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, when he was in a certain place praying, as 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—Whensoever ye are praying, say—Father! Hallowed be thy name, Come may thy kingdom,
3 Ntupe chakulya chetu cha lyuŵa ni lyuŵa.
Our needful bread, be giving us, day by day;
4 Ntulechelesye sambi syetu, pakuŵa uweji nombe tukwalechelesya wose ŵakutuleŵela. Ni sooni nkatujinjisya nkulinjikwa.’”
And forgive us our sins, for, even we ourselves, forgive every one indebted to us; And bring 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 unto them—Who from among you, shall have a friend, and shall go unto him at midnight, and say unto him—Friend! supply me with three loaves,
6 pakuŵa ambusanga ŵangu ali mu ulendo, asepuchile kumusi none nganingola chakwapa.’
forasmuch as, a friend of mine, hath come off a journey unto me, and I have not what I can 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—Be not disturbing me, —already, the door hath been fastened, and, my children, with me, are, 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—Even though he will not give him, rising because of his being a friend of his, because, at least, of his importunity, he will rouse himself, 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.
I, therefore, unto you, say—Be asking, and it shall be given to you, Be seeking, and ye shall find, —Be knocking, and it shall be opened unto you.
10 Pakuŵa jwalijose jwakuŵenda akupegwa ni jwakusosa akupata ni jwakupoposya, nnango ukuugulikwa kwa ligongo lyakwe.
For, whosoever asketh, receiveth, and, he that seeketh, findeth, —and, to him that knocketh, shall it be opened.
11 Ana, atati chi mwa ŵanyamwe, mwanache aŵendaga somba, chachiapa lijoka kuleka kwapa somba?
But which is the father, from among yourselves, whom the son will ask for, a fish, who, instead of a fish, will give him, a serpent?
12 Pane ŵaŵendaga lindanda, ana chachapa likoloto?
Or shall also ask, an egg, who will give 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 therefore, ye, being, evil, know how to be giving, good gifts, unto your children, how much rather, will, the heavenly Father, give Holy Spirit unto 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 demon that was dumb; and it came to pass, when the demon went out, the dumb began speaking. And the multitudes marvelled;
15 Nambo ŵane mwa ŵelewo ŵatite, “Akugakoposya masoka kwa ulamusi wa Belesebuli, jwankulu jwa masoka.”
but, some from among them, said—In Beelzebul, the ruler of the demons, is he casting out the demons;
16 Ni ŵane ŵalinjile kwakwaŵenda ŵalosye chimanyisyo chakuti ulamusi wao utyochele kwinani.
and, others, putting him to the test, a sign out of heaven, were seeking from him.
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, against itself divided, is laid waste, and, a house, against a house, [divided], falleth;
18 Nipele iŵaga Shetani akulikanila nsyene, umwenye wakwe chiulame? Nguti yeleyi pakuŵa ŵanyamwe nkuumecheta kuti ngugakoposya masoka kwa ulamusi wa Belesebuli.
And, if, even Satan, against himself hath become divided, how shall his kingdom stand? because ye are saying that, in Beelzebul, am I casting out the demons.
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.
But, if, I, in Beelzebul, am casting out the demons, In whom are, your sons, casting them out? Wherefore, 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, with the finger of God, I, am casting out the demons, then doubtless unawares hath come upon you, the kingdom of God.
21 “Mundu jwali ni machili pakulindilila nyuumba jakwe ni yakumenyanila yakwe, ipanje yakwe yose chigosekwe.
Whensoever, the mighty one, armed, may be guarding his own dwelling, in peace, are his goods;
22 Nambo aikaga jŵapundile machili ni kumputa, jwelejo akunsumula yakumenyanila yose iyaikulupililaga yo ni kuigaŵanya iŵasumwile.
But, whensoever, a mightier than he, shall come upon and vanquish him, his panoply, he taketh away, wherein he was trusting, and, his spoils, he distributeth.
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.’
Whensoever, the impure spirit, goeth out from the man, it passeth through waterless places, seeking rest; and, not finding it, [then, ] it saith, I will return unto my house, whence I came out; —
25 Palikuujila, akujisimana nyuumba jila jili jepyajile ni mwekotopasye.
and, coming, findeth it, [empty, ] swept, and adorned.
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 it, and taketh along with itself, other spirits, more wicked than itself—seven, and, entering in, fixeth its dwelling there; and, the last state of that man, becometh, 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!”
Now it came to pass, while he was saying these things, that a certain woman out of the multitude, lifting up her voice, said unto him—Happy the womb that bare thee! And the breasts which thou didst suck!
28 Nambo Che Yesu ŵaŵechete, “Nambo ŵana upile wakupunda ŵakulipilikanichisya liloŵe lya Akunnungu ni kwitichisya.”
But, he, said—Yea rather!—Happy they who hear the word of God, and observe 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, as the multitudes were thronging together, he began to be saying—This generation, is, a wicked generation: A sign, it is seeking, and, a sign, shall not be given it, save the sign of Jonah.
30 Mpela che Yona iŵaliji chimanyisyo cha ŵandu wa ku Ninawi ni iyoyo peyo Mwana jwa Mundu chachiŵa chimanyisyo kwa uŵelesi wu.
For, according as, Jonah, became, unto the Ninevites, a sign, so, shall be, the Son of Man also, unto 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, will rise up, in the judgment, with the men of this generation, and will condemn them; because she came out of the ends of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon, —and lo! something 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.
Men of Nineveh, will rise up, in the judgment, with this generation, and will condemn it; because they repented into the proclamation of Jonah, —and lo! something more than Jonah, 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 one, having lighted, a lamp, into a covered place, a putteth it, nor, under the measure; but upon the lampstand, that they who enter 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 lamp of thy body, is thine eye: Whensoever, thine eye, may be, single, even the whole of thy body, is, lighted up; but, whensoever it may be, useless, even thy body, is darkened.
35 Nlilolechesye yambone kuti lilanguka lyalili nkati mwenu likaika kugalauka kuŵa chipi.
Be looking to it, therefore, lest, the light that is in thee, be, 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, therefore, thy whole body, is lighted up, not having any part darkened, the whole, shall be lighted up, as whensoever, the lamp, with its radiance, may be giving thee light.
37 Che Yesu paŵamasile kusala yeleyo, Mfalisayo jumo ŵaalaliche kumangwao kuti akalye nawo chakulya, nombewo ŵajinjile ni kutama kulya.
And, when he had spoken, a Pharisee was requesting him that he would dine with him; and, entering, he reclined.
38 Nambo Mfalisayo jo ŵansimosile Che Yesu kwawona alinkutama panganaŵa kaje chikanaŵe chakulya.
And, the Pharisee, beholding, marvelled that he was not, first, immersed, before the 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, ye, the Pharisees, the outside of the cup and of the tray, do make pure; but, your inward part, is full of plunder and wickedness.
40 Ŵakuloŵela ŵanyamwe! Ana, ngaŵa Akunnungu ŵaŵapanganyisye paasa ni ŵaŵapanganyisye nkati mo?
Simple ones! Did not, he who made the outside, the inside also, make?
41 Nambo mwapeje ŵandu ŵakulaga indu yaili nkati ngao ni mbale ni indu ine yose chiiŵe yambone kukwenu.
Notwithstanding, as to the things within, give alms, and lo! everything, is, pure 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 alas for you, the Pharisees! because ye tithe the mint, and the rue, and every garden herb, and pass by justice, and the love of God. But, these things, it was binding to do, and, those, not to pass by.
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.
Alas for you, the Pharisees! because ye love the first seats in the synagogues, and the salutations in the market-places!
44 Ulaje uŵe kukwenu, pakuŵa nkulandana ni malembe gangali chilosyo, ŵandu akupita pachanya pakwe, pangaimanyilila.”
Alas for you! because ye are as the secret tombs: even the men that are walking above them, know it not.
45 Jumo jwa ŵamalamulo ŵajanjile, “Jwakwiganya, pankusala yelei ngati nkutujalusya nowe ŵakwe.”
And, making answer, one of the Lawyers saith unto him, Teacher! these things, saying, us also, dost thou insult!
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—And, for you, the lawyers, alas! because ye lade men with burdens hard to be borne, and, yourselves, with one of your fingers, touch not the burdens.
47 Ulaje uŵe kukwenu, pakuŵa nkugumba malembe ga ŵakulondola ŵa Akunnungu, ŵaŵaulajikwe ni achambuje ŵenu.
Alas for you! because ye build the tombs of the prophets, and your fathers slew them!
48 Iyoyo peyo ŵanyamwe nkuŵalanga ni kwitichisya masengo ga achambuje ŵenu pakuŵa ŵelewo ŵauleje ŵakulondola ŵa Akunnungu ni ŵanyamwe nkugumba malembe gao.
Hence, witnesses, are ye, and find consenting pleasure in the works of your fathers: because, they, indeed, slew them, and, ye, are building, [their tombs].
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, the Wisdom of God hath said—I will send forth, unto them, prophets and apostles, —and, some from among them, will they slay, and, [some] 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 hath been shed from the foundation of the world, may be sought out, from 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 Zachariah who was destroyed betwixt the altar and the house; Yea! I say unto you—It shall be sought out from 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.”
Alas for you, the lawyers! because ye took away the key of knowledge: yourselves, entered not, and, them who were entering, ye hindered.
53 Che Yesu ŵatyosile mwelemo, chitandile pelepo ŵakwiganya Malajisyo ni Mafalisayo ŵatandite kwachima kwannope ni kwausya mausyo gamajinji.
And, when, from thence, he came out, the Scribes and the Pharisees began, with vehemence, to be hemming him in, and trying to make him speak off-hand concerning many things, —
54 Ŵasakaga ŵatanjisye kwa maloŵe gao.
lying in wait for him, to catch something out of his mouth.
