Lioka 5
1 Teo te nifanihisihy ama’e ondatio hijanjiñe ty tsaran’ Añahare añ’ olo’ i oñe Genesaretay
One day, as Jesus was standing beside the Sea of Galilee, people crowded around him to hear the word of God.
2 le nivazoho’e ty lakañe roe añ’ olon-drano ey, ie fa niakatse hanasa harato o tompo’eo.
Jesus noticed two boats lying on the shore, left there by fishermen who were washing their nets.
3 Nijoñe an-daka’ i Simona ao re nihalaly te hisitake amy olotsey. Aa le niambesatse an-dakañe ey re nañoke ondatio.
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 Ie modo i fañoha’ey, le hoe re amy Simona: Mivevea mb’an-daleke mb’eo vaho ajoño ao o harato’ areoo hanarike.
After he'd finished speaking, he told Simon, “Go out into deeper water, and let down your nets for a catch.”
5 Le hoe ty natoi’ i Simona aze: O Rañandria, nifanehak’ avao zahay aniankale le tsy nahazo leo raike; fe amo saontsi’oo, hajoko ao i haratoy.
“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 Ie nanoe’ iereo izay, le nivokatse fiañe nifamorohotse nahariatañe i harato’ iareoy.
Having done this, a large shoal of fish filled the nets full to breaking point.
7 Aa le nitsikaore’e o rañe’ iareo amy lakañe ila’e eiio ty hañolotse iareo; nimb’eo iereo, le nipeae’iereo fiañe i lakañe roe rey, vaho ho nilempotse.
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 Ie nahaoniñe izay t’i Simona Petera, le nihotrak’ am-pandia’ Iesoà eo nihalaly ty hoe: O Rañandria, misitaha amako fa ondaty bey hakeo.
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 Toe niveren-draha t’i Simona naho o rañe’eo ami’ty hamarom-piañe niazo.
For he and everybody with him were completely amazed by the catch of fish that they had landed.
10 Nihoe izay ka t’i Jaona naho Iakobe, ana’ i Zebedio mpitrao-pitoloñe amy Simona. Hoe t’Iesoà tamy Simona: Ko mahimahiñe fa ondaty ka ty ho tsepahe’o henane zao.
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 Ie toly an-tamboho ey i lakañe rey, le fonga nafoe’ iereo vaho nañorik’ aze.
So they dragged the boats onto the shore, left everything, and followed Jesus.
12 Ie tan-drova raike t’Iesoà, intoy ty lahilahy atseke ty angamae; ie nahaisake Iesoà, le nihohok’ an-dahara’e nitoreo ama’e ty hoe: O Rañandria naho satri’o, mahalio ahy irehe.
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 Nahiti’ Iesoà ty fità’e, nitsapa aze le nanao ty hoe: Satriko ‘nio, maliova; naho niafak’ amy zao i haangamae’ey
Jesus reached out and touched the man. “I am willing,” he said. “Be clean!” Immediately the leprosy disappeared.
14 vaho hinatahata’e tsy hitalily am’ondaty, am’ty hoe: Akia miboaha amy mpisoroñey, le ibanabanào i linili’ i Mosèy ami’ty fahaliova’o ho fitaliliañe.
“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 Fe àntsake te niboele ty enge’e, le niropak’ ama’e i lahialeñey hijanjiñe naho ho jangañeñe amo arete’eo.
Yet the news about Jesus spread more and more. Large crowds came to hear Jesus and to be healed from their diseases.
16 F’ie nivike mb’ am-babangoañe añe, niloloke.
But Jesus often used to retreat to quiet places and pray.
17 Teo te niambesatse eo ty fariseo naho mpañoke Hake hirik’ an-drova e Galilia naho e Iehodà iaby naho boake Ierosaleme añe, le naò’e, vaho tama’e ty haozara’ i Talè hampijangañe.
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 Ie amy zao, nendese’ ondaty an-tihy ty lahilahy kepeke, nipay ty hanjilihañe aze ao, hampandreañe aze añatrefa’e eo.
Some men arrived carrying a paralyzed man on a mat. They tried to take him in and lay him in front of Jesus.
19 Aa ie tsy naharendreke ty hampitsifirañe aze amy lahialeñey, le nanganik’ ambone’ i anjombay vaho nazotso’ iareo an-tihy, boak’an-tafo mb’ añatrefa’ Iesoà, añivo eo i mararey.
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 Ie nioni’e ty fatokisa’ iareo, le hoe re ama’e: O koahe, afa-tahin-drehe.
When Jesus saw the trust they had in him, he said to the man, “Your sins are forgiven.”
21 Fe nitsakore ty hoe o mpanoki-dilio naho o fariseoo: Ia o miteraterao? Ia ty mahafa-kakeo naho tsy i Andrianañahare avao?
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 Fe nifohi’ Iesoà ty ereñeren-tro’ iareo le tinoi’e ty hoe: Ino o fitsakorean’ arofo’ areoo?
Jesus knew what they were arguing about, so he asked them, “Why are you thinking to question this?
23 Ty aia ty mora, ty manao ty hoe: Afake o hakeo’oo? ke ty hoe: Miongaha, mañaveloa?
What is easier? To say your sins are forgiven, or to say get up and walk?
24 Aa soa te hampahafohineñe anahareo te aman-dily an-tane atoy i Ana’ ondatiy hañaha hakeo, le hoe re amy nisilofe’ i hakepehañeiy: Inao! Miongaha, tintino o tihi’oo, akia mb’ añ’ akiba’o añe.
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 Aa le nitroatse añatrefa’ iereo amy zao re, nandrambe i nandrea’ey vaho nimpoly, nandrenge an’ Andrianañahare.
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 Nilatsa iaby iereo naho nibango an’ Andrianañahare, vaho nanao ty hoe am-pañeveñañe: Nahaoniñe raha tsitantane tika anindroany.
Everyone was completely astonished at what had happened, and in great awe they praised God, saying, “What we saw today was amazing!”
27 Añe zay, le nienga t’Iesoà naho nahavazoho ty mpamory vili-loha atao Levy, niambesatse am-pandroroñañe ao, le hoe re tama’e: Oriho iraho.
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 Aa le nifarie’e ze he’e naho niongake vaho nañorik’ aze.
Levi stood up, left everything, and followed Jesus.
29 Nanao sandalam-bey ho aze añ’ anjomba’e ao t’i Levy, le maro ty mpamory vili-loha naho ondaty ila’e nitrao-piambesatse am’iereo.
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 Fe niñeoñeoñe amo mpiama’eo o Fariseoo naho o mpanoki-dili’ iareoo ami’ty hoe: Ino ty itraofa’ areo fikama naho finoñe amo mpamory vili-lohao naho amo bey hakeoo?
“Why do you eat and drink with tax collectors and sinners?”
31 Tinoi’ Iesoà ty hoe: Tsy o jangañeo ro mipay mpanaha fa o marareo;
“Healthy people don't need a doctor—but sick people do,” Jesus replied.
32 Tsy avy hikoike o vantañeo iraho fa o mpandilatseo, hisoloho.
“I didn't come to call those who are living right to repentance—I came to call sinners.”
33 Le hoe ty asa’iareo tama’e: Akore te mililitse naho miloloke o mpiana’ i Jaonao, manao izay ka o mpiamo Fariseoo, fe mitolo-pihinañe naho minoñ’ avao o Azoo?
“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 Hoe ty natoi’ Iesoà: Lefe’ areo hao ty hampililitse ty longo’ i mpañengay ie mbe am’ iereo i mpañengay?
“Should the groomsmen fast while the bridegroom is with them?” Jesus asked.
35 Mbe ho avy ty andro hanintahañe i mpañengay; hililitse amy andro zay iereo.
“No—but the time is coming when the bridegroom will be taken away from them. Then they can fast.”
36 Hoe ka ty nirazaña’e: Tsy ia ty manakeke lamba vao ami’ty tsirodea, fa ho riate’ i vaoy, naho tsy mete hivitrañe amy tsirodeay ty tampa’ i vaoy.
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 Tsy eo ka ty hañiliñe divay vao an-jonjon-kolitse hambo’e ao, kera ho tosire’ i divay vaoy i zonjon-kolitse hambo’ey vaho hianto i zonjoñey.
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 Tsy mete tsy ailiñ’ an-jonjoñe vao ao ty divay vao.
You put new wine in new wineskins.
39 Tsy eo ty minoñe amy elay ty hipay ty vao aniany; fa hoe re: I elay ro soa.
And nobody after drinking old wine wants new wine, for they say, ‘the old tastes good.’”
