Makko 10
1 Awo n’agolokoka n’ava eyo n’alaga mu kitundu kya Buyudaaya okusukka emitala wa Yoludaani. Ebibiina ne bimuguberera era naye n’abayigiriza nga bwe yakolanga bulijjo.
Then he arose and came into the confines of Judea, through the country upon the Jordan. Again multitudes resorted to him; and again, as his custom was, he taught them.
2 Abamu ku Bafalisaayo ne bajja ne bamubuuza balyoke bamukwase, nga babuuza nti, “Kikkirizibwa omusajja okugoba mukazi we?”
And some Pharisees came, who, to try him, asked him, Is it lawful for the husband to divorce his wife?
3 Yesu n’addamu nti, “Musa yagamba atya ku nsonga eyo?”
He answering, said to them, What precept has Moses given you on this subject?
4 Ne bamuddamu nti, “Musa yawa omusajja olukusa okuwandiikira mukyala we ebbaluwa emugoba.”
They replied, Moses has permitted us to write her a bill of divorcement, and dismiss her.
5 Yesu n’abagamba nti, “Olw’obukakanyavu bw’emitima gyammwe, kyeyava abawandiikira etteeka lino.
Jesus answering, said to them, Because of your untractable disposition, Moses gave you this permission.
6 Naye okuva ku lubereberye yabatonda omusajja n’omukazi.
But from the beginning, at the creation, God made them a male and a female.
7 Omusajja ky’anaavanga aleka kitaawe ne nnyina, n’agenda n’agattibwa ne mukazi we.
For this reason a man shall leave his father and mother, and shall adhere to his wife,
8 Olwo nga tebakyali babiri, wabula nga bafuuse omubiri gumu.
and they two shall be one flesh. They are, therefore, not longer two, but one flesh.
9 Noolwekyo Katonda be yagatta awamu, omuntu tabaawukanyanga.”
What then God has conjoined, let no man separate.
10 Bwe baali mu nnyumba, abayigirizwa be, ne bongera okumubuuza ku nsonga eyo.
And, in the house, his disciples asked him anew concerning this matter.
11 Yesu n’abagamba nti, “Omusajja bw’agobanga mukazi we n’awasa omukazi omulala, aba ayenze.
He said to them, Whosoever divorces his wife, and marries another, commits adultery against her;
12 N’omukazi bw’ayawukananga ne bba n’afumbirwa omusajja omulala naye aba ayenze.”
and if a woman divorce her husband, and marry another, she commits adultery.
13 Awo Yesu ne bamuleetera abaana abato abakwateko, naye abayigirizwa be ne bajunga abaabaleeta.
Then they brought children to him, that he might touch them; but the disciples rebuked those who brought them.
14 Kyokka Yesu bwe yabiraba n’anyiigira nnyo abayigirizwa be, n’abagamba nti, “Abaana mubaleke bajje gye ndi, temubagaana kubanga abali nga bano, be bannannyini bwakabaka bwa Katonda.
Jesus perceiving this, was offended, and said, Allow the children to come to me, do not hinder them; for of such is the kingdom of God.
15 Ddala ddala mbagamba nti omuntu yenna atakkiriza bwakabaka bwa Katonda ng’omwana omuto, tagenda kubuyingira n’akatono.”
Indeed, I say to you, whosoever will not receive the kingdom of God as a child, shall never enter it.
16 Awo n’asitula abaana n’abassaako emikono gye, n’abawa omukisa.
Then taking them up in his arms, and laying his hands upon them, he blessed them.
17 Awo Yesu bwe yali ng’atambula, omusajja n’ajja gy’ali ng’adduka, n’amufukaamirira n’amubuuza nti, “Omuyigiriza omulungi, nsaanidde kukola ki okufuna obulamu obutaggwaawo?” (aiōnios g166)
As he went out into the road, one came running to him, who, kneeling, asked him, Good Teacher, what must I do to inherit eternal life? (aiōnios g166)
18 Yesu n’amuddamu nti, “Ompitira ki omulungi? Tewali mulungi n’omu wabula Katonda yekka.
Jesus answered, Why do you call me good? God alone is good.
19 Amateeka gano ogamanyi. ‘Tottanga, toyendanga, tobbanga, towaayirizanga, kitaawo ne nnyoko obassangamu ekitiibwa.’”
Do you know the commandments? Do not commit adultery; do not commit murder; do not steal; do not give false testimony; do no injury; honor your father and mother.
20 N’amuddamu nti, “Omuyigiriza, ebyo byonna simenyangako na kimu okuva mu buvubuka bwange.”
The other replied, Rabbi, I have observed all these from my childhood.
21 Yesu n’amutunuulira enkaliriza, n’amwagala. N’amugamba nti, “Waliwo ekintu kimu kyokka ekikubulako, era kye kino: genda otunde ebintu byonna by’olina, ensimbi z’onoggyamu ozigabire abaavu, oliba n’obugagga mu ggulu, olyoke ojje ongoberere.”
Jesus, looking upon him, loved him, and said to him, In one thing, nevertheless, you are deficient. Go, sell all that you have, and give the price to the poor, and you shall have treasure in heaven; then come, and follow me, carrying the cross.
22 Bwe yawulira ebigambo ebyo n’anyiikaala, n’agenda ng’anakuwadde, kubanga yali mugagga nnyo.
But he was troubled at this answer, and went away sorrowful; for he had great possessions.
23 Yesu n’amutunuulira ng’agenda, n’alyoka akyukira abayigirizwa be, n’abagamba nti, “Nga kizibu nnyo abagagga okuyingira mu bwakabaka bwa Katonda!”
Then Jesus looking around him, said to his disciples, How difficult it is for the wealthy to enter the kingdom of God!
24 Kino ne kibeewuunyisa nnyo. Yesu n’ayongera n’abagamba nti, “Abaana abaagalwa, nga kizibu abo abeesiga obugagga okuyingira mu bwakabaka bwa Katonda!
The disciples were astonished at his words; but Jesus resuming the discourse, said, Children, how difficult is it for them, who confide in wealth, to enter the kingdom of God!
25 Kyangu eŋŋamira okuyita mu nnyindo y’empiso okusinga omugagga okuyingira mu bwakabaka bwa Katonda.”
It is easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God.
26 Ne beewuunya nnyo nga bwe beebuuzaganya nti, “Olwo kale ani ayinza okulokolebwa!”
At this they were still more amazed, and said one to another, Who then can be saved?
27 Yesu n’abatunuulira enkaliriza n’abaddamu nti, “Eri abantu tekiyinzika. Naye eri Katonda, buli kintu kyonna kisoboka.”
Jesus looking upon them, said, To men it is impossible, but not to God; for to God all things are possible.
28 Awo Peetero n’agamba Yesu nti, “Tweresa byonna ne tukugoberera.”
Then Peter took occasion to say, As for us, we have forsaken all, and followed you.
29 Yesu n’amuddamu nti, “Njagala okubakakasiza ddala nti, Tewali muntu n’omu eyali yeeresezza ekintu kyonna, ng’amaka, abooluganda, bannyina, nnyina, kitaawe, abaana be, oba ettaka n’amayumba olw’okunjagala n’okubuulira Enjiri,
Jesus answering, said, Indeed, I say to you, there is none who shall have forsaken his his house, or brothers, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, for my sake and the gospel's;
31 Naye bangi aboolubereberye baliba abooluvannyuma, n’ab’oluvannyuma baliba aboolubereberye.”
But many shall be first, who are last, and last, who are first.
32 Awo bwe baali nga bali mu kkubo, nga bagenda e Yerusaalemi, Yesu ng’akulembeddemu, abayigirizwa be ne bamuvaako emabega nga bamugoberera naye nga bajjudde okutya n’okweraliikirira. Yesu n’abazza wa bbali, n’abannyonnyola byonna ebyali bijja okumutuukako nga batuuse mu Yerusaalemi.
As they were on the road to Jerusalem, Jesus walking before them, a panic seized them, and they followed him with terror. Then taking the twelve aside, he told them again what would befall him.
33 N’ababuulira nti, “Bwe tunaatuuka eyo, Omwana w’Omuntu aliweebwayo, atwalibwe mu maaso ga bakabona abakulu n’abannyonnyozi b’amateeka. Bajja kumusalira omusango ogw’okufa era balimuwaayo eri Abamawanga bamusalire ekibonerezo eky’okufa.
Behold, says he, we are going to Jerusalem, where the Son of Man shall be delivered to the chief priests, who will condemn him to die, and deliver him to the Gentiles,
34 Bajja kumuduulira bamuwandire n’amalusu bamukube embooko era bamutte, naye nga wayiseewo ennaku ssatu alizuukira.”
who will mock him, and scourge him, and spit upon him, and kill him; but the third day he shall rise again.
35 Awo Yakobo ne Yokaana, batabani ba Zebbedaayo ne bajja eri Yesu ne boogera naye mpola mu kyama nti. “Omuyigiriza, waliwo ekintu kye tukusaba otukolere.”
Then James and John, the sons of Zebedee, accosted him, saying, Rabbi, we beg you would grant us what we purpose to ask.
36 N’ababuuza nti, “Kiki ekyo?”
He said to them, what would you have me grant you?
37 Ne bamuddamu nti, “Tusaba mu bwakabaka bwo tutuule ku ntebe eziriraanye eyiyo, omu atuule ku mukono gwo ogwa ddyo n’omulala ku gwa kkono?”
They answered, That when you shall have attained your glory, one of us may sit at your right hand, and the other at your left.
38 Naye Yesu n’abaddamu nti, “Kye musaba temukitegeera! Musobola okunywa ku kikompe eky’okubonaabona kye ŋŋenda okunywako? Oba okubatizibwa mu kubonaabona nga bwe ŋŋenda okubatizibwa?”
Jesus replied, You know not what you ask. Can you drink such a cup as I am to drink; and undergo an immersion like that which I must undergo?
39 Ne bamuddamu nti, “Tusobola.” Yesu n’abagamba nti, “Okunywa ku kikompe kyange mugenda kukinywako era mulibatizibwa ne mu kubatizibwa kwange.
They answered, We can. Jesus said to them, You shall indeed drink such a cup, as I am to drink, and undergo an immersion like that which I must undergo;
40 Naye sirina buyinza kubatuuza ku ntebe eziriraanye eyange. Enteekateeka eyo yamala dda okukolebwa.”
but to sit at my right hand, and left, I can not give, unless to those for whom it is appointed.
41 Abayigirizwa bali ekkumi bwe baategeera Yakobo ne Yokaana kye baasaba, ne babanyiigira nnyo.
The ten hearing this, conceived indignation against James and John.
42 Yesu n’abayita n’abagamba nti, “Mumanyi ng’abakulembeze b’abamawanga, n’abakulu baabwe bakuluusanya abantu,
But Jesus having called them together, said to them, You know that those who are accounted the princes of the nations, domineer over them; and their great ones exercise authority upon them;
43 naye mu mmwe si bwe kiri bwe kityo. Yenna ayagala okuba omukulembeze mu mmwe, asaanira abeerenga muweereza wa banne.
but it must not be so amongst you. On the contrary, whosoever would be great amongst you, shall be your servant;
44 Ne buli ayagala okuba omwami mu mmwe, asaana abeere muddu wa banne bonna.
and whosoever would be the chief, shall be the slave of all.
45 N’Omwana w’Omuntu, teyajja ku nsi kuweerezebwa, wabula okuweereza abalala, era n’okuwaayo obulamu bwe ng’omutango okununula abangi.”
For even the Son of Man came not to be served, but to serve, and to give his life a ransom for many.
46 Awo Yesu n’abayigirizwa be ne batuuka mu Yeriko. Oluvannyuma bwe baali bava mu kibuga ekibiina kinene ne kibagoberera. Waaliwo omusajja omuzibe w’amaaso, erinnya lye Battimaayo (mutabani wa Timaayo) eyasabirizanga, eyali atudde ku mabbali g’oluguudo.
Then they came to Jericho. Afterward, as he was departing thence, with his disciples, and a great crowd, blind Bartimeus, son of Timeus, who sat by the way-side begging,
47 Awo Battimaayo bwe yategeera nga Yesu Omunnazaaleesi ajja okuyita we yali, n’atandika okuleekaana nti, “Yesu, Omwana wa Dawudi, onsaasire!”
hearing that it was Jesus the Nazarene, cried, saying, Jesus Son of David, have pity upon me!
48 Abamu ku bantu abaali mu kibiina ne bamuboggolera nti, “Sirika! Totuleekaanira!” Naye ye ne yeeyongera bweyongezi okukoowoola ng’addiŋŋana nti, “Ayi Omwana wa Dawudi, onsaasire!”
Many charged him to be silent, but he cried still the louder, Son of David, have pity upon me!
49 Yesu n’ayimirira n’ayogera nti, “Mumuyite.” Ne bayita omuzibe w’amaaso nti, “Guma omwoyo, situka akuyita!”
Jesus stopping, ordered them to call him. Accordingly they called the blind man, saying to him, Take courage; arise, he calls you.
50 Battimaayo n’asuula eri ekikooti kye, n’asituka mangu n’ajja eri Yesu.
Then throwing down his mantle, he sprang up, and went to Jesus.
51 Yesu n’amubuuza nti, “Oyagala nkukolere ki?” Omuzibe w’amaaso n’addamu nti, “Ayi Omuyigiriza, njagala nsobole okulaba!”
Jesus addressing him, said, What do you wish me to do for you? Rabboni, answered the blind man, to give me my sight.
52 Awo Yesu n’amugamba nti, “Ggenda, okukkiriza kwo kukuwonyezza.” Amangwago omusajja n’azibuka amaaso, n’agoberera Yesu.
Jesus said to him, Go; your faith has cured you. Immediately he recovered his sight, and followed Jesus in the way.
