< Luke 12 >
1 During which time the myriads of the multitude having gathered together so as to trample each other, he began first to say to his disciples, Take heed to yourselves from the leaven of the Pharisees, which is hypocrisy.
AND when (there) had gathered (by) myriads great assemblies, so that they would have trodden upon one another, Jeshu began to say to his disciples, Beware for yourselves before all things of the leaven of the Pharishee, which is hypocrisy.
2 But there is nothing covered up that will not be revealed, and hidden that will not be known.
For nothing is hidden which shall not be revealed, and nothing secreted which shall not be made known.
3 Therefore, as many things as ye have said in the darkness will be heard in the light, and what ye have spoken in the ear in the inner chambers will be proclaimed upon the housetops.
For all that you say in darknesses in the light shall be heard, and what you whisper in the ear in closets shall be proclaimed on the housetops.
4 And I say to you my friends, Be not afraid of those who kill the body, and after these things not having anything more severe to do.
But I say to you, my beloved ones, Fear not them who kill the body, and who afterward can do nothing more;
5 But I will show you whom ye should fear. Fear him, who, after killing, has power to cast into hell. Yes, I say to you, fear ye him. (Geenna )
but I will show you whom you shall fear; Him who, after he hath killed, hath power to cast into gihana, yes, I say to you, Fear this (one). (Geenna )
6 Are not five sparrows sold for two copper coins? And not one of them is forgotten in the sight of God.
Are not five sparrows sold for two asorin; and one of them is not forgotten before Aloha.
7 But even the hairs of your head are all numbered. Fear not, therefore, ye are superior to many sparrows.
But of you, the numbers of the hairs of your head are all numbered. Fear not, therefore; than many sparrows more precious are you.
8 And I say to you, every man who will confess in me before men, the Son of man will also confess in him before the agents of God,
But I tell you that every one who shall confess me before men, the Son of man will also confess him before the angels of Aloha.
9 but he who denies me in the presence of men will be denied in the presence of the agents of God.
But he who denieth me before men, I will deny him before the angels of Aloha.
10 And every man who will speak a word against the Son of man, it will be forgiven him, but to him who blasphemed against the Holy Spirit it will not be forgiven.
And every one who shall speak a word against the Son of man, it may be forgiven him; but whoever against the Spirit of Holiness shall blaspheme, it shall not be forgiven him.
11 And when they bring you to the synagogues, and the principle positions, and the offices of authority, be not anxious how or what ye should answer in defense, or what ye should say,
And when they bring you into the synagogues, before heads and authorities, be not anxious how you shall express yourselves, or what you shall say;
12 for the Holy Spirit will teach you in the same hour what ye ought to say.
for the Spirit of Holiness will teach you in that hour what you ought to say.
13 And a certain man out of the crowd said to him, Teacher, speak to my brother to divide the inheritance with me.
AND a man from the assembly said to him, Malphona, tell my brother to divide with me the inheritance.
14 But he said to him, Man, who appointed me a judge or an arbitrator over you?
But Jeshu said to him, Man, who established me over you a judge and a divider?
15 And he said to them, Watch, and keep away from greed, because to any man, life to him is not in the abundance of things possessed by him.
And he said to his disciples, Beware of all avarice: for life is not in the abundance of riches.
16 And he spoke a parable to them, saying, The land of a certain rich man brought forth well.
And he spake a parable to them: The ground of a certain rich man produced him much provisions.
17 And he pondered within himself, saying, What shall I do, because I have nowhere I will store my crops?
And he thought within himself, and said, What shall I do? for I have not where to collect my provisions.
18 And he said, I will do this. I will dismantle my barns, and I will build greater, and there I will store all my grain and my goods.
And he said, This will I do: I will destroy my house of stores, and will build and enlarge it; and there will I collect all my provender and my good things:
19 And I will say to my soul, Soul, thou have many goods laid up for many years. Take thine ease, eat, drink, be merry.
and I will say to my soul, My soul, thou hast many good things laid up for many years: be at ease, eat, drink, and be merry.
20 But God said to him, Thou foolish man, they demand thy soul from thee this night, and the things that thou prepared, whose will they be?
But Aloha said to him, Reasonless (man)! this night thy soul they shall require of thee; and then, (the things) which thou hast prepared,
21 So is he who stores up for himself, and is not being rich toward God.
whose shall they be? So is he who layeth up to himself treasures, and towards Aloha is not rich.
22 And he said to his disciples, Because of this I say to you, be not anxious for your life, what ye may eat, nor for the body, what ye may wear.
And he said to his disciples, Therefore I tell you, Be not anxious for yourselves, what you shall eat; neither for the body, how you shall dress:
23 For the life is more than the food, and the body, the clothing.
for the soul is more precious than food, and the body than raiment.
24 Consider the ravens, because they do not sow, nor do they reap, for which there is no storehouse nor barn, and God feeds them. How much ye are worth more than the birds.
Consider the ravens, which sow not nor reap, which have no chambers or barns, yet Aloha feeds them. How much, therefore, are you better than the fowls!
25 And which of you by being anxious can add one cubit to his age?
And which of you by being anxious could add to his stature one cubit?
26 If then ye are not able to do even the least, why are ye anxious about the rest?
But if indeed you are not capable of (that which is) the least, why concerning the rest are you anxious?
27 Consider the lilies, how they grow. They toil not, nor do they spin, and I say to you, not even Solomon in all his glory was arrayed like one of these.
Consider the lilies, how they grow, which toil not nor spin; but I tell you that even Shelemun in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these.
28 And if God so clothes the grass in the field, which today is, and tomorrow being cast into the oven, how much more you, O ye of little faith?
But if the herbage, which today is in the field, and to-morrow is cast into the furnace, Aloha thus clothes, how much more you, little in faith!
29 And do not seek what ye may eat, and what ye may drink, and do not be unsettled.
And seek you not what you shall eat, and what you shall drink; nor let your mind be distracted for these:
30 For the nations of the world seek all these things, and your Father knows that ye have need of these things.
for all these the nations of the world seek; but to you also your Father knoweth that these are needful.
31 However, seek ye the kingdom of God, and all these things will be added to you.
But seek the kingdom of Aloha, and these all shall be added to you.
32 Fear not, little flock, because your Father is well pleased to give you the kingdom.
FEAR not, little flock; for your Father hath willed to give you the kingdom.
33 Sell things possessed by you, and give charity. Make for yourselves purses not becoming old, a treasure unfailing in the heavens, where no thief approaches, nor moth corrupts.
Sell your substance, and give alms: make to you bags which become not old, and a treasure which is not transient, in the heavens, where the thief does not approach, and the moth destroys not.
34 For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.
For where your treasure is, there will be also your heart.
35 Let your loins be girded about, and the lights burning,
Let your loins be bound, and your lamps be burning,
36 and be ye like men waiting for their lord, when he may return from the wedding festivities, so that when he comes and knocks, they may straightaway open to him.
and be you like men who wait for their lord, when he shall return from the place of festivity, that, when he hath come and knocked, immediately they may open to him.
37 Blessed are those bondmen whom the lord when he comes will find watching. Truly I say to you, that he will gird himself, and will cause them to sit down, and having come, will serve them.
Blessed those servants who, when their lord shall come, shall be found watching. Amen I tell you, He will gird his loins, and make them recline, and will come over and serve them.
38 And if he should come in the second watch, and should come in the third watch, and find so, blessed are those bondmen.
And if in the second or the third watch he shall come and find them thus, blessed will be those servants.
39 But know this, that if the house-ruler had known in what hour the thief was coming, he would have watched, and would not have allowed his house to be broken into.
But this know, that if the lord of the house had known in what watch the thief would come, he would have watched, and not have permitted his house to be dug through.
40 Therefore, ye also become ready, because the Son of man comes at that hour ye do not suppose.
Also you, be you therefore ready: for, in that hour that you think not, cometh the Son of man.
41 And Peter said to him, Lord, did thou speak this parable to us, or also to all?
Shemun Kipha said to him, Our Lord, to us speakest thou this parable, or to all men also?
42 And the Lord said, Who then is the faithful and wise manager whom his lord will appoint over his service to give the provision on time?
Jeshu said to him, Who then is that steward, faithful and wise, whom his lord hath established over his service, to give the portion in its time?
43 Blessed is that bondman whom his lord when he comes will find so doing.
Blessed that servant whom, when his lord shall come, he shall find so doing.
44 Truly I say to you, that he will appoint him over the things being possessed by him.
Assuredly I tell you, He will establish him over all his substance.
45 But if that bondman should say in his heart, My lord is late to come, and should begin to beat the servant boys and the servant girls, and to eat and drink, and to be drunken,
But if that servant shall say in his heart, My lord withholdeth to come, and shall begin to beat the servants and the handmaids of his lord, and shall begin to eat and to drink and be drunken;
46 the lord of that bondman will arrive in a day that he does not expect, and in an hour that he is not aware, and will cut him in two, and will place his portion with the unbelieving.
the lord of that servant will come in a day when he thinketh not, and in an hour which he knoweth not; and shall sunder him, and set him his portion with those who are not faithful.
47 And that bondman who knew his lord's will, and who did not prepare, nor do according to his will, will be beaten much,
And that servant who knew the will of his lord, and prepared not himself according to his will, shall be beaten with many
48 but he who did not know, and did things worthy of blows, will be beaten little. And to every man to whom much was given, much will be required from him. And to whom they entrust much, they will ask him more abundantly.
But he who knew not, and did that which was worthy of stripes, shall be beaten with few stripes. For every one to whom much is given, much will be required from him; and to whom much is committed, the more will they require at his hand.
49 I came to cast fire upon the earth, and what I desire is if it were kindled already.
FIRE have I come to send forth upon the earth, and I would that it already burned:
50 But I have an immersion to be immersed, and how am I constrained until it will be accomplished.
and I have a baptism (wherewith) to be baptized, and greatly am I pressed till it be completed.
51 Do ye suppose that I came to give peace on the earth? I tell you, no, but rather division.
Suppose you that peace I have come to send forth on the earth? I tell you, not (peace), but divisions.
52 For henceforth there will be five in one house divided, three against two, and two against three.
For from henceforth there will be five in one house, who (will be) divided, three against two, and two against three.
53 A father will be divided against a son, and a son against a father, a mother against a daughter, and a daughter against a mother, a mother-in-law against her daughter-in-law, and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law.
For the father will be divided against his son, and the son against his father; the mother against her daughter, and the daughter against her mother; the mother-in-law against the daughter-in-law and the daughter-in-law against the mother-in-law.
54 And he also said to the multitudes, When ye see a cloud rising from the west, straightaway ye say, A shower is coming, and so it happens.
And he said to the assembly, When you see a cloud arisen from the west, immediately you say, The rain cometh; and it is so:
55 And when a south wind is blowing, ye say, There will be heat, and it happens.
and when bloweth the south, you say, It becomes heat; and it is so.
56 Ye hypocrites, ye know how to examine the face of the earth and the sky, but how can ye not examine this season?
You hypocrites, the aspect of the sky and of the earth you know to distinguish; but this Time how do you not distinguish?
57 And also why do ye not judge yourselves what is right?
But why of yourselves judge you not the truth?
58 For when thou go with thine opponent to the magistrate on the way give effort to be delivered from him, lest he may drag thee to the judge, and the judge may deliver thee to the officer, and the officer would cast thee into prison.
When thou art going with thine adversary to the magistrate, while in the way, negotiate, and be freed from him; lest he bring thee to the judge, and the judge deliver thee to the exactor, and the exactor cast thee into the house of the bound;
59 I say to thee, thou will, no, not come out from there, until thou have paid even the last mite.
and Amen I tell thee, Thou wilt not be delivered from thence till thou shalt have given the last shomona.
