Luke 12
1 In the meantime, a crowd of many thousands had gathered, so that they were trampling one another. Jesus began to speak first to His disciples: “Beware of the leaven of the Pharisees, which is hypocrisy.
Maelufu ga wantu pawaliwoniti pamuhera, ata waweriti wankulitimbanga, Yesu kawagambiriti huti wafundwa wakuwi, “Mliloleri weri na simika ya Mafalisayu, nana mana ufyangu.
2 There is nothing concealed that will not be disclosed, and nothing hidden that will not be made known.
Kila shintu shawashigubikiti hashiweri paweru na kila bada hayimaniki.
3 What you have spoken in the dark will be heard in the daylight, and what you have whispered in the inner rooms will be proclaimed from the housetops.
Su vyoseri vyamtakuliti muluwindu havipikaniki paluwala, ata vilii vyamulipwepwera shipindi pamtatiti milyangu havibwerwi panani pa numba.
4 I tell you, My friends, do not be afraid of those who kill the body and after that can do no more.
“Nukugambirani waganja wangu, namuwatira woseri yawalaga nshimba kumbiti wasinda kutenda shintu shimonga nentu.
5 But I will show you whom you should fear: Fear the One who, after you have been killed, has authority to throw you into hell. Yes, I tell you, fear Him! (Geenna g1067)
Hanuwalanguziyani gwa kumtira, mumtiri Mlungu, ayu pakawalaga kala kana uwezu wa kumwasira muntu mumotu gwa Jehanamu. Munjimiri, ayu ndo yumu gwa kumtira! (Geenna g1067)
6 Are not five sparrows sold for two pennies? Yet not one of them is forgotten by God.
“Iwera ndiri washomolu wamuhanu wawawuza kwa senti ndikandika mbili? Kumbiti Mlungu hapeni kamuwaluwi shomolu ata yumu.
7 And even the very hairs of your head are all numbered. So do not be afraid; you are worth more than many sparrows.
Ata vilii zya mumtuwi mwenu waziwalangiti kala. Su namtira, mwenga wa mana nentu kuliku washomolu wavuwa!
8 I tell you, everyone who confesses Me before men, the Son of Man will also confess him before the angels of God.
“Nankuwagambira nakaka, kila muntu yakatakula kulongolu kwa wantu kulonga ndo gwaneni, Mwana gwa Muntu hakatakuli kulongolu kwa wantumintumi wa kumpindi wa Mlungu kuwera muntu ayu ndo gwakuwi.
9 But whoever denies Me before men will be denied before the angels of God.
Kumbiti woseri yawanema kulongolu kwa wantu, Mwana gwa muntu viraa hakawalemi kulongolu kwa wantumintumi wa kumpindi wa Mlungu.
10 And everyone who speaks a word against the Son of Man will be forgiven, but whoever blasphemes against the Holy Spirit will not be forgiven.
“Na yoseri Yakamtakulira visoweru vidoda mwana gwa Muntu hakalekiziwi, kumbiti yoseri yakamwigilanga Rohu Mnanagala hapeni kalekeziwi.
11 When you are brought before synagogues, rulers, and authorities, do not worry about how to defend yourselves or what to say.
“Pawawabata na kuwajega munumba za Mlungu, ama kwa wakulu na wakolamlima, namulihola hola ntambu yakutakula ama ntambu ya kujiteteya.
12 For at that time the Holy Spirit will teach you what you should say.”
Toziya Rohu Mnanagala shipindi shiraa shilii hakawafundi ntambu yakutakula.”
13 Someone in the crowd said to Him, “Teacher, tell my brother to divide the inheritance with me.”
Muntu yumu mulipinga lya wantu kamgambiriti Yesu, “Mfunda, gumgambiri mlongu gwangu tugawani uhala yakatulekeleriti tati gwetu.”
14 But Jesus replied, “Man, who appointed Me judge or executor between you?”
Yesu kamwankula, “Ganja gwangu, gaa yakantyeka neni weri mtoza gwenu?”
15 And He said to them, “Watch out! Guard yourselves against every form of greed, for one’s life does not consist in the abundance of his possessions.”
Su kawagambira woseri, “Muweri masu na muliloli weri na ntambu zoseri za matamata, toziya makaliru ganakaka ga muntu galitumbira ndiri vintu vivuwa vyakawera navi.”
16 Then He told them a parable: “The ground of a certain rich man produced an abundance.
Yesu kawagambira mfanu agu, “Kuweriti na mlunda yumu yakaweriti na lirambu lyakuwi lyalileriti viboga nentu.
17 So he thought to himself, ‘What shall I do, since I have nowhere to store my crops?’
Kanjiti kulihola mumoyu mwakuwi pakalonga, ‘Nahera pahala pa kutula viboga vyangu vyoseri. Su hantendi hashi?’
18 Then he said, ‘This is what I will do: I will tear down my barns and will build bigger ones, and there I will store up all my grain and my goods.
Kaligambiriti mweni, ‘Hantendi hangu, hambomoli hanja zyangu zoseri na kunyawa nkulu nentu, su hantuli viboga vyangu na lunda zyangu zimonga.
19 Then I will say to myself, “You have plenty of good things laid up for many years. Take it easy. Eat, drink, and be merry!”’
Shakapanu hanuligambiri mweni, Muntu yakana bahati! Gwana vintu vivuwa viherepa vya kuliya vinja ivuwa. Guvibojoli, vinu su gulii, gulandi na gulinemiziyi gumweni!’
20 But God said to him, ‘You fool! This very night your life will be required of you. Then who will own what you have accumulated?’
Kumbiti Mlungu kamgambira, ‘mzyigizyigi gwenga! Leru pashiru rohu yaku hayitolwi. Vinu gaa hakatoli vintu vyoseri vyaguvituliti kwajili yaku gumweni?’”
21 This is how it will be for anyone who stores up treasure for himself but is not rich toward God.”
Na Yesu kamaliriti pakatakula, “Ayi ndo ntambu hayiweri kwa muntu ulii yakalitulira ulunda kwajili yakuwi mweni kumbiti hapeni kaweri mlunda kwa Mlungu.”
22 Then Jesus said to His disciples, “Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat, or about your body, what you will wear.
Yesu kawagambira wafundwa, “Nankuwagambira mleki kulihola hola makaliru genu ama nguwu zya kuvala.
23 For life is more than food, and the body more than clothes.
Ukomu wa mana nentu kuliku shiboga na nshimba yana mana nentu kuliku nguwu.
24 Consider the ravens: They do not sow or reap, they have no storehouse or barn; yet God feeds them. How much more valuable you are than the birds!
Mloli wampongu, wayala ndiri ama wabenanga ndiri, kayi wahera ata luhanja lwa kutulila viboga, kumbiti Mlungu kawapanana shiboga! Mwenga muwera na mana nentu kuliku wampongu!
25 Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to his life?
Kwana muntu yoseri pakati penu yakaweza kwongera mweni makaliru gakuwi ata kwa saa yimu?
26 So if you cannot do such a small thing, why do you worry about the rest?
Handa pamuweza ndiri ata kutenda shintu shididini, iwera hashi mulihola hola vintu vimonga?
27 Consider how the lilies grow: They do not labor or spin. Yet I tell you, not even Solomon in all his glory was adorned like one of these.
Muloli mawuwa ga kuntundu ntambu yagakula, gatenda ndiri lihengu ama galinyawa ndiri geni. Kumbiti nukugambirani kuwera Mfalumi Selemani pamuhera na ulunda wakuwi woseri kapatiti ndiri kuvalisiwa gambira mawuwa aga.
28 If that is how God clothes the grass of the field, which is here today and tomorrow is thrown into the furnace, how much more will He clothe you, O you of little faith!
Payiwera Mlungu kaluvalusiya luhamba lya kuisi, lweni leru luwera na shirawu walwasila pamotu, ashi ndiri hakawatenderi nentu mwenga? Mwenga yamuwera na njimiru ndidini!
29 And do not be concerned about what you will eat or drink. Do not worry about it.
“Su namuligaziya kwa kusaluka shintu sha kuliya ama shintu sha kulanda.
30 For the Gentiles of the world strive after all these things, and your Father knows that you need them.
Toziya wantu yawamumana ndiri Mlungu pasipanu wavisakula nentu vintu vyoseri avi. Tati gwenu kavimana mfira vintu avi.
31 But seek His kingdom, and these things will be added unto you.
Kumbiti msakuli huti Ufalumi wa Mlungu na hakawapanani vintu avi.
32 Do not be afraid, little flock, for your Father is pleased to give you the kingdom.
“Mwenga shipinga shididini namtira, toziya Tati gwenu kafira kuwapanana Ufalumi.
33 Sell your possessions and give to the poor. Provide yourselves with purses that will not wear out, an inexhaustible treasure in heaven, where no thief approaches and no moth destroys.
Muwuzi vyoseri vyamuwera navi na muwapanani mpiya wahushu. Mulinyawili mihaku yayidegeka ndiri na mtuli ulunda wenu kumpindi kwa Mlungu, kweni aku hapeni ipungulwi toziya kwahera mpoka yakaweza kwiwa, ama wameyi yawaweza kuhalibisiya.
34 For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.
Ulunda waku pawuwera, ndo na moyu gwaku haguweri.
35 Be dressed for service and keep your lamps burning.
“Muweri kala kwa kila shintu shashiza na muviwashi vikoloboyi vyenu,
36 Then you will be like servants waiting for their master to return from the wedding banquet, so that when he comes and knocks, they can open the door for him at once.
gambira wantumintumi yawamuhepera mtuwa gwawu yakiza kulawa mumsambu gwa ndowa. Pakawera kankwiza na kutenda hodi, su hawamvugulili mlyangu kamukamu.
37 Blessed are those servants whom the master finds on watch when he returns. Truly I tell you, he will dress himself to serve and will have them recline at the table, and he himself will come and wait on them.
Mbaka kwa walii wantumintumi, mtuwa gwawu pakiza hakawawoni wankali masu! Nukugambirani nakaka, hakavuli nguwu yakuwi, nakuwagambira walivagi pasi na kuwatendera.
38 Even if he comes in the second or third watch of the night and finds them alert, those servants will be blessed.
Hawaweri na manemu ga ntambu gaa handa pakawawona wankali masu, ata pakiza pashiru ama pamandawira!
39 But understand this: If the homeowner had known at what hour the thief was coming, he would not have let his house be broken into.
Muvimani nakaka kuwera handa mweni kana numba pakavimaniti shipindi shakwiza mpoka, hapeni kamleki mpoka kubomolanga numba yakuwi.
40 You also must be ready, because the Son of Man will come at an hour you do not expect.”
Na mwenga viraa, muweri kala, toziya Mwana gwa Muntu hakizi shipindi shamumana ndiri.”
41 “Lord,” said Peter, “are You addressing this parable to us, or to everyone else as well?”
Peteru kamgambira, “Mtuwa, mfanu agu ndo kwajili ya twenga, ama kwajili ya kila muntu?”
42 And the Lord answered, “Who then is the faithful and wise manager, whom the master puts in charge of his servants to give them their portion at the proper time?
Mtuwa kawankula, “Ndo gaa yakawera ntumintumi kaaminika na yakana mahala? Ndo ulii mtuwa gwakuwi yakamtula kaweri mlolera gwa numba na kuwapanana wantumintumi wamonga wa mtuwa gwakuwi kwa shipindi shifaa.
43 Blessed is that servant whose master finds him doing so when he returns.
Mbaka yakuwi ntumintumi ulii, mtuwa gwakuwi pakawuya hakamwoni pakatenda hangu.
44 Truly I tell you, he will put him in charge of all his possessions.
Nakaka nukugambirani, mtuwa hakampanani ukulu gwa vintu vyakuwi vyoseri.
45 But suppose that servant says in his heart, ‘My master will be a long time in coming,’ and he begins to beat the menservants and maidservants, and to eat and drink and get drunk.
Kumbiti handa ntumintumi pakalitakulila mweni mumoyu, kuwera mtuwa gwakuwi kakawa shipindi shivuwa nentu kwiza, su kanja kuwakomanga wantumintumi wamonga, woseri wapalu pamuhera na wadala, su kalanda na kuliya shiboga pamuhera na kulanda ujimbi,
46 The master of that servant will come on a day he does not expect and at an hour he does not anticipate. Then he will cut him to pieces and assign him a place with the unbelievers.
shakapanu mtuwa gwakuwi ntumintumi ulii hakizi lishaka na shipindi shakashimana ndiri. Mtuwa hakamdumuli vipandi vipandi na kumwasira kunja na kumtula mushipinga shimuhera na yawajimira ndiri.
47 That servant who knows his master’s will but does not get ready or follow his instructions will be beaten with many blows.
“Ntumintumi yakavimana shakafira mtuwa gwakuwi kutenda, kumbiti kawera ndiri kala kutenda, hawamkomi nentu.
48 But the one who unknowingly does things worthy of punishment will be beaten with few blows. From everyone who has been given much, much will be required; and from him who has been entrusted with much, even more will be demanded.
Kumbiti ntumintumi yakavimana ndiri shilii shakafira mtuwa gwakuwi, na viraa katenda shilii shimtenda wamkomi, hawamkomi padidika. Yawampananiti vivuwa hawamdayi vivuwa, kumbiti yawampananiti vivuwa nentu hawamdayi vintu vivuwa nentu.
49 I have come to ignite a fire on the earth, and how I wish it were already kindled!
“Niza kukoziya motu pasipanu, hera hangu meguweri gwakiti kala!
50 But I have a baptism to undergo, and how distressed I am until it is accomplished!
Nana ubatizu weni nfiruwa nuwanki na ntabika nentu mpaka ukamiliki.
51 Do you think that I have come to bring peace to the earth? No, I tell you, but division.
Mulihola niza kujega ponga pasipanu? Ndala, kumbiti niza kupalanganyiya.
52 From now on, five in one household will be divided, three against two and two against three.
Kwanjira vinu na kwendeleya kaya ya wantu wamuhanu hawapalanganyiki na wantu watatu hawalisingani kwa wantu wawili na wantu wawili hawalisingani kwa wantu watatu.
53 They will be divided, father against son and son against father, mother against daughter and daughter against mother, mother-in-law against daughter-in-law and daughter-in-law against mother-in-law.”
Watati hawalisingani na wana wawu na wana hawalisingani na watati na wamawu hawawalemi wahinga wawu na wahinga hawawalemi wamawu na wanahonga hawawalemi wamika mwana na wamika mwana hawawalemi wanahonga wawu.”
54 Then Jesus said to the crowds, “As soon as you see a cloud rising in the west, you say, ‘A shower is coming,’ and that is what happens.
Yesu viraa kawagambiriti wantu, “Pamuwona liwundi lilawira kushana, mala mlonga hakatowi na nakaka vula itowa.
55 And when the south wind blows, you say, ‘It will be hot,’ and it is.
Pamuwona lihemuhemu lya kusika lyankuvuma, mlonga hakuweri na mshenji na nakaka iwera.
56 You hypocrites! You know how to interpret the appearance of the earth and sky. Why don’t you know how to interpret the present time?
Mwawafyangu mwenga! Muvimana kutunga lishaka ntambu yaliwera kwa kulola isi na liyera, kumbiti kwa ntambu gaa muvimana ndiri mana ya shipindi ashi?”
57 And why don’t you judge for yourselves what is right?
“Ntambu gaa msinda kuamuwa maweni kutenda shitwatira shiheri?
58 Make every effort to reconcile with your adversary while you are on your way to the magistrate. Otherwise, he may drag you off to the judge, and the judge may hand you over to the officer, and the officer may throw you into prison.
Handa mstaki gwaku kankukujega pashizyungu, iherepa nentu mulikoli mawoku pamuwera mwankali munjira. Pamutenda ndiri hangu, nakakujega kwa mtoza mweni hakakujegi kwa wamanjagila na womberi hawakutuli mushibetubetu.
59 I tell you, you will not get out until you have paid the very last penny.”
Nakaka nukugambira hapeni gulawi mulii mpaka gulipi ata ligwala lya kumalalira.”
