< 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.
Now it happened after this that He started going around town by town, village by village, preaching and proclaiming the good news of the Kingdom of God, and 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,
also certain women who had been healed of malignant spirits and infirmities: Mary (the one 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.
and Joanna the wife of Chuza, an official of Herod; and Susanna, and many others—these were providing for Him from their substance.
4 Mpingo wa ŵandu ŵaliji uninkusongangana ni ŵandu kukopochela misi jina jose ŵaliji nkwaichilila Che Yesu. Nombewo ŵatanjile achi chitagu chi.
Now when a large crowd had gathered, with people coming to Him from town after town, He spoke by a parable:
5 “Mundu jwakulima ŵajawile kukumisa mbeju syakwe. Paŵamisaga sine syapatuchile mwitala ni uŵajesile mwitala mo ŵasiliŵete ni ijuni yalile.
“A sower went out to sow his seed; and as he sowed some fell along the road, and it got trampled, and the birds of the air devoured it.
6 Mbeju sine syapatuchile palitaka lyalili ni maganga ni pasyamesile syanyasile ligongo litaka nganilikola meesi.
And some fell on the rock ledge, and upon sprouting it withered, because it had no moisture.
7 Sine syapatuchile pasikati miiŵa. Jele miiŵa jo jamesile pamo nasyo ni kusiŵijikanya.
And some fell among thorns, and springing up together the thorns choked it.
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!”
The rest fell into the good ground, and growing up it produced fruit a hundredfold.” Upon saying these things 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 saying, “What does this parable mean?”
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.
So He said: “To you it has been given to know the mysteries of the Kingdom of God, but to the rest only in parables, so that ‘seeing they may not see, and hearing they may not understand.’
11 “Nipele, malumbo ga chitagu chi ni aga, Mbeju lili liloŵe lya Akunnungu.
“Now here is 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.
Those along the road are those who hear; then the devil comes and takes away the word from their hearts, in order that they not be saved, having believed.
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.
Those on the rock ledge are the ones who, whenever they hear, receive the word with joy; yet these have no root, who believe for a while and in time of testing 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.
Now that which fell into the thorns: these are the ones who heard, yet as they go they are choked by cares, riches, and pleasures of life, and bring no fruit to maturity.
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 that on the good ground: these are the ones who having heard the word with a noble and good heart, hold on to it and produce fruit with perseverance.”
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.
Upon saying these things He called out: “He who has ears to hear, let him hear! No one, when he has lit a lamp, covers it with a vessel or puts it under a bed, but he sets it on a lamp stand, so that those who come in may see the light.
17 “Chachilichose chachisisikwe, chichiŵichikwe pakulanguka ni chachilichose cheunichile chichiŵe cheunukulikwe ni kuŵichikwa pakulanguka.
Further, there is nothing hidden that will not be revealed, nor anything concealed that will not be made known and come into the open.
18 “Nipele nlilolechesye ni upilikane wenu, pakuŵa jwakwete chindu chajonjechekwe nambo jwanganakola chindu, chasumulwe atamuno kanandi chakuchiganisya kuti akwete.”
So be careful how you hear: Because whoever has, to him more will be given; and 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 His mother and brothers came to Him, and they could not get near Him because of the crowd.
20 Mundu jumo ŵansalile Che Yesu kuti, “Achikulu ŵenu ni achapwenu alinji paasa, akusaka kunnola.”
And it was told Him by some saying, “Your mother and your 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 in answer He said to them, “My mother and my brothers are these, the ones who hear the word of God and do it!”
22 Sooni lyuŵa limo Che Yesu ŵajinjile mu ngalaŵa ni ŵakulijiganya ŵao, ŵaasalile, “Tujaule peesi litanda.” Nipele, ŵatandite ulendo.
Now it happened on one of those days that He got into a boat with His disciples; and He said to them, “Let us go over to the other side of the lake.” So they launched 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.
But as they sailed He fell asleep. A windstorm descended on the lake, and they were being swamped and were in jeopardy.
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.
So they came and awakened Him, saying, “Master, Master, we are perishing!” Then He got up and rebuked the wind and the waves of water—and they stopped, and there was a 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.”
So He said to them, “Where is your faith?” But being terrified they marveled, saying to each other: “Who can this be? Because 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 district of the Gadarenes, which is opposite 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.
Well when He stepped out on the land, a certain man of that town met Him, who had had demons for a long time—he wore no clothes, nor did he live in a house, but among 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 he saw Jesus he gave a yell, fell down before Him, and with a loud voice he said: “What do you want with me, Jesus, Son of the Most High God? I beg you, don't torment 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.
because He had commanded the unclean spirit to get out of the man (it had seized him many times—he would be bound with chains and shackles, being kept under guard; then bursting the bonds he would be driven by the demon into deserted places).
30 Che Yesu ŵammusisye, “Liina lyenu ŵaani?” Ŵajanjile, “Liina lyangu lili ‘Mpingo.’” Ŵajanjile yeleyo pakuŵa ŵaliji ni masoka gamajinji.
Then Jesus asked him, “What is your name?” And he said, “Legion” (because many demons had gone into him).
31 Gele masoka go gaachondelele kuti ngasiŵajausya mu lisimbo lyangali mbesi. (Abyssos g12)
And he kept imploring Him that He would not order them to go away 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.
Now a herd of many pigs was feeding there on the hillside; and they started begging Him that He would allow them to go into those; so 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 exited the man and entered 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.
Well when the herders saw what had happened they ran away and reported it in the town and in the 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 they went out to see what had happened, and came to Jesus; they found the man from whom the demons had gone out 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.
Also, the eyewitnesses reported to them how the demonized man was 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 the whole multitude from the surrounding region of the Gadarenes asked Him to depart from them, because they were overcome by fear. So He got into the boat and returned.
38 Mundu jugankopweche masoka jula ŵaachondelele Che Yesu kuti alongane nawo. Nambo Che Yesu ŵanlanjile, ni ŵansalile,
Now the man from whom the demons had gone out had started begging Him that he might be with Him. But Jesus 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 to your house and recount how much God has done for you.” So he went his way and proclaimed all over town how much Jesus had done for him.
40 Che Yesu paŵajombweche litanda ni kwaula kwine, mpingo wa ŵandu ŵapochele, pakuŵa wose ŵaliji nkwalindilila.
Now it happened, when Jesus returned, that the crowd welcomed Him, because they were all 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,
And then, there came a man named Jairus, and he was a ruler of the synagogue; he fell down at Jesus' feet and started begging 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 he had an only daughter, about twelve years old, and she was dying. Now as He was going, the crowds were pressing against 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.
And a woman—suffering with a flow of blood for twelve years, who had spent her whole livelihood on physicians, but could not be healed by any—
44 Jwankongwe jo ŵannyichilile Che Yesu kunyuma ni ŵakwaiye lujenje lwa mwinjilo wao. Papopo ŵalamile magono.
approaching from behind touched the border of His garment; and immediately the flow of her blood 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!”
So Jesus said, “Who touched me?” When all denied it, Peter and those with him said: “Master, the people are pressing against you and crowding in, and you say, ‘Who touched me?’”
46 Nambo Che Yesu ŵatite, “Apali mundu jwangwaiye, nguimanyilila pakuŵa machili gangopweche.”
But Jesus said, “Someone did touch me, because I noticed power going 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.
Now when the woman saw that she could not hide, she came trembling, and falling down before Him she told Him in the presence of all the people the reason why she had touched Him, and how she was healed immediately.
48 Che Yesu ŵansalile jwankongwe jula kuti, “Mwanangu, chikulupi chenu chinnamisye. Njaule kwa chitendewele.”
So He said: “Courage, daughter, your faith has healed you. Go into 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, here came someone from the synagogue ruler's house, saying to him: “Your daughter has died. Don't bother the teacher.”
50 Nambo Che Yesu paŵapilikene yeleyo ŵaasalile che Yailo, “Kasinjogopa, ngambe kukulupilila, nombewo chalame.”
But upon hearing it Jesus reacted by saying to him, “Don't 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 arrived at the house, He allowed no one to go in except Peter, John, James, the father of the child, and her mother.
52 Ŵandu wose ŵaliji nkulila ni kwalilila malilo. Nambo Che Yesu ŵaasalile ŵanyawo, “Mmyalale, pakuŵa nganawa nambo agambile gona pe!”
Now all were weeping and mourning for her; but He said, “Do not weep; she is not dead, but sleeping.”
53 Ni ŵanyawo ŵansechile pakuŵa ŵaimanyililaga kuti awile.
They started ridiculing Him, knowing that she had died.
54 Nambo Che Yesu ŵankamwile nkono mwali jula ni kummilanga “Mwanangu njimuche!”
So He put them all outside, and grasping her hand He called, saying, “Child, arise!”
55 Umi wao waujilile ni papopo ŵajimi. Ni Che Yesu ŵaasalile kuti ŵape chakulya.
Then her spirit returned, and she got right 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 astonished, but He charged them to tell no one what had happened.
