Luke 5
1 Ó sì ṣe, nígbà tí ìjọ ènìyàn súnmọ́ ọn láti gbọ́ ọ̀rọ̀ Ọlọ́run, tí ó sì dúró létí adágún Genesareti.
On one occasion the crowd was pressing on Him and listening to God's Message, while He was standing by the Lake of Gennesaret.
2 Ó rí ọkọ̀ méjì ti o wá létí adágún: èyí tí àwọn apẹja ti sọ̀kalẹ̀ kúrò nínú wọn, nítorí tí wọ́n ń fọ àwọ̀n wọn.
He, however, saw two fishing-boats drawn up on the beach (for the men had gone away from them and were washing the nets),
3 Ó sì wọ ọ̀kan nínú àwọn ọkọ̀ náà, tí í ṣe ti Simoni, ó sì bẹ̀ ẹ́ kí ó tì í sí ẹ̀yìn díẹ̀ kúrò ní ilẹ̀. Ó sì jókòó, ó sì ń kọ́ ìjọ ènìyàn láti inú ọkọ̀ náà.
and going on board one of them, which was Simon's He asked him to push out a little from land. Then He sat down and taught the crowd of people from the boat.
4 Bí ó sì ti dákẹ́ ọ̀rọ̀ sísọ, ó wí fún Simoni pé, “Tì í sí ibú, kí o sì ju àwọ̀n yín sí ìsàlẹ̀ fún àkópọ̀.”
When He had finished speaking, He said to Simon, "Push out into deep water, and let down your nets for a haul."
5 Simoni sì dáhùn ó sì wí fún un pé, “Olùkọ́ni, gbogbo òru ni àwa fi ṣiṣẹ́, àwa kò sì mú nǹkan kan: ṣùgbọ́n nítorí ọ̀rọ̀ rẹ èmi ó ju àwọ̀n náà sí ìsàlẹ̀.”
"Rabbi," replied Peter, "all night long we have worked hard and caught nothing; but at your command I will let down the nets."
6 Nígbà tí wọ́n sì ti ṣe èyí, wọ́n kó ọ̀pọ̀lọpọ̀ ẹja: àwọ̀n wọn sì ya.
This they did, and enclosed a vast number of fish; and their nets began to break.
7 Wọ́n sì pe àwọn ẹgbẹ́ wọn, tí ó wà nínú ọkọ̀ kejì, kí wọn kí ó wá ràn wọ́n lọ́wọ́. Wọ́n sì wá, wọ́n kó ẹja ọkọ̀ méjèèjì sì kún, bẹ́ẹ̀ ni wọ́n bẹ̀rẹ̀ sí í rì.
So they signalled to their partners in the other boat to come and help them; they came, and they filled both the boats so that they almost sank.
8 Nígbà tí Simoni Peteru sì rí i, ó wólẹ̀ lẹ́bàá eékún Jesu, ó wí pé, “Lọ kúrò lọ́dọ̀ mi Olúwa; nítorí ẹlẹ́ṣẹ̀ ni mí.”
When Simon Peter saw this, he fell down at the knees of Jesus, and exclaimed, "Master, leave my boat, for I am a sinful man."
9 Ẹnu sì yà wọ́n, àti gbogbo àwọn tí ń bẹ pẹ̀lú rẹ̀, fún àkópọ̀ ẹja tí wọ́n kó,
(For he was astonished and terrified--he and all his companions--at the haul of fish which they had taken;
10 bẹ́ẹ̀ ni Jakọbu àti Johanu àwọn ọmọ Sebede, tí ń ṣe alábákẹ́gbẹ́ Simoni. Jesu sì wí fún Simoni pé, “Má bẹ̀rù; láti ìsinsin yìí lọ ìwọ ó máa mú ènìyàn.”
and so were Simon's partners James and John, the sons of Zabdi.) But Jesus replied to Simon, "Fear not: from this time you shall be a catcher of men."
11 Nígbà tí wọ́n sì ti mú ọkọ̀ wọn dé ilẹ̀, wọ́n fi gbogbo rẹ̀ sílẹ̀, wọ́n sì tọ̀ ọ́ lẹ́yìn lọ.
Then, after bringing their boats to land, they left everything and followed Him.
12 Ó sì ṣe, nígbà tí Jesu wọ ọ̀kan nínú àwọn ìlú náà, kíyèsi i, ọkùnrin kan tí ẹ̀tẹ̀ bò wa síbẹ̀: nígbà tí ó rí Jesu, ó wólẹ̀, ó sì ń bẹ̀ ẹ́, wí pé, “Olúwa, bí ìwọ bá fẹ́, ìwọ lè sọ mí di mímọ́.”
On another occasion, when He was in one of the towns, there was a man there covered with leprosy, who, seeing Jesus, threw himself at His feet and implored Him, saying, "Sir, if only you are willing, you are able to make me clean."
13 Jesu sì na ọwọ́ rẹ̀, ó fi kàn án, ó ní, “Mo fẹ́, ìwọ di mímọ́!” Lójúkan náà ẹ̀tẹ̀ sì fi í sílẹ̀ lọ.
Reaching out His hand and touching him, Jesus said, "I am willing; be cleansed!" And instantly the leprosy left him.
14 Ó sì kìlọ̀ fún u pé, “Kí ó má ṣe sọ fún ẹnìkan: ṣùgbọ́n kí ó lọ, kí ó sì fi ara rẹ̀ hàn fún àlùfáà, kí ó sì ta ọrẹ fún ìwẹ̀nùmọ́ rẹ̀, gẹ́gẹ́ bí Mose ti pàṣẹ gẹ́gẹ́ bi ẹ̀rí fun wọn.”
He ordered him to tell no one. "But go," He said, "show yourself to the Priest, and make the offering for your purification which Moses appointed, as evidence for them."
15 Ṣùgbọ́n òkìkí rẹ̀ ń kàn kálẹ̀: tó bẹ́ẹ̀ tí ọ̀pọ̀ ìjọ ènìyàn sì jùmọ̀ pàdé láti gbọ́ ọ̀rọ̀ rẹ̀, àti láti gba ìwòsàn lọ́dọ̀ rẹ̀ kúrò lọ́wọ́ àìlera wọn.
But all the more the report about Him spread abroad, and great multitudes crowded to hear Him and to be cured of their diseases;
16 Ṣùgbọ́n lọ́pọ̀ ìgbà ni Jesu a máa yẹra kúrò si ibi ìdákẹ́rọ́rọ́, òun á sì máa dá wà láti gbàdúrà.
but Jesus Himself constantly withdrew into the Desert and there prayed.
17 Ní ọjọ́ kan, bí ó sì ti ń kọ́ni, àwọn Farisi àti àwọn amòfin jókòó pẹ̀lú rẹ̀, àwọn tí ó ti àwọn ìletò Galili gbogbo, àti Judea, àti Jerusalẹmu wá: agbára Olúwa sì ń bẹ pẹ̀lú rẹ̀ láti mú wọn láradá.
One day He was teaching, and there were Pharisees and teachers of the Law sitting there who had come from every village in Galilee and Judaea and from Jerusalem. And the power of the Lord was present for Him to cure people.
18 Sá à sì kíyèsi i, àwọn ọkùnrin kan gbé ẹnìkan tí ó ní ààrùn ẹ̀gbà wà lórí àkéte: wọ́n ń wá ọ̀nà àti gbé e wọlé, àti láti tẹ́ ẹ síwájú Jesu.
And a party of men came carrying a palsied man on a bed, and they endeavoured to bring him in and lay him before Jesus.
19 Nígbà tí wọn kò sì rí ọ̀nà tí wọn ìbá fi gbé e wọlé nítorí ìjọ ènìyàn, wọ́n gbé e gun òkè àjà ilé lọ, wọ́n sọ̀ ọ́ kalẹ̀ sí àárín èrò ti òun ti àkéte rẹ̀ níwájú Jesu.
But when they could find no way of doing so because of the crowd, they went up on the roof and let him down through the tiling--bed and all--into the midst, in front of Jesus.
20 Nígbà tí ó sì rí ìgbàgbọ́ wọn, ó wí pé, “Ọkùnrin yìí, a darí ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ rẹ jì ọ́.”
He saw their faith and said to him, "Friend, your sins are forgiven."
21 Àwọn akọ̀wé àti àwọn Farisi bẹ̀rẹ̀ sí í gbèrò wí pé, “Ta ni eléyìí tí ń sọ ọ̀rọ̀-òdì? Ta ni ó lè dárí ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ ji ni bí kò ṣe Ọlọ́run nìkan ṣoṣo.”
Then the Scribes and Pharisees began to cavil, asking, "Who is this, uttering blasphemies? Who but God alone can forgive sins?"
22 Jesu sì mọ èrò inú wọn, ó dáhùn ó sì wí fún wọn pé, “Èéṣe tí ẹ fi ń ro nǹkan wọ̀nyí nínú ọkàn yín?
Well aware of their reasonings, Jesus answered their questions by asking in turn, "What is this that you are debating in your hearts?
23 Èwo ni ó yá jù: láti wí pé, ‘A dárí ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ rẹ jì ọ́,’ tàbí láti wí pé, ‘Dìde kí ìwọ sì máa rìn’?
Which is easier? --to say, 'Your sins are forgiven,' or to say, 'Rise and walk'?
24 Ṣùgbọ́n kí ẹ̀yin lè mọ̀ pé Ọmọ Ènìyàn ní agbára ní ayé láti dárí ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ ji ni.” Ó wí fún ẹlẹ́gbà náà pé, “Mo wí fún ọ, dìde, sì gbé àkéte rẹ, kí o sì máa lọ sí ilé!”
But to prove to you that the Son of Man has authority on earth to forgive sins" --Turning to the paralytic He said, "I bid you, Rise, take up your bed, and go home."
25 Ó sì dìde lọ́gán níwájú wọn, ó gbé ohun tí ó dùbúlẹ̀ lé, ó sì lọ sí ilé rẹ̀, ó yin Ọlọ́run lógo.
Instantly he stood up in their presence, took up the mattress on which he had been lying, and went away to his home, giving glory to God.
26 Ẹnu sì ya gbogbo wọn, wọ́n sì yin Ọlọ́run lógo, ẹ̀rù sì bà wọ́n, wọ́n ń wí pé, “Àwa rí ohun ìyanu lónìí.”
Amazement seized them all. "Glory to God!" was the abiding feeling. Yet fear flashed through their minds and they said, "We have seen strange things to-day."
27 Lẹ́hìn èyí, Jesu jáde lọ, ó sì rí agbowó òde kan tí à ń pè ní Lefi, ó jókòó sí ibi tí ó ti ń gba owó òde, Jesu sì wí fún un pé, “Tẹ̀lé mi,”
After this He went out and noticed a tax-gatherer, Levi by name, sitting at the Toll office; and He said to him, "Follow me."
28 Lefi sì fi ohun gbogbo sílẹ̀ ó sì ń tẹ̀lé e.
He rose, left everything, and followed Him.
29 Lefi sì ṣe àsè ńlá kan fún Jesu ní ilé rẹ̀, ọ̀pọ̀ àwọn agbowó òde àti àwọn mìíràn sì ń jẹun pẹ̀lú wọn.
Levi also gave a great entertainment at his house in honour of Jesus, and there was a large party of tax-gatherers and others at table with them.
30 Ṣùgbọ́n àwọn Farisi, àwọn olùkọ́ òfin tí ó jẹ́ ara wọn fi ẹ̀sùn kan àwọn ọmọ-ẹ̀yìn pe, “Èéṣe tí ẹ̀yin fi ń jẹun tí ẹ sì ń mú pẹ̀lú àwọn agbowó òde àti àwọn ẹlẹ́ṣẹ̀.”
This led the Pharisees and Scribes of their party to expostulate with His disciples and ask, "Why are you eating and drinking with these tax-gatherers and notorious sinners?"
31 Jesu dáhùn ó wí fún wọn pé, “Ẹni tí ara rẹ̀ le kò nílò oníṣègùn, bí kò ṣe ẹni tí ara rẹ̀ kò dá.
But Jesus replied to them, "It is not men in good health who require a physician, but the sick.
32 Èmí kò wá láti pe àwọn olódodo bí kò ṣe àwọn ẹlẹ́ṣẹ̀ sí ìrònúpìwàdà.”
I have not come to call the righteous to repentance, but sinners."
33 Wọ́n wí fún pé, “Àwọn ọmọ-ẹ̀yìn Johanu a máa gbààwẹ̀, wọn a sì máa gbàdúrà, bẹ́ẹ̀ pẹ̀lú sì ni àwọn ọmọ-ẹ̀yìn àwọn Farisi ṣùgbọ́n àwọn ọmọ-ẹ̀yìn rẹ̀ a máa jẹ, wọn a sì máa mu pẹ̀lú.”
Again they said to Him, "John's disciples fast often and pray, as do also those of the pharisees; but yours eat and drink."
34 Jesu sì dáhùn ó wí fún wọn pé, “Ǹjẹ́ ó ṣe é ṣe kí àwọn àlejò ọkọ ìyàwó máa gbààwẹ̀ nígbà tí ọkọ ìyàwó wà pẹ̀lú wọn bí?
"Can you compel the bridal party to fast," replied Jesus, "so long as they have the bridegroom among them?
35 Ṣùgbọ́n àkókò ń bọ̀ nígbà tí a ó gba ọkọ ìyàwó kúrò lọ́dọ̀ wọn, ní àwọn ọjọ́ wọ̀nyí ni wọn yóò gbààwẹ̀.”
But a time for this will come, when the Bridegroom has been taken away from them: then, at that time, they will fast."
36 Ó sì pa òwe yìí fún wọn wí pé, “Kò sí ẹni tó lè ya aṣọ tuntun kí ó sì rán mọ́, èyí tó ti gbó. Tí ó ba ṣe èyí, yóò ba aṣọ tuntun jẹ́, èyí tí ó tuntun náà kì yóò sì dọ́gba pẹ̀lú èyí tí ó ti gbó.
He also spoke in figurative language to them. "No one," He said, "tears a piece from a new garment to mend an old one. Otherwise he would not only spoil the new, but the patch from the new would not match the old.
37 Àti wí pé, kò sí ẹni tí ó lè dá ọtí wáìnì tuntun sínú ògbólógbòó ìgò-awọ, tí ó bá ṣe èyí, wáìnì tuntun yóò fa awọ náà ya, wáìnì náà yóò dànù, awọ náà a sì bàjẹ́.
Nor does any one pour new wine into old wine-skins. Otherwise the new wine would burst the skins, the wine itself would be spilt, and the skins be destroyed.
38 Nítorí náà, ó tọ́ kí á da wáìnì tuntun sínú awọ tuntun.
But new wine must be put into fresh wineskins.
39 Kò sì ẹni tí yóò fẹ́ láti mu wáìnì tuntun lẹ́yìn tí ó bá ti mu ògbólógbòó tán, nítorí yóò wí pé, ‘Èyí tí ó jẹ́ ògbólógbòó dára jù.’”
Nor does any one after drinking old wine wish for new; for he says, 'The old is better.'"
