Luke 11 (ISN) · Opened

1Ukatala Matungo Uyesu nakolompa, ung'wi wa amanyisigwa wakwe akamuila, mukulu, kumanyise nusesie kulumpa, anga uyohana nau amisilye iamanyisingwa akwe kulompa.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.”

2Uyesu akaila nimukulompa, lungi, Tata, lina lako likuligwe, utemi wako uze.So Jesus told them, “When you pray, say: ‘Father, hallowed be Your name. Your kingdom come.

3Ukupe indya yitu nia mahiku ihi.Give us each day our daily bread.

4Ukulekele imalandu itu aka use nikia lakala nakugaziiye, uleke kuitwala muimageng'wa.And forgive us our sins, for we also forgive everyone who sins against us. And lead us not into temptation.’”

5Uyesu akaila, nyenyu kitalanyu nukite umuhumba muya nukumuhanga uutiku, nukumuila, muhumba miane mpe imikate itatu.Then Jesus said to them, “Suppose one of you goes to his friend at midnight and says, ‘Friend, lend me three loaves of bread,

6Kunsoko muhumba shuya wane wampikiila inoino kupuma muhinzo, nu ne nimugila indya nikumupa.because a friend of mine has come to me on a journey, and I have nothing to set before him.’

7Nuyo nukale mrupumba akamuila, leka kunaja, umulango walugailwa palung'wi niana ane, nune nalala singa kuhuma kuuka nukuupa uewe indya.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.’

8Nunuie, kina atizeshukuuka indya umuhumba muya akwe, kunsoko akazulongolekile kumupitya tile niminyala, ukuuka akupe indya yidu kutula nuhilwa wako.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.

9Nu ne kumuila, lompi, nunye mukupewa, penzi nunye mukulija, pinduli nunye mukuluguilwa.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.

10kunsoko nuilompa wisingiilya, nuyu nuiduma wipata, pinduli nunye mukuluguilwa.For everyone who asks receives; he who seeks finds; and to him who knocks, the door will be opened.

11Tata kii kung'wanyu, ung'waakwe agalompe insamaki ukumupa nzoka?What father among you, if his son asks for a fish, will give him a snake instead?

12Ang'wi agalompe ije ukumpa nkumi?Or if he asks for an egg, will give him a scorpion?

13Klulo ang'wi unyenye nimiabi mumanyile kuapa iana nyu imasongeelyo nimaza, Ai g'wautata nyu nua nuakigulu ukuapa ung'waungwelu ao nimulo mpa?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!”

14Sunga Uyesu akatula mupatya umintunga, Uyu naukete umintunga ai kimume umintunga akahega kumuntu nuanso, umuntu nuanso akahuma kuligitya umitunda ukakuilwa nanguli.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,

15Niang'wi ikalunga, uyu ukuheja imintunga kua Beelzabul mukulu wa amintunga.but some of them said, “It is by Beelzebul, the prince of the demons, that He drives out demons.”

16Niang'we akamgema ikalowa alagiile ikilingasilyo nikakupuma kilunde.And others tested Him by demanding a sign from heaven.

17Ingi uyesu akalinga imasigo akaaila, utemi wili nukutemanuka utula nuukia, ninyumba nikutemanuka ikugwa.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.

18Ang'wi umubi ukutula utemanukile, utemi wakwe ukimaka ule? Kunsoko uenda lunga neenda heja imintunga kua Belzebuli.If Satan is divided against himself, how can his kingdom stand? After all, you say that I drive out demons by Beelzebul.

19Ang'wi unene neenda heja iamintunga kua Belzebuli, ai iane menda heja imitunga kukiila ntuni? Kunsoko iyi, nianso azizamtwala mulamulwa.And if I drive out demons by Beelzebul, by whom do your sons drive them out? So then, they will be your judges.

20Kululo, angwi kuheja amintunga kukiila shala kang'wi Tunda, ingi gwa utemi ukumuhanga.But if I drive out demons by the finger of God, then the kingdom of God has come upon you.

21Umunyangulu nukite ishigi angaamilile inyumba kwe, imaintu akwe akikie uza.When a strong man, fully armed, guards his house, his possessions are secure.

22Kululo angingiilwe nu muntu numukiiye ingulu umunyangulu nuanso ukumuhegelya ishige yake, nukuhola insao yakwe yihi.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.

23Uyu nisha kipalung'wi nu nene, shamiane, nuyu nishawilingiila palung'wi nunene wisambailya.He who is not with Me is against Me, and he who does not gather with Me scatters.

24Umintunga numubi nukuhega kumuntu, wenda nikutili imaze kunsoko asupye. Agatule walimila, ukulunga, kusuka nazampumie.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.’

25Anga asuke ahange inyumba apyagulwa hangi ikie iza.On its return, it finds the house swept clean and put in order.

26Kululo wilongola kuaduma amintunga mupungati ao bi kukila nuanso, nukualeta ikie pang'wanso, u muntu nuanso witula mubi kukila nazawili ung'wandyo.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.”

27Naukuligitya inkani izi, musungu ung'wi akahumbula ululi kukila ihi naiakoli pang'wanso akalunga, “Akembetwa inda naikutugile nimaele naumonkile.”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!”

28Sunga akalunga, akembetwa ao neija ulukani lang'wi Tunda nukuluamba.But He replied, “Blessed rather are those who hear the word of God and obey it.”

29Umilundo wa antu ukatula kongeeleka, u Yesu akandya kulunga, “Uwileli uwu ingi wileli wa ubi, ukuduma kilinga siilyo, kutile ikilingasiilyo nikikupegwa kukila ikiilingasiilyo ni kang'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.

30Anga u Yona naikilingasiilyo kuantu a Ninawi. Uu nungwana wang'wa Adamu ukutula kilingasiilyo kuwileli uwu.For as Jonah was a sign to the Ninevites, so the Son of Man will be a sign to this generation.

31Umusungu wa Mutemi nuakutakama ukimika uluhiku nula ulamulwa niantu awileli uwu azizapegwa ulamulwa wao, ingi nuanso aupumie kumpelu nihi aze ategeelye uhugu wang'wa Solomoni, na paite ukoli numukulu kukila u Solomoni.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.

32Iantu a Ninawi akimika mulamulwa palung'wi niantu niawileli uwu uluhiku la ulamulwa azizaapa uulamulwa, kunsoko nianso aialekile imilandu nu Yona naukutanantya ulukani lang'wi Yunda, hangi goza pang'wanso ukoli numukulu kukila 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.

33Kutile umuntu wihi, nuakilya ulumuli aluike mulungu ang'wi pihi akikapu, ingi wakilya nukuika migulya kunsoko akelyo, angawingila muntu wihi ahume kuona uwelu.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.

34Iliho lako lumuli la muili iliho lako angalilule iza umuili wako wihi ukutula nuwelu, iliho lako angalihule ibi umuili wako wihi ukutula kiti.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.

35Kululo mihambe uwelu nuukole mitalanyu uleke kukilwa ikiti.Be careful, then, that the light within you is not darkness.

36Kululo ang'wi umuili wako ukoli muwelu, hangi kutile ata nuunino nuukoli mukiti. Ingi gwa umuili wako ukutula anga ulumuli nulukupumya uwelu kitalanyu.”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.”

37Naiwamala kuligitya, Farisayo akamana enda alye ndya kitalakwe, u Yesu akingila munyumba akatula palung'wi nienso.As Jesus was speaking, a Pharisee invited Him to dine with him; so He went in and reclined at the table.

38Imafarisayo ikakuilwa kunsoko shaukalae indya naikili kuletwa.But the Pharisee was surprised to see that Jesus did not first wash before the meal.

39U Yesu akaila, “Unye Mafarisayo mendoja iseme kunzi, mukati anyu mizue insuula nimbi nuubi.Then the Lord said, “Now you Pharisees clean the outside of the cup and dish, but inside you are full of greed and wickedness.

40Unye antu nimiagila uhugu uyu naumbile kunzi shanga au umbile ne numukati?”You fools! Did not the One who made the outside make the inside as well?

41Ape iahimbe aya namkati, ni nkani yihi ikutula nza kitalanyu.But give as alms the things that are within you, and behold, everything will be clean for you.

42Kululo isatiko lanyu Mafarisayo, nsoko mipumya imasongeelyo aminanaa numuchicha ni nyenyi yihi niamugunda, kunu mulekile inkani ya tai nukumulowa Itunda, kuna shango mukuleka nimangiza.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.

43Isatiko lanyu Mafarisayo kunsoko milowa kikiie kumatuntu akuntongeela amatekeelo nukulamukigwa kua milamu iyi nikilya.Woe to you Pharisees! For you love the chief seats in the synagogues and the greetings in the marketplaces.

44Isatiko lanyu kunsoko mimpyani niibula ningila ilingasiilyo iantu niza azegenda migulya aibiila nianso singaazeaine.”Woe to you! For you are like unmarked graves, which men walk over without even noticing.”

45Mumanyisi ung'wi wa unonelya wa Kiyahudi akasusha akamuila, mumanyisi iki nukukiligitya kakutasha use.One of the experts in the law told Him, “Teacher, when You say these things, You insult us as well.”

46Yesu akaila isatiko lanyu, unye aminyisi ankani, ingi mendaapa iantu imiligo nisinga ahumile kuminkenka, kunu unye shamaenda miamba ata nayala yanyu.“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.

47Isatiko lanyu kunsoko mendazenga nukuika ilingasiilyo muibiila ya anyakidagu ao naiabulagilwe niesekulu anyu.Woe to you! For you build tombs for the prophets, but it was your fathers who killed them.

48Kululo gwa unyenye mihangile nukigombya imilimo naiitumile isekulu anyu, kunsoko ikulukulu aiabulagile ianyakidagu, imo nimezenga ilingasiilyo muibiila yao.So you are witnesses consenting to the deeds of your fathers: They killed the prophets, and you build their tombs.

49Kunsoko iyo uhugu wang'wi Tunda uuliye, kuatuma ianyakidagu neituma milimo ane neenso muakaja nukuabulaga niang'wi.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.’

50Uwileli uwu uziza liilwa ni sakami anyakidagu naiabulagile kupuma ung'wandyo nua unkumbigulu.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,

51Kupuma usakami wang'wa Abeli nu Zakaria, naubulagilwe pakati wikumbikilo la ng'waung'welu. Uu, numuie uwileli uwu uzizaliilwa.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.

52Isatiko lanyu amanyisi ankani nia Kiyahudi kunsoko mahola ifungulo nia uhugu; unyenye shamendingila, kunu mukuagilya kingila ao niatakile kingila.”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.”

53U Yesu naiwahega pang'wanso, akilisa nkani ni Mafarisayo ikatula kumugilya nukikunguma nung'wenso kua nkani idu.As Jesus went on from there, the scribes and Pharisees began to oppose Him bitterly and to ply Him with questions about many things,

54Akaze mugema kumutungila ahume kupantika lukani kitalakwe.waiting to catch Him in something He might say.
