Luke 5
1 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].
Hypoet taw Bawipa Jesu ce thlang kqeng mi Genesaret tuili keng awh dyi hy, cawh thlang kqeng ing Khawsak awi ce ngai uhy,
2 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.
tui keng awh ngak hawikhqi ing a mi taak hyt lawng pakkhih ce hu hy, ngak hawikhqi taw a mi lawk chuk uhy.
3 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].
Lawng pynoet ak khuiawh ce lut hy, cawhkaw lawng cetaw Simon a lawng na awm hy. Lawng ce tui benna tun bet aham Simon ce kqawn pehy. Cekcoengawh lawng awh ce ngawi nawh thlangkhqi ce cawngpyi hy.
4 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]!”
Awi ak kqawn boeih coengawh, Simon venawh, “Tuili dung na thoeih nawh lawk ce khawng lah,” tina hy.
5 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.”
Simon ing, “Bawipa than oet pyt khawng hawh hlai u nyng ikawawm am hu u nyng. Cehlai nak awi awh khawng lah vang nyng,” tina hy.
6 When Peter [and the men with him] had done that, they caught so many fish that their nets were breaking.
Lawk ce amik khawng awhtaw, nga khawzah tu unawh lawk ce teek pit pit hy.
7 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.
Cedawngawh lawng ak chang nakaw a mi pyikhqi ce ak bawm aham a mi kut ing vaih uhy, cekkhqi ce law unawh lawng ang cum pit pit dyna nga ce ak be na tu uhy.
8 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!”
Simon Piter ing a huh awh, Jesu a khawkung awh khuk sym doena, “Bawipa, ni cehtaak mai, thlak thawlh na awm nyng,” tina hy.
Nga a mim tu awh Piter ingkaw a pyikhqi ce a mik kawpoek kyi hy,
10 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].”
Simon a pyi, Zebedee a caqawi Jakob ingkaw Johan awm anik kawpoek kyi hy. Cekcoengawh Jesu ing Simon a venawh, “Koeh kqih; tuh awhkawng thlang ak tukung na awm hawh kawp ti,” tina hy.
11 So after they brought the boats to the shore, they left their business [HYP] [in the hands of others] and went with Jesus.
Lawng ce kawngceng na amik dawh coengawh, ik-oeih boeih ce cehta unawh a hu awh bat uhy.
12 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!”
Khaw pynoet awh a awm awh, mynqai ak neh thlang pynoet ce law hy. Jesu ce a huh awh, dek na koep nawh qeennaak thoeh hy, “Bawipa, na ngaih awhtaw ni ciimcaih sak lah,” tina hy.
13 [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]!
Jesu ing a kut zyng nawh bi hy. “Ngaih nyng, qoei hlah!” tina hy. Cawh a mynqai ce caih pahoei hy.
14 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].”
Jesu ing a venawh, “U a venawh awm koeh kqawn, cet nawh khawsoeih a venna na pum ce nam huh coengawh, na qoeinaak a dawngawh Mosi ak awipeek a myihna, a mingmih ing a mi simnaak aham bulnaak ce sai lah,” tina hy.
15 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}.
Cehlai anih akawng ce thang khqoet hy, cedawngawh ak awi ngai ham ingkaw tlawhnaak qoei sak aham thlangkhqi ce law uhy.
16 But he often would go away from them to the desolate area and pray.
Cehlai Jesu taw a dingnaak na amah doeng cet poepa nawh cykcah hy.
17 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,
Hypoet taw thlang a cawngpyi awh, Kalili qam, Judah qam ingkaw Jerusalem khaw awhkaw Farasikhqi ingkaw anaa awi cawngpyikungkhqi ce amah cawh ngawi uhy. Cawh thlak tlo qoei sak aham Bawipa ak thaawmnaak ce a venawh awm hy.
18 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.
Thlang vang ing ak khawn thlang pynoet ce a hiphaih awh kawt law uhy, ipkhui na khyn phaat unawh a haiawh tloeng peek aham ngaih uhy.
19 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.
Cehlai thlang a be aih a dawngawh ipkhui na am khyn thai uhy, cedawngawh iptih na kaai unawh qui ing thlang anglak li awh, Jesu a haiawh hiphaih mah na nuk thlaak pe uhy.
20 When Jesus perceived that they believed that [he could heal the man], he said to him, “My friend, [I] forgive your sins!”
A mingmih ak cangnaak ce Jesu ing a huh awh, “Thlang pa aw, na thawlhnaak ce qeenna awm hawh hy,” tina hy.
21 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!”
Cawh Farasikhqi ingkaw anaa awi cawngpyikungkhqi ing, “U nu Khawsa ak the ak khanaak ve? Khawsa doeng am awhtaw u ing nu thawlh qeenkhaw ang ngai thai?” ti uhy.
22 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]:
A mingmih ak kawpoek ce Jesu ing sim pe khqi nawh, “Ikawtih cemyihna namik kawlung khuiawh namik poek uh?
23 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].
Han nu ak zoei bet: 'Na thawlh qeenna awm hawh hy,' tive nu, am awhtaw 'Tho nawh cet hlah,' tive nu?
24 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!’”
Cehlai thlanghqing Capa ing khawmdek awh thawlh qeennaak tahy, tice nami simnaak aham,” tinak khqi hy. Ak khawn na ce, “Ka nik kqawn peek, tho, na hiphaih ce lo nawh imna voei hlah,” tina hy.
25 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.
A mingmih haiawh ce dyi pahoei nawh, a hiphaih ce a lawh coengawh Khawsa kyihcah doena im na ce cet hy.
26 All the people [there] were amazed! They praised God and were completely awestruck. They kept saying, “We [(inc)] have seen wonderful things today!”
Thlang boeih a mik kawpoek kyi nawh Khawsa ce kyihcah uhy. Ngaih kyi doena, “Tuhngawi awh kawpoek kyi ik-oeih ni hu uhy,” ti uhy.
27 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]!”
Cekcoengawh Jesu ce cet nawh mangmu cawinaak awh ak ngawi mangmu ak cawikung Levi ak mingnaak thlang pynoet ce hu hy. A venawh, “Ka hu awh bat lah,” tina hy.
28 So Levi left his work [HYP] and went with Jesus.
Levi ce tho nawh ik-oeihkhqi ce a cehtaak coengawh a hu awh bat hy.
29 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.
Cekcoengawh Levi ing amah a im awh Jesu aham buh veelnaak poei ak bau soeih sai pehy. Mangmu ak cawikungkhqi ingkaw thlak changkhqi thlang khawzah ce Jesu mi buh ai haih hy.
30 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]
Cehlai Farasikhqi ingkaw anaa awi cawngpyikungkhqi ing a mi huh awh ce a hubatkhqi venawh saai bi uhy, “Kawtih mangmu ak cawikung 'Thlak thawlhkhqi' mi buh a mi ai haih?” tinak khqi uhy.
31 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].
Jesu ing, “Sakdip thlang ing siboei am ngoe hy, cehlai thlak tlo ing ni a ngoe.
32 [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].”
Thlak dyng khy aham am law nyng, thlak thawlh a zutnaak aham ni ka law,” tinak khqi hy.
33 [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]?”
A mingmih ing a venawh, “Johan a hubatkhqi ingtaw buh zeih poepa unawh cykcah uhy, Farasikhqi a hubatkhqi ingawm, cehlai nang a hubatkhqi ingtaw aw a ai uhy,” tina uhy.
34 [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].
Jesu ing, “Zuk lokung a awm khuiawh ak khinkhqi buh namik zeih hly sak nu?
35 [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].”
Cehlai zuk lokung lawh peek valhnaak a tym ce pha kaw; cawh buh zeih bit kawm uh,” tinak khqi hy.
36 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.
A mingmih a venawh vawhkaw nyhtahnaak awi ve kqawn pehy: “U ingawm hi ak thai ce teek nawh hi ak kqym ap bu na khawi hy. Ak bunaak man, hi ak thai ce awm teek kaw, cekcoengawh hi ak kqym ingawm am qoep laklaw kaw.
37 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.
U ingawm misur tui ak thai ce cikthlyng ak kqym awh am thun khawi hy. A thun mai mantaw, misur tui ak thai ing cikthlyng ak kqym ce hqe kawmsaw, misur tui ingkaw cikthlyng ce plawci bawk kaw.
38 On the contrary, new wine must be put into new wineskins.
Cedawngawh misur tui ak thai taw cikthlyng ak thai awh thun aham awm hy.
39 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!’”
Misur tui ak kqym ce tui khqoet hy a mi ti a dawngawh, u ingawm misur tui ak kqym a awk coengawh misur tui ak thai ce am ngaih khawi hy,” tinak khqi hy.
