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.”
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 Yesu akavajovela. “Pemuyupa kwa Chapanga, mujova naha, Dadi, Liina laku lilumbiwa, Unkosi waku ubwelayi.
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 Utipela chakulya chitu cha magono goha.
Give us day by day our daily bread.
4 Utilekekesayi getikubudila Chapanga, ndava muni na tete tikuvalekekesa vevakutibudila. Kotoka kutiyingisa mukulingiwa.”
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 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,
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 ndava muni nkozi wangu anihikalili kuhuma mulugendu, na nene nivii lepi na chakumpela!’
for a friend of mine has come to me from a journey, and I have nothing to 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 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 Nikuvajovela yati iyimuka lepi kuhamba kumpela pamonga na kuvya nkozi waki, nambu ndava ya kukangamala kwaki kuyupa, yati iyimuka na kumpela chochoha cheigana.
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 Hinu nikuvajovela, muyupa na nyenye yati mwipewa, mulonda yati mwipata, muhodisa mlyangu yati mwidinduliwa.
“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 Muni mundu yeyoha mweiyupa ipewa na mweilonda ipata na mweihodesa mlyangu idinduliwa.
For everyone who asks receives. He who seeks finds. 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?
“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 Na ngati amuyupi likang'a yati ampela chipilili?
Or if he asks for an egg, he will not give him a scorpion, will he?
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 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 Ligono limonga Yesu avi mukuuvinga mzuka wewamkitili mundu mmonga kuvya ngajova. Ndi, mzuka ukamuwuka, mundu yula akahotola kulongela, hati msambi wa vandu ukakangasa.
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 Nambu vandu vangi vakajova, “Ivinga mizuka kwa uhotola wa Belizebuli, mkulu wa mizuka.”
But some of them said, “He casts out demons by Beelzebul, the prince of the demons.”
16 Vangi vakamlinga Yesu, vakamgana, akita gachinamtiti kulangisa kuvya uhotola waki uhumili kwa Chapanga.
Others, testing him, sought from him a sign from heaven.
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 divided against itself is brought to desolation. A house divided against itself 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.
If Satan also is divided against himself, how will his kingdom stand? For you say that I cast out demons by Beelzebul.
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.
But if I cast out demons by Beelzebul, by whom do your children cast them out? Therefore they will be your judges.
20 Nambu ngati nivinga mizuka kwa uhotola wa Chapanga, ndi mumanya kuvya Unkosi waki umali kuhika kwinu.
But if I by God’s finger cast out demons, then God’s Kingdom has come to you.
21 Mundu mweavi na makakala, pailindalila nyumba yaki na vindu vya ngondo, vindu vyaki vyoha vivya bwina.
“When the strong man, fully armed, guards his own dwelling, his goods are safe.
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 someone stronger attacks him and overcomes him, he takes from him his whole armor in which he trusted, and divides his plunder.
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. 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.’
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 Peiwuya ikolela nyumba yila yitendelikiwi na vindu vivikiwi bwina.
When he returns, he 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 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 Paajovayi genago, mdala mmonga mweavi pagati ya msambi wa vandu akajova kwa lwami luvaha, “Limotisiwayi lileme lelikugegili na livele lelakunyong'isi!”
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 Yesu akajova, “Vamotisiwa veviyuwana lilovi la Chapanga na kulikamula!”
But he said, “On the contrary, blessed 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.
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 Mewawa Yona chalolikini kuvya ulangisu kwa vandu va ku Ninawi, ndi na Mwana wa Mundu yati ivya chinamtiti kwa chiveleku ichi.
For even as Jonah became a sign to the Ninevites, so the Son of Man will also 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 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 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 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 “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.
“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 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 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 Mujilolayi neju, lumuli lweluvi mugati yaku lukoto kuvya chitita.
Therefore see whether the light that is in you is not 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 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 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 asked him to dine with him. He went in and sat at the table.
38 Mfalisayu yula akakangasa, muni amuweni Yesu asambili lepi kwakona chakulya.
When the Pharisee saw it, he marveled that he had not first washed himself before dinner.
39 Bambu akamjovela, “Nyenye Vafalisayu msanja chikombi na nkeve kuvala, nambu mugati mumemili kugana vindu vyamahele na uhakau.
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 Vayimu nyenye! Wu, Chapanga awumbili lepi vya kuvala, na kangi awumbili lepi vya mugati?
You foolish ones, did not he who made the outside make the inside also?
41 Nambu muvapela vangangu vyevivili mugati, munkele na muchikombi na kila chindu chivyaa chabwina kwa nyenye.”
But give for gifts to the needy those things which are within, and behold, all things will be 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! 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 “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! For you love the best seats 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, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you are like hidden graves, and the men who walk over them do not know it.”
45 Mundu mmonga mweimanya malagizu akamyangula, “Muwula, malovi gaku ukutiliga na tete.”
One of the lawyers answered him, “Teacher, in saying this you insult 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.
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 Mwalachikolela nyenye! Muni mwijenga matinda ga vamlota va Chapanga, vavakomiwi na vagogo vinu.
Woe to you! For you build the tombs of the prophets, and 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.
So you testify and consent to the works of your fathers. For they killed them, and you build their tombs.
49 Ndava ya genago, luhala lwa Chapanga lwajovili naha, ‘Yati nivaletela vamlota na vamitumi, nambu vangi vikomiwa na vangi yati ving'ahiswa.’
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 Ndi vandu va lukumbi ulu yati viyingila mumuhalu, ndava ya lifwa la vamlota va Chapanga voha vevakomiwi kutumbula kuwumbikiwa kwa mulima,
that the blood of all the prophets, which 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 tell 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! For you took away the key of knowledge. You did not enter in yourselves, and those who were entering in, you hindered.”
53 Yesu pawukili penapo, Vafalisayu na vawula va malagizu kutumbula penapo vakamyomela neju na kumlinga kwa kumkota mambu gamahele,
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 Muni vagana kumkamula kwa malovi geijova.
lying in wait for him, and seeking to catch him in something he might say, that they might accuse him.
