Luke 8 (SHR) · Opened

1Kwanacibà kandi erhi adwîrhe ageragera omu ngo n’omu bishagala, ayish’ahanûla anayigîriza Emyanzi Minjà y’Obwâmi bwa Nyamuzinda; na balya Ikumi-na-babiri erhi bamukulikîre,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,

2haguma n’abakazi afumagya abashetani babî n’endwâla: Mariya Magadalena, owarhenzibagwamwo bashetani nda;as well as some women who had been healed of evil spirits and infirmities: Mary called Magdalene, from whom seven demons had gone out,

3Yowana mukà Kuza, murhambo wa Herodi; Suzana, na bandi banji bakâg’ibarhabâla n’ebirugu byâbo.Joanna the wife of Herod’s household manager Chuza, Susanna, and many others. These women were ministering to them out of their own means.

4Erhi engabo nyinji y’abantu ecilundumana n’erhi abakâg’ihubuka omu bishagala byoshi bamushimba, anacibatwa ogu mugani, erhi:While a large crowd was gathering and people were coming to Jesus from town after town, He told them this parable:

5«Omuhinzi anacihuluka mpu aj’imîra emburho zâge. N’erhi abà akola adwîrhe amîra, mburho nguma zarhogera eburhambi bw’enjira; zalabarhwa, n’orhunyunyi rhw’emalunga rhwacîlirazo.“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.

6Ezindi zarhogera omu lukarabuye; erhi zimera, zaciyumira erhi kubula mîshi kurhuma,Some fell on rocky ground, and when it came up, the seedlings withered because they had no moisture.

7Ezindi zarhogera omu mishûgi; erhi emishûgi emera haguma nazo, yazihuhya.Other seed fell among thorns, which grew up with it and choked the seedlings.

8Ezindi zarhogera omu budaka bwinjà; zamera zanaburha ngasi nguma igana». Erhi abà adwîrhe aderha ntyo, anaciyâkûza, erhi: «Ogwêrhe amarhwîri g’okuyumva, ayumve!»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.”

9Abaganda bâge bamudôsa ogwo mugani kwo kuderha kuci.Then His disciples asked Him what this parable meant.

10Anacibabwîra, erhi: «Mwêhe mwahirwe okumanya amahwe gw’Obwâmi bwa Nyamuzinda; ci abandi bakaz’ibwîrwa omu migani, lyo bakalola barhanabone, bakanayumvirhiza barhanayumve».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«Ogwo mugani gw’ogu: “Emburho lwo Luderho lwa Nyamuzinda”.Now this is the meaning of the parable: The seed is the word of God.

12“Abâli eburhambi bw’enjira, bo balya bayumvîrhe; okubundi shetani ayisha, arhwêrûla lulya Luderho, omu mirhima yâbo, mpu lyo balek’iyôkoka bakayêmêra”.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.

13“Nabo ab’omu lukalabuye, bo balya bayumva Oluderho, baluyankirire banasîmire; ci erhi ntà mizî bagwêrhe”: “babà bantu bayêmêra kasanzi, n’amango g’amashumi, banacîyegûla”.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.

14“Ezarhogeraga omu mishûgi, bo balya bayumvîrhe; erhi bacigenda, ebihamba, obuhirhi n’amasîma g’eby’en’igulu byabahuhya, barhanacibonaga oku bayânakwo amalehe”.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.

15“Nazo ezarhogeraga, omu budaka bwinjà, bo balya bayumvîrhe Oluderho n’omurhima nkana na mwinjà, balushîbirira, banayerakwo amalehe omu bushibirizi bwâbo”».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«Ntâye oyâkiza akamole okukafulika, nîsi erhi okukahira omu nterulè, ci emugamba kamanikwa, lyo abajà omu nyumpa babona obulangale.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“Bulya ntâco cifulisirwe cirhakafulûlwa, na nt’ihwe lirhakarhulika n’okumanyîkana na boshi”.For there is nothing hidden that will not be disclosed, and nothing concealed that will not be made known and brought to light.

18“Kuziga murhege amarhwîri oku ebi muyumva! Bulya ogwêrhe ye wâhâbwe, naye orhagwêrhi, ciru n’ehi acîkubagîre mpu agwêrhe, âhinyagwa”».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.”

19Nnina na bene wâbo banaciyisha emunda ali, ci babula oku bamuhika kwo erhi ngabo erhuma.Then Jesus’ mother and brothers came to see Him, but they were unable to reach Him because of the crowd.

20Bamubwîra, mpu: «Nyoko na bene winyu abo bali embuga bakulonza».He was told, “Your mother and brothers are standing outside, wanting to see You.”

21Naye anacibashuza, erhi: «Nyâmà na bene wîrhu bo ngasi bayumva ecinwa ca Nyamuzinda n’okucîjira».But He replied, “My mother and brothers are those who hear the word of God and carry it out.”

22Byanacibà ntyo! Lusiku luguma anacijà omu bwârho bo n’abaganda bâge, ababwîra, erhi: «Rhuyikirire ishiriza». Banacisokera emuhengere.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.

23N’erhi babà badwîrhe bavugama, ahunga. Empûsi yanacizûka, yatula omulaba omu nyanja; obwârho bwayunjula mîshi, babona bakola bali omu kaga.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.

24Banacimujaho, bamutula, mpu: «Mâshi Muyigîriza, kufà kuno!» Anacizûka, akalihira empûsi n’ebivumba by’omulaba; byahulika, n’omurhûla gwabà.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.

25Okuhandi ababwîra, erhi: «Ngahi obuyêmêre bwinyu buli?» Banacigeramwo omusisi, banarhangâla; balolanakwo bône na nnene, mpu: «Lêro ye ndi oyu? Ci yêhe adwîrhe arhegeka empûsi n’enyanja, binamuyumve!»“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!”

26Banaciyikirira omu cihugo e'Abajerazeni, ishiriza ly’e Galileya.Then they sailed to the region of the Gerasenes, across the lake from Galilee.

27Oku anayômoka oku cikwî, tundu oku muntu w’eco cishagala wàlimwo bashetani. Kurhenga mîra, arhaciyambalaga, arhanacilalaga omu nyumpa, ci omu byûsho.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.

28Erhi abona Yezu, ayâma, acîrhimba aha magulu gâge, aderha n’izù linene, erhi: «Bici rhufânwa nâwe, Yezu Mwene-Nyamuzinda w’Enyanya? Orhandibuzagya, mâshi we okonkwa!»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!”

29Yezu erhi adwîrhe arhegeka oyo shetani mpu arhengemwo oyo muntu. Bulya kanji oyo shetani ali amuzimuhire; bakàmulanga mushwêke n’enyogi n’emigozi; kurharhumaga arhakatwa emigozi, n’olya shetani akamukuruhana erubala.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.

30Yezu amudôsa, erhi: «We ndi izîno lyâwe?» Naye ashuza, erhi: «Murhwe», bulya alimwo bashetani banji.“What is your name?” Jesus asked. “Legion,” he replied, because many demons had gone into him.

31Banacimuhûna mpu arhabarhegekaga bajè omu kuzimu.And the demons kept begging Jesus not to order them to go into the Abyss.

32Aho hàli obusò bunene bw’engulube, erhi ziyabusire oku ntondo. Balya bashetani bamuhûna mpu abayêmêrere babè zo bajamwo. Anacibayêmêrera.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.

33Obwo balya bashetani banacirhengamwo olya muntu, bajà omu ngulube; obusò bwahona oku manga, bwagend’iciloha omu nyanja, bwanacizika.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.

34Abangere erhi babona oku byabîre, bakûla omulindi, baj’ishwâlîza ogwo mwanzi omu cishagala n’omu ndimiro.When those tending the pigs saw what had happened, they ran off and reported this in the town and countryside.

35Abantu banacishagamuka mpu baj’ilola oku byabîre. Erhi bahika hali Yezu, bashimâna olya abashetani barhengagamwo atamîre aha magulu ga Yezu, akola ayambîrhe anagwêrhe obukengêre bwâge; bayôboha.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.

36Ababonaga oku byâbà, babarhondêreza oku oyo muntu wàlimwo bashetani afumaga.Meanwhile, those who had seen it reported how the demon-possessed man had been healed.

37Okubundi olubaga lwoshi lw’ecihugo c’Abajerazeni lwayinginga Yezu mpu abarhenger’eka, bulya bâli bayôbohire bwenêne. Naye anacishonera omu bwârho, acîgalukira.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.

38Olya muntu wàlimwo abashetani amusengera mpu abêre bo naye; ci Yezu amusêzera anamubwîra, erhi:The man whom the demons had left begged to go with Jesus. But He sent him away, saying,

39«Shubira emwinyu, ogend’iganîra ngasi byoshi Nnâmahanga akujirîre». Anacihira njira, aj’alumîza omu cishagala coshi ngasi kwoshi Yezu amujirîre.“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.

40Erhi Yezu agaluka, olubaga lwamuyankirira, bulya bakâg’imulinga boshi.When Jesus returned, the crowd welcomed Him, for they had all been waiting for Him.

41Hanaciyisha omuntu, mpu ye Yayiri, wali mukulu w’esinagogi. Anacicîrhimba aha magulu ga Yezu, amushenga mpu ajè emwâge;Just then a synagogue leader named Jairus came and fell at Jesus’ feet. He begged Him to come to his house,

42Bulya ali agwêrhe omwâna w’obunyere wa cûsha, wa myâka ikumi n’ibiri muburhe, erhi anali bufà. Erhi akola ayijà, olubaga lunji lw’abantu lwàli lumukulikîre lwamugorha.because his only daughter, who was about twelve, was dying. As Jesus went with him, the crowds pressed around Him,

43Lêro omukazi walwâlaga omududu kurhenga myâka ikumi n’ibiri, erhi abafumu bamuyûsize ebintu na ntâye wamufumize,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.

44amuyisha nyuma, amuhuma oku mukubo gw’ecishûli, na ho na halya ecirhambo câge cahuba.She came up behind Jesus and touched the fringe of His cloak, and immediately her bleeding stopped.

45Yezu anacidôsa, erhi: «Ndi ompumirekwo?» Boshi erhi bahakana, lêro Petro n’abâbo bamubwîra, mpu: «Muyigîriza, ngabo y’abantu eyo ekulundumînekwo enakugosire».“Who touched Me?” Jesus asked. But they all denied it. “Master,” said Peter, “the people are crowding and pressing against You.”

46Yezu, erhi: «Omuntu ampumirekwo, bulya nayumvîrhe obuzibu bwantengamwo».But Jesus declared, “Someone touched Me, for I know that power has gone out from Me.”

47Olya mukazi erhi abona agwâsirwe, anaciyisha, aj’ageramwo omusisi, acîrhimba aha magulu gâge, acîshobeka embere z’abantu boshi, ababwîra ecarhumaga amuhumakwo n’oku afumiraga oku liguma.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.

48Anacimubwîra, erhi: «Mwâna wâni, obuyêmêre bwâwe bukufumize; ocîgendere n’obuholo».“Daughter,” said Jesus, “your faith has healed you. Go in peace.”

49Oku acidwîrhe aderha, muntu muguma wahubukaga emwâge ayish’ibwîra omukulu w’esinagogi, erhi: «Mwâli wâwe amârhengamwo omûka; orhacîrhamagya Omuyigîriza».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.”

50Erhi Yezu ayumva ako kanwa, amubwîra, erhi: «Orhayôbohaga; oyêmêre kwônene, afuma».But Jesus overheard them and said to Jairus, “Do not be afraid; just believe, and she will be healed.”

51Erhi ahika omu nyumpa, arhazigaga owamukulikiramwo, orhali Petro na Yowane na Yakôbo, bo n’îshe na nnina wa olya mwâna-nyere.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.

52Boshi erhi badwîrhe bamulakira banabanda endûlù. Anaciderha, erhi: «Murhalake, bulya omwâna arhafîri, ci al’îrò».Meanwhile, everyone was weeping and mourning for her. But Jesus said, “Stop weeping; she is not dead but asleep.”

53Bamushekera, bulya bâli bamanyire bwinjà oku anafîre.And they laughed at Him, knowing that she was dead.

54Yêhe amugwârha okuboko, ayâkûza, erhi: «We mwâna, zûka».But Jesus took her by the hand and called out, “Child, get up!”

55Omûka gwamushubiramwo, anacizûka ho na halya. Okubundi arhegeka mpu bamuhè ebi alya.Her spirit returned, and at once she got up. And He directed that she be given something to eat.

56Ababusi bâge barhangâla bwenêne; abakomêreza bwenêne mpu ntâye babwîrage ogwo mwanzi.Her parents were astounded, but Jesus ordered them not to tell anyone what had happened.
