5

1 Benn bés Yeesu taxaw ca tefesu dexu Senesaret. Mbooloo ma wër ko, di buuxante ngir déglu kàddug Yàlla.
1Now it happened, while the multitude pressed on him and heard the word of God, that he was standing by the lake of Gennesaret.
2 Noonu mu gis ñaari gaal yu teer ca tefes ga, nappkat ya ca wàcce, di raxas seeni mbaal.
2He saw two boats standing by the lake, but the fishermen had gone out of them, and were washing their nets.
3 Mu dugg ci genn gaal, fekk muy gu Simoŋ, mu ne ko, mu joow ba sore tuuti. Noonu Yeesu toog ca gaal ga, di jàngal mbooloo ma.
3He 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 Bi mu jàngalee ba noppi, mu ne Simoŋ: «Joowal gaal gi, ba fa ndox ma gën a xóote, ngeen sànni fa seeni mbaal ngir napp.»
4When he had finished speaking, he said to Simon, “Put out into the deep, and let down your nets for a catch.”
5 Simoŋ tontu ko ne: «Kilifa gi, coono lanu fanaane biig te jàppunu dara. Waaye nag dinaa ko sànni ci sa ndigal.»
5Simon answered him, “Master, we worked all night, and took nothing; but at your word I will let down the net.”
6 Naka lañu sànni mbaal yi, jàpp jën yu bare, ba mbaal yay tàmbalee xëtt.
6When they had done this, they caught a great multitude of fish, and their net was breaking.
7 Noonu ñu daldi liyaar seen àndandoo, yi nekk ca geneen gaal ga, ngir ñu ñëw dimbali leen. Ñooñu agsi, ñu feesal ñaari gaal yi, ba ñuy bëgg a suux.
7They 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 Naka la Simoŋ Piyeer gis loolu, daldi sukk ci kanamu Yeesu ne ko: «Sore ma Boroom bi, ndaxte nitu bàkkaar laa!»
8But Simon Peter, when he saw it, fell down at Jesus’ knees, saying, “Depart from me, for I am a sinful man, Lord.”
9 Wax na loolu nag, ndax jën yu bare ya ñu mbaaloon daf koo jaaxal, moom ak ña mu àndaloon
9For he was amazed, and all who were with him, at the catch of fish which they had caught;
10 ak ña mu bokkaloon liggéey ba, maanaam ñaari doomi Sebede yi di Saag ak Yowaana. Yeesu ne Simoŋ: «Bul ragal dara; gannaawsi tey, ay nit ngay mbaal jëme ci man.»
10and 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 Noonu ñu teer ca tefes ga, bàyyi lépp, di topp ci moom.
11When they had brought their boats to land, they left everything, and followed him.
12 Ni Yeesu nekke woon ci ab dëkk, am fa ku gaana ba daj. Bi mu gisee Yeesu, mu daldi dëpp jëwam ci suuf, ñaan ko: «Sang bi, soo ko bëggee, man nga maa wéral.»
12It happened, 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 Yeesu tàllal loxoom, laal ko naan: «Bëgg naa ko, wéral.» Ca saa sa ngaanaam daldi deñ.
13He stretched out his hand, and touched him, saying, “I want to. Be made clean.” Immediately the leprosy left him.
14 Yeesu sant ko ne: «Bu ko wax kenn, waaye demal won sa bopp saraxalekat bi, te nga jébbal Yàlla sarax si yoonu Musaa santaane, ngir ñu xam ne wér nga, te mu nekk seede ci ñoom.»
14He 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 Noonu turu Yeesu di gën a siiw. Mbooloo mu bare di ñëw ci moom, ngir déglu ko te mu faj seeni jàngoro.
15But the report concerning him spread much more, and great multitudes came together to hear, and to be healed by him of their infirmities.
16 Waaye Yeesu moom di beddeeku ci bérab yu wéet ya, di ñaan.
16But he withdrew himself into the desert, and prayed.
17 Am na bés Yeesu doon jàngale. Amoon na ca mbooloo, ma teewoon, ñu bokkoon ca Farisen ya ak ay xutbakat yu jóge ca dëkk yépp, ya ca Galile ak ya ca Yude ak Yerusalem. Yeesu àndoon na ak dooley Boroom bi, ba muy faj ay jarag.
17It happened on one of those days, that 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 Noonu ay nit ñëw, jàppoo basaŋ, ga ñu tëral nit ku yaram wépp làggi. Ñu di ko wut a dugal ca kër ga, ngir indi ko ca Yeesu.
18Behold, men brought a paralyzed man on a cot, and they sought to bring him in to lay before Jesus.
19 Waaye gisuñu fu ñu koy awale ndax mbooloo ma. Ñu daldi yéeg ca kaw kër ga nag, xeddi tiwiil ya, yoor waa ja ak basaŋ ga, wàcce ko ca kanamu Yeesu ca biir mbooloo ma.
19Not 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 midst before Jesus.
20 Bi Yeesu gisee seen ngëm, mu ne làggi ba: «Sama waay, baal nañu la say bàkkaar.»
20Seeing their faith, he said to him, “Man, your sins are forgiven you.”
21 Xutbakat yi ak Farisen yi di werante ci seen xel naan: «Kii mooy kan bay sosal Yàlla? Ana ku man a baale bàkkaar yi, ku dul Yàlla doŋŋ?»
21The scribes and the Pharisees began to reason, saying, “Who is this that speaks blasphemies? Who can forgive sins, but God alone?”
22 Waaye Yeesu xam seen xalaat, tontu leen ne: «Lu tax ngeen di werante ci seen xel?
22But Jesus, perceiving their thoughts, answered them, “Why are you reasoning so in your hearts?
23 Ma wax ne: “Baal nañu la say bàkkaar,” walla ma ne: “Jógal te dox,” lan moo ci gën a yomb?
23 Which is easier to say, ‘Your sins are forgiven you;’ or to say, ‘Arise and walk?’
24 Waaye xamleen ne, Doomu nit ki am na ci àddina sañ-sañu baale bàkkaar yi.» Ci kaw loolu Yeesu ne ku làggi ba: «Maa ngi la koy sant, jógal, jël sa basaŋ te nga ñibbi.»
24 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, and take up your cot, and go to your house.”
25 Nit ka jóg ca saa sa ci kanamu ñépp, jël basaŋ, ga ñu ko tëraloon, ñibbi tey màggal Yàlla.
25Immediately he rose up before them, and took up that which he was laying on, and departed to his house, glorifying God.
26 Mbooloo mépp waaru, di màggal Yàlla. Ñu ragal tey wax naan: «Gis nanu tey ay mbir yu ëpp xel.»
26Amazement took hold on all, and they glorified God. They were filled with fear, saying, “We have seen strange things today.”
27 Gannaaw loolu Yeesu génn, gis ab juutikat bu tudd Lewi, mu toog ca juuti ba. Mu ne ko: «Kaay topp ci man.»
27After these things he went out, and saw a tax collector named Levi sitting at the tax office, and said to him, “Follow me!”
28 Lewi jóg, bàyyi lépp, daldi ko topp.
28He left everything, and rose up and followed him.
29 Noonu Lewi togglu ay ñam yu bare ci këram, ngir teral Yeesu. Juutikat yu bare ak yeneen gan ñu nga fa woon, di lekkandoo ak ñoom.
29Levi 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 Farisen yi ak seeni xutbakat di xultu taalibey Yeesu yi ne leen: «Lu tax ngeen di lekkandoo ak di naanandoo ak ay juutikat ak ay boroom bàkkaar?»
30Their scribes and the Pharisees murmured against his disciples, saying, “Why do you eat and drink with the tax collectors and sinners?”
31 Yeesu tontu leen ne: «Ñi wér soxlawuñu fajkat, ñi wéradi ñoo ko soxla.
31Jesus answered them, “Those who are healthy have no need for a physician, but those who are sick do.
32 Ñëwuma ngir woo ñi jub, waaye ngir woo bàkkaarkat yi, ñu tuub seeni bàkkaar.»
32 I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.”
33 Noonu ñu ne Yeesu: «Taalibey Yaxya yi ak yu Farisen yi dinañu faral di woor ak di ñaan ci Yàlla, waaye say taalibe ñu ngiy lekk ak di naan.»
33They 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 Yeesu ne leen: «Ndax man ngeen a woorloo gan, yi ñëw cig céet, li feek boroom céet gaa ngi ànd ak ñoom?
34He said to them, “Can you make the friends of the bridegroom fast, while the bridegroom is with them?
35 Waaye bés yaa ngi ñëw, yu ñuy jële boroom céet gi ci seen biir. Bés yooyu nag, dinañu woor.»
35 But the days will come when the bridegroom will be taken away from them. Then they will fast in those days.”
36 Te it Yeesu wax leen léeb wii: «Kenn du jël mbubb mu bees, xotti ci sekkit, daaxe ko mbubb mu màggat. Lu ko moy, dina xotti mbubb mu bees mi, te sekkit, wi mu ci jële, du ànd ak mbubb mu màggat mi.
36He 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 Te kenn du def biiñ bu bees ci mbuusi der yu màggat. Lu ko moy, biiñ bu bees bi day toj mbuus yi, biiñ bi tuuru, mbuus yi yàqu.
37 No one puts new wine into old wineskins, or else the new wine will burst the skins, and it will be spilled, and the skins will be destroyed.
38 Waaye dañoo war a def biiñ bu bees ci mbuus yu bees.
38 But new wine must be put into fresh wineskins, and both are preserved.
39 Ku naan biiñ bu màggat du bëgg bu bees bi, ndax day wax ne: “Bu màggat bi baax na.”»  
39 No man having drunk old wine immediately desires new, for he says, ‘The old is better.’”
