Matthew 10
1 And having called to him his twelve disciples, he gave to them power over unclean spirits, so as to be casting them out, and to be healing every sickness, and every malady.
Jisọs kpọrọ ndị na-eso ụzọ ya iri na abụọ nye ha ikike ịchụpụ mmụọ na-adịghị ọcha, na ịgwọ nrịa nrịa na ọrịa niile dị iche iche.
2 And of the twelve apostles the names are these: first, Simon, who is called Peter, and Andrew his brother; James of Zebedee, and John his brother;
Nke a bụ aha ndị ozi iri na abụọ ahụ: Saimọn (onye a na-akpọkwa Pita) na Andru nwanne Saimọn; Jemis nwa Zebedi, na Jọn nwanne ya.
3 Philip, and Bartholomew; Thomas, and Matthew the tax-gatherer; James of Alpheus, and Lebbeus who was surnamed Thaddeus;
Filip na Batalomi; Tọmọs na Matiu onye ọna ụtụ; Jemis nwa Alfiọs, na Tadiọs.
4 Simon the Cananite, and Judas Iscariot, who did also deliver him up.
Saimọn onye a na-akpọ Zilọt na Judas Iskarịọt, onye raara ya nye nʼaka ndị gburu ya.
5 These twelve did Jesus send forth, having given command to them, saying, 'To the way of the nations go not away, and into a city of the Samaritans go not in,
Ndị ikom iri na abụọ ndị a ka Jisọs nyere ikike zipụ. Maara ha ọkwa sị ha: “Unu agala nʼebe ndị mba ọzọ, maọbụ nʼebe ndị Sameria nọ.
6 and be going rather unto the lost sheep of the house of Israel.
Kama jekwurunụ ụmụ Izrel, ndị bụ atụrụ furu efu.
7 'And, going on, proclaim saying that, the reign of the heavens hath come nigh;
Mgbe unu na-aga, na-ekwusaaranụ ha sị, ‘alaeze eluigwe a dịla nso.’
8 infirm ones be healing, lepers be cleansing, dead be raising, demons be casting out — freely ye did receive, freely give.
Gwọọnụ ndị ọrịa, kpọteenụ ndị nwụrụ anwụ, meenụ ka ahụ ndị ekpenta dị ọcha, chụpụkwanụ mmụọ ọjọọ. Nʼefu ka unu natara. Ya mere, nyenụ nʼefu.
9 'Provide not gold, nor silver, nor brass in your girdles,
“Mgbe unu na-aga, unu anatala ọlaọcha maọbụ ọlaedo, maọbụ ọla ọbụla tinye nʼime belịt unu.
10 nor scrip for the way, nor two coats, nor sandals, nor staff — for the workman is worthy of his nourishment.
Unu ejikwala akpa maka njem unu, maọbụ uwe abụọ, maọbụ akpụkpọụkwụ, maọbụ mkpanaka. Nʼihi na onye ọrụ kwesiri ihe e ji azụ ya.
11 'And into whatever city or village ye may enter, inquire ye who in it is worthy, and there abide, till ye may go forth.
Ma obodo ọbụla maọbụ ogbe ọbụla unu bara nʼime ya, chọọnụ ụfọdụ ndị kwesiri nsọpụrụ bi nʼobodo ahụ. Nọgidekwanụ nʼụlọ ha ruo mgbe unu ga-ahapụ obodo ahụ.
12 And coming to the house salute it,
Mgbe unu na-abanye nʼụlọ ahụ, keleenụ ndị bi na ya sị, udo dịrị unu.
13 and if indeed the house be worthy, let your peace come upon it; and if it be not worthy, let your peace turn back to you.
Ọ bụrụ na ndị nọ nʼụlọ ahụ anabata unu, meenụ ka udo unu bịakwasị nʼụlọ ahụ. Ọ bụrụkwanụ na ha anabataghị unu, ka udo unu lọghachikwute unu.
14 'And whoever may not receive you nor hear your words, coming forth from that house or city, shake off the dust of your feet,
Ọ bụrụ na onye ọbụla anabataghị unu, maọbụ jụ ịnụrụ okwu unu, mgbe unu na-ahapụ ụlọ ahụ maọbụ obodo ahụ kụchapụnụ aja dị nʼụkwụ unu.
15 verily I say to you, It shall be more tolerable for the land of Sodom and Gomorrah in the day of judgment than for that city.
Nʼeziokwu, ọ ga-adịrị obodo ahụ njọ nʼụbọchị ikpe karịa obodo Sọdọm na Gọmọra.
16 'Lo, I do send you forth as sheep in the midst of wolves, be ye therefore wise as the serpents, and simple as the doves.
“Ana m ezipu unu dị ka atụrụ nʼetiti agụ. Ya mere, nweenụ uche dịka agwọ. Burunu ndị a na-apụghị ịta ụta dịka nduru.
17 And, take ye heed of men, for they will give you up to sanhedrims, and in their synagogues they will scourge you,
Kpachapụnụ anya. Nʼihi na a ga-enyefe unu nʼaka nzukọ ndị ụlọ ikpe, pịaakwa unu ihe nʼụlọ ekpere ha.
18 and before governors and kings ye shall be brought for my sake, for a testimony to them and to the nations.
A ga-ekpe unu ikpe nʼihu ndị na-achị achị na nʼihu ndị eze nʼihi m. Ma nke a ga-enye unu ohere ịgwa ha ihe banyere m. E, nke a ga-enye unu ohere ịgba ama banyere m nye ndị mba ọzọ.
19 'And whenever they may deliver you up, be not anxious how or what ye may speak, for it shall be given you in that hour what ye shall speak;
Mgbe ha jidere unu na-ekpe unu ikpe, unu echegbula onwe unu banyere ihe unu ga-ekwu, maọbụ otu unu ga-esi kwuo ya. Nʼihi na a ga-eme ka unu mata ihe unu ga-ekwu nʼoge ahụ.
20 for ye are not the speakers, but the Spirit of your Father that is speaking in you.
Nʼihi na ọ bụghị unu ga-ekwu nʼonwe unu. Kama Mmụọ nke Nna unu bi nʼeluigwe ga-esite nʼọnụ unu kwuo okwu.
21 'And brother shall deliver up brother to death, and father child, and children shall rise up against parents, and shall put them to death,
“Nwanne ga-arara nwanne ya nye ka e gbuo ya, nna ga-ararakwa nwa ya nye. Ụmụ ga-ebili megide ndị mụrụ ha mee ka e gbuo ha.
22 and ye shall be hated by all because of my name, but he who hath endured to the end, he shall be saved.
Mmadụ niile ga-akpọ unu asị nʼihi m. Ma onye ga-eguzosi ike ruo ọgwụgwụ ka a ga-azọpụta.
23 'And whenever they may persecute you in this city, flee to the other, for verily I say to you, ye may not have completed the cities of Israel till the Son of Man may come.
Mgbe ọbụla ndị mmadụ sogburu unu nʼotu obodo gbalaganụ nʼobodo ọzọ. Nʼezie, asị m unu, unu agaghị agazucha obodo niile nke Izrel tupu Nwa nke Mmadụ alọghachi.
24 'A disciple is not above the teacher, nor a servant above his lord;
“Nwata akwụkwọ adịghị akarị onye nkuzi ya. Ohu adịghị akarịkwa nna ya ukwu.
25 sufficient to the disciple that he may be as his teacher, and the servant as his lord; if the master of the house they did call Beelzeboul, how much more those of his household?
O zuorela onye na-eso ụzọ onye nkuzi ka ọ dị ka onye nkuzi ya, na ohu ahụ ka ọ dị ka onyenwe ya. Ọ bụrụ na a kpọrọ nna nwe ụlọ Belzebub, a ga-esi aṅaa ghara ịkpọ ndị ezinaụlọ ya ihe karịrị nke a?
26 'Ye may not, therefore, fear them, for there is nothing covered, that shall not be revealed, and hid, that shall not be known;
“Ya mere unu atụla ha egwu. O nweghị ihe ọbụla e kpuchiri ekpuchi nke a na-agaghị ekpughe, maọbụ ihe e zoro ezo nke a na-agaghị eme ka ọ pụta ìhè.
27 that which I tell you in the darkness, speak in the light, and that which you hear at the ear, proclaim on the house-tops.
Ihe m na-agwa unu ugbu a na nzuzo, kọsaanụ ya mgbe chi bọrọ. Ihe m ji nwayọọ mee ka ọ baa unu na ntị, nọdụnụ nʼelu ụlọ kwusaa ya.
28 'And be not afraid of those killing the body, and are not able to kill the soul, but fear rather Him who is able both soul and body to destroy in gehenna. (Geenna g1067)
Unu atụla egwu ndị pụrụ igbu naanị anụ ahụ unu, ma ha enweghị ike ịmetụ mkpụrụobi unu aka. Kama onye unu ga-atụ egwu bụ Onye ahụ nwere ike imebi anụ ahụ unu na mkpụrụobi, tụbakwa ha nʼọkụ ala mmụọ. (Geenna g1067)
29 'Are not two sparrows sold for an assar? and one of them shall not fall on the ground without your Father;
Ọ bụghị otu kobo ka a na-ere ụmụ nza abụọ? Ma otu nʼime ha agaghị ada nʼala ma ọ bụrụ na Nna unu bi nʼeluigwe amaghị.
30 and of you — even the hairs of the head are all numbered;
Ọ bụladị agịrị isi dị nʼisi unu ka a maara ọnụọgụgụ ha.
31 be not therefore afraid, than many sparrows ye are better.
Ya mere, unu atụla egwu. Unu dị oke ọnụ karịa ọtụtụ ụmụ nza.
32 'Every one, therefore, who shall confess in me before men, I also will confess in him before my Father who is in the heavens;
“Ya mere, onye ọbụla kwupụtara m nʼihu ụmụ mmadụ, ka mụ onwe m ga-ekwupụta nʼihu Nna m bi nʼeluigwe.
33 and whoever shall deny me before men, I also will deny him before my Father who is in the heavens.
Ma onye ọbụla na-agọnarị m nʼihu ndị mmadụ, mụ onwe m ga-agọnarịkwa ya nʼihu Nna m bi nʼeluigwe.
34 'Ye may not suppose that I came to put peace on the earth; I did not come to put peace, but a sword;
“Unu echekwala na m bịara iweta udo nʼụwa. Abịaghị m iweta udo, kama ọ bụ iwebata mma agha.
35 for I came to set a man at variance against his father, and a daughter against her mother, and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law,
Abịara m ime, “‘Ka nwoke megide nna ya, ka nwa nwanyị megide nne ya, ka nwunye nwa megide nne di ya,
36 and the enemies of a man are those of his household.
ndị iro mmadụ ga-abụ ndị ezinaụlọ ya.’
37 'He who is loving father or mother above me, is not worthy of me, and he who is loving son or daughter above me, is not worthy of me,
“Ọ bụrụ na ị hụrụ nne gị maọbụ nna gị nʼanya karịa m, i kwesighị ịbụ onye nke m. Ọ bụrụ na ị hụrụ nwa gị nwoke, maọbụ nwa gị nwanyị nʼanya karịa m, i kwesighị ịbụ onye nke m.
38 and whoever doth not receive his cross and follow after me, is not worthy of me.
Onye ọbụla na-eburughị obe ya soro m, ekwesighị ị bụ onye nke m.
39 'He who found his life shall lose it, and he who lost his life for my sake shall find it.
Onye ọbụla chọtara ndụ ya ga-etufu ya, ma onye ọbụla tufuru ndụ ya maka m, ga-achọtakwa ya.
40 'He who is receiving you doth receive me, and he who is receiving me doth receive Him who sent me,
“Ndị niile nabatara unu na-anabata m. Mgbe ha nabatara m, ọ bụkwa Onye ahụ zitere m ka ha na-anabata.
41 he who is receiving a prophet in the name of a prophet, shall receive a prophet's reward, and he who is receiving a righteous man in the name of a righteous man, shall receive a righteous man's reward,
Ọ bụrụ na unu anabata onye amụma nʼihi na ọ bụ onye amụma, unu na onye amụma ahụ ga-enwekọ otu ụgwọ ọrụ. Ọ bụrụkwa na unu anabata onye ezi omume nʼihi ezi omume ya, unu ga-esorokwa ya nata ụgwọ ọrụ nke onye ezi omume.
42 and whoever may give to drink to one of these little ones a cup of cold water only in the name of a disciple, verily I say to you, he may not lose his reward.'
Ọ bụrụ na onye ọbụla ekunye otu nʼime ndị a na-eso ụzọ m mmiri oyi ka ọ ṅụọ, nʼihi na ọ bụ onye na-eso ụzọ m, nʼezie, asị m unu, ọ ghaghị ịnata ụgwọ ọrụ ya.”
