Luke 5
1 One day while many people were crowding around him to hear the message from God, Jesus was standing on the shore of Gennesaret Lake, [which is also called Lake Galilee].
Ni khat Jesus sia Gennesaret tuihui ah a din laitak in, Pathian thu a hil nate ngai nuam in mite in ama phul ngawp uh hi.
2 He saw two [fishing] boats at the edge of the lake. The fishermen had gone out of the boats and were washing their [fishing] nets [on the shore]. One of the boats belonged to Simon.
Taciang Jesus in tuihui ah ngunkuang ni a tawlnga mu hi: ahihang ngasa man te ngunkuang sung pan tuak a, a ngen te sawp uh hi.
3 Jesus got in that boat and asked Simon to push the boat a little bit away from the shore [so that he could speak to the crowd more easily. Jesus] sat in the boat and taught the people [who were on the shore].
Jesus ngunkuang khatsung ah tum a, ta sia Simon ngunkuang a hihi, tuihui pan in a khuala zawhiat na ah khin tu in ngen hi. Tua ngunkuang sung ah Jesus to in, mipi te thuhil hi.
4 After he finished speaking [to them], he said to Simon, “Push the boat out to where the water is deep. Then let your nets down [into the water] to catch [some fish]!”
Thuhil a man ciang in, Simon kung ah, Tui thukna mun sang ah na ngunkuang khin in a, na ngen uh pai vun, ci hi.
5 Simon replied, “Master, we [(exc)] worked hard all night but we did not catch any [fish]. But because you [(sg)] tell me to do it, I will let down the nets.”
Simon in, Topa awng, zan khuateak hanciam zo ka hi uh hang, bangma nga ngawl khu hi, ahizong na thu bang in ngen pai tu khi hi, ci in zo hi.
6 When Peter [and the men with him] had done that, they caught so many fish that their nets were breaking.
Ngen a pai uh ciang in, ngasa tam mama awk a, a ngen uh ek hi.
7 They motioned to their partners in the other boat to come and help them. So they came and filled both the boats [with fish from the net]. The result was that the boats were so full that they began to sink.
Tasiaciang in ngunkuang dang ah a om a lawmte pai in a hu natu in khutphet uh hi. Amate hongpai uh a, ngunkuang ni sung ah ngasa dim ahikom, ngungkuang tuisung tum dektak hi.
8 Simon and all the men who were with him were amazed at how many fish they had taken. James and John, the two sons of Zebedee, who were Simon’s partners, were among those who were amazed. When Simon, [whose other name was] Peter, saw [the fish, feeling ashamed to be in the presence of someone who obviously had God’s power], he prostrated himself before Jesus and said, “Lord, you should go away from me, because I am a sinful man!”
Tua thu Simon Peter in a mu ciang in, Jesus khup nuai ah bok a, Topa, ka kung pan kiheam in; banghangziam cile keima in mawnei ka hihi, ci hi.
Banghangziam cile Ama le a kung a, a om te in, ngasa tam mama a mat uh hu in lamdangsa mama uh hi.
10 But Jesus said to Simon, “Do not be afraid! [Up until now you(sg) have been gathering fish] [MET], but from now on you will gather people [to become my disciples].”
Tasia bangma in ama taw ngasa a man Zebedee tapa James le John zong in lamdangsa mama uh hi. Jesus in Simon tung ah, Lau heak in; tu pan kipan in mihing man tu ni hi, ci hi.
11 So after they brought the boats to the shore, they left their business [HYP] [in the hands of others] and went with Jesus.
A ngunkuang te tuihui ah a koi zawk uh ciang in, na theampo nusia in Jesus zui uh hi.
12 While [Jesus] was in one of the cities [there in the district of Galilee], there was a man there who was very severely affected by leprosy. When he saw Jesus, he prostrated himself before him and, [wanting Jesus to heal him], pleaded with him, “Lord/Sir, [please heal me, because] you are able to heal me if you are willing to!”
Khatvei Jesus miphak khat omna khuapi khat ah theng hi, tua pa in Jesus a mu ciang in a mai ah bok a, Topa awng, uk po le te hong thiangsak thei ni hi, ci in thum hi.
13 [Then Jesus, disregarding the religious law that forbade people to come close to lepers], reached out his hand and touched the man. He said, “I am willing [to heal you]; and I heal you now!” Immediately the man [was healed]. He was no longer a leper [PRS]!
Jesus in a khut zan a, a tham zawkciang, Uk khi hi, dam in, ci hi. Tasia pociang a phak natna in ama taisan hi.
14 Then Jesus told him, “Make sure that you do not report [your healing immediately. First, go to a priest in Jerusalem] and show yourself to him [so that he can examine you and verify that you no longer have leprosy]. After the priest tells [the local people], they will know that [you have been healed, and you will be able to associate with them again]. Also take to the priest [the offering] that Moses commanded [that people who have been healed from leprosy should offer].”
Jesus in kuama son heak in ci vaitha hi: Ahihang pai tan a, nangma le nangma thiampi te kung ah ki lak in, taciang Moses thupiak bang in thianthona biakpiakna pia in, banghangziam cile amate tung ah na thiantho na tetti hi tu hi, ci hi.
15 But many people heard the man’s report of what [Jesus had done]. The result was that large crowds came to Jesus to hear his [message] and to be healed of their sicknesses {so that he would heal their sicknesses}.
Ahihang Jesus thu sia muntheampo ah kizel a: mihon tampi te a thu ngai tu le natna damsak nuam in hongpai hon uh hi.
16 But he often would go away from them to the desolate area and pray.
Taciang mipi te kung pan in duisung ah pai a, ama nguak thungen hi.
17 One day when [Jesus] was teaching, some men from the Pharisee [sect] were sitting there. Some of them were men who taught the [Jewish] laws. They had come from many [HYP] villages in Galilee [district] and also from Jerusalem and from [other] villages in Judea [district]. [At that time while] God was giving Jesus power to heal people,
Ni khat, Jesus in thu a hil laitak in, Jerusalem, Judah le Galilee ngamsung khua tatuam pan hongpai Pharisee le thukhamhil te zong to uh hi: cina damsak thei na vangletna sia Topa tung ah om hi.
18 several men brought on a sleeping pad a man who was paralyzed. They wanted to bring him into [the house] and lay him in front of Jesus.
En vun, pumzaw khat sia a lupna taw zawng uh a, Jesus mai ah sial tu in, innsung ah tumpui sawm hi.
19 But there was no way to do that because of the large crowd of people, so they went up [the steps] onto the roof. They tied ropes onto the sleeping pad and, after [removing some of] the tiles on the roof, they lowered the man [on] the sleeping pad. They lowered him through the opening into the midst of the crowd in front of Jesus.
Ahihang mihonpi te hang in a tum natu lampi a mu zawk ngawl uh ciang, inntung ah kato uh a, a khuhum hawk in mipi te laizang Jesus mai ah a lupna taw cinapa khiasuk uh hi.
20 When Jesus perceived that they believed that [he could heal the man], he said to him, “My friend, [I] forgive your sins!”
Jesus in amate upna a mu ciang in, Pasal pa, na mawna te ki maisak zo hi, ci hi.
21 The men who taught the [Jewish] laws and the rest of the Pharisees began to think within themselves, “Who does this man [think he is, saying] that? He is insulting God! (Nobody can forgive sins!/What person can forgive sins?) [RHQ] Only God can do that!”
Thukhamhil te le Pharisee te in, Pathian mindaisak in a pau sia a kua ziam? A kua in mawna te maisak thei ziam, Pathian bek hi ngawl ziam? ci in ngaisun uh hi.
22 Jesus perceived what they were thinking. So he said to them, “(You should not think that way [about what I said]!/Why do you question within yourselves [about what I said]?) [RHQ] [Consider this]:
Ahihang Jesus in amate ngaisutna a heak ciang in, amate tung ah, Na thinsung uh ah bang ngaisun nu ziam?
23 It would [not] be risky [for someone] to say [to this man], ‘[I] forgive your sins,’ [because no one could see whether or not his sins were really forgiven. But no one] [RHQ], [without having the power to heal], would say to [him], ‘Get up and walk!’ [because people could easily see whether he was healed or not].
Na mawna te ki maisak zo hi; ci le, ding in a, lampai in, ci koisia ol zaw ziam?
24 But [as a result of my healing this man] you [(pl)] will know that [God] has authorized [me], the one who came from heaven, to forgive the sins [of people while I am on] the earth, [as well as to heal people].” Then he said to the man who was paralyzed, “To you I say, ‘Get up, pick up your sleeping pad, and go home!’”
Ahihang mihing Tapa in leitung ah mawna te maisak tu in vangletna nei hi, ci na heak natu uh in, (cina pa tung ah ci hi) Keima in kong ci hi, tho in a, na lupna la in, na inn ah cia in, ci hi.
25 Immediately the man [was healed]. He stood up in front of them. He picked up the [sleeping pad] on which he had been lying, and went home, praising God.
Thakhatthu in pumzaw pa amate mai ah ding to a, a lupna la in, Pathian pok kawm, a inn ah cia hi.
26 All the people [there] were amazed! They praised God and were completely awestruck. They kept saying, “We [(inc)] have seen wonderful things today!”
Amate theampo in lamdangsa uh a, Pathian pok uh hi, taciang patau na taw dim uh a, tuni na lamdang mama i mu zo hi, ci uh hi.
27 Then [Jesus] left [the town] and saw a man who collected taxes [for the Roman government]. His name was Levi. He was sitting in the booth where he collected the taxes. Jesus said to him, “Come with me [and become my disciple]!”
Tua zawkciang in, Jesus pusuak a, Levi a kici siadong khat, a zumsung ah a to mu hi: taciang Jesus in ama kung ah, Hong zui tan, ci hi.
28 So Levi left his work [HYP] and went with Jesus.
Levi hong ding a, na theampo nusia in Jesus zui hi.
29 Afterwards, Levi prepared a big feast in his own house [for Jesus and his disciples]. There was a large group of tax collectors and others eating together with them.
Taciang Levi in a inn ah Jesus atu in poai lian mama khat vawtsak a: siadong te le midang tampi taw tokhawm tek uh hi.
30 The men who were there who taught the [Jewish] laws, ones who belonged to the Pharisee [sect], complained to Jesus’ disciples, saying, “([It is disgusting that] you are eating with tax collectors and [others who we(exc) consider to be] sinners!/Why are you eating with tax collectors [and others who we(exc) consider to be] sinners?)” [RHQ]
Ahihang amate i thukhamhil te le Pharisee te in a nungzui te tung ah phun uh a, banghang in siadong te le mawnei te taw ne khawm dawn khawm nu ziam? ci uh hi.
31 Then, [to indicate that it was those who knew that they had sinned who were coming to him for help], Jesus said to them, “[It is] people who are sick who need a doctor, not those who are well [MET].
Jesu in amate zo kik a, Cidam te in syavuan kul ngawl a; cina te bek in kul hi.
32 [Similarly], I did not come [from heaven] to invite [those who think they are] righteous [to come to me]. On the contrary, [I came to invite those who know that they are] sinners to turn from their sinful behavior [and come to me].”
Mi pha te sam tu in hongpai ngawl khi hi, ahihang mawnei te a mawna ki sikkik natu in hongpai khi hi, ci hi.
33 [Those Jewish leaders] said to Jesus, “The disciples of John [the Baptizer] often abstain from food [to show that they want to please God], and the disciples of the Pharisees do that, too. But your disciples keep on eating and drinking! [Why do not they fast like the others]?”
Amate in, John nungzui te le Pharisee te nungzui te antang in thungen tawntung uh hi; ahihang banghang in na nungzui te ne le dawn in om uh ziam? ci in dong hi.
34 [To show them that it was not appropriate for his disciples to be sad and abstain from food while he was still with them] [MET], Jesus said to them, “When (the bridegroom/man who is getting married) is with [his friends at the time of the wedding], you certainly do not make his friends abstain from food, do you [RHQ]? [No, you do not do that].
Jesus in amate tung ah, Mopoai vawt te in mopa amate te taw a om laiteng antangsak thei tu ni ziam?
35 [But] some day he will be taken away {[his enemies] will take him away} from them. Then, at that time, his friends will abstain from food, [because they will be sad].”
Ahihang mopa sia amate kung pan in mundang ah a paipui hun hong theng tu hi, tasiaciang amate zong antang kik tu uh hi, ci hi.
36 Then Jesus told them two parables [to show them that those who desire to live according to God’s new message should not be forced to obey the old religious traditions like] ([fasting/abstaining from food]), [and that those who know only the old traditions are not eager to accept new ones] [MET]. He said, “People never tear a piece of cloth from a new garment and attach it to an old garment [to mend it]. If they did that, not only would they be ruining the new garment by tearing it, but the new piece of cloth would not match the old garment.
Jesus in amate tung ah sontena khat son a; Puan lui sia puan thak taw kuama in phaw ngei ngawl hi; tabang hile puanthak in puan lui sia kaikin tu a, puan lui tung ah a bel ciang in puan thak taw kizawp thei ngawl tu hi.
37 Neither does anyone put freshly-[squeezed] grape juice into old skin bags [to store it]. If anyone did that, the grape juice would burst the skin bags [because they would not stretch when the] new [wine ferments and expands. Then] the skin bags would be ruined, and [the wine] would [also] be spilled.
Savun um lui sung ah kuama in sapittui thak thun ngei ngawl hi; a thun le sapittui thak in savun um puakthamsak tu a, sapittui bua siat in, savun um zong laltham tu hi.
38 On the contrary, new wine must be put into new wineskins.
Ahihang sapittui thak sia savun um a thak sung ah thun kul hamtang hi; taciang a ni in pha khawm tu hi.
39 Furthermore, those who have drunk [only] old wine [are content with that]. They do not want to drink the new wine, because they say, ‘The old wine is [MET] fine!’”
Kuama in sapittui lui a dawn zawk uh ciang, sapittui thak dawn kik nuam pai ngawl uh hi: banghangziam cile a lui sia phazaw hi, ci hi.
