Luke 7 (XSN) · Opened

1Malo oka Yeso ka beke epaname a pate aromo ya konaza, aka ere naka ale apeng a Kaparnahum.When Jesus had concluded His discourse in the hearing of the people, He went to Capernaum.

2A nyimi apengme, ondoogong ona tesa geza a moole a Roma waye ka ondo a nyimi azara wai oka waya kono na waya gbwǝ, ondo tesa geza a moole ome yeme ozara me ba bote.There a highly valued servant of a centurion was sick and about to die.

3A ondoogong ana o tesa geza omea wa tukǝ o kona oroka ba zaa Yeso, na wa tong anateandasau maYahuda, kane bose kai adorana aka de kaka boze ozara wai tana wa gbwi ne.When the centurion heard about Jesus, he sent some Jewish elders to ask Him to come and heal his servant.

4Ko dukǝ one ba Yeso, nane bose kai ba cak, ane bekaana, “Oromo ona wa gwara o kankama wai.They came to Jesus and pleaded with Him earnestly, “This man is worthy to have You grant this,

5Wa yeme aromo aro, kanza a wa sowa ro o dandaro gwarzanang maYahuda.”for he loves our nation and has built our synagogue.”

6Na Yeso ale kaa ne. Nangka ne amara ka akwilǝ me, na ondo tesa geza a moole me tong ajaa wai ba Yeso kane bekaa kai na, “Ateokora, tano gare okpwe ne, anta bare o deya akwilǝ ang ne.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.

7Epa eka e ote na ma tonga ba bo naname, mi anta bare ang deya bo ne, ba sokoo beka ngmǝ, ozara ong yo woma.That is why I did not consider myself worthy to come to You. But just say the word, and my servant will be healed.

8Mi ang ya taara te ondo, kanza ka ana o tesa geza a moole cak ba taara tong, ma bekaa ondo one na wa ale, a wa ale, ma beka ondo na deya a wa de, ma beka ozara na wa ye epana, a wa ye.”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.”

9Nangka Yeso ka kone nyimi, na oroka me taru kai a lenyong, naka wangarno ba ana o tare kai, naka bekaa ne na, “Anta ma cǝ ondo a nyimi Isrela kawa kabare ka Ashili ka lenyong leyende na oromo na ne.”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.”

10Na aromo amea atong ne kuri ba akwilǝ me, ane mana ozara me a wa woma.And when the messengers returned to the house, they found the servant in good health.

11Malo nyimi na Yeso ale apeng amea beya ai na Nayin, ana o tare o kai ka aromo a cak ne ale ka kai.Soon afterward, Jesus went to a town called Nain. His disciples went with Him, accompanied by a large crowd.

12Nangka ne amara ka buudu lyǝ apengme, nane laka aromo a surǝ ka ekeze ondasau omea a ngmeng wai a yende ba iini wai, ondaleme ondayeme wa rabo ko gbwǝ. A aromo a cak apengme a neye ka wai.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.

13Nangka Ateokora ka laka ondayeme, na egonegone moke kai, naka beka ondayeme na, “Tana o ruuzi ne.”When the Lord saw her, He had compassion on her and said, “Do not weep.”

14Na Yeso ale naka moke ogǝkǝ o keze me, na ana o anza ekeze me itǝ tiiyi. A Yeso beke keze me na, “Ondasau, ma beka bo na era.”Then He went up and touched the coffin, and those carrying it stood still. “Young man,” He said, “I tell you, get up!”

15Na ondooka wa gbwi wa ere a cikǝ, a wa bore o beya ngmǝ, na Yeso nya iini me wai.And the dead man sat up and began to speak! Then Jesus gave him back to his mother.

16Na boome be moke aromo me ba pate, aa ne saba Ashili. Ane bena, “Ondo o beya a ngmǝ ka mawo ma Ashili o gong wa ere a nyimi aro. Ashili a deya a boza aromo ai.”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!”

17Na oroka epa eka Yeso ka eza, wa ale ba kuruwǝ a nyimi Yahudiya ka makeke maame maya ma'amo ka maamane.And the news about Jesus spread throughout Judea and all the surrounding region.

18Ana o tare o Yohana ondo batisma nane bele wai epa eka ne kona. Na ka rare anda leere ba nyimi one,Then John’s disciples informed him about all these things.

19Na ka tong ne ba ra Ateokora kane pirkǝ na, “Boa Ondooka Ashili a zake ondooka waya deya na, te eke lenyong ba ondo kawa tata dimǝi?”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?”

20Nangka ne de ara Yeso, nane bekaana, “Yohana ondo batisma wa tonga ro ka te pirkau na, ‘Boa Ondooka Ashili a zake ondooka waya deya na, te eke lenyong ba ondo kawa tata dimǝi?’ ”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?’”

21A were name, Yeso ka womza ana makono, ka na o bere o buru, a ka nya o gonta aza andaaka neta gonta ne.At that very hour Jesus healed many people of their diseases, afflictions, and evil spirits, and He gave sight to many who were blind.

22Na Yeso kabare naka bekaa ne na, “kurǝ na ka e bekaa Yohana epa eka e kona, ka epa eka e laka. A pari a yizi rǝ, a gǝdǝ ya teweno, agangca ne cǝ lewoma, a pari teto te rara na neya konaza, andaaka ne gbwǝ ne era, kanza a beya oroka o lebo ara ana o dera.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.

23Ondo kona o leba oromo oka wa ote lenyong le wai a mi.”Blessed is the one who does not fall away on account of Me.”

24Malo kurǝ atoma Yohana, na Yeso bore o beya ngmǝ ka leguki le aromo aza Yohana, naka bekaana, “E ale o wake a laka eya? E ale ba laka ma wake ma ehywo mame obere ya pǝbǝ me na?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?

25Nyimia wa taza ne, e ale a laka e ya? E ale a laka ondooka wa amba magogoro ma rere na? Ana o ambaza magogoro me mate, o cikǝ o lebo neya akwilǝ ogomoa.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.

26Na eya e ale a laka me? Otoma Ashili na? Nyimia waa za, eyang bele o ying, wa kala otoma Ashili.What then did you go out to see? A prophet? Yes, I tell you, and more than a prophet.

27Yohana waya oromo ome angmǝ Ashili a bekaana, “ ‘Ma tonga otoma ong kawa kale a izi, ondooka wayo babaro orona zongka o de.’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.’

28Eyang belo ying, Yohana kala ko mana o gongnga a nyimi aromo aka a ngmenga. Pate ka nyimi ondooka waya baate akora Ashili wa kala wai.”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(Pate aromo amea ne kone oroka Yeso, ka ana o eesa emate makeke, nane kabare o bena, orona Ashili ya kap, aza o bena neya aromo ka Yohana wa eza ne o batisma.All the people who heard this, even the tax collectors, acknowledged God’s justice. For they had received the baptism of John.

30Aza nyimi na maParisa ka na o rosa ngmǝ ka Ashili a nya Mosa ne nyane epa eka Ashili a kedeya aza one, o bena ne nyane a Yohana eze ne o batisma.)But the Pharisees and experts in the law rejected God’s purpose for themselves, because they had not been baptized by John.

31Na Yeso lya izi ko beya na, “Aromo tomore teena ne tore eya?“To what, then, can I compare the men of this generation? What are they like?

32Neye na bana yanaa a cikǝ ara ejamane ane rare tokpwe to ne, ane beya na, “ ‘Te ulbi ying a uraru na e nyano yowa leera, te beya ying leera le ma'ade na e nyano ruuzi.’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.’

33Yohana ondo eza o batisma wa de, wata wa lyeeze epaolya ne, wata wa sooze manyi mo inabi ne, ne beya na, ‘Waye ko bere o buru.’For John the Baptist came neither eating bread nor drinking wine, and you say, ‘He has a demon!’

34Kanza kena ka oromo ka de, aka ya lyeeza aka sooze, ne bekaana, ‘Laka na kando ko lyelyeza ko sosoza, kaja kana o eesa emate makeke, ka ana madinǝ.’The Son of Man came eating and drinking, and you say, ‘Look at this glutton and drunkard, a friend of tax collectors and sinners!’

35Pate ka nyimi andaaka ne kabare ka o ama Ashili, ne wore o bekaana o ama me wai ka maganggang.”But wisdom is vindicated by all her children.”

36OParisa yende rare Yeso kane lye mete akwilǝ wai, naka ale a ka cikǝ aka lya epaolya me.Then one of the Pharisees invited Jesus to eat with him, and He entered the Pharisee’s house and reclined at the table.

37A nyimi apeng ame ondaye yende wa zene kawa cikǝ nyimi madinǝ ma wai. Nangka wa kone na Yeso ka deya a lya epaolya akwilǝ oParisa, na wa de ka manau mo waze o lebo ma emate e cak aka kagbwi.When a sinful woman from that town learned that Jesus was dining there, she brought an alabaster jar of perfume.

38Na ondaye me de, na wa itǝ a malo Yeso ating tobona te kai, a wa ya ruuzi. Nangka mayizi ma wai ma jakazǝ tobona te Yeso, na wa pisi ka sekpwe se wai, a wa lembe tobona te Yeso aza o kona leba, malo nyimi a ondaye me cokome manau ma o waze o lebo a tobona te kai.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.

39Nangka oParisa oka wa rare Yeso a lya mete wa laka epa eka ondaye me wa eza, na wa beke a nyimi lenyong le wai na, “Karomo kana kando ka o beya angmǝ ka mawo ma Ashilia kaaza, kaayo rosa ombela ondaye waana. Kanza kaayo rosa o bena ondaye me ondo madinǝ wai.”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!”

40Na Yeso bekaa oParisa me na, “Siman, eyang ka epa eka emea eyang bele o.” Nawa bekaana “Beka, Ondo baala.”But Jesus answered him, “Simon, I have something to tell you.” “Tell me, Teacher,” he said.

41A Yeso bekaa wai na, “Oromo yende wa zene ka wa tare aromo leere o duru, ondo bora a tare wai o duru emate ogole mareka betuuru ko riiru, ondo leere me a tare wai o duru ogole o mareka tuuri esu.“Two men were debtors to a certain moneylender. One owed him five hundred denarii, and the other fifty.

42Pate aromo leere me nane ta ama o ara o duru me ne, na oromo me wa baya ne ka emate me, o laka o, mana ba nyimi one, wayo waale a yeme o oromo omea wa baya ne ka emate me?”When they were unable to repay him, he forgave both of them. Which one, then, will love him more?”

43Na Siman kabare na wa bekaana, “O laka ong ondooka a baya wai ka emate e cake.” Na Yeso kabare naka bekaana, “Maleo. Ba bekaa kap.”“I suppose the one who was forgiven more,” Simon replied. “You have judged correctly,” Jesus said.

44Na Yeso laka ondaye me, aka bekaa Siman na, “Ba laka ondaye na? Ma deya ba akwilǝ au, ota ba nyang manyi kang kpizi tobona tong ne, laka ondaye na wa kwizǝ tobona tong ka mayizi ma wai, kanza wa pisǝ ka sekpwe se wai.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.

45Ota ba gwara ongmǝ kami ne a were aka ma lyǝ akwilǝ au, laka ondaye na ko lyǝ wai, a wa taru aa lemba tobona tong na wata baya ne.You did not greet Me with a kiss, but she has not stopped kissing My feet since I arrived.

46Ota ba cokoma manau okpwe ong ka o wore o emba ka o gongnga ong ne, laka ondaye na wa cokoma manau ma o waze o lebo a tobona tong.You did not anoint My head with oil, but she has anointed My feet with perfume.

47Aza nyimi, a kwizǝ madinǝ ma wai ma cake maaka maya wai, wa wore o yeme o cake. Ondo oka a kwizǝ wai ma baate, wa wore o yeme o baate.”Therefore I tell you, her many sins have been forgiven, for she has loved much. But he who has been forgiven little loves little.”

48Na Yeso bekaa ondaye me na, “A kwizǝ madinǝ mau.”Then Jesus said to her, “Your sins are forgiven.”

49Aromo me ne ya lya epaolya ka kai, nane bore o beya tokpwe tone na, “Mana ondo ona kawa ama o kwizǝ madinǝ ma cake?”But those at the table began to say to themselves, “Who is this who even forgives sins?”

50Na Yeso bekaa ondaye me na, “Nangka ba kabare ka mi, aza o bekaana ma era ang bozau, ale a cammo.”And Jesus told the woman, “Your faith has saved you; go in peace.”
