Lukka 11
1 Awo olwatuuka Yesu ng’ali mu kifo ekimu ng’asaba, bwe yamaliriza, omu ku bayigirizwa be n’amugamba nti, “Mukama waffe, naawe tuyigirize okusaba nga Yokaana bwe yayigiriza abayigirizwa be.”
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 N’abagamba nti, “Bwe mubanga musaba mugambanga nti, “‘Kitaffe, Erinnya lyo litukuzibwe, obwakabaka bwo bujje.
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 Otuwenga buli lunaku emmere yaffe ey’olunaku.
Give us day by day our daily bread.
4 Era otusonyiwe ebyonoono byaffe, nga naffe bwe tusonyiwa abatukolako ebisobyo. So totutwala mu kukemebwa.’”
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 Ate n’abagamba nti, “Singa omu ku mmwe alina mukwano gwe, n’ajja gy’ali ekiro mu ttumbi n’amugamba nti, ‘Mukwano gwange, nkusaba ompoleyo emigaati esatu,
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 kubanga nfunye omugenyi, mukwano gwange avudde lugendo, naye sirina kyakulya kya kumuwa.’”
for a friend of mine has come to me from a journey, and I have nothing to set before him,’
7 “Oli ali munda mu nju bw’ayanukula nti, ‘Tonteganya. Twasibyewo dda, ffenna n’abaana bange twebisse. Noolwekyo siyinza kugolokoka kaakano ne mbaako kye nkuwa.’
and he from within will answer and say, ‘Do not bother me. The door is now shut, and my children are with me in bed. I cannot get up and give it to you’?
8 Naye mbategeeza nti, Newaakubadde nga tagolokoka n’amuyamba nga mukwano gwe, naye, singa akonkona n’amwetayirira, alwaddaaki agolokoka n’amuwa by’amusabye.
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 “Bwe ntyo mbagamba nti, musabe munaaweebwa, munoonye mulizuula, mukonkone era munaggulirwawo.
“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 Kubanga buli asaba, aweebwa, n’oyo anoonya, azuula, era n’oyo akonkona aggulirwawo.
For everyone who asks receives. He who seeks finds. To him who knocks it will be opened.
11 “Ani ku mmwe kitaawe w’omwana, omwana we ng’amusabye ekyennyanja, mu kifo ky’ekyennyanja n’amuwa omusota?
“Which of you fathers, if your son asks for bread, will give him a stone? Or if he asks for a fish, he will not give him a snake instead of a fish, will he?
12 Oba ng’amusabye eggi n’amuwa enjaba?
Or if he asks for an egg, he will not give him a scorpion, will he?
13 Kale obanga mmwe ababi muwa abaana bammwe ebirungi, Kitammwe ali mu ggulu talisinga nnyo okubawa Mwoyo Mutukuvu abo abamusaba?”
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 Lwali lumu Yesu n’agoba dayimooni ku musajja eyali tayogera. Dayimooni bwe yamuvaako, omusajja oyo n’ayogera, ekibiina ky’abantu ne beewuunya.
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 Naye abantu abamu ne bagamba nti, “Agoba baddayimooni, kubanga amaanyi g’akozesa agaggya wa Beeruzebuli omukulu wa baddayimooni!”
But some of them said, “He casts out demons by Beelzebul, the prince of the demons.”
16 Abalala ne bamusaba akabonero akava mu ggulu nga bamugezesa.
Others, testing him, sought from him a sign from heaven.
17 Naye Yesu bwe yamanya ebirowoozo byabwe, kwe kubagamba nti, “Obwakabaka bwe bulwanagana bwokka, buba bwolekedde kuzikirira, amaka bwe gayawukanamu gokka ne gokka gasasika.
But he, knowing their thoughts, said to them, “Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation. A house divided against itself falls.
18 Noolwekyo, singa Setaani yeerwanyisa yekka obwakabaka bwe buyinza butya okuyimirirawo? Kubanga mugamba nti ngoba baddayimooni ku lwa Beeruzebuli.
If Satan also is divided against himself, how will his kingdom stand? For you say that I cast out demons by Beelzebul.
19 Era obanga Nze ngoba baddayimooni ku bwa Beeruzebuli kale abaana bammwe bo babagoba ku bw’ani? Be bagenda okubasalira omusango.
But if I cast out demons by Beelzebul, by whom do your children cast them out? Therefore they will be your judges.
20 Naye obanga ngoba baddayimooni mu buyinza bwa Katonda, ekyo kikakasa nti obwakabaka bwa Katonda buzze gye muli.
But if I by God’s finger cast out demons, then God’s Kingdom has come to you.
21 “Kubanga omuntu ow’amaanyi bw’akuuma amaka ge, nga yenna yeesibye ebyokulwanyisa eby’amaanyi, tewaba ayinza kumutwalako bintu bye.
“When the strong man, fully armed, guards his own dwelling, his goods are safe.
22 Naye omuntu omulala amusinza amaanyi bw’amulumba amuggyako ebyokulwanyisa bye, bye yali yeesiga, n’atwala ebintu bye byonna, n’abigabira abalala.
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 “Oyo atali ku ludda lwange, mulabe wange, n’oyo atakuŋŋaanyiza wamu nange asaasaanya.
“He who is not with me is against me. He who does not gather with me scatters.
24 “Omwoyo ogutali mulongoofu bwe guva mu muntu guyita mu malungu nga gunoonya aw’okuwummulira. Bwe gubulwa, gugamba nti, ‘Nzija kuddayo mu nnyumba mwe nava.’
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 Bwe guddayo gusanga ennyumba ng’eyereddwa era nga ntegeke.
When he returns, he finds it swept and put in order.
26 Kyeguva gugenda ne gufunayo emyoyo emirala musanvu egigusingako obwonoonefu, ne giyingirira omuntu oyo. Kale embeera y’omuntu oyo ey’oluvannyuma n’ebeera mbi nnyo okusinga eyasooka.”
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 Awo Yesu bwe yali ng’akyayogera ebigambo ebyo, omukazi eyali mu kibiina n’ayogerera waggulu nti, “Lulina omukisa olubuto olwakuzaala, n’amabeere kwe wayonka!”
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 Naye Yesu n’addamu nti, “Weewaawo, naye balina omukisa abo bonna abawulira ekigambo kya Katonda ne bakigondera.”
But he said, “On the contrary, blessed are those who hear the word of God, and keep it.”
29 Awo abantu bwe beeyongera okukuŋŋaana abangi, Yesu n’abayigiriza ng’agamba nti, “Omulembe guno mulembe mubi. Gunoonya akabonero, naye tegujja kukaweebwa okuggyako akabonero aka 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 Kubanga Yona nga bwe yali akabonero eri abantu b’e Nineeve, n’Omwana w’Omuntu, bw’ajja okuba eri ab’omulembe guno.
For even as Jonah became a sign to the Ninevites, so the Son of Man will also be to this generation.
31 Era ku lunaku olw’okusalirako omusango, kabaka omukazi ow’omu bukiikaddyo alisaliza abantu ab’omulembe guno omusango okubasinga, kubanga yava ku nkomerero y’ensi okujja okuwuliriza amagezi ga Sulemaani, naye oyo asinga Sulemaani ali wano.
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 Abantu b’e Nineeve baliyimirira ne basaliza abantu b’omulembe guno omusango okubasinga, kubanga beenenya bwe baawulira okubuulira kwa Yona Naye laba asinga Yona ali wano.”
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 “Omuntu takoleeza ttaala n’agikweka, oba n’agivuunikako ekibbo! Naye agiwanika ku kikondo ky’ettaala n’emulisiza bonna abayingira basobole okulaba.
“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 Eriiso y’ettabaaza y’omubiri gwo. Eriiso bwe liba eddamu, n’omubiri gwo gwonna guba gujjudde omusana. Naye eriiso bwe liba eddwadde, omubiri gwo gujjula ekizikiza.
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 Noolwekyo weekuume ekizikiza kireme kugoba musana oguli mu ggwe.
Therefore see whether the light that is in you is not darkness.
36 Singa omubiri gwo gwonna gujjula omusana, ne gutabaamu kizikiza n’akatono gujja kwakaayakana nga gwe bamulisizzaamu ettaala.”
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 Awo Yesu bwe yali ng’akyayogera, Omufalisaayo n’amuyita okulya emmere mu maka ge, bw’atyo n’agenda n’ayingira n’atuula okulya.
Now as he spoke, a certain Pharisee asked him to dine with him. He went in and sat at the table.
38 Naye Omufalisaayo eyamuyita bwe yalaba nga Yesu atandise okulya nga tasoose kunaaba mu ngalo, ne yeewuunya.
When the Pharisee saw it, he marveled that he had not first washed himself before dinner.
39 Awo Mukama waffe n’amugamba nti, “Mmwe Abafalisaayo, munaaza kungulu ku kikopo ne ku ssowaani, naye nga munda wammwe mujjudde omululu n’ebitali bya butuukirivu.
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 Basirusiru mmwe eyakola ebweru si ye yakola ne munda?
You foolish ones, did not he who made the outside make the inside also?
41 Naye singa munaddira ebiri munda ne mubiwaayo ng’ekiweebwayo, olwo buli kintu kinaaba kirongoofu eri Katonda.
But give for gifts to the needy those things which are within, and behold, all things will be clean to you.
42 “Zibasanze mmwe Abafalisaayo! Kubanga muwaayo ekimu eky’ekkumi ku buli kyonna kye mufuna, ne ku buli kika kya muddo oguwunyisa obulungi era oguwoomesa enva, naye ne mutassaayo mwoyo ku bwenkanya n’okwagala Katonda. Kirungi okukola ebyo byonna, naye era n’ebirala temusaanye kubiragajjalira.
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 “Zibasanze mmwe Abafalisaayo! Kubanga mwagala nnyo okutuula ku ntebe ez’ekitiibwa mu makuŋŋaaniro, era n’okulamusibwa mu butale ng’abantu babawa ekitiibwa.
Woe to you Pharisees! For you love the best seats in the synagogues and the greetings in the marketplaces.
44 “Zibasanze! Kubanga muli ng’amalaalo, agatalabika abantu kwe batambulira ng’ekiri munda tebakimanyi.”
Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you are like hidden graves, and the men who walk over them do not know it.”
45 Omu ku bannyonnyozi b’amateeka n’amwanukula nti, “Omuyigiriza bw’oyogera bw’otyo naffe oba ng’atuvumiddemu.”
One of the lawyers answered him, “Teacher, in saying this you insult us also.”
46 Yesu n’amuddamu nti, “Nammwe zibasanze abannyonnyozi b’amateeka! Kubanga mutikka abantu emigugu emizito egy’amateeka g’eddiini, so nga mmwe temusobola na kukwata na lugalo lwammwe ku migugu egyo.
He said, “Woe to you lawyers also! For you load men with burdens that are difficult to carry, and you yourselves will not even lift one finger to help carry those burdens.
47 “Zibasanze! Kubanga muzimbira bannabbi ebijjukizo, so nga bajjajjammwe be baabatta.
Woe to you! For you build the tombs of the prophets, and your fathers killed them.
48 Noolwekyo mulaga nga bwe muwagira ebikolwa bya bajjajjammwe eby’obutemu. Bo batta ate mmwe ne muzimba ebijjukizo.
So you testify and consent to the works of your fathers. For they killed them, and you build their tombs.
49 Noolwekyo Katonda mu magezi ge, kyeyava agamba nti, ‘Ndibaweereza bannabbi n’abatume, abamu balibatta n’abalala balibayigganya.’
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 Era ab’omulembe guno kyemuliva muvunaanibwa olw’omusaayi gwa bannabbi bonna okuviira ddala ku kutondebwa kw’ensi,
that the blood of all the prophets, which was shed from the foundation of the world, may be required of this generation,
51 okuva ku musaayi gwa Aberi okutuuka ku musaayi gwa Zaakaliya, eyattirwa wakati w’ekyoto ky’ebiweebwayo ne yeekaalu. Mmwe ab’omulembe guno mbategeeza nti mugenda kuvunaanibwa olw’ebyo byonna.
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 “Zibasanze, mmwe abannyonnyozi b’amateeka! Kubanga mwafuna ekisumuluzo eky’amagezi naye mmwe bennyini ne mutayingira, ate ne muziyiza n’abalala okuyingira.”
Woe to you lawyers! For you took away the key of knowledge. You did not enter in yourselves, and those who were entering in, you hindered.”
53 Yesu bwe yava mu nnyumba eyo, Abafalisaayo n’abannyonnyozi b’amateeka ne batandika okumuteganya n’okumukambuwalira ennyo n’okumubuuza ebibuuzo bingi awatali kusalako,
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 nga bamutega bamukwase mu bigambo kwe banaasinziira okumukwata.
lying in wait for him, and seeking to catch him in something he might say, that they might accuse him.
