Luke 9
1 Then he called the Twelve together, and gave them power and authority over all demons, and to heal;
Awo olunaku lwali lumu Yesu n’ayita abayigirizwa be ekkumi n’ababiri bonna awamu, n’abawa obuyinza okugoba baddayimooni ku bantu n’okuwonya endwadde.
2 and sent them out to preach the kingdom of God, and heal the sick.
N’abawa obuyinza n’abatuma bagende bategeeze abantu ebigambo by’obwakabaka bwa Katonda era bawonye n’abalwadde.
3 And he said to them. "Take nothing for your journey, neither staff, nor bag, nor bread, nor money, and do not have two tunics.
N’abalagira nti, “Temwetwalira kintu kyonna nga mugenda, wadde omuggo, oba ensawo, oba emmere, wadde ffeeza wadde essaati ebbiri.
4 "Into whatever house you enter, there stay, and thence depart.
Na buli nnyumba mwe muyingiranga, mubeerenga omwo, era mwe muba muvanga.
5 "If any one will not receive you, shake off the dust from your feet as you leave this town, as a testimony against them."
Bwe muyingiranga mu kibuga, abantu baamu ne batabaaniriza, mubaviirenga, era bwe mubanga mufuluma mu kibuga ekyo mukunkumulanga enfuufu ku bigere byammwe, ebe omujulirwa eri bo.”
6 So they went forth, and walked from village to village, preaching the gospel and healing everywhere.
Ne bagenda nga bava mu kibuga ekimu nga badda mu kirala, nga babuulira Enjiri buli wamu era nga bawonya.
7 Now Herod, the Tetrarch, heard of all that was happening; and he was perplexed because of its being said by someone that Johnwas risen from the dead;
Awo Kerode eyali afuga Ggaliraaya bwe yawulira ebintu ebyo byonna, n’asoberwa, kubanga abantu abamu baali bagamba nti, “Yokaana azuukidde mu bafu,”
8 and by some that Elijah had appeared; and by others that one of the ancient prophets was risen again.
n’abalala nti, “Eriya yali alabise,” n’abalala nti, “Omu ku bannabbi ab’edda azuukidde mu bafu.”
9 So Herod said, "I beheaded John, but who is this of whom I am hearing such reports," And he kept seeking to see him.
Naye Kerode ne yeebuuza nti, “Yokaana namutemako omutwe; naye ate kale ono ye ani gwe mpulirako ebigambo bino byonna?” N’ayagala okulaba Yesu.
10 On their return the apostles told him what they had done. and he took them and withdrew in private to a town called Bethsaida.
Awo abatume bwe baakomawo ne bategeeza Yesu bye baakola. Yesu n’abatwala mu kyama ne bagenda bokka mu kibuga ekiyitibwa Besusayida.
11 But when the crowd learned this they followed him. He received them kindly and spoke to them concerning the kingdom of God, and healed those who needed restored to good health.
Naye ebibiina bwe baakitegeera ne kimugoberera. Yesu n’abaaniriza, n’abayigiriza ebigambo ebikwata ku bwakabaka bwa Katonda, n’abaali abalwadde n’abawonya.
12 But now the day began to decline, and the twelve came to him and said. "Send away the crowd so that they may go into the villages and surrounding the country to lodge and buy provisions; for here we are on a solitary place."
Obudde bwe bwawungeera abayigirizwa ekkumi n’ababiri ne bajja gy’ali ne bamugamba nti, “Abantu bagambe bagende mu bibuga ebyetoolodde wano ne mu byalo beefunire we banaafuna ku mmere n’okusula, kubanga wano tuli mu ttale jjereere.”
13 "Do you yourselves give them food," he answered. "We have nothing," they replied "Except five loaves, and a couple fish, unless you mean for us to go and buy provisions for all the crowd."
Yesu n’abaddamu nti, “Mmwe mubawe ekyokulya!” Abayigirizwa be ne bamuddamu nti, “Wano tulinawo emigaati etaano gyokka n’ebyennyanja bibiri, mpozi nga tugenda tugulire abantu bano bonna emmere.”
14 (For there were about five thousand men.) "Make them sit down in table-companies, of about fifty each," he said to his disciples.
Waaliwo abasajja ng’enkumi ttaano. Naye Yesu n’agamba abayigirizwa be nti, “Mutuuze abantu mu bibiina by’abantu ng’amakumi ataano buli kimu.”
15 This they did, and made them all sit down.
Abayigirizwa ne bakola bwe batyo, bonna ne batuula.
16 Then he took the five loaves and the two fish, and looking up in heaven, he blessed them, broke them in pieces, and began to giving to his disciples to apportion among the crowd.
Awo Yesu n’addira emigaati etaano n’ebyennyanja ebibiri n’atunula eri eggulu, ne yeebaza, n’amenyaamenya emigaati n’ebyennyanja, n’awa abayigirizwa be bagabule abantu.
17 So they ate and were filled, all of them. And there was picked up that which remained over to them, of broken pieces, twelve basketfuls.
Bonna ne balya ne bakkuta, era obutundutundu obwalema bwe bwakuŋŋaanyizibwa ne bujjuza ebisero kkumi na bibiri.
18 Now it happened that while he was praying by himself, the disciples were with him, and he asked them a question. "Who do the crowd think I am?"
Lwali lumu Yesu bwe yali ng’asaba yekka kyokka nga n’abayigirizwa be bali awo, n’ababuuza nti, “Ebibiina bimpita ani?”
19 "Johnthe Baptist," they answered, "But others say Elijah, and others that one of the ancient prophets is risen again."
Ne baddamu nti, “Abamu bagamba nti Yokaana Omubatiza, abalala nti Eriya, ate nga waliwo abagamba nti omu ku bannabbi ab’edda y’azuukidde.”
20 Then he said to them, "But who do you say I am? Then Peter answered saying, "The Christ of God.’
Yesu kwe kubabuuza nti, “Naye mmwe mumpita ani?” Peetero n’addamu nti, “Ggwe Kristo wa Katonda.”
21 Then he strictly forbade them to tell this to any one;
Awo Yesu n’abakuutira, ng’abalagira obutakitegeezaako muntu yenna,
22 and he said, "The Son of man must suffer much, and be restricted by the elders and high priests and scribes and be put to death, and on the third day be raised again."
n’abategeeza nti, “Kigwanidde, Omwana w’Omuntu, okubonaabona ennyo, n’okugaanibwa abakulembeze b’Abayudaaya, ne bakabona abakulu, n’abannyonnyozi b’amateeka, n’okuttibwa, naye ku lunaku olwokusatu okuzuukizibwa!”
23 And he said to all. "If any man wills to follow me, Let him renounce self and take up his cross daily and follow me.
Era bonna n’abagamba nti, “Omuntu yenna ayagala okungoberera asaana yeefiirize yekka yeetikke omusaalaba gwe buli lunaku, angoberere!
24 "For whoever wills to save his life shall lose it; and whoever loses his life for my sake shall save it.
Kubanga buli ayagala okulokola obulamu bwe, alibufiirwa. Na buli alifiirwa obulamu bwe ku lwange alibulokola.
25 "For what shall it profit a man if he shall gain the whole world and lose or forfeit himself?
Kubanga omuntu kirimugasa ki okulya ensi yonna, naye n’afiirwa obulamu bwe?
26 "For whoever is ashamed of me and of my teachings, of him shall the Son of man be ashamed when he comes in his own and in his Father’s glory, and in that of the holy angels.
Buli alinkwatirwa ensonyi, nze n’ebigambo byange, n’Omwana w’Omuntu, alimukwatirwa ensonyi, bw’alijja mu kitiibwa kye ne mu kya Kitaawe ne mu kya bamalayika abatukuvu.
27 "But I tell you truly there are some of those standing here who will not taste death till they see the kingdom of God."
“Naye ddala ddala mbagamba nti abamu ku abo abayimiridde wano waliwo abatalirega ku kufa okutuusa nga bamaze okulaba obwakabaka bwa Katonda.”
28 About eight days after this it happened that Jesus took Peter, James, and John, and went up on the mountain to pray.
Awo nga wayiseewo ng’ennaku munaana, Yesu n’atwala Peetero ne Yokaana ne Yakobo ne bambuka ku lusozi okusaba.
29 And as he was praying the appearances of his countenance became different, and his clothing became white and dazzling.
Bwe yali ng’asaba endabika y’amaaso ge n’ekyusibwa, ebyambalo bye ne byeruka ne bitukula nnyo era ne byakaayakana.
30 And suddenly there were two men talking with him, who were Moses and Elijah.
Awo abantu babiri ne balabika nga banyumya ne Yesu, omu yali Musa n’omulala Eriya,
31 These appeared in glory and talked about his departure which he was about to accomplish at Jerusalem.
abaali bamasamasa mu kitiibwa kyabwe nga boogera ku kufa kwa Yesu, kwe yali agenda okutuukiriza mu Yerusaalemi.
32 Now Peter and those who were with him were heavy with sleep; but when they were fully awake they saw his glory, and the two men were standing beside him.
Peetero ne banne otulo twali tubakutte era nga beebase, Bwe baazuukuka ne balaba ekitiibwa kya Yesu n’abantu ababiri abaali bayimiridde naye.
33 And when they were preparing to depart from him Peter said to Jesus. "Master, it is good for us to be here; and let us make three tents, one for you, one for Moses, and one for Elijah" - not knowing what he was saying.
Awo Musa ne Eriya bwe baali bagenda, Peetero nga tamanyi ne kyayogera, n’agamba nti, “Mukama wange kirungi ffe okubeera wano. Ka tuzimbe wano ensiisira ssatu, emu yiyo, endala ya Musa n’endala ya Eriya!”
34 And while he was saying this, there came a cloud and began to overshadow them; and they were awestruck as they entered into the cloud.
Naye yali akyayogera ebyo ekire ne kibabikka, abayigirizwa ne bajjula okutya nga kibasaanikidde.
35 And a voice came out of the cloud, saying. "This is my Son, my chosen one; listen to him."
Eddoboozi ne liva mu kire ne ligamba nti, “Ono ye Mwana wange, gwe nneeroboza, mumuwulirize!”
36 When the voice ceased Jesus was found alone. And they held their peace, and told no one at that time about what they had seen.
Eddoboozi bwe lyasiriikirira, Yesu n’asigalawo yekka. Abayigirizwa abo bye baalaba ne bye baawulira ne babikuuma mu mitima gyabwe, ne batabibuulirako muntu yenna mu kiseera ekyo.
37 It happened the next day, when they were come down from the mountain, that a large crowd came to meet him;
Awo enkeera bwe baakomawo nga bava ku lusozi, ekibiina ekinene ne kijja okusisinkana Yesu.
38 and a man called out of the crowd saying. "Teacher, I beg you to look upon my son; for he is my only boy,
Omusajja eyali mu kibiina n’ayogerera waggulu ng’agamba nti, “Omuyigiriza, nkwegayiridde tunula ku mutabani wange ono kubanga yekka gwe nnina.
39 "and behold a spirit seizes hold of him, and rudely he shouts out, It convulses him till he foams; indeed it will hardly leave off bruising him sorely.
Kubanga ddayimooni buli bbanga amukwata n’amuwowogganya, era n’amukankanya n’abimba ejjovu n’amusuula eri era tayagala kumuleka, amumaliramu ddala amaanyi.
40 "I begged your disciples to cast it out, but they could not."
Neegayiridde abayigirizwa bo bamumugobeko, naye ne batasobola.”
41 "O faithless and perverse generation," said Jesus, "how long shall I be with you and bear with you? Bring your son to me."
Awo Yesu n’addamu nti, “Mmwe omulembe ogutakkiriza era ogwakyama, ndibeera nammwe kutuusa ddi? Era ndibagumiikiriza kutuusa ddi? Leeta wano omwana wo.”
42 But while he was yet coming the demon dashed him down, and cruelly convulsed him. Then Jesus rebuked the unclean spirit, and cured the boy, and gave him back to his father.
Omulenzi bwe yali ajja eri Yesu dayimooni n’amusuula wansi n’amukankanya nnyo. Yesu n’aboggolera omwoyo omubi n’awonya omwana, n’amuddiza kitaawe.
43 And they were all awestruck at the mighty power of God. But while everyone was marveling at what he was doing, he said to his disciples.
Abantu bonna ne beewuunya obuyinza bwa Katonda. Awo buli muntu bwe yali akyewuunya eby’ekitalo ebyo Yesu bye yali akola, n’agamba abayigirizwa be nti,
44 "Let these words sink into your ears; for the son of man is about to be betrayed into the hands of men."
“Muwulirize nnyo kye ŋŋenda okubagamba. Omwana w’Omuntu, agenda kuliibwamu olukwe.”
45 But they did not understand this saying; it was hidden from them so that they perceived it not, and they were sore afraid to ask him about his saying.
Naye abayigirizwa tebaategeera ky’agambye n’amakulu gaakyo. Kubanga kyali kibakwekebbwa, baleme okutegeera ate nga batya okukimubuuza.
46 Now there arose a dispute among them as to which one of them was the greatest.
Awo empaka ne zisituka mu bayigirizwa ba Yesu, nga bawakanira aliba omukulu mu bo.
47 And Jesus who knew the dispute that was in their hearts, took a young child, and placed him by his side;
Naye Yesu bwe yategeera ebirowoozo byabwe n’addira omwana omuto n’amuyimiriza w’ali.
48 then he said to them. "Whoever shall receive this little child in my name receives me; and whoever shall receive me receives him that sent me. For it is the lowliest among you all who is great."
N’abagamba nti, “Buli muntu asembeza omwana ono omuto mu linnya lyange ng’asembezezza Nze, na buli ansembeza aba asembezezza oyo eyantuma. Oyo asembayo okuba owa wansi mu mmwe, ye mukulu okubasinga.”
49 "Master," said John, "we saw a man who was casting out demons in your name, and we forbade him, because he was not following us."
Awo Yokaana n’agamba Yesu nti, “Mukama waffe, twalaba omuntu ng’agoba baddayimooni mu linnya lyo ne tugezaako okumuziyiza kubanga tayita naffe.”
50 But Jesus said, "Forbid him not, for he who is not against you is for you."
Naye Yesu n’amuddamu nti, “Temumuziyizanga kubanga oyo atalwana nammwe abeera ku ludda lwammwe.”
51 When now when the time drew near for him to be received up, he stedfastly set his face to go to Jerusalem,
Awo ekiseera eky’okulinnya kwe mu ggulu bwe kyali kisembedde, n’amalirira okugenda e Yerusaalemi.
52 and sent messengers before him. These went and entered into a Samaritan village to make ready for him.
N’atuma ababaka mu maaso ne balaga mu kibuga ky’Abasamaliya okumutegekera.
53 But they did not receive him because his face was set to go to Jerusalem.
Naye abantu b’eyo ne batamwaniriza, kubanga yali amaliridde okulaga mu Yerusaalemi.
54 And when his disciples, Jamesand John, saw this they said, "Lord, are you willing for us to bid fire come down from heaven and destroy them?" As Elijah did.
Abayigirizwa Yakobo ne Yokaana bwe baakiraba ne babuuza Yesu nti, “Mukama waffe, tuyite omuliro okuva mu ggulu gubazikirize?”
55 But he turned and rebuked them and said,
Naye Yesu n’akyuka n’abanenya.
56 "You know not what kind of spirit you share, for the Son of man came not to destroy men’s lives, but to save them." And they went to another village.
Ne bagenda mu kabuga akalala.
57 As they were going on their way, a man came to him and said, "I will follow wherever you go."
Awo bwe baali bali mu kkubo omu ku bo n’amugamba nti, “Nnaakugobereranga wonna w’onoogendanga.”
58 "The foxes have their holes," Jesus answered, "and the wild birds have their nest, but the Son of man has not where to lay his head."
Yesu n’amugamba nti, “Ebibe birina obunnya bwabyo mwe bisula, n’ennyonyi zirina ebisu, naye Omwana w’Omuntu, talina kifo kya kuwumulizaamu mutwe gwe.”
59 To another he said, "Follow me!" But he replied, "Permit me first to go and bury my father."
N’agamba omusajja omulala nti, “Ngoberera.” Omusajja n’addamu nti, “Mukama wange, nzikiriza mmale okugenda okuziika kitange.”
60 "Leave the dead to bury their own dead," said Jesus to him, "go you and announce, far and wide the kingdom of God."
Yesu n’amugamba nti, “Leka abafu baziike abafu baabwe, naye ggwe genda olangirire obwakabaka bwa Katonda.”
61 And another man also said to him. "I will follow you, Lord; but first permit me to bid farewell to those who are in my house."
N’omulala n’agamba Yesu nti, “Nnaakugobereranga Mukama wange. Naye sooka ondeke mmale okusiibula ab’omu maka gange.”
62 But Jesus answered him, "No man who puts his hand to the plow and then looks back, is fit for the kingdom of God."
Naye Yesu n’amuddamu nti, “Omuntu yenna akwata ekyuma ekirima mu ngalo ze ate n’atunula emabega, tasaanira bwakabaka bwa Katonda.”
