Makko 8
1 Mu biseera ebyo, ebibiina ne byeyongera obunene nate, abantu emmere n’ebaggwaako. Yesu n’ayita abayigirizwa be n’abagamba nti,
In those days, when there was a very great multitude, and they had nothing to eat, Yeshua [Salvation] called his disciples to himself, and said to them,
2 “Abantu bano bankwasa ekisa, kubanga baakamala nange ennaku ssatu, naye tebalina kyakulya.
“I have compassion on the multitude, because they have stayed with me now three days, and have nothing to eat.
3 Singa mbasiibula baddeyo ewaabwe nga tebalidde, enjala ejja kubasuula ku kkubo! Ate abamu bava wala.”
If I send them away fasting to their home, they will faint on the way, for some of them have come a long way.”
4 Abayigirizwa ne bamubuuza nti, “Emigaati tunaagiggya wa wano mu ddungu eginaamala abantu bano bonna?”
His disciples answered him, “From where could one satisfy these people with bread here in a deserted place?”
5 Yesu n’ababuuza nti, “Mulinawo emigaati emeka?” Ne baddamu nti, “Musanvu.”
He asked them, “How many loaves do you have?” They said, “Seven.”
6 Awo Yesu n’alagira abantu batuule wansi. N’addira emigaati omusanvu, ne yeebaza Katonda, n’agimenyaamenyamu, n’agiwa abayigirizwa be ne bagitwalira ekibiina ne babagabula.
He commanded the multitude to sit down on the ground, and he took the seven loaves. Having given thanks, he broke them, and gave them to his disciples to serve, and they served the multitude.
7 Era baalina wo n’ebyennyanja bitono, nabyo Yesu n’abiwa omukisa n’agamba abayigirizwa be babigabule abantu.
They had a few small fish. Having blessed them, he said to serve these also.
8 Abantu bonna ne balya okutuusa lwe bakkuta, ne bakuŋŋaanya ebyabalema ebisero musanvu ebijjudde.
They ate, and were filled. They took up seven baskets of broken pieces that were left over.
9 Mu kibiina ekyo mwalimu abantu ng’enkumi nnya. N’abasiibula.
Those who had eaten were about four thousand. Then he sent them away.
10 Amangwago n’asaabala mu lyato n’abayigirizwa be n’ajja mu kitundu eky’e Dalumanusa.
Immediately he entered into the boat with his disciples, and came into the region of Dalmanutha.
11 Abafalisaayo ne bajja gy’ali ne batandika okuwakana naye nga banoonya akabonero akava mu ggulu nga bamugezesa.
The Pharisees [Separated] came out and began to question him, seeking from him a sign from heaven, and testing him.
12 Yesu n’assa ekikkowe, n’abagamba nti, “Lwaki omulembe guno gunoonya akabonero? Ddala ddala mbagamba nti, Tewali kabonero kajja kuweebwa mulembe guno.”
He sighed deeply in his spirit, and said, “Why does this generation seek a sign? Most certainly I tell you, no sign will be given to this generation.”
13 N’abaviira n’asaabala mu lyato n’alaga ku ludda olulala olw’ennyanja.
He left them, and again entering into the boat, departed to the other side.
14 Abayigirizwa beerabira okutwala emigaati egiwera; baalina omugaati gumu gwokka mu lyato.
They forgot to take bread; and they didn’t have more than one loaf in the boat with them.
15 Yesu n’abakuutira nti, “Mwekuume ekizimbulukusa eky’Abafalisaayo n’ekizimbulukusa ekya Kerode.”
He warned them, saying, “Take heed: beware of the yeast of the Pharisees [Separated] and the yeast of Herod [Heroic].”
16 Ne boogeraganya bokka ne bokka nti tebalina migaati.
They reasoned with one another, saying, “It’s because we have no bread.”
17 Yesu bwe yakimanya n’abagamba nti, “Lwaki mugambagana nti temulina migaati? Era temunnategeera? Emitima gyammwe gikyali mikakanyavu?
Yeshua [Salvation], perceiving it, said to them, “Why do you reason that it’s because you have no bread? Don’t you perceive yet, neither understand? Is your heart still hardened?
18 Lwaki temulaba, ate nga mulina amaaso? Lwaki temuwulira ate nga mulina amatu? Temujjukira?
Having eyes, don’t you see? Having ears, don’t you hear? Don’t you remember?
19 Mwerabidde emigaati etaano gye namenyamenyamu okuliisa abantu enkumi ettaano? Ebisero byali bimeka eby’obukunkumuka bye mwakuŋŋaanya?” Ne baddamu nti, “Kkumi na bibiri.”
When I broke the five loaves among the five thousand, how many baskets full of broken pieces did you take up?” They told him, “Twelve.”
20 N’ababuuza nti, “Ate abantu bwe baali enkumi ennya n’emigaati omusanvu, mwakuŋŋaanya ebisero by’obutundutundu bwe baalemwa bimeka?” Ne baddamu nti, “Musanvu.”
“When the seven loaves fed the four thousand, how many baskets full of broken pieces did you take up?” They told him, “Seven.”
21 N’abagamba nti, “Era temunnategeera?”
He asked them, “Don’t you understand, yet?”
22 Awo bwe baatuuka mu Besusayida, ne wabaawo abantu abaamuleetera omusajja omuzibe w’amaaso, ne bamwegayirira amukwateko.
He came to Bethsaida. They brought a blind man to him, and begged him to touch him.
23 Yesu n’akwata omuzibe w’amaaso ku mukono n’amufulumya ebweru w’akabuga ako. N’awanda amalusu ku maaso g’omusajja n’agakwatako, n’amubuuza nti, “Kaakano waliwo ky’olaba?”
He took hold of the blind man by the hand, and brought him out of the village. When he had spit on his eyes, and laid his hands on him, he asked him if he saw anything.
24 Omusajja n’amagamaga, n’addamu nti, “Yee! Ndaba abantu kyokka balabika ng’emiti egitambula.”
He looked up, and said, “I see men; for I see them like trees walking.”
25 Yesu n’ayongera okukwata ku maaso g’omusajja, omusajja n’azibuka amaaso n’awonera ddala buli kintu n’akiraba bulungi.
Then again he laid his hands on his eyes. He looked intently, and was restored, and saw everyone clearly.
26 Yesu n’amutuma mu maka g’ewaabwe ng’amugamba nti, “Toddayo mu kyalo.”
He sent him away to his house, saying, “Don’t enter into the village, nor tell anyone in the village.”
27 Awo Yesu n’abayigirizwa be, ne bagenda mu bubuga obw’e Kayisaliya ekya Firipo. Naye bwe baali batambula, Yesu n’ababuuza nti, “Abantu bampita ani?”
Yeshua [Salvation] went out, with his disciples, into the villages of Caesarea Philippi [Ruler Loves horses]. On the way he asked his disciples, “Who do men say that I am?”
28 Abayigirizwa be ne bamuddamu nti, “Yokaana Omubatiza, abalala Eriya, naye abalala nti omu ku bannabbi.”
They told him, “John [Yah is gracious] the Immerser, and others say Elijah [My God Yah], but others: one of the prophets.”
29 Kwe kubabuuza nti, “Naye mmwe mumpita ani?” Peetero n’addamu nti, “Ggwe Kristo.”
He said to them, “But who do you say that I am?” Peter [Rock] answered, “You are the Messiah [Anointed one].”
30 Naye Yesu n’abakuutira baleme okukibuulirako omuntu yenna!
He commanded them that they should tell no one about him.
31 Awo Yesu n’atandika okubabuulira nti, “Kigwanidde Omwana w’Omuntu okubonaabona ennyo, n’okugaanibwa abakadde, ne bakabona abakulu n’abannyonnyozi b’amateeka, n’okuttibwa, n’oluvannyuma lw’ennaku ssatu okuzuukira.”
He began to teach them that the Son of Man must suffer many things, and be rejected by the elders, the chief priests, and the Torah-Teachers, and be killed, and after three days rise again.
32 Yayogera nabo ku nsonga zino zonna mu lwatu, Peetero kyeyava amuzza wabbali n’atandika okumunenya.
He spoke to them openly. Peter [Rock] took him, and began to rebuke him.
33 Yesu n’akyuka n’atunuulira abayigirizwa be, n’alyoka anenya Peetero nti, “Setaani dda ennyuma wange, kubanga tolowooza ku bya Katonda wabula olowooza ku by’abantu.”
But he, turning around, and seeing his disciples, rebuked Peter [Rock], and said, “Get behind me, Satan [Adversary]! For you have in mind not the things of God, but the things of men.”
34 Awo Yesu n’ayita ekibiina wamu n’abayigirizwa be, n’abagamba nti, “Obanga waliwo omuntu ayagala okungoberera, asaanidde okwefiiriza asitule omusaalaba gwe alyoke angoberere.
He called the multitude to himself with his disciples, and said to them, “Whoever wants to come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his execution-stake, and follow me.
35 Kubanga buli eyeemalira ku bulamu bwe, alibufiirwa. Naye oyo awaayo obulamu bwe ku lwange ne ku lw’Enjiri alibuwonya.
For whoever wants to save his life will lose it; and whoever will lose his life for my sake and the sake of the Good News will save it.
36 Kale omuntu agasibwa ki singa alya ensi yonna, naye n’afiirwa obulamu bwe?
For what does it profit a man, to gain the whole world, and forfeit his life?
37 Omuntu ayinza kuweebwa ki, akiwanyise olw’obulamu bwe?
For what will a man give in exchange for his life?
38 Era buli muntu yenna ankwatirwa ensonyi, n’ebigambo byange ne bimukwasa ensonyi mu mulembe guno ogutali mwesigwa era ogujjudde ebibi, Omwana w’Omuntu alimukwatirwa ensonyi bw’alijja mu kitiibwa kya Kitaawe ne bamalayika abatukuvu.”
For whoever will be ashamed of me and of my words in this adulterous and sinful generation, the Son of Man also will be ashamed of him, when he comes in 'Aviv ·his Father·’s glory, with the holy angels.”
