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, “Truly I say to you, there are some standing here who will certainly not taste death until they see the kingdom of God come with 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,
After six days Jesus took Peter, James, and John, and led them up on a high mountain by themselves. There he was transfigured before them.
3 ebyambalo bye ne byeruka nnyo, nga tewali muntu ku nsi asobola kubyoza kubituusa awo!
His garments became radiant and extremely white, like snow, such as no launderer on earth could whiten them.
4 Awo Eriya ne Musa ne babalabikira ne batandika okwogera ne Yesu!
Then Elijah appeared to them with Moses, and they were talking 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.”
So Peter said to Jesus, “Rabbi, it is good for us to be here. Let us make three shelters, one for yoʋ, one for Moses, and one for Elijah.”
6 Yayogera atyo olw’okutya okungi okwabajjira.
(For they were terrified, and he did not know what to say.)
7 Awo ne walabika ekire, ne kibasaanikira ne muvaamu eddoboozi ne ligamba nti, “Ono ye Mwana wange omwagalwa. Mumuwulirirenga.”
Then a cloud came and overshadowed them, and a voice came from the cloud: “This is my beloved Son; listen to him!”
8 Amangwago okugenda okukyusa amaaso gaabwe nga tewali muntu mulala okuggyako Yesu eyaliwo yekka nabo.
And suddenly, when they looked around, they no longer saw anyone with them but Jesus.
9 Bwe baali baserengeta olusozi, Yesu n’abakuutira ekyo kye balabye obutakyogerangako okutuusa ng’Omwana w’Omuntu amaze okuzuukira mu bafu.
As they were coming down from the mountain, Jesus ordered them to tell no one what they had seen until the Son of Man had risen from the dead.
10 Bwe batyo nabo ne bakikuuma nga kya kyama, naye ne beebuuzaganya ku by’okufa n’okuzuukira kwe.
So they kept the matter to themselves, discussing what this “rising from the dead” could mean.
11 Awo ne bamubuuza nti, “Lwaki abannyonnyozi b’amateeka bagamba nti Eriya asaanira asooke okujja.”
Then they asked him, “Why do the scribes say that Elijah must come 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?
He answered them, “Elijah does indeed come first to restore all things. How then is it written that the Son of Man must suffer many things and be treated with contempt?
13 Naye mbagamba nti, Ddala ddala Eriya yajja! Naye yayisibwa bubi nnyo, nga bwe baayagala, nga bwe kyawandiikibwa ku ye.”
But I tell you that Elijah has indeed come, and they did to him whatever they wanted, just as it is 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.
When Jesus came back to the other disciples, he saw a large crowd around them, and some scribes arguing with them.
15 Amangwago ekibiina kyonna bwe kyamulaba, ne badduka ne bagenda gy’ali ne bamwaniriza.
When the whole crowd saw him, they were greatly amazed and immediately ran up and greeted him.
16 Yesu n’ababuuza nti, “Kiki kye muwakana nabo?”
Then he asked the scribes, “What are you arguing with them about?”
17 Omu ku basajja abaali mu kibiina ne yeesowolayo n’agamba nti, “Omuyigiriza, naleese wano omwana wange omuwonye. Tayinza kwogera aliko omwoyo omubi.
One man from among the crowd answered, “Teacher, I brought yoʋ my son, who has a spirit that makes him mute.
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.”
Whenever it seizes him, it throws him down, and he foams at the mouth, grinds his teeth, and becomes rigid. I asked yoʋr disciples to cast it out, but they were not able to do so.”
19 Yesu n’agamba nti, “Mmwe, omulembe ogutakkiriza ndituusa ddi okubeera nammwe? Mbagumiikirize kutuusa ddi? Mumundeetere wano.”
Jesus answered him, “O faithless generation, how long shall I be with you? How long shall I bear with 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.
So they brought the boy to him. When the spirit saw Jesus, it immediately threw the boy into convulsions, and he fell on the ground and rolled around, foaming at the mouth.
21 Yesu n’abuuza kitaawe w’omwana nti, “Kino kimaze bbanga ki?” Kitaawe n’addamu nti, “Okuviira ddala mu buto.
Then Jesus asked the boy's father, “How long has this been happening to him?” The father said, “From childhood.
22 Oluusi gumusuula mu muliro oluusi mu mazzi nga gwagala okumutta. Obanga olina ky’osobola okutukolera, tusaasire.”
It often throws him into the fire and into the water, to destroy him. But if yoʋ are able to do anything, help us and have compassion on us.”
23 Yesu n’amuddamu nti, “Obanga osobola! Buli kimu kisoboka eri oyo akkiriza.”
Jesus said to him, “The question is whether yoʋ are able to believe. All things are possible for the one who believes.”
24 Amangwago Kitaawe w’omwana n’ayogerera waggulu nti, “Nzikiriza, naye nnyamba okukkiriza kwange kweyogereko!”
Immediately the child's father cried out and said with tears, “I 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.”
When Jesus saw that a crowd came running together, he rebuked the unclean spirit and said to it, “Yoʋ spirit that makes this boy mute and deaf, I command yoʋ, come out of him and never enter him again!”
26 Awo omwoyo ne guwowoggana nnyo, ne gumusikambula nnyo, ne gumuvaako n’aba ng’afudde, bangi ne balowooza nti afudde.
After crying out, the spirit convulsed the boy greatly and came out, and the boy became as though he were dead, so that many said, “He is dead!”
27 Naye Yesu n’amukwata ku mukono n’amuyimiriza.
But Jesus took him by the hand and raised him up, and the boy arose.
28 Awo Yesu bwe yayingira mu nnyumba abayigirizwa be, ne bamubuuza mu kyama nti, “Lwaki ffe tetwasobodde kumugoba?”
Now when Jesus came into the house, his disciples asked him privately, “Why could we not cast it out?”
29 N’addamu nti, “Ogw’engeri eno teguyinza kugenda awatali kusaba.”
He said to them, “This kind cannot come out by anything except prayer and fasting.”
30 Bwe baava mu bitundu ebyo ne bayita mu Ggaliraaya. Yesu yali tayagala muntu yenna kumanya.
Then they went away from there and passed through Galilee, but Jesus did not want anyone to know 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.”
For he was teaching his disciples and telling them, “The Son of Man is going to be delivered up into the hands of men, and they will kill him. Yet after he has been killed, he will rise on the third day.”
32 Wabula tebaategeera bye yayogera ate ne batya okumubuuza.
But they did not understand what this meant, and they were afraid to ask him about it.
33 Awo ne batuuka e Kaperunawumu. Bwe baali mu nnyumba, n’ababuuza nti, “Mubadde muwakana ku ki mu kkubo?”
Then Jesus came to Capernaum, and when he was in the house, he asked the disciples, “What were you discussing among yourselves on the way?”
34 Naye ne basirika kubanga mu kkubo baawakanira asinga ekitiibwa mu bo!
But they were silent, because on the way they had been arguing with one another about who 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.”
So Jesus sat down, called the twelve over, and said to them, “If anyone wants to be first, he must be last of all and a servant to all.”
36 N’addira omwana omuto n’amussa wakati waabwe, n’amusitula mu mikono gye n’abagamba nti,
Then he took a child and placed him before them. And taking the child in his arms, 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 child such as this 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 said to him in response, “Teacher, we saw someone who does not follow us casting out demons in yoʋr name, and we told him to stop because he does not follow us.”
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 stop him, for no one who does a miracle in my name will be able to speak evil of me soon afterward.
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.”
Truly I say to you, whoever gives you a cup of water to drink in my name, because you belong to Christ, will certainly not lose his reward.
42 “Na buli alyesittaza omu ku bato bano abanzikiriza, ekyandisinze, kwe kumusiba ejjinja ery’olubengo olunene, n’asuulibwa mu nnyanja.
“If anyone causes one of these little ones who believe in me to stumble, it would be better for him if a millstone were hung 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)
If yoʋr hand causes yoʋ to stumble, cut it off. It is better for yoʋ to enter life crippled than to have two hands and go into hell, into the unquenchable fire, (Geenna g1067)
44 mu muliro ogutazikira.
‘where their worm does not die and the fire is not quenched.’
45 Era obanga ekigere kyo kikwesittaza, kitemeko; okuba omulema n’oyingira mu bulamu kisinga okuba n’ebigere ebibiri n’osuulibwa mu ggeyeena (Geenna g1067)
And if yoʋr foot causes yoʋ to stumble, cut it off. It is better for yoʋ to enter life lame than to have two feet and be thrown into hell, into the unquenchable fire, (Geenna g1067)
46 envunyu gye zitafa mu muliro ogutazikira.
‘where their worm does not die and the fire is not quenched.’
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)
And if yoʋr eye causes yoʋ to stumble, tear it out. It is better for yoʋ to enter the kingdom of God with one eye than to have two eyes and be thrown into the fires of hell, (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 quenched.’
49 Buli muntu aliyisibwa mu muliro, ng’emmere bwerungibwamu omunnyo.”
For everyone will be salted with fire, and every sacrifice will be seasoned 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 it becomes unsalty, with what shall you season it? Have salt in yourselves, and be at peace with one another.”
