< Luke 11 >

1 It happened when Jesus was praying in a certain place, one of his disciples said to him, “Lord, teach us to pray just as John taught his disciples.”
Bí ó ti ń gbàdúrà ní ibi kan, bí ó ti dákẹ́, ọ̀kan nínú àwọn ọmọ-ẹ̀yìn rẹ̀ wí fún un pé, “Olúwa, kọ́ wa bí a ti ń gbàdúrà, bí Johanu ti kọ́ àwọn ọmọ-ẹ̀yìn rẹ̀.”
2 Jesus said to them, “When you pray say, 'Father, may your name be sanctified. May your kingdom come.
Ó sì wí fún wọn pé, “Nígbà tí ẹ̀yin bá ń gbàdúrà, ẹ máa wí pé: “‘Baba wa tí ń bẹ ní ọ̀run, kí á bọ̀wọ̀ fún orúkọ yín. Kí ìjọba yín dé, ìfẹ́ tiyín ni kí a ṣe, bí i ti ọrun, bẹ́ẹ̀ ni ní ayé.
3 Give us our daily bread each day.
Fún wa ní oúnjẹ òòjọ́ wa lójoojúmọ́.
4 Forgive us our sins, as we forgive everyone who is in debt to us. Do not lead us into temptation.'”
Kí o sì dárí ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ wa jì wá; nítorí àwa tìkára wa pẹ̀lú a máa dáríjì olúkúlùkù ẹni tí ó jẹ wá ní gbèsè, Má sì fà wá sínú ìdánwò, ṣùgbọ́n gbà wá lọ́wọ́ ẹni búburú ni.’”
5 Jesus said to them, “Which of you will have a friend, and will go to him at midnight, and say to him, 'Friend, lend to me three loaves of bread,
Ó sì wí fún wọn pé, “Ta ni nínú yín tí yóò ní ọ̀rẹ́ kan, tí yóò sì tọ̀ ọ́ lọ láàrín ọ̀gànjọ́, tí yóò sì wí fún un pé, ‘Ọ̀rẹ́, yá mi ní ìṣù àkàrà mẹ́ta.
6 since a friend of mine just came in from the road, and I do not have anything to set before him'?
Nítorí ọ̀rẹ́ mi kan ti àjò dé sọ́dọ̀ mi, èmi kò sì ní nǹkan tí èmi ó gbé kalẹ̀ níwájú rẹ̀.’
7 Then the one inside who answered him may say, 'Do not bother me. The door is already shut, and my children, along with me, are in bed. I am not able to get up and give bread to you.'
Tí òun ó sì gbé inú ilé dáhùn wí fún un pé, ‘Má yọ mí lẹ́nu, a ti sé ìlẹ̀kùn, àwọn ọmọ mi si ń bẹ lórí ẹní pẹ̀lú mi: èmi kò lè dìde fi fún ọ!’
8 I say to you, even if he does not get up and give bread to you because you are his friend, yet because of your shameless persistence, he will get up and give you as many loaves of bread as you need.
Mo wí fún yín, bí òun kò tilẹ̀ ti fẹ́ dìde kí ó fi fún un nítorí tí í ṣe ọ̀rẹ́ rẹ̀, ṣùgbọ́n nítorí àwíìyánnu rẹ̀, yóò dìde, yóò sì fún un tó bí ó ti ń fẹ́.
9 I also say to you, ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you.
“Èmí sì wí fún yín, ẹ béèrè, a ó sì fi fún un yín; ẹ wá kiri, ẹ̀yin ó sì rí; ẹ kànkùn, a ó sì ṣí i sílẹ̀ fún yín.
10 For every asking person receives; and the seeking person finds; and to the person who knocks, it will be opened.
Nítorí ẹnikẹ́ni tí ó bá béèrè, ó rí gbà; ẹni tí ó sì ń wá kiri, ó rí; àti ẹni tí ó kànkùn ni a ó ṣí i sílẹ̀ fún.
11 Which father among you, if your son asks for a fish, will give him a snake instead of a fish?
“Ta ni baba nínú yín tí ọmọ rẹ̀ yóò béèrè àkàrà lọ́dọ̀ rẹ̀, tí yóò fún un ní òkúta? Tàbí bí ó béèrè ẹja, tí yóò fún un ní ejò?
12 Or if he asks for an egg, will you give a scorpion to him?
Tàbí bí ó sì béèrè ẹ̀yin, tí yóò fún un ní àkéekèe?
13 Therefore, if you who are evil know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father from heaven give the Holy Spirit to those who ask him?”
Ǹjẹ́ bí ẹ̀yin tí ó jẹ́ ènìyàn búburú bá mọ bí a ti í fi ẹ̀bùn dáradára fún àwọn ọmọ yín, mélòó mélòó ha ni Baba yín tí ń bẹ ní ọ̀run yóò fi Ẹ̀mí Mímọ́ rẹ̀ fún àwọn tí ó béèrè lọ́dọ̀ rẹ̀!”
14 Now Jesus was driving out a demon that was mute. When the demon had gone out, the man who had been mute spoke, and the crowd was amazed.
Ó sì ń lé ẹ̀mí èṣù kan jáde, tí ó sì yadi. Nígbà tí ẹ̀mí èṣù náà jáde, odi sọ̀rọ̀; ẹnu sì ya ìjọ ènìyàn.
15 But some of the people said, “By Beelzebul, the ruler of demons, he is driving out demons.”
Ṣùgbọ́n àwọn ẹlòmíràn nínú wọn wí pé, “Nípa Beelsebulu olórí àwọn ẹ̀mí èṣù ni ó fi ń lé àwọn ẹ̀mí èṣù jáde.”
16 Others tested him and sought from him a sign from heaven.
Àwọn ẹlòmíràn sì ń dán an wò, wọ́n ń fẹ́ àmì lọ́dọ̀ rẹ̀ láti ọ̀run wá.
17 But Jesus knew their thoughts and said to them, “Every kingdom divided against itself is made desolate, and a house divided against itself falls.
Ṣùgbọ́n òun mọ èrò inú wọn, ó wí fún wọn pé, “Gbogbo ìjọba tí ó ya ara rẹ̀ ní ipá, ni a ń sọ di ahoro; ilé tí ó sì ya ara rẹ̀ nípá yóò wó.
18 If Satan is divided against himself, how will his kingdom stand? For you say I cast out demons by Beelzebul.
Bí Satani ba yapa sí ara rẹ̀, ìjọba rẹ̀ yóò ha ṣe dúró? Nítorí ẹ̀yin wí pé, nípa Beelsebulu ni èmi fi ń lé àwọn ẹ̀mí èṣù jáde.
19 If I drive out demons by Beelzebul, by whom do your followers drive them out? Because of this, they will be your judges.
Bí ó ba ṣe pé nípa Beelsebulu ni èmi fi ń lé àwọn ẹ̀mí èṣù jáde, nípa ta ni àwọn ọmọ yín fi ń lé wọn jáde, nítorí náà àwọn ni yóò ṣe onídàájọ́ yín.
20 But if I drive out demons by the finger of God, then the kingdom of God has come to you.
Ṣùgbọ́n bí ó bá ṣe pé nípa ìka ọwọ́ Ọlọ́run ni èmi fi ń lé àwọn ẹ̀mí èṣù jáde, ǹjẹ́ ìjọba Ọlọ́run dé bá yín tán.
21 When a strong man who is fully armed guards his own house, his goods are safe,
“Nígbà tí alágbára ọkùnrin tí ó ni ìhámọ́ra bá ń ṣọ́ ààfin rẹ̀, ẹrù rẹ̀ yóò wà ní àlàáfíà.
22 but when a stronger man overcomes him, the stronger man takes away the armor from the man, and plunders the man's possessions.
Ṣùgbọ́n nígbà tí ẹni tí ó ní agbára jù ú bá kọlù ú, tí ó sì ṣẹ́gun rẹ̀ a gba gbogbo ìhámọ́ra rẹ̀ tí ó gbẹ́kẹ̀lé lọ́wọ́ rẹ̀, a sì pín ìkógun rẹ̀.
23 The one who is not with me is against me, and the one who does not gather with me scatters.
“Ẹni tí kò bá wà pẹ̀lú mi, ó lòdì sí mi, ẹni tí kò bá sì bá mi kójọpọ̀, ó fọ́nká.
24 When an unclean spirit has gone away from a man, it passes through waterless places and looks for rest. Finding none, it says, 'I will return to my house from which I came.'
“Nígbà tí ẹ̀mí àìmọ́ bá jáde kúrò lára ènìyàn, a máa rìn kiri ní ibi gbígbẹ, a máa wá ibi ìsinmi; nígbà tí kò bá sì rí, a wí pé, ‘Èmi yóò padà lọ sí ilé mi ní ibi tí mo gbé ti jáde wá.’
25 Having returned, it finds that house swept out and put in order.
Nígbà tí ó bá sì dé, tí ó sì rí tí a gbá a, tí a sì ṣe é ní ọ̀ṣọ́.
26 Then it goes and takes along with it seven other spirits more evil than itself and they all come in to live there. Then the final condition of that man becomes worse than the first.”
Nígbà náà ni yóò lọ, yóò sì mú ẹ̀mí méje mìíràn tí ó burú ju òun tìkára rẹ̀ lọ wá, wọn yóò wọlé, wọn yóò sì máa gbé níbẹ̀, ìgbẹ̀yìn ọkùnrin náà yóò sì burú ju ìṣáájú rẹ̀ lọ.”
27 It happened that, as he said these things, a certain woman raised her voice above the crowd and said to him, “Blessed is the womb that bore you and the breasts that nursed you.”
Bí ó ti ń sọ nǹkan wọ̀nyí, obìnrin kan gbóhùn rẹ̀ sókè nínú ìjọ, ó sì wí fún un pé, “Ìbùkún ni fún inú tí ó bí ọ, àti ọmú tí ìwọ mu!”
28 But he said, “Rather, blessed are they who hear the word of God and keep it.”
Ṣùgbọ́n òun wí pé, nítòótọ́, kí ó kúkú wí pé, “Ìbùkún ni fún àwọn tí ń gbọ́ ọ̀rọ̀ Ọlọ́run, tí wọ́n sì pa á mọ́!”
29 As the crowds were increasing, Jesus began to say, “This generation is an evil generation. It seeks a sign, though no sign will be given to it except the sign of Jonah.
Nígbà tí ìjọ ènìyàn sì ṣùjọ sí ọ̀dọ̀ rẹ̀, ó bẹ̀rẹ̀ sí wí pé, “Ìran búburú ni èyí, wọ́n ń wá àmì; a kì yóò sì fi àmì kan fún un bí kò ṣe àmì Jona wòlíì!
30 For just as Jonah became a sign to the Ninevites, so too the Son of Man will be a sign to this generation.
Nítorí bí Jona ti jẹ́ àmì fún àwọn ará Ninefe, gẹ́gẹ́ bẹ́ẹ̀ ni Ọmọ Ènìyàn yóò ṣe jẹ́ àmì fún ìran yìí.
31 The Queen of the South will rise up at the judgment with the men of this generation and condemn them, for she came from the ends of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon, and see, someone greater than Solomon is here.
Ọbabìnrin gúúsù yóò dìde ní ọjọ́ ìdájọ́ pẹ̀lú àwọn ènìyàn ìran yìí, yóò sì dá wọn lẹ́bi: nítorí tí ó ti ìhà ìpẹ̀kun ayé wá láti gbọ́ ọgbọ́n Solomoni: sì kíyèsi i, ẹni tí ó pọ̀jù Solomoni lọ ń bẹ níhìn-ín yìí.
32 The men of Nineveh will stand up at the judgment with this generation of people and will condemn it, for they repented at the preaching of Jonah, and see, someone greater than Jonah is here.
Àwọn ará Ninefe yóò dìde ní ọjọ́ ìdájọ́ pẹ̀lú ìran yìí, wọn ó sì dá a lẹ́bi: nítorí tí wọn ronúpìwàdà nípa ìwàásù Jona; sì kíyèsi i, ẹni tí ó pọ̀jù Jona lọ ń bẹ níhìn-ín yìí.
33 No one, after lighting a lamp, puts it in a hidden place or under a basket, but on a lampstand, so that those who enter may see the light.
“Kò sí ẹnìkan, nígbà tí ó bá tan fìtílà tan, tí gbé e sí ìkọ̀kọ̀, tàbí sábẹ́ òsùwọ̀n, bí kò ṣe sórí ọ̀pá fìtílà, kí àwọn tí ń wọlé ba à lè máa rí ìmọ́lẹ̀.
34 Your eye is the lamp of the body. When your eye is good, the whole body is filled with light. But when your eye is bad, your body is full of darkness.
Ojú ni fìtílà ara: bí ojú rẹ bá mọ́lẹ̀ kedere, gbogbo ara rẹ a mọ́lẹ̀; ṣùgbọ́n bí ojú rẹ bá ṣókùnkùn, ara rẹ pẹ̀lú a kún fún òkùnkùn.
35 Therefore, be careful that the light in you is not darkness.
Nítorí náà kíyèsi i, kí ìmọ́lẹ̀ tí ń bẹ nínú rẹ má ṣe di òkùnkùn.
36 If then your whole body is full of light, with no part of it in darkness, then your whole body will be like when a lamp shines its brightness on you.”
Ǹjẹ́ bí gbogbo ara rẹ bá kún fún ìmọ́lẹ̀, tí kò ní apá kan tí ó ṣókùnkùn, gbogbo rẹ̀ ni yóò ní ìmọ́lẹ̀, gẹ́gẹ́ bí ìgbà tí fìtílà bá fi ìtànṣán rẹ̀ fún ọ ní ìmọ́lẹ̀.”
37 When he had finished speaking, a Pharisee asked him to eat with him at his house, so Jesus went in and reclined.
Bí ó sì ti ń wí, Farisi kan bẹ̀ ẹ́ kí ó bá òun jẹun: ó sì wọlé, ó jókòó láti jẹun.
38 The Pharisee was surprised that Jesus first did not wash before dinner.
Nígbà tí Farisi náà sì rí i, ẹnu yà á nítorí tí kò kọ́kọ́ wẹ ọwọ́ kí ó tó jẹun.
39 But the Lord said to him, “Now then, you Pharisees clean the outside of cups and bowls, but the inside of you is filled with greed and evil.
Olúwa sì wí fún un pé, “Ẹ̀yin Farisi a máa ń fọ òde ago àti àwopọ̀kọ́: ṣùgbọ́n, inú yín kún fún ìwà búburú àti ìrẹ́jẹ.
40 You senseless men! Did not the one who made the outside also make the inside?
Ẹ̀yin aṣiwèrè, ẹni tí ó ṣe èyí tí ń bẹ lóde, òun kò ha ṣe èyí tí ń bẹ nínú pẹ̀lú?
41 Give to the poor what is inside, and then all things will be clean for you.
Nípa ohun ti inú yin, ki ẹ̀yin kúkú máa ṣe ìtọrẹ àánú nínú ohun tí ẹ̀yin ní, sì kíyèsi i, ohun gbogbo ni ó di mímọ́ fún yín.
42 But woe to you Pharisees, because you tithe mint and rue and every other garden herb, but you neglect justice and the love of God. It is necessary to act justly and love God, without failing to do the other things also.
“Ṣùgbọ́n ègbé ni fún yín, ẹ̀yin Farisi, nítorí tí ẹ̀yin a máa san ìdámẹ́wàá minti àti irúgbìn, àti gbogbo ewébẹ̀, ṣùgbọ́n ẹ̀yin kọ ìdájọ́ àti ìfẹ́ Ọlọ́run: wọ̀nyí jẹ́ ohun tí ẹ gbọdọ̀ ṣe, láìsí fi àwọn ìyókù sílẹ̀ láìṣe.
43 Woe to you Pharisees, for you love the front seats in the synagogues and respectful greetings in the marketplaces.
“Ègbé ni fún yín, ẹ̀yin Farisi, àgàbàgebè! Nítorí tí ẹ̀yin fẹ́ ipò ọlá nínú Sinagọgu, àti ìkíni ní ọjà.
44 Woe to you, for you are like unmarked graves that people walk over without knowing it.”
“Ègbé ni fún un yín, nítorí ẹ̀yin dàbí ibojì tí kò farahàn, tí àwọn ènìyàn sì ń rìn lórí rẹ̀ láìmọ̀.”
45 One of the teachers of the law said to him, “Teacher, what you say insults us too.”
Nígbà náà ni ọ̀kan nínú àwọn amòfin dáhùn, ó sì wí fún un pé, “Olùkọ́, nínú èyí tí ìwọ ń wí yìí ìwọ ń gan àwa pẹ̀lú.”
46 Jesus said, “Woe to you, teachers of the law! For you put people under burdens that are hard to carry, but you do not touch the burdens with one of your own fingers.
Ó sì wí pé, “Ègbé ni fún ẹ̀yin amòfin pẹ̀lú, nítorí tí ẹ̀yin di ẹrù tí ó wúwo láti rù lé ènìyàn lórí, bẹ́ẹ̀ ni ẹ̀yin tìkára yín kò jẹ́ fi ìka yín kan ẹrù náà.
47 Woe to you, because you build tombs for the prophets, and it was your ancestors who killed them.
“Ègbé ni fún yín, nítorí tí ẹ̀yin kọ́ ibojì àwọn wòlíì, tí àwọn baba yín pa.
48 So you are witnesses and you consent to the works of your ancestors, for they indeed killed them and you build their tombs.
Ǹjẹ́ ẹ̀yin jẹ́ ẹlẹ́rìí, ẹ sì ní inú dídùn sí iṣẹ́ àwọn baba yín, nítorí tí wọn pa wọ́n, ẹ̀yin sì kọ́ ibojì wọn.
49 For this reason also, God's wisdom said, 'I will send to them prophets and apostles, and they will persecute and kill some of them.'
Nítorí èyí ni ọgbọ́n Ọlọ́run sì ṣe wí pé, ‘Èmi ni ó rán àwọn wòlíì àti àwọn aposteli sí wọn, wọn ó sì ṣe inúnibíni sí wọn.’
50 This generation, then, will be held responsible for all the blood of the prophets shed since the world began,
Kí a lè béèrè ẹ̀jẹ̀ àwọn wòlíì gbogbo, tí a ti ta sílẹ̀ láti ìgbà ìpilẹ̀ṣẹ̀ ayé wá, lọ́wọ́ ìran yìí;
51 from Abel's blood to the blood of Zechariah, who was killed between the altar and the sanctuary. Yes, I say to you, this generation will be held responsible.
láti ẹ̀jẹ̀ Abeli wá, títí ó sì fi dé ẹ̀jẹ̀ Sekariah, tí ó ṣègbé láàrín pẹpẹ àti tẹmpili. Lóòótọ́ ni mo wí fún yín ìran yìí ni yóò ru gbogbo ẹ̀bi àwọn nǹkan wọ̀nyí.
52 Woe to you teachers of Jewish laws, because you have taken away the key of knowledge; you do not enter in yourselves, and you hinder those who are entering.”
“Ègbé ni fún yín, ẹ̀yin amòfin, nítorí tí ẹ̀yin ti mú kọ́kọ́rọ́ ìmọ̀ kúrò; ẹ̀yin tìkára yín kò wọlé, àwọn tí sì ń wọlé, ni ẹ̀yin ń dí lọ́wọ́.”
53 After Jesus left there, the scribes and the Pharisees opposed him and argued with him about many things,
Bí ó ti ń lọ kúrò níbẹ̀, àwọn akọ̀wé àti àwọn Farisi bẹ̀rẹ̀ sí bi í lọ́rọ̀ gidigidi, wọ́n sì ń yọ ọ́ lẹ́nu láti wí nǹkan púpọ̀.
54 trying to trap him in his own words.
Wọ́n ń ṣọ́ ọ, wọ́n ń wá ọ̀nà láti rí nǹkan gbámú lẹ́nu kí wọn bá à lè fi ẹ̀sùn kàn án.
