Luke 5 (MGH2016)

1Nihuku nimoka Yesu aari neemenlhe vachengweni nttiya no Genesareti, attu vaathothokanacha aya uwa uwiiwelhelhani nlhove na Nlhuku.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,

2Nkoona ikalhava pilhi vachereshere nttiya, ashinene yaari anakhuruwilhe alhokihachaka ittavi chaya.He saw two boats at the edge of the lake. The fishermen had left them and were washing their nets.

3Yesu nkaawelha ikalhava imoka i Nasimoni, nkaalhepelha anene ayo wiira athame vachengweni vawo achusheriheke miholho vakani. Nkaakhalha nkalhavani mmo ni weettuchiha milhoko cha attu.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.

4Amalhiheke weettuchiha attu, nkeerelha Nasimoni, “Nchusheriheke ikalhava inyu mpaka variyari nttiya, mwarieke ittavi chinyu chiyo mwavare ihopa.”When Jesus had finished speaking, He said to Simon, “Put out into deep water and let down your nets for a catch.”

5Nasimoni nkayaakhulha, “Thithi, nihoshelhelhiha wo uhipatta ittu. Nansho wo nlhove ninyu, kinokoriaa ittavi vano.”“Master,” Simon replied, “we have worked hard all night without catching anything. But because You say so, I will let down the nets.”

6Arieke ittavi mmaashini, nkayaarulha ihopa chinchi, mpaka ittavi waatameria upaphuwa.When they had done so, they caught such a large number of fish that their nets began to tear.

7Nkayeehana ashikhunanaya yaari ikalhava ikina, awe aakaviha. Nkayaawacha, nkayaacharihacha ihopa ikalhava pilhi chonkhaye chaatameriaka utitimira mmaashini.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.

8Nasimoni Peturo voonne aya ikhumelhenlhe, nkayankhoromelha Yesu amwiirelhaka, “Nthame vawannnyaka va, Thithi! Ki ntu o uwonya mii!”When Simon Peter saw this, he fell at Jesus’ knees. “Go away from me, Lord,” he said, “for I am a sinful man.”

9Napeturo anene vamoka ni ashikhunanaya nkayoomachiya uwanoni wo woona ihopa chinchi thoko chechiyo chaavarilhe aya chiyo.For he and his companions were astonished at the catch of fish they had taken,

10Yaari chiicho ata u Nayakhobo ni Nayohana ashaana a Nazebedayo, akavihi nanaya Nasimoni. Yesu nkeerelha, “Nhoovache mwaatti, uchokholha lhelho va nnookhalha o woopolha attu.”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.”

11Nkayaapurulha ikalhava mpaka uchengweni, nkayaahiya kila ittu ni unttwara Yesu.And when they had brought their boats ashore, they left everything and followed Him.

12Nkayaakhalha wiira Yesu vaari awe iwani imoka ntu mmoka aawereiya makutulha ahomwoona, nkaawa wa Yesu. Nkeewulhusha makukhu ni unlhepelha Yesu, “Thithi, mwattunaka, nnowooria ukilhamiha!”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 nkookolha moono awe ni ummara ntu o makutulha uyo nkaamwiirelha, “Kihothanana, nlhameke etu!”Jesus reached out His hand and touched the man. “I am willing,” He said. “Be clean!” And immediately the leprosy left him.

14Nkanlhehera ntu uyo wiira, “Nhirwee uhimiecheshani wa attu, nansho nrweeke mweechoniheke wa opochera ishaani, mwakumiheke isadaka inyu mwiittukurie wiira nholhama thoko chilheheriye aya ni ashinna Musa.”“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.”

15Nansho mwaha waapannge awe Yesu nkawaawanelha kila vakittu. Attu enchi nkayaathukumana uumwiiwelhelhani ni ulhamihiya mareta aya.But the news about Jesus spread all the more, and great crowds came to hear Him and to be healed of their sicknesses.

16Nansho nkaathama ni urwaa vakittu vo yekha awe, nkaakhalha wowo anlhapelhaka Nlhuku.Yet He frequently withdrew to the wilderness to pray.

17Nihuku nimoka Yesu aari eettuchihaka, Amafarisayo akina ni owiittuchiha Malhehero yaakhumme iwani cho Ugalilaya ni Uyudea ni Uyerusalemu, yaakhalhanche eewelhelhaka. Machiri a Athithi aari vamoka ni uyo wiira aalhamihe areta.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.

18Nkayaawa attu yankushilhe vankorini ntu o uririyacha iruttu, nkayaalhikacha unkelhiha mpaani mwaari awe Yesu.Just then some men came carrying a paralyzed man on a mat. They tried to bring him inside to set him before Jesus,

19Nansho attu chenre aya wo uchara, khayoonrie ukelha mpaani. Paahi etu, nkayankusha mpaka vachulhu nchaara, nkayaakhunulha nivatho wiira anvirihe ni ikori awe mpaka vaari awe 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.

20Yesu vonne awe yoyo nrima aya uyo, nkaamwirelha ntu o ririyacha moono uyo, “Uhohiyereriya uwonya wao, mpwana aka.”When Jesus saw their faith, He said, “Friend, your sins are forgiven.”

21Owiittuchiha Malhehero ni Amafarisayo nkayaachokholha wiikoha ashineneru, “Ana phi mpani yolha nonlhava Nlhuku ulha! Nlhuku vekha awe phi nohiyerera uwonya!”But the scribes and Pharisees began thinking to themselves, “Who is this man who speaks blasphemy? Who can forgive sins but God alone?”

22Yesu ahochuwelha ichuku chaya, nkeera, “Nlhatu waani wo uchukulhacha munrimani chiicho?Knowing what they were thinking, Jesus replied, “Why are you thinking these things in your hearts?

23Vaalhuwilhe vayi ana, wiira, ‘Uwonya winyu uhohiyereriya,’ ama wiira, ‘Munkweke nrweeke?’Which is easier: to say, ‘Your sins are forgiven,’ or to say, ‘Get up and walk’?

24Kinowoonihani etu wiira, Mwaana a Ntu hanaa ikuru velhaponi va yo uhiyerera uwonya wa attu.” Paahi etu nkaamwiirelha ntu o moono wo uririyacha ulhe, “Kinoohimeriani wiira, munkweke, mwiirieke nkori inyu nhokolhieke uwani!”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.”

25Vavawo vavawo ntu ulhe nkeemelha attu yoonaka, nkaakusha nkori waarupelha awe, nkaahokolhia uwannyawe, anthimichaka Nlhuku.And immediately the man stood up before them, took what he had been lying on, and went home glorifying God.

26Attu onkhaye nkayaahalha malhaku mwaari! Aari yoovaka, nkayanthimicha Nlhuku yiiraka, “Nihoona chittu cho ushangiha lhelho!”Everyone was taken with amazement and glorified God. They were filled with awe and said, “We have seen remarkable things today.”

27Yamalhekeru, Yesu nkaakhuma vathe nkaamwona ntu aalhiviha ikhodi eehaniya Lawi, nakhanlhe vanupani vaalhiviha awe ikhodi. Yesu nkaamwiirelha, “Nkittware.”After this, Jesus went out and saw a tax collector named Levi sitting at the tax booth. “Follow Me,” He told him,

28Nalawi nkayeemelha, nkayaahiya kila ittu ni unttwara Yesu.and Levi got up, left everything, and followed Him.

29Yamalheke Nalawi nkayanterekhelha Yesu yolhia yo uchechilho, ni alheto yaalhalheiye yaari attu olhiviha ikhodi enchi aakhanlhe unlhiana Yesu vamoka ni attu akina.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.

30Amafarisayo akina ni owiittuchiha Malhehero nkayaachukulha, nkayaakoha owiittucha a Yesu yeeraka, “Chani woonaka mwaatti nnolhia ni uwuria vamoka ni attu o ulhiviha ikhodi ni attu o uwonya?”But the Pharisees and their scribes complained to Jesus’ disciples, “Why do you eat and drink with tax collectors and sinners?”

31Yesu nkaakhulha, “Attu arii akumi khanaavia abwana mganga, ihikhalhe areta phi naavia.Jesus answered, “It is not the healthy who need a doctor, but the sick.

32Akiwiilhe u weehanani attu anopanga chittu cho urera wiira akhorome, nansho attu o uwonya.”I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners, to repentance.”

33Attu akina nkayaamwiirelha Yesu, “Owiittucha a Nayohana anoottuka venchi ni ulhapelha, ni owiittucha a Amafarisayo anopanga chiicho, nansho owiittucha inyu anolhia ni uwuria.”Then they said to Him, “John’s disciples and those of the Pharisees frequently fast and pray, but Yours keep on eating and drinking.”

34Yesu nkaakhulha, “Chani attu alhalheiye u arusini ahophwanelhiya uttuka abwana arusi anari vavawo? Mena!Jesus replied, “Can you make the guests of the bridegroom fast while He is with them?

35Nansho nihuku ninoowa abwana arusi vanowa aya uthamihiya, vavawo attu phi nowa aya aattuka.”But the time will come when the bridegroom will be taken from them; then they will fast.”

36Yesu nkaahimeria tho nna nlhikaaniho nna, “Khaawo ntu neesha imbaati yo naanano vachulhu ikuwo yoothalha. Eeraka chiicho, noothepiha ikuwo iyo waahuwa, ni imbaati iyo khinaathana ni ikuwo yo khalhayi.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.

37Chiicho khaawo ntu nohelha idivai yoochasha ntumpa wo nrapalha wo wuulhuvalha, ukhalhawaya idivai yoochasha iyo inoopwesha ntumpa uyo ni urihiaa.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.

38Nansho, idivai yoochasha inohelhiya mu nrupa nkumi!Instead, new wine is poured into new wineskins.

39Khaawo ntu nothanana uwuria idivai ihinachasha amalhihaka uwuria idivai yoochasha. Attu aneera, ‘Ittu yo khalhayi phi nlhoka chinene.’ ”And no one after drinking old wine wants new, for he says, ‘The old is better.’”
