Matiu 8
1 Ọtụtụ mmadụ sooro Jisọs mgbe o si nʼugwu ahụ rịdata.
And when he had descended from the mountain, great crowds followed him.
2 Mgbe ha na-aga nʼụzọ, otu onye ekpenta bịakwutere ya kpọọ isiala nye ya, rịọ ya sị, “Onyenwe m, ọ bụrụ na ị chọrọ, ị pụrụ ime ka m dị ọcha.”
And behold, a leper, drawing near, adored him, saying, “Lord, if you are willing, you are able to cleanse me.”
3 O setịpụrụ aka ya, metụ ya sị, “Achọrọ m ka ị dị ọcha, dịrịkwa ọcha!” Ngwangwa, ekpenta ahụ lara.
And Jesus, extending his hand, touched him, saying: “I am willing. Be cleansed.” And immediately his leprosy was cleansed.
4 Jisọs nyere nwoke ahụ iwu sị ya, “Hụ na ịgwaghị onye ọbụla, kama gaa gosi onye nchụaja onwe gị, chụọkwa aja onyinye dịka Mosis, nyere nʼiwu, ka ọ bụrụ ihe ama nye ya.”
And Jesus said to him: “See to it that you tell no one. But go, show yourself to the priest, and offer the gift that Moses instructed, as a testimony for them.”
5 Mgbe ọ banyere na Kapanọm, otu onye ọchịagha bịakwutere ya rịọọ ka o nyere ya aka.
And when he had entered into Capernaum, a centurion approached, petitioning him,
6 Ọ sịrị, “Onyenwe m, onye na-ejere m ozi dina nʼụlọ nʼoke ihe mgbu, akụkụ ahụ ya kpọnwụkwara akpọnwụ.”
and saying, “Lord, my servant lies at home paralyzed and badly tormented.”
7 Jisọs sịrị ya, “Ọ bụ m bịa gwọọ ya?”
And Jesus said to him, “I will come and heal him.”
8 Ma onye ọchịagha ahụ zara ya sị, “Onyenwe m, ekwesighị m ka ị bata nʼokpuru ụlọ m. Naanị nọdụ nʼebe a, kwuo okwu, ahụ ga-adịkwa onye na-ejere m ozi ike.
And responding, the centurion said: “Lord, I am not worthy that you should enter under my roof, but only say the word, and my servant shall be healed.
9 Nʼihi na mụ onwe m bụkwa onye nọ nʼokpuru ikike ọchịchị, nwee ndị agha nọ nʼokpuru m. Ana m asị onye nke a, ‘gaa.’ Ọ gaa, sịkwa onye nke ọzọ, ‘bịa.’ Ọ bịa. Ana m asị ohu m, ‘mee nke a.’ Ọ na-emekwa ya.”
For I, too, am a man placed under authority, having soldiers under me. And I say to one, ‘Go,’ and he goes, and to another, ‘Come,’ and he comes, and to my servant, ‘Do this,’ and he does it.”
10 Mgbe Jisọs nụrụ okwu a, o juru ya anya nke ukwuu. Ọ gwara igwe mmadụ ahụ so ya okwu sị, “Nʼezie, ahụbeghị m okwukwe dị otu a ebe ọbụla; ọ bụladị nʼIzrel niile.
And, hearing this, Jesus wondered. And he said to those following him: “Amen I say to you, I have not found so great a faith in Israel.
11 Nʼezie kwa, ọtụtụ ndị mmadụ ga-esite nʼọwụwa anyanwụ nakwa ọdịda anyanwụ bịa soro Ebraham na Aịzik na Jekọb nọkọọ nʼoriri nʼalaeze eluigwe.
For I say to you, that many shall come from the east and the west, and they shall sit at table with Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob in the kingdom of heaven.
12 Ma ụmụ alaeze ahụ, ka a ga-atụpụ nʼezi, nʼime ọchịchịrị, ebe ịkwa akwa na ịta ikikere eze ga-adị.”
But the sons of the kingdom shall be cast into the outer darkness, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.”
13 Jisọs gwara ọchịagha ahụ okwu sị ya, “Laa! E meerela gị dị ka okwukwe gị sịrị dị.” Ahụ dịrị onye ahụ na-ejere ya ozi mma nʼotu awa ahụ.
And Jesus said to the centurion, “Go, and just as you have believed, so let it be done for you.” And the servant was healed at that very hour.
14 Mgbe Jisọs ruru nʼụlọ Pita, ọ chọpụtara na nne nwunye ya nwere ahụ ọkụ.
And when Jesus had arrived at the house of Peter, he saw his mother-in-law lying ill with a fever.
15 Ọ metụrụ ya aka, ahụ ọkụ ahụ hapụrụ ya, o biliri malite ijere ya ozi.
And he touched her hand, and the fever left her, and she rose up and ministered to them.
16 Nʼoge uhuruchi, ha kpọtaara ya ọtụtụ ndị mmụọ ọjọọ na-esogbu. O ji okwu ọnụ chụpụ mmụọ ọjọọ ahụ niile, gwọọkwa ndị niile ahụ na-adịghị ike.
And when evening arrived, they brought to him many who had demons, and he cast out the spirits with a word. And he healed all those having maladies,
17 Nke a bụ imezu amụma ahụ Aịzaya buru sị, “O bupụrụ nrịa nrịa anyị niile, burukwa ọrịa anyị niile.”
in order to fulfill what was spoken through the prophet Isaiah, saying, “He took our infirmities, and he carried away our diseases.”
18 Mgbe Jisọs hụrụ igwe mmadụ dị ukwuu ndị gbara ya gburugburu, ọ nyere ndị na-eso ụzọ ya iwu ka ha gafee nʼofe nke ọzọ.
Then Jesus, seeing the great crowds encircling him, gave orders to go across the sea.
19 Nʼoge ahụ, otu onye nʼetiti ndị na-ezi iwu bịakwutere ya sị ya, “Onye nkuzi, aga m eso gị gaa ebe ọbụla ị na-aga.”
And one scribe, approaching, said to him, “Teacher, I will follow you wherever you will go.”
20 Jisọs zara, sị, “Nkịta ọhịa nwere ọnụ ebe ha na-edina. Ụmụ nnụnụ nke igwe nwekwara akwụ; ma Nwa nke Mmadụ enweghị ebe obibi.”
And Jesus said to him, “Foxes have dens, and the birds of the air have nests, but the Son of man has nowhere to rest his head.”
21 Otu onye ọzọ nʼime ndị na-eso ụzọ ya sịrị ya, “Onyenwe m, aga m eso gị, kama kwere ka m buru ụzọ gaa lie nna m.”
Then another of his disciples said to him, “Lord, permit me first to go and bury my father.”
22 Ma Jisọs zara sị ya, “Soro m ugbu a. Hapụ ndị nwụrụ anwụ ka ha lie ndị nwụrụ anwụ ibe ha.”
But Jesus said to him, “Follow me, and allow the dead to bury their dead.”
23 Mgbe ọ banyere nʼụgbọ, ndị na-eso ụzọ ya sooro ya.
And climbing into a boat, his disciples followed him.
24 Nʼotu ntabi anya, oke ifufe bidoro ife nʼọdọ mmiri ahụ, nke mere na ebili mmiri na-ekpuchi ụgbọ ahụ. Ma ọ nọ na-arahụ ụra mgbe ihe ndị a na-eme.
And behold, a great tempest occurred in the sea, so much so that the boat was covered with waves; yet truly, he was sleeping.
25 Ndị na-eso ụzọ ya jekwuuru ya, kpọtee ya, sị ya, “Onyenwe anyị, zọpụta anyị! Lee, na anyị nʼala nʼiyi.”
And his disciples drew near to him, and they awakened him, saying: “Lord, save us, we are perishing.”
26 Ma ọ zaghachiri, “Unu ndị okwukwe nta, gịnị mere ụjọ ji na-atụ unu?” Mgbe ahụ o biliri baara ifufe ahụ na ebili mmiri ahụ mba. Ha niile dajụrụ, deere jii.
And Jesus said to them, “Why are you afraid, O little in faith?” Then rising up, he commanded the winds, and the sea. And a great tranquility occurred.
27 O juru ndị na-eso ụzọ ya anya, mee ka ha jụọ ajụjụ sị, “Ọ bụ ụdị mmadụ dị aṅaa ka nwoke a bụ? Ọ bụladị ifufe na ebili mmiri na-eme ihe o kwuru.”
Moreover, the men wondered, saying: “What kind of man is this? For even the winds and the sea obey him.”
28 Mgbe o rutere nʼofe nke ọzọ nke obodo Gadarin, mmadụ abụọ ndị mmụọ ọjọọ si nʼebe a na-eli ozu zutere ya. Ha na-akpa ike nke ukwuu, na ọ dịkwaghị onye na-esite nʼụzọ ahụ agafe nʼihi ha.
And when he had arrived across the sea, into the region of the Gerasenes, he was met by two who had demons, who were so exceedingly savage, as they went out from among the tombs, that no one was able to cross by that way.
29 Ngwangwa, ha tiri mkpu bido na-ajụ ajụjụ sị, “Gịnị ka anyị na gị nwekọrọ, gị Ọkpara Chineke? Ị gaghị echekwa eche ka oge ruo tupu ibido ịta anyị ahụhụ?”
And behold, they cried out, saying: “What are we to you, O Jesus, the Son of God? Have you come here to torment us before the time?”
30 Igwe ezi nọ nʼakụkụ ebe ahụ na-akpa nri.
Now there was, not far from them, a herd of many swine feeding.
31 Mmụọ ọjọọ ndị a rịọrọ ya arịrịọ sị, “Ọ bụrụ na ị chụpụ anyị, biko, hapụ anyị ka anyị banye nʼime ezi ndị a.”
Then the demons petitioned him, saying: “If you cast us from here, send us into the herd of swine.”
32 Ọ nyere ha iwu sị ha, “Ngwa, gaanụ!” Ha sitere nʼime mmadụ abụọ ahụ pụta banye nʼime igwe ezi ahụ. Otu mgbe ahụ kwa, ezi ndị ahụ niile gbaara ọsọ site na mkputamkpu ala ọnụ mmiri ahụ dabanyechaa nʼime mmiri ahụ. Ha nwụkwara nʼime ya.
And he said to them, “Go.” And they, going out, went into the swine. And behold, the entire herd suddenly rushed along a steep place into the sea. And they died in the waters.
33 Ndị na-elekọta igwe ezi ndị ahụ gbapụrụ gbaga nʼime obodo kọọrọ ha ihe niile mere; tinyere ihe mere ndị ahụ mmụọ ọjọọ na-esogbu.
Then the shepherds fled, and arriving in the city, they reported on all this, and on those who had had the demons.
34 Ya mere ndị niile nọ nʼobodo ahụ pụtara ịhụ Jisọs. Mgbe ha hụrụ ya ha rịọrọ ya sị ya pụọra ha nʼakụkụ obodo ha.
And behold, the entire city went out to meet Jesus. And having seen him, they petitioned him, so that he would cross from their borders.
