Luke 11
1 Once Jesus was praying in a certain place. When he finished, one of his disciples asked him, “Lord, please teach us to pray, just as John taught his disciples.”
Akatungu kamwi Yesu aliga nasabhwa, oumwi wa abheigisibhwa bhaye namubhwila ati, “Lata Bhugenyi nuchiigishe okusabhwa lwakutyo Yoana eigisishe abheigisibhwa bhaye.”
2 Jesus told them, “When you pray, say, ‘Father, let your name be honored as holy. May your kingdom come.
Yesu nabhabhwila, Mukabha nimusabhwa, mwaike, “Lata, Lisina lyao likusibhwe. Obhukama bhwa bhuje.
3 Give us every day the food we need.
Uchiyane ebhilyo bhyeswe ebhya bhuli lunaku.
4 Forgive us our sins, just as we forgive everyone who sins against us. Keep us from temptation.’”
Uchisasile obhunyamuke bhweswe, lwakutyo eswe ona echisasila bhona bhanu abhachiyabhila. Waisiga okuchisindika chikaga mumasakwa.”
5 Jesus went on to tell them, “Say you have a friend and you go to him in the middle of the night and ask, ‘My friend, lend me three loaves of bread
Yesu nabhabhwila ati, “Niga kwimwe oyo ali no omusani, namujako ingeta, namubhwila, 'musani nuunsakile emikate esatu.
6 because a friend of mine has come to visit me, and I don't have any food to give him.’
Kulwokubha omusani wani akinga olyanu okusoka lugendo, kanye nitanachakumulisha.'
7 Your friend in the house might reply, ‘Don't bother me—I've already locked the door, and I and my children have gone to bed. I can't get up to give you anything now.’
Mbe kaunu ali munyumba namusubhya ati, siga kunyasha, negaye omulyango, anye na abhana bhani chamamile kubhulili. Nitakutula kwimuka nokukuyana emikate.
8 I tell you, even though he refuses to get up and give you anything, despite you being his friend, if you are persistent, your friend will get up and give you everything you need.
Mbe enibhabhwila ati nolwo akabhula okwimuka akuyane emikate awe omusani waye, kulwokubha ousinyilisha okumukononela utananswalo, kemuka nakuyana ebhibhala bhyafu ebhye emikate okwinganya na kutyo wamusabhilwe.
9 I tell you: ask, and you shall receive; seek, and you shall find; knock, and the door shall be opened to you.
Mbe anyone enibhabhwila ati, “Musabhwe, omuja okubhona, mulonde omuja okubhona, mukonone kumulyango omuja okwigulilwa.
10 For everyone who asks, receives; and everyone who seeks, finds; and to everyone who knocks the door will be opened.
Kulwokubha bhuli munu unu kasabhwa kayanwa, na unu kalonda kabhona, na unu kakonona, abhamwigulila omulyango.
11 Which of you fathers, if your son asks for a fish, would give him a snake instead?
Ali omwibhusi wa kutiki agati yemwe, unu omwana waye kasabhwa inswi ko omwene namuyana namuyana injoka?
12 Or if he asks for an egg, would you give him a scorpion?
Amo nasabhwa liuli ko omwene namuyana inge?
13 So if you, even though you are evil, still know to give good gifts to your children, how much more will the heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to those who ask him?”
Kulwejo kalabha emwe munyamukile no omumenya okuyana abhana bhemwe ebhiyanwa bhekisi, mbe Esomwana wemwe wa mulwire atabhakila okubha kasosha Mwoyo Mweru kubhanu abhamusabhwa?”
14 Jesus was driving out a demon that had made a man dumb. When the demon had left, the man who was dumb spoke, and the crowds were amazed.
Namala Yesu nagonya lisambwa linu lyaliga litakuloma kumunu, lyejile lyamusokako omunu oyo nabhona obhutulo bhwo okuloma. Abhanu ni bhalugula muno.
15 But some of them said, “He is driving out demons using the power of Beelzebub, the ruler of demons.”
Nawe abhanu bhandi nibhaika ati unu kabhilimya amasambwa kwa Belejebhuli, likulu lya amasambwa.
16 Others were trying to test Jesus by demanding a miraculous sign from heaven.
Abhandi nibhamulegeja nibhenda abholeshe echimenyegesho okuoka mulwire.
17 Jesus knew what they were thinking and said, “Any kingdom divided against itself will be destroyed. A family divided against itself will fall.
Nawe Yesu namenya ameganilisho gebhwe nabhabhwila ati, “Obhukama bhunu obhwitaganyisha obhwene obhunyalambuka na inyumba inu eitagana eigwa.
18 If Satan is divided against himself, how can his kingdom stand? You say that I cast out demons using the power of Beelzebub.
Labha Shetani akabha wokutagana tagana, obhukama bhwaye obhwimelegulu kutiki? Kulwokubha omwaika ati enibhilimya amasambwa kulwa Belejebhuli.
19 But if I drive out demons by the power of Beelzebub, by whose power do your own people drive them out? They themselves will condemn you as wrong!
Labha enigasoshako kulwa Belejebhuli, abhejanyu abhagabhilimya kwa njila ya kutiki? Kulwa injuno eyo, abhaja okubhalamula.
20 However, if I am driving out demons by the power of God, then this proves God's kingdom has arrived. It's right here among you!
Nawe labha enibhilimya amasambwa kwa amanaga ga Nyamuanga, mbe obhukama bhwa Nyamuanga bhwabhakingileko.
21 When a strong man who is fully armed guards his house, all he owns is safe.
Omunu wamanaga ali nechigwato akalinda inyumba yaye, ebhinu bhaye ebhibha bhikobhele.
22 But if a stronger man comes and defeats him, taking from him all his weapons that he depended on, then he can carry off all his possessions.
Nawe akengililwa no omunu wa amanaga amukilile, owamanaga kamusakula ebhigwato bhaye, namala nagega ebhinu bhaye bhona.
23 Anyone who is not with me is against me, and anyone who doesn't build together with me is breaking it all apart.
Mbe unu ataliamwi nanye oyo chitasikene, na unu atakusolosha amwi anye kanyalambula.
24 When an evil spirit leaves someone, it goes through the desert looking for a place to stay. When it doesn't find anywhere, it says, ‘I'll return to the house I left.’
Lisambwa libhibhi likasoka kumunu, eligenda okulonda ao gatali manji koleleki lifung'ame. Likabhulwanowokuja, elyaika ati, 'Enisubha eyo nasokele.
25 When it returns, it finds its old home is swept and tidy.
Likasubha, nilisanga inyumba ikukumbilwe na okondele.
26 So it goes and finds seven other spirits more evil than itself, and they go in and live there. In the end that man is worse off than before.”
Kulwejo eligenda okulonda amasambwa agandi musanju amabhibhi muno okukila elyene niligaleta gaje okwikala omwo. Mbe akekaliye ko omunu oyo akabha kabhibhi muno kukila kutyo aliga ali kubhwambilo.”
27 As he was speaking, a woman in the crowd called out, “Blessed is the womb from where you came and the breasts that nursed you.”
Mbe nijibha kutya aliga achaika emisango ejo, omugasi umwi asosishe obhulaka bhulela agati ya liijo naika ati, “Inda inu yakwibhuye na amabhele ganu wanenele gana libando.”
28 But Jesus said, “Even more blessed are those who hear God's word, and follow what it says.”
Nawe omwene nasubhya ati, “Bhanu bhali na amabhando ni bhanu abhongwa nonokugwata omusango gwa Nyamuanga.”
29 As people crowded around him, Jesus began telling them, “This is an evil generation for it's looking for some miraculous sign, but no sign will be given to it except the sign of Jonah.
Lyejile liijo lya abhanu lyekofyanya nokwiyongesha, Yesu namba okwaika ati, “Olwibhulo lunu nilunyamuke. Olulonda echimenyegesho, na chitalio echimenyegesho chinu bhaliyabhwa lindi tali chilya echa Yona.
30 In the same way that Jonah was a sign to the people of Nineveh, so will the Son of man be a sign to this generation.
Kunsonga lwakutyo Yona abhee chimenyegesho kubha Ninawi, nikwo no Omwana wa Adamu alibha chimenyegesho ku lwibhulo lunu.
31 The queen of the south will rise in the judgment together with the people of this generation and will condemn them, for she came from the ends of the earth to hear Solomon's wisdom, and now there is someone greater than Solomon here!
Olunaku lwa indamu Omugole wa mumalimbe alimelegulu no olwibhulo lunu nalulamula (nalutemela echina), kulwokubha omwene asokele kubhutelo bhwe echalo koleleki aje ategeleshe ombhwengeso bhwa Selemani, kanu alio unu akuliye Selemani.
32 The people of Nineveh rise in the judgment together with this generation, and will condemn it, for they repented when they heard Jonah's message, and now there's someone greater than Jonah here!
Abhanu bha Ninawi bhalimelegulu ingulu kulunaku olwa indamu nibhalwaika kubhibhi olwibhulo lunu! Kulwokubha Abhaninawi bhatee ebhibhi bhejile bhongwa omusango gwa Yona, mbe lola, anu alio unu akuliye Yona.
33 No one lights a lamp and then hides it or places it under a bowl. No, you put it on a lamp stand so that those who come into the house can see the light.
Atalio omunu wonawona unu kasha itala naitula emwalo muchisute amo emwalo ye echikapo, tali kasha naitula ingulu ye echinu koleleki bhuli munu unu kengila alole obhwelu. Eliso lyao ni tala yo mubhili gwao.
34 Your eye is the light for your body. When your eye is good, your whole body is full of light. But when your eye is bad, your body is in the dark.
Eliso lyao likabha lilikisi omubhili gao ogubha guli mu bwelu. Nawe eliso lyao likabha linyamukile mbe omubhili gwao ogubha guli muchisute.
35 So make sure the light you have in you is not actually darkness.
Kulwejo mwikenge koleleki obhwelu bhunu bhuli Munda yemwe bhutajamo echisute.
36 If your whole body is full of light, with no areas of darkness, then it will be completely illuminated, just as a bright lamp gives you light.”
Kulwejo, labha omubhili gwao gwona guli mubhwelu, na litalio ebhala linu lili muchisute, mbe omubhili gwao ogubha gwingene na itala inu eyaka no okusosha obhwelu kwemwe
37 After Jesus had finished speaking, a Pharisee invited him to come and eat with him. So Jesus went and sat down to a meal.
Ejile amala okwaika, Omufarisayo namukumilila alye ebhilyo ika ewaye, Yesu nengila munyumba neyanja age.
38 The Pharisee was surprised that Jesus didn't wash his hands before eating as ceremonially required.
Mbe Abhafarisayo nibhalugula okuloa nalya ebhilyo bhya kegolo atesabhile
39 So the Lord told him, “You Pharisees clean the outside of the cup and the dish, but inside you're full of greed and wickedness.
Nawe Lata Bugenyi nabhabhwila ati, “Emwe Abhafarisayo omwosha anja ye ebhikombe na amabhakuli, nawe munda yemwe mwijuye omululu no obhunyamuke.
40 You're so foolish! Don't you think the one who made the outside made the inside as well?
Emwe bhanu mutali na bhumenyi, Unu yangile anja atayangile na munda?
41 If, acting from within, you do acts of kindness to others, then everything will be clean to you.
Muyane abhataka ganu gali munda, amagambo gona nigabha makonde kwemwe.
42 Shame on you Pharisees! You pay tithe on herbs and plants, but you neglect justice and the love of God. You need to pay attention to the latter, while not leaving the former things undone.
Nawe Jilibhabhona emwe Abhafarisayo, kulwokubha omusosha imwi kwi kumi eyo mubhabhayi no omuchicha na bhuli luganda lwe emikubhi ja mumugunda. Nawe musigile emisango jo obhulengelesi no okwenda Nyamuanga, Nijakisi muno okukola ago obhulengelesi no okwenda Nyamuanga, no obhutasiga okukola agandi ago gona.
43 Shame on you Pharisees! You love to have the best seats in the synagogues, and to be greeted with respect when you go to the markets.
Ejibhabhona Abhafarisayo, kulwokubha omwenda okwiyanja kubhitebhe bhya imbele mumasinagogi nokulamila jinkesha eje chibhalo mumagulilo.
44 Shame on you! You are like unmarked graves that people walk over without knowing.”
Ejibhabhona, kulwokubha omususana ne ebhitulo bhinu bhitali na chibhalikisho bhinu abhanu abhatajako ingulu obhutamenya.”
45 One of the experts in religious law reacted, saying, “Teacher, when you talk like this, you're insulting us too!”
Omwiigisha umwi we ebhilagilo bhye Echiyaudi namusubhya no okumubhwila ati, “Mwiigisha, echo owaika echichinyola eswe ona.”
46 Jesus replied, “Shame on you lawyers too! You place burdens on people that are too hard to carry, but you don't lift a finger to help them.
Yesu naika ati, “Ejibhabhona, abheigisha bhe ebhilagilo! Kulwokubha omubhatwika emijigo misito jinu bhatakutula kwitika, nawe emwe silisili mutajikunyako emijigo ejo nolwo ku chimwi che ebhyala bhyemwe.
47 Shame on you! You build memorial tombs to honor the prophets, but it was your own fathers who killed them in the first place!
Ejibhabhona, kulwokubha omumbaka nokutulako ebhijukisho ku bhitulo bhya abhalagi bhanu bhetilwe nabha jaji bhemwe.
48 By doing this you are witnesses showing that you agree with what your fathers did. They killed the prophets, and you build their tombs!
Kulwejo emwe ona omwikilishanya ne emilimu jinu jakolelwe na bhajaji bhemwe, kulwokubha nichimali bhetile abhalagi bhanu omumbakila ebhijukisho kubhitulo bhyebhwe.
49 This is why God in his wisdom said, ‘I will send them prophets and apostles; some they will kill, and others they will persecute.’
Kulwa injuno eyo ona, obhwengeso bhwa Nyamuanga obhwaika ati, 'Enibhatumila abhalagi na jintumwa ona bhalibhanyasha no okwitako abhandi.
50 Consequently, this generation will be held accountable for the blood of all the prophets shed from the beginning of the world,
Olwibhulo lunu lulibhusibhwa ingulu ya abhalagi bhanu bhetilwe okwambila kubhwambilo bhwe echalo,
51 from the blood of Abel right up to the blood of Zachariah who was killed between the altar and the sanctuary. Yes, I tell you, this generation will be held accountable for all of it.
okusokelela kumanyinga ga Abeli okukinga ku manyinga ga Zakaria, unu etilwe agati na agati ya amajabhau na kubhweru. Yee, Enibhabhwila emwe, olwibhulo lunu lulibhusibhwa ingulu yejo jona.
52 Shame on you lawyers! You have removed the key of knowledge. You didn't go in yourselves, and you prevented others from going in too.”
Jilibhabhona emwe abheigisha bhe ebhilagilo bhya Abhayaudi, kulwokubha mugegele jinfungulujo ja kubhwenge; emwe abhene mutakwingila, na muganyishe bhanu bhaliga nibhengila.”
53 As Jesus was leaving, the religious teachers and the Pharisees began to attack him aggressively, asking questions to provoke him.
Yesu ejile amala okusoka ao, Abhandiki na Abhafarisayo bhamulemele nibhayakana nage ingulu ye emisango myafu.
54 They were hoping to catch him out, trying to get him to say something they could use against him.
Nibhalegeja okumugwatisha na amagambo gaye.
