Luke 12
1 In the meantime, myriads of the multitude having gathered together, So that they trode on one another, He began to speak to His disciples first; Take heed unto yourselves from the leaven of the Pharisees, which is hypocrisy.
Mu kiseera ekyo ekibiina ky’abantu bangi nnyo, ne bakuŋŋaana n’okulinnyaganako ne balinnyaganako. Awo Yesu n’akyukira abayigirizwa be, n’abalabula ng’agamba nti, “Mwekuume ekizimbulukusa bwe bannanfuusi bw’Abafalisaayo.
2 But there is nothing hidden, which shall not be revealed: and concealed, that shall not be made known.
Tewali ekyakisibwa ekitalimanyibwa, newaakubadde ekyakwekebwa ekitalizuulibwa.
3 Therefore so many things as you spoke in the darkness shall be heard in the light; and whatsoever you spoke in the ear in the secret chambers shall be proclaimed upon the houses.
Noolwekyo bye mwogeredde mu kizikiza biriwulirwa mu musana, n’ebyo bye mwogedde mu kaama, nga muli mu kisenge n’enzigi nga nzigale, bigenda kulangirirwa ku busolya bw’ennyumba.
4 And I say unto you, my friends, Be not afraid of those killing the body, and after these things, having nothing more to do.
“Kaakano mikwano gyange, temubatyanga abo abatta omubiri, naye ne batabaako kirala kye bayinza kukola.
5 But I will show you whom you must fear: Fear him, who after he kills has power to cast into hell. Yea, I say unto you, Fear him. (Geenna g1067)
Naye nzija kubalaga gwe musaanidde okutya. Mutyenga oyo alina obuyinza okutta ate n’okusuula mu ggeyeena. Weewaawo mbagamba nti oyo gwe musaanye okutyanga. (Geenna g1067)
6 Are not five sparrows sold for two pennies? and one of them is not forgotten before God.
Enkazaluggya ettaano tezigula sente bbiri zokka? Naye Katonda tazeerabira wadde emu bw’eti.
7 But even the hairs of your head are all numbered. Fear not: ye are more important than many sparrows.
Era amanyi enviiri eziri ku mutwe gwo nga bwe zenkana obungi. Temutya kubanga mmwe muli ba muwendo nnyo okusinga enkazaluggya ennyingi.
8 But I say unto you, that every one who may confess me before the people, the Son of man will also confess him before the angels of God.
“Era mbategeeza nti buli anjatula mu maaso g’abantu, n’Omwana w’Omuntu, alimwatula mu maaso ga bamalayika ba Katonda.
9 But the one denying me before the people will be denied before the angels of God.
Naye oyo anneegaanira mu maaso g’abantu, n’Omwana w’Omuntu alimwegaanira mu maaso ga bamalayika ba Katonda.
10 And every one who shall speak a word against the Son of man, it shall be forgiven him: but to him having blasphemed against the Holy Ghost, it shall not be forgiven.
Na buli muntu alyogera ekigambo ku Mwana w’Omuntu alisonyiyibwa, naye oyo alivvoola Mwoyo Mutukuvu tagenda kusonyiyibwa.
11 But when they may carry you into the synagogues, and tribunals, and authorities; do not be solicitous as to what you may apologize, or what you may say:
“Bwe banaabatwalanga mu makuŋŋaaniro, ne mu maaso g’abafuzi ne mu b’obuyinza temweraliikiriranga kye mulyogera mu kuwoza,
12 for the Holy Spirit will teach you in that hour the things which it behooveth you to speak.
kubanga Mwoyo Mutukuvu agenda kubawa eky’okwogera mu kiseera ekyo kyennyini.”
13 And a certain one from the multitude said to Him, Teacher, speak to my brother, to divide the inheritance with me.
Awo omuntu omu mu kibiina n’avaayo n’agamba Yesu nti, “Omuyigiriza, gamba muganda wange angabanyize ku by’obusika bwaffe.”
14 And He said to him; Man, who established me judge or a divider over you?
Naye Yesu n’amuddamu nti, “Owange, ani eyanfuula omulamuzi wammwe oba ow’okubamaliranga empaka zammwe?”
15 And He said to them, See, and beware of all covetousness: because his life is not in that which aboundeth to any one, from those things belonging to him.
N’abagamba nti, “Mwekuume! Temululunkananga. Kubanga obulamu bw’omuntu tebugererwa ku bugagga bw’abeera nabwo.”
16 He spake a parable to them, saying, The farm of a certain rich man was very productive:
Awo n’abagerera olugero luno nti, “Waaliwo omusajja omugagga eyalina ennimiro n’abaza ebibala bingi.
17 and he was reasoning in himself, saying, What shall I do, because I have no place where I shall store my fruits?
N’alowooza munda mu ye ng’agamba nti, ‘Nnaakola ntya? Kubanga sirina we nnaakuŋŋaanyiza bibala byange?’
18 And he said, I will do this: I will take down my barns, and build greater, and there I will gather all my fruits and my goods.
“Kwe kugamba nti, ‘Ntegedde kye nnaakola, nzija kumenyawo amawanika gange gano, nzimbewo agasingako obunene! Omwo mwe nnaakuŋŋaanyiza ebibala byange byonna n’ebintu byange.
19 And I will say to my soul, Soul, thou hast much goods laid up for many years; take thine ease, eat, drink, be merry.
Era nzija kugamba emmeeme yange nti, “Emmeeme, weeterekedde bingi mu mawanika go okukuyisa mu myaka mingi egijja. Wummula, olye, onywe era weesanyuse!”’
20 But God said to him, Thou fool, this night they are demanding thy soul from thee; and to whom shall those things which thou hast prepared, belong?
“Naye Katonda n’amugamba nti, ‘Musirusiru ggwe! Ekiro kino emmeeme yo eneekuggibwako. Kale ebyo bye weetegekedde binaaba by’ani?’
21 So is every one laying up treasure for himself, and not rich toward God.
“Bwe kityo bwe kiriba eri buli muntu eyeeterekera, so nga mwavu eri Katonda.”
22 And He spoke to His disciples, Therefore I say unto you, Be not solicitous for your soul, what you may eat; nor for your body, what you may put on.
Awo Yesu n’agamba abayigirizwa be nti, “Noolwekyo mbagamba nti, Temweraliikiriranga bya bulamu bwammwe oba mmere gye munaalya oba engoye ez’okwambala.
23 The soul is more than food, and the body more than raiment.
Kubanga omwoyo gusinga wala emmere n’omubiri gusinga ebyambalo.
24 Observe the ravens, because they neither sow nor reap; to which there is no storehouse nor barn, and God feeds them; are you not much better than the fowls?
Mulowooze ku namuŋŋoona, tezisiga so tezikungula, era tezirina na mawanika mwe zitereka mmere yaazo, naye Katonda aziriisa. Naye mmwe muli ba muwendo nnyo okukira ennyonyi ezo!
25 And which one of you being solicitous is able to add one moment to his existence?
Ani ku mmwe bwe yeeraliikirira, ayinza okwongerayo obulamu bwe akatundu n’akamu?
26 If then you are powerless in the smallest matter, why are you solicitous about other things?
Obanga temusobola kukola kantu katono ng’ako, kale kikugasa ki okweraliikirira ebintu ebirala?
27 Observe the lilies, how they toil not, neither do they spin: and I say unto you, That Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed as one of these.
“Mutunuulire amalanga bwe gakula! Tegategana wadde okulanga ewuzi z’engoye, naye mbategeeza nti ne Sulemaani mu kitiibwa kye kyonna teyagenkana mu kwambala.
28 And if God so clothes the verdure flourishing in the fields to-day, and to-morrow cast into the oven; how much more are you, O ye of little faith?
Kale, obanga Katonda ayambaza bw’atyo omuddo ogw’omu nsiko, ogw’ekiseera obuseera ogubaawo leero ate enkeera ne gwokebwa mu kyoto, naye ate talisingawo nnyo okwambaza mmwe ab’okukkiriza okutono!
29 And do not seek what you may eat, and what you may drink, and with what you are clothed;
Temunoonyanga kye munaalya oba kye munaanywa, era temweraliikiriranga n’akatono.
30 for the heathens of the world are seeking after all these things: but your Father knows that you have need of these things.
Kubanga ebintu ebyo byonna amawanga ge biyaayaanira, naye Kitammwe amanyi nga mubyetaaga.
31 Moreover seek His kingdom and these things shall be added unto you.
Naye munoonye obwakabaka bwe, n’ebintu ebyo mulibyongerwako.
32 Fear not, little flock; because your Father is well pleased to give you the kingdom.
“Temutya, mmwe ekisibo ekitono, kubanga Kitammwe asiimye okubawa obwakabaka.
33 Sell your possessions and give alms; make for yourselves purses that will not get old, and treasure in the heavens which can not be stolen, where the thief does not draw nigh, nor the moth corrupt.
Mutunde ebintu byammwe, ensimbi ze muggyamu muzigabire abo abeetaaga, mwetungire ensawo ezitakaddiwa era mweterekere mu ggulu mu tterekero eritaggwaamu bintu, omubbi gy’atasembera wadde ennyenje gye zitayonoonera.
34 For where your treasure is, there your heart will be.
Kubanga obugagga bwo gye buli, n’omutima gwo gye gunaabeeranga.
35 Let your loins be girted, and your lamps burning;
“Mube beetegefu olw’obuweereza, era mukuume ettabaaza zammwe nga zaaka.
36 and be you like unto men waiting for their lord, when he may rise up from the marriage feast; in order that, coming and knocking, they may open unto him immediately.
Mube ng’abasajja abalindirira mukama waabwe; bw’akomawo okuva mu mbaga y’obugole, n’akonkona banguwa okumuggulirawo oluggi.
37 Blessed are those servants, whom the lord having come will find watching: truly I say unto you, that he will gird himself, and have them sit down, and having come will serve them.
Balina omukisa abaddu abo, mukama waabwe baalisanga nga batunula. Ddala ddala mbagamba nti, agenda kwambala atuuze abaddu abo ku mmeeza abagabule.
38 If at the second, and third, watch he may come, happy are ye.
Balina omukisa abo, bw’alijja mu kisisimuka ekyokusatu, baalisanga nga batunula.
39 Know this, that if the landlord knew at what hour the thief cometh, he would not have permitted his house to be broken into.
“Naye mutegeere kino: singa ssemaka amanya essaawa omubbi w’anaayingirira okumenya ennyumba ye, teyandiganyizza mubbi kumuyingirira.
40 Be ye also ready: because at an hour you do not think the Son of man cometh.
Noolwekyo mubeere beetegefu. Kubanga Omwana w’Omuntu, ajjira mu kiseera kye mutamulowoolezaamu.”
41 And Peter said to Him, Lord, do you speak this parable to us, or to all?
Awo Peetero n’amubuuza nti, “Mukama waffe, olugero luno olugeredde ffe, oba bonna?”
42 The Lord said, Who then is the faithful, wise steward, whom the lord will establish over his house-hold, to give them their food in season?
Mukama waffe n’addamu nti, “Omuweereza oyo omwesigwa era ow’amagezi ye aluwa mukama we gw’alikwasa obuvunaanyizibwa obw’okulabirira abaweereza be n’okugaba emmere mu kiseera ekituufu?
43 Happy is that servant, whom his lord having come shall thus find watching.
Alina omukisa mukama we bw’alikomawo gw’alisanga ng’atuukiriza bulungi emirimu gye.
44 Truly I say unto you, that he will establish him over all his possessions.
Ddala ddala mbagamba nti mukama we alimukwasa okulabirira ebintu bye byonna.
45 But if that servant may say in his heart, my lord delayeth his coming, and may begin to smite the servants and handmaidens, and to eat and drink, and be drunken;
Naye singa omuddu oyo alowooza mu mutima gwe nti, ‘Mukama wange ajja kulwawo okudda,’ n’adda ku baweereza banne, n’abakuba, n’ebiseera bye n’abimala mu kulya ne mu kunywa ne mu kutamiira,
46 the lord of that servant will come in a day in which he does not expect, and in an hour in which he does not know, and will cut him off, and will appoint his part with the unbelievers.
mukama we agenda kudda mu kiseera ky’atamusuubira, amubonereze, era amusuule eyo abatakkiriza gye bali.
47 But that servant knowing the will of his lord, and not preparing or doing according to his will, shall be beaten with many stripes.
“Omuweereza oyo eyamanya mukama we by’ayagala akole, kyokka ye n’atabikola agenda kuweebwa ekibonerezo kinene.
48 But the one not knowing, and doing things worthy of stripes, shall be beaten with few. But to every one to whom much is given, much will be required of him: and to whom they commit much, of him they will ask the more.
Naye ataamanya n’akola ebisaanidde okumukubya alikubwa kitono. Oyo aweebwa ebingi alisuubirwamu bingi, n’oyo gwe basigira ebingi, alivunaanyizibwa bingi okusingawo.
49 I have come to send fire on the earth; and what do I will, if it is already kindled?
“Najja kuleeta muliro ku nsi, era kyandibadde kirungi singa gukoledde!
50 And I have a baptism to be baptized with; and how am I straitened till it may be perfected!
Nninayo okubatizibwa kwe ndibatizibwa, naye nzija kuba mu nnaku nnyingi nga tekunnaba kutuukirizibwa!
51 Do you think that I have come to give peace on the earth? I say unto you, Nay, but division.
Mulowooza nti najja kuleeta mirembe ku nsi? Mbategeeza nti sajja kuleeta mirembe wabula okwawukana.
52 For from now, there shall be five in one house divided, three shall be divided against two, and two against three:
Okuva kaakano amaka gajjanga kwawukanamu, ag’abantu abataano, abasatu ku bo nga bawakanya ababiri, n’ababiri nga bawakanya abasatu.
53 the father against the son, and the son against the father; and the mother against the daughter, and the daughter against the mother; the mother-in-law against the daughter-in-law, and the daughter-in-law against the mother-in-law.
Kitaawe w’omwana alyawukana ne mutabani we, n’omwana n’ayawukana ne kitaawe, ne nnyina w’omwana alyawukana ne muwala we n’omuwala n’ayawukana ne nnyina, ne nnyazaala balyawukana ne muka mwana we ne muka mwana n’ayawukana ne nnyazaala we.”
54 And he also spoke to the multitudes, When you may see a cloud rising from the west, you immediately say, that the rain cometh; and it is so:
Awo Yesu n’akyukira ekibiina n’abagamba nti, “Bwe mulaba ebire nga byekuluumulula ebugwanjuba, amangwago mugamba nti, ‘Enkuba egenda kutonnya,’ era n’etonnya.
55 and when the south wind is blowing, you say, that it will be hot; and it is so.
Ate empewo bw’ekunta ng’eva ku bukiikaddyo, mugamba nti, ‘Leero akasana kajja kwaka nnyo,’ era bwe kiba.
56 You hypocrites, you know how to discern the face of the earth and the firmament; and how do you not discern this time?
Bannanfuusi mmwe! Musobola bulungi okunnyonnyola obubonero obuli ku nsi ne mu bbanga, muyinza mutya obutamanya obubonero obw’omu kiseera kino?
57 Why do you not judge righteous judgment, even with reference to yourselves?
“Lwaki temwesalirawo ekyo kye mulaba nga kituufu?
58 For as you go with your adversary to the ruler, give attention on the way that you be reconciled with him; lest he may deliver you to the judge, and the judge shall turn you over to the officer, and the officer will cast you into prison.
Bw’obanga ogenda n’akuwawaabira mu mbuga z’amateeka, gezaako okumusaba ensonga zammwe muzimalire mu kkubo nga tezinnatuuka wa mulamuzi, talwa kukutwala wa mulamuzi, n’omulamuzi n’akuwaayo eri omuserikale, n’omuserikale n’akusibira mu kkomera.
59 I say unto you, You can by no means come out thence, till you have even paid the last mite.
Kubanga nkutegeeza nti togenda kuvaayo okutuusa nga ne sente esembayo omaze okugisasula.”
