Luka 11
1 Lyuŵa limo, Che Yesu ŵaliji nkupopela peuto pamo, paŵamasile, jumo jwa ŵakulijiganya ŵao ŵatite, “Ambuje, ntujiganye kupopela, kwati mpela che Yohana Ŵakubatisya iŵatite pakwajiganya ŵakulijiganya ŵao.”
And it came to pass, that as he was in a certain place praying, when he ceased, one of his disciples said to him: Lord, teach us to pray, as John also taught his disciples.
2 Che Yesu ŵaasalile, “Pankupopela, njileje yelei, ‘Atati, Liina lyenu lijinichilwe, Umwenye wenu uiche.
And he said to them: When you pray, say: Father, hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come.
3 Ntupe chakulya chetu cha lyuŵa ni lyuŵa.
Give us this day our daily bread.
4 Ntulechelesye sambi syetu, pakuŵa uweji nombe tukwalechelesya wose ŵakutuleŵela. Ni sooni nkatujinjisya nkulinjikwa.’”
And forgive us our sins, for we also forgive every one that is indebted to us. And lead us not into temptation.
5 Ni Che Yesu ŵaasalile kuti, “Tujile jumo jwenu akwete ambusanga ni anjaulilaga pasikati chilo ni kunsalila, ‘Ambusanga, mungongosye mikate jitatu none chinambuchisye,
And he said to them: Which of you shall have a friend, and shall go to him at midnight, and shall say to him: Friend, lend me three loaves,
6 pakuŵa ambusanga ŵangu ali mu ulendo, asepuchile kumusi none nganingola chakwapa.’
Because a friend of mine is come off his journey to me, and I have not what to set before him.
7 Nganichisye kuti ambusanga ŵenu akanjanjile ali nkati, ‘Nkaasausya une! Pakuŵa masile kuugala nnango. Une ni achiŵanangu tugonile ni ngangukombola kwimuka ni kumpa!’
And he from within should answer, and say: Trouble me not, the door is now shut, and my children are with me in bed; I cannot rise and give thee.
8 Isyene ngunsalila kuti, ngaajimuka ni kwapa atamuno ali ambusanga gwao pe, nambo ligongo lya mundu jo ichajile pakupunda kwachondelela, chajimuche ni kwapa chachili chose chakuchisaka.
Yet if he shall continue knocking, I say to you, although he will not rise and give him, because he is his friend; yet, because of his importunity, he will rise, and give him as many as he needeth.
9 “Nipele none ngunsalila yakuti, mmende ni ŵanyamwe chimpegwe, nsose ni ŵanyamwe chinnyiwone, mpoposye ni ŵanyamwe chachimbugulila nnango.
And I say to you, Ask, and it shall be given you: seek, and you shall find: knock, and it shall be opened to you.
10 Pakuŵa jwalijose jwakuŵenda akupegwa ni jwakusosa akupata ni jwakupoposya, nnango ukuugulikwa kwa ligongo lyakwe.
For every one that asketh, receiveth; and he that seeketh, findeth; and to him that knocketh, it shall be opened.
11 Ana, atati chi mwa ŵanyamwe, mwanache aŵendaga somba, chachiapa lijoka kuleka kwapa somba?
And which of you, if he ask his father bread, will he give him a stone? or a fish, will he for a fish give him a serpent?
12 Pane ŵaŵendaga lindanda, ana chachapa likoloto?
Or if he shall ask an egg, will he reach him a scorpion?
13 Chisau ŵanyamwe ŵangalumbana, nkumanyilila kwapa achiŵana ŵenu indu yambone, isyene Atati ŵenu ŵa kwinani chiŵape Mbumu jwa Akunnungu aŵala ŵakwaŵenda.”
If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father from heaven give the good Spirit to them that ask him?
14 Lyuŵa limo Che Yesu ŵaliji nkukoposya lisoka lilyantendekenye mundu anaŵechete. Pilyakopweche lisoka lyo, jwangaŵecheta jo, ŵakombwele kuŵecheta, ni mpingo wa ŵandu ŵasimosile.
And he was casting out a devil, and the same was dumb: and when he had cast out the devil, the dumb spoke: and the multitudes were in admiration at it:
15 Nambo ŵane mwa ŵelewo ŵatite, “Akugakoposya masoka kwa ulamusi wa Belesebuli, jwankulu jwa masoka.”
But some of them said: He casteth out devils by Beelzebub, the prince of devils.
16 Ni ŵane ŵalinjile kwakwaŵenda ŵalosye chimanyisyo chakuti ulamusi wao utyochele kwinani.
And others tempting, asked of him a sign from heaven.
17 Nambo Che Yesu, achimanyililaga ng'anisyo syao ni ŵaasalile ŵanyawo, “Ŵandu ŵa umwenye wauliwose aputanaga achinsyene pe wele umwenye wo chiugwe ni ŵandu wa nyuumba jajili jose ŵaputanaga achinsyene pe ŵandu ŵa nyuumba jo chajonasiche.
But he seeing their thoughts, said to them: Every kingdom divided against itself, shall be brought to desolation, and house upon house shall fall.
18 Nipele iŵaga Shetani akulikanila nsyene, umwenye wakwe chiulame? Nguti yeleyi pakuŵa ŵanyamwe nkuumecheta kuti ngugakoposya masoka kwa ulamusi wa Belesebuli.
And if Satan also be divided against himself, how shall his kingdom stand? because you say, that through Beelzebub I cast out devils.
19 Ŵakulijiganya ŵenu nombe akugakoposya masoka mpela inguti kupanganya une, iŵele uli menema musalile kuti ngugakoposya masoka kwa ulamusi wa Belesebuli? Nipele ŵanyawo ni utachinnamula ŵanyamwe.
Now if I cast out devils by Beelzebub; by whom do your children cast them out? Therefore they shall be your judges.
20 Nambo iŵaga ngugakoposya masoka kwa ulamusi wa Akunnungu, nipele nnyimanyilile kuti Umwenye wa Akunnungu umasile kwika kukwenu.
But if I by the finger of God cast out devils; doubtless the kingdom of God is come upon you.
21 “Mundu jwali ni machili pakulindilila nyuumba jakwe ni yakumenyanila yakwe, ipanje yakwe yose chigosekwe.
When a strong man armed keepeth his court, those things are in peace which he possesseth.
22 Nambo aikaga jŵapundile machili ni kumputa, jwelejo akunsumula yakumenyanila yose iyaikulupililaga yo ni kuigaŵanya iŵasumwile.
But if a stronger than he come upon him, and overcome him; he will take away all his armour wherein he trusted, and will distribute his spoils.
23 “Mundu jwalijose jwanganaŵa pamo ni une, akunganila ni mundu jwalijose jwangakusakulila pamo ni une, jwelejo akupwilinganya.
He that is not with me, is against me; and he that gathereth not with me, scattereth.
24 “Lisoka lyankopokaga mundu likusyungula syungula mwipululu mwangali meesi lichisosaga pakupumulila. Palikulepela likuti, ‘Chimujile ku nyuumba jangu kungopochela kula.’
When the unclean spirit is gone out of a man, he walketh through places without water, seeking rest; and not finding, he saith: I will return into my house whence I came out.
25 Palikuujila, akujisimana nyuumba jila jili jepyajile ni mwekotopasye.
And when he is come, he findeth it swept and garnished.
26 Nipele likwaula kukugajigala masoka gane saba gakusakala kupunda ŵelewo, gose gakwaula kukunjinjila mundu jula. Kumbesi kwakwe mundu jo akuŵa jwakusakala kupunda iŵaliji kundanda.”
Then he goeth and taketh with him seven other spirits more wicked than himself, and entering in they dwell there. And the last state of that man becomes worse than the first.
27 Che Yesu paŵaliji nkuŵecheta gelego, jumo jwa achakongwe jwa mumpingo mwa ŵandu mula, ŵanyanyisye liloŵe achitiji, “Jwana upile jwankongwe jwambeleche ni kunjonjesya jo!”
And it came to pass, as he spoke these things, a certain woman from the crowd, lifting up her voice, said to him: Blessed is the womb that bore thee, and the paps that gave thee suck.
28 Nambo Che Yesu ŵaŵechete, “Nambo ŵana upile wakupunda ŵakulipilikanichisya liloŵe lya Akunnungu ni kwitichisya.”
But he said: Yea rather, blessed are they who hear the word of God, and keep it.
29 Nipele, mpingo wa ŵandu paŵaliji nkoonjecheka, Che Yesu ŵatandite kusala, “Uŵelesi wu uli uŵelesi wa kusakala. Ukusaka chimanyisyo, nambo ngaupegwa chimanyisyo chachili chose ikaŵe chimanyisyo chi che Yona chila.
And the multitudes running together, he began to say: This generation is a wicked generation: it asketh a sign, and a sign shall not be given it, but the sign of Jonas the prophet.
30 Mpela che Yona iŵaliji chimanyisyo cha ŵandu wa ku Ninawi ni iyoyo peyo Mwana jwa Mundu chachiŵa chimanyisyo kwa uŵelesi wu.
For as Jonas was a sign to the Ninivites; so shall the Son of man also be to this generation.
31 Iyoyo peyo pa lyuŵa lyakulamulila Mwenye jwankongwe jwa ku Sheba chakopochele pamo ni ŵandu wa uŵelesi wu, nombewo chachisala kuti uŵelesi wu wanamagambo. Pakuŵa ŵelewo ŵaumile kwakutalichila, ŵaiche kukugapikanila maloŵe gambone ga lunda ga mwenye che Selemani, nambo pelepa apali jwankulu kupunda mwenye che Selemani.
The queen of the south shall rise in the judgment with the men of this generation, and shall condemn them: because she came from the ends of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon; and behold more than Solomon here.
32 Ŵandu ŵa ku Ninawi chakopochele pa lyuŵa lya malamulo lyo pamo ni ŵandu ŵa uŵelesi wu, nombewo chachisala kuti uŵelesi wu wanamagambo. Pakuŵa ŵandu ŵa ku Ninawi ŵalesile sambi ligongo lya kulalichilwa utenga wa Akunnungu ni che Yona, nambo pelepa kwana jwankulu kwapunda che Yona.
The men of Ninive shall rise in the judgment with this generation, and shall condemn it; because they did penance at the preaching of Jonas; and behold more than Jonas here.
33 “Ngapagwa mundu jwakupamba lumuli ni kulusisa pane kuluunichila ni lulo nambo akuluŵika pachanya chindu chakuŵichila lumuli, kuti ŵakwinjila mwelemo akombole kulola lilanguka lyakwe.
No man lighteth a candle, and putteth it in a hidden place, nor under a bushel; but upon a candlestick, that they that come in, may see the light.
34 Lumuli lwa chiilu chenu luli liso lyenu, lyaŵaga lyansima, chiilu chenu chose chichiŵe mu lilanguka, nambo lyaŵaga ngaŵa lyansima, nombe chiilu chenu chichiŵe muchipi.
The light of thy body is thy eye. If thy eye be single, thy whole body will be lightsome: but if it be evil, thy body also will be darksome.
35 Nlilolechesye yambone kuti lilanguka lyalili nkati mwenu likaika kugalauka kuŵa chipi.
Take heed therefore, that the light which is in thee, be not darkness.
36 Nipele, iŵaga chiilu chenu chose chaŵaga ni lilanguka, pangali chiŵalo chachichiŵe pa chipi, chiilu cho chiching'alime yambone mpela lumuli lwalukuti pakunlanguchisya ni lilanguka lyakwe.”
If then thy whole body be lightsome, having no part of darkness; the whole shall be lightsome; and as a bright lamp, shall enlighten thee.
37 Che Yesu paŵamasile kusala yeleyo, Mfalisayo jumo ŵaalaliche kumangwao kuti akalye nawo chakulya, nombewo ŵajinjile ni kutama kulya.
And as he was speaking, a certain Pharisee prayed him, that he would dine with him. And he going in, sat down to eat.
38 Nambo Mfalisayo jo ŵansimosile Che Yesu kwawona alinkutama panganaŵa kaje chikanaŵe chakulya.
And the Pharisee began to say, thinking within himself, why he was not washed before dinner.
39 Pele Ambuje ŵansalile, “Ŵanyamwe Mafalisayo, nkosya ngao ni mbale kwa paasa, nambo nkati mwenu ngumbele chigongomalo ni ungalimate.
And the Lord said to him: Now you Pharisees make clean the outside of the cup and of the platter; but your inside is full of rapine and iniquity.
40 Ŵakuloŵela ŵanyamwe! Ana, ngaŵa Akunnungu ŵaŵapanganyisye paasa ni ŵaŵapanganyisye nkati mo?
Ye fools, did not he that made that which is without, make also that which is within?
41 Nambo mwapeje ŵandu ŵakulaga indu yaili nkati ngao ni mbale ni indu ine yose chiiŵe yambone kukwenu.
But yet that which remaineth, give alms; and behold, all things are clean unto you.
42 “Nambo ulaje uŵe kukwenu ŵanyamwe Mafalisayo, pakuŵa nkwausya liunjili lya kumi namose pachanya masamba ga kununjila ga mimela gakunonyesya chakulya ni mchicha ni masamba gane gane ni kuleka kwapanganyichisya ŵandu yaikuŵajilwa ni kwanonyela Akunnungu. Mwaŵajilwe kukamulisya yaandanda yo pangaliŵalila yaaŵili yo.
But woe to you, Pharisees, because you tithe mint and rue and every herb; and pass over judgment, and the charity of God. Now these things you ought to have done, and not to leave the other undone.
43 “Nambo ulaje uŵe kukwenu, ŵanyamwe Mafalisayo, pakuŵa ikunnonyela kutama mmbujo mu itengu ya achakulungwa mu mmajumba ga kupopelela ni kunkomasya kwa kuchimbichisya paŵachingangene ŵandu.
Woe to you, Pharisees, because you love the uppermost seats in the synagogues, and salutations in the marketplace.
44 Ulaje uŵe kukwenu, pakuŵa nkulandana ni malembe gangali chilosyo, ŵandu akupita pachanya pakwe, pangaimanyilila.”
Woe to you, because you are as sepulchres that appear not, and men that walk over are not aware.
45 Jumo jwa ŵamalamulo ŵajanjile, “Jwakwiganya, pankusala yelei ngati nkutujalusya nowe ŵakwe.”
And one of the lawyers answering, saith to him: Master, in saying these things, thou reproachest us also.
46 Che Yesu ŵajanjile, “Ulaje uŵe kukwenu ŵanyamwe ŵakwiganya Malajisyo, pakuŵa nkwatwika ŵandu misigo jakutopela jangatwichilika ni mwachinsyene ngankujongola namose chala kwakamusya.
But he said: Woe to you lawyers also, because you load men with burdens which they cannot bear, and you yourselves touch not the packs with one of your fingers.
47 Ulaje uŵe kukwenu, pakuŵa nkugumba malembe ga ŵakulondola ŵa Akunnungu, ŵaŵaulajikwe ni achambuje ŵenu.
Woe to you who build the monuments of the prophets: and your fathers killed them.
48 Iyoyo peyo ŵanyamwe nkuŵalanga ni kwitichisya masengo ga achambuje ŵenu pakuŵa ŵelewo ŵauleje ŵakulondola ŵa Akunnungu ni ŵanyamwe nkugumba malembe gao.
Truly you bear witness that you consent to the doings of your fathers: for they indeed killed them, and you build their sepulchres.
49 Ni kwaligongo lyo, lunda lwa Akunnungu lwatite, ‘Chinampe ŵakulondola ŵa Akunnungu ni achinduna, nambo ŵane mwa ŵanyawo chachaulaga ni ŵane ŵao chachalagasya.’
For this cause also the wisdom of God said: I will send to them prophets and apostles; and some of them they will kill and persecute.
50 Nipele uŵelesi uu chiuchilagaswa kwaligongo lya chiwa cha ŵakulondola ŵa Akunnungu ŵana wose ŵaŵaulegwe chitandile kupagwa chilambo,
That the blood of all the prophets which was shed from the foundation of the world, may be required of this generation,
51 chitandile kuulagwa ku che Habili kwichila che Sakalia, juŵaulegwe pasikati ja chilisa ni Nyuumba ja Akunnungu. Eloo, ngunsalila kuti, au uŵelesi uu chiuchilagaswa kwa yele isambo yo.
From the blood of Abel unto the blood of Zacharias, who was slain between the alter and the temple: Yea I say to you, It shall be required of this generation.
52 “Ulaje uŵe kukwenu ŵanyamwe ŵakwiganya Malajisyo pakuŵa njigele chiugulilo cha nnango wa umanyilisi ni mwachinsyene nganinjinjila ni ŵaŵajinjilaga mwelemo mwalekasisye kuti akajinjila.”
Woe to you lawyers, for you have taken away the key of knowledge: you yourselves have not entered in, and those that were entering in, you have hindered.
53 Che Yesu ŵatyosile mwelemo, chitandile pelepo ŵakwiganya Malajisyo ni Mafalisayo ŵatandite kwachima kwannope ni kwausya mausyo gamajinji.
And as he was saying these things to them, the Pharisees and the lawyers began violently to urge him, and to oppress his mouth about many things,
54 Ŵasakaga ŵatanjisye kwa maloŵe gao.
Lying in wait for him, and seeking to catch something from his mouth, that they might accuse him.
