Lukha 12
1 Khu nsikhi ugwa amakhindiga ga vanu valundamane pupaninye nu khukhadana, akhatengula ukhunchova na vakhongi va mwene tasi, mwilolelage ni khiluve ikya Vafarisayo avuvene, “Viva vanyalubedo”
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 Sapakhave ne siri iyifihime iyiyo sayigubatuliwe, nikhunu khikyo khikhafihime, khile khe ukhuvonekha.
and there is nothing covered, that shall not be revealed; and hid, that shall not be known;
3 Linio lola ilyumwa nchovaga vumilimuhisi, pulipuli khikha vulimu ndumuli. Nu vavenchaga vumukhu ganchova mumbulukhutu igati mu nyumba nchenyo ivikhungiwe filanchovaga khu kyanya khu nyumba.
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 Nikhuvavulamincha vayangamula dwadaga avibuda umbili, ulwakhuva va livuvule ukhinu ikya khuvomba,
'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 Lino nikhuva vunga uvakhu dwada. Mudwadage ula uvuyakhiva ibuda nu anayelweli woni nu khutaga khujehanamu. Kweli, nikhuvavula umwe mudwadage ujwua. (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 limo shamoro5 savigunchi wa kundalama ivili? Pu asikhuli numo uvi yakhuva ga Nguluve.
'Are not five sparrows sold for two assars? and one of them is not forgotten before God,
7 Lino pu mulumanye ukhuta, injweli ncha twe gwinyo nchivaliwe mulwadwadaga. Umwe mulivavaha nukhu dwanchiwa. Khuvuvaha khisita ishomoro inyinyingi.
but even the hairs of your head have been all numbered; therefore fear ye not, than many sparrows ye are of more value.
8 Nikhuva, vula uviavenchoga uviyakhiva ikhunjidikha une khumiho ga vanu, nu Mwana va Adamu ayikhumwidikha khumiho ga vasung'wa va Nguluve.
'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 Umunu uvavenchaga uviyakhiva inchova ilimenyu ilivivi khu mwana va Adamu, ayisikhiliwa,
and he who hath denied me before men, shall be denied before the messengers of God,
10 lino uvavenchaga, uviibeda khu mepo umbalanche, sakhasyekhiliwe.
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 Vuyakhiva vikhuvahilikha khuvulongolo khu vavaha avasinagogi, na vatwa na vakhilunga mulwadwada nu khu nchova nu khunchova vu mukhitetela,
'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 khikyo mwinchova, Pu umepo umbalanche ayikhuva manyisya umwa khunchovela khu sikhi ugwa.”
for the Holy Spirit shall teach you in that hour what it behoveth [you] to say.'
13 Umunu umo nu lulundamano akhambula, “Umanyisi, umbule ulukhololwango angavile uluvafu lwango.”
And a certain one said to him, out of the multitude, 'Teacher, say to my brother to divide with me the inheritance.'
14 U Yisu akhanda, veni uviambikhile ukhuva indamunchi nu khulihava imbulongolo winyo?
And he said to him, 'Man, who set me a judge or a divider over you?'
15 Pu akha vavula, mwilolelage mu mhombo iya vunogwe, ulwakhuva uvumi wa munu vusi khuli nu vumofu uwa finu ifi alinavyo.”
And he said unto them, 'Observe, and beware of the covetousness, because not in the abundance of one's goods is his life.'
16 U Yisu akhavavula ikhihwa na nicho, akhanchova akhata, ikyalo kya munu yumo utayili,
And he spake a simile unto them, saying, 'Of a certain rich man the field brought forth well;
17 kya motikhe fincho, Akhivuncha mugati akhata, nelivuvule apakhuvikha imote yango?
and he was reasoning within himself, saying, What shall I do, because I have not where I shall gather together my fruits?
18 Akhanchova, nivomba ndeenidenyanya ifibana vyango ifidebe nu khunjenga ifibana ifivaha, nu khuvikha imote yoni ni finu ifinge vyoni.
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 Nu khuyivula inumbula ukhuta,” numbula wivekhile ikhibana ne vinu vyooni khusikhi ikya miakha gimingi. Tama, nu khuhovokha, uliuchage nukhunjwa nu khuhovokha.”
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 Lino UNguluve akhambula, uve vi munu ulipelwa, ikhilo iyi vinogwa inumbula yakho ukhuhuma khulyuve, ni finuvyoni ifiwavekhile fiva vyani?
'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 Vunyilava umunu nu munu uvivekha ikyuma ulekhe ukhwita yilisya khu Twa.
so [is] he who is treasuring up to himself, and is not rich toward God.'
22 U Yisu akhavavula avakhongi vamwene, pu lino nikhuvavula ukhuta, mlekhe ukhu susuvala khukya muhiitamile ginyo ukhuta mwilya khikhi, mufwala khikhi.
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 Ulwakhuva imitamile khulutilile mukyakhulya, nu mbili gulutilile mumyenda.
the life is more than the nourishment, and the body than the clothing.
24 Mulolage ifidege ivya khukyanya, safilina nu khubena. Valivuvule inyumba na khikhi bana ikya khuvikhila, lino uDada veto, ikhikhuvalisya. Umwe samuli vananu ukhulutilila fincho ndi fidege!
'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 Pu pwale veni uvi ikhigatancha imbutamilo wa mwene?
and who of you, being anxious, is able to add to his age one cubit?
26 Ingavesanuvomba imbombo indebe khikhukhwi gatancha na gange goni?
If, then, ye are not able for the least — why for the rest are ye anxious?
27 Mulolage amavuva - vugimela. Sagivomba nu khubota ulwakhuva. Nikhumbula, na yu Sulemani khu vuvaha wa mwene woni savikhiwe ukhuva vope pwale,
'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 Ingave Unguluve si vikha vunonu ilinyasi khuvunambalililo, ne lelo pugale, khilavo vitaga khumwota. Lino silutilila ukhuvavikha umwe? Umwe mwi valwidikho ulusupi!
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 Mulagatalaga ukhuta twilya khikhi nu khunywa khikhi mulavenchaga nu vugwanchi.
'And ye — seek not what ye may eat, or what ye may drink, and be not in suspense,
30 Ukhuva avavaha va khilunga vigatanchiwa ne nchakhilunga. Nu Dada vito ulumanyile ukhuta mulonda ago.
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 Lino mulondage uludeva tasi pu agange ikhuvongelenchaga,
but, seek ye the reign of God, and all these things shall be added to you.
32 Muladwadaga, umwe mwikhipunga ikhidebe, ulwakhuva u Dada veto ihavokha ukhutupo ufwe uludeva.
'Fear not, little flock, because your Father did delight to give you the reign;
33 Gunchaga ikyuma kyoni nu khuvapa avaganchu, mwivikhile imepakho igisagisila ne lakhiba khu kyanya iyisayisila upu avalyasi savakhahedelele na yi nondo sayikhawese ukhubungua.
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 Ulwakhuva upunyilipo iakhiba puyilipo na yi numbula yakho.
for where your treasure is, there also your heart will be.
35 Imwenda gieto give nutali give gikhungiwe nu khanda, gwa taa nchinyo nu khulola ukhuta nchikwe ndelela ukhwakha,
'Let your loins be girded, and the lamps burning,
36 Nu khuva nda vanu avikhundola Utwa vavene ukhuhuma khuluhekhelo ulwa vutegulani, ukhuta aginche nu khuta, puvi khudindulila undyango na mbivi igele.
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 Vasayiwe avavombi avuvene Utwa ayikhuvavona valimiho. Lweli ayikhunga mienda imitali nu khanda, nu khuvatamikha pasi khukhulya nu khuvapa linchaga.
'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 Ingave Utwa ikhwincha khusikhisikhi pu uvuloleli uwa pakhilo nu wa sikhi khadatu yu vuloleli nu khuvavona ukhuva viyandalile, viva vagatalufu avavombi avo.
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 Ukhulutilila nago, mungalumanye ukhuta umunu ikhwincha khuhincha sakhale ikhuyilekha inyumba vebomole.
'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 Muvenchage miho, ulwakhuva samulumanyile usikhi ugu ikhwincha umwana va Adamu.
and ye, then, become ye ready, because at the hour ye think not, the Son of Man doth come.'
41 u Petro anchovile akhata, “Itwa, vukhutuvula yufwe ifi khwani, nukhumbula umunu nu munu?
And Peter said to him, 'Sir, unto us this simile dost thou speak, or also unto all?'
42 U Twa akhavavula akhata, “Veni umbanda unonu nu nyaluhala, uve Utwa va mwene ikhu mbikha khukyanya khuva mbombo avange ukhuta avapinchage ikyakhulya kyavene khunsikhi ugwa venchaga?
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 Asayiwe umbaha uvi Utwa va mwene anginche ivona ivomba imbombo yila iyakhambulule ukhuvomba.
Happy that servant, whom his lord, having come, shall find doing so;
44 Lweli nikhuvavula umwe ukhuta ikhu mbikha khukyanya khu kyuma kyoni.
truly I say to you, that over all his goods he will set him.
45 Lino umbaha ula anchovile munumbula mumwene, “Utwa vango inchelewa ukhukhilivu kha; pu akhatengula ukhuvatova avambombo voni, avagosi na vadala pu akhatengula ukhulya nu khunywa nu khugala,
'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 utwa vamwene nu mbanda ayikhwincha pa khigono ikhisakhivo nekha nu sikhi gugwa sugumanyile, nu mwene ayigida tusekhele tusekhele, nu khuvikha pupaninye na avasava vikhwelewa'
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 Umbaha, uvyalumanyile uvugane wa Ntwa wa mwene nu mwene sakhivikhe vuuonu nu khuvomba vuuonu nu vugane wa mwene, nu khutoviwa ne mbikhi inyingi.
'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 Lino umbaha uvesalumanyile uvugani wa NTwa va mwene, pu akhavomba agilondiwa, ayitova imbikhi ndebe, ulwa khuva uvivapile fingi, ifingi vikhufilonda u khuhuma khu mwene, nu mwene uvivamwamini khu fihele likhe, khu mwene ayufilondiwa ifihelelikhe ukhulutilila.
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 Ninchile khukhoncha umwoto mukhilunga, ninogwa guve gwakhile,
'Fire I came to cast to the earth, and what will I if already it was kindled?
50 Pu luno nelinulwoncho ulwa khwonchiva, nu khuva nulususuvalo ukhufikha khuvumalilo!
but I have a baptism to be baptized with, and how am I pressed till it may be completed!
51 Lino, usaga mwita ninchile khukhuvapa ulwidikho mukhilunga? Bakho, nikhuvavulanincha, ukhuta neletile ukhulekhehana.
'Think ye that peace I came to give in the earth? no, I say to you, but rather division;
52 Ukhuma lino nu khwendelela yukhuva na vanu 5 munjengo yimo nukhugavaniya radatu viva khusana na vavili, na vavili viva khusana na vadatu.
for there shall be henceforth five in one house divided — three against two, and two against three;
53 Yuvikhigava, udada iva khusana nu mwana, nu mwana ayiva khusana nu dadaye, uvanina iva khusana nu ng'inchava mwene, nu vanina ukwive iva khusana nu khwive va mwene.
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 U Yisu akha vavula avanyalulundamano nave, “Ukhuta vumuvona amafunde vugihumila khuvuhumo, mwinchova usikhi ugwa fula gufikhe vuyilivo vuyakhiva yiva,
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 Ne mepo ukhuhuma khuvutegulilo wa khilunga nu khuluguto, mwinchova, pupalava na mafukhe amakhali, vuyilava.
and when — a south wind blowing, ye say, that there will be heat, and it is;
56 Umwe mwe vanyagila, muwesya ukhulesya imigendele igiya khilunga na khukyanya, lino yuyiwa ndakhikhi samukhawese ukhwelesya usikhi ugupugule?
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 Khikhi umunu nu munu alekhe ukhukhwihiga ilya lweli? Khu mwene ukhu vomba usikhi ugwalinago nu sikhi ugwakhuvomba evo?
'And why, also, of yourselves, judge ye not what is righteous?
58 Ungave vuluta nu vihegiwa vakhe khuvulongolo khwa uhakhimu, nitangage ukhwibatana nu vihigiwa vakho vulimumule mulinchila alekhe ukhukhuhilikha khwa akhimu, nu hakhimu akhuhilikhe khu ofisa, nu ofisa akhakhutaga khulumande.
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 Ni khuvavula, ukhuhuma ukhwa akhuhombile ukhuhuma khumwisyo ne senti iya mwisyo.
I say to thee, thou mayest not come forth thence till even the last mite thou mayest give back.'
