Luka 7
1 Kubi na Yesu nmala ubellu nimon natuf nanite, a pira Ukafarnahum.
When he'd finished speaking to the people, Jesus left for Capernaum.
2 Kucin nmong unit udia, na awadi nin nkanu acina ukuu, Cikilari wa di nin su mye.
A centurion lived there who had a servant he greatly valued who was sick and was about to die.
3 Bara na alanza ubellen Yesu, unit udia une to akukune na Yahudawa idi yicila ghe adak ada tucu kucin kone bara awa kuu.
When he heard about Jesus, the centurion sent some Jewish elders to him, asking him to come and heal his servant.
4 Kubi na ida kupoo Yesu inung tiringhe iworo, “Ucaun isughe nani,
When the elders came to Jesus, they pleaded with him strongly, saying, “Please come and do what he asks. He deserves your help,
5 Bara adinin su nanit bite, amere na ke nari kutyin nliran kone.”
because he loves our people and he built a synagogue for us.”
6 Bara nani Yesu leo ubun nanghinu kubi na awadii piit nin kilare unit udia une to adondon mye iworoghe, “Cikilara na uwa ti litife kudira ba, na meng batin uda piru nanya kilari nig ba.
Jesus went with them and as they approached the house, the centurion sent some friends to Jesus to tell him, “Lord, please don't trouble yourself by coming into my house, because I'm not worthy of that.
7 Bara nanere na nyene liti nighe nbatin ndak kitife ba, belle ligbulang kucin nighe ba shinu.
I didn't even think that I was worthy to come and see you. Just give the command, and my servant will be healed.
8 Bara meng wang unitari na idinin tigo, ndinin nasojja, asa nworo ulle, 'Cang,' asa anya andi nworo umong, 'Da,' asa ada, ame kucin nighe su nenge asa asu.”
For I'm under the authority of my superior officers, and I have soldiers under my authority too. I command one to go and he goes, another to come and he comes. I command my servant to do something and he does it.”
9 Kubi na Yesu nlanza nani akiffo unu, a gitirino kiti ligozi na idin dortu ghe, “Meng bellin munu, vat nanyan Israila na nse umon nin nimusin nle uyinu sa uyenu ba.”
When Jesus heard this he was astounded. He turned to the crowd that was following him, and said, “I tell you, I haven't found trust like this even in Israel.”
10 Inung alenge na to nani, kpilla udu kilari idi se kucine nshino.
Then the centurion's friends returned to the house and found the servant in good health.
11 Nin nkon kubi, uso na Yesu wadi ncinu udu kipin na idin yicu unayin, adon katwa mye wadin ncinu nanghe, ligowe nin ligozi nanit gbardang.
Soon after Jesus went to a town called Nain, accompanied by his disciples and a large crowd.
12 Na ada kupo kipine kidia we, iwa min umong unit na akuu, amere gone cas kitin nene, ame wand ules mye na kuu, ligozi gbardang nanya kipine wa di nanghe.
As he approached the town gate a funeral procession was coming the other way. The man who had died was the only son of a widow, and a sizeable crowd from the town was with her.
13 Na ayeneghe, Cikilari lanza nkunekune mye kang, “Na uwa sillu ba.”
When the Lord saw her he was filled with compassion for her. “Don't cry,” he told her.
14 A da ubun mine adudo akwatu libe, itunna iyisina a woro, “Kwanya, nbellin fe, fita.”
Jesus went over to the coffin and touched it, and the pall-bearers stopped. Jesus said, “Young man, I tell you, get up.”
15 Atina a fita a so acizina uliru, Yesu yiraghe ana unene.
The dead man sat up and began to talk, and Jesus gave him back to his mother.
16 Feu tina fi da nani vat. Itina nzazinu Kutelle iworo, “Unan nliru nin nnu Kutelle udia nnuzu nanya bite” nin “Kutelle din yenju anit mye.”
A sense of awe filled everyone there and they praised God, saying, “A great prophet has arisen among us,” and “God has visited his people.”
17 Uleli uliru kitene Yesu malla kiti nanya vat Yahudiya nin nigbir kupowe.
News about Jesus spread throughout Judea, and all around.
18 Adon katuwa Yohanna bellinghe vat nile imone.
The disciples of John told John about all this.
19 Yohanna yicila adon katuwa mye an waba, a ti nani udu kiti Cikilari i woro, “Fere unan dak ule, sa umon ghari ule na tiba so nca mye?”
John called two of his disciples and told them to go and see Jesus, and ask, “Are you the one we've been expecting, or should we wait for someone else?”
20 Kubi na ida kupon Yesu, anite woro, “Yohanna unan shintizinu nanit nmyen nto nari kilifi ti woro fi, 'Fere unan Dak Ule, sa umon duku na tibo soon nca mye?'”
When they came to Jesus, they said, “John the Baptist sent us to you, to ask you, ‘Are you the one we've been expecting or should we wait for someone else?’”
21 Nkoni kube anit gbardang wa shinn nin tikonu mine nin nniu na nan nruhu unanzang, ata anit gbardang aduu yenje kiti.
At that very moment Jesus was healing many people of their diseases, illnesses, evil spirits, and making the blind to see.
22 Yesu kauwa a woro nani, “Asa ikpilla, bellen Yohanna ku ile imon na iyene inani lanza. Anit aduu di nyenju kiti, a gurgu din cinu, akuturu din nshizhinu, aturi din lanzu, idin fizu anan kul udu ulai, akimon din lanzu uliru nlai.
Jesus answered John's disciples, “Go and tell John what you've seen and heard. The blind see, the lame walk, the lepers cured, the deaf hear, the dead raised back to life, the poor are told the good news.
23 Unit ulenge na asuna uyinnu nin bara imon ile na ndi su ba, ame unan nmariari.”
How good it is for those who are not offended because of me!”
24 Kubi na anan kaduran Yohanna nkpilla, Yesu cizina ubellu ligoze nanite kitene Yohanna, “Iyaghari iwa do nanya kusho ndi yene amon ale na ufunu din pilluwa?
After the messengers from John had left, Jesus began telling the crowd, “About John: what did you expect to see when you went out to meet him in the desert? Some reed blown about by the wind?
25 Bara nani iyaghari iwa nuzu ndi yene, unit unan kuyok kucine? Yene anit alenge na idinsu kuyok kucine inani sosin nanya nlanzun mang, idi kilari tigo wari.
Did you come looking for a man dressed in fine clothes? No, those who have stylish clothes and live in luxury are found in palaces.
26 Bara nani Iyaghari i wa nuzu udas idi yene, una nliru nin nnu Kutelle? Nanere, mong bellin munu, ame katin unan nliru nin nnu Kutelle.
Were you looking for a prophet? Yes he is, and I'm telling you, he's much more than a prophet.
27 Amore ulenge na ina nyertin litime, 'Yene meng nto unan kadura nighe nbun fe, ulenge na aba kelu libau kamin fe.'
It was written about him in Scripture: ‘Look, I'm sending my messenger to go before you to prepare your way.’
28 Meng nbellin munu nanya nale na awani na macu nani, na umon katin Yohanna ku ba, nin nani tigo Kutelle akatinghe.”
I tell you, no one born of women is greater than John, but even the most unimportant person in God's kingdom is greater than he is!”
29 Kubi na vat nanite nlanza nani, umunu anan sesun ngandu, itambata Kutelle unit ulau wari, iwadi nanya nalenge na iwae ushintinu Yohanna.
When they heard this, all of them—even the tax collectors—followed what God said was good and right, for they had been baptized by John.
30 Bara nani, Afarisiyawa nin na nan nyiru nanyan nduka na Yahudawa, alenge na awa shintin nani, iwa nari njinjin Kutelle bara atimine.
But the Pharisees and the religious teachers rejected what God wanted them to do, for they had refused to be baptized by John.
31 Nin nyanghari mba gwadu anit nko kuje muna? Idi nafo iyaghari?
“What shall I compare these people to?” asked Jesus. “What are they like?
32 Idi nafo nono na idi navu nanya nkassa, alenge na isa iso iyica atimine iwroro, 'Tidin npee nishirau bara anughe, na anug nsu ikarma ba, tisu tiyom ana anung nsu kuculu ba.'
They're like children sitting in the market who tell one other, ‘We played the flute for you but you didn't dance; we sang sad songs but you didn't cry.’
33 Bara na Yohanna wa dak na asu kilecu sa usonu ba, anung woro, 'Ame kugbergenu ri.'
When John the Baptist came he didn't eat bread or drink wine, but you say he's demon-possessed.
34 Gono nnit daa adin nlii, aso anug woro, 'Yene, ame unan kileou nin nso udondon na nan sesun ngandu nin nanan kulapi!'
Now the Son of man is here, and eats and drinks with people, but you say, ‘Look, he spends his time eating too much food and drinking too much wine. Plus he's a friend of tax collectors and sinners.’
35 Bara nani njinjin nsu utucu nvat nnono mye.”
However, God's wise ways are proved right by all who follow him!”
36 Nene nkon ku Farisiyawa waddi likura au Yesu lii imonli ninghe. Bara kubi na Yesu npira kilari ku Yahudawe, ikilino kutebul isu kileou.
One of the Pharisees invited Jesus to come and eat with him. Jesus went to the Pharisee's house and sat down to the meal.
37 Nani umon uwani wa duku nanya kagbire unan kulapi, ayinno nworu Yesu din nli nimon li kilari Kufarisiyawa, ada nin nmon nnut albasta.
A woman who was a sinner in that town found out that Jesus was eating in the Pharisee's house. She went there, carrying an alabaster jar of perfume.
38 A da yisina nbun mye, kupo na bunu mye a gilla. Imizine tantizo nabune, atina nweze nin titi liti mye, ngbindirizinu nabunu, nlolizu nanin nin nufe.
She kneeled beside Jesus and with her tears wet his feet, and dried them with her hair. She kissed his feet, and then she poured the perfume over them.
39 Kube na Afarisiyawe alenge na iyicila Yesu ku, Iyene nani a kpiliza nanya kibinai mye aworo, “Ndah unit ule unan nliru nin nnu Kutelleri, awa yinnu imusi nwani ule na adin duduzughe ame unan kulapiari.”
When the Pharisee who had invited Jesus saw this he said to himself, “If this man was really a prophet he would know who this woman was who's touching him, and what kind of person she was—that she's a sinner!”
40 Yesu kauwa a woroghe, “Simon, ndinin nimon ile na mba bellinfi.” A woro, “Belle unan yiru!”
Jesus spoke up and said, “Simon, I have something to tell you.” “Tell me, Teacher,” he responded.
41 Yesu woroghe, “Amon wa duku an waba iwa seru ure kiti nnan nizu nre, warum wa sere tidinari akat ataun, ulele tidinari akut ataun.
“Once two people were in debt to a money-lender. One owed five hundred denarii, the other only fifty.
42 Na iwa dinin nikurfin nbiuwe ba, a woro nani na iwa biya ba. Bara uyemeari nanya mine ba katinu nin su mye?”
Neither of them could repay him, so he forgave the debts. Which one will love him the most?”
43 Simon kauwa ghe aworo, “Ndi yenju ulenge na adin dortu ghe ikurfun idia.” Yesu woroghe, “Fe uwusu kidegen dert.”
“The one he forgave the most, I would think,” Simon answered. “You're absolutely right,” said Jesus.
44 Yesu gitirno kiti nwane a woro Simon ku, “uyene uwani ule npira kilari fe, na unayi nmyen nkusu nabunu, ame nin nmizin a kikkai abunu, amini nwese nin titi mye.
Turning to the woman, he said to Simon, “You see this woman? When I came into your house, you didn't give me water to wash my feet. But she has washed my feet with her tears, and wiped them with her hair.
45 Na fe ngbindiri ba, amere, unuzu kube na ndah nanye, na asuna ugbindiri zinu nabunu nigbe ba.
You didn't give me a kiss, but since I came in she hasn't stopped kissing my feet.
46 Na uwolo abunu nighe nin nuf ba ame nwolo abunu nighe nin nnuf.
You didn't anoint my head with oil, but she poured perfume over my feet.
47 Bara ile imon na asu, nworo fi ame ulenge na adinin nalapi inani nyapa ghe, ata usu gbardang, bara ulenge na iyapa ghe cinglin, ame nta usu cingling.”
So I tell you, her many sins have been forgiven—that's why she loves so much. But whoever is forgiven little, only loves a little.”
48 Atuna aworoghe, “Iyapa alapi fe.”
Then Jesus said to the woman, “Your sins have been forgiven.”
49 Alenge na idi kileowe ligowe woro nati mine, “Ghari ule na awasa ayapa kulapi?”
Those who were sitting eating with him began talking among themselves, saying, “Who is this who even forgives sins?”
50 Nani Yesu woro nwani une, “Uyinnu fe sa uyene nsu utucufe caan sheuwu.”
But Jesus told the woman, “Your trust has saved you, go in peace.”
