Luka 5
1 Anih Gennesaret tui kangbuem taengah angdoet naah, Sithaw lok tahngai hanah paroeai kaminawk anih taengah caeh o,
Once, when the people were pressing round Jesus as they listened to God’s message, he happened to be standing by the shore of the Lake of Gennesaret, and saw two boats close to the shore.
2 tanga naeh kaminawk loe palok pasuk hanah caeh o, nihcae mah caehtaak sut ih tui taengah kaom palong hnetto a hnuk.
The fishermen had gone away from them and were washing the nets.
3 Anih loe palong maeto thungah akunh, to palong loe Simon ih palong ah oh, anih mahSimon khaeah palong tui thungah tanawt kue ah, tiah a naa. Anih loe anghnut moe, palong thungah pop parai kaminawk to patuk.
So, getting into one of the boats, which belonged to Simon, Jesus asked him to push off a little way from the shore, and then sat down and taught the people from the boat.
4 Lok a thuih pacoengah, anih mah Simon khaeah, Tanga naeh hanah, kathuk tui thungah palok to haeng ah, tiah a naa.
When he had finished speaking, he said to Simon, ‘Push off into deep water, and throw out your nets for a haul.’
5 Simon mah anih khaeah, Angraeng, qum puek ka haeng o boeh, tidoeh ka naeh o ai: toe na lok baktih toengah, ka haengh han, tiah a naa.
‘We have been hard at work all night, Sir,’ answered Simon, ‘and have not caught anything, but, at your bidding, I will throw out the nets.’
6 A lok baktih toengah a sak o naah, palok angsik duih khoek to pop parai tanga to a naeh o.
They did so, and enclosed such a great shoal of fish that their nets began to break.
7 Nihcae khaeah caeh moe, abomh o hanah, kalah palong thungah kaom angmacae ih ampuinawk to a kawk o. Nihcae angzoh o moe, tui angbuek duih khoek to palong hnetto kakoi ah tanga to a naeh o.
So they signalled to their partners in the other boat to come and help them; and they came and filled both the boats so full of fish that they were almost sinking.
8 To tiah kaom to Simon Piter mah hnuk naah, Jesu khokkung ah cangkrawn moe, Angraeng, na caehtaak ah, kai loe kami kazae ni, tiah a naa.
When Simon Peter saw this, he threw himself down at Jesus’ knees, exclaiming, ‘Master, leave me, for I am a sinful man!’
9 Tanga pop parai ah a naeh o pongah, Piter hoi nawnto kaom kaminawk boih dawnrai o:
For he and all who were with him were lost in amazement at the haul of fish which they had made;
10 Simon ih ampui, Zebedee ih caa Jakob hoi Johan doeh dawnrai hoi toeng. Jesu mah Simon khaeah, Zii hmah; vaihi hoi kamtong kami naehkung ah na om tih, tiah a naa.
and so, too, were James and John, Zebedee’s sons, who were Simon’s partners. ‘Do not be afraid,’ Jesus said to Simon, ‘from today you will catch people.’
11 palong to tuicing bangah zaeh o moe, hmuenmaenawk a caeh o taak boih pacoengah, anih hnukah bang o.
And, when they had brought their boats to shore, they left everything, and followed him.
12 Anih vangpui maeto thungah oh naah, khenah, ngansae man kami maeto mah Jesu to hnuk naah, a hmaa ah tabok moe, Angraeng, na koeh nahaeloe, na ciimcaisak ah, tiah tahmenhaih hnik.
On one occasion Jesus was staying in a town, when he saw a man who was covered with leprosy. When the leper saw Jesus, he threw himself on his face and implored his help, ‘Master, if only you are willing, you are able to make me clean.’
13 Jesu mah ban payangh moe, to kami to sui, Ka koeh: ciimcai lai ah, tiah a naa. Akra ai ah ngansae nathaih to hoih pae roep.
Stretching out his hand, Jesus touched him, saying as he did so, ‘I am willing; become clean.’ Instantly the leprosy left the man;
14 Jesu mah anih khaeahmi khaeah doeh thui hmah. Toe Mosi ih kaalok baktih toengah caeh ah loe, qaima khaeah patuek ah, ciimcai boeh, tiah nihcae mah panoek o thai hanah, hmuenpaekhaih to sah ah, tiah a naa.
and then Jesus impressed on him that he was not to say a word to anyone, ‘but,’ he added, ‘set out and show yourself to the priest, and make the offerings for your cleansing, in the manner directed by Moses, as evidence of your cure.’
15 Toe anih ih tamthang loe amthang aep aep: to pongah anih ih lok to tahngaih moe, nihcae nathaih hoisak hanah, paroeai kaminawk anih khaeah nawnto angzoh o.
However, the story about Jesus spread all the more, and great crowds came together to listen to him, and to be cured of their illnesses;
16 Anih loe praezaek ah caeh moe, lawk a thuih.
but Jesus used to withdraw to lonely places and pray.
17 Nito naah, anih mah patuk nathuem ah, Kalili prae, Judea prae hoi Jerusalem vangpui ah kaom, Farasinawk hoi ca tarik kaminawk anih taengah anghnut o: to naah nihcae ngantuisak hanah Angraeng thacakhaih to amtueng.
On one of those days, when Jesus was teaching, some Pharisees and Doctors of the Law were sitting near by. (They had come from all the villages in Galilee and Judea, and from Jerusalem; and the power of the Lord was on Jesus, so that he could work cures.)
18 Khenah, khok ban angtawt thai ai kami maeto kahni hoi ayaw o moe, anih khaeah caeh o haih, to kami to a thungah akun o haih moe, Anih hmaa ah suek hanah a poek o.
And there some men brought on a bed a man who was paralysed. They tried to get him in and lay him before Jesus;
19 Kami pop parai moe, a thungah akunhaih loklam hnu o ai pongah, imphu nuiah dawh o moe, imphu to phraek o pacoengah, nganna kami to iihkhun hoi nawnto kaminawk salak hoiah Jesu hmaa ah pakhrak o.
but, finding no way of getting him in owing to the crowd, they went up on the roof and lowered him through the tiles, with his pallet, into the middle of the people and in front of Jesus.
20 Jesu mah nihcae tanghaih to hnuk naah, nganna kami khaeah, Ampui, na zaehaihnawk loe tahmen boeh, tiah a naa.
When he saw their faith, Jesus said, ‘Friend, your sins have been forgiven you.’
21 To naah ca tarik kami hoi Farasinawk mah, Hae tiah Sithaw ahmin kasae thui kami loe mi aa? Sithaw khue ai ah loe, mi mah maw zaehaihnawk to tahmen thai tih, tiah a poek o.
The teachers of the Law and the Pharisees began debating about this. ‘Who is this man who speaks so blasphemously?’ they asked. ‘Who can forgive sins except God?’
22 Jesu mah nihcae poekhaihnawk to panoek pae naah, Anih mah nihcae khaeah, Palung thungah timaw na poek o?
When Jesus became aware of the way in which they were debating, he turned to them and exclaimed, ‘What are you debating with yourselves?
23 Na zaehaihnawk loe tahmen boeh, tiah thuih hae maw kazoi kue, to tih ai boeh loe Angthawk ah loe caeh lai ah, tiah thuih ih?
Which is the easier? – to say “Your sins have been forgiven you”? Or to say “Get up, and walk”?
24 Toe kami Capa loe long nuiah zaehaihnawk to tahmen hanah thacakhaih to tawnh, tiah na panoek o thai hanah, (khokban angtawt thai ai kami khaeah, ) Angthawk ah, nangmah ih kahni to la ah loe, nangmah im ah caeh lai ah, tiah lok kang paek, tiah a naa.
But so that you may know that the Son of Man has power on earth to forgive sins’ – he spoke to the paralysed man – ‘To you I say, Get up, and take up your pallet, and go to your home.’
25 Anih loe nihcae hmaa ah angthawk roep, angmah baih ih kahni to a lak moe, Sithaw pakoehhaih hoiah angmah im ah amlaem.
Instantly the man stood up before their eyes, took up what he had been lying on, and went to his home, praising God.
26 Nihcae boih dawnrai o moe, Sithaw to saphaw o, zithaih hoiah koi o, aicae mah vaihniah dawnrai hmuen a hnuk o boeh, tiah a thuih o.
The people, one and all, were lost in amazement, and praised God; and in great awe they said, ‘We have seen marvellous things today!’
27 Hae tiah oh pacoengah anih loe caeh moe, Levi tiah ahmin kaom, phoisa conghaih ahmuen ah kanghnu, tamut cong kami maeto a hnuk, to naah anih khaeah Ka hnukah bangah, tiah a naa.
After this, Jesus went out; and he noticed a tax-gatherer, named Levi, sitting in the tax office, and said to him, ‘Follow me.’
28 Levi loe angthawk moe, hmuenmaenawk caehtaak boih pacoengah, anih hnukah bang.
Levi left everything and got up and followed him.
29 Levi mah Jesu hanah angmah ih im ah kalen parai poih to a sak pae: pop parai tamut cong kaminawk hoi kalah kaminawk doeh nihcae hoi nawnto anghnut o toeng.
And Levi gave a great banquet at his house, in honour of Jesus; and a large number of tax collectors and others were having dinner with them.
30 Ca tarik kami hoi Farasinawk mah a hnukbang kaminawk khaeah laisaep o thuih, Tikhoe tamut cong kaminawk, kazae kaminawk hoiah buh nawnto na caak o loe? tiah a naa o.
The Pharisees and the teachers of the Law belonging to their party complained of this to the disciples of Jesus.
31 Jesu mah nihcae khaeah, Ngantui kaminawk loe tuisi kop kami angai ai; nganna kaminawk mah ni angaih, tiah a naa.
In answer Jesus said, ‘It is not those who are well who need a doctor, but those who are ill.
32 Kai loe katoeng kami kawk hanah kang zo ai, kazae kaminawk dawnpakhuem hanah ni kang zoh, tiah a naa.
I have not come to call the religious, but the outcast, to repent.’
33 Nihcae mah Jesu khaeah, Johan hnukbang kaminawk loe buh zah o moe, lawkthuih o toepsoep, to baktih toengah Farasi hnuk bang kaminawk doeh buh zah o toeng, toe na hnukbang kaminawk loe a naek o moe, a caak o, tiah a naa.
‘John’s disciples,’ they said to Jesus, ‘Often fast and say prayers, and so do the disciples of the Pharisees, while yours are eating and drinking!’
34 Anih mah nihcae khaeah, Zu la kami oh nathuem ah, anih ih ampuinawk to buh na zah o sak han maw?
But Jesus answered them, ‘Can you make the groom’s friends fast while the groom is with them?
35 Toe zu la kami lak vinghaih atue to pha tih, to naah nihcae mah buh to zaa o tih, tiah a naa.
But the days will come – a time when the groom will be taken away from them; and they will fast then, when those days come.’
36 Nihcae khaeah patahhaih lok hoiah doeh a thuih pae; mi mah doeh kahni kangtha to kangquem nuiah abu vai ai; abu nahaeloe kangtha mah angsik sak aep tih, kahni kangtha hoi kangquem abu nahaeloe khet amcuk mak ai.
Then, as an illustration, Jesus said to them, ‘No one ever tears a piece from a new garment and puts it on an old one; for, if they do, they will not only tear the new garment, but the piece from the new one will not match the old.
37 Mi mah doeh misurtui kangtha to pailang kangquem pongah suem vai ai; suem nahaeloe misurtui kangtha mah pailang kangquem to tapoksak ueloe, misurtui to amsah tih, pailang doeh amro boih tih.
And no one puts new wine into old wine-skins; for, if they do, the new wine will burst the skins, and the wine itself will run out, and the skins be lost.
38 Misurtui kangtha loe pailang kangtha pongah suek han oh; to tiah ni amro ai ah suem hmaek thai tih.
But new wine must be put into fresh skins.
39 Kaminawk mah misurtui kangquem loe hoih kue, tiah thuih o baktih toengah, mi mah doeh misurtui kangquem naek pacoengah misurtui kangtha naek hanah koeh o ai boeh, tiah a naa.
No one after drinking old wine wishes for new. “No,” they say, “the old is excellent.”’
