Matayo 10
1 Awo Yesu n’ayita abayigirizwa be ekkumi n’ababiri, ne bajja gy’ali n’abawa obuyinza okugobanga baddayimooni, n’okuwonyanga buli ndwadde n’okukozimba ebya buli ngeri.
And having called to him his twelve disciples, he gave them power to expel unclean spirits, and to cure diseases and maladies of every kind.
2 Amannya g’abayigirizwa ekkumi n’ababiri ge gano: Simooni, ayitibwa Peetero; ne Andereya, muganda wa Peetero; ne Yakobo, omwana wa Zebbedaayo; ne Yokaana, muganda wa Yakobo;
Now these are the names of the twelve apostles: The first, Simon, called Peter, and Andrew his brother; James, son of Zebedee, and John his brother;
3 Firipo; ne Battolomaayo; ne Tomasi; ne Matayo, omusolooza w’omusolo; ne Yakobo, omwana wa Alufaayo; ne Saddayo;
Philip and Bartholomew; Thomas, and Matthew the publican; James, son of Alpheus, and Lebbeus, surnamed Thaddeus;
4 ne Simooni, Omukananaayo; ne Yuda Isukalyoti, eyalya mu Yesu olukwe.
and Simon the Canaanite, and Judas Iscariot, he who betrayed him.
5 Abo ekkumi n’ababiri Yesu n’abatuma ng’abalagira nti: “Temugenda eri bannamawanga wadde mu kibuga ky’Abasamaliya.
These twelve Jesus commissioned, instructing them, and saying: Go not away to the Gentiles, nor enter a Samaritan city;
6 Naye mugende eri abaana ba Isirayiri, endiga za Katonda ezaabula.
but go directly to the lost sheep of the stock of Israel.
7 Mugende mubabuulire nti, ‘Obwakabaka obw’omu ggulu busembedde.’
And as you go, proclaim, saying, The Reign of Heaven approaches.
8 Muwonye abalwadde, muzuukize abafu, mulongoose abagenge, era mugobe ne baddayimooni. Muweereddwa buwa nammwe muwenga buwa.
Heal the sick, raise the dead; cleanse lepers, expel demons; freely they have received, freely give.
9 “Temubanga na zaabu oba ffeeza wadde ekikomo mu nkoba zammwe,
Put not gold or silver, or brass in your girdles;
10 wadde ensawo ey’oku mugongo, wadde essaati ebbiri, wadde omugogo gw’engatto omulala, wadde omuggo. Kubanga omukozi asaanira okuweebwa eby’okumuyamba.
carry no traveling bag, no spare coat, shoes, or staff; for the workman is worthy of his maintenance.
11 Buli kibuga oba kyalo mwe mutuukanga, munoonyengamu amaka g’omuntu asaanidde, musulenga omwo okutuusa lwe mulivaayo.
And whatever city or village you enter, inquire what person of worth dwells there; and abide with him until you leave the place.
12 Bwe muyingiranga mu nnyumba mubeeyanjulire, amaka ago mugalagenga okwagala kwammwe.
When you enter the home, salute the family.
13 Amaka ago bwe gabanga ag’abantu abasaanidde, emirembe gyammwe ginaabeeranga ku bo, naye bwe gatabanga bwe gatyo emirembe gyammwe ginaabaddiranga.
If the family be worthy, the peace you wish them shall come upon them: if they be not worthy, it shall rebound upon yourselves.
14 Buli atabasembezenga wadde okuwuliriza ebigambo byammwe, bwe mubanga muva mu kibuga ekyo oba mu nnyumba eyo, mukunkumulanga enfuufuey’oku bigere byammwe.
Wheresoever they will not receive you, nor regard your words, in departing that house or city, shake the dust off your feet.
15 Ddala ddala mbagamba nti ensi ya Sodomu ne Ggomola ziriweebwa ekibonerezo ku lunaku olw’okusalirako omusango ekirigumiikirizika okukira ekibuga ekyo oba amaka ago.
Indeed, I say to you, the condition of Sodom and Gomorrah shall be more tolerable on the day of judgment, than the condition of that city.
16 “Laba mbatuma ng’endiga mu misege. Noolwekyo mubeere bagezigezi ng’emisota, era abataliiko kya kunenyezebwa ng’amayiba.
Behold! I send you forth as sheep amidst wolves. Be therefore prudent as the serpents, and harmless as the doves.
17 Mwekuume abantu! Kubanga balibawaayo eri enkiiko z’Abakadde, ne mu makuŋŋaaniro gaabwe, ne babakuba emigo.
But be upon your guard against these men; for they will deliver you to councils, and scourge you in their synagogues;
18 Mulitwalibwa mu maaso ga bagavana ne bakabaka ku lwange, okuba abajulirwa eri bo n’abannaggwanga.
and you shall be brought before governors and kings, on my account, to bear testimony to them, and to the Gentiles.
19 Bwe muweebwangayo, temweraliikiriranga kye munaawoza, kubanga kinaabaweebwanga mu kiseera ekyo.
But when they deliver you up, be not anxious how, or what you shall speak; for what you shall speak shall be suggested to you in that moment.
20 Kubanga si mmwe mugenda okwogera wabula Omwoyo wa Kitammwe y’alyogerera mu mmwe!
For it shall not be you that shall speak; but the Spirit of my Father, who will speak by you.
21 “Owooluganda aliwaayo muganda we okuttibwa era n’abazadde baliwaayo abaana baabwe okuttibwa. Abaana nabo balyefuukira bazadde baabwe ne babatta.
Then the brother will deliver up the brother to death; and the father the child; and children will arise against their parents, and procure their death.
22 Mulikyayibwa abantu bonna olw’erinnya lyange. Naye oyo aligumiikiriza okutuuka ku nkomerero alirokolebwa.
And for my name you shall be hated universally. But the man who perseveres to the end, shall be saved.
23 Bwe babayigganyanga mu kibuga ekimu muddukirenga mu kirala! Ddala ddala mbagamba nti muliba temunnabuna bibuga bya Isirayiri, Omwana w’Omuntu n’ajja.
Therefore, when they persecute you in one city, flee to another; for indeed, I say to you, you shall not have gone through the cities of Israel, till the Son of Man be come.
24 “Omuyigirizwa tasinga amusomesa, so n’omuddu tasinga mukama we.
A disciple is not above his teacher, nor a servant above his master.
25 Kirungi omuyigirizwa okuba ng’omusomesa we, n’omuddu okuba nga mukama we. Obanga nnannyinimu ayitibwa Beeruzebuli, tekisingawo nnyo ku b’omu nju ye.
It is enough for the disciple to be as his teacher, and for the servant to be as his master. If they have called the master of the house Beelzebub, how much more his domestics?
26 “Noolwekyo temubatyanga. Teri kyakisibwa ekitalimanyibwa, era tewali kyakwekebwa ekitalizuulibwa.
Therefore, fear them not; for there is nothing hid that shall not be detected; nothing secret that shall not be known.
27 Buli kye mbabuulira mu kizikiza mukyogereranga mu musana, na buli kye mbagamba mu kaama, nakyo mukyasanguzanga waggulu ku nnyumba.
What I tell you in the dark, publish in the light; and what is whispered in your ear, proclaim from the house tops.
28 Era temubatyanga abo abatta omubiri kubanga tebasobola kutta mwoyo! Naye mutyenga oyo yekka, ayinza okuzikiriza byombi omwoyo n’omubiri mu ggeyeena. (Geenna g1067)
And fear not them you kill the body, but can not kill the soul; rather fear him who can destroy both soul and body in hell. (Geenna g1067)
29 Enkazaluggya ebbiri tezigula sente emu? Naye tewali n’emu ku zo eyinza okuttibwa nga Kitammwe tamanyi.
Are not two sparrows sold for a penny? Yet neither of them falls to the ground without your Father.
30 Era buli luviiri oluli ku mitwe gyammwe lwabalibwa.
Nay, the very hairs of your head are all numbered.
31 Kale temweraliikiriranga kubanga mmwe muli ba muwendo munene eri Kitammwe okusinga enkazaluggya ennyingi.
Fear not, then; you are much more valuable than sparrows.
32 “Buli muntu alinjatulira mu maaso g’abantu, nange ndimwatulira mu maaso ga Kitange ali mu ggulu.
Whoever, therefore, shall acknowledge me before men, him will I also acknowledge before my Father, who is in heaven.
33 Na buli muntu alinneegaanira mu maaso g’abantu, nange ndimwegaanira mu maaso ga Kitange ali mu ggulu.
But whoever shall disown me before men, him will I also disown before my Father, who is in heaven.
34 “Temulowooza nti najja okuleeta emirembe ku nsi! Sajja kuleeta mirembe wabula ekitala.
Think not that I am come to bring peace to the earth. I came not to bring peace, but a sword.
35 Kubanga najja okwawukanya “‘omwana owoobulenzi ne kitaawe, n’omwana owoobuwala ne nnyina n’okwawukanya muka mwana ne nnyazaala we.
For I am come to cause dissension between father and son, between mother and daughter, between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law;
36 Abalabe b’omuntu banaabanga ba mu nju ye.’
so that a man's enemies will be found in his own family.
37 “Oyo ayagala kitaawe oba nnyina okusinga Nze tansaanira, n’oyo ayagala mutabani we oba muwala we okusinga Nze naye tansaanira.
He who loves father or mother more than me, is not worthy of me. He who loves son or daughter more than me, is not worthy of me.
38 N’oyo ateetikkenga musaalaba gwe n’angoberera tansaanira.
He who will not take his cross and follow me, is not worthy of me.
39 Omuntu ayagala ennyo obulamu bwe alibufiirwa, naye alifiirwa obulamu bwe ku lwange, alibulokola.
He who preserves his life, shall lose it: but he who loses his life, on my account, shall preserve it.
40 “Buli abasembeza, aba asembezezza Nze, ate asembeza Nze aba asembezezza oyo eyantuma.
He that receives you, receives me; and he that receives me, receives him who sent me, receives him who sent me.
41 Oyo asembeza nnabbi mu linnya lya nnabbi, alifuna empeera y’emu nga nnabbi. Era buli anaasembezanga omuntu omutuukirivu mu linnya ly’omuntu omutuukirivu, alifuna empeera y’emu ng’ey’omutuukirivu.
He that receives a prophet, because he is a prophet, shall obtain a prophet's reward; and he that receives a righteous man, because he is a righteous man, shall receive a righteous man's reward:
42 Ddala ddala mbagamba nti buli aliwa omu ku baana bano abato egiraasi y’amazzi agannyogoga olw’erinnya ly’omuyigiriza talirema kuweebwa mpeera ye.”
and whosoever shall give one of these little ones, because he is my disciple, a single cup of cold water to drink; indeed, I say to you, he shall not lose his reward.
