Luuka 12
1 Vahepeal, kui kokku oli kogunenud mitmetuhandeline rahvahulk, nii et üksteise peal tallati, kõneles Jeesus esmalt oma jüngritele: „Olge valvel variseride juuretise pärast, mis on silmakirjalikkus!
In the meantime, a crowd of many thousands had gathered, so that they were trampling one another. Jesus began to speak first to His disciples: “Beware of the leaven of the Pharisees, which is hypocrisy.
2 Midagi ei ole varjatut, mida ei paljastataks, ega salajast, mis teatavaks ei saaks.
There is nothing concealed that will not be disclosed, and nothing hidden that will not be made known.
3 Mis te olete pimedas öelnud, saab kuuldavaks valges, ja mida te kõrva sosistate salakambrites, seda kuulutatakse katustelt.
What you have spoken in the dark will be heard in the daylight, and what you have whispered in the inner rooms will be proclaimed from the housetops.
4 Ma ütlen teile, sõbrad, ärge kartke neid, kes ihu tapavad ja pärast seda ei saa midagi teha!
I tell you, My friends, do not be afraid of those who kill the body and after that can do no more.
5 Aga ma näitan teile, keda te peate kartma: kartke teda, kellel on meelevald teid pärast tapmist heita põrgusse! Jah, ma ütlen teile, teda kartke! (Geenna g1067)
But I will show you whom you should fear: Fear the One who, after you have been killed, has authority to throw you into hell. Yes, I tell you, fear Him! (Geenna g1067)
6 Kas ei müüda viit varblast kahe penni eest? Ometi pole Jumal unustanud ühtki neist.
Are not five sparrows sold for two pennies? Yet not one of them is forgotten by God.
7 Ent teie juuksekarvadki on kõik ära loetud. Ärge kartke, te olete rohkem väärt kui palju varblasi.
And even the very hairs of your head are all numbered. So do not be afraid; you are worth more than many sparrows.
8 Ma ütlen teile, et igaüks, kes mind tunnistab inimeste ees, teda tunnistab ka Inimese Poeg Jumala inglite ees.
I tell you, everyone who confesses Me before men, the Son of Man will also confess him before the angels of God.
9 Aga kes mind ära salgab inimeste ees, salatakse ära ka Jumala inglite ees.
But whoever denies Me before men will be denied before the angels of God.
10 Igaühele, kes ütleb sõna Inimese Poja vastu, antakse andeks, aga kes teotab Püha Vaimu, sellele ei andestata.
And everyone who speaks a word against the Son of Man will be forgiven, but whoever blasphemes against the Holy Spirit will not be forgiven.
11 Kui teid viiakse sünagoogidesse ning võimude ja valitsejate ette, siis ärge muretsege, kuidas end kaitsta või mida öelda,
When you are brought before synagogues, rulers, and authorities, do not worry about how to defend yourselves or what to say.
12 sest sel hetkel õpetab Püha Vaim teile, mida te peate ütlema.“
For at that time the Holy Spirit will teach you what you should say.”
13 Keegi rahva seast ütles talle: „Õpetaja, käsi mu vennal jagada pärandus minuga!“
Someone in the crowd said to Him, “Teacher, tell my brother to divide the inheritance with me.”
14 Jeesus vastas: „Kes mind on määranud teie vahele kohtunikuks või õigusemõistjaks?“
But Jesus replied, “Man, who appointed Me judge or executor between you?”
15 Siis ta ütles neile: „Olge valvel igasuguse ahnuse pärast, sest inimese elu ei seisne tema omandi külluses.“
And He said to them, “Watch out! Guard yourselves against every form of greed, for one’s life does not consist in the abundance of his possessions.”
16 Ja siis ta rääkis neile tähendamissõna: „Ühe rikka mehe põld andis hea saagi.
Then He told them a parable: “The ground of a certain rich man produced an abundance.
17 Ta mõtles endamisi: „Mida ma pean tegema? Mul pole kuhugi oma saaki panna.“
So he thought to himself, ‘What shall I do, since I have nowhere to store my crops?’
18 Ja ta ütles: „Ma teen nii: ma lõhun maha oma aidad ja ehitan suuremad, kuhu ma kogun vilja ülejäägi.
Then he said, ‘This is what I will do: I will tear down my barns and will build bigger ones, and there I will store up all my grain and my goods.
19 Ja ma ütlen iseendale: „Sul on kõrvale pandud külluses vara paljudeks aastateks. Puhka, söö, joo ja ole rõõmus!““
Then I will say to myself, “You have plenty of good things laid up for many years. Take it easy. Eat, drink, and be merry!”’
20 Aga Jumal ütles talle: „Sina rumal! Selsamal ööl võetakse sinult su elu. Aga kes saab siis selle, mis sa oled endale soetanud?“
But God said to him, ‘You fool! This very night your life will be required of you. Then who will own what you have accumulated?’
21 Nii on igaühega, kes kogub asju enda jaoks, kuid ei ole rikas Jumalas.“
This is how it will be for anyone who stores up treasure for himself but is not rich toward God.”
22 Siis Jeesus ütles jüngritele: „Seepärast ma ütlen teile, ärge muretsege oma elu pärast, mida süüa, ega ihu pärast, mida selga panna,
Then Jesus said to His disciples, “Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat, or about your body, what you will wear.
23 sest elu on enam kui toit ja ihu enam kui rõivad.
For life is more than food, and the body more than clothes.
24 Vaadake kaarnaid – nad ei külva ega lõika, neil ei ole hoiuruumi ega aita, ometi Jumal toidab neid. Kui palju enam väärt lindudest olete teie!
Consider the ravens: They do not sow or reap, they have no storehouse or barn; yet God feeds them. How much more valuable you are than the birds!
25 Aga kes teie seast suudaks muretsemisega ennast ühe küünragi pikemaks teha?
Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to his life?
26 Ja kui te seda väikest asja ei suuda, milleks siis teiste asjade pärast muretseda!
So if you cannot do such a small thing, why do you worry about the rest?
27 Vaadake, kuidas lilled kasvavad! Nad ei tööta ega ketra. Siiski ma ütlen teile, isegi Saalomon kogu oma hiilguses ei olnud riietatud nii nagu igaüks neist.
Consider how the lilies grow: They do not labor or spin. Yet I tell you, not even Solomon in all his glory was adorned like one of these.
28 Kui aga Jumal niimoodi riietab väljal rohtu, mis täna on, aga homme heidetakse tulle, kui palju enam ta riietab siis teid, te nõdrausulised!
If that is how God clothes the grass of the field, which is here today and tomorrow is thrown into the furnace, how much more will He clothe you, O you of little faith!
29 Ärge muretsege selle pärast, mida süüa või juua, ärge vaevake ennast sellega.
And do not be concerned about what you will eat or drink. Do not worry about it.
30 Sest kõigi nende asjade järel jookseb paganlik maailm, kuid teie Isa ju teab, et te seda vajate.
For the Gentiles of the world strive after all these things, and your Father knows that you need them.
31 Pigem otsige tema kuningriiki, ja see kõik antakse teile samuti!
But seek His kingdom, and these things will be added unto you.
32 Ära karda, väike karjake, sest teie Isal on hea meel anda teile kuningriik!
Do not be afraid, little flock, for your Father is pleased to give you the kingdom.
33 Müüge enda omand ja andke tulu vaestele! Varuge enesele kulumatud kukrud ja soetage püsiv varandus taevas, kuhu varas ei tule ja mida koi ei riku.
Sell your possessions and give to the poor. Provide yourselves with purses that will not wear out, an inexhaustible treasure in heaven, where no thief approaches and no moth destroys.
34 Sest kus on su varandus, seal on ka su süda!
For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.
35 Olge riietatud teenimiseks ja hoidke oma lambid põlemas
Be dressed for service and keep your lamps burning.
36 nagu inimesed, kes ootavad isandat pulmapeolt koju. Et kui ta tuleb ja koputab, on nad otsekohe valmis talle ust avama.
Then you will be like servants waiting for their master to return from the wedding banquet, so that when he comes and knocks, they can open the door for him at once.
37 Õnnistatud on need sulased, kelle isand saabudes leiab nad ootamas. Ma kinnitan teile: ta riietab end teenimiseks, paneb nad lauda istuma ja toidab neid.
Blessed are those servants whom the master finds on watch when he returns. Truly I tell you, he will dress himself to serve and will have them recline at the table, and he himself will come and wait on them.
38 Õnnistatud on need sulased, kelle isand leiab nad valvamas, isegi kui ta tuleb teise või kolmanda vahikorra ajal öösel.
Even if he comes in the second or third watch of the night and finds them alert, those servants will be blessed.
39 Küllap te mõistate, et kui peremees teaks, millisel öötunnil varas tuleb, ei laseks ta oma majja sisse murda.
But understand this: If the homeowner had known at what hour the thief was coming, he would not have let his house be broken into.
40 Ka teie olge valmis, sest Inimese Poeg tuleb tunnil, mil te ei arvagi!“
You also must be ready, because the Son of Man will come at an hour you do not expect.”
41 Peetrus küsis: „Issand, kas sa räägid seda tähendamissõna meile või kõikidele?“
“Lord,” said Peter, “are You addressing this parable to us, or to everyone else as well?”
42 Issand vastas: „Kes küll on ustav ja arukas majapidaja, kelle isand seab oma sulaste üle neid õigel ajal toitma?
And the Lord answered, “Who then is the faithful and wise manager, whom the master puts in charge of his servants to give them their portion at the proper time?
43 Õnnistatud on sulane, kelle ta isand tulles leiab nõnda tegevat!
Blessed is that servant whose master finds him doing so when he returns.
44 Tõesti, ma ütlen teile, ta annab tema hoolde kogu oma vara.
Truly I tell you, he will put him in charge of all his possessions.
45 Aga kui see sulane mõtleb: „Mu isanda tulek viibib, “ning hakkab peksma teisi sulaseid ja tüdrukuid, sööma ja jooma ja purjutama,
But suppose that servant says in his heart, ‘My master will be a long time in coming,’ and he begins to beat the menservants and maidservants, and to eat and drink and get drunk.
46 siis selle sulase isand tuleb päeval, mil ta ei oota, ja tunnil, mida ta ei tea. Ta raiub sulase tükkideks ja annab talle sama koha uskmatutega.
The master of that servant will come on a day he does not expect and at an hour he does not anticipate. Then he will cut him to pieces and assign him a place with the unbelievers.
47 See sulane, kes küll teab oma isanda tahtmist, kuid ei valmistu ega tee tema tahtmise järgi, saab palju peksa.
That servant who knows his master’s will but does not get ready or follow his instructions will be beaten with many blows.
48 Kuid kes ei tea, aga teeb karistamist väärivaid asju, saab peksa vähem. Igaühelt, kellele on antud palju, nõutakse palju, ja kellele on usaldatud palju, sellelt küsitakse palju rohkem.
But the one who unknowingly does things worthy of punishment will be beaten with few blows. From everyone who has been given much, much will be required; and from him who has been entrusted with much, even more will be demanded.
49 Tuld olen ma tulnud tooma maa peale, ja kuidas ma soovin, et see oleks juba süttinud!
I have come to ignite a fire on the earth, and how I wish it were already kindled!
50 Aga mul on vaja läbi minna ristimisest! Ja millise koorma all ma olen, kuni see on lõpetatud!
But I have a baptism to undergo, and how distressed I am until it is accomplished!
51 Kas te arvate, et ma tulin rahu tooma maa peale? Ei, üldse mitte, vaid lahkmeelt.
Do you think that I have come to bring peace to the earth? No, I tell you, but division.
52 Nüüdsest on ühes peres viis üksteise vastu lahkmeeles: kolm kahe vastu ja kaks kolme vastu.
From now on, five in one household will be divided, three against two and two against three.
53 Lahkmeeles on isa poja vastu ja poeg isa vastu, ema tütre vastu ja tütar ema vastu, ämm minia vastu ja minia ämma vastu.“
They will be divided, father against son and son against father, mother against daughter and daughter against mother, mother-in-law against daughter-in-law and daughter-in-law against mother-in-law.”
54 Jeesus ütles ka rahvahulgale: „Kui te näete pilve tõusmas läänest, ütlete kohe: „Läheb vihmale.“Ja nii ta läheb.
Then Jesus said to the crowds, “As soon as you see a cloud rising in the west, you say, ‘A shower is coming,’ and that is what happens.
55 Ja kui puhub lõunatuul, siis te ütlete: „Läheb palavaks.“Ja nõnda see on.
And when the south wind blows, you say, ‘It will be hot,’ and it is.
56 Te silmakirjatsejad! Maa ja taeva ilmeid te teate, kuidas tõlgendada! Aga kuidas te siis praegust aega ei oska tõlgendada?
You hypocrites! You know how to interpret the appearance of the earth and sky. Why don’t you know how to interpret the present time?
57 Miks te ise ei otsusta, mis on õige?
And why don’t you judge for yourselves what is right?
58 Kui sa oma vastasega lähed valitseja ette, püüa temaga ruttu teel olles ära leppida, et ta sind ei veaks kohtuniku juurde ja kohtunik ei annaks sind kohtuteenri kätte ja kohtuteener ei heidaks sind vanglasse.
Make every effort to reconcile with your adversary while you are on your way to the magistrate. Otherwise, he may drag you off to the judge, and the judge may hand you over to the officer, and the officer may throw you into prison.
59 Ma ütlen sulle, sa ei pääse sealt enne, kui sa oled tagasi maksnud viimsegi veeringu.“
I tell you, you will not get out until you have paid the very last penny.”
