Lukka 8
1 Musule aachiindi Jesu wakeenda muzisi amumyuunzi kayabukambawuka akwaamba makani mabotu aatala abwaami bwa Leza. Balikumi ababili bakali antoomwe anguwe,
Shortly after this He visited town after town, and village after village, proclaiming His Message and telling the Good News of the Kingdom of God. The Twelve were with Him,
2 alubo bakali aamwi awumwi mwanakazi wakaponesegwa kuzwa kumyuuya mibi akuzilwazi. Meli wakalikutegwa Magadalini ooyo wakaponesegwa kuzwa kuma dayimona ali musanu aabili;
and certain women whom He had delivered from evil spirits and various diseases--Mary of Magdala, out of whom seven demons had come,
3 Jowana, mukayintu wa Chuza, mubanzi wa Helodi, Susana abamwi biingi bakalikumusanina, kuzwa kulubono lwabo.
and Joanna the wife of Chuza, Herod's steward, and Susanna, and many other women, all of whom contributed to the support of Jesus and His Apostles.
4 Lino makamu aabantu naakabungene, bakaza kulinguwe kabazwa mumadolopo asiyene siyene wakabaambila chikozyanisyo.
And when a great crowd was assembling, and was receiving additions from one town after another, He spoke a parable to them.
5 “Mulimi wakaya kukubyala mbuto zyakwe, awo kalikubyala imwi yakawida munzila yalyatwa aamawulu abantu atuyuni twakujulu twakiilya.
"The sower," He said, "goes out to sow his seed; and as he sows, some of the seed falls by the way-side, and is trodden upon, or the birds of the air come and peck it up.
6 Imwi yakawida aabwe, yakamena chakufwambaana, mpawo yakanyana, nkaambo teyakalikwe kuteta aansi.
Another part drops upon the rock, and after growing up it withers away for want of moisture.
7 Imwi yakawida mumaamvwa, mpawo maamvwa akakomena aamwi ambuto mpawo akiiyasa mbuto.
Another part falls among the thorns, and the thorns grow up with it and stifle it.
8 Pesi imwi yakawida mumuse mubotu mpawo yakazyala michelo yakali abana biinda mwaanda.” Jesu nakaamana kwamba eezi zintu, wakoompola wati, “Ooyo uulamatwi aakumvwa, ngamvwe.”
But some of the seed falls into good ground, and grows up and yields a return of a hundred for one." While thus speaking, He cried aloud and said, "Listen, every one who has ears to listen with!"
9 Basikwiiya bakwe bakabuzya kuti chaambayi chikozyanisio eechi.
The disciples proceeded to ask Him what this parable meant.
10 Wakati, “Luzibo lwansiswa zya Leza lulipedwe kulindinywe, pesi kulibamwi ndaambula muzikozyanisyo, nkaambo 'balabona pesi tababonesesyi, mpawo balamvwa pesi balakonzya kutamvwisisisya.'
"To you," He replied, "it is granted to know the secrets of the Kingdom of God; but all others are taught by parables, in order that they may see and yet not see, and may hear and yet not understand.
11 Lino nchechi chaamba chikomzyanisyo eechi: mbuto ndijwi lya Leza.
The meaning of the parable is as follows. The seed is God's Message.
12 Aabo bali munzila mbaabo bamvwa, pesi dyabbulosi wasika wabweza jwi kuzwa mumyoyo yabo, kuchitila kuti tabasyomi akufutulwa.
Those by the way-side are those who have heard, and then the Devil comes and carries away the Message from their hearts, lest they should believe and be saved.
13 Mpawo aabo bali aabbwe mbaabo, banga balimvwa jwi, balalimvwa chakukondwa. Pesi tabakwe miyanda; balasyoma kwakayindi kaniini mpawo muchiindi chamasunko balawida aansi.
Those on the rock are the people who on hearing the Message receive it joyfully; but they have no root: for a time they believe, but when trial comes they fall away.
14 Mmbuto yakawida mumaamvwa mbantu banga balimvwa jwi, pesi nibeenda mnzila zyabo, balayaswa azintu zyenyika abuvubi antoomwe abubotu bwabuumi oobu, alimwi michelo yabo tiikomeni pe.
That which fell among the thorns means those who have heard, but as they go on their way, the Message is stifled by the anxieties, wealth and gaieties of time, and they yield nothing in perfection.
15 Pesi imbuto yakawida mumuse mubotu, aaba mbaabo, bamvwa jwi amoyo wachoonzyo alusyomo, balalijata akuzyala michelo kabali alukakatizyo
But as for that in the good ground, it means those who, having listened to the Message with open minds and in a right spirit, hold it fast, and patiently yield a return.
16 Lino, taakwe, uunga nadomeka lampi wali vumba achisuwo mna kulibika smuchinkuma. Ulalibika aachibikilo chalampi kuchitila kuti limunikile boonse banjila mung'anda, kuti babone mumuni.
"When any one lights a lamp, he does not cover it with a vessel or hide it under a couch; he puts it on a lampstand, that people who enter the room may see the light.
17 Nkaambo tachiwo pe chisisikene chitakaleke kuzibwa, nikuba nsiswa iitakaleke kuzibwa mumuni wazoosika.
There is nothing hidden, which shall not be openly seen; nor anything secret, which shall not be known and come into the light of day.
18 Aboobo amuswiilizye kabotu nkaambo ooyo uula nchajisi uyooyungizigwa, pesi ooyo uutakwe nchajisi nikuba eezyo nzyayeeya kuti ulijisi uyoonyanzigwa.”
Be careful, therefore, how you hear; for whoever has anything, to him more shall be given, and whoever has nothing, even that which he thinks he has shall be taken away from him."
19 Mpawo banyina abakwabo bakasika kuli nguwe, pesi taakwe nibakamuswena afwiifwi pe nkaambo kamakamu miingi.
Then came to Him His mother and His brothers, but could not get near Him for the crowd.
20 Bakamwaambila kuti, “Banyoko abakwanu, baliimvwi aanze bayanda kukubona.”
But He was told, "Your mother and brothers are standing on the edge of the crowd, and want to see you."
21 Pesi Jesu wakavwiila wati kuli mbabo, “Baamba abakwesu mbaabo bamvwa jwi lya Leza akulichita.”
"My mother and my brothers," He replied, "are these who hear God's Message and obey it."
22 Lino bumwi buzuba wakanjila mubwaato abasikwiiya bakwe, mpawo wakati kulimbabo. “Atuye kulilimbi bbazu lya lwizi.” Bakayamba.
One day He went on board a boat--both He and his disciples; and He said to them, "Let us cross over to the other side of the Lake." So they set sail.
23 Kabachiyabuyamba, wakawona. Imvula mpati ilaaguwo yakasika aatala alwizi, bwaato bwabo bwakatalika kunjila maanzi alimwi bakali baba mubuyumuyumu.
During the passage He fell asleep, and there came down a squall of wind on the Lake, so that the boat began to fill and they were in deadly peril.
24 Mpawo basikwiiya ba Jesu bakaza kuli nguwe bamusinsimuna bati, “Mwami, Mwami, twaamba kufwa. Wakabuka mpawo wuumuzya guwo amaanzi mpawo kwabatama.
So they came and woke Him, crying, "Rabbi, Rabbi, we are drowning." Then He roused Himself and rebuked the wind and the surging of the water, and they ceased and there was a calm.
25 Mpawo wakati kuli mbabo, “Luli kuli lusyomo lwanu?” Pesi bakayoowa akugamba, bakabuzyania umwi awumwi kabati, “Ngwani ooyu, iguwo amanzi eelyo zilamuswiilizya?”
"Where is your faith?" He asked them. But they were filled with terror and amazement, and said to one another, "Who then is this? for He gives orders both to wind and waves, and they obey Him."
26 Bakayamba bakusika kuchisi cha Gelasensi, chili miutala eeliya alwizi lwa Galili.
Then they put in to shore in the country of the Gerasenes, which lies opposite to Galilee.
27 Lino Jesu naakalyata aanyika wakaswaana umwi mwaalumi wakali aama dimoni. Wakali waba achiindi chilamfu katakwe naakazwete zigogo pe, alubo teensi wakali kukkala mung'anda pesi wakali kukkala kuzyuumbwe.
Here, on landing, He was met by one of the townsmen who was possessed by demons--for a long time he had not put on any garment, nor did he live in a house, but in the tombs.
28 Aawo naakabona Jesu waka kwiila akuwida munsi lakwe wati kulinguwe ajwi pati, “Uli aamakanze nzi andime, Jesu mwana wa Leza uusumpukide loko? Ndakukumbila utandipenzyi.”
When he saw Jesus, he cried out and fell down before Him, and said in a loud voice, "What have you to do with me, Jesus, Son of God Most High? Do not torture me, I beseech you."
29 Nkaambo Jesu wakali walayilila muuya mubi kuti uzwe mumuntu. Nkaambo wakali wamupenzya kwachiindi chilamfu, nikuba wakuli kunoonga waangwa nsimbi anketani, wakalikuzidunsula alimwi wakalikunoonga wazulwidwa amuuya ooyo kuya mulusaka.
For already He had been commanding the foul spirit to come out of the man. For many a time it had seized and held him, and they had repeatedly put him in chains and fetters and kept guard over him, but he used to break the chains to pieces, and, impelled by the demon, to escape into the Desert.
30 Mpawo Jesu wakamubuzya wati, “Nduweni zina lyako?” Wakasandula wati, “Ligiyoni,” nkaambo bakali biingi badayimona bakamunjide.
"What is your name?" Jesus asked him. "Legion," he replied--because a great number of demons had entered into him;
and they besought Him not to command them to be gone into the Bottomless Pit. (Abyssos g12)
32 Lino butanga bwa ngulube bwakali kuchela munsi aachilundu. Mpawo badayimona aabo bakakumbila kuti banjizigwe mungulube eezyo, mpawo Jesu wakaazumizya.
Now there was a great herd of swine there feeding on the hill-side; and the demons begged Him to give them leave to go into them, and He gave them leave.
33 Madayimona aayo akazwa mumuntu aakunjila mungulube, alimwi ingulube eezyo zyakachijaana zyankunukila mulwizi zyayinkila.
The demons came out of the man and left him, and entered into the swine; and the herd rushed violently over the cliff into the Lake and were drowned.
34 Lino aabo bakali kweembela tanga lya ngulube nibakabona zyakachitika, bakachijanina muguzi bakuluula zakachitika.
The swineherds, seeing what had happened, fled and reported it both in town and country;
35 Mpawo bantu biingi bakasika kuti bazobone zyakachitika, mpawo bakasika kuli Jesu bazojana kuli mwaalumi ooyo kuli nguwe badyabbulosi nkubaka tandwa. Walkalikkede munsi lya Jesu, kazwete alimwi kali waba amaanu kalikabotu mpawo bakayoowa.
whereupon the people came out to see what had happened. They came to Jesus, and they found the man from whom the demons had gone out sitting at the feet of Jesus, clothed and in his right mind; and they were terrified.
36 Lino aabo bakazibona zyakachitika bakababuzya mbuzyakachitika zyakuponesegwa kwa mwaalumi wakali aaba dayimona mbaakaponesegwa.
And those who had seen it told them how the demoniac was cured.
37 Lino bantu bamu Gerasensi bakakumbila Jesu kuti azwe kuli mbabo, nkaambo obakali baba aakuyowa kupati. Aboobo wakaknjila mubwaato kuti basangune kuyamba babweede.
Then the whole population of the Gerasenes and of the adjacent districts begged Him to depart from them; for their terror was great. So He went on board and returned.
38 Mwaalumi ooyu wakagwisigwa ba dyabbulosi wakakumbila Jesu kuti bayinke aamwi, pesi Jesu wakamukakila wati,
But the man from whom the demons had gone out earnestly asked permission to go with Him; but He sent him away.
39 “Bweeda kumunzi wako ukabaambile zyoonse Leza nzyakuchitila.” Ooyu mwaalumi wakayinka kayobwaamba mudolopo lyoomnse aatala anzyakamuchitila Jesu.
"Return home," He said, "and tell there all that God has done for you." So he went and published through the whole town all that Jesus had done for him.
40 Lino Jesu nakabweeda, makamu akamutambula nkaambo bakali kumulangila.
Now when Jesus was returning, the people gave Him a warm welcome; for they had all been looking out for Him.
41 Amubone umwi mwaalumi uutegwa Jayilasi wakali uumwi wabeendelezi bachikombelo, wakasika wawida kumawulu aa Jesu mpawo wamukumbila kuti ayinke kung'anda yakwe,
Just then there came a man named Jair, a Warden of the Synagogue, who threw himself at the feet of Jesus, and entreated Him to come to his house;
42 nkaambo mwanakwe uzyedwe alikke, musimbi wakali amyaaka yakachibe kkumi ayibili wakali waamba kufwa. Awo Jesu nakali munzila kuya nkuko, makamu makamu aabantu akamuzyunguluka chaku syankana.
for he had an only daughter, about twelve years old, and she was dying. And as He went, the dense throng crowded on Him.
43 Lino aawo kwakaliwo mwanakazi wakali kuzwa gazi kwamyaaka iilikumi ayibili mpawo wakabelesya mali yakwe yoonse kuzibbadela, pesi taakwe naakapona pe.
And a woman who for twelve years had been afflicted with haemorrhage--and had spent on doctors all she had, but none of them had been able to cure her--
44 Wakasika kusule lya Jesu mpawo wakajata lupipito lwa jansi lyakwe, mpawo aawo gazi lyakayimikila kuzwa.
came close behind Him and touched the tassel of His robe; and instantly her flow of blood stopped.
45 Jesu wakati, “Ngwani wandi guma?” Boonse nibakakazya Pita wakati, “Makamu makamu aabantu alikuzyungulukide alimwi akusyankania.”
"Who is it touched me?" Jesus asked. And when all denied having done so, Peter and the rest said, "Rabbi, the crowds are hemming you in and pressing on you."
46 Pesi Jesu wakati, “Mpali wandiguma nkaambo ndaziba kuti inguzu zyazwa mulindime.”
"Some one has touched me," Jesus replied, "for I feel that power has gone out from me."
47 Lino mwanakazi ooyo naakabona kuti takuyubiki wakaza ulakankamba akuwida ansi kunembo lyakwe. Wakalungununa kunembo lyabantu boonse nchaakamugumina akuponesegwa nkwaakachita mpawo aawo.
Then the woman, perceiving that she had not escaped notice, came trembling, and throwing herself down at His feet she stated before all the people the reason why she had touched Him and how she was instantly cured.
48 Mpawo wakati kuli nguwe “Mwanangu, lusyomo lwako lwakufutula. Yinka muluumuno.”
"Daughter," said He, "your faith has cured you; go, and be at peace."
49 Naakachili kwaambula, umwi wakasika kuzwa kung'anda yamuzuluzi wachikombelo, wati, “Mwana wako wafwa kale. Utachimukatazyi pe muyiisyi.”
While He was still speaking, some one came to the Warden of the Synagogue from his house and said, "Your daughter is dead; trouble the Rabbi no further."
50 Pesi Jesu naakamvwa eezi wakasansula Jayilasi wati, “Utayoowi, syoma biyo, mpawo ulaponesegwa.”
Jesus heard the words and said to him, "Have no fear. Only believe, and she shall be restored to life."
51 Naakasika kung'anda, taakwe muntu ngwaakazumizya kunjila aawe, kunze kwa Pita a Joni a Jemusi, awisi wamwana abanyina.
So He came to the house, but allowed no one to go in with Him but Peter and John and James and the girl's father and mother.
52 Lino boonse bakali kuusa akumulila, pesi wakati, “Mutalili pe; tafwide pe ulikoona biya.”
The people were all weeping aloud and beating their breasts for her; but He said, "Leave off wailing; for she is not dead, but asleep."
53 Pesi bakamuseka, nkaambo bakalizi kuti ulifwide.
And they jeered at Him, knowing that she was dead.
54 Mpawo wakamujata akuboko akoompolola, wakati, “Yo mwana buka!”
He, however, took her by the hand and called aloud, "Child, awake!"
55 Muuya wakwe waka boola, mpao aawo wakabuka. wakabalayilila kuti bamupe chakulya.
And her spirit returned, and instantly she stood up; and He directed them to give her some food.
56 Bazyali bakwe bakagamba pesi wakabalayilila kuti bataambili muntu achakachitika.
Her parents were astounded; but He forbad them to mention the matter to any one.
