Luke 11 (PUU) · Opened

1Vamabe yilumbu, Djesu amasambilaange va mwa mbure. Anomane, wumosi mu badukitsi bandi amamuwivule rye: «Fumu, tulonzi wusambile Nzambi nane San amalonzile badukitsi bandi.»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.”

2Djesu akebawaghule rye: «Lanu, ave dusambililaange, vosanganu rye: “Tate etu, adjivu o djulu, dine dyaghu dibi disyeme, bukaghe bwaghu buruyi.So Jesus told them, “When you pray, say: ‘Father, hallowed be Your name. Your kingdom come.

3Tuveyi bighudji bi kadi yilumbu.Give us each day our daily bread.

4Tutandi mabi metu, nane twitandili djetu wandi abetuvayi mabi, wuyatusile mu dumangu.”»And forgive us our sins, for we also forgive everyone who sins against us. And lead us not into temptation.’”

5Djesu amamwébatsingule rye: «Payi mutu wumosi va ghari enu ane mbatsi, na eyimukokumune va ghari wisi, nomunengile: “Mbatsi ami, nzombisi mape maryeru,Then Jesus said to them, “Suppose one of you goes to his friend at midnight and says, ‘Friend, lend me three loaves of bread,

6mbatsi ami mosi amarughe o wulinge, na ngaane yime yumuveghe.”because a friend of mine has come to me on a journey, and I have nothing to set before him.’

7Ka yike mbatsi eni emuwaghuli o ghari ndaghu andi rye: “Sile menu, nyimadibighe ndaghu, menu na baane bami tumabundeme, ngobwésimbughe muyighuveghe mape.”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.’

8Nyidutsinguli, yike esimbuyi mu muveghe byotsu abi erondi, tsi mu yimbatsi ayivu va ghari owu, tumbe mumbari emuvondi na yiswebiri.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.

9Menu, nyidutsinguli bwé: Vondanu, na boduveghe; rombanu, na dubaghule; dukisanu na bodudibulile mune ndaghu.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.

10Mumbari, oyivondi, edili; oyirombi, ebaghuli; na bédibulili mune ndaghu ombu oyidukisi.For everyone who asks receives; he who seeks finds; and to him who knocks, the door will be opened.

11Payi mwane evondi nyame mambe, tadji nyi va ghari enu orungule umuveghe pili?What father among you, if his son asks for a fish, will give him a snake instead?

12Vo omuveghe kuru payi emuvondi dyaki?Or if he asks for an egg, will give him a scorpion?

13Babi nane djenu dwidjabi uveghe bime bi bwedji ombu baane benu, tambusu na Tadji enu adjivu o djulu, tsyeni aghoveyile Yinyuni Yisyeme ombu djowu abemuvondi?»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!”

14Djesu amasanze Yinyuni yibi ombu dibaale di dibabe. Yinyuni yeni yinopale, dibaale dyeni dikevose. Yinombu yi batu yikesutu yikebase na yinyunge.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,

15Tumbe bane bamavose rye: «Belesebule, yivunde yi binyuni bibi yimuveyi mangolu mosanze binyuni!»but some of them said, “It is by Beelzebul, the prince of the demons, that He drives out demons.”

16Bamosi, mu wélighe durumu dwandi, bamamuwivule yiri alasi yilimbe ayiruyili ombu Nzambi.And others tested Him by demanding a sign from heaven.

17Tumbe Djesu anodjabe matase mowu, amavose rye: «Bulongu bwotsu abu batu bétoyi djobeni na djobeni, butsyemughe, na mandaghu mowu merakuyi.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.

18Dwivosi yiri menu nyisanzi binyuni bibi na mangolu ma Belesebule. Payi ngenze Dyabu ekétoyise djabeni, mumbari yi bukaghe bwandi bubile buware?If Satan is divided against himself, how can his kingdom stand? After all, you say that I drive out demons by Beelzebul.

19Payi dwitasi yiri menu, nyibisanzi na mangolu ma Belesebule, ka baane benu abebisanzi wandi nane menu, mangolu mowu anyi ebaveyi? Baane ba djenubeni bodufundise!And if I drive out demons by Beelzebul, by whom do your sons drive them out? So then, they will be your judges.

20Tumbe, payi na mangolu ma Nzambi nyibisanzili, Bukaghe bu Nzambi buke va ghari enu.But if I drive out demons by the finger of God, then the kingdom of God has come upon you.

21Payi mutu mangolu na bitoghulu byandi, ekelisi ndaghu andi, busine bwandi bwotsu bukandu.When a strong man, fully armed, guards his house, his possessions are secure.

22Tumbe yikeveruyi mutu wumuvyoghulile mangolu, emubeti, emupatuli bitoghulu abi atsivayilaange yitu, eghabi byotsu abi mbé bikevu nandi.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.

23Awu agha nami, epini.He who is not with Me is against Me, and he who does not gather with Me scatters.

24«Ave Yinyuni yibive yipalili mu mutu, yiwendi mu mbure tsi wumughe mu rombe yitsanunu. Payi yighaayidile, yivosi rye: “Nyughabughe o ndaghu ami adji nyitsirambuyile.”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.’

25Eghabuyi, edjirasunu djimaghombulu, djimakunzu.On its return, it finds the house swept clean and put in order.

26Kaboghu yiwendi muyélande yisambwali yi binyuni abimuvyoghulile wubi. Béruyi va mosi, békoti mu ndaghu eni na bétsani. Na dighughe di mutu eni divyoghulili aditeghe.»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.”

27Djesu anomane uvose mambu meni, mughetu akeghamughe va ghari yinombu rye: «Ubwedji ombu mughetu omaghukelise o modji na omaghunwise!»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!”

28Djesu akemuwaghule rye: «Nesi, tumbe ubwedji ombu djowu abewulu mbembu Nzambi na bédjidedili nodjisalise!»But He replied, “Blessed rather are those who hear the word of God and obey it.”

29Yinombu yi batu yimarughesene pwele va wusu andi, akevose rye: «Batu ba temu édjidji babive, bévondi yilimbe yi yimaghe, tumbe yimaghe yi yubalasu, patsi yi mubiyitsi Sonase?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.

30Ngenze nane Sonase amabile yilimbe yi bise Ninive, anane Mwane Mutu obe yilimbe mu batu ba temu édjidji.For as Jonah was a sign to the Ninevites, so the Son of Man will be a sign to this generation.

31Mu yilumbu yi mufundu djulu, kaghe mughetu bise bande bulongu oreleme va wusu batu ba temu eni djidji, mu ubatabulile bunzonzi. Odisalise mumbari amarule o malongu ma vale mu uyiwulu malongi ma dyele di kaghe Salemu. Vave, vadji Mutu avyoghulile Salemu!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 yilumbu yi mufundu, bise Ninive boreleme va wusu batu ba temu eni djidji na boduveghe mbele, mumbari djowu bamakalughe dyele mu musamu Sonase!»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«Vagha mutu ebanzi paghe mu udjisweghe otsi ponzi vo otsi tangi, tumbe edjisunzi va djulu dingase mumbari botsu abokotaange bakelaba yidjalale.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.

34Disu dyaghu la lambi dunyuru dwaghu. Payi disu dyaghu dighebeli, dunyuru dwaghu dudji mu yidjalale. Tumbe payi disu dyaghu dibeli, dunyuru dwaghu dudji otsi piseme.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.

35Kaboghu kebene, yidjalale ayivu mu ndedju yikebe piseme.Be careful, then, that the light within you is not darkness.

36Payi dunyuru dwaghu dwotsu dudji mu yidjalale, ughaane mbure djivu otsi piseme, udji ndedju wotsu mu yidjalale, nane mwinde wighumonitsili na yidjalale yandi.»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.”

37Djesu anomane uvose, muFarisi wumosi akemunengile o udji o ndaghu andi. Djesu amakote akevyoghe va tavule.As Jesus was speaking, a Pharisee invited Him to dine with him; so He went in and reclined at the table.

38Anolabe bwena Djesu aghasuse makake ne akedji, muFarisi eni amakambulu.But the Pharisee was surprised to see that Jesus did not first wash before the meal.

39Kaboghu Fumu akemutsingule rye: «La nane duvu, djenu baFarisi, dwilyomisi yike yidju-djulu yi dimoyi na yi yipele, tumbe o ghari tsyenu, dubase na nzale udaghe na mambu mabive.Then the Lord said, “Now you Pharisees clean the outside of the cup and dish, but inside you are full of greed and wickedness.

40Biduke bi batu nane djenu! Omasale yidju-djulu, tsiri djandi amasale ghari wandi?You fools! Did not the One who made the outside make the inside as well?

41Kaboghu, diwelimine yiri duveghaange ombu bidjaghe byotsu abiwelimine mu bipele byenu, mbana menu motsu molyome.But give as alms the things that are within you, and behold, everything will be clean for you.

42Maghughe ombu djenu baFarisi dwiveyi ombu Nzambi yimosi mu dighumi yi bivaru abibendi mu manyengi menu: ngambu, disosu na bimosi. Tumbe dwilibini usalise dusungughu na durondu du Nzambi. Abine mbé dwireli uvaghe na dugholibene mane.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.

43Maghughe ombu djenu baFarisi, dwirondingi bitsighe biteghe mu mandaghu ma dusambu, na dwirondingi uveghu mbolu va ghari mughungi.Woe to you Pharisees! For you love the chief seats in the synagogues and the greetings in the marketplaces.

44Maghughe ombu djenu, dudji nane bambine bamaghulene, na batu ave bévyoyili mune bétsyarile nzoruru mumbari mughaa bilimbe!»Woe to you! For you are like unmarked graves, which men walk over without even noticing.”

45Mulonzi wumosi wu mighaghe akemutsingule rye: «Mulonzi, vo wivosili nane, djetu wandi wisyengi!»One of the experts in the law told Him, “Teacher, when You say these things, You insult us as well.”

46Djesu akewaghule: «Maghughe ombu djenu wandi milonzi mi mighaghe, dwinangusi batu mifune mirange ubeghu, mbana dughesisini ne mulembu wumosi mu ubawamuse.“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.

47Kamune maghughe ma dulabe? Dwibumbi bangile tsi babiyitsi, abe batadji benu bamaboke.Woe to you! For you build tombs for the prophets, but it was your fathers who killed them.

48Kaboghu, dudji kingu mosi na batadji benu, mumbari djowu bamaboke babiyitsi beni, na djenu dwirungi bangile bowu.So you are witnesses consenting to the deeds of your fathers: They killed the prophets, and you build their tombs.

49Ladibandu, Nzambi na dyele dyandi amavosile rye: “Nyubatindile babiyitsi na bilumbi, boboke bamosi, bakekwane basusu.”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.’

50Kaboghu, batu ba temu eni djidji, boveghu mbele mu dyambu di babiyitsi abamaboku, ubongile vane dibandu di bulongu.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,

51Dimabandile vane bamavunine Abele kwange na dufu du Sakari, omaboku va ghari yinyenzulu yi paghu na ndaghu Nzambi. Nine, nyidutsinguli yiri, batu ba temu eni djidji, bowivulu dibandu di malungu meni!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.

52Maghughe ombu djenu milonzi mi mighaghe, adumasweghe sabi adjiveyi dudjabu du mambu ma Nzambi. Dughadukote djenubeni, mbana dwighandise ne bo mbé baronde ukote.»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.”

53Djesu anopale o ndaghu eni, Milonzi mi mighaghe na baFarisi, bamabande wumutsuyise nomuwivule bivu mu mambu mapwele,As Jesus went on from there, the scribes and Pharisees began to oppose Him bitterly and to ply Him with questions about many things,

54kwivululu dji dyele mu ulabe yiri bowulu mbembu bive djupale mu munu andi.waiting to catch Him in something He might say.
