Luke 8
1 Soon after that, Jesus went, along with his twelve [disciples], through various cities and villages. As they went, he was telling people the good message about how God wants (to have complete control/to rule) [MET] [over their lives].
Yahumila unsikhi usupi u Yisu akhava nu lugendo mu miji ni mijiji fingi alikukumbilila nu khuvavula inongwa inonu icha ludeva lwa Nguluve na vala kumi na mbili vakhaluta paninie nu mwene,
2 Some women from whom he had expelled evil spirits and healed of diseases also [went with him]. These included Mary, the woman from Magdala [village], from whom [he had expelled] seven evil spirits;
navavange avadala uvuva khaponile ukhuhuma kumepo imbivi nu mutamu ulipapingi. Vakhale vi Mariamu uviali kwilangiwa magadalena uvi va khahumiche imepo saba.
3 Joanna, the wife of Chuza, who was one of [King] Herod [Antipas’] officials; Susanna; and many others. They were providing some of their own funds [to help Jesus and his disciples].
UYoana udala va kuza nu numbaha va Herode, Susana, na vadala avange vingi, uvuvakhahumicha ifyuma fyavene.
4 A large crowd of people came to Jesus from many towns. Then he told them this parable:
Eikhipungha khya vanu vavile valundamine papanie ukhuhuma mwonimwoni mbunchenge, vu ava anchovangha navo mfihwananincho. Pa akhanchova eikheihwani akhata.
5 “A man went out [to his field] to sow [some] seeds. As he was scattering them over the soil, some [of the seeds] fell on the path. Then [people] walked on those seeds, and birds ate them.
“alekhyo umunu uvei avyalyangha eimbiyu, avile ivyala, imbiyu inchinghe ncha nghwinchangha mundukanji munjeila pu avanu vakanya na malunde ifidenghe fya khukyanya fikhalya imbiyu incho.
6 Some [of the seeds] fell on rock [on which there was a thin layer of] moist [soil]. As soon as the seeds grew, the plants dried up because they had no moisture.
Inchinge imbiyu ncha nghwile pang'ang'a unghwa palunalawe ncha vile nchimelile vuuchi kula punchilikhunialalukha ulwakhuva sapale na magasi.
7 Some [of the seeds] fell on [ground that contained roots of] thorny [weeds]. The thorny weeds grew [together] with the young plants, and [they] crowded out [those plants].
Imbiyu inchinge nchikhanghwamumitwinyo pungheileinkula pupanie punchikheivunghuteila.
8 But some of the seeds fell on good soil and grew [well]. [Each seed later] produced 100 [grains].” Then Jesus called out to them, “If you want to understand [MTY] this, you must consider [carefully what I have just said]!”
Puleino imbeyu inchinge vu ilaha pakhuvyala palinkunghwa mung'ang'a unghunya mbolela nchikhamotekha punchikhahola isekhe nchunyingi. “Pu u Yisu avile anchovile ndavule pu akhanchova neilimenyu eilivaha fincho akhata, “Ula uvyaleini mbulukhuta inchakhupuleikha puapuleikhanghe.”
9 Jesus’ disciples [later] asked him about the meaning of the parable [he had just told].
Pu khange avakongi va mwene vakhambuncha ikheihwani eikhyo khyukhuta kheikhi,
10 He said, “God is revealing to you what he did not reveal before, about [how he wants to] rule [MET] [over people’s lives]. But when I am telling other people about [these things, I tell them] only in parables. The result will be [like a prophet predicted long ago]: They will see [what I am doing], but will not perceive [what it means]. They will hear [what I am saying], but will not understand [it].
U Yisu akhavavula akhata, “Umwe muleihuba pakhuva munchimanyile nchila incha khuludeva lwa Nguluve. Pu leino avange vimanyeisiwangwa mfihwananincho, khuta pu vangalole valekhe ukhufivona, vangapuleikha valekhe ukhweliwa.'
11 So this is the meaning of that parable: The seeds [represent] God’s message.
Pu leino ikheihwananincho ikhei vakhiita, khukhuta. Eimbeyu lyulimenyu lya Nguluve.
12 [Some people are like] the path on which some of [the seeds fell]. When these people hear God’s message, the devil comes and causes them to forget what they have heard. As a result, they do not believe it, and will not be saved {[God] will not save them}.
Imbeyu nchila inchanghwile mundukanji munjeila vyu vanu avavipuleikha eilimenyu, pu ponghela undunghu usetano ikhwincha munumbula nvhavo puihencha eilimenyu leila eilyuvaleipulikhe ukhuta puvalekhe ukhulyeideikha nu khupokhiwa.
13 [Some people are like] the [soil with] rock [underneath]. When they hear [God’s] message, they accept it joyfully. [But because it does not penetrate deeply] [MET] [into their inner beings], they believe it for [only] a [short] time. [They are like the plants that] did not have [deep] roots. When difficult things happen to them, they stop believing [God’s message].
Pu leino nchiila inchanghwile palunalawe vyu vanu vala avipuleikha eilimenyu nu khulyupeileila nu luhekhelo pu leino valei vula milela eighya khweitotekha, puvikhweideikha paseikhei unghwa khunghelivwa puvinghwa.
14 [Some people are like] the [soil that had roots of] thorny [weeds] in it. They are people who accept [God’s message], but later on they worry about things, and try to become rich, and enjoy [things that give them] a lot of pleasure. So they do not become [spiritually] mature.
Nchombe imbeyu nchila incha nghwile mumatoni vyu vanu vala vavo vipukikha eilimenyu, pu leino inchankilunga nchikhuvapeinjeileihania imbombo incha vukavi ni fyuma nuvunonghwe uvwankeilunga pu savihola isekhe.
15 But [some people are like] the good soil. They hear [God’s] message and accept it. They [become] good, honest people, and they continue doing things [that please God] [MET].”
Pu leino imbeyu nchincho ncha nghwile ming'anga unghunya mote pakhuva nghuleineimbolela vyu vanu, vala avadekhedekhe ni numbula inonu, vavapulikhe eilimenyu vikhulibaleileila nu khuleikonga puvihola ni sekhe incha khweliyumeleincha.
16 “After people light a lamp, they do not cover it with a basket or put it under a bed. Instead, they put it on a lampstand, so that those who enter [their house] can see [things from] its light [MET]. [Similarly, you must tell God’s truth to others so that they can know what I can do for them].
Pu leino asikhuli umunu na yumo, uvi iwasya einyali nu khunghubeikheila nei ndelema hange siveikha pasi pakheisanja. Pu iveikha pa kyanya pavuhanghufu pakheisanja ukhuta avanu vavikhwingeila vavenchanghe vanu vakhula vukhuvalafu.
17 [God wants to] make clear all [of his truth] that was not evident previously. [He intends] that all of [the truth] that [he] had not revealed before be told openly {that [his people] openly tell [others] all [of the truth] that [he] has not revealed before}.
Ulwakhuva kheisikhuli eikheiyakheiva khifihama, leve lyu limenyu leilyo saleikhamange ikheikhe nukhuva pavavalofu.
18 So listen carefully [to what I tell you], because [God] will enable those who accept [my truth] to [understand even] more. But [God] will cause those who do not accept [my truth] to not understand even [the little] that they think they have [understood].”
Pu leino muvenchanghe vanu vakhupuleikha nukhunchingahe incha nchila unchuvu puleikha pakhuva avyalei na khyo, uywavifikhyongelelangha vikhupinchangha, pu ula uvyaleivuvula na kheilakheila eikheidebe eikhya leinakhyo puvipokhangha khyope.”
19 [One day Jesus’] mother and his [younger] brothers came to see him, but they could not get near him because there was a large crowd [around him in the house].
Pu leino uvaninemwe va Yeisu na valukololwe puvakhanduteila pasavahenghelele pamwene savuli ya kheipungha khya vanu eikhyanchunghutile.
20 Someone told him, “Your mother and your [younger] brothers are standing outside, wanting to see you.”
Pu vakhambula vakhata, “Uvanine mwa vakho navalukololyo veimile panchi vilonda ukhwa nghanila nuve.
21 He replied, “Those who hear God’s message and obey it are [as dear to me] [MET] as my mother and my brothers.”
Pu leino, u Yeisu akhata”, Ujyuva vango navalukolo lwango vyu vala avikhuleipuleikha eilimenyu lya Nguluve nukhuleikonga.”
22 One day Jesus got into a boat with his disciples. He said to them, “Let’s go [around to] the other side of the lake.” So they started to go.
Pu yeikhava eiliinchuva leimo u Yeisu navakongi vamwene vakhingeila muvwato, pu akhavavula akhata, “Pu tulove khe einyanja tulute khumwambo, puvakhatesyania uvwato.
23 As they were sailing, he fell asleep. A big windstorm struck the lake. Soon the boat was filling with water, and they were in danger.
Pu vavile valei munyanja vinghenda, u Yeisu akhanghonelela itulu pu umbelo umbaha nghukha tenghula ukhukulunghuta, pu uvwato vwavo vukhanja ukhudeingha amanghasi pa vakhavmumbupala uvwakhufwa.
24 Jesus’ disciples woke him up. They said [to him], “Master! Master! We [(inc)] are going to drown!” He got up and rebuked the wind and told the waves to be calm. The wind [immediately] stopped blowing and the waves calmed down. [The lake] became calm.
Pu avakongi vamwene vakhaluta upwanghonile u Yisu vakhasisimula, vakhata, “Nkuludeva Nkuludeva! Tuleipakhufwa!” Pu akhasisimukha akhanghutaneila umbelo unghunyakulunghuto, pu amanghasi anghambelo nu kulunghuto nghakhalitama vuvule.
25 He said to them, “(I [am disappointed that] you did not trust me [to help you]!/Why did you not trust me [to help you]?)” [RHQ] They were afraid. They were also amazed. They said to each other, “(What kind of man is this?/This man is not like ordinary men!) [RHQ] He [not only commands people, but] when he commands the wind and the water, they also obey him!”
Pu akhavavula akhata, “Ulwelideikho lweinyo luleindakhu?” Vakhadwada nukhudengha vavo kheila munu aleinkudeingha nukhuta, “Uyu vei munu, mukhi pakhuva umbelo nghwa manghasi anghanyakulunghuto nghikhupuleikha nukhumweideikha?”
26 Jesus and his disciples arrived at the region near Gerasa, a [town] which [was on the eastern] side of Lake [Galilee].
Puvakha`nchifikhe khuvunchenge uvwa kheilunga eikhya Nghelaseni uvanchenge uvulei khulavafu ulwakhusana mu Nghalilaya.
27 [There was] a man [in that region] in whom demons lived. [He was] from the town [of Gerasa]. (OR, [In that area there was] a man [from that town] whom demons controlled.) For a long time he had not worn clothes. He did not live in a house. Instead, he lived in burial caves.
Avile ahumile muvwato pukhava mukheilunga eikhya mwambo khunyanja pu akhanghanila nu munu umo uvambunghenge vula, pu umana uyu ale namakha nghamepo imbivi. Pa finghono fingi akhava sifwala eimyenda, hange saleikhuta munyumba, aleikhutama khuvunghuli vwa vanu avafwile.
28 Many times [demons] attacked him. He was guarded {[People] tried to guard him} [so that he would not injure others]. Chains were fastened {They fastened chains} on his hands and shackles on his feet, but he would break the chains and shackles. Then he would be sent away by the demons {the demons would send him away} to some desolate area. When Jesus stepped out of the boat onto the shore, the man saw him. He [ran to Jesus] and prostrated himself before him. Then Jesus commanded, “You evil spirit, come out of that man!” But it [did not leave immediately. Instead, it] caused the man to shout very loudly, “Jesus, Son of the great God in heaven, since we [(inc)] have nothing in common, [leave me alone] [RHQ]! I beg you, do not torture me [now]!”
Avile ambwene u Yisu pu akhakutafincho puakhanghwa pasi mbulungholo khwa Yeisu, akhakuta nukhyovela fincho aleikhuta, neivombile khinu kheikhi khulyuve, Yeisu vei mwana va Nguluve uvakhukyanya? Nikhukhudova, ulekhe ukhumbunga une”
Pu u Yeisu akhayeilangeila eimepo eimbivi akhata, humangha, ulwakhuva isikhunchoni umepo umbivi aleikhung'usania khyoni khyoni ukhwanukhwa. Pu avanine valeikhundolela nu khunkunga eiminyololo pwaleikhudumulania imepo imbivi nchilikhundongoncha impakha mundunkunghu mumakha ngha mepo ula.
30 [In order to expel the demon more easily], Jesus asked [the demon], “What is your [(sg)] name?” He replied, “My name is Crowd/Mob.” [He said that] because many demons had entered that man.
U Yeisu akhambuncha akhata, “Eiliyavwa lyakho veve veni?” Pu akhamula akhata, “Nene kheipungha” Ulwakhuva imepo imbivi nchunyingi nchingile mumwene.
31 [The demons] kept begging [Jesus] that he would not command them to go into the deep place [where God punishes demons]. (Abyssos g12)
Pu imepo imbivi nchisikhupisima khwa Yeisu ukhuta siwo ulekhe ukhututangha munghunghenge. (Abyssos g12)
32 There was a large herd of pigs (grazing/rooting for food) on the hillside. The demons begged Jesus that he allow them to enter the pigs. So he did.
Pu leino khyale epwo eikheipungha khya nghube eikhivaha kheikhalya eilinyasi pakhyamba. Puvakhaduva nu khusima ukhuta avatavulile vinghile munghube incho pu u Yeisu akhavatavula munghube incho.
33 The demons left the man and entered the pigs. Then the herd [of pigs] rushed down the steep bank into the lake and drowned.
Pu leino imepo imbivi nchikhala uma khumunu ula panchikhingeila mu nghube nchile, pu eikhipungha kheila pukheikhei landaveikha palunghenge kheikheitangha munyanja nchikhadwiveila.
34 When the men who were taking care of the pigs saw what happened, they ran! They told people inside the town and outside the town what had happened.
Avanu vala avadumangha einghube vavile vakheivwene eikheihumile ndavule puvakhava vanu vakhuluta nimbeilo nu khuvuleisya inongwa inchi mwoni mwoni khuvanu va mbunchenghe vwoni.
35 So people went out to see what had happened. When they came to where Jesus was, they saw that the man from whom Jesus had [expelled] the demons was sitting at the feet of Jesus, [listening to him]. He had clothes on, and his mind was normal again. Then those people became afraid [because they thought that Jesus would destroy more of their property] (OR, [because they realized that he must be very powerful]).
Avanu vuvapuleikhe inongwa ndenchi puvakhaluta khukheilolela vavo eikheihumila, puvakhincha khwa Yeisu vakhambona imbivi leino nchihumile pu umunu ula akhava ulunonghile. Akhava atamile pamalunde ngha Yeisu, puvakhadwada.
36 The people who had seen what happened told those [who had just arrived] how [Jesus] had healed the man whom demons were controlling [before].
Pavala vavo valolile puvakhavavula inchihumila khumunu ula uveiakhanghatanchivwangha nu vulongonchi vwa mepo imbivi u aponile.
37 Then [those people and] many other people [HYP] from the area near Gerasa asked Jesus to leave their area. They were very afraid of [what else Jesus would do to them]. So [Jesus and the disciples] got into the boat to go back across the lake.
Avanu voni avakheihungha eikhya mu Nghelasini na mufilonga ifya ndukanchi pu khavona ukhuta u Yeisu ahenghanghe khuvene pakhuva vale nuvudwanchi uvuvaha. Pu akhingheila muvwato aleikhuvaya.
38 The man from whom he had [expelled] the demons begged him saying, “[Please], let me go with you!” But [Jesus refused. Instead], he said to him,
Umunu ula uvei imepo chahumile puakhasima khwa Yeisu akhata vahenghanghe njeila. Pu leino u Yeisu akhambula akhata alutanghe khukaya ya mwene akhata,
39 “[No], go home and tell people how much God has done for you!” Then he sent him away. So the man went away and told people throughout the nearby town how much Jesus had done for him.
“Vuya khukaya yakho pu ukheisanghele nchila nchoni inchu u Yeisu akhuvombile.
40 When [Jesus and the disciples] returned [to Capernaum], a crowd of people who had been waiting for him welcomed him.
Pu U Yeisu avile, avuyile avanu eikheipungha vakhamwambeileila pakhuva voni valeikhunghuleila.
41 Just then a man named Jairus, who was one of the leaders (of the synagogue/of the Jewish meeting place) [there], came near and prostrated himself at Jesus’ feet. He pleaded with Jesus, “Please come to my house [and heal my daughter],
Pu akhavonakha nu munu umo uvu alilangivwanghwa vei. Yailo ale manyisi mbaha paninie navamanyisi munyumba ya khweisayeila. Yailo uyu avile afikhe pamalunde ngha Yeisu pwaeikhwaeibeilusya nukhusima ukhuta idova alute pakaya ya mwene,
42 my only daughter, who is about twelve years old, because she is dying!” As Jesus went with him, many people crowded close to Jesus.
pakhuva alei nu mwaleive umo vuvule uludeingha unymiakha kheinchingo na ngheiveilei aleilamu fincho nduvyaleipakhufwa. Pu u Yeisu avile iluta eikheipungha khya vanu kheileikhu mbunghuteileila.
43 Then a woman came near. She had been suffering from constant [vaginal] [EUP] bleeding for twelve years, but she could not be healed by anyone {no one could heal her}.
Hange na Yudala umo uveiavenchangha khwimali ifinghono fyoni eimiakha kheinchingho neingheiveilei pu nakheikhyuma khyamwene amalile khuvanghanga alepwo pakhipungha kheila, pu asikhuli na yumo unghanga aveiayavile eilimali lyamwene, Pu udala ula akhafuyenye lukha pakhelipunga
44 She came behind [Jesus] and touched the edge of his robe [in order to be healed]. At once her bleeding stopped.
akhanchiva pasana nghwa Yeisu akhabasya mukheihundwa khya Yeisu khumalunde. Pu akhasekhe ndakhaleikhu eilimali lya mwene leikhadungha akhava aponile.
45 Jesus said, “Who touched me?” When everyone said that they had not touched him, Peter said, “Lord, there is a large crowd of people around you [(sg)] and crowding against you, [so any one of them might have touched you]!”
U Yeisu pu akhata, “Veeni uveianyabasinche?” Vooni vakhabela, pu u Peteli akhata, Nkuludeva, avanu avavakhuvunghuleilile nukhukhu kulungha.”
46 But Jesus said, “[I know that] someone [deliberately] touched me, [because] my power has healed someone [who touched me].”
Pu Yeisu leino akhata, “Umunu umo anyabasinche pakhuva neivwene ukhuta amakha nghavile mapepe nghasimuli ndyune.”
47 When the woman realized that she could not prevent [Jesus] (OR, [people]) from knowing that [she was healed], her body began to shake. [She was afraid that because she had disobeyed the law that a woman with such a condition should not touch others, Jesus might scold her for doing that]. She prostrated herself before Jesus. As the other people were listening, she told why she had touched him and how she had been healed immediately.
Pu udala ula avile avwene ilemwa ukhweimyesya eikhyu avombile, akhahengelela pa Yeisu khunu itetema pu akhanghwa pasi akhava munu uvei ikheilata inchipelile ukhumwabasya nukhupona eilimali paalapala.
48 [Jesus] said to her, “(Ma’am/My dear woman), because you believed [PRS] [that I could heal you, I] have healed you. Go [from here, and may you experience God’s] peace [within you].”
Pu leino u Yeisu akhata, “Eingh'ienja, ulwaideikho lwa kho lukhuponiche. Pu wei luteilanghe nulunonchehencho.”
49 While he was still talking [to her], a man from Jairus’ house came and said to Jairus, “Your daughter has died. So (it is useless that you bother the teacher any longer [by urging him to go to your house]!/why do you bother the teacher any longer [by urging him to go to your house]?) [RHQ]”
Pu avile iinchova ndavule, umunu umo akhincha ukhuma khu kya ya ula umbaha vanyumba ya kweisayeila, akhata, “Umwaleivo amalile ukhufwa. ulekhe ukhunghatancha umanyisi.”
50 But when Jesus heard that, he said to Jairus, “Do not think that there is nothing more that can be done. Just believe that [I can help her. If you(sg) do that], she will live again.”
Pu leino u Yeisu avile, apulikhe ndavuleakhamula akhata, “Ulekhe. Ukhudwada vweideikhevuvule navope ipokhivwa.”
51 When they arrived outside Jairus’ house, Jesus allowed only Peter, John, James, and the girl’s mother and father to go in Jairus’ house with him.
Pu leino avile afikhe pakaya nukhweingeila munyumba, pusantavuleile munu ukhwingeila paninie nu mwene, pu u Peteli, nu Yohani nu Yakobo, vise va ngh'eincha, nu vaninemwa veene.
52 All the people [there] were crying and beating their chests [to show that they were sad]. But, [knowing that he would cause the girl to live again], he said to them, “Stop crying! She is not dead! She is [just] sleeping [MET]!”
Pu avanu voni valeikhuleila nukhyovela savuli ya mwana ula uvyafwile, pu u Yeisu akhata, “Mulekhe ukhyovela, safwile, anghonelile vuvule.”
53 The people laughed at him, because they knew that [the girl] was dead.
Pu leino avanu vakhang'ekha nukhubedana, pakhuva valumanyile ukhuta afwile.
54 But [Jesus] took hold of her hand and called to her, saying, “Child, get up!”
Pu umwene, u Yeisu akhamwibata ikhivokho u ngh'eincha ula, pu akheilanga neilimenyu eilivaha akhata, “Vei mwana, uve sisimukha”
55 At once her spirit returned [to her body] and she got up. Jesus immediately said, “Give her something to eat!”
pu u mwuyu nghwa mwene nghukhakilivukha, pu akhasisimukha useikhei nghulanghula, pu akhalangheila akhata vampe kheininie alye.
56 Her parents were amazed, but Jesus told them not to tell anyone [else yet] what had happened.
Avahonchi vamwene vakhaswingha, pu leino akhavavula ululangeilo ukhuta valambu langha munu inongwa inchi.
