Luke 6 (XNJ) · Opened

1Ligono la Kupumulila, Yesu apitayi mumigunda ya nganu. Vawuliwa vaki vakatumbula kudenya njechela za nganu, vakagayogola mumawoko gavi vakalya ngele zaki.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.

2Nambu Vafalisayu vangi vakavakota, “Ndava kyani nyenye mukita chindu chechibesiwi Ligono la Kupumulila?”But some of the Pharisees asked, “Why are you doing what is unlawful on the Sabbath?”

3Yesu akavayangula, “Wu! Mwangasoma cheakitili Daudi na vayaki pevavi na njala?Jesus replied, “Have you not read what David did when he and his companions were hungry?

4Ayingili mu Nyumba ya Chapanga, akatola mabumunda gegavikiwi pandu pa Chapanga, akalya na akavagavila na vayaki. Mabumunda genago gavi ndava ya vamlota va Chapanga ndu, ndi vevalyayi.”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.”

5Kangi akavajovela, “Mwana wa Mundu ndi Bambu wa Ligono la Kupumulila.”Then Jesus declared, “The Son of Man is Lord of the Sabbath.”

6Ligono lingi la Kupumulila, Yesu akahamba munyumba ya kukonganekela Vayawudi kuwula. Kumbi mugati mula avili mundu mmonga mwaapopotwiki chiwoko chaki cha kulyelela.On another Sabbath Jesus entered the synagogue and was teaching, and a man was there whose right hand was withered.

7Vawula va malagizu ga Chapanga geampeli Musa na Vafalisayu vamlolokisi takataka Yesu, valola ngati akumlamisa mundu Ligono la Kupumulila muni valonda lilovi la kumtakila.Looking for a reason to accuse Jesus, the scribes and Pharisees were watching Him closely to see if He would heal on the Sabbath.

8Nambu Yesu agamanyili goha gavaholalela na akamjovela mweagogodili chiwoko yula, “Yimuka, uyima palongolo yavi.” Mundu yula akayima akahamba penapo.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.

9Yesu akavajovela, “Nikuvakota nyenye, malagizu gitu gijova wuli kuyivala Ligono la Kupumulila? Wu, tihotola kukita lijambu labwina amala tihotola kukita lijambu lihakau? Wu, tihotola kusangula wumi wa mundu amala tihotola kukoma?”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?”

10Akavalolokesa vandu voha vevavili penapo, akamjovela mwaapopotwiki chiwoko yula, “Golosa chiwoko chaku.” Mundu yula akagolosa, na akalama chiwoko chaki.And after looking around at all of them, He said to the man, “Stretch out your hand.” He did so, and it was restored.

11Nambu vene vakayoma neju, vakajovesana, vamkitila kyani Yesu.But the scribes and Pharisees were filled with rage and began to discuss with one another what they might do to Jesus.

12Lukumbi luhupu palongolo, Yesu akahamba kuchitumbi kuyupa kwa Chapanga, akatama mihu kilu yoha kumuyupa Chapanga.In those days Jesus went out to the mountain to pray, and He spent the night in prayer to God.

13Chilau yaki lukela, akavakemela vawuliwa vaki, ndi akavahagula vandu kumi na vavili ndi akavakemela vamitumi.When daylight came, He called His disciples to Him and chose twelve of them, whom He also designated as apostles:

14Simoni mewa mwapewili liina lingi na Yesu la Petili, na mbena waki Andelea mlongo waki na Yakobo na Yohani na Filipi na Batolomei,Simon, whom He named Peter, and his brother Andrew; James and John; Philip and Bartholomew;

15Na Matei na Tomasi na Yakobo mwana wa Alufayo na Simoni mweakemeliwi Zelote, ndava avili mundu wa kukengelela mulima waki,Matthew and Thomas; James son of Alphaeus and Simon called the Zealot;

16Na Yuda mwana wa Yakobo na Yuda Isikalioti mweabweli kumung'anamukila Yesu.Judas son of James, and Judas Iscariot, who became a traitor.

17Yesu paahelili kuchitumbi pamonga nawu, akayima pamtambu, penapo pavi na vawuliwa vaki na msambi wa vandu vamahele vakuhuma ku Yudea yoha, na ku Yelusalemu na pamulima wa kumbwani ya ku Tilo na ku Sidoni.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.

18Vandu voha vabweli kumyuwanila Yesu na vevavi na utamu vagana valamisiwayi. Mewa ayihakalili mizuka kuhuma kwa vandu venavo.They had come to hear Him and to be healed of their diseases, and those troubled by unclean spirits were healed.

19Ndi kila mundu alingayi kumpamisa, muni makakala gamuhumayi mwene na kuvalamisa vandu voha.The entire crowd was trying to touch Him, because power was coming from Him and healing them all.

20Yesu akavalola vawuliwa vaki akavajovela, Mhekayi nyenye mwavangangu, muni Unkosi wa Chapanga ndi winu!Looking up at His disciples, Jesus said: “Blessed are you who are poor, for yours is the kingdom of God.

21Mhekayi nyenye mwemuvi na njala hinu, muni yati mwiyukuta! Mhekayi nyenye mwemvemba hinu, muni yati muheka kwa luheku!Blessed are you who hunger now, for you will be filled. Blessed are you who weep now, for you will laugh.

22Mhekayi, nyenye, ngati vandu vavagani lepi, amala kuvabagula, amala kuvaliga na kugahakasa mahina ginu ndava ya Mwana wa Mundu!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.

23Lukumbi genago pegihumila, mhekayi na kukina, muni njombi yinu yivaha kunani kwa Chapanga. Ndava muni vagogo vavi vavakitili vamlota va Chapanga mewawa.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“Nambu mwalachikolela nyenye mwemuvi na vindu vyamahele hinu, ndava mmali kupoleswa mitima, yati mpoleswa lepi kavili mitima yinu.But woe to you who are rich, for you have already received your comfort.

25Mwalachikolela nyenye mwemwiyukuta hinu, muni njala yati yikuvavina! Mwalachikolela nyenye mwemuheka hinu, mwalavemba na kuvya milyangu.”Woe to you who are well fed now, for you will hunger. Woe to you who laugh now, for you will mourn and weep.

26“Mwalachikolela nyenye ngati vandu voha vakuvalumbalila, muni vagogo vavi vavalumbalili vamlota va Chapanga vaudese mewawa.”Woe to you when all men speak well of you, for their fathers treated the false prophets in the same way.

27“Nambu nikuvajovela nyenye mwemukuniyuwanila, muvagana vandu vevavi makoko vinu, muvakitila gabwina vandu vangavagana nyenye.But to those of you who will listen, I say: Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you,

28Muvamotisa vala vevalapikisa likoto, muvawombelayi vala vevakuvakitila gahakau.bless those who curse you, pray for those who mistreat you.

29Ngati mundu yoyoha yula akutovili mulitama, veve mung'anamusila na lingi. Ngati mundu akunyagili likoti laku, mewa veve mulekelayi na nyula.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.

30Mundu yoyoha yula mweakukuyupa chindu veve mpelayi, ngati mudu akunyagi vindu vyaku, veve kotoka kumjovela akuwuyisila.Give to everyone who asks you, and if anyone takes what is yours, do not demand it back.

31Ngati chemwigana vandu vangi vavakitilayi, na nyenye muvakitila vene mewawa.”Do to others as you would have them do to you.

32“Ngati mukuvagana nga vandu vevakuvagana nyenye mwavene, mwipata njombi yoki? Kawaka! Muni na vevakumbudila Chapanga na vene viganana mewa.If you love those who love you, what credit is that to you? Even sinners love those who love them.

33Na, ngati mukuvakitila gakumganisa Chapanga nga vala vevakuvawuyisila, nyenye mwipata njombi yoki? Muni hati vandu vevakumbudila Chapanga, vikita mewawa,If you do good to those who do good to you, what credit is that to you? Even sinners do the same.

34na ngati mukuvayaika vandu vemuvahuvalila vavawuyisilayi ndu, mwipata njombi kiki? Muni na vandu vevakumbudila Chapanga vakuvayayika mewawa vayavi, ndava vawuyisiwayi.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.

35Nambu nyenye muvaganayi makoko vinu, mvakitila gabwina, na pemukuvayaika mkotoka kugana kuwuyisiwa kavili. Ndi penapo njombi yinu yati yivya yivaha na nyenye yati mwivya vana va Chapanga Mkulu. Muni mwene akuvagana vandu vangamsengusa na vahakau.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.

36Muvya na lipyana ngati Dadi winu cheavi na lipyana.”Be merciful, just as your Father is merciful.

37“Mkotoka kuvahamula vangi, na Chapanga yati akuvahamula lepi, mkotoka kuvalaumu vayinu na nyenye yati mwilaumiwa lepi, muvalekelekesa vayinu na Chapanga yati avalekelekesa nyenye.Do not judge, and you will not be judged. Do not condemn, and you will not be condemned. Forgive, and you will be forgiven.

38Muvapela vangi gevigana, na Chapanga yati avapela nyenye, ndi mupokela mulihaku linu. Ndava muni chipimu chichocho chemvahengela vangi na nyenye yati mpokela kuhuma kwa Chapanga, chipimu cha bwina cha kumema na kuhindiliwa na kunyuguswa mbaka kuyitika.”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.”

39Yesu akavajovela luhumu ulu, “Wu, ngalola, ihotola kumlongosa ngalola muyaki? Lepi! Voha yati vidumbukila muligodi.Jesus also told them a parable: “Can a blind man lead a blind man? Will they not both fall into a pit?

40Muwuliwa mkulu lepi kuliku muwula waki, nambu akawuliwayi na kumanya ndi iwanangana na muwula waki.A disciple is not above his teacher, but everyone who is fully trained will be like his teacher.

41Ndava kyani ulola lungoda lweluvi mulihu la mlongo waku, nambu wamwene uvi na lumbagalu mulihu laku?Why do you look at the speck in your brother’s eye but fail to notice the beam in your own eye?

42Uhotola wuli kumjovela mlongo waku, ‘Chondi nikuwusayi lungoda mulihu laku,’ Kuni nakuluwona lumbagalu mulihu laku wamwene? Mweukujikita mbwina veve! Wusa hoti lumbagalu mulihu laku ndi yati ulola bwina kuwusa kabasi mulihu la mlongo waku.”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“Mewawa mkongo wabwina upambika lepi matunda gahakau na wala mkongo uhakau upambika lepi matunda gabwina.No good tree bears bad fruit, nor does a bad tree bear good fruit.

44Mkongo wowoha wula umanyikana ndava ya matunda gaki. Muni vandu viyava lepi matunda ga tini mumkongo wa michongoma na wala viyava lepi zabibu mumbigili.For each tree is known by its own fruit. Indeed, figs are not gathered from thornbushes, nor grapes from brambles.

45Mundu mbwina iwusa vindu vyabwina kuhuma muvindu yveavikili muchibana cha mtima waki na mundu mhakau iwusa vindu vihakau kuhuma muchibana cha mtima waki. Ndava muni mundu ilongela gegamemili mumtima waki.”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“Ndava kyani mukunikemela ‘Bambu, Bambu,’ Kuni mwihenga lepi chenikuvajovela?Why do you call Me ‘Lord, Lord,’ but do not do what I say?

47Nikuvapela luhumu lwa mundu yula mweibwela kwa nene, akugayuwana malovi gangu na kuhenga chenijova.I will show you what he is like who comes to Me and hears My words and acts on them:

48Mwenuyo iwanangana ngati mundu mweijenga nyumba, mwe agimili mkingisa neju mbaka akaukolela litalau, akatumbula kujenga penapo. Peyaumili mfuleni kumema manji gana makakala na kuyitova nyumba yila, nambu nyumba yila yanyugusiki lepi, ndava yajengiwi chakukangamala.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.

49Nambu mundu yula mweiyuwana malovi gangu na ihenga lepi chindu chochoha, mwenuyo iwanangana na mundu mweajengili nyumba panani ya ludaka changali kugima mkingisa neju. Peyahumili mifuleni kumema manji gana makakala, gakayitova nyumba yila, yikagwa na kudenyekana nyiminyimi!”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!”
