Makko 8
1 Mu biseera ebyo, ebibiina ne byeyongera obunene nate, abantu emmere n’ebaggwaako. Yesu n’ayita abayigirizwa be n’abagamba nti,
In those days, when there was a large crowd, and they had nothing to eat, he called the disciples to himself, and said to them,
2 “Abantu bano bankwasa ekisa, kubanga baakamala nange ennaku ssatu, naye tebalina kyakulya.
"I have compassion on the crowd, because they have stayed with me now three days, and have nothing to eat.
3 Singa mbasiibula baddeyo ewaabwe nga tebalidde, enjala ejja kubasuula ku kkubo! Ate abamu bava wala.”
If I send them away fasting to their home, they will faint on the way, and some of them have come a long way."
4 Abayigirizwa ne bamubuuza nti, “Emigaati tunaagiggya wa wano mu ddungu eginaamala abantu bano bonna?”
His disciples answered him, "From where could one satisfy these people with bread here in a deserted place?"
5 Yesu n’ababuuza nti, “Mulinawo emigaati emeka?” Ne baddamu nti, “Musanvu.”
He asked them, "How many loaves do you have?" They said, "Seven."
6 Awo Yesu n’alagira abantu batuule wansi. N’addira emigaati omusanvu, ne yeebaza Katonda, n’agimenyaamenyamu, n’agiwa abayigirizwa be ne bagitwalira ekibiina ne babagabula.
He commanded the crowd to sit down on the ground, and he took the seven loaves. Having given thanks, he broke them, and gave them to his disciples to serve, and they served the crowd.
7 Era baalina wo n’ebyennyanja bitono, nabyo Yesu n’abiwa omukisa n’agamba abayigirizwa be babigabule abantu.
They had a few small fish. Having blessed them, he said to serve these also.
8 Abantu bonna ne balya okutuusa lwe bakkuta, ne bakuŋŋaanya ebyabalema ebisero musanvu ebijjudde.
They ate, and were filled. They took up seven baskets of broken pieces that were left over.
9 Mu kibiina ekyo mwalimu abantu ng’enkumi nnya. N’abasiibula.
Now they were about four thousand. Then he sent them away.
10 Amangwago n’asaabala mu lyato n’abayigirizwa be n’ajja mu kitundu eky’e Dalumanusa.
Immediately he entered into the boat with his disciples, and came into the region of Dalmanutha.
11 Abafalisaayo ne bajja gy’ali ne batandika okuwakana naye nga banoonya akabonero akava mu ggulu nga bamugezesa.
The Pharisees came out and began to question him, seeking from him a sign from heaven, and testing him.
12 Yesu n’assa ekikkowe, n’abagamba nti, “Lwaki omulembe guno gunoonya akabonero? Ddala ddala mbagamba nti, Tewali kabonero kajja kuweebwa mulembe guno.”
He sighed deeply in his spirit, and said, "Why does this generation seek a sign? Truly I tell you, no sign will be given to this generation."
13 N’abaviira n’asaabala mu lyato n’alaga ku ludda olulala olw’ennyanja.
And he left them, and got into the boat again, and went to the other side.
14 Abayigirizwa beerabira okutwala emigaati egiwera; baalina omugaati gumu gwokka mu lyato.
Now they forgot to take bread; and they did not have more than one loaf in the boat with them.
15 Yesu n’abakuutira nti, “Mwekuume ekizimbulukusa eky’Abafalisaayo n’ekizimbulukusa ekya Kerode.”
He warned them, saying, "Watch out; guard yourselves against the yeast of the Pharisees and the yeast of Herod."
16 Ne boogeraganya bokka ne bokka nti tebalina migaati.
And they began discussing among themselves that they had no bread.
17 Yesu bwe yakimanya n’abagamba nti, “Lwaki mugambagana nti temulina migaati? Era temunnategeera? Emitima gyammwe gikyali mikakanyavu?
He, perceiving it, said to them, "Why do you reason that it's because you have no bread? Do you not perceive yet, neither understand? Are your hearts hardened?
18 Lwaki temulaba, ate nga mulina amaaso? Lwaki temuwulira ate nga mulina amatu? Temujjukira?
Having eyes, do you not see? Having ears, do you not hear? Do you not remember?
19 Mwerabidde emigaati etaano gye namenyamenyamu okuliisa abantu enkumi ettaano? Ebisero byali bimeka eby’obukunkumuka bye mwakuŋŋaanya?” Ne baddamu nti, “Kkumi na bibiri.”
When I broke the five loaves among the five thousand, how many baskets full of broken pieces did you take up?" They told him, "Twelve."
20 N’ababuuza nti, “Ate abantu bwe baali enkumi ennya n’emigaati omusanvu, mwakuŋŋaanya ebisero by’obutundutundu bwe baalemwa bimeka?” Ne baddamu nti, “Musanvu.”
"When the seven loaves fed the four thousand, how many baskets full of broken pieces did you take up?" And they said, "Seven."
21 N’abagamba nti, “Era temunnategeera?”
He asked them, "Do you not yet understand?"
22 Awo bwe baatuuka mu Besusayida, ne wabaawo abantu abaamuleetera omusajja omuzibe w’amaaso, ne bamwegayirira amukwateko.
He came to Beth-Sayada. They brought a blind man to him, and begged Yeshua to touch him.
23 Yesu n’akwata omuzibe w’amaaso ku mukono n’amufulumya ebweru w’akabuga ako. N’awanda amalusu ku maaso g’omusajja n’agakwatako, n’amubuuza nti, “Kaakano waliwo ky’olaba?”
He took hold of the blind man by the hand, and brought him out of the village. When he had spit on his eyes, and laid his hands on him, he asked him if he saw anything.
24 Omusajja n’amagamaga, n’addamu nti, “Yee! Ndaba abantu kyokka balabika ng’emiti egitambula.”
He looked up, and said, "I see people; they look like trees walking."
25 Yesu n’ayongera okukwata ku maaso g’omusajja, omusajja n’azibuka amaaso n’awonera ddala buli kintu n’akiraba bulungi.
Then again he laid his hands on his eyes. He made him look up, and was restored, and saw everything clearly.
26 Yesu n’amutuma mu maka g’ewaabwe ng’amugamba nti, “Toddayo mu kyalo.”
He sent him away to his house, saying, "Do not enter into the village."
27 Awo Yesu n’abayigirizwa be, ne bagenda mu bubuga obw’e Kayisaliya ekya Firipo. Naye bwe baali batambula, Yesu n’ababuuza nti, “Abantu bampita ani?”
Yeshua went out, with his disciples, into the villages of Qesarya Dephilipus. On the way he asked his disciples, "Who do people say that I am?"
28 Abayigirizwa be ne bamuddamu nti, “Yokaana Omubatiza, abalala Eriya, naye abalala nti omu ku bannabbi.”
And they said to him, saying, "Yukhanan the Baptist, and others say Eliya, but others: one of the prophets."
29 Kwe kubabuuza nti, “Naye mmwe mumpita ani?” Peetero n’addamu nti, “Ggwe Kristo.”
He said to them, "But who do you say that I am?" Kipha answered, "You are the Meshikha."
30 Naye Yesu n’abakuutira baleme okukibuulirako omuntu yenna!
He commanded them that they should tell no one about him.
31 Awo Yesu n’atandika okubabuulira nti, “Kigwanidde Omwana w’Omuntu okubonaabona ennyo, n’okugaanibwa abakadde, ne bakabona abakulu n’abannyonnyozi b’amateeka, n’okuttibwa, n’oluvannyuma lw’ennaku ssatu okuzuukira.”
He began to teach them that the Son of Man must suffer many things, and be rejected by the elders, the chief priests, and the scribes, and be killed, and after three days rise again.
32 Yayogera nabo ku nsonga zino zonna mu lwatu, Peetero kyeyava amuzza wabbali n’atandika okumunenya.
He spoke to them openly. Kipha took him, and began to rebuke him.
33 Yesu n’akyuka n’atunuulira abayigirizwa be, n’alyoka anenya Peetero nti, “Setaani dda ennyuma wange, kubanga tolowooza ku bya Katonda wabula olowooza ku by’abantu.”
But he, turning around, and seeing his disciples, rebuked Kipha, and said, "Get behind me, Satana. For you have in mind not the things of God, but the things of humans."
34 Awo Yesu n’ayita ekibiina wamu n’abayigirizwa be, n’abagamba nti, “Obanga waliwo omuntu ayagala okungoberera, asaanidde okwefiiriza asitule omusaalaba gwe alyoke angoberere.
He called the crowd to himself with his disciples, and said to them, "If anyone wants to come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me.
35 Kubanga buli eyeemalira ku bulamu bwe, alibufiirwa. Naye oyo awaayo obulamu bwe ku lwange ne ku lw’Enjiri alibuwonya.
For whoever wants to save his life will lose it; and whoever will lose his life for my sake and the sake of the Good News will save it.
36 Kale omuntu agasibwa ki singa alya ensi yonna, naye n’afiirwa obulamu bwe?
For what does it profit a person to gain the whole world, and forfeit his soul?
37 Omuntu ayinza kuweebwa ki, akiwanyise olw’obulamu bwe?
Or what will a person give in exchange for his soul?
38 Era buli muntu yenna ankwatirwa ensonyi, n’ebigambo byange ne bimukwasa ensonyi mu mulembe guno ogutali mwesigwa era ogujjudde ebibi, Omwana w’Omuntu alimukwatirwa ensonyi bw’alijja mu kitiibwa kya Kitaawe ne bamalayika abatukuvu.”
For whoever will be ashamed of me and of my words in this adulterous and sinful generation, the Son of Man also will be ashamed of him, when he comes in the glory of his Father with the holy angels."
