UMathewu 8
1 Kwathi esehlile entabeni, amlandela amaxuku amakhulu;
Awo Yesu bwe yava ku lusozi ekibiina kinene ne kimugoberera.
2 njalo khangela, olobulephero weza wamkhonza wathi: Nkosi, aluba uthanda ungangihlambulula.
Omusajja omugenge n’ajja gy’ali n’amuvuunamira ng’agamba nti, “Mukama wange, bw’obanga oyagala oyinza okunnongoosa.”
3 UJesu waseselula isandla, wamthinta, wathi: Ngiyathanda, hlambuluka. Njalo ubulephero bakhe bahle bahlanjululwa.
Yesu n’agolola omukono gwe n’amukwatako n’amugamba nti, “Njagala, longooka.” Amangwago omusajja n’awona ebigenge.
4 UJesu wasesithi kuye: Khangela ungatsheli muntu; kodwa hamba, uziveze kumpristi, unikele umnikelo uMozisi awulayayo, kube yibufakazi kubo.
Yesu n’amugamba nti, “Laba, tobaako muntu n’omu gw’obuulira, wabula genda weerage eri kabona otwaleyo n’ekirabo nga Musa bwe yalagira, kibeere obujulirwa gye bali.”
5 Kwathi uJesu esengenile eKapenawume, kweza kuye induna yekhulu imncenga,
Awo Yesu bwe yayingira mu Kaperunawumu, omuserikale Omuruumi, omukulu w’ekitongole ky’abaserikale ekikumi, n’ajja n’amwegayirira,
6 yasisithi: Nkosi, inceku yami ilele endlini yome umhlubulo, isebuhlungwini obukhulu.
ng’agamba nti, “Mukama omulenzi wange mulwadde nnyo, amaze ebbanga ddene ng’akoozimbye ali ku kitanda era abonaabona nnyo.”
7 UJesu wasesithi kuye: Mina ngizakuza ngiyisilise.
Yesu n’amuddamu nti, “Nnajja ne mmuwonya.”
8 Induna yekhulu yasiphendula yathi: Nkosi, kangifanele ukuthi ungene ngaphansi kophahla lwami; kodwa kuphela khuluma ilizwi, njalo inceku yami izasiliswa.
Omukulu w’ekitongole n’agamba Yesu nti, “Mukama, sisaanira kukuyingiza mu nnyumba yange, yogera bwogezi ekigambo, omulenzi wange anaawona!
9 Ngoba lami ngingumuntu ongaphansi kwamandla, ngilamabutho ngaphansi kwami; njalo ngithi kuleli: Hamba, beselihamba; lakwelinye: Woza, beselisiza; lencekwini yami: Yenza lokhu, njalo ikwenze.
Kubanga nange waliwo abakulu abantwala, ate nga nange nnina be nfuga. Bwe ndagira omu nti, ‘Genda,’ agenda, n’omulala nti, ‘Jjangu,’ era ajja, n’omuddu wange nti, ‘Kola kino,’ akikola.”
10 Kwathi uJesu esezwile wamangala, wathi kwabalandelayo: Ngiqinisile ngithi kini: Angitholanga ukholo olungaka ngitsho lakoIsrayeli.
Yesu bwe yawulira ekyo ne yeewunya nnyo, n’agamba abaali bamugoberera nti, “Ddala ddala mbagamba nti, Sinnalabayo muntu alina kukkiriza nga kuno wadde mu lsirayiri!
11 Njalo ngithi kini: Abanengi bazakuza bevela empumalanga lentshonalanga, bahlale loAbrahama loIsaka loJakobe, embusweni wamazulu;
Mbagamba nti bangi baliva ebuvanjuba n’ebugwanjuba ne batuula wamu ne Ibulayimu ne Isaaka ne Yakobo mu bwakabaka obw’omu ggulu.
12 kodwa abantwana bombuso bazaphoselwa emnyameni ongaphandle; lapha kuzakuba khona ukukhala lokugedla amazinyo.
Naye abaana b’obwakabaka, baligoberwa ebweru mu kizikiza ekikutte, eriba okukuba ebiwoobe n’okuluma obujiji.”
13 UJesu wasesithi enduneni yekhulu: Hamba, futhi kakube kuwe njengoba ukholiwe. Inceku yakhe yasisiliswa ngalelohola.
Awo Yesu n’agamba omukulu w’ekitongole Omuruumi nti, “Ggenda. Nga bw’okkirizza kikukolerwe.” Omulenzi we n’awonerawo mu kiseera ekyo.
14 Kwathi uJesu engene endlini kaPetro, wabona uninazala elele njalo ebulawa luqhuqho.
Awo Yesu bwe yayingira mu maka ga Peetero yasanga nnyina wa muka Peetero alwadde omusujja mungi, ng’agalamidde ku kitanda.
15 Wasebamba isandla sakhe, njalo uqhuqho lwamyekela; wasesukuma, wabancedisa.
Yesu n’amukwata ku mukono omusujja ne gumuwonako, n’agolokoka n’amuweereza.
16 Kwathi sekuhlwile baletha kuye abanengi ababengenwe ngamadimoni; wasekhupha omoya ngelizwi, wasilisa bonke abagulayo;
Obudde bwe bwawungeera, ne bamuleetera abalwadde bangi abaaliko baddayimooni. N’ayogera bwogezi kigambo baddayimooni n’abagoba, era n’awonya n’abalala bonna abaali balwadde.
17 ukuze kugcwaliseke okwakhulunywa nguIsaya umprofethi ukuthi: Yena wathatha ubuthakathaka bethu, wazithwala izifo zethu.
Bwe kityo ekigambo ekyayogerebwa mu nnabbi Isaaya ne kituukirira bwe yagamba nti: “Yatuwonya endwadde zaffe, era n’atwala obunafu bwaffe.”
18 Kwathi uJesu ebona amaxuku amakhulu emhanqile, walaya ukuthi bachaphele ngaphetsheya.
Awo Yesu bwe yalaba ng’ekibiina ekimwetoolodde kinene n’alagira bawunguke balage ku ludda olulala.
19 Kwasekusondela umbhali othile wathi kuye: Mfundisi, ngizakulandela loba kungaphi lapho oya khona.
Omu ku bawandiisi b’amateeka n’amusemberera n’amugamba nti, “Omuyigiriza, nnaakugobereranga wonna w’onoogendanga!”
20 UJesu wasesithi kuye: Amakhanka alemilindi, lenyoni zezulu izidleke; kodwa iNdodana yomuntu kayila lapho engaqamelisa ikhanda khona.
Yesu n’amuddamu nti, “Ebibe birina obunnya mwe bisula, n’ennyonyi ez’omu bbanga zirina ebisu, naye Omwana w’Omuntu talina kifo kya kuwumulizaamu mutwe gwe.”
21 Omunye wabafundi bakhe wasesithi kuye: Nkosi, ngivumela ukuthi ngiqale ngiyengcwaba ubaba.
Omuyigirizwa we omu n’amugamba nti, “Mukama wange, nzikiriza mmale okugenda okuziika kitange.”
22 Kodwa uJesu wathi kuye: Ngilandela, uyekele abafileyo bangcwabe ababo abafileyo.
Naye Yesu n’amuddamu nti, “Ngoberera! Leka abo abafu baziike abafu baabwe.”
23 Kwathi esengenile emkhunjini, abafundi bakhe bamlandela.
Yesu n’ayingira mu lyato n’abayigirizwa be.
24 Njalo khangela, kwavuka isiphepho esikhulu olwandle, okungangokuthi umkhumbi wagutshuzelwa ngamagagasi; kodwa yena wayelele.
Awo omuyaga mungi ogw’amaanyi ne gujja ku nnyanja, amayengo amagulumivu ne gaba kumpi okubuutikira eryato. Naye yali yeebase.
25 Basebesondela abafundi bakhe bamvusa, besithi: Nkosi, sisindise, siyabhubha!
Abayigirizwa be ne bajja gy’ali ne bamuzuukusa nga bagamba nti, “Mukama waffe, tulokole, tusaanawo!”
26 Wasesithi kubo: Lesabelani, lina abokholo oluncinyane? Wasesukuma wakhuza imimoya lolwandle; kwasekusiba khona ukuthula okukhulu.
Yesu n’abaddamu nti, “Mmwe abalina okukkiriza okutono! Lwaki mutya bwe mutyo?” N’agolokoka n’aboggolera omuyaga. Omuyaga ne guggwaawo, ennyanja n’eteeka.
27 Kodwa abantu bamangala, besithi: Ngonjani lo, ukuthi lemimoya lolwandle kumlalele?
Naye abayigirizwa ne bawuniikirira nnyo! Ne beebuuza nti, “Muntu ki ono, omuyaga n’ennyanja gwe bigondera?”
28 Kwathi esefikile ngaphetsheya elizweni lamaGergesi, bamhlangabeza ababili ababengenwe ngamadimoni bephuma emangcwabeni, belolaka kakhulu, okungangokuthi kwakungekho odlula ngaleyondlela;
Awo bwe yatuuka emitala w’eri mu nsi y’Abagadaleni, abasajja babiri abaaliko baddayimooni ne bava mu malaalo ne bajja gy’ali. Baali bakambwe nnyo, nga tewali na muntu ayinza kuyita mu kkubo eryo.
29 njalo khangela, bamemeza besithi: Silani lawe, Jesu, Ndodana kaNkulunkulu? Uze lapha yini ukusihlupha kungakafiki isikhathi?
Ne bawowoggana nnyo nti, “Otwagaza ki, ggwe Omwana wa Katonda! Ojjidde ki okutubonyaabonya ng’ekiseera kyaffe tekinnaba kutuuka?”
30 Kwakukhona khatshana labo umhlambi wengulube ezinengi usidla.
Walako ne we baali waaliwo eggana ly’embizzi nga zirya,
31 Amadimoni asemncenga, esithi: Uba usikhupha, sivumela ukuthi sihambe singene emhlanjini wengulube.
baddayimooni ne basaba Yesu nti, “Obanga ogenda kutogoba ku bantu bano, tusindike mu ggana ly’embizzi.”
32 Wasesithi kuwo: Hambani. Esephumile angena emhlanjini wengulube; futhi khangela, umhlambi wonke wengulube waphaphatheka eliweni usiya olwandle, zafela emanzini.
Yesu n’agamba baddayimooni nti, “Kale, mugende.” Ne bava ku bantu, ne bayingira mu mbizzi, eggana lyonna ne lifubutuka ne liva ku bbangabanga ne lyeyiwa mu nnyanja embizzi zonna ne zisaanawo.
33 Abazelusayo basebebaleka, basebesiya emzini babika konke, lezindaba zababengenwe ngamadimoni.
Naye abaali balunda embizzi ne badduka ne bagenda mu kibuga ne babuulira abantu byonna ebibaddewo, n’eby’abasajja abaaliko baddayimooni.
34 Njalo khangela, umuzi wonke waphuma ukumhlangabeza uJesu; bathi bembona, bancenga ukuthi asuke emikhawulweni yakibo.
Abantu b’omu kibuga bonna ne bafuluma okujja okusisinkana Yesu. Bwe baamulaba ne bamwegayirira abaviire mu kitundu kyabwe.
