< Luke 8 >

1 And it came to pass thereafter, that he was going through every city and village, preaching and proclaiming good news of the reign of God, and the twelve [are] with him,
Mgbe ihe ndị a gasịrị, ọ gara nʼobodo ukwu niile na nʼobodo nta niile na-ekwusa ma na-ewetakwara ndị mmadụ oziọma nke alaeze Chineke. Ndị ozi iri na abụọ ahụ sokwa ya,
2 and certain women, who were healed of evil spirits and infirmities, Mary who is called Magdalene, from whom seven demons had gone forth,
na ụmụ nwanyị ụfọdụ ndị a chụpụrụ mmụọ ọjọọ site nʼime ha, gwọkwa ha nrịa nrịa: Meri Magdalin onye e sitere nʼime ya chụpụ mmụọ ọjọọ asaa,
3 and Joanna wife of Chuza, steward of Herod, and Susanna, and many others, who were ministering to him from their substance.
na Joana nwunye Chuza onye na-elekọta ụlọeze Herọd na akụ ya niile, na Suzana, na ọtụtụ ndị ọzọ ndị ji akụ ha na-enyere ha aka.
4 And a great multitude having gathered, and those who from city and city were coming unto him, he spake by a simile:
Mgbe oke igwe mmadụ gbakọrọ ha na ndị mmadụ si nʼobodo dị iche iche bịakwute ya. Ọ tụụrụ ha ilu a sị,
5 'The sower went forth to sow his seed, and in his sowing some indeed fell beside the way, and it was trodden down, and the fowls of the heaven did devour it.
“Ọgha mkpụrụ pụrụ ịkụ mkpụrụ ya, mgbe ọ nọ na-agha mkpụrụ ndị a, ụfọdụ nʼime mkpụrụ ahụ dara nʼakụkụ ụzọ ebe ndị mmadụ zọrọ ha ụkwụ, ụmụ nnụnụ bịakwara tụrịa ha loo.
6 'And other fell upon the rock, and having sprung up, it did wither, through not having moisture.
Ụfọdụ nʼime ha dakwasịrị nʼelu nkume. Mgbe ha puputara chọọ ito, ha kpọnwụrụ nʼihi na mgbọrọgwụ ha enweghị ike ịmịta mmiri mkpụrụ ahụ ga-eji dị ndụ.
7 'And other fell amidst the thorns, and the thorns having sprung up with it, did choke it.
Ụfọdụ dara nʼetiti ogwu, ogwu ndị a sooro ha puo ma kpagbuo ha.
8 'And other fell upon the good ground, and having sprung up, it made fruit an hundred fold.' These things saying, he was calling, 'He having ears to hear — let him hear.'
Ụfọdụ nʼime mkpụrụ dara nʼezi ala. Ha puputara, too, mịa mkpụrụ dị otu narị nʼọnụọgụgụ.” Mgbe o kwusiri nke a, ọ sịrị ha, “Onye ọbụla nwere ntị ịnụ ihe, ya nụrụ.”
9 And his disciples were questioning him, saying, 'What may this simile be?'
Ndị na-eso ụzọ ya jụrụ ya ihe ilu a pụtara.
10 And he said, 'To you it hath been given to know the secrets of the reign of God, and to the rest in similes; that seeing they may not see, and hearing they may not understand.
Ọ sịrị, “Ọ bụ unu ka e nyere ịmata ihe omimi niile nke alaeze Chineke, ma ndị ọzọ ga-anụ ya naanị nʼilu. Site nʼụzọ dị otu a, “‘ha ga na-ele anya, ma ha agaghị ahụ ihe ọbụla. Ha ga na-anụ ntị ma ha agaghị aghọta ihe ọbụla.’
11 'And this is the simile: The seed is the word of God,
“Nke a bụ nkọwa ilu ahụ. Mkpụrụ ahụ bụ okwu Chineke.
12 and those beside the way are those hearing, then cometh the Devil, and taketh up the word from their heart, lest having believed, they may be saved.
Mkpụrụ dara nʼakụkụ ụzọ nọchiri anya ndị nụrụ okwu Chineke, ma ekwensu bịara napụ ha okwu ahụ nʼobi ha, ka ha ghara ikwere ma nwetakwa nzọpụta.
13 'And those upon the rock: They who, when they may hear, with joy do receive the word, and these have no root, who for a time believe, and in time of temptation fall away.
Mkpụrụ ndị ahụ dara nʼelu nkume nọchiri anya ndị nụrụ okwu Chineke jiri ọṅụ nabata ya, ma ha enweghị mgbọrọgwụ nʼime ha. Ha na-ekwere naanị nwa oge nta, ma mgbe ọnwụnwa bịara ha na-adachapụ.
14 'And that which fell to the thorns: These are they who have heard, and going forth, through anxieties, and riches, and pleasures of life, are choked, and bear not to completion.
Mkpụrụ nke dara nʼetiti ogwu nọchiri anya ndị nụrụ okwu Chineke, ma mgbe ha na-aga nʼụzọ ha, echiche banyere akụ na ihe ụtọ nke ụwa na-akpagbu okwu ahụ, mee ka ha ghara ịmị mkpụrụ.
15 'And that in the good ground: These are they, who in an upright and good heart, having heard the word, do retain [it], and bear fruit in continuance.
Ma mkpụrụ ndị ahụ dara nʼezi ala nọchiri anya ndị jiri obi ghere oghe na mmụọ ziri ezi nabata okwu ahụ ma werekwa ndidi mịpụta mkpụrụ.
16 'And no one having lighted a lamp doth cover it with a vessel, or under a couch doth put [it]; but upon a lamp-stand he doth put [it], that those coming in may see the light,
“Ọ dịghị onye ọbụla, nke na-amụnye oriọna zoo ya nʼime igbe maọbụ dọnye ya nʼokpuru ihe ndina. Kama, ọ na-adọkwasị ya nʼelu ihe ịdọba ọkụ ka ndị ọbụla na-abata nʼụlọ ahụ jiri ya hụ ụzọ.
17 for nothing is secret, that shall not become manifest, nor hid, that shall not be known, and become manifest.
Ọ dịghị ihe ọbụla zoro ezo nke na-agaghị emesịa pụta ìhè, ọ dịkwaghị ihe ọbụla dị nzuzo nke a na-aghaghị eme ka ọ pụta ìhè.
18 'See, therefore, how ye hear, for whoever may have, there shall be given to him, and whoever may not have, also what he seemeth to have, shall be taken from him.'
Ya mere, kpacharanụ anya otu unu si ege ntị. Nʼihi na ọ bụ onye ahụ nwere ihe ka a ga-enye karịa, ma onye ahụ na-enweghị, ọ bụladị nke o nwere, ka a ga-anapụ ya.”
19 And there came unto him his mother and brethren, and they were not able to get to him because of the multitude,
Nʼoge a, nne ya na ụmụnne ya nwoke bịakwutere ya. Ma ha enweghị ike ịbịaru ya nso nʼihi igwe mmadụ.
20 and it was told him, saying, 'Thy mother and thy brethren do stand without, wishing to see thee;'
Otu onye gwara ya sị, “Nne gị na ụmụnne gị ndị nwoke guzo nʼezi, ha chọrọ ịhụ gị.”
21 and he answering said unto them, 'My mother and my brethren! they are those who the word of God are hearing, and doing.'
Ọ zara sị, “Nne m na ụmụnne m ndị nwoke bụ ndị ahụ na-anụ okwu Chineke ma jiri ya mere ihe.”
22 And it came to pass, on one of the days, that he himself went into a boat with his disciples, and he said unto them, 'We may go over to the other side of the lake;' and they set forth,
Otu ụbọchị, ya na ndị na-eso ụzọ ya banyere nʼụgbọ mmiri, ọ sịrị ha, “Ka anyị gafee nʼofe nke ọzọ nke osimiri.” Nke a mere ha ji nụpụ ụgbọ,
23 and as they are sailing he fell deeply asleep, and there came down a storm of wind to the lake, and they were filling, and were in peril.
ma mgbe ha na-aga, ọ rahụrụ ụra. Oke ifufe malitere ife nʼelu ọdọ mmiri ahụ, nke mere na mmiri na-awụbanye nʼime ụgbọ ha, mee ka ha nọrọ nʼoke nsogbu.
24 And having come near, they awoke him, saying, 'Master, master, we perish;' and he, having arisen, rebuked the wind and the raging of the water, and they ceased, and there came a calm,
Ha gara kpọtee ya na-eti mkpu, “Nna anyị ukwu! Nna anyị ukwu! Lee na anyị nʼala nʼiyi!” O biliri, baara ifufe na ebili mmiri ahụ mba. Ha dara jụụ, ebe niile dekwara jii.
25 and he said to them, 'Where is your faith?' and they being afraid did wonder, saying unto one another, 'Who, then, is this, that even the winds he doth command, and the water, and they obey him?'
Ọ sịrị ha, “Ebee ka okwukwe unu dị?” Ha ji oke egwu na oke iju anya jụrịta onwe ha sị, “Onye bụ onye a? Ọ na-enye ọ bụladị ifufe na ebili mmiri iwu, ha na-aṅakwa ya ntị.”
26 And they sailed down to the region of the Gadarenes, that is over-against Galilee,
Ha kwọrọ ụgbọ mmiri rute nʼala Gerazin, nke dị nʼofe mmiri Galili.
27 and he having gone forth upon the land, there met him a certain man, out of the city, who had demons for a long time, and with a garment was not clothed, and in a house was not abiding, but in the tombs,
Mgbe o si nʼụgbọ mmiri rịpụta nʼelu ala, otu nwoke obodo ahụ onye mmụọ ọjọọ bi nʼime ya zutere ya. Nwoke a ebighị nʼụlọ maọbụ yie uwe ogologo oge, ma ebe obibi ya bụ ebe a na-eli ozu.
28 and having seen Jesus, and having cried out, he fell before him, and with a loud voice, said, 'What — to me and to thee, Jesus, Son of God Most High? I beseech thee, mayest thou not afflict me!'
Mgbe ọ hụrụ Jisọs, ọ bịara daa nʼihu ya, tie mkpu nʼoke olu sị, “Gịnị ka mụ na gị nwekọrọ Jisọs, Ọkpara Chineke Onye kachasị ihe niile elu? Biko arịọ m gị, atala m ahụhụ.”
29 For he commanded the unclean spirit to come forth from the man, for many times it had caught him, and he was being bound with chains and fetters — guarded, and breaking asunder the bonds he was driven by the demons to the deserts.
Nʼihi na o nyela mmụọ ahụ na-adịghị ọcha iwu ka o site nʼime ya pụta. Ọtụtụ oge, mmụọ ọjọọ a na-ejidesi ya ike, nʼagbanyeghị na eji ụdọ igwe kee ya aka na ụkwụ, debe ebe a na-eche ya nche, ọ na-adọbisi ụdọ igwe e ji kee ya, mmụọ ọjọọ a na-eduru ya gaa nʼime ọzara.
30 And Jesus questioned him, saying, 'What is thy name?' and he said, 'Legion,' (because many demons were entered into him, )
Jisọs jụrụ ya sị, “Gịnị bụ aha gị?” Ọ zara sị, “Lijiọn,” nʼihi na igwe mmụọ ọjọọ bi nʼime ya.
31 and he was calling on him, that he may not command them to go away to the abyss, (Abyssos g12)
Ha rịọsiri ya arịrịọ ike ka ọ ghara inye ha iwu ka ha banye nʼAbis. (Abyssos g12)
32 and there was there a herd of many swine feeding in the mountain, and they were calling on him, that he might suffer them to enter into these, and he suffered them,
Igwe ezi nọ nʼakụkụ ugwu dị ebe ahụ nso na-akpa nri. Mmụọ ọjọọ ndị a rịọrọ Jisọs ka o nye ha ike ka ha banye nʼime ha. Jisọs nyere ha ike.
33 and the demons having gone forth from the man, did enter into the swine, and the herd rushed down the steep to the lake, and were choked.
Mmụọ ọjọọ ndị ahụ sitere nʼime nwoke a pụọ banye nʼime ezi ndị ahụ, igwe ezi ahụ niile sitere na mkputamkpu ala ọnụ mmiri ahụ gbara ọsọ dabanyechaa nʼime mmiri ebe osimiri riri ha.
34 And those feeding [them], having seen what was come to pass, fled, and having gone, told [it] to the city, and to the fields;
Mgbe ndị na-elekọta ezi ahụ hụrụ ihe mere, ha gbara ọsọ gaa nʼime obodo na nʼobodo nta niile dị gburugburu ebe ahụ kọsaa ihe mere.
35 and they came forth to see what was come to pass, and they came unto Jesus, and found the man sitting, out of whom the demons had gone forth, clothed, and right-minded, at the feet of Jesus, and they were afraid;
Ndị mmadụ pụtara ịhụ ihe mere. Mgbe ha rutere ebe Jisọs nọ, ha hụrụ nwoke ahụ e si nʼime ya chụpụ mmụọ ọjọọ ndị ahụ, ebe ọ nọdụrụ ala yiri uwe ma nọrọkwa nʼezi uche ya. Egwu tụrụ ha.
36 and those also having seen [it], told them how the demoniac was saved.
Ndị hụrụ ka ihe a si mee kọọrọ ha ka e siri gwọọ onye ahụ mmụọ ọjọọ na-esogbu.
37 And the whole multitude of the region of the Gadarenes round about asked him to go away from them, because with great fear they were pressed, and he having entered into the boat, did turn back.
Mgbe ahụ, ndị niile bi na Gerazin na nʼobodo gbara ebe ahụ gburugburu rịọrọ Jisọs ka ọ hapụrụ ha obodo ha, nʼihi na egwu dị ukwuu tụrụ ha. Ọ banyekwara nʼime ụgbọ mmiri ahụ laghachi.
38 And the man from whom the demons had gone forth was beseeching of him to be with him, and Jesus sent him away, saying,
Nwoke a e sitere nʼime ya chụpụ mmụọ ọjọọ rịọrọ ya ka o soro ya ma o zilagara ya, sị ya,
39 'Turn back to thy house, and tell how great things God did to thee;' and he went away through all the city proclaiming how great things Jesus did to him.
“Laghachi nʼezinaụlọ gị kọọrọ ha ihe niile Chineke meere gị.” Nwoke ahụ lara, gbasaa akụkọ ihe Jisọs meere ya nʼobodo ahụ niile.
40 And it came to pass, in the turning back of Jesus, the multitude received him, for they were all looking for him,
Mgbe Jisọs lọghachiri, igwe mmadụ nabatara ya nʼihi na ha niile na-eche ya.
41 and lo, there came a man, whose name [is] Jairus, and he was a chief of the synagogue, and having fallen at the feet of Jesus, was calling on him to come to his house;
Mgbe ahụ otu nwoke nke aha ya bụ Jairọs, onye bụ onyeisi nʼụlọ ekpere, bịara daa nʼala nʼụkwụ Jisọs na-arịọ ya ka ọ bịa nʼụlọ ya.
42 because he had an only daughter about twelve years [old], and she was dying. And in his going away, the multitudes were thronging him,
Nʼihi na otu nwata nwanyị ọ mụtara naanị ya, nke gbara afọ iri na abụọ nọ nʼọnụ ọnwụ. Mgbe ọ na-aga, igwe mmadụ ahụ na-akpagbu ya.
43 and a woman, having an issue of blood for twelve years, who, having spent on physicians all her living, was not able to be healed by any,
Ọ dị otu nwanyị nʼetiti ha nke nọrịị na-arịa ọrịa oruru ọbara afọ iri na abụọ, onye mefuru ihe niile o ji nʼaka ndị dibịa, ma ọ dịghị onye nwere ike ịgwọ ya.
44 having come near behind, touched the fringe of his garment, and presently the issue of her blood stood.
O sitere nʼazụ ya metụ ọnụ uwe ya aka. Ngwangwa, ọrịa oruru ọbara ahụ kwụsịkwara.
45 And Jesus said, 'Who [is] it that touched me?' and all denying, Peter and those with him said, 'Master, the multitudes press thee, and throng [thee], and thou dost say, Who [is] it that touched me!'
Jisọs sịrị, “Onye metụrụ m aka?” Mgbe ọ na-enweghị onye pụtara kwuo sị na ọ bụ ya. Pita gwara ya sị, “Nna anyị ukwu, igwe mmadụ gbara gị gburugburu na-adakwasịkwa gị.”
46 And Jesus said, 'Some one did touch me, for I knew power having gone forth from me.'
Ma Jisọs sịrị, “Otu onye metụrụ m aka; amatara m na ike esitela nʼime m pụọ.”
47 And the woman, having seen that she was not hid, trembling, came, and having fallen before him, for what cause she touched him declared to him before all the people, and how she was healed presently;
Mgbe nwanyị ahụ hụrụ na ọ dịkwaghị ihe o nwere ike ime iji zoo onwe ya, o ji ịma jijiji bịa daa nʼụkwụ ya. Nʼihu mmadụ niile, ọ kọrọ ihe mere o ji metụ ya aka na otu e sị gwọọ ya nʼotu ntabi anya.
48 and he said to her, 'Take courage, daughter, thy faith hath saved thee, be going on to peace.'
Ọ gwara ya sị, “Ada m nwanyị, okwukwe gị agwọọla gị. Laa nʼudo.”
49 While he is yet speaking, there doth come a certain one from the chief of the synagogue's [house], saying to him — 'Thy daughter hath died, harass not the Teacher;'
Mgbe ọ ka nọ na-ekwu okwu, otu onye si nʼụlọ Jairọs bụ onyeisi ụlọ ekpere, bịara sị, “Ada gị nwanyị anwụọla, enyekwala onye ozizi nsogbu ọzọ.”
50 and Jesus having heard, answered him, saying, 'Be not afraid, only believe, and she shall be saved.'
Ma mgbe Jisọs nụrụ ozi a, ọ zara ya sị, “Atụla egwu, naanị kwere, a ga-agwọkwa ya.”
51 And having come to the house, he suffered no one to go in, except Peter, and James, and John, and the father of the child, and the mother;
Mgbe o rutere nʼụlọ Jairọs, o kweghị ka onye ọbụla soro ya baa nʼime ụlọ ahụ ma ọ bụghị naanị Pita, Jọn, Jemis, nne na nna nwata ahụ.
52 and they were all weeping, and beating themselves for her, and he said, 'Weep not, she did not die, but doth sleep;
Nʼoge ahụ, ha niile nọ na-ebe akwa na-eru ụjụ maka nwata ahụ. Ọ sịrị ha, “Unu ebezila akwa, nʼihi na ọ nwụghị anwụ kama ọ nọ nʼụra.”
53 and they were deriding him, knowing that she did die;
Ha chịrị ya ọchị, nʼihi na ha matara na ọ nwụrụ anwụ.
54 and he having put all forth without, and having taken hold of her hand, called, saying, 'Child, arise;'
Ma o jidere ya nʼaka, sị, “Nwa m, bilie!”
55 and her spirit came back, and she arose presently, and he directed that there be given to her to eat;
Mmụọ ya lọghachiri, o bilitekwara mgbe ahụ. Ọ gwakwara ha ka ha chọọrọ ya nri ka o rie.
56 and her parents were amazed, but he charged them to say to no one what was come to pass.
Ihe a gbara ndị mụrụ ya gharịị ma ọ nyere ha iwu ka ha ghara ịkọrọ onye ọbụla ihe mere.
