Luke 12
1 Then, as great crowds were standing so close that they were stepping on one another, he began to say to his disciples: “Beware of the leaven 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 For there is nothing covered, which will not be revealed, nor anything hidden, which 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 For the things that you have spoken in darkness will be declared in the light. And what you have said in the ear in bedrooms will be proclaimed from 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 So I say to you, my friends: Do not be fearful of those who kill the body, and afterwards 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 reveal to you whom you should fear. Fear him who, after he will have killed, has the power to cast into Hell. So I say to you: Fear him. (Geenna g1067)
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 small coins? And yet not one of these is forgotten in the sight of God.
Bana leni chinche sparo ton nitu wlo bubo tra na? Ni kima me, Irji na kparisu ni iri mba na.
7 But even the very hairs of your head have all been numbered. Therefore, do not be afraid. You are worth more than many sparrows.
Infutu wu tume me a bla ba pempe. Natie sissri na. Wu he ni ndu zan chinchen sparo gbugbuwu.
8 But I say to you: Everyone who will have confessed me before men, the Son of man will also confess him 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 everyone who will have denied me before men, he will be denied before the Angels of God.
Anita kama ni me ni shishi ndji, ba kama niwu ni shishi Maleku Irji.
10 And everyone who speaks a word against the Son of man, it will be forgiven of him. But of him who will have blasphemed against the Holy Spirit, it 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 And when they will lead you to the synagogues, and to magistrates and authorities, do not choose to be worried about how or what you will answer, or about what you might 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 the same hour, what you must say.”
Ruhu Tsatsra ni tsro yi ni nton kima, ikpe wa bi tre'a.
13 And someone from the crowd said to him, “Teacher, tell my brother to share 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 has appointed me as judge or arbitrator over you?”
Yesu a hla wu ndi Ndji, anha yo me mi ga tre koh du mi ri nimi tre mbi?
15 So he said to them: “Be cautious and wary of all avarice. For a person’s life is not found in the abundance of the things that 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 Then he spoke to them using a comparison, saying: “The fertile land of a certain wealthy man produced crops.
Nikima, Yesu a tre parabul ni bawu ndi, “Irju ndji wu wo ri nu birhi gbugbuwu.
17 And he thought within himself, saying: ‘What should I do? For I have nowhere to gather together 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 And he said: ‘This is what I will do. I will tear down my barns and build larger ones. And into these, I will gather all the things that have been grown for me, as well as 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 And I will say to my soul: Soul, you have many goods, stored up for many years. Relax, eat, drink, and be cheerful.’
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: ‘Foolish one, this very night they require your soul of you. To whom, then, will those things belong, which you have prepared?’
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 it is with him who stores up for himself, and is not wealthy with 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 And he said to his disciples: “And so I say to you: Do not choose to be anxious about your life, as to what you may eat, nor about your body, as to 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. For they neither sow nor reap; there is no storehouse or barn for them. And yet God pastures them. How much more are you, compared to them?
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 But which of you, by thinking, is able to add one cubit to his stature?
Inha nimi-mbi, nitu son rhimre nitu kpe, ani du vi wu vri ma hon zan cubit?
26 Therefore, if you are not capable, in what is so little, why be 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 neither work nor weave. But I say to you, not even Solomon, in all his glory, was clothed 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 Therefore, if God so clothes the grass, which is in the field today and thrown into the furnace tomorrow, how much more you, O little in 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 And so, do not choose to inquire as to what you will eat, or what you will drink. And do not choose to be lifted up on high.
Na yo shishi ni kpe wa wu rhi ndi sona, na du suron me hamma ni kukru na.
30 For all these things are sought by the Gentiles of the world. And your Father knows that you have need of these things.
Gbungblu wawu ba yo suron wa ikpi biki, i Timbi toh wu son kpi baki ngame
31 Yet truly, seek first the kingdom of God, and his justice, and all these things shall 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 has pleased your Father 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 possess, and give alms. Make for yourselves purses that will not wear out, a treasure that will not fall short, in heaven, where no thief approaches, and no moth corrupts.
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 waists be girded, and let lamps be burning in your hands.
Lo kpa mla tie ni rjirji ni nchi, ni du ilu me si kpan,
36 And let you yourselves be like men awaiting their lord, when he will return from the wedding; so that, when he arrives and knocks, they may open to him promptly.
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, when he returns, will find being vigilant. Amen I say to you, that he will gird himself and have them sit down to eat, while he, continuing on, will minister to 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 And if he will return in the second watch, or if in the third watch, and if he will find them to be so: then blessed are those servants.
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 father of the family knew at what hour the thief would arrive, he would certainly stand watch, and he would not permit 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 You also must be prepared. For the Son of man will return at an hour that you will not realize.”
Son ni sro, wuna toh nton wa vren ndji ni yena.
41 Then Peter said to him, “Lord, are you telling this parable to us, or also to everyone?”
Bitrus a tre, “Bachi wusi hla tre yi ni tawu megyen ka ni konha?”
42 So the Lord said: “Who do you think is the faithful and prudent steward, whom his Lord has appointed over his family, in order to give them their measure of wheat in due time?
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 if, when his Lord will return, he will find him acting in this manner.
Lulu he ni tu igran wa tikoh niye toh si ti ndu wa bana nu anita k'ma ye.
44 Truly I say to you, that he will appoint him over all that he possesses.
Njanji mi hla yiwu, ani yo ni tu ikpi koh ma wau.
45 But if that servant will have said in his heart, ‘My Lord has made a delay in his return,’ and if he has begun to strike the men and women servants, and to eat and drink, and to be inebriated,
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 return on a day which he hoped not, and at an hour which he knew not. And he will separate him, and he will place his portion with that of 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 And that servant, who knew the will of his Lord, and who did not prepare and did not act according to his will, will be beaten many times over.
Igran kima, nitu ana toh suron bachima ye, ama dana mla son nda tie kpi wa ani son na, ba tsiwu branbran.
48 Yet he who did not know, and who acted in a way that deserves a beating, will be beaten fewer times. So then, of all to whom much has been given, much will be required. And of those to whom much has been entrusted, even 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 have come to cast a fire upon the earth. And what should I desire, except that it may be kindled?
Mi ye nitu ye yo lu ni gbungblu mem, i mi son ndi ilu anina nu ye.
50 And I have a baptism, with which I am to be baptized. And how I am constrained, even until it may be 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 to the earth? No, I tell you, but division.
Bi ya mi ye nji isi ye ni gbungblu meme? Ana toki na, mi hla yiwu, ahi iga.
52 For from this time on, there will be five in one house: divided as three against two, and as 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 A father will be divided against a son, and a son against his 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.”
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 And he also said to the crowds: “When you see a cloud rising from the setting of the sun, immediately you say, ‘A rain cloud is coming.’ And so it does.
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 And when a south wind is blowing, you say, ‘It will be hot.’ And so it is.
Gyungwu nita ni fu ni rji ni kogbo, bi tre ndi, gbaji wu hwuma ni ye, wa ani ye toki.
56 You hypocrites! You discern the face of the heavens, and of the earth, yet how is it that you do not discern 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 And why do you not, even among yourselves, judge what is just?
Bi ti he mu nina gatre ni kpame na?
58 So, when you are going with your adversary to the ruler, while you are on the way, make an effort to be freed from him, lest perhaps he may lead you to the judge, and the judge may deliver you to the officer, and the officer may cast 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 not depart from there, until you have paid the very last coin.”
Mi hla niwu, wuna to wru na, se wu han kubu wa ba han pempyeme
