Luke 5
1 Ba he u gbugbu ndji ba ye ka Yesu ndi ba wo tre Irji, u wa k'li ni nyu kikle ma teku Janisaret.
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,
2 A toh mmri jirgi harhi bari ba zi ba ni nyu ma. Bi vu lambe'a ba rju kaki ngla rjirji u vu lambe'a.
He saw two boats at the edge of the lake. The fishermen had left them and were washing their nets.
3 Yesu ari mi jirgi ri wa a u Siman nda hla wu ndu tru rju ma ye gban me ni kora. A kuson nimi nda tsro ndji ba tre Irji ni jirgi'a.
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.
4 Da a hla kle bawu a tre ni Siman, “Nji jirgi'a hi mima ndi kata hi ni honlon ma.”
When Jesus had finished speaking, He said to Simon, “Put out into deep water and let down your nets for a catch.”
5 Siman kasa wu nda tre, “Tie koh mu, ki tie ya kle cu'a ndi na vu ko pke na, amma ni wa u tre'a mi kayo.”
“Master,” Simon replied, “we have worked hard all night without catching anything. But because You say so, I will let down the nets.”
6 Da ba tie to wa a hla, ba vu lambebabran u rjirji u vu lambe'a ti su.
When they had done so, they caught such a large number of fish that their nets began to tear.
7 Mlen baka tie wo ni mbru mba nimi jirgi rima ndu ba ye zo ba. Ba ye nda vu lambe shu ni jirgi harli ba u jirgi ba bata grji hi nci ma.
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.
8 Amma Siman Bitrus, da'a to a he toyi, wa gbru ku ni Yesu ngbarju, nda tre hi don me, Bachi, me ndji u la tre.
When Simon Peter saw this, he fell at Jesus’ knees. “Go away from me, Lord,” he said, “for I am a sinful man.”
9 A tie sissri, wawu ni biwa bana he niwu, don gbugbu lambe wa ba vu'a.
For he and his companions were astonished at the catch of fish they had taken,
10 Ba Yakubu mba Yohana imri Zabadi, bana kpukpan Siman. Yesu a hla ni Siman, na klu sissri na, don rji ni zizanyi hi ko shishi, u ta vu ndji.
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.”
11 Da ba nji jirgi ba ye ni ra, ba ka kpi mba don wawu nda huu.
And when they had brought their boats ashore, they left everything and followed Him.
12 Ba zihe u wa he ni gburi, indji ri u lilo kpurju a he ni ki. Da a toh Yesu, a tie gbru kugru ni shishi nda bre Yesu nda tre “Bachi, u tie kpanyime u toh kpa me tie ndindi.
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.”
13 Yesu n'me wo ma ka gbire nda tre, “Mi nhime. Kpa den.” Gbla me lilo ka rju donwu.
Jesus reached out His hand and touched the man. “I am willing,” He said. “Be clean!” And immediately the leprosy left him.
14 Amma ndu na hla dio ti na nda hla wu, “Hi kpame ndi hi tsro tume ni Pirist ndi nno hadaya u wa ba tsarkake wu'a na wa dokaMusa tre, ndu sheda 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.”
15 Amma itre ma vra shu hi gbugbanmu u gbugbu ndji baka nji kamba ye wo'u babu tsuro nda den bi lilo.
But the news about Jesus spread all the more, and great crowds came to hear Him and to be healed of their sicknesses.
16 Amma ana k'ma hi miji nda bre Irji.
Yet He frequently withdrew to the wilderness to pray.
17 Aye ni viri aka si tsro, u farisawa ni bi tsro Ataurat ba ye rji ni mmri gbu bi Galili ni Yahudiya u Wurishelima ba ki ni kii. Ngbengble Bachi ndu den a he ni wu.
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.
18 Indji bari baka ban indji wa a qu kpa ni ta ba nda ye, ba wa nkoh u nji rihi hama wa ba nji hi zi ni k'bu Yesu.
Just then some men came carrying a paralyzed man on a mat. They tried to bring him inside to set him before Jesus,
19 Don ikpe ndi wa ba he'a, ba to me nda hon ni tu tra nda grji wu hi ni meme zu ni ndo a ri ni tsutsu ndji ni ko shishi 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.
20 Ni toh bangaskiya mba, Yesu tre, “Iwu ndji, ba wru la tre me hlega wu.”
When Jesus saw their faith, He said, “Friend, your sins are forgiven.”
21 Bi nha ni Farisawa baka wlu mye nd tre, “Ahi nha mu si tre la tre ba? Ahi nha ni wru latre ndji hle wu hamma ni Irji kima.
But the scribes and Pharisees began thinking to themselves, “Who is this man who speaks blasphemy? Who can forgive sins but God alone?”
22 Amma Yesu a toh mre dri mba nda sa bawu, “A ngyeri ti rhi u bi mye kpame kpe yi ni suron?
Knowing what they were thinking, Jesus replied, “Why are you thinking these things in your hearts?
23 A rime na ti di tre'u na? 'Ba wru latre me hle' 'wu ka wlunde ndi zren?'
Which is easier: to say, ‘Your sins are forgiven,’ or to say, ‘Get up and walk?’
24 Amma ndu yi to ndi vivren ndjiahe ni gbengble ni ngbungblu u wru latre hle, a hla ni ndji u qu kpa- me hla wu wlunde, ban tabli me ndi hi koh.'”
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.”
25 A ti wru wlunde ni shishi mba nda ban tabli wa ana kru ni tuma. A vu gon hi kpama ni koh ma, nda ni gbre Irji san.
And immediately the man stood up before them, took what he had been lying on, and went home glorifying God.
26 Ko nha a tie sissri nda gbre Irji San. Sissri shu bawu suron u ba tre, “Ki toh ikpi wa ba nna gbengble tre.
Everyone was taken with amazement and glorified God. They were filled with awe and said, “We have seen remarkable things today.”
27 Ni wa a kle'a, Yesu a rju niki naka toh indji u kpa haraji wa indema hi Lawi, son ni mi bru u kpa haraji. A tre ni wu, “Hu me.”
After this, Jesus went out and saw a tax collector named Levi sitting at the tax booth. “Follow Me,” He told him,
28 Lawi a wlu nda hu nda ka kpi ma wawuu don.
and Levi got up, left everything, and followed Him.
29 Lawi hi ka tie ngan ni Yesu ni koh ma. Bi kpa haraji ba ka gbugbu niki ni ndi bari wa ba ka rhi biri ni tebru riri ni 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.
30 Amma Farisawa ni bi nha ba renyu ni mri koh ma nda, Ingye sa bi ki rhi ndi ni so ni bi kpa haraji ni bi latre bayi?
But the Pharisees and their scribes complained to Jesus’ disciples, “Why do you eat and drink with tax collectors and sinners?”
31 Yesu sa bawu, “Indji wa ba he piyan me bana du'u den na, sai bi wa ba lo'a.
Jesus answered, “It is not the healthy who need a doctor, but the sick.
32 Mi na ye yo bi ndindi na amma mi ye ni bi latre ndu kpa tre Irji.
I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners, to repentance.”
33 Ba tre wu, mri ko Yohana ba zan son hlan ma ni bre Irji, u mri koh Farisawa ngame. Amma mri koh me ba rhi nda ni so.”
Then they said to Him, “John’s disciples and those of the Pharisees frequently fast and pray, but Yours keep on eating and drinking.”
34 Yesu aka tre ni ba, “Ahi ndji rime ni yo kpukpan iwa sa vu nyu u iwasa rhi he ni ba rhi?
Jesus replied, “Can you make the guests of the bridegroom fast while He is with them?
35 Amma ivi ni ye wa ba ban iwasa'a hi nda ka ba don u ni nton ki ba vu nyu.
But the time will come when the bridegroom will be taken from them; then they will fast.”
36 Yesu a tre mba ngaoli ni misali. “Bana nha pli sama ka mla wran k'mo mana. Ani ta tie toki, ani y'ba pli sa, u plisa na k'li niwu k'mo'a na.
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 Ba ndi wa ani wine sama ni mi cice imbu - ntan. Ini ta tie toki u wine sa ani yra mbu'a u wine ka kuhle, u imbu - ntan ni tie me.
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.
38 Amma wine sama ba suru ni mi mbu-ntan sama.
Instead, new wine is poured into new wineskins.
39 Indji wa'a so wine rji mi cice imbu-ntan ani son so don ani tre wine k'mo'a abi zan.
And no one after drinking old wine wants new, for he says, ‘The old is better.’”
