1 Awo owewabitirewo akaseera katono, oku Saabbaato oYesu nʼabeegibe owebabbaire babita omu kasinde akabbaire omu musiri gwʼengaano, abeegibe enzala yabbaire ebaluma era ni bawululaku ebigala byʼengaano era ni balya empeke gyamu.12:1 Ama 23:25 2 Neye aBafalisaayo abamo owebababoine nga bakola ekyo, ni bakoba oYesu bati, “Aale obone abeegibo batambire, ekintu aMateeka ga Musa ekigagaana oku Saabbaato!”

3 Awo oYesu nʼabairamu ati, “Inywe timusomangaku omu Biwandiike kwekyo okabaka oDawudi nʼabeyabbaire nabo ekibakolere enzala oweyabalumire? 4 ODawudi yaingiire omu nyumba ya Kibbumba, era iye nʼabeyabbaire nabo ni balyaku emigaati egibabbaire bawongere eeri oKibbumba, aate ngʼaMateeka ga Musa gabbaire tigaikirirya abantu abandi okulyaku emigaati egyo, okutoolaku abakabona bonkani.12:4 Lee 24:912:3-4 1Sa 21:1-6 5 Ooba timusomangaku omu Mateeka ga Musa nti oku Saabbaato, abakabona omu kukola emirimo gyabwe omu Yeekaalu bavuna eiteeka cooka ni batabbaaku omusango?12:5 Kub 28:9-10 6 Neye mbakoba nti akira eYeekaalu ekitiisya ali aanu. 7 Era singa mumaite amakulu gʼeKiwandiike kinu ekikoba kiti, ‘Ebyekisa niibyo ebintaka, neye tisadaaka,’ timwandinenyere bantu ababulaku omusango.12:7 Mat 9:13; Kos 6:6 8 Ekyo kityo olwakubba oMwana wa Muntu ali nʼobwezye okusalawo abantu ekibasaaniire okukola oku Saabbaato.”

9 Awo oYesu nʼazwa omu kifo ekyo, nʼayaba omwikumbaaniro, 10 era oomwo mwabbairemu omuntu owʼengalo eyanyolere. Era omunyere oomwo mwabbairemu aBafalisaayo ababbaire banoonianga ensonga yʼokuzweraku okuwaabira oYesu. Kale ni babuulya oYesu bati, “Amateeka gaiswe gaikirirya okulamya omuntu oku Saabbaato?”

11 OYesu nʼabairamu ati, “Singa omoiza kwinywe abba nʼontaamawe, kaisi nʼagwa omu kiina oku Saabbaato, tamukwata nʼamutoolamu?12:11 Luk 14:5 12 Atyanu oolwo omuntu tiwamugaso ino okukiraku ontaama! Nʼolwekyo baikirirya okukolera omuntu ekintu ekisa oku Saabbaato.”

13 Awo nʼakoba omuntu oyo owʼengalo eyanyolere ati, “Waama iswe ogolole engaloyo.” Kale nʼagigolola, era nʼeramirawo era nʼebba nakimo nsa ooti yeedi egendi. 14 Neye aBafalisaayo ibo ni bawulukamu era ni bateesa engeri egibeezya okujigiricamu oYesu.

15 Awo oYesu oweyategeire olukwe lwʼaBafalisaayo olwʼokumwita, nʼazwa omu kifo ekyo. Era oweyazwirewo, ekiyindi kyʼabantu kinene ni kimusengererya, era nʼalamya abalwaire baabwe bonabona ababbaireyo 16 neye nʼabagaana okumubbutula. 17 Ekyo kyabbaire kityo olwʼokutuukirirya ekibono kya Kibbumba onaabbi Isaaya ekiyatumwire ekikoba kiti:

22 Awo ni baleetera oYesu omusaiza aliku omuzimu nga mwofu era bbubbu. Era oYesu nʼamulamya, nʼatandiika okutumula nʼokubona. 23 Era abantu bonabona ababbairewo ni beewunya olwʼekyo oYesu ekiyabbaire akolere, era ni babuulya bati, “Omusaiza onu ayezya okubba niiye oKurisito oMwizukulu wa kabaka oDawudi?”

24 Neye aBafalisaayo owebawuliire ebyo, ni bairamu bati, “Omusaiza onu abbinga emizimu ngʼakolesya bwezye bwa Bberuzebbuli omukulu waagyo.”12:24 Mat 9:34; 10:25

25 Neye iye oYesu oweyamanyicirye ebiseego byabwe, nʼabakoba ati, “Abantu abʼobwakabaka obumo owebeesalamu, obwakabaka bwabwe obwo bujigirika. Era nʼabantu abʼomu kibuga ekimo waire kisito owebeesalamu, ekibuga ooba ekisito ekyo kisansukana. 26 Kale singa oSitaani abbinga emizimu ekitegeeza kiti abba yeerwanisya. Olwo owekibba kityo obwakabakabwe bubbaawo butya? 27 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. 28 Neye owekibba kiti mbinga emizimu oku bantu nga nkolesya bwezye bwa Mwoyo wa Kibbumba, aale obwakabaka bwa Kibbumba bubba atyanu bubabbutukiiremu.”

29 Awo ni yeeyongera ati, “Mpaawo ayezya okwingira omu nyumba ya muntu owʼamaani nʼanyaga ebintubye, okutoolaku ngʼasookere kumusiba, oolwo kaisi nʼayezya okunyaga ebyʼomu nyumbaye.”

30 Era ni yeeyongera ati, “Kale iye oyo atabba oku luuda lwange, abba mulabe wange, era iye atambeera okusolooja, asalaanica.12:30 Mak 9:40 31 Nʼolwekyo mbakobera nti, kyezyeka okusoniya abantu ebibbibibbi byabwe byonabyona, nʼokubasoniya olwʼebibono ebizumirira omu ngeri yonayona. Neye buli azuma oMwoyo oMweru, tibalimusoniya. 32 Era buli atumula okubbikubbi oku Mwana wa Muntu, beezya okumusoniya; neye oyo iye azuma oMwoyo oMweru, tibalimusoniya waire mu mulembe gunu ooba mu mulembe ogwaliiza.”12:32 Luk 12:10

33 Awo oYesu ni yeeyongera ati, “Omusaale omusa, guneneka bineneka ebisa, nʼomusaale omubbimubbi, guneneka ebineneka bibbibibbi. Ekyo kityo olwakubba omusaale bagutegeerera ku bineneka byagwo.12:33 Mat 7:20; Luk 6:44 34 Inywe muli bakabbikabbi ooti mpiri enfulugundu! Mwezya mutya okutumula ebintu ebisa nga muli bantu abakola ebibbibibbi? Ekyo kityo olwakubba ebintu ebiizula omu mwoyo gwa muntu, omunwagwe niibyo ebigutumula.12:34 Mat 3:7; 23:33; 15:18; Luk 3:7; 6:45 35 Omuntu omusa, atoola ku bisa ebiri omu mwoyogwe okukola ebisa, nʼomuntu akola ebikole ebibbibibbi, atoola ku bibbibibbi ebiri omu mwoyogwe okukola ebibbibibbi.”

36 Era ni yeeyongera ati, “Neye mbakobera nti oku lunaku lwʼokusaliraku emisango, abantu balibba nʼokwewozyaku omu maiso ga Kibbumba olwa buli kibono ekitagasa ekibatumula. 37 Ekyo kityo olwakubba oku bibono byanywe oKibbumba kuyalizwera okubasingisya omusango ooba okubatoolaku omusango.”

38 Awo abamo oku Bafalisaayo nʼabakugu omu byʼaMateeka ga Musa ni bakoba oYesu bati, “Musomesya, tutaka otukolerewo akamanyiciryo akalaga kati obwezyebwo buzwa giri Kibbumba.”12:38 Mat 16:1; Mak 8:11; Luk 11:16

39 OYesu nʼabairamu ati, “Abantu bʼomulembe gunu ibo abakola ebibbibibbi era abazwazwa oku Kibbumba ibo basaba akamanyiciryo, neye mpaawo akenjaba okubawa okutoolaku ako akebakoleire onaabbi Yona.12:39 Mat 16:4; Mak 8:12 40 Ekyo kityo olwakubba ngʼoYona oweyabbaire omu kida kya gunyanyi enaku eisatu embeereri, nʼoMwana wa Muntu yena waayaba okubba omwitakali enaku eisatu.”12:40 Yon 1:17

41 Awo oYesu ni yeeyongera ati, “Abantu bʼe Nineeve balisetuka ngʼoKibbumba asalira abantu bʼomulembe gunu omusango. Era ni babalumiriza omusango okubasinga olwakubba ibo beenenyere ngʼoYona alaabbire egibali ekibono kya Kibbumba, neye obone oyo akira oYona ekitiisya ali aanu.”12:41 Yon 3:5

42 Era oYesu ni yeeyongera ati, “Okabaka omukali owʼomu kyalo ekiriraine e Isirairi ekyansi, 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.”12:42 1Ba 10:1-10; 2Mi 9:1-12

43 OYesu ni yeeyongera okubeegesya ati, “Omuzimu oweguzwa oku muntu, gulaaduukira omu bitera, nga gunoonia egigwawuumulira neye owegukayaku, 44 awo gukoba guti, ‘Neekangira eginaabbanga.’ Kale owegukanga gwaja omuntu oyo ngʼateereire kusani era ngʼali ooti nyumba enjereere, enjeye era entegeke kusani. 45 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. Kale kityo niiye owekyalibba nʼoku bantu abakola ebibbibibbi abʼomulembe gunu.”

46 Kale awo oYesu oweyabbaire ngʼakaali atumula nʼekiziima kyʼabantu, abagandabe nʼomaaye ni batuuka egiyabbaire ni beemerera e nza, nga bataka okutumulaku naye. 47 Awo omuntu nʼakobera oYesu ati, “Omaawo nʼabagandabo bali e nza, era bataka okutumulaku na iwe.”

48 OYesu nʼamwiramu ati, “Omuntu ogunjeta nti mama ooba abenjeta nti baganda bange niibo ababba abʼengeriki?” 49 Awo nʼadooda oku beegibe era nʼakoba ati, “Omama nʼabaganda bange niibo banu. 50 Ekyo kityo olwakubba buli akola oBbaabba aali omwigulu ebyataka niiye abba omuganda wange, era niiye abba omwonyoko wange, era niiye abba omama.”
