Luke 11
1 One day Jesus was somewhere praying. When he finished [praying], one of his disciples said to him, “Lord, teach us [what to say when] we [(exc)] pray, as John [the Baptizer] taught his disciples!”
and to be in/on/among the/this/who to exist it/s/he in/on/among place one to pray as/when to cease to say one the/this/who disciple it/s/he to/with it/s/he lord: God to teach me to pray as/just as and John to teach the/this/who disciple it/s/he
2 He said to them, “When you pray, say [things like this]: ‘Father, we want you [(sg)] [MTY] to be honored/revered. [We want people to let you(sg)] [MTY, MET] rule over their lives.
to say then it/s/he when(-ever) to pray to say father (me the/this/who in/on/among the/this/who heaven *K*) to sanctify the/this/who name you to come/go the/this/who kingdom you (to be *KO*) (the/this/who will/desire you as/when in/on/among heaven and upon/to/against the/this/who earth: planet *K*)
3 Give us [(exc)] each day the food [SYN] that we need.
the/this/who bread me the/this/who daily to give me the/this/who according to day
4 Forgive us [for] the wrong things that we have done, because we forgive people for the wrong things that they do to us. Do not let us do wrong things when we are tempted {[someone or something] tempts us}.’”
and to release: forgive me the/this/who sin me and for it/s/he to release: forgive all to owe me and not to bring in me toward temptation/testing: temptation (but to rescue me away from the/this/who evil/bad *K*)
5 Then he said to them, “Suppose that one of you goes to the house of a friend at midnight. Suppose that you [(sg) stand outside and] call out to him, ‘My friend, please lend me three buns!
and to say to/with it/s/he which? out from you to have/be friendly/friend and to travel to/with it/s/he midnight and to say it/s/he friendly/friend to lend me Three bread
6 Another friend of mine who is traveling has just arrived [at my house], but I have no food [ready] to give to him!’
since friendly/friend me to come out from road to/with me and no to have/be which to set before it/s/he
7 Suppose that he answers you from inside [his house], ‘Do not bother me! The door has been locked {[We(exc)] have locked the door} and all my family are in bed. [So] I cannot get up and give you [(sg)] anything!’
and that inwardly to answer to say not me labor to furnish occasion already the/this/who door to shut and the/this/who child me with/after I/we toward the/this/who bed to be no be able to arise to give you
8 I will tell you that even if he does not [want to] get up and give you [any food], to avoid being ashamed [for not helping you] because you are his friend (OR, if without being ashamed you continue asking him to do that), he certainly will get up and give you whatever you need.
to say you if: even though and no to give it/s/he to arise through/because of the/this/who to exist friendly/friend it/s/he through/because of indeed the/this/who shamelessnes it/s/he to arise to give it/s/he (just as/how much *NK(o)*) to need
9 So I tell you this: Keep asking [God for what you need]. If you do that, [he] will give it to you [(pl)]. Confidently keep expecting [God to give you the things that you need], and [he] will give them to you [MET]. [It will be like] looking for what you need and finding it. Keep on [praying urgently to God. Then God will answer you. It will be like] knocking [on a door] so that [God] will open [the way] for you [to get what you pray for].
I/we and you to say to ask and to give you to seek and to find/meet to knock and to open you
10 Remember that [God] will give things to everyone who continues to ask [him for them]. [He] will give things to whoever confidently keeps asking. [He] will open [the way] for people [to get the things that they keep urgently praying for].
all for the/this/who to ask to take and the/this/who to seek to find/meet and the/this/who to knock to open
11 If one of you had a son who asked you [(sg)] for a fish [to eat], (you [(sg)] certainly would not give him a [poisonous] snake instead!/would you give him a [poisonous] snake instead?) [RHQ]
which? then (out from *no*) you the/this/who father to ask the/this/who son (bread not stone to give/deliver it/s/he *KO*) (if *K(o)*) fish and (not *ko*) for fish snake it/s/he to give/deliver
12 If he asked you for an egg, (you [(sg)] certainly would not give him a scorpion!/would you give him a scorpion?) [RHQ]
or and (if *K*) (to ask *NK(O)*) an egg (not *ko*) to give/deliver it/s/he scorpion
13 Even though you people are evil, you know how to give good things to your children. So your Father in heaven will certainly [give good things] to those who ask him, [including] giving the Holy Spirit, [who is the best gift].”
if therefore/then you evil/bad be already to know gift good to give the/this/who child you how much/many? more the/this/who father the/this/who out from heaven to give spirit/breath: spirit holy the/this/who to ask it/s/he
14 [One day there was a man there who, because a demon controlled him] [MTY], was unable to speak. After [Jesus expelled] the demon, the man [began to] talk. [Most of] the people [there] were amazed.
and to be to expel demon and it/s/he to be deaf/mute to be then the/this/who demon to go out to speak the/this/who deaf/mute and to marvel the/this/who crowd
15 But some of them said, “It is Beelzebub, the ruler of the demons, who enables [this man] to expel demons!”
one then out from it/s/he to say in/on/among Beelzebul (the/this/who *no*) ruler the/this/who demon to expel the/this/who demon
16 Other [people there] asked Jesus to perform a miracle [to prove (he was the Messiah/that he had come] from God) [MTY/EUP]. They wanted to trap him [into not being able to perform a miracle or into doing something ridiculous].
other then to test/tempt: test sign out from heaven to seek from/with/beside it/s/he
17 But Jesus knew what they were thinking. So he said to them, “If [the people in] one nation fight against each other, their nation will be destroyed {[they] will destroy their nation}. If [the people in] [MTY] one house are divided, they will cease to remain as one [family].
it/s/he then to know it/s/he the/this/who thought to say it/s/he all kingdom upon/to/against themself to divide to lay waste and house: household upon/to/against house: household to collapse
18 [Similarly], if Satan [and his demons] were fighting against each other, (his rule over them would [certainly] not last!/how would his rule over them last?) [RHQ] [I say this] because you are saying that I am expelling demons by [the power of] the ruler of [his own demons]
if then and the/this/who Satan upon/to/against themself to divide how! to stand the/this/who kingdom it/s/he that/since: since to say in/on/among Beelzebul to expel me the/this/who demon
19 Furthermore, if [it is true that] Satan enables me to expel demons, [is it also true that] your disciples [who] expel demons [do so] by [Satan’s] power [RHQ]? [No, that is not true]. So they will show that you [are not thinking logically].
if then I/we in/on/among Beelzebul to expel the/this/who demon the/this/who son you in/on/among which? to expel through/because of this/he/she/it it/s/he you judge to be
20 But because it is by the power [MTY] of God [that I expel demons], I am showing you [that the power of] God to [MET] rule [people’s lives] has come to you.”
if then in/on/among finger God (I/we *no*) to expel the/this/who demon therefore to precede/arrive upon/to/against you the/this/who kingdom the/this/who God
21 Then, [to show that by expelling evil spirits he was making it clear that he was much more powerful than Satan, Jesus said] [MET], “When a strong man who has many weapons guards his own house, no one can steal the things in his house.
when(-ever) the/this/who strong to arm fully to keep/guard: guard the/this/who themself palace/courtyard in/on/among peace to be the/this/who be already it/s/he
22 But when someone else who is stronger attacks that man and subdues him, he is able to take away the weapons in which the man trusted. Then he can take from that man’s house anything he [wants to].
when/as soon as then (the/this/who *k*) strong it/s/he to arrive/invade to conquer it/s/he the/this/who complete armor it/s/he to take up upon/to/against which to persuade and the/this/who plunder it/s/he to distribute
23 [No one can be neutral]. Those who do not help me [are opposing] me, and those who do not gather [people to become] my [disciples] are causing [those people] to go away [from me].”
the/this/who not to be with/after I/we according to I/we to be and the/this/who not to assemble with/after I/we to scatter
24 [Then Jesus said this]: “[Sometimes when] an evil spirit leaves someone, it wanders around in desolate areas seeking [someone in whom it can] rest. If it does not find anyone, it says [to itself], ‘I will return to the person in whom I used to live!’
when(-ever) the/this/who unclean spirit/breath: spirit to go out away from the/this/who a human to pass through through/because of waterless place to seek rest and not to find/meet (then *NO*) to say to return toward the/this/who house: home me whence to go out
25 So it goes back and finds that [the Spirit of God is not in control of that person’s life. The person’s life is like] a house that has been {that someone has} swept clean and everything put {put everything} in order, [but a house that is empty].
and to come/go to find/meet (be devoted/empty *O*) to sweep and to arrange
26 Then [this evil spirit] goes and gets seven other spirits that are [even] more evil than it is. They [all] enter [that person] and [begin] living there. [So], [although] that person’s condition [was bad] before, it became much worse.”
then to travel and to take other spirit/breath: spirit evil/bad themself seven and (to enter *NK(o)*) to dwell there and to be the/this/who last/least the/this/who a human that worse than the/this/who first
27 When Jesus said that, a woman who was listening called out [to him], “[God is] pleased with the woman who gave birth to you [(sg)] and let you nurse [at her breasts]!”
to be then in/on/among the/this/who to say it/s/he this/he/she/it to lift up one voice/sound: voice woman out from the/this/who crowd to say it/s/he blessed the/this/who belly/womb/stomach the/this/who to carry you and breast which to suckle
28 But he replied, “God [is] much more pleased with those who hear his message and obey it!”
it/s/he then to say rather blessed the/this/who to hear the/this/who word the/this/who God and to keep/guard: observe (it/s/he *k*)
29 When the group of people around [Jesus] got larger, he said, “[Many of] you people who have been observing my ministry are evil. You want [me to perform] a miracle [to prove that I have come from God], but the only miracle that [I] will perform for you is one [like happened to] Jonah.
the/this/who then crowd to collect/crowd be first to say the/this/who generation this/he/she/it (generation *no*) evil/bad to be sign (to seek *N(k)O*) and sign no to give it/s/he if: not not the/this/who sign Jonah (the/this/who prophet *K*)
30 [After Jonah was inside a huge fish for three days, God performed] a miracle [to restore] Jonah. [Jonah then went and testified about that] to the people in Nineveh [city. God will perform] a similar miracle [for me], the one who came from heaven. [When you people have seen that miracle, you will believe my message].
as/just as for to be (the/this/who *o*) Jonah the/this/who Ninevite sign thus(-ly) to be and the/this/who son the/this/who a human the/this/who generation this/he/she/it
31 [Long ago the] queen from [Sheba], [far] south [of Israel, traveled a long distance to hear Solomon speak many] wise things. But now [I, a man] who [is much] greater [and wiser] than Solomon, am here, [but you have not listened to what I have told you]. Therefore, at the time when [God] judges [all people], the queen from [Sheba] will stand there, [along] with you people, and will condemn you.
queen (Queen of) the South to arise in/on/among the/this/who judgment with/after the/this/who man the/this/who generation this/he/she/it and to condemn it/s/he that/since: since to come/go out from the/this/who end the/this/who earth: planet to hear the/this/who wisdom Solomon and look! greater Solomon here
32 The people who lived in Nineveh [city] turned from their sinful ways when Jonah preached to them. But now I, who am greater than Jonah, have come [and preached to you], [but you have not turned from your sinful ways]. Therefore, at the time when God judges [all people], the people who lived in Nineveh will stand there with you and condemn you.”
man (Ninevite *N(k)O*) to arise in/on/among the/this/who judgment with/after the/this/who generation this/he/she/it and to condemn it/s/he that/since: since to repent toward the/this/who preaching Jonah and look! greater Jonah here
33 [Then, to show them that they did not need more miracles, but that they needed only to understand better what he had already told them, he said to them] [MET], “People who light a lamp do not then hide it, or put it under a basket. Instead, they put it on a lampstand so that those who enter [their house] can see [things from] its light. [Similarly, I have not concealed God’s truth. I have revealed it to you].
none (then *k*) lamp to touch toward (cellar *N(K)O*) to place nor by/under: under the/this/who bucket but upon/to/against the/this/who lampstand in order that/to the/this/who to enter the/this/who (light *N(k)O*) to see
34 Your eyes [MET] are like a lamp for your body, because they enable you to see things. If your eyes are healthy, you are able to see everything well [MET]. [Similarly, if you(sg) accept my teaching, you will be able to know all that God wants you to know]. But if your eyes are bad, you are not able to see anything. It is like being in darkness [MET]. [And similarly, if you(pl) do not accept what I teach, you will not be able to know all the things that God wants you to know].
the/this/who lamp the/this/who body to be the/this/who eye (you *no*) when(-ever) (therefore/then *K*) the/this/who eye you sound to be and all the/this/who body you bright to be when/as soon as then evil/bad to be and the/this/who body you dark
35 Therefore, [you(pl) do not need to see more miracles. You need to think carefully about what I have already] told you, so that the things that you have heard from others do not cause you to remain in spiritual darkness [MET].
to watch out therefore/then not the/this/who light the/this/who in/on/among you darkness to be
36 If you [live completely according to God’s truth, you will be able to know everything that God wants you to know. It will be like] being in a room with a lamp shining brightly, enabling you to see everything clearly.”
if therefore/then the/this/who body you all bright not to have/be part one dark to be bright all as/when when(-ever) the/this/who lamp the/this/who lightning to illuminate you
37 While Jesus finished saying those things, a Pharisee invited him to eat a meal with him. So Jesus went to [his house] and ate with him.
in/on/among then the/this/who to speak (to ask *N(k)O*) it/s/he Pharisee (one *k*) that to eat early meal from/with/beside it/s/he to enter then to recline
38 The Pharisee was surprised when he saw that Jesus did not follow the Pharisees’ ritual by washing his hands before eating. [The Pharisees washed their hands in a certain way to be cleansed from anything that might have contaminated them. They were afraid that God might reject them if they] had [touched something unacceptable to God].
the/this/who then Pharisee to perceive: see to marvel that/since: that no first to baptize before the/this/who early meal
39 The Lord [Jesus] said to him, “You Pharisees are [concerned about things that are outside your bodies, not with what is in your] ([inner beings/hearts]) [MET]. You wash the outside of cups and dishes [before you eat because you think that doing that will make you acceptable to God], but within yourselves you are very greedy and wicked.
to say then the/this/who lord: God to/with it/s/he now you the/this/who Pharisee the/this/who outside the/this/who cup and the/this/who platter to clean the/this/who then inwardly you be full plunder and evil
40 You foolish people! [God] is concerned about things that are outside [our bodies], but (he is certainly also concerned about our inner [beings]!/isn’t he also concerned about our hearts?) [RHQ]
foolish no the/this/who to do/make: do the/this/who outside and the/this/who inwardly to do/make: do
41 Give [money] to those who are poor. [Give according to what you know within] your (inner [/heart]) [that you should give]. Then you [will be surprised to realize that] you will be acceptable [to God without having to perform all those rituals about washing].
but/however the/this/who be in to give charity and look! all clean you to be
42 But there will be terrible punishment for you Pharisees! You give to God a tenth of [all you produce, even] the various herbs that you grow, but you do not [remember that you must act] justly [toward others] and love God! It is good to [give a tenth of your income to God], but you ought to do these other things also!
but woe! you the/this/who Pharisee that/since: since to tithe the/this/who mint and the/this/who rue and all plant and to pass by the/this/who judgment and the/this/who love the/this/who God this/he/she/it (then *NO*) be necessary to do/make: do and that not (be present *N(k)O*)
43 There will be terrible punishment for you Pharisees, because you like [to sit in] the best seats in our worship places [so that people will think highly of you], and you like people to greet you [respectfully] in the marketplaces.
woe! you the/this/who Pharisee that/since: since to love the/this/who seat of honor in/on/among the/this/who synagogue and the/this/who salutation in/on/among the/this/who marketplace
44 There will be terrible punishment for you, because you are like ground where there is no marker [to indicate that there is a] grave [underneath]. People walk there, but they cannot see [what is rotten down below] [MET]! [Similarly, people who see you do not realize how polluted you are within yourselves].”
woe! you (scribe and Pharisee hypocrite *K*) that/since: since to be as/when the/this/who grave the/this/who unclear and the/this/who a human the/this/who to walk above no to know
45 One of those who taught the [Jewish] laws replied, “Teacher, by saying this you [(sg)] are criticizing us [also]!”
to answer then one the/this/who lawyer to say it/s/he teacher this/he/she/it to say and me to mistreat
46 Jesus said, “It will be terrible also for you who teach the [Jewish] laws! You require people [to obey many rules that are difficult to obey] [MET]. [That is like making them] carry heavy burdens on their backs. But you yourselves do not obey the laws [that you require others to obey]. (OR, you do not do anything to help [others to obey the laws].)
the/this/who then to say and you the/this/who lawyer woe! that/since: since to burden the/this/who a human burden ponderous and it/s/he one the/this/who finger you no to touch the/this/who burden
47 There will be terrible punishment for you! You decorate the tombs of the prophets whom your ancestors killed, [but you do not live according to what the prophets taught].
woe! you that/since: since to build the/this/who grave the/this/who prophet the/this/who then father you to kill it/s/he
48 So you are declaring that you approve of what your ancestors did. They killed the prophets, and you [are not honoring the prophets! You just] decorate their tombs!
therefore (witness *N(k)O*) (to be *no*) and to agree to the/this/who work the/this/who father you that/since: since it/s/he on the other hand to kill it/s/he you then to build (it/s/he *K*) (the/this/who *k*) (grave *K*)
49 So God, who is very wise [PRS], said, ‘I will send prophets and apostles [to you Jews]. [You] will kill some of them and cause some of them to suffer greatly.
through/because of this/he/she/it and the/this/who wisdom the/this/who God to say to send toward it/s/he prophet and apostle and out from it/s/he to kill and (to pursue *N(k)O*)
50 [As a result, I] will consider that many of you people [who have observed my Son’s ministry] will be guilty [MTY] [of murder, as if you had] killed all the prophets that other people have killed, from the time I created the world,
in order that/to to seek out the/this/who blood all the/this/who prophet the/this/who (to pour out *N(k)O*) away from beginning world away from the/this/who generation this/he/she/it
51 starting from [Adam’s son Cain] killing [his brother] Abel and continuing until they killed the prophet Zechariah [in the holy place] between the altar and the temple.’ Yes, what I am saying [is true] [MTY]. [God] will punish you people who have observed my ministry, you people whom [he] considers to be guilty [MTY] for [killing] all those prophets!
away from (the/this/who *k*) blood Abel until (the/this/who *k*) blood Zechariah the/this/who to destroy between/meanwhile the/this/who altar and the/this/who house: household yes to say you to seek out away from the/this/who generation this/he/she/it
52 There will be terrible punishment for you men who teach the [Jewish] laws, because you have [not let people] know [God’s truth] [MET]! [It is as though you are] taking away a key [to a house]. You are not going into [the house] yourselves, and you are not letting other people enter it, either.”
woe! you the/this/who lawyer that/since: since to take up the/this/who key the/this/who knowledge it/s/he no to enter and the/this/who to enter to prevent
53 After Jesus finished saying those things, he left there. Then the men who taught the [Jewish] laws and the Pharisees began to act in a very hostile way toward him. They tried to make him say what he thought about many things.
(and from there *no*) (to go out *N(k)O*) (then *k*) it/s/he (this/he/she/it to/with it/s/he *k*) be first the/this/who scribe and the/this/who Pharisee terribly to oppose and to interrogate it/s/he about greater
54 They kept waiting for him to say something [wrong] for which they could accuse him.
to ambush it/s/he (and *K*) (to seek *KO*) to hunt/catch one out from the/this/who mouth it/s/he (in order that/to to accuse it/s/he *KO*)
