< Luke 5 >

1 AND it came to pass, that, as the people pressed upon him to hear the word of God, he stood by the lake of Gennesaret,
Gbe ɖeka esi Yesu le tsitre nɔ nu fiam le Genesaret ƒuta la, ameha gã aɖe va ƒo zi ɖe eŋu be yewoase Mawu ƒe nya la.
2 And saw two ships standing by the lake: but the fishermen were gone out of them, and were washing their nets.
Yesu kpɔ ʋu eve siwo me ame aɖeke menɔ o la le ta la to. Ɖɔkplɔlawo nɔ woƒe ɖɔwo kpalam le tsia me.
3 And he entered into one of the ships, which was Simon’s, and prayed him that he would thrust out a little from the land. And he sat down, and taught the people out of the ship.
Yesu yi ɖage ɖe ʋua ɖeka me, eye wògblɔ na Simɔn ame si tɔ nye ʋua be wòakui tso go ŋu ayi tsia dzi vie. Esi wòbɔbɔ nɔ eme la, efia nu ameha la tso afi ma.
4 Now when he had left speaking, he said unto Simon, Launch out into the deep, and let down your nets for a draught.
Esi wòwu nuƒoa nu la, egblɔ na Simɔn be, “Azɔ miyi tsia ƒe gogloa ƒe ke ne miada ɖɔ ɖe afi ma ekema miaɖe lã fũu.”
5 And Simon answering said unto him, Master, we have toiled all the night, and have taken nothing: nevertheless at thy word I will let down the net.
Simɔn ɖo eŋu nɛ be, “Amegã, egbe zã bliboa katã míeda ɖɔ ʋuu, gake míeɖe naneke o, gake esi nègblɔe ko la, míagada ɖɔ la.”
6 And when they had this done, they inclosed a great multitude of fishes: and their net brake.
Wogada ɖɔ la ake ke azɔ la, woɖe lã ale gbegbe be woƒe ɖɔwo koe de asi vuvu me!
7 And they beckoned unto their partners, which were in the other ship, that they should come and help them. And they came, and filled both the ships, so that they began to sink.
Ale Simɔn kple nɔvia wodo ɣli yɔ wo nɔvi siwo nɔ ʋu bubu me le tsia dzi la be woava kpe ɖe yewo ŋu. Woɖe lã fũu wòyɔ ʋu eveawo ale gbegbe be ʋuawo di be yewoanyrɔ gɔ̃ hã.
8 When Simon Peter saw it, he fell down at Jesus’ knees, saying, Depart from me; for I am a sinful man, O Lord.
Simɔn Petro kpɔ nu si va dzɔ la, eya ta wòdze klo ɖe Yesu kɔme hegblɔ be, “O, Aƒetɔ, meɖe kuku dzo le mía gbɔ, elabena nye nu vɔ̃wo sɔ gbɔ ŋutɔ, eye nyemedze be mate ɖe ŋuwò o.”
9 For he was astonished, and all that were with him, at the draught of the fishes which they had taken:
Elabena lã geɖe si woɖe la wɔ nuku na Petro kple eƒe dɔwɔhatiwo.
10 And so was also James, and John, the sons of Zebedee, which were partners with Simon. And Jesus said unto Simon, Fear not; from henceforth thou shalt catch men.
Nenema kee nye Yakobo kple Yohanes ame siwo nye Zebedeo viwo, eye woganye Simɔn ƒe dɔwɔhatiwo hã. Yesu gblɔ na wo be, “Migavɔ̃ o. Tso azɔ dzi heyina la, miazu amewo ɖelawo!”
11 And when they had brought their ships to land, they forsook all, and followed him.
Esi wova ɖi go teti ko la, wogblẽ woƒe nuwo katã ɖe afi ma hedze Yesu yome.
12 And it came to pass, when he was in a certain city, behold a man full of leprosy: who seeing Jesus fell on his face, and besought him, saying, Lord, if thou wilt, thou canst make me clean.
Gbe ɖeka la, Yesu kpɔ kpodɔléla aɖe le kɔƒe aɖe si me wòɖi tsa de la me. Esi kpodɔléla la kpɔ Yesu ko la, edze klo tsyɔ̃ mo anyi heɖe kuku nɛ vevie be wòada gbe le ye ŋu. Egblɔ be, “Aƒetɔ, ne èlɔ̃ la, na be ŋutinye nakɔ.”
13 And he put forth his hand, and touched him, saying, I will: be thou clean. And immediately the leprosy departed from him.
Yesu ka asi ŋutsua hegblɔ be, “Mèlɔ̃, ŋutiwò nekɔ!” Ŋutsua ŋuti kɔ enumake, eye dɔ la vɔ le eŋu.
14 And he charged him to tell no man: but go, and shew thyself to the priest, and offer for thy cleansing, according as Moses commanded, for a testimony unto them.
Azɔ Yesu de se nɛ be, “Mègagblɔ nu sia na ame aɖeke o, ke boŋ yi nàtsɔ ɖokuiwò fia nunɔla la, eye nàna vɔsanu siwo Mose ɖo ɖi na ameŋukɔkɔ abe ɖaseɖiɖi na wo ene.”
15 But so much the more went there a fame abroad of him: and great multitudes came together to hear, and to be healed by him of their infirmities.
Nya sia kaka ɖe teƒe geɖewo xoxo, eye ame geɖewo ŋutɔ ƒo zi ɖe eŋu be yewoase eƒe mawunya, eye wòada gbe hã le yewo ŋu.
16 And he withdrew himself into the wilderness, and prayed.
Gake zi geɖe la, edia ɣeyiɣi aɖe dona le wo dome dzaa yia gbedzi afi aɖe ɖadoa gbe ɖa.
17 And it came to pass on a certain day, as he was teaching, that there were Pharisees and doctors of the law sitting by, which were come out of every town of Galilee, and Judæa, and Jerusalem: and the power of the Lord was present to heal them.
Gbe ɖeka esi Yesu nɔ nu fiam la, Farisitɔwo kple sefialawo va teƒea va nɔ to ɖomii. Ame siawo tso du siwo katã le Galilea, Yudea kple Yerusalem la me. Aƒetɔ la ƒe dɔyɔŋusẽ va edzi be wòada gbe le wo ŋu.
18 And, behold, men brought in a bed a man which was taken with a palsy: and they sought means to bring him in, and to lay him before him.
Kasia, ame aɖewoe nye esiwo kɔ lãmetututɔ aɖe ɖe aba dzi va doe. Wodze agbagba ɖe sia ɖe be yewoato ameha la dome akɔe yi Yesu gbɔe,
19 And when they could not find by what way they might bring him in because of the multitude, they went upon the housetop, and let him down through the tiling with his couch into the midst before Jesus.
gake womete ŋui o le amewo ƒe agbɔsɔsɔ ta. Le esia ta wolia xɔa, eye woɖe do ɖe etame, heɖiɖi lãmetututɔ la kple eƒe aba ɖe Yesu kɔme tututu.
20 And when he saw their faith, he said unto him, Man, thy sins are forgiven thee.
Esi Yesu kpɔ woƒe xɔse la, egblɔ na dɔnɔa be, “Ŋutsu, wotsɔ wò nu vɔ̃wo ke wò.”
21 And the scribes and the Pharisees began to reason, saying, Who is this which speaketh blasphemies? Who can forgive sins, but God alone?
Farisitɔwo kple agbalẽfiala siwo nɔ ameawo dome la bia wo nɔewo be, “Ame ka ƒomevi tututu ame sia buna be yenye? Egblɔ busunya! Elabena ame kae ate ŋu atsɔ nu vɔ̃ ake tsɔ wu Mawu?”
22 But when Jesus perceived their thoughts, he answering said unto them, What reason ye in your hearts?
Yesu nya nu si ŋu bum wonɔ, eya ta eɖo ŋu na wo be, “Aleke wɔ nuwɔna sia ɖe fu na miaƒe susuwo alea?
23 Whether is easier, to say, Thy sins be forgiven thee; or to say, Rise up and walk?
Kae bɔbɔ wu, be woagblɔ na ame sia be, ‘Wotsɔ wò nu vɔ̃wo ke wò’ alo woagblɔ nɛ be, ‘Tso, nàzɔ azɔli mahã’?
24 But that ye may know that the Son of man hath power upon earth to forgive sins, (he said unto the sick of the palsy, ) I say unto thee, Arise, and take up thy couch, and go into thine house.
Ke ne mianyae bena ŋusẽ le Amegbetɔ Vi la si be wòatsɔ nu vɔ̃ ake le anyigba dzi.” Ale wògblɔ na lãmetututɔ la be, “Tsi tsitre nàŋlɔ wò aba nàyi aƒe me.”
25 And immediately he rose up before them, and took up that whereon he lay, and departed to his own house, glorifying God.
Ame sia ame ke ŋku ɖi be yeakpɔ nu, kasia, ŋutsua tsi tsitre ɖe eƒe afɔ eveawo dzi, ŋlɔ eƒe aba, eye wòɖo ta aƒe me henɔ Mawu kafum bobobo.
26 And they were all amazed, and they glorified God, and were filled with fear, saying, We have seen strange things to day.
Ame siwo katã nɔ afi ma la ƒe mo wɔ yaa eye vɔvɔ̃ ɖo wo, wokafu Mawu nɔ gbɔgblɔm be, “Míekpɔ nu madzɔkpɔ aɖe egbe.”
27 And after these things he went forth, and saw a publican, named Levi, sitting at the receipt of custom: and he said unto him, Follow me.
Esi Yesu dzo le du sia me yina la, ekpɔ dugadzɔla aɖe si ame sia ame nya nyuie le eƒe amebaba ta. Dugadzɔla sia ŋkɔe nye Levi eye wònɔ anyi ɖe dugadzɔƒe. Yesu gblɔ nɛ be, “Va dze yonyeme ne nàzu nye nusrɔ̃lawo dometɔ ɖeka.”
28 And he left all, rose up, and followed him.
Ale Levi gblẽ nu sia nu ɖi, eye wòtso enumake hedze eyome.
29 And Levi made him a great feast in his own house: and there was a great company of publicans and of others that sat down with them.
Eteƒe medidi o, Levi ɖo kplɔ̃ na Yesu, eye wòkpe etɔ nudzɔla bubuwo hã ɖe kplɔ̃ sia ŋu le eƒe aƒe me.
30 But their scribes and Pharisees murmured against his disciples, saying, Why do ye eat and drink with publicans and sinners?
Farisitɔwo kple agbalẽfialawo kpɔ kpɔtsotso le Yesu ƒe nuwɔna sia ŋu, eye wohe nya kple eƒe nusrɔ̃lawo vevie be Yesu ɖua nu henoa nu kple dugadzɔlawo kple nu vɔ̃ wɔlawo.
31 And Jesus answering said unto them, They that are whole need not a physician; but they that are sick.
Yesu ɖo eŋu na wo be, “Menye lãmesesẽtɔwoe hiã gbedala o, ke boŋ dɔnɔwoe.
32 I came not to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.
Menye ame dzɔdzɔewo ta meva ɖo o, ke boŋ nu vɔ̃ wɔlawo ko, hena dzimetɔtrɔ.”
33 And they said unto him, Why do the disciples of John fast often, and make prayers, and likewise the disciples of the Pharisees; but thine eat and drink?
Ameawo gayi edzi bia Yesu be nu ka tae eƒe nusrɔ̃lawo metsia nu dɔna hedoa gbe ɖa abe ale si Yohanes ƒe nusrɔ̃lawo kple Farisitɔwo wɔnɛ ene o, ke boŋ eƒe nusrɔ̃lawo ya la nuɖuɖu kple nunono dzi ko wonɔna gbe sia gbe hã.
34 And he said unto them, Can ye make the children of the bridechamber fast, while the bridegroom is with them?
Ke Yesu bia wo be, “Ne wokpe amewo be woava do dzidzɔ ɖe srɔ̃ɖelawo ŋu ɖe, ɖe amekpekpe siawo agbe nuɖuɖu le esime srɔ̃tɔ la ŋutɔ li kpli wo mahã?
35 But the days will come, when the bridegroom shall be taken away from them, and then shall they fast in those days.
Gake ɣeyiɣi li gbɔna esi woava kplɔ srɔ̃tɔ la adzoe le ameawo gbɔ, eye ne edzɔ alea la, woatsi nu dɔ le ɣeyiɣi ma me.”
36 And he spake also a parable unto them; No man putteth a piece of a new garment upon an old; if otherwise, then both the new maketh a rent, and the piece that was taken out of the new agreeth not with the old.
Azɔ Yesu do lo sia na wo be, “Ame aɖeke metsɔa avɔnuɖeɖi yeye kaa avɔ xoxo si vuvu lae o. Ne wotsɔ avɔnuɖeɖi yeye ka avɔ xoxo si vuvu la, menya kpɔna o; gawu la, enana be avɔa ƒe teƒe si woka la gavuvuna ɖe edzi wu tsã.
37 And no man putteth new wine into old bottles; else the new wine will burst the bottles, and be spilled, and the bottles shall perish.
Nenema ke womekɔa aha yeye ɖe lãgbalẽgolo xoxo me o; ne wowɔ esia la, aha yeye la ƒe ŋusẽ ana be lãgbalẽgolo xoxo la awo, eye aha la katã akɔ ɖe anyigba.
38 But new wine must be put into new bottles; and both are preserved.
Ke boŋ lãgbalẽgolo yeye mee wòdze be woakɔ aha yeye ɖo.
39 No man also having drunk old wine straightway desireth new: for he saith, The old is better.
Nenema kee ame aɖeke menoa aha tsitsi vɔ teti ko ganoa yeyetɔ tɔtɔnɛ o, elabena wogblɔna godoo be, ‘Mɔ xoxotɔwo nyo wu.’”
