Luke 5 (MWE) · Opened

1Lyubha limo a Yeshu bhashinkujima nnyenje litanda lya Geneshaleti na bhandu bhabhagwinji bhalibhaatimbililenje bhalinokolananga nkwabhandishila, kupinga pilikanishiya lilobhe lya a Nnungu.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,

2Gubhajibhweni mitumbwi jibhili nnyenje litanda. Ashaayene bhatanda yamaki bhashinkutulukanga kualaya mau gabhonji.He saw two boats at the edge of the lake. The fishermen had left them and were washing their nets.

3A Yeshu bhakajinjileje mumashua gumo gwaaliji gwa a Shimoni, gubhaalugulile a Shimoni bhaunokolesheye mmashi ga taliya kashoko na mumpelo litanda. Gubhatemi, gubhajigenye lugwinjili lwa bhandu bhali mmashua.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.

4Bhakamaliyeje kujiganya, gubhaalugulile a Shimoni, “Mpeleshe ntumbwi pa shilindili, nkatejelanje mau genunji ntandanje yamaki.”When Jesus had finished speaking, He said to Simon, “Put out into deep water and let down your nets for a catch.”

5A Shimoni gubhaajangwile, “Mmakulungwa, tushisheya shilo showeshi nkutanda yamaki ikabheje shakwa shitupatile, ikabheje pabha nkubhalanga mmwe, shindejele mau gano.”“Master,” Simon replied, “we have worked hard all night without catching anything. But because You say so, I will let down the nets.”

6Bhakatejelanjeje mau gabhonji, gubhapatilenje yamaki yaigwinji, nkali mau gugatandwibhe kukutuka.When they had done so, they caught such a large number of fish that their nets began to tear.

7Gubhaashemilenje ashaajabhonji bhalinginji mmitumbwi jina gubhaikengenenje kukwajangutanga, gubhagumbeyenje yamaki mitumbwi jinaabhili, gujitandwibhe kutitimila mmashi.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.

8A Shimoni Petili bhakabhoneje nneila, gubhaatindibhalile a Yeshu, gubhashite, “Mwiijabhulile apano Mmakulungwa, pabha nne nankulebha!”When Simon Peter saw this, he fell at Jesus’ knees. “Go away from me, Lord,” he said, “for I am a sinful man.”

9A Shimoni na ashaajabhonji gubhakanganigwenje gaapata yamaki yaigwinji nneila.For he and his companions were astonished at the catch of fish they had taken,

10Nneila peila a Yakobho na a Yowana bhana bha a Shebhedayo bhalinginji bhatanda yamaki ajabhonji a Shimoni gubhakanganigwenje. A Yeshu gubhaalugulile a Shimoni, “Nnajogope, kutandubhila nnaino nkatanda yamaki, ikabheje liengo lyenu shilibhe lya tanda bhandu.”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.”

11Bhai bhakajikwakwatanjeje mitumbwi jila mpaka palanga ja litanda, gubhaleshilenje yowe gubhaakagulenje a Yeshu.And when they had brought their boats ashore, they left everything and followed Him.

12A Yeshu pubhaliji, kushilambo shimo, jwannume jumo jwa mangundula shiilu showe, gwabhabhweni. Bhai akwiigwiyaga namanguku alikwaajuga a Yeshu alinkuti, “Mmakulungwa, mpingaga, shinndakaye.”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.”

13A Yeshu gubhagolweye nkono gubhankwashiye akuno bhalibheleketa, “Ngunipinga, utakate!” Shangupe mangundula gala gakunshokaga.Jesus reached out His hand and touched the man. “I am willing,” He said. “Be clean!” And immediately the leprosy left him.

14A Yeshu gubhannalajile mundu jula bhalinkuti, “Unammalanjile mundu jojowe, ikabhe ukailanguye ku bhakulungwa bhaabhishila, ukashoye mbepei ya takata kwako, malinga shijilugula shalia ja a Musha, ibhe ukong'ondelo kunngwabhonji kuti utekete.”“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.”

15Ikabheje ngani ja a Yeshu jikupundaga kushuma kowe. Makundi ga bhandu gugalopweshe kukwapilikanishiya na kulamywa ilwele yabhonji.But the news about Jesus spread all the more, and great crowds came to hear Him and to be healed of their sicknesses.

16Ikabheje a Yeshu, papagwinji bhatendaga kwenda ku jika kukwaajuga a Nnungu.Yet He frequently withdrew to the wilderness to pray.

17Lyubha limo a Yeshu bhatendagajiganya. Mapalishayo na bhaajiganya bha shalia kukoposhela mmbali yowe ya shilambo sha ku Galilaya na ku Yudea na ku Yelushalemu pubhalinginji popo bhatemingene. Na mashili ga Bhakulungwa pugaaliji na a Yeshu nkupinga bhaalamyanje bhalwelenji.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.

18Kashokope gubhaikengene bhandunji bhannjigelenje mmashila mundu jwa poloka, gubhalinjilenje kunnjinjiya nkati bhampelekanje kwa a Yeshu. 5:18Just then some men came carrying a paralyzed man on a mat. They tried to bring him inside to set him before Jesus,

19Ikabheje kwa ligongo lya gwinji gwa bhandu, bhangakombolanga kujinjiya nkati. Bhai gubhakwelilenje kushipagala, gubhapenwilenje nigubhantulwiyenje mundu jwa poloka jula na mashila, mpaka pakati pakati ja bhandunji mmujo ja a Yeshu.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.

20A Yeshu bhakajibhoneje ngulupai jabhonji, gubhannugulile mundu jula, “Ambwiga nneshelelwe yambi yenu.”When Jesus saw their faith, He said, “Friend, your sins are forgiven.”

21Mapalishayo na bhaajandika bha shalia gubhatandwibhenje kwiibhuyanga, “Bhenebha ni agani bhakwaakupulu a Nnungubha? Jwakwapi mundu akombola kuleshelela yambi ikabhe a Nnungu jikape!”But the scribes and Pharisees began thinking to themselves, “Who is this man who speaks blasphemy? Who can forgive sins but God alone?”

22Ikabheje a Yeshu gubhaimanyi ng'aniyo yabhonji, gubhaabhushiyenje, “Kwa nndi nnakwiibhuyanga genega mmitima jenunji?Knowing what they were thinking, Jesus replied, “Why are you thinking these things in your hearts?

23Shei shipepeshe, kubheleketa, ‘Uleshelelwe yambi,’ eu ‘Jima ujende?’Which is easier: to say, ‘Your sins are forgiven,’ or to say, ‘Get up and walk’?

24Bhai pungupinga mmumanyanje kuti Mwana juka Mundu ashipegwa mashili ga leshelela bhandu yambi yabhonji pa shilambolyo.” Penepo gubhammalanjile mundu jwa poloka jula, “Jima tola likai lyako guijendele kumui.”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.”

25Shangupe, mundu jwa poloka jula gwajimi pa meyo gabhonji, gwatolile likai lyakwe, gwapite kumui akuno alikwaakuya a Nnungu.And immediately the man stood up before them, took what he had been lying on, and went home glorifying God.

26Bhowe gubhakanganigwenje na shijogopele, gubhaakushiyenje a Nnungu, bhalinkutinji, “Lelo tuibhweni ilapo.”Everyone was taken with amazement and glorified God. They were filled with awe and said, “We have seen remarkable things today.”

27Gakapiteje genego, a Yeshu gubhakopweshe palanga gubhaaweni bhakamula koli bhamo bhashemwaga a Lawi bhatemi nnyumba ja kamulila koli. A Yeshu gubhaabhalanjile, “Nngagule!”After this, Jesus went out and saw a tax collector named Levi sitting at the tax booth. “Follow Me,” He told him,

28A Lawi gubhajimi gubhaleshile yowe gubhaakagwile.and Levi got up, left everything, and followed Him.

29A Lawi gubhaashemele a Yeshu shalya kunngwabho. Na likundi likulungwa lya bhakamula koli na bhandunji bhana pubhalinginji popo bhatemingenenje nkulya.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.

30Mapalishayo na bhaajiganya bha shalia bhalinginji nkumbi gumo, bhakwaainginishilangaga bhaajiganywa bha a Yeshu bhalinkutinji. “Kwanndi nnalyanganga na papila na bhakamula koli na bhandunji bhakwetenje yambi?”But the Pharisees and their scribes complained to Jesus’ disciples, “Why do you eat and drink with tax collectors and sinners?”

31A Yeshu gubhaajangwilenje, “Bhabhakotonji bhakakunnoleyanga mmitela, ikabheje bhakunnoleyanga mmitela bhalwelenji.Jesus answered, “It is not the healthy who need a doctor, but the sick.

32Nangajiya kukwaloleyanga bhanguja, ikabhe bhakwetenje yambi nkupinga bhaipetanje.”I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners, to repentance.”

33Bhandunji bhala gubhaalugulilenje a Yeshu, “Bhaajiganywa bha a Yowana Bhabhatisha bhanatabhanga mobhaga na juga, nkali bhaajiganywa bha Mapalishayo pubhatendanga nneyo peyo. Ikabheje bhaajiganywa bhenu mmwe bhanalyanganga na ng'wa.”Then they said to Him, “John’s disciples and those of the Pharisees frequently fast and pray, but Yours keep on eating and drinking.”

34A Yeshu gubhaajangwilenje, “Bhuli, ashaambwigamundu bhaka nkulomba, bhalipinjikwanga kutabha akuno bhatemingene pamo na nnyene nkulomba?Jesus replied, “Can you make the guests of the bridegroom fast while He is with them?

35Shigaishe mobha, nkulomba shibhanshoyanje pa bhandupo, penepo shibhatabhanje.”But the time will come when the bridegroom will be taken from them; then they will fast.”

36A Yeshu gubhaabhalanjilenje aluno lutango luno nkupinga kwaajiganyanga. “Jwakwa mundu apapula shibhamba ngubho ja ambi nitotela munngubho ja bhukala, ibhaga atendaga nneyo shajiangabhanye ja ambijo, na shibhambasho shikatolana na nngubho ja bhukalajo.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.

37Wala jwakwa mundu ataga divai ja ambi mmipatila ja bhukala, pabha divai ja ambijo shijipwengule mipatila ja bhukalajo, mipatila shijipwengushe na divai shijijitishe.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.

38Divai ja ambi pataga mmipatila ja ambi.Instead, new wine is poured into new wineskins.

39Jwakwa mundu jikunnonyela kung'wa divai ja ambi ang'waga ja bhukala, pabha bhakutinji, ‘Ja bhukala ni ja mmbone kaje.’ ”And no one after drinking old wine wants new, for he says, ‘The old is better.’”
