Luka 11
1 Ligono limonga, Yesu avili pandu ayupayi kwa Chapanga. Peamalili, mmonga wa vawuliwa vaki akamjovela, “Bambu, tiwulayi na tete kuyupa kwa Chapanga ngati Yohani chaavawuli vawuliwa vaki.”
And it came to pass as he was in a certain place praying, that when he ceased, a certain man of his disciples said to him, Lord, teach us to pray as John also taught his disciples.
2 Yesu akavajovela. “Pemuyupa kwa Chapanga, mujova naha, Dadi, Liina laku lilumbiwa, Unkosi waku ubwelayi.
And he said to them, When ye pray, say, Our Father in the heavens, hallowed be thy name. May thy kingdom come, may thy will happen on the earth as also in heaven.
3 Utipela chakulya chitu cha magono goha.
Give us our bread sufficient for each day.
4 Utilekekesayi getikubudila Chapanga, ndava muni na tete tikuvalekekesa vevakutibudila. Kotoka kutiyingisa mukulingiwa.”
And forgive us our sins, for we ourselves also forgive every man who is indebted to us. And bring us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil.
5 Kangi akavajovela vawuliwa vaki, “Yani pagati yinu mweavi na nkozi, na akamhambila pagati ya kilu na kumjovela ‘Mlongo wangu, chondi niyayika mabumunda gadatu na kangi yati nikuwuyisila,
And he said to them, Which of you will have a friend, and will go to him at midnight, and say to him, Friend, lend me three loaves,
6 ndava muni nkozi wangu anihikalili kuhuma mulugendu, na nene nivii lepi na chakumpela!’
since a friend arrived from the road to me, and I do not have what I would set before him,
7 Ndi yula wa mugati, ngaamyangwili, ‘Kotoka kuning'aha! Muni, nimali kudinda mlyangu, nene na vana vangu tigonili, nakuhotola kuyimuka kukupela!’
and that man from inside, having answered, would say, Do not cause toils for me. The door is now shut, and my children are with me in bed. I am not able, after getting up, to give thee?
8 Nikuvajovela yati iyimuka lepi kuhamba kumpela pamonga na kuvya nkozi waki, nambu ndava ya kukangamala kwaki kuyupa, yati iyimuka na kumpela chochoha cheigana.
I say to you, though he will not give him, after getting up, because he is his friend, yet because of his persistence, having awaken, he will give him as many as he needs.
9 Hinu nikuvajovela, muyupa na nyenye yati mwipewa, mulonda yati mwipata, muhodisa mlyangu yati mwidinduliwa.
And I say to you, ask, and it will be given you. Seek, and ye will find. Knock, and it will be opened.
10 Muni mundu yeyoha mweiyupa ipewa na mweilonda ipata na mweihodesa mlyangu idinduliwa.
For every man who asks receives, and he who seeks finds, and to him who knocks it will be opened.
11 Muni yani mweavi dadi ndi mwana waki amuyupili somba wu, yati akumpela liyoka pahali pa somba?
And which father of you, if the son will ask a loaf, will give him a stone, or also if a fish, in place of a fish will give him a serpent?
12 Na ngati amuyupi likang'a yati ampela chipilili?
Or if he should ask for an egg, will he give him a scorpion?
13 Hinu nyenye pamonga na uhakau winu, mumanyi kuvapela vana vinu vindu vyabwina, chakaka Dadi winu wa kunani yati ikita na pawaka, muni yati akuvapela Mpungu Msopi vala vevakumuyupa!”
If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more the Father from heaven will give the Holy Spirit to those who ask him?
14 Ligono limonga Yesu avi mukuuvinga mzuka wewamkitili mundu mmonga kuvya ngajova. Ndi, mzuka ukamuwuka, mundu yula akahotola kulongela, hati msambi wa vandu ukakangasa.
And he was casting out a demon, and it was mute. And it happened when the demon was gone out, the mute man spoke. And the multitudes marveled,
15 Nambu vandu vangi vakajova, “Ivinga mizuka kwa uhotola wa Belizebuli, mkulu wa mizuka.”
but some of them said, He casts out the demons by Beelzebub, ruler of the demons.
16 Vangi vakamlinga Yesu, vakamgana, akita gachinamtiti kulangisa kuvya uhotola waki uhumili kwa Chapanga.
And others, challenging, sought from him a sign from the sky.
17 Nambu Yesu amanyili maholo gavi, akavajovela, Unkosi wowoha wula, weulekangini chikundi chikundi nakuhotola kusindimala, mewawa na vandu va nyumba yimonga vevalekangini yati viyaga.
But he, knowing their thoughts, said to them, Every kingdom that was divided against itself is made desolate, and a house against a house falls.
18 Ngati Setani ana chikundi chechikomana chene kwa chene, unkosi waki yati uyima wuli? Nijova genaga ndava nyenye mukunijova nene nivinga mizuka kwa uhotola wa Belizebuli.
And if Satan also is divided against himself, how will his kingdom be made to stand? Because ye say that I cast out the demons by Beelzebub.
19 Vawuliwa vinu vivinga mizuka ngati mewa chenikita nene. Ndava kyani nyenye mwijova nene nivinga mizuka kwa uhotola wa Belizebuli? Hinu venavo ndi yati vakuvahamula nyenye.
And if I cast out the demons by Beelzebub, by whom do your sons cast them out? Because of this they will be your judges.
20 Nambu ngati nivinga mizuka kwa uhotola wa Chapanga, ndi mumanya kuvya Unkosi waki umali kuhika kwinu.
But if by a finger of God I cast out the demons, then the kingdom of God has come upon you.
21 Mundu mweavi na makakala, pailindalila nyumba yaki na vindu vya ngondo, vindu vyaki vyoha vivya bwina.
When the fully armed strong man guards his palace, the things possessed by him are in peace,
22 Nambu akabwelayi mundu yungi mweavi na makakala neju na kumzangila na kumnyaga vindu vyaki vya ngondo, mundu mwenuyo ihotola kuvitola vindu vyaki vyoha na kuvigavanisa.
but when a stronger than he comes, after defeating him, he takes away his full armor in which he trusted, and divides his booty.
23 “Mundu yoyoha yula mwangalongosana na nene, mwenuyo isigana, na yoyoha yula mweibela kunonga pamonga na nene, mwenuyo ipechengana.”
He who is not with me is against me, and he who does not gather with me scatters.
24 “Mzuka ngati uvingiwi kwa mundu, ulyungalyunga kulugangatu mukulonda pandu pa kupumulila. Ngati apapati lepi ukujijovela, ‘Yati niwuya kunyumba yangu kwenikahumili.’
When the unclean spirit departs out of the man, it passes through waterless places seeking rest. And not finding, it says, I will return to my house from where I came out.
25 Peiwuya ikolela nyumba yila yitendelikiwi na vindu vivikiwi bwina.
And when it comes, it finds it swept and put in order.
26 Ndi, ihamba kuhitola mizuka hingi saba, yeyivi hihakau kuliku mwene, ndi penapo yoha yikumuyingila mundu yula. Mundu mwenuyo hinu wumi waki wivya uhakau neju, kuliku chaakavili lukumbi lwa kutumbula.”
Then it goes, and takes along seven other spirits more evil than itself, and having enter in, it dwells there. And the last state of that man becomes worse than the first.
27 Paajovayi genago, mdala mmonga mweavi pagati ya msambi wa vandu akajova kwa lwami luvaha, “Limotisiwayi lileme lelikugegili na livele lelakunyong'isi!”
And it came to pass, as he said these things, a certain woman, having lifted up her voice out of the crowd, said to him, Blessed is the belly that bore thee, and the breasts that thou suckled.
28 Yesu akajova, “Vamotisiwa veviyuwana lilovi la Chapanga na kulikamula!”
But he said, Blessed rather, are those who hear the word of God, and keep it.
29 Msambi wa vandu pawayonjokisi, Yesu akavajovela, “Chiveleku ichi ndi chihakau, chigana ulangisu kuhuma kunani kwa Chapanga, nambu yati nakupewa ulangisu wowoha manya ngawula wa Yona.
And when the multitudes gathered together he began to say, This generation is evil. They seek a sign, and no sign will be given to it except the sign of Jonah, the prophet.
30 Mewawa Yona chalolikini kuvya ulangisu kwa vandu va ku Ninawi, ndi na Mwana wa Mundu yati ivya chinamtiti kwa chiveleku ichi.
For as Jonah became a sign to the Ninevites, so also the Son of man will be to this generation.
31 Nkosi wa chidala wa kusini yati ihumila ligono la muhalu ukulu, lukumbi lwa muhalu wa chiveleku ichi na mwene yati ijova chiveleku ichi chibudili. Muni mwene agendili kuhuma mulima wa kutali kubwela kuyuwanila malovi ga luhala ga Nkosi Solomoni, nambu penapa avi mkulu kuliku Nkosi Solomoni.
The queen of the south will awake in the judgment with the men of this generation, and will condemn them, because she came from the ends of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon, and behold, a greater than Solomon is here.
32 Vandu va ku Ninawi yati vihumila ligono la muhalu ukulu pamonga na vandu va chiveleku ichi yati vijova chibudili. Muni vandu va Ninawi vamuwuyalili Chapanga ndava ujumbi wa Chapanga weakokwisi Yona. Nambu penapa avi mkulu kuliku Yona!”
The men of Nineveh will rise up in the judgment with this generation, and will condemn it, because they repented at the preaching of Jonah, and behold, a greater than Jonah is here.
33 “Kawaka mundu mweipambika hahi na kuyifiya amala kuyigubika na chiviga, nambu hahi ngati yipambikwi vivika kunani kuchibokoselu, muni yilangasayi bwina mugati mwoha na vandu voha veviyingila valola bwina.
And no man, having lit a lamp, puts it in a concealed place, nor under the bushel, but on the lampstand, so that those who enter in may see the light.
34 Lihu laku ndi hahi ya higa yaku. Ngati lihu laku livi bwina, higa yaku yivi mulumuli. Nambu lihu laku likoywiki, higa yaku yivi mchitita.
The lamp of thy body is the eye. Therefore, when thine eye is sound, thy whole body is also bright, but when it is bad, thy body is also dark.
35 Mujilolayi neju, lumuli lweluvi mugati yaku lukoto kuvya chitita.
Watch therefore the light in thee not be darkness.
36 Ndi, ngati higa yaku yoha una lumuli, changali pandu pangi kuvya chitita, higa yaku yati ying'asima ngati hahi cheyilangasa kwa lumuli lwaki.”
If therefore thy whole body is bright, not having any part dark, the whole will be bright, as when the lamp illuminates thee by the radiance.
37 Yesu peamali kujova genago, Mfalisayu mmonga amgongolili Yesu kulya chakulya kunyumba yaki ndi Yesu akahamba kwenuko, na akatama kulya.
Now as he spoke a certain Pharisee asks him that he might dine with him. And having entered in, he sat down.
38 Mfalisayu yula akakangasa, muni amuweni Yesu asambili lepi kwakona chakulya.
And when the Pharisee saw, he marveled that he did not first wash before dinner.
39 Bambu akamjovela, “Nyenye Vafalisayu msanja chikombi na nkeve kuvala, nambu mugati mumemili kugana vindu vyamahele na uhakau.
And the Lord said to him, Now ye Pharisees cleanse the outside of the cup and of the platter, but your interior is full of plundering and wickedness.
40 Vayimu nyenye! Wu, Chapanga awumbili lepi vya kuvala, na kangi awumbili lepi vya mugati?
Ye foolish men, did not he who made the outside also make the inside?
41 Nambu muvapela vangangu vyevivili mugati, munkele na muchikombi na kila chindu chivyaa chabwina kwa nyenye.”
But give compassion, things that are inside, and behold, all things are clean to you.
42 “Yati muchikolela nyenye Vafalisayu, muni mkumpela Chapanga lilundu limonga pagati ya kumi za ndimbilu na libonongo na mahamba gangi ga likolo. Nambu mwileka kuvakitila vandu gegiganikiwa, na kumgana Chapanga. Yikuvagana kugakamula genago changali kukosiwa na gangi gala.”
But woe to you Pharisees! Because ye tithe mint and rue and every plant, and pass by justice and the love of God. It is necessary to do these things, and not to neglect those things.
43 “Yati muchikolela nyenye Vafalisayu, ndava mwigana kutama muvigoda vya kulongolo munyumba za kukonganekela Vayawudi na kujambuswa na vandu cha kugundamiliwa pavikonganika vandu.
Woe to you Pharisees! Because ye love the place of honor in the synagogues, and the greetings in the marketplaces.
44 Yati muchikolela, ndava muni muvi ngati matinda gegafiyiki na vandu vigenda panani yaki changamanya.”
Woe to you scholars and Pharisees, hypocrites! Because ye are like the unseen sepulchers, and the men who walk over them do not know.
45 Mundu mmonga mweimanya malagizu akamyangula, “Muwula, malovi gaku ukutiliga na tete.”
And having answered, a certain man of the lawyers says to him, Teacher, in saying these things thou rebuke us also.
46 Yesu akamyangula, “Na nyenye mwemwimanya malagizu yati muchikolela! Muni mukuvagegesa vandu ndwika yeyitopa yangagegeka, na kuni mwavene nakutalambula hata lung'onji kuvatangatila.
And he said, Woe also to you lawyers! Because ye load men with burdens difficult to bear, and ye yourselves touch not the burdens with one of your fingers.
47 Mwalachikolela nyenye! Muni mwijenga matinda ga vamlota va Chapanga, vavakomiwi na vagogo vinu.
Woe to you! Because ye build the sepulchers of the prophets, but your fathers killed them.
48 Mewawa mwavene mwilangisa chakaka na kuyidakila na matendu ga vagogo vinu, muni vene vavakomili vamlota va Chapanga na nyenye mwijenga matinda gavi.
Consequently, ye testify and approve the works of your fathers, because they indeed killed them, and ye build their sepulchers.
49 Ndava ya genago, luhala lwa Chapanga lwajovili naha, ‘Yati nivaletela vamlota na vamitumi, nambu vangi vikomiwa na vangi yati ving'ahiswa.’
Because of this also the wisdom of God said, I will send to them prophets and apostles. And some of them they will kill and persecute,
50 Ndi vandu va lukumbi ulu yati viyingila mumuhalu, ndava ya lifwa la vamlota va Chapanga voha vevakomiwi kutumbula kuwumbikiwa kwa mulima,
so that the blood of all the prophets that was shed from the foundation of the world may be required of this generation,
51 kutumbula peakomiwi Abeli mbaka kukomiwa kwa Zakalia mwevamkomili pagati ya lusanja lwa luteta na pandu pamsopi. Ena chakaka, chiveleku ichi chiyingila mumuhalu ndava ya matendu genago.”
from the blood of Abel to the blood of Zachariah, who perished between the altar and the sanctuary. Yes, I say to you, it will be required of this generation.
52 “Mwalachikolela nyenye mwemumanya Malagizu! Muni mufiyili fungulu wa mlyangu wa kumanya, nyenye mwavene nakuyingila, na muvabelalili vevakaliyigila vakotoka kuyingila!”
Woe to you lawyers! Because ye took away the key of knowledge. Ye did not enter in yourselves, and ye hindered those who were entering in.
53 Yesu pawukili penapo, Vafalisayu na vawula va malagizu kutumbula penapo vakamyomela neju na kumlinga kwa kumkota mambu gamahele,
And after he said these things to them, the scholars and the Pharisees began to harass him extremely, and to provoke him to speak impulsively about more things,
54 Muni vagana kumkamula kwa malovi geijova.
waiting to ambush him, seeking to catch something out of his mouth so that they might accuse him.
