Luke 12
1 At that time, when thousands of the people had come together, in such numbers that they were crushing one another, he said first to his disciples, Have nothing to do with the leaven of the Pharisees, which is deceit.
Ya yogu ke ku niwulgu den taani ki pundi a tuda, ke bi niba ji ŋmaadi bi lieba, ke o cili ki dá maadi leni o ŋɔdkaaba, “Fangi mani i yuli leni farisienba nɔbli, bani yaaba n pia mi muyima.
2 But nothing is covered up, which will not come to light, or secret, which will not be made clear.
Ama bonlibá ki ye ki duagi, ki kan dɔgdi, bonli ki ye ki wuo, ke bi kan bandi.
3 So, whatever you have said in the dark, will come to men's hearing in the light, and what you have said secretly inside the house, will be made public from the house-tops.
Lanwani i, yin maadi yaali li biigli nni, bi ba gbadi li mi yenyenma nni, ke yin sɔbi ki maadi yaali li dieli nni, ke a gana luo, bi ba kpaandi la li dieli binbinli po.
4 And I say to you, my friends, Have no fear of those who may put the body to death, and are able to do no more than that.
N dɔnlinba, n yedi yi, da jie mani yaaba n ba kpa ti gbannandi, ki ji kan fidi ki tieni libá kuli ki pugni.
5 But I will make clear to you of whom you are to be in fear: of him who after death has power to send you to hell; yes, truly I say, Have fear of him. (Geenna g1067)
Ama, n ba tuodi ki waani yi yin ba ya jie yua. Yin jie yua kpa, ki go pia ya paalu n ba lu ŋa ku mubuogu nni. Nn, n maadi yi, jie mani o. (Geenna g1067)
6 Are not five sparrows given in exchange for two farthings? and God has every one of them in mind.
bi ki kuadi nuanmu mu mu ka kuumu lie e? Leni lani kuli, U Tienu nunga nni, bi kan sundi mu siiga nni bá yenga po.
7 But even the hairs of your head are numbered. Have no fear: you are of more value than a flock of sparrows.
Ama yinba wani, bá i yudi, bi cɔdi ki bani ti dugli. Da jie mani pu, i pia muyuli ki cie ya nuankuli n yabi.
8 And I say to you that to everyone who gives witness to me before men, the Son of man will give witness before the angels of God.
N yedi yi, ya nilo kuli n tuo ke o bani nni, bi niba siiga, o 'Ja Bijua' mo ba tuo ke n bani o U Tienu malekinba kani.
9 But if anyone says before men that he has no knowledge of me, I will say that I have no knowledge of him before the angels of God.
Ama yua nia bi niba siiga ke waa tie n yua, bi ba sundi o po U Tienu malekinba kani.
10 And if anyone says a word against the Son of man, he will have forgiveness: but for him who says evil words against the Holy Spirit, there will be no forgiveness.
Yua n maadi mabiadma o 'Ja Bijua' po, ba baa sugli, ama yua n maadi ki sugi U Tienu Foŋanma, o kan baa sugli.
11 And when they take you before the Synagogues and the authorities and the rulers, take no thought about what answers you will give, or what you will say:
Bi ya dia yi, ki caa leni yi ti jaandiedi nni, ti buudi danba kani leni yikodanba kani ti buudi po, yin da yagi i yama leni yin ba maadi yaala ki fie i yuli, bii yin ba yedi yaala.
12 For the Holy Spirit will make clear to you in that very hour what to say.
Kelima lanyognu liga, U Tienu Foŋanma ba tundi yin ba yedi yaala.
13 And one of the people said to him, Master, give an order to my brother to make division of the heritage with me.
Ke niyendo yedi o ku niwulgu siiga “Canbaa, maadi n kpelo wan bɔgdi ti báa ń sieni ti ya faali, ki teni nni.
14 But he said, Man, who made me a judge or a maker of decisions for you?
Jesu ń yedi o, “O ja, ŋma n kaani nni ke min ya tie i buudidaano bii i ke min tua i kɔnpaadilo li faali bɔgdima po?
15 And he said to them, Take care to keep yourselves free from the desire for property; for a man's life is not made up of the number of things which he has.
Ki yedi ba, “Fangi mani yibá lini mi ŋalmanbuacianma, kelima nilo miali ki ŋua o ŋalmani yabmu ka.
16 And he said to them, in a story, The land of a certain man of great wealth was very fertile:
Lani ke Jesu pua ba ya kpanjama ne, “Piado bá den koni ki baa boncianla,
17 And he said to himself, What is to be done? for I have no place in which to put all my fruit.
ke o kali, ki jagi, ki yedi o pali nni, “N ji ba tieni ledi i, kelima mii ji pia kaanu ki ba bili n kpaandi ne kuli?
18 And he said, This I will do: I will take down my store-houses and make greater ones, and there I will put all my grain and my goods.
ki yedi, “Min ba tieni maama n ne. N ba mumudi n bunbuana, ki guani ki ma yia n tiani, ki bili lien nni n bondikaali leni n bonpiakaali kuli.
19 And I will say to my soul, Soul, you have a great amount of goods in store, enough for a number of years; be at rest, take food and wine and be happy.
Lani, n ji ba pagi n yuli “Mini, min bili ya piama kandi, ki ba tuoni nni ya bina n yabi. Ya kaa, ki fuo, ki di, ki ñu, ki mangdi a pali.
20 But God said to him, You foolish one, tonight I will take your soul from you, and who then will be the owner of all the things which you have got together?
Ama, ke U Tienu yedi o “O yanluodaano ne, dinne ñiagu liga i, ke n ba ñani a naano, ki ŋa a. ŋan bili yaali kuli ba tua ŋma ya yaali i?
21 So that is what comes to the man who gets wealth for himself, and has not wealth in the eyes of God.
Li tie nani yua n taagi mi piama o yuli po, ki nan ki pia pu U Tienu kani.”
22 And he said to his disciples, For this reason I say to you, Take no thought for your life, about what food you will take, or for your body, how it may be clothed.
Jesu yedi o ŋɔdkaaba, “lanwani i, yin da buali i miali po, yin ba di yaali bii, i gbanu po, li bonlakaali po
23 Is not life more than food, and the body than its clothing?
Kelima, li miali gie ti jiedi, ke u gbanu mo cie ti tialakaadi.
24 Give thought to the ravens; they do not put seeds into the earth, or get together grain; they have no store-houses or buildings; and God gives them their food: of how much greater value are you than the birds!
Diidi mani a bonyugda, baa buu, baa yendi, baa pia bilkaanu, baa pia bɔnbuana, ama U Tienu nan dingi a. yinba, i pia mayuli ki cie ti bonyugditi!
25 And which of you by taking thought is able to make himself any taller?
I siiga, ŋma ba fidi ki fagni o miali bá a dana waamu?
26 If, then, you are not able to do even that which is least, why are you troubled about the rest?
I ya ya bani ke i kan fidi ki tieni yaali n waa ki cie ne, be ya po i ke i maali yaali n sieni kuli po o?
27 Give thought to the flowers: they do no work, they make no thread; and still I say to you, Even Solomon, in all his glory, was not clothed like one of these.
Diidi mani ti puudi ń tie maama, tii tuuni, tii pia gaalu mo, ama bá o badciamo Salomɔn leni o kpiagdi, waa pundi bi siiga bá yengu ń bobi maama.
28 But if God gives such clothing to the grass in the field, which today is living, and tomorrow will be burned in the oven, how much more will he give clothing to you, O men of little faith?
U Tienu ya bobindi u kuanu nni muadi yeni, tini yaadi ye dinne ke bi ba faa ki taa ti, ki kuuni u fanu nni, ki cuoni umu, li ki pia tama ke o ba bobni yi mo, oo yinba yaaba ya dudugdi n ki pia fuoma!
29 And do not give overmuch thought to your food and drink, and let not your mind be full of doubts.
Da buali mani yin ba di yaali leni yin ba ñu yaali po, ki go da yagni i yama.
30 For the nations of the world go in search of all these things: but your Father has knowledge that you have need of them.
Kelima ŋanduna dogi kuli lingi lanya bona i, ke i Báa moko bani ke i bua li bona.
31 But let your chief care be for his kingdom, and these other things will be given to you in addition.
Ama yin lingi mani o diema, i ba baa lanya bona ki pugni
32 Have no fear, little flock, for it is your Father's good pleasure to give you the kingdom.
Da jie mani ba waamu, kelima i Báa pali mani ke wan puni yi o diema.
33 Give what property you have in exchange for money, and give the money to the poor; make for yourselves money-bags which will not get old, wealth stored up in heaven which will be yours for ever, where thieves will not come nor worms put it to destruction.
Kuadi mani i piama, ki puni a luoda li ligi. ŋali mani i po ya ligbɔgli n kan cadi, ŋaljanli nni ya ŋalmani yaali n ki pia gbenma.
34 For where your wealth is, there will your heart be.
Kelima a ŋalmani ń ye naani, a pali mo ye lankani i.
35 Be ready, dressed as for a journey, with your lights burning.
N̄agni mani i liadfagda u gbanñagdu, i fidsanmu ń ya tundi ki co;
36 And be like men who are looking for their lord, when he comes back from the bride-feast; so that when he comes to the door, it will be open to him quickly.
Yin ya tie nani ya niba n guu bi canbáa ń ba ña mi pocaajaama po, ki kpeni yeni, o ya pua li ganli ya yognu, ban kagni ki luodi o po.
37 Happy are those servants who are watching when the lord comes; truly I say to you, he will make himself their servant and, placing them at the table, he will come out and give them food.
Ya tuonsɔnba, ke bi canbáa ba pundi ki sua ke bi dá nua, bani baa mi yedŋanma n yeni. I mɔmɔni, n maadi yi, o ba ñagni o gaaligu u gbanñagdu, ki cedi ban kali u jedikaanu, wan tieni ba mi jiema ban je.
38 And if he comes in the second division of the night or in the third, and they are watching for him, happy are those servants.
Canbàa ya pundi yɔgsiigu bii siŋaafaani, ki sua ke bi cegni ki guu o, lan ya tuonsɔnba baa mi yedŋanma n yeni.
39 But be certain of this, that if the master of the house had had knowledge of the time when the thief was coming, he would have been watching, and would not have let his house be broken into.
Ama, min ba pugni yaali n ne, yin ya bani ke o diedaano ya bi bani ya yognu ke o suuro ba kua o deni ki suu o, o bi kan ŋa ban kua o deni ki su o,
40 So be ready: for the Son of man is coming at a time when you are not looking for him.
Yin egni iba, ki ya guu kelimaa i ki baniO Ja bijua n ́ ba guaniya yognu.
41 And Peter said to him, Lord, are these words said to us only, or to all men?
Pieri ń buali: «O Diedo, a pua lan ya kpanjama tinba baba ya po bii, li tie yuakuli ya po i?»
42 And the Lord said, Who then is the wise and responsible servant whom his lord will put in control of his family, to give them their food at the right time?
O Diedo ń yedi: «O laa tuonsɔnlo i, ke o canbáa ba guuni ke wan ya diidi o tuonsɔnlieba tuona, ki puuni ba bi daali jiema lan buali ya yognu,
43 Happy is that servant who, when his lord comes, is doing so.
o canbáa ya kpeni ki sua ke o tuuni lan buali maama, lanya tuonsɔnlo baa mi yedŋanma n yeni.
44 Truly I say to you, he will put him in control of all his goods.
I mɔmɔni n maadi yi, canbáa ba taa o piama kuli ki piani lanya tonsɔnlo.
45 But if that servant says to himself, My lord is a long time coming; and goes about giving blows to the men-servants and the women-servants, feasting and taking overmuch wine;
Ama li tuonsɔnlo ya maadi o pali nni: «N canbáa kpenma dá ba fagdi», ki ji cili ki pua o tuonsɔnlieba, bi jaba yeni bi puoba kuli, ki go cili ki di ki go ñu wan bua maama, ke mi daama ga o.
46 The lord of that servant will come at a time when he is not looking for him, and at an hour when he is not ready for him, and he will have him cut in two and will give him his part in the fate of those who have no faith;
O ya tie yeni, o canbáa ba ti ludi ki kpeni wan ki guu o ya yognu, ki cedi ban pua ki duoli o kaani kuli, ki beli ki ñani o, ki kuani o bi tuonsɔbiadba danba siiga nni.
47 And the servant who had knowledge of his lord's desires and was not ready for him and did not do as he was ordered, will be given a great number of blows;
Nani li tuosɔnlo ń den bani o canbáa ń bili o ya tuonli yeni i, ki nan ki sɔni lan buali maama yeni i, o canbáa ba cedi ban pua o ya lanbana n yabi.
48 But he who, without knowledge, did things for which punishment is given, will get only a small number of blows. The man to whom much is given, will have to give much; if much is given into his care, of him more will be requested.
Ama, ya tuonsɔnlo n ki tuodi ki bani, ki sɔni ya tuonli n buali ke lan dadi o tubli ii, bi ba pua o lanbana waaamu. Ban teni yua ke li yabi, bi ba buali o yaali n yabi. Ban piani yua yaali n cie, bi ba buali o yaali n cie.
49 I came to send a fire on the earth, and it may even now have been lighted.
«N cua ki tinga po ke min sia mu i. N sugni ke li mu ji co i.
50 But there is a baptism which I have to undergo; and how am I kept back till it is complete!
N pia mi ñinwulma, ke bi ba wuli nni. I ki bani min bua tonma maama, ke li kuli ń tieni ki tii.
51 Is it your opinion that I have come to give peace on earth? I say to you, No, but division:
I tama ke n cua ki tinga po yeni mi yanduanma yo oo? N n! I mɔmɔni, n maadi yi, n cua yeni mi paadma i.
52 For from this time, a family of five in one house will be on opposite sides, three against two and two against three.
Kelimaa, lan cili mɔlane, dieyengu nni, niba mu ba paadi, niba lie ń kɔni yeni niba taa; niba taa mo ń kɔni yeni niba lie.
53 They will be at war, the father against his son, and the son against his father; mother against daughter, and daughter against mother; mother-in-law against daughter-in-law, and daughter-in-law against mother-in-law.
Bi ba paadi bibáa ń kɔni yeni o bijaba, a bila mo ń kɔni yeni bibáa. Binaá ba kɔni yeni o bisiaba, a bisala mo ń kɔni yeni binaá. Calnaá ba kɔni yeni o biyuaga, ki biyuaga ń kɔni yeni calnaá.»
54 Then he said to the people, When you see a cloud coming up in the west, straight away you say, There will be rain; and so it is.
Jesu go den maadi ku niwulgu yaali ne: «I ya la taayinbɔnu puoli, i yi maadi: “Ki taaga ba nii!” Lan go tieni yeni.
55 And when you see a south wind blowing, you say, There will be heat; and so it is.
Mi faawaama ya fii nintuali, i yi maadi: “Ku wulgu ba tieni!” Lan go tua yeni.
56 O false ones! the face of the earth and the heaven is clear to you; how is it that the signs of these times are not as clear to you?
Yinba i muyiidmu ne! I fidi ki diidi ki tinga maalma yeni tanpoli maalma, ki bandi a bona. Li nan tieni ledi i, ke yi ki fidi ki bandi U tienu n ́ bobindi yaali mɔlane?
57 And why are you, in your hearts, unable to be judges of what is right?
Li tieni ledi i, ke yi kan fidi ki tuodi ki cegni yaali n tiegi i po mɔlane?
58 For if anyone has a cause at law against you, and you are going with him before the ruler, make an attempt, on the way, to come to an agreement with him, for if you do not, he may take you before the judge and the judge will give you up to the police, and they will put you in prison.
A ya caa ti buudi yeni a yibali, ŋan mɔndi ki mangi yeni o u sanu nni, wan da ti cedi ti buudi yudanba ń buu ki cuo a, ban mubni a bi paatieba nui nni, ban luoni a li kpaadidieli nni.
59 I say to you, You will not come out of it till you have made payment to the very last farthing.
N maadi a, a kan ña li kpaadidieli nni, kaa pani a pana kuli ki gbeni.»
