Luke 11
1 Bí ó ti ń gbàdúrà ní ibi kan, bí ó ti dákẹ́, ọ̀kan nínú àwọn ọmọ-ẹ̀yìn rẹ̀ wí fún un pé, “Olúwa, kọ́ wa bí a ti ń gbàdúrà, bí Johanu ti kọ́ àwọn ọmọ-ẹ̀yìn rẹ̀.”
And it came to pass, in His being in a certain place praying, as He ceased, a certain one of His disciples said to Him, “Lord, teach us to pray, as also John taught his disciples.”
2 Ó sì wí fún wọn pé, “Nígbà tí ẹ̀yin bá ń gbàdúrà, ẹ máa wí pé: “‘Baba wa tí ń bẹ ní ọ̀run, kí á bọ̀wọ̀ fún orúkọ yín. Kí ìjọba yín dé, ìfẹ́ tiyín ni kí a ṣe, bí i ti ọrun, bẹ́ẹ̀ ni ní ayé.
And He said to them, “When you may pray, say: Our Father who is in the heavens, hallowed be Your Name; Your kingdom come, Your will come to pass, as in Heaven also on earth;
3 Fún wa ní oúnjẹ òòjọ́ wa lójoojúmọ́.
be giving us daily our appointed bread;
4 Kí o sì dárí ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ wa jì wá; nítorí àwa tìkára wa pẹ̀lú a máa dáríjì olúkúlùkù ẹni tí ó jẹ wá ní gbèsè, Má sì fà wá sínú ìdánwò, ṣùgbọ́n gbà wá lọ́wọ́ ẹni búburú ni.’”
and forgive us our sins, for we also ourselves forgive everyone indebted to us; and may You not bring us into temptation, but deliver us from the evil [one].”
5 Ó sì wí fún wọn pé, “Ta ni nínú yín tí yóò ní ọ̀rẹ́ kan, tí yóò sì tọ̀ ọ́ lọ láàrín ọ̀gànjọ́, tí yóò sì wí fún un pé, ‘Ọ̀rẹ́, yá mi ní ìṣù àkàrà mẹ́ta.
And He said to them, “Who of you will have a friend, and will go on to him at midnight, and may say to him, Friend, lend me three loaves,
6 Nítorí ọ̀rẹ́ mi kan ti àjò dé sọ́dọ̀ mi, èmi kò sì ní nǹkan tí èmi ó gbé kalẹ̀ níwájú rẹ̀.’
seeing a friend of mine came out of the way to me, and I have not what I will set before him,
7 Tí òun ó sì gbé inú ilé dáhùn wí fún un pé, ‘Má yọ mí lẹ́nu, a ti sé ìlẹ̀kùn, àwọn ọmọ mi si ń bẹ lórí ẹní pẹ̀lú mi: èmi kò lè dìde fi fún ọ!’
and he from within answering may say, Do not give me trouble, the door has already been shut, and my children are with me in the bed, I am not able, having risen, to give to you.
8 Mo wí fún yín, bí òun kò tilẹ̀ ti fẹ́ dìde kí ó fi fún un nítorí tí í ṣe ọ̀rẹ́ rẹ̀, ṣùgbọ́n nítorí àwíìyánnu rẹ̀, yóò dìde, yóò sì fún un tó bí ó ti ń fẹ́.
I say to you, even if he will not give to him, having risen, because of his being his friend, yet because of his persistence, having risen, he will give him as many as he needs;
9 “Èmí sì wí fún yín, ẹ béèrè, a ó sì fi fún un yín; ẹ wá kiri, ẹ̀yin ó sì rí; ẹ kànkùn, a ó sì ṣí i sílẹ̀ fún yín.
and 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 Nítorí ẹnikẹ́ni tí ó bá béèrè, ó rí gbà; ẹni tí ó sì ń wá kiri, ó rí; àti ẹni tí ó kànkùn ni a ó ṣí i sílẹ̀ fún.
for everyone who is asking receives; and he who is seeking finds; and to him who is knocking it will be opened.
11 “Ta ni baba nínú yín tí ọmọ rẹ̀ yóò béèrè àkàrà lọ́dọ̀ rẹ̀, tí yóò fún un ní òkúta? Tàbí bí ó béèrè ẹja, tí yóò fún un ní ejò?
And of which of you—the father—[if] the son will ask [for] a loaf, will present to him a stone? And [if] a fish, instead of a fish, will present to him a serpent?
12 Tàbí bí ó sì béèrè ẹ̀yin, tí yóò fún un ní àkéekèe?
And [if] he may ask [for] an egg, will present to him a scorpion?
13 Ǹjẹ́ bí ẹ̀yin tí ó jẹ́ ènìyàn búburú bá mọ bí a ti í fi ẹ̀bùn dáradára fún àwọn ọmọ yín, mélòó mélòó ha ni Baba yín tí ń bẹ ní ọ̀run yóò fi Ẹ̀mí Mímọ́ rẹ̀ fún àwọn tí ó béèrè lọ́dọ̀ rẹ̀!”
If, then, you, being evil, have known to be giving good gifts to your children, how much more will the Father who is from Heaven give the Holy Spirit to those asking Him!”
14 Ó sì ń lé ẹ̀mí èṣù kan jáde, tí ó sì yadi. Nígbà tí ẹ̀mí èṣù náà jáde, odi sọ̀rọ̀; ẹnu sì ya ìjọ ènìyàn.
And He was casting forth a demon, and it was mute, and it came to pass, the demon having gone forth, the mute man spoke, and the multitudes wondered,
15 Ṣùgbọ́n àwọn ẹlòmíràn nínú wọn wí pé, “Nípa Beelsebulu olórí àwọn ẹ̀mí èṣù ni ó fi ń lé àwọn ẹ̀mí èṣù jáde.”
and certain of them said, “By Beelzebul, ruler of the demons, He casts forth the demons”;
16 Àwọn ẹlòmíràn sì ń dán an wò, wọ́n ń fẹ́ àmì lọ́dọ̀ rẹ̀ láti ọ̀run wá.
and others, tempting, were asking [for] a sign out of Heaven from Him.
17 Ṣùgbọ́n òun mọ èrò inú wọn, ó wí fún wọn pé, “Gbogbo ìjọba tí ó ya ara rẹ̀ ní ipá, ni a ń sọ di ahoro; ilé tí ó sì ya ara rẹ̀ nípá yóò wó.
And He, knowing their thoughts, said to them, “Every kingdom having been divided against itself is desolated; and house against house falls;
18 Bí Satani ba yapa sí ara rẹ̀, ìjọba rẹ̀ yóò ha ṣe dúró? Nítorí ẹ̀yin wí pé, nípa Beelsebulu ni èmi fi ń lé àwọn ẹ̀mí èṣù jáde.
and if Satan was also divided against himself, how will his kingdom be made to stand? For you say by Beelzebul is My casting forth the demons,
19 Bí ó ba ṣe pé nípa Beelsebulu ni èmi fi ń lé àwọn ẹ̀mí èṣù jáde, nípa ta ni àwọn ọmọ yín fi ń lé wọn jáde, nítorí náà àwọn ni yóò ṣe onídàájọ́ yín.
but if I, by Beelzebul, cast forth the demons—your sons, by whom do they cast forth? Because of this they will be your judges;
20 Ṣùgbọ́n bí ó bá ṣe pé nípa ìka ọwọ́ Ọlọ́run ni èmi fi ń lé àwọn ẹ̀mí èṣù jáde, ǹjẹ́ ìjọba Ọlọ́run dé bá yín tán.
but if by the finger of God I cast forth the demons, then the Kingdom of God came unaware on you.
21 “Nígbà tí alágbára ọkùnrin tí ó ni ìhámọ́ra bá ń ṣọ́ ààfin rẹ̀, ẹrù rẹ̀ yóò wà ní àlàáfíà.
When the strong man may keep his hall armed, his goods are in peace;
22 Ṣùgbọ́n nígbà tí ẹni tí ó ní agbára jù ú bá kọlù ú, tí ó sì ṣẹ́gun rẹ̀ a gba gbogbo ìhámọ́ra rẹ̀ tí ó gbẹ́kẹ̀lé lọ́wọ́ rẹ̀, a sì pín ìkógun rẹ̀.
but when the stronger than he, having come on [him], may overcome him, he takes away his whole armor in which he had trusted, and he distributes his spoils;
23 “Ẹni tí kò bá wà pẹ̀lú mi, ó lòdì sí mi, ẹni tí kò bá sì bá mi kójọpọ̀, ó fọ́nká.
he who is not with Me is against Me, and he who is not gathering with Me scatters.
24 “Nígbà tí ẹ̀mí àìmọ́ bá jáde kúrò lára ènìyàn, a máa rìn kiri ní ibi gbígbẹ, a máa wá ibi ìsinmi; nígbà tí kò bá sì rí, a wí pé, ‘Èmi yóò padà lọ sí ilé mi ní ibi tí mo gbé ti jáde wá.’
When the unclean spirit may go forth from the man, it walks through waterless places seeking rest, and not finding, it says, I will return to my house from where I came forth;
25 Nígbà tí ó bá sì dé, tí ó sì rí tí a gbá a, tí a sì ṣe é ní ọ̀ṣọ́.
and having come, it finds [it] swept and adorned;
26 Nígbà náà ni yóò lọ, yóò sì mú ẹ̀mí méje mìíràn tí ó burú ju òun tìkára rẹ̀ lọ wá, wọn yóò wọlé, wọn yóò sì máa gbé níbẹ̀, ìgbẹ̀yìn ọkùnrin náà yóò sì burú ju ìṣáájú rẹ̀ lọ.”
then it goes, and takes to it seven other spirits more evil than itself, and having entered, they dwell there, and the last of that man becomes worse than the first.”
27 Bí ó ti ń sọ nǹkan wọ̀nyí, obìnrin kan gbóhùn rẹ̀ sókè nínú ìjọ, ó sì wí fún un pé, “Ìbùkún ni fún inú tí ó bí ọ, àti ọmú tí ìwọ mu!”
And it came to pass, in His saying these things, a certain woman having lifted up the voice out of the multitude, said to Him, “Blessed the womb that carried You, and the breasts that You sucked!”
28 Ṣùgbọ́n òun wí pé, nítòótọ́, kí ó kúkú wí pé, “Ìbùkún ni fún àwọn tí ń gbọ́ ọ̀rọ̀ Ọlọ́run, tí wọ́n sì pa á mọ́!”
And He said, “Indeed, rather, blessed those hearing the word of God, and keeping [it]!”
29 Nígbà tí ìjọ ènìyàn sì ṣùjọ sí ọ̀dọ̀ rẹ̀, ó bẹ̀rẹ̀ sí wí pé, “Ìran búburú ni èyí, wọ́n ń wá àmì; a kì yóò sì fi àmì kan fún un bí kò ṣe àmì Jona wòlíì!
And the multitudes crowding together on Him, He began to say, “This generation is evil, it seeks after a sign, and a sign will not be given to it, except the sign of Jonah the prophet,
30 Nítorí bí Jona ti jẹ́ àmì fún àwọn ará Ninefe, gẹ́gẹ́ bẹ́ẹ̀ ni Ọmọ Ènìyàn yóò ṣe jẹ́ àmì fún ìran yìí.
for as Jonah became a sign to the Ninevites, so also will the Son of Man be to this generation.
31 Ọbabìnrin gúúsù yóò dìde ní ọjọ́ ìdájọ́ pẹ̀lú àwọn ènìyàn ìran yìí, yóò sì dá wọn lẹ́bi: nítorí tí ó ti ìhà ìpẹ̀kun ayé wá láti gbọ́ ọgbọ́n Solomoni: sì kíyèsi i, ẹni tí ó pọ̀jù Solomoni lọ ń bẹ níhìn-ín yìí.
A queen of the south will rise up in the judgment with the men of this generation, and will condemn them, because she came from the ends of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon; and behold, [One] greater than Solomon [is] here!
32 Àwọn ará Ninefe yóò dìde ní ọjọ́ ìdájọ́ pẹ̀lú ìran yìí, wọn ó sì dá a lẹ́bi: nítorí tí wọn ronúpìwàdà nípa ìwàásù Jona; sì kíyèsi i, ẹni tí ó pọ̀jù Jona lọ ń bẹ níhìn-ín yìí.
Men of Nineveh will stand up in the judgment with this generation, and will condemn it, because they converted at the proclamation of Jonah; and behold, [One] greater than Jonah [is] here!
33 “Kò sí ẹnìkan, nígbà tí ó bá tan fìtílà tan, tí gbé e sí ìkọ̀kọ̀, tàbí sábẹ́ òsùwọ̀n, bí kò ṣe sórí ọ̀pá fìtílà, kí àwọn tí ń wọlé ba à lè máa rí ìmọ́lẹ̀.
And no one having lighted a lamp, puts [it] in a secret place, nor under the measure, but on the lampstand, that those coming in may behold the light.
34 Ojú ni fìtílà ara: bí ojú rẹ bá mọ́lẹ̀ kedere, gbogbo ara rẹ a mọ́lẹ̀; ṣùgbọ́n bí ojú rẹ bá ṣókùnkùn, ara rẹ pẹ̀lú a kún fún òkùnkùn.
The lamp of the body is the eye, when then your eye may be simple, your whole body is also lightened; and when it may be evil, your body is also darkened;
35 Nítorí náà kíyèsi i, kí ìmọ́lẹ̀ tí ń bẹ nínú rẹ má ṣe di òkùnkùn.
take heed, then, lest the light that [is] in you is darkness;
36 Ǹjẹ́ bí gbogbo ara rẹ bá kún fún ìmọ́lẹ̀, tí kò ní apá kan tí ó ṣókùnkùn, gbogbo rẹ̀ ni yóò ní ìmọ́lẹ̀, gẹ́gẹ́ bí ìgbà tí fìtílà bá fi ìtànṣán rẹ̀ fún ọ ní ìmọ́lẹ̀.”
if then your whole body is lightened, not having any part darkened, the whole will be lightened, as when the lamp by the brightness may give you light.”
37 Bí ó sì ti ń wí, Farisi kan bẹ̀ ẹ́ kí ó bá òun jẹun: ó sì wọlé, ó jókòó láti jẹun.
And in [His] speaking, a certain Pharisee was asking Him that He might dine with him, and having gone in, He reclined,
38 Nígbà tí Farisi náà sì rí i, ẹnu yà á nítorí tí kò kọ́kọ́ wẹ ọwọ́ kí ó tó jẹun.
and the Pharisee having seen, wondered that He did not first immerse Himself before the early meal.
39 Olúwa sì wí fún un pé, “Ẹ̀yin Farisi a máa ń fọ òde ago àti àwopọ̀kọ́: ṣùgbọ́n, inú yín kún fún ìwà búburú àti ìrẹ́jẹ.
And the LORD said to him, “Now you, the Pharisees, make the outside of the cup and of the plate clean, but your inward part is full of robbery and wickedness.
40 Ẹ̀yin aṣiwèrè, ẹni tí ó ṣe èyí tí ń bẹ lóde, òun kò ha ṣe èyí tí ń bẹ nínú pẹ̀lú?
Unthinking [ones]! Did He who made the outside not also make the inside?
41 Nípa ohun ti inú yin, ki ẹ̀yin kúkú máa ṣe ìtọrẹ àánú nínú ohun tí ẹ̀yin ní, sì kíyèsi i, ohun gbogbo ni ó di mímọ́ fún yín.
But what you have given [as] alms, and behold, all things are clean to you.
42 “Ṣùgbọ́n ègbé ni fún yín, ẹ̀yin Farisi, nítorí tí ẹ̀yin a máa san ìdámẹ́wàá minti àti irúgbìn, àti gbogbo ewébẹ̀, ṣùgbọ́n ẹ̀yin kọ ìdájọ́ àti ìfẹ́ Ọlọ́run: wọ̀nyí jẹ́ ohun tí ẹ gbọdọ̀ ṣe, láìsí fi àwọn ìyókù sílẹ̀ láìṣe.
But woe to you, the Pharisees, because you tithe the mint, and the rue, and every herb, and you pass by the judgment and the love of God; these things [you] should do, and those not to be neglecting.
43 “Ègbé ni fún yín, ẹ̀yin Farisi, àgàbàgebè! Nítorí tí ẹ̀yin fẹ́ ipò ọlá nínú Sinagọgu, àti ìkíni ní ọjà.
Woe to you, the Pharisees, because you love the first seats in the synagogues and the salutations in the marketplaces.
44 “Ègbé ni fún un yín, nítorí ẹ̀yin dàbí ibojì tí kò farahàn, tí àwọn ènìyàn sì ń rìn lórí rẹ̀ láìmọ̀.”
Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites, because you are as the unseen tombs, and the men walking above have not known.”
45 Nígbà náà ni ọ̀kan nínú àwọn amòfin dáhùn, ó sì wí fún un pé, “Olùkọ́, nínú èyí tí ìwọ ń wí yìí ìwọ ń gan àwa pẹ̀lú.”
And one of the lawyers answering, says to Him, “Teacher, saying these things, You also insult us”;
46 Ó sì wí pé, “Ègbé ni fún ẹ̀yin amòfin pẹ̀lú, nítorí tí ẹ̀yin di ẹrù tí ó wúwo láti rù lé ènìyàn lórí, bẹ́ẹ̀ ni ẹ̀yin tìkára yín kò jẹ́ fi ìka yín kan ẹrù náà.
and He said, “And to you, the lawyers, woe! Because you burden men with burdens [too] grievous to bear, and you yourselves do not touch the burdens with one of your fingers.
47 “Ègbé ni fún yín, nítorí tí ẹ̀yin kọ́ ibojì àwọn wòlíì, tí àwọn baba yín pa.
Woe to you, because you build the tombs of the prophets, and your fathers killed them.
48 Ǹjẹ́ ẹ̀yin jẹ́ ẹlẹ́rìí, ẹ sì ní inú dídùn sí iṣẹ́ àwọn baba yín, nítorí tí wọn pa wọ́n, ẹ̀yin sì kọ́ ibojì wọn.
Then you testify, and are well pleased with the works of your fathers, because they indeed killed them, and you build their tombs;
49 Nítorí èyí ni ọgbọ́n Ọlọ́run sì ṣe wí pé, ‘Èmi ni ó rán àwọn wòlíì àti àwọn aposteli sí wọn, wọn ó sì ṣe inúnibíni sí wọn.’
because of this also the wisdom of God said: I will send to them prophets, and apostles, and some of them they will kill and persecute,
50 Kí a lè béèrè ẹ̀jẹ̀ àwọn wòlíì gbogbo, tí a ti ta sílẹ̀ láti ìgbà ìpilẹ̀ṣẹ̀ ayé wá, lọ́wọ́ ìran yìí;
that the blood of all the prophets, that is being poured forth from the foundation of the world, may be required from this generation—

from the blood of Abel to the blood of Zacharias, who perished between the altar and the house; yes, I say to you, it will be required from this generation.
52 “Ègbé ni fún yín, ẹ̀yin amòfin, nítorí tí ẹ̀yin ti mú kọ́kọ́rọ́ ìmọ̀ kúrò; ẹ̀yin tìkára yín kò wọlé, àwọn tí sì ń wọlé, ni ẹ̀yin ń dí lọ́wọ́.”
Woe to you, the lawyers, because you took away the key of the knowledge; you yourselves did not enter; and you hindered those coming in.”
53 Bí ó ti ń lọ kúrò níbẹ̀, àwọn akọ̀wé àti àwọn Farisi bẹ̀rẹ̀ sí bi í lọ́rọ̀ gidigidi, wọ́n sì ń yọ ọ́ lẹ́nu láti wí nǹkan púpọ̀.
And in His speaking these things to them, the scribes and the Pharisees began fearfully to urge and to press Him to speak about many things,
54 Wọ́n ń ṣọ́ ọ, wọ́n ń wá ọ̀nà láti rí nǹkan gbámú lẹ́nu kí wọn bá à lè fi ẹ̀sùn kàn án.
laying wait for Him, and seeking to catch something out of His mouth, that they might accuse Him.
