Luka 12
1 Wakati owo amabungano nabhatangene elfu elfu hata bhakhanyanaga, ahandile abhabhole asambe leziwa bhakwe nantele, “Hwilindi ne chachu eya Mafarisayo ambayo unafiki.”
In the mean time, when the many thousands of the multitude were gathered together, 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 Lelo nalimo izu lyalifisishe lyasalyaibhonaha wala lyalifisilye lyaselyayi julihana. Eshi gagonti gamuyanjile hunkisi gabhahwovwehwe pawelele.
But there is nothing covered up, that shall not be revealed: and hid, that shall not be known.
3 Na gamuyanjile mmakutu mwa bhantu katika mpanda ezya mhati gayitu mbele wa pamwanya eye golu.
Wherefore whatsoever ye have said in the darkness shall be heard in the light; and what ye have spoken in the ear in the inner chambers shall be proclaimed upon the housetops.
4 Nane ambabhola amwa rafiki bhane, mgaje bhaogapa ebho bhabhagoga oele afwanaje baada eyeso sebhanowezo abhombe zaidi.
And I say unto you my friends, Be not afraid of them which kill the body, and after that have no more that they can do.
5 Lelo embabhasunda owahumwogope. Mwogopaji ola ambaye nkashele wagoga omntu anakwezo huponye hujehanamu. Antele embabhola mwogapaji oyo. (Geenna g1067)
But I will warn 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 Nkashe mshomolo gasanu segakatiwa husenti zibhele? Wala sebhahwewehwa hata om hwitagalila elya Ngolobhe.
Are not five sparrows sold for two farthings? and not one of them is forgotten in the sight of God.
7 Lelo hata lisisi eya mwi atwa genyu zibhaziwe zyonti, mganje ahwa gape esho. Nafu amwe ashile amashomolo gaminji.
But the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Fear not: ye are of more value than many sparrows.
8 Nane embabhola, nkashele yayineteha hwitagalile elya bhantu, omwana owa Adamu wapa ayihumweteha hwitagalila elya malaika owa Ngolobhe.
And I say unto you, Every one who shall confess me before men, him shall the Son of man also confess before the angels of God:
9 Wape wahana hwitagalila elya bhantu, oyo ayikhanwa hwitagalila elya malaika owa Ngolobhe.
but he that denieth me in the presence of men shall be denied in the presence of the angels of God.
10 Na shila mntu yayiyanga enongwa juu ya omwana wa Adamu, ayisajilwa, nkashele yayihuliga opepo uzelu sagayisajilwa.
And every one who shall speak a word against the Son of man, it shall be forgiven him: but unto him that blasphemeth against the Holy Spirit it shall not be forgiven.
11 Nabhayibhatwala amwe hwitagalila elye mabhanza, na hwaliwali na hwaongozi, msazugumile asebhe enongwa zyenyu shamwayigalula au ayanje,
And when they bring you before the synagogues, and the rulers, and the authorities, be not anxious how or what ye shall answer, or what ye shall say:
12 afwanaje opepo ozeru ayibhasambelezya, esaa zyezyo zyazihwaziwa aziyanje.”
for the Holy Spirit shall teach you in that very hour what ye ought to say.
13 Omntu omo katika mabungano wabhola, “Sambelezi bhole oholo wane angabhile vulithi wetu.”
And one out of the multitude said unto him, Master, bid my brother divide the inheritance with me.
14 Wabhola, womntu awe, wenu yambeshele ane aje endi watazanye au wagabhanya juu yenyu?
But he said unto him, Man, who made me a judge or a divider over you?
15 Wabhabhola enyaji, hwilindaji no wimi afwanaje owomi wamntu sauhuvintu evinji evya mntu vyu unavyo.”
And he said unto them, Take heed, and keep yourselves from all covetousness: for a man’s life consisteth not in the abundance of the things which he possesseth.
16 Wabhabhola eshilale wayanga ogonda ogwa mntu omo otajili lyali lipepe tee,
And he spake a parable unto them, saying, The ground of a certain rich man brought forth plentifully:
17 wanda asebhe humwoyo gwakwe, wayanga, embombo wele, afwanaje sendi nupabheshe eshanga eshe viyabho vyane?
and he reasoned within himself, saying, What shall I do, because I have not where to bestow my fruits?
18 Wayanga embabhombe eshi, embabozolanye evyanga vyane, ezenje eshamwabho eshi gosi tee, nomwo embabheshe evyelewa vyane vyonti nevintu vyane.
And he said, This will I do: I will pull down my barns, and build greater; and there will I bestow all my corn 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 much goods laid up for many years; take thine ease, eat, drink, be merry.
20 Lelo Ongolobhe wabhozya, olilema awe, osiku ou owasanyono bhahwanza owomi waho, nevintu vyohwibhesheye vibhabhe vyananu?
But God said unto him, Thou foolish one, this night is thy soul required of thee; and the things which thou hast prepared, whose shall they be?
21 Shesho shali omntu yahwibheye omwoyo gwakwe mbuto, asahwitajilisye hwa Ngolobhe.
So is he that layeth up treasure for himself, and is not rich toward God.
22 Wabhabhola asambelezwa bhakwe, afwatana nesho embabhozya mgaje ahwihangayishile amayisha genyu mbhalya yenu wala amabele genyu mbhakwate yenu.
And he said unto his disciples, Therefore I say unto you, Be not anxious for [your] life, what ye shall eat; nor yet for your body, what ye shall put on.
23 Afwanaje amayisha gazaidieyeshu lya nobele zaidi yemenda.
For the life is more than the food, and the body than the raiment.
24 Bhasebhaji enkogolo eyaje sebhato tuwala sebhayabhila, seline shanga wa eshitala, no Ngolobhe abhalisya, mrinafu amwe shila enyonyi!
Consider the ravens, that they sow not, neither reap; which have no store-chamber nor barn; and God feedeth them: of how much more value are ye than the birds!
25 Yonanu hwilimwe yabhajiye ahwi ngayisye nawezye ahwiyonjezye otali wakwe hata okhono gumo?
And which of you by being anxious can add a cubit unto his stature?
26 Eshi nkashele semwezizye hata lizu lyalili lidodo, yenu mhwiyazya kwajili yegamwabho?
If then ye are not able to do even that which is least, why are ye anxious concerning 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 they grow: they toil not, neither do they spin; yet I say unto you, Even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like 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!
But if God doth so clothe the grass in the field, which today is, and tomorrow is cast into the oven; how much more [shall he clothe] you, O ye of little faith?
29 Amwe msahwanza shamwayilya wala shamwaimwele wala mgaje abhombe nowoga.
And seek not ye what ye shall eat, and what ye shall drink, neither be ye of doubtful mind.
30 Afwanaje egogonti ebhamnsi omu. Lelo o yise wenyu amenye aje mganza ego.
For all these things do the nations of the world seek after: but your Father knoweth that ye have need of these things.
31 Eshi anzaji omwene owa NGOLOBHE, nego mwayonjezewa,
Howbeit seek ye his kingdom, and these things shall be added unto you.
32 Mganje hwogope, amwe mwikundi idodo, afanaje oYise wenyu alolile shinza abhapele ula oumwene.
Fear not, little flock; for it is your Father’s good pleasure 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 that ye have, and give alms; make for yourselves purses which wax not old, a treasure in the heavens that faileth not, where no thief draweth near, neither moth destroyeth.
34 Afanaje embuto yenyu, pehweli pagayibha gahweli na moyo genyu.
For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.
35 Amasana genyu gabhe gapinyilya nehozyo, zyenyu zibhe zihwaha,
Let your loins be girded about, and your lamps burning;
36 Namwe bhanji neshe abhantu bhabhahugolezya OGOSI wabho naiwela afume huweji, ili na hwenza na khome ehodi bhamwigulile.
and be ye yourselves like unto men looking for their lord, when he shall return from the marriage feast; that, when he cometh and knocketh, they may straightway open unto him.
37 Nafu asontezewa bhala, ambao OGOSI wabho nayenza ayibhaga bhagonezezye. Eteshi embabhola abhahwipinye nabhakaribizye pa shalye, ayenza nabhavwe.
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 sit down to meat, and shall come and serve them.
38 Nankayenze olyondizanyo olwa bhele, au nkayenza olwandiznyo olwatatu nabhaje eshi, nafu ontezewa ebho.
And if he shall come in the second watch, and if in the third, and find [them] so, blessed 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.
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 left his house to be broken through.
40 Namwe hwibhehaji tayari afwanaje esaa yasagammenye shesho sha hwenza omwana wa Adamu.
Be ye also ready: for in an hour that ye think not the Son of man cometh.
41 OPetro wabhola, “GOSI, eshilale esho otibholele tele wene, au abhantu bhonti antele?
And Peter said, Lord, speakest thou this parable unto us, or even unto all?
42 OGOSI wayanga, “Wenu eshi yali mtunzaji mwinza yali nebusara ambaye ogosi wakuwe abhahubheshe bhombambombo wakwe wonti, abhapele abhantu eposho huwakati wakwe?
And the Lord said, Who then is the faithful and wise steward, whom his lord shall set over his household, to give them their portion of food in due season?
43 Nafu osontezi ola, ambaye gosi wakwe nahwenza awahumwaje abhomba esho.
Blessed is that servant, whom his lord when he cometh shall find so doing.
44 Lyoli embabhola abhahubheshe juu yevintu vyakwe vyonti.
Of a truth I say unto you, that he will set him over all that he hath.
45 Lelo osontelezewa ola nkayanje humwoyo gwakwe, “OGOSI wane wakhala ahwenze wanda; abhakhome aholo bhakwe, alume na bhashe, alya na mwele na kholwe,
But if that servant shall say in his heart, My lord delayeth his coming; and shall begin to beat the menservants and the maidservants, and to eat and drink, and to be drunken;
46 Ogosi wakwe otumwa oyo ayenza isiku lyasategemeye nesaa yasayimenye, abhahudumranye evipande vibhele nahubheshe ifungu lyakwe pandwemo na bhasaga bhalino lyeteho'
the lord of that servant shall come in a day when he expecteth not, and in an hour when he knoweth not, and shall cut him asunder, and appoint his portion with the unfaithful.
47 No tumwa, ola yagamenye omapenzi ga gosi wakwe, sahwibhe tayari wala agabhombe amapenzi gakwe, ayikhomwa tee.
And that servant, which knew his lord’s will, and made not ready, nor did according to his will, shall be beaten with 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.
but he that knew not, and did things worthy of stripes, shall be beaten with few [stripes]. And to whomsoever much is given, of him shall much be required: and to whom they commit much, of him will they ask the more.
49 Enenzere aponye omwoto pansi, na nkashile gwandue ahwanshe lyenu lyehwanza zaidi,
I came to cast fire upon the earth; and what will I, if it is already kindled?
50 Lelo endi no wonzwe wauhwanziwa ahwoziwe, nene endi namalabha neshe eyenu ili gatimizwe!
But I have a baptism to be baptized with; and how am I straitened till it be accomplished!
51 Eshi! mwadhani eyaje enenzele alete eamani? Pansi, embabhola, la seshashesho eshi Mafarakano.
Think ye that I am come to give peace in the earth? I tell you, Nay; but rather division:
52 Afwanaje afume eshi enyumba emo bhayibha abhantu bhasanu bhavisenye, bhantu hwabhabhele, bhabhele hwa bhantu.
for there shall be from henceforth five in one house 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.
They shall 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 Wabhabhola amabungano nantele, “Shila namlola ibhengo nkalifumile oupanda wa magharibi tiyanga, evula ehwenza, ibha shesho,
And he said to the multitudes also, When ye see a cloud rising in the west, straightway ye say, There cometh a shower; and so it cometh to pass.
55 Na shila nevugula hukuskazini, liyanga, hubhabhe nilyoto, na shashi hweli.
And when [ye see] a south wind blowing, ye say, There will be a scorching heat; and it cometh to pass.
56 Amwe mwanafiki, mmenye atambule amaso agensine mwanya, shiliwele eshi abhe semumenye atambule amajira ega?
Ye hypocrites, ye know how to interpret the face of the earth and the heaven; but how is it that ye know not how to interpret this time?
57 Na mbona amwe mwemwe hunafsi zyenu semu hwamla gagali gelyoli?
And why even of yourselves judge ye not what is right?
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.
For as thou art going with thine adversary before the magistrate, on the way give diligence to be quit of him; lest haply he hale thee unto the judge, and the judge shall deliver thee to the officer, and the officer shall cast thee into prison.
59 Ehubhola, sofuma omwo nkahashe hata omale asombe esenti eya mwisho.
I say unto thee, Thou shalt by no means come out thence, till thou have paid the very last mite.
