Luke 8 (MGH2016)

1Athameke vavawo, Yesu ahorwaa nkwaha wo mmawani ni ittoko ahimiachaka Malhove Orera o Imwene ya Nlhuku. Akarumiya awe khumi ni elhi yaari anttukanaka.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,

2Tho, akina yaari manyopani oomolhelhiye mashoka o unanara ni Yesu ni ulhamihiya mareta aya. Yayo phi anganya Amariamu eehaniya Magidalena, omolhelhiye mashoka saba,as well as some women who had been healed of evil spirits and infirmities: Mary called Magdalene, from whom seven demons had gone out,

3Nayoana mahanu a Nakuuza attu aapanga ntheko upuwani u Naherode, Asusaana ni manyopani enchi akina aakumiha nhakhu waya unkavihera Yesu ni owiittucha awe.Joanna the wife of Herod’s household manager Chuza, Susanna, and many others. These women were ministering to them out of their own means.

4Milhoko cha attu nkachaarwa wa Yesu chikhumaka iwani imoka baada ye ikina. Vaari aya anachanre, Yesu nkaahimeria nna nlhikaaniho nna,While a large crowd was gathering and people were coming to Jesus from town after town, He told them this parable:

5“Ahokhalha ntu mmoka aarweelhe uwaalhani imbeyu cho meelhe. Vaalha awe aari amichaka, nkachaakhalha chaamonre vaphironi, nkachaanyikalhachiya na attu, ni ashinuni o wiirimu nkayaalhiacha.“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.

6Chikina chaamorenlhe vamwalhani, vaamenlhe aya nkachaanyalha, ukhalhawaya ittaya khayaari ni maashi.Some fell on rocky ground, and when it came up, the seedlings withered because they had no moisture.

7Imbeyu chikhwawe chaamorenlhe vaari ittaya yoombone, chahomelha ni utiyelhelhiya ni miiwa.Other seed fell among thorns, which grew up with it and choked the seedlings.

8Chikina chaamorenlhe vachaayirani chinene, minyepu nkachonnuwa ni uyara meelhe, kila nchashi imbeyu imia imoka.” Yesu nkaamalhiha eeraka, “Ri ni maaru eeweke!”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.”

9Owiittucha awe nkayankoha Yesu maana o yayo malhikaaniho ayo,Then His disciples asked Him what this parable meant.

10ni uyo nkaakhulha, “Irusho cho uchuwelha chittu cho Imwene ya Nlhuku nvahiye mwaattiva, nansho attu akina yayo anohalha uchuwelha wo malhikaaniho, vano anooweha nansho khanoona, anowiiwa nansho khanowa aachuwelha.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“Maana o nlhikaaniho nno phi wiira, imbeyu phi nlhove na Nlhuku.Now this is the meaning of the parable: The seed is the word of God.

12Imbeyu chaamonre vaphironi chinooniha attu aneewa, nansho Nakare noowa ni ukusha nttenga uyo mmamirimani mwaya wo waachiichiha wiira ahirumelhelhe ni woopolhiya.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.

13Imbeyu chaamonre vamwalhani chinooniha attu aneewa nttenga ni upochera ateelhiyaka munrimani. Nansho khachinkhalha ni mithithaari nhina mwaya, anorumelhelha wo ikatema ikani, ni ulhikachiya wawaakaru anowulhuwa.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.

14Imbeyu chaamonre vamiiwani chinokhalha phi attu onkhaye aneewa, nansho nipampa ni nikakata ninowaakelha ni waatiyelhelha wiira ahiyare.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.

15Imbeyu chaamorenlhe vachaayirani chinooniha attu aneewa nttenga ni upochera wo nrima worera, ni ayo khuvilhelhaka mpaka vanoyara aya maphepu oombone.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“Attu khanoparihelha ikhandiri ni ukhuneelha ittutu ama weesha nkhwikwichiri. Nansho anothomia vachulhu ikiango, wiira attu yoone nthuko aya uyo amwalheelhiye.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.

17“Ittu iriyoothe ivithiye inowa yaawiihiya voonene, ni ittu iriyoothe ikhuneelhiye inowa yaapatakulhiya ni uwiihiya voonene.For there is nothing hidden that will not be disclosed, and nothing concealed that will not be made known and brought to light.

18“Nhiittialhe, mmweheke rata chittu chineewa inyu chiyo, ukhalhawaya attu ari ni ittu anowunchereriya, nansho attu ahirina ittu, ata ikani anaanyihera aya wiira ahanaa iyo inookushiya.”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.”

19Vavawo anumwanawe Yesu vamoka ni ashihima awe nkayaawa, nansho ahoochelha umwaatameria wo nlhatu no uchara attu.Then Jesus’ mother and brothers came to see Him, but they were unable to reach Him because of the crowd.

20Ntu mmoka nkaamwirelha Yesu, “Anumwaninyu ni ashihima inyu arii vathe vawo anothanana uwoonani.”He was told, “Your mother and brothers are standing outside, wanting to see You.”

21Yesu nkeera, “Anumwanaka ni ashilhoko aka ari phi attu onkhaye aneewelhelha malhove a Nlhuku ni uvarechesha.”But He replied, “My mother and brothers are those who hear the word of God and carry it out.”

22Nihuku nimoka Yesu ahowelha nkalhavani owiittucha awe nkayanttwara, nkeerelha, “Nngwee nilhapuwe nttiya nirwee ukhopelhelhe.” Paahi etu nkwaha nkawaachokholha.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.

23Mphironi, Yesu ahowolhiya ikhove nkaarupa. Vahipinche, iphioo yo machiri nkayaawuka munttiyani, ikalhava nkayaachokholha uchara maashi, ni attu onkhaye yaari ntatakoni.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.

24Owiittucha nkayanrwelha ummushani, yeeraka, “Owiittuchiha, Owiittuchiha! Niri ntatakoni!” Yesu nkonkwa ni umaalhiha iphioo ni iyo nkayaamaalha, nttiya nkanaakhalha shiriri.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.

25Nkaakoha owiittucha, “Uri vayi nrima inyu?” Nansho yaari anoomiye uwanoni yoovachaka, yeerelhanaka ashineneru, “Phi ntu ani yolha? Nochachera iphioo ni mawimbi wiira chimaalhe, ni chiyo chinomwiiwelhelha!”“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!”

26Yesu ni owiittucha awe nkayaaphiya iwani yo Ugerasi, inowehana ni nttiya no Ugalilaya.Then they sailed to the region of the Gerasenes, across the lake from Galilee.

27Vaakhuruwa awe umbwaani, nkankumaana ntu mmoka o mashoka o unanara. Wo iyaakha chinchi, yoyo ntu uyo aari eetaka wo uhiwara ikuwo hikhalhaka uwani, alhokelhaka umahiyeni.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.

28Vaamwonne awe Yesu, nkaakhuwelha, eewulhushaka vamietoni vawe, ni ukhuwelhacha, “Yesu, Mwaana a Nlhuku Mulhupalhe Chinene! Unothanani uwannyaka? Kinoulhepelha wiira, uhikoomolhe!”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!”

29olhumacha chiicho ukhalhawaya Yesu ahoolhumacha nlhove no ulhehera uthama nshoka nno. Ni nenno nshoka nno naari nimmaraka ikatema chinchi, ata vaattukiya awe mittondoro wiira heetakache aari akwatulhachaka, attawihiyaka ni nshoka no unanara nno wiithuphini.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.

30Yesu nkankoha, “Nchina ninyu apani?” Nkaakhulha, “Nchina naka ‘Nlhoko,’ ” ukhalhawaya mashoka enchi aari anankenlhe.“What is your name?” Jesus asked. “Legion,” he replied, because many demons had gone into him.

31Mashoka nkayanlhepelha Yesu wiira, hilhehere wiira oomolhelhiye unaminepa unohalha aya utwarushiya.And the demons kept begging Jesus not to order them to go into the Abyss.

32Vavawo vakittu vawo vaari vahuwiyaka ikulhuwe, chilhiachaka umwakoni. Paahi mashoka nkayanlhepelha Yesu wiira aahiye akelhe nkulhuweni, ni uyo nkaahiyerera.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.

33Mashoka nkayankhuma ntu ulhe ni ukhelha nkulhuweni. Mphingo wonkhaye wo ikulhuwe nkawaattawelha vathi uhito ni ukelha chititimiraka mmaashini.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.

34Attu yaahuwacha ikulhuwe ayo nkayaattawacha, vonne aya ittu ikhumelhenlhe, ni urwaa uwanelhihani mwaha uyo mmawani ni mmamatani mwonkhaye.When those tending the pigs saw what had happened, they ran off and reported this in the town and countryside.

35Attu nkayaawa yoone chikhumelhenlhe. Vaaphilhe aya wa Yesu, nkayamphwanya ntu aakumihiye mashoka nakhanlhe vamietoni va Yesu, nawanre ikuwo ni irusho chinankhanlhe rata mmuruni, attu onkhaye nkayoovacha.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.

36Alhe yonne, nkayaahimiachera akhunanaya chinre awe wo ulhamihiya mashoka wa ntu ulhe.Meanwhile, those who had seen it reported how the demon-possessed man had been healed.

37Attu o iwani yo Ugerasi ayo nkayoovacha chinene. Nkayanlhepelha Yesu wiira athame. Paahi etu nkaawelha ikalhava nkaathama.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.

38Ntu aalhamihiye mashoka ulhe ahonlhepelha Yesu wiira, “Ni mii nkittukane.” Nansho Yesu nkankhotelha, amwiirelhaka,The man whom the demons had left begged to go with Jesus. But He sent him away, saying,

39“Nhokolhieke uwani mwahimieke chipangelhiye inyu ni Nlhuku.” Ntu uyo nkaavira mmawani ahimiachaka chinre awe wo upangelhiya ni Yesu.“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.

40Yesu vaahokolhelhe awe ukhopelhelhe nttiya, attu yahompochera, ukhalhawaya yaari ammwehereraka.When Jesus returned, the crowd welcomed Him, for they had all been waiting for Him.

41Paahi ntu eehaniya Yairo nkaawa, aari nholhelhi neemelhelha inupa yo unlhapelha Nlhuku. Nkeewulhusha makukhu ammekelhaka Yesu wiira arwee uwannyawe,Just then a synagogue leader named Jairus came and fell at Jesus’ feet. He begged Him to come to his house,

42ukhalhawaya mwaamwanaya o vekhawe, mwamwalhi o malhipa o iyaakha khumi ni pilhi aari nnookhwani. Yesu vaari awe arwaaka, attu yaari anthothokelhaka uno ni uno.because his only daughter, who was about twelve, was dying. As Jesus went with him, the crowds pressed around Him,

43Mmoka aya aari opani amoka aawereiya ireta yo ukhuma iphome, nchorochoro wo iyaakha khumi ni pilhi, amalhihaka nhakhu aya uvira mmireteni, nansho ahilhamaka.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.

44Nkayanttwara Yesu utulhi, nkayaavara ikuwo awe, iphome nkayaamaalha vavawo vavawo.She came up behind Jesus and touched the fringe of His cloak, and immediately her bleeding stopped.

45Yesu nkaakoha, “Apani akivanre?” Kila ntu nkaakhota, ni Napeturo nkayeera, “Owiittuchiha, attu ahourukureriani uno ni uno!”“Who touched Me?” Jesus asked. But they all denied it. “Master,” said Peter, “the people are crowding and pressing against You.”

46Nansho Yesu nkeera, “Hawo ntu kivanre, kihochuwelha ukhalhawaya machiri ahokikhuma.”But Jesus declared, “Someone touched Me, for I know that power has gone out from Me.”

47Opani alhe vonne aya wiira khanooria wiivitha, nkayeewiha uno athukhumelhaka ni wiiwulhusha vamietoni va Yesu. Nkayeehimiacha vaattuni vawo, ahimiachaka nlhatu waani wo uvara mwiinjiro ni chinre aya wo ulhama ikwerere aya.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.

48Yesu nkeera, “Mwaamwanaka, nrima ao uhoolhamiha. Urweeke wo mpuha.”“Daughter,” said Jesus, “your faith has healed you. Go in peace.”

49Yesu voolhumacha awe chiicho, karumiya aya o weemelhelha inupa yo unlhapelha Nlhuku nkaawa, nkeerelha, “Mwamwalhi inyu hokhwa, nhaahuvihe tho Owiittuchiha ayo.”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.”

50Nansho Yesu nkeewa, nkeerelha Nayairo, “Nhoove, mpisheke nrima, noolhama.”But Jesus overheard them and said to Jairus, “Do not be afraid; just believe, and she will be healed.”

51Vaaphilhe aya vanupani, nkaachiichiha ntu unkelhana mpaani ahikhalhe Napeturo ni Nayohana ni Nayakhobo ni manyanaangoro o mwalhi uyo.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.

52Kila ntu vavawo aari onlhaka umunlhelha mwalhi uyo. Yesu nkeera, “Umaalhiye uhuunlhiye. Mwalhi ulha kanakhwa, howiraka urupa!”Meanwhile, everyone was weeping and mourning for her. But Jesus said, “Stop weeping; she is not dead but asleep.”

53Attu onkhaye nkayanthiacha, ukhalhawaya yaari achuwelhaka wiira hokhwa.And they laughed at Him, knowing that she was dead.

54Nansho Yesu nkammara moono nkeera, “Mwalhi, wunkweke!”But Jesus took her by the hand and called out, “Child, get up!”

55Nrima awe nkawanhokolhelha, nkonkwa, Yesu nkaalhehera wiira avahiye yolhia.Her spirit returned, and at once she got up. And He directed that she be given something to eat.

56Manyanaangoro awe yaari anashannge, nansho Yesu nkaalhehera wiira ahinhimerie ntu riyoothe mwaha ukhumelhenlhe.Her parents were astounded, but Jesus ordered them not to tell anyone what had happened.
