Luke 5 (IKZ) · Opened

1Rusikʉ rʉmwɨ, Yɨɨsu aarɨ imiiriirɨ rusizʉ wɨ ɨnyanza ya Genezarɨti, ɨnʉ ariija riribhita rya abhaatʉ ɨngʼana ya Mungu. Bhakabha bharamwisukɨra, korereke bhamwigwɨ, kuhika bhakamurimbya.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,

2Na rusizʉ wɨ ɨnyanza hayo, Yɨɨsu akarora ubhwatʉ abhɨrɨ, abhawɨsɨni bhaarɨ bharuurɨ mubhwatʉ, bharooja zenzero zaabhʉ.He saw two boats at the edge of the lake. The fishermen had left them and were washing their nets.

3Akatiira mubhwatʉ bhʉmwɨ, bhʉnʉ bhwarɨ bhwa Simʉʉni, akasabha Simʉʉni abhuhirɨ kore hasuuhu mʉnyanza. Yɨɨsu aarɨ achamariirya kʉbharagɨrɨra abhaatʉ, ɨnʉ iikɨɨrɨ mubhwatʉ.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.

4Hanʉ aamarirɨ kʉbharagɨrɨra, akabhʉʉrɨra Simʉʉni na abhakɨndichazɨ, “Mʉgʉhɨ ubhwatʉ, tujɨ gatɨ wɨ ɨnyanza, mwichɨ zenzero zaanyu, motege ziiswɨ.”When Jesus had finished speaking, He said to Simon, “Put out into deep water and let down your nets for a catch.”

5Simʉʉni akagarukirya, “Ʉmʉkʉrʉ, tʉkʉrirɨ emeremo ubhutikʉ nyangima, tʉtabhwɨnɨ kegero! Nawe, kʉ kʉbha naawɨ umbuuriirɨ, niriicha zenzero.”“Master,” Simon replied, “we have worked hard all night without catching anything. But because You say so, I will let down the nets.”

6Mmbe, hanʉ Simʉʉni na abhakɨndichazɨ bhiichiryɨ zenzero zaabhʉ mʉmanzi, bhakahaatya ziiswɨ nzaru bhʉkʉngʼu, kuhika zenzero zaabhʉ zɨkatanga kʉbhaarʉka.When they had done so, they caught such a large number of fish that their nets began to tear.

7Ɨkagirya bhanʉngɨ amabhoko kʉbhabhɨrɨkɨra abhakɨndichabhʉ, bhanʉ bhaarɨ mubhwatʉ ʉbhʉndɨ, bhaazɨ kʉbhasakirya. Bhakaaza, bhakiizurya ubhwatʉ bhʉbhɨrɨ ziiswɨ, kuhika bhokeenda kʉtʉbhɨra.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.

8Simʉʉni Peetero, hanʉ aarʉʉzɨ gayo, akagwɨra Yɨɨsu mʉmagʉrʉ, akamʉbhʉʉrɨra, “Ʉmʉkʉrʉ ʉtasaaga na niinyɨ, kʉ kʉbha, inyɨ nɨ‑wʉ ʉbhʉbhɨ!”When Simon Peter saw this, he fell at Jesus’ knees. “Go away from me, Lord,” he said, “for I am a sinful man.”

9Simʉʉni akagamba amangʼana gayo, kʉ kʉbha ewe na abhakɨndichazɨ, bhakarʉgʉʉra bhʉkʉngʼu kubhwaru bhwa ziiswɨ zɨnʉ bhahaatiryɨ.For he and his companions were astonished at the catch of fish they had taken,

10Kwarɨ na abhaana bha Zebhedaayo, Yaakobho na Yoohana, bharatega hamwɨmwɨ na Simʉʉni, bhʉʉsi bhakarʉgʉʉra. Neho Yɨɨsu akabhʉʉrɨra Simʉʉni, “Ʉtʉʉbhaha! Kwɨma reero yɨnʉ, ʉrabha ʉrawesena abhaatʉ.”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.”

11Neho Simʉʉni na abhakɨndichazɨ bhakagarucha ubhwatʉ kukihuukʉ, bhakatiga ebhegero bhyabhʉ bhyʉsi, bhakatuna Yɨɨsu.And when they had brought their boats ashore, they left everything and followed Him.

12Hanʉ Yɨɨsu aarɨ mʉrʉbhɨri rʉmwɨ, akaaza ʉmʉʉtʉ wʉmwɨ wʉnʉ aarɨ ne ebhegenge mʉbhɨrɨ gwʉsi. Hanʉ ʉmʉʉtʉ wuyo aarʉʉzɨ Yɨɨsu, akamugwɨra mʉmagʉrʉ, akiisasaama, “Ʉmʉkʉrʉ, ʉraasɨɨgɨ, ʉratʉra kʉmbɨngukya.”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.”

13Yɨɨsu akagorora okobhoko kwazɨ, akamukunʼyaku, akamʉbhʉʉrɨra, “Nɨsɨɨgirɨ. Bhɨngukibhwa!” Hayohayo, akahora ebhegenge bhyazɨ.Jesus reached out His hand and touched the man. “I am willing,” He said. “Be clean!” And immediately the leprosy left him.

14Yɨɨsu akamorecha, “Ʉtabhʉʉrɨra mʉʉtʉ wʉwʉʉsi! Nawe, nuujɨ wiiyeerekenʼye kwa kuhaani, uhuruchɨ ikimweso chʉ ʉkʉbhɨngukibhwa kwazʉ, chɨmbu Musa aaswajiryɨ, kwerecha abhaatʉ kʉbha ʉbhɨngukiibhwɨ.”“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.”

15Nawe, ɨngʼana ya Yɨɨsu ɨkangʼeha komenyekana bhʉkʉngʼu kʉbhaatʉ. Bhaarɨ bharamujaku maribhita maaru, bhabhone kwitegeerera imigirʉ jazɨ, na kʉhʉribhwa amarwɨrɨ gaabhʉ.But the news about Jesus spread all the more, and great crowds came to hear Him and to be healed of their sicknesses.

16Nawe, Yɨɨsu aarɨ arabhatiga na kuja ahagero hanʉ hataana abhaatʉ kʉsabha Mungu.Yet He frequently withdrew to the wilderness to pray.

17Rusikʉ rʉmwɨ, Yɨɨsu aarɨ ariija abhaatʉ, na gatɨ waabhʉ bhaarɨ bhiikɨɨrɨ Abhafarisaayo, hamwɨmwɨ na abhiija bhi imigirʉ. Bhaarɨ bharuurɨ mʉzɨmbɨri za Gariraaya, Yudeya, na abhandɨ Yɨrusarɨɨmu. Yɨɨsu aarɨ nʉ ʉbhʉnaja bhwʉ Ʉmʉkʉrʉ Mungu bhwo okohorya abharwɨrɨ.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.

18Neho bhakaaza abhaatʉ bhagɨgirɨ ʉmʉʉtʉ wʉnʉ aarɨ akuurɨ ibhiimʉ, ahindiirɨ kʉkɨragʉ. Bhakeenda kumusikirya munyumba, korereke bhamʉtʉʉrɨ mʉbhʉtangɨ bhwa Yɨɨsu.Just then some men came carrying a paralyzed man on a mat. They tried to bring him inside to set him before Jesus,

19Nawe ɨtatʉrɨkɨɨnɨ, kʉ kʉbha ya riribhita ikʉrʉ. Neho bhakatiira kwitiirɨrʉ, bhakahika kwirengo ryi inyumba, bhagɨgirɨ ʉmʉʉtʉ wuyo. Hanʉ bhaarɨ igʉrʉ, bhakahobhora ɨkɨbhanga kɨkʉrʉ, bhakaruusha ʉbhʉnyaaki kʉkɨsara, bhakamwicha mʉbhʉtangɨ bhwa Yɨɨsu, gatɨ wa abhaatʉ bhayo bhʉʉsi.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.

20Hanʉ Yɨɨsu aarʉʉzɨ ubhwisirirya bhwabhʉ, akamʉbhʉʉrɨra, “Mʉsaani waanɨ, ihaana umwʉyʉ, ʉbhʉbhɨ bhwazʉ bhʉbhɨɨrɨɨrwɨ.”When Jesus saw their faith, He said, “Friend, your sins are forgiven.”

21Abhiija bhi imigirʉ na Abhafarisaayo bhayo, rogendo rʉmwɨ bhakatanga kʉrɨrɨɨrɨra mumyʉyʉ, “Nɨ‑wɨɨwɨ wuyo? Ndora aragamba amangʼana go okorega Mungu? Atareeho ʉmʉʉtʉ wʉnʉ akʉtʉra kobheerera ʉbhʉbhɨ, nawe Mungu umwene!”But the scribes and Pharisees began thinking to themselves, “Who is this man who speaks blasphemy? Who can forgive sins but God alone?”

22Yɨɨsu akamenya ganʉ bhaarɨ bhakwiseega, akabhabhuurya, “Kwakɨ muriiseegabhu mumyʉyʉ janyu?Knowing what they were thinking, Jesus replied, “Why are you thinking these things in your hearts?

23Awɨ, ni‑ryahe rinyʉʉhu, kʉmʉbhʉʉrɨra, ‘Ʉbhʉbhɨ bhwazʉ bhʉbhɨɨrɨɨrwɨ,’ kisha kʉmʉbhʉʉrɨra, ‘Imɨɨrɨra, ogende’?Which is easier: to say, ‘Your sins are forgiven,’ or to say, ‘Get up and walk’?

24Inyɨ nereenda momenye bhwaheene kʉbha, Umwana wʉ Ʉmʉʉtʉ ahɨɨrwɨ ʉbhʉnaja bhwo okobheerera ʉbhʉbhɨ kʉʉsɨ.” Akʉmara Yɨɨsu akabhʉʉrɨra ʉmʉʉtʉ wuyo, “Nɨrakʉbhʉʉrɨra, imɨɨrɨra! Gega ɨkɨragʉ chazʉ, ogende yɨɨka.”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.”

25Hayohayo, ʉmʉʉtʉ wuyo akiimɨɨrɨra mʉbhʉtangɨ bhwa abhaatʉ bhayo. Akiitwɨka ɨkɨragʉ chazɨ kɨnʉ aarɨ ahindiriirɨ, akaja munyumba, ɨnʉ aragʉnga Mungu.And immediately the man stood up before them, took what he had been lying on, and went home glorifying God.

26Abhaatʉ bhʉʉsi bhayo, bhakarʉgʉʉra bhʉkʉngʼu na kugwatwa nu ubhwʉbha. Hamwɨmwɨ na gayo, bhaarɨ bharagʉnga Mungu, bharabhuga, “Bhamura! Reero, tʉrʉʉzɨ amahyoro!”Everyone was taken with amazement and glorified God. They were filled with awe and said, “We have seen remarkable things today.”

27Hanʉ gayo gaasirirɨ, Yɨɨsu akarwa munyumba, akarora umurihya wa rigʉʉti wʉmwɨ, iriina ryazɨ Raawi, aarɨ ikɨɨrɨ mwibhuru ryu ukurihya rigʉʉti. Yɨɨsu akamʉbhʉʉrɨra, “Ntuna!”After this, Jesus went out and saw a tax collector named Levi sitting at the tax booth. “Follow Me,” He told him,

28Rogendo rʉmwɨ akiimɨɨrɨra, akatiga bhyʉsi, akamutuna.and Levi got up, left everything, and followed Him.

29Akʉmara, Raawi akakorera Yɨɨsu ɨnyangi kʉrʉ munyumba yaazɨ. Munyumba muyo, bhakiibhiringa abharihya bha rigʉʉti bhaaru, na abhaatʉ abhandɨ bhanʉ bhaarɨ bhararya igari rɨmwɨ.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.

30Ɨkagirya Abhafarisaayo, na abhiija bhaabhʉ bhi imigirʉ, bhakaja kwibheerya kʉbhɨɨga bha Yɨɨsu, bhakabhuga, “Ndora mʉrarya na kunywa hamwɨmwɨ na abharihya bha rigʉʉti na abhakʉri bhʉ ʉbhʉbhɨ?”But the Pharisees and their scribes complained to Jesus’ disciples, “Why do you eat and drink with tax collectors and sinners?”

31Yɨɨsu akabhagarukirya, “Abhaatʉ abhahʉru bhatakwenda ʉmʉgabhʉ, nawe abharwɨrɨ nebho bhakumwenda!Jesus answered, “It is not the healthy who need a doctor, but the sick.

32Inyɨ nitiizirɨ kʉbhɨrɨkɨra bhe eheene, nawe bhʉ ʉbhʉbhɨ, bhiichʉrɨrɨ Mungu.”I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners, to repentance.”

33Abhafarisaayo na abhiija bhi migirʉ, bhakabhʉʉrɨra Yɨɨsu, “Abhɨɨga bha Yoohana Ʉmʉbhatiizi bhariiyima kurya manga kaaru na kʉsabha Mungu. Na abhɨɨga bha Abhafarisaayo, bhʉʉsi bhahaakorabhu. Nawe abhɨɨga bhaazʉ, bhatakwiyima, bhararya na kunywa!”Then they said to Him, “John’s disciples and those of the Pharisees frequently fast and pray, but Yours keep on eating and drinking.”

34Yɨɨsu akabhagarukirya, “Abhahɨrɨɨkɨrɨri bhu umukwɨri bhaheenderwa kwiyima kurya, bharɨ hamwɨmwɨ nu umukwɨri?Jesus replied, “Can you make the guests of the bridegroom fast while He is with them?

35Nawe urusikʉ rʉraaza umukwɨri araruusibhwa gatɨ wa abhagini bhaazɨ. Muzisikʉ ziyo, neho bhakʉbha bhariiyima kurya.”But the time will come when the bridegroom will be taken from them; then they will fast.”

36Yɨɨsu akabhabhʉʉrɨra ekerenjo ɨkɨndɨ, “Ʉkʉsanja amiija gaanɨ amahya na zisimʉka zaanyu kʉratuubhana nʉ ʉkʉtʉʉra ɨkɨraka che engebho iihya kongebho ikungu. Nʉ ʉmʉʉtʉ araakorebhu, arabha atarandwirɨ engebho yaazɨ bhʉʉha. Nɨ ɨkɨraka kirya che engebho iihya kɨtakwisiriranʼya ne engebho ikungu.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“Na atareeho ʉmʉʉtʉ wʉnʉ akʉtʉra kʉtʉʉra idivaayi iihya mʉbhɨgʉzi bhya amaseero amakungu. Na araakorebhu, idivaayi iihya ɨraatya ɨbhɨgʉzi bhiyo, iriitɨka, nɨ ɨbhɨgʉzi bhiyo bhɨrasarɨka.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.

38Nawe idivaayi iihya, ereenderwa ʉtʉʉrɨ mʉbhɨgʉzi bhya riseero riihya!Instead, new wine is poured into new wineskins.

39“Nʉ ʉmʉʉtʉ wʉnʉ anarirɨ idivaayi yɨ ɨkarɨ, atahiigomba idivaayi iihya. Arabhuga, ‘Idivaayi yɨ ɨkarɨ neyo ɨnzʉmu.’ ”And no one after drinking old wine wants new, for he says, ‘The old is better.’”
