Luke 5 (BOU) · Opened

1Msi umwe, Yesu ekuwaho kagooka khandakhanda ya tondoo da mazi ya Genesaleti, na wantu wangi newamzunguuka uku wakefintafinta, wategeeza mbui ya Muungu.On one occasion, while Jesus was standing by the Lake of Gennesaret with the crowd pressing in on Him to hear the word of God,

2Akoona ngaawa mbii khandakhanda ya tondoo da mazi. Walowa wa samaki newalawa, wasunta nyavu zao.He saw two boats at the edge of the lake. The fishermen had left them and were washing their nets.

3Yesu akengia mwe ngaawa mwenga yekuwayo ya Simoni, nee amuombeza Simoni aisogeze mwe tondoo da mazi kulawa mpwani, Yesu akahinya zumwezumwe da wantu uku kekaa mwe ngaawa.Jesus got into the boat belonging to Simon and asked him to put out a little from shore. And sitting down, He taught the people from the boat.

4Ekubindaho kuhinya, akamwamba Simoni, “Yegae ngaawa adi mwekiindi, mkazitambike nyavu mdahe kulowa samaki.”When Jesus had finished speaking, He said to Simon, “Put out into deep water and let down your nets for a catch.”

5Simoni akamtambaisa, “Zumbe titenda ivyo kio kigima khatokuambua kintu, akini kwaviya kugombeka, nenda nizitambike nyavu.”“Master,” Simon replied, “we have worked hard all night without catching anything. But because You say so, I will let down the nets.”

6Ekubindaho kugosoa ivyo, wakalowa samaki wangi, ivyo nyavu zao zikavoka kudumuka.When they had done so, they caught such a large number of fish that their nets began to tear.

7Wakawetanga wezwao wekuwao mwe ngaawa ntuhu weze kuwaambiza. Wakeza, wakamemeeza ngaawa zose mbii samaki, zikawa hehi na kuzama.So they signaled to their partners in the other boat to come and help them, and they came and filled both boats so full that they began to sink.

8Simoni Petulo ekuonaho ayo, akakinta mavindi hemeso ya Yesu akamba, “Hauke he meso yangu ee Zumbe, kwaviya mie ni mwenye mavigaviga!”When Simon Peter saw this, he fell at Jesus’ knees. “Go away from me, Lord,” he said, “for I am a sinful man.”

9Simoni hamwe na weziwe wose wakahondomaa kwa ugenyezi wa samaki wangi viya.For he and his companions were astonished at the catch of fish they had taken,

10Viyaviya Yakobo na Yohana, wana wa Zebedayo wekuwao walowa wa samaki weziwe Simoni, Yesu akamwamba Simoni, “Usekuogoha kuvokea isasa wendauwe mlowa wa wantu.”and so were his partners James and John, the sons of Zebedee. “Do not be afraid,” Jesus said to Simon. “From now on you will catch men.”

11Naho, bada ya kuzieta zia ngaawa mpwani, wakabada vyose wakamtongea.And when they had brought their boats ashore, they left everything and followed Him.

12Aho Yesu ekuwaho mwe mzi umwewao, mntu yumwe mwenye utamu wa nyoka mwii mgima Yesu akamwona. Naho, mntu uyo akagonea ifu akamwombeza Yesu, “Zumbe, ukakunda wadaha kuning'aza!”While Jesus was in one of the towns, a man came along who was covered with leprosy. When he saw Jesus, he fell facedown and begged Him, “Lord, if You are willing, You can make me clean.”

13Yesu akenua mkono, akamdonta na kugombeka, “Nakunda, ng'azika!” Ahoaho akahona utamu wa nyoka.Jesus reached out His hand and touched the man. “I am willing,” He said. “Be clean!” And immediately the leprosy left him.

14Yesu akamwagiiya akamwamba, “Usekumwamba mntu yoyose mbui izi, iya hita mwenga kwa mwenga kwa Mviki, ukalavye lavyo kwa Mviki inga Musa ekuagiiavyo na kuwa uvuhuzi kwa wantu wose kuwa kusuntwa.”“Do not tell anyone,” Jesus instructed him. “But go, show yourself to the priest and present the offering Moses prescribed for your cleansing, as a testimony to them.”

15Akini mbui za Yesu zikaendeeya kuambazika kiya hantu. Mazumwezumwe mangi ya wantu wakakintana kumtegeeza na kuhonywa matamu yao.But the news about Jesus spread all the more, and great crowds came to hear Him and to be healed of their sicknesses.

16Akini yee akaita hantu hesahokuwa na wantu uko akavika.Yet He frequently withdrew to the wilderness to pray.

17Msi umwe, Yesu nekawa akahinya. Mafalisayo na Wahinya wa Miagiiyo kulawa mwe kiya mzi wa Galilaya na Yudea na Yelusalemu, newekaa aho. Udaho wa Zumbe ne uwa hamwe naye kwaajii ya kuhonya watamu.One day Jesus was teaching, and the Pharisees and teachers of the law were sitting there. People had come from Jerusalem and from every village of Galilee and Judea, and the power of the Lord was present for Him to heal the sick.

18Ahoaho wantu wakeza, wamwenua mntu yumwe mwekuhoowa mwii, kagona mwe usazi wakageeza kumwengiza ndani, wamwiike hemeso ya Yesu.Just then some men came carrying a paralyzed man on a mat. They tried to bring him inside to set him before Jesus,

19Kwaajii ya zumwezumwe da wantu dekumemado, khawokudaha kubua hehi na Yesu. Ivyo wakabovoa hantu ha chusi yekuwayo uwanga ya hantu ekuwaho Yesu, nee waseeza javi da yuda mwekuhoowa.but they could not find a way through the crowd. So they went up on the roof and lowered him on his mat through the tiles into the middle of the crowd, right in front of Jesus.

20Yesu ekuonaho wekuwavyo na uzumizi mkuu, akamwamba mntu uyo, “Mmbuya kuekewa mavigaviga yako.”When Jesus saw their faith, He said, “Friend, your sins are forgiven.”

21Wahinya wa Miagiiyo na Mafalisayo wakavoka kweuza wenye, “Nindai uyu atamwiaye mbui zakufuu? Khahana mntu adahae kuekea mavigaviga iya Muungu ikedu!”But the scribes and Pharisees began thinking to themselves, “Who is this man who speaks blasphemy? Who can forgive sins but God alone?”

22Yesu akawamanya mamakhanyo zao, akawauza, “Mwamamakhanya mbwai mwe mioyo yenu?Knowing what they were thinking, Jesus replied, “Why are you thinking these things in your hearts?

23Ni dihi dekuhuhado muno Kugombeka, ‘Kuekewa mavigaviga,’ hambu kugombeka, ‘Gooka, uite?’Which is easier: to say, ‘Your sins are forgiven,’ or to say, ‘Get up and walk’?

24Naho nakunda mmanye kwaviya Mwana wa Mntu ana udaho wa kuekea wantu mavigaviga mwe inusi.” Aho akamwamba uyo mwekuhoowa, “Gooka, doa javi dako, uite kaya.”But so that you may know that the Son of Man has authority on the earth to forgive sins…” He said to the paralytic, “I tell you, get up, pick up your mat, and go home.”

25Ahoaho uyo mntu mwekuhoowa akagooka hemeso ya wose, akadoa usazi wakwe akaita kaya kwake uku amtogoa Muungu.And immediately the man stood up before them, took what he had been lying on, and went home glorifying God.

26Wose wakatozwa na umako na kwengiwa ni maatu, nee wamtogoa Muungu wakagombeka, “Ivyeo tiona ntangio.”Everyone was taken with amazement and glorified God. They were filled with awe and said, “We have seen remarkable things today.”

27Yekwembokaho ayo, Yesu akalawa chongoi akamwona mtoza kodi yumwe etangwaye Lawi, kekaa hantu hakwe hakudoea kodi. Yesu akamwamba, “Nitongea”After this, Jesus went out and saw a tax collector named Levi sitting at the tax booth. “Follow Me,” He told him,

28Naye akavibada vyose akamtongea.and Levi got up, left everything, and followed Him.

29Naho Lawi akamgosoeya Yesu ntafuno mwe nyumba yakwe, na zumwezumwe kuu dawatoza kodi na wantu wangi wawa wekaa hamwe nae.Then Levi hosted a great banquet for Jesus at his house. A large crowd of tax collectors was there, along with others who were eating with them.

30Akini Mafalisayo na Wahinyi wa miagiiyo wakawa wawang'ung'uzikia wahina wakwe na kuwamba, “Kwa mbwai mwada na kudomea na watozao kodi na wenao mavigaviga?”But the Pharisees and their scribes complained to Jesus’ disciples, “Why do you eat and drink with tax collectors and sinners?”

31Yesu akawatambaisa, “Wenye mii mitana khawakunda mganga, wamkundao ni wada wekuwao watamu.Jesus answered, “It is not the healthy who need a doctor, but the sick.

32Nchekweza kuwetanga wantu wedi, iya wenye mavigaviga, wadahe kuhituka.”I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners, to repentance.”

33Wantu watuhu wakamwamba, “Wandima wa Yohana mbatiiza wehiniza kuda kiya maa na kuvika, na wandima wa Mafalisayo wagosoa ivyoivyo. Akini wahina wako wada na kudomea.”Then they said to Him, “John’s disciples and those of the Pharisees frequently fast and pray, but Yours keep on eating and drinking.”

34Yesu akawatambaisa, “Wada wagonekwao mwe ndoza khawakundigwa kwehiniza kuda kwaviya Zumbe wa ndoza yu hamwe nao?”Jesus replied, “Can you make the guests of the bridegroom fast while He is with them?

35Akini kisingi chendakibue ambaho Zumbe wa ndoza enda ausigwe gatigati yao, kisingi icho nee wendaho wehinize kuda.But the time will come when the bridegroom will be taken from them; then they will fast.”

36Yesu akawamba msimo unu, “Khahana mntu asengae kilaka mwe gwanda dihya na kuika mwe gwanda dekusakaado, inga akatenda ivyo endaawe kasenga ido dihya, na kida kilaka cha gwanda dihya khakina chendane na ido gwanda dekusakaado.He also told them a parable: “No one tears a piece of cloth from a new garment and sews it on an old one. If he does, he will tear the new garment as well, and the patch from the new will not match the old.

37Naho wantu khawageya divai mphya mwe mikwiji ya babu yekusakaayo, inga akatenda ivyo iyo divai mphya yendaitatue iyo mikwiji ya babu na divai yendayetike na mikwiji iyo yendaibanike.And no one pours new wine into old wineskins. If he does, the new wine will burst the skins, the wine will spill, and the wineskins will be ruined.

38Divai mphya yagewa mwe mikwiji ya babu mihya.Instead, new wine is poured into new wineskins.

39Khahana mntu atamiwaye kudomea divai mphya bada ya kudomea divai ya kae kwa kugombeka ‘Ida ya kae ni ntana muno.’ ”And no one after drinking old wine wants new, for he says, ‘The old is better.’”
