< 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.
And it came to pass, that as the people pressed upon him to hear the word of God, he stood 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 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 prayed him that he would thrust out a little from the land. And he sat down, and taught the people 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.”
Now when he had left speaking, he said to Simon, Lanch 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 answering said to him, Master, we have toiled all the night, and have taken nothing; nevertheless, at thy word I will let down the net.
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 inclosed a great multitude of fishes: and their net broke.
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 to [their] partners, who were 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.
When Simon Peter saw [it], he 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 astonished, 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 [was] also James and John the sons of Zebedee, who were partners with Simon. And Jesus said to 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 forsook 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, when he was in a certain city, behold, a man full of leprosy: who seeing Jesus, 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 put forth [his] hand, and touched him, saying, I will: Be thou clean. And immediately 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, and show thyself to the priest, and offer for thy cleansing, according as Moses commanded for 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 so much the more a fame of him went abroad: and great multitudes came together to hear and to be healed by him of their infirmities.
16 Amma ana k'ma hi miji nda bre Irji.
And he withdrew himself into the wilderness, 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 a certain day, as he was teaching, that there were Pharisees and doctors of the law sitting by, who had come out of every town of Galilee, and Judea, and Jerusalem: and the power of the Lord was [present] to heal them.
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 brought in a bed a man who was taken with the palsy: and they sought [means] 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 when they could not find by what [way] they might bring him in, because of the multitude, they went upon the house-top, and let him down through the tiling 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 when he saw their faith, he said to him, 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 who 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 when Jesus perceived their thoughts, he answering, said to 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?'
Which is easier, to say, Thy sins are forgiven thee; or to say, Rise 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 upon earth to forgive sins, He said to the sick with the palsy, I say to thee, Arise, and take up thy couch, and go into 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 arose before them, and took up that on which he lay, and departed to his own 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 they were all amazed, and they glorified God, and were filled with fear, saying, We have seen strange things to-day.
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 saw a publican named Levi, sitting at the receipt of custom: and he said to him, Follow me.
28 Lawi a wlu nda hu nda ka kpi ma wawuu don.
And he left all, arose, 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 own house; and there was a great company of publicans, and of others that sat down 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 their scribes and Pharisees murmured against his disciples, saying, Why do ye eat and drink with 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 to them, They that are well need not 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 came not 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 to him, Why do the disciples of John fast often, and make prayers, and likewise [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 he said to them, Can ye make the children 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, when the bridegroom shall be taken from them, and then they will 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 spoke also a parable to them: No man putteth a piece of a new garment upon an old: if otherwise, then both the new maketh a rent, and the piece that was [taken] out of the new, agreeth not 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 bottles; else the new wine will burst the bottles, and be spilled, and the bottles will perish.
38 Amma wine sama ba suru ni mi mbu-ntan sama.
But new wine must be put into new bottles, and both are preserved.
39 Indji wa'a so wine rji mi cice imbu-ntan ani son so don ani tre wine k'mo'a abi zan.
No man also having drank old [wine], immediately desireth new: for he saith, The old is better.
