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.'
When he finished praying in a certain place, one of his disciples said to him, “Lord, teach us to pray, just as Yochanan also taught 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.
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 Otipele isiku hwi siku eriziki yetu.
Give us day by day our daily bread.
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 ourselves also forgive everyone who is indebted to us. Bring us not into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one.’”
5 Wabhabhola, “Wenu hwilimwe yali no rafiki, wabhalila nosiku, owe manane na hubhole, Rafiki wane hopele amabumnda gatatu.
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 Afwanaje orafiki wane afishile hwiline afamile msafari, nane sendi nahantu eshabheshe hwitagalila lyakwe.'
for a friend of mine has 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 within will answer and say, ‘Don’t bother me. The door is now shut, and my children are with me in bed. I can’t get up and give it 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, 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 Nane embabhola, Labhaji, mbhapewe; anzaji, namwe mbhalole, ganezyaje, nemwa mbhahwalwe.
“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 Afwanaje shila yalabha apewa, wape ya hwanza alola, wape yadaliha ahwaulwa.
For everyone who asks receives. He who seeks finds. To him who knocks it will be opened.
11 Eshi wenu hwalimwe, yali Yise wenyuyaje omwana wukwe, nkalabhe ibumnda ahupela iwe
“Which of you fathers, if your son asks for bread, will give him a stone? Or if he asks for a fish, he won’t give him a snake instead of a fish, will he?
12 au samaki badala ya samaki ahupela enzoha?
Or if he asks for an egg, he won’t give him a scorpion, will he?
13 Eshi, ekiwa amwe mwemli bhibhi mmenye abhapele abhana bhenyu evintu evinza, eshi oBaba warimwanya sabhazide abhapele opepo ozelu bhala bhabhalabha?”
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 Wape ali, ahwefwa ipepo, ibubu. lyabha ipepo nalyepa, ola obubu wayanga, mabongano bhaswiga.
He was casting out a demon, and it was mute. When the demon had gone out, the mute man spoke; and the multitudes marvelled.
15 Bhamo bhayanga, ahwefwa pepo, Beelzebul, gosi we pepo.
But some of them said, “He casts out demons by Beelzebul, the prince of the demons.”
16 Bhamo bhalenga bhamwanza ishala yefuma amwanya.
Others, testing him, sought from him a sign from heaven.
17 Wape azimenye esebho zyabho, wabhabhola, shila umwene wauvisenye wowo kwa wowo, ubhombeha sheukwa, nekhaya juu yekhaya egwa.
But he, knowing their thoughts, said to them, “Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation. A house divided against itself falls.
18 Eshi nkebhe Oshetani avisenye juu ye nafsi yakwe, umwene wakwa ubhahwemelele wele, afanaje amwe mjile ane ehwefwa mapepo hwa Belzebuli.
If Satan also is divided against himself, how will his kingdom stand? For you say that I cast out demons by Beelzebul.
19 Eshi nkashile ane ehwefwa pepo Belzebuli, je abhana bhenu, mbhabhefwe hwananu, afwanaje, ebho bhabhayibhalonga.
But if I cast out demons by Beelzebul, by whom do your children cast them out? Therefore they will be your judges.
20 Lelo, nkashele ane efumya amapepo hushidole sha Ngolobhe, eshu umwene owa Ngolobhe ubhenzeye.
But if I by God’s finger cast out demons, then God’s Kingdom has come to you.
21 Omntu yali namaha ahwipinyile endoso zyakwe, nalinda ekhaya yakwe, evintu evyakwa vilishinza.
“When the strong man, fully armed, guards his own dwelling, his goods are safe.
22 Lelo omntu yali namaha ashile omwahale na bhahubhalile nahumene, na hufyole endoso zyakwe zyasobheye, na gabhanye amateka gakwe.
But when someone stronger attacks him and overcomes him, he takes from him his whole armour in which he trusted, and divides his plunder.
23 Omntu ambaye salipandwemo nane, oyo alishinyume nane na omntu yasabhonganya pandwemo nane anyapanya.
“He who is not with me is against me. He who doesn’t gather with me scatters.
24 Opepo ochafu nafuma hwamntu, ashililila pasepali menze. Ahwanza apatoye sapalela, ayanga.
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 Embayiwelele enyumba yane mwefumele.
When he returns, he finds it swept and put in order.
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 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 Yabha nawayanga amazu ego, oshe om katika obongano akholile hwizu lyakwe, wabhola heri evyanda vyavyapepe, na mabhele gohoshile.
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 Lelo omwahale ayanjile, nafu, aheli bhahwovwa izu elya Ngolobhe na likhate.
But he said, “On the contrary, blessed are those who hear 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 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 Eshi, nkasile shila o Yona shari ishara hwa bhaninawi, shesho shayibha omwana owa Adamu hushikholo eshi.
For even as Jonah became a sign to the Ninevites, so the Son of Man will also 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 will rise up in the judgement 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 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 Nineveh will stand up in the judgement with this generation, and will condemn it, for they repented at the proclaiming of Jonah; and behold, 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.
“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 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 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 Enya eshi olukhozyo lwalimhati yaho osije ogabha nkisi.
Therefore see whether the light that is in you isn’t 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 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 Nali ayanga, o Falisayo omo akwizizye abhale hwamwahale alye ehsalye, winjila, wakhala pa shalye.
Now as he spoke, a certain Pharisee asked him to dine with him. He went in and sat at the table.
38 Farisayo oyo nalolile, aswijile afwanaje saganawile sasele alye.
When the Pharisee saw it, he marvelled that he had not first washed himself before dinner.
39 Ogosi wabhola, “Amwe mwafalisayo mhwozya eshikombo ne sahani wonze lelo mhati yenyu mmemile afyole no ubhibhi.
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 Amwe mwalema yabhombile evya hwonza seyoyo yabhombile evya mhati antele?
You foolish ones, didn’t he who made the outside make the inside also?
41 Ulo fumyaji esadaka vila evya mhati ne enya, vyonti vibhovinza hwilimwe.
But give for gifts to the needy those things which are within, and behold, all things will be clean to 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 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 Ole wenyu Mwafarisayo, afwanaje msongwa akhale hwitagalila elye mabhanza na lamhane msokoni.
Woe to you Pharisees! For you love the best seats in the synagogues and the greetings in the marketplaces.
44 Ole wenyu, afwanaje mlengene na makabuli gasegabhone amago abhantu nabhashilla juu yakwe sebhali nehabari nago.”
Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you are like hidden graves, and the men who walk over them don’t know it.”
45 Omntu omo katika abhanasheria wagalula, wabhalola sambelezi, ayanje esho otilajiye ate natee.
One of the Torah scholars answered him, “Rabbi, in saying this you insult us also.”
46 Wayanga, namwe mbhanasheria, ole wenyu afwanaje mbhatweha abhantu amazigo gasega nyeruha wala amwe bhenyewe semgapalamasya amazigo ego hata huvidole vyenyu shimo.
He said, “Woe to you Torah scholars also! For you load men with burdens that are difficult to carry, and you yourselves won’t even lift one finger to help carry those burdens.
47 Ole wenyu afwanaje mzenga maziala aga kuwa na ayise bhenyu afwanaje bhabhagojile.
Woe to you! For you build the tombs of the prophets, and your fathers killed them.
48 Eshi mshuhudila na zyetishe embombo ezya yise bhenyu, afwanaje bhahale bhabhagojile namwe mbhazenjela amaziala.
So you testify and consent to the works of your fathers. 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.
Therefore also the wisdom of God said, ‘I will send to them prophets and emissaries; and some of them they will kill and persecute,
50 Ili hupapwa ene liwahwenze idanda elya kuwa wonti, yehitishe afume azengwe omsingi ogwensi.
that the blood of all the prophets, which was shed from the foundation of the world, may be required of 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 Zechariah, who perished between the altar and the sanctuary.’ Yes, I tell you, it will 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 Torah scholars! For you took away the key of knowledge. You didn’t enter in yourselves, and those who were entering in, you hindered.”
53 Nawafuma omwo asimbi na Mafalisayo bhandile husonje shibhibhi na husinjizye humaswali gaminji.
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 Bhahuzijila ili bhapata enongwa zya zifuma mwilumu lyakwe.
lying in wait for him, and seeking to catch him in something he might say, that they might accuse him.
