Lukka 9
1 Awo olunaku lwali lumu Yesu n’ayita abayigirizwa be ekkumi n’ababiri bonna awamu, n’abawa obuyinza okugoba baddayimooni ku bantu n’okuwonya endwadde.
And having called together the twelve, he gave them power and authority over all demons, and to heal diseases,
2 N’abawa obuyinza n’abatuma bagende bategeeze abantu ebigambo by’obwakabaka bwa Katonda era bawonye n’abalwadde.
and sent them to proclaim the kingdom of God and to heal the sick.
3 N’abalagira nti, “Temwetwalira kintu kyonna nga mugenda, wadde omuggo, oba ensawo, oba emmere, wadde ffeeza wadde essaati ebbiri.
And he said to them, Take nothing for the way, neither staff, nor scrip, nor bread, nor money; nor to have two body-coats apiece.
4 Na buli nnyumba mwe muyingiranga, mubeerenga omwo, era mwe muba muvanga.
And into whatsoever house ye enter, there abide and thence go forth.
5 Bwe muyingiranga mu kibuga, abantu baamu ne batabaaniriza, mubaviirenga, era bwe mubanga mufuluma mu kibuga ekyo mukunkumulanga enfuufu ku bigere byammwe, ebe omujulirwa eri bo.”
And as many as may not receive you, going forth from that city, shake off even the dust from your feet for a witness against them.
6 Ne bagenda nga bava mu kibuga ekimu nga badda mu kirala, nga babuulira Enjiri buli wamu era nga bawonya.
And going forth they passed through the villages, announcing the glad tidings and healing everywhere.
7 Awo Kerode eyali afuga Ggaliraaya bwe yawulira ebintu ebyo byonna, n’asoberwa, kubanga abantu abamu baali bagamba nti, “Yokaana azuukidde mu bafu,”
And Herod the tetrarch heard of all the things which were done [by him], and was in perplexity, because it was said by some that John was risen from among [the] dead,
8 n’abalala nti, “Eriya yali alabise,” n’abalala nti, “Omu ku bannabbi ab’edda azuukidde mu bafu.”
and by some that Elias had appeared, and by others that one of the old prophets had risen again.
9 Naye Kerode ne yeebuuza nti, “Yokaana namutemako omutwe; naye ate kale ono ye ani gwe mpulirako ebigambo bino byonna?” N’ayagala okulaba Yesu.
And Herod said, John I have beheaded, but who is this of whom I hear such things? and he sought to see him.
10 Awo abatume bwe baakomawo ne bategeeza Yesu bye baakola. Yesu n’abatwala mu kyama ne bagenda bokka mu kibuga ekiyitibwa Besusayida.
And the apostles having returned related to him whatever they had done. And he took them and withdrew apart into [a desert place of] a city called Bethsaida.
11 Naye ebibiina bwe baakitegeera ne kimugoberera. Yesu n’abaaniriza, n’abayigiriza ebigambo ebikwata ku bwakabaka bwa Katonda, n’abaali abalwadde n’abawonya.
But the crowds knowing [it] followed him; and he received them and spake to them of the kingdom of God, and cured those that had need of healing.
12 Obudde bwe bwawungeera abayigirizwa ekkumi n’ababiri ne bajja gy’ali ne bamugamba nti, “Abantu bagambe bagende mu bibuga ebyetoolodde wano ne mu byalo beefunire we banaafuna ku mmere n’okusula, kubanga wano tuli mu ttale jjereere.”
But the day began to decline, and the twelve came and said to him, Send away the crowd that they may go into the villages around, and [into] the fields, and lodge and find victuals, for here we are in a desert place.
13 Yesu n’abaddamu nti, “Mmwe mubawe ekyokulya!” Abayigirizwa be ne bamuddamu nti, “Wano tulinawo emigaati etaano gyokka n’ebyennyanja bibiri, mpozi nga tugenda tugulire abantu bano bonna emmere.”
And he said to them, Give ye them to eat. And they said, We have not more than five loaves and two fishes, unless we should go and buy food for all this people;
14 Waaliwo abasajja ng’enkumi ttaano. Naye Yesu n’agamba abayigirizwa be nti, “Mutuuze abantu mu bibiina by’abantu ng’amakumi ataano buli kimu.”
for they were about five thousand men. And he said to his disciples, Make them sit down in companies by fifties.
15 Abayigirizwa ne bakola bwe batyo, bonna ne batuula.
And they did so, and made them all sit down.
16 Awo Yesu n’addira emigaati etaano n’ebyennyanja ebibiri n’atunula eri eggulu, ne yeebaza, n’amenyaamenya emigaati n’ebyennyanja, n’awa abayigirizwa be bagabule abantu.
And taking the five loaves and the two fishes, looking up to heaven he blessed them, and broke and gave to the disciples to set before the crowd.
17 Bonna ne balya ne bakkuta, era obutundutundu obwalema bwe bwakuŋŋaanyizibwa ne bujjuza ebisero kkumi na bibiri.
And they all ate and were filled; and there was taken up of what had remained over and above to them in fragments twelve hand-baskets.
18 Lwali lumu Yesu bwe yali ng’asaba yekka kyokka nga n’abayigirizwa be bali awo, n’ababuuza nti, “Ebibiina bimpita ani?”
And it came to pass as he was praying alone, his disciples were with him, and he asked them saying, Who do the crowds say that I am?
19 Ne baddamu nti, “Abamu bagamba nti Yokaana Omubatiza, abalala nti Eriya, ate nga waliwo abagamba nti omu ku bannabbi ab’edda y’azuukidde.”
But they answering said, John the baptist; but others, Elias; and others, that one of the old prophets has risen again.
20 Yesu kwe kubabuuza nti, “Naye mmwe mumpita ani?” Peetero n’addamu nti, “Ggwe Kristo wa Katonda.”
And he said to them, But ye, who do ye say that I am? And Peter answering said, The Christ of God.
21 Awo Yesu n’abakuutira, ng’abalagira obutakitegeezaako muntu yenna,
But, earnestly charging them, he enjoined [them] to say this to no man,
22 n’abategeeza nti, “Kigwanidde, Omwana w’Omuntu, okubonaabona ennyo, n’okugaanibwa abakulembeze b’Abayudaaya, ne bakabona abakulu, n’abannyonnyozi b’amateeka, n’okuttibwa, naye ku lunaku olwokusatu okuzuukizibwa!”
saying, The Son of man must suffer many things, and be rejected of the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be killed, and the third day be raised up.
23 Era bonna n’abagamba nti, “Omuntu yenna ayagala okungoberera asaana yeefiirize yekka yeetikke omusaalaba gwe buli lunaku, angoberere!
And he said to [them] all, If any one will come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross daily and follow me;
24 Kubanga buli ayagala okulokola obulamu bwe, alibufiirwa. Na buli alifiirwa obulamu bwe ku lwange alibulokola.
for whosoever shall desire to save his life shall lose it, but whosoever shall lose his life for my sake, he shall save it.
25 Kubanga omuntu kirimugasa ki okulya ensi yonna, naye n’afiirwa obulamu bwe?
For what shall a man profit if he shall have gained the whole world, and have destroyed, or come under the penalty of the loss of himself?
26 Buli alinkwatirwa ensonyi, nze n’ebigambo byange, n’Omwana w’Omuntu, alimukwatirwa ensonyi, bw’alijja mu kitiibwa kye ne mu kya Kitaawe ne mu kya bamalayika abatukuvu.
For whosoever shall have been ashamed of me and of my words, of him will the Son of man be ashamed when he shall come in his glory, and [in that] of the Father, and of the holy angels.
27 “Naye ddala ddala mbagamba nti abamu ku abo abayimiridde wano waliwo abatalirega ku kufa okutuusa nga bamaze okulaba obwakabaka bwa Katonda.”
But I say unto you of a truth, There are some of those standing here who shall not taste death until they shall have seen the kingdom of God.
28 Awo nga wayiseewo ng’ennaku munaana, Yesu n’atwala Peetero ne Yokaana ne Yakobo ne bambuka ku lusozi okusaba.
And it came to pass after these words, about eight days, that taking Peter and John and James he went up into a mountain to pray.
29 Bwe yali ng’asaba endabika y’amaaso ge n’ekyusibwa, ebyambalo bye ne byeruka ne bitukula nnyo era ne byakaayakana.
And as he prayed the fashion of his countenance became different and his raiment white [and] effulgent.
30 Awo abantu babiri ne balabika nga banyumya ne Yesu, omu yali Musa n’omulala Eriya,
And lo, two men talked with him, who were Moses and Elias,
31 abaali bamasamasa mu kitiibwa kyabwe nga boogera ku kufa kwa Yesu, kwe yali agenda okutuukiriza mu Yerusaalemi.
who, appearing in glory, spoke of his departure which he was about to accomplish in Jerusalem.
32 Peetero ne banne otulo twali tubakutte era nga beebase, Bwe baazuukuka ne balaba ekitiibwa kya Yesu n’abantu ababiri abaali bayimiridde naye.
But Peter and those with him were oppressed with sleep: but having fully awoke up they saw his glory, and the two men who stood with him.
33 Awo Musa ne Eriya bwe baali bagenda, Peetero nga tamanyi ne kyayogera, n’agamba nti, “Mukama wange kirungi ffe okubeera wano. Ka tuzimbe wano ensiisira ssatu, emu yiyo, endala ya Musa n’endala ya Eriya!”
And it came to pass as they departed from him, Peter said to Jesus, Master, it is good for us to be here; and let us make three tabernacles, one for thee, and one for Moses, and one for Elias: not knowing what he said.
34 Naye yali akyayogera ebyo ekire ne kibabikka, abayigirizwa ne bajjula okutya nga kibasaanikidde.
But as he was saying these things, there came a cloud and overshadowed them, and they feared as they entered into the cloud:
35 Eddoboozi ne liva mu kire ne ligamba nti, “Ono ye Mwana wange, gwe nneeroboza, mumuwulirize!”
and there was a voice out of the cloud saying, This is my beloved Son: hear him.
36 Eddoboozi bwe lyasiriikirira, Yesu n’asigalawo yekka. Abayigirizwa abo bye baalaba ne bye baawulira ne babikuuma mu mitima gyabwe, ne batabibuulirako muntu yenna mu kiseera ekyo.
And as the voice was [heard] Jesus was found alone: and they kept silence, and told no one in those days any of the things they had seen.
37 Awo enkeera bwe baakomawo nga bava ku lusozi, ekibiina ekinene ne kijja okusisinkana Yesu.
And it came to pass on the following day, when they came down from the mountain, a great crowd met him.
38 Omusajja eyali mu kibiina n’ayogerera waggulu ng’agamba nti, “Omuyigiriza, nkwegayiridde tunula ku mutabani wange ono kubanga yekka gwe nnina.
And lo, a man from the crowd cried out saying, Teacher, I beseech thee look upon my son, for he is mine only child:
39 Kubanga ddayimooni buli bbanga amukwata n’amuwowogganya, era n’amukankanya n’abimba ejjovu n’amusuula eri era tayagala kumuleka, amumaliramu ddala amaanyi.
and behold, a spirit takes him, and suddenly he cries out, and it tears him with foaming, and with difficulty departs from him after crushing him.
40 Neegayiridde abayigirizwa bo bamumugobeko, naye ne batasobola.”
And I besought thy disciples that they might cast him out, and they could not.
41 Awo Yesu n’addamu nti, “Mmwe omulembe ogutakkiriza era ogwakyama, ndibeera nammwe kutuusa ddi? Era ndibagumiikiriza kutuusa ddi? Leeta wano omwana wo.”
And Jesus answering said, O unbelieving and perverted generation, how long shall I be with you and suffer you? Bring hither thy son.
42 Omulenzi bwe yali ajja eri Yesu dayimooni n’amusuula wansi n’amukankanya nnyo. Yesu n’aboggolera omwoyo omubi n’awonya omwana, n’amuddiza kitaawe.
But as he was yet coming, the demon tore him and dragged him all together. And Jesus rebuked the unclean spirit, and healed the child and gave him back to his father.
43 Abantu bonna ne beewuunya obuyinza bwa Katonda. Awo buli muntu bwe yali akyewuunya eby’ekitalo ebyo Yesu bye yali akola, n’agamba abayigirizwa be nti,
And all were astonished at the glorious greatness of God. And as all wondered at all the things which [Jesus] did, he said to his disciples,
44 “Muwulirize nnyo kye ŋŋenda okubagamba. Omwana w’Omuntu, agenda kuliibwamu olukwe.”
Do ye let these words sink into your ears. For the Son of man is about to be delivered into men's hands.
45 Naye abayigirizwa tebaategeera ky’agambye n’amakulu gaakyo. Kubanga kyali kibakwekebbwa, baleme okutegeera ate nga batya okukimubuuza.
But they understood not this saying, and it was hid from them that they should not perceive it. And they feared to ask him concerning this saying.
46 Awo empaka ne zisituka mu bayigirizwa ba Yesu, nga bawakanira aliba omukulu mu bo.
And a reasoning came in amongst them, who should be [the] greatest of them.
47 Naye Yesu bwe yategeera ebirowoozo byabwe n’addira omwana omuto n’amuyimiriza w’ali.
And Jesus, seeing the reasoning of their heart, having taken a little child set it by him,
48 N’abagamba nti, “Buli muntu asembeza omwana ono omuto mu linnya lyange ng’asembezezza Nze, na buli ansembeza aba asembezezza oyo eyantuma. Oyo asembayo okuba owa wansi mu mmwe, ye mukulu okubasinga.”
and said to them, Whosoever shall receive this little child in my name receives me, and whosoever shall receive me receives him that sent me. For he who is the least among you all, he is great.
49 Awo Yokaana n’agamba Yesu nti, “Mukama waffe, twalaba omuntu ng’agoba baddayimooni mu linnya lyo ne tugezaako okumuziyiza kubanga tayita naffe.”
And John answering said, Master, we saw some one casting out demons in thy name, and we forbad him, because he follows not with us.
50 Naye Yesu n’amuddamu nti, “Temumuziyizanga kubanga oyo atalwana nammwe abeera ku ludda lwammwe.”
And Jesus said to him, Forbid [him] not, for he that is not against you is for you.
51 Awo ekiseera eky’okulinnya kwe mu ggulu bwe kyali kisembedde, n’amalirira okugenda e Yerusaalemi.
And it came to pass when the days of his receiving up were fulfilled, that he stedfastly set his face to go to Jerusalem.
52 N’atuma ababaka mu maaso ne balaga mu kibuga ky’Abasamaliya okumutegekera.
And he sent messengers before his face. And having gone they entered into a village of the Samaritans that they might make ready for him.
53 Naye abantu b’eyo ne batamwaniriza, kubanga yali amaliridde okulaga mu Yerusaalemi.
And they did not receive him, because his face was [turned as] going to Jerusalem.
54 Abayigirizwa Yakobo ne Yokaana bwe baakiraba ne babuuza Yesu nti, “Mukama waffe, tuyite omuliro okuva mu ggulu gubazikirize?”
And his disciples James and John seeing [it] said, Lord, wilt thou that we speak [that] fire come down from heaven and consume them, as also Elias did?
55 Naye Yesu n’akyuka n’abanenya.
But turning he rebuked them [and said, Ye know not of what spirit ye are].
56 Ne bagenda mu kabuga akalala.
And they went to another village.
57 Awo bwe baali bali mu kkubo omu ku bo n’amugamba nti, “Nnaakugobereranga wonna w’onoogendanga.”
And it came to pass as they went in the way, one said to him, I will follow thee wheresoever thou goest, Lord.
58 Yesu n’amugamba nti, “Ebibe birina obunnya bwabyo mwe bisula, n’ennyonyi zirina ebisu, naye Omwana w’Omuntu, talina kifo kya kuwumulizaamu mutwe gwe.”
And Jesus said to him, The foxes have holes and the birds of the heaven roosting-places, but the Son of man has not where he may lay his head.
59 N’agamba omusajja omulala nti, “Ngoberera.” Omusajja n’addamu nti, “Mukama wange, nzikiriza mmale okugenda okuziika kitange.”
And he said to another, Follow me. But he said, Lord, allow me to go first and bury my father.
60 Yesu n’amugamba nti, “Leka abafu baziike abafu baabwe, naye ggwe genda olangirire obwakabaka bwa Katonda.”
But Jesus said to him, Suffer the dead to bury their own dead, but do thou go and announce the kingdom of God.
61 N’omulala n’agamba Yesu nti, “Nnaakugobereranga Mukama wange. Naye sooka ondeke mmale okusiibula ab’omu maka gange.”
And another also said, I will follow thee, Lord, but first allow me to bid adieu to those at my house.
62 Naye Yesu n’amuddamu nti, “Omuntu yenna akwata ekyuma ekirima mu ngalo ze ate n’atunula emabega, tasaanira bwakabaka bwa Katonda.”
But Jesus said to him, No one having laid his hand on [the] plough and looking back is fit for the kingdom of God.
