Luke 11 (SBY) · Opened

1Nabumbi busuba Yesu walikapaila kumusena umo. Mpwalapwisha, umo weshikwiya wakendi wamwambileti, “Mwami, kamutwiyishani kupaila mbuli Yohane ncalaisha beshikwiya bakendi.”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 walabambileti, “Pakupaila kamwambangeti, “Ta, lilemekwe lina lyenu lyaswepa, Bwami bwenu bwise.So Jesus told them, “When you pray, say: ‘Father, hallowed be Your name. Your kingdom come.

3Mutupenga byakulya bilayandikinga lelo, kayi ne masuba onse.Give us each day our daily bread.

4Mutulekelele bwipishi bwetu mbuli ncotukute kulekelela bantu beshikutwipishila, Kamutatutwala mumasunko.”And forgive us our sins, for we also forgive everyone who sins against us. And lead us not into temptation.’”

5Lino walabambileti, Nomba na umbi popele pano uya kung'anda yamunendi pakati pamashiku nekwambeti, Mwana, kombwelekako shinkwa utatu,Then Jesus said to them, “Suppose one of you goes to his friend at midnight and says, ‘Friend, lend me three loaves of bread,

6pakwinga ndapolelwa mwensu uli pabulwendo. Lino ndiya cakumupa kwambeti alye!because a friend of mine has come to me on a journey, and I have nothing to set before him.’

7Lino munobe akumbwila mukati eti, utanshupa! Kucishinga tulacalako kendi kayi ame nebana bakame tulono kendi. Nkandelela kupunduka kwambeti nkupe shinkwa.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.’

8Ndamwambilingeti, nakapunduke nekumupa, kwakubula kwambeti nimunendi nsombi pakwinga lakakatili kumusenga. Nakamupe byonse mbyabula.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.

9Weco ndamwambilinga, kamusengani nimukapewe, kamulangolani nimukacane kayi kamukonkoshani nibakamucalilwe.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.

10“Pakwinga uyo weshi kusenga ukute kupewa, ne uyo weshi kulangola ukute kucana neye weshi kukonkosha nibakamucalwile.For everyone who asks receives; he who seeks finds; and to him who knocks, the door will be opened.

11lino niyani mushali pakati penu, na mwanendi umusenga inswi, sena ngomupa injoka?What father among you, if his son asks for a fish, will give him a snake instead?

12Nambi amusenga liyi, sena ngomupa kapilili?Or if he asks for an egg, will give him a scorpion?

13Nomba amwe, mobantu baipa, mukute kupa bana benu byaina, nomba bata ba kwilu ngabalilweconi kupa Mushimu Uswepa kuli abo balamusengenga?”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!”

14Yesu walikafunya mushimu waipa walikukanisha muntuyo kwamba. Mushimu uyo mpowalafumamo, muntuyo walatatika kwamba. Neco bantu bonse balikubapo balakankamana.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,

15Nsombi bambi balambeti, “Ukute kufunya mishimu yaipa pakwinga Belezebulu emwami wa mishimu yaipa, eukute kumupa ngofu.”but some of them said, “It is by Beelzebul, the prince of the demons, that He drives out demons.”

16Cindi copeleco bambi balelesha kusunka Yesu eti ababoneshe cikankamanisho ceshi cifuma kwilu.And others tested Him by demanding a sign from heaven.

17Nsombi Yesu walenshiba miyeyo yabo, Lino walabambileti, “Bulelo bonse bwabukilana ne kutatika kulwana, bulelo ubo bukute kumwaika. Na bantu ba mukowa umo babukilana, mukowa uwo ngomwaika.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.

18Nomba na bwami bwa Satana bubukilana, nomba bwami ubo ngabuyuma econi? Amwe mulambangeti, nkute kupulisha mishimu yaipa ne ngofu sha Belezebulu.If Satan is divided against himself, how can his kingdom stand? After all, you say that I drive out demons by Beelzebul.

19Lino na ame ndapulishinga mishimu yaipa mbuli ncobalenshinga beshikwiya benu, nomba ame ngamung'ambeconi eti ndapulishinga mishimu yaipa ne ngofu sha Belezebulu, nomba beshikwiya benu balapulishinga mishimu yaipa nengofu shabani? Palico beshikwiya benu nibakamulesheti mwalubila.And if I drive out demons by Beelzebul, by whom do your sons drive them out? So then, they will be your judges.

20Nsombi na ame nkute kupulisha mishimu yaipa mungofu sha Lesa, ekwambeti Bwami bwa Lesa buli pakati penu.”But if I drive out demons by the finger of God, then the kingdom of God has come upon you.

21Na muntu wangofu kalangilila ng'anda yakendi ne byensho, buboni bwakendi nkabwela kwibwapo.When a strong man, fully armed, guards his house, his possessions are secure.

22Nsombi umbi wapitapo ngofu na lesa, nekumukoma, ukute kumanta bibya byakendi byonse mbyacinkilamo ne kuyabanya buboni mbwalebila bantu.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“Muntu uliyense labulunga kwikatishana nenjame nimulwani wakame, uyo labulunga kunyamfwa kubunganisha mbelele, nendi niweshi kupalanganya.”He who is not with Me is against Me, and he who does not gather with Me scatters.

24“Na mushimu waipa ulafumu mumuntu, ukute kuya mumalundu a kuyandaula kwakupumwinina. Nakulabulu kucanika, ukute kwambeti, nimbwelele mung'anda yakame mondalafuma.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.’

25Lino na ulabwelele ukute kucana ng'anda iyo yaswepa cena.On its return, it finds the house swept clean and put in order.

26Lino ukute kuletelapo imbi isanu ne ibili yapitapo pali nayo, kwambeti bengile nekwikala mumuntu uyo. Neco bwikalo bwamuntu uyo bukute kwipa kupita bwakutanguna.”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 mpwalapwisha kwambeco mutukashi umbi mulikoto walolobesheti, walelekwa mutukashi walakusema nekukuyamwisha.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!”

28Lino Yesu walakumbuleti, “bakute colwe abo balanyumfunga Maswi a Lesa ne kwinsa ncalambanga!”But He replied, “Blessed rather are those who hear the word of God and obey it.”

29Bantu mpobalikuya kufula, Yesu walatatika kwambeti, “Bantu bacino cindi baipa, bakute kuyanda kubona cingashilo cishikufuma kwilu, lino nteshibakacibonepo cingashilo ico, nsombi ca mushinshimi 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.

30Mbuli Yona ncalikuba cingashilo ku Ninive, neye Mwana Muntu nakabe cingashilo capewa kubantu ba cino cindi.For as Jonah was a sign to the Ninevites, so the Son of Man will be a sign to this generation.

31Pabusuba bwakubeteka mwami mutukashi wa kumbonshi kwa cishi ca Sheba nakamutoteke pakwinga walafuma kwakuma cishi kwisa akunyumfwa mano a Solomoni. Kamubonani pano mpwali wapita SolomoniThe 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.

32Pabusuba bwakubetekwa, bantu baku Ninive nibakapunduke pamo ne bantu bamusemano uwu, nibakabatoteke. Pakwinga balo balasanduka kufuma kubwipishi, mpwalabakambaukila Yona. Lino mpwali pano wapita 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“Kuliya muntu wela kumunika lampi ne kwisoleka nambi kwifwekelela ne nongo, nsombi ukute kwibika pelu kwambeti imunikile bonse balengilinga mung'anda.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.

34Menso enu emumuni wa mubili wenu. Na menso enu ali cena. Ne mubili wonse ukute kuba mu mumuni. Nsombi na menso enu abula kuba cena, mubili wonse ukute kuba mumunshinshe.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.

35Lino kamucenjelani kwambeti mumuni uli muli njamwe utaba mushinshe.Be careful, then, that the light within you is not darkness.

36Neco na mubili wonse kauli mumuni kwakubula mushinshe, mubili wonse ukutekuba mumuni mbuli lampi lilakumunikilinga.”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 mpwalapwisha kwamba, Mufalisi walamukuwa eti alye nendiye. Neco Yesu walaya mung'anda nekwikala kwambeti kulya.As Jesus was speaking, a Pharisee invited Him to dine with him; so He went in and reclined at the table.

38Mufalisi uyo walakankamana mpwalaboneti Yesu latatiki kulya katana asamba kumakasa kwelena ne myambo yabo.But the Pharisee was surprised to see that Jesus did not first wash before the meal.

39Popelapo Mwami Yesu walamwambileti, “Lino amwe Bafalisi mukute kusuka kunsa kwambale nenkomeshi, nsombi mumyoyo yenu mwesula kulisuna ne nebukapondo.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 mobantu baluya! Sena Lesa walalenga byakunsa ntendiye walalenga ne byamukati?You fools! Did not the One who made the outside make the inside as well?

41Pakupa bapenga, mubapenga bintu ibyo bili mukati munkomeshi ne mumbale, Lino byonse bintu byenu nibikabe byaswepa.”But give as alms the things that are within you, and behold, everything will be clean for you.

42“Mapensho, kuli amwe Bafalisi! Pakwinga mulabikilinga mano kwambeti mupe Lesa ca likumi pa tuntu tungana tungangana tweshikulengesha kwambeti buchisa bununkile cena. Nsombi nkamukute kwinshila bantu bintu byalulama nambi kusuna Lesa. Pakwinga bintu ibi mwelela kubinsa, kwakubula kusula nabimbi ibyo.”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“Mapensho nakabe pali njamwe Bafalisi! Pakwinga mukute kusala bipuna byabulemu mumanda akupaililamo, ne kusuna kupewa mitende yabulemu mumisena yakulishilamo.”Woe to you Pharisees! For you love the chief seats in the synagogues and the greetings in the marketplaces.

44“Mapensho nakabe pali njamwe bafalisi, pakwinga mulyeti manda ataboneke ngobakute kulyatapo cakubula kwinshiba.”Woe to you! For you are like unmarked graves, which men walk over without even noticing.”

45Lino shikwiyisha Milawo umbi walakumbuleti, “Amwe mobeshikwiyisha pakwambeco nenjafwe mulatusampulunga.”One of the experts in the law told Him, “Teacher, when You say these things, You insult us as well.”

46Yesu walambeti mapensho kuli abo beshikwiyisha Milawo pakwinga mukute kupa bantu mikuli yalema, nsombi amwe mobene nkamukumyuko nambi pang'ana.“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.

47Mapensho nakbe pali njamwe, pakwinga mukute kwibaka byumbwe byaina byabashinshimi, kakuli bamashali benu ebalashina bashinshimi.Woe to you! For you build tombs for the prophets, but it was your fathers who killed them.

48Lino ekwambeti ico calensa bamashali benu cilaleshengeti mukute kucisuminisha kwambeti balo balashina bashinshimi amwe mwalebaka byumbwe.So you are witnesses consenting to the deeds of your fathers: They killed the prophets, and you build their tombs.

49Weco Lesa mu mano akendi walambeti, ninkabatume bashinshimi ne batumwa, Lino nabambi pakati pabo nibakabashine kayi nabambi nibakabapenshewe.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.’

50Nomba bantu bacino cindi nibakapewe mulandu wa bashinshimi bonse balashinwa kufuma kumatatikilo a cishi capanshi,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,

51Kutatikila kukushinwa kwa Abelo kushikila kukushinwa kwa Sakaliya, uyo walashinwa pakati pa cipaililo kayi ne Musena Uswepa wa Ng'anda yakendi Lesa. Ndamwambilingeti bantu ba musemano uwu nibakapewe mulandu palibi byonse.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“Malele kuli abo beshikwiyisha milawo! Mwalamanta maki akucalwila bantu bamano. Amwe mobene muliya kwingila, mwalakanisha abo balikuyanda kwingila.”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 mpwalafuma mung'anda umo, beshikwiyisha Milawo kayi ne Bafalisi balatatika kumutongokila ne kumwipusha mipusho ingi yapusana pusana.As Jesus went on from there, the scribes and Pharisees began to oppose Him bitterly and to ply Him with questions about many things,

54Balikuyanda kumucaninapo mulandu mumyambo yakendi.waiting to catch Him in something He might say.
