Luka 12
1 Wakati owo amabungano nabhatangene elfu elfu hata bhakhanyanaga, ahandile abhabhole asambe leziwa bhakwe nantele, “Hwilindi ne chachu eya Mafarisayo ambayo unafiki.”
Meantime, while the crowd, in myriads flocked about him, so that they trod one upon another, he said, addressing himself to his disciples, Above all things, beware of the leaven of the Pharisees, which is hypocrisy.
2 Lelo nalimo izu lyalifisishe lyasalyaibhonaha wala lyalifisilye lyaselyayi julihana. Eshi gagonti gamuyanjile hunkisi gabhahwovwehwe pawelele.
For there is nothing covered that shall not be detected: nothing secret that shall not be made known.
3 Na gamuyanjile mmakutu mwa bhantu katika mpanda ezya mhati gayitu mbele wa pamwanya eye golu.
What you have spoken in the dark, shall be reported in the light; what you have whispered in the closet, shall be proclaimed from the housetop.
4 Nane ambabhola amwa rafiki bhane, mgaje bhaogapa ebho bhabhagoga oele afwanaje baada eyeso sebhanowezo abhombe zaidi.
But I charge you, my friends, fear not them who kill the body, and after that can do no more;
5 Lelo embabhasunda owahumwogope. Mwogopaji ola ambaye nkashele wagoga omntu anakwezo huponye hujehanamu. Antele embabhola mwogapaji oyo. (Geenna g1067)
but I will show you whom you ought to fear; fear him, who, after he has killed, has power to cast into hell. I repeat it to you, Fear him. (Geenna g1067)
6 Nkashe mshomolo gasanu segakatiwa husenti zibhele? Wala sebhahwewehwa hata om hwitagalila elya Ngolobhe.
Are not five sparrows sold for two pence? Yet not one of them is forgotten by God:
7 Lelo hata lisisi eya mwi atwa genyu zibhaziwe zyonti, mganje ahwa gape esho. Nafu amwe ashile amashomolo gaminji.
yes, the very hairs of your head are all numbered: fear not, therefore; you are much more valuable than sparrows.
8 Nane embabhola, nkashele yayineteha hwitagalile elya bhantu, omwana owa Adamu wapa ayihumweteha hwitagalila elya malaika owa Ngolobhe.
Moreover, I say to you, whoever shall acknowledge me before me, him the Son of Man will acknowledge before the angels of God;
9 Wape wahana hwitagalila elya bhantu, oyo ayikhanwa hwitagalila elya malaika owa Ngolobhe.
but whoever denies me before men, shall be disowned before the angels of God.
10 Na shila mntu yayiyanga enongwa juu ya omwana wa Adamu, ayisajilwa, nkashele yayihuliga opepo uzelu sagayisajilwa.
And whosoever shall inveigh against the Son of Man, may obtain remission; but to him who detracts from the Holy Spirit, there is no remission.
11 Nabhayibhatwala amwe hwitagalila elye mabhanza, na hwaliwali na hwaongozi, msazugumile asebhe enongwa zyenyu shamwayigalula au ayanje,
And when you are brought before synagogues, and magistrates, and rulers; be not solicitous how or what you shall answer, or what you shall say:
12 afwanaje opepo ozeru ayibhasambelezya, esaa zyezyo zyazihwaziwa aziyanje.”
for the Holy Spirit will teach you in that moment, what ought to be said.
13 Omntu omo katika mabungano wabhola, “Sambelezi bhole oholo wane angabhile vulithi wetu.”
Then one said to him out of the crowd, Rabbi, order my brother to divide the inheritance with me.
14 Wabhola, womntu awe, wenu yambeshele ane aje endi watazanye au wagabhanya juu yenyu?
He answered, Man, who constituted me your judge or arbiter?
15 Wabhabhola enyaji, hwilindaji no wimi afwanaje owomi wamntu sauhuvintu evinji evya mntu vyu unavyo.”
And he said to them, Be upon your guard against covetousness; for in whatever affluence a man be, his life depends not on his possessions.
16 Wabhabhola eshilale wayanga ogonda ogwa mntu omo otajili lyali lipepe tee,
He also used this example, A certain rich man had lands which brought forth plentifully.
17 wanda asebhe humwoyo gwakwe, wayanga, embombo wele, afwanaje sendi nupabheshe eshanga eshe viyabho vyane?
And he reasoned thus with himself, What shall I do? for I have not where to store my crop.
18 Wayanga embabhombe eshi, embabozolanye evyanga vyane, ezenje eshamwabho eshi gosi tee, nomwo embabheshe evyelewa vyane vyonti nevintu vyane.
I will do this, added he; I will pull down my storehouses, and build larger, and there I will store all my produce, and my goods.
19 Nantele, nayihwibhozya, awe womwoyo gwane olinevintu evinza vinji vyo hwibheye mbuto humaha gaminji. Toyo eshi, alye, omwele, osongwe.”
And I will say to my soul, Soul, thou hast plenty of goods laid up for many years; take thin ease, eat, drink, enjoy thyself.
20 Lelo Ongolobhe wabhozya, olilema awe, osiku ou owasanyono bhahwanza owomi waho, nevintu vyohwibhesheye vibhabhe vyananu?
But God said to him, Fool! this very night your soul is required of you. Whose, then, shall those things be, which you have provided?
21 Shesho shali omntu yahwibheye omwoyo gwakwe mbuto, asahwitajilisye hwa Ngolobhe.
So it fares with him who amasses treasure for himself, but is not rich toward God.
22 Wabhabhola asambelezwa bhakwe, afwatana nesho embabhozya mgaje ahwihangayishile amayisha genyu mbhalya yenu wala amabele genyu mbhakwate yenu.
Then he said to his disciples, For this reason I charge you, be not anxious about your life, what you shall eat; nor about your body, what you shall wear.
23 Afwanaje amayisha gazaidieyeshu lya nobele zaidi yemenda.
Life is a greater gift than food, and the body than clothing.
24 Bhasebhaji enkogolo eyaje sebhato tuwala sebhayabhila, seline shanga wa eshitala, no Ngolobhe abhalisya, mrinafu amwe shila enyonyi!
Consider the ravens: they neither sow nor reap; have neither cellar nor barn; but God feeds them. How much more valuable are you than fowls?
25 Yonanu hwilimwe yabhajiye ahwi ngayisye nawezye ahwiyonjezye otali wakwe hata okhono gumo?
Besides, which of you can, by his anxiety, prolong his life one hour?
26 Eshi nkashele semwezizye hata lizu lyalili lidodo, yenu mhwiyazya kwajili yegamwabho?
If, therefore, you can not thus effect even the smallest thing, why are you anxious about the rest?
27 Gasebhelaji amawowa ejinsi shamela segahuhambo embombo wala segabhilinga, neane embubhola yaje hata Osulemani katika efahali yakwe yonti saga kwatiziwe shinza kama neshe eyego,
Consider the lilies. How do they grow? They toil not; they spin not; yet I affirm, that even Solomon, in all his glory, was not equally adorned with one of these.
28 Eshi nkebhe Ongolobhe akwatizya eshi amasole agamwipali, gagali sanyo no na sandabho gatagwa papepe. Je sagayibhabhombela amwe? Enyi amwe mwemli imani endodo!
If, then, God so array the herbage, which to-day is in the field, and to-morrow is cast into the oven; how much more will he array you, O you distrustful!
29 Amwe msahwanza shamwayilya wala shamwaimwele wala mgaje abhombe nowoga.
Do not ask, therefore, what you shall eat, or what you shall drink; live not in anxious suspense.
30 Afwanaje egogonti ebhamnsi omu. Lelo o yise wenyu amenye aje mganza ego.
For all these things the Pagans seeks; whereas, your Father knows that you need them.
31 Eshi anzaji omwene owa NGOLOBHE, nego mwayonjezewa,
But seek you the kingdom of God, and all these things shall be superadded to you.
32 Mganje hwogope, amwe mwikundi idodo, afanaje oYise wenyu alolile shinza abhapele ula oumwene.
Fear not, my little flock, for it has pleased your Father to give you the kingdom.
33 Kazi vyamlinavyo mfumye sadaka, hwibheshalaji amafuko yasagalala—embuto yasepogoha, humwanya pasaga afiha omwibha wala no ndo sana nkaya.
Sell your goods and give alms; provide yourselves purses which wear not out; treasure inexhaustible in heaven, where no thieves approach, where nothing is spoiled by worms.
34 Afanaje embuto yenyu, pehweli pagayibha gahweli na moyo genyu.
For where your treasure is, your heart will likewise be.
35 Amasana genyu gabhe gapinyilya nehozyo, zyenyu zibhe zihwaha,
Let your loins be girt, and your lamps burning;
36 Namwe bhanji neshe abhantu bhabhahugolezya OGOSI wabho naiwela afume huweji, ili na hwenza na khome ehodi bhamwigulile.
and yourselves, like those who wait their master's return from the wedding; that when he comes and knocks, they may immediately let him in.
37 Nafu asontezewa bhala, ambao OGOSI wabho nayenza ayibhaga bhagonezezye. Eteshi embabhola abhahwipinye nabhakaribizye pa shalye, ayenza nabhavwe.
Happy those servants whom their master, at his return, shall find watching. Indeed, I say to you, that he will gird himself, and having placed them at table, will attend and serve them.
38 Nankayenze olyondizanyo olwa bhele, au nkayenza olwandiznyo olwatatu nabhaje eshi, nafu ontezewa ebho.
And whether he comes in the second watch, or in the third, if he finds things thus, happy are those servants.
39 Lelo mmanye, izu eli, aje omwane sho nyumba agamenye esaa ya bhahwenze omwibha, handa agone zyezye, wala handa sagaleshele enyumba yakwe ebozolwe.
You are certain that if the master of the house knew at what hour the thief would come, he would watch, and not allow him to break into his house.
40 Namwe hwibhehaji tayari afwanaje esaa yasagammenye shesho sha hwenza omwana wa Adamu.
Be you, then, always prepared; because the Son of Man will come at an hour when you are not expecting him.
41 OPetro wabhola, “GOSI, eshilale esho otibholele tele wene, au abhantu bhonti antele?
Then Peter said to him, Master, is this parable directed to us alone, or to all?
42 OGOSI wayanga, “Wenu eshi yali mtunzaji mwinza yali nebusara ambaye ogosi wakuwe abhahubheshe bhombambombo wakwe wonti, abhapele abhantu eposho huwakati wakwe?
The Lord said, Who, now, is the discreet and faithful steward, whom the master will set over his household, to dispense regularly the allowance of corn!
43 Nafu osontezi ola, ambaye gosi wakwe nahwenza awahumwaje abhomba esho.
Happy that servant, if his master, at his arrival, shall find him so employed.
44 Lyoli embabhola abhahubheshe juu yevintu vyakwe vyonti.
I tell you truly, he will intrust him with the management of all his estate.
45 Lelo osontelezewa ola nkayanje humwoyo gwakwe, “OGOSI wane wakhala ahwenze wanda; abhakhome aholo bhakwe, alume na bhashe, alya na mwele na kholwe,
But as to the servant who shall say within himself, My master delays his return, and shall beat the men-servants and the maids, and shall feast, and carouse, and be drunken;
46 Ogosi wakwe otumwa oyo ayenza isiku lyasategemeye nesaa yasayimenye, abhahudumranye evipande vibhele nahubheshe ifungu lyakwe pandwemo na bhasaga bhalino lyeteho'
the master of that servant will come on a day when he is not expecting him, and at an hour of which he is not apprised, and having discarded him, will assign him his portion with the faithless.
47 No tumwa, ola yagamenye omapenzi ga gosi wakwe, sahwibhe tayari wala agabhombe amapenzi gakwe, ayikhomwa tee.
And that servant who knew his master's will, yet did not make himself ready, nor execute his orders, shall receive many stripes;
48 No ola yasagamenye wape abhombile gagahwanziwa akhomwe, akhomwa hashe. Na shila yapewewe evinji, hwamwahale oyo bhanza wanze vivinji, wape wabhesheye amana evintu evinji hwamwahale oyo wabhanza ahwanze zaidi.
whereas, he who knew not, but did things deserving chastisement, shall receive few: for much will be required of every one to whom much is given; and the more a man is intrusted, the more will be exacted from him.
49 Enenzere aponye omwoto pansi, na nkashile gwandue ahwanshe lyenu lyehwanza zaidi,
I came to throw fire upon the earth; and what would I but that it were kindled?
50 Lelo endi no wonzwe wauhwanziwa ahwoziwe, nene endi namalabha neshe eyenu ili gatimizwe!
I have an immersion to undergo; and how am I pained till it be accomplished?
51 Eshi! mwadhani eyaje enenzele alete eamani? Pansi, embabhola, la seshashesho eshi Mafarakano.
Do you imagine that I am come to give peace to the earth? I tell you, No; but division.
52 Afwanaje afume eshi enyumba emo bhayibha abhantu bhasanu bhavisenye, bhantu hwabhabhele, bhabhele hwa bhantu.
For hereafter, five in one family will be divided; three against two, and two against three:
53 Bhayivisanya, oYise no mwana no mwana no Yise wakwe, onyino no lendu wakwe, khoyi wakwe, okhamwana no khamwana wa mntu.
father against son, and son against father; mother against daughter, and daughter against mother; mother-in-law against daughter-in-law, and daughter-in-law against mother-in-law.
54 Wabhabhola amabungano nantele, “Shila namlola ibhengo nkalifumile oupanda wa magharibi tiyanga, evula ehwenza, ibha shesho,
He said also to the people, When you see a cloud rising in the west, you say, It will rain immediately, and so it happens;
55 Na shila nevugula hukuskazini, liyanga, hubhabhe nilyoto, na shashi hweli.
and when the south wind blows, you say, It will be hot, and it happens accordingly.
56 Amwe mwanafiki, mmenye atambule amaso agensine mwanya, shiliwele eshi abhe semumenye atambule amajira ega?
Hypocrites, you can judge of what appears in the sky, and on the earth; how is it that you can not judge of the present time?
57 Na mbona amwe mwemwe hunafsi zyenu semu hwamla gagali gelyoli?
and why do you not, even of yourselves, discern what is just?
58 Eshi namulongozenye no mshitaki waho abhale hwa lonzi, epo pidala bhomba ebidii akondane nawo, asabhe agaburuzya mpaka hwitagalila elya lonzi, ola olonzi wakhata mmakhono gakwe, hwamwenesho yagalipizya nola owalipizye asije agafunga mwijela.
When you go with your creditor to the magistrate, endeavor, on the road, to satisfy him, lest he drag you before the judge, and the judge consign you to the sergeant, and the sergeant commit you to prison:
59 Ehubhola, sofuma omwo nkahashe hata omale asombe esenti eya mwisho.
I assure you, you will not be released until you have paid the last mite.
