Luka 7
1 Kubi na Yesu nmala ubellu nimon natuf nanite, a pira Ukafarnahum.
After He had finished teaching all these things in the hearing of the people, He went into Capernaum.
2 Kucin nmong unit udia, na awadi nin nkanu acina ukuu, Cikilari wa di nin su mye.
Here the servant of a certain Captain, a man dear to his master, was ill and at the point of death;
3 Bara na alanza ubellen Yesu, unit udia une to akukune na Yahudawa idi yicila ghe adak ada tucu kucin kone bara awa kuu.
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 Kubi na ida kupoo Yesu inung tiringhe iworo, “Ucaun isughe nani,
And they, when they came to Jesus, earnestly entreated Him, pleading, "He deserves to have this favour granted him,
5 Bara adinin su nanit bite, amere na ke nari kutyin nliran kone.”
for he loves our nation, and at his own expense he built our 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.
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 Bara nanere na nyene liti nighe nbatin ndak kitife ba, belle ligbulang kucin nighe ba shinu.
and therefore I did not deem myself worthy to come to you. Only speak the word, and let my young man be cured.
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 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 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.”
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 Inung alenge na to nani, kpilla udu kilari idi se kucine nshino.
And the friends who had been sent, on returning to the house, found the servant in perfect 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.
Shortly afterwards He went to a town called Nain, attended by His disciples and a great crowd of people.
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.
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 Na ayeneghe, Cikilari lanza nkunekune mye kang, “Na uwa sillu ba.”
The Lord saw her, was moved with pity for her, and said to her, "Do not weep."
14 A da ubun mine adudo akwatu libe, itunna iyisina a woro, “Kwanya, nbellin fe, fita.”
Then He went close and touched the bier, and the bearers halted. "Young man," He said, "I command you, wake!"
15 Atina a fita a so acizina uliru, Yesu yiraghe ana unene.
The dead man sat up and began to speak; and He restored him 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.”
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 Uleli uliru kitene Yesu malla kiti nanya vat Yahudiya nin nigbir kupowe.
And the report of what Jesus had done spread through the whole of Judaea and in all the surrounding districts.
18 Adon katuwa Yohanna bellinghe vat nile imone.
John's disciples brought him an account of all these things;
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?”
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 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?'”
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 Nkoni kube anit gbardang wa shinn nin tikonu mine nin nniu na nan nruhu unanzang, ata anit gbardang aduu yenje kiti.
He immediately cured many of diseases, severe pain, and evil spirits, and to many who were blind He gave the gift of sight.
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.
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 Unit ulenge na asuna uyinnu nin bara imon ile na ndi su ba, ame unan nmariari.”
And blessed is every one who does not stumble and fall because of my claims."
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?
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 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.
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 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.
But what did you go out to see? A Prophet? Aye, I tell you, and far 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.'
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 Meng nbellin munu nanya nale na awani na macu nani, na umon katin Yohanna ku ba, nin nani tigo Kutelle akatinghe.”
"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 Kubi na vat nanite nlanza nani, umunu anan sesun ngandu, itambata Kutelle unit ulau wari, iwadi nanya nalenge na iwae ushintinu Yohanna.
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 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 expounders of the Law have frustrated God's purpose as to their own lives, by refusing to be baptized.
31 Nin nyanghari mba gwadu anit nko kuje muna? Idi nafo iyaghari?
"To what then shall I compare the men of the present generation, and what do they resemble?
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 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 Bara na Yohanna wa dak na asu kilecu sa usonu ba, anung woro, 'Ame kugbergenu ri.'
For John the Baptist has come eating no bread and drinking no wine, and you say, 'He has a demon!'
34 Gono nnit daa adin nlii, aso anug woro, 'Yene, ame unan kileou nin nso udondon na nan sesun ngandu nin nanan kulapi!'
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 Bara nani njinjin nsu utucu nvat nnono mye.”
But wisdom is justified by all who are truly wise."
36 Nene nkon ku Farisiyawa waddi likura au Yesu lii imonli ninghe. Bara kubi na Yesu npira kilari ku Yahudawe, ikilino kutebul isu kileou.
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 Nani umon uwani wa duku nanya kagbire unan kulapi, ayinno nworu Yesu din nli nimon li kilari Kufarisiyawa, ada nin nmon nnut albasta.
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 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.
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 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.”
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 Yesu kauwa a woroghe, “Simon, ndinin nimon ile na mba bellinfi.” A woro, “Belle unan yiru!”
In answer to his thoughts Jesus said to him, "Simon, I have a word to say to you." "Rabbi, say on," he replied.
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.
"There were once two men in debt to one money-lender," said Jesus; "one owed him five hundred shillings and the other fifty.
42 Na iwa dinin nikurfin nbiuwe ba, a woro nani na iwa biya ba. Bara uyemeari nanya mine ba katinu nin su mye?”
But neither of them could pay anything; so he freely forgave them both. Tell me, then, which of them will love him most?"
43 Simon kauwa ghe aworo, “Ndi yenju ulenge na adin dortu ghe ikurfun idia.” Yesu woroghe, “Fe uwusu kidegen dert.”
"I suppose," replied Simon, "the one to whom he forgave most." "You have judged rightly," Jesus rejoined.
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.
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 Na fe ngbindiri ba, amere, unuzu kube na ndah nanye, na asuna ugbindiri zinu nabunu nigbe ba.
No kiss did you give me; but she from the moment I came in has not left off tenderly kissing my feet.
46 Na uwolo abunu nighe nin nuf ba ame nwolo abunu nighe nin nnuf.
No oil did you pour even on my head; but she has poured perfume upon 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.”
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 Atuna aworoghe, “Iyapa alapi fe.”
And He said to her, "Your sins are forgiven."
49 Alenge na idi kileowe ligowe woro nati mine, “Ghari ule na awasa ayapa kulapi?”
Then the other guests began to say to themselves, "Who can this man be who even forgives sins?"
50 Nani Yesu woro nwani une, “Uyinnu fe sa uyene nsu utucufe caan sheuwu.”
But He said to the woman, "Your faith has cured you: go, and be at peace."
