Luke 5 (XNJ) · Opened

1Ligono limonga, Yesu peayimili mumihana ya nyanja ya ku Genezaleti, msambi wa vandu vamhinyayi kumtindila, muni vayuwanila lilovi la Chapanga.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,

2Ndi aziweni watu zivili mumuhana ya nyanja, zavazilekili valova somba, muni vene vasanja ngwanda zavi.He saw two boats at the edge of the lake. The fishermen had left them and were washing their nets.

3Yesu akayingila muwatu wa mundu mmonga mwavamkemela Simoni, akamjovela Simoni wusayi watu pamuhana hegelesa mumanji palongolo padebe kuhuma pandumba. Yesu akatama muwatu na kutumbula kuwula msambi wa vandu.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.

4Peamali kuwula, akamjovela Simoni, “Hegelesa watu waku mbaka pamanji gamahele, mukahelesa ngwanda zinu mlova somba.”When Jesus had finished speaking, He said to Simon, “Put out into deep water and let down your nets for a catch.”

5Simoni akamyangula, “Bambu, tikangamili kulova somba kilu yoha kawaka chindu chetipati, nambu ndava ujovi veve yati tihamba kuhelesa ngwanda mumanji.”“Master,” Simon replied, “we have worked hard all night without catching anything. But because You say so, I will let down the nets.”

6Ndi pavahelisi ngwanda zavi, vakapata somba zamahele mbaka ngwanda zikatumbula kudauka.When they had done so, they caught such a large number of fish that their nets began to tear.

7Vakavakemelela na vayavi vevavi muwatu wungi, vabwelayi kuvatangatila. Vakabwela, vakamemesa watu zoha zivili somba mbaka zikatumbula kudodomela.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 pealoli genago, akamfugamila Yesu akajova, “Bambu uwuka palongolo yangu, ndava nene mwenimbudila Chapanga!”When Simon Peter saw this, he fell at Jesus’ knees. “Go away from me, Lord,” he said, “for I am a sinful man.”

9Ndava vapatili somba zamahele. Simoni pamonga na vayaki voha vakakangasa,For he and his companions were astonished at the catch of fish they had taken,

10Mewawa Yakobo na Yohani vana va Zebedayo vevavili valova somba vayavi, pamonga na Simoni na vene vakakangasa. Yesu akamjovela Simoni, “Kotoka kuyogopa, kutumbula hinu wivya lepi mlova somba nambu yati wivya mlova wa vandu ndi kuvaleta vandu kwa Bambu.”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.”

11Ndi, pavamali kuzivika watu zila mumhana ya nyanja, vakagaleka goha na kumlanda Yesu.And when they had brought their boats ashore, they left everything and followed Him.

12Ndi Yesu paavi kumuji umonga wa kwenuko, mgosi mmonga anamabudi higa yoha pamuweni Yesu, akamgwilila chakukupama mumagendelu gaki na akamjovela, “Bambu, ngati wigana uhotola kuninyambisa.”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 akatalambula chiwoko chaki na kumpamisa akamjovela, “Nigana unyambasikayi!” Bahapo akalama mabudi gala.Jesus reached out His hand and touched the man. “I am willing,” He said. “Be clean!” And immediately the leprosy left him.

14Yesu akambesa, “Ukoto kumjovela mundu yeyoha, ndi uhamba ukajilangisa kwa Mteta wa Chapanga, ukawusa luteta ngati cheyilagiza mumhilu ya Chapanga geampeli Musa, muni yimanyikana kwa vene kulangisa kuvya unyambisiwi.”“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.”

15Nambu Lilovi la Yesu likayendelea kudandasika pandu poha, na misambi ya vandu vakakonganeka muni vamyuwanila na kulamiswa matamu gavi.But the news about Jesus spread all the more, and great crowds came to hear Him and to be healed of their sicknesses.

16Nambu mwene akajibagula kuchiyepela, akavya mukuyupa kwa Chapanga.Yet He frequently withdrew to the wilderness to pray.

17Ligono limonga, Yesu peavili mukuwula. Vafalisayu na vawula va malagizu ga Musa kuhuma mukila chijiji cha ku Galilaya na Yudea na Yelusalemu vakavya kutama penapo. Na makakala ga Bambu wavi pamonga nayu, wa kulamisa vatamu.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.

18Ndi lukumbi lulalula, vakabwela vandu vevamugegesini mundu mgosi palusongwani, mwepolili higa agonili lusongwani, vakalinga kumyingisa mugati, vamuvikayi palongolo ya Yesu.Just then some men came carrying a paralyzed man on a mat. They tried to bring him inside to set him before Jesus,

19Nambu nakuhotola kuyingila nayu mugati ndava ya vandu vamahele. Ndi vakakwela panani ya nyumba vakabowola chipagalu, na vakamuhelesa mweapoli yula pamonga na lusongwani lwaki mbaka peavili 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 peayiweni kusadika kwavi kula, akamjovela mwaalwala yula, “Nkozi wangu, ulekekiswi kumbudila Chapanga waku.”When Jesus saw their faith, He said, “Friend, your sins are forgiven.”

21Vafalisayu na vawula va malagizu ga Chapanga geampeli Musa vakatumbula kukotana, “Mwenuyu mundu kiki mweakumliga Chapanga? Kawaka mundu mweihotola kulekekesa kubuda ndi nga Chapanga mwene!”But the scribes and Pharisees began thinking to themselves, “Who is this man who speaks blasphemy? Who can forgive sins but God alone?”

22Nambu Yesu amanyili maholo gavi akavakota, “Ndava kyani mukujikota genago mumitima yinu?Knowing what they were thinking, Jesus replied, “Why are you thinking these things in your hearts?

23Chinonopa kiki, kujova ‘ulekekiswi kumbudila Chapanga waku,’ Amala kujova ‘Yima ugendayi’Which is easier: to say, ‘Your sins are forgiven,’ or to say, ‘Get up and walk’?

24Hinu, nigana mumanyayi, Mwana wa Mundu ana uhotola wa kuvalekekesa vandu pamulima vevakumbudila Chapanga.” Ndi akamjovela mwaalwala yula, “Yima, tola lusongwani lwaku, uhamba kunyumba!”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.”

25Bahapo, mundu mweapoli yula akayima akatola, lusongwani lwaki lweagonili na akawuya kunyumba yaki kuni amulumbalila Chapanga.And immediately the man stood up before them, took what he had been lying on, and went home glorifying God.

26Vandu voha vakakangasa na kuvya na wogohi, kuni vamulumbalilayi Chapanga vakajova, “Tigaweni mambu ga kukangasa lelu!”Everyone was taken with amazement and glorified God. They were filled with awe and said, “We have seen remarkable things today.”

27Kangi, Yesu akahuma kuvala ndi amuwene mtola kodi mwavamkemela Lawi atamili munyumba ya kutolela kodi. Yesu akamjovela, “Nilandayi!”After this, Jesus went out and saw a tax collector named Levi sitting at the tax booth. “Follow Me,” He told him,

28Lawi akayima na kuleka kila chindu, akamlanda.and Levi got up, left everything, and followed Him.

29Kangi, Lawi amgongolili Yesu kunyumba yaki, na msambi wa vatola kodi na vandu vangi vatamili kulya pamonga na Yesu.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.

30Vafalisayu na vawula va Malagizu ga Chapanga geampeli Musa vakavang'ung'utila vawuliwa vaki vakajova, “Ndava kyani mwilya na vatola kodi na vandu vevakumbudila Chapanga?”But the Pharisees and their scribes complained to Jesus’ disciples, “Why do you eat and drink with tax collectors and sinners?”

31Yesu akavayangula, “Vangalwala vigana lepi mlamisa, nambu vevilwala vigana mlamisa.Jesus answered, “It is not the healthy who need a doctor, but the sick.

32Nene nibweli lepi kuvakemela vandu vevikita gegakumganisa Chapanga, nibweli kuvakemela vandu vevakumbudila Chapanga vamuwuyila.”I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners, to repentance.”

33Vandu vangi vakamjovela Yesu, “Vawuliwa va Yohani vakujihinisa chakulya na kuyupa, na vawuliwa va Vafalisayu na vene vikita mewa. Nambu vawuliwa vaku vilya na vinywa.”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 akavayangula, “Wu, muhololela kuvya muhotola kuvakita vankozi va mkolo ndowa vajihinisa chakulya kuni vavi pamonga na mkolo ndowa?Jesus replied, “Can you make the guests of the bridegroom fast while He is with them?

35Nambu lwalabwela lukumbi lwa Bambu kuwusiwa kuhuma kwavi, ndi penapo yati vakujihinisa kulya.”But the time will come when the bridegroom will be taken from them; then they will fast.”

36Kangi Yesu akavajovela luhumu ulu, “Kawaka mundu mweipapula chilaka munyula ya mupya na kutota mulindimula. Ngati akitili chenichi, yati ayihalabisi nyula yeniyo na chilaka chenicho yati chiwanangana lepi na lindimula lila.”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.

37Kavili kawaka mundu mweisopa divayi ya mupya mulindimula la lihaku lelitengenizwi kwa chikumba, akakita chenicho, mahaku ga chikumba gala gipapuka na divayi yiyitika na mahaku ga chikumba yati gipapuka.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.

38Nambu divayi ya mupya yisopewa mumahaku ga chikumba cha mupya.Instead, new wine is poured into new wineskins.

39Kawaka mundu mweinogela kunywa divayi ya mupya ngati akalongolili kunywa divayi ya kadeni. Muni ijova ya kadeni yila yabwina neju.And no one after drinking old wine wants new, for he says, ‘The old is better.’”
