Luke 5
1 Nikhat Yeshuan Galilee dillen panga thu asei laiyin, mihonpi tamtah'in Pathen thu ngainom na jal'in aneh chinto tauvin ahi.
One day while many people were crowding around him to hear the message from God, Jesus was standing on the shore of Gennesaret Lake, [which is also called Lake Galilee].
2 Kong ni akeuva tuipi pamchin'a akingah amudoh tan, ajehchu ngaman mi ho chun adalhah uva alen'u akisop u ahi.
He saw two [fishing] boats at the edge of the lake. The fishermen had gone out of the boats and were washing their [fishing] nets [on the shore]. One of the boats belonged to Simon.
3 Kong khatpa sunga chun alut in, kong neipa Simon jah'a Yeshuan twi lah'a asot lut dingin aseiye. Hijeh chun kong sunga chun atouvin, mihonpi chu chua kon in thu ahil'in ahi.
Jesus got in that boat and asked Simon to push the boat a little bit away from the shore [so that he could speak to the crowd more easily. Jesus] sat in the boat and taught the people [who were on the shore].
4 Thu asei jouvin Simon jah'a, “Tun chen, lithuh langjep ah, nalen chu seplhan, nga themkhat manding in,” ati.
After he finished speaking [to them], he said to Simon, “Push the boat out to where the water is deep. Then let your nets down [into the water] to catch [some fish]!”
5 “Pipu” tin Simon in ahin donbut in, “Jankhovah hel'a habol'a kabol u ahin chule ima manlou kahiuve. Hinlah nangman nasei ahileh len seplha kit inge,” ati.
Simon replied, “Master, we [(exc)] worked hard all night but we did not catch any [fish]. But because you [(sg)] tell me to do it, I will let down the nets.”
6 Tu vang'in alen'u nga adimset in akehlha pan tai!
When Peter [and the men with him] had done that, they caught so many fish that their nets were breaking.
7 Kithopi angeh nauva konin akivoppi hou kong dang khat'ah ahung un, chule chomlou kah'in kong teni chu anigel'in nga adimset in alhalut paiding ahilhon tai.
They motioned to their partners in the other boat to come and help them. So they came and filled both the boats [with fish from the net]. The result was that the boats were so full that they began to sink.
8 Simon Peter in thilsoh ho amuchet phat in Yeshua masangah adilsun chule aseitai, “Oh Pakai, lungset in neidalhan–keima navel'a um ding'in kachonse behseh jenge,” ati.
Simon and all the men who were with him were amazed at how many fish they had taken. James and John, the two sons of Zebedee, who were Simon’s partners, were among those who were amazed. When Simon, [whose other name was] Peter, saw [the fish, feeling ashamed to be in the presence of someone who obviously had God’s power], he prostrated himself before Jesus and said, “Lord, you should go away from me, because I am a sinful man!”
9 Ijeh inem itile nga chujat amat jeng uchu kidang asah val ahi, adangho jong chutima chu ahiuve.
10 Akiloipi teu, James le John, Zebedee chapateni jong chun kidang asalhon'e. Yeshuan Simon adonbut'in, “Kicha hih'in! tua pat'a miman joh'a napan ding ahitai,” ati.
But Jesus said to Simon, “Do not be afraid! [Up until now you(sg) have been gathering fish] [MET], but from now on you will gather people [to become my disciples].”
11 Chule tolgo lah alhun lhun uchun, amahon thil jouse adalhauvin Yeshua nung ajui tauve.
So after they brought the boats to the shore, they left their business [HYP] [in the hands of others] and went with Jesus.
12 Khokhat a hin Yeshuan phat sottah phah nat a dammo khat amui. Hiche mipa chun Yeshua amu chun amai tol'a asulut in adamsah din athum'e. “Pakai” tin aseiyin, “Nalung ahileh nei sudam theiyin chule nei sutheng theiye,” ati.
While [Jesus] was in one of the cities [there in the district of Galilee], there was a man there who was very severely affected by leprosy. When he saw Jesus, he prostrated himself before him and, [wanting Jesus to heal him], pleaded with him, “Lord/Sir, [please heal me, because] you are able to heal me if you are willing to!”
13 Yeshuan akhut alhangin atham'in, “Kalung ahi” tin aseiyin, “Damin!” ati. Chupet tah chun phahnat na chu abeihel tai.
[Then Jesus, disregarding the religious law that forbade people to come close to lepers], reached out his hand and touched the man. He said, “I am willing [to heal you]; and I heal you now!” Immediately the man [was healed]. He was no longer a leper [PRS]!
14 Chuin Yeshuan amapa chu koima jah'a thilsoh ho aseipeh louna din ahilchah tai. Aman aseipeh in, “Thempupa koma chen chule aman na vechil hen. Mose dan'in angeh dungjuiya atiphah nat kiboldam peh hon apeh dinga lom ho kichoiyin. Hiche hi japi lah'a suhthenga naum phondohna ahi,” ati.
Then Jesus told him, “Make sure that you do not report [your healing immediately. First, go to a priest in Jerusalem] and show yourself to him [so that he can examine you and verify that you no longer have leprosy]. After the priest tells [the local people], they will know that [you have been healed, and you will be able to associate with them again]. Also take to the priest [the offering] that Moses commanded [that people who have been healed from leprosy should offer].”
15 Yeshuan chutia ahilchah jeng vang chun, athilbol theina thuho gangjep joh'in thejal ahin, chule mihonpi tamtah athusei ngai ding le anatnau damsah nomna jeh'in ahung uve.
But many people heard the man’s report of what [Jesus had done]. The result was that large crowds came to Jesus to hear his [message] and to be healed of their sicknesses {so that he would heal their sicknesses}.
16 Ahin Yeshua ataodin gamthip lah'a achemang jin ahi. Yeshuan Langthi Khat Adamsah
But he often would go away from them to the desolate area and pray.
17 Nikhat Yeshuan thu ahil laiyin, Pharisee phabep khat le hou dan thuhil ho ama kom naina ah atou uve. (Hiche miho hi Galilee le Judea chule Jerusalem gam pumpi khotin'a hungdoh hiuleh akilom'e). Chule Pakai misuhdam na thilboltheina chu Yeshua komah hatah in aumin ahi.
One day when [Jesus] was teaching, some men from the Pharisee [sect] were sitting there. Some of them were men who taught the [Jewish] laws. They had come from many [HYP] villages in Galilee [district] and also from Jerusalem and from [other] villages in Judea [district]. [At that time while] God was giving Jesus power to heal people,
18 Miphabep khat in elbai nakong khat alupna pumin ahin pouvin ahung uve. Insunga Yeshua kom pohlut tei agouvin,
several men brought on a sleeping pad a man who was paralyzed. They wanted to bring him into [the house] and lay him in front of Jesus.
19 hinlah mihonpi jeh chun aphajou tapouve. Hijeh chun inchungah akaldoh un inting aphelhauvin, chuin amahon adamloupa chu alupna pheh pumin mihonpi lah Yeshua maikoh laitah achun ahin khaisuh uve.
But there was no way to do that because of the large crowd of people, so they went up [the steps] onto the roof. They tied ropes onto the sleeping pad and, after [removing some of] the tiles on the roof, they lowered the man [on] the sleeping pad. They lowered him through the opening into the midst of the crowd in front of Jesus.
20 Atahsan jeu amuchun Yeshuan mipa koma chun aseitai, “Gollhang, nachonset akingaidam tai” atipeh e.
When Jesus perceived that they believed that [he could heal the man], he said to him, “My friend, [I] forgive your sins!”
21 Ahivangin Pharisee hole hou danthuhil hochu amaho le amaho akihouvun, “Amahi koiya kigel ham? Pathen taitom ahi! Pathen bouseh in chonset angaidam thei ahi,” atitauve.
The men who taught the [Jewish] laws and the rest of the Pharisees began to think within themselves, “Who does this man [think he is, saying] that? He is insulting God! (Nobody can forgive sins!/What person can forgive sins?) [RHQ] Only God can do that!”
22 Yeshuan ipi agel'u ahen, hijeh chun amaho chu adongin, “Ipi jeh'a nalungsung uva hiche hi nadoh uham?
Jesus perceived what they were thinking. So he said to them, “(You should not think that way [about what I said]!/Why do you question within yourselves [about what I said]?) [RHQ] [Consider this]:
23 Hoiche joh seidinga baijo em ‘Nachonset kingaidam ahitai’ kiti le ‘dingin lang lamjot tan’ tihi?” ati.
It would [not] be risky [for someone] to say [to this man], ‘[I] forgive your sins,’ [because no one could see whether or not his sins were really forgiven. But no one] [RHQ], [without having the power to heal], would say to [him], ‘Get up and walk!’ [because people could easily see whether he was healed or not].
24 “Hijeh a chu keiman Mihem Chapan leiset ah chonset ngaidam na tha aneiye ti kavetsah ding nahiuve,” ati. Chuin Yeshuan elbai nakong pa lam ngan akiheiyin aseitai, “Dingin, nalupna pheh kilahdoh in lang, inlam'ah chetan,” ati.
But [as a result of my healing this man] you [(pl)] will know that [God] has authorized [me], the one who came from heaven, to forgive the sins [of people while I am on] the earth, [as well as to heal people].” Then he said to the man who was paralyzed, “To you I say, ‘Get up, pick up your sleeping pad, and go home!’”
25 Chuin gangtah in, mihon avetjing layin, mipa chu ahung chomdoh in, alupna akilahdoh in, chule inlam Pathen thangvah pumin achetai.
Immediately the man [was healed]. He stood up in front of them. He picked up the [sleeping pad] on which he had been lying, and went home, praising God.
26 Mijouse chu lungdon nale tijatnan alodim un, chule Pathen avahchoiyun, “Tunin thil kidang ho kamu uve,” tin aphongdoh uve.
All the people [there] were amazed! They praised God and were completely awestruck. They kept saying, “We [(inc)] have seen wonderful things today!”
27 Phat chomkhat jouvin, Yeshuan khopi adalhah le, kaidong khat amin Levi kiti akaidon na munah amun, “Neijuiyin lang ka seijui hin” tin Yeshuan asei tai.
Then [Jesus] left [the town] and saw a man who collected taxes [for the Roman government]. His name was Levi. He was sitting in the booth where he collected the taxes. Jesus said to him, “Come with me [and become my disciple]!”
28 Hiti chun Levi jong akipatdoh in, thil jouse adalhan ama ajuitai.
So Levi left his work [HYP] and went with Jesus.
29 Chujouvin Levin a'in ah Yeshua jin-ja-um hinan an-nehkhom abol in ahi. Levi tohkhompi kaidong tampi le maljin dang in jong an anekhom uve.
Afterwards, Levi prepared a big feast in his own house [for Jesus and his disciples]. There was a large group of tax collectors and others eating together with them.
30 Ahivangin Pharisee hole ahou danthuhil houvin Yeshua seijui ho hengah aphunchel uvin, “Ipi dinga khutobang aboh hotoh naneh uva nadonkhom uham?” atiuvin ahi.
The men who were there who taught the [Jewish] laws, ones who belonged to the Pharisee [sect], complained to Jesus’ disciples, saying, “([It is disgusting that] you are eating with tax collectors and [others who we(exc) consider to be] sinners!/Why are you eating with tax collectors [and others who we(exc) consider to be] sinners?)” [RHQ]
31 Yeshuan adonbut in, “Midamthei ten louthem angaicha pouve–adamlouten vang angaichauve.
Then, [to indicate that it was those who knew that they had sinned who were coming to him for help], Jesus said to them, “[It is] people who are sick who need a doctor, not those who are well [MET].
32 Keima achonpha'a kigel ho kouva hung kahipoi, amavang chonse ahi kihetdoh'a lunghei dingho kouva hung'ah kahibouve” ati.
[Similarly], I did not come [from heaven] to invite [those who think they are] righteous [to come to me]. On the contrary, [I came to invite those who know that they are] sinners to turn from their sinful behavior [and come to me].”
33 Nikhat miphabep in Yeshua jah'a, “Tuilutsah John seijui hon an angol'un atao jom jing un, chule Pharisee ho seijui honjong chutima chun aboluve. Ipi jeh a nangma seijui hon phatseh'a aneh uva adon jing jengu hitam?” tin aseiyun ahi.
[Those Jewish leaders] said to Jesus, “The disciples of John [the Baptizer] often abstain from food [to show that they want to please God], and the disciples of the Pharisees do that, too. But your disciples keep on eating and drinking! [Why do not they fast like the others]?”
34 Yeshuan adonbut in, “Moupui golvahna a maljin hon moulang toh mou aloplaiyuva an angol ngaiyum? Tahbeh in achutipoi.
[To show them that it was not appropriate for his disciples to be sad and abstain from food while he was still with them] [MET], Jesus said to them, “When (the bridegroom/man who is getting married) is with [his friends at the time of the wedding], you certainly do not make his friends abstain from food, do you [RHQ]? [No, you do not do that].
35 Amavang moulang chu nikhat amahoa kona kilamang ding ahi, chuteng tah le amahon an angol diu ahi.” ati.
[But] some day he will be taken away {[his enemies] will take him away} from them. Then, at that time, his friends will abstain from food, [because they will be sad].”
36 Chuin Yeshuan hiche thutekah hi apen ahi: “Koiman ponhal vonthah'a konin acheplhan chule vonlui behnan aneipoi. Ijeh inem itileh vonthah chu seding ahitai, chule hiche vonthah hal chu vonlui chutoh kijot lou ding ahi.”
Then Jesus told them two parables [to show them that those who desire to live according to God’s new message should not be forced to obey the old religious traditions like] ([fasting/abstaining from food]), [and that those who know only the old traditions are not eager to accept new ones] [MET]. He said, “People never tear a piece of cloth from a new garment and attach it to an old garment [to mend it]. If they did that, not only would they be ruining the new garment by tearing it, but the new piece of cloth would not match the old garment.
37 “Chuleh koiman lengpitwi thah peng luiyah akhum ngaipoi. Ijeh inem itile lengpitwi thah chun savun peng chu aphutjah ding, lengpitwi chu kisujah ding chule peng chu kisuse ding ahi.
Neither does anyone put freshly-[squeezed] grape juice into old skin bags [to store it]. If anyone did that, the grape juice would burst the skin bags [because they would not stretch when the] new [wine ferments and expands. Then] the skin bags would be ruined, and [the wine] would [also] be spilled.
38 Lengpitwi thah chu savun peng thah a khum ding ahi.
On the contrary, new wine must be put into new wineskins.
39 Ahin koima lengpitwi lui don'in athah chu adeiji tapoi. ‘Aluipa ma aphajenge’ atijiuve,” tin aseiye. Yeshua Seijuihon Cholngah Nikhoa Changvui Asiu
Furthermore, those who have drunk [only] old wine [are content with that]. They do not want to drink the new wine, because they say, ‘The old wine is [MET] fine!’”
