Luke 7 (STW) · Opened

1Oatowe Jesus a moannon aepesa oanongaen minikkeei ngaeniir aeremas kkewe, nge a noa Capernaum.When Jesus had concluded His discourse in the hearing of the people, He went to Capernaum.

2Erhai soamwoonin sonotawaen Rome eno erhai naiun rhooan engaang ne egin aerhaengi; nge rhooan engaang we naiun a gin semwaai nge epwene oaropaen mae.There a highly valued servant of a centurion was sick and about to die.

3Oatowe soamwoonin sonotaw we a rongorong wunuunun Jesus, a aefengaar noa mwaaen kkewe aar re Jews repwe noa faingito Jesus pwe epwe itto aecchipwa tae rhooan engaang we naiun.When the centurion heard about Jesus, he sent some Jewish elders to ask Him to come and heal his servant.

4Ra noa reen Jesus nge ra noa aeffaenipirhe ngaeni, “Mwaaen een nge yor ipitan wopwe tipaengi.They came to Jesus and pleaded with Him earnestly, “This man is worthy to have You grant this,

5Egin ffayeo ngaeniir aeremesarh nge iiy wooan oanongan a aiuwtae eew wutteer Jews pwe aarh.”for he loves our nation and has built our synagogue.”

6Iwe Jesus a tapweer noa rhooawe. Ese taaw saengi iimw we igiwe soamwoonin sonotaw we a aefengaar noa rhooawe maereyaeren pwe repwe noa aengaeni pwe, “Soamwoon, wosoapw aewwaeiraesiug. Pwe saapw ngaang erhai aeremas yor ipitan reen oamw wopwe itto toonong reei noan imwaei,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.

7nge saapw ngaang erhai aeremas yor ipitan reen aaei ipwe itto ngaeniug. Wopwe aepesa rhag epat kkepas nge rhooan engaang e naeyi epwe mamaaw tae.That is why I did not consider myself worthy to come to You. But just say the word, and my servant will be healed.

8Ngaang mwo nge pwan ngaang erhai mwaaen ino faaen nemaeniaen erhai e soamwoon saengiaei, nge epwan yor sonotaw kka reno faaen nemaeniaei. Ipwe aengaeni inaan pwe, ‘Wopwe noa!’ iwe a noa; iya aengaeni inaan pwe, ‘Wopwe itto!’ iwe a itto; iwe iya aengaeni rhooan akkiuneo, ‘Feeori minneen!’ iwe a feeori.”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.”

9Jesus a mwaar oatowe e rongorong minneen; a saep sefaaen ngaeniir mwirhaen aeremas we rettapw to mwirin nge a aengaeniir pwe, “Ipwe aengaenigaemi pwe, noan mwo Israel nge isaaen weri mwo taeppen niugiuniug een me ee!”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.”

10Iwe rhooawe maereyaeren soamwoonin sonotaw we ra sefaaen noa reen miniwe imwan nge ra noa weri pwe rhooan engaang we naiun a mamaaw noa.And when the messengers returned to the house, they found the servant in good health.

11Weni mwirin rhag oatowe nge Jesus a noa reen eew aepinoamw itan Nain, nge rhooan kkayeo kkewe naiun me eew pwuwaen aeremas re tapweto mwirin.Soon afterward, Jesus went to a town called Nain. His disciples went with Him, accompanied by a large crowd.

12Iwe oatowe a tooto reen wororaen aepinoamw we, nge ra pwigiwow erhai manimae. Mwaaen we emae i rhag naiun erhai rhooapwut iwe a mae pwiuniuwan, towunepaen aeremesaen aepinoamw we re tapweei niewe.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.

13Igiwe Soamwoon Jesus a weri niewe, iwe a gin faayeow, nge a aengaeni pwe, “Wosoapw saeng.”When the Lord saw her, He had compassion on her and said, “Do not weep.”

14Iwe a faaeraeg noa a noa geotteopa kakoonaen manimae we, iwe mwaaen kkewe re pwigi ra iug noa. Jesus a iura pwe, “Anian een! Rhimwitae!”Then He went up and touched the coffin, and those carrying it stood still. “Young man,” He said, “I tell you, get up!”

15Iwe manimae we a mooat tae iwe a ittae kkepas fetaen, iwe Jesus a fang sefaaen ngaeni niewe inan.And the dead man sat up and began to speak! Then Jesus gave him back to his mother.

16Iwe oanongeer noa ra igin mesag nge ra aepingepinga Deus. Iwe ra iura pwe, “Erhai profeta taegias iye a pwae me neeirh igina! Deus a itto epwe aemenewa naiun aeremas!”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!”

17Iwe miniwe kkepesaen Jesus a rheeoi fetaen noan oanongaen Judea me pwiuneoi kkewe oaron.And the news about Jesus spread throughout Judea and all the surrounding region.

18Iwe rhooan kkayeo kkewe naiun John Baptist ra itto reen John nge ra aengaeni oanongaen minikkewe, iwe e faingiir riiurhai me neeiirThen John’s disciples informed him about all these things.

19nge a aefengaar noa reen Soamwoon pwe repwe noa aeiyegiy pwe, “Een miniwe re iura pwe epwe itto, aere aeipwe wewweti erhai?”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?”

20Oatowe ra itto reen Jesus, nge ra iura pwe, “John Baptist e aefengagemaem to reemw pwe aeipwe itto aeiyegiug aere een miniwe re iura epwe itto, aere aeipwe wewweti erhai?”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?’”

21Faer oatowe rhag Jesus a aecchipwaar towunepaen aeremas saengi mesemesaen aar semwaai, nge epwan oatowowuur aniu aenneew me wooar, nge e aeffetaar noa rhooa masparh.At that very hour Jesus healed many people of their diseases, afflictions, and evil spirits, and He gave sight to many who were blind.

22A paniuwaeniir pwe, “Oaw sefaaen noa oawwa aengaeni John meeta kka oawwa weri me rongorong: rhooa masparh ra ffatenoa, rhooa pirhemae ra faaeraeg, rhooa kaenepaai ra gacch noa, rhooa saeningapiung ra rongorong, rhooa mae ra menawtae, nge Kkepas Mwamwaai we a fenai ngaeniir rhooa affayeo.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.

23Ifa mwo wenepwuweer rhooa se tip mwaramwar reei!”Blessed is the one who does not fall away on account of Me.”

24Weni mwirin aar rhooan pweipwogin kkepas kkewe naiun John ra noa, Jesus a kkepas ngaeniir aeremas kkewe reen wunuunun John: “Igine oawwa noa reen John noan desert we, meeta minne oaw niuwaennei pwe oawpwe noa weri? Efoarh fetin e mwoaroro reen aaeng?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?

25Meeta minne oawnoa pwe oawpwe weri? Erhai mwaaen kka e memmengaag tae mengaag nning? Rhooa kkomwu re memmengaag tae taeppen minikkena imwu reno rhag noan imwaen king!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.

26Aengaeniaei, meeta oawnoa pwe oawpwe weri? Erhai profeta? Ooa, ennetaen, oawwa weri erhai e taegias saengi erhai profeta.What then did you go out to see? A prophet? Yes, I tell you, and more than a prophet.

27Pwe John miniwe Pwapwior we e Santus e iura pwe, ‘Deus a kkepas, ngaang ipwene fangetiw naeyi rhooan pweipwogin kkepas me weni mmwoamw pwe epwe noa maeneti ennepoamw.’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.’

28Ipwe aengaenigaemi pwe John ina e taegias saengiir aeremas towunap kka reno wooan soanop. Iwe nge manna oarosaen git me noan minna Mweoiun Deus ina e taegias saengi John.”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.”

29Oanongeer aeremas nge re rongorong miniwe; iir me rhooan iyoiyon tax kkewe re rongorong minikka mwaeniaen Deus nge e wenewen, iwe oanongeer noa ra noa paptismus reen John.All the people who heard this, even the tax collectors, acknowledged God’s justice. For they had received the baptism of John.

30Iwe nge Pharisees me sinsein anniug kkewe rese tipaeni aaen Deus oatoat ngaeniir, iwe ina minne rese tipaeni no repwe paptismus reen John reen.But the Pharisees and experts in the law rejected God’s purpose for themselves, because they had not been baptized by John.

31Jesus a pwan iura pwe, “Iwe, meeta ipwe aweweei ngaeniir aeremesaen mweoi e igina? E ifa wunuunuur?“To what, then, can I compare the men of this generation? What are they like?

32Ra aeffitaeg ngaeniir rhag wonigaet kkewe remooat noan nenien chuwaai. Eew mwiirh nge re iyaekkepwas ngaeniir aaemweoi, ‘Aemaem aeiya pwai kker ngaenigaemi nge aaemi oawse maan! Aemaem aeiya arhiuwerhiuw, nge aaemi oawse saeng!’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.’

33John Baptist a itto, e aecchigipin nge ese pwan iun wine, nge aaemi oaw iura pwe, ‘Iiy eyor aniu aenneew wooan!’For John the Baptist came neither eating bread nor drinking wine, and you say, ‘He has a demon!’

34A itto Naiun Aeremas, e mwommwongo nge e iun nge oaw iura pwe, ‘Oaw pipiiy mwaaen een! Iiy erhai mwaaen mwongonap me iun wine, nge maereyaereer rhooan iyoiyon tax me rhooa monofit!’The Son of Man came eating and drinking, and you say, ‘Look at this glutton and drunkard, a friend of tax collectors and sinners!’

35Iwe nge minna repiaen Deus a pwae noa pwe ennet reer aeremas kka re tapweei.”But wisdom is vindicated by all her children.”

36Erhai Pharisee e tengaeg Jesus epwe noa mwongoon faaef reen, iwe Jesus a noa reen iimw we imwan a noa mooat tiw pwe repwene mwongo.Then one of the Pharisees invited Jesus to eat with him, and He entered the Pharisee’s house and reclined at the table.

37Noan aepinoamw we eno erhai rhooapwut monofit ee. Niewe e rongorong pwe Jesus e mwongo reen iimw we imwaen Pharisee we, iwe a pwigito eew neoningas,When a sinful woman from that town learned that Jesus was dining there, she brought an alabaster jar of perfume.

38iwe a noa iu mwirin Jesus oaron pirheen nge a saeng nge e oasopwutiw rhaniun mesan wooan pirheen Jesus. Iwe a aepaena ngaeni aennirhimwen nge a faeisongei miniwe pirheen Jesus, iwe a aepiti ngaeni neoningas.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.

39Igiwe Pharisee we a weri miniwe nge a kkepastiw rhag wooan nge a iura pwe, “Ngaere igine ennet pwe erhai profeta, mwaaeneei nge epwe pwae ngaeni iyo rhooapwut een me meeta taeppen aeremas iye e itto geotteopa; pwe rhooapwut een iye erhai maan monofit!”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!”

40Jesus a kkepas nge a iura pwe, “Simon, eyor minne ipwe aengaeniug mwo.” Simon a iura pwe, “Ooa wo sinsei, aengaeniaei?”But Jesus answered him, “Simon, I have something to tell you.” “Tell me, Teacher,” he said.

41Jesus a rhaepetae aan fioang, “Riiurhai mwaaen re monofit senaapiy me reen erhai rhooan fang senaapiy. Erhai e monofiti nimapwiugiuw faifayiun senaapiy silver, nge iwe erhai nimeig.“Two men were debtors to a certain moneylender. One owed him five hundred denarii, and the other fifty.

42Esooar erhai rhooawe e e rhiuwen mmwenen aera minikkiwe monofitiir, iwe mwaaen we a oamoaw noa minikkewe monofitiir. Iwe ifa erhai neeiir ne epwe temoag aan aerhaengi mwaaen we?”When they were unable to repay him, he forgave both of them. Which one, then, will love him more?”

43Simon a paniuwaeni pwe, “I maengi nge epwe mwaaen na e temoag minna e aar me reen monofitin.” Jesus a iura pwe, “Ennet reemw.”“I suppose the one who was forgiven more,” Simon replied. “You have judged correctly,” Jesus said.

44Iwe a toagun ngaeni rhooapwut we nge a mwaenieniy ngaeni Simon, “Woweri rhooapwut een? Ngaang itto noan minne imwoamw, nge esooar rhaan e wo ngoatto pwe toatoan pirheei, nge iya faer toafi pirheei reen rhaniun mesan nge e aepaena ngaeni aennirhimwen.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.

45Wose faeisongei aei reen oamw aewenimmwaeyaei, nge iiy iye esaaen iug noa mwo reen aan faeisongei pirheei saengi rhag oatowe i tooto.You did not greet Me with a kiss, but she has not stopped kissing My feet since I arrived.

46Esooar tiikka e wofang pwe aepitaen rhimwei, nge iiy a faer aepiti ngaeni pirheei neoningas.You did not anoint My head with oil, but she has anointed My feet with perfume.

47Iwe ina minne ipwe aengaeniug pwe, aerhaengerhaeng temoag e a pwaeri noa, ina a tiwegin pwe oanongaen minikkiwe monofitin nge a saenetaeg noa. Iwe nge iyo na e egius rhag monofit na e aessaenetaegiy nge ina e egius rhag aan aerhaengerhaeng.”Therefore I tell you, her many sins have been forgiven, for she has loved much. But he who has been forgiven little loves little.”

48Iwe Jesus a aengaeni rhooapwut pwe, “A saenetaeg noa monofitimw.”Then Jesus said to her, “Your sins are forgiven.”

49Rhooa kkewe aaemweoi iwe remooat reen table we ra iura fengaenni pwe, “Iyo minne epwan gaen aessaenetaegiy aar aeremas monofit?”But those at the table began to say to themselves, “Who is this who even forgives sins?”

50Nge Jesus a aengaeni rhooapwut we pwe, “Wa menaw reen oamw niugiuniug; wone noa noan oapoas.”And Jesus told the woman, “Your faith has saved you; go in peace.”
