< Luke 11 >

1 When he finished praying in a certain place, one of his disciples said to him, “Lord, teach us to pray, just as John also taught his disciples.”
Gwahunule usikhiU Yisu upu eusayaga mwene, ukhongiyumo ambulile, “Itwa, utumanyisye ufwe ukhwisaya ndu Yohani umuavaama nyisye avakhongi vamwene.'
2 He said to them, “When you pray, say, ‘Our Father in heaven, may your name be kept holy. May your Kingdom come. May your will be done on earth, as it is in heaven.
U Yisu akhavavula, vumukhisaya, 'Munjovage, 'Dada, ilitawa lyako limikhiwe. uvutwa wakho winchage.
3 Give us day by day our daily bread.
Utupinchage ikhisyesye kyitu ikya sikhu nchoni.
4 Forgive us our sins, for we ourselves also forgive everyone who is indebted to us. Bring us not into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one.’”
Utusyiekhilage inogwa nchitu, ndavutukhuvasyikhila avange voni avatunangile. Utatuvikhaga indugelo.”
5 He said to them, “Which of you, if you go to a friend at midnight and tell him, ‘Friend, lend me three loaves of bread,
U Yisu akhavavula, “Veni khulyumwe iva nu gane va mwene, uvikhunelutila pakhilo nu khubula ugane ukhuta unyanchime ifisyesye fidatu.
6 for a friend of mine has come to me from a journey, and I have nothing to set before him,’
Ukhuva umanyani vango anyinchile lino ukhuhuma khusafari, une nilinchila khinu ikya khupa.'
7 and he from within will answer and say, ‘Don’t bother me. The door is now shut, and my children are with me in bed. I can’t get up and give it to you’?
Nulu ungale igati akhanda, ulangata nchaga, undyango gufungiwe na vavana vango, tumalile ukhuluta gwigona saniwesye ukhusisinuka ne khupe uve ikhi syesye.
8 I tell you, although he will not rise and give it to him because he is his friend, yet because of his persistence, he will get up and give him as many as he needs.
Nikhuvavula, ndave sisimkha nu khukhupa ikhisyesye ingave umanyani vakho ikwendelela ukhugonga khisita isoni, isisimukha nu khukhupa ifivungutikhilo inya khisyesye ukhuhwanana nu muvunogelwa uve.
9 “I tell you, keep asking, and it will be given you. Keep seeking, and you will find. Keep knocking, and it will be opened to you.
Navyune nikhuvavula nita, wiwisayage, ayumwikwidikhiwa lomelaga yumwipata, hodenchaga ikhikhuvadintulila.
10 For everyone who asks receives. He who seeks finds. To him who knocks it will be opened.
Ulwakhuva umunu uviavenchaga angadovage vikhupa uviilonda ikhupilila, nu vikhohona vikhudindulila.
11 “Which of you fathers, if your son asks for bread, will give him a stone? Or if he asks for a fish, he won’t give him a snake instead of a fish, will he?
Veni udada mugati indyufwe umwana, angadove isomba ikhupa injokha?
12 Or if he asks for an egg, he won’t give him a scorpion, will he?
Angadove ilikhala ikhupa inge?
13 If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to those who ask him?”
Lino, ulwakhuva umwe mlinuwwivu, mlumanyile ukhuvapa avana vinyu uluhovokhilo ulunonu, lino udada uvakhu kyanya syio fincho? Ukhuta ikhuvapa umepo umbalanche khu vala avikhudova?”
14 He was casting out a demon, and it was mute. When the demon had gone out, the mute man spoke; and the multitudes marveled.
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.
15 But some of them said, “He casts out demons by Beelzebul, the prince of the demons.”
Avange vagelile wakhata uyu ihencha amanguluve aga Beelzebul, umbaha va mnguluve
16 Others, testing him, sought from him a sign from heaven.
Avange vagelile nukhulondo avavonesyie ulugelo ukhuhuma khukyanya.
17 But he, knowing their thoughts, said to them, “Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation. A house divided against itself falls.
Pu u Yisu agamanyile amasago gaaaavene nukhuvavu, “Uvutwa uvuyakhiva vugava yumwa wene, ne khya yiyo yigavile yuyigwa.
18 If Satan also is divided against himself, how will his kingdom stand? For you say that I cast out demons by Beelzebul.
Ingave undugu usetano iva agevile, uvutwa wamwene ayuvukwima ndakhikhi? Ulwakhuva mwinchova, mwita ncheucha amanguluve aga Belzebuli
19 But if I cast out demons by Beelzebul, by whom do your children cast them out? Therefore they will be your judges.
Ingave une nihencha amanguluve ga Beelzebuli, lino avanyinyo vihencha amanguluve khu nchila yilikhu? ulwakhuva iyi, avene yuvikhu vahiga umwe
20 But if I by God’s finger cast out demons, then God’s Kingdom has come to you.
Lino, umwe ingave muhencha amanguluve khu khivokho kya Nguluve, pu uvutwa wa Nguluve vuvinchile.
21 “When the strong man, fully armed, guards his own dwelling, his goods are safe.
Umunu uvyalinamakha alinifilwilo ifyakhulolela uvunjenge wa mwene, ikyuma ni finu fitaneavunonu.
22 But when someone stronger attacks him and overcomes him, he takes from him his whole armor in which he trusted, and divides his plunder.
Lino vangavamile umunu unyamakha ukhulutilila, nu munu uvya linamakha angapokhe ifilwilo vyamwene, nu khutola ikyuma kyamwene kyoni.
23 “He who is not with me is against me. He who doesn’t gather with me scatters.
Umwene uvialikhutali nune hange, khusana khulyune nu khusitaukhulundanya paniye une niyevaniya.
24 The unclean spirit, when he has gone out of the man, passes through dry places, seeking rest; and finding none, he says, ‘I will turn back to my house from which I came out.’
Amanguluve amavivi agagihuma khumunu, gagiluta nu khulonda baho amagasi pungale nu khukhekha. Upuyakhiva awene alemilwe, pu inchova, ninogwa ukhukhilivusukho ukhunahumile.
25 When he returns, he finds it swept and put in order.
Angavuye nu khuvona uvunjenge wa mwene, vukhuniwe nu khutama vunonu.
26 Then he goes and takes seven other spirits more evil than himself, and they enter in and dwell there. The last state of that man becomes worse than the first.”
Lino puiluta khulonda amanguluve 7 avavivi ukhulutilila umwene nu khuvagega vatame upualipo. Nu munu numunu uyo iviva nu vupala fincho, ukhulutilila.”
27 It came to pass, as he said these things, a certain woman out of the multitude lifted up her voice and said to him, “Blessed is the womb that bore you, and the breasts which nursed you!”
Wahumile ukhunchova amamenyu ago udala yumo ahuminche ilimenyu khuvukhali, ukhulutilila khuvoni khululundamano ulwa vanu nu khunchova,
28 But he said, “On the contrary, blessed are those who hear the word of God, and keep it.”
“Ligatalufu ilitumbu ililyakhu holilene livele iliwaohile” Umwene akhanchova akhata vasayiwe avavipulikha ilimenyu lwa Nguluve nu khulivika vunonu.
29 When the multitudes were gathering together to him, he began to say, “This is an evil generation. It seeks after a sign. No sign will be given to it but the sign of Jonah the prophet.
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
30 For even as Jonah became a sign to the Ninevites, so the Son of Man will also be to this generation.
Uvunonu nu Yona upuale nu khuvanesya khu vanu ava khu Ninawi, vuyayiva nu mwana va Adamu uvuyakhivaiva ukhuvonesya khu khisasi ikhi
31 The Queen of the South will rise up in the judgment with the men of this generation and will condemn them, for she came from the ends of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon; and behold, one greater than Solomon is here.
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.
32 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 behold, one greater than Jonah is here.
Avanu va khu Ninawi ayuvikwima khu vuhigi, ulwakhuva va khuti uvusiyiekhilo uva limenyu ilya Yona nu khulola, apa khwale umbaha, ukhulutilila u Yona.
33 “No one, when he has lit a lamp, puts it in a cellar or under a basket, but on a stand, that those who come in may see the light.
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.
34 The lamp of the body is the eye. Therefore when your eye is good, your whole body is also full of light; but when it is evil, your body also is full of darkness.
Iliho lyakho lumuli lwa mbili gwakho iliho ligave linonu nu mbili gwiva inonu gwiva ndumuli.
35 Therefore see whether the light that is in you isn’t darkness.
Lino iliho lyakho lingawe liva liviviv numbili gwiva imbivi gwoni gwiva muhisi. Lino mwilolelaga, ukhuta ulumuli lulwa lulimugati indyumwe lulekhe ukhuvikhiwa ihisi.
36 If therefore your whole body is full of light, having no part dark, it will be wholly full of light, as when the lamp with its bright shining gives you light.”
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.”
37 Now as he spoke, a certain Pharisee asked him to dine with him. He went in and sat at the table.
Avile amalile ukhunejova, Farisayo adovile akhale ikyakhulya khukya ya mwene. Nu U Yisu akhungila mgati nu khuva pa nuye numwene.
38 When the Pharisee saw it, he marveled that he had not first washed himself before dinner.
Na Vafarisayo vakhaswiga ukhuva sakhalave amavokho vusategwile ukhulya ikyakhulya ikhya khukhimihe.
39 The Lord said to him, “Now you Pharisees cleanse the outside of the cup and of the platter, but your inward part is full of extortion and wickedness.
Pu khuludeva akhavavula, “Umwemwi Vafarisayo mwisukha ifikhombe khunchi ne bakhuli, humbe mugati indyumwe mudigile unogwe uvuvi.
40 You foolish ones, didn’t he who made the outside make the inside also?
Umwe mwi vanu yumwe munchila khulumanya, ingave uviapelile khunchi lino sa pele na gati?
41 But give for gifts to the needy those things which are within, and behold, all things will be clean to you.
Vapinchage avaganju agagati ni mbombo nchoni nchiva nonu khulyamwe.
42 But woe to you Pharisees! For you tithe mint and rue and every herb, but you bypass justice and God’s love. You ought to have done these, and not to have left the other undone.
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.
43 Woe to you Pharisees! For you love the best seats in the synagogues and the greetings in the marketplaces.
Mwikyole mwiVafarisayo ukhuva mwinogwa ukhutama mufigoda ifya khuvulongolo khu masinagogi nu khukhuponya ukhufugamo.
44 Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you are like hidden graves, and the men who walk over them don’t know it.”
Mwilolelage mukwanana na mapuvuba aganchila khimanyilo kya munu pe avanu vigenda pa kyanya khista khulunya.”
45 One of the lawyers answered him, “Teacher, in saying this you insult us also.”
Umanyisi yamo uva ndagilo incha vayahudi akhanda nu khuvavula, “Imanyisi, ikhiwinchova khikhutukhalanja nayufwe.”
46 He said, “Woe to you lawyers also! For you load men with burdens that are difficult to carry, and you yourselves won’t even lift one finger to help carry those burdens.
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.
47 Woe to you! For you build the tombs of the prophets, and your fathers killed them.
Mwilolelage ulwakhuva mujenga nukhuvikha ikhi khumbuhincha khu khumapumba agavanyamalago avuvabudiwe na vakhukhu vito.
48 So you testify and consent to the works of your fathers. For they killed them, and you build their tombs.
Lino numwe mukhwidikiwa nu khwidikha khumbombo inchivavobile avakhukhu vito ulwakhuva vavabudile avanyamalago kya mapumba gavene.
49 Therefore also the wisdom of God said, ‘I will send to them prophets and apostles; and some of them they will kill and persecute,
Ulwakhuva khuvunonu uwa Nguluve inchova ita, “Nikhuvasuhila avanyamalago na valumbeleli avene vikhuvatesya nnu khuvabuda avange.
50 that the blood of all the prophets, which was shed from the foundation of the world, may be required of this generation,
Ikhivumbukhu ikhi yukhivomba khukhisa ugwa vanyamalago avuvabudiwe ukhuhuma pavutengulilo wa khilunga,
51 from the blood of Abel to the blood of Zachariah, who perished between the altar and the sanctuary.’ Yes, I tell you, it will be required of this generation.
Ukhuhuma ukhisa gwa Abeli nukhisa ugwa Zakaria, uviabudiwe pagati pa khitekhela pa vuvalanche. Lweli, ni khuvavula umwe, mwe vakhivumbukho ikhi ayukhivomba.
52 Woe to you lawyers! For you took away the key of knowledge. You didn’t enter in yourselves, and those who were entering in, you hindered.”
Mwilolelage mwi vamanyisi va ndagilo incha khiyahudi, ulwakhuva mtolile indindulilo incha vutwa, nu mwe samukhwingila, na vavinogwa ukhwingela, mukhuvakhilwala.”
53 As he said these things to them, the scribes and the Pharisees began to be terribly angry, and to draw many things out of him,
Usikhi u Yisu ugwa khuhega pala, avavigi na Mafarisayo vabelile nu khugatanchiwa nu khuhigiwa, khu mbombo inyingi.
54 lying in wait for him, and seeking to catch him in something he might say, that they might accuse him.
Vagelile ukhumwibeta khumamenyu ga mwene.
