Luke 5 (MKW) · Opened

1Kilumbu mosi, Yesu vwandaka na kumu ya dyanga ya Ngenezalete, mpe nkonga ya nene ya bantu kwizaka fuluka kisika yandi vwandaka samu na kuwa Mambu ya Nzambi.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,

2Yandi talaka babwatu zole pene-pene ya kumu ya maza. Bilobi-bambisi vwandaka me basika na yawu samu na kusukula bampwasa ya bawu.He saw two boats at the edge of the lake. The fishermen had left them and were washing their nets.

3Yesu kotaka na bwatu mosi yina vwandaka ya Simoni, mpe zabisaka yandi na kunata yawu fyoti na maza. Na manima ya kuvwanda na kati ya bwatu, Yesu bandaka na kulongisa nkonga ya bantu.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.

4Ntangu yandi manisaka na kuzonza, yandi tubaka na Simoni: «Nata bwatu ya nge kisika maza kele ndilu mingi, mpe nge na bampangi ya nge, beno losa bampwasa ya beno samu na kuzwa bambisi.»When Jesus had finished speaking, He said to Simon, “Put out into deep water and let down your nets for a catch.”

5Simoni vutulaka: «Mulongisi, beto me sala mpimpa nyonso ata kuzwa kima. Kasi mutindu nge me tuba ti mu sala yawu, mu ke losa dyaka bampwasa.»“Master,” Simon replied, “we have worked hard all night without catching anything. But because You say so, I will let down the nets.”

6Bawu losaka bampwasa na maza, mpe kuzwaka bambisi mingi. Bampwasa ya bawu bandaka na kupasuka.When they had done so, they caught such a large number of fish that their nets began to tear.

7Na yina, bawu bokilaka bampangi ya bawu yina vwandaka na bwatu ya nkaka, samu ti bawu kwiza kusadisa bawu. Bampangi kwizaka, mpe bawu fulusaka babwatu nyonso zole na bambisi. Babwatu bandaka na kudyama samu ti bambisi lutilaka mingi.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.

8Ntangu Simoni Pyele talaka mutindu yina, yandi fukamaka na ntwala ya Yesu, mpe tubaka: «Mfumu! Katuka pene-pene ya munu samu ti mu kele musumuki.»When Simon Peter saw this, he fell at Jesus’ knees. “Go away from me, Lord,” he said, “for I am a sinful man.”

9Ya tsyelika, Simoni mpe bantu yina vwandaka na yandi kumaka na boma mingi ntangu bawu talaka lutangu ya nene ya bambisi yina bawu kuzwaka.For he and his companions were astonished at the catch of fish they had taken,

10Mutindu mosi mpe bankundi ya Simoni: Zaki mpe Yowane, bana ya Zebede, kumaka na boma. Kasi Yesu tubaka na Simoni: «Kutala boma ve. Katuka ntangu yayi, nge ke vwanda mulobi ya 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.”

11Na yina, bawu nataka babwatu ya bawu na kumu, mpe bikaka bima nyonso samu na kulanda Yesu.And when they had brought their boats ashore, they left everything and followed Him.

12Yesu vwandaka na kati ya mbanza mosi, mpe muntu mosi yina vwandaka na bwazi kwizaka kisika vwandaka Yesu. Ntangu yandi talaka Yesu, yandi fukamaka na ntwala ya Yesu kizizi na ntoto, mpe sambilaka mutindu yayi: «Mfumu! Kana nge zola, nge lenda kuvedisa munu!»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 lambulaka diboko, simbaka yandi, mpe tubaka: «Mu zola, vwanda ya kuvedila!» Kaka na ntangu yina, bwazi manisaka.Jesus reached out His hand and touched the man. “I am willing,” He said. “Be clean!” And immediately the leprosy left him.

14Yesu tumisaka yandi mutindu yayi: «Kuzabisa mambu yayi na muntu ve. Kasi kwenda lakisa nzutu ya nge na sika ya nganga-Nzambi, mpe pesa munkayulu ya kuvedisa nzutu yina Moyize tumisaka. Yawu ke lakisa na bantu nyonso ti nge me beluka.»“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.”

15Nsangu ya Yesu vwandaka lutila na kumwangana. Bankonga ya bantu vwandaka vukana samu na kuwa yandi, mpe samu ti yandi belusa bimbevo ya bawu.But the news about Jesus spread all the more, and great crowds came to hear Him and to be healed of their sicknesses.

16Kasi Yesu vwandaka bika bawu, mpe vwandaka kwenda na bisika yina kele ve na bantu samu na kusambila.Yet He frequently withdrew to the wilderness to pray.

17Kilumbu mosi, Yesu vwandaka longisa. Ba-Falisye mpe milongisi ya Misiku vwandaka kuna. Bawu katukaka na babwala nyonso ya Ngalili, ya Zude, mpe na mbanza Yelusalemi. Lulendo ya Mfumu vwandaka na Yesu, mpe yawu vwandaka pesa yandi ngolo ya kubelusa bambevo.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.

18Bantu kwizaka kuna. Bawu nataka kikata na zulu ya kipoyi. Bawu vwandaka sosa mayela ya kukotisa yandi na kati ya yinzo samu na kutula yandi na ntwala ya Yesu.Just then some men came carrying a paralyzed man on a mat. They tried to bring him inside to set him before Jesus,

19Kasi bawu vwandaka kuzwa ve kisika ya kukotisa yandi samu ti bantu lutilaka mingi. Na yina, bawu yulukaka na muludi ya yinzo. Bawu tobolaka muludi mpe kulumunaka yandi na zulu ya kipoyi ya yandi na ntwala ya Yesu na meso ya bantu nyonso.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.

20Ntangu Yesu talaka kiminu ya bawu, yandi tubaka na mbevo: «Nkundi ya munu, nge me kuzwa mulemvo ya masumu.»When Jesus saw their faith, He said, “Friend, your sins are forgiven.”

21Milongisi ya Misiku mpe ba-Falisye bandaka na kutuba na yisi ya ntima: «Nani kele muntu yayi? Yandi ke na kusafula Nzambi. Nani dyaka lenda kulemvokila masumu, kana kaka Nzambi ve?»But the scribes and Pharisees began thinking to themselves, “Who is this man who speaks blasphemy? Who can forgive sins but God alone?”

22Yesu zabaka mabanza ya bawu, mpe tubaka: «Samu na yinki beno ke na kubanza mutindu yina?Knowing what they were thinking, Jesus replied, “Why are you thinking these things in your hearts?

23Yinki me lutila mpasi na kutuba: “Nge me kuzwa mulemvo ya masumu”, to “Telama mpe tambula?”Which is easier: to say, ‘Your sins are forgiven,’ or to say, ‘Get up and walk’?

24Kasi mu zola ti beno zaba ti Mwana ya Muntu kele na lutumu ya kulemvokila masumu awa na ntoto.» Na yina, yandi tubaka na muntu ya binama ya kufwa: «Telama, baka kipoyi ya nge, mpe kwenda na yinzo ya nge!»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.”

25Kaka na ntangu yina, yandi telamaka na meso ya bantu nyonso. Yandi bakaka kipoyi yina yandi vwandaka ya kulala, mpe vutukaka na yinzo ya yandi na kukembila Nzambi.And immediately the man stood up before them, took what he had been lying on, and went home glorifying God.

26Bantu nyonso yitukaka mpe kembilaka Nzambi. Bawu fulukaka na boma mpe vwandaka tuba: «Bubu yayi, beto me tala mambu ya ngitukulu.»Everyone was taken with amazement and glorified God. They were filled with awe and said, “We have seen remarkable things today.”

27Na manima ya mambu yina, Yesu basikaka mpe talaka kilokoti-mpaku na nkumbu Levi ya kuvwanda na kisika ya yandi ya kisalu. Yesu zabisaka yandi: «Landa munu!»After this, Jesus went out and saw a tax collector named Levi sitting at the tax booth. “Follow Me,” He told him,

28Levi telamaka, bikaka bima nyonso, mpe landaka yandi.and Levi got up, left everything, and followed Him.

29Na manima, Levi lambisaka madya ya mfunu na yinzo ya yandi samu na Yesu. Bilokoti-mpaku mingi mpe bantu ya nkaka vwandaka kudya kintwadi na bawu na mesa.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.

30Ba-Falisye mpe milongisi ya Misiku yina vwandaka na kimvuka ya bawu nyungutaka mpe tubaka na bilandi ya Yesu: «Samu na yinki beno ke kudyaka mpe kunwaka kintwadi na bilokoti-mpaku mpe misumuki?»But the Pharisees and their scribes complained to Jesus’ disciples, “Why do you eat and drink with tax collectors and sinners?”

31Yesu vutulaka: «Bantu ya mavimpi ya mbote kele ve na nsatu ya dokotolo, kasi ni bambevo kele na nsatu ya yandi.Jesus answered, “It is not the healthy who need a doctor, but the sick.

32Mu me kwiza ve samu na kubokila bantu ya kudedama, kasi misumuki samu ti bawu soba nkadulu.»I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners, to repentance.”

33Ba-Falisye tubaka na Yesu: «Konso ntangu, bilandi ya Yowane ke mangaka na kudya samu na Nzambi, mpe ke sambilaka mingi, mutindu mosi mpe bilandi ya beto. Kasi samu na yinki bilandi ya nge ke kudyaka mpe ke kunwaka konso ntangu?»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 vutulaka: «Beno lenda kuyimina ve bantu yina ba me bokila na mukembo ya makwela na kudya ntangu mulumi ke ntete na kati-kati ya bawu.Jesus replied, “Can you make the guests of the bridegroom fast while He is with them?

35Kasi bilumbu ke kwiza yina ba ke katula bawu mulumi. Na bilumbu yina, bawu ke manga na kudya samu na Nzambi.»But the time will come when the bridegroom will be taken from them; then they will fast.”

36Yesu tubilaka dyaka bawu kingana yayi: Ata muntu ke bakaka kitende ya kinkuti ya malu-malu samu na kulonda kinkuti ya ntama. Kana muntu sala mutindu yina, kinkuti ya malu-malu ke pasuka, mpe kitende ya kinkuti ya malu-malu ke simba ve na kinkuti ya ntama.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.

37Mutindu mosi mpe, ba ke tulaka ve vinu ya malu-malu na basaki ya ntama ya mpusu ya kibulu. Kana ve vinu ya malu-malu ke pasula yawu. Vinu ke mwangana na ntoto, mpe basaki yina ke pasuka.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.

38Kasi ba ke tulaka vinu ya malu-malu na kati ya basaki ya malu-malu ya mpusu ya kibulu.Instead, new wine is poured into new wineskins.

39Konso muntu yina ke kunwa vinu ya ntama, ke vwanda dyaka ve na nsatu ya kunwa vinu ya malu-malu. Ya tsyelika, yandi ke tuba: «Vinu ya ntama me lutila mbote.»And no one after drinking old wine wants new, for he says, ‘The old is better.’”
