Luka 12
1 E kindeno, kane oganda mar ji mangʼeny maromo alufe ne osechokore, makoro ginyonore giwegi, Yesu nochako wuoyo mokwongo, ni jopuonjrene kowacho niya, “Beduru motangʼ ne thowi mar jo-Farisai, ma en wuondruok.
At which time the myriads of the multitude having been gathered together, so as to tread upon one another, he began to say unto his disciples, first, 'Take heed to yourselves of the leaven of the Pharisees, which is hypocrisy;
2 Onge gimoro mopandi ma ok nofweny, kata malingʼ-lingʼ ma ok nongʼere.
and there is nothing covered, that shall not be revealed; and hid, that shall not be known;
3 Gima usewacho e mudho biro winjore e odiechiengʼ e lela, kendo gima usekwodho e itu ei ot maiye nolandi ewi tat ot.
because whatever in the darkness ye said, in the light shall be heard: and what to the ear ye spake in the inner-chambers, shall be proclaimed upon the house-tops.
4 “Awachonu osiepena, kik uluor jogo manego ringruok to bangʼe onge gima ginyalo medo timo.
'And I say to you, my friends, be not afraid of those killing the body, and after these things are not having anything over to do;
5 To abiro nyisou jalno monego uluor: Luoruru jalno ma, bangʼ nego ringruok, to en gi teko mar witou e ataro mar mach. Ee, awachonu, luoreuru. (Geenna g1067)
but I will show to you, whom ye may fear; Fear him who, after the killing, is having authority to cast to the gehenna; yes, I say to you, Fear ye Him. (Geenna g1067)
6 Oyundi abich donge ingʼiewo otonglo ariyo kende? To kata kamano kata achiel kuomgi wi Nyasaye ok wilgo.
'Are not five sparrows sold for two assars? and one of them is not forgotten before God,
7 Chutho, kata mana yie wiu duto osekwan mongʼe kar rombgi. Kik uluor, nikech uloyo oyundi nyadi mangʼeny.
but even the hairs of your head have been all numbered; therefore fear ye not, than many sparrows ye are of more value.
8 “Awachonu, ngʼato angʼata mohulo ni ongʼeya e nyim ji, Wuod Dhano biro hulo ni angʼeye e nyim malaike mag Nyasaye.
'And I say to you, Every one — whoever may confess with me before men, the Son of Man also shall confess with him before the messengers of God,
9 To ngʼato angʼata mokweda e nyim ji en bende nokwede e nyim malaike mag Nyasaye.
and he who hath denied me before men, shall be denied before the messengers of God,
10 Kendo ngʼato angʼata mowacho wach moro marach kuom Wuod Dhano nowene, to ngʼato angʼata ma yanyo Roho Maler ok nowene richone.
and every one whoever shall say a word to the Son of Man, it shall be forgiven to him, but to him who to the Holy Spirit did speak evil, it shall not be forgiven.
11 “Kokelu e sinagogi, e nyim jodongo gi jotelo, to kik uparru kaka dudwok weche ma odonjnugo, kata gima duwachi,
'And when they bring you before the synagogues, and the rulers, and the authorities, be not anxious how or what ye may reply, or what ye may say,
12 nikech Roho Maler biro puonjou e sano gima onego uwachi.”
for the Holy Spirit shall teach you in that hour what it behoveth [you] to say.'
13 Ngʼat moro mane ni ei oganda nowachone niya, “Japuonj nyis owadwa mondo opogna mwanduna.”
And a certain one said to him, out of the multitude, 'Teacher, say to my brother to divide with me the inheritance.'
14 Yesu nodwoko niya, “Omera en ngʼa moketa jangʼad bura kata jathek e kindu?”
And he said to him, 'Man, who set me a judge or a divider over you?'
15 Eka nowachonegi niya, “Ritreuru! Beduru motangʼ ne kit wuoro duto; ngima mar dhano ok bedi nikech mwandu mathoth ma en-go.”
And he said unto them, 'Observe, and beware of the covetousness, because not in the abundance of one's goods is his life.'
16 Kendo nogoyonegi ngero moro ni: “Puoth ngʼat moro ma jamoko nochiek maber.
And he spake a simile unto them, saying, 'Of a certain rich man the field brought forth well;
17 Noparo e chunye ni, ‘Angʼo monego atim? Aonge kama dakanie chamba.’
and he was reasoning within himself, saying, What shall I do, because I have not where I shall gather together my fruits?
18 “Eka nowacho ni, ‘Ma e gima abiro timo. Abiro muko dechena kendo gero moko madongo, kendo abiro kano chamba duto gi gigena kanyo.
and he said, This I will do, I will take down my storehouses, and greater ones I will build, and I will gather together there all my products and my good things,
19 Eka anawach gie chunya niya, “Chunya in-gi gik mangʼeny mabeyo misekano moromi kuom higni mangʼeny. Koro ywe, chiem, methi kendo bed mamor.”’
and I will say to my soul, Soul, thou hast many good things laid up for many years, be resting, eat, drink, be merry.
20 “To Nyasaye nowachone ni, ‘In ngʼat mofuwoni! Kawuono gotienoni wangʼ nokaw ngimani. En ngʼa mabiro kawo mago miseloso ne in iwuon?’
'And God said to him, Unthinking one! this night thy soul they shall require from thee, and what things thou didst prepare — to whom shall they be?
21 “Mano e kaka nobed gi ngʼato angʼata mokano gik moko ne en owuon to ok omew e yor Nyasaye.”
so [is] he who is treasuring up to himself, and is not rich toward God.'
22 Eka Yesu nowachone jopuonjrene niya, “Emomiyo awachonu ni kik uparru kuom ngimau, kata kuom gik ma ubiro chamo, kata kuom dendu, kata gik ma ubiro rwako.
And he said unto his disciples, 'Because of this, to you I say, Be not anxious for your life, what ye may eat; nor for the body, what ye may put on;
23 Ngima duongʼ moloyo chiemo, kendo del duongʼ moloyo lewni.
the life is more than the nourishment, and the body than the clothing.
24 Paruruane winy ma ok chwo cham to bende ok gikee, gionge gi kuonde keno kata dere; to Nyasaye pod pidhogi apidha. To un donge uber moloyo winy.
'Consider the ravens, that they sow not, nor reap, to which there is no barn nor storehouse, and God doth nourish them; how much better are ye than the fowls?
25 En ngʼa kuomu ma parruok moparorego nyalo miyo omed bedo mangima kata mana kuom sa achiel kende?
and who of you, being anxious, is able to add to his age one cubit?
26 To kaka ok unyal timo mani matin-ni, angʼo momiyo uparoru kuom gik mamoko?
If, then, ye are not able for the least — why for the rest are ye anxious?
27 “Paruruane kaka ondanyo dongo. Ok ginyagre gi tich kata gi chwecho. To kata kamano awachonu ni kata mana Solomon e rwakruokne malich duto ne ok orwakore ka achiel kuomgi.
'Consider the lilies, how do they grow? they labour not, nor do they spin, and I say to you, not even Solomon in all his glory was arrayed as one of these;
28 Ka kamano e kaka Nyasaye rwako lum aluma manie pap, ma kawuono nitie to kiny iwite e mach, to koro un dorwaku, machal nade, yaye un joma yiegi tin-gi?
and if the herbage in the field, that to-day is, and to-morrow into an oven is cast, God doth so clothe, how much more you — ye of little faith?
29 Kendo kik uket chunyu kuom gima dicham kata madi madhi, kik uparru kuom mago.
'And ye — seek not what ye may eat, or what ye may drink, and be not in suspense,
30 Nimar jopiny ema chandore ka dwaro gigi duto, to bende Wuonu ongʼeyo ni udwaro gigi duto.
for all these things do the nations of the world seek after, and your Father hath known that ye have need of these things;
31 To dwaruru pinyruoth Nyasaye, eka gigi duto bende nomiu kaachiel gi mago.
but, seek ye the reign of God, and all these things shall be added to you.
32 “Kik uluor un kweth matin, nikech Wuonu mor mar miyou pinyruoth.
'Fear not, little flock, because your Father did delight to give you the reign;
33 Lok gigi iyudgo pesa mondo imi joma odhier. Dwaruru ofuke magu mikane pesa ma ok yiechi ma en mwandu manie polo ma ok rum kuma jakuo ok chopie kata olwenda ok kethi.
sell your goods, and give alms, make to yourselves bags that become not old, a treasure unfailing in the heavens, where thief doth not come near, nor moth destroy;
34 Nimar kama mwanduni nitie e kama chunyi bende nobedie.
for where your treasure is, there also your heart will be.
35 “Rwakreuru ka uikoru ne tich kendo techeu osik kaliel,
'Let your loins be girded, and the lamps burning,
36 ka joma rito ruodhgi maduogo koa e nyasi mar arus, mondo kobiro kendo oduongʼo to giyawone dhoot piyo.
and ye like to men waiting for their lord, when he shall return out of the wedding feasts, that he having come and knocked, immediately they may open to him.
37 Nobed maber ni jotich ma ruodhgi noyud karito e kinde modwogo. Awachonu adiera ni norwakre gi lawe mondo omigi chiemo, nomi gibed e mesa mi nobi mopognegi chiemo.
'Happy those servants, whom the lord, having come, shall find watching; verily I say to you, that he will gird himself, and will cause them to recline (at meat), and having come near, will minister to them;
38 Nobed maber ne jotije ma ruodhgi noyud ka oikore kata ka obiro e arita mar ariyo kata mar adek gotieno.
and if he may come in the second watch, and in the third watch he may come, and may find [it] so, happy are those servants.
39 To ngʼeuru ma maber ni ka dine wuon ot ngʼe ni kar sa adi ma jakuo biroe to dine ok oweyo ode otur gi jakuo.
'And this know, that if the master of the house had known what hour the thief doth come, he would have watched, and would not have suffered his house to be broken through;
40 Omiyo kamano e kaka un bende onego ubed moikore, nikech Wuod Dhano biro biro sa ma ok ungʼeyo.”
and ye, then, become ye ready, because at the hour ye think not, the Son of Man doth come.'
41 Petro nopenje niya, “Ruoth iwacho ngeroni ni wan koso ni ji duto?”
And Peter said to him, 'Sir, unto us this simile dost thou speak, or also unto all?'
42 To Ruoth nodwoko niya, “Kare jatich ma ja-adiera kendo ma jatelo mariek en ngʼa, ma ruodhe omiyo tich mar rito jotije ka miyogi chiembgi e sa mowinjore?
And the Lord said, 'Who, then, is the faithful and prudent steward whom the lord shall set over his household, to give in season the wheat measure?
43 Jatijno none ber ka ruodhe odwogo to noyude kotimo gima noweye notim.
Happy that servant, whom his lord, having come, shall find doing so;
44 Awachonu adier ni obiro kete jarit mwandune duto.
truly I say to you, that over all his goods he will set him.
45 To kapo ni jatijno owacho e chunye owuon ni, ‘Ruodha, okawo ndalo mathoth kapok odwogo,’ mi ochako goyo jotich machwo gi mon kendo owere ne chiemo gi metho, kod mer.
'And if that servant may say in his heart, My lord doth delay to come, and may begin to beat the men-servants and the maid-servants, to eat also, and to drink, and to be drunken;
46 Ruodh jatijno nobi e odiechiengʼ ma ok opar ni dobie kendo e sa ma ok ongʼeyo, enongʼade matindo tindo mi okete kaachiel gi joma ok oyie.
the lord of that servant will come in a day in which he doth not look for [him], and in an hour that he doth not know, and will cut him off, and his portion with the unfaithful he will appoint.
47 “Jatijno mongʼeyo dwaro mar ruodhe to ok otem timo gima ruodhe dwaro nochwad mangʼeny.
'And that servant, who having known his lord's will, and not having prepared, nor having gone according to his will, shall be beaten with many stripes,
48 To mano ma ok ongʼeyo to otimo gik mowinjore gi kum, to nochwad manok. Ngʼato ka ngʼato ma osemi mangʼeny nodwar kuome gik mangʼeny, to jal ma osemi mangʼeny mondo oriti, enopenje mangʼeny moloyo.
and he who, not having known, and having done things worthy of stripes, shall be beaten with few; and to every one to whom much was given, much shall be required from him; and to whom they did commit much, more abundantly they will ask of him.
49 “Asebiro mondo amok mach e piny, to mano kaka agombo ni mad ne bed ni osemoke!
'Fire I came to cast to the earth, and what will I if already it was kindled?
50 Nitie batiso monego ayudi. To mano kaka chunya chandore nyaka chop otimre!
but I have a baptism to be baptized with, and how am I pressed till it may be completed!
51 Uparo ni ne abiro mondo akel kwe e piny? Ooyo, to awachonu ni ne akelo mana pogruok.
'Think ye that peace I came to give in the earth? no, I say to you, but rather division;
52 Chakre kawuono kadhi nyime ji abich ma joot achiel biro pogore, ji adek odok kon achiel to ji ariyo bende nodog komachielo.
for there shall be henceforth five in one house divided — three against two, and two against three;
53 Gibiro pogore, wuoro nopogre gi wuode kendo wuowi bende nopogre gi wuon, miyo nopogre gi nyare to nyako bende nopogre gi min, dayo nopogre gi chi wuode, chi wuowi bende nopogre gi damare.”
a father shall 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 Nowacho ni oganda niya, “Kuneno ka boche polo chokore yo podho chiengʼ to piyo piyo uwacho ni, ‘Koth biro chue,’ to timore kamano!
And he said also to the multitudes, 'When ye may see the cloud rising from the west, immediately ye say, A shower doth come, and it is so;
55 Kendo ka yamb milambo kudho to uwacho ni oro biro to kamano e kaka timore.
and when — a south wind blowing, ye say, that there will be heat, and it is;
56 Andhokegi! Ka ulony kuom rango chal mar piny gi polo to angʼo momiyo ok unyal ngʼeyo gik matimore ndalogi?
hypocrites! the face of the earth and of the heaven ye have known to make proof of, but this time — how do ye not make proof of [it]?
57 “Angʼo mamonou ngʼado bura mar gima kare?
'And why, also, of yourselves, judge ye not what is righteous?
58 Ka idhi gi ngʼama odonjoni e nyim jangʼad bura, tem matek mondo iwuo kode kendo uwinjru kapod un e yo, nono to obiro ywayi koteri ir jangʼad bura, to jangʼad bura biro keti e lwet askari, to askari biro boli e od twech.
for, as thou art going away with thy opponent to the ruler, in the way give diligence to be released from him, lest he may drag thee unto the judge, and the judge may deliver thee to the officer, and the officer may cast thee into prison;
59 Awachoni ni ok niwuog oko nyaka ichul faini duto monego ichul ma ok orem kata ndururu.”
I say to thee, thou mayest not come forth thence till even the last mite thou mayest give back.'
