< Luke 7 >

1 Now when he had ended all his sayings in the audience of the people, he entered into Capernaum.
AND when he had finished all these words in the hearing of the people, Jeshu entered into Kapher-nachum.
2 And a certain centurion’s servant, who was dear unto him, was sick, and ready to die.
But the servant of a certain centurion, who was valued by him, was sick, and nigh unto dying.
3 And when he heard of Jesus, he sent unto him the elders of the Jews, beseeching him that he would come and heal his servant.
And he heard of Jeshu, and sent to him the elders of the Jihudoyee, and besought him to come (and) save his servant.
4 And when they came to Jesus, they besought him instantly, saying, That he was worthy for whom he should do this:
And they, when they came to Jeshu, besought of him earnestly, saying, He is worthy that thou do this for him;
5 For he loveth our nation, and he hath built us a synagogue.
for he loveth our people, and also a synagogue he hath built for us.
6 Then Jesus went with them. And when he was now not far from the house, the centurion sent friends to him, saying unto him, Lord, trouble not thyself: for I am not worthy that thou shouldest enter under my roof:
And Jeshu went with them. But when he was not greatly distant from the house, the centurion sent to him his friends, saying to him, My Lord, labour not, for I am not worthy that thou shouldst enter beneath my roof.
7 Wherefore neither thought I myself worthy to come unto thee: but say in a word, and my servant shall be healed.
Wherefore I was not worthy to come to thee; but speak by a word, and my youth shall be healed.
8 For I also am a man set under authority, having under me soldiers, and I say unto one, Go, and he goeth; and to another, Come, and he cometh; and to my servant, Do this, and he doeth [it].
For I also am a man who am subjected under authority; and there are under my hand soldiers, and I say to this one, Go, and he goeth; and to another, Come, and he cometh; and to my servant, Do this, and he doeth.
9 When Jesus heard these things, he marvelled at him, and turned him about, and said unto the people that followed him, I say unto you, I have not found so great faith, no, not in Israel.
Now when Jeshu heard these (words), he admired, and turned and said to the company who came after him, I tell you, that not also in the house of Isroel have I found faith like this.
10 And they that were sent, returning to the house, found the servant whole that had been sick.
And they who had been sent, returned to the house, and found the servant who had been sick now well.
11 And it came to pass the day after, that he went into a city called Nain; and many of his disciples went with him, and much people.
AND it was the day after, that he went to a city whose name was Nain, and his disciples with him, and a great multitude.
12 Now when he came nigh to the gate of the city, behold, there was a dead man carried out, the only son of his mother, and she was a widow: and much people of the city was with her.
And as he approached the gate of the city, he saw (them) following (one) dead, who was the only born of his mother, and she his mother was a widow: and a great multitude of the people of the city were with her.
13 And when the Lord saw her, he had compassion on her, and said unto her, Weep not.
And Jeshu beheld her, and had compassion upon her, and said to her, Weep not.
14 And he came and touched the bier: and they that bare [him] stood still. And he said, Young man, I say unto thee, Arise.
And he went and touched the bier; and they who were carrying it stood. And he said, Young man, to thee I say, Arise.
15 And he that was dead sat up, and began to speak. And he delivered him to his mother.
And the dead sat up, and began to speak. And he gave him to his mother.
16 And there came a fear on all: and they glorified God, saying, That a great prophet is risen up among us; and, That God hath visited his people.
And fear seized all men; and they glorified Aloha, saying, A great prophet hath arisen among us, and Aloha hath visited his people.
17 And this rumour of him went forth throughout all Judæa, and throughout all the region round about.
And this word concerning him went forth into all Jihud, and into the whole region around them.
18 And the disciples of John shewed him of all these things.
And the disciples of Juchanon showed him all these.
19 And John calling [unto him] two of his disciples sent [them] to Jesus, saying, Art thou he that should come? or look we for another?
AND Juchanon called two from his disciples,
20 When the men were come unto him, they said, John Baptist hath sent us unto thee, saying, Art thou he that should come? or look we for another?
and sent them to Jeshu, saying, Art thou He who cometh! or another should we expect?
21 And in that same hour he cured many of [their] infirmities and plagues, and of evil spirits; and unto many [that were] blind he gave sight.
But in that very hour he healed many from diseases, and from plagues, and from evil spirits; and to many blind he gave to see.
22 Then Jesus answering said unto them, Go your way, and tell John what things ye have seen and heard; how that the blind see, the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, the deaf hear, the dead are raised, to the poor the gospel is preached.
And Jeshu answered and said to them, Go tell Juchanon every thing you have seen and heard: that the blind see, and the lame walk, and the lepers are cleansed, and the deaf hear, and the dead arise, and the poor are evangelized;
23 And blessed is [he], whosoever shall not be offended in me.
and blessed is he whosoever is not offended in me.
24 And when the messengers of John were departed, he began to speak unto the people concerning John, What went ye out into the wilderness for to see? A reed shaken with the wind?
But when the disciples of Juchanon were gone, Jeshu began to speak to the people concerning Juchanon: What went you forth into the wilderness to see? a reed from the wind shaken?
25 But what went ye out for to see? A man clothed in soft raiment? Behold, they which are gorgeously apparelled, and live delicately, are in kings’ courts.
If not, what went you forth to see? a man clothed in soft raiment? Behold, they who are clothed in bright vestments, and are (living) in pleasures, are in the house of kings.
26 But what went ye out for to see? A prophet? Yea, I say unto you, and much more than a prophet.
If not, what went you forth to see? a prophet? Yes, I tell you, and more than a prophet:
27 This is [he], of whom it is written, Behold, I send my messenger before thy face, which shall prepare thy way before thee.
he, concerning whom it is written, Behold, I send mine angel before thy face, Who shall prepare the way before thee.
28 For I say unto you, Among those that are born of women there is not a greater prophet than John the Baptist: but he that is least in the kingdom of God is greater than he.
I tell you, that no prophet among those born of women (hath been) greater than Juchanon the Baptizer. Yet the least in the kingdom of Aloha is greater than he.
29 And all the people that heard [him], and the publicans, justified God, being baptized with the baptism of John.
(And all the people that heard him, and the tribute-gatherers also, justified Aloha, because they were baptized with the baptism of Juchanon.
30 But the Pharisees and lawyers rejected the counsel of God against themselves, being not baptized of him.
But the Pharishee and Sophree rejected against themselves the will of Aloha, because they were not baptized of him.)
31 And the Lord said, Whereunto then shall I liken the men of this generation? and to what are they like?
With what therefore shall I compare the men of this generation, and to what are they like?
32 They are like unto children sitting in the marketplace, and calling one to another, and saying, We have piped unto you, and ye have not danced; we have mourned to you, and ye have not wept.
They are like children sitting in the public place, and crying to their companions, and saying, We have sung to you, and you have not danced; we have wailed to you, and you have not wept.
33 For John the Baptist came neither eating bread nor drinking wine; and ye say, He hath a devil.
For Juchanon the Baptizer came, neither eating bread nor drinking wine, and you say, A devil is in him.
34 The Son of man is come eating and drinking; and ye say, Behold a gluttonous man, and a winebibber, a friend of publicans and sinners!
The Son of man came eating and drinking, and you say, Behold a man a devourer and a drinker of wine, and a friend of tribute-takers and of sinners!
35 But wisdom is justified of all her children.
But justified is wisdom of her sons.
36 And one of the Pharisees desired him that he would eat with him. And he went into the Pharisee’s house, and sat down to meat.
NOW there came one of the Pharishee requesting of him to eat with him: and he entered into the house of the Pharisha, and reclined.
37 And, behold, a woman in the city, which was a sinner, when she knew that [Jesus] sat at meat in the Pharisee’s house, brought an alabaster box of ointment,
And a woman, a sinner, was in that city; and when she knew that in the house of the Pharisha he reclined, she took a vase of ointment,
38 And stood at his feet behind [him] weeping, and began to wash his feet with tears, and did wipe [them] with the hairs of her head, and kissed his feet, and anointed [them] with the ointment.
and stood behind him at his feet and wept, and began with her tears to bedrop his feet, and with the hair of her head to wipe them, and she kissed his feet, and anointed (them) with the ointment.
39 Now when the Pharisee which had bidden him saw [it], he spake within himself, saying, This man, if he were a prophet, would have known who and what manner of woman [this is] that toucheth him: for she is a sinner.
But when the Pharisha who had invited him saw (this), he thought within himself and said, Were this a prophet, he would know who this is and what is her report, for this woman is a sinner who toucheth him.
40 And Jesus answering said unto him, Simon, I have somewhat to say unto thee. And he saith, Master, say on.
But Jeshu answered and said to him, Shemun, I have somewhat to say to thee. He said to him, Say, Rabi.
41 There was a certain creditor which had two debtors: the one owed five hundred pence, and the other fifty.
Jeshu said to him, A certain creditor had two debtors: the one owed him five hundred dinoree, and the other fifty dinoree.
42 And when they had nothing to pay, he frankly forgave them both. Tell me therefore, which of them will love him most?
And when they had nothing to pay, he forgave them both. Which, therefore, of them the most would love him?
43 Simon answered and said, I suppose that [he], to whom he forgave most. And he said unto him, Thou hast rightly judged.
Shemun answered and said, I think he to whom much was forgiven. Jeshu said to him, Thou hast judged rightly.
44 And he turned to the woman, and said unto Simon, Seest thou this woman? I entered into thine house, thou gavest me no water for my feet: but she hath washed my feet with tears, and wiped [them] with the hairs of her head.
And he turned to that woman, and said to Shemun, Thou seest this woman: I entered thy house; waters for my feet thou gavest me not; but this with her tears hath bedropped my feet, and with her hair hath wiped them.
45 Thou gavest me no kiss: but this woman since the time I came in hath not ceased to kiss my feet.
Thou didst not kiss me; but, behold, this from (the time) I entered hath not ceased my feet to kiss.
46 My head with oil thou didst not anoint: but this woman hath anointed my feet with ointment.
Thou with ointment my feet didst not anoint, but this with ointment of balsam my feet hath anointed.
47 Wherefore I say unto thee, Her sins, which are many, are forgiven; for she loved much: but to whom little is forgiven, [the same] loveth little.
Therefore I tell thee, That forgiven to her are her many sins, because she hath loved much. For he to whom little is forgiven, little loveth.
48 And he said unto her, Thy sins are forgiven.
And he said to her, Woman, forgiven to thee (are) thy sins.
49 And they that sat at meat with him began to say within themselves, Who is this that forgiveth sins also?
But they who reclined said among themselves, Who is this who also sins forgiveth?
50 And he said to the woman, Thy faith hath saved thee; go in peace.
But Jeshu said to that woman, Thy faith hath saved thee; go in peace.
