Luke 6 (DOV) · Opened

1Lino zyakachitika muSabata awo Jesu nakalikuyabweenda akwiinda akati kamyuunda yazilyo, alimwi basikwiya bakwe bakabweza nseke zyazilyo, kabapukapuka akati kamaboko abo, akulya.One Sabbath Jesus was passing through the grainfields, and His disciples began to pick the heads of grain, rub them in their hands, and eat them.

2Pele bamwi babaFalisi bakati, “Nkaamboonzi nimuchita chitali mumulawu mubuzuba bwaSabata?”But some of the Pharisees asked, “Why are you doing what is unlawful on the Sabbath?”

3Wakasandula Jesu wakati, “Sa tamunabala eezyo nzyakachita Davita awo naakaba aanzala, mwini ambakali abo?Jesus replied, “Have you not read what David did when he and his companions were hungry?

4Wakanjila mung'anda yaLeza alimwi wabweza chinkwa chisalala mpawo walya chisela, alimwi wapa chimwi kuli baabo mbakalabo kuti balye, nikuba chakalimumulawu luzutu kuti bapayizi abalikke bachilye.” Mpawo wakati kulimbabo,He entered the house of God, took the consecrated bread and gave it to his companions, and ate what is lawful only for the priests to eat.”

5“Mwana a Muntu ngoMwami waSabata.”Then Jesus declared, “The Son of Man is Lord of the Sabbath.”

6Zyakachitika kuti imwi Sabata wakanjila muchikombelo chamaJuda wayisya bantu. Mumoomo mwakali mwalumi wakali akuboko kwachilisyo kwakayumide.On another Sabbath Jesus entered the synagogue and was teaching, and a man was there whose right hand was withered.

7Balembi bamulawo abaFalisi bakamulangisisya kuyanda kubona kuti ulaponya umwi na muSabata, kuti bamujanine kaambo kakumupa mulandu.Looking for a reason to accuse Jesus, the scribes and Pharisees were watching Him closely to see if He would heal on the Sabbath.

8Pele wakalizizi nzibakali kuyeeye alimwi wakati kumwalumi wakali akuboko kuyumide, “Nyampuka mpawo wiimikile akati kaboonse.” Aboobo wakanyampuka wayimikila aawo.But Jesus knew their thoughts and said to the man with the withered hand, “Get up and stand among us.” So he got up and stood there.

9Jesu wakati kulimbabo, “Ndamubuzya, chili mumulawu na muSabata kuchita bubotu na bubi kuvuna buumi na kujaya?”Then Jesus said to them, “I ask you, which is lawful on the Sabbath: to do good or to do evil, to save life or to destroy it?”

10Mpawo wakalangalanga kuli boonse wasikuti kumwaalumi, “Tandibika luboko lwako.” Wakachita mbubo, alimwi lwakatalamuka.”And after looking around at all of them, He said to the man, “Stretch out your hand.” He did so, and it was restored.

11Pesi bakazula kunyema abasikwaambilana kuti bamuchite buti Jesu.But the scribes and Pharisees were filled with rage and began to discuss with one another what they might do to Jesus.

12Zyakachitika mumazuba aayo mpakayinka kuchilundu kukukomba. Wakiinkila kunembo mansiku woonse mukukomba kuli Leza.In those days Jesus went out to the mountain to pray, and He spent the night in prayer to God.

13Nibwakacha, wakayita basikwiya bakwe kulinguwe, alimwi wakasala bali kkumi ababili, aabo mbakati mbatumwa.When daylight came, He called His disciples to Him and chose twelve of them, whom He also designated as apostles:

14Mazina abatumwa mbaba Sayimoni (oyo ngwakati Pita) a mukulana wakwe Endulu, Jemusi, Joni, Filipu, Bbatolomiyo,Simon, whom He named Peter, and his brother Andrew; James and John; Philip and Bartholomew;

15Matayo, Tomasi, Jemusi mwana wa Alufiyasi, Sayimoni walikutegwa muZiloti,Matthew and Thomas; James son of Alphaeus and Simon called the Zealot;

16Judasi Sikkaliyoti, wakazoba sikwaaba Jesu.Judas son of James, and Judas Iscariot, who became a traitor.

17Pele Jesu wakaseluka kuzwa kuchilundu ambakali aabo mpawo wiimikila antandabale amakamu mapati abasikwiya bakwe a bantu biingi bazwa kuJudiya a kuJelusalema akunkomwe yalwizi lwaTaya a Sidoni.Then Jesus came down with them and stood on a level place. A large crowd of His disciples was there, along with a great number of people from all over Judea, Jerusalem, and the seacoast of Tyre and Sidon.

18Bakaza kuzoswiilila kulinguwe akuponesegwa zilwazi zyabo. Bantu bakali kukatazigwa amyuuya mibi bakaponesegwa abalabo.They had come to hear Him and to be healed of their diseases, and those troubled by unclean spirits were healed.

19Woonse wakali munkamu wakali kweezya kumuguma nkambo manguzu akuponya akali kuzwa mulinguwe, alimwi wakabaponya boonse.The entire crowd was trying to touch Him, because power was coming from Him and healing them all.

20Mpawo wakalanga kulibasikwiiya bakwe alimwi wati, “Mulilongezedwe nywebo nobachete, nkambo bwami bwaLeza mbubwanu.Looking up at His disciples, Jesus said: “Blessed are you who are poor, for yours is the kingdom of God.

21Mulilongezedwe nywebo nimufwa nzala, nkambo muyokkutisigwa. Mulilongezedwe nimulila lino, nkambo muyooseka.Blessed are you who hunger now, for you will be filled. Blessed are you who weep now, for you will laugh.

22Mulilongezedwe nywebo nimuyosulwa abantu, alimwi bayomusaamika akumusampawula, akaambo kaMwana waMuntu.Blessed are you when people hate you, and when they exclude you and insult you and reject your name as evil because of the Son of Man.

23Mukabotelwe mubuzuba oobo akusotoka mulukondo, nkambo chakasimpe muyooba ampindu mpati kujulu, nkaambo basikale babo bakajisi basinsimi munzila ilibobu.Rejoice in that day and leap for joy, because great is your reward in heaven. For their fathers treated the prophets in the same way.

24Pele chabija kulindinywe nibavubi, nkaambo mwatambula kale luumbulizyo lwanu.But woe to you who are rich, for you have already received your comfort.

25Chabija kulindinywe nimukkusi lino, nkaambo muyooba anzala, chabija kulindinywe nimuseka lino, nkaambo muyolila akukwiila muchindi chitobela.Woe to you who are well fed now, for you will hunger. Woe to you who laugh now, for you will mourn and weep.

26Chabija kulindinywe na woonse muntu kawamba bubotu andinywe, nkaambo mbubo basikalebabo mbubakabajisi basinsimi bakubeja.Woe to you when all men speak well of you, for their fathers treated the false prophets in the same way.

27Pele ndati kulindinywe nimulikuswilizya, yanda basinkondonyokwe alimwi muchite zibotu kulimbabo bamusula.But to those of you who will listen, I say: Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you,

28Mulongezye baabo bamutuka alimwi mukombele aabo bamusukuusya.bless those who curse you, pray for those who mistreat you.

29Kuli wooyo ukuuma seya mupe lubo alimbi. Na umwi muntu wabweza chibaki chaajulu utamwiimi chakunsi.If someone strikes you on one cheek, turn to him the other also. And if someone takes your cloak, do not withhold your tunic as well.

30Pa kumuntu woonse uukukumbila. Na umwi muntu wabweza chintu chako utamwaambili kuti achiboozye kulinduwe.Give to everyone who asks you, and if anyone takes what is yours, do not demand it back.

31Mbuli mboyanda kuti bantu bakuchitile weelede kubachtila ayebo mbuboobo.Do to others as you would have them do to you.

32Na wayanda luzutu aabo bakuyanda mbulumbuunzi buli kulinduwe? Nkaambo nikuba abasizibi balabayanda aabo babayanda.If you love those who love you, what credit is that to you? Even sinners love those who love them.

33Na wachitila kabotu aabo bakuchitila kabotu, zikugwasyanzi? Nkaambo abalabo basizibi balazichita eezyo.If you do good to those who do good to you, what credit is that to you? Even sinners do the same.

34Na kogwasya biyo aabo bakonzya kukubweedezya nzuwabapa, chikugwasyayi? Nkaambo basizibi abalabo balapa basizibinyina, kuti bajane mpindu ikozyenie.And if you lend to those from whom you expect repayment, what credit is that to you? Even sinners lend to sinners, expecting to be repaid in full.

35Pesi muyande basinkondonyokwe mubachitile zibotu. Mupegwe mutalangili kupegwa lubo aboobo mpindu yenu iyooba mpati alimwi muyooba bana ba Simajulu, nkaambo we lwakwe uli aaluyando nikuba akulaabo batakwe luyando abasizibi.But love your enemies, do good to them, and lend to them, expecting nothing in return. Then your reward will be great, and you will be sons of the Most High; for He is kind to the ungrateful and wicked.

36Mube aaluzya nkaambo Wuso alakwe ulaaluzyalo.Be merciful, just as your Father is merciful.

37Mutabeteki, alimwi tamkoyobetekwa. Mutapi mulandu, alimwi tamukoyoopegwa mulandu. Mukalekelele bamwi, alimwi muyolekelelwa.Do not judge, and you will not be judged. Do not condemn, and you will not be condemned. Forgive, and you will be forgiven.

38Pa, alimwi chiyoopegwa kulinduwe. Cheelelo chibotezya - chisindiidwe akuzula chakufusuuka - chiyootiliilwa aazibelo zyako. Nkaambo mweelo ngobelesya nguwonya uyoobelesegwa kulinduwe.”Give, and it will be given to you. A good measure, pressed down, shaken together, and running over will be poured into your lap. For with the measure you use, it will be measured back to you.”

39Mpawo wakabaambila lubo chimbi chikozyanisyo. “Sa muntu moofu ulakonzya na kukwela moofunyina? Na wachita boobo, bobile te balawida mugolonga, anga tabakoowida na?Jesus also told them a parable: “Can a blind man lead a blind man? Will they not both fall into a pit?

40Sikwiiya takomeneni muyiisyi wakwe pe, pesi woonse kuti wayiisigwa ulamba mbuli muyiisyi wakwe.A disciple is not above his teacher, but everyone who is fully trained will be like his teacher.

41Nkaambonzi nolanga kasyapu kakasamu kali mulinso lyamwana wakwanu, pesi kotaboni chisamu chili mulilyako linso lyako nomwini?Why do you look at the speck in your brother’s eye but fail to notice the beam in your own eye?

42Ibuti mbonga ulakonzya kwaambila mwana wakwanu kuti, 'Mwanakesu, leka ndikugwisye kasyapu kakasamu kali mulinso lyako,' pesi iwe muli lyako linso kotabwene chisamu chilimo? Nduwe sikuupawupa! Sanguna ugwisye chisamu chilimulinso lyako, mpawo uyoobona kabotu kugwisya kasyapu kakasamu kali mulinso lyamwanakwanu.How can you say, ‘Brother, let me take the speck out of your eye,’ while you yourself fail to see the beam in your own eye? You hypocrite! First take the beam out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother’s eye.

43Nkaambo taakwe musamu mubotu uuzyala michelo iibolede, taaakwe munsamu uubolede uunga ulazyala muchelo mubotu.No good tree bears bad fruit, nor does a bad tree bear good fruit.

44Nkaambo awumwi munsamu ulizibikene amusyobo wamichelo nguuzyala. Nkaammbo bantu tabacheli nkuyu kuzwa kumuumvwa, nikuba kuchela masansa kuzwa kumoobankonono.For each tree is known by its own fruit. Indeed, figs are not gathered from thornbushes, nor grapes from brambles.

45Muntu mubotu kuzwa kububotu bwamoyo wakwe, alimwi muntu mubi kuzwa mububi bwamoyo wakwe ugwisya zibi. Nkaambo kuzwa mubuvule bwamoyo mulomo ulaambuula.The good man brings good things out of the good treasure of his heart, and the evil man brings evil things out of the evil treasure of his heart. For out of the overflow of the heart the mouth speaks.

46“Nkaamboonzi nimundiita kuti, 'Mwami, Mwami,' pesi tamulemeki zintu nzewamba?Why do you call Me ‘Lord, Lord,’ but do not do what I say?

47Woonse muntu uuza kulindime akumvwa majwi aangu alimwi kaalemeka, ndiyoomwambila kuti ulimbuli nyamanzi.I will show you what he is like who comes to Me and hears My words and acts on them:

48Ulimbuli muntu uuli kuyaka ng'anda, wakasya wanika mpawo wayaka ntalisyo yang'anda yakwe amwaala uusimide. Awo zambangulwe nilyasikide, maanzi miingi alakunka awuma ng'anda pesi taakakonzya kwpiizungania pe, nkaambo yakauyakwa kabotu.He is like a man building a house, who dug down deep and laid his foundation on the rock. When the flood came, the torrent crashed against that house but could not shake it, because it was well built.

49Pele uumvwa majwi aangu akutaalemeka, ulimbuli muntu uuyaka ng'anda aamuse kaatakwe ntalisyo, maanzi aakasika abukali bwawo bwakuuma ng'anda eeyo mpawo yawa lunyonyooko loonse lweenda amaanzi.”But the one who hears My words and does not act on them is like a man who built his house on ground without a foundation. The torrent crashed against that house, and immediately it fell—and great was its destruction!”
