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 while Jesus was walking through grainfields, his disciples began picking some heads of grain, rubbing them in their hands, and eating them.
2 Nambo Mafalisayo ŵane ŵausisye, “Uli, ligongo chi nkupanganya indu yangaikusachilwa kupanganyikwa pa Lyuŵa lya Kupumulila?”
Some of the Pharisees questioned him, asking, “Why are you doing what is not permitted on the Sabbath?”
3 Che Yesu ŵaajanjile, “Uli, ana nganinsyome iŵatite pakupanganya che Daudi pamo ni achinjakwe pijakwete sala?
Jesus replied, “Have you never read what David did when he and his men 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.”
How he went into the house of God and took the consecrated bread? He ate it, and gave it to his men too. That's not permitted either. The consecrated bread is only for the priests.”
5 Nipele Che Yesu ŵaasalile, “Mwana jwa Mundu ali Ambuje ŵa Lyuŵa lya Kupumulila.”
Then he told them, “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 he went into the synagogue to teach. A man was there with a crippled right hand.
7 Ŵakwiganya Malajisyo ni Mafalisayo ŵalolechesyaga Che Yesu kuti alole pane channamye mundu pa Lyuŵa lya Kupumulila ni ŵanyawo akole chakwaŵechetela.
The religious teachers and the Pharisees were observing Jesus closely to see if he would heal on the Sabbath. They wanted to find something to accuse him of.
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 what was in their minds. He told the man with the crippled hand, “Get up, and stand here in front of everyone.” The man 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 turned to them and said, “Let me ask you a question. Is it legal to do good on the Sabbath, or to do bad? 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.
He looked round at all of them there. Then he said to the man, “Hold out your hand.” The man did so, and his hand became like new.
11 Nambo ŵanyawo yachimile kwannope, nipele ŵaŵechetesyene achinsyene pe ichiŵatende Che Yesu.
But they flew into a rage, and began to discuss what they could do to Jesus.
12 Pagapite moŵa kanandi Che Yesu ŵajawile kwitumbi kukupopela ni ŵachesisye chilo chose ali nkwapopela Akunnungu.
One day shortly after, Jesus went up a mountain to pray. He remained there all night, praying to God.
13 Pakwachele, ŵaaŵilasile ŵakulijiganya ŵao, mwa ŵanyawo ŵaasagwile ŵandu kumi na mbili ni kwaŵilanga achinduna.
When morning came he called together his disciples, and chose twelve of them. These are the names of the 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 (also called Peter by Jesus), Andrew his brother, James, John, Philip, 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, Thomas, James the son of Alphaeus, Simon the Revolutionary,
16 ni che Yuda mwana ju che Yakobo ni che Yuda Isikaliote juŵangalawiche Che Yesu mmbujo.
Judas the 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.
Jesus went back down the mountain with them, and stopped at a place where there was some flat ground. There a crowd made up of his disciples and many other people from all over Judea, Jerusalem, and the sea coast of Tyre and Sidon, had gathered to listen to him and to be cured from their diseases.
18 Ŵandu wo ŵaiche kukwapikanila Che Yesu ni kulamwa ilwele yao, nombewo ŵalamisye ŵaŵaliji nkulagaswa ni masoka.
Those who were troubled by evil spirits were also healed.
19 Ŵandu wose ŵalinjile kwakwaya, pakuŵa machili gakulamya galiji ganinkwakopoka ni kwalamya wose.
Everyone in the crowd tried to touch him, because power was coming out 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 at his disciples, Jesus told them,
21 Nsangalale ŵanyamwe ŵajinkwete sala sambano, pakuŵa chinjikute. Nsangalale ŵanyamwe ŵankulila sambano, pakuŵa chinseche.
“How happy are you who are poor, for the kingdom of God is yours. How happy are you who are hungry now, for you will eat all you need. How happy are you who are weeping 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.
How happy are you when people hate you, exclude you, insult you, and curse your name as evil because of me, 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.
When that day comes, be happy. Jump for joy, for great is your reward in heaven. Don't forget their forefathers mistreated the prophets just like this.
24 Nambo ulaje chiuŵe kukwenu ŵanyamwe ŵakusichila, pakuŵa upoche ŵenu chiuŵe wemale.
But how sad are you who are rich, for you have already received your reward.
25 Ulaje chiuŵe kukwenu ŵanyamwe ŵankwikuta sambano, pakuŵa chijinkole sala. Ulaje chiuŵe kukwenu ŵanyamwe ŵankuseka sambano, pakuŵa chinchilila malilo ni kulila.
How sad are you who are full now, for you will become hungry. How sad are you who laugh now, for you will mourn and cry.
26 Ulaje chiuŵe kukwenu ŵanyamwe iŵaga ŵandu wose akunlapa, pakuŵa achambuje ŵao ŵaapanganyichisye iyoyo peyo ŵakulondola ŵa unami.
How sad are you when everyone praises you. Don't forget that their forefathers praised false prophets just like this.
27 “Nambo ngunsalila ŵanyamwe ŵankumbikanila une kuti mwanonyele ŵammagongo ŵenu, mwapanganyichisye yambone ŵaakunchima.
But I say to those of you who are listening: 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 hits you on one cheek, turn the other cheek. If someone takes your coat, don't prevent them taking your shirt.
30 Mundu jwalijose jwakummenda mumpe ni mundu ansumulaga chipanje chenu munansalile ammuchisye.
Give to anyone who asks you. If someone takes something from you, don't ask for it back.
31 Chinkusaka kuti ŵandu ampanganyichisye ŵanyamwe, iyoyo peyo mwapanganyichisye ŵanyawo.
Do to others what you want them to 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, why should you deserve any credit for that? 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, why should you deserve any credit for that either? Sinners do that as well.
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.
If you lend money expecting to be repaid, why should you deserve any credit for that? Sinners lend money to other sinners as well, expecting to be repaid what they loaned.
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.
No: love your enemies, do good to them, and lend without expecting to be repaid anything. Then you will receive a great reward, and you will be children of the Most High God, for he is kind to ungrateful and wicked people.
36 Mmeje ni chanasa mpela Atati ŵenu yatite pakuŵa ni chanasa.
Be compassionate, just as your Father is compassionate.
37 “Ngasimwalamula ŵane nombe ŵanyamwe nganlamulikwa, ngasimwalalatila ŵane nombe ŵanyamwe nganlalatilwa ni mwalechelesye ŵane ni ŵanyamwe chinnecheleswe.
Don't judge, and you won't be judged; don't condemn, and you won't be condemned; forgive, and you'll 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 you will be given generously in return. When what you're given is measured out, it's pressed down so more can be added, spilling out over the top, pouring into your lap! For how much you give will determine how much you receive.”
39 Che Yesu ŵaatanjile achi chitagu chi, “Ana ŵangalola akukombola kwalongosya ŵangalola ajao? Ngaikomboleka! Wose chagwilile mwisimbo.
Then he illustrated the point: “Can a blind person lead another? Wouldn't they both fall into a ditch?
40 Jwakulijiganya ngakumpunda jwakwiganya jwao, nambo jwalijose jwakulijiganya amalisyaga kulijiganya akuŵa mpela jwakwiganya jwao.
Do students know more than the teacher? Only when they've learned everything: then they will be like their teacher.
41 “Ligongo chi nkulolechesya chiswani chachili mu liso lya mpwenu nambo papopo ngankulola chitela chachili mu liso lyenu?
Why are you so worried about the speck that's in your brother's eye when you don't even notice the plank that's 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 to your brother, ‘Brother, let me take out the speck that's in your eye,’ when you don't even see the plank that's in your own eye? Hypocrite! Take out the plank from your own eye first, and then you'll be able to see well enough to take out the speck from your brother's eye.
43 “Iyoyo peyo ngapagwa chitela chambone chachikusogola isogosi yangalimate ni ngapagwa chitela changalimate chachikusogola isogosi yambone.
A good tree doesn't produce bad fruit, and a bad tree doesn't 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.
You recognize a tree by the fruit it produces. You don't pick figs from thorn bushes, or harvest 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.”
Good people produce what's good from the good things they value that they have stored inside them. Bad people produce what's bad from the bad things they have stored inside them. What fills people's minds spills out in what they say.
46 “Kwachichi nkumilanga une, ‘Ambuje, Ambuje,’ nambo ngankupanganya ingusaka?
So why do you bother to call me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ when you don't do what I say?
47 Chinannosye chitagu cha mundu jwalijose jwakwika kwangune ni kugapilikana maloŵe gangu ni kugapanganya,
I'll give you an example of someone who comes to me, hears my instructions, and follows 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.
That person is like a man building a house. He digs down deep and lays the foundations on solid rock. When the river bursts its banks and the floodwater breaks against the house it's not damaged because it's built so well.
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!”
The person who hears me but doesn't do what I say is like a man who builds a house without foundations. When the floodwater breaks against the house it collapses immediately—it's completely destroyed.”
