Luke 11 (ZGAM) · Opened

1Gwahunule usikhiU Yisu upu eusayaga mwene, ukhongiyumo ambulile, “Itwa, utumanyisye ufwe ukhwisaya ndu Yohani umuavaama nyisye avakhongi vamwene.'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.”

2U Yisu akhavavula, vumukhisaya, 'Munjovage, 'Dada, ilitawa lyako limikhiwe. uvutwa wakho winchage.So Jesus told them, “When you pray, say: ‘Father, hallowed be Your name. Your kingdom come.

3Utupinchage ikhisyesye kyitu ikya sikhu nchoni.Give us each day our daily bread.

4Utusyiekhilage inogwa nchitu, ndavutukhuvasyikhila avange voni avatunangile. Utatuvikhaga indugelo.”And forgive us our sins, for we also forgive everyone who sins against us. And lead us not into temptation.’”

5U Yisu akhavavula, “Veni khulyumwe iva nu gane va mwene, uvikhunelutila pakhilo nu khubula ugane ukhuta unyanchime ifisyesye fidatu.Then Jesus said to them, “Suppose one of you goes to his friend at midnight and says, ‘Friend, lend me three loaves of bread,

6Ukhuva umanyani vango anyinchile lino ukhuhuma khusafari, une nilinchila khinu ikya khupa.'because a friend of mine has come to me on a journey, and I have nothing to set before him.’

7Nulu ungale igati akhanda, ulangata nchaga, undyango gufungiwe na vavana vango, tumalile ukhuluta gwigona saniwesye ukhusisinuka ne khupe uve ikhi syesye.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.’

8Nikhuvavula, ndave sisimkha nu khukhupa ikhisyesye ingave umanyani vakho ikwendelela ukhugonga khisita isoni, isisimukha nu khukhupa ifivungutikhilo inya khisyesye ukhuhwanana nu muvunogelwa uve.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.

9Navyune nikhuvavula nita, wiwisayage, ayumwikwidikhiwa lomelaga yumwipata, hodenchaga ikhikhuvadintulila.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.

10Ulwakhuva umunu uviavenchaga angadovage vikhupa uviilonda ikhupilila, nu vikhohona vikhudindulila.For everyone who asks receives; he who seeks finds; and to him who knocks, the door will be opened.

11Veni udada mugati indyufwe umwana, angadove isomba ikhupa injokha?What father among you, if his son asks for a fish, will give him a snake instead?

12Angadove ilikhala ikhupa inge?Or if he asks for an egg, will give him a scorpion?

13Lino, ulwakhuva umwe mlinuwwivu, mlumanyile ukhuvapa avana vinyu uluhovokhilo ulunonu, lino udada uvakhu kyanya syio fincho? Ukhuta ikhuvapa umepo umbalanche khu vala avikhudova?”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!”

14Pu ugunge usikhi, u Yisu alikhu vinga khuminguluve, nu munu unyaminguluve nu nyamisetano akhava khitanchova. Ilisetano lyavile lihegile khumunu uyo, umunu uyo awesinche ukhunchova avanu vadegile fincho.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,

15Avange vagelile wakhata uyu ihencha amanguluve aga Beelzebul, umbaha va mnguluvebut some of them said, “It is by Beelzebul, the prince of the demons, that He drives out demons.”

16Avange vagelile nukhulondo avavonesyie ulugelo ukhuhuma khukyanya.And others tested Him by demanding a sign from heaven.

17Pu u Yisu agamanyile amasago gaaaavene nukhuvavu, “Uvutwa uvuyakhiva vugava yumwa wene, ne khya yiyo yigavile yuyigwa.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.

18Ingave undugu usetano iva agevile, uvutwa wamwene ayuvukwima ndakhikhi? Ulwakhuva mwinchova, mwita ncheucha amanguluve aga BelzebuliIf Satan is divided against himself, how can his kingdom stand? After all, you say that I drive out demons by Beelzebul.

19Ingave une nihencha amanguluve ga Beelzebuli, lino avanyinyo vihencha amanguluve khu nchila yilikhu? ulwakhuva iyi, avene yuvikhu vahiga umweAnd if I drive out demons by Beelzebul, by whom do your sons drive them out? So then, they will be your judges.

20Lino, umwe ingave muhencha amanguluve khu khivokho kya Nguluve, pu uvutwa wa Nguluve vuvinchile.But if I drive out demons by the finger of God, then the kingdom of God has come upon you.

21Umunu uvyalinamakha alinifilwilo ifyakhulolela uvunjenge wa mwene, ikyuma ni finu fitaneavunonu.When a strong man, fully armed, guards his house, his possessions are secure.

22Lino vangavamile umunu unyamakha ukhulutilila, nu munu uvya linamakha angapokhe ifilwilo vyamwene, nu khutola ikyuma kyamwene kyoni.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.

23Umwene uvialikhutali nune hange, khusana khulyune nu khusitaukhulundanya paniye une niyevaniya.He who is not with Me is against Me, and he who does not gather with Me scatters.

24Amanguluve amavivi agagihuma khumunu, gagiluta nu khulonda baho amagasi pungale nu khukhekha. Upuyakhiva awene alemilwe, pu inchova, ninogwa ukhukhilivusukho ukhunahumile.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.’

25Angavuye nu khuvona uvunjenge wa mwene, vukhuniwe nu khutama vunonu.On its return, it finds the house swept clean and put in order.

26Lino puiluta khulonda amanguluve 7 avavivi ukhulutilila umwene nu khuvagega vatame upualipo. Nu munu numunu uyo iviva nu vupala fincho, ukhulutilila.”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.”

27Wahumile ukhunchova amamenyu ago udala yumo ahuminche ilimenyu khuvukhali, ukhulutilila khuvoni khululundamano ulwa vanu nu khunchova,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!”

28“Ligatalufu ilitumbu ililyakhu holilene livele iliwaohile” Umwene akhanchova akhata vasayiwe avavipulikha ilimenyu lwa Nguluve nu khulivika vunonu.But He replied, “Blessed rather are those who hear the word of God and obey it.”

29Pu usikhi ugwa vanuvuvikhindamaniya nu kwongesekha, u Yisu akhatengula ukhunchova “Ikhivumbukho ikhi ikhivumbukho vuvivi, khilonda khuvonesya nu khuta khisikhuli ikya khuvonesya ikhivapatile ukhulutilila nu YonaAs 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.

30Uvunonu nu Yona upuale nu khuvanesya khu vanu ava khu Ninawi, vuyayiva nu mwana va Adamu uvuyakhivaiva ukhuvonesya khu khisasi ikhiFor as Jonah was a sign to the Ninevites, so the Son of Man will be a sign to this generation.

31U Malkia vakhu kusini ayikwima ikhigano ikya vuhigi na vanu ava khisasi ikhi nu khuvahiga avene ilwakhuva avene vahumile khu vumalilo wa khilunga ukhuta inche apulihinche uvuelwada uva Solomoni, na apo pwale uviale imbaha ukhulutilila.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.

32Avanu va khu Ninawi ayuvikwima khu vuhigi, ulwakhuva va khuti uvusiyiekhilo uva limenyu ilya Yona nu khulola, apa khwale umbaha, ukhulutilila u 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.

33Asikhuli umunu avavenchaga uvikhunga ikhoroboi nu khuvikha pasi pa hisi yilekhe ukhuvone kha pasi pa khitunda, umwene ikhunga nu khuvikha pa kyanya pa khunu ukhuta umunu nu munu uvikwingila aluvonage ulumuli.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.

34Iliho lyakho lumuli lwa mbili gwakho iliho ligave linonu nu mbili gwiva inonu gwiva ndumuli.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.

35Lino iliho lyakho lingawe liva liviviv numbili gwiva imbivi gwoni gwiva muhisi. Lino mwilolelaga, ukhuta ulumuli lulwa lulimugati indyumwe lulekhe ukhuvikhiwa ihisi.Be careful, then, that the light within you is not darkness.

36Lino valume ingave, umbili gwakho gwoni guli mundumuli pu khusikhuli ukhuva muhisi, pu khukhuta umbili gwakho gu hwanana ne khorobui iyikhwakha nu khuhumya ulumuli khulyumwe.”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.”

37Avile amalile ukhunejova, Farisayo adovile akhale ikyakhulya khukya ya mwene. Nu U Yisu akhungila mgati nu khuva pa nuye numwene.As Jesus was speaking, a Pharisee invited Him to dine with him; so He went in and reclined at the table.

38Na Vafarisayo vakhaswiga ukhuva sakhalave amavokho vusategwile ukhulya ikyakhulya ikhya khukhimihe.But the Pharisee was surprised to see that Jesus did not first wash before the meal.

39Pu khuludeva akhavavula, “Umwemwi Vafarisayo mwisukha ifikhombe khunchi ne bakhuli, humbe mugati indyumwe mudigile unogwe uvuvi.Then the Lord said, “Now you Pharisees clean the outside of the cup and dish, but inside you are full of greed and wickedness.

40Umwe mwi vanu yumwe munchila khulumanya, ingave uviapelile khunchi lino sa pele na gati?You fools! Did not the One who made the outside make the inside as well?

41Vapinchage avaganju agagati ni mbombo nchoni nchiva nonu khulyamwe.But give as alms the things that are within you, and behold, everything will be clean for you.

42Lino mwilolilage Vafarisayo, ukhuta muhumya isadaka iya mnanaa nu chicha ni kyavenchago ukhuhuma khukyalo. Pu umwe mugalekhile agavuyilweli nu khubela agaNguluve. Lunonu fincho ukhuvomba agavuyelweli nu khugana u Nguluve, khista khuvomba ago.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.

43Mwikyole mwiVafarisayo ukhuva mwinogwa ukhutama mufigoda ifya khuvulongolo khu masinagogi nu khukhuponya ukhufugamo.Woe to you Pharisees! For you love the chief seats in the synagogues and the greetings in the marketplaces.

44Mwilolelage mukwanana na mapuvuba aganchila khimanyilo kya munu pe avanu vigenda pa kyanya khista khulunya.”Woe to you! For you are like unmarked graves, which men walk over without even noticing.”

45Umanyisi yamo uva ndagilo incha vayahudi akhanda nu khuvavula, “Imanyisi, ikhiwinchova khikhutukhalanja nayufwe.”One of the experts in the law told Him, “Teacher, when You say these things, You insult us as well.”

46U Yisu akhanchova, “Mwilolelage, indagilo ulwakhuva mukhuvapa avanu iminchigo imivaha igisaviwesye ukhwitwikha, lino umwe samu palamasya iminchigo igyo vulevule ukhutwanana mekhi melelenchi ikya mavokho gito.“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.

47Mwilolelage ulwakhuva mujenga nukhuvikha ikhi khumbuhincha khu khumapumba agavanyamalago avuvabudiwe na vakhukhu vito.Woe to you! For you build tombs for the prophets, but it was your fathers who killed them.

48Lino numwe mukhwidikiwa nu khwidikha khumbombo inchivavobile avakhukhu vito ulwakhuva vavabudile avanyamalago kya mapumba gavene.So you are witnesses consenting to the deeds of your fathers: They killed the prophets, and you build their tombs.

49Ulwakhuva khuvunonu uwa Nguluve inchova ita, “Nikhuvasuhila avanyamalago na valumbeleli avene vikhuvatesya nnu khuvabuda avange.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.’

50Ikhivumbukhu ikhi yukhivomba khukhisa ugwa vanyamalago avuvabudiwe ukhuhuma pavutengulilo wa khilunga,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,

51Ukhuhuma ukhisa gwa Abeli nukhisa ugwa Zakaria, uviabudiwe pagati pa khitekhela pa vuvalanche. Lweli, ni khuvavula umwe, mwe vakhivumbukho ikhi ayukhivomba.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.

52Mwilolelage mwi vamanyisi va ndagilo incha khiyahudi, ulwakhuva mtolile indindulilo incha vutwa, nu mwe samukhwingila, na vavinogwa ukhwingela, mukhuvakhilwala.”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.”

53Usikhi u Yisu ugwa khuhega pala, avavigi na Mafarisayo vabelile nu khugatanchiwa nu khuhigiwa, khu mbombo inyingi.As Jesus went on from there, the scribes and Pharisees began to oppose Him bitterly and to ply Him with questions about many things,

54Vagelile ukhumwibeta khumamenyu ga mwene.waiting to catch Him in something He might say.
