Luka 11
1 Nabumbi busuba Yesu walikapaila kumusena umo. Mpwalapwisha, umo weshikwiya wakendi wamwambileti, “Mwami, kamutwiyishani kupaila mbuli Yohane ncalaisha beshikwiya bakendi.”
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 Yesu walabambileti, “Pakupaila kamwambangeti, “Ta, lilemekwe lina lyenu lyaswepa, Bwami bwenu bwise.
So he said to them. "When you pray, say, "Father, hallowed be thy name; May thy kingdom come,
3 Mutupenga byakulya bilayandikinga lelo, kayi ne masuba onse.
"Give us day by day our bread for the coming day;
4 Mutulekelele bwipishi bwetu mbuli ncotukute kulekelela bantu beshikutwipishila, Kamutatutwala mumasunko.”
"Forgive us our sins; for we also forgive everyone who has offended us; "And bring us not into temptation."
5 Lino walabambileti, Nomba na umbi popele pano uya kung'anda yamunendi pakati pamashiku nekwambeti, Mwana, kombwelekako shinkwa utatu,
He also said to them. "Suppose you have a friend and you go to him, ‘My friend, lend me three loaves of bread,
6 pakwinga ndapolelwa mwensu uli pabulwendo. Lino ndiya cakumupa kwambeti alye!
"for a friend of mine is come to me from a journey, and I have nothing to set before him.’
7 Lino munobe akumbwila mukati eti, utanshupa! Kucishinga tulacalako kendi kayi ame nebana bakame tulono kendi. Nkandelela kupunduka kwambeti nkupe shinkwa.
"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 Ndamwambilingeti, nakapunduke nekumupa, kwakubula kwambeti nimunendi nsombi pakwinga lakakatili kumusenga. Nakamupe byonse mbyabula.
"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 Weco ndamwambilinga, kamusengani nimukapewe, kamulangolani nimukacane kayi kamukonkoshani nibakamucalilwe.
"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 “Pakwinga uyo weshi kusenga ukute kupewa, ne uyo weshi kulangola ukute kucana neye weshi kukonkosha nibakamucalwile.
"For he that asks receives, and he who seeks finds, and to him who knocks the door shall be opened.
11 lino niyani mushali pakati penu, na mwanendi umusenga inswi, sena ngomupa injoka?
"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 Nambi amusenga liyi, sena ngomupa kapilili?
"Or if he asks for an egg, will offer him a scorpion?
13 Nomba amwe, mobantu baipa, mukute kupa bana benu byaina, nomba bata ba kwilu ngabalilweconi kupa Mushimu Uswepa kuli abo balamusengenga?”
"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 Yesu walikafunya mushimu waipa walikukanisha muntuyo kwamba. Mushimu uyo mpowalafumamo, muntuyo walatatika kwamba. Neco bantu bonse balikubapo balakankamana.
Once he was casting out a dumb demon, and when the demon was gone out, the dumb man spoke, and the people wondered.
15 Nsombi bambi balambeti, “Ukute kufunya mishimu yaipa pakwinga Belezebulu emwami wa mishimu yaipa, eukute kumupa ngofu.”
But some of them said, "It is by Beelzebub, the prince of demons, that he cast out demons."
16 Cindi copeleco bambi balelesha kusunka Yesu eti ababoneshe cikankamanisho ceshi cifuma kwilu.
Others, tempting him, kept seeking from him a sign from heaven.
17 Nsombi Yesu walenshiba miyeyo yabo, Lino walabambileti, “Bulelo bonse bwabukilana ne kutatika kulwana, bulelo ubo bukute kumwaika. Na bantu ba mukowa umo babukilana, mukowa uwo ngomwaika.
He knew their intentions and said to them. "Every kingdom divided against itself is laid waste and house falls upon house.
18 Nomba na bwami bwa Satana bubukilana, nomba bwami ubo ngabuyuma econi? Amwe mulambangeti, nkute kupulisha mishimu yaipa ne ngofu sha Belezebulu.
"And if Satan also is divided against himself, how shall his kingdom stand?
19 Lino na ame ndapulishinga mishimu yaipa mbuli ncobalenshinga beshikwiya benu, nomba ame ngamung'ambeconi eti ndapulishinga mishimu yaipa ne ngofu sha Belezebulu, nomba beshikwiya benu balapulishinga mishimu yaipa nengofu shabani? Palico beshikwiya benu nibakamulesheti mwalubila.
"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 Nsombi na ame nkute kupulisha mishimu yaipa mungofu sha Lesa, ekwambeti Bwami bwa Lesa buli pakati penu.”
"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 Na muntu wangofu kalangilila ng'anda yakendi ne byensho, buboni bwakendi nkabwela kwibwapo.
"When the strong man fully aroused keeps guard over his homestead, his property is undisturbed;
22 Nsombi umbi wapitapo ngofu na lesa, nekumukoma, ukute kumanta bibya byakendi byonse mbyacinkilamo ne kuyabanya buboni mbwalebila bantu.
"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 “Muntu uliyense labulunga kwikatishana nenjame nimulwani wakame, uyo labulunga kunyamfwa kubunganisha mbelele, nendi niweshi kupalanganya.”
"He who is not for me is against me, and he who is not gathering with me is scattering.
24 “Na mushimu waipa ulafumu mumuntu, ukute kuya mumalundu a kuyandaula kwakupumwinina. Nakulabulu kucanika, ukute kwambeti, nimbwelele mung'anda yakame mondalafuma.
"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 Lino na ulabwelele ukute kucana ng'anda iyo yaswepa cena.
When it comes and finds the house completely swept and garnished.
26 Lino ukute kuletelapo imbi isanu ne ibili yapitapo pali nayo, kwambeti bengile nekwikala mumuntu uyo. Neco bwikalo bwamuntu uyo bukute kwipa kupita bwakutanguna.”
"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 Yesu mpwalapwisha kwambeco mutukashi umbi mulikoto walolobesheti, walelekwa mutukashi walakusema nekukuyamwisha.
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 Lino Yesu walakumbuleti, “bakute colwe abo balanyumfunga Maswi a Lesa ne kwinsa ncalambanga!”
"No, rather," he answered, "blessed are those who listen to the word of God, and keep it."
29 Bantu mpobalikuya kufula, Yesu walatatika kwambeti, “Bantu bacino cindi baipa, bakute kuyanda kubona cingashilo cishikufuma kwilu, lino nteshibakacibonepo cingashilo ico, nsombi ca mushinshimi 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 Mbuli Yona ncalikuba cingashilo ku Ninive, neye Mwana Muntu nakabe cingashilo capewa kubantu ba cino cindi.
"for as Jonah became a sign to the Ninevites, so shall the Son of man be to this generation.
31 Pabusuba bwakubeteka mwami mutukashi wa kumbonshi kwa cishi ca Sheba nakamutoteke pakwinga walafuma kwakuma cishi kwisa akunyumfwa mano a Solomoni. Kamubonani pano mpwali wapita Solomoni
"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 Pabusuba bwakubetekwa, bantu baku Ninive nibakapunduke pamo ne bantu bamusemano uwu, nibakabatoteke. Pakwinga balo balasanduka kufuma kubwipishi, mpwalabakambaukila Yona. Lino mpwali pano wapita 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 “Kuliya muntu wela kumunika lampi ne kwisoleka nambi kwifwekelela ne nongo, nsombi ukute kwibika pelu kwambeti imunikile bonse balengilinga mung'anda.
"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 Menso enu emumuni wa mubili wenu. Na menso enu ali cena. Ne mubili wonse ukute kuba mu mumuni. Nsombi na menso enu abula kuba cena, mubili wonse ukute kuba mumunshinshe.
"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 Lino kamucenjelani kwambeti mumuni uli muli njamwe utaba mushinshe.
"Look carefully! Perhaps that very light of yours is darkness.
36 Neco na mubili wonse kauli mumuni kwakubula mushinshe, mubili wonse ukutekuba mumuni mbuli lampi lilakumunikilinga.”
"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 Yesu mpwalapwisha kwamba, Mufalisi walamukuwa eti alye nendiye. Neco Yesu walaya mung'anda nekwikala kwambeti kulya.
When he had finished speaking a Pharisee asked him to dine with him; so he went in with him and reclined.
38 Mufalisi uyo walakankamana mpwalaboneti Yesu latatiki kulya katana asamba kumakasa kwelena ne myambo yabo.
And the Pharisee noticed, to his amazement, that he did not wash his hands before eating,
39 Popelapo Mwami Yesu walamwambileti, “Lino amwe Bafalisi mukute kusuka kunsa kwambale nenkomeshi, nsombi mumyoyo yenu mwesula kulisuna ne nebukapondo.
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 mobantu baluya! Sena Lesa walalenga byakunsa ntendiye walalenga ne byamukati?
"Foolish men! Did not He who made the outside make the inside also?
41 Pakupa bapenga, mubapenga bintu ibyo bili mukati munkomeshi ne mumbale, Lino byonse bintu byenu nibikabe byaswepa.”
"Better cleanse what is within, and nothing will be unclean for you.
42 “Mapensho, kuli amwe Bafalisi! Pakwinga mulabikilinga mano kwambeti mupe Lesa ca likumi pa tuntu tungana tungangana tweshikulengesha kwambeti buchisa bununkile cena. Nsombi nkamukute kwinshila bantu bintu byalulama nambi kusuna Lesa. Pakwinga bintu ibi mwelela kubinsa, kwakubula kusula nabimbi ibyo.”
"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 “Mapensho nakabe pali njamwe Bafalisi! Pakwinga mukute kusala bipuna byabulemu mumanda akupaililamo, ne kusuna kupewa mitende yabulemu mumisena yakulishilamo.”
"Woe unto you Pharisee! for you delight in the best seats in the synagogue, and in the salutation in the market-places.
44 “Mapensho nakabe pali njamwe bafalisi, pakwinga mulyeti manda ataboneke ngobakute kulyatapo cakubula kwinshiba.”
"Woe unto you! for you are like the tombs which are hidden, and men walk over them unsuspecting."
45 Lino shikwiyisha Milawo umbi walakumbuleti, “Amwe mobeshikwiyisha pakwambeco nenjafwe mulatusampulunga.”
Hereupon one of the lawyers exclaimed, "But teacher, in saying such things you are also reproaching us also."
46 Yesu walambeti mapensho kuli abo beshikwiyisha Milawo pakwinga mukute kupa bantu mikuli yalema, nsombi amwe mobene nkamukumyuko nambi pang'ana.
"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 Mapensho nakbe pali njamwe, pakwinga mukute kwibaka byumbwe byaina byabashinshimi, kakuli bamashali benu ebalashina bashinshimi.
"Woe to you! for you are building the tombs of the prophets whom you ancestors killed.
48 Lino ekwambeti ico calensa bamashali benu cilaleshengeti mukute kucisuminisha kwambeti balo balashina bashinshimi amwe mwalebaka byumbwe.
"So you are witnesses, and you consent to the actions of your ancestors. for they killed them, and you build their tombs.
49 Weco Lesa mu mano akendi walambeti, ninkabatume bashinshimi ne batumwa, Lino nabambi pakati pabo nibakabashine kayi nabambi nibakabapenshewe.
"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 Nomba bantu bacino cindi nibakapewe mulandu wa bashinshimi bonse balashinwa kufuma kumatatikilo a cishi capanshi,
"so that the blood of all the prophets which was shed from the foundation of the world may be required from this generation,
51 Kutatikila kukushinwa kwa Abelo kushikila kukushinwa kwa Sakaliya, uyo walashinwa pakati pa cipaililo kayi ne Musena Uswepa wa Ng'anda yakendi Lesa. Ndamwambilingeti bantu ba musemano uwu nibakapewe mulandu palibi byonse.
"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 “Malele kuli abo beshikwiyisha milawo! Mwalamanta maki akucalwila bantu bamano. Amwe mobene muliya kwingila, mwalakanisha abo balikuyanda kwingila.”
"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 Yesu mpwalafuma mung'anda umo, beshikwiyisha Milawo kayi ne Bafalisi balatatika kumutongokila ne kumwipusha mipusho ingi yapusana pusana.
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 Balikuyanda kumucaninapo mulandu mumyambo yakendi.
laying in wait for him, in order to catch a word from his lips.
