1 jilyahumile ikighono kino, uYesu alyale ikufunya pamonga, um'bulanisivua ghwake jumo akam'bulagha kuuti,” Mutwa, utuvulanisie najusue kukufunya ndavule uYohani alyavulanisie avavulanisivua vake”
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 uYesu akamwamula pano mukufunya mutisaghe, “Mutwa ilitavua lyako lyimikwaghe, uvwimike vwako vwisaghe.
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 utupelaghe ifyakulia fiitu ifya jaatu.
Give us day by day our daily bread.
4 utusaghilaghe inyivi siitu, ndavule najusue tukuvasaghila voni vano vatuhokile. nungalulongosiaghe munngelo”
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 uYesu akavavula akati, “ghwe veeni mu lyumue umanyani juno ikumulutila pakilo pe ikum'bula, manyani nisuuma amakate ghatatu.
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 ulwakuva umanyani ghwango anyisile si sala sisisi kuhuma muvukyusi, najune nilinsila ikya kun'tengelela. nu
for a friend of mine has come to me from a journey, and I have nothing to set before him,’
7 ghwa mun'kate akamwamulagha akati uleke kunyangajisia, na june tughonile pa vulili. naningasisimuke nikupeele uve amakate.
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 nikuvavula nambe naisisimuka kukumpela amakate ndavule umanyani ghwake, ulwakuva ijigha idindusia kisita soni isisimuka na kukumpela amakate minga ndavule vuno ilonda.
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 najune nikuvavula musumaghe najumue mulapelua, mulondaaghe najumue mulafivona, muhodesyaghe najumue mulyadindulivua.
“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 ulwakuva ummunhu ghweni juno isuuma alyupila, nu muunhu ghweni juno ilonda ikufyagha. nu munhu ghweni juno ihodesia umulyango ilidindulivua.
For everyone who asks receives. He who seeks finds. To him who knocks it will be opened.
11 ghwe baba juliku mu lyumue juno umwanake angasume iswi ikumpela injoka?
“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 kange nave angasuume ilikang'a ikumpela iking'omelivuli?
Or if he asks for an egg, he won’t give him a scorpion, will he?
13 nave umue mwe vahosi mukimanyile kuvapela avaanha vinu ifinu ifinofu, lino uNhaata ghwinu ughwa kukyanya nakyaikuvapela uMhepo uMwimike ku vano vikunsuuma?
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 pambele uYesu alyale idaga ilipepo, umuunhu ynya lipepo alyale kinunu. ilipepo ye lihumile umuunhu jula akatengula kujova.
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 neke avaanhu avange vakati, “uju ivusia amapepo mwa Belisebuli, ili vaha lya mapepo.
But some of them said, “He casts out demons by Beelzebul, the prince of the demons.”
16 avange vakamughelagha kuuti avasone ikivalilo kuhuma kukyanya.
Others, testing him, sought from him a sign from heaven.
17 neke uYesu akakagula amasaghe ghave akavavulagha, uvutwa vwovwoni vuno muligalung'ana vuliva vuvili, nu muunhu unya nyumba jino jigalungiine jilighua.
But he, knowing their thoughts, said to them, “Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation. A house divided against itself falls.
18 nave uSetan iiva agalung'iine uvutwa vwake vukwimila ndani? ulwakuva mwiti nihumia amapepo mwa Belisebuli.
If Satan also is divided against himself, how will his kingdom stand? For you say that I cast out demons by Beelzebul.
19 neke une nihumia amapepo mwa Belisebuli, pe avajiinu vihumia amapepo kusila nyiki? mu uluo, avene vilikuvahigha umue.
But if I cast out demons by Beelzebul, by whom do your children cast them out? Therefore they will be your judges.
20 nave kange nihumia amapepo ni kyove ikya Nguluve, lino uvutwa vwa Nguluve vuvisile.
But if I by God’s finger cast out demons, then God’s Kingdom has come to you.
21 umuunhu umunya ngufu pano alinifilwilo ilolela inyumba jake, ifinu fyake viiva pavunofu.
“When the strong man, fully armed, guards his own dwelling, his goods are safe.
22 neke amwalukile umuunhu unya ngufu kyongo, umuunhu jula unya ngufu ilikunya ifilwilo fyake pe itola ifiinu fyake fyooni.
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 umwene juno na lubale lwango alikinsana nune, na juno naikong'ania palikimo nune ipalasania.
“He who is not with me is against me. He who doesn’t gather with me scatters.
24 ilipepo ililamafu likahuma kwa muunhu, iluta kulonda uvukalo uvusila malenga apuo apume. neke napakavonike, ijova iti, nigomoka kuno nikahumile.
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 angagomoke nene ivoona inyumba jifyaghililue pejikale vunofu.
When he returns, he finds it swept and put in order.
26 apuo peliluta kulonda amapepo likale lubale ghano mahosi kukila ilyene neke likuvaleta vise vikale pala apuo umuunhu ujuo ilemua kyongo kukila ulutasi.
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 jilyahumile kuuti alyatile ijova amasio aghuo, un'dala jumonga akajova fiijo kukila vooni mulipugha lya vaanhu na kujova, “lifunyilue ilileme lino likuholile na mavele ghano ghwong'ile”
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 neke umwene akati, vafunyilue vala vano vipulika ilisio lya Nguluve na kukulivombela.
But he said, “On the contrary, blessed are those who hear the word of God, and keep it.”
29 unsiki ilipugha lya vaanhu ye likong'aana na kukwongelela uYesu akatengula kujova, “ikisina iki kye kisina kya vuhosi. vilonda ikivalilo, na kusila kivalilo kino vipelua kukila ikivalilo kila ikya Yoona.
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 ulwakuva ndavule u Yoona alyale kivalilo ku vaanhu va Ninaawi enendikio nu mwana ghwa Muunhu fye iliva kivalilo kya kisina iki.
For even as Jonah became a sign to the Ninevites, so the Son of Man will also be to this generation.
31 uMalikia ughwa ku seba ilikwima ikighono kya vuhighi na vaanhu va kisina iki na kukuvahigha aveene, ulwakuva umwene alyahumile mu vusililo vwa iisi neke iise apulikisie uvukoola vwa solomoni, napa pwale juno m'baha kukila uSolomoni.
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 avaanhu va kuNinawi vilikwima ku highua palikimo na vaanhu va kisina iki ikighono kya vuhighi vili kukihigha, ulwakuva aveene valyalatile ku madalikili gha Yoona, pe lola apa pwale juno m'baha kukila uYoona.
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 nakwale umuunu ghweni juno ikunga itaala na kuvika ku lubale lwa paasi lwa ng'iisi jino najivoneka nambe paasi pa ndilo, neke kukunga na kuvika pakyanya pa kinu neke kuuti umuunhu ghweni juno ikwingila alyaghaghe ulumuli.
“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 iliso lyako je taala ja m'bili. iliso lyako lingave linono pe umb'ili gwaki ghwoni ghuve mulumuli. neke iliso lyako lingave livivi pe naghubili ghwako ghwoni ghuva ghunya ng'iisi.
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 pe lino mujilolelelaghe nu lumuli luno luli n'kate jinu nalungaponekesiaghe ing'iisi
Therefore see whether the light that is in you isn’t darkness.
36 pe lino, ndeve um'bili ghwako ghwoni ghuli mu lumuli kange nakwelule ulubale luno luli mung'iisi, pe um'bili ghwako ghuva ndavule itaala jino jiviika na kuhumia ulumuli kulyumue”.
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 ye ati amalile pijova, uFalisayi akamughongola akalie ikyakulia ku nyumba jaake, uYesu akingila mu n'kate na kuuva palikimo navope. na
Now as he spoke, a certain Pharisee asked him to dine with him. He went in and sat at the table.
38 vasalisayi vakadegha ndavule nakanawile taasi ye kikyale ikyakulia ikya pakivwilile.
When the Pharisee saw it, he marvelled that he had not first washed himself before dinner.
39 neke UMtwa akavavula, “umue vaFarisayi musuka kunji ifikombe ni bakuli, neke nkate jinu mumemile inoghelua nu vuhosi.
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 mwe vaanhu mwe vasila vukagusi, pe umwene juno alyavumbile kunji nalyavumbile mun'kate kange?
You foolish ones, didn’t he who made the outside make the inside also?
41 muvapelaghe avakotofu fino fili mun'kate, ni mbombo sooni siiva nofu kulyumue.
But give for gifts to the needy those things which are within, and behold, all things will be clean to you.
42 iga umue mwe vafalisayi, ulwakuva namuvikila umwoojo kukuvavombela avange inofu na kuku mughana uNguluve. lwe lunono fiijo kuvomba isa kyang'haani na kukumughana uNguluve, kisila kuvuhila kuvomba aghuo na ghange kange.
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 iga umue Mafalisayi, ulwakuva munoghelua kukukala mu fitengo ifya kuvulongolo mu nyumba inyimike ja kufunyila na kuhungilua ni nyungililo isa vukoola kuno vighusikisia na kughulila.
Woe to you Pharisees! For you love the best seats in the synagogues and the greetings in the marketplaces.
44 iga umue, ulwakuva muling'ana ni mbiipa sino sisila fivalilo fino avaanhu vighenda mimbiipa isio kisila kukagula.
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 umb'ulanisi jumonga ghwa ndaghilo sa Kiyahudi akamwamula na kukumb'ula, “m'bulanisi, kino ghujova kikutukalasia kange usue”.
One of the Torah scholars answered him, “Rabbi, in saying this you insult us also.”
46 uYesu akati, “iga umue, vavulanisi va ndaghilo! kiki mukuvapela avaanhu amasigo amakome ghano naviwesia kupinda, neke umue namukola amasigho aghuo nambe ku kyove kimo mu fyove fiinu.
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 iga umue, ulwakuva mujenga na kuvika ikumbukumbu mu mbiipa sa vavili' vano vakabudilue na vaghogholo vinu.
Woe to you! For you build the tombs of the prophets, and your fathers killed them.
48 neke umue mukufunyila na kukwiting'ana ni mbombo sino valyavombile avaghogholo vinu, ulwakuva kyang'ani valyavabudile avavili vano mujenga ikumbukumbu mumbiipa saave.
So you testify and consent to the works of your fathers. For they killed them, and you build their tombs.
49 mu uluo kange, uvokoola vwa Nguluve vwiti, 'nikuvasung'ila avavili na vasung'ua vope vilikuvapumusia na kukuvabuda vamonga.
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 ikisina iki kilihombela idanda ja vavili vano vabudilue kuhuma muvutengululo vwa iisi,
that the blood of all the prophets, which was shed from the foundation of the world, may be required of this generation,
51 kuhuma idanda ja Abeli kuhanga idanda ja Sakalia, juno alyabudilue pakate pa vwimike. Ena nikuvavula umue, ikisina iki kilhombela.
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 iga umue vavulanisi va ndaghilo sa vayahudi, ulwakuva mutolile ifungulo sa vukagusi; kange jumue namukwingila, ku vala vano vilonda kukwingila mukuvasigha.
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 pe baho uYesu akavuka pala, avalembi na vafalisayi vakampinga na kujofesania nu mwene mu nyinga.
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 vakaghela kukuntanga ku masio ghake.
lying in wait for him, and seeking to catch him in something he might say, that they might accuse him.
