OYesu nʼoYokaana oMubatizi
(Luk 7:18-35)
1Awo, oYesu oweyamalire okwegesya abeegibe eikumi na babiri, nʼazwa omu kifo ekyo, nʼayaba okwegesya nʼokulaabba eeri abantu abʼomu bibuga byʼomu Galiraaya.
2Atyanu oYokaana oMubatizi oweyabbaire omu mabbuusu nʼawulira ebintu oKurisito ebyakola, kale nʼatuma abeegibe okwaba 3okubuulya oYesu bati, “Niiwe oKibbumba oguyasuubizire okutuma okwiza okununula abantu, ooba tukuumirire gondi?”
4Awo oYesu nʼabairamu ati, “Mukange era mumukobere ebimuwuliire nʼebimuboine. 5Ababbaire aboofu babona, ababbaire abaleme batambula, abagenge balama, ababbaire abamasiipe bawulira, abafu bazuukira, nʼabadoobi bona basuna enkabi gyʼokuwulira aMawuliro aMasa. 6Ali nʼenkabi omuntu oyo atambuusabuusamu.”
7Abakwenda ba Yokaana owebabbaire nga bazwawo, oYesu nʼatandiika okubuulya ekiziima kyʼabantu ebikwata oku Yokaana ati, “Owemwabire egiri oYokaana omu kitera, mwasuubiire kubona muntu afaanana atya? Mwamwajiirye ngʼomuntu omugondi ooti lugada olutengeeta nabuli ompunga owaafuwa? 8Ooba nga tikiikyo, mwasuubiire kubona muntu afaanana atya? Muntu azwaire ebizwalo ebyebbeeyi? Kadi tiyabbaire atyo, olwakubba abazwala ebizwalo ebyebbeeyi babba mu bisito bya bakabaka. 9Aale kale mwabire okubona oYokaana olwakubba yabbaire naabbi? Ekinanyerenyeere nabakobera nʼokubakobera nti yabbaire akiraku okubba naabbi. 10OYokaana oyo, niiye eBiwandiike ogubitumulaku biti:
‘Aale obone, ntuma omukwenda wange
akwekubbembere, okukwewulirya enzira egyoyaba.’ ”
11Era ni yeeyongera ati, “Mbakobera amazima nti, kasookeede abantu babba oku kyalo kunu mpaawo muntu akira oYokaana ekitiisya. Neye Iye oKibbumba abala oyo amusemberya omu bwomibwe, waire nga niiye abantu ogubanyooma omu bwakabaka bwʼomwigulu, okubba akira oYokaana oyo ekitiisya ekyalimu. 12Era okuzwa omu kiseera oYokaana oMubatizi oweyatandiikiire okulaabba paka atyanu, obwakabaka bwʼomwigulu babulwanisya nʼamaani, era abantu baazya nʼamaani okubwingiramu. 13Ekyo kityo olwakubba abanaabbi bonabona nʼaMateeka ga Musa balagwire oku bwakabaka bwʼomwigulu paka oYokaana oweyatandiikire okulaabba. 14Era owoobbanga otaka okwikirirya ekyo, oYokaana niiye onaabbi oguyatumwireku oweyakobere ati, ‘Eyaliiza ali ooti Eriya.’ 15Aale omuntu aliku amatwi agawulira, awulisisye era ategeere ekintumula.”
16OYesu nʼayongera okukoba ababbaire bamuwulisisya ati, “Abantu abʼomulembe gunu nʼabagerya kuuki? Bafaanana ooti baana abatobato, abazeenya omuzeenyo omu kisaawe abantu okubabona. Batyo nga beezulugumira abanaabwe bati:
17‘Twabafuwiire emirere omu wembo obusa,
neye nandi mubina;
kale ni twemba enyembo gyʼenima neye nandi mukunga.’
18“Ekyo kityo olwakubba oYokaana oMubatizi yabbaire talya ebyokulya ebya buliijo waire kunywa nviinyo, mwakobere muti, ‘Aliku omuzimu!’ 19Tete zena oMwana wa Muntu ndya ebyokulya era nnywa enviinyo era munkoba muti, ‘Omuntu oyo wa gukobbo, era muteemeere, kaisi mukaagwa wa basolooji ba musolo nʼabakola ebibbibibbi.’ Neye abantu abo bonabona abakolera oku malabuki ga Kibbumba, bakakasa bati matuuce.”
Okulabula abantu olwʼokuteenenya
(Luk 10:13-15)
20Awo oYesu nʼatandiika okunenya abantu bʼomu bibuga ebiyakoleiremu ebyewunyo ebikira obungi, olwakubba abo tibeenenyere. 21Awo nʼakoba ati, “Wobe! Ala inywe abantu abʼomu kibuga ekyʼe Kolaziini nʼekyʼe Bbesusaida nga mulabire! Kiri kityo olwakubba ebyewunyo ebibakolere mwinywe singa babbaire babikolere mu kibuga ekyʼe Tiiro nʼekyʼomu Sidoni, abantu baayo nga beenenyere era ni bazwala nʼebikotiya, nʼokwepuuda eikoke okulagisya bati beenenyere. 22Neye mbakobera nti oku lunaku olwʼokusaliraku emisango, abantu bʼomu Tiiro nʼomu Sidoni balisuna ekibonerezo ekiri gwai gwai oku kyanywe. 23Kaisi oolwo inywe abantu bʼe Kaperenawumu, inywe niinywe abebaligulumalya okutuuka omwigulu? Ala kadi, era oKibbumba ayaba kubasindika mu geyeena. Ekyo kityo olwakubba ebyewunyo eira ebibakolere mwinywe, singa babbaire babikolere mu kibuga Sodoma, ekibuga ekyo kyandibbaire kikaali kiriwo paka nʼatyanu. 24Neye mbakobera nti oku lunaku olwʼokusaliraku emisango, abantu bʼomu Sodoma balisuna ekibonerezo ekiri gwai gwai oku kyanywe.”
Mwize egyendi era musune ekiwuumulo
(Luk 10:21-22)
25Awo omu kiseera ekyo oYesu nʼakoba ati, “Nkuwuuja, Bbaabba, iwe oMusengwa afuga eigulu nʼoku kyalo, olwakubba amazima ganu wagabisire abalabuki nʼabategeera, kaisi nʼogamanyikisya bantu ababula ekibamaite ooti baana abatobato. 26Niikyo ekyo Bbaabba olwakubba okwo kwabbaire kutakakwo.”
27Awo nʼakoba abantu ati, “OBbaabba yampaire obwezye oku bintu byonabyona. Era nze ngʼoMwana mpaawo ammaite okutoolaku oBbaabba. Era mpaawo amaite oBbaabba okutoolaku nze oMwana, nʼomuntu oyo iye ogumba nnondere nti amanye oBbaabba.”
28Kale oYesu ni yeeyongera okukoba abantu ati, “Mwize egyendi nywenanywena abali nʼebibakaluubirira, nze nabawa ekiwuumulo. 29Inywe abananyere mugondere enjegesya yange, era mwegere ku ninze, olwakubba ndi wʼeiwooyo era ndi muwombeeki. Era mwasuna ekiwuumulo kyʼemyoyo gyanywe. 30Ekyo kityo olwakubba engeri eginabekubbemberamu iyo nyangu, nʼebiragiro byange tibigosi.”
