Luka 12
1 Kwa wakati obhu, maelfu mingi gha bhanu bhakusanyiki pamonga kiasi kya kujhanda kukanyana, akajhanda kujobha ni bhanafunzi bha muene hoti, “Mukihadhariajhi ni chachu jha Mafarisayo ambajho ndo unafiki”
At that time, when thousands of the people had come together, in such numbers that they were crushing one another, he said first to his disciples, Have nothing to do with the leaven of the Pharisees, which is deceit.
2 Na pibelepi kujha ni siri gha jhifigheme ambajho jhibeta lepi kufunulibhwa, wala lijambo lya lifighibhu ambalyo libelepi kumanyikana.
But nothing is covered up, which will not come to light, or secret, which will not be made clear.
3 Na lyolyoha lyamwibeta kujobha mu ngisi libetapelekibhwa mu mwanga. Na ghoghoha gha mghajobhili mu mbolokhoto mu fichumba fyenu fya futendibhu ghibeta kutangasibhwa panani pa nyumba.
So, whatever you have said in the dark, will come to men's hearing in the light, and what you have said secretly inside the house, will be made public from the house-tops.
4 Nikabhajobhela marafiki zangu, musibhatili bhala bhabhikoma mb'ele na kisha bhajhelepi ni khenu khenge kya kukheta,
And I say to you, my friends, Have no fear of those who may put the body to death, and are able to do no more than that.
5 Lakini nikabhaonya jhamwibeta kuntila. Muntilayi jhola ambajhe baada jha kuhoma, ajheni mamlaka gha kutagha jehanamu. Ena, nikabhajobhela muenga muntilayi ojho. (Geenna g1067)
But I will make clear to you of whom you are to be in fear: of him who after death has power to send you to hell; yes, truly I say, Have fear of him. (Geenna g1067)
6 Je shomoro bhahanu bhigolesibhwa lepi kwa sarafu sibhele? hata hivyo ajhelepi hata mmonga bhabhi jhaibeta kujhebhelelibhwa palongolo pa K'yara.
Are not five sparrows given in exchange for two farthings? and God has every one of them in mind.
7 Lakini mumanyayi kujha, njwili sya mitu ghinu ghibhalangibhu. Msitili muenga mwebha thamani mbaha kuliko shomoro bhingi.
But even the hairs of your head are numbered. Have no fear: you are of more value than a flock of sparrows.
8 Nikabhajobhela, jhejhioha jha akanikiri nene mbele sya bhanu, Mwana ghwa Adamu ibeta kun'kiri mbele sya malaika bha K'yara.
And I say to you that to everyone who gives witness to me before men, the Son of man will give witness before the angels of God.
9 Lakini jhejhioha jhaibeta kunibela mbele sya bhanu, ni muene ibetakubelibhwa mbele jha malaika bha K'yara.
But if anyone says before men that he has no knowledge of me, I will say that I have no knowledge of him before the angels of God.
10 Jhejhioha jhaibeta kujobha lilobhi linofu lepi kwa mwana ghwa Adamu, ibetakusamehebhwa, lakini jhejhioha jhaibekun'kufuru Roho mtakatifu, ibetalepi kusamehebhwa.
And if anyone says a word against the Son of man, he will have forgiveness: but for him who says evil words against the Holy Spirit, there will be no forgiveness.
11 Pabhibeta kubhapeleka mbele sya bhabhaha bha masinagogi, bhatawala ni bhenye mamlaka, Musitili juu ni namna jha kulongela katika kwitetela au kiki kyamwibeta kujobha,
And when they take you before the Synagogues and the authorities and the rulers, take no thought about what answers you will give, or what you will say:
12 Kwa kujha Roho mtakatifu ibetakubhafundisya kya mwibeta kujobha kwa wakati obhu.”
For the Holy Spirit will make clear to you in that very hour what to say.
13 Munu mmonga pa kusanyiku akan'jobhela, “Mwalimu, n'jobhelayi ndongo bhangu anigabhilayi sehemu jha urithi bhwangu.”
And one of the people said to him, Master, give an order to my brother to make division of the heritage with me.
14 Yesu akan'jibu, niani anibhekili kujha mwamuzi ni mpatanishi kati jha muenga?
But he said, Man, who made me a judge or a maker of decisions for you?
15 Ndipo akabhajobhela, mkihadhariajhi ni khila namna jha tamaa, kwandabha uzima bhwa munu ujhelepi kwa fenu fya ajhe nafu.”
And he said to them, Take care to keep yourselves free from the desire for property; for a man's life is not made up of the number of things which he has.
16 Yes akabhajobhela mfano, akajobha, N'gonda ghwa munu mmonga tajiri ghwahoguili nesu,
And he said to them, in a story, The land of a certain man of great wealth was very fertile:
17 na akakikota mugati mwa muene, akajobha nibetaketabhuli kwani nijhelepi ni sehemu jha kubheka mazao ghangu?
And he said to himself, What is to be done? for I have no place in which to put all my fruit.
18 Akajobha, nibetakheta naha. Nibetakubomola ghala sya jhoni sidebe ni kujhenga jhibhaha nikuhifadhi mazao gha nene ghoha ni fenu fenge.
And he said, This I will do: I will take down my store-houses and make greater ones, and there I will put all my grain and my goods.
19 Nibetakujobhela nafsi jha nene, “Nafsi, ukibhakili akiba jha fenu fingi kwa miaka ghimehele. P'omosekayi, uliayi, unyuajhi ni kustarehe.”
And I will say to my soul, Soul, you have a great amount of goods in store, enough for a number of years; be at rest, take food and wine and be happy.
20 Lakini K'yara akabhajobhela, ebhe munu mpumbafu, kiru kya lelu wilonda Roho kuhoma kwa bhebhe ni fenu fyoha fye ufiandele fibetakujha fya kiki?
But God said to him, You foolish one, tonight I will take your soul from you, and who then will be the owner of all the things which you have got together?
21 Ndivyo kyajhibekujha kwa khila munu jhaikibhekela mali na sio kwitayarisya kwandabha jha Bwana.
So that is what comes to the man who gets wealth for himself, and has not wealth in the eyes of God.
22 Yesu akabhajobhela bhanafunzi bha muene, kwa hiyo nikabhajobhela musihofu juu jha maisha gha jhomu jha kujha mwibeta kulya kiki au juu jha mibhele ghya jhomu jha kujha mwibeta kufuala kiki
And he said to his disciples, For this reason I say to you, Take no thought for your life, about what food you will take, or for your body, how it may be clothed.
23 Kwa kuwa maisha ndo zaidi jha kyakulya, ni mb'ele ndo zaidi jha mavazi.
Is not life more than food, and the body than its clothing?
24 Mulangayi fidege fya anga, bhilema lepi bhwala kuvuna. Bhajhelepi ni kichumba bhwala ghala lya kubhekela, lakini Dadi jhinu akabhalasya. Muenga bora lepi kuliko fidege!
Give thought to the ravens; they do not put seeds into the earth, or get together grain; they have no store-houses or buildings; and God gives them their food: of how much greater value are you than the birds!
25 Jholekhu kati jha muenga akakisumbulayi ibhwesya kujhongesya dhiraa jhimonga katika maisha gha muene?
And which of you by taking thought is able to make himself any taller?
26 Ikajhiajhi mwibhwesya lepi kuketa naha ekhu khenu kidusu kyepesi kwandajha kiki kusumbukila aghu ghangi?
If, then, you are not able to do even that which is least, why are you troubled about the rest?
27 Mulangayi maua -kyaghimele. Ghibhomba lepi mbombo wala kusokota. Lakini nikabhajobhela, hata Sulemani mu utukufu bhwa muene bhoha afwekibhu lepi kama mmonga ghwa agha,
Give thought to the flowers: they do no work, they make no thread; and still I say to you, Even Solomon, in all his glory, was not clothed like one of these.
28 Kama K'yara akaghafueka kinofu mat'ondo ghakondeni, ambagho lelu ghajhele, ni kilabhu ghitaghibhwa mu muoto. Je si nesu akabhafueka muenga? mwebha imani haba!
But if God gives such clothing to the grass in the field, which today is living, and tomorrow will be burned in the oven, how much more will he give clothing to you, O men of little faith?
29 Msisumbukili juu jha kujha mwibeta kulya kiki au mwibeta kunywa kiki, bhwala musijhi ni hofu.
And do not give overmuch thought to your food and drink, and let not your mind be full of doubts.
30 Kwakujha Mataifa ghoha gha dunia ghisumbukila mambo agha. Ni Dadi jhinu amanyili kujha mwilonda aghu.
For the nations of the world go in search of all these things: but your Father has knowledge that you have need of them.
31 Lakini mulondayi ufalme bhwa muene hoti, ni aghu ghangi mwibeta kuzidishibhwa,
But let your chief care be for his kingdom, and these other things will be given to you in addition.
32 Musitili muenga likundi lidebe, kwandabha Dadi jhinu ohobhwiki kubhap'ela muenga ufalme obhu.
Have no fear, little flock, for it is your Father's good pleasure to give you the kingdom.
33 Muhemelesiajhi mali sya muenga ni mali mubhapelayi maskini, mukifanyilayi mifuko ghyaghushibhwa lepi hazina jha kumbinguni jhajhimalika lepi, sehemu ambajho bhaheji bhibeta lepi kukaribila wala nondo jhibeta lepi kuharibu.
Give what property you have in exchange for money, and give the money to the poor; make for yourselves money-bags which will not get old, wealth stored up in heaven which will be yours for ever, where thieves will not come nor worms put it to destruction.
34 Kwakujha pajhe ni hazina jha jhobhi, ndipo ni roho jha jhobhi pajhibekujha.
For where your wealth is, there will your heart be.
35 Nghobho sya jhomu sitali sijhelayi sikongibhu kwa n'kanda, ni taa sya jhomu sihakikisibhwayi kujha sijhendelela kujhaka,
Be ready, dressed as for a journey, with your lights burning.
36 na mujhelayi kama bhanu bhabhakandendela Bwana ghwa bhene kuhomela mu sherehe jha harusi, ili kwamba ahidayi ni kupiga hodi, bhibeta kubhwesya kun'dendulila ndiangu kwa haraka.
And be like men who are looking for their lord, when he comes back from the bride-feast; so that when he comes to the door, it will be open to him quickly.
37 Bhabarikibhu bhala bhatumishi, ambabho Bwana ibeta kubhekolela mihu. Hakika ibeta kukonga nghobhu jha muene jhitali kwa n'kanda, kisha ibeta kubhatamika pasi kwa kyakulya, Kisha kubhahudumila.
Happy are those servants who are watching when the lord comes; truly I say to you, he will make himself their servant and, placing them at the table, he will come out and give them food.
38 Kama Bwana ibeta kuhida kwa zamu jha pili jha ulinzi jha pakiru, au zamu jha tatu jha ulinzi, nu kubhakolela bhajhe tayari, ibeta kujha heri kwa abhu bhatumishi.
And if he comes in the second division of the night or in the third, and they are watching for him, happy are those servants.
39 Zaidi jha aghu, mmanyayi ele, kama Bwana n'kolo nyumba ngaajhimanyi saa ambajho mmeji ihida, ngaanihusuililepi nyumba jha muene jhibomolibhwayi.
But be certain of this, that if the master of the house had had knowledge of the time when the thief was coming, he would have been watching, and would not have let his house be broken into.
40 Mujhiajhi tayari kwani mumanyilepi ndo wakati gani Mwana ghwa Adamu ibeta kerebhuka.
So be ready: for the Son of man is coming at a time when you are not looking for him.
41 Petro akajobha, “Bwana, ukatujobhela tete twebhene mifano ejhe, au ukan'jobhela khila munu?
And Peter said to him, Lord, are these words said to us only, or to all men?
42 Bwana akabhajobhela, “Niani mtumwa mwaminifu au mwenye hekima ambaye Bwana ghwa muene ibeta kumbeka panani pa bhatumishi bhangi, ili abhag'abhilayi kyakulya kwa wakati muafaka?
And the Lord said, Who then is the wise and responsible servant whom his lord will put in control of his family, to give them their food at the right time?
43 Abarikibhu mtumishi jhola, ambajhe Bwana ghwake akahidajhi ibeta kun'kolela ibhomba ghala gha alaghisibhu.
Happy is that servant who, when his lord comes, is doing so.
44 Hakika nikabhajobhela muenga jha kujha ibeta kumbeka panani pa mali jha muene jhioha.
Truly I say to you, he will put him in control of all his goods.
45 Lakini mtumishi jhola akajobha mu muoyo ghwa muene, “bwana ikabhela kukerebhuka; hivyo akajhanda kubhatobha bhala bhatumishi bha kigosi ni kidala, kisha akajhanda kulya, kunywa ni kugala,
But if that servant says to himself, My lord is a long time coming; and goes about giving blows to the men-servants and the women-servants, feasting and taking overmuch wine;
46 bwana ghwa muene mtumwa jhola ibeta kuhida ligono lya ategemeleghe lepi ni saa jhaajhimanyilepi, ni muene ibeta kun'dumula fipandi ni kumbeka sehemu jhimonga ni bhabhabelikujha bhaaminifu'
The lord of that servant will come at a time when he is not looking for him, and at an hour when he is not ready for him, and he will have him cut in two and will give him his part in the fate of those who have no faith;
47 Mtumishi, jhaamanyili mapenzi gha Bwana ghwa muene, ni muene akakiandele lepi wala aketili lepi kinofu ni mapenzi gha muene ibetakutobhibhwa fiboko fimehele.
And the servant who had knowledge of his lord's desires and was not ready for him and did not do as he was ordered, will be given a great number of blows;
48 Lakini mtumishi jhaamanyilepi mapenzi gha bwana ghwa muene, na adhabu, ibeta kutobhibhwa fiboko fidebe. Kwa kujha muene jha apelibhu fimehele, idaibhwa kuhoma kwa muene, ni muene jhaaminibhu kwa fimehele, kwa muene fibetakudaibhwa fimehele zaidi.
But he who, without knowledge, did things for which punishment is given, will get only a small number of blows. The man to whom much is given, will have to give much; if much is given into his care, of him more will be requested.
49 Nihidili kubhwasya muoto duniani, na ninoghele ujhelayi umalikujhaka,
I came to send a fire on the earth, and it may even now have been lighted.
50 Lakini nijheni ubatizo ambabho nibetakubatisibhwa na nijhe ni huzuni mpaka pa wibeta kukamilika!
But there is a baptism which I have to undergo; and how am I kept back till it is complete!
51 Je mwifikiri nihidili kuleta amani duniani? Lepi, nikabhajobhela, badala jhiake niletili mgawanyiku.
Is it your opinion that I have come to give peace on earth? I say to you, No, but division:
52 kuh'omela henu ni kujhendelela kubetakujha ni bhanu bhahanu mu nyumba jhimonga bhagawanyiki, na bhadatu bhibetakujha kinyume ni bhabhele bhibetakujha kinyume ni bhadatu.
For from this time, a family of five in one house will be on opposite sides, three against two and two against three.
53 Bhibeta kugabhwanyika, Dadi ibetakujha kinyume ni mwanabhe ni ibetakujha kinyume ni Dadijhe, mabhu ibetakujha kinyume ni mwali munu ni mwali munu ibetakujha kinyume ni nyinamunu, Mama mkwe ibetakujha kinyume ni n'kwibhi ni nkwibhi ibeta kujha kinyume ni Mama mkwe ghu muene.
They will be at war, the father against his son, and the son against his father; mother against daughter, and daughter against mother; mother-in-law against daughter-in-law, and daughter-in-law against mother-in-law.
54 Yesu akajhe akabhajobhela makutano kabhele, “Mara pa mwibhona mabhengu ghihomela magharibi, mwijobha nyakati sya fula sifikili; na ndo kya jhijha,
Then he said to the people, When you see a cloud coming up in the west, straight away you say, There will be rain; and so it is.
55 Ni mpongo ghwa kusini ukabhumayi, mwijobha, pibeta kujha ni joto kali, na ndo kya jhijha.
And when you see a south wind blowing, you say, There will be heat; and so it is.
56 Enyi bhanafiki, mwibhwesya kutafsiri mwonekano bhwa nchi ni anga, lakini jhijha bhuli mwisindwa kutafsiri wakati bhwa ujhele?
O false ones! the face of the earth and the heaven is clear to you; how is it that the signs of these times are not as clear to you?
57 Kwandajha kiki khila mmonga bhinu. asipambanuli lyalijhele sahihi kwa muene wakati ambapo angali ajhe ni nafasi jha kubhomba aghu?
And why are you, in your hearts, unable to be judges of what is right?
58 Ndabha mkalotayi ni mshitaki ghwa jhobhi pa hakimu, kitahidiajhi kupatana ni mshitaki ghwa jhobhi mugati mwako na munjela asije akakupeleka kwa hakimu, ni hakimu kulongosya kwa ofisa, ni ofisa kusopa mu ligereza.
For if anyone has a cause at law against you, and you are going with him before the ruler, make an attempt, on the way, to come to an agreement with him, for if you do not, he may take you before the judge and the judge will give you up to the police, and they will put you in prison.
59 Nikujobhela, wibetalepi kupita okhu hadi ulepayi mpaka senti jha mwishu.
I say to you, You will not come out of it till you have made payment to the very last farthing.
