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].
Yabha amabongono bhasonshezya alitejelezye izu elya NGOLOBHE, omwahule ali ayemeleye panshenje eye eyi dimi lya Genezareti.
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.
Walola evyelelo vibhele vikheye panshenje eyi dimi. Lelo bhabhahwonza bhafumile bhahwozya enyavu zyabho.
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].
Winjila mshelelo shimo, esho shakwe oSimoni, wamwanza ashibhesha hutali hashe neshe. Wakhala wabhamanyinzya mambongano ohu alimshelelo.
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]!”
Hata nawamala ayanje, abholile oSimoni, “Isya mpaka pansi tee mwisye enyavuzyenyu mwonze esamaki.”
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.”
OSimoni wagalula wabhola, Gosi, tibhombile embombo eyalisye nosiku wonti setipete nkahamo, lelo hwizu lyaho ehwisya enyavu.
6 When Peter [and the men with him] had done that, they caught so many fish that their nets were breaking.
Basi nabhabhomba esho bhazyajile esamaki ziminji tee enyavu zyao zya hundile adumushe.
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.
Bhabhapunjila okhono amwabho bhali mshombo esha bhele. bhenze abhavwe bhenzu bhavimemya vyonti vibhele hata nyahandile andwine.
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!”
OSimoni oPetro, na walola ego, agwiye pamafugamo ga Yesuwanyanga sogala hwiline, “Afwatanaj, ane endi mntu uwembibhi GOSI.”
Afwanaje akhetwe nenswigo, umwahale nabhonti bhabhali pa ndwemo nawo kwa sababu eyewinji uwesamaki wabhazyajili.
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].”
Antele Yakobo no Yohana bha Zebedao, bhali pandwemo no Simoni. O Yesu wabhola Simoni, “ogaje hwogope, afume eshi obhabha wahwonza abhantu.”
11 So after they brought the boats to the shore, they left their business [HYP] [in the hands of others] and went with Jesus.
Hata nabhali bhavisagamishe pwani, evyelelo vyabho bhavileha vionti bhabhenjelela.
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!”
Yabha nahali humiongo ye maboma gala enya, palinomntu amemile ukoma, wape nawalola oYesu, agwiye dumbula walabha waga, GOSI,” nkohwanza owezizye anozye.”
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]!
Kisha Yesu alinyoosha mkono wake na kumugusa, akisema, “Nataka. Takasika.” Na saa ileile ukoma ukamwacha.
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].”
“Wakhana agaje hubhole omuntu, ila bhalaga ahwibhonesya hwa kohani, “ufumye, kwajili eya pone hwaho neshe oMusa shabhabholele ebhe ushuda, hwabhahale.”
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}.
Lelo enongwa zyakwa zyazida abwaje bhatangene amabongono aminji bhatejelezye na pone empungo zyabho.
16 But he often would go away from them to the desolate area and pray.
Ilelo omwahale ali ahwiyefwa wabhala pasepali bhantu walabha.
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,
Yabha isiku lila limo ali asambelezya na amafarisayo na amanyizi abhe ndongo bhali bhakheye epo, bhabhafumile kila shijiji eshe Galilaya na Yudea, na hu Yerusalemu. Na amaha aga GOSI wahali apate aponie.
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.
Na enya, bhenza abhantu bhanyatiye mshitanda omntu yapoozile, bhahanzaga hutwale mhati na hubheshe hwitagalila lyakwe.
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.
Hata nabhakosile enafsi eyahutwale mhati kwali eya mabungano ege bhantu bhazubhile hwigolo bhagefwa amatofali agapamwanya bhaswisya umwahale neshi tande shakwe pahati hwitagalila hwa Yesu.
20 When Jesus perceived that they believed that [he could heal the man], he said to him, “My friend, [I] forgive your sins!”
Wape nalolile olweteho lwabho abhhdde, “Ee rafiki, usajilwe embibhi zyaho.”
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!”
Basi bhala asimbi na Mafarisayo bhada ayangane, “Aje wenu ono yayanga amazu agalije? Wenu yagasajila embibhi aliyo NGOLOBHE mwene?”
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]:
Na o Yesu, omenye onongwa zyabho wabhagalula wabhabhole, mhwibhozya yenu lumoyo genu?
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].
Lyalili lyalolo lyalilihu, 'Aje usajilwe embibhi zyaho au aje sogola ubhale?'
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!’”
Lelo mpate amanye aje omwana wa Adamu anazyo endajizo pansi epa ezya sajile embibhi, abholele, 'Ola ya poozile sogolahwitweshe eshitanda shaho bhalaga akhaya yaho.'
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.
Shesho wemelela hwitagalila lyabho wahwitwehe shhila shagoneye wabhala akhaya yakwe ohwo wa mwembela ONGOLOBHE.
26 All the people [there] were amazed! They praised God and were completely awestruck. They kept saying, “We [(inc)] have seen wonderful things today!”
Wonti bhakhetwa na nswije bhateleye ONGOLOBHE. Bhamemele nowoga, bhayanga, “Sanyono tilolile amambo age ajabu.”
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]!”
Baada yego wafuma walola yasonjezya esonga, itawa lyakwe yolawi akheye forodhani, wabhola nbejezye.”
28 So Levi left his work [HYP] and went with Jesus.
Walehe vyonti wasogola wabheni ezya.
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.
Na Lawi wabhombela eshikurunkuru eshigosi mnyumba yakwe hwali abungono ogosi, owa sonjezye esonga na bhuntu abhamwabho bhali bhakheye pashalye pandwemo nawo.
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]
Yabha afarisayo na simbi bhabho bhabha bhabha una asambilizi wa bhakwe baje mbona mlyana mwele pandwemo nabhabhasonjezya esonga na bhubhali nembibhi?”
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].
OYesu agalula wabhabhola, “Bhabhali bhinza sebhani nehaja eyaponywe, ila bhala bhabhinile.
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].”
Senahenzele abhakwinzye abhelyoli bali bhahali nembibhi bhapato alambe.”
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]?”
Bhape bhabhola, “Asambelewa abha Yohana bhafunga maranyinji, na labhe eputo bhpe asambelewa abha Farisayo bhafunga. Lelo asambelewa bhaho bhalya nu mwele.”
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].
LelooYesu abhubholele, “Mwagaga mgabhabhambo aje bhafunje bhabha anilye huhweji wakati ahweli ogosi owehweji pandwemo nao?
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].”
Lelo ennsiku zihwenza nayepe ogosi owehweje epo pabha ifunga ensiku ezyo.”
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.
Wabhabhola eshilale. “Nomo yazembula shilakaeshi omwenda opya nabheshe mmwenda okolo na nkashile abheshele lila ipya. Na shila ishiraka sha omwenda opya, selilenganya na gula omwenda okolo.
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.
Wala, nomo omntu yaponya edivai empya katika evyelelo evikolo. Na nkashile waponya ela, edivai empya ebha vibazule vila evyenlelo, edivai enyahale ebhahwitishe na vyelelo nibhanachishe.
38 On the contrary, new wine must be put into new wineskins.
Lelo edivai epya uwinza uwaponye katika evye lelo evipya.
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!’”
Wala nomo yamwela edivai eyemwaha alafu ayisongwe epya, atafanaje ayanga ela eya mwaha, 'Yenyiza.”
