Luke 11
1 AND it came to pass, as he was in a certain place praying, when he had done, one of his disciples said to him, Lord, teach us to pray, even as John also taught his disciples.
Awo olwatuuka Yesu ng’ali mu kifo ekimu ng’asaba, bwe yamaliriza, omu ku bayigirizwa be n’amugamba nti, “Mukama waffe, naawe tuyigirize okusaba nga Yokaana bwe yayigiriza abayigirizwa be.”
2 And he said unto them, When ye pray say, Our Father, which art in heaven, hallowed be thy name: thy kingdom come: thy will be done as in heaven so upon earth.
N’abagamba nti, “Bwe mubanga musaba mugambanga nti, “‘Kitaffe, Erinnya lyo litukuzibwe, obwakabaka bwo bujje.
3 Give us our necessary food, day by day:
Otuwenga buli lunaku emmere yaffe ey’olunaku.
4 and forgive us our sins, for we also forgive every one who is indebted to us. And bring us not into temptation; but deliver us from the wicked one.
Era otusonyiwe ebyonoono byaffe, nga naffe bwe tusonyiwa abatukolako ebisobyo. So totutwala mu kukemebwa.’”
5 And he said unto them, Which of you shall have a friend, and he shall go to him at midnight, and say to him, Friend, lend me three loaves;
Ate n’abagamba nti, “Singa omu ku mmwe alina mukwano gwe, n’ajja gy’ali ekiro mu ttumbi n’amugamba nti, ‘Mukwano gwange, nkusaba ompoleyo emigaati esatu,
6 for a friend of mine is come to me off a journey, and I have nothing to set before him.
kubanga nfunye omugenyi, mukwano gwange avudde lugendo, naye sirina kyakulya kya kumuwa.’”
7 And he from within answering, shall say, Give me no farther trouble: my door is already locked, and my children are with me in bed; I am unable to rise and give thee.
“Oli ali munda mu nju bw’ayanukula nti, ‘Tonteganya. Twasibyewo dda, ffenna n’abaana bange twebisse. Noolwekyo siyinza kugolokoka kaakano ne mbaako kye nkuwa.’
8 I tell you, though even he would not rise and give him because he is his friend; yet because of his importunity, roused up, he will give him as many as he needeth.
Naye mbategeeza nti, Newaakubadde nga tagolokoka n’amuyamba nga mukwano gwe, naye, singa akonkona n’amwetayirira, alwaddaaki agolokoka n’amuwa by’amusabye.
9 And I say unto you, Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you.
“Bwe ntyo mbagamba nti, musabe munaaweebwa, munoonye mulizuula, mukonkone era munaggulirwawo.
10 For every one who asketh, receiveth; and he that seeketh, findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened.
Kubanga buli asaba, aweebwa, n’oyo anoonya, azuula, era n’oyo akonkona aggulirwawo.
11 For what father of you, if his son ask a loaf, will he give him a stone? or if a fish, will he for a fish give him a serpent?
“Ani ku mmwe kitaawe w’omwana, omwana we ng’amusabye ekyennyanja, mu kifo ky’ekyennyanja n’amuwa omusota?
12 or if he ask also an egg, will he give him a scorpion?
Oba ng’amusabye eggi n’amuwa enjaba?
13 If ye then, evil as ye are, know how to give good gifts to your children; how much more shall your Father, who is in heaven, give his Holy Spirit to those who ask him?
Kale obanga mmwe ababi muwa abaana bammwe ebirungi, Kitammwe ali mu ggulu talisinga nnyo okubawa Mwoyo Mutukuvu abo abamusaba?”
14 And he was casting out a devil, and it was dumb. And it came to pass, when the devil was gone out, the dumb person spake, and the people marvelled.
Lwali lumu Yesu n’agoba dayimooni ku musajja eyali tayogera. Dayimooni bwe yamuvaako, omusajja oyo n’ayogera, ekibiina ky’abantu ne beewuunya.
15 But some of them said, He casteth out devils by Beelzebub the prince of the devils.
Naye abantu abamu ne bagamba nti, “Agoba baddayimooni, kubanga amaanyi g’akozesa agaggya wa Beeruzebuli omukulu wa baddayimooni!”
16 But others, tempting him, sought of him a sign from heaven.
Abalala ne bamusaba akabonero akava mu ggulu nga bamugezesa.
17 But he, knowing their thoughts, said to them, Every kingdom divided against itself is laid waste; and a house against a house, falleth.
Naye Yesu bwe yamanya ebirowoozo byabwe, kwe kubagamba nti, “Obwakabaka bwe bulwanagana bwokka, buba bwolekedde kuzikirira, amaka bwe gayawukanamu gokka ne gokka gasasika.
18 And if Satan also be divided against himself, how shall his kingdom be established? because ye say, that I cast out devils by Beelzebub.
Noolwekyo, singa Setaani yeerwanyisa yekka obwakabaka bwe buyinza butya okuyimirirawo? Kubanga mugamba nti ngoba baddayimooni ku lwa Beeruzebuli.
19 But if I by Beelzebub cast out devils, by whom do your sons cast them out? therefore they shall be your judges.
Era obanga Nze ngoba baddayimooni ku bwa Beeruzebuli kale abaana bammwe bo babagoba ku bw’ani? Be bagenda okubasalira omusango.
20 But if with the finger of God I cast out devils, then, verily the kingdom of God is come unto you.
Naye obanga ngoba baddayimooni mu buyinza bwa Katonda, ekyo kikakasa nti obwakabaka bwa Katonda buzze gye muli.
21 When a strong man, in complete armour, guards his palace, his goods are in peace.
“Kubanga omuntu ow’amaanyi bw’akuuma amaka ge, nga yenna yeesibye ebyokulwanyisa eby’amaanyi, tewaba ayinza kumutwalako bintu bye.
22 But when a stronger person than he coming, vanquisheth him, he takes away his suit of armour in which he confided, and distributes the spoils.
Naye omuntu omulala amusinza amaanyi bw’amulumba amuggyako ebyokulwanyisa bye, bye yali yeesiga, n’atwala ebintu bye byonna, n’abigabira abalala.
23 He that is not with me is against me; and he that gathereth not with me, scattereth abroad.
“Oyo atali ku ludda lwange, mulabe wange, n’oyo atakuŋŋaanyiza wamu nange asaasaanya.
24 When the unclean spirit goeth out of a man, he passes through places destitute of water, seeking repose; and not finding it, saith, I will go back to my habitation from whence I came out:
“Omwoyo ogutali mulongoofu bwe guva mu muntu guyita mu malungu nga gunoonya aw’okuwummulira. Bwe gubulwa, gugamba nti, ‘Nzija kuddayo mu nnyumba mwe nava.’
25 and coming, he findeth it swept and furnished.
Bwe guddayo gusanga ennyumba ng’eyereddwa era nga ntegeke.
26 Then goeth he, and taketh seven other spirits, more wicked than himself; and they entering in, take up their abode there: and the last state of that man is worse than the first.
Kyeguva gugenda ne gufunayo emyoyo emirala musanvu egigusingako obwonoonefu, ne giyingirira omuntu oyo. Kale embeera y’omuntu oyo ey’oluvannyuma n’ebeera mbi nnyo okusinga eyasooka.”
27 And it came to pass as he was speaking these words, a certain woman from among the multitude lift up her voice, and said unto him, Blessed is the womb that bare thee, and the breasts which thou hast sucked.
Awo Yesu bwe yali ng’akyayogera ebigambo ebyo, omukazi eyali mu kibiina n’ayogerera waggulu nti, “Lulina omukisa olubuto olwakuzaala, n’amabeere kwe wayonka!”
28 But he said, Yea rather, blessed are they who hear the word of God and observe it.
Naye Yesu n’addamu nti, “Weewaawo, naye balina omukisa abo bonna abawulira ekigambo kya Katonda ne bakigondera.”
29 Then the multitudes thronging around him, he began to say, This is a wicked generation: it seeketh a sign, and no sign shall be given it, but the sign of Jonah the prophet.
Awo abantu bwe beeyongera okukuŋŋaana abangi, Yesu n’abayigiriza ng’agamba nti, “Omulembe guno mulembe mubi. Gunoonya akabonero, naye tegujja kukaweebwa okuggyako akabonero aka Yona.
30 For as Jonas was a sign to the Ninevites, so shall the Son of man also be to this generation.
Kubanga Yona nga bwe yali akabonero eri abantu b’e Nineeve, n’Omwana w’Omuntu, bw’ajja okuba eri ab’omulembe guno.
31 The queen of the south shall rise up in the judgment against the men of this generation, and shall condemn them: for she came from the ends of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon, and, behold, a greater than Solomon is here.
Era ku lunaku olw’okusalirako omusango, kabaka omukazi ow’omu bukiikaddyo alisaliza abantu ab’omulembe guno omusango okubasinga, kubanga yava ku nkomerero y’ensi okujja okuwuliriza amagezi ga Sulemaani, naye oyo asinga Sulemaani ali wano.
32 The men of Nineveh shall rise up in judgment against this generation, and shall condemn it, for they repented on the preaching of Jonah, and, behold, a greater than Jonah is here.
Abantu b’e Nineeve baliyimirira ne basaliza abantu b’omulembe guno omusango okubasinga, kubanga beenenya bwe baawulira okubuulira kwa Yona Naye laba asinga Yona ali wano.”
33 But no man lighting a lamp putteth it in a concealed place, or under a bushel, but on a stand, that they who are coming in, may see the light.
“Omuntu takoleeza ttaala n’agikweka, oba n’agivuunikako ekibbo! Naye agiwanika ku kikondo ky’ettaala n’emulisiza bonna abayingira basobole okulaba.
34 The lamp of the body is the eye: when therefore thine eye is clear, thy whole body will be luminous, but if it be vitiated, thy whole body will be darkened.
Eriiso y’ettabaaza y’omubiri gwo. Eriiso bwe liba eddamu, n’omubiri gwo gwonna guba gujjudde omusana. Naye eriiso bwe liba eddwadde, omubiri gwo gujjula ekizikiza.
35 Let it be thy aim then, that the light which is in thee do not become darkness.
Noolwekyo weekuume ekizikiza kireme kugoba musana oguli mu ggwe.
36 If then thy whole body be illuminated, not having any dark part, it will be wholly luminous, as a lamp by its brightness diffuseth light.
Singa omubiri gwo gwonna gujjula omusana, ne gutabaamu kizikiza n’akatono gujja kwakaayakana nga gwe bamulisizzaamu ettaala.”
37 Now as he was speaking, a certain Pharisee invited him to dine with him; and going in with him, he sat down.
Awo Yesu bwe yali ng’akyayogera, Omufalisaayo n’amuyita okulya emmere mu maka ge, bw’atyo n’agenda n’ayingira n’atuula okulya.
38 But the Pharisee seeing it, marvelled, that he had not washed before dinner.
Naye Omufalisaayo eyamuyita bwe yalaba nga Yesu atandise okulya nga tasoose kunaaba mu ngalo, ne yeewuunya.
39 Then said the Lord unto him, Now ye Pharisees make the outside of the cup and of the dish clean, but your inward parts are full of extortion and wickedness.
Awo Mukama waffe n’amugamba nti, “Mmwe Abafalisaayo, munaaza kungulu ku kikopo ne ku ssowaani, naye nga munda wammwe mujjudde omululu n’ebitali bya butuukirivu.
40 Ye senseless men! did not he who made that which is without, make also that which is within?
Basirusiru mmwe eyakola ebweru si ye yakola ne munda?
41 But give what is within them for alms; and, lo! all will be pure unto you.
Naye singa munaddira ebiri munda ne mubiwaayo ng’ekiweebwayo, olwo buli kintu kinaaba kirongoofu eri Katonda.
42 But wo to you, Pharisees, because ye tithe mint, and rue, and every herb, and pass by judgment and the love of God. These ought ye to have done, and not to have omitted the other.
“Zibasanze mmwe Abafalisaayo! Kubanga muwaayo ekimu eky’ekkumi ku buli kyonna kye mufuna, ne ku buli kika kya muddo oguwunyisa obulungi era oguwoomesa enva, naye ne mutassaayo mwoyo ku bwenkanya n’okwagala Katonda. Kirungi okukola ebyo byonna, naye era n’ebirala temusaanye kubiragajjalira.
43 Wo unto you, Pharisees, for ye love the first seats in the synagogues, and salutations in the places of public concourse.
“Zibasanze mmwe Abafalisaayo! Kubanga mwagala nnyo okutuula ku ntebe ez’ekitiibwa mu makuŋŋaaniro, era n’okulamusibwa mu butale ng’abantu babawa ekitiibwa.
44 Wo unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye are as graves concealed, which men, while walking over them, see not.
“Zibasanze! Kubanga muli ng’amalaalo, agatalabika abantu kwe batambulira ng’ekiri munda tebakimanyi.”
45 Then one of the doctors of the law addressing him, said, Master, thus speaking, thou reproachest us also.
Omu ku bannyonnyozi b’amateeka n’amwanukula nti, “Omuyigiriza bw’oyogera bw’otyo naffe oba ng’atuvumiddemu.”
46 And he said, Wo also to you, teachers of the law! for ye load men with burdens hardly bearable, and ye yourselves touch not the burdens with one of your fingers.
Yesu n’amuddamu nti, “Nammwe zibasanze abannyonnyozi b’amateeka! Kubanga mutikka abantu emigugu emizito egy’amateeka g’eddiini, so nga mmwe temusobola na kukwata na lugalo lwammwe ku migugu egyo.
47 Wo unto you! for ye build the sepulchres of the prophets, and your fathers killed them.
“Zibasanze! Kubanga muzimbira bannabbi ebijjukizo, so nga bajjajjammwe be baabatta.
48 Ye do indeed bear witness to, and with pleasure concur in your fathers’ deeds; for they truly killed them, and ye build their sepulchres.
Noolwekyo mulaga nga bwe muwagira ebikolwa bya bajjajjammwe eby’obutemu. Bo batta ate mmwe ne muzimba ebijjukizo.
49 Therefore also the wisdom of God hath said, I will send them prophets and apostles, and some of them they shall kill, and shall persecute:
Noolwekyo Katonda mu magezi ge, kyeyava agamba nti, ‘Ndibaweereza bannabbi n’abatume, abamu balibatta n’abalala balibayigganya.’
50 that the blood of all the prophets, which hath been shed since the foundation of the world, may be required of this generation:
Era ab’omulembe guno kyemuliva muvunaanibwa olw’omusaayi gwa bannabbi bonna okuviira ddala ku kutondebwa kw’ensi,
51 from the blood of Abel to the blood of Zachariah, who was slain between the altar and the temple: verily I tell you, It shall be required of this generation.
okuva ku musaayi gwa Aberi okutuuka ku musaayi gwa Zaakaliya, eyattirwa wakati w’ekyoto ky’ebiweebwayo ne yeekaalu. Mmwe ab’omulembe guno mbategeeza nti mugenda kuvunaanibwa olw’ebyo byonna.
52 Wo unto you, teachers of the law! for ye have taken away the key of knowledge; ye yourselves enter not in, and those who were entering ye have hindered.
“Zibasanze, mmwe abannyonnyozi b’amateeka! Kubanga mwafuna ekisumuluzo eky’amagezi naye mmwe bennyini ne mutayingira, ate ne muziyiza n’abalala okuyingira.”
53 And as he was saying these things unto them, the scribes and Pharisees began to urge him vehemently, and to extort answers from him respecting many things;
Yesu bwe yava mu nnyumba eyo, Abafalisaayo n’abannyonnyozi b’amateeka ne batandika okumuteganya n’okumukambuwalira ennyo n’okumubuuza ebibuuzo bingi awatali kusalako,
54 laying snares for him, and seeking to catch hold of something from his mouth, that they might accuse him.
nga bamutega bamukwase mu bigambo kwe banaasinziira okumukwata.
