Luke 6 (LYN) · Opened

1Ba liywaa linjili no Pumulo, Jesu yo bita mu matema no ubeke, aiyetwa aye sebeli ayangula amakunka no ubeke, ni kwapolola mu maoko oo ni kulya oubeke.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.

2Kono anjili no Afalisi sebeli aamba nji, “Iikene aba mutenda eyi no kwafanena ba liywaa no Pumulo?”But some of the Pharisees asked, “Why are you doing what is unlawful on the Sabbath?”

3Cwale Jesu sebeli otambula nji, “Kamwa sikubala eyo ana ku tenda Dabida yo yombile, yonyene naawo ana kwikala naye?Jesus replied, “Have you not read what David did when he and his companions were hungry?

4Omo ana kwingenena mu ndoo ya Nyambe, noomo ana kushimbela ni kulya esinkwa sina ku lukisetwa Nyambe, eyo nakwafanena okuliwa ku munu yonje konji apulisita, mi sebeli obako nawo ana kwikala naye.”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.”

5Cwale Jesu sebeli wamba kwa onyene nji, “Omwana no Munu ni Mbumu no Pumulo.”Then Jesus declared, “The Son of Man is Lord of the Sabbath.”

6Ba liywaa elinjili no Pumulo, Jesu aba ana kwingena mu ndoo no milapelo ni kwiyetamo, na ku kwikala omulume osi ku kukutela olun̄an̄ali ku lyooko no silyo.On another Sabbath Jesus entered the synagogue and was teaching, and a man was there whose right hand was withered.

7Afalisi anjili na iyeti no mulawo sebeli aaliketa Jesu oku mona nji mba balisa omunu ba liywaa no Pumulo, nji cwale awane elibaka no kumununga eyambo.Looking for a reason to accuse Jesus, the scribes and Pharisees were watching Him closely to see if He would heal on the Sabbath.

8Kono Jesu sebeli olimuka emihupulo yoo, mi sebeli wamba ku mulume osiku kukutela elyoko nji, “Wiiye wimane bano.” Cwale sebeli oimana ni kuta ba lubala no aanu.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.

9Cwale Jesu sebeli wamba kwa onyene nji, “Kame nimi ibanguta nji, kakufanene eli no Pumulo okutenda eyi no kuwaba simba okutenda ouyi? Oku yoyisa omooyo nji okuusinya?”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?”

10Cwale sebeli waaliketa onje ni kwambela woyo mulume nji, “Oolole elyooko lyowe.” Mi sebeli otenda ngeeso, cwale elyoko lyaye sebeli libala.And after looking around at all of them, He said to the man, “Stretch out your hand.” He did so, and it was restored.

11Kono sebeli aiyala okutweba nuukwambisa mukaci koo eso sa fanene okutenda kwa Jesu.But the scribes and Pharisees were filled with rage and began to discuss with one another what they might do to Jesus.

12Mu maywaa aa Jesu sebeli ota ku lilundu oka lapela, mi usiku onje yotwalelela okulapela kwa Nyambe.In those days Jesus went out to the mountain to pray, and He spent the night in prayer to God.

13Cwale aba lina kupa eliywaa, sebeli oisana aiyetwa aye, ni kuketa mwa onyene aa no kukwana likumi na yiili, awo ana kubeekiwa nji atumiwa.When daylight came, He called His disciples to Him and chose twelve of them, whom He also designated as apostles:

14Simoni, ana kubeeka elitina lya Pitolosi, ni Adiliyasi minaye, Jakobo, ni Jowani, ni Filipi, ni Batolome,Simon, whom He named Peter, and his brother Andrew; James and John; Philip and Bartholomew;

15ni Mateu, ni Tomasi ni Jakobo omwana Alufeya, ni Simoni wisanwa nji Zeloti,Matthew and Thomas; James son of Alphaeus and Simon called the Zealot;

16ni Judasi Mwana Jakobo, ni Judasi Isikaliota, omubeteki.Judas son of James, and Judas Iscariot, who became a traitor.

17Cwale sebeli oshetumuka noo ni kwimana ba saana, ni kupula no aiyetwa aye naanu no kupula ana ku tunda mu Judeya monje ni mu Jelusalema ni ba likamba lya Tile ni Sidoni, ana kwiiya mu kumuteeteta ni ku balisiwa ku meeti oo,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.

18naawo ana ku ziyeleha ku mebo no kwiiba naku balisiwa.They had come to hear Him and to be healed of their diseases, and those troubled by unclean spirits were healed.

19Cwale oundi no aanu sebeli ayeya nji amuleme, kakuli amaata kame ana kutunda kwa yonyene ni kwaa balisa onje.The entire crowd was trying to touch Him, because power was coming from Him and healing them all.

20Cwale sebeli waliketa aiyetwa aye ni kwamba nji, “Embuyoti ni yenu anyi mushebile, kakuli omubuso wa Nyambe ni wenu!Looking up at His disciples, Jesus said: “Blessed are you who are poor, for yours is the kingdom of God.

21Embuyoti ni yenu anyi mu yombile bano, kakuli mba mwikuta! Embuyoti ni yenu anyi mu lila bano, kakuli mba musheke!Blessed are you who hunger now, for you will be filled. Blessed are you who weep now, for you will laugh.

22“Embuyoti ni yenu aba mutimbiwa kwaanu, naaba amicita, naaba amyangola, ni kukana elitina lyenu kanyi lyakwiiba, mulibaka lya Mwana no Munu!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.

23Mu wabelelwe mu liywaa elyo, mu nenge mu ku nyakalala, kakuli komone, omupuzo wenu ni wakuneneba ku wilu, kakuli anjekulyenu naaku tenda ngeeso kwa nuhi a Nyambe.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.

24“Kono oumai ni wenu asikufuma, kakuli na mu tambula omooyo no kotoba!But woe to you who are rich, for you have already received your comfort.

25Oumai ni wenu anyi mwiikutile bano, kakuli mba muyombo! Oumai ni wenu anyi musheka bano, kakuli mbamweene ni ku lila.Woe to you who are well fed now, for you will hunger. Woe to you who laugh now, for you will mourn and weep.

26“Oumai ni wenu, abo aanu onje aba aamba ouwa wenu, kakuli anjekulyoo kame ana kutenda ngeeso kwa nuhi no mapwa.Woe to you when all men speak well of you, for their fathers treated the false prophets in the same way.

27“Kono kame namba kwaanyi muyupa, mu singe eila yenu, mu tende wino kwawo ami timbile,But to those of you who will listen, I say: Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you,

28mu fuyole awo amikuta, mu lapelele awo ami timbile.bless those who curse you, pray for those who mistreat you.

29Woyo okufula ku litama limweya omube akufule kame ku litama linjili, mi omunu nji aku byangule ebaki yowe omube mane ni hembe yowe.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.

30Obe woyo okumbela kwa wene, ni woyo oshimba einu yowe olese ku mubyangulayo kame.Give to everyone who asks you, and if anyone takes what is yours, do not demand it back.

31Cwale omu musingela nji aanu ami tendele, naanyi mutende ngeeso kwa onyene.Do to others as you would have them do to you.

32“Nji kame musinga awo ami singa, kawitumelo sa mu mone? Kakuli simba asikutenda eibi kame asinga awo aasinga!If you love those who love you, what credit is that to you? Even sinners love those who love them.

33Cwale nji otenda ouwa kwaawo atenda ouwa kwa wene, ka witumelo sau mone? kakuli simba nonyene asi kutenda eibi mwatendela ngeeso!If you do good to those who do good to you, what credit is that to you? Even sinners do the same.

34Cwale nji kame mukalima awo mu sepile nji mba myusete, ka witumelo sa mu mone? Simba asiku tenda eibi, kame akalimana nawo atenda eibi, nji ausetwe mukupula ngeeso.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.

35Kono mu singe eila yenu, mwaa tende wino, mwaa kolotise me mwabilaele nji muusetwe esinjili, mi omupuzo wenu kame saunenebe, mi kame sa mu tende aana a Nyambe Oli Beulu, kakuli yonyene niwa sishemo kwaawo no kwaku tumela naawo akusinga onyene.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.

36Mwikale ni makeke kanyi Sitenu aba ali ni makeke.Be merciful, just as your Father is merciful.

37“Mu lese kwatula nji naanyi muulwe okwatuliwa, mu lese oku nyaza nji naanyi muulwe oku nyaziwa, mu lemene akwenu nji naanyi mu lemenwe.Do not judge, and you will not be judged. Do not condemn, and you will not be condemned. Forgive, and you will be forgiven.

38Mube, nji naanyi mubiwe, niti luli kame sa mu tambule empo no utokwa eyo saibeekwe mu makaa enu. Kakuli esikala no kuwaba, mwetela banji mane mwinyunge bamweya, mwituke beulu mi mbaibekiwa ba yeelo yenu. Kakuli esikala muba kwa kwenu, naanyi sokame eso sa muwane.”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.”

39Kame Jesu sebeli waambela enguli nji, “Kana esibofu kame sitwesa oku twaletela esibofu sinjili? Yonje kaitamba okukwela mu wina?”Jesus also told them a parable: “Can a blind man lead a blind man? Will they not both fall into a pit?

40Omwiyetwa katwese okubitelela omwiyeti waye, kono omunu yonje aba ana mana okwiyetiwa kame safeke kanyi omwiyeti waye.A disciple is not above his teacher, but everyone who is fully trained will be like his teacher.

41Ngasibine waliketa esoopu sili mu litiyo no mwabowe, kono wene kumono omusumo oli mu litiyo lyowe?Why do you look at the speck in your brother’s eye but fail to notice the beam in your own eye?

42Simba nji ngasibine so twesete okwambela omwabowe nji, ‘Mwabange, tumone ni kutundise esoopu sili mu litiyo lyowe,’ abo weene kumono omusumo owo oli mu litiyo lyowe? Wene osikukuba, oweli otundise omusumo oli mu litiyo lyowe, okubinda cwale somone wino oku tundisa esoopu sili mu litiyo no mwabowe.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“Kakuli kakwisa esitondo no kuwaba sibeeke embuya no kwiiba, simba nji kame esitondo no kwiiba sibeeke embuya no kuwaba.No good tree bears bad fruit, nor does a bad tree bear good fruit.

44Mulibaka elyo esitondo sonje kame silimukelwa ku mbuya yaso sibeeka, kakuli etifeiga kati yangulwa ku mikakani, simba esisansa no beine kasi yangulwa ku mukona.For each tree is known by its own fruit. Indeed, figs are not gathered from thornbushes, nor grapes from brambles.

45Omunu no kuwaba kame atundisa eyi no kuwaba mu sitewelo na mu mucima waye, mi omunu no kwiiba kame atundisa eyi no kwiiba mu sitewelo saye no kwiiba, kakuli akanwa no munu kame kaamba eso siiyalile mu mucima waye.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“Ngasibine aba mu niisana nji ‘Mbumu, Mbumu,’ mi ka mutende eso ni myambela?Why do you call Me ‘Lord, Lord,’ but do not do what I say?

47Omunu yonje woyo wiiya kwa mene ni ku teeteta ku maywi ange ni kwasebelisa, mbimi simwete eso aku fekile naso.I will show you what he is like who comes to Me and hears My words and acts on them:

48Kame aku fekile kanyi omulume oyaka endoo yaye, woyo ona kutungisa onene bakutombola, ni kuyaka omutomo waye ba liwee, mi cwale omuunda aba wiiya, ameyi aba afula onene ba ndoo, mi katwese okunyanganyisa endoo eyo, kakuli kame iyakilwe wino.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.

49Kono woyo oyupa amaywi ange mi kaasebelisa, kame akufekile kanyi omulume oyaka endoo yaye ba mumbu feela aba nambulwa omutomo, mi ameyi aba afulabo onene ababo kame ikwa, mi oku sinyeha no ndoo eyo kame sakutende oku no kuneneba onene!”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!”
