Luke 5 (TYX) · Opened

1Yiisu áli átemene mu mukogho a bana lili Ngenedzarete. Mpwumu a baara yíyasa nde mpiŋi mu ogyughu Ndagha a Nzaami.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,

2Nde ámono mabwara mwolo ma bátwulu ŋa yulu a nseghe mu mukogho a bana. Ka óli a mbwuru mumo o, mu kuulu bilebe-banswi bísughuru ya bíkaswagha nkoho a bo.He saw two boats at the edge of the lake. The fishermen had left them and were washing their nets.

3Yiisu ákumu mu bwara butsyini bu búli bu bundaa Simõ, ya áluomo kundaa nde ti: «Sehe eke mu kara a madza.» Ya nde ábwi nsini ya ábaana oluo mampwumu ma baara.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.

4Bu amana obili, nde ályele kundaa Simõ ndiri: «Sehe a bwara ku oli madza yighi, ya litubu nkoho a be mu olebe banswi.»When Jesus had finished speaking, He said to Simon, “Put out into deep water and let down your nets for a catch.”

5Simõ ábvuhulu nde ti: «Muluo, bihi liimono mpara mu mpyibi yi nsyini, lo ka liibagha elogho o. Lo buulu we lyele, me likoho aafirintubu.»“Master,” Simon replied, “we have worked hard all night without catching anything. But because You say so, I will let down the nets.”

6Bu batubu likoho mu madza, bábagha banswi balagha, ya likoho li bo líbaana okagha.When they had done so, they caught such a large number of fish that their nets began to tear.

7Bo bákoro banganda ba bo ba báli mu bwara bubuke mu oyabaha bo. Bo bágyi ya báluhu mabwara mansa mwolo, kuulu mo mábaana odzyama.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.

8Simõ Piere bu amono obo, ákunu mabuo mu nsie ŋa nkulu a Yiisu ya ályele ti: «Mfumu, mara o we ŋa bele a me, mu kuulu me ndi mbwuru nga-a-masumu.»When Simon Peter saw this, he fell at Jesus’ knees. “Go away from me, Lord,” he said, “for I am a sinful man.”

9Simõ, ya bwohono ba báli ya nde bámono nzalamweẽ mu bubi ba bágyighili bo.For he and his companions were astonished at the catch of fish they had taken,

10Óli bumõ si kundaa Dzake ya Dzã, baana ba Nzebede, bambaala ba Simõ. Yiisu ályele kundaa Simõ ti: «Ka amono nzalamweẽ o! Obaana lolo li, we sa kala elebe kii baara.»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.”

11Bu bayabvughuru a mabwara ŋa yulu a nseghe, bo bábulusihi bilogho byehene ya bánama Yiisu.And when they had brought their boats ashore, they left everything and followed Him.

12Etsughu nga-emõ, Yiisu áli mu bvulu litsyini. Omo óli ya baghala mutsyini wu áali a bubyele bu buala. Baghala munde bu amono Yiisu, ábwi busu mu nsie ŋa nkulu a nde, ya ábuono nde bu: «Mfumu, kala we dzyi, we kughu otsehebe me.»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.”

13Yiisu álabala kwogho, ábyeme nde ya ályele ti: «Me ndzyi, kala wu a tse-tse.» Ya ŋaana oŋo, buala bu nde búfi.Jesus reached out His hand and touched the man. “I am willing,” He said. “Be clean!” And immediately the leprosy left him.

14Ŋa mbihi oŋo, Yiisu átswi nde mukele wu: «Ka lyele kundaa mbwuru si mumõ o. Lo gye yimoŋono weme kundaa ngaa a nzaami, ya gwa ekaba kii otsyeme ki ótumu Moyidze, mpaala okala elyimi kii bumpughulu kundaa baara.»“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.”

15Lo nsia a Yiisu yíbvulu otsaŋama mu nkooro a nde, ya mampwumu ma baara malagha mákagya mu ogyughu nde, ya mu kuulu madzughu mu mabyele ma bo.But the news about Jesus spread all the more, and great crowds came to hear Him and to be healed of their sicknesses.

16Lo nde, nde ágyene ku syehe ku ákabuono.Yet He frequently withdrew to the wilderness to pray.

17Etsughu etsyini, Yiisu bu ákaluo, ba-Faridzyẽ ya baluo-mikyene áli babwi nsini oŋo. Bo báfi mu mabvulu mwohono mama ku Ngalile, ku Yude ya bvulu lili Yerusaleme. Lileene li Mfumu li líli mu nde, límoŋono mu libughu.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.

18Ya mono, baara bágyi a mbwuru mutsyini wu ópki binama ŋa yulu a mbughu. Bo basagha bu baasohobo nde munsa nzo, ya bu otwulu nde ŋa nkulu a Yiisu.Just then some men came carrying a paralyzed man on a mat. They tried to bring him inside to set him before Jesus,

19Lo bo ka bábagha bu baasohobo nde o, mu nkooro a mpwumu a baara. Bo bákumu ku yulu a see li nzo lili eyala, bátobolo see, ya básurulu nde mu mbughu ŋa mihi mi baara bwohono ŋa nkulu a Yiisu.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.

20Yiisu bu amono kana li bo, ályele kundaa baghala wu ópki binama ti: «Baghala, masumu ma we baasi mo kolokolo.»When Jesus saw their faith, He said, “Friend, your sins are forgiven.”

21Oŋo, baluo-mikyene ya ba-Faridzyẽ bábaana otsimi ya bályele ti: «Mbwuru wu aatsaala Nzaami wu, nde nande ali? Nande kughu osa masumu kolokolo kala ka oli yini a Nzaami o?»But the scribes and Pharisees began thinking to themselves, “Who is this man who speaks blasphemy? Who can forgive sins but God alone?”

22Yiisu bu abaghala bitsimi bi bo, ábvuhulu kundaa bo ti: «Mu emakye be lili a bitsimi bibye kunsa mikolo mi be?Knowing what they were thinking, Jesus replied, “Why are you thinking these things in your hearts?

23Nki ndagha yi gwene a mpara, olyele ti: “Masumu ma we baasi mo kolokolo”, bwunu we: “Temene ya dzyara”»?Which is easier: to say, ‘Your sins are forgiven,’ or to say, ‘Get up and walk’?

24Mu kuulu be ligyahaba ti Mwana a mbwuru li a litumu lii osa masumu kolokolo ŋa yulu a nsie – Nde ályele kundaa mbwuru wu ókpi binama ti: «Temene, gwolo laba li we ya bvughuru ku nzo a we».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.”

25Ŋaana oŋo, mbwuru munde átemene ŋa mihi mi bwohono, ágwolo mbughu yi bálaha nde, ya ágyene ku nzo a nde, mu okabulusyighi Nzaami.And immediately the man stood up before them, took what he had been lying on, and went home glorifying God.

26Baara bwohono bákiŋimi ku olagha ya bákasyighi Nzaami. Bo báli a nzalamweẽ ya bákabili bu: «Lolo liimono ndagha yi okiŋimi.»Everyone was taken with amazement and glorified God. They were filled with awe and said, “We have seen remarkable things today.”

27Ŋa mbihi oŋo, Yiisu ápala ya nde ámono muntolo-mpagha mutsyini wu ábwi nsini ŋa nzo a mpagha. Nkwumu a nde Lebvi. Yiisu ályele kundaa nde ti: «Nama me!»After this, Jesus went out and saw a tax collector named Levi sitting at the tax booth. “Follow Me,” He told him,

28Lebvi átemene, ábulusihi bilogho byehene, ya ánama nde.and Levi got up, left everything, and followed Him.

29Lebvi ási Yiisu kyiri ki enene mu nzo a nde. Mintolo-mpagha ya baara babake báli oŋo, ya bákadza emõ ya bo.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.

30Ba-Faridzyẽ ya baluo-mikyene ba báli omo bákaŋuŋunu ya bályele kundaa binduono bi Yiisu bu: «Mu emakye be lili mu okadza ya oŋma emõ ya mintolo-mpagha ya banga-a-masumu?»But the Pharisees and their scribes complained to Jesus’ disciples, “Why do you eat and drink with tax collectors and sinners?”

31Yiisu ábvuhulu kundaa bo bu: «Ba bali nsiili ka bali a nzala a ngaa o, Lo babyele.Jesus answered, “It is not the healthy who need a doctor, but the sick.

32Me ka aangyi mu oyata baba bunsumu mbili o, lo banga-a-masumu mpaala bagyiŋi mayele.»I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners, to repentance.”

33Bo bályele kundaa nde ti: «Binduono bi Dzã biikakuru muswele mu bala matala mwohono ya biikabuono Nzaami, binduono bi ba-Faridzyẽ bumõ si. Lo bibi ndaa we yini a okadza ya okaŋma.»Then they said to Him, “John’s disciples and those of the Pharisees frequently fast and pray, but Yours keep on eating and drinking.”

34Yiisu ábvuhulu bo ti: «Bunu, be likughu oluomo bandughu baba mulumu bakuru muswele mu bala, mu matala maala nde nkini li ya bo?Jesus replied, “Can you make the guests of the bridegroom fast while He is with them?

35Lo bitsughu bili mu ogya, ya mbala-tsughu ŋa akala baamaha bo mulumu la ya bo, bo sa akala bakuru muswele mu bala.»But the time will come when the bridegroom will be taken from them; then they will fast.”

36Yiisu áfirita bo nkumu yi: «Ka oli a mbwuru wu kughu okaghala mupa a eko mu enkuru ki enyaghara mu obaama enkuru ki ekulu o. Buulu, nde sa akaghala enkuru ki enyaghara, ya mupa enkuru wu aamaha nde mu kye, ka li nsihi ya enkuru ki ekulu o.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.

37Bumõ si, ka oli a mbwuru wu kughu oloŋono mala ma manyaghara mu nduru yi a mu ebaana kii nyama yi nkulu o, buulu mala ma manyaghara sa mabaala mamfulu. Lo mala sa matsaŋama ya mamfulu sa mabyi.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.

38Lo, mala ma manyaghara okaloŋono mu manduru mama mu bibaana bi banyama ma manyaghara.Instead, new wine is poured into new wineskins.

39Ya ka oli a mbwuru o wu kughu osa nzala a mala ma manyaghara, kala ti nde maaŋma ma mayele. Buulu nde sa alyele ti: “Mala ma mayele mabvulu bubwe.”»And no one after drinking old wine wants new, for he says, ‘The old is better.’”
