Luke 11 (REG) · Opened

1Akatungu kamwi Yesu aliga nasabhwa, oumwi wa abheigisibhwa bhaye namubhwila ati, “Lata Bhugenyi nuchiigishe okusabhwa lwakutyo Yoana eigisishe abheigisibhwa bhaye.”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 nabhabhwila, Mukabha nimusabhwa, mwaike, “Lata, Lisina lyao likusibhwe. Obhukama bhwa bhuje.So Jesus told them, “When you pray, say: ‘Father, hallowed be Your name. Your kingdom come.

3Uchiyane ebhilyo bhyeswe ebhya bhuli lunaku.Give us each day our daily bread.

4Uchisasile obhunyamuke bhweswe, lwakutyo eswe ona echisasila bhona bhanu abhachiyabhila. Waisiga okuchisindika chikaga mumasakwa.”And forgive us our sins, for we also forgive everyone who sins against us. And lead us not into temptation.’”

5Yesu nabhabhwila ati, “Niga kwimwe oyo ali no omusani, namujako ingeta, namubhwila, 'musani nuunsakile emikate esatu.Then Jesus said to them, “Suppose one of you goes to his friend at midnight and says, ‘Friend, lend me three loaves of bread,

6Kulwokubha omusani wani akinga olyanu okusoka lugendo, kanye nitanachakumulisha.'because a friend of mine has come to me on a journey, and I have nothing to set before him.’

7Mbe kaunu ali munyumba namusubhya ati, siga kunyasha, negaye omulyango, anye na abhana bhani chamamile kubhulili. Nitakutula kwimuka nokukuyana emikate.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.’

8Mbe enibhabhwila ati nolwo akabhula okwimuka akuyane emikate awe omusani waye, kulwokubha ousinyilisha okumukononela utananswalo, kemuka nakuyana ebhibhala bhyafu ebhye emikate okwinganya na kutyo wamusabhilwe.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.

9Mbe anyone enibhabhwila ati, “Musabhwe, omuja okubhona, mulonde omuja okubhona, mukonone kumulyango omuja okwigulilwa.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.

10Kulwokubha bhuli munu unu kasabhwa kayanwa, na unu kalonda kabhona, na unu kakonona, abhamwigulila omulyango.For everyone who asks receives; he who seeks finds; and to him who knocks, the door will be opened.

11Ali omwibhusi wa kutiki agati yemwe, unu omwana waye kasabhwa inswi ko omwene namuyana namuyana injoka?What father among you, if his son asks for a fish, will give him a snake instead?

12Amo nasabhwa liuli ko omwene namuyana inge?Or if he asks for an egg, will give him a scorpion?

13Kulwejo kalabha emwe munyamukile no omumenya okuyana abhana bhemwe ebhiyanwa bhekisi, mbe Esomwana wemwe wa mulwire atabhakila okubha kasosha Mwoyo Mweru kubhanu abhamusabhwa?”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!”

14Namala Yesu nagonya lisambwa linu lyaliga litakuloma kumunu, lyejile lyamusokako omunu oyo nabhona obhutulo bhwo okuloma. Abhanu ni bhalugula muno.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,

15Nawe abhanu bhandi nibhaika ati unu kabhilimya amasambwa kwa Belejebhuli, likulu lya amasambwa.but some of them said, “It is by Beelzebul, the prince of the demons, that He drives out demons.”

16Abhandi nibhamulegeja nibhenda abholeshe echimenyegesho okuoka mulwire.And others tested Him by demanding a sign from heaven.

17Nawe Yesu namenya ameganilisho gebhwe nabhabhwila ati, “Obhukama bhunu obhwitaganyisha obhwene obhunyalambuka na inyumba inu eitagana eigwa.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.

18Labha Shetani akabha wokutagana tagana, obhukama bhwaye obhwimelegulu kutiki? Kulwokubha omwaika ati enibhilimya amasambwa kulwa Belejebhuli.If Satan is divided against himself, how can his kingdom stand? After all, you say that I drive out demons by Beelzebul.

19Labha enigasoshako kulwa Belejebhuli, abhejanyu abhagabhilimya kwa njila ya kutiki? Kulwa injuno eyo, abhaja okubhalamula.And if I drive out demons by Beelzebul, by whom do your sons drive them out? So then, they will be your judges.

20Nawe labha enibhilimya amasambwa kwa amanaga ga Nyamuanga, mbe obhukama bhwa Nyamuanga bhwabhakingileko.But if I drive out demons by the finger of God, then the kingdom of God has come upon you.

21Omunu wamanaga ali nechigwato akalinda inyumba yaye, ebhinu bhaye ebhibha bhikobhele.When a strong man, fully armed, guards his house, his possessions are secure.

22Nawe akengililwa no omunu wa amanaga amukilile, owamanaga kamusakula ebhigwato bhaye, namala nagega ebhinu bhaye bhona.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.

23Mbe unu ataliamwi nanye oyo chitasikene, na unu atakusolosha amwi anye kanyalambula.He who is not with Me is against Me, and he who does not gather with Me scatters.

24Lisambwa libhibhi likasoka kumunu, eligenda okulonda ao gatali manji koleleki lifung'ame. Likabhulwanowokuja, elyaika ati, 'Enisubha eyo nasokele.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.’

25Likasubha, nilisanga inyumba ikukumbilwe na okondele.On its return, it finds the house swept clean and put in order.

26Kulwejo eligenda okulonda amasambwa agandi musanju amabhibhi muno okukila elyene niligaleta gaje okwikala omwo. Mbe akekaliye ko omunu oyo akabha kabhibhi muno kukila kutyo aliga ali kubhwambilo.”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.”

27Mbe nijibha kutya aliga achaika emisango ejo, omugasi umwi asosishe obhulaka bhulela agati ya liijo naika ati, “Inda inu yakwibhuye na amabhele ganu wanenele gana libando.”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!”

28Nawe omwene nasubhya ati, “Bhanu bhali na amabhando ni bhanu abhongwa nonokugwata omusango gwa Nyamuanga.”But He replied, “Blessed rather are those who hear the word of God and obey it.”

29Lyejile liijo lya abhanu lyekofyanya nokwiyongesha, Yesu namba okwaika ati, “Olwibhulo lunu nilunyamuke. Olulonda echimenyegesho, na chitalio echimenyegesho chinu bhaliyabhwa lindi tali chilya echa 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.

30Kunsonga lwakutyo Yona abhee chimenyegesho kubha Ninawi, nikwo no Omwana wa Adamu alibha chimenyegesho ku lwibhulo lunu.For as Jonah was a sign to the Ninevites, so the Son of Man will be a sign to this generation.

31Olunaku lwa indamu Omugole wa mumalimbe alimelegulu no olwibhulo lunu nalulamula (nalutemela echina), kulwokubha omwene asokele kubhutelo bhwe echalo koleleki aje ategeleshe ombhwengeso bhwa Selemani, kanu alio unu akuliye 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.

32Abhanu bha Ninawi bhalimelegulu ingulu kulunaku olwa indamu nibhalwaika kubhibhi olwibhulo lunu! Kulwokubha Abhaninawi bhatee ebhibhi bhejile bhongwa omusango gwa Yona, mbe lola, anu alio unu akuliye 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.

33Atalio omunu wonawona unu kasha itala naitula emwalo muchisute amo emwalo ye echikapo, tali kasha naitula ingulu ye echinu koleleki bhuli munu unu kengila alole obhwelu. Eliso lyao ni tala yo mubhili gwao.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.

34Eliso lyao likabha lilikisi omubhili gao ogubha guli mu bwelu. Nawe eliso lyao likabha linyamukile mbe omubhili gwao ogubha guli muchisute.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.

35Kulwejo mwikenge koleleki obhwelu bhunu bhuli Munda yemwe bhutajamo echisute.Be careful, then, that the light within you is not darkness.

36Kulwejo, labha omubhili gwao gwona guli mubhwelu, na litalio ebhala linu lili muchisute, mbe omubhili gwao ogubha gwingene na itala inu eyaka no okusosha obhwelu kwemweSo 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.”

37Ejile amala okwaika, Omufarisayo namukumilila alye ebhilyo ika ewaye, Yesu nengila munyumba neyanja age.As Jesus was speaking, a Pharisee invited Him to dine with him; so He went in and reclined at the table.

38Mbe Abhafarisayo nibhalugula okuloa nalya ebhilyo bhya kegolo atesabhileBut the Pharisee was surprised to see that Jesus did not first wash before the meal.

39Nawe Lata Bugenyi nabhabhwila ati, “Emwe Abhafarisayo omwosha anja ye ebhikombe na amabhakuli, nawe munda yemwe mwijuye omululu no obhunyamuke.Then the Lord said, “Now you Pharisees clean the outside of the cup and dish, but inside you are full of greed and wickedness.

40Emwe bhanu mutali na bhumenyi, Unu yangile anja atayangile na munda?You fools! Did not the One who made the outside make the inside as well?

41Muyane abhataka ganu gali munda, amagambo gona nigabha makonde kwemwe.But give as alms the things that are within you, and behold, everything will be clean for you.

42Nawe Jilibhabhona emwe Abhafarisayo, kulwokubha omusosha imwi kwi kumi eyo mubhabhayi no omuchicha na bhuli luganda lwe emikubhi ja mumugunda. Nawe musigile emisango jo obhulengelesi no okwenda Nyamuanga, Nijakisi muno okukola ago obhulengelesi no okwenda Nyamuanga, no obhutasiga okukola agandi ago gona.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.

43Ejibhabhona Abhafarisayo, kulwokubha omwenda okwiyanja kubhitebhe bhya imbele mumasinagogi nokulamila jinkesha eje chibhalo mumagulilo.Woe to you Pharisees! For you love the chief seats in the synagogues and the greetings in the marketplaces.

44Ejibhabhona, kulwokubha omususana ne ebhitulo bhinu bhitali na chibhalikisho bhinu abhanu abhatajako ingulu obhutamenya.”Woe to you! For you are like unmarked graves, which men walk over without even noticing.”

45Omwiigisha umwi we ebhilagilo bhye Echiyaudi namusubhya no okumubhwila ati, “Mwiigisha, echo owaika echichinyola eswe ona.”One of the experts in the law told Him, “Teacher, when You say these things, You insult us as well.”

46Yesu naika ati, “Ejibhabhona, abheigisha bhe ebhilagilo! Kulwokubha omubhatwika emijigo misito jinu bhatakutula kwitika, nawe emwe silisili mutajikunyako emijigo ejo nolwo ku chimwi che ebhyala bhyemwe.“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.

47Ejibhabhona, kulwokubha omumbaka nokutulako ebhijukisho ku bhitulo bhya abhalagi bhanu bhetilwe nabha jaji bhemwe.Woe to you! For you build tombs for the prophets, but it was your fathers who killed them.

48Kulwejo emwe ona omwikilishanya ne emilimu jinu jakolelwe na bhajaji bhemwe, kulwokubha nichimali bhetile abhalagi bhanu omumbakila ebhijukisho kubhitulo bhyebhwe.So you are witnesses consenting to the deeds of your fathers: They killed the prophets, and you build their tombs.

49Kulwa injuno eyo ona, obhwengeso bhwa Nyamuanga obhwaika ati, 'Enibhatumila abhalagi na jintumwa ona bhalibhanyasha no okwitako abhandi.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.’

50Olwibhulo lunu lulibhusibhwa ingulu ya abhalagi bhanu bhetilwe okwambila kubhwambilo bhwe echalo,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,

51okusokelela kumanyinga ga Abeli okukinga ku manyinga ga Zakaria, unu etilwe agati na agati ya amajabhau na kubhweru. Yee, Enibhabhwila emwe, olwibhulo lunu lulibhusibhwa ingulu yejo jona.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.

52Jilibhabhona emwe abheigisha bhe ebhilagilo bhya Abhayaudi, kulwokubha mugegele jinfungulujo ja kubhwenge; emwe abhene mutakwingila, na muganyishe bhanu bhaliga nibhengila.”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 ejile amala okusoka ao, Abhandiki na Abhafarisayo bhamulemele nibhayakana nage ingulu ye emisango myafu.As Jesus went on from there, the scribes and Pharisees began to oppose Him bitterly and to ply Him with questions about many things,

54Nibhalegeja okumugwatisha na amagambo gaye.waiting to catch Him in something He might say.
