Mark 9 (LUG) · Opened

1Awo Yesu n’abagamba nti, “Ddala ddala mbagamba nti, Abamu ku bantu abali wano tebalifa okuggyako nga bamaze okulaba obwakabaka bwa Katonda nga bujja n’amaanyi.”Then Jesus said to them, “Truly I tell you, there are some standing here who will not taste death before they see the kingdom of God arrive with power.”

2Bwe waayitawo ennaku mukaaga Yesu n’atwala Peetero ne Yakobo ne Yokaana n’abakulembera ne bagenda ku ntikko y’olusozi oluwanvu ne babeera eyo bokka. Amangwago n’afuusibwa nga balaba,After six days Jesus took with Him Peter, James, and John, and led them up a high mountain by themselves. There He was transfigured before them.

3ebyambalo bye ne byeruka nnyo, nga tewali muntu ku nsi asobola kubyoza kubituusa awo!His clothes became radiantly white, brighter than any launderer on earth could bleach them.

4Awo Eriya ne Musa ne babalabikira ne batandika okwogera ne Yesu!And Elijah and Moses appeared before them, talking with Jesus.

5Peetero n’agamba Yesu nti, “Labbi, kirungi tubeere wano, tubazimbire ensiisira ssatu, emu nga yiyo, n’endala nga ya Musa, n’endala nga ya Eriya.”Peter said to Jesus, “Rabbi, it is good for us to be here. Let us put up three shelters—one for You, one for Moses, and one for Elijah.”

6Yayogera atyo olw’okutya okungi okwabajjira.For they were all so terrified that Peter did not know what else to say.

7Awo ne walabika ekire, ne kibasaanikira ne muvaamu eddoboozi ne ligamba nti, “Ono ye Mwana wange omwagalwa. Mumuwulirirenga.”Then a cloud appeared and enveloped them, and a voice came from the cloud: “This is My beloved Son. Listen to Him!”

8Amangwago okugenda okukyusa amaaso gaabwe nga tewali muntu mulala okuggyako Yesu eyaliwo yekka nabo.Suddenly, when they looked around, they saw no one with them except Jesus.

9Bwe baali baserengeta olusozi, Yesu n’abakuutira ekyo kye balabye obutakyogerangako okutuusa ng’Omwana w’Omuntu amaze okuzuukira mu bafu.As they were coming down the mountain, Jesus admonished them not to tell anyone what they had seen until the Son of Man had risen from the dead.

10Bwe batyo nabo ne bakikuuma nga kya kyama, naye ne beebuuzaganya ku by’okufa n’okuzuukira kwe.So they kept this matter to themselves, discussing what it meant to rise from the dead.

11Awo ne bamubuuza nti, “Lwaki abannyonnyozi b’amateeka bagamba nti Eriya asaanira asooke okujja.”And they asked Jesus, “Why do the scribes say that Elijah must come first?”

12Yesu n’abagamba nti, “Weewaawo Eriya y’ateekwa okusooka okujja alongoose ebintu byonna. Lwaki kyawandiikibwa ku Mwana w’Omuntu nti ateekwa okubonaabona ennyo n’okunyoomebwa?He replied, “Elijah does indeed come first, and he restores all things. Why then is it written that the Son of Man must suffer many things and be rejected?

13Naye mbagamba nti, Ddala ddala Eriya yajja! Naye yayisibwa bubi nnyo, nga bwe baayagala, nga bwe kyawandiikibwa ku ye.”But I tell you that Elijah has indeed come, and they have done to him whatever they wished, just as it is written about him.”

14Yesu n’abayigirizwa bali abasatu bwe bakka eri bannaabwe okuva ku lusozi, ne basanga ekibiina kinene nga kyetoolodde bannaabwe, abannyonnyozi b’amateeka nga bawakana nabo.When they returned to the other disciples, they saw a large crowd around them, and scribes arguing with them.

15Amangwago ekibiina kyonna bwe kyamulaba, ne badduka ne bagenda gy’ali ne bamwaniriza.As soon as all the people saw Jesus, they were filled with awe and ran to greet Him.

16Yesu n’ababuuza nti, “Kiki kye muwakana nabo?”“What are you disputing with them?” He asked.

17Omu ku basajja abaali mu kibiina ne yeesowolayo n’agamba nti, “Omuyigiriza, naleese wano omwana wange omuwonye. Tayinza kwogera aliko omwoyo omubi.Someone in the crowd replied, “Teacher, I brought You my son, who has a spirit that makes him mute.

18Era buli lwe gumulumba gumusuula wansi, n’abimba ejjovu ku mimwa n’aluma amannyo, olwo yenna n’akakanyala. Nsabye abayigirizwa bo bagumugobeko, naye ne balemwa.”Whenever it seizes him, it throws him to the ground. He foams at the mouth, gnashes his teeth, and becomes rigid. I asked Your disciples to drive it out, but they were unable.”

19Yesu n’agamba nti, “Mmwe, omulembe ogutakkiriza ndituusa ddi okubeera nammwe? Mbagumiikirize kutuusa ddi? Mumundeetere wano.”“O unbelieving generation!” Jesus replied. “How long must I remain with you? How long must I put up with you? Bring the boy to Me.”

20Ne bamumuleetera. Omwoyo bwe gwamulaba ne gusikambula omulenzi, ne gumusuula wansi, nga bwe yeevulungula nga bw’abimba n’ejjovu ku mimwa.So they brought him, and seeing Jesus, the spirit immediately threw the boy into a convulsion. He fell to the ground and rolled around, foaming at the mouth.

21Yesu n’abuuza kitaawe w’omwana nti, “Kino kimaze bbanga ki?” Kitaawe n’addamu nti, “Okuviira ddala mu buto.Jesus asked the boy’s father, “How long has this been with him?” “From childhood,” he said.

22Oluusi gumusuula mu muliro oluusi mu mazzi nga gwagala okumutta. Obanga olina ky’osobola okutukolera, tusaasire.”“It often throws him into the fire or into the water, trying to kill him. But if You can do anything, have compassion on us and help us.”

23Yesu n’amuddamu nti, “Obanga osobola! Buli kimu kisoboka eri oyo akkiriza.”“If You can?” echoed Jesus. “All things are possible to him who believes!”

24Amangwago Kitaawe w’omwana n’ayogerera waggulu nti, “Nzikiriza, naye nnyamba okukkiriza kwange kweyogereko!”Immediately the boy’s father cried out, “I do believe; help my unbelief!”

25Yesu bwe yalaba ng’ekibiina kyeyongera obunene, n’aboggolera dayimooni nti, “Ggwe omwoyo omubi ogutayogera era omuggavu gw’amatu nkulagira muveeko, era tomuddiranga.”When Jesus saw that a crowd had come running, He rebuked the unclean spirit. “You deaf and mute spirit,” He said, “I command you to come out and never enter him again.”

26Awo omwoyo ne guwowoggana nnyo, ne gumusikambula nnyo, ne gumuvaako n’aba ng’afudde, bangi ne balowooza nti afudde.After shrieking and convulsing him violently, the spirit came out. The boy became like a corpse, so that many said, “He is dead.”

27Naye Yesu n’amukwata ku mukono n’amuyimiriza.But Jesus took him by the hand and helped him to his feet, and he stood up.

28Awo Yesu bwe yayingira mu nnyumba abayigirizwa be, ne bamubuuza mu kyama nti, “Lwaki ffe tetwasobodde kumugoba?”After Jesus had gone into the house, His disciples asked Him privately, “Why couldn’t we drive it out?”

29N’addamu nti, “Ogw’engeri eno teguyinza kugenda awatali kusaba.”Jesus answered, “This kind cannot come out, except by prayer.”

30Bwe baava mu bitundu ebyo ne bayita mu Ggaliraaya. Yesu yali tayagala muntu yenna kumanya.Going on from there, they passed through Galilee. But Jesus did not want anyone to know,

31Kubanga yali ayigiriza abayigirizwa ng’abagamba nti, “Omwana w’Omuntu, ajja kuliibwamu olukwe era ajja kuweebwayo mu mikono gy’abantu abalimutta era nga wayise ennaku ssatu alizuukira.”because He was teaching His disciples. He told them, “The Son of Man will be delivered into the hands of men. They will kill Him, and after three days He will rise.”

32Wabula tebaategeera bye yayogera ate ne batya okumubuuza.But they did not understand this statement, and they were afraid to ask Him about it.

33Awo ne batuuka e Kaperunawumu. Bwe baali mu nnyumba, n’ababuuza nti, “Mubadde muwakana ku ki mu kkubo?”Then they came to Capernaum. While Jesus was in the house, He asked them, “What were you discussing on the way?”

34Naye ne basirika kubanga mu kkubo baawakanira asinga ekitiibwa mu bo!But they were silent, for on the way they had been arguing about which of them was the greatest.

35Awo bwe yatuula n’ayita ekkumi n’ababiri, n’abagamba nti, “Omuntu yenna bw’ayagala okuba oweekitiibwa okusinga banne, asaana yeetoowaze era abe omuweereza w’abalala.”Sitting down, Jesus called the Twelve and said, “If anyone wants to be first, he must be the last of all and the servant of all.”

36N’addira omwana omuto n’amussa wakati waabwe, n’amusitula mu mikono gye n’abagamba nti,Then He had a little child stand among them. Taking the child in His arms, He said to them,

37“Buli asembeza omwana omuto ng’ono mu linnya lyange, aba asembezezza nze. N’oyo asembeza nze aba tasembezezza nze nzekka, wabula aba asembezezza n’oyo eyantuma.”“Whoever welcomes one of these little children in My name welcomes Me, and whoever welcomes Me welcomes not only Me, but the One who sent Me.”

38Yokaana n’amugamba nti, “Omuyigiriza, twalaba omuntu ng’agoba baddayimooni mu linnya lyo, ne tumuziyiza kubanga tayita naffe.”John said to Him, “Teacher, we saw someone else driving out demons in Your name, and we tried to stop him, because he does not accompany us.”

39Naye Yesu n’amuddamu nti, “Temumuziyizanga, kubanga tewali muntu n’omu akola ebikolwa eby’amaanyi mu linnya lyange ate amangwago n’anjogerako bibi.“Do not stop him,” Jesus replied. “For no one who performs a miracle in My name can turn around and speak evil of Me.

40Kubanga buli atatuvuganya aba akolera wamu naffe.For whoever is not against us is for us.

41Buli abawa eggiraasi y’amazzi okunywako mu linnya lyange kubanga muli bantu ba Kristo, ddala ddala mbagamba nti talirema kuweebwa mpeera.”Indeed, if anyone gives you even a cup of water because you bear the name of Christ, truly I tell you, he will never lose his reward.

42“Na buli alyesittaza omu ku bato bano abanzikiriza, ekyandisinze, kwe kumusiba ejjinja ery’olubengo olunene, n’asuulibwa mu nnyanja.But if anyone causes one of these little ones who believe in Me to stumble, it would be better for him to have a large millstone hung around his neck and to be thrown into the sea.

43Obanga omukono gwo gukwesittaza, gutemeko! Kisinga okuyingira mu bulamu ng’ogongobadde okusinga okuba n’emikono ebiri n’olaga mu ggeyeena,If your hand causes you to sin, cut it off. It is better for you to enter life crippled than to have two hands and go into hell, into the unquenchable fire.

44mu muliro ogutazikira.Not in the BSB

45Era obanga ekigere kyo kikwesittaza, kitemeko; okuba omulema n’oyingira mu bulamu kisinga okuba n’ebigere ebibiri n’osuulibwa mu ggeyeenaIf your foot causes you to sin, cut it off. It is better for you to enter life lame than to have two feet and be thrown into hell.

46envunyu gye zitafa mu muliro ogutazikira.Not in the BSB

47Era obanga eriiso lyo likwesittaza, liggyeemu! Kisinga okuyingira mu bwakabaka bwa Katonda ng’oli wa liiso limu okusinga okubeera n’amaaso go gombi,And if your eye causes you to sin, pluck it out. It is better for you to enter the kingdom of God with one eye than to have two eyes and be thrown into hell,

48n’osuulibwa mu ggeyeena, “envunyu gye zitafa n’omuliro gye gutazikira.where ‘their worm never dies, and the fire is never quenched.’

49Buli muntu aliyisibwa mu muliro, ng’emmere bwerungibwamu omunnyo.”For everyone will be salted with fire.

50“Omunnyo mulungi, naye bwe guggwaamu ensa, guzzibwamu gutya obuka bwagwo? Noolwekyo mube n’omunnyo mu mmwe era mubeerenga n’emirembe buli muntu ne munne.”Salt is good, but if the salt loses its saltiness, with what will you season it? Have salt among yourselves, and be at peace with one another.”
