Lukha 8
1 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,
Soon after this Jesus went around the towns and villages announcing the good news of God's kingdom. The twelve disciples went with him,
2 navavange avadala uvuva khaponile ukhuhuma kumepo imbivi nu mutamu ulipapingi. Vakhale vi Mariamu uviali kwilangiwa magadalena uvi va khahumiche imepo saba.
along with a number of women who had been healed from evil spirits and sickness: Mary called Magdalene from whom he had cast out seven demons;
3 UYoana udala va kuza nu numbaha va Herode, Susana, na vadala avange vingi, uvuvakhahumicha ifyuma fyavene.
Joanna, the wife of Herod's manager Chuza; Susanna; and many more who provided support from their personal resources.
4 Eikhipungha khya vanu vavile valundamine papanie ukhuhuma mwonimwoni mbunchenge, vu ava anchovangha navo mfihwananincho. Pa akhanchova eikheihwani akhata.
Once when a large crowd of people gathered, coming from many towns to see him, Jesus spoke to them, using a story as an illustration.
5 “alekhyo umunu uvei avyalyangha eimbiyu, avile ivyala, imbiyu inchinghe ncha nghwinchangha mundukanji munjeila pu avanu vakanya na malunde ifidenghe fya khukyanya fikhalya imbiyu incho.
“A farmer went out to sow his seed. As he scattered the seed, some fell on the road where people trampled on it and birds ate it up.
6 Inchinge imbiyu ncha nghwile pang'ang'a unghwa palunalawe ncha vile nchimelile vuuchi kula punchilikhunialalukha ulwakhuva sapale na magasi.
Some fell on stony ground, and once the seeds had sprouted they withered for lack of moisture.
7 Imbiyu inchinge nchikhanghwamumitwinyo pungheileinkula pupanie punchikheivunghuteila.
Some seeds fell among thorns and as they both grew the thorns choked the plants.
8 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.”
Some seeds fell on good earth and after they grew they produced a harvest one hundred times more than what had been sown.” After he told them this, he called out, “If you have ears, then listen!”
9 Pu khange avakongi va mwene vakhambuncha ikheihwani eikhyo khyukhuta kheikhi,
But his disciples asked him, “What does this illustration mean?”
10 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.'
Jesus replied, “You've been given insights into the mysteries of God's kingdom, but the rest are given illustrations, so that, ‘Even though they see, they don't really see; and even though they hear, they don't really understand.’
11 Pu leino ikheihwananincho ikhei vakhiita, khukhuta. Eimbeyu lyulimenyu lya Nguluve.
This is the meaning of the illustration: The seed is God's word.
12 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.
The seeds that fall on the road are those who hear the message, but then the devil comes and steals away the truth from their minds so they won't trust in God and be saved.
13 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.
The seeds that fall on the stony ground are those who hear and welcome the message with joy but don't have any roots. They trust for a while but when difficult times come they give up.
14 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.
The seeds that fall among thorns are those who hear the message but it's choked out by life's distractions—worries, wealth, pleasure—so they don't produce anything.
15 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.
The seeds sown on good earth are those who are honest and do what is right. They hear the message of truth, hold on to it, and through their perseverance produce a good harvest.
16 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.
You don't light a lamp and then cover it with a bucket, or hide it under a bed. No, you put it on a stand, so that anyone who comes in can see the light.
17 Ulwakhuva kheisikhuli eikheiyakheiva khifihama, leve lyu limenyu leilyo saleikhamange ikheikhe nukhuva pavavalofu.
For there's nothing hidden that won't be revealed; there's nothing secret that won't become known and obvious.
18 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.”
So pay attention how you ‘hear.’ To those who have received, more will be given; from those who don't receive, even what they think they have will be taken away!”
19 Pu leino uvaninemwe va Yeisu na valukololwe puvakhanduteila pasavahenghelele pamwene savuli ya kheipungha khya vanu eikhyanchunghutile.
Then Jesus' mother and brothers arrived, but they couldn't get through the crowd to see him.
20 Pu vakhambula vakhata, “Uvanine mwa vakho navalukololyo veimile panchi vilonda ukhwa nghanila nuve.
Jesus was told, “Your mother and your brothers are outside. They want to see you.”
21 Pu leino, u Yeisu akhata”, Ujyuva vango navalukolo lwango vyu vala avikhuleipuleikha eilimenyu lya Nguluve nukhuleikonga.”
“My mother and my brothers are those who hear God's word, and do what it says,” Jesus replied.
22 Pu yeikhava eiliinchuva leimo u Yeisu navakongi vamwene vakhingeila muvwato, pu akhavavula akhata, “Pu tulove khe einyanja tulute khumwambo, puvakhatesyania uvwato.
One day Jesus said to his disciples, “Let's cross over to the other side of the lake.” So they got into a boat and set off.
23 Pu vavile valei munyanja vinghenda, u Yeisu akhanghonelela itulu pu umbelo umbaha nghukha tenghula ukhukulunghuta, pu uvwato vwavo vukhanja ukhudeingha amanghasi pa vakhavmumbupala uvwakhufwa.
As they were sailing, Jesus fell asleep, and a storm came down on the lake. The boat began filling with water and they were in danger of sinking.
24 Pu avakongi vamwene vakhaluta upwanghonile u Yisu vakhasisimula, vakhata, “Nkuludeva Nkuludeva! Tuleipakhufwa!” Pu akhasisimukha akhanghutaneila umbelo unghunyakulunghuto, pu amanghasi anghambelo nu kulunghuto nghakhalitama vuvule.
They went over to Jesus and woke him up. “Master, master, we're going to drown!” they said. Jesus woke up and commanded the wind and the rough waves to stop. They stopped, and all was calm.
25 Pu akhavavula akhata, “Ulwelideikho lweinyo luleindakhu?” Vakhadwada nukhudengha vavo kheila munu aleinkudeingha nukhuta, “Uyu vei munu, mukhi pakhuva umbelo nghwa manghasi anghanyakulunghuto nghikhupuleikha nukhumweideikha?”
“Where is your trust?” he asked them. Terrified and amazed, they said to each other, “So who is this? He gives commands to the winds and the water, and they obey him!”
26 Puvakha`nchifikhe khuvunchenge uvwa kheilunga eikhya Nghelaseni uvanchenge uvulei khulavafu ulwakhusana mu Nghalilaya.
They sailed across to the Gerasene region that lies opposite Galilee.
27 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.
When Jesus stepped out of the boat onto the shore, a demon-possessed man from the town came to meet him. For a long time he hadn't worn any clothes or lived in a house. He lived in the tombs.
28 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”
When he saw Jesus he screamed, fell down at Jesus' feet, and asked in a loud voice, “What do you want with me, Jesus, Son of the Most High God? Please don't torture me, I beg you!”
29 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.
For Jesus had already commanded the evil spirit to leave the man. It had often seized him, and despite being tied down with chains and shackles, and placed under guard, he would break the chains apart and would be driven by the demon into the desert areas.
30 U Yeisu akhambuncha akhata, “Eiliyavwa lyakho veve veni?” Pu akhamula akhata, “Nene kheipungha” Ulwakhuva imepo imbivi nchunyingi nchingile mumwene.
“What is your name?” Jesus asked him. “Legion,” he replied, for many demons had entered him.
31 Pu imepo imbivi nchisikhupisima khwa Yeisu ukhuta siwo ulekhe ukhututangha munghunghenge. (Abyssos g12)
They begged Jesus not to order them to go into the Abyss. (Abyssos g12)
32 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.
There was a large herd of pigs feeding on the nearby hillside, and the demons begged him to be allowed to go into the pigs. Jesus gave them permission,
33 Pu leino imepo imbivi nchikhala uma khumunu ula panchikhingeila mu nghube nchile, pu eikhipungha kheila pukheikhei landaveikha palunghenge kheikheitangha munyanja nchikhadwiveila.
so the demons left the man and entered the pigs. The herd rushed down the steep slope into the lake and drowned.
34 Avanu vala avadumangha einghube vavile vakheivwene eikheihumile ndavule puvakhava vanu vakhuluta nimbeilo nu khuvuleisya inongwa inchi mwoni mwoni khuvanu va mbunchenghe vwoni.
When the pig-keepers saw what had happened they ran off and spread the news through the town and the countryside.
35 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.
The people went out to see what had happened. When they came to Jesus they found the man freed from the demons. He was sitting there at Jesus' feet, wearing clothes and in his right mind; and they became scared.
36 Pavala vavo valolile puvakhavavula inchihumila khumunu ula uveiakhanghatanchivwangha nu vulongonchi vwa mepo imbivi u aponile.
Those who had seen what happened explained how the demon-possessed man had been healed.
37 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.
Then all the people from the Gerasene region asked Jesus to leave because they were overwhelmed by fear. So he got into the boat and went back.
38 Umunu ula uvei imepo chahumile puakhasima khwa Yeisu akhata vahenghanghe njeila. Pu leino u Yeisu akhambula akhata alutanghe khukaya ya mwene akhata,
The man who had been freed from the demons begged to go with him, but Jesus sent him away.
39 “Vuya khukaya yakho pu ukheisanghele nchila nchoni inchu u Yeisu akhuvombile.
“Go back home, and tell people all that God has done for you,” Jesus told him. So he went away, telling the whole town all that Jesus had done for him.
40 Pu U Yeisu avile, avuyile avanu eikheipungha vakhamwambeileila pakhuva voni valeikhunghuleila.
A crowd of people was there to welcome Jesus when he returned, all eagerly expecting him.
41 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,
One was a man called Jairus, a synagogue leader, who came and fell at Jesus' feet. He pleaded with Jesus to come to his home
42 pakhuva alei nu mwaleive umo vuvule uludeingha unymiakha kheinchingo na ngheiveilei aleilamu fincho nduvyaleipakhufwa. Pu u Yeisu avile iluta eikheipungha khya vanu kheileikhu mbunghuteileila.
because his only daughter was dying. She was about twelve years old. While Jesus was on his way there, people were crowding around him.
43 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
In the crowd was a woman who had suffered with bleeding for twelve years. She had spent all she had on doctors, but none of them had been able to help her.
44 akhanchiva pasana nghwa Yeisu akhabasya mukheihundwa khya Yeisu khumalunde. Pu akhasekhe ndakhaleikhu eilimali lya mwene leikhadungha akhava aponile.
She approached Jesus from behind and touched the hem of his cloak. Immediately the bleeding stopped.
45 U Yeisu pu akhata, “Veeni uveianyabasinche?” Vooni vakhabela, pu u Peteli akhata, Nkuludeva, avanu avavakhuvunghuleilile nukhukhu kulungha.”
“Who touched me?” Jesus asked. Everybody around denied doing so. “But Master,” said Peter, “there are people crowding around you, and they keep pushing up against you.”
46 Pu Yeisu leino akhata, “Umunu umo anyabasinche pakhuva neivwene ukhuta amakha nghavile mapepe nghasimuli ndyune.”
“Someone touched me,” Jesus replied. “I know because power went out from me.”
47 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.
When the woman realized she couldn't go unnoticed, she came forward, trembling, and fell down before him. Right in front of everybody she explained the reason why she had touched Jesus, and that she'd been cured immediately.
48 Pu leino u Yeisu akhata, “Eingh'ienja, ulwaideikho lwa kho lukhuponiche. Pu wei luteilanghe nulunonchehencho.”
Jesus said to her, “Daughter, your trust has healed you, go in peace.”
49 Pu avile iinchova ndavule, umunu umo akhincha ukhuma khu kya ya ula umbaha vanyumba ya kweisayeila, akhata, “Umwaleivo amalile ukhufwa. ulekhe ukhunghatancha umanyisi.”
While he was still speaking, someone came from the home of the synagogue leader to tell him, “Your daughter's dead. You don't need to bother the Teacher any longer.”
50 Pu leino u Yeisu avile, apulikhe ndavuleakhamula akhata, “Ulekhe. Ukhudwada vweideikhevuvule navope ipokhivwa.”
But when he heard this, Jesus told Jairus, “Don't be afraid. If you trust, she will be healed.”
51 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.
When Jesus arrived at the house he didn't allow anyone else to go in except Peter, John, and James, and the girl's father and mother.
52 Pu avanu voni valeikhuleila nukhyovela savuli ya mwana ula uvyafwile, pu u Yeisu akhata, “Mulekhe ukhyovela, safwile, anghonelile vuvule.”
All the people there were crying and mourning for her. “Don't cry,” Jesus told them. “She's not dead, she's just sleeping.”
53 Pu leino avanu vakhang'ekha nukhubedana, pakhuva valumanyile ukhuta afwile.
They laughed at him, because they knew that she was dead.
54 Pu umwene, u Yeisu akhamwibata ikhivokho u ngh'eincha ula, pu akheilanga neilimenyu eilivaha akhata, “Vei mwana, uve sisimukha”
But Jesus took her by the hand, and said in a loud voice, “My child, get up!”
55 pu u mwuyu nghwa mwene nghukhakilivukha, pu akhasisimukha useikhei nghulanghula, pu akhalangheila akhata vampe kheininie alye.
She came back to life, and she got up at once. Jesus told them to give her something to eat.
56 Avahonchi vamwene vakhaswingha, pu leino akhavavula ululangeilo ukhuta valambu langha munu inongwa inchi.
Her parents were astonished at what had happened, but Jesus instructed them not to tell anyone about it.
