Luke 5
1 Now while the multitude pressed on him and heard the word of God, he was standing by the lake of Gennesaret.
Otu oge, ka Jisọs guzo nʼakụkụ ọdọ mmiri Genesaret. Igwe mmadụ gbara ya gburugburu ka ha nụrụ okwu Chineke.
2 He saw two boats standing by the lake, but the fishermen had gone out of them and were washing their nets.
Ọ hụrụ nʼọnụ mmiri ahụ, ụgbọ mmiri abụọ nke ndị ọkụ azụ nwe ha hapụrụ gaa ịsa ụgbụ ha ji egbu azụ.
3 He entered into one of the boats, which was Simon’s, and asked him to put out a little from the land. He sat down and taught the multitudes from the boat.
Ọ banyere nʼime otu ụgbọ mmiri ndị ahụ, nke bụ nke Saimọn, ọ rịọrọ ya ka ọ kwọrọ ya banyetụ ntakịrị nʼime mmiri. Ọ nọdụrụ ala nʼime ya bido na-ezi igwe mmadụ ihe.
4 When he had finished speaking, he said to Simon, “Put out into the deep and let down your nets for a catch.”
Mgbe o kwusiri okwu, ọ gwara Saimọn sị, “Banyetụkwuo nʼime mmiri, tụnye ụgbụ gị ka i gbute azụ.”
5 Simon answered him, “Master, we worked all night and caught nothing; but at your word I will let down the net.”
Saimọn zara sị, “Nna anyị ukwuu, anyị rụsịrị ọrụ ike abalị niile na-egbutaghị ihe ọbụla, ma otu i sịrị kwuo, aga m awụnye ụgbụ azụ niile.”
6 When they had done this, they caught a great multitude of fish, and their net was breaking.
Mgbe ha mere nke a, ha gbutere ọtụtụ azụ nke mere na ụgbụ azụ ha malitere ịdọkasị.
7 They beckoned to their partners in the other boat, that they should come and help them. They came and filled both boats, so that they began to sink.
Ha kpọrọ ndị ọkụ azụ ibe ha nọ nʼụgbọ mmiri ọzọ ka ha bịa nyere ha aka. Ha bịara kpojuo azụ nʼụgbọ mmiri abụọ ahụ nke malitere imikpu.
8 But Simon Peter, when he saw it, fell down at Jesus’ knees, saying, “Depart from me, for I am a sinful man, Lord.”
Ma mgbe Saimọn Pita hụrụ nke a, ọ dara nʼukwu Jisọs sị, “Si nʼebe m nọ pụọ, Onyenwe m, nʼihi na abụ m onye mmehie.”
9 For he was amazed, and all who were with him, at the catch of fish which they had caught;
Nʼihi na o juru ya na ndị ya na ha so anya ịhụ ọtụtụ azụ ndị a ha gbutere.
10 and so also were James and John, sons of Zebedee, who were partners with Simon. Jesus said to Simon, “Do not be afraid. From now on you will be catching people alive.”
Ọ bụladị Jemis na Jọn ụmụ Zebedi, ndị ha na Saimọn na-arụkọ ọrụ, ka ihe a jukwara anya. Mgbe ahụ Jisọs gwara Saimọn sị, “Atụla egwu, nʼihi na site ugbu a gaa nʼihu, ị ga na-akụta mmadụ.”
11 When they had brought their boats to land, they left everything, and followed him.
Mgbe ha kwọpụtara ụgbọ mmiri ha nʼelu ala, ha hapụrụ ihe niile soro ya.
12 While he was in one of the cities, behold, there was a man full of leprosy. When he saw Jesus, he fell on his face and begged him, saying, “Lord, if you want to, you can make me clean.”
Mgbe Jisọs nọ nʼotu obodo, otu nwoke onye ekpenta juru ahụ, bịara daa, kpudo ihu ya nʼala mgbe ọ hụrụ ya, rịọ ya sị, “Onyenwe m, ọ bụrụ na ị chọrọ, ị pụrụ ime ka m dị ọcha.”
13 He stretched out his hand and touched him, saying, “I want to. Be made clean.” Immediately the leprosy left him.
Jisọs setịpụrụ aka ya metụ ya sị, “Achọrọ m, bụrụ onye dị ọcha!” Ngwangwa ekpenta ahụ hapụrụ ya.
14 He commanded him to tell no one, “But go your way and show yourself to the priest, and offer for your cleansing according to what Moses commanded, for a testimony to them.”
O nyere ya iwu, “A gwakwala onye ọbụla, kama gaa gosi onye nchụaja onwe gị, chụọkwa aja dị ka Mosis nyere nʼiwu maka ime ka ị dị ọcha, ka ọ bụrụ ihe ama nye ha.”
15 But the report concerning him spread much more, and great multitudes came together to hear and to be healed by him of their infirmities.
Ma akụkọ banyere ya gbasara karịa, nke mere na igwe mmadụ bịara ịnụrụ ihe ọ na-ekwu, na ka a gwọọkwa ha nrịa nrịa.
16 But he withdrew himself into the desert and prayed.
Ma site nʼoge ruo nʼoge, Jisọs na-ewezuga onwe ya gaa nʼebe ọ ga-anọ naanị ya ikpe ekpere.
17 On one of those days, he was teaching; and there were Pharisees and teachers of the law sitting by who had come out of every village of Galilee, Judea, and Jerusalem. The power of the Lord was with him to heal them.
Otu ụbọchị, mgbe ọ nọ na-ezi ndị mmadụ ihe, ndị Farisii na ndị ozizi iwu (sitere nʼobodo nta niile dị na Galili na Judịa na Jerusalem bịa nọdụkwa ebe) ahụ. Ike Chineke dịnyekwaara ya ịgwọ ndị ọrịa.
18 Behold, men brought a paralyzed man on a cot, and they sought to bring him in to lay before Jesus.
Nʼoge ahụ ndị ikom ụfọdụ bu otu nwoke akụkụ ahụ ya kpọnwụrụ akpọnwụ nʼihe ndina ya, bịara gbalịa isite nʼọnụ ụzọ ụlọ ahụ bubata ya tọgbọ ya nʼụkwụ ya.
19 Not finding a way to bring him in because of the multitude, they went up to the housetop and let him down through the tiles with his cot into the middle before Jesus.
Mgbe ha na-enweghị ike ime nke a nʼihi igwe mmadụ, ha rigooro nʼelu ụlọ, site nʼoghere wetuo nwoke ahụ nʼute ya nʼetiti igwe mmadụ nʼihu Jisọs.
20 Seeing their faith, he said to him, “Man, your sins are forgiven you.”
Mgbe Jisọs hụrụ okwukwe ha, ọ sịrị, “Enyi m, a gbagharala gị mmehie gị.”
21 The scribes and the Pharisees began to reason, saying, “Who is this who speaks blasphemies? Who can forgive sins, but God alone?”
Ndị Farisii na ndị ozizi iwu malitere iche nʼime obi ha sị, “Onye bụ onye a na-ekwulu Chineke? Onye pụrụ ịgbaghara mmadụ mmehie, ma ọ bụghị naanị Chineke?”
22 But Jesus, perceiving their thoughts, answered them, “Why are you reasoning so in your hearts?
Mgbe Jisọs matara ihe ha na-ajụ, ọ zara ha sị, “Gịnị mere unu ji na-eche ihe ndị a nʼobi unu?
23 Which is easier to say, ‘Your sins are forgiven you,’ or to say, ‘Arise and walk’?
Olee nke ka mfe ikwu: Ọ bụ a gbagharala gị mmehie gị niile, ka ọ bụ ị sị, Bilie jee ije?
24 But that you may know that the Son of Man has authority on earth to forgive sins,” he said to the paralyzed man, “I tell you, arise, take up your cot, and go to your house.”
Ma ka unu mata na Nwa nke Mmadụ nwere ikike nʼụwa ịgbaghara mmehie.” Ọ sịrị onye ahụ akụkụ ahụ ya kpọnwụrụ akpọnwụ, “Asị m gị, bilie, chịrị ute gị laa nʼụlọ gị!”
25 Immediately he rose up before them, and took up that which he was laying on, and departed to his house, glorifying God.
Ngwangwa, o biliri ọtọ nʼihu mmadụ niile, chịrị ihe ndina ya bido na-eto Chineke na-ala nʼụlọ ya.
26 Amazement took hold on all, and they glorified God. They were filled with fear, saying, “We have seen strange things today.”
Ihe ndị a juru onye ọbụla anya, ha tokwara Chineke. Oke egwu jupụtakwara ha nʼahụ, ha sịrị, “Anyị ahụla ihe ebube taa.”
27 After these things he went out and saw a tax collector named Levi sitting at the tax office, and said to him, “Follow me!”
Mgbe nke a gasịrị, ọ pụrụ hụ otu onye ọna ụtụ aha ya bụ Livayị, ka ọ nọdụrụ ala nʼụlọ ịnakọta ụtụ ya. Ọ sịrị ya, “Soro m.”
28 He left everything, and rose up and followed him.
Ngwangwa, o biliri, hapụ ihe niile soro ya.
29 Levi made a great feast for him in his house. There was a great crowd of tax collectors and others who were reclining with them.
Emesịa, Livayị kwadooro Jisọs oke oriri nʼụlọ ya, ọtụtụ igwe ndị ọna ụtụ na ndị ọzọ soo ha nʼoriri ahụ.
30 Their scribes and the Pharisees murmured against his disciples, saying, “Why do you eat and drink with the tax collectors and sinners?”
Ma ndị Farisii na ndị ozizi iwu tamuru ntamu na-ajụ ndị na-eso ụzọ ya sị, “Gịnị mere unu ji soro ndị ọna ụtụ na ndị mmehie na-erikọ nri na-aṅụkọkwa ihe ọṅụṅụ?”
31 Jesus answered them, “Those who are healthy have no need for a physician, but those who are sick do.
Jisọs zara sị, “Mkpa dibịa adịghị akpa ndị ahụ dị ike, kama ọ bụ ndị ahụ na-esighị ike.
32 I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners, to repentance.”
Abịaghị m ịkpọ ndị ezi omume, kama abịara m ịkpọ ndị mmehie ka ha chegharịa.”
33 They said to him, “Why do John’s disciples often fast and pray, likewise also the disciples of the Pharisees, but yours eat and drink?”
Ha sịrị, “Ndị na-eso ụzọ Jọn na ndị na-eso ụzọ ndị Farisii na-ebu ọnụ, na-ekpe ekpere oge niile, ma ndị na-eso ụzọ gị na-eri, na-aṅụkwa.”
34 He said to them, “Can you make the friends of the bridegroom fast while the bridegroom is with them?
Jisọs sịrị ha, “Ndị a kpọrọ oriri nʼọlụlụ di na nwunye, ha ga-ebu ọnụ mgbe ha na onye na-alụ nwunye ọhụrụ nọ?
35 But the days will come when the bridegroom will be taken away from them. Then they will fast in those days.”
Ma oge na-abịa mgbe a ga-ewepụ onye na-alụ nwunye nʼetiti ha, mgbe ahụ ka ha ga-ebu ọnụ.”
36 He also told a parable to them. “No one puts a piece from a new garment on an old garment, or else he will tear the new, and also the piece from the new will not match the old.
Ọ tụụrụ ha ilu a, “O nweghị onye na-adọkara akwa ọhụrụ were ya kwachie akwa ochie. Ọ bụrụ na e mee nke a, ọ pụtara na a dọwaala akwa ọhụrụ ahụ nʼihi na nke ahụ eji kwachie ya agaghị adaba.
37 No one puts new wine into old wineskins, or else the new wine will burst the skins, and it will be spilled and the skins will be destroyed.
Nʼụzọ dị otu a kwa, mmadụ adịghị agbanye mmanya ọhụrụ dị ike nʼime karama akpụkpọ ochie. Nʼihi na ike si na mmanya ọhụrụ ahụ ga-eme ka karama ahụ gbawaa. Mmanya ahụ ga-awụfukwa, karama ahụ a laa nʼiyi.
38 But new wine must be put into fresh wineskins, and both are preserved.
Ma ọ dị mma ịgbanye mmanya ọhụrụ nʼime karama akpụkpọ ọhụrụ.
39 No man having drunk old wine immediately desires new, for he says, ‘The old is better.’”
O nweghị onye ṅụsịrị mmanya ochie ga-achọ ịṅụ mmanya ọhụrụ, nʼihi na ọ ga-asị, ‘Nke ochie ahụ ka mma.’”
