Luke 12
1 In the mean time, when the many thousands of the multitude were gathered together, insomuch that they trode one upon another, he began to say unto his disciples first of all, Beware ye of the leaven of the Pharisees, which is hypocrisy.
Ó sì ṣe, nígbà tí àìníye ìjọ ènìyàn péjọpọ̀, tó bẹ́ẹ̀ tí wọn ń tẹ ara wọn mọ́lẹ̀, ó bẹ̀rẹ̀ sísọ fún àwọn ọmọ-ẹ̀yìn rẹ̀ pé, “Ẹ máa ṣọ́ra yín nítorí ìwúkàrà àwọn Farisi tí í ṣe àgàbàgebè.
2 But there is nothing covered up, that shall not be revealed: and hid, that shall not be known.
Kò sí ohun tí a bò, tí a kì yóò sì fihàn; tàbí tí ó pamọ́, tí a kì yóò mọ̀.
3 Wherefore whatsoever ye have said in the darkness shall be heard in the light; and what ye have spoken in the ear in the inner chambers shall be proclaimed upon the housetops.
Nítorí náà ohunkóhun tí ẹ̀yin sọ ní òkùnkùn, ní gbangba ni a ó ti gbọ́ ọ; àti ohun tí ẹ̀yin bá sọ sí etí ní iyàrá, lórí òrùlé ni a ó ti kéde rẹ̀.
4 And I say unto you my friends, Be not afraid of them which kill the body, and after that have no more that they can do.
“Èmi sì wí fún yín ẹ̀yin ọ̀rẹ́ mi, ẹ má ṣe bẹ̀rù àwọn tí ó ń pa ara ènìyàn kú, lẹ́yìn èyí, wọn kò sì ní èyí tí wọ́n lè ṣe mọ́.
5 But I will warn you whom ye shall fear: Fear him, which after he hath killed hath power to cast into hell; yea, I say unto you, Fear him. (Geenna g1067)
Ṣùgbọ́n èmi ó sì sọ ẹni tí ẹ̀yin ó bẹ̀rù fún yín: Ẹ bẹ̀rù ẹni tí ó lágbára lẹ́yìn tí ó bá pànìyàn tan, láti wọ́ ni lọ sí ọ̀run àpáàdì. Lóòótọ́ ni mo wí fún yín òun ni kí ẹ bẹ̀rù. (Geenna g1067)
6 Are not five sparrows sold for two farthings? and not one of them is forgotten in the sight of God.
Ológoṣẹ́ márùn-ún sá à ni a ń tà ní owó idẹ wẹ́wẹ́ méjì? A kò sì gbàgbé ọ̀kan nínú wọn níwájú Ọlọ́run?
7 But the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Fear not: ye are of more value than many sparrows.
Ṣùgbọ́n gbogbo irun orí yín ni a kà pé ṣánṣán. Nítorí náà kí ẹ má ṣe bẹ̀rù, ẹ̀yin ní iye lórí ju ológoṣẹ́ púpọ̀ lọ.
8 And I say unto you, Every one who shall confess me before men, him shall the Son of man also confess before the angels of God:
“Mo sì wí fún yín pẹ̀lú, Ẹnikẹ́ni tí ó bá jẹ́wọ́ mi níwájú àwọn ènìyàn. Ọmọ Ènìyàn yóò sì jẹ́wọ́ rẹ̀ níwájú àwọn angẹli Ọlọ́run.
9 but he that denieth me in the presence of men shall be denied in the presence of the angels of God.
Ṣùgbọ́n ẹni tí ó bá sẹ́ mi níwájú ènìyàn, a ó sẹ́ ẹ níwájú àwọn angẹli Ọlọ́run.
10 And every one who shall speak a word against the Son of man, it shall be forgiven him: but unto him that blasphemeth against the Holy Spirit it shall not be forgiven.
Àti ẹnikẹ́ni tí ó bá sọ̀rọ̀-òdì sí Ọmọ Ènìyàn, a ó dárí rẹ̀ jì í; ṣùgbọ́n ẹnikẹ́ni tí ó bá sọ̀rọ̀-òdì sí Ẹ̀mí Mímọ́, a kì yóò dárí rẹ̀ jì í.
11 And when they bring you before the synagogues, and the rulers, and the authorities, be not anxious how or what ye shall answer, or what ye shall say:
“Nígbà tí wọ́n bá sì mú yin wá sí Sinagọgu, àti síwájú àwọn olórí, àti àwọn aláṣẹ, ẹ má ṣe ṣàníyàn pé, báwo tàbí ohun kín ni ẹ̀yin yóò fèsì rẹ̀ tàbí kín ni ẹ̀yin ó wí.
12 for the Holy Spirit shall teach you in that very hour what ye ought to say.
Nítorí Ẹ̀mí Mímọ́ yóò kọ́ yín ní wákàtí kan náà ní ohun tí ó yẹ kí ẹ sọ.”
13 And one out of the multitude said unto him, Master, bid my brother divide the inheritance with me.
Ọ̀kan nínú àwùjọ wí fún un pé, “Olùkọ́, sọ fún arákùnrin mi kí ó pín mi ní ogún.”
14 But he said unto him, Man, who made me a judge or a divider over you?
Ó sì wí fún un pé, “Ọkùnrin yìí, ta ni ó fi mí jẹ onídàájọ́ tàbí olùpíngún fún yín?”
15 And he said unto them, Take heed, and keep yourselves from all covetousness: for a man’s life consisteth not in the abundance of the things which he possesseth.
Ó sì wí fún wọn pé, “Kíyèsára kí o sì máa ṣọ́ra nítorí ojúkòkòrò: nítorí ìgbésí ayé ènìyàn kò dúró lé ọ̀pọ̀ ohun tí ó ní.”
16 And he spake a parable unto them, saying, The ground of a certain rich man brought forth plentifully:
Ó sì pa òwe kan fún wọn pé, “Ilẹ̀ ọkùnrin ọlọ́rọ̀ so ọ̀pọ̀lọpọ̀ èso.
17 and he reasoned within himself, saying, What shall I do, because I have not where to bestow my fruits?
Ó sì rò nínú ara rẹ̀ pé, ‘Èmi ó ti ṣe, nítorí tí èmi kò ní ibi tí èmi ó gbé kó èso mi jọ sí.’
18 And he said, This will I do: I will pull down my barns, and build greater; and there will I bestow all my corn and my goods.
“Ó sì wí pé, ‘Èyí ni èmi ó ṣe: èmi ó wó àká mi palẹ̀, èmi ó sì kọ́ èyí tí ó tóbi; níbẹ̀ ni èmi ó gbé to gbogbo èso àti ọrọ̀ mi jọ sí.
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.
Èmi ó sì wí fún ọkàn mi pé, ọkàn, ìwọ ní ọrọ̀ púpọ̀ tí a tò jọ fún ọ̀pọ̀ ọdún; sinmi, máa jẹ, máa mu, máa yọ̀.’
20 But God said unto him, Thou foolish one, this night is thy soul required of thee; and the things which thou hast prepared, whose shall they be?
“Ṣùgbọ́n Ọlọ́run wí fún un pé, ‘Ìwọ aṣiwèrè, lóru yìí ni a ó béèrè ọkàn rẹ lọ́wọ́ rẹ; ǹjẹ́ ti ta ni nǹkan wọ̀nyí yóò ha ṣe, tí ìwọ ti pèsè sílẹ̀?’
21 So is he that layeth up treasure for himself, and is not rich toward God.
“Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni ẹni tí ó to ìṣúra jọ fún ara rẹ̀, tí kò sì ní ọrọ̀ lọ́dọ̀ Ọlọ́run.”
22 And he said unto his disciples, Therefore I say unto you, Be not anxious for [your] life, what ye shall eat; nor yet for your body, what ye shall put on.
Jesu sì wí fún àwọn ọmọ-ẹ̀yìn rẹ̀ pé, “Nítorí náà mo wí fún yín pé, ẹ má ṣe ṣe àníyàn nítorí ẹ̀mí yín pé, kín ni ẹ̀yin yóò jẹ tàbí nípa ara yin pe kín ni ẹyin o fi bora.
23 For the life is more than the food, and the body than the raiment.
Ẹ̀mí sá à ju oúnjẹ lọ, ara sì ju aṣọ lọ.
24 Consider the ravens, that they sow not, neither reap; which have no store-chamber nor barn; and God feedeth them: of how much more value are ye than the birds!
Ẹ kíyèsi àwọn ẹyẹ ìwò: wọn kì í fúnrúgbìn, bẹ́ẹ̀ ni wọn kì í kórè: wọn kò ní àká, bẹ́ẹ̀ ni wọn kò ní abà, Ọlọ́run sá à ń bọ́ wọn: mélòó mélòó ni tí ẹ̀yin fi sàn ju ẹyẹ lọ!
25 And which of you by being anxious can add a cubit unto his stature?
Ta ni nínú yín nípa àníyàn ṣíṣe tí ó lè fi ìgbọ̀nwọ́ kan kún ọjọ́ ayé rẹ̀?
26 If then ye are not able to do even that which is least, why are ye anxious concerning the rest?
Ǹjẹ́ bí ẹ̀yin kò ti lè ṣe èyí tí ó kéré bí eléyìí, èéṣe tí ẹ̀yin fi ń ṣàníyàn nítorí ìyókù?
27 Consider the lilies, how they grow: they toil not, neither do they spin; yet I say unto you, Even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these.
“Ẹ kíyèsi àwọn lílì bí wọ́n ti ń dàgbà; wọn kì í ṣiṣẹ́, wọn kì í rànwú; ṣùgbọ́n kí èmi wí fún yín, a kò ṣe Solomoni pàápàá lọ́ṣọ̀ọ́ ní gbogbo ògo rẹ̀ tó ọ̀kan nínú ìwọ̀nyí.
28 But if God doth so clothe the grass in the field, which today is, and tomorrow is cast into the oven; how much more [shall he clothe] you, O ye of little faith?
Ǹjẹ́ bí Ọlọ́run bá wọ koríko igbó ní aṣọ tó bẹ́ẹ̀ èyí tí ó wà lónìí, tí a sì gbá a sínú iná lọ́la: mélòó mélòó ni yóò wọ̀ yín láṣọ, ẹ̀yin onígbàgbọ́ kékeré.
29 And seek not ye what ye shall eat, and what ye shall drink, neither be ye of doubtful mind.
Kí ẹ má sì ṣe lé ohun tí ẹ ó jẹ, tàbí ohun tí ẹ ó mu, kí ẹ má sì ṣe ṣe àníyàn nínú ọkàn.
30 For all these things do the nations of the world seek after: but your Father knoweth that ye have need of these things.
Nítorí gbogbo nǹkan wọ̀nyí ni àwọn orílẹ̀-èdè ayé ń wá kiri. Baba yín sì mọ̀ pé, ẹ̀yin ń fẹ́ nǹkan wọ̀nyí.
31 Howbeit seek ye his kingdom, and these things shall be added unto you.
Ṣùgbọ́n ẹ máa wá ìjọba Ọlọ́run, gbogbo nǹkan wọ̀nyí ni a ó sì fi kún un fún yín.
32 Fear not, little flock; for it is your Father’s good pleasure to give you the kingdom.
“Má bẹ̀rù, agbo kékeré, nítorí dídùn inú Baba yín ni láti fi ìjọba fún yín.
33 Sell that ye have, and give alms; make for yourselves purses which wax not old, a treasure in the heavens that faileth not, where no thief draweth near, neither moth destroyeth.
Ẹ ta ohun tí ẹ̀yin ní, kí ẹ sì tọrẹ àánú kí ẹ sì pèsè àpò fún ara yín, tí kì í gbó, ìṣúra ní ọ̀run tí kì í tán, ní ibi tí olè kò lè súnmọ́, àti ibi tí kòkòrò kì í bà á jẹ́.
34 For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.
Nítorí ní ibi tí ìṣúra yín gbé wà, níbẹ̀ ni ọkàn yín yóò gbé wà pẹ̀lú.
35 Let your loins be girded about, and your lamps burning;
“Ẹ di àmùrè yín, kí fìtílà yín sì máa jó.
36 and be ye yourselves like unto men looking for their lord, when he shall return from the marriage feast; that, when he cometh and knocketh, they may straightway open unto him.
Kí ẹ̀yin tìkára yín dàbí ẹni tí ń retí olúwa wọn, nígbà tí òun ó padà ti ibi ìgbéyàwó dé, pé nígbà tí ó bá dé, tí ó sì kànkùn, kí wọn lè ṣí i sílẹ̀ fún un lọ́gán.
37 Blessed are those servants, whom the lord when he cometh shall find watching: verily I say unto you, that he shall gird himself, and make them sit down to meat, and shall come and serve them.
Ìbùkún ni fún àwọn ọmọ ọ̀dọ̀ náà nígbà tí olúwa náà bá dé tí yóò bá wọn tí wọn ń ṣọ́nà; lóòótọ́ ni mo wí fún yín, yóò di ara rẹ̀ ní àmùrè yóò sì mú wọn jókòó láti jẹun, yóò sì jáde wá láti ṣe ìránṣẹ́ fún wọn.
38 And if he shall come in the second watch, and if in the third, and find [them] so, blessed are those [servants].

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 left his house to be broken through.
Ṣùgbọ́n ẹ mọ èyí pé, baálé ilé ìbá mọ wákàtí tí olè yóò wá, òun ìbá máa ṣọ́nà, kì bá tí jẹ́ kí a já wọ inú ilé òun.
40 Be ye also ready: for in an hour that ye think not the Son of man cometh.
Nítorí náà, kí ẹ̀yin múra pẹ̀lú, nítorí Ọmọ Ènìyàn ń bọ̀ ní wákàtí tí ẹ̀yin kò nírètí.”
41 And Peter said, Lord, speakest thou this parable unto us, or even unto all?
Peteru sì wí pé, “Olúwa, ìwọ pa òwe yìí fún wa, tàbí fún gbogbo ènìyàn?”
42 And the Lord said, Who then is the faithful and wise steward, whom his lord shall set over his household, to give them their portion of food in due season?
Olúwa sì dáhùn wí pé, “Ta ni olóòtítọ́ àti ọlọ́gbọ́n ìríjú náà, tí olúwa rẹ̀ fi jẹ olórí agbo ilé rẹ̀, láti máa fi ìwọ̀n oúnjẹ wọ́n fún wọn ní àkókò?
43 Blessed is that servant, whom his lord when he cometh shall find so doing.
Ìbùkún ni fún ọmọ ọ̀dọ̀ náà, nígbà tí olúwa rẹ̀ bá dé, tí yóò bá a kí ó máa ṣe bẹ́ẹ̀.
44 Of a truth I say unto you, that he will set him over all that he hath.
Lóòótọ́ ni mo wí fún yín yóò fi jẹ olórí ohun gbogbo tí ó ní.
45 But if that servant shall say in his heart, My lord delayeth his coming; and shall begin to beat the menservants and the maidservants, and to eat and drink, and to be drunken;

46 the lord of that servant shall come in a day when he expecteth not, and in an hour when he knoweth not, and shall cut him asunder, and appoint his portion with the unfaithful.
Olúwa ọmọ ọ̀dọ̀ náà yóò dé ní ọjọ́ tí kò retí rẹ̀, àti ní wákàtí tí kò dábàá, yóò sì jẹ ẹ́ ní yà gidigidi, yóò sì yan ipò rẹ̀ pẹ̀lú àwọn aláìgbàgbọ́.
47 And that servant, which knew his lord’s will, and made not ready, nor did according to his will, shall be beaten with many [stripes];
“Àti ọmọ ọ̀dọ̀ náà, tí ó mọ ìfẹ́ olúwa rẹ̀, tí kò sì múra sílẹ̀, tí kò sì ṣe gẹ́gẹ́ bí ìfẹ́ rẹ̀, òun ni a ó nà púpọ̀.
48 but he that knew not, and did things worthy of stripes, shall be beaten with few [stripes]. And to whomsoever much is given, of him shall much be required: and to whom they commit much, of him will they ask the more.

49 I came to cast fire upon the earth; and what will I, if it is already kindled?
“Iná ni èmi wá láti sọ sí ayé; kín ni èmi sì ń fẹ́ bí kò ṣe kí iná náà ti jo!
50 But I have a baptism to be baptized with; and how am I straitened till it be accomplished!

51 Think ye that I am come to give peace in the earth? I tell you, Nay; but rather division:

52 for there shall be from henceforth five in one house divided, three against two, and two against three.
Nítorí láti ìsinsin yìí lọ, ènìyàn márùn-ún yóò wà ní ilé kan náà tí a ó yà ní ipa, mẹ́ta sí méjì, àti méjì sí mẹ́ta.
53 They shall 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.
A ó ya baba nípa sí ọmọ rẹ̀ ọkùnrin, àti ọmọ ọkùnrin sí baba; ìyá sí ọmọbìnrin, àti ọmọbìnrin sí ìyá rẹ̀, ìyá ọkọ sí ìyàwó ọmọ, àti ìyàwó ọmọ sí ìyá ọkọ rẹ̀.”
54 And he said to the multitudes also, When ye see a cloud rising in the west, straightway ye say, There cometh a shower; and so it cometh to pass.

58 For as thou art going with thine adversary before the magistrate, on the way give diligence to be quit of him; lest haply he hale thee unto the judge, and the judge shall deliver thee to the officer, and the officer shall cast thee into prison.
