Matthew 9
1 And He entered into the ship and passed over, and came to his own city:
Awo Yesu n’asaabala mu lyato n’awunguka n’atuuka mu kibuga ky’ewaabwe, Kaperunawumu.
2 and behold, they brought to Him one that had the palsy laid on a couch: and Jesus seeing their faith said to the paralytic, Take heart my son, for thy sins are forgiven thee.
Amangwago ne bamuleetera omuntu eyali akoozimbye nga bamusitulidde ku katanda. Bwe yalaba okukkiriza kwabwe n’agamba omulwadde nti, “Mwana wange, guma omwoyo, nkusonyiye ebibi byo!”
3 Upon which, some of the scribes said in themselves, This man blasphemeth: but Jesus knowing their surmises,
Naye waaliwo abamu ku bannyonnyozi b’amateeka ne boogeraganya bokka na bokka nti, “Omuntu ono avvoola! Alowooza nti Ye Katonda!”
4 said to them, Why think ye evil in your hearts?
Yesu n’amanya bye balowooza. N’abagamba nti, “Lwaki mubeera n’ebirowoozo ebibi mu mitima gyammwe?
5 For which is easier? To say, thy sins be forgiven thee? or to say, rise up and walk?
Ekyo buli muntu ayinza okukyogera, kubanga kwogera bwogezi.
6 but that ye may know that the Son of man hath power on earth to forgive sins, Arise (saith He then to the paralytic) and take up thy couch, and go away to thy house.
Naye mutegeere nga Omwana w’Omuntu alina obuyinza ku nsi okusonyiwa ebibi.” Awo n’agamba akoozimbye nti, “Yimirira weetikke akatanda ko, weddireyo ewammwe!”
7 And he rose up and went away to his own house.
N’ayimirira ng’awonye, ne yeddirayo eka.
8 But when the multitudes saw it, they were amazed, and glorified God, who had given such power to men.
Naye abantu abaali mu bibiina bwe baalaba ekyamagero kino ne beewuunya nnyo! Ne bagulumiza Katonda eyawa abantu obuyinza obwenkaniddaawo!
9 And as Jesus was passing from thence, He saw a man sitting at the custom-house, named Matthew; and He saith to him, Follow me: and he rose up and followed Him.
Awo Yesu bwe yava mu kifo ekyo n’alaba omuntu, erinnya lye Matayo, ng’atudde mu kifo we basolooleza omusolo, n’amugamba nti, “Ngoberera.” Bw’atyo naye n’asitukiramu n’agoberera Yesu.
10 And as He was sitting at table in the house of Matthew, behold, several publicans and notorious sinners came and sat down with Jesus and his disciples.
Awo Yesu bwe yali ng’atudde ku mmere mu nnyumba ya Matayo, abawooza bangi n’abantu abaali bamanyiddwa mu kitundu ekyo nti babi ne bajja ne batuula naye n’abayigirizwa be ku mmere ne balya.
11 And when the Pharisees saw it, they said to his disciples, Why doth your master eat with publicans and sinners?
Naye Abafalisaayo bwe baakiraba, ne bagamba abayigirizwa be nti, “Lwaki Mukama wammwe alya n’abawooza n’abantu abalina ebibi?”
12 But Jesus hearing them, said unto them, They that are in health need not a physician, but they that are ill: go therefore and learn what that means,
Yesu bwe yawulira n’abaddamu nti, “Abalamu tebeetaaga musawo wabula abalwadde.
13 "I desire mercy rather than sacrifice:" for I came not to call the righteous, but sinners, to repentance.
Mugende muyige amakulu g’Ekyawandiikibwa kino nti, ‘Ssaddaaka zammwe n’ebirabo byammwe si bye neetaaga, wabula neetaaga mubeerenga ba kisa.’ Najjirira kuyita boonoonyi, so sajjirira abo abeerowooza nti batuukirivu.”
14 Then also come to Him the disciples of John, saying, Why do we and the pharisees fast much, but thy disciples do not fast?
Lwali lumu abayigirizwa ba Yokaana ne bajja eri Yesu ne bamubuuza nti, “Lwaki abayigirizwa bo tebasiiba nga ffe n’Abafalisaayo bwe tukola?”
15 And Jesus said unto them, Can the friends of the bridegroom mourn, while the bridegroom is with them? but the days will come when the bridegroom shall be taken from them, and then they will fast.
Yesu n’ababuuza nti, “Mikwano gy’omugole bayinza okunakuwala ng’omugole akyali nabo? Naye ekiseera kirituuka omugole lwalibaggibwako. Olwo nno balisiiba.
16 As no one putteth a piece of new cloth to an old garment; for its new patch teareth away from the old garment, and the rent is made worse:
“Tewali muntu atunga kiwero kiggya mu lugoye lukadde, kubanga, ekiwero bwe kyetugga kiyuza olugoye olukadde, n’ekituli ne kigaziwa.
17 nor do they put new wine into old vessels; otherwise, the casks burst, and the wine is spilt, and the vessels are destroyed: but they put new wine into new vessels, and both are preserved.
Era tewali ateeka wayini musu mu nsawo ez’amaliba enkadde. Ensawoenkadde zaabika wayini n’ayiika n’ensawo ne zoonooneka. Wayini omusu bamuteeka mu nsawo z’amaliba maggya, byombi ne bitayonooneka.”
18 As He was speaking these things to them, behold there came a ruler and worshipped Him, saying, My daughter is at the point of death: but come, I pray Thee, and put thy hand upon her, and she shall live:
Bwe yali ng’akyayogera nabo omufuzi n’ajja, n’amusinza n’amugamba nti, “Omwana wange omuwala anfuddeko, naye singa ojja n’omukwatako anaalamuka.”
19 and Jesus rose up, and followed him; as did also his disciples.
Yesu bwe yasituka n’abayigirizwa be okugenda mu maka g’omukulu w’ekkuŋŋaaniro,
20 (And lo, a woman who had had a flux of blood for twelve years, came close behind Him, and touched the hem of his garment:
omukazi eyali alwadde ekikulukuto ky’omusaayi, okumala emyaka kkumi n’ebiri, n’ajja emabega we n’akoma ku lukugiro lw’ekyambalo kye.
21 for she said within herself, If I can but touch his garment, I shall be cured.
Kubanga y’agamba mu mutima gwe nti, “Ne bwe nnaakoma obukomi ku kyambalo kye nnaawona.”
22 And Jesus turning about, and seeing her, said, Daughter be comforted, thy faith hath cured thee. And from that time the woman was healed.)
Yesu n’akyuka n’alaba omukazi n’amugamba nti, “Muwala, guma omwoyo! Owonye olw’okukkiriza kwo.” Omukazi n’awonera mu kiseera ekyo.
23 And when Jesus came into the ruler's house, and saw the musicians, and the people in confusion;
Awo Yesu bwe yatuuka mu maka g’omufuzi n’asanga abafuuyi b’amakondeere n’ekibiina nga kijagaladde,
24 He saith unto them, Retire; for the child is not dead, but asleep. And they laughed at Him.
n’agamba nti, “Mufulume kubanga omuwala tafudde wabula yeebase bwebasi.” Bonna ne bamusekerera nga bwe beesooza.
25 But when the people were put out, He went in and took hold of her hand, and the damsel rose up.
Naye abantu bwe bamala okufuluma, Yesu n’ayingira, n’akwata omukono gw’omuwala, n’agolokosa omuwala.
26 And the fame of it spread over all the country.
Ebigambo ebyo ne bibuna mu kitundu ekyo kyonna.
27 And as Jesus was going from thence, two blind men followed Him, crying out and saying, Have compassion on us, O Son of David.
Awo Yesu bwe yava eyo, abazibe b’amaaso babiri ne bamugoberera nga bwe baleekaana nti, “Ayi Omwana wa Dawudi, otusaasire!”
28 And when He was come into the house, the blind men came to Him: and Jesus saith unto them, Do ye believe that I am able to do this? and they say unto Him, Yes Lord.
Bwe yatuuka mu nju, bamuzibe ne bajja w’ali. Yesu n’ababuuza nti, “Mukkiriza nga nnyinza okubazibula amaaso?” Ne bamuddamu nti, “Weewaawo, Mukama waffe.”
29 Then he touched their eyes, saying, According to your faith be it done unto you: and their eyes were opened.
Awo n’akoma ku maaso gaabwe n’abagamba nti, “Kale, olw’okukkiriza kwammwe, kye musabye mukiweereddwa.”
30 And Jesus strictly charged them, saying, Do not divulge it: but
Amangwago amaaso gaabwe ne gazibuka. Yesu n’abakuutira nnyo baleme kubuulirako muntu yenna ng’abagamba nti, “Mulabe nga tewaba n’omu ategeera bibaddewo.”
31 they went out and spread his fame through all that country.
Naye bwe baava awo, ne bagenda nga basaasaanya ebigambo ebyo, nga babuulira buli muntu gwe baasisinkananga mu kitundu ekyo.
32 And as they were going out, there was brought to Him a dumb man, a demoniac:
Awo Yesu ne be yali nabo, bwe baali bafuluma ne bamuleetera kiggala eyali tayogera kubanga yaliko dayimooni.
33 and when the demon was cast out, the dumb man spake; and the multitudes were amazed, saying, there had never been seen the like in Israel:
Yesu n’amugobako dayimooni, era amangwago abadde kiggala n’ayogera. Ekibiina ky’abantu ne beewuunya nnyo nga bagamba nti, “Kino tekibangawo mu Isirayiri.”
34 but the pharisees said, he casts out devils by the prince of the devils.
Naye Abafalisaayo ne bagamba nti, “Agoba baddayimooni lwa kubanga ye mukulu wa baddayimooni!”
35 Now Jesus went round to all the cities, and the villages, teaching in their synagogues, and preaching the gospel of the kingdom of heaven, and healing every disease, and every malady among the people.
Yesu n’agenda ng’ayita mu bibuga byonna eby’omu kitundu ekyo, ne mu byalo ng’ayigiriza mu makuŋŋaaniro gaabwe, era ng’abuulira Enjiri ey’obwakabaka. Era buli we yatuukanga n’awonya abalwadde n’abakoozimbye bonna.
36 And when He saw the multitudes, He was moved with compassion towards them; because they were dispersed and scattered like sheep that have no shepherd:
Awo bwe yatunuulira ekibiina ky’abantu nga bajja gy’ali, nga bakooye nnyo, era nga basaasaanye ng’endiga ezitalina musumba, n’abasaasira nnyo.
37 upon which He saith to his disciples, The harvest indeed is plentiful, but the laborers few:
N’agamba abayigirizwa be nti, “Eby’okukungula bingi nnyo, naye abakozi abakungula batono.
38 therefore pray to the Lord of the harvest, that He would send out laborers into his harvest.
Noolwekyo musabe nannyini nnimiro, aweereze abakozi mu nnimiro ye.”
