< Luka 6 >
1 Nambo Lyuŵa lya Kupumulila, Che Yesu ŵaliji nkupita mu migunda ja ngano ni ŵakulijiganya ŵao ŵatandite kutema masache ga ngano, ŵagatikite ni kutauna.
One Sabbath Jesus was passing through the grainfields, and His disciples began to pick the heads of grain, rub them in their hands, and eat them.
2 Nambo Mafalisayo ŵane ŵausisye, “Uli, ligongo chi nkupanganya indu yangaikusachilwa kupanganyikwa pa Lyuŵa lya Kupumulila?”
But some of the Pharisees asked, “Why are you doing what is unlawful on the Sabbath?”
3 Che Yesu ŵaajanjile, “Uli, ana nganinsyome iŵatite pakupanganya che Daudi pamo ni achinjakwe pijakwete sala?
Jesus replied, “Have you not read what David did when he and his companions were hungry?
4 Jwelejo ŵajinjile pa Nyuumba ja Akunnungu ni ŵajigele mikate jijaŵichikwe paali Akunnungu, ŵalile ni kwapa achinjakwe. Sooni Malajisyo gakukanya mundu jwali jose kulya mikate jo ikaŵe ŵambopesi pe.”
He entered the house of God, took the consecrated bread and gave it to his companions, and ate what is lawful only for the priests to eat.”
5 Nipele Che Yesu ŵaasalile, “Mwana jwa Mundu ali Ambuje ŵa Lyuŵa lya Kupumulila.”
Then Jesus declared, “The Son of Man is Lord of the Sabbath.”
6 Lyuŵa lya Kupumulila liine, Che Yesu ŵajinjile mu nyuumba ja kupopelela ni kwiganya. Mmomo pemo, mwaliji ni mundu jwapombotele nkono wa kundyo.
On another Sabbath Jesus entered the synagogue and was teaching, and a man was there whose right hand was withered.
7 Ŵakwiganya Malajisyo ni Mafalisayo ŵalolechesyaga Che Yesu kuti alole pane channamye mundu pa Lyuŵa lya Kupumulila ni ŵanyawo akole chakwaŵechetela.
Looking for a reason to accuse Jesus, the scribes and Pharisees were watching Him closely to see if He would heal on the Sabbath.
8 Nambo Che Yesu ŵasimanyilile ng'anisyo syao ni ŵansalile jwapombotele nkono jo kuti, “Njimuche, njime paujo pa ŵandu.” Ni mundu jula ŵajawile ni kwima pepala.
But Jesus knew their thoughts and said to the man with the withered hand, “Get up and stand among us.” So he got up and stood there.
9 Nipele Che Yesu ŵaasalile, “Ngumbusya, Ana malajisyo getu gakuti uli kwambaga Lyuŵa lya Kupumulila? Ana tukukombola kupanganya yambone pane yangalimate? Ana tukukombola kuukulupusya umi wa mundu pane kuujonanga?”
Then Jesus said to them, “I ask you, which is lawful on the Sabbath: to do good or to do evil, to save life or to destroy it?”
10 Ŵaalolechesye ŵandu wose kosekose uŵaliji pepala ni ŵansalile mundu jo, “Njongole nkono ŵenu.” Nombejo ŵaujongwele ni nkono wakwe wakwete machili.
And after looking around at all of them, He said to the man, “Stretch out your hand.” He did so, and it was restored.
11 Nambo ŵanyawo yachimile kwannope, nipele ŵaŵechetesyene achinsyene pe ichiŵatende Che Yesu.
But the scribes and Pharisees were filled with rage and began to discuss with one another what they might do to Jesus.
12 Pagapite moŵa kanandi Che Yesu ŵajawile kwitumbi kukupopela ni ŵachesisye chilo chose ali nkwapopela Akunnungu.
In those days Jesus went out to the mountain to pray, and He spent the night in prayer to God.
13 Pakwachele, ŵaaŵilasile ŵakulijiganya ŵao, mwa ŵanyawo ŵaasagwile ŵandu kumi na mbili ni kwaŵilanga achinduna.
When daylight came, He called His disciples to Him and chose twelve of them, whom He also designated as apostles:
14 Che Simoni, sooni ŵaŵilanjikwe che Petulo liina liŵaŵilanjikwe ni Che Yesu ni che Andulea mpwao che Simoni ni che Yakobo ni che Yohana ni che Filipo ni che Batolomayo
Simon, whom He named Peter, and his brother Andrew; James and John; Philip and Bartholomew;
15 ni che Matayo ni che Tomasi ni che Yakobo mwana ju che Alufayo ni che Simoni, juŵaŵilanjikwe Selote, ligongo ŵaliji jwakumenyanila chilambo chakwe
Matthew and Thomas; James son of Alphaeus and Simon called the Zealot;
16 ni che Yuda mwana ju che Yakobo ni che Yuda Isikaliote juŵangalawiche Che Yesu mmbujo.
Judas son of James, and Judas Iscariot, who became a traitor.
17 Paŵatulwiche pamo nawo, Che Yesu ŵajimi pa chiŵata. Pelepo paliji ni mpingo wekulungwa wa ŵakulijiganya ŵao ni mpingo wa ŵandu ŵaŵatyosile mosemose ku Yudea ni ku Yelusalemu ni mbwani ja ku Tilo ni ku Sidoni.
Then Jesus came down with them and stood on a level place. A large crowd of His disciples was there, along with a great number of people from all over Judea, Jerusalem, and the sea coast of Tyre and Sidon.
18 Ŵandu wo ŵaiche kukwapikanila Che Yesu ni kulamwa ilwele yao, nombewo ŵalamisye ŵaŵaliji nkulagaswa ni masoka.
They had come to hear Him and to be healed of their diseases, and those troubled by unclean spirits were healed.
19 Ŵandu wose ŵalinjile kwakwaya, pakuŵa machili gakulamya galiji ganinkwakopoka ni kwalamya wose.
The entire crowd was trying to touch Him, because power was coming from Him and healing them all.
20 Che Yesu ŵagalauchile ŵakulijiganya ŵao ni kuti, “Nkwete upile ŵanyamwe unkwakulupilila Akunnungu, pakuŵa Umwenye wa Akunnungu uli wenu!
Looking up at His disciples, Jesus said: “Blessed are you who are poor, for yours is the kingdom of God.
21 Nsangalale ŵanyamwe ŵajinkwete sala sambano, pakuŵa chinjikute. Nsangalale ŵanyamwe ŵankulila sambano, pakuŵa chinseche.
Blessed are you who hunger now, for you will be filled. Blessed are you who weep now, for you will laugh.
22 “Nsangalale ŵanyamwe iŵaga chanchime ŵandu ni kulekangana nomwe ni kuntukana ni kunsala mwanyamwe kuti ŵangalumbana ligongo lya Mwana jwa Mundu.
Blessed are you when people hate you, and when they exclude you and insult you and reject your name as evil because of the Son of Man.
23 Nsangalale ni kutyala katema pachigakopochele gelego pakuŵa mbote jenu jili jekulungwa kwinani. Pakuŵa achambuje ŵao ŵapanganyichisye iyoyo peyo ŵakulondola ŵa Akunnungu.
Rejoice in that day and leap for joy, because great is your reward in heaven. For their fathers treated the prophets in the same way.
24 Nambo ulaje chiuŵe kukwenu ŵanyamwe ŵakusichila, pakuŵa upoche ŵenu chiuŵe wemale.
But woe to you who are rich, for you have already received your comfort.
25 Ulaje chiuŵe kukwenu ŵanyamwe ŵankwikuta sambano, pakuŵa chijinkole sala. Ulaje chiuŵe kukwenu ŵanyamwe ŵankuseka sambano, pakuŵa chinchilila malilo ni kulila.
Woe to you who are well fed now, for you will hunger. Woe to you who laugh now, for you will mourn and weep.
26 Ulaje chiuŵe kukwenu ŵanyamwe iŵaga ŵandu wose akunlapa, pakuŵa achambuje ŵao ŵaapanganyichisye iyoyo peyo ŵakulondola ŵa unami.
Woe to you when all men speak well of you, for their fathers treated the false prophets in the same way.
27 “Nambo ngunsalila ŵanyamwe ŵankumbikanila une kuti mwanonyele ŵammagongo ŵenu, mwapanganyichisye yambone ŵaakunchima.
But to those of you who will listen, I say: Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you,
28 Mwasachile upile ŵaakunlwesya ni mwapopelele ŵaakumpanganyichisya wamba.
bless those who curse you, pray for those who mistreat you.
29 Mundu amputaga lijanda pa lijeje limo mwagalauchisye ni liine. Ni mundu ansumulaga likoti lyenu munnechele ni mwinjilo wenu.
If someone strikes you on one cheek, turn to him the other also. And if someone takes your cloak, do not withhold your tunic as well.
30 Mundu jwalijose jwakummenda mumpe ni mundu ansumulaga chipanje chenu munansalile ammuchisye.
Give to everyone who asks you, and if anyone takes what is yours, do not demand it back.
31 Chinkusaka kuti ŵandu ampanganyichisye ŵanyamwe, iyoyo peyo mwapanganyichisye ŵanyawo.
Do to others as you would have them do to you.
32 “Iŵaga nkwanonyela pe ŵakunnonyela ŵanyamwe, ana chimpate mbote chi? Ngapagwa! Atamuno ŵaali ni sambi nombewo akwanonyela ŵakwanonyela.
If you love those who love you, what credit is that to you? Even sinners love those who love them.
33 Ni iŵaga chimwapanganyichisye yaili yambone ŵeŵala pe ŵakumpanganyichisya yambone, chimpate mbote chi? Nombe ŵaali ni sambi akupanganya iyoyo peyo.
If you do good to those who do good to you, what credit is that to you? Even sinners do the same.
34 Ni iŵaga chimwakongosye ŵeŵala pe ŵankwalolela kuti chachimuchisya, ana chimpate mbote chi? Nombe ŵaali ni sambi akwakongosya ŵaali ni sambi achinjao kuti ŵauchisye mpela chila chila.
And if you lend to those from whom you expect repayment, what credit is that to you? Even sinners lend to sinners, expecting to be repaid in full.
35 Nambo ŵanyamwe mwanonyele ŵammagongo ŵenu ni mwapanganyichisye yaili yambone. Nkongosye pangalolela kummuchisya. Ni mbote syenu sisiŵe syekulungwa ni ŵanyamwe chimme ŵanache ŵa Akunnungu Ŵakulu. Pakuŵa ŵelewo ali ŵambone kwa ŵeŵala ŵachigongomalo ŵangakutogolela.
But love your enemies, do good to them, and lend to them, expecting nothing in return. Then your reward will be great, and you will be sons of the Most High; for He is kind to the ungrateful and wicked.
36 Mmeje ni chanasa mpela Atati ŵenu yatite pakuŵa ni chanasa.
Be merciful, just as your Father is merciful.
37 “Ngasimwalamula ŵane nombe ŵanyamwe nganlamulikwa, ngasimwalalatila ŵane nombe ŵanyamwe nganlalatilwa ni mwalechelesye ŵane ni ŵanyamwe chinnecheleswe.
Do not judge, and you will not be judged. Do not condemn, and you will not be condemned. Forgive, and you will be forgiven.
38 Mwapeje ŵane yakusaka ni Akunnungu chachimpa ŵanyamwe. Elo, chinchipochela chipimo chambone chakugumbala, chechinyindile ni chekusangwisye ni kumwasika chichitajikwe mu misaku jenu. Pakuŵa chilachila chimpimile kwa ŵane ni chichocho chinchipimilwa ŵanyamwe ni Akunnungu.”
Give, and it will be given to you. A good measure, pressed down, shaken together, and running over will be poured into your lap. For with the measure you use, it will be measured back to you.”
39 Che Yesu ŵaatanjile achi chitagu chi, “Ana ŵangalola akukombola kwalongosya ŵangalola ajao? Ngaikomboleka! Wose chagwilile mwisimbo.
Jesus also told them a parable: “Can a blind man lead a blind man? Will they not both fall into a pit?
40 Jwakulijiganya ngakumpunda jwakwiganya jwao, nambo jwalijose jwakulijiganya amalisyaga kulijiganya akuŵa mpela jwakwiganya jwao.
A disciple is not above his teacher, but everyone who is fully trained will be like his teacher.
41 “Ligongo chi nkulolechesya chiswani chachili mu liso lya mpwenu nambo papopo ngankulola chitela chachili mu liso lyenu?
Why do you look at the speck in your brother’s eye, but fail to notice the beam in your own eye?
42 Pane nkukombola chinauli kunsalila mpwenu kuti, ‘Mpwanga, nninde kaje nantyosye chiswani chachili mu liso lyenu,’ ni akuno ngankulola chitela chachili mu liso lyenu mwasyene? Jwaulamba mmwejo! Ntyosye kaje chitela chachili mu liso lyenu, nipele chinlole uchenene pakuchityosya chiswani chachili mu liso lya mpwenu.
How can you say, ‘Brother, let me take the speck out of your eye,’ while you yourself fail to see the beam in your own eye? You hypocrite! First take the beam out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother’s eye.
43 “Iyoyo peyo ngapagwa chitela chambone chachikusogola isogosi yangalimate ni ngapagwa chitela changalimate chachikusogola isogosi yambone.
No good tree bears bad fruit, nor does a bad tree bear good fruit.
44 Chitela chachili chose chikumanyika kwa isogosi yakwe. Ŵandu ngakukombola kukaŵa isogosi ya tini pa chisukutu cha miiŵa atamuno sabibu pa nkwanga.
For each tree is known by its own fruit. Indeed, figs are not gathered from thornbushes, nor grapes from brambles.
45 Mundu jwambone akutyosya indu yambone yagosile mu ntima wakwe. Ni mundu jwangalumbana akutyosya yangalumbana yagosile mu ntima wakwe. Pakuŵa mundu akuŵecheta kutyochela mu yaigumbele mu ntima wakwe.”
The good man brings good things out of the good treasure of his heart, and the evil man brings evil things out of the evil treasure of his heart. For out of the overflow of the heart, the mouth speaks.
46 “Kwachichi nkumilanga une, ‘Ambuje, Ambuje,’ nambo ngankupanganya ingusaka?
Why do you call Me ‘Lord, Lord,’ but not do what I say?
47 Chinannosye chitagu cha mundu jwalijose jwakwika kwangune ni kugapilikana maloŵe gangu ni kugapanganya,
I will show you what he is like who comes to Me and hears My words and acts on them:
48 jwelejo akulandana ni mundu jwataŵile nyuumba, juŵasolesye paasi nnope mpaka palwala ni kutanda kutaŵa pepala. Pajanyele ula jekulungwa nnope meesi gasewiche ni kujigomba nyuumba jila nambo nganijitinganyika, pakuŵa jaliji jetaŵe kwakulimbila.
He is like a man building a house, who dug down deep and laid his foundation on the rock. When the flood came, the torrent crashed against that house but could not shake it, because it was well built.
49 Nambo mundu jwalijose jwakugapikanila maloŵe gangu nombejo anapanganye chachili chose, jwelejo akulandana ni mundu jwataŵile nyuumba jakwe pa nsanga, pangasolesya paasi nnope. Pajanyele ula jekulungwa nnope meesi gasewiche ni kujigomba nyuumba jila ni jagwile ni kugumuka jose!”
But the one who hears My words and does not act on them is like a man who built his house on ground without a foundation. The torrent crashed against that house, and immediately it fell—and great was its destruction!”
