Luke 11 (BOU) · Opened

1Msi umwe, Yesu kawa hantu akavika. Ekubindaho kumvika Muungu, yumwe wa wahina wakwe akamwamba, “Zumbe, takunda utihinye kuvika inga Yohana mbatiiza ekuwahinyavyo wahina wakwe.”One day in a place where Jesus had just finished praying, one of His disciples requested, “Lord, teach us to pray, just as John taught his disciples.”

2Yesu akawamba, “Mkavika Muungu, gombekani ivi, ‘Tate yetu weuko uwanga kwa Muungu Zina dako ditogolwe, Useuta wako weze.So Jesus told them, “When you pray, say: ‘Father, hallowed be Your name. Your kingdom come.

3Utekhe khande yetu kiya msi.Give us each day our daily bread.

4Utiekee mavigaviga yetu, Kwaajii swie tiwaekeavyo wose wekutikoseao, Wala wesekutingiza mwe mageezo.’ ”And forgive us our sins, for we also forgive everyone who sins against us. And lead us not into temptation.’”

5Naho Yesu akawamba wahina wakwe, “Nndai gatigati yenu mwenye mmbuya wakwe akamwezea na kio kikuu akamwamba, ‘Mmbuya nekha mabumunda matatu.Then Jesus said to them, “Suppose one of you goes to his friend at midnight and says, ‘Friend, lend me three loaves of bread,

6Kwaajii mmbuya wangu kanezea alawa ntambo, namiye khina khande ya kumwekha.’because a friend of mine has come to me on a journey, and I have nothing to set before him.’

7Naho yuda mwe kuwa gati akamtambaisa, ‘Usekunipisha uvi uvugalwa kae, miye na wanangu tigona kae, khidaha kwenuka na kukwekha ukundacho.’And suppose the one inside answers, ‘Do not bother me. My door is already shut, and my children and I are in bed. I cannot get up to give you anything.’

8Kwei nawagombeka inga uyo mntu khana enuke na kumwekha ayo mabumunda kwaajii ni mmbuya wakwe, akini kwaajii ya uyo mntu kwesekuona soni kuendeea kwakwe kumwetanga enda enuke na kumwekha kia ekukikundacho.I tell you, even though he will not get up to provide for him because of his friendship, yet because of the man’s persistence, he will get up and give him as much as he needs.

9“Ivyo nawagombakeni, ombezani nanywi mwondamwekhigwe, ondezani na nywie mndampate, kontani uvi nanywi mwenda mvuguiwe.So I tell you: Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and the door will be opened to you.

10Kwaviya kia aombezaye ekhigwa, na kia aondezaye endaekhigwe na kia akontaye uvi avugwiiwa.For everyone who asks receives; he who seeks finds; and to him who knocks, the door will be opened.

11Hambu kuna yoyose gatigati mwenu, mwana yakwe akamwombeza samaki, enda amwekhe nyoka na khiyo samaki?What father among you, if his son asks for a fish, will give him a snake instead?

12Hambu mwana akamwomba tagi, endaamwekhe kisuse?Or if he asks for an egg, will give him a scorpion?

13Naho nywinywi wenye mavigaviga mwadaha kuwekha wana wenu vintu vyedi, kwei tati yenu wa uwanga kwa Muungu endaagosoe muno, endaawekhe Muye wa Muungu wada wamuombezao!”So if you who are evil know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father in heaven give the Holy Spirit to those who ask Him!”

14Naho Yesu ekuwaho amlavya zaiko mwe kuwa kwa mntu ekuwaye khadaha kutamwiiya. Yuda zaiko ekumlawaho yuda mntu mwekuwa khadaha kutamwiiya, nee avoka kutamwiiya na zumwezumwe da wantu dikahondomaa.One day Jesus was driving out a demon that was mute. And when the demon was gone, the man who had been mute spoke. The crowds were amazed,

15Akini wamwe wa wantu awo wakagombeka, “Aguusa mazaiko kwakwekhigwa udaho wa Belizebuli, yuda muongoezi wa Mazaiko.”but some of them said, “It is by Beelzebul, the prince of the demons, that He drives out demons.”

16Wantu watuhu wakamgeeza, wakaonda awaonyeshe utangio kulawa uwanga kwa Muungu.And others tested Him by demanding a sign from heaven.

17Akini yee, akamanya mamakhanyi zao, akawamba, “Useuta wowose wekuiganyikao vizumwezumwe vihiganavyo khaudaha kwekaisa, naho wandugu wowose wenao khumbizi wadagamia.”Knowing their thoughts, Jesus said to them, “Every kingdom divided against itself will be laid waste, and a house divided against a house will fall.

18Inga Ibiisi akahigana yee mwenye, useuta wakwe wendagooke viivihi? Isasa mwadaha viivihi kugombeka ati nalavya mazaiko kwa udaho wa Belizebuli?If Satan is divided against himself, how can his kingdom stand? After all, you say that I drive out demons by Beelzebul.

19Naho, inga miye nkawaguusa mazaiko kwa udaho Belizebuli, hata wahina wenu pia wawaguusa kwa udaho wakwe, kwaajii iyo wahina wenu nee wendaowawamuiye nywinywi.And if I drive out demons by Beelzebul, by whom do your sons drive them out? So then, they will be your judges.

20Akini ikawa naguusa mazaiko kwa udaho wa Muungu, manyeni kuwa useuta wa Muungu ubuakae kwenu.But if I drive out demons by the finger of God, then the kingdom of God has come upon you.

21“Mntu mwenye muku aindaho nyumba yakwe kwa guha na uta, vintu vyakwe vyose vyendaviwe mwe uivanisa.When a strong man, fully armed, guards his house, his possessions are secure.

22Akini akeza mwenye muku muno, akamfuntia na kumvota, mntu uyo endaadoe vitoanavyo vyakwe ekutegemeavyo na kudoa vintu vyakwe vyose.”But when someone stronger attacks and overpowers him, he takes away the armor in which the man trusted, and then he divides up his plunder.

23“Yoyose mwesekwevana nami ahigana nami, na mntu yoyose mwesekuika hamwe nami, endaamwaganise.”He who is not with Me is against Me, and he who does not gather with Me scatters.

24“Zaiko dimlawaho mntu daangadika hantu kwesiho na mazi na kuondeza hantu ha kuhumwiiza. Akesekuhapata egombekeya nindaniuuwiye ida nyumba yangu nekulawayo.”When an unclean spirit comes out of a man, it passes through arid places seeking rest and does not find it. Then it says, ‘I will return to the house I left.’

25Auyaho aibwiiya ida nyumba ihagiwa na vintu viikwa vitana.On its return, it finds the house swept clean and put in order.

26Naho aita na kuwadoa mazaiko watuhu mfungate wafyaimi muno kusima yee, wose waita wakamwengia mntu uyo. Ivyo ugima wa mntu uyo undautendese kuwa wa ufyaimi muno kusima aho bosi.Then it goes and brings seven other spirits more wicked than itself, and they go in and dwell there. And the final plight of that man is worse than the first.”

27Yesu ekuwaho akatamwiiya ayo, mvyee yumwe gatigati ya diya zumwezumwe da wantu, akagombeka kwa mgutio mkuu, “Kajaiwa mvyee ekukuvyaae na kukuonkesa.”As Jesus was saying these things, a woman in the crowd raised her voice and said, “Blessed is the womb that bore You, and blessed are the breasts that nursed You!”

28Yesu akamtambaisa, “Akini wajaiwa muno wada wategeezao mbui ya Muungu na kuizumiiya.”But He replied, “Blessed rather are those who hear the word of God and obey it.”

29Zumwezumwe da wantu wekutendesaho kugenyea, Yesu akaendeea kuhinya akagombeka, “Iki ni kivyazi chenye mavigaviga. Chaondeza utangio, akini khakinachekigwe utangio wowose iya utangio wa Yona.As the crowds were increasing, Jesus said, “This is a wicked generation. It demands a sign, but none will be given it except the sign of Jonah.

30Inga viya Yona ekuwavyo utangio kwa wantu wa Ninawi, nee vyendavyo viwe kwa Mwana wa Mntu kwa kivyazi iki.For as Jonah was a sign to the Ninevites, so the Son of Man will be a sign to this generation.

31Seuta wa kivyee wa Sheba endaalawiiye kisingi kivyazi iki chendavyo kiamuiwe na Muungu, nae endaatamwiiye kivyazi iki kina mavigaviga. Kwaviya yee nee katamba kulawa hae mwe inusi, akeza kutegeeza umanyi wa Seemani na niaha nekuwae mkuu kusima Seemeni.”The Queen of the South will rise at the judgment with the men of this generation and condemn them; for she came from the ends of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon, and now One greater than Solomon is here.

32“Wantu wa Ninawi wendawalawiiye kisingi cha kuamuiwa, nao wenda waonyeshe kivyazi iki kina mavigaviga. Kwaviya wantu wa Ninawi newahituka kwa kubada mavigaviga yao kwaajii ya ubiikizi wa Yona, niaha nekuwae mkuu kusima Yona.”The men of Nineveh will stand at the judgment with this generation and condemn it; for they repented at the preaching of Jonah, and now One greater than Jonah is here.

33“Khahana mntu awashae taa na kuigubika kwa nyungu, iya aiika uwanga ya kiango wantu wengiao mda gati wadahe kuona ung'azi.No one lights a lamp and puts it in a cellar or under a basket. Instead, he sets it on a stand, so those who enter can see the light.

34Taa ya mwii wako ni sizo. Inga meso yako yendayakauwe vitana he ung'azi mwii wako wose wenda uwe vitana, na inga meso yako khayana yakauwe vitana aho mwii wako wenda uwe na kiza.Your eye is the lamp of your body. When your eyes are good, your whole body also is full of light. But when they are bad, your body is full of darkness.

35Naho ukauwe, ung'azi weumo mwe mwii wako usekweza kuwa kiza.Be careful, then, that the light within you is not darkness.

36Naho inga mwii wako wose ukawa na ung'azi, na kwesekuwa na hantu hohose he kiza, mwii uwo wenda ung'ae vyedi muno inga viya taa ikumwiikavyo kwa ung'azi wakwe.”So if your whole body is full of light, with no part of it in darkness, you will be radiant, as though a lamp were shining on you.”

37Yesu ekuwaho atamwiiya, mntu yumwe Mfalisayo neamgoneka akade khande kaya kwakwe. Yesu nee aita, akekaa kuda khande.As Jesus was speaking, a Pharisee invited Him to dine with him; so He went in and reclined at the table.

38Uyo Mfalisayo ne ahondomaa kuona Yesu ada khande kwesao kusunta mikono inga yekuwavyo wagosoa kia msi.But the Pharisee was surprised to see that Jesus did not first wash before the meal.

39Zumbe akamwamba, “Nywinywi Mafalisayo mwasunta via vya kudiiya khande kwa chongoi, akini ndani mmema uhokaji na mavigaviga.Then the Lord said, “Now you Pharisees clean the outside of the cup and dish, but inside you are full of greed and wickedness.

40Nywie wahezi! Khammanya kuwa Muungu yee nee mwekugosoa chongoi nee uyo mwe kugosoa na ndani?You fools! Did not the One who made the outside make the inside as well?

41Wekheni wakiwa vintu mwekuwavyo navyo, na kiya kintu mgosoacho kindakiwe vyedi kwenu.But give as alms the things that are within you, and behold, everything will be clean for you.

42“Akini mmbwii yenu Mafalisayo, kwaviya mwamwekha Mungu hantu ha kumi dimwe mnanaa na bwache na kiya mbai za mboga za mani, akini mwajaa haki na ukundiso wa Muungu. Naho iwakunda kulavya malavyo ayo, wala msekujaa kugosoa matuhu.Woe to you Pharisees! For you pay tithes of mint, rue, and every herb, but you disregard justice and the love of God. You should have practiced the latter without neglecting the former.

43“Mmbwii yenu nywinywi Mafalisayo, kwaajii nywie mwakunda kwekaa mwe vigoda he meso ya wantu mwe Nyumba za kukintania Wayahudi na kuuguswa kwa ishima mwe maguiyo.Woe to you Pharisees! For you love the chief seats in the synagogues and the greetings in the marketplaces.

44Mmbwii yenu Mafalisayo kwaajii nywinywi inga mambiya yekwagayo, wantu wayajata kwesiho kumanya.”Woe to you! For you are like unmarked graves, which men walk over without even noticing.”

45Yumwe wa wahinyi wa miagiiyo akamwamba, “Mhinyi, mbui zako zatidumuwa na swie.”One of the experts in the law told Him, “Teacher, when You say these things, You insult us as well.”

46Yesu akamtambaisa, “Na nywinywi wahinyi wa miagiiyo, mmbwii yenu, kwaviya mwawatwika wantu fuushi zesazokwenukika, uku nywinywi khamnyoosha hata chaa kuwaambiza.“Woe to you as well, experts in the law!” He replied. “For you weigh men down with heavy burdens, but you yourselves will not lift a finger to lighten their load.

47Mmbwii yenu, kwaviya mwazenga mambiya ya waoni wa Muungu wada ambao wadaa wenu nee wawakoma.Woe to you! For you build tombs for the prophets, but it was your fathers who killed them.

48Nanywi wenye wavuhuzi na kwevana na mbui ya wadaa wenu, kwaviya wao nee wawakoma waoni wa Muungu, na nywinywi mwazenga mambia yao.So you are witnesses consenting to the deeds of your fathers: They killed the prophets, and you build their tombs.

49Kwa iyo Muungu nee kagombeka kwa umanyi wakwe, ‘Nendaniwegaiye waoni wa Muungu na wagiiwa, akini wamwe wao wendawawakome, na kuwasuumiza watuhu.’Because of this, the wisdom of God said, ‘I will send them prophets and apostles; some of them they will kill and others they will persecute.’

50Kivyazi iki chendachekhigwe sugusa kwaajii ya phome ya waoni yekuyetikayo tangia kuvokea inusi yekugosokaho,As a result, this generation will be charged with the blood of all the prophets that has been shed since the foundation of the world,

51tangia phome ya Abeli adi phome ya Zakalia mwe kukomwa gatigati ya ingo na hantu ha Muungu. Eehe, kwei kivyazi chendachekigwe sugusa kwa mbui zakwe.from the blood of Abel to the blood of Zechariah, who was killed between the altar and the sanctuary. Yes, I tell you, all of it will be charged to this generation.

52“Mmbwii yenu nywinywi wahinyi wa miagiiyo, kwaajii muufisa uda ufunguo wa uvi wa kummanya Muungu nywie wenye khamokwengia na muwakindia wekuwaho wengia wasekwengia.”Woe to you experts in the law! For you have taken away the key to knowledge. You yourselves have not entered, and you have hindered those who were entering.”

53Yesu ekuwaho alawa hada, wada Mafalisayo na wahinyi wa miko ne wavoka kuhigana nae vikai muno na kumsongeeza kwa kumuuza mbui nyingi,As Jesus went on from there, the scribes and Pharisees began to oppose Him bitterly and to ply Him with questions about many things,

54wakambengea wategeeze mbui ilawayo kwe miomo yakwe.waiting to catch Him in something He might say.
