Luke 12
1 Meanwhile, when a multitude of many thousands had gathered together, so much so that they trampled on each other, he began to tell his disciples first of all, “Beware of the yeast of the Pharisees, which is hypocrisy.
Ni nton kima, indji dubu gbugbuwu ba rju ye shubi nitu bran mba ba hon ta chan kpamba. Alu kri tre ni guchi ni mri ko ma ndi, “Mla ya yist wu Farisawa, wandi ahi gyuru ndji nitu zren mba
2 But there is nothing covered up that will not be revealed, nor hidden that will not be known.
Ba kpe wa ba kawu wandi ana rju kri ndende ni ra na, ba kpe wa ba kari wandi bana toh na.
3 Therefore whatever you have said in the darkness will be heard in the light. What you have spoken in the ear in the inner rooms will be proclaimed on the housetops.
Nitu kima, ikpi wa wu tre ni bwu ba wo ni kpan, i wuta tre kpe ni riri ni ton, nimi tra, ba dbu hla ni tu nkan.
4 “I tell you, my friends, do not be afraid of those who kill the body, and after that have no more that they can do.
Mi hla ni yiwu, kpukpanmu, na tie sissri bi wa ba wu ikpa megyen, dana he ni kpe wa ba la tie na.
5 But I will warn you whom you should fear. Fear him who after he has killed, has power to cast into Gehenna (Geenna g1067). Yes, I tell you, fear him.
Ama, mi gbron ton mbi nitu wa be klu'u klu wandi anita wu, a he ni gbengble wu ta u yo ni lu shetan. Ee, Mi hla ni yiwu, klu'u. (Geenna g1067)
6 “Are not five sparrows sold for two assaria coins? Not one of them is forgotten by God.
Bana leni chinche sparo ton nitu wlo bubo tra na? Ni kima me, Irji na kparisu ni iri mba na.
7 But the very hairs of your head are all counted. Therefore do not be afraid. You are of more value than many sparrows.
Infutu wu tume me a bla ba pempe. Natie sissri na. Wu he ni ndu zan chinchen sparo gbugbuwu.
8 “I tell you, everyone who confesses me before men, the Son of Man will also confess before the angels of God;
Mi hla ni yiwu ndji wa a kri nda tre ni tu mu ni shishi ndji, Vren Ndji ngame ni tre ni tuma ni shishi Maleku Irji,
9 but he who denies me in the presence of men will be denied in the presence of God’s angels.
Anita kama ni me ni shishi ndji, ba kama niwu ni shishi Maleku Irji.
10 Everyone who speaks a word against the Son of Man will be forgiven, but those who blaspheme against the Holy Spirit will not be forgiven.
Ko nha wa a tre lan tre meme nitu Vren Ndji, bakpa wru hle niwu, ama wuta tra valala wu gbron gbrongrji, nitu Ruhu Tsatsra, bana wru hle niwu na.
11 When they bring you before the synagogues, the rulers, and the authorities, do not be anxious how or what you will answer or what you will say;
Bati ngrji wu ye ni shishi kikle bi mitra Sinagog, bi tie chu baba bi ninkon gbu, na du suron mbi rjoku nitu kpe wandi bi tre wa ani kpauyi chuwo na.
12 for the Holy Spirit will teach you in that same hour what you must say.”
Ruhu Tsatsra ni tsro yi ni nton kima, ikpe wa bi tre'a.
13 One of the multitude said to him, “Teacher, tell my brother to divide the inheritance with me.”
Ndji rinimi ikpan ndji ba a tre niwu ndi, Ticha, hla ni vayi mu ni du ga gado mbu ni me.
14 But he said to him, “Man, who made me a judge or an arbitrator over you?”
Yesu a hla wu ndi Ndji, anha yo me mi ga tre koh du mi ri nimi tre mbi?
15 He said to them, “Beware! Keep yourselves from covetousness, for a man’s life does not consist of the abundance of the things which he possesses.”
A tre ni ba andi, mla toh ni na du son tu do honyi na, nitu mlason ndji ni vrhi ana nitu kri ni gbugbu ikpi wa a he ni wuna.
16 He spoke a parable to them, saying, “The ground of a certain rich man produced abundantly.
Nikima, Yesu a tre parabul ni bawu ndi, “Irju ndji wu wo ri nu birhi gbugbuwu.
17 He reasoned within himself, saying, ‘What will I do, because I do not have room to store my crops?’
A son nda mla ya ni kpama nda tre ndi, 'Mi tie ni he, nitu mina he ni bubu wa mi zi biri wu wru mu na?'
18 He said, ‘This is what I will do. I will pull down my barns, build bigger ones, and there I will store all my grain and my goods.
A tre ndi, ngye kpe wa mi ti a yi. Mi zi ba wronmu ni mme bi rigrama, nike mi zi biri wu wrhu mu mba mbru ikpi mu wawu.
19 I will tell my soul, “Soul, you have many goods laid up for many years. Take your ease, eat, drink, and be merry.”’
Mi hla ni suron mu, “Suron, wu he ni kpi gbugbuwu wa wu mla zi wu ise gbugbu ni ko shishi. Kuson si rhi ni so, son piyame.'”
20 “But God said to him, ‘You foolish one, tonight your soul is required of you. The things which you have prepared—whose will they be?’
Ee, Irji hla wu ndi, 'Ruhu ndji, ni chu wu luwa, ba kpa vrhi suron meluwa, i ikpi ba wu mla zi ba, wu don ni nha?'
21 So is he who lays up treasure for himself, and is not rich toward God.”
Kima he na bibi ndji bari, ba vu kpi si mla zi ni tu mba, nda k'ma tie bi kpla ni Irji.
22 He said to his disciples, “Therefore I tell you, do not be anxious for your life, what you will eat, nor yet for your body, what you will wear.
Yesu a hla ni mri koh ma ndi, Mi hla yiwu, na dame ni tu me na, ikpe wa wuri, ko ni kpame, ikpe wa wu sru.
23 Life is more than food, and the body is more than clothing.
Vri son a zan biri i kpa zan nklon wu sru.
24 Consider the ravens: they do not sow, they do not reap, they have no warehouse or barn, and God feeds them. How much more valuable are you than birds!
Ya kikle chinche ravins, bana chu ndana han na. Ba na he ni tra wu zi kpi ko wron na, ama Irji ni nuba irhi-mba. Wu na zan chinche ba ni anfani ni shishi Irji na?
25 Which of you by being anxious can add a cubit to his height?
Inha nimi-mbi, nitu son rhimre nitu kpe, ani du vi wu vri ma hon zan cubit?
26 If then you are not able to do even the least things, why are you anxious about the rest?
Wuta na toh tie mri kpi toh wayi na, nitu ngye wu du suron me du na kuson si na?
27 Consider the lilies, how they grow. They do not toil, neither do they spin; yet I tell you, even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these.
Ya mri vunvu bi kpan mbi ni shishi to lilies, ni lu gbron mbu, bana tiya na, bana k'ma ya bubu na, ee, Solomon me ni nzu hon ma ana sru ikpi wu bi toh iri-mba na.
28 But if this is how God clothes the grass in the field, which today exists and tomorrow is cast into the oven, how much more will he clothe you, O you of little faith?
Irji nita nu ghiga wu wrhu, wandi luwa ahe, i mble ba kau taga ni lu, ani tie he ndana nu nklon wu sru na? Wu ndji wu kpanyime ni wu fime.
29 “Do not seek what you will eat or what you will drink; neither be anxious.
Na yo shishi ni kpe wa wu rhi ndi sona, na du suron me hamma ni kukru na.
30 For the nations of the world seek after all of these things, but your Father knows that you need these things.
Gbungblu wawu ba yo suron wa ikpi biki, i Timbi toh wu son kpi baki ngame
31 But seek God’s Kingdom, and all these things will be added to you.
Wuka yo suron meni iko mulki Irji guchi, i ba vu kpibiyi nha niwu tuma.
32 “Do not be afraid, little flock, for it is your Father’s good pleasure to give you the Kingdom.
Na tie sissri na, ikran mri nitu Iti-mbu toh a bi ni du nuta ri ko mulki ma.
33 Sell what you have and give gifts to the needy. Make for yourselves purses which do not grow old, a treasure in the heavens that does not fail, where no thief approaches and no moth destroys.
Le ni ikpi me ni nu sadaka. Wran ngomble ni kpa-mbi wa ana y'ba na - ikpe ndindi ni shulu wandi ana kle na, i ndji wu y'bi na ye whiewhiere na, i imra na kpa timeme na.
34 For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.
Bubu wa ikpe ndindi me he'a, suron me ni he ngame.
35 “Let your waist be dressed and your lamps burning.
Lo kpa mla tie ni rjirji ni nchi, ni du ilu me si kpan,
36 Be like men watching for their lord when he returns from the wedding feast, that when he comes and knocks, they may immediately open to him.
nna ndji biwa basi gben ti-kohmba du k'ma rjini ko gran, anita ye wrunko, baka bwu niwu gbagbla.
37 Blessed are those servants whom the lord will find watching when he comes. Most certainly I tell you that he will dress himself, make them recline, and will come and serve them.
Lulu he ni tu igran biwa tikomba niye to ba si gben yemma. Njanji, mi hla yiwu, ani mla kpama tie wu tindu nda du ba son nitu tabur, wa a ni lu tindu bawu.
38 They will be blessed if he comes in the second or third watch and finds them so.
Tikoh anita ye ni nh'ma wu ha ko nh'ma wu tra nda ye toh bi ki ni sisren si gben i lulu ni tu igran baki.
39 But know this, that if the master of the house had known in what hour the thief was coming, he would have watched and not allowed his house to be broken into.
Ama bika toh, tikoh nita toh nton wa ndji wu y'bi ni ye'a, ana du rhi ni ko'a na.
40 Therefore be ready also, for the Son of Man is coming in an hour that you do not expect him.”
Son ni sro, wuna toh nton wa vren ndji ni yena.
41 Peter said to him, “Lord, are you telling this parable to us, or to everybody?”
Bitrus a tre, “Bachi wusi hla tre yi ni tawu megyen ka ni konha?”
42 The Lord said, “Who then is the faithful and wise steward, whom his lord will set over his household, to give them their portion of food at the right times?
Bachi a sa ndi, “A hi nha ndji ndindi wa tikoma ni nu ndu ya mbru igran ma, ani mla ta nuba biri mba ni ntonma?
43 Blessed is that servant whom his lord will find doing so when he comes.
Lulu he ni tu igran wa tikoh niye toh si ti ndu wa bana nu anita k'ma ye.
44 Truly I tell you that he will set him over all that he has.
Njanji mi hla yiwu, ani yo ni tu ikpi koh ma wau.
45 But if that servant says in his heart, ‘My lord delays his coming,’ and begins to beat the menservants and the maidservants, and to eat and drink and to be drunken,
Igran a nita tre ni suron ma ndi, “Bachi mu ani ti grji ni ye, nda lu si tsi igran lilon baba mba biwa ba he ni wo ma, nda rhi nda so nda wha,
46 then the lord of that servant will come in a day when he is not expecting him and in an hour that he does not know, and will cut him in two, and place his portion with the unfaithful.
Bachi igran niye ni ivi wa ana tie mre na mba nton wa ana to na, anic'ba tie tsitsa nda ban yo ni bubu bi ka toti ndindi.
47 That servant who knew his lord’s will, and did not prepare nor do what he wanted, will be beaten with many stripes,
Igran kima, nitu ana toh suron bachima ye, ama dana mla son nda tie kpi wa ani son na, ba tsiwu branbran.
48 but he who did not know, and did things worthy of stripes, will be beaten with few stripes. To whomever much is given, of him will much be required; and to whom much was entrusted, of him more will be asked.
I waa ana toh na ama nda tie ikpe wa du ba tsiwu a, ba tsiwu ifimeyi. Ndi wa banu ikpi bran bran, ni wo ma, ba kpa branbran. Wandi ba zi kpi gbugbuwu ni woma, ba mye ikpi wa azan kima.
49 “I came to throw fire on the earth. I wish it were already kindled.
Mi ye nitu ye yo lu ni gbungblu mem, i mi son ndi ilu anina nu ye.
50 But I have a baptism to be baptized with, and how distressed I am until it is accomplished!
Ama mi he ni baptisma wa batie nimu'a, suron mu ni lo nitu du ba kle kima.
51 Do you think that I have come to give peace in the earth? I tell you, no, but rather division.
Bi ya mi ye nji isi ye ni gbungblu meme? Ana toki na, mi hla yiwu, ahi iga.
52 For from now on, there will be five in one house divided, three against two, and two against three.
Rji ni zizan, hini shishi, ndi ton ba he niko, iga ni ri, ndi tra nitu ndi ha, i iha nitu tra.
53 They will be divided, father against son, and son against father; mother against daughter, and daughter against her mother; mother-in-law against her daughter-in-law, and daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law.”
Baga ni kpamba, iti mba vren wa ni ihi ma. Ihi wa vren ma mba iwa vren ma, i wa vren ni ihi lonma.
54 He said to the multitudes also, “When you see a cloud rising from the west, immediately you say, ‘A shower is coming,’ and so it happens.
Yesu asia hla ni kpa ndi ba, ngame ndi, “Bita toh kpa lu ni lunde rhi ni yalu, bika gbla tre ndji, tenlu ni ye wa ani he toki.
55 When a south wind blows, you say, ‘There will be a scorching heat,’ and it happens.
Gyungwu nita ni fu ni rji ni kogbo, bi tre ndi, gbaji wu hwuma ni ye, wa ani ye toki.
56 You hypocrites! You know how to interpret the appearance of the earth and the sky, but how is it that you do not interpret this time?
Bi gyru tu-mbi, bi to sran, tsro kpa ikpi nimemembani shulu, i ti tie nihe nina toh sran ikpi wa si zren zizan na.
57 “Why do not you judge for yourselves what is right?
Bi ti he mu nina gatre ni kpame na?
58 For when you are going with your adversary before the magistrate, try diligently on the way to be released from him, lest perhaps he drag you to the judge, and the judge deliver you to the officer, and the officer throw you into prison.
Wuta hi niwandia no son na, ni shishi ndji wu ga tre, bita rhi he ni nko, bika mla ti ni kpambi, nitu du na njiwu hi lo, ni du ndji wu ga tre kana vu nuwa ani, njiwu hi tro na.
59 I tell you, you will by no means get out of there until you have paid the very last penny.”
Mi hla niwu, wuna to wru na, se wu han kubu wa ba han pempyeme
