< 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,
AND it was while the assembly gathered upon him to hear the word of Aloha, he stood upon the bank of the sea of Genesar;
2 He saw two boats at the edge of the lake. The fishermen had left them and were washing their nets.
and he saw two vessels standing by the sea-side, and the fishermen who had gone up from them, and were washing their nets.
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.
And one of them was of Shemun Kipha; and Jeshu ascended, sat in it, and directed that they should take it a little from the land into the waters; and he sat, and taught the multitudes from the vessel.
4 When Jesus had finished speaking, He said to Simon, “Put out into deep water and let down your nets for a catch.”
And when he was silent from his discourses, he said to Shemun, Lead into the deep, and cast forth your nets for a draught.
5 “Master,” Simon replied, “we have worked hard all night without catching anything. But because You say so, I will let down the nets.”
Shemun answered and said to him, Rabi, the whole night we have laboured and nothing have we taken; but at thy word I throw the net.
6 When they had done so, they caught such a large number of fish that their nets began to tear.
And when they had this done, they enclosed great multitudes of fishes, and their net brake.
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.
And they signed to their companions, who were in another vessel, to come and help them. And when they had come, they filled those two vessels, so that they were nigh to be swallowed up.
8 When Simon Peter saw this, he fell at Jesus’ knees. “Go away from me, Lord,” he said, “for I am a sinful man.”
But when Shemun Kipha saw, he fell before the feet of Jeshu and said to him, I pray from thee, my Lord, remove thee from me, for I am a man a sinner.
9 For he and his companions were astonished at the catch of fish they had taken,
For amazement had seized him, and all who were with him, on account of the draught of fishes which they had taken.
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.”
Even so also Jacub and Juchanon, sons of Zabdai, who were partners of Shemun. But Jeshu said, Fear not, from henceforth the sons of men shalt thou catch unto life.
11 And when they had brought their boats ashore, they left everything and followed Him.
And they brought the vessels to land, and forsook every thing, and went after him.
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.”
AND when Jeshu was in one of the cities, there came a certain man who was wholly filled with leprosy; he saw Jeshu, and fell upon his face, and prayed of him, and said to him, My Lord, if thou art willing, thou canst make me clean.
13 Jesus reached out His hand and touched the man. “I am willing,” He said. “Be clean!” And immediately the leprosy left him.
And Jeshu extended his hand, touched him, and said to him, I am willing; be clean. And in an instant his leprosy went from him.
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.”
And he commanded him, Tell no man, but go show thyself to the priests, and offer the oblation for thy cleansing, as Musha ordained for their testimony.
15 But the news about Jesus spread all the more, and great crowds came to hear Him and to be healed of their sicknesses.
And the fame concerning him went forth the more, and much people were gathered together to hear him and to be healed from their diseases.
16 Yet He frequently withdrew to the wilderness to pray.
And he passed away into the desert, and prayed.
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.
And it was on one of the days, while Jeshu was teaching, (certain) Pharishee and doctors of the law were sitting. And they had come from all the villages of Galila and of Jehud, and from Urishlem: and the power of the Lord was (there) to heal them.
18 Just then some men came carrying a paralyzed man on a mat. They tried to bring him inside to set him before Jesus,
And some brought on a couch a certain man a paralytic; and they sought to enter, that they might set him before him.
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.
And when they found not how to bring him in because of the multitude of people, they ascended to the house-top, and sent him with his couch from the roof into the midst before Jeshu.
20 When Jesus saw their faith, He said, “Friend, your sins are forgiven.”
And when Jeshu saw their faith, he said to the paralytic, Man, forgiven to thee are thy sins.
21 But the scribes and Pharisees began thinking to themselves, “Who is this man who speaks blasphemy? Who can forgive sins but God alone?”
And the Sophree and Pharishee began to reason and to say, Who is this who speaketh blasphemy? Who can forgive sins but Aloha only?
22 Knowing what they were thinking, Jesus replied, “Why are you thinking these things in your hearts?
But Jeshu knew their reasoning, and said to them, What reason you in your hearts?
23 Which is easier: to say, ‘Your sins are forgiven,’ or to say, ‘Get up and walk?’
Which is easier, to say, Forgiven to thee are thy sins; or to say, Arise, walk?
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.”
But that you may know that authority hath the Son of man in the earth to forgive sins, -he saith to the paralytic, -To thee I say, Arise, take up thy couch, and go to thine house.
25 And immediately the man stood up before them, took what he had been lying on, and went home glorifying God.
And immediately he arose before them, and took up his couch, and went to his house, glorifying Aloha.
26 Everyone was taken with amazement and glorified God. They were filled with awe and said, “We have seen remarkable things today.”
And amazement held every man; and they glorified Aloha, and were filled with fear, saying, We have seen today wonders.
27 After this, Jesus went out and saw a tax collector named Levi sitting at the tax booth. “Follow Me,” He told him,
After these things Jeshu went forth, and saw a tribute-taker, whose name was Levi, sitting at the house of tribute. And he said to him, Come after me:
28 and Levi got up, left everything, and followed Him.
and he left every thing, and arose, and went after him.
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.
And Levi made in his house a great feast; and there was a large company of tribute-takers, and of others that reclined with them.
30 But the Pharisees and their scribes complained to Jesus’ disciples, “Why do you eat and drink with tax collectors and sinners?”
And the Sophree and Pharishee murmured, saying to his disciples, Why with tribute-takers and sinners eat you and drink?
31 Jesus answered, “It is not the healthy who need a doctor, but the sick.
Jeshu answered and said to them, The whole do not require the physician, but they who are grievously ill.
32 I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners, to repentance.”
I am not come to call the just, but the sinners, to repentance.
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.”
But they say to him, Why do the disciples of Juchanon constantly fast, and pray also as the Pharishee, but thine eat and drink?
34 Jesus replied, “Can you make the guests of the bridegroom fast while He is with them?
But he said to them, How can you make the sons of the chamber fast, while the bridegroom is with them?
35 But the time will come when the bridegroom will be taken from them; then they will fast.”
But the days will come when the bridegroom will be taken up from them: then shall they fast in those days.
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.
He spake to them a parable: No man cutteth a piece from a new material, and fasteneth it upon an old garment; lest he rend the new, without completing the old with the piece that is new.
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.
And no man poureth new wine into old bottles; lest the new wine burst forth, and the wine be shed, and the bottles perish.
38 Instead, new wine is poured into new wineskins.
But they pour new wine into new bottles, and both are preserved.
39 And no one after drinking old wine wants new, for he says, ‘The old is better.’”
And no man, drinking old wine, immediately asketh new: for he saith, The old is softer.
