Luke 12
1 Ke tausin puspis mwet fahsreni ac elos asinukiyak ac longya sie sin sie, na Jesus el mutawauk in sramsram meet nu sin mwet tumal lutlut, “Kowos karinginkowosyang liki mwe pulol lun mwet Pharisee inge — nga kaskas ke wosounkas lalos uh.
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 Kutena ma afyufi ac fah ikakla, ac ma wikla nukewa ac fah eteyuk.
and there is nothing covered, that shall not be revealed; and hid, that shall not be known;
3 Ke ma inge, kutena ma kowos fahkla yen lohsr uh ac fah lohngyuk in acn kalem, ac kutena ma kowos mahmai in lukma, ac fah sulkakinyuk ke pusra lulap nu sin mwet nukewa.
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 “Nga fahk nu suwos, mwet kawuk luk, nik kowos sangeng sin mwet su ku in uniya mano, a wangin ma elos ku in oru toko.
'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 Nga ac fahkak nu suwos lah su fal kowos in sangeng se uh: Sangeng sin God, su tukun El uniya, oasr ku lal in sisla nu in hell. Aok, El na pa kowos in sangeng se uh! (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 “Ya tia kukakinyukla won sparrow limekosr ke cent luo? Ne ouinge a God El tiana mulkunla siefanna selos.
'Are not five sparrows sold for two assars? and one of them is not forgotten before God,
7 Finne aunsifowos, oaoala nukewa tari. Ke ma inge, nik kowos sangeng; kais sie suwos arulana saok liki sparrow puspis!
but even the hairs of your head have been all numbered; therefore fear ye not, than many sparrows ye are of more value.
8 “Nga fahk nu suwos, kutena mwet su fahkyuyak ye mutun mwet uh, nga, Wen nutin Mwet, fah oayapa fahkulak ye mutun lipufan lun God.
'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 A kutena mwet su lafwekinyu ye mutun mwet uh, nga, Wen nutin Mwet, fah oayapa lafwekunul ye mutun lipufan lun God.
and he who hath denied me before men, shall be denied before the messengers of God,
10 “Kutena mwet su kaskas lain Wen nutin Mwet, ac ku in nunak munas nu sel; a kutena mwet su fahk kas enum lain Ngun Mutal, ac fah tia nunak munas nu sel kac.
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 “Ke elos ac uskowosyak in nununkeyuk kowos in iwen lolngok uh, ku ye mutun governor ku mwet leum saya uh, nimet sensen lah mea kowos ac sang topkolos, ku lah mea kowos ac fahk in aksuwosye kowos.
'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 Mweyen Ngun Mutal ac fah luti nu suwos in pacl sac ma kowos in fahk.”
for the Holy Spirit shall teach you in that hour what it behoveth [you] to say.'
13 Sie sin mwet ke u lulap sac fahk nu sin Jesus, “Mwet Luti, fahk nu sin tamulel luk in kitalik in fal mwe usru lasr sin papa tumasr.”
And a certain one said to him, out of the multitude, 'Teacher, say to my brother to divide with me the inheritance.'
14 Jesus el topuk nu sel, “Mukul, su srisrngiyuwi in mwet nununku lomtal, ku in kitalik mwe usru inmasrlomtal uh?”
And he said to him, 'Man, who set me a judge or a divider over you?'
15 Ac el sifilpa fahk nu selos nukewa, “Liyaung ac karingin kowos liki kain in rapku nukewa, mweyen moul na pwaye lun sie mwet tia ma ke ma su oasr lal, el finne arulana kasrup.”
And he said unto them, 'Observe, and beware of the covetousness, because not in the abundance of one's goods is his life.'
16 Na Jesus el fahk nu selos pupulyuk se inge: “Oasr mwet kasrup se su acn lal uh oswe kain fokinsak na wowo.
And he spake a simile unto them, saying, 'Of a certain rich man the field brought forth well;
17 El mutawauk in sifacna nunku in el, ‘Wangin acn in nwanak fokin ima nukewa luk inge we. Mea nga ac oru uh?’
and he was reasoning within himself, saying, What shall I do, because I have not where I shall gather together my fruits?
18 Na el sifacna nunku mu, ‘Pa inge ma nga ac oru: nga ac kunausya lohm in filma luk inge ac musaela pac kutu in yohk liki, yen nga ac filiya fokin ima ac ma luk nukewa we.
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 Na nga fah fahk nu sik sifacna, Wo nu sum! Ma puspis ma lom ilusyukyak oan, yolyak in akfalye enenu lom nu ke yac puspis fahsru uh. Inge kom mongla na, mongo, nim ac akinsewowoye kom sifacna!’
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 A God El fahk nu sel, ‘Kom mwet lalfon! Ofong moul lom ac fah itukla liki kom; na ac lun su ma inge nukewa ma kom elosak?’”
'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 Na Jesus el fahk nu selos, “Pa inge ma ac sikyak nu sin mwet su elosak mwe kasrup nu selos sifacna, ac tia kasrup ye mutun God uh.”
so [is] he who is treasuring up to himself, and is not rich toward God.'
22 Na Jesus el fahk nu sin mwet tumal lutlut, “Pa inge sripa se oru nga fahk nu suwos kowos in tia fosrnga ke mwe mongo ma kowos enenu nu ke moul lowos, ku ke nuknuk nu ke monuwos.
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 Tuh moul lowos arulana saok liki mwe mongo, ac monuwos saok liki na nuknuk.
the life is more than the nourishment, and the body than the clothing.
24 Nunku ke won yen engyeng uh: elos tia taknelik ku kosrani, ac wangin nien filma lalos ku iwen mongo nalos, a God El kitalos. Ya kowos tia arulana saok liki won uh?
'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 Su suwos ac ku in akloesye moul lal el fin fosrnga kac?
and who of you, being anxious, is able to add to his age one cubit?
26 Na kowos fin kofla orala ma na srisrik ouinge, efu kowos ku fosrnga ke ma saya uh?
If, then, ye are not able for the least — why for the rest are ye anxious?
27 Liye luman kapak lun kiuf inima uh. Elos tia orekma ku tuta nuknuk lalos. Ac nga fahk nu suwos lah finne Tokosra Solomon su arulana yohk kasrup lal, nuknuk lal uh tia kato oana sie sin ros kiuf inge.
'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 God pa yunela mah inima inge uh, su oan misenge, na lutu isisyak ac wanginla. Ya El ac fah tia yunikowosla in arulana wo liki? Arulana srikla lulalfongi lowos uh!
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 “Ke ma inge, nik kowos sisla pacl lowos in suk ac arulana fosrnga ke ma kowos ac kang ku nim.
'And ye — seek not what ye may eat, or what ye may drink, and be not in suspense,
30 (Tuh mwet pegan fin faclu elos suk ma inge in pacl nukewa.) Papa tomowos El etu lah kowos enenu ma inge.
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 A kowos in suk Tokosrai lal, ac El ac fah asot pac ma inge nu suwos.
but, seek ye the reign of God, and all these things shall be added to you.
32 Nikmet sangeng, kowos finne u srisrik se, tuh Papa tomowos El insewowo in asot Tokosrai nu suwos.
'Fear not, little flock, because your Father did delight to give you the reign;
33 Kukakunla ma lowos nukewa ac sang mani an nu sin mwet sukasrup uh. Akoela nu suwos mwe neinyuk mani ma ac tia kulawi, ac elosak mwe kasrup lowos inkusrao, yen ma ac fah tiana srikeni we, mweyen wangin mwet pisrapasr ac fah utyak nu we, ac wangin watil ac fah kunausla.
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 Tuh yen ma saok lowos oasr we, insiowos ac fah oan pac we.
for where your treasure is, there also your heart will be.
35 “Loseni infulwowos in ku, ac akosak lam lowos an, tuh kowos in akola nu ke kutena ma ac sikyak,
'Let your loins be girded, and the lamps burning,
36 oana mwet kulansap su tupan foloko lun mwet kacto lalos liki kufwen marut uh. Ke pacl se leum lalos el tuku ac towol srungul uh, elos ac sa na ikasla nu sel.
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 Insewowo mwet kulansap inge su ke leum lalos tuku el konalosyak tuh elos na ngetnget ac akola! Nga fahk nu suwos, el ac sarukla coat lal, sap elos in muta ke tepu in mongo, na el ac sang ma nalos.
'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 Ac fuka lupan engan lalos el fin konauk tuh elos na akola, el finne tuku ke infulwen fong ku paht liki!
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 Kowos arulana etu lah mwet se la lohm se fin etu ke pacl sie mwet pisrapasr ac tuku, el tia ku in lela elan utyak nu in lohm uh.
'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 Ke ma inge, kowos pac, kowos in akola, tuh Wen nutin Mwet el ac fah sikme ke ao se su kowos tia etu kac.”
and ye, then, become ye ready, because at the hour ye think not, the Son of Man doth come.'
41 Peter el fahk, “Leum, ku pupulyuk se inge ma na nu sesr, ku kom fahk nu ke mwet nukewa?”
And Peter said to him, 'Sir, unto us this simile dost thou speak, or also unto all?'
42 Ac Leum el topuk, “Su sie mwet kulansap oaru ac lalmwetmet? El pa mwet se ma leum lal ac filiya in kol mwet kulansap wial, ac sang mwe mongo nalos in pacl fal uh.
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 Fuka lupan insewowo lun mwet kulansap se inge leum lal fin foloko nu lohm sel ac konauk lah el oru ma inge!
Happy that servant, whom his lord, having come, shall find doing so;
44 Pwayena nga fahk nu suwos, leum sac el ac sang tuh mwet kulansap se inge in liyaung ma lal nukewa.
truly I say to you, that over all his goods he will set him.
45 Tusruk, mwet kulansap sac fin sifacna nunku sel mu leum se lal inge ac tia sa in foloko, ac el fin mutawauk in uni mwet kulansap wial — kewana mukul ac mutan — ac el mongo, nimnim ac sruhila,
'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 na leum lal el ac foloko ke sie len ma mwet kulansap sac tia nunku mu el ac tuku, ac el tiana akola. Leum sac ac fah sang kai na upa nu sel, ac eisalang tuh elan keok yurin mwet sululalfongi ac seakos.
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 “Sie mwet kulansap su etu ma leum lal lungse elan oru, a el tiana akola in oru, ac fah sringsring el upa na.
'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 A sie mwet kulansap su tia etu ma leum lal lungse elan oru, a el orala sie ouiya ma fal in sringsring el kac, ac fah sringsring el fisrasr na. Mwet se ma itukyang ma pus nu se, ac fah siyukyuk ma pus sel; ac el su eis arulana yohk, arulana yohk pac ma enenu in ituk sel.
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 “Nga tuku in akosak sie e fin faclu, ac nga kena in tari tayak!
'Fire I came to cast to the earth, and what will I if already it was kindled?
50 Oasr baptais se nga enenu in baptais kac, ac nga ac arulana toasr nwe ke na orekla!
but I have a baptism to be baptized with, and how am I pressed till it may be completed!
51 Ya kowos nunku mu nga tuku in ase misla nu faclu? Mo, tia misla, a sraclik.
'Think ye that peace I came to give in the earth? no, I say to you, but rather division;
52 In pacl se ingela, sou ma oasr mwet limekosr kac ac fah srisrielik, tolu lain luo, ac luo lain tolu.
for there shall be henceforth five in one house divided — three against two, and two against three;
53 Papa ac fah lain wen natulos, ac wen ac fah lain papa tumalos; nina ac fah lain acn natulos ac acn ac fah lain nina kialos; nina ac fah lain mutan kien mukul natulos, ac mutan payuk fah lain nina kien mukul tumalos.”
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 Jesus el fahk pac nu sin mwet uh, “Ke kowos liye sie pukunyeng sikyak roto, pacl sacn na kowos ac fahk mu ac afi — na mu afi.
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 Ac ke kowos ac pula ke eng eir ac tuhme uh, na kowos fahk mu ac arulana fol — na mu fol na.
and when — a south wind blowing, ye say, that there will be heat, and it is;
56 Kowos mwet wosounkas! Kowos ku in liye faclu ac kusrao, ac aketeya pulan pacl uh, na efu kowos ku tia etu kalmen pacl se inge?”
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 “Efu ku kowos tia sifacna nunku lah mea fal kowos in oru?
'And why, also, of yourselves, judge ye not what is righteous?
58 Fin oasr mwet se akola in us kom nu ke nununku, srike na in akmisye inmasrlomtal meet liki komtal sun acn in nununku. Kom fin tia, na el ac amakin kom nu ye mutun mwet nununku, su ac eiskomyang nu sin mwet liyaung presin, na ac fah sisiyang kom nu in presin.
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 Nga fahk nu sum, kom ac fah muta we nwe ke na kom akfalyela ma nukewa pakpuki kom in moli uh.”
I say to thee, thou mayest not come forth thence till even the last mite thou mayest give back.'
