Luke 11 (XNJ) · Opened

1Ligono limonga, Yesu avili pandu ayupayi kwa Chapanga. Peamalili, mmonga wa vawuliwa vaki akamjovela, “Bambu, tiwulayi na tete kuyupa kwa Chapanga ngati Yohani chaavawuli vawuliwa vaki.”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 akavajovela. “Pemuyupa kwa Chapanga, mujova naha, Dadi, Liina laku lilumbiwa, Unkosi waku ubwelayi.So Jesus told them, “When you pray, say: ‘Father, hallowed be Your name. Your kingdom come.

3Utipela chakulya chitu cha magono goha.Give us each day our daily bread.

4Utilekekesayi getikubudila Chapanga, ndava muni na tete tikuvalekekesa vevakutibudila. Kotoka kutiyingisa mukulingiwa.”And forgive us our sins, for we also forgive everyone who sins against us. And lead us not into temptation.’”

5Kangi akavajovela vawuliwa vaki, “Yani pagati yinu mweavi na nkozi, na akamhambila pagati ya kilu na kumjovela ‘Mlongo wangu, chondi niyayika mabumunda gadatu na kangi yati nikuwuyisila,Then Jesus said to them, “Suppose one of you goes to his friend at midnight and says, ‘Friend, lend me three loaves of bread,

6ndava muni nkozi wangu anihikalili kuhuma mulugendu, na nene nivii lepi na chakumpela!’because a friend of mine has come to me on a journey, and I have nothing to set before him.’

7Ndi yula wa mugati, ngaamyangwili, ‘Kotoka kuning'aha! Muni, nimali kudinda mlyangu, nene na vana vangu tigonili, nakuhotola kuyimuka kukupela!’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.’

8Nikuvajovela yati iyimuka lepi kuhamba kumpela pamonga na kuvya nkozi waki, nambu ndava ya kukangamala kwaki kuyupa, yati iyimuka na kumpela chochoha cheigana.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.

9Hinu nikuvajovela, muyupa na nyenye yati mwipewa, mulonda yati mwipata, muhodisa mlyangu yati mwidinduliwa.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.

10Muni mundu yeyoha mweiyupa ipewa na mweilonda ipata na mweihodesa mlyangu idinduliwa.For everyone who asks receives; he who seeks finds; and to him who knocks, the door will be opened.

11Muni yani mweavi dadi ndi mwana waki amuyupili somba wu, yati akumpela liyoka pahali pa somba?What father among you, if his son asks for a fish, will give him a snake instead?

12Na ngati amuyupi likang'a yati ampela chipilili?Or if he asks for an egg, will give him a scorpion?

13Hinu nyenye pamonga na uhakau winu, mumanyi kuvapela vana vinu vindu vyabwina, chakaka Dadi winu wa kunani yati ikita na pawaka, muni yati akuvapela Mpungu Msopi vala vevakumuyupa!”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!”

14Ligono limonga Yesu avi mukuuvinga mzuka wewamkitili mundu mmonga kuvya ngajova. Ndi, mzuka ukamuwuka, mundu yula akahotola kulongela, hati msambi wa vandu ukakangasa.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,

15Nambu vandu vangi vakajova, “Ivinga mizuka kwa uhotola wa Belizebuli, mkulu wa mizuka.”but some of them said, “It is by Beelzebul, the prince of the demons, that He drives out demons.”

16Vangi vakamlinga Yesu, vakamgana, akita gachinamtiti kulangisa kuvya uhotola waki uhumili kwa Chapanga.And others tested Him by demanding a sign from heaven.

17Nambu Yesu amanyili maholo gavi, akavajovela, Unkosi wowoha wula, weulekangini chikundi chikundi nakuhotola kusindimala, mewawa na vandu va nyumba yimonga vevalekangini yati viyaga.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.

18Ngati Setani ana chikundi chechikomana chene kwa chene, unkosi waki yati uyima wuli? Nijova genaga ndava nyenye mukunijova nene nivinga mizuka kwa uhotola wa Belizebuli.If Satan is divided against himself, how can his kingdom stand? After all, you say that I drive out demons by Beelzebul.

19Vawuliwa vinu vivinga mizuka ngati mewa chenikita nene. Ndava kyani nyenye mwijova nene nivinga mizuka kwa uhotola wa Belizebuli? Hinu venavo ndi yati vakuvahamula nyenye.And if I drive out demons by Beelzebul, by whom do your sons drive them out? So then, they will be your judges.

20Nambu ngati nivinga mizuka kwa uhotola wa Chapanga, ndi mumanya kuvya Unkosi waki umali kuhika kwinu.But if I drive out demons by the finger of God, then the kingdom of God has come upon you.

21Mundu mweavi na makakala, pailindalila nyumba yaki na vindu vya ngondo, vindu vyaki vyoha vivya bwina.When a strong man, fully armed, guards his house, his possessions are secure.

22Nambu akabwelayi mundu yungi mweavi na makakala neju na kumzangila na kumnyaga vindu vyaki vya ngondo, mundu mwenuyo ihotola kuvitola vindu vyaki vyoha na kuvigavanisa.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“Mundu yoyoha yula mwangalongosana na nene, mwenuyo isigana, na yoyoha yula mweibela kunonga pamonga na nene, mwenuyo ipechengana.”He who is not with Me is against Me, and he who does not gather with Me scatters.

24“Mzuka ngati uvingiwi kwa mundu, ulyungalyunga kulugangatu mukulonda pandu pa kupumulila. Ngati apapati lepi ukujijovela, ‘Yati niwuya kunyumba yangu kwenikahumili.’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.’

25Peiwuya ikolela nyumba yila yitendelikiwi na vindu vivikiwi bwina.On its return, it finds the house swept clean and put in order.

26Ndi, ihamba kuhitola mizuka hingi saba, yeyivi hihakau kuliku mwene, ndi penapo yoha yikumuyingila mundu yula. Mundu mwenuyo hinu wumi waki wivya uhakau neju, kuliku chaakavili lukumbi lwa kutumbula.”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.”

27Paajovayi genago, mdala mmonga mweavi pagati ya msambi wa vandu akajova kwa lwami luvaha, “Limotisiwayi lileme lelikugegili na livele lelakunyong'isi!”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!”

28Yesu akajova, “Vamotisiwa veviyuwana lilovi la Chapanga na kulikamula!”But He replied, “Blessed rather are those who hear the word of God and obey it.”

29Msambi wa vandu pawayonjokisi, Yesu akavajovela, “Chiveleku ichi ndi chihakau, chigana ulangisu kuhuma kunani kwa Chapanga, nambu yati nakupewa ulangisu wowoha manya ngawula wa 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.

30Mewawa Yona chalolikini kuvya ulangisu kwa vandu va ku Ninawi, ndi na Mwana wa Mundu yati ivya chinamtiti kwa chiveleku ichi.For as Jonah was a sign to the Ninevites, so the Son of Man will be a sign to this generation.

31Nkosi wa chidala wa kusini yati ihumila ligono la muhalu ukulu, lukumbi lwa muhalu wa chiveleku ichi na mwene yati ijova chiveleku ichi chibudili. Muni mwene agendili kuhuma mulima wa kutali kubwela kuyuwanila malovi ga luhala ga Nkosi Solomoni, nambu penapa avi mkulu kuliku Nkosi Solomoni.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.

32Vandu va ku Ninawi yati vihumila ligono la muhalu ukulu pamonga na vandu va chiveleku ichi yati vijova chibudili. Muni vandu va Ninawi vamuwuyalili Chapanga ndava ujumbi wa Chapanga weakokwisi Yona. Nambu penapa avi mkulu kuliku 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“Kawaka mundu mweipambika hahi na kuyifiya amala kuyigubika na chiviga, nambu hahi ngati yipambikwi vivika kunani kuchibokoselu, muni yilangasayi bwina mugati mwoha na vandu voha veviyingila valola bwina.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.

34Lihu laku ndi hahi ya higa yaku. Ngati lihu laku livi bwina, higa yaku yivi mulumuli. Nambu lihu laku likoywiki, higa yaku yivi mchitita.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.

35Mujilolayi neju, lumuli lweluvi mugati yaku lukoto kuvya chitita.Be careful, then, that the light within you is not darkness.

36Ndi, ngati higa yaku yoha una lumuli, changali pandu pangi kuvya chitita, higa yaku yati ying'asima ngati hahi cheyilangasa kwa lumuli lwaki.”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 peamali kujova genago, Mfalisayu mmonga amgongolili Yesu kulya chakulya kunyumba yaki ndi Yesu akahamba kwenuko, na akatama kulya.As Jesus was speaking, a Pharisee invited Him to dine with him; so He went in and reclined at the table.

38Mfalisayu yula akakangasa, muni amuweni Yesu asambili lepi kwakona chakulya.But the Pharisee was surprised to see that Jesus did not first wash before the meal.

39Bambu akamjovela, “Nyenye Vafalisayu msanja chikombi na nkeve kuvala, nambu mugati mumemili kugana vindu vyamahele na uhakau.Then the Lord said, “Now you Pharisees clean the outside of the cup and dish, but inside you are full of greed and wickedness.

40Vayimu nyenye! Wu, Chapanga awumbili lepi vya kuvala, na kangi awumbili lepi vya mugati?You fools! Did not the One who made the outside make the inside as well?

41Nambu muvapela vangangu vyevivili mugati, munkele na muchikombi na kila chindu chivyaa chabwina kwa nyenye.”But give as alms the things that are within you, and behold, everything will be clean for you.

42“Yati muchikolela nyenye Vafalisayu, muni mkumpela Chapanga lilundu limonga pagati ya kumi za ndimbilu na libonongo na mahamba gangi ga likolo. Nambu mwileka kuvakitila vandu gegiganikiwa, na kumgana Chapanga. Yikuvagana kugakamula genago changali kukosiwa na gangi gala.”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“Yati muchikolela nyenye Vafalisayu, ndava mwigana kutama muvigoda vya kulongolo munyumba za kukonganekela Vayawudi na kujambuswa na vandu cha kugundamiliwa pavikonganika vandu.Woe to you Pharisees! For you love the chief seats in the synagogues and the greetings in the marketplaces.

44Yati muchikolela, ndava muni muvi ngati matinda gegafiyiki na vandu vigenda panani yaki changamanya.”Woe to you! For you are like unmarked graves, which men walk over without even noticing.”

45Mundu mmonga mweimanya malagizu akamyangula, “Muwula, malovi gaku ukutiliga na tete.”One of the experts in the law told Him, “Teacher, when You say these things, You insult us as well.”

46Yesu akamyangula, “Na nyenye mwemwimanya malagizu yati muchikolela! Muni mukuvagegesa vandu ndwika yeyitopa yangagegeka, na kuni mwavene nakutalambula hata lung'onji kuvatangatila.“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.

47Mwalachikolela nyenye! Muni mwijenga matinda ga vamlota va Chapanga, vavakomiwi na vagogo vinu.Woe to you! For you build tombs for the prophets, but it was your fathers who killed them.

48Mewawa mwavene mwilangisa chakaka na kuyidakila na matendu ga vagogo vinu, muni vene vavakomili vamlota va Chapanga na nyenye mwijenga matinda gavi.So you are witnesses consenting to the deeds of your fathers: They killed the prophets, and you build their tombs.

49Ndava ya genago, luhala lwa Chapanga lwajovili naha, ‘Yati nivaletela vamlota na vamitumi, nambu vangi vikomiwa na vangi yati ving'ahiswa.’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.’

50Ndi vandu va lukumbi ulu yati viyingila mumuhalu, ndava ya lifwa la vamlota va Chapanga voha vevakomiwi kutumbula kuwumbikiwa kwa mulima,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,

51kutumbula peakomiwi Abeli mbaka kukomiwa kwa Zakalia mwevamkomili pagati ya lusanja lwa luteta na pandu pamsopi. Ena chakaka, chiveleku ichi chiyingila mumuhalu ndava ya matendu genago.”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“Mwalachikolela nyenye mwemumanya Malagizu! Muni mufiyili fungulu wa mlyangu wa kumanya, nyenye mwavene nakuyingila, na muvabelalili vevakaliyigila vakotoka kuyingila!”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 pawukili penapo, Vafalisayu na vawula va malagizu kutumbula penapo vakamyomela neju na kumlinga kwa kumkota mambu gamahele,As Jesus went on from there, the scribes and Pharisees began to oppose Him bitterly and to ply Him with questions about many things,

54Muni vagana kumkamula kwa malovi geijova.waiting to catch Him in something He might say.
