< 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 to pass, while the multitude pressed upon him and heard the word of God, that he was standing by the lake of 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 standing by the lake: 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 entered into one of the boats, which was Simon’s, and asked him to put out a little from the land. And he sat down and taught the multitudes out of 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 he had left speaking, he said unto Simon, Put out into the deep, and let down your nets for a draught.
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 answered and said, Master, we toiled all night, and took nothing: but at thy 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 this done, they enclosed a great multitude of fishes; and their nets were breaking;
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 beckoned unto their partners in the other boat, that they should come and help them. And they came, and filled both the boats, so 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.
But Simon Peter, when he saw it, fell down at Jesus’ knees, saying, Depart from me; for I am a sinful man, O Lord.
9 A tie sissri, wawu ni biwa bana he niwu, don gbugbu lambe wa ba vu'a.
For he was amazed, and all that were with him, at the draught of the fishes 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 also James and John, sons of Zebedee, which were partners with Simon. And Jesus said unto Simon, Fear not; from henceforth thou shalt 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 to land, they left all, 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.
And it came to pass, while he was in one of the cities, behold, a man full of leprosy: and when he saw Jesus, he fell on his face, and besought him, saying, Lord, if thou wilt, thou canst 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 stretched forth his hand, and touched him, saying, I will; be thou made clean. And straightway the leprosy departed 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 charged him to tell no man: but go thy way, and shew thyself to the priest, and offer for thy cleansing, according as Moses commanded, for a testimony unto 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 so much the more went abroad the report concerning him: and great multitudes came together to hear, and to be healed of their infirmities.
16 Amma ana k'ma hi miji nda bre Irji.
But he withdrew himself in the deserts, and prayed.
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 to pass on one of those days, that he was teaching; and there were Pharisees and doctors of the law sitting by, which were come out of every village of Galilee and Judaea and Jerusalem: and the power of the Lord was with him to heal.
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 behold, men bring on a bed a man that was palsied: and they sought to bring him in, and to lay him before him.
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 not finding by what [way] they might bring him in because of the multitude, they went up to the housetop, and let him down through the tiles with his couch into the midst before Jesus.
20 Ni toh bangaskiya mba, Yesu tre, “Iwu ndji, ba wru la tre me hlega wu.”
And seeing their faith, he said, Man, thy sins are forgiven thee.
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 the Pharisees began to reason, saying, Who is this that speaketh blasphemies? 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?
But Jesus perceiving their reasonings, answered and said unto them, What reason ye in your hearts?
23 A rime na ti di tre'u na? 'Ba wru latre me hle' 'wu ka wlunde ndi zren?'
Whether is easier, to say, Thy sins are forgiven thee; or to say, Arise 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 that ye may know that the Son of man hath power on earth to forgive sins (he said unto him that was palsied), I say unto thee, Arise, and take up thy couch, and go unto thy 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 immediately he rose up before them, and took up that whereon he lay, and departed to his house, 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.
And amazement took hold on all, and they glorified God; and they were filled with 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 forth, and beheld a publican, named Levi, sitting at the place of toll, and said unto him, Follow me.
28 Lawi a wlu nda hu nda ka kpi ma wawuu don.
And he forsook all, and rose up 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.
And Levi made him a great feast in his house: and there was a great multitude of publicans and of others that were sitting at meat 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 murmured against his disciples, saying, Why do ye eat and drink with the publicans 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 unto them, They that are whole have no need of a physician; but they that are sick.
32 Mi na ye yo bi ndindi na amma mi ye ni bi latre ndu kpa tre Irji.
I am 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.”
And they said unto him, The disciples of John fast often, and make supplications; likewise also the [disciples] of the Pharisees; but thine eat 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 unto them, Can ye make the sons of the bride-chamber fast, while the bridegroom 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; and when the bridegroom shall be taken away from them, then will they fast in those days.
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 spake also a parable unto them; No man rendeth a piece from a new garment and putteth it upon an old garment; else he will rend the new, and also the piece from the new will not agree 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 putteth new wine into old wineskins; else the new wine will burst the skins, and itself will be spilled, and the skins will perish.
38 Amma wine sama ba suru ni mi mbu-ntan sama.
But new wine must be put into fresh 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 man having drunk old [wine] desireth new: for he saith, The old is good.
