Luke 6 (LAG) · Opened

1Sikʉ ya Sabáato ɨmwɨ, Yéesu na vapooji vaachwe vajáa vakwaatɨra na mawundii ya ngáano. Mpɨɨndɨ ˆvalookáa, vapooji vaachwe vakava voohʉʉnga maangala ya ngáano, vakayafiisa de vandoorya.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.

2Vamwɨ va Mafarisáayo vakasea, “Eri, sa che moowuna Miiro sikʉ ya Sabáato?”But some of the Pharisees asked, “Why are you doing what is unlawful on the Sabbath?”

3Aho, maa Yéesu akavasea, “Sɨ mʉnasoma ˆcheene atʉmama mʉtemi Daúdi mpɨɨndɨ ˆajáa aávirwe nɨ njala na vaantʉ vaachwe tʉkʉ wʉʉ?Jesus replied, “Have you not read what David did when he and his companions were hungry?

4Daúdi ɨɨngɨra na nyuumbii ya Mʉlʉʉngʉ, akatoola ɨra mɨkáate ˆɨvɨ́ɨkwaa mbere ya Mʉlʉʉngʉ, akarya. Mɨkáate ɨyo, veeneɨsɨ va Ijʉva vii noo vajáa varekerwa vɨndoorya. Vaantʉ vɨɨngɨ Miiro ɨjáa yakaanʼya kurya. Ne akavaheera vaantʉ vaachwe, vakarya.”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.”

5Aho, Yéesu akavasea, “Mwaana wa Mʉʉntʉ nɨ Mweeneevyo wa Sabáato.”Then Jesus declared, “The Son of Man is Lord of the Sabbath.”

6Sikʉ ya Sabáato yɨɨngɨ, Yéesu ajáa ɨɨngɨra na sinagóogii, maa akaanda kiindya. Aho, kʉjáa kwatɨɨte mʉʉntʉ ˆajáa na mʉkono wa kʉlʉme ˆwaakwya iyandiyandi.On another Sabbath Jesus entered the synagogue and was teaching, and a man was there whose right hand was withered.

7Vakiindya va Miiro na Mafarisáayo vakava voomʉlaanga neeja sa voone koonɨ arɨ mʉhorya sikʉ ya Sabáato. Vabweeyyáa jeyyo sa vapate nkalo yo mʉtwaala na balásii.Looking for a reason to accuse Jesus, the scribes and Pharisees were watching Him closely to see if He would heal on the Sabbath.

8Maa kaa, Yéesu ajáa atáangire miiririkano yaavo, aho akamʉsea ʉra mʉʉntʉ ˆajáa na mʉkono ˆwaakwya iyandiyandi, “Seesa, ɨma aha mbere ya vaantʉ.” Ʉra mʉʉntʉ akiinʉka, maa akɨɨma mbere ya vaantʉ voosi.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.

9Aho, maa Yéesu akavasea, “Nɨ kuvuurya niise, nɨ rɨrɨkwɨ noo Miiro ˆyaruma kʉtʉmama sikʉ ya Sabáato? Kʉtʉmama kɨɨntʉ kiija bakʉ kɨvɨ? Kʉlamurirya nkaasʉ au kʉmala?”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?”

10Aho, akavalaanga vaantʉ voosi, maa akamʉsea ʉra mʉʉntʉ, “Wolola mʉkono waako!” Ʉra mʉʉntʉ akabweeyya jeyyo, hahara mʉkono waachwe ʉkava nkaasʉ kei!And after looking around at all of them, He said to the man, “Stretch out your hand.” He did so, and it was restored.

11Maa kaa, vara vakiindya va Miiro na Mafarisáayo vakakalala maatʉkʉ vii, vakaanda kiiheera mɨryʉʉngʉ voovo kwa voovo ˆcheene varɨ mʉbweeyya Yéesu.But the scribes and Pharisees were filled with rage and began to discuss with one another what they might do to Jesus.

12Sikʉ ɨmwɨ, Yéesu ajáa aambʉka na luulwii noo mʉloomba Mʉlʉʉngʉ. Ʉko akamʉloomba Mʉlʉʉngʉ chɨrɨrɨ.In those days Jesus went out to the mountain to pray, and He spent the night in prayer to God.

13ˆKʉkeere, maa akavaanɨrɨra vapooji vaachwe. Aho, akavasaawʉla ikimi na vavɨrɨ, avo akavakemera vatumwi.When daylight came, He called His disciples to Him and chose twelve of them, whom He also designated as apostles:

14Ava noo vatumwi ˆasaawʉla, Simóoni, yeeye amʉkemera Peéteri, na Anderéa mwaanaavo, Yaakúupu na Yooháani, Filíipi na Batolomáayo,Simon, whom He named Peter, and his brother Andrew; James and John; Philip and Bartholomew;

15Matáayo na Tomáasi, Yaakúupu sha Alʉfáayo na Simóoni ˆmweene aanɨrɨrwáa Selóote,Matthew and Thomas; James son of Alphaeus and Simon called the Zealot;

16Yʉ́ʉda sha Yaakúupu, na Yʉ́ʉda Isikarióoti ˆamʉvarindʉka Yéesu.Judas son of James, and Judas Iscariot, who became a traitor.

17Yéesu akakiima fuma luulwii hamwɨ na vatumwi vaachwe. Na ˆakafike haantʉ ˆharɨ na irɨrɨɨsɨ, akɨɨma. Aho, kʉjáa kwatɨɨte mpuka nkʉʉlʉ ya vapooji vaachwe na vaantʉ ˆvajáa vafúmire ɨsɨ yoosi ya Yudéea, múujii wa Yerusaléemu, na mbarɨmbarɨ ya mayɨya ya míiji ya Tíiro na Sidóoni. Ava, vajáa vuújire noo mʉteerera Yéesu na vahoriwe ndwáala jaavo.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 vara ˆvaturikiriwáa nɨ mirimʉ mɨvɨ, avahoryáa.They had come to hear Him and to be healed of their diseases, and those troubled by unclean spirits were healed.

19Vaantʉ voosi vasaakáa kʉmʉsaasya sa ngururu ˆjafumáa kwaachwe na avahoryáa vaantʉ voosi.The entire crowd was trying to touch Him, because power was coming from Him and healing them all.

20Yéesu akavalaanga vapooji vaachwe akasea, “Mwatalariwa nyuunyu ˆmʉrɨ vakɨva, sa Ʉtemi wa Mʉlʉʉngʉ nɨ waanyu.Looking up at His disciples, Jesus said: “Blessed are you who are poor, for yours is the kingdom of God.

21Mwatalariwa nyuunyu ˆmʉrɨ na njala haaha, sa kiikutiwa mʉrɨ. Mwatalariwa nyuunyu ˆmoorɨra haaha, sa seka mʉrɨ.Blessed are you who hunger now, for you will be filled. Blessed are you who weep now, for you will laugh.

22Mwatalariwa nyuunyu mpɨɨndɨ vaantʉ ˆvarɨ vasʉʉla, ˆvarɨ vakera lʉtaamɨ na kʉvatʉkɨra, na ˆvarɨ vasea mʉrɨ vavɨ, sa mwamuruma Mwaana wa Mʉʉntʉ.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.

23Sikʉ masáare aya ˆyarɨ fʉmɨra, eryi mɨtɨma na mʉndoofɨrɨra sa kʉnáálo yaanyu nɨ nkʉ́ʉ́lʉ kurumwii, sa baa vala baaba waavo vavabweeyyirirya viivyo valáali na mʉtwe va Ijʉva.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.

24Maa kaa, mpolaɨ nyuunyu ˆmʉrɨ vasúngaati, sa kutuurya mɨtɨma kwaanyu mwahʉmʉla kʉkʉhokera.But woe to you who are rich, for you have already received your comfort.

25Mpolaɨ nyuunyu ˆmwiíkutire haaha, sa kwaavwa mʉrɨ nɨ njala. Mpolaɨ nyuunyu ˆmooseka na cheerʉ haaha, sa rɨra mʉrɨ na rɨra mʉrɨ no myaa.Woe to you who are well fed now, for you will hunger. Woe to you who laugh now, for you will mourn and weep.

26Mpolaɨ nyuunyu vaantʉ voosi ˆvakavadʉ́ʉmbɨrɨraa, sa baa vala baaba vaavo viivyo vavadʉʉmbɨrɨráa, valáali na mʉtwe va ʉloongo.Woe to you when all men speak well of you, for their fathers treated the false prophets in the same way.

27Maa kaa, nɨ vawyɨɨra niise nyuunyu vara ˆmookʉʉnteerera, veendi vavɨ vaanyu. Vabweeyyiryi wʉʉja vara ˆvavasʉʉla.But to those of you who will listen, I say: Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you,

28Vatalaryi vara ˆvavajúmaa, na vara ˆvavabwéeyyiryaa mavɨ valoomberi kwa Mʉlʉʉngʉ.bless those who curse you, pray for those who mistreat you.

29Koonɨ mʉʉntʉ akʉváire lʉsayya lwa ivaru rɨmwɨ, mʉvarindʉrɨre na lwa ivaru rɨɨngɨ. Koonɨ mʉʉntʉ akʉhókire ikóoti raako, kʉmʉsɨɨtɨra isháati raako tʉkʉ.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.

30Mʉʉntʉ yoyoosi ʉra ˆyookʉloomba kɨɨntʉ, mʉheere. Kei, koonɨ mʉʉntʉ akʉhókire máari jaako, karɨ ʉdáayyaa akʉhɨndʉrɨre tʉkʉ.Give to everyone who asks you, and if anyone takes what is yours, do not demand it back.

31Mʉndoovabweeyyirya vɨɨngɨ ja ˆvyeene nyuunyu moosaaka vandoovabweeyyirya.Do to others as you would have them do to you.

32Koonɨ mʉveéndire vii vara ˆvaveenda nyuunyu, nɨ kʉnáálo che mʉrɨ turya? Amwɨ baa vaduwalo vaveenda vara ˆvaveenda voovo vii!If you love those who love you, what credit is that to you? Even sinners love those who love them.

33Kei, koonɨ mʉvabwéeyyiriirye maaja vara ˆvavabwéeyyiryaa wʉʉja vii, nɨ kʉnáálo che mooturya? Amwɨ baa vaduwalo vabweeyya viivyo!If you do good to those who do good to you, what credit is that to you? Even sinners do the same.

34Koonɨ moovakopesha vara ˆmookiilaangya rɨha varɨ, nɨ kʉnáálo che moopata? Baa vaduwalo vavakópeshaa vaduwalo viivaavo kʉnʉ vookiilaangya hɨndʉrɨrwa varɨ vyoosi ˆvakopesha.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.

35Maa kaa, nyuunyu mʉveende vavɨ vaanyu, na mʉndoovabweeyyirya wʉʉja. Kei, mʉndoovakopesha baa kiilaangya hɨndʉrɨrwa mʉrɨ tʉkʉ. Koonɨ mʉbwéeyyiirye jeyyo, ˆArɨ Mweerimweeri varɨha arɨ marɨho makʉʉlʉ. Kei, kʉva mʉrɨ vaana vaachwe sa yeeye aboohya kwa vara sɨ ˆvadʉ́ʉmbaa na vavɨ.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.

36Sa jeyyo, mʉve na mbavariri ja Taáta waanyu ˆvyeene arɨ na mbavariri.Be merciful, just as your Father is merciful.

37Karɨ mʉlámʉrɨraa tʉkʉ, de baa nyuunyu mʉdɨɨre kʉndoolamʉrɨrwa. Karɨ mʉlʉ́ʉsaa irya tʉkʉ, de baa nyuunyu mʉdɨɨre kʉndoolʉʉsɨrwa irya. Mʉndoovasea viivaanyu yasírire, sa baa nyuunyu mʉndoosewa yasírire.Do not judge, and you will not be judged. Do not condemn, and you will not be condemned. Forgive, and you will be forgiven.

38Mʉboohye ɨnda, aho naanyu heewa mweende. Kɨkomi, heewa mweende vipíimo ˆvyamema, vikasʉngʉsɨrwa mpaka vindookɨɨtɨkɨrɨra. Sa kipíimo kɨkɨra ˆmoopiimɨra vaantʉ vɨɨngɨ, noo ˆmʉrɨ piimɨrwa!”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.”

39Yéesu akavavaɨra lusímo ʉlʉ, akavasea, “Eri, mʉhoku ifaanaa amʉlongoole mwiiwaachwe wʉʉ? Kɨkomi voosi bʉrʉkɨra varɨ na iduundwii.Jesus also told them a parable: “Can a blind man lead a blind man? Will they not both fall into a pit?

40Mʉpooji sɨ arɨ mʉlookerera mukiindya waachwe tʉkʉ. Maa kaa, mʉpooji ʉra ˆahʉmʉla kiindiwa yoosi ifaanaa akadaha kʉva ja mukiindya waachwe.A disciple is not above his teacher, but everyone who is fully trained will be like his teacher.

41Amwɨ woolaanga kajʉla karɨ riiswii ra mwaanaanyu na ʉlɨ sɨ wookoona mpóngoola ˆɨrɨ riiswii raako?Why do you look at the speck in your brother’s eye but fail to notice the beam in your own eye?

42Joolɨ ʉrɨ mʉsea mwaanaanyu, ‘Mwanawiitʉ, tʉʉla nɨkʉseyye kajʉla riiswii raako,’ kʉnʉ weewe sɨ wookoona mpóngoola ˆɨrɨ riiswii raako? Weewe mʉkweembi! Seyya ta mpóngoola riiswii raako, de woone neeja na ʉdahe seyya kajʉla riiswii ra mwaanaanyu.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.

43Kusiina mʉtɨ ˆwabooha ˆwatʉ́ʉngaa ndɨɨwa ˆjavɨɨha tʉkʉ, na kusiina mʉtɨ ˆwavɨɨha ˆwatʉ́ʉngaa ndɨɨwa ˆjabooha tʉkʉ.No good tree bears bad fruit, nor does a bad tree bear good fruit.

44Vaantʉ vʉʉtáangaa mʉtɨ kwa ndɨɨwa jaachwe. Vaantʉ sɨ vatʉ́ʉndaa saambu mihuungii tʉkʉ na sɨ vatʉ́ʉndaa sabíibu mbiirii tʉkʉ.For each tree is known by its own fruit. Indeed, figs are not gathered from thornbushes, nor grapes from brambles.

45Noo jeyyo viri, mʉʉntʉ mʉʉja afúmyaa maaja fuma máari jaachwe ja kɨkomi ja mberii ja mutimii waachwe mʉʉja. Na mʉʉntʉ mʉvɨ afúmyaa mavɨ fuma mutimii waachwe mʉvɨ. Sa viintʉ ˆvyamema mutimii wa mʉʉntʉ, noo mʉlomo waachwe ʉlʉ́ʉsaa.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.

46Sa che mookʉʉnyanɨrɨra, ‘Mʉkʉ́lʉ, Mʉkʉ́lʉ!’ amwɨ sɨ mootʉmama yara ˆnoovawyɨɨra?Why do you call Me ‘Lord, Lord,’ but do not do what I say?

47Mʉʉntʉ yoyoosi ˆʉʉ́jaa na kʉrɨ nɨɨnɨ na ˆatéereraa no yakwaatya masáare yaanɨ, iifwɨ́ɨne na lusímo ʉlʉ,I will show you what he is like who comes to Me and hears My words and acts on them:

48yeeye nɨ ja mʉʉntʉ ˆajeengáa nyuumba, maa kaa, de aande jeenga, ajáa avɨɨka mwaariryo isii ya iduundu ˆrɨjáa rasiimbwa fʉʉrʉ mwaalaliwyii. Mbula ˆɨkavae na lʉʉjɨ lʉkʉʉlʉ ˆlukiike mpaka lʉkamoola ikɨko ra iboote, maaji yakakʉngʼʉntɨka na nyuumbii kwaachwe. Maa kaa, sa viintʉ nyuumba ɨra ɨjáa yajeengwa vyabooha, ayo maaji sɨ yadaha baa kwiisingisya tʉkʉ.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.

49Maa kaa, ʉra ˆatéeraa masáare yaanɨ baa yakwaatya tʉkʉ, nɨ ja mʉʉntʉ ˆajeenga nyuumba yaachwe ichuúkii baa siimba no vɨɨka mwaariryo tʉkʉ. Na maaji ˆyakabomole ikɨko ra maaji na maaji ˆyakakʉngʼʉntɨke na nyuumbii yaachwe, hahara nyuumba yaachwe yaawya, na ɨkabomoka vʉʉ!”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!”
