a ter gip bom gi kǝ bin mal ho'i kar asǝm da'a, tǝwo tǝ shot lun gǝs den kar asǝm gǝni, tǝ sarka na ta gam gǝsi.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.

45Kiwo kǝ ɓopǝn da'a, tiwo, tun nan a tero, tǝ za ɓopi kar asǝm gǝn da'a.You did not greet Me with a kiss, but she has not stopped kissing My feet since I arrived.

46Kǝ shotim mir den gam da'a, tiwo, tǝ shotin mir mǝn tǝmi kasǝr den kar asǝm gǝni.You did not anoint My head with oil, but she has anointed My feet with perfume.

47Ra untuwo, a yari'i, wani bar ju tǝ piwo kup pǝni ti kawi, ar ni kem tiwo tǝ pi ndutǝn nari. Ama muntu pǝni ti nye heli wani pitǝnkawo, ndutǝn njem ni tǝ pi.>>Therefore I tell you, her many sins have been forgiven, for she has loved much. But he who has been forgiven little loves little.”

48Ar ni tǝ wul nagǝr mǝri'e, <<Pǝni'i wani pitǝn gi kawi.>>Then Jesus said to her, “Your sins are forgiven.”

49Munju den ci nan tiwo, wu wul ezǝn'e, <<Muntuwo woni'e ti, mǝn pǝni wani pitǝnkawe?>>But those at the table began to say to themselves, “Who is this who even forgives sins?”

50Ar ni Yesu wul gǝri'e, <<La'i Yam mbatl gi ɗǝli iwi, ndara na ghol mbatli.>>And Jesus told the woman, “Your faith has saved you; go in peace.”
