Luka 8
1 Yapilike mundu mwipi kwemba Yesu tumbwe miyanya katika ilambo ni lilyambo mbalimbali, kahubiri ni tangaza habari inanoga ya Nnongo ni balo komi ni abele bayihi pamope nakwe,
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,
2 Nyonyo alwawa fulani babaponike boka kwa nchela ni matamwe maingi, abile Mariamu ywakemelwa Magdalena ambaye ywaminyike nchela saba.
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),
3 Yoana nyumbowe kuza meneja wa Herode, Susana, ni alwawa banyansima, babapiyite mali yabe kwaajili yabe bene.
and Joanna (the wife of Herod’s steward, Chuza), and Susannah, and many others – all of whom provided for Jesus and his apostles out of their own resources.
4 Ni baada ya bandu banyansima kwembana pamope babile bandu boka ilambo yenge, atilongela nabo kwa tumiya mifano.
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,
5 Mpandii ayei panda mbeyu, papandage baadhi ya mbeyu yatombokii mbwega ya ndila batikuilebata pae ya magolo ni iyuni batikuichonwa.
‘The sower went out to sow his seed; and, as he was sowing, some of the seed fell along the path and was trodden on; and the wild birds ate it up.
6 Mbeyu yenge yatumbwike pa ukando wabile maliwe ni paibalike miche yatiyama sababu pabile kwaa ni machi.
Other seed fell on rock, and, as soon as it began to grow, because it had no moisture, it withered away.
7 Mbeyu yewnge yatumbwike pene mikongo yabile mimimwa, nayo mikongo yatiyuma pamope ni yilo mbeyu ni yatikuibana.
Other seed fell in the middle of brambles, but the brambles grew up with it and choked it entirely.
8 Lakini mbeyu yenge yatumbwike pa ukando waupwaika ni yatipambika yakulya mara mia zaidi. Baada ya Yesu kubaya makowe haga, atibaya, “Ywabile ni makutu ni ayowine”
Other seed fell into rich soil, and grew, and gave a hundredfold return.’ After saying this, Jesus cried aloud, ‘Let those who have ears to hear with hear.’
9 Kaia benepunzi bake batikunnokiya maana ya mpwano uno,
His disciples asked Jesus the meaning of this parable.
10 Yesu atikuwabakiya, “mpeilwe upendeleo wa kwipwa siri ya ufalme wa Nnongo, lakini bandu benge papundishwa bai kwa mifano, linga kwamba, “mana babweni kana babone, ni mana bayowine kana baelewe.”
‘To you,’ he said, ‘the knowledge of the hidden truths of the kingdom of God has been imparted, but to others in parables only, so that though they have eyes they may not see, and though they have ears, they may not understand.
11 Na yii nga maana ya mpwano wono, mbeyu nga neno lya Nnongo.
This is the parable – The seed is God’s message.
12 Mbeyu ya itumbwike mumbwega ya ndila nga balo bandu babali yowa lineno, ni baadaye nnau nchela ulitola kulipu boka mumwoyo, linga kana kwaa amini no kombolelwa.
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.
13 Ni yilo yatumbwike pa maliwe nga bandu balo babaliyowa neno ni kulipokya kwa pulaha lakini ndandai yeyete, baaminiya muda mwipi, ni wakati taabu banda tumbuka.
By the seed which fell on 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.
14 Ni mbeyu yilo yaitumbwike pa mimimwa nga bandu babayuwa lineno, lakini wanapoendelea kukua yandakuibana maisha ni utajiri ni uzuri wa maisha ga ni bapapa kwaa.
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.
15 Likini yelo itumbwike pa mbwega unanoga nga ywaa baada ya yowa neno bandu balo anyenyekevu ni mwoyo inanoga, baada ya kuliyowa neno ulikamuliya ni libaa salama ni papa matunda ya uvumilivu.
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.
16 Sasa ntopo hata yumo ywa washa taa ni kuipunika kwa bakuli au kuibeka pae ya kindanda, badala ya kuibeka panani linga kila mundu ywa jingiya apate kuibona.
‘No one sets light to a lamp and then covers it with a bowl or puts it underneath a couch, but they put it on a lamp-stand, so that anyone who comes in may see the light.
17 Kwa kuwa ntopo chakipala iyilwa, au chochote chakibile siri ambacho chakipala tanganikwa kwaa chakibaa pa mbweya.
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.
18 Kwa nyo ube makini pau pikaniya, kwa sababu ywa bile nacho, bapa kunn'yongeyekea zaidi, lakini yolo ywa ngali nacho hata chelo kichini cha abile nacho kapatola.”
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.’
19 Baadaye mao bake Yesu ni anunabe batiicha kwake bamkaribie kwaa kwasababu ya bandu banyansima,
Presently Jesus’ mother and brothers came where he was, but they were not able to join him because of the crowd.
20 Ni boti batikummakiya, “Mabako ni anunabo bai palo bapala kukubona wenga.
So word was brought to him – “Your mother and your brothers are standing outside, wanting to see you.”
21 Lakini, Yesu kaayangwa ni kubaya, “Mao bangu ni anuna bangu ni balo babalipikaniya neno lya Nnongo ni kulitii.
His reply, spoken to them all, was, ‘My mother and my brothers are those who listen to God’s teaching and do what it says.’
22 Yapitike lichoba limo kati ya machoba galo Yesu ni benepunzi bake baubwike mu'ngalaba, ni kuabakiya, “tuloke mpaka kwiya.”baandaite ngalaba yabe.
One day about that time, Jesus got into a boat with his disciples and said to them, ‘Let us go across the lake.’
23 Lakini pabatumbwi boka, Yesu agonjike lugono, ni dhoruba ngolo yabile ni mbepo, ni ngalaba yabe itumbwe twilya machi ni bai katika hatari ngolo muno.
So they put off. While they were sailing, Jesus fell asleep. A squall swept down on the lake, and their boat was filling and they were in danger.
24 Baadaye baichi benepunzi bake kun'yumuya, kababaya, “Ngwana nkolo! Ngwaba nkolo! tui karibu ni waa! Ngayumuka ni kubendya nchunga ni mawimbi ga machi nga tulia ni panga ni utulivu.
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.
25 Nga abakiya, “imani yinu ii kwako?” Batiyogopa, Batichangala, balongei kila mundu na nyine, “Ywa nyai, kiasi kwamba amrisha mbepo ni machi tuliya?”
‘Where is your faith?’ he exclaimed. But in great awe and amazement they said to one another, ‘Who can this be, who commands even the winds and the waves, and they obey him?’
26 Baikite pa kilambo cha Garasini yaibile upande wa nchogo wa Galilaya.
They reached the region of the Gerasenes, which is on the opposite side to Galilee,
27 Yesu paulwite ni libata pae, mundu pulani boka mukilambo, akwembine nakwe, kwa muda mwingi abii awalae kwaa ngobo, ni atamae kwaa munnyumba, lakini atamae mumakaburi.
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.
28 Pamweni Yesu alei kwa lilobe, ni tumbuka pae nnonge yake kwa lilobe likolo andebaya, nipangite kilebe gani kwako, Yesu mwana wa Nnongo ywabile kunani? Nenda kuloba kana upwati nenga.
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 beg you not to torment me.’
29 Yesu ngaa amrisha munneke mundu yulwa nchela kwa mara yanambone ganda uboka hata mana bamtabike nyororo ni kumana bandu kunendela anda kutwana ni yenda ni nchela mpaka mulijangwa.
For Jesus was commanding the foul spirit to come out of 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.
30 Yesu annokiye, “lina lyako nyai?”ayangwi baya, “Legion” Kwamaana tubi ni nchela banambone gajingii kwake.
‘What is your name?’ Jesus asked. ‘Legion,’ he answered (for many demons had taken possession of him);
and the demons begged Jesus not to order them away into the bottomless pit. (Abyssos g12)
32 Likundi lya ngobe labile kalilya pa kitumbi, banobiye aruhusu bakajingii kwa balo ngobe. Ni atibaruhusu panga nyoo.
There was a herd of many pigs close by feeding on the hill-side; and the demons begged Jesus to give them leave to enter into them. Jesus gave them leave.
33 Kwa nyoo balo nchela babutukeye kwi yolo mundu ni jingya kwa balo ngobe ni lilo likundi latibutuka pano pakitumbi mpaka kulibwawa ni tumbukya moo.
They came out from the man and took possession of the pigs; and the herd rushed down the steep slope into the lake and were drowned.
34 Balo bandu bababile kabaleleya balo ngobe pakabweni chakipitile, bati butuka pia taarifa palo pakilambo ni sehemu yenge yaii tindiya palo.
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.
35 Bandu pabayowine hago batiyenda bona chakipiite, ni baichi kwa Yesu bamweni mundu ambaye nchela gatikumuka, abile aweli vizuri ni mwene akili timamu, atami pa magulu ga Yesu, ni batiyogopa.
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.
36 Nga mundu yumo ywa gabweni atumbwi kuachimuliya benge jinsi hayo mundu wabile kaganongoya nchela mwaponike.
Those who had seen it told them how the possessed man had been delivered.
37 Bandu boti ba nkoa wa Ageres ni maeneo gake gagalindia banobite Yesu aboke kwasababu babii ni uwaoga nkolo muno. Ni ajingile mungalaba ku uruka.
Then all the people in the region of the Gerasenes asked Jesus to leave them, for they were terrified. Jesus got into a boat and returned.
38 Mundu yolo ywabokwile ni nchela atikunsihi Yesu yenda nakwe, lakini Yesu atikumbakiya ayende no baya,
The man from whom the demons had gone out begged Jesus to let him be with him; but Jesus sent him away.
39 “Ubuye mu nyumba yako ni ubalange galo goti ambayo Nnongo apangite kwa wenga. Ayo mundu kaboka, kuitangaza poti mu ijiji ni goti ambago Yesu kapanga kwanembe.
‘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.
40 Ni Yesu kabuya, kipenga sa bandu satikunkaribisha, kwa mana boti babile batikusubiri.
On his return, Jesus was welcomed by the people; for everyone was looking out for him.
41 Linga kaisa mundu yumo ywakemelwa Yairo nga yumo nkati ya atawala mu'sinagogi. Yairo katomboka pa'magolo ga Yesu ni kumnoba muno ayende munyumba yake,
And a man named Jairus, who was a synagogue leader, came to Jesus, and threw himself at Jesus’ feet, with entreaties that he would come to his house,
42 kwa mana abile ni mwana nnwawa yumo bai, ywabile ni miaka komi ni ibele, ni abile nkati ya hali yo waa. Paabile kayenda, kipenga sa bandu satikunkengama ni ywembe.
because his only daughter, who was about twelve years old, was dying. As Jesus was going, the people were pressing closely round him.
43 Nnwawa yumo ywatokwa ni mwai kwa myaka komi ni ibele abile palo ni atumile mbanje yoti kwa aganga, lakini ntopo ywamponyile hata yumo,
And a woman, who had suffered from haemorrhage for twelve years, and whom no one could cure,
44 kaisa kunchogo ya Yesu ni kukamwa lipindo lya ngobo yake, ni ghafla mwai yaachile kum'moka.
came up behind and touched the tassel of his cloak. Instantly the haemorrhage ceased.
45 Yesu kabaya, “Nyai ywanikamwile?” Pabakanikiye bote, Petro kabaya, Ngwana nkolo, kipenga sa bandu kabansukuma ni kunzonga.”
‘Who touched me?’ Jesus asked; and, while everyone was denying having done so, Peter exclaimed, ‘Why, Sir, the people are crowding round you and pressing against you!’
46 Lakini Yesu kabaya, “Mundu yumo anikamwile, mana naiyowa ngupu yatiboka kwango.”
‘Somebody touched me,’ said Jesus, ‘for I felt that power had gone out from me.’
47 Ywa nnwawa paabweni yabile aweza kwaa kificha chaapangite, katumbwa lendema, katomboka pae nnongi ya Yesu katangaza nnongi ya bandu bote sababu yai panga ankamwe ni aponywile saa yeyelo.
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.
48 Boka po kabaya kwanembe, “Nwawa, imani yako ikupangite ube nzima. Yenda kwa Amani.”
‘Daughter,’ he said, ‘your faith has delivered you. Go, and peace be with you.’
49 Paabile yendelya kubaya, mundu yumo kaisa boka munyumba ya ntawala ywa li'sinagogi, kabaya, “Nwawa wako atiwaa. Kana usumbuke mwalimu.”
Before he had finished speaking, someone came from the house of the synagogue leader and said, ‘Your daughter is dead! Do not trouble the teacher further.’
50 Lakini Yesu pabaayowine nyoo, kannyangwa, “Kana uyogope. Amini kae, ni alowa lopolwa.”
But Jesus, hearing this, spoke to the leader, ‘Do not be afraid; only have faith, and she will yet be delivered.’
51 Kayingya mu ayo nyumba, aruhusu kwaa mundu yeyote kujingii pamope niywembe, ila Petro, Yohana ni Yakobo, tate ba nwawa, ni mao bake.
When he reached the house, he did not allow anyone to go in with him, except Peter, John, and James, and the child’s father and mother.
52 Muda bandu bote babile bakiomboleza ni kumoywa lilobe kwaajili yake, lakini kabaya, “Kna mumpangii ndoti, awile kwaa, lakini agonjike kae.
And everyone was weeping and mourning for her. ‘Do not weep,’ Jesus said, ‘she is not dead; she is asleep.’
53 Lakini batikunheka kwa kundharau, batiyowa kuba awile.
They began to laugh at him, for they knew that she was dead.
54 Lakini ywembe, kankamwa luboko yolo nnwawa, ni kunkema kwa lilobe, kabaya, Mwana, uluka”
But, taking her by the hand, Jesus said in a loud voice, ‘Child, rise!’
55 roho yake yankerebukye, ni kauluka saa yeyelo. Atikwaamuru kuwa, apeilwe kilebe pulani ili alye.
The child’s spirit returned to her, and she instantly stood up; and Jesus ordered them to give her something to eat.
56 Azazi bake batishangala, lakini atikwaamuru kana bammakii mundu chabile chapangilwe.
Her parents were amazed, but Jesus impressed on them that they were not to tell anyone what had happened.
