Luke 8 (XNJ) · Opened

1Pagamaliki ago Yesu akahamba mumiji na muhijiji hingi kuvajovela vandu Lilovi la Bwina la Unkosi wa Chapanga. Vawuliwa vaki kumi na vavili vakalongosana nayu.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,

2Pamonga na vadala vevawusiwi mizuka na vevalamisiwi matamu na Yesu, venavo vavi, Maliya mkolonjinji wa Magidala mweawusiwi mizuka saba yihakau,as well as some women who had been healed of evil spirits and infirmities: Mary called Magdalene, from whom seven demons had gone out,

3na Yoana mdala waki Kuza, Kuza mweavi myimilila nyumba ya Helodi, Susana na vadala vangi vamahele. Vevawusili vindu yavi ndava ya kumtangatila Yesu na vawuliwa vaki vayendelela na lihengu lavi.Joanna the wife of Herod’s household manager Chuza, Susanna, and many others. These women were ministering to them out of their own means.

4Vandu vamahele vambwelalili Yesu kuhuma kukila muji, na msambi uvaha pawakonganiki, Yesu akavajovela luhumu ulu.While a large crowd was gathering and people were coming to Jesus from town after town, He told them this parable:

5Mundu mweahambili kumija mbeyu zaki. Na peamija mbeyu, zingi zikagwilila munjila na vandu vakazilivatila, na videge vikahola.“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.

6Zingi zikagwilila paludaka luna maganga pezatumbulayi kumela zikanyala muni pavi lepi na manji.Some fell on rocky ground, and when it came up, the seedlings withered because they had no moisture.

7Zingi zikagwilila muminga, ndi minga zikamela pamonga nazu, zikazihinya.Other seed fell among thorns, which grew up with it and choked the seedlings.

8Zingi zagwili paludaka lwabwina, zikamela limonga likapambika ng'onyo. Yesu akamalisila kwa lwami luvaha, “Mweavi na makutu ga kuyuwana ayuwana!”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.”

9Vawuliwa vaki vakamkota Yesu, luhumu lula mana yaki kyani.Then His disciples asked Him what this parable meant.

10Mwene akavayangula, “Nyenye muhotiswi kumanya ufiyu wa Unkosi wa Chapanga, nambu lepi kwa avo vangi, vene vijoviwa kwa luhumu, muni vakalolayi nakuhotola kulola na vakayuwana nakumanya.”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“Luhumu ulu mana yaki. Mbeyu ndi lilovi la Chapanga.Now this is the meaning of the parable: The seed is the word of God.

12Chechihumili kwa mbeyu zezagwili munjila, ndi luhumu lwa vandu veviyuwana lilovi la Chapanga, kangi Setani peibwela na kuliwusa mumitima yavi vakotoka kusadika na kusanguliwa.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.

13Mewawa chechehumili kwa mbeyu zezagwili pamaganga, ndi luhumu wa vandu veviyuwana lilovi na kulipokela kwa luheku. Nambu vandu vangali mikiga mugati yavi, na lukumbi pevilingiwa vikotoka.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.

14Kangi chechihumili kwa mbeyu zezagwili paminga, ndi luhumu wa vandu veviyuwana lilovi la Chapanga, pa lukumbi luhupi peviyendelela na Lilovi lenilo, vene vihinyiwa na mahengu ga kuvya na vindu vyamahele na mambu ga bwina ga pamulima, ndi na kupambika matunda gakakangala.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.

15Ndi mbeyu zezagwili paludaka lwabwina, ndi luhumu wa vandu vevayuwini lilovi na kulivika mumitima yavi na kuyidakila bwina. Vikangamala mumitima mbaka kupambika matunda.”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“Vandu vipambika lepi hahi na kuyigubika na chiviga amala kuyivika kuhi kuchitanda. Nambu vandu vivika hahi panani pachibokoselu, muni vandu veviyingila mugati valola bwina.”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“Muni chochoha chechifiyiki, yati chigubukuliwa na chindu chochoha cha mfiyu yati chimanyikana na voha.”For there is nothing hidden that will not be disclosed, and nothing concealed that will not be made known and brought to light.

18“Mujiyangalilayi chemwiyuwana, muni mweavi nachu yati iyonjokeswa, nambu mundu mwanga chindu, hati chila chidebe cheihololela kuvya nachu yati chinyagiwa.”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.”

19Nyina waki na valongo vaki Yesu vakamuhambalila, ndava ya msambi wa vandu wula nakuhotola kumuhegelela.Then Jesus’ mother and brothers came to see Him, but they were unable to reach Him because of the crowd.

20Mundu mmonga akamjovela Yesu, “Nyina waku na valongo vaku vayimili kuvala, vigana kukulola.”He was told, “Your mother and brothers are standing outside, wanting to see You.”

21Nambu Yesu akavajovela vandu, “Nyina wangu na valongo vangu ndi vala veviyuwana lilovi la Chapanga na kulikamula.”But He replied, “My mother and brothers are those who hear the word of God and carry it out.”

22Na kavili ligono limonga Yesu peakweli muwatu pamonga na vawuliwa vaki, akavajovela, “Tikupuka kumwambu ya nyanja.” Vakatumbula kukupuka.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.

23Pavahambayi muwatu wula, Yesu agonili lugono. Ndi chimbungululu chikatumbula kutova munyanja mula na manji gakatumbula kuyingila muwatu wavi mkulemala neju.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.

24Vawuliwa vaki vamhambali vakamuyumusa na vakamjovela, “Bambu, Bambu Tifwa!” Yesu akayumuka, akachilakalila chimbungululu chila na luyuga lwa manji ndi vikaguna na kukavya teke.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.

25Kangi akavajovela vawuliwa vaki, “Kusadika kwinu kuvi koki?” Vene vakakangasa na kuyogopa kuni vijovelana, “Mundu uyu wa namuna yoki? Hati ihotola kugunisa chimbungululu na luyuga na vyene vimyidikila!”“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!”

26Vakakupuka na kuhika kumbwani ya kumuji wa mulima wa Vagelasi wewalolasini na Galilaya kumwambu ya nyanja.Then they sailed to the region of the Gerasenes, across the lake from Galilee.

27Yesu peahulwiki muwatu na kulivatila mbwani, mundu mmonga wa muji wula, mweavi na mizuka ambwelalili. Mundu mwenuyo kwa magono gamahele awala lepi nyula wala atamili lepi munyumba yoyoha yila, ndi atamali mumbugu la kuzikila vandu.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.

28Peamuweni Yesu akavemba kwa lwami luvaha na kumgwilila pamagendelu, “Wa, Yesu veve Mwana wa Chapanga Mkulu! Una kyani na nene? Pepayi chonde kotoka kuning'aha!”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!”

29Ajovili genago muni Yesu amali kuuhakalila mzuka wula umuwukayi mundu yula. Pamahele mzuka wamzangila mundu yula pamonga na vandu kumuvika mugati na kumkunga minyololo mu mawoko na mumagendelu nambu pamahele adenyayi vifungo vyenivyo, na kujumbiswa kwa makakala ga mzuka wenuwo mbaka kulugangatu.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 akamkota, “Liina laku yani?” Akayangula, “Liina langu Msambi.” Ndava mizuka yamahele yamuyingili.“What is your name?” Jesus asked. “Legion,” he replied, because many demons had gone into him.

31Mizuka yila yikamjovela Yesu pepayi chonde akotoka kuyipeleka kuligodi langali mwishu.And the demons kept begging Jesus not to order them to go into the Abyss.

32Kwavi na maguluvi gamahele gevadimayi kuchitumbi pandu penapo, ndi mizuka yila yikamuyupa Yesu yihamba kuyingila mumaguluvi gala. Yesu akayileka yihamba.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.

33Ndi mizuka yila yikamuwuka mundu yula yikagayingila maguluvi gala, na msambi wa maguluvi ukahelela munyanja na kuyongomela, gakafwa mumanji.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.

34Vadimaji va maguluvi pevaloli gegahumali vakajumba, kuhamba kumuji na kumigunda kuvajovela vandu ujumbi.When those tending the pigs saw what had happened, they ran off and reported this in the town and countryside.

35Vandu vakabwela kulola gegahumalili, vakamuhambalila Yesu, vamuwene mundu mwe yamuhumili mizuka yula, atamili papipi na magendelu ga Yesu, awali nyula, na avi na luhala lwaki bwina. Voha vakayogopa.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.

36Vandu vevagaweni mambu genago, vakavajovela vayavi chealamiswi mundu yula.Meanwhile, those who had seen it reported how the demon-possessed man had been healed.

37Vakolonjinji voha wa ku Gelasi vakavya na wogohi neju. Vakamuyupa Yesu awukayi ahamba kungi. Yesu akakwela muwatu akawuka.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.

38Mundu mweamuwusi mizuka yula, amuyupili Yesu valongosanayi. Nambu Yesu nakumuyidakila, ndi akamjovela,The man whom the demons had left begged to go with Jesus. But He sent him away, saying,

39“Wuya kunyumba yaku ukavajovelayi gaakuhengili Chapanga.” Ndi mundu yula akahamba kila pandu kumuji woha akuvajovela vandu chaamhengili 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 paawuyili kumwambu yingi ya nyanja, avakoli msambi wa vandu vampokali chaluheku, ndava voha vamlindilayi.When Jesus returned, the crowd welcomed Him, for they had all been waiting for Him.

41Penapo akabwela mundu mmonga liina laki Yailusi avi chilongosi wa nyumba ya kukonganekela akamfugamila Yesu mumagendelu, akamuyupa Yesu ahamba kunyumba yaki,Just then a synagogue leader named Jairus came and fell at Jesus’ feet. He begged Him to come to his house,

42muni msikana waki ngayuyoyo mmonga, wa miiyaka kumi na yivili avi mtamu papipi kufwa. Yesu avi mukuhamba, msambi wa vandu wavi kumuhinya kila upandi.because his only daughter, who was about twelve, was dying. As Jesus went with him, the crowds pressed around Him,

43Kwavi na mdala mmonga pagati ya msambi wula wa vandu, avi na utamu wa kuhuma ngasi miyaka kumi na yivili, amalili kuwusa vindu vyaki vyoha kuvapela valamisa, kawaka mweahotwili kumlamisa.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.

44Mdala yula akamlanda Yesu mumbele akapamisa lugunyilu lwa pahi lwa nyula ya Yesu. Bahapo akalama.She came up behind Jesus and touched the fringe of His cloak, and immediately her bleeding stopped.

45Yesu akajova, “Yani mweanipamisi?” Vandu vakajova, Kawaka mundu mwaakupamisi. Petili akajova, “Bambu msambi wa vandu vakutindili na kukuhinya!”“Who touched Me?” Jesus asked. But they all denied it. “Master,” said Peter, “the people are crowding and pressing against You.”

46Nambu Yesu akajova, “Avili mundu mweanipamisi, muni nijiyuwini makakala ganihumili.”But Jesus declared, “Someone touched Me, for I know that power has gone out from Me.”

47Mdala yula paajiloli nakuhotola kujifiha, akabwela kuni hivagaya akamfugamila Yesu mumagendelu. Akamjovela pavandu voha ndava ya kumpamisa Yesu na chaalami bahapo.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 akamjovela, “Msikana wangu, kusadika kwaku kukulamisi, uhamba na uteke.”“Daughter,” said Jesus, “your faith has healed you. Go in peace.”

49Yesu paavi akona ilongela, akabwela mundu kuhuma kunyumba ya Yailo, akamjovela Yailo, “Leka kumung'aha Muwula, mwana waku mwene afwili.”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 peayuwini genago, akamjovela Yailo, “Kotoka kuyogopa, sadika ndu, yati ilama.”But Jesus overheard them and said to Jairus, “Do not be afraid; just believe, and she will be healed.”

51Peahikili panyumba pala, akavatola Petili na Yohani na Yakobo pamonga na dadi na nyina wa msikana yula akayingila nawu mugati, vandu vangi avalekili kuvala.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.

52Vandu voha vavembayi na malilu kwa lipyanda ndava ya mwana yula. Nambu Yesu akavajovela, “Mkotoka kuvemba, muni mwana uyu afwili lepi, agonili ndu.”Meanwhile, everyone was weeping and mourning for her. But Jesus said, “Stop weeping; she is not dead but asleep.”

53Voha vakamuheka, muni vamanyili kuvya mwana yula afwili.And they laughed at Him, knowing that she was dead.

54Kangi Yesu akamkamula chiwoko mwana yula na kumkemela, “Mwana yimuka!”But Jesus took her by the hand and called out, “Child, get up!”

55Mpungu waki ukamuwuyila, bahapo akayimuka. Yesu akavajovela mumpela chakulya.Her spirit returned, and at once she got up. And He directed that she be given something to eat.

56Dadi na nyina wa mwana yula vakakangasa, Nambu Yesu akavajovela vakotoka kumjovela mundu yoyoha mambu gala gegahengiki.Her parents were astounded, but Jesus ordered them not to tell anyone what had happened.
