1 Awo Yesu n’agerera abayigirizwa be olugero ng’agamba nga bwe bagwanidde obutakoowanga kusaba n’obutaggwaamu mwoyo, ng’agamba nti, 2 “Waaliwo omulamuzi mu kibuga ekimu, nga tatya Katonda era nga tafa ku muntu yenna. 3 Mu kibuga ekyo mwalimu nnamwandu eyajjanga ew’omulamuzi oyo buli lunaku ng’amwegayirira nti, ‘Nnamula n’omulabe wange.’

4 “Omulamuzi n’amala ebbanga ng’akyagaanyi. Naye oluvannyuma n’agamba mu mutima gwe nti, ‘Newaakubadde nga sitya Katonda era nga sirina muntu gwe nzisaamu kitiibwa, 5 naye olwokubanga nnamwandu ono aneetayiridde nnyo, nzijja kumumalira ensonga ze, kubanga ajja kunkooya olw’okuneetayirira ng’ajja gye ndi buli lunaku!’ ”

6 Awo Mukama waffe n’agamba nti, “Muwulire omulamuzi atali wa mazima bw’agamba. 7 Kale Katonda talisingawo nnyo kulamula abantu be, be yeerondera, abamukaabirira emisana n’ekiro ate ng’abagumiikiriza? 8 Mbagamba nti agenda kubalamula mangu. Naye Omwana w’Omuntu, bw’alijja, alisanga okukkiriza ku nsi?”

9 Awo Yesu n’agerera olugero luno abo abeerowooza nga batuukirivu nga banyoomoola n’abantu abalala, n’agamba nti, 10 “Abantu babiri baayambuka mu Yeekaalu okusaba, omu yali Mufalisaayo n’omulala nga muwooza. 11 Omufalisaayo n’ayimirira n’atandika okusaba nga yeeyogerako nti, ‘Nkwebaza, Katonda, kubanga sifaanana ng’abantu abalala: ab’omululu, abalyazaamaanyi, abenzi, oba omuwooza ono. 12 Nsiiba emirundi ebiri mu wiiki, era mpaayo eri Katonda, ekimu eky’ekkumi ku bintu byonna bye nfuna.’

13 “Naye omuwooza n’ayimirira wala n’atasobola na kuyimusa maaso ge kutunula eri eggulu ng’asaba, wabula ne yeekuba mu kifuba ng’asaba nti, ‘Katonda, onsaasire, nze omwonoonyi.’

14 “Mbagamba nti omusajja ono, omuwooza ye yaddayo eka ng’asonyiyiddwa ebibi bye. Kubanga buli eyeegulumiza alitoowazibwa, n’oyo eyeetoowaza aligulumizibwa.”

15 Lumu ne wabaawo abaaleetera Yesu abaana baabwe abato abakwateko abawe omukisa. Naye abayigirizwa bwe baakiraba ne bajunga abaabaleeta. 16 Naye Yesu abaana n’abayita, n’agamba nti, “Muleke abaana abato bajje gye ndi, temubagaana, kubanga abali nga bano be b’obwakabaka bwa Katonda. 17 Ddala ddala mbagamba nti atayaniriza bwakabaka bwa Katonda ng’omwana omuto, talibuyingiramu n’akatono.”

18 Awo omu ku bakulembeze b’Abayudaaya n’abuuza Yesu nti, “Omuyigiriza omulungi, nkole ki okufuna obulamu obutaggwaawo?” 19 Yesu n’amuddamu nti, “Lwaki ompita omulungi? Tewali mulungi n’omu wabula Katonda yekka. 20 Amateeka ogamanyi nti, ‘Toyendanga, tottanga, tobbanga, tolimbanga, kitaawo ne nnyoko obassangamu ekitiibwa.’ ”

21 N’amuddamu nti, “Amateeka ago gonna ngagondedde ebbanga lyonna okuva mu buto bwange.”

22 Yesu bwe yawulira ebyo, n’amugamba nti, “Okyabulako ekintu kimu. Genda otunde ebibyo byonna, ensimbi z’onoggyamu ozigabire abaavu, olibeera n’obugagga mu ggulu, olyoke ojje ongoberere.”

23 Naye bwe yawulira ebigambo ebyo n’agenda ng’anakuwadde nnyo, kubanga yali mugagga nnyo. 24 Yesu bwe yamulaba ng’anakuwadde nnyo, n’ayogera nti, “Nga kizibu omugagga okuyingira mu bwakabaka bwa Katonda! 25 Kyangu eŋŋamira okuyita mu nnyindo y’empiso okusinga omugagga okuyingira mu bwakabaka bwa Katonda.”

26 Abo abaawulira ebyo kwe kubuuza nti, “Kale ani ayinza okulokolebwa?”

27 Yesu n’addamu nti, “Ebitayinzika eri abantu, biyinzika eri Katonda.”

28 Peetero n’amugamba nti, “Ffe twalekawo ebyaffe byonna ne tukugoberera!”

29 Yesu n’addamu nti, “Ddala ddala mbagamba nti teri muntu n’omu eyalekawo amaka ge, oba omukazi we, oba baganda be, oba abazadde be, oba abaana be, olw’obwakabaka bwa Katonda, 30 atalifuna mirundi mingi n’okusingawo mu mulembe guno, ate ne mu mulembe ogugenda okujja aweebwe obulamu obutaggwaawo.”

31 Awo Yesu n’azza ku bbali ekkumi n’ababiri, n’abagamba nti, “Laba, twambuka e Yerusaalemi, era bwe tunaatuuka eyo, byonna bannabbi bye bawandiika ku Mwana w’Omuntu, bijja kutuukirizibwa. 32 Ajja kuweebwayo eri Abamawanga okukudaalirwa n’okuvumibwa. Balimuduulira, ne bamubonyaabonya, ne bamuwandira amalusu, 33 balimukuba era ne bamutta. Ne ku lunaku olwokusatu alizuukira.”

34 Naye abayigirizwa be tebaategeera ky’agamba, amakulu gaakyo gaali gabakwekeddwa, ne batategeera bye yayogera.

35 Awo Yesu bwe yali ng’asemberera Yeriko, ne wabaawo omusajja omuzibe w’amaaso eyali atudde ku kkubo ng’asabiriza. 36 Awo omusajja oyo bwe yawulira ng’ekibiina ky’abantu bayitawo, n’abuuza nti, “Kiki ekyo?” 37 Ne bamuddamu nti, “Yesu Omunnazaaleesi ye ayitawo.”

38 Omuzibe w’amaaso n’akoowoola nti, “Yesu, Omwana wa Dawudi, onsaasire!” 39 Abo abaali bakulembeddemu ne bamuboggolera asirike, kyokka ye ne yeeyongera bweyongezi okuleekaana nti, “Omwana wa Dawudi, onsaasire!”

40 Awo Yesu n’ayimirira, n’alagira, omusajja bamumuleetere. Bwe yasembera, Yesu n’amubuuza nti, 41 “Kiki ky’oyagala nkukolere?” Omusajja n’addamu nti, “Mukama wange, njagala nziremu okulaba!” 42 Yesu n’amugamba nti, “Ddamu okulaba. Okukkirizakwo kukuwonyezza.” 43 Amangwago n’addamu okulaba, n’agoberera Yesu ng’atendereza Katonda. Bonna abaakiraba ne batendereza Katonda.
