Luka 8
1 Pagamaliki ago Yesu akahamba mumiji na muhijiji hingi kuvajovela vandu Lilovi la Bwina la Unkosi wa Chapanga. Vawuliwa vaki kumi na vavili vakalongosana nayu.
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 Pamonga na vadala vevawusiwi mizuka na vevalamisiwi matamu na Yesu, venavo vavi, Maliya mkolonjinji wa Magidala mweawusiwi mizuka saba yihakau,
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 na Yoana mdala waki Kuza, Kuza mweavi myimilila nyumba ya Helodi, Susana na vadala vangi vamahele. Vevawusili vindu yavi ndava ya kumtangatila Yesu na vawuliwa vaki vayendelela na lihengu lavi.
Joanna, the wife of Herod's manager Chuza; Susanna; and many more who provided support from their personal resources.
4 Vandu vamahele vambwelalili Yesu kuhuma kukila muji, na msambi uvaha pawakonganiki, Yesu akavajovela luhumu ulu.
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 Mundu mweahambili kumija mbeyu zaki. Na peamija mbeyu, zingi zikagwilila munjila na vandu vakazilivatila, na videge vikahola.
“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 Zingi zikagwilila paludaka luna maganga pezatumbulayi kumela zikanyala muni pavi lepi na manji.
Some fell on stony ground, and once the seeds had sprouted they withered for lack of moisture.
7 Zingi zikagwilila muminga, ndi minga zikamela pamonga nazu, zikazihinya.
Some seeds fell among thorns and as they both grew the thorns choked the plants.
8 Zingi zagwili paludaka lwabwina, zikamela limonga likapambika ng'onyo. Yesu akamalisila kwa lwami luvaha, “Mweavi na makutu ga kuyuwana ayuwana!”
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 Vawuliwa vaki vakamkota Yesu, luhumu lula mana yaki kyani.
But his disciples asked him, “What does this illustration mean?”
10 Mwene akavayangula, “Nyenye muhotiswi kumanya ufiyu wa Unkosi wa Chapanga, nambu lepi kwa avo vangi, vene vijoviwa kwa luhumu, muni vakalolayi nakuhotola kulola na vakayuwana nakumanya.”
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 “Luhumu ulu mana yaki. Mbeyu ndi lilovi la Chapanga.
This is the meaning of the illustration: The seed is God's word.
12 Chechihumili kwa mbeyu zezagwili munjila, ndi luhumu lwa vandu veviyuwana lilovi la Chapanga, kangi Setani peibwela na kuliwusa mumitima yavi vakotoka kusadika na kusanguliwa.
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 Mewawa chechehumili kwa mbeyu zezagwili pamaganga, ndi luhumu wa vandu veviyuwana lilovi na kulipokela kwa luheku. Nambu vandu vangali mikiga mugati yavi, na lukumbi pevilingiwa vikotoka.
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 Kangi chechihumili kwa mbeyu zezagwili paminga, ndi luhumu wa vandu veviyuwana lilovi la Chapanga, pa lukumbi luhupi peviyendelela na Lilovi lenilo, vene vihinyiwa na mahengu ga kuvya na vindu vyamahele na mambu ga bwina ga pamulima, ndi na kupambika matunda gakakangala.
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 Ndi mbeyu zezagwili paludaka lwabwina, ndi luhumu wa vandu vevayuwini lilovi na kulivika mumitima yavi na kuyidakila bwina. Vikangamala mumitima mbaka kupambika matunda.”
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 “Vandu vipambika lepi hahi na kuyigubika na chiviga amala kuyivika kuhi kuchitanda. Nambu vandu vivika hahi panani pachibokoselu, muni vandu veviyingila mugati valola bwina.”
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 “Muni chochoha chechifiyiki, yati chigubukuliwa na chindu chochoha cha mfiyu yati chimanyikana na voha.”
For there's nothing hidden that won't be revealed; there's nothing secret that won't become known and obvious.
18 “Mujiyangalilayi chemwiyuwana, muni mweavi nachu yati iyonjokeswa, nambu mundu mwanga chindu, hati chila chidebe cheihololela kuvya nachu yati chinyagiwa.”
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 Nyina waki na valongo vaki Yesu vakamuhambalila, ndava ya msambi wa vandu wula nakuhotola kumuhegelela.
Then Jesus' mother and brothers arrived, but they couldn't get through the crowd to see him.
20 Mundu mmonga akamjovela Yesu, “Nyina waku na valongo vaku vayimili kuvala, vigana kukulola.”
Jesus was told, “Your mother and your brothers are outside. They want to see you.”
21 Nambu Yesu akavajovela vandu, “Nyina wangu na valongo vangu ndi vala veviyuwana lilovi la Chapanga na kulikamula.”
“My mother and my brothers are those who hear God's word, and do what it says,” Jesus replied.
22 Na kavili ligono limonga Yesu peakweli muwatu pamonga na vawuliwa vaki, akavajovela, “Tikupuka kumwambu ya nyanja.” Vakatumbula kukupuka.
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 Pavahambayi muwatu wula, Yesu agonili lugono. Ndi chimbungululu chikatumbula kutova munyanja mula na manji gakatumbula kuyingila muwatu wavi mkulemala neju.
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 Vawuliwa vaki vamhambali vakamuyumusa na vakamjovela, “Bambu, Bambu Tifwa!” Yesu akayumuka, akachilakalila chimbungululu chila na luyuga lwa manji ndi vikaguna na kukavya teke.
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 Kangi akavajovela vawuliwa vaki, “Kusadika kwinu kuvi koki?” Vene vakakangasa na kuyogopa kuni vijovelana, “Mundu uyu wa namuna yoki? Hati ihotola kugunisa chimbungululu na luyuga na vyene vimyidikila!”
“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 Vakakupuka na kuhika kumbwani ya kumuji wa mulima wa Vagelasi wewalolasini na Galilaya kumwambu ya nyanja.
They sailed across to the Gerasene region that lies opposite Galilee.
27 Yesu peahulwiki muwatu na kulivatila mbwani, mundu mmonga wa muji wula, mweavi na mizuka ambwelalili. Mundu mwenuyo kwa magono gamahele awala lepi nyula wala atamili lepi munyumba yoyoha yila, ndi atamali mumbugu la kuzikila vandu.
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 Peamuweni Yesu akavemba kwa lwami luvaha na kumgwilila pamagendelu, “Wa, Yesu veve Mwana wa Chapanga Mkulu! Una kyani na nene? Pepayi chonde kotoka kuning'aha!”
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 Ajovili genago muni Yesu amali kuuhakalila mzuka wula umuwukayi mundu yula. Pamahele mzuka wamzangila mundu yula pamonga na vandu kumuvika mugati na kumkunga minyololo mu mawoko na mumagendelu nambu pamahele adenyayi vifungo vyenivyo, na kujumbiswa kwa makakala ga mzuka wenuwo mbaka kulugangatu.
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 akamkota, “Liina laku yani?” Akayangula, “Liina langu Msambi.” Ndava mizuka yamahele yamuyingili.
“What is your name?” Jesus asked him. “Legion,” he replied, for many demons had entered him.
31 Mizuka yila yikamjovela Yesu pepayi chonde akotoka kuyipeleka kuligodi langali mwishu. (Abyssos g12)
They begged Jesus not to order them to go into the Abyss. (Abyssos g12)
32 Kwavi na maguluvi gamahele gevadimayi kuchitumbi pandu penapo, ndi mizuka yila yikamuyupa Yesu yihamba kuyingila mumaguluvi gala. Yesu akayileka yihamba.
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 Ndi mizuka yila yikamuwuka mundu yula yikagayingila maguluvi gala, na msambi wa maguluvi ukahelela munyanja na kuyongomela, gakafwa mumanji.
so the demons left the man and entered the pigs. The herd rushed down the steep slope into the lake and drowned.
34 Vadimaji va maguluvi pevaloli gegahumali vakajumba, kuhamba kumuji na kumigunda kuvajovela vandu ujumbi.
When the pig-keepers saw what had happened they ran off and spread the news through the town and the countryside.
35 Vandu vakabwela kulola gegahumalili, vakamuhambalila Yesu, vamuwene mundu mwe yamuhumili mizuka yula, atamili papipi na magendelu ga Yesu, awali nyula, na avi na luhala lwaki bwina. Voha vakayogopa.
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 Vandu vevagaweni mambu genago, vakavajovela vayavi chealamiswi mundu yula.
Those who had seen what happened explained how the demon-possessed man had been healed.
37 Vakolonjinji voha wa ku Gelasi vakavya na wogohi neju. Vakamuyupa Yesu awukayi ahamba kungi. Yesu akakwela muwatu akawuka.
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 Mundu mweamuwusi mizuka yula, amuyupili Yesu valongosanayi. Nambu Yesu nakumuyidakila, ndi akamjovela,
The man who had been freed from the demons begged to go with him, but Jesus sent him away.
39 “Wuya kunyumba yaku ukavajovelayi gaakuhengili Chapanga.” Ndi mundu yula akahamba kila pandu kumuji woha akuvajovela vandu chaamhengili Yesu.
“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 paawuyili kumwambu yingi ya nyanja, avakoli msambi wa vandu vampokali chaluheku, ndava voha vamlindilayi.
A crowd of people was there to welcome Jesus when he returned, all eagerly expecting him.
41 Penapo akabwela mundu mmonga liina laki Yailusi avi chilongosi wa nyumba ya kukonganekela akamfugamila Yesu mumagendelu, akamuyupa Yesu ahamba kunyumba yaki,
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 muni msikana waki ngayuyoyo mmonga, wa miiyaka kumi na yivili avi mtamu papipi kufwa. Yesu avi mukuhamba, msambi wa vandu wavi kumuhinya kila upandi.
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 Kwavi na mdala mmonga pagati ya msambi wula wa vandu, avi na utamu wa kuhuma ngasi miyaka kumi na yivili, amalili kuwusa vindu vyaki vyoha kuvapela valamisa, kawaka mweahotwili kumlamisa.
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 yula akamlanda Yesu mumbele akapamisa lugunyilu lwa pahi lwa nyula ya Yesu. Bahapo akalama.
She approached Jesus from behind and touched the hem of his cloak. Immediately the bleeding stopped.
45 Yesu akajova, “Yani mweanipamisi?” Vandu vakajova, Kawaka mundu mwaakupamisi. Petili akajova, “Bambu msambi wa vandu vakutindili na kukuhinya!”
“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 Nambu Yesu akajova, “Avili mundu mweanipamisi, muni nijiyuwini makakala ganihumili.”
“Someone touched me,” Jesus replied. “I know because power went out from me.”
47 Mdala yula paajiloli nakuhotola kujifiha, akabwela kuni hivagaya akamfugamila Yesu mumagendelu. Akamjovela pavandu voha ndava ya kumpamisa Yesu na chaalami bahapo.
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 akamjovela, “Msikana wangu, kusadika kwaku kukulamisi, uhamba na uteke.”
Jesus said to her, “Daughter, your trust has healed you, go in peace.”
49 Yesu paavi akona ilongela, akabwela mundu kuhuma kunyumba ya Yailo, akamjovela Yailo, “Leka kumung'aha Muwula, mwana waku mwene afwili.”
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 Yesu peayuwini genago, akamjovela Yailo, “Kotoka kuyogopa, sadika ndu, yati ilama.”
But when he heard this, Jesus told Jairus, “Don't be afraid. If you trust, she will be healed.”
51 Peahikili panyumba pala, akavatola Petili na Yohani na Yakobo pamonga na dadi na nyina wa msikana yula akayingila nawu mugati, vandu vangi avalekili kuvala.
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 Vandu voha vavembayi na malilu kwa lipyanda ndava ya mwana yula. Nambu Yesu akavajovela, “Mkotoka kuvemba, muni mwana uyu afwili lepi, agonili ndu.”
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 Voha vakamuheka, muni vamanyili kuvya mwana yula afwili.
They laughed at him, because they knew that she was dead.
54 Kangi Yesu akamkamula chiwoko mwana yula na kumkemela, “Mwana yimuka!”
But Jesus took her by the hand, and said in a loud voice, “My child, get up!”
55 Mpungu waki ukamuwuyila, bahapo akayimuka. Yesu akavajovela mumpela chakulya.
She came back to life, and she got up at once. Jesus told them to give her something to eat.
56 Dadi na nyina wa mwana yula vakakangasa, Nambu Yesu akavajovela vakotoka kumjovela mundu yoyoha mambu gala gegahengiki.
Her parents were astonished at what had happened, but Jesus instructed them not to tell anyone about it.
