Matayo 13
1 Ku lunaku olwo Yesu n’afuluma mu nnyumba n’agenda n’atuula ku lubalama lw’ennyanja.
On that day Jesus went out of the house, and sat by the seaside.
2 Ekibiina kinene ne kimukuŋŋaanirako. Kwe kuyingira mu lyato n’atuula omwo abantu bonna ne bayimirira ku lubalama.
And large crowds gathered to him, so that he entered into a boat, and sat, and all the crowd stood on the beach.
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, "Look, a farmer 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 seeds fell by the roadside, 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 on rocky ground, where they did not have much soil, and immediately they sprang up, because they had no depth of earth.
6 Naye omusana bwe gwayaka ne ziwotoka kubanga emirandira gyazo gyali kumpi.
But when the sun had risen, they were scorched. Because they had no root, they withered away.
7 Endala ne zigwa mu maggwa, bwe zaamera amaggwa nago ne gakula ne gazisinga amaanyi, obulimi obwali bwakamera ne bukala.
Others fell among 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.
Still others fell on good soil, and yielded fruit: some one hundred times as much, some sixty, and some thirty.
9 Alina amatu agawulira, awulire.”
He who has ears, let him hear."
10 Abayigirizwa be ne bamusemberera ne bamubuuza nti, “Lwaki oyogera nabo mu ngero?”
Then the disciples came, and said to him, "Why do you speak to them in parables?"
11 N’abaddamu nti, “Mmwe mulina omukisa kubanga mwaweebwa okutegeera ebyama eby’obwakabaka obw’omu ggulu, naye bo tebaakiweebwa.
And answering, he said to them, "To you it is given to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, but it is not given to them.
12 Kubanga buli alina alyongerwako abeerere ddala na bingi, naye oyo atalina aliggyibwako n’ako akatono k’alina.
For whoever has, to him will be given, and he will have abundance, but whoever does not have, from him will be taken away even that which he has.
13 Kyenva njigiriza mu ngero: “Abalaba baleme okulaba, n’abawulira baleme okuwulira wadde okutegeera.
Therefore I speak to them in parables, because seeing they do not see, and hearing, they do not hear, neither do they understand.
14 Kino kituukiriza nnabbi Isaaya kye yagamba nti, “‘Muliwulira naye temulitegeera n’okulaba muliraba naye temulimanya.
And in them the prophecy of Isaiah is fulfilled, which says, 'In hearing you will hear, but will not understand, and seeing you will see, but not perceive.
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 dull, and their ears are sluggish in hearing, and they have closed their eyes, otherwise they might see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and understand with their heart, and turn back, and I would heal them.'
16 Naye amaaso gammwe galina omukisa, kubanga galaba, n’amatu gammwe kubanga gawulira.
"But blessed are your eyes, for they see; and your ears, for 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 truly I tell you that many prophets and righteous people desired to see the things which you see, and did not see them; and to hear the things which you hear, and did not hear them.
18 “Noolwekyo muwulirize olugero lw’omulimi eyasiga ensigo.
"Hear, then, the parable of the farmer.
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.
When anyone hears the word of the Kingdom, and does not understand it, the evil one comes, and snatches away that which has been sown in his heart. This is what was sown by the roadside.
20 Ensigo eyagwa ku byaziyazi efaanana ng’omuntu awulira ekigambo, amangwago n’akyaniriza n’essanyu,
And what was sown on the rocky places, this is he who hears the word, and immediately with joy receives it;
21 naye olw’okuba nga talina mmizi mu ye, wa kaseera buseera, ennaku n’okuyigganyizibwa bwe bijja olw’ekigambo, amangwago n’agwa.
yet he has no root in himself, but endures for a while. When oppression or persecution arises because of the word, immediately he stumbles.
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 what was sown among the thorns, this is he who hears the word, but the cares of the world and the deceitfulness 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.”
And what was sown on the good ground, this is he who hears the word, and understands it, who truly bears fruit, and brings forth, some one hundred times as much, some sixty, and some thirty."
24 N’abagerera olugero olulala nti, “Obwakabaka obw’omu ggulu bufaanana n’omuntu eyasiga ensigo ennungi mu nnimiro ye,
He set another parable before them, saying, "The kingdom of heaven is like a person who sowed 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 everyone slept, his enemy came and sowed tares also among the wheat, and went away.
26 Naye eŋŋaano ennungi bwe yamera, n’omuddo ne gumerera wamu nayo.
But when the blade sprang up and brought forth fruit, then the tares appeared 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?’
So the servants of the householder came and said to him, 'Sir, did you not sow good seed in your field? Where did these tares come from?'
28 “Ye n’abaddamu nti, ‘Omulabe ye yakola ekyo.’ Abaddu kyebaava bamubuuza nti, ‘Tugende tugukoolemu?’
"And he said to them, 'An enemy has done this.' "And the servants asked him, 'Then do you want us to go and gather them up?'
29 “N’abaddamu nti, ‘Nedda, kubanga bwe munaaba mukuulamu omuddo mujja kukuuliramu n’eŋŋaano.
"But he said, 'No, lest perhaps while you gather up the tares, you root up the wheat with them.
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.’”
Let both grow together until the harvest, and in the harvest time I will tell the reapers, "First, gather up the tares, and bind them in bundles to burn them; but gather the wheat into my barn."'"
31 N’abagerera olugero olulala ng’agamba nti, “Obwakabaka obw’omu ggulu bufaanana ng’akaweke ka kaladaali, omusajja ke yasiga mu nnimiro.
He set another parable before them, saying, "The kingdom of heaven is like a 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 indeed is least of all the seeds. But when it has grown it is larger than the garden plants and becomes a tree, so that the birds of the air come and nest 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 heaven is like yeast, which a woman took, and hid in three measures of meal, until it was all leavened."
34 Bino byonna Yesu yabyogerera mu ngero eri ebibiina era teyayogera gye bali awatali ngero.
Jesus spoke all these things in parables to the crowds; 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.”
that it might be fulfilled which was spoken through the prophet, saying, "I will open my mouth in parables; I will utter things hidden since the beginning of the world."
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 Jesus sent the crowds away, and went into the house. His disciples came to him, saying, "Explain to us the parable of the tares in the field."
37 N’abannyonnyola ng’agamba nti, “Omwana w’Omuntu ye yasiga ensigo ennungi.
And he answered them, "The one who 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 children of the Kingdom; and the tares are the children 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 sowed them is the devil, and the harvest is the end of the age, and the reapers 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 therefore the tares are gathered up and burned with fire; so will it be at the end of the age. (aiōn g165)
41 Omwana w’Omuntu alituma bamalayika be mu bwakabaka bakuŋŋaanye ebintu byonna ebyesittaza, n’abajeemu,
The Son of Man will send out his angels, and they will gather out of his Kingdom all things that cause stumbling, and those who do iniquity,
42 babasuule mu nkoomi y’omuliro. Omwo mwe muliba okukaaba n’okuluma obujiji.
and will cast them into the furnace of fire. There will be weeping and the grinding of teeth.
43 Naye abatuukirivu balyakaayakana ng’enjuba mu bwakabaka bwa Kitaabwe. Alina amatu agawulira, awulire.
Then the righteous will shine forth like the sun in the Kingdom of their Father. He who 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 heaven is like a treasure hidden in the field, which a man found, and hid. In his joy, he goes and sells all that 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 heaven is like a man who is a merchant seeking fine pearls,
46 bwe yazuula ejjinja erimu ery’omuwendo n’agenda n’atunda bye yalina byonna n’aligula.
and having found one pearl of great price, he went and sold all that 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 heaven is like a dragnet, that was cast into the sea, and gathered some fish of every kind,
48 akatimba bwe kajjula ne bakawalulira ku lubalama ne balondamu ebirungi nga babikuŋŋaanyiza mu bisero, ebibi nga babisuula.
which, when it was filled, they drew up on the beach. They sat down, and gathered the good into containers, but the bad they threw away.
49 Bwe kiriba bwe kityo ne ku nkomerero y’ensi, bamalayika balijja ne baawulamu abantu abatuukirivu n’ababi. (aiōn g165)
So will it be in the end of the world. The angels will come forth, and separate the wicked from among the righteous, (aiōn g165)
50 Ababi balibasuula mu nkoomi y’omuliro eriba okukaaba n’okuluma obujiji.”
and will cast them into the furnace of fire. There will be the weeping and the grinding of teeth."
51 Yesu n’ababuuza nti, “Ebintu bino byonna mubitegedde?” Ne bamuddamu nti, “Weewaawo.”
"Have you understood all these things?" They answered him, "Yes."
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, "Therefore, every scribe who has been made a disciple in the kingdom of heaven is like a man who is a householder, who brings out of his treasure new and old things."
53 Awo Yesu bwe yamala okugera engero ezo n’avaayo,
And it happened that when Jesus had finished these parables, he departed from there.
54 n’addayo mu kibuga ky’ewaabwe n’ayigiriza mu kuŋŋaaniro lyabwe. N’abeewuunyisa ne bagamba nti, “Yaggya wa amagezi n’ebyamagero ebyo?”
And coming into his own country, he taught them in their synagogue, so that they were astonished, and said, "Where did this man get this wisdom, and these mighty works?
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 carpenter's son? Is not his mother called Mary, and his brothers, James and Joseph and Simon and Judas?
56 Ne bannyina babeera kuno. Kale, ebyo byonna yabiggya wa?”
And are not all of his sisters with us? Where then did this man get all of 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 by him. But Jesus said to them, "A prophet is not without honor, except in his own country, and in his own house."
58 Era yakolerayo ebyamagero bitono olw’obutakkiriza bwabwe.
And he did not do many mighty works there because of their unbelief.
