Lukka 7
1 Awo Yesu bwe yamala okutegeeza abantu ebigambo ebyo byonna n’ayingira mu Kaperunawumu.
Now when He concluded all His sayings in the hearing of the people, He entered Capernaum.
2 Mu kiseera ekyo, omukulu w’ekitongole ky’abaserikale ekikumi, yalina omuddu we gwe yali ayagala ennyo, yali mulwadde nnyo ng’ali kumpi n’okufa.
Well a certain centurion's slave, who was valuable to him, was sick and about to die.
3 Omukulu w’ekitongole oyo bwe yawulira ebifa ku Yesu, n’atuma abamu ku bakulembeze b’Abayudaaya eri Yesu bamusabe ajje awonye omuddu we.
So when he heard about Jesus, he sent elders of the Jews to Him, asking Him to come and rescue his slave.
4 Bwe baatuuka eri Yesu ne bamwegayirira nnyo nga bagamba nti, “Omusajja ono asaanira okuyambibwa nga bw’akusabye,
And when they came to Jesus they started pleading earnestly with Him, saying that the one for whom He would do this was worthy,
5 kubanga ayagala nnyo eggwanga lyaffe, era ye yatuzimbira ne kkuŋŋaaniro lyaffe!”
“Because he loves our nation, and he himself built our synagogue.”
6 Bw’atyo Yesu n’agenda nabo. Naye Yesu bwe yali akyali mu kkubo nga tannatuuka ku nnyumba, omukulu w’ekitongole n’atuma mikwano gye eri Yesu ng’agamba nti, “Mukama wange, teweeteganya bw’otyo, kubanga nze sisaanira kukusembeza mu nju yange.
So Jesus went with them. But when He was no longer far from the house, the centurion sent friends to Him, saying to Him: “Lord, do not trouble yourself, for I am not worthy that you should come under my roof.
7 Era kyenavudde nnema okujja gy’oli nze nzennyini. Naye yogera bwogezi ekigambo, omuweereza wange anaawona!
In fact I did not even consider myself worthy to come to you. Just say a word and my servant will be healed;
8 Kubanga nange nnina abakulu abantwala, ate waliwo n’abali wansi wange be nninako obuyinza. Bwe ŋŋamba ono nti, ‘Genda,’ agenda, n’omulala nti, ‘Jjangu,’ ajja; n’omuddu wange nti, ‘Kola kino,’ akikola.”
because I also am a man placed under authority, having soldiers under me. I say to one, ‘Go!’ and he goes; and to another, ‘Come!’ and he comes; and to my slave, ‘Do this!’ and he does.”
9 Yesu bwe yawulira ebigambo ebyo n’amwewuunya nnyo, n’akyukira ekibiina ky’abantu abaali bamugoberera n’agamba nti, “Mbagamba nti sirabanga kukkiriza kunene nga kuno, wadde mu Isirayiri.”
Well upon hearing these things Jesus marveled at him, and turning to the crowd following Him, He said, “I say to you, not even in Israel have I found such great faith!”
10 Awo omukulu w’ekitongole be yatuma eri Yesu bwe baddayo mu nnyumba ye, baasanga omuddu awonye.
When those who were sent returned to the house they found that the slave who had been sick was well.
11 Awo ku lunaku olwaddirira, Yesu n’agenda n’abayigirizwa be n’ekibiina kinene ne kimugoberera mu kibuga ekiyitibwa Nayini.
Now it happened on the next day that He went to a town called Nain, and many of His disciples went with Him, also a large crowd.
12 Bwe yali asemberera omulyango gw’ekibuga, laba, abantu ne bafuluma mu kibuga nga beettisse omulambo gw’omuvubuka eyali mutabani w’omukazi nnamwandu, ate nga ye mwana we yekka. Ekibiina ky’abantu abaali bava mu kibuga baali bangi nnyo.
But as He approached the town gate, mercy, a dead man was being carried out, the only son of his mother, and she was a widow; a large crowd from the town was with her.
13 Awo Mukama waffe bwe yalaba nnamwandu n’amusaasira, n’amugamba nti, “Tokaaba.”
When the Lord saw her He had compassion on her and said to her, “Don't cry!”
14 N’asemberera essanduuko, abaali bagisitudde ne bayimirira, Yesu n’ayogera nti, “Omuvubuka, nkulagira nti ggolokoka!”
And advancing He took hold of the bier and the bearers stood still. Then He said, “Young man, to you I say, get up!”
15 Eyali afudde n’atuula era n’atandika okwogera. Yesu n’amuddiza nnyina.
So the dead man sat up and began to talk! Yes, He gave him back to his mother.
16 Buli omu n’ajjula entiisa, ne batendereza Katonda nga bagamba nti, “Nnabbi ow’amaanyi atulabikidde, era Katonda akyalidde abantu be.”
Fear took hold of all, and they began glorifying God, saying, “A great prophet has arisen among us!” and, “God has visited His people!”
17 Ebigambo ebyo ne bibuna Buyudaaya yonna n’okwetooloola emiriraano gyayo.
And this report about Him went throughout Judea, as well as all the surrounding region.
18 Awo abayigirizwa ba Yokaana Omubatiza ne bategeeza Yokaana ebintu ebyo byonna. Yokaana n’ayita abayigirizwa be babiri,
Then the disciples of John informed him about all these things.
19 n’abatuma eri Mukama waffe okumubuuza nti, “Ggwe wuuyo gwe tusuubira okujja, oba tulindirireyo omulala?”
And summoning a certain two of his disciples, John sent them to Jesus, saying, “Are you the Coming One, or should we look for another?”
20 Abayigirizwa ba Yokaana bwe baatuuka eri Yesu, ne bamutegeeza nti, “Yokaana Omubatiza atutumye okukubuuza nti, Ggwe wuuyo ajja oba tulindirirayo omulala?”
When the men had come to Him, they said: “John the Baptizer has sent us to you, saying, ‘Are you the Coming One, or should we look for another?’”
21 Mu kiseera ekyo Yesu n’awonya endwadde nnyingi eza buli ngeri: n’abalema, n’abaaliko emyoyo emibi, n’azibula n’abazibe b’amaaso.
Well in that very hour He healed many from diseases and torments and malignant spirits, and to many blind He granted sight.
22 Abaatumibwa n’abaddamu nti, “Muddeeyo eri Yokaana mumutegeeze byonna bye muwulidde ne bye mulabye. Abazibe b’amaaso bazibulwa amaaso ne balaba, n’abalema batambula, n’abagengebalongoosebwa, n’abaggavu b’amatu gagguka ne bawulira, n’abafu bazuukizibwa, era n’abaavu babuulirwa Enjiri.
So in answer Jesus said to them: “Go and report to John the things you have seen and heard: that the blind regain sight, the lame walk, lepers are cleansed, the deaf hear, dead are raised, the poor are evangelized.
23 Era alina omukisa oyo atanneesittalako.”
And, blessed is he who does not take offense at me!”
24 Awo ababaka ba Yokaana bwe baagenda, Yesu n’abuulira ekibiina ebikwata ku Yokaana. N’ababuuza nti, “Bwe mwagenda mu ddungu, mwagenderera kulaba ki? Olumuli olunyeenyezebwa n’empewo?
Now when John's messengers had departed, He began to speak to the crowds about John: “What did you go out into the wilderness to observe, a reed being shaken by the wind?
25 Naye mwagenderera kulaba ki? Omusajja ayambadde engoye ezinekaaneka? Laba abambadde engoye ezinekaaneka, nga babeera mu bulamu bwa kikungu era babeera mu mbiri.
But what did you go out to see, a man clothed in soft garments? Really, those with gorgeous apparel and living in luxury are in palaces.
26 Naye mwagenderera kulaba ki? Nnabbi? Weewaawo ka mbabuulire, oyo asinga ne nnabbi.
But what did you go out to see, a prophet? Yes, I say to you, and much more than a prophet.
27 Y’oyo ebyawandiikibwa gwe byogerako nti, “‘Laba, ntuma omubaka wange okukukulembera, y’alikuteekerateekera ekkubo lyo mu maaso go.’”
This is he about whom it is written: ‘Take note, I am sending my messenger before your face, who will prepare your way before you.’
28 “Mbagamba nti, mu bantu bonna abaali bazaaliddwa abakazi, tewali mukulu wa kitiibwa kukira Yokaana, naye ate oyo asembayo mu bwakabaka bwa Katonda asinga Yokaana ekitiibwa.”
Further, I tell you that among those born of women there is no greater prophet than John the Baptizer; yet he who is least in the Kingdom of God is greater than he.”
29 Abantu bonna, awamu n’abasolooza b’omusolo, bwe baawulira ebigambo bya Yesu ebyo, ne batendereza Katonda, kubanga baali babatiziddwa mu kubatizibwa kwa Yokaana.
(When all the people, including the tax collectors, heard this, they declared God to be just, having been baptized with John's baptism.
30 Naye Abafalisaayo n’abayigiriza b’amateeka ne bagaana ebyo Katonda bye yabategekera, kubanga tebaabatizibwa Yokaana.
But the Pharisees and the lawyers rejected the counsel of God for themselves, not having been baptized by him.)
31 Awo Yesu n’abuuza nti, “Abantu ab’omulembe guno mbageraageranye na ki? Bafaanana batya?
“To what then shall I compare the men of this generation, and to what are they similar?
32 Bafaanana ng’abaana abato abazannya emizannyo gyabwe mu katale, nga bagambagana nti, “‘Bwe twabafuuyira omulere, temwazina, Bwe twayimba oluyimba olw’okukungubaga, temwakungubaga.’
They are like children sitting in the marketplace and calling to one another, saying, ‘We played the flute for you, and you did not dance; we mourned to you, and you did not cry.’
33 Kubanga Yokaana Omubatiza bwe yajja teyalyanga mmere wadde okunywa omwenge, ne mugamba nti, ‘Aliko dayimooni!’
Because John the Baptizer came neither eating bread nor drinking wine, and you say, ‘He has a demon!’
34 Omwana w’Omuntu azze ng’alya emmere era ng’anywa ne mugamba nti, ‘Laba wa mululu era mutamiivu, mukwano gw’abasolooza b’omusolo n’aboonoonyi!’
The Son of the Man has come eating and drinking, and you say, ‘Just look, a glutton and a drunkard, a friend of tax collectors and sinners!’
35 Naye amagezi geeragira mu butuukirivu olw’abaana baago bonna.”
Still, by all her children wisdom is justified.”
36 Awo omu ku Bafalisaayo n’ayita Yesu ku kijjulo, Yesu n’ayingira mu nnyumba, n’atuula ku mmeeza.
Then one of the Pharisees invited Him to eat with Him, so He entered the Pharisee's house and reclined.
37 Awo omukazi ow’omu kibuga ekyo nga mwonoonyi, eyali ategedde nga Yesu ali mu nju eyo ey’Omufalisaayo, n’aleeta eccupa y’amafuta ag’akaloosa.
But then, a woman in the town who was a sinner, when she found out that He was reclining in the Pharisee's house, she brought an alabaster flask of perfume,
38 N’ayimirira awali Yesu, n’akaaba, amaziga ne gatonnya ku bigere bya Yesu ne bitoba. Omukazi n’abisiimuuza enviiri ze, era n’abinywegera; n’abifukako amafuta ag’akaloosa.
and as she stood behind Him at His feet weeping, she began to wet His feet with her tears and kept wiping them with the hair of her head; and she kept kissing His feet and anointing them with the perfume.
39 Naye Omufalisaayo eyayita Yesu, ebyo bwe yabiraba, n’agamba munda ye nti, “Singa omuntu ono abadde nnabbi, yanditegedde omukazi amukwatako kyali era nga bw’ali omwonoonyi!”
Now as the Pharisee who had invited Him observed this, he was saying to himself, “If this man were a prophet, he would know who is touching him, including what sort of woman she is—because she is a sinner!”
40 Awo Yesu n’amugamba nti, “Simooni, nnina kye njagala okukubuulira.” Simooni n’addamu nti, “Omuyigiriza, mbuulira.”
So Jesus reacted by saying to him, “Simon, I have something to say to you.” And he said, “Teacher, say on.”
41 “Waaliwo abantu babiri, omuwozi w’ensimbi be yali abanja. Omu yali amubanja ddinaali ebikumi bitaano, n’omulala ddinaali amakumi ataano.
“A certain creditor had two debtors. One owed five hundred denarii, and the other fifty.
42 Naye ku bombi nga tekuliiko asobola kusasula bbanja lye. Eyali ababanja kwe kubasonyiwa. Kale, ku bombi aluwa alisinga okumwagala?”
And when they had no way to repay, he freely forgave them both. Now tell me, which of them will love him more?”
43 Simooni n’addamu nti, “Ndowooza oyo gwe yasonyiwa ebbanja erisingako obunene.” Yesu n’amugamba nti, “Olamudde bulungi.”
So Simon answered and said, “I suppose the one to whom he forgave more.” And He said to him, “You have judged correctly.”
44 N’alyoka akyukira omukazi n’agamba Simooni nti, “Omukazi ono omulaba? Bwe nayingidde mu nnyumba yo, tewampadde mazzi ga kunaaba ku bigere byange. Naye abinaazizza n’amaziga ge n’abisiimuula n’enviiri ze.
Then He turned toward the woman and said to Simon: “Do you see this woman? I entered your house; you gave me no water for my feet, but she has wet my feet with her tears and wiped them with the hair of her head.
45 Tewannyanirizza na kunnywegera, naye anywegedde ebigere byange emirundi mingi okuva lwe nayingidde.
You gave me no kiss, but she has not stopped kissing my feet since the time I came in.
46 Tewansiize mafuta ku mutwe gwange, naye ye asiize ebigere byange amafuta ag’akaloosa.
You did not anoint my head with oil, but she has anointed my feet with perfume.
47 Noolwekyo nkutegeeza nti omukazi ono asonyiyiddwa ebibi bye ebingi kubanga okwagala kwe kungi, naye oyo asonyiyibwa ebitono n’okwagala kwe kuba kutono.”
For this reason, I say to you, her many sins have been forgiven, because she loved much; but to whom little is forgiven, the same loves little.”
48 Awo Yesu n’agamba omukazi nti, “Osonyiyiddwa ebibi byo.”
Then He said to her, “Your sins are forgiven.”
49 Abo abaali ne Yesu ku mmeza ne beebuuzaganya nti, “Ono ye ani asonyiwa n’ebibi?”
The other recliners began to say within themselves, “Who is this who even forgives sins?”
50 Yesu n’agamba omukazi nti, “Okukkiriza kwo kukulokodde, genda mirembe.”
Then He said to the woman, “Your faith has saved you; go into peace.”
