Luke 17
1 Jesus said to His disciples, "It is inevitable that causes of stumbling should come; but alas for him through whom they come!
Ọ sịrị ndị na-eso ụzọ ya, “Ihe ndị nke na-eme ka mmadụ jehie aghaghị ịdị, ma ahụhụ ga-adịrị onye ọbụla ọnọdụ ndị a ga-esi nʼaka ya bịa.
2 It would be well for him if, with a millstone round his neck, he were lying at the bottom of the sea, rather than that he should cause even one of these little ones to fall.
Ọ ga-akara gị mma ka e kenye gị nkume igwe nri nʼolu, tụnye gị nʼime oke osimiri, karịa na ị ga-eduhie otu nʼime ụmụntakịrị ndị a ụzọ.
3 Be on your guard. "If your brother acts wrongly, reprove him; and if he is sorry, forgive him;
Kpachapụrụnụ onwe unu anya! “Ọ bụrụ na nwanna gị e mejọọ gị, baara ya mba. Ọ bụrụ na o chegharịa, gbaghara ya.
4 and if seven times in a day he acts wrongly towards you, and seven times turns again to you and says, 'I am sorry,' you must forgive him."
Ọ bụrụkwa na o mejọọ gị ugboro asaa nʼotu ụbọchị, rịọkwa gị ugboro asaa sị, ‘E chegharịala m,’ ị ghaghị ịgbaghara ya.”
5 And the Apostles said to the Lord, "Give us faith."
Ndị ozi ya sịrị ya, “Onyenwe anyị, mee ka okwukwe anyị dị ukwuu!”
6 "If your faith," replied the Lord, "is like a mustard seed, you might command this black-mulberry-tree, 'Tear up your roots and plant yourself in the sea,' and instantly it would obey you.
Onyenwe anyị zara, “Ọ bụrụ na unu nwere okwukwe nke ha ka mkpụrụ mọstaadị, unu nwere ike ị sị osisi ukwu a, Ka e site na mgbọrọgwụ hopu gị ma kụọkwa gị nʼime oke osimiri, ọ ga-erubere unu isi.
7 But which of you who has a servant ploughing, or tending sheep, will say to him when he comes in from the farm, 'Come at once and take your place at table,'
“Ọ bụ onye nʼime unu nke nwere ohu onye si ebe ọ gara rụọ ọrụ maọbụ ịzụ atụrụ lọbata, ga-asị ya, ‘Mee ngwangwa nọdụ ala rie nri’?
8 and will not rather say to him, 'Get my dinner ready, make yourself tidy, and wait upon me till I have finished my dinner, and then you shall have yours'?
Ọ gaghị asị ya, ‘Siere m nri ọsịịsọ, kwadoo onwe gị jere m ozi ka m na-eri na aṅụkwa ihe ọṅụṅụ; emesịa ị ga-eri nri ma ṅụọ ihe ọṅụṅụ nke gị’?
9 Does he thank the servant for obeying his orders?
Ọ ga-ekele ohu ahụ nʼihi na ọ rụrụ ọrụ o kwesiri ịrụ?
10 So you also, when you have obeyed all the orders given you, must say, "'There is no merit in our service: what we have done is only what we were in duty bound to do.'"
Nʼotu aka ahụ, mgbe unu rụchara ọrụ niile unu kwesiri ịrụ, ihe unu ga-ekwu bụ, ‘Anyị bụ ụmụ ohu na-ekwesighị ekwesi, anyị emeela ihe anyị kwesiri ime.’”
11 As they pursued their journey to Jerusalem, He passed through Samaria and Galilee.
Ka ọ na-aga Jerusalem, o sitere nʼụzọ dị nʼagbata Sameria na Galili.
12 And as He entered a certain village, ten men met Him who were lepers and stood at a distance.
Mgbe ọ banyere nʼotu obodo nta, ndị ekpenta iri sitere nʼebe dị anya zute ya.
13 In loud voices they cried out, "Jesus, Rabbi, take pity on us."
Ha tiri mkpu nʼoke olu sị, “Jisọs nna anyị ukwuu, mere anyị ebere.”
14 Perceiving this, He said to them, "Go and show yourselves to the Priests." And while on their way to do this they were made clean.
Mgbe ọ hụrụ ha, ọ sịrị ha, “Gaanụ gosi ndị nchụaja onwe unu.” Dị ka ha na-aga, e mere ka ha dị ọcha.
15 One of them, seeing that he was cured, came back, adoring and praising God in a loud voice,
Mgbe otu nʼime ha chọpụtara na a gwọọla ya, ọ laghachiri azụ, jiri oke olu na-eto Chineke.
16 and he threw himself at the feet of Jesus, thanking Him. He was a Samaritan.
Ọ dara nʼala nʼụkwụ ya, kelee ya. Ọ bụ onye Sameria.
17 "Were not all ten made clean?" Jesus asked; "but where are the nine?
Jisọs jụrụ sị, “Ọ bụghị mmadụ iri ka e mere ka ha dị ọcha, ebeekwanụ ka itoolu ndị ọzọ nọ?
18 Have none been found to come back and give glory to God except this foreigner?"
Ọ bu naanị onye mba ọzọ a lọghachiri inye Chineke otuto?”
19 And He said to him, "Rise and go: your faith has cured you."
Mgbe ahụ, ọ sịrị ya, “Bilie, laa, okwukwe gị agwọọla gị.”
20 Being asked by the Pharisees when the Kingdom of God was coming, He answered, "The Kingdom of God does not so come that you can stealthily watch for it.
Ma mgbe ndị Farisii jụrụ ya sị, Olee mgbe alaeze Chineke ga-abịa? O kwuru, “Ọbịbịa alaeze Chineke agaghị a bụ nʼụzọ a ga-eji anya efu hụ ya.
21 Nor will they say, 'See here!' or 'See there!' --for the Kingdom of God is within you."
Ha agaghịkwa asị, ‘Lee, ọ nọ nʼebe a,’ maọbụ, ‘nʼebe ahụ,’ nʼihi nʼezie, alaeze Chineke nọ nʼetiti unu.”
22 Then, turning to His disciples, He said, "There will come a time when you will wish you could see a single one of the days of the Son of Man, but will not see one.
Mgbe ahụ, ọ gwara ndị na-eso ụzọ ya, “Oge na-abịa mgbe ọ ga-agụsi unu agụụ ike ịhụ otu nʼime ụbọchị nke Nwa nke Mmadụ, ma unu agaghị ahụ ya.
23 And they will say to you, 'See there!' 'See here!' Do not start off and go in pursuit.
Ha ga-asị unu, ‘Lee, nʼebe ahụ,’ maọbụ, ‘Lee, nʼebe a,’ unu agala, unu esokwala ha.
24 For just as the lightning, when it flashes, shines from one part of the horizon to the opposite part, so will the Son of Man be on His day.
Nʼihi na Nwa nke Mmadụ nʼụbọchị ya ga-adị ka amụma nke eluigwe nke na-enye ìhè na mbara eluigwe site nʼotu ebe ruo nʼebe nke ọzọ.
25 But first He must endure much suffering, and be rejected by the present generation.
Ma ọ ghaghị ibu ụzọ hụọ ọtụtụ ahụhụ, ọgbọ a ga-ajụkwa ya.
26 "And as it was in the time of Noah, so will it also be in the time of the Son of Man.
“Dị ka ọ dị nʼụbọchị Noa, otu a ka ọ ga-adịkwa nʼụbọchị Nwa nke Mmadụ.
27 Men were eating and drinking, taking wives and giving wives, up to the very day on which Noah entered the Ark, and the Deluge came and destroyed them all.
Ha nọ na-eri na-aṅụ, na-alụ nwunye na-ekekwa ụmụ ha di, ruo mgbe Noa banyere nʼụgbọ mmiri. Oke iju mmiri ahụ bịakwara laa ha nʼiyi.
28 The same was true in the time of Lot: they were eating and drinking, buying and selling, planting and building;
“Otu a ka ọ dịkwa nʼoge Lọt. Ha nọ na-eri, na-aṅụ, na-azụrịtakwa ahịa, na-akụ mkpụrụ, na-arụkwa ụlọ.
29 but on the day that Lot left Sodom, God rained fire and brimstone from the sky and destroyed them all.
Ma nʼụbọchị ahụ Lọt si nʼobodo Sọdọm pụta, ọkụ na nkume dị ọkụ sitere nʼeluigwe zoo ka mmiri, laa ha niile nʼiyi.
30 Exactly so will it be on the day that the veil is lifted from the Son of Man.
“Otu a ka ọ ga-adịkwa nʼụbọchị a ga-eme ka Nwa nke Mmadụ pụta ìhè.
31 "On that day, if a man is on the roof and his property indoors, let him not go down to fetch it; and, in the same way, he who is in the field, let him not turn back.
Nʼụbọchị ahụ, onye ọbụla nọ nʼelu ụlọ, ma ihe ya dị nʼime ụlọ, arịtukwala ịba nʼime ụlọ iburu ngwongwo ndị ahụ. Nʼotu aka ahụ, onye ọbụla nọ nʼubi, ya ghara ịlọghachita.
32 Remember Lot's wife.
Chetakwanụ nwunye Lọt.
33 Any man who makes it his object to keep his own life safe, will lose it; but whoever loses his life will preserve it.
Onye ọbụla chọrọ iche ndụ ya nche ka ọ ga-efunarị, ma onye ọbụla na-atụfu ndụ ya ga-echebe ya.
34 On that night, I tell you, there will be two men in one bed: one will be taken away and the other left behind.
Asị m unu, nʼanyasị ahụ mmadụ abụọ ga-edina nʼotu akwa, a ga-ewepụ otu nʼime ha hapụ onye nke ọzọ.
35 There will be two women turning the mill together: one will be taken away and the other left behind."
Ụmụ nwanyị abụọ ga na-akwọ ọka nʼotu ebe, a ga-ewere otu ma hapụ nke ọzọ.”
Ụmụ nwoke abụọ ga-anọ nʼubi, a ga-ewere otu onye hapụ nke ọzọ.
37 "Where, Master?" they inquired. "Where the dead body is," He replied, "there also will the vultures flock together."
Ha jụrụ ya sị, “Olee ebe, Onyenwe anyị?” Ọ sịrị ha, “Ebe ọbụla ozu dị, ka udele na-ezukọta.”
