Luke 5
1 Hypoet taw Bawipa Jesu ce thlang kqeng mi Genesaret tuili keng awh dyi hy, cawh thlang kqeng ing Khawsak awi ce ngai uhy,
Once, when the people were pressing around 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 tui keng awh ngak hawikhqi ing a mi taak hyt lawng pakkhih ce hu hy, ngak hawikhqi taw a mi lawk chuk uhy.
The fishermen had gone away from them and were washing the nets.
3 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.
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 Awi ak kqawn boeih coengawh, Simon venawh, “Tuili dung na thoeih nawh lawk ce khawng lah,” tina hy.
When he had finished speaking, he said to Simon, “Push off into deep water, and throw out your nets for a haul.”
5 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.
“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 Lawk ce amik khawng awhtaw, nga khawzah tu unawh lawk ce teek pit pit hy.
They did so, and enclosed such a great shoal of fish that their nets began to break.
7 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.
So they signaled 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 Simon Piter ing a huh awh, Jesu a khawkung awh khuk sym doena, “Bawipa, ni cehtaak mai, thlak thawlh na awm nyng,” tina hy.
When Simon Peter saw this, he threw himself down at Jesus’ knees, exclaiming, “Master, leave me, for I am a sinful man!”
9 Nga a mim tu awh Piter ingkaw a pyikhqi ce a mik kawpoek kyi hy,
For he and all who were with him were lost in amazement at the haul of fish which they had made;
10 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.
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 Lawng ce kawngceng na amik dawh coengawh, ik-oeih boeih ce cehta unawh a hu awh bat uhy.
And, when they had brought their boats to shore, they left everything, and followed him.
12 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.
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 ing a kut zyng nawh bi hy. “Ngaih nyng, qoei hlah!” tina hy. Cawh a mynqai ce caih pahoei hy.
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 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.
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 Cehlai anih akawng ce thang khqoet hy, cedawngawh ak awi ngai ham ingkaw tlawhnaak qoei sak aham thlangkhqi ce law uhy.
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 Cehlai Jesu taw a dingnaak na amah doeng cet poepa nawh cykcah hy.
but Jesus used to withdraw to lonely places and pray.
17 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.
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 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.
And there some men brought on a bed a man who was paralyzed. They tried to get him in and lay him before Jesus;
19 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.
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 A mingmih ak cangnaak ce Jesu ing a huh awh, “Thlang pa aw, na thawlhnaak ce qeenna awm hawh hy,” tina hy.
When he saw their faith, Jesus said, “Friend, your sins have been forgiven you.”
21 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.
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 A mingmih ak kawpoek ce Jesu ing sim pe khqi nawh, “Ikawtih cemyihna namik kawlung khuiawh namik poek uh?
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 Han nu ak zoei bet: 'Na thawlh qeenna awm hawh hy,' tive nu, am awhtaw 'Tho nawh cet hlah,' tive nu?
Which is the easier? – to say ‘Your sins have been forgiven you’? Or to say ‘Get up, and walk’?
24 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.
But so that you may know that the Son of Man has power on earth to forgive sins” – he spoke to the paralyzed man – “To you I say, Get up, and take up your pallet, and go to your home.”
25 A mingmih haiawh ce dyi pahoei nawh, a hiphaih ce a lawh coengawh Khawsa kyihcah doena im na ce cet hy.
Instantly the man stood up before their eyes, took up what he had been lying on, and went to his home, praising God.
26 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.
The people, one and all, were lost in amazement, and praised God; and in great awe they said, “We have seen marvelous things today!”
27 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.
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 ce tho nawh ik-oeihkhqi ce a cehtaak coengawh a hu awh bat hy.
Levi left everything and got up and followed him.
29 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.
And Levi gave a great banquet at his house, in honor of Jesus; and a large number of tax collectors and others were having dinner with them.
30 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.
The Pharisees and the teachers of the Law belonging to their party complained of this to the disciples of Jesus.
31 Jesu ing, “Sakdip thlang ing siboei am ngoe hy, cehlai thlak tlo ing ni a ngoe.
In answer Jesus said, “It is not those who are well who need a doctor, but those who are ill.
32 Thlak dyng khy aham am law nyng, thlak thawlh a zutnaak aham ni ka law,” tinak khqi hy.
I have not come to call the religious, but the outcast, to repent.”
33 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.
“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 Jesu ing, “Zuk lokung a awm khuiawh ak khinkhqi buh namik zeih hly sak nu?
But Jesus answered them, “Can you make the groom’s friends fast while the groom is with them?
35 Cehlai zuk lokung lawh peek valhnaak a tym ce pha kaw; cawh buh zeih bit kawm uh,” tinak khqi hy.
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 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.
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 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.
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 Cedawngawh misur tui ak thai taw cikthlyng ak thai awh thun aham awm hy.
But new wine must be put into fresh skins.
39 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.
No one after drinking old wine wishes for new. ‘No,’ they say, ‘the old is excellent.’”
