Luke 5 (LUG) · Opened

1Awo Yesu yali ayimiridde ku lubalama lw’ennyanja y’e Genesaleeti ng’ayigiriza, ebibiina nga bamunyigiriza nga bawuliriza ekigambo kya Katonda,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,

2n’alengera amaato abiri ameereere nga gali kumpi n’olukalu, nga bannannyinigo abavubi, bagalese awo, nga bayoza obutimba bwabwe.He saw two boats at the edge of the lake. The fishermen had left them and were washing their nets.

3Yesu n’alinnya mu lyato erimu eryali erya Simooni, n’amusaba alisembezeeko katono mu nnyanja, n’alituulamu, asinziire omwo okuyigiriza ebibiina.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.

4Bwe yamala okuyigiriza n’agamba Simooni nti, “Kale kaakano sembeza eryato lyo ebuziba, mu mazzi amangi, musuule obutimba bwammwe mu nnyanja, mujja kukwasa ebyennyanja bingi!”When Jesus had finished speaking, He said to Simon, “Put out into deep water and let down your nets for a catch.”

5Simooni n’addamu nti, “Mukama waffe, twateganye dda ekiro kyonna, naye ne tutakwasa kantu. Naye ggwe nga bw’otugambye, nzija kusuula obutimba.”“Master,” Simon replied, “we have worked hard all night without catching anything. But because You say so, I will let down the nets.”

6Awo bwe baakola bwe batyo, obutimba bwabwe bwajjula ebyennyanja, ne butandika n’okukutuka.When they had done so, they caught such a large number of fish that their nets began to tear.

7Ne bawenya ku bannaabwe abaali mu lyato liri eddala bajje babayambe, ne bajja, amaato gombi ne gajjula ebyennyanja, ne gajula n’okusaanawo.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.

8Awo Simooni Peetero bwe yakiraba, n’afukamira mu maaso ga Yesu n’amugamba nti, “Mukama wange, nkwegayiridde ndeka, kubanga ndi mwonoonyi nnyo.”When Simon Peter saw this, he fell at Jesus’ knees. “Go away from me, Lord,” he said, “for I am a sinful man.”

9Kubanga obungi bw’ebyennyanja bye baakwasa bwa muwuniikirizza nnyo awamu ne banne bwe baavubanga,For he and his companions were astonished at the catch of fish they had taken,

10Yakobo ne Yokaana abaana ba Zebbedaayo. Yesu n’amuddamu nti, “Totya! Okuva kaakano ojjanga kuvuba myoyo gya bantu.”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.”

11Amaato gaabwe olwagoba ku lubalama ne baleka awo byonna ne bagenda naye.And when they had brought their boats ashore, they left everything and followed Him.

12Mu kibuga Yesu mwe yali akyadde mwalimu omusajja eyali alwadde ebigenge. Bwe yalaba Yesu n’avuunama mu maaso ge, n’amwegayirira nti, “Mukama wange, bw’oba ng’oyagala, oyinza okunnongoosa.”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.”

13Yesu n’agolola omukono gwe n’amukwatako, ng’agamba nti, “Njagala, longooka.” Amangwago ebigenge by’omusajja ne bimuwonako.Jesus reached out His hand and touched the man. “I am willing,” He said. “Be clean!” And immediately the leprosy left him.

14Yesu n’alagira omusajja nti, “Tobaako muntu n’omu gw’ogamba, naye genda weeyanjule eri kabona oweeyo ekiweebwayo olw’okulongosebwa nga Musa bwe yalagira, kibeere obujulirwa gye bali.”“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.”

15Naye ne yeeyongera bweyongezi okubunya ettutumu ly’obuyinza bwa Yesu era ebibiina binene ne bikuŋŋaana okumuwulira n’okuwonyezebwa endwadde zaabwe.But the news about Jesus spread all the more, and great crowds came to hear Him and to be healed of their sicknesses.

16Naye bwe yasalangawo akabanga, ne yeeyawula n’alagako mu bifo eteri bantu, okusaba.Yet He frequently withdrew to the wilderness to pray.

17Lwali lumu Yesu yali ayigiriza abakulembeze b’Abayudaaya, n’abannyonnyozi b’amateeka nabo nga batudde awo, abaali bavudde mu buli kyalo eky’e Ggaliraaya ne Buyudaaya era n’e Yerusaalemi. Amaanyi ga Mukama gaali ku ye okuwonya.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.

18Awo abasajja ne bajja nga basitudde omusajja ku katanda eyali akoozimbye. Ne bagezaako okumuyingiza okumuleeta Yesu we yali.Just then some men came carrying a paralyzed man on a mat. They tried to bring him inside to set him before Jesus,

19Naye bwe bataasobola kumuyingiza olw’ekibiina ekinene ne balinnya waggulu ku kasolya, ne baggyawo ku mategula ne bayisaamu omulwadde ne bamussa ng’agalamidde ku katanda ke ne baamutereereza ddala mu maaso ga Yesu.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.

20Awo Yesu bwe yalaba okukkiriza kwabwe, n’agamba omusajja akoozimbye nti, “Omusajja, ebibi byo bikusonyiyiddwa.”When Jesus saw their faith, He said, “Friend, your sins are forgiven.”

21Abafalisaayo n’abannyonnyozi b’amateeka ne beebuuzaganya nti, “Ono ye ani avvoola! Ani ayinza okusonyiwa ebibi wabula Katonda yekka?”But the scribes and Pharisees began thinking to themselves, “Who is this man who speaks blasphemy? Who can forgive sins but God alone?”

22Nate Yesu bwe yamanya ebirowoozo byabwe, n’ababuuza nti, “Lwaki mulowooza bwe mutyo mu mutima gwammwe?Knowing what they were thinking, Jesus replied, “Why are you thinking these things in your hearts?

23Ekyangu kye kiri wa? Okwogera nti ebibi byo bikusonyiyiddwa oba nti situka otambule?Which is easier: to say, ‘Your sins are forgiven,’ or to say, ‘Get up and walk’?

24Naye mulyoke mutegeere nti, Omwana w’Omuntu alina obuyinza ku nsi okusonyiwa ebibi.” N’agamba eyali akozimbye nti, “Situka, ositule akatanda ko, weddireyo ewuwo.”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.”

25Amangwago omusajja n’asituka n’asitula akatanda kwe yali agalamidde, n’addayo ewuwe ng’agulumiza Katonda.And immediately the man stood up before them, took what he had been lying on, and went home glorifying God.

26Abantu bonna ne bajjula encukwe. Ne bagulumiza Katonda nga bajjudde entiisa nga boogera nti, “Tulabye ebyewuunyisa leero.”Everyone was taken with amazement and glorified God. They were filled with awe and said, “We have seen remarkable things today.”

27Oluvannyuma lw’ebyo Yesu n’avaayo n’alaba omusolooza w’omusolo, erinnya lye Leevi ng’atudde omusolo we gukuŋŋaanyizibwa, n’amugamba nti, “Ngoberera.”After this, Jesus went out and saw a tax collector named Levi sitting at the tax booth. “Follow Me,” He told him,

28Leevi n’aleka awo byonna, n’asitukiramu n’amugoberera.and Levi got up, left everything, and followed Him.

29Awo Leevi n’afumbira Yesu ekijjulo eky’amaanyi mu maka ge. Waaliwo abasolooza banne ab’omusolo bangi, n’abantu abalala bangi, abaali ku kijjulo ekyo.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.

30Naye Abafalisaayo n’abannyonnyozi b’amateeka ne beemulugunya, olw’abayigirizwa be nga bagamba nti, “Lwaki mulya era ne munywa n’abasolooza b’omusolo n’abalina ebibi?”But the Pharisees and their scribes complained to Jesus’ disciples, “Why do you eat and drink with tax collectors and sinners?”

31Yesu n’abaanukula nti, “Abalwadde be beetaaga omusawo, so si abo abatali balwadde.Jesus answered, “It is not the healthy who need a doctor, but the sick.

32Sajja kuyita batuukirivu wabula abalina ebibi okwenenya.”I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners, to repentance.”

33Kyokka ne bamugamba nti, “Abayigirizwa ba Yokaana batera okusiiba n’okusaba. N’abayigirizwa b’Abafalisaayo nabo bwe batyo. Naye ababo balya ne banywa.”Then they said to Him, “John’s disciples and those of the Pharisees frequently fast and pray, but Yours keep on eating and drinking.”

34Naye Yesu n’abagamba nti, “Abagenyi bayinza okusiiba ng’awasizza omugole akyali nabo?Jesus replied, “Can you make the guests of the bridegroom fast while He is with them?

35Naye ekiseera kijja, awasizza omugole ng’abaggiddwako olwo ne balyoka basiiba.”But the time will come when the bridegroom will be taken from them; then they will fast.”

36Awo Yesu n’abagerera olugero nti, “Tewali ayuza kiwero mu lugoye oluggya alyoke azibise ekituli mu lugoye olukadde. Bw’akikola, ekiwero ekiggya kiyuza olukadde, n’ekiwero ekiggya tekijja kugendera wamu na lugoye olukadde.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.

37Era tewali ateeka wayini omusu mu nsawo enkadde ez’amaliba ga wayini, kubanga wayini omusu ajja kuziyuza ayiike.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.

38Naye wayini omusu ateekebwa mu nsawo za maliba empya.Instead, new wine is poured into new wineskins.

39Era tewali anywa ku wayini omukadde ate ayagala okunywa ku wayini omusu. Kubanga agamba nti, ‘Omukadde ye asinga omusu.’ ”And no one after drinking old wine wants new, for he says, ‘The old is better.’”
