< 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.
Now it happened on a second-first Sabbath that He was passing through the grain fields, and His disciples began to pick and eat the heads of grain, rubbing them in their hands.
2 Nambo Mafalisayo ŵane ŵausisye, “Uli, ligongo chi nkupanganya indu yangaikusachilwa kupanganyikwa pa Lyuŵa lya Kupumulila?”
But some of the Pharisees said to them, “Why are you doing that which is not lawful to do on the Sabbath?”
3 Che Yesu ŵaajanjile, “Uli, ana nganinsyome iŵatite pakupanganya che Daudi pamo ni achinjakwe pijakwete sala?
So in answer to them Jesus said: “Have you not even read this, what David did when he was hungry, he and those who were with him:
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.”
how he went into the house of God, took and ate the showbread, and even gave it to those with him—that which only the priests are allowed to eat?”
5 Nipele Che Yesu ŵaasalile, “Mwana jwa Mundu ali Ambuje ŵa Lyuŵa lya Kupumulila.”
Then He said to them, “The Son of the Man is Lord even 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.
Now it happened on a different Sabbath that He entered the synagogue and began to teach. Well there was a man there whose right hand was shriveled;
7 Ŵakwiganya Malajisyo ni Mafalisayo ŵalolechesyaga Che Yesu kuti alole pane channamye mundu pa Lyuŵa lya Kupumulila ni ŵanyawo akole chakwaŵechetela.
so the scribes and the Pharisees started watching, to see if He would heal on the Sabbath, so that they might find an accusation against Him.
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 He knew their thoughts and said to the man with the shriveled hand, “Get up and stand in the center.” So he got up and stood.
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 will ask you something: Is it lawful on the Sabbath to do good or to do evil, to save life or to kill?”
10 Ŵaalolechesye ŵandu wose kosekose uŵaliji pepala ni ŵansalile mundu jo, “Njongole nkono ŵenu.” Nombejo ŵaujongwele ni nkono wakwe wakwete machili.
And when He had looked around at them all, He said to him, “Stretch out your hand!” So he did that, and his hand was restored, as sound as the other.
11 Nambo ŵanyawo yachimile kwannope, nipele ŵaŵechetesyene achinsyene pe ichiŵatende Che Yesu.
But they 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.
Now it happened in those days that He went out to the mountain to pray, and He continued all night in prayer to God.
13 Pakwachele, ŵaaŵilasile ŵakulijiganya ŵao, mwa ŵanyawo ŵaasagwile ŵandu kumi na mbili ni kwaŵilanga achinduna.
When it was day He called His disciples, and from them He chose twelve, whom He also named 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 also named Peter) and Andrew his brother, James and John, Phillip 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 (the son of Alphaeus) and Simon (the one called ‘Zealot’),
16 ni che Yuda mwana ju che Yakobo ni che Yuda Isikaliote juŵangalawiche Che Yesu mmbujo.
Judas of James and Judas Iscariot (who also became ‘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 He came down with them and stood on a level place, with a crowd of His disciples and a great multitude of people from all Judea and Jerusalem, also from the seacoast of Tyre and Sidon, who came to hear Him and to be healed of their diseases,
18 Ŵandu wo ŵaiche kukwapikanila Che Yesu ni kulamwa ilwele yao, nombewo ŵalamisye ŵaŵaliji nkulagaswa ni masoka.
as well as those who were being harassed by unclean spirits—and they were being healed!
19 Ŵandu wose ŵalinjile kwakwaya, pakuŵa machili gakulamya galiji ganinkwakopoka ni kwalamya wose.
So the whole crowd kept trying to touch Him, because power was going out from Him and was healing all.
20 Che Yesu ŵagalauchile ŵakulijiganya ŵao ni kuti, “Nkwete upile ŵanyamwe unkwakulupilila Akunnungu, pakuŵa Umwenye wa Akunnungu uli wenu!
Then He raised His eyes toward His disciples and said: “Blessed are you poor, because the Kingdom of God is yours.
21 Nsangalale ŵanyamwe ŵajinkwete sala sambano, pakuŵa chinjikute. Nsangalale ŵanyamwe ŵankulila sambano, pakuŵa chinseche.
Blessed are you who hunger now, because you will be filled. Blessed are you who weep now, because 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 whenever men hate you, and whenever they exclude you and heap insults on you and trash your name as ‘malignant’, for the Son of the Man's sake.
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 skip about! Because your reward really is great in Heaven; for that is how their fathers treated the prophets.
24 Nambo ulaje chiuŵe kukwenu ŵanyamwe ŵakusichila, pakuŵa upoche ŵenu chiuŵe wemale.
“But woe to you who are rich! because 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 full! because you will go hungry. Woe to you who are presently laughing! because you will mourn and weep.
26 Ulaje chiuŵe kukwenu ŵanyamwe iŵaga ŵandu wose akunlapa, pakuŵa achambuje ŵao ŵaapanganyichisye iyoyo peyo ŵakulondola ŵa unami.
Woe, when all men speak well of you; for that is how their fathers treated the false prophets!
27 “Nambo ngunsalila ŵanyamwe ŵankumbikanila une kuti mwanonyele ŵammagongo ŵenu, mwapanganyichisye yambone ŵaakunchima.
“Further, to you who are listening 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.
To him who strikes you on the cheek, offer also the other; and from him who takes away your cloak, do not withhold the tunic as well.
30 Mundu jwalijose jwakummenda mumpe ni mundu ansumulaga chipanje chenu munansalile ammuchisye.
Give to everyone who asks of you; and from him who takes away your things, do not demand them back.
31 Chinkusaka kuti ŵandu ampanganyichisye ŵanyamwe, iyoyo peyo mwapanganyichisye ŵanyawo.
Yes, like you want people to treat you, that is just how you must treat them.
32 “Iŵaga nkwanonyela pe ŵakunnonyela ŵanyamwe, ana chimpate mbote chi? Ngapagwa! Atamuno ŵaali ni sambi nombewo akwanonyela ŵakwanonyela.
Also, 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.
And if you do good to those doing 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 to get it back, what credit is that to you? Even ‘sinners’ lend to ‘sinners’, to receive an equal value back.
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.
“So, love your enemies, and do good, and lend, expecting nothing back; and your reward will be great, and you will be sons of the Most High; because He is kind toward the ungrateful and wicked.
36 Mmeje ni chanasa mpela Atati ŵenu yatite pakuŵa ni chanasa.
So be compassionate, even as your Father is compassionate.
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 and shaken together and running over—will they deposit in your lap. Because with the same measure that 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.
Then He told them a parable: “Can a blind man guide a blind man? Will they not both fall into a ditch?
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 do not consider the plank that is 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.
Or how can you say to your brother, ‘Brother, let me remove the speck that is in your eye,’ when you yourself do not see the plank that is in your own eye? Hypocrite! First remove the plank from your own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck that is in your brother's eye.
43 “Iyoyo peyo ngapagwa chitela chambone chachikusogola isogosi yangalimate ni ngapagwa chitela changalimate chachikusogola isogosi yambone.
“Now no good tree produces rotten fruit, nor does a rotten tree produce good fruit
44 Chitela chachili chose chikumanyika kwa isogosi yakwe. Ŵandu ngakukombola kukaŵa isogosi ya tini pa chisukutu cha miiŵa atamuno sabibu pa nkwanga.
—each tree is known by its own fruit: people do not gather figs from thorn bushes, nor do they pick a bunch of grapes from a bramble.
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 produces the good out of the good treasure in his heart, and the malignant man produces the malignant out of the malignant treasure in his heart; because his mouth speaks out of the abundance of the heart.
46 “Kwachichi nkumilanga une, ‘Ambuje, Ambuje,’ nambo ngankupanganya ingusaka?
“Why do you call me, ‘Lord, Lord’, and not do what I say?
47 Chinannosye chitagu cha mundu jwalijose jwakwika kwangune ni kugapilikana maloŵe gangu ni kugapanganya,
Everyone who comes to me and hears my words and does them—I will show you who he is like:
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 the foundation on the bedrock. When a flood occurred, the torrent burst upon that house but could not shake it, because it was founded on the bedrock.
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 he who heard and did nothing is like a man who built his house on the ground without a foundation, against which the torrent burst, and immediately it fell; and the ruin of that house was great.”
