Luke 5
1 On one occasion, while Jesus was standing by the Lake of Gennesaret with the crowd pressing in on Him to hear the word of God,
Tsiku lina Yesu anayima mʼmbali mwa nyanja ya Genesareti, gulu la anthu litamuzungulira likumvetsera mawu a Mulungu.
2 He saw two boats at the edge of the lake. The fishermen had left them and were washing their nets.
Iye anaona mabwato awiri ali mʼmphepete mwa nyanja, asodzi amene ankachapa makhoka awo atawasiya pamenepo.
3 Jesus got into the boat belonging to Simon and asked him to put out a little from shore. And sitting down, He taught the people from the boat.
Iye analowa mʼbwato limodzi limene linali la Simoni, ndi kumupempha kuti alikankhire mʼkati mwa nyanja pangʼono. Kenaka Iye anakhala pansi nayamba kuphunzitsa anthu ali mʼbwatomo.
4 When Jesus had finished speaking, He said to Simon, “Put out into deep water and let down your nets for a catch.”
Atatha kuyankhula anati kwa Simoni, “Kankhirani kwa kuya ndipo muponye makhoka kuti mugwire nsomba.”
5 “Master,” Simon replied, “we have worked hard all night without catching anything. But because You say so, I will let down the nets.”
Simoni anayankha kuti, “Ambuye, tagwira ntchito molimbika usiku wonse, koma sitinagwire kanthu. Koma pakuti mwatero, ndiponya makhoka.”
6 When they had done so, they caught such a large number of fish that their nets began to tear.
Atachita izi, anagwira nsomba zambiri kotero kuti makhoka awo anayamba kungʼambika.
7 So they signaled to their partners in the other boat to come and help them, and they came and filled both boats so full that they began to sink.
Choncho anakodola anzawo a bwato linalo kuti abwere ndi kuwathandiza, ndipo anabwera nadzaza mabwato onse awiri mpaka kuyamba kumira.
8 When Simon Peter saw this, he fell at Jesus’ knees. “Go away from me, Lord,” he said, “for I am a sinful man.”
Simoni Petro ataona izi, anagwa pa mawondo a Yesu nati, “Chokani kwa ine Ambuye: Ine ndine munthu wochimwa!”
9 For he and his companions were astonished at the catch of fish they had taken,
Iye ndi anzake onse anadabwa ndi nsomba zimene anagwira,
10 and so were his partners James and John, the sons of Zebedee. “Do not be afraid,” Jesus said to Simon. “From now on you will catch men.”
chimodzimodzinso Yakobo ndi Yohane, ana a Zebedayo, anzake a Simoniyo. Kenaka Yesu anati kwa Simoni, “Musachite mantha; kuyambira tsopano ndidzakusandutsani asodzi a anthu.”
11 And when they had brought their boats ashore, they left everything and followed Him.
Kenaka anakokera mabwato awo ku mtunda, nasiya zonse namutsata Iye.
12 While Jesus was in one of the towns, a man came along who was covered with leprosy. When he saw Jesus, he fell facedown and begged Him, “Lord, if You are willing, You can make me clean.”
Yesu ali ku mudzi wina, munthu amene anali ndi khate thupi lonse anabwera kwa Iye. Munthuyo ataona Yesu, anagwa chafufumimba ndipo anamupempha Iye kuti, “Ambuye, ngati mukufuna, mukhoza kundiyeretsa.”
13 Jesus reached out His hand and touched the man. “I am willing,” He said. “Be clean!” And immediately the leprosy left him.
Yesu anatambasula dzanja lake namukhudza munthuyo. Iye anati, “Ine ndikufuna, yeretsedwa!” Ndipo nthawi yomweyo khate lake linachoka.
14 “Do not tell anyone,” Jesus instructed him. “But go, show yourself to the priest and present the offering Moses prescribed for your cleansing, as a testimony to them.”
Kenaka Yesu anamulamula kuti, “Usawuze wina aliyense, koma pita, kadzionetse kwa wansembe ndi kukapereka nsembe zimene Mose anakulamulirani za kuyeretsedwa kwanu monga umboni kwa iwo.”
15 But the news about Jesus spread all the more, and great crowds came to hear Him and to be healed of their sicknesses.
Koma mbiri yake inafalikirabe kwambiri kotero kuti magulu a anthu anabwera kudzamvetsera ndi kuti achiritsidwe ku matenda awo.
16 Yet He frequently withdrew to the wilderness to pray.
Koma Yesu nthawi zambiri ankachoka kupita ku malo a yekha kukapemphera.
17 One day Jesus was teaching, and the Pharisees and teachers of the law were sitting there. People had come from Jerusalem and from every village of Galilee and Judea, and the power of the Lord was present for Him to heal the sick.
Tsiku lina pamene ankaphunzitsa, Afarisi ndi aphunzitsi amalamulo, amene anachokera ku midzi yonse ya Galileya ndi ku Yudeya ndi Yerusalemu, anakhala pansi pomwepo. Ndipo mphamvu ya Ambuye inalipo yakuti Iye achiritse odwala.
18 Just then some men came carrying a paralyzed man on a mat. They tried to bring him inside to set him before Jesus,
Amuna ena anabwera atanyamula munthu wofa ziwalo pa mphasa ndipo anayesa kumulowetsa mʼnyumba kuti amugoneke pamaso pa Yesu.
19 but they could not find a way through the crowd. So they went up on the roof and lowered him on his mat through the tiles into the middle of the crowd, right in front of Jesus.
Atalephera kupeza njira yochitira zimenezi chifukwa cha gulu la anthu, anakwera naye pa denga ali pa mphasa pomwepo ndi kumutsitsira mʼkati pakati pa gulu la anthu, patsogolo penipeni pa Yesu.
20 When Jesus saw their faith, He said, “Friend, your sins are forgiven.”
Yesu ataona chikhulupiriro chawo, anati, “Mnzanga, machimo ako akhululukidwa.”
21 But the scribes and Pharisees began thinking to themselves, “Who is this man who speaks blasphemy? Who can forgive sins but God alone?”
Afarisi ndi aphunzitsi amalamulo anayamba kuganiza mwa iwo okha kuti, “Kodi munthu uyu ndi ndani amene ayankhula zamwano? Kodi ndani amene angakhululukire machimo kupatula Mulungu?”
22 Knowing what they were thinking, Jesus replied, “Why are you thinking these things in your hearts?
Yesu anadziwa zomwe iwo amaganiza ndipo anafunsa kuti, “Kodi ndi chifukwa chiyani mukuganiza zimenezi mʼmitima mwanu?
23 Which is easier: to say, ‘Your sins are forgiven,’ or to say, ‘Get up and walk?’
Kodi chapafupi ndi chiti: kunena kuti, ‘Machimo ako akhululukidwa,’ kapena kunena kuti, ‘Nyamuka ndipo yenda?’”
24 But so that you may know that the Son of Man has authority on the earth to forgive sins...” He said to the paralytic, “I tell you, get up, pick up your mat, and go home.”
Koma kuti inu mudziwe kuti Mwana wa Munthu ali ndi ulamuliro pa dziko lapansi wokhululukira machimo, Iye anati kwa munthu wofa ziwaloyo, “Ine ndikuwuza iwe kuti, ‘Imirira, nyamula mphasa ndipo uzipita kwanu.’”
25 And immediately the man stood up before them, took what he had been lying on, and went home glorifying God.
Nthawi yomweyo anayimirira patsogolo pawo, nanyamula mphasa yake ndipo anapita kwawo akuyamika Mulungu.
26 Everyone was taken with amazement and glorified God. They were filled with awe and said, “We have seen remarkable things today.”
Aliyense anadabwa ndi kuchita mantha ndipo anayamika Mulungu. Iwo anadabwa kwambiri ndipo anati, “Lero taona zinthu zosayiwalika.”
27 After this, Jesus went out and saw a tax collector named Levi sitting at the tax booth. “Follow Me,” He told him,
Zitatha izi, Yesu anachoka ndipo anaona wolandira msonkho dzina lake Levi atakhala mʼnyumba ya msonkho. Yesu anati kwa iye, “Nditsate Ine.”
28 and Levi got up, left everything, and followed Him.
Ndipo Levi anayimirira, nasiya zonse ndi kumutsata Iye.
29 Then Levi hosted a great banquet for Jesus at his house. A large crowd of tax collectors was there, along with others who were eating with them.
Kenaka Levi anakonzera Yesu phwando lalikulu ku nyumba yake ndipo gulu lalikulu la amisonkho ndi ena ankadya naye pamodzi.
30 But the Pharisees and their scribes complained to Jesus’ disciples, “Why do you eat and drink with tax collectors and sinners?”
Koma Afarisi ndi aphunzitsi amalamulo amene anali a gulu lawo anadandaula kwa ophunzira ake, “Kodi ndi chifukwa chiyani mukudya ndi kumwa pamodzi ndi amisonkho ndi ochimwa?”
31 Jesus answered, “It is not the healthy who need a doctor, but the sick.
Yesu anawayankha kuti, “Amene sakudwala safuna singʼanga, koma odwala.
32 I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners, to repentance.”
Ine sindinabwere kudzayitana olungama, koma ochimwa kuti atembenuke mtima.”
33 Then they said to Him, “John’s disciples and those of the Pharisees frequently fast and pray, but Yours keep on eating and drinking.”
Iwo anati kwa Iye, “Ophunzira a Yohane amasala kudya ndi kupemphera kawirikawiri, monganso ophunzira a Afarisi, koma anu amangodya ndi kumwa.”
34 Jesus replied, “Can you make the guests of the bridegroom fast while He is with them?
Yesu anawayankha kuti, “Kodi alendo a mkwati angasale kudya pamene mkwati ali pakati pawo?
35 But the time will come when the bridegroom will be taken from them; then they will fast.”
Koma nthawi ikubwera pamene mkwati adzachotsedwa pakati pawo. Masiku amenewo adzasala kudya.”
36 He also told them a parable: “No one tears a piece of cloth from a new garment and sews it on an old one. If he does, he will tear the new garment as well, and the patch from the new will not match the old.
Iye anawawuza fanizo ili: “Palibe amene amangʼamba chigamba kuchokera pa chovala chatsopano ndi kuchisokerera pa chakale. Ngati atatero, ndiye kuti adzangʼamba chovala chatsopanocho, ndipo chigamba chochokera pa chovala chatsopano chija sichidzagwirizana ndi chakale.
37 And no one pours new wine into old wineskins. If he does, the new wine will burst the skins, the wine will spill, and the wineskins will be ruined.
Ndipo palibe amene amakhuthulira vinyo watsopano mʼmatumba a vinyo akale. Ngati atatero, vinyo watsopanoyo adzaphulitsa zikopazo, vinyo adzatayika ndipo zikopa za vinyozo zidzawonongeka.
38 Instead, new wine is poured into new wineskins.
Ayi, vinyo watsopano ayenera kuthiridwa mʼmatumba a vinyo azikopa zatsopano.
39 And no one after drinking old wine wants new, for he says, ‘The old is better.’”
Ndipo palibe amene atamwa vinyo wakale amafuna watsopano, pakuti amati, ‘Wakale ndi okoma.’”
