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;
Katema kakoko ŵasongangene ŵandu ŵajinji mpaka kuliŵatana, Che Yesu ŵatandite kwasalila kaje ŵakulijiganya ŵao kuti, “Nlisepusye ni chilungo cha Mafalisayo, chachili cha ulamba.
2 and there is nothing covered, that shall not be revealed; and hid, that shall not be known;
Ngachipagwa chachiunichikwe chingachiunukukwa ni chachisisikwe chingachimanyika.
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.
Lyele ligongo lyo chachili chose chimwaŵechete pa chipi, ŵandu chapikane pa lilanguka ni chimwasongonaga pa chisyepela, muchumba cheugalikwe, chichijenele muchilambo chose.
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;
“Ngunsalila ŵanyamwe achambusanga ŵangu kuti ngasimwajogopa ŵelewo ŵakuchiulaga chiilu nambo ngapagwa chakupunda chakuchikombola kuchipanganya.
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)
Nambo chinannosye ŵakusachilwa kwajogopa, mwajogope Akunnungu pakuŵa amalaga kuulaga akwete ulamusi wakumponya ku jehanamu. Eloo, mwajogope ŵelewo. (Geenna g1067)
6 'Are not five sparrows sold for two assars? and one of them is not forgotten before God,
“Ana ngati ikumanyika kuti ijojolo nsano ikusumichikwa kwa ndalama jajinandi nnope? Nambo ngapagwa chijuni chakuliŵalichikwa ni Akunnungu namuno chimo.
7 but even the hairs of your head have been all numbered; therefore fear ye not, than many sparrows ye are of more value.
Atamuno umbo sya mitwe jenu Akunnungu akusimanyilila sili silingwa. Ngasinjogopa, ŵanyamwe ndi ŵakutopela kwannope kupunda ijojolo yejinji!
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,
“Ngunsalila isyene, jwalijose jwakunyitichisya une pa ŵandu kuti jwele ali jwangune, iyoyo peyo Mwana jwa Mundu chachinjitichisya jwelejo mmbujo mwa achikatumetume ŵa kwinani ŵa Akunnungu.
9 and he who hath denied me before men, shall be denied before the messengers of God,
Nambo, jwalijose jwakungana une pa ŵandu, nombejo chakanikwe mmbujo mwa achikatumetume ŵa kwinani ŵa Akunnungu.
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.
“Mundu jwalijose jwakwaŵechetela yangalumbana Mwana jwa Mundu chalecheleswe, nambo juchannyelusye Mbumu jwa Akunnungu, ngalecheleswa ng'oo.
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,
“Pachachinjigala kwa machili mmajumba ga kupopelela pane mmbujo mwa mamwenye ni ŵakulamula kuti nlamulikwe, nkapwelela kuti chinjanje chichi pane ichimmechete.
12 for the Holy Spirit shall teach you in that hour what it behoveth [you] to say.'
Pakuŵa Mbumu jwa Akunnungu chanjiganye chakuŵecheta katema kakoko.”
13 And a certain one said to him, out of the multitude, 'Teacher, say to my brother to divide with me the inheritance.'
Mundu jumo mumpingo wa ŵandu mula, ŵansalile Che Yesu kuti, “Jwakwiganya, mwasalile akulu ŵangu tusapulane ipanje yatulechele atati ŵetu.”
14 And he said to him, 'Man, who set me a judge or a divider over you?'
Che Yesu ŵajanjile, “Ambusanga, ana ŵaani ŵamisile une kuŵa jwakulamula pasikati jenu pane jwakungaŵanyichisya ipanje yenu?”
15 And he said unto them, 'Observe, and beware of the covetousness, because not in the abundance of one's goods is his life.'
Nipele ŵaasalile wose kuti, “Nlisepusye ni tama ja indu yejinji pakuŵa umi wa mundu nganiupagwa mu winji wa indu yakwete.”
16 And he spake a simile unto them, saying, 'Of a certain rich man the field brought forth well;
Nipele ŵatanjile chitagu chanti, “Kwaliji ni jwachipanje jumo juŵaliji ni ngunda uwasogwele nnope.
17 and he was reasoning within himself, saying, What shall I do, because I have not where I shall gather together my fruits?
Jwachipanje jo ŵaganisisye muntima mwakwe achitiji, ‘Chindende uli pakuŵa une nganingola pakugosela magowolo gangu?’
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,
Ŵatite ‘Chindende yelei, chingagumule ngokwe syangu ni kutaŵa jajikulungwa nnope. Mwelemo chingaŵiche magowolo gangu gose ga ngano ni ipanje yangu.’
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.
Pelepo chinalisalile nansyene, ‘Sambano nkwete ipanje yejinji imwaligosele kwa yaka yejinji, mpumule, ndye ni kung'wa ni kusengwa!’
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?
Nambo Akunnungu ŵaasalile, ‘Mmwejo Jwakuloŵela, achi chilo chino umi wenu chiujigalikwe ni yose indigosele ana chiiŵe ya ŵaani?’”
21 so [is] he who is treasuring up to himself, and is not rich toward God.'
Che Yesu ŵamalichisye kuŵecheta, “Yele ni yaili kwa mundu jwakuligosela ipanje yejinji, nambo paujo pa Akunnungu ngakuŵalanjikwa kuti akwete chindu.”
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;
Nipele Che Yesu ŵaasalile ŵakulijiganya ŵao, “Kwaligongo lyo ngunsalila, ngasinlilagasya kwa ligongo lya umi wenu kuti chindye chichi atamuno kwa ligongo lya iilu yenu kuti chimmwale chichi.
23 the life is more than the nourishment, and the body than the clothing.
Pakuŵa umi upundile kwa yakulya ni chiilu chipundile kwa iwalo.
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?
Ngalole makungulu, ngagakupanda namose kugungula, nganigakola ngokwe namose magulu nambo Akunnungu akugalisya. Ni ŵanyamwe ndi ŵakutopela kugapunda makungulu!
25 and who of you, being anxious, is able to add to his age one cubit?
Nipele, ŵaani mwa ŵanyamwe kwakulichenjeusya nnope akukombola kulijonjechesya namose lyuŵa limo mmoŵa ga umi wakwe?
26 If, then, ye are not able for the least — why for the rest are ye anxious?
Nipele, iŵaga ngankukombola kuchitenda chachinandi mpela chelecho, ligongo chi nkuchenjeuchila ine yo?
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;
Nnole uluŵa umele wakwe. Ngaukupanganya masengo, atamuno ngaukuliluchila iwalo. Nambo ngunsalila kuti namose mwenye che Selemani ni ukulu wao wose nganawale yambone mpela limo lya uluŵa wo.
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?
Nipele iŵaga Akunnungu akulitakusya yeleyo lisamba lya mwitinji lyalikumela lelo ni malaŵi likupatuka ni kwasikwa pa mooto, ana ngati chantakusye kwakupunda ŵanyamwe ŵandi ni chikulupi chamwana?
29 'And ye — seek not what ye may eat, or what ye may drink, and be not in suspense,
“Nipele, ngasinlajila ichinlye atamuno iching'we namose ngasimma ni lipamba.
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;
Pakuŵa yose yo ikuchenjeuchilwa ni ŵandu ŵangakulupilila ŵa ilambo ine ya pachilambo pano. Nambo mwanya Atati ŵenu akumanyilila kuti nkuilajila yele indu.
31 but, seek ye the reign of God, and all these things shall be added to you.
Nipele nsoseje kaje Umwenye wa Akunnungu ni indu ine chiijonjechekwe kukwenu.
32 'Fear not, little flock, because your Father did delight to give you the reign;
“Ngasinjogopa, ŵanyamwe mpingo wenondi! Pakuŵa Atati ŵenu yanonyele kumpa Umwenye wao.
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;
Nsumisye inkwete nkaape ŵandu ŵakulaga mbiya syo. Nlipanganyichisye ilolo yangawisala ni kuligosela mbiko jangapunguka ni jangamala kwinani. Kwangaŵandichila ŵa wiyi atamuno konasika ni idudu.
34 for where your treasure is, there also your heart will be.
Pakuŵa pajili mbiko jenu, pele ntima wenu ni pachiuŵe.
35 'Let your loins be girded, and the lamps burning,
“Nliŵiche chile kwakutumichila ni kuleka imulichilo yenu ininkukolela.
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.
Mbe mpela achikapolo ŵakwalindilila ambuje ŵao kutyochela kuulombela kuti pakupoposya ŵaugulile nnango kwachitema.
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;
Ŵana upile ŵele achikapolo ŵachachasimana ali meeso pachauje Ambuje ŵao! Isyene ngunsalila kuti ambuje wo chaaŵe chile kwatumichila, chiŵatamiche pakulila ni kwatumichila.
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.
Iŵaga chauje pasikati chilo pane atamuno kuninkucha ni kwasimana ali meeso, ŵana upile achikapolo wo.
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;
Nambo mmanyilileje kuti iŵaga nsyene nyuumba akakamanyilile katema chi chaiche jwa wiyi, akaliji meeso, ngakajileche nyuumba jakwe jininkugumulikwa.
40 and ye, then, become ye ready, because at the hour ye think not, the Son of Man doth come.'
Ŵanyamwe nombe nliŵiche chile, pakuŵa Mwana jwa Mundu akwika katema kangankulolela.”
41 And Peter said to him, 'Sir, unto us this simile dost thou speak, or also unto all?'
Che Petulo ŵausisye Che Yesu kuti, “Ambuje, ana chitagu chi chikutugamba uweji pe pane ŵandu wose?”
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?
Ambuje ŵajanjile, “Ana kapolo jwakwimilila chi jwali jwakukulupilichika ni jwalunda, jwaŵichikwe ni ambujegwe kwajimilila achikapolo ŵao kuti ŵagaŵanyichisye yakulya pa katema kakusachilwa?
43 Happy that servant, whom his lord, having come, shall find doing so;
Jwana upile kapolo juchasimanikwe ni ambujegwe ali nkupanganya yele katema pachauje.
44 truly I say to you, that over all his goods he will set him.
Isyene ngunsalila kuti ambujegwe chambiche kapolojo kwimilila ipanje yakwe yose.
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;
Nambo, jwakutumichila ajilaga muntima mwakwe kuti, ambuje ŵangu akukaŵa kuuja ni kutanda kwaputa achikapolo achinjakwe achalume pane achakongwe ni kulya ni kung'wa ni kukolelwa,
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.
ambujegwe kapolo jula chauje pa lyuŵa lyangalilolela ni katema kangakukamanyilila chiŵakatanye ipande ipande ni kwaŵika liunjili limo ni ŵangakukulupilila.
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,
“Ni kapolo jwakumanyilila chakuchisaka ambujegwe, nambo ngakuliŵika chile kwa kupanganya yakusachilwa kupanganya ni ambujegwe, chaputikwe kwa nnope.
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.
Nambo jwangakuimanyilila indu yakuisaka ambujegwe nombe akupanganya indu yaikuŵajilwa kulagaswa chaputikwe kwakanandi. Pakuŵa jwalijose juchapegwe yejinji chasachilwe kutyosya yejinji ni jwalijose jwapegwile kamulila yejinji chasachilwe kuusya yejinji nnope.
49 'Fire I came to cast to the earth, and what will I if already it was kindled?
“Nyiche kukukolesya mooto pachilambo, none ngasachile nnope kuulola uli ukolele!
50 but I have a baptism to be baptized with, and how am I pressed till it may be completed!
Nambo ngwete ubatiso wa masausyo gangusachilwa nagakole, nguŵijikanywa nnope mpaka masausyo ga ubatiso wo pachigamale.
51 'Think ye that peace I came to give in the earth? no, I say to you, but rather division;
Ana nkuganisya kuti nyiche nacho chitendewele pachilambo pano? Ngunsalila, ngwamba, nambo nyiche kukuntindanya.
52 for there shall be henceforth five in one house divided — three against two, and two against three;
Kutandila sambano, ŵandu nsano ŵa uŵelesi umo chatindigane, ŵandu ŵatatu chaputane ni ŵandu ŵaŵili ni ŵandu ŵaŵili chaputane ni ŵandu ŵatatu.
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.'
Atati chatindane ni mwanagwao nombe mwanache chatindane ni atatigwe, achikulu chatindane ni mwanagwe mwali nombe mwali chatindane ni achikulugwe, jwankongwe chatindane ni akwegwao nombe ŵelewo chatindane ni nkwegwao.”
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;
Che Yesu ŵajisalile sooni mipingo ja ŵandu kuti, “Pankugawona maunde ganinkutyochela kulikutiŵilila lyuŵa, papopo ni nkuti lelo chijinye ula ni jikunya.
55 and when — a south wind blowing, ye say, that there will be heat, and it is;
Pajikupuga mbungo kutyochela kulujenda nkuti, ‘Lyuŵa chiliŵale lelo’ ni iyoyo peyo ikutyochela.
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]?
Ŵanyamwe ŵa ulamba, nkukombola kulondola iichiŵe lelo kwakulola chilambo ni kwinani kwachichi nipele nkulepela kugamanyilila malumbo gakatemaka?
57 'And why, also, of yourselves, judge ye not what is righteous?
“Sooni kwachichi ngankulilamulila mwachimisyene chachili chambone chakuchipanganya?
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;
Pakuŵa ikaliji yambone ntende yaili yose kwilana nawo jwammagongo nli mwitala. Iŵaga ngaŵa yeleyo chanjausye kwa jwakulamula nombejo chanjausye kwa jwangondo nombejo champonye mu nyuumba jakutaŵilwa.
59 I say to thee, thou mayest not come forth thence till even the last mite thou mayest give back.'
Ngunsalila isyene kuti ngantyoka mwelemo mpaka pachimmalisye kulipa mbiya ja mbesi.”
