Luka 12
1 Akatungu ako, ebhiumbi bhya abhanu nibhekofyanya amwi, okukingila nibhamba ukutajana, namba okwaika na abheigisibhwa bhaye okwamba, “Mwikenge ne echifwimbya cha Abhafarisayo echo ni bhunafiki”
In the mean time, when myriads of the people had come together, so that they trod one upon another, he began to say to his disciples first of all: Beware of the leaven of the Pharisees, which is hypocrisy.
2 Italibhao mbisike iselekele inu italisululwa, nolwo egambo liselekelwe linu litalimenyekana.
For there is nothing covered, which shall not be revealed, and hid, which shall not be made known.
3 Na lyona lyona linu mwaikile muli muchisute, lilyungwibhwa mubhwelu. Na gonagona ganu mwaikile mukutwi muli munsika jemwe eja munda bhigae galyaikwa ingulu yoruswi lwa inyumba.
Wherefore, what you have spoken in the darkness, shall be heard in the light; and what you have spoken in the ear in closets, shall be proclaimed upon the house-tops.
4 Bhasani bhani enibhabhwila, mwasiga okubhaya bhanu abheta omubhili na nibhamala bhatali na chinu chindi echokukola,
But I say to you, my friends, Fear not them that kill the body, and after that have no more that they can do.
5 Nawe enibhaonya mumenye owokubhaya. Mubhaye unu kamala okwita na ali no obhutulo obhwokulasa mwitanga lyomulilo. Yee, enibhabhwila mubhaye oyo. (Geenna g1067)
But I will show you whom you shall fear: Fear him who, after he has killed, has authority to cast into hell; yes, I say to you, Fear him. (Geenna g1067)
6 Mbe enibhusha, ebhitamba bhitanu bhatabhigusha senti ebhili? nawe ona kataliwo nakamwi kanu Nyamuanga alikalabhilwa imbele yaye.
Are not five sparrows sold for two farthings? yet not one of them is forgotten before God.
7 Nawe mumenye ati, jimfwili je emitwe jemwe jibhalilwe. Msige kubhaya. Emwe muli ne echibhalo chinene okukila ebhitamba bhyafu.
But even the hairs of your head are all numbered. Fear not, therefore; you are of more value than many sparrows.
8 Enibhabhwila, wonawona unu alinyikilisha imbele ya abhanu, Omwana wa Adamu ona alimwikilisha imbele ya bhamalaika bha Nyamuanga.
And I further say to you, Whoever confesses me before men, him will the Son of man also confess before the angels of God.
9 Nawe wonawona unu alinyigana imbele ya abhanu omwene ona nilimwigana imbele ya bhamalaika bha Nyamuanga.
But he that denies me before men, shall be denied before the angels of God.
10 Wonawona unu alyaikako Omwana wa Adamu kubhibhi, alisasilwa, nawe wonawona unu alijimya Mwoyo Mweru, atalisasilwa.
And whoever shall speak a word against the Son of man, it shall be forgiven him; but he that speaks impiously against the Holy Spirit, shall not be forgiven.
11 “Bhalibha bhabhasila imbele ya abhakulu bha amasinagogi, abhatwale, na abhobhuinga, mwasiga kubhaya ingulu ya kutyo mulaika okwibhambalila amo ati echija okwaika chinuki,
When they bring you to the synagogues, and to rulers and authorities, be not anxious how or what you shall answer, or what you shall say;
12 kulwokubha Mwoyo Mweru kaja okubheigisha injila yo okwaika mukatungu ako.”
for the Holy Spirit shall teach you in that hour what you ought to say.
13 Omunu umwi mwiijo namubhwila ati, “Mwiigisha, nubhwile omumula wasu anane libhala lyo omwandu gwani.”
And a certain one of the multitude said to him: Teacher, speak to my brother, that he divide the inheritance with me.
14 Yesu nasubhya ati, “Niga unu anteyewo okubha mulamusi na mugwatanyisha wemwe?
But he said to him: Man, who made me a judge or a divider over you?
15 Nio nabhabhwila ati, “Mwikenge na bhuli mbaga yo omululu, kulwokubha obhuanga bhwo omunu bhutali mubhwafu bhe ebhinu bhini alinabhyo.”
And he said to them: Take heed and beware of covetousness; for a man’s life depends not on the abundance of his possessions.
16 Yesu nabhabhwila echijejekanyo, naika ati, “Lisambu lya omunu umwi owalibhona lyaisishe ebhilyo bhyafu,
And he spoke a parable to them, saying: The farm of a certain rich man brought forth plentifully.
17 nebhusha mumwoyo gwaye naika ati, 'nikole kutiki kulwokubha nitali nawakutula ebhilyo bhyani?
And he reasoned within himself, saying: What shall I do? for I have no place in which I can store my fruits.
18 Naika ati, enija okukola kutya. Enifumya ebhitala bhyani ebhitoto nindanda ebhinene, omwo nimwo nimbika ebhilyo bhani ne ebhinu bhindi.
And he said: This will I do: I will pull down my barns and I will build larger ones; and there I will store ail my produce, and my good things;
19 Nimbilwa omwoyo gwani, “Webhikiye ebhinu bhyafu kwe myaka myafu. Fung'ama, ulye, unywe no kuchecheka.”'
and I will say to my soul: Soul, you have many good things laid up for many years; take your ease, eat, drink, be merry.
20 “Nawe Nyamuanga namubhwila ati, 'Awe omunu omumumu, mungeta ya lelo abhenda obhulame okusoka kwao, mbe ebhinu bhinu wilabhile ebhibha bhyaga?'
But God said to him: Senseless man, this night shall your soul be required of you; and who shall have the things which you have provided?
21 Mbe nikwokutyo jili ku bhuli munu unu ebhikiye imali nasiga okwilabha (okwilosha) kumisango jo Omukama.”
So is he that lays up treasure for him self, and is not rich toward God.
22 Yesu nabhabhwila abheigisibhwa bhaye ati, “Kulwejo enibhabhwila kutya, mwasiga okuyaya ingulu ya obhulame bhweme ati omulya chinuki amo ingulu ye emibhili jemwe ati omufwala chinuki.
And he said to his disciples: For this reason I say to you, Be not anxious for your life, what you shall eat; nor for your body, what you shall put on.
23 Kulwokubha obhulame obhukila ebhilyo, no omubhili ogukila ebhifwalo.
Life is a greater gift than food, and the body, than clothing.
24 Mulole jinyonyi ja mulutumba, jitakulima nolwo jitakugesa. Jitali nanlusika nolwo echitala echo okubhikamo bhinu, nawe Esomwana kajilisha ebhilyo. Emwe mukondele okukili jinyonyi!
Consider the ravens, that they neither sow nor reap; which have neither storehouse nor granary; yet God feeds them: you are of far more value than the birds.
25 Niga unu mwimwe unu katula okwongesha chita chimwi ku bhulame bhwaye?
Which of you, by his anxiety, can add one span to his life?
26 Mbe kalabha mutakutula okukola echinu chitoto changuile, mbe kubhaki okunyakilila agandi ago?
If, therefore, you can not do that which is the least, why are you anxious about the rest?
27 Mulole kutyo amatwasho agamela. Gatakukola milimu nolwo okusuka. Nawe enibhabhwila kutya, nolwo Selemani mwikusho lyaye lyona atafafwibhwe lwa limwi lya amatwasho ganu,
Consider the lilies, how they grow. They toil not, they spin not; yet I say to you, that Solomon in all his glory was not clothed like one of these.
28 ka labha Nyamuanga kafwafya kisi amatwasho ge emwila, ganu lelo galio, ka mutondo nigalaswa mumulilo. Atabhafwafya emwe kukila ago? Emwe abhalikilisha litoto!
If, then, God so clothes the herb of the field, which to-day is, and to-morrow is cast into the oven, will he not much more clothe you, O you of little faith?
29 Musige okunyaka ati omulya chinuki amo ati omunywa chinuki, nolwo mwasiga okubha nolwo okuliyaya.
And seek not what you shall eat, or what you shall drink, and be not in anxious suspense.
30 Kulwokubha amayanga gonna aga muchalo aganyakilila amagambo ago. Esomwana wemwe kamenya nkanikwo omugenda ago.
For all these things the nations of the world seek after; but your Father knows that you have need of these things.
31 Nawe mulonde okwamba obhukama bhwaye, agandi ago omuja okwongesibhwa,
But seek the kingdom of God, and all these things shall be given you in addition.
32 Mwasiga kubhaya emwe liijo litoto, kulwokubha Esomwana akondelewe okubhayana emwe obhukama obhwo.
Fear not, little flock, for it is your Father’s good pleasure to give you the kingdom.
33 Mugushe jimali jemwe muyane abhataka, mwikolele emifuko jinu jitakuwelwa- ebhinu bhya mulwire bhinyantawa, eyo abhefi bhatakulebhelela nolwo amayenje gatakunyamula.
Sell what you have, and be charitable. Make for yourselves purses that do not become old, an unfailing treasure in the heavens, where no thief comes near, and no moth corrupts.
34 Kulwokubha ao ili imali yao niwo no omwoyo gwao ghulibha.
For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.
35 Emyendya jemwe jindela mujibhoye no omushipi, na jitala jemwe jimalilile jibhega nijigendelela okwaka,
Let your loins be girded, and your lamps burning;
36 na mubhe lwa bhanu bhatengejee Omukama webhwe okusoka mubhulegesi, koleleki akakinga no okukonona, bhatule kwo obhwangu okumwigulila omulyango.
and be like men that are waiting for their lord, when he shall return from the wedding; that, when he comes and knocks, they may open for him immediately.
37 Bhana libhando abhakosi bhemilimu, bhanu Lata Bhugenyi alisanga bhatengejee. Ni chimali alibhoya omwenda gwaye omulela kwo omusipi, neya nabheyanja ansi bhalye ebhilyo, namala nabhafulubhendela.
Blessed are those servants whom their lord, when he comes, shall find watching. Verily I say to you, That he will gird himself and make them recline at table, and will come forth and serve them.
38 Labha Lata Bhugenyi akakinga abhanu bhewetuyemo kabhili, nabhasanga bhamaliliye, mbe abhakosi abho abhabhona libhando.
And if he shall come in the second watch, and if he shall come in the third watch, and find them thus, blessed are those servants.
39 Ingulu yago, mumenye na linu, chisanga kanya nyumba amenyele isaa eyo omwifi kejilamo, atakekilisishe inyumba yaye ingililwe.
But know this, that if the master of the house had known at what hour the thief comes, he would have watched, and would not have suffered his house to be broken through.
40 Mbe mubhega mumaliliye kulwokubha ona mutakumenya nikatunguki ako Omwana wa Adamu alisubha.
Be you, therefore, ready also; for at an hour when you think not, the Son of man comes.
41 Petro naika ati, “Lata Bhugenyi, oubhwia eswe bhenyele echijejekanyo bhinu, angu oubhwila bhuli munu?”
Then Peter said to him: Lord, dost them speak this parable to us, or also to all?
42 Omukama nabhabhwila ati, “Ni mugayaki unu amasishe amo owobhwengeso unu lata bhugenyi waye kamutula ingulu ya abhagaya abhandi, koleleki abhagabhile ebhilyo akatungu ko obhwana?
And the Lord said: Who, then, is that faithful and wise steward, whom his lord shall make ruler over his servants, to give them their portion of food at the proper time?
43 Ana libhando omugaya unu alisangwa nakola kutyo alagiliwe.
Blessed is that servant whom his lord, when he comes, shall find so doing.
44 Nichimali enibhabhwila kutya alimutula ingulu ya jimali jaye jona.
Of a truth, I say to you, that he will make him ruler over all that he has.
45 Nawe omugaya oyo akaika mumwoyo gwaye ati, omukulu wani akola okusubha; kulwejo namba okubhuma abhagaya bhechilume na abhechigasi, nio namba okulya, okunywa no okutamila,
But if that servant shall say in his heart, My lord delays his coming, and shall begin to strike the men-servants and the maid-servants, and to eat and to drink, and to be drunk;
46 mbe lata Bhugenyi wo omugaya oyo alija olusiku na akatungu kanu atakumenya, kamutema bhibhala bhibhala namutula amwi na bhanu bhatali no obhwitonde bhwo okwikilishanya.”
the lord of that servant will come in a day in which he looks not for him, and at an hour which he knows not; and will cut him asunder, and appoint him his portion with the unfaithful.
47 Omugaya unu kamenya akakoleye ka lata bugenyi waye, ka nasiga okwilosha nolwo okukola lwakutyo omukulu waye kenda, alibhumwa nsimbo nyafu.
And that servant who knew his lord’s will, but made no preparation, nor did according to his will, shall be beaten with many stripes;
48 Nawe omugaya unu atakumenya akakoleye ko omukulu waye, nawe nakola kutyo ejendibhwa, alibhumwa nsimbo ntoto. Kulwokubha unu ayabhilwe bhyafu, alitongwa bhyafu okusoka kwaye, naunu asigiwe bhyafu kwo kwikilishanya, bhilitongwa bhafu okusoka kwaye.
but he that knew not, and did things worthy of stripes, shall be beaten with few. To whomever much has been given, of him shall much be required; and to whom men have intrusted much, of him will they ask the more.
49 Mbe nijile okwakya omulilo muchalo, na enenda muno gubhe gwamalile okwaka!
I have come to send fire on the earth; and how greatly do I wish that it were already kindled!
50 Nawe nili nobhubhatijo obhwo kubhatijibhwa, na nisurumbaye okukingila ao bhwakakumile!
I have an immersion with which to be immersed, and how distressed I am till it be accomplished!
51 Enibhusha, umwiganilisha ati nijile okuleta omulembe muchalo? Pai, Enibhwabhila ati niletele obhutagani.
Do you think that I have come to give peace in the earth? I toll you, No; but rather dissension.
52 Kwambila olyanu nokugendelela bhanu bhatanu munyumba imwi ousanga bhatasikene, ahasatu bhali lwebhwe na abhabhili bhali lwebhwe, abhabhili bhatasikene na abhasatu.
For from this time forth there shall be five in one house at variance, three with two, and two with three.
53 Bhalitagana, lata alitasikana no Omwana waye, no omwana alitasikana nesemwene, nyilamwene alitasikana no omuasha, na omuasha alibhayata atasikene na nyilamwene, Maibhuko alitasikana no omukamwana no omukamwana alitasikana na nyabhuko waye.
The father shall be at variance with the son, and the son with the father; the mother with the daughter, and the daughter with the mother; the mother-in-law with her daughter-in-law, and the daughter-in-law with her mother-in-law.
54 Yesu nabhwila na liijo ati, “Mukalola amele nigesunga ebhugwa, nimwaika ati 'akatungu kaing'ubha kakinga,' ka nikwo kutyo ejibha.
And he said also to the multitudes: When you see the cloud rising from the west, you immediately say, There comes a shower: and so it is.
55 Komuyaga gwa amalimbe gukayemba, nimwaika ati, 'Eija okubhayo imbita nyafu,' ka nikwo kutyo ejibha.
And when the south wind blows, you say, There will be heat: and it comes to pass.
56 Emwe abhanafiki, omutula okugajula kutyo echalo no olutumba ebhibhonekana mumeso, nawe ejibha kutiki mutakumenya okugajula akatungu kaoli anu?
Hypocrites, you know how to judge of the face of the earth, and of the heavens; but how is it that you do not judge of this time?
57 Kubhaki bhuli munu abhule okusombola linu lilikisi kumwene na akalikola akatungu kanu ali nomwanya gwo kukola kutyo?
And why even of yourselves do you not judge what is right?
58 Kulwa insonga mukagenda naunu omusitakana imbele yo omulamusi, ikomesha mungwane naunu omusitakana nage muchali munjila ataja okusila kumulamusi, no omulamusi akakusila kumukulu we emilimu, no omukulu we emilimu akakulasa mulunyolo.
For when you are going with your opponent at law to the ruler, while you are on the way, endeavor to be delivered from him, lest he drag you to the judge, and the judge deliver you to the collector, and the collector throw you into prison.
59 Enaika ati, utakusokamo omwo okukingila uliye isenti yokumalisha.
I say to you, You shall not come out thence, till you have paid the very last mite.
