Luke 11 (SBK) · Opened

1Yabha nali humo humo alabhaga na wamala, omo wasambelezewa bhakwe abhole, “GOSI, umanyizye ate apute neshe shila oYohana shabha manyizizya asambelezewa bhakwe.'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.”

2Wabhabhola na mputa, yangaji, semeni, 'Baba, hwetu woli mwanya. Itawa lyaho lisaiwaje. Umwene waho wenze, amapenzi gaho gatimizi waje, epa padunia neshe ohwo amwanya.So Jesus told them, “When you pray, say: ‘Father, hallowed be Your name. Your kingdom come.

3Otipele isiku hwi siku eriziki yetu.Give us each day our daily bread.

4Otisajile embibhi zyetu, afwanaje nate ate tibhasajira shila yativisya. Na ogaje ati ponye mmalabha.” (lelo otaule nalo obhibhi)And forgive us our sins, for we also forgive everyone who sins against us. And lead us not into temptation.’”

5Wabhabhola, “Wenu hwilimwe yali no rafiki, wabhalila nosiku, owe manane na hubhole, Rafiki wane hopele amabumnda gatatu.Then Jesus said to them, “Suppose one of you goes to his friend at midnight and says, ‘Friend, lend me three loaves of bread,

6Afwanaje orafiki wane afishile hwiline afamile msafari, nane sendi nahantu eshabheshe hwitagalila lyakwe.'because a friend of mine has come to me on a journey, and I have nothing to set before him.’

7Na ola owa mhati galula ayanje, uganjenja zye, olyango engaliye nate tiganile nashitala ane na bhana bhane, sebwezizya abhoshe aje epele.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.’

8Embabhale yaje, ata nkashile bhoha apele afwanaje rafiki wakwe, lele shila shasaleha hulabhe, bhaso gale na hupele, kadli eyehaja yakwe.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.

9Nane embabhola, Labhaji, mbhapewe; anzaji, namwe mbhalole, ganezyaje, nemwa mbhahwalwe.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.

10Afwanaje shila yalabha apewa, wape ya hwanza alola, wape yadaliha ahwaulwa.For everyone who asks receives; he who seeks finds; and to him who knocks, the door will be opened.

11Eshi wenu hwalimwe, yali Yise wenyuyaje omwana wukwe, nkalabhe ibumnda ahupela iweWhat father among you, if his son asks for a fish, will give him a snake instead?

12au samaki badala ya samaki ahupela enzoha?Or if he asks for an egg, will give him a scorpion?

13Eshi, ekiwa amwe mwemli bhibhi mmenye abhapele abhana bhenyu evintu evinza, eshi oBaba warimwanya sabhazide abhapele opepo ozelu bhala bhabhalabha?”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!”

14Wape ali, ahwefwa ipepo, ibubu. lyabha ipepo nalyepa, ola obubu wayanga, mabongano bhaswiga.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,

15Bhamo bhayanga, ahwefwa pepo, Beelzebul, gosi we pepo.but some of them said, “It is by Beelzebul, the prince of the demons, that He drives out demons.”

16Bhamo bhalenga bhamwanza ishala yefuma amwanya.And others tested Him by demanding a sign from heaven.

17Wape azimenye esebho zyabho, wabhabhola, shila umwene wauvisenye wowo kwa wowo, ubhombeha sheukwa, nekhaya juu yekhaya egwa.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.

18Eshi nkebhe Oshetani avisenye juu ye nafsi yakwe, umwene wakwa ubhahwemelele wele, afanaje amwe mjile ane ehwefwa mapepo hwa Belzebuli.If Satan is divided against himself, how can his kingdom stand? After all, you say that I drive out demons by Beelzebul.

19Eshi nkashile ane ehwefwa pepo Belzebuli, je abhana bhenu, mbhabhefwe hwananu, afwanaje, ebho bhabhayibhalonga.And if I drive out demons by Beelzebul, by whom do your sons drive them out? So then, they will be your judges.

20Lelo, nkashele ane efumya amapepo hushidole sha Ngolobhe, eshu umwene owa Ngolobhe ubhenzeye.But if I drive out demons by the finger of God, then the kingdom of God has come upon you.

21Omntu yali namaha ahwipinyile endoso zyakwe, nalinda ekhaya yakwe, evintu evyakwa vilishinza.When a strong man, fully armed, guards his house, his possessions are secure.

22Lelo omntu yali namaha ashile omwahale na bhahubhalile nahumene, na hufyole endoso zyakwe zyasobheye, na gabhanye amateka gakwe.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.

23Omntu ambaye salipandwemo nane, oyo alishinyume nane na omntu yasabhonganya pandwemo nane anyapanya.He who is not with Me is against Me, and he who does not gather with Me scatters.

24Opepo ochafu nafuma hwamntu, ashililila pasepali menze. Ahwanza apatoye sapalela, ayanga.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.’

25Embayiwelele enyumba yane mwefumele.On its return, it finds the house swept clean and put in order.

26Hata nafiha nkawalola eyoselye na yipambe esho abhala ayeje pepe abhamwabho saba bhali bhabhibhi ashile elyahale lyelyo, ginjila na khale omwo, omntu oyo ehali yakwe eya humalisholo ebhambibhi shile eyahwande.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.”

27Yabha nawayanga amazu ego, oshe om katika obongano akholile hwizu lyakwe, wabhola heri evyanda vyavyapepe, na mabhele gohoshile.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!”

28Lelo omwahale ayanjile, nafu, aheli bhahwovwa izu elya Ngolobhe na likhate.But He replied, “Blessed rather are those who hear the word of God and obey it.”

29Na mabongano nabhali bhahubhonganila, ahandile ayanje, eshikholo eshi shikholo eshibhibhi. Shihwanza ishala, wala seshayipewa ishara ila ishara eya 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.

30Eshi, nkasile shila o Yona shari ishara hwa bhaninawi, shesho shayibha omwana owa Adamu hushikholo eshi.For as Jonah was a sign to the Ninevites, so the Son of Man will be a sign to this generation.

31Omalkia owa hukusini ayisogola isiku ilyalongwe pandwemo na bhantu abheshikholo eshi wape aibhalonga aje mnamakosa afatanaje omwahale ahenzele afume ncha ezye ensi ayovwe ehekimu eya Solomoni, na epa pali o gosi ashera Osolomoni.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.

32Abhantu Bhaninawi bhayemelela isiku elya longwe pandwemo nesikholo eshi bhape bhayishilongu aje shikosile afwanaje abhahale bhasajilwe hundomelelo ezya Yona, nepa pali ogosi ashile o 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.

33Nomo omntu yahwasya okhozyo nabhesha pa pafisishe au pansi pameza, eshi ibhehwa pamwanya eye meza, ili bhabhahwinjila bhalolaje okhozyo.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.

34Okhozyo olwebele liso. Eshi iliso lyaho nkalibhe shinza, obele gwao gwonti gubhabhelukhozyo. Lelo nkalibhe libhibhi obele gwaho gubhabhe nkisi.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.

35Enya eshi olukhozyo lwalimhati yaho osije ogabha nkisi.Be careful, then, that the light within you is not darkness.

36Eshi nkashile okhozyo guzyambanile mubele gwaho gwonti, wala segunesehemu eye nkisi, esho obele gwaho gwonti gubhabhe nokhozyo, nkashile lula okhozyo nkaukhozye obele gwaho gwonti gubhabhe no mwanga.”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.”

37Nali ayanga, o Falisayo omo akwizizye abhale hwamwahale alye ehsalye, winjila, wakhala pa shalye.As Jesus was speaking, a Pharisee invited Him to dine with him; so He went in and reclined at the table.

38Farisayo oyo nalolile, aswijile afwanaje saganawile sasele alye.But the Pharisee was surprised to see that Jesus did not first wash before the meal.

39Ogosi wabhola, “Amwe mwafalisayo mhwozya eshikombo ne sahani wonze lelo mhati yenyu mmemile afyole no ubhibhi.Then the Lord said, “Now you Pharisees clean the outside of the cup and dish, but inside you are full of greed and wickedness.

40Amwe mwalema yabhombile evya hwonza seyoyo yabhombile evya mhati antele?You fools! Did not the One who made the outside make the inside as well?

41Ulo fumyaji esadaka vila evya mhati ne enya, vyonti vibhovinza hwilimwe.But give as alms the things that are within you, and behold, everything will be clean for you.

42Lelo ole wenyu Mwafarisayo, afwatanaje mfumia ezaka za mnanaa ne zebwa na shila vilembe na ohu mleshile amamba age adili na lugane olya Ngolobhe. Mwanziwaga abhombe ego agahwande bla agalishe ego agabhele.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.

43Ole wenyu Mwafarisayo, afwanaje msongwa akhale hwitagalila elye mabhanza na lamhane msokoni.Woe to you Pharisees! For you love the chief seats in the synagogues and the greetings in the marketplaces.

44Ole wenyu, afwanaje mlengene na makabuli gasegabhone amago abhantu nabhashilla juu yakwe sebhali nehabari nago.”Woe to you! For you are like unmarked graves, which men walk over without even noticing.”

45Omntu omo katika abhanasheria wagalula, wabhalola sambelezi, ayanje esho otilajiye ate natee.One of the experts in the law told Him, “Teacher, when You say these things, You insult us as well.”

46Wayanga, namwe mbhanasheria, ole wenyu afwanaje mbhatweha abhantu amazigo gasega nyeruha wala amwe bhenyewe semgapalamasya amazigo ego hata huvidole vyenyu shimo.“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.

47Ole wenyu afwanaje mzenga maziala aga kuwa na ayise bhenyu afwanaje bhabhagojile.Woe to you! For you build tombs for the prophets, but it was your fathers who killed them.

48Eshi mshuhudila na zyetishe embombo ezya yise bhenyu, afwanaje bhahale bhabhagojile namwe mbhazenjela amaziala.So you are witnesses consenting to the deeds of your fathers: They killed the prophets, and you build their tombs.

49Na afwanaje esho ehekima eya Ngolobhe ihayanjila, enya, embasontezye hwabhahale akuwa na tumwa, bhape bhayibhagoga bhamo na bhutanje.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.’

50Ili hupapwa ene liwahwenze idanda elya kuwa wonti, yehitishe afume azengwe omsingi ogwensi.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,

51Afume idanda elya Abeli hata idanda elya Zakaria, yagongwilye kati ya pampto eya pashibhanza. Nantele embabhola eyaje ebhahwanzye humpapo ene.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.

52Ole wenyu amwe mbhana sheria afwanaje muwefwizye efukuro eye marifai mwemwe semwahinji yei nabhala bhabhahinjilaga mbhazubhiye.”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.”

53Nawafuma omwo asimbi na Mafalisayo bhandile husonje shibhibhi na husinjizye humaswali gaminji.As Jesus went on from there, the scribes and Pharisees began to oppose Him bitterly and to ply Him with questions about many things,

54Bhahuzijila ili bhapata enongwa zya zifuma mwilumu lyakwe.waiting to catch Him in something He might say.
