Matayo 15
1 Awo Abafalisaayo n’abannyonnyozi b’amateeka ne bava e Yerusaalemi ne bajja eri Yesu ne bamubuuza nti:
Then came to Jesus scribes and Pharisees that were of Jerusalem, saying:
2 “Abayigirizwa bo lwaki banyoomoola obulombolombo bw’Abakadde? Kubanga tebanaaba mu ngalo nga bagenda okulya emmere.”
Why do your disciples transgress the tradition of the elders? for they do not wash their hands when they eat bread.
3 Naye Yesu naye n’ababuuza nti, “Lwaki mumenya amateeka ga Katonda, nga mwerimbika mu bulombolombo bwammwe?
But he answered and said to them: And why do you transgress the commandment of God for the sake of your tradition?
4 Katonda yagamba nti, ‘Kitaawo ne nnyoko obassangamu ekitiibwa. Oyo anaavumanga kitaawe ne nnyina battanga mutte,’
For God commanded, saying, Honor your father and your mother; and, He that curses father or mother shall surely be put to death.
5 Naye mmwe mugamba nti, Buli agamba kitaawe oba nnyina nti, ‘Ekirabo kye nandikuwadde nkiwaddeyo eri Katonda,’ omuntu oyo teyeetaaga kussaamu kitaawe kitiibwa.
But you say, Whoever shall say to his father or his mother, Whatever of mine might profit you, is a gift, he must in no way honor his father or his mother;
6 Noolwekyo tassaamu kitaawe oba nnyina kitiibwa. Bwe mutyo ne mudibya etteeka lya Katonda olw’obulombolombo bwammwe.
and you make the commandment of God of no effect for the sake of your tradition.
7 Mmwe bannanfuusi! Nnabbi Isaaya yayogera bulungi ebyobunnabbi ebibakwatako bwe yagamba nti,
Hypocrites! well did Isaiah prophesy of you, saying,
8 “‘Abantu bano banzisaamu ekitiibwa kya ku mimwa.’ Naye emitima gyabwe gindi wala.
This people draws near to me with their mouth, and honors me with their lips; but their heart is far from me.
9 ‘Okusinza kwabwe kwa bwereere. Kubanga bayigiriza amateeka abantu ge beekoledde.’”
But in vain, do they worship me, teaching precepts, the commandments of men.
10 Yesu n’ayita ekibiina n’abagamba nti, “Mumpulirize era mutegeere.
And he called the multitude to him, and said to them: Hear and understand;
11 Omuntu ky’alya si kye kimwonoonyesa, wabula ekyo ekiva mu kamwa ke, kye kimwonoonyesa.”
That which enters the mouth does not defile the man; but that which comes out of the mouth, this defiles the man.
12 Abayigirizwa be ne bajja gy’ali ne bamugamba nti, “Omanyi ebigambo byo nga bwe binyiizizza Abafalisaayo?”
Then came his disciples and said to him: Dost thou know that the Pharisees, when they heard that saying, were offended?
13 Naye Yesu n’addamu nti, “Buli kisimbe Kitange ali mu ggulu ky’ataasimba kigenda kusimbulwa.
But he answered and said: Every plant that my heavenly Father has not planted, shall be rooted up.
14 Noolwekyo mubaleke. Bakulembeze abazibe b’amaaso. Bafaanana omuzibe w’amaaso akulembera muzibe munne, kubanga bombi bagenda kugwa mu kinnya.”
Let them alone; they are blind leaders of the blind; and if the blind lead the blind, both will fall into the pit.
15 Peetero n’amugamba nti, “Tunnyonnyole olugero olwo.”
But Peter answered and said to him: Explain to us this dark saying.
16 Yesu n’abagamba nti, “Nammwe era temunnategeera?
Jesus replied: Are you also yet without understanding?
17 Temumanyi nti buli muntu ky’alya kigenda mu lubuto mwe kiva n’akifulumiza mu kiyigo?
Do you not yet understand that whatever enters the mouth passes into the belly, and is cast out into the sink?
18 Naye ebintu ebiva mu kamwa, biva mu mutima ne byonoona omuntu.
But those things which go out from the mouth, come from the heart; and these defile the man.
19 Kubanga mu mutima mwe muva ebirowoozo ebibi, obussi, n’obwenzi, eby’obukaba, n’obubbi, n’okuwaayiriza, n’okuvvoola.
For from the heart come evil reasonings, murders, adulteries, lewd actions, thefts, false testimonies, impious words.
20 Ebyo bye byonoona omuntu, naye okulya nga tonaabye mu ngalo, tekwonoona muntu.”
These are the things that defile the man. But to eat with unwashed hands does not defile the man.
21 Yesu n’ava mu kifo ekyo, n’agenda mu kitundu omuli ebibuga Ttuulo ne Sidoni.
And Jesus went out thence, and withdrew into the regions of Tyre and Sidon.
22 Awo omukazi Omukanani eyali abeera mu bitundu ebyo, n’ajja eri Yesu n’amwegayirira nti, “Onsaasire Mukama wange, Omwana wa Dawudi! Muwala wange aliko dayimooni amubonyaabonya nnyo.”
And behold, a woman of Chanaan came out from those borders, and cried to him, saying: Have mercy on me, Lord, son of David; my daughter is grievously vexed with a demon.
23 Naye Yesu n’asirika n’atamuddamu kigambo na kimu. Abayigirizwa be ne bajja ne bamugamba nti, “Bw’omugoba n’agenda. Ng’ayitirizza okutukaabirira.”
But he answered her not a word. And his disciples came and besought him, saying: Send her away, for she cries after us.
24 Naye Yesu n’addamu omukazi nti, “Nze saatumibwa walala wonna, wabula eri endiga za Isirayiri ezaabula.”
But he answered and said: I am not sent but to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.
25 Naye omukazi n’asembera awali Yesu n’amusinza, n’amwegayirira ng’agamba nti, “Mukama wange, nnyamba.”
But she came and did him homage, saying: Lord, help me.
26 Yesu n’amuddamu nti, “Si kituufu okuddira emmere y’omwana okugisuulira embwa.”
He answered and said: It is not good to take the children’s bread, and throw it to the little dogs.
27 Omukazi n’addamu nti, “Weewaawo, Mukama wange, naye n’embwa nazo zirya ku bukunkumuka obugwa wansi okuva ku mmeeza ya mukama waazo.”
She replied: Yes, Lord; and yet thou canst help me; for the little dogs eat of the crumbs which fall from the table of their masters.
28 Awo Yesu n’amugamba nti, “Mukazi watu, ng’okukkiriza kwo kunene! Kale kikukolerwe nga bw’oyagala.” Amangwago muwala we n’awonera mu kiseera ekyo.
Then Jesus answered and said to her: O woman, great is your faith; be it to you as you desire. And her daughter was restored to health from that hour.
29 Yesu n’avaayo n’ajja emitala okumpi n’ennyanja y’e Ggaliraaya n’alinnya ku lusozi n’atuula eyo.
And Jesus departed thence, and came near the sea of Galilee, and went up into the mountain, and sat there.
30 Abantu bangi ne bajja gy’ali, ne bamuleetera, abakoozimbye, n’abatayogera n’abalala bangi ne babassa we yali n’abawonya.
And many multitudes came to him, having with them the lame, the blind, the deaf, the maimed, and many others; and laid them at the feet of Jesus, and he cured them;
31 Abantu bangi ne beewuunya, nga balaba ababadde batayogera nga boogera, n’ababadde bakoozimbye nga bawonye, n’ababadde abalema nga batambula, n’ababadde abazibe b’amaaso nga balaba. Ne bagulumiza Katonda wa Isirayiri.
so that the multitudes were astonished, when they saw the dumb speaking, the maimed whole, the lame walking, and the blind seeing; and they glorified the God of Israel.
32 Awo Yesu n’ayita abayigirizwa be n’abagamba nti, “Abantu bano mbasaasira, kubanga baakamala nange ennaku ssatu ate tebalina kyakulya. Ssaagala kubasiibula ne bagenda enjala, si kulwa nga bagwa ku kkubo.”
Then Jesus called his disciples to him, and said: I have compassion on the multitude, because they have been with me now three days, and have nothing to eat. And I am not willing to send them away fasting, lest they faint on the road.
33 Abayigirizwa ne bamugamba nti, “Wano mu ddungu tunaggya wa emigaati emingi gye tunaaliisa abantu abangi bwe bati?”
And his disciples said to him: Whence should we have in the desert as many loaves as would satisfy so great a multitude?
34 Yesu n’ababuuza nti, “Mulinawo emigaati emeka?” Ne bamuddamu nti, “Tulinawo emigaati musanvu n’ebyennyanja bitono.”
And Jesus said to them: How many loaves have you? They said: Seven, and a few little fishes.
35 Yesu n’alagira abantu bonna batuule wansi,
And he commanded the multitude to recline on the ground.
36 n’addira emigaati omusanvu n’ebyennyanja, bwe yamala okwebaza, n’abimenyaamenyamu, n’awa abayigirizwa be ne batandika okugabula ekibiina.
And he took the seven loaves and the fishes, and gave thanks, and broke, and gave thorn to the disciples, and the disciples gave them to the multitude.
37 Buli muntu n’alya n’akkuta. Ne babukuŋŋaanya obutundutundu obwasigalawo ne bujjuza ebisero musanvu.
And they all ate and were satisfied; and they took up what remained of the broken pieces, seven baskets full.
38 Abaalya baawera abasajja enkumi nnya nga totaddeeko bakazi na baana.
And those who ate were four thousand men, besides women and children.
39 Awo Yesu n’asiibula ekibiina, n’asaabala mu lyato n’agenda mu nsalo y’e Magadani.
And he sent the multitudes away, and entered the ship, and went into the borders of Magdala.
