Luke 12
1 Meanwhile the people had come streaming towards Him by tens of thousands, so that they were trampling one another under foot. And now He proceeded to say to His disciples first, "Beware of the yeast of the Pharisees, that is to say, beware of hypocrisy.
E kindeno, kane oganda mar ji mangʼeny maromo alufe ne osechokore, makoro ginyonore giwegi, Yesu nochako wuoyo mokwongo, ni jopuonjrene kowacho niya, “Beduru motangʼ ne thowi mar jo-Farisai, ma en wuondruok.
2 There is nothing that is covered up which will not be uncovered, nor hidden which will not become known.
Onge gimoro mopandi ma ok nofweny, kata malingʼ-lingʼ ma ok nongʼere.
3 Whatever therefore you have said in the dark, will be heard in the light; and what you have whispered within closed doors will be proclaimed from the house-tops.
Gima usewacho e mudho biro winjore e odiechiengʼ e lela, kendo gima usekwodho e itu ei ot maiye nolandi ewi tat ot.
4 "But to you who are my friends I say, "'Be not afraid of those who kill the body and after that can do nothing further.
“Awachonu osiepena, kik uluor jogo manego ringruok to bangʼe onge gima ginyalo medo timo.
5 I will warn you whom to fear: fear him who after killing has power to throw into Gehenna: yes, I say to you, fear him. (Geenna g1067)
To abiro nyisou jalno monego uluor: Luoruru jalno ma, bangʼ nego ringruok, to en gi teko mar witou e ataro mar mach. Ee, awachonu, luoreuru. (Geenna g1067)
6 Are not five sparrows sold for a penny? and yet not one of them is a thing forgotten in God's sight.
Oyundi abich donge ingʼiewo otonglo ariyo kende? To kata kamano kata achiel kuomgi wi Nyasaye ok wilgo.
7 But the very hairs on your heads are all counted. Away with fear: you are more precious than a multitude of sparrows.'
Chutho, kata mana yie wiu duto osekwan mongʼe kar rombgi. Kik uluor, nikech uloyo oyundi nyadi mangʼeny.
8 "And I tell you that every man who shall have acknowledged me before men, the Son of Man will also acknowledge before the angels of God.
“Awachonu, ngʼato angʼata mohulo ni ongʼeya e nyim ji, Wuod Dhano biro hulo ni angʼeye e nyim malaike mag Nyasaye.
9 But he who disowns me before men will be disowned before the angels of God.
To ngʼato angʼata mokweda e nyim ji en bende nokwede e nyim malaike mag Nyasaye.
10 "Moreover every one who shall speak against the Son of Man, may obtain forgiveness; but he who blasphemes the Holy Spirit will never obtain forgiveness.
Kendo ngʼato angʼata mowacho wach moro marach kuom Wuod Dhano nowene, to ngʼato angʼata ma yanyo Roho Maler ok nowene richone.
11 And when they are bringing you before synagogues and magistrates and governors, do not anxiously ponder the manner or matter of your defence, nor what you are to say;
“Kokelu e sinagogi, e nyim jodongo gi jotelo, to kik uparru kaka dudwok weche ma odonjnugo, kata gima duwachi,
12 for the Holy Spirit shall teach you at that very moment what you must say."
nikech Roho Maler biro puonjou e sano gima onego uwachi.”
13 Just then a man in the crowd appealed to Him. "Rabbi," he said, "tell my brother to give me a share of the inheritance."
Ngʼat moro mane ni ei oganda nowachone niya, “Japuonj nyis owadwa mondo opogna mwanduna.”
14 "Man," He replied, "who has constituted me a judge or arbitrator over you?"
Yesu nodwoko niya, “Omera en ngʼa moketa jangʼad bura kata jathek e kindu?”
15 And to the people He said, "Take care, be on your guard against all covetousness, for no one's life consists in the superabundance of his possessions."
Eka nowachonegi niya, “Ritreuru! Beduru motangʼ ne kit wuoro duto; ngima mar dhano ok bedi nikech mwandu mathoth ma en-go.”
16 And He spoke a parable to them. "A certain rich man's lands," He said, "yielded abundant crops,
Kendo nogoyonegi ngero moro ni: “Puoth ngʼat moro ma jamoko nochiek maber.
17 and he debated within himself, saying, "'What am I to do? for I have no place in which to store my crops.'
Noparo e chunye ni, ‘Angʼo monego atim? Aonge kama dakanie chamba.’
18 "And he said to himself, "'This is what I will do: I will pull down my barns and build larger ones, and in them I will store up all my harvest and my wealth;
“Eka nowacho ni, ‘Ma e gima abiro timo. Abiro muko dechena kendo gero moko madongo, kendo abiro kano chamba duto gi gigena kanyo.
19 and I will say to my life, "'Life, you have ample possessions laid up for many years to come: take your ease, eat, drink, enjoy yourself.'
Eka anawach gie chunya niya, “Chunya in-gi gik mangʼeny mabeyo misekano moromi kuom higni mangʼeny. Koro ywe, chiem, methi kendo bed mamor.”’
20 "But God said to him, "'Foolish man, this night your life is demanded from you; and these preparations--for whom shall they be?'
“To Nyasaye nowachone ni, ‘In ngʼat mofuwoni! Kawuono gotienoni wangʼ nokaw ngimani. En ngʼa mabiro kawo mago miseloso ne in iwuon?’
21 "So is it with him who amasses treasure for himself, but has no riches in God."
“Mano e kaka nobed gi ngʼato angʼata mokano gik moko ne en owuon to ok omew e yor Nyasaye.”
22 Then turning to His disciples He said, "For this reason I say to you, 'Dismiss all anxious care for your lives, inquiring what you are to eat, and for your bodies, what you are to put on.'
Eka Yesu nowachone jopuonjrene niya, “Emomiyo awachonu ni kik uparru kuom ngimau, kata kuom gik ma ubiro chamo, kata kuom dendu, kata gik ma ubiro rwako.
23 For life is a greater gift than food, and the body is a greater gift than clothing.
Ngima duongʼ moloyo chiemo, kendo del duongʼ moloyo lewni.
24 Observe the ravens. They neither sow nor reap, and have neither store-chamber nor barn. And yet God feeds them. How far more precious are you than the birds!
Paruruane winy ma ok chwo cham to bende ok gikee, gionge gi kuonde keno kata dere; to Nyasaye pod pidhogi apidha. To un donge uber moloyo winy.
25 And which of you is able by anxious thought to add a moment to his life?
En ngʼa kuomu ma parruok moparorego nyalo miyo omed bedo mangima kata mana kuom sa achiel kende?
26 If then you are unable to do even a very little thing, why be over-anxious about other matters?
To kaka ok unyal timo mani matin-ni, angʼo momiyo uparoru kuom gik mamoko?
27 Observe the lilies, how they grow. They neither labour nor spin. And yet I tell you that not even Solomon in all his splendour was as beautifully dressed as one of these.
“Paruruane kaka ondanyo dongo. Ok ginyagre gi tich kata gi chwecho. To kata kamano awachonu ni kata mana Solomon e rwakruokne malich duto ne ok orwakore ka achiel kuomgi.
28 But if God so clothes the vegetation in the fields, that blooms to-day and to-morrow will be thrown into the oven, how much more certainly will He clothe you, you men of feeble faith!
Ka kamano e kaka Nyasaye rwako lum aluma manie pap, ma kawuono nitie to kiny iwite e mach, to koro un dorwaku, machal nade, yaye un joma yiegi tin-gi?
29 "Therefore, do not be asking what you are to eat nor what you are to drink; and do not waver between hope and fear.
Kendo kik uket chunyu kuom gima dicham kata madi madhi, kik uparru kuom mago.
30 For though the nations of the world pursue these things, as for you, your Father knows that you need them.
Nimar jopiny ema chandore ka dwaro gigi duto, to bende Wuonu ongʼeyo ni udwaro gigi duto.
31 But make His Kingdom the object of your pursuit, and these things shall be given you in addition.
To dwaruru pinyruoth Nyasaye, eka gigi duto bende nomiu kaachiel gi mago.
32 "Dismiss your fears, little flock: your Father finds a pleasure in giving you the Kingdom.
“Kik uluor un kweth matin, nikech Wuonu mor mar miyou pinyruoth.
33 Sell your possessions and give alms. Provide yourselves with purses that will never wear out, a treasure inexhaustible in Heaven, where no thief can come nor moth consume.
Lok gigi iyudgo pesa mondo imi joma odhier. Dwaruru ofuke magu mikane pesa ma ok yiechi ma en mwandu manie polo ma ok rum kuma jakuo ok chopie kata olwenda ok kethi.
34 For where your wealth is stored, there also will your heart be.
Nimar kama mwanduni nitie e kama chunyi bende nobedie.
35 "Have your girdles on, and let your lamps be alight;
“Rwakreuru ka uikoru ne tich kendo techeu osik kaliel,
36 and be yourselves like men waiting for their master--on the look-out till he shall return from the wedding feast--that, when he comes and knocks, they may open the door instantly.
ka joma rito ruodhgi maduogo koa e nyasi mar arus, mondo kobiro kendo oduongʼo to giyawone dhoot piyo.
37 Blessed are those servants, whom their Master when He comes shall find on the watch. I tell you in solemn truth, that He will tie an apron round Him, and will bid them recline at table while He comes and waits on them.
Nobed maber ni jotich ma ruodhgi noyud karito e kinde modwogo. Awachonu adiera ni norwakre gi lawe mondo omigi chiemo, nomi gibed e mesa mi nobi mopognegi chiemo.
38 And whether it be in the second watch or in the third that He comes and finds them so, blessed are they.
Nobed maber ne jotije ma ruodhgi noyud ka oikore kata ka obiro e arita mar ariyo kata mar adek gotieno.
39 Of this be sure, that if the master of the house had known what time the robber was coming, he would have kept awake and not have allowed his house to be broken into.
To ngʼeuru ma maber ni ka dine wuon ot ngʼe ni kar sa adi ma jakuo biroe to dine ok oweyo ode otur gi jakuo.
40 Be you also ready, for at an hour when you are not expecting Him the Son of Man will come."
Omiyo kamano e kaka un bende onego ubed moikore, nikech Wuod Dhano biro biro sa ma ok ungʼeyo.”
41 "Master," said Peter, "are you addressing this parable to us, or to all alike?"
Petro nopenje niya, “Ruoth iwacho ngeroni ni wan koso ni ji duto?”
42 "Who, then," replied the Lord, "is the faithful and intelligent steward whom his Master will put in charge of His household to serve out their rations at the proper times?
To Ruoth nodwoko niya, “Kare jatich ma ja-adiera kendo ma jatelo mariek en ngʼa, ma ruodhe omiyo tich mar rito jotije ka miyogi chiembgi e sa mowinjore?
43 Blessed is that servant whom his Master when He comes shall find so doing.
Jatijno none ber ka ruodhe odwogo to noyude kotimo gima noweye notim.
44 I tell you truly that He will put him in authority over all His possessions.
Awachonu adier ni obiro kete jarit mwandune duto.
45 But if that servant should say in his heart, 'My Master is a long time in coming,' and should begin to beat the menservants and the maids, and to eat and drink, drinking even to excess;
To kapo ni jatijno owacho e chunye owuon ni, ‘Ruodha, okawo ndalo mathoth kapok odwogo,’ mi ochako goyo jotich machwo gi mon kendo owere ne chiemo gi metho, kod mer.
46 that servant's Master will come on a day when he is not expecting Him and at an hour that he knows not of, and will punish him severely, and make him share the lot of the unfaithful.
Ruodh jatijno nobi e odiechiengʼ ma ok opar ni dobie kendo e sa ma ok ongʼeyo, enongʼade matindo tindo mi okete kaachiel gi joma ok oyie.
47 And that servant who has been told his Master's will and yet made no preparation and did not obey His will, will receive many lashes.
“Jatijno mongʼeyo dwaro mar ruodhe to ok otem timo gima ruodhe dwaro nochwad mangʼeny.
48 But he who had not been told it and yet did what deserved the scourge, will receive but few lashes. To whomsoever much has been given, from him much will be required; and to whom much has been entrusted, of him a larger amount will be demanded.
To mano ma ok ongʼeyo to otimo gik mowinjore gi kum, to nochwad manok. Ngʼato ka ngʼato ma osemi mangʼeny nodwar kuome gik mangʼeny, to jal ma osemi mangʼeny mondo oriti, enopenje mangʼeny moloyo.
49 "I came to throw fire upon the earth, and what is my desire? Oh that it were even now kindled!
“Asebiro mondo amok mach e piny, to mano kaka agombo ni mad ne bed ni osemoke!
50 But I have a baptism to undergo; and how am I pent up till it is accomplished!
Nitie batiso monego ayudi. To mano kaka chunya chandore nyaka chop otimre!
51 Do you suppose that I came to give peace on earth? No, I tell you that I came to bring dissension.
Uparo ni ne abiro mondo akel kwe e piny? Ooyo, to awachonu ni ne akelo mana pogruok.
52 For from this time there will be in one house five persons split into parties. Three will form a party against two and two will form a party against three;
Chakre kawuono kadhi nyime ji abich ma joot achiel biro pogore, ji adek odok kon achiel to ji ariyo bende nodog komachielo.
53 father against son and son against father; mother attacking daughter and daughter her mother, mother-in-law her daughter-in-law, and daughter-in-law her mother-in-law."
Gibiro pogore, wuoro nopogre gi wuode kendo wuowi bende nopogre gi wuon, miyo nopogre gi nyare to nyako bende nopogre gi min, dayo nopogre gi chi wuode, chi wuowi bende nopogre gi damare.”
54 Then He said to the people also, "When you see a cloud rising in the west, you immediately say, 'There is to be a shower;' and it comes to pass.
Nowacho ni oganda niya, “Kuneno ka boche polo chokore yo podho chiengʼ to piyo piyo uwacho ni, ‘Koth biro chue,’ to timore kamano!
55 And when you see a south wind blowing, you say, 'It will be burning hot;' and it comes to pass.
Kendo ka yamb milambo kudho to uwacho ni oro biro to kamano e kaka timore.
56 Vain pretenders! You know how to read the aspect of earth and sky. How is it you cannot read this present time?
Andhokegi! Ka ulony kuom rango chal mar piny gi polo to angʼo momiyo ok unyal ngʼeyo gik matimore ndalogi?
57 "Why, too, do you not of yourselves arrive at just conclusions?
“Angʼo mamonou ngʼado bura mar gima kare?
58 For when, with your opponent, you are going before the magistrate, on the way take pains to get out of his power; for fear that, if he should drag you before the judge, the judge may hand you over to the officer of the court, and the officer lodge you in prison.
Ka idhi gi ngʼama odonjoni e nyim jangʼad bura, tem matek mondo iwuo kode kendo uwinjru kapod un e yo, nono to obiro ywayi koteri ir jangʼad bura, to jangʼad bura biro keti e lwet askari, to askari biro boli e od twech.
59 Never, I tell you, will you get free till you have paid the last farthing."
Awachoni ni ok niwuog oko nyaka ichul faini duto monego ichul ma ok orem kata ndururu.”
