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.”
jilyahumile ikighono kino, uYesu alyale ikufunya pamonga, um'bulanisivua ghwake jumo akam'bulagha kuuti,” Mutwa, utuvulanisie najusue kukufunya ndavule uYohani alyavulanisie avavulanisivua vake”
2 “When you pray,” Jesus answered, “say – ‘Father, may your name be held holy, your kingdom come.
uYesu akamwamula pano mukufunya mutisaghe, “Mutwa ilitavua lyako lyimikwaghe, uvwimike vwako vwisaghe.
3 Give us each day the bread that we will need;
utupelaghe ifyakulia fiitu ifya jaatu.
4 and forgive us our sins, for we ourselves forgive everyone who wrongs us; and take us not into temptation.’”
utusaghilaghe inyivi siitu, ndavule najusue tukuvasaghila voni vano vatuhokile. nungalulongosiaghe munngelo”
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,
uYesu akavavula akati, “ghwe veeni mu lyumue umanyani juno ikumulutila pakilo pe ikum'bula, manyani nisuuma amakate ghatatu.
6 for a friend of mine has arrived at my house after a journey, and I have nothing to offer him;’
ulwakuva umanyani ghwango anyisile si sala sisisi kuhuma muvukyusi, najune nilinsila ikya kun'tengelela. nu
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’;
ghwa mun'kate akamwamulagha akati uleke kunyangajisia, na june tughonile pa vulili. naningasisimuke nikupeele uve amakate.
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.
nikuvavula nambe naisisimuka kukumpela amakate ndavule umanyani ghwake, ulwakuva ijigha idindusia kisita soni isisimuka na kukumpela amakate minga ndavule vuno ilonda.
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.
najune nikuvavula musumaghe najumue mulapelua, mulondaaghe najumue mulafivona, muhodesyaghe najumue mulyadindulivua.
10 For the person who asks receives, everyone who searches finds, and to the person who knocks the door will be opened.
ulwakuva ummunhu ghweni juno isuuma alyupila, nu muunhu ghweni juno ilonda ikufyagha. nu munhu ghweni juno ihodesia umulyango ilidindulivua.
11 What father among you, if his son asks him for a fish, will give him a snake instead,
ghwe baba juliku mu lyumue juno umwanake angasume iswi ikumpela injoka?
12 or, if he asks for an egg, will give him a scorpion?
kange nave angasuume ilikang'a ikumpela iking'omelivuli?
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!”
nave umue mwe vahosi mukimanyile kuvapela avaanha vinu ifinu ifinofu, lino uNhaata ghwinu ughwa kukyanya nakyaikuvapela uMhepo uMwimike ku vano vikunsuuma?
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;
pambele uYesu alyale idaga ilipepo, umuunhu ynya lipepo alyale kinunu. ilipepo ye lihumile umuunhu jula akatengula kujova.
15 but some of them said, “He drives out demons by the help of Beelzebul, the chief of the demons”;
neke avaanhu avange vakati, “uju ivusia amapepo mwa Belisebuli, ili vaha lya mapepo.
16 while others, to test him, asked him for some sign from the heavens.
avange vakamughelagha kuuti avasone ikivalilo kuhuma kukyanya.
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.
neke uYesu akakagula amasaghe ghave akavavulagha, uvutwa vwovwoni vuno muligalung'ana vuliva vuvili, nu muunhu unya nyumba jino jigalungiine jilighua.
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.
nave uSetan iiva agalung'iine uvutwa vwake vukwimila ndani? ulwakuva mwiti nihumia amapepo mwa Belisebuli.
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.
neke une nihumia amapepo mwa Belisebuli, pe avajiinu vihumia amapepo kusila nyiki? mu uluo, avene vilikuvahigha umue.
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.
nave kange nihumia amapepo ni kyove ikya Nguluve, lino uvutwa vwa Nguluve vuvisile.
21 When a strong man is keeping guard, fully armed, over his own mansion, his property is in safety;
umuunhu umunya ngufu pano alinifilwilo ilolela inyumba jake, ifinu fyake viiva pavunofu.
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.
neke amwalukile umuunhu unya ngufu kyongo, umuunhu jula unya ngufu ilikunya ifilwilo fyake pe itola ifiinu fyake fyooni.
23 Whoever is not with me is against me, and the person who does not help me to gather is scattering.
umwene juno na lubale lwango alikinsana nune, na juno naikong'ania palikimo nune ipalasania.
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’;
ilipepo ililamafu likahuma kwa muunhu, iluta kulonda uvukalo uvusila malenga apuo apume. neke napakavonike, ijova iti, nigomoka kuno nikahumile.
25 but, on coming there, it finds it unoccupied, swept, and put in order.
angagomoke nene ivoona inyumba jifyaghililue pejikale vunofu.
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.”
apuo peliluta kulonda amapepo likale lubale ghano mahosi kukila ilyene neke likuvaleta vise vikale pala apuo umuunhu ujuo ilemua kyongo kukila ulutasi.
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!”
jilyahumile kuuti alyatile ijova amasio aghuo, un'dala jumonga akajova fiijo kukila vooni mulipugha lya vaanhu na kujova, “lifunyilue ilileme lino likuholile na mavele ghano ghwong'ile”
28 But Jesus replied, “Rather, happy are those who listen to God’s message and keep it.”
neke umwene akati, vafunyilue vala vano vipulika ilisio lya Nguluve na kukulivombela.
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.
unsiki ilipugha lya vaanhu ye likong'aana na kukwongelela uYesu akatengula kujova, “ikisina iki kye kisina kya vuhosi. vilonda ikivalilo, na kusila kivalilo kino vipelua kukila ikivalilo kila ikya Yoona.
30 For, as Jonah became a sign to the people of Nineveh, so will the Son of Man be to this generation.
ulwakuva ndavule u Yoona alyale kivalilo ku vaanhu va Ninaawi enendikio nu mwana ghwa Muunhu fye iliva kivalilo kya kisina iki.
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!
uMalikia ughwa ku seba ilikwima ikighono kya vuhighi na vaanhu va kisina iki na kukuvahigha aveene, ulwakuva umwene alyahumile mu vusililo vwa iisi neke iise apulikisie uvukoola vwa solomoni, napa pwale juno m'baha kukila uSolomoni.
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!
avaanhu va kuNinawi vilikwima ku highua palikimo na vaanhu va kisina iki ikighono kya vuhighi vili kukihigha, ulwakuva aveene valyalatile ku madalikili gha Yoona, pe lola apa pwale juno m'baha kukila uYoona.
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.
nakwale umuunu ghweni juno ikunga itaala na kuvika ku lubale lwa paasi lwa ng'iisi jino najivoneka nambe paasi pa ndilo, neke kukunga na kuvika pakyanya pa kinu neke kuuti umuunhu ghweni juno ikwingila alyaghaghe ulumuli.
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.
iliso lyako je taala ja m'bili. iliso lyako lingave linono pe umb'ili gwaki ghwoni ghuve mulumuli. neke iliso lyako lingave livivi pe naghubili ghwako ghwoni ghuva ghunya ng'iisi.
35 Take care, therefore, that the inner light is not darkness.
pe lino mujilolelelaghe nu lumuli luno luli n'kate jinu nalungaponekesiaghe ing'iisi
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.”
pe lino, ndeve um'bili ghwako ghwoni ghuli mu lumuli kange nakwelule ulubale luno luli mung'iisi, pe um'bili ghwako ghuva ndavule itaala jino jiviika na kuhumia ulumuli kulyumue”.
37 As Jesus finished speaking, a Pharisee asked him to breakfast with him, and Jesus went in and took his place at the table.
ye ati amalile pijova, uFalisayi akamughongola akalie ikyakulia ku nyumba jaake, uYesu akingila mu n'kate na kuuva palikimo navope. na
38 The Pharisee noticed, to his astonishment, that Jesus omitted the ceremonial washing before breakfast.
vasalisayi vakadegha ndavule nakanawile taasi ye kikyale ikyakulia ikya pakivwilile.
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.
neke UMtwa akavavula, “umue vaFarisayi musuka kunji ifikombe ni bakuli, neke nkate jinu mumemile inoghelua nu vuhosi.
40 Fools! Did not the maker of the outside make the inside too?
mwe vaanhu mwe vasila vukagusi, pe umwene juno alyavumbile kunji nalyavumbile mun'kate kange?
41 Only give away what is in them in charity, and at once you have the whole clean.
muvapelaghe avakotofu fino fili mun'kate, ni mbombo sooni siiva nofu kulyumue.
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.
iga umue mwe vafalisayi, ulwakuva namuvikila umwoojo kukuvavombela avange inofu na kuku mughana uNguluve. lwe lunono fiijo kuvomba isa kyang'haani na kukumughana uNguluve, kisila kuvuhila kuvomba aghuo na ghange kange.
43 Alas for you Pharisees! You delight to have the front seat in the synagogues, and to be greeted in the markets with respect.
iga umue Mafalisayi, ulwakuva munoghelua kukukala mu fitengo ifya kuvulongolo mu nyumba inyimike ja kufunyila na kuhungilua ni nyungililo isa vukoola kuno vighusikisia na kughulila.
44 Alas for you! You are like unsuspected graves, over which men walk unawares.”
iga umue, ulwakuva muling'ana ni mbiipa sino sisila fivalilo fino avaanhu vighenda mimbiipa isio kisila kukagula.
45 Here one of the students of the Law interrupted him by saying, “Teacher, when you say this, you are insulting us also.”
umb'ulanisi jumonga ghwa ndaghilo sa Kiyahudi akamwamula na kukumb'ula, “m'bulanisi, kino ghujova kikutukalasia kange usue”.
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.
uYesu akati, “iga umue, vavulanisi va ndaghilo! kiki mukuvapela avaanhu amasigo amakome ghano naviwesia kupinda, neke umue namukola amasigho aghuo nambe ku kyove kimo mu fyove fiinu.
47 Alas for you! You build the monuments of the prophets whom your ancestors killed.
iga umue, ulwakuva mujenga na kuvika ikumbukumbu mu mbiipa sa vavili' vano vakabudilue na vaghogholo vinu.
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.
neke umue mukufunyila na kukwiting'ana ni mbombo sino valyavombile avaghogholo vinu, ulwakuva kyang'ani valyavabudile avavili vano mujenga ikumbukumbu mumbiipa saave.
49 That is why the wisdom of God said – ‘I will send to them prophets and apostles,
mu uluo kange, uvokoola vwa Nguluve vwiti, 'nikuvasung'ila avavili na vasung'ua vope vilikuvapumusia na kukuvabuda vamonga.
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 –
ikisina iki kilihombela idanda ja vavili vano vabudilue kuhuma muvutengululo vwa iisi,
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.
kuhuma idanda ja Abeli kuhanga idanda ja Sakalia, juno alyabudilue pakate pa vwimike. Ena nikuvavula umue, ikisina iki kilhombela.
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.”
iga umue vavulanisi va ndaghilo sa vayahudi, ulwakuva mutolile ifungulo sa vukagusi; kange jumue namukwingila, ku vala vano vilonda kukwingila mukuvasigha.
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,
pe baho uYesu akavuka pala, avalembi na vafalisayi vakampinga na kujofesania nu mwene mu nyinga.
54 laying traps for him, so as to seize on anything that he might say.
vakaghela kukuntanga ku masio ghake.
