Matayo 12
1 Awo mu kiseera ekyo Yesu n’ayita mu nnimiro y’emmere ey’empeke ku lunaku lwa Ssabbiiti. Abayigirizwa be ne balumwa enjala ne batandika okunoga ebirimba by’eŋŋaano ne babirya.
At that time Jesus went on the sabbath day through the corn; and his disciples were an hungred, and began to pluck the ears of corn, and to eat.
2 Naye Abafalisaayo bwe baalaba kino ne bagamba Yesu nti, “Laba abayigirizwa bo bakola ekitakkirizibwa kukolebwa ku Ssabbiiti.”
But when the Pharisees saw [it], they said unto him, Behold, thy disciples do that which is not lawful to do upon the sabbath day.
3 Naye Yesu n’abaddamu nti, “Temusomanga ku Dawudi kye yakola bwe yalumwa enjala ne be yali nabo?
But he said unto them, Have ye not read what David did, when he was an hungred, and they that were with him;
4 Yayingira mu nnyumba ya Katonda n’alya emigaati egy’okulaga, egikkirizibwa bakabona bokka okulya.
How he entered into the house of God, and did eat the shewbread, which was not lawful for him to eat, neither for them which were with him, but only for the priests?
5 Oba temusomanga mu mateeka nti bakabona ababeera mu luwalo lw’okuweereza mu Yeekaalu ne basobya ku Ssabbiiti tebaliiko musango?
Or have ye not read in the law, how that on the sabbath days the priests in the temple profane the sabbath, and are blameless?
6 Naye mbagamba nti ekisinga Yeekaalu kiri wano.
But I say unto you, That in this place is [one] greater than the temple.
7 Naye singa mumanyi amakulu ga kino nti, ‘Njagala mubeerenga ba kisa okusinga okuwangayo ssaddaaka,’ temwandinenyezza bataliiko musango.
But if ye had known what [this] meaneth, I will have mercy, and not sacrifice, ye would not have condemned the guiltless.
8 Kubanga Omwana w’Omuntu ye Mukama wa Ssabbiiti.”
For the Son of man is Lord even of the sabbath day.
9 N’avaayo n’ajja mu kuŋŋaaniro lyabwe.
And when he was departed thence, he went into their synagogue:
10 Laba mwalimu omusajja eyalina omukono ogwakala. Ne babuuza Yesu obanga kikkirizibwa okuwonya ku Ssabbiiti. Baali basuubira nti anaddamu nti kituufu, balyoke bamuwawaabire.
And, behold, there was a man which had [his] hand withered. And they asked him, saying, Is it lawful to heal on the sabbath days? that they might accuse him.
11 Naye n’abaddamu nti, “Singa wabaddewo omuntu mu mmwe ng’alina endiga emu, n’egwa mu bunnya ku lunaku lwa Ssabbiiti, tagiggyamu?
And he said unto them, What man shall there be among you, that shall have one sheep, and if it fall into a pit on the sabbath day, will he not lay hold on it, and lift [it] out?
12 Kale, omuntu tasinga nnyo endiga omuwendo? Noolwekyo kikkirizibwa okukola ekirungi ku Ssabbiiti.”
How much then is a man better than a sheep? Wherefore it is lawful to do well on the sabbath days.
13 Bw’atyo n’agamba omusajja nti, “Golola omukono gwo.” N’agugolola ne guwona, ne guba mulamu nga gunnaagwo!
Then saith he to the man, Stretch forth thine hand. And he stretched [it] forth; and it was restored whole, like as the other.
14 Awo Abafalisaayo ne bafuluma ne bateesa nga bwe banaazikiriza Yesu.
Then the Pharisees went out, and held a council against him, how they might destroy him.
15 Naye Yesu bwe yakimanya n’afuluma mu kuŋŋaaniro, abantu bangi nnyo ne bamugoberera, n’awonya abaali abalwadde bonna,
But when Jesus knew [it], he withdrew himself from thence: and great multitudes followed him, and he healed them all;
16 kyokka n’abakomako baleme okumwatuukiriza.
And charged them that they should not make him known:
17 Ebyayogerwa Nnabbi Isaaya biryoke bituukirire nti:
That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Esaias the prophet, saying,
18 “Laba Omuweereza wange, ggwe neerondera, gwe njagala ennyo asanyusa emmeeme yange. Ndimuteekako Omwoyo wange era Alisalira amawanga gonna emisango.
Behold my servant, whom I have chosen; my beloved, in whom my soul is well pleased: I will put my spirit upon him, and he shall shew judgment to the Gentiles.
19 Taliyomba so talireekaana, era tewaliba n’omu aliwulira eddoboozi lye mu nguudo.
He shall not strive, nor cry; neither shall any man hear his voice in the streets.
20 Talimenya lumuli lunafu, wadde okuzikiriza olutambi lw’ettaala olunyooka.
A bruised reed shall he not break, and smoking flax shall he not quench, till he send forth judgment unto victory.
21 Era abamawanga baliba n’essuubi mu linnya lye.”
And in his name shall the Gentiles trust.
22 Awo Yesu ne bamuleetera omusajja eyaliko dayimooni, nga muzibe w’amaaso era nga tayogera. N’amuwonya, omusajja eyali tasobola kwogera n’asobola okwogera n’okulaba.
Then was brought unto him one possessed with a devil, blind, and dumb: and he healed him, insomuch that the blind and dumb both spake and saw.
23 Abantu bonna ne beewuunya ne boogera nti, “Ddala ddala ono si mwana wa Dawudi?”
And all the people were amazed, and said, Is not this the son of David?
24 Naye Abafalisaayo bwe baakiwulira ne boogera nti, “Ono agoba baddayimooni ku bwa Beeruzebuli omukulu wa baddayimooni.”
But when the Pharisees heard [it], they said, This [fellow] doth not cast out devils, but by Beelzebub the prince of the devils.
25 Yesu bwe yategeera ebirowoozo byabwe n’abagamba nti, “Obwakabaka bwe bwawukanamu, oba ekibuga wadde amaka, tebiyinza kuyimirira.
And Jesus knew their thoughts, and said unto them, Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation; and every city or house divided against itself shall not stand:
26 Ne Setaani bw’agoba Setaani munne ku muntu aba yeyawuddemu. Obwakabaka bwe bunaayimirira butya?
And if Satan cast out Satan, he is divided against himself; how shall then his kingdom stand?
27 Obanga Nze ngoba baddayimooni ku bwa Beeruzebuli omukulu wa baddayimooni, kale batabani bammwe babagoba ku bw’ani? Noolwekyo be bali basalira omusango.
And if I by Beelzebub cast out devils, by whom do your children cast [them] out? therefore they shall be your judges.
28 Naye bwe mba ngoba baddayimooni n’amaanyi g’Omwoyo wa Katonda, kale Obwakabaka bwa Katonda buzze gye muli.
But if I cast out devils by the Spirit of God, then the kingdom of God is come unto you.
29 “Oba omuntu ayinza atya okuyingira mu nnyumba y’omuntu ow’amaanyi, n’amunyagako ebintu bye okuggyako ng’asooka okusiba ow’amaanyi oyo? Olwo n’alyoka anyaga ebintu bye.
Or else how can one enter into a strong man’s house, and spoil his goods, except he first bind the strong man? and then he will spoil his house.
30 “Oyo atali nange, mulabe wange. N’oyo atakuŋŋaanyiza wamu nange asaasaanya.
He that is not with me is against me; and he that gathereth not with me scattereth abroad.
31 Noolwekyo mbategeereza ddala nti omuntu alisonyiyibwa buli kibi kyonna, na buli kuvvoola. Naye alivvoola Mwoyo Mutukuvu talisonyiyibwa.
Wherefore I say unto you, All manner of sin and blasphemy shall be forgiven unto men: but the blasphemy [against] the [Holy] Ghost shall not be forgiven unto men.
32 Na buli muntu ayogera ekigambo ekibi ku Mwana w’Omuntu alisonyiyibwa, naye ayogera ekibi ku Mwoyo Omutukuvu talisonyiyibwa mu mulembe guno wadde ogugenda okujja. (aiōn g165)
And whosoever speaketh a word against the Son of man, it shall be forgiven him: but whosoever speaketh against the Holy Ghost, it shall not be forgiven him, neither in this world, neither in the [world] to come. (aiōn g165)
33 “Buli muti gutegeererwa ku bibala byagwo. Omuti bw’ogulabirira gubala ebibala ebirungi, naye bw’ogulagajjalira tegubala bibala.
Either make the tree good, and his fruit good; or else make the tree corrupt, and his fruit corrupt: for the tree is known by [his] fruit.
34 Mmwe abaana b’embalasaasa, mmwe abalina ebibi muyinza mutya okwogera ebirungi? Akamwa koogera ku biba bijjudde mu mutima.
O generation of vipers, how can ye, being evil, speak good things? for out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh.
35 Omuntu omulungi afulumya ebirungi okuva mu tterekero lye eddungi, era n’omuntu omubi afulumya ebibi okuva mu tterekero lye ebbi.
A good man out of the good treasure of the heart bringeth forth good things: and an evil man out of the evil treasure bringeth forth evil things.
36 Era mbategeeza nti buli kigambo kyonna ekitasaana abantu kye boogera, kiribabuuzibwa ku lunaku olw’okusalirako emisango.
But I say unto you, That every idle word that men shall speak, they shall give account thereof in the day of judgment.
37 Bwe bityo ebigambo byo bye birikuweesa obutuukirivu era ebigambo byo bye birikusalizisa omusango.”
For by thy words thou shalt be justified, and by thy words thou shalt be condemned.
38 Awo abamu ku bannyonnyozi b’amateeka n’Abafalisaayo ne bagamba Yesu nti, “Omuyigiriza twagala otulage akabonero.”
Then certain of the scribes and of the Pharisees answered, saying, Master, we would see a sign from thee.
39 Naye n’abaddamu nti, “Omulembe omwonoonefu era omwenzi ogunoonya akabonero; temugenda kuweebwa kabonero okuggyako aka nnabbi Yona.
But he answered and said unto them, An evil and adulterous generation seeketh after a sign; and there shall no sign be given to it, but the sign of the prophet Jonas:
40 Kubanga Yona nga bwe yamala mu lubuto lw’ekyennyanja ekinene ennaku ssatu emisana n’ekiro, n’Omwana w’Omuntu bw’atyo bw’alimala mu ttaka ennaku ssatu emisana n’ekiro.
For as Jonas was three days and three nights in the whale’s belly; so shall the Son of man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth.
41 Abantu b’e Nineeve baliyimirira ne basaliza abantu b’omulembe guno omusango okubasinga, kubanga beenenya bwe baawulira okubuulira kwa Yona. Naye laba asinga Yona ali wano.
The men of Nineveh shall rise in judgment with this generation, and shall condemn it: because they repented at the preaching of Jonas; and, behold, a greater than Jonas [is] here.
42 Era ku lunaku olw’okusalirako omusango, kabaka omukazi ow’omu bukiikaddyo alisaliza abantu ab’omulembe guno omusango okubasinga, kubanga yava ku nkomerero y’ensi okujja okuwuliriza amagezi ga Sulemaani. Naye laba asinga Sulemaani ali wano.
The queen of the south shall rise up in the judgment with this generation, and shall condemn it: for she came from the uttermost parts of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon; and, behold, a greater than Solomon [is] here.
43 “Omwoyo ogutali mulongoofu bwe guva mu muntu guyita mu malungu nga gunoonya aw’okuwumulirako, ne gutafuna wa kuwummulira.
When the unclean spirit is gone out of a man, he walketh through dry places, seeking rest, and findeth none.
44 Kyeguva gugamba nti, ‘Leka nzireyo mu nnyumba mwe nava.’ Bwe guddayo gusanga nkalu, nga eyereddwa era nga ntegeke.
Then he saith, I will return into my house from whence I came out; and when he is come, he findeth [it] empty, swept, and garnished.
45 Kyeguva gugenda ne guleeta emyoyo emirala musanvu egigusingako obwonoonefu, ne giyingira mu nnyumba omwo ne gibeera omwo. Olwo omuntu oyo n’abeera bubi nnyo okusinga bwe yali okusooka. Bwe kityo bwe kiriba n’omulembe guno omwonoonefu.”
Then goeth he, and taketh with himself seven other spirits more wicked than himself, and they enter in and dwell there: and the last [state] of that man is worse than the first. Even so shall it be also unto this wicked generation.
46 Yesu bwe yali akyayogera n’ekibiina, nnyina ne baganda be ne batuuka ne bayimirira ebweru nga baagala okwogera naye.
While he yet talked to the people, behold, [his] mother and his brethren stood without, desiring to speak with him.
47 Omuntu omu n’amutegeeza nti, “Nnyoko ne baganda bo, bali wabweru baagala kwogera nawe.”
Then one said unto him, Behold, thy mother and thy brethren stand without, desiring to speak with thee.
48 Yesu n’amuddamu nti, “Mmange ye ani era ne baganda bange be baani?”
But he answered and said unto him that told him, Who is my mother? and who are my brethren?
49 N’agolola omukono gwe eri abayigirizwa be n’agamba nti, “Mulabe mmange ne baganda bange!
And he stretched forth his hand toward his disciples, and said, Behold my mother and my brethren!
50 Kubanga buli akola ebyo Kitange ali mu ggulu by’ayagala oyo ye muganda wange, ye mwannyinaze era ye mmange.”
For whosoever shall do the will of my Father which is in heaven, the same is my brother, and sister, and mother.
