Luke 12
1 At which time the myriads of the multitude having been gathered together, so as to tread on one another, He began to say to His disciples, first, “Take heed to yourselves of the leaven of the Pharisees, which is hypocrisy;
Pacindico bantu mpobalabungana kwalikuba Yesu, bantu balatatika kulyatana cebo cakufula, Yesu walatanguna kwambila beshikwiya bakendi eti, “Kamucenjelani kamutabeti cishikufufumisha shinkwa ca Bafalisi, pakwinga nkabenshi ncobakute kwamba.
2 and there is nothing covered that will not be revealed, and hid that will not be known;
Kantu kalikonse kafwekewa nikakafwekulwe nambi kasolama nikakenshibikwe.
3 because whatever you said in the darkness will be heard in the light, and what you spoke to the ear in the inner-chambers will be proclaimed on the housetops.
Neco bilibyonse mbyomulamba mumushinshe nibikanyufwike patuba pa bonse, mbyomulabelebeshana ne muntu mucipinda nibikambwe pamenso a bantu.”
4 And I say to you, my friends, do not be afraid of those killing the body, and after these things are not having anything more to do;
“Ndamwambilinga mobanse mutatina abo beshikushina mubili, nomba kuliya nacimbi ncobela kwinsapo.
5 but I will show to you whom you may fear: fear Him who, after the killing, is having authority to cast into Gehenna; yes, I say to you, fear Him. (Geenna g1067)
Lino ndamwambilingeti ngomwelela kutina ni Lesa uyo ukute kushina buyumi bwa muntu, kayi ukute ngofu shakumuwalani mumulilo utapu, mumutinenga Lesa.” (Geenna g1067)
6 Are not five sparrows sold for two assaria? And one of them is not forgotten before God,
Sena Tutite tusanu ntebakute kulishiwa ne tumali tung'ana twa mangwe? Lino kuliya nambi umo Lesa ngwakute kulubapo.
7 but even the hairs of your head have all been numbered; therefore do not fear, you are of more value than many sparrows.
Nomba mishishi yenu ili mumutwi mwenu yonse waibelenga. Neco mutatinanga pakwinga amwe mwadula kupita baciba bangi.
8 And I say to you, everyone who may confess in Me before men, the Son of Man will also confess in him before the messengers of God,
“Ndamwambilinga cakubinga, muntu uliyense lansumininga pamenso abantu, nenjame nde Mwana Muntu ninkamusumine pamenso a bangelo ba Lesa.
9 and he who has denied Me before men, will be denied before the messengers of God,
Nsombi Muntu uliyense lankananga pamenso a bantu, nenjame nde Mwana Muntu ninkamukane pamenso a bangelo ba Lesa.”
10 and everyone who will say a word to the Son of Man, it will be forgiven to him, but the [one] having slandered to the Holy Spirit will not be forgiven.
“Muntu uliyense weshi kwamba maswi aipa pa Mwana Muntu inga ulekelelwa, nsombi muntu uliyense weshikusampula Mushimu Uswepa, nteshi akalekelelwepo.”
11 And when they bring you before the synagogues, and the rulers, and the authorities, do not be anxious how or what you may reply, or what you may say,
“Bakamwikata kwambeti bakamubeteke mung'anda yakupaililamo, kuli beshikwendelesha nambi kubaleli, mutakasukameti, nimukumbuleconi, nekukaba kuyeyeti nomba nituye twambe cani?
12 for the Holy Spirit will teach you in that hour what [you] should say.”
Pakwinga Mushimu Uswepa nakamwishibishe ncomwelela kwamba pacindico.”
13 And a certain one out of the multitude said to Him, “Teacher, say to my brother to divide with me the inheritance.”
Umbi muntu walikuba mulikoto walambila Yesu eti, “Beshikwiyisha, kamumwambila mukwetu ampeko buboni bwalashiya bata balobe.”
14 And He said to him, “Man, who set Me a judge or a divider over you?”
Nsombi Yesu wamukumbuleti, “Obe nomba niyani walampa incito yakumubeteka amwe nambi kuyabanya bintu byalamushila bameshenu balobe?”
15 And He said to them, “Observe, and beware of the covetousness, because his life is not in the abundance of one’s goods.”
Lino Yesu walapitilisha kubambila bantu, “Kamucenjelani kayi mutaba bantu basunishi buboni. Pakwinga buyumi bwa muntu nkabwela kupimwa ne buboni mbwakute.”
16 And He spoke an allegory to them, saying, “Of a certain rich man the field brought forth well;
Kayi Yesu walabambila mukoshanyo eti, “Umbi muntu mubile walikukute libala umo mwalekata byakulya bingi.
17 and he was reasoning within himself, saying, What will I do, because I have nowhere I will gather together my fruits?
Mpwalaboneco walatatika kuyeya mumoyo eti, ‘Ndiya butala bunene mwakubika byakulya byakame byonse ibi ninjinseconi’
18 And he said, This I will do, I will take down my storehouses, and I will build greater ones, and I will gather together there all my products and my good things,
Lino walambeti, ‘Nimwaye matala akame nekwibaka ambi anene kwambeti mbikemo byakulya ne buboni bwakame bumbi bonse.
19 and I will say to my soul, Soul, you have many good things laid up for many years, be resting, eat, drink, be merry.
Lino ninkambile moyo wakameti, ukute buboni bwingi bwakwana byaka bingi. Neco pumwina, kolya ne kunwa nekukondwa.’
20 And God said to him, Unthinking [one]! This night your life is required of you, and what things you prepared—to whom will they be [given]?
Nsombi Lesa walamwambileti, ‘Omuluya! Lelo lyopele mashiku nufwe. Nomba bintu byonse ibi mbyowalabamba kushikila cino cindi nibibe byabani?”
21 So [is] he who is treasuring up to himself, and is not rich toward God.”
Lino Yesu pakupwisha walambeti, “Encoti cikabe kuli abo beshikulibunjikila buboni, kakuli pamenso a Lesa baliyapo buboni.”
22 And He said to His disciples, “Because of this, to you I say, do not be anxious for your life, what you may eat; nor for the body, what you may put on;
Yesu walambila beshikwiya bakendi eti, “Pacebo ici ndamwambilingeti mutalisukama pa buyumi bwenu eti nitulye cani nambi nitufwale cani.
23 life is more than nourishment, and the body than clothing.
Pakwinga buyumi bwapita byakulya, ne mubili wapita byakufwala.
24 Consider the ravens, that they do not sow, nor reap, to which there is no barn nor storehouse, and God nourishes them; how much better are you than the birds?
Kamubonani bikwangala, nkabishanga, nkabitebulu biliya ng'anda yakusungilamo bintu nambi manga. Nsombi Lesa ukute kubisanina. Sena nkamwinshi kwambeti Lesa umusuni kupita bikeni?
25 And who of you, being anxious, is able to add to his age one cubit?
Niyani palyamwe welakunungilako busuba bumo kubuyumi bwakendi?
26 If, then, you are not able for the least—why are you anxious for the rest?
Nomba na nkamwela kucikonsha kwinsa kantu kang'ana eti ako, nipacebo cini mulasukamanga pa bintu bimbi ibyo?
27 Consider the lilies, how do they grow? They do not labor, nor do they spin, and I say to you, not even Solomon in all his glory was clothed as one of these;
Kamubonani maluba ncakute kukula. Nkakute kusebensa nambi kutunga byakufwala, nsombi ndamwambilingeti nambi Mwami Solomoni mububile bwakendi bonse, liya kubapo ne byakufwala byaina byalaboneka eti limo pa malubayo.
28 and if the herbage in the field, that today is, and tomorrow is cast into an oven, God so clothes, how much more you of little faith?
Lino na ni Lesa ukute kufwalika mwila uyo ukute kwinsa lelo mpouli, lilo bauwala pa mulilo, nomba amwe, nkela kumufwalika? Amwe bantu balushomo lung'ana!”
29 And you—do not seek what you may eat, or what you may drink, and do not be in suspense,
“Weco mutasukamanga nambi kuyeyeti nimulye cani nambi kunwa.
30 for the nations of the world seek after all these things, and your Father has known that you have need of these things;
Ibi bintu, bantu bakunsa bakute kubiyandaula, nsombi Bameshenu bacinshi kwambeti byonse mubisuni.
31 but seek the Kingdom of God, and all these things will be added to you.
Neco kamuyandaulani Bwami bwa Lesa, nakamupeni bintu byonse ibyo.”
32 Do not fear, little flock, because your Father delighted to give you the kingdom;
“Amwe kalikoto kang'ana kambelele shakame, mutatina pakwinga Bameshenu balayanda kumupa Bwami.
33 sell your goods, and give alms, make to yourselves bags that do not become old, a treasure unfailing in the heavens, where thief does not come near, nor moth destroy;
Kamulishani buboni mbomukute, mali mupe bapenga. Kamulilangwela mpotomona shitabolo kayi mubike buboni bwenu kwilu nkweti bukabule kubola, pakwinga kuliya kabwalala wela kushikako, ne muswa nkawela kubononga.
34 for where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.
Pakwinga myoyo yenu ikutekuba kuli bubile bwenu.”
35 Let your loins be girded, and the lamps burning,
“Kamubani balibambila cindi conse kayi malampi enu abenga abangila lyonse.
36 and you [be] like to men waiting for their lord when he will return out of the wedding feasts, that he having come and knocked, immediately they may open to him.
Kamubani eti basebenshi balapembelenga mwami wabo lafumunga kubwinga kwambeti mpoti ashikile ne kukonkosha, nabo bamucalwile bwangu.
37 Blessed those servants, whom the lord, having come, will find watching; truly I say to you that he will gird himself, and will cause them to recline, and having come near, will minister to them;
Bakute colwe basebenshi beshi bakacanike kabalanga ne menso mwami wabo akabwela. Ndamwambilinga cakubingeti mwami wabo nakafwale byakufwala bya ncito nekubekalika nekubapa byakulya.
38 and if he may come in the second watch, and in the third watch he may come, and may find [it] so, blessed are those servants.
Bakute colwe basebenshi mwami mboti akacane balibambila, nambi akese pakati pamashiku nambi kumaca.
39 And know this, that if the master of the house had known what hour the thief comes, he would have watched, and would not have permitted his house to be broken through;
Nsombi kamwanukangeti, mwine ng'anda abangawenshiba cindi kabwalala ncalesanga, inga nkela kuleka kabwalala kwingila mung'anda yakendi.
40 and you, then, become ready, because at the hour you do not think, the Son of Man comes.”
Nenjamwe copeleco, kamubani mwalibambila kumutambula Mwana Muntu pakwinga lakesanga pacindi ncomwabula kwingashila.”
41 And Peter said to Him, “Lord, do You speak this allegory to us, or also to all?”
Neye Petulo walepusheti, “Mwami, sena mukoshanyo uyu mulambilinga afwe twenka nambi bantu bonse?”
42 And the LORD said, “Who, then, is the faithful and prudent steward whom the lord will set over his household, to give in season the wheat measure?
Mwami Yesu walakumbuleti, nomba niyani musebenshi ukute lushomo kayi ne mano? Uyo mwami ngoshi akape incito yakulangilila bonse ba mu ng'anda yakendi nekupa banendi byakulya pacindi celela?
43 Blessed that servant, whom his lord, having come, will find doing so;
Nakatambule cilambo musebenshi uyo mwami wakendi pakubwelela ngweti akacane nkensa ico.
44 truly I say to you that he will set him over all his goods.
Ndamwambilinga cakubingeti mwami wakendi nakamupe incito yakubona bintu byonse mbyakute.
45 And if that servant may say in his heart, My lord delays to come, and may begin to beat the menservants and the maidservants, to eat also, and to drink, and to be drunken,
Lino na musebeshi uyo lamba mumoyo wakendi eti, mwami wakame lacelwa kwisa, lino utatika kuma basebenshi banendi batuloba ne batukashi kayi ne kutatika kulya, kunwa ne kukolwa.
46 the lord of that servant will come in a day in which he does not look for [him], and in an hour that he does not know, and will cut him off, and he will appoint his portion with the unfaithful.
Mwami wa musebeshi uyo lakesanga pabusuba mbwateshi kayi nepa cindi ncabula kwingashila. Nakamupe cisubulo ciyosha ne kumuwala uko nkoti kukabenga bantu babula lushomo.
47 And that servant, who having known his lord’s will, and having not prepared, nor having gone according to his will, will be beaten with many stripes,
Musebenshi uyo wishi mwami wakendi ncasuni, nomba liya kulibambila nambi kwinsa ncasuni mwami wakendi nakamukwipe cangofu.
48 and he who, not having known, and having done things worthy of stripes, will be beaten with few; and to everyone to whom much was given, much will be required from him; and to whom they committed much, more abundantly they will ask of him.
Nomba musebenshi utacinshi ncasuni mwami wakendi, na lepishi mwakubula kwinshiba nakomwe pang'ana. Muntu uliyense walapewa bingi welela kubwesha bingi. Muntu walapewa bingi kwambeti asunge, nakambilwe kubwesha bingi pelu pa ibyo mbyalapewa.
49 I came to cast fire to the earth, and what I wish [is] if it were already kindled!
“Ndalesa kuwala mulilo mucishi capanshi, nendakondwa kwambeti mulilo newabangila kendi!
50 But I have an immersion to be immersed with, and how I am pressed until it may be accomplished!
Nomba ndelela kwingila mulubatisho lwamapensho anene, neco moyo wakame nkawekalikana kushikila mapensho ayo akenshike.
51 Do you think that I came to give peace in the earth? No, I say to you, but rather division;
Sena mulayeyengeti ndalaleta lumuno mucishi ca panshi? Cakubinga ndiyawa, nsombi ndalaleta kupansana.
52 for there will be from now on five in one house divided—three against two, and two against three;
Kufuma lelo mumukowa umo nimukabe bantu basanu bapatana, batatu nibakapatane nebabili. Naboyo babili nibakabukilane ne batatu
53 a father will be divided against a son, and a son against a 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.”
Baishi nibakabukile mwana mutuloba, neye mwana mutuloba nakabukile baishi, banyina nibakabukile mwana mutukashi, neye mwana mutukashi nakabukile banyina. Kumakwendi batukashi nibakabukile mulekashi, neye mulekashi nakabukile kumakwendi batukashi.”
54 And He also said to the multitudes, “When you may see the cloud rising from the west, immediately you say, A shower comes, and it is so;
Yesu walambila bantu bonseti, “Na mulabono likumbi kalifumina kumboshi, mukute kwambeti, imfula niloke lelo, nicakubinga ikute kuloka.
55 and when a south wind is blowing, you say that there will be heat, and it is;
Na impepo itatika kupupula kufumina kumusansa mukute kwambeti lelo nikupye cepa, kayi kukute kuba copeleco.
56 hypocrites! You have known to discern the face of the earth and of the sky, but how do you not discern this time?
Amwe bantu batenshi mbyomulambanga, mukute kwinshiba kuboneka kwa cishi capanshi ne kwilu, nomba nicani nkamukute kwinshiba bupandulushi bwa bintu bilenshikinga masuba ano?”
57 And why, also, of yourselves, do you not judge what is righteous?
“Nomba nipacebo cini nkamukute kwinsa byalulama mobene?
58 For as you are going away with your opponent to the ruler, in the way give diligence to be released from him, lest he may drag you to the judge, and the judge may deliver you to the officer, and the officer may cast you into prison;
Na mulenga kunkuta ne munobe wa mulandu, wela kufwambana kunyumfwana nendi kamucili panshila, kwambeti katakutwala kuli weshi kubeteka. Pakwinga neye weshikubeteka inga ukutwala kumushilikali, neye mushilikali inga ukusunga mujele.
59 I say to you, you may not come forth from there until even the last mite you may give back.”
Ndakwambilinga cakubingeti nteshi ukafumemo kushikila ukalipile byonse bilayandikinga.”
