Luka 11
1 Yabha nali humo humo alabhaga na wamala, omo wasambelezewa bhakwe abhole, “GOSI, umanyizye ate apute neshe shila oYohana shabha manyizizya asambelezewa bhakwe.'
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 Wabhabhola na mputa, yangaji, semeni, 'Baba, hwetu woli mwanya. Itawa lyaho lisaiwaje. Umwene waho wenze, amapenzi gaho gatimizi waje, epa padunia neshe ohwo amwanya.
So he said to them. "When you pray, say, "Father, hallowed be thy name; May thy kingdom come,
3 Otipele isiku hwi siku eriziki yetu.
"Give us day by day our bread for the coming day;
4 Otisajile embibhi zyetu, afwanaje nate ate tibhasajira shila yativisya. Na ogaje ati ponye mmalabha.” (lelo otaule nalo obhibhi)
"Forgive us our sins; for we also forgive everyone who has offended us; "And bring us not into temptation."
5 Wabhabhola, “Wenu hwilimwe yali no rafiki, wabhalila nosiku, owe manane na hubhole, Rafiki wane hopele amabumnda gatatu.
He also said to them. "Suppose you have a friend and you go to him, ‘My friend, lend me three loaves of bread,
6 Afwanaje orafiki wane afishile hwiline afamile msafari, nane sendi nahantu eshabheshe hwitagalila lyakwe.'
"for a friend of mine is come to me from a journey, and I have nothing to set before him.’
7 Na ola owa mhati galula ayanje, uganjenja zye, olyango engaliye nate tiganile nashitala ane na bhana bhane, sebwezizya abhoshe aje epele.
"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 Embabhale yaje, ata nkashile bhoha apele afwanaje rafiki wakwe, lele shila shasaleha hulabhe, bhaso gale na hupele, kadli eyehaja yakwe.
"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 Nane embabhola, Labhaji, mbhapewe; anzaji, namwe mbhalole, ganezyaje, nemwa mbhahwalwe.
"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 Afwanaje shila yalabha apewa, wape ya hwanza alola, wape yadaliha ahwaulwa.
"For he that asks receives, and he who seeks finds, and to him who knocks the door shall be opened.
11 Eshi wenu hwalimwe, yali Yise wenyuyaje omwana wukwe, nkalabhe ibumnda ahupela iwe
"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 au samaki badala ya samaki ahupela enzoha?
"Or if he asks for an egg, will offer him a scorpion?
13 Eshi, ekiwa amwe mwemli bhibhi mmenye abhapele abhana bhenyu evintu evinza, eshi oBaba warimwanya sabhazide abhapele opepo ozelu bhala bhabhalabha?”
"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 Wape ali, ahwefwa ipepo, ibubu. lyabha ipepo nalyepa, ola obubu wayanga, mabongano bhaswiga.
Once he was casting out a dumb demon, and when the demon was gone out, the dumb man spoke, and the people wondered.
15 Bhamo bhayanga, ahwefwa pepo, Beelzebul, gosi we pepo.
But some of them said, "It is by Beelzebub, the prince of demons, that he cast out demons."
16 Bhamo bhalenga bhamwanza ishala yefuma amwanya.
Others, tempting him, kept seeking from him a sign from heaven.
17 Wape azimenye esebho zyabho, wabhabhola, shila umwene wauvisenye wowo kwa wowo, ubhombeha sheukwa, nekhaya juu yekhaya egwa.
He knew their intentions and said to them. "Every kingdom divided against itself is laid waste and house falls upon house.
18 Eshi nkebhe Oshetani avisenye juu ye nafsi yakwe, umwene wakwa ubhahwemelele wele, afanaje amwe mjile ane ehwefwa mapepo hwa Belzebuli.
"And if Satan also is divided against himself, how shall his kingdom stand?
19 Eshi nkashile ane ehwefwa pepo Belzebuli, je abhana bhenu, mbhabhefwe hwananu, afwanaje, ebho bhabhayibhalonga.
"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 Lelo, nkashele ane efumya amapepo hushidole sha Ngolobhe, eshu umwene owa Ngolobhe ubhenzeye.
"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 Omntu yali namaha ahwipinyile endoso zyakwe, nalinda ekhaya yakwe, evintu evyakwa vilishinza.
"When the strong man fully aroused keeps guard over his homestead, his property is undisturbed;
22 Lelo omntu yali namaha ashile omwahale na bhahubhalile nahumene, na hufyole endoso zyakwe zyasobheye, na gabhanye amateka gakwe.
"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 Omntu ambaye salipandwemo nane, oyo alishinyume nane na omntu yasabhonganya pandwemo nane anyapanya.
"He who is not for me is against me, and he who is not gathering with me is scattering.
24 Opepo ochafu nafuma hwamntu, ashililila pasepali menze. Ahwanza apatoye sapalela, ayanga.
"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 Embayiwelele enyumba yane mwefumele.
When it comes and finds the house completely swept and garnished.
26 Hata nafiha nkawalola eyoselye na yipambe esho abhala ayeje pepe abhamwabho saba bhali bhabhibhi ashile elyahale lyelyo, ginjila na khale omwo, omntu oyo ehali yakwe eya humalisholo ebhambibhi shile eyahwande.
"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 Yabha nawayanga amazu ego, oshe om katika obongano akholile hwizu lyakwe, wabhola heri evyanda vyavyapepe, na mabhele gohoshile.
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 Lelo omwahale ayanjile, nafu, aheli bhahwovwa izu elya Ngolobhe na likhate.
"No, rather," he answered, "blessed are those who listen to the word of God, and keep it."
29 Na mabongano nabhali bhahubhonganila, ahandile ayanje, eshikholo eshi shikholo eshibhibhi. Shihwanza ishala, wala seshayipewa ishara ila ishara eya 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 Eshi, nkasile shila o Yona shari ishara hwa bhaninawi, shesho shayibha omwana owa Adamu hushikholo eshi.
"for as Jonah became a sign to the Ninevites, so shall the Son of man be to this generation.
31 Omalkia owa hukusini ayisogola isiku ilyalongwe pandwemo na bhantu abheshikholo eshi wape aibhalonga aje mnamakosa afatanaje omwahale ahenzele afume ncha ezye ensi ayovwe ehekimu eya Solomoni, na epa pali o gosi ashera Osolomoni.
"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 Abhantu Bhaninawi bhayemelela isiku elya longwe pandwemo nesikholo eshi bhape bhayishilongu aje shikosile afwanaje abhahale bhasajilwe hundomelelo ezya Yona, nepa pali ogosi ashile o Yona.
"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 Nomo omntu yahwasya okhozyo nabhesha pa pafisishe au pansi pameza, eshi ibhehwa pamwanya eye meza, ili bhabhahwinjila bhalolaje okhozyo.
"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 Okhozyo olwebele liso. Eshi iliso lyaho nkalibhe shinza, obele gwao gwonti gubhabhelukhozyo. Lelo nkalibhe libhibhi obele gwaho gubhabhe nkisi.
"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 Enya eshi olukhozyo lwalimhati yaho osije ogabha nkisi.
"Look carefully! Perhaps that very light of yours is darkness.
36 Eshi nkashile okhozyo guzyambanile mubele gwaho gwonti, wala segunesehemu eye nkisi, esho obele gwaho gwonti gubhabhe nokhozyo, nkashile lula okhozyo nkaukhozye obele gwaho gwonti gubhabhe no mwanga.”
"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 Nali ayanga, o Falisayo omo akwizizye abhale hwamwahale alye ehsalye, winjila, wakhala pa shalye.
When he had finished speaking a Pharisee asked him to dine with him; so he went in with him and reclined.
38 Farisayo oyo nalolile, aswijile afwanaje saganawile sasele alye.
And the Pharisee noticed, to his amazement, that he did not wash his hands before eating,
39 Ogosi wabhola, “Amwe mwafalisayo mhwozya eshikombo ne sahani wonze lelo mhati yenyu mmemile afyole no ubhibhi.
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 Amwe mwalema yabhombile evya hwonza seyoyo yabhombile evya mhati antele?
"Foolish men! Did not He who made the outside make the inside also?
41 Ulo fumyaji esadaka vila evya mhati ne enya, vyonti vibhovinza hwilimwe.
"Better cleanse what is within, and nothing will be unclean for you.
42 Lelo ole wenyu Mwafarisayo, afwatanaje mfumia ezaka za mnanaa ne zebwa na shila vilembe na ohu mleshile amamba age adili na lugane olya Ngolobhe. Mwanziwaga abhombe ego agahwande bla agalishe ego agabhele.
"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 Ole wenyu Mwafarisayo, afwanaje msongwa akhale hwitagalila elye mabhanza na lamhane msokoni.
"Woe unto you Pharisee! for you delight in the best seats in the synagogue, and in the salutation in the market-places.
44 Ole wenyu, afwanaje mlengene na makabuli gasegabhone amago abhantu nabhashilla juu yakwe sebhali nehabari nago.”
"Woe unto you! for you are like the tombs which are hidden, and men walk over them unsuspecting."
45 Omntu omo katika abhanasheria wagalula, wabhalola sambelezi, ayanje esho otilajiye ate natee.
Hereupon one of the lawyers exclaimed, "But teacher, in saying such things you are also reproaching us also."
46 Wayanga, namwe mbhanasheria, ole wenyu afwanaje mbhatweha abhantu amazigo gasega nyeruha wala amwe bhenyewe semgapalamasya amazigo ego hata huvidole vyenyu shimo.
"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 Ole wenyu afwanaje mzenga maziala aga kuwa na ayise bhenyu afwanaje bhabhagojile.
"Woe to you! for you are building the tombs of the prophets whom you ancestors killed.
48 Eshi mshuhudila na zyetishe embombo ezya yise bhenyu, afwanaje bhahale bhabhagojile namwe mbhazenjela amaziala.
"So you are witnesses, and you consent to the actions of your ancestors. for they killed them, and you build their tombs.
49 Na afwanaje esho ehekima eya Ngolobhe ihayanjila, enya, embasontezye hwabhahale akuwa na tumwa, bhape bhayibhagoga bhamo na bhutanje.
"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 Ili hupapwa ene liwahwenze idanda elya kuwa wonti, yehitishe afume azengwe omsingi ogwensi.
"so that the blood of all the prophets which was shed from the foundation of the world may be required from this generation,
51 Afume idanda elya Abeli hata idanda elya Zakaria, yagongwilye kati ya pampto eya pashibhanza. Nantele embabhola eyaje ebhahwanzye humpapo ene.
"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 Ole wenyu amwe mbhana sheria afwanaje muwefwizye efukuro eye marifai mwemwe semwahinji yei nabhala bhabhahinjilaga mbhazubhiye.”
"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 Nawafuma omwo asimbi na Mafalisayo bhandile husonje shibhibhi na husinjizye humaswali gaminji.
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 Bhahuzijila ili bhapata enongwa zya zifuma mwilumu lyakwe.
laying in wait for him, in order to catch a word from his lips.
