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 the mean time, when the many thousands of the multitude were gathered together, insomuch that they trode one upon another, he began to say unto his disciples first of all, Beware ye 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, that shall not be revealed: and hid, 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.
Wherefore whatsoever ye have said in the darkness shall be heard in the light; and what ye have spoken in the ear in the inner chambers shall be proclaimed upon the housetops.
4 “Awachonu osiepena, kik uluor jogo manego ringruok to bangʼe onge gima ginyalo medo timo.
And I say unto you my friends, Be not afraid of them which kill the body, and after that 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 warn you whom ye shall fear: Fear him, which after he hath killed hath power to cast into hell; yea, I say unto 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 farthings? and not one of them is forgotten in the sight of God.
7 Chutho, kata mana yie wiu duto osekwan mongʼe kar rombgi. Kik uluor, nikech uloyo oyundi nyadi mangʼeny.
But the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Fear not: ye are of more value than many sparrows.
8 “Awachonu, ngʼato angʼata mohulo ni ongʼeya e nyim ji, Wuod Dhano biro hulo ni angʼeye e nyim malaike mag Nyasaye.
And I say unto you, Every one who shall confess me before men, him shall the Son of man also confess before the angels of God:
9 To ngʼato angʼata mokweda e nyim ji en bende nokwede e nyim malaike mag Nyasaye.
but he that denieth me in the presence of men shall be denied in the presence of 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 every one who shall speak a word against the Son of man, it shall be forgiven him: but unto him that blasphemeth 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,
And when they bring you before the synagogues, and the rulers, and the authorities, be not anxious 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 that very hour what ye ought to say.
13 Ngʼat moro mane ni ei oganda nowachone niya, “Japuonj nyis owadwa mondo opogna mwanduna.”
And one out of the multitude said unto him, Master, bid my brother divide the inheritance with me.
14 Yesu nodwoko niya, “Omera en ngʼa moketa jangʼad bura kata jathek e kindu?”
But he said unto him, Man, who made me 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 unto them, Take heed, and keep yourselves from all covetousness: for a man’s life consisteth not in the abundance of the things which he possesseth.
16 Kendo nogoyonegi ngero moro ni: “Puoth ngʼat moro ma jamoko nochiek maber.
And he spake a parable unto them, saying, The ground of a certain rich man brought forth plentifully:
17 Noparo e chunye ni, ‘Angʼo monego atim? Aonge kama dakanie chamba.’
and he reasoned within himself, saying, What shall I do, because I have not where to bestow 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 pull down my barns, and build greater; and there will I bestow all my corn and my goods.
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 goods laid up for many years; take thine ease, 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 unto him, Thou foolish one, this night is thy soul required of thee; and the things which thou hast prepared, whose shall they be?
21 “Mano e kaka nobed gi ngʼato angʼata mokano gik moko ne en owuon to ok omew e yor Nyasaye.”
So is he that layeth 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 unto his disciples, Therefore I say unto you, Be not anxious for [your] life, what ye shall eat; nor yet for your body, what ye shall put on.
23 Ngima duongʼ moloyo chiemo, kendo del duongʼ moloyo lewni.
For the life is more than the food, and the body than the 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, neither reap; which have no store-chamber nor barn; and God feedeth them: of how much more value are ye than the birds!
25 En ngʼa kuomu ma parruok moparorego nyalo miyo omed bedo mangima kata mana kuom sa achiel kende?
And which of you by being anxious can add a cubit unto his stature?
26 To kaka ok unyal timo mani matin-ni, angʼo momiyo uparoru kuom gik mamoko?
If then ye are not able to do even that which is least, why are ye anxious concerning 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 toil not, neither do they spin; yet I say unto you, Even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like 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 doth so clothe the grass in the field, which today is, and tomorrow is cast into the oven; how much more [shall he clothe] you, O ye of little faith?
29 Kendo kik uket chunyu kuom gima dicham kata madi madhi, kik uparru kuom mago.
And seek not ye what ye shall eat, and what ye shall drink, neither be ye of doubtful mind.
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: but your Father knoweth that ye have need of these things.
31 To dwaruru pinyruoth Nyasaye, eka gigi duto bende nomiu kaachiel gi mago.
Howbeit seek ye his kingdom, and these things shall be added unto you.
32 “Kik uluor un kweth matin, nikech Wuonu mor mar miyou pinyruoth.
Fear not, little flock; for it is your Father’s good pleasure 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 that ye have, and give alms; make for yourselves purses which wax not old, a treasure in the heavens that faileth not, where no thief draweth near, neither moth destroyeth.
34 Nimar kama mwanduni nitie e kama chunyi bende nobedie.
For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.
35 “Rwakreuru ka uikoru ne tich kendo techeu osik kaliel,
Let your loins be girded about, and your lamps burning;
36 ka joma rito ruodhgi maduogo koa e nyasi mar arus, mondo kobiro kendo oduongʼo to giyawone dhoot piyo.
and be ye yourselves like unto men looking for their lord, when he shall return from the marriage feast; that, when he cometh and knocketh, they may straightway open unto him.
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 servants, whom the lord when he cometh shall find watching: verily I say unto you, that he shall gird himself, and make them sit down to meat, and shall come and 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 shall come in the second watch, and if in the third, and find [them] so, blessed are those [servants].
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 know this, that if the master of the house had known in what hour the thief was coming, he would have watched, and not have left his house to be broken through.
40 Omiyo kamano e kaka un bende onego ubed moikore, nikech Wuod Dhano biro biro sa ma ok ungʼeyo.”
Be ye also ready: for in an hour that ye think not the Son of man cometh.
41 Petro nopenje niya, “Ruoth iwacho ngeroni ni wan koso ni ji duto?”
And Peter said, Lord, speakest thou this parable unto us, or even unto 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 wise steward, whom his lord shall set over his household, to give them their portion of food in due season?
43 Jatijno none ber ka ruodhe odwogo to noyude kotimo gima noweye notim.
Blessed is that servant, whom his lord when he cometh shall find so doing.
44 Awachonu adier ni obiro kete jarit mwandune duto.
Of a truth I say unto you, that he will set him over all that he hath.
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 servant shall say in his heart, My lord delayeth his coming; and shall begin to beat the menservants and the maidservants, and to eat and 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 servant shall come in a day when he expecteth not, and in an hour when he knoweth not, and shall cut him asunder, and appoint his portion with the unfaithful.
47 “Jatijno mongʼeyo dwaro mar ruodhe to ok otem timo gima ruodhe dwaro nochwad mangʼeny.
And that servant, which knew his lord’s will, and made not ready, nor did according to 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 that knew not, and did things worthy of stripes, shall be beaten with few [stripes]. And to whomsoever much is given, of him shall much be required: and to whom they commit much, of him will they ask the more.
49 “Asebiro mondo amok mach e piny, to mano kaka agombo ni mad ne bed ni osemoke!
I came to cast fire upon the earth; and what will I, if it is already kindled?
50 Nitie batiso monego ayudi. To mano kaka chunya chandore nyaka chop otimre!
But I have a baptism to be baptized with; and how am I straitened till it be accomplished!
51 Uparo ni ne abiro mondo akel kwe e piny? Ooyo, to awachonu ni ne akelo mana pogruok.
Think ye that I am come to give peace in the earth? I tell you, Nay; 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 there shall be from henceforth five in one house divided, three 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.”
They shall 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.
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 to the multitudes also, When ye see a cloud rising in the west, straightway ye say, There cometh a shower; and so it cometh to pass.
55 Kendo ka yamb milambo kudho to uwacho ni oro biro to kamano e kaka timore.
And when [ye see] a south wind blowing, ye say, There will be a scorching heat; and it cometh to pass.
56 Andhokegi! Ka ulony kuom rango chal mar piny gi polo to angʼo momiyo ok unyal ngʼeyo gik matimore ndalogi?
Ye hypocrites, ye know how to interpret the face of the earth and the heaven; but how is it that ye know not how to interpret 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 art going with thine adversary before the magistrate, on the way give diligence to be quit of him; lest haply he hale thee unto the judge, and the judge shall deliver thee to the officer, and the officer shall 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 by no means come out thence, till thou have paid the very last mite.
