Luke 5 (LTH) · Opened

1Ï nïnö mörö acël na Yecu ocung ï dhö nam më Genecaret, jïï opong na rïdërë gïnï më winyo köp k'Obanga.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,

2Yecu önënö yeya arïö ï lak kulo n'ëmak rëc öwëkö kunön ëka onwongo lwökö böögï.He saw two boats at the edge of the lake. The fishermen had left them and were washing their nets.

3Ën ödönyö ï yeya acël, man onwongo obedo më ka Cimon, ëka okobo nïnë më cwarö yeya ökö na nönök kï lak kulo. Cë Yecu obedo ï yeya ëka opwonyo lwak.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.

4Na dong otyeko pwony mërë, ën okobo nï Cimon nï, “Ter yeyani ï dyere nam kanya thuth ëk ibol unu bööwu ï pii cë ïmak unu rëc.”When Jesus had finished speaking, He said to Simon, “Put out into deep water and let down your nets for a catch.”

5Cimon ögamö nï, “Rwoth, wan etio na tëk wor kia ëka ba ëmakö gin mörö. Ëntö kite na in ikobo ködë, abino bolo böö rëcna.”“Master,” Simon replied, “we have worked hard all night without catching anything. But because You say so, I will let down the nets.”

6Na gïn dong ötïmö kömanön, gïn ömakö rëc na pol naka böögï öcakö yëc.When they had done so, they caught such a large number of fish that their nets began to tear.

7Cë dong gïn ocwodo ewodhgï na ute ï yeya nökënë nï ëk obin ökönygï. Ï karë n'obino gïnï, opongo gïnï yeya arïö kï rëc ökö ëka yeya öcakö lüny.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.

8Ï karë na Cimon Petero önënö gin nön, orumo cöngë pïny ï tyën Yecu ëka okobo nï, “Rwoth cïdh ökö kï botha, pïën an abedo abal!”When Simon Peter saw this, he fell at Jesus’ knees. “Go away from me, Lord,” he said, “for I am a sinful man.”

9Petero ëka ewodhe ouro gïnï lwak rëc na gïn ëmakö.For he and his companions were astonished at the catch of fish they had taken,

10Ewodhe, Yakobo ëka Jon, awope ka Jebedayo, ouro gïnï thon. Ëka Yecu okobo nï Cimon nï, “Kür ibed kï lworo, cakërë ï caa ni cïdhö ködë anyim, ibino bedo amak jïï nakaka makö rëc.”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.”

11Gïn öywaö yeyagï ï lak kulo, cë gïn öjalö jami kïbëc ëka ölübö gïnï kör Yecu.And when they had brought their boats ashore, they left everything and followed Him.

12Ï karë na Yecu onwongo tye ï pacö mörö acël, ëcwö mörö obino na ut kï two dhöbü. Na ën önënö Yecu, orumo cöngë pïny cë okulo wangë ëka ökwaö Yecu nï, “Rwoth, ka ïmïtö, canga ëk abed na leng.”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.”

13Yecu öryëö cïngë ëka ogudo ëcwö nön, cë okobo nï, “An amïtö, komi dong obed na leng!” Cücüth two dhöbü öcang ökö.Jesus reached out His hand and touched the man. “I am willing,” He said. “Be clean!” And immediately the leprosy left him.

14Cë Yecu okobo nïnë nï, “Kür ikob nï ngat mörö, ëntö cïdh inyuthiri both alamdhök. Cë ïmïï tyër na Muca öcïkö ëk jïï ongee nï in dong ecangi ökö.”“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.”

15Ëntö emuth na makö kome ökëë örömö lobo, ëka n'ömïö jïï na pol rwök obino më winyo köp mërë ëk ëcang-gï kï ï kom twoegï.But the news about Jesus spread all the more, and great crowds came to hear Him and to be healed of their sicknesses.

16Yecu ï karë mökö yaa cïdhö ökö yo kanya lik ëka lëgö.Yet He frequently withdrew to the wilderness to pray.

17Ï nïnö mörö acël Yecu onwongo pwonyo jïï. Eparicayo ëka epwony cïk mökö onwongo obino gïnï kï ï peci na papath më Galilaya, Yudea ëka Jerucalem, onwongo ute gïnï kunön. Tëkö ka Rwoth onwongo ut ködë më cangö etwoe.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.

18Cwö mökö obino n'otingo gïnï dhanö na two akwea kom ömakö. Gïn ötëmö më tero ën ï öt ëk epyel ï nyim Yecu.Just then some men came carrying a paralyzed man on a mat. They tried to bring him inside to set him before Jesus,

19Ba onwongo gïnï yoo më tero akome okwe ï nyim Yecu pïën lwak onwongo opong rwök. Cë gïn öïdhö malö ëka otuco gïnï wi öt. Gïn olwao akome okwe na ut ï ökëka pïny ï kin lwak naka ecibo ï nyim Yecu.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.

20Na Yecu önënö yeegï, ën okobo n'akome okwe nï, “Okona, dong atïmö nini kïca ï balni.”When Jesus saw their faith, He said, “Friend, your sins are forgiven.”

21Eparicayo ëka epwony cïk ka Muca öcakö penyere gïnï kën-gï nï, “Ën thamö nï ënë nga na twakö köp më yanyö Obanga? Obanga këkën ënë twërö wëkö bal.”But the scribes and Pharisees began thinking to themselves, “Who is this man who speaks blasphemy? Who can forgive sins but God alone?”

22Yecu ongeo ngö n'onwongo gïn thamö ëka openyogï nï, “Pïngö ï thamö unu köp ni kï ï cwinywu?Knowing what they were thinking, Jesus replied, “Why are you thinking these things in your hearts?

23Mënë ënë yot: Më kobo nï, ‘Balni ëtïmö kïca ökö ïë,’ onyo më kobo nï, ‘Yaa malö ïcïdhï’?Which is easier: to say, ‘Your sins are forgiven,’ or to say, ‘Get up and walk’?

24Ëntö ëk ingee unu nï Wod ka Dhanö ut kï twër ï wi lobo më wëkö bal.” Cë Yecu okobo both dhanö na kome okwe nï, “An akobo nini, yaa malö, kwany ökëkani ëka ïcïdh yo pacö.”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.”

25Cücüth öya malö ï nyimgï, ökwanyö ökëka n'onwongo ën obuto ïë cë ödök yo pacö na pakö Obanga.And immediately the man stood up before them, took what he had been lying on, and went home glorifying God.

26Lwak kïbëc ouro ëka öpakö gïnï Obanga. Gïn opong kï lworo na kobo gïnï nï, “Ënënö gin më aura tin.”Everyone was taken with amazement and glorified God. They were filled with awe and said, “We have seen remarkable things today.”

27Kinge manön, Yecu odonyo yökö cë önënö acök ocoro n'ecwodo nï Lebi obedo ï od cökö ocoro mërë. Yecu okobo nïnë nï, “Lüb köra.”After this, Jesus went out and saw a tax collector named Levi sitting at the tax booth. “Follow Me,” He told him,

28Lebi öya malö, öwëkö jami kïbëc, ëka ölübö Yecu.and Levi got up, left everything, and followed Him.

29Ëka Lebi öyübö cem na thwönë ï parë nï Yecu na calö welo mërë më awöra. Ï kin wele onwongo ute ëcök ocoro na pol kï jö nökënë.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.

30Man ömïö Eparicayo nökënë ëka epwony cïk ka Muca öngüngüta gïnï ï kom ëlübkör Yecu nakun penyogï nï, “Pïngö icemo ëka imedho unu k'ëcök ocoro n'obedo ëbal?”But the Pharisees and their scribes complained to Jesus’ disciples, “Why do you eat and drink with tax collectors and sinners?”

31Yecu ögamö nïgï nï, “Pathï Jö na komgï yot ënë mïtö daktar, ëntö etwoe.Jesus answered, “It is not the healthy who need a doctor, but the sick.

32An ba abino më cwodo jö na kitegï atïr, ëntö ëbal ëk ongut gïnï.”I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners, to repentance.”

33Jö nön okobo both Yecu nï, “Ëlübkör Jon ëka më Eparicayo onwongo ut gïnï kï thëkwarö më rio kec karë kï karë ëka lëgö gïnï thon. Pïngö ëlübkori cemo ëka medho gïnï nïnö kïbëc?”Then they said to Him, “John’s disciples and those of the Pharisees frequently fast and pray, but Yours keep on eating and drinking.”

34Yecu ögamö nïgï nï, “Wele k'anyom twërö rio kec n'anyom tye ködgï kanya acël?Jesus replied, “Can you make the guests of the bridegroom fast while He is with them?

35Ëntö karë bino thuno n'ebino kwanyö anyom ökö kï bothgï cë gïn dong bino rio kec ï nïnö nön.”But the time will come when the bridegroom will be taken from them; then they will fast.”

36Dök obolo nïgï carolok nï, “Ba ut ngat mörö na yëcö opeke böngü na nyen më dapö böngü na cön na ën ruko. Ka ötïmö kömanön cë bino yëcö böngü na ën ruko na nyen ökö. Dök opeke nï kom böngü na nyen ba pore kï man otii.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.

37Dök ba ut ngat mörö na pïkö köngö ölök na nyen ï ocwe na cön, ka öpïkö, cë köngö ölök bino yëcö ocwe ökö, ocwe thon bal ökö.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.

38Thwara köngö ölök na nyen ëpïk ï ocwe na nyen.Instead, new wine is poured into new wineskins.

39Ba tye ngat mörö na ka ömadhö köngö ölök na cön cë dök mïtö man anyen thon, pïën bino kobo nï, ‘Thwara thwara man na cön.’ ”And no one after drinking old wine wants new, for he says, ‘The old is better.’”
