Matthew 13
1 On that day went Jesus out of the house, and sat by the sea side.
Ku lunaku olwo Yesu n’afuluma mu nnyumba n’agenda n’atuula ku lubalama lw’ennyanja.
2 And there were gathered unto him great multitudes, so that he entered into a boat, and sat; and all the multitude stood on the beach.
Ekibiina kinene ne kimukuŋŋaanirako. Kwe kuyingira mu lyato n’atuula omwo abantu bonna ne bayimirira ku lubalama.
3 And he spake to them many things in parables, saying, Behold, the sower went forth to sow;
N’ababuulira ebintu bingi mu ngero ng’agamba nti, “Omulimi yali asiga ensigo mu nnimiro ye.
4 and as he sowed, some [seeds] fell by the way side, and the birds came and devoured them:
Bwe yagenda ng’amansa ensigo, ezimu ne zigwa ku mabbali g’ekkubo, ennyonyi ne zijja ne zizirya.
5 and others fell upon the rocky places, where they had not much earth: and straightway they sprang up, because they had no deepness of earth:
Endala ne zigwa ku lwazi okutali ttaka lingi era ne zimera mangu kubanga ettaka teryali ggwanvu.
6 and when the sun was risen, they were scorched; and because they had no root, they withered away.
Naye omusana bwe gwayaka ne ziwotoka kubanga emirandira gyazo gyali kumpi.
7 And others fell upon the thorns; and the thorns grew up, and choked them:
Endala ne zigwa mu maggwa, bwe zaamera amaggwa nago ne gakula ne gazisinga amaanyi, obulimi obwali bwakamera ne bukala.
8 and others fell upon the good ground, and yielded fruit, some a hundredfold, some sixty, some thirty.
Endala ne zigwa ku ttaka eddungi, ne zimera ne zibala bulungi, ne zivaamu emirundi amakumi asatu, n’endala emirundi nkaaga n’endala emirundi kikumi.
9 He that hath ears, let him hear.
Alina amatu agawulira, awulire.”
10 And the disciples came, and said unto him, Why speakest thou unto them in parables?
Abayigirizwa be ne bamusemberera ne bamubuuza nti, “Lwaki oyogera nabo mu ngero?”
11 And he answered and said unto them, Unto you it is given to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it is not given.
N’abaddamu nti, “Mmwe mulina omukisa kubanga mwaweebwa okutegeera ebyama eby’obwakabaka obw’omu ggulu, naye bo tebaakiweebwa.
12 For whosoever hath, to him shall be given, and he shall have abundance: but whosoever hath not, from him shall be taken away even that which he hath.
Kubanga buli alina alyongerwako abeerere ddala na bingi, naye oyo atalina aliggyibwako n’ako akatono k’alina.
13 Therefore speak I to them in parables; because seeing they see not, and hearing they hear not, neither do they understand.
Kyenva njigiriza mu ngero: “Abalaba baleme okulaba, n’abawulira baleme okuwulira wadde okutegeera.
14 And unto them is fulfilled the prophecy of Isaiah, which saith, By hearing ye shall hear, and shall in no wise understand; And seeing ye shall see, and shall in no wise perceive:
Kino kituukiriza nnabbi Isaaya kye yagamba nti, “‘Muliwulira naye temulitegeera n’okulaba muliraba naye temulimanya.
15 For this people’s heart is waxed gross, And their ears are dull of hearing, And their eyes they have closed; Lest haply they should perceive with their eyes, And hear with their ears, And understand with their heart, And should turn again, And I should heal them.
Kubanga omutima gw’abantu bano gwesibye, n’amatu gaabwe tegawulira bulungi. N’amaaso gaabwe gazibiridde baleme okulaba n’amaaso wadde okuwulira n’amatu, wadde omutima gwabwe okutegeera, ne bakyuka ne mbawonya.’
16 But blessed are your eyes, for they see; and your ears, for they hear.
Naye amaaso gammwe galina omukisa, kubanga galaba, n’amatu gammwe kubanga gawulira.
17 For verily I say unto you, that many prophets and righteous men desired to see the things which ye see, and saw them not; and to hear the things which ye hear, and heard them not.
Ddala ddala mbagamba nti, Waaliwo bannabbi bangi, n’abatuukirivu bangi abeegombanga okulaba ku bino bye mulaba, n’okuwulira bye muwulira kyokka ne batafuna mukisa ogwo.
18 Hear then ye the parable of the sower.
“Noolwekyo muwulirize olugero lw’omulimi eyasiga ensigo.
19 When any one heareth the word of the kingdom, and understandeth it not, [then] cometh the evil [one], and snatcheth away that which hath been sown in his heart. This is he that was sown by the way side.
Ensigo eyagwa ku mabbali g’ekkubo efaanana ng’omuntu awulira ekigambo kya Katonda n’atakitegeera era omulabe Setaani n’ajja n’akimusikulako okuva ku mutima.
20 And he that was sown upon the rocky places, this is he that heareth the word, and straightway with joy receiveth it;
Ensigo eyagwa ku byaziyazi efaanana ng’omuntu awulira ekigambo, amangwago n’akyaniriza n’essanyu,
21 yet hath he not root in himself, but endureth for a while; and when tribulation or persecution ariseth because of the word, straightway he stumbleth.
naye olw’okuba nga talina mmizi mu ye, wa kaseera buseera, ennaku n’okuyigganyizibwa bwe bijja olw’ekigambo, amangwago n’agwa.
22 And he that was sown among the thorns, this is he that heareth the word; and the care of the world, and the deceitfulness of riches, choke the word, and he becometh unfruitful. (aiōn g165)
N’ensigo eyagwa mu maggwa efaanana ng’omuntu awulira ekigambo naye okweraliikirira kw’ebintu by’ensi n’obugagga obutaliimu ne bibuutikira ekigambo ne kitabala bibala. (aiōn g165)
23 And he that was sown upon the good ground, this is he that heareth the word, and understandeth it; who verily beareth fruit, and bringeth forth, some a hundredfold, some sixty, some thirty.
Naye ensigo eyagwa ku ttaka eddungi efaanana ng’omuntu awulira ekigambo n’akitegeera, n’abalira ddala ebibala, n’abala ebibala amakumi asatu, oba nkaaga oba kikumi.”
24 Another parable set he before them, saying, The kingdom of heaven is likened unto a man that sowed good seed in his field:
N’abagerera olugero olulala nti, “Obwakabaka obw’omu ggulu bufaanana n’omuntu eyasiga ensigo ennungi mu nnimiro ye,
25 but while men slept, his enemy came and sowed tares also among the wheat, and went away.
naye ekiro nga yeebase abasajja abalabe ne bajja ne basiga omuddo wakati mu ŋŋaano ye ne bagenda.
26 But when the blade sprang up, and brought forth fruit, then appeared the tares also.
Naye eŋŋaano ennungi bwe yamera, n’omuddo ne gumerera wamu nayo.
27 And the servants of the householder came and said unto him, Sir, didst thou not sow good seed in thy field? whence then hath it tares?
“Naye abaddu b’omwami w’ennyumba bwe baamusemberera ne bamugamba nti, ‘Mukama waffe, tewasiga nsigo nnungi mu nnimiro yo? Naye ate omuddo guvudde wa?’
28 And he said unto them, An enemy hath done this. And the servants say unto him, Wilt thou then that we go and gather them up?
“Ye n’abaddamu nti, ‘Omulabe ye yakola ekyo.’ Abaddu kyebaava bamubuuza nti, ‘Tugende tugukoolemu?’
29 But he saith, Nay; lest haply while ye gather up the tares, ye root up the wheat with them.
“N’abaddamu nti, ‘Nedda, kubanga bwe munaaba mukuulamu omuddo mujja kukuuliramu n’eŋŋaano.
30 Let both grow together until the harvest: and in the time of the harvest I will say to the reapers, Gather up first the tares, and bind them in bundles to burn them: but gather the wheat into my barn.
Kale mubireke byonna bikulire wamu, okukungula bwe kulituuka ne ndyoka ndagira abakunguzi basooke bakuŋŋaanye omuddo bagusibeko n’oluvannyuma bagwokye, naye yo eŋŋaano bagikuŋŋaanyize mu tterekero lyange.’”
31 Another parable set he before them, saying, The kingdom of heaven is like unto a grain of mustard seed, which a man took, and sowed in his field:
N’abagerera olugero olulala ng’agamba nti, “Obwakabaka obw’omu ggulu bufaanana ng’akaweke ka kaladaali, omusajja ke yasiga mu nnimiro.
32 which indeed is less than all seeds; but when it is grown, it is greater than the herbs, and becometh a tree, so that the birds of the heaven come and lodge in the branches thereof.
Kaladaali kaweke katono nnyo okusinga ensigo endala zonna. Naye bwe kasimbibwa ne kakula kavaamu omuti omunene ennyo, n’ennyonyi ez’omu bbanga ne zijja ne zibeera ku matabi gaagwo.”
33 Another parable spake he unto them; The kingdom of heaven is like unto leaven, which a woman took, and hid in three measures of meal, till it was all leavened.
N’abongerayo olugero olulala nti, “Obwakabaka obw’omu ggulu buyinza okugeraageranyizibwa n’ekizimbulukusa omukazi kye yakweka mu buwunga bw’eŋŋaano, n’apima ebigero bisatu okutuusa lwe bwazimbulukuka bwonna.”
34 All these things spake Jesus in parables unto the multitudes; and without a parable spake he nothing unto them:
Bino byonna Yesu yabyogerera mu ngero eri ebibiina era teyayogera gye bali awatali ngero.
35 that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet, saying, I will open my mouth in parables; I will utter things hidden from the foundation of the world.
Ekyayogerwa nnabbi ne kiryoka kituukirira nti, “Ndyogerera mu ngero, njogere ebintu ebyakwekebwa okuva ku kutondebwa kw’ensi.”
36 Then he left the multitudes, and went into the house: and his disciples came unto him, saying, Explain unto us the parable of the tares of the field.
Awo bwe yamala okusiibula ekibiina n’ayingira mu nnyumba, abayigirizwa be ne bamusemberera ne bamusaba abannyonnyole amakulu g’olugero lw’omuddo ogwali mu nnimiro.
37 And he answered and said, He that soweth the good seed is the Son of man;
N’abannyonnyola ng’agamba nti, “Omwana w’Omuntu ye yasiga ensigo ennungi.
38 and the field is the world; and the good seed, these are the sons of the kingdom; and the tares are the sons of the evil [one];
Ennimiro y’ensi, n’ensigo ennungi be baana b’obwakabaka, naye omuddo be baana ba Setaani.
39 and the enemy that sowed them is the devil: and the harvest is the end of the world; and the reapers are angels. (aiōn g165)
Omulabe eyasiga ensigo ez’omuddo ye Setaani, amakungula y’enkomerero y’ensi n’abakunguzi be bamalayika. (aiōn g165)
40 As therefore the tares are gathered up and burned with fire; so shall it be in the end of the world. (aiōn g165)
“Noolwekyo ng’omuddo bwe gwakuŋŋaanyizibwa ne gwokebwa mu muliro, bwe kityo bwe kiriba ku nkomerero y’ensi. (aiōn g165)
41 The Son of man shall send forth his angels, and they shall gather out of his kingdom all things that cause stumbling, and them that do iniquity,
Omwana w’Omuntu alituma bamalayika be mu bwakabaka bakuŋŋaanye ebintu byonna ebyesittaza, n’abajeemu,
42 and shall cast them into the furnace of fire: there shall be the weeping and gnashing of teeth.
babasuule mu nkoomi y’omuliro. Omwo mwe muliba okukaaba n’okuluma obujiji.
43 Then shall the righteous shine forth as the sun in the kingdom of their Father. He that hath ears, let him hear.
Naye abatuukirivu balyakaayakana ng’enjuba mu bwakabaka bwa Kitaabwe. Alina amatu agawulira, awulire.
44 The kingdom of heaven is like unto a treasure hidden in the field; which a man found, and hid; and in his joy he goeth and selleth all that he hath, and buyeth that field.
“Obwakabaka obw’omu ggulu bufaanana n’ekyobugagga ekyakwekebwamu nnimiro omuntu omu bwe yakigwikiriza. Olw’essanyu lye yafuna n’agenda n’atunda bye yalina byonna, n’agula ennimiro eyo.
45 Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto a man that is a merchant seeking goodly pearls:
“Ate era obwakabaka obw’omu ggulu bufaanana ng’omusuubuzi w’amayinja ag’omuwendo omungi eyali anoonya amayinja ag’omuwendo,
46 and having found one pearl of great price, he went and sold all that he had, and bought it.
bwe yazuula ejjinja erimu ery’omuwendo n’agenda n’atunda bye yalina byonna n’aligula.
47 Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto a net, that was cast into the sea, and gathered of every kind:
“Era obwakabaka obw’omu ggulu bufaanana ng’akatimba akategebwa mu nnyanja ne kakwasa ebyennyanja ebya buli ngeri,
48 which, when it was filled, they drew up on the beach; and they sat down, and gathered the good into vessels, but the bad they cast away.
akatimba bwe kajjula ne bakawalulira ku lubalama ne balondamu ebirungi nga babikuŋŋaanyiza mu bisero, ebibi nga babisuula.
49 So shall it be in the end of the world: the angels shall come forth, and sever the wicked from among the righteous, (aiōn g165)
Bwe kiriba bwe kityo ne ku nkomerero y’ensi, bamalayika balijja ne baawulamu abantu abatuukirivu n’ababi. (aiōn g165)
50 and shall cast them into the furnace of fire: there shall be the weeping and gnashing of teeth.
Ababi balibasuula mu nkoomi y’omuliro eriba okukaaba n’okuluma obujiji.”
51 Have ye understood all these things? They say unto him, Yea.
Yesu n’ababuuza nti, “Ebintu bino byonna mubitegedde?” Ne bamuddamu nti, “Weewaawo.”
52 And he said unto them, Therefore every scribe who hath been made a disciple to the kingdom of heaven is like unto a man that is a householder, which bringeth forth out of his treasure things new and old.
Kyeyava abagamba nti, “Noolwekyo omuwandiisi eyayiga obulungi amateeka g’Ekiyudaaya ate n’afuuka omuyigiriza w’obwakabaka obw’omu ggulu, ali ng’omusajja nnyini nnyumba, aggyayo mu tterekero lye ebipya n’ebikadde.”
53 And it came to pass, when Jesus had finished these parables, he departed thence.
Awo Yesu bwe yamala okugera engero ezo n’avaayo,
54 And coming into his own country he taught them in their synagogue, insomuch that they were astonished, and said, Whence hath this man this wisdom, and these mighty works?
n’addayo mu kibuga ky’ewaabwe n’ayigiriza mu kuŋŋaaniro lyabwe. N’abeewuunyisa ne bagamba nti, “Yaggya wa amagezi n’ebyamagero ebyo?”
55 Is not this the carpenter’s son? is not his mother called Mary? and his brethren, James, and Joseph, and Simon, and Judas?
Ne beebuuza nti, “Ono si ye mutabani w’omubazzi? Nnyina ye Maliyamu ne baganda be ba Yakobo, ne Yusufu, ne Simooni ne Yuda.
56 And his sisters, are they not all with us? Whence then hath this man all these things?
Ne bannyina babeera kuno. Kale, ebyo byonna yabiggya wa?”
57 And they were offended in him. But Jesus said unto them, A prophet is not without honour, save in his own country, and in his own house.
Ne bamunyiigira nga balowooza nti abeeragirako. Naye Yesu n’abagamba nti, “Nnabbi aweebwa ekitiibwa mu buli kifo, okuggyako mu kitundu ky’ewaabwe ne mu nnyumba y’ewaabwe.”
58 And he did not many mighty works there because of their unbelief.
Era yakolerayo ebyamagero bitono olw’obutakkiriza bwabwe.
