Lukas 12
1 Bizquitartean bildu içanic gendetze mulço handiac hambat non elkar aurizquiten baitzutén, has cequién erraiten bere discipuluey, Lehenic beguira çaitezte Phariseuén altchagarritic, cein baita hypocrisiá.
Meanwhile the people had gathered in thousands, so that they trod upon one another, when Jesus, addressing himself to his disciples, began by saying to them: “Be on your guard against the leaven — that is, the hypocrisy — of the Pharisees.
2 Ecen ezta deus estaliric aguerturen eztenic: ezeta deus secreturic iaquinen eztenic.
There is nothing, however covered up, which will not be uncovered, nor anything kept secret which will not become known.
3 Halacotz ilhumbean erran dituçuen gauçác, arguian ençunen dirade: eta beharrira gamberetan erran duçuena, predicaturen da etche gainetan.
Hence all that you have said in the dark will be heard in the light, and what you have spoken in the ear, within closed doors, will be proclaimed upon the housetops.
4 Eta diotsuet çuey neure adisquideoy, Etzaretela beldur gorputza hiltzen dutenén, eta guero ezpaitute cer guehiagoric eguin deçaten.
To you who are my friends I say, Do not be afraid of those who kill the body, but after that can do no more.
5 Baina eracutsiren drauçuet noren beldur behar çareten: çareten beldur, hil duqueenean gehennara egoiztecó authoritatea duenarén: are diotsuet, haren beldur çareten. (Geenna g1067)
I will show you of whom you should be afraid. Be afraid of him who, after killing you, has the power to fling you into the Pit. Yes, I say, be afraid of him. (Geenna g1067)
6 Eztira borz parra-chori bi dirutchotan saltzen, eta hetaric bat ezpaita ahanciric Iaincoaren aitzinean?
Are not five sparrows sold for a penny? Yet not one of them has escaped God’s notice.
7 Baina çuen buruco bilo guciac-ere contatuac dirade etzaretela beraz beldur: parra-chori araldeac baino guehiago balio duçue çuec.
No, the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Do not be afraid; you are of more value than many sparrows.
8 Badiotsuet bada, Norc-ere ni aithorturen bainau guiçonen aitzinean, guiçonaren Semeac-ere aithorturen du hura Iaincoaren Aingueruén aitzinean.
Every one, I tell you, who shall acknowledge me before his fellow men, the Son of Man, also, will acknowledge before God’s angels;
9 Baina ni guiçonén aitzinean vkaturen nauena, vkatua içanen da Iaincoaren Aingueruén aitzinean.
but he, who disowns me before his fellow men, will be altogether disowned before God’s angels.
10 Eta norc-ere erranen baitu hitzic guiçonaren Semearen contra barkaturen çayó hari: baina Spiritu sainduaren contra blasphematuren duenari, etzayó barkaturen.
Every one who shall say anything against the Son of Man will be forgiven, but for him who slanders the Holy Spirit there will be no forgiveness.
11 Eta eramanen çaituztenean synagoguetara, eta magistratuetara, eta potestatetara, eztuçuela ansiaric, nola edo cer ihardetsiren duçuen edo cer erranen.
Whenever they take you before the Synagogue Courts or the magistrates or other authorities, do not be anxious as to how you will defend yourselves, or what your defence will be, or what you will say;
12 Ecen Spiritu sainduac iracatsiren çaituzte ordu hartan berean, cer erran behar daten.
for the Holy Spirit will show you at the moment what you ought to say.”
13 Eta erran cieçón gendetzecoetaric batec, Magistruá, erróc ene anayeri parti deçan enequin heretagea.
“Teacher,” a man in the crowd said to Jesus, “tell my brother to share the property with me.”
14 Baina harc erran cieçón, Guiçoná, norc eçarri nau ni iuge, edo partitzale çuen gainean?
But Jesus said to him: “Man, who made me a judge or an arbiter between you?”
15 Guero erran cieçón, Ikussaçue, eta beguira çaitezte auaritiatic: ecen cembeitec onhassunez abundantia badu-ere, bere vicia eztu bere onetaric.
And then he added: “Take care to keep yourselves free from every form of covetousness; for even in the height of his prosperity a man’s true Life does not depend on what he has.”
16 Eta erran ciecén comparationebat, cioela, Guiçon abrats baten landéc abundantqui fructu ekarri vkan duté:
Then Jesus told them this parable — “There was once a rich man whose land was very fertile;
17 Eta gogueta eguiten çuen bere baithan, cioela, Cer eguinen dut? ecen eztut nora bil ditzadan neure fructuac.
and he began to ask himself ‘What shall I do, for I have nowhere to store my crops?
18 Eta erran ceçan, Haur eguinen dut: deseguinen ditut neure granerac, eta handiagoac eguinen ditut: eta hara bilduren ditut neure fructu guciac, eta neure onac.
This is what I will do,’ he said; ‘I will pull down my barns and build larger ones, and store all my grain and my goods in them;
19 Eta erranen draucat neure arimari, Arimá, badituc on handiac anhitz vrthetacozat bilduac: reposa adi, ian eçac, edan eçac, eta atseguin har eçac.
and I will say to myself, Now you have plenty of good things put by for many years; take your ease, eat, drink, and enjoy yourself.’
20 Baina erran cieçón Iaincoac, Erhoá, gaurco gauèan eure arimá edequiren çaic: eta dituán gauçác, noren içanen dirade?
But God said to the man ‘Fool! This very night your life is being demanded; and as for all you have prepared — who will have it?’
21 Hala da onhassun handiac beretaco biltzen dituena, eta Iaincoa baithan abrats eztena.
So it is with those who lay by wealth for themselves and are not rich to the glory of God.”
22 Orduan erran ciecén bere discipuluey, Halacotz diotsuet, eztuçuen artharic çuen vicitzeaz, cer ianen duçuen: ez eta gorputzaz cerçaz veztituren çareten.
And Jesus said to his disciples: “That is why I say to you, Do not be anxious about the life here — what you can get to eat; nor yet about your body — what you can get to wear.
23 Vicia vianda baino guehiago da, eta gorputza abillamendua baino.
For life is more than food, and the body than its clothes.
24 Considera itzaçue beleac, ecen eztutela ereiten ez biltzen, eta hec eztuté sotoric ez graneric, eta Iaincoac hatzen ditu hec, cembatez çuec choriéc baino guehiago balio duçue?
Think of the ravens — they neither sow nor reap; they have neither storehouse nor barn; and yet God feeds them! And how much more precious are you than birds!
25 Eta norc çuetaric artha vkanez eratchequi ahal dieçaqueo bessobat bere handitassunari?
But which of you, by being anxious, can prolong his life a moment?
26 Bada baldin chipién dena-ere ecin badaguiçue, cer goiticoéz arthatsu çarete?
And, if you cannot do even the smallest thing, why be anxious about other things?
27 Consideraitzaçue floreac, nola handitzen diraden: eztirade nekatzen, eta eztute iruten: baina badiotsuet, are Salomon-ere bere gloria guciarequin eztela veztitu içan hetaric bat beçala.
Think of the lilies, and how they grow. They neither toil nor spin; yet, I tell you, even Solomon in all his splendour was not robed like one of these.
28 Bada baldin egun landán belhar dena, eta bihar labean eçarten dena Iaincoac hala inguru veztitzen badu, cembatez areago çuec fede chipitacoac
If, even in the field, God so clothes the grass which is living to-day and to-morrow will be thrown into the oven, how much more will he clothe you, O men of little faith!
29 Çuec beraz eztaguiçuela galderic cer ianen duçuen edo cer edanen: eta etzaiteztela dudán iar
And you — do not be always seeking what you can get to eat or what you can get to drink; and do not waver.
30 Ecen gauça hauc guciac munduco gendéc bilhatzen dituzté: baina çuen Aitac badaqui, ecen hauèn beharra baduçuela.
These are the things for which all the nations of the world are seeking, and your Father knows that you need them.
31 Bainaitzitic bilha eçaçue Iaincoaren resumá, eta gauça hauc guciac emanen çaizquiçue gaineraco.
No, seek his Kingdom, and these things shall be added for you.
32 Ezaicela beldur tropel chipiá, ecen çuen Aitaren placer ona içan da çuey resumaren emaitera.
So do not be afraid, my little flock, for your Father has been pleased to give you the Kingdom.
33 Sal itzaçue çuen onac, eta eman itzaçue elemosynatan. Eguin itzaçue ceurondaco çahartzen eztiraden mulsác, ceruètan thesaur nehoiz-ere falta eztaitembat: nora ohoinic ezpaita hurbiltzen, eta non cerrenec ezpaitu deseguiten.
Sell what belongs to you, and give in charity. Make yourselves purses that will not wear out — an inexhaustible treasure in Heaven, where no thief comes near, or moth works ruin.
34 Ecen non baita çuen thesaura, han içanen da çuen bihotza-ere.
For where your treasure is, there also will your heart be.
35 Bira çuen guerrunceac guerricatuac, eta çuen candelác irachequiac.
Make yourselves ready, with your lamps alight;
36 Eta çuec çareten noiz hayén nabussia ezteyetaric itzul daiten beguira dauden guiçonetarát irudi: dathorrenean, eta borthá bulka deçanean, bertan irequi deçotençát.
and be like men who are waiting for their Master’s return from his wedding, so that, when he comes and knocks, they may open the door for him at once.
37 Dohatsu dirade cerbitzari hec, cein dathorrenean nabussiac eridenen baititu iratzarriac: eguiaz diotsuet guerricaturen dela bera, eta mahainean iar eraciren dituela, eta aitzinaraturic cerbitzaturen dituela.
Happy are those servants whom, on his return, the Master will find watching. I tell you that he will make himself ready, and bid them take their places at table, and will come and wait upon them.
38 Eta baldin badathor bigarren veillán, eta heren veillán badathor, eta hala eriden ditzan: dohatsu dirade cerbitzari hec.
Whether it is late at night, or in the early morning that he comes, if he finds all as it should be, then happy are they.
39 Eta haur iaquiçue, ecen baldin baleaqui aitafamiliác cer orduz ohoina ethorteco licén, veilla leçaqueela, eta ezleçaqueela vtzi çulhatzera bere etchea.
This you do know, that, had the owner of the house known at what time the thief was coming, he would have been on the watch, and would not have let his house be broken into.
40 Çuec-ere bada çareten prest, ecen vste eztuçuen orduan guiçonaren Semea ethorriren da.
Do you also prepare, for when you are least expecting him the Son of Man will come.”
41 Orduan erran cieçón Pierrisec, Iauna, guri erraiten draucuc comparatione hori ala bay guciey-ere?
“Master,” said Peter, “are you telling this parable with reference to us or to every one?”
42 Eta erran ceçan Iaunac, Cein da despensér leyala eta çuhurra, nabussiac bere familiaren gaineco ordenatu duena, demborán ordinarioa deyençát?
“Who, then,” replied the Master, “is that trustworthy steward, the careful man, who will be placed by his master over his establishment, to give them their rations at the proper time?
43 Dohatsu da cerbitzari hura, dathorrinean nabussiac hala eguiten eridenen duena.
Happy will that servant be whom his master, when he comes home, shall find doing this.
44 Eguiazqui erraiten drauçuet, ecen duen guciaren gaineco eçarriren duela hura.
His master, I tell you, will put him in charge of the whole of his property.
45 Eta baldin erran badeça cerbitzari harc bere bihotzean, Berancen du ene nabussiac ethortera: eta has badadi cehatzen muthillén eta nescatoén, eta iaten eta edaten eta horditzen:
But should that servant say to himself ‘My master is a long time coming,’ and begin to beat the menservants and the maidservants, and to eat and drink and get drunk,
46 Ethorriren da cerbitzari haren nabussia, harc vste eztuen egunean, eta eztaquian orenean: eta bereciren du hura, eta haren partea infidelequin eçarriren.
that servant’s master will come on a day when he does not expect him, and at an hour of which he is unaware, and will flog him severely and assign him his place among the untrustworthy.
47 Eta bere nabussiaren vorondatea eçagutu duen cerbitzaria, eta ezpaita preparatu, eta ezpaitu haren vorondatearen araura eguin, cehaturen da anhitz vkaldiz:
The servant who knows his master’s wishes and yet does not prepare and act accordingly will receive many lashes;
48 Baina eçagutu eztuena, eta cehatu içateco mereci duqueen gauçac eguin dituena, cehaturen da vkaldi gutiz. Bada anhitz eman içan çayon guciari, anhitz galde eguinen çayó: eta beguiratzera anhitz eman içan çayonari, hambat guehiago galde eguinen çayó.
while one who does not know his master’s wishes, but acts so as to deserve a flogging, will receive but few. From every one to whom much has been given much will be expected, and from the man to whom much has been entrusted the more will be demanded.
49 Suaren emaitera ethorri naiz lurrera: eta cer nahi dut guehiago baldin ia irachequia bada?
I came to cast fire upon the earth; and what more can I wish, if it is already kindled?
50 Baina baptismo batez batheyatzeco naiz, eta nola hertsen naiz haur compli daiten artean?
There is a baptism that I must undergo, and how great is my distress until it is over!
51 Vste duçue ecen lurrean baquearen eçartera ethorri naicela? ez, diotsuet, baina diuisionearen.
Do you think that I am here to give peace on earth? No, I tell you, but to cause division.
52 Ecen hemendic harát içanen dirade borz etche batetan diuisionetan diratenic, hirurac bién contra, eta biac hirurén contra.
For from this time, if there are five people in a house, they will be divided, three against two, and two against three.
53 Diuisionetan içanen da aitá semearen contra, eta semea aitaren contra: amá alabaren contra, eta alabá amaren contra: ama-guinharrebá bere errenaren contra, eta errena bere ama-guinharrebaren contra.
‘Father will be opposed to son and son to father, mother to daughter and daughter to mother, mother-in-law to her daughter-in-law and daughter-in-law to her mother-in-law.’”
54 Guero erraiten cerauen gendetzey-ere, Ikus deçaçuenean hodeybat altchatzen dela Occidentetic, bertan dioçue, vria heldu da: eta hala guerthatzen da.
And to the people Jesus said: “When you see a cloud rising in the west, you say at once ‘There is a storm coming,’ and come it does.
55 Eta hegoác draunsanean, erraiten duçue, ecen bero eguinen duela: eta hala guerthatzen da.
And when you see that the wind is in the south, you say ‘It will be burning hot,’ and so it proves.
56 Hypocritác, ceruären eta lurraren itchuraren iugeatzen daquiçue: eta dembora hunez nola eztuçue iugeatzen?
Hypocrites! You know how to judge of the earth and the sky; how is it, then, that you cannot judge of this time?
57 Eta nola ceuron buruz-ere eztuçue iugeatzen bide dena?
Why do not you yourselves decide what is right?
58 Bada ioaiten aicenean eure partida contrastarequin magistratuagana, enseya adi bidean haren menetic ilkiten: tira ezeçançat iugeagana, eta iugeac eman ieçon sargeantari, eta sargeantac eçar ezeçan presoindeguian.
When, for instance, you are going with your opponent before a magistrate, on your way to the court do your best to be quit of him; for fear that he should drag you before the judge, then the judge will hand you over to the bailiff of the court, and the bailiff throw you into prison.
59 Erraiten drauat, ezaiz ilkiren handic azquen pelata-ere renda diroqueano.
You will not, I tell you, come out until you have paid the very last farthing.”
