Luke 5
1 Lumbu kimosi yesu kaba muyenda disimu di mbu wu Ngenezaleti ayi sumbu nkangu wu batu wunzungidila mu diambu di wa mambu ma Nzambi,
And it came to pass while the multitude was pressing on him to hear the word of God, and he was standing by the lake of Gennesaret,
2 buna wumona minlungu miodi muyenda mbu. Minlobi mi zimbizi bakuluka kuawu mu minlungu miawu bila makondi mawu baba sukula.
that he saw two ships standing by the lake: but the fishermen had gone out of them, and were washing their nets.
3 Nlungu wumosi wuba wu Simoni. Yesu wukuma muawu ayi wunkambakatatukila fioti disimu. Buna wuvuanda muna nlungu ayi wutona longa nkangu.
And he entered one of the ships, which was Simon’s, and requested him to push out a little from the land. And he sat down and taught the multitude from the ship.
4 Buna kamanisa yoluka, wukamba Simoni: —Kuesa nlungu kungingi nlangu, kuna kuidi thimpula bosi ngeyo ayi bakundi baku lozanu makondi meno mu diambu di luloba.
And when he had made an end of speaking, he said to Simon: Push out into the deep water, and let down your nets for a draught.
5 Vayi Simoni wumvutudila: —A nlongi, builu bumvimba tusedi vayi kadi kiasa tusia baka ko. Vayi sumbu wuthumini, ndieka loza makondi.
And Simon answered and said to him: Master, we have toiled all night and have caught nothing; but at thy command, I will let down the net.
6 Baloza makondi ayi babaka zimbizi ziwombo; ayi makondi mawu tsatu makanzuka.
And when they had done this, they inclosed a great number of fishes, and their net began to break;
7 Buna batumisa bakundi bawu bobo baba mu nlungu wunkaka muingi biza basadisa. Bayiza ayi minlungu mioso mimiodi miwala zimbizi, ayi tsatu midiama.
and they beckoned to their partners who were in the other ship, to come and help them. And they came and filled both the ships, so that they began to sink.
8 Bu kamona bobo, Simoni-Piela wufukama va malu ma Yesu ayi wunkamba: —Pfumu, bika wuthatukila bila ndidi nkua masumu.
And when Simon Peter saw it, he fell down at the knees of Jesus, and said: Depart from me, Lord, for I am a sinful man.
9 Muaki lukhuku lumbuila va kimosi ayi bakundi bandi mu mona phila zimbizi baloba.
For amazement at the draught of fishes which they had caught had seized upon him and all that were with him;
10 Zaki ayi Yowani, bana ba Zebede, bakundi ba Simoni, mamvawu lukhuku lu babuila. Buna Yesu wukamba Simoni: —Bika mona tsisi bila tona buabu wela ba nlobi wu batu.
and in like manner also upon James and John the sons of Zebedee, who were partners with Simon. And Jesus said to Simon: Fear not; from this time forth you shall catch men.
11 Bu bavutula minlungu miawu ku disimu, basia bika bibioso ayi balandakana Yesu.
And when they had brought their ships to the land, they left all and followed him.
12 Lumbu kimosi Yesu bu kaba mu divula dimosi, kuna kutotukila mutu wumosi wuba ayi buazi. Bu kamona Yesu, mutu beni wufukamava ntualꞌandi vayi wuyinika zizi kiandi mu tsi ayi wunleba: —A Pfumu, enati tidi buna wulenda kuaku kumvedisa!
And it came to pass, that he was in one of their cities; and behold, a man full of leprosy; and when he saw Jesus, he fell on his face and besought him, saying: Lord, if thou wilt, thou canst make me clean.
13 Yesu wunonuna koko kuandi, wunsimba ayi wunkamba: —Nyinga, thidi, vedila kuaku! Mu yina thangu, wuvedila mu buazi buandi.
And stretching out his hand, he touched him, and said: I will; be clean. And immediately his leprosy departed from him.
14 Vayi wunkandika kabika kamba kadi kuidi mutu wumosi mambu mavangimini mu niandi. Vayi wunkamba: —Yenda kimonisa kuidi nganga yi Nzambi ayi nata dikaba dilomba Moyizemu diambu diba kimbangi kuidi bawu.
And he charged him to tell no one; but go, show yourself to the priest, and make offering for your cleansing, as Moses commanded, that it may be a testimony to them.
15 Tsangu yi Yesu yiluta muangana. Diawu minkangu miwombo mi batu bayiza muingi banwa ayi muingi babelusu mu bimbevo biawu.
But his fame went abroad the more; and many multitudes came together to hear, and to be cured by him of their infirmities.
16 Vayi niandi wuyenda tinina mu bibuangu bisuama mu diambu kasambila.
And he withdrew to the deserts and prayed.
17 Lumbu kimosi bu kaba longa, Bafalisi ayi minlongi mi mina bobobatotukila mu mala moso ma Ngalili, ma Yuda ayi ma Yelusalemi bayizavuanda vana ayi lulendo lu Pfumu lumonika mu bambevo baba balusanga Yesu.
And it came to pass, on a certain day, that he was teaching, and there were Pharisees and teachers of the law sitting by, who had come from every village of Galilee and Judea and Jerusalem; and the power of the Lord was exerted to heal them.
18 Zimbukila babakala batotuka, banata dikoka mu kimpoyi. Batomba diluaku di kunkotisila mu nzo muingi bantula va ntuala Yesu.
And behold, men brought, on a bed, a man who was a paralytic. And they sought how they might bring him in, and lay him before him.
19 Vayi basia baka ko diluaku di kunkotisila mu diambu di nkangu wu batu. Diawu bakumina ku mbata muanzu ayi batobudila divudumu muanzu, bosi, bakulula dikoka beni mu kiphoyi va khatitsika batu, va ntuala Yesu.
And finding no way by which they could bring him in, because of the multitude, they went up on the top of the house, and, through the tiling, let him down, with his bed, into the midst before Jesus.
20 Yesu bu kamona minu ki batu bobo, wukamba: —Nkundi ama, masumu maku malemvokolo.
And when he saw their faith, he said to him: Man, your sins are forgiven you.
21 Minlongi mi Mina ayi Bafalisi batona niunguta ayi bakambasana: —Buna nani mutu wawu wuntuba mamu ma mvuezolo e? Nani beki minsuamu lemvukil masumu? A keti Nzambi kaka e?
And the scribes and Pharisees began to reason, saying: Who is this that utters impious words? Who can forgive sins but God alone?
22 Vayi Yesu wuzaba mayindu mawu, ayi wuba kamba: —Bila mbi lunyindudila bobo mu mintima mieno e?
But Jesus perceived their reasonings, and answered and said to them: Why are you reasoning in your hearts?
23 Mbi bilutidi kambu phasi mu kamba: “Masumu maku malemvokolo” voti “telama kuaku ayi diata?”
Which is easier, to say., Your sins are forgiven you; or to say, Arise and walk?
24 Vayi muingi luzaba ti muana mutu beki lulendo va ntoto lu lemvukila masumu… Buna wukamba dikoka: —Minu ndikutumina: “Telema, bonga kiphoyi kiaku ayi vutuka ku nzoꞌaku!”
But that you may know that the Son of man on the earth has power to forgive sins, (he said to the paralytic, ) I say to you, Arise, and take up your bed, and go to your house.
25 Vana vawu dikoka ditelama, va meso ma batu boso, dibongakiphoyi kiandi ayi divutuka ku nzoꞌandi. Sumbu kavutuka wulembu kembisa Nzambi.
And he immediately arose before them, took up that on which he had been lying, and went away to his own house, glorifying God.
26 Batu boso basimina, bakembisa Nzambi kutsi boma baba vayi batuba: —Matsiminanga tumueni buabu.
And astonishment seized upon all, and they glorified God, and were filled with fear, saying: We have seen strange things to-day.
27 Mambu momo bu mavioka, Yesu wuyenda kuandi. Vayi wumona mfutisi wumosi wu ziphaku mu nzila, buna kavuendi mu bilu kimfutusulungu ziphaku, dizina diandi Levi. Buna wuntela ayi wunkamba: —Wundandakana.
And after these tilings, he went out and saw a publican named Levi, sitting at the custom-house; and he said to him: Follow me.
28 Mutu beni wutelama, wubika bima bioso ayi wulandakana Yesu.
And leaving all, he arose and followed him.
29 Buna Levi wukubikila Yesu ndikulu dinneni, ku nzoꞌandi. Batu bawombo baba yawu va meza. Mu bawu muba mimfutisi mi ziphaku.
And Levi made him a great feast at his own house; and there was a great multitude of publicans and others, who reclined at table with them.
30 Bafalisi ayi minlongi mi mina miomi miba mu dingumba diawu mifuema ayi bayuvula minlonguki mi Yesu ti: —Bila mbi lulembo dila ayi nuina va kimosi ayi mimfutisi mi ziphaku miomi, bankua masumu e?
And their scribes and the Pharisees murmured against his disciples, saying: Why do you eat and drink with publicans and sinners?
31 Yesu wuba vutudila: —Batu bobo badi nitu yi buvini batombanga munganga ko. Vayi batu badi bimbevo bawu bantombanga munganga.
And Jesus answered arid said to them: They that are well have no need of a physician, but they that are sick.
32 Ndisia kuiza tela batu basonga ko vayi ndiyiza mu diambu di tela bankua masumu.
I have not come to call righteous men, but sinners, to repentance.
33 Buna bankaka banyuvula: —Bila mbi minlonguki mi Yowani ayi mi Bafalisi mikukifuisanganzala mu diambu di lusambulu vayi miaku mindia ayi minua e?
And they said to him: Why do the disciples of John fast often, and make prayers, and likewise the disciples of the Pharisees, but yours eat and drink?
34 Yesu wuba vutudila: —A beno lumbanza ti batu bobo batumusu, kuidi ditoko diodi dikuedidi, balenda kukifuisa nzala mu diambu di lusambulu ditoko dikuedidi bu dikidi yawu va kimosi e?
And he said to them: Can you make the sons of the bride-chamber fast, while the bridegroom is with them?
35 Vayi vadi thangu bu bela ku babotula ditoko, buna bosi mu bilumbu binabela kukifuisa nzala mu diambu di lusambulu.
But the days will come when the bridegroom shall be taken from them; then shall they fast in those days.
36 Buna wuba kamba nongo yimosi: —Mutu kalendi ko kanzuna tendi kinledi wumona muingi kalondila nledi wunkhulu. Bila buna maka kanzuna nledi wumona ayi tendi kioki kabongidi mu nledi wumona kilendi fuanakana ko ayi tendi kikhulu.
And he spoke also a parable to them: No one patches an old garment with a piece taken from a new garment. If so, the new tears it, and the patch from the new suits not the old.
37 Bobuawu, mutu kalendi tula ko vinu kimona mu zitsaku zikhulu bilanganu vinu kimona kilenda kanzuna zitsaku zikhulu. Buna vinu kidukukidi ayi zitsaku zifuidi.
And no one puts new wine into old bottles; if so, the new wine will burst the bottles, and it will be spilled, and the bottles will be destroyed.
38 Vayi bufueni mu tula vinu kimona mu zitsaku zimona.
But new wine must be put into new bottles, and both will be preserved.
39 Kuisi ko mutu wunua vinu kikhulu wubuela tomba diaka nua vinu kimona bila kafueti tuba: vinu kikhulu kilutidi lueki!
And no one, after drinking old wine, immediately desires new; for he says: The old is better.
