LUKAS 7

Jainkoaren erregetza iritsi deneko ezaugarriak (7,1-50)

Erromatar ehuntariaren sinesmena

(Mt 8,5-13; Jn 4,46-54)

1 Herriari egindako hitzaldi hau amaiturik, Jesus Kafarnaumen sartu zen. 2 Bazen han erromatar ehuntari bat, eta honek morroi bat zuen oso maitea; morroia gaizki zegoen, hilzorian. 3 Jesusen berri entzunik, judu-buruzagi batzuk bidali zizkion, morroia sendatzera etortzeko erreguaz. 4 Joan ziren Jesusengana, eta arren eta arren eskatu zioten: «Merezi du zuk hori egitea,

5 maite baitu gure herria eta berak egin digu sinagoga ere».
6 Jesus beraiekin joan zen. Etxera hurbilduxea zela, lagun batzuk bidali zizkion ehuntariak esatera: «Ez hartu nekerik, Jauna, ni ez bainaiz inor zu nire etxean sartzeko. 7 Horregatik, ez naiz ausartu neu zuregana joaten; aski duzu hitz bat esatea nire morroia sendatzeko.

8 Neuk ere, menpekoa izanagatik, soldaduak ditut menpean, eta batari joateko agintzen badiot, joan egiten da, besteari etortzeko agindu eta etorri, morroiari zerbait egiteko esan eta hala egiten du».

9 Hau entzutean, Jesus harritu egin zen hartaz eta, ondoren zetorkion jendearengana itzulirik, esan zuen: «Egia esan, Israelen bertan ere ez dut aurkitu horrelako sinestedunik».t

10 Mandatariek, etxera itzultzean, sendatua aurkitu zuten morroia.

Emakume alargunaren semea piztu

13 Hau ikustean, errukitu egin zitzaion Jauna eta esan zion: «Ez egin negarrik».

14 Aurreraturik, hilkutxa ukitu zuen, eta zeramatenak gelditu egin ziren. Orduan, esan zuen: «Gazte, zuri diotsut: Jaiki!»
15 Jaiki zen hildakoa eta hizketan hasi, eta Jesusek amari bihurtu zion.

16 Denak beldurrak hartu zituen, eta Jainkoa goresten zuten, esanez: «Profeta handi bat sortu da gure artean». Baita ere: «Jainkoa bere herria salbatzera etorri dat».t

17 Judea eta inguruko lurralde guztian zabaldu zen gertaera honen berri.t

Joan Bataiatzailearen galdera eta Jesusen aitorpena

(Mt 11,2-19)

19 Jaunarengana bidali zituen galdetzera: «Zu al zara “Etortzekoat”, ala besteren baten zain egon behar dugu?»t

20 Joan ziren, bada, haiek Jesusengana eta esan zioten:
—Joan Bataiatzaileak bidali gaitu zuri galdetzera: «Zu al zara “Etortzekoa” ala besteren baten zain egon behar dugu?»
21 Une hartan, gaitz, eritasun eta espiritu gaiztoak zeuzkan jende asko sendatu zuen Jesusek, eta itsu askori ikusmena itzuli zien.

22 Ondoren, mandatariei erantzun zien:
—Zoazte eta esan Joani ikusi eta entzun duzuena: itsuek ikusi egiten dute, herrenak badabiltza, legendunak garbi gelditzen dira eta gorrek entzun egiten, hildakoak piztu egiten dira eta behartsuei berri ona ematen zaie.t

23 Eta zoriontsua sinesteko oztoporik niregan aurkitzen ez duenat!t
24 Joanen mandatariek alde egin zutenean, Jesus Joani buruz hitz egiten hasi zitzaion jendeari: «Zer ikustera irten zineten basamortura? Haizeak kulunka darabilen kanabera? 25 Zer ikustera irten zineten, bestela? Soineko apainez jantzitako gizona? Jantzi ederrez eta luxuan dabiltzanak errege-jauregietan bizi ohi dira. 26 Zer ikustera irten zineten, bada? Profetaren bat? Bai, noski, eta profeta baino ere handiagoa.t 27 Hartaz dago idatzia Liburu Santuan: Begira, neure mezularia bidaltzen dut zure aurretik; hark prestatuko dizu aurretik bidea.t

28 Egia esan, ez da amaren semerik Joan bainot handiagorik; hala ere, Jainkoaren erreinuko txikiena ere hura baino handiago da.
29 «Joani entzun zion herri osoak, baita zergalariek ere, Jainkoak arrazoi zuela aitortu zuten, haren bataioa hartuz.t

30 Fariseu eta lege-maisuek, ordea, huts eragin zioten Jainkoak beraientzat zeukan asmoari, ez baitzuten Joanen bataioa hartu.
31 «Norekin konparatuko dut, bada, gizaldi honetako jendea? Noren antzeko dira?t

32 Plazan eseriak dauden mutikoen antzeko dira, honela ari baitzaizkio elkarri: “Jo dizuegu txistua eta zuek dantzarik ez; hiletak jo eta zuek negarrik ez”.
33 «Etorri baita Joan Bataiatzailea, ez jan eta ez edan egiten ez duela, eta burutik egina dagoelat diozue.t 34 Etorri da Gizonaren Semea, jaten eta edaten duela, eta esaten duzue: “A zer tripazain eta mozkorra, zergalari eta bekatarien laguna!”t

35 Baina Jainkoaren jakinduria zuzena dela aitortzen dute bera onartzen duten guztiekt».

Fariseua eta emakume bekatari barkatua

38 Jesusen atzean oinen ondoant jarri zen negarrez, eta oinak malkoz bustitzen hasi zitzaion; gero, ileaz xukatu eta musukatuz, ukenduz igurzten zizkion.t

39 Hau ikustean, gonbidatu zuen fariseuak bere baitan zioen: «Benetan profeta balitz, jakingo luke zer-nolakoa den ukitzen ari zaion emakumea, bekataria alegia».t

40 Jesusek esan zion:
—Simon, badut zerbait zuri esateko.
Hark erantzun:
—Esadazu, Maisu.
41 —Diru-mailegari batek bi zordun zituen: batak bostehun denario zor zizkion eta besteak berrogeita hamar.

42 Zerez ordaindurik ez zutelarik, barkatu egin zien biei. Bietako zeinek izango ote du maiteen?

43 Simonek erantzun zion:
—Gehien barkatu zionak, nik uste.
Jesusek esan zion:
—Zuzen diozu.

44 Eta, emakumeagana bihurturik, Simoni esan zion:
—Ikusten al duzu emakume hau? Zure etxean sartu naizenean, ez didazu oinak garbitzeko urik eskaini; honek, berriz, malkoz busti dizkit oinak eta bere ileaz xukatu.t 45 Zuk ez nauzu musu emanez agurtu; hau, berriz, sartu denetikt ez da gelditu nire oinei musuka. 46 Zuk ez didazu burua olioz igurtzi; honek, berriz, oinak ukenduz igurtzi dizkit.t

47 Beraz, hau diotsut: Bekatu asko ditu, baina hainbesteko maitasuna ageri badu, Jainkoak barkatu dizkion seinalea da; gutxi barkatzen zaionak maitasun gutxi agertzen du.

48 Eta emakumeari esan zion: «Barkatuak dituzu zeure bekatuak».t

49 Beste bazkaltiarrak beren artean hasi ziren esaten: «Nor ote dugu bekatuak barkatu ere egiten dituen hau?»t
50 Baina Jesusek esan zion emakumeari: «Zeure sinesmenak salbatu zaitu; zoaz bakean».t

Luke 7

Healing the Centurion’s Slave

1 After Jesust had finished teaching all this to the people,t he entered Capernaum.ss2 A centurions theret had a slavet who was highly regarded,t but who was sick and at the point of death.3 When the centuriont heardt about Jesus, he sent some Jewish elderss to him, asking him to comet and heal his slave.4 Whent they camet to Jesus, they urgedt him earnestly,t “He is worthyt to have you do this for him,5 because he loves our nation,t and event built our synagogue.”s6 Sot Jesus went with them. Whent he was not far from the house, the centurions sent friends to say to him, “Lord, do not trouble yourself,t for I am not worthys to have you come under my roof.7 That is whyt I did not presumet to come to you. Instead, say the word, and my servant must be healed.st8 For I too am a man set under authority, with soldiers under me.t I say to this one, ‘Go,’ and he goes,s and to another, ‘Come,’ and he comes, and to my slave, ‘Do this,’ and he does it.”t9 When Jesus heard this, he was amazedt at him. He turned and said to the crowd that followed him, “I tell you, not even in Israel have I found such faith!”s

10 Sot when those who had been sent returned to the house, they found the slaves well.

Raising a Widow’s Son

11 Soont afterwards Jesust went to a townt called Nain, and his disciples and a large crowd went with him.12 As he approached the town gate, a mant who had died was being carried out,t the only son of his mother (whot was a widows), and a large crowd from the townt was with her.13 Whent the Lord saw her, he had compassions for her and said to her, “Do not weep.”t14 Thent he came upt and toucheds the bier,s and those who carried it stood still. Het said, “Young man, I say to you, get up!”15 Sot the dead mant sat up and began to speak, and Jesust gave him backt to his mother.16 Feart seized them all, and they began to glorifyt God, saying, “A great prophets has appearedt among us!” and “God has come to helpt his people!”

17 Thist reports about Jesust circulatedt throughoutt Judea and all the surrounding country.

Jesus and John the Baptist

18 John’st disciples informed him about all these things. Sot John calledt two of his disciples19 and sent them to Jesuss to ask,t “Are you the one who is to come,s or should we look for another?”20 Whent the men came to Jesus,t they said, “John the Baptist has sent us to you to ask,t ‘Are you the one who is to come, or should we look for another?’”t21 At that very timet Jesust cured many people of diseases, sicknesses,t and evil spirits, and grantedt sight to many who were blind.22 Sot he answered them,t “Go tells John what you have seen and heard:s The blind see, the lame walk, lepers are cleansed, thet deaf hear, the dead are raised, the poor have good news proclaimed to them.

23 Blessed is anyonet who takes no offense at me.”
24 Whent John’s messengers had gone, Jesust began to speak to the crowds about John: “What did you go out into the wildernesst to see? A reed shaken by the wind?t25 Whatt did you go out to see? A man dressed in fancyt clothes?s Look, those who wear fancy clothes and live in luxuryt are in kings’ courts!t26 What did you go out to see? A prophet? Yes, I tell you, and moret than a prophet.27 This is the one about whom it is written, ‘Look, I am sending my messenger ahead of you,twho will prepare your way before you.’s28 I tell you, among those born of women no one is greaters than John.s Yet the one who is leasts in the kingdom of Gods is greater than he is.”29 (Nowt all the people who heard this, even the tax collectors,s acknowledgedt God’s justice, because they had been baptizedt with John’s baptism.

30 However, the Phariseess and the experts in religious lawt rejected God’s purposet for themselves, because they had not been baptizedt by John.t)s
31 “To what then should I compare the peoplet of this generation, and what are they like?

32 They are like children sitting in the marketplace and calling out to one another,t
‘We played the flute for you, yet you did not dance;s
we wailed in mourning,t yet you did not weep.’
33 For John the Baptist has comet eating no bread and drinking no wine,t and you say, ‘He has a demon!’s34 The Son of Man has come eating and drinking, and you say, ‘Look at him,t a glutton and a drunk, a friend of tax collectors and sinners!’s

35 But wisdom is vindicatedt by all her children.”t

Jesus’ Anointing

36 Now one of the Phariseess asked Jesust to have dinner with him, sot he went into the Pharisee’s house and took his place at the table.t37 Thent when a woman of that town, who was a sinner, learned that Jesust was diningt at the Pharisee’s house, she brought an alabaster jars of perfumed oil.ts38 Ast she stoodt behind him at his feet, weeping, she began to wet his feet with her tears. Shet wiped them with her hair,t kissedt them,t and anointeds them with the perfumed oil.39 Now when the Pharisee who had invited him saw this,t he said to himself, “If this man were a prophet,t he would know who and what kind of womans this is who is touching him, that she is a sinner.”40 Sot Jesus answered him,ts “Simon, I have something to say to you.” He replied,t “Say it, Teacher.”41 “A certain creditors had two debtors; one owed himt five hundred silver coins,ts and the other fifty.42 When they could not pay, he canceledt the debts of both. Now which of them will love him more?”43 Simon answered,t “I suppose the one who had the bigger debt canceled.”t Jesust said to him, “You have judged rightly.”44 Then,t turning toward the woman, he said to Simon, “Do you see this woman? I entered your house. You gave me no water for my feet,s but she has wet my feet with her tears and wiped them with her hair.45 You gave me no kiss of greeting,t but from the time I entered she has not stopped kissing my feet.46 You did not anoint my head with oil, but she has anointed my feets with perfumed oil.47 Therefore I tell you, her sins, which were many, are forgiven, thus she loved much;ts but the one who is forgiven little loves little.”48 Thent Jesust said to her, “Your sins are forgiven.”s49 Butt those who were at the tablet with him began to say among themselves, “Who is this, who even forgives sins?”

50 Het said to the woman, “Your faiths has saved you;s go in peace.”
