< Luka 8 >

1 Jhatokili muda mfupi baada jha kwamba Yesu ajhandili kusafiri mu miji ni jiji mbalimbali, akihubiri ni kutangasya habari sinofu sya ufalme bhwa K'yara ni bhala kumi ni bhabhele bhalotili pamonga nakhu,
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 khelakhela, bhadala fulani bhabhaponyisibhu kuhoma kwa roho bhachafu ni matamu mbalimbali. Bhajhele ndo Mariamu jhaakutibhu Magdalena ambajhe ajhele abhosibhu mapepo 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 Yohana ndala ghwa Kuza ni meneja ghwa Herode, Susana, ni bhadala bhangi bhingi, bhabhapisili mali jha muene Kwandabha jha bhene.
Joanna, the wife of Herod's manager Chuza; Susanna; and many more who provided support from their personal resources.
4 Ni baada jha umati bhwa bhanu kubhonganika pamonga bhakajha ni bhanu bha bhahideghe kwa muene kuhoma miji mbalimbali, akalongela nabhu kwa kutumila mifuanu. “
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 Mpandaji akalota kupanda mbeyu, bho apandili, baadhi sya mbeyu e'su sya binili kando jha jhela syakanyibhu pasi pa magolo, ni fidege fya angani fyalili.
“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 Mbeyu senge syabinili panani pa udongo bhwa miamba na bho simelili ni kujha miche bho sibholili kwa ndabha jha kutokujha ni unyevunyevu.
Some fell on stony ground, and once the seeds had sprouted they withered for lack of moisture.
7 Mbeyu s'enge syabinili mu mumabehe gha mifwa, ni ejhu mabehe ghya mifwa ghyakholili pamonga ni mifwa ghela ni mbeyu syasongibhu.
Some seeds fell among thorns and as they both grew the thorns choked the plants.
8 Lakini mbeyu s'enge syabinili mu udongo bhwawilondeka na syahoguili mazao mara mia nesu. “Baada jha Yesu kujobha mambo agha akwesi sauti, “Jhejhioha jha ajhe ni mb'olokoto na ap'elekayi.”
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 Kabhele bhanafunzi bha muene bhakan'kota ndabha jha mfano obhu,
But his disciples asked him, “What does this illustration mean?”
10 Yesu akabhajobhela, “Mupelibhu upendeleo bhwa kumanya siri jha ufalme bhwa K'yara, lakini bhanu bhamana bhibetakufundisibhwa tu kwa mifuano, ili kwamba 'bhakabhonayi bhasibhone na bhakap'elekayi bhasichelibhwi.'
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 Na ejhe ndo maana jha mfano obho. Mbeyu ndo lilobhi lya K'yara.
This is the meaning of the illustration: The seed is God's word.
12 Mbeyu s'ele syasabinili kando jha njela ndo bhanu bhabhip'eleka litobhi, ni baadaye mwovu shetani akalilota patali mu mioyo, ili kwamba bhasiamini ni kuokolibhwa.
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 Kisha ni s'ela syasibinili mu muamba ndo bhanu bhala bhabhip'oleka lilobhi ni kulipokela kwa furaha lakini bhajhelepi ni mizizi gheghioha, bhiamini ku kwa muda mfupi, ni wakati bhwa majaribu bhibina.
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 Ni mbeyu s'ela syasibinili mu mifwa ndo bhanu bhabhakalip'eleka lilobhi, lakini pabhijhendelela kutama bhisongibhwa ni huduma sya utajiri ni unofu bhwa maisha agha na bhihogola lepi matunda.
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 Lakini mbeyu s'ela syasibini mu udongo unofu ndo bhale bhanu, ambabho bhanyenyekevu ni mioyo minofu, baada jha kulipeleka litobhi bhakalikamulila ni kujha salama ni kuhogola matunda gha uvumilivu.
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 Henu, ajhelepi hata mmonga, jhaibhwasya taa ni kuifunika kwa bakuli au kujhibheka pasi pa kitanda. Badala jha kujhibheka pa kinara kya taa ili kwamba khila mmonga jhaijhingila akabhayi kujhibhona.
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 Kwa kujha kijhelepi kya kifighama ambakyo kibetalepi kumanyikana, au kyokyoha kya kijhele sirini ambakyo kibetalepi kumanyikana kikajhelayi mu muanga.
For there's nothing hidden that won't be revealed; there's nothing secret that won't become known and obvious.
18 Kwa hiyo jhelayi makini pawijha wip'elekesya. Kwandabha jhaajhihenaku, kwa muene ibetakujhongesibhwa nesu, lakini jhaabelikujha naku, hata khela kidebe kya ajhenaku kitolibhwa.”
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 Baadaye nyinamunu wa Yesu ni bhalongo munu bhakahida kwa muene bhahegelili lepi kwandabha jha umati bhwa bhanu.
Then Jesus' mother and brothers arrived, but they couldn't get through the crowd to see him.
20 Na ajobhibhu, “Nyinamunu ni bhalongobhu bhajhele pibhala bhilonda kubhona bhebhe.
Jesus was told, “Your mother and your brothers are outside. They want to see you.”
21 Lakini, Yesu ajibili ni kujobha, “Mabhu wa nene ni bhalongo bhangu ndo bhala bhabhip'elekesya lilobhi lya K'yara ni kulitii.”
“My mother and my brothers are those who hear God's word, and do what it says,” Jesus replied.
22 Jhatokili ligono limonga kati jha magono ghala Yesu ni bhanafunzi bha muene apakeme mu bhuatu ni kubhajobhela, “Tulobhokayi kwiseli jha pili jha nyanja.”Bhakaandala mashua gha bhene.
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 Lakini bho bhajhandi kubhoka, Yesu agonili lugono, ni linyegha libhaha ni mp'ongo, ni mashua jhikajhanda kumema masi na lajhele libhaha sana.
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 Baadaye bhanafunzi bha muene bhakahida kwa muene ni kunjumusya, bhakajobha, “Bwana mkubhwa! Bwana mkubhwa! tujhe karibu kufwa!” Akajhumuka ni kubhubesya mbelu ni bhuene bhwagudeme masi ghagudeme na kwatulili.
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 Kabhele akabhajobhela, “Imani jha muenga ijhendaku?” Bhakatila, bhashangele, bhakajobhesana kila mmonga ni njinu, “Ojho niani, kiasi kwamba iamuru hata mp'ongo ni masi na bhukan'tii?”
“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 Bhakafika mu mji bhwa Gerasini jhaijhele upande bhwa kunyuma jha Galilaya.
They sailed across to the Gerasene region that lies opposite Galilee.
27 Yesu bho aselili ni kukanya pa ardhi munu fulani kuhoma kumjini akabhonana naku, na munu ojhu ajhe ni nghofu sya giza. Kwa muda mrefu afwalepi nghobho, na atamelepi munyumba, atameghe kumakaburi.
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 lkojo okay ya paBho ambwene Yesu akalela kwa sauti, ni kubina pasi mbele jha muene kwa sauti mbaha akajobha, Niketikiki kwa bhebhe, Yesu ghwa K'yara jha ajhe kunani? Nikusihi usinitobhi nene”
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 Yesu akaamuru roho chafu jhimbokayi munu jhola kwa kujha mara nyingi apangili. Na hata kama ajhe mfungwa minyororo ni kubanibhwa ni kubhekibhwa chini jha ulinzi, adenyi fifungu ni kugendesibhwa ni mapepo hadi ku jangwa.
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 akan'kota, “Lihina lya jhobhi niani?” akajibu ni kujobha, “Legioni” kwamana mapepo mingi ghajhingili kwa muene.
“What is your name?” Jesus asked him. “Legion,” he replied, for many demons had entered him.
31 Bhakajhendelela kun'sihi usituamuru tulolayi mu lilende. (Abyssos g12)
They begged Jesus not to order them to go into the Abyss. (Abyssos g12)
32 Likundi lya maghorobhi lidimibhweghe pa kid'onda, bhakan'sihi bhakajhingilayi kwa ghala maghorobhi. Ni kubharuhusu kukheta naha.
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 Kwa hiyo bhala mapepo bhakamboka munu jhola ni kujhingila mu maghorobhi ni likundi lela likajumbilila mu magema gha kid'onda mpaka kumanga ni kujhibhila omu.
so the demons left the man and entered the pigs. The herd rushed down the steep slope into the lake and drowned.
34 Bhanu bhala bha bhadimeghe maghorobhi ghala bho bhabhuene kya kihomili, bhakajumba ni kuh'omesya taarifa ku mjini ni kwibhala jha mji jha jhisyonguiki.
When the pig-keepers saw what had happened they ran off and spread the news through the town and the countryside.
35 Bhanu bhobhapeliki aghu bhakalota kulola kya kihomili, na bhakahida kwa Yesu na bhakambona munu ambajhe mapepo gha mbokili. ajhele afwalili kinofu na ajhe ni luhala lwoha, atamili magolo gha Yesu na bhatilili
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 Ndipo mmonga bhabhi jhaabhwene kyakahomili ajhandili kubhapangila bhangi jinsi munu ojho jhaalongisibhweghe ni mapepo kyaaponyibhu.
Those who had seen what happened explained how the demon-possessed man had been healed.
37 Bhanu bhoha bha mkoa ghwa Bhageresi ni maeneo gha ghasyonguiki bhan'sokili Yesu abhokayi kwa bhene Kwandabha bhajhele ni hofu mbaha. Na ajhingili mu bhuatu ili akerebhukayi.
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 Munu jhola jhaajhe ni mapepo an'sihili Yesu kubhoka naku, lakini Yesu akan'jobhela alotayi ni kujobha,
The man who had been freed from the demons begged to go with him, but Jesus sent him away.
39 “Ukerebhukayi kunyumba jha jhobhi na ubhalangayi ghala ghoha ambagho k'yara akubhombili” Munu ojho akabhoka, akatangasya poha mu mji bhuoha ghala ghoha ambagho Yesu aghabhombili kwa muene.
“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 Ni Yesu akakerebhuka, makutano bhakan'karibisya, kwandabha bhoha bhakajha bhakandendela.
A crowd of people was there to welcome Jesus when he returned, all eagerly expecting him.
41 Langayi akahida munu mmonga ikutibhwa Yairo ni mmonga kati jha bhalongosi mu sinagogi. Yairo akabina pa magolo gha Yesu ni kun'sihi alotayi kunyumba jha muene,
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 Kwandabha ajhele ni muana n'dala mmonga tu, mwenye umri bhwa miaka kumi ni mibhele, na ajhele mu hali jha kufwa. Na bho ilota, makutano bhakajha bhisongamana dhidi jha muene.
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 N'dala mwenye kupisya damu miaka kumi ni mibhele ajhele pala na atumili hela syoha kwa bhaganga, lakini ajhelepi hata mmonga jha amponyisi,
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 ahidili kunyuma jha Yesu ni kukamula pindo lya liguanda lya muene ni ghafla kupita damu kukaleka.
She approached Jesus from behind and touched the hem of his cloak. Immediately the bleeding stopped.
45 Yesu akajobha, “Niani anikamuili?” Bhobhabelili bhoha, Petro akajobha, Bwana mkubhwa, umati bhwa bhanu bhikusukuma ni kusongana.”
“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 Lakini Yesu akajobha, “Munu mmonga anigusili, mana nimanyili nghofu sinibhokili kwa nene.”
“Someone touched me,” Jesus replied. “I know because power went out from me.”
47 N'dala bho abhuene ibhwesyalepi kwifigha kyaakikhetili, akajhanda kutetemeka, akabina pasi palongolo jha Yesu akatangasya mbele jha bhanu bhoha sababu syaabhombili an'gusayi ni fela kya aponyibhu ghafla.
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 Kisha akajobha kwa muene, “Binti, imani jha jhobhi hikubhombili ujhelayi ghwa mzima. Lotayi kwa amani.”
Jesus said to her, “Daughter, your trust has healed you, go in peace.”
49 Bho ijhendelela kujobha, munu mmonga akahida kuh'oma munyumba jha ndongosi ghwa sinagogi, akajobha, “Binti ghwa jhobhi afuili. Usin'sumbuli mwalimu.”
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 Lakini Yesu bho ap'eliki naha, an'jibili, “Usitili. Aminiayi tu, na ibeta kuokolibhwa.”
But when he heard this, Jesus told Jairus, “Don't be afraid. If you trust, she will be healed.”
51 Kisha bho ajhingili mu nyumba ejhu, aruhusuili lepi munu jhejhioha kujhingila pamonga ni muene, isipokujha Petro, Yohana ni Yakobo, Dadi munu ghwa binti, ni nyinamunu.
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 Henu bhanu bhoha bhakajobha bhiomboleza ni kuhomesya sauti kwandabha jha muene, lakini akajobha, “Musipigi makelele, afwilepi, lakini agonili tu.”
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 Lakini bhakan'heka kwa dharau, bhamanyi kujha afuili.
They laughed at him, because they knew that she was dead.
54 Lakini muene, akan'kamula binti kibhoko, akakuta kwa sauti, akajobha, “Muana, jhemayi”
But Jesus took her by the hand, and said in a loud voice, “My child, get up!”
55 roho jha muene jhikan'kerebhukila, na ajhinuiki wakati bhobhuobhu. Akaamrisha kujha apelibhwayi khenu fulani ili aliajhi.
She came back to life, and she got up at once. Jesus told them to give her something to eat.
56 Bhazazi bha muene bhashangele, lakini abhaamuiri bhasin'jobheli munu kyakatokili.
Her parents were astonished at what had happened, but Jesus instructed them not to tell anyone about it.
