Luke 12
1 Meanwhile, when a multitude of many thousands had gathered together, so much so that they trampled on each other, he began to tell his disciples first of all, “Beware of the yeast of the Pharisees, which is hypocrisy.
Katema kakoko ŵasongangene ŵandu ŵajinji mpaka kuliŵatana, Che Yesu ŵatandite kwasalila kaje ŵakulijiganya ŵao kuti, “Nlisepusye ni chilungo cha Mafalisayo, chachili cha ulamba.
2 But there is nothing covered up that will not be revealed, nor hidden that will not be known.
Ngachipagwa chachiunichikwe chingachiunukukwa ni chachisisikwe chingachimanyika.
3 Therefore whatever you have said in the darkness will be heard in the light. What you have spoken in the ear in the inner rooms will be proclaimed on the housetops.
Lyele ligongo lyo chachili chose chimwaŵechete pa chipi, ŵandu chapikane pa lilanguka ni chimwasongonaga pa chisyepela, muchumba cheugalikwe, chichijenele muchilambo chose.
4 “I tell you, my friends, do not be afraid of those who kill the body, and after that have no more that they can do.
“Ngunsalila ŵanyamwe achambusanga ŵangu kuti ngasimwajogopa ŵelewo ŵakuchiulaga chiilu nambo ngapagwa chakupunda chakuchikombola kuchipanganya.
5 But I will warn you whom you should fear. Fear him who after he has killed, has power to cast into Gehenna (Geenna g1067). Yes, I tell you, fear him.
Nambo chinannosye ŵakusachilwa kwajogopa, mwajogope Akunnungu pakuŵa amalaga kuulaga akwete ulamusi wakumponya ku jehanamu. Eloo, mwajogope ŵelewo. (Geenna g1067)
6 “Are not five sparrows sold for two assaria coins? Not one of them is forgotten by God.
“Ana ngati ikumanyika kuti ijojolo nsano ikusumichikwa kwa ndalama jajinandi nnope? Nambo ngapagwa chijuni chakuliŵalichikwa ni Akunnungu namuno chimo.
7 But the very hairs of your head are all counted. Therefore do not be afraid. You are of more value than many sparrows.
Atamuno umbo sya mitwe jenu Akunnungu akusimanyilila sili silingwa. Ngasinjogopa, ŵanyamwe ndi ŵakutopela kwannope kupunda ijojolo yejinji!
8 “I tell you, everyone who confesses me before men, the Son of Man will also confess before the angels of God;
“Ngunsalila isyene, jwalijose jwakunyitichisya une pa ŵandu kuti jwele ali jwangune, iyoyo peyo Mwana jwa Mundu chachinjitichisya jwelejo mmbujo mwa achikatumetume ŵa kwinani ŵa Akunnungu.
9 but he who denies me in the presence of men will be denied in the presence of God’s angels.
Nambo, jwalijose jwakungana une pa ŵandu, nombejo chakanikwe mmbujo mwa achikatumetume ŵa kwinani ŵa Akunnungu.
10 Everyone who speaks a word against the Son of Man will be forgiven, but those who blaspheme against the Holy Spirit will not be forgiven.
“Mundu jwalijose jwakwaŵechetela yangalumbana Mwana jwa Mundu chalecheleswe, nambo juchannyelusye Mbumu jwa Akunnungu, ngalecheleswa ng'oo.
11 When they bring you before the synagogues, the rulers, and the authorities, do not be anxious how or what you will answer or what you will say;
“Pachachinjigala kwa machili mmajumba ga kupopelela pane mmbujo mwa mamwenye ni ŵakulamula kuti nlamulikwe, nkapwelela kuti chinjanje chichi pane ichimmechete.
12 for the Holy Spirit will teach you in that same hour what you must say.”
Pakuŵa Mbumu jwa Akunnungu chanjiganye chakuŵecheta katema kakoko.”
13 One of the multitude said to him, “Teacher, tell my brother to divide the inheritance with me.”
Mundu jumo mumpingo wa ŵandu mula, ŵansalile Che Yesu kuti, “Jwakwiganya, mwasalile akulu ŵangu tusapulane ipanje yatulechele atati ŵetu.”
14 But he said to him, “Man, who made me a judge or an arbitrator over you?”
Che Yesu ŵajanjile, “Ambusanga, ana ŵaani ŵamisile une kuŵa jwakulamula pasikati jenu pane jwakungaŵanyichisya ipanje yenu?”
15 He said to them, “Beware! Keep yourselves from covetousness, for a man’s life does not consist of the abundance of the things which he possesses.”
Nipele ŵaasalile wose kuti, “Nlisepusye ni tama ja indu yejinji pakuŵa umi wa mundu nganiupagwa mu winji wa indu yakwete.”
16 He spoke a parable to them, saying, “The ground of a certain rich man produced abundantly.
Nipele ŵatanjile chitagu chanti, “Kwaliji ni jwachipanje jumo juŵaliji ni ngunda uwasogwele nnope.
17 He reasoned within himself, saying, ‘What will I do, because I do not have room to store my crops?’
Jwachipanje jo ŵaganisisye muntima mwakwe achitiji, ‘Chindende uli pakuŵa une nganingola pakugosela magowolo gangu?’
18 He said, ‘This is what I will do. I will pull down my barns, build bigger ones, and there I will store all my grain and my goods.
Ŵatite ‘Chindende yelei, chingagumule ngokwe syangu ni kutaŵa jajikulungwa nnope. Mwelemo chingaŵiche magowolo gangu gose ga ngano ni ipanje yangu.’
19 I will tell my soul, “Soul, you have many goods laid up for many years. Take your ease, eat, drink, and be merry.”’
Pelepo chinalisalile nansyene, ‘Sambano nkwete ipanje yejinji imwaligosele kwa yaka yejinji, mpumule, ndye ni kung'wa ni kusengwa!’
20 “But God said to him, ‘You foolish one, tonight your soul is required of you. The things which you have prepared—whose will they be?’
Nambo Akunnungu ŵaasalile, ‘Mmwejo Jwakuloŵela, achi chilo chino umi wenu chiujigalikwe ni yose indigosele ana chiiŵe ya ŵaani?’”
21 So is he who lays up treasure for himself, and is not rich toward God.”
Che Yesu ŵamalichisye kuŵecheta, “Yele ni yaili kwa mundu jwakuligosela ipanje yejinji, nambo paujo pa Akunnungu ngakuŵalanjikwa kuti akwete chindu.”
22 He said to his disciples, “Therefore I tell you, do not be anxious for your life, what you will eat, nor yet for your body, what you will wear.
Nipele Che Yesu ŵaasalile ŵakulijiganya ŵao, “Kwaligongo lyo ngunsalila, ngasinlilagasya kwa ligongo lya umi wenu kuti chindye chichi atamuno kwa ligongo lya iilu yenu kuti chimmwale chichi.
23 Life is more than food, and the body is more than clothing.
Pakuŵa umi upundile kwa yakulya ni chiilu chipundile kwa iwalo.
24 Consider the ravens: they do not sow, they do not reap, they have no warehouse or barn, and God feeds them. How much more valuable are you than birds!
Ngalole makungulu, ngagakupanda namose kugungula, nganigakola ngokwe namose magulu nambo Akunnungu akugalisya. Ni ŵanyamwe ndi ŵakutopela kugapunda makungulu!
25 Which of you by being anxious can add a cubit to his height?
Nipele, ŵaani mwa ŵanyamwe kwakulichenjeusya nnope akukombola kulijonjechesya namose lyuŵa limo mmoŵa ga umi wakwe?
26 If then you are not able to do even the least things, why are you anxious about the rest?
Nipele, iŵaga ngankukombola kuchitenda chachinandi mpela chelecho, ligongo chi nkuchenjeuchila ine yo?
27 Consider the lilies, how they grow. They do not toil, neither do they spin; yet I tell you, even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these.
Nnole uluŵa umele wakwe. Ngaukupanganya masengo, atamuno ngaukuliluchila iwalo. Nambo ngunsalila kuti namose mwenye che Selemani ni ukulu wao wose nganawale yambone mpela limo lya uluŵa wo.
28 But if this is how God clothes the grass in the field, which today exists and tomorrow is cast into the oven, how much more will he clothe you, O you of little faith?
Nipele iŵaga Akunnungu akulitakusya yeleyo lisamba lya mwitinji lyalikumela lelo ni malaŵi likupatuka ni kwasikwa pa mooto, ana ngati chantakusye kwakupunda ŵanyamwe ŵandi ni chikulupi chamwana?
29 “Do not seek what you will eat or what you will drink; neither be anxious.
“Nipele, ngasinlajila ichinlye atamuno iching'we namose ngasimma ni lipamba.
30 For the nations of the world seek after all of these things, but your Father knows that you need these things.
Pakuŵa yose yo ikuchenjeuchilwa ni ŵandu ŵangakulupilila ŵa ilambo ine ya pachilambo pano. Nambo mwanya Atati ŵenu akumanyilila kuti nkuilajila yele indu.
31 But seek God’s Kingdom, and all these things will be added to you.
Nipele nsoseje kaje Umwenye wa Akunnungu ni indu ine chiijonjechekwe kukwenu.
32 “Do not be afraid, little flock, for it is your Father’s good pleasure to give you the Kingdom.
“Ngasinjogopa, ŵanyamwe mpingo wenondi! Pakuŵa Atati ŵenu yanonyele kumpa Umwenye wao.
33 Sell what you have and give gifts to the needy. Make for yourselves purses which do not grow old, a treasure in the heavens that does not fail, where no thief approaches and no moth destroys.
Nsumisye inkwete nkaape ŵandu ŵakulaga mbiya syo. Nlipanganyichisye ilolo yangawisala ni kuligosela mbiko jangapunguka ni jangamala kwinani. Kwangaŵandichila ŵa wiyi atamuno konasika ni idudu.
34 For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.
Pakuŵa pajili mbiko jenu, pele ntima wenu ni pachiuŵe.
35 “Let your waist be dressed and your lamps burning.
“Nliŵiche chile kwakutumichila ni kuleka imulichilo yenu ininkukolela.
36 Be like men watching for their lord when he returns from the wedding feast, that when he comes and knocks, they may immediately open to him.
Mbe mpela achikapolo ŵakwalindilila ambuje ŵao kutyochela kuulombela kuti pakupoposya ŵaugulile nnango kwachitema.
37 Blessed are those servants whom the lord will find watching when he comes. Most certainly I tell you that he will dress himself, make them recline, and will come and serve them.
Ŵana upile ŵele achikapolo ŵachachasimana ali meeso pachauje Ambuje ŵao! Isyene ngunsalila kuti ambuje wo chaaŵe chile kwatumichila, chiŵatamiche pakulila ni kwatumichila.
38 They will be blessed if he comes in the second or third watch and finds them so.
Iŵaga chauje pasikati chilo pane atamuno kuninkucha ni kwasimana ali meeso, ŵana upile achikapolo wo.
39 But know this, that if the master of the house had known in what hour the thief was coming, he would have watched and not allowed his house to be broken into.
Nambo mmanyilileje kuti iŵaga nsyene nyuumba akakamanyilile katema chi chaiche jwa wiyi, akaliji meeso, ngakajileche nyuumba jakwe jininkugumulikwa.
40 Therefore be ready also, for the Son of Man is coming in an hour that you do not expect him.”
Ŵanyamwe nombe nliŵiche chile, pakuŵa Mwana jwa Mundu akwika katema kangankulolela.”
41 Peter said to him, “Lord, are you telling this parable to us, or to everybody?”
Che Petulo ŵausisye Che Yesu kuti, “Ambuje, ana chitagu chi chikutugamba uweji pe pane ŵandu wose?”
42 The Lord said, “Who then is the faithful and wise steward, whom his lord will set over his household, to give them their portion of food at the right times?
Ambuje ŵajanjile, “Ana kapolo jwakwimilila chi jwali jwakukulupilichika ni jwalunda, jwaŵichikwe ni ambujegwe kwajimilila achikapolo ŵao kuti ŵagaŵanyichisye yakulya pa katema kakusachilwa?
43 Blessed is that servant whom his lord will find doing so when he comes.
Jwana upile kapolo juchasimanikwe ni ambujegwe ali nkupanganya yele katema pachauje.
44 Truly I tell you that he will set him over all that he has.
Isyene ngunsalila kuti ambujegwe chambiche kapolojo kwimilila ipanje yakwe yose.
45 But if that servant says in his heart, ‘My lord delays his coming,’ and begins to beat the menservants and the maidservants, and to eat and drink and to be drunken,
Nambo, jwakutumichila ajilaga muntima mwakwe kuti, ambuje ŵangu akukaŵa kuuja ni kutanda kwaputa achikapolo achinjakwe achalume pane achakongwe ni kulya ni kung'wa ni kukolelwa,
46 then the lord of that servant will come in a day when he is not expecting him and in an hour that he does not know, and will cut him in two, and place his portion with the unfaithful.
ambujegwe kapolo jula chauje pa lyuŵa lyangalilolela ni katema kangakukamanyilila chiŵakatanye ipande ipande ni kwaŵika liunjili limo ni ŵangakukulupilila.
47 That servant who knew his lord’s will, and did not prepare nor do what he wanted, will be beaten with many stripes,
“Ni kapolo jwakumanyilila chakuchisaka ambujegwe, nambo ngakuliŵika chile kwa kupanganya yakusachilwa kupanganya ni ambujegwe, chaputikwe kwa nnope.
48 but he who did not know, and did things worthy of stripes, will be beaten with few stripes. To whomever much is given, of him will much be required; and to whom much was entrusted, of him more will be asked.
Nambo jwangakuimanyilila indu yakuisaka ambujegwe nombe akupanganya indu yaikuŵajilwa kulagaswa chaputikwe kwakanandi. Pakuŵa jwalijose juchapegwe yejinji chasachilwe kutyosya yejinji ni jwalijose jwapegwile kamulila yejinji chasachilwe kuusya yejinji nnope.
49 “I came to throw fire on the earth. I wish it were already kindled.
“Nyiche kukukolesya mooto pachilambo, none ngasachile nnope kuulola uli ukolele!
50 But I have a baptism to be baptized with, and how distressed I am until it is accomplished!
Nambo ngwete ubatiso wa masausyo gangusachilwa nagakole, nguŵijikanywa nnope mpaka masausyo ga ubatiso wo pachigamale.
51 Do you think that I have come to give peace in the earth? I tell you, no, but rather division.
Ana nkuganisya kuti nyiche nacho chitendewele pachilambo pano? Ngunsalila, ngwamba, nambo nyiche kukuntindanya.
52 For from now on, there will be five in one house divided, three against two, and two against three.
Kutandila sambano, ŵandu nsano ŵa uŵelesi umo chatindigane, ŵandu ŵatatu chaputane ni ŵandu ŵaŵili ni ŵandu ŵaŵili chaputane ni ŵandu ŵatatu.
53 They will be divided, father against son, and son against father; mother against daughter, and daughter against her mother; mother-in-law against her daughter-in-law, and daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law.”
Atati chatindane ni mwanagwao nombe mwanache chatindane ni atatigwe, achikulu chatindane ni mwanagwe mwali nombe mwali chatindane ni achikulugwe, jwankongwe chatindane ni akwegwao nombe ŵelewo chatindane ni nkwegwao.”
54 He said to the multitudes also, “When you see a cloud rising from the west, immediately you say, ‘A shower is coming,’ and so it happens.
Che Yesu ŵajisalile sooni mipingo ja ŵandu kuti, “Pankugawona maunde ganinkutyochela kulikutiŵilila lyuŵa, papopo ni nkuti lelo chijinye ula ni jikunya.
55 When a south wind blows, you say, ‘There will be a scorching heat,’ and it happens.
Pajikupuga mbungo kutyochela kulujenda nkuti, ‘Lyuŵa chiliŵale lelo’ ni iyoyo peyo ikutyochela.
56 You hypocrites! You know how to interpret the appearance of the earth and the sky, but how is it that you do not interpret this time?
Ŵanyamwe ŵa ulamba, nkukombola kulondola iichiŵe lelo kwakulola chilambo ni kwinani kwachichi nipele nkulepela kugamanyilila malumbo gakatemaka?
57 “Why do not you judge for yourselves what is right?
“Sooni kwachichi ngankulilamulila mwachimisyene chachili chambone chakuchipanganya?
58 For when you are going with your adversary before the magistrate, try diligently on the way to be released from him, lest perhaps he drag you to the judge, and the judge deliver you to the officer, and the officer throw you into prison.
Pakuŵa ikaliji yambone ntende yaili yose kwilana nawo jwammagongo nli mwitala. Iŵaga ngaŵa yeleyo chanjausye kwa jwakulamula nombejo chanjausye kwa jwangondo nombejo champonye mu nyuumba jakutaŵilwa.
59 I tell you, you will by no means get out of there until you have paid the very last penny.”
Ngunsalila isyene kuti ngantyoka mwelemo mpaka pachimmalisye kulipa mbiya ja mbesi.”
