Matthew 12
1 At that time, Jesus went on the Sabbath day through the grain fields. His disciples were hungry and began to pluck heads of grain and to eat.
Awo mu kiseera ekyo Yesu n’ayita mu nnimiro y’emmere ey’empeke ku lunaku lwa Ssabbiiti. Abayigirizwa be ne balumwa enjala ne batandika okunoga ebirimba by’eŋŋaano ne babirya.
2 But the Pharisees, when they saw it, said to him, “Behold, your disciples do what is not lawful to do on the Sabbath.”
Naye Abafalisaayo bwe baalaba kino ne bagamba Yesu nti, “Laba abayigirizwa bo bakola ekitakkirizibwa kukolebwa ku Ssabbiiti.”
3 But he said to them, “Have not you read what David did when he was hungry, and those who were with him:
Naye Yesu n’abaddamu nti, “Temusomanga ku Dawudi kye yakola bwe yalumwa enjala ne be yali nabo?
4 how he entered into God’s house and ate the show bread, which was not lawful for him to eat, nor for those who were with him, but only for the priests?
Yayingira mu nnyumba ya Katonda n’alya emigaati egy’okulaga, egikkirizibwa bakabona bokka okulya.
5 Or have you not read in the law that on the Sabbath day the priests in the temple profane the Sabbath and are guiltless?
Oba temusomanga mu mateeka nti bakabona ababeera mu luwalo lw’okuweereza mu Yeekaalu ne basobya ku Ssabbiiti tebaliiko musango?
6 But I tell you that one greater than the temple is here.
Naye mbagamba nti ekisinga Yeekaalu kiri wano.
7 But if you had known what this means, ‘I desire mercy, and not sacrifice,’ you would not have condemned the guiltless.
Naye singa mumanyi amakulu ga kino nti, ‘Njagala mubeerenga ba kisa okusinga okuwangayo ssaddaaka,’ temwandinenyezza bataliiko musango.
8 For the Son of Man is Lord of the Sabbath.”
Kubanga Omwana w’Omuntu ye Mukama wa Ssabbiiti.”
9 He departed from there and went into their synagogue.
N’avaayo n’ajja mu kuŋŋaaniro lyabwe.
10 And behold, there was a man with a withered hand. They asked him, “Is it lawful to heal on the Sabbath day?” so that they might accuse him.
Laba mwalimu omusajja eyalina omukono ogwakala. Ne babuuza Yesu obanga kikkirizibwa okuwonya ku Ssabbiiti. Baali basuubira nti anaddamu nti kituufu, balyoke bamuwawaabire.
11 He said to them, “What man is there among you who has one sheep, and if this one falls into a pit on the Sabbath day, will not he grab on to it and lift it out?
Naye n’abaddamu nti, “Singa wabaddewo omuntu mu mmwe ng’alina endiga emu, n’egwa mu bunnya ku lunaku lwa Ssabbiiti, tagiggyamu?
12 Of how much more value then is a man than a sheep! Therefore it is lawful to do good on the Sabbath day.”
Kale, omuntu tasinga nnyo endiga omuwendo? Noolwekyo kikkirizibwa okukola ekirungi ku Ssabbiiti.”
13 Then he told the man, “Stretch out your hand.” He stretched it out; and it was restored whole, just like the other.
Bw’atyo n’agamba omusajja nti, “Golola omukono gwo.” N’agugolola ne guwona, ne guba mulamu nga gunnaagwo!
14 But the Pharisees went out and conspired against him, how they might destroy him.
Awo Abafalisaayo ne bafuluma ne bateesa nga bwe banaazikiriza Yesu.
15 Jesus, perceiving that, withdrew from there. Great multitudes followed him; and he healed them all,
Naye Yesu bwe yakimanya n’afuluma mu kuŋŋaaniro, abantu bangi nnyo ne bamugoberera, n’awonya abaali abalwadde bonna,
16 and commanded them that they should not make him known,
kyokka n’abakomako baleme okumwatuukiriza.
17 that it might be fulfilled which was spoken through Isaiah the prophet, saying,
Ebyayogerwa Nnabbi Isaaya biryoke bituukirire nti:
18 “Behold, my servant whom I have chosen, my beloved in whom my soul is well pleased. I will put my Spirit on him. He will proclaim justice to the nations.
“Laba Omuweereza wange, ggwe neerondera, gwe njagala ennyo asanyusa emmeeme yange. Ndimuteekako Omwoyo wange era Alisalira amawanga gonna emisango.
19 He will not strive, nor shout, neither will anyone hear his voice in the streets.
Taliyomba so talireekaana, era tewaliba n’omu aliwulira eddoboozi lye mu nguudo.
20 He will not break a bruised reed. He will not quench a smoking flax, until he leads justice to victory.
Talimenya lumuli lunafu, wadde okuzikiriza olutambi lw’ettaala olunyooka.
21 In his name, the nations will hope.”
Era abamawanga baliba n’essuubi mu linnya lye.”
22 Then one possessed by a demon, blind and mute, was brought to him; and he healed him, so that the blind and mute man both spoke and saw.
Awo Yesu ne bamuleetera omusajja eyaliko dayimooni, nga muzibe w’amaaso era nga tayogera. N’amuwonya, omusajja eyali tasobola kwogera n’asobola okwogera n’okulaba.
23 All the multitudes were amazed, and said, “Can this be the son of David?”
Abantu bonna ne beewuunya ne boogera nti, “Ddala ddala ono si mwana wa Dawudi?”
24 But when the Pharisees heard it, they said, “This man does not cast out demons except by Beelzebul, the prince of the demons.”
Naye Abafalisaayo bwe baakiwulira ne boogera nti, “Ono agoba baddayimooni ku bwa Beeruzebuli omukulu wa baddayimooni.”
25 Knowing their thoughts, Jesus said to them, “Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation, and every city or house divided against itself will not stand.
Yesu bwe yategeera ebirowoozo byabwe n’abagamba nti, “Obwakabaka bwe bwawukanamu, oba ekibuga wadde amaka, tebiyinza kuyimirira.
26 If Satan casts out Satan, he is divided against himself. How then will his kingdom stand?
Ne Setaani bw’agoba Setaani munne ku muntu aba yeyawuddemu. Obwakabaka bwe bunaayimirira butya?
27 If I by Beelzebul cast out demons, by whom do your children cast them out? Therefore they will be your judges.
Obanga Nze ngoba baddayimooni ku bwa Beeruzebuli omukulu wa baddayimooni, kale batabani bammwe babagoba ku bw’ani? Noolwekyo be bali basalira omusango.
28 But if I by the Spirit of God cast out demons, then God’s Kingdom has come upon you.
Naye bwe mba ngoba baddayimooni n’amaanyi g’Omwoyo wa Katonda, kale Obwakabaka bwa Katonda buzze gye muli.
29 Or how can one enter into the house of the strong man and plunder his goods, unless he first bind the strong man? Then he will plunder his house.
“Oba omuntu ayinza atya okuyingira mu nnyumba y’omuntu ow’amaanyi, n’amunyagako ebintu bye okuggyako ng’asooka okusiba ow’amaanyi oyo? Olwo n’alyoka anyaga ebintu bye.
30 “He who is not with me is against me, and he who does not gather with me, scatters.
“Oyo atali nange, mulabe wange. N’oyo atakuŋŋaanyiza wamu nange asaasaanya.
31 Therefore I tell you, every sin and blasphemy will be forgiven men, but the blasphemy against the Spirit will not be forgiven men.
Noolwekyo mbategeereza ddala nti omuntu alisonyiyibwa buli kibi kyonna, na buli kuvvoola. Naye alivvoola Mwoyo Mutukuvu talisonyiyibwa.
32 Whoever speaks a word against the Son of Man, it will be forgiven him; but whoever speaks against the Holy Spirit, it will not be forgiven him, either in this age (aiōn g165), or in that which is to come.
Na buli muntu ayogera ekigambo ekibi ku Mwana w’Omuntu alisonyiyibwa, naye ayogera ekibi ku Mwoyo Omutukuvu talisonyiyibwa mu mulembe guno wadde ogugenda okujja. (aiōn g165)
33 “Either make the tree good and its fruit good, or make the tree corrupt and its fruit corrupt; for the tree is known by its fruit.
“Buli muti gutegeererwa ku bibala byagwo. Omuti bw’ogulabirira gubala ebibala ebirungi, naye bw’ogulagajjalira tegubala bibala.
34 You offspring of vipers, how can you, being evil, speak good things? For out of the abundance of the heart, the mouth speaks.
Mmwe abaana b’embalasaasa, mmwe abalina ebibi muyinza mutya okwogera ebirungi? Akamwa koogera ku biba bijjudde mu mutima.
35 The good man out of his good treasure brings out good things, and the evil man out of his evil treasure brings out evil things.
Omuntu omulungi afulumya ebirungi okuva mu tterekero lye eddungi, era n’omuntu omubi afulumya ebibi okuva mu tterekero lye ebbi.
36 I tell you that every idle word that men speak, they will give account of it in the day of judgment.
Era mbategeeza nti buli kigambo kyonna ekitasaana abantu kye boogera, kiribabuuzibwa ku lunaku olw’okusalirako emisango.
37 For by your words you will be justified, and by your words you will be condemned.”
Bwe bityo ebigambo byo bye birikuweesa obutuukirivu era ebigambo byo bye birikusalizisa omusango.”
38 Then certain of the scribes and Pharisees answered, “Teacher, we want to see a sign from you.”
Awo abamu ku bannyonnyozi b’amateeka n’Abafalisaayo ne bagamba Yesu nti, “Omuyigiriza twagala otulage akabonero.”
39 But he answered them, “An evil and adulterous generation seeks after a sign, but no sign will be given to it but the sign of Jonah the prophet.
Naye n’abaddamu nti, “Omulembe omwonoonefu era omwenzi ogunoonya akabonero; temugenda kuweebwa kabonero okuggyako aka nnabbi Yona.
40 For as Jonah was three days and three nights in the belly of the huge fish, so will the Son of Man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth.
Kubanga Yona nga bwe yamala mu lubuto lw’ekyennyanja ekinene ennaku ssatu emisana n’ekiro, n’Omwana w’Omuntu bw’atyo bw’alimala mu ttaka ennaku ssatu emisana n’ekiro.
41 The men of Nineveh will stand up in the judgment with this generation and will condemn it, for they repented at the preaching of Jonah; and behold, someone greater than Jonah is here.
Abantu b’e Nineeve baliyimirira ne basaliza abantu b’omulembe guno omusango okubasinga, kubanga beenenya bwe baawulira okubuulira kwa Yona. Naye laba asinga Yona ali wano.
42 The Queen of the South will rise up in the judgment with this generation and will condemn it, for she came from the ends of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon; and behold, someone greater than Solomon is here.
Era ku lunaku olw’okusalirako omusango, kabaka omukazi ow’omu bukiikaddyo alisaliza abantu ab’omulembe guno omusango okubasinga, kubanga yava ku nkomerero y’ensi okujja okuwuliriza amagezi ga Sulemaani. Naye laba asinga Sulemaani ali wano.
43 “When an unclean spirit has gone out of a man, he passes through waterless places seeking rest, and does not find it.
“Omwoyo ogutali mulongoofu bwe guva mu muntu guyita mu malungu nga gunoonya aw’okuwumulirako, ne gutafuna wa kuwummulira.
44 Then he says, ‘I will return into my house from which I came;’ and when he has come back, he finds it empty, swept, and put in order.
Kyeguva gugamba nti, ‘Leka nzireyo mu nnyumba mwe nava.’ Bwe guddayo gusanga nkalu, nga eyereddwa era nga ntegeke.
45 Then he goes and takes with himself seven other spirits more evil than he is, and they enter in and dwell there. The last state of that man becomes worse than the first. Even so will it be also to this evil generation.”
Kyeguva gugenda ne guleeta emyoyo emirala musanvu egigusingako obwonoonefu, ne giyingira mu nnyumba omwo ne gibeera omwo. Olwo omuntu oyo n’abeera bubi nnyo okusinga bwe yali okusooka. Bwe kityo bwe kiriba n’omulembe guno omwonoonefu.”
46 While he was yet speaking to the multitudes, behold, his mother and his brothers stood outside, seeking to speak to him.
Yesu bwe yali akyayogera n’ekibiina, nnyina ne baganda be ne batuuka ne bayimirira ebweru nga baagala okwogera naye.
47 One said to him, “Behold, your mother and your brothers stand outside, seeking to speak to you.”
Omuntu omu n’amutegeeza nti, “Nnyoko ne baganda bo, bali wabweru baagala kwogera nawe.”
48 But he answered him who spoke to him, “Who is my mother? Who are my brothers?”
Yesu n’amuddamu nti, “Mmange ye ani era ne baganda bange be baani?”
49 He stretched out his hand toward his disciples, and said, “Behold, my mother and my brothers!
N’agolola omukono gwe eri abayigirizwa be n’agamba nti, “Mulabe mmange ne baganda bange!
50 For whoever does the will of my Father who is in heaven, he is my brother, and sister, and mother.”
Kubanga buli akola ebyo Kitange ali mu ggulu by’ayagala oyo ye muganda wange, ye mwannyinaze era ye mmange.”
