Luke 5 (KHJ) · Opened

1Upyu ʊnʊng sini Iyesu titing bi ikwo irɔng Ijennesaret orokru ko tuno ekǝkǝri ngɛ asu kung ʊring Ʊnʊng.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,

2Iyesu ko rong ɔgɔrʊ omung apari bo onuo omung arʊ abran sheriyo akyamo ukurho ukǝlimo.He saw two boats at the edge of the lake. The fishermen had left them and were washing their nets.

3Iyesu ka raa bidɔɔ ʊgɔrʊ uying ʊmi Isimon ka sɔrhɔ ɛngɛɛ ni a taa avu ngɛ naji bau ʊtʊng ibʊng. Ikpara dang Iyesu ka kiki kasu mɛr orokru bidɔɔ ɛkǝri ʊgɔrʊ omung.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.

4Akywa sini ɛkywɛri ʊpya onuo aka sani Isimon ngɛ, “Ojoying ni ɛkǝri ʊgɔrʊ omung kyaa owro sini ani ikwoo ngɛ efer ukǝli akpin utofuru.”When Jesus had finished speaking, He said to Simon, “Put out into deep water and let down your nets for a catch.”

5Isimon ko yoro, “Avʊwa, arʊ sa ʊtʊna nagang kukum ating baw ʊkpin iririma. Uba sani kǝna Ini fen ɛkǝri ukǝli.”“Master,” Simon replied, “we have worked hard all night without catching anything. But because You say so, I will let down the nets.”

6Ni sini asi kǝna, aka kpin otofuru napany sini ukǝli mo kasu garamo.When they had done so, they caught such a large number of fish that their nets began to tear.

7Aka yirha orobyomo sini ani ʊwan ʊgɔrʊ omung ni ivu ni aba ɛshɛmɔ ngɛ, aka ba ɛtirɛ ɛkǝri ɔgɔrʊ apapari ɛtitirɛ sini atʊ mirimɔ.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.

8Akywa sini Isimon Ibitrus rii kǝn aka kpaa okpukporo ni orung bi ite Iyesu ka sani, “Kyanw eshirem, Ete; Ini arʊya ngɛ!”When Simon Peter saw this, he fell at Jesus’ knees. “Go away from me, Lord,” he said, “for I am a sinful man.”

9Kii Ingɛɛ kǝni orobyoo ejijire ni akai otofuru sini akpin,For he and his companions were astonished at the catch of fish they had taken,

10kǝnawo Iyakubu kǝni Iyohana, ɔnɔ Izebedi, orobyoo ʊtina Ibitrus ejijire ngɛ kamo. Iyesu kasani Isimon ni, “Bekya kung Irung, bai kaimen men ʊni kpir orokru mo.”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.”

11Aka wara ɔgɔrʊ omung mo ba bi ʊvra ibʊng, kǝshere kukum ʊmamɔ ko kroo ngɛ.And when they had brought their boats ashore, they left everything and followed Him.

12Akywa sini Iyesu ni bi idɔɔ opyo apya, opyo orokru ka ba arʊ sini udumo ʊkɔng koo. Ni sini erii Iyesu ngɛ aka kpaa ni itirite be ibʊng, ɔkɔ sɔrhɔ ngɛ, “Ete, uba yoro ʊmam ikrʊ.”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.”

13Iyesu ka naa avu apya ɛkǝri orokru asani, “Iyoro, sa akrʊ.” Akywakywa dang ɛkǝri udumo ʊra owro kǝ shere ngɛ.Jesus reached out His hand and touched the man. “I am willing,” He said. “Be clean!” And immediately the leprosy left him.

14Iyesu kɔ wɔɔ atʊng asani “Bekya atana araru. Kya eyeyen ʊkanw eberi ogoku ubyen Ʊnʊng, ama ikara kǝni sini Imusa tii ogro ni imu kurho,” Inyina nuyen mo asani upen ikrʊ.“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.”

15Ʊring sini asi ka fwa ko kyu ubee bi idɔɔ anakywa, sini eshi orokru ka ba ʊkʊngwɔ adarha upen ikrʊ bai idumo mo.But the news about Jesus spread all the more, and great crowds came to hear Him and to be healed of their sicknesses.

16Iyesu rɛn ukyaa owro sini orokru samɔ ngɛ aya ɔsɔrhɔ Ʊnʊng.Yet He frequently withdrew to the wilderness to pray.

17Ʊpyu Ʊnʊng sini Iyesu ku mɛr, opyo Afarisiya kǝni avʊwa ʊmɛr ogro Imusa onuo akiki burha. A bi bai kukum apyang Igalili kǝni Iyahudiya adarhi Urushelima. Ikrʊ Ete ni kǝni Iyesu ngɛ imu ma arʊ ra ikrʊ.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.

18Opyo orokru ko kong arʊ ʊra ba ba aya aban aka waw ʊraa ne ngɛ bidɔɔ ʊna ayara ngɛ bi ite Iyesu.Just then some men came carrying a paralyzed man on a mat. They tried to bring him inside to set him before Jesus,

19Ni sini enepenmo ʊtʊra ʊsakǝna bekai ushi orokru, aka kirhamo ni ɛngɛɛ baya ʊbɔrʊ ka ta igara bi ʊsɔrɔ oko shuro ni ɛngɛɛ bi aya aban ngɛ abarating ushi orokru itituku bi ite Iyesu.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.

20Ni sini Iyesu rii ʊma ʊbrʊbrʊmo. Aka sani ɛkǝri arʊ ʊra ni “Orokyorom apʊnanw ʊyanw ngɛ.”When Jesus saw their faith, He said, “Friend, your sins are forgiven.”

21Ɛkǝri Afarisiya kǝni Avʊwa ʊmɛr ogro Imusa kasu wɔrɔfo bi idɔɔ opyomo ni, “Iyaa we aku pya onuo kǝni ʊtira ngɛ ni? Iyaa nʊ bra ʊpʊna ʊya ngɛ? Yip Ʊnʊng ngɛ eyeyie amaa ʊsa kǝna.”But the scribes and Pharisees began thinking to themselves, “Who is this man who speaks blasphemy? Who can forgive sins but God alone?”

22Iyesu kperhi ʊwɔrɔfomo ngɛ oko gyurho mo asani “Ikisi nyi ku wɔrɔfo ʊring men bi idɔɔ ikywiny?Knowing what they were thinking, Jesus replied, “Why are you thinking these things in your hearts?

23Ikinayo isayo iraa ʊpɛrɛ, asani: ‘Apʊnanw ʊyanw ngɛ,’ kii asani, ‘Shinɛ a kyanw?’Which is easier: to say, ‘Your sins are forgiven,’ or to say, ‘Get up and walk’?

24Yip Iwei ni nyi kperhi ngɛ asani ɔnɔ orokru ni ikrʊ ʊpʊna ʊya ngɛ bi eyesing.” Ni kǝna akasani ɛkǝri arʊ ʊra sini anabraa ukyeng,“Itananw, shinɛ, akpara aban nwu akyanw ʊduna.”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.”

25Akywakywa dang ekǝ shinɛ bi itemo, ka kpara ima ʊsʊ yari ngɛ ka kyaa ʊduna asu dɔɔ Ʊnʊng ngɛ.And immediately the man stood up before them, took what he had been lying on, and went home glorifying God.

26Kukum orokru kǝ jijire kasu dɔɔ Ʊnʊng ngɛ. Aka kung irung ngɛ nagang asani, “Arʊ rong ʊʊma ujijire ededei echiye.”Everyone was taken with amazement and glorified God. They were filled with awe and said, “We have seen remarkable things today.”

27Kǝ kywɛrɛ kǝna Iyesu ka kyaa esing ko rong arʊ yirha ogon sini a yirhi ʊtʊwa ngɛ ni Ilevi akiki bi ʊbɔrʊ ʊyirha ogon ngɛ Iyesu kasani ɛngɛɛ ni, “kroomi ngɛ.”After this, Jesus went out and saw a tax collector named Levi sitting at the tax booth. “Follow Me,” He told him,

28Ilevi kǝshine, eshere ʊʊma kukum okroo ngɛ.and Levi got up, left everything, and followed Him.

29Ilevi kǝ kyene Iyesu ngɛ ipara irirɛ bi idɔɔ ʊnaa, ushi arʊ yirha ogon ʊrʊrɛ kǝni opyoo arʊ kasu ra ʊmʊra kǝni omo ngɛ.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.

30Yip Afarisiya kǝni avʊwa ʊmɛr ogro Imusa ka yen uwure mo bi ikywi ɔnɔ ʊmɛr Iyesu ni, “Ikisi inyi ku ra ʊmʊra asu sa kǝni arʊ yirha ogon adarha arʊya men?”But the Pharisees and their scribes complained to Jesus’ disciples, “Why do you eat and drink with tax collectors and sinners?”

31Iyesu ko yoro mo, “Arʊ sini anakru ana waa ngɛ Avuwa ʊʊma ikang, arʊ sini asaa akrʊ ngɛ ɛwɛi avuwa ʊʊma ikang.Jesus answered, “It is not the healthy who need a doctor, but the sick.

32Ise bam ʊyirha arʊ sa nɛgbɛn, ibii ʊyirha arʊya aki etere eshere ʊya ngɛ.”I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners, to repentance.”

33Opyoo orokru kasani Iyesu ngɛ ni, “Ɔnɔ ʊmɛr Iyohana akirhi ukusoro kǝni ʊsɔrhɔ Ʊnʊng kǝnawo ɔnɔ mɛr Afarisiya. Yip ɔnwɔ karana asu ra kǝni ʊsawɔ?”Then they said to Him, “John’s disciples and those of the Pharisees frequently fast and pray, but Yours keep on eating and drinking.”

34Iyesu ko yoro mo kasani “Inyi nʊ sa orokyoro arʊ sini owo lorho ubara ukusoro arʊ lorho ubara shoo kǝni ɔmɔɔ?Jesus replied, “Can you make the guests of the bridegroom fast while He is with them?

35Yip akywa yeba ba sini anu kpara orokru sini owo lorho ubara ngɛ baa owromo; ba awri dang moo anu kusoro.”But the time will come when the bridegroom will be taken from them; then they will fast.”

36Iyesu ka tana mo ushosho wen: “Baa arʊ sini anu gara ʊtʊgbɛ bi igbɛ isa onuro bi ititɛn. Arʊ sini abasa kǝna, anu bura ɛkǝri igbɛ isa ngɛ, kǝnawo ɛkǝri ʊtʊgbɛ bai igbɛ isa ʊnasu kyawo igbɛ iteny ngɛ ba.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.

37Kǝnawo baa ararʊ sini anu tere asira bidɔɔ obom ʊwɔws ɛtɛng. Aba sakǝna asira nʊ vɛrhɛ ɛkǝri obom ʊwɔw ɛtɛng ngɛ. Ɛkǝri asira nu kuno mo ɛkǝri obom ʊwɔw nʊ burayo.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.

38Itɔɔyɔ akʊna asira bidɔɔ obom ʊwɔw ʊsa kǝnawɔ kukum mo nʊ ki akrʊ.Instead, new wine is poured into new wineskins.

39Kǝnawɔ ba arʊ sini ɛbɛ kwɛrɛ ʊsa asira ɛtɛng anʊ waa ʊsa asa, kii asi ni, ‘Ɛtɛng ni agyang.’ ”And no one after drinking old wine wants new, for he says, ‘The old is better.’”
