Luka 11
1 Lyubha limo a Yeshu bhashinkutama pa jika bhalikwaajuga a Nnungu, bhakamaliyeje, nkujiganywa jwabho jumo gwabhalugulile, “Mmakulungwa ntujing'anye kwaajuga a Nnungu malinga a Yowana Bhabhatisha shibhajigenye bhaajiganywa bhabho.”
Then it happened, when He finished praying in a certain place, that one of His disciples said to Him, “Lord, teach us to pray, just as John also taught his disciples.”
2 A Yeshu gubhaabhalanjilenje, “Punkwaajuganga a Nnungu, mmeleketanje nnei, ‘Atati nni kunnungu, lina lyenu likuywe, Upalume gwenu uishe.
So He said to them: “Whenever you pray, say: Our Father who is in the heavens, your name must be reverenced. Your Kingdom must come. Your will must be done on earth as it is in heaven.
3 Ntupe shalya shetu mobha gowe.
Give us day by day our daily bread.
4 Ntuleshelele yambi yetu, Pabha numbe uwe tunakwaaleshelelanga bhowe bhakutulebhanga, Nnatubhishe mmalinjilo, ikabhe ntutapule na jwangali jwa mmbone jula.’”
Also, forgive us our sins, because we also forgive everyone indebted to us. And, do not lead us into testing, but deliver us from the malignant one.”
5 Kungai gubhaalugulilenje, Gani akwete mbwiga nnjakwe, nikunnjendela pakati shilo, nikummalanjila, shonde mbwiga nnjangu unyaime mikate jitatu,
Then He said to them: “Who among you will have a friend and go to him at midnight and say to him, ‘Friend, lend me three loaves,
6 pabha mmbwiga nnjangu ashiika kukopoka mmwanja, na nne nangali sha kumpa.
because a friend has come to me from a journey, and I have nothing to set before him’;
7 Na jwalakwe ali nnyumba pemo akajangwile, unang'abhuye! Nne nnaino ng'ugele nnango. Nne na ashibhanangu tugonile, ngakombola jumuka kukuupa!
and he will answer from within and say, ‘Don't bother me; the door is now shut, and my children are with me in bed; I cannot get up and give to you?’
8 Nkali anajumushe nikumpa kwa ligongo lyabha mmbwiga mwine, ikabheje, kwa ligongo lya punda juga, shajumushe nikumpa shoshowe shaajuga.
I say to you, even if he will not get up and give 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 Kwa nneyo, mmanganya nnjuganje, shimpegwanje, nnoleyanje, shimpatanje, nng'olishiyanje, shinng'ugulilwanje.
“So I say to you: ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you.
10 Pabha jojowe ajuga anapegwa, aloleya anapata, na aolishiya anaugulilwa.
Because everyone who asks receives, and he who seeks finds, and to him who knocks it will be opened.
11 Igala nng'inamundu jwashi mwanagwe anjugaga shamaki, shampe lijoka paala pa shamaki?
And which father among you, if your son asks for bread, will give him a stone? Or if a fish, will he give him a snake instead of a fish?
12 Eu ajugaga liji, bhampe shibhalabhala?
Or if he asks for an egg, will he give him a scorpion?
13 Nkali mmanganya, nninginji mmangalinginji bha mmbone, nnakwaapanganga ashibhana bhenu indu ya mmbone. Bhuli, Ainabhenunji bha kunnungu bhakapunda kwaapanganga Mbumu jwa Ukonjelo, bhene bhakwaajuganga bhala?
If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will the heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to those who ask Him!”
14 Lyubha limo a Yeshu bhatendaga kunshoya lioka antendaga mundu jumo abhe bhubhu. Bhai lioka jula akanshosheje, mundu jula gwakombwele kubheleketa, lugwinjili lwa bhandu lukukanganigwaga.
Then He was casting out a demon, and it was mute. As a result, when the demon had gone out the mute spoke! And the crowds marveled.
15 Ikabheje bhandunji bhana gubhashitenje, “Bhanashoya maoka kwa mashili gaka Bhelishebhuli nkulungwa jwa maoka.”
But some of them said, “It's by Beelzebul, the ruler of the demons, that he casts out demons.”
16 Bhananji nkwaalinga, gubhapinjilenje bhatende ilapo, imanyishe kuti mashili gabho, gaakopoka kwa a Nnungu.
While others kept asking Him for a sign from heaven, testing.
17 Ikabheje a Yeshu bhaimanyi ng'aniyo yabhonji, gubhaalugulilenje, “Upalume gogowe ugabhanikaga ukalonjeya, likaja lyolyowe lilekanaga shilipalaganishe.
But He, knowing their thoughts, said to them: “Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation, and a house divided against itself falls.
18 Monaga Lishetani anakwikana nnyene, upalume gwakwe shuulonjeye bhuli? Bhai ngunabheleketa nnei pabha nnanugulanga kuti, ngunashoya maoka kwa mashili gaka Bhelishebhuli?
So if Satan also is divided against himself, how will his kingdom stand?—since you say I cast out demons by Beelzebul!
19 Monaga nne ngushoya maoka kwa mashili gaka Bhelishebhuli, bhaakagula bhenunji bhashoyanga maoka kwa mashili gaka gani? Kwa nneyo, bhanganyabho shibhanng'ukumulanje.
Further, if I am casting out demons by Beelzebul, by whom do your sons cast them out? Therefore they will be your judges.
20 Monaga ngushoya maoka kwa mashili ga a Nnungu, bhai mmumanyanje kuti Upalume gwa a Nnungu unng'ishilenje.”
But if I cast out demons by the finger of God, surely the Kingdom of God has come upon you.
21 Mundu akwete mashili ali na ikomanilo yakwe, atamaga muulinda gwa nyumba jakwe, indu yakwe yowe shiilame.
“When a strong man, fully armed, guards his own dwelling, his possessions are safe.
22 Ikabheje aikaga akwete mashili ga kumpunda nikunkombola, jwenejo shampokonyole ikomanilo yakwe yowe yaikulupalilaga na kumpokonyola indu yakwe.
But when someone stronger than he attacks, he overcomes him, takes away all his armor in which he trusted, and distributes his spoils.
23 Jojowe akakwiilunda na nne, anaangana na jojowe akalopola na nne, anajaanga.
“He who is not with me is against me, and he who does not gather with me scatters.
24 “Lioka jwangali jwa mmbone abhingwaga kukamundu, anapita jimajima nng'anga kuloleya pa pumulila. Akapabhone anakwibhalanjila, ‘Shimuje kundamo jangu.’
“Whenever an unclean spirit goes out from a man, it passes through waterless places seeking rest; and not finding any it says, ‘I will return to my house from which I came out.’
25 Abhujaga nikujiimana nyumba jila jipajilwe na jikonjeleywe,
And coming it finds it swept and put in order.
26 bhai, anakwenda kwaatolanga ashimaoka bhana shabha, bhangalinginji bha mmbone kupunda jwenejo, na bhowe bhanakunnjinjilanga mundu jula. Kwa nneyo mundu jula, ali jakwe ja kumpelo, jinabha mbaya ja kundandubho jila.”
Then it goes and picks up seven other spirits, more malignant than itself, and they go in and live there; so the last state of that man becomes worse than the first.”
27 Bhalibheleketa genego, bhakongwe bhamo nnugwinjili lwa bhandunji lula, kwa lilobhe lya utiya gubhashite, “Mbaya bhakongwe bhankwete na libhele linnjonjile.”
And then, as He was saying these things, a woman in the crowd raised her voice and said to Him, “Blessed is the womb that bore you, and the breasts that you sucked!”
28 Ikabheje a Yeshu gubhashite, “Mbaya kaje bhene bhakulipilikananga lilobhe lya a Nnungu nikunda.”
But He said, “More than that, blessed are those who hear the word of God and obey it!”
29 Lugwinjili lwa bhandu lukajenjeshesheje, a Yeshu gubhaabhalanjilenje, “Alu lubheleko lwa lebha, lunapinga shilangulo. Ikabheje lukapegwa shilangulo shoshowe ikabhe shilangulo sha a Yona.
Now as the crowds were increasing, He began to say: “This is a malignant generation. It keeps wanting a sign, but no sign will be given to it except the sign of the prophet Jonah.
30 A Yona bhaliji shilangulo sha bhandunji bha ku Ninawi, nneyo peyo Mwana juka Mundu shapingabha shilangulo kwa lwene lubhelekolu.
Just as Jonah became a sign to the Ninevites, so also will the Son of the Man be to this generation.
31 Lyubha lya ukumu, a Malikia bha ku Shebha shibhakoposhele kukulukana lwene lubhelekolu. Pabha bhenebho bhashinkukoposhela kwaataliya, kwiya pilikanishiya malobhe ga lunda ga a Shelemani, ikabheje apano apali ali jwankulungwa kupunda a Shelemani.
The queen of the South will be raised up in the judgment with the men of this generation, and she will condemn them, because she came from the ends of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon, and indeed a greater than Solomon is here.
32 Bhandunji bha ku Ninawi shibhakoposhelanje lyubha lya ukumu, kukulukana lwene lubhelekolu. Pabha bhandunji bha ku Ninawi bhaipetilenje kwa ligongo lya ntenga gwa a Yona, ikabheje apano apali ali nkulungwa kupunda a Yona!
The men of Nineveh will rise up in the judgment with this generation, and they will condemn it, because they repented at the preaching of Jonah, and indeed a greater than Jonah is here.
33 “Jwakwa mundu akoleya kandilili nikujiunishila eu nikujiiya, ikabhe pakujibhika panani itengu nkupinga bhandunji bhaajinjilangana bhashibhonanje shilangaya.
“No one, having lit a lamp, puts it in hiding or under a basket, but on its stand, so that those who come in may see the light.
34 Liyo lyenu ni kandili ja shiilu shenu, libhaga lyalikoto, shiilu showe shishibhe nshilangaya. Liyo lyenu likalole, shiilu shenu shishibhe nnubhindu.
The lamp of the body is the eye. Therefore, whenever your ‘eye’ is good, your whole body is illuminated. But when it is malignant, your body also is darkened.
35 Bhai mwiiteije, shilangaya shinkwetesho shinatendebhushe kubha lubhindu.
So see to it that the ‘light’ in you not be darkness.
36 Bhai monaga shiilu shenu showe shikolaga shilangaya gwangali pakwete lubhindu, shene shiilusho shishibhe na shilangaya kwa kaje, malinga kandili shijikuti kummulishila kwa shilangaya shakwe.”
If then your whole body is full of light, not having any part dark, the whole will be illuminated, as when the bright shining of a lamp gives you light.”
37 A Yeshu bhakabheleketeje genego, Apalishayo bhamo gubhaashemele shalya kunngwabho, gubhapite tama kulya.
Now as He spoke, a certain Pharisee invited Him to eat with him. So He went in and reclined.
38 Apalishayo bhala gubhakanganigwe bhakabhoneje kuti bhanalya gwangali kunabha.
But the Pharisee, noticing that He did not first wash before the meal, was critical.
39 Bhakulungwa gubhaabhalanjile, “Mmanganya Ashimapalishayo nnaukanganga shikombe na shaani kua, ikabheje nkati nngumbelenje kukwetela indu na yangali ya mmbone.
So the Lord said to him: “Now you Pharisees clean the outside of the cup and the dish, but your inside is full of greed and malignancy.
40 Mmanganya mmagulumba! Bhuli, aeleye kua nngati jojo aeleye na nkati?
Fools! Did not He who made the outside also make the inside?
41 Bhai nshoyanje mbepei kwa indu inkwetenje, na yowe shiinkonjelanje.”
Nevertheless, give what is possible as alms; then indeed all things are clean to you.
42 “Ikabheje ole, Mapalishayo, pabha nnakwaapanganga a Nnungu lipungu lya kumi nkali lya maamba ga liponda, ikabheje nkakwaatendelanga bhandu ipinjikwa na ibhapinga a Nnungu. Punkupinjikwanga nshoyanje yeneyo, gwangali kuleka gana gala.”
“But woe to you Pharisees! You tithe mint and rue and every herb, but you ignore justice and the love of God. These it was necessary to do, without leaving those undone.
43 “Ole Ashimapalishayo, pabha nnapinganga kutama itengu ya mmujo mmashinagogi, na komaywa pa lugwinjili.
Woe to you Pharisees! You love the best seat in the synagogues, and greetings in the marketplaces.
44 Ole, pabha nshibhanganga mbuti makabhuli gangabhikwa shilangulo, bhandunji bhalilibhatanga pantundu jakwe gwangali kumumanya.”
Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! You are like unperceived graves, that people walk on without knowing it.”
45 Bhaajiganya bhamo bha shalia, gubhaalugulile, “Mmaajiganya, malobhe genu ganakutupetekuya nkali uwe.”
Then one of the lawyers reacted and said to him, “Teacher, by saying these things you insult us also!”
46 A Yeshu gubhaajangwile, “Na mmanganya mmaajiganya bha shalia ole, pabha nnakwaatwikanga bhandunji mishigo jatopa jikajigalika, akuno mwaashayene nkaakwayanga nkali kwa lukowe lumo kwaajangutanga.
So He said: “Woe to you lawyers also! You load men down with burdens hard to carry, but you yourselves do not touch the burdens with one of your fingers.
47 Ole, pabha nnashenjelanga makabhuli ga ashinkulondola bha a Nnungu bhabhulegwenje na bhanangulungwa bhenunji.
Woe to you! You restore the tombs of the prophets, it being your fathers who killed them.
48 Kwa nneyo nnakong'ondelanga itendi ya bhanangulungwa bhenunji, pabha bhashikwabhulaganga ashinkulondola bha a Nnungu, na mmanganya nnashenjelanga makabhuli gabhonji.
Thereby you witness to and approve of the deeds of your fathers; because they indeed killed them, while you restore their tombs.
49 Kwa nneyo, kwa Lumanyiyo lwa a Nnungu gubhashite, ‘Shinaapeleshelanje ashinkulondola na mitume, ikabheje bhananji shibhaabhulaganje, na bhananji shibhaapotekanje.’
Also, because of this ‘the wisdom of God’ said: ‘I will send them prophets and apostles, and some of them they will kill and persecute,’
50 Kwa nneyo lwene lubhelekolu lupingagambwa kwa ligongo lya minyai ja ashinkulondola bha a Nnungu bhowe, bhabhulegwenje kuumila ku ndandubho ja shilambolyo.
so that the blood of all the prophets which was shed from the foundation of the world may be required of this generation,
51 Kutandubhila kubhulagwa kwa a Abheli mpaka a Shakalia bhabhulegwe pakati pakati shitala na pa ukonjelo. Elo, ngunakummalanjilanga lwene lubhelekolu shilugambwe kwa yene itendiyo.
from the blood of Abel to the blood of Zechariah, who perished between the altar and the sanctuary. Yes, I say to you, it shall be required of this generation!
52 “Ole gwenunji mmanganya bhaajiganya bha shalia, pabha nshishoyanga nshungulo gwa nnango gwa lumanyiyo, mwaashayene mwangajinjilanga na bhajinjilanga bhala nshikwaibhililanga bhanajinjilanje.”
Woe to you lawyers! You have taken away the key of knowledge; you yourselves have not entered, and you have hindered those who were entering!”
53 A Yeshu bhakakoposheje mwemula, ashimapalishayo na bhaajiganya bha shalia bhala gubhatandubhenje kwaashimanga na kwaatega kwa ibhuyo yaigwinji,
Well when He had said these things to them, the scribes and the Pharisees began to urge Him on vehemently and to cross-examine Him about many things,
54 nkupinga bhapatanje mwakwaakamulila kwa malobhe gabho.
lying in wait for Him, trying to catch Him in something He might say, so that they might accuse Him.
