Luke 5 (ZIN) · Opened

1Echilo chimo, Yeézu akaba ayemeeliile aha ngeégeelo ye enyaanza ya Genezareti, kunu naayegesa abaantu echigaambo cha Múungu. Baaba nibamwiililila, babone kumuhuliiliza, kuhicha baámumigisiliza.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,

2Na aho aha ngeégeelo ye enyaanza, Yeézu akabona amáato ábili. Abategi bakaba bagalekile amáato, habwo kuba bakaba niboóza emitégo yáabo.He saw two boats at the edge of the lake. The fishermen had left them and were washing their nets.

3Yaáhanama omu bwáato búmo bwaáho, óobwo bukaba buli bwo mwa Simoni, yaámusaba Simoni nka nikwo abwiilizeyo káche obwáato obwo obuziba kuluga aha ngeégéelo ye chaambo. Mále, Yeézu yeékala omu bwáato, yaázeendelela kweégesa abaantu.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.

4No obuchilo káyaamazile kweégesa, yaámugaambila Simoni, “Búga obwáato muzeénde obuziba, mutége emitégo zéenyu, muzubule eénfwi.”When Jesus had finished speaking, He said to Simon, “Put out into deep water and let down your nets for a catch.”

5Simoni yaámusubiza, “Íiwe mukáma wéetu, léeba obwíile kucha tuleéle nitukola omulimo gwo kutéga ha kweéyomeleza obutabonesa chiintu! Náho habwo kuba níiwe waángaambila oótyo, niinzitega óobu nyini.”“Master,” Simon replied, “we have worked hard all night without catching anything. But because You say so, I will let down the nets.”

6Ha bwéecho Simoni na bazeenzíbe baázitega emitégo yáabo omu méenzi, baázubula eénfwi nyíinzi bwooli, kuhicha emitégo yáabo yaábaanza kuteemuka.When they had done so, they caught such a large number of fish that their nets began to tear.

7Kuhicha baáyeleeza emikono kwéeta bazeenzi báabo abaabeele bali omu bwáato obúundi, beéze kubahwéela. Obuchilo kábeezile, béezuza eénfwi amáato ábili, kuhicha bakaba beéliliza no kutubila.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, káyaabweene amahano ago, yaáteela ebizwi omu méeso ga Yeézu, yaámugaambila, “Íiwe Mukáma, ondugého íinye, habwo kuba íinye ndi omuheni!”When Simon Peter saw this, he fell at Jesus’ knees. “Go away from me, Lord,” he said, “for I am a sinful man.”

9Simoni akagaamba ebigaambo ebyo, habwo kuba weényini hamo na bazeenzíbe bóona, bakasobelwa bwooli kubonesa eénfwi nyíinzi éezo baázubwíile.For he and his companions were astonished at the catch of fish they had taken,

10Yakobo na Yohana, batábani ba Zebedayo, bakaba nibatéga hamo na Simoni. Ebyo byaábasobela nábo. Yeézu yaámugaambila Simoni aáti, “Otaákutiina! Ha kuba kulugiilila leélo ezi, noóba omutegi wa abaantu.”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.”

11Simoni na bazeenzíbe baásubya amáato aha chaambo, baáleka ebiintu byáabo byóona, baámukulaatíla Yeézu.And when they had brought their boats ashore, they left everything and followed Him.

12Obuchilo Yeézu akaba ali omu muzihwa gúmo, hakeeza omuuntu oómo ayaabeele ayizwíile amabéembe omubili gwóona. Náwe káyaamubwéene Yeézu, yaázumala omu méeso goómwe, yaáhicha obusóbwe ahaansi, yaámusaba, “Íiwe Mukáma, koólaayeénda, oyine obuhicha bwo kuunyéza.”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.”

13Yeézu yaágolola omukóno, yaamukoláho, yaámugaambila, “Niinyeénda ochile, oyele!” Ahonyini, obubéembe bwoómwe bwaamulugáho.Jesus reached out His hand and touched the man. “I am willing,” He said. “Be clean!” And immediately the leprosy left him.

14Yeézu yaámulagila aáti, “Otamugaambila omuuntu weéna wéena éebi! Náho, zeénda oyeyoleke ha mugabe, osohoze echitáambo cho kwoóleka nkokwo waáyézwa, nko óokwo Musa yaalagíile.”“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.”

15Hamo ne ebyo, empola za Yeézu zaaguma kumanyiika bwooli ha baantu. Bakaba nibamwiízaho ebipípi ne ebipípi, babone kuhuliiliza Ameégeso goómwe, no kuchízwa amalwáala gáabo.But the news about Jesus spread all the more, and great crowds came to hear Him and to be healed of their sicknesses.

16Náho, Yeézu akaba abaleka no kuzeenda ahaantu hatéena baantu amusabe Múungu.Yet He frequently withdrew to the wilderness to pray.

17Echilo chimo, Yeézu akaba naayegesa abaantu. No omuli abo, bakaba balimo Abafarisayo, hamo na abeégesa be ebilagilo. Abo bakaluga buli mugoongo gwa Galiláaya ne ya Yudea, ne ya Yeruzaléemu. Yeézu akaba ayina obuhicha kuluga ha Mukáma Múungu abone kuchiza abaantu.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.

18Niho, béeza abakwaáta, bakaba beemukize omuuntu ayaabeele ali enséege, akaba alyaamile aha chitwaálilizi. Bakaba nibeénda kumutaasha omu nzu, babone kumuléeta omu méeso ga Yeézu.Just then some men came carrying a paralyzed man on a mat. They tried to bring him inside to set him before Jesus,

19Náho bakalemwa kubonesa ho kumulabya, habwo kuba hakaba heena embága ya abaantu béenzi beemigisiliize. Niho baálamula kuhanama olwéego baáhika aha luswi lwe éenzu, beemukize omuuntu ogwo. Obuchilo baabeele bali aha lugulu, baáfumula oluswi, baámutuucha ne echitwaálilizi choómwe ahagáti ya abaantu áabo bóona, omu méeso ga Yeézu.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.

20Obuchilo Yeézu káyaabweene nkokwo abaantu abo bakaba beena okwiikiliza, yaámugaambila, “Munywáani waanze, waáganyiilwe ebiheno byaawe!”When Jesus saw their faith, He said, “Friend, your sins are forgiven.”

21Abeégesa be ebilagilo na Abafarisayo abo, ahonyini baábaanza kudugulima nibeegaambila, “Noóha ogu? Léeba naagaámba ebigaambo byo kumulogota Múungu? Táliho omuuntu óogwo yaakuhicha kuganyila ebiheno, náho Múungu weénka!”But the scribes and Pharisees began thinking to themselves, “Who is this man who speaks blasphemy? Who can forgive sins but God alone?”

22Áago bakaba nibateekuza, ahonyini Yeézu yaágamanya, yaábabúuza, “Ha bwaáchi nimuteekuza mútyo omu miganya yáanyu?Knowing what they were thinking, Jesus replied, “Why are you thinking these things in your hearts?

23Ngási! Ni chiiha echilikuhuhuuka bwooli? Kumugaambila omuuntu, ‘Waáganyiilwe ebiheno byaawe,’ nali kumugaambila, ‘Yemeelela, olibate?’Which is easier: to say, ‘Your sins are forgiven,’ or to say, ‘Get up and walk’?

24Niinyeénda mumanye kuzima nkokwo, íinye Mutábani wo Omuuntu nheelwe obuzizi bwo kuganyila ebiheno omu nsi.” Mále Yeézu yaámugaambila omuuntu ogwo, “Niinkugaambila, yemeelela! Twaála echitwaálilizi chaawe, ozeénde omúka.”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.”

25Ahonyini, omuuntu ogwo yaáyemeelela omu méeso ga abaantu, yeemucha omukeeka gwoómwe óogwo akaba abyaámiile, yaázeenda omúka kunu naamweesiingiza Múungu.And immediately the man stood up before them, took what he had been lying on, and went home glorifying God.

26Abaantu bóona abo, baásobelwa bwooli no kuzila kweéganya. Hamo ne ebyo, bakaba nibamweesiingiza Múungu, nibagaámba, “Kási! Leélo, twaábona ebigaambo byo kusobeza!”Everyone was taken with amazement and glorified God. They were filled with awe and said, “We have seen remarkable things today.”

27Kagahwéele ago, Yeézu yaalugamo omu nzu, yaábona omuhaámbya oómo, izíina lyoómwe naayétwa Láawi. Náwe Láawi, akaba ayikeele omu kazu koómwe kokutobesezamo oluhaambwe. Aho, Yeézu yaámugaambila aáti, “Onkuláatile!”After this, Jesus went out and saw a tax collector named Levi sitting at the tax booth. “Follow Me,” He told him,

28Ahonyini, Láawi yaáyemeelela, yaleka byóona, yaábaanza kumukulaatila Yeézu.and Levi got up, left everything, and followed Him.

29Káyaabaliile, Láawi yaámukolela Yeézu obuzenyi buháango omukáye. Omu nzu omwo, bakaba bakobile abahaámbya béenzi, na abaantu abáandi abaabeele nibalya hamo ha luhelo.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.

30Chaaletelela Abafarisayo, na abeégesa báabo be ebilagilo, kuzeenda kubadugulumila abaheémba ba Yeézu, baágaamba, “Ha bwaáchi nimulya no okunywa hamo na abahaámbya na abaheni abáandi?”But the Pharisees and their scribes complained to Jesus’ disciples, “Why do you eat and drink with tax collectors and sinners?”

31Yeézu yaábasubiza, “Abaantu abeene enziingo nzima, tibakugaswa omulaguzi, náho abalwéele nibo abalikugaswa!Jesus answered, “It is not the healthy who need a doctor, but the sick.

32Bityo nyini, Íinye tiíndeezile kwéeta abaantu abagololoke, náho abaheni batamwe ebiheno byáabo no kumutegeza Múungu.”I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners, to repentance.”

33Abaantu abo baámugaambila Yeézu, “Abaheémba ba Yohana nibazila echisiibo che ebyookulya entúlo nyíinzi, obuchilo nibamusaba Múungu. Bityo na abaheémba ba Abafarisayo, nábo bakola bátyo nyini. Náho abaheémba baawe, nibazeendelela kulya no okunywa!”Then they said to Him, “John’s disciples and those of the Pharisees frequently fast and pray, but Yours keep on eating and drinking.”

34Yeézu yaábasubiza, “Obuchilo chisweéla achili hamo na abazenyi boómwe omu bweenga, nimuhicha muta kubakola abazenyi abo babe ne echisiibo cho okulya no okunywa?Jesus replied, “Can you make the guests of the bridegroom fast while He is with them?

35Náho, omu bilo éebyo ebiliíza, chisweéla alyaáyihwaho ahagáti yáabo. Omu bilo ebyo, niho baliba ne echisiibo.”But the time will come when the bridegroom will be taken from them; then they will fast.”

36Yeézu yaábagaambila omugani ogúundi, yaágaamba, “Taliho omuuntu abaziilila echibatulo cho omwéenda omusha aha mwéenda ogukokweele. Habwo kuba, kaálaakola aátyo, naába yaásiisa omwéenda gwoómwe omusha. Hamo ne ebyo, echiláka echo cho omwéenda omusha, tichikukuúndilana no omwéenda omukulu kúlu.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.

37“Na taliho omuuntu ahikize kutamo evíini eénsha omu nfulebe enkulu kúlu. Habwo kuba, kaálaakola aátyo, evíini eénsha neebila, neeyáta embíiko ezo, nayo neeseéseka. Ne embíiko ezo, zítyo nyini názo nizibiíha.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.

38Náho evíini eénsha, neeyeendelwa eteébwe omu mbíiko ze eémpu eénsha!Instead, new wine is poured into new wineskins.

39No omuuntu óogwo amanyiile kunywa evíini ya kala, aba atakulígila evíini eénsha. Agaámba nka nikwo, eya kala niyo nzima.”And no one after drinking old wine wants new, for he says, ‘The old is better.’”
