Luka 11
1 Akatungu kamwi Yesu aliga nasabhwa, oumwi wa abheigisibhwa bhaye namubhwila ati, “Lata Bhugenyi nuchiigishe okusabhwa lwakutyo Yoana eigisishe abheigisibhwa bhaye.”
It happened, that 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."
2 Yesu nabhabhwila, Mukabha nimusabhwa, mwaike, “Lata, Lisina lyao likusibhwe. Obhukama bhwa bhuje.
So he said to them, "When you pray, say, 'Our Father in heaven, holy be your name. May your kingdom come. May your will be done on earth, as it is in heaven.
3 Uchiyane ebhilyo bhyeswe ebhya bhuli lunaku.
Give us day by day our daily bread.
4 Uchisasile obhunyamuke bhweswe, lwakutyo eswe ona echisasila bhona bhanu abhachiyabhila. Waisiga okuchisindika chikaga mumasakwa.”
And forgive us our sins, for we also forgive everyone indebted to us. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil.'"
5 Yesu nabhabhwila ati, “Niga kwimwe oyo ali no omusani, namujako ingeta, namubhwila, 'musani nuunsakile emikate esatu.
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,
6 Kulwokubha omusani wani akinga olyanu okusoka lugendo, kanye nitanachakumulisha.'
for a friend of mine has come to me from a journey, and I have nothing to set before him,'
7 Mbe kaunu ali munyumba namusubhya ati, siga kunyasha, negaye omulyango, anye na abhana bhani chamamile kubhulili. Nitakutula kwimuka nokukuyana emikate.
and he from within will answer and say, 'Do not bother me. The door is now shut, and my children are with me in bed. I cannot get up and give it to you'?
8 Mbe enibhabhwila ati nolwo akabhula okwimuka akuyane emikate awe omusani waye, kulwokubha ousinyilisha okumukononela utananswalo, kemuka nakuyana ebhibhala bhyafu ebhye emikate okwinganya na kutyo wamusabhilwe.
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.
9 Mbe anyone enibhabhwila ati, “Musabhwe, omuja okubhona, mulonde omuja okubhona, mukonone kumulyango omuja okwigulilwa.
"I tell you, ask, and it will be given to you. Seek, and you will find. Knock, and it will be opened to you.
10 Kulwokubha bhuli munu unu kasabhwa kayanwa, na unu kalonda kabhona, na unu kakonona, abhamwigulila omulyango.
For everyone who asks receives. He who seeks finds. To him who knocks it will be opened.
11 Ali omwibhusi wa kutiki agati yemwe, unu omwana waye kasabhwa inswi ko omwene namuyana namuyana injoka?
"Which of you fathers, if your son asks for a fish, he won't give him a snake instead of a fish, will he?
12 Amo nasabhwa liuli ko omwene namuyana inge?
Or if he asks for an egg, will give him a scorpion?
13 Kulwejo kalabha emwe munyamukile no omumenya okuyana abhana bhemwe ebhiyanwa bhekisi, mbe Esomwana wemwe wa mulwire atabhakila okubha kasosha Mwoyo Mweru kubhanu abhamusabhwa?”
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?"
14 Namala Yesu nagonya lisambwa linu lyaliga litakuloma kumunu, lyejile lyamusokako omunu oyo nabhona obhutulo bhwo okuloma. Abhanu ni bhalugula muno.
He was casting out a demon, and it was mute. It happened, when the demon had gone out, the mute man spoke; and the crowds were amazed.
15 Nawe abhanu bhandi nibhaika ati unu kabhilimya amasambwa kwa Belejebhuli, likulu lya amasambwa.
But some of them said, "He casts out demons by Beelzebul, the prince of the demons."
16 Abhandi nibhamulegeja nibhenda abholeshe echimenyegesho okuoka mulwire.
Others, testing him, sought from him a sign from heaven.
17 Nawe Yesu namenya ameganilisho gebhwe nabhabhwila ati, “Obhukama bhunu obhwitaganyisha obhwene obhunyalambuka na inyumba inu eitagana eigwa.
But he, knowing their thoughts, said to them, "Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation. A house divided against itself falls.
18 Labha Shetani akabha wokutagana tagana, obhukama bhwaye obhwimelegulu kutiki? Kulwokubha omwaika ati enibhilimya amasambwa kulwa Belejebhuli.
If Satan also is divided against himself, how will his kingdom stand? For you say that I cast out demons by Beelzebul.
19 Labha enigasoshako kulwa Belejebhuli, abhejanyu abhagabhilimya kwa njila ya kutiki? Kulwa injuno eyo, abhaja okubhalamula.
But if I cast out demons by Beelzebul, by whom do your children cast them out? Therefore will they be your judges.
20 Nawe labha enibhilimya amasambwa kwa amanaga ga Nyamuanga, mbe obhukama bhwa Nyamuanga bhwabhakingileko.
But if I by the finger of God cast out demons, then the Kingdom of God has come to you.
21 Omunu wamanaga ali nechigwato akalinda inyumba yaye, ebhinu bhaye ebhibha bhikobhele.
"When the strong man, fully armed, guards his own dwelling, his goods are safe.
22 Nawe akengililwa no omunu wa amanaga amukilile, owamanaga kamusakula ebhigwato bhaye, namala nagega ebhinu bhaye bhona.
But when someone stronger attacks him and overcomes him, he takes from him his whole armor in which he trusted, and divides up his plunder.
23 Mbe unu ataliamwi nanye oyo chitasikene, na unu atakusolosha amwi anye kanyalambula.
"He that is not with me is against me. He who does not gather with me scatters.
24 Lisambwa libhibhi likasoka kumunu, eligenda okulonda ao gatali manji koleleki lifung'ame. Likabhulwanowokuja, elyaika ati, 'Enisubha eyo nasokele.
The unclean spirit, when he has gone out of the person, passes through dry places, seeking rest, and finding none, he says, 'I will turn back to my house from which I came out.'
25 Likasubha, nilisanga inyumba ikukumbilwe na okondele.
When he returns, he finds it swept and put in order.
26 Kulwejo eligenda okulonda amasambwa agandi musanju amabhibhi muno okukila elyene niligaleta gaje okwikala omwo. Mbe akekaliye ko omunu oyo akabha kabhibhi muno kukila kutyo aliga ali kubhwambilo.”
Then he goes, and takes seven other spirits more evil than himself, and they enter in and dwell there. The last state of that person becomes worse than the first."
27 Mbe nijibha kutya aliga achaika emisango ejo, omugasi umwi asosishe obhulaka bhulela agati ya liijo naika ati, “Inda inu yakwibhuye na amabhele ganu wanenele gana libando.”
It came to pass, as he said these things, a certain woman out of the crowd lifted up her voice, and said to him, "Blessed is the womb that bore you, and the breasts which nursed you."
28 Nawe omwene nasubhya ati, “Bhanu bhali na amabhando ni bhanu abhongwa nonokugwata omusango gwa Nyamuanga.”
But he said, "On the contrary, blessed are those who hear the word of God, and keep it."
29 Lyejile liijo lya abhanu lyekofyanya nokwiyongesha, Yesu namba okwaika ati, “Olwibhulo lunu nilunyamuke. Olulonda echimenyegesho, na chitalio echimenyegesho chinu bhaliyabhwa lindi tali chilya echa Yona.
When the crowds were gathering together to him, he began to say, "This generation is an evil generation. It seeks after a sign. No sign will be given to it but the sign of Jonah.
30 Kunsonga lwakutyo Yona abhee chimenyegesho kubha Ninawi, nikwo no Omwana wa Adamu alibha chimenyegesho ku lwibhulo lunu.
For even as Jonah became a sign to the Ninevites, so will also the Son of Man be to this generation.
31 Olunaku lwa indamu Omugole wa mumalimbe alimelegulu no olwibhulo lunu nalulamula (nalutemela echina), kulwokubha omwene asokele kubhutelo bhwe echalo koleleki aje ategeleshe ombhwengeso bhwa Selemani, kanu alio unu akuliye Selemani.
The Queen of the South will rise up in the judgment with the people of this generation, and will condemn them: for she came from a distant land to hear the wisdom of Solomon; and look, one greater than Solomon is here.
32 Abhanu bha Ninawi bhalimelegulu ingulu kulunaku olwa indamu nibhalwaika kubhibhi olwibhulo lunu! Kulwokubha Abhaninawi bhatee ebhibhi bhejile bhongwa omusango gwa Yona, mbe lola, anu alio unu akuliye Yona.
The people of Nineveh will stand up in the judgment with this generation, and will condemn it: for they repented at the preaching of Jonah, and look, one greater than Jonah is here.
33 Atalio omunu wonawona unu kasha itala naitula emwalo muchisute amo emwalo ye echikapo, tali kasha naitula ingulu ye echinu koleleki bhuli munu unu kengila alole obhwelu. Eliso lyao ni tala yo mubhili gwao.
"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.
34 Eliso lyao likabha lilikisi omubhili gao ogubha guli mu bwelu. Nawe eliso lyao likabha linyamukile mbe omubhili gwao ogubha guli muchisute.
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 bad, your body also is full of darkness.
35 Kulwejo mwikenge koleleki obhwelu bhunu bhuli Munda yemwe bhutajamo echisute.
Therefore see whether the light that is in you is not darkness.
36 Kulwejo, labha omubhili gwao gwona guli mubhwelu, na litalio ebhala linu lili muchisute, mbe omubhili gwao ogubha gwingene na itala inu eyaka no okusosha obhwelu kwemwe
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."
37 Ejile amala okwaika, Omufarisayo namukumilila alye ebhilyo ika ewaye, Yesu nengila munyumba neyanja age.
Now as he spoke, a Pharisee asked him to dine with him. He went in, and sat at the table.
38 Mbe Abhafarisayo nibhalugula okuloa nalya ebhilyo bhya kegolo atesabhile
When the Pharisee saw it, he was surprised that he had not first washed himself before dinner.
39 Nawe Lata Bugenyi nabhabhwila ati, “Emwe Abhafarisayo omwosha anja ye ebhikombe na amabhakuli, nawe munda yemwe mwijuye omululu no obhunyamuke.
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.
40 Emwe bhanu mutali na bhumenyi, Unu yangile anja atayangile na munda?
You foolish ones, did not he who made the outside make the inside also?
41 Muyane abhataka ganu gali munda, amagambo gona nigabha makonde kwemwe.
But give for gifts to the needy those things which are within, and see, all things will be clean to you.
42 Nawe Jilibhabhona emwe Abhafarisayo, kulwokubha omusosha imwi kwi kumi eyo mubhabhayi no omuchicha na bhuli luganda lwe emikubhi ja mumugunda. Nawe musigile emisango jo obhulengelesi no okwenda Nyamuanga, Nijakisi muno okukola ago obhulengelesi no okwenda Nyamuanga, no obhutasiga okukola agandi ago gona.
But woe to you Pharisees. For you tithe mint and rue and every herb, but you bypass justice and the love of God. You ought to have done these, and not to have left the other undone.
43 Ejibhabhona Abhafarisayo, kulwokubha omwenda okwiyanja kubhitebhe bhya imbele mumasinagogi nokulamila jinkesha eje chibhalo mumagulilo.
Woe to you Pharisees. For you love the best seats in the synagogues, and the greetings in the marketplaces.
44 Ejibhabhona, kulwokubha omususana ne ebhitulo bhinu bhitali na chibhalikisho bhinu abhanu abhatajako ingulu obhutamenya.”
Woe to you. For you are like hidden graves, and the people who walk over them do not know it."
45 Omwiigisha umwi we ebhilagilo bhye Echiyaudi namusubhya no okumubhwila ati, “Mwiigisha, echo owaika echichinyola eswe ona.”
One of the Law scholars answered him, "Teacher, in saying this you insult us also."
46 Yesu naika ati, “Ejibhabhona, abheigisha bhe ebhilagilo! Kulwokubha omubhatwika emijigo misito jinu bhatakutula kwitika, nawe emwe silisili mutajikunyako emijigo ejo nolwo ku chimwi che ebhyala bhyemwe.
He said, "Woe to you Law scholars also. For you load people with burdens that are difficult to carry, and you yourselves won't even lift one finger to help carry those burdens.
47 Ejibhabhona, kulwokubha omumbaka nokutulako ebhijukisho ku bhitulo bhya abhalagi bhanu bhetilwe nabha jaji bhemwe.
Woe to you. For you build the tombs of the prophets, and your fathers killed them.
48 Kulwejo emwe ona omwikilishanya ne emilimu jinu jakolelwe na bhajaji bhemwe, kulwokubha nichimali bhetile abhalagi bhanu omumbakila ebhijukisho kubhitulo bhyebhwe.
So you are witnesses and consent to the works of your fathers. For they killed them, and you build their tombs.
49 Kulwa injuno eyo ona, obhwengeso bhwa Nyamuanga obhwaika ati, 'Enibhatumila abhalagi na jintumwa ona bhalibhanyasha no okwitako abhandi.
Therefore also the wisdom of God said, 'I will send to them prophets and apostles; and some of them they will kill and persecute,
50 Olwibhulo lunu lulibhusibhwa ingulu ya abhalagi bhanu bhetilwe okwambila kubhwambilo bhwe echalo,
that the blood of all the prophets, which was shed from the foundation of the world, may be required of this generation;
51 okusokelela kumanyinga ga Abeli okukinga ku manyinga ga Zakaria, unu etilwe agati na agati ya amajabhau na kubhweru. Yee, Enibhabhwila emwe, olwibhulo lunu lulibhusibhwa ingulu yejo jona.
from the blood of Abel to the blood of Zechariah, who perished between the altar and the sanctuary.' Yes, I tell you, it will be required of this generation.
52 Jilibhabhona emwe abheigisha bhe ebhilagilo bhya Abhayaudi, kulwokubha mugegele jinfungulujo ja kubhwenge; emwe abhene mutakwingila, na muganyishe bhanu bhaliga nibhengila.”
Woe to you Law scholars. For you took away the key of knowledge. You did not enter in yourselves, and those who were entering in, you hindered."
53 Yesu ejile amala okusoka ao, Abhandiki na Abhafarisayo bhamulemele nibhayakana nage ingulu ye emisango myafu.
And when he left there, the scribes and the Pharisees began to oppose him bitterly, and to provoke him to speak about many things;
54 Nibhalegeja okumugwatisha na amagambo gaye.
lying in wait for him, seeking to catch him in something he might say, that they might accuse him.
