< Luke 12 >
1 In the mean time, when the multitude was gathered together in myriads, so that they trod one upon another, he began to say to his disciples first, Beware of the leaven of the Pharisees, which is hypocrisy.
Kwa wakati wo maelfu ganambone gabandu balikusangika pamoja kiasi cha tumbwa libatana atumbwi bayana banafunzi bake muhidhali na chachu ya mafarisayo ambayo nga unafiki.
2 But there is nothing covered, that will not be revealed; and hid, that will not be known.
Na pabali na siri yai iyilwe ambayo ya umukulilwalii wala jambo laliiyilwe ambalo latangani kwali.
3 Therefore, whatever ye have said in darkness, will be heard in the light; and what ye have spoken in the ear in closets, will be proclaimed upon the house-tops.
Na lyolyoi laumbayit palibindu layanika pabwega. Na gogota gamubajite munachikilo nkati ya yumba yinu ya nkati yamuyigile gatangazwa panani ya nyumba.
4 And I say to you my friends, Fear not those who kill the body, and after this can do nothing more.
Nenda kuabakia mabwiga lyangu kana mwayoghope balu bababulagayiga na mtupu kile chingi chabakipanga.
5 But I will warn you whom to fear; fear him who after he hath killed hath power to cast into hell; yea, I say to you, fear him. (Geenna )
Lakini ni palakuabula ywakunyogopa. mungogope yulu ambaye baada ya bulaga aina ngupu ya kukutailya jehanamu elo nendakuabakia mwenga munyogopenywo. (Geenna )
6 Are not five sparrows sold for two pennies? and not one of them is forgotten before God.
Je shomoro batano bapimiali shilingi ibele? hata ivyo mtupu hata yamo ywabapala kumbalya mbele ya Nnongu.
7 But even the hairs of your head are all numbered. Fear not: ye are of more value than many sparrows.
Lakini mtange kuwa nywili ya mumitwee yinu itibalangwilwa kana muyogope. mwenga muina thamani ngulu kuliko shomoro baingi.
8 And I say to you, Every one that acknowledgeth me before men, him will the Son of man also acknowledge before the angels of God.
Ninda kuabakia, ywaniyikitiya nenga nninge ya bandu, mwana wa Adamu anyiyikitya nnonge ya malaika na Nnongo.
9 But he that hath denied me before men, shall be denied before the angels of God.
Lakini ywoywoti ywanikana nnonge ya bandu ni ywembe akanikiya nnongi ya malaika ba Nnongo.
10 And every one that shall speak a word against the Son of man, it will be forgiven him; but to him that hath blasphemed against the Holy Spirit, it will not be forgiven.
Ywoywoti nywabaya lineno kunani ya mwana wa Adamu, asamehelwa, lakini ywoywoti ywa mkufuru Roho mpeletau, asamehelwa kwaa,
11 And when they bring you to the synagogues and the magistrates and the authorities, be not anxious as to how or what ye shall answer, or what ye shall say;
Bapampeleka nnongi ya wakolo ba masinagogi, atawala, ni bene mamlka, kana muyogope husu namna ya longela katika kuitetea au kile cha baya,
12 for the Holy Spirit will teach you in that very hour what ye ought to say.
Kwa kuwa Roho Mpeletau ampundisha namani mwampala baya kwa wakati woo,”
13 And one from the multitude said to him, Teacher, bid my brother divide the inheritance with me.
Mundu yumo katika likusanyiko ammakiye, mwalimu, umakiye nnunangu ampei sehemu ya urithi wango,”
14 But he said to him, Man, who made me a judge or a divider over you?
Yesu an'yangwi, ni nyai ywa nibikite panga namwamuzi ni wanipatanisha kati yinu?
15 And he said to them, Take heed and beware of all covetousness; for even when one hath great abundance, his life doth not depend upon his possessions.
Nga aabakiya, muiadhari ni kila namna ya tamaa, kwa sababu ukto wa mundu ubile kwaa katika wingwa ilibe yabile nayo.”
16 And he spoke a parable to them, saying, The ground of a certain rich man brought forth plentifully.
Yesu aabakiye mfano, kabaya, nng'unda wa mundu yumo tajiri yatipambika muno.
17 And he thought within himself, saying, What shall I do? for I have not where to store my crops.
ni atikuilokiya nkati yake, kabaya, mbange namani kwani ntopo mahali pabika yakya yango?
18 And he said, This will I do; I will pull down my barns, and build greater; and there will I store all my crops and my goods;
Ngabaya mbapanga nyaa, mbatekwana magolo gango machunu ni chenga balibile likolo ni kuibika yakulya yango yoti ni ile yenge.
19 and I will say to my soul, Soul, thou hast many goods laid up for many years; take thine ease, eat, drink, be merry.
Naibakiya nafsi yango, “Nafsi, uibekii akii ya ile yanambone kwa miaka yanambone upumuli, ulye, unywee ni ustalee.”
20 But God said to him, Fool! this night will thy soul he required of thee; and whose will those things be which thou hast laid up?
Lakini Nongo ammakiye, wenga mundu mpumbavu, kiloo cha lino tupala mwoyo buka kwako, ni ilee yoti yaniandaite yapanga ya nyai?
21 So is he that layeth up treasure for himself, and is not rich towards God.
Nga yapanga kwa kila mundu ywa ibekya mali ni kuitayalisha kwaajili ya Ngwana.
22 And he said to his disciples, Therefore I say to you, Be not anxious for the life, what ye shall eat; nor for the body, what ye shall put on.
Yesu aabakiye benepuzi bake, kwa nyo nenda kuwabakiya kana muyogope husu maisha yinu ya kwale mwa lyaa namani au husu yega yinu mwa wala namani.
23 The life is more than its food, and the body than its raiment.
kwa kuwa maisha nga muno kuliko chakulya, ni yega muno kuliko ngobo.
24 Consider the ravens, that they neither sow nor reap; which have neither store-house, nor barn; and God feedeth them. Of how much greater value are ye than the birds!
Muilinge iyuni ya angani, balima kwaa wala bauna kwaa. Ntopo chumba wa lighulo lya bikya, lakini Tati bitu anda kuwaleleya mwenga bora kwaa kuliko iyuni!
25 And who of you can by anxious thought add a cubit to his life?
Ywako nkati yinu ambaye ywaisumbua awesa yongeya dhiraa imo katika maisha gake?
26 If then ye cannot do even that which is least, why are ye anxious about the rest?
Mana basi mngwecha kwaa panga hacho kichunu chakibile rahisi kwa namani kuisumbwa hago genge?
27 Consider the lilies, that they neither spin nor weave; and yet I say to you, Not even Solomon in all his glory was arrayed like one of these.
Mugalinge maluba mwagakula. Gapanga kwaa kazi wala gapota kwaa. Lakini nenda kuwabakia hata Suleimani katika utukufu bake boti ban'gwalike kwaa kati yimo yapo haga.
28 But if God so clothes the herbage in the field, which is to-day, and tomorrow is cast into an oven, how much more will he clothe you, O ye of little faith!
Mana Nnongo ugawalika vizuri maakapi ga mmendi, ambago leno gabile, ni malau ugataikwa pa mwoto. Buli mwenga muno kwaa aweza kun'gwalika? mwenga imani njunu!
29 And seek not ye what ye shall eat, and what ye shall drink; and be not of a doubtful mind.
Kana msumbukii husu mwa lyaa namani au mwa nywa namani wala kana m'be ni hofu.
30 For all these things do the nations of the world seek after; and your Father knoweth that ye have need of these things.
Kwa kuwa mataifa goti ga kilambo basumbukiya mambo gabe. Ni Tati binu atangite kuwa mpala ago.
31 But rather seek his kingdom, and these things will also be given you.
Lakini muupale ufalme wake kwanza, ni ago genge anyongekeya.
32 Fear not, little flock! for it is your Father's good pleasure to give you the kingdom.
Kana muyogope mwenge mwa likundi lichini kwasababu Tati binu apulaikya kwapea ufalme.
33 Sell what ye have, and give alms. Make for yourselves purses which wax not old, treasure in the heavens that faileth not, where no thief approacheth, nor moth destroyeth.
Mupimeye mali yinu mukaapeiimaskini, muhipangii mifuko yangali yomoka hazina ya kunani yanga yomoka, sehemu ambayo baii bakalibia kwaa wala nondo aweza kwaa alibu.
34 For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.
Kwa kuwa paibile hazina yako, nga mwoyo wako paupabaa.
35 Let your loins be girded about, and your lamps burning;
Ngobo yinu ndachi ibe itabilwe kwa nkanda, ni taa yinu muhakikishe kuwa kaiyendelya yakaa.
36 and be yourselves like men waiting for the return of their lord from the wedding; that when he cometh and knocketh, they may open to him immediately.
ni m'be kati bandu babannolekea Ngwana wabe buka kusheree ya ndoa, linga mana aichile ni kumbwa ulibawecha kunyughulya nniyango kwa haraka.
37 Happy are those servants, whom their lord when he cometh shall find watching; truly do I say to you, that he will gird himself, and place them at table, and will come and wait on them.
Batibarikiwa balu atumishi ambao Ngwana aakolya bai minyo. Hakika atabaa ngobo yake ndacho kwa nkanda alafuatawika pae kwa chakulya, ni kubahudumia.
38 And if in the second, or if in the third watch, he cometh and findeth them thus, happy are they.
Kati Ngwana aaicha kwa zamu yeneibele ya lindela lya kilo, au hata zamu yene itatu ya lindela, ni kunkolya wabiile tayari, yabaa heri kwa abo atumishi.
39 And be sure of this, that if the master of the house had known at what hour the thief was coming, he would not have suffered his house to be broken through.
zaidi ya ago mutange linga, kati ngwana mwene nyumba akatangage saa ambayo mwii andaicha, apeilekali nyumba yake tekwana.
40 Be ye also ready; for at an hour when ye think not the Son of man cometh.
Mube tayari kai kwani mutangite kwaa ni wakati gani mwana wa Adamu abuyangana.
41 And Peter said to him, Lord, dost thou speak this parable to us, or also to all?
Petro abayite, “Ngwana, utubakia twenga mfano yii, au umakiya kila mundu?
42 And the Lord said, Who then is the faithful, the wise steward, whom his lord will place over his household, to give the portion of food in due season?
Ngwana amm'bakiye, nyai mwanda mwaminifu au mwene hekima ambaye ngwana wake amika panani ya abanda benge lenga abagane chakulya chabe kwa wakati wapalikwa?
43 Happy is that servant whom his lord, when he cometh, shall find so doing.
Atibarikiwa mmanda yolo ambaye bwana wake mana aichile ukolya kapanga galo ganagile.
44 I say to you in truth, that he will place him in charge of all his substance.
Hakika nindakuwabakiya mwenga ya kuwa ami'ka manani ya mali yake yoti.
45 But if that servant say in his heart, My lord is long in coming; and begin to beat the men-servants and maid-servants, and to eat and drink and be drunken,
Lakini mmanda yolo mana abayite pa mwoyo wake,'bwana wango achia buya, nga nyoo ngatumbwa kuangumbwa abanda alalume ni alwawa alafu atumbwa lyaa, nywaa ni lobya.
46 the lord of that servant will come in a day when he looketh not for him, and at an hour when he is not aware, and will cut him asunder, and appoint him his portion with the unfaithful.
Bwana wake yolo mmanda aicha katika lichuba yanga kwaa kuitegemea ni lisaa langa kwaa kulitanga, ywembe ankata ipande ipande ni kummeka katika sehemu imo ni banga kwaa aaminifu.'
47 And that servant who knew his lord's will, and did not make ready, nor do according to his will, will be beaten with many stripes;
Mmanda ywa yowa mapenzi ga bwana wake, aindaite kwaa wala apangite sawa sawa ni penda kwake, akumbulwa iboko iingi.
48 but he that knew not and did things worthy of stripes, will be beaten with few. And from every one to whom much hath been given, will much be required; and to whom much hath been entrusted, of him will the more be demanded.
Lakini mmanda ywa tangite kwaa mwapendi bwana wake, lakini apangite gagapalikwa adhabu, angumbulwa iboko njunu. kwa kuwa ywembe ywa peilwe yanambone, apalongelwa buka kwake ni ywembe ywaaminilwe kwa yanambone, kwake alongelwa yanambone muno.
49 I came to cast fire upon the earth; and what do I wish, if it hath been already kindled?
Niichile koya mwoto mukilambo ni nenda tamaniya ibe inda yaka,
50 But I have a baptism to be baptized with; and how is my soul troubled, till it be accomplished!
Lakini nina ubatizo ambao mbabatizwa, ni nina kyoto mpaka paukamilika.
51 Think ye that I came to give peace in the earth? I tell you, nay, but rather division.
Buli mufikilia kuwa niichi leta amani mukilambo? Nyoli, ninda kuwabakiya, badala yake niletite mutalanganike.
52 For from this time forth five in one house will be divided, three against two, and two against three.
Tangu nambeambe ni yendelya paba, ni bandu batano. Katika nyumba yimo babaganike, ni atatu kinyume ni abele abele bapanga kinyume ni atatu.
53 They will be divided, father against son, and son against father; mother against daughter, and daughter against mother; the mother-in-law against her daughter-in-law, and the daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law.
Babaganika, tati apanga kinyume ni mwana wake, ni mwana ni mwana apanga kinyume ni tate bake, Mao apanga kinyume ni mwana wake, ni mwana apanga kinyume ni mabake, mwile apanga kinyume ni mkwano, ni mkwano apanga kinyume ni mabake.
54 And he said also to the multitudes, When ye see a cloud rising in the west, ye say at once, A shower is coming; and it is so;
Yesu ende kuabakia makutano kae, pa mona maunde kugapita kundondi, mwaya wakati wa ula wandaicha, ni nga chai bile.
55 and when ye perceive the south wind blowing, ye say, It will be hot; and it cometh to pass.
Ni mchunga wa kusimana uvumilite mmaya paba ni lyoto likali, ni nga chai baa.
56 Hypocrites! ye know how to judge of the face of the earth and the sky; but how is it that ye know not how to judge of this time
Mwenga mwa lau, muweza tafsiri mmoneka wa kilambo ni kunani, lakini iba buli nngwecha kwaa tafsiri wakati waubile?
57 And why even of yourselves do ye not judge what is right?
Ni kwa namani kila yumo kana alipambanue lali la kweli kwake kulipanga wakati pa bi ni nafsi ya panga nyo?
58 When thou art going with thine adversary at law to the magistrate, take pains, while on the way, to be released by him; lest he drag thee to the judge, and the judge deliver thee to the officer, and the officer cast thee into prison.
Maana mana uyihi ni ywakushitakiya nnongi ya hakimu, uitahidi patana na ywa kushitakya mungali balo mundela kana akupeleke kwa hakimu, ni hakimu akupeleki kwa afisa akutaikwa muligereza.
59 I tell thee, Thou wilt not come out thence, till thou hast paid the very last mite.
Ninda kuwabakiya wapita mwo adi ulepite mpaka lusenti lwa mwisho.
