Luke 11 (SHR) · Opened

1Kwanacibà lêro erhi ali hantu haguma adwîrhe ashenga, erhi ayûsa, muguma omu baganda bâge amubwîra, erhi: «Yâgirwa, orhubwîrize nîrhu okushenga, nka kulya Yowane abwîrizagya abaganda bâge.»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.”

2Anacibabwîra, erhi: «Nka mwashenga, “mukaderha ntya”: “Larha, Izîno lyâwe likuzibwe”; “Obwâmi bwâwe buyishe”;So Jesus told them, “When you pray, say: ‘Father, hallowed be Your name. Your kingdom come.

3“Orhuhè ene akalyo kîrhu ka ngasi lusiku”;Give us each day our daily bread.

4“Orhubabalire ebyâha bîrhu”, “bulya nîrhu rhubabalira ngasi yêshi orhuli omu mwenda”; “orhanarhuhiraga omu mashumi”».And forgive us our sins, for we also forgive everyone who sins against us. And lead us not into temptation.’”

5Ababwîra, erhi: «Muguma muli mwe erhi ankabà ajira omwîra, ayish’imutula aha karhî k’obudufu, erhi: “Mwîra wâni, mpoza migati isharhu”,Then Jesus said to them, “Suppose one of you goes to his friend at midnight and says, ‘Friend, lend me three loaves of bread,

6“bulya omwîra wâni ambalamîre ntanagwêrhi eci namuzimâna”.because a friend of mine has come to me on a journey, and I have nothing to set before him.’

7“Naye amushuzize omu nyumpa, anamubwîre, erhi”: “Orhambere irhwe; mîra lwahamikagwa, nankola ngwîshîre n’abâna bâni; ntankacizûka nti nkuhè”.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.’

8“Olya erhi ankashub’ikakomamba, mmubwîzire oku, ciru ankabà arhazûsiri mpu amuhêre obwîra, anazâka erhi burhè burhuma, amuhè ngasi eci alonza”».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.

9«Nâni mmubwîzire: Muhûne mwahâbwa, mulonze mwarhôla, mukomambe mwayigulirwa.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.

10Bulya ngasi ohûna anahâbwe, na ngasi olonza anarhôle, n’okomamba oku lumvi anayigulirwe.For everyone who asks receives; he who seeks finds; and to him who knocks, the door will be opened.

11Mubusi ndi muli mwe, omugala erhi ankamuhûna obuntu, ankamuha ibumba? Nîsi erhi ankamuhûna enfî, ka ankamuhà empiri?What father among you, if his son asks for a fish, will give him a snake instead?

12Nîsi kandi erhi amuhûne iji, ka ankamuha ihiri?Or if he asks for an egg, will give him a scorpion?

13Mwe babî, akabà muyish’ihà abâna binyu ebinja, Sho w’empingu yêhe k’arhalushe okuhà abamuhûnyire Mûka Mutagatîfu!»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!”

14Anacibà adwîrhe alibirhakwo shetani, n’oyo shetani erhi wa kaduma. Eerhi shetani akarhengamwo, kalya kaduma kaderha, n’olubaga lwarhangâla.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,

15Ci baguma muli bo baderha, mpu: «Belzebubi, omurhambo w’abashetani, ye ahulusamwo abashetani».but some of them said, “It is by Beelzebul, the prince of the demons, that He drives out demons.”

16N’abandi balonza okumurhangula, bamuhûna ecimanyîso cahubuka oku nkuba.And others tested Him by demanding a sign from heaven.

17Ci yêhe abona enkengêro zâbo, ababwîra, erhi: «Ngasi bwâmi buciberamwo, kuhya buhya, n’enyumpa zanakahongokera oku zindi.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.

18“Naye shetani, akabà acîgabiremwo yênene, kurhi obwâmi bwâge bwankaciyimanga?” “Bulya mudesire mpu oku buzibu bwa Belzebubi ndibirha kwo bashetani”.If Satan is divided against himself, how can his kingdom stand? After all, you say that I drive out demons by Beelzebul.

19“Akabà oku buzibu bwa Belzebubi ndibirhakwo bashetani, oku buzibu bwa ndi abâna binyu babalibirhakwo bo?” “Lêro bo bayish’ibà bacîranuzi binyu”.And if I drive out demons by Beelzebul, by whom do your sons drive them out? So then, they will be your judges.

20“Ci akabà oku munwe gwa Nyamuzinda ndibirhakwo bashetani, kwo kuderha oku Obwâmi bwa Nnâmahanga bwayishire eno mwinyu”.But if I drive out demons by the finger of God, then the kingdom of God has come upon you.

21“Entwâli ecîbambizize ekalâlîra enyumpa yâge, ntâye wankahuma oku birugu byâge”.When a strong man, fully armed, guards his house, his possessions are secure.

22“Ci erhi hankayisha omulushire burhwâli, akanamuhima, anamunyaga emirasano yoshi ali acîkubagîre, n’ebi amunyagaga, anabigabaguza”».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«Oyu rhurhali rhwe naye, erhi mushombanyi, n’orharhôla haguma nâni, erhi kushandâza ashandâza».He who is not with Me is against Me, and he who does not gather with Me scatters.

24«Shetani akarhenga omu muntu, anajè ageragera aharhali mîshi, ajè alonza ah’arhamûkira. Akahabula, anaderha, erhi: “Ka ncîshubirire mulya mwâni narhengaga”.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.’

25“Erhi amuhika, anashimâna muli muhyajire munabambirwe bwinjà”.On its return, it finds the house swept clean and put in order.

26“Anagenda obwo, alêrhe bandi bashetani nda babî kumulusha; n’erhi bajamwo, banacilambûliramwo”. “Okubundi obwôrhere buzinda bw’oyo muntu bwanabà bubî kurhaluka oburhanzi”».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.”

27Lêro oku adwîrhe aderha ntyo, mukazi muguma omu lubaga anaciyakuûza, erhi: «Iragi ly’enda yakuhêkaga n’amabêre gakuyonsagya!»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!”

28Ci yêhe amushuza, erhi: «Iragi lyâbo erhi bo abayumva ecinwa ca Nnâmahanga n’okucilanga!»But He replied, “Blessed rather are those who hear the word of God and obey it.”

29Erhi orhutu rhw’abantu rhumulundûkira, arhondêra okubabwîra, erhi: «Eri iburha liri iburha libî; lyalonza ecimanyîso, n’ecimanyîso ntâco lyâbona ecirhali cimanyîso ca Yônà.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.

30Bulya, nka kulya Yônà aberaga abantu b’e Ninive cimanyîso, kwo na Mwene-omuntu ayìsh’ibà kuli eri iburha.For as Jonah was a sign to the Ninevites, so the Son of Man will be a sign to this generation.

31Omwâmi-kazi w’Ebulyo ayish’ijà lubanja n’eri iburha, aliyagîrize, bulya arhengaga enyuma y’ebihugo mpu ayish’iyumva obushinganya bwa Salomoni; n’olushire Salomoni, y’ono oli hano!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.

32Abantu b’e Ninive bayish’ijà lubanja n’eri iburha, banaliyâze, bulya bacîyunjuzize erhi bayumva enyigîrizo za Yônà; n’olushire Yônà, y’ono oli hano!»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«Ntâye oyakiza akamole okukafulika omu nterulè erhi omu byâsi, ci oku ngondôzo kamanikwa, lyo abajà omu nyumpa babona obulangale.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.

34Akamole k’omubiri gwâwe, lyo isù lyâwe. Isù lyâwe likabà ligumaguma, omubiri gwâwe gwoshi gunabè n’obulangashane; ci erhi lyankalwâla, nagwo omubiri gwâwe gwanabà n’omwizimya.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.

35Ocidôsc erhi ohulangale bukulimwo burhali mwizimya!Be careful, then, that the light within you is not darkness.

36Omubiri gwâwe gwoshi gukabà n’obulangale, buzira cirumbu ciri omu mwizimya, gwoshi gwanabêra omu bulangale nka kulya akamole kakumolekera n’obulangale bwâko».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.”

37Oku acidwîrhe aderha, Mufarizeyi muguma anacimulâlika mpu aj’irya emwâge. Anaciyijà, atamala oku cîbo.As Jesus was speaking, a Pharisee invited Him to dine with him; so He went in and reclined at the table.

38Erhi abona okwo, olya Mufarizeyi arhondêra acîdesa emurhima mpu arhacîkalabire embere z’okulya.But the Pharisee was surprised to see that Jesus did not first wash before the meal.

39Ci Nyakasane amubwîra, erhi: «Mwe Bafarizeyi, mushuka ebiri emugongo gw’akabehe n’embêhe, ci erhi munayunjwire bushungu n’obubî!Then the Lord said, “Now you Pharisees clean the outside of the cup and dish, but inside you are full of greed and wickedness.

40“Ebi bingolongolo”! “Owajiraga ebiri emugongo k’arhali ye wajiraga n’ebiri omu ndalâlà?”You fools! Did not the One who made the outside make the inside as well?

41“Muhêreze abakenyi ebi mugwêrhe erhikwo, na ntyo byoshi byammubêra bicêse”.But give as alms the things that are within you, and behold, everything will be clean for you.

42“Ci kwônene, buhanya bwinyu mwe Bafarizeyi, bulya muhâna entûlo y’emento n’eruta n’eya ngasi lushogo, mugal’iyibagira obushinganyanya n’obuzigire bwa Nnâmahanga! N’obwo byo mukwânîne okurhang’ijira ebyo, buzira okuyibagira ebirhanzi”.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“Buhanya bwinyu, mwe Bafarizeyi, bulya musîma okubwârhala oku ntebe ntanzi omu masinagogi n’okulamusibwa oku mmâna!”Woe to you Pharisees! For you love the chief seats in the synagogues and the greetings in the marketplaces.

44“Buhanya bwinyu, bulya mushusha enshinda zirhabonekana, ciru n’abantu banazigerekwo barhanamanyiri!”»Woe to you! For you are like unmarked graves, which men walk over without even noticing.”

45Muguma omu bashamuka b’ihano ashuza, erhi: «Muyigîriza, omu kuderha ntyo, kurhujacira orhujacîre nîrhu!»One of the experts in the law told Him, “Teacher, when You say these things, You insult us as well.”

46Naye, erhi: «Ninyu mwe bashamuka b’ihano, buhanya bwinyu! Bulya munabarhuze abantu emizigo erhankagalwa, n’obwo mwêne ciru murhayihumakwo n’omunwe gwinyu!“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.

47Buhanya bwinyu, mwe muyûbakîsa enshinda z’abalêbi, n’obwo basho bo babayîrhaga!Woe to you! For you build tombs for the prophets, but it was your fathers who killed them.

48Ntyo muli bahamîrizi b’ebijiro bya basho, munabiyêmêra; bulya bo babayîrhaga, ninyu muyûbaka ebyûsho byâbo!So you are witnesses consenting to the deeds of your fathers: They killed the prophets, and you build their tombs.

49Co cirhumire Obushinganya bwa Nyamuzinda buderha: Nabarhumira abalêbi n’entumwa, bayîrhamwo baguma banabalibuze,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.’

50lyo eri iburha liyish’idôsibwa omukò gw’abalêbi gwabulajisire kurhenga okulemwa kw’igulu,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,

51kurhenga omukò gw’Abeli kuhika omukò gwa Zakariya, owanigiragwa omu ka-Nyamuzinda ekarhî k’oluhêro n’ahatagatîfu. Okuli, mmubwîre, ebyo byoshi byabarhuzîbwe eri iburha.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.

52Buhanya bwinyu, mwe bashamuka b’ihano! Bulya mwayansire olwigulo lw’obumanye. Mwene murhacimujaga, nabo abàli bamujà, mwabahagalika!»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.”

53Erhi ahuluka, abashamuka b’ihano n’Abafarizeyi barhondêra okumukunirira bwenêne n’okumudôkereza binji binji,As Jesus went on from there, the scribes and Pharisees began to oppose Him bitterly and to ply Him with questions about many things,

54bakamurhega mpu lyo aderha akanwa karhuma bamushobeka.waiting to catch Him in something He might say.
