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.
Now it came about that while the people came pushing to be near him, and to have knowledge of the word of God, he was by a wide stretch of water named Gennesaret;
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.
And he saw two boats by the edge of the water, but the fishermen had gone out of 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.
And he got into one of the boats, the property of Simon, and made a request to him to go a little way out from the land. And being seated he gave the people teaching from the boat.
4 Da a hla kle bawu a tre ni Siman, “Nji jirgi'a hi mima ndi kata hi ni honlon ma.”
And when his talk was ended, he said to Simon, Go out into deep water, and let down your nets for fish.
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.”
And Simon, answering, said, Master, we were working all night and we took nothing: but at your word 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.
And when they had done this, they got such a great number of fish that it seemed as if their nets would be broken;
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.
And they made signs to their friends in the other boat to come to their help. And they came, and the two boats were so full that they were going down.
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.
But Simon, when he saw it, went down at the knees of Jesus and said, Go away from me, O Lord, for I am a sinner.
9 A tie sissri, wawu ni biwa bana he niwu, don gbugbu lambe wa ba vu'a.
For he was full of wonder and so were all those who were with him, at the number of fish which 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 James and John, the sons of Zebedee, who were working with Simon. And Jesus said to Simon, Have no fear; from this time forward you will be a fisher of men.
11 Da ba nji jirgi ba ye ni ra, ba ka kpi mba don wawu nda huu.
And when they had got their boats to the land, they gave up everything and went after 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.
And it came about that while he was in one of the towns, there was a leper there: and when he saw Jesus he went down on his face in prayer to him, saying, Lord, if it is your pleasure, you have power to make me clean.
13 Yesu n'me wo ma ka gbire nda tre, “Mi nhime. Kpa den.” Gbla me lilo ka rju donwu.
And he put out his hand to him and said, It is my pleasure; be clean. And straight away his disease went from 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.”
And he gave him orders: Say nothing to any man, but let the priest see you and give an offering so that you may be made clean, as the law of Moses says, and for a witness 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 news of him went out all the more, in every direction, and great numbers of people came together to give hearing to his words and to be made well from their diseases.
16 Amma ana k'ma hi miji nda bre Irji.
But he went away by himself to a waste place for prayer.
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.
And it came about that on one of these days he was teaching; and some Pharisees and teachers of the law were seated there, who had come from every town of Galilee and Judaea and from Jerusalem; and the power of the Lord was with him, to make those who were ill free from their diseases.
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.
And some men had with them, on a bed, a man who was ill, without power of moving; and they made attempts to get him in and put 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.
And because of the mass of people, there was no way to get him in; so they went up on the top of the house and let him down through the roof, on his bed, into the middle in front of Jesus.
20 Ni toh bangaskiya mba, Yesu tre, “Iwu ndji, ba wru la tre me hlega wu.”
And seeing their faith he said, Man, you have forgiveness for your sins.
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.
And the scribes and Pharisees were having an argument, saying, Who is this, who has no respect for God? who is able to give forgiveness for sins, but God only?
22 Amma Yesu a toh mre dri mba nda sa bawu, “A ngyeri ti rhi u bi mye kpame kpe yi ni suron?
But Jesus, who had knowledge of their thoughts, said to them, Why are you reasoning in your hearts?
23 A rime na ti di tre'u na? 'Ba wru latre me hle' 'wu ka wlunde ndi zren?'
Which is the simpler: to say, You have forgiveness for your sins; or to say, Get up and go?
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 see that on earth the Son of man has authority for the forgiveness of sins, (he said to the man who was ill, ) I say to you, Get up, and take up your bed, and go into your house.
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 straight away he got up before them, and took up his bed and went away to his house giving praise to 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.
And wonder overcame them all, and they gave glory to God; and they were full of fear, saying, We have seen strange 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.”
And after these things he went out, and saw Levi, a tax-farmer, seated at the place where taxes were taken, and said to him, Come after me.
28 Lawi a wlu nda hu nda ka kpi ma wawuu don.
And giving up his business, he got up and went after 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.
And Levi made a great feast for him in his house: and a great number of tax-farmers and others were seated at table 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?
And the Pharisees and their scribes made protests against his disciples, saying, Why do you take food and drink with tax-farmers and sinners?
31 Yesu sa bawu, “Indji wa ba he piyan me bana du'u den na, sai bi wa ba lo'a.
And Jesus, answering, said to them, Those who are well have no need of a medical man, but those who are ill.
32 Mi na ye yo bi ndindi na amma mi ye ni bi latre ndu kpa tre Irji.
I have come, not to get the upright, but sinners, so that they may be turned from their sins.
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.”
And they said to him, The disciples of John frequently go without food, and make prayers, and so do the disciples of the Pharisees; but your disciples take food and drink.
34 Yesu aka tre ni ba, “Ahi ndji rime ni yo kpukpan iwa sa vu nyu u iwasa rhi he ni ba rhi?
And Jesus said, Are you able to make the friends of the newly-married man go without food when 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 days will come when he will be taken away from them, and then they will go without food.
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.
And he said to them, in a story, No man takes a bit of cloth from a new coat and puts it on to an old coat, for so the new coat would be damaged and the bit from the new would not go well with 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 man puts new wine into old wine-skins, for fear that the skins will be burst by the new wine, and the wine be let out, and the skins come to destruction.
38 Amma wine sama ba suru ni mi mbu-ntan sama.
But new wine has to be put into new wine-skins.
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 man, having had old wine, has any desire for new, for he says, The old is better.
