Luke 12
1 Ó sì ṣe, nígbà tí àìníye ìjọ ènìyàn péjọpọ̀, tó bẹ́ẹ̀ tí wọn ń tẹ ara wọn mọ́lẹ̀, ó bẹ̀rẹ̀ sísọ fún àwọn ọmọ-ẹ̀yìn rẹ̀ pé, “Ẹ máa ṣọ́ra yín nítorí ìwúkàrà àwọn Farisi tí í ṣe àgàbàgebè.
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 Kò sí ohun tí a bò, tí a kì yóò sì fihàn; tàbí tí ó pamọ́, tí a kì yóò mọ̀.
and there is nothing covered that will not be revealed, and hid that will not be known;
3 Nítorí náà ohunkóhun tí ẹ̀yin sọ ní òkùnkùn, ní gbangba ni a ó ti gbọ́ ọ; àti ohun tí ẹ̀yin bá sọ sí etí ní iyàrá, lórí òrùlé ni a ó ti kéde rẹ̀.
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 “Èmi sì wí fún yín ẹ̀yin ọ̀rẹ́ mi, ẹ má ṣe bẹ̀rù àwọn tí ó ń pa ara ènìyàn kú, lẹ́yìn èyí, wọn kò sì ní èyí tí wọ́n lè ṣe mọ́.
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 Ṣùgbọ́n èmi ó sì sọ ẹni tí ẹ̀yin ó bẹ̀rù fún yín: Ẹ bẹ̀rù ẹni tí ó lágbára lẹ́yìn tí ó bá pànìyàn tan, láti wọ́ ni lọ sí ọ̀run àpáàdì. Lóòótọ́ ni mo wí fún yín òun ni kí ẹ bẹ̀rù. (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 Ológoṣẹ́ márùn-ún sá à ni a ń tà ní owó idẹ wẹ́wẹ́ méjì? A kò sì gbàgbé ọ̀kan nínú wọn níwájú Ọlọ́run?
Are not five sparrows sold for two assaria? And one of them is not forgotten before God,
7 Ṣùgbọ́n gbogbo irun orí yín ni a kà pé ṣánṣán. Nítorí náà kí ẹ má ṣe bẹ̀rù, ẹ̀yin ní iye lórí ju ológoṣẹ́ púpọ̀ lọ.
but even the hairs of your head have all been numbered; therefore do not fear, you are of more value than many sparrows.
8 “Mo sì wí fún yín pẹ̀lú, Ẹnikẹ́ni tí ó bá jẹ́wọ́ mi níwájú àwọn ènìyàn. Ọmọ Ènìyàn yóò sì jẹ́wọ́ rẹ̀ níwájú àwọn angẹli Ọlọ́run.
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 Ṣùgbọ́n ẹni tí ó bá sẹ́ mi níwájú ènìyàn, a ó sẹ́ ẹ níwájú àwọn angẹli Ọlọ́run.
and he who has denied Me before men, will be denied before the messengers of God,
10 Àti ẹnikẹ́ni tí ó bá sọ̀rọ̀-òdì sí Ọmọ Ènìyàn, a ó dárí rẹ̀ jì í; ṣùgbọ́n ẹnikẹ́ni tí ó bá sọ̀rọ̀-òdì sí Ẹ̀mí Mímọ́, a kì yóò dárí rẹ̀ jì í.
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 “Nígbà tí wọ́n bá sì mú yin wá sí Sinagọgu, àti síwájú àwọn olórí, àti àwọn aláṣẹ, ẹ má ṣe ṣàníyàn pé, báwo tàbí ohun kín ni ẹ̀yin yóò fèsì rẹ̀ tàbí kín ni ẹ̀yin ó wí.
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 Nítorí Ẹ̀mí Mímọ́ yóò kọ́ yín ní wákàtí kan náà ní ohun tí ó yẹ kí ẹ sọ.”
for the Holy Spirit will teach you in that hour what [you] should say.”
13 Ọ̀kan nínú àwùjọ wí fún un pé, “Olùkọ́, sọ fún arákùnrin mi kí ó pín mi ní ogún.”
And a certain one out of the multitude said to Him, “Teacher, say to my brother to divide with me the inheritance.”
14 Ó sì wí fún un pé, “Ọkùnrin yìí, ta ni ó fi mí jẹ onídàájọ́ tàbí olùpíngún fún yín?”
And He said to him, “Man, who set Me a judge or a divider over you?”
15 Ó sì wí fún wọn pé, “Kíyèsára kí o sì máa ṣọ́ra nítorí ojúkòkòrò: nítorí ìgbésí ayé ènìyàn kò dúró lé ọ̀pọ̀ ohun tí ó ní.”
And He said to them, “Observe, and beware of the covetousness, because his life is not in the abundance of one’s goods.”
16 Ó sì pa òwe kan fún wọn pé, “Ilẹ̀ ọkùnrin ọlọ́rọ̀ so ọ̀pọ̀lọpọ̀ èso.
And He spoke an allegory to them, saying, “Of a certain rich man the field brought forth well;
17 Ó sì rò nínú ara rẹ̀ pé, ‘Èmi ó ti ṣe, nítorí tí èmi kò ní ibi tí èmi ó gbé kó èso mi jọ sí.’
and he was reasoning within himself, saying, What will I do, because I have nowhere I will gather together my fruits?
18 “Ó sì wí pé, ‘Èyí ni èmi ó ṣe: èmi ó wó àká mi palẹ̀, èmi ó sì kọ́ èyí tí ó tóbi; níbẹ̀ ni èmi ó gbé to gbogbo èso àti ọrọ̀ mi jọ sí.
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 Èmi ó sì wí fún ọkàn mi pé, ọkàn, ìwọ ní ọrọ̀ púpọ̀ tí a tò jọ fún ọ̀pọ̀ ọdún; sinmi, máa jẹ, máa mu, máa yọ̀.’
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 “Ṣùgbọ́n Ọlọ́run wí fún un pé, ‘Ìwọ aṣiwèrè, lóru yìí ni a ó béèrè ọkàn rẹ lọ́wọ́ rẹ; ǹjẹ́ ti ta ni nǹkan wọ̀nyí yóò ha ṣe, tí ìwọ ti pèsè sílẹ̀?’
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 “Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni ẹni tí ó to ìṣúra jọ fún ara rẹ̀, tí kò sì ní ọrọ̀ lọ́dọ̀ Ọlọ́run.”
So [is] he who is treasuring up to himself, and is not rich toward God.”
22 Jesu sì wí fún àwọn ọmọ-ẹ̀yìn rẹ̀ pé, “Nítorí náà mo wí fún yín pé, ẹ má ṣe ṣe àníyàn nítorí ẹ̀mí yín pé, kín ni ẹ̀yin yóò jẹ tàbí nípa ara yin pe kín ni ẹyin o fi bora.
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 Ẹ̀mí sá à ju oúnjẹ lọ, ara sì ju aṣọ lọ.
life is more than nourishment, and the body than clothing.
24 Ẹ kíyèsi àwọn ẹyẹ ìwò: wọn kì í fúnrúgbìn, bẹ́ẹ̀ ni wọn kì í kórè: wọn kò ní àká, bẹ́ẹ̀ ni wọn kò ní abà, Ọlọ́run sá à ń bọ́ wọn: mélòó mélòó ni tí ẹ̀yin fi sàn ju ẹyẹ lọ!
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 Ta ni nínú yín nípa àníyàn ṣíṣe tí ó lè fi ìgbọ̀nwọ́ kan kún ọjọ́ ayé rẹ̀?
And who of you, being anxious, is able to add to his age one cubit?
26 Ǹjẹ́ bí ẹ̀yin kò ti lè ṣe èyí tí ó kéré bí eléyìí, èéṣe tí ẹ̀yin fi ń ṣàníyàn nítorí ìyókù?
If, then, you are not able for the least—why are you anxious for the rest?
27 “Ẹ kíyèsi àwọn lílì bí wọ́n ti ń dàgbà; wọn kì í ṣiṣẹ́, wọn kì í rànwú; ṣùgbọ́n kí èmi wí fún yín, a kò ṣe Solomoni pàápàá lọ́ṣọ̀ọ́ ní gbogbo ògo rẹ̀ tó ọ̀kan nínú ìwọ̀nyí.
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 Ǹjẹ́ bí Ọlọ́run bá wọ koríko igbó ní aṣọ tó bẹ́ẹ̀ èyí tí ó wà lónìí, tí a sì gbá a sínú iná lọ́la: mélòó mélòó ni yóò wọ̀ yín láṣọ, ẹ̀yin onígbàgbọ́ kékeré.
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 Kí ẹ má sì ṣe lé ohun tí ẹ ó jẹ, tàbí ohun tí ẹ ó mu, kí ẹ má sì ṣe ṣe àníyàn nínú ọkàn.
And you—do not seek what you may eat, or what you may drink, and do not be in suspense,
30 Nítorí gbogbo nǹkan wọ̀nyí ni àwọn orílẹ̀-èdè ayé ń wá kiri. Baba yín sì mọ̀ pé, ẹ̀yin ń fẹ́ nǹkan wọ̀nyí.
for the nations of the world seek after all these things, and your Father has known that you have need of these things;
31 Ṣùgbọ́n ẹ máa wá ìjọba Ọlọ́run, gbogbo nǹkan wọ̀nyí ni a ó sì fi kún un fún yín.
but seek the Kingdom of God, and all these things will be added to you.
32 “Má bẹ̀rù, agbo kékeré, nítorí dídùn inú Baba yín ni láti fi ìjọba fún yín.
Do not fear, little flock, because your Father delighted to give you the kingdom;
33 Ẹ ta ohun tí ẹ̀yin ní, kí ẹ sì tọrẹ àánú kí ẹ sì pèsè àpò fún ara yín, tí kì í gbó, ìṣúra ní ọ̀run tí kì í tán, ní ibi tí olè kò lè súnmọ́, àti ibi tí kòkòrò kì í bà á jẹ́.
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 Nítorí ní ibi tí ìṣúra yín gbé wà, níbẹ̀ ni ọkàn yín yóò gbé wà pẹ̀lú.
for where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.
35 “Ẹ di àmùrè yín, kí fìtílà yín sì máa jó.
Let your loins be girded, and the lamps burning,
36 Kí ẹ̀yin tìkára yín dàbí ẹni tí ń retí olúwa wọn, nígbà tí òun ó padà ti ibi ìgbéyàwó dé, pé nígbà tí ó bá dé, tí ó sì kànkùn, kí wọn lè ṣí i sílẹ̀ fún un lọ́gán.
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 Ìbùkún ni fún àwọn ọmọ ọ̀dọ̀ náà nígbà tí olúwa náà bá dé tí yóò bá wọn tí wọn ń ṣọ́nà; lóòótọ́ ni mo wí fún yín, yóò di ara rẹ̀ ní àmùrè yóò sì mú wọn jókòó láti jẹun, yóò sì jáde wá láti ṣe ìránṣẹ́ fún wọn.
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 Bí olúwa wọn bá sì dé nígbà ìṣọ́ kejì, tàbí tí ó sì dé nígbà ìṣọ́ kẹta, tí ó sì bá wọn bẹ́ẹ̀, ìbùkún ni fún àwọn ọmọ ọ̀dọ̀ náà.
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 Ṣùgbọ́n ẹ mọ èyí pé, baálé ilé ìbá mọ wákàtí tí olè yóò wá, òun ìbá máa ṣọ́nà, kì bá tí jẹ́ kí a já wọ inú ilé òun.
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 Nítorí náà, kí ẹ̀yin múra pẹ̀lú, nítorí Ọmọ Ènìyàn ń bọ̀ ní wákàtí tí ẹ̀yin kò nírètí.”
and you, then, become ready, because at the hour you do not think, the Son of Man comes.”
41 Peteru sì wí pé, “Olúwa, ìwọ pa òwe yìí fún wa, tàbí fún gbogbo ènìyàn?”
And Peter said to Him, “Lord, do You speak this allegory to us, or also to all?”
42 Olúwa sì dáhùn wí pé, “Ta ni olóòtítọ́ àti ọlọ́gbọ́n ìríjú náà, tí olúwa rẹ̀ fi jẹ olórí agbo ilé rẹ̀, láti máa fi ìwọ̀n oúnjẹ wọ́n fún wọn ní àkókò?
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 Ìbùkún ni fún ọmọ ọ̀dọ̀ náà, nígbà tí olúwa rẹ̀ bá dé, tí yóò bá a kí ó máa ṣe bẹ́ẹ̀.
Blessed that servant, whom his lord, having come, will find doing so;
44 Lóòótọ́ ni mo wí fún yín yóò fi jẹ olórí ohun gbogbo tí ó ní.
truly I say to you that he will set him over all his goods.
45 Ṣùgbọ́n bí ọmọ ọ̀dọ̀ náà bá wí ní ọkàn rẹ̀, pé, ‘Olúwa mi fi ìgbà bíbọ̀ rẹ̀ falẹ̀!’ Tí ó sì bẹ̀rẹ̀ sí í lu àwọn ìránṣẹ́kùnrin àti ìránṣẹ́bìnrin tí ó sì bẹ̀rẹ̀ sí í jẹ àti sí mu àmupara:
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 Olúwa ọmọ ọ̀dọ̀ náà yóò dé ní ọjọ́ tí kò retí rẹ̀, àti ní wákàtí tí kò dábàá, yóò sì jẹ ẹ́ ní yà gidigidi, yóò sì yan ipò rẹ̀ pẹ̀lú àwọn aláìgbàgbọ́.
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 “Àti ọmọ ọ̀dọ̀ náà, tí ó mọ ìfẹ́ olúwa rẹ̀, tí kò sì múra sílẹ̀, tí kò sì ṣe gẹ́gẹ́ bí ìfẹ́ rẹ̀, òun ni a ó nà púpọ̀.
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 Ṣùgbọ́n èyí tí kò mọ̀, tí ó ṣe ohun tí ó yẹ sí lílù, òun ni a ó lù níwọ̀n. Nítorí ẹnikẹ́ni tí a fún ní púpọ̀, lọ́dọ̀ rẹ̀ ni a ó gbé béèrè púpọ̀: lọ́dọ̀ ẹni tí a bá gbé fi púpọ̀ sí, lọ́dọ̀ rẹ ni a ó gbé béèrè sí i.
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 “Iná ni èmi wá láti sọ sí ayé; kín ni èmi sì ń fẹ́ bí kò ṣe kí iná náà ti jo!
I came to cast fire to the earth, and what I wish [is] if it were already kindled!
50 Ṣùgbọ́n èmi ní bamitiisi kan tí a ó fi bamitiisi mi; ara ti ń ni mí tó títí yóò fi parí!
But I have an immersion to be immersed with, and how I am pressed until it may be accomplished!
51 Ẹ̀yin ṣe bí àlàáfíà ni èmi fi sí ayé? Mo wí fún yín, bẹ́ẹ̀ kọ́; ṣùgbọ́n bí kò ṣe ìyapa.
Do you think that I came to give peace in the earth? No, I say to you, but rather division;
52 Nítorí láti ìsinsin yìí lọ, ènìyàn márùn-ún yóò wà ní ilé kan náà tí a ó yà ní ipa, mẹ́ta sí méjì, àti méjì sí mẹ́ta.
for there will be from now on five in one house divided—three against two, and two against three;
53 A ó ya baba nípa sí ọmọ rẹ̀ ọkùnrin, àti ọmọ ọkùnrin sí baba; ìyá sí ọmọbìnrin, àti ọmọbìnrin sí ìyá rẹ̀, ìyá ọkọ sí ìyàwó ọmọ, àti ìyàwó ọmọ sí ìyá ọkọ rẹ̀.”
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 Ó sì wí fún ìjọ ènìyàn pẹ̀lú pé, “Nígbà tí ẹ̀yin bá rí àwọsánmọ̀ tí ó ṣú ní ìhà ìwọ̀-oòrùn, lọ́gán ni ẹ̀yin yóò sọ pé, ‘Ọ̀wààrà òjò ń bọ̀,’ a sì rí bẹ́ẹ̀.
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 Nígbà tí afẹ́fẹ́ gúúsù bá ń fẹ́, ẹ̀yin á ní, ‘Oòrùn yóò mú,’ yóò sì ṣe bẹ́ẹ̀.
and when a south wind is blowing, you say that there will be heat, and it is;
56 Ẹ̀yin àgàbàgebè! Ẹ̀yin le mòye ojú ọ̀run àti ti ayé. Èéha ti ṣe tí ẹ̀yin kò mọ àkókò yìí?
hypocrites! You have known to discern the face of the earth and of the sky, but how do you not discern this time?
57 “Èéha ti ṣe tí ẹ̀yin tìkára yín kò fi ro ohun tí ó tọ́?
And why, also, of yourselves, do you not judge what is righteous?
58 Nígbà tí ìwọ bá bá ọ̀tá rẹ lọ sọ́dọ̀ onídàájọ́, rí i pé o bá a parí ọ̀rọ̀ ní ọ̀nà kí ó má ba à fà ọ́ fún adájọ́, adájọ́ a fi ọ́ lé ẹ̀ṣọ́ lọ́wọ́, òun a sì tì ọ́ sínú túbú.
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 Kí èmi wí fún ọ, ìwọ kì yóò jáde kúrò níbẹ̀, títí ìwọ ó fi san ẹyọ owó kan tí ó kù!”
I say to you, you may not come forth from there until even the last mite you may give back.”
