Luka 6
1 Yesu abile atipeta mu, migunda ya nafaka ni banapunzi bake babile bakitombwanga masuke, bakabasungwanga kati ya luboko lwake bandaliya nafaka.
One Sabbath while Jesus was walking through grainfields, his disciples began picking some heads of grain, rubbing them in their hands, and eating them.
2 Lakini baadhi ya mafarisayo batibaya, “namani upanga kikowe ambacho halali kwaa kisheria kukipanga lichoba lya sabato”?
Some of the Pharisees questioned him, asking, “Why are you doing what is not permitted on the Sabbath?”
3 Yesu atikubajibu, akibaya, “muwaite kwaa soma chelo Daudi chakipangite pabile ni njala, ywembe ni banarome bababile pamope nakwe.
Jesus replied, “Have you never read what David did when he and his men were hungry?
4 Atiyenda mu'nyumba ya Nnongo, ni atolite libumunda litakatifu na liya baadhi, ni kuiboya baadhi kwa bandu bababile nakwe lyaa, hatakama ibile halali kwa makuhani lyaa.”
How he went into the house of God and took the consecrated bread? He ate it, and gave it to his men too. That's not permitted either. The consecrated bread is only for the priests.”
5 Boka po atikuwabakiya, “mwana wa Adamu ni Ngwana wa sabato.”
Then he told them, “The Son of man is Lord of the Sabbath.”
6 Yabonekine mu'sabato yenge kwamba atiyenda nkati ya sinagogi ni kubapundisha bandu kwa pabile ni mundu ambaye luboko lwake lwa mmaliyo watipooza.
On another Sabbath he went into the synagogue to teach. A man was there with a crippled right hand.
7 Baandishi ni mafarisayo babile banda kunlinga kwa makini bona kati anyeponya mundu lichoba lya sabato, ili wecha pata sababu ya kumshitaki kwa panga likosa.
The religious teachers and the Pharisees were observing Jesus closely to see if he would heal on the Sabbath. They wanted to find something to accuse him of.
8 Lakini atangite namna cha fikiria na baya kwa mundu ywabile atipooza luboko uyumuka uyema pana kati ya kila yumo.” Nga nyo yolo mundu atikakatuka ni yema palo.
But Jesus knew what was in their minds. He told the man with the crippled hand, “Get up, and stand here in front of everyone.” The man got up and stood there.
9 Yesu atibaya kwabe, “ninda kuwalokiya mwenga ni halali lichoba lya sabato panga mema au panga madharau, kuokoa maisha amakuyaaribu, Boka po atikubalinga boti ni kum'bakiya yolo mundu.
Then Jesus turned to them and said, “Let me ask you a question. Is it legal to do good on the Sabbath, or to do bad? To save life, or to destroy it?”
10 “Nyoosha luboko lwako,” Apangite nyaa, ni luboko lwake labile litinyooka.
He looked round at all of them there. Then he said to the man, “Hold out your hand.” The man did so, and his hand became like new.
11 Lakini batwelile ni hasira, batilongela bene kwa bene husu namani chapaswa apange kwa Yesu.
But they flew into a rage, and began to discuss what they could do to Jesus.
12 Yatibonekana machoba ago kwamba atiyenda pakitombe loba, Aatiyendeleya kilo yoti loba Nnongo.
One day shortly after, Jesus went up a mountain to pray. He remained there all night, praying to God.
13 Paibile bwamba, atikubakema benepunzi bake kwake, ni atikuwachawa komi ni ibele kati yabe, ambao pia atikubakema, “Mitume”
When morning came he called together his disciples, and chose twelve of them. These are the names of the apostles:
14 Majina ya balo mitume yabile Simoni, (ywa pia atikumkema Petro) ni Andrea nnuna wake, Yakobo, Yohana, Filipo, Bartolomayo,
Simon (also called Peter by Jesus), Andrew his brother, James, John, Philip, Bartholomew,
15 Mathayo, Tomaso ni Yakobo mwana wa Alfayo, Simoni ywa akemwa Zelote,
Matthew, Thomas, James the son of Alphaeus, Simon the Revolutionary,
16 Yuda mwana wa Yakobo ni Yuda Iskariote, ywa abile msaliti.
Judas the son of James, and Judas Iscariot (who became a traitor).
17 Boka po Yesu atitelemka pamope nakwe boka mukitombe ni yema mahali palibende. Benepunzi bakr banyansima babile kwo pamope ni bandu benge banyansima boka Uyahudi ni Yerusalem ni boka mbwani ya Tiro na Sidoni. Baichile kumpekanya ni ponywa magonjwa yabe.
Jesus went back down the mountain with them, and stopped at a place where there was some flat ground. There a crowd made up of his disciples and many other people from all over Judea, Jerusalem, and the sea coast of Tyre and Sidon, had gathered to listen to him and to be cured from their diseases.
18 Bandu babile bandasumbuliwa ni nchela bachapu batiponywa pia.
Those who were troubled by evil spirits were also healed.
19 Kila yumo kwenye lyoo kusanyiko atijaribu kumkamwa kwa sababu ngupu ya uponyaji yabile bonekana nkati yake, ni atikubaponya boti.
Everyone in the crowd tried to touch him, because power was coming out from him and healing them all.
20 Boka po atikubalinga benepunzi bake, ni baya, “mtibarikiwa mwenga mwa m'bile maskini, kwa maana ufalme wa Nnongo ni winu.
Looking at his disciples, Jesus told them,
21 Mtibarikiwa mwenga mwabile ni njala nambeambe, kwa maana mpala yukuta. Mtibarikiwa mwenga mwamlela nambeambe kwa maana mpala eka.
“How happy are you who are poor, for the kingdom of God is yours. How happy are you who are hungry now, for you will eat all you need. How happy are you who are weeping now, for you will laugh.
22 Mtibarikiwa mwenga ambao bandu bapala kubachukianga ni kubatenga ni kubashutumu mwenga kwamba mwa'ovu, kwa ajili ya mwana wa Adamu.
How happy are you when people hate you, exclude you, insult you, and curse your name as evil because of me, the Son of man.
23 Pulaini katika lichoba lyoo ni goloka goloka kwa pulaha, kwa sababu hakika mpala pata thawabu ngolo kumaunde, kwa maana tate bao batikubatenda nyonyonyoo mananbii.
When that day comes, be happy. Jump for joy, for great is your reward in heaven. Don't forget their forefathers mistreated the prophets just like this.
24 Lakini ole winu mwabile matajili kwa maana myomwile pata faraja yinu.
But how sad are you who are rich, for you have already received your reward.
25 Ole winu mwabile yukwita nambeambe! kwa mana mpala bona njala baalaye, Ole winu mwamueka nambeambe mpala lomboleza ni lela baalae.
How sad are you who are full now, for you will become hungry. How sad are you who laugh now, for you will mourn and cry.
26 Ole winu mwapala lumbwa ni bandu boti! kwa mana tate bao atikubatenda manabii wa ubocho nyonyonyo.
How sad are you when everyone praises you. Don't forget that their forefathers praised false prophets just like this.
27 Lakini nibaya kwinu mwenga mwamunipekaniya, mwapende adui zenu ni kupanga mema kwa babawachukiya.
But I say to those of you who are listening: Love your enemies. Do good to those who hate you.
28 Mubabariki balo babalaani mwenga ni mubalobii balo babaoneya.
Bless those who curse you. Pray for those who mistreat you.
29 Kwa ywembe ywa akukombwa shavu limo, mgalauliye ni lya ibelr. Kati mundu akupokonyile jyoho lyako kanamchibi na nganzu.
If someone hits you on one cheek, turn the other cheek. If someone takes your coat, don't prevent them taking your shirt.
30 Mbei kila ywa akuloba. Kati mundu akupokonyile kilebe ni mali yako, kana umrobe akubuyanganiye.
Give to anyone who asks you. If someone takes something from you, don't ask for it back.
31 Kati ubapendavyo bandu babatendii, ni mwenga mubatendi nyonyonyo.
Do to others what you want them to do to you.
32 Kati mkiwapenda bandu baba mpendanga mwenga tu, eyo ni thawabu ya namani kwinu” kwa maana hata bene dhambi huwapenda balo babapendile.
If you love those who love you, why should you deserve any credit for that? Even sinners love those who love them.
33 Kati mwatendi mema balo bawatendi wema ni mwenga, eyo nga thawabu gani kwinu? kwa mana hata ywabile ni sambi apanga nyoo.
If you do good to those who do good to you, why should you deserve any credit for that either? Sinners do that as well.
34 Kati mwatikunkopesha ilebe kwa bandu mwabile mutegemie kwamba balowa kubabuyanganikiya, eyo nga thawabu gani kwinu? Mana hata balo babile ni sambi balowa kopesha benge sambi benge, ni tegemya pokya kiasi chechelo kae.
If you lend money expecting to be repaid, why should you deserve any credit for that? Sinners lend money to other sinners as well, expecting to be repaid what they loaned.
35 Lakini mwapende adui zenu ni mwatendei mema. Mubakopeshe ni mhofie kwaa kuhusu kubuyanganikiwa, ni thawabu yinu ipalika kuba ngolo. Mpalikwa kuba bana ba Ywabile kunani, kwa mana ywembe mwene nga mwema kwa bandu babile kwaa ni shukrani ni baovu.
No: love your enemies, do good to them, and lend without expecting to be repaid anything. Then you will receive a great reward, and you will be children of the Most High God, for he is kind to ungrateful and wicked people.
36 Mube ni huruma, kati Tate binu ywabile ni huruma.
Be compassionate, just as your Father is compassionate.
37 Kana mhukumu, mwenga muhukumilwa kwaa. Kana mulaani, ni mwenga mulaanilwa kwaa. Musamei benge, ni mwenga mwalowa sameelwa.
Don't judge, and you won't be judged; don't condemn, and you won't be condemned; forgive, and you'll be forgiven;
38 Mwapei benge, mwenga mwalowa peilwa. Kiasi sa ukarimu-chakisindililwe, sukwasukwa ni mwagilwa-mwagilwa mumagoti yinu. Kwamana kwa kipimo chochote mwakitumile pemya, kipimo chechelo chapanga tumilwa kubapemya ni mwenga.
give, and you will be given generously in return. When what you're given is measured out, it's pressed down so more can be added, spilling out over the top, pouring into your lap! For how much you give will determine how much you receive.”
39 Boka po kabamakiya kwa mpwano kae, “Je mundu ywange bona aweza kumwongoza kipofu ywenge? Kati atipanga nyoo, bai boti balowa tombokya mulimbwa, je kana batumbukii?
Then he illustrated the point: “Can a blind person lead another? Wouldn't they both fall into a ditch?
40 Mwanapunzi aweza kwaa kuba nkolo kuliko mwalimu wake, lakini kila mundu kaayomwa pundishwa kwa ukamilifu alowa kati mwalimu bake.
Do students know more than the teacher? Only when they've learned everything: then they will be like their teacher.
41 Mwanja namani bai mwakilola kibanzi nkati ya liyo lya nongo wo, ni wabile ni boriti nkati ya liyo lyako uilola kwaa?
Why are you so worried about the speck that's in your brother's eye when you don't even notice the plank that's in your own eye?
42 Waweza kwaa kummakiya nongowo, Nongo wango kiboywe ibanzi mu'liyo lyako, “wenga ulola kwaa boriti yaibile muliyo lyako wa mwene, Nga ubona inanoga kumoywa kibanzi mu'liyo lya nongo bako.
How can you say to your brother, ‘Brother, let me take out the speck that's in your eye,’ when you don't even see the plank that's in your own eye? Hypocrite! Take out the plank from your own eye first, and then you'll be able to see well enough to take out the speck from your brother's eye.
43 Kwamana ntopo nkongo unoyite upambike matunda ganoite kwaa, wala ntopo nkongo unoyite kwaa upambika matunda ganoite.
A good tree doesn't produce bad fruit, and a bad tree doesn't produce good fruit.
44 Kwa mana kila nkongo bandu uyowanika kwa matunda gake. Kwamana bandu bachuma kwaa tini boka mu'miba, wala kana bachuma zabibu boka mu'michongoma.
You recognize a tree by the fruit it produces. You don't pick figs from thorn bushes, or harvest grapes from brambles.
45 Mundu mwema mu'hazina njema ya mwoyo wake kumoywa galyo mema, ni mundu mwou mu'hazina mbou ya mwoyo wake umoywa galyo maou. Kwamana ntwe wake ubaya galo gaujazike mwoyo wake.
Good people produce what's good from the good things they value that they have stored inside them. Bad people produce what's bad from the bad things they have stored inside them. What fills people's minds spills out in what they say.
46 Kwa namani mwanikema,'Ngwana, Ngwana, na balo muyatendi kwaa galo ganiabakiya?
So why do you bother to call me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ when you don't do what I say?
47 KIla mundu ywanikengama nenga ni kugayowa makoweni kugatendii kazi, nalowa kwaonesha ywabile.
I'll give you an example of someone who comes to me, hears my instructions, and follows them.
48 Atilandana ni mundu ywachenga nyumba yake, ywa chimba pae muno, ni kuchenga msingi ba nyumba nnani ya mwamba imara. Mafuriko gaisile, maporomoko ga mase, gaikombwile nyumba, lakini yaweza kwaa kwitikisa, kwa mana yabile ichengwite vizuri.
That person is like a man building a house. He digs down deep and lays the foundations on solid rock. When the river bursts its banks and the floodwater breaks against the house it's not damaged because it's built so well.
49 Lakini ywoywoti ywaliyowa neno lyango no kulitii kwaa, mpwano wake ywa mundu ywachengite nyumba nnani ya mbwega pabile kwaa ni msingi, mto wauilukie kwa ngupu, nyumba yelo yapatike maangamizi makolo.
The person who hears me but doesn't do what I say is like a man who builds a house without foundations. When the floodwater breaks against the house it collapses immediately, completely destroyed.”
