Luke 5 (TBX) · Opened

1Bouk ti eno Yesu la nale wou lounyeing Genesaret nenyawes, me xomaxoneing ngenong la vingama e vivekwou e, me di ngo Anutu xe xoulek.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,

2Yesu yei bot yayuw di yeip wou lounyeing nenyawes, xel wei mi qou woing eno la veil, en xel la di sekweyexe xel xe lewek.He saw two boats at the edge of the lake. The fishermen had left them and were washing their nets.

3Yesu lek la eivek bot ti, tiyon Simon xe, me teling wou Simon bei e tendu bot na nayaka veil lounyeing nenyawes. Woyom la dei lek bot me teyoxe xel ngenongakes on.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.

4Gyeik ingwei e neil xoulek woy, eno neil wou Simon bei, “Tendu bot e la eivek memiing manghembi me nex lewek teila eivek en kandek na puw woing o.”When Jesus had finished speaking, He said to Simon, “Put out into deep water and let down your nets for a catch.”

5Simon lewexe bei, “Teiv, boukeing tine xa wong xuk ngandoung ek xa se qou lulti. Ekom wang neil, om tyek a nox banex lewek na eivek memiing no.”“Master,” Simon replied, “we have worked hard all night without catching anything. But because You say so, I will let down the nets.”

6Gyeik xel wong ambei nyon eno woing ngenong eivek me lewek embei tax.When they had done so, they caught such a large number of fish that their nets began to tear.

7Om xel nex memend en xel wei xel xouing mi wong xuk lekti wei toundei lek bot nge yo me xel lam vind xel me toung woing eivek bot luw xouing me e puplek om wong bot luw xouing di teila eivek memiing lalei.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.

8Gyeik ingwei Simon Petele yei inyon, eno la ev vaxa qatu eivek wou Yesu me neil embei, “Tambiy Ngandoung, la veil ay, en a moux wei sewokeing o.”When Simon Peter saw this, he fell at Jesus’ knees. “Go away from me, Lord,” he said, “for I am a sinful man.”

9En e is liyeiw dalus wei toundei is e eno etek en ingwei xel qou woing ngenong o.For he and his companions were astonished at the catch of fish they had taken,

10Me Sebedi neu Jems aluw Yoan wei luw mi wong xuk woing is Simon, eno luw yei me etek is. Woyom Yesu neil wou Simon bei, “Wa seng gwaleeng. En gweimbeeng me e mi na eno tyek wang bong xuk me na qou xomaxoneing.”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.”

11Om xel puw xel xe bot luw xouing la nale yasewis, woyom xel ghanaw lulul dalus toundei de la betiwou Yesu.And when they had brought their boats ashore, they left everything and followed Him.

12Ka Yesu toundei eivek beyeeng ti, eno tambiy ti lam, ninavi pup en vanei lepa. Gyeik ingwei yei Yesu, moxo yeip ma eivek tembuing wou e me tay wou e, “Tambiy Ngandoung, wangwei wa laleim devind ond wang bong am bo nimzalek.”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 tatei mema la me axlek moux tiyon. Moxo neil embei, “A laleing vind, wang bo nimzalek!” De lutika eno lepa ma veil e.Jesus reached out His hand and touched the man. “I am willing,” He said. “Be clean!” And immediately the leprosy left him.

14Woyom Yesu luk nikanzek wou embei, “Wa se neil wou xelti, qe la, me talex xow wou lumuki, me ghe bong xound na nambei Mose neil o en e talex bei wang wo nimzalek, en xel boulek bei wa xe vanei ma.”“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.”

15De pavulek wei Yesu eno la wo ngandoung, om xomaxoneing ngenong lam me ngo e de moxo wong xel xe vanei wo nimzalek.But the news about Jesus spread all the more, and great crowds came to hear Him and to be healed of their sicknesses.

16Ekom Yesu venaxow mi la veil xel me la tembuing bandaing me la zeimema.Yet He frequently withdrew to the wilderness to pray.

17Bouk ti gyeik Yesu di teyoxe moux alis vex me dei, eno xel Parisi me xel putoung wei petieing eno xel lam anghei beyeeng dalus wei Galili me Yudia me beyeeng Yerusalem, me la toundei inyei. Me Tambiy Ngandoung xe nikanzek lam eivek Yesu me e wong moux alis vex xe vanei wo nimzalek.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.

18Xel moux valu qalei tambiy wei bezomb o ti lek lelek me lam, xel di wong me yei en xel embei qou e me na xomek lalei me na niw wou Yesu ma.Just then some men came carrying a paralyzed man on a mat. They tried to bring him inside to set him before Jesus,

19Gyeik ingwei xel lam eno xel ngenongakes toundei zeyi om xel se teyeimbei gyeiwou sakwaing ti me na eivek xomek lalei. Om xel lek xomek demi qetyei me gwang danghei ti me byex yis lek lelek me wong tambiy on di teila kaka eivek moux alis vex senghoing wou Yesu ma.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.

20Gyeik ingwei Yesu yei xel xe wongeingis, moxo neil embei, “Gweleeng, a semaleeng wa xe sewokeing.”When Jesus saw their faith, He said, “Friend, your sins are forgiven.”

21Xel Parisi me xel putoung wei petieing o di wou eivek naleind, “Eti ingwei embei qou Anutu nimbeeng nei? Xelti se teyeimbei semaleeng sewokeing, qe Anutu venaxow.”But the scribes and Pharisees began thinking to themselves, “Who is this man who speaks blasphemy? Who can forgive sins but God alone?”

22Yesu woulek vati wei xel di wou naleind en o me teling, “Nambei nya xam ghe di wou naleimim en lulti beimambei ne eivek laleimim?Knowing what they were thinking, Jesus replied, “Why are you thinking these things in your hearts?

23Qayeeng vati teyei bei neileing, ‘A semaleeng wa xe sewokeing’ o neileing bei, ‘Wa qandi lek me ghe na?’Which is easier: to say, ‘Your sins are forgiven,’ or to say, ‘Get up and walk’?

24Ekom inyon xam ghe boulek bei Xomaxoneing Neu Moux qou lei ngandoung lek tembuing en embei semaleeng sewokeing.” Moxo neil wou moux ti bezombeing on, “A neil wou wang, qandi lek, qou wa xe lelek me la bam.”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.”

25Lutika eno moxo qandi lek wou moux alis vex mend me qou e xe vati wei yeip lek o me la beeng de di sanghoxe Anutu.And immediately the man stood up before them, took what he had been lying on, and went home glorifying God.

26Xomaxoneing dalus etek en ingwei xel yei Anutu xe nikanzek me poux zeng, de sanghoxe Anutu me neil embei, “Xey a xei lulvako ngandoung gweimbeeng.”Everyone was taken with amazement and glorified God. They were filled with awe and said, “We have seen remarkable things today.”

27Ka tine la veil eno Yesu la myayaing me yei tambiy wei mi qou takis o ti lei Livai eno toundei eivek xomek takis. Yesu neil wou bei, “Wa betiy ay.”After this, Jesus went out and saw a tax collector named Levi sitting at the tax booth. “Follow Me,” He told him,

28Livai qandi lek me ghanaw lulul dalus de betiwou e.and Levi got up, left everything, and followed Him.

29Woyom Livai wong mata ngandoung ti wou Yesu eivek xomek wei e nei me xel qendu ngandoung wei mi qou takis o me xel valu lam ya is xel.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.

30Ekom xel Parisi me xel putoung wei petieing o eivek qendu wei Parisi yo di neil Yesu xe xel betiyeing, “Nambei nya xam ghe di wa me ghe num is xel wei mi qou takis me xel wei sewokeing o?”But the Pharisees and their scribes complained to Jesus’ disciples, “Why do you eat and drink with tax collectors and sinners?”

31Yesu lewexe me neil embei, “Xel wei vanei ma eno se mi la wou dokta, qe xel wei vanei yo.Jesus answered, “It is not the healthy who need a doctor, but the sick.

32A se lam bei taxe xel wei bombek o, qe xel wei sewokeing o en xel pekwi xow.”I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners, to repentance.”

33De xel neil wou embei, “Xel betiyeing wei Yoan o di vambu yaeing me zeimemend me xel betiyeing wei Parisi yo is, ekom ingwei wang eno di wo eisanou lek yaeing me numeing.”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 lewexe bei, “Wang teyei bei bong xel wei lam toundei is tambiy wei embei dii vex eno vambu yaeing gyeik e toundei is xel o?Jesus replied, “Can you make the guests of the bridegroom fast while He is with them?

35Ekom bouk tyek nam gyeik ingwei xel a qou tambiy tiwei embei dii vex eno me na veil xel, on tyek eivek bouk kayon eno xel vambu yaeing.”But the time will come when the bridegroom will be taken from them; then they will fast.”

36Me Yesu neil qayeeng pakeing tine wou xel bei, “Xelti se mi qateiv teimb ding myasepu wei vako yo me duw eivek ingwei takwei yo. Wangwei e bong ambei nyon, on tyek zex teimb ding wei vako yo, de ing vako eno tyek se ghok ingwei takwei yo.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.

37Me xelti se mi taw wain nilouk vako eivek wain takwei ninavi. Wangwei e bong ambei nyon on tyek wain vako zex wain ninavi, de wain tyek na taw veil de wain ninavi zex me bo nol.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.

38Ma, xel a taw wain vako eivek wain ninavi vako.Instead, new wine is poured into new wineskins.

39Me xel tiwei num wain takwei eno tyek laleind se devind bei na num vako, en tyek na neimbei, ‘Takwei nimza.’”And no one after drinking old wine wants new, for he says, ‘The old is better.’”
