Luke 11
1 One day Jesus was at a certain place praying, and, when he had finished, one of his disciples said to him, ‘Master, teach us to pray, as John taught his disciples.’
Lishaka limu Yesu kaweriti pahala tunga pakaluwa Mlungu. Pakamaliriti kuluwa Mlungu, yumu gwa wafundwa wakuwi kamgambira, “Mtuwa, gutufundi kuluwa Mlungu gambira Yohani Mbatiza ntambu yakawafunditi wafundwa wakuwi.”
2 ‘When you pray,’ Jesus answered, ‘say – “Father, may your name be held holy, your kingdom come.
Yesu kawagambira, “Pamluwa Mlungu mlongi hangu, ‘Tati, Litawu lyaku likwiswi, Ufalumi waku wizi.
3 Give us each day the bread that we will need;
Gutupanani shiboga shetu sha kila lishaka
4 and forgive us our sins, for we ourselves forgive everyone who wrongs us; and take us not into temptation.”’
Gutulekiziyi vidoda vyetu, Mana twenga tuwalekeziya woseri yawatutenditi upyota. Pota nagututula mukujerwa.’”
5 Jesus also said to them, ‘Suppose that one of you who has a friend were to go to him in the middle of the night and say “Friend, lend me three loaves,
Na Yesu kawagambira wantumintumi wakuwi, “Payiwera yumu gwenu pakagenda ukaya kwa ganja gwakuwi pashiru na kumgambira, ‘Ganja, shondi shondi nyagu gunkopeshi mabumunda mitatu.
6 for a friend of mine has arrived at my house after a journey, and I have nothing to offer him;”
Ganja gwangu yakaweriti mumwanja, kapitira pakaya pangu na neni nahera shiboga shakumupa.’
7 And suppose that the other should answer from inside “Do not trouble me; the door is already fastened, and my children and I are in bed; I cannot get up and give you anything”;
Na payiwera ganja gwaku kankuwankula kulawa mnumba, ‘Nagung'aziya! Mlyangu gutatwa kala, neni pamuhera na wana wangu tugonja kala. Na hapeni numuki kukupanani shintu shoseri.’
8 I tell you that, even though he will not get up and give him anything because he is a friend, yet because of his persistence he will rouse himself and give him what he wants.
Nakaka nankuwagambirani, ata pakalema kwimuka na kukupanani mabumunda toziya gwenga gwa ganja gwakuwi, kumbiti pagwendereya kumgaziya kwa kumluwa hakimuki na kukupanana shoseri shagufira.
9 ‘And so I say to you – Ask, and your prayer will be granted, search, and you will find; knock, and the door will be opened to you.
“Su nankuwagambira, guluwi na hampananwi, gusakuli na haguwoni, gutendi hodi na hamvugulirwi.
10 For the person who asks receives, everyone who searches finds, and to the person who knocks the door will be opened.
Mana woseri yawaluwa hawapananwi na woseri yawasakula, hawawoni na mlyangu haguvugulwi kwa kila muntu yakatenda hodi.
11 What father among you, if his son asks him for a fish, will give him a snake instead,
Mwana pakamluwa tati gwakuwi somba, hashi hakampanani njoka badala ya somba?
12 or, if he asks for an egg, will give him a scorpion?
Na pakamluwa ligi, hakampanani shipinini?
13 If you, then, naturally wicked though you are, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will the Father in heaven give the Holy Spirit to those who ask him!’
Su payiwera mwenga yamuwera na vidoda, muvimana kuwapanana viherepa vyawaluwa wana wenu. Nakaka Tati gwenu gwakumpindi hakatendi kupita mwenga, hakawapanani Rohu Mnanagala walii yawamluwa!”
14 Once Jesus was driving out a mute demon, and, when the demon had gone out, the mute man spoke. The people were amazed at this;
Yesu kaweriti kankumwinga shamshera yakamtenditi muntu yumu kaweri bubu. Su shamshera ulii pakamlawiti, muntu ulii kaweziti kutakula. Lipinga lya wantu lilikangashiti,
15 but some of them said, ‘He drives out demons by the help of Beelzebul, the chief of the demons’;
kumbiti wantu wamu mulipinga lilii walonga, “Belizebuli, mkulu gwa washamshera ndo yakampananiti makakala ga kuwalaviya washamshera.”
16 while others, to test him, asked him for some sign from the heavens.
Wamonga wafiriti kumjera Yesu, su wamgambira kawalanguziyi mauzauza kulonga nakaka Mlungu ndo yakamtumiti.
17 Jesus himself, however, was aware of what they were thinking, and said to them, ‘Any kingdom wholly divided against itself becomes a desolation; and a divided house falls.
Kumbiti Yesu kavimaniti kala shawalihola, su kawagambira, “Ufalumi woseri waubagulika weni vipinga vipinga vyavisingana vyeni hapeni vilikali, kaya payibagulika yeni mpaka iyagamili.
18 So, too, if Satan is wholly divided against himself, how can his kingdom last? Yet you say that I drive out demons by the help of Beelzebul.
Su handa ufalumi wa Shetani pawuwera muvipinga na pawalikoma weni, hawuendereyi hashi? Mlonga kuwera ndaviya washamshera toziya Belizebuli kanupiti makakala ga kutenda aga,
19 But, if it is by Beelzebul’s help that I drive out demons, by whose help is it that your own sons drive them out? Therefore they will themselves be your judges.
handa neni nankuwawusiya washamshera kwa likakala lya belizebuli, hashi wafata wenu wawawusiya kwa uwezu gaa? Wafata wenu hawaweri watoza wenu!
20 But, if it is by the hand of God that I drive out demons, then the kingdom of God must already be upon you.
Kumbiti payiwera nankuwinga washamshera kwa makakala ga Mlungu, su muvimani kuwera Ufalumi wa Mlungu usoka kala kwa mwenga.
21 When a strong man is keeping guard, fully armed, over his own mansion, his property is in safety;
“Muntu kana makakala pakawera na silaha zoseri, pakalolera numba yakuwi mweni, vyoseri vyakaweriti navi haviweri salama.
22 but, when one still stronger has attacked and overpowered him, he takes away all the weapons on which the other had relied, and divides his spoil.
Kumbiti pakiza muntu kana makakala kuliku yomberi pakamkoma na kumsinda, hakatoli silaha zoseri zakalitumbiriti muntu ulii na kugawana ulunda wakuwi.
23 Whoever is not with me is against me, and the person who does not help me to gather is scattering.
“Yoseri yakawera ndiri uwega wa neni ndo nakaka kanema neni na yoseri yakajojinira ndiri pamuhera na neni, ayu ndo kapalasiya.
24 No sooner does a foul spirit leave someone, than it passes through places where there is no water, in search of rest; and finding none, it says “I will go back to the home which I left”;
“Shamshera pakawingwa kulawa kwa muntu, kayerayera mlaa mushiwala pakasakula pakwoyera. Pakapata ndiri pakwoyera, kalitakuziya mweni, ‘Hambuyi kunumba kwangu kwandawiti.’
25 but, on coming there, it finds it unoccupied, swept, and put in order.
Pakawuya na kwona numba ilii wayifyagira na kuyiherepiziya.
26 Then it goes and brings with it seven other spirits more wicked than itself, and they go in, and make their home there; and the last state of that person proves to be worse than the first.’
Su kagenda kuwatola washamshera wayaguwi wamonga saba wadoda kuliku yomberi, woseri wagenda kumwingira muntu ayu. Su ntambu ya muntu ayu hayiweri idoda kuliku ntambu yayiweriti kwanja.”
27 As Jesus was saying this, a woman in the crowd, raising her voice, exclaimed, ‘Happy was the mother who bore you and nursed you!’
Yesu pakaweriti kankutakula hangu, mdala yumu kulawa mulipinga lya wantu kamgambira, “Mbaka mdala yakakuleriti na kukunoniziya!”
28 But Jesus replied, ‘Rather, happy are those who listen to God’s message and keep it.’
Kumbiti Yesu kamwankula, “Mbaka nentu kwa walii yawapikanira shisoweru sha Mlungu na kushijimira”
29 As the crowds increased, Jesus began to speak, ‘This generation is a wicked generation. It is asking a sign, but no sign will be given it except the sign of Jonah.
Lipinga lya wantu palimzingiti Yesu, kendereyiti kutakula, “Shiyiwuku shikondola na shashihera uwaminika kulongolu kwa Mlungu! Mfira mauzauza, kumbiti hapeni mpananwi liuzauza lyoseri lilii ira hampananwi liwuzawuza lya Yona.”
30 For, as Jonah became a sign to the people of Nineveh, so will the Son of Man be to this generation.
Ntambu ira ilii Yona mbuyi gwa Mlungu pakaweriti lilangaliru kwa wantu wa Ninawi, su Mwana gwa Muntu hakaweri lilangaliru kwa wantu wa mashaka aga.
31 At the judgment the Queen of the South will rise up with the people of this generation, and will condemn them, because she came from the ends of the earth to listen to the wisdom of Solomon; and here is more than a Solomon!
Malikiya gwa kusika hakalawili shipindi shiyiwuku ashi pashitozwa na yomberi hakawatozi. Toziya mweni kagenditi mwanja kulawa kutali, kiziti kuvipikinira visoweru vya luhala lwa mfalumi Selemani, kumbiti panu kwana mkulu kuliku Selemani!
32 At the judgment the men of Nineveh will stand up with this generation, and will condemn it, because they repented at Jonah’s proclamation; and here is more than a Jonah!
Mulishaka lya kutoza, wantu wa Ninawi hawagoloki pamuhera na shiyiwuku ashi na womberi hawashitozi. Toziya wantu wa Ninawi walekiti vidoda vyawatenditi pawamupikaniriti Yona pakabwera, kumbiti panu kwana shitwatila shikulu kuliku Yona.
33 No one lights a lamp, and then puts it in the cellar or under a basket, but he puts it on the lamp-stand, so that anyone who comes in may see the light.
“Kwahera muntu yakawasha shikoroboyi na kushigubikira na mufiniku, ira hakashituli pashintambi, su wantu pawingira mnumba wapati kuwona kulangala.
34 The lamp of the body is your eye. When your eye is unclouded, your whole body, also, is lit up; but, as soon as your eye is diseased, your body, also, is darkened.
Masu gaku ga gambira shikoloboyi sha nshimba. Masu gaku pagawera makomu, nshimba yaku yoseri hayiweri ilangala, kumbiti masu gaku pagawera gaherepa ndiri, nshimba yaku yoseri hayiweri muluwindu.
35 Take care, therefore, that the inner light is not darkness.
Su gwikali weri, gulangala gwaguweriti mngati mwaku naguwera luwindu.
36 If, then, your whole body is lit up, and no corner of it darkened, the whole will be lit up, just as when a lamp gives you light by its brilliance.’
Handa nshimba yaku yoseri paiwera ilangala, pota kuwera pahala poseri pa luwindu, nshimba ayi hayilangali nakaka gambira shikoloboyi ntambu yashikulangalira kwa gulangala wakuwi.”
37 As Jesus finished speaking, a Pharisee asked him to breakfast with him, and Jesus went in and took his place at the table.
Yesu pakamaliriti kulonga, Mfalisayu yumu kamshemeriti ukaya kwakuwi waliyi shiboga pamuhera, su Yesu kagenditi na kulivaga kuliya shiboga.
38 The Pharisee noticed, to his astonishment, that Jesus omitted the ceremonial washing before breakfast.
Mafalisayu walikangasha pawamwoniti kankuliya shiboga pota kugulula huti mawoku.
39 But the Master said to him, ‘You Pharisees do, it is true, clean the outside of the cup and of the plate, but inside you yourselves are filled with greed and wickedness.
Su Mtuwa kamgambira, “Mwenga Mafalisayu mgulula vikombi na sahani kwa kunja kumbiti mngati mmema lwamata na vidoda.
40 Fools! Did not the maker of the outside make the inside too?
Mwawazyigizyigi mwenga! Mlungu ndo yakanyawiti kunja, kayi kanyawiti mngati.
41 Only give away what is in them in charity, and at once you have the whole clean.
Kumbiti muwayupi wahushu shilii shashiweriti muvikombi na musahani na kila shintu hashiweri shiherepa kwa mwenga.
42 But alas for you Pharisees! You pay tithes on mint, rue, and herbs of all kinds, and pass over justice and love to God. These last you ought to have put into practice without neglecting the first.
“Shondi mwenga Mafalisayu! Mwankumupa Mlungu zaka zya binzari na mshisha na mihamba yamonga na uganu pamlema yagamfiriziya Mlungu na ufiru wa Mlungu. Vitwatila avi mfiruwa muviloli weri pota na kulyaluwa vyamonga.
43 Alas for you Pharisees! You delight to have the front seat in the synagogues, and to be greeted in the markets with respect.
“Shondi mwenga Mafalisayu! Mfira kulivaga palongolu pawapapanana ligoya munumba za Mlungu na kukulamsiyani kwa ligoya pahala pa soku.
44 Alas for you! You are like unsuspected graves, over which men walk unawares.’
Shondi mwenga! Toziya mulifana na mapumba yagalififa, wantu pawagendagenda kunani kwakuwi pota na kuvimana.”
45 Here one of the students of the Law interrupted him by saying, ‘Teacher, when you say this, you are insulting us also.’
Yumu gwa Wafunda wa Malagaliru kamgambira, “Mfunda, pagutakuliti hangu, gutuhigilanga na twenga vilavi.”
46 But Jesus went on, ‘Alas for you, too, you students of the Law! You load people with loads that are too heavy to carry, but do not, yourselves, touch them with one of your fingers.
Yesu kamwankula, “Shondi mwenga wafunda wa Malagaliru! Muwatwika wantu visanka vipapika ndiri, kumbiti mwaweni mwenga muweza ndiri ata kwa shala kuwatanga.
47 Alas for you! You build the monuments of the prophets whom your ancestors killed.
Shondi mwenga! Mganyawa mapumba gaherepa ga wambuyi wa Mlungu, weni wazewi wenu wawalagiti.
48 You are actually witnesses to your ancestors’ acts and show your approval of them, because, while they killed the prophets, you build tombs for them.
Su mgapitawulira na kugajimira galii gawatenditi wazewi wenu, wawalagiti wambuyi wa Mlungu, na mwenga mugajengera mapumba gawu.
49 That is why the wisdom of God said – “I will send to them prophets and apostles,
Toziya ayi Luhala lya Mlungu lutakuliti hangu, ‘Hanuwajegeri wambuyi wa Mlungu na wantumintumi, kumbiti hawawalagi wambuyi wa Mlungu wamu na kuwatabisiya wamonga.’
50 some of whom they will persecute and kill, in order that the blood of all the prophets that has been spilt since the creation of the world may be exacted from this generation –
Su wantu wa shipindi ashi hawatozwi kwa kuwalaga wambuyi wa Mlungu kwanjira pawanyawiti pasipanu,
51 from the blood of Abel down to the blood of Zechariah, who was slain between the altar and the house of God.” Yes, I tell you, it will be exacted from this generation.
kwanjira pawamlagiti Abeli mpaka Zakariya ulii yawamlagiti pakati pashitalawanda sha kutambikira, pahala Pananagala. Yina, nakuwagambira, wantu wa shipindi ashi hawatozwi kwa matendu gawu.
52 Alas for you students of the Law! You have taken away the key of the door of knowledge. You have not gone in yourselves and you have hindered those who try to go in.’
“Shondi mwenga wafunda wa Malagaliru! Muufifa ufunguu ulii wa mlyangu gwa mahala na mwaweni mwenga hapeni mwingiri na muwalewelera woseri yawafira kwingira nawingira.”
53 When Jesus left the house, the teachers of the Law and the Pharisees began to press him hard and question him closely on many subjects,
Pakaweriti kankuwuka palii, wafunda wa Malagaliru pamuhera na Mafalisayu wanjiti kumgambira pawambeziya nentu na kumkosiya kwajili ya vintu vivuwa,
54 laying traps for him, so as to seize on anything that he might say.
pawajera kumgomiziya pakatakula shintu shipayira su wapati pakumbatira.
