Luke 11 (LYN) · Opened

1Kame ana kulapelelanga mu sibaka sinjili, mi aba ana kumana, omunjili no aiyetwa aye sebeli wamba kwa yonyene nji, “Mbumu, otwiyete okulapela kanyi Jowani aba ana kwiyeta aiyetwa aye.”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.”

2Cwale Jesu sebeli waambela nji, “Aba mulapela, mwambe nji, ‘Sitetu, elitina lyowe liikale eli no kukena, kwiiye omubuso wowe.So Jesus told them, “When you pray, say: ‘Father, hallowed be Your name. Your kingdom come.

3Otube balelo esilyanu setu omo otubelanga mu liywaa ni liywaa.Give us each day our daily bread.

4Otu lemene emibonda yetu kanyi omo tulemenanga akwetu awo atu foseza. Ole kutu leselela okwingena mu miliko.’”And forgive us our sins, for we also forgive everyone who sins against us. And lead us not into temptation.’”

5Cwale sebeli wamba kwa onyene nji, “Anyine kwaanyi woyo otwesa okuta kwa mulikani waye bakaci no usiku nuka mwambela nji, ‘Mulikani, onibeko einkwa yaatu.Then Jesus said to them, “Suppose one of you goes to his friend at midnight and says, ‘Friend, lend me three loaves of bread,

6Omulikani wange naiyi mi sikwite esi no kumuyumbula.because a friend of mine has come to me on a journey, and I have nothing to set before him.’

7Cwale kame satambule yoli mukaci nji, ‘Ole kunikataza esaandi nasi yatiliwa kale, mene na naange twalangana kale mi sitwese okwinguka okukuba eso osaela.’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.’

8Kame nimyambela nji, simba nji katamba okwiinguka okumuba eso asaela kakuli mulikani waye, kono mbainguka mane nikukuba eyo asaela yonje kakuli kaene okutwalelela okukumbela.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.

9Cwale kame nimyambela nji, mukumbele mi mba mubiwi, musaele mi mba muwana, mungongote mi mba muyatulelwa.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.

10Kwa woyo yonje okumbela mba biwi, woyo osaela mbawana mi woyo ongongota mba yatulelwa.For everyone who asks receives; he who seeks finds; and to him who knocks, the door will be opened.

11Anyine omushemi mukaci kenu, nji mwanaye kame akumbela ondi, kana kame atwesa okumuba enyoka okubita ondi?What father among you, if his son asks for a fish, will give him a snake instead?

12Simba nji kame akumbela eliki kame otwesa okumuba esoowa?Or if he asks for an egg, will give him a scorpion?

13Cwale nji anyi no kwiiba mulimukile okuba anenu eyi no kuwaba aba amikumbela, cwale mbakwikala ngasibine kwa Sitetu nakuwilu kwawo amukumbela Emebo No Kukena!”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!”

14Cwale Jesu kame ana kutundisanga esidimona no umumu, cwale esindimona aba sina kutunda, omulume no simumu sebeli otateka okwamba mi aanu sebeli akomoka,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,

15kono aanu anjili sebeli aamba nji, “Kame atundisa amadimona mulibaka lya Beluzibule, omukulu no madimona.”but some of them said, “It is by Beelzebul, the prince of the demons, that He drives out demons.”

16Cwale anjili sebeli amweteka muku kumbela esisupo okutunda kuwilu.And others tested Him by demanding a sign from heaven.

17Kono Jesu sebeli olimuka eyo ana nahananga, sebeli wamba kwa onyene nji, “Omubuso wonje owo okutabile wonyene, kame osinyeha, mi nji endoo kame ikutaba bakaci kame ikwa.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.

18Mi cwale nji Satani kame akutabile yonyene, ngasibine sawongolele omubuso waye? Anyi kame mwamba nji kame nitundisa amadimona mulibaka lya Beluzibule.If Satan is divided against himself, how can his kingdom stand? After all, you say that I drive out demons by Beelzebul.

19Mi nji kame nitundisa amadimona mulibaka lya Beuzibule, cwale anenu kame tundisanga amadimona mulibaka lyaanyine? Abo cwale mbatende aatuli enu.And if I drive out demons by Beelzebul, by whom do your sons drive them out? So then, they will be your judges.

20Kono nji ni mulibaka no munwe wa Nyambe aba nitundisa amadimona, cwale omubuso wa Nyambe nawiyi kwaanyi.But if I drive out demons by the finger of God, then the kingdom of God has come upon you.

21Cwale omulume no koongola okutukisete okumamela endoo yaye, eibyana yaye mbaikala mu kozo.When a strong man, fully armed, guards his house, his possessions are secure.

22Kono cwale nji omulume no koongola okumubita aba aiya niku mukoma, kame atundisa eilwiso yaye eyo asepile ni kutaba oufumu waye.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.

23“Woyo kasa kwa mene kame anilwisa, mi nji omunu kakuwana ni mene kame ashandola.He who is not with Me is against Me, and he who does not gather with Me scatters.

24“Cwale emebo no kwakena aba ina tundu ku munu, kame ibita mu ibaka nambulwa meyi okusaela esibaka no kwikala. Nji kaiwana cwale kame yamba nji, ‘Mbiuku mu ndoo yange omo nina tundu ni kayoyemo.’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.’

25Cwale aba iiya sebeli iwana nji nai fiyeliwa ni kubeeka einu wino.On its return, it finds the house swept clean and put in order.

26Cwale kame ita okashimba kame injili no kwiiba okubita ni yonyene no kukwana itanu ni yiili, mi kame iiya ni kuyoya mo. Cwale aba iyoya mo yonje omwikalelo wa woyo munu kame sawiibe onene okubita ba weli.”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.”

27Jesu aba ana kwambanga ngeeso, omukati sebeli otumuka mukaci no aanu yokuweleza ni liywi no kuneneba ni kwamba nji, “Embuyoti niya lipumo elyo linaku kuleya mane ni maele owo ona kuyamwa!”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!”

28Kono Jesu sebeli wamba nji, “Embuyoti cwale niyawo ayupa eliywi lya Nyambe ni kuliteula!”But He replied, “Blessed rather are those who hear the word of God and obey it.”

29Cwale oundi no aanu aba ona kwekezeha, sebeli otateka okwamba nji, “Olusika olu nilwa kwiiba, kame akumbele emakazo kono kakwisa emakazo saibiwe kwa onyene konji feela emakazo ya Jonasi.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.

30Kanyi Jona omo ana kutendela emakazo kwaanu a Nenibe, cwale ni Mwana no munu mba tende emakazo ku lusika olu.For as Jonah was a sign to the Ninevites, so the Son of Man will be a sign to this generation.

31Ombumu no mukati naku mutulo mba imana ba katulo na lume no lusika olu nik wanyaza, kakuli kame ana kutunda ku mamaneneno no litunga mukuteeteta okushangama kwa Solomoni, mi komumone esinjili no kubitelela Solomoni sino sokame.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.

32Alume no Nenibe mba inguka ba katulo ni lusika olu ni kulunyaza, kakuli nakubaka ba kutazo ya Jonasi, mi cwale komumone esinu no kuneneba okubitelela Jona sino sokame.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“Kakwisa omunu woyo otumbula elambi ni kwibeeka munji no tafule simba okwishweeka, kono kame aibeeka beulu nji cwale awo aingena amone eliseli.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.

34Amiyo enu eliseli no lutu lwenu, cwale amiyo enu nji kame amona wino, olutu lwenu lonje kame lwiyalile eliseli kono cwale nji amiyo enu kamono wino, olutu lwenu kame lwiyalile ouwi.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.

35Cwalehe mumamele nji eliseli lyenu lilese okufutuka ouwi.Be careful, then, that the light within you is not darkness.

36Nji cwale olutu lwenu lonje kame lwiyalile eliseli mi kalukwite esilama no uwi, kame salubenye kanyi abo elambi aba iba eliseli.”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.”

37Ababo yo sambola, Omulume no Mufalisi sebeli omukumbela nji alye naye, abo sebeli oingena nukekala ku tafule.As Jesus was speaking, a Pharisee invited Him to dine with him; so He went in and reclined at the table.

38Omufalisi sebeli okomoka onene okumona nji Jesu kasiku kuyowa ku makaa aye yokasilya kale.But the Pharisee was surprised to see that Jesus did not first wash before the meal.

39Abo Ombumu sebeli wamba kwa yonyene nji, “Cwale bano, anyi Afalisi kame muyowisa bandee no komoki yenu ni siwana, kono mukaci kenu kame kwiyalile ouyi ni ufokoli.Then the Lord said, “Now you Pharisees clean the outside of the cup and dish, but inside you are full of greed and wickedness.

40Anyi aelo! Kasa nji Nyambe woyo ona kuumba bandee yona kutenda ni mukaci kame?You fools! Did not the One who made the outside make the inside as well?

41Kono mube awo ashebile eyo inu ili mukaci, cwale komumone, einu yonje yakukena kwaanyi.But give as alms the things that are within you, and behold, everything will be clean for you.

42“Kono oumai niwenu Afalisi! Kakuli kame muba Nyambe esino likumi eso no Minta ni Lue ni miloho yonye ni kusheununa eniti ni lilato lya Nyambe eyi yamuna kufanena okutenda okuulwile okusheununa akwenu.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.

43Oumai ni wenu Afalisi! Kakuli kame musinga eipula no utokwa mu tindoo no milapelo mane ni kuba elikute mu ibaka no misika.Woe to you Pharisees! For you love the chief seats in the synagogues and the greetings in the marketplaces.

44Oumai ni wenu! Kakuli kame mukufekile kanyi amayumbelo no kwamoniwa mi aanu kame aenda beulu wawo nambulwa kulimukiwa.Woe to you! For you are like unmarked graves, which men walk over without even noticing.”

45Omunjili no mwimaneni no mulawo sebeli otambula nji, “Mwiyeti, mu kwamba ngeeso kame otwangula kame!”One of the experts in the law told Him, “Teacher, when You say these things, You insult us as well.”

46Cwale Jesu sebeli wamba nji, “Oumayi ni wenu aimaneni no mulawo! Kakuli kame mushimbisa aanu ashimbo no kulema kono aanyi kame mukwangwa okushimba emishimbo yenu simba ni minwe.“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.

47Oumai ni wenu! Kakuli kame muyaka amayumbelo no anuhi a Nyambe awo ana kwibaiwa kwa njekulyenu.Woe to you! For you build tombs for the prophets, but it was your fathers who killed them.

48Abo kame muli apaki naikaleli ku tikezo ta njekulyenu, kakuli naakwaibaa mi anyi kame muyaka amayumbelo oo.So you are witnesses consenting to the deeds of your fathers: They killed the prophets, and you build their tombs.

49Abo cwale kame okushangama kwa Nyambe kame kwamba nji, ‘Mbi atumene anuhi ni atumiwa, anjili kwa onyene mbaa ibaa mane ni kwayandisa.’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.’

50Abo cwale olusika olu mba lubalelwe emibonda no ashemi oo no kwibaa anuhi okutunda ku matatekelo no litunga,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,

51okutunda ku unyinga wa Abele okutwala ku unyinga wa Zakaliya, woyo ona kwibaelwa mukaci no aletale ni sibaka no kukena. Eee kame nimyambela nji olusika olu mba lubalelwe emibonda eyi yonje.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“Oumai ni wenu aimaneni no mulawo kakuli namushimbi etinotolo no tingana. Kamusi kwingenamo kono kame muna kukwangwesa awo ana kusinga okwingenamo!”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.”

53Abo Jesu yositunda abo, aiyeti no mulawo na Falisi sebeli amukandimeka ni kumutinisa nji aambe einu no kupula,As Jesus went on from there, the scribes and Pharisees began to oppose Him bitterly and to ply Him with questions about many things,

54okumu tatelela nji aleme einu saambe.waiting to catch Him in something He might say.
