Luke 11
1 And it came to pass, in His being in a certain place praying, as He ceased, a certain one of His disciples said to Him, “Lord, teach us to pray, as also John taught his disciples.”
Zyakachitika limwi zuba Jesu kalikukomba kuli bumwi busena, awo nakamanisya umwi wabasikwiya bakwe wakati, “Mwami, tuyisye kukomba mbuli Joni mbwakayisya basikwiya bakwe.”
2 And He said to them, “When you may pray, say: Our Father who is in the heavens, hallowed be Your Name; Your kingdom come, Your will come to pass, as in Heaven also on earth;
Jesu wakati kuli mbabo, “Mwakomba mwambe kuti, 'Taata, izina lyako lilemekwe mbuli lisalala. Akuze bwami bwako.
3 be giving us daily our appointed bread;
Utupe zilyo zitwelede buzuba abuzuba.
4 and forgive us our sins, for we also ourselves forgive everyone indebted to us; and may You not bring us into temptation, but deliver us from the evil [one].”
Utulekelele zibi zyesu, mbuli mbutubalekelela boonse bali azikweleta kulindiswe. Utatweenzi mukusunkwa.”
5 And He said to them, “Who of you will have a friend, and will go on to him at midnight, and may say to him, Friend, lend me three loaves,
Jesu wakati kulimbabo, “Kuli na uyooba amwenzinyina, elyo akayinke akati kamansiku, akwamba kuti kulinguwe, 'Mwenzuma, ndikwelete zinkwa zitatu,
6 seeing a friend of mine came out of the way to me, and I have not what I will set before him,
nkambo mwenzuma wasika, kazwida kumugwagwa, alimwi takwe nchindilacho pe kuti ndimupe.'
7 and he from within answering may say, Do not give me trouble, the door has already been shut, and my children are with me in the bed, I am not able, having risen, to give to you.
Oyo wakali mukati ulakonzya kwamba kuti, 'Utandidubi. Ikkoma lyajalwa kale, alimwi bana bangu, balandime, bali abulo. Tandikonzyi kubuka pe kuti ndipe nduwe chinkwa.'
8 I say to you, even if he will not give to him, having risen, because of his being his friend, yet because of his persistence, having risen, he will give him as many as he needs;
Ndamba kuti kulindunywe, nikuba kuti takobuka akumupa chinkwa mkambo kakuti mwenzinyokwe, asi nkambo kakukakatila kwanu chabuusu, uyobuka akupa zyoonse zinkwa nzimunooli kamuyanda.
9 and I say to you, ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you;
Alubo ndamwambila kuti, mukumbile, ellyo muyoopegwa; muyandule; alimwi mulajana; mukonkomone, alimwi mulajulilwa.
10 for everyone who is asking receives; and he who is seeking finds; and to him who is knocking it will be opened.
Nkambo kuli woonse ukumbila ulapegwa; ayooyo uyandula ulajana; akuli woyo ukonkomona uyojulilwa.
11 And of which of you—the father—[if] the son will ask [for] a loaf, will present to him a stone? And [if] a fish, instead of a fish, will present to him a serpent?
Nguni wisi akati kanu, na mwana ake walomba muswi ulamupa nzoka muchindi chakumupa muswi? Malembe mabotu achindi alachibalo chifwifwi. Amwi malembe achiindi alachibalo chilamfu, chikonzya kujanika lubo muli Matayo 7: 9: Nguni wisi akati kanu, na mwana wakwe mulombe wakumbila chinkwa, ulamupa bbwe na? Na muswi, ulamupa nzoka na?
12 And [if] he may ask [for] an egg, will present to him a scorpion?
Na walomba iiji, ulamupa kabanze na?
13 If, then, you, being evil, have known to be giving good gifts to your children, how much more will the Father who is from Heaven give the Holy Spirit to those asking Him!”
Nikubaboobo, na inywe nubabi mulizi kupa zipo zibotu kubana banu, zyiinda biyeni Taata wanu ulikujulu upa Muuya Usalala kulaabo bamukumbila?”
14 And He was casting forth a demon, and it was mute, and it came to pass, the demon having gone forth, the mute man spoke, and the multitudes wondered,
Lino Jesu wakalikutanda dayimona utambuli pe. Mpawo dayimona nakazwa, mwalumi utakwe wakalikwambula wakambula, alimwi makamu abantu akagamba!
15 and certain of them said, “By Beelzebul, ruler of the demons, He casts forth the demons”;
Pesi bamwi bantu bakati, “NguBbelizebbule mwendelezi wabadayimona, ngwatanzya badayimona.”
16 and others, tempting, were asking [for] a sign out of Heaven from Him.
Bamwi bakamusunka akuyanda kubona chitondezyo chizwa kujulu.
17 And He, knowing their thoughts, said to them, “Every kingdom having been divided against itself is desolated; and house against house falls;
Pesi Jesu wakalizi muzeezo yabo elyo wakati kulimbabo, “Boonse bwaami bupambukene bulasaalwa, an'anda ipambukene ilawa.
18 and if Satan was also divided against himself, how will his kingdom be made to stand? For you say by Beelzebul is My casting forth the demons,
Na Satani walipambula, ibwami bwakwe buyooyimikila biyeni? nkambo mwamba kuti nditanzya Bbelizebbule badayimona.
19 but if I, by Beelzebul, cast forth the demons—your sons, by whom do they cast forth? Because of this they will be your judges;
Na nditanzya Bbelizebbule badayimona, nguni batobela banu ngubatanzya? Nkambo kacheechi, bayooba babetesi banu.
20 but if by the finger of God I cast forth the demons, then the Kingdom of God came unaware on you.
Pesi na nditanda badayimona akutondeka kanwe kaLeza, nkukuti Bwami bwaLeza bwasika kulindinywe.
21 When the strong man may keep his hall armed, his goods are in peace;
Kuti mwalumi singuzu ulaazilwano zikwene walinda n'anda yakwe, lubono lwakwe lunokkede kabotu,
22 but when the stronger than he, having come on [him], may overcome him, he takes away his whole armor in which he had trusted, and he distributes his spoils;
pesi na mwalumi singuzu wamuzunda, oyo mwalumi singuzu ulabweza zilwano ezyo mwalumi oyo nzyalikusyoma akupaza lubono lwamwalumi oyo.
23 he who is not with Me is against Me, and he who is not gathering with Me scatters.
Oyoo utalamwi andime ngundilwisya, ayooyo utabunganizyi andim ngumwaya.
24 When the unclean spirit may go forth from the man, it walks through waterless places seeking rest, and not finding, it says, I will return to my house from where I came forth;
Namuuya mubi wazwa mumwalumi, ngawayinda mubusena butakwemaanzi akuyandula kulyokezya. Nutakajane takwe busena, ulamba kuti, 'Ndiyojokela mun'anda mundakazwa.'
25 and having come, it finds [it] swept and adorned;
Na wajokela, ulajana kuti mun'anda muliyiidwe kamubambidwe kabotu.
26 then it goes, and takes to it seven other spirits more evil than itself, and having entered, they dwell there, and the last of that man becomes worse than the first.”
Mpawo ulajoka kwakweeta imyuuya ili musanu ayibili mibi kwiinda nguwo elyo yoonse ilaza kuzokkala mumo. Mamannino abuumi bwamwalumi oyu bulabija kwiinda lutanzi.”
27 And it came to pass, in His saying these things, a certain woman having lifted up the voice out of the multitude, said to Him, “Blessed the womb that carried You, and the breasts that You sucked!”
Zyakachitika kuti, na kalikwamba zintu eezi, umwi mwanakazi wakoonzomoka atala amakamu abantu kaamba kuti kulimbabo, “Bulilongezedwe bula obo bwakatumbuka ankolo ezyo zyakakukomezya.”
28 And He said, “Indeed, rather, blessed those hearing the word of God, and keeping [it]!”
Pesi wakamba kuti, “Kwindilila, balilongezedwe abo bamvwa ijwi lyaLeza akulibamba.”
29 And the multitudes crowding together on Him, He began to say, “This generation is evil, it seeks after a sign, and a sign will not be given to it, except the sign of Jonah the prophet,
Awo makamu abantu nakalibuyobuvula, Jesu wakatalika kwamba kuti, “Elizyalani ndizyalani bbi. Lilangula chitondeezyo, nikuba takwe chitondezyo nchiliyopegwa kunze kwachitondeezyo cha Jona.
30 for as Jonah became a sign to the Ninevites, so also will the Son of Man be to this generation.
Nkaambo mbuli Jona mbwakaba chitondeezyo kuli ba Niniva, aboobo alakwe Mwana mulombe wa Muntu uyooba chitondeezyo kuzyalani eeli.
31 A queen of the south will rise up in the judgment with the men of this generation, and will condemn them, because she came from the ends of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon; and behold, [One] greater than Solomon [is] here!
Mwami mwanakazi wakumbo uyoonyampuka kulubeta abantu bazyalani eli akubapa mulandu, nkambo wakazwa kumasimpilo anyika kuti akamvwe busongo bwaSolomoni, amubone, umwi mupati wiinda Solomoni kuti mpali.
32 Men of Nineveh will stand up in the judgment with this generation, and will condemn it, because they converted at the proclamation of Jonah; and behold, [One] greater than Jonah [is] here!
Bantu bakuNiniva bayooyima kulubeta azyalani eli lyabantu akubapa mulandu, nkambo bakasanduka kukukambawuka kwaJona, amubone, umwi mupati kwiinda Jona mpali.
33 And no one having lighted a lamp, puts [it] in a secret place, nor under the measure, but on the lampstand, that those coming in may behold the light.
Takwe ungaamana kutunginizya lampi, inga walibikka asisikene na ansi alusuwo, pesi kuti achikkalilo chalyo, kwitila kuti abo banjila bakonzye kulibona.
34 The lamp of the body is the eye, when then your eye may be simple, your whole body is also lightened; and when it may be evil, your body is also darkened;
Liso lyako ndilampi lyamubili wako. Na liso lyako ndibotu, mubili woonse ngawazuzigwa mumuni.
35 take heed, then, lest the light that [is] in you is darkness;
Pesi na liso lyako ndibbi, mubili wako woonse uzwide kusiya.
36 if then your whole body is lightened, not having any part darkened, the whole will be lightened, as when the lamp by the brightness may give you light.”
Kuti na mibili yanu yazuzigwa amumuni, katakwe chimwi chzo chilimumudima, elyo mibili yanu iyooba mbuli lampi mbuli mweekesya alindinywe.”
37 And in [His] speaking, a certain Pharisee was asking Him that He might dine with him, and having gone in, He reclined,
Lino nakamana kwambula, muFalisi wakamukumbila kuti bakalye antoomwe kun'anda yakwe, mpawo Jesu wayinka wakulya.
38 and the Pharisee having seen, wondered that He did not first immerse Himself before the early meal.
MuFalisi wakagamba kuti Jesu take nakasanguna kusamba pe kayanda kulya.
39 And the LORD said to him, “Now you, the Pharisees, make the outside of the cup and of the plate clean, but your inward part is full of robbery and wickedness.
Pesi Mwami wakati kulinguwe, “Lino mpo, inywe nimaFalisi musanzya kunze kwankomeki azilido, pesi mukati kanu muzwide bungu abubu.
40 Unthinking [ones]! Did He who made the outside not also make the inside?
Inywe nubantu nimutakonzyi kuyeeya! Oyo wakalenga kunze teensi nguwe na wakalenga mukati?
41 But what you have given [as] alms, and behold, all things are clean to you.
Mupe echo chilimukati mbuli chabilo, awo zintu zyoonse kulindinywe ziyosalazigwa.
42 But woe to you, the Pharisees, because you tithe the mint, and the rue, and every herb, and you pass by the judgment and the love of God; these things [you] should do, and those not to be neglecting.
Pesi maawe nywebo kulindinywe nimFalisi, nkambo mulapa chakkumi champoko achamusamu wakulisilika ayimwi michelo yamuchilili, pesi mukaka kusalazigwa a luyando lwaLeza. Zilimbubo biyo kusyomeka akuyanda Leza, kakutakwe chikachizya kuchita zimwi azilazyo.
43 Woe to you, the Pharisees, because you love the first seats in the synagogues and the salutations in the marketplaces.
Maawe nywebo nimaFalisi, nkambo muyanda zyuno zyakunembo muzikombelo akujuzigwa chabulemu muzisambalilo.
44 Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites, because you are as the unseen tombs, and the men walking above have not known.”
Maawe kulindinywe, nkambo muli mbuli zibunda zitaboneki awo bantu mpubendela kabatazi.”
45 And one of the lawyers answering, says to Him, “Teacher, saying these things, You also insult us”;
Umwi wabasikulingula mulawo wakati kulinguwe, “Muyisi eezi nzulikwamba ulikututukila aswebo.”
46 and He said, “And to you, the lawyers, woe! Because you burden men with burdens [too] grievous to bear, and you yourselves do not touch the burdens with one of your fingers.
Jesu wakati, “Maawe nywebo, nibayiisi bamulawu! Nkambo mubikka bantu mikuli milemu njibatakonzyi kunyampula, pesi takwe nimwiguma pe mikuli eyo akanwe kanu kamwi.
47 Woe to you, because you build the tombs of the prophets, and your fathers killed them.
Maawe kulindinywe, nkambo muyakila basinsimi zibunda, alimwi mbasikale banu bakabajaya.
48 Then you testify, and are well pleased with the works of your fathers, because they indeed killed them, and you build their tombs;
Nkambo inywe mulibakamboni akuzuminana amilimu yabasikale banu, nkambo mbakabajaya alimwi mulikuyaka zibunda zyabo.
49 because of this also the wisdom of God said: I will send to them prophets, and apostles, and some of them they will kill and persecute,
Nkambo kacheechi, busongo bwaLeza bwamba kuti, 'Ndiyotuma basinsimi aBatumwa, alimwi bayobapenzya akubajaya bamwi babo.'
50 that the blood of all the prophets, that is being poured forth from the foundation of the world, may be required from this generation—
Eeli zyalani, ndilyo, liyooyimikila bulowa boonse bwabasinsimi bwakatikila kuzwa kumalengelo anyika,
51 from the blood of Abel to the blood of Zacharias, who perished between the altar and the house; yes, I say to you, it will be required from this generation.
kuzwa kubulowa bwaAbbelo kuyosika kubulowa bwaZakkaliya, ooyo wakajayigwa akati kachipayililo abusena busalala. Iyi ndamwambila, kuti zyalani ndiyooyimikilila.
52 Woe to you, the lawyers, because you took away the key of the knowledge; you yourselves did not enter; and you hindered those coming in.”
Maawe kulindinywe nimulingulula mulawo, nkambo mwakagwisya chijulusyo chaluzibo; tamulinjili nubeni, alimwi mulakasya abo banjila.
53 And in His speaking these things to them, the scribes and the Pharisees began fearfully to urge and to press Him to speak about many things,
Jesu nakazwa awo, balembi bamulawu abaFalisi tebakamuswilila pe alimwi bakamukazya zintu zyiingi. Bakalikumuyubilila,
54 laying wait for Him, and seeking to catch something out of His mouth, that they might accuse Him.
kuti bakonzye kubweezya chimwi kuzwa kumulomo wake.
