Luke 12
1 Meanwhile, when a crowd of many thousands had gathered together, so much so that they trampled on each other, he began to tell his disciples first of all, "Beware of the yeast 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, that will not be revealed, nor hidden, that will not be known.
Kila shintu shawashigubikiti hashiweri paweru na kila bada hayimaniki.
3 Therefore whatever you have said in the darkness will be heard in the light. What you have spoken in the ear in the inner chambers will be proclaimed on the housetops.
Su vyoseri vyamtakuliti muluwindu havipikaniki paluwala, ata vilii vyamulipwepwera shipindi pamtatiti milyangu havibwerwi panani pa numba.
4 "I tell you, my friends, do not be afraid of those who kill the body, and after that have no more that they can do.
“Nukugambirani waganja wangu, namuwatira woseri yawalaga nshimba kumbiti wasinda kutenda shintu shimonga nentu.
5 But I will warn you whom you should fear. Fear him, who after he has killed, has power to cast into hell. Yes, I tell 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 coins? Not one of them is forgotten by God.
“Iwera ndiri washomolu wamuhanu wawawuza kwa senti ndikandika mbili? Kumbiti Mlungu hapeni kamuwaluwi shomolu ata yumu.
7 But the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Therefore do not be afraid. You are of more value than many sparrows.
Ata vilii zya mumtuwi mwenu waziwalangiti kala. Su namtira, mwenga wa mana nentu kuliku washomolu wavuwa!
8 "I tell you, everyone who confesses me before people, him will the Son of Man also confess 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 the one who denies me in the presence of people will be denied in the presence of the angels of God.
Kumbiti woseri yawanema kulongolu kwa wantu, Mwana gwa muntu viraa hakawalemi kulongolu kwa wantumintumi wa kumpindi wa Mlungu.
10 Everyone who speaks a word against the Son of Man will be forgiven, but those who blaspheme against the Holy Spirit will not be forgiven.
“Na yoseri Yakamtakulira visoweru vidoda mwana gwa Muntu hakalekiziwi, kumbiti yoseri yakamwigilanga Rohu Mnanagala hapeni kalekeziwi.
11 When they bring you before the synagogues, the rulers, and the authorities, do not be anxious how or what you will answer, or what you will 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 will teach you in that same hour what you must say."
Toziya Rohu Mnanagala shipindi shiraa shilii hakawafundi ntambu yakutakula.”
13 And someone in the crowd said to him, "Teacher, tell 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 made me a judge or an arbitrator over you?"
Yesu kamwankula, “Ganja gwangu, gaa yakantyeka neni weri mtoza gwenu?”
15 He said to them, "Beware. Keep yourselves from all covetousness, for a man's life does not consist of the abundance of the things which he possesses."
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 He spoke a parable to them, saying, "The ground of a certain rich man brought forth abundantly.
Yesu kawagambira mfanu agu, “Kuweriti na mlunda yumu yakaweriti na lirambu lyakuwi lyalileriti viboga nentu.
17 He reasoned within himself, saying, 'What will I do, because I do not have room to store my crops?'
Kanjiti kulihola mumoyu mwakuwi pakalonga, ‘Nahera pahala pa kutula viboga vyangu vyoseri. Su hantendi hashi?’
18 He said, 'This is what I will do. I will pull down my barns, and build bigger ones, and there I will store all my grain and my goods.
Kaligambiriti mweni, ‘Hantendi hangu, hambomoli hanja zyangu zoseri na kunyawa nkulu nentu, su hantuli viboga vyangu na lunda zyangu zimonga.
19 I will tell my soul, "Soul, you have many goods laid up for many years. Take your ease, 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, 'You foolish one, tonight your soul is required of you. The things which you have prepared—whose will they be?'
Kumbiti Mlungu kamgambira, ‘mzyigizyigi gwenga! Leru pashiru rohu yaku hayitolwi. Vinu gaa hakatoli vintu vyoseri vyaguvituliti kwajili yaku gumweni?’”
21 So 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 He said to his disciples, "Therefore I tell you, do not be anxious for your life, what you will eat, nor yet for your body, what you will wear.
Yesu kawagambira wafundwa, “Nankuwagambira mleki kulihola hola makaliru genu ama nguwu zya kuvala.
23 Life is more than food, and the body is more than clothing.
Ukomu wa mana nentu kuliku shiboga na nshimba yana mana nentu kuliku nguwu.
24 Consider the ravens: they do not sow, they do not reap, they have no warehouse or barn, and God feeds them. How much more valuable are you than 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 Which of you by being anxious can add a cubit to his height?
Kwana muntu yoseri pakati penu yakaweza kwongera mweni makaliru gakuwi ata kwa saa yimu?
26 If then you are not able to do even the least things, why are you anxious about the rest?
Handa pamuweza ndiri ata kutenda shintu shididini, iwera hashi mulihola hola vintu vimonga?
27 Consider the lilies, how they grow. They do not toil, neither do they spin; yet I tell you, even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like 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 this is how God clothes the grass in the field, which today exists, and tomorrow is cast into the oven, how much more will he clothe you, O you 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 Do not seek what you will eat or what you will drink; neither be anxious.
“Su namuligaziya kwa kusaluka shintu sha kuliya ama shintu sha kulanda.
30 For the nations of the world seek after all of these things, but your Father knows that you need 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 these things will be added to you.
Kumbiti msakuli huti Ufalumi wa Mlungu na hakawapanani vintu avi.
32 Do not be afraid, little flock, for it is your Father's good pleasure to give you the kingdom.
“Mwenga shipinga shididini namtira, toziya Tati gwenu kafira kuwapanana Ufalumi.
33 Sell that which you have, and give gifts to the needy. Make for yourselves purses which do not grow old, a treasure in the heavens that does not fail, where no thief approaches, neither moth destroys.
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 will your heart be also.
Ulunda waku pawuwera, ndo na moyu gwaku haguweri.
35 "Let your waist be girded and your lamps burning.
“Muweri kala kwa kila shintu shashiza na muviwashi vikoloboyi vyenu,
36 Be like people watching for their lord, when he returns from the marriage feast; that, when he comes and knocks, they may immediately open to him.
gambira wantumintumi yawamuhepera mtuwa gwawu yakiza kulawa mumsambu gwa ndowa. Pakawera kankwiza na kutenda hodi, su hawamvugulili mlyangu kamukamu.
37 Blessed are those servants, whom the lord will find watching when he comes. Truly I tell you, that he will dress himself, and make them recline, and will come and 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 comes in the second watch, or even in the third, and finds them so, blessed are they.
Hawaweri na manemu ga ntambu gaa handa pakawawona wankali masu, ata pakiza pashiru ama pamandawira!
39 But know this, that if the master of the house had known in what hour the thief was coming, he would have watched and not have allowed his house to be broken into.
Muvimani nakaka kuwera handa mweni kana numba pakavimaniti shipindi shakwiza mpoka, hapeni kamleki mpoka kubomolanga numba yakuwi.
40 Therefore be ready also, for the Son of Man is coming in an hour that you do not expect him."
Na mwenga viraa, muweri kala, toziya Mwana gwa Muntu hakizi shipindi shamumana ndiri.”
41 And Peter said, "Lord, are you telling this parable to us, or to everyone?"
Peteru kamgambira, “Mtuwa, mfanu agu ndo kwajili ya twenga, ama kwajili ya kila muntu?”
42 The Lord said, "Who then is the faithful and wise steward, whom his lord will set over his household, to give them their portion of food at the right time?
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 servant whom his lord will find doing so when he comes.
Mbaka yakuwi ntumintumi ulii, mtuwa gwakuwi pakawuya hakamwoni pakatenda hangu.
44 Truly I tell you, that he will set him over all that he has.
Nakaka nukugambirani, mtuwa hakampanani ukulu gwa vintu vyakuwi vyoseri.
45 But if that servant says in his heart, 'My lord delays his coming,' and begins to beat the menservants and the maidservants, and to eat and drink, and to be drunk,
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 then the lord of that servant will come in a day when he is not expecting him, and in an hour that he does not know, and will cut him in two, and place his portion with the unfaithful.
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 That servant, who knew his lord's will, and did not prepare, nor do what he wanted, will be beaten with many stripes,
“Ntumintumi yakavimana shakafira mtuwa gwakuwi kutenda, kumbiti kawera ndiri kala kutenda, hawamkomi nentu.
48 but he who did not know, and did things worthy of stripes, will be beaten with few stripes. To whomever much is given, of him will much be required; and to whom much was entrusted, of him more will be asked.
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 came to throw fire on the earth. I wish it were already kindled.
“Niza kukoziya motu pasipanu, hera hangu meguweri gwakiti kala!
50 But I have a baptism to be baptized with, and how distressed I am until it is accomplished.
Nana ubatizu weni nfiruwa nuwanki na ntabika nentu mpaka ukamiliki.
51 Do you think that I have come to give peace in the earth? I tell you, no, but rather division.
Mulihola niza kujega ponga pasipanu? Ndala, kumbiti niza kupalanganyiya.
52 For from now on, there will be five in one house divided, three 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 They will be divided, father against son, and son against father; mother against daughter, and daughter against her mother; mother-in-law against her daughter-in-law, and 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 He said to the crowds also, "When you see a cloud rising from the west, immediately you 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 When a south wind blows, you say, 'There will be a scorching heat,' and it happens.
Pamuwona lihemuhemu lya kusika lyankuvuma, mlonga hakuweri na mshenji na nakaka iwera.
56 Hypocrites. You know how to interpret the appearance of the earth and the sky, but why do you not know how to interpret 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 Why do you not judge for yourselves what is right?
“Ntambu gaa msinda kuamuwa maweni kutenda shitwatira shiheri?
58 For when you are going with your adversary before the magistrate, try diligently on the way to be released from him, lest perhaps he drag you to the judge, and the judge deliver you to the officer, and the officer throw you 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 tell you, you will by no means get out of there, until you have paid the very last penny."
Nakaka nukugambira hapeni gulawi mulii mpaka gulipi ata ligwala lya kumalalira.”
