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 on the second-first Sabbath while He was passing through the wheatfields, His disciples were plucking the ears and rubbing them with their hands to eat the grain.
2 Nambo Mafalisayo ŵane ŵausisye, “Uli, ligongo chi nkupanganya indu yangaikusachilwa kupanganyikwa pa Lyuŵa lya Kupumulila?”
And some of the Pharisees asked, "Why are you doing what the Law forbids on the Sabbath?"
3 Che Yesu ŵaajanjile, “Uli, ana nganinsyome iŵatite pakupanganya che Daudi pamo ni achinjakwe pijakwete sala?
"Have you never read so much as this," answered Jesus--"what David did when he and his followers 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 entered the house of God and took and ate the Presented Loaves and gave some to his followers--loaves which none but the Priests are allowed to eat?"
5 Nipele Che Yesu ŵaasalile, “Mwana jwa Mundu ali Ambuje ŵa Lyuŵa lya Kupumulila.”
"The Son of Man," He added, "is Lord of the Sabbath also."
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 had gone to the synagogue and was teaching there; and in the congregation was a man whose right arm was withered.
7 Ŵakwiganya Malajisyo ni Mafalisayo ŵalolechesyaga Che Yesu kuti alole pane channamye mundu pa Lyuŵa lya Kupumulila ni ŵanyawo akole chakwaŵechetela.
The Scribes and the Pharisees were on the watch to see whether He would cure him on the Sabbath that they might be able to bring 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.
He knew their thoughts, and said to the man with the withered arm, "Rise, and stand there in the middle." And 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, "I put it to you all whether we are allowed to do good on the Sabbath, or to do evil; to save a 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 looking round upon them all He said to the man, "Stretch out your arm." He did so, and the arm was restored.
11 Nambo ŵanyawo yachimile kwannope, nipele ŵaŵechetesyene achinsyene pe ichiŵatende Che Yesu.
But they were filled with madness, and began to discuss with one another what they should do to Jesus.
12 Pagapite moŵa kanandi Che Yesu ŵajawile kwitumbi kukupopela ni ŵachesisye chilo chose ali nkwapopela Akunnungu.
About that time He went out on one occasion into the hill country to pray; and He remained 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 He selected from among them 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
These were Simon, to whom also He had given the name of 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 called the Zealot;
16 ni che Yuda mwana ju che Yakobo ni che Yuda Isikaliote juŵangalawiche Che Yesu mmbujo.
James's relative Judas, and Judas Iscariot who proved to be 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.
With these He came down till He reached a level place, where there was a great crowd of His disciples, and a multitude of people from every part of Judaea, from Jerusalem, and from the sea-side district of Tyre and Sidon, who came to hear Him and to be cured of their diseases;
18 Ŵandu wo ŵaiche kukwapikanila Che Yesu ni kulamwa ilwele yao, nombewo ŵalamisye ŵaŵaliji nkulagaswa ni masoka.
and those who were tormented by foul spirits were cured.
19 Ŵandu wose ŵalinjile kwakwaya, pakuŵa machili gakulamya galiji ganinkwakopoka ni kwalamya wose.
The whole crowd were eager to touch Him, because power went forth from him and cured every one.
20 Che Yesu ŵagalauchile ŵakulijiganya ŵao ni kuti, “Nkwete upile ŵanyamwe unkwakulupilila Akunnungu, pakuŵa Umwenye wa Akunnungu uli wenu!
Then fixing His eyes upon His disciples, Jesus said to them, "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 your hunger shall be satisfied. "Blessed are you who now weep aloud, because you shall 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 men shall hate you and exclude you from their society and insult you, and spurn your very names as evil things, for the Son of 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.
"Be glad at such a time, and dance for joy; for your reward is great in Heaven; for that is just the way their forefathers behaved to the Prophets!
24 Nambo ulaje chiuŵe kukwenu ŵanyamwe ŵakusichila, pakuŵa upoche ŵenu chiuŵe wemale.
"But alas for you rich men, because you already have your consolation!
25 Ulaje chiuŵe kukwenu ŵanyamwe ŵankwikuta sambano, pakuŵa chijinkole sala. Ulaje chiuŵe kukwenu ŵanyamwe ŵankuseka sambano, pakuŵa chinchilila malilo ni kulila.
"Alas for you who now have plenty to eat, because you will be hungry! "Alas for you who laugh now, because you will mourn and weep aloud!
26 Ulaje chiuŵe kukwenu ŵanyamwe iŵaga ŵandu wose akunlapa, pakuŵa achambuje ŵao ŵaapanganyichisye iyoyo peyo ŵakulondola ŵa unami.
"Alas for you when men shall all have spoken well of you; for that is just the way their forefathers behaved to the false Prophets!
27 “Nambo ngunsalila ŵanyamwe ŵankumbikanila une kuti mwanonyele ŵammagongo ŵenu, mwapanganyichisye yambone ŵaakunchima.
"But to you who are listening to me I say, Love your enemies; seek the welfare of those who hate you;
28 Mwasachile upile ŵaakunlwesya ni mwapopelele ŵaakumpanganyichisya wamba.
bless those who curse you; pray for those who revile you.
29 Mundu amputaga lijanda pa lijeje limo mwagalauchisye ni liine. Ni mundu ansumulaga likoti lyenu munnechele ni mwinjilo wenu.
To him who gives you a blow on one side of the face offer the other side also; and to him who is robbing you of your outer garment refuse not the under one also.
30 Mundu jwalijose jwakummenda mumpe ni mundu ansumulaga chipanje chenu munansalile ammuchisye.
To every one who asks, give; and from him who takes away your property, do not demand it back.
31 Chinkusaka kuti ŵandu ampanganyichisye ŵanyamwe, iyoyo peyo mwapanganyichisye ŵanyawo.
And behave to your fellow men just as you would have them behave 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 it to you? Why, even bad men 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 are kind to those who are kind to you, what credit is it to you? Even bad men act thus.
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 hope to receive, what credit is it to you? Even bad men lend to their fellows so as to receive back an equal 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.
Nevertheless love your enemies, be beneficent; and lend without hoping for any repayment. Then your recompense shall 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 compassionate just as your Father is compassionate.
37 “Ngasimwalamula ŵane nombe ŵanyamwe nganlamulikwa, ngasimwalalatila ŵane nombe ŵanyamwe nganlalatilwa ni mwalechelesye ŵane ni ŵanyamwe chinnecheleswe.
"Judge not, and you shall not be judged; condemn not, and you shall not be condemned; pardon, and you shall be pardoned;
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 gifts shall be bestowed on you. Full measure, pressed, shaken down, and running over, shall they pour into your laps; for with the same measure that you use they shall measure to you in return."
39 Che Yesu ŵaatanjile achi chitagu chi, “Ana ŵangalola akukombola kwalongosya ŵangalola ajao? Ngaikomboleka! Wose chagwilile mwisimbo.
He also spoke to them in figurative language. "Can a blind man lead a blind man?" He asked; "would not both fall into the ditch?
40 Jwakulijiganya ngakumpunda jwakwiganya jwao, nambo jwalijose jwakulijiganya amalisyaga kulijiganya akuŵa mpela jwakwiganya jwao.
There is no disciple who is superior to his teacher; but every one whose instruction is complete will be like his teacher.
41 “Ligongo chi nkulolechesya chiswani chachili mu liso lya mpwenu nambo papopo ngankulola chitela chachili mu liso lyenu?
"And why look at the splinter in your brother's eye instead of giving careful attention to the beam in your own?
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 that splinter out of your eye,' when all the while you yourself do not see the beam in your own eye? Vain pretender! take the beam out of your own eye first, and then you will see clearly to take the splinter out of your brother's eye.
43 “Iyoyo peyo ngapagwa chitela chambone chachikusogola isogosi yangalimate ni ngapagwa chitela changalimate chachikusogola isogosi yambone.
"There is no good tree that yields unsound fruit, nor again any unsound tree that yields good fruit.
44 Chitela chachili chose chikumanyika kwa isogosi yakwe. Ŵandu ngakukombola kukaŵa isogosi ya tini pa chisukutu cha miiŵa atamuno sabibu pa nkwanga.
Every tree is known by its own fruit. It is not from thorns that men gather figs, nor from the bramble that they can get a bunch of grapes.
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.”
A good man from the good stored up in his heart brings out what is good; and an evil man from the evil stored up brings out what is evil; for from the overflow of his heart his mouth speaks.
46 “Kwachichi nkumilanga une, ‘Ambuje, Ambuje,’ nambo ngankupanganya ingusaka?
"And why do you all call me 'Master, Master' and yet not do what I tell you?
47 Chinannosye chitagu cha mundu jwalijose jwakwika kwangune ni kugapilikana maloŵe gangu ni kugapanganya,
Every one who comes to me and listens to my words and puts them in practice, I will show you whom 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 digs and goes deep, and lays the foundation on the rock; and when a flood comes, the torrent bursts upon that house, but is unable to shake it, because it is securely 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 he who has heard and not practised is like a man who has built a house upon the soft soil without a foundation, against which the torrent bursts, and immediately it collapses, and terrible is the wreck and ruin of that house."
