1Lumo oYesu yabbaire awantu ngʼasaba oKibbumba. Oweyamalire, omoiza oku beegibe nʼamukoba ati, “Musengwa, wena otwegesye okusaba, ngʼoYokaana oweyayegeserye abeegibe.” 2Awo oYesu nʼabakoba ati, “Owemubbanga musaba, mukobenge muti:

5Awo nʼabakoba ati, “Singa omoiza kwinywe abba nʼomukaagwawe, kaisi nʼoyaba egyali omu kiire akati nʼomukoba oti, ‘Munange, onkoopeku obusye, 6olwakubba omukaagwa wange azwa okungwaku awo ngʼali omu lugendolwe, neenu mbula ekinamwinula.’ 7Awo kaisi oodi omukaagwawo, nʼairamu ati, ‘Munange mbulanago agakakaduka olwakubba nze mmalire okweigala, era nze nʼabaana bange twegoneire. Kale timpezya kusetuka okukubbeera naire.’ 8Mbakobera nti newankubbaire ngʼabbaire tiyasetuke okumuwa ekintu, neye aira nʼasetuka nʼamuwa kyonakyona ekyataka tirwakubba nti mukaagwawe neye lwʼokumwegairira nʼeiganyi. 9Kale mbakoba nti musabenge, era mwalisuna; munoonienge, era mwalibona; mukonkonenge oku lwigi, era balibaigulirawo, 10olwakubba buli asaba asuna, era oyo anoonia abona, nʼoyo akonkona oku lwigi bamwigulirawo.

11“Era naani kwinywe oiteeye wʼomwana, awa omwanawe ompiri omukifo kya nyanyi ogwabba amusabire,‡ 12ooba amuwa ekiwuuka kidi ekyasaagwa nga iye omwana amusabire igi? 13Aale obanga inywe abakola ebibbibibbi mumaite okuwa abaana baanywe ebirabo ebisa, kaisi oItewaanywe owʼomwigulu tiyalikirawo ino okuwa abo abamusaba oMwoyo oMweru?”

14Lwabbaire lumo oYesu nʼabbinga oku muntu omuzimu gwa bubbubbu. Awo owegwamuzwireku, nʼatandiika okutumula era abantu ababbairewo ni beewunya. 15Neye abamo kwibo ni bakoba bati, “Abbinga emizimu ngʼakolesya bwezye bwa Bberuzebbuli omukulu waagyo.”* 16Nʼabandi ni bamusaba neye nga bamukema, bati abawe akamanyiciryo akalaga kati obwezyebwe buzwa giri Kibbumba.*

17Neye iye oYesu oweyamanyicirye ebiseego byabwe, nʼabakoba ati, “Abantu abʼobwakabaka obumo owebeesalamu obwakabaka bwabwe obwo bujigirika. Era nʼowekibba kisito kyona owekyesalamu kisansukana. 18Inywe mukoba muti mbinga emizimu oku bantu nga nkoleserye bwezye bwa Bberuzebbuli, neye singa oSitaani yena yeerwanisya, obwakabakabwe bubbaawo butya? 19Aale obanga nze mbinga emizimu nga nkolesya bwezye bwa Bberuzebbuli, kaisi abasengereri baanywe ibo babba bagibbinga nga bakolesya bwezye bwani? Kagira ibo balibasalira inywe omusango olwakubba ibo bamaite bati bagibbinga lwa bwezye bwa Kibbumba. 20Neye owekibba kiti mbinga emizimu oku bantu nga nkolesya bwezye bwa Kibbumba, aale obwakabaka bwa Kibbumba bubba atyanu bubabbutukiiremu.

21“Omuntu owʼamaani, aali nʼebyokulwanisya, owaakuuma enyumbaye, ebintubye bibba nakusani. 22Neye amukira amaani obwamulumba era nʼamuyinga, atwala ebyokulwanisya byʼomuntu oyo ebyabbaire yeesiga, era nʼagaba nʼebintu ebyamunyagireku.

23“Kale iye oyo atabba oku luuda lwange, abba mulabe wange, era iye atambeera okusolooja, asalaanica.”*

24OYesu yeeyongeire okubeegesya ati, “Omuzimu oweguzwa oku muntu, gulaaduukira omu bitera, nga gunoonia egigwawuumulira. Neye owegukayaku, awo gukoba guti, ‘Neekangira eginaabbanga.’ 25Kale owegukanga gwaja omuntu oyo ngʼateereire kusani era ngʼali ooti nyumba enjeye era entegeke kusani, 26atyanu awo gwaba ni gusyoma emizimu egindi musanvu egigukiraku obubbibubbi, ni gingira ni gibba omu muntu oyo. Kale ekyo kizweraku embeera yʼomuntu oyo eyʼoluzwanyuma okubba mbiibbi okukiraku eedi eyasookere.”

27Awo oYesu oweyabbaire ngʼakaali atumula ebyo, omukali eyabbaire omu kiziima kyʼabantu ekyabbaire awo, nʼakooka ngʼakoba oYesu ati, “Omukali eyakubyaire, era nʼamabeere agewayonkere nga byʼenkabi!” 28Neye iye oYesu nʼairamu ati, “Tete-so abali eino nʼenkabi niibo abo abawulira ekibono kya Kibbumba era ni bakikoleraku.”

29Kale awo omu kiseera ekyo, abantu bangi ni beeyongera okwaba okukumbaanira awo oYesu egiyabbaire, kaisi era nʼakoba ati, “Abantu bʼomulembe gunu abakola ebibbibibbi, ibo basaba kamanyiciryo, neye mpaawo akenabawa okutoolaku ako aka naabbi Yona.* 30Aale ngʼoYona oweyabbaire ngʼakamanyiciryo eeri abantu bʼe Nineeve, atyo nʼoMwana wa Muntu waayaba okubba eeri abantu bʼomulembe gunu.* 31Okabaka omukali owʼomu kyalo ekiriraine e maserengeta wa Isirairi, yalisetuka ngʼabantu bʼomulembe gunu babasalira omusango, era nʼabalumiriza omusango okubasinga olwakubba yazwire yala ino nʼaiza okuwulisisya ebibono ebyamalabuki ebya kabaka oSulemaani. Neye obone oyo akira oSulemaani ekitiisya ali aanu.* 32Abantu bʼe Nineeve balisetuka ngʼabantu bʼomulembe gunu oKibbumba abasalira omusango, era ni babalumiriza omusango okubasinga olwakubba ibo beenenyere ngʼoYona alaabbire egibali ekibono kya Kibbumba, neye obone oyo akira oYona ali aanu.”*

33OYesu yeeyongeire nʼakoba ati, “Mpaawo muntu akwatisya eitaala kaisi nʼaliteeka ooba nʼalifuunikaku ekiibo, wazira aliteeka ku kikondo kaisi abantu abaingira ni beezya okubona ekitangaala.* 34Era eriisolyo niiryo eitaala lyʼobwomibwo. Kale singa eriisolyo oweribba lyomi, omubirigwo gwonagwona gwizula ekitangaala. Neye oweritabba lyomi, omubirigwo gwonagwona gwizula ndikiirya. 35Kale atyanu weekalikice okubona ooba ngʼekitangaala ekikulimu, ikyo tete tindikiirya. 36Nʼolwekyo singa omubirigwo gwonagwona gwizula ekitangaala kyʼekibono kya Kibbumba anambula kansonda konakona akalimu endikiirya, awo gwalibonecerya nakimo ooti itaala erikumolekera nʼekitangaala.”

37Awo oYesu oweyamaliriirye okwegesya kwebyo, ni wabbaawo oMufalisaayo eyamusabire okwabaku e wuwe okulya. Kale oYesu nʼayaba era nʼaingira okulya oku menza. 38Neye oMufalisaayo oodi amucaazire ni yeewunya okubona ngʼoYesu tasookere kunaabaku mungalo ngʼakaali okulya.

39Awo oMusengwa Yesu nʼamukoba ati, “Inywe aBafalisaayo muli ooti bantu abafaayo kunaabyaku ebikopo nʼamatiba ku ngulu kwonkani neye ngʼomu ntooma mugagi. Kale nywena omu myoyo gyanywe mwizwire buluvu nʼebiseego ebibbibibbi. 40Basirusiru inywe! Oyo iye nago eyabbumbire ebyʼoku ngulu, tiyabbumbire nʼebyʼomu ntooma byona? 41Kale aale mugabire abadoobi ebintu ebyo ebimwasunire olwʼobuluvu, kaisi oolwo ebintu byonabyona byezye okubabbeera birongoole.

42“Wobe! Ala inywe aBafalisaayo, nga mwalaba! Ekyo kityo olwakubba mwekalikica ino era nʼokuwa ni muwa nʼekimo ekyʼeikumi nʼoku birime ebisembayo obutyai ebimukolesya okuwoomesya ebyokulya, kaisi ni mulagajalira nakimo obwenkanya nʼokutaka oKibbumba. Waire nga muli nʼokuwa ekimo kyʼeikumi neye timuli nʼokuleka okukola ebintu ebikulu ebindi bidi ebimulagajaliire.*

43“Wobe! Ala inywe aBafalisaayo, nga mwalaba! Era ekyo kityo olwakubba mutira kutaka bifo bidi ebikiraku ekitiisya omu makumbaaniro, era nʼokubasugirya omu butale.

44“Wobe! Ala inywe nga mwalaba! Era ekyo kityo olwakubba muli ooti magombe agataboneka, ibo abantu agebatambuliraku nga tibamaite ekivundi ekibali kutambulirangaku.”

45Awo omoiza oku bakugu omu byʼaMateeka ga Musa nʼamwiramu ati, “Musomesya, owootumula otyo, obba swena otuzumiiremu.”

46OYesu nʼamwiramu ati, “Wobe! Ala na inywe nywena abakugu omu byʼaMateeka, nga mwalaba! Era ekyo kityo olwakubba mutiika abantu amateeka amakakaali agatakwatika, kaisi inywe nandi kadi kugegeenyaku okubabbeeraku okugakuuma.

47“Wobe! Ala nga inywe mwalaba! Ekyo kityo olwakubba mutandaza amagombe gʼabanaabbi abazeiza baanywe abebaitire aate nga timugondera abanaabbi abo nago ebibeegeserye. 48Era omu ngeri eyo ni mubba nga muli kulaga muti musiima ekyo abazeiza baanywe ekibakolere ekyokwita abanaabbi, kaisi inywe ni mukisiima nʼokutandaza magombe gʼabanaabbi abo nago. 49Nʼolwekyo oKibbumba omu malabukige akoba ati, ‘Nalibatumira abanaabbi nʼabatume era baliitaku abamo, kaisi abandi ni babayiigaania.’ 50Kale kagira inywe abantu bʼomulembe gunu niinywe oKibbumba abaayaba okuvunaana olwʼokufa kwʼabanaabbi bonabona abantu abebaitire kasookeede babbumba ekyalo, 51okuzwera okwAbberi, okutuuka oku Zakaliya iye ogubaitiire akati wʼekyoto nʼekifo ekyeru omu Yeekaalu. Niikyo ekyo ekimbakobera nti omusango ogwo baligubavunaana niinywe abʼomulembe gunu.*

52“Wobe! Ala nga mwalaba inywe abakugu omu byʼaMateeka! Ekyo kityo olwakubba mukaisirye abantu okumanya amazima ga Kibbumba. Mufaanana ooti bantu abali kugotyangawo ekifunguwo ekiigulawo, kaisi nga nywena abananyere timwingira, era nga mukaisya abandi bona okwingira.”

53Awo oYesu nʼazwa omu kifo ekyo nʼayaba. Kaisi awo aBafalisaayo nʼabakugu omu byʼaMateeka ni batandiika okumwakanisyanga ino nʼokumukiiya era nʼokumusonsekanga ebibuulyo byʼokumo kumo bati atumule oku bintu ebindi bingi, 54nga bamutega okumukwatisya omu bibonobye kaisi beezye okumuvunaana.
