1 Owewabbaire nga wabulayo enaku mukaaga, oMukolo ogwʼoKutambukirya gutuuke, oYesu nʼatuuka oku kyalo kyʼe Bbesaniya. OLazaalo yabbaire mutyami wʼoku kyalo okwo era niiye oyo oYesu oguyazuukizire. 2 Kale eeyo oYesu ni bamutegekera ekyeigolo, era oMaliza nʼabainula. Era oLazaalo yabbaire moiza kwabo abaliire oku menza nʼoYesu.

3 Kale awo oMalyamu nʼakwata ecupa* 12:3 Cupa omu Luyonaani kiri, Litera. erimu amafuta amakengeize agʼakaloosa, era agʼebbeeyi eino agebeeta naludo. Awo nʼagasuka oku bigere bya Yesu, era nʼabisiimuula nʼenziiri gyʼokumutwegwe. Era enyumba nʼeizula akaloosa akʼamafuta ago. 12:3 Luk 7:37-38

4 Neye oYuda oIsikalyoti, era omoiza oku beegi ba Yesu, eyabbaire ayaba okumulyamu olukwe, nʼakoba ababbairewo ati, 5 “Kale lwaki amafuta ago tibagatundiremu edinaali 300, era empiiya egyo ni bagigabira abadoobi?” 6 OYuda yatumwire ekyo tirwakubba nti yabbaire alumirwa abadoobi, neye olwakubba yabbaire mwibbi. Era ngʼowekyabbaire kiti niiye eyabbaire omuwanika waabwe, iye yaibbangaku egimo.

7 Awo oYesu nʼairamu ati, “OMalyamu mumuleke olwakubba kyabbaire kigenderere kiti yabbaire ali nʼokubisa amafuta ago kugakolesya ku lunaku olubalindiikiraku. 8 Ekyo kityo olwakubba abadoobi ibo baabbanga na inywe buliijo, neye nze tinaabbe na inywe okumala ekiseera ekinene.” 12:8 Ama 15:11

9 Awo ekiyindi kinene ekyʼaBayudaaya, ni kitegeera kiti oYesu ali e Bbesaniya. Kale ni baabayo, tirwakubona Yesu kyonkani, neye nʼokubona oLazaalo, oYesu oguyazuukizire. 10 Kale awo abakabona abakulu ni basala amalabuki okwita oLazaalo yena. 11 Ekyo kyabbaire kityo olwakubba okulwa Lazaalo, aBayudaaya bangi bazwanga oku bakabona abakulu ni baaba egiri oYesu, era ni bamwikiririryamu.

12 Oku lunaku olwairireku, ekiziima kinene ekyʼabantu ababbaire baabire e Yerusaalemi oku Mukolo ogwʼoKutambukirya, ni bawulira bati oYesu ali kwabayo. 13 Awo ni bakwata ensansa egitali nkujuulye, era ni baaba okumwaniriza nga webaceera bati,

16 Omu kiseera ekyo abeegibe tibategeire ebintu ebyo, neye oKibbumba oweyamalire okugulumalya oYesu ngʼamuzuukiza, kaisi ni beewukirya ngʼebyo byabbaire bityo ngʼowekiri omu Biwandiike byʼabanaabbi.

17 Ekiziima kyʼabantu ekyabbairewo ngʼoYesu ayeta oLazaalo okuzwa omu magombe era nʼamuzuukiza, ni beeyongera okukobera abantu abandi ebyabbairewo. 18 Nʼolwekyo abantu bangi, olwakubba babbaire bawuliire bati yabbaire akolere akamanyiciryo kʼekyewunyo kanu, ni baabayo okumusangaana 19 Kale aBafalisaayo ni bakobangana bati, “Kimanye kusani nti mpaawo kitwezya okukola. Aale mubone buli muntu amusengererya!”

20 Atyanu abamo oku Bayonaani babbaire bamo oku bantu abaabire e Yerusaalemi okusinza oKibbumba oku Mukolo ogwʼoKutambukirya. 21 Kale aBayonaani abo owebatuukire eeyo ni baaba egiri oFiripo owʼoku kyalo kyʼe Bbesusaida ekyʼomwitwale lyʼe Galiraaya, ni bamusaba bati, “Sebo tutaka okutumulaku nʼoYesu.” 22 Awo oFiripo nʼayaba nʼakoba Andereya kaisi bonabona ni baaba okukobera oYesu.

23 Iye oYesu nʼabairamu ati, “Ekiseera kituukire oKibbumba okugulumalya oMwana wa Muntu. 24 Era mbakobera amazima nti onsigo owaatagwa omwitakali era ni bamuliika, asigala denge. Neye owebamuliika amera nʼabala empeke nyingi. 25 Buli agezyaku okulamya obwomibwe okululwe, yalibufiirwa, neye buli acaawa obwomibwe okulwange ngʼali oku kyalo kunu, yalisuna obwomi obutawaawo. 12:25 Mat 10:39; 16:25; Mak 8:35; Luk 9:24; 17:33 26 Era oyo iye ampeererya, ateekwa okubba aikiriirye okugumira nze ebinjaba okubitamu, kaisi oolwo eginaaba eeyo omwigulu yena beezye okumutuucaayo. Kale oBbaabba yaliwa ekitiisya iye oyo ampeererya.”

27 Awo oYesu ni yeeyongera ati, “Atyanu omwoyo gwange gweraliikiriire, era timmaite nʼekyokukoba. Nkobe nti, ‘Bbaabba toganya akaseera akagosi ako akʼokugada nʼokufa okuntuukaku?’ Bbe, olwakubba ekyandetere niikyo nze omu kaseera kanu okubita omu kugada! 28 Aale Bbaabba ogulumalye eriinalyo.” Awo eigono ni lizwa omwigulu erikoba liti, “Naligulumairye era nalirigulumalya tete.”

29 Ikyo ekiziima kyʼabantu ekyabbaire kyemereire awo owebawuliire, abamo ni bakoba bati, “Laadu niiyo ebbwatuka!” Abandi ni bakoba bati, “Omalaika atumwire naye.”

30 Awo oYesu nʼabakoba ati, “Eigono eeryo erimuwuliire tiriizire kugasa ninze, wazira kugasa niinywe. 31 Era atyanu oKibbumba ayaba okusalira ekyalo omusango. Nʼomu kiseera kinu iye oSitaani omufugi wʼekyalo kinu, oKibbumba ayaba okumuwambaku obufugi. 32 Neye nze owebalinjanika oku musalabba, nalikuusa abantu bonabona ni babba bange.” 33 Ekyo yakitumwire, ngʼategeeza enfa egiyabbaire ayaba okufaamu.

34 Awo ekiziima kyʼabantu ni kiceera nga bakoba bati, “Iswe tumaite tuti eBiwandiike bikoba biti oKurisito ogubasukireku amafuta wa kubbaawo emirembe nʼemirembe. Olwo tete iwe okoba otya oti oMwana wa Muntu bateekwa okumwanika oku musalabba? Iwe otumula ku Mwana wa Muntu aliina oyo?” 12:34 Zab 110:4; Isa 9:7; Zek 37:25; Dan 7:14

35 Awo oYesu nʼabakoba ati, “Mwaba okweyongera okubbaaku nʼekitangaala ekiseera kitono. Kale mutambule nga kikaali kiriwo, ngʼendikiirya ekaali okubazingiza olwakubba atambulira omu ndikiirya tabona e gyayaba. 36 Kale mwikiririrye omu kitangaala nga kikaali kiriwo, kaisi mwezye okubba bantu bʼekitangaala.” OYesu oweyamalire okutumula ebyo nʼazwawo era ni yebeebisaku.

37 Awo oYesu nʼoweyamalire okukola obumanyiciryo bwʼebyewunyo obwo bwonabwona nga babona, era aBayudaaya tibamwikiririryemu. 38 Ekyo kyabbaire kityo lwʼokutuukirirya kibono kya Isaaya onaabbi, ekiti:

39 Ekyo niikyo ekyagirire ni bateezya okwikirirya, olwakubba oIsaaya era yakobeire awandi ati:

42 Cooka era omu kiseera ekinyere ekyo bangi oku beekubbemberi bʼaBayudaaya bamwikiririryemu. Neye olwʼokutya aBafalisaayo, tibakibbutwire nga baseega bati demba ni bababbinga omwikumbaaniro. 43 Ekyo kityo olwakubba batakire bantu okubawuuja okukiraku oKibbumba iye okubawuuja.

44 Awo oYesu nʼalangirira ati, “Omuntu owanjikiririryamu tabba anjikiririryamu ninze zenkani, wazira abba aikiririrya nʼomu Kibbumba eyantumire. 45 Era omuntu oyo owambonaku, abba ooti aboine Kibbumba eyantumire. 46 Nze naizire oku kyalo ngʼekitangaala, kaisi buli anjikiririryamu, tiyasigala omu ndikiirya.”

47 Awo oYesu ni yeeyongera ati, “Iye omuntu awulira ebibono byange kaisi nʼatabikwata, timmusalira omusango. Ekyo kityo olwakubba tinaizire kusalira bantu misango, wazira kubalokola. 48 Neye iye oyo angaana era ataikirirya ebibono byange, oKibbumba yalimusingisya omusango oku lunaku lwʼenkomerero ngʼasinzirira ku bibono ebyo ebinatumwire. 49 Ekyo kityo olwakubba tinabitumulanga kulwange, neye oBbaabba eyantumire niiye eyandagiire ebyokutumula, nʼengeri yʼokubitumulamu. 50 Era mmaite nti omukugondera ekiragirokye kizweramu omuntu okusuna obwomi obutawaawo. Kale buli ekintumula kibba kinanyerenyeere kidi oBbaabba ekiyankobere okutumula.”
