Luqaassa 5
1 Yesussay Gensereexxe abba lanqqen eqqidi Xoossa qaala tamaarisishin siiyiza asay iza kuni7isides.
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].
2 He wode nam77u wogoloti abba achchan dishin Yesussay be7ides. mole oykizayti wogolotappe wodhdhidi mole gitista meeceetes.
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.
3 Yesussay wogolotappe Simoona wogolon gelidi biittafe gede abba gido shishanna mala oychidinne wogolo giddon uttidi asa tamaarsides.
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].
4 Tamaarsidi wursidape guye Simoona abbay ciimmatizaso shiiqqa mole oykanas inte giteza abba gido yegite gides.
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]!”
5 Simoonay Yesussas zaaridi Godo qamma kumeth daaburi aqqiddi issinokka oykibeyko, gidoattin ne qaalan giteza yegana gides.
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.”
6 Yegida wode daro mole oykida. Giteyka daakettides.
When Peter [and the men with him] had done that, they caught so many fish that their nets were breaking.
7 Hara wogolon dizayti yiidi ista maaddana mala kushera wuti xeygida. Istika yiidi nam77u wogolota mole kunthida. Wogolotika duge miteteth oykida.
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.
8 Simoona geettetiza Phexiroossay hessa beyidi Yesussa gulbate bolla kundidi Godo ta nagarancha gidida gish ta achchafe kichcha gides.
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!”
9 Izi hessa giday izine izara dizayti oykida daro molezan malalettida gishassa.
10 Qassekka Simoona laggeti zabidoosa nayti Yaqobeyne Yanisayka wuri malalettida. Yesussaykka Simoona babofa hayssafe guye ne asa oykizadde gidana gides.
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].”
11 Istika wogolota biittako shiishshidi wursikka yegi7agidi Yesussa kaallida.
So after they brought the boats to the shore, they left their business [HYP] [in the hands of others] and went with Jesus.
12 Yesussay katamatappe issineyin dishin inchirachcha harggey bolla wursi oykida issi asi he kataman dees. He urayka Yesussa beyidi iza sinthan kundidi “Godo ne koyko tana pathana danda7asa” giidi woossides.
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!”
13 Yesussay ba kushe yedi bochchidi “ta dossadis paxa” gides. inchirachchay heeraka dhaydes.
[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]!
14 Yesussay izas “hayssa oonaskka yootoppa, gido attin baada nena qeese halaqas bessa istas marka gidana mala ne geeyidayssas Musey azazida yarshoza shiishsha” giidi azazides.
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].”
15 Gido attin iza gish asay haasa7iza worey kaseppe aakki aakki biddes. Keehi daro asay iza haasa7a siyanasinne bena sakiza harggefe paxanas izako shiiqidees.
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}.
16 Yesussay daro wode asi bayndda poqqethaso biidi woossides.
But he often would go away from them to the desolate area and pray.
17 Yesussay tamaarsishin asay Galilappenne Yihudappe qassekka Yerusalemeppe yida Farsawetinne woga tamaarisizayti heen uttida. Izi pathana mala Goda wolqay izara dees.
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,
18 He wode asay issi kumetha bollay silidi qaaxonta harggancha zaphara tooki ekki yiidi keethe gelthidi Yesussa sinthan wothanas paacida.
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.
19 Asa darotethafe dendidaysani keethe gelthanas xoonetida gish pude keeththa kaara bolla kezidinne kaara lukidi harggancha zaphara tooki ehidi asa giddora Yesussa sinthan wothida.
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.
20 Yesussay ista amano beyidi hayso ne ne nagarappe maaristadasa gides.
When Jesus perceived that they believed that [he could heal the man], he said to him, “My friend, [I] forgive your sins!”
21 Muse woga xaafizaytine Farsaweti haysi Xoossa bolla xallatethan hayssatho haasa7izay izi oonee? Issi Xoossafe attin nagara maaranaas ooni danda7ize giidi qoppida.
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!”
22 Yesussay ista qofa erida gish “inte inte wozinan ays hessaththo qoppeti?” gides.
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]:
23 Neni nagarappe maaristadasa gusafenne dendada ba gusafe awayssi kawishee?
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].
24 Gido attin ta hayssa giday asa naas biitta bolla asa nagarappe maaranaas Godatethi dizaysa inte erana mala. Qassekka he sila ura “nena gays! eqqa dendada ne zapha tookada baa” gides.
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!’”
25 Izi heeraka ista sinthan dendi eqqides. Kase ba zin7ida zapha tookidi Xoossa galatishe beso bides.
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.
26 He wode asi wuri malalettides. Xoossa galatishe hach malalisizaz be7ides giidi daro babida.
All the people [there] were amazed! They praised God and were completely awestruck. They kept saying, “We [(inc)] have seen wonderful things today!”
27 Hessafe guye Yesussay heeppe kezi bides. Lewe giza issi qaraxa qanxisizaysi qaraxa qanxizason uttidaysa beyidi tana kaalla gides.
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]!”
28 Izika wursi aggidi iza kaallides.
So Levi left his work [HYP] and went with Jesus.
29 Leweyka Yesussassi ba keeththan gita diggisa diggisides. Qaraxa shiishiza daro asattinne hara asatikka istara issife maaddan uttida.
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.
30 Farsawetinne ista Xaafeti qaraxa shiishshizaytarane nagaranchatara issife aazas meeti giidi Yesussa kaallizayta bolla zigirettida.
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]
31 Yesussaykka istas hargganchatas attin paxa asas aakkime koshshenna gides.
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].
32 Taka nagaranchata maaretethako zaranaas attin xillota xeyganas yabeykke gides.
[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].”
33 Istika zaaridi Yanisa kaallizayti daro wode xoometesinne woosetes Farsawista kaallizaytikka izathokka oothetes. Nena kaallizayti gidikko wurso wode meettesinne uyettes gida.
[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]?”
34 Yesussaykka istas zaaridi mishray issife dishin diggissasi xeeysettidayta xoomisanaas bessizze? gides.
[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].
35 Gido attin mishray istafe shaakistana wodey yaana isti he wode xoomana.
[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].”
36 Istas oorath mayoppe qanxi ekkidi gal77a mayo bolla wothi sikizaaddey deenna wothi sikkikko oorathazi gal77ara gaaggonta gish gal77aza daakkana gides.
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.
37 Woyneppe othetida oorath cajje gal77a ogoron kunthidi wothiza asi oonikka baawa wothiza gidikko woyneppe oothettida ooratha cajjey gal77aza daakana. Woyne cajjezikka biittan gukkana gal7a ogoroy sinthafe go7ontaz gidana.
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.
38 Hessa gish ooratha woyne ushy ooratha ogoron gujjistanas besses.
On the contrary, new wine must be put into new wineskins.
39 Histikko caalla woyne ush uyidaappe guye caalontazi uyana koyizay ooninne deenna gaasoyka caallay lo7o giza gish.
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!’”
