< Luka 5 >

1 Nene icizina, ligozi nanit wa kilinghe idin lanzu nliru Kutelle, ame wa yisin ngau kurawa.
On one occasion the crowd was pressing on Him and listening to God's Message, while He was standing by the Lake of Gennesaret.
2 Ayene tizirgin nmyin tiba yisin ngau kurawa. Anan nduwane wandi imal nuzu nanya tizirge, idin kussu tikuma.
He, however, saw two fishing-boats drawn up on the beach (for the men had gone away from them and were washing the nets),
3 Yesu wa piru nanya njirgin Simon a woroghe a cancanah udu ubune, a so nanya nzirge anin durssozo annite.
and going on board one of them, which was Simon's He asked him to push out a little from land. Then He sat down and taught the crowd of people from the boat.
4 Na amala udursuzu nanite, a woro Simon ku, “Ayiru uzirge a domun kiti chonchome bara nduwaned.”
When He had finished speaking, He said to Simon, "Push out into deep water, and let down your nets for a haul."
5 Bitrus kpana a woro, “Cikilari, timorin katuwa, nati kifo imon ba, bara ligbulan fe, mba tuu tikume ku.”
"Rabbi," replied Peter, "all night long we have worked hard and caught nothing; but at your command I will let down the nets."
6 Na ita nani ikifo iboo gbardang, tukume putuzo.
This they did, and enclosed a vast number of fish; and their nets began to break.
7 Iyicila adon mine nin nacara na idi nton tizirgi ida bun nani, idah ida kullo tizirge icizina wulu nanya nmyen.
So they signalled to their partners in the other boat to come and help them; they came, and they filled both the boats so that they almost sank.
8 Na Bitrus nyene nani adio nabunu Yesu anin din sughe, “Cacanah kupo nighe, bara na meng unan kulapari, Cikilari.”
When Simon Peter saw this, he fell down at the knees of Jesus, and exclaimed, "Master, leave my boat, for I am a sinful man."
9 Imone wa tighe Zikiki, ligowe nan nale na awadi nanghinu nin kifu nibowe ulenge na iwa yiru.
(For he was astonished and terrified--he and all his companions--at the haul of fish which they had taken;
10 Ulele wa munun Yakubu nin Yohanna asaun Zabadi, alenge na iwadi ligowe nin Bitrus. Yesu woro Simon, “Ku na uwa lanza fiu ba, bara nenen udu ubun uba kifizu annit.”
and so were Simon's partners James and John, the sons of Zabdi.) But Jesus replied to Simon, "Fear not: from this time you shall be a catcher of men."
11 Kubi ko na inutuno tizirgi mine ndas, isuna imone vat idofin ghe.
Then, after bringing their boats to land, they left everything and followed Him.
12 Uwadi nani kubi, na awadi nanya nkan kupin nigbire, umong unit wa duku nin tikuturu. Na ayene Yesu ku, adio nbun mye adin nfoghe nacara aworo, “Cikilari assa uyinna uwasa ushino nin mye.”
On another occasion, when He was in one of the towns, there was a man there covered with leprosy, who, seeing Jesus, threw himself at His feet and implored Him, saying, "Sir, if only you are willing, you are able to make me clean."
13 Yesu nakpa ucara mye adudo ghe, a woroghe, “Meng nyinna. Shino.” Kitene tikuture tina tishino.
Reaching out His hand and touching him, Jesus said, "I am willing; be cleansed!" And instantly the leprosy left him.
14 A kpada ghe yenju awa bwllin umon, a woroghe, “Caanfi, udurso litife kiti npirist, caan udi ni uhadaya nwesu fe bara ubellun Musa, bara ushaida kiti mine.”
He ordered him to tell no one. "But go," He said, "show yourself to the Priest, and make the offering for your purification which Moses appointed, as evidence for them."
15 Uliru litime mala kiti piit, Ligozi nanit gbardang dah kitime nwonu ilanza ghe, ndursuzu nani nan nshizinu nin tikonu mine.
But all the more the report about Him spread abroad, and great multitudes crowded to hear Him and to be cured of their diseases;
16 Bara nani asuna nani apira nanya kusho usame, bara anan tah nliran.
but Jesus Himself constantly withdrew into the Desert and there prayed.
17 Iwa duku nlon liri na awadi ndursuzu nanit, a Farisiyawa na nan wucu kidegen wa duku, alle na iwa nucu niti ngangan nanya nmyin Ngalili a Uyahudiya nin kakpiri Urushalima. Agang Kutelle wadi litime nworo a shhizin nin nanit.
One day He was teaching, and there were Pharisees and teachers of the Law sitting there who had come from every village in Galilee and Judaea and from Jerusalem. And the power of the Lord was present for Him to cure people.
18 Nene amon annit da, nin nmong unan nkonu npenu nfunu, ipizira libau longo na iba dak ninghe kitin Yesu.
And a party of men came carrying a palsied man on a bed, and they endeavoured to bring him in and lay him before Jesus.
19 Na iwa se libau nworu Idamun ninghe ubun mye ba, bara ukullu kiti, ighana kitene fitulleri kutyie itoltunnghe kiyitik nanit nbun Yesu.
But when they could find no way of doing so because of the crowd, they went up on the roof and let him down through the tiling--bed and all--into the midst, in front of Jesus.
20 Na awa yene uyinnu mine sa uyenu a woro, “Ikusu alapi fe.”
He saw their faith and said to him, "Friend, your sins are forgiven."
21 Anan ninyerte nan na Farisawa icizina utiru iworo, “Ghari ule na adin tizogo? ghari nwasa awesu kulapi, nbanin Kutelle?”
Then the Scribes and Pharisees began to cavil, asking, "Who is this, uttering blasphemies? Who but God alone can forgive sins?"
22 Yesu wa yinin ukpilizu nibinai mine, a kauwa a woro nani, “Iyaghari ntah idi kpilizuwe nanya nibinai mine?
Well aware of their reasonings, Jesus answered their questions by asking in turn, "What is this that you are debating in your hearts?
23 Uyemeri dinin dedei nbellu, 'Iwese alapi fe sa fita ucinu?”
Which is easier? --to say, 'Your sins are forgiven,' or to say, 'Rise and walk'?
24 Bara inan yinno gonon nnit dinin likara nanya inyulele akusu kulapi, nworo fi, 'Fita uyiru kuppe, fe unya udu kilari.'”
But to prove to you that the Son of Man has authority on earth to forgive sins" --Turning to the paralytic He said, "I bid you, Rise, take up your bed, and go home."
25 Na nin mollu kubi ba nbun mine a fita a yauna kuppe mye na wa nnonku akpilla kilari mye adin nzazinu Kutelle.
Instantly he stood up in their presence, took up the mattress on which he had been lying, and went away to his home, giving glory to God.
26 Ko gha imone wa tighe zikiki izazina lisa Kutelle, fiu da nani iworo, “Tiyene imon ipese kitimone.”
Amazement seized them all. "Glory to God!" was the abiding feeling. Yet fear flashed through their minds and they said, "We have seen strange things to-day."
27 Na ile imone nkatah, Yesu nuzu kikane adi yene umon unan sesun ngandu lissa mye lawi, asosin kudanga nsesun ngandu mye, a woroghe, “Dofini.”
After this He went out and noticed a tax-gatherer, Levi by name, sitting at the Toll office; and He said to him, "Follow me."
28 Lawi suna vat imon ile na awa dumun adofinghe.
He rose, left everything, and followed Him.
29 Lawi yicila ubuki udiya kilari mye bara Yesu, anan sesun ngandu gbardang wa dak ku, among annit wa sosin nanghe idin leo ligowe kutebule.
Levi also gave a great entertainment at his house in honour of Jesus, and there was a large party of tax-gatherers and others at table with them.
30 Afarisiyawa nin nan ninyerte wadi ngondilu nbun nan nan kadura mye, iworo, “Iyaghari ntah idin lii nin nso na nan sesun ngandu ligowe na nan kulapi?”
This led the Pharisees and Scribes of their party to expostulate with His disciples and ask, "Why are you eating and drinking with these tax-gatherers and notorious sinners?"
31 Yesu kauwa nani, annit alenge na idi acine, na idinin su nnan nizu nkan ba, anan tikonuari cas dinin su nnan nkan.
But Jesus replied to them, "It is not men in good health who require a physician, but the sick.
32 Na ina dakk nyicila annit alau ba, ayicila anan kulapi ituba.”
I have not come to call the righteous to repentance, but sinners."
33 Inug bellinghe, “Nono kadura Yohanna asa itere tinu nin nliran, nono kadura na Farisiyawa asa isu nani inung nono kadura fe din nlii isono.”
Again they said to Him, "John's disciples fast often and pray, as do also those of the pharisees; but yours eat and drink."
34 Yesu woro nani, “Umon wasa aterunu kwanya tiyime yita nanghinu?”
"Can you compel the bridal party to fast," replied Jesus, "so long as they have the bridegroom among them?
35 Bara ayiri ba dak na iba da yiru kwanya tiyome, nanya naleli ayirere iba teru tinu.”
But a time for this will come, when the Bridegroom has been taken away from them: then, at that time, they will fast."
36 Yesu tutunn lira nanghinu nin tinan tigoldo, na umon wasa ayira kupari kupese avah kukuse mun ba, asa asu nani, aba jariu kuzeni kupese, kuzeni kupese wasa ado dert nin kukuse ba.
He also spoke in figurative language to them. "No one," He said, "tears a piece from a new garment to mend an old one. Otherwise he would not only spoil the new, but the patch from the new would not match the old.
37 Tutun na umon wasa ayira nmyen narua ata lisu likuse ba asa asu nani, nmyen narau mipese ba tutu nin lisuwe, nmyen narauwe mala kiti, linin lisuwe putto.
Nor does any one pour new wine into old wine-skins. Otherwise the new wine would burst the skins, the wine itself would be spilt, and the skins be destroyed.
38 Bara nmyen narau mipese, ibati minin nanya lisu lipese lilau.
But new wine must be put into fresh wineskins.
39 Na umon, asa asono nmyen narau mikuse, adin piziru mipese, bara aba woru, 'Mikuse katin.'”
Nor does any one after drinking old wine wish for new; for he says, 'The old is better.'"
