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.
Jesus, having convened the twelve, gave them power and authority over all the demons, and to cure 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 Reign 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, Provide nothing for your journey; nor staves, nor bag, nor bread, nor silver, nor two coats apiece;
4 Na buli nnyumba mwe muyingiranga, mubeerenga omwo, era mwe muba muvanga.
and continue in whatever house you are received into, till you leave the place.
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 wheresoever they will not receive you, shake even the dust off your feet, as a protestation against them.
6 Ne bagenda nga bava mu kibuga ekimu nga badda mu kirala, nga babuulira Enjiri buli wamu era nga bawonya.
They accordingly departed, and traveled through the villages, publishing the good tidings, and performing cures everywhere.
7 Awo Kerode eyali afuga Ggaliraaya bwe yawulira ebintu ebyo byonna, n’asoberwa, kubanga abantu abamu baali bagamba nti, “Yokaana azuukidde mu bafu,”
Now Herod, the tetrarch, having heard of all that Jesus had done, was perplexed; because some said, John is risen from the dead;
8 n’abalala nti, “Eriya yali alabise,” n’abalala nti, “Omu ku bannabbi ab’edda azuukidde mu bafu.”
and some, Elijah has appeared; and others, One of the ancient prophets is 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 beheaded; but who is this, of whom I hear such things? And he was desirous 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.
Now, the Apostles having returned, reported to Jesus all that they had done: and he, taking them with him, retired privately to a desert belonging to the city of 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 multitude, having known it, followed him; and he, receiving them, spoke to them concerning the Reign of God; and he healed those who 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.”
When the day began to decline, the twelve, accosting him, said, Dismiss the people, that they may go to the nearest towns and villages, and provide themselves lodging and food; for we are in a desert.
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.”
He answered, Supply them yourselves with food. They replied, We have only five loaves and two fishes; unless we go and buy victuals 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. Then he said to his disciples, Make them recline in parties; fifty in a party.
15 Abayigirizwa ne bakola bwe batyo, bonna ne batuula.
And they did so, making them all recline.
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.
Then he took the five loaves and the two fishes; and looking up to heaven, he blessed and broke them, and gave them to his disciples, to set before the multitudes.
17 Bonna ne balya ne bakkuta, era obutundutundu obwalema bwe bwakuŋŋaanyizibwa ne bujjuza ebisero kkumi na bibiri.
And they all did eat and were satisfied; and took up twelve baskets full of fragments.
18 Lwali lumu Yesu bwe yali ng’asaba yekka kyokka nga n’abayigirizwa be bali awo, n’ababuuza nti, “Ebibiina bimpita ani?”
Afterward, Jesus having withdrawn from the multitude to pray, apart with his disciples, asked them, saying, Who do people 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.”
They answered, John the Immerser; others say, Elijah; and others, that one of the ancient prophets is risen again.
20 Yesu kwe kubabuuza nti, “Naye mmwe mumpita ani?” Peetero n’addamu nti, “Ggwe Kristo wa Katonda.”
He said to them, But who do you say that I am? Peter answered, The Messiah of God.
21 Awo Yesu n’abakuutira, ng’abalagira obutakitegeezaako muntu yenna,
Then, having strictly charged them, he prohibited them from telling this to any person;
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!”
adding, The Son of Man must suffer many things, and be rejected by the elders and chief priests, and scribes, and be killed, and rise again the third day.
23 Era bonna n’abagamba nti, “Omuntu yenna ayagala okungoberera asaana yeefiirize yekka yeetikke omusaalaba gwe buli lunaku, angoberere!
Moreover, he said to all the people, If any man will come under my guidance, let him renounce himself, and take his cross daily, and follow me.
24 Kubanga buli ayagala okulokola obulamu bwe, alibufiirwa. Na buli alifiirwa obulamu bwe ku lwange alibulokola.
For whosoever would save his life, shall lose it; and whosoever will lose his life for my sake, shall save it.
25 Kubanga omuntu kirimugasa ki okulya ensi yonna, naye n’afiirwa obulamu bwe?
What will it profit a man to gain the whole world, with the forfeit or ruin 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 be ashamed of me, and of my words, of him will the Son of Man be ashamed, when he shall come in his own 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.”
I assure you, that there are some standing here, who shall not taste death till they see the Reign of God.
28 Awo nga wayiseewo ng’ennaku munaana, Yesu n’atwala Peetero ne Yokaana ne Yakobo ne bambuka ku lusozi okusaba.
About eight days after this discourse, he took with him Peter, and John, and James, and went up on 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.
While he prayed, the appearance of his countenance was changed, and his raiment contracted a dazzling whiteness.
30 Awo abantu babiri ne balabika nga banyumya ne Yesu, omu yali Musa n’omulala Eriya,
And, behold, two men of a glorious aspect, Moses and Elijah,
31 abaali bamasamasa mu kitiibwa kyabwe nga boogera ku kufa kwa Yesu, kwe yali agenda okutuukiriza mu Yerusaalemi.
conversed with him, and spoke of the departure which he was to accomplish at Jerusalem.
32 Peetero ne banne otulo twali tubakutte era nga beebase, Bwe baazuukuka ne balaba ekitiibwa kya Yesu n’abantu ababiri abaali bayimiridde naye.
Now, Peter, and those that were with him, were overpowered with sleep; but when they awoke, they saw his glory, and the two men who stood with them.
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!”
As these were removing from Jesus, Peter said to him, not knowing what he said, Master, it is good for us to stay here; let us, then, make three booths, one for you, one for Moses, and one for Elijah.
34 Naye yali akyayogera ebyo ekire ne kibabikka, abayigirizwa ne bajjula okutya nga kibasaanikidde.
While he was speaking, a cloud came and covered them, and the disciples feared, when they entered the cloud.
35 Eddoboozi ne liva mu kire ne ligamba nti, “Ono ye Mwana wange, gwe nneeroboza, mumuwulirize!”
From the cloud a voice came, which said, This is my Son, the beloved; 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.
While the voice was uttered, Jesus was found alone. And they kept secret, telling no person, in those days, anything of what they had seen.
37 Awo enkeera bwe baakomawo nga bava ku lusozi, ekibiina ekinene ne kijja okusisinkana Yesu.
The next day, when they were come down from the mountain, a great multitude 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 one of the crowd cried out, saying, Rabbi, I beseech you, take pity on my son; for he is my 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 lo! a spirit seizes him, making him instantly cry out, and fall into convulsions, so that he foams; and after he is much bruised, hardly leaves him.
40 Neegayiridde abayigirizwa bo bamumugobeko, naye ne batasobola.”
And I besought your disciples to expel the demon; but they were not able.
41 Awo Yesu n’addamu nti, “Mmwe omulembe ogutakkiriza era ogwakyama, ndibeera nammwe kutuusa ddi? Era ndibagumiikiriza kutuusa ddi? Leeta wano omwana wo.”
Then, Jesus answering, said, O incredulous and perverse generation! how long shall I be with you, and suffer you? Bring your son hither.
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.
And as he was coming, the demon dashed him down in convulsions. And Jesus rebuked the unclean spirit, and having cured the child, delivered him 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 they were all amazed at the great power of God. While all were admiring everything which Jesus did, he said to his disciples,
44 “Muwulirize nnyo kye ŋŋenda okubagamba. Omwana w’Omuntu, agenda kuliibwamu olukwe.”
Mark diligently these words, the Son of Man is to be delivered into the hands of men.
45 Naye abayigirizwa tebaategeera ky’agambye n’amakulu gaakyo. Kubanga kyali kibakwekebbwa, baleme okutegeera ate nga batya okukimubuuza.
But they understood not this language; it was vailed to them, that they might not apprehend it; and they were afraid to ask him concerning it.
46 Awo empaka ne zisituka mu bayigirizwa ba Yesu, nga bawakanira aliba omukulu mu bo.
And there arose a debate among them, which of them should be the greatest.
47 Naye Yesu bwe yategeera ebirowoozo byabwe n’addira omwana omuto n’amuyimiriza w’ali.
But Jesus, who perceived the thought of their heart, took a child, and placing him near himself,
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.”
said to them, Whosoever shall receive this child for my sake, receives me; and whosoever shall receive me, receives him who sent me: for he who is the least amongst you all, this person shall be great.
49 Awo Yokaana n’agamba Yesu nti, “Mukama waffe, twalaba omuntu ng’agoba baddayimooni mu linnya lyo ne tugezaako okumuziyiza kubanga tayita naffe.”
Then John replied, Master, we saw one expelling demons in your name, and we forbade him, because he consorts not with us.
50 Naye Yesu n’amuddamu nti, “Temumuziyizanga kubanga oyo atalwana nammwe abeera ku ludda lwammwe.”
Jesus answered, Forbid not such; for whosoever is not against us, is for us.
51 Awo ekiseera eky’okulinnya kwe mu ggulu bwe kyali kisembedde, n’amalirira okugenda e Yerusaalemi.
Now, as the time of his departure approached, he set out resolutely for Jerusalem,
52 N’atuma ababaka mu maaso ne balaga mu kibuga ky’Abasamaliya okumutegekera.
and sent messengers before, who went into a village of the Samaritans to make preparation for him.
53 Naye abantu b’eyo ne batamwaniriza, kubanga yali amaliridde okulaga mu Yerusaalemi.
But they would not admit him; because they perceived he was going to Jerusalem.
54 Abayigirizwa Yakobo ne Yokaana bwe baakiraba ne babuuza Yesu nti, “Mukama waffe, tuyite omuliro okuva mu ggulu gubazikirize?”
His disciples, James and John, observing this, said, Master, shall we call down fire from heaven to consume them, as Elijah did?
55 Naye Yesu n’akyuka n’abanenya.
But he turned and rebuked them, saying, Do you not know of what spirit you 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.”
As they were on the way, one said to him, Master, I will follow you whithersoever you go.
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.”
Jesus answered, The foxes have holes, and the birds of the air have places of shelter; but the Son of Man has not where to repose his head.
59 N’agamba omusajja omulala nti, “Ngoberera.” Omusajja n’addamu nti, “Mukama wange, nzikiriza mmale okugenda okuziika kitange.”
He said to another, Follow me. He answered, Sir, permit me first to go and bury my father.
60 Yesu n’amugamba nti, “Leka abafu baziike abafu baabwe, naye ggwe genda olangirire obwakabaka bwa Katonda.”
Jesus replied, Let the dead bury their dead; but go you and publish the Reign of God.
61 N’omulala n’agamba Yesu nti, “Nnaakugobereranga Mukama wange. Naye sooka ondeke mmale okusiibula ab’omu maka gange.”
Another, likewise, said, I will follow you, Sir; but first permit me to take leave of my family.
62 Naye Yesu n’amuddamu nti, “Omuntu yenna akwata ekyuma ekirima mu ngalo ze ate n’atunula emabega, tasaanira bwakabaka bwa Katonda.”
Jesus answered, No man, having put his hand to the plow, looks behind him, is fit for the kingdom of God.
