Luke 5 (SBY) · Opened

1Busuba nabumbi Yesu walikuba wemana mumbali mwa lwenje lwa Genesaleti. Bantu bangi bali kabanyakana kwambeti banyumfwe Maswi a Lesa.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,

2Lino Yesu walabona mato abili asungwa mumbali, beshikushina inswi balikuba balafumumo kabasuka tombe twabo.He saw two boats at the edge of the lake. The fishermen had left them and were washing their nets.

3Yesu walengila mubwato bumo ubo bwalikuba bwa Shimoni, neye walasengeti abunyakileko pa lwenje. Walekala mubwato nekutatika kwiyisha 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.

4Mpwalapwisha kwiyisha, walambila Shimoni eti, “Bunyakileni bwato pakati, kwambeti muwale tombe twenu mumenshi mwikate inswi.”When Jesus had finished speaking, He said to Simon, “Put out into deep water and let down your nets for a catch.”

5Shimoni walakumbuleti, “Shikwiyisha, kufuma mashiku bulatucele tuliya kwikatapo inswi, pakwinga mulamba njamwe ningwale tombe.”“Master,” Simon replied, “we have worked hard all night without catching anything. But because You say so, I will let down the nets.”

6Lino balawala tombe twabo, nekwikata inswi shingi, tombe twabo twalatatika kupasuka.When they had done so, they caught such a large number of fish that their nets began to tear.

7Lino balakuwa banabo balikuba mubwato bumbi kwambeti bese babanyafweko kusabula, naboyo balesa, nomba balesusha mato abili nkayanda kwibila.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.

8Shimoni Petulo mpwalaboneco walasuntama pantangu pa Yesu nekwambeti, “Kamundekelela Mwami Pakwinga ndeshikwinsa byaipa.”When Simon Peter saw this, he fell at Jesus’ knees. “Go away from me, Lord,” he said, “for I am a sinful man.”

9Shimoni ne banendi balenseco pakwinga balakankamana pa kufula kwa inswi isho nshobalekata.For he and his companions were astonished at the catch of fish they had taken,

10Neco Jemusi ne Yohane bana bendi Zebediya kayi nebanendi Shimoni, naboyo balakankamana. Lino Yesu walambila Shimoni eti, “Kotatina pakwinga kufuma lelo nube weshikwikata 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.”

11Popelapo balatanta mato ayo kuya kutala kwa mulonga, balashiya byonse nekunkokela Yesu.And when they had brought their boats ashore, they left everything and followed Him.

12Yesu mpwalikuba mumunshi naumbi walakumana ne muntu wali kukolwa bulwashi bwa mankuntu mubili wonse. Mpwalabona Yesu mulwashi uyu walasuntama kuntangu nekumusengeti, “Mwami ndicishi kwambeti mukute ngofu shakusengula nsenguleni.”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 walatandabula likasa lyakendi, walamwikata ne kwambeti, “Ee ndayandanga, koba cena!” Popelapo mankuntu alapwa.Jesus reached out His hand and touched the man. “I am willing,” He said. “Be clean!” And immediately the leprosy left him.

14Kufumapo Yesu walamwambileti, “Konyumfwa, kotambila muntu nambi umo makani awa. Nomba obe ululame wenga kuli beshikwiyisha, uyenga ulileshe kuli beshimilumbo kwambeti ulaba cena. Uye ubenge bupe kwelana ne ncalamba Mose kwambeti bantu bashometi ulaba cena.”“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.”

15Necikabeco impuwo ya Yesu yalanyumfwika kubantu bangi. Neco bantu balikwisa kuli endiye kwambeti banyumfwe Maswi akendi kayi nekubasengula malwashi abo.But the news about Jesus spread all the more, and great crowds came to hear Him and to be healed of their sicknesses.

16Lino nendi Yesu walaya kwa enka akupaila.Yet He frequently withdrew to the wilderness to pray.

17Nabumbi busuba Yesu walikeyisha, popelapo palikuba Bafalisi ne beshikwiyisha milawo nabambi. Bantu aba balafuma muminshi yonse ya ku Galileya, ku Yudeya kayi neku Yelusalemu. Ngofu sha Lesa shalikuba muli Yesu kwambeti abasengule.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.

18Kufumapo bantu nabambi balaleta mutuloba walikuba watontola mubili nkabali bamunyamuna pa mpasa. Balelesha kwambeti bamwingishe mu ng'andeti bamoneke pantangu pa Yesu.Just then some men came carrying a paralyzed man on a mat. They tried to bring him inside to set him before Jesus,

19Naboyo balikuyanda kumwingishila pacishinga, lino pakwinga bantu balafula balalilwa kwambeti bamutwale mukati. Neco balatanta nendi pa ciluli ca ng'anda ne kupasula mulyango, balamwingisha ne kumulelesha pampasa yakendi pakati pabantu ne kumushikisha pantangu pa 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 mpwalabona kushoma kwakendi, “Walambeti, bwipishi bwakobe bulalekelelwa.”When Jesus saw their faith, He said, “Friend, your sins are forgiven.”

21Lino beshikwiyisha Milawo kayi ne Bafalisi balatatika kwipushaneti, “Nomba uyu niyani lanyashanga Lesa? Niyani welela kulekelela bwipishi sena nte Lesa enka?”But the scribes and Pharisees began thinking to themselves, “Who is this man who speaks blasphemy? Who can forgive sins but God alone?”

22Lino Yesu walenshiba ncobalikuyeya mumyoyo yabo neku bepusheti, “Nomba mulayeyelenga cani bintu bya mushoboyo mu myoyo yenu?Knowing what they were thinking, Jesus replied, “Why are you thinking these things in your hearts?

23Nicipeyo capuba kwambila muntu eti, ‘Bwipishi bwakobe bulalekelelwa,’ Nambi kwambeti, ‘Nyamuka, wende’Which is easier: to say, ‘Your sins are forgiven,’ or to say, ‘Get up and walk’?

24Lino ndayandanga kumwambileti mwinshibe kwambeti mwana muntu ukute ngofu shakulekelela bwipishi pacishi ca panshi.” Kufumapo walambila usa watontola mubileti, “Ndakwambilinga, nyamuka, manta mpasa yakobe wenga kucomwenu.”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.”

25Popelapo walapunduka bonse kabalanga nemenso abo, walamanta mpasa mpwalikuba wona nekutatika kuya nkalumbaisha Lesa.And immediately the man stood up before them, took what he had been lying on, and went home glorifying God.

26Bantu bonse balakankamana kayi balatina. Lino balatatika kulumbaisha Lesa ne kwambeti, “Ici ncotulabono lelo, nkatutana tucibonapo sobwe.”Everyone was taken with amazement and glorified God. They were filled with awe and said, “We have seen remarkable things today.”

27Popelapo Yesu walafuma pansa nekubona weshikusonkesha musonko walikukwiweti Levi, nkali ekala mu ng'anda yamusonko.Yesu walamwambileti, “Nkonkele.”After this, Jesus went out and saw a tax collector named Levi sitting at the tax booth. “Follow Me,” He told him,

28Popelapo neye walanyamuka, nekushiya byonse nekumukonkela.and Levi got up, left everything, and followed Him.

29Lino Levi walabamba byakulya bingi kwambeti basekelele ne Yesu mu ng'anda yakendi. Kwalikuba beshikusonkesha misonko bangi ne bantu nabambi kabalya pamo.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.

30Bafalisi nabambi ne beshikwiyisha milawo balatatika kudandaulila beshikwiya ba Yesu eti, “Nomba nicani mulalyelenga nekunwa pamo ne beshikusonkesha kayi ne bantu babwipishi?”But the Pharisees and their scribes complained to Jesus’ disciples, “Why do you eat and drink with tax collectors and sinners?”

31Lino Yesu walabakumbuleti, “Bayumi nkabakute kulangaula mu ng'anga sobwe, nsombi balwashi.Jesus answered, “It is not the healthy who need a doctor, but the sick.

32Ndiya kwishila balulama nsombi babwipishi kwambeti basanduke mu myoyo yabo.”I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners, to repentance.”

33Bantu nabambi balepusha Yesu eti, “Beshikwiya ba Yohane mubatishi bali kuba necindi cakulikanisha kulya nekupaila, naboyo beshikwiya ba Bafalisi bangi balikwinsa copeleco, bakobe baliya cindi camushoboyo, balo bakute kulya ne kunwowa.”Then they said to Him, “John’s disciples and those of the Pharisees frequently fast and pray, but Yours keep on eating and drinking.”

34Lino Yesu walabakumuleti, “Sena balikubwinga ingamubakakatisha kutalya nebanabo, shibwinga kacilipo? Sobwe!Jesus replied, “Can you make the guests of the bridegroom fast while He is with them?

35Nsombi cindi nicikashike shibwinga mpoti bakamufunyepo pali endibo, Lino ico cindi nibakalikanishe kulya.”But the time will come when the bridegroom will be taken from them; then they will fast.”

36Kufumapo Yesu walabambila cikoshanisho eti, “Kuliya muntu welela kukwamuna cimami cacikwisa caina nekutunga pa cakufwala cakeendi. Nkela kwinseco pakwinga naco ngacononga cikwisa kayi cimami nkacela kwendelana pacakufwala ico sobwe.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.

37Kuliya muntu welela kubika waini walino lino munkomwa yacipaya cakendi. Nalabikimo waini walino lino ukute kupasula nkomwa. Waini wonse ngawitika ne konongeka.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.

38Nomba waini walino lino welela kubikiwa mucinkuli calino lino.Instead, new wine is poured into new wineskins.

39Kuliya muntu welela kuyanda kunwa waini walino lino na lanu waini wakaindi pakwinga mukute kwambeti, ‘Usa wakaindi ewaina.’”And no one after drinking old wine wants new, for he says, ‘The old is better.’”
