Luuka 5
1 pe jilyahumile unsiki ghuno avaanhu vakan'kong'anikila na kun'syuta na kupulikisia ilisio lya Nguluve, pano alyale imile ulubale lwa kikogha kya Genesaleti.
One day while many people were crowding around him to hear the message from God, Jesus was standing on the shore of Gennesaret Lake, [which is also called Lake Galilee].
2 akavona ifyombo fivili fifikile mulubale na malenga. vano visuvula vala valyahumile valyale visuka indovele save.
He saw two [fishing] boats at the edge of the lake. The fishermen had gone out of the boats and were washing their [fishing] nets [on the shore]. One of the boats belonged to Simon.
3 uYesu akingila mu kyobo kimonga kino kilyale kya Simoni akansuuma atwale mu malenga kutali padebe ni iisi indaghafu. pe ikala na kum'bulanisia kuhumila mu kyombo kila.
Jesus got in that boat and asked Simon to push the boat a little bit away from the shore [so that he could speak to the crowd more easily. Jesus] sat in the boat and taught the people [who were on the shore].
4 kujova akam'bula uSimoni akati, twala ikyombo kyako kuhanga mukilindi kya malenga na kukwisia indovelo sako neke kusuvua iswi”
After he finished speaking [to them], he said to Simon, “Push the boat out to where the water is deep. Then let your nets down [into the water] to catch [some fish]!”
5 uSimoni akamwamula akati,” Mutwa tuvombile imbombo ikilo jooni, natukolile kyokyoni, neke kulisio lyako, nikisisia indovelo.
Simon replied, “Master, we [(exc)] worked hard all night but we did not catch any [fish]. But because you [(sg)] tell me to do it, I will let down the nets.”
6 vati vavombile nahele vakakong'anisie iswi nyinga na sindovelo save sikatengula kudemuka.
When Peter [and the men with him] had done that, they caught so many fish that their nets were breaking.
7 pe vakavakemhela avajanave neke viise kukuvatanga. vakisa vakamemia ifyombo fyave fyoni fyope fikatengula kusovelela.
They motioned to their partners in the other boat to come and help them. So they came and filled both the boats [with fish from the net]. The result was that the boats were so full that they began to sink.
8 neke uSimoni Peteli ati avwene ndikio, akaghua pamafundo gha Yesu akati, “Mutwa vuuka palyune, ulwakuva une nilinisambi”
Simon and all the men who were with him were amazed at how many fish they had taken. James and John, the two sons of Zebedee, who were Simon’s partners, were among those who were amazed. When Simon, [whose other name was] Peter, saw [the fish, feeling ashamed to be in the presence of someone who obviously had God’s power], he prostrated himself before Jesus and said, “Lord, you should go away from me, because I am a sinful man!”
9 ulwakuva alyadeghisivue na voni vanovalyale palikimo nu mwene kuvusuvi vwa swi vuno vakavuvombile.
10 ili likavakong'anisie uYakovo nu Yohani avaanha va Sebedayo, vano valyale vakong'aniki va Simoni. uYesu akam'bula u Simoni akati, “nungoghopaghe, ulwakuva kutengulila lino nakughendelela ghutengula kusuvula avaanhu”
But Jesus said to Simon, “Do not be afraid! [Up until now you(sg) have been gathering fish] [MET], but from now on you will gather people [to become my disciples].”
11 vati vahumisie ifyombo fyave ku iisi indaghafu vakafileka na kumbingilila umwene.
So after they brought the boats to the shore, they left their business [HYP] [in the hands of others] and went with Jesus.
12 jilyahumile kuuti ye alyafikile mu mpulo ghumonga, umuunhu juno alyale amemile uvukoma alyale ukuo. ati amwaghile uYesu, akasula misia umutu ghake paasi na kukufunya akati,” Mutwa nave ghunoghua, ghuwesia kunivalasia”.
While [Jesus] was in one of the cities [there in the district of Galilee], there was a man there who was very severely affected by leprosy. When he saw Jesus, he prostrated himself before him and, [wanting Jesus to heal him], pleaded with him, “Lord/Sir, [please heal me, because] you are able to heal me if you are willing to!”
13 pe pano uYesu akagholosia uluvoko lwake na kun'kola, akati,” nilonda kuvalasivua” nu n'siki ghula ghula uvukoma vukamuleka.
[Then Jesus, disregarding the religious law that forbade people to come close to lepers], reached out his hand and touched the man. He said, “I am willing [to heal you]; and I heal you now!” Immediately the man [was healed]. He was no longer a leper [PRS]!
14 akamulaghisia nangam'bulaghe umuunhu ghweni, neke akam'bula kuuti, “lutagha juve ghwe mwene ukajivonesie kuvatekesi na kuhumia ilitekelo lwa kuvalasuvua, palikimo na kila kino uMoose akuvuli ku vujovi vwako.
Then Jesus told him, “Make sure that you do not report [your healing immediately. First, go to a priest in Jerusalem] and show yourself to him [so that he can examine you and verify that you no longer have leprosy]. After the priest tells [the local people], they will know that [you have been healed, and you will be able to associate with them again]. Also take to the priest [the offering] that Moses commanded [that people who have been healed from leprosy should offer].”
15 neke imhola inofu sikaghenda kutali kyongo, ni lipugha likome ilya vaanhu likisa palikimo kumpulikisia ye ivulanisia na kusosia inhamu savo.
But many people heard the man’s report of what [Jesus had done]. The result was that large crowds came to Jesus to hear his [message] and to be healed of their sicknesses {so that he would heal their sicknesses}.
16 neke ke kinga ikukala kuvusyefu kukufunya.
But he often would go away from them to the desolate area and pray.
17 kikahumile ikighono kimonga mu fighono fino alyale ivulanisia, pwevalyale avaFalisayi na vavulanisi vwa ndaghilo vano vakikalile apuo vano vakisile kuhumila mu fikaaja ifingi mu vughavo vwa Galilaya na ku Yudea kange kuhumila mu mpulo ghwa Yelusalemu. ingufu sa Nguluve silyale palikimo nave kunsosia.
One day when [Jesus] was teaching, some men from the Pharisee [sect] were sitting there. Some of them were men who taught the [Jewish] laws. They had come from many [HYP] villages in Galilee [district] and also from Jerusalem and from [other] villages in Judea [district]. [At that time while] God was giving Jesus power to heal people,
18 avaanhu vamonga vakisile vampindile mu kitefu umuunhu juno v, pe vakalonda isila ja kumwingisia mun'kate neke kumughonia pavulogolo pa Yesu.
several men brought on a sleeping pad a man who was paralyzed. They wanted to bring him into [the house] and lay him in front of Jesus.
19 navaka jaghile isila ja kumwingisia mun'kate ulwakuva ilipugha lya vaanhu lilyale likome. pe vakatogha pakyanya pa lipaala lya nyumba na kumwisia umuunhu jula paasi kukilia mu figai pe vakavika pakate pa vaanhu pavulongolo pa Yesu.
But there was no way to do that because of the large crowd of people, so they went up [the steps] onto the roof. They tied ropes onto the sleeping pad and, after [removing some of] the tiles on the roof, they lowered the man [on] the sleeping pad. They lowered him through the opening into the midst of the crowd in front of Jesus.
20 lolagha ulwitiko lwako, uYesu akati, “nyalukolo usaghilue isambi sako”
When Jesus perceived that they believed that [he could heal the man], he said to him, “My friend, [I] forgive your sins!”
21 avavulanisi na vaFarisayi vakatengula kuposia ilio. akaati uju ghwe veni juno ijova imbivi? ghwe veni juno isaghila isambi neke ghwe Nguluve mwene?
The men who taught the [Jewish] laws and the rest of the Pharisees began to think within themselves, “Who does this man [think he is, saying] that? He is insulting God! (Nobody can forgive sins!/What person can forgive sins?) [RHQ] Only God can do that!”
22 neke uYesu, akakagwile kiki vakale visagha, akavamula na kukuvavula,”
Jesus perceived what they were thinking. So he said to them, “(You should not think that way [about what I said]!/Why do you question within yourselves [about what I said]?) [RHQ] [Consider this]:
23 kiki mukuposesania mu mooja ghinu? kiliku kye kihugu kujova, 'isambi sako sisaghilue' au kuuti 'ghenda ulute?'
It would [not] be risky [for someone] to say [to this man], ‘[I] forgive your sins,’ [because no one could see whether or not his sins were really forgiven. But no one] [RHQ], [without having the power to heal], would say to [him], ‘Get up and walk!’ [because people could easily see whether he was healed or not].
24 neke mukagule kuuti umwana ghwa muunhu ali nu vutavulua vwa kusaghila isambi mu iisi. nukukuvula uve, 'sisimuka utole ilitefu lyako ulutaghe ku nyumba jako
But [as a result of my healing this man] you [(pl)] will know that [God] has authorized [me], the one who came from heaven, to forgive the sins [of people while I am on] the earth, [as well as to heal people].” Then he said to the man who was paralyzed, “To you I say, ‘Get up, pick up your sleeping pad, and go home!’”
25 unsiki ghughuo akasisimuka pa vulongolo pa veeve, akatola ilitefu lwake ghuno akaghonile. pe akagomoka kwa mwene na kukumughinia uNguluve.
Immediately the man [was healed]. He stood up in front of them. He picked up the [sleeping pad] on which he had been lying, and went home, praising God.
26 avaanhu voni vakadeghisivue na kumwimika uNguluve. vakamemilue nu vwoghofi vakatisagha,”tusaghile sino nasajaatu umusyughu”
All the people [there] were amazed! They praised God and were completely awestruck. They kept saying, “We [(inc)] have seen wonderful things today!”
27 pe lino ye ghahumile aghuo, uYesu alyahumile ukuo kuhuma ukuo na kukumwagha unsongesia songo juno akemeluagha Lawi ikalile ulubale lwa kusongekesia isongo, akavavula akati, “mbingilile”
Then [Jesus] left [the town] and saw a man who collected taxes [for the Roman government]. His name was Levi. He was sitting in the booth where he collected the taxes. Jesus said to him, “Come with me [and become my disciple]!”
28 pe uLawi akima na kumbingilila, akafileka ifinu fyoni kunsana.
So Levi left his work [HYP] and went with Jesus.
29 pe uLawi akavika ku nyumba ja mwene ikikulukulu ikikome vwimila Yesu. pe valyale avasonesia songo vinga na vaanhu avange vinga vakikalile pamesa na pilia palikimo na veene.
Afterwards, Levi prepared a big feast in his own house [for Jesus and his disciples]. There was a large group of tax collectors and others eating together with them.
30 neke avaFarisayi na valembi vaave valyale vikuvasukunalila avavulanisivua, vakati, “kiki mulia na pinyua na vasongesia songo palikimo na vaanhu avange avanya sambi?”
The men who were there who taught the [Jewish] laws, ones who belonged to the Pharisee [sect], complained to Jesus’ disciples, saying, “([It is disgusting that] you are eating with tax collectors and [others who we(exc) consider to be] sinners!/Why are you eating with tax collectors [and others who we(exc) consider to be] sinners?)” [RHQ]
31 uYesu akavamula akati, “avaanhu vano va nu vwumi uvunono navanoghile kukumulonda umughanga, neke vala veene vano vatamu vevene vikumulonda umughanga.
Then, [to indicate that it was those who knew that they had sinned who were coming to him for help], Jesus said to them, “[It is] people who are sick who need a doctor, not those who are well [MET].
32 nanikisile kuvakemhela avanya kyang'ani neke valate, looli kuvakemela avanya sambi vapate kulaata”
[Similarly], I did not come [from heaven] to invite [those who think they are] righteous [to come to me]. On the contrary, [I came to invite those who know that they are] sinners to turn from their sinful behavior [and come to me].”
33 vakam'bula vakati, “avavulanisivua va Yohani ke kinga vitogha kukidunda na kusuma, avavulanisivua na vafarisayi vope vivomba vule vule. neke avavulanisivua vako vilia na kunyua”
[Those Jewish leaders] said to Jesus, “The disciples of John [the Baptizer] often abstain from food [to show that they want to please God], and the disciples of the Pharisees do that, too. But your disciples keep on eating and drinking! [Why do not they fast like the others]?”
34 uYesu akavavula akati, “jiwesekana umuunhu ghweni kudinda uvutolani kuvano vaghongolilue unsiki ghuno unyavutolani ajighe navo?
[To show them that it was not appropriate for his disciples to be sad and abstain from food while he was still with them] [MET], Jesus said to them, “When (the bridegroom/man who is getting married) is with [his friends at the time of the wedding], you certainly do not make his friends abstain from food, do you [RHQ]? [No, you do not do that].
35 neke ifighono filikwisa unsiki ghuno unyavutolani vikum'busia ku veene, pepano mu fighono ifio ilidinda.
[But] some day he will be taken away {[his enemies] will take him away} from them. Then, at that time, his friends will abstain from food, [because they will be sad].”
36 pe uYesu akajova navo kange ku kihwani akati,”nakwale umuunhu juno idemula ulubale lwa mwenda kuhuma mu mwenda umpya na kuhonela mu mwenda un'kulu. nave ivomba nahele, idemula umwenda umpya nu lubale lwa mwenda umpya nakwale kinoghela kuhonela mu mwenda un'kulu.
Then Jesus told them two parables [to show them that those who desire to live according to God’s new message should not be forced to obey the old religious traditions like] ([fasting/abstaining from food]), [and that those who know only the old traditions are not eager to accept new ones] [MET]. He said, “People never tear a piece of cloth from a new garment and attach it to an old garment [to mend it]. If they did that, not only would they be ruining the new garment by tearing it, but the new piece of cloth would not match the old garment.
37 kange nakwale umuunhu juno ivika uluhuje ulupia mu supa ing'ulu, ndeve ivomba ndikio, uluhuje ulupia lwale lubajula isupa jila, nu luhuje lwale lukung'ika ni supa sale sibajuka.
Neither does anyone put freshly-[squeezed] grape juice into old skin bags [to store it]. If anyone did that, the grape juice would burst the skin bags [because they would not stretch when the] new [wine ferments and expands. Then] the skin bags would be ruined, and [the wine] would [also] be spilled.
38 neke uluhuje uupia lunoghile kuvika mu supa imia.
On the contrary, new wine must be put into new wineskins.
39 kange nakwale umuunhu juno alekile pinyua uluhuje ulupia neke anyue ulukulu, ulwakuva viiti ulwapakali lwe lunono kukila”
Furthermore, those who have drunk [only] old wine [are content with that]. They do not want to drink the new wine, because they say, ‘The old wine is [MET] fine!’”
