< 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,
Shortly after this He visited town after town, and village after village, proclaiming His Message and telling the Good News of the Kingdom of God. The Twelve were with Him,
2 navavange avadala uvuva khaponile ukhuhuma kumepo imbivi nu mutamu ulipapingi. Vakhale vi Mariamu uviali kwilangiwa magadalena uvi va khahumiche imepo saba.
and certain women whom He had delivered from evil spirits and various diseases--Mary of Magdala, out of whom seven demons had come,
3 UYoana udala va kuza nu numbaha va Herode, Susana, na vadala avange vingi, uvuvakhahumicha ifyuma fyavene.
and Joanna the wife of Chuza, Herod's steward, and Susanna, and many other women, all of whom contributed to the support of Jesus and His Apostles.
4 Eikhipungha khya vanu vavile valundamine papanie ukhuhuma mwonimwoni mbunchenge, vu ava anchovangha navo mfihwananincho. Pa akhanchova eikheihwani akhata.
And when a great crowd was assembling, and was receiving additions from one town after another, He spoke a parable to them.
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.
"The sower," He said, "goes out to sow his seed; and as he sows, some of the seed falls by the way-side, and is trodden upon, or the birds of the air come and peck it up.
6 Inchinge imbiyu ncha nghwile pang'ang'a unghwa palunalawe ncha vile nchimelile vuuchi kula punchilikhunialalukha ulwakhuva sapale na magasi.
Another part drops upon the rock, and after growing up it withers away for want of moisture.
7 Imbiyu inchinge nchikhanghwamumitwinyo pungheileinkula pupanie punchikheivunghuteila.
Another part falls among the thorns, and the thorns grow up with it and stifle it.
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.”
But some of the seed falls into good ground, and grows up and yields a return of a hundred for one." While thus speaking, He cried aloud and said, "Listen, every one who has ears to listen with!"
9 Pu khange avakongi va mwene vakhambuncha ikheihwani eikhyo khyukhuta kheikhi,
The disciples proceeded to ask Him what this parable meant.
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.'
"To you," He replied, "it is granted to know the secrets of the Kingdom of God; but all others are taught by parables, in order that they may see and yet not see, and may hear and yet not understand.
11 Pu leino ikheihwananincho ikhei vakhiita, khukhuta. Eimbeyu lyulimenyu lya Nguluve.
The meaning of the parable is as follows. The seed is God's Message.
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.
Those by the way-side are those who have heard, and then the Devil comes and carries away the Message from their hearts, lest they should believe 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.
Those on the rock are the people who on hearing the Message receive it joyfully; but they have no root: for a time they believe, but when trial comes they fall away.
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.
That which fell among the thorns means those who have heard, but as they go on their way, the Message is stifled by the anxieties, wealth and gaieties of time, and they yield nothing in perfection.
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.
But as for that in the good ground, it means those who, having listened to the Message with open minds and in a right spirit, hold it fast, and patiently yield a return.
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.
"When any one lights a lamp, he does not cover it with a vessel or hide it under a couch; he puts it on a lampstand, that people who enter the room may see the light.
17 Ulwakhuva kheisikhuli eikheiyakheiva khifihama, leve lyu limenyu leilyo saleikhamange ikheikhe nukhuva pavavalofu.
There is nothing hidden, which shall not be openly seen; nor anything secret, which shall not be known and come into the light of day.
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.”
Be careful, therefore, how you hear; for whoever has anything, to him more shall be given, and whoever has nothing, even that which he thinks he has shall be taken away from him."
19 Pu leino uvaninemwe va Yeisu na valukololwe puvakhanduteila pasavahenghelele pamwene savuli ya kheipungha khya vanu eikhyanchunghutile.
Then came to Him His mother and His brothers, but could not get near Him for the crowd.
20 Pu vakhambula vakhata, “Uvanine mwa vakho navalukololyo veimile panchi vilonda ukhwa nghanila nuve.
But He was told, "Your mother and brothers are standing on the edge of the crowd, and 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," He replied, "are these who hear God's Message and obey it."
22 Pu yeikhava eiliinchuva leimo u Yeisu navakongi vamwene vakhingeila muvwato, pu akhavavula akhata, “Pu tulove khe einyanja tulute khumwambo, puvakhatesyania uvwato.
One day He went on board a boat--both He and his disciples; and He said to them, "Let us cross over to the other side of the Lake." So they set sail.
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.
During the passage He fell asleep, and there came down a squall of wind on the Lake, so that the boat began to fill and they were in deadly peril.
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.
So they came and woke Him, crying, "Rabbi, Rabbi, we are drowning." Then He roused Himself and rebuked the wind and the surging of the water, and they ceased and there was a 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 faith?" He asked them. But they were filled with terror and amazement, and said to one another, "Who then is this? for He gives orders both to wind and waves, and they obey Him."
26 Puvakha`nchifikhe khuvunchenge uvwa kheilunga eikhya Nghelaseni uvanchenge uvulei khulavafu ulwakhusana mu Nghalilaya.
Then they put in to shore in the country of the Gerasenes, which lies opposite to 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.
Here, on landing, He was met by one of the townsmen who was possessed by demons--for a long time he had not put on any garment, nor did he live in a house, but 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 cried out and fell down before Him, and said in a loud voice, "What have you to do with me, Jesus, Son of God Most High? Do not torture me, I beseech 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 already He had been commanding the foul spirit to come out of the man. For many a time it had seized and held him, and they had repeatedly put him in chains and fetters and kept guard over him, but he used to break the chains to pieces, and, impelled by the demon, to escape into the Desert.
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--because a great number of demons had entered into him;
31 Pu imepo imbivi nchisikhupisima khwa Yeisu ukhuta siwo ulekhe ukhututangha munghunghenge. (Abyssos g12)
and they besought Him not to command them to be gone into the Bottomless Pit. (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.
Now there was a great herd of swine there feeding on the hill-side; and the demons begged Him to give them leave to go into them, and He gave them leave.
33 Pu leino imepo imbivi nchikhala uma khumunu ula panchikhingeila mu nghube nchile, pu eikhipungha kheila pukheikhei landaveikha palunghenge kheikheitangha munyanja nchikhadwiveila.
The demons came out of the man and left him, and entered into the swine; and the herd rushed violently over the cliff into the Lake and were drowned.
34 Avanu vala avadumangha einghube vavile vakheivwene eikheihumile ndavule puvakhava vanu vakhuluta nimbeilo nu khuvuleisya inongwa inchi mwoni mwoni khuvanu va mbunchenghe vwoni.
The swineherds, seeing what had happened, fled and reported it both in town and country;
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.
whereupon the people came out to see what had happened. They came to Jesus, and they found the man from whom the demons had gone out sitting at the feet of Jesus, clothed and in his right mind; and they were terrified.
36 Pavala vavo valolile puvakhavavula inchihumila khumunu ula uveiakhanghatanchivwangha nu vulongonchi vwa mepo imbivi u aponile.
And those who had seen it told them how the demoniac was cured.
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 the whole population of the Gerasenes and of the adjacent districts begged Him to depart from them; for their terror was great. So He went on board and returned.
38 Umunu ula uvei imepo chahumile puakhasima khwa Yeisu akhata vahenghanghe njeila. Pu leino u Yeisu akhambula akhata alutanghe khukaya ya mwene akhata,
But the man from whom the demons had gone out earnestly asked permission to go with Him; but He sent him away.
39 “Vuya khukaya yakho pu ukheisanghele nchila nchoni inchu u Yeisu akhuvombile.
"Return home," He said, "and tell there all that God has done for you." So he went and published through the whole town all that Jesus had done for him.
40 Pu U Yeisu avile, avuyile avanu eikheipungha vakhamwambeileila pakhuva voni valeikhunghuleila.
Now when Jesus was returning, the people gave Him a warm welcome; for they had all been looking out for 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,
Just then there came a man named Jair, a Warden of the Synagogue, who threw himself at the feet of Jesus, and entreated Him to come to his house;
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.
for he had an only daughter, about twelve years old, and she was dying. And as He went, the dense throng crowded on 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
And a woman who for twelve years had been afflicted with haemorrhage--and had spent on doctors all she had, but none of them had been able to cure her--
44 akhanchiva pasana nghwa Yeisu akhabasya mukheihundwa khya Yeisu khumalunde. Pu akhasekhe ndakhaleikhu eilimali lya mwene leikhadungha akhava aponile.
came close behind Him and touched the tassel of His robe; and instantly her flow of blood stopped.
45 U Yeisu pu akhata, “Veeni uveianyabasinche?” Vooni vakhabela, pu u Peteli akhata, Nkuludeva, avanu avavakhuvunghuleilile nukhukhu kulungha.”
"Who is it touched me?" Jesus asked. And when all denied having done so, Peter and the rest said, "Rabbi, the crowds are hemming you in and pressing on you."
46 Pu Yeisu leino akhata, “Umunu umo anyabasinche pakhuva neivwene ukhuta amakha nghavile mapepe nghasimuli ndyune.”
"Some one has touched me," Jesus replied, "for I feel that power has gone 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.
Then the woman, perceiving that she had not escaped notice, came trembling, and throwing herself down at His feet she stated before all the people the reason why she had touched Him and how she was instantly cured.
48 Pu leino u Yeisu akhata, “Eingh'ienja, ulwaideikho lwa kho lukhuponiche. Pu wei luteilanghe nulunonchehencho.”
"Daughter," said He, "your faith has cured you; go, and be at 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, some one came to the Warden of the Synagogue from his house and said, "Your daughter is dead; trouble the Rabbi no further."
50 Pu leino u Yeisu avile, apulikhe ndavuleakhamula akhata, “Ulekhe. Ukhudwada vweideikhevuvule navope ipokhivwa.”
Jesus heard the words and said to him, "Have no fear. Only believe, and she shall be restored to life."
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.
So He came to the house, but allowed no one to go in with Him but Peter and 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.”
The people were all weeping aloud and beating their breasts for her; but He said, "Leave off wailing; for she is not dead, but asleep."
53 Pu leino avanu vakhang'ekha nukhubedana, pakhuva valumanyile ukhuta afwile.
And they jeered at Him, knowing that she was dead.
54 Pu umwene, u Yeisu akhamwibata ikhivokho u ngh'eincha ula, pu akheilanga neilimenyu eilivaha akhata, “Vei mwana, uve sisimukha”
He, however, took her by the hand and called aloud, "Child, awake!"
55 pu u mwuyu nghwa mwene nghukhakilivukha, pu akhasisimukha useikhei nghulanghula, pu akhalangheila akhata vampe kheininie alye.
And her spirit returned, and instantly she stood up; and He directed them to give her some food.
56 Avahonchi vamwene vakhaswingha, pu leino akhavavula ululangeilo ukhuta valambu langha munu inongwa inchi.
Her parents were astounded; but He forbad them to mention the matter to any one.
