Matayo 15
1 Awo Abafalisaayo n’abannyonnyozi b’amateeka ne bava e Yerusaalemi ne bajja eri Yesu ne bamubuuza nti:
Then Pharisees and scribes came to Yeshua from Jerusalem, saying,
2 “Abayigirizwa bo lwaki banyoomoola obulombolombo bw’Abakadde? Kubanga tebanaaba mu ngalo nga bagenda okulya emmere.”
“Why do your disciples disobey the tradition of the elders? For they don’t wash their hands when they eat bread.”
3 Naye Yesu naye n’ababuuza nti, “Lwaki mumenya amateeka ga Katonda, nga mwerimbika mu bulombolombo bwammwe?
He answered them, “Why do you also disobey the commandment of God because of your tradition?
4 Katonda yagamba nti, ‘Kitaawo ne nnyoko obassangamu ekitiibwa. Oyo anaavumanga kitaawe ne nnyina battanga mutte,’
For God commanded, ‘Honour your father and your mother,’ and, ‘He who speaks evil of father or mother, let him 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 may tell his father or his mother, “Whatever help you might otherwise have gotten from me is a gift devoted to God,”
6 Noolwekyo tassaamu kitaawe oba nnyina kitiibwa. Bwe mutyo ne mudibya etteeka lya Katonda olw’obulombolombo bwammwe.
he shall not honour his father or mother.’ You have made the commandment of God void because of your tradition.
7 Mmwe bannanfuusi! Nnabbi Isaaya yayogera bulungi ebyobunnabbi ebibakwatako bwe yagamba nti,
You hypocrites! Well did Isaiah prophesy of you, saying,
8 “‘Abantu bano banzisaamu ekitiibwa kya ku mimwa.’ Naye emitima gyabwe gindi wala.
‘These people draw near to me with their mouth, and honour me with their lips; but their heart is far from me.
9 ‘Okusinza kwabwe kwa bwereere. Kubanga bayigiriza amateeka abantu ge beekoledde.’”
And they worship me in vain, teaching as doctrine rules made by men.’”
10 Yesu n’ayita ekibiina n’abagamba nti, “Mumpulirize era mutegeere.
He summoned the multitude, 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 into the mouth doesn’t defile the man; but that which proceeds 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 the disciples came and said to him, “Do you know that the Pharisees were offended when they heard this saying?”
13 Naye Yesu n’addamu nti, “Buli kisimbe Kitange ali mu ggulu ky’ataasimba kigenda kusimbulwa.
But he answered, “Every plant which my heavenly Father didn’t plant will be uprooted.
14 Noolwekyo mubaleke. Bakulembeze abazibe b’amaaso. Bafaanana omuzibe w’amaaso akulembera muzibe munne, kubanga bombi bagenda kugwa mu kinnya.”
Leave them alone. They are blind guides of the blind. If the blind guide the blind, both will fall into a pit.”
15 Peetero n’amugamba nti, “Tunnyonnyole olugero olwo.”
Peter answered him, “Explain the parable to us.”
16 Yesu n’abagamba nti, “Nammwe era temunnategeera?
So Yeshua said, “Do you also still not understand?
17 Temumanyi nti buli muntu ky’alya kigenda mu lubuto mwe kiva n’akifulumiza mu kiyigo?
Don’t you understand that whatever goes into the mouth passes into the belly and then out of the body?
18 Naye ebintu ebiva mu kamwa, biva mu mutima ne byonoona omuntu.
But the things which proceed out of the mouth come out of the heart, 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 evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, sexual sins, thefts, false testimony, and blasphemies.
20 Ebyo bye byonoona omuntu, naye okulya nga tonaabye mu ngalo, tekwonoona muntu.”
These are the things which defile the man; but to eat with unwashed hands doesn’t defile the man.”
21 Yesu n’ava mu kifo ekyo, n’agenda mu kitundu omuli ebibuga Ttuulo ne Sidoni.
Yeshua went out from there and withdrew into the region 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.”
Behold, a Canaanite woman came out from those borders and cried, saying, “Have mercy on me, Lord, you son of David! My daughter is severely possessed by 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. His disciples came and begged 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, “I wasn’t sent to anyone but 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 worshipped him, saying, “Lord, help me.”
26 Yesu n’amuddamu nti, “Si kituufu okuddira emmere y’omwana okugisuulira embwa.”
But he answered, “It is not appropriate to take the children’s bread and throw it to the dogs.”
27 Omukazi n’addamu nti, “Weewaawo, Mukama wange, naye n’embwa nazo zirya ku bukunkumuka obugwa wansi okuva ku mmeeza ya mukama waazo.”
But she said, “Yes, Lord, but even the dogs eat the crumbs which fall from their masters’ table.”
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 Yeshua answered her, “Woman, great is your faith! Be it done to you even as you desire.” 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.
Yeshua departed from there and came near to the sea of Galilee; and he went up on 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.
Great multitudes came to him, having with them the lame, blind, mute, maimed, and many others, and they put them down at his feet. He healed 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 wondered when they saw the mute speaking, the injured healed, 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.”
Yeshua summoned his disciples and said, “I have compassion on the multitude, because they have continued with me now three days and have nothing to eat. I don’t want to send them away fasting, or they might faint on the way.”
33 Abayigirizwa ne bamugamba nti, “Wano mu ddungu tunaggya wa emigaati emingi gye tunaaliisa abantu abangi bwe bati?”
The disciples said to him, “Where could we get so many loaves in a deserted place as to satisfy so great a multitude?”
34 Yesu n’ababuuza nti, “Mulinawo emigaati emeka?” Ne bamuddamu nti, “Tulinawo emigaati musanvu n’ebyennyanja bitono.”
Yeshua said to them, “How many loaves do you have?” They said, “Seven, and a few small fish.”
35 Yesu n’alagira abantu bonna batuule wansi,
He commanded the multitude to sit down 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 fish. He gave thanks and broke them, and gave to the disciples, and the disciples to the multitudes.
37 Buli muntu n’alya n’akkuta. Ne babukuŋŋaanya obutundutundu obwasigalawo ne bujjuza ebisero musanvu.
They all ate and were filled. They took up seven baskets full of the broken pieces that were left over.
38 Abaalya baawera abasajja enkumi nnya nga totaddeeko bakazi na baana.
Those who ate were four thousand men, in addition to women and children.
39 Awo Yesu n’asiibula ekibiina, n’asaabala mu lyato n’agenda mu nsalo y’e Magadani.
Then he sent away the multitudes, got into the boat, and came into the borders of Magdala.
