Luke 5 (EKA) · Opened

1Efung abehng eji Jisos yiimi go nkpe eto nyi Genesaret, ane kehm ba rur, jo fahd-e tv re bo wuk alum Esowo.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,

2Owo á kehm nyehne agbang na abal go elga. Abasahre nsahre eblohng go agbang nyao, song kehme arim ebo faare.He saw two boats at the edge of the lake. The fishermen had left them and were washing their nets.

3Á kehm song yel egbang abehng bi jolo bi Saimon, kehm-e tongo re, á reenge egbang feere go elka alahb. Owo á kehm jehke go egbang, jo tib ane bao.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.

4Eji á ma bung mal, owo á kehm tongo Saimon re, “Reenge egbang, song rehng edi ji kpꞌrahbe, wahn yake arim enyahne kak o, bob nsahre.”When Jesus had finished speaking, He said to Simon, “Put out into deep water and let down your nets for a catch.”

5Owo Saimon kehm-e faange re, “Nsoo, wahr eblim eltum atv atv maa ana tete, jol ejumjum e tikem bob. Wo, eji a ma bung ano, m bahke yake erim ebame kak.”“Master,” Simon replied, “we have worked hard all night without catching anything. But because You say so, I will let down the nets.”

6Eji bo ma lim ano, bo kehm bobo nsahre gbalee, erim kehm kehme elyare.When they had done so, they caught such a large number of fish that their nets began to tear.

7Owo bo kehm soro kehme atem ba woomo go egbang behko mahk re bo ba tob bo. Bo kehm bake, ba yehke nsahre nyio, ruru agbang abal abal, fere jol are agbang yahke ter.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.

8Eji Saimon Pita nyehne ano, á kehm gboko jamme Jisos alahng, kehm bungu re, “Ntul, jeere song, tibre me nne abiafem wo.”When Simon Peter saw this, he fell at Jesus’ knees. “Go away from me, Lord,” he said, “for I am a sinful man.”

9Tibre nkpokosi nyio jo kpo-e esi sehng, a ane bako kpee ba tob jolo a ne o, tib go elkohn nsahre nyi bo bobo no.For he and his companions were astonished at the catch of fish they had taken,

10Ano wo fvfo, Jems a Jon ba jolo abon Sibidi, bo ji jo lim eltum ano a Pita, jo tob kpo bo esi. Owo Jisos kehm tongo Saimon re, “Ka kpe fahl! Bomo anv asongo, a bahke fere jo bim ane.”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.”

11Eji bo ma tohng agbang ebo kunu egbuk, bo kehm tahme ejum ajehng ajehng sa, tahm toono Jisos.And when they had brought their boats ashore, they left everything and followed Him.

12Efung abehng eji Jisos jolo ejahbe ajehng, nne jolo ona, no abili saab-e na saabe go ngubjing. Á nyehne kan Jisos, á kehm gboko, kohk esamahr ebe go ndi, fere jo gboong-e re, “Ntul, lꞌfere kor-a, a li-m ma lim, n nob.”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.”

13Jisos kehm soro tanne ebo ebe, koor-e, kehm bungu re, “Kor-m kor. Wobnob!” Tvtv o á kehm soro nob abili nyao.Jesus reached out His hand and touched the man. “I am willing,” He said. “Be clean!” And immediately the leprosy left him.

14Owo Jisos kehm-e rehke re, á kꞌtong nne ne, fere tong-e re, “Song, wo song kpiri nlimajom, fere tib-e elna, fere lim njom ana Moses tongo no, tib eji a ma nob, eji lꞌjol ejum ntianse ka bo.”“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.”

15Tvtv o elgahm ni Jisos kpe yeere na budu. Nlong ane gbalee kehm jo kam, jo ba re bo jo wuk-e, fere jo nob ayam ebo.But the news about Jesus spread all the more, and great crowds came to hear Him and to be healed of their sicknesses.

16Jisos jo tahme, song rehng edi ji li soom, song kak ero.Yet He frequently withdrew to the wilderness to pray.

17Efung abehng eji Jisos jo tib, Bab Farisi, a atꞌtibi ba atahm tob ji ona, ba lohngo go ejahbe ajehng ajehng ji li go Galili, a Judea, fere tob lohng go Jeusalem ba. Nsahm nyi Esowo jolo a Jisos ona re á ko lim ane, bo nob ayam ebo.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.

18Ane kehm koko mbanne ba a ne, nyi bo sol-e go edilnong. Bo jo gare re bo yel a ne go ekpꞌkpa, song bum-e go alata Jisos.Just then some men came carrying a paralyzed man on a mat. They tried to bring him inside to set him before Jesus,

19Bo tingem mbang anyehng anyehng nyi bo bahke sehnge a ne tib ellong ane bao. Owo bo kehm wahre a ne go ero etahk, kehm song lahm elbulu, kehm tahre alehke nya bo kanne go edilnong jio tete ba rehng go elka ane bao, edi ji Jisos jolo no.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.

20Eji Jisos nyehne ana bo ma taame tv-e, owo á kehm bungu re, “Mbi, abiafem enya, me n tahm ka-a.”When Jesus saw their faith, He said, “Friend, your sins are forgiven.”

21Atꞌtibi ba atahm, a Bab Farisi kehm kehme elbungu atemtem re, “Anv, ye elkohn nne awo, no kpꞌbungu abꞌbi alum ana nyaa tob Esowo? Nne awo bahke ma tahm ka nne go ege abiafem? Esowo ntahngtahng bi bahke ma tahm ka nne go ege abiafem!”But the scribes and Pharisees began thinking to themselves, “Who is this man who speaks blasphemy? Who can forgive sins but God alone?”

22Eji Jisos ma seb kahn ana bo jo tir, owo á kehm faange bo re, “Elkohn ntir anyi ń kpꞌtiri go egahna ntim?Knowing what they were thinking, Jesus replied, “Why are you thinking these things in your hearts?

23Jen ji ga riidi, n lꞌtong nne noa re, ‘Abiafem enya me n tahm ka-a,’ afi n lꞌtong-e re, ‘Mehl yiimi, wo jen?’Which is easier: to say, ‘Your sins are forgiven,’ or to say, ‘Get up and walk’?

24M bahk-n tibi re, Mmon no nne kpi nsahm go njini nyia, nyi á bahke ma tahm ka nne go ege abiafem.” Owo á kehm tongo mbanne nyio re, “N kp-a tongo re, wo tahm, rod edilnong eja, song kehnge!”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.”

25Tvtv o nne noo kehm soro mehl yiimi go esamahr ane bao, rod edilnong ji á noongo no, tahm eje kehnge, jo tehk Esowo asongo.And immediately the man stood up before them, took what he had been lying on, and went home glorifying God.

26Ane bao kpee kpo bo esi area. Bo kehm kehme Esowo tehk afahlafahle, fere jo bung re, “Wahr ebnyehn akpokosi nsol lela.”Everyone was taken with amazement and glorified God. They were filled with awe and said, “We have seen remarkable things today.”

27Eji ma jol ano, Jisos kehm tahme, song nyehn nkokatak no bo jo lung-e re Livai jehk go ekpꞌkpa etak. Á kehm-e tongo re, “Tahm toon-m!”After this, Jesus went out and saw a tax collector named Levi sitting at the tax booth. “Follow Me,” He told him,

28Livai kehm tahme ejum ajehng ajehng sa, tahm toon-e.and Levi got up, left everything, and followed Him.

29Owo Livai kehm limi egburu elkak go ege etahk ka Jisos. Abakokatak gbalee tob jolo o, a ane bako fvfo, jo li nsol abo.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.

30Bab Farisi, a atꞌtibi ba atahm ba woomo go ellong Farisis kehm kehme elmemme tob abatꞌtoono Jisos re, “Jen ji wahnge ń kpo li nsol alehke a abakokatak, go aneb abꞌbi?”But the Pharisees and their scribes complained to Jesus’ disciples, “Why do you eat and drink with tax collectors and sinners?”

31Owo Jisos kehm faange bo re, “Ane ba li nob nob kpehme seb nlimakahm, sehngem ane ba kpꞌyame ba kpꞌsebe.Jesus answered, “It is not the healthy who need a doctor, but the sick.

32M baam re me m ba lung anoobo ane, bo gbo ndon. M ba re me m ba lung abi ane.”I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners, to repentance.”

33Egom ane bandiki kehm ba bahb Jisos re, “Jen ji wahnge abatꞌtoono Jon, a ba Farisis kpo bade elbo njal nkpel a nkpele, fere jo kak ero, abatꞌtoono eba kpo li na nsol, fere jo wꞌwo?”Then they said to Him, “John’s disciples and those of the Pharisees frequently fast and pray, but Yours keep on eating and drinking.”

34Owo Jisos kehm faange bo re, “Ḿ bahke limi renan, kehm tongo ane ba bo ma tiingi bo elkak elbal re bo ji njal ngare nyi nlumanne kpeke li a bo?Jesus replied, “Can you make the guests of the bridegroom fast while He is with them?

35Ngare kpꞌbake nyi bo bahke yehke nlumanne go bo ellong tahm a ne. Ngare nyio nyi bo bahke kehme elbo njal bade.”But the time will come when the bridegroom will be taken from them; then they will fast.”

36Jisos kehm kpe tub bo elgan re, “Nnene limm, no bahke koko mmojang mbomo no nfenfe, song baade nkꞌkula mbomo. Á lꞌlim ano, edi ji bo ko mmojang mbomo no nfenfe baade, bahke kpe kv na budu. Ejang mbomo nfenfe nehm fuumu a nkꞌkula mbomo.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.

37“Nnene limm fvfo, no bahke yaange amahm ma kpꞌfahle kak go nkꞌkohko eyahbe. Á lꞌlim ano, amahm mao ma kpꞌfahle bahke limi eyahbe jio bahnge, amahm sale, eyahbe rannge kpee.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.

38Amahm ma kpꞌfahle, bo bahke jo kak go eyahbe nfenfe.Instead, new wine is poured into new wineskins.

39Nnene limm, no kpo wo akꞌkulu amahm, amahm ma kpꞌfahle kehm-e kpe kor. Á bahke bungu re, ‘Akꞌkulu amahm ma ga nob.’ ”And no one after drinking old wine wants new, for he says, ‘The old is better.’”
