Luka 11
1 Akatungu kamwi Yesu aliga nasabhwa, oumwi wa abheigisibhwa bhaye namubhwila ati, “Lata Bhugenyi nuchiigishe okusabhwa lwakutyo Yoana eigisishe abheigisibhwa bhaye.”
It happened he was praying in a certain place, and when he stopped, one of his disciples said to him, "Master, teach us how to pray, just as Johntaught his disciples."
2 Yesu nabhabhwila, Mukabha nimusabhwa, mwaike, “Lata, Lisina lyao likusibhwe. Obhukama bhwa bhuje.
So he said to them. "When you pray, say, "Father, hallowed be thy name; May thy kingdom come,
3 Uchiyane ebhilyo bhyeswe ebhya bhuli lunaku.
"Give us day by day our bread for the coming day;
4 Uchisasile obhunyamuke bhweswe, lwakutyo eswe ona echisasila bhona bhanu abhachiyabhila. Waisiga okuchisindika chikaga mumasakwa.”
"Forgive us our sins; for we also forgive everyone who has offended us; "And bring us not into temptation."
5 Yesu nabhabhwila ati, “Niga kwimwe oyo ali no omusani, namujako ingeta, namubhwila, 'musani nuunsakile emikate esatu.
He also said to them. "Suppose you have a friend and you go to him, ‘My friend, lend me three loaves of bread,
6 Kulwokubha omusani wani akinga olyanu okusoka lugendo, kanye nitanachakumulisha.'
"for a friend of mine is come to me from a journey, and I have nothing to set before him.’
7 Mbe kaunu ali munyumba namusubhya ati, siga kunyasha, negaye omulyango, anye na abhana bhani chamamile kubhulili. Nitakutula kwimuka nokukuyana emikate.
"and he from indoors shall answer. ‘Do not pester me. The door is now closed, and my children are with me in bed. I cannot rise and give to you.’
8 Mbe enibhabhwila ati nolwo akabhula okwimuka akuyane emikate awe omusani waye, kulwokubha ousinyilisha okumukononela utananswalo, kemuka nakuyana ebhibhala bhyafu ebhye emikate okwinganya na kutyo wamusabhilwe.
"I tell you that, though he will not rise and give to him because he is his friend, yet because of his importunate persistence he will rise and give him whatever he needs.
9 Mbe anyone enibhabhwila ati, “Musabhwe, omuja okubhona, mulonde omuja okubhona, mukonone kumulyango omuja okwigulilwa.
"So I say to you. "Ask, and it shall be given to you; seek, and ye shall find; knock and it shall be opened to you.
10 Kulwokubha bhuli munu unu kasabhwa kayanwa, na unu kalonda kabhona, na unu kakonona, abhamwigulila omulyango.
"For he that asks receives, and he who seeks finds, and to him who knocks the door shall be opened.
11 Ali omwibhusi wa kutiki agati yemwe, unu omwana waye kasabhwa inswi ko omwene namuyana namuyana injoka?
"What father is there among you who, if his son asks for a loaf, will give him a stone? Or if he asks for a fish will give him instead a serpent?
12 Amo nasabhwa liuli ko omwene namuyana inge?
"Or if he asks for an egg, will offer him a scorpion?
13 Kulwejo kalabha emwe munyamukile no omumenya okuyana abhana bhemwe ebhiyanwa bhekisi, mbe Esomwana wemwe wa mulwire atabhakila okubha kasosha Mwoyo Mweru kubhanu abhamusabhwa?”
"If you give good gifts to your children, how much more shall the Father who is in heaven give the Holy spirit to those that ask him!"
14 Namala Yesu nagonya lisambwa linu lyaliga litakuloma kumunu, lyejile lyamusokako omunu oyo nabhona obhutulo bhwo okuloma. Abhanu ni bhalugula muno.
Once he was casting out a dumb demon, and when the demon was gone out, the dumb man spoke, and the people wondered.
15 Nawe abhanu bhandi nibhaika ati unu kabhilimya amasambwa kwa Belejebhuli, likulu lya amasambwa.
But some of them said, "It is by Beelzebub, the prince of demons, that he cast out demons."
16 Abhandi nibhamulegeja nibhenda abholeshe echimenyegesho okuoka mulwire.
Others, tempting him, kept seeking from him a sign from heaven.
17 Nawe Yesu namenya ameganilisho gebhwe nabhabhwila ati, “Obhukama bhunu obhwitaganyisha obhwene obhunyalambuka na inyumba inu eitagana eigwa.
He knew their intentions and said to them. "Every kingdom divided against itself is laid waste and house falls upon house.
18 Labha Shetani akabha wokutagana tagana, obhukama bhwaye obhwimelegulu kutiki? Kulwokubha omwaika ati enibhilimya amasambwa kulwa Belejebhuli.
"And if Satan also is divided against himself, how shall his kingdom stand?
19 Labha enigasoshako kulwa Belejebhuli, abhejanyu abhagabhilimya kwa njila ya kutiki? Kulwa injuno eyo, abhaja okubhalamula.
"Do you say that I am casting out demons by the power of Beelzebub? If I then am casting out demons by Beelzebub, by whom are your sons casting them out? They therefore shall be your judges.
20 Nawe labha enibhilimya amasambwa kwa amanaga ga Nyamuanga, mbe obhukama bhwa Nyamuanga bhwabhakingileko.
"But if it is by the finger of God that I am casting out demons, then the kingdom of God is come upon you.
21 Omunu wamanaga ali nechigwato akalinda inyumba yaye, ebhinu bhaye ebhibha bhikobhele.
"When the strong man fully aroused keeps guard over his homestead, his property is undisturbed;
22 Nawe akengililwa no omunu wa amanaga amukilile, owamanaga kamusakula ebhigwato bhaye, namala nagega ebhinu bhaye bhona.
"but when the stronger man attacks him, he takes away from the strong armor in which he was trusting and divides up the spoil.
23 Mbe unu ataliamwi nanye oyo chitasikene, na unu atakusolosha amwi anye kanyalambula.
"He who is not for me is against me, and he who is not gathering with me is scattering.
24 Lisambwa libhibhi likasoka kumunu, eligenda okulonda ao gatali manji koleleki lifung'ame. Likabhulwanowokuja, elyaika ati, 'Enisubha eyo nasokele.
"Whenever a foul spirit is gone out of a man, it roams through waterless places, in search of rest; but when it can find none, it says, ‘I will go back to the house which I have left.’
25 Likasubha, nilisanga inyumba ikukumbilwe na okondele.
When it comes and finds the house completely swept and garnished.
26 Kulwejo eligenda okulonda amasambwa agandi musanju amabhibhi muno okukila elyene niligaleta gaje okwikala omwo. Mbe akekaliye ko omunu oyo akabha kabhibhi muno kukila kutyo aliga ali kubhwambilo.”
"Then it goes off and fetches seven other spirits more wicked than itself, and they go in and live there. And the last state of that man is worse than the first."
27 Mbe nijibha kutya aliga achaika emisango ejo, omugasi umwi asosishe obhulaka bhulela agati ya liijo naika ati, “Inda inu yakwibhuye na amabhele ganu wanenele gana libando.”
It happened while he was saying this, that a certain woman out of the crowd shouted to him, saying, "Blessed is the womb that bore you, and the breast that you have sucked."
28 Nawe omwene nasubhya ati, “Bhanu bhali na amabhando ni bhanu abhongwa nonokugwata omusango gwa Nyamuanga.”
"No, rather," he answered, "blessed are those who listen to the word of God, and keep it."
29 Lyejile liijo lya abhanu lyekofyanya nokwiyongesha, Yesu namba okwaika ati, “Olwibhulo lunu nilunyamuke. Olulonda echimenyegesho, na chitalio echimenyegesho chinu bhaliyabhwa lindi tali chilya echa Yona.
When the crowd were beginning to throng about him he proceeded to say. "This is an evil generation! It seeks a sign, and there shall be no sign be given to it except the sign of Jonah;
30 Kunsonga lwakutyo Yona abhee chimenyegesho kubha Ninawi, nikwo no Omwana wa Adamu alibha chimenyegesho ku lwibhulo lunu.
"for as Jonah became a sign to the Ninevites, so shall the Son of man be to this generation.
31 Olunaku lwa indamu Omugole wa mumalimbe alimelegulu no olwibhulo lunu nalulamula (nalutemela echina), kulwokubha omwene asokele kubhutelo bhwe echalo koleleki aje ategeleshe ombhwengeso bhwa Selemani, kanu alio unu akuliye Selemani.
"The queen of the South shall rise up in Judgement with the men of this generation, and shall condemn them; because she came from the ends of the earth to listen to the wisdom of Solomon, and lo, one greater than Solomon is here!
32 Abhanu bha Ninawi bhalimelegulu ingulu kulunaku olwa indamu nibhalwaika kubhibhi olwibhulo lunu! Kulwokubha Abhaninawi bhatee ebhibhi bhejile bhongwa omusango gwa Yona, mbe lola, anu alio unu akuliye Yona.
"The men of the Nineveh shall stand up in the judgment with his generation and shall condemn it, for they repented at the preaching of Jonah, and lo! one greater than Jonah is here!
33 Atalio omunu wonawona unu kasha itala naitula emwalo muchisute amo emwalo ye echikapo, tali kasha naitula ingulu ye echinu koleleki bhuli munu unu kengila alole obhwelu. Eliso lyao ni tala yo mubhili gwao.
"When one lights a lamp he does not put it in a cellar nor under the bushel, but on a lamp-stand that those who enter may see the light.
34 Eliso lyao likabha lilikisi omubhili gao ogubha guli mu bwelu. Nawe eliso lyao likabha linyamukile mbe omubhili gwao ogubha guli muchisute.
"The lamp of the body is your eye; when your eye is single then your whole body is full of light; but when it is evil your whole body is full of darkness.
35 Kulwejo mwikenge koleleki obhwelu bhunu bhuli Munda yemwe bhutajamo echisute.
"Look carefully! Perhaps that very light of yours is darkness.
36 Kulwejo, labha omubhili gwao gwona guli mubhwelu, na litalio ebhala linu lili muchisute, mbe omubhili gwao ogubha gwingene na itala inu eyaka no okusosha obhwelu kwemwe
"If, however, your whole body is full of light, without having any part dark, it will be wholly radiant with light, as when the lamp illumines you with its bright rays."
37 Ejile amala okwaika, Omufarisayo namukumilila alye ebhilyo ika ewaye, Yesu nengila munyumba neyanja age.
When he had finished speaking a Pharisee asked him to dine with him; so he went in with him and reclined.
38 Mbe Abhafarisayo nibhalugula okuloa nalya ebhilyo bhya kegolo atesabhile
And the Pharisee noticed, to his amazement, that he did not wash his hands before eating,
39 Nawe Lata Bugenyi nabhabhwila ati, “Emwe Abhafarisayo omwosha anja ye ebhikombe na amabhakuli, nawe munda yemwe mwijuye omululu no obhunyamuke.
but the Lord said to him. "You Pharisee do cleanse the outside of your cup or plate, but your secret heart is full of extortion and wickedness.
40 Emwe bhanu mutali na bhumenyi, Unu yangile anja atayangile na munda?
"Foolish men! Did not He who made the outside make the inside also?
41 Muyane abhataka ganu gali munda, amagambo gona nigabha makonde kwemwe.
"Better cleanse what is within, and nothing will be unclean for you.
42 Nawe Jilibhabhona emwe Abhafarisayo, kulwokubha omusosha imwi kwi kumi eyo mubhabhayi no omuchicha na bhuli luganda lwe emikubhi ja mumugunda. Nawe musigile emisango jo obhulengelesi no okwenda Nyamuanga, Nijakisi muno okukola ago obhulengelesi no okwenda Nyamuanga, no obhutasiga okukola agandi ago gona.
"But woe unto you Pharisee! for you tithe mint and rue and every herb, and disregard justice and the love of God; but these you ought to have done, and not leave the other undone.
43 Ejibhabhona Abhafarisayo, kulwokubha omwenda okwiyanja kubhitebhe bhya imbele mumasinagogi nokulamila jinkesha eje chibhalo mumagulilo.
"Woe unto you Pharisee! for you delight in the best seats in the synagogue, and in the salutation in the market-places.
44 Ejibhabhona, kulwokubha omususana ne ebhitulo bhinu bhitali na chibhalikisho bhinu abhanu abhatajako ingulu obhutamenya.”
"Woe unto you! for you are like the tombs which are hidden, and men walk over them unsuspecting."
45 Omwiigisha umwi we ebhilagilo bhye Echiyaudi namusubhya no okumubhwila ati, “Mwiigisha, echo owaika echichinyola eswe ona.”
Hereupon one of the lawyers exclaimed, "But teacher, in saying such things you are also reproaching us also."
46 Yesu naika ati, “Ejibhabhona, abheigisha bhe ebhilagilo! Kulwokubha omubhatwika emijigo misito jinu bhatakutula kwitika, nawe emwe silisili mutajikunyako emijigo ejo nolwo ku chimwi che ebhyala bhyemwe.
"Woe unto you lawyers also!" said Jesus, "for you load men with irksome burdens, and you yourselves will not touch the burdens with one of your fingers.
47 Ejibhabhona, kulwokubha omumbaka nokutulako ebhijukisho ku bhitulo bhya abhalagi bhanu bhetilwe nabha jaji bhemwe.
"Woe to you! for you are building the tombs of the prophets whom you ancestors killed.
48 Kulwejo emwe ona omwikilishanya ne emilimu jinu jakolelwe na bhajaji bhemwe, kulwokubha nichimali bhetile abhalagi bhanu omumbakila ebhijukisho kubhitulo bhyebhwe.
"So you are witnesses, and you consent to the actions of your ancestors. for they killed them, and you build their tombs.
49 Kulwa injuno eyo ona, obhwengeso bhwa Nyamuanga obhwaika ati, 'Enibhatumila abhalagi na jintumwa ona bhalibhanyasha no okwitako abhandi.
"For this reason also said the Wisdom of God. ‘I will send them prophets and apostles; some of them they will kill and some they will persecute;
50 Olwibhulo lunu lulibhusibhwa ingulu ya abhalagi bhanu bhetilwe okwambila kubhwambilo bhwe echalo,
"so that the blood of all the prophets which was shed from the foundation of the world may be required from this generation,
51 okusokelela kumanyinga ga Abeli okukinga ku manyinga ga Zakaria, unu etilwe agati na agati ya amajabhau na kubhweru. Yee, Enibhabhwila emwe, olwibhulo lunu lulibhusibhwa ingulu yejo jona.
"from the blood of Abel to the blood of Zachariah, who perished between the alter and the sanctuary; yes; I tell you, it shall be required of this generation!
52 Jilibhabhona emwe abheigisha bhe ebhilagilo bhya Abhayaudi, kulwokubha mugegele jinfungulujo ja kubhwenge; emwe abhene mutakwingila, na muganyishe bhanu bhaliga nibhengila.”
"Woe to you lawyers, for you have taken away the key of knowledge!’ You yourselves have not entered, and you have hindered those who are trying to enter."
53 Yesu ejile amala okusoka ao, Abhandiki na Abhafarisayo bhamulemele nibhayakana nage ingulu ye emisango myafu.
After he had gone away, the Scribes and the Pharisee began to set themselves vehemently against him, and to cross-question him upon many points,
54 Nibhalegeja okumugwatisha na amagambo gaye.
laying in wait for him, in order to catch a word from his lips.
