Luke 11 (MGH2016)

1Nihuku nimoka Yesu aari alhapelhaka vo vekha awe. Amalhiheke, owiittucha awe mmoka nkaamwirelha, “Thithi, nniittuchiheke ni hii ulhepelha, thoko chinre aya Nayohana wo weettuchiha owiittucha aya.”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.”

2Yesu nkeerelha, “Vanolhapelha inyu mwiireke, ‘Athithi nri wiirimu, Nchina ninyu nithimichiye, imwene inyu iwe.So Jesus told them, “When you pray, say: ‘Father, hallowed be Your name. Your kingdom come.

3Nnivaheke yolhia ihu kila nihuku.Give us each day our daily bread.

4Nnihiyerereke uwonya wihu, thoko nineera ihu wo waahiyerera anittekenlhe. Nnoopolhe muulhikachiyani.’ ”And forgive us our sins, for we also forgive everyone who sins against us. And lead us not into temptation.’”

5Yesu nkeerelhacha tho owiittucha awe, “Ikhalhe wiira mmoka inyu norwaa wa ampwana awe uhiyu variyari ni uhimia wiira, ‘Mpwana, nkaashimihe mikatte miraru,Then Jesus said to them, “Suppose one of you goes to his friend at midnight and says, ‘Friend, lend me three loaves of bread,

6alheto ahokiphwanya ampwana aka ari munkwahani, ni mii akirina ittu yo waavaha!’because a friend of mine has come to me on a journey, and I have nothing to set before him.’

7Ni ayo anari mpaani nkayaakhulha, ‘Nthame uwo nhikihuvihe mii! Kihottia nlhako, mii ni achishaana aka nihokelha mpaani urupani. Paahi akinonkwa kiwe kouvahani ittu iriyoothe.’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.’

8Inohalha wiiria chani etu? Kinouhimeriani ikekhia wiira khanoonkwa uwaavahani nkatte wo nlhatu no umpwana waarina aya, mena, nansho wo nlhatu no waanyakulha ni uthepa uvekelha, phi chiichammo chinohalha aya wunkwa ni waavaha ittu inovekelha aya.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.

9“Paahi etu, Nvekelheke nnoovahiya, mwaavieke nnoopatta, nhodisheke vankhorani nnoohulhelhiya.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.

10Ukhalhawaya ntu riyoothe novekelha noovahiya, ni ntu naavia noopatta, ni ntu nohodisha vankhorani noohulhelhiya.For everyone who asks receives; he who seeks finds; and to him who knocks, the door will be opened.

11Chani mwaana vanovekelha awe ihopa wa anaangoro awe, novahiya inwaa kuhiwe ihopa?What father among you, if his son asks for a fish, will give him a snake instead?

12Ama novahiya nikharang'andha vanovekelha awe nnyoche?Or if he asks for an egg, will give him a scorpion?

13Inakhalhaka nri attu o unanara mirima nansho nhochuwelha chittu choombone cho waavaha achishaana inyu. Chani etu, athumwaninyu o wiirimu khanouvahani chittu choombone wo upwaha, anowaavaha Iphumu ya Nlhuku attu anaavekelha!”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!”

14Nihuku nimoka Yesu aari omolhaka nshoka no unanara nantunke ntu huulhumache. Paahi etu vankhumme aya, ntu ulhe ahooria wulhumacha tho, mpaka nlhoko wa attu nkawoomiya uwanoni.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,

15Nansho attu akina nkayeera, “Noomolha mashoka wo ikuru yo Belzebuli, nholhelhi o mashoka o unanara, phi nommaha ikuru yo woomolha.”but some of them said, “It is by Beelzebul, the prince of the demons, that He drives out demons.”

16Attu akina yaari athananaka unria Yesu, paahi nkayamwiirelha wiira apange cho ushangiha cho wiirimu oonihe wiira Nlhuku ri vamoka ni uyo.And others tested Him by demanding a sign from heaven.

17Nansho Yesu ahochuwelha choopuwelha aya, nkeera, “Imwene iriyoothe imianelhe yaatakanaka ineeneru yeyo khinolhokelha chinene, chiicho iwani imianelhe yaatakanaka ineneru inowulhuwa.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.

18Paahi yakhalhaka etu imwene yo Nakare iheemianiha yaatakanaka ineeneru, inohalha ulhokelha chani? Mwaatti nneera wiira eti kinoomolha mashoka wo uvahiya ikuru ni Belzebuli.If Satan is divided against himself, how can his kingdom stand? After all, you say that I drive out demons by Beelzebul.

19Yakhalhaka kinoomolha mashoka wo ikuru yo Belzebuli, owiittucha inyu etu anoomolha wo ikuru ya apani? Wo yoyo nlhatu uyo etu ashaana inyu mwaashinene phi nowa uhukumulhani mwaatti.And if I drive out demons by Beelzebul, by whom do your sons drive them out? So then, they will be your judges.

20Nansho yakhalhaka kinoomolha mashoka wo ikuru ya Nlhuku, nchuwelheke wiira Imwene ya Nlhuku ihomalha uphiya uwaninyu.But if I drive out demons by the finger of God, then the kingdom of God has come upon you.

21“Ntu o machiri vanolhitelhelha awe inupa awe ni ikerero, inupa ni nhakhu awe chinoolhama.When a strong man, fully armed, guards his house, his possessions are secure.

22Nansho awaaka ntu o machiri chinene o mpwaha ni umwaata ni ummulhusha, yoyo nookusha ikerero chaakhulhuvelha awe chiyo ni umwaakha nhakhu.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“Ntu riyoothe hiri vamoka ni mii, yoyo nookivinga, hinokhungura vamoka ni mii yoyo phi noomwarusha.He who is not with Me is against Me, and he who does not gather with Me scatters.

24“Nshoka no unanara vanoomolhiya aya mwiiruttuni mwa ntu, nivovira neetakachaka uhiri maashi naaviaka nipuro no wiittuwa. Naahooneke, vavawo phi neera aya, ‘Kinoohokolhia unupani waka.’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.’

25Paahi noohokolhia ni uphwanya inupa mwaari inakwechiye ni urerihiya.On its return, it finds the house swept clean and put in order.

26Paahi tho, phi norwaa aya ni waakusha mashoka makina saba o uhilhoka umphwaha uyo, ni uwa uukhalhani vamoka ni uyo. Vanomalha aya, ntu uyo nokhalha muuhuvani chinene upwaha khalhayi.”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.”

27Yesu voolhumacha awe, opani amoka nkayeera, “Ahopuha athiyana uyanreni ni uwaamwiihani!”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!”

28Nansho Yesu nkaakhulha, “Nansho areeriye chinene, phi ayo aneewa nlhove na Nlhuku ni uvarechesha!”But He replied, “Blessed rather are those who hear the word of God and obey it.”

29Nlhoko wa attu voonchereria aya, Yesu nkeera tho, “Ilha iyari ilha iri yo uhilhoka ilha! Inovekelha woona cho ushangiha, nansho khinoonihiya yo ushangiha iriyoothe ihikhalhe i Nayona.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.

30Chiichammo etu Nayona chenre aya wo waashangiha attu o Uninavi, phi chiichammo Mwaana a Ntu chinohalha awe waashangiha attu o ilha iyari ilha.For as Jonah was a sign to the Ninevites, so the Son of Man will be a sign to this generation.

31Nihuku no uhukumulhiya attu nno, Ahano o Usheeba anowa weemelha ni waahukumulha attu e ilha iyari ilha, ukhalhawaya ahovira toka utayi awe eewelhelha irusho chi Naselemani, ni mii kinohimia wiira vaa haawo Yesu, ntu mulhupalhe naapwaha Naselemani.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.

32Nihuku no uhukumulhiya attu, attu o Uninavi anowa weemelha waahukumulha attu o ilha iyari ilha wiira ahowonya. Ukhalhawaya attu o Uninavi ahokhoroma veewilhe aya meettuchiho a Nayona, nansho vaa hawo mulhupalhe naapwaha Nayona!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“Khaawo ntu noparihelha ikhandiri awe ni ukhuneelha ittutu, nansho nothomia vachulhu ikiango wiira yaamwalhelhe attu anokelha mpaani.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.

34Miitho inyu phi nthuko wo iruttu. Miitho inyu akhalhaka makumi, iruttu yonkhaye inokhalha voonene, nansho miitho awereiyaka iruttu yonkhaye inokhalha yo unanara, inokhalha mwiipiphini.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.

35Mwiiraniheke etu, nthuko uri nhina mwinyu uhikhalhe ipiphi.Be careful, then, that the light within you is not darkness.

36Paahi etu, iruttu inyu yonkhaye yakhalhaka voonene, wo uhikhalha mwiipiphini, iruttu inokhalha voonene thoko vanomwalhelhiya aya ni nthuko.”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.”

37Yesu amalhihekeru wulhumacha, Afarisayo amoka ahomwiirelha arwee alhie yolhia uwannyawe. Nkaarwa ulhiani yolhia, nkaakhalha ulhia.As Jesus was speaking, a Pharisee invited Him to dine with him; so He went in and reclined at the table.

38Afarisayo ayo nkayaashanga woona wiira Yesu aari alhiaka wo uhinyawa mathatha rata.But the Pharisee was surprised to see that Jesus did not first wash before the meal.

39Paahi Athithi nkayeera, “Mwaatti Amafarisayo va, nnohapiha ikahi ni iphache wo vatheru, nansho nhina ncharaka chittu cho nanrokotolhe chihinlhoka.Then the Lord said, “Now you Pharisees clean the outside of the cup and dish, but inside you are full of greed and wickedness.

40Nhophupuwalha inyu ayi! Nlhuku phi kooronshe vathe ni nhina chiicho.You fools! Did not the One who made the outside make the inside as well?

41Nansho mwaavaheke attu ahirina chittu chiri nhina, ni chikina chonkhaye chiyo chinookhalha chorera uwaninyu.But give as alms the things that are within you, and behold, everything will be clean for you.

42“Nhothapana inyu Mwaamafarisayo va! Ukhalhawaya nnaahukumulha ni waalhiviha attu isadaka yo nifungu no khumi ata yo mathaakhuru o uhelhiya mmathapani, nchicha ni mathaakhuru makina, nansho nhilhohaka mwaha wo uvarechesha ikekhiaye ni uttuna wa Nlhuku. Yayo yaaphwanelhiye wooniya wiira nhovarechesha rata nhilhiyalhaka makina ayo.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“Nhothapana inyu Mwaamafarisayo va! Mwaatti nnottuna ukhalha miholho mapuro o nthimicho wi inupa yo unlhapelha Nlhuku ni ukohachiya wo nthimicho vanopangiya maronda.Woe to you Pharisees! For you love the chief seats in the synagogues and the greetings in the marketplaces.

44Nhothapana inyu! Mwaatti nri thoko mahiye o uhichuwania, attu aneeta aya vachulhu waya ahichuwelhaka.”Woe to you! For you are like unmarked graves, which men walk over without even noticing.”

45Owiittuchiha Malhehero a ashinna Musa amoka nkayaamwiirelha, “Owiittuchiha, venre inyu chiicho, nhoniruwana!”One of the experts in the law told Him, “Teacher, when You say these things, You insult us as well.”

46Yesu nkaakhulha, “Nhothapana ni inyu Owiittuchiha Malhehero a ashinna Musa va! Nnaaria attu misigo cho ulhemelha, nansho mwaanene nhookolhaka nikokho nhaakavihaka ukusha chechiyo misigo chiyo.“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.

47Nhothapana inyu! Ukhalhawaya nnoovaka mahiye a anamilhohi a Nlhuku eevakachiye ni manyaapwiinyu.Woe to you! For you build tombs for the prophets, but it was your fathers who killed them.

48Paahi etu nnohimiechesha ni uvarechesha mitheko cho manyaapwiiya inyu, ukhalhawaya yayo phi evilhe anamilhohi ni inyu vano nnoovaka mahiye aya.So you are witnesses consenting to the deeds of your fathers: They killed the prophets, and you build their tombs.

49Wo nenno nlhove nno etu, irusho cha Nlhuku chineera, ‘Kinowaarweehelha anamilhohi ni akarumiya, anokoweeva akina ni waatwarushacha akina.’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.’

50Paahi etu attu o ilha iyari ilha anowa utwarushachiya wo weeva anamilhohi a Nlhuku onkhaye toka voopiye aya ilhapo,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,

51toka wiiviya wa Nahabilu mpaka wiiviya u Nazakariya, yeeviye variyari madhubahu ni Inupa Itakatifu. Eiyo, kinouhimeriani wiira, attu a ilha iyari ilha anowa utwarushiya wo mitheko chaya!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“Nhothapana inyu owiittuchiha Malhehero! Ukhalhawaya nhokusha mittukulho cho nlhako wo inupa yo irusho, mwaanene nhikelhaka, mwaachiichihaka attu anlhikacha ukelha wowo!”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.”

53Vaathama awe, Amafarisayo alhe ni owiittuchiha Malhehero nkayaachokholha unchopeyacha chinene wo unkohakoha chookohiya chinchi,As Jesus went on from there, the scribes and Pharisees began to oppose Him bitterly and to ply Him with questions about many things,

54alhikachaka unria wiira ammare wo malhove awe.waiting to catch Him in something He might say.
