Luke 12
1 And when great multitudes stood about him, so that they trod one upon another, he began to say to his disciples: Beware ye of the leaven of the Pharisees, which is hypocrisy.
Gene malangago bhashinkuluimana lugwinjili lwa bhandu maelupu, mpaka kuishila kulibhatana, a Yeshu gubhatandwibhe kwaalugulilanga bhaajiganywa bhabho, Mwiiteiganje na ngedule ya mapalishayo, yani ugulumba.
2 For there is nothing covered, that shall not be revealed: nor hidden, that shall not be known.
Shakwapi shoshowe shiunishilwe shikaapinga unukulwa, na shoshowe shiishiywe shipinga manyika.
3 For whatsoever things you have spoken in darkness, shall be published in the light: and that which you have spoken in the ear in the chambers, shall be preached on the housetops.
Kwa nneyo, yowe immeleketenje palubhindu, bhandunji shibhaipilikananje pa shilangaya na yowe imwanyinyitangaga nnyumba nni nng'ugelenje milango, ipinga lunguywa pa shipagala sha nyumba.
4 And I say to you, my friends: Be not afraid of them who kill the body, and after that have no more that they can do.
Ngunakunnugulilanga mwashaambwiga ajangu, nnaajogopanje bhabhulaganga shiilu bhala, ikabheje bhakaakombolanga kutenda shina kupunda shenesho.
5 But I will shew you whom you shall fear: fear ye him, who after he hath killed, hath power to cast into hell. Yea, I say to you, fear him. (Geenna g1067)
Shininnangulanje gani apinjikwa kujogopwa. Munnjogopanje jwene akombola kubhulaga, na abhulagaga anakombola kunnjaa mundu ku moto gwa kujeanamu. Elo, ngunakummalanjilanga, munnjogopanje jwenejo. (Geenna g1067)
6 Are not five sparrows sold for two farthings, and not one of them is forgotten before God?
Bhuli ndyondyo nng'ano ikaushwa kwa ela ishokope? Ikabheje nkali jumo akalibhalika na a Nnungu.
7 Yea, the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Fear not therefore: you are of more value than many sparrows.
Nkali umbo ya mmitwe jenunji a Nnungu bhaimanyi pwili ilingwa. Bhai, nnajogopanje, mmanganya mmambonenji kupunda ndyondyo yaigwinji!
8 And I say to you, Whosoever shall confess me before men, him shall the Son of man also confess before the angels of God.
“Kweli ngunakummalanjilanga, mundu jojowe ashangunde palugwinjili, Mwana juka Mundu shankunde pa ashimalaika bha a Nnungu.
9 But he that shall deny me before men, shall be denied before the angels of God.
Ikabheje, mundu jojowe angana pa bhandu najwalakwe apinga kanwa pa ashimalaika bha a Nnungu.
10 And whosoever speaketh a word against the Son of man, it shall be forgiven him: but to him that shall blaspheme against the Holy Ghost, it shall not be forgiven.
“Jojowe abheleketa malobhe ga nyata kuka Mwana juka Mundu shaleshelelwe, ikabheje akunkupulu Mbumu jwa Ukonjelo akaleshelelwa.
11 And when they shall bring you into the synagogues, and to magistrates and powers, be not solicitous how or what you shall answer, or what you shall say;
“Mmanganya pushibhampelekanje mmashinagogi kuukumulwa na bhatagwala na bhakulungwanji, nnakolanje lipamba lya shana bhuli pushimwitapulanje eu muubheleketelo.
12 For the Holy Ghost shall teach you in the same hour what you must say.
Pabha popo pepo Mbumu jwa Ukonjelo shannjiganyanje sha bheleketa.”
13 And one of the multitude said to him: Master, speak to my brother that he divide the inheritance with me.
Mundu jumo nnugwinjili lwa bhandu lula gwabhalugulile a Yeshu, “Mmaajiganya, munnugulile nkulwangu tugabhane ulishi gubhatuleshele atati.”
14 But he said to him: Man, who hath appointed me judge, or divider, over you?
A Yeshu gubhannjangwile, “Ambwiga, gani amishile nne kubha akimu na nkugabhanya jwenunji?”
15 And he said to them: Take heed and beware of all covetousness; for a man’s life doth not consist in the abundance of things which he possesseth.
Bhai a Yeshu gubhaalugulilenje bhowenji, “Mwiiteiganje na shilokoli shoshowe, pabha gumi uka mundu ukatamila ga gwinji gwa indu yakwete.”
16 And he spoke a similitude to them, saying: The land of a certain rich man brought forth plenty of fruits.
Kungai gubhaatanjilenje lutango, “Ashinkupagwa mundu jumo tajili, atungwile yalya munngunda gwakwe.
17 And he thought within himself, saying: What shall I do, because I have no room where to bestow my fruits?
Jwene mundujo gwaganishiye muntima gwakwe, ‘Shindende bhuli na nne nangali pagosheya yalya yangu?
18 And he said: This will I do: I will pull down my barns, and will build greater; and into them will I gather all things that are grown to me, and my goods.
Shindende nnei, shimomole nngokwe yangu na shinjenje jikulungwa, mwenemo shimishe yalya yowe na indu yangu.
19 And I will say to my soul: Soul, thou hast much goods laid up for many years take thy rest; eat, drink, make good cheer.
Penepo shiniibheleketele shamuntima, nnaino ukwete shibhiko sha pwaa yaka ya igwinji. Bhai pumulila, gwiilile na gwiing'wele na kuangalila.’
20 But God said to him: Thou fool, this night do they require thy soul of thee: and whose shall those things be which thou hast provided?
Ikabheje a Nnungu gubhannugulile, ‘Mmangumba mmwe, shilo sha lelo ntima gwenu upinga tolwa. Na indu yowe imwiibhishile ila shiibhe ikeni?’”
21 So is he that layeth up treasure for himself, and is not rich towards God.
A Yeshu gubhamalishiye kwa bheleketa, “Na malinga mundu akwiibhishila indu nnyene, ikabheje kwa a Nnungu jwangali shindu.”
22 And he said to his disciples: Therefore I say to you, be not solicitous for your life, what you shall eat; nor for your body, what you shall put on.
Kwa nneyo a Yeshu gubhaabhalanjilenje bhaajiganywa bhabho, “Kwa lyene ligongolyo, nnakolanje lipamba ga shalya sha lamila, wala ga iwalo.
23 The life is more than the meat, and the body is more than the raiment.
Pabha gumi ni gwa mmbone kupunda shalya, na shiilu ni sha mmbone kupunda iwalo.
24 Consider the ravens, for they sow not, neither do they reap, neither have they storehouse nor barn, and God feedeth them. How much are you more valuable than they?
Nngalolanje makungulu, gakapanda na gakaneng'ena na wala gangali nngokwe jojowe. Nkali nneyo a Nnungu bhanakugaliya. Mmanganya ni bhammbonenji kupunda ijuni!
25 And which of you, by taking thought, can add to his stature one cubit?
Gani munkumbi gwenunji kwa lajilila kwakwe akombola kwiijenjesheya kapela lyubha limo lya gumi gwakwe?
26 If then ye be not able to do so much as the least thing, why are you solicitous for the rest?
Bhai, monaga nkakombolanga kutenda shindu shishoko malinga shenesho, kwa nndi nnajililanje na ganago?
27 Consider the lilies, how they grow: they labour not, neither do they spin. But I say to you, not even Solomon in all his glory was clothed like one of these.
Nnolanje malubha ga mukonde shigakuti bhulika. Gakapota wala gakaluka. Ikabheje ngunakummalanjilanga, nkali a Shelemani na shuma kwabho kowe bhangawashwa kwa konja malinga lilubha limo.
28 Now if God clothe in this manner the grass that is today in the field, and tomorrow is cast into the oven; how much more you, O ye of little faith?
Bhai ibhaga, a Nnungu bhanakuliwasha nneyo liamba lya mukonde linkulibhonanga lelo na malabhi linaleshelwa pamoto, bhuli, mmanganya bhakanng'washanga kupunda genego? Mmanganya bha ngulupai jishoko!
29 And seek not you what you shall eat, or what you shall drink: and be not lifted up on high.
“Bhai nnaabhushilanje ga shalya eu ga ya papila wala nnakolanje lipamba.
30 For all these things do the nations of the world seek. But your Father knoweth that you have need of these things.
Pabha bhandu bhowe bhakakwaamanyanga a Nnungu, yeneyo peyo ni ibhaabhushilanga. Ikabheje Ainabhenunji bhamumanyi kuti mmanganya nnakwiipinganga yene induyo.
31 But seek ye first the kingdom of God and his justice, and all these things shall be added unto you.
Ikabhe nng'abhushilanje oti Upalume gwa a Nnungu, na ina yowe shimpatanje.”
32 Fear not, little flock, for it hath pleased your Father to give you a kingdom.
“Nnajogopanje, mmandunji bha likundi lishoko! Pabha Ainabhenunji bhashiengwa kumpanganga Upalume gwabho.
33 Sell what you possess and give alms. Make to yourselves bags which grow not old, a treasure in heaven which faileth not: where no thief approacheth, nor moth corrupteth.
Nng'ushanje indu yenunji, mmbiyayo mwaapanganje bhaalaga. Mwialashiyanje mipatila jangalala nikwiibhishila shibhiko kunnungu kuikaamala. Kweneko bhagwii bhakajinjilanga, wala mang'ong'ota gakaalibhia.
34 For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.
Pabha pushili shibhiko shenu na ntima gwenu shigubhe popo.
35 Let your loins be girt, and lamps burning in your hands.
“Mmanganje tayali kwa liengo, na kandili yenunji ilikolela,
36 And you yourselves like to men who wait for their lord, when he shall return from the wedding; that when he cometh and knocketh, they may open to him immediately.
mmanganje malinga bhatumishi bhakwaalindililanga bhakulungwa bhabhonji bhabhuje kukopoka kundoa, nkupinga shangu bhaugulilanje pushibhaolishiyepo.
37 Blessed are those servants, whom the Lord when he cometh, shall find watching. Amen I say to you, that he will gird himself, and make them sit down to meat, and passing will minister unto them.
Mbaya bhene bhatumishi bhakulungwa bhabhonji pushibhabhuje, shibhaaimananje bhalisheyanga! Kweli ngunakummalanjilanga, bhene bhakulungwabho shibhaibhishe ukoto kwa liengo, nikwaatamikanga bhalyanganje shalya, akuno bhalikwaatumishilanga.
38 And if he shall come in the second watch, or come in the third watch, and find them so, blessed are those servants.
Nkali bhabhuje pakati shilo eu kumashelo, mbaya bhene bhatumishi bhushiaimananje bhalisheyanga!
39 But this know ye, that if the householder did know at what hour the thief would come, he would surely watch, and would not suffer his house to be broken open.
Mmumanyanje kuti, kaliji nnyene nyumba akagamanyi malanga ga kwiya nngwii, akasheshiye, wala akanaleshe nyumba jakwe jibhomolwe.
40 Be you then also ready: for at what hour you think not, the Son of man will come.
Nneila peila numbe mmanganya mmanganje muulolelo, pabha Mwana juka Mundu anakwiya malanga gunkakugalolelanga.”
41 And Peter said to him: Lord, dost thou speak this parable to us, or likewise to all?
A Petili gubhaabhushiye a Yeshu, “Mmakulungwa, lwene lutangolu ntutanjile uwepe, eu bhandu bhowe?”
42 And the Lord said: Who (thinkest thou) is the faithful and wise steward, whom his lord setteth over his family, to give them their measure of wheat in due season?
Bhakulungwa gubhajangwile, Bhai, igala gani ali nkulungwa jwa bhatumishi akwete lunda, lwa kwaatenda bhakulungwa bhakwe bhammishe kubha nkulungwa jwa bhatumishi bhabho, nkupinga abhapanganje shalya malanga ga pwaa?
43 Blessed is that servant, whom when his lord shall come, he shall find so doing.
Shiibhe mbaya jwene nkulungwa jwa bhatumishijo, bhakulungwa bhakwe pushibhabhujepo bhanng'imane alitenda nneyo.
44 Verily I say to you, he will set him over all that he possesseth.
Kweli ngunakummalanjilanga, shibhantende nkulungwa jwa indu yabho yowe.
45 But if that servant shall say in his heart: My lord is long a coming; and shall begin to strike the menservants and maidservants, and to eat and to drink and be drunk:
Ikabheje jwene ntumishijo aibheleketelaga sha muntima, bhakulungwa bhangu bhanakabha kubhuja, nitandubha kwaakomanga bhatumishi ajakwe, bhanabhalume na bhanabhakongwe, nilya na ng'wa na kolelwa,
46 The lord of that servant will come in the day that he hopeth not, and at the hour that he knoweth not, and shall separate him, and shall appoint him his portion with unbelievers.
bhakulungwa bhakwe shibhabhuje lyubha lyangalilolela na malanga gangagamanya, shibhanngabhanye ipande ibhili, nikummika pamo na bhangakulupalikanga.
47 And that servant who knew the will of his lord, and prepared not himself, and did not according to his will, shall be beaten with many stripes.
Ntumishi akugamanya gubhapinga bhakulungwa bhakwe, ikabhe akaatenda ibhapinga, shapanyangulwe kaje.
48 But he that knew not, and did things worthy of stripes, shall be beaten with few stripes. And unto whomsoever much is given, of him much shall be required: and to whom they have committed much, of him they will demand the more.
Ikabheje akakumumanya jula, atendaga ya kummulaya apanyangulwe, shapanyangulwe kashoko. Jojowe apegwilwe yaigwinji, shalongwe yaigwinji, akulupalilwe kwa yaigwinji, shiipinjikwe yaigwinji.
49 I am come to cast fire on the earth; and what will I, but that it be kindled?
“Njikwiya koleya moto pa shilambolyo, mbaya ukaliji ukoleywe!
50 And I have a baptism wherewith I am to be baptized: and how am I straitened until it be accomplished?
Ikabheje njikola ubhatisho gungupinjikwa matishwe, ngunapupa ntima mpaka gwene ubhatishogo umalile!
51 Think ye, that I am come to give peace on earth? I tell you, no; but separation.
Punkuganishiyanga nyile peleka ulele pa shilambolyo? Wala kashoko, nngabha ulele ikabhe malekano.
52 For there shall be from henceforth five in one house divided: three against two, and two against three.
Na kutandubhila nnaino, bhandunji nng'ano bha likaja limo bhapinga taukangana, bhatatu kwa bhabhili, na bhabhili kwa bhatatu.
53 The father shall be divided against the son, and the son against his father, the mother against the daughter, and the daughter against the mother, the mother in law against her daughter in law, and the daughter in law against her mother in law.
Ainamundu shibhantaushe mwanagwabho, na mwana shabhataushe ainagwe, anyinamundu shibhantaushe mwali jwabho, na jwalakwe mwali shabhataushe akwabhe, akwemundu shibhantaushe nkamwanagwabho na nkamwanamundu shabhataushe akwebhakwe.”
54 And he said also to the multitudes: When you see a cloud rising from the west, presently you say: A shower is coming: and so it happeneth:
A Yeshu gubhabhekete kabhili na lugwinjili, “Punkugabhonanga maunde galikoposhela kulititimila lyubha, shangupe nnabheleketanga, ‘Shijinye ula,’ na jinanya.
55 And when ye see the south wind blow, you say: There will be heat: and it cometh to pass.
Nnjibhonangaga mbungo ja kwibhanda jinipuga, nnabheleketanga, ‘Kupingabhala lyubha,’ na pwikubha nneyo peyo.
56 You hypocrites, you know how to discern the face of the heaven and of the earth: but how is it that you do not discern this time?
Mmanganya mmagulumba! Nnamanyanga kulondola kunya kwa ula eu kubhala kwa lyubha, kwa lola shilambo na kunani, bhai kwa nndi nkakujimanyanga jene miongwe jino?
57 And why even of yourselves, do you not judge that which is just?
“Kwa nndi mwaashayene nkaamuanga kutenda ya aki?
58 And when thou goest with thy adversary to the prince, whilst thou art in the way, endeavour to be delivered from him: lest perhaps he draw thee to the judge, and the judge deliver thee to the exacter, and the exacter cast thee into prison.
Monaga mmagongo nnjenu alikwenda kunshitakiya, mbaya kujuga kuleshelelwa nninginji mumpanda, nkupinga anampeleshe ku bhaukumula, na bhaukumula bhanakunkamuya kwa ashimanjola, na bhalakwe ashimanjola bhanakuntabha.
59 I say to thee, thou shalt not go out thence, until thou pay the very last mite.
Kweli ngunakummalanjila nkakopoka mwenemo, mpaka nnipe mmbiya ja malishiya.”
