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

5 Awo nʼabakoba ati, “Singa omoiza kwinywe abba nʼomukaagwawe, kaisi nʼoyaba egyali omu kiire akati nʼomukoba oti, ‘Munange, onkoopeku obusye, 6 olwakubba omukaagwa wange azwa okungwaku awo ngʼali omu lugendolwe, neenu mbula ekinamwinula.’ 7 Awo kaisi oodi omukaagwawo, nʼairamu ati, ‘Munange mbulanago agakakaduka olwakubba nze mmalire okweigala, era nze nʼabaana bange twegoneire. Kale timpezya kusetuka okukubbeera naire.’ 8 Mbakobera nti newankubbaire ngʼabbaire tiyasetuke okumuwa ekintu, neye aira nʼasetuka nʼamuwa kyonakyona ekyataka tirwakubba nti mukaagwawe neye lwʼokumwegairira nʼeiganyi. 9 Kale mbakoba nti musabenge, era mwalisuna; munoonienge, era mwalibona; mukonkonenge oku lwigi, era balibaigulirawo, 10 olwakubba 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,‡11:11 EBiwandiike ebimo bikoba biti, Eibbaale omukifo kyʼekyokulya. 12 ooba amuwa ekiwuuka kidi ekyasaagwa nga iye omwana amusabire igi? 13 Aale obanga inywe abakola ebibbibibbi mumaite okuwa abaana baanywe ebirabo ebisa, kaisi oItewaanywe owʼomwigulu tiyalikirawo ino okuwa abo abamusaba oMwoyo oMweru?”

14 Lwabbaire lumo oYesu nʼabbinga oku muntu omuzimu gwa bubbubbu. Awo owegwamuzwireku, nʼatandiika okutumula era abantu ababbairewo ni beewunya. 15 Neye abamo kwibo ni bakoba bati, “Abbinga emizimu ngʼakolesya bwezye bwa Bberuzebbuli omukulu waagyo.”11:15 Mat 9:34; 10:25 16 Nʼabandi ni bamusaba neye nga bamukema, bati abawe akamanyiciryo akalaga kati obwezyebwe buzwa giri Kibbumba.11:16 Mat 12:38; 16:1; Mak 8:11

17 Neye iye oYesu oweyamanyicirye ebiseego byabwe, nʼabakoba ati, “Abantu abʼobwakabaka obumo owebeesalamu obwakabaka bwabwe obwo bujigirika. Era nʼowekibba kisito kyona owekyesalamu kisansukana. 18 Inywe mukoba muti mbinga emizimu oku bantu nga nkoleserye bwezye bwa Bberuzebbuli, neye singa oSitaani yena yeerwanisya, obwakabakabwe bubbaawo butya? 19 Aale 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. 20 Neye 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. 22 Neye 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.”11:23 Mak 9:40

24 OYesu yeeyongeire okubeegesya ati, “Omuzimu oweguzwa oku muntu, gulaaduukira omu bitera, nga gunoonia egigwawuumulira. Neye owegukayaku, awo gukoba guti, ‘Neekangira eginaabbanga.’ 25 Kale owegukanga gwaja omuntu oyo ngʼateereire kusani era ngʼali ooti nyumba enjeye era entegeke kusani, 26 atyanu 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.”

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

29 Kale 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.11:29 Mat 16:4; Mak 8:12 30 Aale ngʼoYona oweyabbaire ngʼakamanyiciryo eeri abantu bʼe Nineeve, atyo nʼoMwana wa Muntu waayaba okubba eeri abantu bʼomulembe gunu.11:30 Yon 3:4 31 Okabaka 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.11:31 1Ba 10:1-10; 2Mi 9:1-12 32 Abantu 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.”11:32 Yon 3:5

33 OYesu yeeyongeire nʼakoba ati, “Mpaawo muntu akwatisya eitaala kaisi nʼaliteeka ooba nʼalifuunikaku ekiibo, wazira aliteeka ku kikondo kaisi abantu abaingira ni beezya okubona ekitangaala.11:33 Mat 5:15; Mak 4:21; Luk 8:16 34 Era eriisolyo niiryo eitaala lyʼobwomibwo. Kale singa eriisolyo oweribba lyomi, omubirigwo gwonagwona gwizula ekitangaala. Neye oweritabba lyomi, omubirigwo gwonagwona gwizula ndikiirya. 35 Kale atyanu weekalikice okubona ooba ngʼekitangaala ekikulimu, ikyo tete tindikiirya. 36 Nʼolwekyo singa omubirigwo gwonagwona gwizula ekitangaala kyʼekibono kya Kibbumba anambula kansonda konakona akalimu endikiirya, awo gwalibonecerya nakimo ooti itaala erikumolekera nʼekitangaala.”

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

39 Awo 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. 40 Basirusiru inywe! Oyo iye nago eyabbumbire ebyʼoku ngulu, tiyabbumbire nʼebyʼomu ntooma byona? 41 Kale 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.11:42 Lee 27:30

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.”

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

46 OYesu 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. 48 Era 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. 49 Nʼolwekyo oKibbumba omu malabukige akoba ati, ‘Nalibatumira abanaabbi nʼabatume era baliitaku abamo, kaisi abandi ni babayiigaania.’ 50 Kale kagira inywe abantu bʼomulembe gunu niinywe oKibbumba abaayaba okuvunaana olwʼokufa kwʼabanaabbi bonabona abantu abebaitire kasookeede babbumba ekyalo, 51 okuzwera okwAbberi, okutuuka oku Zakaliya iye ogubaitiire akati wʼekyoto nʼekifo ekyeru omu Yeekaalu. Niikyo ekyo ekimbakobera nti omusango ogwo baligubavunaana niinywe abʼomulembe gunu.11:51 Nta 4:8; 2Mi 24:20-21

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.”

53 Awo 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, 54 nga bamutega okumukwatisya omu bibonobye kaisi beezye okumuvunaana.
