Luke 5
1 And when the people were pressing on Him to hear the word of God, as He stood by the lake of Gennesareth, seeing two vessels at the edge of the lake,
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 (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 He went into one of them, which was Simon's, and desired him to put off a little way from the shore: and He sat down and taught the multitudes from 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 And when He had done speaking, He said to Simon, Put 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 answered and said unto Him, Master, we have been toiling all the night, and have caught nothing; however at thy word I will cast 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 done this, they inclosed a multitude of fishes; and their net was breaking.
Wogada ɖɔ la ake ke azɔ la, woɖe lã ale gbegbe be woƒe ɖɔwo koe de asi vuvu me!
7 And they beckoned to their partners that were in the other ship, to come and help them; and they came, and filled both the ships, so that they were even sinking: and when Simon Peter saw it,
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 he fell at the knees of Jesus, saying, Lord, depart from me, for I am a sinful man;
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 fishes which they had taken;
Elabena lã geɖe si woɖe la wɔ nuku na Petro kple eƒe dɔwɔhatiwo.
10 as were also James and John, the sons of Zebedee, who were partners with Simon. And Jesus said to Simon, Be not afraid, from henceforth thou shalt be a captor of 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 left all and followed Him.
Esi wova ɖi go teti ko la, wogblẽ woƒe nuwo katã ɖe afi ma hedze Yesu yome.
12 And when He was in one of the cities of that country, behold a man full of leprosy: who seeing Jesus, fell prostrate to Him, and besought Him, saying, Lord, if thou wilt, thou canst cleanse me.
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 Jesus stretched out his hand and touched him, saying, I will; be thou cleansed: 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 one: but go, said He, 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 the fame of Him spread more and more, 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 But He frequently retired into solitary places, and prayed.
Gake zi geɖe la, edia ɣeyiɣi aɖe dona le wo dome dzaa yia gbedzi afi aɖe ɖadoa gbe ɖa.
17 And one day, as He was teaching, there were pharisees and doctors of the law sitting by, who were come out of every town of Galilee, and Judea, and from Jerusalem; and the power of the Lord was present to heal the people:
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, some men bringing on a couch a man that was paralytic; and they endeavoured to bring him in, and 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 but when they could not find what way to bring him in because of the croud, they went up on the battlements of the house, and let him down from the roof 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 who seeing their faith 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 pharisees began to cavil, saying, Who is this that talketh blasphemies? Who can forgive sins but God?
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 Jesus knowing their thoughts, answered and said unto them, What are ye disputing 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 Which is easier, to say, Thy sins are 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 even on earth to forgive sins, (He spake to the paralytic) I say unto thee, Arise, and take up thy couch, and go to 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, took up the bed on which he lay, and went away to his 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 glorified God, and were filled with awe, saying, we have seen wonderful 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 After these things He went out and saw a publican named Levi, sitting at the custom-house, and said to 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 number of publicans, and others at table 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 And their scribes and pharisees murmured at 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 answered and said unto them, They that are in health have no need of a physician, but they that are sick: I am not come to call the righteous,
Yesu ɖo eŋu na wo be, “Menye lãmesesẽtɔwoe hiã gbedala o, ke boŋ dɔnɔwoe.
32 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 frequently fast and pray, and likewise those 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 those of the bride-chamber 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 from them, then they will fast.
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 Then He spake a parable to them, That no one putteth a piece of new cloth upon an old garment: otherwise, the new maketh a rent, and doth not match 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 nor doth any one put new wine in to old vessels; otherwise, the new wine will burst the casks, and be spilled, and the vessels will be destroyed:
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 vessels, and then both are saved.
Ke boŋ lãgbalẽgolo yeye mee wòdze be woakɔ aha yeye ɖo.
39 And no one that has been drinking old wine, immediately 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.’”
