Luka 12
1 Munako zana, chikiti chavantu chibena hamwina, mbwita nibalilyata jo bungi, chatanga kuwamba kuva rutwana bakwe, Mutokomere mulungo wava Farisi, iri kuliha
In the mean time, when there were gathered together an innumerable multitude of people, insomuch that they trode one upon another, he began to say unto his disciples first of all, Beware ye of the leaven of the Pharisees, which is hypocrisy.
2 Kono kakwina chinchinte, chete nichi kanwe kwi zibahazwa,
For there is nothing covered, that shall not be revealed; neither hid, that shall not be known.
3 Cwale chose cimu va wambi mwififi kachi zibahazwe mwiseli, mi chimubali kushovota muma ntwi kachi huwerezwe hakantungandi ke zuvo.
Therefore whatsoever ye have spoken in darkness shall be heard in the light; and that which ye have spoken in the ear in closets shall be proclaimed upon the housetops.
4 Ni wamba kwenu balikani, kanji muntiyi behaya mubili, kuzwa ho kavena chimwi chiva ola kupanga,
And I say unto you my friends, Be not afraid of them that kill the body, and after that have no more that they can do.
5 Kono me ni mikalimera kuamana neni umowola kutiya. Mutiye yenke uzo Hamana kwi haya, wina ziho zo kutumina mwi here, Eye, Ni miwambira, mumutiye. (Geenna g1067)
But I will forewarn you whom ye shall fear: Fear him, which after he hath killed hath power to cast into hell; yea, I say unto you, Fear him. (Geenna g1067)
6 Kena kuti tuzuni tukuma he yanza limwina tu uziwa hetenko i likana tukoviri to Vere? Kono nanganti konke kutuli kase hupulwa kweIreza.
Are not five sparrows sold for two farthings, and not one of them is forgotten before God?
7 Kono nangati i mpalo ye nsunki nzenu ivalitwe, Kanji mutiyi. Mwina butokwa kuhita tuzuni tungi.
But even the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Fear not therefore: ye are of more value than many sparrows.
8 Ni wamba kwenu, yense yo niwamba havusu bwa bantu, Mwana u muntu kaka muwambe naye habusu bwa mañiloyi e Ireza.
Also I say unto you, Whosoever shall confess me before men, him shall the Son of man also confess before the angels of God:
9 kono nyense yo nisampula havusu bwa Vvantu kaka sampulwe havunsu bwa mañiloyi e Reza.
But he that denieth me before men shall be denied before the angels of God.
10 Yense yo wamba linzwi ivilala kuamana ni mwana wo Muntu, ka wonderwe awo mazwi, kono kozo yo wamba vuvilala kuamana ni Luhuho lu Njolola, kasana a wonderwe.
And whosoever shall speak a word against the Son of man, it shall be forgiven him: but unto him that blasphemeth against the Holy Ghost it shall not be forgiven.
11 Hasana kava mi lete havusu bwa masinangonge, va yendisi, ni vena ha muvuso, kanji ni muvireri kuamana nimwete ni mwi tavire ku amana ni kulizimanina, kamba chete ni muwambe,
And when they bring you unto the synagogues, and [unto] magistrates, and powers, take ye no thought how or what thing ye shall answer, or what ye shall say:
12 kakuli Luhuho lu Njolola kalumi ka lumi lute mweyo nako chizi chi muswanera kuwamba.
For the Holy Ghost shall teach you in the same hour what ye ought to say.
13 Linu zumwi mukati kechisi cha cho kwali, “Muruti, wambire mukulwangu kuti a liyavire chifumu chavayoli name.”
And one of the company said unto him, Master, speak to my brother, that he divide the inheritance with me.
14 Jesu cha kwa li, “Mukwame, Jeni wani vika mu atuli kamba muzimanini hakati kenu?”
And he said unto him, Man, who made me a judge or a divider over you?
15 Mi chati kuvali muli tokomere kobona kuti mulizwisa ku takazo yonse yomuuna, kakuti vuhalpo vo muntu kabwina vulyo hachi fumu chali kunganize muntu.”
And he said unto them, Take heed, and beware of covetousness: for a man’s life consisteth not in the abundance of the things which he possesseth.
16 Linu Jesu chava wambira i nguli, ni kucho Iuwa lo mukwame yavali kufumite, luvali kuvikite ahulu,
And he spake a parable unto them, saying, The ground of a certain rich man brought forth plentifully:
17 mi chali wambira ni kucho, chizi chete ni pange kakuli kanina chiviko cho kuvika zilyo zina lima?
And he thought within himself, saying, What shall I do, because I have no room where to bestow my fruits?
18 Cha wamba, í chi jichona chete ni pange. Mu ni wise hansi zishente zangu ni kuzaka zikando ahulku, umo mwete ni vinke vuhenke bwangu vonse ni zimwi zimera zete ni sinze.
And he said, This will I do: I will pull down my barns, and build greater; and there will I bestow all my fruits and my goods.
19 Muni wambe ku luhuho lwangu, “luhuho, wina zilyo zingi zisizitwe zonso seberise zirimo zingi. Pumule hande, lye, nwe, unsese.”
And I will say to my soul, Soul, thou hast much goods laid up for many years; take thine ease, eat, drink, [and] be merry.
20 Kono Ireza cha cho kwali, 'Chihole cho mukwame, masiku a nsunu luhuho lwako luhindiwa kwanko, mi nzintu ziwa lukisa, muzive zani?'
But God said unto him, [Thou] fool, this night thy soul shall be required of thee: then whose shall those things be, which thou hast provided?
21 China mwe kalire muntu yoli kunganyiza chifumu kwali mi kafumite havusu bwe Ireza.”
So [is] he that layeth up treasure for himself, and is not rich toward God.
22 Jesu cha wamba kuva lutwana bakwe, “Cwale he nicho kwenu, kanji muivireri kuamana ni vuhalo bwenu - chizi chese mulye, kamba kuyana nizo mubiri wenu - chinzi chete muzwate.
And he said unto his disciples, Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat; neither for the body, what ye shall put on.
23 Kakuti vuhalo bwina butokwa kuhita zilyo, mi muviri wina butokwa kuhita zizwato.
The life is more than meat, and the body [is more] than raiment.
24 Mulemuhe ma ñwarara, kuti kava byali kamba kusiza. Kazina zivinko kamba zishete, kono Ireza uzilelra. Muvo vutokwa vule kuhita zizuni!
Consider the ravens: for they neither sow nor reap; which neither have storehouse nor barn; and God feedeth them: how much more are ye better than the fowls?
25 Mi jeni kwenu choku virera u wola kuyekeza i zuva kuvuhalo bwakwe?
And which of you with taking thought can add to his stature one cubit?
26 Cwale haiva kamu oli kupanga nanga nti chitu chinini, chinzi hamu virera kuamana ni nzonse?
If ye then be not able to do that thing which is least, why take ye thought for the rest?
27 Mulemuhe tuyanga yanga mutumenena - zikula vule. Kazi sevezi, kamba kuhosa. Kono ni cho kwenu, nanga Salumoni mwi kanya yakwe kenba aba zwatikiwa uvu ji limwi.
Consider the lilies how they grow: they toil not, they spin not; and yet I say unto you, that Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these.
28 Haiva Iraza uzwatika lyani lyomukanda, lina kwateni nsunu, mi inzona lizindirwa muhisa, inwe cwale mwa mizwatike vule, mawe inwe ve tumero inini!
If then God so clothe the grass, which is to day in the field, and to morrow is cast into the oven; how much more [will he clothe] you, O ye of little faith?
29 Kanji mungani zete mulye kamba zete munwe kanji mu vireri.
And seek not ye what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink, neither be ye of doubtful mind.
30 Kakuli inkanda zonse ze fasi bangana inzi nzintu, mi Ishenu wizi kuti musaka inzi zintu.
For all these things do the nations of the world seek after: and your Father knoweth that ye have need of these things.
31 Kono musake mubuso wakwe, mi inzi zintu ka muziyekerezwe.
But rather seek ye the kingdom of God; and all these things shall be added unto you.
32 Kanji mutiyi, tumberere tunini, kakuli i shenu i sangitwe kumiha Muvuso.
Fear not, little flock; for it is your Father’s good pleasure to give you the kingdom.
33 Mu uze maluwo enu mi muhe kuva shevete. Muli pangire ziviko zisa woli kusupala - Vufumu mwi wulu muzisa mani, uko kusengiri vasa mi Ifulapepe kuzisa shinyi.
Sell that ye have, and give alms; provide yourselves bags which wax not old, a treasure in the heavens that faileth not, where no thief approacheth, neither moth corrupteth.
34 Kakuti kwina chifumu chenu, uko ni inkulo yenu kwete ive nayo.
For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.
35 Imunda zenu zisuminwe muma tunga mi malambi enu a zwirenhavusu ni kumbukuka,
Let your loins be girded about, and [your] lights burning;
36 mi muswane uvu vantu bakwete kulola muyendisi wavo chakavola kumukiti we senso, iri kuti cha keza ni kwiza kungongo ta, yahaho bamwi yalwira mulyango.
And ye yourselves like unto men that wait for their lord, when he will return from the wedding; that when he cometh and knocketh, they may open unto him immediately.
37 Imbuyoti yaba bahikana, vesana keza wanikize niva lindire chakeza. Chama niti ni miwambire kuti keza nsumine ziwato zakwe zile mumunda che tunga, ni kuve kalika hasi kuzilyo, mi mwakeze nikwiza kuva haza.
Blessed [are] those servants, whom the lord when he cometh shall find watching: verily I say unto you, that he shall gird himself, and make them to sit down to meat, and will come forth and serve them.
38 Haiva muyendisi ukeza malunga siku, kamba kalya butatu bwe nako, ni kwiza kuva wana vali tukise, Imbuyoti zavo vahikana.
And if he shall come in the second watch, or come in the third watch, and find [them] so, blessed are those servants.
39 Konohape mwizive inchi, kuti haiva muyendisi we nzuvo ave zivite inako iyo musa avali kukeza, nasana a va siyiriri inzuvo yakwe ni iñatulwa.
And this know, that if the goodman of the house had known what hour the thief would come, he would have watched, and not have suffered his house to be broken through.
40 Mulitukiseze nanwe vulyo, kakuti kamwizi inako iyo mwana o Muntu sana keze.”
Be ye therefore ready also: for the Son of man cometh at an hour when ye think not.
41 Pitorosi chati, “Simwine, uwambira iyi nguli kwetu fera, kamba niku vantu vonse?”
Then Peter said unto him, Lord, speakest thou this parable unto us, or even to all?
42 Mi Simwine chati, “Njeni he you sepahala ni kutalifa muyendisi simwine yata vike vuyendisi he wulu lya va hikana kuti a kuva hanga zilyo che nako iswanera?
And the Lord said, Who then is that faithful and wise steward, whom [his] lord shall make ruler over his household, to give [them their] portion of meat in due season?
43 Ufuyaulitwe uzo muhikana, uzo muyendisi wakwe keza wane napanga izo hakeza.
Blessed [is] that servant, whom his lord when he cometh shall find so doing.
44 Cheniti niwamba kwenu kamuvike vuyendisi bwe luwo lyakwe.
Of a truth I say unto you, that he will make him ruler over all that he hath.
45 Kono haiva uzo muhikana nali wambnira mwinkulo ya kwe, 'Simwine wangu unlyeha kuku vola; mi utanga ku mbupola bahikana vava kwame ni ve chanakazi Vahikana, ni kulya ni nwa, ni kukolwa,
But and if that servant say in his heart, My lord delayeth his coming; and shall begin to beat the menservants and maidens, and to eat and drink, and to be drunken;
46 simwine wozuna mu hikana kakeze mwizuba lyasa mulindire, ni mwi nako yasenzi mi kamu konsole mutu vindivindi nikumu tumina kuchi vaka chimwi navana vasasepahali.
The lord of that servant will come in a day when he looketh not for [him], and at an hour when he is not aware, and will cut him in sunder, and will appoint him his portion with the unbelievers.
47 Zuna muhikana, hace zivite mihupulo ya simwine wakwe, mi kena ava lukise kamba kuyendereza mwa sakira, kakaviwe cha mafaindi mangi.
And that servant, which knew his lord’s will, and prepared not [himself], neither did according to his will, shall be beaten with many [stripes].
48 Kono uzo yasana a bezivite, kakaviwe chama faindi mache. Zumwi ni zumwi kwali kuherwe a hulu, zingi kazi sakahane kwali, mi kwali vava sepahali ahulu, kava vuze zingi ahulu kwali.
But he that knew not, and did commit things worthy of stripes, shall be beaten with few [stripes]. For unto whomsoever much is given, of him shall be much required: and to whom men have committed much, of him they will ask the more.
49 Ni vakezi kuzindira muliro mwi kanda, mi muni sangirwa kuti kamba ciwuva mbukulwa kale.
I am come to send fire on the earth; and what will I, if it be already kindled?
50 Kono nina i nkolovezo ini swanera kukolovezwa chayo, mi kaini kalikite hande konji chiya lizuziriza!
But I have a baptism to be baptized with; and how am I straitened till it be accomplished!
51 Muhupula kuti ni va kezi kuleta inkozo mwi ikanda? Ne, Ni ki wambira, kono niva leti ikauhano.
Suppose ye that I am come to give peace on earth? I tell you, Nay; but rather division:
52 Cwale kuzwa hanu kuya kuvusu, mukube mwizuvo nyonke inkauhano zeyanza lyonke - vantu vo tatwe kulyisa vovere, vantu vo vere kulwisa vantu vo tatwe.
For from henceforth there shall be five in one house divided, three against two, and two against three.
53 Kava kauhane mushemi we chikwame kulwisa mwana kwe we chiswisu, ni mwana we chiswisu kulwisa isi; mushemi we chanakazi kulwisa mwanakwe we chikazana, ni mwana kazana kulwisa nyina; mukwenyani we chanakazi kulwisa mukwenyana kwe we chikazana, ni mukwenyani we chikazana kulwisa mukwenyanakwe we chanakazi.”
The father shall be divided against the son, and the son against the father; the mother against the daughter, and the daughter against the mother; the mother in law against her daughter in law, and the daughter in law against her mother in law.
54 Jesu avali kuwamba ni kuchisi bulyo,”Hamubona i kope lizimana kubwimino, yahaho mu wamba, 'I vula ikezite; mi iza kuva bulyo.
And he said also to the people, When ye see a cloud rise out of the west, straightway ye say, There cometh a shower; and so it is.
55 Mi haiva luhuho lo kwiyaza lye chimonso ni hunga, mu wamba, 'Mukuhise a hulu nsunu; mi kwiza kuva vulyo.
And when [ye see] the south wind blow, ye say, There will be heat; and it cometh to pass.
56 Balihere, mwinzi kutoloka mayemo e kanda ni e wulu, linu vule hape hamusezi muku tolokerwa i nako ya hanu?
[Ye] hypocrites, ye can discern the face of the sky and of the earth; but how is it that ye do not discern this time?
57 Chinzi hamusa atuli zina hande kwenu?
Yea, and why even of yourselves judge ye not what is right?
58 Kakuli haiva no yenda niyo ku zekisa kumu atuli, mu zira ulike ahulu kuti mumane indava naye, iri kuli kanji naka kutambinki kumu atuli, mi kuti muatuli kanji a kaku tambiki kumu yendisi, mi munyendisi kanji a kakusoheri mwi ntorongo.
When thou goest with thine adversary to the magistrate, [as thou art] in the way, give diligence that thou mayest be delivered from him; lest he hale thee to the judge, and the judge deliver thee to the officer, and the officer cast thee into prison.
59 Ni wamba kwenu, kasana ko zwe mwateni konji hete no lihire ishereñi yama manimani yo kwete.”
I tell thee, thou shalt not depart thence, till thou hast paid the very last mite.
