< Luke 11 >
1 When he finished praying in a certain place, one of his disciples said to him, “Lord, teach us to pray, just 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 He said to them, “When you pray, say, ‘Our Father in heaven, may your name be kept holy. May your Kingdom come. May your will be done on earth, as it is in heaven.
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 Forgive us our sins, for we ourselves also forgive everyone who is indebted to us. Bring us not into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one.’”
Gutulekiziyi vidoda vyetu, Mana twenga tuwalekeziya woseri yawatutenditi upyota. Pota nagututula mukujerwa.’”
5 He said to them, “Which of you, if you go to a friend at midnight and tell him, ‘Friend, lend me three loaves of bread,
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 has 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 will answer and say, ‘Don’t bother me. The door is now shut, and my children are with me in bed. I can’t get up and give it to you’?
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 tell you, although he will not rise and give it to him because he is his friend, yet because of his persistence, he will get up and give him as many as he needs.
Nakaka nankuwagambirani, ata pakalema kwimuka na kukupanani mabumunda toziya gwenga gwa ganja gwakuwi, kumbiti pagwendereya kumgaziya kwa kumluwa hakimuki na kukupanana shoseri shagufira.
9 “I tell you, keep asking, and it will be given you. Keep seeking, and you will find. Keep knocking, and it will be opened to you.
“Su nankuwagambira, guluwi na hampananwi, gusakuli na haguwoni, gutendi hodi na hamvugulirwi.
10 For everyone who asks receives. He who seeks finds. To him who knocks it will be opened.
Mana woseri yawaluwa hawapananwi na woseri yawasakula, hawawoni na mlyangu haguvugulwi kwa kila muntu yakatenda hodi.
11 “Which of you fathers, if your son asks for bread, will give him a stone? Or if he asks for a fish, he won’t give him a snake instead of a fish, will he?
Mwana pakamluwa tati gwakuwi somba, hashi hakampanani njoka badala ya somba?
12 Or if he asks for an egg, he won’t give him a scorpion, will he?
Na pakamluwa ligi, hakampanani shipinini?
13 If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to those who 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 He was casting out a demon, and it was mute. When the demon had gone out, the mute man spoke; 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, “He casts out demons by Beelzebul, the prince of the demons.”
kumbiti wantu wamu mulipinga lilii walonga, “Belizebuli, mkulu gwa washamshera ndo yakampananiti makakala ga kuwalaviya washamshera.”
16 Others, testing him, sought from 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 to them, “Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation. A house divided against itself falls.
Kumbiti Yesu kavimaniti kala shawalihola, su kawagambira, “Ufalumi woseri waubagulika weni vipinga vipinga vyavisingana vyeni hapeni vilikali, kaya payibagulika yeni mpaka iyagamili.
18 If Satan also is divided against himself, how will his kingdom stand? For you say that I cast out demons by Beelzebul.
Su handa ufalumi wa Shetani pawuwera muvipinga na pawalikoma weni, hawuendereyi hashi? Mlonga kuwera ndaviya washamshera toziya Belizebuli kanupiti makakala ga kutenda aga,
19 But if I cast out demons by Beelzebul, by whom do your children cast them out? Therefore they will 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 God’s finger cast out demons, then God’s Kingdom has come to 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, guards his own dwelling, his goods are safe.
“Muntu kana makakala pakawera na silaha zoseri, pakalolera numba yakuwi mweni, vyoseri vyakaweriti navi haviweri salama.
22 But when someone stronger attacks him and overcomes him, he takes from him his whole armor in which he trusted, and divides his plunder.
Kumbiti pakiza muntu kana makakala kuliku yomberi pakamkoma na kumsinda, hakatoli silaha zoseri zakalitumbiriti muntu ulii na kugawana ulunda wakuwi.
23 “He who is not with me is against me. He who doesn’t gather with me scatters.
“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 has gone out of the man, passes through dry places, seeking rest; and finding none, he says, ‘I will turn back to my house from which I came out.’
“Shamshera pakawingwa kulawa kwa muntu, kayerayera mlaa mushiwala pakasakula pakwoyera. Pakapata ndiri pakwoyera, kalitakuziya mweni, ‘Hambuyi kunumba kwangu kwandawiti.’
25 When he returns, he finds it swept and put in order.
Pakawuya na kwona numba ilii wayifyagira na kuyiherepiziya.
26 Then he goes and takes seven other spirits more evil than himself, and they enter in and dwell there. The last state of that man becomes 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 It came to pass, as he said these things, a certain woman out of the multitude lifted up her voice and said to him, “Blessed is the womb that bore you, and the breasts which nursed you!”
Yesu pakaweriti kankutakula hangu, mdala yumu kulawa mulipinga lya wantu kamgambira, “Mbaka mdala yakakuleriti na kukunoniziya!”
28 But he said, “On the contrary, blessed are those who hear the word of God, and keep it.”
Kumbiti Yesu kamwankula, “Mbaka nentu kwa walii yawapikanira shisoweru sha Mlungu na kushijimira”
29 When the multitudes were gathering together to him, he began to say, “This is an evil generation. It seeks after a sign. No sign will be given to it but the sign of Jonah the prophet.
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 to the Ninevites, so the Son of Man will also 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 will rise up in the judgment with the men of this generation and will condemn them, for she came from the ends of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon; and behold, one 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 will stand up in the judgment with this generation, and will condemn it, for they repented at the preaching of Jonah; and behold, one 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 one, when he has lit a lamp, puts it in a cellar or under a basket, but on a stand, that those who come 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 the body is the eye. Therefore when your eye is good, your whole body is also full of light; but when it is evil, your 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 Therefore see whether the light that is in you isn’t darkness.
Su gwikali weri, gulangala gwaguweriti mngati mwaku naguwera luwindu.
36 If therefore your whole body is full of light, having no part dark, it will be wholly full of light, as when the lamp with its bright shining gives you 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 spoke, a certain Pharisee asked him to dine with him. He went in and sat at the table.
Yesu pakamaliriti kulonga, Mfalisayu yumu kamshemeriti ukaya kwakuwi waliyi shiboga pamuhera, su Yesu kagenditi na kulivaga kuliya shiboga.
38 When the Pharisee saw it, he marveled that he had not first washed himself before dinner.
Mafalisayu walikangasha pawamwoniti kankuliya shiboga pota kugulula huti mawoku.
39 The Lord said to him, “Now you 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 You foolish ones, didn’t he who made the outside make the inside also?
Mwawazyigizyigi mwenga! Mlungu ndo yakanyawiti kunja, kayi kanyawiti mngati.
41 But give for gifts to the needy those things which are within, and behold, all things will be clean to you.
Kumbiti muwayupi wahushu shilii shashiweriti muvikombi na musahani na kila shintu hashiweri shiherepa kwa mwenga.
42 But woe to you Pharisees! For you tithe mint and rue and every herb, but you bypass justice and God’s love. You ought to have done these, and not to have left 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 to you Pharisees! For you love the best seats in the synagogues and the greetings in the marketplaces.
“Shondi mwenga Mafalisayu! Mfira kulivaga palongolu pawapapanana ligoya munumba za Mlungu na kukulamsiyani kwa ligoya pahala pa soku.
44 Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you are like hidden graves, and the men who walk over them don’t know it.”
Shondi mwenga! Toziya mulifana na mapumba yagalififa, wantu pawagendagenda kunani kwakuwi pota na kuvimana.”
45 One of the lawyers answered him, “Teacher, in saying this you insult us also.”
Yumu gwa Wafunda wa Malagaliru kamgambira, “Mfunda, pagutakuliti hangu, gutuhigilanga na twenga vilavi.”
46 He said, “Woe to you lawyers also! For you load men with burdens that are difficult to carry, and you yourselves won’t even lift one finger to help carry those burdens.
Yesu kamwankula, “Shondi mwenga wafunda wa Malagaliru! Muwatwika wantu visanka vipapika ndiri, kumbiti mwaweni mwenga muweza ndiri ata kwa shala kuwatanga.
47 Woe to you! For you 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 you testify and consent to the works of your fathers. For they killed them, and you build their tombs.
Su mgapitawulira na kugajimira galii gawatenditi wazewi wenu, wawalagiti wambuyi wa Mlungu, na mwenga mugajengera mapumba gawu.
49 Therefore also the wisdom of God said, ‘I will send to them prophets and apostles; and some of them they will 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 to the blood of Zachariah, who perished between the altar and the sanctuary.’ Yes, I tell you, it will 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 to you lawyers! For you took away the key of knowledge. You didn’t enter in yourselves, and those who were entering in, you 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 As he said these things to them, the scribes and the Pharisees began to be terribly angry, and to draw many things out of him,
Pakaweriti kankuwuka palii, wafunda wa Malagaliru pamuhera na Mafalisayu wanjiti kumgambira pawambeziya nentu na kumkosiya kwajili ya vintu vivuwa,
54 lying in wait for him, and seeking to catch him in something he might say, that they might accuse him.
pawajera kumgomiziya pakatakula shintu shipayira su wapati pakumbatira.
