Luka 6
1 Lishaka limu lya kwoyera Yesu kaweriti kankupita mumigunda ya nganu. Wafundwa wakuwi waweriti wankubena mikunguwi ya nganu, pawayisyoga mumawoku mwawu na kuziliya mbunji zya nganu.
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 Mafalisayu wamu wamkosiya, “Iwera hashi mtenda shintu sheni Lilagaliru lilewelera kutenda mulishaka lya kwoyera?”
Some of the Pharisees questioned him, asking, “Why are you doing what is not permitted on the Sabbath?”
3 Yesu kawankula, “Mwenga hamwenibetuli ntambu yakatenditi Dawudi na wayaguwi shipindi pawaweriti na njala?
Jesus replied, “Have you never read what David did when he and his men were hungry?
4 Yomberi kingiriti Mnumba ya Mlungu, katola mabumunda gawatuliti Mnumba ya Mlungu, kaliyiti na gamonga kawapananiti wayaguwi. Kwahera muntu yoseri yakaliyaga kumbiti watambika hera ndo waliyaga.”
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 Yesu kamaliriti kwa kuwagambira, “Mwana gwa Muntu ndo Mtuwa gwa lishaka lya kwoyera.”
Then he told them, “The Son of man is Lord of the Sabbath.”
6 Lishaka lyamonga lya kwoyera Yesu kingiriti mnumba ya Mlungu kufunda. Kuweriti na muntu mlaa yakaweriti na liwoku lya kumliwu lyalilewelekiti.
On another Sabbath he went into the synagogue to teach. A man was there with a crippled right hand.
7 Wafunda wamu wa Malagaliru na Mafalisayu wamu wasakuliti shisoweru sha kumsitaki Yesu, su waweriti wankumuhepelera waloli handa kamuponiziyi muntu mulishaka lya kwoyera.
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 Kumbiti Yesu kavimaniti kala shawaliholiti, su kamgambiriti muntu yakeniti na liwoku lyalilewelekiti, “Gugoloki, gwizi panu palongolu.” Muntu ulii kimuka na kugoloka palii.
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 Su Yesu kawagambira, “Nukukosiyani, Lilagaliru litujimira twenga kutenda shishi mulishaka lya kwoyera? Kuponiziya ama kulaga? Kugalopoziya makaliru ga muntu ama kugalaga?”
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 Kawaloliti wega zoseri, shakapanu Kamgambira muntu yakeniti na liwoku lyalilewelekiti, “Gunyoshi liwoku lyaku.” Yomberi kanyosha liwoku lyakuwi na liwera kayi likomu.
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 Womberi wakalala, su wanja kulihola ntambu ya kumtenda Yesu vidoda.
But they flew into a rage, and began to discuss what they could do to Jesus.
12 Shipindi shilii Yesu kagenda kulugongu kumluwa Mlungu, kalivagiti kulaa aku pashiru poseri pakamluwa Mlungu.
One day shortly after, Jesus went up a mountain to pray. He remained there all night, praying to God.
13 Shilawu yakuwi kawashema wantumintumi wakuwi, pakati pawu kawasyagula lilongu na wawili kawashema wantumintumi.
When morning came he called together his disciples, and chose twelve of them. These are the names of the apostles:
14 Awa ndo Simoni yawamupiti litawu lya Peteru na Andereya mlongu gwakuwi na Yakobu na Yohani na Filipu na Batolumayu,
Simon (also called Peter by Jesus), Andrew his brother, James, John, Philip, Bartholomew,
15 Matayu na Tomasi na Yakobu mwana gwa Alifayu na Simoni yawamshemiti Zeloti,
Matthew, Thomas, James the son of Alphaeus, Simon the Revolutionary,
16 Yuda mwana gwa Yakobu na Yuda Isikariyoti yakamgalambukiti Yesu.
Judas the son of James, and Judas Iscariot (who became a traitor).
17 Pakasulukiti kulugongu pamuhera na wafundwa wakuwi, Yesu kagolokiti palushi, pakaweriti na wafundwa wakuwi wavuwa. Lipinga likulu lya wantu wawalivagiti palii, walawiti Muyudeya yoseri na Yerusalemu na mbwega ya Tiru na Sidoni,
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 wiziti kumpikinira na kuponiziwa malweli gawu. Woseri yawagaziwitwi na washamshera viraa wiziti na waponiziwitwi.
Those who were troubled by evil spirits were also healed.
19 Wantu woseri wafiriti kumshinkula Yesu, makakala gamlawiti na kawaponiziya woseri.
Everyone in the crowd tried to touch him, because power was coming out from him and healing them all.
20 Yesu kawagalambukira wafundwa wakuwi na kulonga, “Mnemeleri mwenga mwawahushu, Toziya Ufalumi wa Mlungu hawuweri wenu!
Looking at his disciples, Jesus told them,
21 Mnemeleri mwenga yamuwera na njala vinu, Toziya hamyukutiziwi! Mnemeleri mwenga yamlira vinu, Toziya hamsekeleri!”
“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 “Mnemeleri mwenga wantu pawawakalirani na kuwalema, kuwahigilanga na kuwapayirani madoda, goseri aga toziya ya Mwana gwa Muntu!
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 Shipindi pagalawila aga, mnemeleli pa mvina, toziya ya lijenjeri likulu lyawawatulirani kala kumpindi kwa Mlungu. Hangu ndo wambuyi wawu wawatenditi wambuyi wa Mlungu ntambu iraayi.”
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 “Kumbiti shondi shondi mwenga mwawalunda vinu, Toziya nemeleru yenu vinu ipera!
But how sad are you who are rich, for you have already received your reward.
25 Shondi shondi mwenga yamwikuta vinu, Hamuweri na njala! Shondi shondi mwenga yamseka vinu, Hamlili na kudaya!
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 “Shondi shondi wantu woseri wankukuzyumani, hera hangu wagogolu wawu watakuliti ntambu iraayi kwa wambuyi wa mpayu.
How sad are you when everyone praises you. Don't forget that their forefathers praised false prophets just like this.
27 “Kumbiti nankuwagambirani mwenga mwamunpikanira. Muwafiri wangondu wenu, muwatekeleri woseri wakukalalirani.
But I say to those of you who are listening: Love your enemies. Do good to those who hate you.
28 Muwatekeleri woseri wawakupangilirani na muwaluwili kwa Mlungu woseri yawakutenderani madoda.
Bless those who curse you. Pray for those who mistreat you.
29 Muntu pakakukoma lisaya limu, gumleki kakomi na lisaya lyamonga, handa muntu pakakupoka likoti lyaku, gumlekeri na lishati lyaku.
If someone hits you on one cheek, turn the other cheek. If someone takes your coat, don't prevent them taking your shirt.
30 Muntu yoseri pakakuluwa gumpanani na muntu pakakupoka ulunda waku, nagumgambira kawuziyi.
Give to anyone who asks you. If someone takes something from you, don't ask for it back.
31 Muwatenderi wamonga ntambu yamfira kutenderwa.
Do to others what you want them to do to you.
32 “Handa pamuwafira walii yawawafira mwenga, hampati lifupu gaa? Ata yawawera na vidoda wawafira wantu yawawafira womberi.
If you love those who love you, why should you deserve any credit for that? Even sinners love those who love them.
33 Kayi pamuwatendera viheri walii yawakutenderani mwenga viheri, hampati lifupu gaa? Ata yawawera na vidoda watendaga hera hangu!
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 Na pamuwakopesha walii yamuwahola kuwera hawakuwuzireni hampati lifupu gaa? Ata yawawera na vidoda wawakopeshaga yawawera na vidoda, pawalihola wawawuziliri shawawakopeshiti.
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 Kumbiti mwenga muwafiri wangondu wenu na muwatenderi viheri, mkopeshi namliholera kuwuzilirwa. Lifupu lyenu haliweri likulu na hamuweri wana wa Mlungu gwa kumpindi. Toziya yomberi ndo muheri kwa wantu yawahera mayagashii na yawatenda vidoda.
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 Muweri na lusungu gambira Tati gwenu ntambu yakawera na lusungu.
Be compassionate, just as your Father is compassionate.
37 “Namuwatoza wamonga, su Mlungu hakawatozi ndiri mwenga, namuwapangira wamonga, su Mlungu hapeni kawapangili mwenga, muwalekeziyi wamonga, su Mlungu hakawalekiziyi mwenga.
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 Muwapanani wamonga, su Mlungu hakawapanani mwenga. Hamuwanki shipimu shakumemeziya, sha kutikisiya na kuyonera na kwitika mumawoku mwenu, vyoseri avi haviweri vya mwenga. Shipimu shamuwapimiliti wamonga, Mlungu ndo hakakupimirani 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 Yesu kawagambira mfanu agu, “Muntu kana lwisi kaweza ndiri kumlongoziya kana lwisi muyaguwi, pakatenda hangu, woseri hawapokeri mulirindi.
Then he illustrated the point: “Can a blind person lead another? Wouldn't they both fall into a ditch?
40 Kwahera mfundwa kaweza kumsinda mfunda gwakuwi, su kila mfundwa pakamalila kala mafundu hakaweri gambira mfunda gwakuwi.
Do students know more than the teacher? Only when they've learned everything: then they will be like their teacher.
41 “Guweza hashi kushiwona shibandu shididini nentu mulisu lya mlongu gwaku, pota kuwona lipingiri lya mulisu lyaku?
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 Hashi guweza kutakula kwa mlongu gwaku, ‘Guleki nukuwusiyi shibandu shididini nentu mulisu lyaku,’ na gwenga gusinda kuliwona lipingiri lya mulisu lyaku? Gwa mfyangu gwenga! Kwanja guwusiyi huti lipingiri lya ligogu mulisu lyaku, ndo haguwezi kushiwusiya weri shibandu mulisu lya mlongu gwaku.
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 “Kwahera mtera guherepa gwagulera mabwajubwaju gadoda, viraa mtera gudoda guweza ndiri kulera mabwajubwaju gaherepa.
A good tree doesn't produce bad fruit, and a bad tree doesn't produce good fruit.
44 Kila mtera gumanika kulawirana na mabwajubwaju gakuwi galeriti, guweza ndiri kwapa embi mumishongoma ama zabibu mumbigiri.
You recognize a tree by the fruit it produces. You don't pick figs from thorn bushes, or harvest grapes from brambles.
45 Muntu muheri katendaga viheri kulawa muviheri vivuwa mumoyu mwakuwi, na muntu kana vidoda katendaga vidoda kulawa muvidoda vivuwa mumoyu mwakuwi. Toziya mlomu gutakula galii gaweriti mumoyu.
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 “Iwera ashi munshema, ‘Mtuwa, Mtuwa,’ Uganu mtenda ndiri vyanuwagambirani?
So why do you bother to call me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ when you don't do what I say?
47 Hanuwalanguziyi ntambu yakalifana muntu yoseri pakiza kwa neni na kupikinira visoweru vyaneni na kuvijimira.
I'll give you an example of someone who comes to me, hears my instructions, and follows them.
48 Kalifana na muntu yakanyawa numba yakuwi, kabawa pasi nentu na kunyawa liyanjiru mulitalawu. Mafuriku gamashi pagarawiriti gayiputa numba ilii kumbiti itikinyika ndiri, toziya wayinyawiti weri numba.
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 Su yoseri ulii yakapikanira visoweru vyangu na kuvijimira ndiri, ayu kalifana na muntu yakanyawiti numba yakuwi pota na kunyawa lyanjiru, mafuriku pagiziti gayiputa numba ilii na kuguwa puu na kubomokanga nakamu!”
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.”
