1Akʉmara, Yɨɨsu akahɨta mumijɨ na mʉzɨmbɨri, ararwazɨra abhaatʉ Ɨngʼana Ɨnzʉmu yʉ ʉbhʉtɨmi bhwa Mungu. Abhɨɨga bhaazɨ ikumi na bhabhɨrɨ,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,

2bhʉmbɨ na abhakari bhanʉ abhahʉriryɨ amarwɨrɨ, na kʉbharuusha amasambwa, bhakahirana nawe. Gatɨ wa abhakari bhayo aareho Mariyamu wa Magidarena, wʉnʉ Yɨɨsu amuruushiryɨ amasambwa muhungatɨ.as well as some women who had been healed of evil spirits and infirmities: Mary called Magdalene, from whom seven demons had gone out,

3Na aareho Yowana, ʉmʉkari wa Kuza. Kuza wuyo, newe imiiririirɨ ebhegero bhyʉ ʉmʉtɨmi Heroode. Na bhaareho abhakari abhandɨ bhaaru na Suzaana. Bhʉʉsi bhayo, bhaarɨ bharahurucha ebhegero bhyabhʉ, kʉbhasakirya Yɨɨsu na abhɨɨga bhaazɨ.Joanna the wife of Herod’s household manager Chuza, Susanna, and many others. These women were ministering to them out of their own means.

4Rusikʉ rʉmwɨ, riribhita rya abhaatʉ bha mumijɨ myaru, rikiibhiringa, abhaatʉ bhayo bhaarɨ bhiiziirɨ Yɨɨsu. Neho Yɨɨsu akabhabhʉʉrɨra ekerenjo kɨnʉ:While a large crowd was gathering and people were coming to Jesus from town after town, He told them this parable:

5“Kwarɨ nu umubhusuri wʉmwɨ. Rusikʉ rʉmwɨ akaja kubhusura zimbusurʉ zaazɨ mʉmʉgʉndʉ. Hanʉ aarɨ akubhusura zimbusurʉ ziyo, ɨzɨndɨ zɨkagwa kʉnzɨra, zɨkatazwatazwa, ni ibhinyunyi bhɨkaaza bhɨkazirya.“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.

6Ɨzɨndɨ, zɨkagwa kukurungutarɨ, hanʉ zaamɨrirɨ, zɨkabhurwa amanzi, zɨkanyaara.Some fell on rocky ground, and when it came up, the seedlings withered because they had no moisture.

7Ɨzɨndɨ zɨkagwa mʉmahwa. Hanʉ zimbusurʉ ziyo zaamɨrirɨ zɨkatanga kʉkʉra, amahwa gayo gakakʉra, gakazihiza.Other seed fell among thorns, which grew up with it and choked the seedlings.

8Ɨzɨndɨ zɨkagwa kwirobha rizʉmu, zɨkamera, zʉʉsi zikiibhʉra igana igana!” Yɨɨsu hanʉ aamarirɨ kʉgamba gayo, akanʉnga riraka akabhuga, “Wʉ ʉkʉtwɨ, iitegeerere.”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.”

9Abhɨɨga bhaazɨ bhakamubhuurya, “Ekerenjo kiyo, enzobhooro yaku nɨkɨ?”Then His disciples asked Him what this parable meant.

10Akabhagarukirya, “Amangʼana gʉ ʉbhʉtɨmi bhwa Mungu ganʉ giibhisirɨ, Mungu abhahumburiirɨ imwɨ mobhone kʉgamenya. Nawe abhandɨ nɨrabhabhʉʉrɨra kobherenjo chɨmbu ʉmʉrʉʉtɨrɨri Isaaya aabhugirɨ, ‘Nʉʉrʉ bhararora, bhatanaama, na nʉʉrʉ bhariigwɨ, bhatoobhoora.’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.’

11“Ne ekerenjo kiyo, enzobhooro yaku nɨ yɨnʉ: imbusurʉ nɨ‑ngʼana ya Mungu.Now this is the meaning of the parable: The seed is the word of God.

12Zimbusurʉ zɨnʉ zaagwirɨ kʉnzɨra, zereerecha abhaatʉ bhanʉ bhakwigwa ɨngʼana ya Mungu, hayohayo Shɨtaani ahaaza na kuruushaho ɨngʼana yiyo mozekoro zaabhʉ, korereke bhataaza kwisirirya, bhakasabhurwa.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.

13Zɨnʉ zaagwirɨ kukurungutarɨ zereerecha abhaatʉ bhanʉ, bhakwigwa ɨngʼana ya Mungu, bharayigwata kwa bhozomerwa na kuyiisirirya kwibhaga iguhɨ, nawe bharaagemwe, bhararitiga kʉ kʉbha bhataana imiri.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.

14Zɨnʉ zaagwirɨ mʉmahwa, zereerecha abhaatʉ bhanʉ bhakwigwa ɨngʼana ya Mungu, akʉmara bharahigwa nu ubhwʉbha, ɨnamba yu ubhuniibhi, ne eteemwa yu ubhuniibhi bhwa kʉʉsɨ. Gayo garagirya ubhwikari bhwabhʉ kʉbha chɨ ɨmɨtɨ gɨnʉ gɨtakwibhʉra imisumʉ mɨzʉmu.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.

15Na zimbusurʉ zɨnʉ zaagwirɨ kwirobha rizʉmu, zereerecha abhaatʉ bhanʉ bhakwigwa ɨngʼana ya Mungu, na kuyigwata kwa mwʉyʉ mwɨrʉ, na kwigumirirya kuhika kwibhʉra imisumʉ.But 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.

16“Abhaatʉ bhatahaagwatya ɨkɨmʉrɨ, na kukikundikirya na rihʉʉzʉ, hamwɨ kʉkɨtʉʉra mwirungu ryʉ ʉbhʉrɨrɨ. Nawe, bhahaakɨtʉʉra igʉrʉ wɨ ɨkɨkʉngʉ, korereke hanʉ abhaatʉ bhakusikɨra, bharore ubhwɨrʉ.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.

17Chʉchʉsi kɨnʉ kibhisirwɨ, kɨrabha habhwɨrʉ, na bhɨnʉ bhikundikiriibhwɨ, bhɨrahumburwa, na komenyekana.For there is nothing hidden that will not be disclosed, and nothing concealed that will not be made known and brought to light.

18“Nangʉ, mwitegeerere bhwaheene! Kʉ kʉbha, wʉnʉ akwitegeerera ɨngʼana ya Mungu na koyemenya, Mungu aramʉsakirya na kumwongerya koyemenya. Nawe arɨɨbhɨ ʉmʉʉtʉ atakwitegeerera ɨngʼana ya Mungu, nʉʉrʉ isuuhu yɨnʉ akwiseega amɨnyirɨ araruusibhwa.”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.”

19Neho unina na abhahiiri bhaazɨ bhakamwizɨra, nawe bhataaturirɨ kumuhikɨra, kʉ kʉbha abhaatʉ bhaaru bhaarɨ bhamwinaarirɨ.Then Jesus’ mother and brothers came to see Him, but they were unable to reach Him because of the crowd.

20Abhaatʉ bhakamʉbhʉʉrɨra, “Yiiya waazʉ na bhaumwanyu, bhiimiiriirɨ igʉtʉ, bhareenda kokorora.”He was told, “Your mother and brothers are standing outside, wanting to see You.”

21Yɨɨsu akabhagarukirya, “Yiiya na abhahiiri bhaanɨ, nɨ‑bhanʉ bhakwigwa ɨngʼana ya Mungu na kuyigwata.”But He replied, “My mother and brothers are those who hear the word of God and carry it out.”

22Rusikʉ rʉmwɨ, Yɨɨsu akatiira mubhwatʉ, hamwɨmwɨ na abhɨɨga bhaazɨ. Akabhabhʉʉrɨra, “Nangʉ, twambʉkɨ ɨnyanza, tujɨ imwambʉkʉ.” Bhakatanga orogendo.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.

23Hanʉ bhaarɨ bhakuja, Yɨɨsu akasundagɨra. Rogendo rʉmwɨ gʉkahuuta ʉmʉkama mʉhaari bhʉkʉngʼu! Ubhwatʉ bhʉkatanga kwizʉra amanzi, bhʉʉsi bhakabha mʉnyaakʉ.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.

24Abhɨɨga, bhakaja kwa Yɨɨsu, bhakamubhuucha, bharabhuga, “Ʉmʉkʉrʉ, Ʉmʉkʉrʉ, tʉrarika!” Yɨɨsu akabhʉʉka, rogendo rʉmwɨ akahama ʉmʉkama guyo na amakunda, bhɨkatureera, kʉkabha bhwaheene.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.

25Akʉmara akabhabhuurya, “Bhʉrɨ hayi ubhwisirirya bhwanyu?” Abhɨɨga bhayo bhakʉʉbhaha bhʉkʉngʼu na kʉrʉgʉʉra, bhariibhuurya, “Nɨ‑wɨɨwɨ wʉnʉ? Akorecha nʉʉrʉ ʉmʉkama ʉmʉhaari na amakunda, rogendo rʉmwɨ bhɨramwigwa!”“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!”

26Yɨɨsu na abhɨɨga bhaazɨ, hanʉ bhaamarirɨ kwambʉka ɨnyanza, bhakahika mucharʉ cha Abhagɨraasi, imwambʉkʉ wa kabhɨrɨ wi icharʉ cha Gariraaya.Then they sailed to the region of the Gerasenes, across the lake from Galilee.

27Yɨɨsu hanʉ iikirɨ mubhwatʉ, akarumana nu umusubhɨ wʉmwɨ wʉ ʉrʉbhɨri rurya, wa amasambwa. Ʉmʉʉtʉ wuyo aarɨ na sikʉ nzaru bhʉkʉngʼu akɨɨrɨ kwikara yɨɨka, nawe aarɨ ariikara mʉmabhigi ganʉ gaarɨ zimbihɨra, na kogenda tʉʉhʉ.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.

28Hanʉ aarʉʉzɨ Yɨɨsu, akarɨgɨsa, akamugwɨra embere waazɨ aragamba kwiraka ikʉrʉ, “Nɨ‑nakɨ na naawɨ, Yɨɨsu Umwana wa Mungu wi Igʉrʉ wa Bhyʉsi? Nɨrakwisasaama kuriina rya Mungu ʉtanyaacha.”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!”

29Akagambabhu kʉ kʉbha Yɨɨsu aarɨ abhuuriirɨ risambwa riyo rirwɨ kʉmʉʉtʉ wuyo. Risambwa riyo ryarɨ rɨramugwata manga kaaru, na abhaatʉ bhaarɨ bharamuriibha kwa komobhoha ne emenyororo, nawe aarɨ aratɨna. Na amasambwa gakamuhira ahagero hanʉ hataana abhaatʉ.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.

30Yɨɨsu akamubhuurya, “Iriina ryazʉ wɨɨwɨ?” Akamʉgarukirya, “Iriina ryanɨ, nɨ‑Bhasirikarɨ.” Akagambabhu, kʉ kʉbha amasambwa maaru gaarɨ gamusikiriirɨ.“What is your name?” Jesus asked. “Legion,” he replied, because many demons had gone into him.

31Amasambwa gayo, gakatanga kwisasaama Yɨɨsu atagaswaja kuja mwirʉʉma rya nyaari.And the demons kept begging Jesus not to order them to go into the Abyss.

32Ahagero hayo kwarɨ nɨ ɨkɨgʉrʉ, na rusizʉ wɨ ɨkɨgʉrʉ, ryareho rihizʉ ikʉrʉ rya zingurubhɨ rɨrariisha. Neho amasambwa gayo gakiisasaama Yɨɨsu, agiisiririryɨ gasikɨrɨrɨ zingurubhɨ. Yɨɨsu akagiisiririrya.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.

33Amasambwa gayo gakarwɨku ʉmʉʉtʉ wuyo, gakaja muzingurubhɨ. Rihizʉ riyo rɨkahiringita mwega ikihiringintʉ ɨkɨhaari zɨkagwa mʉmanzi zɨkakwa.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.

34Kwareho na abhariisha bha zingurubhɨ ziyo. Abhariisha bhayo, bhaaza korora gʉʉsi ganʉ gahurukirɨ, bhakaryara, bhakaraganʼya amangʼana gayo mʉzɨmbɨri.When those tending the pigs saw what had happened, they ran off and reported this in the town and countryside.

35Neho abhaatʉ bhayo bhakabhʉʉka kuja korora amangʼana gayo chɨmbu garɨ. Bhakahikɨra Yɨɨsu, bhakarora ʉmʉʉtʉ wʉnʉ aruusiibhwɨ amasambwa, ikɨɨrɨ haguhɨ na amagʉrʉ ga Yɨɨsu, ibhʉhirɨ zengebho, ana amangʼɨɨni gakunaanirɨ. Abhaatʉ bhayo bhakʉʉbhaha.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.

36Akʉmara abhaatʉ bhanʉ bhiirʉrɨɨrɨ ɨbhɨsɨgʉ bhiyo, bhakatanga kʉbhʉʉrɨra abhakɨndichabhʉ, chɨmbu Yɨɨsu aahʉriryɨ ʉmʉʉtʉ wʉnʉ aarɨ na amasambwa.Meanwhile, those who had seen it reported how the demon-possessed man had been healed.

37Abhaatʉ bhʉʉsi bhanʉ bhaarɨ bhiibhiringirɨ kurwa mucharʉ cha Abhagɨraasi bhakʉʉbhaha bhʉkʉngʼu, bhakasabha Yɨɨsu arwɨ mucharʉ chabhʉ. Neho Yɨɨsu akatiira mubhwatʉ kʉgarʉka Gariraaya.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.

38Ʉmʉʉtʉ wʉnʉ aaruusiibhwɨ amasambwa, akiisasaama Yɨɨsu ajɨ nawe. Nawe Yɨɨsu akaanga, akamʉbhʉʉrɨra,The man whom the demons had left begged to go with Jesus. But He sent him away, saying,

39“Garʉka ɨwaanyu, ʉbhʉʉrɨrɨ abhaatʉ amangʼana ganʉ Mungu akʉkʉrɨɨrɨ.” Neho ʉmʉʉtʉ wuyo akarwa hayo, akaja, akabha ararwazɨra abhaatʉ ahagero hʉʉsi mʉrʉbhɨri amangʼana amazʉmu ganʉ Yɨɨsu aamʉkʉrɨɨrɨ.“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.

40Hanʉ Yɨɨsu aahikirɨ Gariraaya, riribhita rya abhaatʉ rɨkamʉsʉngʼaana kwo obhozomerwa, kʉ kʉbha bhaarɨ bharamʉrɨnda.When Jesus returned, the crowd welcomed Him, for they had all been waiting for Him.

41Neho akaaza ʉmʉʉtʉ wʉmwɨ, arabhirikirwa Yairʉ, ʉmʉkʉrʉ wa rirwazɨrʉ. Akahigama mʉbhʉtangɨ bhwa Yɨɨsu, akamwisasaama ajɨ yɨɨka waazɨ,Just then a synagogue leader named Jairus came and fell at Jesus’ feet. He begged Him to come to his house,

42kʉ kʉbha umuucha waazɨ umumwɨmwɨ, wʉnʉ aarɨ ni imyaka ikumi nɨ ɨbhɨrɨ, aarɨ haguhɨ kukwa. Hanʉ Yɨɨsu aarɨ akuja, riribhita rya bhaatʉ rɨkabha rɨramurimbya mbaara zʉʉsi.because his only daughter, who was about twelve, was dying. As Jesus went with him, the crowds pressed around Him,

43Gatɨgatɨ wa abhaatʉ bhayo kwarɨ nʉ ʉmʉkari, wʉnʉ anu ubhurwɨrɨ bhwɨ ɨngɨzi kwibhaga ryi imyaka ikumi nɨ ɨbhɨrɨ. Wʉnʉ aarɨ ahurukiryɨ ebhegero bhyazɨ bhyaru kʉrɨha abhagabhʉ, ataabhʉnɨkirɨ wʉnʉ aaturirɨ komohorya.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.

44Ʉmʉkari wuyo akaja inyuma wa Yɨɨsu, akakunʼyaku ripindʉ rye engebho yaazɨ. Hayohayo ɨngɨzi ɨkatɨnɨka, akahora.She came up behind Jesus and touched the fringe of His cloak, and immediately her bleeding stopped.

45Yɨɨsu akabhuurya, “Nɨ‑wɨɨwɨ wʉnʉ ankuniryɨku?” Abhaatʉ bhʉʉsi bhakabhuga, atareeho wʉnʉ amukuniryɨku. Peetero wʉʉsi akamʉbhʉʉrɨra, “Ʉmʉkʉrʉ, nɨ‑bhaatʉ bhaaru bhakwinaarirɨ, nebho bhakukuniryɨku!”“Who touched Me?” Jesus asked. But they all denied it. “Master,” said Peter, “the people are crowding and pressing against You.”

46Nawe, Yɨɨsu akabhuga, “Nɨɨzɨ ʉmʉʉtʉ ankuniryɨ, kʉ kʉbha niriiyigwa zinguru zinduurɨku.”But Jesus declared, “Someone touched Me, for I know that power has gone out from Me.”

47Ʉmʉkari wuyo, akarora ɨtakʉtʉrɨkana kwibhisa, akaaza akagwɨra Yɨɨsu mʉmagʉrʉ, ɨnʉ ararigita. Akamʉbhʉʉrɨra mʉbhʉtangɨ bhwa bhaatʉ bhʉʉsi, kɨnʉ kigiriryɨ kumukunʼyaku, na chɨmbu ahʉrirɨ rogendo rʉmwɨ.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.

48Yɨɨsu akamʉbhʉʉrɨra, “Muucha, ubhwisirirya bhwazʉ bhʉkʉhʉriryɨ! Nuujɨ no omorembe.”“Daughter,” said Jesus, “your faith has healed you. Go in peace.”

49Hanʉ Yɨɨsu aarɨ akɨɨrɨ aragamba, akaaza ʉmʉʉtʉ kurwa wʉ ʉmʉkʉrʉ Yairʉ. Akabhʉʉrɨra Yairʉ, “Muucha waazʉ, akuurɨ. Ʉtanyaacha Umwija.”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.”

50Hanʉ Yɨɨsu iigwirɨ amangʼana gayo, akabhʉʉrɨra Yairʉ, “Ʉtʉʉbhaha! Ʉbhɨ nu ubhwisirirya, nu umuucha waazʉ arahora.”But Jesus overheard them and said to Jairus, “Do not be afraid; just believe, and she will be healed.”

51Hanʉ Yɨɨsu aahikirɨ mumujɨ gwa Yairʉ, akarecha abhaatʉ abhandɨ kusikɨra hamwɨmwɨ nawe, kuruushaku Peetero, Yoohana, Yaakobho, na abhiibhuri bhu umuucha wuyo.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.

52Abhaatʉ bhʉʉsi mʉrʉbhɨri ruyo, bhaarɨ bhararɨra na kwarama igʉrʉ wu umuucha wuyo. Nawe, Yɨɨsu akabhabhʉʉrɨra, “Mutigɨ kʉrɨra! Umuucha wʉnʉ akɨɨrɨ kukwa, nawe ahindiirɨ.”Meanwhile, everyone was weeping and mourning for her. But Jesus said, “Stop weeping; she is not dead but asleep.”

53Abhaatʉ bhayo bhakatanga komoseka, kʉ kʉbha bhakamenya maheene umuucha wuyo akuurɨ.And they laughed at Him, knowing that she was dead.

54Yɨɨsu, akagwata okobhoko kwu umuucha wuyo, akamʉbhʉʉrɨra, “Umuucha, bhʉʉka!”But Jesus took her by the hand and called out, “Child, get up!”

55Rogendo rʉmwɨ, umuucha wuyo akatindʉka, akiimɨɨrɨra. Yɨɨsu akabhabhʉʉrɨra abhiibhuri bhaazɨ bhamohe ibhyakurya.Her spirit returned, and at once she got up. And He directed that she be given something to eat.

56Hanʉ abhiibhuri bhaazɨ bhaarʉʉzɨ gayo, bhakarʉgʉʉra bhʉkʉngʼu, nawe Yɨɨsu akabharecha bhatabhʉʉrɨra ʉmʉʉtʉ wʉwʉʉsi ganʉ gakʉrirwɨ.Her parents were astounded, but Jesus ordered them not to tell anyone what had happened.
