Luke 12
1 In those [times], the myriads of the crowd being gathered together, so that they trod one on another, he began to say to his disciples first, 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 but there is nothing covered up which shall not be revealed, nor secret that shall not be known;
Kila shintu shawashigubikiti hashiweri paweru na kila bada hayimaniki.
3 therefore whatever ye have said in the darkness shall be heard in the light, and what ye have spoken in the ear in chambers shall be proclaimed upon the housetops.
Su vyoseri vyamtakuliti muluwindu havipikaniki paluwala, ata vilii vyamulipwepwera shipindi pamtatiti milyangu havibwerwi panani pa numba.
4 But I say to you, my friends, Fear not those who kill the body and after this have no more that they can do.
“Nukugambirani waganja wangu, namuwatira woseri yawalaga nshimba kumbiti wasinda kutenda shintu shimonga nentu.
5 But I will shew you whom ye shall fear: Fear him who after he has killed has authority to cast into hell; yea, I say to 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 assaria? and one of them is not forgotten before God.
“Iwera ndiri washomolu wamuhanu wawawuza kwa senti ndikandika mbili? Kumbiti Mlungu hapeni kamuwaluwi shomolu ata yumu.
7 But even the hairs of your head are all numbered. Fear not therefore, ye are better than many sparrows.
Ata vilii zya mumtuwi mwenu waziwalangiti kala. Su namtira, mwenga wa mana nentu kuliku washomolu wavuwa!
8 But I say to you, Whosoever shall confess me before men, the Son of man will confess him also 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 he that shall have denied me before men shall 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 whoever shall say a word against the Son of man it shall be forgiven him; but to him that speaks injuriously against the Holy Spirit it shall not be forgiven.
“Na yoseri Yakamtakulira visoweru vidoda mwana gwa Muntu hakalekiziwi, kumbiti yoseri yakamwigilanga Rohu Mnanagala hapeni kalekeziwi.
11 But when they bring you before the synagogues and rulers and the authorities, be not careful how or what ye shall answer, or what ye shall say;
“Pawawabata na kuwajega munumba za Mlungu, ama kwa wakulu na wakolamlima, namulihola hola ntambu yakutakula ama ntambu ya kujiteteya.
12 for the Holy Spirit shall teach you in the hour itself what should be said.
Toziya Rohu Mnanagala shipindi shiraa shilii hakawafundi ntambu yakutakula.”
13 And a person said to him out of the crowd, Teacher, speak to 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 he said to him, Man, who established me [as] a judge or a divider over you?
Yesu kamwankula, “Ganja gwangu, gaa yakantyeka neni weri mtoza gwenu?”
15 And he said to them, Take heed and keep yourselves from all covetousness, for [it is] not because a man is in abundance [that] his life is in 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 And he spoke a parable to them, saying, The land of a certain rich man brought forth abundantly.
Yesu kawagambira mfanu agu, “Kuweriti na mlunda yumu yakaweriti na lirambu lyakuwi lyalileriti viboga nentu.
17 And he reasoned within himself saying, What shall I do? for I have not [a place] where I shall lay up my fruits.
Kanjiti kulihola mumoyu mwakuwi pakalonga, ‘Nahera pahala pa kutula viboga vyangu vyoseri. Su hantendi hashi?’
18 And he said, This will I do: I will take away my granaries and build greater, and there I will lay up all my produce and my good things;
Kaligambiriti mweni, ‘Hantendi hangu, hambomoli hanja zyangu zoseri na kunyawa nkulu nentu, su hantuli viboga vyangu na lunda zyangu zimonga.
19 and I will say to my soul, Soul, thou hast much good things laid by for many years; repose thyself, eat, drink, 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, Fool, this night thy soul shall be required of thee; and whose shall be what thou hast prepared?
Kumbiti Mlungu kamgambira, ‘mzyigizyigi gwenga! Leru pashiru rohu yaku hayitolwi. Vinu gaa hakatoli vintu vyoseri vyaguvituliti kwajili yaku gumweni?’”
21 Thus is he who lays up treasure for himself, and 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 And he said to his disciples, For this cause I say unto you, Be not careful for life, what ye shall eat, nor for the body, what ye shall put on.
Yesu kawagambira wafundwa, “Nankuwagambira mleki kulihola hola makaliru genu ama nguwu zya kuvala.
23 The life is more than food, and the body than raiment.
Ukomu wa mana nentu kuliku shiboga na nshimba yana mana nentu kuliku nguwu.
24 Consider the ravens, that they sow not nor reap; which have neither storehouse nor granary; and God feeds them. How much better are ye 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 But which of you by being careful can add to his stature one cubit?
Kwana muntu yoseri pakati penu yakaweza kwongera mweni makaliru gakuwi ata kwa saa yimu?
26 If therefore ye cannot [do] even what is least, why are ye careful about the rest?
Handa pamuweza ndiri ata kutenda shintu shididini, iwera hashi mulihola hola vintu vimonga?
27 Consider the lilies how they grow: they neither toil nor spin; but I say unto you, Not even Solomon in all his glory was clothed as 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 But if God thus clothe the grass, which to-day is in the field and to-morrow is cast into [the] oven, how much rather you, O ye 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 ye, seek not what ye shall eat or what ye shall drink, and be not in anxiety;
“Su namuligaziya kwa kusaluka shintu sha kuliya ama shintu sha kulanda.
30 for all these things do the nations of the world seek after, and your Father knows that ye have need of these things;
Toziya wantu yawamumana ndiri Mlungu pasipanu wavisakula nentu vintu vyoseri avi. Tati gwenu kavimana mfira vintu avi.
31 but seek his kingdom, and [all] these things shall be added to you.
Kumbiti msakuli huti Ufalumi wa Mlungu na hakawapanani vintu avi.
32 Fear not, little flock, for it has been the good pleasure of your Father to give you the kingdom.
“Mwenga shipinga shididini namtira, toziya Tati gwenu kafira kuwapanana Ufalumi.
33 Sell what ye possess and give alms; make to yourselves purses which do not grow old, a treasure which does not fail in the heavens, where thief does not draw near nor moth destroy.
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 also will your heart be.
Ulunda waku pawuwera, ndo na moyu gwaku haguweri.
35 Let your loins be girded about, and lamps burning;
“Muweri kala kwa kila shintu shashiza na muviwashi vikoloboyi vyenu,
36 and ye like men who wait their own lord whenever he may leave the wedding, that when he comes and knocks, they may open to him immediately.
gambira wantumintumi yawamuhepera mtuwa gwawu yakiza kulawa mumsambu gwa ndowa. Pakawera kankwiza na kutenda hodi, su hawamvugulili mlyangu kamukamu.
37 Blessed are those bondmen whom the lord [on] coming shall find watching; verily I say unto you, that he will gird himself and make them recline at table, and coming up will serve them.
Mbaka kwa walii wantumintumi, mtuwa gwawu pakiza hakawawoni wankali masu! Nukugambirani nakaka, hakavuli nguwu yakuwi, nakuwagambira walivagi pasi na kuwatendera.
38 And if he come in the second watch, and come in the third watch, and find [them] thus, blessed are those [bondmen].
Hawaweri na manemu ga ntambu gaa handa pakawawona wankali masu, ata pakiza pashiru ama pamandawira!
39 But this know, that if the master of the house had known in what hour the thief was coming, he would have watched, and not have suffered his house to be dug through.
Muvimani nakaka kuwera handa mweni kana numba pakavimaniti shipindi shakwiza mpoka, hapeni kamleki mpoka kubomolanga numba yakuwi.
40 And ye therefore, be ye ready, for in the hour in which ye do not think [it], the Son of man comes.
Na mwenga viraa, muweri kala, toziya Mwana gwa Muntu hakizi shipindi shamumana ndiri.”
41 And Peter said to him, Lord, sayest thou this parable to us, or also to all?
Peteru kamgambira, “Mtuwa, mfanu agu ndo kwajili ya twenga, ama kwajili ya kila muntu?”
42 And the Lord said, Who then is the faithful and prudent steward, whom his lord will set over his household, to give the measure of corn in season?
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 bondman whom his lord [on] coming shall find doing thus;
Mbaka yakuwi ntumintumi ulii, mtuwa gwakuwi pakawuya hakamwoni pakatenda hangu.
44 verily I say unto you, that he will set him over all that he has.
Nakaka nukugambirani, mtuwa hakampanani ukulu gwa vintu vyakuwi vyoseri.
45 But if that bondman should say in his heart, My lord delays to come, and begin to beat the menservants and the maidservants, and to eat and to drink and to be drunken,
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 lord of that bondman shall come in a day when he does not expect it, and in an hour he knows not of, and shall cut him in two and appoint his portion 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 But that bondman who knew his own lord's will, and had not prepared [himself] nor done his will, shall be beaten with many [stripes];
“Ntumintumi yakavimana shakafira mtuwa gwakuwi kutenda, kumbiti kawera ndiri kala kutenda, hawamkomi nentu.
48 but he who knew [it] not, and did things worthy of stripes, shall be beaten with few. And to every one to whom much has been given, much shall be required from him; and to whom [men] have committed much, they will ask from him the more.
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 cast a fire on the earth; and what will I if already it has been kindled?
“Niza kukoziya motu pasipanu, hera hangu meguweri gwakiti kala!
50 But I have a baptism to be baptised with, and how am I straitened until it shall have been accomplished!
Nana ubatizu weni nfiruwa nuwanki na ntabika nentu mpaka ukamiliki.
51 Think ye that I have come to give peace in the earth? Nay, I say to you, but rather division:
Mulihola niza kujega ponga pasipanu? Ndala, kumbiti niza kupalanganyiya.
52 for from henceforth there shall be five in one house divided; three shall be divided 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 father against son, and son against father; mother against daughter, and daughter against mother; a mother-in-law against her daughter-in-law, and a daughter-in-law against her 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 And he said also to the crowds, When ye see a cloud rising out of the west, straightway ye say, A shower is coming; and so it happens.
Yesu viraa kawagambiriti wantu, “Pamuwona liwundi lilawira kushana, mala mlonga hakatowi na nakaka vula itowa.
55 And when [ye see] the south wind blow, ye say, There will be heat; and it happens.
Pamuwona lihemuhemu lya kusika lyankuvuma, mlonga hakuweri na mshenji na nakaka iwera.
56 Hypocrites, ye know how to judge of the appearance of the earth and of the heaven; how [is it then that] ye do not discern this 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 even of yourselves judge ye not what is right?
“Ntambu gaa msinda kuamuwa maweni kutenda shitwatira shiheri?
58 For as thou goest with thine adverse party before a magistrate, strive in the way to be reconciled with him, lest he drag thee away to the judge, and the judge shall deliver thee to the officer, and the officer cast thee 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 say unto thee, Thou shalt in no wise come out thence until thou hast paid the very last mite.
Nakaka nukugambira hapeni gulawi mulii mpaka gulipi ata ligwala lya kumalalira.”
