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 very large crowd that had nothing to eat, Jesus called his disciples over 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 for 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 to their homes without having eaten, they will faint on the way, for some of them have come from far away.”
4 Abayigirizwa ne bamubuuza nti, “Emigaati tunaagiggya wa wano mu ddungu eginaamala abantu bano bonna?”
His disciples answered him, “How can anyone feed these people with bread here in the wilderness?”
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.
So he commanded the crowd to sit down on the ground, and taking the seven loaves, he gave thanks, broke them, and gave them to his disciples to distribute, and they set them before the crowd.
7 Era baalina wo n’ebyennyanja bitono, nabyo Yesu n’abiwa omukisa n’agamba abayigirizwa be babigabule abantu.
They also had a few small fish. After blessing the fish, Jesus told the disciples to set them before the crowd as well.
8 Abantu bonna ne balya okutuusa lwe bakkuta, ne bakuŋŋaanya ebyabalema ebisero musanvu ebijjudde.
The people ate and were filled, and the disciples picked up what was left over of the broken pieces, seven baskets full.
9 Mu kibiina ekyo mwalimu abantu ng’enkumi nnya. N’abasiibula.
There were about four thousand men who had eaten. After sending them away,
10 Amangwago n’asaabala mu lyato n’abayigirizwa be n’ajja mu kitundu eky’e Dalumanusa.
Jesus immediately got into the boat with his disciples and went to the district of Dalmanutha.
11 Abafalisaayo ne bajja gy’ali ne batandika okuwakana naye nga banoonya akabonero akava mu ggulu nga bamugezesa.
Then the Pharisees came and began to argue with Jesus, asking him for a sign from heaven, to test him.
12 Yesu n’assa ekikkowe, n’abagamba nti, “Lwaki omulembe guno gunoonya akabonero? Ddala ddala mbagamba nti, Tewali kabonero kajja kuweebwa mulembe guno.”
Sighing deeply in his spirit, he said, “Why does this generation ask for a sign? Truly I say to you, no sign will be given to this generation.”
13 N’abaviira n’asaabala mu lyato n’alaga ku ludda olulala olw’ennyanja.
Then he left them, got into the boat again, and went away to the other side of the sea.
14 Abayigirizwa beerabira okutwala emigaati egiwera; baalina omugaati gumu gwokka mu lyato.
Now the disciples had forgotten to bring bread, and they had nothing with them in the boat except for one loaf.
15 Yesu n’abakuutira nti, “Mwekuume ekizimbulukusa eky’Abafalisaayo n’ekizimbulukusa ekya Kerode.”
Then Jesus gave them strict orders, saying, “Watch out! Beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and the leaven of Herod.”
16 Ne boogeraganya bokka ne bokka nti tebalina migaati.
So they discussed this with one another, saying, “He must have said this because we have no bread.”
17 Yesu bwe yakimanya n’abagamba nti, “Lwaki mugambagana nti temulina migaati? Era temunnategeera? Emitima gyammwe gikyali mikakanyavu?
Aware of this, Jesus said to them, “Why are you discussing the fact that you have no bread? Do you not yet perceive or understand? Are your hearts still hardened?
18 Lwaki temulaba, ate nga mulina amaaso? Lwaki temuwulira ate nga mulina amatu? Temujjukira?
Having eyes do you not see, and 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 for the five thousand, how many baskets full of broken pieces did you pick up?” They said to 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.”
“And when I broke the seven loaves for the four thousand, how many baskets full of broken pieces did you pick up?” They said, “Seven.”
21 N’abagamba nti, “Era temunnategeera?”
Then he said to them, “How is it that you do not understand?”
22 Awo bwe baatuuka mu Besusayida, ne wabaawo abantu abaamuleetera omusajja omuzibe w’amaaso, ne bamwegayirira amukwateko.
When Jesus came to Bethsaida, some people brought to him a blind man and begged Jesus 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?”
So he took the blind man by the hand and led him out of the village. Then he spit on the man's eyes, laid his hands on him, and asked him if he saw anything.
24 Omusajja n’amagamaga, n’addamu nti, “Yee! Ndaba abantu kyokka balabika ng’emiti egitambula.”
The man looked up and said, “I can see people, but they look like trees walking around.”
25 Yesu n’ayongera okukwata ku maaso g’omusajja, omusajja n’azibuka amaaso n’awonera ddala buli kintu n’akiraba bulungi.
So Jesus put his hands on the man's eyes again and had him look up. Then the man's sight was restored, and he saw everyone clearly.
26 Yesu n’amutuma mu maka g’ewaabwe ng’amugamba nti, “Toddayo mu kyalo.”
And Jesus sent him away to his house, saying, “Do not go into the village or tell anyone in the village what has happened.”
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?”
Then Jesus went on to the villages of Caesarea Philippi along with his disciples. 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.”
They answered, “Some say John the Baptist, others say Elijah, and others say that yoʋ are 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?” Peter answered him, “Yoʋ are the Christ.”
30 Naye Yesu n’abakuutira baleme okukibuulirako omuntu yenna!
And Jesus warned them not to tell anyone 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.”
Then 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 that he must 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 was stating the matter plainly, so Peter took him aside 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 turning around and looking at his disciples, he rebuked Peter, saying, “Get behind me, Satan! For yoʋ are not thinking about the things of God, but the things of men.”
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.
Then he called the crowd over, along with his disciples, and said to them, “If anyone wants to be one of my disciples, he must deny himself, 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, but whoever loses his life for my sake and for the sake of the gospel will save it.
36 Kale omuntu agasibwa ki singa alya ensi yonna, naye n’afiirwa obulamu bwe?
For what will it benefit a person if he gains the whole world but forfeits his soul?
37 Omuntu ayinza kuweebwa ki, akiwanyise olw’obulamu bwe?
Or what can 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.”
If anyone is ashamed of me and my words in this adulterous and sinful generation, the Son of Man will also be ashamed of him when he comes in the glory of his Father with the holy angels.”
