Lukha 5
1 Pwu lino gukhahumila unsikhi avanu upu valundamine nu khunchungula u Yisu nu khupulihicha ilimenyu lya Nguluve, upwu akhimile palukanji mndisiva lya Genesaleti.
One day, as Jesus was standing beside the Sea of Galilee, people crowded around him to hear the word of God.
2 Akhavuvona uvwato vuvili vwimile khulukanji khulisiva. Avilova vakhavile vahumile pwu valikusukha inyafu cha vene.
Jesus noticed two boats lying on the shore, left there by fishermen who were washing their nets.
3 UYisu akhingila mmbwato vumo uvwa Simoni nu khudova ahilikhe mundugasi patali padebe na khuvulagafu. Pwu akhatama nu khumanyisya ukhuhumile khuwato.
Jesus got into a boat, the one that belonged to Simon, and asked him to push it out into the water, just offshore. Then Jesus sat down in the boat and taught the people from there.
4 Ukhuchova akhambula u Simoni, “Hilikauwato wako pamagasi pagati nu khwisya inyafu chakho pwalove isomba.”
After he'd finished speaking, he told Simon, “Go out into deeper water, and let down your nets for a catch.”
5 USimoni akhanda akhata, Ikuludeva, tuvombile imbombo ikilo yoni, salukhibate, kwu limenyu lyakho, nikwisya inyafu.
“Lord, we worked hard all night, and didn't catch anything. But if you say so, I'll let down the nets,” Simon replied.
6 Vavugahile evwo vakhahundamania isomba nyingi ni nyafu chavene chakhatengula ukhudumukha.
Having done this, a large shoal of fish filled the nets full to breaking point.
7 Pwu vakhavavula avayavo avakhuvwato uvunge viche khutangila. Vakhiche vakhadicha uvwato vwoni, chikhatangula ukhuyuvama.
They waved to their partners in the other boat, asking them to come over and help. The others came over and together they filled both of the boats with fish. The boats were so full that they began to sink.
8 Pwu Simoni Petro, avile alolile evo, akhagwa pa mafugamilo ga Yisu akhata, “Hega khuliune, ulwakhuve une nilumunu ntulanongwa Inkuludeva.”
When Simon Peter saw what had happened, he dropped to his knees before Jesus. “Lord, please stay away from me, for I am a sinful man!” he exclaimed.
9 Ulwakhuva valikudega, ne voni uvuvalipwo nu mwene, pakhulova isomba uvuvakhavombile.
For he and everybody with him were completely amazed by the catch of fish that they had landed.
10 Ili likhavalundaminio uyakhobo nu Yohana umwana va Sebedayo, uvu ava vakhale paninie nu Simoni. Nu Yisu akhambula u Simoni, “ulekhe ukhudwada, ulwakuva ukhuhuma lino vulutoga kwilova avanu.”
James and John, the sons of Zebedee, Simon's partners, felt the same way. “Don't be afraid,” Jesus told Simon. “From now on you'll be fishing for people!”
11 Vuvavile valelile vwato khuvuchila lugasi, vakhakhikha kila khinu nu khunkonga umwene.
So they dragged the boats onto the shore, left everything, and followed Jesus.
12 Pwu yikha humila ukhuta ujini gumo, umunu uvia digile iboba ale ukhwa. Unsikhi avile ikhumbona u Yisu, akhagwa akhinamila amiho ga mwene mpakha pasi nu khutova, akhata, “Inkuludeva, ingave vwinogwa, wiwesya ukuhumbalacha.”
Once when Jesus was visiting one of the towns, he met a man there who had a very bad case of leprosy. The man fell with his face to the ground and begged Jesus, “Please Lord, if you're willing, you can make me clean.”
13 Pwu Yisu akhagolola ikhivokho kya mwene nu khumwabasya, akhata, “Ninogwa. Valela.” Unsikhu gula gula ibuba yikhandekha.
Jesus reached out and touched the man. “I am willing,” he said. “Be clean!” Immediately the leprosy disappeared.
14 “Akhandagila alikhe ukhumbula umunu pwu akhambula, “Lutaga ukhavonesye, kumakuhani nu khumie isadaka ya vuvalacho vwakho, khi hwanini nu lulagilo lwa Mose ukhulola khuvene.”
“Say nothing to anyone,” Jesus instructed him. “Go and show yourself to the priest and make the ceremonial offerings as required by the law of Moses as proof that you've been healed.”
15 Pwu inongwa icha mwene chukhaluta khuvutali ficho, ni khipuga kya vanu khekhicha paninie khukho mpulihicha vwi manyisya nu khuponia amatamu gavene.
Yet the news about Jesus spread more and more. Large crowds came to hear Jesus and to be healed from their diseases.
16 Pwu imisikhi gyoni alikwiyepusya khuvutitu nu khwisaya.
But Jesus often used to retreat to quiet places and pray.
17 Pu yeikhava mumanchuva ngala eilinchuva leimo pu amanyisyangha, ava Farisai navamanyisi vanda ngeilo valaamile baho, avuvahumile muvunchenghe vwoni uvwa Mungalileya na mumbu Yuta, na khu Yelusalemu. Pu navuvuvahaha wa Nkuludeva vwalepwo ukhuta pwa ponianghe avatamu.
One day when Jesus was teaching, the Pharisees and religious teachers who had come from all over Galilee, Judea, and Jerusalem were sitting there. The power of the Lord to heal was with him so he could heal.
18 Avanu valive vakhancha, vagegde mulitefu umunu uvei aposinche, vakhalonda einjila ya khu mwing'eincha eigati va gonei pasi khuva longolo khwa Yisu.
Some men arrived carrying a paralyzed man on a mat. They tried to take him in and lay him in front of Jesus.
19 Pu leino vavile valemilwe apa khunghenda pakhuva pale pafinye pasipali apakhuluta avanu vale vingi eilipungha eilivaha, pu vakhatongha khukyanya khukanu pavakha pelelencha mumapamba angha khukyanya puvakhamwisya utamu mukhei hangha khya mwene panghati pavalongolo upu ale u Yisu.
But they couldn't find any way through the crowd, so they went up on the roof and made a hole in the roof tiles. Then they lowered the man down on the mat, right into the crowd in front of Jesus.
20 Alolile uweedechi wayene, u Yisu akhaachove, “Imanyani, imbivi nchakho usyei khiliwe.”
When Jesus saw the trust they had in him, he said to the man, “Your sins are forgiven.”
21 Pu leino avamanya kalata nava Farisai valeinkuta, vei veni uyu uveinchova amamenyu ngha imbedo, veni uvyaleinamakha ngha khusyeikheila inogwa, pu nyakhusyei kheila alei yu Nguluve mwene?”
The religious teachers and the Pharisees began to argue with that. “Who is this who's speaking blasphemies?” they asked. “Who can forgive sins? Only God can do that!”
22 UYisu, wikhulumanya khekhi ikhyo visaga, akhavanda akhata khekhi mkhivucha vucha ili munumbula chinyo?
Jesus knew what they were arguing about, so he asked them, “Why are you thinking to question this?
23 Khilekhu khejebepe ukhuta inongwa chakho chisyekheliwe nukhuta 'Ima ugendage?'
What is easier? To say your sins are forgiven, or to say get up and walk?
24 Mlamanye ukhuta umwana va Adamu alinago amakha nkilunga ga khusiekhela inongwa, nukuvavula, 'Uveve sisimokha, tola ilitefu lyakho ulutage khu nyumba yakho.”
However, I will prove to you that the Son of man has the authority here on earth to forgive sins.” Then he said to the paralyzed man, “I tell you: Get up, pick up your mat, and go home.”
25 Unsikhi gugugwa akhasisimokha kuvulongolo khuvene pwu akhatola ilitefu lya mwene ilyu alikhugonela. Pwu alinkuvuya khu Unguluve.
Immediately the man stood up in front of them. He picked up the mat he'd been lying on, and went home, praising God as he went.
26 Umunu nu munu alinkhudega nu khunginia Unguluve. Vakhadiga nu uvudwacji, nu khuta, “Tuchiwene imbombo cha khudega ilelo.”
Everyone was completely astonished at what had happened, and in great awe they praised God, saying, “What we saw today was amazing!”
27 Imbombo ichi vuchihomile, u Yisu akhahuma ukhwa akhambona unsonga songa uvialikwelangiwa Lawi atamile apakhusongecha isongo. Akhambula, “Ingongege.”
Later, as Jesus was leaving the town, he saw a tax collector called Levi sitting at his tax booth. “Follow me,” Jesus told him.
28 Pwu u Lawi akhavikha nu khunkonga, akhafilekha kila khinu khunsana.
Levi stood up, left everything, and followed Jesus.
29 Ulawi akhavikha ikhyakha ikhiva na khu nyumbaya mwene iya Yisu. Vakhavepo asonga songo vingi navanu vingi vatamile na vene.
Levi organized a large banquet at his home in Jesus' honor. Many tax collectors and others were in the crowd that sat down to eat with them. But the Pharisees and the religious teachers complained to Jesus' disciples, asking,
30 Ava Mafarisai na vasimbi vavo vali kuvasikhitile avakonga, vali uta, “Khekhi mwilya nu khunywa na vatule nongwa na vasonga songo na vanu avange avatula ningwa?”
“Why do you eat and drink with tax collectors and sinners?”
31 UYisu akavanda, “Avanu avanonu savilonela uganga, vala aratamu vu ya vikhondanda yumo.
“Healthy people don't need a doctor—but sick people do,” Jesus replied.
32 Sanikhichile kukalonda avayihweli vapale hata nikhuviolanga avatula no ngwa vapele.”
“I didn't come to call those who are living right to repentance—I came to call sinners.”
33 Vakhavavula, “Avakongi va Yohana imisikhi gyoni nu valikhudinda nu khudova, avakongi va Mafarisai navope vivomba vule vule. Pwu avakongi vako vilya nu khunywa.”
“Well, John's disciples often fast and pray, and the Pharisees' disciples do so as well. But your disciples don't—they go on eating and drinking,” they told him.
34 UYisu akhavavula, “Yiwesekhana umunu nu munu vala awafikhe khundoa ya nya ndoa widinda wu unyandoa vu bado pu paninie?
“Should the groomsmen fast while the bridegroom is with them?” Jesus asked.
35 Pwu ifigono fikhwicha unsikhi gwa nyandoayavikhung'echa kuvenu pwo ifigono ifyo yavidinda.”
“No—but the time is coming when the bridegroom will be taken away from them. Then they can fast.”
36 Khange u Yisu akhachova navene kwu khihwani. “Asikhuli uvilekha na ikhupicha kya mwenda ukhuhuma khumwenda umpya ukhunocha khumwenda ugwa khatale. Ingave ngavombe evwo, ikhugolekha umwenda umpya, na ikhipicha kya mwenda ukhuhuma umwenda umpya sakhinogelanila ukhuvomba nu mwenda unkulu.
Then he gave them an illustration: “You don't tear out a patch from new clothes to mend old clothes. Otherwise you'd ruin new clothes, and the patch from the new wouldn't match the old.
37 Khange, asikhuli umunu uvivekha idivai imya kufikopo ifya katale. Ingave ivomba ewo, idivai imya yikhale yibachola ikyombo, nayi divai yikhale yidudekha, ifichupa fikhala finangikho.
You don't put new wine into old wineskins, because if you did the new wine would burst the wineskins. Then both wine and wineskins would be wasted.
38 Idivai imya lunonu ukhuvikha mufichupa ifipya.
You put new wine in new wineskins.
39 Mwikho umunu vwa nywile idivai lya khatale, ukhunogwa imya, ulwakhuva ita, 'Iya khatale nonu.'”
And nobody after drinking old wine wants new wine, for they say, ‘the old tastes good.’”
