< Luka 5 >

1 Busuba nabumbi Yesu walikuba wemana mumbali mwa lwenje lwa Genesaleti. Bantu bangi bali kabanyakana kwambeti banyumfwe Maswi a Lesa.
Now while the multitude pressed on him and heard the word of God, he was standing by the lake of Gennesaret.
2 Lino Yesu walabona mato abili asungwa mumbali, beshikushina inswi balikuba balafumumo kabasuka tombe twabo.
He saw two boats standing by the lake, but the fishermen had gone out of them and were washing their nets.
3 Yesu walengila mubwato bumo ubo bwalikuba bwa Shimoni, neye walasengeti abunyakileko pa lwenje. Walekala mubwato nekutatika kwiyisha bantu.
He entered into one of the boats, which was Simon’s, and asked him to put out a little from the land. He sat down and taught the multitudes from the boat.
4 Mpwalapwisha kwiyisha, walambila Shimoni eti, “Bunyakileni bwato pakati, kwambeti muwale tombe twenu mumenshi mwikate inswi.”
When he had finished speaking, he said to Simon, “Put out into the deep and let down your nets for a catch.”
5 Shimoni walakumbuleti, “Shikwiyisha, kufuma mashiku bulatucele tuliya kwikatapo inswi, pakwinga mulamba njamwe ningwale tombe.”
Simon answered him, “Master, we worked all night and caught nothing; but at your word I will let down the net.”
6 Lino balawala tombe twabo, nekwikata inswi shingi, tombe twabo twalatatika kupasuka.
When they had done this, they caught a great multitude of fish, and their net was breaking.
7 Lino balakuwa banabo balikuba mubwato bumbi kwambeti bese babanyafweko kusabula, naboyo balesa, nomba balesusha mato abili nkayanda kwibila.
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 Shimoni Petulo mpwalaboneco walasuntama pantangu pa Yesu nekwambeti, “Kamundekelela Mwami Pakwinga ndeshikwinsa byaipa.”
But Simon Peter, when he saw it, fell down at Jesus’ knees, saying, “Depart from me, for I am a sinful man, Lord.”
9 Shimoni ne banendi balenseco pakwinga balakankamana pa kufula kwa inswi isho nshobalekata.
For he was amazed, and all who were with him, at the catch of fish which they had caught;
10 Neco Jemusi ne Yohane bana bendi Zebediya kayi nebanendi Shimoni, naboyo balakankamana. Lino Yesu walambila Shimoni eti, “Kotatina pakwinga kufuma lelo nube weshikwikata bantu.”
and so also were James and John, sons of Zebedee, who were partners with Simon. Jesus said to Simon, “Don’t be afraid. From now on you will be catching people alive.”
11 Popelapo balatanta mato ayo kuya kutala kwa mulonga, balashiya byonse nekunkokela Yesu.
When they had brought their boats to land, they left everything, and followed him.
12 Yesu mpwalikuba mumunshi naumbi walakumana ne muntu wali kukolwa bulwashi bwa mankuntu mubili wonse. Mpwalabona Yesu mulwashi uyu walasuntama kuntangu nekumusengeti, “Mwami ndicishi kwambeti mukute ngofu shakusengula nsenguleni.”
While he was in one of the cities, behold, there was a man full of leprosy. When he saw Jesus, he fell on his face and begged him, saying, “Lord, if you want to, you can make me clean.”
13 Yesu walatandabula likasa lyakendi, walamwikata ne kwambeti, “Ee ndayandanga, koba cena!” Popelapo mankuntu alapwa.
He stretched out his hand and touched him, saying, “I want to. Be made clean.” Immediately the leprosy left him.
14 Kufumapo Yesu walamwambileti, “Konyumfwa, kotambila muntu nambi umo makani awa. Nomba obe ululame wenga kuli beshikwiyisha, uyenga ulileshe kuli beshimilumbo kwambeti ulaba cena. Uye ubenge bupe kwelana ne ncalamba Mose kwambeti bantu bashometi ulaba cena.”
He commanded him to tell no one, “But go your way and show yourself to the priest, and offer for your cleansing according to what Moses commanded, for a testimony to them.”
15 Necikabeco impuwo ya Yesu yalanyumfwika kubantu bangi. Neco bantu balikwisa kuli endiye kwambeti banyumfwe Maswi akendi kayi nekubasengula malwashi abo.
But the report concerning him spread much more, and great multitudes came together to hear and to be healed by him of their infirmities.
16 Lino nendi Yesu walaya kwa enka akupaila.
But he withdrew himself into the desert and prayed.
17 Nabumbi busuba Yesu walikeyisha, popelapo palikuba Bafalisi ne beshikwiyisha milawo nabambi. Bantu aba balafuma muminshi yonse ya ku Galileya, ku Yudeya kayi neku Yelusalemu. Ngofu sha Lesa shalikuba muli Yesu kwambeti abasengule.
On one of those days, he was teaching; and there were Pharisees and teachers of the law sitting by who had come out of every village of Galilee, Judea, and Jerusalem. The power of the Lord was with him to heal them.
18 Kufumapo bantu nabambi balaleta mutuloba walikuba watontola mubili nkabali bamunyamuna pa mpasa. Balelesha kwambeti bamwingishe mu ng'andeti bamoneke pantangu pa Yesu.
Behold, men brought a paralyzed man on a cot, and they sought to bring him in to lay before Jesus.
19 Naboyo balikuyanda kumwingishila pacishinga, lino pakwinga bantu balafula balalilwa kwambeti bamutwale mukati. Neco balatanta nendi pa ciluli ca ng'anda ne kupasula mulyango, balamwingisha ne kumulelesha pampasa yakendi pakati pabantu ne kumushikisha pantangu pa Yesu.
Not finding a way to bring him in because of the multitude, they went up to the housetop and let him down through the tiles with his cot into the middle before Jesus.
20 Yesu mpwalabona kushoma kwakendi, “Walambeti, bwipishi bwakobe bulalekelelwa.”
Seeing their faith, he said to him, “Man, your sins are forgiven you.”
21 Lino beshikwiyisha Milawo kayi ne Bafalisi balatatika kwipushaneti, “Nomba uyu niyani lanyashanga Lesa? Niyani welela kulekelela bwipishi sena nte Lesa enka?”
The scribes and the Pharisees began to reason, saying, “Who is this who speaks blasphemies? Who can forgive sins, but God alone?”
22 Lino Yesu walenshiba ncobalikuyeya mumyoyo yabo neku bepusheti, “Nomba mulayeyelenga cani bintu bya mushoboyo mu myoyo yenu?
But Jesus, perceiving their thoughts, answered them, “Why are you reasoning so in your hearts?
23 Nicipeyo capuba kwambila muntu eti, ‘Bwipishi bwakobe bulalekelelwa,’ Nambi kwambeti, ‘Nyamuka, wende’
Which is easier to say, ‘Your sins are forgiven you,’ or to say, ‘Arise and walk’?
24 Lino ndayandanga kumwambileti mwinshibe kwambeti mwana muntu ukute ngofu shakulekelela bwipishi pacishi ca panshi.” Kufumapo walambila usa watontola mubileti, “Ndakwambilinga, nyamuka, manta mpasa yakobe wenga kucomwenu.”
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, take up your cot, and go to your house.”
25 Popelapo walapunduka bonse kabalanga nemenso abo, walamanta mpasa mpwalikuba wona nekutatika kuya nkalumbaisha Lesa.
Immediately he rose up before them, and took up that which he was laying on, and departed to his house, glorifying God.
26 Bantu bonse balakankamana kayi balatina. Lino balatatika kulumbaisha Lesa ne kwambeti, “Ici ncotulabono lelo, nkatutana tucibonapo sobwe.”
Amazement took hold on all, and they glorified God. They were filled with fear, saying, “We have seen strange things today.”
27 Popelapo Yesu walafuma pansa nekubona weshikusonkesha musonko walikukwiweti Levi, nkali ekala mu ng'anda yamusonko. Yesu walamwambileti, “Nkonkele.”
After these things he went out and saw a tax collector named Levi sitting at the tax office, and said to him, “Follow me!”
28 Popelapo neye walanyamuka, nekushiya byonse nekumukonkela.
He left everything, and rose up and followed him.
29 Lino Levi walabamba byakulya bingi kwambeti basekelele ne Yesu mu ng'anda yakendi. Kwalikuba beshikusonkesha misonko bangi ne bantu nabambi kabalya pamo.
Levi made a great feast for him in his house. There was a great crowd of tax collectors and others who were reclining with them.
30 Bafalisi nabambi ne beshikwiyisha milawo balatatika kudandaulila beshikwiya ba Yesu eti, “Nomba nicani mulalyelenga nekunwa pamo ne beshikusonkesha kayi ne bantu babwipishi?”
Their scribes and the Pharisees murmured against his disciples, saying, “Why do you eat and drink with the tax collectors and sinners?”
31 Lino Yesu walabakumbuleti, “Bayumi nkabakute kulangaula mu ng'anga sobwe, nsombi balwashi.
Jesus answered them, “Those who are healthy have no need for a physician, but those who are sick do.
32 Ndiya kwishila balulama nsombi babwipishi kwambeti basanduke mu myoyo yabo.”
I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners, to repentance.”
33 Bantu nabambi balepusha Yesu eti, “Beshikwiya ba Yohane mubatishi bali kuba necindi cakulikanisha kulya nekupaila, naboyo beshikwiya ba Bafalisi bangi balikwinsa copeleco, bakobe baliya cindi camushoboyo, balo bakute kulya ne kunwowa.”
They said to him, “Why do John’s disciples often fast and pray, likewise also the disciples of the Pharisees, but yours eat and drink?”
34 Lino Yesu walabakumuleti, “Sena balikubwinga ingamubakakatisha kutalya nebanabo, shibwinga kacilipo? Sobwe!
He said to them, “Can you make the friends of the bridegroom fast while the bridegroom is with them?
35 Nsombi cindi nicikashike shibwinga mpoti bakamufunyepo pali endibo, Lino ico cindi nibakalikanishe kulya.”
But the days will come when the bridegroom will be taken away from them. Then they will fast in those days.”
36 Kufumapo Yesu walabambila cikoshanisho eti, “Kuliya muntu welela kukwamuna cimami cacikwisa caina nekutunga pa cakufwala cakeendi. Nkela kwinseco pakwinga naco ngacononga cikwisa kayi cimami nkacela kwendelana pacakufwala ico sobwe.
He also told a parable to them. “No one puts a piece from a new garment on an old garment, or else he will tear the new, and also the piece from the new will not match the old.
37 Kuliya muntu welela kubika waini walino lino munkomwa yacipaya cakendi. Nalabikimo waini walino lino ukute kupasula nkomwa. Waini wonse ngawitika ne konongeka.
No one puts new wine into old wine skins, or else the new wine will burst the skins, and it will be spilled and the skins will be destroyed.
38 Nomba waini walino lino welela kubikiwa mucinkuli calino lino.
But new wine must be put into fresh wine skins, and both are preserved.
39 Kuliya muntu welela kuyanda kunwa waini walino lino na lanu waini wakaindi pakwinga mukute kwambeti, ‘Usa wakaindi ewaina.’”
No man having drunk old wine immediately desires new, for he says, ‘The old is better.’”
