< 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.
On the second major Sabbath, Jesus was going through the grainfields, and his disciples were plucking heads of grain, rubbing off the husks in their hands, and eating them.
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 what is not lawful to do on the Sabbath?”
3 Che Yesu ŵaajanjile, “Uli, ana nganinsyome iŵatite pakupanganya che Daudi pamo ni achinjakwe pijakwete sala?
Jesus answered them, “Have you not read 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 entered the house of God and took and ate the bread of the Presence, which is not lawful for anyone to eat except for the priests, and how he also gave it to those who were with him?”
5 Nipele Che Yesu ŵaasalile, “Mwana jwa Mundu ali Ambuje ŵa Lyuŵa lya Kupumulila.”
Then he said to them, “The Son of 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.
On another Sabbath, Jesus went into 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.
Now the scribes and the Pharisees were watching Jesus closely to see if he would heal on the Sabbath, so that they could 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 withered hand, “Rise and stand here.” So he rose 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, “Let me 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 after looking around at them all, he said to the man, “Stretch out yoʋr hand.” The man did so, and his hand was restored, becoming as sound as the other.
11 Nambo ŵanyawo yachimile kwannope, nipele ŵaŵechetesyene achinsyene pe ichiŵatende Che Yesu.
But the scribes and Pharisees were filled with mindless rage and discussed 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.
One day soon afterward Jesus went out to the mountain to pray, and spent the whole night in prayer to God.
13 Pakwachele, ŵaaŵilasile ŵakulijiganya ŵao, mwa ŵanyawo ŵaasagwile ŵandu kumi na mbili ni kwaŵilanga achinduna.
When daybreak came, he called his disciples and chose twelve from among them, 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, 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 the son of Alphaeus, and Simon (who was called the Zealot),
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.
Then Jesus came down with them and stood on a level place. A crowd of his disciples was there along with a great multitude of people from all Judea, Jerusalem, and the coastal region of Tyre and Sidon (who had come 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 people who were harassed by unclean spirits. And they 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 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!
Then he looked up at his disciples and 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 others hate you, when they exclude you, reproach you, and spurn your name as evil on account 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, for behold, 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 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 filled, 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 others 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 I say to 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, and 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 anyone strikes yoʋ on one cheek, offer him the other also. If anyone takes away yoʋr cloak, do not withhold yoʋr tunic from him either.
30 Mundu jwalijose jwakummenda mumpe ni mundu ansumulaga chipanje chenu munansalile ammuchisye.
Give to everyone who asks of yoʋ, and if anyone takes away yoʋr belongings, do not demand them back.
31 Chinkusaka kuti ŵandu ampanganyichisye ŵanyamwe, iyoyo peyo mwapanganyichisye ŵanyawo.
As you wish that others would do to you, do the same also to them.
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 benefit is that to you? For 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 who do good to you, what benefit is that to you? For 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 receive something back, what benefit is that to you? For even sinners lend to other sinners in order to receive back the same amount.
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 without expecting anything 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 the evil.
36 Mmeje ni chanasa mpela Atati ŵenu yatite pakuŵa ni chanasa.
Therefore 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 certainly not be judged. Do not condemn, and you will certainly 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 put into your lap. For with the same measure you use it will be measured to you in return.”
39 Che Yesu ŵaatanjile achi chitagu chi, “Ana ŵangalola akukombola kwalongosya ŵangalola ajao? Ngaikomboleka! Wose chagwilile mwisimbo.
He also told them a parable: “Can one blind person guide another? 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 yoʋ see the speck in yoʋr brother's eye, but do not consider the beam in yoʋr 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 yoʋ say to yoʋr brother, ‘Brother, let me take the speck out of yoʋr eye,’ when yoʋ yoʋrself do not see the beam in yoʋr own eye? Hypocrite! First take the beam out of yoʋr own eye, and then yoʋ will see clearly to take the speck out of yoʋr brother's eye.
43 “Iyoyo peyo ngapagwa chitela chambone chachikusogola isogosi yangalimate ni ngapagwa chitela changalimate chachikusogola isogosi yambone.
“No good tree produces bad fruit, nor does a bad 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 thorns, nor do they pick grapes from a bramble bush.
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 person brings good things out of the good treasure of his heart, and the evil person brings evil things out of the evil treasure of his heart, for out of the abundance of his heart his mouth speaks.
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,
I will show you what someone is like who comes to me, 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 deep and laid a foundation on the rock. When a flood came, the river burst against that house but could not shake it, for it was founded on the rock.
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 hears my words and does not act accordingly is like a man who built a house on the ground without a foundation. As soon as the river burst against that house, it fell and was utterly destroyed.”
