Luke 11
1 At one place where He was praying, when He rose from His knees one of His disciples said to Him, "Master, teach us to pray, just 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 So He said to them, "When you pray, say, 'Father may Thy name be kept holy; let Thy Kingdom come;
uYesu akamwamula pano mukufunya mutisaghe, “Mutwa ilitavua lyako lyimikwaghe, uvwimike vwako vwisaghe.
3 give us day after day our bread for the day;
utupelaghe ifyakulia fiitu ifya jaatu.
4 and forgive us our sins, for we ourselves also forgive every one who fails in his duty to us; and bring us not into temptation.'"
utusaghilaghe inyivi siitu, ndavule najusue tukuvasaghila voni vano vatuhokile. nungalulongosiaghe munngelo”
5 And He said to them, "Which of you shall have a friend and shall go to him in the middle of the night and say, "'Friend, lend me three loaves of bread;
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 just come to my house from a distance, and I have nothing for him to eat'?
ulwakuva umanyani ghwango anyisile si sala sisisi kuhuma muvukyusi, najune nilinsila ikya kun'tengelela. nu
7 "And he from indoors shall answer, "'Do not pester me. The door is now barred, and I am here in bed with my children. I cannot get up and give you bread.'
ghwa mun'kate akamwamulagha akati uleke kunyangajisia, na june tughonile pa vulili. naningasisimuke nikupeele uve amakate.
8 "I tell you that even if he will not rise and give him the loaves because he is his friend, at any rate because of his persistency he will rouse himself and give him as many as he requires.
nikuvavula nambe naisisimuka kukumpela amakate ndavule umanyani ghwake, ulwakuva ijigha idindusia kisita soni isisimuka na kukumpela amakate minga ndavule vuno ilonda.
9 "So I say to you, 'Ask, and what you ask for shall be given to you; seek, and you shall find; knock, and the door shall be opened to you.'
najune nikuvavula musumaghe najumue mulapelua, mulondaaghe najumue mulafivona, muhodesyaghe najumue mulyadindulivua.
10 For every one who asks, receives; and he who seeks, finds; and to him who knocks, the door shall be opened.
ulwakuva ummunhu ghweni juno isuuma alyupila, nu muunhu ghweni juno ilonda ikufyagha. nu munhu ghweni juno ihodesia umulyango ilidindulivua.
11 And what father is there among you, who, if his son asks for a slice of bread, will offer him a stone? or if he asks for a fish, will instead of a fish offer him a snake?
ghwe baba juliku mu lyumue juno umwanake angasume iswi ikumpela injoka?
12 or if he asks for an egg, will offer him a scorpion?
kange nave angasuume ilikang'a ikumpela iking'omelivuli?
13 If you then, with all your human frailty, know how to give your children gifts that are good for them, how much more certainly will your Father who is 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 On once occasion He was expelling a dumb demon; and when the demon was gone out the dumb man could speak, and the people were astonished.
pambele uYesu alyale idaga ilipepo, umuunhu ynya lipepo alyale kinunu. ilipepo ye lihumile umuunhu jula akatengula kujova.
15 But some among them said, "It is by the power of Baal-zebul, the Prince of the demons, that he expels the demons."
neke avaanhu avange vakati, “uju ivusia amapepo mwa Belisebuli, ili vaha lya mapepo.
16 Others, to put Him to the test, asked Him for a sign in the sky.
avange vakamughelagha kuuti avasone ikivalilo kuhuma kukyanya.
17 And, knowing their thoughts, He said to them, "Every kingdom in which civil war rages goes to ruin: family attacks family and is overthrown.
neke uYesu akakagula amasaghe ghave akavavulagha, uvutwa vwovwoni vuno muligalung'ana vuliva vuvili, nu muunhu unya nyumba jino jigalungiine jilighua.
18 And if Satan really has engaged in fierce conflict with himself, how shall his kingdom stand?--because you say that I expel demons by the power of Baal-zebul.
nave uSetan iiva agalung'iine uvutwa vwake vukwimila ndani? ulwakuva mwiti nihumia amapepo mwa Belisebuli.
19 And if it is by the power of Baal-zebul that I expel the demons, by whom do your disciples expel them? They therefore shall 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 power of God that I drive out the demons, it is evident that the Kingdom of God has come upon you.
nave kange nihumia amapepo ni kyove ikya Nguluve, lino uvutwa vwa Nguluve vuvisile.
21 "Whenever a strong man, fully armed and equipped, is guarding his own castle, he enjoys peaceful possession of his property;
umuunhu umunya ngufu pano alinifilwilo ilolela inyumba jake, ifinu fyake viiva pavunofu.
22 but as soon as another stronger than he attacks him and overcomes him, he takes away that complete armour of his in which he trusted, and distributes the plunder he has collected.
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 whoever is not gathering with me is scattering abroad.
umwene juno na lubale lwango alikinsana nune, na juno naikong'ania palikimo nune ipalasania.
24 "When a foul spirit has left a man, it roams about in the Desert, seeking a resting-place; but, unable to find any, it says, 'I will return to the house I have left;"
ilipepo ililamafu likahuma kwa muunhu, iluta kulonda uvukalo uvusila malenga apuo apume. neke napakavonike, ijova iti, nigomoka kuno nikahumile.
25 and when it comes, it finds the house swept clean and in good order.
angagomoke nene ivoona inyumba jifyaghililue pejikale vunofu.
26 Then it goes and brings with it seven other spirits more malignant than itself, and they enter and dwell there; and in the end that man's condition becomes worse than it was at 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 He thus spoke a woman in the crowd called out in a loud voice, "Blessed is the mother who carried you, and the breasts that you have sucked."
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 "Nay rather," He replied, "they are blessed who hear God's Message and carefully keep it."
neke umwene akati, vafunyilue vala vano vipulika ilisio lya Nguluve na kukulivombela.
29 Now when the crowds came thronging upon Him, He proceeded to say, "The present generation is a wicked generation: it requires some sign, but no sign shall be given to it except that 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 just as Jonah became a sign to the men of Nineveh, so the Son of Man will be a token to the present generation.
ulwakuva ndavule u Yoona alyale kivalilo ku vaanhu va Ninaawi enendikio nu mwana ghwa Muunhu fye iliva kivalilo kya kisina iki.
31 The Queen of the South will awake at the Judgement together with the men of the present generation, and will condemn them; because she came from the extremity of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon; but mark! One greater than Solomon is here.
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 There will stand up men of Nineveh at the Judgement together with the present generation, and will condemn it; because they repented at the preaching of Jonah; and mark! One greater than Jonah is here.
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 "When any one lights a lamp, he never puts it in the cellar or under the bushel, but on the lampstand, that people who come 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 the eye. When your eyesight is good, your whole body also is lighted up; but when it is defective, your body 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 Consider therefore whether the light that is in you is anything but mere darkness.
pe lino mujilolelelaghe nu lumuli luno luli n'kate jinu nalungaponekesiaghe ing'iisi
36 If, however, your whole body is penetrated with light, and has no part dark, it will be so lighted, all of it, as when the lamp with its bright shining gives you light."
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 When He had thus spoken, a Pharisee invited Him to breakfast at his house; so He entered and took His place at table.
ye ati amalile pijova, uFalisayi akamughongola akalie ikyakulia ku nyumba jaake, uYesu akingila mu n'kate na kuuva palikimo navope. na
38 Now the Pharisee saw to his surprise that He did not wash His hands before breakfasting.
vasalisayi vakadegha ndavule nakanawile taasi ye kikyale ikyakulia ikya pakivwilile.
39 The Master however said to him, "Here we see how you Pharisees clean the outside of the cup or plate, while your secret hearts are full of greed and selfishness.
neke UMtwa akavavula, “umue vaFarisayi musuka kunji ifikombe ni bakuli, neke nkate jinu mumemile inoghelua nu vuhosi.
40 Foolish men! Did not He who made the outside make the inside also?
mwe vaanhu mwe vasila vukagusi, pe umwene juno alyavumbile kunji nalyavumbile mun'kate kange?
41 But as to what is within, give alms, and instantly all is clean in you.
muvapelaghe avakotofu fino fili mun'kate, ni mbombo sooni siiva nofu kulyumue.
42 "But alas for you Pharisees! for you pay tithes on your mint and rue and every kind of garden vegetable, and are indifferent to justice and the love of God. These are the things you ought to have attended to, while not neglecting the others.
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! for you love the best seats in the synagogues, and you like to be bowed to in places of public resort.
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! for you are like the tombs which lie hidden, and the people who walk over them are not aware of their existence."
iga umue, ulwakuva muling'ana ni mbiipa sino sisila fivalilo fino avaanhu vighenda mimbiipa isio kisila kukagula.
45 Hereupon one of the expounders of the Law exclaimed, "Rabbi, in saying such things you reproach us also."
umb'ulanisi jumonga ghwa ndaghilo sa Kiyahudi akamwamula na kukumb'ula, “m'bulanisi, kino ghujova kikutukalasia kange usue”.
46 "Alas too for you expounders of the Law!" replied Jesus, "for you load men with cumbrous burdens which you yourselves will not touch 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! for you repair the tombs of the Prophets, whom your forefathers killed.
iga umue, ulwakuva mujenga na kuvika ikumbukumbu mu mbiipa sa vavili' vano vakabudilue na vaghogholo vinu.
48 It follows that you bear testimony to the actions of your forefathers and that you fully approve thereof. They slew, you build.
neke umue mukufunyila na kukwiting'ana ni mbombo sino valyavombile avaghogholo vinu, ulwakuva kyang'ani valyavabudile avavili vano mujenga ikumbukumbu mumbiipa saave.
49 "For this reason also the Wisdom of God has said, 'I will send Prophets and Apostles to them, of whom they will kill some and persecute others,'
mu uluo kange, uvokoola vwa Nguluve vwiti, 'nikuvasung'ila avavili na vasung'ua vope vilikuvapumusia na kukuvabuda vamonga.
50 so that the blood of all the Prophets, that is being shed from the creation of the world onwards, may be required from the present generation.
ikisina iki kilihombela idanda ja vavili vano vabudilue kuhuma muvutengululo vwa iisi,
51 Yes, I tell you that, from the blood of Abel down to the blood of Zechariah who perished between the altar and the House, it shall all be required from the present generation.
kuhuma idanda ja Abeli kuhanga idanda ja Sakalia, juno alyabudilue pakate pa vwimike. Ena nikuvavula umue, ikisina iki kilhombela.
52 "Alas for you expounders of the Law! for you have taken away the key of knowledge: you yourselves have not entered, and those who wanted to enter you have hindered."
iga umue vavulanisi va ndaghilo sa vayahudi, ulwakuva mutolile ifungulo sa vukagusi; kange jumue namukwingila, ku vala vano vilonda kukwingila mukuvasigha.
53 After He had left the house, the Scribes and Pharisees commenced a vehement attempt to entangle Him and make Him give off-hand answers on numerous points,
pe baho uYesu akavuka pala, avalembi na vafalisayi vakampinga na kujofesania nu mwene mu nyinga.
54 lying in wait to catch some unguarded expression from His lips.
vakaghela kukuntanga ku masio ghake.
