Lukha 11
1 Gwahunule usikhiU Yisu upu eusayaga mwene, ukhongiyumo ambulile, “Itwa, utumanyisye ufwe ukhwisaya ndu Yohani umuavaama nyisye avakhongi vamwene.'
And as he was praying in a certain place, it occurred, that when he ceased, one of his disciples said to him: Our Lord, teach us to pray, as John also taught his disciples.
2 U Yisu akhavavula, vumukhisaya, 'Munjovage, 'Dada, ilitawa lyako limikhiwe. uvutwa wakho winchage.
Jesus said to them: When ye pray, thus speak ye: Our Father who art in heaven, hallow be thy name; thy kingdom come; thy pleasure be done, as in heaven, so on earth;
3 Utupinchage ikhisyesye kyitu ikya sikhu nchoni.
give us daily the bread we need;
4 Utusyiekhilage inogwa nchitu, ndavutukhuvasyikhila avange voni avatunangile. Utatuvikhaga indugelo.”
and remit to us our sins, for we also remit to all that are indebted to us; and bring us not into trials, but deliver us from evil.
5 U Yisu akhavavula, “Veni khulyumwe iva nu gane va mwene, uvikhunelutila pakhilo nu khubula ugane ukhuta unyanchime ifisyesye fidatu.
And he said to them: Which of you shall have a friend, that shall come to him at midnight and say to him, My friend, lend me three cakes;
6 Ukhuva umanyani vango anyinchile lino ukhuhuma khusafari, une nilinchila khinu ikya khupa.'
for a friend hath come to me from a journey, and I have nothing to set before him?
7 Nulu ungale igati akhanda, ulangata nchaga, undyango gufungiwe na vavana vango, tumalile ukhuluta gwigona saniwesye ukhusisinuka ne khupe uve ikhi syesye.
And his friend within shall answer, and say to him: Do not disturb me, for lo, the door is closed, and my children with me in bed; I cannot rise and give thee.
8 Nikhuvavula, ndave sisimkha nu khukhupa ikhisyesye ingave umanyani vakho ikwendelela ukhugonga khisita isoni, isisimukha nu khukhupa ifivungutikhilo inya khisyesye ukhuhwanana nu muvunogelwa uve.
I say to you: If he give him not, on account of friendship, yet on account of his importunity, he will arise and give him as much as he asketh.
9 Navyune nikhuvavula nita, wiwisayage, ayumwikwidikhiwa lomelaga yumwipata, hodenchaga ikhikhuvadintulila.
I say also to you: Ask, and it will be given you; seek, and ye will find; knock, and it will be opened to you.
10 Ulwakhuva umunu uviavenchaga angadovage vikhupa uviilonda ikhupilila, nu vikhohona vikhudindulila.
For every one that asketh, receiveth; and he that seeketh, findeth; and to him that knocketh, it is opened.
11 Veni udada mugati indyufwe umwana, angadove isomba ikhupa injokha?
For which of you being a father, if his son shall ask him for bread, will he reach to him a stone? Or, if he ask of him a fish, will he, instead of a fish, reach to him a serpent?
12 Angadove ilikhala ikhupa inge?
Or, if he ask of him an egg, will he reach to him a scorpion?
13 Lino, ulwakhuva umwe mlinuwwivu, mlumanyile ukhuvapa avana vinyu uluhovokhilo ulunonu, lino udada uvakhu kyanya syio fincho? Ukhuta ikhuvapa umepo umbalanche khu vala avikhudova?”
And if ye, 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 them that ask him?
14 Pu ugunge usikhi, u Yisu alikhu vinga khuminguluve, nu munu unyaminguluve nu nyamisetano akhava khitanchova. Ilisetano lyavile lihegile khumunu uyo, umunu uyo awesinche ukhunchova avanu vadegile fincho.
And as he was casting out a demon that was dumb, it occurred, that when the demon had gone out, the dumb man conversed: and the multitudes admired.
15 Avange vagelile wakhata uyu ihencha amanguluve aga Beelzebul, umbaha va mnguluve
But some of them said: It is by Beelzebub, the prince of demons, that he casteth out demons.
16 Avange vagelile nukhulondo avavonesyie ulugelo ukhuhuma khukyanya.
And others, to tempt him, asked of him a sign from heaven.
17 Pu u Yisu agamanyile amasago gaaaavene nukhuvavu, “Uvutwa uvuyakhiva vugava yumwa wene, ne khya yiyo yigavile yuyigwa.
But Jesus, as he knew their thoughts, said to them: Every kingdom that is divided against itself, will become a desolation: and a house that is divided against itself, will fall.
18 Ingave undugu usetano iva agevile, uvutwa wamwene ayuvukwima ndakhikhi? Ulwakhuva mwinchova, mwita ncheucha amanguluve aga Belzebuli
And if Satan be divided against himself, how will his kingdom stand? since ye say, that I by Beelzebub cast out demons.
19 Ingave une nihencha amanguluve ga Beelzebuli, lino avanyinyo vihencha amanguluve khu nchila yilikhu? ulwakhuva iyi, avene yuvikhu vahiga umwe
And if I, by Beelzebub, cast out demons, by whom do your sons cast them out? Therefore will they be to you judges.
20 Lino, umwe ingave muhencha amanguluve khu khivokho kya Nguluve, pu uvutwa wa Nguluve vuvinchile.
But if I, by the finger of God, cast out demons, the kingdom of God hath come near to you.
21 Umunu uvyalinamakha alinifilwilo ifyakhulolela uvunjenge wa mwene, ikyuma ni finu fitaneavunonu.
When a strong man armed keepeth his doorway, his property rests securely.
22 Lino vangavamile umunu unyamakha ukhulutilila, nu munu uvya linamakha angapokhe ifilwilo vyamwene, nu khutola ikyuma kyamwene kyoni.
But if a stronger than he come and overpower him, he taketh away all his arms on which he relied, and divideth the spoil of him.
23 Umwene uvialikhutali nune hange, khusana khulyune nu khusitaukhulundanya paniye une niyevaniya.
He that is not for me, is against me; and he that gathereth not with me, actually scattereth.
24 Amanguluve amavivi agagihuma khumunu, gagiluta nu khulonda baho amagasi pungale nu khukhekha. Upuyakhiva awene alemilwe, pu inchova, ninogwa ukhukhilivusukho ukhunahumile.
An unclean spirit, when he goeth out of a man, goeth wandering in places where no water is, in order to find rest; and, as he cannot find it he saith: I will return to my habitation, from which I came.
25 Angavuye nu khuvona uvunjenge wa mwene, vukhuniwe nu khutama vunonu.
And when he cometh, he findeth it swept clean and set in order.
26 Lino puiluta khulonda amanguluve 7 avavivi ukhulutilila umwene nu khuvagega vatame upualipo. Nu munu numunu uyo iviva nu vupala fincho, ukhulutilila.”
Then he goeth and taketh seven other spirits, worse than himself, and they enter in and dwell there; and the last state of that man is worse than the first.
27 Wahumile ukhunchova amamenyu ago udala yumo ahuminche ilimenyu khuvukhali, ukhulutilila khuvoni khululundamano ulwa vanu nu khunchova,
And while he was saying these things, a certain woman from the crowd, lifted up her voice, and said to him: Blessed is the womb that carried thee, and the breasts that nursed thee.
28 “Ligatalufu ilitumbu ililyakhu holilene livele iliwaohile” Umwene akhanchova akhata vasayiwe avavipulikha ilimenyu lwa Nguluve nu khulivika vunonu.
He said to her: Blessed are they who hear the word of God, and keep it.
29 Pu usikhi ugwa vanuvuvikhindamaniya nu kwongesekha, u Yisu akhatengula ukhunchova “Ikhivumbukho ikhi ikhivumbukho vuvivi, khilonda khuvonesya nu khuta khisikhuli ikya khuvonesya ikhivapatile ukhulutilila nu Yona
And when multitudes were assembled, he began to say: This evil generation seeketh a sign; and no sign will be given it, but the sign of Jonah the prophet.
30 Uvunonu nu Yona upuale nu khuvanesya khu vanu ava khu Ninawi, vuyayiva nu mwana va Adamu uvuyakhivaiva ukhuvonesya khu khisasi ikhi
For as Jonah was a sign to the Ninevites, so also will the Son of man be a sign to this generation.
31 U Malkia vakhu kusini ayikwima ikhigano ikya vuhigi na vanu ava khisasi ikhi nu khuvahiga avene ilwakhuva avene vahumile khu vumalilo wa khilunga ukhuta inche apulihinche uvuelwada uva Solomoni, na apo pwale uviale imbaha ukhulutilila.
The queen of the south will stand up in the judgment with the men of this generation, and will condemn them; for she came from the other side of the earth, to hear the wisdom of Solomon, and lo, one superior to Solomon is here.
32 Avanu va khu Ninawi ayuvikwima khu vuhigi, ulwakhuva va khuti uvusiyiekhilo uva limenyu ilya Yona nu khulola, apa khwale umbaha, ukhulutilila u Yona.
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 lo, one superior to Jonah is here.
33 Asikhuli umunu avavenchaga uvikhunga ikhoroboi nu khuvikha pasi pa hisi yilekhe ukhuvone kha pasi pa khitunda, umwene ikhunga nu khuvikha pa kyanya pa khunu ukhuta umunu nu munu uvikwingila aluvonage ulumuli.
No one lighteth a lamp, and putteth it in a secret place, or under a bushel, but upon a light-stand; that they who come in, may see its light.
34 Iliho lyakho lumuli lwa mbili gwakho iliho ligave linonu nu mbili gwiva inonu gwiva ndumuli.
The lamp of thy body is thy eye. Therefore, when thy eye is sound, thy whole body will be enlightened; but if it be bad, thy body also will be dark.
35 Lino iliho lyakho lingawe liva liviviv numbili gwiva imbivi gwoni gwiva muhisi. Lino mwilolelaga, ukhuta ulumuli lulwa lulimugati indyumwe lulekhe ukhuvikhiwa ihisi.
See to it, therefore, lest the light that is in thee, be darkness.
36 Lino valume ingave, umbili gwakho gwoni guli mundumuli pu khusikhuli ukhuva muhisi, pu khukhuta umbili gwakho gu hwanana ne khorobui iyikhwakha nu khuhumya ulumuli khulyumwe.”
For if thy whole body be enlightened, and no part in it be dark, the whole will be luminous, as if a lamp enlightened thee by its radiance.
37 Avile amalile ukhunejova, Farisayo adovile akhale ikyakhulya khukya ya mwene. Nu U Yisu akhungila mgati nu khuva pa nuye numwene.
And while he was speaking, a certain Pharisee requested him to dine with him: and he went in, and reclined.
38 Na Vafarisayo vakhaswiga ukhuva sakhalave amavokho vusategwile ukhulya ikyakhulya ikhya khukhimihe.
And the Pharisee noticing him, wondered that he did not previously baptize before dinner.
39 Pu khuludeva akhavavula, “Umwemwi Vafarisayo mwisukha ifikhombe khunchi ne bakhuli, humbe mugati indyumwe mudigile unogwe uvuvi.
And Jesus said to him: Now ye Pharisees make clean the exterior of the cup and the dish; but your interior is full of extortion and wickedness.
40 Umwe mwi vanu yumwe munchila khulumanya, ingave uviapelile khunchi lino sa pele na gati?
Ye deficient in understanding! did not he who made the exterior, make also the interior?
41 Vapinchage avaganju agagati ni mbombo nchoni nchiva nonu khulyamwe.
But, give ye alms from what ye possess; and lo, every thing will be clean to you.
42 Lino mwilolilage Vafarisayo, ukhuta muhumya isadaka iya mnanaa nu chicha ni kyavenchago ukhuhuma khukyalo. Pu umwe mugalekhile agavuyilweli nu khubela agaNguluve. Lunonu fincho ukhuvomba agavuyelweli nu khugana u Nguluve, khista khuvomba ago.
But woe to you, Pharisees! for ye tithe mint and rue, and every pot-herb; but pass over justice and the love of God. Now ye ought to do these things, and not to omit those.
43 Mwikyole mwiVafarisayo ukhuva mwinogwa ukhutama mufigoda ifya khuvulongolo khu masinagogi nu khukhuponya ukhufugamo.
Woe to you, Pharisees! who love the chief seats in the synagogues, and a salutation in the streets.
44 Mwilolelage mukwanana na mapuvuba aganchila khimanyilo kya munu pe avanu vigenda pa kyanya khista khulunya.”
Woe to you, Scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye are like graves that are unknown, and men walk over them and do not know it.
45 Umanyisi yamo uva ndagilo incha vayahudi akhanda nu khuvavula, “Imanyisi, ikhiwinchova khikhutukhalanja nayufwe.”
And one of the Scribes replied, and said to him: Teacher, while saying these things, thou reproachest us also.
46 U Yisu akhanchova, “Mwilolelage, indagilo ulwakhuva mukhuvapa avanu iminchigo imivaha igisaviwesye ukhwitwikha, lino umwe samu palamasya iminchigo igyo vulevule ukhutwanana mekhi melelenchi ikya mavokho gito.
And he said: Woe to you also! ye Scribes, who lade men with heavy burdens; yet ye yourselves will not touch those burdens with one of your fingers
47 Mwilolelage ulwakhuva mujenga nukhuvikha ikhi khumbuhincha khu khumapumba agavanyamalago avuvabudiwe na vakhukhu vito.
Woe to you! who build the sepulchres of the prophets, whom your fathers slew.
48 Lino numwe mukhwidikiwa nu khwidikha khumbombo inchivavobile avakhukhu vito ulwakhuva vavabudile avanyamalago kya mapumba gavene.
Thus ye testify, that ye acquiesce in the deeds of your fathers; for they slew them, and ye build their sepulchres.
49 Ulwakhuva khuvunonu uwa Nguluve inchova ita, “Nikhuvasuhila avanyamalago na valumbeleli avene vikhuvatesya nnu khuvabuda avange.
Therefore hath wisdom said: Lo, I will send to them prophets and legates; and some of them they will persecute and slay;
50 Ikhivumbukhu ikhi yukhivomba khukhisa ugwa vanyamalago avuvabudiwe ukhuhuma pavutengulilo wa khilunga,
that from this generation may be required, the blood of all the prophets, which hath been shed since the world was created;
51 Ukhuhuma ukhisa gwa Abeli nukhisa ugwa Zakaria, uviabudiwe pagati pa khitekhela pa vuvalanche. Lweli, ni khuvavula umwe, mwe vakhivumbukho ikhi ayukhivomba.
from the blood of Abel, to the blood of Zachariah who was slain between the temple and the altar. Yea, say I to you: It will be required of this generation.
52 Mwilolelage mwi vamanyisi va ndagilo incha khiyahudi, ulwakhuva mtolile indindulilo incha vutwa, nu mwe samukhwingila, na vavinogwa ukhwingela, mukhuvakhilwala.”
Woe to you, Scribes; for ye have taken away the keys of knowledge: ye yourselves enter not, and them that are entering ye hinder.
53 Usikhi u Yisu ugwa khuhega pala, avavigi na Mafarisayo vabelile nu khugatanchiwa nu khuhigiwa, khu mbombo inyingi.
And when he had said these things to them, the Scribes and Pharisees began to be offended, and became angry, and carped at his discourses,
54 Vagelile ukhumwibeta khumamenyu ga mwene.
and practised many wiles upon him, seeking to catch some thing from his lips, that they might accuse him.
