Luuka 12
1 ku nsiki ughuo ilipugha likome lya vaanhu lilyakong'hanile palikimo, na pitengula pikanyana, akatengula pijova na vavulanisivua vake taasi,” mulolelelaghe ni kulule kya vasarisayi kino kye kitule”
In the meantime, a crowd of many thousands had gathered, so that they were trampling one another. Jesus began to speak first to His disciples: “Beware of the leaven of the Pharisees, which is hypocrisy.
2 na piliva nu sino sifisime sino nasilikagulika, nambe ilisio lino lifisime lino nalilikagulika.
There is nothing concealed that will not be disclosed, and nothing hidden that will not be made known.
3 lyolyoni lino mukajovile mu ng'isi lilipulikika pavwelu. soni sino mwapwepagha mu mbughulutu nkate ja fyumba finu ifya munkate fino fidindilue ghilipulisivua munkyanya mu mapala gha nyumba.
What you have spoken in the dark will be heard in the daylight, and what you have whispered in the inner rooms will be proclaimed from the housetops.
4 nikuvavula vamanyani vango, namungavoghopaghe vala vano vibuda um'bili neke vasila kimonga ikinge ikyakuvomba,
I tell you, My friends, do not be afraid of those who kill the body and after that can do no more.
5 neke nikuvavula juno munoghile kukumwoghopa, mumwoghopaghe jula juno kyale abudile ali nuvutavulua vwa kuvatagha kulina lya mwoto. Ena nikuvavula umue, mumwoghopaghe ujuo. (Geenna g1067)
But I will show you whom you should fear: Fear the One who, after you have been killed, has authority to throw you into hell. Yes, I tell you, fear Him! (Geenna g1067)
6 asi! utujuni tuhaano natughusivua ku ndalama ivili? nambe ndikio nakwale nambe jumo mu veene juno ili shemulua pa vulongo pa Nguluve,
Are not five sparrows sold for two pennies? Yet not one of them is forgotten by God.
7 neke mukagule kuuti, ilinyele lya matu ghinu silivavilua, namungoghopaghe. umue muli va lutalama lukome kukila utujuni twinga.
And even the very hairs of your head are all numbered. So do not be afraid; you are worth more than many sparrows.
8 nikuvavula ghweni juno ikunyupila pavulongolo pa vaanhu, umwana ghwa muunhu ikumwupila pavullongolo pa vanyaMhola vw Nguluve.
I tell you, everyone who confesses Me before men, the Son of Man will also confess him before the angels of God.
9 neke ghweni juno ikung'ana une pa vulongola pa vaanhu ghwope ikanwa pa vulongolo pa vanyaMhola va Nguluve.
But whoever denies Me before men will be denied before the angels of God.
10 ghweni juno ijovela imbivi mwa mwana ghwa muunhu, ilisaghilua, neke ghweni juno ikumuligha uMhepo uMwimike nalisaghilua.
And everyone who speaks a word against the Son of Man will be forgiven, but whoever blasphemes against the Holy Spirit will not be forgiven.
11 kyande vikuvatwala kuvulongolo pa vavaha va nyumba inyimike ja kufunyila, avatemi na vanya vutavulua, namungoghopaghe mulakujivavila nambe ndavule kino kyalnde mujova,
When you are brought before synagogues, rulers, and authorities, do not worry about how to defend yourselves or what to say.
12 ulwakuva uMhepo uMwimike ikuvavulanisia vule kya mujova ku nsiki ughuo”
For at that time the Holy Spirit will teach you what you should say.”
13 umuunhu jumonga mulipugha akam'bula akati, “m'bulanisi, m'bule unyalukolo ghwango anighavile ulubale lwa vuhaasi vwango.
Someone in the crowd said to Him, “Teacher, tell my brother to divide the inheritance with me.”
14 uYesu akamwamula akati, “ghweveni juno am'bikile kuva mulamusi na kusambania mu lyumue?”
But Jesus replied, “Man, who appointed Me judge or executor between you?”
15 pe pano akavavula, mujilolelelaghe ni fyoni ifya vunoghelua, ulwakuva uvwumi vwa muunhu na vuli muvwinga vwa finu fino alinafyo.
And He said to them, “Watch out! Guard yourselves against every form of greed, for one’s life does not consist in the abundance of his possessions.”
16 uYesu akavavula ikihwani akati, umughunda hwa mofu jumonga ghulyaholile fiijo,
Then He told them a parable: “The ground of a certain rich man produced an abundance.
17 akiposia jujuo mu mwoojo ghwake akati, nivomba ndani ulwakuva nilinsila apakuvika imeto jango?
So he thought to himself, ‘What shall I do, since I have nowhere to store my crops?’
18 akati, nivomba ndiki. nidenya ifihenge fyango ifidebe nijenga ikikome. nivika imeto jango joni ni finu ifinge.
Then he said, ‘This is what I will do: I will tear down my barns and will build bigger ones, and there I will store up all my grain and my goods.
19 nikujivula inumbula jango, Numbula ghujivikile ifinu finga ku maka minga. puma ulie, unyue na kuhovokela”
Then I will say to myself, “You have plenty of good things laid up for many years. Take it easy. Eat, drink, and be merry!”’
20 neke uNguluve akavavula akati, ghwe muunhu mpumbafu, ikilo ja musyughu vilonda inumbula kuhuma kulyuve. ni finu fyoni finoghuling'anisie fiiva fyani?
But God said to him, ‘You fool! This very night your life will be required of you. Then who will own what you have accumulated?’
21 fye luliiva kwa muunhu ghweni juno ikujivikila ikyuma kisila kukuling'ania vwimila Mutwa.
This is how it will be for anyone who stores up treasure for himself but is not rich toward God.”
22 uYesu akavavula avavulanisivua vaake, pe lino nikuvavula namungasaghaghe mu vwumi vwinu - kuva mulisagha kiki mumavili ghinu - kuva mufwalagha kiki.
Then Jesus said to His disciples, “Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat, or about your body, what you will wear.
23 ulwakuva uvwumi vwe kukila ikyakulia, nu m'bili ghwe kukila amenda
For life is more than food, and the body more than clothes.
24 lolagha injuni isa kukyanya, nasilima nambe nasipeta. sisila nyumba nambe ifihenge ifya kuvikila. neke ubaba ghwinu ikusilisia. umue namuli kukila injuni!
Consider the ravens: They do not sow or reap, they have no storehouse or barn; yet God feeds them. How much more valuable you are than the birds!
25 ghwe veni kulyumue juno ikujipumusia kukwongelesia idhiraa jimo mu vwumi vwake?
Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to his life?
26 pe namuwesia kuvomba ikinu ikidbe ikio kino kuhugu, pe kiki lino kuhangajikila isinge isio?
So if you cannot do such a small thing, why do you worry about the rest?
27 lolagha amaluva - finoghikula. naghivomba imbombo nambe kuhona amenda ghake agha kufwala. neke nikuvavula, nambe uSolomoni mu vwimike vwake vwoni nakafwalile ndavule jumonga mu agha,
Consider how the lilies grow: They do not labor or spin. Yet I tell you, not even Solomon in all his glory was adorned like one of these.
28 nave uNguluve ikughafwasia vunono amatundu gha mufivonde, ghano kweghale umusyungu nu lwakilavo ghitaghua ku mwoto. pe nakukila ikuvafwasia umue? umue mwe vanya lwitiko ludebe!
If that is how God clothes the grass of the field, which is here today and tomorrow is thrown into the furnace, how much more will He clothe you, O you of little faith!
29 namungajihangajisiaghe kwiti mulia kiki nambe munyua kiki, nambe namungavisaghe nu vwoghofi.
And do not be concerned about what you will eat or drink. Do not worry about it.
30 ulwakuva iisi sooni sihangajikila aghuo. nu Nhaata ghwinu ikagula sino munoghile isio.
For the Gentiles of the world strive after all these things, and your Father knows that you need them.
31 neke mulondaghe uvutwa vwake taasi, na ghange aghuo mukwongelesevua,
But seek His kingdom, and these things will be added unto you.
32 namungoghopaghe, mwe lipugha lidebe, ulwakuva uNhaata ghwinu ihovokela kukuvapela umue uvutwa uvuo.
Do not be afraid, little flock, for your Father is pleased to give you the kingdom.
33 musghusiaghe ifyuma fiinu na kukuvapela avakotofu, mujivikile amafuko ghano naghisila - uvutile vwa kukyanya vuno navusila, ulubale luno avalyasi navangavele nambe inondo nasingawesie kunangania.
Sell your possessions and give to the poor. Provide yourselves with purses that will not wear out, an inexhaustible treasure in heaven, where no thief approaches and no moth destroys.
34 ulwakuva pano pwevule uvutile vwako, pepene najinumbula jako pwejiliva.
For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.
35 amenda ghinu amatali ghavisaghe ghapinyilue na makanda, ni taala sinu sighendelelaghe kuuva siviika,
Be dressed for service and keep your lamps burning.
36 kange muvisaghe hwene vaanhu vano vikumuhuvila uMutwa ghuvanave kuhuma ku kikulukulu kya vutolani, neke kuuti angise na kuhodesia, van'dindulile umulyango ng'ani ng'ani.
Then you will be like servants waiting for their master to return from the wedding banquet, so that when he comes and knocks, they can open the door for him at once.
37 vafunyilue avavombi vala vano uMutwa ukuvagha vali maaso. kyang'haani ilipinya umwenda ghwake untali nu nkanda, pepano ikuvakalisia paasi ku kyakulia, kange kukuvavombela inofu.
Blessed are those servants whom the master finds on watch when he returns. Truly I tell you, he will dress himself to serve and will have them recline at the table, and he himself will come and wait on them.
38 nave uMutwa ikwisa ku lwa vuvili vwa vulolelesi vwa pakilo, nambe uvulolelesi uvwa kilo ja vutatu, na kukuvagha viling'inie jiiva je kiiva ku vavombi avuo.
Even if he comes in the second or third watch of the night and finds them alert, those servants will be blessed.
39 kukila aghuo, mukagule ili, nave untwa unya nyumba asakagula unsiki ghuno umulyasi ale ikwisa, naale ikwitika inyumba jaake jidenyue.
But understand this: If the homeowner had known at what hour the thief was coming, he would not have let his house be broken into.
40 muvisaghe muling'anisie ulwakuva namukagula ghwe nsiki muuki umwana ghwa muunhu igomoka.
You also must be ready, because the Son of Man will come at an hour you do not expect.”
41 uPeteli akati, “Mutwa ghukutuvula jusue isi ku kihwanikisio au ghukum'bula umuunhu ghweni?
“Lord,” said Peter, “are You addressing this parable to us, or to everyone else as well?”
42 uMutwa akavavula, “ghwe nsung'ua veni umugholofu nambe unya vukoola juno untwa ghwake ikum'bika pa kyanya pa vavombombi avange, neke avaghavile ikyakulia kyave ku nsiki ghuno ghunoghiile?
And the Lord answered, “Who then is the faithful and wise manager, whom the master puts in charge of his servants to give them their portion at the proper time?
43 afunyilue um'bombi jula, juno untwa ghwake angiise ikumwagha ivomba sila sino alaghisivue.
Blessed is that servant whose master finds him doing so when he returns.
44 kyang'haani nikuvavula umue kuuti ikum'biika pakyanya pa kyuma kyake kyoni.
Truly I tell you, he will put him in charge of all his possessions.
45 neke um'bombi jula akatisagha mu mwoojo ghwake, untwa ghwango idila kugomoka, pe akatengula kukuvatova avavombi avakinhaata vala na vakijuuva, pe baho akatengula kulia, kunyua na kughala,
But suppose that servant says in his heart, ‘My master will be a long time in coming,’ and he begins to beat the menservants and maidservants, and to eat and drink and get drunk.
46 untwa ghwa m'bombi jula ikwisa ku kighono kino naakagwile nisala jino naikujikaguala, ghwope ilikun'dumulania na kukum'bika palikimo na vano navagholofu.
The master of that servant will come on a day he does not expect and at an hour he does not anticipate. Then he will cut him to pieces and assign him a place with the unbelievers.
47 um'bombi juno ikagula ulughano lwa ntwa ghwake, ghwope naikuling'hania nambe kuvomba sino sinoghiile mu lungano lwa ntwa ghwake ikopua ing'wegho nyinga.
That servant who knows his master’s will but does not get ready or follow his instructions will be beaten with many blows.
48 neke um'bombi juno naasikagwile sino sinoghile ku lughano lwa ntwa ghwake, neke ivomba sino sinoghile ujuo ipelua finga, finga idajivua kuhuma kwa mwene, ghwope juno akeelilue ku finga, kwa mwene fidajivua finga kukila.
But the one who unknowingly does things worthy of punishment will be beaten with few blows. From everyone who has been given much, much will be required; and from him who has been entrusted with much, even more will be demanded.
49 nisile kukunga umwoto pa iisi, kange ninoghelua kuuti ghuve ghuvikiile,
I have come to ignite a fire on the earth, and how I wish it were already kindled!
50 neke nili nu lwofugho luno nikuvofua, kange nili nulusukualo kuhanga pano luva luvombike!
But I have a baptism to undergo, and how distressed I am until it is accomplished!
51 pe musagha kuuti nisile nu lutengano mu iisi? Ndali, nikuvavula, pepano nisile kuleta uvusulani.
Do you think that I have come to bring peace to the earth? No, I tell you, but division.
52 kutengula lino na kughendelela kuliiva na vaanhu vahaano vasuline mu nyumba jimo, na vatatu
From now on, five in one household will be divided, three against two and two against three.
53 visulanagha na vavili, vope vavili visulanagha na vatatu. visulana ubaba nu, nswambe, umwana nu viise, umama nu mwalive, umwalive nu ng'iina, unkamwana naipulig'hanagha nu nkwamwana n'jake.
They will be divided, 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 uYesu akava ikulivula kange ilipugha, kyande muvona amafunde ghikong'ana, mwiti amasiki gha fula ghalipipi; fye luuva,
Then Jesus said to the crowds, “As soon as you see a cloud rising in the west, you say, ‘A shower is coming,’ and that is what happens.
55 kange mungavone imhepo jipula kuhuma kumavemba mwiti litapiiva lifuke lweli fye luuva.
And when the south wind blows, you say, ‘It will be hot,’ and it is.
56 umue mwe vakedusi, mukagwile kuluvulania amasiki! lino! kiki mukunua kukughutang'ania umuluvo ghwa sino sivombeka ifighono ifi?
You hypocrites! You know how to interpret the appearance of the earth and sky. Why don’t you know how to interpret the present time?
57 kiki umuunhu ghweni mu lyumue naikagula lino linono kuvomba kwa mwene unsiki ghuno ndeali ni nafasi ija kuvomba isio?
And why don’t you judge for yourselves what is right?
58 ulwakuva mungalute nu muhigi ghwako pavulongolo pa muhighi, jitange kusambana na juno ikukuhigha nambe pano muli musila alwakutwala kwa muhighi, nu muhighi alakutwala kwa m'baha, nu m'baha alakutagha kundinde.
Make every effort to reconcile with your adversary while you are on your way to the magistrate. Otherwise, he may drag you off to the judge, and the judge may hand you over to the officer, and the officer may throw you into prison.
59 nikukuvula nulahuma ukuo kuhanga uhombile nambe i ndalama ja vusililo.
I tell you, you will not get out until you have paid the very last penny.”
