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.”
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 N’abagamba nti, “Bwe mubanga musaba mugambanga nti, “‘Kitaffe, Erinnya lyo litukuzibwe, obwakabaka bwo bujje.
So he said to them. "When you pray, say, "Father, hallowed be thy name; May thy kingdom come,
3 Otuwenga buli lunaku emmere yaffe ey’olunaku.
"Give us day by day our bread for the coming day;
4 Era otusonyiwe ebyonoono byaffe, nga naffe bwe tusonyiwa abatukolako ebisobyo. So totutwala mu kukemebwa.’”
"Forgive us our sins; for we also forgive everyone who has offended us; "And bring us not into temptation."
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 also said to them. "Suppose you have a friend and you go to him, ‘My 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 is 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 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 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 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 “Bwe ntyo mbagamba nti, musabe munaaweebwa, munoonye mulizuula, mukonkone era munaggulirwawo.
"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 Kubanga buli asaba, aweebwa, n’oyo anoonya, azuula, era n’oyo akonkona aggulirwawo.
"For he that asks receives, and he who seeks finds, and to him who knocks the door shall be opened.
11 “Ani ku mmwe kitaawe w’omwana, omwana we ng’amusabye ekyennyanja, mu kifo ky’ekyennyanja n’amuwa omusota?
"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 Oba ng’amusabye eggi n’amuwa enjaba?
"Or if he asks for an egg, will offer him a scorpion?
13 Kale obanga mmwe ababi muwa abaana bammwe ebirungi, Kitammwe ali mu ggulu talisinga nnyo okubawa Mwoyo Mutukuvu abo abamusaba?”
"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 Lwali lumu Yesu n’agoba dayimooni ku musajja eyali tayogera. Dayimooni bwe yamuvaako, omusajja oyo n’ayogera, ekibiina ky’abantu ne beewuunya.
Once he was casting out a dumb demon, and when the demon was gone out, the dumb man spoke, and the people wondered.
15 Naye abantu abamu ne bagamba nti, “Agoba baddayimooni, kubanga amaanyi g’akozesa agaggya wa Beeruzebuli omukulu wa baddayimooni!”
But some of them said, "It is by Beelzebub, the prince of demons, that he cast out demons."
16 Abalala ne bamusaba akabonero akava mu ggulu nga bamugezesa.
Others, tempting him, kept seeking 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.
He knew their intentions and said to them. "Every kingdom divided against itself is laid waste and house falls upon house.
18 Noolwekyo, singa Setaani yeerwanyisa yekka obwakabaka bwe buyinza butya okuyimirirawo? Kubanga mugamba nti ngoba baddayimooni ku lwa Beeruzebuli.
"And if Satan also is divided against himself, how shall his kingdom stand?
19 Era obanga Nze ngoba baddayimooni ku bwa Beeruzebuli kale abaana bammwe bo babagoba ku bw’ani? Be bagenda okubasalira omusango.
"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 Naye obanga ngoba baddayimooni mu buyinza bwa Katonda, ekyo kikakasa nti obwakabaka bwa Katonda buzze gye muli.
"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 “Kubanga omuntu ow’amaanyi bw’akuuma amaka ge, nga yenna yeesibye ebyokulwanyisa eby’amaanyi, tewaba ayinza kumutwalako bintu bye.
"When the strong man fully aroused keeps guard over his homestead, his property is undisturbed;
22 Naye omuntu omulala amusinza amaanyi bw’amulumba amuggyako ebyokulwanyisa bye, bye yali yeesiga, n’atwala ebintu bye byonna, n’abigabira abalala.
"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 “Oyo atali ku ludda lwange, mulabe wange, n’oyo atakuŋŋaanyiza wamu nange asaasaanya.
"He who is not for me is against me, and he who is not gathering with me is scattering.
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.’
"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 Bwe guddayo gusanga ennyumba ng’eyereddwa era nga ntegeke.
When it comes and finds the house completely swept and garnished.
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 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 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 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 Naye Yesu n’addamu nti, “Weewaawo, naye balina omukisa abo bonna abawulira ekigambo kya Katonda ne bakigondera.”
"No, rather," he answered, "blessed are those who listen to 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 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 Kubanga Yona nga bwe yali akabonero eri abantu b’e Nineeve, n’Omwana w’Omuntu, bw’ajja okuba eri ab’omulembe guno.
"for as Jonah became a sign to the Ninevites, so shall the Son of man 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 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 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 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 “Omuntu takoleeza ttaala n’agikweka, oba n’agivuunikako ekibbo! Naye agiwanika ku kikondo ky’ettaala n’emulisiza bonna abayingira basobole okulaba.
"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 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 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 Noolwekyo weekuume ekizikiza kireme kugoba musana oguli mu ggwe.
"Look carefully! Perhaps that very light of yours is darkness.
36 Singa omubiri gwo gwonna gujjula omusana, ne gutabaamu kizikiza n’akatono gujja kwakaayakana nga gwe bamulisizzaamu ettaala.”
"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 Awo Yesu bwe yali ng’akyayogera, Omufalisaayo n’amuyita okulya emmere mu maka ge, bw’atyo n’agenda n’ayingira n’atuula okulya.
When he had finished speaking a Pharisee asked him to dine with him; so he went in with him and reclined.
38 Naye Omufalisaayo eyamuyita bwe yalaba nga Yesu atandise okulya nga tasoose kunaaba mu ngalo, ne yeewuunya.
And the Pharisee noticed, to his amazement, that he did not wash his hands before eating,
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.
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 Basirusiru mmwe eyakola ebweru si ye yakola ne munda?
"Foolish men! 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.
"Better cleanse what is within, and nothing will be unclean for 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 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 “Zibasanze mmwe Abafalisaayo! Kubanga mwagala nnyo okutuula ku ntebe ez’ekitiibwa mu makuŋŋaaniro, era n’okulamusibwa mu butale ng’abantu babawa ekitiibwa.
"Woe unto you Pharisee! for you delight in the best seats in the synagogue, and in the salutation in the market-places.
44 “Zibasanze! Kubanga muli ng’amalaalo, agatalabika abantu kwe batambulira ng’ekiri munda tebakimanyi.”
"Woe unto you! for you are like the tombs which are hidden, and men walk over them unsuspecting."
45 Omu ku bannyonnyozi b’amateeka n’amwanukula nti, “Omuyigiriza bw’oyogera bw’otyo naffe oba ng’atuvumiddemu.”
Hereupon one of the lawyers exclaimed, "But teacher, in saying such things you are also reproaching 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.
"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 “Zibasanze! Kubanga muzimbira bannabbi ebijjukizo, so nga bajjajjammwe be baabatta.
"Woe to you! for you are building the tombs of the prophets whom you ancestors killed.
48 Noolwekyo mulaga nga bwe muwagira ebikolwa bya bajjajjammwe eby’obutemu. Bo batta ate mmwe ne muzimba ebijjukizo.
"So you are witnesses, and you consent to the actions of your ancestors. 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.’
"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 Era ab’omulembe guno kyemuliva muvunaanibwa olw’omusaayi gwa bannabbi bonna okuviira ddala ku kutondebwa kw’ensi,
"so that the blood of all the prophets which was shed from the foundation of the world may be required from 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 alter and the sanctuary; yes; I tell you, it shall 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 have taken away the key of knowledge!’ You yourselves have not entered, and you have hindered those who are trying to enter."
53 Yesu bwe yava mu nnyumba eyo, Abafalisaayo n’abannyonnyozi b’amateeka ne batandika okumuteganya n’okumukambuwalira ennyo n’okumubuuza ebibuuzo bingi awatali kusalako,
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 nga bamutega bamukwase mu bigambo kwe banaasinziira okumukwata.
laying in wait for him, in order to catch a word from his lips.
