Luke 11 (HAV) · Opened

1Lusiku luguma, Yeesu aliiri hantu haguma ey'ali gusaliira. Abeere amala gusaliira, muguma omu bigirizwa baage amubwira ntya: «Nnaweerhu, orhuyigirize gusaliira nk'oku Yohaana ayigirizaga abigirizwa baage.»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.”

2Yeesu ababwira ntya: «Nka mwasaliira, mugende mwaderha ntya: ‹Daarha, eziino lyawe likuuzwe, obwime bwawe buyinje.So Jesus told them, “When you pray, say: ‘Father, hallowed be Your name. Your kingdom come.

3Orhuhe ebiryo byeerhu bya ngasi lusiku.Give us each day our daily bread.

4Orhubabalire ebyaaha byeerhu, bulaala neerhu rhubabalira abarhujirira amabi. Orhanagenda warhuleka rhwarhogera omu chigeregezo.›»And forgive us our sins, for we also forgive everyone who sins against us. And lead us not into temptation.’”

5Yeesu ashuba kubwira abigirizwa baage ntya: «Nde omu mwabo wakagwarha mwira waage, akaja emwage ahagarhi k'obudufu kumubwira ntya: ‹Mwira waani, ompoze migati esharhu,Then Jesus said to them, “Suppose one of you goes to his friend at midnight and says, ‘Friend, lend me three loaves of bread,

6bulaala muguma omu beera baani ahikire ahamwani gurhengera omu lugenzi na ntaacho ngwerhe namusheegera.›because a friend of mine has come to me on a journey, and I have nothing to set before him.’

7Akaba owabo omushubiize ntya ey'anali omu mwage: ‹Leka okumbera erhwe; olunvi lwachingirwe miira, nyoono n'abaana baani, rhwalyaamire. Ntakagala kuzuuka mpu nguhe emigati.›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.’

8Okuli mbabwirire, chiro akaba arhazuukire kumuha emigati bulaala ali mwira waage, azuuka bulaala mwira waage arhaluhire kumuyinginga, anamuha byooshi alagiriire.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«Bobunoola nyoono mbabwirire ntya: Muheme, mwanahaabwa; mushonde, mwanabona; mukongoorhe oku lunvi, mwanachinguulirwa.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.

10Bulaala ohema ahaabwa, oshonda abona n'okongoorha oku lunvi achinguulirwa.For everyone who asks receives; he who seeks finds; and to him who knocks, the door will be opened.

11Nde y'eshe w'omwana omu mwabo nk'omugala amuhemere efi, akamuha enjoka ahaali h'efi?What father among you, if his son asks for a fish, will give him a snake instead?

12Changwa, nk'amuhemere egi, akamuha engobe?Or if he asks for an egg, will give him a scorpion?

13Akaba mwabo, mwe bantu babi, muyinji guha abaana benyu ebintu binja, gurhe Daarha w'empingu ojira olukogo lunene kulusha agafundwa guhaana Muuka-Mutagatiifu oku bamuhemere ye?»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!”

14Lusiku luguma, Yeesu aliiri gukuula omuzimu wajiraga omuntu muguma kuba nyamugama. Omuzimu abeere ahuluka, nyamugama arhondera kuderha. Abantu banene baliiri ahoola basoomerwa bweneene.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,

15Aliko bantu baguma baderha ntya: «Yeesu ali akoleesa Belizebuuli, mukulu w'abazimu, omu guhulusa abazimu.»but some of them said, “It is by Beelzebul, the prince of the demons, that He drives out demons.”

16Abandi bantu nabo baarhega Yeesu omu kumuhema echimenyeeso ch'ogurhengera empingu.And others tested Him by demanding a sign from heaven.

17Aliko, Yeesu alimenyere enkengeero zaabo, ababwira ntya: «Obwami buchishandeeze bonyine, bujiire ebw'olufu lwabo; enju zaabo zanahenera mo ziguma oku zindi.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.

18Akaba leero Shetaani ali achilwisa yenyine, gurhe obwami bwage bwakalama, kwenge muli mwaderha mpu nyoono ndi nakoleesa Belizebuuli omu guhulusa abazimu?If Satan is divided against himself, how can his kingdom stand? After all, you say that I drive out demons by Beelzebul.

19N'akaba ndi nahulusa abazimu kugerera Belizebuuli, abaana benyu babahulusa kugerera nde? Chi nji charhuma bonyine nji baaba bazuuzi benyu.And if I drive out demons by Beelzebul, by whom do your sons drive them out? So then, they will be your judges.

20Aliko, akaba ndi nahulusa abazimu kulengera obuhashe bwa Nnamahanga, k'okuderha k'obwime bwage bwabahikiire.But if I drive out demons by the finger of God, then the kingdom of God has come upon you.

21Omuntu w'emisi ohagarhiire emitwaro yaage, amango ali alanga enju yaage, ebikulo byaage eyi bilangirwe bwinja.When a strong man, fully armed, guards his house, his possessions are secure.

22Aliko, akaba omulushire emisi agahulukira n'okumuhima, akamunyega emitwaro yaage yooshi alilangaliire; na ntyo anagabira abandi bantu ebintu amunyegaga.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.

23Omuntu orhali haguma naani eyi ali andwisa; n'omuntu orhangwasa kugusha eyi ali ashandaaza.»He who is not with Me is against Me, and he who does not gather with Me scatters.

24«Amango omuzimu arhengere omu muntu, anaja omu mpinga gushonda amahumuukiro. Na nk'amabulire, anaderha ntya: ‹Nkola kugaluka omu nju yaani, mula narhengeraga.›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.’

25Ey'ayigera mo, anayibugaana ehyagiirwe enarheganyizwe bwinja.On its return, it finds the house swept clean and put in order.

26Leero, anaja agenda gushonda bandi bazimu mushanvu babi kumulusha. Baanaja mo n'okubeera mo. Oboorhere b'oyo muntu bwanaba bubi kulusha obwambere.»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.”

27Yeesu abeere ali aderha ntyo, omukazi muguma mw'abo bantu banene aderha n'omulenge munene n'okumubwira ntya: «Enda yaguheekaga egishwe n'amabeere makuyonsaga!»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!”

28Aliko Yeesu ashubiza ntya: «Ahuubwe, bagishirwe abali bayunva eChinwa cha Nnamahanga n'ogukulikira cho.»But He replied, “Blessed rather are those who hear the word of God and obey it.”

29Abantu banene babeere bali bachiigusha, Yeesu arhondera kuderha ntya: «Echi gisisi chiri gisisi chibi: chiri chashonda echimenyeeso. Girhagahaabwa echindi chimenyeeso kuleka echa Yoona.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.

30Kwenge nka kulaala Yoona abaaga chimenyeeso oku bantu b'eNinaawi, ko n'oko Mwene oMuntu aba chimenyeeso kw'echiila gisisi.For as Jonah was a sign to the Ninevites, so the Son of Man will be a sign to this generation.

31Olusiku l'ogucha olushinja, omugoli w'egarhongo nj'ahulukira haguma n'abantu b'echi gisisi. Nj'abahaniisa, bulaala alirhengere omu mahanga ma hale kuja kuyunva ebinwa by'obwenge bunene bwa Solomoono. N'obo hanoola hali olushire Solomoono!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.

32Amango m'ogucha olushinja, abantu b'eNinaawi nabo nji bayimanga haguma n'abantu b'echi gisisi, n'okugihaniisa. Kwenge balekere ebyaaha byaabo amango Yoona ayamagazaga omwazi. Leero hanoola hali olushire Yoona.»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«Ntaaye ochaana etara mpu alihire ahabishirwe changwa omu garhanda; ahuubwe analihanika oku gikondo, y'abaaja omu nju baabona obumoleke.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.

34Eliisho lyawe ly'etara ly'omubiri gwawe. Nk'eliisho lyawe likwiriire, omubiri gwawe gooshi nago gukolezeezwe. Aliko nk'alibiihire, omubiri gwawe nago eyi guli omu mwizimya.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.

35Ochilange obumoleke bukuli mo burhaba mwizimya.Be careful, then, that the light within you is not darkness.

36Akaba leero omubiri gwawe gooshi gukolezeezwe, buzira kugwarha olunda n'oluguma omu mwizimya, omubiri gwawe gooshi nji gwaba gukolezeezwe kuguma n'amango etara likukoleezeza n'obumoleke bwalyo.»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.”

37Oku Yeesu ali aderha, oMufarisaayo muguma amulaalika emwage mpu aje kulya. Yeesu aja omu nju, ayikala n'okulya.As Jesus was speaking, a Pharisee invited Him to dine with him; so He went in and reclined at the table.

38Oyo Mufarisaayo asoomerwa okubona Yeesu alya buzira gukalaba.But the Pharisee was surprised to see that Jesus did not first wash before the meal.

39Aliko Nnaweerhu amubwira ntya: «Mwabo mwe Bafarisaayo muzigaana gucheesa emugongo w'engumbu n'embale, n'obo omu mirhima yenyu muyunjwire obushumuusi n'obubi.Then the Lord said, “Now you Pharisees clean the outside of the cup and dish, but inside you are full of greed and wickedness.

40Mwe binganyi! Owalemaga omubiri g'omuntu k'arhanali ye walemaga omurhima?You fools! Did not the One who made the outside make the inside as well?

41Aliko mwabo, muhaane n'omurhima g'obonjo ebiri omu mirhima yenyu, n'ebindi byooshi byacheeswa emwenyu.But give as alms the things that are within you, and behold, everything will be clean for you.

42«Aliko buhanya buchi emwenyu, mwe Bafarisaayo! Munahaana entuulo y'echigabi chiguma ch'ekumi ch'ebirhi by'obulunge n'echa ngasi buuko bw'eshogo, aliko mwanagenda mwakeneereza kujira ebijiro bikwaneene n'obuzigire bwa Nnamahanga! Ebyoola bimwali mukwaneene kujira, buzira kuleka ebindi.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«Buhanya buchi emwenyu, mwe Bafarisaayo! Musiima kuyikala oku bichumbi by'embere omu masinagoogi, munasiima abantu babalamuse n'obukenge omu soko!Woe to you Pharisees! For you love the chief seats in the synagogues and the greetings in the marketplaces.

44«Buhanya buchi oku mwabo! Muli nka shinda zirhagwerhe chimenyeeso, abantu banazilambagira ko buzira kumenya!»Woe to you! For you are like unmarked graves, which men walk over without even noticing.”

45Muguma omu bayigiriza amarhegeko ava aderha ntya: «Mwigiriza, omu kuderha ntyo, orhudukangire neerhu!»One of the experts in the law told Him, “Teacher, when You say these things, You insult us as well.”

46Yeesu amushubiza ntya: «Buhanya buchi oku mwabo nenyu bigiriza b'amarhegeko! Muheesa abantu emizigo ekomeere guheeka, nenyu mwenyine murhakanayihuma ko n'omudoke!“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.

47«Buhanya buchi oku mwabo! Muyumbaka bwinja eshinda z'abaleebi n'obo bashookuluza benyu bababayirhaga!Woe to you! For you build tombs for the prophets, but it was your fathers who killed them.

48Omu kujira ntyo, muyerekeene oku muyemereere ebijiro bya bashookuluza benyu, bulaala boowe bo bayirhaga abaleebi, nenyu yi mwayumbaka eshinda zaabo!So you are witnesses consenting to the deeds of your fathers: They killed the prophets, and you build their tombs.

49Cho girhumire Nnamahanga omu bwenge bwage bunene aderhere ntya: ‹Nabarhumira abaleebi n'entumwa. Bayirha baguma n'okulibuza abandi.›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.’

50Cho girhumire echi gisisi nji chaabazwa eshagama yasheeshwaga y'abaleebi booshi gurhengera okulemwa kw'egulu,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,

51gurhengera oku shagama ya Abeeli kugera oku shagama ya Zakariya, wayirhwaga ahagarhi k'entuuliro n'ahantu hatagatiifu. Neechi, mbabwirire byo, echi gisisi nji chabazibwa byooshi.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«Buhanya buchi oku mwabo bigiriza b'amarhegeko! Mwakuulire olufunguulo loguchingula omulyango g'okuja omu nju y'okuyigira m'okumenya Nnamahanga. Nenyu mwenyine murhajaaga mo, n'abashondaga kuja mo, mwababuza.»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.”

53Yeesu ayuusize gurhenga ahoola, abigiriza b'amarhegeko n'aBafarisaayo barhondera kumulunza bweneene n'okumubaza oku biyerekeere bintu binene,As Jesus went on from there, the scribes and Pharisees began to oppose Him bitterly and to ply Him with questions about many things,

54bashonda kumurhega, yi baabona echinwa chagarhuma bamusidaaka.waiting to catch Him in something He might say.
