Luuqaasa 5
1 Issi gallas Yesuusi Gensareexe Abbaa matan eqqidashin daro asay iya yuushuwa un77ethidi, I tamaarssiya Xoossaa qaala si7oosona.
One day, as Jesus was standing beside the Sea of Galilee, people crowded around him to hear the word of God.
2 Yan nam77u wogolota haatha gaxan de7eyssata be7is. Molo oykkiya asati wogolotappe wodhdhidi bantta gitiya meeccosona.
Jesus noticed two boats lying on the shore, left there by fishermen who were washing their nets.
3 He wogolotappe Simoonayssan gelidi biittaafe guuthi giddo shiishana mela oychchis. Yaatidi, he wogoluwa bolla uttidi asaa tamaarssis.
Jesus got into a boat, the one that belonged to Simon, and asked him to push it out into the water, just offshore. Then Jesus sat down in the boat and taught the people from there.
4 Ba tamaarssuwa onggidaappe guye Simoonakko, “Gede ciimmuwako shiishada moluwa oykkanaw hintte gitiya yeggite” yaagis.
After he'd finished speaking, he told Simon, “Go out into deeper water, and let down your nets for a catch.”
5 Simooni zaaridi, “Asttamaariyaw, qamma kumethaa daaburishe aqidi aykkoka oykkibookko, shin ne giikko gitiya yeggana” yaagis.
“Lord, we worked hard all night, and didn't catch anything. But if you say so, I'll let down the nets,” Simon replied.
6 Entti gitiya yeggida wode gitey daakettana gakkanaw daro molo oykkidosona.
Having done this, a large shoal of fish filled the nets full to breaking point.
7 Hara wogoluwan de7iya bantta laggeti yidi, banttana maaddana mela wuttidi xeegidosona. Entti yidi nam77u wogolota, haathan mitettana gakkanaw molon kunthidosona.
They waved to their partners in the other boat, asking them to come over and help. The others came over and together they filled both of the boats with fish. The boats were so full that they began to sink.
8 Simoona Phexiroosi hessa be7ida wode Yesuusa sinthan kunddidi, “Godaw, taani nagaranchcho asi gidiya gisho, taappe shaaketta” yaagis.
When Simon Peter saw what had happened, he dropped to his knees before Jesus. “Lord, please stay away from me, for I am a sinful man!” he exclaimed.
9 Hessa I giday inne iyara de7eyssati oykkida moluwa darotethan malaalettida gishossa.
For he and everybody with him were completely amazed by the catch of fish that they had landed.
10 Qassi Simoona lagge gidida Zabdiyoosa nayti Yayqoobaranne Yohaannisara malaalettidosona. Yesuusi Simoonakko, “Babbofa! Hizappe neeni ase oykkiya asi gidana” yaagis.
James and John, the sons of Zebedee, Simon's partners, felt the same way. “Don't be afraid,” Jesus told Simon. “From now on you'll be fishing for people!”
11 Entti wogolota gaxa shiishidaappe guye ubbaa aggidi Yesuusa kaallidosona.
So they dragged the boats onto the shore, left everything, and followed Jesus.
12 Yesuusi katamatappe issuwan de7ishin issi baro harggen oykettida asi he kataman de7ees. He uray Yesuusa be7idi iya sinthan gufannidi, “Godaw, ne shene gidikko tana geeshshanaw dandda7aasa” gidi woossis.
Once when Jesus was visiting one of the towns, he met a man there who had a very bad case of leprosy. The man fell with his face to the ground and begged Jesus, “Please Lord, if you're willing, you can make me clean.”
13 Yesuusi ba kushiya yeddi bochchidi, “Ee, ta shene; geeya” yaagis. Iira baro harggey uraappe kichchis.
Jesus reached out and touched the man. “I am willing,” he said. “Be clean!” Immediately the leprosy disappeared.
14 Yesuusi, “Hayssa oodeskka odoppa, shin bada nenatethaa Ayhude kahiniya bessa. Ne geeyidayssas markka gidana mela Musey kiittida yarshshuwa yarshsha” gidi kiittis.
“Say nothing to anyone,” Jesus instructed him. “Go and show yourself to the priest and make the ceremonial offerings as required by the law of Moses as proof that you've been healed.”
15 Gidoshin, iya sunthay kaseppe aadhdhi dalggishe bis. Daro asay I odiyabaa si7anawunne bantta harggiyafe paxanaw yoosona.
Yet the news about Jesus spread more and more. Large crowds came to hear Jesus and to be healed from their diseases.
16 Shin Yesuusi daro wode geema bessi bidi woossees.
But Jesus often used to retreat to quiet places and pray.
17 Issi gallas Yesuusi tamaarssishin Galiilappenne Yihuda heera ubbaafe qassi Yerusalaameppekka yida Farisaawetinne higge asttamaareti yan uttidosona. Asaa pathiya Godaa wolqqayka iyara de7ees.
One day when Jesus was teaching, the Pharisees and religious teachers who had come from all over Galilee, Judea, and Jerusalem were sitting there. The power of the Lord to heal was with him so he could heal.
18 He wode asay issi gundda asi halara tookkidi ehidosona. Soo gelssidi iya sinthan wothanaw qoppidosona.
Some men arrived carrying a paralyzed man on a mat. They tried to take him in and lay him in front of Jesus.
19 Shin asaa darotethaafe denddoyssan soo gelssanaw xoonettidi keethaa bolla keyidi, kaara qawuxidi, hargganchchuwa halara asaa shaakkidi Yesuusa sinthan yeggidosona.
But they couldn't find any way through the crowd, so they went up on the roof and made a hole in the roof tiles. Then they lowered the man down on the mat, right into the crowd in front of Jesus.
20 Yesuusi entta ammanuwa be7idi, “La addiyaw, ne nagaray qushettis” yaagis.
When Jesus saw the trust they had in him, he said to the man, “Your sins are forgiven.”
21 Higge asttamaaretinne Farisaaweti, “Hayssi Xoossaa bolla yaagidi odettey oonee? Issi Xoossaafe attin haray nagara quchchanaw dandda7ey oonee?” yaagidi qoppidosona.
The religious teachers and the Pharisees began to argue with that. “Who is this who's speaking blasphemies?” they asked. “Who can forgive sins? Only God can do that!”
22 Yesuusi entta qofaa erida gisho enttako, “Hintte wozanan hessatho ays qoppeetii?
Jesus knew what they were arguing about, so he asked them, “Why are you thinking to question this?
23 ‘Ne nagaray qushettis geyssafenne denddada ba geyssafe awussi kawuyii?’
What is easier? To say your sins are forgiven, or to say get up and walk?
24 Shin ta hessa giday Asa Na7ay sa7a bolla nagara quchchanaw maati de7eyssa hintte erana melassa.” Hessafe kaallidi, gundda uraakko, “Dendda; ne alggaa tookkada ne soo ba” yaagis.
However, I will prove to you that the Son of man has the authority here on earth to forgive sins.” Then he said to the paralyzed man, “I tell you: Get up, pick up your mat, and go home.”
25 I ellesi denddidi entta sinthan eqqis I tookettidi yida alggaa tookkidi Xoossaa galatishe ba soo bis.
Immediately the man stood up in front of them. He picked up the mat he'd been lying on, and went home, praising God as he went.
26 He wode ubbayka malaalettidosona. Xoossaa galatishe, “Hachchi gita malaata be7ida” yaagidi yashettidosona.
Everyone was completely astonished at what had happened, and in great awe they praised God, saying, “What we saw today was amazing!”
27 Hessafe guye, Yesuusi yaappe keyidi bis. Leewe geetettiya issi qaraxa qanxiseyssi qaraxa qanxisiya bessan uttidayssa be7idi, “Tana kaalla” yaagis.
Later, as Jesus was leaving the town, he saw a tax collector called Levi sitting at his tax booth. “Follow me,” Jesus told him.
28 I ubbabaa aggi denddidi iya kaallis.
Levi stood up, left everything, and followed Jesus.
29 He Leewey ba son gita gibira giigisis. Daro qaraxa qanxiseyssatinne hara asati kathaa maanaw uttidosona.
Levi organized a large banquet at his home in Jesus' honor. Many tax collectors and others were in the crowd that sat down to eat with them. But the Pharisees and the religious teachers complained to Jesus' disciples, asking,
30 Farisaawetinne higge asttamaareti, “Qaraxa qanxeyssataranne nagaranchchotara ays meetinne uyeetii?” yaagidi Yesuusa tamaareta bolla zuuzummidosona.
“Why do you eat and drink with tax collectors and sinners?”
31 Yesuusi enttako, “Hargganchchotassafe attin paxatas aakime koshshenna.
“Healthy people don't need a doctor—but sick people do,” Jesus replied.
32 Taani nagaranchchota maarotaakko zaaranaassafe attin geeshshata xeeganaw yabiikke” yaagidi zaaris.
“I didn't come to call those who are living right to repentance—I came to call sinners.”
33 Entti Yesuusakko, “Yohaannisa tamaareti daro wode xoomosona, woossosona; qassi Farisaaweta tamaaretikka hessatho oothoosona. Shin neyssati ubba wode moosonanne uyoosona” yaagidosona.
“Well, John's disciples often fast and pray, and the Pharisees' disciples do so as well. But your disciples don't—they go on eating and drinking,” they told him.
34 Yesuusi enttako, “Mushuray enttara de7ishin xeegettida asay xoomana mela oothanaw dandda7etii?
“Should the groomsmen fast while the bridegroom is with them?” Jesus asked.
35 Shin mushuray enttafe shaakettana gallasay yaana, he wode entti xoomana.”
“No—but the time is coming when the bridegroom will be taken away from them. Then they can fast.”
36 Qassi yaagidi leemiso odis; “Ooratha ma7oppe peedhidi gal77a ma7o bolla sikkey oonikka baawa. Hessatho oothiko ooratha ma7uwa peedhees, oorathay gal77aas giigenna.
Then he gave them an illustration: “You don't tear out a patch from new clothes to mend old clothes. Otherwise you'd ruin new clothes, and the patch from the new wouldn't match the old.
37 Mal7antto woyniya gal77a ogoron qoliya oonikka baawa. Hessa oothiko, ooratha woyney gal77a ogoruwa dhusees; woyney gukkees ogoroykka maaddonabaa gidees.
You don't put new wine into old wineskins, because if you did the new wine would burst the wineskins. Then both wine and wineskins would be wasted.
38 Hessa gisho, ooratha woyney ooratha ogoron qolettanaw bessees.
You put new wine in new wineskins.
39 Hiza, caalay lo77o giya gisho, caala woyne uyi simmidi mal7antto koyey oonikka baawa” yaagis.
And nobody after drinking old wine wants new wine, for they say, ‘the old tastes good.’”
