Luk 5
1 Otu oge, ka Jisọs guzo nʼakụkụ ọdọ mmiri Genesaret. Igwe mmadụ gbara ya gburugburu ka ha nụrụ okwu Chineke.
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,
2 Ọ hụrụ nʼọnụ mmiri ahụ, ụgbọ mmiri abụọ nke ndị ọkụ azụ nwe ha hapụrụ gaa ịsa ụgbụ ha ji egbu azụ.
(but the fishermen were gone out of them, and were washing their nets: )
3 Ọ banyere nʼime otu ụgbọ mmiri ndị ahụ, nke bụ nke Saimọn, ọ rịọrọ ya ka ọ kwọrọ ya banyetụ ntakịrị nʼime mmiri. Ọ nọdụrụ ala nʼime ya bido na-ezi igwe mmadụ ihe.
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.
4 Mgbe o kwusiri okwu, ọ gwara Saimọn sị, “Banyetụkwuo nʼime mmiri, tụnye ụgbụ gị ka i gbute azụ.”
And when He had done speaking, He said to Simon, Put out into the deep, and let down your nets for a draught.
5 Saimọn zara sị, “Nna anyị ukwuu, anyị rụsịrị ọrụ ike abalị niile na-egbutaghị ihe ọbụla, ma otu i sịrị kwuo, aga m awụnye ụgbụ azụ niile.”
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.
6 Mgbe ha mere nke a, ha gbutere ọtụtụ azụ nke mere na ụgbụ azụ ha malitere ịdọkasị.
And when they had done this, they inclosed a multitude of fishes; and their net was breaking.
7 Ha kpọrọ ndị ọkụ azụ ibe ha nọ nʼụgbọ mmiri ọzọ ka ha bịa nyere ha aka. Ha bịara kpojuo azụ nʼụgbọ mmiri abụọ ahụ nke malitere imikpu.
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,
8 Ma mgbe Saimọn Pita hụrụ nke a, ọ dara nʼukwu Jisọs sị, “Si nʼebe m nọ pụọ, Onyenwe m, nʼihi na abụ m onye mmehie.”
he fell at the knees of Jesus, saying, Lord, depart from me, for I am a sinful man;
9 Nʼihi na o juru ya na ndị ya na ha so anya ịhụ ọtụtụ azụ ndị a ha gbutere.
for he was astonished, and all that were with him, at the draught of fishes which they had taken;
10 Ọ bụladị Jemis na Jọn ụmụ Zebedi, ndị ha na Saimọn na-arụkọ ọrụ, ka ihe a jukwara anya. Mgbe ahụ Jisọs gwara Saimọn sị, “Atụla egwu, nʼihi na site ugbu a gaa nʼihu, ị ga na-akụta mmadụ.”
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.
11 Mgbe ha kwọpụtara ụgbọ mmiri ha nʼelu ala, ha hapụrụ ihe niile soro ya.
And when they had brought their ships to land, they left all and followed Him.
12 Mgbe Jisọs nọ nʼotu obodo, otu nwoke onye ekpenta juru ahụ, bịara daa, kpudo ihu ya nʼala mgbe ọ hụrụ ya, rịọ ya sị, “Onyenwe m, ọ bụrụ na ị chọrọ, ị pụrụ ime ka m dị ọcha.”
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.
13 Jisọs setịpụrụ aka ya metụ ya sị, “Achọrọ m, bụrụ onye dị ọcha!” Ngwangwa ekpenta ahụ hapụrụ ya.
And Jesus stretched out his hand and touched him, saying, I will; be thou cleansed: and immediately the leprosy departed from him.
14 O nyere ya iwu, “A gwakwala onye ọbụla, kama gaa gosi onye nchụaja onwe gị, chụọkwa aja dị ka Mosis nyere nʼiwu maka ime ka ị dị ọcha, ka ọ bụrụ ihe ama nye ha.”
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.
15 Ma akụkọ banyere ya gbasara karịa, nke mere na igwe mmadụ bịara ịnụrụ ihe ọ na-ekwu, na ka a gwọọkwa ha nrịa nrịa.
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.
16 Ma site nʼoge ruo nʼoge, Jisọs na-ewezuga onwe ya gaa nʼebe ọ ga-anọ naanị ya ikpe ekpere.
But He frequently retired into solitary places, and prayed.
17 Otu ụbọchị, mgbe ọ nọ na-ezi ndị mmadụ ihe, ndị Farisii na ndị ozizi iwu (sitere nʼobodo nta niile dị na Galili na Judịa na Jerusalem bịa nọdụkwa ebe) ahụ. Ike Chineke dịnyekwaara ya ịgwọ ndị ọrịa.
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:
18 Nʼoge ahụ ndị ikom ụfọdụ bu otu nwoke akụkụ ahụ ya kpọnwụrụ akpọnwụ nʼihe ndina ya, bịara gbalịa isite nʼọnụ ụzọ ụlọ ahụ bubata ya tọgbọ ya nʼụkwụ ya.
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:
19 Mgbe ha na-enweghị ike ime nke a nʼihi igwe mmadụ, ha rigooro nʼelu ụlọ, site nʼoghere wetuo nwoke ahụ nʼute ya nʼetiti igwe mmadụ nʼihu Jisọs.
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,
20 Mgbe Jisọs hụrụ okwukwe ha, ọ sịrị, “Enyi m, a gbagharala gị mmehie gị.”
who seeing their faith said unto him, Man, thy sins are forgiven thee.
21 Ndị Farisii na ndị ozizi iwu malitere iche nʼime obi ha sị, “Onye bụ onye a na-ekwulu Chineke? Onye pụrụ ịgbaghara mmadụ mmehie, ma ọ bụghị naanị Chineke?”
And the scribes and pharisees began to cavil, saying, Who is this that talketh blasphemies? Who can forgive sins but God?
22 Mgbe Jisọs matara ihe ha na-ajụ, ọ zara ha sị, “Gịnị mere unu ji na-eche ihe ndị a nʼobi unu?
but Jesus knowing their thoughts, answered and said unto them, What are ye disputing in your hearts?
23 Olee nke ka mfe ikwu: Ọ bụ a gbagharala gị mmehie gị niile, ka ọ bụ ị sị, Bilie jee ije?
Which is easier, to say, Thy sins are forgiven thee, or to say, Rise up and walk?
24 Ma ka unu mata na Nwa nke Mmadụ nwere ikike nʼụwa ịgbaghara mmehie.” Ọ sịrị onye ahụ akụkụ ahụ ya kpọnwụrụ akpọnwụ, “Asị m gị, bilie, chịrị ute gị laa nʼụlọ gị!”
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.
25 Ngwangwa, o biliri ọtọ nʼihu mmadụ niile, chịrị ihe ndina ya bido na-eto Chineke na-ala nʼụlọ ya.
And immediately he rose up before them, took up the bed on which he lay, and went away to his house, glorifying God.
26 Ihe ndị a juru onye ọbụla anya, ha tokwara Chineke. Oke egwu jupụtakwara ha nʼahụ, ha sịrị, “Anyị ahụla ihe ebube taa.”
And they were all amazed and glorified God, and were filled with awe, saying, we have seen wonderful things to-day.
27 Mgbe nke a gasịrị, ọ pụrụ hụ otu onye ọna ụtụ aha ya bụ Livayị, ka ọ nọdụrụ ala nʼụlọ ịnakọta ụtụ ya. Ọ sịrị ya, “Soro m.”
After these things He went out and saw a publican named Levi, sitting at the custom-house, and said to him, Follow me:
28 Ngwangwa, o biliri, hapụ ihe niile soro ya.
and he left all, rose up, and followed Him.
29 Emesịa, Livayị kwadooro Jisọs oke oriri nʼụlọ ya, ọtụtụ igwe ndị ọna ụtụ na ndị ọzọ soo ha nʼoriri ahụ.
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.
30 Ma ndị Farisii na ndị ozizi iwu tamuru ntamu na-ajụ ndị na-eso ụzọ ya sị, “Gịnị mere unu ji soro ndị ọna ụtụ na ndị mmehie na-erikọ nri na-aṅụkọkwa ihe ọṅụṅụ?”
And their scribes and pharisees murmured at his disciples, saying, Why do ye eat and drink with publicans and sinners?
31 Jisọs zara sị, “Mkpa dibịa adịghị akpa ndị ahụ dị ike, kama ọ bụ ndị ahụ na-esighị ike.
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,
32 Abịaghị m ịkpọ ndị ezi omume, kama abịara m ịkpọ ndị mmehie ka ha chegharịa.”
but sinners to repentance.
33 Ha sịrị, “Ndị na-eso ụzọ Jọn na ndị na-eso ụzọ ndị Farisii na-ebu ọnụ, na-ekpe ekpere oge niile, ma ndị na-eso ụzọ gị na-eri, na-aṅụkwa.”
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?
34 Jisọs sịrị ha, “Ndị a kpọrọ oriri nʼọlụlụ di na nwunye, ha ga-ebu ọnụ mgbe ha na onye na-alụ nwunye ọhụrụ nọ?
And He said unto them, Can ye make those of the bride-chamber fast, while the bridegroom is with them?
35 Ma oge na-abịa mgbe a ga-ewepụ onye na-alụ nwunye nʼetiti ha, mgbe ahụ ka ha ga-ebu ọnụ.”
but the days will come, when the bridegroom shall be taken from them, then they will fast.
36 Ọ tụụrụ ha ilu a, “O nweghị onye na-adọkara akwa ọhụrụ were ya kwachie akwa ochie. Ọ bụrụ na e mee nke a, ọ pụtara na a dọwaala akwa ọhụrụ ahụ nʼihi na nke ahụ eji kwachie ya agaghị adaba.
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:
37 Nʼụzọ dị otu a kwa, mmadụ adịghị agbanye mmanya ọhụrụ dị ike nʼime karama akpụkpọ ochie. Nʼihi na ike si na mmanya ọhụrụ ahụ ga-eme ka karama ahụ gbawaa. Mmanya ahụ ga-awụfukwa, karama ahụ a laa nʼiyi.
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:
38 Ma ọ dị mma ịgbanye mmanya ọhụrụ nʼime karama akpụkpọ ọhụrụ.
but new wine must be put into new vessels, and then both are saved.
39 O nweghị onye ṅụsịrị mmanya ochie ga-achọ ịṅụ mmanya ọhụrụ, nʼihi na ọ ga-asị, ‘Nke ochie ahụ ka mma.’”
And no one that has been drinking old wine, immediately desireth new; for he saith, the old is better.
