Luke 12
1 While they were doing that, many thousands of people gathered [around Jesus]. There were so many that they were stepping on each other. Then Jesus said to his disciples, “Beware of [becoming] hypocrites [like] the Pharisees. Their [evil influence] [MET] [spreads to others like] yeast [spreads its influence in dough].
Ana nan sa’ad da taron dubban mutane suka taru har suna tattaka juna, Yesu fara yin magana, da farko da almajiransa ya ce, “Ku yi hankali da yistin Farisiyawa, wato, munafunci.
2 People will not be able to continue concealing the things that [they or other] people try to conceal now. [God] will [some day] cause the things that are hidden now to be known {[everyone] to know the things that they hide now}.
Ba abin da yake rufe da ba za a fallasa ba, ko kuma abin da yake ɓoye da ba za a bayyana ba.
3 All the things that you say in the dark [secretly, some day] will be heard {people will hear them} in the daylight. The things you have whispered [SYN] privately among yourselves in your rooms will be proclaimed {[people] will proclaim them} publicly.”
Abin da kuka faɗa a cikin duhu, za a ji shi a hasken rana. Kuma abin da kuka faɗa a kunne, a cikin ɗakunan ciki-ciki, za a yi shelarsa daga kan rufin ɗakuna.
4 “My friends, listen [carefully]. Do not be afraid of people who [are able to] kill you, but after they kill you, there is nothing more that they can do [to hurt you].
“Ina dai gaya muku abokaina, kada ku ji tsoron masu kashe jiki, amma bayan haka, ba sauran abin da za su iya yi.
5 But I will warn you about the one that you should truly be afraid of. You should be afraid of [God], because he not only has [the power to] cause people to die, he has the power to throw them into hell afterward! Yes, he is truly the one that you should be afraid of! (Geenna g1067)
Amma zan nuna muku wanda za ku ji tsoronsa. Ku ji tsoron wanda, bayan da ya kashe jikin, yana da iko ya jefa ku cikin jahannama ta wuta. I, ina gaya muku, ku ji tsoronsa. (Geenna g1067)
6 [Think about] the sparrows. [They are worth so little] that [you] can [RHQ] buy five of them for only two small coins. But not one of them is ever forgotten by God {God never forgets one of them}!
Ba ana sayar da kanari biyar a kan kobo biyu ba? Duk da haka, Allah bai manta da ko ɗayansu ba.
7 You are worth more [to God] than many sparrows. So do not be afraid [of what people can do to you! God] even knows how many hairs there are on each of your heads, [so that if you(sg) lose one hair, he knows about it. So nothing bad can happen to you without his knowing it].
Tabbatacce, gashin kanku ɗin nan ma, an ƙidaya su duka. Kada ku ji tsoro. Darajarku ta fi na kanari masu yawa girma.
8 I want to tell you also that if people, [without being afraid, are willing to] tell others [that they are my disciples], [I], the one who came from heaven, will acknowledge before [God that they are my disciples]. [I will do that while] God’s angels listen.
“Ina gaya muku, duk wanda ya shaida ni a gaban mutane, Ɗan Mutum ma zai shaida shi a gaban mala’ikun Allah.
9 But if people [are] afraid to say in front of others that they are [my disciples], [I] will say, while God’s angels listen, that they are not [my disciples].
Amma wanda ya yi mūsun sanina a gaban mutane, shi ma za a yi mūsunsa a gaban mala’ikun Allah.
10 [I will tell you] also that [God is willing to] forgive people who say bad things about me, the one who came from heaven, but [he] will not forgive anyone who says evil things about what the Holy Spirit [does].
Kuma duk wanda ya faɗi kalmar zagi a kan Ɗan Mutum, za a gafarta masa, amma duk wanda ya saɓa wa Ruhu Mai Tsarki, ba za a gafarta masa ba.
11 [So] when people ask you in Jewish worship houses and in the presence of rulers and other authorities [about your trusting in me], do not worry about how you will answer them [when they accuse you]. Do not worry about what you should say,
“Sa’ad da an kai ku a gaban majami’u, da gaban masu mulki, da kuma gaban masu iko, kada ku damu da yadda za ku kāre kanku, ko kuma abin da za ku faɗa,
12 because the Holy Spirit will tell you at that very time what you should say.”
gama Ruhu Mai Tsarki zai koya muku abin da ya dace ku faɗa a lokacin.”
13 Then one of the people in the crowd said to [Jesus], “Teacher, tell my [older] brother to divide my father’s property and give me [the part that belongs] to me!”
Sai wani mutum daga cikin taron ya ce masa, “Malam, ka ce wa ɗan’uwana ya raba gādon da ni.”
14 But Jesus replied to him, “Man, (no one appointed me in order that I would settle [matters when people are] disputing about property!/did anyone appoint me in order that I would settle [matters when people are] disputing about property?) [RHQ]”
Yesu ya amsa masa ya ce, “Kai, wa ya naɗa ni alƙali, ko mai sulhu a tsakaninku?”
15 Then he said to the whole crowd, “Guard yourselves very carefully, in order that you do not desire other people’s things in any way! No one can make his life secure by [obtaining] many possessions.”
Sai ya ce musu, “Ku lura fa! Ku tsare kanku daga dukan kowane irin kwaɗayi. Ran mutum ba ya danganta a kan yawan dukiyarsa ba.”
16 Then Jesus told the people this illustration: “There was a certain rich man whose crops grew very well.
Sai ya gaya musu wannan misali ya ce, “Gonar wani mai arziki ta ba da amfani sosai.
17 [So] he said [to himself], ‘I do not know what to do, because I do not have any place [big enough] to store all my crops!’
Ya yi tunani a ransa ya ce, ‘Ba ni da inda zan ajiye amfanin gonana. Me zan yi ke nan?’
18 Then he thought to himself, ‘[I know] what I will do! I will tear down my grain bins and build larger ones! Then I will store all my wheat and other goods in [the big new bins].
“Sai ya ce, ‘Ga abin da zan yi. Zan rushe rumbunana, in gina manya, in zuba dukan hatsina da kayana a ciki.
19 [Then] I will say to myself [SYN], “Now I have plenty of goods stored up. [They will last] for many years. [So now] I will take life easy. I will eat and drink [all that I want to] and be happy [for a long time]!”’
Ni kuma zan ce wa raina, “Kana da kaya da yawa masu kyau, da aka yi ajiyarsu domin shekaru da dama masu zuwa. Yi hutunka, ka ci, ka sha, ka yi annashuwa.”’
20 But God said to him, ‘You foolish [man]! Tonight you will die! (Then all [the goods] you have saved up [for yourself] will [belong to someone else, not to] you!/Do you think that you [will benefit from] all that you have stored up for yourself?) [RHQ]’”
“Amma Allah ya ce masa, ‘Kai wawa! A wannan dare za a nemi ranka. Bayan haka, wa zai gāji abin da ka tara wa kanka?’
21 [Then Jesus ended this illustration by saying], “That is what will happen to those who store up goods just for themselves, but who do not value the things [that] God [considers] valuable.”
“Haka zai zama ga duk wanda ya tara wa kansa dukiya, amma ba shi da arziki a gaban Allah.”
22 Then [Jesus] said to his disciples, “So I want to tell you this: Do not worry about [things you need] in order to live. Do not worry about [whether you will have enough food] to eat or [enough clothes] to wear.
Sai Yesu ya ce wa almajiransa, “Saboda haka, ina faɗa muku, kada ku damu game da rayuwarku, abin da za ku ci, ko kuma game da jikinku, abin da za ku yafa.
23 It is important to have sufficient food and clothing, but (the way you conduct your lives is more important./is not the way you conduct your lives more important?) [RHQ]
Rai ya fi abinci, jiki kuma ya fi tufafi.
24 Think about the birds: They do not plant [seeds], and they do not harvest [crops]. They do not have rooms or buildings in which to store crops. But God provides food for them. [And] you are certainly much more valuable than birds. [So God will certainly provide what you need]!
Ku dubi hankaki. Ba sa shuki ko girbi, kuma ba su da ɗakin ajiya ko rumbu ba, duk da haka, duk da haka, Allah na ciyar da su. Darajarku ta fi na tsuntsaye sau da yawa!
25 (There is not a one of you who can add a little bit to how long he lives by worrying about it!/Is there any of you who can add a little bit to how long he lives by worrying about it?) [RHQ]
Wane ne a cikinku ta wurin damuwarsa, zai iya ƙara ko sa’a ɗaya ga rayuwarsa?
26 Worrying is a small thing to do. So since you cannot add to your life, (you certainly should not worry about other things that [you need to have in order to live!]/why do you worry about other things that [you need to have in order to live]?) [RHQ]
Tun da ba za ku iya yin wannan ƙanƙanin abu ba, me ya sa kuke damuwa a kan sauran?
27 Think about the way that flowers grow [in the fields]. They do not work [to earn money], and they do not make their own clothes. But I tell you that [even though King] Solomon, [who lived long ago, wore very beautiful clothes], his clothes were not as beautiful as one of those [flowers].
“Ku dubi yadda furanni suke girma. Ba sukan yi aiki, ko saƙa ba, duk da haka, ina faɗa muku cewa, ko Solomon cikin kyakkyawan darajarsa duka, bai yafa kayan ado da ya kai kamar na ko ɗaya a cikinsu ba.
28 God makes the flowers beautiful, but they grow in the fields for only a short time. Then [they are cut at the same time that the grass] is cut, and thrown into an oven [to be burned to make heat for baking] bread. [So they really are not worth very much. But you are very precious to] God, [and he] will [care for you] much more [than he cares for the grass by filling it with beautiful flowers]. So he will certainly provide clothes for you, who [live much longer than the grass. Why] [RHQ] [do you] trust him so little?
In haka ne Allah yake yi wa ciyayin jeji sutura, wadda yau suna nan, sa’an nan gobe kuma a jefa cikin wuta, Allah ba zai yi muku sutura fiye da ciyayin jeji ba, ya ku masu ƙarancin bangaskiya!
29 Do not always be concerned about having enough to eat and drink, and do not be worrying about those things.
Kada ku sa zuciyarku a kan abin da za ku ci, ko abin da za ku sha, kada ku damu a kan su.
30 The people who do not know God are always worried about such things. But your Father [in heaven] knows that you need those things, [so you should not worry about them].
Gama duniya da ba tă san Allah ba, tana faman neman dukan waɗannan abubuwa, Ubanku na sama kuwa, ya san kuna bukatarsu.
31 Instead, be concerned about letting [God] completely direct [your life]. Then [he] will also give you enough of the things [you need].
Amma ku nemi mulkinsa, za a kuwa ƙara muku waɗannan abubuwa.
32 [You who are my disciples are like a] small flock of sheep, [and I am like your shepherd]. So you should not be afraid. Your Father [in heaven] wants to let you rule with him [in heaven].
“Ya ƙaramin garke, kada ku ji tsoro, gama ya gamshi Ubanku ya ba ku mulkin.
33 [So now] sell the things that you own. Give [the money that you get for those things] to poor people. [If you do that, it will be as though] you are providing for yourselves purses that will not wear out, and [God will give] you a treasure in heaven that will always be safe. There, no thief can come near [to steal it], and no termite can destroy it.
Ku sayar da dukiyarku, ku ba wa matalauta. Ku yi wa kanku jakar kuɗin da ba za su lalace ba. Ku yi wa kanku ajiyar dukiyar da ba za tă kare ba a sama, inda ɓarawo ba zai yi kusa ba, asu kuma ba za su iya su lalatar ba.
34 Remember that [the things] that you [think are the most] valuable are [the things] that you will be constantly concerned about.”
Gama inda dukiyarku take, nan ne zuciyarku ma take.
35 “Be always ready [for doing God’s work] [MET], like [people] who have put on their work clothes and are ready [during the day], with their lamps burning all night.
“Ku shirya ɗamara don hidima. Ku bar fitilunku suna ci,
36 Be [ready for me to return] [MET], like servants who are waiting for their master to return after being at a wedding feast [for several days]. They are [waiting to] open the door for him and [start working for him again] as soon as he arrives and knocks at the door.
kamar maza da suke jiran maigidansu ya dawo daga bikin aure. Saboda duk lokacin da ya dawo ya ƙwanƙwasa ƙofa, a shirye suke su buɗe masa nan da nan.
37 If those servants are awake when he returns, [he will] be very pleased with them. I will tell you this: He will put on [the kind of clothes] that servants wear and tell them to sit down, and he will serve them a meal.
Zai zama da albarka in maigida ya dawo, ya tarar da bayinsa suna zaman tsaro. Gaskiya ni faɗa muku, zai sa kayan hidima da kansa, ya sa bayinsa su zauna kan tebur, sa’an nan ya yi musu hidimar abinci.
38 [Even] if he comes between midnight and sunrise, if he finds that his servants are [awake and] ready [for him], he will be very pleased with them.
Zai zama da albarka ga bayin da maigidansu ya iske su, suna zaman tsaro, a duk lokacin da ya dawo, ko da ya dawo a sa’a ta biyu, ko ta uku na tsakar dare ne.
39 But you must also remember this: If owners of a house knew what time a thief was coming, they [would stay awake and] would not allow their house to be broken into [and their goods to be stolen] {[the thief] to break into the house [and steal their goods]}.
Amma ku fahimci wannan. Da maigida ya san sa’ar da ɓarawo zai zo, ai, da ba zai bari a shiga, a fasa masa gida ba.
40 Similarly, you must be ready [for me to return], because [I], the one who came from heaven, will come [again] at a time when you do not expect [me to come].”
Ku ma, sai ku zauna da shiri, domin Ɗan Mutum zai zo a sa’ar da ba ku yi tsammani ba.”
41 Peter said, “Lord, are you [(sg)] speaking this illustration [only] for us or for everyone [else also]?”
Bitrus ya yi tambaya ya ce, “Ya Ubangiji, mu ne kake faɗa wa wannan misali, ko kuwa ga kowa da kowa ne?”
42 The Lord replied, “[I am saying it for you and for anyone else] [MET, RHQ] who is like a faithful and wise manager in his master’s house. His master appoints him to [supervise affairs in his house] and to give all the [other] servants their food at the proper time. [Then he leaves on a long trip].
Ubangiji ya amsa ya ce, “To, wane ne manaja mai aminci da hikima, wanda maigida ya ba shi riƙon bayinsa, domin ya ba su abincinsu a daidai lokaci?
43 If the servant is doing that work when his master returns, [his master] will be very pleased with him.
Zai zama da albarka ga bawan nan wanda maigidan ya dawo, ya same shi yana yin haka.
44 I tell you this: His master will appoint him to supervise all of his affairs [permanently].
Gaskiya nake gaya muku, maigidan zai ba shi riƙon dukan dukiyarsa.
45 But that servant might think to himself, ‘My master [has been away] for a long time, [so he probably will] not return soon [and find out what I am doing].’ [Then he might] start to beat the [other] servants, both male and female ones. [He might also start] to eat [a lot of food] and get drunk.
Amma da a ce bawan ya yi tunani a zuciyarsa ya ce, ‘Ai, maigidana ya yi jinkirin dawowa,’ sa’an nan ya fara dūkan bayin, maza da mata, ya kuma shiga ci, da sha, har da buguwa.
46 [If he does that, and if] his master returns on a day when the servant does not expect him, then his master will (cut him into two pieces/punish him severely) [HYP] and put him [in the place where he puts all] those who do not [serve him] faithfully.
Maigidan bawan nan zai dawo a ranar da wannan bawan bai yi tsammaninsa ba, kuma a sa’ar da bai sani ba. Maigidan zai yayyanka shi, ya kuma ba shi rabonsa tare da marasa bangaskiya.
47 Every servant who knows what his master wants him to do but who does not get himself ready and does not do what his master desires will be beaten severely {[The master] will beat severely every servant who knows what his master wants him to do but who does not get himself ready and does not do what his master desires}.
“Bawan da ya san nufin maigidansa, kuma bai yi shiri ba, ko kuma bai yi abin da maigidansa yake so ba, zai sha mummunan duka.
48 But every [servant] who did not know [what his master wanted] him to do, and who did things for which he deserved to be punished, will be beaten lightly {[the master] will beat lightly every [servant] who did not know [what his master wanted] him to do and did the things for which he deserved that [his master] would beat him}. [God will treat his people similarly, because he] expects a lot from those people whom [he] has allowed [to understand a lot]. People who entrust things [to others’ care] expect those people [to care for those things] very well. Similarly, [God] expects a lot from those people whom he has allowed [to understand a lot]. Furthermore, he expects the most from people to whom he has given the most [ability].”

49 “I came to earth to cause [there to be trials] [MET], [which will purify you as] fire [purifies metal] (OR, to cause judgment/divisions among you). I wish that the time when [you] will be purified {when [God] will purify you} (OR, when divisions will be caused {to cause divisions among people}) had already begun.
“Na zo ne domin in kawo wuta a duniya. Ina so da ta riga ta ƙunu!
50 I must soon suffer [IDM] greatly. I am distressed, and I will continue to be distressed until my suffering is finished.
Amma ina da baftismar da za a yi mini, na kuwa damu sosai, sai na kammala ta!
51 Do you think that as a result of my coming to earth people will live together peacefully? No! I must tell you, [that is not what will happen! Instead, people] will be divided.
Kuna tsammani na zo domin in kawo salama a duniya ne? A’a! Ina gaya muku, rabuwa ne.
52 Because some people in one house [will believe in me and some will not], they will be divided. [For example], three people in one house [who do not believe in me] will oppose two [who do believe], or two [who do not believe in me] will oppose three [who do believe].
Daga yanzu, za a iske mutum biyar a gida ɗaya sun rabu, suna gāba da juna, uku suna gāba da biyu, biyun suna gāba da ukun.
53 A man will oppose his son, or a son will oppose his father. A woman will oppose her daughter, or a woman will oppose her mother. A woman will oppose her daughter-in-law, or a woman will oppose her mother-in-law.”
Za su rarrabu. Mahaifi yana gāba da ɗan, ɗan kuma yana gāba da mahaifin. Mahaifiya tana gāba da diyar, diyar kuma tana gāba da mahaifiyar. Suruka tana gāba da matar ɗa, matar ɗa kuma tana gāba da suruka.”
54 He [also] said to the crowds, “[In this country], when you see a [dark] cloud forming in the west, you immediately say ‘It is going to rain!’ and that is what happens.
Ya ce wa taron, “Sa’ad da kuka ga hadari ya fito daga yamma, nan da nan kukan ce, ‘Za a yi ruwan sama,’ sai a kuwa yi.
55 [In this region], when the wind blows from the south, you say, ‘It is going to be a very hot day!’ and that is what happens.
Sa’ad da kuma iska ta taso daga kudu, kukan ce, ‘Za a yi zafi,’ sai kuwa a yi.
56 You hypocrites! By observing the clouds and the wind, you are able to discern what is happening regarding [the weather]. It is disgusting that you are not able to discern [what God is doing] at this present time [RHQ]!
Munafukai! Kuna san yadda za ku fassara yanayin ƙasa da na sararin sama. Ta yaya ba ku san yadda za ku yi fassarar wannan zamani ba?
57 (Each of you ought to determine now what is the right thing for you to do, [while you still have time to do that]!/Why cannot each of you determine what is the right [thing for you to do now while you still have time to do that]?) [RHQ]
“Don me ba ku iya auna wa kanku, abin da yake daidai ba?
58 [If you do not do that, God will punish you] [MET]. [It will be like what happens when] someone takes one of you to court, saying that you [(sg)] have done something very bad. You should try to settle things with him while you are still on the way to the court. If he forces you to go to the judge, the judge will decide that you are guilty and put you into the hands of the court officer. Then that officer will put you in prison.
Yayinda kake kan hanyar zuwa kotu da maƙiyinka, ka yi matuƙar ƙoƙari ku shirya tun kuna kan hanya. In ba haka ba, zai kai ka gaban alƙali, alƙali kuma ya miƙa ka ga ɗan sanda, ɗan sanda kuma ya jefa ka a kurkuku.
59 I tell you that if you go to prison, you will never get out, [because you will never be able to] pay every bit [of what the judge says you owe] [MET]. [Similarly, you ought to settle accounts with God before you die, too].”
Ina gaya maka, ba za ka fita ba, sai ka biya kobo na ƙarshe.”
