Luke 5 (LAG) · Opened

1Sikʉ ɨmwɨ, Yéesu ajáa ɨɨma mbarɨmbarɨ ya iriva ra Genesaréeti, kʉnʉ yoovariyʉla isáare ra Mʉlʉʉngʉ. Vaantʉ ˆvarɨ foo vakamʉrɨɨngɨrɨra mpaka vakaanda kʉmʉfenyenkererya.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,

2Aho, akoona mashʉ́wa ivɨrɨ ˆjiri mbarɨmbarɨ ya iriva. Ijo mashʉ́wa, vavúuvi vaachwe vajáa vakíimire noo kooyya njwaavu jaavo.He saw two boats at the edge of the lake. The fishermen had left them and were washing their nets.

3Yéesu akɨɨngɨra mashúwii ɨmwɨ. Ɨyo mashʉ́wa nɨ ya Simóoni ɨjáa. Yéesu akamʉloomba Simóoni ɨɨkʉndʉle kiduudi na luujii. Aho, Yéesu akiikala mashúwii, maa de ɨndookiindya mpuka ya vaantʉ.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.

4ˆAkahʉmʉle kukiindya, maa akamʉsea Simóoni, “Hende, twaala mashʉ́wa na maajii malɨɨhɨ, aho, maa de mukiimye njwaavu jaanyu mʉkwaate soompa.”When Jesus had finished speaking, He said to Simon, “Put out into deep water and let down your nets for a catch.”

5Simóoni akamʉsea, “Aka Aaɨ, tatʉ́mamire chɨrɨrɨ baa turya kɨɨntʉ tʉkʉ. Maa kaa, kwa isáare raako kiimya ndɨrɨ njwaavu.”“Master,” Simon replied, “we have worked hard all night without catching anything. But because You say so, I will let down the nets.”

6Simóoni na viivaachwe ˆvakakiimye njwaavu, vakakwaata soompa ˆjamema maatʉkʉ vii mpaka njwaavu jikaanda dʉmʉka.When they had done so, they caught such a large number of fish that their nets began to tear.

7Sa jeyyo, vakavaanɨrɨra viivaavo ˆvajáa na mashʉ́wa yɨɨngɨ, vʉʉje jɨ vavaambɨre. Vakʉʉja, vakamemya soompa mashʉ́wa joosi ivɨrɨ mpaka jikasengerera nyɨmɨra.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.

8Simóoni Peéteri ˆakoone masáare ayo, akachwaama mbere ya Yéesu maa akasea, “Aaɨ Mʉkʉ́lʉ, looka kwaanɨ, nɨɨnɨ ndɨrɨ mʉvɨ.”When Simon Peter saw this, he fell at Jesus’ knees. “Go away from me, Lord,” he said, “for I am a sinful man.”

9Simóoni na viivaachwe vajáa vahwáalariiwe maatʉkʉ nɨ soompa ˆngʼeene vajáa vakwáatire.For he and his companions were astonished at the catch of fish they had taken,

10Vɨɨngɨ ˆvajáa vahwaalala nɨ vala Yaakúupu na Yooháani vaana va Sebedáayo. Ava vatʉmamanʼyáa na Simóoni. Aho, Yéesu akamʉsea Simóoni, “Simóoni, koofa tʉkʉ, kwaandɨra haaha kʉva ʉrɨ muvúuvi wa vaantʉ.”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.”

11ˆVakajitwaale mashʉ́wa na mbarɨmbarɨ ya iriva, vakareka kɨra kɨɨntʉ, vakamutuuba Yéesu.And when they had brought their boats ashore, they left everything and followed Him.

12Sikʉ ɨmwɨ, Yéesu ajáa atamanya na múujii ʉmwɨ. Ʉko, mʉʉntʉ ʉmwɨ ˆahaambwa nɨ ʉlóónda mʉvɨrɨ woosi akʉʉja na kʉrɨ Yéesu, akachwaama mbere yaachwe akiinamya kisho chaachwe fʉʉrʉ ɨsɨ. Akiiloombererya yoosea, “Aaɨ, koonɨ woosaaka, ifaanaa ʉkaanjirʉla ndwáala yaanɨ.”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.”

13Yéesu akiinurirya mʉkono waachwe, akamʉsaasya, kʉnʉ yoosea, “Noosaaka, ujirʉlwe!” Hahara, ʉlóónda ʉkafuma muvirii waachwe, akahola.Jesus reached out His hand and touched the man. “I am willing,” He said. “Be clean!” And immediately the leprosy left him.

14Aho, Yéesu akamʉlairirya yoosea, “Karɨ umuwyɨ́ɨraa mʉʉntʉ yoyoosi isáare ɨrɨ tʉkʉ, maa kaa, tamanya ukiiyónekye kwa mweeneɨsɨ wa Ijʉva, ʉtoole na mpóryo yo jirʉlwa, ja ˆvyeene Mʉ́sa alairirya, sa vataange kɨmaarɨ ʉhórire.”“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.”

15Baa jeyyo, masáare ya Yéesu yakaariwa kɨra haantʉ. Mpuka nkʉʉlʉ ja vaantʉ jiijiingáa kʉmʉteerera na vahoriwáa ndwáala jaavo.But the news about Jesus spread all the more, and great crowds came to hear Him and to be healed of their sicknesses.

16Maa kaa, Yéesu avarekáa na adomáa na kijiraawii noo mʉloomba Mʉlʉʉngʉ.Yet He frequently withdrew to the wilderness to pray.

17Sikʉ ɨmwɨ, Yéesu avavariyʉrɨráa vaantʉ Masáare ˆYarɨ Mpeho. Vamwɨ va vaantʉ vamʉteereráa, nɨ Mafarisáayo na vakiindya va Miiro vajáa. Avo Mafarisáayo na vakiindya vajáa vafuma kɨra ituri ra Galiláaya, Yudéea na múujii wa Yerusaléemu. Lʉvɨro lwa Ijʉva nɨ na Yéesu lʉjáa sa ahorye vaantʉ.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.

18Vaantʉ vamwɨ vakʉʉja viínwɨɨre mʉlwɨ́ɨrɨ ʉmwɨ na ndɨrɨ yaachwe. Ʉhʉ mʉlwɨ́ɨrɨ ajáa aakwya iyandiyandi. Vakasaaka vamwiingirye na nyuumbii kʉʉntʉ ˆajáa Yéesu.Just then some men came carrying a paralyzed man on a mat. They tried to bring him inside to set him before Jesus,

19Maa kaa, vakasiindwa kumwiingirya sa vaantʉ vajáa vamémire mʉnʉmʉʉnʉ. Aho, vakaambʉka nɨ ikekeerii, vakabontola ikekeera hara kʉʉntʉ Yéesu ˆajáa, vakamukiimirya ʉra mʉlwɨ́ɨrɨ na ndɨrɨ yaachwe, maa vakamʉvɨɨka heehi na Yéesu.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.

20Yéesu ˆakoone kuruma kwaavo, akamʉsea ʉra mʉlwɨ́ɨrɨ, “Aaɨ, ʉvɨ waako wasírire.”When Jesus saw their faith, He said, “Friend, your sins are forgiven.”

21Aho, vakiindya va Miiro na Mafarisáayo vakaanda kiiyurya voosea, “Nɨ ani ʉhʉ yoolʉʉsa masáare yo mʉhɨɨntɨkɨra Mʉlʉʉngʉ? Kusiina wɨɨngɨ ˆadáhaa sea ʉvɨ wasírire tʉkʉ, nɨ Mʉlʉʉngʉ yeemweene vii.”But the scribes and Pharisees began thinking to themselves, “Who is this man who speaks blasphemy? Who can forgive sins but God alone?”

22Yéesu akataanga kwiiririkana kwaavo. Aho akavasea, “Nɨ sa che mookiiririkana ayo mitimii yaanyu?Knowing what they were thinking, Jesus replied, “Why are you thinking these things in your hearts?

23Eri, nɨ kɨrɨkwɨ noo chaangʉ kʉlookya myeewe, kʉmʉsea ʉhʉ mʉlwɨ́ɨrɨ, ‘Ʉvɨ waako wasírire,’ bakʉ kʉmʉsea, ‘Inʉka, ʉlooke’?Which is easier: to say, ‘Your sins are forgiven,’ or to say, ‘Get up and walk’?

24Haaha noosaaka mʉtaange, Mwaana wa Mʉʉntʉ atɨɨte wiimiriri wo sea vaantʉ aha weerwii, ‘Ʉvɨ waavo wasírire.’” Aho, akamʉsea ʉra mʉʉntʉ ˆaakwya iyandiyandi, “Nookʉsea, inʉka, toola ndɨrɨ yaako, ʉdome na kaayii kwaako.”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.”

25Hahara, ʉra mʉʉntʉ akɨɨma mbere ya vaantʉ voosi, akatoola ndɨrɨ yaachwe, maa akadoma na kaayii kwaachwe kʉnʉ yoomʉdʉʉmba Mʉlʉʉngʉ.And immediately the man stood up before them, took what he had been lying on, and went home glorifying God.

26Vaantʉ voosi vakahwaalala maatʉkʉ vii na vakakwaatwa nɨ woowa kʉnʉ voomʉdʉʉmba Mʉlʉʉngʉ vakasea, “Isikʉ tɨɨ́ne masáare ˆyahwáalaryaa!”Everyone was taken with amazement and glorified God. They were filled with awe and said, “We have seen remarkable things today.”

27Ayo ˆyakalooke, Yéesu akafuma na weerwii ya múuji. Ʉko akamoona mʉsaankanʼyi kóodi ʉmwɨ ˆasewáa Láawi iíkyɨɨre kɨvaandii cho rɨhɨra kóodi, yoosaankanʼya kóodi. Aho, akamʉsea, “Ntuuba!”After this, Jesus went out and saw a tax collector named Levi sitting at the tax booth. “Follow Me,” He told him,

28Ne Láawi akiinʉka, akareka kɨra kɨɨntʉ, maa akamutuuba Yéesu.and Levi got up, left everything, and followed Him.

29Na Láawi akamʉbweeyyirya Yéesu ngovi nkʉʉlʉ aho kaayii kwaachwe. Mpuka nkʉʉlʉ ya vasaankanʼyi kóodi na vaantʉ vɨɨngɨ vakiikala kurya ne chákurya.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.

30Maa kaa, Mafarisáayo na vakiindya va Miiro vakavangʼʉʉrɨra vapooji vaachwe voosea, “Sa che moorya no nywa hamwɨ na masaankanʼyi kóodi na maduwalo?”But the Pharisees and their scribes complained to Jesus’ disciples, “Why do you eat and drink with tax collectors and sinners?”

31Yéesu ˆakayateere ayo masáare, maa akavasea, “Vaantʉ ˆvarɨ nkaasʉ sɨ vasáakaa mwaanga tʉkʉ, maa kaa, valwɨ́ɨrɨ noo vasáakaa mwaanga.Jesus answered, “It is not the healthy who need a doctor, but the sick.

32Sɨ nʉʉja joo kaanɨrɨra vaantʉ ˆviiyónaa nɨ vawoloki tʉkʉ, nʉʉja joo kaanɨrɨra vavɨ sa vamʉvalandʉkɨre Mʉlʉʉngʉ.”I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners, to repentance.”

33Aho, vakamuurya Yéesu voosea, “Vapooji va Yooháani na va Mafarisáayo viirékyaa kurya so mʉloomba Mʉlʉʉngʉ. Maa kaa, amwɨ vapooji vaako nɨ varíjaa no nywa vii kɨra siikʉ?”Then they said to Him, “John’s disciples and those of the Pharisees frequently fast and pray, but Yours keep on eating and drinking.”

34Yéesu akavasea, “Eri, ifaanaa mʉkavabweeyya vaantʉ ˆvaláarikirwe na ngovi ya ilóola na mweenengovi ntɨ ˆarɨ novo viirekye kurya wʉʉ?Jesus replied, “Can you make the guests of the bridegroom fast while He is with them?

35Maa kaa, mpɨɨndɨ luu kʉʉja jiri, mweenengovi luu sʉmʉlwa arɨ, aho noo vakiirekiirye kurya.”But the time will come when the bridegroom will be taken from them; then they will fast.”

36Aho, maa Yéesu akavavaɨra lusímo ʉlʉ, “Kusiina mʉʉntʉ ˆakéraa kɨráka fuma ɨngo ifya sa achʉmɨre isaámʉ tʉkʉ. Koonɨ abwéeyyiirye jeyyo, kʉva arɨ amwɨ́ɨre ɨngo ifya na ɨkyo kɨráka kifya sɨ kɨrɨ kiifwaanɨrɨra na ɨro isaámʉ tʉkʉ.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.

37Kei, kusiina mʉʉntʉ ˆavɨ́kɨraa diváai ifya viríibii vya kalɨ tʉkʉ. Koonɨ abwéeyyiirye jeyyo, ɨyo diváai pʉsʉla ɨrɨ ivyo viríiba, diváai kɨɨtɨka ɨrɨ na viríiba saambʉka viri.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.

38Diváai ifya nɨ viríibii vifya ɨvɨ́kɨrwaa.Instead, new wine is poured into new wineskins.

39Baa kusiina mʉʉntʉ ˆasáakaa kʉnywa diváai ifya koonɨ anywíire ɨra ya kalɨ tʉkʉ, sa aséaa, ‘Ɨra ya kalɨ noo yabooha kʉlookya.’”And no one after drinking old wine wants new, for he says, ‘The old is better.’”
