Lukka 7
1 Awo Yesu bwe yamala okutegeeza abantu ebigambo ebyo byonna n’ayingira mu Kaperunawumu.
NOW when he had ended all his sayings in the audience of the people, he entered into 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.
And a certain centurion’s servant, who was dear unto him, was sick, and ready 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.
And when he heard of Jesus, he sent unto him the elders of the Jews, beseeching him that he would come and heal his servant.
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 besought him instantly, saying, That he was worthy for whom he should do this:
5 kubanga ayagala nnyo eggwanga lyaffe, era ye yatuzimbira ne kkuŋŋaaniro lyaffe!”
For he loveth our nation, and he hath built us a 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.
Then Jesus went with them. And when he was now not far from the house, the centurion sent friends to him, saying unto him, Lord, trouble not thyself: for I am not worthy that thou shouldest enter under my roof:
7 Era kyenavudde nnema okujja gy’oli nze nzennyini. Naye yogera bwogezi ekigambo, omuweereza wange anaawona!
Wherefore neither thought I myself worthy to come unto thee: but say in a word, and my servant shall 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.”
For I also am a man set under authority, having under me soldiers, and I say unto one, Go, and he goeth; and to another, Come, and he cometh; and to my servant, Do this, and he doeth it.
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.”
When Jesus heard these things, he marvelled at him, and turned him about, and said unto the people that followed him, I say unto you, I have not found so great faith, no, not in Israel.
10 Awo omukulu w’ekitongole be yatuma eri Yesu bwe baddayo mu nnyumba ye, baasanga omuddu awonye.
And they that were sent, returning to the house, found the servant whole that had been sick.
11 Awo ku lunaku olwaddirira, Yesu n’agenda n’abayigirizwa be n’ekibiina kinene ne kimugoberera mu kibuga ekiyitibwa Nayini.
And it came to pass the day after, that he went into a city called Nain; and many of his disciples went with him, and much people.
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.
Now when he came nigh to the gate of the city, behold, there was a dead man carried out, the only son of his mother, and she was a widow: and much people of the city was with her.
13 Awo Mukama waffe bwe yalaba nnamwandu n’amusaasira, n’amugamba nti, “Tokaaba.”
And when the Lord saw her, he had compassion on her, and said unto her, Weep not.
14 N’asemberera essanduuko, abaali bagisitudde ne bayimirira, Yesu n’ayogera nti, “Omuvubuka, nkulagira nti ggolokoka!”
And he came and touched the bier: and they that bare him stood still. And he said, Young man, I say unto thee, Arise.
15 Eyali afudde n’atuula era n’atandika okwogera. Yesu n’amuddiza nnyina.
And he that was dead sat up, and began to speak. And he delivered him to his mother.
16 Buli omu n’ajjula entiisa, ne batendereza Katonda nga bagamba nti, “Nnabbi ow’amaanyi atulabikidde, era Katonda akyalidde abantu be.”
And there came a fear on all: and they glorified God, saying, That a great prophet is risen up among us; and, That God hath visited his people.
17 Ebigambo ebyo ne bibuna Buyudaaya yonna n’okwetooloola emiriraano gyayo.
And this rumour of him went forth throughout all Judæa, and throughout all the region round about.
18 Awo abayigirizwa ba Yokaana Omubatiza ne bategeeza Yokaana ebintu ebyo byonna. Yokaana n’ayita abayigirizwa be babiri,
And the disciples of John shewed him of all these things.
19 n’abatuma eri Mukama waffe okumubuuza nti, “Ggwe wuuyo gwe tusuubira okujja, oba tulindirireyo omulala?”
And John calling unto him two of his disciples sent them to Jesus, saying, Art thou he that should come? or look we 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 were come unto him, they said, John Baptist hath sent us unto thee, saying, Art thou he that should come? or look we 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.
And in that same hour he cured many of their infirmities and plagues, and of evil spirits; and unto many that were blind he gave 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.
Then Jesus answering said unto them, Go your way, and tell John what things ye have seen and heard; how that the blind see, the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, the deaf hear, the dead are raised, to the poor the gospel is preached.
23 Era alina omukisa oyo atanneesittalako.”
And blessed is he, whosoever shall not be offended in 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?
And when the messengers of John were departed, he began to speak unto the people concerning John, What went ye out into the wilderness for to see? A reed shaken with 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 went ye out for to see? A man clothed in soft raiment? Behold, they which are gorgeously apparelled, and live delicately, are in kings’ courts.
26 Naye mwagenderera kulaba ki? Nnabbi? Weewaawo ka mbabuulire, oyo asinga ne nnabbi.
But what went ye out for to see? A prophet? Yea, I say unto 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, of whom it is written, Behold, I send my messenger before thy face, which shall prepare thy way before thee.
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.”
For I say unto you, Among those that are born of women there is not a greater prophet than John the Baptist: but he that 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.
And all the people that heard him, and the publicans, justified God, being baptized with the baptism of John.
30 Naye Abafalisaayo n’abayigiriza b’amateeka ne bagaana ebyo Katonda bye yabategekera, kubanga tebaabatizibwa Yokaana.
But the Pharisees and lawyers rejected the counsel of God against themselves, being not baptized of him.
31 Awo Yesu n’abuuza nti, “Abantu ab’omulembe guno mbageraageranye na ki? Bafaanana batya?
And the Lord said, Whereunto then shall I liken the men of this generation? and to what are they like?
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 unto children sitting in the marketplace, and calling one to another, and saying, We have piped unto you, and ye have not danced; we have mourned to you, and ye have not wept.
33 Kubanga Yokaana Omubatiza bwe yajja teyalyanga mmere wadde okunywa omwenge, ne mugamba nti, ‘Aliko dayimooni!’
For John the Baptist came neither eating bread nor drinking wine; and ye say, He hath a devil.
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 man is come eating and drinking; and ye say, Behold a gluttonous man, and a winebibber, a friend of publicans and sinners!
35 Naye amagezi geeragira mu butuukirivu olw’abaana baago bonna.”
But wisdom is justified of all her children.
36 Awo omu ku Bafalisaayo n’ayita Yesu ku kijjulo, Yesu n’ayingira mu nnyumba, n’atuula ku mmeeza.
And one of the Pharisees desired him that he would eat with him. And he went into the Pharisee’s house, and sat down to meat.
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.
And, behold, a woman in the city, which was a sinner, when she knew that Jesus sat at meat in the Pharisee’s house, brought an alabaster box of ointment,
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 stood at his feet behind him weeping, and began to wash his feet with tears, and did wipe them with the hairs of her head, and kissed his feet, and anointed them with the ointment.
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 when the Pharisee which had bidden him saw it, he spake within himself, saying, This man, if he were a prophet, would have known who and what manner of woman this is that toucheth him: for she is a sinner.
40 Awo Yesu n’amugamba nti, “Simooni, nnina kye njagala okukubuulira.” Simooni n’addamu nti, “Omuyigiriza, mbuulira.”
And Jesus answering said unto him, Simon, I have somewhat to say unto thee. And he saith, Master, say on.
41 “Waaliwo abantu babiri, omuwozi w’ensimbi be yali abanja. Omu yali amubanja ddinaali ebikumi bitaano, n’omulala ddinaali amakumi ataano.
There was a certain creditor which had two debtors: the one owed five hundred pence, 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 nothing to pay, he frankly forgave them both. Tell me therefore, which of them will love him most?
43 Simooni n’addamu nti, “Ndowooza oyo gwe yasonyiwa ebbanja erisingako obunene.” Yesu n’amugamba nti, “Olamudde bulungi.”
Simon answered and said, I suppose that he, to whom he forgave most. And he said unto him, Thou hast rightly judged.
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.
And he turned to the woman, and said unto Simon, Seest thou this woman? I entered into thine house, thou gavest me no water for my feet: but she hath washed my feet with tears, and wiped them with the hairs of her head.
45 Tewannyanirizza na kunnywegera, naye anywegedde ebigere byange emirundi mingi okuva lwe nayingidde.
Thou gavest me no kiss: but this woman since the time I came in hath not ceased to kiss my feet.
46 Tewansiize mafuta ku mutwe gwange, naye ye asiize ebigere byange amafuta ag’akaloosa.
My head with oil thou didst not anoint: but this woman hath anointed my feet with ointment.
47 Noolwekyo nkutegeeza nti omukazi ono asonyiyiddwa ebibi bye ebingi kubanga okwagala kwe kungi, naye oyo asonyiyibwa ebitono n’okwagala kwe kuba kutono.”
Wherefore I say unto thee, Her sins, which are many, are forgiven; for she loved much: but to whom little is forgiven, the same loveth little.
48 Awo Yesu n’agamba omukazi nti, “Osonyiyiddwa ebibi byo.”
And he said unto her, Thy sins are forgiven.
49 Abo abaali ne Yesu ku mmeza ne beebuuzaganya nti, “Ono ye ani asonyiwa n’ebibi?”
And they that sat at meat with him began to say within themselves, Who is this that forgiveth sins also?
50 Yesu n’agamba omukazi nti, “Okukkiriza kwo kukulokodde, genda mirembe.”
And he said to the woman, Thy faith hath saved thee; go in peace.
