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.
Vahepeal oli kogunenud nii palju tuhandeid inimesi, et nad astusid üksteisele peale. Jeesus hakkas kõnelema esmalt oma jüngritele. „Hoidke end variseride juuretise − silmakirjalikkuse − eest.
2 But there is nothing covered up that will not be revealed, nor hidden that will not be known.
Sest pole midagi varjatut, mis ei saaks avalikuks, ega midagi salajast, millest ei saadaks teada.
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.
Seda, mida olete pimedas öelnud, kuuldakse valges; mida olete salajas sosistanud, seda kuulutatakse katustelt.
4 “I tell you, my friends, don’t be afraid of those who kill the body, and after that have no more that they can do.
Ma ütlen teile, mu sõbrad, ärge kartke neid, kes ihu tapavad, sest kui nad on seda teinud, ei saa nad enam midagi rohkem teha.
5 But I will warn you whom you should fear. Fear him who after he has killed, has power to cast into Gehenna. Yes, I tell you, fear him. (Geenna g1067)
Lubage, et ma selgitan, keda te peaksite kartma. Te peaks kartma seda, kellel on võim teid pärast tapmist Gehennasse heita. Tema on see, keda peaksite kartma. (Geenna g1067)
6 “Aren’t five sparrows sold for two assaria coins? Not one of them is forgotten by God.
Kas mitte viis varblast ei müüda kahe penni eest? Kuid Jumal ei unusta neist ühtki.
7 But the very hairs of your head are all counted. Therefore don’t be afraid. You are of more value than many sparrows.
Isegi juuksekarvad teie peas on ära loetud. Ärge kartke, te olete rohkem väärt kui palju varblasi!
8 “I tell you, everyone who confesses me before men, the Son of Man will also confess before the angels of God;
Ma räägin teile tõtt: kes avalikult tunnistavad, et nad kuuluvad mulle, nende kohta tunnistab ka inimese Poeg Jumala inglite ees, et nad kuuluvad talle,
9 but he who denies me in the presence of men will be denied in the presence of God’s angels.
aga kes mind salgavad, neid salatakse Jumala inglite ees.
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.
Igaühele, kes kõneleb inimese Poja vastu, antakse andeks, aga kes teotab Püha Vaimu, sellele ei anta andeks.
11 When they bring you before the synagogues, the rulers, and the authorities, don’t be anxious how or what you will answer or what you will say;
Kui teid tuuakse kohtusse sünagoogide, ülemate ja valitsejate ette, siis ärge muretsege sellepärast, kuidas end kaitsta või mida peaksite ütlema.
12 for the Holy Spirit will teach you in that same hour what you must say.”
Püha Vaim õpetab teile sel hetkel, mida on oluline öelda.“
13 One of the multitude said to him, “Teacher, tell my brother to divide the inheritance with me.”
Keegi rahva hulgast küsis Jeesuselt: „Õpetaja, palun ütle mu vennale, et ta jagaks minuga pärandust.“
14 But he said to him, “Man, who made me a judge or an arbitrator over you?”
„Mu sõber, “vastas Jeesus, „kes määras mind teie kohtumõistjaks otsustama, kuidas teie pärandus tuleks jagada?“Ta ütles rahvale
15 He said to them, “Beware! Keep yourselves from covetousness, for a man’s life doesn’t consist of the abundance of the things which he possesses.”
„Olge valvel ja hoiduge kõigist ahnetest mõtetest ja tegudest, sest inimese elu ei olene asjadest, mida ta omab.“
16 He spoke a parable to them, saying, “The ground of a certain rich man produced abundantly.
Seejärel jutustas ta neile näitlikustamiseks ühe loo. „Elas kord üks rikas mees, kellel oli väga viljakas maa.
17 He reasoned within himself, saying, ‘What will I do, because I don’t have room to store my crops?’
Mees arutles endamisi: „Mida ma peaksin tegema? Mul pole kusagil oma vilja hoida.
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.
Ma tean, mida ma teen, “otsustas ta. „Ma lõhun oma aidad maha ja ehitan suuremad aidad, siis on mul ruumi, kus hoida kogu oma vilja ja kõike, mis mul on.
19 I will tell my soul, “Soul, you have many goods laid up for many years. Take your ease, eat, drink, and be merry.”’
Siis ütlen endale: sul on piisavalt, et elada palju aastaid, nii et võta elu rahulikult: söö, joo ja tunne rõõmu!“
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?’
Aga Jumal ütles talle: „Sina rumal mees! Selsamal ööl nõutakse su elu tagasi ja kes saab siis kõik selle, mida sa oled varunud?“
21 So is he who lays up treasure for himself, and is not rich toward God.”
Nii juhtub inimestega, kes kuhjavad endale vara, kuid ei ole rikkad Jumalas.“
22 He said to his disciples, “Therefore I tell you, don’t be anxious for your life, what you will eat, nor yet for your body, what you will wear.
Jeesus rääkis oma jüngritele: „Sellepärast ma ütlen teile, et ärge muretsege oma elu pärast, mida süüa, ega oma rõivaste pärast, mida kanda.
23 Life is more than food, and the body is more than clothing.
Elu on palju enam kui toit ja ihu enam kui rõivaste kandmine.
24 Consider the ravens: they don’t sow, they don’t reap, they have no warehouse or barn, and God feeds them. How much more valuable are you than birds!
Vaadake ronki. Nad ei külva ega lõika, neil ei ole ladu ega aita, kuid Jumal toidab neid. Ja teie olete palju väärtuslikumad kui linnud!
25 Which of you by being anxious can add a cubit to his height?
Kas suudate elu pärast muretsemisega lisada oma elule tunnigi?
26 If then you aren’t able to do even the least things, why are you anxious about the rest?
Kui te ei suuda nii väikest asja, miks siis ülejäänu pärast muretseda?
27 Consider the lilies, how they grow. They don’t toil, neither do they spin; yet I tell you, even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these.
Mõelge liiliatele ja sellele, kuidas nad kasvavad. Nad ei tööta ega ketra lõnga rõivaste jaoks, aga ma ütlen teile, et isegi Saalomon kogu oma hiilguses ei olnud nii kaunilt riietatud kui üks neist.
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?
Nii et kui Jumal rüütab väljad nii kaunite lilledega, mis täna on siin, aga homme kadunud, kui nad põletatakse tules, et ahju kütta, kui palju enam riietab Jumal teid, kellel on nii vähe usku!
29 “Don’t seek what you will eat or what you will drink; neither be anxious.
Ärge olge mures sellepärast, mida te sööte või joote − ärge muretsege sellepärast.
30 For the nations of the world seek after all of these things, but your Father knows that you need these things.
Kõigi nende asjade pärast muretsevad inimesed maailmas, kuid teie Isa teab, et te neid vajate.
31 But seek God’s Kingdom, and all these things will be added to you.
Otsige Jumala riiki ja teile antakse ka kõike seda.
32 “Don’t be afraid, little flock, for it is your Father’s good pleasure to give you the Kingdom.
Ära karda, väike kari, sest teie Isa annab teile hea meelega kuningriigi.
33 Sell what you have and give gifts to the needy. Make for yourselves purses which don’t grow old, a treasure in the heavens that doesn’t fail, where no thief approaches and no moth destroys.
Müüge ära, mis teil on, ja andke raha vaestele. Hankige endale kukrud, mis ei kulu, aare taevas, mis ei saa iial otsa, kus varas ei saa seda varastada ega koi hävitada.
34 For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.
Sest see, mida te väärtuslikuks peate, näitab, kes te tegelikult olete.
35 “Let your waist be dressed and your lamps burning.
Olge riietatud ja valmis ning hoidke lambid põlemas,
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.
nagu oma isandat pulma pidusöögilt tagasi ootavad sulased, kes on valmis ukse nobedalt avama, kui isand tuleb ja koputab.
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.
Nende sulaste jaoks on hea, kui isand leiab nad valvamas, kui tagasi tuleb. Ma räägin teile tõtt: ta paneb riidesse, laseb neil söögilauda istuda ning tuleb ja teenib neid ise!
38 They will be blessed if he comes in the second or third watch and finds them so.
Isegi kui ta tuleb keskööl või vahetult enne koitu − kui hea on see sulaste jaoks, kui isand leiab, et nad valvavad ja on valmis!
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.
Aga pidage meeles seda: kui isand teaks, millal varas tuleb, siis oleks ta valvel ega laseks oma majja sisse murda.
40 Therefore be ready also, for the Son of Man is coming in an hour that you don’t expect him.”
Ka teie peate valmis olema, sest inimese Poeg tuleb siis, kui te ei oska arvatagi.“
41 Peter said to him, “Lord, are you telling this parable to us, or to everybody?”
„Kas sa räägid selle loo ainult meile või kõigile?“küsis Peetrus.
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?
Issand vastas: „Kes on siis usaldusväärne ja arukas kojaülem, see inimene majapidamises, kelle isand paneb vastutama õigel ajal toidu väljajagamise eest?
43 Blessed is that servant whom his lord will find doing so when he comes.
Selle sulase jaoks on hea, kui isand tagasi tulles leiab, et ta teeb seda, mida peab.
44 Truly I tell you that he will set him over all that he has.
Ma räägin teile tõtt: isand paneb selle sulase kõige eest vastutama.
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,
Aga mis siis, kui see sulane ütleks endamisi: „Mu isandal läheb tulemisega kaua aega, “ning ta hakkaks teisi sulaseid ja teenijatüdrukuid peksma, pidutsema ja purjutama?
46 then the lord of that servant will come in a day when he isn’t expecting him and in an hour that he doesn’t know, and will cut him in two, and place his portion with the unfaithful.
Selle sulase isand tuleks ootamatult ühel päeval tagasi, ajal, mil ta ei oota, ning karistaks teda rängalt, koheldes teda nagu täielikult ebausaldusväärset.
47 That servant who knew his lord’s will, and didn’t prepare nor do what he wanted, will be beaten with many stripes,
See sulane, kes teadis, mida tema isand tahab, ja ometi ei olnud valmis ega järginud isanda juhiseid, saab kõvasti peksa;
48 but he who didn’t 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.
aga sulane, kes ei teadnud ja tegi karistust väärt asju, saab ainult vähe peksa. Kellele on antud palju, sellelt ka oodatakse palju, ja kellele on usaldatud rohkem, sellelt nõutakse rohkem.
49 “I came to throw fire on the earth. I wish it were already kindled.
Ma olen tulnud maad süütama ja ma tõesti soovin, et see juba põleks!
50 But I have a baptism to be baptized with, and how distressed I am until it is accomplished!
Aga ma pean minema läbi ristimise, ma olen ahastuses ja soovin, et see oleks läbi!
51 Do you think that I have come to give peace in the earth? I tell you, no, but rather division.
Kas te arvate, et ma tulin maa peale rahu tooma? Ei, ma ütlen teile, ma toon lahkmeelt.
52 For from now on, there will be five in one house divided, three against two, and two against three.
Nüüdsest peale on nii, et kui peres on viis liiget, on nad lahkarvamusel: kolm on kahe vastu ja kaks kolme vastu.
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.”
Nad kõik on üksteise vastu − isa poja vastu ja poeg isa vastu, ema tütre vastu ja tütar ema vastu, ämm minia vastu ja minia ämma vastu.“
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.
Siis kõneles Jeesus rahvale. „Kui te näete läänest pilve tõusmas, ütlete te kohe: „Vihmasadu on tulemas, “ja nii toimub.
55 When a south wind blows, you say, ‘There will be a scorching heat,’ and it happens.
Kui puhub lõunatuul, ütlete te: „Läheb palavaks, “ja nii on.
56 You hypocrites! You know how to interpret the appearance of the earth and the sky, but how is it that you don’t interpret this time?
Te silmakirjatsejad, kuidas see nii on, et te oskate õigesti tõlgendada ilma, kuid te ei oska tõlgendada praegust aega?
57 “Why don’t you judge for yourselves what is right?
Miks te oma peaga ei mõtle ega otsusta, mida on õige teha?
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.
Kui lähete koos oma süüdistajaga kohtuniku juurde, siis peaksite teel olles püüdma lahendust leida. Muidu veetakse teid kohtu ette ja kohtunik annab teid ametniku kätte ja ametnik heidab teid vanglasse.
59 I tell you, you will by no means get out of there until you have paid the very last penny.”
Ma ütlen teile, te ei pääse enne välja, kui olete oma viimase penni ära maksnud.“
