Luke 11 (IYX) · Opened

1Iluumbu imosi, Yiisu akikuundu nha mbuu mosi. Bu nde amani ukuundu, mosi mu muyii a nde aleeli kwaa nde: «Pfumu! Wadiyiisi ukuundu mbii bu Yowani ayiisi miyii mia nde.»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.”

2Yiisu aleeli kwaa bo: «Bu dibaakuundu, dileele mbii bu: “Taayi, nyaala kuumbu a we yiba ya Ngira, nyaala Ipfumu kia we iyira,So Jesus told them, “When you pray, say: ‘Father, hallowed be Your name. Your kingdom come.

3wadiha bia udia bia bisi bia pasi iluumbu.Give us each day our daily bread.

4Sa masumu ma bisi kolokolo, ka bisi ka dibaasa kolokolo kwaa ba bu baasa bisi bubi, a nyaala bisi dibwa mu mapuusu pe.”»And forgive us our sins, for we also forgive everyone who sins against us. And lead us not into temptation.’”

5Nde abwileele kwaa bo: «beni boosi na uli na mbaayi: na uyene kwaa nde mu kati a kati a butsuu, na uleele kwaa nde: “Mbaayi, soomboso me mapa matata,Then Jesus said to them, “Suppose one of you goes to his friend at midnight and says, ‘Friend, lend me three loaves of bread,

6ka mosi mu banduu ba me mati ku midieenge bu ayiri kwaa me, me a ndi na iloo pe kia uha nde.”because a friend of mine has come to me on a journey, and I have nothing to set before him.’

7Ka uli mu nzo vutili, na leeli: “Nyaala me bunyanga! Munywa a nzo ba maakwadibuu mu tsiafi, baana na me makulu diamaala, a nituu utemene pe mu uha we mo.”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.’

8Me nadileeli, so nde atemini pe mu uha nde mo, mu ndaa bu ali mbaayi a nde, sa atemene mu uha bioosi bi mbaayi a nde ali na tsata, mu ndaa pungusu yi ali mu usa nde.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.

9Ka me nadileeli: diloombo, sa badiha; disaa, beni sa disololo; dikomboto sa badidibili,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.

10ka pasi wu uloombo, baheeri; wu usaa, solili; wu ukomboto, bamudibili.For everyone who asks receives; he who seeks finds; and to him who knocks, the door will be opened.

11Ki taayi mu beni, so mwaana a nde so loombi tswi, nde wamuheeri taari?What father among you, if his son asks for a fish, will give him a snake instead?

12Na so loombi bi, wamuhii ngeenge?Or if he asks for an egg, will give him a scorpion?

13Ka beni badili baata bababi, diayaaba uha baana ba beni biloo bibibwe, kaambisa Taayi wuli ku yula, sa akoono uha Muheebili wa Ngira kwaa babuloombo?»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!”

14Iluumbu imosi, Yiisu abingi muheebili wu mubi wa kitiisi muutu baba. Bu muheebili wu mubi apali, baba latsuyi; makoongi ma mali nhaa makimii.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,

15Ka ba bamosi mu bo baleeli: «Nde ubaabingi miheebili mimibi mu lituu la Belezebuli, uli mukuutu a miheebili mimibi!»but some of them said, “It is by Beelzebul, the prince of the demons, that He drives out demons.”

16Ba bakimi bamuketi, bamuloombi iliimbi ki imata ku yula.And others tested Him by demanding a sign from heaven.

17Bu Yiisu ayaabi matsimi ma bo, wabaleeli: «Pasi ipfumu ki ikoto mu kabini, sa itsaamuu, manzo ma bo sa mabwa mana nha yulu a mana.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.

18Beni dileeli ti, me nibaapalisa miheebili mimibi mu lituu la Belezebuli, pili mosi ti Saatina li mutaata a nde makulu. Ka buni ipfumu kia nde idiingi?If Satan is divided against himself, how can his kingdom stand? After all, you say that I drive out demons by Beelzebul.

19So nibaapalisa miheebili mimibi mu lituu la Belezebuli, ka baana ba beni mu ki lituu bali mu upalisa mio? Ni mu buu bo sa baba bafuundisi ba beni!And if I drive out demons by Beelzebul, by whom do your sons drive them out? So then, they will be your judges.

20Ngwanya mu lituu la Nziaambi me nibaapalisa miheebili mimibi. Bu li mu mweese ti Ipfumu ya Nziaambi kiamaato kwaa beni.»But if I drive out demons by the finger of God, then the kingdom of God has come upon you.

21«Muutu wa mifuri wuli na bidwaanini, bu ali mu ukebe nzo a nde, bia nde bioosi bili mu iholo.When a strong man, fully armed, guards his house, his possessions are secure.

22Ka wavulu nde mifuri ayiri, sa wamubwiisi, tumake sa wamupatila bidwaanini bia nde bioosi bi aba mu usa imiini, na ukaba bioosi bi wamuholi.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.

23Pasi wu uhele ba na me, abele me; wu uhele ukukuu na me, li mu utsara.»He who is not with Me is against Me, and he who does not gather with Me scatters.

24«Bu muheebili wumubi upala mu muutu, sa ayene mu mambuu ma tsata, mu uyoosaa mbuu ya puumini. Ka mbiiti nde a solili yo pe, nde sa aleele: “Me nivutuu ku nzo a me yinasiisi.”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.’

25Bu ayiri a vutuu, moni nzo bakoombolo na bayiluu bubwe.On its return, it finds the house swept clean and put in order.

26Tumi nde sa ayene mu usaa miheebili tsaamba mikimi miavulu nde mu buhaangi, mio sa mikoto na udiaalila mu nzo yii. Mapasi ma muutu wuu sa mavulu mifuri na ma tsiomi.»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.”

27Yiisu bu amani mandaa maa uleele, mukaasa mutso koongi yii anaangili ndaa, aleeli kwaa nde: «Kinyi yili na moonyi wakibiti we, na mabeene makinywiisi we!»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!”

28Ka Yiisu avutili aleeli: «Bu bwee beeri mu leele, kinyi yili na ba bubaayuu mandaa ma Nziaambi na usalila mo!»But He replied, “Blessed rather are those who hear the word of God and obey it.”

29Makoongi bu madiengilili Yiisu, nde aleele kwaa bo: «Kubu yiinayi ni kubu yimbi. Bo basaa imaanga, ka a bubaa iloo pe, so a ndila iliimbi kia yilimi mu 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.

30Mbii bwali Yoona iliimbi kwaa basi Ninive, ni buu bukaaba Mwaana a muutu kwaa kubu yi.For as Jonah was a sign to the Ninevites, so the Son of Man will be a sign to this generation.

31Mu taanga dia pfuundisi, mutini wa mukaasa wa ku baanda sa atemene nha kulu a baata ba kubu yi na nde sa abwiisi bo. Ka nde amati mwasieele matsi mu uyuu buyeri ba Salomo. Mono nha uli na wa vulu Salomo!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.

32Mu taanga dia pfuundisi, basi Ninive sa batemene nha kulu a kubu yiinayi na sa babwiisi bo mu ndaa ti basi Ninive bakiingili mayele ma bo bu bayuyi nziisili a Yoona. Ka uli nhaa na nhana wavulu 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«Muutu a utuu unamisa mwiindi na usuusu nde nha mbuu ya tsweeyi pe, so ku tsini a ipaayi pe. Ka bali mu usuusu mwiindi, nha yulu, paa ba bukoto mu nzo bamono liyalila.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.

34Mwiindi a nyutu ni lisi la we. So lisi la we lili polo, nyutu a we yoosi yili mutso liyalila. Ka bu lisi libeeli, nyutu a we yoosi yili pimisi ka.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.

35Ni mu buu kebe liyalila lili mu we, a liyakituu pimisi.Be careful, then, that the light within you is not darkness.

36So nyutu a we yoosi yili mu liyalila, na ibari so imosi a yili nha pimisi pe, yo yoosi sa iyaluu mbii bu mwiindi wu ubaayalisa we.»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.”

37Yiisu bu ali kini mu utsuu, mosi mu bafarisi wamukuungi mu uyadia na nde, Yiisu akoti na adiaali nha meese.As Jesus was speaking, a Pharisee invited Him to dine with him; so He went in and reclined at the table.

38Mufarisi akimii bu amoni Yiisu mu udia, kwahele ukwaswaa mioo.But the Pharisee was surprised to see that Jesus did not first wash before the meal.

39Ka Pfumu aleeli kwaa nde: «Beni bafarisi, dibaatsieemese mbasa na ikoombo ku mbari, ka ku kati beni dialuulu mu musoyi na mimibi.Then the Lord said, “Now you Pharisees clean the outside of the cup and dish, but inside you are full of greed and wickedness.

40Beni biwulu! Nziaambi wayiluu mbari a biloo, a ni nde pe ka wayiluu kati a bio?You fools! Did not the One who made the outside make the inside as well?

41Diha bioosi bi bili mu kati kwaa bawele weti bungori na bioosi sa bitsieeme mu beni.»But give as alms the things that are within you, and behold, everything will be clean for you.

42«Aa! Ngebe kwaa beni Bafarisi! Ka beni dibaaha ikuku kia kuumi-kuumi mu nduungu a mbala, na nduungu, na bitiiti bioosi bi dibaadia. Ka diameengele mbweeyili na litoono la Nziaambi, bunu bii ni biafwaana mu usa, kwahele a udiimbili bini.»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«Aa ngebe kwaa beni Bafarisi! Bu dibaatoono mambata ma matsiomi mu manzo ma makutunu, na diatoono uyaka mabwe ma likiinzi mu kulu a mbari.»Woe to you Pharisees! For you love the chief seats in the synagogues and the greetings in the marketplaces.

44«Aa ngebe kwaa beni, bu dili weti mangili ma mahele uyabana, baata bali mu udiaata nha yula a mo kwahele a uyaaba!»Woe to you! For you are like unmarked graves, which men walk over without even noticing.”

45Mosi mu bayiisi ba mikele aleeli kwaa nde: «Muyiisi, bu li mu uleele maa, uli mu umoonuu weti we li mu utuu bisi!»One of the experts in the law told Him, “Teacher, when You say these things, You insult us as well.”

46Ka Yiisu avutili aleeli: «Aa ngebe kwaa beni bayiisi ba mikele! Ka beni dili mu unaa mifuna mialeme mu ubiti nha yula baata, ka beni bameme a dibaabeembe mifunu mii muleembi a beni so mosi pe.“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.

47Aa ngebe kwaa beni, ba dibaatuungu mangili ma mibili bu diayaaba ti ba taayi ba beni badusi mio!Woe to you! For you build tombs for the prophets, but it was your fathers who killed them.

48Ka beni dili mu umweese ti diasiingi biyiluu bia bataayi ba beni mundaa ti bo badusi mibili na beni dili mu ubaatuungu mangili ma mibili mii.So you are witnesses consenting to the deeds of your fathers: They killed the prophets, and you build their tombs.

49Ni mu buu, Nziaambi mu buyeri ba nde aleeli: “Me sa na batsinduu mibili na batumu. Sa badusu ba bakimi mu bo na ukwaamisa ba bamosi.”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.’

50Ni mu buu, kubu yi, sa basieembe yo mu ndaa makila ma mibili mioosi mamatsiaamii umata mbaandila tsi,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,

51umata mu makila ma Aabeli natee makila ma Zakaria wu badusi nha kati a diki la nzosili na mbuu ya ngira. Ka me nadileeli: kubu yi sa basieembe yo mu ma mabi maa moosi.»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«Aa ngebe kwaa beni bayiisi ba mikele! Bu diaholii tsiafi a nziaabili na beni bame a diakoto pe, na dili mu ubaakiki ba batoono ukoto.»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.”

53Ka, Yiisu bu apali mu nzo, bayiisi ba mikele na bafarisi ba mukwaamisi mu iteesi kia mifuri, na ufuulu nde ma nduru ma mupili na mupili.As Jesus went on from there, the scribes and Pharisees began to oppose Him bitterly and to ply Him with questions about many things,

54Bamuketi paa babaa mu nde toono mu ma mupala mu munywa a nde!waiting to catch Him in something He might say.
