Luke 11
1 One day in a place where Jesus had just finished praying, one of His disciples requested, “Lord, teach us to pray, just as John taught his disciples.”
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.”
2 So Jesus told them, “When you pray, say: ‘Father, hallowed be Your name. Your kingdom come.
A Yeshu gubhaabhalanjilenje, “Punkwaajuganga a Nnungu, mmeleketanje nnei, ‘Atati nni kunnungu, lina lyenu likuywe, Upalume gwenu uishe.
3 Give us each day our daily bread.
Ntupe shalya shetu mobha gowe.
4 And forgive us our sins, for we also forgive everyone who sins against us. And lead us not into temptation.’”
Ntuleshelele yambi yetu, Pabha numbe uwe tunakwaaleshelelanga bhowe bhakutulebhanga, Nnatubhishe mmalinjilo, ikabhe ntutapule na jwangali jwa mmbone jula.’”
5 Then Jesus said to them, “Suppose one of you goes to his friend at midnight and says, ‘Friend, lend me three loaves of bread,
Kungai gubhaalugulilenje, Gani akwete mbwiga nnjakwe, nikunnjendela pakati shilo, nikummalanjila, shonde mbwiga nnjangu unyaime mikate jitatu,
6 because a friend of mine has come to me on a journey, and I have nothing to set before him.’
pabha mmbwiga nnjangu ashiika kukopoka mmwanja, na nne nangali sha kumpa.
7 And suppose the one inside answers, ‘Do not bother me. My door is already shut, and my children and I are in bed. I cannot get up to give you anything.’
Na jwalakwe ali nnyumba pemo akajangwile, unang'abhuye! Nne nnaino ng'ugele nnango. Nne na ashibhanangu tugonile, ngakombola jumuka kukuupa!
8 I tell you, even though he will not get up to provide for him because of his friendship, yet because of the man’s persistence, he will get up and give him as much as he needs.
Nkali anajumushe nikumpa kwa ligongo lyabha mmbwiga mwine, ikabheje, kwa ligongo lya punda juga, shajumushe nikumpa shoshowe shaajuga.
9 So I tell you: Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and the door will be opened to you.
Kwa nneyo, mmanganya nnjuganje, shimpegwanje, nnoleyanje, shimpatanje, nng'olishiyanje, shinng'ugulilwanje.
10 For everyone who asks receives; he who seeks finds; and to him who knocks, the door will be opened.
Pabha jojowe ajuga anapegwa, aloleya anapata, na aolishiya anaugulilwa.
11 What father among you, if his son asks for a fish, will give him a snake instead?
Igala nng'inamundu jwashi mwanagwe anjugaga shamaki, shampe lijoka paala pa shamaki?
12 Or if he asks for an egg, will give him a scorpion?
Eu ajugaga liji, bhampe shibhalabhala?
13 So if you who are evil know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father in heaven give the Holy Spirit to those who ask Him!”
Nkali mmanganya, nninginji mmangalinginji bha mmbone, nnakwaapanganga ashibhana bhenu indu ya mmbone. Bhuli, Ainabhenunji bha kunnungu bhakapunda kwaapanganga Mbumu jwa Ukonjelo, bhene bhakwaajuganga bhala?
14 One day Jesus was driving out a demon that was mute. And when the demon was gone, the man who had been mute spoke. The crowds were amazed,
Lyubha limo a Yeshu bhatendaga kunshoya lioka antendaga mundu jumo abhe bhubhu. Bhai lioka jula akanshosheje, mundu jula gwakombwele kubheleketa, lugwinjili lwa bhandu lukukanganigwaga.
15 but some of them said, “It is by Beelzebul, the prince of the demons, that He drives out demons.”
Ikabheje bhandunji bhana gubhashitenje, “Bhanashoya maoka kwa mashili gaka Bhelishebhuli nkulungwa jwa maoka.”
16 And others tested Him by demanding a sign from heaven.
Bhananji nkwaalinga, gubhapinjilenje bhatende ilapo, imanyishe kuti mashili gabho, gaakopoka kwa a Nnungu.
17 Knowing their thoughts, Jesus said to them, “Every kingdom divided against itself will be laid waste, and a house divided against a house will fall.
Ikabheje a Yeshu bhaimanyi ng'aniyo yabhonji, gubhaalugulilenje, “Upalume gogowe ugabhanikaga ukalonjeya, likaja lyolyowe lilekanaga shilipalaganishe.
18 If Satan is divided against himself, how can his kingdom stand? After all, you say that I drive out demons by Beelzebul.
Monaga Lishetani anakwikana nnyene, upalume gwakwe shuulonjeye bhuli? Bhai ngunabheleketa nnei pabha nnanugulanga kuti, ngunashoya maoka kwa mashili gaka Bhelishebhuli?
19 And if I drive out demons by Beelzebul, by whom do your sons drive them out? So then, they will be your judges.
Monaga nne ngushoya maoka kwa mashili gaka Bhelishebhuli, bhaakagula bhenunji bhashoyanga maoka kwa mashili gaka gani? Kwa nneyo, bhanganyabho shibhanng'ukumulanje.
20 But if I drive out demons by the finger of God, then the kingdom of God has come upon you.
Monaga ngushoya maoka kwa mashili ga a Nnungu, bhai mmumanyanje kuti Upalume gwa a Nnungu unng'ishilenje.”
21 When a strong man, fully armed, guards his house, his possessions are secure.
Mundu akwete mashili ali na ikomanilo yakwe, atamaga muulinda gwa nyumba jakwe, indu yakwe yowe shiilame.
22 But when someone stronger attacks and overpowers him, he takes away the armor in which the man trusted, and then he divides up his plunder.
Ikabheje aikaga akwete mashili ga kumpunda nikunkombola, jwenejo shampokonyole ikomanilo yakwe yowe yaikulupalilaga na kumpokonyola indu yakwe.
23 He who is not with Me is against Me, and he who does not gather with Me scatters.
Jojowe akakwiilunda na nne, anaangana na jojowe akalopola na nne, anajaanga.
24 When an unclean spirit comes out of a man, it passes through arid places seeking rest and does not find it. Then it says, ‘I will return to the house I left.’
“Lioka jwangali jwa mmbone abhingwaga kukamundu, anapita jimajima nng'anga kuloleya pa pumulila. Akapabhone anakwibhalanjila, ‘Shimuje kundamo jangu.’
25 On its return, it finds the house swept clean and put in order.
Abhujaga nikujiimana nyumba jila jipajilwe na jikonjeleywe,
26 Then it goes and brings seven other spirits more wicked than itself, and they go in and dwell there. And the final plight of that man is worse than the first.”
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.”
27 As Jesus was saying these things, a woman in the crowd raised her voice and said, “Blessed is the womb that bore You, and blessed are the breasts that nursed You!”
Bhalibheleketa genego, bhakongwe bhamo nnugwinjili lwa bhandunji lula, kwa lilobhe lya utiya gubhashite, “Mbaya bhakongwe bhankwete na libhele linnjonjile.”
28 But He replied, “Blessed rather are those who hear the word of God and obey it.”
Ikabheje a Yeshu gubhashite, “Mbaya kaje bhene bhakulipilikananga lilobhe lya a Nnungu nikunda.”
29 As the crowds were increasing, Jesus said, “This is a wicked generation. It demands a sign, but none will be given it except the sign of Jonah.
Lugwinjili lwa bhandu lukajenjeshesheje, a Yeshu gubhaabhalanjilenje, “Alu lubheleko lwa lebha, lunapinga shilangulo. Ikabheje lukapegwa shilangulo shoshowe ikabhe shilangulo sha a Yona.
30 For as Jonah was a sign to the Ninevites, so the Son of Man will be a sign to this generation.
A Yona bhaliji shilangulo sha bhandunji bha ku Ninawi, nneyo peyo Mwana juka Mundu shapingabha shilangulo kwa lwene lubhelekolu.
31 The Queen of the South will rise at the judgment with the men of this generation and condemn them; for she came from the ends of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon, and now One greater than Solomon is here.
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.
32 The men of Nineveh will stand at the judgment with this generation and condemn it; for they repented at the preaching of Jonah, and now One greater than Jonah is here.
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!
33 No one lights a lamp and puts it in a cellar or under a basket. Instead, he sets it on a stand, so those who enter can see the light.
“Jwakwa mundu akoleya kandilili nikujiunishila eu nikujiiya, ikabhe pakujibhika panani itengu nkupinga bhandunji bhaajinjilangana bhashibhonanje shilangaya.
34 Your eye is the lamp of your body. When your eyes are good, your whole body also is full of light. But when they are bad, your body is full of darkness.
Liyo lyenu ni kandili ja shiilu shenu, libhaga lyalikoto, shiilu showe shishibhe nshilangaya. Liyo lyenu likalole, shiilu shenu shishibhe nnubhindu.
35 Be careful, then, that the light within you is not darkness.
Bhai mwiiteije, shilangaya shinkwetesho shinatendebhushe kubha lubhindu.
36 So if your whole body is full of light, with no part of it in darkness, you will be radiant, as though a lamp were shining on you.”
Bhai monaga shiilu shenu showe shikolaga shilangaya gwangali pakwete lubhindu, shene shiilusho shishibhe na shilangaya kwa kaje, malinga kandili shijikuti kummulishila kwa shilangaya shakwe.”
37 As Jesus was speaking, a Pharisee invited Him to dine with him; so He went in and reclined at the table.
A Yeshu bhakabheleketeje genego, Apalishayo bhamo gubhaashemele shalya kunngwabho, gubhapite tama kulya.
38 But the Pharisee was surprised to see that Jesus did not first wash before the meal.
Apalishayo bhala gubhakanganigwe bhakabhoneje kuti bhanalya gwangali kunabha.
39 “Now then,” said the Lord, “you Pharisees clean the outside of the cup and dish, but inside you are full of greed and wickedness.
Bhakulungwa gubhaabhalanjile, “Mmanganya Ashimapalishayo nnaukanganga shikombe na shaani kua, ikabheje nkati nngumbelenje kukwetela indu na yangali ya mmbone.
40 You fools! Did not the One who made the outside make the inside as well?
Mmanganya mmagulumba! Bhuli, aeleye kua nngati jojo aeleye na nkati?
41 But give as alms the things that are within you, and you will see that everything is clean for you.
Bhai nshoyanje mbepei kwa indu inkwetenje, na yowe shiinkonjelanje.”
42 Woe to you Pharisees! You pay tithes of mint, rue, and every herb, but you disregard justice and the love of God. You should have practiced the latter without neglecting the former.
“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.”
43 Woe to you Pharisees! You love the chief seats in the synagogues and the greetings in the marketplaces.
“Ole Ashimapalishayo, pabha nnapinganga kutama itengu ya mmujo mmashinagogi, na komaywa pa lugwinjili.
44 Woe to you! For you are like unmarked graves, which men walk over without even noticing.”
Ole, pabha nshibhanganga mbuti makabhuli gangabhikwa shilangulo, bhandunji bhalilibhatanga pantundu jakwe gwangali kumumanya.”
45 One of the experts in the law told Him, “Teacher, when You say these things, You insult us as well.”
Bhaajiganya bhamo bha shalia, gubhaalugulile, “Mmaajiganya, malobhe genu ganakutupetekuya nkali uwe.”
46 “Woe to you as well, experts in the law!” He replied. “You weigh men down with heavy burdens, but you yourselves will not lift a finger to lighten their load.
A Yeshu gubhaajangwile, “Na mmanganya mmaajiganya bha shalia ole, pabha nnakwaatwikanga bhandunji mishigo jatopa jikajigalika, akuno mwaashayene nkaakwayanga nkali kwa lukowe lumo kwaajangutanga.
47 Woe to you! You build tombs for the prophets, but it was your fathers who killed them.
Ole, pabha nnashenjelanga makabhuli ga ashinkulondola bha a Nnungu bhabhulegwenje na bhanangulungwa bhenunji.
48 So you are witnesses consenting to the deeds of your fathers: They killed the prophets, and you build their tombs.
Kwa nneyo nnakong'ondelanga itendi ya bhanangulungwa bhenunji, pabha bhashikwabhulaganga ashinkulondola bha a Nnungu, na mmanganya nnashenjelanga makabhuli gabhonji.
49 Because of this, the wisdom of God said, ‘I will send them prophets and apostles; some of them they will kill and others they will persecute.’
Kwa nneyo, kwa Lumanyiyo lwa a Nnungu gubhashite, ‘Shinaapeleshelanje ashinkulondola na mitume, ikabheje bhananji shibhaabhulaganje, na bhananji shibhaapotekanje.’
50 As a result, this generation will be charged with the blood of all the prophets that has been shed since the foundation of the world,
Kwa nneyo lwene lubhelekolu lupingagambwa kwa ligongo lya minyai ja ashinkulondola bha a Nnungu bhowe, bhabhulegwenje kuumila ku ndandubho ja shilambolyo.
51 from the blood of Abel to the blood of Zechariah, who was killed between the altar and the sanctuary. Yes, I tell you, all of it will be charged to this generation.
Kutandubhila kubhulagwa kwa a Abheli mpaka a Shakalia bhabhulegwe pakati pakati shitala na pa ukonjelo. Elo, ngunakummalanjilanga lwene lubhelekolu shilugambwe kwa yene itendiyo.
52 Woe to you experts in the law! For you have taken away the key to knowledge. You yourselves have not entered, and you have hindered those who were entering.”
“Ole gwenunji mmanganya bhaajiganya bha shalia, pabha nshishoyanga nshungulo gwa nnango gwa lumanyiyo, mwaashayene mwangajinjilanga na bhajinjilanga bhala nshikwaibhililanga bhanajinjilanje.”
53 As Jesus went on from there, the scribes and Pharisees began to oppose Him bitterly and to ply Him with questions about many things,
A Yeshu bhakakoposheje mwemula, ashimapalishayo na bhaajiganya bha shalia bhala gubhatandubhenje kwaashimanga na kwaatega kwa ibhuyo yaigwinji,
54 waiting to catch Him in something He might say.
nkupinga bhapatanje mwakwaakamulila kwa malobhe gabho.
