Matthew 19
1 And it came to pass when Jesus had ended these words, he departed from Galilee, and came into the coasts of Judea, beyond Jordan.
Awo Yesu bwe yamala okwogera ebigambo ebyo n’ava e Ggaliraaya n’ajja mu bitundu bya Buyudaaya okusukka emitala wa Yoludaani.
2 And great multitudes followed him: and he healed them there.
Ekibiina kinene ne bamugoberera era n’awonya abalwadde baabwe.
3 And there came to him the Pharisees tempting him, and saying: Is it lawful for a man to put away his wife for every cause?
Abafalisaayo ne bajja gy’ali bamugezese nga bagamba nti, “Kikkirizibwa omusajja okugoba mukazi we olw’ensonga n’emu?”
4 Who answering, said to them: Have ye not read, that he who made man from the beginning, Made them male and female? And he said:
Yesu n’abaddamu nti, “Temusomanga nti, ‘Okuva ku lubereberye Katonda yatonda omusajja n’omukazi,’
5 For this cause shall a man leave father and mother, and shall cleave to his wife, and they two shall be in one flesh.
era nti, ‘Omusajja anaalekanga kitaawe ne nnyina, ne yeegatta ne mukazi we. Nabo banaabanga omuntu omu,
6 Therefore now they are not two, but one flesh. What therefore God hath joined together, let no man put asunder.
nga tebakyali babiri naye omuntu omu.’ Noolwekyo Katonda be yagatta awamu, omuntu tabaawukanyanga.”
7 They say to him: Why then did Moses command to give a bill of divorce, and to put away?
Ne bamubuuza nti, “Kale lwaki Musa yalagira nti omusajja bw’abanga agoba mukazi we amuwenga ebbaluwa ey’okumugoba?”
8 He saith to them: Because Moses by reason of the hardness of your heart permitted you to put away your wives: but from the beginning it was not so.
Yesu n’abaddamu nti, “Olw’obukakanyavu bw’emitima gyammwe, Musa kyeyava abakkiriza okugoba bakazi bammwe, naye nga okuva olubereberye tekyali bwe kityo.
9 And I say to you, that whosoever shall put away his wife, except it be for fornication, and shall marry another, committeth adultery: and he that shall marry her that is put away, committeth adultery.
Era mbagamba nti omuntu yenna anaagobanga mukazi we okuggyako olw’obwenzi, n’amala awasa omulala, anaabanga ayenze, n’oyo anaawasanga oyo agobeddwa anaabanga ayenze.”
10 His disciples say unto him: If the case of a man with his wife be so, it is not expedient to marry.
Abayigirizwa ne bamugamba nti, “Obanga bwe biri bwe bityo, ekisingako obulungi bwe butawasiza ddala!”
11 Who said to them: All men take not this word, but they to whom it is given.
Yesu n’abaddamu nti, “Abantu bonna tebayinza kutegeera kigambo kino okuggyako abo Katonda b’akiwa.
12 For there are eunuchs, who were born so from their mother’s womb: and there are eunuchs, who were made so by men: and there are eunuchs, who have made themselves eunuchs for the kingdom of heaven. He that can take, let him take it.
Kubanga abamu bazaalibwa nga tebasobola kuwasa abalala balaayibwa bantu bannaabwe ate abalala bagaana okuwasa ne beewaayo okukola omulimu ogw’obwakabaka obw’omu ggulu. Buli asobola okutegeera kino akitegeere.”
13 Then were little children presented to him, that he should impose hands upon them and pray. And the disciples rebuked them.
Yesu ne bamuleetera abaana abato abasseeko emikono gye abawe n’omukisa. Naye abayigirizwa ne bajunga abaabaleeta.
14 But Jesus said to them: Suffer the little children, and forbid them not to come to me: for the kingdom of heaven is for such.
Naye Yesu n’agamba abayigirizwa be nti, “Mukkirize abaana abato bajje gye ndi so temubaziyiza, kubanga abafaanana ng’abo be bannannyini bwakabaka obw’omu ggulu.”
15 And when he had imposed hands upon them, he departed from thence.
N’abassaako emikono n’abawa omukisa n’alyoka avaayo.
16 And behold one came and said to him: Good master, what good shall I do that I may have life everlasting? (aiōnios g166)
Awo omuntu omu n’amusemberera n’amubuuza nti, “Omuyigiriza, nkole ki ekirungi okufuna obulamu obutaggwaawo?” (aiōnios g166)
17 Who said to him: Why asketh thou me concerning good? One is good, God. But if thou wilt enter into life, keep the commandments.
Yesu n’amuddamu nti, “Lwaki ombuuza ebikwata ku birungi? Omulungi ali omu, naye bw’obanga oyagala okuyingira mu bulamu, ggondera amateeka.”
18 He said to him: Which? And Jesus said: Thou shalt do no murder, Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not bear false witness.
N’amuddamu nti, “Ge galuwa?” Yesu n’amugamba nti, “‘Tottanga, toyendanga, tobbanga, towaayirizanga,
19 Honour thy father and thy mother: and, Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself.
ossangamu ekitiibwa kitaawo ne nnyoko era yagalanga muliraanwa wo nga bwe weeyagala wekka.’”
20 The young man saith to him: All these I have kept from my youth, what is yet wanting to me?
Omuvubuka oyo n’amuddamu nti, “Ebyo byonna nabikwata dda, ate kiki ekimpeebuuseeko?”
21 Jesus saith to him: If thou wilt be perfect, go sell what thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come follow me.
Yesu n’amugamba nti, “Obanga oyagala okuba omutuukirivu genda otunde ebibyo, ensimbi ozigabire abaavu, kale oliba n’obugagga mu ggulu, olyoke ojje ongoberere.”
22 And when the young man had heard this word, he went away sad: for he had great possessions.
Naye omuvubuka bwe yawulira ebyo n’agenda ng’anakuwadde kubanga yali mugagga.
23 Then Jesus said to his disciples: Amen, I say to you, that a rich man shall hardly enter into the kingdom of heaven.
Awo Yesu n’agamba abayigirizwa be nti, “Ddala ddala mbagamba nti, kizibu omugagga okuyingira mu bwakabaka obw’omu ggulu.
24 And again I say to you: It is easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of heaven.
Era mbategeeza nti kyangu eŋŋamira okuyita mu nnyindo y’empiso, okusinga omugagga okuyingira mu bwakabaka bwa Katonda!”
25 And when they had heard this, the disciples wondered very much, saying: Who then can be saved?
Ebigambo ebyo abayigirizwa be ne bibeewuunyisa nnyo, n’okugamba ne bagamba nti, “Kale ani ayinza okulokolebwa?”
26 And Jesus beholding, said to them: With men this is impossible: but with God all things are possible.
Yesu n’abatunuulira enkaliriza n’abagamba nti, “Eri abantu tekiyinzika. Naye Katonda, ayinza byonna.”
27 Then Peter answering, said to him: Behold we have left all things, and have followed thee: what therefore shall we have?
Awo Peetero n’abuuza Yesu nti, “Ffe twaleka byonna ne tukugoberera. Kale ffe tulifuna ki?”
28 And Jesus said to them: Amen, I say to you, that you, who have followed me, in the regeneration, when the Son of man shall sit on the seat of his majesty, you also shall sit on twelve seats judging the twelve tribes of Israel.
Yesu n’amuddamu nti, “Ddala ddala mbagamba nti, Omwana w’Omuntu bw’alituula ku ntebe ye ey’ekitiibwa mu nsi empya, nammwe abangoberera mulituula ku ntebe ekkumi n’ebbiri nga mulamula ebika bya Isirayiri ekkumi n’ebibiri.
29 And every one that hath left house, or brethren, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or lands for my name’s sake, shall receive an hundredfold, and shall possess life everlasting. (aiōnios g166)
Na buli muntu yenna eyaleka ennyumba, oba baganda be, oba bannyina, oba kitaawe oba nnyina, oba baana be, oba ttaka lye olw’erinnya lyange aliweebwa okwenkana emirundi kikumi, era alisikira obulamu obutaggwaawo. (aiōnios g166)
30 And many that are first, shall be last: and the last shall be first.
Bangi aboolubereberye, abaliba abooluvannyuma, n’ab’oluvannyuma ne baba aboolubereberye.”
