Luke 6 (NKN) · Opened

1Ha litangua limo lia Sapalalo Yesu na vandongisi vendi vakele nakuhita mu mehia a tiliku. Vandongisi vendi vaputukile kushututozola mitue ya tiliku, vaitsenene mu mavoko avo, kaha valile vinona.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.

2Kaha Vafaliseo vamo vakele kuje vavehuile nguavo, “Omo vika mulinakulingila evi kuvekulinga ha litangua lia Sapalalo kuya mu Lishiko lia Mosesa?”But some of the Pharisees asked, “Why are you doing what is unlawful on the Sabbath?”

3Yesu uavakumbuluile nguendi, “Nkuma kanda mutande vije vialingile Ndaviti na vaje vakele hamo nendi omo vazivile njala ndi?Jesus replied, “Have you not read what David did when he and his companions were hungry?

4Uakovelele mu njivo ya Muene Njambi, kasasendote uamuhanene lisesa lia kunona ije mbolo ivakombelele kuli Njambi, ualile, na kuhanako naua vantu vendi. Mbolo ije kuyapandele ku ilia kuli muntu uoshe kuvanga tusasendote lika.”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.”

5Kaha Yesu uamanesele nguendi, “Muna Muntu ikeye Muene ua Litangua lia Sapalalo.”Then Jesus declared, “The Son of Man is Lord of the Sabbath.”

6Ha litangua lia Sapalalo likuavo Yesu uakovelele mu njivo ya malombelo, kaha ualongesele. Muakele yala umo uakusekua livoko lia cilio.On another Sabbath Jesus entered the synagogue and was teaching, and a man was there whose right hand was withered.

7Kaha valongisi va mezi a Lishiko lia Mosesa na Vafaliseo vamo vatondele kashuilo hali Yesu linga vamu uaneneho mulonga, nankuma, vamutalele ntoma muyehi yehi linga vamone nga ikeye akanguisa uje muntu ha litangua lia Sapalalo.Looking for a reason to accuse Jesus, the scribes and Pharisees were watching Him closely to see if He would heal on the Sabbath.

8Vuno honi Yesu uazivukile viyongola viavo, kaha uahandekele kuli uje yala uakusekua livoko nguendi, “Katuka uije hano hhakati.” Kaha uje yala uakatukile uemanene mukati.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.

9Nankuma, Yesu uahandekele kuli vakevo nguendi, “Njimihula nguange, cuma muka vanatutavesa ha Lishiko lietu kucilinga ha litangua lia Sapalalo? Kupanga viacili indi kupanga viavipi? Kuamena muono ua muntu indi kuunongesa?”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?”

10Uatalele kuli vakevo voshe noku noku, kaha uahandekele kuli uje yala nguendi, “Olola livoko liove.” Uoluele livoko liendi, kaha liakangukile.And after looking around at all of them, He said to the man, “Stretch out your hand.” He did so, and it was restored.

11Ha cuma eci valongisi va mezi a Lishiko lia Mosesa na Vafaliseo vakele na matoto, kaha valihandekesele hhakati kavo vivapandele kulinga kuli Yesu.But the scribes and Pharisees were filled with rage and began to discuss with one another what they might do to Jesus.

12Ha ntsimbu ije Yesu ualondele ku munkinda na kulombela, kaha uakele nakulombela vutsiki vuoshe kuli Njambi.In those days Jesus went out to the mountain to pray, and He spent the night in prayer to God.

13Omo litangua liatuhukile, kaha uasanene vandongisi vendi linga veje kuli ikeye, kaha uahanguileho likumi na vavali hhakati kavo, vaje vatumbuile tunganda.When daylight came, He called His disciples to Him and chose twelve of them, whom He also designated as apostles:

14Aua akeuo mazina avo: Simoni uje yalukile Petulu na munaina Anduleo, Yakomba na Iuano, Filipu na Mbatolomeo,Simon, whom He named Peter, and his brother Andrew; James and John; Philip and Bartholomew;

15Mateu na Tomasi, Yakomba muna Alufeya, na Simoni (uje ivatumbuile “Zelote.”)Matthew and Thomas; James son of Alphaeus and Simon called the Zealot;

16Yundasa muna Yakomba, na Yundasa Sakaliote uje uamuendele vungungu.Judas son of James, and Judas Iscariot, who became a traitor.

17Yesu na vandongisi vendi vahumine ku munkinda kaha vemanene ku mutambela uaku jalamanena. Na civunga ceka cakama ca vandongisi vakele kuje nakumuvandamena. Naua civunga cakama ca vantu cahumine ku Yundeya kuoshe na ku Yelusalema, naku vimbonge via ku cikuma ca Tile na ku Sindone.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.

18Vezile nakumuvuilila na kuvakanguisa ku mishongo yavo. Voshe vaje vakele nakuyanda na vimbembesi via kujuala vezile, kaha uavakanguisile.They had come to hear Him and to be healed of their diseases, and those troubled by unclean spirits were healed.

19Kaha civunga coshe ca vantu vesekele kumukambeka mavoko, omuo nzili yahumine kuli ikeye na kuvakanguisa voshe.The entire crowd was trying to touch Him, because power was coming from Him and healing them all.

20Yesu uatalele vandongisi vendi, kaha uahandekele nguendi, “Muavezika yeni vaka kuhutua, omuo Vumuene vua Njambi vunapu vueni!”Looking up at His disciples, Jesus said: “Blessed are you who are poor, for yours is the kingdom of God.

21“Muavezika yeni muli na njala vuavuno, omuo mukakuta!” “Muavezika yeni mulinakulila vuavuno, omuo mukajolelela!”Blessed are you who hunger now, for you will be filled. Blessed are you who weep now, for you will laugh.

22“Muavezika omuo vantu vamizinda na kumiviana na kumishaula na kumitumbula nguavo muva vapi, vioshe evi omuo mukavangeya Muna Muntu!”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.

23Joleleni omo eci cilingiua, kineni na kujolela, omuo Njambi namivuahesela cikandelela ceni cakama muilu. Omuo vakuluntu vavo valingile ngacije kuli tunanguizi va Njambi va Njambi.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“Vuno honi tuyando kuli yeni munafuku laja, omuo muatambula laja kuyoya kuacili!”But woe to you who are rich, for you have already received your comfort.

25“Tuyando tueni yeni munakuta vuavuno, omuo mukaziva njala!” “Tuyando tueni yeni muli nakujolela, omuo muka pihilila na kulila!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“Tuyando tueni omuo vantu voshe vali nakumishangazala, omuo vakuluntu vavo valingile ngacije kuli tunanguizi va Njambi va makuli.Woe to you when all men speak well of you, for their fathers treated the false prophets in the same way.

27“Vuno honi njimileka yeni vaka kunjitolilila nguange, zangeni vitozi veni, lingeni muacili kuli vaje vamizinda,But to those of you who will listen, I say: Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you,

28vezikiseni vaje vamisinga, kaha lombeleleni vaje vali nakumiyandesa.bless those who curse you, pray for those who mistreat you.

29Nga muntu akupupa ku litama limo, kaha mutenguluile akupupe ku litama likuavo naua, nga muntu akunieka kazaku kove, muhane naua na cikovelo cove.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.

30Muntu uje amilomba muhaneni cuma cije canamilombo, omo muntu ambata cuma cove, kaha keti ucihule naua.Give to everyone who asks you, and if anyone takes what is yours, do not demand it back.

31Viuma vioshe vimutonda ngeci vakueni vamilingilevio, mukemuo vene, neni naua valingilenavio.Do to others as you would have them do to you.

32“Nga muzanga lika vaje vamizanga, vikahoni mutambuila vishangalo? Cipue vaka vipi vakazanga vaka kuvazanga!If you love those who love you, what credit is that to you? Even sinners love those who love them.

33Nga mulinga lika muacili kuli vaje vakamilingi muacili, vikahoni mutambuila vishangalo? Cipue vaka vupi mukemuo muvakalingi!If you do good to those who do good to you, what credit is that to you? Even sinners do the same.

34Nga mukumuisa lika vaje muavandamena ngueni vamihiluisila, vikahoni mutambuila vishangalo? Cipue vaka vupi naua vakalikumuisa, linga vatambule ngue muje muvanahana.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.

35Vuno honi zangeni vitozi veni, kaha lingeni muacili kuli vakevo, vakumuiseni vuno honi keti muvandamene ngueni mukavitambula naua. Kaha cikandelela ceni cikapua cakama, mukapua vana va Njambi ua Helu lia Helu. Omuo ikeye akevuila ngozi vaje kuvekumukandelela na vaje vaka vupi.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.

36Pueni vaka cikeketima ngue Ishueni uapua muka cikeketima.Be merciful, just as your Father is merciful.

37“Keti muhise, kuteua neni vakamihisa, keti mupaye, kuteua neni vakamipaya, sambeseni, kaha neni vakamisambesa.Do not judge, and you will not be judged. Do not condemn, and you will not be condemned. Forgive, and you will be forgiven.

38Haneni, kaha neni vakamihana. Cikapua nge muka kulandesa uje akuhana seteko ya vinona, akaizindangeya nakui niekumuna kaha akashulilisaho cikuma noho ishulisa muvimbango via cisetekelo na kumuanianga kaha honi akakuhanavio vioshe. Seteko ije museteka nayo vakueni, ikeyo naua vakamiseteka nayo.”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.”

39Kaha Yesu uavatelele cisimo eci nguendi, “Kapuputua umo kasa kutuamenena kapuputua mukuavo, nga alingamo voshe vavali vakauila mucina.Jesus also told them a parable: “Can a blind man lead a blind man? Will they not both fall into a pit?

40Kukuesi ndongisi atuvakana mulongisi uendi vuno honi ndongisi uoshe, omo namanesa kulilongesa cendi, ikeye naua akapua hamo na mulongisi uendi.A disciple is not above his teacher, but everyone who is fully trained will be like his teacher.

41“Vikahoni umona kacishoni kali ha lisho lia mukueni, vuno honi ku uyongola mukambo uli mulisho liove?Why do you look at the speck in your brother’s eye but fail to notice the beam in your own eye?

42Vatihoni uhandeka na mukueni nguove, ‘Mukuetu, teua njikuhumise kacishoni kali ha lisho liove,’ omo yove uli na mukambo mu lisho liove? Ove muka civembulu! Ha kulivanga humisa mukambo uli mu lisho liove, kaha umone muacili hakuhumisa kacishoni kali ha lisho lia mukueni.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“Muti uacili kuuasa kuima vushuka vuavupi, cipue muti uaupi kuuasa kuima vushuka vuacili.No good tree bears bad fruit, nor does a bad tree bear good fruit.

44Muti uoshe vauzivukila ku vushuka vuauo, omuo kuuasa kuhela vushuka vua mukuyu na mikolovozi ya viniu ku muti ua mambimbo.For each tree is known by its own fruit. Indeed, figs are not gathered from thornbushes, nor grapes from brambles.

45Muntu uacili ikeye muka kusholola viuma via viacili via ku mutima uendi, muntu ua mupi akasholola viuma viavipi via ku mutima uendi omuo kanua kakahandeka vije viashula mu mutima.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“Vika munjitumbuila ngueni, ‘Muene, Muene’, vuno honi kumulingi vinjimileka?Why do you call Me ‘Lord, Lord,’ but do not do what I say?

47Njimileka cifua cendi uoshe uje eja kuli yange na kuvuilila mezi ange na kuuononoka.I will show you what he is like who comes to Me and hears My words and acts on them:

48Napu ngue yala uakutungila njivo yendi, uahindile nakulovesa luvula ha livue. Livazi liezile liapupile kuje ku njivo, vuno honi kuyaningangele, omuo luvula luaije njivo luakele ha livue.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.

49Vuno honi uoshe aziva mezi ange kuakuhona kuuononoka napu ngue yala uatungile njivo yendi kuakuhona kuhinda luvula. Omo livazi liapupile kuje ku njivo, kaha yasiukile hajevene, kuua kuayo kuapuile kuakupi cikuma!”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!”
