Luka 11
1 Ligono limonga, Yesu avili pandu ayupayi kwa Chapanga. Peamalili, mmonga wa vawuliwa vaki akamjovela, “Bambu, tiwulayi na tete kuyupa kwa Chapanga ngati Yohani chaavawuli vawuliwa vaki.”
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 Yesu akavajovela. “Pemuyupa kwa Chapanga, mujova naha, Dadi, Liina laku lilumbiwa, Unkosi waku ubwelayi.
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 Utipela chakulya chitu cha magono goha.
Give us day by day our daily bread.
4 Utilekekesayi getikubudila Chapanga, ndava muni na tete tikuvalekekesa vevakutibudila. Kotoka kutiyingisa mukulingiwa.”
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 Kangi akavajovela vawuliwa vaki, “Yani pagati yinu mweavi na nkozi, na akamhambila pagati ya kilu na kumjovela ‘Mlongo wangu, chondi niyayika mabumunda gadatu na kangi yati nikuwuyisila,
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 ndava muni nkozi wangu anihikalili kuhuma mulugendu, na nene nivii lepi na chakumpela!’
because a friend has come to me from a journey, and I have nothing to set before him’;
7 Ndi yula wa mugati, ngaamyangwili, ‘Kotoka kuning'aha! Muni, nimali kudinda mlyangu, nene na vana vangu tigonili, nakuhotola kuyimuka kukupela!’
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 Nikuvajovela yati iyimuka lepi kuhamba kumpela pamonga na kuvya nkozi waki, nambu ndava ya kukangamala kwaki kuyupa, yati iyimuka na kumpela chochoha cheigana.
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 Hinu nikuvajovela, muyupa na nyenye yati mwipewa, mulonda yati mwipata, muhodisa mlyangu yati mwidinduliwa.
“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 Muni mundu yeyoha mweiyupa ipewa na mweilonda ipata na mweihodesa mlyangu idinduliwa.
Because everyone who asks receives, and he who seeks finds, and to him who knocks it will be opened.
11 Muni yani mweavi dadi ndi mwana waki amuyupili somba wu, yati akumpela liyoka pahali pa somba?
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 Na ngati amuyupi likang'a yati ampela chipilili?
Or if he asks for an egg, will he give him a scorpion?
13 Hinu nyenye pamonga na uhakau winu, mumanyi kuvapela vana vinu vindu vyabwina, chakaka Dadi winu wa kunani yati ikita na pawaka, muni yati akuvapela Mpungu Msopi vala vevakumuyupa!”
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 Ligono limonga Yesu avi mukuuvinga mzuka wewamkitili mundu mmonga kuvya ngajova. Ndi, mzuka ukamuwuka, mundu yula akahotola kulongela, hati msambi wa vandu ukakangasa.
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 Nambu vandu vangi vakajova, “Ivinga mizuka kwa uhotola wa Belizebuli, mkulu wa mizuka.”
But some of them said, “It's by Beelzebul, the ruler of the demons, that he casts out demons.”
16 Vangi vakamlinga Yesu, vakamgana, akita gachinamtiti kulangisa kuvya uhotola waki uhumili kwa Chapanga.
While others kept asking Him for a sign from heaven, testing.
17 Nambu Yesu amanyili maholo gavi, akavajovela, Unkosi wowoha wula, weulekangini chikundi chikundi nakuhotola kusindimala, mewawa na vandu va nyumba yimonga vevalekangini yati viyaga.
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 Ngati Setani ana chikundi chechikomana chene kwa chene, unkosi waki yati uyima wuli? Nijova genaga ndava nyenye mukunijova nene nivinga mizuka kwa uhotola wa Belizebuli.
So if Satan also is divided against himself, how will his kingdom stand?—since you say I cast out demons by Beelzebul!
19 Vawuliwa vinu vivinga mizuka ngati mewa chenikita nene. Ndava kyani nyenye mwijova nene nivinga mizuka kwa uhotola wa Belizebuli? Hinu venavo ndi yati vakuvahamula nyenye.
Further, if I am casting out demons by Beelzebul, by whom do your sons cast them out? Therefore they will be your judges.
20 Nambu ngati nivinga mizuka kwa uhotola wa Chapanga, ndi mumanya kuvya Unkosi waki umali kuhika kwinu.
But if I cast out demons by the finger of God, surely the Kingdom of God has come upon you.
21 Mundu mweavi na makakala, pailindalila nyumba yaki na vindu vya ngondo, vindu vyaki vyoha vivya bwina.
“When a strong man, fully armed, guards his own dwelling, his possessions are safe.
22 Nambu akabwelayi mundu yungi mweavi na makakala neju na kumzangila na kumnyaga vindu vyaki vya ngondo, mundu mwenuyo ihotola kuvitola vindu vyaki vyoha na kuvigavanisa.
But when someone stronger than he attacks, he overcomes him, takes away all his armor in which he trusted, and distributes his spoils.
23 “Mundu yoyoha yula mwangalongosana na nene, mwenuyo isigana, na yoyoha yula mweibela kunonga pamonga na nene, mwenuyo ipechengana.”
“He who is not with me is against me, and he who does not gather with me scatters.
24 “Mzuka ngati uvingiwi kwa mundu, ulyungalyunga kulugangatu mukulonda pandu pa kupumulila. Ngati apapati lepi ukujijovela, ‘Yati niwuya kunyumba yangu kwenikahumili.’
“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 Peiwuya ikolela nyumba yila yitendelikiwi na vindu vivikiwi bwina.
And coming it finds it swept and put in order.
26 Ndi, ihamba kuhitola mizuka hingi saba, yeyivi hihakau kuliku mwene, ndi penapo yoha yikumuyingila mundu yula. Mundu mwenuyo hinu wumi waki wivya uhakau neju, kuliku chaakavili lukumbi lwa kutumbula.”
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 Paajovayi genago, mdala mmonga mweavi pagati ya msambi wa vandu akajova kwa lwami luvaha, “Limotisiwayi lileme lelikugegili na livele lelakunyong'isi!”
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 Yesu akajova, “Vamotisiwa veviyuwana lilovi la Chapanga na kulikamula!”
But He said, “More than that, blessed are those who hear the word of God and obey it!”
29 Msambi wa vandu pawayonjokisi, Yesu akavajovela, “Chiveleku ichi ndi chihakau, chigana ulangisu kuhuma kunani kwa Chapanga, nambu yati nakupewa ulangisu wowoha manya ngawula wa 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 Mewawa Yona chalolikini kuvya ulangisu kwa vandu va ku Ninawi, ndi na Mwana wa Mundu yati ivya chinamtiti kwa chiveleku ichi.
Just as Jonah became a sign to the Ninevites, so also will the Son of the Man be to this generation.
31 Nkosi wa chidala wa kusini yati ihumila ligono la muhalu ukulu, lukumbi lwa muhalu wa chiveleku ichi na mwene yati ijova chiveleku ichi chibudili. Muni mwene agendili kuhuma mulima wa kutali kubwela kuyuwanila malovi ga luhala ga Nkosi Solomoni, nambu penapa avi mkulu kuliku Nkosi Solomoni.
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 Vandu va ku Ninawi yati vihumila ligono la muhalu ukulu pamonga na vandu va chiveleku ichi yati vijova chibudili. Muni vandu va Ninawi vamuwuyalili Chapanga ndava ujumbi wa Chapanga weakokwisi Yona. Nambu penapa avi mkulu kuliku 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 “Kawaka mundu mweipambika hahi na kuyifiya amala kuyigubika na chiviga, nambu hahi ngati yipambikwi vivika kunani kuchibokoselu, muni yilangasayi bwina mugati mwoha na vandu voha veviyingila valola bwina.
“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 Lihu laku ndi hahi ya higa yaku. Ngati lihu laku livi bwina, higa yaku yivi mulumuli. Nambu lihu laku likoywiki, higa yaku yivi mchitita.
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 Mujilolayi neju, lumuli lweluvi mugati yaku lukoto kuvya chitita.
So see to it that the ‘light’ in you not be darkness.
36 Ndi, ngati higa yaku yoha una lumuli, changali pandu pangi kuvya chitita, higa yaku yati ying'asima ngati hahi cheyilangasa kwa lumuli lwaki.”
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 Yesu peamali kujova genago, Mfalisayu mmonga amgongolili Yesu kulya chakulya kunyumba yaki ndi Yesu akahamba kwenuko, na akatama kulya.
Now as He spoke, a certain Pharisee invited Him to eat with him. So He went in and reclined.
38 Mfalisayu yula akakangasa, muni amuweni Yesu asambili lepi kwakona chakulya.
But the Pharisee, noticing that He did not first wash before the meal, was critical.
39 Bambu akamjovela, “Nyenye Vafalisayu msanja chikombi na nkeve kuvala, nambu mugati mumemili kugana vindu vyamahele na uhakau.
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 Vayimu nyenye! Wu, Chapanga awumbili lepi vya kuvala, na kangi awumbili lepi vya mugati?
Fools! Did not He who made the outside also make the inside?
41 Nambu muvapela vangangu vyevivili mugati, munkele na muchikombi na kila chindu chivyaa chabwina kwa nyenye.”
Nevertheless, give what is possible as alms; then indeed all things are clean to you.
42 “Yati muchikolela nyenye Vafalisayu, muni mkumpela Chapanga lilundu limonga pagati ya kumi za ndimbilu na libonongo na mahamba gangi ga likolo. Nambu mwileka kuvakitila vandu gegiganikiwa, na kumgana Chapanga. Yikuvagana kugakamula genago changali kukosiwa na gangi 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 “Yati muchikolela nyenye Vafalisayu, ndava mwigana kutama muvigoda vya kulongolo munyumba za kukonganekela Vayawudi na kujambuswa na vandu cha kugundamiliwa pavikonganika vandu.
Woe to you Pharisees! You love the best seat in the synagogues, and greetings in the marketplaces.
44 Yati muchikolela, ndava muni muvi ngati matinda gegafiyiki na vandu vigenda panani yaki changamanya.”
Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! You are like unperceived graves, that people walk on without knowing it.”
45 Mundu mmonga mweimanya malagizu akamyangula, “Muwula, malovi gaku ukutiliga na tete.”
Then one of the lawyers reacted and said to him, “Teacher, by saying these things you insult us also!”
46 Yesu akamyangula, “Na nyenye mwemwimanya malagizu yati muchikolela! Muni mukuvagegesa vandu ndwika yeyitopa yangagegeka, na kuni mwavene nakutalambula hata lung'onji kuvatangatila.
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 Mwalachikolela nyenye! Muni mwijenga matinda ga vamlota va Chapanga, vavakomiwi na vagogo vinu.
Woe to you! You restore the tombs of the prophets, it being your fathers who killed them.
48 Mewawa mwavene mwilangisa chakaka na kuyidakila na matendu ga vagogo vinu, muni vene vavakomili vamlota va Chapanga na nyenye mwijenga matinda gavi.
Thereby you witness to and approve of the deeds of your fathers; because they indeed killed them, while you restore their tombs.
49 Ndava ya genago, luhala lwa Chapanga lwajovili naha, ‘Yati nivaletela vamlota na vamitumi, nambu vangi vikomiwa na vangi yati ving'ahiswa.’
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 Ndi vandu va lukumbi ulu yati viyingila mumuhalu, ndava ya lifwa la vamlota va Chapanga voha vevakomiwi kutumbula kuwumbikiwa kwa mulima,
so that the blood of all the prophets which was shed from the foundation of the world may be required of this generation,
51 kutumbula peakomiwi Abeli mbaka kukomiwa kwa Zakalia mwevamkomili pagati ya lusanja lwa luteta na pandu pamsopi. Ena chakaka, chiveleku ichi chiyingila mumuhalu ndava ya matendu genago.”
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 “Mwalachikolela nyenye mwemumanya Malagizu! Muni mufiyili fungulu wa mlyangu wa kumanya, nyenye mwavene nakuyingila, na muvabelalili vevakaliyigila vakotoka kuyingila!”
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 Yesu pawukili penapo, Vafalisayu na vawula va malagizu kutumbula penapo vakamyomela neju na kumlinga kwa kumkota mambu gamahele,
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 Muni vagana kumkamula kwa malovi geijova.
lying in wait for Him, trying to catch Him in something He might say, so that they might accuse Him.
