Luke 11 (MPA) · Opened

1Lichobha limu Yesu akabhi pandu pamu akundobha Chapanga. Paakajomwi kulobha, mbulwa waki jumu akumpwaghile, “Bambo, utubhola kulobha, ngati Yohana moakabhabholi bhabhulwa bhaki.”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 akabhapwaghile, “Pamundobha Chapanga, mpwagha ana, ‘Atati witu weubhi kunani kumahunde, Lihina laku lilumbalikaje, Ukolongwa waku uhikaje, mapalu ghaku ghapitalyaje, pani pundema, ngati kunani kumahunde.So Jesus told them, “When you pray, say: ‘Father, hallowed be Your name. Your kingdom come.

3Utupekya chilebhi chitu cha kila lichobha.Give us each day our daily bread.

4Utulekakya mahoku ghitu, Ngati tepani motubhalekalela bhokapi bhabhatuhokiye. Na ngawatuleka kujingila mu malengakeku, nambu utukengalya na Muhakau jola.’ ”And forgive us our sins, for we also forgive everyone who sins against us. And lead us not into temptation.’”

5Bhela Yesu akabhapwaghi bhabhulwa bhaki, “Tupwagha jumu winu ajenda pamahiku kunyumba jaka nkochi waki na kupwagha, ‘Nkochi wangu, unyahika mabumunda ghatatu.Then Jesus said to them, “Suppose one of you goes to his friend at midnight and says, ‘Friend, lend me three loaves of bread,

6Ndandi nkochi wangu ahikiki kwangu kuhuma mu mwanja, nanatu ngachemi na chilebhi cha kumpekeha!’because a friend of mine has come to me on a journey, and I have nothing to set before him.’

7Na tupwagha nkochi joabhi munyumba akayanga, ‘Ngawing'aha! Ndyangu ujighalike, nepani na bhana bhangu tughonile. Ngachenhweza kujumuka na kukupeke chokapi.’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.’

8Chakaka numpwaghila, hata ngati ngaayijumuki na kukupeke chilebhi hata koni wehapa unkochi waki, nambu kwa ndandi ja kujendale kunjopa, ayijumukaji na kumpeke kila chindu cheapala maghambu ngacheakabhi na iyoni kujendale kunjopa.”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.

9Bhela numpwaghila, “Ndobhaje nanamu anampataje, mlondaye nanamu mwipataje, muhodimaje nanamu mwihoghuliwa ndyangu.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.

10Ndandi mundu jokapi joalobha ayijopalyaje, na mundu jokapi joalonda ayipataje, na mundu jokapi joahodima anahoghuliwa ndyangu.For everyone who asks receives; he who seeks finds; and to him who knocks, the door will be opened.

11Bho, Atati bholi pachilanda jinu joaweza kumpeke mwana waki liganga ngati anajopiki libumunda au anaanjopiki homba, na badala ja homba anaampekya lijoka?What father among you, if his son asks for a fish, will give him a snake instead?

12Au mwana anajopiki lihombi, anampekya chipelele?Or if he asks for an egg, will give him a scorpion?

13Ngati mwehapa mwembi mwahakau, mmanyi kubhapekeha hindu inayahi bhana bhinu, bho, Atati winu wa kunani kumahunde ngaapeke Roho Mhuhu bhokapi bhabhunjopa?”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!”

14Lichobha limu Yesu akabhi amboha lijobhi lelakuntendiki mundu jumu abya mpuli. Lijobhi lela palumbokiki mundu jola, akatumbwi kulongela, na lipogha la bhandu lakakangichi namaa.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,

15Nambu bhandu bhangi bhakapwaghike, “Aghabhoha majobhi kwa makili ghaka Beelizebuli, nkolongwa wa majobhi.”but some of them said, “It is by Beelzebul, the prince of the demons, that He drives out demons.”

16Bhandu bhangi kwa kundenga Yesu, bhakapaliki atenda nginyulila kuhuma kunani kumahunde.And others tested Him by demanding a sign from heaven.

17Nambu Yesu akaghamanyi maholalelu ghabhu, akabhapwaghile, “Ukolongwa wokapi woulekangini mapogha ghaghapengana ngauwezi kutamakila, bhelabhela bhandu bha nyumba jimu anabhapengana bheni kwa bheni, bhandu bha nyumba heji anabhalekanaje.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.

18Ngati ukolongwa waka Shetani ulekangini mapogha ghaghapengana, bho, ukolongwa waki wijema bhole? Numpwaghi aghagha ndandi mwanganya mpwagha nepani moha majobhi kwa makili ghaka Beelizebuli.If Satan is divided against himself, how can his kingdom stand? After all, you say that I drive out demons by Beelzebul.

19Ngati nepani moha majobhi kwa makili ghaka Beelizebuli, bho, bhahemba bhinu bhaghatopola kwa uwezu waka nane? Bhahemba bhinu anabhuntemula kubha mwanganya muhokihe!And if I drive out demons by Beelzebul, by whom do your sons drive them out? So then, they will be your judges.

20Nambu ngati anamoha majobhi kwa uwezu waka Chapanga, bhela Ukolongwa waka Chapanga unhikile.But if I drive out demons by the finger of God, then the kingdom of God has come upon you.

21“Mundu joabhi na makili, paalenda nyumba jaki kwa silaha, hindu yaki yokapi ikubha lukwale.When a strong man, fully armed, guards his house, his possessions are secure.

22Nambu anahiki mundu joabhi na makili kumpeta jombhi anakomini naku na kundapula, jonihoju anaanyaghula silaha jeahobhalyaje na kuighabha hindu yeanyawile.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 jwangakulilomba na nepani, atenda kumbenga, na mundu jokapi jwangakubhongana papamu na nepani, atenda kupechangana.He who is not with Me is against Me, and he who does not gather with Me scatters.

24“Lijobhi palumpita mundu, liyongolota yongolota pandu pajomu likalola pandu pa kupomulela. Nambu nangakupabhona pandu pa kupomulela, ajipwaghi, ‘Anangelebhuka kabhete kunyumba jangu konhumiki.’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.’

25Paakelabhuka na kujiketane nyumba jipyaghaliki na kupambakika wichu,On its return, it finds the house swept clean and put in order.

26bhela ajenda na kughaloha majobhi ghangi saba mahakau kupeta jombi, na ghombi ghajingila na kutama mkati jaka mundu hoju. Henu hali jaka mundu jola anajikubha jihakau nakanopi kupeta pakutumbula.”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 palongila ghanihagha, mbomba jumu joakabhi pa lipogha la bhandu pala akajamali na kupwagha, “Mbanga mbomba joakubheliki, na kukujongea!”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!”

28Nambu Yesu akamuyangiki, “Mbanga nakanopi bhabhalijowana Lilobhi laka Chapanga na kulitii.”But He replied, “Blessed rather are those who hear the word of God and obey it.”

29Lipogha la bhandu palajonjukiki, Yesu akabhapwaghile, “Chibheleku chenjenu nde chibheleku cha bhandu bhahakau. Chipala nginyulila, nambu ngachipati nginyuli jokapi jela, nambu nginyuli jaka Yona.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.

30Ndandi ngati mlota Yona moakabheli nginyulila kwa bhandu bha Ninawi, bhelabhela Mwana waka Mundu nde moayibhelila nginyulila kwa chibheleku chenjenu.For as Jonah was a sign to the Ninevites, so the Son of Man will be a sign to this generation.

31Lichobha la Utemulu, malikia wa ku Sheba anaajemaje na kubhatakila bhandu bha chibheleku chenjenu, maghambu jombi akahikiki kuhuma kutali nakanopi kuhika kujowane malobhi gha mbulau ghaka Nkolongwa Solomoni, henu numpwaghila, pambani abhi nkolongwa kupeta Solomoni.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.

32Mu Lichobha la Utemulu, bhandu bha ku Ninawi bhijema papamu na kubhatakila bhandu bha kibheleku chenjenu, maghambu bhombi bhakang'anambwiki na kughaleka mahoku ghabhu pabhajowini kutangaza kwaka Yona. Chakaka numpwaghila pambani abhi nkolongwa kupeta 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 joapambaki taa na kujihiya au kujiyekale na chihulu. Nambu bhajibheka panani ja kinala, nahuli bhandu bhokapi bhabhajingila bhabhona unang'anu waki.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.

34Lihu laku nde taa ja hyegha jaku. Ngati lihu laku analibhi linyahi, hyegha jaku jokapi jitweli unang'anu. Nambu ngati lihu laku ngalinyahi, hyegha jaku jitweli lwihe.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.

35Bhela ulilingalya wichu unang'anu waku ghoubhi naku mkati ja hyegha jaku ngawikubha lwihe.Be careful, then, that the light within you is not darkness.

36Bhela anakubhi hyegha jaku jokapi jibhi na unang'anu, panga kubha na pandu papabhi na lwihi, hyegha jaku jokapi anajibya na unang'anu, ngati taa mojikumulakila kwa 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 paajomula kupwagha, Mfalisayo jumu akundohiki ajenda kunyumba jaki akakula chilebhe. Bhela Yesu akajingili na kutama kula chilebhe.As Jesus was speaking, a Pharisee invited Him to dine with him; so He went in and reclined at the table.

38Mfalisayo jola akakangichi kumbona Yesu akula chilebhe mangane ja kuchamba machi mabhoku ghaki.But the Pharisee was surprised to see that Jesus did not first wash before the meal.

39Bhela Bambo akampwaghile, “Mwanganya Mwafalisayo, mwengolola chikombi na mbali kwa kunja, nambu mkati ntweli unyaghula na uhakau.Then the Lord said, “Now you Pharisees clean the outside of the cup and dish, but inside you are full of greed and wickedness.

40Mwanganya mwang'ang'a! Bho, nga Chapanga le joalenganaki kunja, na nde joalenganaki mkati?You fools! Did not the One who made the outside make the inside as well?

41Nambu mwajangatya bhahochu kwa hindu hinu, na yengi yokapi anaibya wichu kwinu.But give as alms the things that are within you, and behold, everything will be clean for you.

42“Nambu anamuchibhonaje Mafalisayo! Maghambu mumboke Chapanga zaka ya nchicha na imbogha yokapi ya mahamba, ngati nabwaka na makolu ghangi ghokapi, nambu nkotoka kubhahenge bhandu mambu ghaaghapala Chapanga, na nkotoka kumpala Chapanga. Ikampaliki kuhenga mambu ghamboni palongi jaka Chapanga na kumpala Chapanga, panga kughaleka ghangi hagha.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“Anamuchibhonaje Mwafalisayo! Ndandi mpala kutama itehu ya kutopela mu nyumba ja kuhimangani Bhayahude, na kulamukiwa kwa utopelu palighulio.Woe to you Pharisees! For you love the chief seats in the synagogues and the greetings in the marketplaces.

44Anamuchibhonaje! Maghambu mbi ngati matengeli ghangakubhonikana, ghaghu bhandu bhajenda panani jaki panga kumanya.”Woe to you! For you are like unmarked graves, which men walk over without even noticing.”

45Mbola jumu wa Shelia akupwaghile, “Mbola, paupwagha malobhi ghanihagha, bhelabhela ututondola na tepani.”One of the experts in the law told Him, “Teacher, when You say these things, You insult us as well.”

46Yesu akamuyangiki, “Na mwanganya bhabhola bha Shelia, anamuchibhonaje, maghambu mwatweka bhandu ibwahila yeitopike yanga kunyamulika, koni mwabheti ngachenhwatambu hata lukonji kubhajangati kunyamula.“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.

47Anamuchibhonaje! Maghambu nchengalela matengeli gha bhalota bhaka Chapanga bhala bhabhakomakiki na akahoko bhinu.Woe to you! For you build tombs for the prophets, but it was your fathers who killed them.

48Bhela mwanganya mabheti njetakela ghala ghabhakahengiki akahoko bhinu, bhombi bhakabhakomiki bhalota bhaka Chapanga, na mwanganya nchengale matengeli ghabhu.So you are witnesses consenting to the deeds of your fathers: They killed the prophets, and you build their tombs.

49Bhela Chapanga kwa malangu ghaki akapwaghiki, ‘Ananatuma kwabhu bhalota na bhatenga bhangu, nambu bhombi anabhakoma bhakumu bhabhu na bhangi kubhang'aha.’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.’

50Bhela bhandu bha kibheleku chenjenu bhitemulikaje kwa kupotela kwa bhalota bhokapi bhaka Chapanga bhabhakakomakiki kutumbu kubhombakeka kwa ndema,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,

51kutumbu kukomakeka kwaka Abeli mbaka kukomakeka kwaka Zakalia, joakomakiki pa chilanda ja chihanja cha nyambiku na Pandu Pahuhu. Ena, chakaka numpwaghila, bhandu bha kibheleku chenjenu bhitemulika kwa kubhakoma bhokapi habha.”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“Anamuchibhonaje mwanganya bhabhola bha Shelia! Maghambu muhiiki ufunguu wa kuhoghule ndyangu wa umanyi, mabhanganya mabheti ngachenjingi na mwahibhali bhandu bhabhajingi ngabhijingila!”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 paakabhi abhoka munyumba jaka Mfalifayu jola, bhabhola bha Shelia na Mafalisayo bhakatumbwi kuntumbula kwa kundalukila malobhi ghamahele,As Jesus went on from there, the scribes and Pharisees began to oppose Him bitterly and to ply Him with questions about many things,

54nahuli bhapata kunkamula kwa chindu chokapi cheayilongilaje.waiting to catch Him in something He might say.
