Olugero lw’Omusizi
4 (A)Ate era n’atandika okuyigiriza ku lubalama lw’ennyanja. Ekibiina ky’abantu kinene nnyo ne bakuŋŋaana okumwetooloola. Kyeyava alinnya mu lyato n’ayigiriza ng’atudde omwo. 2 (B)Yabayigirizanga ebintu bingi mu ngero. N’abayigiriza ng’agamba nti, 3 (C)“Muwulirize. Waaliwo omulimi eyafuluma okusiga ensigo. 4 Bwe yali ng’azimansa ng’asiga mu nnimiro, ezimu ne zigwa ku mabbali g’ekkubo ennyonyi ne zijja ne zizirya. 5 N’endala ne zigwa ku ttaka ery’ekyaziyazi awatali ttaka lingi, ezo ne zimera mangu kubanga tezaali mu ttaka gwanvu. 6 Awo omusana bwe gwayaka ne zikalirawo, kubanga emirandira gyali kungulu. 7 Endala ne zigwa mu maggwa. Awo ensigo ne zikula kyokka amaggwa ne gazitta ne zitabala bibala. 8 (D)Endala ne zigwa ku ttaka eddungi, ezo ne zibala ebibala, ezimu emirundi amakumi asatu, endala emirundi nkaaga, n’endala kikumi.”
9 (E)N’abagamba nti, “Oyo alina amatu agawulira awulire.”
10 Awo bwe yasigala yekka, abayigirizwa be ekkumi n’ababiri n’abantu abalala, ne bamubuuza amakulu g’engero ezo ze yabagerera. 11 (F)Yesu n’abagamba nti, “Mmwe muweereddwa omukisa okumanya ekyama ekifa ku bwakabaka bwa Katonda ekyakisibwa abantu abalala abali ebweru waabwo.”
12 (G)“Balaba bulabi naye nga tebeetegereza,
era n’okuwulira bawulira naye tebategeera,
si kulwa nga bakyuka ne basonyiyibwa.”
13 “Kale obanga temutegedde makulu ga lugero luno olwangu bwe luti mulitegeera mutya endala ze ŋŋenda okweyambisa nga njigiriza? 14 (H)Omusizi asiga ekigambo y’asiga. 15 (I)Ate ensigo ezaagwa ku mabbali g’ekkubo, be bawulira ekigambo, amangwago Setaani n’ajja n’akibatwalako. 16 Ate ensigo ezaagwa ku byaziyazi, gy’emitima gy’abantu abawulira ekigambo amangwago ne bakyaniriza n’essanyu. 17 Naye tebalina mirandira, babeera bulungi okusooka, naye olutuukibwako ebizibu oba okuyigganyizibwa olw’ekigambo amangwago babivaako. 18 Ate endala ezaagwa mu maggwa, be bawulira ekigambo, 19 (J)naye okweraliikirira n’okusikirizibwa eby’obugagga n’okwegomba ebintu ebirala, bizikiriza ekigambo ne kitabala bibala. 20 Ettaka eddungi gy’emitima gy’abantu abawulira ekigambo ne bakkiririza ddala era ne bavaamu ebibala, emirundi amakumi asatu, abalala emirundi nkaaga, n’abalala kikumi.”
21 (K)Awo Yesu n’ababuuza nti, “Waliwo omuntu akoleeza ettaala n’agivuunikako ekibbo oba n’agiteeka wansi w’ekitanda? Naye omuntu bw’akoleeza ettaala tagiteeka ku kikondo waggulu? 22 (L)Kubanga buli kintu kyonna ekikolebwa mu kyama kaakano, ekiseera kirituuka ne kiragibwa mu lwatu. 23 (M)Alina amatu agawulira awulire. 24 (N)Naye mwegendereze ebyo bye mbayigiriza. 25 (O)Alina aliweebwa na buli atalina aliggyibwako n’ebyo by’alina.”
Olugero lw’Ensigo Ekula
26 (P)Awo Yesu n’abagamba nti, “Obwakabaka bwa Katonda bufaanaanyirizibwa n’omusizi asiga ensigo mu ttaka. 27 Ekiro yeebaka, n’emisana ne yeekolera by’ayagala, mu kiseera ekyo kyonna ensigo ziba zimera, naye ate nga takimanyi. 28 Ku bwalyo ettaka lireeta ekibala. Ensigo zisooka kusindika bulimi bwazo okuva mu ttaka, amatabi ne gajjako ebirimba by’eŋŋaano. 29 (Q)Eŋŋaano bw’eyengera omusizi ayanguwa mangu n’akwata akayuuyo, kubanga amakungula gatuuse.”
30 (R)Awo Yesu n’ayongera n’abagamba nti, “Obwakabaka bwa Katonda tunaabugeraageranya na ki? Oba tukozese lugero ki okubunnyonnyola? 31 Bufaananyizibwa n’akasigo aka kaladaali! Kubanga newaakubadde katono nnyo okusinga ensigo zonna ez’oku nsi, 32 naye kavaamu omuti omunene nga gulina amatabi amanene, ennyonyi ez’omu bbanga mwe ziyinza okuzimba ebisu byazo.”
33 (S)Yesu n’abuulira abantu ekigambo kya Katonda ng’akozesa engero nnyingi ezifaanana ng’ezo, nga bwe baasobolanga okuwulira. 34 (T)Yesu bwe yabanga ayigiriza ebibiina yakozesanga engero, naye bwe yaddanga ebbali n’abayigirizwa be n’abannyonnyola amakulu agali mu ngero ezo.
Yesu Akkakkanya Omuyaga
35 Ku lunaku olwo obudde nga buwungedde Yesu n’agamba abayigirizwa be nti, “Tuwunguke tulage emitala.” 36 (U)N’aleka awo ekibiina, abayigirizwa be ne balinnya mu lyato Yesu mwe yali ne bagenda naye. Abantu abamu ne babagobera mu maato agaabwe. 37 Amangwago omuyaga mungi nnyo ne gukunta n’amayengo amagulumivu ne geeyiwa mu lyato ne libulako katono okujjula amazzi. 38 Yesu yali agalamidde emabega mu lyato nga yeezizise omutto yeebase. Awo abayigirizwa be ne bamuzuukusa nga bagamba nti, “Omuyigiriza, ggwe tofaayo nga ffenna tugenda okusaanawo?”
39 N’azuukuka n’aboggolera omuyaga n’agamba ennyanja nti, “Tteeka, sirika.” Omuyaga ne gusirika n’ennyanja n’eteekera ddala.
40 (V)N’ababuuza nti, “Lwaki mutidde? Temunnaba kubeera na kukkiriza?”
41 Ne batya nnyo, ne beebuuza nti, “Ono ye ani, embuyaga n’ennyanja gwe bigondera?”

The Parable of the Sower(A)(B)
4 Again Jesus began to teach by the lake.(C) The crowd that gathered around him was so large that he got into a boat and sat in it out on the lake, while all the people were along the shore at the water’s edge. 2 He taught them many things by parables,(D) and in his teaching said: 3 “Listen! A farmer went out to sow his seed.(E) 4 As he was scattering the seed, some fell along the path, and the birds came and ate it up. 5 Some fell on rocky places, where it did not have much soil. It sprang up quickly, because the soil was shallow. 6 But when the sun came up, the plants were scorched, and they withered because they had no root. 7 Other seed fell among thorns, which grew up and choked the plants, so that they did not bear grain. 8 Still other seed fell on good soil. It came up, grew and produced a crop, some multiplying thirty, some sixty, some a hundred times.”(F)
9 Then Jesus said, “Whoever has ears to hear, let them hear.”(G)
10 When he was alone, the Twelve and the others around him asked him about the parables. 11 He told them, “The secret of the kingdom of God(H) has been given to you. But to those on the outside(I) everything is said in parables 12 so that,
“‘they may be ever seeing but never perceiving,
and ever hearing but never understanding;
otherwise they might turn and be forgiven!’[a]”(J)
13 Then Jesus said to them, “Don’t you understand this parable? How then will you understand any parable? 14 The farmer sows the word.(K) 15 Some people are like seed along the path, where the word is sown. As soon as they hear it, Satan(L) comes and takes away the word that was sown in them. 16 Others, like seed sown on rocky places, hear the word and at once receive it with joy. 17 But since they have no root, they last only a short time. When trouble or persecution comes because of the word, they quickly fall away. 18 Still others, like seed sown among thorns, hear the word; 19 but the worries of this life, the deceitfulness of wealth(M) and the desires for other things come in and choke the word, making it unfruitful. 20 Others, like seed sown on good soil, hear the word, accept it, and produce a crop—some thirty, some sixty, some a hundred times what was sown.”
A Lamp on a Stand
21 He said to them, “Do you bring in a lamp to put it under a bowl or a bed? Instead, don’t you put it on its stand?(N) 22 For whatever is hidden is meant to be disclosed, and whatever is concealed is meant to be brought out into the open.(O) 23 If anyone has ears to hear, let them hear.”(P)
24 “Consider carefully what you hear,” he continued. “With the measure you use, it will be measured to you—and even more.(Q) 25 Whoever has will be given more; whoever does not have, even what they have will be taken from them.”(R)
The Parable of the Growing Seed
26 He also said, “This is what the kingdom of God is like.(S) A man scatters seed on the ground. 27 Night and day, whether he sleeps or gets up, the seed sprouts and grows, though he does not know how. 28 All by itself the soil produces grain—first the stalk, then the head, then the full kernel in the head. 29 As soon as the grain is ripe, he puts the sickle to it, because the harvest has come.”(T)
The Parable of the Mustard Seed(U)
30 Again he said, “What shall we say the kingdom of God is like,(V) or what parable shall we use to describe it? 31 It is like a mustard seed, which is the smallest of all seeds on earth. 32 Yet when planted, it grows and becomes the largest of all garden plants, with such big branches that the birds can perch in its shade.”
33 With many similar parables Jesus spoke the word to them, as much as they could understand.(W) 34 He did not say anything to them without using a parable.(X) But when he was alone with his own disciples, he explained everything.
Jesus Calms the Storm(Y)
35 That day when evening came, he said to his disciples, “Let us go over to the other side.” 36 Leaving the crowd behind, they took him along, just as he was, in the boat.(Z) There were also other boats with him. 37 A furious squall came up, and the waves broke over the boat, so that it was nearly swamped. 38 Jesus was in the stern, sleeping on a cushion. The disciples woke him and said to him, “Teacher, don’t you care if we drown?”
39 He got up, rebuked the wind and said to the waves, “Quiet! Be still!” Then the wind died down and it was completely calm.
40 He said to his disciples, “Why are you so afraid? Do you still have no faith?”(AA)
41 They were terrified and asked each other, “Who is this? Even the wind and the waves obey him!”
