Luke 8 (LYN) · Opened

1Munyima no eyo Jesu sebeli ota mu milenen̄i ni mu mindi yo iyeta Eliywi no kuwaba no mubuso wa Nyambe. Aiyetwa aye no ku kwana likumi na yiili aali nayeSoon 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,

2nakati ngeeso ana ku balisiwa ku mebo no kwiiba ni ku meeti. Maliya ona kwiisaniwa nji Magadalena woyo ona ku tundisiwa emebo no kwiiba itanu ni yiili (7),as well as some women who had been healed of evil spirits and infirmities: Mary called Magdalene, from whom seven demons had gone out,

3ni Joana omoywa Chuza, esikombwa sa Heloda, ni Suzana, nanjili ngeeso ano kupula, ana ku sebeleza Jesu ni ufumu woo.Joanna the wife of Herod’s household manager Chuza, Susanna, and many others. These women were ministering to them out of their own means.

4Cwale oundi no aanu aba ona kumana oukuwana, naanu ana ku tunda mu titolopo tonje sebeli aiya kwa Jesu, sebeli waambela enguli nji,While a large crowd was gathering and people were coming to Jesus from town after town, He told them this parable:

5“Omukuni nakuta muku kuna embuto yaye, mi yo lemine okukuna ngeeso, injili embuto sebeli ikwela mu ndila, mi sebeli ilyatangiwa ni makondo, mi otuyunyi na mu wilu sebeli iilya.“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.

6Injili sebeli ikwela ba mawee, eikula sebeli iletuka, kakuli kakwa sikwikala omukamo.Some fell on rocky ground, and when it came up, the seedlings withered because they had no moisture.

7Cwale einjili sebeli ikwela mu mikakani, mi emikakani aba ina kukulelela bamweya sebeli iyowelisa embuto.Other seed fell among thorns, which grew up with it and choked the seedlings.

8Cwale injili mbuto sebeli ikwela mu mumbu no kuwaba niku kula wino ni kubeeka omwaanda no etimbuto.” Yo amba ngeeso, sebeli okuweleza nji, “Woyo oli ni matwi no ku yupisa, ayupe!”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.”

9Cwale aiyetwa aye aba ana ku mwibanguta etaluso no nguli eyo,Then His disciples asked Him what this parable meant.

10sebeli wamba nji, “Anyi na mubiwi oku limuka etikunutu no mubuso wa Nyambe, kono anjili kame atalusetwa mu tinguli, nji cwale oku mona kame amona kono kayupisisa.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.’

11Cwale enguli kame italusa ngeesi nji, embuto eliywi lya Nyambe.Now this is the meaning of the parable: The seed is the word of God.

12Embuto ina ku kwela mu ndila okame awo ana yupu eliywi, cwale Diyabulosi aba aiya kame atundisa eliywi ana yupu mu micima yoo nji alese oku pumena ni ku yoyisiwa.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.

13Embuto eyo ili ba liwee okame awo, aba amana okuyupa eliywi, kame alitambula mu kuwabelelwa, kono kakwite emibisi mi kame alitambula mu nako icana feela, cwale emiliko aba iiya kame akwa.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.

14Mi kweyo ina kwele mu mikona, okame awo ayupa eliywi, kono aba ata mu ndila yoo kame akeshebiswa ni tipilaelo ni ufumu, ni myelembo no mooyo, mi embuya yoo kayiimbi.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.

15Mi kweyo mbuto ili mu mumbu no kuwaba, okame awo ayupa eliywi ni ku litambula muwangu ni mu ku sepahala ni micima no kuwaba, ni ku beeka embuya mu ku tundamena.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.

16Kakwisa omunu otwesa oku monyeka elambi ni kwifukela munji no siwana, simba okwibeeka munji no mumbeta, kono ibeekiwe ba lutala nji omunu aba aingena amone eliseli.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.

17Kakuli kakwisa eso sishweekiwa eso sasi ulwe oku shootolwa, simba esi sili kuuwi sasi ulwe oku limukiwa ni kwiiya ba liseli.For there is nothing hidden that will not be disclosed, and nothing concealed that will not be made known and brought to light.

18Cwale mumamele omu muyupela, kakuli woyo okwite eso ali naso, mba beekelwa, kono awo aulwile esinjiili, simba eso apuluka nji kame ali naso mbasi byanguliwa.”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.”

19Cwale inawaye Jesu na inaaye sebeli aiya kwa yonyene, kono kasi ku twesa okukeela ku nyonga yaye, mulibaka no kupula no aanu.Then Jesus’ mother and brothers came to see Him, but they were unable to reach Him because of the crowd.

20Cwale Jesu sebeli wambeliwa nji, “Inaowe na inoowe kame aimanine bandee, kame ashukele oukumona.”He was told, “Your mother and brothers are standing outside, wanting to see You.”

21Kono Jesu sebeli wamba kwa onyene nji, “Inawange na inaange okame awo ayupa eliywi lya Nyambe niku libelekisa.”But He replied, “My mother and brothers are those who hear the word of God and carry it out.”

22Eliywaa linjili Jesu sebeli okulonga na iyetwa aye mu wato ni kwamba kwa onyene nji, “Tu lutelenyi mu linjaliya no lisa.” Cwale sebeli afuula.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.

23Alemine okuluta ngeeso, Jesu sebeli olangana okutela ba tulo. Cwale emebo no lin̄ungwa sebeli iinguka ba lisa, mane sebeli asinga okutika ku meyi mi kame ana kwikala mu utata no kuneneba.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.

24Aiyetwa sebeli ata kwa Jesu oka mwingula aamba nji, “Molyetu, Molyetu! kame tufa!” Mi Jesu sebeli oinguka ni ku kalimela elin̄ungwa ni mandinda, mi sebeli iimana ni kondoka tuu.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.

25Cwale Jesu sebeli wamba kwa iyetwa aye nji, “Etumelo yenu ibine?” Mi sebeli acila ni ku komoka nuukwambisa omunjili ku munjili nji, “Anyine cwale wuyu mulume? Nji mane kame alaela emebo ni meyi, mi kame imukuteka!”“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!”

26Cwale Jesu na iyetwa aye sebeli aka fuweka mu naha no Magelasenesi, eyo ikubapile ni Galileya.Then they sailed to the region of the Gerasenes, across the lake from Galilee.

27Cwale Jesu yosi longoka feela okuta ba likamba, sebeli okwangana ni mulume ona ku tunda mu mulenen̄i osi mebo no kwiiba, ba nako no kuleba kasi kumanganga eikumango mane kasi ku yoyanga mu ndoo, kono mu mayumbelo.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.

28Cwale omulume woyo aba ana kumona Jesu, sebeli okuweleza ni liywi no kuneneba ni ku mukubamena balubala lwaye ni kwamba niliywi linene nji, “Iikene osaela oku tenda ni mene, Jesu Mwana Nyambe OMWAMBAKANI oli beulu? Kame niku kumbela, olese oku ni yandisa!”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!”

29Kakuli Jesu kame ana ku laela emebo no kwiiba oku tunda mwa woyo mulume. Kakuli mu tinako no kupula kame ina ku katazanga onene, mane kame ana ku babalelwangwa yo nungilwe ni tungongolo, ni yoondo ku makondo, kono kame ana kucola otungongolo, mi emebo no kwiiba sebeli imu twala mu lihalaupa.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.

30Jesu cwale sebeli omwibanguta nji, “Tiwe anyine elitina?” Mi sebeli otambula nji, “Time empi,’” kakuli emebo no kupula no kwiiba kame ina ku mwingena.“What is your name?” Jesus asked. “Legion,” he replied, because many demons had gone into him.

31Cwale emebo no kwiiba sebeli ikumbela Jesu nji alese okwilaela nji ite mu wina.And the demons kept begging Jesus not to order them to go into the Abyss.

32Cwale omulaka no kuneneba no angulube kame ona ku lyelanga ba lilundu, mi cwale emebo no kwiiba sebeli ikumbela Jesu nji iingene mu tingulube, sebeli oipumenena okaingenamo.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.

33Cwale emebo no kwiiba sebeli itunda ku mulume nukaingena mu tingulube, mi omulaka sebeli witukela mu lin̄ope no lisa ni ku mina ameyi.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.

34Cwale aanu aba ana kumona eyo ina tendahala, sebeli acila nuukabiha etaba eyo mu mulenen̄i ni mu naha.When those tending the pigs saw what had happened, they ran off and reported this in the town and countryside.

35Cwale aanu sebeli ata oka mona eyo ina tendahala, mi sebeli aiya kwa Jesu nuukawana omulume ona ku tundisiwa emebo no kwiiba yo ikalile ba makondo a Jesu, yo ku fukile yo ku ketile wino ni tingana taye, cwale sebeli acila.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.

36Cwale awo ana ku mona eyo sebeli aambela aanu omu ana ku yandisetwa ku mebo no kwiiba nomo ana balisetwe.Meanwhile, those who had seen it reported how the demon-possessed man had been healed.

37Cwale aanu onje na mu manyonga no naha no Magelesani sebeli akumbela Jesu nji aasiye kakuli kame ana ku lemiwa ku kucila onene, mi sebeli oingena mu wato ni kuuka.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.

38Omulume woyo ona ku tundisiwa emebo no kwiiba sebeli okumbela Jesu nji ate naye, Kono Jesu sebeli omulukulula nji akutele ni ku mwamba nji,The man whom the demons had left begged to go with Jesus. But He sent him away, saying,

39“Ouke ku mundi wowe, mi okaambe einu no kuneneba ana tende Nyambe kwa wene.” Mi woyo mulume sebeli okutela okaamba eyo inene ana tendelwe kwa Jesu mu mulenen̄i monje.“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.

40Cwale Jesu aba ana kuuka, oundi no aanu sebeli omu tambula, kakuli onje kame ana ku mu tatelela.When Jesus returned, the crowd welcomed Him, for they had all been waiting for Him.

41Cwale sebeli kwiiya omulume no litina lya Jailasi, omwendisi no ndoo no milapelo, ni ku kwela ku makondo a Jesu, mi sebeli omu kumbela nji ate ku ndoo yaye,Just then a synagogue leader named Jairus came and fell at Jesus’ feet. He begged Him to come to his house,

42kakuli kame ana kwikalanga ni mwana mumweya no mukatana, osi myaka likumi ni yiili, mi kame ana kwiikala beebi ni kufa. Cwale Jesu yo seenda, aanu sebeli amuumbelela.because his only daughter, who was about twelve, was dying. As Jesus went with him, the crowds pressed around Him,

43Cwale omukati ona ku tomanga oweeti no mweeya mu myaka likumi ni yiili, kasi ku twesahala oku balisiwa ku munu,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.

44sebeli wiiya munyima ya Jesu, ni kulema ku mungundo no mukanjo waye, mi ababo sebeli obala ku weeti waye no mweeya.She came up behind Jesus and touched the fringe of His cloak, and immediately her bleeding stopped.

45Cwale Jesu sebeli oibanguta nji, “Anyini ona nileme?” Cwale aanu onje sebeli akana, mi Pitolosi sebeli wamba nji, “Molyange, oundi no aanu akuumbelele, mi kame aku sinanisa.”“Who touched Me?” Jesus asked. But they all denied it. “Master,” said Peter, “the people are crowding and pressing against You.”

46Kono Jesu sebeli wamba nji, “Omunjili nani leme, kakuli kame ni lemuha nji amaata anjili naabu mwa mene.”But Jesus declared, “Someone touched Me, for I know that power has gone out from Me.”

47Cwale omukati abana kumona nji katwese oukushweeka, sebeli oiya kwa Jesu yo cilile, ni ku mukubamena ni kwamba balubala no aanu eso ana ku mulemena noomo ana balele muwangu-wangu.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.

48Cwale Jesu sebeli wamba kwa yonyene nji, “Mwanange, etumelo yowe naiku yoyisa. Ote mu kozo.”“Daughter,” said Jesus, “your faith has healed you. Go in peace.”

49Jesu yo saamba, sebeli kwiiya omulume ona ku tundelela ku ndoo no mwendisi ni kwamba nji, “Mwanowe nafu, olese oku kataza Omwiyeti.”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.”

50Kono Jesu aba ana kuyupa ngeeso, sebeli wambela Jailosi nji, “Olese ku cila, opumene feela, mi mwanowe mba yoyisiwa.”But Jesus overheard them and said to Jairus, “Do not be afraid; just believe, and she will be healed.”

51Cwale aba ana ku keela ku ndoo, kasi ku pumenena omunu okwingena mu ndoo, konji Pitolosi, ni Jowani, ni Jakobo, sitaye ni inawaye omwanukana.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.

52Cwale onje aanu kame anaku lilanga ni ku musilisa, kono Jesu sebeli waambela nji, “Mulese kulila, omwanukana kasifa, kono kame alanganine feela!”Meanwhile, everyone was weeping and mourning for her. But Jesus said, “Stop weeping; she is not dead but asleep.”

53Cwale onje sebeli asheka Jesu, muku limuka nji omwanukana nafu.And they laughed at Him, knowing that she was dead.

54Jesu sebeli omulema ku lyooko ni ku mwisana nji, “Mwanukana, inguka!”But Jesus took her by the hand and called out, “Child, get up!”

55Cwale emebo yaye sebeli yukela mwa yonyene, mi ababo omwanukana sebeli oinguka, cwale Jesu sebeli olaela nji omwanukana alukisetwe esi no kulya nji alye.Her spirit returned, and at once she got up. And He directed that she be given something to eat.

56Cwale ashemi aye sebeli akomoka, kono Jesu sebeli waalaelela nji alese okwambela omunu eyo ina tendahala.Her parents were astounded, but Jesus ordered them not to tell anyone what had happened.
