Lucas 12
1 Y sasta se terelasen catanado al crugos de Jesus baribustri sueti, de modo que yeques á averes bucharelaban ostely, se chitó á penar á desqueres discipules: Garabelaos de la levadura es Phariseyes, que sinela jujana.
While they were doing that, many thousands of people gathered [around Jesus]. There were so many that they were stepping on each other. Then Jesus said to his disciples, “Beware of [becoming] hypocrites [like] the Pharisees. Their [evil influence] [MET] [spreads to others like] yeast [spreads its influence in dough].
2 Na sinela buchi ucharada, sos na se haya de dicar: ni buchi escondida, sos na se haya de chanelar.
People will not be able to continue concealing the things that [they or other] people try to conceal now. [God] will [some day] cause the things that are hidden now to be known {[everyone] to know the things that they hide now}.
3 Presas as buchias, que penasteis andré a rachi, á la dut sinarán chamuliadas: y ma chamulasteis á la cani andré os queres, sinará pucanado opré os tejados.
All the things that you say in the dark [secretly, some day] will be heard {people will hear them} in the daylight. The things you have whispered [SYN] privately among yourselves in your rooms will be proclaimed {[people] will proclaim them} publicly.”
4 A sangue pues plalores de mangue os penelo: Que na tereleis dal de ocolas, sos marelan o trupos, y despues de ocono, na terelan butér que querelar.
“My friends, listen [carefully]. Do not be afraid of people who [are able to] kill you, but after they kill you, there is nothing more that they can do [to hurt you].
5 Tami menda penaré sangue á coin jomte terelar dal: Terelad dal á ocola, sos despues de nicobar a chipen, terela ezor de bucharar al butron: andiar sangue penelo, a ocona terelad dal. (Geenna g1067)
But I will warn you about the one that you should truly be afraid of. You should be afraid of [God], because he not only has [the power to] cause people to die, he has the power to throw them into hell afterward! Yes, he is truly the one that you should be afraid of! (Geenna g1067)
6 ¿Na se binelan pansch ujarres por dui calés, y yeque de ocolas na sinela olvidado anglal de Debél?
[Think about] the sparrows. [They are worth so little] that [you] can [RHQ] buy five of them for only two small coins. But not one of them is ever forgotten by God {God never forgets one of them}!
7 Y aun as balas de jire jero sarias sinelan jinadas. Pues na darañeleis: presas amolelais baribu butér, que ujarres baribustres.
You are worth more [to God] than many sparrows. So do not be afraid [of what people can do to you! God] even knows how many hairs there are on each of your heads, [so that if you(sg) lose one hair, he knows about it. So nothing bad can happen to you without his knowing it].
8 Y tambien sangue penelo, Que o saro manu sos veáre mangue anglal es manuces, o Chaboro e manu lo veará tambien á ó anglal es Manfarieles de Debél.
I want to tell you also that if people, [without being afraid, are willing to] tell others [that they are my disciples], [I], the one who came from heaven, will acknowledge before [God that they are my disciples]. [I will do that while] God’s angels listen.
9 Tami ó sos me negisáre anglal es manuces, negado sinará anglal es Manfarieles de Debél.
But if people [are] afraid to say in front of others that they are [my disciples], [I] will say, while God’s angels listen, that they are not [my disciples].
10 Y o saro manu sos chibare abrí yeque varda contra o Chaboro e manu, ertinado le sinará: Tami á ocola sos penáre zermañas contra o Peniche, na le sinará ertinado, nanai.
[I will tell you] also that [God is willing to] forgive people who say bad things about me, the one who came from heaven, but [he] will not forgive anyone who says evil things about what the Holy Spirit [does].
11 Y pur sangue lligueraren á as Synagogas, y á os Chineles, y a os Solares, na piraleis penchabando, sasta, ó qué terelais de rudelar, o penar.
[So] when people ask you in Jewish worship houses and in the presence of rulers and other authorities [about your trusting in me], do not worry about how you will answer them [when they accuse you]. Do not worry about what you should say,
12 Presas o Ducos Majaro sangue penará andré ocola ocana ma sangue jomte penar.
because the Holy Spirit will tell you at that very time what you should say.”
13 Y yeque de la sueti le penó: Duquendio, pen á minrio plal que partisarele con-a-mangue la jayere.
Then one of the people in the crowd said to [Jesus], “Teacher, tell my [older] brother to divide my father’s property and give me [the part that belongs] to me!”
14 Tami ó le rudeló: ¿Manu, coin ha childo mangue por Barander o repartidor enré sangue?
But Jesus replied to him, “Man, (no one appointed me in order that I would settle [matters when people are] disputing about property!/did anyone appoint me in order that I would settle [matters when people are] disputing about property?) [RHQ]”
15 Y les penó: Diquelad, y garabelaos de sari cascañia: presas a chipen de saro yeque no sinela andré la baribustri es buchias sos terela.
Then he said to the whole crowd, “Guard yourselves very carefully, in order that you do not desire other people’s things in any way! No one can make his life secure by [obtaining] many possessions.”
16 Y les penó yeque parabola, penando: La pu de yeque manu balbalo habia diñado mibao baribu.
Then Jesus told the people this illustration: “There was a certain rich man whose crops grew very well.
17 Y ó penchababa enré sí matejo, y penaba: ¿Qué querelaré, presas na terelo anduque pandisarar minrio mibao?
[So] he said [to himself], ‘I do not know what to do, because I do not have any place [big enough] to store all my crops!’
18 Y penó: Ocono querelaré: Buchararé abajines minres malabayes, y os querelaré mas bares: y oté chibaré saro minrio mibao, y minres balbalipenes.
Then he thought to himself, ‘[I know] what I will do! I will tear down my grain bins and build larger ones! Then I will store all my wheat and other goods in [the big new bins].
19 Y penaré á minri ochi: Ochi, baribustres balbalipenes terelas chités para baribustres berjis: Sobela, jama, piya, din jachipenes.
[Then] I will say to myself [SYN], “Now I have plenty of goods stored up. [They will last] for many years. [So now] I will take life easy. I will eat and drink [all that I want to] and be happy [for a long time]!”’
20 Tami Debél le penó: Dinelo, ocona rachi te vuelven á ustilar a ochi, ¿Ma has chitó, para coin sinará?
But God said to him, ‘You foolish [man]! Tonight you will die! (Then all [the goods] you have saved up [for yourself] will [belong to someone else, not to] you!/Do you think that you [will benefit from] all that you have stored up for yourself?) [RHQ]’”
21 Andiar sinela ó sos chitela manchin para sí; y na sinela balbalo andré Debél.
[Then Jesus ended this illustration by saying], “That is what will happen to those who store up goods just for themselves, but who do not value the things [that] God [considers] valuable.”
22 Y penó á os discipules de ó: Pre ocono sangue penelo: na pireleis solicitos para jiré ochi, ma jamareis, ni para o trupos, que coneles chibareís.
Then [Jesus] said to his disciples, “So I want to tell you this: Do not worry about [things you need] in order to live. Do not worry about [whether you will have enough food] to eat or [enough clothes] to wear.
23 Butér sinela a ochi, que o jamar, y o trupos que os coneles.
It is important to have sufficient food and clothing, but (the way you conduct your lives is more important./is not the way you conduct your lives more important?) [RHQ]
24 Diquelad os cuerves, sos na chinelan, ni terelan dispensa, ni malabai, y Debél os parbarela. ¿Pues quanto butér amolelais sangue que junos?
Think about the birds: They do not plant [seeds], and they do not harvest [crops]. They do not have rooms or buildings in which to store crops. But God provides food for them. [And] you are certainly much more valuable than birds. [So God will certainly provide what you need]!
25 Y coin de sangue, por baribu que lo penchabele, astisarela chibar a sun estatura yeque codo butér?
(There is not a one of you who can add a little bit to how long he lives by worrying about it!/Is there any of you who can add a little bit to how long he lives by worrying about it?) [RHQ]
26 Pues si na astisarelais ma sinela mendesquero: ¿por qué pireleis penchabando por as avérias buchias?
Worrying is a small thing to do. So since you cannot add to your life, (you certainly should not worry about other things that [you need to have in order to live!]/why do you worry about other things that [you need to have in order to live]?) [RHQ]
27 Diquelad os lirios sasta se querelan baro; sos ni randiñelan ni hilan: pues sangue penelo, que ni Salomon andré saro desquero chimusolano, na sinaba tan chitó sasta yeque de oconas.
Think about the way that flowers grow [in the fields]. They do not work [to earn money], and they do not make their own clothes. But I tell you that [even though King] Solomon, [who lived long ago, wore very beautiful clothes], his clothes were not as beautiful as one of those [flowers].
28 Pues si al cha, sos achibes sinela andré o lugos, y tasata se bucharela andré o sosimbo, Debél vistió andiar lacho; ¿quanto butér á sangue de frima fé?
God makes the flowers beautiful, but they grow in the fields for only a short time. Then [they are cut at the same time that the grass] is cut, and thrown into an oven [to be burned to make heat for baking] bread. [So they really are not worth very much. But you are very precious to] God, [and he] will [care for you] much more [than he cares for the grass by filling it with beautiful flowers]. So he will certainly provide clothes for you, who [live much longer than the grass. Why] [RHQ] [do you] trust him so little?
29 Na pireleis pues penchabando andré ma terelais de jamar, o piyar, y na pireleis ardiñelados.
Do not always be concerned about having enough to eat and drink, and do not be worrying about those things.
30 Presas sarias oconas sinelan buchias, en que pirelan penchabando os busnes de la sueti. Y jire Dada chanela, que de oconas terelais necesidad.
The people who do not know God are always worried about such things. But your Father [in heaven] knows that you need those things, [so you should not worry about them].
31 Pre ocono orotelad brotobo o chim de Debél, y su lachoria; y sarias oconas buchias á sangue sinarán jinadas.
Instead, be concerned about letting [God] completely direct [your life]. Then [he] will also give you enough of the things [you need].
32 Na darañeleis, ne-bari plastañi; presas jire Dada ha camelado diñaros o chim.
[You who are my disciples are like a] small flock of sheep, [and I am like your shepherd]. So you should not be afraid. Your Father [in heaven] wants to let you rule with him [in heaven].
33 Binelad ma terelais y diñad limosna. Querelaos quisobes, sos na se chitelan purés, manchin andré o Charos, sos jamas faltisarela: anduque o rande na bigorela, y na jamela a polilla.
[So now] sell the things that you own. Give [the money that you get for those things] to poor people. [If you do that, it will be as though] you are providing for yourselves purses that will not wear out, and [God will give] you a treasure in heaven that will always be safe. There, no thief can come near [to steal it], and no termite can destroy it.
34 Presas duque sinela jire manchin, oté tambien sinará jire carlochin.
Remember that [the things] that you [think are the most] valuable are [the things] that you will be constantly concerned about.”
35 Terelad ceñidos jires dumes, y mermellines encendidas andré jires bastes.
“Be always ready [for doing God’s work] [MET], like [people] who have put on their work clothes and are ready [during the day], with their lamps burning all night.
36 Y sinelad sangue semejantes á os manuces, sos ujarelan á o Erañó de junos, pur limbidiela de las romandiñipenes: somia que pur abilláre, y araqueráre á la bundal, yescotria le pindrabelen.
Be [ready for me to return] [MET], like servants who are waiting for their master to return after being at a wedding feast [for several days]. They are [waiting to] open the door for him and [start working for him again] as soon as he arrives and knocks at the door.
37 Majarés ocolas lacrés, sos alacháre velando o Erañó pur abilláre: Aromali sangue penelo, que se chibará la sustigui; y os querelará bestelar á la mensalle, y nacando os servirá.
If those servants are awake when he returns, [he will] be very pleased with them. I will tell you this: He will put on [the kind of clothes] that servants wear and tell them to sit down, and he will serve them a meal.
38 Y si abilláre andré la duisquera vela, y si abilláre andré la trinchera vela, y andiar alacháre á junos, majarés sinelan oconas lacrés.
[Even] if he comes between midnight and sunrise, if he finds that his servants are [awake and] ready [for him], he will be very pleased with them.
39 Tami chanelad ocono, que si o julai e quer chanelase a ocana en que abillaria o randé, na querelaria o sobindoi, y na mequelaria enquerar su quer.
But you must also remember this: If owners of a house knew what time a thief was coming, they [would stay awake and] would not allow their house to be broken into [and their goods to be stolen] {[the thief] to break into the house [and steal their goods]}.
40 Sangue pues sinelad emposunés: presas á la ocana, que na penchabelais, abillará o Chaboro e manu.
Similarly, you must be ready [for me to return], because [I], the one who came from heaven, will come [again] at a time when you do not expect [me to come].”
41 Y Pedro le penó: Erañó, penelas ocona parabola á amangue, ó tambien á os sares.
Peter said, “Lord, are you [(sg)] speaking this illustration [only] for us or for everyone [else also]?”
42 Y penó o Erañó, ¿Coin, penchabelais que sinela o baro-lacró lacho y cabalico, sos chitó o Erañó opré su sueti, somia que les díñele o melalo de gi andré chiros?
The Lord replied, “[I am saying it for you and for anyone else] [MET, RHQ] who is like a faithful and wise manager in his master’s house. His master appoints him to [supervise affairs in his house] and to give all the [other] servants their food at the proper time. [Then he leaves on a long trip].
43 Majaro ocola lacró, sos pur abilláre o Erañó, le alacháre andiar querelando.
If the servant is doing that work when his master returns, [his master] will be very pleased with him.
44 Aromali sangue penelo, que lo chitará opré saro que terela.
I tell you this: His master will appoint him to supervise all of his affairs [permanently].
45 Tami si penáre ocola lacro andré su carló: Se tasalela minrio Erañó de abillar, y se chibáre á querelar choro á os lacrés, y á as lacrias, y á jamar, y á pijar, y diñarse á curdá:
But that servant might think to himself, ‘My master [has been away] for a long time, [so he probably will] not return soon [and find out what I am doing].’ [Then he might] start to beat the [other] servants, both male and female ones. [He might also start] to eat [a lot of food] and get drunk.
46 Abillará o Erañó de ocola lacró o chibes, que na penchabela, y á la ocana que na chanela, y le chibará abrí, y chitará su aricata sat junos de dabrocos.
[If he does that, and if] his master returns on a day when the servant does not expect him, then his master will (cut him into two pieces/punish him severely) [HYP] and put him [in the place where he puts all] those who do not [serve him] faithfully.
47 Presas ocola lacró sos chanó ma camelaba desquero Erañó, y na queró bajin, y na queró ma camelaba, sinará muy mistos curado.
Every servant who knows what his master wants him to do but who does not get himself ready and does not do what his master desires will be beaten severely {[The master] will beat severely every servant who knows what his master wants him to do but who does not get himself ready and does not do what his master desires}.
48 Tami ó sos na chanó, y queró buchias dignas e saniséo, frima sinará curado: presas á saro manu, á coin baribu sinaba diñado; baribu le sinará manguelado: y al que baribu encomendáron, butér le ustilarán.
But every [servant] who did not know [what his master wanted] him to do, and who did things for which he deserved to be punished, will be beaten lightly {[the master] will beat lightly every [servant] who did not know [what his master wanted] him to do and did the things for which he deserved that [his master] would beat him}. [God will treat his people similarly, because he] expects a lot from those people whom [he] has allowed [to understand a lot]. People who entrust things [to others’ care] expect those people [to care for those things] very well. Similarly, [God] expects a lot from those people whom he has allowed [to understand a lot]. Furthermore, he expects the most from people to whom he has given the most [ability].”
49 Yaque he abillado á chitar andré la pu: ¿y que camelo, sino que jacharele?
“I came to earth to cause [there to be trials] [MET], [which will purify you as] fire [purifies metal] (OR, to cause judgment/divisions among you). I wish that the time when [you] will be purified {when [God] will purify you} (OR, when divisions will be caused {to cause divisions among people}) had already begun.
50 Me jomte sinelar chobelado sat bautismo: ¿y cómo me trajatelo, disde que se lo querele?
I must soon suffer [IDM] greatly. I am distressed, and I will continue to be distressed until my suffering is finished.
51 ¿Penchabelais, que sinelo abillado á chitar paz andré la pu? Sangue penelo que nanai, sino chingaripen.
Do you think that as a result of my coming to earth people will live together peacefully? No! I must tell you, [that is not what will happen! Instead, people] will be divided.
52 Presas de acoi anglal sinarán pansch andré yeque quer en chingaripen, os trin sinarán contra os dui, y os dui contra os trin.
Because some people in one house [will believe in me and some will not], they will be divided. [For example], three people in one house [who do not believe in me] will oppose two [who do believe], or two [who do not believe in me] will oppose three [who do believe].
53 Sinarán en chingaripen o batu sat o chaboro; la dai sa’ la chabori, y la chabori sa’ la dai, la dai e rom sa’ la romi, y la romi sa’ la dai e rom.
A man will oppose his son, or a son will oppose his father. A woman will oppose her daughter, or a woman will oppose her mother. A woman will oppose her daughter-in-law, or a woman will oppose her mother-in-law.”
54 Y penaba tambien á la sueti: pur diquelais ardiñelar o paros del aracata e poniente, yescotria penelais: Buros abillela: y andiar anaquela.
He [also] said to the crowds, “[In this country], when you see a [dark] cloud forming in the west, you immediately say ‘It is going to rain!’ and that is what happens.
55 Y pur chumasquerela o Austro, penelais: jar querelará: y chachipen sinela.
[In this region], when the wind blows from the south, you say, ‘It is going to be a very hot day!’ and that is what happens.
56 Sungalés, chanelais distinguir as chichias e charos y de la pu: ¿pues como na chanelais pincherar o chiros presente?
You hypocrites! By observing the clouds and the wind, you are able to discern what is happening regarding [the weather]. It is disgusting that you are not able to discern [what God is doing] at this present time [RHQ]!
57 ¿Y por qué na pincherelais por sangue matejos: ma sinela lacho?
(Each of you ought to determine now what is the right thing for you to do, [while you still have time to do that]!/Why cannot each of you determine what is the right [thing for you to do now while you still have time to do that]?) [RHQ]
58 Pur chalas sa’ tun daschmanu al Manclay, querela ma astis somia listrabarte de ó andré o drun, somia que na te lliguerele al Barander, y o Barander te díñele al chinel, y o chinel te chitele andré l’estaripel.
[If you do not do that, God will punish you] [MET]. [It will be like what happens when] someone takes one of you to court, saying that you [(sg)] have done something very bad. You should try to settle things with him while you are still on the way to the court. If he forces you to go to the judge, the judge will decide that you are guilty and put you into the hands of the court officer. Then that officer will put you in prison.
59 Te penelo, que na chalarás abrí de acoi, disde que poquineles o segriton cale.
I tell you that if you go to prison, you will never get out, [because you will never be able to] pay every bit [of what the judge says you owe] [MET]. [Similarly, you ought to settle accounts with God before you die, too].”
