Luka 5
1 Dayenli, ke Jesu bo ye Senesareti kpenkunu, ke ku niwulgu bo gobi ki lindi o, ki cengi U Tienu maama.
On one occasion, while Jesus was standing by the Lake of Gennesaret with the crowd pressing in on Him to hear the word of God,
2 Ke o lá ñinbiadi lie u kpenkunu. A jankpaanla bo jiidi ki ŋanbdi bi jankpaantiadi.
He saw two boats at the edge of the lake. The fishermen had left them and were washing their nets.
3 ñinbiayengu den tie Simɔn yaagu. Jesu den kua lienni ki maadi o, ke wan fagdi waama yeni u kpenkunu, ama o den ye gu niinni ki tundi ku niwulgu.
Jesus got into the boat belonging to Simon and asked him to put out a little from shore. And sitting down, He taught the people from the boat.
4 Wan tundi ki gbeni, ke o maadi Simɔn: ... Sudi waama, ki jiidi naani n ñua, fini yeni a lieba n lu i jankpaantiadi.
When Jesus had finished speaking, He said to Simon, “Put out into deep water and let down your nets for a catch.”
5 ... Ke Simɔn ŋmiani o, Canbaa, ti sɔni ñiamungu ti ki cuo lbá, ama, ŋan buali ke min lu yeni, n ba lu.
“Master,” Simon replied, “we have worked hard all night without catching anything. But because You say so, I will let down the nets.”
6 Bi lu ki cuo i jami boncianla ke bi jankpaantiadi ji bo bua padi mɔno.
When they had done so, they caught such a large number of fish that their nets began to tear.
7 Li yogu ke bi yini bi lieba ku ñinbiagu po ke ban baa ki todi ba. Ban baa ke bi cuo ki gbieni bi ñinbiadi, hali ke ti bua mii kelima ku kpiagu po.
So they signaled to their partners in the other boat to come and help them, and they came and filled both boats so full that they began to sink.
8 Simɔn Pieri n la lani, ke jiidi ki gbaani Jesu taana po ki maadi: ... N diedo, fagdi n kan ne, kelima n tie tuonbiiadaano.
When Simon Peter saw this, he fell at Jesus’ knees. “Go away from me, Lord,” he said, “for I am a sinful man.”
9 Li yogu ke i jewaani kua ba yeni ban la ya ciila.
For he and his companions were astonished at the catch of fish they had taken,
10 Li gɔ bo tieni yeni Simɔn tuonsɔnlieba, Saak yeni San, Sebede bila. Li yogu ke Jesu maadi Simɔn: ... Da jie! Lan cili mɔlane, a ji baa taandi bi niba n po.
and so were his partners James and John, the sons of Zebedee. “Do not be afraid,” Jesus said to Simon. “From now on you will catch men.”
11 Ban kpeni yeni bi jankpaantiadi, bi ŋaa ti kuli ki ji ŋua Jesu.
And when they had brought their boats ashore, they left everything and followed Him.
12 Daatɔli, ke Jesu den ye dogu bá nni, ke jua bá ti baa ke mi kpaadma kubi o. Wan lá Jesu, ke o gbaani o nintuali nni, ki jaandi ki maandi: ... N Diedo, a ya bua, a ba fidi ki paagi nni.
While Jesus was in one of the towns, a man came along who was covered with leprosy. When he saw Jesus, he fell facedown and begged Him, “Lord, if You are willing, You can make me clean.”
13 Ke Jesu tandi o nugu, ki sii o ki maadi: ... Nn, n bua, paagi. Li yogu mɔno, ke mi gbaadma siedi ki ŋaa o.
Jesus reached out His hand and touched the man. “I am willing,” He said. “Be clean!” And immediately the leprosy left him.
14 Ke o kpaani o, ki maadi «ke wan da maadi nulo yaali n baa o» Ama, ke o maadi o ke wan gedi o dandanciamo kani ki ji bili o paabu li jaanddiebinbindli po nani Moyisi n den maadi maama yeni. Li ji baa nani sieda i i po.
“Do not tell anyone,” Jesus instructed him. “But go, show yourself to the priest and present the offering Moses prescribed for your cleansing, as a testimony to them.”
15 Jesu laabaali ji den yadi kaanakuli. Ku niwulgu ji den ŋua ki bua bi yiani n gbeni.
But the news about Jesus spread all the more, and great crowds came to hear Him and to be healed of their sicknesses.
16 Ama, o den gedi naani n kuoni ki ba jaandi.
Yet He frequently withdrew to the wilderness to pray.
17 Daayenli, ke Jesu den tundi U Tienu laabamanli, Farisieninba yeni Yikotundkaaba den kaa ki cengi. Bi den ñani Gaalile, Sude yeni Jerusalemi dingbankonkogi nni. Ti Yonbdaano paalu den ye yeni Jesu ke o paagdi bi yianba.
One day Jesus was teaching, and the Pharisees and teachers of the law were sitting there. People had come from Jerusalem and from every village of Galilee and Judea, and the power of the Lord was present for Him to heal the sick.
18 Nibbá ti baa yeni bi yiamo ke o taana kuli kpe. Bi den kpaani ke ban kua yeni o Jesu kani.
Just then some men came carrying a paralyzed man on a mat. They tried to bring him inside to set him before Jesus,
19 Ama, bi den ki fidi kelima ku niwulgu po. Li yogu ke bi doni ki cibi li dieli poli po ki jiini bi yiamo ki lianga po, ku niwulgu siiga Jesu kani
but they could not find a way through the crowd. So they went up on the roof and lowered him on his mat through the tiles into the middle of the crowd, right in front of Jesus.
20 Wan lá ke bi jaba yeni pia li dandanli o niinni, ke Jesu yedi: «N dɔnli, a tuonbiadi piini o».
When Jesus saw their faith, He said, “Friend, your sins are forgiven.”
21 Yikodanba yeni Farisieninba ji buali ki maadi: ... O ja ne tie ŋma i ki maadi ti majɔgndi? ŋma ba fidi ki piini ti biidi, li ya ki tie U Tienu bábá yaa ka?
But the scribes and Pharisees began thinking to themselves, “Who is this man who speaks blasphemy? Who can forgive sins but God alone?”
22 Ama, Jesu den bani bi maalma, ki maadi ba: «Be ya po n cedi ke i pia li maalma?
Knowing what they were thinking, Jesus replied, “Why are you thinking these things in your hearts?
23 Be n tie faala? Maadi: «A tuonbiadi piini» bii «fii ki ya cuoni»?
Which is easier: to say, ‘Your sins are forgiven,’ or to say, ‘Get up and walk?’
24 Li ŋani! I ba bandi ke o nulo biga pia yiko ki tinga ne po yeni wan piini ti tuonbiadi. Ke o ji maadi o tuomo: ... N cabi: Fii, taa a lianga ki ya kuni.
But so that you may know that the Son of Man has authority on the earth to forgive sins...” He said to the paralytic, “I tell you, get up, pick up your mat, and go home.”
25 Li yogu ku niwulgu nni, ke o ja yeni fii ki taa o lianga ki kuni ki dondi U Tienu.
And immediately the man stood up before them, took what he had been lying on, and went home glorifying God.
26 yaaba n den ye li kani kuli ke ti jawaandi cuo ba. Ke bi ji dondi U Tienu ki maadi: ... Ti lá dinne tin ki kpeli ki lá yaala!
Everyone was taken with amazement and glorified God. They were filled with awe and said, “We have seen remarkable things today.”
27 Li puoli po, ke Jesu den pendi ki lá Patendi (Lonpo) Gaalo ke bi yii o, Lefi, ke o kaa o tuonli nni. Ke o yini o, ki maadi o: ... Ya ŋua nni!
After this, Jesus went out and saw a tax collector named Levi sitting at the tax booth. “Follow Me,” He told him,
28 Ke o ja yeni fii ki ŋaa li kuli ki ŋua Jesu.
and Levi got up, left everything, and followed Him.
29 Lefi bobni mi jaanma o denpo ki bua gaa Jesu. Bi niba boncianla den dini yeni Jesu, bi siiga a patendi gaala den ye.
Then Levi hosted a great banquet for Jesus at his house. A large crowd of tax collectors was there, along with others who were eating with them.
30 Farisieninba yeni Yikotundkaaba den ye bi bá ki yini Jesu Kpaaga. ... Be n tieni ke i ba di yeni a patendi gaala, ya febddanba ne?
But the Pharisees and their scribes complained to Jesus’ disciples, “Why do you eat and drink with tax collectors and sinners?”
31 Ke Jesu ŋmiani ba: ... Yaaba n pia laafia ki bua dogda, bi yianba n bua o.
Jesus answered, “It is not the healthy who need a doctor, but the sick.
32 yaaba n tiegi po ka ke n cua, ama n cua ke min lebdi ti tuonbiadi danba yama.
I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners, to repentance.”
33 Bi tɔba den buali o: ... Jan ŋɔdikaaba yeni Farisieninba wani yen loli bu ñɔbu ki ya jaandi, ama Jesu ŋɔdikaaba wani yen di ki ñu i.
Then they said to Him, “John’s disciples and those of the Pharisees frequently fast and pray, but Yours keep on eating and drinking.”
34 ... Ke Jesu ŋmiani ba, i lá aa, li paa yeni o puodaano dɔnlinba n loli ñɔbu ke o puodaano dá ye yeni ba.
Jesus replied, “Can you make the guests of the bridegroom fast while He is with them?
35 O yogu cuoni, ke o ba siedi ki ŋaa ba, li yogu bi ba loli ñɔbu.
But the time will come when the bridegroom will be taken from them; then they will fast.”
36 Ki pua ba mi makpanjama ne: ... Nulo n da taa li cabpanli, ki libi li cabkpeli po. Lan yaa ka bi bua biidi li cabpanli. Ban jia ya cabli n mɔ n ki ŋani ki libi li cabkpeli.
He also told them a parable: “No one tears a piece of cloth from a new garment and sews it on an old one. If he does, he will tear the new garment as well, and the patch from the new will not match the old.
37 Li tie yeni mɔ, nulo kan piagi mi daakaama a cuakpela nni, lan yaa ka mi daama ba fidi ki cedi ŋan pudi pudi, mi daama n wuli, a cuana mɔ biidi o.
And no one pours new wine into old wineskins. If he does, the new wine will burst the skins, the wine will spill, and the wineskins will be ruined.
38 Li buali, ke n ń piagi mi daapaanma a cuapaana nni.
Instead, new wine is poured into new wineskins.
39 Mɔmɔni, ti ya ñuni mi daakpelma, ti ji ki bua mi daapaanma; ti ji maadi: Mi bonkpelma n mani.
And no one after drinking old wine wants new, for he says, ‘The old is better.’”
