Luke 8 (DOV) · Opened

1Musule aachiindi Jesu wakeenda muzisi amumyuunzi kayabukambawuka akwaamba makani mabotu aatala abwaami bwa Leza. Balikumi ababili bakali antoomwe anguwe,Soon afterward, Jesus traveled from one town and village to another, preaching and proclaiming the good news of the kingdom of God. The Twelve were with Him,

2alubo bakali aamwi awumwi mwanakazi wakaponesegwa kuzwa kumyuuya mibi akuzilwazi. Meli wakalikutegwa Magadalini ooyo wakaponesegwa kuzwa kuma dayimona ali musanu aabili;as well as some women who had been healed of evil spirits and infirmities: Mary called Magdalene, from whom seven demons had gone out,

3Jowana, mukayintu wa Chuza, mubanzi wa Helodi, Susana abamwi biingi bakalikumusanina, kuzwa kulubono lwabo.Joanna the wife of Herod’s household manager Chuza, Susanna, and many others. These women were ministering to them out of their own means.

4Lino makamu aabantu naakabungene, bakaza kulinguwe kabazwa mumadolopo asiyene siyene wakabaambila chikozyanisyo.While a large crowd was gathering and people were coming to Jesus from town after town, He told them this parable:

5“Mulimi wakaya kukubyala mbuto zyakwe, awo kalikubyala imwi yakawida munzila yalyatwa aamawulu abantu atuyuni twakujulu twakiilya.“A farmer went out to sow his seed. And as he was sowing, some seed fell along the path, where it was trampled, and the birds of the air devoured it.

6Imwi yakawida aabwe, yakamena chakufwambaana, mpawo yakanyana, nkaambo teyakalikwe kuteta aansi.Some fell on rocky ground, and when it came up, the seedlings withered because they had no moisture.

7Imwi yakawida mumaamvwa, mpawo maamvwa akakomena aamwi ambuto mpawo akiiyasa mbuto.Other seed fell among thorns, which grew up with it and choked the seedlings.

8Pesi imwi yakawida mumuse mubotu mpawo yakazyala michelo yakali abana biinda mwaanda.” Jesu nakaamana kwamba eezi zintu, wakoompola wati, “Ooyo uulamatwi aakumvwa, ngamvwe.”Still other seed fell on good soil, where it sprang up and produced a crop—a hundredfold.” As Jesus said this, He called out, “He who has ears to hear, let him hear.”

9Basikwiiya bakwe bakabuzya kuti chaambayi chikozyanisio eechi.Then His disciples asked Him what this parable meant.

10Wakati, “Luzibo lwansiswa zya Leza lulipedwe kulindinywe, pesi kulibamwi ndaambula muzikozyanisyo, nkaambo 'balabona pesi tababonesesyi, mpawo balamvwa pesi balakonzya kutamvwisisisya.'He replied, “The knowledge of the mysteries of the kingdom of God has been given to you, but to others I speak in parables, so that, ‘though seeing, they may not see; though hearing, they may not understand.’

11Lino nchechi chaamba chikomzyanisyo eechi: mbuto ndijwi lya Leza.Now this is the meaning of the parable: The seed is the word of God.

12Aabo bali munzila mbaabo bamvwa, pesi dyabbulosi wasika wabweza jwi kuzwa mumyoyo yabo, kuchitila kuti tabasyomi akufutulwa.The seeds along the path are those who hear, but the devil comes and takes away the word from their hearts, so that they may not believe and be saved.

13Mpawo aabo bali aabbwe mbaabo, banga balimvwa jwi, balalimvwa chakukondwa. Pesi tabakwe miyanda; balasyoma kwakayindi kaniini mpawo muchiindi chamasunko balawida aansi.The seeds on rocky ground are those who hear the word and receive it with joy, but they have no root. They believe for a season, but in the time of testing, they fall away.

14Mmbuto yakawida mumaamvwa mbantu banga balimvwa jwi, pesi nibeenda mnzila zyabo, balayaswa azintu zyenyika abuvubi antoomwe abubotu bwabuumi oobu, alimwi michelo yabo tiikomeni pe.The seeds that fell among the thorns are those who hear, but as they go on their way, they are choked by the worries, riches, and pleasures of this life, and their fruit does not mature.

15Pesi imbuto yakawida mumuse mubotu, aaba mbaabo, bamvwa jwi amoyo wachoonzyo alusyomo, balalijata akuzyala michelo kabali alukakatizyoBut the seeds on good soil are those with a noble and good heart, who hear the word, cling to it, and by persevering produce a crop.

16Lino, taakwe, uunga nadomeka lampi wali vumba achisuwo mna kulibika smuchinkuma. Ulalibika aachibikilo chalampi kuchitila kuti limunikile boonse banjila mung'anda, kuti babone mumuni.No one lights a lamp and covers it with a jar or puts it under a bed. Instead, he sets it on a stand, so those who enter can see the light.

17Nkaambo tachiwo pe chisisikene chitakaleke kuzibwa, nikuba nsiswa iitakaleke kuzibwa mumuni wazoosika.For there is nothing hidden that will not be disclosed, and nothing concealed that will not be made known and brought to light.

18Aboobo amuswiilizye kabotu nkaambo ooyo uula nchajisi uyooyungizigwa, pesi ooyo uutakwe nchajisi nikuba eezyo nzyayeeya kuti ulijisi uyoonyanzigwa.”Pay attention, therefore, to how you listen. Whoever has will be given more, but whoever does not have, even what he thinks he has will be taken away from him.”

19Mpawo banyina abakwabo bakasika kuli nguwe, pesi taakwe nibakamuswena afwiifwi pe nkaambo kamakamu miingi.Then Jesus’ mother and brothers came to see Him, but they were unable to reach Him because of the crowd.

20Bakamwaambila kuti, “Banyoko abakwanu, baliimvwi aanze bayanda kukubona.”He was told, “Your mother and brothers are standing outside, wanting to see You.”

21Pesi Jesu wakavwiila wati kuli mbabo, “Baamba abakwesu mbaabo bamvwa jwi lya Leza akulichita.”But He replied, “My mother and brothers are those who hear the word of God and carry it out.”

22Lino bumwi buzuba wakanjila mubwaato abasikwiiya bakwe, mpawo wakati kulimbabo. “Atuye kulilimbi bbazu lya lwizi.” Bakayamba.One day Jesus said to His disciples, “Let us cross to the other side of the lake.” So He got into a boat with them and set out.

23Kabachiyabuyamba, wakawona. Imvula mpati ilaaguwo yakasika aatala alwizi, bwaato bwabo bwakatalika kunjila maanzi alimwi bakali baba mubuyumuyumu.As they sailed, He fell asleep, and a windstorm came down on the lake, so that the boat was being swamped, and they were in great danger.

24Mpawo basikwiiya ba Jesu bakaza kuli nguwe bamusinsimuna bati, “Mwami, Mwami, twaamba kufwa. Wakabuka mpawo wuumuzya guwo amaanzi mpawo kwabatama.The disciples went and woke Him, saying, “Master, Master, we are perishing!” Then Jesus got up and rebuked the wind and the raging waters, and they subsided, and all was calm.

25Mpawo wakati kuli mbabo, “Luli kuli lusyomo lwanu?” Pesi bakayoowa akugamba, bakabuzyania umwi awumwi kabati, “Ngwani ooyu, iguwo amanzi eelyo zilamuswiilizya?”“Where is your faith?” He asked. Frightened and amazed, they asked one another, “Who is this? He commands even the winds and the water, and they obey Him!”

26Bakayamba bakusika kuchisi cha Gelasensi, chili miutala eeliya alwizi lwa Galili.Then they sailed to the region of the Gerasenes, across the lake from Galilee.

27Lino Jesu naakalyata aanyika wakaswaana umwi mwaalumi wakali aama dimoni. Wakali waba achiindi chilamfu katakwe naakazwete zigogo pe, alubo teensi wakali kukkala mung'anda pesi wakali kukkala kuzyuumbwe.When Jesus stepped ashore, He was met by a demon-possessed man from the town. For a long time this man had not worn clothing or lived in a house, but he stayed in the tombs.

28Aawo naakabona Jesu waka kwiila akuwida munsi lakwe wati kulinguwe ajwi pati, “Uli aamakanze nzi andime, Jesu mwana wa Leza uusumpukide loko? Ndakukumbila utandipenzyi.”When the man saw Jesus, he cried out and fell down before Him, shouting in a loud voice, “What do You want with me, Jesus, Son of the Most High God? I beg You not to torture me!”

29Nkaambo Jesu wakali walayilila muuya mubi kuti uzwe mumuntu. Nkaambo wakali wamupenzya kwachiindi chilamfu, nikuba wakuli kunoonga waangwa nsimbi anketani, wakalikuzidunsula alimwi wakalikunoonga wazulwidwa amuuya ooyo kuya mulusaka.For Jesus had commanded the unclean spirit to come out of the man. Many times it had seized him, and though he was bound with chains and shackles, he had broken the chains and been driven by the demon into solitary places.

30Mpawo Jesu wakamubuzya wati, “Nduweni zina lyako?” Wakasandula wati, “Ligiyoni,” nkaambo bakali biingi badayimona bakamunjide.“What is your name?” Jesus asked. “Legion,” he replied, because many demons had gone into him.

31Aawo bakali kumukumbila kuti atabatandili mumulindi uutagoli.And the demons kept begging Jesus not to order them to go into the Abyss.

32Lino butanga bwa ngulube bwakali kuchela munsi aachilundu. Mpawo badayimona aabo bakakumbila kuti banjizigwe mungulube eezyo, mpawo Jesu wakaazumizya.There on the hillside a large herd of pigs was feeding. So the demons begged Jesus to let them enter the pigs, and He gave them permission.

33Madayimona aayo akazwa mumuntu aakunjila mungulube, alimwi ingulube eezyo zyakachijaana zyankunukila mulwizi zyayinkila.Then the demons came out of the man and went into the pigs, and the herd rushed down the steep bank into the lake and was drowned.

34Lino aabo bakali kweembela tanga lya ngulube nibakabona zyakachitika, bakachijanina muguzi bakuluula zakachitika.When those tending the pigs saw what had happened, they ran off and reported this in the town and countryside.

35Mpawo bantu biingi bakasika kuti bazobone zyakachitika, mpawo bakasika kuli Jesu bazojana kuli mwaalumi ooyo kuli nguwe badyabbulosi nkubaka tandwa. Walkalikkede munsi lya Jesu, kazwete alimwi kali waba amaanu kalikabotu mpawo bakayoowa.So the people went out to see what had happened. They came to Jesus and found the man whom the demons had left, sitting at Jesus’ feet, clothed and in his right mind; and they were afraid.

36Lino aabo bakazibona zyakachitika bakababuzya mbuzyakachitika zyakuponesegwa kwa mwaalumi wakali aaba dayimona mbaakaponesegwa.Meanwhile, those who had seen it reported how the demon-possessed man had been healed.

37Lino bantu bamu Gerasensi bakakumbila Jesu kuti azwe kuli mbabo, nkaambo obakali baba aakuyowa kupati. Aboobo wakaknjila mubwaato kuti basangune kuyamba babweede.Then all the people of the region of the Gerasenes asked Jesus to depart from them, because great fear had taken hold of them. So He got into the boat and started back.

38Mwaalumi ooyu wakagwisigwa ba dyabbulosi wakakumbila Jesu kuti bayinke aamwi, pesi Jesu wakamukakila wati,The man whom the demons had left begged to go with Jesus. But He sent him away, saying,

39“Bweeda kumunzi wako ukabaambile zyoonse Leza nzyakuchitila.” Ooyu mwaalumi wakayinka kayobwaamba mudolopo lyoomnse aatala anzyakamuchitila Jesu.“Return home and describe how much God has done for you.” So the man went away and proclaimed all over the town how much Jesus had done for him.

40Lino Jesu nakabweeda, makamu akamutambula nkaambo bakali kumulangila.When Jesus returned, the crowd welcomed Him, for they had all been waiting for Him.

41Amubone umwi mwaalumi uutegwa Jayilasi wakali uumwi wabeendelezi bachikombelo, wakasika wawida kumawulu aa Jesu mpawo wamukumbila kuti ayinke kung'anda yakwe,Just then a synagogue leader named Jairus came and fell at Jesus’ feet. He begged Him to come to his house,

42nkaambo mwanakwe uzyedwe alikke, musimbi wakali amyaaka yakachibe kkumi ayibili wakali waamba kufwa. Awo Jesu nakali munzila kuya nkuko, makamu makamu aabantu akamuzyunguluka chaku syankana.because his only daughter, who was about twelve, was dying. As Jesus went with him, the crowds pressed around Him,

43Lino aawo kwakaliwo mwanakazi wakali kuzwa gazi kwamyaaka iilikumi ayibili mpawo wakabelesya mali yakwe yoonse kuzibbadela, pesi taakwe naakapona pe.including a woman who had suffered from bleeding for twelve years. She had spent all her money on physicians, but no one was able to heal her.

44Wakasika kusule lya Jesu mpawo wakajata lupipito lwa jansi lyakwe, mpawo aawo gazi lyakayimikila kuzwa.She came up behind Jesus and touched the fringe of His cloak, and immediately her bleeding stopped.

45Jesu wakati, “Ngwani wandi guma?” Boonse nibakakazya Pita wakati, “Makamu makamu aabantu alikuzyungulukide alimwi akusyankania.”“Who touched Me?” Jesus asked. But they all denied it. “Master,” said Peter, “the people are crowding and pressing against You.”

46Pesi Jesu wakati, “Mpali wandiguma nkaambo ndaziba kuti inguzu zyazwa mulindime.”But Jesus declared, “Someone touched Me, for I know that power has gone out from Me.”

47Lino mwanakazi ooyo naakabona kuti takuyubiki wakaza ulakankamba akuwida ansi kunembo lyakwe. Wakalungununa kunembo lyabantu boonse nchaakamugumina akuponesegwa nkwaakachita mpawo aawo.Then the woman, seeing that she could not escape notice, came trembling and fell down before Him. In the presence of all the people, she explained why she had touched Him and how she had immediately been healed.

48Mpawo wakati kuli nguwe “Mwanangu, lusyomo lwako lwakufutula. Yinka muluumuno.”“Daughter,” said Jesus, “your faith has healed you. Go in peace.”

49Naakachili kwaambula, umwi wakasika kuzwa kung'anda yamuzuluzi wachikombelo, wati, “Mwana wako wafwa kale. Utachimukatazyi pe muyiisyi.”While He was still speaking, someone arrived from the house of the synagogue leader. “Your daughter is dead,” he told Jairus. “Do not bother the Teacher anymore.”

50Pesi Jesu naakamvwa eezi wakasansula Jayilasi wati, “Utayoowi, syoma biyo, mpawo ulaponesegwa.”But Jesus overheard them and said to Jairus, “Do not be afraid; just believe, and she will be healed.”

51Naakasika kung'anda, taakwe muntu ngwaakazumizya kunjila aawe, kunze kwa Pita a Joni a Jemusi, awisi wamwana abanyina.When He entered the house, He did not allow anyone to go in with Him except Peter, John, James, and the child’s father and mother.

52Lino boonse bakali kuusa akumulila, pesi wakati, “Mutalili pe; tafwide pe ulikoona biya.”Meanwhile, everyone was weeping and mourning for her. But Jesus said, “Stop weeping; she is not dead but asleep.”

53Pesi bakamuseka, nkaambo bakalizi kuti ulifwide.And they laughed at Him, knowing that she was dead.

54Mpawo wakamujata akuboko akoompolola, wakati, “Yo mwana buka!”But Jesus took her by the hand and called out, “Child, get up!”

55Muuya wakwe waka boola, mpao aawo wakabuka. wakabalayilila kuti bamupe chakulya.Her spirit returned, and at once she got up. And He directed that she be given something to eat.

56Bazyali bakwe bakagamba pesi wakabalayilila kuti bataambili muntu achakachitika.Her parents were astounded, but Jesus ordered them not to tell anyone what had happened.
