Iye sanali patali ndi nyumba pamene Kenturiyo anatumiza anzake kuti akamuwuze kuti, “Ambuye, musadzivutitse, pakuti ndine wosayenera kuti mulowe mʼnyumba mwanga. 7Nʼchifukwa chake sindinadziyenereze ndi pangʼono pomwe kuti ndibwere kwa inu. Koma nenani mawu, ndipo wantchito wanga adzachira. 8Pakuti ndili pansi paulamuliro, ndiponso ndili ndi asilikali pansi panga. Ndikamuwuza uyu kuti, ‘Pita,’ iye amapita; ndi uyo kuti, ‘Bwera,’ amabwera. Ndikamuwuza wantchito wanga kuti, ‘Chita ichi,’ amachita.”
9Yesu atamva izi, anadabwa naye, ndipo anatembenukira gulu la anthu limene limamutsatira nati, “Ndikukuwuzani kuti, sindinapeze chikhulupiriro chachikulu ngati ichi mu Israeli.” 10Kenaka anthu amene anatumidwawo anabwerera ku nyumba ndipo anakamupeza wantchitoyo atachira.
Yesu Aukitsa Mwana wa Mayi Wamasiye
11Zitangotha izi, Yesu anapita ku mudzi wa Naini ndipo ophunzira ake ndi gulu lalikulu la anthu linapita naye pamodzi. 12Akufika pa chipata cha mudziwo, anakumana ndi anthu amene ankatuluka ndi munthu wakufa amene anali mwana yekhayo wa mkazi wamasiye. Gulu lalikulu la anthu a mʼmudziwo linali naye. 13Ambuye atamuona mayiyo, mtima wawo unagwidwa naye chifundo ndipo anati, “Usalire.”
14Kenaka anapita nakakhudza chithatha cha maliro ndipo amene anachinyamulawo anayima. Iye anati, “Mnyamata, ndikukuwuza kuti, dzuka!” 15Wakufayo anakhala tsonga ndi kuyamba kuyankhula, ndipo Yesu anamupereka mnyamatayo kwa amayi ake.
16Onse anachita mantha kwambiri nalemekeza Mulungu. Iwo anati, “Mneneri wamkulu waonekera pakati pathu. Mulungu wabwera kudzathandiza anthu ake.” 17Mbiriyi inafalikira ku Yudeya konse ndi ku madera ozungulira.
Yesu ndi Yohane Mʼbatizi
18Ndipo ophunzira a Yohane anamuwuza Yohaneyo zinthu zonsezi. Atayitana awiri a ophunzirawo, 19anawatumiza kwa Ambuye kukafunsa kuti, “Kodi ndinu anayenera kubwerayo, kapena tiyembekezere wina?”
20Anthuwo atafika kwa Yesu anati, “Yohane Mʼbatizi watituma kwa Inu kuti tidzafunse kuti, ‘Kodi ndinu anayenera kubwerayo, kapena tiyembekezere wina?’ ”
21Pa nthawi yomweyo, Yesu anachiritsa ambiri amene ankavutika, odwala ndi amene anali mizimu yoyipa, ndiponso anapenyetsa anthu osaona. 22Ndipo Iye anawayankha otumidwawo kuti, “Bwererani ndi kukamuwuza Yohane zimene mwaona ndi kumva: Osaona akuona, olumala akuyenda, akhate akuchiritsidwa, osamva akumva, akufa akuukitsidwa, ndipo Uthenga Wabwino ukulalikidwa kwa osauka. 23Odala munthu amene sakhumudwa chifukwa cha Ine.”
24Anthu otumidwa ndi Yohane aja atachoka, Yesu anayamba kuyankhula ndi gulu la anthu za Yohaneyo kuti, “Kodi munkapita ku chipululu kukaona chiyani? Bango logwedezeka ndi mphepo? 25Ngati si choncho, munkapita kukaona chiyani? Munthu wovala zovala zabwino? Ayi, ovala zovala zodula ndi okhala moyo wapamwamba ali mʼnyumba zaufumu. 26Koma inu munkapita kukaona chiyani? Mneneri? Inde, Ine ndikukuwuzani, woposa mneneri. 27Uyu ndi amene malemba akunena za Iye kuti,
“ ‘Ine ndidzatuma mthenga wanga patsogolo panu,
amene adzakonza njira yanu.’
28Ine ndikukuwuzani kuti pakati pa obadwa kuchokera mwa mkazi palibe wina wamkulu kuposa Yohane; komabe amene ali wamngʼono mu ufumu wa Mulungu ndi wamkulu kuposa iye.”
29Anthu onse, ngakhale amisonkho, atamva mawu a Yesu, anavomereza kuti njira ya Mulungu ndi yolondola, chifukwa anabatizidwa ndi Yohane. 30Koma Afarisi ndi akatswiri amalamulo anakana cholinga cha Mulungu kwa iwo okha, chifukwa sanabatizidwe ndi Yohane.
31“Kodi ndingawafanizire chiyani anthu a mʼbado uno? Ali ngati chiyani? 32Ali ngati ana amene akukangana pa msika, ena akufunsa anzawo kuti,
“ ‘Ife tinakuyimbirani chitoliro,
koma inu simunavine.
Tinakuyimbirani nyimbo zamaliro,
koma inu simunalire.’
33Pakuti Yohane Mʼbatizi sanabwere kudzadya buledi kapena kumwa vinyo, koma inu mumati, ‘Ali ndi chiwanda.’ 34Mwana wa Munthu anabwera nadya ndi kumwa, ndipo inu mukuti, ‘Ali ndi dyera komanso ndi woledzera, bwenzi la amisonkho ndi ochimwa.’ 35Ndipo nzeru zimaoneka zolondola mwa ana ake onse.”
Yesu Adzozedwa ndi Mayi Wochimwa
36Tsopano mmodzi mwa Afarisi anayitana Yesu kuti akadye naye ku nyumba kwake ndipo anapita nakakhala pa tebulo. 37Mayi amene amakhala moyo wauchimo mu mzindawo atadziwa kuti Yesu akudya ku nyumba ya Mfarisiyo, anabweretsa botolo la mafuta onunkhira a alabasta. 38Iye anayimirira kumbuyo kwa Yesu pa mapazi ake akulira, nayamba kumadontheza misozi pa mapazi ake. Ndipo iye anapukuta mapaziwo ndi tsitsi lake, nawapsompsona ndi kuwathira mafuta onunkhirawo.
39Mfarisiyo anamuyitanayo ataona izi, anati mu mtima mwake, “Ngati munthuyu akanakhala mneneri, akanadziwa kuti akumukhudzayo ndi mayi otani, kuti ndi wochimwa.”
40Yesu anamuyankha iye kuti, “Simoni, ndili ndi kanthu koti ndikuwuze.”
Iye anati, “Ndiwuzeni Aphunzitsi.”
41“Anthu awiri anakongola ndalama kwa munthu wina wokongoletsa ndalama: mmodzi ndalama zokwana 500 ndi winayo ndalama makumi asanu. 42Panalibe mmodzi mwa iwo anali ndi ndalama zobwezera, ndipo iye anawakhululukira ngongole zawo. Tsopano ndi ndani mwa awiriwa adzamukonde koposa?”
43Simoni anayankha kuti, “Ndikuganiza kuti ndi amene anamukhululukira ngongole yayikulu.”
Yesu anati, “Wayankha molondola.”
44Kenaka anatembenukira kwa mayiyo nati kwa Simoni, “Ukumuona mayiyu? Ine ndabwera mʼnyumba yako. Iwe sunandipatse madzi otsukira mapazi anga, koma iyeyu wanyowetsa mapazi anga ndi misozi yake ndi kuwapukuta ndi tsitsi lake. 45Iwe sunandipsompsone, koma mayiyu, kuyambira pamene Ine ndalowa, sanaleke kupsompsona mapazi anga. 46Iwe sunadzoze mutu wanga mafuta, koma iye wadzoza mapazi anga mafuta onunkhira. 47Tsono, ndikukuwuza iwe, machimo ake amene ndi ambiri akhululukidwa, monga chaonetsera chikondi chake chachikulu. Koma iye amene wakhululukidwa zochepa amakonda pangʼono.”
48Kenaka anati kwa mayiyo, “Machimo ako akhululukidwa.”
49Alendo enawo anayamba kumanena mʼmitima mwawo kuti, “Uyu ndi ndani amene akhululukiranso machimo?”
50Yesu anati kwa mayiyo, “Chikhulupiriro chako chakupulumutsa. Pita mu mtendere.”
Okukkiriza kw’Omuserikale Omuruumi
17:1 Mat 7:28Awo Yesu bwe yamala okutegeeza abantu ebigambo ebyo byonna n’ayingira mu Kaperunawumu. 2Mu kiseera ekyo, omukulu w’ekitongole ky’abaserikale ekikumi, yalina omuddu we gwe yali ayagala ennyo, yali mulwadde nnyo ng’ali kumpi n’okufa. 3Omukulu w’ekitongole oyo bwe yawulira ebifa ku Yesu, n’atuma abamu ku bakulembeze b’Abayudaaya eri Yesu bamusabe ajje awonye omuddu we. 4Bwe baatuuka eri Yesu ne bamwegayirira nnyo nga bagamba nti, “Omusajja ono asaanira okuyambibwa nga bw’akusabye, 5kubanga ayagala nnyo eggwanga lyaffe, era ye yatuzimbira ne kkuŋŋaaniro lyaffe!” 6Bw’atyo Yesu n’agenda nabo.
Naye Yesu bwe yali akyali mu kkubo nga tannatuuka ku nnyumba, omukulu w’ekitongole n’atuma mikwano gye eri Yesu ng’agamba nti, “Mukama wange, teweeteganya bw’otyo, kubanga nze sisaanira kukusembeza mu nju yange. 77:7 Zab 107:20Era kyenavudde nnema okujja gy’oli nze nzennyini. Naye yogera bwogezi ekigambo, omuweereza wange anaawona! 8Kubanga nange nnina abakulu abantwala, ate waliwo n’abali wansi wange be nninako obuyinza. Bwe ŋŋamba ono nti, ‘Genda,’ agenda, n’omulala nti, ‘Jjangu,’ ajja; n’omuddu wange nti, ‘Kola kino,’ akikola.”
9Yesu bwe yawulira ebigambo ebyo n’amwewuunya nnyo, n’akyukira ekibiina ky’abantu abaali bamugoberera n’agamba nti, “Mbagamba nti sirabanga kukkiriza kunene nga kuno, wadde mu Isirayiri.” 10Awo omukulu w’ekitongole be yatuma eri Yesu bwe baddayo mu nnyumba ye, baasanga omuddu awonye.
Yesu Azuukiza Mutabani wa Nnamwandu
11Awo ku lunaku olwaddirira, Yesu n’agenda n’abayigirizwa be n’ekibiina kinene ne kimugoberera mu kibuga ekiyitibwa Nayini. 12Bwe yali asemberera omulyango gw’ekibuga, laba, abantu ne bafuluma mu kibuga nga beettisse omulambo gw’omuvubuka eyali mutabani w’omukazi nnamwandu, ate nga ye mwana we yekka. Ekibiina ky’abantu abaali bava mu kibuga baali bangi nnyo. 137:13 nny 19; Luk 10:1; 13:15; 17:5; 22:61; 24:34; Yk 11:2Awo Mukama waffe bwe yalaba nnamwandu n’amusaasira, n’amugamba nti, “Tokaaba.”
147:14 Mat 9:25; Mak 1:31; Luk 8:54; Yk 11:43; Bik 9:40N’asemberera essanduuko, abaali bagisitudde ne bayimirira, Yesu n’ayogera nti, “Omuvubuka, nkulagira nti ggolokoka!” 15Eyali afudde n’atuula era n’atandika okwogera. Yesu n’amuddiza nnyina.
167:16 a Luk 1:65 b Mat 9:8 c nny 39; Mat 21:11 d Luk 1:68Buli omu n’ajjula entiisa, ne batendereza Katonda nga bagamba nti, “Nnabbi ow’amaanyi atulabikidde, era Katonda akyalidde abantu be.” 177:17 Mat 9:26Ebigambo ebyo ne bibuna Buyudaaya yonna n’okwetooloola emiriraano gyayo.
Yesu ne Yokaana Omubatiza
187:18 a Mat 3:1 b Luk 5:33Awo abayigirizwa ba Yokaana Omubatiza ne bategeeza Yokaana ebintu ebyo byonna. Yokaana n’ayita abayigirizwa be babiri, 19n’abatuma eri Mukama waffe okumubuuza nti, “Ggwe wuuyo gwe tusuubira okujja, oba tulindirireyo omulala?”
20Abayigirizwa ba Yokaana bwe baatuuka eri Yesu, ne bamutegeeza nti, “Yokaana Omubatiza atutumye okukubuuza nti, Ggwe wuuyo ajja oba tulindirirayo omulala?”
217:21 Mat 4:23Mu kiseera ekyo Yesu n’awonya endwadde nnyingi eza buli ngeri: n’abalema, n’abaaliko emyoyo emibi, n’azibula n’abazibe b’amaaso. 227:22 Is 29:18, 19; 35:5, 6; 61:1, 2; Luk 4:18Abaatumibwa n’abaddamu nti, “Muddeeyo eri Yokaana mumutegeeze byonna bye muwulidde ne bye mulabye. Abazibe b’amaaso bazibulwa amaaso ne balaba, n’abalema batambula, n’abagenge7:22 kiyinza okuba endwadde endala ez’olususu balongoosebwa, n’abaggavu b’amatu gagguka ne bawulira, n’abafu bazuukizibwa, era n’abaavu babuulirwa Enjiri. 23Era alina omukisa oyo atanneesittalako.”
24Awo ababaka ba Yokaana bwe baagenda, Yesu n’abuulira ekibiina ebikwata ku Yokaana. N’ababuuza nti, “Bwe mwagenda mu ddungu, mwagenderera kulaba ki? Olumuli olunyeenyezebwa n’empewo? 25Naye mwagenderera kulaba ki? Omusajja ayambadde engoye ezinekaaneka? Laba abambadde engoye ezinekaaneka, nga babeera mu bulamu bwa kikungu era babeera mu mbiri. 267:26 Mat 11:9Naye mwagenderera kulaba ki? Nnabbi? Weewaawo ka mbabuulire, oyo asinga ne nnabbi. 277:27 Mal 3:1; Mat 11:10; Mak 1:2Y’oyo ebyawandiikibwa gwe byogerako nti,
“ ‘Laba, ntuma omubaka wange okukukulembera,
y’alikuteekerateekera ekkubo lyo mu maaso go.’ ”
287:28 Mat 3:2“Mbagamba nti, mu bantu bonna abaali bazaaliddwa abakazi, tewali mukulu wa kitiibwa kukira Yokaana, naye ate oyo asembayo mu bwakabaka bwa Katonda asinga Yokaana ekitiibwa.”
297:29 Mat 21:32; Mak 1:5; Luk 3:12Abantu bonna, awamu n’abasolooza b’omusolo, bwe baawulira ebigambo bya Yesu ebyo, ne batendereza Katonda, kubanga baali babatiziddwa mu kubatizibwa kwa Yokaana. 307:30 Mat 22:35Naye Abafalisaayo n’abayigiriza b’amateeka ne bagaana ebyo Katonda bye yabategekera, kubanga tebaabatizibwa Yokaana.
Yesu Anenya ab’omu Biseera bye
31Awo Yesu n’abuuza nti, “Abantu ab’omulembe guno mbageraageranye na ki? Bafaanana batya? 32Bafaanana ng’abaana abato abazannya emizannyo gyabwe mu katale, nga bagambagana nti,
“ ‘Bwe twabafuuyira omulere,
temwazina,
Bwe twayimba oluyimba olw’okukungubaga,
temwakungubaga.’
337:33 Luk 1:15Kubanga Yokaana Omubatiza bwe yajja teyalyanga mmere wadde okunywa omwenge, ne mugamba nti, ‘Aliko dayimooni!’ 347:34 Luk 5:29, 30; 15:1, 2Omwana w’Omuntu azze ng’alya emmere era ng’anywa ne mugamba nti, ‘Laba wa mululu era mutamiivu, mukwano gw’abasolooza b’omusolo n’aboonoonyi!’ 35Naye amagezi geeragira mu butuukirivu olw’abaana baago bonna.”
Omukazi Alina Ebibi Asiiga Yesu Amafuta ag’Akaloosa
36Awo omu ku Bafalisaayo n’ayita Yesu ku kijjulo, Yesu n’ayingira mu nnyumba, n’atuula ku mmeeza. 37Awo omukazi ow’omu kibuga ekyo nga mwonoonyi, eyali ategedde nga Yesu ali mu nju eyo ey’Omufalisaayo, n’aleeta eccupa y’amafuta ag’akaloosa. 38N’ayimirira awali Yesu, n’akaaba, amaziga ne gatonnya ku bigere bya Yesu ne bitoba. Omukazi n’abisiimuuza enviiri ze, era n’abinywegera; n’abifukako amafuta ag’akaloosa.
397:39 nny 16; Mat 21:11Naye Omufalisaayo eyayita Yesu, ebyo bwe yabiraba, n’agamba munda ye nti, “Singa omuntu ono abadde nnabbi, yanditegedde omukazi amukwatako kyali era nga bw’ali omwonoonyi!”
40Awo Yesu n’amugamba nti, “Simooni, nnina kye njagala okukubuulira.” Simooni n’addamu nti, “Omuyigiriza, mbuulira.”
41“Waaliwo abantu babiri, omuwozi w’ensimbi be yali abanja. Omu yali amubanja ddinaali ebikumi bitaano, n’omulala ddinaali amakumi ataano. 42Naye ku bombi nga tekuliiko asobola kusasula bbanja lye. Eyali ababanja kwe kubasonyiwa. Kale, ku bombi aluwa alisinga okumwagala?”
43Simooni n’addamu nti, “Ndowooza oyo gwe yasonyiwa ebbanja erisingako obunene.” Yesu n’amugamba nti, “Olamudde bulungi.”
447:44 Lub 18:4; 19:2; 43:24; Bal 19:21; Yk 13:4-14; 1Ti 5:10N’alyoka akyukira omukazi n’agamba Simooni nti, “Omukazi ono omulaba? Bwe nayingidde mu nnyumba yo, tewampadde mazzi ga kunaaba ku bigere byange. Naye abinaazizza n’amaziga ge n’abisiimuula n’enviiri ze. 457:45 Luk 22:47, 48; Bar 16:16Tewannyanirizza na kunnywegera, naye anywegedde ebigere byange emirundi mingi okuva lwe nayingidde. 467:46 Zab 23:5; Mub 9:8Tewansiize mafuta ku mutwe gwange, naye ye asiize ebigere byange amafuta ag’akaloosa. 47Noolwekyo nkutegeeza nti omukazi ono asonyiyiddwa ebibi bye ebingi kubanga okwagala kwe kungi, naye oyo asonyiyibwa ebitono n’okwagala kwe kuba kutono.”
487:48 Mat 9:2Awo Yesu n’agamba omukazi nti, “Osonyiyiddwa ebibi byo.”
49Abo abaali ne Yesu ku mmeza ne beebuuzaganya nti, “Ono ye ani asonyiwa n’ebibi?”
507:50 a Mat 9:22; Mak 5:34; Luk 8:48 b Bik 15:33Yesu n’agamba omukazi nti, “Okukkiriza kwo kukulokodde, genda mirembe.”
