Makko 9
1 Awo Yesu n’abagamba nti, “Ddala ddala mbagamba nti, Abamu ku bantu abali wano tebalifa okuggyako nga bamaze okulaba obwakabaka bwa Katonda nga bujja n’amaanyi.”
And he said to them, “Amen I say to you, that there are some among those standing here who shall not taste death until they see the kingdom of God arriving in power.”
2 Bwe waayitawo ennaku mukaaga Yesu n’atwala Peetero ne Yakobo ne Yokaana n’abakulembera ne bagenda ku ntikko y’olusozi oluwanvu ne babeera eyo bokka. Amangwago n’afuusibwa nga balaba,
And after six days, Jesus took with him Peter, and James, and John; and he led them separately to a lofty mountain alone; and he was transfigured before them.
3 ebyambalo bye ne byeruka nnyo, nga tewali muntu ku nsi asobola kubyoza kubituusa awo!
And his vestments became radiant and exceedingly white like snow, with such a brilliance as no fuller on earth is able to achieve.
4 Awo Eriya ne Musa ne babalabikira ne batandika okwogera ne Yesu!
And there appeared to them Elijah with Moses; and they were speaking with Jesus.
5 Peetero n’agamba Yesu nti, “Labbi, kirungi tubeere wano, tubazimbire ensiisira ssatu, emu nga yiyo, n’endala nga ya Musa, n’endala nga ya Eriya.”
And in response, Peter said to Jesus: “Master, it is good for us to be here. And so let us make three tabernacles, one for you, and one for Moses, and one for Elijah.”
6 Yayogera atyo olw’okutya okungi okwabajjira.
For he did not know what he was saying. For they were overwhelmed by fear.
7 Awo ne walabika ekire, ne kibasaanikira ne muvaamu eddoboozi ne ligamba nti, “Ono ye Mwana wange omwagalwa. Mumuwulirirenga.”
And there was a cloud overshadowing them. And a voice came from the cloud, saying: “This is my most beloved Son. Listen to him.”
8 Amangwago okugenda okukyusa amaaso gaabwe nga tewali muntu mulala okuggyako Yesu eyaliwo yekka nabo.
And immediately, looking around, they no longer saw anyone, except Jesus alone with them.
9 Bwe baali baserengeta olusozi, Yesu n’abakuutira ekyo kye balabye obutakyogerangako okutuusa ng’Omwana w’Omuntu amaze okuzuukira mu bafu.
And as they were descending from the mountain, he instructed them not to relate to anyone what they had seen, until after the Son of man will have risen again from the dead.
10 Bwe batyo nabo ne bakikuuma nga kya kyama, naye ne beebuuzaganya ku by’okufa n’okuzuukira kwe.
And they kept the word to themselves, arguing about what “after he will have risen from the dead” might mean.
11 Awo ne bamubuuza nti, “Lwaki abannyonnyozi b’amateeka bagamba nti Eriya asaanira asooke okujja.”
And they questioned him, saying: “Then why do the Pharisees and the scribes say that Elijah must arrive first?”
12 Yesu n’abagamba nti, “Weewaawo Eriya y’ateekwa okusooka okujja alongoose ebintu byonna. Lwaki kyawandiikibwa ku Mwana w’Omuntu nti ateekwa okubonaabona ennyo n’okunyoomebwa?
And in response, he said to them: “Elijah, when he will arrive first, shall restore all things. And in the manner that it has been written about the Son of man, so must he suffer many things and be condemned.
13 Naye mbagamba nti, Ddala ddala Eriya yajja! Naye yayisibwa bubi nnyo, nga bwe baayagala, nga bwe kyawandiikibwa ku ye.”
But I say to you, that Elijah also has arrived, (and they have done to him whatever they wanted) just as it has been written about him.”
14 Yesu n’abayigirizwa bali abasatu bwe bakka eri bannaabwe okuva ku lusozi, ne basanga ekibiina kinene nga kyetoolodde bannaabwe, abannyonnyozi b’amateeka nga bawakana nabo.
And approaching his disciples, he saw a great crowd surrounding them, and the scribes were arguing with them.
15 Amangwago ekibiina kyonna bwe kyamulaba, ne badduka ne bagenda gy’ali ne bamwaniriza.
And soon all the people, seeing Jesus, were astonished and struck with fear, and hurrying to him, they greeted him.
16 Yesu n’ababuuza nti, “Kiki kye muwakana nabo?”
And he questioned them, “What are you arguing about among yourselves?”
17 Omu ku basajja abaali mu kibiina ne yeesowolayo n’agamba nti, “Omuyigiriza, naleese wano omwana wange omuwonye. Tayinza kwogera aliko omwoyo omubi.
And one from the crowd responded by saying: “Teacher, I have brought to you my son, who has a mute spirit.
18 Era buli lwe gumulumba gumusuula wansi, n’abimba ejjovu ku mimwa n’aluma amannyo, olwo yenna n’akakanyala. Nsabye abayigirizwa bo bagumugobeko, naye ne balemwa.”
And whenever it takes hold of him, it throws him down, and he foams and gnashes with his teeth, and he becomes unconscious. And I asked your disciples to cast him out, and they could not.”
19 Yesu n’agamba nti, “Mmwe, omulembe ogutakkiriza ndituusa ddi okubeera nammwe? Mbagumiikirize kutuusa ddi? Mumundeetere wano.”
And answering them, he said: “O unbelieving generation, how long must I be with you? How long shall I endure you? Bring him to me.”
20 Ne bamumuleetera. Omwoyo bwe gwamulaba ne gusikambula omulenzi, ne gumusuula wansi, nga bwe yeevulungula nga bw’abimba n’ejjovu ku mimwa.
And they brought him. And when he had seen him, immediately the spirit disturbed him. And having been thrown to the ground, he rolled around foaming.
21 Yesu n’abuuza kitaawe w’omwana nti, “Kino kimaze bbanga ki?” Kitaawe n’addamu nti, “Okuviira ddala mu buto.
And he questioned his father, “How long has this been happening to him?” But he said: “From infancy.
22 Oluusi gumusuula mu muliro oluusi mu mazzi nga gwagala okumutta. Obanga olina ky’osobola okutukolera, tusaasire.”
And often it casts him into fire or into water, in order to destroy him. But if you are able to do anything, help us and take pity on us.”
23 Yesu n’amuddamu nti, “Obanga osobola! Buli kimu kisoboka eri oyo akkiriza.”
But Jesus said to him, “If you are able to believe: all things are possible to one who believes.”
24 Amangwago Kitaawe w’omwana n’ayogerera waggulu nti, “Nzikiriza, naye nnyamba okukkiriza kwange kweyogereko!”
And immediately the father of the boy, crying out with tears, said: “I do believe, Lord. Help my unbelief.”
25 Yesu bwe yalaba ng’ekibiina kyeyongera obunene, n’aboggolera dayimooni nti, “Ggwe omwoyo omubi ogutayogera era omuggavu gw’amatu nkulagira muveeko, era tomuddiranga.”
And when Jesus saw the crowd rushing together, he admonished the unclean spirit, saying to him, “Deaf and mute spirit, I command you, leave him; and do not enter into him anymore.”
26 Awo omwoyo ne guwowoggana nnyo, ne gumusikambula nnyo, ne gumuvaako n’aba ng’afudde, bangi ne balowooza nti afudde.
And crying out, and convulsing him greatly, he departed from him. And he became like one who is dead, so much so that many said, “He is dead.”
27 Naye Yesu n’amukwata ku mukono n’amuyimiriza.
But Jesus, taking him by the hand, lifted him up. And he arose.
28 Awo Yesu bwe yayingira mu nnyumba abayigirizwa be, ne bamubuuza mu kyama nti, “Lwaki ffe tetwasobodde kumugoba?”
And when he had entered into the house, his disciples questioned him privately, “Why were we unable to cast him out?”
29 N’addamu nti, “Ogw’engeri eno teguyinza kugenda awatali kusaba.”
And he said to them, “This kind is able to be expelled by nothing other than prayer and fasting.”
30 Bwe baava mu bitundu ebyo ne bayita mu Ggaliraaya. Yesu yali tayagala muntu yenna kumanya.
And setting out from there, they passed through Galilee. And he intended that no one know about it.
31 Kubanga yali ayigiriza abayigirizwa ng’abagamba nti, “Omwana w’Omuntu, ajja kuliibwamu olukwe era ajja kuweebwayo mu mikono gy’abantu abalimutta era nga wayise ennaku ssatu alizuukira.”
Then he taught his disciples, and he said to them, “For the Son of man shall be delivered into the hands of men, and they will kill him, and having been killed, on the third day he will rise again.”
32 Wabula tebaategeera bye yayogera ate ne batya okumubuuza.
But they did not understand the word. And they were afraid to question him.
33 Awo ne batuuka e Kaperunawumu. Bwe baali mu nnyumba, n’ababuuza nti, “Mubadde muwakana ku ki mu kkubo?”
And they went to Capernaum. And when they were in the house, he questioned them, “What did you discuss on the way?”
34 Naye ne basirika kubanga mu kkubo baawakanira asinga ekitiibwa mu bo!
But they were silent. For indeed, on the way, they had disputed among themselves as to which of them was greater.
35 Awo bwe yatuula n’ayita ekkumi n’ababiri, n’abagamba nti, “Omuntu yenna bw’ayagala okuba oweekitiibwa okusinga banne, asaana yeetoowaze era abe omuweereza w’abalala.”
And sitting down, he called the twelve, and he said to them, “If anyone wants to be first, he shall be the last of all and the minister of all.”
36 N’addira omwana omuto n’amussa wakati waabwe, n’amusitula mu mikono gye n’abagamba nti,
And taking a child, he set him in their midst. And when he had embraced him, he said to them:
37 “Buli asembeza omwana omuto ng’ono mu linnya lyange, aba asembezezza nze. N’oyo asembeza nze aba tasembezezza nze nzekka, wabula aba asembezezza n’oyo eyantuma.”
“Whoever receives one such child in my name, receives me. And whoever receives me, receives not me, but him who sent me.”
38 Yokaana n’amugamba nti, “Omuyigiriza, twalaba omuntu ng’agoba baddayimooni mu linnya lyo, ne tumuziyiza kubanga tayita naffe.”
John responded to him by saying, “Teacher, we saw someone casting out demons in your name; he does not follow us, and so we prohibited him.”
39 Naye Yesu n’amuddamu nti, “Temumuziyizanga, kubanga tewali muntu n’omu akola ebikolwa eby’amaanyi mu linnya lyange ate amangwago n’anjogerako bibi.
But Jesus said: “Do not prohibit him. For there is no one who can act with virtue in my name and soon speak evil about me.
40 Kubanga buli atatuvuganya aba akolera wamu naffe.
For whoever is not against you is for you.
41 Buli abawa eggiraasi y’amazzi okunywako mu linnya lyange kubanga muli bantu ba Kristo, ddala ddala mbagamba nti talirema kuweebwa mpeera.”
For whoever, in my name, will give you a cup of water to drink, because you belong to Christ: Amen I say to you, he shall not lose his reward.
42 “Na buli alyesittaza omu ku bato bano abanzikiriza, ekyandisinze, kwe kumusiba ejjinja ery’olubengo olunene, n’asuulibwa mu nnyanja.
And whoever will have scandalized one of these little ones who believe in me: it would be better for him if a great millstone were placed around his neck and he were thrown into the sea.
43 Obanga omukono gwo gukwesittaza, gutemeko! Kisinga okuyingira mu bulamu ng’ogongobadde okusinga okuba n’emikono ebiri n’olaga mu ggeyeena, (Geenna g1067)
And if your hand causes you to sin, cut it off: it is better for you to enter into life disabled, than having two hands to go into Hell, into the unquenchable fire, (Geenna g1067)
44 mu muliro ogutazikira.
where their worm does not die, and the fire is not extinguished.
45 Era obanga ekigere kyo kikwesittaza, kitemeko; okuba omulema n’oyingira mu bulamu kisinga okuba n’ebigere ebibiri n’osuulibwa mu ggeyeena (Geenna g1067)
But if your foot causes you to sin, chop it off: it is better for you to enter into eternal life lame, than having two feet to be cast into the Hell of unquenchable fire, (Geenna g1067)
46 envunyu gye zitafa mu muliro ogutazikira.
where their worm does not die, and the fire is not extinguished.
47 Era obanga eriiso lyo likwesittaza, liggyeemu! Kisinga okuyingira mu bwakabaka bwa Katonda ng’oli wa liiso limu okusinga okubeera n’amaaso go gombi, (Geenna g1067)
But if your eye causes you to sin, pluck it out: it is better for you to enter into the kingdom of God with one eye, than having two eyes to be cast into the Hell of fire, (Geenna g1067)
48 n’osuulibwa mu ggeyeena, “envunyu gye zitafa n’omuliro gye gutazikira.
where their worm does not die, and the fire is not extinguished.
49 Buli muntu aliyisibwa mu muliro, ng’emmere bwerungibwamu omunnyo.”
For all shall be salted with fire, and every victim shall be salted with salt.
50 “Omunnyo mulungi, naye bwe guggwaamu ensa, guzzibwamu gutya obuka bwagwo? Noolwekyo mube n’omunnyo mu mmwe era mubeerenga n’emirembe buli muntu ne munne.”
Salt is good: but if the salt has become bland, with what will you season it? Have salt in yourselves, and have peace among yourselves.”
