Luke 5 (LYN) · Opened

1Jesu yoli ba likamba no lisa lya Genesaleta, aanu sebeli amusheeteta onene nji ayupe eliywi lya Nyambe.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,

2Cwale sebeli omona amato ayiili mu lisa, kono ayambi natundumo mi alemine oku yowisanga otunyandi too.He saw two boats at the edge of the lake. The fishermen had left them and were washing their nets.

3Jesu sebeli oingena mu wato omunjili wa Simoni, sebeli omwambela nji aufule kanyonyo okutunda ba likamba. Cwale sebeli oikala banji ni kwiyeta aanu no kupula yoli mu wato.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.

4Cwale aba ana kumana okwamba sebeli wambela Simoni nji, “Obeeke aba no kutunga onene mi oyambe otunyandi towe.”When Jesus had finished speaking, He said to Simon, “Put out into deep water and let down your nets for a catch.”

5Cwale Simoni sebeli otambula nji, “Molyange, natu yamba ousiku wonje kono kakwisa esi tuna wana. Kono okuta mu liywii lyowe kame niyamba otunyandi.”“Master,” Simon replied, “we have worked hard all night without catching anything. But because You say so, I will let down the nets.”

6Cwale aba ana kutenda ngeeso, sebeli akuuya elibunda linene no tindi, mane akanyandi sebeli ka kauka.When they had done so, they caught such a large number of fish that their nets began to tear.

7Cwale sebeli akobeta alikani oo nji aiye mukwaatusa. Cwale sebeli aiya ni kwiiyata amato ayiili mane sebeli atateka okutika.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.

8Kono Simoni Pitolosi abana kumona ngeeso, sebeli okukwiseta banji ni manwi aye kwa Jesu ni kwamba nji, “Otunde kwa mene, kakuli mene kame nili osiku tenda eibi, Mbumu!”When Simon Peter saw this, he fell at Jesus’ knees. “Go away from me, Lord,” he said, “for I am a sinful man.”

9Mulibaka elyo kame ana kukomoka onene naawo ana kwikala naye ba ku mona okupula no tindi anaku kuuya.For he and his companions were astonished at the catch of fish they had taken,

10Cwale sebeli ku tendahala ngeeso ni kwa Jacobo ni Jowani aana a Zebedeya, alikani a Simoni, mi Jesu sebeli wambakwa Simoni nji “Olese ku cila, okutunda bano mbuyamba aanu.”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.”

11Cwale aba ana kulita amato oo ku likamba, sebeli asiya einu yonje ni ku mukon̄aAnd when they had brought their boats ashore, they left everything and followed Him.

12Jesu yoli mu mulenen̄i munjili, sebeli kwiiya omulume osi kutoma embingwa, mi aba ana kumona Jesu, sebeli okwela banji ni lubala lwaye ni kwamba nji, “Mbumu, nji kame osinga, kame otwesa okuni balisa!”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.”

13Cwale Jesu sebeli oolola elyoko lyaye ni ku mulema ni kwamba nji, “Nisinga, obale!” Mi ababo embingwa sebeli ibwa.Jesus reached out His hand and touched the man. “I am willing,” He said. “Be clean!” And immediately the leprosy left him.

14Cwale sebeli omulaelela nji alese okwambela omunu, “Kono ote oka kumonahalise kwa mupulisita, mi olite enubu no ku balisiwa kanyi omu ana ku laelela Mushe, itende oupaki kwaanu.”“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.”

15Kono cwale elibubo lyaye sebeli lihasana, mi aanu no kupula sebeli aungana oku muteeteteta ni ku balisiwa ku meeti oo.But the news about Jesus spread all the more, and great crowds came to hear Him and to be healed of their sicknesses.

16Kono sebeli ota mu lihalaupa oka lapela.Yet He frequently withdrew to the wilderness to pray.

17Ba liywaa elinjili yo iyeta, kame kuna kwikala Afalisi na iyeti no mulawo awo nakwiiya okutunda mu mindi yonje no Galileya ni Judeya ni mu Jelusalema, mi amaata a Mbumu kame ana kwikala kwa yonyene oku balisa aanu.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.

18Komumone, sebeli kwiiya alume ashimbile omulume ba saala osi lun̄an̄ali, mi sebeli akumbela oku mwingenyika mukaci ni ku mu langeka ba lubala lwa Jesu.Just then some men came carrying a paralyzed man on a mat. They tried to bring him inside to set him before Jesus,

19Kono kasi kuwana esibaka no kwingena, mulibaka no aanu okupula, sebeli atina ba lituwa no ndoo ni ku mu shulumukiseta ni saala saye mukaci no aanu balubala lwa Jesu.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.

20Cwale Jesu aba ana kumona etumelo yoo, sebeli wamba nji, “Mulume, eibi yowe na wilemenwe.”When Jesus saw their faith, He said, “Friend, your sins are forgiven.”

21Cwale aiyeti no mulawo na Falisi sebeli atangisa okwibanguta aamba nji, “Anyine wuyu mulume woyo wamba mu malimbuluti? Woyo so twesa okulemena eibi konji feela konji Nyambe yomboci.”But the scribes and Pharisees began thinking to themselves, “Who is this man who speaks blasphemy? Who can forgive sins but God alone?”

22Cwale Jesu aba ana kulimuka etipuzo too, sebeli waatambula nji, “Ngasibine aba mukwibanguta mu micima yenu?Knowing what they were thinking, Jesus replied, “Why are you thinking these things in your hearts?

23Sibine esi sootobile, okwamba nji, ‘Eibi yowe nwilemenwe,’ ni kwamba nji, ‘Oimane mi weende?’Which is easier: to say, ‘Your sins are forgiven,’ or to say, ‘Get up and walk’?

24Kono nji mulimuke nji Omwana no munu kame akwite etukelo no kulemena eibi bano banji.” sebeli wambela omulume osi lun̄an̄ali nji, “Kame nikwambela nji, oimane, oshimbe oulangano wowe mi ote ku mundi!”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.”

25Cwale ababo sebeli oimana ba lubala loo onje, ni ku shimba oulangano waye, ni kuta ku mundi waye yo yeema Nyambe.And immediately the man stood up before them, took what he had been lying on, and went home glorifying God.

26Sebeli akomoka onene onje, ni ku yeema Nyambe mane sebeli aiyala okucila aamba nji, “Balelo na tumono einu indina no ku komokisa!”Everyone was taken with amazement and glorified God. They were filled with awe and said, “We have seen remarkable things today.”

27Eyo aba ina kubwa, Jesu sebeli otundamo, mi sebeli omona Lebi omutelisi yo ikalile ba ofisi no mutelo, mi sebeli omwambela nji, “Onikon̄e.”After this, Jesus went out and saw a tax collector named Levi sitting at the tax booth. “Follow Me,” He told him,

28Cwale Lebi sebeli osiya einu yonje, ni ku mu kon̄aand Levi got up, left everything, and followed Him.

29Cwale Lebi sebeli otendeliwa omukiti no kuneneba mu ndoo yaye, mi kame kuna kwikala atelisi anjili no kupula naanjili ana kwikala noo ku tafule.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.

30Cwale Afalisi naa iyeti no mulawo sebeli an̄un̄uta ni kwambela aiyetwa aye nji, “Iikene aba mulya ni kunwa na telisi na sikutenda eibi?”But the Pharisees and their scribes complained to Jesus’ disciples, “Why do you eat and drink with tax collectors and sinners?”

31Cwale Jesu sebeli waatambula nji, “Aanu awo ayoya wino kasaele onganga, kono awo atomine okame amusaela.Jesus answered, “It is not the healthy who need a doctor, but the sick.

32Kani siiya mu kwisana awo alukile, kono awo asikutenda eibi nji abake.”I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners, to repentance.”

33Cwale aanu sebeli aamba kwa Jesu nji, “Aiyetwa a Jowani aka no kupula kame aku yumenanga eilya mi kame alapelanga, na iyetwa no Afalisi kame atendanga ngeeso, kono aiyetwa owe kame alya ni kunwa.”Then they said to Him, “John’s disciples and those of the Pharisees frequently fast and pray, but Yours keep on eating and drinking.”

34Cwale Jesu sebeli waambela nji, “Kame ku twesahala nji alikani no mukwati aku yumene eilya omukwati yoli noo?Jesus replied, “Can you make the guests of the bridegroom fast while He is with them?

35Amaywaa mba iiyi omukwati aba sa tundisiwe kwa onyene, mi cwale kame saaku yumene eilya mu maywaa awo.”But the time will come when the bridegroom will be taken from them; then they will fast.”

36Jesu kame sebeli waambela enguli injili nji, “Kakwisa omunu otwesa oku tundisa esimanahanyi ba sikumango no ubya nji asi beeke ba sikumango no ku kulubala. Nji atende ngeeso, mba kaula esikumango no ubya, mi esimanahanyi no ubya kasi tamba oku lumelelana ni sikumango noku kulubala.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.

37Kakwisa omunu otwesa oku beeka ewaine no ubya mu sindunga no ku umbiwa ba itumba no ku kulubala, nji atende ngeeso, ewaine no ubya mbai kaula eitumba mane ni kwiteka, ni itumba mbai sinyehe.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.

38Kono ewaine no ubya kame ifanena okwibeeka mu indunga no kuumbiwa ba itumba no ubya.Instead, new wine is poured into new wineskins.

39Cwale kakwisa omunu so tateka okunwa ewaine no kale nji asinge eyi no ubya, kakuli kame saambe nji, ‘Ewaine no kale ya kuwaba okubita eyi no ubya.”And no one after drinking old wine wants new, for he says, ‘The old is better.’”
