Luke 5 (SHR) · Opened

1Lêro lusiku luguma erhi olubaga lumulundûkîre mpu luyumve oluderho lwa Nnâmahanga, erhi naye ayîmanzire eburhambi bw’enyanja y’e Jenezareti,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,

2anacibona mârho abiri masîke eburhambi bw’enyanja; abashâna erhi bayômosire, badwîrhe bashuka orhwêshe rhwâbo.He saw two boats at the edge of the lake. The fishermen had left them and were washing their nets.

3Anacijamwo bwârho buguma, bwa Simoni; amubwîra mpu acîyêgûle hitya n’obwimango. Anacibwârhala, arhondêra ayigîriza olubaga omu bwârho.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.

4Erhi ayûs’iderha, abwîra Simoni, erhi: «Musûle amârho emuhengere, murhege orhwêshe rhwinyu».When Jesus had finished speaking, He said to Simon, “Put out into deep water and let down your nets for a catch.”

5Simoni amushuza, erhi: «Waliha, rhwalibusire obudufu bwoshi, rhurhanabwîne cici; ci oku kanwa kâwe, nkolaga narhega orhwêshe».“Master,” Simon replied, “we have worked hard all night without catching anything. But because You say so, I will let down the nets.”

6Erhi babà bamâjira ntyo, bagwârha nfî nyinji bwenêne, ciru orhwêshe rhwâbo rhwalonz’irhulika.When they had done so, they caught such a large number of fish that their nets began to tear.

7Banacikema abâbo bali omu bundi bwârho, mpu bayish’ibagwâsa. Bayisha, bayunjuza amârho gombi, ciru hindi hitya galonz’ilohoma.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.

8Simoni-Petro, erhi abona okwo, acîrhimba aha magulu ga Yezu, erhi: «Ontengeho, Yâgirwa, bulya ndi muntu munya-byâha!»When Simon Peter saw this, he fell at Jesus’ knees. “Go away from me, Lord,” he said, “for I am a sinful man.”

9Bulya obwôba bwàli bumugwêrhe bo n’abàli boshi, erhi obwo budubi bw’enfî burhuma.For he and his companions were astonished at the catch of fish they had taken,

10Yakôbo na Yowane, bene Zebedeyo, bakâg’igenda boshi na Simoni, nabo kwo n’okwo. Yezu anacibwîra Simoni, erhi: «Orhayôbohaga: kurhenga ene bantu wakaz’iduba».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.”

11Okubundi banacisîka amârho gâbo oku cikwî, baleka byoshi, bamushimba.And when they had brought their boats ashore, they left everything and followed Him.

12Byanacibà ntyo! Erhi abà akola ali omu lugo luguma, hanaciyisha omuntu ohonyôsire lushomyo. Erhi abona Yezu, acîrhimba oku idaho, amusengera, erhi: «Yâgirwa, okalonza, wananfumya».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.”

13Naye anacilambûla okuboko, amuhumakwo, anamubwîra, erhi: «Nnonzize, fumaga». Ho na halya olushomyo lw’olya muntu lwazimangana.Jesus reached out His hand and touched the man. “I am willing,” He said. “Be clean!” And immediately the leprosy left him.

14Anacimuhanza mpu arhabwîraga ndi, erhi: «Ogende, oj’icîyêrekana emwa omudâhwa, onaj’ihâna entûlo erhegesirwe na Mûsa, ebè cêrekane c’okufuma kwâwe».“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.”

15Irenge lyâge lyajà lyalumîra hoshi, na bantu mwandu bakamushubûkira mpu bamuyumve, anabafumye endwâla zâbo.But the news about Jesus spread all the more, and great crowds came to hear Him and to be healed of their sicknesses.

16Ci yêhe akacîyegûlira omu irungu, akashenga.Yet He frequently withdrew to the wilderness to pray.

17Kwanacibà lusiku luguma erhi adwîrhe ayigîriza. Hàli Abafarizeyi n’abayigîriza b’Amarhegeko bahubukaga omu ngasi cishagala c’e Galileya n’e Yûda n’e Yeruzalemu, n’obuhashe bwa Nyakasane erhi bumulimwo mpu lyo afumya.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.

18Hanaciyisha abantu babarhwîre omuntu ohozire enjingo oku ncingo; balonza oku bamuhisa omu nyumpa n’oku bamuhira embere zâge.Just then some men came carrying a paralyzed man on a mat. They tried to bring him inside to set him before Jesus,

19Erhi babula aha bamugereza erhi ngabo y’abantu erhuma, banacishona oku nyumpa, bamugereza aha burhungiri, aha karhî k’amatebura, bamuyandagaza n’encingo kuhika omu kâgarhî k’abantu embere za Yezu.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.

20Erhi abona obwêmêre bwâbo, amubwîra, erhi: «We mulume, ebyâha byâwe byamârhenzibwa».When Jesus saw their faith, He said, “Friend, your sins are forgiven.”

21Abafarizeyi n’abashamuka b’ihano barhondêra bakengêra omu murhima, mpu: «Ye ndi oyu walogorha ntya? Ka hali owankarhenza ebyâha arhanali Nnâmahanga yênene?»But the scribes and Pharisees began thinking to themselves, “Who is this man who speaks blasphemy? Who can forgive sins but God alone?”

22Yezu abona enkengêro zâbo, abashuza, erhi: «Cirhumire mukengêra ntyo omu mirhima yinyu?Knowing what they were thinking, Jesus replied, “Why are you thinking these things in your hearts?

23“Kuci kulembu kulusha, okuderha, erhi”: “ebyâha byâwe byamârhenzibwa”, “erhi okuderha, erhi”: “yimuka, olambagire?”Which is easier: to say, ‘Your sins are forgiven,’ or to say, ‘Get up and walk’?

24“Lêro lyo mumanya oku Mwene-omuntu agwêrhe obuhashe bw’okukûla ebyâha en’igulu”, “-anacibwîra nyakuhola enjingo, erhi”-: “Nkurhegesire oyimuke, oyanke encingo yâwe, oj’emwâwe”».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.”

25Ho na halya, ayimuka embere z’abantu boshi, abarhula erya ncingo àli agwishirekwo, acîjira emwâge, aj’akuza Nyamuzinda.And immediately the man stood up before them, took what he had been lying on, and went home glorifying God.

26Boshi barhangâla, bakuza Nnâmahanga; bageramwo omusisi, banarhondêra baderha, mpu: «Rhwabwîne ebirhangâzo ene».Everyone was taken with amazement and glorified God. They were filled with awe and said, “We have seen remarkable things today.”

27Enyuma ly’okwo, anacihuluka, abona omuvurhîsa, ye Levi, erhi atamîre e kagombe k’okuhôza, amubwîra, erhi: «Nshimba!»After this, Jesus went out and saw a tax collector named Levi sitting at the tax booth. “Follow Me,” He told him,

28Anacileka byoshi, ayimuka, amushimba.and Levi got up, left everything, and followed Him.

29Levi amurheganyiza idinie omu mwâge; bavurhîsa mwandu n’abandi bantu nabo bâli oku cîbo bo nabo.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.

30Abafarizeyi n’abashamuka bâbo b’ihano bagaya, banabwîra abaganda bâge, mpu: «Cirhuma mulira munanywera haguma n’abavurhîsa n’abanya-byâha?»But the Pharisees and their scribes complained to Jesus’ disciples, “Why do you eat and drink with tax collectors and sinners?”

31Yezu anacibashuza, erhi: «Barhali bantu bagumagumà balonza omufumu, ci abalwâla.Jesus answered, “It is not the healthy who need a doctor, but the sick.

32Ntayishaga nti nd’ilonza abêru-kwêru, ci abanya-byâha, lyo bacîyunjuza».I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners, to repentance.”

33Nabo banacimubwîra, mpu: «Ci abaganda ba Yowane banacîshalise kanji kanji n’okushenga, n’ah’Abafarizeyi kwo n’okwo, ci wêhe abâwe balya bananywe!»Then they said to Him, “John’s disciples and those of the Pharisees frequently fast and pray, but Yours keep on eating and drinking.”

34Yezu abashuza, erhi: «Ka mwankashalisa abîra b’omuhya-mulume n’omuhya-mulume aciri haguma nabo?Jesus replied, “Can you make the guests of the bridegroom fast while He is with them?

35“Ensiku zacibayishira, amango banyagwa omuhya-mulume, zo ensiku bâcîshalisemwo ezo”».But the time will come when the bridegroom will be taken from them; then they will fast.”

36Ashub’ibabwîra ogu mugani, erhi: «Ntâye obêra eciremwo c’omwambalo muhyâhya akacilemeka oku mwambalo mukulûkulù; n’owalemeka ntyo, erhi abezire gulya mwambalo muhyâhya, na cirya ciremwo c’omwambalo muhyâhya cirhankayumânana na gulya mukulûkulù.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.

37“Kandi ntâye ohongolera amamvu mahyâhya omu rhubindi rhukulûkulù”; “n’owahongoleramwo, galya mamvu mahyâhya ganabera orhubindi, amamvu gacîbulajikire, abule n’orhubindi”.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.

38“Ci amamvu mahyâhya gajà omu rhubindi rhuhyâhya”.Instead, new wine is poured into new wineskins.

39“Na ntà muntu wanywîre oku mamvu makulûkulù wankacilonza amahyâhya”. “Bulya anaderha, erhi”: “Amakulûkulù go manunu”».And no one after drinking old wine wants new, for he says, ‘The old is better.’”
