Luka 5
1 Chiengʼ moro achiel, ka Yesu nochungo but nam mar Genesaret, kendo ji kochokore molwore ka giwinjo wach Nyasaye.
One day, as Jesus was standing beside the Sea of Galilee, people crowded around him to hear the word of God.
2 Noneno yiedhi ariyo e dho wath, mane owe kanyo gi jolupo mane luoko tondegi.
Jesus noticed two boats lying on the shore, left there by fishermen who were washing their nets.
3 Nodonjo ei achiel kuom yiedhigo, mane mar Simon, mi nokwaye mondo osiane yie matin oa e dho wath. Eka nobedo piny kendo puonjo ji ka enie yie.
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 Kane osetieko wuoyo, nowachone Simon niya, “Kiew yie odhi e chuny pi kama tut, mondo uchik tondeu omak rech.”
After he'd finished speaking, he told Simon, “Go out into deeper water, and let down your nets for a catch.”
5 Simon nodwoke niya, “Ruoth, wasetiyo matek otieno duto to ok wasemako gimoro. To nikech iwacho kamano, abiro chiko tonde.”
“Lord, we worked hard all night, and didn't catch anything. But if you say so, I'll let down the nets,” Simon replied.
6 Kane gisetimo kamano, negimako rech mangʼeny makoro tonde ne chako yiech.
Having done this, a large shoal of fish filled the nets full to breaking point.
7 Kuom mano, ne gigwelo jowetegi mane ni e yie machielo mondo obi okonygi, to kane gibiro to negipongʼo yiedhi ariyogo ma gichako nimo.
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 Kane Simon Petro oneno mani, nopodho e tiend Yesu, mowacho niya, “Dhiyo ia ira Ruoth, an ngʼat ma jaricho!”
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 Nimar en kaachiel gi joma ne en-go duto nowuoro nikech rech mane gimako.
For he and everybody with him were completely amazed by the catch of fish that they had landed.
10 Kamano, Jakobo gi Johana ma yawuot Zebedi mane jotiyo gi Simon bende nowuoro. Eka Yesu nowachone Simon niya, “Kik iluor; chakre tinendeni ibiro bedo jaywa ji.”
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 Kuom mano negiketo yiedhigi oko e dho wath, negiweyo gik moko duto kendo ne giluwe.
So they dragged the boats onto the shore, left everything, and followed Jesus.
12 Kane Yesu ne nitie e achiel kuom mier, ngʼat moro ma dhoho omako dende duto nobiro ire, kane oneno Yesu, nopodho piny ka okulore e lowo kendo nosaye niya, “Ruoth, kiyie, to inyalo pwodha.”
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 Yesu norieyo bade momulo ngʼatno. Nowachone niya, “Ayie. Pwodhri!” Gikanyono dhoho noa kuome.
Jesus reached out and touched the man. “I am willing,” he said. “Be clean!” Immediately the leprosy disappeared.
14 Eka Yesu nochike niya, “Kik inyis ngʼato wachni to dhiyo, mondo inyisri ne jadolo kendo ichiw misengini ma Musa nochiko nikech pwodhruokni, mondo obed ranyisi ne gin.”
“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 To kata kamano humbe nomedo landore moloyo, momiyo oganda mag ji nobiro winje kendo mondo ochang tuochegi.
Yet the news about Jesus spread more and more. Large crowds came to hear Jesus and to be healed from their diseases.
16 To Yesu ne thoro dhiyo kuonde thim ma enie kende mondo olem.
But Jesus often used to retreat to quiet places and pray.
17 Chiengʼ moro kane opuonjo, jo-Farisai gi jopuonj chik, mane oa e mier duto mag Galili gi Judea kod Jerusalem, nobedo kanyono, to teko mar Ruoth ne ni kode mondo ochang jotuo.
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 Jomoko nobiro kotingʼo ja-athany e par kendo negitemo mondo gitere ei ot mondo gikele e nyim 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 To kane ok ginyal yudo yo mar timo kamano nikech oganda mane ni kode, negiidho ewi tado kendo powo wi tado, eka negilore gi par e dier oganda e nyim 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 Kane Yesu oneno yie ma jogo ne nigo, nowacho niya, “Osiepa, richoni oweni.”
When Jesus saw the trust they had in him, he said to the man, “Your sins are forgiven.”
21 Jo-Farisai gi jopuonj Chik nochako paro kendgi giwegi niya, “Mae to en ngʼa ma yanyo Nyasaye? Ere ngʼat manyalo weyone ngʼato richone makmana Nyasaye kende?”
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 Yesu nongʼeyo gima negiparo kendo nopenjogi niya, “Angʼo momiyo uparo gigi e chunyu?
Jesus knew what they were arguing about, so he asked them, “Why are you thinking to question this?
23 Ere mayot wacho kuom weche ariyogi, ‘Richoni oweni,’ koso wacho ni, ‘Aa malo mondo iwuothi’?
What is easier? To say your sins are forgiven, or to say get up and walk?
24 To mondo ungʼe ni Wuod Dhano nigi teko e piny mar weyo richo.” Yesu nowachone ja-athanyno niya, “Awachoni ni aa malo, kaw pieni mondo idhi dala.”
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 Gikanyono nochungo ka ji duto nene modhiyo dala kopako Nyasaye.
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 Ji duto nowuoro kendo negichiwo pak ni Nyasaye. Negiwuoro ahinya kendo negiwacho niya, “Waseneno gik malich kawuono.”
Everyone was completely astonished at what had happened, and in great awe they praised God, saying, “What we saw today was amazing!”
27 Bangʼ mano, Yesu nowuok odhi oko kendo noneno jasol osuru ma nyinge Lawi kobet e od jasol osuru. Yesu nowachone niya, “Luwa.”
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 To Lawi noa malo, moweyo gik moko duto kendo noluwe.
Levi stood up, left everything, and followed Jesus.
29 Eka Lawi noloso nyasi maduongʼ mar rwako Yesu e ode, oganda maduongʼ mar josol osuru kaachiel gi ji mamoko nobiro ne chiemo kodgi.
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 To jo-Farisai gi jopuonj chik margi ne ngʼur ni jopuonjrene niya, “Angʼo momiyo uchiemo kendo metho gi josol osuru kod joricho?”
“Why do you eat and drink with tax collectors and sinners?”
31 Yesu nodwokogi niya, “Joma ngima ok ema dwar jathieth makmana joma tuo.
“Healthy people don't need a doctor—but sick people do,” Jesus replied.
32 Ok ne abiro mondo aluong joma kare, to nabiro mondo aluong joricho mondo gilokre giwe richo.”
“I didn't come to call those who are living right to repentance—I came to call sinners.”
33 Negiwachone niya, “Jopuonjre Johana ne thoro tweyo chiemo kendo lamo, to bende jopuonjre mag jo-Farisai timo kamano, to jopuonjreni dhiyo mana nyime gi chiemo kendo metho.”
“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 To Yesu nodwokogi niya, “Bende inyalo miyo wend wuon kisera otwe chiemo ka pod en kodgi?
“Should the groomsmen fast while the bridegroom is with them?” Jesus asked.
35 To ndalo biro ma wuon kisera nogol e kindgi, e ndalogo ginitwe chiemo.”
“No—but the time is coming when the bridegroom will be taken away from them. Then they can fast.”
36 Eka nogoyonegi ngero machalo kama: “Onge ngʼama nyalo yiecho dir law manyien mondo obawgo mano moti. Ka otimo kamano, to obiro bedo ni oyiecho law manyien, kendo dir law manyien mobawgo law moti ok bi winjore gi moti.
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 Bende onge ngʼama olo divai manyien e piende moti mag tingʼo divai. Ka otimo kamano, divai manyien nyalo yiecho piend divaino mi divai pukre kendo piend divai biro kethore.
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 Ooyo, divai manyien nyaka ol mana e piende mag tingʼo divai manyien.
You put new wine in new wineskins.
39 To onge ngʼama bangʼ madho divai machon dwaro divai manyien, nimar giwacho ni, ‘Divai machon ber moloyo.’”
And nobody after drinking old wine wants new wine, for they say, ‘the old tastes good.’”
