Lucas 5

1 Now while the multitude pressed on him and heard the word of God, he was standing by the lake of Gennesaret. 2 He saw two boats standing by the lake, but the fishermen had gone out of them and were washing their nets. 3 He 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 When he had finished speaking, he said to Simon, "Put out into the deep and let down your nets for a catch."

5 Simon answered him, "Master, we worked all night and caught nothing; but at your word I will let down the net." 6 When they had done this, they caught a great multitude of fish, and their net was breaking. 7 They 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 But Simon Peter, when he saw it, fell down at Jesus’ knees, saying, "Depart from me, for I am a sinful man, Lord." 9 For he was amazed, and all who were with him, at the catch of fish which they had caught; 10 and 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 When they had brought their boats to land, they left everything, and followed him.

12 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 He stretched out his hand and touched him, saying, "I want to. Be made clean."

Immediately the leprosy left him. 14 He 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 But the report concerning him spread much more, and great multitudes came together to hear and to be healed by him of their infirmities. 16 But he withdrew himself into the desert and prayed.

17 On one of those days, 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 Behold, men brought a paralyzed man on a cot, and they sought to bring him in to lay before Jesus. 19 Not 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 middle before Jesus. 20 Seeing their faith, he said to him, "Man, your sins are forgiven you."

21 The scribes and the Pharisees began to reason, saying, "Who is this who speaks blasphemies? Who can forgive sins, but God alone?"

22 But Jesus, perceiving their thoughts, answered them, "Why are you reasoning so in your hearts? 23 Which is easier to say, ‘Your sins are forgiven you,’ or to say, ‘Arise and walk’? 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, take up your cot, and go to your house."

25 Immediately he rose up before them, and took up that which he was laying on, and departed to his house, glorifying God. 26 Amazement took hold on all, and they glorified God. They were filled with fear, saying, "We have seen strange things today."

27 After these things he went out and saw a tax collector named Levi sitting at the tax office, and said to him, "Follow me!"

28 He left everything, and rose up and followed him. 29 Levi 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 Their scribes and the Pharisees murmured against his disciples, saying, "Why do you eat and drink with the tax collectors and sinners?"

31 Jesus answered them, "Those who are healthy have no need for a physician, but those who are sick do. 32 I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners, to repentance."

33 They 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 He said to them, "Can you make the friends of the bridegroom fast while the bridegroom is with them? 35 But the days will come when the bridegroom will be taken away from them. Then they will fast in those days."

36 He 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 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 But new wine must be put into fresh wineskins, and both are preserved. 39 No man having drunk old wine immediately desires new, for he says, ‘The old is better.’"

Ka Karanga a Īhu i ngā Ākonga Tuatahi

1 Ā, i te mano e āki ana ki a ia ki te whakarongo ki te kupu a te Atua, nā, e tū ana ia i te taha o te roto o Kenehareta, 2 nā, ka kite ia i ētahi kaipuke e rua e tū ana i te taha o te roto; ko ngā kaihao ia kua riro i runga, e horoi ana i ā rātou kupenga. 3 Nā, ka eke ia ki tētahi o ngā kaipuke, ki tō Haimona, ka mea ki a ia kia neke atu ki waho tata. Nā, noho ana ia, whakaakona ana e ia te mano i runga i te kaipuke.

4 Ā, ka mutu tāna kōrero, ka mea ia ki a Haimona, "Neke atu ki te wāhi hōhonu, ka tuku ai i ā koutou kupenga ki te hao."

5 Nā, ka whakahoki a Haimona, ka mea ki a ia, "E kara, mahi noa mātou i te pō roa nei, tē mau tētahi; heoi, nāu nā te kupu me tuku e ahau te kupenga."

6 Ā, nō tā rātou meatanga i tēnei, he mano tini ngā ika i mau i a rātou; ka whakapakaru tā rātou kupenga. 7 Nā, ka tāwhiri rātou ki ō rātou hoa i tērā o ngā kaipuke kia hoe mai hei hoa mō rātou. Ā, i tō rātou taenga mai, whakakīia ana ngā kaipuke e rua, nō ka whakatotohu.

8 Otiia, nō te kitenga o Haimona Pita, ka hinga iho ki ngā turi o Īhu, ka mea, "Mawehe atu i ahau, e te Ariki, he tangata hara hoki ahau." 9 Mau tonu hoki tōna mīharo me tō ōna hoa katoa, ki te haonga o ngā ika i haoa nei e rātou; 10 i pērā anō hoki a Hēmi rāua ko Hoani, he tama rāua nā Heperi, he hoa hoki nō Haimona.

Nā, ka mea a Īhu ki a Haimona, "Kaua e mataku; i ēnei wā e takoto ake nei ka hao tāngata koe." 11 Ā, ka whakaūria ngā kaipuke ki uta, mahue ake ngā mea katoa i a rātou, ā, aru ana i a ia.

Ka Whakaoratia e Īhu te Tāne

12 Nā, i a ia i tētahi o ngā pā, nā, ko tētahi tangata kapi tonu i te repera; ā, i tōna kitenga i a Īhu, ka takoto tāpapa, ka īnoi ki a ia, ka mea, "E te Ariki, ki te pai koe, e taea ahau e koe te mea kia mā."

13 Nā, ka totoro tōna ringa, ka pā ki a ia, ka mea, "E pai ana ahau. Kia mā koe." Ā, mutu tonu ake tōna repera.

14 Ā, ka whakatūpato ia i a ia kia kaua e kōrerotia ki te tangata, engari "Haere, kia kite te tohunga i a koe, kawea atu hoki mō tōu whakamākanga ngā mea i whakaritea e Mohi, hei mea whakaatu ki a rātou."

15 Heoi, tino pakū atu ana tōna rongo; he tokomaha noa atu hoki i huihui ki te whakarongo, kia whakaorangia ai e ia ō rātou ngoikoretanga. 16 Otirā, haere ana ia, ko ia anake ki te koraha ki te īnoi.

Ka Whakaora a Īhu i te Tangata Pararūtiki

17 Ā, i tētahi o aua rā, e whakaako ana ia, me te noho anō ngā Parihi me ngā kaiwhakaako o te ture, i haere mai nei i ngā kāinga katoa o Karirī, o Hūria, o Hiruhārama; i reira anō te kaha o te Ariki hei whakaora i a rātou. 18 Nā, ka kawea mai e ētahi tāngata i runga i te moenga tētahi tangata, he pararūtiki; mea noa rātou kia kawea ia ki roto, kia whakatakotoria ki tōna aroaro. 19 Ā, i te korenga e kitea e rātou he huarahi hei kawenga mai i a ia ki roto, i te mano o te tangata, ka kakea te whare, ā, tukua iho ana ia rā ngā taera, me te moenga anō, ki waenganui, ki te aroaro o Īhu.

20 Ā, i tōna kitenga i tō rātou whakapono, ka mea ia ki a ia, "E hoa, ka oti ōu hara te muru."

21 Nā, ka anga, ka whakaaroaro ngā karaipi me ngā Parihi, ka mea, "Ko wai tēnei nāna ngā kupu kohukohu? Ko wai hei muru hara? Ko te Atua anake."

22 Otirā, i mōhio a Īhu ki ā rātou whakaaroaronga, ka oho, ka mea ki a rātou, "He aha tā koutou e whakaaroaro nā i roto i ō koutou ngākau? 23 Ko tēhea te mea takoto noa, ko te mea, ‘Ka oti ōu hara te muru,’ ko te mea rānei, ‘Whakatika, haere’? 24 Otiia, kia mātau ai koutou he mana muru hara tō te Tama a te tangata i runga i te whenua." Ka mea ia ki te pararūtiki, "Ko tāku kupu tēnei ki a koe, whakatika, tangohia ake tōu moenga, haere ki tōu whare."

25 Nā, whakatika tonu ake ia i tō rātou aroaro, tangohia ake ana te mea i takoto ai ia, haere ana ki tōna whare, me te whakakorōria i te Atua. 26 Nā, mīharo ana rātou katoa, ka whakakorōria i te Atua, kī tonu hoki rātou i te mataku, ka mea, "Puta kē ngā mea i kite nei tātou ināianei!"

Ka Karanga a Īhu i a Rīwai

27 Ā, i muri i ēnei mea, ka haere ia, ka kite i tētahi pupirikana, ko Rīwai te ingoa, e noho ana i te wāhi tango takoha, ka mea ki a ia, "Arumia mai ahau." 28 Nā, whakarērea ake e ia ngā mea katoa, whakatika ana, aru ana i a ia.

29 Nā, ka takā e Rīwai he hākari nui māna i tōna whare; he tokomaha hoki ngā pupirikana me ngā tāngata kē i noho tahi rātou. 30 Nā, ka amuamu ngā Parihi me ō rātou karaipi ki āna ākonga, ka mea, "He aha koutou ka kai tahi ai, ka inu tahi ai me ngā pupirikana, me ngā tāngata hara?"

31 Nā, ka whakahoki a Īhu, ka mea ki a rātou, "Kāhore he aha o ngā tāngata ora e meatia ai e te rata, engari o te hunga e mate ana. 32 Kīhai ahau i haere mai ki te karanga i te hunga tika, engari i te hunga hara, kia rīpenetā."

Te Take e Pā ana ki te Nohopuku

33 Nā, ka mea rātou ki a ia, "Ko ngā ākonga a Hoani hono tonu te nohopuku, te īnoi, me ngā ākonga anō a ngā Parihi; ko āu ia e kai ana, e inu ana."

34 Nā, ko te meatanga a Īhu ki a rātou, "E taea rānei e koutou te mea kia nohopuku ngā tama o te whare mārena, i te mea kei a rātou te tāne mārena hou? 35 Nā, tērā e tae mai ngā rā; ā, ina tangohia te tāne mārena hou i a rātou, kātahi rātou ka nohopuku i aua rā."

36 I kōrerotia anō e ia tētahi kupu whakarite ki a rātou: "E kore e haea e te tangata tētahi wāhi o te kahu hou hei pāpaki mō te kahu tawhito; kei pakaru te mea hou, ā, e kore te pāpaki i tangohia i te mea hou e hāngai ki te mea tawhito. 37 E kore hoki te tangata e riringi i te wāina hou ki ngā ipu tawhito; kei pakaru ngā ipu i te wāina hou, nā, ka maringi, ā, kore ake ngā ipu. 38 Engari me riringi te wāina hou ki ngā ipu hou. 39 Ka inu hoki te tangata i te wāina tawhito, e kore ia e hiahia ki te mea hou, e mea hoki ia, ‘Erangi te mea tawhito.’ "
