Luke 11
1 It happened, that when he finished praying in a certain place, one of his disciples said to him, "Lord, teach us to pray, just as John also taught his disciples."
Ligono limonga, Yesu avili pandu ayupayi kwa Chapanga. Peamalili, mmonga wa vawuliwa vaki akamjovela, “Bambu, tiwulayi na tete kuyupa kwa Chapanga ngati Yohani chaavawuli vawuliwa vaki.”
2 So he said to them, "When you pray, say, 'Our Father in heaven, holy be your name. May your kingdom come. May your will be done on earth, as it is in heaven.
Yesu akavajovela. “Pemuyupa kwa Chapanga, mujova naha, Dadi, Liina laku lilumbiwa, Unkosi waku ubwelayi.
3 Give us day by day our daily bread.
Utipela chakulya chitu cha magono goha.
4 And forgive us our sins, for we also forgive everyone indebted to us. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil.'"
Utilekekesayi getikubudila Chapanga, ndava muni na tete tikuvalekekesa vevakutibudila. Kotoka kutiyingisa mukulingiwa.”
5 He said to them, "Which of you, if you go to a friend at midnight, and tell him, 'Friend, lend me three loaves of bread,
Kangi akavajovela vawuliwa vaki, “Yani pagati yinu mweavi na nkozi, na akamhambila pagati ya kilu na kumjovela ‘Mlongo wangu, chondi niyayika mabumunda gadatu na kangi yati nikuwuyisila,
6 for a friend of mine has come to me from a journey, and I have nothing to set before him,'
ndava muni nkozi wangu anihikalili kuhuma mulugendu, na nene nivii lepi na chakumpela!’
7 and he from within will answer and say, 'Do not bother me. The door is now shut, and my children are with me in bed. I cannot get up and give it to you'?
Ndi yula wa mugati, ngaamyangwili, ‘Kotoka kuning'aha! Muni, nimali kudinda mlyangu, nene na vana vangu tigonili, nakuhotola kuyimuka kukupela!’
8 I tell you, although he will not rise and give it to him because he is his friend, yet because of his persistence, he will get up and give him as many as he needs.
Nikuvajovela yati iyimuka lepi kuhamba kumpela pamonga na kuvya nkozi waki, nambu ndava ya kukangamala kwaki kuyupa, yati iyimuka na kumpela chochoha cheigana.
9 "I tell you, ask, and it will be given to you. Seek, and you will find. Knock, and it will be opened to you.
Hinu nikuvajovela, muyupa na nyenye yati mwipewa, mulonda yati mwipata, muhodisa mlyangu yati mwidinduliwa.
10 For everyone who asks receives. He who seeks finds. To him who knocks it will be opened.
Muni mundu yeyoha mweiyupa ipewa na mweilonda ipata na mweihodesa mlyangu idinduliwa.
11 "Which of you fathers, if your son asks for a fish, he won't give him a snake instead of a fish, will he?
Muni yani mweavi dadi ndi mwana waki amuyupili somba wu, yati akumpela liyoka pahali pa somba?
12 Or if he asks for an egg, will give him a scorpion?
Na ngati amuyupi likang'a yati ampela chipilili?
13 If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to those who ask him?"
Hinu nyenye pamonga na uhakau winu, mumanyi kuvapela vana vinu vindu vyabwina, chakaka Dadi winu wa kunani yati ikita na pawaka, muni yati akuvapela Mpungu Msopi vala vevakumuyupa!”
14 He was casting out a demon, and it was mute. It happened, when the demon had gone out, the mute man spoke; and the crowds were amazed.
Ligono limonga Yesu avi mukuuvinga mzuka wewamkitili mundu mmonga kuvya ngajova. Ndi, mzuka ukamuwuka, mundu yula akahotola kulongela, hati msambi wa vandu ukakangasa.
15 But some of them said, "He casts out demons by Beelzebul, the prince of the demons."
Nambu vandu vangi vakajova, “Ivinga mizuka kwa uhotola wa Belizebuli, mkulu wa mizuka.”
16 Others, testing him, sought from him a sign from heaven.
Vangi vakamlinga Yesu, vakamgana, akita gachinamtiti kulangisa kuvya uhotola waki uhumili kwa Chapanga.
17 But he, knowing their thoughts, said to them, "Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation. A house divided against itself falls.
Nambu Yesu amanyili maholo gavi, akavajovela, Unkosi wowoha wula, weulekangini chikundi chikundi nakuhotola kusindimala, mewawa na vandu va nyumba yimonga vevalekangini yati viyaga.
18 If Satan also is divided against himself, how will his kingdom stand? For you say that I cast out demons by Beelzebul.
Ngati Setani ana chikundi chechikomana chene kwa chene, unkosi waki yati uyima wuli? Nijova genaga ndava nyenye mukunijova nene nivinga mizuka kwa uhotola wa Belizebuli.
19 But if I cast out demons by Beelzebul, by whom do your children cast them out? Therefore will they be your judges.
Vawuliwa vinu vivinga mizuka ngati mewa chenikita nene. Ndava kyani nyenye mwijova nene nivinga mizuka kwa uhotola wa Belizebuli? Hinu venavo ndi yati vakuvahamula nyenye.
20 But if I by the finger of God cast out demons, then the Kingdom of God has come to you.
Nambu ngati nivinga mizuka kwa uhotola wa Chapanga, ndi mumanya kuvya Unkosi waki umali kuhika kwinu.
21 "When the strong man, fully armed, guards his own dwelling, his goods are safe.
Mundu mweavi na makakala, pailindalila nyumba yaki na vindu vya ngondo, vindu vyaki vyoha vivya bwina.
22 But when someone stronger attacks him and overcomes him, he takes from him his whole armor in which he trusted, and divides up his plunder.
Nambu akabwelayi mundu yungi mweavi na makakala neju na kumzangila na kumnyaga vindu vyaki vya ngondo, mundu mwenuyo ihotola kuvitola vindu vyaki vyoha na kuvigavanisa.
23 "He that is not with me is against me. He who does not gather with me scatters.
“Mundu yoyoha yula mwangalongosana na nene, mwenuyo isigana, na yoyoha yula mweibela kunonga pamonga na nene, mwenuyo ipechengana.”
24 The unclean spirit, when he has gone out of the person, passes through dry places, seeking rest, and finding none, he says, 'I will turn back to my house from which I came out.'
“Mzuka ngati uvingiwi kwa mundu, ulyungalyunga kulugangatu mukulonda pandu pa kupumulila. Ngati apapati lepi ukujijovela, ‘Yati niwuya kunyumba yangu kwenikahumili.’
25 When he returns, he finds it swept and put in order.
Peiwuya ikolela nyumba yila yitendelikiwi na vindu vivikiwi bwina.
26 Then he goes, and takes seven other spirits more evil than himself, and they enter in and dwell there. The last state of that person becomes worse than the first."
Ndi, ihamba kuhitola mizuka hingi saba, yeyivi hihakau kuliku mwene, ndi penapo yoha yikumuyingila mundu yula. Mundu mwenuyo hinu wumi waki wivya uhakau neju, kuliku chaakavili lukumbi lwa kutumbula.”
27 It came to pass, as he said these things, a certain woman out of the crowd lifted up her voice, and said to him, "Blessed is the womb that bore you, and the breasts which nursed you."
Paajovayi genago, mdala mmonga mweavi pagati ya msambi wa vandu akajova kwa lwami luvaha, “Limotisiwayi lileme lelikugegili na livele lelakunyong'isi!”
28 But he said, "On the contrary, blessed are those who hear the word of God, and keep it."
Yesu akajova, “Vamotisiwa veviyuwana lilovi la Chapanga na kulikamula!”
29 When the crowds were gathering together to him, he began to say, "This generation is an evil generation. It seeks after a sign. No sign will be given to it but the sign of Jonah.
Msambi wa vandu pawayonjokisi, Yesu akavajovela, “Chiveleku ichi ndi chihakau, chigana ulangisu kuhuma kunani kwa Chapanga, nambu yati nakupewa ulangisu wowoha manya ngawula wa Yona.
30 For even as Jonah became a sign to the Ninevites, so will also the Son of Man be to this generation.
Mewawa Yona chalolikini kuvya ulangisu kwa vandu va ku Ninawi, ndi na Mwana wa Mundu yati ivya chinamtiti kwa chiveleku ichi.
31 The Queen of the South will rise up in the judgment with the people of this generation, and will condemn them: for she came from a distant land to hear the wisdom of Solomon; and look, one greater than Solomon is here.
Nkosi wa chidala wa kusini yati ihumila ligono la muhalu ukulu, lukumbi lwa muhalu wa chiveleku ichi na mwene yati ijova chiveleku ichi chibudili. Muni mwene agendili kuhuma mulima wa kutali kubwela kuyuwanila malovi ga luhala ga Nkosi Solomoni, nambu penapa avi mkulu kuliku Nkosi Solomoni.
32 The people of Nineveh will stand up in the judgment with this generation, and will condemn it: for they repented at the preaching of Jonah, and look, one greater than Jonah is here.
Vandu va ku Ninawi yati vihumila ligono la muhalu ukulu pamonga na vandu va chiveleku ichi yati vijova chibudili. Muni vandu va Ninawi vamuwuyalili Chapanga ndava ujumbi wa Chapanga weakokwisi Yona. Nambu penapa avi mkulu kuliku Yona!”
33 "No one, when he has lit a lamp, puts it in a cellar or under a basket, but on a stand, that those who come in may see the light.
“Kawaka mundu mweipambika hahi na kuyifiya amala kuyigubika na chiviga, nambu hahi ngati yipambikwi vivika kunani kuchibokoselu, muni yilangasayi bwina mugati mwoha na vandu voha veviyingila valola bwina.
34 The lamp of the body is the eye. Therefore when your eye is good, your whole body is also full of light; but when it is bad, your body also is full of darkness.
Lihu laku ndi hahi ya higa yaku. Ngati lihu laku livi bwina, higa yaku yivi mulumuli. Nambu lihu laku likoywiki, higa yaku yivi mchitita.
35 Therefore see whether the light that is in you is not darkness.
Mujilolayi neju, lumuli lweluvi mugati yaku lukoto kuvya chitita.
36 If therefore your whole body is full of light, having no part dark, it will be wholly full of light, as when the lamp with its bright shining gives you light."
Ndi, ngati higa yaku yoha una lumuli, changali pandu pangi kuvya chitita, higa yaku yati ying'asima ngati hahi cheyilangasa kwa lumuli lwaki.”
37 Now as he spoke, a Pharisee asked him to dine with him. He went in, and sat at the table.
Yesu peamali kujova genago, Mfalisayu mmonga amgongolili Yesu kulya chakulya kunyumba yaki ndi Yesu akahamba kwenuko, na akatama kulya.
38 When the Pharisee saw it, he was surprised that he had not first washed himself before dinner.
Mfalisayu yula akakangasa, muni amuweni Yesu asambili lepi kwakona chakulya.
39 The Lord said to him, "Now you Pharisees cleanse the outside of the cup and of the platter, but your inward part is full of extortion and wickedness.
Bambu akamjovela, “Nyenye Vafalisayu msanja chikombi na nkeve kuvala, nambu mugati mumemili kugana vindu vyamahele na uhakau.
40 You foolish ones, did not he who made the outside make the inside also?
Vayimu nyenye! Wu, Chapanga awumbili lepi vya kuvala, na kangi awumbili lepi vya mugati?
41 But give for gifts to the needy those things which are within, and see, all things will be clean to you.
Nambu muvapela vangangu vyevivili mugati, munkele na muchikombi na kila chindu chivyaa chabwina kwa nyenye.”
42 But woe to you Pharisees. For you tithe mint and rue and every herb, but you bypass justice and the love of God. You ought to have done these, and not to have left the other undone.
“Yati muchikolela nyenye Vafalisayu, muni mkumpela Chapanga lilundu limonga pagati ya kumi za ndimbilu na libonongo na mahamba gangi ga likolo. Nambu mwileka kuvakitila vandu gegiganikiwa, na kumgana Chapanga. Yikuvagana kugakamula genago changali kukosiwa na gangi gala.”
43 Woe to you Pharisees. For you love the best seats in the synagogues, and the greetings in the marketplaces.
“Yati muchikolela nyenye Vafalisayu, ndava mwigana kutama muvigoda vya kulongolo munyumba za kukonganekela Vayawudi na kujambuswa na vandu cha kugundamiliwa pavikonganika vandu.
44 Woe to you. For you are like hidden graves, and the people who walk over them do not know it."
Yati muchikolela, ndava muni muvi ngati matinda gegafiyiki na vandu vigenda panani yaki changamanya.”
45 One of the Law scholars answered him, "Teacher, in saying this you insult us also."
Mundu mmonga mweimanya malagizu akamyangula, “Muwula, malovi gaku ukutiliga na tete.”
46 He said, "Woe to you Law scholars also. For you load people with burdens that are difficult to carry, and you yourselves won't even lift one finger to help carry those burdens.
Yesu akamyangula, “Na nyenye mwemwimanya malagizu yati muchikolela! Muni mukuvagegesa vandu ndwika yeyitopa yangagegeka, na kuni mwavene nakutalambula hata lung'onji kuvatangatila.
47 Woe to you. For you build the tombs of the prophets, and your fathers killed them.
Mwalachikolela nyenye! Muni mwijenga matinda ga vamlota va Chapanga, vavakomiwi na vagogo vinu.
48 So you are witnesses and consent to the works of your fathers. For they killed them, and you build their tombs.
Mewawa mwavene mwilangisa chakaka na kuyidakila na matendu ga vagogo vinu, muni vene vavakomili vamlota va Chapanga na nyenye mwijenga matinda gavi.
49 Therefore also the wisdom of God said, 'I will send to them prophets and apostles; and some of them they will kill and persecute,
Ndava ya genago, luhala lwa Chapanga lwajovili naha, ‘Yati nivaletela vamlota na vamitumi, nambu vangi vikomiwa na vangi yati ving'ahiswa.’
50 that the blood of all the prophets, which was shed from the foundation of the world, may be required of this generation;
Ndi vandu va lukumbi ulu yati viyingila mumuhalu, ndava ya lifwa la vamlota va Chapanga voha vevakomiwi kutumbula kuwumbikiwa kwa mulima,
51 from the blood of Abel to the blood of Zechariah, who perished between the altar and the sanctuary.' Yes, I tell you, it will be required of this generation.
kutumbula peakomiwi Abeli mbaka kukomiwa kwa Zakalia mwevamkomili pagati ya lusanja lwa luteta na pandu pamsopi. Ena chakaka, chiveleku ichi chiyingila mumuhalu ndava ya matendu genago.”
52 Woe to you Law scholars. For you took away the key of knowledge. You did not enter in yourselves, and those who were entering in, you hindered."
“Mwalachikolela nyenye mwemumanya Malagizu! Muni mufiyili fungulu wa mlyangu wa kumanya, nyenye mwavene nakuyingila, na muvabelalili vevakaliyigila vakotoka kuyingila!”
53 And when he left there, the scribes and the Pharisees began to oppose him bitterly, and to provoke him to speak about many things;
Yesu pawukili penapo, Vafalisayu na vawula va malagizu kutumbula penapo vakamyomela neju na kumlinga kwa kumkota mambu gamahele,
54 lying in wait for him, seeking to catch him in something he might say, that they might accuse him.
Muni vagana kumkamula kwa malovi geijova.
