< 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”
Meanwhile, when a crowd of many thousands had gathered together, so much so that they trampled on each other, he began to tell his disciples first of all, "Beware of the yeast of the Pharisees, which is hypocrisy.
2 Na pibelepi kujha ni siri gha jhifigheme ambajho jhibeta lepi kufunulibhwa, wala lijambo lya lifighibhu ambalyo libelepi kumanyikana.
But there is nothing covered up, that will not be revealed, nor hidden, that will not be known.
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.
Therefore whatever you have said in the darkness will be heard in the light. What you have spoken in the ear in the inner chambers will be proclaimed on the housetops.
4 Nikabhajobhela marafiki zangu, musibhatili bhala bhabhikoma mb'ele na kisha bhajhelepi ni khenu khenge kya kukheta,
"I tell you, my friends, do not be afraid of those who kill the body, and after that have no more that they can do.
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 warn you whom you should fear. Fear him, who after he has killed, has power to cast into hell. Yes, I tell you, fear 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 sold for two assaria coins? Not one of them is forgotten by God.
7 Lakini mumanyayi kujha, njwili sya mitu ghinu ghibhalangibhu. Msitili muenga mwebha thamani mbaha kuliko shomoro bhingi.
But the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Therefore do not be afraid. You are of more value than many sparrows.
8 Nikabhajobhela, jhejhioha jha akanikiri nene mbele sya bhanu, Mwana ghwa Adamu ibeta kun'kiri mbele sya malaika bha K'yara.
"I tell you, everyone who confesses me before people, him will the Son of Man also confess before the angels of God;
9 Lakini jhejhioha jhaibeta kunibela mbele sya bhanu, ni muene ibetakubelibhwa mbele jha malaika bha K'yara.
but the one who denies me in the presence of people will be denied in the presence of the angels of God.
10 Jhejhioha jhaibeta kujobha lilobhi linofu lepi kwa mwana ghwa Adamu, ibetakusamehebhwa, lakini jhejhioha jhaibekun'kufuru Roho mtakatifu, ibetalepi kusamehebhwa.
Everyone who speaks a word against the Son of Man will be forgiven, but those who blaspheme against the Holy Spirit will not be forgiven.
11 Pabhibeta kubhapeleka mbele sya bhabhaha bha masinagogi, bhatawala ni bhenye mamlaka, Musitili juu ni namna jha kulongela katika kwitetela au kiki kyamwibeta kujobha,
When they bring you before the synagogues, the rulers, and the authorities, do not be anxious how or what you will answer, or what you will say;
12 Kwa kujha Roho mtakatifu ibetakubhafundisya kya mwibeta kujobha kwa wakati obhu.”
for the Holy Spirit will teach you in that same hour what you must say."
13 Munu mmonga pa kusanyiku akan'jobhela, “Mwalimu, n'jobhelayi ndongo bhangu anigabhilayi sehemu jha urithi bhwangu.”
And someone in the crowd said to him, "Teacher, tell my brother to divide the inheritance with me."
14 Yesu akan'jibu, niani anibhekili kujha mwamuzi ni mpatanishi kati jha muenga?
But he said to him, "Man, who made me a judge or an arbitrator over you?"
15 Ndipo akabhajobhela, mkihadhariajhi ni khila namna jha tamaa, kwandabha uzima bhwa munu ujhelepi kwa fenu fya ajhe nafu.”
He said to them, "Beware. Keep yourselves from all covetousness, for a man's life does not consist of the abundance of the things which he possesses."
16 Yes akabhajobhela mfano, akajobha, N'gonda ghwa munu mmonga tajiri ghwahoguili nesu,
He spoke a parable to them, saying, "The ground of a certain rich man brought forth abundantly.
17 na akakikota mugati mwa muene, akajobha nibetaketabhuli kwani nijhelepi ni sehemu jha kubheka mazao ghangu?
He reasoned within himself, saying, 'What will I do, because I do not have room to store my crops?'
18 Akajobha, nibetakheta naha. Nibetakubomola ghala sya jhoni sidebe ni kujhenga jhibhaha nikuhifadhi mazao gha nene ghoha ni fenu fenge.
He said, 'This is what I will do. I will pull down my barns, and build bigger ones, and there I will store 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.”
I will tell my soul, "Soul, you have many goods laid up for many years. Take your ease, eat, drink, be merry."'
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 your soul is required of you. The things which you have prepared—whose will they be?'
21 Ndivyo kyajhibekujha kwa khila munu jhaikibhekela mali na sio kwitayarisya kwandabha jha Bwana.
So is he who lays up treasure for himself, and is not rich toward 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
He said to his disciples, "Therefore I tell you, do not be anxious for your life, what you will eat, nor yet for your body, what you will wear.
23 Kwa kuwa maisha ndo zaidi jha kyakulya, ni mb'ele ndo zaidi jha mavazi.
Life is more than food, and the body is more than 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!
Consider the ravens: they do not sow, they do not reap, they have no warehouse or barn, and God feeds them. How much more valuable are you than birds.
25 Jholekhu kati jha muenga akakisumbulayi ibhwesya kujhongesya dhiraa jhimonga katika maisha gha muene?
Which of you by being anxious can add a cubit to his height?
26 Ikajhiajhi mwibhwesya lepi kuketa naha ekhu khenu kidusu kyepesi kwandajha kiki kusumbukila aghu ghangi?
If then you are not able to do even the least things, why are you anxious 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,
Consider the lilies, how they grow. They do not toil, neither do they spin; yet I tell you, even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed 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 this is how God clothes the grass in the field, which today exists, and tomorrow is cast into the oven, how much more will he clothe you, O you of little faith?
29 Msisumbukili juu jha kujha mwibeta kulya kiki au mwibeta kunywa kiki, bhwala musijhi ni hofu.
Do not seek what you will eat or what you will drink; neither be anxious.
30 Kwakujha Mataifa ghoha gha dunia ghisumbukila mambo agha. Ni Dadi jhinu amanyili kujha mwilonda aghu.
For the nations of the world seek after all of these things, but your Father knows that you need these things.
31 Lakini mulondayi ufalme bhwa muene hoti, ni aghu ghangi mwibeta kuzidishibhwa,
But seek his Kingdom, and these things will be added to you.
32 Musitili muenga likundi lidebe, kwandabha Dadi jhinu ohobhwiki kubhap'ela muenga ufalme obhu.
Do not be afraid, 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.
Sell that which you have, and give gifts to the needy. Make for yourselves purses which do not grow old, a treasure in the heavens that does not fail, where no thief approaches, neither moth destroys.
34 Kwakujha pajhe ni hazina jha jhobhi, ndipo ni roho jha jhobhi pajhibekujha.
For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.
35 Nghobho sya jhomu sitali sijhelayi sikongibhu kwa n'kanda, ni taa sya jhomu sihakikisibhwayi kujha sijhendelela kujhaka,
"Let your waist be girded and your lamps 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.
Be like people watching for their lord, when he returns from the marriage feast; that, when he comes and knocks, they may immediately open to him.
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.
Blessed are those servants, whom the lord will find watching when he comes. Truly I tell you, that he will dress himself, and make them recline, and will come and serve them.
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 watch, or even in the third, and finds them so, blessed are they.
39 Zaidi jha aghu, mmanyayi ele, kama Bwana n'kolo nyumba ngaajhimanyi saa ambajho mmeji ihida, ngaanihusuililepi nyumba jha muene jhibomolibhwayi.
But know this, that if the master of the house had known in what hour the thief was coming, he would have watched and not have allowed his house to be broken into.
40 Mujhiajhi tayari kwani mumanyilepi ndo wakati gani Mwana ghwa Adamu ibeta kerebhuka.
Therefore be ready also, for the Son of Man is coming in an hour that you do not expect him."
41 Petro akajobha, “Bwana, ukatujobhela tete twebhene mifano ejhe, au ukan'jobhela khila munu?
And Peter said, "Lord, are you telling this parable to us, or to everyone?"
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?
The Lord said, "Who then is the faithful and wise steward, whom his lord will set over his household, to give them their portion of food at the right time?
43 Abarikibhu mtumishi jhola, ambajhe Bwana ghwake akahidajhi ibeta kun'kolela ibhomba ghala gha alaghisibhu.
Blessed is that servant whom his lord will find doing so when he comes.
44 Hakika nikabhajobhela muenga jha kujha ibeta kumbeka panani pa mali jha muene jhioha.
Truly I tell you, that he will set him over all that he has.
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 in his heart, 'My lord delays his coming,' and begins to beat the menservants and the maidservants, and to eat and drink, and to be drunk,
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'
then the lord of that servant will come in a day when he is not expecting him, and in an hour that he does not know, and will cut him in two, and place his portion with the unfaithful.
47 Mtumishi, jhaamanyili mapenzi gha Bwana ghwa muene, ni muene akakiandele lepi wala aketili lepi kinofu ni mapenzi gha muene ibetakutobhibhwa fiboko fimehele.
That servant, who knew his lord's will, and did not prepare, nor do what he wanted, will be beaten with many stripes,
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 did not know, and did things worthy of stripes, will be beaten with few stripes. To whomever much is given, of him will much be required; and to whom much was entrusted, of him more will be asked.
49 Nihidili kubhwasya muoto duniani, na ninoghele ujhelayi umalikujhaka,
"I came to throw fire on the earth. I wish it were already kindled.
50 Lakini nijheni ubatizo ambabho nibetakubatisibhwa na nijhe ni huzuni mpaka pa wibeta kukamilika!
But I have a baptism to be baptized with, and how distressed I am until it is accomplished.
51 Je mwifikiri nihidili kuleta amani duniani? Lepi, nikabhajobhela, badala jhiake niletili mgawanyiku.
Do you think that I have come to give peace in the earth? I tell you, no, but rather 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 now on, there will be five in one house divided, 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 divided, father against son, and son against father; mother against daughter, and daughter against her mother; mother-in-law against her daughter-in-law, and daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law."
54 Yesu akajhe akabhajobhela makutano kabhele, “Mara pa mwibhona mabhengu ghihomela magharibi, mwijobha nyakati sya fula sifikili; na ndo kya jhijha,
He said to the crowds also, "When you see a cloud rising from the west, immediately you say, 'A shower is coming,' and so it happens.
55 Ni mpongo ghwa kusini ukabhumayi, mwijobha, pibeta kujha ni joto kali, na ndo kya jhijha.
When a south wind blows, you say, 'There will be a scorching heat,' and it happens.
56 Enyi bhanafiki, mwibhwesya kutafsiri mwonekano bhwa nchi ni anga, lakini jhijha bhuli mwisindwa kutafsiri wakati bhwa ujhele?
Hypocrites. You know how to interpret the appearance of the earth and the sky, but why do you not know how to interpret this time?
57 Kwandajha kiki khila mmonga bhinu. asipambanuli lyalijhele sahihi kwa muene wakati ambapo angali ajhe ni nafasi jha kubhomba aghu?
Why do you not judge for yourselves 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 when you are going with your adversary before the magistrate, try diligently on the way to be released from him, lest perhaps he drag you to the judge, and the judge deliver you to the officer, and the officer throw you into prison.
59 Nikujobhela, wibetalepi kupita okhu hadi ulepayi mpaka senti jha mwishu.
I tell you, you will by no means get out of there, until you have paid the very last penny."
