Luke 6 (TYX) · Opened

1Ya mu etsughu etsyini kii Sabate, Yiisu ákaluru munsa manseghe mama bele. Binduono bi nde bíbwi okabuluka binsia bi mburu, bíkanyoõ ya bíkadza yo.One Sabbath Jesus was passing through the grainfields, and His disciples began to pick the heads of grain, rub them in their hands, and eat them.

2Ba-Faridzyẽ babake bályele bo ti: «Mu emakye be lili mu okasa mandagha maala ka bágwi muswa mu etsughu kii Sabate o?»But some of the Pharisees asked, “Why are you doing what is unlawful on the Sabbath?”

3Yiisu ábvuhulu bo bu: «Be ka liikataã ndagha yi ósi Dabvide o, mu matala ma ófuru nde nzala, nde ya ba báli ya nde?Jesus replied, “Have you not read what David did when he and his companions were hungry?

4Bunu nde ásomo mu nzo a Nzaami, ágwolo mampa mama ekaba, áli mo ya ágwi si kundaa ba báli ya nde. Mampa mamo, bo ka báli a muswa mu odza mo o, ŋa yulu a yini a bangaa ba nzaami.»He entered the house of God, took the consecrated bread and gave it to his companions, and ate what is lawful only for the priests to eat.”

5Nde áfirilyele kundaa bo ti: «Mwana a mbwuru li mfumu a Sabate.»Then Jesus declared, “The Son of Man is Lord of the Sabbath.”

6Mu etsughu ekimi kii Sabate, Yiisu ásomo mu nzo a lisamana a ba-Dzwife, ya ábaana oluo. Óli a baghala mutsyini omo wu bágwolo kwogho.On another Sabbath Jesus entered the synagogue and was teaching, and a man was there whose right hand was withered.

7Baluo-mikyene ya ba-Faridzyẽ bákabulutala Yiisu mu omono kala ti nde kughu odzuhu mubyele mu etsughu kii Sabate, mpaala bo babagha ndagha yi baafwunu nde.Looking for a reason to accuse Jesus, the scribes and Pharisees were watching Him closely to see if He would heal on the Sabbath.

8Lo Yiisu bu ágyahaba bitsimi bi bo, ályele kundaa baghala munde wu bágwolo kwogho ti: «Temene ya kala ŋa kara-a-kara ŋa.» Nde átemene ya ákala mu mukiri.But Jesus knew their thoughts and said to the man with the withered hand, “Get up and stand among us.” So he got up and stood there.

9Yiisu ályele kundaa bo ti: «Me mfwulu kundaa be kala ti oli muswa mu ogyighili ma mabwe bwunu we ma mabi, mu obvwuhu bwunu we mu odzwa mbwuru mu etsughu kii Sabate?»Then Jesus said to them, “I ask you, which is lawful on the Sabbath: to do good or to do evil, to save life or to destroy it?”

10Yiisu átala ngulu ya ngulu, nde ályele kundaa baghala munde ti: «Labala kwogho e we!» Nde álabala kye, ya kwogho e nde ébvughuru bu éli nsomo.And after looking around at all of them, He said to the man, “Stretch out your hand.” He did so, and it was restored.

11Lo baluo-mikyene ya ba-Faridzyẽ bákolo nkehe yi alagha ya bákabili bo-a-bo, bunu-a-bo bakughu osa Yiisu.But the scribes and Pharisees were filled with rage and began to discuss with one another what they might do to Jesus.

12Mu bitsughu bibye, Yiisu ágyene ku yulu a munguo mu oyisamana. Nde áluhu mpyibi yohono mu okasamana Nzaami.In those days Jesus went out to the mountain to pray, and He spent the night in prayer to God.

13Bwihi bu buki, nde áti binduono bi nde mbili, ya ásuolo kwumu ya byele (12), ya ágwi bye nkwumu yi bantumu.When daylight came, He called His disciples to Him and chose twelve of them, whom He also designated as apostles:

14Ma me mankwumu ma bo: Simõ, wu ágwi nde nkwumu yi a Piere, Andere mbwee a nde, Dzake, Dzã, Filipe, Baretelemi,Simon, whom He named Peter, and his brother Andrew; James and John; Philip and Bartholomew;

15Matye, Toma, Dzake mwana a Alafe, Simõ wu baakata ti mu-Nzelote,Matthew and Thomas; James son of Alphaeus and Simon called the Zealot;

16Yuda mwana a Dzake, ya Yuda Isikaryote wu aatyeghe nde.Judas son of James, and Judas Iscariot, who became a traitor.

17Bu akumunu munguo emõ ya bo, Yiisu átemene ŋa epere, ŋa óli mpwumu yi nene yi a binduono bi nde, ya mpwumu yi nene yi a baara baba ku Yude lwohono, baba ku Yerusaleme, baba ku mukogho a mubu, baba Tire ya baba Sidõ.Then Jesus came down with them and stood on a level place. A large crowd of His disciples was there, along with a great number of people from all over Judea, Jerusalem, and the seacoast of Tyre and Sidon.

18Bo bwohono bágyi mu ogyughu nde ya mu kuulu nde adzuhu bo mu mabyele mabo. Babo ba ókamwehẽ mifulu mi mibi kimini badzughu.They had come to hear Him and to be healed of their diseases, and those troubled by unclean spirits were healed.

19Mpwumu a baara yohono yíkasagha obyeme nde mu kuulu lileene líkapala munde ya líkadzuhu bo bwohono.The entire crowd was trying to touch Him, because power was coming from Him and healing them all.

20Mu obo, Yiisu bu akaala mihi mi nde kundaa binduono bi nde, ályele ti: «Esee kundaa be bawele, Mu kuulu Emfumu e Nzaami eli Kii ndaa be.Looking up at His disciples, Jesus said: “Blessed are you who are poor, for yours is the kingdom of God.

21Esee kundaa be ba lili mu okpa nzala mu matala ma, mu kuulu be sa ligyughuru. Esee kundaa be ba lili mu okalili mu matala ma, mu kuulu be sa lisebe.Blessed are you who hunger now, for you will be filled. Blessed are you who weep now, for you will laugh.

22Esee kundaa be, kala ti baara babele be, babihi be, batughu be ya balyele mandagha ma mabi mu be, mu nkooro a Mwana a mbwuru».Blessed are you when people hate you, and when they exclude you and insult you and reject your name as evil because of the Son of Man.

23«Limono emiini mu etsughu ekye, ya likala kunsa muyayaã, mu kuulu embwaã e be eli ki enene mu yulu. Bwunu obo si bataara ba be bákasa kundaa mibighili.»Rejoice in that day and leap for joy, because great is your reward in heaven. For their fathers treated the prophets in the same way.

24«Lo, nyiĩ kundaa be bisini, mu kuulu be limaabagha libuono li be!But woe to you who are rich, for you have already received your comfort.

25Nyiĩ kundaa be ba lili kunsa bupfulu mu matala ma, mu kuulu mbala-tsughu be tumu likpa nzala. Nyiĩ kundaa be ba lili mu okasebe mu matala ma, etsughu eli ki liisomo be pfiili ya liilili.Woe to you who are well fed now, for you will hunger. Woe to you who laugh now, for you will mourn and weep.

26Nyiĩ mu matala ma obili baara bwohono mu bubwe bu be, mu kuulu me obo si bataara ba be bákasa kundaa mibighili mimi mpya.»Woe to you when all men speak well of you, for their fathers treated the false prophets in the same way.

27«Lo kundaa be ba lili mu okagyughu me, me ndyele be ti: Liikadzyi mitaara mi be, liikasa bubwe kundaa ba baakabele be.But to those of you who will listen, I say: Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you,

28Liikaseme babo ba baakabiili be bipwolo. Liikabuono Nzaami mu babo ba baakabuulu mpya mu be.bless those who curse you, pray for those who mistreat you.

29Kala ti mbwuru kaha we limpala mu tama, lo taama nde si tama lilike, ya kala ti nde gwohono we enkuru e we ki ela kii kobo, nyaã nde si agwolo enkuru kii mu ntulu.If someone strikes you on one cheek, turn to him the other also. And if someone takes your cloak, do not withhold your tunic as well.

30Nswe munde wu aaluomo we elogho, lo gwa nde kye. Ya kala ti mbwuru gwohono elogho e we, ka firiluomo nde kye o.Give to everyone who asks you, and if anyone takes what is yours, do not demand it back.

31Mandagha ma lidzyi be ti baara bagyighili be mo, behe si ligyighili bumõ kundaa bo.Do to others as you would have them do to you.

32Kala ti be okadzyi babo ba baakadzyi be, lo mu emakye baatuono be? Banga-a-masumu si ti baakadzyi babo ba baakadzyi bo!If you love those who love you, what credit is that to you? Even sinners love those who love them.

33Mu kuulu, kala ti be bubwe okasa kundaa babo ba baakasa be bubwe, lo mu emakye baatuono be? Banga-a-masumu si ti baakasa bumõ.If you do good to those who do good to you, what credit is that to you? Even sinners do the same.

34Kala ti be okasohobo kundaa babo ba lili a be bitsimi ti sa babvurulu, lo emakye baatuono be? Banga-a-masumu si ti baakasohobo kundaa banga-a-masumu, mpaala babvurulu bo bwunu obo si!»And if you lend to those from whom you expect repayment, what credit is that to you? Even sinners lend to sinners, expecting to be repaid in full.

35«Lo be, liikadzyi mitaara mi be, liikasa bubwe, ya liikasohobo wene a okala a etsimi kiili ti sa babvurulu be. Mufuru a be sa akala wu munene, ya be sa likala baana ba Nzaami wu a Ensoõ-Yulu, mu kuulu nde li a mukolo mubwe kundaa ba baagwene okabvurulu matuono, ya kundaa banga-a-mukolo bubi.But love your enemies, do good to them, and lend to them, expecting nothing in return. Then your reward will be great, and you will be sons of the Most High; for He is kind to the ungrateful and wicked.

36Liikakala ya mukolo wu a nyiĩ bwunu a bu oli a Taara a behe si mukolo wu a nyiĩ.»Be merciful, just as your Father is merciful.

37«Ka likalamana banganda o, mpaala banyaã olamana behe si. Ka likabwihi banganda o, mpaala banyaã obwihi behe si. Lisa babake kolokolo, ya sa basa behe si kolokolo.Do not judge, and you will not be judged. Do not condemn, and you will not be condemned. Forgive, and you will be forgiven.

38Likakaba banganda, ya sa bakaba behe si. Sa batsogho bilogho bi biluru mu mankuru ma be, ya sa bakomo bye ku oluru. Mu kuulu, sa bakateese be mu eteese ekye ki liikateese be bambaala.»Give, and it will be given to you. A good measure, pressed down, shaken together, and running over will be poured into your lap. For with the measure you use, it will be measured back to you.”

39Yiisu áfirita bo nkumu yi: «Enkpa-mihi ka ekughu osuo nganda enkpa-mihi nzili o. Kala pele, bo bansa buolo sa bayibwa munsa dzunu.Jesus also told them a parable: “Can a blind man lead a blind man? Will they not both fall into a pit?

40Enduono ka eluru muluo a kye o, ya nkana si mumõ ka luru mfumu a nde o. Lo, nswe munde wu baaluo bubwe, nde sa akala ti muluo a nde.A disciple is not above his teacher, but everyone who is fully trained will be like his teacher.

41Mu ema we li mu okatala mana lisele li lili mu lihi li nganda, ŋaala we li a mubaa a muti mu lihi li weme?Why do you look at the speck in your brother’s eye but fail to notice the beam in your own eye?

42Bwunu we bunu-a-bo we kughu olyele nganda ti: “Ngee a me, nyaã me maha we lisele mu lihi”, ŋaala we mubaa a muti wu li mu lihi li weme omono we? We li mbwuru wu a bifa byele. Matswama maha a ti mubaa a muti wu li mu lihi li we. Ŋa mbihi oŋo, we sa gyighili omono bubwe mu omaha lisele mu lihi li nganda.»How can you say, ‘Brother, let me take the speck out of your eye,’ while you yourself fail to see the beam in your own eye? You hypocrite! First take the beam out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother’s eye.

43«Muti wu mubwe ka kughu oburu bimburu bi bibi o, ya muti wu mubi ka kughu oburu bimburu bi bibwe o.No good tree bears bad fruit, nor does a bad tree bear good fruit.

44Nswe muti okagyahaba mu bimburu bi nde. Ka bakughu oka finge mu munsene-a-nsene o, ya ka bakughu oka bimburu bi bviini mu mungaama o.For each tree is known by its own fruit. Indeed, figs are not gathered from thornbushes, nor grapes from brambles.

45Mbwuru wu mubwe li a bitsimi bi bibwe mu mukolo a nde. Mbwuru wu mubi li a bitsimi bi bibi mu mukolo a nde. Mu engaŋma, muŋma a mbwuru okapaha mi milwulu kunsa mukolo a nde.»The good man brings good things out of the good treasure of his heart, and the evil man brings evil things out of the evil treasure of his heart. For out of the overflow of the heart the mouth speaks.

46«Mu emakye be liikata me “Mfumu, Mfumu”, lo be liigwene okagyighili mandagha ma aakandyele me be?Why do you call Me ‘Lord, Lord,’ but do not do what I say?

47Me sa nsuo be efaana ki mbwuru wu gyi kundaa me, gyughu mandagha ma me ya salala mo.I will show you what he is like who comes to Me and hears My words and acts on them:

48Nde li efaana kii baghala wu aatwu nzo. Nde tsimi miwaghala mi mila ya twu bitsini bi bibagha bi nzo ŋa yulu a limeẽ. Mvulu bu anoõ, ndwuru yigyi mu mwele ya madza mayisiŋi mu nzo oyo ya eturu kyehene, lo yo obwa we, mu buulu bágyighili otwu yo.He is like a man building a house, who dug down deep and laid his foundation on the rock. When the flood came, the torrent crashed against that house but could not shake it, because it was well built.

49Lo munde wu gyughu mandagha ma me ya kuono osalala mo, nde li efaana kii baghala wu aatwu nzo mu yulu a dzyele, ku ogwene a bitsini bi bibagha. Mvulu bu anoõ, ndwuru yigyi mu mwele ya madza mayisiŋi mu nzo ya eturu kyehene, mabwihi nzo ya mabiri yo nkwu-nkwughu.»But the one who hears My words and does not act on them is like a man who built his house on ground without a foundation. The torrent crashed against that house, and immediately it fell—and great was its destruction!”
