Jesus Heals a Paralyzed Man
(Matthew 9.1-8Luke 5.17-26)1 A few days later Jesus went back to Capernaum, and the news spread that he was at home. 2 So many people came together that there was no room left, not even out in front of the door. Jesus was preaching the message to them 3 when four men arrived, carrying a paralyzed man to Jesus. 4 Because of the crowd, however, they could not get the man to him. So they made a hole in the roof right above the place where Jesus was. When they had made an opening, they let the man down, lying on his mat. 5 Seeing how much faith they had, Jesus said to the paralyzed man, “My son, your sins are forgiven.”
6 Some teachers of the Law who were sitting there thought to themselves, 7 “How does he dare talk like this? This is blasphemy! God is the only one who can forgive sins!”
8 At once Jesus knew what they were thinking, so he said to them, “Why do you think such things? 9 Is it easier to say to this paralyzed man, ‘Your sins are forgiven,’ or to say, ‘Get up, pick up your mat, and walk’? 10 I will prove to you, then, that the Son of Man has authority on earth to forgive sins.” So he said to the paralyzed man, 11 “I tell you, get up, pick up your mat, and go home!”
12 While they all watched, the man got up, picked up his mat, and hurried away. They were all completely amazed and praised God, saying, “We have never seen anything like this!”
Jesus Calls Levi
(Matthew 9.9-13Luke 5.27-32)13 Jesus went back again to the shore of Lake Galilee. A crowd came to him, and he started teaching them. 14 As he walked along, he saw a tax collector, Levi son of Alphaeus, sitting in his office. Jesus said to him, “Follow me.” Levi got up and followed him.
15 Later on Jesus was having a meal in Levi's house. A large number of tax collectors and other outcasts was following Jesus, and many of them joined him and his disciples at the table. 16 Some teachers of the Law, who were Pharisees, saw that Jesus was eating with these outcasts and tax collectors, so they asked his disciples, “Why does he eat with such people?”
17 Jesus heard them and answered, “People who are well do not need a doctor, but only those who are sick. I have not come to call respectable people, but outcasts.”
The Question about Fasting
(Matthew 9.14-17Luke 5.33-39)18 On one occasion the followers of John the Baptist and the Pharisees were fasting. Some people came to Jesus and asked him, “Why is it that the disciples of John the Baptist and the disciples of the Pharisees fast, but yours do not?”
19 Jesus answered, “Do you expect the guests at a wedding party to go without food? Of course not! As long as the bridegroom is with them, they will not do that. 20 But the day will come when the bridegroom will be taken away from them, and then they will fast.
21 “No one uses a piece of new cloth to patch up an old coat, because the new patch will shrink and tear off some of the old cloth, making an even bigger hole. 22 Nor does anyone pour new wine into used wineskins, because the wine will burst the skins, and both the wine and the skins will be ruined. Instead, new wine must be poured into fresh wineskins.”
The Question about the Sabbath
(Matthew 12.1-8Luke 6.1-5)23 Jesus was walking through some wheat fields on a Sabbath. As his disciples walked along with him, they began to pick the heads of wheat. 24 So the Pharisees said to Jesus, “Look, it is against our Law for your disciples to do that on the Sabbath!”
25 Jesus answered, “Have you never read what David did that time when he needed something to eat? He and his men were hungry, 26 so he went into the house of God and ate the bread offered to God. This happened when Abiathar was the High Priest. According to our Law only the priests may eat this bread—but David ate it and even gave it to his men.”
27 And Jesus concluded, “The Sabbath was made for the good of human beings; they were not made for the Sabbath. 28 So the Son of Man is Lord even of the Sabbath.”
Jesus ta velula oshingudu
(Mat. 9:1-8Luk. 5:17-26)1 Ndele eshi pa pita omafiku amwe, okwa ya vali kuKapernaum. Ndele eshi a udika nokutya, Ye oku li meumbo, 2 ovanhu vahapu ova ongalela ko diva, noposhivelo kapa li vali onhele. Oye okwe va udifila ondjovo. 3 Ndelenee ope uya ovanhu va eta kuye omunhu oshingudu a humbatwa kovalumenhu vane. 4 Ndele vo eshi va nyengwa kouhapu wovanhu oku mu eta kuye, ova ulula onduda omo a li, ndele ova kulukifa poshi olutala oko kwa nangala omunhu oshingudu.Ova ulula onduda omo a li, ndele va kulukifa poshi olutala. 5 Jesus eshi a mona eitavelo lavo, okwa tya koshingudu: “Omumwange, omatimba oye otaa dimwa po.” 6 Omwa li mu novanongo vomishangwa vamwe va kala omutumba, ndele ova diladila momitima davo: 7 “Ota popi ngahelipi ngaho? Ota sheke Kalunga. Olyelye ta dulu okudima po omatimba, ke fi umwe aeke, Kalunga?” 8 Jesus okwe shi koneka diva momhepo yaye kutya, vo ove lidiladilila ngaha, ndele okwa tya kuvo: “Oshike tamu diladilile eshi momitima deni? 9 Eshi shipu shi dule shikwao oshilipipo, okulombwela oshingudu: ‘Omatimba oye a dimwa po’, ile oku mu lombwela: ‘Fikama, kufa po olutala loye u ende?’ 10 Ndele opo mu kale mu shi shii, Omona wOmunhu oku na epangelo okudima po omatimba kombada yedu,” okwa tya koshingudu: 11 “Ohandi ku lombwele: Fikama, kufa po olutala loye ove u ye keumbo leni.”
12 Ye okwa fikama, a kufa po diva olutala laye, ndele okwa ya pondje moipafi yaaveshe, aveshe ova kumwa, va hambelela Kalunga ndele tava ti: “Oinima i fike apa inatu i mona nale.”
Mateus ta ifanwa
(Mat. 9:9-13Luk. 5:27-32)13 Ndele okwa shuna kefuta nongudu aishe yovanhu ye uya kuye, ndele te va longo. 14 Ndele mokukoyelela po Ye okwa mona po Levi yaAlfeus, e li omutumba pongulu yomafutilo opeengaba, ndele okwa tya kuye: “Shikule nge.” Ye okwa fikama ndele te mu shikula.
15 Ndele opa ningwa, eshi a li omutumba poshililo meumbo laye, ovafutifi novalunde vahapu ova lya yo pamwe naJesus novalongwa vaye, osheshi ovo ve mu shikula, ova li po vahapu. 16 Ndele ovanongo vomishangwa vomOvafarisai eshi ve mu mona ta li pamwe novafendelifi novalunde, ova tya kovalongwa vaye: “Oha li pamwe novafendelifi novalunde?” 17 Jesus eshi e di uda, okwa tya kuvo: “Ava ve li nawa, itava pumbwa omuveluli, ovanaudu ovo tuu aveke. Ame inandi uya okwiifana ovayuki, ndelenee ovalunde.”
Elidiliko loikulya
(Mat. 9:14-17Luk. 5:33-38)18 Ovalongwa vaJohannes novOvafarisai ova li po have lidilike oikulya. Vo ove uya ndele ova tya kuye: “Ovalongwa vaJohannes novOvafarisai ohave lidilike oikulya, oshike ovalongwa voye ihave lidilike?” 19 Jesus okwe va lombwela: “Ookaume komuhomboli ihava dulu ndishi okulidilika oikulya fimbo omuhomboli e li puvo. Fimbo ve na omuhomboli mokati kavo, itava shiiva okulidilika oikulya. 20 Ndele omafiku tae uya nomuhomboli te va kufwa, heeno, efiku olo otave ke lidilika oikulya.
21 “Kape na ou ta vandeke oshikutu shikulu noshivando shipe. Ngeenge te shi ningi, oshivando shipe otashi pombaula po oshikutu, ndele ombululu tai ningi inene i dule yonale. 22 Ndele kaku na ou ta dili omaviinyu mape momakutu makulu, ndelenee ngeenge, ongaha omaviinyu otaa pombaula omakutu, nomaviinyu otaa hepa ashike. Ndelenee omaviinyu mape naa ye momakutu mape.”
