¹And it came to pass, in the multitude pressing on him to hear the word of God, that he was standing beside the lake of Gennesaret,

¹Aga sündis, kui Jeesus seisis Genneesareti järve ääres ja rahvas tema juurde tungles Jumala sõna kuulama,

²and he saw two boats standing beside the lake, and the fishers, having gone away from them, were washing the nets,

²et ta nägi kaht paati järve ääres seisvat. Aga kalurid olid neist välja läinud ja loputasid võrke.

³and having entered into one of the boats, that was Simon`s, he asked him to put back a little from the land, and having sat down, was teaching the multitudes out of the boat.

³Astunud paati, mis oli Siimona oma, palus Jeesus teda natuke maad rannast eemale sõuda. Ning ta istus ja õpetas rahvahulki paadist.

⁴And when he left off speaking, he said unto Simon, `Put back to the deep, and let down your nets for a draught;`

⁴Aga kui ta lõpetas kõnelemise, ütles ta Siimonale: 'Sõua sügavale kohale ja laske oma võrgud vette loomuse katseks!'

⁵and Simon answering said to him, `Master, through the whole night, having laboured, we have taken nothing, but at thy saying I will let down the net.`

⁵Siimon vastas talle: 'Õpetaja, me oleme terve öö vaeva näinud ega ole midagi saanud! Aga sinu sõna peale lasen ma võrgud vette.'

⁶And having done this, they enclosed a great multitude of fishes, and their net was breaking,

⁶Ja kui nad olid seda teinud, püüdsid nad nii suure hulga kalu, et nende võrgud rebenesid.

⁷and they beckoned to the partners, who [are] in the other boat, having come, to help them; and they came, and filled both the boats, so that they were sinking.

⁷Ja nad viipasid oma kaaslastele teises paadis, et need tuleksid neile appi. Ja need tulid, ja nad täitsid mõlemad paadid, nii et need olid vajumas.

⁸And Simon Peter having seen, fell down at the knees of Jesus, saying, `Depart from me, because I am a sinful man, O lord;`

⁸Aga kui Siimon Peetrus seda nägi, langes ta maha Jeesuse põlvede ette ja ütles: 'Mine minu juurest ära, Issand, sest ma olen patune mees!'

⁹for astonishment seized him, and all those with him, at the draught of the fishes that they took,

⁹Sest hirm oli haaranud teda ja kõiki, kes olid temaga, kalasaagi pärast, mille nad olid püüdnud.

¹⁰and in like manner also James and John, sons of Zebedee, who were partners with Simon; and Jesus said unto Simon, `Fear not, henceforth thou shalt be catching men;`

¹⁰Nõndasamuti oli ka Sebedeuse poegade Jaakobuse ja Johannesega, kes olid Siimona kaaslased. Ja Jeesus ütles Siimonale: 'Ära karda! Nüüdsest peale pead sa püüdma inimesi!'

¹¹and they, having brought the boats upon the land, having left all, did follow him.

¹¹Ja kui nad olid paadid kaldale vedanud, jätsid nad kõik maha ja järgnesid talle.

¹²And it came to pass, in his being in one of the cities, that lo, a man full of leprosy, and having seen Jesus, having fallen on [his] face, he besought him, saying, `Sir, if thou mayest will, thou art able to cleanse me;`

¹²Ja see sündis, kui Jeesus ühes linnas viibis, vaata, seal oli mees üleni täis pidalitõbe. Ja kui ta nägi Jeesust, langes ta silmili maha ja anus teda: 'Issand, kui sa tahad, siis sa võid mu puhtaks teha!'

¹³and having stretched forth [his] hand, he touched him, having said, `I will; be thou cleansed;` and immediately the leprosy went away from him.

¹³Ja Jeesus sirutas käe välja, puudutas teda ja ütles: 'Ma tahan, saa puhtaks!' Ja kohe lahkus pidalitõbi temast.

¹⁴And he charged him to tell no one, `But, having gone away, shew thyself to the priest, and bring near for thy cleansing according as Moses directed, for a testimony to them;`

¹⁴Jeesus keelas teda juhtunust kellelegi rääkimast ja käskis: 'Mine näita ennast preestrile ja ohverda oma puhtakssaamise eest, nii nagu Mooses on käskinud, neile tunnistuseks!'

¹⁵but the more was the report going abroad concerning him, and great multitudes were coming together to hear, and to be healed by him of their infirmities,

¹⁵Aga sõnum Jeesusest levis seda enam, nii et suur rahvahulk tuli kokku teda kuulama ja saama temalt tervenemist oma haigustest.

¹⁶and he was withdrawing himself in the desert places and was praying.

¹⁶Temal oli aga viisiks minna tühja paika ja seal palvetada.

¹⁷And it came to pass, on one of the days, that he was teaching, and there were sitting by Pharisees and teachers of the Law, who were come out of every village of Galilee, and Judea, and Jerusalem, and the power of the Lord was — to heal them.

¹⁷Ja ühel päeval, kui Jeesus oli õpetamas, istus seal ka varisere ja seadusetundjaid, kes olid tulnud kõigist Galilea ja Juudamaa küladest ja Jeruusalemmast. Ja Issanda vägi oli Jeesuse peal haigete tervendamiseks.

¹⁸And lo, men bearing upon a couch a man, who hath been struck with palsy, and they were seeking to bring him in, and to place before him,

¹⁸Ja ennäe, mehed kandsid kanderaamiga inimest, kes oli halvatud, ja püüdsid teda sisse tuua ning asetada Jeesuse ette.

¹⁹and not having found by what way they may bring him in because of the multitude, having gone up on the house-top, through the tiles they let him down, with the little couch, into the midst before Jesus,

¹⁹Ja kuna nad rahvahulga tõttu ei leidnud teed, kuidas teda sisse tuua, läksid nad üles katusele ja lasksid ta koos kanderaamiga tellislaest läbi, keset tuba otse Jeesuse ette.

²⁰and he having seen their faith, said to him, `Man, thy sins have been forgiven thee.`

²⁰Ja nende usku nähes ütles Jeesus: 'Inimene, sinu patud on sulle andeks antud!'

²¹And the scribes and the Pharisees began to reason, saying, `Who is this that doth speak evil words? who is able to forgive sins, except God only?`

²¹Ja kirjatundjad ja variserid hakkasid arutama: 'Kes see õige on, kes räägib Jumalat teotades? Kes muu saab patte andeks anda kui ainult Jumal üksi?'

²²And Jesus having known their reasonings, answering, said unto them, `What reason ye in your hearts?

²²Aga Jeesus vastas neile nende mõtteid ära tundes: 'Mis te arutate oma südames?

²³which is easier — to say, Thy sins have been forgiven thee? or to say, Arise, and walk?

²³Kumb on kergem, kas öelda: 'Sinu patud on sulle andeks antud!' või öelda: 'Tõuse püsti ja kõnni!'?

²⁴`And that ye may know that the Son of Man hath authority upon the earth to forgive sins — (he said to the one struck with palsy) — I say to thee, Arise, and having taken up thy little couch, be going on to thy house.`

²⁴Aga et te teaksite, et Inimese Pojal on meelevald patte andeks anda maa peal,' - ta ütles halvatule - 'ma ütlen sulle: Tõuse püsti, võta oma kanderaam ja mine koju!'

²⁵And presently having risen before them, having taken up [that] on which he was lying, he went away to his house, glorifying God,

²⁵Ja otsekohe tõusis too üles nende silma all, võttis selle, millel ta oli lamanud, ja läks koju Jumalat ülistades.

²⁶and astonishment took all, and they were glorifying God, and were filled with fear, saying — `We saw strange things to-day.`

²⁶Ja kõiki valdas hämmastus ja nad ülistasid Jumalat ja said täis kartust, öeldes: 'Me oleme täna kummalisi asju näinud!'

²⁷And after these things he went forth, and beheld a tax-gatherer, by name Levi, sitting at the tax-office, and said to him, `Be following me;`

²⁷Pärast seda läks Jeesus välja ja nägi tölnerit, nimega Leevi, tollihoone juures istuvat, ja ütles talle: 'Järgne mulle!'

²⁸and he, having left all, having arisen, did follow him.

²⁸Ja Leevi tõusis, jättis kõik maha ja järgnes Jeesusele.

²⁹And Levi made a great entertainment to him in his house, and there was a great multitude of tax-gatherers and others who were with them reclining (at meat),

²⁹Ja Leevi tegi Jeesusele oma kodus suure pidusöögi ja suur hulk tölnereid ja muid istus nendega koos lauda.

³⁰and the scribes and the Pharisees among them were murmuring at his disciples, saying, `Wherefore with tax-gatherers and sinners do ye eat and drink?`

³⁰Ent variserid ja nende kirjatundjad nurisesid tema jüngrite vastu: 'Miks te sööte ja joote koos tölnerite ja patustega?'

³¹And Jesus answering said unto them, `They who are well have no need of a physician, but they that are ill:

³¹Ja Jeesus vastas neile: 'Ei vaja arsti terved, vaid haiged.

³²I came not to call righteous men, but sinners, to reformation.`

³²Ma ei ole tulnud kutsuma õigeid, vaid patuseid meeleparandusele.'

³³And they said unto him, `Wherefore do the disciples of John fast often, and make supplications — in like manner also those of the Pharisees — but thine do eat and drink?`

³³Nemad aga ütlesid talle: 'Johannese jüngrid paastuvad sageli ja peavad palveaegu, nõndasamuti ka variseride jüngrid, sinu omad aga söövad ja joovad.'

³⁴And he said unto them, `Are ye able to make the sons of the bride-chamber — in the bridegroom being with them — to fast?

³⁴Jeesus ütles neile: 'Kas te võite peiupoisse panna paastuma sel ajal, kui peigmees on nende juures?

³⁵but days will come, and, when the bridegroom may be taken away from them, then they shall fast in those days.`

³⁵Ent päevad tulevad, mil peigmees võetakse neilt ära, küll nad siis paastuvad neil päevil.'

³⁶And he spake also a simile unto them — `No one a patch of new clothing doth put on old clothing, and if otherwise, the new also doth make a rent, and with the old the patch doth not agree, that [is] from the new.

³⁶Aga ta ütles neile ka tähendamissõna: 'Keegi ei rebi paika uue kuue küljest, et parandada vana kuube, muidu ta ju rebib uue katki ning paik uue küljest ei sobi vana peale.

³⁷`And no one doth put new wine into old skins, and if otherwise, the new wine will burst the skins, and itself will be poured out, and the skins will be destroyed;

³⁷Ja keegi ei vala värsket veini vanadesse nahklähkritesse, muidu värske vein rebestab lähkrid ja voolab maha ning lähkrid muutuvad kõlbmatuks,

³⁸but new wine into new skins is to be put, and both are preserved together;

³⁸vaid värske vein tuleb valada uutesse lähkritesse.

³⁹and no one having drunk old [wine], doth immediately wish new, for he saith, The old is better.`

³⁹Ja keegi, kes on joonud vana, ei taha uut, vaid ütleb: Vana on maitsvam!'
