Luka 12
1 O hĩndĩ ĩyo, rĩrĩa kĩrĩndĩ kĩa andũ ngiri nyingĩ kĩonganĩte hamwe, nginya makarangana-rĩ, Jesũ akĩamba kwarĩria arutwo ake, akĩmeera atĩrĩ, “Mwĩmenyererei ndawa ya kũimbia mĩgate ya Afarisai, na nĩyo ũhinga.
As ther gadered together an innumerable multitude of people (in so moche that they trood one another) he began to saye vnto his disciples: Fyrst of all beware of the leve of the Pharises which is ypocrisy.
2 Gũtirĩ ũndũ mũhithanie ũtakaguũrio, o na kana ũndũ mũhithe ũtakamenyeka.
For ther is no thinge covered that shall not be vncovered: nether hyd that shall not be knowen.
3 Maũndũ marĩa mwarĩirie nduma-inĩ, makaiguuo mũthenya barigici, na ũrĩa wothe mwanahehanĩrĩra matũ-inĩ mũrĩ tũnyũmba twa thĩinĩ, nĩũkanĩrĩrwo kuuma nyũmba igũrũ.
For whatsoever ye have spoken in in darknes: that same shalbe hearde in light. And that which ye have spoken in the the eare eve in secret places shalbe preached even on the toppe of the housses.
4 “Ngũmwĩra atĩrĩ arata akwa, tigagai gwĩtigĩra arĩa mooragaga mwĩrĩ na thuutha ũcio gũtirĩ ũndũ mangĩhota gwĩka.
I saye vnto you my fredes: Be not afrayde of them that kyll the body and after that have no moare that they can do.
5 No nĩ ngũmuonia ũrĩa inyuĩ mwagĩrĩirwo nĩ gwĩtigĩra: Mwĩtigagĩrei ũrĩa ũngĩũraga mwĩrĩ na thuutha wa ũguo arĩ na ũhoti wa gũikia mũndũ Jehanamu. Ngũmwĩra atĩrĩ na ma, mwĩtigagĩrei ũcio. (Geenna g1067)
But I will shewe you whom ye shall feare. Feare him which after he hath killed hath power to cast into hell. Ye I saye vnto you him feare. (Geenna g1067)
6 Githĩ tũnyoni tũtano tũtiendagio tũthendi twĩrĩ? No rĩrĩ, gũtirĩ o na kamwe gatuo Ngai ariganagĩrwo nĩko.
Are not five sparowes bought for two farthinges? And yet not one of them is forgotten of God.
7 No ti-itherũ, o na njuĩrĩ cianyu cia mũtwe nĩ ndare. Tigagai gwĩtigĩra, inyuĩ mũrĩ a bata gũkĩra tũnyoni tũingĩ.
Also even the very heres of youre heedes are nombred. Feare not therfore: ye are moare of value then many sparowes.
8 “Ngũmwĩra atĩrĩ, ũrĩa wothe ũkanyumbũra mbere ya andũ, o nake Mũrũ wa Mũndũ nĩakamumbũra mbere ya araika a Ngai.
I saye vnto you: Whosoever confesseth me before men eve him shall ye sonne of man confesse also before ye angels of God.
9 No ũrĩa ũkangaana mbere ya andũ ũcio nĩagakaanwo mbere ya araika a Ngai.
And he that denyeth me before men: shalbe denyed before ye angels of God.
10 Nake mũndũ o wothe ũrĩa ũgaacambia Mũrũ wa Mũndũ nĩakarekerwo, no ũrĩa wothe ũkaruma Roho Mũtheru ndakarekerwo.
And whosoever speaketh a worde agaynst ye sonne of ma it shalbe forgeven him. But vnto him yt blasphemeth the holy goost it shall not be forgeven.
11 “Rĩrĩa mũgaatwarwo mbere ya thunagogi, na mbere ya aathani na anene mũciirithio-rĩ, mũtikanetange na ũrĩa mũgacookia kana ũrĩa mũkoiga,
When they bringe you vnto the synagoges and vnto the rulers and officers take no thought how or what thinge ye shall answer or what ye shall speake.
12 nĩgũkorwo hĩndĩ ĩyo Roho Mũtheru nĩakamũruta ũrĩa mwagĩrĩirwo nĩ kuuga.”
For the holy goost shall teache you in the same houre what ye ought to saye.
13 Mũndũ ũmwe warĩ gatagatĩ-inĩ ka andũ acio akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Mũrutani, ĩra mũrũ wa maitũ tũgayane nake igai riitũ.”
One of the company sayde vnto hym: Master byd my brother devide the enheritauce with me.
14 Nake Jesũ akĩmũcookeria atĩrĩ, “Mũndũ ũyũ, nũũ ũnduĩte wa kũmũtuithania ciira kana wa kũmũgayania indo cianyu?”
And he sayde vnto him: Man who made me a iudge or a devider over you?
15 Agĩcooka akĩmeera atĩrĩ, “Mwĩmenyererei! Mũtigakorokere maũndũ; nĩgũkorwo muoyo wa mũndũ ndũthimagwo na mũigana wa indo iria arĩ nacio.”
Wherfore he sayde vnto them: take hede and beware of covetousnes. For no mannes lyfe stondeth in the aboundaunce of the thinges which he possesseth.
16 Agĩcooka akĩmahe ũhoro na ngerekano, akĩmeera atĩrĩ, “Mũgũnda wa mũndũ ũmwe gĩtonga nĩwaciarire mũno.
And he put forth a similitude vnto them sayinge: The groude of a certayne riche ma brought forth frutes plenteously
17 Nake akĩĩyũria na ngoro yake atĩrĩ, ‘Ngwĩka atĩa? Ndirĩ na handũ ha kũiga magetha makwa.’
and he thought in himsilfe sayinge: what shall I do? because I have noo roume where to bestowe my frutes?
18 “Agĩcooka akiuga atĩrĩ, ‘Nĩndamenya ũrĩa ngwĩka. Ngũtharia makũmbĩ makwa, njake mangĩ manene kũrĩ mo, njige magetha makwa mothe na indo ciakwa ciothe kuo.
And he sayde: This will I do. I will destroye my barnes and bilde greater and therin will I gadder all my frutes and my goodes:
19 Njooke njĩĩre ngoro yakwa atĩrĩ, “Ũrĩ na indo nyingĩ njega wĩigĩire cia gũkũigana mĩaka mĩingĩ. Wĩhuurũkĩre, ũrĩe na ũnyue, na ũcanjamũke.”’
and I will saye to my soule: Soule thou hast moch goodes layde vp in stoore for many yeares take thyne ease: eate drinke and be mery.
20 “No Ngai akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, ‘Wee kĩrimũ gĩkĩ! Ũtukũ ũyũ wa ũmũthĩ nĩũgwĩtio muoyo waku. Indo icio wĩigĩire-rĩ, igaatuĩka cia ũ?’
But God sayde vnto him: Thou fole this night will they fetche awaye thy soule agayne from the. Then whose shall thoose thinges be which thou hast provyded?
21 “Ũguo nĩguo gũgaatuĩka harĩ mũndũ o wothe ũrĩa wĩigagĩra mĩthithũ, no akaaga gwĩtongia na ũhoro wa Ngai.”
So is it with him that gadereth ryches and is not ryche in God.
22 Jesũ agĩcooka akĩĩra arutwo ake atĩrĩ, “Nĩ ũndũ ũcio ngũmwĩra atĩrĩ, mũtigetangage nĩ ũndũ wa mĩoyo yanyu nĩ ũndũ wa kĩrĩa mũrĩrĩĩaga, kana kĩrĩa mũrĩhumbaga mĩĩrĩ yanyu.
And he spake vnto his disciples: Therfore I saye vnto you: take no thought for youre lyfe what ye shall eate nether for youre body what ye shall put on.
23 Muoyo-rĩ, ũrĩ bata gũkĩra irio, naguo mwĩrĩ ũrĩ bata gũkĩra nguo.
The lyfe is moare then meate and the bodye is moare then rayment.
24 Ta mwĩciiriei ũhoro wa mahuru: Matihaandaga kana makagetha, o na matirĩ kũndũ gwa kũiga irio kana makũmbĩ, no Ngai nĩamaheaga irio. Inyuĩ githĩ mũtirĩ a bata mũno gũkĩra nyoni!
Considre the ravens for they nether sowe nor repe which nether have stoorehousse ner barne and yet God fedeth them. How moche are ye better then the foules.
25 Nũũ wanyu ũngĩhota kuongerera muoyo wake ithaa o na rĩmwe nĩ ũndũ wa gwĩtanga?
Which of you with takynge thought can adde to his stature one cubit?
26 Rĩu-rĩ, angĩkorwo mũtingĩhota gwĩka ũndũ mũnini ũguo-rĩ, mũgĩtangĩkaga na maũndũ macio mangĩ nĩkĩ?”
Yf ye then be not able to do that thinge which is least: why take ye thought for the remmaunt?
27 Ta mwĩcũraniei ũrĩa itoka ikũraga. Itirutaga wĩra kana ikogotha ndigi. No ngũmwĩra atĩrĩ, o na Solomoni arĩ na riiri wake wothe, ndaagemete ta kĩmwe gĩacio.
Considre the lylies how they growe: They laboure not: they spyn not: and yet I saye vnto you that Salomon in all this royalte was not clothed lyke to one of these.
28 Angĩkorwo ũguo nĩguo Ngai ahumbaga nyeki ya gĩthaka, ĩrĩa ĩrĩ ho ũmũthĩ na rũciũ igaikio mwaki-inĩ-rĩ, githĩ inyuĩ ndarĩkĩmũhumbaga makĩria, inyuĩ mwĩtĩkĩtie o hanini!
Yf the grasse which is todaye in the felde and tomorowe shalbe cast into the fornace God so clothe: how moche moore will he clothe you o ye endued wt litell faith?
29 Tigagai gũthĩĩnĩka ngoro-inĩ cianyu nĩ ũndũ wa kĩrĩa mũrĩrĩĩaga kana mũrĩnyuuaga; mũtigatangĩkage nĩ ũndũ wa ũguo.
And axe not what ye shall eate or what ye shall drinke nether clyme ye vp an hye
30 Nĩgũkorwo maũndũ maya mothe nĩmo andũ a gũkũ thĩ arĩa matetĩkĩtie Ngai macaranagia namo, no Ithe wanyu nĩoĩ atĩ nĩmũbatarĩtio nĩmo.
for all suche thinges the hethen people of the worlde seke for. Youre father knoweth that ye have nede of suche thinges.
31 No rĩrĩ, caragiai ũthamaki wake, na maũndũ maya mangĩ mothe nĩmũrĩheagwo o namo.
Wherfore seke ye after the kyngedome of God and all these thinges shalbe ministred vnto you.
32 “Tigagai gwĩtigĩra, inyuĩ rũũru rũrũ rũnini, nĩgũkorwo Ithe wanyu nĩonete arĩ wega kũmũhe ũthamaki ũcio.
Feare not litell floocke for it is youre fathers pleasure to geve you a kingdome.
33 Endiai indo iria mũrĩ nacio mũcooke mũteithie athĩĩni. Mwĩthondekerei ibeeti cia mbeeca iria itangĩtarũka, na mwĩgĩĩre na kĩgĩĩna igũrũ kĩrĩa gĩtangĩthira, kũrĩa gũtarĩ mũici ũngĩkuhĩrĩria na gũtirĩ memenyi cia gũkĩananga
Sell that ye have and geve almes. And make you bagges which wexe not olde and treasure that fayleth not in heaven where noo these commeth nether moth corrupteth.
34 Nĩgũkorwo o kũrĩa mĩthiithũ wanyu ĩrĩ, nokuo ngoro cianyu o nacio irĩkoragwo irĩ.
For where youre treasure is there will youre hertes be also.
35 “Ikaragai mwĩhotorete, mwĩhaarĩirie gũtungata, na mũige matawa manyu magĩakanaga,
Let youre loynes be gerdde about and youre lightes brennynge
36 o ta andũ metereire mwathi wao acooke kuuma iruga-inĩ rĩa kĩhikanio, nĩguo rĩrĩa agaacooka, aaringaringa mũrango mamũhingũrĩre o narua.
and ye youre selves lyke vnto men that wayte for their master when he will returne fro a weddinge: that assone as he cometh and knocketh they maye ope vnto him.
37 Nĩũgakorwo ũrĩ ũndũ mwega harĩ ndungata iria mwathi wacio agaakora ciĩiguĩte rĩrĩa agacooka. Ngũmwĩra atĩrĩ na ma, nĩakehotora acitungatĩre, aciikarie metha-inĩ, na acooke acirehere irio irĩe.
Happy are those servauntes which the Lorde when he cometh shall fynde wakynge. Verely I saye vnto you he will gerdde him selfe about and make them sit doune to meate and walke by and minister vnto them.
38 Nĩũgakorwo ũrĩ ũndũ mwega harĩ ndungata iria mwathi wacio agaakora ciĩhaarĩirie, o na angĩgooka ũtukũ gatagatĩ kana thaa kenda gũgĩkĩa.
And yf he come in the seconde watche ye if he come in the thyrde watche and shall fynde them soo happy are those servauntes.
39 No rĩrĩ, menyai ũũ: Korwo mwene nyũmba nĩamenyete ithaa rĩrĩa mũici egũũka-rĩ, ndangĩarekire nyũmba yake ĩtuuo.
This vnderstonde that yf the good man of the housse knewe what houre ye these wolde come he wolde suerly watche: and not suffer his housse to be broken vp.
40 O na inyuĩ no nginya mũikarage mwĩhaarĩirie, tondũ Mũrũ wa Mũndũ agooka ithaa rĩrĩa mũtamwĩrĩgĩrĩire.”
Be ye prepared therfore: for the sonne of man will come at an houre when ye thinke not.
41 Petero akĩmũũria atĩrĩ, “Mwathani, nĩ ithuĩ ũrahe ũhoro na ngerekano ĩno kana ũreera mũndũ o wothe?”
Then Peter sayde vnto him: Master tellest thou this similitude vnto vs or to all men?
42 Nake Mwathani agĩcookia akĩmũũria atĩrĩ, “Ndungata ya kwĩhokwo na njũgĩ, o ĩrĩa mwathi wayo angĩĩhokera kũroraga ndungata ciake, na ĩciheage irio hĩndĩ ĩrĩa yagĩrĩire, nĩĩrĩkũ?
And the Lorde sayde: If there be any faith full servaut and wise whom his Lorde shall make ruler over his housholde to geve them their duetie of meate at due season:
43 Nĩũgakorwo ũrĩ ũndũ mwega harĩ ndungata ĩyo, ĩrĩa mwathi wayo agooka akore ĩgĩĩka ũguo.
happy is that servaunt whom his master when he cometh shall finde soo doinge.
44 Ngũmwĩra atĩrĩ na ma, nĩakamĩĩhokera indo ciake ciothe.
Of a trueth I saye vnto you: that he will make him ruler over all that he hath.
45 No rĩrĩ, ĩ ndungata ĩyo ĩngĩĩra na ngoro yayo atĩrĩ, ‘Mwathi wakwa ndaracooka narua,’ nayo yambĩrĩrie kũhũũra ndungata cia arũme na cia andũ-a-nja, na kũrĩa na kũnyua na kũrĩĩo-rĩ,
But and yf the evyll servaunt shall saye in his hert: My master wyll differre his cominge and shall beginne to smyte the servauntes and maydens and to eate and drinke and to be dronken:
46 Mwathi wa ndungata ĩyo agooka mũthenya ũrĩa ĩtamwĩrĩgĩrĩire o na ithaa rĩrĩa ĩtooĩ, nake nĩakamĩherithia mũno, na amĩtuĩre ciira ta wa andũ arĩa matarĩ ehokeku.
the Lorde of that servaunt will come in a daye when he thinketh not and at an houre when he is not ware and will devyde him and will geve him his rewarde with the vnbelevers.
47 “Ndungata ĩrĩa ĩmenyaga ũrĩa mwathi wayo endaga na ndĩĩhaaragĩria kana ĩgeeka ũrĩa Mwathi wayo endaga, ĩkaahũũrwo mahũũra maingĩ.
The servaut that knewe his masters will and prepared not him selfe nether dyd accordinge to his will shalbe bete with many strypes.
48 No ĩrĩa ĩtooĩ na nĩĩkaga maũndũ marĩa magĩrĩire kũherithanĩrio, ĩkaahũũrwo mahũũra matarĩ maingĩ. Ũrĩa wothe ũheetwo indo nyingĩ, ageetio indo nyingĩ; nake ũrĩa wĩhokeirwo nyingĩ makĩria nĩageetio nyingĩ makĩria.
But he that knewe not and yet dyd committe thinges worthy of strypes shalbe beaten with feawe strypes. For vnto whom moche is geven of him shalbe moche requyred. And to whom men moche commyt the moare of him will they axe.
49 “Njũkĩte kũrehe mwaki gũkũ thĩ, naarĩ korwo mwaki ũcio nĩwambĩrĩirie gwakana!
I am come to sende fyre on erth: and what is my dysyre but that it were all redy kyndled?
50 No ndĩ na ũbatithio ndĩrĩbatithio naguo, no kaĩ nĩngũthĩĩnĩka mũno ũngĩgaakinya-ĩ!
Not with stondinge I must de baptised with a baptyme: and how am I payned till it be ended?
51 Mũgwĩciiria ndokire kũrehe thayũ gũkũ thĩ? Ngũmwĩra atĩrĩ, ũguo tiguo, ndookire kũrehe nyamũkano.
Suppose ye that I am come to sende peace on erth? I tell you naye: but rather debate.
52 Kuuma rĩu gũthiĩ na mbere, andũ atano a mũciĩ ũmwe marĩkoragwo magayũkanĩte, atatũ magookĩrĩra eerĩ, nao eerĩ magookĩrĩra atatũ.
For fro hence forthe ther shalbe five in one housse devided thre agaynst two and two agaynst thre.
53 Nao marĩkoragwo magayũkanĩte ũũ, ithe agookĩrĩra mũriũ nake mũriũ agookĩrĩra ithe, nyina agookĩrĩra mwarĩ nake mwarĩ agookĩrĩra nyina, nyaciarawe agookĩrĩra mũtumia wa mũriũ nake mũtumia wa mũriũ agookĩrĩra nyaciarawe.”
The father shalbe devided agaynst the sonne and the sonne agaynst the father. The mother agaynst the doughter and the doughter agaynst the mother. The motereleawe agaynst hir doughterelawe and the doughterelawe agaynst hir motherelawe.
54 Jesũ akĩĩra kĩrĩndĩ kĩu atĩrĩ, “Hĩndĩ ĩrĩa muona itu rĩkĩambata riumĩte ithũĩro, o rĩmwe muugaga atĩrĩ, ‘Nĩgũkuura mbura,’ na gũkoira.
Then sayde he to the people: when ye se a cloude ryse out of the west strayght waye ye saye: we shall have a shower and soo it is.
55 Hĩndĩ ĩrĩa rũhuho rwahurutana ruumĩte gũthini muugaga atĩrĩ, ‘Nĩgũkũgĩa na ũrugarĩ,’ na gũkagĩa.
And when ye se the south wynde blow ye saye: we shall have heet and it cometh to passe.
56 Inyuĩ hinga ici! Nĩmũũĩ wega gũkũũrana ũrĩa igũrũ na thĩ gũtariĩ. Mũkĩremagwo nĩgũkũũrana ũhoro wa mahinda maya tũrĩ nĩkĩ?
Ypocrites ye can skyll of the fassion of the erth and of the skye: but what is ye cause that ye canot skyll of this time?
57 “Mwagaga gwĩtuĩra inyuĩ ene ũrĩa kwagĩrĩire nĩkĩ?
Ye and why iudge ye not of youre selves what is righte?
58 Na rĩrĩ, rĩrĩa mũrathiĩ na thũ yaku kũrĩ mũciirithania-rĩ, geria mũno wĩiguithanie nayo mũrĩ o njĩra-inĩ, ndĩgagũkururie ĩgũtware kũrĩ mũciirithania, nake mũciirithania akũneane kũrĩ mũnene, nake mũnene ũcio agũikie njeera.
Whill thou goest with thyne adversary to the ruler: as thou arte in the waye geve diligence that thou mayst be delivered fro him least he bringe the to the iudge and the iudge delyver the to the iaylar and the iaylar cast the in to preson.
59 Ngũkwĩra atĩrĩ, ndũkoima kuo ũtarĩhĩte thiirĩ wothe, hatarĩ gathendi ũgũtigia.”
I tell ye thou departest not thence tyll thou have made good ye vtmost myte.
