< Luke 5 >

1 And it was don, whanne the puple cam fast to Jhesu, to here the word of God, he stood bisidis the pool of Genasereth,
Now it happened, while the crowd pressed on him and heard the word of God, that he was standing by the lake of Gennesaret.
2 and saiy two bootis stondynge bisidis the pool; and the fischeris weren go doun, and waischiden her nettis.
He saw two boats standing by the lake, but the fishermen had gone out of them, and were washing their nets.
3 And he wente vp in to a boot, that was Symoundis, and preiede hym to lede it a litil fro the loond; and he seet, and tauyte the puple out of the boot.
He entered into one of the boats, which was Shimon's, and asked him to put out a little from the land. He sat down and taught the crowds from the boat.
4 And as he ceesside to speke, he seide to Symount, Lede thou in to the depthe, and slake youre nettis to take fisch.
When he had finished speaking, he said to Shimon, "Put out into the deep, and let down your nets for a catch."
5 And Symount answeride, and seide to hym, Comaundoure, we traueliden al the nyyt, and token no thing, but in thi word Y schal leye out the net.
Shimon answered him, "Master, we worked all night, and took nothing; but at your word I will let down the nets."
6 And whanne thei hadden do this thing, thei closiden togidir a greet multitude of fischis; and her net was brokun.
When they had done this, they caught a great multitude of fish, and their net was breaking.
7 And thei bikenyden to felawis, that weren in anothir boot, that thei schulden come, and helpe hem. And thei camen, and filliden bothe the bootis, so that thei weren almost drenchid.
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.
8 And whanne Symount Petir saiy this thing, he felde doun to the knees of Jhesu, and seide, Lord, go fro me, for Y am a synful man.
But Shimon Kipha, when he saw it, fell down at Yeshua's knees, saying, "Depart from me, for I am a sinful man, Lord."
9 For he was on ech side astonyed, and alle that weren with hym, in the takyng of fischis whiche thei token.
For he was amazed, and all who were with him, at the catch of fish which they had caught;
10 Sotheli in lijk maner James and Joon, the sones of Zebedee, that weren felowis of Symount Petre. And Jhesus seide to Symount, Nyle thou drede; now fro this tyme thou schalt take men.
and so also were Yaquv and Yukhanan, sons of Zabedai, who were partners with Shimon. Yeshua said to Shimon, "Do not be afraid. From now on you will be catching people."
11 And whanne the bootis weren led vp to the loond, thei leften alle thingis, and thei sueden hym.
When they had brought their boats to land, they left everything, and followed him.
12 And it was don, whanne he was in oon of the citees, lo! a man ful of lepre; and seynge Jhesu felle doun on his face, and preyede hym, and seide, Lord, if thou wolt, thou maist make me clene.
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."
13 And Jhesus held forth his hoond, and touchide hym, and seide, Y wole, be thou maad cleene. And anoon the lepre passide awei fro hym.
And he stretched out his hand, and touched him, saying, "I am willing. Be cleansed." Immediately the leprosy left him.
14 And Jhesus comaundide to hym, that he schulde seie to no man; But go, schewe thou thee to a preest, and offre for thi clensyng, as Moises bad, in to witnessyng to hem.
And he commanded him, "Do not tell anyone, but go your way, and show yourself to the priest, and offer for your cleansing according to what Mushe commanded, for a testimony to them."
15 And the word walkide aboute the more of hym; and myche puple camen togidere, to here, and to be heelid of her siknessis.
But the report concerning him spread much more, and large crowds came together to hear, and to be healed of their infirmities.
16 And he wente in to desert, and preiede.
But he withdrew himself into the desert, and prayed.
17 And it was don in oon of the daies, he sat, and tauyte; and there weren Farisees sittynge, and doctouris of the lawe, that camen of eche castel of Galilee, and of Judee, and of Jerusalem; and the vertu of the Lord was to heele sike men.
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 Galila, Yehuda, and Urishlim. The power of the Lord was with him to heal.
18 And lo! men beren in a bed a man that was sijk in the palsye, and thei souyten to bere hym in, and sette bifor hym.
And look, men brought a paralyzed man on a cot, and they sought to bring him in to lay before him.
19 And thei founden not in what partie thei schulden bere hym in, for the puple, `and thei wenten on the roof, and bi the sclattis thei leeten hym doun with the bed, in to the myddil, bifor Jhesus.
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.
20 And whanne Jhesu saiy the feith of hem, he seide, Man, thi synnes ben foryouun to thee.
Seeing their faith, he said, "Man, your sins are forgiven you."
21 And the scribis and Farisees bigunnen to thenke, seiynge, Who is this, that spekith blasfemyes? who may foryyue synnes, but God aloone?
The scribes and the Pharisees began to reason, saying, "Who is this that speaks blasphemies? Who can forgive sins, but God alone?"
22 And as Jhesus knewe the thouytis of hem, he answeride, and seide to hem, What thenken ye yuele thingis in youre hertes?
But Yeshua, perceiving their thoughts, answered them, "Why are you reasoning so in your hearts?
23 What is liyter to seie, Synnes ben foryouun to thee, or to seie, Rise vp, and walke?
Which is easier to say, 'Your sins are forgiven you;' or to say, 'Arise and walk?'
24 But that ye wite, that mannus sone hath power in erthe to foryyue synnes, he seide to the sijk man in palesie, Y seie to thee, ryse vp, take thi bed, and go in to thin hous.
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."
25 And anoon he roos vp bifor hem, and took the bed in which he lay, and wente in to his hous, and magnyfiede God.
Immediately he rose up before them, and took up that which he was laying on, and departed to his house, glorifying God.
26 And greet wondur took alle, and thei magnyfieden God; and thei weren fulfillid with greet drede, and seiden, For we han seyn merueilouse thingis to dai.
Amazement took hold on all, and they glorified God. They were filled with fear, saying, "We have seen remarkable things today."
27 And after these thingis Jhesus wente out, and saiy a pupplican, Leuy bi name, sittynge at the tolbothe. And he seide to hym, Sue thou me;
After these things he went out, and saw a tax collector named Lewi sitting at the tax office, and said to him, "Follow me."
28 and whanne he hadde left alle thingis, he roos vp, and suede hym.
He left everything, and rose up and followed him.
29 And Leuy made to hym a greet feeste in his hous; and ther was a greet cumpanye of pupplicans, and of othere that weren with hem, sittynge at the mete.
Lewi made a great feast for him in his house. There was a large crowd of tax collectors and others who were reclining with them.
30 And Farisees and the scribis of hem grutchiden, and seiden to hise disciplis, Whi eten ye and drynken with pupplicans and synful men?
The Pharisees and their scribes grumbled at his disciples, saying, "Why do you eat and drink with the tax collectors and sinners?"
31 And Jhesus answeride, and seide to hem, Thei that ben hoole han no nede to a leche, but thei that ben sijke;
Yeshua answered them, "Those who are healthy have no need for a physician, but those who are sick do.
32 for Y cam not to clepe iuste men, but synful men to penaunce.
I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance."
33 And thei seiden to hym, Whi the disciplis of Joon fasten ofte, and maken preieris, also and of Farisees, but thine eten and drynken?
They said to him, "The disciples of Yukhanan often fast and pray, likewise also the disciples of the Pharisees, but yours eat and drink."
34 To whiche he seide, Whether ye moun make the sones of the spouse to faste, while the spouse is with hem?
He said to them, "Can you make the friends of the bridegroom fast, while the bridegroom is with them?
35 But daies schulen come, whanne the spouse schal be takun a wei fro hem, and thanne thei schulen faste in tho daies.
But the days will come when the bridegroom will be taken away from them. Then they will fast in those days."
36 And he seide to hem also a liknesse; For no man takith a pece fro a newe cloth, and puttith it in to an oold clothing; ellis bothe he brekith the newe, and the pece of the newe acordith not to the elde.
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.
37 And no man puttith newe wyne in to oolde botels; ellis the newe wyn schal breke the botels, and the wyn schal be sched out, and the botels schulen perische.
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.
38 But newe wyne owith to be put in to newe botels, and bothe ben kept.
But new wine must be put into fresh wineskins.
39 And no man drynkynge the elde, wole anoon the newe; for he seith, The olde is the betere.
No one having drunk old wine desires new, for he says, 'The old is good.'"
