Luka 12
1 E kindeno, kane oganda mar ji mangʼeny maromo alufe ne osechokore, makoro ginyonore giwegi, Yesu nochako wuoyo mokwongo, ni jopuonjrene kowacho niya, “Beduru motangʼ ne thowi mar jo-Farisai, ma en wuondruok.
In those [times], the myriads of the crowd being gathered together, so that they trod one on another, he began to say to his disciples first, Beware of the leaven of the Pharisees, which is hypocrisy;
2 Onge gimoro mopandi ma ok nofweny, kata malingʼ-lingʼ ma ok nongʼere.
but there is nothing covered up which shall not be revealed, nor secret that shall not be known;
3 Gima usewacho e mudho biro winjore e odiechiengʼ e lela, kendo gima usekwodho e itu ei ot maiye nolandi ewi tat ot.
therefore whatever ye have said in the darkness shall be heard in the light, and what ye have spoken in the ear in chambers shall be proclaimed upon the housetops.
4 “Awachonu osiepena, kik uluor jogo manego ringruok to bangʼe onge gima ginyalo medo timo.
But I say to you, my friends, Fear not those who kill the body and after this have no more that they can do.
5 To abiro nyisou jalno monego uluor: Luoruru jalno ma, bangʼ nego ringruok, to en gi teko mar witou e ataro mar mach. Ee, awachonu, luoreuru. (Geenna g1067)
But I will shew you whom ye shall fear: Fear him who after he has killed has authority to cast into hell; yea, I say to you, Fear him. (Geenna g1067)
6 Oyundi abich donge ingʼiewo otonglo ariyo kende? To kata kamano kata achiel kuomgi wi Nyasaye ok wilgo.
Are not five sparrows sold for two assaria? and one of them is not forgotten before God.
7 Chutho, kata mana yie wiu duto osekwan mongʼe kar rombgi. Kik uluor, nikech uloyo oyundi nyadi mangʼeny.
But even the hairs of your head are all numbered. Fear not therefore, ye are better than many sparrows.
8 “Awachonu, ngʼato angʼata mohulo ni ongʼeya e nyim ji, Wuod Dhano biro hulo ni angʼeye e nyim malaike mag Nyasaye.
But I say to you, Whosoever shall confess me before men, the Son of man will confess him also before the angels of God;
9 To ngʼato angʼata mokweda e nyim ji en bende nokwede e nyim malaike mag Nyasaye.
but he that shall have denied me before men shall be denied before the angels of God;
10 Kendo ngʼato angʼata mowacho wach moro marach kuom Wuod Dhano nowene, to ngʼato angʼata ma yanyo Roho Maler ok nowene richone.
and whoever shall say a word against the Son of man it shall be forgiven him; but to him that speaks injuriously against the Holy Spirit it shall not be forgiven.
11 “Kokelu e sinagogi, e nyim jodongo gi jotelo, to kik uparru kaka dudwok weche ma odonjnugo, kata gima duwachi,
But when they bring you before the synagogues and rulers and the authorities, be not careful how or what ye shall answer, or what ye shall say;
12 nikech Roho Maler biro puonjou e sano gima onego uwachi.”
for the Holy Spirit shall teach you in the hour itself what should be said.
13 Ngʼat moro mane ni ei oganda nowachone niya, “Japuonj nyis owadwa mondo opogna mwanduna.”
And a person said to him out of the crowd, Teacher, speak to my brother to divide the inheritance with me.
14 Yesu nodwoko niya, “Omera en ngʼa moketa jangʼad bura kata jathek e kindu?”
But he said to him, Man, who established me [as] a judge or a divider over you?
15 Eka nowachonegi niya, “Ritreuru! Beduru motangʼ ne kit wuoro duto; ngima mar dhano ok bedi nikech mwandu mathoth ma en-go.”
And he said to them, Take heed and keep yourselves from all covetousness, for [it is] not because a man is in abundance [that] his life is in his possessions.
16 Kendo nogoyonegi ngero moro ni: “Puoth ngʼat moro ma jamoko nochiek maber.
And he spoke a parable to them, saying, The land of a certain rich man brought forth abundantly.
17 Noparo e chunye ni, ‘Angʼo monego atim? Aonge kama dakanie chamba.’
And he reasoned within himself saying, What shall I do? for I have not [a place] where I shall lay up my fruits.
18 “Eka nowacho ni, ‘Ma e gima abiro timo. Abiro muko dechena kendo gero moko madongo, kendo abiro kano chamba duto gi gigena kanyo.
And he said, This will I do: I will take away my granaries and build greater, and there I will lay up all my produce and my good things;
19 Eka anawach gie chunya niya, “Chunya in-gi gik mangʼeny mabeyo misekano moromi kuom higni mangʼeny. Koro ywe, chiem, methi kendo bed mamor.”’
and I will say to my soul, Soul, thou hast much good things laid by for many years; repose thyself, eat, drink, be merry.
20 “To Nyasaye nowachone ni, ‘In ngʼat mofuwoni! Kawuono gotienoni wangʼ nokaw ngimani. En ngʼa mabiro kawo mago miseloso ne in iwuon?’
But God said to him, Fool, this night thy soul shall be required of thee; and whose shall be what thou hast prepared?
21 “Mano e kaka nobed gi ngʼato angʼata mokano gik moko ne en owuon to ok omew e yor Nyasaye.”
Thus is he who lays up treasure for himself, and is not rich toward God.
22 Eka Yesu nowachone jopuonjrene niya, “Emomiyo awachonu ni kik uparru kuom ngimau, kata kuom gik ma ubiro chamo, kata kuom dendu, kata gik ma ubiro rwako.
And he said to his disciples, For this cause I say unto you, Be not careful for life, what ye shall eat, nor for the body, what ye shall put on.
23 Ngima duongʼ moloyo chiemo, kendo del duongʼ moloyo lewni.
The life is more than food, and the body than raiment.
24 Paruruane winy ma ok chwo cham to bende ok gikee, gionge gi kuonde keno kata dere; to Nyasaye pod pidhogi apidha. To un donge uber moloyo winy.
Consider the ravens, that they sow not nor reap; which have neither storehouse nor granary; and God feeds them. How much better are ye than the birds?
25 En ngʼa kuomu ma parruok moparorego nyalo miyo omed bedo mangima kata mana kuom sa achiel kende?
But which of you by being careful can add to his stature one cubit?
26 To kaka ok unyal timo mani matin-ni, angʼo momiyo uparoru kuom gik mamoko?
If therefore ye cannot [do] even what is least, why are ye careful about the rest?
27 “Paruruane kaka ondanyo dongo. Ok ginyagre gi tich kata gi chwecho. To kata kamano awachonu ni kata mana Solomon e rwakruokne malich duto ne ok orwakore ka achiel kuomgi.
Consider the lilies how they grow: they neither toil nor spin; but I say unto you, Not even Solomon in all his glory was clothed as one of these.
28 Ka kamano e kaka Nyasaye rwako lum aluma manie pap, ma kawuono nitie to kiny iwite e mach, to koro un dorwaku, machal nade, yaye un joma yiegi tin-gi?
But if God thus clothe the grass, which to-day is in the field and to-morrow is cast into [the] oven, how much rather you, O ye of little faith?
29 Kendo kik uket chunyu kuom gima dicham kata madi madhi, kik uparru kuom mago.
And ye, seek not what ye shall eat or what ye shall drink, and be not in anxiety;
30 Nimar jopiny ema chandore ka dwaro gigi duto, to bende Wuonu ongʼeyo ni udwaro gigi duto.
for all these things do the nations of the world seek after, and your Father knows that ye have need of these things;
31 To dwaruru pinyruoth Nyasaye, eka gigi duto bende nomiu kaachiel gi mago.
but seek his kingdom, and [all] these things shall be added to you.
32 “Kik uluor un kweth matin, nikech Wuonu mor mar miyou pinyruoth.
Fear not, little flock, for it has been the good pleasure of your Father to give you the kingdom.
33 Lok gigi iyudgo pesa mondo imi joma odhier. Dwaruru ofuke magu mikane pesa ma ok yiechi ma en mwandu manie polo ma ok rum kuma jakuo ok chopie kata olwenda ok kethi.
Sell what ye possess and give alms; make to yourselves purses which do not grow old, a treasure which does not fail in the heavens, where thief does not draw near nor moth destroy.
34 Nimar kama mwanduni nitie e kama chunyi bende nobedie.
For where your treasure is, there also will your heart be.
35 “Rwakreuru ka uikoru ne tich kendo techeu osik kaliel,
Let your loins be girded about, and lamps burning;
36 ka joma rito ruodhgi maduogo koa e nyasi mar arus, mondo kobiro kendo oduongʼo to giyawone dhoot piyo.
and ye like men who wait their own lord whenever he may leave the wedding, that when he comes and knocks, they may open to him immediately.
37 Nobed maber ni jotich ma ruodhgi noyud karito e kinde modwogo. Awachonu adiera ni norwakre gi lawe mondo omigi chiemo, nomi gibed e mesa mi nobi mopognegi chiemo.
Blessed are those bondmen whom the lord [on] coming shall find watching; verily I say unto you, that he will gird himself and make them recline at table, and coming up will serve them.
38 Nobed maber ne jotije ma ruodhgi noyud ka oikore kata ka obiro e arita mar ariyo kata mar adek gotieno.
And if he come in the second watch, and come in the third watch, and find [them] thus, blessed are those [bondmen].
39 To ngʼeuru ma maber ni ka dine wuon ot ngʼe ni kar sa adi ma jakuo biroe to dine ok oweyo ode otur gi jakuo.
But this know, that if the master of the house had known in what hour the thief was coming, he would have watched, and not have suffered his house to be dug through.
40 Omiyo kamano e kaka un bende onego ubed moikore, nikech Wuod Dhano biro biro sa ma ok ungʼeyo.”
And ye therefore, be ye ready, for in the hour in which ye do not think [it], the Son of man comes.
41 Petro nopenje niya, “Ruoth iwacho ngeroni ni wan koso ni ji duto?”
And Peter said to him, Lord, sayest thou this parable to us, or also to all?
42 To Ruoth nodwoko niya, “Kare jatich ma ja-adiera kendo ma jatelo mariek en ngʼa, ma ruodhe omiyo tich mar rito jotije ka miyogi chiembgi e sa mowinjore?
And the Lord said, Who then is the faithful and prudent steward, whom his lord will set over his household, to give the measure of corn in season?
43 Jatijno none ber ka ruodhe odwogo to noyude kotimo gima noweye notim.
Blessed is that bondman whom his lord [on] coming shall find doing thus;
44 Awachonu adier ni obiro kete jarit mwandune duto.
verily I say unto you, that he will set him over all that he has.
45 To kapo ni jatijno owacho e chunye owuon ni, ‘Ruodha, okawo ndalo mathoth kapok odwogo,’ mi ochako goyo jotich machwo gi mon kendo owere ne chiemo gi metho, kod mer.
But if that bondman should say in his heart, My lord delays to come, and begin to beat the menservants and the maidservants, and to eat and to drink and to be drunken,
46 Ruodh jatijno nobi e odiechiengʼ ma ok opar ni dobie kendo e sa ma ok ongʼeyo, enongʼade matindo tindo mi okete kaachiel gi joma ok oyie.
the lord of that bondman shall come in a day when he does not expect it, and in an hour he knows not of, and shall cut him in two and appoint his portion with the unbelievers.
47 “Jatijno mongʼeyo dwaro mar ruodhe to ok otem timo gima ruodhe dwaro nochwad mangʼeny.
But that bondman who knew his own lord's will, and had not prepared [himself] nor done his will, shall be beaten with many [stripes];
48 To mano ma ok ongʼeyo to otimo gik mowinjore gi kum, to nochwad manok. Ngʼato ka ngʼato ma osemi mangʼeny nodwar kuome gik mangʼeny, to jal ma osemi mangʼeny mondo oriti, enopenje mangʼeny moloyo.
but he who knew [it] not, and did things worthy of stripes, shall be beaten with few. And to every one to whom much has been given, much shall be required from him; and to whom [men] have committed much, they will ask from him the more.
49 “Asebiro mondo amok mach e piny, to mano kaka agombo ni mad ne bed ni osemoke!
I have come to cast a fire on the earth; and what will I if already it has been kindled?
50 Nitie batiso monego ayudi. To mano kaka chunya chandore nyaka chop otimre!
But I have a baptism to be baptised with, and how am I straitened until it shall have been accomplished!
51 Uparo ni ne abiro mondo akel kwe e piny? Ooyo, to awachonu ni ne akelo mana pogruok.
Think ye that I have come to give peace in the earth? Nay, I say to you, but rather division:
52 Chakre kawuono kadhi nyime ji abich ma joot achiel biro pogore, ji adek odok kon achiel to ji ariyo bende nodog komachielo.
for from henceforth there shall be five in one house divided; three shall be divided against two, and two against three:
53 Gibiro pogore, wuoro nopogre gi wuode kendo wuowi bende nopogre gi wuon, miyo nopogre gi nyare to nyako bende nopogre gi min, dayo nopogre gi chi wuode, chi wuowi bende nopogre gi damare.”
father against son, and son against father; mother against daughter, and daughter against mother; a mother-in-law against her daughter-in-law, and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law.
54 Nowacho ni oganda niya, “Kuneno ka boche polo chokore yo podho chiengʼ to piyo piyo uwacho ni, ‘Koth biro chue,’ to timore kamano!
And he said also to the crowds, When ye see a cloud rising out of the west, straightway ye say, A shower is coming; and so it happens.
55 Kendo ka yamb milambo kudho to uwacho ni oro biro to kamano e kaka timore.
And when [ye see] the south wind blow, ye say, There will be heat; and it happens.
56 Andhokegi! Ka ulony kuom rango chal mar piny gi polo to angʼo momiyo ok unyal ngʼeyo gik matimore ndalogi?
Hypocrites, ye know how to judge of the appearance of the earth and of the heaven; how [is it then that] ye do not discern this time?
57 “Angʼo mamonou ngʼado bura mar gima kare?
And why even of yourselves judge ye not what is right?
58 Ka idhi gi ngʼama odonjoni e nyim jangʼad bura, tem matek mondo iwuo kode kendo uwinjru kapod un e yo, nono to obiro ywayi koteri ir jangʼad bura, to jangʼad bura biro keti e lwet askari, to askari biro boli e od twech.
For as thou goest with thine adverse party before a magistrate, strive in the way to be reconciled with him, lest he drag thee away to the judge, and the judge shall deliver thee to the officer, and the officer cast thee into prison.
59 Awachoni ni ok niwuog oko nyaka ichul faini duto monego ichul ma ok orem kata ndururu.”
I say unto thee, Thou shalt in no wise come out thence until thou hast paid the very last mite.
