Luke 7
1 Tukun Jesus el fahk kas inge nukewa nu sin mwet uh, el som nu Capernaum.
After He had finished teaching all these things in the hearing of the people, He went into Capernaum.
2 Oasr sie leum lun mwet mweun Rome muta we, ac oasr yorol sie mwet kulansap su el arulana lungse yohk, ac mwet sac mas apkuranna in misa.
Here the servant of a certain Captain, a man dear to his master, was ill and at the point of death;
3 Ke leum sac lohng kacl Jesus, el supwala kutu sin un mwet matu lun mwet Jew in som solalma elan tuku ac akkeyala mwet kulansap se lal ah.
and the Captain, hearing about Jesus, sent to Him some of the Jewish Elders, begging Him to come and restore his servant to health.
4 Elos tuku nu yurin Jesus ac arulana kwafe sel ac fahk, “Mwet se inge arulana fal kom in kasrel.
And they, when they came to Jesus, earnestly entreated Him, pleading, "He deserves to have this favour granted him,
5 El arulana lungse mwet in mutunfacl sesr, ac el sifacna musaela iwen lolngok se sesr.”
for he loves our nation, and at his own expense he built our synagogue for us."
6 Ouinge Jesus el welulos som. Ke el apkuranyang nu ke lohm sac mwet leum sac supwala kutu sin mwet kawuk lal in som fahk nu sel, “Leum, nimet akelyaye kom. Nga kupansuwol kom in utyak nu in lohm sik uh,
Then Jesus went with them. But when He was not far from the house, the Captain sent friends to Him with the message: "Sir, do not trouble to come. I am not worthy of having you come under my roof;
7 ac nga tia pac fal in sifacna fahsrot nu yurum. Tari, kom fahklana ke kas lom, ac mwet kulansap se luk inge fah kwela.
and therefore I did not deem myself worthy to come to you. Only speak the word, and let my young man be cured.
8 Nga wi pac muta ye ku lun mwet leum, ac oasr pac mwet mweun muta ye kolyuk luk. Nga ku in fahk nu sin sie, ‘Fahla!’ ac el ac fahla. Ac nu sin sie pac, ‘Fahsru!’ na el ac fahsru. Ac nga ac sap nu sin mwet kulansap luk, ‘Orala ma se inge!’ na el oru.”
For I too am a man obedient to authority, and have soldiers under me; and I say to one, 'Go,' and he goes; to another, 'Come,' and he comes; and to my slave, 'Do this or that,' and he does it."
9 Jesus el lut ke el lohng ma inge, na el forla ac fahk nu sin u lulap se ma fahsr tokol, “Nga fahk nu suwos, nga soenna liye lupan lulalfongi ouinge meet, finne in Israel!”
Jesus listened to the Captain's message and was astonished at him, and He turned and said to the crowd that followed Him, "I tell you that not even in Israel have I found faith like that."
10 Mwet utuk kas uh folokla nu in lohm sin leum sac, ac konauk lah mwet kulansap sac kwela.
And the friends who had been sent, on returning to the house, found the servant in perfect health.
11 Tia paht tukun ma inge, Jesus el som nu in sie siti pangpang Nain, ac mwet tumal lutlut, oayapa sie u lulap, elos welul.
Shortly afterwards He went to a town called Nain, attended by His disciples and a great crowd of people.
12 In pacl se na ma el sun mutunpot nu in siti uh, pukmas se akola in orek, ac mwet uh oatui ke mutunpot uh. Mwet se ma misa uh el wen sefanna nutin katinmas se, ac sie un mwet na pus elos wi katinmas sac tufoki.
And just as He reached the gate of the town, they happened to be bringing out for burial a dead man who was his mother's only son; and she was a widow; and a great number of the townspeople were with her.
13 Ke Leum el liyal, el arulana pakomutal, ac el fahk nu sel, “Nimet tung.”
The Lord saw her, was moved with pity for her, and said to her, "Do not weep."
14 Na el fahsryang ac kahlye box in mas sac, ac mwet ma us uh elos tui. Jesus el fahk, “Wen se! Nga fahk nu sum, tukakek!”
Then He went close and touched the bier, and the bearers halted. "Young man," He said, "I command you, wake!"
15 Na mwet misa sac tukakek ac el mutawauk in kaskas, ac Jesus el eisalang nu sin nina kial ah.
The dead man sat up and began to speak; and He restored him to his mother.
16 Elos nukewa arulana sangeng, ac elos kaksakin God ac fahk, “Sie mwet palu fulat sikyak inmasrlosr! God El tuku in molela mwet lal!”
All were awe-struck, and they gave glory to God--some saying, "A Prophet, a great Prophet, has risen up among us." Others said, "God has not forgotten His People."
17 Pweng kacl Jesus inge fahsrelik nu in facl Judea nufon, ac oayapa ke acn nukewa apunla.
And the report of what Jesus had done spread through the whole of Judaea and in all the surrounding districts.
18 Ke mwet tumal lutlut lal John elos fahkak ma inge nu sel, el pangonma luo selos
John's disciples brought him an account of all these things;
19 ac supwaltalla nu yurin Leum in siyuk sel, “Ya kom pa el su ac fah tuku, ku kut ac soano sie pacna?”
so John called two of his disciples and sent them to the Lord. "Are you the Coming One?" he asked, "or is there another that we are to expect?"
20 Ke eltal tuku nu yurin Jesus, eltal fahk, “John Baptais el supwekut in tuh siyuk lah kom pa el su ac fah tuku, ku kut ac soano sie pacna?”
The men came to Jesus and said, "John the Baptist has sent us to you with this question: 'Are you the Coming One, or is there another that we are to expect?'"
21 In pacl sacna pus tari mwet ma Jesus el akkeyala liki kain in mas puspis lalos, sisla ngun fohkfok in elos, ac sang liyaten nu sin mwet kun.
He immediately cured many of diseases, severe pain, and evil spirits, and to many who were blind He gave the gift of sight.
22 El topuk mwet utuk kas lal John ac fahk, “Folokla nu yorol John ac fahk nu sel ma komtal liye ac lohng: mwet kun elos ku in liye, mwet ul elos ku in fahsr, ac mwet musen lepa elos nasnasla, mwet sulohngkas elos ku in lohng, mwet misa elos akmoulyeyukyak, ac Pweng Wo uh lutiyuk nu sin mwet sukasrup.
Then He answered the messengers, "Go and report to John what you have seen and heard. Blind men receive sight, the lame walk, lepers are purified, deaf persons hear, the dead are raised to life, the poor have the Good News proclaimed to them.
23 Fuka lupan insewowo lalos su tia alolo keik!”
And blessed is every one who does not stumble and fall because of my claims."
24 Tukun mwet lal John folokla, Jesus el mutawauk in sramsram kacl John nu sin u lulap sac, ac fahk, “Ke kowos tuh som nu yorol John nu yen mwesis ah, mea kowos tuh finsrak mu kowos ac tuh liye? Ya soko ah ma kusrusrsrusr ke eng uh?
When John's messengers were gone, He proceeded to say to the multitude concerning John, "What did you go out into the Desert to gaze at? A reed waving in the wind?
25 Mea kowos som in liye ah? Ya sie mwet su yunla ke nuknuk kato? Mwet ma nukum nuknuk kato, ac pukanten pac mwe kasrup lalos, elos muta inkul fulat sin tokosra uh.
But what did you go out to see? A man wearing luxurious clothes? People who are gorgeously dressed and live in luxury are found in palaces.
26 Fahkma nu sik, mea kowos som in liye uh — ya sie mwet palu? Aok pwaye, tusruktu nga fahk nu suwos, el su kowos liye ah fulat liki na sie mwet palu.
But what did you go out to see? A Prophet? Aye, I tell you, and far more than a Prophet.
27 Mweyen John pa mwet se Ma Simusla uh fahk kacl mu: ‘Nga ac supwaot mwet in sulkakin se luk meet liki kom, in tuh sakunla inkanek lom uh.’”
John is the man about whom it is written, 'See, I am sending My messenger before thy face, and he shall make ready thy way before thee.'
28 Ac Jesus el sifilpa fahk, “John el fulat liki kutena mwet su moul oemeet me. Tusruktu el su pusisel oemeet in Tokosrai lun God uh el fulat lukel John.”
"I tell you that among all of women born there is not one greater than John. Yet one who is of lower rank in the Kingdom of God is greater than he.
29 Mwet nukewa, oayapa mwet eisani tax uh, elos lohng ma inge ac akilen suwoswos lun God ke sripen elos baptaisla sel John.
And all the people, including the tax-gatherers, when they listened to him upheld the righteousness of God, by being baptized with John's baptism.
30 Tusruktu mwet Pharisee ac mwet luti Ma Sap elos pilesru oakwuk lun God nu selos, ac tiana lungse baptaisla sel John.
But the Pharisees and expounders of the Law have frustrated God's purpose as to their own lives, by refusing to be baptized.
31 Ac Jesus el sifilpa fahk, “Inge, mea nga ac ku in luma mwet in pacl inge uh nu kac uh? Elos oana mea?
"To what then shall I compare the men of the present generation, and what do they resemble?
32 Elos oana tulik srisrik su muta ke nien kuka. Sie un tulik uh wowo nu sin sie pac u ac fahk, ‘Kut nikaruru nu sumtal, a komtal tiana srosro nu kac! Kut yuk on in asor, a komtal tiana tung!’
They are like children sitting in the public square and calling out to one another, 'We have played the flute to you, and you have not danced: we have sung dirges, and you have not shown sorrow.'
33 Ke John Baptais el tuh tuku, el lalo ac tia nim wain, ac kowos fahk, ‘Oasr ngun fohkfok in el!’
For John the Baptist has come eating no bread and drinking no wine, and you say, 'He has a demon!'
34 Wen nutin Mwet el tuku, ac el mongo ac nim, ac kowos fahk, ‘Liye mwet se inge! El kainmongo ac lungse na nim mwe sruhi, ac el kawuk nu sin mwet eisani tax ac mwet koluk pac saya!’
The Son of Man has come eating and drinking, and you say, 'Look, there is a man who is overfond of eating and drinking--he is a friend of tax-gatherers and notorious sinners!'
35 Tusruktu lalmwetmet lun God uh akkalemyeyuk in moul lun mwet nukewa su moulkin.”
But wisdom is justified by all who are truly wise."
36 Sie mwet Pharisee solal Jesus elan welul mongo in eku, na Jesus el som nu lohm sel ac pituki in mongo.
Now one of the Pharisees repeatedly invited Him to a meal at his house; so He entered the house and reclined at the table.
37 Oasr sie mutan in siti sac su moul lal uh tiana wo. El lohngak lah Jesus el mongo oasr in lohm sin mwet Pharisee sac, na el use sufa soko ma orekla ke eot alabaster ac nwanala ke ono keng.
And there was a woman in the town who was a notorious sinner. Having learnt that Jesus was at table in the Pharisee's house she brought a flask of perfume,
38 Na el tu sisken nial Jesus ac tung, ac el mutawauk in aksroksrokye nial ke sroninmutal. Na el eela nien Jesus ke aunsifal, ngokya nial, ac mosrwela ke ono keng sac.
and, standing behind close to His feet, weeping, began to wet His feet with her tears; and with her hair she wiped the tears away again, while she lovingly kissed His feet and poured the perfume over them.
39 Ke mwet Pharisee sac liye, el nunku sel sifacna, “Fin mwet palu na pwaye se pa inge, el ac etu lah su mutan se kahlul inge, oayapa ouiyen moul lal lah el sie mutan koluk.”
Noticing this, the Pharisee, His host, said to himself, "This man, if he were really a Prophet, would know who and what sort of person this woman is who is touching him--and would know that she is an immoral woman."
40 Jesus el kasla ac fahk nu sel, “Simon, oasr ma nga lungse fahk nu sum.” Na Simon el fahk, “Kwal, Mwet Luti, fahkma.”
In answer to his thoughts Jesus said to him, "Simon, I have a word to say to you." "Rabbi, say on," he replied.
41 Na el Jesus el fahk, “Oasr mwet luo soemoul nu sin sie mwet liyaung mani. Sie seltal soemoul ke ipin silver lumfoko, ac ma se ngia ipin silver lumngaul.
"There were once two men in debt to one money-lender," said Jesus; "one owed him five hundred shillings and the other fifty.
42 Kewana mwet luo ah tia ku in akfalye ma el soemoul kac, na mwet liyaung mani sac el tari sisla soemoul laltal ah kewa. Ke ouinge, su kac seltal ac lungse mukul sac yohk uh?”
But neither of them could pay anything; so he freely forgave them both. Tell me, then, which of them will love him most?"
43 Na Simon el fahk, “Nga nunku mu ac el su yohk soemoul la.” Na Jesus el fahk, “Fal fahk lom an.”
"I suppose," replied Simon, "the one to whom he forgave most." "You have judged rightly," Jesus rejoined.
44 Na el ngetang nu sin mutan sac ac fahk nu sel Simon, “Kom liye mutan se inge? Nga utyak nu in lohm sum ac wangin kof kom ase in ohlla niuk, a mutan se inge el ohlla niuk ke sroninmutal ac akpaoyela ke aunsifal.
Then turning towards the woman He said to Simon, "Do you see this woman? I came into your house: you gave me no water for my feet; but she has made my feet wet with her tears, and then wiped the tears away with her hair.
45 Kom tia pac paingyu ke angokmwet, a mutan se inge el tia tui in ngok niuk oe ke nga utyak ah me.
No kiss did you give me; but she from the moment I came in has not left off tenderly kissing my feet.
46 Kom tia mosrwela sifuk ke oil in olive, a mutan se inge el mosrwela nufon niuk ke ono keng.
No oil did you pour even on my head; but she has poured perfume upon my feet.
47 Pwayena nga fahk nu sum, lungse yohk su el akkalemye inge akpwayei lah ma koluk puspis lal nunak munas nu sel tari. Tusruktu el su eis nunak munas ke ma srik, lungse lal uh ac srik pac.”
This is the reason why I tell you that her sins, her many sins, are forgiven--because she has loved much; but he who is forgiven little, loves little."
48 Na Jesus el fahk nu sin mutan sac, “Ma koluk lom nunak munas nu sum.”
And He said to her, "Your sins are forgiven."
49 Mwet saya ma wi muta ke tepu sac sifacna nunku insialos, “Su mwet se inge, ku elan nunak munas ke ma koluk uh?”
Then the other guests began to say to themselves, "Who can this man be who even forgives sins?"
50 A Jesus el fahk nu sin mutan sac, “Lulalfongi lom molikomla. Som in misla.”
But He said to the woman, "Your faith has cured you: go, and be at peace."
