Luke 8
1 Soon after this Jesus went around the towns and villages announcing the good news of God's kingdom. The twelve disciples went with him,
Oluvannyuma lw’ebyo Yesu n’agenda ng’akyalira ebibuga ebinene n’ebitono ng’abuulira Enjiri y’obwakabaka bwa Katonda, n’abayigirizwa be ekkumi n’ababiri nga bali naye.
2 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;
Waaliwo n’abakazi Yesu be yali agobyeko emyoyo emibi ne be yali awonyezza endwadde. Mu bo mwe mwali ne Maliyamu eyayitibwanga Magudaleene gwe yagobako baddayimooni omusanvu,
3 Joanna, the wife of Herod's manager Chuza; Susanna; and many more who provided support from their personal resources.
ne Jowaana muka Kuza eyali omukulu w’olubiri lwa Kerode; ne Susaana, n’abalala bangi, abaatoolanga ku byabwe ne balabirira Yesu n’abayigirizwa be.
4 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.
Awo ekibiina kinene bwe kyali kikuŋŋaana, nga n’abantu abava mu buli kibuga bajja eri Yesu, Yesu n’abagerera olugero luno nti,
5 “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.
“Omulimi yagenda mu nnimiro ye okusiga ensigo. Bwe yatandika okusiga ensigo, ezimu ne zigwa ku mabbali g’ekkubo ne bazirinnyirira, n’ebinyonyi eby’omu bbanga ne bizirya.
6 Some fell on stony ground, and once the seeds had sprouted they withered for lack of moisture.
Ensigo endala zaagwa ku lwazi, bwe zaamera ne zikala kubanga tezaalina mazzi.
7 Some seeds fell among thorns and as they both grew the thorns choked the plants.
Ensigo endala zaagwa mu maggwa, bwe zaamera n’amaggwa nago ne gakula ne gazizisa.
8 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!”
Naye ensigo endala n’azisiga mu ttaka eddungi, ne zikula ne zibala ebibala emirundi kikumi.” N’amaliriza ng’agamba nti, “Alina amatu okuwulira awulire.”
9 But his disciples asked him, “What does this illustration mean?”
Abayigirizwa be ne bamubuuza amakulu g’olugero olwo.
10 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.’
N’abaddamu nti, “Mmwe muweereddwa omukisa okumanya ebyama by’obwakabaka bwa Katonda, naye abalala, njogera gye bali mu ngero, “‘bwe batunula baleme kulaba, bwe bawulira baleme kutegeera.’
11 This is the meaning of the illustration: The seed is God's word.
“Kale, amakulu g’olugero olwo ge gano: Ensigo ky’ekigambo kya Katonda.
12 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.
Ensigo ezaagwa ku mabbali g’ekkubo, be bawulira ekigambo, naye Setaani n’ajja n’akibaggyako mu mutima gwabwe, si kulwa nga bakkiriza ne balokolebwa.
13 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.
Ezaagwa ku lwazi be bawulira ne basanyukira ekigambo, kyokka ne kitaba na mmizi. Be bakkiriza, naye okugezesebwa bwe kujja ne bagwa.
14 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.
Ezaagwa mu maggwa, be bawulira ekigambo, naye okweraliikirira n’obugagga n’amasanyu g’omu bulamu ne bibazisa, ne bataleeta bibala bikuze bulungi.
15 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.
Naye ezaagwa ku ttaka eddungi be bantu abalungi era abeesigwa, era bakuuma ekigambo ku mitima ne babala ebibala n’obugumiikiriza.
16 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.
“Tewali muntu akoleeza ttaala ate nagisaanikirako akalobo oba n’agissa wansi w’ekitanda. Agiwanika waggulu ku kikondo, olwo lw’esobola okumulisiza abantu abayingira.
17 For there's nothing hidden that won't be revealed; there's nothing secret that won't become known and obvious.
Kubanga tewali kintu na kimu ekyakwekebwa ekitalikwekulwa, era tewali na kimu ekitalimanyibwa mu lwatu.
18 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!”
Noolwekyo mwegendereze nga muwuliriza, kubanga oyo alina alyongerwako; naye oyo atalina, n’ekyo ky’alowooza nti alina kigenda kumuggyibwako.”
19 Then Jesus' mother and brothers arrived, but they couldn't get through the crowd to see him.
Awo nnyina ne baganda ba Yesu ne bajja okumulaba, naye ne batasobola kumutuukako olw’ekibiina ky’abantu ekinene.
20 Jesus was told, “Your mother and your brothers are outside. They want to see you.”
Ne wabaawo amubuulira nti, “Nnyoko ne baganda bo obwedda bayimiridde wabweru, baagala kukulabako.”
21 “My mother and my brothers are those who hear God's word, and do what it says,” Jesus replied.
Yesu n’addamu nti, “Mmange ne baganda bange be bano abawulira ekigambo kya Katonda ne bakigondera.”
22 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.
Lwali lumu Yesu n’alinnya mu lyato n’abayigirizwa be, n’abagamba nti, “Tuwunguke tulage emitala w’ennyanja.” Ne basimbula okugenda.
23 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.
Bwe baali baseeyeeya Yesu ne yeebaka. Awo omuyaga ogw’amaanyi ne gukunta ku nnyanja, n’eryato ne liyuuga nnyo, ne baba mu kabi kanene.
24 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.
Abayigirizwa ne bamuzuukusa, ne bagamba nti, “Mukama waffe, Mukama waffe, tusaanawo!” N’azuukuka n’aboggolera omuyaga n’amazzi agaali geefuukudde. Ne bikkakkana, ennyanja n’etteeka!
25 “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!”
N’alyoka abagamba nti, “Okukkiriza kwammwe kuluwa?” Ne batya, ne beewuunya nnyo, ne bagambagana nti, “Omuntu ono ye ani? Alagira omuyaga n’amazzi ne bimugondera!”
26 They sailed across to the Gerasene region that lies opposite Galilee.
Awo ne bagoba emitala w’eri mu nsi y’Abageresene eyolekedde Ggaliraaya.
27 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.
Awo Yesu bwe yava mu lyato omusajja eyaliko baddayimooni n’ajja okumusisinkana ng’ava mu kibuga. Omusajja oyo yali amaze ebbanga ddene nga tayambala ngoye, nga tasula na mu nju, wabula ng’asula mu ntaana.
28 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!”
Awo bwe yalaba Yesu n’awowoggana n’agwa wansi mu maaso ga Yesu, n’aleekaana nti, “Onjagaza ki, Yesu, Omwana wa Katonda Ali Waggulu Ennyo? Nkwegayiridde tombonyaabonya!”
29 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.
Kubanga Yesu yali alagidde omwoyo omubi guve ku musajja oyo. Emirundi mingi yalumbibwanga n’amaanyi mangi, ne bwe baamusibanga n’enjegere, n’akuumibwa mu masamba, yabikutulanga, ddayimooni n’amulaza mu ddungu.
30 “What is your name?” Jesus asked him. “Legion,” he replied, for many demons had entered him.
Awo Yesu n’abuuza omusajja nti, “Erinnya lyo ggwe ani?” Omusajja n’addamu nti, “Nze Ligyoni,” kubanga omusajja yaliko baddayimooni bangi.
Baddayimooni ne beegayirira Yesu aleme okubagobera mu bunnya obutakoma. (Abyssos g12)
32 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,
Waaliwo eggana ly’embizzi, awo ku lusozi, nga lirya, baddayimooni ne beegayirira Yesu abasindike mu mbizzi ezo. Yesu n’abakkiriza.
33 so the demons left the man and entered the pigs. The herd rushed down the steep slope into the lake and drowned.
Baddayimooni ne bava ku musajja ne bayingira mu mbizzi, amangwago eggana lyonna ne lifubutuka nga liserengeta olusozi, ne lyewanula ku bbangabanga, ne ligwa mu nnyanja, embizzi zonna ne zisaanawo.
34 When the pig-keepers saw what had happened they ran off and spread the news through the town and the countryside.
Abalunzi b’embizzi ezo bwe baakiraba, ne badduka embiro ne bagenda, ne bategeeza ab’omu malundiro ne mu kibuga, ebintu byonna ebibaddewo.
35 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.
Ekibiina ky’abantu ne bagenda okulaba ebibaddewo ne bajja eri Yesu, ne balaba omusajja eyagobwako baddayimooni ng’atudde awo awali ebigere bya Yesu ng’ayambadde engoye era nga mulamu ddala! Ne batya nnyo.
36 Those who had seen what happened explained how the demon-possessed man had been healed.
Abo abaaliwo okusookera ddala ne bategeeza abalala ng’omusajja eyaliko ddayimooni bwe yawonyezebwa.
37 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.
Awo abantu bonna ab’ensi eyo ey’Abagerasene ne basaba Yesu abaviire, kubanga baali batidde nnyo. N’asaabala mu lyato n’avaayo.
38 The man who had been freed from the demons begged to go with him, but Jesus sent him away.
Omusajja, eyagobwako baddayimooni n’amusaba agende naye, naye Yesu n’agaana.
39 “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.
N’agamba omusajja nti, “Ddayo ewammwe obategeeze Katonda by’akukoledde.” Omusajja n’agenda ng’ategeeza buli gwe yasanganga mu kibuga, Yesu bye yali amukoledde.
40 A crowd of people was there to welcome Jesus when he returned, all eagerly expecting him.
Yesu bwe yakomawo ekibiina ky’abantu ne bamwaniriza n’essanyu kubanga bonna baali bamulindirira.
41 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
Mu kiseera ekyo ne wajjawo omusajja erinnya lye Yayiro, eyali omukulembeze w’ekkuŋŋaaniro, n’agwa ku bigere bya Yesu n’amwegayirira ajje mu maka ge,
42 because his only daughter was dying. She was about twelve years old. While Jesus was on his way there, people were crowding around him.
kubanga muwala we omu yekka gwe yalina, eyali aweza emyaka nga kkumi n’ebiri yali afa. Yesu n’agenda naye, naye ng’ekibiina kimunyigiriza.
43 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.
Mu kibiina ky’abantu ekyo mwalimu omukazi eyali amaze emyaka kkumi n’ebiri ng’alwadde ekikulukuto ky’omusaayi. Yali atambudde nnyo mu basawo era nga bamumazeeko ebintu bye byonna ng’abasasula, naye ne watabaawo asobola kumuwonya.
44 She approached Jesus from behind and touched the hem of his cloak. Immediately the bleeding stopped.
Omukazi ono n’asemberera Yesu ng’amuvaako emabega, n’akoma ku lukugiro lw’ekyambalo kya Yesu, ekikulukuto ky’omusaayi ne kiwona mu kaseera ako kennyini!
45 “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.”
Yesu n’abuuza nti, “Ani ankutteko?” Bonna ne beegaana, naye Peetero n’agamba nti, “Mukama waffe, ekibiina ky’abantu kinene abakwetoolodde era abantu bangi bakunyigiriza.”
46 “Someone touched me,” Jesus replied. “I know because power went out from me.”
Naye Yesu n’addamu nti, “Waliwo ankutteko kubanga mpulidde ng’amaanyi ganvaamu.”
47 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.
Awo omukazi bwe yategeera ng’avumbuddwa, n’ajja ng’akankana n’agwa awo mu maaso ga Yesu, n’annyonnyola mu maaso g’abantu bonna ensonga kyeyavudde amukwatako, era nti n’obulwadde bwe bwawoneddewo!
48 Jesus said to her, “Daughter, your trust has healed you, go in peace.”
Yesu n’agamba omukazi nti, “Muwala wange, okukkiriza kwo kukuwonyezza. Genda mirembe.”
49 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.”
Awo Yesu bwe yali ng’akyayogera omuntu n’atuuka ng’ava mu maka g’omukulu w’ekkuŋŋaaniro, n’agamba Yayiro nti, “Muwala wo afudde! Omuyigiriza toyongera kumuteganya.”
50 But when he heard this, Jesus told Jairus, “Don't be afraid. If you trust, she will be healed.”
Naye Yesu bwe yakiwulira n’amugamba nti, “Totya! Kkiriza bukkiriza, ajja kuba mulamu.”
51 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.
Awo Yesu bwe yatuuka ku nnyumba ya Yayiro, n’atakkiriza bantu balala kuyingira naye mu nju wabula Peetero, ne Yokaana, ne Yakobo, ne kitaawe w’omwana, ne nnyina.
52 All the people there were crying and mourning for her. “Don't cry,” Jesus told them. “She's not dead, she's just sleeping.”
Mu kiseera ekyo abantu bonna baali bakaaba nga bakungubagira omwana oyo. Yesu n’abagamba nti, “Mulekeraawo okukaaba! Omuwala tafudde wabula yeebase bwebasi!”
53 They laughed at him, because they knew that she was dead.
Ne bamusekerera nnyo, kubanga bonna baali bamanyi ng’omuwala afudde.
54 But Jesus took her by the hand, and said in a loud voice, “My child, get up!”
Naye Yesu n’akwata omuwala eyali afudde ku mukono, n’akoowoola ng’agamba nti, “Mwana wange, golokoka!”
55 She came back to life, and she got up at once. Jesus told them to give her something to eat.
Amangwago n’aba mulamu, n’asituka n’ayimirira. Yesu n’abalagira bamuwe ekyokulya.
56 Her parents were astonished at what had happened, but Jesus instructed them not to tell anyone about it.
Bazadde b’omuwala ne beewuunya, naye Yesu n’abakuutira obutabuulirako muntu yenna ebibaddewo.
