Yesu Atuma Ekkumi n’Ababiri

(A)Awo olunaku lwali lumu Yesu n’ayita abayigirizwa be ekkumi n’ababiri bonna awamu, n’abawa obuyinza okugoba baddayimooni ku bantu n’okuwonya endwadde. (B)N’abawa obuyinza n’abatuma bagende bategeeze abantu ebigambo by’obwakabaka bwa Katonda era bawonye n’abalwadde. (C)N’abalagira nti, “Temwetwalira kintu kyonna nga mugenda, wadde omuggo, oba ensawo, oba emmere, wadde ffeeza wadde essaati ebbiri. Na buli nnyumba mwe muyingiranga, mubeerenga omwo, era mwe muba muvanga. (D)Bwe muyingiranga mu kibuga, abantu baamu ne batabaaniriza, mubaviirenga, era bwe mubanga mufuluma mu kibuga ekyo mukunkumulanga enfuufu ku bigere byammwe, ebe omujulirwa eri bo.” Ne bagenda nga bava mu kibuga ekimu nga badda mu kirala, nga babuulira Enjiri buli wamu era nga bawonya.

Kerode Asoberwa

(E)Awo Kerode eyali afuga Ggaliraaya bwe yawulira ebintu ebyo byonna, n’asoberwa, kubanga abantu abamu baali bagamba nti, “Yokaana azuukidde mu bafu,” (F)n’abalala nti, “Eriya yali alabise,” n’abalala nti, “Omu ku bannabbi ab’edda azuukidde mu bafu.” (G)Naye Kerode ne yeebuuza nti, “Yokaana namutemako omutwe; naye ate kale ono ye ani gwe mpulirako ebigambo bino byonna?” N’ayagala okulaba Yesu.

Yesu Aliisa Abantu Enkumi Ettaano

10 (H)Awo abatume bwe baakomawo ne bategeeza Yesu bye baakola. Yesu n’abatwala mu kyama ne bagenda bokka mu kibuga ekiyitibwa Besusayida. 11 (I)Naye ebibiina bwe baakitegeera ne kimugoberera. Yesu n’abaaniriza, n’abayigiriza ebigambo ebikwata ku bwakabaka bwa Katonda, n’abaali abalwadde n’abawonya.

12 Obudde bwe bwawungeera abayigirizwa ekkumi n’ababiri ne bajja gy’ali ne bamugamba nti, “Abantu bagambe bagende mu bibuga ebyetoolodde wano ne mu byalo beefunire we banaafuna ku mmere n’okusula, kubanga wano tuli mu ttale jjereere.”

13 Yesu n’abaddamu nti, “Mmwe mubawe ekyokulya!”

Abayigirizwa be ne bamuddamu nti, “Wano tulinawo emigaati etaano gyokka n’ebyennyanja bibiri, mpozi nga tugenda tugulire abantu bano bonna emmere.” 14 Waaliwo abasajja ng’enkumi ttaano. Naye Yesu n’agamba abayigirizwa be nti, “Mutuuze abantu mu bibiina by’abantu ng’amakumi ataano buli kimu.” 15 Abayigirizwa ne bakola bwe batyo, bonna ne batuula. 16 (J)Awo Yesu n’addira emigaati etaano n’ebyennyanja ebibiri n’atunula eri eggulu, ne yeebaza, n’amenyaamenya emigaati n’ebyennyanja, n’awa abayigirizwa be bagabule abantu. 17 Bonna ne balya ne bakkuta, era obutundutundu obwalema bwe bwakuŋŋaanyizibwa ne bujjuza ebisero kkumi na bibiri.

Peetero Ayatula nti Yesu ye Kristo

18 (K)Lwali lumu Yesu bwe yali ng’asaba yekka kyokka nga n’abayigirizwa be bali awo, n’ababuuza nti, “Ebibiina bimpita ani?” 19 (L)Ne baddamu nti, “Abamu bagamba nti Yokaana Omubatiza, abalala nti Eriya, ate nga waliwo abagamba nti omu ku bannabbi ab’edda y’azuukidde.”

20 (M)Yesu kwe kubabuuza nti, “Naye mmwe mumpita ani?”

Peetero n’addamu nti, “Ggwe Kristo wa Katonda.”

21 (N)Awo Yesu n’abakuutira, ng’abalagira obutakitegeezaako muntu yenna, 22 (O)n’abategeeza nti, “Kigwanidde, Omwana w’Omuntu, okubonaabona ennyo, n’okugaanibwa abakulembeze b’Abayudaaya, ne bakabona abakulu, n’abannyonnyozi b’amateeka, n’okuttibwa, naye ku lunaku olwokusatu okuzuukizibwa!”

23 (P)Era bonna n’abagamba nti, “Omuntu yenna ayagala okungoberera asaana yeefiirize yekka yeetikke omusaalaba gwe buli lunaku, angoberere! 24 (Q)Kubanga buli ayagala okulokola obulamu bwe, alibufiirwa. Na buli alifiirwa obulamu bwe ku lwange alibulokola. 25 Kubanga omuntu kirimugasa ki okulya ensi yonna, naye n’afiirwa obulamu bwe? 26 (R)Buli alinkwatirwa ensonyi, nze n’ebigambo byange, n’Omwana w’Omuntu, alimukwatirwa ensonyi, bw’alijja mu kitiibwa kye ne mu kya Kitaawe ne mu kya bamalayika abatukuvu.

27 “Naye ddala ddala mbagamba nti abamu ku abo abayimiridde wano waliwo abatalirega ku kufa okutuusa nga bamaze okulaba obwakabaka bwa Katonda.”

Okufuusibwa

28 (S)Awo nga wayiseewo ng’ennaku munaana, Yesu n’atwala Peetero ne Yokaana ne Yakobo ne bambuka ku lusozi okusaba. 29 Bwe yali ng’asaba endabika y’amaaso ge n’ekyusibwa, ebyambalo bye ne byeruka ne bitukula nnyo era ne byakaayakana. 30 Awo abantu babiri ne balabika nga banyumya ne Yesu, omu yali Musa n’omulala Eriya, 31 (T)abaali bamasamasa mu kitiibwa kyabwe nga boogera ku kufa kwa Yesu, kwe yali agenda okutuukiriza mu Yerusaalemi. 32 (U)Peetero ne banne otulo twali tubakutte era nga beebase, Bwe baazuukuka ne balaba ekitiibwa kya Yesu n’abantu ababiri abaali bayimiridde naye. 33 (V)Awo Musa ne Eriya bwe baali bagenda, Peetero nga tamanyi ne kyayogera, n’agamba nti, “Mukama wange kirungi ffe okubeera wano. Ka tuzimbe wano ensiisira ssatu, emu yiyo, endala ya Musa n’endala ya Eriya!”

34 Naye yali akyayogera ebyo ekire ne kibabikka, abayigirizwa ne bajjula okutya nga kibasaanikidde. 35 (W)Eddoboozi ne liva mu kire ne ligamba nti, “Ono ye Mwana wange, gwe nneeroboza, mumuwulirize!” 36 (X)Eddoboozi bwe lyasiriikirira, Yesu n’asigalawo yekka. Abayigirizwa abo bye baalaba ne bye baawulira ne babikuuma mu mitima gyabwe, ne batabibuulirako muntu yenna mu kiseera ekyo.

Yesu Awonya Omwana Eyaliko Dayimooni

37 Awo enkeera bwe baakomawo nga bava ku lusozi, ekibiina ekinene ne kijja okusisinkana Yesu. 38 Omusajja eyali mu kibiina n’ayogerera waggulu ng’agamba nti, “Omuyigiriza, nkwegayiridde tunula ku mutabani wange ono kubanga yekka gwe nnina. 39 Kubanga ddayimooni buli bbanga amukwata n’amuwowogganya, era n’amukankanya n’abimba ejjovu n’amusuula eri era tayagala kumuleka, amumaliramu ddala amaanyi. 40 Neegayiridde abayigirizwa bo bamumugobeko, naye ne batasobola.”

41 (Y)Awo Yesu n’addamu nti, “Mmwe omulembe ogutakkiriza era ogwakyama, ndibeera nammwe kutuusa ddi? Era ndibagumiikiriza kutuusa ddi? Leeta wano omwana wo.”

42 Omulenzi bwe yali ajja eri Yesu dayimooni n’amusuula wansi n’amukankanya nnyo. Yesu n’aboggolera omwoyo omubi n’awonya omwana, n’amuddiza kitaawe. 43 Abantu bonna ne beewuunya obuyinza bwa Katonda. Awo buli muntu bwe yali akyewuunya eby’ekitalo ebyo Yesu bye yali akola, n’agamba abayigirizwa be nti, 44 (Z)“Muwulirize nnyo kye ŋŋenda okubagamba. Omwana w’Omuntu, agenda kuliibwamu olukwe.” 45 (AA)Naye abayigirizwa tebaategeera ky’agambye n’amakulu gaakyo. Kubanga kyali kibakwekebbwa, baleme okutegeera ate nga batya okukimubuuza.

46 (AB)Awo empaka ne zisituka mu bayigirizwa ba Yesu, nga bawakanira aliba omukulu mu bo. 47 (AC)Naye Yesu bwe yategeera ebirowoozo byabwe n’addira omwana omuto n’amuyimiriza w’ali. 48 (AD)N’abagamba nti, “Buli muntu asembeza omwana ono omuto mu linnya lyange ng’asembezezza Nze, na buli ansembeza aba asembezezza oyo eyantuma. Oyo asembayo okuba owa wansi mu mmwe, ye mukulu okubasinga.”

49 (AE)Awo Yokaana n’agamba Yesu nti, “Mukama waffe, twalaba omuntu ng’agoba baddayimooni mu linnya lyo ne tugezaako okumuziyiza kubanga tayita naffe.”

50 (AF)Naye Yesu n’amuddamu nti, “Temumuziyizanga kubanga oyo atalwana nammwe abeera ku ludda lwammwe.”

51 (AG)Awo ekiseera eky’okulinnya kwe mu ggulu bwe kyali kisembedde, n’amalirira okugenda e Yerusaalemi. 52 (AH)N’atuma ababaka mu maaso ne balaga mu kibuga ky’Abasamaliya okumutegekera. 53 Naye abantu b’eyo ne batamwaniriza, kubanga yali amaliridde okulaga mu Yerusaalemi. 54 (AI)Abayigirizwa Yakobo ne Yokaana bwe baakiraba ne babuuza Yesu nti, “Mukama waffe, tuyite omuliro okuva mu ggulu gubazikirize?” 55 Naye Yesu n’akyuka n’abanenya. 56 Ne bagenda mu kabuga akalala.

57 (AJ)Awo bwe baali bali mu kkubo omu ku bo n’amugamba nti, “Nnaakugobereranga wonna w’onoogendanga.”

58 (AK)Yesu n’amugamba nti, “Ebibe birina obunnya bwabyo mwe bisula, n’ennyonyi zirina ebisu, naye Omwana w’Omuntu, talina kifo kya kuwumulizaamu mutwe gwe.”

59 (AL)N’agamba omusajja omulala nti, “Ngoberera.”

Omusajja n’addamu nti, “Mukama wange, nzikiriza mmale okugenda okuziika kitange.”

60 (AM)Yesu n’amugamba nti, “Leka abafu baziike abafu baabwe, naye ggwe genda olangirire obwakabaka bwa Katonda.”

61 (AN)N’omulala n’agamba Yesu nti, “Nnaakugobereranga Mukama wange. Naye sooka ondeke mmale okusiibula ab’omu maka gange.”

62 Naye Yesu n’amuddamu nti, “Omuntu yenna akwata ekyuma ekirima mu ngalo ze ate n’atunula emabega, tasaanira bwakabaka bwa Katonda.”

Jesus Sends Out the Twelve(A)(B)

When Jesus had called the Twelve together, he gave them power and authority to drive out all demons(C) and to cure diseases,(D) and he sent them out to proclaim the kingdom of God(E) and to heal the sick. He told them: “Take nothing for the journey—no staff, no bag, no bread, no money, no extra shirt.(F) Whatever house you enter, stay there until you leave that town. If people do not welcome you, leave their town and shake the dust off your feet as a testimony against them.”(G) So they set out and went from village to village, proclaiming the good news and healing people everywhere.

Now Herod(H) the tetrarch heard about all that was going on. And he was perplexed because some were saying that John(I) had been raised from the dead,(J) others that Elijah had appeared,(K) and still others that one of the prophets of long ago had come back to life.(L) But Herod said, “I beheaded John. Who, then, is this I hear such things about?” And he tried to see him.(M)

Jesus Feeds the Five Thousand(N)(O)

10 When the apostles(P) returned, they reported to Jesus what they had done. Then he took them with him and they withdrew by themselves to a town called Bethsaida,(Q) 11 but the crowds learned about it and followed him. He welcomed them and spoke to them about the kingdom of God,(R) and healed those who needed healing.

12 Late in the afternoon the Twelve came to him and said, “Send the crowd away so they can go to the surrounding villages and countryside and find food and lodging, because we are in a remote place here.”

13 He replied, “You give them something to eat.”

They answered, “We have only five loaves of bread and two fish—unless we go and buy food for all this crowd.” 14 (About five thousand men were there.)

But he said to his disciples, “Have them sit down in groups of about fifty each.” 15 The disciples did so, and everyone sat down. 16 Taking the five loaves and the two fish and looking up to heaven, he gave thanks and broke them.(S) Then he gave them to the disciples to distribute to the people. 17 They all ate and were satisfied, and the disciples picked up twelve basketfuls of broken pieces that were left over.

Peter Declares That Jesus Is the Messiah(T)(U)

18 Once when Jesus was praying(V) in private and his disciples were with him, he asked them, “Who do the crowds say I am?”

19 They replied, “Some say John the Baptist;(W) others say Elijah; and still others, that one of the prophets of long ago has come back to life.”(X)

20 “But what about you?” he asked. “Who do you say I am?”

Peter answered, “God’s Messiah.”(Y)

Jesus Predicts His Death

21 Jesus strictly warned them not to tell this to anyone.(Z) 22 And he said, “The Son of Man(AA) must suffer many things(AB) and be rejected by the elders, the chief priests and the teachers of the law,(AC) and he must be killed(AD) and on the third day(AE) be raised to life.”(AF)

23 Then he said to them all: “Whoever wants to be my disciple must deny themselves and take up their cross daily and follow me.(AG) 24 For whoever wants to save their life will lose it, but whoever loses their life for me will save it.(AH) 25 What good is it for someone to gain the whole world, and yet lose or forfeit their very self? 26 Whoever is ashamed of me and my words, the Son of Man will be ashamed of them(AI) when he comes in his glory and in the glory of the Father and of the holy angels.(AJ)

27 “Truly I tell you, some who are standing here will not taste death before they see the kingdom of God.”

The Transfiguration(AK)

28 About eight days after Jesus said this, he took Peter, John and James(AL) with him and went up onto a mountain to pray.(AM) 29 As he was praying, the appearance of his face changed, and his clothes became as bright as a flash of lightning. 30 Two men, Moses and Elijah, appeared in glorious splendor, talking with Jesus. 31 They spoke about his departure,[a](AN) which he was about to bring to fulfillment at Jerusalem. 32 Peter and his companions were very sleepy,(AO) but when they became fully awake, they saw his glory and the two men standing with him. 33 As the men were leaving Jesus, Peter said to him, “Master,(AP) it is good for us to be here. Let us put up three shelters—one for you, one for Moses and one for Elijah.” (He did not know what he was saying.)

34 While he was speaking, a cloud appeared and covered them, and they were afraid as they entered the cloud. 35 A voice came from the cloud, saying, “This is my Son, whom I have chosen;(AQ) listen to him.”(AR) 36 When the voice had spoken, they found that Jesus was alone. The disciples kept this to themselves and did not tell anyone at that time what they had seen.(AS)

Jesus Heals a Demon-Possessed Boy(AT)

37 The next day, when they came down from the mountain, a large crowd met him. 38 A man in the crowd called out, “Teacher, I beg you to look at my son, for he is my only child. 39 A spirit seizes him and he suddenly screams; it throws him into convulsions so that he foams at the mouth. It scarcely ever leaves him and is destroying him. 40 I begged your disciples to drive it out, but they could not.”

41 “You unbelieving and perverse generation,”(AU) Jesus replied, “how long shall I stay with you and put up with you? Bring your son here.”

42 Even while the boy was coming, the demon threw him to the ground in a convulsion. But Jesus rebuked the impure spirit, healed the boy and gave him back to his father. 43 And they were all amazed at the greatness of God.

Jesus Predicts His Death a Second Time

While everyone was marveling at all that Jesus did, he said to his disciples, 44 “Listen carefully to what I am about to tell you: The Son of Man is going to be delivered into the hands of men.”(AV) 45 But they did not understand what this meant. It was hidden from them, so that they did not grasp it,(AW) and they were afraid to ask him about it.

46 An argument started among the disciples as to which of them would be the greatest.(AX) 47 Jesus, knowing their thoughts,(AY) took a little child and had him stand beside him. 48 Then he said to them, “Whoever welcomes this little child in my name welcomes me; and whoever welcomes me welcomes the one who sent me.(AZ) For it is the one who is least among you all who is the greatest.”(BA)

49 “Master,”(BB) said John, “we saw someone driving out demons in your name and we tried to stop him, because he is not one of us.”

50 “Do not stop him,” Jesus said, “for whoever is not against you is for you.”(BC)

Samaritan Opposition

51 As the time approached for him to be taken up to heaven,(BD) Jesus resolutely set out for Jerusalem.(BE) 52 And he sent messengers on ahead, who went into a Samaritan(BF) village to get things ready for him; 53 but the people there did not welcome him, because he was heading for Jerusalem. 54 When the disciples James and John(BG) saw this, they asked, “Lord, do you want us to call fire down from heaven to destroy them[b]?”(BH) 55 But Jesus turned and rebuked them. 56 Then he and his disciples went to another village.

The Cost of Following Jesus(BI)

57 As they were walking along the road,(BJ) a man said to him, “I will follow you wherever you go.”

58 Jesus replied, “Foxes have dens and birds have nests, but the Son of Man(BK) has no place to lay his head.”

59 He said to another man, “Follow me.”(BL)

But he replied, “Lord, first let me go and bury my father.”

60 Jesus said to him, “Let the dead bury their own dead, but you go and proclaim the kingdom of God.”(BM)

61 Still another said, “I will follow you, Lord; but first let me go back and say goodbye to my family.”(BN)

62 Jesus replied, “No one who puts a hand to the plow and looks back is fit for service in the kingdom of God.”
