Luke 5
1 Now it happened, while the crowd pressed on him and heard the word of God, that he was standing by the lake of Gennesaret.
Gbe ɖeka esi Yesu le tsitre nɔ nu fiam le Genesaret ƒuta la, ameha gã aɖe va ƒo zi ɖe eŋu be yewoase Mawu ƒe nya la.
2 He saw two boats standing by the lake, but the fishermen had gone out of them, and were washing their nets.
Yesu kpɔ ʋu eve siwo me ame aɖeke menɔ o la le ta la to. Ɖɔkplɔlawo nɔ woƒe ɖɔwo kpalam le tsia me.
3 He entered into one of the boats, which was Shim'on's, and asked him to put out a little from the land. He sat down and taught the crowds from the boat.
Yesu yi ɖage ɖe ʋua ɖeka me, eye wògblɔ na Simɔn ame si tɔ nye ʋua be wòakui tso go ŋu ayi tsia dzi vie. Esi wòbɔbɔ nɔ eme la, efia nu ameha la tso afi ma.
4 When he had finished speaking, he said to Shim'on, "Put out into the deep, and let down your nets for a catch."
Esi wòwu nuƒoa nu la, egblɔ na Simɔn be, “Azɔ miyi tsia ƒe gogloa ƒe ke ne miada ɖɔ ɖe afi ma ekema miaɖe lã fũu.”
5 Shim'on answered him, "Master, we worked all night, and took nothing; but at your word I will let down the nets."
Simɔn ɖo eŋu nɛ be, “Amegã, egbe zã bliboa katã míeda ɖɔ ʋuu, gake míeɖe naneke o, gake esi nègblɔe ko la, míagada ɖɔ la.”
6 When they had done this, they caught a great multitude of fish, and their net was breaking.
Wogada ɖɔ la ake ke azɔ la, woɖe lã ale gbegbe be woƒe ɖɔwo koe de asi vuvu me!
7 They beckoned to their partners in the other boat, that they should come and help them. They came, and filled both boats, so that they began to sink.
Ale Simɔn kple nɔvia wodo ɣli yɔ wo nɔvi siwo nɔ ʋu bubu me le tsia dzi la be woava kpe ɖe yewo ŋu. Woɖe lã fũu wòyɔ ʋu eveawo ale gbegbe be ʋuawo di be yewoanyrɔ gɔ̃ hã.
8 But Shim'on Peter, when he saw it, fell down at Yeshua's knees, saying, "Depart from me, for I am a sinful man, Lord."
Simɔn Petro kpɔ nu si va dzɔ la, eya ta wòdze klo ɖe Yesu kɔme hegblɔ be, “O, Aƒetɔ, meɖe kuku dzo le mía gbɔ, elabena nye nu vɔ̃wo sɔ gbɔ ŋutɔ, eye nyemedze be mate ɖe ŋuwò o.”
9 For he was amazed, and all who were with him, at the catch of fish which they had caught;
Elabena lã geɖe si woɖe la wɔ nuku na Petro kple eƒe dɔwɔhatiwo.
10 and so also were Jacob and John, sons of Zavdai, who were partners with Shim'on. Yeshua said to Shim'on, "Do not be afraid. From now on you will be catching people."
Nenema kee nye Yakobo kple Yohanes ame siwo nye Zebedeo viwo, eye woganye Simɔn ƒe dɔwɔhatiwo hã. Yesu gblɔ na wo be, “Migavɔ̃ o. Tso azɔ dzi heyina la, miazu amewo ɖelawo!”
11 When they had brought their boats to land, they left everything, and followed him.
Esi wova ɖi go teti ko la, wogblẽ woƒe nuwo katã ɖe afi ma hedze Yesu yome.
12 It happened, while he was in one of the cities, look, there was a man full of leprosy. When he saw Yeshua, he fell on his face, and begged him, saying, "Lord, if you want to, you can make me clean."
Gbe ɖeka la, Yesu kpɔ kpodɔléla aɖe le kɔƒe aɖe si me wòɖi tsa de la me. Esi kpodɔléla la kpɔ Yesu ko la, edze klo tsyɔ̃ mo anyi heɖe kuku nɛ vevie be wòada gbe le ye ŋu. Egblɔ be, “Aƒetɔ, ne èlɔ̃ la, na be ŋutinye nakɔ.”
13 And he stretched out his hand, and touched him, saying, "I am willing. Be cleansed." Immediately the leprosy left him.
Yesu ka asi ŋutsua hegblɔ be, “Mèlɔ̃, ŋutiwò nekɔ!” Ŋutsua ŋuti kɔ enumake, eye dɔ la vɔ le eŋu.
14 And he commanded him, "Do not tell anyone, but go your way, and show yourself to the cohen, and offer for your cleansing according to what Moses commanded, for a testimony to them."
Azɔ Yesu de se nɛ be, “Mègagblɔ nu sia na ame aɖeke o, ke boŋ yi nàtsɔ ɖokuiwò fia nunɔla la, eye nàna vɔsanu siwo Mose ɖo ɖi na ameŋukɔkɔ abe ɖaseɖiɖi na wo ene.”
15 But the report concerning him spread much more, and large crowds came together to hear, and to be healed of their infirmities.
Nya sia kaka ɖe teƒe geɖewo xoxo, eye ame geɖewo ŋutɔ ƒo zi ɖe eŋu be yewoase eƒe mawunya, eye wòada gbe hã le yewo ŋu.
16 But he withdrew himself into the desert, and prayed.
Gake zi geɖe la, edia ɣeyiɣi aɖe dona le wo dome dzaa yia gbedzi afi aɖe ɖadoa gbe ɖa.
17 It happened on one of those days, that he was teaching; and there were Pharisees and teachers of the Law sitting by, who had come out of every village of Galil, Judea, and Jerusalem. The power of the Lord was with him to heal.
Gbe ɖeka esi Yesu nɔ nu fiam la, Farisitɔwo kple sefialawo va teƒea va nɔ to ɖomii. Ame siawo tso du siwo katã le Galilea, Yudea kple Yerusalem la me. Aƒetɔ la ƒe dɔyɔŋusẽ va edzi be wòada gbe le wo ŋu.
18 And look, men brought a paralyzed man on a cot, and they sought to bring him in to lay before him.
Kasia, ame aɖewoe nye esiwo kɔ lãmetututɔ aɖe ɖe aba dzi va doe. Wodze agbagba ɖe sia ɖe be yewoato ameha la dome akɔe yi Yesu gbɔe,
19 Not finding a way to bring him in because of the crowd, they went up to the housetop, and let him down through the tiles with his cot into the midst before Yeshua.
gake womete ŋui o le amewo ƒe agbɔsɔsɔ ta. Le esia ta wolia xɔa, eye woɖe do ɖe etame, heɖiɖi lãmetututɔ la kple eƒe aba ɖe Yesu kɔme tututu.
20 Seeing their faith, he said, "Man, your sins are forgiven you."
Esi Yesu kpɔ woƒe xɔse la, egblɔ na dɔnɔa be, “Ŋutsu, wotsɔ wò nu vɔ̃wo ke wò.”
21 The scribes and the Pharisees began to reason, saying, "Who is this that speaks blasphemies? Who can forgive sins, but God alone?"
Farisitɔwo kple agbalẽfiala siwo nɔ ameawo dome la bia wo nɔewo be, “Ame ka ƒomevi tututu ame sia buna be yenye? Egblɔ busunya! Elabena ame kae ate ŋu atsɔ nu vɔ̃ ake tsɔ wu Mawu?”
22 But Yeshua, perceiving their thoughts, answered them, "Why are you reasoning so in your hearts?
Yesu nya nu si ŋu bum wonɔ, eya ta eɖo ŋu na wo be, “Aleke wɔ nuwɔna sia ɖe fu na miaƒe susuwo alea?
23 Which is easier to say, 'Your sins are forgiven you;' or to say, 'Arise and walk?'
Kae bɔbɔ wu, be woagblɔ na ame sia be, ‘Wotsɔ wò nu vɔ̃wo ke wò’ alo woagblɔ nɛ be, ‘Tso, nàzɔ azɔli mahã’?
24 But that you may know that the Son of Man has authority on earth to forgive sins" (he said to the paralyzed man), "I tell you, arise, and take up your cot, and go to your house."
Ke ne mianyae bena ŋusẽ le Amegbetɔ Vi la si be wòatsɔ nu vɔ̃ ake le anyigba dzi.” Ale wògblɔ na lãmetututɔ la be, “Tsi tsitre nàŋlɔ wò aba nàyi aƒe me.”
25 Immediately he rose up before them, and took up that which he was laying on, and departed to his house, glorifying God.
Ame sia ame ke ŋku ɖi be yeakpɔ nu, kasia, ŋutsua tsi tsitre ɖe eƒe afɔ eveawo dzi, ŋlɔ eƒe aba, eye wòɖo ta aƒe me henɔ Mawu kafum bobobo.
26 Amazement took hold on all, and they glorified God. They were filled with fear, saying, "We have seen remarkable things today."
Ame siwo katã nɔ afi ma la ƒe mo wɔ yaa eye vɔvɔ̃ ɖo wo, wokafu Mawu nɔ gbɔgblɔm be, “Míekpɔ nu madzɔkpɔ aɖe egbe.”
27 After these things he went out, and saw a tax collector named Levi sitting at the tax office, and said to him, "Follow me."
Esi Yesu dzo le du sia me yina la, ekpɔ dugadzɔla aɖe si ame sia ame nya nyuie le eƒe amebaba ta. Dugadzɔla sia ŋkɔe nye Levi eye wònɔ anyi ɖe dugadzɔƒe. Yesu gblɔ nɛ be, “Va dze yonyeme ne nàzu nye nusrɔ̃lawo dometɔ ɖeka.”
28 He left everything, and rose up and followed him.
Ale Levi gblẽ nu sia nu ɖi, eye wòtso enumake hedze eyome.
29 Levi made a great feast for him in his house. There was a large crowd of tax collectors and others who were reclining with them.
Eteƒe medidi o, Levi ɖo kplɔ̃ na Yesu, eye wòkpe etɔ nudzɔla bubuwo hã ɖe kplɔ̃ sia ŋu le eƒe aƒe me.
30 The Pharisees and their scribes grumbled at his talmidim, saying, "Why do you eat and drink with the tax collectors and sinners?"
Farisitɔwo kple agbalẽfialawo kpɔ kpɔtsotso le Yesu ƒe nuwɔna sia ŋu, eye wohe nya kple eƒe nusrɔ̃lawo vevie be Yesu ɖua nu henoa nu kple dugadzɔlawo kple nu vɔ̃ wɔlawo.
31 Yeshua answered them, "Those who are healthy have no need for a physician, but those who are sick do.
Yesu ɖo eŋu na wo be, “Menye lãmesesẽtɔwoe hiã gbedala o, ke boŋ dɔnɔwoe.
32 I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance."
Menye ame dzɔdzɔewo ta meva ɖo o, ke boŋ nu vɔ̃ wɔlawo ko, hena dzimetɔtrɔ.”
33 They said to him, "The talmidim of John often fast and pray, likewise also the talmidim of the Pharisees, but yours eat and drink."
Ameawo gayi edzi bia Yesu be nu ka tae eƒe nusrɔ̃lawo metsia nu dɔna hedoa gbe ɖa abe ale si Yohanes ƒe nusrɔ̃lawo kple Farisitɔwo wɔnɛ ene o, ke boŋ eƒe nusrɔ̃lawo ya la nuɖuɖu kple nunono dzi ko wonɔna gbe sia gbe hã.
34 He said to them, "Can you make the friends of the bridegroom fast, while the bridegroom is with them?
Ke Yesu bia wo be, “Ne wokpe amewo be woava do dzidzɔ ɖe srɔ̃ɖelawo ŋu ɖe, ɖe amekpekpe siawo agbe nuɖuɖu le esime srɔ̃tɔ la ŋutɔ li kpli wo mahã?
35 But the days will come when the bridegroom will be taken away from them. Then they will fast in those days."
Gake ɣeyiɣi li gbɔna esi woava kplɔ srɔ̃tɔ la adzoe le ameawo gbɔ, eye ne edzɔ alea la, woatsi nu dɔ le ɣeyiɣi ma me.”
36 He also told a parable to them. "No one having torn a piece from a new garment puts it on an old garment, or else he will tear the new, and also the piece from the new will not match the old.
Azɔ Yesu do lo sia na wo be, “Ame aɖeke metsɔa avɔnuɖeɖi yeye kaa avɔ xoxo si vuvu lae o. Ne wotsɔ avɔnuɖeɖi yeye ka avɔ xoxo si vuvu la, menya kpɔna o; gawu la, enana be avɔa ƒe teƒe si woka la gavuvuna ɖe edzi wu tsã.
37 And no one puts new wine into old wineskins, or else the new wine will burst the skins, and it will be spilled, and the skins will be destroyed.
Nenema ke womekɔa aha yeye ɖe lãgbalẽgolo xoxo me o; ne wowɔ esia la, aha yeye la ƒe ŋusẽ ana be lãgbalẽgolo xoxo la awo, eye aha la katã akɔ ɖe anyigba.
38 But new wine must be put into fresh wineskins.
Ke boŋ lãgbalẽgolo yeye mee wòdze be woakɔ aha yeye ɖo.
39 No one having drunk old wine desires new, for he says, 'The old is good.'"
Nenema kee ame aɖeke menoa aha tsitsi vɔ teti ko ganoa yeyetɔ tɔtɔnɛ o, elabena wogblɔna godoo be, ‘Mɔ xoxotɔwo nyo wu.’”
