Luke 5 (SBS) · Opened

1Linu chikwa chitahala, Mukuti vantu vava kungeene kuzimbuluka Jesu ni kutekeleza linzwi lye Ireza, mi avali kuzimene he iyambezi lya Geneserate.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,

2Chavona mato ovele ni avakwitilwe he rizo lye iyambezi. bayambi civava kuzwile mwa teni mi vava kwete kushanza tunyandi twavo.He saw two boats at the edge of the lake. The fishermen had left them and were washing their nets.

3Jesu chechira muvumwi bwato, vuvali bwa Simone, chamucho kuti avusikule chivakazana kuzwa ha hamutunda. Chekala hansi ni ku luta vantu nena mubwato.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.

4Hamana kuwamba, cha wamba kwa Simone, “Twale bwato mumenzi male mi musohele tunyandi muchese.”When Jesus had finished speaking, He said to Simon, “Put out into deep water and let down your nets for a catch.”

5Simone chetaba ni kucho “Simwine twatenda masiku onse, kakwina chitwa chesa, kono cha linzwi lyako, munisohele tunyandi.”“Master,” Simon replied, “we have worked hard all night without catching anything. But because You say so, I will let down the nets.”

6Hava chita bulyo, chiva kunganya impalo ingi ye nswi, mane tunyandi twavo tuva kuhaloka.When they had done so, they caught such a large number of fish that their nets began to tear.

7chibawambila ba mwavo mubwato bumwi kuti beze zeba vava tuse. Chiveza ni kwizuza mato onse ovele, linu niva tanga kumina.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 Simone Pitorosi, havona vulyo, cha wa cha mazwi a Jesu chati, “Zwe kwangu kakuti ni muntu ni muvi, Simwine.”When Simon Peter saw this, he fell at Jesus’ knees. “Go away from me, Lord,” he said, “for I am a sinful man.”

9Kakuti avakomoketwe, mane nivonse vavali kwina naye, haku cheswa kwe nswi zivava hindi.For he and his companions were astonished at the catch of fish they had taken,

10Aha kuva kwina Jakovo ni Johani, vavali vaanaswisu va Zevedia vavali kusevelisana ni Simone. Mi Jesu chati kwa Simone “Kanji utiyi, kakuti kuzwa hanu mo mochese vantu.”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.”

11Haba leta mato avo hansi, civa siya zintu zonse niku mwi chilila.And when they had brought their boats ashore, they left everything and followed Him.

12Hakuva kuti avali kwina imwi toropo, mukwame yabezwile vutuku bwe mbingwa mwavena. Havona Jesu, cha wa cha chifateho ni ku mukumbila, nacho, “Simwine, haiva usaka uwola kuni joloza.”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.”

13mi Jesu cha wolola iyanza lyakwe nikumu kwata, nawamba, “Nisaka jolole.” mi haho bulyo imbingwa yakwe chiya zwa kwali.Jesus reached out His hand and touched the man. “I am willing,” He said. “Be clean!” And immediately the leprosy left him.

14Cha mulaela kuti sanzi awambili muntu, kono cha mucho kuti, “Liyendeze, mi ukalivonahaze kuba purisita mi ukatambike chitabelo cha ku jolozwa kwako, kuya ke taelo ya Mushe, ive vushupi kubali.”“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 ikande liamana naye chi lya yenda iñuwa, mi vungi bwa vantu chiva keza hamwina kwiza kumuzuwa na luta, mane nikuhozwa matuku abo.But the news about Jesus spread all the more, and great crowds came to hear Him and to be healed of their sicknesses.

16Kono inako ni inako cha zwa nikuya muzivaka zili mumatongo nikuka lapela.Yet He frequently withdrew to the wilderness to pray.

17Chikwa sika limwi zuva mwawo mazuva lyava kwete kuluta, mi kuvali kwina Mafarisi ni valuti va mulao vavali kwi kele mwateni kuzwila muminzi mingi ichinchana muzikiliti za Galileya ni Judeya, mane ni mwi tolopo ya Jerusalema. Ziho za Simwine zivali kwina naye za kuhoza.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.

18Lyahanu vamwi vakwame chivakeza, vavali kuhindite muntu yo lwala vutuku bwaku zuminina ha vulo, vavali kusaka mahitilo a kumwinjilika mukati ni kuka mulalika havusu bwa Jesu.Just then some men came carrying a paralyzed man on a mat. They tried to bring him inside to set him before Jesus,

19Kana vavali kuwola kuwana mahitilo o kumwinjilika mukati chevaka lya vantu vangi, linu chiva ya hewulu lya chituwa ni ku sezumwina mukwame hateni, havulo bwakwe, mukati ka vantu, hene havusu bwa 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.

20Chakuvona kuzumina kwavo, Jesu chati, “mukwame, zivi zako chiza swalelwa we.”When Jesus saw their faith, He said, “Friend, your sins are forgiven.”

21Va ñoli ni ma Farisi chivatanga kuli vuza ichi, nivati, “Njeni uzu yo wamba cha kunyansiliza? Njeni yowola kuswalela vuvi konji Ireza yeyena?”But the scribes and Pharisees began thinking to themselves, “Who is this man who speaks blasphemy? Who can forgive sins but God alone?”

22Kono Jesu, chalemuha zivavali kuhupula, chetava nikuwamba kuvali, “Chinzi hamukwete kuli vuza vulyo mwinkulo zenu,Knowing what they were thinking, Jesus replied, “Why are you thinking these things in your hearts?

23Njechihi chihuva kukuwamba, 'Zibi zako chiza swalelwa,' nikuta kuti 'zimane uyende?'Which is easier: to say, ‘Your sins are forgiven,’ or to say, ‘Get up and walk’?

24Kono kuti mwizive kuti Mwana Muntu wina inkamaiso zakuswalela zivi hansi, Ni wamba kwako, zimane, 'Hinde vulo bwako mi uyende kwinzuvo yako.'”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.”

25Haho vulyo cha zimana havusu bwavo ni kunyemuna vulo hava lele. Chavola kwinzuvo yakwe, nakavu kuchenchelela Ireza.And immediately the man stood up before them, took what he had been lying on, and went home glorifying God.

26Vonse vavakomoketwe niku chenchelela Ireza. Vave zwile kutiya, ni vati “Twavona zintu zihitilize sunu.”Everyone was taken with amazement and glorified God. They were filled with awe and said, “We have seen remarkable things today.”

27Hakumana kupangahala izi zintu, Jesu cha zwa mwateni umo mi avavoni Mutelisi we zina lya Levi nekele mwi tente lya kutambwila mitelo. Chamuta kuti, “Ni chilile.”After this, Jesus went out and saw a tax collector named Levi sitting at the tax booth. “Follow Me,” He told him,

28Linu Levi cha zimana ni kumwi chilila, kusiya zintu zonse kuma sule.and Levi got up, left everything, and followed Him.

29Linu Levi cha ha Jesu zilyo zingi munzuvo yakwe. Muvali kwina vatelisi vangi mwateni ni vantu vamwi vavali shamine he ntafule mi niva kwete kulya navo.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.

30Kono Vafarisi ni va ñoli vavo vavakwete kuvilela kuvalutwana vakwe, “chivati, Chinzi hamulya ni kunywa niva telisi niva vantu vachita vuvi?”But the Pharisees and their scribes complained to Jesus’ disciples, “Why do you eat and drink with tax collectors and sinners?”

31Jesu cha vetava, “Vantu vasa lwali kavasaki musiliki, konji balwala nji musaka.Jesus answered, “It is not the healthy who need a doctor, but the sick.

32Kena nivakezili kusumpa vantu vashiyeme kuku vaka, kono kusumpa vachita zivi ku ku vaka.I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners, to repentance.”

33Chivawamba kwali, “inako ni nako, valutwana va Johani valinyimanga zilyo niku lapela, ni ba lutwana vava Falisi vachita vulyo navo, kono va lutwana vako valya niku nywa.”Then they said to Him, “John’s disciples and those of the Pharisees frequently fast and pray, but Yours keep on eating and drinking.”

34Jesu chawamba kuvali, “Kana kwina yo wola kuwambila vena hamukiti wa musesi kuti vali nyime zilyo musesi nasina navo?”Jesus replied, “Can you make the guests of the bridegroom fast while He is with them?

35Kono mazuva akeza hete nazwiswe kuvali musesi, mi aho kavali nyime zilyo.”But the time will come when the bridegroom will be taken from them; then they will fast.”

36Linu Jesu cha wamba che huko kuvali. “Kakwina muntu yohalula isila hachizwato chihya niku lukila hesila ikulukulu. Mi hachita vulyo, mwahalule chizwato chihya, mi kasila kazwa ha chizwato chihya kete kaswanele ha chizwato chikulukulu.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.

37Kakwina yo vika i waine ihya muzivikiro ze waine ze dalo chikulukulu. Mi hachita vulyo i wine ihya muiñatule madalo, Mi iwaine muitike. Mi zivikilo ze wine ze dalo muziñatuke.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 i waine ihya iswanela kubikwa muzibikilo zedalo ziteketeke.Instead, new wine is poured into new wineskins.

39Mi kakwina yo chita kuti hamana kunywa iwaine yakale yosaka ihya, kakuti ucho kuti, “Yakale ina butuka.”And no one after drinking old wine wants new, for he says, ‘The old is better.’”
