Luke 8 (SBY) · Opened

1Kufumapo Yesu walendana muminshi, kaya kukambauka Mulumbe Waina wa Bwami bwa Lesa, walikuba ne beshikwiya bali likumi ne babili.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,

2Ne batukashi nabamb balafunyiwa mishimu yaipa ne malwashi, Maliya waku Magadala uyo walikukute mishimu yaipa isanu ne ibilias well as some women who had been healed of evil spirits and infirmities: Mary called Magdalene, from whom seven demons had gone out,

3Yowana mukashi wa Kuza uyo walikuba kapitawo wa Helode, Susana, kayi ne nabambi bangi balikunyamfwilisha Yesu ne beshikwiya bakendi kusebensesha mali abo.Joanna the wife of Herod’s household manager Chuza, Susanna, and many others. These women were ministering to them out of their own means.

4Bantu bangi balabungana kwalikuba Yesu kufuma muminshi. Lino nendi walabapa mukoshanyo eti,While a large crowd was gathering and people were coming to Jesus from town after town, He told them this parable:

5“Kwalikuba muntu umbi walaya akumwaya imbuto. Lino mpwalikumwaya, shimbi imbuto shalalakila munshila shalalyataulwa, bikeni byalashilya.“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.

6Shimbi mbuto shalalakila pabulongo bwamabwe. Mposhalamena, misonga yalatatika kuyuma pakwinga kwalabula katonto mubulongo,Some fell on rocky ground, and when it came up, the seedlings withered because they had no moisture.

7Shimbi imbuto shalalakila patufukusa twa myunga, lino tufukusa pakukula twalatatika kushantilila.Other seed fell among thorns, which grew up with it and choked the seedlings.

8Nomba shimbi imbuto shalalakila pabulongo bwaina. Shalakula ne kwikata myanda myanda.” Lino Yesu walamba ne liswi lyapelu kwambeti, “uyo ukute matwi, anyumfwe!”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.”

9Beshikwiya bakendi balamwipusha pabupandulwishi bwa mukoshanyo uwu.Then His disciples asked Him what this parable meant.

10Yesu walakumbuleti, “Amwe mwalapewa kwinshiba bintu byasolama bya Bwami bwa Lesa. Nsombi bambi bakute kunyumfwa bambilwa mumikoshanyo ekwambeti, ‘balangishishe, nomba babule kubona’ Kayi ‘Bakutike, nsombi batanyumfwishisha.’”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.’

11Kupandulula kwa mukoshanyo wa mbuto ni uku, imbuto ni Maswi a Lesa.Now this is the meaning of the parable: The seed is the word of God.

12Isho imbuto shalalakila munshila shakoshana ne bantu beshi kunyumfwa Maswi a Lesa, nomba pacindi cing'ana, Satana ukute kwafunya mumyoyo yabo kwambeti babule kushoma ne kupuluka.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.

13Isho imbuto shalalakila pabulongo bwa mabwe shakoshana ne bantu abo balanyumfunga Maswi a Lesa ne kwatambula cakusangalala sombi pakwinga baliya miyanda yashimpa bakute kushoma kwa kacindi kang'ana neco na balasunkwa bakute kuwa.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.

14Isho imbuto shalalakila pamyunga shakoshana ne bantu beshi kunyumfwa Maswi a Lesa, nomba miyeyo yakuyanda bubile ne byeshikukondwelesha bikute kubakoma, neco nkabekata bisepo byakoma,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.

15Nsombi isho shalalakila mubulongo bwaina, shakosna ne bantu beshi kunyumfwa Maswi a Lesa, ne kwaikata ne kushoma mumyoyo yabo yaina, neco bakute kulimbikila mpaka kwikata bisepo.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“Kuliya muntu welela kumunika lampi ne kulifwekelela ne nongo nambi kubika mwinshi lyatebulu. Nsombi ukute ubika pelu kwambeti limunikile abo beti bengile mung'anda.”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“Pakwinga kuliya cintu casolama ceti cikabule kuyubulululwa patuba, kayi cintu ciliconse casolekwa ni cikabonekele patuba.For there is nothing hidden that will not be disclosed, and nothing concealed that will not be made known and brought to light.

18“Neco kamucenjelani mbuli ncomukute kunyufwa Maswi a Lesa. Pakwinga uyo ukute kendi nakabikilwepo, nsombi uyo wabula kantu nibakamulamune konse nkakute.”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.”

19Lino banyina Yesu ne bamakwabo balashika nkwalikuba, lino baliya kucikonsha kushika pepi nendiye pacebo cakwambeti bantu balikuba bangi.Then Jesus’ mother and brothers came to see Him, but they were unable to reach Him because of the crowd.

20Lino muntu naumbi walambila Yesu eti, “Bamanyenu ne bakwenu bemana pansa, balandanga kumubona.”He was told, “Your mother and brothers are standing outside, wanting to see You.”

21Nendi Yesu walabambileti, “Bama ne bakwetu niyabo beshi kunyumfwa Maswi a Lesa nekwinsa ncalambanga.”But He replied, “My mother and brothers are those who hear the word of God and carry it out.”

22Busuba nabumbi Yesu ne beshikwiya bakendi balengila mubwato, Yesu walambeti, “Katutampukilani kutala kwa lwenje kusa.” Popelapo balanyamuka.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.

23Lino bwato mpobwalikuya, Yesu walona. Kwalesa cilukupwe cinene pamenshi. Bwato bwalatatika kwisula ne menshi kabuyanda pepi nekwibila.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.

24Kufumapo beshikwiya balaya kuli Yesu ne kumwambileti, “Mwami, Mwami, kamupundukani tulafu!” Lino Yesu walapunduka walakalalila lukupwe ne mankape alamwena tontoThe 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.

25Lino Yesu walambila beshikwiya bakendi eti, “Nomba lushomo lwenu lulikupeyo?” Nabo balatina nekupwilwa mano nkabepushanyeti, “Nomba uyu nimuntu uli econi lambilinga lukupwe nalo lulamunyumfwilinga?”“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!”

26Balo balashika kucishi ca Gelasa calangana ne cishi ca Galileya.Then they sailed to the region of the Gerasenes, across the lake from Galilee.

27Yesu mpwalafuma mubwato walakumanya, mutuloba naumbi walafuma mumunshi. Mutuloba usa walikukute mishimu yaipa. Lingi walikwenda matakosha, nkalikwikala pa ng'anda nsombi mumaceni akumanda.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.

28Mpwalamubona Yesu, walolobesha ne kufukama kuntangu ne kwamba ne liswi lya pelu eti, “Nomba ndamwinshi cani amwe Yesu mwanendi Lesa wakwilu wapitapo? Ndamusengenga mutampesha.”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!”

29Walambeco pakwinga Yesu walambila mushimu waipa eti ufumemo muli endiye. Mankanda angi mushimu wamwikata, nambi bantu bamusunga makasa ne ncetani kayi ne nshimbi kumyendo eti bamululamike, wali kasutula. Lino mishimu yaipa yalikumutwala ku cisuwa.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.

30Lino Yesu wamwipusheti, “Njobe bani?” Neye walakumbuleti, “Njame likoto” Walambeco pakwinga walikukute mishimu yaipa ingi.“What is your name?” Jesus asked. “Legion,” he replied, because many demons had gone into him.

31Lino popelapo mishimu yaipa iyo yalamupapata Yesu eti ataitandanyina kucisengu citali.And the demons kept begging Jesus not to order them to go into the Abyss.

32Lino mwinshi mwa mulundu mwalikuba litanga linene lya nkumba lyali kalilya. lino mishimu yaipa isa yalasenga Yesu eti yenga ingile munkumba isho, neye walaisuminisha.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.

33Lino yalafumamo mumutuloba usa ne kwingila munkumba, Lino litanga lyonse lyalaselemukila kumukolo lubilo kuya kulwenje nekuya kuliwalamo nekufwilamo.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.

34Beshikwembela nkumba mpobalaboneco, balaya akwambila bantu balikwikala mumusena kayi ne muminshi calenshika.When those tending the pigs saw what had happened, they ran off and reported this in the town and countryside.

35Neco bantu balesa akubona calenshika. Mpobalashika kwalikuba Yesu, balacana muntu walafunyiwa mishimu yaipa wekala pepi ne Yesu kaliwafwala, mano kali akwana cena. Lino bantu balatina.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.

36Bantu balabona byalenshika balambila bantu mbuli ncalaba cena muntu uyo walikuba ne mishimu yaipa.Meanwhile, those who had seen it reported how the demon-possessed man had been healed.

37Lino bantu bonse balikwikala mucishi ca Gelasa balapapatila Yesu eti afumemo mucishi cabo pacebo cakwambeti balatina. Kufumapo walengila mubwato kwambeti abweleleThen 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.

38Lino mutuloba uyo walafunyiwa mishimu yaipa walasenga Yesu eti benga bonse, linoYesu walamukanisha ne kumwambileti,The man whom the demons had left begged to go with Jesus. But He sent him away, saying,

39“Bwelela kucomwenu uye wambe bintu byonse Lesa mbyalakwinshili. Popelapo muntu usa walaya mumunshi wonse kaya kwamba sha bintu Yesu mbyalamwinshila.”“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.

40Lino Yesu mpwalabwelela kulubasu lumbi lwa lwenje bantu bangi balamutambula, balikuba bakondwa pakwinga bonse bali kaba mupembelela.When Jesus returned, the crowd welcomed Him, for they had all been waiting for Him.

41Lino kwalesa muntu wali kukwiweti Yailo uyo wali kutangunina ng'anda yakupaililamo walesa kusuntama kuntangu kwa Yesu ne kumusengeti ayenga kung'anda yakendi.Just then a synagogue leader named Jairus came and fell at Jesus’ feet. He begged Him to come to his house,

42pakwinga mwanendi mutukashi wa myaka likumi ne ibili mwana umowa, ngwalikukute wali kakolwa cakwambeti ngofwa. Yesu mpwalikuya, bantu bangi balamushankanya.because his only daughter, who was about twelve, was dying. As Jesus went with him, the crowds pressed around Him,

43Palikuba mutukashi naumbi walikukolwa bulwashi bwa mukunko kwa byaka likumi ne bibili. Walapwisha buboni bwakendi bonse mubang'anga, nsombi kuliya muntu nambi umo walakonsha kumusengula.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.

44Mutukashi uyo walesa kunyuma kwa Yesu pabantu bangi balikuba bamushinguluka nekwikata kucelele kwamunganjo wakendi, popelapo bulwashi bwamukunko bwalapwa.She came up behind Jesus and touched the fringe of His cloak, and immediately her bleeding stopped.

45Neco Yesu walepusheti, “Niyani lanjikata ku munganjo?” Bonse bantu balakana eti paliyawa. Petulo walambeti, “Kufula bantu balamukumyunga kayi bantu balamushankanyanga.”“Who touched Me?” Jesus asked. But they all denied it. “Master,” said Peter, “the people are crowding and pressing against You.”

46Lino Yesu walambeti, “Nkwali muntu naumbi lanjikata kumunganjo, pakwinga ndanyumfu ngofu shimbi shilafumumo mulinjame.”But Jesus declared, “Someone touched Me, for I know that power has gone out from Me.”

47Lino mutukashi usa mpwalaboneti nkela kusolamapo walalitwala kuli Yesu nkatutuma walawa kuntangu kwakendi Yesu. Ne kwamba byonse pamenso a bantu kabanyumfwa mbuli ncalamwikata kumunganjo ne kuba cena pacindi copeleco.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 walamwambileti, “Mwaname, pakwinga washoma njame, koya mulumuno.”“Daughter,” said Jesus, “your faith has healed you. Go in peace.”

49Yesu kacamba kwalesa muntu kufuma ku ng'anda ya mukulene wa ng'anda yakupaililamo ne kumwambila Yailo eti, “Mwanenu lafu kendi, mutapensha beshikwiyisha.”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.”

50Yesu mpwalanyumfwa makani ayo walambila Yailo eti, “Utatina, koshoma, mwanobe nabe cena.”But Jesus overheard them and said to Jairus, “Do not be afraid; just believe, and she will be healed.”

51Yesu mpwalashika kung'anda ya Yailo liya kusuminisha muntu nambi umo eti engilemo, nsombi Petulo, Yohane, ne Jemusi kayi ne baishi nebanyina ba mwana.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.

52Bantu bonse mung'anda bali kabalila mwana mutukashi walikuba wafwa. Necikabeco Yesu walabambileti, “Kamucilekani kulila pakwinga uyu mwana nkafwapo, wonowa tulo.”Meanwhile, everyone was weeping and mourning for her. But Jesus said, “Stop weeping; she is not dead but asleep.”

53Popelapo bonse balamuwela, pakwinga bonse balikwi shibeti lafu kendi.And they laughed at Him, knowing that she was dead.

54Lino Yesu walekata mwana uyo pacikasa nekwambeti, “Mwana obe punduka!”But Jesus took her by the hand and called out, “Child, get up!”

55Popelapo walaba muyumi, walanyamuka. Lino Yesu walabambileti bamupe cakulya mwana alye.Her spirit returned, and at once she got up. And He directed that she be given something to eat.

56Baishi ne banyina ba mwana uyo balakankamana. Lino Yesu walabambileti kamutaya kwambila muntu uliyense pamakani aya alenshiki.Her parents were astounded, but Jesus ordered them not to tell anyone what had happened.
