Luke 9
1 [One day] Jesus summoned his twelve [apostles], and gave them power to expel all [kinds of] demons and to heal [people with] diseases. He gave them authority to do that.
Nabhabhilikila amwi abheigisibhwa bhaye ekumi na bhahili, nabhayana obhutulo no bhuinga ingulu ya amasambwa gona nokuosha amalwaye.
2 [Before] he sent them out to heal people and to tell people [what it meant to let] God (rule/have complete control [over]) [their lives],
Nabhatuma wagende okulasha obhukama bhwa Nyamuanga nokuosha abhalwaye.
3 he said to them, “Do not take things for your journey. Do not take a walking stick or a [traveler’s] bag or food or money. Do not take (an extra shirt/extra clothes).
Nabhabhwila ati, “mwasiga okugega chonachona mulugendolwemwe nolwo insimbo, nolwo omufuko, nolwo omukate, nolwo jimpilya, mwasiga nolwo okugega jinkanju ebhili.
4 Whenever you enter some house [to lodge there], stay in that house until you leave that town.
Omusi gwonagwona gunu mwakengilemo, mwikalao kukingila mwakasokeo ao.
5 [In towns] where the people do not welcome you, [you should not continue to stay there. Just] leave those towns. And as you leave, shake off the dust from your feet. [Do that to] warn them [that God will punish them for rejecting your message].”
Bhanu bhatalibhalamila, mkasokamo mumusi ogwo, mukunkumule oluteli okusoka kumagulu gemwe mukole kutyo ingulu yo obhubhambasi bhwemwe ingulu yebhwe.”
6 Then they left and traveled through many villages. Everywhere [they went], they told people God’s good message and healed sick people.
Nibhasokao nibhagenda okulabha mubhijiji, nibhalashaga omusango gwekisi nokuosha abhanu bhuli lubhala
7 Herod [Antipas], the ruler of [that] district, heard about the things that [Jesus and his disciples] were doing. [He had previously commanded his soldiers to execute John the Baptizer, so now] he was perplexed, because some people were saying that John had become alive again [and was doing those miracles].
Mbe omukama Herode aliga nongwa ganu galiga nigakolekana nanyasibhwa muno, kulwokubha abhandi bhaikaga ati Yoana Omubhatija asurukile okusoka mubhafuye,
8 Others were saying that [the prophet] Elijah had appeared [again as had been prophesied]. Others were saying that one of the [other] former prophets had become alive again [and was doing those miracles].
abhandi ati Elia ejile, na abhandi ati oumwi mubhalagi bha kala asurukile lindi okusoka mubhafu.
9 But Herod said, “[It cannot be John who is doing these things], [because] I [commanded my soldiers to] cut off his head. So who is [this man] that I am hearing these things about?” And he kept wanting to see [Jesus].
Herode naika ati, “nachinjile Yoana, Nawe si niga unu enungwa amagambo gaye? Mbe Yoana nalondaga injila eyokumulola Yesu.
10 When the apostles returned [from traveling to various towns], they told Jesus the things that they had done. Then he took them and they went by themselves [by boat] to a town called Bethsaida.
Bhejile bhasubha bhanu bhaliga bhatumilwe, nibhamubhwila bhuli chinu echo bakolele. Nabhagega bhona, nibhagenda mumusi gunu gwatogwaga Betisaida.
11 But when the crowds [of people who had been with Jesus] found out about that, they followed him [on land. When they got to where he was], he welcomed them. He taught them about how God is going to some day (rule as king/have complete control [over people’s lives]). He also healed the sick people.
Nawe liijo nilyungwa ati asokao nibhamulubha, nabhakumilila, na naloma nabho ingulu yo obhukama bhwa Nyamuanga, naosha bhanu bhaliga nibhakena okuosibhwa.
12 Late in the afternoon Jesus’ twelve [apostles] came to him and said, “This is a place where nobody lives, so dismiss the people so that they can go to the surrounding villages and other places where they can get some food and find places to stay!”
Lisubha niliwako, na Jintumwa ekumi ne bhili nibhamujako nibhamubhwila ati, “Nyalambula liijo bhagende mubhijiji bhyayei na mumusi bhaje okufung'ama nokulonda ebhilyo, kulwokubha anu chili ni chalo cha ibala.”
13 But he said to them, “[No], you [yourselves] give them something to eat!” They replied, “We [(exc)] have only five small loaves and two [cooked] fish. Are you [(sg)] going to [give] us [the money] to go somewhere and buy food for all these people?”
Nawe nabhabhwila ati, “Mubhayane ebhilyo bhalye.” Nibhaika ati, “Chitali nabhyo tali bhilio bhibhala bhitanu ebhye mikate na nswi ebhili, nawe chakajiye okugula ebhilyo bhyaliijo lya abhanu bhanu.”
14 There were about 5,000 men [there]. He replied to the disciples, “[No], [just] tell the people to sit down. Tell them to sit in groups, with about 50 people in each group.”
Mbe bhaliga bhalio ao abhalume bhiumbi bhitanu. Nabhwila abheigisibhwa bhaye, “mubheyanje ansi mkole jingobho ja bhanu makumi gatanu tanu.”
15 After they told the people that, they all sat down.
Kulwejo nibhakola kutyo, abhanu nibheyanja ansi.
16 Then he took the five small loaves and the two fish. He looked up towards heaven and thanked [God for them]. Then he broke them [into pieces] and gave them to the disciples so that they would distribute them to the crowd.
Mbe nagega emikate etanu na jinswi ebhili nalola ingulu, nasima, najibhutulanya bhibhala, nabhayana abheigisibhwa bhaye koleleki bhaligabhile liijo.
17 All [the people in the crowd] ate until they all had enough to eat. Then [the disciples] collected twelve baskets full of the broken pieces that were left over!
Nibhalya bhona nibheguta, nibhakofya ebhibhala bhyo obhusigala nibhejusha ebhibho ekumi na bhibhili.
18 [One day] Jesus was praying in a place where only the disciples were with him. He asked them, “The crowds [of people], who do they say that I [really] am?”
Mbe nijibha kutiya, Yesu aliga nasabha ebhisile ali na abheigisibhwa bhaye, nabhabhusha naika ati, “abhanu abhaika ati anye nanyega?”
19 They replied, “[Some people say that you are] John the Baptizer, [who has come back to life again]. Others say that you are [the prophet] Elijah, [who has returned from heaven as God promised]. Others say that you are one of the [other] prophets who lived long ago, who has come back to life again.”
Nibhasubhya, nibhaika ati, “Yoana Omubhatija, Nawe abhandi abhaika ni Eliya, abhandi abhaika ni umwi was abhalagi we emyaka ja kala amasubha okusuruka.”
20 He asked them, “What about you [(pl)]? Who do you say that I am?” Peter replied, “You [(sg)] are the Messiah, who [has come from] God.”
Nabhabhwila ati, “Nawe emwe omwaika ati nanye uya?” Petro nasubhya naika ati,
21 Then Jesus warned them strongly not to tell that to anyone [yet].
“Nawe Kristo okusoka ku Nyamuanga.” Nawe Yesu nabhaonya, nabhelesha ati bhasiga kubhwila munu wonawona ingulu yo omusango ogwo.
22 Then he said, “[Even though I am] the one who came from heaven, it is necessary that I suffer very much. It is also necessary that I be rejected by the elders and the chief priests and the men who teach the [Jewish] laws {that the [Jewish] elders and the chief priests and the men who teach the [Jewish] laws will reject me}. It is necessary that I be killed {that [people] will kill me}. Then on the third day [after that], I will become alive again.”
Naika kutya, “Omwana wa Adamu ni bhusibhusi anyale na amagambo mafu nokubhulwa okwendwa na bhakaruka na abhagabhisi abhakulu na abhandiki, na abhamwita, na kasuruka olunaku lwa akasatu”
23 Then he said to all of them, “If any one [of you] wants to be my disciple, you must not do [only] what you yourself desire [to do]. [Specifically], you must be willing each day [MET] [to let others hurt you and disgrace you. That is like what is done to criminals who are forced] to carry [MET] crosses [to the place where they will be executed]. [That is what anyone who wants to] be my disciple [must do].
Nabhabhwila ati, “Omunu wonawona akenda okundubha, ni bhusibhusi eleme omwene, ayeke omusalabha gwaye bhuli siku, andubhe.
24 You must do that, because those who try to save their lives [by denying that they belong to me when people want to kill them for believing in me] will not live [eternally], but those who are killed because of being my [disciples] will live [forever with me].
Wonawona unu kalegeja okuchungula obhulame bhwaye alibhubhusha, Nawe unu kabhusha obhulame kulwa injuno ya libhona lyani, alibhuchungula.
25 People might get everything that [they want] in this world, but (they are really gaining nothing if they do not get eternal life by [becoming my disciples]!/are they really gaining anything if they do not get eternal life by [becoming my disciples]?) [RHQ]
Omwana munu alibhona chinuki, alibha akabhona echalo chona, Nawe akabhusha amo akabhona i-asara yo mwoyo gwaye?
26 Those who reject my message [and] refuse to say that [they belong] to me, [I], the one who came from heaven, will also refuse to say that [they belong to me] when I come back with the holy angels, and have the glorious brightness that my Father has.
Wonawona unu alinyiswalilila any ne emisango jani, Omwana was Adamu ao alibha mwikusho lyaye alimwiswalilila omunuyo na likusho lya Lata na bhamalaika abhatakatifu(abhelu).
27 But listen carefully! Some of you [(pl)] who are here now will see God ruling [MET] [in many powerful ways]. You will see it before you die!”
Nawe enibhabhwila echimali, bhalio abhandi bhemeleguyu anu bhataliloja lufu okukinga bhabhulole obhukama bhwa Nyamuanga.”
28 About a week after [Jesus] said those things, he took Peter, James, and [James’ brother] John and led them up a mountain so that he could pray [there].
Jejile jalabhao nsiku munana amalile okwaika emisango ejo, nagega Petro, Yoana na Yakobo. Nibhalinya muchima okusabhwa.
29 As he was praying, his face appeared very different to them. His clothes became as bright as lightning.
Nao aliga achali mwisabhwa, olususo lwo ubhusu bhwaye niluinduka, na jingubho jaye nijibha jimwela no okubhalangilya.
30 Suddenly, two men appeared who had the brightness [of heaven] surrounding them. They were [prophets who had lived long ago], Moses and Elijah. They started talking with Jesus about how he [would accomplish what God had planned when he died] [EUP] [very soon] in Jerusalem.
Lola, bhaliga bhalio bhalume bhabhili nibhalomaga nage! Aliga ali Musa na Eliya,
bhabhonekene bhali mwikusho. Ni bhalomelela ingulu yo okusokao kwaye, omusango gunu aliga alebhelee okukumisha ali Yerusalemu.
32 Peter and the other [disciples] who were with him were sound asleep. When they woke up, they saw [Jesus’] brightness. They also saw the two men standing with him.
Petro na abhejabho bhaliga bhaongee muno. Nawe bhejile bhasisimuka, nibhalola likusho laye na bhalume bhabhili bhanu bhaliga bhemeleguyu nage.
33 As [Moses and Elijah] were starting to leave Jesus, Peter said to him, “Master, it is wonderful for us to be here! Allow us to make three shelters, one for you, one for Moses, and one for Elijah!” But he really did not realize what he was talking about.
Bhejile bhasigana na Yesu, Petro namubhwila ati, “Lata Bhugenyi, jakabhee jakisi eswe chikale anu na jichiile chumbake anu jinyumba ja bhanu bhasatu. Chumbake eyao imwi, eindi ili ya Musa, na eindi ili ya Eliya.” Nawe aikaga emisango ejo ohhutamenya.
34 As he was saying that, a [bright] cloud appeared and covered them all. The disciples were afraid as the cloud surrounded them.
Ao aliga achaika kutyo, nilija elile nilibhafundikila; nibhobhaya kulwokubha bhaliga bhajongewe ne elile.
35 [God] [MTY/EUP] spoke to them from the cloud, saying, “This is my Son. He is the one whom [I] have chosen [to do a great work for me]. [So] you must listen to him!”
Obhulaka nibhusoka mulile nibhwaika ati, “Unu niwe Omwana wani Omusolwa. Mbe nimumutegeleshe.
36 After [God] [MTY/EUP] finished saying that, [the three disciples] saw that only Jesus was there. They did not tell anyone what they had seen until much later.
“Obhulaka bhwejile bhwajibhila, Yesu nasigala enyele. Nibhajibhila, na munsiku ejo bhatabhwiliye munu wonawona kumisango jonajona jinu bhalolele.
37 The next day, after they had come down from the mountain, a large crowd [of people] met Jesus.
Bwire bhucheye, bhejile bhasoka muchima, liijo lya abhanu nilibhugangana nage.
38 Then a man from the crowd exclaimed, “Teacher, I plead with you, [do something to help] my son! He is my only child!
Lola, omumula umwi okusoka mwiijo nalila kwo bhulaka, naika ati, “Mwiigisha enikusabhwa undolele omwana wani kubha niwe nilinagela enyele.
39 At various times an evil spirit suddenly seizes him and [causes] him to scream. The evil spirit shakes him violently and causes him to foam at the mouth. It does not leave until my child is completely exhausted.
Mbe oulola kagwatibhwa amasambwa, nayogana, lugendo agamuyana okugwa lilaru nokusoka lifilo mukanwa. Agamutatila kwa inyako, nigamusigila obhwashe bhusito.
40 I pleaded with your disciples [who were here] for them to expel [the evil spirit], but they were not able to do it!”
Nilabhasabhileko abheigisibhwa bhao bhagagonye Nawe bhatatulile.”
41 Jesus replied [by saying to everyone who had gathered there], “[You who have seen how I help people] do not believe [that you can do anything]. What you [think] is perverted! How long must I be with you [before you are able to do what I do] [RHQ]? [How long must I] endure your [lack of faith]?” [Then he said to the boy’s father], “Bring your [(sg)] son here [to me]!”
Yesu nasubhya naika ati, “Emwe olwibhulo lunu lutakwikilisha na lunu lutasikene ne echimali, enikala nemwe nokubhagegela ganu agabhatama okukingila katunguki? Nufogeshe omwana wao anu.”
42 While they were bringing the boy to Jesus, the demon attacked the boy, threw him to the ground, and shook him severely. But Jesus rebuked the evil spirit and healed the boy. Then he returned him to his father’s [care].
Nolwo akatungu kanu omusigaji oyo aliga naja lisambwa nilimugwisha ansi kwo okumunyongotola. Nawe Yesu naligonya lisambwa elyo, namwiulisha namusubhisha esemwene
43 All the people [there] were amazed at the great [power] of God. Luke 9:43b-45 While they were all amazed at all the miracles [Jesus] was doing, he said to his disciples,
Abhanu bhona nibhalugula obhukulu bhwaye Nyamuanga. Nawe ao bhaliga bhachalugula gona ago Yesu akolele, nabhwila abheigisibhwa bhaye ati,
44 “Think carefully [MTY] about what I am about to tell you: [Even though I am] the one who came from heaven, [I will soon] be handed over to the authorities (OR, my enemies) {[someone] is about to enable [MTY] my enemies to seize me}.”
“Mutule mukutwi emisango jinu enenda obhabhwila olyanu: Omwana wo Omunu kaja okutulwa mumabhoko ga abhanu.”
45 But [the disciples] did not understand what he was saying; [God] prevented them from understanding it, so that they would not know [yet] what he meant. And they were afraid to ask him about [what he had said].
Nawe bhatasombokewe insonga ye misango ejo, gaselekelwe mumeso gebhwe, koleleki bhasiga okugasombokelwa.
46 The disciples began to argue among themselves about which one of them would be the greatest [when Jesus became king].
Mbe okubhula okungwana nikwibhuka agati yebhwe ingulu yobhukulu, ati niga unu kajokubha mukulu okukila bhona.
47 But Jesus perceived what they were thinking. So he brought a young child to his side.
Nawe Yesu ejile amenya chinu bhaliga nibhabhushanya, nagega Omwana mulela, namwimelegushu mulubhafu lwaye.
48 He said to [the disciples], “Those who, because they [love] me, (OR, because they want to behave like me) welcome a little child ([like] this one/[as] I [would]) [MTY], [God considers that] [MET] they are welcoming me. And those who welcome me, [God considers] that [MET] they are welcoming him, the one who sent me. Remember that those among you who think of themselves as being very unimportant will be the ones [whom God considers] to be great.”
Mbe nio nabhabhwila ati, “Wonawona unu kakumilila omwana omulela lwa unu kwisina lyani, kabha andamiye anye ona; na unu kankumilila any kabha akumiliye unu antumile anye. Kulwokubha unu ali mtoto agati yemwe bhona oyo niwe omukulu kukila bhona.”
49 John replied to [Jesus], “Master, we [(exc)] saw a man who was expelling demons, [claiming] that [he had] authority from you [MTY] to do that. So we told him to stop doing it, because he is not one of us [disciples].”
Yoana nasubhya naika ati, “Mukama, chalolele omunu nagonya amasambwa mwisina lyao nichimujibhila kulwokubha atakulibhata amwi neswe.”
50 But Jesus said to him [and the other disciples], “Do not tell him not to [do that]! Remember that those who are not opposing you are trying to [achieve the same goals that] you are!”
Nawe Yesu nabhabhwila ati, “Musige okumujibhila, kulwokubha unu atatasikene nemwe niwejanyu.”
51 When it was almost time for [God] to take Jesus up to heaven, he firmly resolved to go to Jerusalem.
Jinsiku jejile jafogela ayei ejo omwene okugegwa okuja mulwire, nalolelela okuja Yerusalemu.
52 He sent some messengers to go ahead of him, and they entered a village in Samaria [district] to prepare for him [SYN] [to go there].
Natuma abhanu bhelabhe imbele yaye, mbe nibhagenda nibhengila muchijiji cha Abhasamaria koleleki bhamwilabhile obhwiyanjo.
53 But [the Samaritans did not like the Jews because of their insisting that it was necessary to go to Jerusalem to worship God. So], because Jesus had firmly resolved to go to Jerusalem, they would not let him come [to their village].
Nawe abhanu bhendeyo bhatamulamiye, kulwokubha aliga nalolelela okuja Yerusalemu.
54 When two of his disciples, James and John, heard about that, they said, “Lord, do you [(sg)] want us [(exc)] to pray that [God] will send fire down from heaven, [as the prophet Elijah did long ago], and destroy those people?”
Abheigisibhwa bhaye, Yakobo na Yoana bhejile bhalola elyokutyo, nibhaika ati, “Lata Bugenyi owenda chilagilishe omulilo gutuke ansi okusoka mulwire gubhasingalishe?”
55 But Jesus turned and rebuked them [for saying that].
Nawe nabhekebhukila nokubhaganya.
56 So they went to a different village.
Nibhamala nibhagenda muchijiji echindi.
57 As Jesus and the disciples were walking along the road, one man said to him, “I will go with you [(sg)] wherever you go!”
Ao bhaliga bhali munjila yebhwe nibhagenda, omunu umwi namubhwila ati, “Enikulubhilila onaona eyo ouja.”
58 [In order that the man might know what he could expect if he went with Jesus], Jesus said to him, “Foxes have holes [in the ground in which to live], and birds have nests, but [even though I am] the one who came from heaven, I do not have a home where I can sleep!”
Yesu namubhwila ati, “jinyamubhwe jina amobho, jinyonyi ja mulutumba jina amasuli, nawe Omwana wa Adamu atana wa wakumamya omutwe gwaye.”
59 Jesus told another man, “Come with me!” But the man said, “Lord/Sir, let me go [home] first. [After] my father [dies] I will bury him, [and then I will come with you].”
Achalao nabhwila omunu undi ati, “Niundubhe.” Nawe omwenene naika ati, “Lata Bhugenyi, nunane omwanya okwamba nigende nijosika lata.”
60 But Jesus said to him, “[God considers that those who do not have eternal life are] dead [MET]. Let those people [do the work of] burying people who die. As for you, go and tell people about how God wants (to rule/to have complete control [over]) [people’s lives]!”
Nawe Yesu namubhwila ati, “Nusige abhafuye bhasike abhafu bhabho, nawe awe nugende ulashe obhukama bhwa Nyamuanga bhuli mbala.”
61 Someone else said, “Lord, I will come with you and be your disciple, but first let me go home to say goodbye to my relatives.”
Omunu undi ona naika ati, “Enikulubhilila, Mukama, nawe nana omwanya okwamba nilage abha ika owani.”
62 Jesus said to him, “Anyone who is plowing his field should not look back [to see what he has done. He must look forward to what is ahead. Similarly], [anyone who continues to be concerned about his family and other things he has left behind] is not fit [to serve me and tell others about how] God wants to rule [MTY] [people’s lives].”
Nawe Yesu namubhwila ati, “atalio unu katao okubhoko kwaye alime namala nalola inyuma oyo ateile mubhukama bhwa Nyamuanga.”
