< Luke 11 >

1 And it came to pass, as he was praying in a certain place, that when he ceased, one of his disciples said unto him, Lord, teach us to pray, even as John also 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 And he said unto them, When ye pray, say, Father, Hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come.
Yesu kawagambira, “Pamluwa Mlungu mlongi hangu, ‘Tati, Litawu lyaku likwiswi, Ufalumi waku wizi.
3 Give us day by day our daily bread.
Gutupanani shiboga shetu sha kila lishaka
4 And forgive us our sins; for we ourselves also forgive every one that is indebted to us. And bring us not into temptation.
Gutulekiziyi vidoda vyetu, Mana twenga tuwalekeziya woseri yawatutenditi upyota. Pota nagututula mukujerwa.’”
5 And he said unto them, Which of you shall have a friend, and shall go unto him at midnight, and say to him, 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 is come to me from a journey, and I have nothing to set before him;
Ganja gwangu yakaweriti mumwanja, kapitira pakaya pangu na neni nahera shiboga shakumupa.’
7 and he from within shall answer and say, Trouble me not: the door is now shut, and my children are with me in bed; I cannot rise and give thee?
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 say unto you, Though he will not rise and give him, because he is his friend, yet because of his importunity he will arise and give him as many as he needeth.
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 I say unto you, Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you.
“Su nankuwagambira, guluwi na hampananwi, gusakuli na haguwoni, gutendi hodi na hamvugulirwi.
10 For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened.
Mana woseri yawaluwa hawapananwi na woseri yawasakula, hawawoni na mlyangu haguvugulwi kwa kila muntu yakatenda hodi.
11 And of which of you that is a father shall his son ask a loaf, and he give him a stone? or a fish, and he for a fish give him a serpent?
Mwana pakamluwa tati gwakuwi somba, hashi hakampanani njoka badala ya somba?
12 Or [if] he shall ask an egg, will he give him a scorpion?
Na pakamluwa ligi, hakampanani shipinini?
13 If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children, how much more shall [your] heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to them that 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 And he was casting out a devil [which was] dumb. And it came to pass, when the devil was gone out, the dumb man spake; and the multitudes marveled.
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, By Beelzebub the prince of the devils casteth he out devils.
kumbiti wantu wamu mulipinga lilii walonga, “Belizebuli, mkulu gwa washamshera ndo yakampananiti makakala ga kuwalaviya washamshera.”
16 And others, tempting [him], sought of him a sign from heaven.
Wamonga wafiriti kumjera Yesu, su wamgambira kawalanguziyi mauzauza kulonga nakaka Mlungu ndo yakamtumiti.
17 But he, knowing their thoughts, said unto them, Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation; and a house [divided] against a house falleth.
Kumbiti Yesu kavimaniti kala shawalihola, su kawagambira, “Ufalumi woseri waubagulika weni vipinga vipinga vyavisingana vyeni hapeni vilikali, kaya payibagulika yeni mpaka iyagamili.
18 And if Satan also is divided against himself, how shall his kingdom stand? because ye say that I cast out devils by Beelzebub.
Su handa ufalumi wa Shetani pawuwera muvipinga na pawalikoma weni, hawuendereyi hashi? Mlonga kuwera ndaviya washamshera toziya Belizebuli kanupiti makakala ga kutenda aga,
19 And if I by Beelzebub cast out devils, by whom do your sons cast them out? therefore shall they 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 I by the finger of God cast out devils, then is the kingdom of God come upon you.
Kumbiti payiwera nankuwinga washamshera kwa makakala ga Mlungu, su muvimani kuwera Ufalumi wa Mlungu usoka kala kwa mwenga.
21 When the strong [man] fully armed guardeth his own court, his goods are in peace:
“Muntu kana makakala pakawera na silaha zoseri, pakalolera numba yakuwi mweni, vyoseri vyakaweriti navi haviweri salama.
22 but when a stronger than he shall come upon him, and overcome him, he taketh from him his whole armour wherein he trusted, and divideth his spoils.
Kumbiti pakiza muntu kana makakala kuliku yomberi pakamkoma na kumsinda, hakatoli silaha zoseri zakalitumbiriti muntu ulii na kugawana ulunda wakuwi.
23 He that is not with me is against me; and he that gathereth not with me scattereth.
“Yoseri yakawera ndiri uwega wa neni ndo nakaka kanema neni na yoseri yakajojinira ndiri pamuhera na neni, ayu ndo kapalasiya.
24 The unclean spirit when he is gone out of the man, passeth through waterless places, seeking rest; and finding none, he saith, I will turn back unto my house whence I came out.
“Shamshera pakawingwa kulawa kwa muntu, kayerayera mlaa mushiwala pakasakula pakwoyera. Pakapata ndiri pakwoyera, kalitakuziya mweni, ‘Hambuyi kunumba kwangu kwandawiti.’
25 And when he is come, he findeth it swept and garnished.
Pakawuya na kwona numba ilii wayifyagira na kuyiherepiziya.
26 Then goeth he, and taketh [to him] seven other spirits more evil than himself; and they enter in and dwell there: and the last state of that man becometh 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 And it came to pass, as he said these things, a certain woman out of the multitude lifted up her voice, and said unto him, Blessed is the womb that bare thee, and the breasts which thou didst suck.
Yesu pakaweriti kankutakula hangu, mdala yumu kulawa mulipinga lya wantu kamgambira, “Mbaka mdala yakakuleriti na kukunoniziya!”
28 But he said, Yea rather, blessed are they that hear the word of God, and keep it.
Kumbiti Yesu kamwankula, “Mbaka nentu kwa walii yawapikanira shisoweru sha Mlungu na kushijimira”
29 And when the multitudes were gathering together unto him, he began to say, This generation is an evil generation: it seeketh after a sign; and there shall no sign be given to it but 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 even as Jonah became a sign unto the Ninevites, so shall also 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 The queen of the south shall rise up in the judgment with 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.
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 The men of Nineveh shall stand up in the judgment with this generation, and shall condemn it: for they repented at the preaching of Jonah; and behold, a greater than Jonah is here.
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 man, when he hath lighted a lamp, putteth it in a cellar, neither under the bushel, but on the stand, that they which enter 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 thy body is thine eye: when thine eye is single, thy whole body also is full of light; but when it is evil, thy body also is full of darkness.
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 Look therefore whether the light that is in thee be not darkness.
Su gwikali weri, gulangala gwaguweriti mngati mwaku naguwera luwindu.
36 If therefore thy whole body be full of light, having no part dark, it shall be wholly full of light, as when the lamp with its bright shining doth give thee light.
Handa nshimba yaku yoseri paiwera ilangala, pota kuwera pahala poseri pa luwindu, nshimba ayi hayilangali nakaka gambira shikoloboyi ntambu yashikulangalira kwa gulangala wakuwi.”
37 Now as he spake, a Pharisee asketh him to dine with him: and he went in, and sat down to meat.
Yesu pakamaliriti kulonga, Mfalisayu yumu kamshemeriti ukaya kwakuwi waliyi shiboga pamuhera, su Yesu kagenditi na kulivaga kuliya shiboga.
38 And when the Pharisee saw it, he marveled that he had not first washed before dinner.
Mafalisayu walikangasha pawamwoniti kankuliya shiboga pota kugulula huti mawoku.
39 And the Lord said unto him, Now do ye Pharisees cleanse the outside of the cup and of the platter; but your inward part is full of extortion and wickedness.
Su Mtuwa kamgambira, “Mwenga Mafalisayu mgulula vikombi na sahani kwa kunja kumbiti mngati mmema lwamata na vidoda.
40 Ye foolish ones, did not he that made the outside make the inside also?
Mwawazyigizyigi mwenga! Mlungu ndo yakanyawiti kunja, kayi kanyawiti mngati.
41 Howbeit give for alms those things which are within; and behold, all things are clean unto you.
Kumbiti muwayupi wahushu shilii shashiweriti muvikombi na musahani na kila shintu hashiweri shiherepa kwa mwenga.
42 But woe unto you Pharisees! for ye tithe mint and rue and every herb, and pass over judgment and the love of God: but these ought ye to have done, and not to leave the other undone.
“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 Woe unto you Pharisees! for ye love the chief seats in the synagogues, and the salutations in the marketplaces.
“Shondi mwenga Mafalisayu! Mfira kulivaga palongolu pawapapanana ligoya munumba za Mlungu na kukulamsiyani kwa ligoya pahala pa soku.
44 Woe unto you! for ye are as the tombs which appear not, and the men that walk over [them] know it not.
Shondi mwenga! Toziya mulifana na mapumba yagalififa, wantu pawagendagenda kunani kwakuwi pota na kuvimana.”
45 And one of the lawyers answering saith unto him, Master, in saying this thou reproachest us also.
Yumu gwa Wafunda wa Malagaliru kamgambira, “Mfunda, pagutakuliti hangu, gutuhigilanga na twenga vilavi.”
46 And he said, Woe unto you lawyers also! for ye lade men with burdens grievous to be borne, and ye yourselves touch not the burdens 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 Woe unto you! for ye build the tombs of the prophets, and your fathers killed them.
Shondi mwenga! Mganyawa mapumba gaherepa ga wambuyi wa Mlungu, weni wazewi wenu wawalagiti.
48 So ye are witnesses and consent unto the works of your fathers: for they killed them, and ye build [their tombs].
Su mgapitawulira na kugajimira galii gawatenditi wazewi wenu, wawalagiti wambuyi wa Mlungu, na mwenga mugajengera mapumba gawu.
49 Therefore also said the wisdom of God, I will send unto them prophets and apostles; and [some] of them they shall kill and persecute;
Toziya ayi Luhala lya Mlungu lutakuliti hangu, ‘Hanuwajegeri wambuyi wa Mlungu na wantumintumi, kumbiti hawawalagi wambuyi wa Mlungu wamu na kuwatabisiya wamonga.’
50 that the blood of all the prophets, which was shed from the foundation of the world, may be required of this generation;
Su wantu wa shipindi ashi hawatozwi kwa kuwalaga wambuyi wa Mlungu kwanjira pawanyawiti pasipanu,
51 from the blood of Abel unto the blood of Zachariah, who perished between the altar and the sanctuary: yea, I say unto you, it shall be required of 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 Woe unto you lawyers! for ye took away the key of knowledge: ye entered not in yourselves, and them that were entering in ye hindered.
“Shondi mwenga wafunda wa Malagaliru! Muufifa ufunguu ulii wa mlyangu gwa mahala na mwaweni mwenga hapeni mwingiri na muwalewelera woseri yawafira kwingira nawingira.”
53 And when he was come out from thence, the scribes and the Pharisees began to press upon [him] vehemently, and to provoke him to speak of many things;
Pakaweriti kankuwuka palii, wafunda wa Malagaliru pamuhera na Mafalisayu wanjiti kumgambira pawambeziya nentu na kumkosiya kwajili ya vintu vivuwa,
54 laying wait for him, to catch something out of his mouth.
pawajera kumgomiziya pakatakula shintu shipayira su wapati pakumbatira.
