Luke 8 (TYX) · Opened

1Ŋa mbihi oŋo, Yiisu ágyene mu mabvulu ya mala mu okabulutsala nsia yi a Emfumu e Nzaami ya okabululuo. Bantumu ba nde kwumu a buolo (12) bákakala ya nde emõSoon 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,

2ya ndaama a bakaha ba ádzuhu ya ba ábyi nde mifulu mi mibi mu bo. Óli Mari wu baakata ti musi Mangadala, wu óbyi Yiisu mifulu nsaama mi mibi,as well as some women who had been healed of evil spirits and infirmities: Mary called Magdalene, from whom seven demons had gone out,

3Dzaane mukala a Syudza wu ali musala a Erode, Sudzane ya bakaha balagha bakimi. Bo bwohono bákasalala bilogho bi bo mu obaha Yiisu ya binduono bi nde.Joanna the wife of Herod’s household manager Chuza, Susanna, and many others. These women were ministering to them out of their own means.

4Mu obo mpwumu a baara yi nene yígyi kundaa Yiisu, ya nde áti bo nkumu yi:While a large crowd was gathering and people were coming to Jesus from town after town, He told them this parable:

5«Etsughu etsyini, mbwuru mutsyini ágyene ku manseghe mu oyinyahala mburu. Mu matala ma ákabulunyahala nde yo, ndaama yíbwi mu mukogho a nzili. Baara bádzyara yo ya baŋmini báli yo.“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.

6Ndaama yinke yíbwi mu nsie yi a mameẽ. Bu yilughubu, yo yíkee mu kuulu oŋo nsie ka yíli a madza o.Some fell on rocky ground, and when it came up, the seedlings withered because they had no moisture.

7Ndaama yinke yíbwi mu nsie yi áli a mingaama. Mingaama bu mílughubu, míkulu emõ ya mburu oyo, mísi mburu mpiŋi. Yo yíkwono okulu.Other seed fell among thorns, which grew up with it and choked the seedlings.

8Ndaama yinke yíbwi mu nsie yi mbwe. Yo yíkulu, yíkulu, ya nswe liburu líburu mburu nkama.» Bu amana obili obo, Yiisu áfiribili mu mpini ti: «Nyaã wu li a matswi, agyughu!»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.”

9Ŋa mbihi oŋo, binduono bi Yiisu bífwulu nde ti nkumu oyo bunu-a-bo yidzyi olyele.Then His disciples asked Him what this parable meant.

10Nde ágwi bo mvuru yi: «Nzaami aasuo kundaa be mansweghe ma Empu e Nzaami. Lo kundaa baara babake, myehene okaluru mu mankumu, mu kuulu, “si bapana mihi, banyaã omono. Si bagyughu, banyaã obaghala.”»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«Nkumu oyo bu yidzyi olyele: mburu me Ndagha a Nzaami.Now this is the meaning of the parable: The seed is the word of God.

12Baara ba báli mu mukogho a nzili, me baara ba baakagyughu Ndagha a Nzaami, ŋa mbihi dyabulu gyi yamaha yo mu mikolo mi bo mu kuulu banyaã osa kana, ya banyaã obvwughu.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.

13Baara ba bali mu nsie yi a mameẽ yi obwi mburu, me babo baala bu bagyughu Ndagha a Nzaami, bakihi yo ya esee. Lo ka bali a midza o. Bo baakasa kana mu mana a matala. Ŋa ookagya bigyeele, bo baakabwa.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.

14Ndaama yi aakabwa ŋa kara li mingaama, me babo baala bu bagyughu Ndagha a Nzaami, bagyene ya banyaã minyoõ ya bisee bi nsie bisi yo mpiŋi, ya bimburu bi yo ka biikakulu o.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.

15Mburu yi aakabwa mu nsie yi mbwe, me baara babo baala bu bagyughu Ndagha a Nzaami, bakebe yo mu mukolo wu a bunsumu ya wu mubwe, ya baakakwara yo ya baakaburu bimburu ya mukama.»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«Ka oli ya mbwuru wu aakanahaba mwindi mu ofughu nde nkuru o, bwunu we mu otwulu nde ku nsini a mbughu. Lo mu otwulu nde ŋa yulu a ebini ki baakatwulu nde, mu kuulu baara ba baasomo mu nzo bamono otsyeme.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.

17Mandagha mwohono ma másweme sa magyighili omoŋono, ya mansweghe mwohono sa bagyighili ogyahaba mo ya opaha mo ku mbala.For there is nothing hidden that will not be disclosed, and nothing concealed that will not be made known and brought to light.

18Mu obo, lisa mayele mu ngyu-ngyughu a be! Mu kuulu sa babwehe elogho kundaa munde wu li a kye, lo kundaa munde wu aagwene a elogho o, sa bamaha ki aakatsimi nde ti li a kye.»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.”

19Ŋa mbihi oŋo, ngughu ya bambwee ba Yiisu báyatala nde, lo bo ka báleene oto ŋa áli nde o mu nkooro a mpwumu a baara.Then Jesus’ mother and brothers came to see Him, but they were unable to reach Him because of the crowd.

20Mbwuru mutsyini ályele nde ndiri: «Ngughu ya bambwee ba we bali ku mbala. Bo bali ya nzala a we.»He was told, “Your mother and brothers are standing outside, wanting to see You.”

21Lo Yiisu ágwi bo mvuru yi: «Ngughu a me ya bambwee ba me, me babo ba baakagyughu Ndagha a Nzaami, ya ba baakasalala yo.»But He replied, “My mother and brothers are those who hear the word of God and carry it out.”

22Etsughu etsyini, Yiisu ásomo munsa bwara ya binduono bi nde, ya ályele bo ti: «Litswe lisaghaba mu ngulu a mubu.» Mu obo, bo bágyene.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.

23Bu bákadzughu bwara, Yiisu ábwi tolo. Mu matala maana mamo, efulu kii mpini ébaana osa mu yulu a madza ma bana, ya bwara búbaana olwulu mu madza. Mu obo, lipfu lígyele bo.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.

24Binduono bísiili Yiisu ya bílyele nde ti: «Mfumu! Mfumu! Bihi-a-be lifi ekulu!» Yiisu bu asighili, áfyeẽ efulu ya mimpaŋa mi madza mu mpini. Efulu éfi ya edzuunu éyabvughuru.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.

25Ŋa mbihi oŋo nde áfwulu bo ndiri: «Kana li be kunu lili?» Enkwughu ésughuru bo ya bákiŋimi. Bo bábili bo-a-bo ti: «Wu nsa mbwuru wu aakatumu efulu ya madza, ya bye biikagyughu nde?»“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!”

26Yiisu ya binduono bi nde bápala mu ngulu a bana ya básomo mu etsulu e nsie kii ba-Ngerasenyeẽ, ki eli nkolo ya nkolo ya Ngalile.Then they sailed to the region of the Gerasenes, across the lake from Galilee.

27Ŋa ópala Yiisu munsa bwara, baghala mutsyini wu áali musi bvulu áyabwana a nde. Baghala munde áli a mifulu mi mibi. Edzighi nde áli átsili binkuru. Nde ka áli a nzo o, lo kunsa mampyeme ákabulugyoŋomo.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.

28Bu amono Yiisu, nde ákehe mungili, ákunu mabuo ŋa nkulu a nde, ya ályele mu mpini yohono ti: «Nsa ndagha yili ŋa kara li me ya we Yiisu Mwana a Nzaami Wu Ensoõ-Yulu? Yoboo, ka mwehẽ me mpara o!»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!”

29Nde ábili obo mu kuulu Yiisu ákalyele mufulu wu mubi ndiri: «We, mufulu wu mubi, pala mu baghala wu!» Nsa alagha mufulu ákasomo mu nde, ya bákakuru nde myaã mu bukolo ya bákatwulu nde myili munsa edzu, lo nde ákatsyiri bye. Mufulu wu mubi ákabulubiri nde kunsa syehe.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.

30Yiisu áfwulu nde ndiri: «Nkwumu a we na?» Nde ábvuhulu ndiri: «Mpwumu». Mu kuulu mifulu mi mibi milagha míisomo mu nde.“What is your name?” Jesus asked. “Legion,” he replied, because many demons had gone into him.

31Mifulu mi mibi míbuono Yiisu bu: «Ka tumu bihi ligye ku nsini a mbie yi a nda yi a laŋa-laŋa o.»And the demons kept begging Jesus not to order them to go into the Abyss.

32Ŋa bele oŋo óli a mukaã a bangubulu wu munene wu áakabuludza ŋa yulu a munguo. Mifulu mi mibi míbuono Yiisu agwa bo muswa wu oyisomo mu bangubulu. Nde ágwi bo muswa munde.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.

33Mu obo, mifulu mípala mu baghala munde, míyisomo mu bangubulu. Bangubulu bwohono bákumunu ku nsini a munguo, báyibwa mu bana ya báfi ekulu.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.

34Baara ba bákabulukebe bo bámono mi miluru. Mu obo bo bábara ya báyitsala nsia yi a ndagha oyo kunsa bvulu ya mu mala.When those tending the pigs saw what had happened, they ran off and reported this in the town and countryside.

35Baara báyatala mi míluru. Ŋa báyato bo ku óli Yiisu, bámono baghala wu áali a mifulu mi mibi ábwi nsini ŋa myili mi Yiisu. Nde álaha ku obwe ya embwuru éyabvughuru nde. Nzalamweẽ yíbagha bo.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.

36Baara ba bámono mi miluru balyele bo bunu-a-bo baghala munde ábvwughu.Meanwhile, those who had seen it reported how the demon-possessed man had been healed.

37Ŋa mbihi oŋo baara bwohono ba báli mu etsulu e nsie kii ba-Ngerasenyeẽ bályele Yiisu ndiri: «Mara mu nsie a bihi!» Bo bályele obo mu kuulu báli a nzalamweẽ yi alagha. Mu obo Yiisu si ásomo mu bwara ya ágyene.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.

38Baghala wu áali a mifulu mi mibi áluomo Yiisu muswa wu okala ya nde. Lo Yiisu ábihi ya ályele nde ti:The man whom the demons had left begged to go with Jesus. But He sent him away, saying,

39«Bvughuru ku nzo a we, ya yilyele baara mandagha mwohono ma oogyighili Nzaami mu we.» Nde ágyene ya átsala nsia munsa bvulu lwohono yi a mi ósi Yiisu mu nde.“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.

40Ŋa óyabvughuru Yiisu mu ngulu a bana, mpwumu a baara yíbwana a nde mu kuulu bo bwohono bákakebe nde.When Jesus returned, the crowd welcomed Him, for they had all been waiting for Him.

41Ŋa mbihi oŋo, mukwuru mutsyini wu a nzo a lisamana yi a ba-Dzwife áyato. Nkwumu a nde áli Dzayiruse. Nde ákunu mabuo mu nsie ŋa nkulu a Yiisu ya ábuono nde agye ku nzo a nde.Just then a synagogue leader named Jairus came and fell at Jesus’ feet. He begged Him to come to his house,

42Nde áli a mwana wu mukaha mumõ wu a mvulu kwumu ya ywolo (12). Nde ákadzwana ya lipfu. Yiisu bu ákagye, mpwumu a baara yínama nde ya yísi nde mpiŋi.because his only daughter, who was about twelve, was dying. As Jesus went with him, the crowds pressed around Him,

43Ŋa nsa mpwumu a baara oyo óli a mukaha mutsyini. Nde áli a ebyele kii okapala makili ki ési mvulu kwumu ya ywolo (12). Nde ámana nzi a nde yohono kundaa bangaa-libughu, lo mbwuru si mumõ ka ási ti nde amono bubwe o.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.

44Bu agyi ku mbihi a Yiisu, ábyeme mubele a enkuru e nde ya makili másaakaŋama.She came up behind Jesus and touched the fringe of His cloak, and immediately her bleeding stopped.

45Mu obo Yiisu áfwulu ndiri: «Nande byeme me?» Baara bwohono bátunu ya Piere ályele ti: «Mfumu, we li mu omono ti mpwumu a baara yiidzyi we ya yili mu osa we mpiŋi.»“Who touched Me?” Jesus asked. But they all denied it. “Master,” said Peter, “the people are crowding and pressing against You.”

46Lo Yiisu ályele bu: «Mbwuru aabyeme me, mu kuulu me mono ti mpini yiipala mu nyuru a me.»But Jesus declared, “Someone touched Me, for I know that power has gone out from Me.”

47Ŋa ómono mukaha munde ti Yiisu agyahaba ndagha oyo, nde áyabwa ŋa myili mi Yiisu ya enkwughu kyehene. Ŋa mbihi oŋo, nde ályele ŋa mihi mi baara bwohono mu emakye nde aabyeme enkuru e Yiisu, ya bu aadzughu nde mu matala maana mamo.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.

48Yiisu ályele kundaa nde ndiri: «Ma mwana, kana li we liibvwuhu we. Gye mu edzuunu!»“Daughter,” said Jesus, “your faith has healed you. Go in peace.”

49Ŋaala Yiisu nkini mu okabili, mbwuru mutsyini wu áafi ku nzo a Dzayiruse, mfumu a nzo a lisamana a ba-Dzwife ályele nde ti: «Mwana a we aakpi. Muluo ka li a ki aafiriyisa oko o.»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.”

50Lo Yiisu bu agyughu obo, ályele Dzayiruse ndiri: «Ka kala a nzalamweẽ o, sa yini a kana, nde sa adzughu.»But Jesus overheard them and said to Jairus, “Do not be afraid; just believe, and she will be healed.”

51Yiisu bu áyato ŋa nzo a Dzayiruse, nde ka ágwi baara muswa wu osomo ya nde o. Yini a Piere, Dzake, Dzã, taara ya maama a mwana báasomo ya nde.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.

52Baara bwohono bákalili ya bákanyoõ mu nkooro a lipfu li mwana. Mu obo Yiisu ályele ndiri: «Ka lili o! Nde ka aakpi o, lo nde ogyoŋomo aagyoŋomo.»Meanwhile, everyone was weeping and mourning for her. But Jesus said, “Stop weeping; she is not dead but asleep.”

53Bo bákasebe nde mu kuulu bo bágyahaba ti mwana aakpi.And they laughed at Him, knowing that she was dead.

54Lo, Yiisu bu akwara mwana mu kwogho, ályele kundaa nde mu mpini ndiri: «Mwana, temene!»But Jesus took her by the hand and called out, “Child, get up!”

55Mu matala maana mamo, ewumu e mwana éyabvughuru, ya maswa-maswa nde átemene. Yiisu ályele bo bagwa nde bi-odza.Her spirit returned, and at once she got up. And He directed that she be given something to eat.

56Taara ya maama a mwana bákiŋimi ku olagha. Lo Yiisu átswi bo mukele banyaã olyele mbwuru ndagha oyo.Her parents were astounded, but Jesus ordered them not to tell anyone what had happened.
