Luke 5
1 And it came to pass, as the crowd pressed on him to hear the word of God, that he was standing by the lake of Gennesaret:
Otu oge, ka Jisọs guzo nʼakụkụ ọdọ mmiri Genesaret. Igwe mmadụ gbara ya gburugburu ka ha nụrụ okwu Chineke.
2 and he saw two ships standing by the lake, but the fishermen, having come down from them, were washing their nets.
Ọ hụrụ nʼọnụ mmiri ahụ, ụgbọ mmiri abụọ nke ndị ọkụ azụ nwe ha hapụrụ gaa ịsa ụgbụ ha ji egbu azụ.
3 And getting into one of the ships, which was Simon's, he asked him to draw out a little from the land; and he sat down and taught the crowds out of the ship.
Ọ banyere nʼime otu ụgbọ mmiri ndị ahụ, nke bụ nke Saimọn, ọ rịọrọ ya ka ọ kwọrọ ya banyetụ ntakịrị nʼime mmiri. Ọ nọdụrụ ala nʼime ya bido na-ezi igwe mmadụ ihe.
4 But when he ceased speaking, he said to Simon, Draw out into the deep [water] and let down your nets for a haul.
Mgbe o kwusiri okwu, ọ gwara Saimọn sị, “Banyetụkwuo nʼime mmiri, tụnye ụgbụ gị ka i gbute azụ.”
5 And Simon answering said to him, Master, having laboured through the whole night we have taken nothing, but at thy word I will let down the net.
Saimọn zara sị, “Nna anyị ukwuu, anyị rụsịrị ọrụ ike abalị niile na-egbutaghị ihe ọbụla, ma otu i sịrị kwuo, aga m awụnye ụgbụ azụ niile.”
6 And having done this, they enclosed a great multitude of fishes. And their net broke.
Mgbe ha mere nke a, ha gbutere ọtụtụ azụ nke mere na ụgbụ azụ ha malitere ịdọkasị.
7 And they beckoned to their partners who were in the other ship to come and help them, and they came, and filled both the ships, so that they were sinking.
Ha kpọrọ ndị ọkụ azụ ibe ha nọ nʼụgbọ mmiri ọzọ ka ha bịa nyere ha aka. Ha bịara kpojuo azụ nʼụgbọ mmiri abụọ ahụ nke malitere imikpu.
8 But Simon Peter, seeing it, fell at Jesus' knees, saying, Depart from me, for I am a sinful man, Lord.
Ma mgbe Saimọn Pita hụrụ nke a, ọ dara nʼukwu Jisọs sị, “Si nʼebe m nọ pụọ, Onyenwe m, nʼihi na abụ m onye mmehie.”
9 For astonishment had laid hold on him, and on all those who were with him, at the haul of fishes which they had taken;
Nʼihi na o juru ya na ndị ya na ha so anya ịhụ ọtụtụ azụ ndị a ha gbutere.
10 and in like manner also on James and John, sons of Zebedee, who were partners with Simon. And Jesus said to Simon, Fear not; henceforth thou shalt be catching men.
Ọ bụladị Jemis na Jọn ụmụ Zebedi, ndị ha na Saimọn na-arụkọ ọrụ, ka ihe a jukwara anya. Mgbe ahụ Jisọs gwara Saimọn sị, “Atụla egwu, nʼihi na site ugbu a gaa nʼihu, ị ga na-akụta mmadụ.”
11 And having run the ships on shore, leaving all they followed him.
Mgbe ha kwọpụtara ụgbọ mmiri ha nʼelu ala, ha hapụrụ ihe niile soro ya.
12 And it came to pass as he was in one of the cities, that behold, there was a man full of leprosy, and seeing Jesus, falling upon his face, he besought him saying, Lord, if thou wilt, thou art able to cleanse me.
Mgbe Jisọs nọ nʼotu obodo, otu nwoke onye ekpenta juru ahụ, bịara daa, kpudo ihu ya nʼala mgbe ọ hụrụ ya, rịọ ya sị, “Onyenwe m, ọ bụrụ na ị chọrọ, ị pụrụ ime ka m dị ọcha.”
13 And stretching forth his hand he touched him, saying, I will; be thou cleansed: and immediately the leprosy departed from him.
Jisọs setịpụrụ aka ya metụ ya sị, “Achọrọ m, bụrụ onye dị ọcha!” Ngwangwa ekpenta ahụ hapụrụ ya.
14 And he enjoined him to tell no one; but go, shew thyself to the priest, and offer for thy cleansing as Moses ordained, for a testimony to them.
O nyere ya iwu, “A gwakwala onye ọbụla, kama gaa gosi onye nchụaja onwe gị, chụọkwa aja dị ka Mosis nyere nʼiwu maka ime ka ị dị ọcha, ka ọ bụrụ ihe ama nye ha.”
15 But the report concerning him was spread abroad still more, and great crowds came together to hear, and to be healed from their infirmities.
Ma akụkọ banyere ya gbasara karịa, nke mere na igwe mmadụ bịara ịnụrụ ihe ọ na-ekwu, na ka a gwọọkwa ha nrịa nrịa.
16 And he withdrew himself, and was about in the desert [places] and praying.
Ma site nʼoge ruo nʼoge, Jisọs na-ewezuga onwe ya gaa nʼebe ọ ga-anọ naanị ya ikpe ekpere.
17 And it came to pass on one of the days, that he was teaching, and there were Pharisees and doctors of the law sitting by, who were come out of every village of Galilee and Judaea and [out of] Jerusalem; and [the] Lord's power was [there] to heal them.
Otu ụbọchị, mgbe ọ nọ na-ezi ndị mmadụ ihe, ndị Farisii na ndị ozizi iwu (sitere nʼobodo nta niile dị na Galili na Judịa na Jerusalem bịa nọdụkwa ebe) ahụ. Ike Chineke dịnyekwaara ya ịgwọ ndị ọrịa.
18 And lo, men bringing upon a couch a man who was paralysed; and they sought to bring him in, and put [him] before him.
Nʼoge ahụ ndị ikom ụfọdụ bu otu nwoke akụkụ ahụ ya kpọnwụrụ akpọnwụ nʼihe ndina ya, bịara gbalịa isite nʼọnụ ụzọ ụlọ ahụ bubata ya tọgbọ ya nʼụkwụ ya.
19 And not finding what way to bring him in, on account of the crowd, going up on the housetop they let him down through the tiles, with his little couch, into the midst before Jesus.
Mgbe ha na-enweghị ike ime nke a nʼihi igwe mmadụ, ha rigooro nʼelu ụlọ, site nʼoghere wetuo nwoke ahụ nʼute ya nʼetiti igwe mmadụ nʼihu Jisọs.
20 And seeing their faith, he said, Man, thy sins are forgiven thee.
Mgbe Jisọs hụrụ okwukwe ha, ọ sịrị, “Enyi m, a gbagharala gị mmehie gị.”
21 And the scribes and the Pharisees began to reason [in their minds], saying, Who is this who speaks blasphemies? Who is able to forgive sins but God alone?
Ndị Farisii na ndị ozizi iwu malitere iche nʼime obi ha sị, “Onye bụ onye a na-ekwulu Chineke? Onye pụrụ ịgbaghara mmadụ mmehie, ma ọ bụghị naanị Chineke?”
22 But Jesus, knowing their reasonings, answering said to them, Why reason ye in your hearts?
Mgbe Jisọs matara ihe ha na-ajụ, ọ zara ha sị, “Gịnị mere unu ji na-eche ihe ndị a nʼobi unu?
23 which is easier, to say, Thy sins are forgiven thee; or to say, Rise up and walk?
Olee nke ka mfe ikwu: Ọ bụ a gbagharala gị mmehie gị niile, ka ọ bụ ị sị, Bilie jee ije?
24 But that ye may know that the Son of man has power on earth to forgive sins, he said to the paralysed man, I say to thee, Arise, and take up thy little couch and go to thine house.
Ma ka unu mata na Nwa nke Mmadụ nwere ikike nʼụwa ịgbaghara mmehie.” Ọ sịrị onye ahụ akụkụ ahụ ya kpọnwụrụ akpọnwụ, “Asị m gị, bilie, chịrị ute gị laa nʼụlọ gị!”
25 And immediately standing up before them, having taken up that whereon he was laid, he departed to his house, glorifying God.
Ngwangwa, o biliri ọtọ nʼihu mmadụ niile, chịrị ihe ndina ya bido na-eto Chineke na-ala nʼụlọ ya.
26 And astonishment seized all, and they glorified God, and were filled with fear, saying, We have seen strange things to-day.
Ihe ndị a juru onye ọbụla anya, ha tokwara Chineke. Oke egwu jupụtakwara ha nʼahụ, ha sịrị, “Anyị ahụla ihe ebube taa.”
27 And after these things he went forth and saw a tax-gatherer, Levi by name, sitting at the receipt of taxes, and said to him, Follow me.
Mgbe nke a gasịrị, ọ pụrụ hụ otu onye ọna ụtụ aha ya bụ Livayị, ka ọ nọdụrụ ala nʼụlọ ịnakọta ụtụ ya. Ọ sịrị ya, “Soro m.”
28 And having left all, rising up, he followed him.
Ngwangwa, o biliri, hapụ ihe niile soro ya.
29 And Levi made a great entertainment for him in his house, and there was a great crowd of tax-gatherers and others who were at table with them.
Emesịa, Livayị kwadooro Jisọs oke oriri nʼụlọ ya, ọtụtụ igwe ndị ọna ụtụ na ndị ọzọ soo ha nʼoriri ahụ.
30 And their scribes and the Pharisees murmured at his disciples, saying, Why do ye eat and drink with tax-gatherers and sinners?
Ma ndị Farisii na ndị ozizi iwu tamuru ntamu na-ajụ ndị na-eso ụzọ ya sị, “Gịnị mere unu ji soro ndị ọna ụtụ na ndị mmehie na-erikọ nri na-aṅụkọkwa ihe ọṅụṅụ?”
31 And Jesus answering said to them, They that are in sound health have not need of a physician, but those that are ill.
Jisọs zara sị, “Mkpa dibịa adịghị akpa ndị ahụ dị ike, kama ọ bụ ndị ahụ na-esighị ike.
32 I am not come to call righteous [persons], but sinful [ones] to repentance.
Abịaghị m ịkpọ ndị ezi omume, kama abịara m ịkpọ ndị mmehie ka ha chegharịa.”
33 And they said to him, Why do the disciples of John fast often and make supplications, in like manner those also of the Pharisees, but thine eat and drink?
Ha sịrị, “Ndị na-eso ụzọ Jọn na ndị na-eso ụzọ ndị Farisii na-ebu ọnụ, na-ekpe ekpere oge niile, ma ndị na-eso ụzọ gị na-eri, na-aṅụkwa.”
34 And he said to them, Can ye make the sons of the bridechamber fast when the bridegroom is with them?
Jisọs sịrị ha, “Ndị a kpọrọ oriri nʼọlụlụ di na nwunye, ha ga-ebu ọnụ mgbe ha na onye na-alụ nwunye ọhụrụ nọ?
35 But days will come when also the bridegroom will have been taken away from them; then shall they fast in those days.
Ma oge na-abịa mgbe a ga-ewepụ onye na-alụ nwunye nʼetiti ha, mgbe ahụ ka ha ga-ebu ọnụ.”
36 And he spoke also a parable to them: No one puts a piece of a new garment upon an old garment, otherwise he will both rend the new, and the piece which is from the new will not suit with the old.
Ọ tụụrụ ha ilu a, “O nweghị onye na-adọkara akwa ọhụrụ were ya kwachie akwa ochie. Ọ bụrụ na e mee nke a, ọ pụtara na a dọwaala akwa ọhụrụ ahụ nʼihi na nke ahụ eji kwachie ya agaghị adaba.
37 And no one puts new wine into old skins, otherwise the new wine will burst the skins, and it will be poured out, and the skins will be destroyed;
Nʼụzọ dị otu a kwa, mmadụ adịghị agbanye mmanya ọhụrụ dị ike nʼime karama akpụkpọ ochie. Nʼihi na ike si na mmanya ọhụrụ ahụ ga-eme ka karama ahụ gbawaa. Mmanya ahụ ga-awụfukwa, karama ahụ a laa nʼiyi.
38 but new wine is to be put into new skins, and both are preserved.
Ma ọ dị mma ịgbanye mmanya ọhụrụ nʼime karama akpụkpọ ọhụrụ.
39 And no one having drunk old wine [straightway] wishes for new, for he says, The old is better.
O nweghị onye ṅụsịrị mmanya ochie ga-achọ ịṅụ mmanya ọhụrụ, nʼihi na ọ ga-asị, ‘Nke ochie ahụ ka mma.’”
