Luka 8
1 Shipindi shimonga Yesu kagenditi mwanja kupitila mlushi na muvijiji pakabwera Visoweru viwagila vya Ufalumi wa Mlungu. Wantumini lilongu na wawili wagenditi pamuhera nayomberi
Soon after this Jesus went around the towns and villages announcing the good news of God's kingdom. The twelve disciples went with him,
2 na kuweriti na wadala wamu yawaponiziyitwi washamshera na malweli, Mariya yawamshemiti Magidalena, yawamuusiyiti washamshera saba,
along with a number of women who had been healed from evil spirits and sickness: Mary called Magdalene from whom he had cast out seven demons;
3 Yoana mweni mpalu gwakuwi Kuza yakaweriti mtenda lihengu mkulu gwa Herodi, viraa vilii kuweriti na Susana na wadala wamonga wavua watumiiti vyawaweriti navi kumtanga Yesu na wantumini wakuwi.
Joanna, the wife of Herod's manager Chuza; Susanna; and many more who provided support from their personal resources.
4 Wantu waweriti wankumwizira Yesu kulawa kila Iushi na pawaliwoniti pamuhera waweriti lipinga likulu, su yomberi kawagambiriti mfanu agu,
Once when a large crowd of people gathered, coming from many towns to see him, Jesus spoke to them, using a story as an illustration.
5 “Mkweta mbeyu kagenditi kukweta mbeyu. Pakaweriti kankukweta mbeyu, mbeyu zimonga zitulukiti munjira na wagendagenda munjira wazitimbanga na wampongu waziliya.
“A farmer went out to sow his seed. As he scattered the seed, some fell on the road where people trampled on it and birds ate it up.
6 Zimonga zitulukira mumabuwi ga mulitapaka na pazimeriti kala ziyanja kunyala toziya litapaka liweriti lya mashi ndiri.
Some fell on stony ground, and once the seeds had sprouted they withered for lack of moisture.
7 Zimonga zitulukiriti mumisontu, pazimeriti, misontu ilii izibabanika na zisinda kukula.
Some seeds fell among thorns and as they both grew the thorns choked the plants.
8 Na mbeyu zimonga zitulukiriti mulitapaka liherepa, zimera na kulera viboga vivuwa.” Yesu kamaliriti kwa kutakula, “Yakana makutu kapikaniri!”
Some seeds fell on good earth and after they grew they produced a harvest one hundred times more than what had been sown.” After he told them this, he called out, “If you have ears, then listen!”
9 Wafundwa wakuwi wamkosiyiti Yesu mana ya mfanu agu,
But his disciples asked him, “What does this illustration mean?”
10 nayomberi kawankula, “Mwenga mpananwa kuumana ubada wa Ufalumi wa Mlungu, kumbiti wamonga wavimana ndiri mpaka nuwagambiri kwa mifanu, su pawalola hapeni wawoni na pawapikanira hapeni wavimani.
Jesus replied, “You've been given insights into the mysteries of God's kingdom, but the rest are given illustrations, so that, ‘Even though they see, they don't really see; and even though they hear, they don't really understand.’
11 “Mfanu agu ndo gutakula hangu, mbeyu ndo shisoweru sha Mlungu.
This is the meaning of the illustration: The seed is God's word.
12 Mbeyu zilii zyazitulukiriti munjira mana yakuwi, woseri yawapikanira shisoweru sha Mlungu, kumbiti Shetani kiza na kushiwusiya shisoweru shilii mumyoyu mwawu, su hapeni wajimili na kulopoziwa.
The seeds that fall on the road are those who hear the message, but then the devil comes and steals away the truth from their minds so they won't trust in God and be saved.
13 Mbeyu zyazitulukiriti mulibuwi mana yakuwi woseri yawapikanira ujumbi na kuuwanka kwa nemeru. Kumbiti wahera mishigira mitali, wajimira kwa shipindi shididini hera na shipindi sha kujerwa pashiza, waleka shawapikaniriti.
The seeds that fall on the stony ground are those who hear and welcome the message with joy but don't have any roots. They trust for a while but when difficult times come they give up.
14 Mbeyu zilii zyaziturukiriti mumisontu mana yakuwi, woseri yawapikaniriti shisoweru sha Mlungu, su lyoga na ulunda na vinoganoga vyawabojola hapeni waleri mabwajubwaju yagakamala.
The seeds that fall among thorns are those who hear the message but it's choked out by life's distractions—worries, wealth, pleasure—so they don't produce anything.
15 Na mbeyu zilii zyazitulukiriti mulitapaka liherepa mana yakuwi, woseri yawashipikanira shisoweru sha Mlungu, pawashijimila kwa moyu gwoseri na gwa kujimira. Awa ndo wagangamala mpaka pawalera mabwajubwaju.”
The seeds sown on good earth are those who are honest and do what is right. They hear the message of truth, hold on to it, and through their perseverance produce a good harvest.
16 “Wantu hapeni wawashi limuliku na kuligubikira mulidebi ama walituli mulivungu mwa shitanda. Kumbiti hawalituli pampindi pashintambi su wantu pawingira mnumba wawoni kulangala ndaa.
You don't light a lamp and then cover it with a bucket, or hide it under a bed. No, you put it on a stand, so that anyone who comes in can see the light.
17 “Shoseri shawatenditi kwa kufifwa hashiwoneki na shoseri shawatenditi muluwindu hashimaniki na woseri.
For there's nothing hidden that won't be revealed; there's nothing secret that won't become known and obvious.
18 “Mlikali weri, ntambu yampikanira, toziya yakawera na shintu hawamwongeri, kumbiti ulii yakahera shintu ata shilii shakawera nashi hawampoki.”
So pay attention how you ‘hear.’ To those who have received, more will be given; from those who don't receive, even what they think they have will be taken away!”
19 Mawu gwa Yesu na walongu wakuwi wamgenderiti, kumbiti wasinda kumsegelera pakwegera toziya ya lipinga lya wantu.
Then Jesus' mother and brothers arrived, but they couldn't get through the crowd to see him.
20 Muntu yumu kamgambiriti Yesu, “Mawu na walongu waku wakunja, wafira wakuwoni.”
Jesus was told, “Your mother and your brothers are outside. They want to see you.”
21 Yesu kawagambiriti woseri, “Mawu na walongu wangu ndo woseri yawashipikanira shisoweru sha Mlungu na kushijimira.”
“My mother and my brothers are those who hear God's word, and do what it says,” Jesus replied.
22 Lishaka limu Yesu pamuhera na wafundwa wakuwi wakweniti mumtumbwi na kawagambira, “Tuloki litanda, tugendi kumwambu.” Su wanja mwanja.
One day Jesus said to his disciples, “Let's cross over to the other side of the lake.” So they got into a boat and set off.
23 Pawaweriti wankuloka, Yesu kaweriti na mpota su kagonja. Lyega likulu lyanja kuvuma, mashi ganja kwingira mumtumbwi, su wawera mukutenduwa, kubidukira mumashi.
As they were sailing, Jesus fell asleep, and a storm came down on the lake. The boat began filling with water and they were in danger of sinking.
24 Wantumini wamgendera Yesu na kumwimusiya, walonga, “Mtuwa, Mtuwa! Twankusokera!” Yesu kimuka, kalikalipira lyega pamuhera na mawimbi ga mashi, su vyoseri vyoya na kuweriti kuzindawala jiii.
They went over to Jesus and woke him up. “Master, master, we're going to drown!” they said. Jesus woke up and commanded the wind and the rough waves to stop. They stopped, and all was calm.
25 Kawagambira wantumini wakuwi, “Yakoshi njimiru yenu?” Kumbiti womberi walikangasha na kuwera na lyoga, waligambiziyana weni, “Ayu muntu gwa ntambu gaa? Kalikalipiriti lyega na mawimbi ga mashi na vyoseri vimjimira!”
“Where is your trust?” he asked them. Terrified and amazed, they said to each other, “So who is this? He gives commands to the winds and the water, and they obey him!”
26 Yesu na wantumintumi wakuwi wendereyiti na mwanja, wasoka kumpwani kwa isi ya Gerasi yapakwegera na Galilaya, kumwambu kulitanda.
They sailed across to the Gerasene region that lies opposite Galilee.
27 Yesu pakasulukiti kumpenku, kaliwoniti na muntu yakeniti washamshera, kamwizira kulawa mulushi. Kwa shipindi shivuwa muntu ayu kaweriti kagendagenda shivula na kalikala ndiri ukaya, kumbiti kalikaliti kumapumba.
When Jesus stepped out of the boat onto the shore, a demon-possessed man from the town came to meet him. For a long time he hadn't worn any clothes or lived in a house. He lived in the tombs.
28 Pakamwoniti Yesu, kabotanga, kasuntama pamagulu ga Yesu pakalonga kwa liziwu likulu, “Yesu Mwana gwa Mlungu gwa Kumpindi nentu! Gufira kutenda ashi kwa neni? Shondi shondi nukuluwa naguntenda!”
When he saw Jesus he screamed, fell down at Jesus' feet, and asked in a loud voice, “What do you want with me, Jesus, Son of the Most High God? Please don't torture me, I beg you!”
29 Kalongiti hangu toziya Yesu kamgambiriti shamshera kamlawi. Shipindi shivuwa shamshera ulii kamwigilanga muntu ayu, tembera wantu wamtuliti mushibetubetu, mawoku na magulu gakuwi wagatawiti kwa minyololu kumbiti yomberi kayidumuliti na shamshera kamtugiziyiti kushiwala.
For Jesus had already commanded the evil spirit to leave the man. It had often seized him, and despite being tied down with chains and shackles, and placed under guard, he would break the chains apart and would be driven by the demon into the desert areas.
30 Yesu kamkosiya muntu uliya, “Litawa lyaku gwagani?” Yomberi kamwankula, “Litawu lyangu ‘Tuvuwa.’” Katakuriti hangu toziya kaweriti na washamshera wavuwa.
“What is your name?” Jesus asked him. “Legion,” he replied, for many demons had entered him.
They begged Jesus not to order them to go into the Abyss. (Abyssos g12)
32 Palii pawaweriti na lipinga likulu lya wamtumbi lya pakwegera, waweriti wakuliya mumpeku mwa mulugongu. Su washamshera wamluwiti Yesu kawajimiri wawayingiri wamtumbi, nayomberi kawajimira.
There was a large herd of pigs feeding on the nearby hillside, and the demons begged him to be allowed to go into the pigs. Jesus gave them permission,
33 Washamshera wamlawiti muntu uliya na kugenda kuwayingira wamtumbi. Wamtumbi woseri watugiti pawaserera na kutulukira mumashi na wafuwiti woseri.
so the demons left the man and entered the pigs. The herd rushed down the steep slope into the lake and drowned.
34 Walolera wa mifugu walii pawawoniti galii yagalawiriti, watugiriti mulushi na muvijiji pawalonga shashilawiriti
When the pig-keepers saw what had happened they ran off and spread the news through the town and the countryside.
35 Wantu wiza kulola shashilawiriti na pawaweriti wankumwizira Yesu, wamuwoniti muntu uliya yakeniti na washamshera kalikaliti pakwegera pamagulu ga Yesu, kaweriti kavaliti nguwu na kana mahala, su woseri waweriti na lyoga.
The people went out to see what had happened. When they came to Jesus they found the man freed from the demons. He was sitting there at Jesus' feet, wearing clothes and in his right mind; and they became scared.
36 Woseri yawaviwoniti vilii vyavilawiriti wawagambiriti wantu ntambu yakaponiti muntu ulii.
Those who had seen what happened explained how the demon-possessed man had been healed.
37 Wantu woseri wenikaya wa lushi lwa Gerasi wamgambiriti Yesu kawuki, toziya waweriti na lyoga nentu. Su Yesu kakwena mumtumbwi na kuwuka.
Then all the people from the Gerasene region asked Jesus to leave because they were overwhelmed by fear. So he got into the boat and went back.
38 Muntu yawamuusiyiti washamshera kamluwa Yesu pakamgambira, “Nfira kugenda na gwenga.” Kumbiti Yesu kamjimira ndiri wagendi pamuhera, su kamgambiriti,
The man who had been freed from the demons begged to go with him, but Jesus sent him away.
39 “Guwuyi ukaya na katakuli shilii ntambu Mlungu shakakutendiriti.” Su muntu uliya kagenditi kulushi na kutakula ntambu Yesu shakamtendiriti.
“Go back home, and tell people all that God has done for you,” Jesus told him. So he went away, telling the whole town all that Jesus had done for him.
40 Yesu pakawuyiti uwega umonga wa litanda, wantu wamshemiriti toziya waweriti wankumuhepelera.
A crowd of people was there to welcome Jesus when he returned, all eagerly expecting him.
41 Pala kiza muntu yawamshema Yairu, kaweriti mkulu gwa numba ya Mlungu. Kasuntama palongolu pa magulu ga Yesu na kumhiga pakamgambira wagendi ukaya kwakuwi,
One was a man called Jairus, a synagogue leader, who came and fell at Jesus' feet. He pleaded with Jesus to come to his home
42 toziya kaweriti na nafunda yumu hera, yakaweriti na mivinja lilongu na miwili su kaweriti kankulwala tashitashi. Yesu pakaweriti kankugendagenda, wantu wambabanika wega zoseri,
because his only daughter was dying. She was about twelve years old. While Jesus was on his way there, people were crowding around him.
43 mngati mwawu kuweriti na mdala yakalwaliti kusuma mwazi mivinja lilongu na miwili, tembera katumiyiti ulunda wakuwi woseri kwa waganga kumbiti wamponiziya ndiri.
In the crowd was a woman who had suffered with bleeding for twelve years. She had spent all she had on doctors, but none of them had been able to help her.
44 Mdala ayu kamfwatiti Yesu kumbeli mulipinga lilii na kashinkuriti lusepi lwa nguwu ya Yesu, su palaa palii kusuma mwazi kwoya.
She approached Jesus from behind and touched the hem of his cloak. Immediately the bleeding stopped.
45 Yesu kakosiya, “Gaa kanshinkuliti?” Kila muntu kalemiti na Peteru katakuliti, “Mtuwa, lipinga lya wantu likutindiriti na kukubabanika.”
“Who touched me?” Jesus asked. Everybody around denied doing so. “But Master,” said Peter, “there are people crowding around you, and they keep pushing up against you.”
46 Kumbiti Yesu kalonga, “Nuvimana kwana muntu kanshinkula, mana nuvimana makakala ga kuponiziya gantawa.”
“Someone touched me,” Jesus replied. “I know because power went out from me.”
47 Mdala ulii pakawoniti kaweza ndiri kulififa, su kiza kwa kutetema na kusuntama palongolu pa magulu ga Yesu. Kaweriti kulongolu kwa kila muntu, kamgambiriti ntambu yakamshikuliti na ntambu yakaponiti kamkam hera.
When the woman realized she couldn't go unnoticed, she came forward, trembling, and fell down before him. Right in front of everybody she explained the reason why she had touched Jesus, and that she'd been cured immediately.
48 Yesu kamgambira mdala ulii, “Nafunda gwangu, njimiru yaku ikuponiziya. Gugendi kwa ponga.”
Jesus said to her, “Daughter, your trust has healed you, go in peace.”
49 Yesu pakaweriti kankali kankuyowera hangu, mjumbi kiza kulawa kunumba ya Yairu. Kamgambiriti Yairu, “Nafunda gwaku kahowa, nagumgaziya hera Mfunda.”
While he was still speaking, someone came from the home of the synagogue leader to tell him, “Your daughter's dead. You don't need to bother the Teacher any longer.”
50 Kumbiti Yesu pakapikaniriti aga, kamgambira Yairu, “Nagwana lyoga, gujimiri hera hakaponi.”
But when he heard this, Jesus told Jairus, “Don't be afraid. If you trust, she will be healed.”
51 Pakasokiti pakaya, kabera muntu yoseri kwingira mnumba, ira Peteru na Yohani na Yakobu na tati na mawu gwa mwana yakahowiti.
When Jesus arrived at the house he didn't allow anyone else to go in except Peter, John, and James, and the girl's father and mother.
52 Kila muntu kaweriti kankulira na kudaya toziya ya nafunda ulii. Yesu kawagambira, “Namlira! Mwana kahowa ndiri ira kagonja hera.”
All the people there were crying and mourning for her. “Don't cry,” Jesus told them. “She's not dead, she's just sleeping.”
53 Wantu woseri wamseka, toziya wavimaniti mwana kahowiti.
They laughed at him, because they knew that she was dead.
54 Kumbiti Yesu kambata liwoku na kumshema, “Mwana gwangu gwimuki!”
But Jesus took her by the hand, and said in a loud voice, “My child, get up!”
55 Ukomu wakuwi umuwuyira, palaa palii kimuka, su Yesu kawagambiriti mawu na tati gwakuwi wamupi shintu shakuliya.
She came back to life, and she got up at once. Jesus told them to give her something to eat.
56 Mawu na tati gwakuwi walikangashiti, kumbiti Yesu kawagambira nawamgambira muntu galii gagatendikiti.
Her parents were astonished at what had happened, but Jesus instructed them not to tell anyone about it.
