< Luka 8 >

1 Pagamasile gelego, Che Yesu ŵapite mu misi ni misinda achilalichilaga Ngani Jambone ja Umwenye wa Akunnungu. Ni ŵakulijiganya kumi na mbili ŵala ŵalongene nawo.
Soon afterward, Jesus traveled from one town and village to another, preaching and proclaiming the good news of the kingdom of God. The Twelve were with Him,
2 Nipele achakongwe ŵane ŵaŵaakopwesye masoka ni kwalamya ilwele ŵalongene nawo. Ŵelewo ni ŵanya che Maliamu jwa musi wa ku Magidala jwati Che Yesu ŵankopwesye masoka saba,
as well as some women who had been healed of evil spirits and infirmities: Mary called Magdalene, from whom seven demons had gone out,
3 ni che Joana ŵankwawo che Kusa, che Kusa ŵaliji jwakulindilila nyuumba ji che Helode ni che Susana ni ŵane ŵajinji. Ŵele achakongwe wo ŵaliji nkwakamusya Che Yesu ni ŵakulijiganya ŵao kwa ipanje yao achinsyene.
Joanna the wife of Herod’s household manager Chuza, Susanna, and many others. These women were ministering to them out of their own means.
4 Mpingo wa ŵandu ŵaliji uninkusongangana ni ŵandu kukopochela misi jina jose ŵaliji nkwaichilila Che Yesu. Nombewo ŵatanjile achi chitagu chi.
While a large crowd was gathering and people were coming to Jesus from town after town, He told them this parable:
5 “Mundu jwakulima ŵajawile kukumisa mbeju syakwe. Paŵamisaga sine syapatuchile mwitala ni uŵajesile mwitala mo ŵasiliŵete ni ijuni yalile.
“A farmer went out to sow his seed. And as he was sowing, some seed fell along the path, where it was trampled, and the birds of the air devoured it.
6 Mbeju sine syapatuchile palitaka lyalili ni maganga ni pasyamesile syanyasile ligongo litaka nganilikola meesi.
Some fell on rocky ground, and when it came up, the seedlings withered because they had no moisture.
7 Sine syapatuchile pasikati miiŵa. Jele miiŵa jo jamesile pamo nasyo ni kusiŵijikanya.
Other seed fell among thorns, which grew up with it and choked the seedlings.
8 Mbeju sine syapatuchile palitaka lyambone ni syamesile ni kusogola ni jili jose jasogwele pwela.” Che Yesu paŵamalisisye gelego, ŵanyanyisye, “Ŵaali ni mapikanilo, gakupilikana apilikane!”
Still other seed fell on good soil, where it sprang up and produced a crop—a hundredfold.” As Jesus said this, He called out, “He who has ears to hear, let him hear.”
9 Ŵakulijiganya ŵao ŵausisye Che Yesu malumbo ga chele chitagu cho.
Then His disciples asked Him what this parable meant.
10 Nombe ŵajanjile, “Ŵanyamwe mpegwile kumanyilila yantemela ya umwenye wa Akunnungu, nambo kwa ŵanewo ngwamba, ŵelewo akusalilwa kwa itagu kuti pakulola anakombole kulola ni pakupilikana anaimanyilile.
He replied, “The knowledge of the mysteries of the kingdom of God has been given to you, but to others I speak in parables, so that, ‘though seeing, they may not see; though hearing, they may not understand.’
11 “Nipele, malumbo ga chitagu chi ni aga, Mbeju lili liloŵe lya Akunnungu.
Now this is the meaning of the parable: The seed is the word of God.
12 Chachikukopochela kwa mbeju sisyapatuchile mwitala sila chikulandana ni chitagu cha ŵandu ŵakulipilikana liloŵe lya Akunnungu ni Shetani akwika ni kulityosya mu mitima jao kuti akakulupilila ni kukulupuswa.
The seeds along the path are those who hear, but the devil comes and takes away the word from their hearts, so that they may not believe and be saved.
13 Nombe chachikukopochela kwa mbeju sisyapatuchile palwala sila, chikulandana ni chitagu cha ŵandu ŵakupilikana liloŵe lya Akunnungu akulipochela kwa sangalala. Nambo mpela asila mbeju sila, ŵele ŵanduwo ngakukola michiga pakuŵa akukulupilila katema kanandi ni pakulinjikwa akulekanga kulupilila.
The seeds on rocky ground are those who hear the word and receive it with joy, but they have no root. They believe for a season, but in the time of testing, they fall away.
14 Sooni chachikukopochela kwa mbeju sisyapatuchile pa miiŵa sila chikulandana ni chitagu cha ŵandu ŵakupilikana liloŵe lya Akunnungu, nambo mbolembole akuŵijikanywa ni lipamba ni ipanje ni upoche wa pachilambo. Ŵele ŵandu wo isogosi yao ngaikukomala.
The seeds that fell among the thorns are those who hear, but as they go on their way, they are choked by the worries, riches, and pleasures of this life, and their fruit does not mature.
15 Ni chachikukopochela kwa mbeju sisyapatuchile pa chaajila sila chikulandana ni chitagu cha ŵandu ŵakupilikana liloŵe lya Akunnungu ni kulikamulisya kwa ntima wambone ni wakukunda. Ŵandu wo akupililila ni kumbesi kusogola isogosi yambone.
But the seeds on good soil are those with a noble and good heart, who hear the word, cling to it, and by persevering produce a crop.
16 “Ŵandu ngakupamba lumuli ni kuluunichila ni lulo pane kuluŵika kuusi chindanda. Nambo akuluŵika pachanya chindu chakuŵichila lumuli kuti ŵakwinjila mwelemo akombole kulola lulanga lwakwe.
No one lights a lamp and covers it with a jar or puts it under a bed. Instead, he sets it on a stand, so those who enter can see the light.
17 “Chachilichose chachisisikwe, chichiŵichikwe pakulanguka ni chachilichose cheunichile chichiŵe cheunukulikwe ni kuŵichikwa pakulanguka.
For there is nothing hidden that will not be disclosed, and nothing concealed that will not be made known and brought to light.
18 “Nipele nlilolechesye ni upilikane wenu, pakuŵa jwakwete chindu chajonjechekwe nambo jwanganakola chindu, chasumulwe atamuno kanandi chakuchiganisya kuti akwete.”
Pay attention, therefore, to how you listen. Whoever has will be given more, but whoever does not have, even what he thinks he has will be taken away from him.”
19 Pelepo achikulugwe ni achapwakwe Che Yesu ŵajawile kukwalola, nambo nganakombola kwaŵandichila ligongo lya winji wa ŵandu.
Then Jesus’ mother and brothers came to see Him, but they were unable to reach Him because of the crowd.
20 Mundu jumo ŵansalile Che Yesu kuti, “Achikulu ŵenu ni achapwenu alinji paasa, akusaka kunnola.”
He was told, “Your mother and brothers are standing outside, wanting to see You.”
21 Nambo Che Yesu ŵaasalile ŵandu wose, “Achikulu ŵangu ni achapwanga ali ŵeŵala ŵakupilikana liloŵe lya Akunnungu ni kulikamula.”
But He replied, “My mother and brothers are those who hear the word of God and carry it out.”
22 Sooni lyuŵa limo Che Yesu ŵajinjile mu ngalaŵa ni ŵakulijiganya ŵao, ŵaasalile, “Tujaule peesi litanda.” Nipele, ŵatandite ulendo.
One day Jesus said to His disciples, “Let us cross to the other side of the lake.” So He got into a boat with them and set out.
23 Paŵaliji mu ngalaŵa Che Yesu ŵaliji ni lugono ni ŵagonile. Nipele jatandite kupuga mbungo jekulungwa ni gatandite kwinjila meesi mu ngalaŵa ni ŵaliji mu chakogoya.
As they sailed, He fell asleep, and a windstorm came down on the lake, so that the boat was being swamped, and they were in great danger.
24 Ŵakulijiganya ŵala ŵajaulile Che Yesu kukwajimusya achitiji, “Ambuje, Ambuje! Tulinkwasika!” Che Yesu ŵajimwiche ni kujikalipila mbungo jekulungwa ni matumbela ga meesi, yose yamyalele ni kwaliji kutulele.
The disciples went and woke Him, saying, “Master, Master, we are perishing!” Then Jesus got up and rebuked the wind and the raging waters, and they subsided, and all was calm.
25 Ni sooni ŵaasalile, “Chikulupi chenu chili kwapi?” Nambo ŵanyawo ŵasimosile ni kamulwa ni lipamba ni kusalilana jwine ni jwine, “Mundu ju ali jwanti uli? Pakuŵa akujilamula namuno mbungo jekulungwa ni matumbela ga meesi ni yose ikwapilikanila.”
“Where is your faith?” He asked. Frightened and amazed, they asked one another, “Who is this? He commands even the winds and the water, and they obey Him!”
26 Che Yesu pamo ni ŵakulijiganya ŵao ŵajendelechele ni ulendo ni ŵaiche ku mbwani ja chilambo cha Ŵagelasi chachili peesi litanda lyaliŵandikene ni ku Galilaya.
Then they sailed to the region of the Gerasenes, across the lake from Galilee.
27 Che Yesu paŵatulwiche mu ngalaŵa ni kuliŵata mbwani, mundu jumo jwa musi ula juŵaliji ni masoka ŵannyichilile. Nambo mundu jo kwa moŵa gamajinji nganatakulaga namose nganatamaga mu nyuumba nambo ŵatamaga mu mbugu sya kusichila ŵandu.
When Jesus stepped ashore, He was met by a demon-possessed man from the town. For a long time this man had not worn clothing or lived in a house, but he stayed in the tombs.
28 Paŵammweni Che Yesu ŵalisile, ŵaligwisisye paasi paujo pao ni kunyanyisya, “Mmwejo, Che Yesu Mwana jwa Akunnungu Ŵakulu, nkusaka ichichi kwangune? Ngunchondelela ngasimulagasya!”
When the man saw Jesus, he cried out and fell down before Him, shouting in a loud voice, “What do You want with me, Jesus, Son of the Most High God? I beg You not to torture me!”
29 Ŵaŵechete yeleyo pakuŵa Che Yesu ŵalikalipile lisoka linkopoche mundu jo. Lyele lisoka lyo lyaliji nkunkamula mundu jo kaŵilikaŵili, natamuno ŵandu ŵambisile nkati ni kwataŵilisya makono ni makongolo ni unyolo ni magwedegwede, nambo ŵakutulaga nyolo syo ni magwedegwede ni lisoka lyo lyanjausyaga mwipululu.
For Jesus had commanded the unclean spirit to come out of the man. Many times it had seized him, and though he was bound with chains and shackles, he had broken the chains and been driven by the demon into solitary places.
30 Che Yesu ŵammusisye, “Liina lyenu ŵaani?” Ŵajanjile, “Liina lyangu lili ‘Mpingo.’” Ŵajanjile yeleyo pakuŵa ŵaliji ni masoka gamajinji.
“What is your name?” Jesus asked. “Legion,” he replied, because many demons had gone into him.
31 Gele masoka go gaachondelele kuti ngasiŵajausya mu lisimbo lyangali mbesi. (Abyssos g12)
And the demons kept begging Jesus not to order them to go into the Abyss. (Abyssos g12)
32 Pele paliji ni mpingo wekulungwa wa maguluŵe galiji ganinkulya mungulugulu chitumbi. Masoka gala gaachondelele Che Yesu gajaule gakagajinjile maguluŵe. Nombe Che Yesu ŵagalesile gajaule.
There on the hillside a large herd of pigs was feeding. So the demons begged Jesus to let them enter the pigs, and He gave them permission.
33 Masoka gankopweche mundu jo ni gajinjile mu maguluŵe ni mpingo wose wa maguluŵe waselelechele mu litanda lyalili chiŵandi ni chitumbi ni kutiŵila mu meesi.
Then the demons came out of the man and went into the pigs, and the herd rushed down the steep bank into the lake and was drowned.
34 Ŵakuchinga ŵala paŵaiweni yose yaitendekwe yo ŵautwiche, ŵajawile kukwasalila ŵandu ngani syo mu migunda ni misi.
When those tending the pigs saw what had happened, they ran off and reported this in the town and countryside.
35 Ŵandu ŵaiche kukulola iyakopochele. Ni ŵajaulile Che Yesu, ŵansimene mundu jugantyosile masoka jo ali atemi chiŵandi ni makongolo ga Che Yesu, ali awasile nguo ni ali ni lunda lwambone, nombewo ŵajogwepenje.
So the people went out to see what had happened. They came to Jesus and found the man whom the demons had left, sitting at Jesus’ feet, clothed and in his right mind; and they were afraid.
36 Ŵandu uŵalolite jele ngani jininkukopochela ŵaasalile ŵanyawo iŵatite pakulamwa mundu jwakamwilwe ni masoka jo.
Meanwhile, those who had seen it reported how the demon-possessed man had been healed.
37 Ni ŵandu wose ŵa chilambo cha ku Gelasi chila ŵakamwilwe ni lipamba lyekulungwa. Nipele ŵaachondelele Che Yesu atyoche, nombe Che Yesu ŵakwesile sooni mu ngalaŵa ni kwaula.
Then all the people of the region of the Gerasenes asked Jesus to depart from them, because great fear had taken hold of them. So He got into the boat and started back.
38 Mundu jugankopweche masoka jula ŵaachondelele Che Yesu kuti alongane nawo. Nambo Che Yesu ŵanlanjile, ni ŵansalile,
The man whom the demons had left begged to go with Jesus. But He sent him away, saying,
39 “Mmuje kumusi nkasale yose yatesile Akunnungu kukwenu.” Nipele, mundu jula ŵajawile ni kwenesya mu musi wose indu yose iŵapanganyichiswe ni Che Yesu.
“Return home and describe how much God has done for you.” So the man went away and proclaimed all over the town how much Jesus had done for him.
40 Che Yesu paŵajombweche litanda ni kwaula kwine, mpingo wa ŵandu ŵapochele, pakuŵa wose ŵaliji nkwalindilila.
When Jesus returned, the crowd welcomed Him, for they had all been waiting for Him.
41 Pelepo ŵaiche mundu jumo liina lyakwe che Yailo, juŵaliji chilongola jwa nyuumba ja kupopelela, ŵatindiŵele pa makongolo ga Che Yesu ni ŵaachondelele kuti ajaule kumangwao,
Just then a synagogue leader named Jairus came and fell at Jesus’ feet. He begged Him to come to his house,
42 pakuŵa mwali jwao jwajika pe jwa yaka mpela kumi na mbili ŵaliji nkulwala chiŵandika kuwa. Che Yesu paŵaliji nkwaula, ŵandu ŵaliji nkwaŵijikanya kosekose.
because his only daughter, who was about twelve, was dying. As Jesus went with him, the crowds pressed around Him,
43 Nipele paliji ni jwankongwe jumo mumpingo wa ŵandu mula, juŵalwalaga magono kwa yaka kumi na mbili, juŵamasile chipanje chakwe chose kwa ŵamitela ni ngapagwa juŵankombwele kunnamya.
including a woman who had suffered from bleeding for twelve years. She had spent all her money on physicians, but no one was able to heal her.
44 Jwankongwe jo ŵannyichilile Che Yesu kunyuma ni ŵakwaiye lujenje lwa mwinjilo wao. Papopo ŵalamile magono.
She came up behind Jesus and touched the fringe of His cloak, and immediately her bleeding stopped.
45 Che Yesu ŵausisye achitiji, “Ana ŵaani ŵangwaiye?” Wose ŵatite ngapagwa mundu jwankwaiye. Nombe che Petulo ŵatite, “Ambuje, mpingo wa ŵandu unsyungwile ni kummijikanya!”
“Who touched Me?” Jesus asked. But they all denied it. “Master,” said Peter, “the people are crowding and pressing against You.”
46 Nambo Che Yesu ŵatite, “Apali mundu jwangwaiye, nguimanyilila pakuŵa machili gangopweche.”
But Jesus declared, “Someone touched Me, for I know that power has gone out from Me.”
47 Jwankongwe jula paŵaiweni kuti ngakukombola kulisisa, ŵalikopwesye achitetemelaga kwa lipamba ni ŵatindiŵele paujo pa Che Yesu. Pelepo ni ŵasasile mmbujo mwa wose ligongo lya kwakwaya Che Yesu ni iŵatite pakulamwa kwanakamo.
Then the woman, seeing that she could not escape notice, came trembling and fell down before Him. In the presence of all the people, she explained why she had touched Him and how she had immediately been healed.
48 Che Yesu ŵansalile jwankongwe jula kuti, “Mwanangu, chikulupi chenu chinnamisye. Njaule kwa chitendewele.”
“Daughter,” said Jesus, “your faith has healed you. Go in peace.”
49 Che Yesu akanaŵe kumalisya kuŵecheta jwaiche mundu jumo kutyochela ku nyuumba ja chilongola jula kukwasalila che Yailo kuti, “Mwanagwenu awile, nkapunda kunsausya jwakwiganya.”
While He was still speaking, someone arrived from the house of the synagogue leader. “Your daughter is dead,” he told Jairus. “Do not bother the Teacher anymore.”
50 Nambo Che Yesu paŵapilikene yeleyo ŵaasalile che Yailo, “Kasinjogopa, ngambe kukulupilila, nombewo chalame.”
But Jesus overheard them and said to Jairus, “Do not be afraid; just believe, and she will be healed.”
51 Paŵaiche pa nyuumba po nganansalila mundu jwine kuti ajinjile pamo nawo, ikaŵe che Petulo ni che Yohana ni che Yakobo ni achikulugwe ni atatigwe mwali jo.
When He entered the house, He did not allow anyone to go in with Him except Peter, John, James, and the child’s father and mother.
52 Ŵandu wose ŵaliji nkulila ni kwalilila malilo. Nambo Che Yesu ŵaasalile ŵanyawo, “Mmyalale, pakuŵa nganawa nambo agambile gona pe!”
Meanwhile, everyone was weeping and mourning for her. But Jesus said, “Stop weeping; she is not dead but asleep.”
53 Ni ŵanyawo ŵansechile pakuŵa ŵaimanyililaga kuti awile.
And they laughed at Him, knowing that she was dead.
54 Nambo Che Yesu ŵankamwile nkono mwali jula ni kummilanga “Mwanangu njimuche!”
But Jesus took her by the hand and called out, “Child, get up!”
55 Umi wao waujilile ni papopo ŵajimi. Ni Che Yesu ŵaasalile kuti ŵape chakulya.
Her spirit returned, and at once she got up. And He directed that she be given something to eat.
56 Achaŵelesi ŵao ŵasimosile nnope nambo Che Yesu ŵaakanyisye kuti akansalila mundu jwalijose yaitendekweyo.
Her parents were astounded, but Jesus ordered them not to tell anyone what had happened.
