< Luka 11 >

1 Ukatala Matungo Uyesu nakolompa, ung'wi wa amanyisigwa wakwe akamuila, mukulu, kumanyise nusesie kulumpa, anga uyohana nau amisilye iamanyisingwa akwe kulompa.
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.”
2 Uyesu akaila nimukulompa, lungi, Tata, lina lako likuligwe, utemi wako uze.
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.
3 Ukupe indya yitu nia mahiku ihi.
Give us day by day our daily bread.
4 Ukulekele imalandu itu aka use nikia lakala nakugaziiye, uleke kuitwala muimageng'wa.
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.’”
5 Uyesu akaila, nyenyu kitalanyu nukite umuhumba muya nukumuhanga uutiku, nukumuila, muhumba miane mpe imikate itatu.
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,
6 Kunsoko muhumba shuya wane wampikiila inoino kupuma muhinzo, nu ne nimugila indya nikumupa.
for a friend of mine has come to me from a journey, and I have nothing to set before him,’
7 Nuyo nukale mrupumba akamuila, leka kunaja, umulango walugailwa palung'wi niana ane, nune nalala singa kuhuma kuuka nukuupa uewe indya.
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’?
8 Nunuie, kina atizeshukuuka indya umuhumba muya akwe, kunsoko akazulongolekile kumupitya tile niminyala, ukuuka akupe indya yidu kutula nuhilwa wako.
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.
9 Nu ne kumuila, lompi, nunye mukupewa, penzi nunye mukulija, pinduli nunye mukuluguilwa.
“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.
10 kunsoko nuilompa wisingiilya, nuyu nuiduma wipata, pinduli nunye mukuluguilwa.
For everyone who asks receives. He who seeks finds. To him who knocks it will be opened.
11 Tata kii kung'wanyu, ung'waakwe agalompe insamaki ukumupa nzoka?
“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?
12 Ang'wi agalompe ije ukumpa nkumi?
Or if he asks for an egg, he won’t give him a scorpion, will he?
13 Klulo ang'wi unyenye nimiabi mumanyile kuapa iana nyu imasongeelyo nimaza, Ai g'wautata nyu nua nuakigulu ukuapa ung'waungwelu ao nimulo mpa?
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?”
14 Sunga Uyesu akatula mupatya umintunga, Uyu naukete umintunga ai kimume umintunga akahega kumuntu nuanso, umuntu nuanso akahuma kuligitya umitunda ukakuilwa nanguli.
He was casting out a demon, and it was mute. When the demon had gone out, the mute man spoke; and the multitudes marveled.
15 Niang'wi ikalunga, uyu ukuheja imintunga kua Beelzabul mukulu wa amintunga.
But some of them said, “He casts out demons by Beelzebul, the prince of the demons.”
16 Niang'we akamgema ikalowa alagiile ikilingasilyo nikakupuma kilunde.
Others, testing him, sought from him a sign from heaven.
17 Ingi uyesu akalinga imasigo akaaila, utemi wili nukutemanuka utula nuukia, ninyumba nikutemanuka ikugwa.
But he, knowing their thoughts, said to them, “Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation. A house divided against itself falls.
18 Ang'wi umubi ukutula utemanukile, utemi wakwe ukimaka ule? Kunsoko uenda lunga neenda heja imintunga kua Belzebuli.
If Satan also is divided against himself, how will his kingdom stand? For you say that I cast out demons by Beelzebul.
19 Ang'wi unene neenda heja iamintunga kua Belzebuli, ai iane menda heja imitunga kukiila ntuni? Kunsoko iyi, nianso azizamtwala mulamulwa.
But if I cast out demons by Beelzebul, by whom do your children cast them out? Therefore they will be your judges.
20 Kululo, angwi kuheja amintunga kukiila shala kang'wi Tunda, ingi gwa utemi ukumuhanga.
But if I by God’s finger cast out demons, then God’s Kingdom has come to you.
21 Umunyangulu nukite ishigi angaamilile inyumba kwe, imaintu akwe akikie uza.
“When the strong man, fully armed, guards his own dwelling, his goods are safe.
22 Kululo angingiilwe nu muntu numukiiye ingulu umunyangulu nuanso ukumuhegelya ishige yake, nukuhola insao yakwe yihi.
But when someone stronger attacks him and overcomes him, he takes from him his whole armor in which he trusted, and divides his plunder.
23 Uyu nisha kipalung'wi nu nene, shamiane, nuyu nishawilingiila palung'wi nunene wisambailya.
“He who is not with me is against me. He who doesn’t gather with me scatters.
24 Umintunga numubi nukuhega kumuntu, wenda nikutili imaze kunsoko asupye. Agatule walimila, ukulunga, kusuka nazampumie.
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.’
25 Anga asuke ahange inyumba apyagulwa hangi ikie iza.
When he returns, he finds it swept and put in order.
26 Kululo wilongola kuaduma amintunga mupungati ao bi kukila nuanso, nukualeta ikie pang'wanso, u muntu nuanso witula mubi kukila nazawili ung'wandyo.
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.”
27 Naukuligitya inkani izi, musungu ung'wi akahumbula ululi kukila ihi naiakoli pang'wanso akalunga, “Akembetwa inda naikutugile nimaele naumonkile.”
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!”
28 Sunga akalunga, akembetwa ao neija ulukani lang'wi Tunda nukuluamba.
But he said, “On the contrary, blessed are those who hear the word of God, and keep it.”
29 Umilundo wa antu ukatula kongeeleka, u Yesu akandya kulunga, “Uwileli uwu ingi wileli wa ubi, ukuduma kilinga siilyo, kutile ikilingasiilyo nikikupegwa kukila ikiilingasiilyo ni kang'wa Yona.
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.
30 Anga u Yona naikilingasiilyo kuantu a Ninawi. Uu nungwana wang'wa Adamu ukutula kilingasiilyo kuwileli uwu.
For even as Jonah became a sign to the Ninevites, so the Son of Man will also be to this generation.
31 Umusungu wa Mutemi nuakutakama ukimika uluhiku nula ulamulwa niantu awileli uwu azizapegwa ulamulwa wao, ingi nuanso aupumie kumpelu nihi aze ategeelye uhugu wang'wa Solomoni, na paite ukoli numukulu kukila u Solomoni.
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.
32 Iantu a Ninawi akimika mulamulwa palung'wi niantu niawileli uwu uluhiku la ulamulwa azizaapa uulamulwa, kunsoko nianso aialekile imilandu nu Yona naukutanantya ulukani lang'wi Yunda, hangi goza pang'wanso ukoli numukulu kukila Yona.
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.
33 Kutile umuntu wihi, nuakilya ulumuli aluike mulungu ang'wi pihi akikapu, ingi wakilya nukuika migulya kunsoko akelyo, angawingila muntu wihi ahume kuona uwelu.
“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.
34 Iliho lako lumuli la muili iliho lako angalilule iza umuili wako wihi ukutula nuwelu, iliho lako angalihule ibi umuili wako wihi ukutula kiti.
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.
35 Kululo mihambe uwelu nuukole mitalanyu uleke kukilwa ikiti.
Therefore see whether the light that is in you isn’t darkness.
36 Kululo ang'wi umuili wako ukoli muwelu, hangi kutile ata nuunino nuukoli mukiti. Ingi gwa umuili wako ukutula anga ulumuli nulukupumya uwelu kitalanyu.”
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.”
37 Naiwamala kuligitya, Farisayo akamana enda alye ndya kitalakwe, u Yesu akingila munyumba akatula palung'wi nienso.
Now as he spoke, a certain Pharisee asked him to dine with him. He went in and sat at the table.
38 Imafarisayo ikakuilwa kunsoko shaukalae indya naikili kuletwa.
When the Pharisee saw it, he marveled that he had not first washed himself before dinner.
39 U Yesu akaila, “Unye Mafarisayo mendoja iseme kunzi, mukati anyu mizue insuula nimbi nuubi.
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.
40 Unye antu nimiagila uhugu uyu naumbile kunzi shanga au umbile ne numukati?”
You foolish ones, didn’t he who made the outside make the inside also?
41 Ape iahimbe aya namkati, ni nkani yihi ikutula nza kitalanyu.
But give for gifts to the needy those things which are within, and behold, all things will be clean to you.
42 Kululo isatiko lanyu Mafarisayo, nsoko mipumya imasongeelyo aminanaa numuchicha ni nyenyi yihi niamugunda, kunu mulekile inkani ya tai nukumulowa Itunda, kuna shango mukuleka nimangiza.
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.
43 Isatiko lanyu Mafarisayo kunsoko milowa kikiie kumatuntu akuntongeela amatekeelo nukulamukigwa kua milamu iyi nikilya.
Woe to you Pharisees! For you love the best seats in the synagogues and the greetings in the marketplaces.
44 Isatiko lanyu kunsoko mimpyani niibula ningila ilingasiilyo iantu niza azegenda migulya aibiila nianso singaazeaine.”
Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you are like hidden graves, and the men who walk over them don’t know it.”
45 Mumanyisi ung'wi wa unonelya wa Kiyahudi akasusha akamuila, mumanyisi iki nukukiligitya kakutasha use.
One of the lawyers answered him, “Teacher, in saying this you insult us also.”
46 Yesu akaila isatiko lanyu, unye aminyisi ankani, ingi mendaapa iantu imiligo nisinga ahumile kuminkenka, kunu unye shamaenda miamba ata nayala yanyu.
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.
47 Isatiko lanyu kunsoko mendazenga nukuika ilingasiilyo muibiila ya anyakidagu ao naiabulagilwe niesekulu anyu.
Woe to you! For you build the tombs of the prophets, and your fathers killed them.
48 Kululo gwa unyenye mihangile nukigombya imilimo naiitumile isekulu anyu, kunsoko ikulukulu aiabulagile ianyakidagu, imo nimezenga ilingasiilyo muibiila yao.
So you testify and consent to the works of your fathers. For they killed them, and you build their tombs.
49 Kunsoko iyo uhugu wang'wi Tunda uuliye, kuatuma ianyakidagu neituma milimo ane neenso muakaja nukuabulaga niang'wi.
Therefore also the wisdom of God said, ‘I will send to them prophets and apostles; and some of them they will kill and persecute,
50 Uwileli uwu uziza liilwa ni sakami anyakidagu naiabulagile kupuma ung'wandyo nua unkumbigulu.
that the blood of all the prophets, which was shed from the foundation of the world, may be required of this generation,
51 Kupuma usakami wang'wa Abeli nu Zakaria, naubulagilwe pakati wikumbikilo la ng'waung'welu. Uu, numuie uwileli uwu uzizaliilwa.
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.
52 Isatiko lanyu amanyisi ankani nia Kiyahudi kunsoko mahola ifungulo nia uhugu; unyenye shamendingila, kunu mukuagilya kingila ao niatakile kingila.”
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.”
53 U Yesu naiwahega pang'wanso, akilisa nkani ni Mafarisayo ikatula kumugilya nukikunguma nung'wenso kua nkani idu.
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,
54 Akaze mugema kumutungila ahume kupantika lukani kitalakwe.
lying in wait for him, and seeking to catch him in something he might say, that they might accuse him.
