Luke 11 (MGV) · Opened

1Lisoba limu, Yesu jabi pandu akundoba Sapanga. Ejajomula kuloba, mbolee waki jumu apwagila, “Bambo, tuloba utubola kundoba Sapanga ngati Yohana Mmbatisa ejwaabolaa banafunzi baki.”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 jaapwagila, “Pamundoba Sapanga mpwaaga ana, ‘Atati bitu! Lihina laku la Sapi lilumbilika, Ukolongu waku guhika.So Jesus told them, “When you pray, say: ‘Father, hallowed be Your name. Your kingdom come.

3Gutupekiya posu jitu ja kila lisoba.Give us each day our daily bread.

4Gutulekakiya mahakau gitu, ngati twenga etwalekake bandu boti babutuhengi liyaha. Wala watubeka mwimilengu.’ ”And forgive us our sins, for we also forgive everyone who sins against us. And lead us not into temptation.’”

5Ndienu Yesu jaapwagila banafunzi baki, “Tupwaga kati ji jumu jubi nukosi waki, jwajenda kunyumba jaki pamahiku nukumpwagi, ‘Nkosi wango, nanoba gumbeke mabumunda matatu,Then Jesus said to them, “Suppose one of you goes to his friend at midnight and says, ‘Friend, lend me three loaves of bread,

6ndaba nkosi waa jojubii kusapwali juhikiki kunyumba jango, nane ngase mina posu.’because a friend of mine has come to me on a journey, and I have nothing to set before him.’

7Najombi koni jubi nkati jakapwaga, ‘Gwinzumbua nepani! Nepani mbungiki nndiyangu, nepani na bana bangu tugoni. Nganhwesi kujumuka kukupeke sokapi.’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.’

8Numpwagi sakaka, hata ana mundu hoju ngajwiijumuki kumpeke posu nkosi waki ndaba nkosi waki lakini ndaba ngasejubona iyoni kuendalee kuloba, ndienu mwoni katai jwiijumuka nukumpeke sokapi sela sejupala.”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“Ndienu numpwagila, nndoba nanamu biitenda kupekea, ntaputa nanamu mwiitenda kupata, nhotima nanamu biitenda kunhogule nndyango.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.

10Ndaba mundu jokapi jojuloba jwiitenda kujopa, na mundu jokapi jojutaputa jwiitenda kujupata, na mundu jokapi jojuhotima biitenda kunhogule nndiyango.For everyone who asks receives; he who seeks finds; and to him who knocks, the door will be opened.

11Atati boo kati jinu mwana waki ana anndobiki homba ampekia lijoka?What father among you, if his son asks for a fish, will give him a snake instead?

12Au najulobiki lihombi, apekia lee kipeleli?Or if he asks for an egg, will give him a scorpion?

13Ana mwanganya, mombi na mahakau mmanyiki kwaapeke bana bi hindu ya sapi, boo atati binu bu kunani, nga lee baapekee Loho jaki bandu babundoba!”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!”

14Lisoba limwa Yesu jwabiya jupia kilombu kuhuma kwaka mundu sesuhengika mundu we hoju jubia kimumuta. Ni kilombu esumpita mundu we jola jatumbuliya kulonge, bandu basangii ngamaa.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,

15Lakini bandu bangi bapwaga, “Haba, abenga ilombu kwa makili gaka Belizebuli, nkolongu wii hilombu.”but some of them said, “It is by Beelzebul, the prince of the demons, that He drives out demons.”

16Bandu bangi bapala kundenga Yesu, bapala julangila nginyuli kuhuma kunani kwaka Sapanga yeilangi Sapanga antei kuntuma.And others tested Him by demanding a sign from heaven.

17Lakini Yesu jamanyiki kuholale kwabu, ndienu jaapwajila, “Ukolongu wokapi gogubaganiki makundimakundi nukukomana ngasegutama, lukolu lolubaganika lweni kwa lweni lwitenda kuwa.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.

18Ana Lijobi gogubaganiki nukulipenga lyeni, ukolongu waki gwijema bole? Mbwaga hela ndaba mwanganya mpwaga ne menga ilombu kwa makili gaka Belizebuli.If Satan is divided against himself, how can his kingdom stand? After all, you say that I drive out demons by Beelzebul.

19Ana ne mbia ilombu kwamakili gaka Belizebuli, boo bandu bii apia ilombu kwa makili gaka nyanye? Ana hela bandu binu mwabe biitenda kuntemu!And if I drive out demons by Beelzebul, by whom do your sons drive them out? So then, they will be your judges.

20Lakini ana mbia ilombu kuuwesu waka Sapanga, nala mmanya ukolongu waka Sapanga guhikiki kwiinu.But if I drive out demons by the finger of God, then the kingdom of God has come upon you.

21“Mundu jwana makili pajulonda nyumba jaki kwa hindu yukukomane ngondu, hindu yaki ngakuwesa kunyagika.When a strong man, fully armed, guards his house, his possessions are secure.

22Lakini ana juhikiki mundu jongi jwanamakili kupeta jombi, jwiitenda kunndapu nukuwesa, jwiinyaga hindu yaki yukukomane ngondu yejuihobale yela nukubaga hindu yebunnyagiki.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“Mundu jokapi jwanga kuba upandi wangu hoju jundenda kumbenga, na mundu jokapi jwanga kubonga pamu nanepani jutenda kupesangana.He who is not with Me is against Me, and he who does not gather with Me scatters.

24“Kilombu esumpita mundu, kijendajenda pandu panga na masi kitaputa pandu pukupomule. Ana ngasekipatiki pandu pukupomule salipwagila, ‘Niikelubuka mu nyumba jangu monapita.’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.’

25Henu ekikelabuka nukuketane nyumba apyagi sapi nukubeka kilasindu sapi.On its return, it finds the house swept clean and put in order.

26Ndienu kijenda kujuku hilombu yengi saba yeibi na makili kuliku sombi. Nayoti hijenda nukunzingi mundu we jola. Henu hali jaka mundu we jikuba jiliha kuliku pajatumbuka.”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 pajwabia jupwaga majambu haga, mmbomba jumwa kuhumaa munsambi we gola japwaga Yesu, “Mbanga mmbomba jojugubeliki nukukujoha!”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!”

28Lakini Yesu japwaga, “Lakini mbanga ngani bandu babilijone lilobi laka Sapanga nukulijetake.”But He replied, “Blessed rather are those who hear the word of God and obey it.”

29Nsambi wa bandu egwabiya guendale kujonzukeka, Yesu jaendaliya kwaapwagi, “Kibeleku senze sa bandu banamahakau kipala nginyuli. Ngakipati nginyuli jokapi ila nginyuli jaka Yona jela.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.

30Ngati Yona ejabi nginyuli kwa bandu buku Ninawi, ndi Mwana waka Mundu ejibiya nginyuli kwa bandu bikibeleku senze.For as Jonah was a sign to the Ninevites, so the Son of Man will be a sign to this generation.

31Lisoba lu kutemu, Malikia juku Sheba jihika nukupwa bandu bikibeleku senze abii na mahakau, ndaba jombi ja huma kundema jaki nukuhika kujowane mabole gana malangu gaka Bambu Nkolongu Solomoni, lakini pamba jubii mundu nkolongu kupeta Selemani.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.

32Mulisoba lu kutemu bandu, bandu buku Ninawi bijema nukupwaga bandu bikibeleku senze abii na mahakau, ndaba bombi balekakiya mahakau gabu hebajogwana pee malandi gaka Yona.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“Nga mundu jojupambaki taa nu kujiyekale au kuiya nikitonga, lakini jujibeka pikipanda ili bandu baajingi nkati bugubona unang'anu.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.

34Liu laku ndi taa ja nhyega jaku. Ana liu laku libii sapi, nhyega jaku joha jikuba na unang'anu. Lakini ana liu laku libii lyaa, nhyega jaku joka jitwelila lwii.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.

35Henu ulilenda, unang'anu gogubii nhyega jaku ili gwiikuba na lwii.Be careful, then, that the light within you is not darkness.

36Ndienu, nhyega jaku joka najitweli unang'anu, ana ngakuba pandu pokapi papabii na lwii nhyega joka jiitenda kunang'ana ngati taa ejinang'ana na unang'anu waki.”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 ejajomula kulongela, Mfalisayu jumwa ankoka Yesu kula posu ku nyumba jaki. Ndienu Yesu jajingala nkati jatama nakula posu.As Jesus was speaking, a Pharisee invited Him to dine with him; so He went in and reclined at the table.

38Mfalisayu jola jasangii kumbona Yesu jukula posu bila kusamba maboku.But the Pharisee was surprised to see that Jesus did not first wash before the meal.

39Ndi Bambu jaapwagila, “Mmbanganya mwaka, Afalisayu nngolo nnzipuli na sahani kunza, lakini nkati ja mioju jino jitweli ndokule ja wii nu ubaya.Then the Lord said, “Now you Pharisees clean the outside of the cup and dish, but inside you are full of greed and wickedness.

40Mmbanganya ngasembi na malango! Boo Sapanga jojundenganaki kunza ngalee ndi jojundenganaki nuukate?You fools! Did not the One who made the outside make the inside as well?

41Henu mwapekia ahagu hindu yeibii nkati ja mioju jii na kila sindu kwinu kiibia sapi palongi jaka Sapanga.But give as alms the things that are within you, and behold, everything will be clean for you.

42“Lakini musi mukiboni mwaka Mafalisayu! Ndaba mwaajopa bandu zaka hata manyoi gaganungi nunsisa nakila aina jilikolu, lakini ngasempala kwaatende bandu majambu ga sapi palongi jaka Sapanga na nkotoka kumpala Sapanga. Kutaki kuba hoti mwabandu baamboni bila kugaleka gangiaga.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“Musimukiboni mwaka Afalisayu! Ndaba mpala kutama hiteu yeibii palongi munyumba jukuketangane Ayaudi, nukundamu kwi hisima kugulihu.Woe to you Pharisees! For you love the chief seats in the synagogues and the greetings in the marketplaces.

44Musimukiboni! Ndaba mmbi ngati matenge gagilihihiki, na bandu apeta panani bila mwabeti kumanya.”Woe to you! For you are like unmarked graves, which men walk over without even noticing.”

45Mmbola jumu jwa Malagalaki ampwagila, “Mbola, egulonge hela gututondo kabee natwenga!”One of the experts in the law told Him, “Teacher, when You say these things, You insult us as well.”

46Yesu jaapwagila, “Musimukiboni na mwanganya mwabola bamalagalaki! Ndaba mwatweka bandu misigu jejitopiki janga kutotoleka, koni mwabee ngasennyosa hata maboku gino kwajangati.“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.

47Musimukiboni, ndaba mwasenge matenge alota baka Sapanga babakomika na aseja bino.Woe to you! For you build tombs for the prophets, but it was your fathers who killed them.

48Mwanganya mwabee mwagabweni nuku jezetake goha gabahenga aka aseja binu ndaba bombi baakoma alota baka Sapanga, nananu nsengale matenge gabu.So you are witnesses consenting to the deeds of your fathers: They killed the prophets, and you build their tombs.

49Henu malobi gasapi gaka Sapanga gapwaga ana, ‘Naatuma alota baka Sapanga na atumisi, lakini bangi biitenda kaakoma na bangi kwaang'alisa.’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.’

50Henu bandu bikiibeleku senze sipata azabu ndaba jakakoma alota baka Sapanga boka tangu kutumbuka nndema,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,

51tumbuka kukomeka kwaka Abeli mbaka kukomeka kwaka Zakalia, jobukoma pikilanda ja mesa jukupiiki litambiku na pandu pa sapi. Sakaka numpwaji kibeleku senze bitenda kukitemu kwa majambu goti haga.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“Musimukiboni mwaabola bamalagalaki mbanganya! Ndaba nhihiki upunguu gukuelewa. Mwabe ngasennzingi na mwaapengali bandu baapala kujingi!”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.”

53Yesu ejaboka pala, Mafalisayu na abola ba Malagalaki batumbuliya kumpenga sukundaluki maswali gingi,As Jesus went on from there, the scribes and Pharisees began to oppose Him bitterly and to ply Him with questions about many things,

54ili bunkamula kwa sindu sokapi sejiilongila.waiting to catch Him in something He might say.
