Luke 12
1 At which time the myriads of the multitude having been gathered together, so as to tread upon one another, he began to say unto his disciples, first, 'Take heed to yourselves of the leaven of the Pharisees, which is hypocrisy;
Nthawi yomweyo, anthu miyandamiyanda atasonkhana, ndi kumapondanapondana, Yesu anayamba kuyankhula poyamba kwa ophunzira ake, nati, “Chenjereni ndi yisiti wa Afarisi, amene ndi chinyengo.
2 and there is nothing covered, that shall not be revealed; and hid, that shall not be known;
Palibe chinthu chophimbika chimene sichidzawululika, kapena chobisika chimene sichidzadziwika.
3 because whatever in the darkness ye said, in the light shall be heard: and what to the ear ye spake in the inner-chambers, shall be proclaimed upon the house-tops.
Chimene mwanena mu mdima chidzamveka dzuwa likuwala, ndipo zimene mwanongʼona mʼkhutu mʼchipinda chamʼkati, zidzayankhulidwa pa denga la nyumba.
4 'And I say to you, my friends, be not afraid of those killing the body, and after these things are not having anything over to do;
“Ine ndikuwuzani, abwenzi anga, musachite mantha ndi amene amapha thupi chifukwa akatero sangachitenso kanthu.
5 but I will show to you, whom ye may fear; Fear him who, after the killing, is having authority to cast to the gehenna; yes, I say to you, Fear ye Him. (Geenna g1067)
Koma Ine ndidzakuonetsani amene muyenera kumuopa: Wopani Iye, amene pambuyo pakupha thupi, ali ndi mphamvu yakukuponyani ku gehena. Inde, Ine ndikuwuzani, muopeni Iye. (Geenna g1067)
6 'Are not five sparrows sold for two assars? and one of them is not forgotten before God,
Kodi atimba asanu samagulidwa ndi ndalama ziwiri? Ngakhale zili chomwecho palibe imodzi ya izo imene imayiwalika ndi Mulungu.
7 but even the hairs of your head have been all numbered; therefore fear ye not, than many sparrows ye are of more value.
Ndithudi, tsitsi lonse la mʼmutu mwanu ndi lowerengedwa. Musachite mantha; inu ndi oposa kwambiri mpheta zambiri.
8 'And I say to you, Every one — whoever may confess with me before men, the Son of Man also shall confess with him before the messengers of God,
“Ine ndikukuwuza kuti, aliyense amene avomereza Ine pamaso pa anthu, Mwana wa Munthu adzamuvomerezanso pamaso pa angelo a Mulungu.
9 and he who hath denied me before men, shall be denied before the messengers of God,
Koma iye amene andikana Ine pamaso pa anthu adzakanidwanso pamaso pa angelo a Mulungu.
10 and every one whoever shall say a word to the Son of Man, it shall be forgiven to him, but to him who to the Holy Spirit did speak evil, it shall not be forgiven.
Ndipo aliyense amene ayankhulira Mwana wa Munthu mawu oyipa adzakhululukidwa, koma iye wochitira mwano Mzimu Woyera sadzakhululukidwa.
11 'And when they bring you before the synagogues, and the rulers, and the authorities, be not anxious how or what ye may reply, or what ye may say,
“Akadzakutengerani ku masunagoge pamaso pa oweruza ndi a maulamuliro, musadere nkhawa mmene mudzadzitchinjirizire nokha kapena chimene mudzayankhule,
12 for the Holy Spirit shall teach you in that hour what it behoveth [you] to say.'
pakuti Mzimu Woyera nthawi imeneyo adzakuphunzitsani zoyenera kunena.”
13 And a certain one said to him, out of the multitude, 'Teacher, say to my brother to divide with me the inheritance.'
Munthu wina mʼgulu la anthu anati kwa Iye, “Aphunzitsi, muwuzeni mʼbale wanga andigawireko chuma chamasiye.”
14 And he said to him, 'Man, who set me a judge or a divider over you?'
Yesu anayankha kuti, “Munthu iwe, ndani anandiyika Ine kukhala woweruza kapena wogawa chuma pakati panu?”
15 And he said unto them, 'Observe, and beware of the covetousness, because not in the abundance of one's goods is his life.'
Kenaka Iye anawawuza kuti, “Chenjerani! Khalani tcheru ndi makhalidwe onse adyera; moyo wa munthu sukhala chifukwa cha kuchuluka kwa zimene ali nazo.”
16 And he spake a simile unto them, saying, 'Of a certain rich man the field brought forth well;
Ndipo Iye anawawuza fanizo ili, “Munda wa munthu wina wachuma unabereka kwambiri.
17 and he was reasoning within himself, saying, What shall I do, because I have not where I shall gather together my fruits?
Iye anaganiza kuti, ‘Ndichite chiyani? Ndilibe malo osungiramo mbewu zanga.’
18 and he said, This I will do, I will take down my storehouses, and greater ones I will build, and I will gather together there all my products and my good things,
“Ndipo Iye anati, ichi ndi chimene ndidzachite: Ndidzaphwasula nkhokwe zanga zonse ndi kumanga zokulirapo, ndipo ndidzasungira mʼmenemo mbewu ndi katundu.
19 and I will say to my soul, Soul, thou hast many good things laid up for many years, be resting, eat, drink, be merry.
Ndipo ndidzawuza moyo wanga kuti, ‘Uli nazo zinthu zabwino zambiri zimene zikhalepo zaka zambiri, usapupulume; idya, imwa ndi kukondwera.’”
20 'And God said to him, Unthinking one! this night thy soul they shall require from thee, and what things thou didst prepare — to whom shall they be?
“Koma Mulungu anati kwa iye, ‘Iwe wopusa! Usiku womwe uno moyo wako udzachotsedwa kwa iwe, ndipo ndi ndani amene adzatenge zimene iwe wadzikonzera?’
21 so [is] he who is treasuring up to himself, and is not rich toward God.'
“Umu ndi mmene zidzakhalire ndi aliyense amene amadziwunjikira chuma, koma si wachuma pamaso pa Mulungu.”
22 And he said unto his disciples, 'Because of this, to you I say, Be not anxious for your life, what ye may eat; nor for the body, what ye may put on;
Kenaka Yesu anati kwa ophunzira ake, “Choncho Ine ndikuwuzani kuti musadere nkhawa za moyo wanu, zimene mudzadya; kapena za thupi lanu, zimene mudzavala.
23 the life is more than the nourishment, and the body than the clothing.
Moyo uposa chakudya, ndi thupi liposa chovala.
24 'Consider the ravens, that they sow not, nor reap, to which there is no barn nor storehouse, and God doth nourish them; how much better are ye than the fowls?
Taonani makwangwala: iwo safesa kapena kukolola, alibe nyumba zosungamo zinthu kapena nkhokwe; komabe, Mulungu amawadyetsa. Koposa kotani inu amene ndi ofunikira kuposa mbalame.
25 and who of you, being anxious, is able to add to his age one cubit?
Ndi ndani wa inu akhoza kuwonjeza ora pa moyo wake chifukwa cha kudandaula?
26 If, then, ye are not able for the least — why for the rest are ye anxious?
Popeza simungathe kuchita kanthu kakangʼono aka, nʼchifukwa chiyani mumadandaula ndi zinazi?
27 'Consider the lilies, how do they grow? they labour not, nor do they spin, and I say to you, not even Solomon in all his glory was arrayed as one of these;
“Taonani mmene maluwa amakulira. Iwo sagwira ntchito kapena kusoka zovala. Koma Ine ndikuwuzani kuti, ngakhale Solomoni muulemelero wake wonse sanavalepo ngati limodzi la awa.
28 and if the herbage in the field, that to-day is, and to-morrow into an oven is cast, God doth so clothe, how much more you — ye of little faith?
Ngati umu ndi mmene Mulungu amavekera udzu wakuthengo, umene lero ulipo ndipo mawa uponyedwa pa moto, nanga Iye adzakuvekani inu motani. Haa! Inu achikhulupiriro chochepa!
29 'And ye — seek not what ye may eat, or what ye may drink, and be not in suspense,
Ndipo musayike mtima wanu pa zimene mudzadye kapena kumwa; musade nazo nkhawa.
30 for all these things do the nations of the world seek after, and your Father hath known that ye have need of these things;
Pakuti anthu akunja amathamanga kufunafuna zinthu zotere, ndipo Atate amadziwa kuti mumazifuna zimenezi.
31 but, seek ye the reign of God, and all these things shall be added to you.
Koma funafunani ufumu wake, ndipo mudzapatsidwa zonsezi.
32 'Fear not, little flock, because your Father did delight to give you the reign;
“Musachite mantha, inu kagulu kankhosa, pakuti zinakondweretsa Atate anu kuti akupatseni ufumu.
33 sell your goods, and give alms, make to yourselves bags that become not old, a treasure unfailing in the heavens, where thief doth not come near, nor moth destroy;
Gulitsani zonse zimene muli nazo, ndipo ndalama zake mupereke kwa osauka. Dzipezereni zikwama zandalama zimene sizidzatha, ndi kudzikundikira chuma chomwe sichidzatha kumwamba, kumene mbala sizingafikeko, ndipo dzimbiri silingawononge.
34 for where your treasure is, there also your heart will be.
Popeza kumene kuli chuma chanu, mtima wanunso udzakhala komweko.”
35 'Let your loins be girded, and the lamps burning,
“Khalani okonzekeratu ndipo nyale zanu ziziyaka,
36 and ye like to men waiting for their lord, when he shall return out of the wedding feasts, that he having come and knocked, immediately they may open to him.
ngati anthu oyembekezera kubwera kwa mbuye wawo kuchokera kuphwando la ukwati, kuti pamene afika ndi kugogoda akhoza nthawi yomweyo kumutsekulira chitseko.
37 'Happy those servants, whom the lord, having come, shall find watching; verily I say to you, that he will gird himself, and will cause them to recline (at meat), and having come near, will minister to them;
Zidzakhala bwino kwa antchitowo amene mbuye wawo pobwera adzawapeze akudikira. Zoonadi, Ine ndikuwuzani kuti adzakonzekera kuwatumikira, adzakhala nawo pa tebulo ndipo adzabwera ndi kuwatumikira.
38 and if he may come in the second watch, and in the third watch he may come, and may find [it] so, happy are those servants.
Zidzakhala bwino kwa antchitowo amene mbuye wawo adzawapeze ali okonzeka, ngakhale iye atabwera pa ora lachiwiri kapena lachitatu usiku.
39 'And this know, that if the master of the house had known what hour the thief doth come, he would have watched, and would not have suffered his house to be broken through;
Koma zindikirani izi: Ngati mwini nyumba akanadziwa ora limene mbala ibwera, sakanalola kuti nyumba yake ithyoledwe.
40 and ye, then, become ye ready, because at the hour ye think not, the Son of Man doth come.'
Inunso muyenera kukhala okonzeka, chifukwa Mwana wa Munthu adzabwera pa ora limene simukumuyembekezera Iye.”
41 And Peter said to him, 'Sir, unto us this simile dost thou speak, or also unto all?'
Petro anafunsa kuti, “Kodi mukunena fanizoli kwa ife, kapena kwa aliyense?”
42 And the Lord said, 'Who, then, is the faithful and prudent steward whom the lord shall set over his household, to give in season the wheat measure?
Ambuye anayankha kuti, “Kodi tsono woyangʼanira wokhulupirika ndi wanzeru ndani? Kodi ndi amene mbuye wake wamuyika kukhala oyangʼanira antchito ake kuti aziwapatsa ndalama yachakudya pa nthawi yake yoyenera?
43 Happy that servant, whom his lord, having come, shall find doing so;
Zidzamukhalira bwino wantchito amene mbuye wake adzamupeza akuchita zimene pamene iye abwera.
44 truly I say to you, that over all his goods he will set him.
Zoonadi, Ine ndikukuwuzani kuti adzamuyika kukhala woyangʼanira katundu wake yense.
45 'And if that servant may say in his heart, My lord doth delay to come, and may begin to beat the men-servants and the maid-servants, to eat also, and to drink, and to be drunken;
Koma tiyerekeze kuti wantchitoyo aziganiza mu mtima mwake kuti, ‘Bwana wanga akuchedwa kwambiri kubwera,’ ndipo kenaka ndi kuyamba kumenya antchito aamuna ndi aakazi ndi kudya, kumwa ndi kuledzera.
46 the lord of that servant will come in a day in which he doth not look for [him], and in an hour that he doth not know, and will cut him off, and his portion with the unfaithful he will appoint.
Mbuye wake adzabwera tsiku limene iye sakumuyembekezera ndi ora limene iye sakudziwa. Iye adzamulanga ndi kumusiya kumalo kumene kuli osakhulupirira.
47 'And that servant, who having known his lord's will, and not having prepared, nor having gone according to his will, shall be beaten with many stripes,
“Wantchito amene amadziwa chifuniro cha mbuye wake koma wosakonzeka kapena wosachita chimene mbuye wake akufuna adzakwapulidwa zikwapu zambiri.
48 and he who, not having known, and having done things worthy of stripes, shall be beaten with few; and to every one to whom much was given, much shall be required from him; and to whom they did commit much, more abundantly they will ask of him.
Koma wantchito amene sadziwa koma nʼkuchita zinthu zoyenera chilango, adzakwapulidwa zikwapu zochepa. Aliyense amene anapatsidwa zambiri, adzayenera kubwezanso zambiri; ndipo amene anamusungitsa zambiri, adzamulamula kuti abweze zambirinso.”
49 'Fire I came to cast to the earth, and what will I if already it was kindled?
“Ine ndabwera kudzayatsa moto pa dziko lapansi, ndipo ndikanakonda ukanayaka kale.
50 but I have a baptism to be baptized with, and how am I pressed till it may be completed!
Koma Ine ndiyenera kubatizidwa, ndipo ndikusautsika mu mtima mpaka utachitika!
51 'Think ye that peace I came to give in the earth? no, I say to you, but rather division;
Kodi mukuganiza kuti Ine ndinabwera kudzabweretsa mtendere pa dziko lapansi? Ayi, Ine ndikukuwuzani kuti, ndinabweretsa kugawikana.
52 for there shall be henceforth five in one house divided — three against two, and two against three;
Kuyambira tsopano mpaka mʼtsogolo mʼbanja limodzi mudzakhala anthu asanu ndipo adzawukirana wina ndi mnzake, atatu kuwukira awiri, ndipo awiri kuwukira atatu.
53 a father shall be divided against a son, and a son against a father, a mother against a daughter, and a daughter against a mother, a mother-in-law against her daughter-in-law, and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law.'
Anthu adzawukirana. Abambo kudzawukira mwana wawo wamwamuna, mwana wawoyo adzawukira abambo ake. Amayi adzawukira mwana wawo wamkazi, mwana wawoyo adzawukira amayi ake. Amayi adzawukira mpongozi wawo wamkazi, mpongoziyo adzawukira amayiwo.”
54 And he said also to the multitudes, 'When ye may see the cloud rising from the west, immediately ye say, A shower doth come, and it is so;
Iye anati kwa gulu la anthu, “Pamene mukuona mtambo ukukwera kummawa, nthawi yomweyo inu mumati, ‘kugwa mvula,’ ndipo imagwadi.
55 and when — a south wind blowing, ye say, that there will be heat, and it is;
Ndipo pamene mphepo yakummwera ikuwomba, inu mumati ‘kutentha’ ndipo kumaterodi.
56 hypocrites! the face of the earth and of the heaven ye have known to make proof of, but this time — how do ye not make proof of [it]?
Achiphamaso inu! Inu mumadziwa kutanthauzira maonekedwe a dziko lapansi ndi thambo. Zikutheka bwanji kuti simukudziwa kumasulira kwa nthawi ino?
57 'And why, also, of yourselves, judge ye not what is righteous?
“Bwanji simukuzindikira nokha zoyenera kuchita?
58 for, as thou art going away with thy opponent to the ruler, in the way give diligence to be released from him, lest he may drag thee unto the judge, and the judge may deliver thee to the officer, and the officer may cast thee into prison;
Pamene mukupita kwa woweruza ndi amene munalakwirana naye, yesetsani kwambiri kuti muyanjane naye mʼnjiramo, chifukwa mukapanda kutero akhoza kukutengerani ku bwalo la milandu ndipo woweruzayo adzakuperekani kwa woyangʼanira ndende, ndipo woyangʼanira ndendeyo adzakuponyani mʼndende.
59 I say to thee, thou mayest not come forth thence till even the last mite thou mayest give back.'
Ine ndikuwuzani kuti, simudzatulukamo mpaka mutalipira ndalama zonse.”
