Luka 5
1 Lyuŵa limo Che Yesu ŵajimi mungulugulu litanda lya Genesaleti ni ŵandu ŵajinji ŵansyungwile ni kwaŵijikanya ali nkupilikanila liloŵe lya Akunnungu.
On one occasion the crowd was pressing on Him and listening to God's Message, while He was standing by the Lake of Gennesaret.
2 Ŵasiweni ngalaŵa siŵili mungulugulu litanda ni ŵakukoka somba ali akopweche, ali nkusaula nyau syao.
He, however, saw two fishing-boats drawn up on the beach (for the men had gone away from them and were washing the 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.
and going on board one of them, which was Simon's He asked him to push out a little from land. Then He sat down and taught the crowd of people from the boat.
4 Paŵamasile kwiganya ŵaasalile che Simoni, “Njitute ngalaŵa kwaula pa meesi ga kwendesya mu litanda, nsiponye nyau syenu ni kukoka somba.”
When He had finished speaking, He said to Simon, "Push out into deep water, and let down your nets for a haul."
5 Che Simoni ŵajanjile kuti, “Ambuje, tulajilile kukoka somba chilo chose pangapata chindu, nambo pakuŵa nsaasile chinasiponye nyau.”
"Rabbi," replied Peter, "all night long we have worked hard and caught nothing; but at your command I will let down the nets."
6 Paŵapanganyisye yeleyo ŵakokwele somba syesijinji nnope ni nyau syao syatandite kukutuka.
This they did, and enclosed a vast number of fish; and their nets began to break.
7 Ŵaaŵilasile achinjao ŵaŵaliji mu ngalaŵa jiine aichanje kukwakamusya. Ŵaiche ni ŵagumbesye somba ngalaŵa siŵili ni ngalaŵa syo syatandite kutitimila.
So they signalled to their partners in the other boat to come and help them; they came, and they filled both the boats so that they almost sank.
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 this, he fell down at the knees of Jesus, and exclaimed, "Master, leave my boat, for I am a sinful man."
9 Che Simoni pamo ni achinjakwe ŵasimosile ligongo lya winji wa somba syapatile sila.
(For he was astonished and terrified--he and all his companions--at the haul of fish which they had taken;
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.”
and so were Simon's partners James and John, the sons of Zabdi.) But Jesus replied to Simon, "Fear not: from this time you shall be a catcher of men."
11 Nipele paŵamasile kusiichisya ngalaŵa sila mungulugulu litanda, ŵalesile yose ni ŵakuiye Che Yesu.
Then, after bringing their boats to land, they left everything and followed Him.
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.”
On another occasion, when He was in one of the towns, there was a man there covered with leprosy, who, seeing Jesus, threw himself at His feet and implored Him, saying, "Sir, if only you are willing, you are able to make me clean."
13 Che Yesu ŵajongwele nkono ni ŵankwaiye ni kuti, “Ngusaka, nswejele!” Papopo mundu jo ŵalamile matana.
Reaching out His hand and touching him, Jesus said, "I am willing; be cleansed!" And instantly the leprosy left him.
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.”
He ordered him to tell no one. "But go," He said, "show yourself to the Priest, and make the offering for your purification which Moses appointed, as evidence for them."
15 Nambo ngani syasikwagamba Che Yesu syapundile kwenela pana pose ni mipingo ja ŵandu jasongangene kukwapikanila ni kulamiswa ilwele yao.
But all the more the report about Him spread abroad, and great multitudes crowded to hear Him and to be cured of their diseases;
16 Nambo Che Yesu ŵalisapwile pajika pe ni kupopela.
but Jesus Himself constantly withdrew into the Desert and there prayed.
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 He was teaching, and there were Pharisees and teachers of the Law sitting there who had come from every village in Galilee and Judaea and from Jerusalem. And the power of the Lord was present for Him to cure people.
18 Ŵaiche ŵandu ŵampepe ali anjigele mundu jwakutatala ali agonile mu chitagala, ŵalinjile kwajinjisya nkati achisakaga kwaŵika paujo pa Che Yesu.
And a party of men came carrying a palsied man on a bed, and they endeavoured to bring him in and lay him before 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 when they could find no way of doing so because of the crowd, they went up on the roof and let him down through the tiling--bed and all--into the midst, in front of Jesus.
20 Nombe Che Yesu paŵachiweni chikulupi chao ŵansalile, “Ambusanga, nlecheleswe sambi syenu.”
He saw their faith and said to him, "Friend, 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!”
Then the Scribes and Pharisees began to cavil, asking, "Who is this, uttering blasphemies? Who but God alone can forgive sins?"
22 Nambo Che Yesu ŵasimanyi ng'anisyo syao ni ŵausisye kuti “Kwachichi nkuliusya yeleyi mmitima jenu?
Well aware of their reasonings, Jesus answered their questions by asking in turn, "What is this that you are debating in your hearts?
23 Chaapi chili chakwepepala nnope, kusala, ‘Sambi syenu silecheleswe,’ pane kusala, ‘Njimuche njaule?’
Which is easier? --to say, 'Your sins are forgiven,' or to say, 'Rise 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.”
But to prove to you that the Son of Man has authority on earth to forgive sins" --Turning to the paralytic He said, "I bid you, Rise, take up your bed, and go home."
25 Papopo mundu jula ŵajimwiche paujo pao ni kunyakula chitagala chao chiŵagonele ni kwaula kumangwao achakusyaga Akunnungu.
Instantly he stood up in their presence, took up the mattress on which he had been lying, and went away to his home, giving glory to God.
26 Ŵanawose ŵasimosile ni kukamulwa ni lipamba, ŵaakusisye Akunnungu achitiji “Lelo tuiweni yakusimonjeka.”
Amazement seized them all. "Glory to God!" was the abiding feeling. Yet fear flashed through their minds and they said, "We have seen strange things to-day."
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!”
After this He went out and noticed a tax-gatherer, Levi by name, sitting at the Toll office; and He said to him, "Follow me."
28 Nombe che Lawi ŵajimi, ŵalesile yose ni kwakuya.
He rose, left everything, and followed Him.
29 Che Lawi ŵaalaliche Che Yesu aiche kulya mu nyuumba jao. Mpingo wa ŵandu ŵakukumbikanya nsongo ni ŵandu ŵane ŵatemi kulya pamo nawo.
Levi also gave a great entertainment at his house in honour of Jesus, and there was a large party of tax-gatherers and others at table with them.
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?”
This led the Pharisees and Scribes of their party to expostulate with His disciples and ask, "Why are you eating and drinking with these tax-gatherers and notorious sinners?"
31 Che Yesu ŵajanjile, “Ŵangakulwala ngakwalajila ŵantela ikaŵe ŵakulwala.
But Jesus replied to them, "It is not men in good health who require a physician, but the sick.
32 Nganiika kukwaŵilanga ŵandu ŵakupanganya yaili yambone paujo pa Akunnungu nambo ŵaali ni sambi kuti aleche sambi.”
I have not come to call the righteous to repentance, but 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.”
Again they said to Him, "John's disciples fast often and pray, as do also those of the pharisees; but yours eat and drink."
34 Che Yesu ŵajanjile, “Uli, ana nkuganisya kuti nkukombola kwatendekasya achambusanga ŵa mlombela ataŵe akuno ali pamo nawo?
"Can you compel the bridal party to fast," replied Jesus, "so long as they have the bridegroom among them?
35 Nambo chikaiche katema pachajigalikwe mlombela jo pasikati jao, gele moŵa go chachitaŵa.”
But a time for this will come, when the Bridegroom has been taken away from them: then, at that time, they will 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.
He also spoke in figurative language to them. "No one," He said, "tears a piece from a new garment to mend an old one. Otherwise he would not only spoil the new, but the patch from the new would not 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.
Nor does any one pour new wine into old wine-skins. Otherwise the new wine would burst the skins, the wine itself would be spilt, and the skins be destroyed.
38 Nambo divai jasambano jikutajikwa mu misaku jasambano.
But new wine must be put into fresh wineskins.
39 Ngapagwa jwakusaka kung'wa divai jasambano ali ang'wele jakalakala pakuŵa akuti, ‘Jele jakalakala jo ni jambone nnope.’”
Nor does any one after drinking old wine wish for new; for he says, 'The old is better.'"
