Matayo 9
1 Awo Yesu n’asaabala mu lyato n’awunguka n’atuuka mu kibuga ky’ewaabwe, Kaperunawumu.
And going on board the ship, he passed over and came to his own city.
2 Amangwago ne bamuleetera omuntu eyali akoozimbye nga bamusitulidde ku katanda. Bwe yalaba okukkiriza kwabwe n’agamba omulwadde nti, “Mwana wange, guma omwoyo, nkusonyiye ebibi byo!”
And behold, they brought to him a paralytic, laid upon a bed; and Jesus, seeing their faith, said to the paralytic, Be of good courage, child; thy sins are forgiven.
3 Naye waaliwo abamu ku bannyonnyozi b’amateeka ne boogeraganya bokka na bokka nti, “Omuntu ono avvoola! Alowooza nti Ye Katonda!”
And behold, certain of the scribes said to themselves, This [man] blasphemes.
4 Yesu n’amanya bye balowooza. N’abagamba nti, “Lwaki mubeera n’ebirowoozo ebibi mu mitima gyammwe?
And Jesus, seeing their thoughts, said, Why do ye think evil things in your hearts?
5 Ekyo buli muntu ayinza okukyogera, kubanga kwogera bwogezi.
For which is easier: to say, Thy sins are forgiven; or to say, Rise up and walk?
6 Naye mutegeere nga Omwana w’Omuntu alina obuyinza ku nsi okusonyiwa ebibi.” Awo n’agamba akoozimbye nti, “Yimirira weetikke akatanda ko, weddireyo ewammwe!”
But that ye may know that the Son of man has power on earth to forgive sins, (then he says to the paralytic, ) Rise up, take up thy bed and go to thy house.
7 N’ayimirira ng’awonye, ne yeddirayo eka.
And he rose up and went to his house.
8 Naye abantu abaali mu bibiina bwe baalaba ekyamagero kino ne beewuunya nnyo! Ne bagulumiza Katonda eyawa abantu obuyinza obwenkaniddaawo!
But the crowds seeing [it], were in fear, and glorified God who gave such power to men.
9 Awo Yesu bwe yava mu kifo ekyo n’alaba omuntu, erinnya lye Matayo, ng’atudde mu kifo we basolooleza omusolo, n’amugamba nti, “Ngoberera.” Bw’atyo naye n’asitukiramu n’agoberera Yesu.
And Jesus, passing on thence, saw a man sitting at the tax-office, called Matthew, and says to him, Follow me. And he rose up and followed him.
10 Awo Yesu bwe yali ng’atudde ku mmere mu nnyumba ya Matayo, abawooza bangi n’abantu abaali bamanyiddwa mu kitundu ekyo nti babi ne bajja ne batuula naye n’abayigirizwa be ku mmere ne balya.
And it came to pass, as he lay at table in the house, that behold, many tax-gatherers and sinners came and lay at table with Jesus and his disciples.
11 Naye Abafalisaayo bwe baakiraba, ne bagamba abayigirizwa be nti, “Lwaki Mukama wammwe alya n’abawooza n’abantu abalina ebibi?”
And the Pharisees seeing [it], said to his disciples, Why does your teacher eat with tax-gatherers and sinners?
12 Yesu bwe yawulira n’abaddamu nti, “Abalamu tebeetaaga musawo wabula abalwadde.
But [Jesus] hearing it, said, They that are strong have not need of a physician, but those that are ill.
13 Mugende muyige amakulu g’Ekyawandiikibwa kino nti, ‘Ssaddaaka zammwe n’ebirabo byammwe si bye neetaaga, wabula neetaaga mubeerenga ba kisa.’ Najjirira kuyita boonoonyi, so sajjirira abo abeerowooza nti batuukirivu.”
But go and learn what [that] is — I will have mercy and not sacrifice; for I have not come to call righteous [men] but sinners.
14 Lwali lumu abayigirizwa ba Yokaana ne bajja eri Yesu ne bamubuuza nti, “Lwaki abayigirizwa bo tebasiiba nga ffe n’Abafalisaayo bwe tukola?”
Then come to him the disciples of John, saying, Why do we and the Pharisees often fast, but thy disciples fast not?
15 Yesu n’ababuuza nti, “Mikwano gy’omugole bayinza okunakuwala ng’omugole akyali nabo? Naye ekiseera kirituuka omugole lwalibaggibwako. Olwo nno balisiiba.
And Jesus said to them, Can the sons of the bridechamber mourn so long as the bridegroom is with them? But days will come when the bridegroom will have been taken away from them, and then they will fast.
16 “Tewali muntu atunga kiwero kiggya mu lugoye lukadde, kubanga, ekiwero bwe kyetugga kiyuza olugoye olukadde, n’ekituli ne kigaziwa.
But no one puts a patch of new cloth on an old garment, for its filling up takes from the garment and a worse rent takes place.
17 Era tewali ateeka wayini musu mu nsawo ez’amaliba enkadde. Ensawoenkadde zaabika wayini n’ayiika n’ensawo ne zoonooneka. Wayini omusu bamuteeka mu nsawo z’amaliba maggya, byombi ne bitayonooneka.”
Nor do men put new wine into old skins, otherwise the skins burst and the wine is poured out, and the skins will be destroyed; but they put new wine into new skins, and both are preserved together.
18 Bwe yali ng’akyayogera nabo omufuzi n’ajja, n’amusinza n’amugamba nti, “Omwana wange omuwala anfuddeko, naye singa ojja n’omukwatako anaalamuka.”
As he spoke these things to them, behold, a ruler coming in did homage to him, saying, My daughter has by this died; but come and lay thy hand upon her and she shall live.
19 Yesu bwe yasituka n’abayigirizwa be okugenda mu maka g’omukulu w’ekkuŋŋaaniro,
And Jesus rose up and followed him, and [so did] his disciples.
20 omukazi eyali alwadde ekikulukuto ky’omusaayi, okumala emyaka kkumi n’ebiri, n’ajja emabega we n’akoma ku lukugiro lw’ekyambalo kye.
And behold, a woman, who had had a bloody flux [for] twelve years, came behind and touched the hem of his garment;
21 Kubanga y’agamba mu mutima gwe nti, “Ne bwe nnaakoma obukomi ku kyambalo kye nnaawona.”
for she said within herself, If I should only touch his garment I shall be healed.
22 Yesu n’akyuka n’alaba omukazi n’amugamba nti, “Muwala, guma omwoyo! Owonye olw’okukkiriza kwo.” Omukazi n’awonera mu kiseera ekyo.
But Jesus turning and seeing her, said, Be of good courage, daughter; thy faith has healed thee. And the woman was healed from that hour.
23 Awo Yesu bwe yatuuka mu maka g’omufuzi n’asanga abafuuyi b’amakondeere n’ekibiina nga kijagaladde,
And when Jesus was come to the house of the ruler, and saw the flute-players and the crowd making a tumult,
24 n’agamba nti, “Mufulume kubanga omuwala tafudde wabula yeebase bwebasi.” Bonna ne bamusekerera nga bwe beesooza.
he said, Withdraw, for the damsel is not dead, but sleeps. And they derided him.
25 Naye abantu bwe bamala okufuluma, Yesu n’ayingira, n’akwata omukono gw’omuwala, n’agolokosa omuwala.
But when the crowd had been put out, he went in and took her hand; and the damsel rose up.
26 Ebigambo ebyo ne bibuna mu kitundu ekyo kyonna.
And the fame of it went out into all that land.
27 Awo Yesu bwe yava eyo, abazibe b’amaaso babiri ne bamugoberera nga bwe baleekaana nti, “Ayi Omwana wa Dawudi, otusaasire!”
And as Jesus passed on thence, two blind [men] followed him, crying and saying, Have mercy on us, Son of David.
28 Bwe yatuuka mu nju, bamuzibe ne bajja w’ali. Yesu n’ababuuza nti, “Mukkiriza nga nnyinza okubazibula amaaso?” Ne bamuddamu nti, “Weewaawo, Mukama waffe.”
And when he was come to the house, the blind [men] came to him. And Jesus says to them, Do ye believe that I am able to do this? They say to him, Yea, Lord.
29 Awo n’akoma ku maaso gaabwe n’abagamba nti, “Kale, olw’okukkiriza kwammwe, kye musabye mukiweereddwa.”
Then he touched their eyes, saying, According to your faith, be it unto you.
30 Amangwago amaaso gaabwe ne gazibuka. Yesu n’abakuutira nnyo baleme kubuulirako muntu yenna ng’abagamba nti, “Mulabe nga tewaba n’omu ategeera bibaddewo.”
And their eyes were opened; and Jesus charged them sharply, saying, See, let no man know it.
31 Naye bwe baava awo, ne bagenda nga basaasaanya ebigambo ebyo, nga babuulira buli muntu gwe baasisinkananga mu kitundu ekyo.
But they, when they were gone out, spread his name abroad in all that land.
32 Awo Yesu ne be yali nabo, bwe baali bafuluma ne bamuleetera kiggala eyali tayogera kubanga yaliko dayimooni.
But as these were going out, behold, they brought to him a dumb man possessed by a demon.
33 Yesu n’amugobako dayimooni, era amangwago abadde kiggala n’ayogera. Ekibiina ky’abantu ne beewuunya nnyo nga bagamba nti, “Kino tekibangawo mu Isirayiri.”
And the demon having been cast out, the dumb spake. And the crowds were astonished, saying, It has never been seen thus in Israel.
34 Naye Abafalisaayo ne bagamba nti, “Agoba baddayimooni lwa kubanga ye mukulu wa baddayimooni!”
But the Pharisees said, He casts out the demons through the prince of the demons.
35 Yesu n’agenda ng’ayita mu bibuga byonna eby’omu kitundu ekyo, ne mu byalo ng’ayigiriza mu makuŋŋaaniro gaabwe, era ng’abuulira Enjiri ey’obwakabaka. Era buli we yatuukanga n’awonya abalwadde n’abakoozimbye bonna.
And Jesus went round all the cities and the villages, teaching in their synagogues, and preaching the glad tidings of the kingdom, and healing every disease and every bodily weakness.
36 Awo bwe yatunuulira ekibiina ky’abantu nga bajja gy’ali, nga bakooye nnyo, era nga basaasaanye ng’endiga ezitalina musumba, n’abasaasira nnyo.
But when he saw the crowds he was moved with compassion for them, because they were harassed, and cast away as sheep not having a shepherd.
37 N’agamba abayigirizwa be nti, “Eby’okukungula bingi nnyo, naye abakozi abakungula batono.
Then saith he to his disciples, The harvest [is] great and the workmen [are] few;
38 Noolwekyo musabe nannyini nnimiro, aweereze abakozi mu nnimiro ye.”
supplicate therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he send forth workmen unto his harvest.
