Luke 8 (SBS) · Opened

1Iva pangahali kavaka zana Jesu hatanga kuyenda mumileneni ni mizi, kukutaza ni kuwamba makande malotu kuamana ni mubuso wa Ireza. Ba cita ikumi nibobele babakwina naye,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,

2hamwina ni banakazi vava honzi kwi huho imbilala ni matuku; Mariya yava kusumpwa Magadalena, kozo madimona akwana iyanza nitobele abazwiswa;as well as some women who had been healed of evil spirits and infirmities: Mary called Magdalene, from whom seven demons had gone out,

3Johana, mwihyabwe wa Chuza, Muyendisi wa Heroda; Susana, ni bamwi vangi vulyo, camazimo, kuya chezo zivavali kusaka.Joanna the wife of Herod’s household manager Chuza, Susanna, and many others. These women were ministering to them out of their own means.

4Yaho chizi chikando chiva kwete kukopana hamwina, mi vantu vavali kukeza kwali kuzwa mwitoropo ni toropo, ca wamba inguli:While a large crowd was gathering and people were coming to Jesus from town after town, He told them this parable:

5“Mulimi abayendi hanze kukavyala imbuto. Haba kubyala, zimwi ziba wili mumungwangwa mi ziba lyatwa hansi, ni zizuni ze wulu ziba mani kuzilya.“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.

6Zimwi ziba wili mumabwe, linu haci zikula, ciza nyana, kakuti sekazina mezi.Some fell on rocky ground, and when it came up, the seedlings withered because they had no moisture.

7Mi zimwi ziva wili mukati ke miya, mi ciza kulilila hamwina ni ntanga ciza nyana ni kuzihwezola.Other seed fell among thorns, which grew up with it and choked the seedlings.

8Kono zimwi ziba wili mwibu lyindotu miciyaleta imbuto amana ikumi mane chovungi. “Jesu hachamana kuwamba izi zintu, chasumpa, “Yense wina matwi azuwa, mumusiye azuwe.”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.”

9Varutwana bakwe ciba mubuza intaluso ye nguli.Then His disciples asked Him what this parable meant.

10Cawamba, “Inzivo ye nkunutu za mubuso wa Ireza zibahewa kwenu, kono kubamwi ni wamba ce nguli, njokuta kuti kubona kanzi baboni, niku zuwa kanzi ba zuwisisi.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 iyi ngi ntaluso ye nguli: Imbuto linzwi lye Ireza.Now this is the meaning of the parable: The seed is the word of God.

12Ina iba wili mwinzila njabana babazuwi, kono dyabulusi wiza kuhinda linzwi mwinkulo zabo, njokuta kuti kanzi bazumini ni ku hazwa.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.

13Mi yo mumabwe njabana, bazuwa linzwi nikuli amuhela che ntabo. Kono kabena mihisi; bazumina kenako zana, mi mwi nako yokulikiwa bawa kuwililila.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.

14Imbuto ina iva wili mumiya bantu bazuwa linzwi, kono chi bayenda mwinzila zabo, banyanyiswa ke mpilayelo ni chifumi ni minyaka yo buhalo, mihe zihantu zavo kazi buzwi.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.

15Kono imbuto ibawili mwibu i lotu, abo njabo, bazuwa kenkulo indotu, balikwata chokuli sileleza mi vavika zicherentu kenkulo inde niku kwatilira.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.

16Linu, kakwina zumwi, yomunika ivoni, ni ku bwika hateni itungu kamba kui vika munsi yo bulalo. kono wibika ha mekalo evoni, ilikuti yense winjila abone seli,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.

17Ka kakwina chiliwungwile cete nici kangwe kwizibeka, mi kakwina chiliwungwile chete ci kane kwizibahala nikwiza mwi seli.For there is nothing hidden that will not be disclosed, and nothing concealed that will not be made known and brought to light.

18Cwale mutekeleze hande, kozo yo wina, zingi kazihewe kwali, kono ya sena, nanga ca hupula kuba nacho kachihindwe kwali.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 banyina ni bance ve chikwame chiva keza kwali, kono kena babezi havumbali bwakwe kebaka lye chizi.Then Jesus’ mother and brothers came to see Him, but they were unable to reach Him because of the crowd.

20Avawambilwa, 'Vanyoko ni bance bako vechi kwame vazimene hanze, balindire kukubona,'He was told, “Your mother and brothers are standing outside, wanting to see You.”

21Kono Jesu chavetava ni kuva cho, 'Bamama ni bance bangu vechikwame njabana bazuwa linzwi lya Ireza nikuli panga.”But He replied, “My mother and brothers are those who hear the word of God and carry it out.”

22Linu izuba limwi abenjili muchisepe niba rutwana bakwe, mi chaco kubali, “tulutire kweyina imwi imbali yo lwinzi.” Chiva tanga kuzuha,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.

23Kono havava kuzuha chaya mwiñonzi. I huho ikando litiza libezi halwizi, mi chisepe chabo ciba kwingila menzi, mi vavena mu vukavu.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.

24Cwale barutwana ba Jesu' chiveza kwali kwiza kumubusa, ni vacho, Simwine! Simwine! chitufwa!” Chabuka niku kalimela luhuho nikubenga kwa menzi mi chikwamana, mi njikwiza ku ntontola.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 chawamba kubali, “Intumelo yenu inahi?” Mi vavali kutite, mwinako se ibatite baba kukomoketwe hape, hape chivatanga kuli buza, “zu cwale njeni, yoha intayelo ku menzi ni ku luhuho, imi zichilila?”“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!”

26Chiba zuhila kuchi kiliti ca Gerasene, ina mwi shirwa lyo lwizi lwa Galileya,Then they sailed to the region of the Gerasenes, across the lake from Galilee.

27Jesu hakalyata herizo, a vakatanwa mukwame zumwi yaba kwina madimona. Ke nako inde kena aba kuzwete zizavalo, mi kena abakwikala mwizubo abakwikala kuma kumbu.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.

28Havona Jesu, chatanga kulila niku wa hansi mi chawamba mumulumo mukando, “usaka kupanganzi name, Jesu, mwana Ireza wina kwiwulu? nikukumbira, kanji uninyandisi.”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!”

29Kaho Jesu ava layili luho lubilala kuzwa mwali. Kaho luba munyandisi kenako inde, nanga aba kusuminwa mahaka ni mihala nikuba mwintokomelo, ava kukosola mahaka niku yendiswa madimona mwinkanda.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.

30Cwale Jesu ca mubuza, “Jeweni inzinza lyako? “chawamba, njime Legiyoni,” kakuti madimona mangi ave njili mwali,“What is your name?” Jesus asked. “Legion,” he replied, because many demons had gone into him.

31Chiya wondelela kumukumbila kuti kanji aya tumini mwintolongo.And the demons kept begging Jesus not to order them to go into the Abyss.

32Hanu mulaka mukanda we zugulube zibakwete kulya ku mbali ni chiwulu. Madimona chiya mukumbila kuti aye muzili, cha a zuminina.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 madimona chi a zwa ku mukwame nikwi ngila muzigulube, mi mulaka chiwa shetumuka kuyenda mulwizi ni kuka mina.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.

34Avo vavakuyendisa zigulube habavona chapangahala, chivatiya ni kukawamba mwintolopo chapangahala ni mukanda.When those tending the pigs saw what had happened, they ran off and reported this in the town and countryside.

35Cwale bantu chiba yenda kukabona chapangahala, Mi hachi veza kwa Jesu ni kwiza kuwana mukwame uzo kuvazwi madimona, wikele kumatende a Jesu, uzwete nikuba mwingana yakwe, mi vava tiyiSo 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 vana vavavoni chiva wambila vantu mukwame yava kunyandiswa madimona mwava hozwa.Meanwhile, those who had seen it reported how the demon-possessed man had been healed.

37Cwale vantu vonse ve ntolopo ya Gerasene chiva kumbila Jesu kuti azwe kubali, kakuti vava tiyite a hulu. Cwale chenjila mu chisepe nikubola.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.

38Mukwame uzo madimona avazwi kwali chakumbila Jesu kuti ayende naye, kono Jesu chamukanina, cacho kwali,The man whom the demons had left begged to go with Jesus. But He sent him away, saying,

39Vole kwinzuvo yako ukawambe kecho Ireza wakupangila. Mukwame chayenda munzila yakwe nakaya buwamba chamupangila 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.

40Hanu Jesu ha kavola, chichava chicha muamuhela, kakuli vonse vavakumulindire.When Jesus returned, the crowd welcomed Him, for they had all been waiting for Him.

41Mulole, mukwame yo supwa Jairasi, yabali zumwi wava yendisi wesinagoge, avakezi ni kwiza kuwila kumatende, a Jesu' ni ku mukumbila kuti ayende kwinzubo yakweJust then a synagogue leader named Jairus came and fell at Jesus’ feet. He begged Him to come to his house,

42kakuli mwanakwe womukazana yenke, wezilimo zekumi nizo bele, chava kufwa. Sina Jesu hava kwina mwinzila, chisi chicha kungana kumuzimbuka.because his only daughter, who was about twelve, was dying. As Jesus went with him, the crowds pressed around Him,

43Linu mukulwakazi kwavali kwina yava kulwala vutuku bwa malaha kezilimo zekumi, miava sinyehelwi masheleñi akwe kuvasiliki, kono kenavaholi kuvali.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.

44Chakeza kumasule a Jesu nikukwata kumangundero e zi zwato zakwe, yahaho kuzwiza kwakwe chikwa mana.She came up behind Jesus and touched the fringe of His cloak, and immediately her bleeding stopped.

45Jesu chawamba, “njeni zuna wani kwata?” Vonse haba sampula, Pitolosi chawamba, “Simwine, chisi ca vantu chikuzimbulukite,“Who touched Me?” Jesus asked. But they all denied it. “Master,” said Peter, “the people are crowding and pressing against You.”

46kono Jesu chawamba, “zumwi wani kwata, kakuti nizi kuti ziho zazwa kwangu.But Jesus declared, “Someone touched Me, for I know that power has gone out from Me.”

47Mukulwakazi habona kuti kasiwoli kuli wungula, cheza nakwete kuchachalika ni kuwila habusu bwakwe. cheza kuliwamba mukati kabantu chinzi cha mukwatira, ni mwavaholeri yahaho.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.

48cho kwali mwanangu we chikazana, intumelo yako yakuhoza, Yende ce nkozo.”“Daughter,” said Jesus, “your faith has healed you. Go in peace.”

49Nasi kwete kuwamba, zumwi yava kukazwa kwinzuha yo muyendisi ya sinagoge, chawamba, “Mwanako we chikazana chafwa. Kanji ukatazi muruti ahulu.”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 hazuwa izo, chetava Jairasi, “kanji utiyi; uzumine fela, mi kahole.”But Jesus overheard them and said to Jairus, “Do not be afraid; just believe, and she will be healed.”

51Hava kezi kwinzuvo, ka kwina yava zumini kwi njila mukati naye, haisi Pitolosi ni Johani ni Jakovo, ni banyina ni vesi bo muhwile.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.

52Linu vonse vavali kulila niku vokolola, kono chawamba, “kanji mulili; kafwile kono ulele fela.”Meanwhile, everyone was weeping and mourning for her. But Jesus said, “Stop weeping; she is not dead but asleep.”

53Kono chiba museka, chokwiziba kuti ufwile.And they laughed at Him, knowing that she was dead.

54Kono cha muhinda kwiyanza ni kusupa, kuwamba, muhwire vuke!”But Jesus took her by the hand and called out, “Child, get up!”

55Luhuho lwakwe chilwa vola, mi chavuka yahaho. Chava laya kuti bamuhe chimwi chokulya.Her spirit returned, and at once she got up. And He directed that she be given something to eat.

56Bashemi bakwe vava komokwa, kono chava laya kuti kanji bawambili muntu chapangahala.Her parents were astounded, but Jesus ordered them not to tell anyone what had happened.
