Luke 5 (IYX) · Opened

1Iluumbu imosi, Yiisu bu atemini nha peembi a diaanga la Ngenesareti, koongi yamupinyini mu uyuu mandaa ma Nziaambi.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,

2Nde amoni mabootu moolo mali nha simi la diaanga. Balobi ba batswi basutii mu mo mu uswaa masiele ma bo.He saw two boats at the edge of the lake. The fishermen had left them and were washing their nets.

3Yiisu akoti mu mosi mu mabootu maa, ni bootu la Simooni. Yiisu wamuloombi mu utakuu hoolo na simi. Yiisu adiaali mu bootu na abaandii uyiisi makoongi.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.

4Bu amani uyiisi, Yiisu aleeli kwaa Simooni: «Diyene nha maamba mali na musundu, didumunu masiele ma beni mu ubaa batswi.»When Jesus had finished speaking, He said to Simon, “Put out into deep water and let down your nets for a catch.”

5Simooni avutili, aleeli: «Muyiisi, bisi dimaasala butsuu bubiimbili, ka a dibayi iloo pe. Ka mu ndaa bu we leeli, me nidumunu masiele.»“Master,” Simon replied, “we have worked hard all night without catching anything. But because You say so, I will let down the nets.”

6Nha mbisi a udumunu masiele, bo babayi batswi balaa na masiele ma bo mabaandii ukakuu.When they had done so, they caught such a large number of fish that their nets began to tear.

7Bo bati bambaayi ba bo babali mu bootu lilikimi mbila, paa bababasila. Bo bayiri, baluusi mabootu mo mamoolo mu batswi, na mo makeni udiaama.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.

8Simooni Peetero bu amoni buu, atsukini nha kulu a Yiisu, aleeli: «Pfumu, matuu nha pele a me, mundaa ti me ni ngaa masumu!»When Simon Peter saw this, he fell at Jesus’ knees. “Go away from me, Lord,” he said, “for I am a sinful man.”

9Simooni na babali na nde bateeti mu boomo, mu ndaa iteesi kia batswi balaa kibabayi.For he and his companions were astonished at the catch of fish they had taken,

10Bambaayi ba Simooni ka: Yaki na Yowani, baana ba Zebedaayi bateeti mu boomo. Ka Yiisu aleeli kwaa Simooni: «A ba na boomo pe, umata lolo li, we saba mulobi a baata.»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.”

11Bu babeyi mabootu nha simi, bo basiisi bioosi, na baduki Yiisu.And when they had brought their boats ashore, they left everything and followed Him.

12Yiisu bu ali ku ngaanda mosi, muutu mosi wali nyutu yoosi yaluulu mu bwaari bu amoni nde, ayitsukunu nha kulu a nde, busu mu tsini. Nde wamuloombi, aleeli: «Pfumu, so we tooni, we utuu ubeelise me.»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.”

13Yiisu asibili koo, wamubeembi, na aleeli kwaa nde: «Me tooni, ki beeluu wa we.» Nhaa-na-tsi, bwaari uyaaba uwa.Jesus reached out His hand and touched the man. “I am willing,” He said. “Be clean!” And immediately the leprosy left him.

14Yiisu wamutumi: «A yaabisa ndaa yi kwaa muutu pe, ka yene yamonuu kwaa ngaanga a Nziaambi, na ha bungori mu ubeeluu kwa we, mbii bwatumi Mooso. Sa iba imbaangi kwaa 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.”

15Ka mvuungu a Yiisu yavuli utsaamuu. Makoongi malaa makukini mu uyuu nde na ubeeluu mu bibeeri bia bo.But the news about Jesus spread all the more, and great crowds came to hear Him and to be healed of their sicknesses.

16Ka nde makulu akiyene mu mambuu mahele a baata mu ukuundu.Yet He frequently withdrew to the wilderness to pray.

17Iluumbu imosi Yiisu akiyiisi. Bafarisi na bayiisi ba mikele bali nhaa. Bo bamati mu mala moosi ma Ngalili, ma Yuuda na mu Yeruselemi. Lituu la Pfumu lali na Yiisu, na ni mu lo nde akibeelese babeeri.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.

18Mono babaala babeyi nha yulu a mbuu, muutu wabobo binama, bo basiayi mu ulooso nde mutso nzo, na ubee nde nha kulu a Yiisu.Just then some men came carrying a paralyzed man on a mat. They tried to bring him inside to set him before Jesus,

19Bu bahele uyaaba nha bulooso nde mu nzo mu ndaa a koongi, bahaati ku yulu a siaangi la nzo. Bo batuli wuru na basutili mubeeri nha ikala kia nde nha kati a baata, na bamusuusi nha kulu a Yiisu.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.

20Yiisu bu amoni imiini kia bo, aleeli kwaa mubeeri: «Mbaayi a me, masumu ma we basiiri kolokolo.»When Jesus saw their faith, He said, “Friend, your sins are forgiven.”

21Ni mubuu, bayiisi ba mikele, na bafarisi na basonii ba bo babaandii utsimi na uleele ti: «Wuunawu ni na, uli mu utuu Nziaambi? Na utuu usa masumu kolokolo, mbii a ndila Nziaambi pe?»But the scribes and Pharisees began thinking to themselves, “Who is this man who speaks blasphemy? Who can forgive sins but God alone?”

22Yiisu ayaabi matsimi ma bo, wabaleeli: «Mu ima dili na matsimi ma pili yii?Knowing what they were thinking, Jesus replied, “Why are you thinking these things in your hearts?

23Ima kia avulu uleenge nha kati a uleele: “masumu ma we basiiri kolokolo” na “temene, yene wa we?”Which is easier: to say, ‘Your sins are forgiven,’ or to say, ‘Get up and walk’?

24Me natoono ti, beni diyaaba ti Mwaana a Muutu li na lituu la usa masumu kolokolo nha tsi.» Yiisu aleeli kwaa wa bobo binama: «Me ndeeli kwaa we: temene, holo ikala kia we, yene ku nzo a we.»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.”

25Nhaa-na-tsi, wa bobo binama uyaaba utemene nha kulu a baata boosi, aholi ikala kia nde, ayeni ku nzo a nde, akiinzi Nziaambi.And immediately the man stood up before them, took what he had been lying on, and went home glorifying God.

26Boosi bakimii, baluuli mu boomo, babili Nziaambi, baleeli: «Iluumbu ki dimoni mandaa ma kimikimi!»Everyone was taken with amazement and glorified God. They were filled with awe and said, “We have seen remarkable things today.”

27Nha mbisi a nhaa, Yiisu apali, amoni mutoli a limaanda, kuumbu a nde Levi, adiaala nha mbuu ya isala kia nde, Yiisu wamuleeli: «Duku me!»After this, Jesus went out and saw a tax collector named Levi sitting at the tax booth. “Follow Me,” He told him,

28Levi atemini, asiisi bioosi, na wamuduki.and Levi got up, left everything, and followed Him.

29Levi ayilii Yiisu ndaamba yinene mu nzo a nde. Batoli ba limaanda balaa na baata bakimi, badiaali na bo nha meese.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.

30Bafarisi na bayiisi ba mikele ba bo, banhunhinyi na baleeli kwaa miyii mia Yiisu: «Mu ima beni dibaadia na dibaanywa na batoli ba limaanda na bangaa masumu?»But the Pharisees and their scribes complained to Jesus’ disciples, “Why do you eat and drink with tax collectors and sinners?”

31Yiisu avutili, aleeli kwaa bo: «Baata bali polo a bali na nzala a mubuyi pe, ka ndila babeeri bali na nzala a nde.Jesus answered, “It is not the healthy who need a doctor, but the sick.

32Me a nayiri pe mu uta balibweeye mbili, ka bangaa masumu mu ndaa ukiingili bo mayele.»I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners, to repentance.”

33Bafarisi baleeli kwaa Yiisu: «Miyii mia Yowani na mia bisi mibaadii mutuutu, na mibaakuundu, ka mia we mibaadia na mibaanywa.»Then they said to Him, “John’s disciples and those of the Pharisees frequently fast and pray, but Yours keep on eating and drinking.”

34Yiisu avutili kwaa bo, aleeli: «Buni beni dituu utumu babayiri ku mukuungi a makweele mu udii mutuutu, mu taanga di mufuru a makweele akeni na bo?Jesus replied, “Can you make the guests of the bridegroom fast while He is with them?

35Ka mu taanga di bakaamaasa mufuru a makweele nha kati a bo, mu biluumbu bii, bo sa badii mutuutu.»But the time will come when the bridegroom will be taken from them; then they will fast.”

36Yiisu abwita bo tsaba yi: «Muutu a ubaakaka iteendi pe mu ilwaata ki inyatii, na ubaamba kio nha ilwaata ki ikulu. Leeti, nde sa abiiyisi ikutu ki inyatii, mundaa ti, iteendi ki inyatii a kiafwaana na ikutu ki ikulu pe.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.

37Pili mosi, muutu a ubaalooso pe viinyi lilinyatii mu mambiindi ma makulu. Ka so nde loosi lo, viinyi lilinyatii sa libulu mambiindi, lo makulu sa litsaamuu na mambiindi sa mabuluu.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.

38Ka viinyi lilinyatii lafwaana mu mambiindi mamanyatii.Instead, new wine is poured into new wineskins.

39A uli na muutu pe wuli mu ubwatoono viinyi lilinyatii, nha mbisi a unywa lilikulu. Mu ngwanya, nde sa aleele ti: viinyi lilikulu lavulu mu bubwe.»And no one after drinking old wine wants new, for he says, ‘The old is better.’”
