Luka 5
1 Lyuŵa limo Che Yesu ŵajimi mungulugulu litanda lya Genesaleti ni ŵandu ŵajinji ŵansyungwile ni kwaŵijikanya ali nkupilikanila liloŵe lya Akunnungu.
One day, as Jesus was standing beside the Sea of Galilee, people crowded around him to hear the word of God.
2 Ŵasiweni ngalaŵa siŵili mungulugulu litanda ni ŵakukoka somba ali akopweche, ali nkusaula nyau syao.
Jesus noticed two boats lying on the shore, left there by fishermen who were washing their nets.
3 Che Yesu ŵajinjile mu ngalaŵa jimo jijaliji ji che Simoni, ŵaaŵendile che Simoni ajisojechesye mmeesi, kwakutalichila kanandi kutyochela mungulugulu litanda. Ŵaujiganyisye mpingo wa ŵandu ali atemi mu ngalaŵa.
Jesus got into a boat, the one that belonged to Simon, and asked him to push it out into the water, just offshore. Then Jesus sat down in the boat and taught the people from there.
4 Paŵamasile kwiganya ŵaasalile che Simoni, “Njitute ngalaŵa kwaula pa meesi ga kwendesya mu litanda, nsiponye nyau syenu ni kukoka somba.”
After he'd finished speaking, he told Simon, “Go out into deeper water, and let down your nets for a catch.”
5 Che Simoni ŵajanjile kuti, “Ambuje, tulajilile kukoka somba chilo chose pangapata chindu, nambo pakuŵa nsaasile chinasiponye nyau.”
“Teacher, we worked hard all night, and didn't catch anything. But if you say so, I'll let down the nets,” Simon replied.
6 Paŵapanganyisye yeleyo ŵakokwele somba syesijinji nnope ni nyau syao syatandite kukutuka.
Having done this, a large shoal of fish filled the nets full to breaking point.
7 Ŵaaŵilasile achinjao ŵaŵaliji mu ngalaŵa jiine aichanje kukwakamusya. Ŵaiche ni ŵagumbesye somba ngalaŵa siŵili ni ngalaŵa syo syatandite kutitimila.
They waved to their partners in the other boat, asking them to come over and help. The others came over and together they filled both of the boats with fish. The boats were so full that they began to sink.
8 Che Simoni Petulo paŵaiweni yeleyo, ŵatindiŵele paujo pa Che Yesu achitiji, “Ambuje, ntyoche paujo pangu pakuŵa uneji ndili mundu jwa sambi!”
When Simon Peter saw what had happened, he dropped to his knees before Jesus. “Lord, please stay away from me, for I am a sinful man!” he exclaimed.
9 Che Simoni pamo ni achinjakwe ŵasimosile ligongo lya winji wa somba syapatile sila.
For he and everybody with him were completely amazed by the catch of fish that they had landed.
10 Iyoyo peyo che Yakobo ni che Yohana ŵanache ŵa che Sebedayo, ŵakukoka achinjakwe che Simoni nombewo ŵasimosile. Che Yesu ŵaasalile che Simoni, “Nkajogopa, kutandilila sambano chimme ŵakwaikanawo ŵandu kwa Ambuje.”
James and John, the sons of Zebedee, Simon's partners, felt the same way. “Don't be afraid,” Jesus told Simon. “From now on you'll be fishing for people!”
11 Nipele paŵamasile kusiichisya ngalaŵa sila mungulugulu litanda, ŵalesile yose ni ŵakuiye Che Yesu.
So they dragged the boats onto the shore, left everything, and followed Jesus.
12 Che Yesu paŵaliji musi umo mu misi ja kweleko, paliji ni jwannume juŵaliji ni matana chiilu chose, nombejo paŵammweni Che Yesu ŵagonile manguku ni kwachondelela aninkuti, “Ambuje mwasakaga muswejesye.”
Once when Jesus was visiting one of the towns, he met a man there who had a very bad case of leprosy. The man fell with his face to the ground and begged Jesus, “Please Lord, if you're willing, you can make me clean.”
13 Che Yesu ŵajongwele nkono ni ŵankwaiye ni kuti, “Ngusaka, nswejele!” Papopo mundu jo ŵalamile matana.
Jesus reached out and touched the man. “I am willing,” he said. “Be clean!” Immediately the leprosy disappeared.
14 Nombe Che Yesu ŵansalile, “Munansalile mundu jwalijose nambo njaule nkalilosye kwa jwambopesi, nkatyosye mbopesi kwa ligongo lya kuswejela kwenu mpela iŵatite pakusala che Musa uŵe umboni kuti nnamile.”
“Say nothing to anyone,” Jesus instructed him. “Go and show yourself to the priest and make the ceremonial offerings as required by the law of Moses as proof that you've been healed.”
15 Nambo ngani syasikwagamba Che Yesu syapundile kwenela pana pose ni mipingo ja ŵandu jasongangene kukwapikanila ni kulamiswa ilwele yao.
Yet the news about Jesus spread more and more. Large crowds came to hear Jesus and to be healed from their diseases.
16 Nambo Che Yesu ŵalisapwile pajika pe ni kupopela.
But Jesus often used to retreat to quiet places and pray.
17 Lyuŵa limo, Che Yesu ŵaliji nkwiganya, Mafalisayo ni ŵakwiganya malajisyo kutyochela misi jose ja ku Yudea ni ku Galilaya ni ku Yelusalemu ŵatemi papopo. Nipele machili ga Ambuje galiji pamo ni Che Yesu ligongo lya kwalamya ŵandu ŵa kulwala.
One day when Jesus was teaching, the Pharisees and religious teachers who had come from all over Galilee, Judea, and Jerusalem were sitting there. The power of the Lord to heal was with him so he could heal.
18 Ŵaiche ŵandu ŵampepe ali anjigele mundu jwakutatala ali agonile mu chitagala, ŵalinjile kwajinjisya nkati achisakaga kwaŵika paujo pa Che Yesu.
Some men arrived carrying a paralyzed man on a mat. They tried to take him in and lay him in front of Jesus.
19 Nambo ŵalepele kwinjila nkati ligongo lya winji wa ŵandu. Nipele ŵakwesile pachanya nyuumba, ŵapowele chipagala ni kwatulusya pamo ni chitagala mbindikati ja ŵandu paujo pa Che Yesu.
But they couldn't find any way through the crowd, so they went up on the roof and made a hole in the roof tiles. Then they lowered the man down on the mat, right into the crowd in front of Jesus.
20 Nombe Che Yesu paŵachiweni chikulupi chao ŵansalile, “Ambusanga, nlecheleswe sambi syenu.”
When Jesus saw the trust they had in him, he said to the man, “Your sins are forgiven.”
21 Mafalisayo ni ŵakwiganya Malajisyo ŵatandite kuliusyanga achitiji, “Aŵa ni ŵaani ŵakwatukana Akunnungu? Ngapagwa mundu jwakukombola kulechelesya sambi ikaŵe Akunnungu pe!”
The religious teachers and the Pharisees began to argue with that. “Who is this who's speaking blasphemies?” they asked. “Who can forgive sins? Only God can do that!”
22 Nambo Che Yesu ŵasimanyi ng'anisyo syao ni ŵausisye kuti “Kwachichi nkuliusya yeleyi mmitima jenu?
Jesus knew what they were arguing about, so he asked them, “Why are you thinking to question this?
23 Chaapi chili chakwepepala nnope, kusala, ‘Sambi syenu silecheleswe,’ pane kusala, ‘Njimuche njaule?’
What is easier? To say your sins are forgiven, or to say get up and walk?
24 Nipele ngusaka mmanyilile kuti Mwana jwa Mundu akwete ulamusi wa kwalechelesya ŵandu sambi syao pachilambo pano.” Pelepo ŵansalile mundu jwakutatala jo, “Njimuche, njigale chitagala chenu, njaule kumangwenu.”
However, I will prove to you that the Son of man has the authority here on earth to forgive sins.” Then he said to the paralyzed man, “I tell you: Get up, pick up your mat, and go home.”
25 Papopo mundu jula ŵajimwiche paujo pao ni kunyakula chitagala chao chiŵagonele ni kwaula kumangwao achakusyaga Akunnungu.
Immediately the man stood up in front of them. He picked up the mat he'd been lying on, and went home, praising God as he went.
26 Ŵanawose ŵasimosile ni kukamulwa ni lipamba, ŵaakusisye Akunnungu achitiji “Lelo tuiweni yakusimonjeka.”
Everyone was completely astonished at what had happened, and in great awe they praised God, saying, “What we saw today was amazing!”
27 Paŵamasile gelego, Che Yesu ŵakopweche paasa ni ŵammweni mundu jumpepe jwakukumbikanya nsongo liina lyakwe che Lawi ali atemi mu nyuumba ja kulipila nsongo ni Che Yesu ŵansalile, “Munguye une!”
Later, as Jesus was leaving the town, he saw a tax collector called Levi sitting at his tax booth. “Follow me,” Jesus told him.
28 Nombe che Lawi ŵajimi, ŵalesile yose ni kwakuya.
Levi stood up, left everything, and followed Jesus.
29 Che Lawi ŵaalaliche Che Yesu aiche kulya mu nyuumba jao. Mpingo wa ŵandu ŵakukumbikanya nsongo ni ŵandu ŵane ŵatemi kulya pamo nawo.
Levi organized a large banquet at his home in Jesus' honor. Many tax collectors and others were in the crowd that sat down to eat with them. But the Pharisees and the religious teachers complained to Jesus' disciples, asking,
30 Mafalisayo ni ŵakwiganya Malajisyo ŵaali mu mpingo wao ŵaalalamichile ŵakulijiganya ŵa Che Yesu aninkuti, “Kwachichi nkulya ni kung'wa pamo ni ŵakukumbikanya nsongo ni ŵaali ni sambi?”
“Why do you eat and drink with tax collectors and sinners?”
31 Che Yesu ŵajanjile, “Ŵangakulwala ngakwalajila ŵantela ikaŵe ŵakulwala.
“Healthy people don't need a doctor—but sick people do,” Jesus replied.
32 Nganiika kukwaŵilanga ŵandu ŵakupanganya yaili yambone paujo pa Akunnungu nambo ŵaali ni sambi kuti aleche sambi.”
“I didn't come to call those who are living right to repentance—I came to call sinners.”
33 Ŵandu ŵane ŵa mumpingo ula ŵaasalile Che Yesu, “Ŵakulijiganya ŵa che Yohana Ŵakubatisya akutaŵa kaŵilikaŵili ni kupopela ni ŵakulijiganya ŵa Mafalisayo akupanganya iyoyo peyo. Nambo ŵakulijiganya ŵenu akulya ni kung'wa.”
“Well, John's disciples often fast and pray, and the Pharisees' disciples do so as well. But your disciples don't—they go on eating and drinking,” they told him.
34 Che Yesu ŵajanjile, “Uli, ana nkuganisya kuti nkukombola kwatendekasya achambusanga ŵa mlombela ataŵe akuno ali pamo nawo?
“Should the groomsmen fast while the bridegroom is with them?” Jesus asked.
35 Nambo chikaiche katema pachajigalikwe mlombela jo pasikati jao, gele moŵa go chachitaŵa.”
“No—but the time is coming when the bridegroom will be taken away from them. Then they can fast.”
36 Che Yesu ŵatanjile achi chitagu chi, “Ngapagwa mundu jwakupapula chigamba mu nguo jasambano ni kutotela mu nguo jewisale atamuno atendaga yeleyo chajijonanje nguo jasambano jo ni sooni, chele chigamba cha nguo jasambano cho ngachijilana ni jewisale jo.
Then he gave them an illustration: “You don't tear out a patch from new clothes to mend old clothes. Otherwise you'd ruin new clothes, and the patch from the new wouldn't match the old.
37 Sooni ngapagwa mundu jwakutaga divai jasambano mu misaku jewisale jekolochekwe ni mapende pakuŵa jele divai jasambano jo chijipapule misaku ni divai chijimwasiche ni misaku jo chijijonasiche.
You don't put new wine into old wineskins, because if you did the new wine would burst the wineskins. Then both wine and wineskins would be wasted.
38 Nambo divai jasambano jikutajikwa mu misaku jasambano.
You put new wine in new wineskins.
39 Ngapagwa jwakusaka kung'wa divai jasambano ali ang'wele jakalakala pakuŵa akuti, ‘Jele jakalakala jo ni jambone nnope.’”
And nobody after drinking old wine wants new wine, for they say, ‘the old tastes good.’”
