Luke 8
1 Shortly afterwards, Jesus went on a journey through the towns and villages, proclaiming the Good News of the Kingdom of God. With him went the Twelve,
Pagamaliki ago Yesu akahamba mumiji na muhijiji hingi kuvajovela vandu Lilovi la Bwina la Unkosi wa Chapanga. Vawuliwa vaki kumi na vavili vakalongosana nayu.
2 as well as some women who had been cured of wicked spirits and of infirmities. They were Mary, known as Mary of Magdala (from whom seven demons had been expelled),
Pamonga na vadala vevawusiwi mizuka na vevalamisiwi matamu na Yesu, venavo vavi, Maliya mkolonjinji wa Magidala mweawusiwi mizuka saba yihakau,
3 and Joanna (the wife of Herod’s steward, Chuza), and Susannah, and many others — all of whom ministered to Jesus and his Apostles out of their means.
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.
4 Once, when a great crowd was collecting, and, when the people of town after town were flocking to Jesus, he spoke to them in the form of a parable:
Vandu vamahele vambwelalili Yesu kuhuma kukila muji, na msambi uvaha pawakonganiki, Yesu akavajovela luhumu ulu.
5 “The sower went out to sow his seed; and, as he was sowing, some of the seed fell along the path and was trodden upon; and the wild birds ate it up.
Mundu mweahambili kumija mbeyu zaki. Na peamija mbeyu, zingi zikagwilila munjila na vandu vakazilivatila, na videge vikahola.
6 Other seed fell upon rock, and, as soon as it began to grow, having no moisture, withered away.
Zingi zikagwilila paludaka luna maganga pezatumbulayi kumela zikanyala muni pavi lepi na manji.
7 Other seed fell in the middle of brambles, but the brambles grew up with it and choked it entirely.
Zingi zikagwilila muminga, ndi minga zikamela pamonga nazu, zikazihinya.
8 Other seed fell into rich soil, and grew, and gave a hundred-fold return.” After saying this, Jesus cried aloud: “Let him who has ears to hear with hear.”
Zingi zagwili paludaka lwabwina, zikamela limonga likapambika ng'onyo. Yesu akamalisila kwa lwami luvaha, “Mweavi na makutu ga kuyuwana ayuwana!”
9 His disciples asked Jesus the meaning of this parable.
Vawuliwa vaki vakamkota Yesu, luhumu lula mana yaki kyani.
10 “To you,” he said, “the knowledge of the hidden truths of the Kingdom of God has been imparted, but to others in parables only, that ‘though they have eyes they may not see, and though they have ears, they may not understand.’
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.”
11 This is the parable — The seed is God’s Message.
“Luhumu ulu mana yaki. Mbeyu ndi lilovi la Chapanga.
12 By the seed which fell along the path are meant those who hear the Message; but then comes the Devil and carries away the Message from their minds, to prevent their believing it and being saved.
Chechihumili kwa mbeyu zezagwili munjila, ndi luhumu lwa vandu veviyuwana lilovi la Chapanga, kangi Setani peibwela na kuliwusa mumitima yavi vakotoka kusadika na kusanguliwa.
13 By the seed which fell upon the rock are meant those who, as soon as they hear the Message, welcome it joyfully; but they have no root, and believe it only for a time, and, when the time of temptation comes, they draw back.
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.
14 By that which fell among the brambles are meant those who hear the Message, but who, as they go on their way, are completely choked by this world’s cares and wealth and pleasures, and bring nothing to perfection.
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.
15 But by that in the good ground are meant those who, having heard the Message, keep it in the good, rich soil of their hearts, and patiently yield a return.
Ndi mbeyu zezagwili paludaka lwabwina, ndi luhumu wa vandu vevayuwini lilovi na kulivika mumitima yavi na kuyidakila bwina. Vikangamala mumitima mbaka kupambika matunda.”
16 No man sets light to a lamp and then covers it with a bowl or puts it underneath a couch, but he puts it on a lamp-stand, so that anyone who comes in may see the light.
“Vandu vipambika lepi hahi na kuyigubika na chiviga amala kuyivika kuhi kuchitanda. Nambu vandu vivika hahi panani pachibokoselu, muni vandu veviyingila mugati valola bwina.”
17 Nothing is hidden which will not be brought into the light of day, not ever kept hidden which will not some day become known and come into the light of day.
“Muni chochoha chechifiyiki, yati chigubukuliwa na chindu chochoha cha mfiyu yati chimanyikana na voha.”
18 Take care, then, how you listen. For, to all those who have, more will be given; while, from all those who have nothing, even what they seem to have will be taken away.”
“Mujiyangalilayi chemwiyuwana, muni mweavi nachu yati iyonjokeswa, nambu mundu mwanga chindu, hati chila chidebe cheihololela kuvya nachu yati chinyagiwa.”
19 Presently Jesus’ mother and brothers came where he was, but they were not able to join him on account of the crowd.
Nyina waki na valongo vaki Yesu vakamuhambalila, ndava ya msambi wa vandu wula nakuhotola kumuhegelela.
20 So word was brought to him — ‘Your mother and your brothers are standing outside, wanting to see you.’
Mundu mmonga akamjovela Yesu, “Nyina waku na valongo vaku vayimili kuvala, vigana kukulola.”
21 His reply, spoken to them all, was: “My mother and my brothers are those who listen to God’s teaching and do what it bids.”
Nambu Yesu akavajovela vandu, “Nyina wangu na valongo vangu ndi vala veviyuwana lilovi la Chapanga na kulikamula.”
22 One day about that time, Jesus got into a boat with his disciples and said to them: “Let us go across the lake.”
Na kavili ligono limonga Yesu peakweli muwatu pamonga na vawuliwa vaki, akavajovela, “Tikupuka kumwambu ya nyanja.” Vakatumbula kukupuka.
23 So they put off. While they were sailing, Jesus fell asleep. A squall swept down upon the lake, and their boat was filling and they were in danger.
Pavahambayi muwatu wula, Yesu agonili lugono. Ndi chimbungululu chikatumbula kutova munyanja mula na manji gakatumbula kuyingila muwatu wavi mkulemala neju.
24 So the disciples came and roused him. “Sir, Sir,” they cried, “we are lost!” Jesus rose and rebuked the wind and the rushing waves, and they fell, and a calm followed.
Vawuliwa vaki vamhambali vakamuyumusa na vakamjovela, “Bambu, Bambu Tifwa!” Yesu akayumuka, akachilakalila chimbungululu chila na luyuga lwa manji ndi vikaguna na kukavya teke.
25 “Where is your faith?” he exclaimed. But in great awe and amazement they said to one another: “Who can this be, that he commands even the winds and the waves, and they obey him?”
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!”
26 And they reached the country of the Gerasenes, which is on the opposite side to Galilee;
Vakakupuka na kuhika kumbwani ya kumuji wa mulima wa Vagelasi wewalolasini na Galilaya kumwambu ya nyanja.
27 and, on getting ashore, Jesus met a man, who had demons in him, coming out of the town. For a long time this man had worn no clothing, and he had not lived in a house, but in the tombs.
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.
28 Catching sight of Jesus, he shrieked out and threw himself down before him, and in a loud voice exclaimed: “What do you want with me, Jesus, Son of the Most High God? I beseech you not to torment me.”
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!”
29 For Jesus was commanding the foul spirit to come out from the man. On many occasions it had seized him, and, even when secured with chains and fetters, and watched, he would break through anything that bound him, and be driven by the demon into the Wilds.
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.
30 “What is your name?” Jesus asked. “Legion,” he answered (for many demons had taken possession of him);
Yesu akamkota, “Liina laku yani?” Akayangula, “Liina langu Msambi.” Ndava mizuka yamahele yamuyingili.
Mizuka yila yikamjovela Yesu pepayi chonde akotoka kuyipeleka kuligodi langali mwishu. (Abyssos g12)
32 There was a drove of many pigs close by feeding upon the hill-side; and the demons begged Jesus to give them leave to enter into them. Jesus gave them leave.
Kwavi na maguluvi gamahele gevadimayi kuchitumbi pandu penapo, ndi mizuka yila yikamuyupa Yesu yihamba kuyingila mumaguluvi gala. Yesu akayileka yihamba.
33 They came out from the man and took possession of the pigs; and the drove rushed down the steep slope into the lake and were drowned.
Ndi mizuka yila yikamuwuka mundu yula yikagayingila maguluvi gala, na msambi wa maguluvi ukahelela munyanja na kuyongomela, gakafwa mumanji.
34 When the men who tended them saw what had happened, they ran away, and carried the news to the town, and to the country round.
Vadimaji va maguluvi pevaloli gegahumali vakajumba, kuhamba kumuji na kumigunda kuvajovela vandu ujumbi.
35 The people went out to see what had happened, and, when they came to Jesus, they found the man from whom the demons had gone out, sitting, clothed and in his right mind, at Jesus’ feet; and they were awe-struck.
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.
36 Those who had seen it told them how the possessed man had been delivered;
Vandu vevagaweni mambu genago, vakavajovela vayavi chealamiswi mundu yula.
37 upon which all the people in the neighbourhood of the Gerasenes asked Jesus to leave them, for they were terrified. Jesus got into a boat and returned.
Vakolonjinji voha wa ku Gelasi vakavya na wogohi neju. Vakamuyupa Yesu awukayi ahamba kungi. Yesu akakwela muwatu akawuka.
38 The man from whom the demons had gone out begged Jesus to let him be with him; but Jesus sent him away.
Mundu mweamuwusi mizuka yula, amuyupili Yesu valongosanayi. Nambu Yesu nakumuyidakila, ndi akamjovela,
39 “Go back to your home,” he said, “and relate the story of all that God has done for you.” So the man went through the whole town and proclaimed, as he went, all that Jesus had done for him.
“Wuya kunyumba yaku ukavajovelayi gaakuhengili Chapanga.” Ndi mundu yula akahamba kila pandu kumuji woha akuvajovela vandu chaamhengili Yesu.
40 On his return, Jesus was welcomed by the people; for everyone was looking out for him.
Yesu paawuyili kumwambu yingi ya nyanja, avakoli msambi wa vandu vampokali chaluheku, ndava voha vamlindilayi.
41 And a man named Jaeirus, who was a President of the Synagogue, came to Jesus, and threw himself at Jesus’ feet, with entreaties that he would come to his house,
Penapo akabwela mundu mmonga liina laki Yailusi avi chilongosi wa nyumba ya kukonganekela akamfugamila Yesu mumagendelu, akamuyupa Yesu ahamba kunyumba yaki,
42 because his only daughter, who was about twelve years old, was dying. As Jesus was going, the people were pressing closely round him.
muni msikana waki ngayuyoyo mmonga, wa miiyaka kumi na yivili avi mtamu papipi kufwa. Yesu avi mukuhamba, msambi wa vandu wavi kumuhinya kila upandi.
43 And a woman, who had suffered from haemorrhage for twelve years, and whom no one could cure,
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.
44 came up behind and touched the tassel of his cloak. Instantly the haemorrhage ceased.
Mdala yula akamlanda Yesu mumbele akapamisa lugunyilu lwa pahi lwa nyula ya Yesu. Bahapo akalama.
45 “Who was it that touched me?” Jesus asked; and, while everyone was denying having done so, Peter exclaimed: “Why, Sir, the people are crowding round you and pressing upon you!”
Yesu akajova, “Yani mweanipamisi?” Vandu vakajova, Kawaka mundu mwaakupamisi. Petili akajova, “Bambu msambi wa vandu vakutindili na kukuhinya!”
46 “Somebody touched me,” said Jesus; “for I felt that power had gone out from me.”
Nambu Yesu akajova, “Avili mundu mweanipamisi, muni nijiyuwini makakala ganihumili.”
47 Then the woman, when she saw that she was discovered, came forward trembling, and threw herself down before him; and, in the presence of all the people, she told him her reason for touching him, and that she had been cured instantly.
Mdala yula paajiloli nakuhotola kujifiha, akabwela kuni hivagaya akamfugamila Yesu mumagendelu. Akamjovela pavandu voha ndava ya kumpamisa Yesu na chaalami bahapo.
48 “Daughter,” he said, “your faith has delivered you. Go, and peace be with you.”
Yesu akamjovela, “Msikana wangu, kusadika kwaku kukulamisi, uhamba na uteke.”
49 Before he had finished speaking, some one came from the house of the President of the Synagogue and said: “Your daughter is dead! Do not trouble the Teacher further.”
Yesu paavi akona ilongela, akabwela mundu kuhuma kunyumba ya Yailo, akamjovela Yailo, “Leka kumung'aha Muwula, mwana waku mwene afwili.”
50 But Jesus, hearing this, spoke to the President: “Do not be afraid; only have faith, and she shall yet be delivered.”
Yesu peayuwini genago, akamjovela Yailo, “Kotoka kuyogopa, sadika ndu, yati ilama.”
51 When he reached the house, he did not allow any one to go in with him, except Peter, John, and James, and the child’s father and mother.
Peahikili panyumba pala, akavatola Petili na Yohani na Yakobo pamonga na dadi na nyina wa msikana yula akayingila nawu mugati, vandu vangi avalekili kuvala.
52 And every one was weeping and mourning for her. “Do not weep,” Jesus said, “she is not dead; she is asleep.”
Vandu voha vavembayi na malilu kwa lipyanda ndava ya mwana yula. Nambu Yesu akavajovela, “Mkotoka kuvemba, muni mwana uyu afwili lepi, agonili ndu.”
53 They began to laugh at him, for they knew that she was dead.
Voha vakamuheka, muni vamanyili kuvya mwana yula afwili.
54 But, taking her by the hand, Jesus said in a loud voice: “Child, rise!”
Kangi Yesu akamkamula chiwoko mwana yula na kumkemela, “Mwana yimuka!”
55 The child’s spirit returned to her, and she instantly stood up; and Jesus ordered them to give her something to eat.
Mpungu waki ukamuwuyila, bahapo akayimuka. Yesu akavajovela mumpela chakulya.
56 Her parents were amazed, but Jesus impressed on them that they were not to tell any one what had happened.
Dadi na nyina wa mwana yula vakakangasa, Nambu Yesu akavajovela vakotoka kumjovela mundu yoyoha mambu gala gegahengiki.
