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.
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 There is nothing that is covered up which will not be uncovered, nor hidden which will not become known.
Na pabali na siri yai iyilwe ambayo ya umukulilwalii wala jambo laliiyilwe ambalo latangani kwali.
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.
Na lyolyoi laumbayit palibindu layanika pabwega. Na gogota gamubajite munachikilo nkati ya yumba yinu ya nkati yamuyigile gatangazwa panani ya nyumba.
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.
Nenda kuabakia mabwiga lyangu kana mwayoghope balu bababulagayiga na mtupu kile chingi chabakipanga.
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)
Lakini ni palakuabula ywakunyogopa. mungogope yulu ambaye baada ya bulaga aina ngupu ya kukutailya jehanamu elo nendakuabakia mwenga munyogopenywo. (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.
Je shomoro batano bapimiali shilingi ibele? hata ivyo mtupu hata yamo ywabapala kumbalya mbele ya Nnongu.
7 But the very hairs on your heads are all counted. Away with fear: you are more precious than a multitude of sparrows.'
Lakini mtange kuwa nywili ya mumitwee yinu itibalangwilwa kana muyogope. mwenga muina thamani ngulu kuliko shomoro baingi.
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.
Ninda kuabakia, ywaniyikitiya nenga nninge ya bandu, mwana wa Adamu anyiyikitya nnonge ya malaika na Nnongo.
9 But he who disowns me before men will be disowned before the angels of God.
Lakini ywoywoti ywanikana nnonge ya bandu ni ywembe akanikiya nnongi ya malaika ba Nnongo.
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.
Ywoywoti nywabaya lineno kunani ya mwana wa Adamu, asamehelwa, lakini ywoywoti ywa mkufuru Roho mpeletau, asamehelwa kwaa,
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;
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 shall teach you at that very moment what you must say."
Kwa kuwa Roho Mpeletau ampundisha namani mwampala baya kwa wakati woo,”
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."
Mundu yumo katika likusanyiko ammakiye, mwalimu, umakiye nnunangu ampei sehemu ya urithi wango,”
14 "Man," He replied, "who has constituted me a judge or arbitrator over you?"
Yesu an'yangwi, ni nyai ywa nibikite panga namwamuzi ni wanipatanisha kati yinu?
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."
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. "A certain rich man's lands," He said, "yielded abundant crops,
Yesu aabakiye mfano, kabaya, nng'unda wa mundu yumo tajiri yatipambika muno.
17 and he debated within himself, saying, "'What am I to do? for I have no place in which to store my crops.'
ni atikuilokiya nkati yake, kabaya, mbange namani kwani ntopo mahali pabika yakya yango?
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;
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 life, "'Life, you have ample possessions laid up for many years to come: take your ease, eat, drink, enjoy yourself.'
Naibakiya nafsi yango, “Nafsi, uibekii akii ya ile yanambone kwa miaka yanambone upumuli, ulye, unywee ni ustalee.”
20 "But God said to him, "'Foolish man, this night your life is demanded from you; and these preparations--for whom shall they be?'
Lakini Nongo ammakiye, wenga mundu mpumbavu, kiloo cha lino tupala mwoyo buka kwako, ni ilee yoti yaniandaite yapanga ya nyai?
21 "So is it with him who amasses treasure for himself, but has no riches in God."
Nga yapanga kwa kila mundu ywa ibekya mali ni kuitayalisha kwaajili ya Ngwana.
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.'
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 For life is a greater gift than food, and the body is a greater gift than clothing.
kwa kuwa maisha nga muno kuliko chakulya, ni yega muno kuliko ngobo.
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!
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 which of you is able by anxious thought to add a moment to his life?
Ywako nkati yinu ambaye ywaisumbua awesa yongeya dhiraa imo katika maisha gake?
26 If then you are unable to do even a very little thing, why be over-anxious about other matters?
Mana basi mngwecha kwaa panga hacho kichunu chakibile rahisi kwa namani kuisumbwa hago genge?
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.
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 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!
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 "Therefore, do not be asking what you are to eat nor what you are to drink; and do not waver between hope and fear.
Kana msumbukii husu mwa lyaa namani au mwa nywa namani wala kana m'be ni hofu.
30 For though the nations of the world pursue these things, as for you, your Father knows that you need them.
Kwa kuwa mataifa goti ga kilambo basumbukiya mambo gabe. Ni Tati binu atangite kuwa mpala ago.
31 But make His Kingdom the object of your pursuit, and these things shall be given you in addition.
Lakini muupale ufalme wake kwanza, ni ago genge anyongekeya.
32 "Dismiss your fears, little flock: your Father finds a pleasure in giving you the Kingdom.
Kana muyogope mwenge mwa likundi lichini kwasababu Tati binu apulaikya kwapea ufalme.
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.
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 wealth is stored, there also will your heart be.
Kwa kuwa paibile hazina yako, nga mwoyo wako paupabaa.
35 "Have your girdles on, and let your lamps be alight;
Ngobo yinu ndachi ibe itabilwe kwa nkanda, ni taa yinu muhakikishe kuwa kaiyendelya yakaa.
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.
ni m'be kati bandu babannolekea Ngwana wabe buka kusheree ya ndoa, linga mana aichile ni kumbwa ulibawecha kunyughulya nniyango kwa haraka.
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.
Batibarikiwa balu atumishi ambao Ngwana aakolya bai minyo. Hakika atabaa ngobo yake ndacho kwa nkanda alafuatawika pae kwa chakulya, ni kubahudumia.
38 And whether it be in the second watch or in the third that He comes and finds them so, blessed 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 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.
zaidi ya ago mutange linga, kati ngwana mwene nyumba akatangage saa ambayo mwii andaicha, apeilekali nyumba yake tekwana.
40 Be you also ready, for at an hour when you are not expecting Him the Son of Man will come."
Mube tayari kai kwani mutangite kwaa ni wakati gani mwana wa Adamu abuyangana.
41 "Master," said Peter, "are you addressing this parable to us, or to all alike?"
Petro abayite, “Ngwana, utubakia twenga mfano yii, au umakiya kila mundu?
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?
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 Blessed is that servant whom his Master when He comes shall find so doing.
Atibarikiwa mmanda yolo ambaye bwana wake mana aichile ukolya kapanga galo ganagile.
44 I tell you truly that He will put him in authority over all His possessions.
Hakika nindakuwabakiya mwenga ya kuwa ami'ka manani ya mali yake yoti.
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;
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 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.
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 has been told his Master's will and yet made no preparation and did not obey His will, will receive many lashes.
Mmanda ywa yowa mapenzi ga bwana wake, aindaite kwaa wala apangite sawa sawa ni penda kwake, akumbulwa iboko iingi.
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.
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 throw fire upon the earth, and what is my desire? Oh that it were even now kindled!
Niichile koya mwoto mukilambo ni nenda tamaniya ibe inda yaka,
50 But I have a baptism to undergo; and how am I pent up till it is accomplished!
Lakini nina ubatizo ambao mbabatizwa, ni nina kyoto mpaka paukamilika.
51 Do you suppose that I came to give peace on earth? No, I tell you that I came to bring dissension.
Buli mufikilia kuwa niichi leta amani mukilambo? Nyoli, ninda kuwabakiya, badala yake niletite mutalanganike.
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;
Tangu nambeambe ni yendelya paba, ni bandu batano. Katika nyumba yimo babaganike, ni atatu kinyume ni abele abele bapanga kinyume ni atatu.
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."
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 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.
Yesu ende kuabakia makutano kae, pa mona maunde kugapita kundondi, mwaya wakati wa ula wandaicha, ni nga chai bile.
55 And when you see a south wind blowing, you say, 'It will be burning hot;' and it comes to pass.
Ni mchunga wa kusimana uvumilite mmaya paba ni lyoto likali, ni nga chai baa.
56 Vain pretenders! You know how to read the aspect of earth and sky. How is it you cannot read this present time?
Mwenga mwa lau, muweza tafsiri mmoneka wa kilambo ni kunani, lakini iba buli nngwecha kwaa tafsiri wakati waubile?
57 "Why, too, do you not of yourselves arrive at just conclusions?
Ni kwa namani kila yumo kana alipambanue lali la kweli kwake kulipanga wakati pa bi ni nafsi ya panga nyo?
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.
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 Never, I tell you, will you get free till you have paid the last farthing."
Ninda kuwabakiya wapita mwo adi ulepite mpaka lusenti lwa mwisho.
