Matayo 13
1 Ku lunaku olwo Yesu n’afuluma mu nnyumba n’agenda n’atuula ku lubalama lw’ennyanja.
And that [same] day Jesus went out from the house and sat down by the sea.
2 Ekibiina kinene ne kimukuŋŋaanirako. Kwe kuyingira mu lyato n’atuula omwo abantu bonna ne bayimirira ku lubalama.
And great crowds were gathered together to him, so that going on board ship himself he sat down, and the whole crowd stood on the shore.
3 N’ababuulira ebintu bingi mu ngero ng’agamba nti, “Omulimi yali asiga ensigo mu nnimiro ye.
And he spoke to them many things in parables, saying, Behold, the sower went out to sow:
4 Bwe yagenda ng’amansa ensigo, ezimu ne zigwa ku mabbali g’ekkubo, ennyonyi ne zijja ne zizirya.
and as he sowed, some [grains] fell along the way, and the birds came and devoured them;
5 Endala ne zigwa ku lwazi okutali ttaka lingi era ne zimera mangu kubanga ettaka teryali ggwanvu.
and others fell upon the rocky places where they had not much earth, and immediately they sprang up out of [the ground] because of not having [any] depth of earth,
6 Naye omusana bwe gwayaka ne ziwotoka kubanga emirandira gyazo gyali kumpi.
but when the sun rose they were burned up, and because of not having [any] root were dried up;
7 Endala ne zigwa mu maggwa, bwe zaamera amaggwa nago ne gakula ne gazisinga amaanyi, obulimi obwali bwakamera ne bukala.
and others fell upon the thorns, and the thorns grew up and choked them;
8 Endala ne zigwa ku ttaka eddungi, ne zimera ne zibala bulungi, ne zivaamu emirundi amakumi asatu, n’endala emirundi nkaaga n’endala emirundi kikumi.
and others fell upon the good ground, and produced fruit, one a hundred, one sixty, and one thirty.
9 Alina amatu agawulira, awulire.”
He that has ears, let him hear.
10 Abayigirizwa be ne bamusemberera ne bamubuuza nti, “Lwaki oyogera nabo mu ngero?”
And the disciples came up and said to him, Why speakest thou to them in parables?
11 N’abaddamu nti, “Mmwe mulina omukisa kubanga mwaweebwa okutegeera ebyama eby’obwakabaka obw’omu ggulu, naye bo tebaakiweebwa.
And he answering said to them, Because to you it is given to know the mysteries of the kingdom of the heavens, but to them it is not given;
12 Kubanga buli alina alyongerwako abeerere ddala na bingi, naye oyo atalina aliggyibwako n’ako akatono k’alina.
for whoever has, to him shall be given, and he shall be caused to be in abundance; but he who has not, even what he has shall be taken away from him.
13 Kyenva njigiriza mu ngero: “Abalaba baleme okulaba, n’abawulira baleme okuwulira wadde okutegeera.
For this cause I speak to them in parables, because seeing they do not see, and hearing they do not hear nor understand;
14 Kino kituukiriza nnabbi Isaaya kye yagamba nti, “‘Muliwulira naye temulitegeera n’okulaba muliraba naye temulimanya.
and in them is filled up the prophecy of Esaias, which says, Hearing ye shall hear and shall not understand, and beholding ye shall behold and not see;
15 Kubanga omutima gw’abantu bano gwesibye, n’amatu gaabwe tegawulira bulungi. N’amaaso gaabwe gazibiridde baleme okulaba n’amaaso wadde okuwulira n’amatu, wadde omutima gwabwe okutegeera, ne bakyuka ne mbawonya.’
for the heart of this people has grown fat, and they have heard heavily with their ears, and they have closed their eyes as asleep, lest they should see with the eyes, and hear with the ears, and understand with the heart, and should be converted, and I should heal them.
16 Naye amaaso gammwe galina omukisa, kubanga galaba, n’amatu gammwe kubanga gawulira.
But blessed are your eyes because they see, and your ears because they hear;
17 Ddala ddala mbagamba nti, Waaliwo bannabbi bangi, n’abatuukirivu bangi abeegombanga okulaba ku bino bye mulaba, n’okuwulira bye muwulira kyokka ne batafuna mukisa ogwo.
for verily I say unto you, that many prophets and righteous [men] have desired to see the things which ye behold and did not see [them], and to hear the things which ye hear and did not hear [them].
18 “Noolwekyo muwulirize olugero lw’omulimi eyasiga ensigo.
Ye, therefore, hear the parable of the sower.
19 Ensigo eyagwa ku mabbali g’ekkubo efaanana ng’omuntu awulira ekigambo kya Katonda n’atakitegeera era omulabe Setaani n’ajja n’akimusikulako okuva ku mutima.
From every one who hears the word of the kingdom and does not understand [it], the wicked one comes and catches away what was sown in his heart: this is he that is sown by the wayside.
20 Ensigo eyagwa ku byaziyazi efaanana ng’omuntu awulira ekigambo, amangwago n’akyaniriza n’essanyu,
But he that is sown on the rocky places — this is he who hears the word and immediately receives it with joy,
21 naye olw’okuba nga talina mmizi mu ye, wa kaseera buseera, ennaku n’okuyigganyizibwa bwe bijja olw’ekigambo, amangwago n’agwa.
but has no root in himself, but is for a time only; and when tribulation or persecution happens on account of the word, he is immediately offended.
22 N’ensigo eyagwa mu maggwa efaanana ng’omuntu awulira ekigambo naye okweraliikirira kw’ebintu by’ensi n’obugagga obutaliimu ne bibuutikira ekigambo ne kitabala bibala. (aiōn g165)
And he that is sown among the thorns — this is he who hears the word, and the anxious care of this life, and the deceit of riches choke the word, and he becomes unfruitful. (aiōn g165)
23 Naye ensigo eyagwa ku ttaka eddungi efaanana ng’omuntu awulira ekigambo n’akitegeera, n’abalira ddala ebibala, n’abala ebibala amakumi asatu, oba nkaaga oba kikumi.”
But he that is sown upon the good ground — this is he who hears and understands the word, who bears fruit also, and produces, one a hundred, one sixty, and one thirty.
24 N’abagerera olugero olulala nti, “Obwakabaka obw’omu ggulu bufaanana n’omuntu eyasiga ensigo ennungi mu nnimiro ye,
Another parable set he before them, saying, The kingdom of the heavens has become like a man sowing good seed in his field;
25 naye ekiro nga yeebase abasajja abalabe ne bajja ne basiga omuddo wakati mu ŋŋaano ye ne bagenda.
but while men slept, his enemy came and sowed darnel amongst the wheat, and went away.
26 Naye eŋŋaano ennungi bwe yamera, n’omuddo ne gumerera wamu nayo.
But when the blade shot up and produced fruit, then appeared the darnel also.
27 “Naye abaddu b’omwami w’ennyumba bwe baamusemberera ne bamugamba nti, ‘Mukama waffe, tewasiga nsigo nnungi mu nnimiro yo? Naye ate omuddo guvudde wa?’
And the bondmen of the householder came up and said to him, Sir, hast thou not sown good seed in thy field? whence then has it darnel?
28 “Ye n’abaddamu nti, ‘Omulabe ye yakola ekyo.’ Abaddu kyebaava bamubuuza nti, ‘Tugende tugukoolemu?’
And he said to them, A man [that is] an enemy has done this. And the bondmen said to him, Wilt thou then that we should go and gather it [up]?
29 “N’abaddamu nti, ‘Nedda, kubanga bwe munaaba mukuulamu omuddo mujja kukuuliramu n’eŋŋaano.
But he said, No; lest [in] gathering the darnel ye should root up the wheat with it.
30 Kale mubireke byonna bikulire wamu, okukungula bwe kulituuka ne ndyoka ndagira abakunguzi basooke bakuŋŋaanye omuddo bagusibeko n’oluvannyuma bagwokye, naye yo eŋŋaano bagikuŋŋaanyize mu tterekero lyange.’”
Suffer both to grow together unto the harvest, and in time of the harvest I will say to the harvestmen, Gather first the darnel, and bind it into bundles to burn it; but the wheat bring together into my granary.
31 N’abagerera olugero olulala ng’agamba nti, “Obwakabaka obw’omu ggulu bufaanana ng’akaweke ka kaladaali, omusajja ke yasiga mu nnimiro.
Another parable set he before them, saying, The kingdom of the heavens is like a grain of mustard [seed] which a man took and sowed in his field;
32 Kaladaali kaweke katono nnyo okusinga ensigo endala zonna. Naye bwe kasimbibwa ne kakula kavaamu omuti omunene ennyo, n’ennyonyi ez’omu bbanga ne zijja ne zibeera ku matabi gaagwo.”
which is less indeed than all seeds, but when it is grown is greater than herbs, and becomes a tree, so that the birds of heaven come and roost in its branches.
33 N’abongerayo olugero olulala nti, “Obwakabaka obw’omu ggulu buyinza okugeraageranyizibwa n’ekizimbulukusa omukazi kye yakweka mu buwunga bw’eŋŋaano, n’apima ebigero bisatu okutuusa lwe bwazimbulukuka bwonna.”
He spoke another parable to them: The kingdom of the heavens is like leaven, which a woman took and hid in three measures of meal until it had been all leavened.
34 Bino byonna Yesu yabyogerera mu ngero eri ebibiina era teyayogera gye bali awatali ngero.
All these things Jesus spoke to the crowds in parables, and without a parable he did not speak to them,
35 Ekyayogerwa nnabbi ne kiryoka kituukirira nti, “Ndyogerera mu ngero, njogere ebintu ebyakwekebwa okuva ku kutondebwa kw’ensi.”
so that that should be fulfilled which was spoken through the prophet, saying, I will open my mouth in parables; I will utter things hidden from [the] world's foundation.
36 Awo bwe yamala okusiibula ekibiina n’ayingira mu nnyumba, abayigirizwa be ne bamusemberera ne bamusaba abannyonnyole amakulu g’olugero lw’omuddo ogwali mu nnimiro.
Then, having dismissed the crowds, he went into the house; and his disciples came to him, saying, Expound to us the parable of the darnel of the field.
37 N’abannyonnyola ng’agamba nti, “Omwana w’Omuntu ye yasiga ensigo ennungi.
But he answering said, He that sows the good seed is the Son of man,
38 Ennimiro y’ensi, n’ensigo ennungi be baana b’obwakabaka, naye omuddo be baana ba Setaani.
and the field is the world; and the good seed, these are the sons of the kingdom, but the darnel are the sons of the evil [one];
39 Omulabe eyasiga ensigo ez’omuddo ye Setaani, amakungula y’enkomerero y’ensi n’abakunguzi be bamalayika. (aiōn g165)
and the enemy who has sowed it is the devil; and the harvest is [the] completion of [the] age, and the harvestmen are angels. (aiōn g165)
40 “Noolwekyo ng’omuddo bwe gwakuŋŋaanyizibwa ne gwokebwa mu muliro, bwe kityo bwe kiriba ku nkomerero y’ensi. (aiōn g165)
As then the darnel is gathered and is burned in the fire, thus it shall be in the completion of the age. (aiōn g165)
41 Omwana w’Omuntu alituma bamalayika be mu bwakabaka bakuŋŋaanye ebintu byonna ebyesittaza, n’abajeemu,
The Son of man shall send his angels, and they shall gather out of his kingdom all offences, and those that practise lawlessness;
42 babasuule mu nkoomi y’omuliro. Omwo mwe muliba okukaaba n’okuluma obujiji.
and they shall cast them into the furnace of fire; there shall be the weeping and the gnashing of teeth.
43 Naye abatuukirivu balyakaayakana ng’enjuba mu bwakabaka bwa Kitaabwe. Alina amatu agawulira, awulire.
Then the righteous shall shine forth as the sun in the kingdom of their Father. He that has ears, let him hear.
44 “Obwakabaka obw’omu ggulu bufaanana n’ekyobugagga ekyakwekebwamu nnimiro omuntu omu bwe yakigwikiriza. Olw’essanyu lye yafuna n’agenda n’atunda bye yalina byonna, n’agula ennimiro eyo.
The kingdom of the heavens is like a treasure hid in the field, which a man having found has hid, and for the joy of it goes and sells all whatever he has, and buys that field.
45 “Ate era obwakabaka obw’omu ggulu bufaanana ng’omusuubuzi w’amayinja ag’omuwendo omungi eyali anoonya amayinja ag’omuwendo,
Again, the kingdom of the heavens is like a merchant seeking beautiful pearls;
46 bwe yazuula ejjinja erimu ery’omuwendo n’agenda n’atunda bye yalina byonna n’aligula.
and having found one pearl of great value, he went and sold all whatever he had and bought it.
47 “Era obwakabaka obw’omu ggulu bufaanana ng’akatimba akategebwa mu nnyanja ne kakwasa ebyennyanja ebya buli ngeri,
Again, the kingdom of the heavens is like a seine which has been cast into the sea, and which has gathered together of every kind,
48 akatimba bwe kajjula ne bakawalulira ku lubalama ne balondamu ebirungi nga babikuŋŋaanyiza mu bisero, ebibi nga babisuula.
which, when it has been filled, having drawn up on the shore and sat down, they gathered the good into vessels and cast the worthless out.
49 Bwe kiriba bwe kityo ne ku nkomerero y’ensi, bamalayika balijja ne baawulamu abantu abatuukirivu n’ababi. (aiōn g165)
Thus shall it be in the completion of the age: the angels shall go forth and sever the wicked from the midst of the just, (aiōn g165)
50 Ababi balibasuula mu nkoomi y’omuliro eriba okukaaba n’okuluma obujiji.”
and shall cast them into the furnace of fire; there shall be the weeping and the gnashing of teeth.
51 Yesu n’ababuuza nti, “Ebintu bino byonna mubitegedde?” Ne bamuddamu nti, “Weewaawo.”
Jesus says to them, Have ye understood all these things? They say to him, Yea, [Lord].
52 Kyeyava abagamba nti, “Noolwekyo omuwandiisi eyayiga obulungi amateeka g’Ekiyudaaya ate n’afuuka omuyigiriza w’obwakabaka obw’omu ggulu, ali ng’omusajja nnyini nnyumba, aggyayo mu tterekero lye ebipya n’ebikadde.”
And he said to them, For this reason every scribe discipled to the kingdom of the heavens is like a man [that is] a householder who brings out of his treasure things new and old.
53 Awo Yesu bwe yamala okugera engero ezo n’avaayo,
And it came to pass when Jesus had finished these parables he withdrew thence.
54 n’addayo mu kibuga ky’ewaabwe n’ayigiriza mu kuŋŋaaniro lyabwe. N’abeewuunyisa ne bagamba nti, “Yaggya wa amagezi n’ebyamagero ebyo?”
And having come into his own country, he taught them in their synagogue, so that they were astonished, and said, Whence has this [man] this wisdom and these works of power?
55 Ne beebuuza nti, “Ono si ye mutabani w’omubazzi? Nnyina ye Maliyamu ne baganda be ba Yakobo, ne Yusufu, ne Simooni ne Yuda.
Is not this the son of the carpenter? Is not his mother called Mary, and his brethren James, and Joseph, and Simon, and Judas?
56 Ne bannyina babeera kuno. Kale, ebyo byonna yabiggya wa?”
And his sisters, are they not all with us? Whence then has this [man] all these things?
57 Ne bamunyiigira nga balowooza nti abeeragirako. Naye Yesu n’abagamba nti, “Nnabbi aweebwa ekitiibwa mu buli kifo, okuggyako mu kitundu ky’ewaabwe ne mu nnyumba y’ewaabwe.”
And they were offended in him. And Jesus said to them, A prophet is not without honour, unless in his country and in his house.
58 Era yakolerayo ebyamagero bitono olw’obutakkiriza bwabwe.
And he did not there many works of power, because of their unbelief.
