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 praying in a certain place, when he ceased, one of his disciples said unto 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 unto them, When ye pray, say, Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done, as in heaven, so in earth.
3 Ntupe chakulya chetu cha lyuŵa ni lyuŵa.
Give us day by 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; but deliver us from evil.
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 unto them, Which of you shall have a friend, and shall go unto him at midnight, and say unto him, Friend, lend me three loaves;
6 pakuŵa ambusanga ŵangu ali mu ulendo, asepuchile kumusi none nganingola chakwapa.’
For a friend of mine in his journey is come to me, and I have nothing 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 shall 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.
I say unto you, Though 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 unto you, Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto 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?
If a son shall ask bread of any of you that is a father, will he give him a stone? or if [he ask] 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 offer 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 ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children: how much more shall [your] heavenly Father give the Holy 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 it was dumb. And it came to pass, when the devil was gone out, the dumb spake; and the people wondered.
15 Nambo ŵane mwa ŵelewo ŵatite, “Akugakoposya masoka kwa ulamusi wa Belesebuli, jwankulu jwa masoka.”
But some of them said, He casteth out devils through Beelzebub the chief of the devils.
16 Ni ŵane ŵalinjile kwakwaŵenda ŵalosye chimanyisyo chakuti ulamusi wao utyochele kwinani.
And others, tempting [him], sought 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, knowing their thoughts, said unto them, Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation; and a house [divided] against a house falleth.
18 Nipele iŵaga Shetani akulikanila nsyene, umwenye wakwe chiulame? Nguti yeleyi pakuŵa ŵanyamwe nkuumecheta kuti ngugakoposya masoka kwa ulamusi wa Belesebuli.
If Satan also be divided against himself, how shall his kingdom stand? because ye say that I cast out devils through Beelzebub.
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.
And if I by Beelzebub cast out devils, by whom do your sons cast them out? therefore shall they be your judges.
20 Nambo iŵaga ngugakoposya masoka kwa ulamusi wa Akunnungu, nipele nnyimanyilile kuti Umwenye wa Akunnungu umasile kwika kukwenu.
But if I with the finger of God cast out devils, no doubt 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 palace, his goods are in peace:
22 Nambo aikaga jŵapundile machili ni kumputa, jwelejo akunsumula yakumenyanila yose iyaikulupililaga yo ni kuigaŵanya iŵasumwile.
But when a stronger than he shall come upon him, and overcome him, he taketh from him all his armour wherein he trusted, and divideth 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 dry places, seeking rest; and finding none, he saith, I will return unto my house whence I came out.
25 Palikuujila, akujisimana nyuumba jila jili jepyajile ni mwekotopasye.
And when he cometh, 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 goeth he, and taketh [to him] seven other spirits more wicked than himself; and they enter in, and dwell there: and the last [state] of that man is 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 spake these things, a certain woman of the company lifted up her voice, and said unto him, Blessed [is] the womb that bare thee, and the paps which thou hast sucked.
28 Nambo Che Yesu ŵaŵechete, “Nambo ŵana upile wakupunda ŵakulipilikanichisya liloŵe lya Akunnungu ni kwitichisya.”
But he said, Yea rather, blessed [are] they that 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 when the people were gathered thick together, he began to say, This is an evil generation: they seek a sign; and there shall no sign 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 unto the Ninevites, so shall also the Son of man 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 up in the judgment with the men of this generation, and condemn them: for she came from the utmost parts of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon; and, behold, a greater than Solomon [is] 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 Nineve shall rise up in the judgment with this generation, and shall condemn it: for they repented at the preaching of Jonas; and, behold, a greater than Jonas [is] 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, when he hath lighted a candle, putteth [it] in a secret place, neither under a bushel, but on a candlestick, that they which 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 the body is the eye: therefore when thine eye is single, thy whole body also is full of light; but when [thine eye] is evil, thy body also [is] full of darkness.
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 thy whole body therefore [be] full of light, having no part dark, the whole shall be full of light, as when the bright shining of a candle doth give thee light.
37 Che Yesu paŵamasile kusala yeleyo, Mfalisayo jumo ŵaalaliche kumangwao kuti akalye nawo chakulya, nombewo ŵajinjile ni kutama kulya.
And as he spake, a certain Pharisee besought him to dine with him: and he went in, and sat down to meat.
38 Nambo Mfalisayo jo ŵansimosile Che Yesu kwawona alinkutama panganaŵa kaje chikanaŵe chakulya.
And when the Pharisee saw [it], he marvelled that he had not first 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 unto him, Now do ye Pharisees make clean the outside of the cup and the platter; but your inward part is full of ravening and wickedness.
40 Ŵakuloŵela ŵanyamwe! Ana, ngaŵa Akunnungu ŵaŵapanganyisye paasa ni ŵaŵapanganyisye nkati mo?
[Ye] fools, did not he that made that which is without make that which is within also?
41 Nambo mwapeje ŵandu ŵakulaga indu yaili nkati ngao ni mbale ni indu ine yose chiiŵe yambone kukwenu.
But rather give alms of such things as ye have; 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 unto you, Pharisees! for ye tithe mint and rue and all manner of herbs, and pass over judgment and the love of God: these ought ye 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 unto you, Pharisees! for ye love the uppermost seats in the synagogues, and greetings in the markets.
44 Ulaje uŵe kukwenu, pakuŵa nkulandana ni malembe gangali chilosyo, ŵandu akupita pachanya pakwe, pangaimanyilila.”
Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye are as graves which appear not, and the men that walk over [them] are not aware [of them.]
45 Jumo jwa ŵamalamulo ŵajanjile, “Jwakwiganya, pankusala yelei ngati nkutujalusya nowe ŵakwe.”
Then answered one of the lawyers, and said unto him, Master, thus saying 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.
And he said, Woe unto you also, [ye] lawyers! for ye lade men with burdens grievous to be borne, and ye yourselves touch not the burdens with one of your fingers.
47 Ulaje uŵe kukwenu, pakuŵa nkugumba malembe ga ŵakulondola ŵa Akunnungu, ŵaŵaulajikwe ni achambuje ŵenu.
Woe unto you! for ye build the sepulchres 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 ye bear witness that ye allow the deeds of your fathers: for they indeed killed them, and ye 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.’
Therefore also said the wisdom of God, I will send them prophets and apostles, and [some] of them they shall slay 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, which perished between the altar and the temple: verily I say unto 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 unto you, lawyers! for ye have taken away the key of knowledge: ye entered not in yourselves, and them that were entering in ye hindered.
53 Che Yesu ŵatyosile mwelemo, chitandile pelepo ŵakwiganya Malajisyo ni Mafalisayo ŵatandite kwachima kwannope ni kwausya mausyo gamajinji.
And as he said these things unto them, the scribes and the Pharisees began to urge [him] vehemently, and to provoke him to speak of many things:
54 Ŵasakaga ŵatanjisye kwa maloŵe gao.
Laying wait for him, and seeking to catch something out of his mouth, that they might accuse him.
