Luke 12
1 In the meane time, there gathered together an innumerable multitude of people, so that they trode one another: and he began to say vnto his disciples first, Take heede to your selues of the leauen of the Pharises, which is hypocrisie.
Nthawi yomweyo, anthu miyandamiyanda atasonkhana, ndi kumapondanapondana, Yesu anayamba kuyankhula poyamba kwa ophunzira ake, nati, “Chenjereni ndi yisiti wa Afarisi, amene ndi chinyengo.
2 For there is nothing couered, that shall not bee reueiled: neither hidde, that shall not be knowen.
Palibe chinthu chophimbika chimene sichidzawululika, kapena chobisika chimene sichidzadziwika.
3 Wherefore whatsoeuer yee haue spoken in darkenesse, it shall be heard in the light: and that which ye haue spoken in the eare, in secret places, shall be preached on the houses.
Chimene mwanena mu mdima chidzamveka dzuwa likuwala, ndipo zimene mwanongʼona mʼkhutu mʼchipinda chamʼkati, zidzayankhulidwa pa denga la nyumba.
4 And I say vnto you, my friendes, be not afraide of them that kill the bodie, and after that are not able to doe any more.
“Ine ndikuwuzani, abwenzi anga, musachite mantha ndi amene amapha thupi chifukwa akatero sangachitenso kanthu.
5 But I wil forewarne you, who ye shall feare: feare him which after hee hath killed, hath power to cast into hell: yea, I say vnto you, him feare. (Geenna g1067)
Koma Ine ndidzakuonetsani amene muyenera kumuopa: Wopani Iye, amene pambuyo pakupha thupi, ali ndi mphamvu yakukuponyani ku gehena. Inde, Ine ndikuwuzani, muopeni Iye. (Geenna g1067)
6 Are not fiue sparowes bought for two farthings, and yet not one of them is forgotten before God?
Kodi atimba asanu samagulidwa ndi ndalama ziwiri? Ngakhale zili chomwecho palibe imodzi ya izo imene imayiwalika ndi Mulungu.
7 Yea, and all the heares of your head are nombred: feare not therefore: yee are more of value then many sparowes.
Ndithudi, tsitsi lonse la mʼmutu mwanu ndi lowerengedwa. Musachite mantha; inu ndi oposa kwambiri mpheta zambiri.
8 Also I say vnto you, Whosoeuer shall confesse mee before men, him shall the Sonne of man confesse also before the Angels of God.
“Ine ndikukuwuza kuti, aliyense amene avomereza Ine pamaso pa anthu, Mwana wa Munthu adzamuvomerezanso pamaso pa angelo a Mulungu.
9 But hee that shall denie mee before men, shall be denied before the Angels of God.
Koma iye amene andikana Ine pamaso pa anthu adzakanidwanso pamaso pa angelo a Mulungu.
10 And whosoeuer shall speake a woorde against the Sonne of man, it shall be forgiuen him: but vnto him, that shall blaspheme ye holy Ghost, it shall not be forgiuen.
Ndipo aliyense amene ayankhulira Mwana wa Munthu mawu oyipa adzakhululukidwa, koma iye wochitira mwano Mzimu Woyera sadzakhululukidwa.
11 And when they shall bring you vnto the Synagogues, and vnto the rulers and Princes, take no thought howe, or what thing ye shall answere, or what yee shall speake.
“Akadzakutengerani ku masunagoge pamaso pa oweruza ndi a maulamuliro, musadere nkhawa mmene mudzadzitchinjirizire nokha kapena chimene mudzayankhule,
12 For the holy Ghost shall teache you in the same houre, what yee ought to say.
pakuti Mzimu Woyera nthawi imeneyo adzakuphunzitsani zoyenera kunena.”
13 And one of the companie said vnto him, Master, bidde my brother deuide the inheritance with me.
Munthu wina mʼgulu la anthu anati kwa Iye, “Aphunzitsi, muwuzeni mʼbale wanga andigawireko chuma chamasiye.”
14 And he said vnto him, Man, who made me a iudge, or a deuider ouer you?
Yesu anayankha kuti, “Munthu iwe, ndani anandiyika Ine kukhala woweruza kapena wogawa chuma pakati panu?”
15 Wherefore he said vnto them, Take heede, and beware of couetousnesse: for though a man haue abundance, yet his life standeth not in his riches.
Kenaka Iye anawawuza kuti, “Chenjerani! Khalani tcheru ndi makhalidwe onse adyera; moyo wa munthu sukhala chifukwa cha kuchuluka kwa zimene ali nazo.”
16 And he put foorth a parable vnto them, saying, The grounde of a certaine riche man brought foorth fruites plenteously.
Ndipo Iye anawawuza fanizo ili, “Munda wa munthu wina wachuma unabereka kwambiri.
17 Therefore he thought with himselfe, saying, What shall I doe, because I haue no roume, where I may lay vp my fruites?
Iye anaganiza kuti, ‘Ndichite chiyani? Ndilibe malo osungiramo mbewu zanga.’
18 And he said, This wil I do, I wil pul downe my barnes, and builde greater, and therein will I gather all my fruites, and my goods.
“Ndipo Iye anati, ichi ndi chimene ndidzachite: Ndidzaphwasula nkhokwe zanga zonse ndi kumanga zokulirapo, ndipo ndidzasungira mʼmenemo mbewu ndi katundu.
19 And I wil say to my soule, Soule, thou hast much goods laide vp for many yeeres: liue at ease, eate, drinke and take thy pastime.
Ndipo ndidzawuza moyo wanga kuti, ‘Uli nazo zinthu zabwino zambiri zimene zikhalepo zaka zambiri, usapupulume; idya, imwa ndi kukondwera.’”
20 But God said vnto him, O foole, this night wil they fetch away thy soule from thee: then whose shall those things be which thou hast prouided?
“Koma Mulungu anati kwa iye, ‘Iwe wopusa! Usiku womwe uno moyo wako udzachotsedwa kwa iwe, ndipo ndi ndani amene adzatenge zimene iwe wadzikonzera?’
21 So is he that gathereth riches to himselfe, and is not riche in God.
“Umu ndi mmene zidzakhalire ndi aliyense amene amadziwunjikira chuma, koma si wachuma pamaso pa Mulungu.”
22 And he spake vnto his disciples, Therefore I say vnto you, Take no thought for your life, what yee shall eate: neither for your body, what yee shall put on.
Kenaka Yesu anati kwa ophunzira ake, “Choncho Ine ndikuwuzani kuti musadere nkhawa za moyo wanu, zimene mudzadya; kapena za thupi lanu, zimene mudzavala.
23 The life is more then meate: and the body more then the raiment.
Moyo uposa chakudya, ndi thupi liposa chovala.
24 Consider the rauens: for they neither sowe nor reape: which neither haue storehouse nor barne, and yet God feedeth them: how much more are yee better then foules?
Taonani makwangwala: iwo safesa kapena kukolola, alibe nyumba zosungamo zinthu kapena nkhokwe; komabe, Mulungu amawadyetsa. Koposa kotani inu amene ndi ofunikira kuposa mbalame.
25 And which of you with taking thought, can adde to his stature one cubite?
Ndi ndani wa inu akhoza kuwonjeza ora pa moyo wake chifukwa cha kudandaula?
26 If yee then bee not able to doe the least thing, why take yee thought for the remnant?
Popeza simungathe kuchita kanthu kakangʼono aka, nʼchifukwa chiyani mumadandaula ndi zinazi?
27 Consider the lilies howe they growe: they labour not, neither spin they: yet I say vnto you, that Salomon himselfe in all his royaltie was not clothed like one of these.
“Taonani mmene maluwa amakulira. Iwo sagwira ntchito kapena kusoka zovala. Koma Ine ndikuwuzani kuti, ngakhale Solomoni muulemelero wake wonse sanavalepo ngati limodzi la awa.
28 If then God so clothe the grasse which is to day in the field, and to morowe is cast into the ouen, howe much more will he clothe you, O yee of litle faith?
Ngati umu ndi mmene Mulungu amavekera udzu wakuthengo, umene lero ulipo ndipo mawa uponyedwa pa moto, nanga Iye adzakuvekani inu motani. Haa! Inu achikhulupiriro chochepa!
29 Therefore aske not what yee shall eate, or what ye shall drinke, neither hag you in suspense.
Ndipo musayike mtima wanu pa zimene mudzadye kapena kumwa; musade nazo nkhawa.
30 For all such things the people of the world seeke for: and your Father knoweth that ye haue neede of these things.
Pakuti anthu akunja amathamanga kufunafuna zinthu zotere, ndipo Atate amadziwa kuti mumazifuna zimenezi.
31 But rather seeke ye after the kingdome of God, and all these things shalbe cast vpon you.
Koma funafunani ufumu wake, ndipo mudzapatsidwa zonsezi.
32 Feare not, litle flocke: for it is your Fathers pleasure, to giue you the kingdome.
“Musachite mantha, inu kagulu kankhosa, pakuti zinakondweretsa Atate anu kuti akupatseni ufumu.
33 Sell that ye haue, and giue almes: make you bagges, which waxe not old, a treasure that can neuer faile in heauen, where no theefe commeth, neither mothe corrupteth.
Gulitsani zonse zimene muli nazo, ndipo ndalama zake mupereke kwa osauka. Dzipezereni zikwama zandalama zimene sizidzatha, ndi kudzikundikira chuma chomwe sichidzatha kumwamba, kumene mbala sizingafikeko, ndipo dzimbiri silingawononge.
34 For where your treasure is, there will your hearts be also.
Popeza kumene kuli chuma chanu, mtima wanunso udzakhala komweko.”
35 Let your loynes be gird about and your lights burning,
“Khalani okonzekeratu ndipo nyale zanu ziziyaka,
36 And ye your selues like vnto men that waite for their master, when he will returne from the wedding, that when he commeth and knocketh, they may open vnto him immediatly.
ngati anthu oyembekezera kubwera kwa mbuye wawo kuchokera kuphwando la ukwati, kuti pamene afika ndi kugogoda akhoza nthawi yomweyo kumutsekulira chitseko.
37 Blessed are those seruants, whom the Lord when he commeth shall finde waking: verely I say vnto you, he will girde himselfe about, and make them to sit downe at table, and will come forth, and serue them.
Zidzakhala bwino kwa antchitowo amene mbuye wawo pobwera adzawapeze akudikira. Zoonadi, Ine ndikuwuzani kuti adzakonzekera kuwatumikira, adzakhala nawo pa tebulo ndipo adzabwera ndi kuwatumikira.
38 And if he come in the seconde watch, or come in the third watch, and shall finde them so, blessed are those seruants.
Zidzakhala bwino kwa antchitowo amene mbuye wawo adzawapeze ali okonzeka, ngakhale iye atabwera pa ora lachiwiri kapena lachitatu usiku.
39 Nowe vnderstand this, that if the good man of the house had knowen at what houre the theefe would haue come, he would haue watched, and would not haue suffered his house to be digged through.
Koma zindikirani izi: Ngati mwini nyumba akanadziwa ora limene mbala ibwera, sakanalola kuti nyumba yake ithyoledwe.
40 Be ye also prepared therefore: for the Sonne of man will come at an houre when ye thinke not.
Inunso muyenera kukhala okonzeka, chifukwa Mwana wa Munthu adzabwera pa ora limene simukumuyembekezera Iye.”
41 Then Peter saide vnto him, Master, tellest thou this parable vnto vs, or euen to all?
Petro anafunsa kuti, “Kodi mukunena fanizoli kwa ife, kapena kwa aliyense?”
42 And the Lord saide, Who is a faithfull steward and wise, whom the master shall make ruler ouer his householde, to giue them their portion of meate in season?
Ambuye anayankha kuti, “Kodi tsono woyangʼanira wokhulupirika ndi wanzeru ndani? Kodi ndi amene mbuye wake wamuyika kukhala oyangʼanira antchito ake kuti aziwapatsa ndalama yachakudya pa nthawi yake yoyenera?
43 Blessed is that seruant, whom his master when he commeth, shall finde so doing.
Zidzamukhalira bwino wantchito amene mbuye wake adzamupeza akuchita zimene pamene iye abwera.
44 Of a trueth I say vnto you, that he wil make him ruler ouer all that he hath.
Zoonadi, Ine ndikukuwuzani kuti adzamuyika kukhala woyangʼanira katundu wake yense.
45 But if that seruant say in his heart, My master doeth deferre his comming, and ginne to smite the seruants, and maydens, and to eate, and drinke, and to be drunken,
Koma tiyerekeze kuti wantchitoyo aziganiza mu mtima mwake kuti, ‘Bwana wanga akuchedwa kwambiri kubwera,’ ndipo kenaka ndi kuyamba kumenya antchito aamuna ndi aakazi ndi kudya, kumwa ndi kuledzera.
46 The master of that seruant will come in a day when he thinketh not, and at an houre when he is not ware of, and will cut him off, and giue him his portion with the vnbeleeuers.
Mbuye wake adzabwera tsiku limene iye sakumuyembekezera ndi ora limene iye sakudziwa. Iye adzamulanga ndi kumusiya kumalo kumene kuli osakhulupirira.
47 And that seruant that knewe his masters will, and prepared not himselfe, neither did according to his will, shalbe beaten with many stripes.
“Wantchito amene amadziwa chifuniro cha mbuye wake koma wosakonzeka kapena wosachita chimene mbuye wake akufuna adzakwapulidwa zikwapu zambiri.
48 But he that knewe it not, and yet did commit things worthy of stripes, shall be beaten with fewe stripes: for vnto whomsoeuer much is giuen, of him shalbe much required, and to whom men much commit, the more of him will they aske.
Koma wantchito amene sadziwa koma nʼkuchita zinthu zoyenera chilango, adzakwapulidwa zikwapu zochepa. Aliyense amene anapatsidwa zambiri, adzayenera kubwezanso zambiri; ndipo amene anamusungitsa zambiri, adzamulamula kuti abweze zambirinso.”
49 I am come to put fire on the earth, and what is my desire, if it be already kindled?
“Ine ndabwera kudzayatsa moto pa dziko lapansi, ndipo ndikanakonda ukanayaka kale.
50 Notwithstanding I must be baptized with a baptisme, and how am I grieued, till it be ended?
Koma Ine ndiyenera kubatizidwa, ndipo ndikusautsika mu mtima mpaka utachitika!
51 Thinke ye that I am come to giue peace on earth? I tell you, nay, but rather debate.
Kodi mukuganiza kuti Ine ndinabwera kudzabweretsa mtendere pa dziko lapansi? Ayi, Ine ndikukuwuzani kuti, ndinabweretsa kugawikana.
52 For from hencefoorth there shall be fiue in one house deuided, three against two, and two against three.
Kuyambira tsopano mpaka mʼtsogolo mʼbanja limodzi mudzakhala anthu asanu ndipo adzawukirana wina ndi mnzake, atatu kuwukira awiri, ndipo awiri kuwukira atatu.
53 The father shalbe deuided against ye sonne, and the sonne against the father: the mother against the daughter, and the daughter against the mother: the mother in lawe against her daughter in lawe, and the daughter in lawe against her mother in lawe.
Anthu adzawukirana. Abambo kudzawukira mwana wawo wamwamuna, mwana wawoyo adzawukira abambo ake. Amayi adzawukira mwana wawo wamkazi, mwana wawoyo adzawukira amayi ake. Amayi adzawukira mpongozi wawo wamkazi, mpongoziyo adzawukira amayiwo.”
54 Then said he to the people, When ye see a cloude rise out of the West, straightway ye say, A shower commeth: and so it is.
Iye anati kwa gulu la anthu, “Pamene mukuona mtambo ukukwera kummawa, nthawi yomweyo inu mumati, ‘kugwa mvula,’ ndipo imagwadi.
55 And when ye see the South winde blowe, ye say, that it wilbe hoate: and it commeth to passe.
Ndipo pamene mphepo yakummwera ikuwomba, inu mumati ‘kutentha’ ndipo kumaterodi.
56 Hypocrites, ye can discerne the face of the earth, and of the skie: but why discerne ye not this time?
Achiphamaso inu! Inu mumadziwa kutanthauzira maonekedwe a dziko lapansi ndi thambo. Zikutheka bwanji kuti simukudziwa kumasulira kwa nthawi ino?
57 Yea, and why iudge ye not of your selues what is right?
“Bwanji simukuzindikira nokha zoyenera kuchita?
58 While thou goest with thine aduersarie to the ruler, as thou art in the way, giue diligence in the way, that thou mayest be deliuered from him, least he drawe thee to the iudge, and the iudge deliuer thee to the iayler, and the iayler cast thee into prison.
Pamene mukupita kwa woweruza ndi amene munalakwirana naye, yesetsani kwambiri kuti muyanjane naye mʼnjiramo, chifukwa mukapanda kutero akhoza kukutengerani ku bwalo la milandu ndipo woweruzayo adzakuperekani kwa woyangʼanira ndende, ndipo woyangʼanira ndendeyo adzakuponyani mʼndende.
59 I tell thee, thou shalt not depart thence, till thou hast payed the vtmost mite.
Ine ndikuwuzani kuti, simudzatulukamo mpaka mutalipira ndalama zonse.”
