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.
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 But there is nothing covered up, that will not be revealed, nor hidden, that will not be known.
Kantu kalikonse kafwekewa nikakafwekulwe nambi kasolama nikakenshibikwe.
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.
Neco bilibyonse mbyomulamba mumushinshe nibikanyufwike patuba pa bonse, mbyomulabelebeshana ne muntu mucipinda nibikambwe pamenso a bantu.”
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.
“Ndamwambilinga mobanse mutatina abo beshikushina mubili, nomba kuliya nacimbi ncobela kwinsapo.
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)
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 coins? Not one of them is forgotten by God.
Sena Tutite tusanu ntebakute kulishiwa ne tumali tung'ana twa mangwe? Lino kuliya nambi umo Lesa ngwakute kulubapo.
7 But the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Therefore do not be afraid. 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 "I tell you, everyone who confesses me before people, him will the Son of Man also confess before the angels of God;
“Ndamwambilinga cakubinga, muntu uliyense lansumininga pamenso abantu, nenjame nde Mwana Muntu ninkamusumine pamenso a bangelo ba Lesa.
9 but the one who denies me in the presence of people will be denied in the presence of the angels of God.
Nsombi Muntu uliyense lankananga pamenso a bantu, nenjame nde Mwana Muntu ninkamukane pamenso a bangelo ba Lesa.”
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.
“Muntu uliyense weshi kwamba maswi aipa pa Mwana Muntu inga ulekelelwa, nsombi muntu uliyense weshikusampula Mushimu Uswepa, nteshi akalekelelwepo.”
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;
“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 same hour what you must say."
Pakwinga Mushimu Uswepa nakamwishibishe ncomwelela kwamba pacindico.”
13 And someone in the crowd said to him, "Teacher, tell my brother to divide the inheritance with me."
Umbi muntu walikuba mulikoto walambila Yesu eti, “Beshikwiyisha, kamumwambila mukwetu ampeko buboni bwalashiya bata balobe.”
14 But he said to him, "Man, who made me a judge or an arbitrator over you?"
Nsombi Yesu wamukumbuleti, “Obe nomba niyani walampa incito yakumubeteka amwe nambi kuyabanya bintu byalamushila bameshenu balobe?”
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."
Lino Yesu walapitilisha kubambila bantu, “Kamucenjelani kayi mutaba bantu basunishi buboni. Pakwinga buyumi bwa muntu nkabwela kupimwa ne buboni mbwakute.”
16 He spoke a parable to them, saying, "The ground of a certain rich man brought forth abundantly.
Kayi Yesu walabambila mukoshanyo eti, “Umbi muntu mubile walikukute libala umo mwalekata byakulya bingi.
17 He reasoned within himself, saying, 'What will I do, because I do not have room to store my crops?'
Mpwalaboneco walatatika kuyeya mumoyo eti, ‘Ndiya butala bunene mwakubika byakulya byakame byonse ibi ninjinseconi’
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.
Lino walambeti, ‘Nimwaye matala akame nekwibaka ambi anene kwambeti mbikemo byakulya ne buboni bwakame bumbi bonse.
19 I will tell my soul, "Soul, you have many goods laid up for many years. Take your ease, eat, drink, be merry."'
Lino ninkambile moyo wakameti, ukute buboni bwingi bwakwana byaka bingi. Neco pumwina, kolya ne kunwa nekukondwa.’
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?'
Nsombi Lesa walamwambileti, ‘Omuluya! Lelo lyopele mashiku nufwe. Nomba bintu byonse ibi mbyowalabamba kushikila cino cindi nibibe byabani?”
21 So is he who lays up treasure for himself, and is not rich toward God."
Lino Yesu pakupwisha walambeti, “Encoti cikabe kuli abo beshikulibunjikila buboni, kakuli pamenso a Lesa baliyapo buboni.”
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 walambila beshikwiya bakendi eti, “Pacebo ici ndamwambilingeti mutalisukama pa buyumi bwenu eti nitulye cani nambi nitufwale cani.
23 Life is more than food, and the body is more than clothing.
Pakwinga buyumi bwapita byakulya, ne mubili wapita byakufwala.
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.
Kamubonani bikwangala, nkabishanga, nkabitebulu biliya ng'anda yakusungilamo bintu nambi manga. Nsombi Lesa ukute kubisanina. Sena nkamwinshi kwambeti Lesa umusuni kupita bikeni?
25 Which of you by being anxious can add a cubit to his height?
Niyani palyamwe welakunungilako busuba bumo kubuyumi bwakendi?
26 If then you are not able to do even the least things, why are you anxious about the rest?
Nomba na nkamwela kucikonsha kwinsa kantu kang'ana eti ako, nipacebo cini mulasukamanga pa bintu bimbi ibyo?
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.
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 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?
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 Do not seek what you will eat or what you will drink; neither be anxious.
“Weco mutasukamanga nambi kuyeyeti nimulye cani nambi kunwa.
30 For the nations of the world seek after all of these things, but your Father knows that you need these things.
Ibi bintu, bantu bakunsa bakute kubiyandaula, nsombi Bameshenu bacinshi kwambeti byonse mubisuni.
31 But seek his Kingdom, and these things will be added to you.
Neco kamuyandaulani Bwami bwa Lesa, nakamupeni bintu byonse ibyo.”
32 Do not be afraid, little flock, for it is your Father's good pleasure to give you the Kingdom.
“Amwe kalikoto kang'ana kambelele shakame, mutatina pakwinga Bameshenu balayanda kumupa Bwami.
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.
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 will your heart be also.
Pakwinga myoyo yenu ikutekuba kuli bubile bwenu.”
35 "Let your waist be girded and your lamps burning.
“Kamubani balibambila cindi conse kayi malampi enu abenga abangila lyonse.
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.
Kamubani eti basebenshi balapembelenga mwami wabo lafumunga kubwinga kwambeti mpoti ashikile ne kukonkosha, nabo bamucalwile bwangu.
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.
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 comes in the second watch, or even in the third, and finds them so, blessed are they.
Bakute colwe basebenshi mwami mboti akacane balibambila, nambi akese pakati pamashiku nambi kumaca.
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.
Nsombi kamwanukangeti, mwine ng'anda abangawenshiba cindi kabwalala ncalesanga, inga nkela kuleka kabwalala kwingila mung'anda yakendi.
40 Therefore be ready also, for the Son of Man is coming in an hour that you do not expect him."
Nenjamwe copeleco, kamubani mwalibambila kumutambula Mwana Muntu pakwinga lakesanga pacindi ncomwabula kwingashila.”
41 And Peter said, "Lord, are you telling this parable to us, or to everyone?"
Neye Petulo walepusheti, “Mwami, sena mukoshanyo uyu mulambilinga afwe twenka nambi bantu bonse?”
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?
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 is that servant whom his lord will find doing so when he comes.
Nakatambule cilambo musebenshi uyo mwami wakendi pakubwelela ngweti akacane nkensa ico.
44 Truly I tell you, that he will set him over all that he has.
Ndamwambilinga cakubingeti mwami wakendi nakamupe incito yakubona bintu byonse mbyakute.
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,
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 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.
Mwami wa musebeshi uyo lakesanga pabusuba mbwateshi kayi nepa cindi ncabula kwingashila. Nakamupe cisubulo ciyosha ne kumuwala uko nkoti kukabenga bantu babula lushomo.
47 That servant, who knew his lord's will, and did not prepare, nor do what he wanted, will be beaten with many stripes,
Musebenshi uyo wishi mwami wakendi ncasuni, nomba liya kulibambila nambi kwinsa ncasuni mwami wakendi nakamukwipe cangofu.
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.
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 throw fire on the earth. I wish it were already kindled.
“Ndalesa kuwala mulilo mucishi capanshi, nendakondwa kwambeti mulilo newabangila kendi!
50 But I have a baptism to be baptized with, and how distressed I am until it is accomplished.
Nomba ndelela kwingila mulubatisho lwamapensho anene, neco moyo wakame nkawekalikana kushikila mapensho ayo akenshike.
51 Do you think that I have come to give peace in the earth? I tell you, no, but rather division.
Sena mulayeyengeti ndalaleta lumuno mucishi ca panshi? Cakubinga ndiyawa, nsombi ndalaleta kupansana.
52 For from now on, there will be 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 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."
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 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 walambila bantu bonseti, “Na mulabono likumbi kalifumina kumboshi, mukute kwambeti, imfula niloke lelo, nicakubinga ikute kuloka.
55 When a south wind blows, you say, 'There will be a scorching heat,' and it happens.
Na impepo itatika kupupula kufumina kumusansa mukute kwambeti lelo nikupye cepa, kayi kukute kuba copeleco.
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?
Amwe bantu batenshi mbyomulambanga, mukute kwinshiba kuboneka kwa cishi capanshi ne kwilu, nomba nicani nkamukute kwinshiba bupandulushi bwa bintu bilenshikinga masuba ano?”
57 Why do you not judge for yourselves what is right?
“Nomba nipacebo cini nkamukute kwinsa byalulama mobene?
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.
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 tell you, you will by no means get out of there, until you have paid the very last penny."
Ndakwambilinga cakubingeti nteshi ukafumemo kushikila ukalipile byonse bilayandikinga.”
