Luka 12
1 Wakati watu kwa maelfu walipokuwa wamekusanyika hata wakawa wanakanyagana, Yesu aliwaambia kwanza wanafunzi wake, “Jihadharini na chachu ya Mafarisayo, yaani unafiki.

3 Kwa hiyo, kila mliyosema gizani, watu watayasikia katika mwanga, na kila mliyonong'ona faraghani milango imefungwa, yatatangazwa juu ya nyumba.

4 “Nawaambieni ninyi rafiki zangu: msiwaogope wale wanaoua mwili, wasiweze kufanya kitu kingine zaidi.

5 Nitawaonyesheni yule ambaye ni lazima kumwogopa: mwogopeni yule ambaye baada ya kuua ana uwezo wa kumtupa mtu katika moto wa Jehanamu. Naam, ninawaambieni, mwogopeni huyo. (Geenna g1067)

6 Inajulikana kwamba shomoro watano huuzwa kwa senti kumi, au sivyo? Lakini mbele ya Mungu hasahauliki hata mmoja.

7 Lakini hata nywele za vichwa vyenu zimehesabiwa zote. Msiogope, basi, ninyi mna thamani zaidi kuliko shomoro wengi!

8 “Nawaambieni kweli, kila mtu anayekiri hadharani kwamba yeye ni wangu, Mwana wa Mtu naye atakiri mbele ya malaika wa Mungu kwamba mtu huyo ni wake.

9 Lakini, mtu yeyote anayenikana mbele ya watu, naye atakanwa mbele ya malaika wa Mungu.

10 “Yeyote anayesema neno la kumpinga Mwana wa Mtu atasamehewa; lakini anayemkufuru Roho Mtakatifu hatasamehewa.

11 “Watakapowapeleka ninyi mbele ya masunagogi na mbele ya wakuu na watawala msiwe na wasiwasi juu ya jinsi mtakavyojitetea au jinsi mtakavyosema.

13 Mtu mmoja katika ule umati wa watu akamwambia, “Mwalimu, mwambie ndugu yangu tugawane urithi aliotuachia baba.”

14 Yesu akamjibu, “Rafiki, ni nani aliyeniweka mimi mwamuzi au msuluhishi kati yenu?”

15 Basi, akawaambia wote, “Jihadharini na kila aina ya tamaa; maana uzima wa mtu hautegemei wingi wa vitu alivyo navyo.”

16 Kisha akawaambia mfano: “Kulikuwa na tajiri mmoja ambaye shamba lake lilizaa mavuno mengi.

17 Tajiri huyo akafikiri moyoni mwake: Nitafanyaje nami sina mahali pa kuhifadhia mavuno yangu?

18 Nitafanya hivi: nitabomoa ghala zangu na kujenga kubwa zaidi, na humo nitahifadhi mavuno yangu yote na mali yangu.

19 Hapo nitaweza kuiambia roho yangu: sasa unayo akiba ya matumizi kwa miaka na miaka. Ponda mali, ule, unywe na kufurahi.

20 Lakini Mungu akamwambia: Mpumbavu wewe; leo usiku roho yako itachukuliwa. Na vitu vile vyote ulivyojilundikia vitakuwa vya nani?”

21 Yesu akamaliza kwa kusema “Ndivyo ilivyo kwa mtu anayejilundikia mali kwa ajili yake mwenyewe, lakini si tajiri mbele ya Mungu.”

22 Kisha Yesu akawaambia wanafunzi wake, “Kwa sababu hiyo nawaambieni, msiwe na wasiwasi juu ya chakula mnachohitaji ili kuishi, wala juu ya mavazi mnayohitaji kwa ajili ya miili yenu.

23 Kwa sababu uzima ni bora kuliko chakula, na mwili ni bora kuliko mavazi.

24 Chukueni kwa mfano, kunguru: hawapandi, hawavuni wala hawana ghala yoyote. Hata hivyo, Mungu huwalisha. Ninyi mna thamani zaidi kuliko ndege!

26 Basi, kama hamwezi kufanya jambo dogo kama hilo, kwa nini kuwa na wasiwasi juu ya yale mengine?

27 Angalieni maua jinsi yanavyomea. Hayafanyi kazi wala hayafumi. Hata hivyo, nawahakikishieni kwamba hata Solomoni mwenyewe na fahari zake zote hakupata kuvikwa vizuri kama ua mojawapo.

28 Lakini, kama Mungu hulivika vizuri jani la shambani ambalo leo liko na kesho latupwa motoni, je, hatawafanyia ninyi zaidi? Enyi watu wenye imani haba!

30 Kwa maana hayo yote ndiyo yanayohangaikiwa na watu wasiomjua Mungu. Baba yenu anajua kwamba mnahitaji vitu hivyo.

33 Uzeni mali yenu mkawape maskini misaada. Jifanyieni mifuko isiyochakaa, na jiwekeeni hazina mbinguni ambako haitapungua. Huko wezi hawakaribii, wala nondo hawaharibu.
