Matayo 15
1 Awo Abafalisaayo n’abannyonnyozi b’amateeka ne bava e Yerusaalemi ne bajja eri Yesu ne bamubuuza nti:
Then, there come unto Jesus from Jerusalem Pharisees and Scribes, saying—
2 “Abayigirizwa bo lwaki banyoomoola obulombolombo bw’Abakadde? Kubanga tebanaaba mu ngalo nga bagenda okulya emmere.”
Wherefore do thy disciples transgress the tradition of the elders? for they wash not 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, answering, said unto them—Wherefore do, ye also, 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, said—Honour thy father and thy mother, and—He that revileth father or mother, let him, surely die!
5 Naye mmwe mugamba nti, Buli agamba kitaawe oba nnyina nti, ‘Ekirabo kye nandikuwadde nkiwaddeyo eri Katonda,’ omuntu oyo teyeetaaga kussaamu kitaawe kitiibwa.
But, ye, say—Whosoever shall say to his father or his mother—A gift! Whatsoever, out of me, thou mightest be profited,
6 Noolwekyo tassaamu kitaawe oba nnyina kitiibwa. Bwe mutyo ne mudibya etteeka lya Katonda olw’obulombolombo bwammwe.
in nowise, shall honour his father or his mother—and so ye have cancelled, the word of God, for the sake of your, tradition.
7 Mmwe bannanfuusi! Nnabbi Isaaya yayogera bulungi ebyobunnabbi ebibakwatako bwe yagamba nti,
Hypocrites! well prophesied concerning you, Isaiah, saying—
8 “‘Abantu bano banzisaamu ekitiibwa kya ku mimwa.’ Naye emitima gyabwe gindi wala.
This people, with the lips, do, honour, me, while, their heart, far off, holdeth from me;
9 ‘Okusinza kwabwe kwa bwereere. Kubanga bayigiriza amateeka abantu ge beekoledde.’”
But, in vain, do they pay devotions unto me, teaching, for teachings, the commandments of men.
10 Yesu n’ayita ekibiina n’abagamba nti, “Mumpulirize era mutegeere.
And, calling near the multitude, he said to them—Hear and understand!
11 Omuntu ky’alya si kye kimwonoonyesa, wabula ekyo ekiva mu kamwa ke, kye kimwonoonyesa.”
Not that which entereth into the mouth, defileth the man, but, that which proceedeth out of the mouth, the same, defileth the man,
12 Abayigirizwa be ne bajja gy’ali ne bamugamba nti, “Omanyi ebigambo byo nga bwe binyiizizza Abafalisaayo?”
Then, coming near, his disciples say unto him—Knowest thou, that the Pharisees, hearing the word, were caused to stumble?
13 Naye Yesu n’addamu nti, “Buli kisimbe Kitange ali mu ggulu ky’ataasimba kigenda kusimbulwa.
And, he, answering, said—Every plant which my heavenly Father hath not planted, will be uprooted:
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; and, if the, blind, lead the, blind, both, into a ditch, will fall.
15 Peetero n’amugamba nti, “Tunnyonnyole olugero olwo.”
And Peter, answering, said unto him, Declare to us the parable.
16 Yesu n’abagamba nti, “Nammwe era temunnategeera?
And, he, said, To this moment, are, ye also, without discernment?
17 Temumanyi nti buli muntu ky’alya kigenda mu lubuto mwe kiva n’akifulumiza mu kiyigo?
Perceive ye not that, every thing which entereth into the mouth, into the stomach, findeth way, and, into the draught, is passed;
18 Naye ebintu ebiva mu kamwa, biva mu mutima ne byonoona omuntu.
while, the things which proceed out of the mouth, out of the heart, come forth, and, they, defile the man.
19 Kubanga mu mutima mwe muva ebirowoozo ebibi, obussi, n’obwenzi, eby’obukaba, n’obubbi, n’okuwaayiriza, n’okuvvoola.
For, out of the heart, come forth wicked designs, —murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, false testimonies, profane speakings:
20 Ebyo bye byonoona omuntu, naye okulya nga tonaabye mu ngalo, tekwonoona muntu.”
these, are the things which defile the man, but, the eating with unwashed hands, doth not defile the man.
21 Yesu n’ava mu kifo ekyo, n’agenda mu kitundu omuli ebibuga Ttuulo ne Sidoni.
And, going forth from thence, Jesus retired into the parts of Tyre and Zidon.
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 lo! a Canaanite woman, from those bounds, coming forth, began crying out, saying, Have mercy on me, Lord, Son of David! My daughter, is miserably demonized.
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 no a word. And his disciples, coming forward began requesting him, saying—Dismiss her, because she is crying out after us.
24 Naye Yesu n’addamu omukazi nti, “Nze saatumibwa walala wonna, wabula eri endiga za Isirayiri ezaabula.”
But, he, answering, said, I was not sent forth, save unto 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.”
And, she, coming, began bowing down to him, saying, Lord! help me.
26 Yesu n’amuddamu nti, “Si kituufu okuddira emmere y’omwana okugisuulira embwa.”
But, he, answering, said, It is, not seemly, to take the loaf of, the children, and cast, 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.”
And, she, said, True, Lord! [for], even the little dogs, eat of the crumbs which are falling 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, answering, Jesus said to her—O woman! great, is, thy faith! Be it, done, for thee, as thou desirest. And her daughter was healed, from that hour.
29 Yesu n’avaayo n’ajja emitala okumpi n’ennyanja y’e Ggaliraaya n’alinnya ku lusozi n’atuula eyo.
And, passing on from thence, Jesus came near the sea of Galilee, and, going up into the mountain, was sitting there.
30 Abantu bangi ne bajja gy’ali, ne bamuleetera, abakoozimbye, n’abatayogera n’abalala bangi ne babassa we yali n’abawonya.
And there came unto him large multitudes, having with themselves the lame, the maimed, the blind, the dumb, and many others, —and they cast them near his feet, 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 multitude marvelled, seeing the dumb speaking, 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.”
But, Jesus, calling near his disciples, said—My compassions are moved towards the multitude, because [even now], three days, abide they with me, and they have nothing to eat, —and, to dismiss them fasting, I am not willing, lest by any means they faint in the way.
33 Abayigirizwa ne bamugamba nti, “Wano mu ddungu tunaggya wa emigaati emingi gye tunaaliisa abantu abangi bwe bati?”
And his disciples say unto him—Whence, to us, in a wilderness, loaves in such numbers as to fill a multitude, so great?
34 Yesu n’ababuuza nti, “Mulinawo emigaati emeka?” Ne bamuddamu nti, “Tulinawo emigaati musanvu n’ebyennyanja bitono.”
And Jesus saith unto them—How many, loaves have ye? And, they, said, —Seven, and a few small fishes.
35 Yesu n’alagira abantu bonna batuule wansi,
And, sending word to the multitude to recline upon the ground,
36 n’addira emigaati omusanvu n’ebyennyanja, bwe yamala okwebaza, n’abimenyaamenyamu, n’awa abayigirizwa be ne batandika okugabula ekibiina.
he took the seven loaves, and the fishes, and, giving thanks, brake, —and began giving to his disciples, and, the disciples, to the multitudes.
37 Buli muntu n’alya n’akkuta. Ne babukuŋŋaanya obutundutundu obwasigalawo ne bujjuza ebisero musanvu.
And they all did eat and were filled, —and, the remainder of the broken pieces, took they up, seven hampers, full.
38 Abaalya baawera abasajja enkumi nnya nga totaddeeko bakazi na baana.
And, they who did eat, 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, dismissing the multitudes, he went up into the boat, —and came into the bounds of Magadan.
