Luke 8 (ZIN) · Opened

1Kagahwéele ago, Yeézu akaba naazeénda ha kulabila buli muzihwa ne emigoongo. Akaba naalaánga no kwoólekeelela abaantu Empola Nzima zo obukáma bwa Múungu. Na abaheémba boómwe ikúmi na bábili bakaba bali hamo náze.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,

2Mala káandi akaba akulaatileene na abakázi abáandi áabo yaabeele yaábachílize amalwáala gáabo, no kubeéhaho amazimu. Omuli áabo bakázi, hakaba halimo Mariamu omunya Magidala, óogwo Yeézu yaabele yaamwiihileho amazimu musaanzu.as well as some women who had been healed of evil spirits and infirmities: Mary called Magdalene, from whom seven demons had gone out,

3Káandi hakaba heena Yoana, ali muka Kuza. Kuza, niwe endiinza ye ebiintu byo omukáma Herode. Akaba aliho Suzana, na abakázi abáandi béenzi. Abakázi áabo, bakaba nibasohoza ebiintu byáabo, ha kumuzuna Yeézu na abaheémba boómwe.Joanna the wife of Herod’s household manager Chuza, Susanna, and many others. These women were ministering to them out of their own means.

4Echilo chimo, abaantu be emizihwa míinzi, bakaba nibamwiízaho Yeézu, baákoba embága mpáango. Aho yaábagaambila ha mugani ogu,While a large crowd was gathering and people were coming to Jesus from town after town, He told them this parable:

5“Hakaba heena omubíbi, ayaabeele azeenzíle kubiba embibóze omu musili. No obuchilo akaba naabiba, ezíindi zikalagala omu muháanda, zaálibatilwa. Ne enyonyi zikeeza zaázilya.“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.

6Ezíindi, zikalagala omu itaka liche aha luchili. Kizaamezíle, zaabulwa améenzi, zaáyoma.Some fell on rocky ground, and when it came up, the seedlings withered because they had no moisture.

7Ezíindi, zikalagala omu mahwa. No obuchilo kagakuzile hamo ne emimelo, gakazimigisiliza.Other seed fell among thorns, which grew up with it and choked the seedlings.

8“Hakaba heena ezíindi, éezo ezagwíile omu busi buluunzi. No obuchilo kizakomiile, zikaba nizigeswa buli mbíbo igana igana.” Obuchilo Yeézu yaámazile kugaamba ebyo, yaáhamuka ahi iláka omu kugaamba, “Ogwo ayina amatwi, ahuliilize!”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.”

9Abaheémba ba Yeézu bakamubúuza, “Óogu mugani, nooyeénda kugaamba chiíha?”Then His disciples asked Him what this parable meant.

10Yaábasubiza, “Múungu abaheéle íimwe okusoombookelwa amagaambo ge entaahililo zo obukáma bwoómwe. Náho abáandi, aba niimbagaambila ha migani, kuba, ‘No óobu balikuleeba, batakuhwéeza. Na no óobu balikuhulila, bataákusoombookelwa.’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“Mbwéenu ensoonga yo omugani ogwo, niyo ezi: Embíbo, ne echigaambo cha Múungu.Now this is the meaning of the parable: The seed is the word of God.

12Ezo embíbo ezalageele héehi no omuháanda nizimanyisa abaantu áabo abalikuchihuliiliza echigaambo cha Múungu. Ahonyini, Isitáani lyéeza no kuchiihamo omu myóoyo yáabo, bataákwiiza kwiikiliza no kuchuúnguka.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“Ne embíbo éezo ezalageele omu itaka elyáaho ahaansi aha luchili, nizimanyisa abaantu áabo abalikuhuliiliza echigaambo cho obukáma bwa Múungu, nibachanaánkula aha manulilwa, nibachiikiliza aha mwáanya muche kwoónka, habwo kuba okwiikiliza kwáabo tikulabeele ne emizi bwooli. Náho obuchilo bwo kuleengesibwa, nibachileka, aha nsoonga nibasusana ne emimelo éezo etéena mizi.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“Ne embíbo éezo ezagwíile omugati ya amáhwa, nizimanyisa abaantu áabo abalikuhulila echigaambo echo. Náho ahaleéza, nibamigisilizwa no okutahwa tahwa ne etuúnku za amabonwa méenzi, ne emizeendele yáabo yo oluhagali omu bulami bwáabo. Ago nigaleetelela okwiikiliza kwáabo kuleka kusohoza emisumo mizima.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“Ne embíbo éezo ezagwíile omu busi buluunzi, nizimanyisa abaantu áabo abalikuhulila echigaambo echo. Kabalikumala kuchihulila, nibachiinaánkula aha muganya muzima, nibazeendelela no kweéyomeleza, kuhicha omwáanya gwóona nibasohoza emisumo.”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“Taliho omuuntu óogwo alikwaacha olumuli, akalusweekelela ne echitukulu, nali akaluta omu buunkululu bwe echitabo. Náho, naaluteleka aha lugulu ya akakóondo, kuba abaantu kabalataahamo, babone kuhwéeza habwo omwaanga.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“Bityo nikwo, byóona ebili bweeseléke óobu, bilyaaleebwa aha bwéelu. Na byóona ebichigiliilwe, bilyaátéebwa aha bwéelu bimanyiike.For there is nothing hidden that will not be disclosed, and nothing concealed that will not be made known and brought to light.

18“Nikwo, ago gi mulikuhulila, mugahuliilize kuzima! Habwo kuba, omuuntu óogwo ayina echiintu, niwe óogwo alaayoongezibwa abe ne ebíindi. Náho, omuuntu atéena chiintu, no óobu ako akache akaálikubona nkokwo ayinako, naayaákwa.”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.”

19Niho, nyina na badugu boómwe Yeézu, baamwiizáho. Náho tibalahikize kumwiililila, habwo kuba abaantu béenzi bakaba nibeemigisiliza.Then Jesus’ mother and brothers came to see Him, but they were unable to reach Him because of the crowd.

20Abaantu abáandi baámugaambila Yeézu, “Nyoko na badugu baawe beemeeliile ahéelu, nibeénda kukubóna.”He was told, “Your mother and brothers are standing outside, wanting to see You.”

21Yeézu yaábasubiza, “Máaha na badugu baanze nibo bóona áabo abalikuhulila echigaambo cha Múungu no kuchikola.”But He replied, “My mother and brothers are those who hear the word of God and carry it out.”

22Echilo chimo, Yeézu akahanama omu bwáato bwi itaanga, hamo na abaheémba boómwe. Yaábagaambila, “Twaambuke enyaanza tuze buseeli.” Ha bwéecho, baalugáho.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.

23Obuchilo bakaba nibazeénda, Yeézu akahunila. Omwo omu nyaanza hakabaho omuyaga gwo omusote. Obwáato obwo bwaábaanza kwiízula améenzi, bóona bakaba bali omu ntaambala.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.

24Abaheémba abo baamuzaho Yeézu baámupaámpula, baámugaambila, “Mukáma wéetu! Mukáma wéetu! Twaásiingaalika!” Yeézu yeémuka. Aho yaágukaama ogwo muyaga muháango, káandi na amakóonzo, nkokwo bichuleéle. Entúlo eémo, byaáchuléela, haaba echineembe.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.

25Aho, Yeézu yaábabúuza abaheémba boómwe, “Kuli nkáhi okwiikiliza kwéenyu?” Abaheémba abo baátíina bwooli. Hamo ne ebyo, baásobelwa, omu kweébuuza, “Ngási noóha ogu, alikuzema nóobwo omuyaga na amakóonzo, entúlo eémo nibimutiína?”“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!”

26Yeézu na abaheémba boómwe obuchilo óobwo baayaambukile enyaanza ya Galiláaya, baáhika éensi ya Abageráasi, ha musábuko gwa kábili gwe éensi ya Galiláaya.Then they sailed to the region of the Gerasenes, across the lake from Galilee.

27No obuchilo Yeézu naatuúka aha chaambo, yaamwiizáho omuuntu oómo wo omuzihwa ogwo, ayaabeele ayina amazimu ha bilo bíinzi, akaba atakutúula omúka, náho akaba naatuúla omu kufuluka fuluka no kutúula omu bitúulo. Ebilo byóona éebyo akaba ayikala ali busa obutazwaala myéenda.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.

28Elyo izimu, likaba limutabaálila entúlo nyíinzi. Abaantu bakaba baleéngesa kumuzuna, ha kumukóma ne eminyololyo ne empiingu. Hamo ne ebyo, akaba naazinogola nogola, mále izimu nilimutwaála ahaantu hatéena baantu. Yeézu káyaabugeene no omuuntu ogwo, yaálizema izimu elyo limulugého ogwo muuntu. Omuuntu obuchilo yeélilila héehi na Yeézu, yaáhamuka ahi iláka liháango. Yáagwa buzuúma omu méeso ga Yeézu, yaámugaambila ahi iláka liháango, “Íiwe Yeézu, Mutábani wa Múungu Óogwo Ali Olugulu ya Byóona, okaatuulanwa chi neenye, ka noondoonda íiwe! Niinkusába, otaanyagalaza!”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!”

30Yeézu yaámubúuza, “Izíina lyaawe oli oóha?” Náwe yaámusubiza, “Izíina lyaanze, ndi Ensuli.” Akagaamba aátyo habwo kuba amazimu méenzi gakaba gamulího.“What is your name?” Jesus asked. “Legion,” he replied, because many demons had gone into him.

31Amazimu ago, gakabaanza kumusaba Yeézu nkokwo atagazema gazeénde kutaaha omu liina elila lyo kuzimu.And the demons kept begging Jesus not to order them to go into the Abyss.

32Na aho aha ngolomoko ya akabaanga ako, hakaba heena idaale liháango lye empunu éezo zaabéele nizilya. Niho, amazimu ago gaámusaba Yeézu, nkokwo agakuúndile gazeénde gatáahe omuunda yaázo. No obuchilo naagakuundíla,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.

33amazimu ago gaamulugáho omuuntu ogwo, gaázeenda geetáasha lwa amáani omu mpunu ezo. Empunu zóona, zeelukila omu nyaanza kuluga aha ngolomoko ézo mpaango, zaáfwéela omu méenzi.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.

34Abalíisa be empunu ezo, bakaleeba ebyo byóona ebyaagwíile. Niho beéluka, baázeenda omu muzihwa no omu masaambo, nibakumuúcha empola ezi ha baantu.When those tending the pigs saw what had happened, they ran off and reported this in the town and countryside.

35Mále abaantu baalugáho kuzeenda kuleeba ebigaambo ebyo óokwo bili, baamuhikáho Yeézu. Obuchilo bwo kumuhikáho, baámubona omuuntu óoliinya, ayaabeele ayina amazimu gaámulugilého. Akaba ayikeele héehi na amagulu ga Yeézu, azweele omwéenda, ayina obwéenze bwóona. Abaantu abo baákwáatwa no obutíini.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.

36Abaantu áabo abaabwéene agagwiile góona, bakaba nibabasoomboólela bazeenzi báabo nkokwo omuuntu ogwo atuungamiilwe amazimu ku yaáchilizwe.Meanwhile, those who had seen it reported how the demon-possessed man had been healed.

37Abaantu bóona bo omu nsi ya Abageráasi, beétimwa bwooli. Baámusaba Yeézu nkokwo alugeho aho hali boónyini. Nikwo, yaáhanama omu bwáato bwi itaanga yaásuba.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.

38Omuuntu ogwo, ayaabeele amazimu gaámulugilého, yaámusaba Yeézu nkokwo bazeénde hamo náze. Náho Yeézu yaámusubya, yaámugaambila,The man whom the demons had left begged to go with Jesus. But He sent him away, saying,

39“Osube omúka yaawe, ozeénde kubasoomboolela abaantu áago Múungu yaákukolela.” Niho, omuuntu ogwo yaalugáho aho, yaázeenda naabasoomboólela abaantu ba buli hóona omu muzihwa ogwo ago gi Yeézu yaámukolela.“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.

40Obuchilo Yeézu yaásubile okwo Galiláaya, akanyegezwa ne embága ya abaantu áabo abaabeele nibamutegamilila.When Jesus returned, the crowd welcomed Him, for they had all been waiting for Him.

41Aho, yéeza omuuntu oómo, izíina lyoómwe Yairo, omweébeembezi wi isomelo. Yairo, yaáteela ebizwi omu méeso ga Yeézu, yaámusaba nkokwo ayize omúka yoómwe,Just then a synagogue leader named Jairus came and fell at Jesus’ feet. He begged Him to come to his house,

42habwo kuba muhalawe nyakámo we emyáaka nke ikúmi ne ebili, akaba ali héehi kufwa. Obuchilo Yeézu akaba naazeénda aho, echipípi echo cha abaantu, chikakulaatilana náwe kunu nibamumigisiliza bwooli.because his only daughter, who was about twelve, was dying. As Jesus went with him, the crowds pressed around Him,

43No omu baantu abo, hakaba heena omukázi óogwo akaba ayina endwáala ye emizezi aha myáaka ikúmi ne ibili. No óobu yaabeele yaámazile kuhéela ebiintu byoómwe byóona ha kuliha abafúmu, akaba ataliho no óobu oómo óogwo ayaahikize kumuchíza.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.

44Niho, omukázi ogwo yéeza kuluga enyuma ya Yeézu, yaamukuumyáho aha lukugilo lwo omwéenda gwoómwe. Ahonyini yaáchila.She came up behind Jesus and touched the fringe of His cloak, and immediately her bleeding stopped.

45Yeézu yaábúuza, “Óogwo ayaánkuumyáho, noóha?” Abaantu bóona, bakalahila. Peétero náwe yaámugaambila Yeézu, “Íiwe Mukáma wéetu, na abaantu beenzi baákuzoongolokile nibakumigisiliza!”“Who touched Me?” Jesus asked. But they all denied it. “Master,” said Peter, “the people are crowding and pressing against You.”

46Náho, Yeézu yaágaamba, “Niimmanya heena omuuntu óogwo ayaánkuumyáho, habwo kuba niinyehulila nkokwo obuhicha bwo kuchiza bwaandugáho.”But Jesus declared, “Someone touched Me, for I know that power has gone out from Me.”

47Omukázi ogwo, obuchilo káyaabweene nkokwo tayina akazeendele ko kweéseleka káandi, yaamwiizáho Yeézu, naazuguma. Yaáteela ebizwi, yaámugaambila omu méeso ga abaantu abo bóona, ensoonga yo kumukuumyáho, na nkokwo yaáchízwa aha ntúlo eémo.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.

48Yeézu yaámugaambila, “Íiwe muhalákazi waanze, okwiikiliza kwaawe nikwo kwaákuchiza. Ozeénde no obuhóolo!”“Daughter,” said Jesus, “your faith has healed you. Go in peace.”

49Obuchilo Yeézu akaba achaágaamba gaamba ebyo, yéeza omuuntu kuluga omúka owa Yairo, omweébeembezi wi isomelo, yaámugaambila, “Leka kumwaágalaza Omweégesa, habwo kuba muhala waawe yaáfwiile.”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.”

50Náho Yeézu kayaabihuliile ebigaambo ebyo, yaámugaambila Yairo, “Otatiina, yikiliza kwoónka, na muhala waawe naachízwa.”But Jesus overheard them and said to Jairus, “Do not be afraid; just believe, and she will be healed.”

51No obuchilo Yeézu naahika omúka owa Yairo, yaábaángila abaantu abáandi kutaahamo omu nzu hamo náze, choónka yaákuundila Peétero, Yohana, Yakobo, iíse na nyina wo omuhalákazi ogwo.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.

52Abaantu bóona aháka ezo, bakaba nibachúla no kwaalama habwo omuhalákazi ogwo. Náho, Yeézu yaábagaambila, “Muleke kuchula! Takafwíile ogu, choónka ahuniile kwoónka!”Meanwhile, everyone was weeping and mourning for her. But Jesus said, “Stop weeping; she is not dead but asleep.”

53Abaantu abo baábaanza kumusekeelela ahi igayo, habwo kuba bakaba nibamanya nkokwo ogwo akaba yaáfwíile.And they laughed at Him, knowing that she was dead.

54Yeézu, yaákwáata omukóno gwo omuhalákazi ogwo, yaámugaambila, “Íiwe mwáana, imuka!”But Jesus took her by the hand and called out, “Child, get up!”

55Ahonyini, omuhalákazi ogwo, omwooyo gwaamusubamo, yaáyemeelela. Yeézu yaábagaambila nka nikwo, bamuhe ebyookulya.Her spirit returned, and at once she got up. And He directed that she be given something to eat.

56Abazéele boómwe baásobelwa bwooli. Náho Yeézu yaábaangila nka nikwo, bataákumugaambila omuuntu weéna wéena ago agáagwa.Her parents were astounded, but Jesus ordered them not to tell anyone what had happened.
