Lukka 11
1 Awo olwatuuka Yesu ng’ali mu kifo ekimu ng’asaba, bwe yamaliriza, omu ku bayigirizwa be n’amugamba nti, “Mukama waffe, naawe tuyigirize okusaba nga Yokaana bwe yayigiriza abayigirizwa be.”
And it came to pass, that, as he was praying in a certain place, when he ceased, one of his disciples said unto him, Lord, teach us to pray, as John also taught his disciples.
2 N’abagamba nti, “Bwe mubanga musaba mugambanga nti, “‘Kitaffe, Erinnya lyo litukuzibwe, obwakabaka bwo bujje.
And he said unto them, When ye pray, say, Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done, as in heaven, so in earth.
3 Otuwenga buli lunaku emmere yaffe ey’olunaku.
Give us day by day our daily bread.
4 Era otusonyiwe ebyonoono byaffe, nga naffe bwe tusonyiwa abatukolako ebisobyo. So totutwala mu kukemebwa.’”
And forgive us our sins; for we also forgive every one that is indebted to us. And lead us not into temptation; but deliver us from evil.
5 Ate n’abagamba nti, “Singa omu ku mmwe alina mukwano gwe, n’ajja gy’ali ekiro mu ttumbi n’amugamba nti, ‘Mukwano gwange, nkusaba ompoleyo emigaati esatu,
And he said unto them, Which of you shall have a friend, and shall go unto him at midnight, and say unto him, Friend, lend me three loaves;
6 kubanga nfunye omugenyi, mukwano gwange avudde lugendo, naye sirina kyakulya kya kumuwa.’”
For a friend of mine in his journey is come to me, and I have nothing to set before him?
7 “Oli ali munda mu nju bw’ayanukula nti, ‘Tonteganya. Twasibyewo dda, ffenna n’abaana bange twebisse. Noolwekyo siyinza kugolokoka kaakano ne mbaako kye nkuwa.’
And he from within shall answer and say, Trouble me not: the door is now shut, and my children are with me in bed; I cannot rise and give thee.
8 Naye mbategeeza nti, Newaakubadde nga tagolokoka n’amuyamba nga mukwano gwe, naye, singa akonkona n’amwetayirira, alwaddaaki agolokoka n’amuwa by’amusabye.
I say unto you, Though he will not rise and give him, because he is his friend, yet because of his importunity he will rise and give him as many as he needeth.
9 “Bwe ntyo mbagamba nti, musabe munaaweebwa, munoonye mulizuula, mukonkone era munaggulirwawo.
And I say unto you, Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you.
10 Kubanga buli asaba, aweebwa, n’oyo anoonya, azuula, era n’oyo akonkona aggulirwawo.
For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened.
11 “Ani ku mmwe kitaawe w’omwana, omwana we ng’amusabye ekyennyanja, mu kifo ky’ekyennyanja n’amuwa omusota?
If a son shall ask bread of any of you that is a father, will he give him a stone? or if [he ask] a fish, will he for a fish give him a serpent?
12 Oba ng’amusabye eggi n’amuwa enjaba?
Or if he shall ask an egg, will he offer him a scorpion?
13 Kale obanga mmwe ababi muwa abaana bammwe ebirungi, Kitammwe ali mu ggulu talisinga nnyo okubawa Mwoyo Mutukuvu abo abamusaba?”
If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children: how much more shall [your] heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to them that ask him?
14 Lwali lumu Yesu n’agoba dayimooni ku musajja eyali tayogera. Dayimooni bwe yamuvaako, omusajja oyo n’ayogera, ekibiina ky’abantu ne beewuunya.
And he was casting out a devil, and it was dumb. And it came to pass, when the devil was gone out, the dumb spake; and the people wondered.
15 Naye abantu abamu ne bagamba nti, “Agoba baddayimooni, kubanga amaanyi g’akozesa agaggya wa Beeruzebuli omukulu wa baddayimooni!”
But some of them said, He casteth out devils through Beelzebub the chief of the devils.
16 Abalala ne bamusaba akabonero akava mu ggulu nga bamugezesa.
And others, tempting [him], sought of him a sign from heaven.
17 Naye Yesu bwe yamanya ebirowoozo byabwe, kwe kubagamba nti, “Obwakabaka bwe bulwanagana bwokka, buba bwolekedde kuzikirira, amaka bwe gayawukanamu gokka ne gokka gasasika.
But he, knowing their thoughts, said unto them, Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation; and a house [divided] against a house falleth.
18 Noolwekyo, singa Setaani yeerwanyisa yekka obwakabaka bwe buyinza butya okuyimirirawo? Kubanga mugamba nti ngoba baddayimooni ku lwa Beeruzebuli.
If Satan also be divided against himself, how shall his kingdom stand? because ye say that I cast out devils through Beelzebub.
19 Era obanga Nze ngoba baddayimooni ku bwa Beeruzebuli kale abaana bammwe bo babagoba ku bw’ani? Be bagenda okubasalira omusango.
And if I by Beelzebub cast out devils, by whom do your sons cast them out? therefore shall they be your judges.
20 Naye obanga ngoba baddayimooni mu buyinza bwa Katonda, ekyo kikakasa nti obwakabaka bwa Katonda buzze gye muli.
But if I with the finger of God cast out devils, no doubt the kingdom of God is come upon you.
21 “Kubanga omuntu ow’amaanyi bw’akuuma amaka ge, nga yenna yeesibye ebyokulwanyisa eby’amaanyi, tewaba ayinza kumutwalako bintu bye.
When a strong man armed keepeth his palace, his goods are in peace:
22 Naye omuntu omulala amusinza amaanyi bw’amulumba amuggyako ebyokulwanyisa bye, bye yali yeesiga, n’atwala ebintu bye byonna, n’abigabira abalala.
But when a stronger than he shall come upon him, and overcome him, he taketh from him all his armour wherein he trusted, and divideth his spoils.
23 “Oyo atali ku ludda lwange, mulabe wange, n’oyo atakuŋŋaanyiza wamu nange asaasaanya.
He that is not with me is against me: and he that gathereth not with me scattereth.
24 “Omwoyo ogutali mulongoofu bwe guva mu muntu guyita mu malungu nga gunoonya aw’okuwummulira. Bwe gubulwa, gugamba nti, ‘Nzija kuddayo mu nnyumba mwe nava.’
When the unclean spirit is gone out of a man, he walketh through dry places, seeking rest; and finding none, he saith, I will return unto my house whence I came out.
25 Bwe guddayo gusanga ennyumba ng’eyereddwa era nga ntegeke.
And when he cometh, he findeth [it] swept and garnished.
26 Kyeguva gugenda ne gufunayo emyoyo emirala musanvu egigusingako obwonoonefu, ne giyingirira omuntu oyo. Kale embeera y’omuntu oyo ey’oluvannyuma n’ebeera mbi nnyo okusinga eyasooka.”
Then goeth he, and taketh [to him] seven other spirits more wicked than himself; and they enter in, and dwell there: and the last [state] of that man is worse than the first.
27 Awo Yesu bwe yali ng’akyayogera ebigambo ebyo, omukazi eyali mu kibiina n’ayogerera waggulu nti, “Lulina omukisa olubuto olwakuzaala, n’amabeere kwe wayonka!”
And it came to pass, as he spake these things, a certain woman of the company lifted up her voice, and said unto him, Blessed [is] the womb that bare thee, and the paps which thou hast sucked.
28 Naye Yesu n’addamu nti, “Weewaawo, naye balina omukisa abo bonna abawulira ekigambo kya Katonda ne bakigondera.”
But he said, Yea rather, blessed [are] they that hear the word of God, and keep it.
29 Awo abantu bwe beeyongera okukuŋŋaana abangi, Yesu n’abayigiriza ng’agamba nti, “Omulembe guno mulembe mubi. Gunoonya akabonero, naye tegujja kukaweebwa okuggyako akabonero aka Yona.
And when the people were gathered thick together, he began to say, This is an evil generation: they seek a sign; and there shall no sign be given it, but the sign of Jonas the prophet.
30 Kubanga Yona nga bwe yali akabonero eri abantu b’e Nineeve, n’Omwana w’Omuntu, bw’ajja okuba eri ab’omulembe guno.
For as Jonas was a sign unto the Ninevites, so shall also the Son of man be to this generation.
31 Era ku lunaku olw’okusalirako omusango, kabaka omukazi ow’omu bukiikaddyo alisaliza abantu ab’omulembe guno omusango okubasinga, kubanga yava ku nkomerero y’ensi okujja okuwuliriza amagezi ga Sulemaani, naye oyo asinga Sulemaani ali wano.
The queen of the south shall rise up in the judgment with the men of this generation, and condemn them: for she came from the utmost parts of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon; and, behold, a greater than Solomon [is] here.
32 Abantu b’e Nineeve baliyimirira ne basaliza abantu b’omulembe guno omusango okubasinga, kubanga beenenya bwe baawulira okubuulira kwa Yona Naye laba asinga Yona ali wano.”
The men of Nineve shall rise up in the judgment with this generation, and shall condemn it: for they repented at the preaching of Jonas; and, behold, a greater than Jonas [is] here.
33 “Omuntu takoleeza ttaala n’agikweka, oba n’agivuunikako ekibbo! Naye agiwanika ku kikondo ky’ettaala n’emulisiza bonna abayingira basobole okulaba.
No man, when he hath lighted a candle, putteth [it] in a secret place, neither under a bushel, but on a candlestick, that they which come in may see the light.
34 Eriiso y’ettabaaza y’omubiri gwo. Eriiso bwe liba eddamu, n’omubiri gwo gwonna guba gujjudde omusana. Naye eriiso bwe liba eddwadde, omubiri gwo gujjula ekizikiza.
The light of the body is the eye: therefore when thine eye is single, thy whole body also is full of light; but when [thine eye] is evil, thy body also [is] full of darkness.
35 Noolwekyo weekuume ekizikiza kireme kugoba musana oguli mu ggwe.
Take heed therefore that the light which is in thee be not darkness.
36 Singa omubiri gwo gwonna gujjula omusana, ne gutabaamu kizikiza n’akatono gujja kwakaayakana nga gwe bamulisizzaamu ettaala.”
If thy whole body therefore [be] full of light, having no part dark, the whole shall be full of light, as when the bright shining of a candle doth give thee light.
37 Awo Yesu bwe yali ng’akyayogera, Omufalisaayo n’amuyita okulya emmere mu maka ge, bw’atyo n’agenda n’ayingira n’atuula okulya.
And as he spake, a certain Pharisee besought him to dine with him: and he went in, and sat down to meat.
38 Naye Omufalisaayo eyamuyita bwe yalaba nga Yesu atandise okulya nga tasoose kunaaba mu ngalo, ne yeewuunya.
And when the Pharisee saw [it], he marvelled that he had not first washed before dinner.
39 Awo Mukama waffe n’amugamba nti, “Mmwe Abafalisaayo, munaaza kungulu ku kikopo ne ku ssowaani, naye nga munda wammwe mujjudde omululu n’ebitali bya butuukirivu.
And the Lord said unto him, Now do ye Pharisees make clean the outside of the cup and the platter; but your inward part is full of ravening and wickedness.
40 Basirusiru mmwe eyakola ebweru si ye yakola ne munda?
[Ye] fools, did not he that made that which is without make that which is within also?
41 Naye singa munaddira ebiri munda ne mubiwaayo ng’ekiweebwayo, olwo buli kintu kinaaba kirongoofu eri Katonda.
But rather give alms of such things as ye have; and, behold, all things are clean unto you.
42 “Zibasanze mmwe Abafalisaayo! Kubanga muwaayo ekimu eky’ekkumi ku buli kyonna kye mufuna, ne ku buli kika kya muddo oguwunyisa obulungi era oguwoomesa enva, naye ne mutassaayo mwoyo ku bwenkanya n’okwagala Katonda. Kirungi okukola ebyo byonna, naye era n’ebirala temusaanye kubiragajjalira.
But woe unto you, Pharisees! for ye tithe mint and rue and all manner of herbs, and pass over judgment and the love of God: these ought ye to have done, and not to leave the other undone.
43 “Zibasanze mmwe Abafalisaayo! Kubanga mwagala nnyo okutuula ku ntebe ez’ekitiibwa mu makuŋŋaaniro, era n’okulamusibwa mu butale ng’abantu babawa ekitiibwa.
Woe unto you, Pharisees! for ye love the uppermost seats in the synagogues, and greetings in the markets.
44 “Zibasanze! Kubanga muli ng’amalaalo, agatalabika abantu kwe batambulira ng’ekiri munda tebakimanyi.”
Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye are as graves which appear not, and the men that walk over [them] are not aware [of them.]
45 Omu ku bannyonnyozi b’amateeka n’amwanukula nti, “Omuyigiriza bw’oyogera bw’otyo naffe oba ng’atuvumiddemu.”
Then answered one of the lawyers, and said unto him, Master, thus saying thou reproachest us also.
46 Yesu n’amuddamu nti, “Nammwe zibasanze abannyonnyozi b’amateeka! Kubanga mutikka abantu emigugu emizito egy’amateeka g’eddiini, so nga mmwe temusobola na kukwata na lugalo lwammwe ku migugu egyo.
And he said, Woe unto you also, [ye] lawyers! for ye lade men with burdens grievous to be borne, and ye yourselves touch not the burdens with one of your fingers.
47 “Zibasanze! Kubanga muzimbira bannabbi ebijjukizo, so nga bajjajjammwe be baabatta.
Woe unto you! for ye build the sepulchres of the prophets, and your fathers killed them.
48 Noolwekyo mulaga nga bwe muwagira ebikolwa bya bajjajjammwe eby’obutemu. Bo batta ate mmwe ne muzimba ebijjukizo.
Truly ye bear witness that ye allow the deeds of your fathers: for they indeed killed them, and ye build their sepulchres.
49 Noolwekyo Katonda mu magezi ge, kyeyava agamba nti, ‘Ndibaweereza bannabbi n’abatume, abamu balibatta n’abalala balibayigganya.’
Therefore also said the wisdom of God, I will send them prophets and apostles, and [some] of them they shall slay and persecute:
50 Era ab’omulembe guno kyemuliva muvunaanibwa olw’omusaayi gwa bannabbi bonna okuviira ddala ku kutondebwa kw’ensi,
That the blood of all the prophets, which was shed from the foundation of the world, may be required of this generation;
51 okuva ku musaayi gwa Aberi okutuuka ku musaayi gwa Zaakaliya, eyattirwa wakati w’ekyoto ky’ebiweebwayo ne yeekaalu. Mmwe ab’omulembe guno mbategeeza nti mugenda kuvunaanibwa olw’ebyo byonna.
From the blood of Abel unto the blood of Zacharias, which perished between the altar and the temple: verily I say unto you, It shall be required of this generation.
52 “Zibasanze, mmwe abannyonnyozi b’amateeka! Kubanga mwafuna ekisumuluzo eky’amagezi naye mmwe bennyini ne mutayingira, ate ne muziyiza n’abalala okuyingira.”
Woe unto you, lawyers! for ye have taken away the key of knowledge: ye entered not in yourselves, and them that were entering in ye hindered.
53 Yesu bwe yava mu nnyumba eyo, Abafalisaayo n’abannyonnyozi b’amateeka ne batandika okumuteganya n’okumukambuwalira ennyo n’okumubuuza ebibuuzo bingi awatali kusalako,
And as he said these things unto them, the scribes and the Pharisees began to urge [him] vehemently, and to provoke him to speak of many things:
54 nga bamutega bamukwase mu bigambo kwe banaasinziira okumukwata.
Laying wait for him, and seeking to catch something out of his mouth, that they might accuse him.
