Luke 5 (YOM) · Opened

1Lumbu kimosi yesu kaba muyenda disimu di mbu wu Ngenezaleti ayi sumbu nkangu wu batu wunzungidila mu diambu di wa mambu ma Nzambi,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,

2buna wumona minlungu miodi muyenda mbu. Minlobi mi zimbizi bakuluka kuawu mu minlungu miawu bila makondi mawu baba sukula.He saw two boats at the edge of the lake. The fishermen had left them and were washing their nets.

3Nlungu wumosi wuba wu Simoni. Yesu wukuma muawu ayi wunkambakatatukila fioti disimu. Buna wuvuanda muna nlungu ayi wutona longa nkangu.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.

4Buna kamanisa yoluka, wukamba Simoni : —Kuesa nlungu kungingi nlangu, kuna kuidi thimpula bosi ngeyo ayi bakundi baku lozanu makondi meno mu diambu di luloba.When Jesus had finished speaking, He said to Simon, “Put out into deep water and let down your nets for a catch.”

5Vayi Simoni wumvutudila : —A nlongi, builu bumvimba tusedi vayi kadi kiasa tusia baka ko. Vayi sumbu wuthumini, ndieka loza makondi.“Master,” Simon replied, “we have worked hard all night without catching anything. But because You say so, I will let down the nets.”

6Baloza makondi ayi babaka zimbizi ziwombo ; ayi makondi mawu tsatu makanzuka.When they had done so, they caught such a large number of fish that their nets began to tear.

7Buna batumisa bakundi bawu bobo baba mu nlungu wunkaka muingi biza basadisa. Bayiza ayi minlungu mioso mimiodi miwala zimbizi, ayi tsatu midiama.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.

8Bu kamona bobo, Simoni-Piela wufukama va malu ma Yesu ayi wunkamba : —Pfumu, bika wuthatukila bila ndidi nkua masumu.When Simon Peter saw this, he fell at Jesus’ knees. “Go away from me, Lord,” he said, “for I am a sinful man.”

9Muaki lukhuku lumbuila va kimosi ayi bakundi bandi mu mona phila zimbizi baloba.For he and his companions were astonished at the catch of fish they had taken,

10Zaki ayi Yowani, bana ba Zebede, bakundi ba Simoni, mamvawu lukhuku lu babuila. Buna Yesu wukamba Simoni : —Bika mona tsisi bila tona buabu wela ba nlobi wu batu.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 bavutula minlungu miawu ku disimu, basia bika bibioso ayi balandakana Yesu.And when they had brought their boats ashore, they left everything and followed Him.

12Lumbu kimosi Yesu bu kaba mu divula dimosi, kuna kutotukila mutu wumosi wuba ayi buazi. Bu kamona Yesu, mutu beni wufukamava ntualꞌandi vayi wuyinika zizi kiandi mu tsi ayi wunleba : —A Pfumu, enati tidi buna wulenda kuaku kumvedisa !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 wunonuna koko kuandi, wunsimba ayi wunkamba : —Nyinga, thidi, vedila kuaku ! Mu yina thangu, wuvedila mu buazi buandi.Jesus reached out His hand and touched the man. “I am willing,” He said. “Be clean!” And immediately the leprosy left him.

14Vayi wunkandika kabika kamba kadi kuidi mutu wumosi mambu mavangimini mu niandi. Vayi wunkamba : —Yenda kimonisa kuidi nganga yi Nzambi ayi nata dikaba dilomba Moyizemu diambu diba kimbangi kuidi bawu.“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.”

15Tsangu yi Yesu yiluta muangana. Diawu minkangu miwombo mi batu bayiza muingi banwa ayi muingi babelusu mu bimbevo biawu.But the news about Jesus spread all the more, and great crowds came to hear Him and to be healed of their sicknesses.

16Vayi niandi wuyenda tinina mu bibuangu bisuama mu diambu kasambila.Yet He frequently withdrew to the wilderness to pray.

17Lumbu kimosi bu kaba longa, Bafalisi ayi minlongi mi mina bobobatotukila mu mala moso ma Ngalili, ma Yuda ayi ma Yelusalemi bayizavuanda vana ayi lulendo lu Pfumu lumonika mu bambevo baba balusanga Yesu.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.

18Zimbukila babakala batotuka, banata dikoka mu kimpoyi. Batomba diluaku di kunkotisila mu nzo muingi bantula va ntuala Yesu.Just then some men came carrying a paralyzed man on a mat. They tried to bring him inside to set him before Jesus,

19Vayi basia baka ko diluaku di kunkotisila mu diambu di nkangu wu batu. Diawu bakumina ku mbata muanzu ayi batobudila divudumu muanzu, bosi, bakulula dikoka beni mu kiphoyi va khatitsika batu, va ntuala 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 bu kamona minu ki batu bobo, wukamba : —Nkundi ama, masumu maku malemvokolo.When Jesus saw their faith, He said, “Friend, your sins are forgiven.”

21Minlongi mi Mina ayi Bafalisi batona niunguta ayi bakambasana : —Buna nani mutu wawu wuntuba mamu ma mvuezolo e ? Nani beki minsuamu lemvukil masumu ? A keti Nzambi kaka e ?But the scribes and Pharisees began thinking to themselves, “Who is this man who speaks blasphemy? Who can forgive sins but God alone?”

22Vayi Yesu wuzaba mayindu mawu, ayi wuba kamba : —Bila mbi lunyindudila bobo mu mintima mieno e ?Knowing what they were thinking, Jesus replied, “Why are you thinking these things in your hearts?

23Mbi bilutidi kambu phasi mu kamba : “Masumu maku malemvokolo” voti “telama kuaku ayi diata ?”Which is easier: to say, ‘Your sins are forgiven,’ or to say, ‘Get up and walk’?

24Vayi muingi luzaba ti muana mutu beki lulendo va ntoto lu lemvukila masumu… Buna wukamba dikoka : —Minu ndikutumina : “Telema, bonga kiphoyi kiaku ayi vutuka ku nzoꞌaku !”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.”

25Vana vawu dikoka ditelama, va meso ma batu boso, dibongakiphoyi kiandi ayi divutuka ku nzoꞌandi. Sumbu kavutuka wulembu kembisa Nzambi.And immediately the man stood up before them, took what he had been lying on, and went home glorifying God.

26Batu boso basimina, bakembisa Nzambi kutsi boma baba vayi batuba : —Matsiminanga tumueni buabu.Everyone was taken with amazement and glorified God. They were filled with awe and said, “We have seen remarkable things today.”

27Mambu momo bu mavioka, Yesu wuyenda kuandi. Vayi wumona mfutisi wumosi wu ziphaku mu nzila, buna kavuendi mu bilu kimfutusulungu ziphaku, dizina diandi Levi. Buna wuntela ayi wunkamba : —Wundandakana.After this, Jesus went out and saw a tax collector named Levi sitting at the tax booth. “Follow Me,” He told him,

28Mutu beni wutelama, wubika bima bioso ayi wulandakana Yesu.and Levi got up, left everything, and followed Him.

29Buna Levi wukubikila Yesu ndikulu dinneni, ku nzoꞌandi. Batu bawombo baba yawu va meza. Mu bawu muba mimfutisi mi ziphaku.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.

30Bafalisi ayi minlongi mi mina miomi miba mu dingumba diawu mifuema ayi bayuvula minlonguki mi Yesu ti : —Bila mbi lulembo dila ayi nuina va kimosi ayi mimfutisi mi ziphaku miomi, bankua masumu e ?But the Pharisees and their scribes complained to Jesus’ disciples, “Why do you eat and drink with tax collectors and sinners?”

31Yesu wuba vutudila : —Batu bobo badi nitu yi buvini batombanga munganga ko. Vayi batu badi bimbevo bawu bantombanga munganga.Jesus answered, “It is not the healthy who need a doctor, but the sick.

32Ndisia kuiza tela batu basonga ko vayi ndiyiza mu diambu di tela bankua masumu.I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners, to repentance.”

33Buna bankaka banyuvula : —Bila mbi minlonguki mi Yowani ayi mi Bafalisi mikukifuisanganzala mu diambu di lusambulu vayi miaku mindia ayi minua e ?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 wuba vutudila : —A beno lumbanza ti batu bobo batumusu, kuidi ditoko diodi dikuedidi, balenda kukifuisa nzala mu diambu di lusambulu ditoko dikuedidi bu dikidi yawu va kimosi e ?Jesus replied, “Can you make the guests of the bridegroom fast while He is with them?

35Vayi vadi thangu bu bela ku babotula ditoko, buna bosi mu bilumbu binabela kukifuisa nzala mu diambu di lusambulu.But the time will come when the bridegroom will be taken from them; then they will fast.”

36Buna wuba kamba nongo yimosi : —Mutu kalendi ko kanzuna tendi kinledi wumona muingi kalondila nledi wunkhulu. Bila buna maka kanzuna nledi wumona ayi tendi kioki kabongidi mu nledi wumona kilendi fuanakana ko ayi tendi kikhulu.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.

37Bobuawu, mutu kalendi tula ko vinu kimona mu zitsaku zikhulu bilanganu vinu kimona kilenda kanzuna zitsaku zikhulu. Buna vinu kidukukidi ayi zitsaku zifuidi.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.

38Vayi bufueni mu tula vinu kimona mu zitsaku zimona.Instead, new wine is poured into new wineskins.

39Kuisi ko mutu wunua vinu kikhulu wubuela tomba diaka nua vinu kimona bila kafueti tuba : vinu kikhulu kilutidi lueki !And no one after drinking old wine wants new, for he says, ‘The old is better.’”
