Luke 6 (IKZ) · Opened

1Rusikʉ rʉmwɨ rwʉ ʉbhʉtʉʉrʉ, Yɨɨsu na abhɨɨga bhaazɨ, bhaarɨ bharahɨta mʉmɨgʉndʉ jɨ ɨnganʉ. Abhɨɨga bhaazɨ, bhakabha bharatɨna ɨbhɨgara bhyɨ ɨnganʉ, bhakaruushaku zeeheke, bhakarya.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.

2Neho Abhafarisaayo abhandɨ bhakabhabhuurya, “Ndora mʉrakora emeremo gɨnʉ gɨtakwenderwa kokorwa urusikʉ rwʉ ʉbhʉtʉʉrʉ?”But some of the Pharisees asked, “Why are you doing what is unlawful on the Sabbath?”

3Yɨɨsu akabhagarukirya, “Mʉtasʉmirɨ mʉMaandɨkʉ Amarɨndu chɨmbu Daudi na abhakɨndichazɨ bhaakʉrirɨ, hanʉ bhaarɨ nɨ ɨnzara?Jesus replied, “Have you not read what David did when he and his companions were hungry?

4Akasikɨra mwibhuru rirɨndu rya Mungu, akagega ɨmɨkaatɨ gɨnʉ jatɨɨrwɨ mʉbhʉtangɨ bhwa Mungu akarya akabhaha na abhakɨndichazɨ bhʉʉsi bhakarya. Nawe ɨmɨkaatɨ gɨnʉ kumigirʉ ja Musa gɨtakwenderwa kuriibhwa na abhaatʉ, kuruushaku bhakuhaani abheene.”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.”

5Akoongera kubhuga, “Umwana wʉ Ʉmʉʉtʉ, newe Ʉmʉkʉrʉ wu urusikʉ rwʉ ʉbhʉtʉʉrʉ.”Then Jesus declared, “The Son of Man is Lord of the Sabbath.”

6Urusikʉ ʉrʉndɨ rwʉ ʉbhʉtʉʉrʉ, Yɨɨsu akasikɨra mwirwazɨrʉ, akiija abhaatʉ. Muyo, aarɨmu ʉmʉʉtʉ wʉmwɨ, wʉnʉ aarɨ akuurɨ okobhoko ku ubhuryʉ.On another Sabbath Jesus entered the synagogue and was teaching, and a man was there whose right hand was withered.

7Abhiija bhi imigirʉ na Abhafarisaayo, bhakabha bhararɨnda bharore arɨɨbhɨ arahorya ʉmʉʉtʉ wuyo, urusikʉ rwʉ ʉbhʉtʉʉrʉ, kʉ kʉbha bhaarɨ bharamohya ɨnzɨra yu ukumwinatiriryaku.Looking for a reason to accuse Jesus, the scribes and Pharisees were watching Him closely to see if He would heal on the Sabbath.

8Nawe, Yɨɨsu akamenya eseemyo yaabhʉ, akabhʉʉrɨra omorema wo okobhoko, “Nauzɨ, wiimɨɨrɨrɨ gatɨgatɨ.” Ʉmʉʉtʉ wuyo akaaza, akiimɨɨrɨra.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.

9Akʉmara Yɨɨsu akabhʉʉrɨra Abhafarisaayo na abhiija bhi imigirʉ bhayo, “Mmbe, nɨbhabhuuryɨ! Urusikʉ rwʉ ʉbhʉtʉʉrʉ, nɨ‑bhwaheene kokora Amazʉmu, kisha amabhɨ? Urusikʉ ruyo tohorye, kisha twitɨ?”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?”

10Yɨɨsu akarora abhaatʉ bhayo bhʉʉsi, akʉmara akabhʉʉrɨra ʉmʉʉtʉ wuyo, “Gorora okobhoko kwazʉ.” Akakogorora, rogendo rʉmwɨ kʉkahora!And after looking around at all of them, He said to the man, “Stretch out your hand.” He did so, and it was restored.

11Abhaatʉ bhayo, bhakiigatana bhʉkʉngʼu, bhakatanga kwibhisirya chɨmbu bharaakorere Yɨɨsu amabhɨ.But the scribes and Pharisees were filled with rage and began to discuss with one another what they might do to Jesus.

12Rusikʉ rʉmwɨ, Yɨɨsu akaja kʉkɨgʉrʉ kʉsabha, akatengeeza arasabha Mungu.In those days Jesus went out to the mountain to pray, and He spent the night in prayer to God.

13Tabhʉʉri waho, akabhabhɨrɨkɨra abhɨɨga bhaazɨ, gatɨ waabhʉ akarobhora ikumi na bhabhɨrɨ, akabhaha iriina rya abhatumwa. Na abhatumwa bhayo, nebho bhanʉ:When daylight came, He called His disciples to Him and chose twelve of them, whom He also designated as apostles:

14Simʉʉni, wʉnʉ Yɨɨsu aahɨɨrɨ iriina rya Peetero, Andureya umwabhʉ Simʉʉni, Yaakobho, Yoohana, Firipʉ, Bhatoromayo,Simon, whom He named Peter, and his brother Andrew; James and John; Philip and Bartholomew;

15Mataayo, Tomaaso, Yaakobho umwana wa Arifaayʉ, Simʉʉni wʉnʉ akubhirikirwa Ʉmʉzɨrʉʉti,Matthew and Thomas; James son of Alphaeus and Simon called the Zealot;

16Yuuda umwana wa Yaakobho, na Yuuda Isikariyʉʉti, wʉnʉ iichurirɨ Yɨɨsu.Judas son of James, and Judas Iscariot, who became a traitor.

17Yɨɨsu akiika kʉkɨgʉrʉ, hamwɨmwɨ nabhʉ, akiimɨɨrɨra mʉtandaari. Hayo, bhakiibhiringa abhɨɨga bhaazɨ na riribhita rya abhaatʉ abhandɨ bhanʉ bharuurɨ mucharʉ chʉsi cha Yudeya, mʉrʉbhɨri rwa Yɨrusarɨɨmu, na kukihuukʉ cha Tiiro na Sidʉʉni. Abhaatʉ bhayo, bhakaaza kwitegeerera Yɨɨsu na kʉhʉribhwa amarwɨrɨ gaabhʉ.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.

18Na bhanʉ bhaarɨ bhakʉnyaakibhwa na amasambwa, bhakahʉribhwa.They had come to hear Him and to be healed of their diseases, and those troubled by unclean spirits were healed.

19Abhaatʉ bhʉʉsi, Bhakeenda kukunʼyaku Yɨɨsu, kʉ kʉbha zinguru zaarɨ zɨramʉhʉrʉka na zɨrabhahorya bhʉʉsi.The entire crowd was trying to touch Him, because power was coming from Him and healing them all.

20Yɨɨsu akabharora abhɨɨga bhaazɨ, akabhabhʉʉrɨra, “Hakɨrɨku imwɨ abhahabhɨ, kʉ kʉbha ʉbhʉtɨmi bhwa Mungu ubhwanyu.Looking up at His disciples, Jesus said: “Blessed are you who are poor, for yours is the kingdom of God.

21Hakɨrɨku bhanʉ mukwigwa ɨnzara nangwɨnʉ, kʉ kʉbha mʉraaza kwigutibhwa. Hakɨrɨku bhanʉ mʉkʉrɨra nangwɨnʉ, kʉ kʉbha mʉraaza koseka.Blessed are you who hunger now, for you will be filled. Blessed are you who weep now, for you will laugh.

22Hakɨrɨku imwɨ hanʉ abhaatʉ bhakʉbhabhiihirirwa, bhakʉbhaahʉra, bhakʉbhatʉka na kʉbhagambɨra imwɨ amabhɨ igʉrʉ wu Umwana wʉ Ʉmʉʉtʉ.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.

23“Gayo garaabhabhone, mozomerwe na kubhina bhʉkʉngʼu, kʉ kʉbha ʉmʉbhanʉ gwanyu nɨ‑mʉkʉrʉ mwisaarʉ. Nɨmbu bhawɨsɨɨkʉrʉ, bhaarɨ bhakʉnyaacha abharʉʉtɨrɨri.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.

24Nawe horeera imwɨ abhaniibhi, kʉ kʉbha obhozomerwa bhwanyu, mʉmarirɨ kobhobhona.But woe to you who are rich, for you have already received your comfort.

25Horeera imwɨ bhanʉ mukwigʉta nangwɨnʉ, kʉ kʉbha mʉraaza kwigwa ɨnzara. Horeera imwɨ bhanʉ mokoseka kwa bhozomerwa nangwɨnʉ, kʉ kʉbha mʉrarɨra na kwarama bhʉkʉngʼu.Woe to you who are well fed now, for you will hunger. Woe to you who laugh now, for you will mourn and weep.

26Horeera imwɨ, hanʉ abhaatʉ bhʉʉsi bhakʉbhakumya, kʉ kʉbha, bhawɨsɨɨkʉrʉ nɨmbu bhaarɨ bhakʉbhakorera abharʉʉtɨrɨri bhʉ ʉrʉrɨmɨ.Woe to you when all men speak well of you, for their fathers treated the false prophets in the same way.

27“Nawe nɨrabhabhʉʉrɨra imwɨ bhanʉ mukunyiitegeerera, mʉbhasɨɨgɨ abhabhisa bhaanyu, na bhanʉ bhakʉbhabhiihirirwa, mʉbhakorere amazʉmu.But to those of you who will listen, I say: Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you,

28Mʉbhahɨ ʉrʉbhangʉ, bhanʉ bhakubhiihiima, na kʉbhasabhɨra amazʉmu kwa Mungu bhanʉ bhakʉbhakorera amabhɨ.bless those who curse you, pray for those who mistreat you.

29“Ʉmʉʉtʉ araakʉbhaatʉrɨ ʉrʉsa rwu ubhuryʉ, muchʉrɨrɨ nʉ ʉrʉndɨ. Na wʉnʉ araakuruushɨ ɨkabhuuti yaazʉ, umutigɨrɨ nɨ ɨshadi.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.

30Wʉwʉʉsi wʉnʉ araakʉsabhɨ ekegero, mohe, nʉ ʉmʉʉtʉ araakogegere bhegero bhyazʉ, ʉtamʉsabha akʉgarukiryɨ.Give to everyone who asks you, and if anyone takes what is yours, do not demand it back.

31Mokorere abhandɨ ganʉ mukwenda mokorerwe.Do to others as you would have them do to you.

32“Nangʉ, mʉraabhasɨɨgɨ bhanʉ bhabhasɨɨgirɨ abheene, mʉrabhona bhwerakɨ? Naabha bhʉ ʉbhʉbhɨ, bhabhasɨɨgirɨ abhaatʉ bhanʉ bhabhasɨɨgirɨ!If you love those who love you, what credit is that to you? Even sinners love those who love them.

33Naatu, mʉraasakiryɨ bhanʉ bhakʉbhasakirya abheene, mʉrabhona bhwerakɨ? Naabha bhʉ ʉbhʉbhɨ bhahaakora ɨbhuɨbhu!If you do good to those who do good to you, what credit is that to you? Even sinners do the same.

34Na mʉraabhakopeshe bhanʉ mukwisega kʉbha bharabhagarukirya, mʉrabhona bhwerakɨ? Naabha bhʉ ʉbhʉbhɨ, bhahaabhakopesha abhakɨndichabhʉ, korereke bhaazɨ bhabhagarukiryɨ bhyʉsi!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.

35“Nawe imwɨ, mʉbhasɨɨgɨ abhabhisa bhaanyu, mʉbhakorere amazʉmu. Mʉbhakopeshe ɨtabha kwa kwisega bharabhagarukirya, neho mʉraabhone ʉmʉbhanʉ ʉmʉkʉrʉ. Hayo neho mʉraabhɨ abhaana bha Mungu wi Igʉrʉ wa Bhyʉsi, kʉ kʉbha, ewe ahaabhasakirya bhanʉ bhatakubhuga, ‘Ʉzʉmiryɨ,’ na abhakʉri bha amabhɨ.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.

36Mʉbhɨ bhɨ ɨbhɨgʉngi kʉbhaatʉ, chɨmbu Wuusʉ akʉbharorera rigʉngi.Be merciful, just as your Father is merciful.

37“Mʉtatɨnɨra abhandɨ, na niimwɨ mʉtaaza kutinirwa na Mungu. Mʉtatema amasoro, na niimwɨ mʉtakotemwa amasoro. Mʉbhabheerere bhanʉ bhakʉbhasariirya, na niimwɨ mʉrabheererwa.Do not judge, and you will not be judged. Do not condemn, and you will not be condemned. Forgive, and you will be forgiven.

38Mʉbhahɨ abhaatʉ ebhegero na niimwɨ mʉrahaabhwa na Mungu. Mʉrahaabhwa ekerengo kɨnʉ chizwirɨ zabhi, kichimirwɨ na kusingiswa kiriitɨkɨra. Ekerengo kɨnʉ mokorengera abhandɨ necho na niimwɨ mʉraarengerwe na Mungu.”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.”

39Akabhabhʉʉrɨra kobherenjo, “Heene, ʉmʉhʉku aratʉra kʉkangata ʉmʉhʉku ʉmʉkɨndichazɨ? Bhʉʉsi bhabhɨrɨ bharagwa mwirʉʉma!Jesus also told them a parable: “Can a blind man lead a blind man? Will they not both fall into a pit?

40Umwɨga atakʉkɨra umwija waazɨ. Nawe, araamarɨ kʉragirirwa na kwɨrɨkibhwa gʉʉsi, ahaabha nchu umwija waazɨ.A disciple is not above his teacher, but everyone who is fully trained will be like his teacher.

41“Ndora ʉrarora ekebhereera kɨnʉ kiri muriisʉ ryʉ ʉmʉkɨndichazʉ, nawe ʉtakorora ɨkɨtɨnɨka kɨnʉ kiri muriisʉ ryazʉ?Why do you look at the speck in your brother’s eye but fail to notice the beam in your own eye?

42Kisha ʉratʉrabhwɨ kʉbhʉʉrɨra ʉmʉkɨndichazʉ, ‘Tiga nikuruushɨ ekebhereera muriisʉ ryazʉ,’ nawe ʉtakorora ɨkɨtɨnɨka muriisʉ ryazʉ? Ʉmʉbhɨɨhi awɨ! Ruusha hinga ɨkɨtɨnɨka muriisʉ ryazʉ. Neho ʉkʉtʉra korora bhwaheene na kuruusha ekebhereera muriisʉ ryʉ ʉmʉkɨndichazʉ.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.

43“Gʉtareeho ʉmʉtɨ ʉmʉzʉmu gʉnʉ gwahiibhʉra imisumʉ ɨmɨbhɨ, nʉ ʉmʉtɨ ʉmʉbhɨ, gʉnʉ gukwibhʉra imisumʉ ɨmɨzʉmu.No good tree bears bad fruit, nor does a bad tree bear good fruit.

44Abhaatʉ bhatakutwa imisumʉ ju umutiini kʉmɨtɨ ja amahwa, na bhatakutwa imisumʉ jɨ ɨmɨzabhiibhu kʉmɨtɨ je emesonkoma. Nawe kʉmɨtɨ jʉsi, gɨramenyekana kumisumʉ jaku.For each tree is known by its own fruit. Indeed, figs are not gathered from thornbushes, nor grapes from brambles.

45Ɨbhuɨbhu ʉmʉʉtʉ ʉmʉzʉmu, ahaamenyekana kʉmangʼana amazʉmu, ganʉ gari mumwʉyʉ gwazɨ. Nawe ʉmʉʉtʉ ʉmʉbhɨ muyomuyo, ahaagamba amangʼana amabhɨ, ganʉ gari mumwʉyʉ gwazɨ. Amangʼana ganʉ ʉmʉʉtʉ akʉgamba, gararwa mʉganʉ gizwirɨ mumwʉyʉ gwazɨ.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“Kwakɨ mʉrambɨrɨkɨra, ‘Ʉmʉkʉrʉ, Ʉmʉkʉrʉ,’ nawe mʉtakokora amangʼana gaanɨ?Why do you call Me ‘Lord, Lord,’ but do not do what I say?

47Nɨrabhabhʉʉrɨra ekerenjo chʉ ʉmʉʉtʉ wʉnʉ akwigwa amangʼana gaanɨ na kʉgakora.I will show you what he is like who comes to Me and hears My words and acts on them:

48Wuyo, atuubhɨɨnɨ nu umwʉmbaki wi inyumba, wʉnʉ aatukirɨ rirʉʉma akahooza ritarɨ, akʉʉmbaka ʉbhʉrʉsa. Mumbura, ɨkɨtaarʉ kikiizʉra, amanzi gakatema inyumba yiyo, nawe gatayisingishiryɨ, kʉ kʉbha yaarɨ yʉmbakirwɨ bhwaheene.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.

49Nawe, wʉwʉʉsi wʉnʉ akwigwa amangʼana gaanɨ na atakʉgakora, wuyo, atuubhɨɨnɨ nʉ ʉmʉʉtʉ wʉnʉ ʉmbakirɨ inyumba yaazɨ komosekeenya, na atatɨɨrɨ amabhwɨ iyaasɨ hinga. Ribhaga ryi imbura amanzi gakahera, gakatema inyumba yiyo. Rogendo rʉmwɨ ɨkagwa haasɨ, ɨkarika yʉʉsi.”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!”
