Luka 12
1 Katema kakoko ŵasongangene ŵandu ŵajinji mpaka kuliŵatana, Che Yesu ŵatandite kwasalila kaje ŵakulijiganya ŵao kuti, “Nlisepusye ni chilungo cha Mafalisayo, chachili cha ulamba.
In the meane time, there gathered together an innumerable multitude of people, so that they trode one another: and he began to say vnto his disciples first, Take heede to your selues of the leauen of the Pharises, which is hypocrisie.
2 Ngachipagwa chachiunichikwe chingachiunukukwa ni chachisisikwe chingachimanyika.
For there is nothing couered, that shall not bee reueiled: neither hidde, that shall not be knowen.
3 Lyele ligongo lyo chachili chose chimwaŵechete pa chipi, ŵandu chapikane pa lilanguka ni chimwasongonaga pa chisyepela, muchumba cheugalikwe, chichijenele muchilambo chose.
Wherefore whatsoeuer yee haue spoken in darkenesse, it shall be heard in the light: and that which ye haue spoken in the eare, in secret places, shall be preached on the houses.
4 “Ngunsalila ŵanyamwe achambusanga ŵangu kuti ngasimwajogopa ŵelewo ŵakuchiulaga chiilu nambo ngapagwa chakupunda chakuchikombola kuchipanganya.
And I say vnto you, my friendes, be not afraide of them that kill the bodie, and after that are not able to doe any more.
5 Nambo chinannosye ŵakusachilwa kwajogopa, mwajogope Akunnungu pakuŵa amalaga kuulaga akwete ulamusi wakumponya ku jehanamu. Eloo, mwajogope ŵelewo. (Geenna g1067)
But I wil forewarne you, who ye shall feare: feare him which after hee hath killed, hath power to cast into hell: yea, I say vnto you, him feare. (Geenna g1067)
6 “Ana ngati ikumanyika kuti ijojolo nsano ikusumichikwa kwa ndalama jajinandi nnope? Nambo ngapagwa chijuni chakuliŵalichikwa ni Akunnungu namuno chimo.
Are not fiue sparowes bought for two farthings, and yet not one of them is forgotten before God?
7 Atamuno umbo sya mitwe jenu Akunnungu akusimanyilila sili silingwa. Ngasinjogopa, ŵanyamwe ndi ŵakutopela kwannope kupunda ijojolo yejinji!
Yea, and all the heares of your head are nombred: feare not therefore: yee are more of value then many sparowes.
8 “Ngunsalila isyene, jwalijose jwakunyitichisya une pa ŵandu kuti jwele ali jwangune, iyoyo peyo Mwana jwa Mundu chachinjitichisya jwelejo mmbujo mwa achikatumetume ŵa kwinani ŵa Akunnungu.
Also I say vnto you, Whosoeuer shall confesse mee before men, him shall the Sonne of man confesse also before the Angels of God.
9 Nambo, jwalijose jwakungana une pa ŵandu, nombejo chakanikwe mmbujo mwa achikatumetume ŵa kwinani ŵa Akunnungu.
But hee that shall denie mee before men, shall be denied before the Angels of God.
10 “Mundu jwalijose jwakwaŵechetela yangalumbana Mwana jwa Mundu chalecheleswe, nambo juchannyelusye Mbumu jwa Akunnungu, ngalecheleswa ng'oo.
And whosoeuer shall speake a woorde against the Sonne of man, it shall be forgiuen him: but vnto him, that shall blaspheme ye holy Ghost, it shall not be forgiuen.
11 “Pachachinjigala kwa machili mmajumba ga kupopelela pane mmbujo mwa mamwenye ni ŵakulamula kuti nlamulikwe, nkapwelela kuti chinjanje chichi pane ichimmechete.
And when they shall bring you vnto the Synagogues, and vnto the rulers and Princes, take no thought howe, or what thing ye shall answere, or what yee shall speake.
12 Pakuŵa Mbumu jwa Akunnungu chanjiganye chakuŵecheta katema kakoko.”
For the holy Ghost shall teache you in the same houre, what yee ought to say.
13 Mundu jumo mumpingo wa ŵandu mula, ŵansalile Che Yesu kuti, “Jwakwiganya, mwasalile akulu ŵangu tusapulane ipanje yatulechele atati ŵetu.”
And one of the companie said vnto him, Master, bidde my brother deuide the inheritance with me.
14 Che Yesu ŵajanjile, “Ambusanga, ana ŵaani ŵamisile une kuŵa jwakulamula pasikati jenu pane jwakungaŵanyichisya ipanje yenu?”
And he said vnto him, Man, who made me a iudge, or a deuider ouer you?
15 Nipele ŵaasalile wose kuti, “Nlisepusye ni tama ja indu yejinji pakuŵa umi wa mundu nganiupagwa mu winji wa indu yakwete.”
Wherefore he said vnto them, Take heede, and beware of couetousnesse: for though a man haue abundance, yet his life standeth not in his riches.
16 Nipele ŵatanjile chitagu chanti, “Kwaliji ni jwachipanje jumo juŵaliji ni ngunda uwasogwele nnope.
And he put foorth a parable vnto them, saying, The grounde of a certaine riche man brought foorth fruites plenteously.
17 Jwachipanje jo ŵaganisisye muntima mwakwe achitiji, ‘Chindende uli pakuŵa une nganingola pakugosela magowolo gangu?’
Therefore he thought with himselfe, saying, What shall I doe, because I haue no roume, where I may lay vp my fruites?
18 Ŵatite ‘Chindende yelei, chingagumule ngokwe syangu ni kutaŵa jajikulungwa nnope. Mwelemo chingaŵiche magowolo gangu gose ga ngano ni ipanje yangu.’
And he said, This wil I do, I wil pul downe my barnes, and builde greater, and therein will I gather all my fruites, and my goods.
19 Pelepo chinalisalile nansyene, ‘Sambano nkwete ipanje yejinji imwaligosele kwa yaka yejinji, mpumule, ndye ni kung'wa ni kusengwa!’
And I wil say to my soule, Soule, thou hast much goods laide vp for many yeeres: liue at ease, eate, drinke and take thy pastime.
20 Nambo Akunnungu ŵaasalile, ‘Mmwejo Jwakuloŵela, achi chilo chino umi wenu chiujigalikwe ni yose indigosele ana chiiŵe ya ŵaani?’”
But God said vnto him, O foole, this night wil they fetch away thy soule from thee: then whose shall those things be which thou hast prouided?
21 Che Yesu ŵamalichisye kuŵecheta, “Yele ni yaili kwa mundu jwakuligosela ipanje yejinji, nambo paujo pa Akunnungu ngakuŵalanjikwa kuti akwete chindu.”
So is he that gathereth riches to himselfe, and is not riche in God.
22 Nipele Che Yesu ŵaasalile ŵakulijiganya ŵao, “Kwaligongo lyo ngunsalila, ngasinlilagasya kwa ligongo lya umi wenu kuti chindye chichi atamuno kwa ligongo lya iilu yenu kuti chimmwale chichi.
And he spake vnto his disciples, Therefore I say vnto you, Take no thought for your life, what yee shall eate: neither for your body, what yee shall put on.
23 Pakuŵa umi upundile kwa yakulya ni chiilu chipundile kwa iwalo.
The life is more then meate: and the body more then the raiment.
24 Ngalole makungulu, ngagakupanda namose kugungula, nganigakola ngokwe namose magulu nambo Akunnungu akugalisya. Ni ŵanyamwe ndi ŵakutopela kugapunda makungulu!
Consider the rauens: for they neither sowe nor reape: which neither haue storehouse nor barne, and yet God feedeth them: how much more are yee better then foules?
25 Nipele, ŵaani mwa ŵanyamwe kwakulichenjeusya nnope akukombola kulijonjechesya namose lyuŵa limo mmoŵa ga umi wakwe?
And which of you with taking thought, can adde to his stature one cubite?
26 Nipele, iŵaga ngankukombola kuchitenda chachinandi mpela chelecho, ligongo chi nkuchenjeuchila ine yo?
If yee then bee not able to doe the least thing, why take yee thought for the remnant?
27 Nnole uluŵa umele wakwe. Ngaukupanganya masengo, atamuno ngaukuliluchila iwalo. Nambo ngunsalila kuti namose mwenye che Selemani ni ukulu wao wose nganawale yambone mpela limo lya uluŵa wo.
Consider the lilies howe they growe: they labour not, neither spin they: yet I say vnto you, that Salomon himselfe in all his royaltie was not clothed like one of these.
28 Nipele iŵaga Akunnungu akulitakusya yeleyo lisamba lya mwitinji lyalikumela lelo ni malaŵi likupatuka ni kwasikwa pa mooto, ana ngati chantakusye kwakupunda ŵanyamwe ŵandi ni chikulupi chamwana?
If then God so clothe the grasse which is to day in the field, and to morowe is cast into the ouen, howe much more will he clothe you, O yee of litle faith?
29 “Nipele, ngasinlajila ichinlye atamuno iching'we namose ngasimma ni lipamba.
Therefore aske not what yee shall eate, or what ye shall drinke, neither hag you in suspense.
30 Pakuŵa yose yo ikuchenjeuchilwa ni ŵandu ŵangakulupilila ŵa ilambo ine ya pachilambo pano. Nambo mwanya Atati ŵenu akumanyilila kuti nkuilajila yele indu.
For all such things the people of the world seeke for: and your Father knoweth that ye haue neede of these things.
31 Nipele nsoseje kaje Umwenye wa Akunnungu ni indu ine chiijonjechekwe kukwenu.
But rather seeke ye after the kingdome of God, and all these things shalbe cast vpon you.
32 “Ngasinjogopa, ŵanyamwe mpingo wenondi! Pakuŵa Atati ŵenu yanonyele kumpa Umwenye wao.
Feare not, litle flocke: for it is your Fathers pleasure, to giue you the kingdome.
33 Nsumisye inkwete nkaape ŵandu ŵakulaga mbiya syo. Nlipanganyichisye ilolo yangawisala ni kuligosela mbiko jangapunguka ni jangamala kwinani. Kwangaŵandichila ŵa wiyi atamuno konasika ni idudu.
Sell that ye haue, and giue almes: make you bagges, which waxe not old, a treasure that can neuer faile in heauen, where no theefe commeth, neither mothe corrupteth.
34 Pakuŵa pajili mbiko jenu, pele ntima wenu ni pachiuŵe.
For where your treasure is, there will your hearts be also.
35 “Nliŵiche chile kwakutumichila ni kuleka imulichilo yenu ininkukolela.
Let your loynes be gird about and your lights burning,
36 Mbe mpela achikapolo ŵakwalindilila ambuje ŵao kutyochela kuulombela kuti pakupoposya ŵaugulile nnango kwachitema.
And ye your selues like vnto men that waite for their master, when he will returne from the wedding, that when he commeth and knocketh, they may open vnto him immediatly.
37 Ŵana upile ŵele achikapolo ŵachachasimana ali meeso pachauje Ambuje ŵao! Isyene ngunsalila kuti ambuje wo chaaŵe chile kwatumichila, chiŵatamiche pakulila ni kwatumichila.
Blessed are those seruants, whom the Lord when he commeth shall finde waking: verely I say vnto you, he will girde himselfe about, and make them to sit downe at table, and will come forth, and serue them.
38 Iŵaga chauje pasikati chilo pane atamuno kuninkucha ni kwasimana ali meeso, ŵana upile achikapolo wo.
And if he come in the seconde watch, or come in the third watch, and shall finde them so, blessed are those seruants.
39 Nambo mmanyilileje kuti iŵaga nsyene nyuumba akakamanyilile katema chi chaiche jwa wiyi, akaliji meeso, ngakajileche nyuumba jakwe jininkugumulikwa.
Nowe vnderstand this, that if the good man of the house had knowen at what houre the theefe would haue come, he would haue watched, and would not haue suffered his house to be digged through.
40 Ŵanyamwe nombe nliŵiche chile, pakuŵa Mwana jwa Mundu akwika katema kangankulolela.”
Be ye also prepared therefore: for the Sonne of man will come at an houre when ye thinke not.
41 Che Petulo ŵausisye Che Yesu kuti, “Ambuje, ana chitagu chi chikutugamba uweji pe pane ŵandu wose?”
Then Peter saide vnto him, Master, tellest thou this parable vnto vs, or euen to all?
42 Ambuje ŵajanjile, “Ana kapolo jwakwimilila chi jwali jwakukulupilichika ni jwalunda, jwaŵichikwe ni ambujegwe kwajimilila achikapolo ŵao kuti ŵagaŵanyichisye yakulya pa katema kakusachilwa?
And the Lord saide, Who is a faithfull steward and wise, whom the master shall make ruler ouer his householde, to giue them their portion of meate in season?
43 Jwana upile kapolo juchasimanikwe ni ambujegwe ali nkupanganya yele katema pachauje.
Blessed is that seruant, whom his master when he commeth, shall finde so doing.
44 Isyene ngunsalila kuti ambujegwe chambiche kapolojo kwimilila ipanje yakwe yose.
Of a trueth I say vnto you, that he wil make him ruler ouer all that he hath.
45 Nambo, jwakutumichila ajilaga muntima mwakwe kuti, ambuje ŵangu akukaŵa kuuja ni kutanda kwaputa achikapolo achinjakwe achalume pane achakongwe ni kulya ni kung'wa ni kukolelwa,
But if that seruant say in his heart, My master doeth deferre his comming, and ginne to smite the seruants, and maydens, and to eate, and drinke, and to be drunken,
46 ambujegwe kapolo jula chauje pa lyuŵa lyangalilolela ni katema kangakukamanyilila chiŵakatanye ipande ipande ni kwaŵika liunjili limo ni ŵangakukulupilila.
The master of that seruant will come in a day when he thinketh not, and at an houre when he is not ware of, and will cut him off, and giue him his portion with the vnbeleeuers.
47 “Ni kapolo jwakumanyilila chakuchisaka ambujegwe, nambo ngakuliŵika chile kwa kupanganya yakusachilwa kupanganya ni ambujegwe, chaputikwe kwa nnope.
And that seruant that knewe his masters will, and prepared not himselfe, neither did according to his will, shalbe beaten with many stripes.
48 Nambo jwangakuimanyilila indu yakuisaka ambujegwe nombe akupanganya indu yaikuŵajilwa kulagaswa chaputikwe kwakanandi. Pakuŵa jwalijose juchapegwe yejinji chasachilwe kutyosya yejinji ni jwalijose jwapegwile kamulila yejinji chasachilwe kuusya yejinji nnope.
But he that knewe it not, and yet did commit things worthy of stripes, shall be beaten with fewe stripes: for vnto whomsoeuer much is giuen, of him shalbe much required, and to whom men much commit, the more of him will they aske.
49 “Nyiche kukukolesya mooto pachilambo, none ngasachile nnope kuulola uli ukolele!
I am come to put fire on the earth, and what is my desire, if it be already kindled?
50 Nambo ngwete ubatiso wa masausyo gangusachilwa nagakole, nguŵijikanywa nnope mpaka masausyo ga ubatiso wo pachigamale.
Notwithstanding I must be baptized with a baptisme, and how am I grieued, till it be ended?
51 Ana nkuganisya kuti nyiche nacho chitendewele pachilambo pano? Ngunsalila, ngwamba, nambo nyiche kukuntindanya.
Thinke ye that I am come to giue peace on earth? I tell you, nay, but rather debate.
52 Kutandila sambano, ŵandu nsano ŵa uŵelesi umo chatindigane, ŵandu ŵatatu chaputane ni ŵandu ŵaŵili ni ŵandu ŵaŵili chaputane ni ŵandu ŵatatu.
For from hencefoorth there shall be fiue in one house deuided, three against two, and two against three.
53 Atati chatindane ni mwanagwao nombe mwanache chatindane ni atatigwe, achikulu chatindane ni mwanagwe mwali nombe mwali chatindane ni achikulugwe, jwankongwe chatindane ni akwegwao nombe ŵelewo chatindane ni nkwegwao.”
The father shalbe deuided against ye sonne, and the sonne against the father: the mother against the daughter, and the daughter against the mother: the mother in lawe against her daughter in lawe, and the daughter in lawe against her mother in lawe.
54 Che Yesu ŵajisalile sooni mipingo ja ŵandu kuti, “Pankugawona maunde ganinkutyochela kulikutiŵilila lyuŵa, papopo ni nkuti lelo chijinye ula ni jikunya.
Then said he to the people, When ye see a cloude rise out of the West, straightway ye say, A shower commeth: and so it is.
55 Pajikupuga mbungo kutyochela kulujenda nkuti, ‘Lyuŵa chiliŵale lelo’ ni iyoyo peyo ikutyochela.
And when ye see the South winde blowe, ye say, that it wilbe hoate: and it commeth to passe.
56 Ŵanyamwe ŵa ulamba, nkukombola kulondola iichiŵe lelo kwakulola chilambo ni kwinani kwachichi nipele nkulepela kugamanyilila malumbo gakatemaka?
Hypocrites, ye can discerne the face of the earth, and of the skie: but why discerne ye not this time?
57 “Sooni kwachichi ngankulilamulila mwachimisyene chachili chambone chakuchipanganya?
Yea, and why iudge ye not of your selues what is right?
58 Pakuŵa ikaliji yambone ntende yaili yose kwilana nawo jwammagongo nli mwitala. Iŵaga ngaŵa yeleyo chanjausye kwa jwakulamula nombejo chanjausye kwa jwangondo nombejo champonye mu nyuumba jakutaŵilwa.
While thou goest with thine aduersarie to the ruler, as thou art in the way, giue diligence in the way, that thou mayest be deliuered from him, least he drawe thee to the iudge, and the iudge deliuer thee to the iayler, and the iayler cast thee into prison.
59 Ngunsalila isyene kuti ngantyoka mwelemo mpaka pachimmalisye kulipa mbiya ja mbesi.”
I tell thee, thou shalt not depart thence, till thou hast payed the vtmost mite.
