Luke 5
1 And it occurred, that a multitude gathered about him, to hear the word of God. And he was standing by the side of the sea of Gennesaret,
Otu oge, ka Jisọs guzo nʼakụkụ ọdọ mmiri Genesaret. Igwe mmadụ gbara ya gburugburu ka ha nụrụ okwu Chineke.
2 and he saw two ships standing near the sea, and the fishermen were 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 And one of them belonged to Simon Cephas: and Jesus entered and sat in it. And he told them to draw off a little from the shore, into the sea: and he seated himself, and taught the multitude from the ship.
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 And when he ceased from speaking, he said to Simon: Launch out into the deep, and cast your net for a draught.
Mgbe o kwusiri okwu, ọ gwara Saimọn sị, “Banyetụkwuo nʼime mmiri, tụnye ụgbụ gị ka i gbute azụ.”
5 Simon answered, and said to him: Rabbi, all the night we have toiled, and have caught nothing: but, at thy bidding, I will cast 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 And when they had done so, they inclosed very many fishes, so that the net was rent.
Mgbe ha mere nke a, ha gbutere ọtụtụ azụ nke mere na ụgbụ azụ ha malitere ịdọkasị.
7 And they made signs to their associates, in the other ship, to come and help them. And when they came, they filled both the ships, so that they were near to sinking.
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 And when Simon Cephas saw it, he fell before the feet of Jesus, and said to him: I beseech thee, my Lord, that thou leave me, for I am a sinful man.
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 astonishment had seized him, and all that were with him, at the draught of fishes 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 in like manner also James and John, the sons of Zebedee, who were partners of Simon. But Jesus said: Fear thou not; henceforth thou shalt catch men unto life.
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 And they brought the vessels to the land: and they left all and followed him.
Mgbe ha kwọpụtara ụgbọ mmiri ha nʼelu ala, ha hapụrụ ihe niile soro ya.
12 And when Jesus was in one of the cities, a man came all full of leprosy and seeing Jesus, he fell upon his face, and besought him, and said to him: My Lord, if thou wilt, thou canst cleanse me.
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 And Jesus put forth his hand, and touched him, and said to him: I will it; be thou clean. And immediately his leprosy went from him.
Jisọs setịpụrụ aka ya metụ ya sị, “Achọrọ m, bụrụ onye dị ọcha!” Ngwangwa ekpenta ahụ hapụrụ ya.
14 And he charged him: Speak to no one; but go and show thyself to the priests, and offer the oblation for thy purification, as Moses hath 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 And his fame spread abroad still more: and much people assembled to hear him, and to be cured of their diseases.
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 And he retired into a desert, and prayed.
Ma site nʼoge ruo nʼoge, Jisọs na-ewezuga onwe ya gaa nʼebe ọ ga-anọ naanị ya ikpe ekpere.
17 And it occurred, on one of the days when Jesus was teaching, that Pharisees and Doctors of the law were sitting by, who had come from all the villages of Galilee and of Judaea, and Jerusalem: and the power of the Lord was present 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 And some persons brought a paralytic man, on a couch, and sought to bring him in, and to place him before him.
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 And when they could not thus introduce him, because of the multitude of the people, they ascended to the roof, and let him down with the couch, from the covering, into the midst, 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 And when Jesus saw their faith, he said to the paralytic: Man, thy sins are forgiven thee.
Mgbe Jisọs hụrụ okwukwe ha, ọ sịrị, “Enyi m, a gbagharala gị mmehie gị.”
21 And the Scribes and Pharisees began to reason, and to say: Who is this that speaketh blasphemy? Who can forgive sins, but God only?
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 And Jesus knew their thoughts, and said to them: What think ye in your heart?
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 the easier, to say, Thy sins are forgiven thee, 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 ye may know, that the Son of man is competent to forgive sins on the earth, he said to the paralytic: I say to thee, Arise, take up thy couch, and go to thy home.
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 And instantly, he rose up before their eyes, and took up his couch, and went home, glorifying God.
Ngwangwa, o biliri ọtọ nʼihu mmadụ niile, chịrị ihe ndina ya bido na-eto Chineke na-ala nʼụlọ ya.
26 And astonishment seized every one; and they Praised God; and they were filled with awe, and said: We have seen wonders today.
Ihe ndị a juru onye ọbụla anya, ha tokwara Chineke. Oke egwu jupụtakwara ha nʼahụ, ha sịrị, “Anyị ahụla ihe ebube taa.”
27 And after these things, Jesus went out and saw a publican, named Levi, sitting among the publicans; and he said to him: Come after 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 And he left every thing, and arose, and went after him.
Ngwangwa, o biliri, hapụ ihe niile soro ya.
29 And Levi made a great entertainment for him at his house; and there was a numerous company of publicans and others who reclined with them.
Emesịa, Livayị kwadooro Jisọs oke oriri nʼụlọ ya, ọtụtụ igwe ndị ọna ụtụ na ndị ọzọ soo ha nʼoriri ahụ.
30 And the Scribes and Pharisees murmured, and said to his disciples: Why do ye eat and drink with publicans 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 And Jesus answered and said to them: A physician is not sought after for the well, but for those very sick.
Jisọs zara sị, “Mkpa dibịa adịghị akpa ndị ahụ dị ike, kama ọ bụ ndị ahụ na-esighị ike.
32 I came not to call the righteous, but sinners, to repentance.
Abịaghị m ịkpọ ndị ezi omume, kama abịara m ịkpọ ndị mmehie ka ha chegharịa.”
33 And they said to him: Why do the disciples of John fast often, and pray, and also those of the Pharisees; but thine 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 And he said to them: Ye cannot make the guests of the nuptial chamber 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 up from them, and then will they 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 And he spoke a similitude to them: No one teareth a patch from a new garment, and putteth it to an old garment; lest he tear the new, and the patch from the new cease to make the old garment whole.
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 And no one putteth new wine into old sacks; otherwise, the new wine will burst the sacks, and the wine will run out, and the sacks be ruined.
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 they put new wine into new sacks, and both are preserved.
Ma ọ dị mma ịgbanye mmanya ọhụrụ nʼime karama akpụkpọ ọhụrụ.
39 And no one drinketh old wine, and immediately calleth for new; for he saith, The old is the delicious.
O nweghị onye ṅụsịrị mmanya ochie ga-achọ ịṅụ mmanya ọhụrụ, nʼihi na ọ ga-asị, ‘Nke ochie ahụ ka mma.’”
