Luke 8
1 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,
Oluvannyuma lw’ebyo Yesu n’agenda ng’akyalira ebibuga ebinene n’ebitono ng’abuulira Enjiri y’obwakabaka bwa Katonda, n’abayigirizwa be ekkumi n’ababiri nga bali naye.
2 as well as some women who had been healed of evil spirits and infirmities: Mary called Magdalene, from whom seven demons had gone out,
Waaliwo n’abakazi Yesu be yali agobyeko emyoyo emibi ne be yali awonyezza endwadde. Mu bo mwe mwali ne Maliyamu eyayitibwanga Magudaleene gwe yagobako baddayimooni omusanvu,
3 Joanna the wife of Herod’s household manager Chuza, Susanna, and many others. These women were ministering to them out of their own means.
ne Jowaana muka Kuza eyali omukulu w’olubiri lwa Kerode; ne Susaana, n’abalala bangi, abaatoolanga ku byabwe ne balabirira Yesu n’abayigirizwa be.
4 While a large crowd was gathering and people were coming to Jesus from town after town, He told them this parable:
Awo ekibiina kinene bwe kyali kikuŋŋaana, nga n’abantu abava mu buli kibuga bajja eri Yesu, Yesu n’abagerera olugero luno nti,
5 “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.
“Omulimi yagenda mu nnimiro ye okusiga ensigo. Bwe yatandika okusiga ensigo, ezimu ne zigwa ku mabbali g’ekkubo ne bazirinnyirira, n’ebinyonyi eby’omu bbanga ne bizirya.
6 Some fell on rocky ground, and when it came up, the seedlings withered because they had no moisture.
Ensigo endala zaagwa ku lwazi, bwe zaamera ne zikala kubanga tezaalina mazzi.
7 Other seed fell among thorns, which grew up with it and choked the seedlings.
Ensigo endala zaagwa mu maggwa, bwe zaamera n’amaggwa nago ne gakula ne gazizisa.
8 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.”
Naye ensigo endala n’azisiga mu ttaka eddungi, ne zikula ne zibala ebibala emirundi kikumi.” N’amaliriza ng’agamba nti, “Alina amatu okuwulira awulire.”
9 Then His disciples asked Him what this parable meant.
Abayigirizwa be ne bamubuuza amakulu g’olugero olwo.
10 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.’
N’abaddamu nti, “Mmwe muweereddwa omukisa okumanya ebyama by’obwakabaka bwa Katonda, naye abalala, njogera gye bali mu ngero, “‘bwe batunula baleme kulaba, bwe bawulira baleme kutegeera.’
11 Now this is the meaning of the parable: The seed is the word of God.
“Kale, amakulu g’olugero olwo ge gano: Ensigo ky’ekigambo kya Katonda.
12 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.
Ensigo ezaagwa ku mabbali g’ekkubo, be bawulira ekigambo, naye Setaani n’ajja n’akibaggyako mu mutima gwabwe, si kulwa nga bakkiriza ne balokolebwa.
13 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.
Ezaagwa ku lwazi be bawulira ne basanyukira ekigambo, kyokka ne kitaba na mmizi. Be bakkiriza, naye okugezesebwa bwe kujja ne bagwa.
14 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.
Ezaagwa mu maggwa, be bawulira ekigambo, naye okweraliikirira n’obugagga n’amasanyu g’omu bulamu ne bibazisa, ne bataleeta bibala bikuze bulungi.
15 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.
Naye ezaagwa ku ttaka eddungi be bantu abalungi era abeesigwa, era bakuuma ekigambo ku mitima ne babala ebibala n’obugumiikiriza.
16 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.
“Tewali muntu akoleeza ttaala ate nagisaanikirako akalobo oba n’agissa wansi w’ekitanda. Agiwanika waggulu ku kikondo, olwo lw’esobola okumulisiza abantu abayingira.
17 For there is nothing hidden that will not be disclosed, and nothing concealed that will not be made known and brought to light.
Kubanga tewali kintu na kimu ekyakwekebwa ekitalikwekulwa, era tewali na kimu ekitalimanyibwa mu lwatu.
18 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.”
Noolwekyo mwegendereze nga muwuliriza, kubanga oyo alina alyongerwako; naye oyo atalina, n’ekyo ky’alowooza nti alina kigenda kumuggyibwako.”
19 Then Jesus’ mother and brothers came to see Him, but they were unable to reach Him because of the crowd.
Awo nnyina ne baganda ba Yesu ne bajja okumulaba, naye ne batasobola kumutuukako olw’ekibiina ky’abantu ekinene.
20 He was told, “Your mother and brothers are standing outside, wanting to see You.”
Ne wabaawo amubuulira nti, “Nnyoko ne baganda bo obwedda bayimiridde wabweru, baagala kukulabako.”
21 But He replied, “My mother and brothers are those who hear the word of God and carry it out.”
Yesu n’addamu nti, “Mmange ne baganda bange be bano abawulira ekigambo kya Katonda ne bakigondera.”
22 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.
Lwali lumu Yesu n’alinnya mu lyato n’abayigirizwa be, n’abagamba nti, “Tuwunguke tulage emitala w’ennyanja.” Ne basimbula okugenda.
23 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.
Bwe baali baseeyeeya Yesu ne yeebaka. Awo omuyaga ogw’amaanyi ne gukunta ku nnyanja, n’eryato ne liyuuga nnyo, ne baba mu kabi kanene.
24 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.
Abayigirizwa ne bamuzuukusa, ne bagamba nti, “Mukama waffe, Mukama waffe, tusaanawo!” N’azuukuka n’aboggolera omuyaga n’amazzi agaali geefuukudde. Ne bikkakkana, ennyanja n’etteeka!
25 “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!”
N’alyoka abagamba nti, “Okukkiriza kwammwe kuluwa?” Ne batya, ne beewuunya nnyo, ne bagambagana nti, “Omuntu ono ye ani? Alagira omuyaga n’amazzi ne bimugondera!”
26 Then they sailed to the region of the Gerasenes, across the lake from Galilee.
Awo ne bagoba emitala w’eri mu nsi y’Abageresene eyolekedde Ggaliraaya.
27 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.
Awo Yesu bwe yava mu lyato omusajja eyaliko baddayimooni n’ajja okumusisinkana ng’ava mu kibuga. Omusajja oyo yali amaze ebbanga ddene nga tayambala ngoye, nga tasula na mu nju, wabula ng’asula mu ntaana.
28 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!”
Awo bwe yalaba Yesu n’awowoggana n’agwa wansi mu maaso ga Yesu, n’aleekaana nti, “Onjagaza ki, Yesu, Omwana wa Katonda Ali Waggulu Ennyo? Nkwegayiridde tombonyaabonya!”
29 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.
Kubanga Yesu yali alagidde omwoyo omubi guve ku musajja oyo. Emirundi mingi yalumbibwanga n’amaanyi mangi, ne bwe baamusibanga n’enjegere, n’akuumibwa mu masamba, yabikutulanga, ddayimooni n’amulaza mu ddungu.
30 “What is your name?” Jesus asked. “Legion,” he replied, because many demons had gone into him.
Awo Yesu n’abuuza omusajja nti, “Erinnya lyo ggwe ani?” Omusajja n’addamu nti, “Nze Ligyoni,” kubanga omusajja yaliko baddayimooni bangi.
Baddayimooni ne beegayirira Yesu aleme okubagobera mu bunnya obutakoma. (Abyssos g12)
32 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.
Waaliwo eggana ly’embizzi, awo ku lusozi, nga lirya, baddayimooni ne beegayirira Yesu abasindike mu mbizzi ezo. Yesu n’abakkiriza.
33 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.
Baddayimooni ne bava ku musajja ne bayingira mu mbizzi, amangwago eggana lyonna ne lifubutuka nga liserengeta olusozi, ne lyewanula ku bbangabanga, ne ligwa mu nnyanja, embizzi zonna ne zisaanawo.
34 When those tending the pigs saw what had happened, they ran off and reported this in the town and countryside.
Abalunzi b’embizzi ezo bwe baakiraba, ne badduka embiro ne bagenda, ne bategeeza ab’omu malundiro ne mu kibuga, ebintu byonna ebibaddewo.
35 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.
Ekibiina ky’abantu ne bagenda okulaba ebibaddewo ne bajja eri Yesu, ne balaba omusajja eyagobwako baddayimooni ng’atudde awo awali ebigere bya Yesu ng’ayambadde engoye era nga mulamu ddala! Ne batya nnyo.
36 Meanwhile, those who had seen it reported how the demon-possessed man had been healed.
Abo abaaliwo okusookera ddala ne bategeeza abalala ng’omusajja eyaliko ddayimooni bwe yawonyezebwa.
37 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.
Awo abantu bonna ab’ensi eyo ey’Abagerasene ne basaba Yesu abaviire, kubanga baali batidde nnyo. N’asaabala mu lyato n’avaayo.
38 The man whom the demons had left begged to go with Jesus. But He sent him away, saying,
Omusajja, eyagobwako baddayimooni n’amusaba agende naye, naye Yesu n’agaana.
39 “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.
N’agamba omusajja nti, “Ddayo ewammwe obategeeze Katonda by’akukoledde.” Omusajja n’agenda ng’ategeeza buli gwe yasanganga mu kibuga, Yesu bye yali amukoledde.
40 When Jesus returned, the crowd welcomed Him, for they had all been waiting for Him.
Yesu bwe yakomawo ekibiina ky’abantu ne bamwaniriza n’essanyu kubanga bonna baali bamulindirira.
41 Just then a synagogue leader named Jairus came and fell at Jesus’ feet. He begged Him to come to his house,
Mu kiseera ekyo ne wajjawo omusajja erinnya lye Yayiro, eyali omukulembeze w’ekkuŋŋaaniro, n’agwa ku bigere bya Yesu n’amwegayirira ajje mu maka ge,
42 because his only daughter, who was about twelve, was dying. As Jesus went with him, the crowds pressed around Him,
kubanga muwala we omu yekka gwe yalina, eyali aweza emyaka nga kkumi n’ebiri yali afa. Yesu n’agenda naye, naye ng’ekibiina kimunyigiriza.
43 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.
Mu kibiina ky’abantu ekyo mwalimu omukazi eyali amaze emyaka kkumi n’ebiri ng’alwadde ekikulukuto ky’omusaayi. Yali atambudde nnyo mu basawo era nga bamumazeeko ebintu bye byonna ng’abasasula, naye ne watabaawo asobola kumuwonya.
44 She came up behind Jesus and touched the fringe of His cloak, and immediately her bleeding stopped.
Omukazi ono n’asemberera Yesu ng’amuvaako emabega, n’akoma ku lukugiro lw’ekyambalo kya Yesu, ekikulukuto ky’omusaayi ne kiwona mu kaseera ako kennyini!
45 “Who touched Me?” Jesus asked. But they all denied it. “Master,” said Peter, “the people are crowding and pressing against You.”
Yesu n’abuuza nti, “Ani ankutteko?” Bonna ne beegaana, naye Peetero n’agamba nti, “Mukama waffe, ekibiina ky’abantu kinene abakwetoolodde era abantu bangi bakunyigiriza.”
46 But Jesus declared, “Someone touched Me, for I know that power has gone out from Me.”
Naye Yesu n’addamu nti, “Waliwo ankutteko kubanga mpulidde ng’amaanyi ganvaamu.”
47 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.
Awo omukazi bwe yategeera ng’avumbuddwa, n’ajja ng’akankana n’agwa awo mu maaso ga Yesu, n’annyonnyola mu maaso g’abantu bonna ensonga kyeyavudde amukwatako, era nti n’obulwadde bwe bwawoneddewo!
48 “Daughter,” said Jesus, “your faith has healed you. Go in peace.”
Yesu n’agamba omukazi nti, “Muwala wange, okukkiriza kwo kukuwonyezza. Genda mirembe.”
49 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.”
Awo Yesu bwe yali ng’akyayogera omuntu n’atuuka ng’ava mu maka g’omukulu w’ekkuŋŋaaniro, n’agamba Yayiro nti, “Muwala wo afudde! Omuyigiriza toyongera kumuteganya.”
50 But Jesus overheard them and said to Jairus, “Do not be afraid; just believe, and she will be healed.”
Naye Yesu bwe yakiwulira n’amugamba nti, “Totya! Kkiriza bukkiriza, ajja kuba mulamu.”
51 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.
Awo Yesu bwe yatuuka ku nnyumba ya Yayiro, n’atakkiriza bantu balala kuyingira naye mu nju wabula Peetero, ne Yokaana, ne Yakobo, ne kitaawe w’omwana, ne nnyina.
52 Meanwhile, everyone was weeping and mourning for her. But Jesus said, “Stop weeping; she is not dead but asleep.”
Mu kiseera ekyo abantu bonna baali bakaaba nga bakungubagira omwana oyo. Yesu n’abagamba nti, “Mulekeraawo okukaaba! Omuwala tafudde wabula yeebase bwebasi!”
53 And they laughed at Him, knowing that she was dead.
Ne bamusekerera nnyo, kubanga bonna baali bamanyi ng’omuwala afudde.
54 But Jesus took her by the hand and called out, “Child, get up!”
Naye Yesu n’akwata omuwala eyali afudde ku mukono, n’akoowoola ng’agamba nti, “Mwana wange, golokoka!”
55 Her spirit returned, and at once she got up. And He directed that she be given something to eat.
Amangwago n’aba mulamu, n’asituka n’ayimirira. Yesu n’abalagira bamuwe ekyokulya.
56 Her parents were astounded, but Jesus ordered them not to tell anyone what had happened.
Bazadde b’omuwala ne beewuunya, naye Yesu n’abakuutira obutabuulirako muntu yenna ebibaddewo.
