Luke 11 (ZAJ) · Opened

1Zua dimwe Yesu kakala yotambika hanhu hamwe. Viyeshile kutambika, mwanahina wake imwe kamulongela, “Mndewa, tufundize kutambika kamba Yohana viyawafundize wanahina zake.”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 kawalongela, “Muhatambika, longeni vino, ‘Tata, twaga jako diyenzigwe, undewa wako wize,So Jesus told them, “When you pray, say: ‘Father, hallowed be Your name. Your kingdom come.

3utugwelele mandia getu ga kila zua,Give us each day our daily bread.

4ugele kumgongo vilozo vetu, kwavija na tweye towagela kumgongo awo wotutendela gehile, na sambiutugele mkugezigwa.’ ”And forgive us our sins, for we also forgive everyone who sins against us. And lead us not into temptation.’”

5Yesu kawalongela wanahina zake, “Tutende munhu imwe mmwanza wenu yachole hang'anda ya mbwigaake ikilo kikulu yolonga, ‘Mbwigaangu, ng'halizi mikate midatu,Then Jesus said to them, “Suppose one of you goes to his friend at midnight and says, ‘Friend, lend me three loaves of bread,

6kwavija mbwigaangu ka mmwanza kabitila hang'anda yangu, na nabule mandia ga kumgwaa!’because a friend of mine has come to me on a journey, and I have nothing to set before him.’

7Na mbwigaako yakwidike yali mng'anda, ‘Sambiungaze! Lwivi luhindigwa lwisha, nie na wanangu twa mulusazi. Sidaha kwinuka nikugwelele kinhu chochose.’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.’

8Nowalongela, hata kamba henuka yakugwelele umkate, kwavija gweye kwa mbwigaake, kokwinuka na kokugwelela kila kinhu kwavija hukonile kinyala kupula ubwelela.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“Avo nowalongeleni puleni, mogweleligwa. Zahileni, movumbula. Toeni hodi, movugulilwa.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.

10Kwavija yoyose yopula kogweleligwa, na yoyose yozahila kovumbula, na yoyose yotoa hodi kovugulilwa.For everyone who asks receives; he who seeks finds; and to him who knocks, the door will be opened.

11Vino hana tata yalihi kumwenu, mwanage yahampula somba yomgwaa nyoka?What father among you, if his son asks for a fish, will give him a snake instead?

12Ama yahampula finga yomgwaa inge?Or if he asks for an egg, will give him a scorpion?

13Ihawa mweye mtenda mbuli zihile, movitanga kuwagwelela wanenu vinhu vinogile, avo, Tata wenu wa kuulanga kabanza ng'hani kuwagwelela Loho wa Mulungu waja wose wompula!”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 kakala yomuwinga kinyamkela yamtendile munhu yawe bubui, na ikinyamkela viyalawile, munhu ija kasonga kulonga, dale da wanhu dikanganya.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,

15Ila wanhu wayagwe walonga, “Kowinga vinyamkela na udaho wa Belizebuli, mkulu wa vinyamkela.”but some of them said, “It is by Beelzebul, the prince of the demons, that He drives out demons.”

16Wayagwe walonda kumwikila vitega Yesu, avo wamulonda yatende mzonza yoneke kamba udaho wake ulawa kuulanga.And others tested Him by demanding a sign from heaven.

17Ila Yesu kagatanga gaja gowokala wogelegeza, avo kawalongela, “Undewa wowose uhaigola wenyego kwa wenyego wopwililika, na kamba mulango uhaigola wenyego wogwa.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.

18Kamba Mwenembago yahaigola mwenyego, undewa wake wokwimaze? Nolonga gano kwavija molonga kamba nowinga vinyamkela na udaho wa Belizebuli.If Satan is divided against himself, how can his kingdom stand? After all, you say that I drive out demons by Beelzebul.

19Kamba nie nowinga vinyamkela na udaho wa Belizebuli, wanenu wowinga vinyamkela na udaho ulihi? Avo wanenu wowa watagusa wenu.And if I drive out demons by Beelzebul, by whom do your sons drive them out? So then, they will be your judges.

20Ila kamba nowinga vinyamkela na mhiko za Mulungu, togoleni kamba Undewa wa Mulungu uwavikila.”But if I drive out demons by the finger of God, then the kingdom of God has come upon you.

21Munhu yali na mhiko, yehemiliza ng'anda yake na via vake va kuiimilizila, vinhu vake vose havibigwa.When a strong man, fully armed, guards his house, his possessions are secure.

22Ila munhu yali na mhiko kubanza heyo yaham'vamhila na kumuhuma, kom'bokonya via vake vose va kuiimilizila voyokala yotamanila na kupwililisa vinhu vayebile.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“Munhu yoyose yalekile kuwa hamoja na nie, konibeza, na munhu yoyose yalekile kukunzanya na nie, kopwililisa.He who is not with Me is against Me, and he who does not gather with Me scatters.

24“Kinyamkela yahamulawa munhu, kochola hanhu halibule mazi yozahila hanhu ha kuhumula. Kamba honile hanhu, kokiilongela mwenyego, ‘Nobwela hang'anda yangu.’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.’

25Avo kobwela koivika ng'anda ifagiligwe na kuhambigwa.On its return, it finds the house swept clean and put in order.

26Abaho, kochola kuwasola vinyamkela wayagwe saba wehile kubanza heyo mwenyego, wokwiza na kumwingila. Avo hali ya munhu ija yokwiha ng'hani kubanza viyakalile haichanduso.”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 viyalongile gano, mtwanzi imwe kenula dizwi kalonga, “Kamota ng'hani mtwanzi ija yakulelile na yakukong'heze.”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 kamulongela, “Wamota ng'haning'hani wanhu waja wotegeleza mbuli za Mulungu na kuzitogola.”But He replied, “Blessed rather are those who hear the word of God and obey it.”

29Wanhu viwammemele womzunguluka Yesu, kasonga kulonga, “Wanhu wa mulelo wihile wozahila kilaguso! Hawagweleligwa kilaguso, ila kilaguso cha 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.

30Kamba vija Yona viyakalile kilaguso cha wanhu wa Ninawi, avo nie, Mwana wa Munhu, nowa kilaguso cha wanhu wa mazua gano.For as Jonah was a sign to the Ninevites, so the Son of Man will be a sign to this generation.

31Hana dizua da nhaguso Malikia wa Sheba kokwima na kuwatagusa wanhu wa mulelo uno, kwavija kachola mwanza mtali kulawa muisi yake keza kutegeleza mafundo gali na ng'hungwe ga Mndewa Selemani, avo nowalongeleni hano hana munhu mkulu kubanza Selemani.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.

32Hana idizua da nhaguso wanhu wa Ninawi vivija wokwima haja hamoja na mweye na wowatagusa mweye, kwavija viwahulike Yona yopeta mbuli za Mulungu, waleka vilozo vao, avo nowalongeleni hano hana munhu mkulu kubanza 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“Haduhu munhu yobwinha kiwenge, abaho, yakifise ama yakigubike na kiteleko, ila kokika uchana hakingolobweda wanhu wehengila mng'anda wone mulangaza.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.

34Kiwenge cha lukuli lwako meso gako. Kamba meso gako gahawa magima, lukuli lwako lose lowa na mulangaza, ila meso gako gahabanangika, lukuli lwako lose lowa mziza.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.

35Teganyeni, mulangaza uli mmwenu sambiuwe ziza.Be careful, then, that the light within you is not darkness.

36Ihawa lukuli lwako lose luna mulangaza, bila kuleka hanhu mziza, avo lukuli lose lomulika, kamba vija kiwenge vikikumulikila na mulangaza wake.”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 viyeshile kulonga, Mfalisayo imwe kamgoneka yachole kumwake yakaje hamoja na heyo, avo kachola, kengila mng'anda kakala hasi yaje.As Jesus was speaking, a Pharisee invited Him to dine with him; so He went in and reclined at the table.

38Ija Imfalisayo kakanganya viyawene kamba Yesu hasonga kusungusa makono kipigiti yahalonda kuja mandia.But the Pharisee was surprised to see that Jesus did not first wash before the meal.

39Avo Mndewa kamulongela, “Mweye Mafalisayo mosungusa hanze ya ikikasi na ichano, ila mgati yenu mmema ubokonyi na wiho.Then the Lord said, “Now you Pharisees clean the outside of the cup and dish, but inside you are full of greed and wickedness.

40Wabozi mweye! Avino si heyo Mulungu yatendile hanze vivija katenda na mgati?You fools! Did not the One who made the outside make the inside as well?

41Avo wagweleleni wakumbulu vinhu vili mchano na mkikasi, avo kila kinhu chong'ala kumwenu.But give as alms the things that are within you, and behold, everything will be clean for you.

42“Mojona Mafalisayo! Molava zaka ya matepo ga kulungila mandia na mboga ziyagwe, ila muleka kutenda ganogile mwa wanhu na kumnogela Mulungu. Molondigwa mtende gano tanhu, na sambimuleke gayagwe.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“Mojona Mafalisayo! Kwavija molonda kukala m'vigoda va haulongozi muna izing'anda za nhambiko na kulamswa m'vigenge va wanhu.Woe to you Pharisees! For you love the chief seats in the synagogues and the greetings in the marketplaces.

44Mojona! Kwavija mweye mwa kamba mapanga galibule viguzo wanhu wogabojaga bila kuvimanya.”Woe to you! For you are like unmarked graves, which men walk over without even noticing.”

45Mfundiza imwe wa Malagizo ga Musa kamulongela Yesu, “Mkulufunzi, uhalonga avo, kotuliga na tweye!”One of the experts in the law told Him, “Teacher, when You say these things, You insult us as well.”

46Yesu kamulongela, “Vivija na mweye wafundiza Malagizo ga Musa, mojona! Kwavija mowadikwa wanhu mibahasha haidahika kupapika, kuno mweye wenyego hamgolosa hata kidole kuwataza.“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.

47Mojona! Kwavija mogazengela goya mapanga ga wahokozi, wawaja wakomigwe na wahenga zenu.Woe to you! For you build tombs for the prophets, but it was your fathers who killed them.

48Avo mwemwe wenyego motogola gaja gawatendile wahenga zenu. Wawakoma wahokozi, na mweye mogazengela mapanga gao.So you are witnesses consenting to the deeds of your fathers: They killed the prophets, and you build their tombs.

49Avo sama ya mbuli ino, Ng'hungwe ya Mulungu ilonga, ‘Nowagalila wahokozi na watumigwa, wayagwe wowakoma na wayagwe wowagaza ng'hani.’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.’

50Avo wanhu wa mulelo uno wotaguswa sama ya wahokozi wose wakomigwe songela isi viilumbigwe,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,

51songela kukomigwa kwa Abeli mbaka kukomigwa kwa Zakalia, yakomigwe hagatigati ya ikilingo cha kulavila nhosa na Hanhu Hang'alile. Ona, nowalongela, wanhu wa mulelo uno wotaguswa sama ya kuwakoma wanhu wano wose!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“Mojona mweye wafundiza Malagizo ga Musa! Kwavija mkisola kivugulilo cha ulwivi lwa ilimu ya kuzimanyila mbuli, mweye wenyego hamwingila, na waja wolonda kwingila mowazuila!”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 viyalawile muja, wafundiza Malagizo ga Musa na Mafalisayo wasonga kum'beza na lusango na kumuuza mbuli bwando,As Jesus went on from there, the scribes and Pharisees began to oppose Him bitterly and to ply Him with questions about many things,

54wompelemba giladi kamba yahalonga gehile, wamnamate.waiting to catch Him in something He might say.
