Luke 5 (VID) · Opened

1Zuwa limwe, Yesu yaliyemile hafungo mwa ilamba lya Genesaleti, wanhu wenji wali wamzungulute wochibana, wohulichiza mbuli ya Nguluwi.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,

2Kajona mitumbwi mili hafungo mli ilamba, hewo walowa somba wali wochile, wohovuga utandawala wawo.He saw two boats at the edge of the lake. The fishermen had left them and were washing their nets.

3Yesu kenjila mli itumbwi limwe lya Simoni, nakamlonjela yauhejeze hatali chidogo kulawa hafungo mwa ilamba mbaka mmazi. Na baho kekala mumo mli itumbwi na kulangusa lung'hongola lwa wanhu.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.

4Loyasindile kulangusa, nakamlonjela Simoni, Iigale itumbwi mbaka hagati kuli mazi menji na baho mkatoze utandawala wa hemwe mlowe somba.When Jesus had finished speaking, He said to Simon, “Put out into deep water and let down your nets for a catch.”

5Simoni nakamwidichila, “Mkulu tujeza kuvula somba hamihe yeng'ha hatupatile ne chinhu ila kwa vila hegwe kulonga ndotoza utandawala.”“Master,” Simon replied, “we have worked hard all night without catching anything. But because You say so, I will let down the nets.”

6Lowaditile ahyo wavula somba nyiji, mbaka utandawala wa hewo na waluka kudaduka.When they had done so, they caught such a large number of fish that their nets began to tear.

7Wawachema wayao wali mli itumbwi liyage woye wawatanze. Woya wamemeza somba mitumbwi jeng'ha mili na behi jahazibile.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 Petili loyawene gala, kafugama hoyali Yesu kalonga, “Mkulu uche habehi na heni! Heni nda munhu ndili na gehile!”When Simon Peter saw this, he fell at Jesus’ knees. “Go away from me, Lord,” he said, “for I am a sinful man.”

9Simoni na wayage weng'ha wabubuwala kwa vila vyowalowile somba nyinji vila.For he and his companions were astonished at the catch of fish they had taken,

10Hihyo Yakubu na Yohani, wanage Sebedayo, wala wali walowa hamwe na Simoni. Yesu nakamlonjela Simoni, “Uleche kudumba, kulawa sambi kozanguwa mlowa wanhu.”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.”

11Ahyo, lowajigale jila mitumbwi hafungo mwa ilamba waleka geng'ha kumuwinza Yesu.And when they had brought their boats ashore, they left everything and followed Him.

12Yali hino, Yesu loyali kuli miji jimwenga ja ako, munhu yumwe nayali na uswema lukuli lweng'a kamona. Leka, munhu ayo kagwa chifunama kamlanda Yesu, “Mkulu wone ulingugana kombusila utamwa wondilingugula!”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 nakagolola moko, kamdoliza na kulonga, “Ndangugana wezuligwe!” Bahala ula uswema umlawa.Jesus reached out His hand and touched the man. “I am willing,” He said. “Be clean!” And immediately the leprosy left him.

14Yesu nakamlonjela, “Uleche kumlonjela ne munhu. Ila ulute wikelajile kwa mtambika mkulu, ulavye nhambiko kwa kwezigwa kwa hegwe kota vyoyalajize Musa, Ahyo wanhu weng'ha walavye ulolezi kota hegwe kuwa mkomu.”“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.”

15Ila Mbuli za Yesu zenela chila honhu, na wanhu wenji na woya kumhulichiza na kuwosela matamwa gawo.But the news about Jesus spread all the more, and great crowds came to hear Him and to be healed of their sicknesses.

16Ila heye nakaluta nayali yeng'ha honhu hali haduhu wanhu, na kulanda.Yet He frequently withdrew to the wilderness to pray.

17Zuwa limwe Yesu nayali yolangusa. Mafalisayo na walangusa wa Malajizo ga Musa, kulawa chila chijiji cha Galilaya na Yudeya na Yelusalemu, wali wekalise baho. Ludali lwa Mkulu lwali hamwe na heye kwa kuwalohola watamwa.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.

18Wanhu wamwe na woya, wampapile munhu yaziliche kumwe, wojeza kumwinjiza mng'handa wamuwiche kumwando kwa Yesu.Just then some men came carrying a paralyzed man on a mat. They tried to bring him inside to set him before Jesus,

19Ila nawalemwela kwinjila mng'handa kwa vila wanhu wenji wali wekale. Ahyo wamkwinhiza ayo yaziliche kuchinduwiko, nawatubula kuchinduwiko, wamdulisa ayo yaziliche mchinhanda cha heye, wamuwika hagati hali lung'hongola lwa wanhu hali 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 voyawene vyowawele na makundo, nakamlonjela ayo munhu yaziliche, “Goloko kusilwa gehile ga hegwe.”When Jesus saw their faith, He said, “Friend, your sins are forgiven.”

21Walangusa wa malajizo ga Musa na Mafalisayo wazangiuza, “Hino ayu yalihi nayali yokovula? Haduhuli munhu yolohola gehile ila Nguluwi nayali yeng'ha!”But the scribes and Pharisees began thinking to themselves, “Who is this man who speaks blasphemy? Who can forgive sins but God alone?”

22Yesu nakavizela majesa ga hewo, kawauza, “Lekachoni mwangijesa mnhumbula za hemwe?Knowing what they were thinking, Jesus replied, “Why are you thinking these things in your hearts?

23Lilikohi liwele ubewe ng'hatu. Kulonga, ‘Kusilwa gehile ga hegwe,’ Ama kulonga, ‘Wime ujende?’Which is easier: to say, ‘Your sins are forgiven,’ or to say, ‘Get up and walk’?

24Ila ndangugana mvizele kota, Mwana wa Munhu kana ludali lwa kuwosela wanhu gehile ga hewo, mno muisi yeng'ha.” Baho nakamlonjela yula yaziliche, “Winuche uhole chinhanda cha hegwe, ulute kaye!”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.”

25Baho yula munhu yoyekale yaziliche kenuka kumwando kwa hewo, kedwika chinhanda cha heye na kaluta kaye, kuno yomtogola Nguluwi.And immediately the man stood up before them, took what he had been lying on, and went home glorifying God.

26Wanhu weng'ha nawabubuwala ng'hatu! Na kudumba na kumtogola Nguluwi kuno wolonga, “Tuvyona vinduzanduza lehano.”Everyone was taken with amazement and glorified God. They were filled with awe and said, “We have seen remarkable things today.”

27Hamba, Yesu kalawa kunze, kamona mkongoza kodi yumwe nayali nguchemigwa Lawi, yekalise mchituka cha kodi. Yesu nakamlonjela, “Umbinze!”After this, Jesus went out and saw a tax collector named Levi sitting at the tax booth. “Follow Me,” He told him,

28Na baho kenuka, kaleka chila chinhu, kamuwinza.and Levi got up, left everything, and followed Him.

29Na baho Lawi kamditila Yesu mnvina ng'hulu kaye hake. Na chilundo cha wakongoza kodi na wanhu wanji na wekala hamwe na hewo.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.

30Ila Mafalisayo na walangusa wa malajizo ga Musa wamwe, wazangulonga wowalonjela wala walanguswa wa Yesu, walonga, “Lekachoni muwele ngulya na kunwa na wakongoza kodi na wadita gehile?”But the Pharisees and their scribes complained to Jesus’ disciples, “Why do you eat and drink with tax collectors and sinners?”

31Yesu nakawedichila, “Wanhu wawele wakomu hawalingumlapa mteleka mikwandi, ila wawele watamwa.Jesus answered, “It is not the healthy who need a doctor, but the sick.

32Suyile kuwachema wanhu wala wanojile, ila wala wawele na gehile wamgalamchile Nguluwi.”I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners, to repentance.”

33Wanhu wanji wamlonjela Yesu, “Walanguswa wa Yohani Mbatiza wali wokwesela kulya na kulanda, na wa Mafalisayo waditaga hiho, ila walanguswa wahegwe wangulya na kunwa.”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 nakawedichila, “Lelo wala walalikwe kuli mnvina ya kuhesa waganigwa kwesela kulya na mkasano nayali na mnvina nayali hamwe na hewo? Hebu!Jesus replied, “Can you make the guests of the bridegroom fast while He is with them?

35Ila mhela wokuya hoyokusigwa mkasano nayali na mnvina hali hewo, baho wokwesela kulya.”But the time will come when the bridegroom will be taken from them; then they will fast.”

36Yesu nakawalonjela nhelo ayi, “Haduhu munhu yalingukanha chibende chinyale na kuhoneleza kuli nguwo ya katali. Wone yadite ahyo, koiwifya ila nguwo inyale, chila chilingulawa kuli nguwo inyale hachiwana na nguwo ya katali.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.

37Kahi kuduhu munhu yowika divai ya lehano kuli chizombe cha igozi cha katali. Kwa vila wone yadite hino, divai ya lehano yozatula jila mihako, divai yobohoka na mihako jotulika.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.

38Divai ya lehano yowichigwa mli vizombe vya igozi vinyale.Instead, new wine is poured into new wineskins.

39Kuduhu munhu yalingunwa divai ya katali, na baho yogana kunwa divai ya lehano. Kwa vila kolonga ‘Divai ya katali inona lukami.’ ”And no one after drinking old wine wants new, for he says, ‘The old is better.’”
