Luke 11 (NWW) · Opened

1Linjubha limu Yesu kakibhegha kumoo kumo pakinnyupa Chapanga. Pakayomolite kuyupa, yumoo ywa ahundwa bhake kakinng'ombela, “Bambo, tungughuyupa ghutuhunde kunnyupa Chapanga, handa bhula Yohane pakaahundite ahundwa bhake.”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 kakiaghombela, “Pammegha mukunnyupa Chapanga nnongele naha, ‘Tate, ghwetu ghuubheghite kunani lihina lyako lihokamilwe, Ghubhutwa ghwako ghuhike.So Jesus told them, “When you pray, say: ‘Father, hallowed be Your name. Your kingdom come.

3Ghutupeghe nalelo hilyo hyetu hya kila linjubha.Give us each day our daily bread.

4Gutulekekehe ulemwa ghwetu, kiyaha twenga tungualekekeha bhoha bhaatutendela uhokelo. Na ghukotoke kutuyingila mumang'eho.’ ”And forgive us our sins, for we also forgive everyone who sins against us. And lead us not into temptation.’”

5Mbole Yesu kakiaghombela ahundwa bhake, “Tulongele yumoo ywenu ywakabheghite na nng'anja ghwake, na kakighenda ku lubhagha lwake pakilo, kakanng'ombele, ‘Ghanja, nje ghunnyahikile mangate mandatu chonde!Then Jesus said to them, “Suppose one of you goes to his friend at midnight and says, ‘Friend, lend me three loaves of bread,

6Kiyaha nng'anja ghwangu kanhikila pakibha mu mwanja ghwake na nenga mmegha nakyo ng'obhe kya kunpegha.’because a friend of mine has come to me on a journey, and I have nothing to set before him.’

7Naywo nge kakannyangule kakali mu nyumba, ‘Ghukotoke kunng'aha ndata kala nlyango. Nenga na bhana bhangu tughonja kala ndayumuka ng'obhe kukupegha kilibhi.’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.’

8Kulyaghila, nunguaghombela, mundu aywo katayumuka ng'obhe kunpegha aywo mangate kiyaha ndo ghanja ghwake, peni kiyaha yula mundu kaabhona ng'obhe honi, kughendelela kuyupa hinu aywo mundu katayimuka na kunpegha kilibhi kyohele kyakakipalite.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.

9Hinu ningubhaghombela, nnyupe na mwenga maakamuhwa, npalahe na mwenga matabhona, makatite hodi na mwenga maayughulighwa.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.

10Kiyaha ywohele yunakuyupa kaakamuhwa yunakupalaha kaabhona na yula yunakutite hodi kaahughulighwa.For everyone who asks receives; he who seeks finds; and to him who knocks, the door will be opened.

11Bhuli, kabhegha ywohele mu mwenga ywene mwana ghwake pakannyupite homba, kaanpegha liyoka kihyengo kya homba?What father among you, if his son asks for a fish, will give him a snake instead?

12Ebu pakannyupa lihumbi kaanpegha kipinini?Or if he asks for an egg, will give him a scorpion?

13Mwenga mabhandu bha mahakataho, mungumanya kuapeha bhana bhenu hilibhi hya maha, yabhegha bhuli kwa Tate ghwenu ghwa kunani katabhapegha ng'obhe mwenga Nhuki ghwake mwene Chapanga bhala bhaannyupa?”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!”

14Hinu Yesu kakibhegha mu kulibhuha lindilu kuhuma kwa mundu ywanga kughomba. Lila lindilu pakammukite yula mundu ywanga kughomba kamu kakiyanda kuyobhela, nalo lumati lwa bhandu lukikangacha.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,

15Peni amoo bhandu bhakilongela, “Kangughabhuha mandilu kwa makakala ghakakamuhitwe na Belisebuli, yula kilongohi ghwa mandilu.”but some of them said, “It is by Beelzebul, the prince of the demons, that He drives out demons.”

16Bhandu bhangi bhakinng'eha kwa kunpala kakatende naho kuhuma kunani kwa Chapanga, kubhoneha kukita kakiteghekwa na Chapanga.And others tested Him by demanding a sign from heaven.

17Yesu pakimanya mahwacho ghabhe, kakiaghombela, “Ghubhutwa ghwohele ghunakumetukana himati himati hinakupingikihana ghwakanjaghanika, ubhwabhu abhu lubhagha lwoheli luubheghite na bhulwa lwa pwilinganika.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.

18Handa ghubhutwa ghwa Nchipila naghwo ghungulikan ghwene, utabhala ghwabhe ghwatengeleheka bhuli? Nungubhaghombela naha mwenga kiyaha mwenga mungulongela kukita nungughabhingabhinga mandilu kwa makakala gha Belisebuli.If Satan is divided against himself, how can his kingdom stand? After all, you say that I drive out demons by Beelzebul.

19Hinu, handa nenga nungughabhuha mandilu kwa makakala gha Belisebuli, hata ahundwa bhenu ubhwabhu angughabhuha kwa makakala ghake hinu ahundwa bhenu bhaadumula nongwa ayi ya nenga na mwenga kukita mmegha tela ng'obhe.And if I drive out demons by Beelzebul, by whom do your sons drive them out? So then, they will be your judges.

20Peni handa nenga nungughabhuha mandilu kwa makakala gha Chapanga, nmanyi kukita Ghubhutwa ghwa Chapanga ghubhahikila.”But if I drive out demons by the finger of God, then the kingdom of God has come upon you.

21“Mundu yuna makakala pakakamula mikoha kulukingika lubhagha lyake, ghoha ghakabheghite naghwo ghaabhegha muuhihimilo.When a strong man, fully armed, guards his house, his possessions are secure.

22Peni pakahika mundu yuna makakala kupitingana kwa yombe aywo katanpukila na kuntuta na kunhotola mbole katanpoka mikoha yake hyoha yakayidumbilite na kuyitola hilibhi hyaki hyoha.”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 ywohele ywanga kubhegha papamu na nenga, kagumbingikiha, na ywohele ywa nga kukongoha papamu na nenga, kangupwilinganya.”He who is not with Me is against Me, and he who does not gather with Me scatters.

24“Lindilu pakammuka mundu, kataghenda kuuyumu kupalaha pa kupumulila, peni handa kapabhona ng'obhe katalongela, ‘Ndabhuya ku kitutubhi kyangu kunhumite.’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.’

25Paabhuya na kukibhona kila kitutubhi kipyaghilwa na kulembwa maha,On its return, it finds the house swept clean and put in order.

26ndo kataghenda na kughatola mandilu ghangi nhano na abhili ahakata kupitingana kwa mwene nabho bhaayingila na kutama amwo. Ku uhiko njimba ya yula mundu yabhegha tepatepa kupitingana kya ulongohi.”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 pakabheghite mu kulongela agha, nndala yumo ywakabheghite pakati ya lula lumati kakikweha lilobhe pakilongela, “Kanonelwa nndala ywakakupapite na kukunyongeha!”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!”

28Yesu kakinnyanga, “Peni bhanonelwa muno bhala bhaaliyihwa lilagho lya Chapanga na kuliyitikila.”But He replied, “Blessed rather are those who hear the word of God and obey it.”

29Lumati lwa bhandu palubheghite mu kuyonjokeheka, Yesu kakighendelela kuaghombela, “Aki ndo kibheleko kya uhakata, kingupalaha naho peni kya kamuhwa ng'obhe naho yohele ngati nga yila ya 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.

30Kiyaha handa bhula Yona pakabheghite naho kwa bhandu bha Ninawi, ubhwabhu abhu Mwana ghwa Mundu kaabhegha naho kwa kibheleko aki.For as Jonah was a sign to the Ninevites, so the Son of Man will be a sign to this generation.

31Linjubha lya toso mutwa nndala ghwa Kusi katayima papamu na bhandu bha kibheleko aki, naywo pakiyimiha uhokelo ghwa kibheleko aki, kiyaha mwene kakibhegha mumwanja kuhuma kutali kahike kughayihwa malango gha Sulemani. Peni apa mmegha nkulu kupitingana 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.

32Linjubha lya toso, bhandu bha Ninawi bhaayima papamu na kibheleko aki na kubhoneha kukita kibheleko aki kihakata, kiyaha bhene bhakilipetula paannyihwite Yona pakilandamiha. Peni apa mmegha nkulu kupitingana 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“Kahone mundu ywakakwatiti limbamba na kulihiha ebu kuligubika na nkambo, maha bhangulibhika pakinyuta kyake ngati bhandu bhoha bhalubhone lung'ali.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.

34Liho ndo limbamba lya mmili ghwako. Handa liho lyako lingubhona tela, mmili ghwako ghwoha ghwabhegha mu lung'ali. Peni handa liho lyako libhoho, mmili ghwako ghwoha ghwabhegha mu lubhindu.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.

35Hinu, ghulilolekee, lung'ali lughubheghite mu ghwenga ghukotoke kubhegha lubhindu.Be careful, then, that the light within you is not darkness.

36Hinu, handa mmili ghwako ghwoha ghukwila lung'ali, kya nga kipalamande kiibheghite mu lubhindu, ndo mmili aghwo ghwang'aliha tela handa bhula limbamba mulughung'aliha kwa lung'ali lwake.”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 pakayomolite kuyobhela, nfalisayo yumu kakinnyupa Yesu kaghende kulubhagha lwake kwa kya hilyo. Yesu kakiyingila na kutama na kulyegha.As Jesus was speaking, a Pharisee invited Him to dine with him; so He went in and reclined at the table.

38Yula Nfalisayo kakikangacha kukita Yesu kakikuha ng'obhe mabhoko ghake kukali na kulyegha hilyo, handa payibheghite hitohe yabhe.But the Pharisee was surprised to see that Jesus did not first wash before the meal.

39Ndo Bambo kaking'ombela, “Mwenga makaafalisayo mungughulula nnobho na kipumbulu kya panje, peni mu mwenga yimema bhulwa na uhakata.Then the Lord said, “Now you Pharisees clean the outside of the cup and dish, but inside you are full of greed and wickedness.

40Mwenga ahila mahala! Mungumanya ng'obhe kukita Chapanga ywakabhumbite panje ndo aywo aywo ywakabhumbite nkati?You fools! Did not the One who made the outside make the inside as well?

41Hinu, handa pamuapegha makapukwa himuyibheghite naywo, na hilibhi hyoha yimuyitendite yabhegha nyanyi kwa Chapanga.”But give as alms the things that are within you, and behold, everything will be clean for you.

42“Peni yaabhegha mipinguhi ya kyabhuli kwa mwenga Makaafalisayo kiyaha mungunpegha Chapanga kimati kya mbinda mabhoko yimo kwa manyahi gha midadangala, na mahambanyungu na makolo gha manyahi matangalo, kangi munguakuluha bhandu na mungunpala ng'obhe Chapanga. Yinguanogha kuyilolekeha huti mihalo aywo kyanga kughabhaya na ghala ghangi ghaannogheha Chapanga.”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“Ghwaabhegha npinguhi ghwa kyabhuli kwa mwenga Makaafalisayo, kiyaha mwenga mungupala kutama mu hiteho hya kuulongolo pakuhokamilwa mu hitutubhi hya kukonganila, na kulamuhwa kwa kuhokamilwa mu ulongolo ghwa bhandu.Woe to you Pharisees! For you love the chief seats in the synagogues and the greetings in the marketplaces.

44Gwaabhegha npinguhi ghwa kyabuli kwa mwenga Makaafalisayo, kiyaha mwenga ndo handa mandogholo gha nga matumbila, ghene bhandu bhangughalibhata kya nga kumanya.”Woe to you! For you are like unmarked graves, which men walk over without even noticing.”

45Nhunda yumo ghwa malaghilo kakinnyanga pakilongela, “Pa ghulongela mihalo ayi ghungutuligha na twenga ubhwabhu.”One of the experts in the law told Him, “Teacher, when You say these things, You insult us as well.”

46Yesu kakinnyanga, “Ghwabhegha npinguhi ghwakyabhuli kwa mwenga ahunda bha malaghilo kiyaha munguapapiha bhandu mihigho ya nga kuhotola kuyitola, na mwenga mungubhatangatila ng'obhe nga kwa kuyinula kikonji.“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.

47Gwaabhegha npinguhi ghwa kyabhuli kwa mwenga, kiyaha munguachengela mandogholo ambuye bha Chapanga bha akomitwe na atate bhenu.Woe to you! For you build tombs for the prophets, but it was your fathers who killed them.

48Hinu, mwenga ndo ayimiho na munguyitikila ndendelo ya aghohi bhenu, kiyaha bhene bhakiakoma abho ambuye bha Chapanga na mwenga munguchengela mandogholo ghabhe.So you are witnesses consenting to the deeds of your fathers: They killed the prophets, and you build their tombs.

49Hinu, Chapanga kakilongela naha mu malango ghake, ‘Ndabhayeghela ambuye na andumitumi, peni amoo bhangi mabhakoma na bhangi mamubhabamanda.’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.’

50Hinu kibheleko aki kyaatoswa kwakya mwahi ghwa ambuye bhoha bha Chapanga bhaakomitwe kutandila kuyimikwa kwa nnima aghu.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,

51Kutandila mwahi ghwa Abeli mbaka Sakalia, ywakakomitwe pakati ya likuta na pakya Chapanga Mukitutubhi kya Chapanga. Kulyaghila nunguaghombela, kibheleko aki kyaatoswa kwa kya agho ghoha.”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“Ghwaabhegha npinguhi ghwa kyabhuli kwa mwenga ahunda ghwa malaghilo, kiyaha mungukibhua kihughulo kya nlyango ghwa mahala gha kunmanya Chapanga. Mabhene munguyingila ng'obhe na bhala bha apalite kuyingila munguakanikiha.”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 pakabheghite mukubhuka akwo, ahunda bha malaghilo na Akaafalisayo bhakiyanda kunpingikiha muno na kunnyuka kwa ngonyo tangalo,As Jesus went on from there, the scribes and Pharisees began to oppose Him bitterly and to ply Him with questions about many things,

54apati kuntyegha na kunkamula pakilongela kyohele kihakata.waiting to catch Him in something He might say.
