Luka 12
1 Kwa wakati wo maelfu ganambone gabandu balikusangika pamoja kiasi cha tumbwa libatana atumbwi bayana banafunzi bake muhidhali na chachu ya mafarisayo ambayo nga unafiki.
At which time the myriads of the multitude having been gathered together, so as to tread on one another, He began to say to His disciples, first, “Take heed to yourselves of the leaven of the Pharisees, which is hypocrisy;
2 Na pabali na siri yai iyilwe ambayo ya umukulilwalii wala jambo laliiyilwe ambalo latangani kwali.
and there is nothing covered that will not be revealed, and hid that will not be known;
3 Na lyolyoi laumbayit palibindu layanika pabwega. Na gogota gamubajite munachikilo nkati ya yumba yinu ya nkati yamuyigile gatangazwa panani ya nyumba.
because whatever you said in the darkness will be heard in the light, and what you spoke to the ear in the inner-chambers will be proclaimed on the housetops.
4 Nenda kuabakia mabwiga lyangu kana mwayoghope balu bababulagayiga na mtupu kile chingi chabakipanga.
And I say to you, my friends, do not be afraid of those killing the body, and after these things are not having anything more to do;
5 Lakini ni palakuabula ywakunyogopa. mungogope yulu ambaye baada ya bulaga aina ngupu ya kukutailya jehanamu elo nendakuabakia mwenga munyogopenywo. (Geenna g1067)
but I will show to you whom you may fear: fear Him who, after the killing, is having authority to cast into Gehenna; yes, I say to you, fear Him. (Geenna g1067)
6 Je shomoro batano bapimiali shilingi ibele? hata ivyo mtupu hata yamo ywabapala kumbalya mbele ya Nnongu.
Are not five sparrows sold for two assaria? And one of them is not forgotten before God,
7 Lakini mtange kuwa nywili ya mumitwee yinu itibalangwilwa kana muyogope. mwenga muina thamani ngulu kuliko shomoro baingi.
but even the hairs of your head have all been numbered; therefore do not fear, you are of more value than many sparrows.
8 Ninda kuabakia, ywaniyikitiya nenga nninge ya bandu, mwana wa Adamu anyiyikitya nnonge ya malaika na Nnongo.
And I say to you, everyone who may confess in Me before men, the Son of Man will also confess in him before the messengers of God,
9 Lakini ywoywoti ywanikana nnonge ya bandu ni ywembe akanikiya nnongi ya malaika ba Nnongo.
and he who has denied Me before men, will be denied before the messengers of God,
10 Ywoywoti nywabaya lineno kunani ya mwana wa Adamu, asamehelwa, lakini ywoywoti ywa mkufuru Roho mpeletau, asamehelwa kwaa,
and everyone who will say a word to the Son of Man, it will be forgiven to him, but the [one] having slandered to the Holy Spirit will not be forgiven.
11 Bapampeleka nnongi ya wakolo ba masinagogi, atawala, ni bene mamlka, kana muyogope husu namna ya longela katika kuitetea au kile cha baya,
And when they bring you before the synagogues, and the rulers, and the authorities, do not be anxious how or what you may reply, or what you may say,
12 Kwa kuwa Roho Mpeletau ampundisha namani mwampala baya kwa wakati woo,”
for the Holy Spirit will teach you in that hour what [you] should say.”
13 Mundu yumo katika likusanyiko ammakiye, mwalimu, umakiye nnunangu ampei sehemu ya urithi wango,”
And a certain one out of the multitude said to Him, “Teacher, say to my brother to divide with me the inheritance.”
14 Yesu an'yangwi, ni nyai ywa nibikite panga namwamuzi ni wanipatanisha kati yinu?
And He said to him, “Man, who set Me a judge or a divider over you?”
15 Nga aabakiya, muiadhari ni kila namna ya tamaa, kwa sababu ukto wa mundu ubile kwaa katika wingwa ilibe yabile nayo.”
And He said to them, “Observe, and beware of the covetousness, because his life is not in the abundance of one’s goods.”
16 Yesu aabakiye mfano, kabaya, nng'unda wa mundu yumo tajiri yatipambika muno.
And He spoke an allegory to them, saying, “Of a certain rich man the field brought forth well;
17 ni atikuilokiya nkati yake, kabaya, mbange namani kwani ntopo mahali pabika yakya yango?
and he was reasoning within himself, saying, What will I do, because I have nowhere I will gather together my fruits?
18 Ngabaya mbapanga nyaa, mbatekwana magolo gango machunu ni chenga balibile likolo ni kuibika yakulya yango yoti ni ile yenge.
And he said, This I will do, I will take down my storehouses, and I will build greater ones, and I will gather together there all my products and my good things,
19 Naibakiya nafsi yango, “Nafsi, uibekii akii ya ile yanambone kwa miaka yanambone upumuli, ulye, unywee ni ustalee.”
and I will say to my soul, Soul, you have many good things laid up for many years, be resting, eat, drink, be merry.
20 Lakini Nongo ammakiye, wenga mundu mpumbavu, kiloo cha lino tupala mwoyo buka kwako, ni ilee yoti yaniandaite yapanga ya nyai?
And God said to him, Unthinking [one]! This night your life is required of you, and what things you prepared—to whom will they be [given]?
21 Nga yapanga kwa kila mundu ywa ibekya mali ni kuitayalisha kwaajili ya Ngwana.
So [is] he who is treasuring up to himself, and is not rich toward God.”
22 Yesu aabakiye benepuzi bake, kwa nyo nenda kuwabakiya kana muyogope husu maisha yinu ya kwale mwa lyaa namani au husu yega yinu mwa wala namani.
And He said to His disciples, “Because of this, to you I say, do not be anxious for your life, what you may eat; nor for the body, what you may put on;
23 kwa kuwa maisha nga muno kuliko chakulya, ni yega muno kuliko ngobo.
life is more than nourishment, and the body than clothing.
24 Muilinge iyuni ya angani, balima kwaa wala bauna kwaa. Ntopo chumba wa lighulo lya bikya, lakini Tati bitu anda kuwaleleya mwenga bora kwaa kuliko iyuni!
Consider the ravens, that they do not sow, nor reap, to which there is no barn nor storehouse, and God nourishes them; how much better are you than the birds?
25 Ywako nkati yinu ambaye ywaisumbua awesa yongeya dhiraa imo katika maisha gake?
And who of you, being anxious, is able to add to his age one cubit?
26 Mana basi mngwecha kwaa panga hacho kichunu chakibile rahisi kwa namani kuisumbwa hago genge?
If, then, you are not able for the least—why are you anxious for the rest?
27 Mugalinge maluba mwagakula. Gapanga kwaa kazi wala gapota kwaa. Lakini nenda kuwabakia hata Suleimani katika utukufu bake boti ban'gwalike kwaa kati yimo yapo haga.
Consider the lilies, how do they grow? They do not labor, nor do they spin, and I say to you, not even Solomon in all his glory was clothed as one of these;
28 Mana Nnongo ugawalika vizuri maakapi ga mmendi, ambago leno gabile, ni malau ugataikwa pa mwoto. Buli mwenga muno kwaa aweza kun'gwalika? mwenga imani njunu!
and if the herbage in the field, that today is, and tomorrow is cast into an oven, God so clothes, how much more you of little faith?
29 Kana msumbukii husu mwa lyaa namani au mwa nywa namani wala kana m'be ni hofu.
And you—do not seek what you may eat, or what you may drink, and do not be in suspense,
30 Kwa kuwa mataifa goti ga kilambo basumbukiya mambo gabe. Ni Tati binu atangite kuwa mpala ago.
for the nations of the world seek after all these things, and your Father has known that you have need of these things;
31 Lakini muupale ufalme wake kwanza, ni ago genge anyongekeya.
but seek the Kingdom of God, and all these things will be added to you.
32 Kana muyogope mwenge mwa likundi lichini kwasababu Tati binu apulaikya kwapea ufalme.
Do not fear, little flock, because your Father delighted to give you the kingdom;
33 Mupimeye mali yinu mukaapeiimaskini, muhipangii mifuko yangali yomoka hazina ya kunani yanga yomoka, sehemu ambayo baii bakalibia kwaa wala nondo aweza kwaa alibu.
sell your goods, and give alms, make to yourselves bags that do not become old, a treasure unfailing in the heavens, where thief does not come near, nor moth destroy;
34 Kwa kuwa paibile hazina yako, nga mwoyo wako paupabaa.
for where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.
35 Ngobo yinu ndachi ibe itabilwe kwa nkanda, ni taa yinu muhakikishe kuwa kaiyendelya yakaa.
Let your loins be girded, and the lamps burning,
36 ni m'be kati bandu babannolekea Ngwana wabe buka kusheree ya ndoa, linga mana aichile ni kumbwa ulibawecha kunyughulya nniyango kwa haraka.
and you [be] like to men waiting for their lord when he will return out of the wedding feasts, that he having come and knocked, immediately they may open to him.
37 Batibarikiwa balu atumishi ambao Ngwana aakolya bai minyo. Hakika atabaa ngobo yake ndacho kwa nkanda alafuatawika pae kwa chakulya, ni kubahudumia.
Blessed those servants, whom the lord, having come, will find watching; truly I say to you that he will gird himself, and will cause them to recline, and having come near, will minister to them;
38 Kati Ngwana aaicha kwa zamu yeneibele ya lindela lya kilo, au hata zamu yene itatu ya lindela, ni kunkolya wabiile tayari, yabaa heri kwa abo atumishi.
and if he may come in the second watch, and in the third watch he may come, and may find [it] so, blessed are those servants.
39 zaidi ya ago mutange linga, kati ngwana mwene nyumba akatangage saa ambayo mwii andaicha, apeilekali nyumba yake tekwana.
And know this, that if the master of the house had known what hour the thief comes, he would have watched, and would not have permitted his house to be broken through;
40 Mube tayari kai kwani mutangite kwaa ni wakati gani mwana wa Adamu abuyangana.
and you, then, become ready, because at the hour you do not think, the Son of Man comes.”
41 Petro abayite, “Ngwana, utubakia twenga mfano yii, au umakiya kila mundu?
And Peter said to Him, “Lord, do You speak this allegory to us, or also to all?”
42 Ngwana amm'bakiye, nyai mwanda mwaminifu au mwene hekima ambaye ngwana wake amika panani ya abanda benge lenga abagane chakulya chabe kwa wakati wapalikwa?
And the LORD said, “Who, then, is the faithful and prudent steward whom the lord will set over his household, to give in season the wheat measure?
43 Atibarikiwa mmanda yolo ambaye bwana wake mana aichile ukolya kapanga galo ganagile.
Blessed that servant, whom his lord, having come, will find doing so;
44 Hakika nindakuwabakiya mwenga ya kuwa ami'ka manani ya mali yake yoti.
truly I say to you that he will set him over all his goods.
45 Lakini mmanda yolo mana abayite pa mwoyo wake,'bwana wango achia buya, nga nyoo ngatumbwa kuangumbwa abanda alalume ni alwawa alafu atumbwa lyaa, nywaa ni lobya.
And if that servant may say in his heart, My lord delays to come, and may begin to beat the menservants and the maidservants, to eat also, and to drink, and to be drunken,
46 Bwana wake yolo mmanda aicha katika lichuba yanga kwaa kuitegemea ni lisaa langa kwaa kulitanga, ywembe ankata ipande ipande ni kummeka katika sehemu imo ni banga kwaa aaminifu.'
the lord of that servant will come in a day in which he does not look for [him], and in an hour that he does not know, and will cut him off, and he will appoint his portion with the unfaithful.
47 Mmanda ywa yowa mapenzi ga bwana wake, aindaite kwaa wala apangite sawa sawa ni penda kwake, akumbulwa iboko iingi.
And that servant, who having known his lord’s will, and having not prepared, nor having gone according to his will, will be beaten with many stripes,
48 Lakini mmanda ywa tangite kwaa mwapendi bwana wake, lakini apangite gagapalikwa adhabu, angumbulwa iboko njunu. kwa kuwa ywembe ywa peilwe yanambone, apalongelwa buka kwake ni ywembe ywaaminilwe kwa yanambone, kwake alongelwa yanambone muno.
and he who, not having known, and having done things worthy of stripes, will be beaten with few; and to everyone to whom much was given, much will be required from him; and to whom they committed much, more abundantly they will ask of him.
49 Niichile koya mwoto mukilambo ni nenda tamaniya ibe inda yaka,
I came to cast fire to the earth, and what I wish [is] if it were already kindled!
50 Lakini nina ubatizo ambao mbabatizwa, ni nina kyoto mpaka paukamilika.
But I have an immersion to be immersed with, and how I am pressed until it may be accomplished!
51 Buli mufikilia kuwa niichi leta amani mukilambo? Nyoli, ninda kuwabakiya, badala yake niletite mutalanganike.
Do you think that I came to give peace in the earth? No, I say to you, but rather division;
52 Tangu nambeambe ni yendelya paba, ni bandu batano. Katika nyumba yimo babaganike, ni atatu kinyume ni abele abele bapanga kinyume ni atatu.
for there will be from now on five in one house divided—three against two, and two against three;
53 Babaganika, tati apanga kinyume ni mwana wake, ni mwana ni mwana apanga kinyume ni tate bake, Mao apanga kinyume ni mwana wake, ni mwana apanga kinyume ni mabake, mwile apanga kinyume ni mkwano, ni mkwano apanga kinyume ni mabake.
a father will be divided against a son, and a son against a father, a mother against a daughter, and a daughter against a mother, a mother-in-law against her daughter-in-law, and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law.”
54 Yesu ende kuabakia makutano kae, pa mona maunde kugapita kundondi, mwaya wakati wa ula wandaicha, ni nga chai bile.
And He also said to the multitudes, “When you may see the cloud rising from the west, immediately you say, A shower comes, and it is so;
55 Ni mchunga wa kusimana uvumilite mmaya paba ni lyoto likali, ni nga chai baa.
and when a south wind is blowing, you say that there will be heat, and it is;
56 Mwenga mwa lau, muweza tafsiri mmoneka wa kilambo ni kunani, lakini iba buli nngwecha kwaa tafsiri wakati waubile?
hypocrites! You have known to discern the face of the earth and of the sky, but how do you not discern this time?
57 Ni kwa namani kila yumo kana alipambanue lali la kweli kwake kulipanga wakati pa bi ni nafsi ya panga nyo?
And why, also, of yourselves, do you not judge what is righteous?
58 Maana mana uyihi ni ywakushitakiya nnongi ya hakimu, uitahidi patana na ywa kushitakya mungali balo mundela kana akupeleke kwa hakimu, ni hakimu akupeleki kwa afisa akutaikwa muligereza.
For as you are going away with your opponent to the ruler, in the way give diligence to be released from him, lest he may drag you to the judge, and the judge may deliver you to the officer, and the officer may cast you into prison;
59 Ninda kuwabakiya wapita mwo adi ulepite mpaka lusenti lwa mwisho.
I say to you, you may not come forth from there until even the last mite you may give back.”
