Luke 12
1 In the meantime so many thousands of people had gathered that they were stepping on each another. Jesus began speaking first to his disciples. “Beware the yeast of the Pharisees—hypocrisy.
Laa yogunu ku niligu den taani tuda tuda ŋali ki ŋmaadi bi yaba. Jesu den cili ki maadi leni o ŋoadikaaba ki yedi: “Fangi mani yi yula ki da kubi falisieninba dabinli, lani n tie palalie yantiali.
2 For there's nothing hidden that won't be revealed, nothing secret that won't be made known.
Liba kuli ki ye ki wuo ki kan wuodi. Liba kuli ki ye ki duagi ke bi kan bandi la.
3 Whatever you have said in the dark will be heard in the light, and whatever you whispered in private will be announced from the rooftops.
Lanyaapo yin baa yedi yaala li biigili nni kuli, bi baa gbadi la u yensiinu. Yin baa soabidi yaala yi diena nni, bi baa kpaani la bi niba kuli n gbadi.
4 I tell you, my friends, don't be afraid of those who kill the body, for once they've done that there's no more they can do.
Yinba n danlinba, n yedi yi, yin da jie mani yaala n baa kpa yi gbannandi ki nan kan fidi ki tieni yi bontoala.
5 Let me make it clear whom you should be afraid of. You should be afraid of the one who after he has killed has the power to dispose of them in Gehenna. That's the one you should be afraid of. (Geenna g1067)
N baa waani yi yin baa jie yua. Ya jie mani yua n baa fidi ki kpa yi, ki go yuandi ki lu yi ku fantanbuogu nni. Yeni de, n yedi yi ke wani n tie yin baa jie yua. (Geenna g1067)
6 Aren't five sparrows sold for two pennies? But God doesn't forget a single one of them.
Baa kuadi nuani muu muu kaa kumu lie? Ama baa yeni, U Tienu kan sundi bi siiga nni ba yendo po.
7 Even the hairs on your head have been counted. Don't be afraid—you're worth more than many sparrows!
Yinba wani, baa yi yudi, U Tienu bani ti coali n da maama da jie mani pu kuli, yi pia mayuli ki cie i nuani boncianla.
8 I tell you the truth, those who declare they belong to me, the Son of man will also declare they belong to him before God's angels,
N yedi yi ke yua n tuo bi niba nintuali ke o tie n yua kuli, o Joa Bijua moko n baa tuo malekinba nintuali ke o tie n yua.
9 but those who deny me will be denied before God's angels.
Ama yua n nia bi niba nintuali ke waa tie n yua, n moko baa nia o U Tienu malekinba nintuali ke waa tie n yua.
10 Everyone who speaks against the Son of man will be forgiven, but anyone who blasphemes against the Holy Spirit will not be forgiven.
Yua n maadi o Joa Bijua po yaala n bia baa baa sugili, ama yua n sugi U Tienu Fuoma Yua kan baa sugili.
11 When you're brought to trial before synagogues, rulers, and authorities, don't worry about how to defend yourself, or what you should say.
Bi ya gedini li balimaama bangima diena nni, yaaka bi bujiaba kani, yaaka paatietoaba kani, ki baa jia leni yi ti buudi, yin da yagi mani yi yama leni yin baa maadi maama ki baa ga yi yula, leni yin baa yedi yaala kuli po,
12 The Holy Spirit will teach you at that time what's important to say.”
kelima lanyogunu lige U Tienu Fuoma yua baa bangi yi yin baa yedi yaala.”
13 Someone in the crowd asked Jesus, “Teacher, please tell my brother to share the inheritance with me.”
Ku niligu siiga niyendo den yedi Jesu: “Canbaa, waani n kpelo wan boagidi ti baa n ŋa ya faali ki teni nni n biinu.”
14 “My friend,” Jesus replied, “Who appointed me as your judge to decide how your inheritance should be divided?” He told the people,
Jesu den goa ki yedi o: “N danli ŋme dini nni li bali min jia yipo yi maama, ki boagidi yi faali?”
15 “Watch out, and beware of all greedy thoughts and actions, for a person's life isn't summed up by all the things they own.”
O go den yedi bi niba kuli: “Fangi mani yi yula bonŋanla leni mi ŋalimanbuama, kelima o nilo miali ki ŋua leni o ŋalimano n yaba maama.”
16 Then he told them a story as an illustration. “Once there was a rich man who owned land that was very productive.
Lani Jesu den pua ba mi kpanjama ki yedi: “O piado den ye ke o kuanu loni boncianla.
17 The man said to himself, ‘What shall I do? I've nowhere to store my crops.
O den kpaagi ki yedi o pali nni: 'N baa tieni lede? Kelima mii pia min baa bili n kpaandi kuli naani.”
18 I know what I'll do,’ he decided. ‘I'll pull down my barns and build bigger ones, and then I'll be able to store all my crops and everything I own.
O den goa ki yedi: 'N bani min baa tieni maama. N baa mumudi n buabuana ki goa ki maa ya n yaba ki cie, ki taani n kpaandi leni n piama kuli ki kuodi lienni.
19 Then I'll tell myself: You have enough to live on for many years, so take life easy: eat, drink, and enjoy yourself!’
Lani n baayedi n yuli: A pia mi piama ke li kandi ya bina n yaba po, ya fuo ki di ki go ñu ki mangidi a pali.'
20 But God said to him, ‘You foolish man! Your life will be demanded back this very night, and then who will get everything you've stored up?’
Ama U Tienu den yedi o: O yanluodaano na dinla ya ñiagu liga n baa taa a naano ŋan bili yaala kuli baa tua ŋme ya yaala?”
21 This is what happens to people who hoard up wealth for themselves but are not rich as far as God is concerned.”
Jesu go den yedi: “Li tie yeni leni yua n taagi mi piama o yuceli po, ke o cima ki tie U Tienu po.”
22 Jesus told his disciples, “That's why I tell you don't worry about life, about what to eat, or about what clothes you should wear.
Li ya puoli jesu den yedi o ŋoadikaaba: Li tie lani yaapo ke n yedi yi, da yagi mani yi yama yi miana yema po, yin baa di yaala, leni yi gbannandi po yin baa yie yaala.
23 Life is about more than food, and the body is about more than wearing clothes.
Li miali cie mi jiema, ti gbannandi mo cie ti tiayiekaadi.
24 Look at the ravens. They don't sow or reap, they don't have any storerooms or barns, but God feeds them. And you're far more valuable than birds!
Diidi mani a kankala, baa coagi, baa yendi, baa pia bilikaanu, baa pia buabuana. Leni lankuli U Tienu dindi ba. Ama yinba, yi pia mayuli boncianla ki cie ti bonyugiditi.
25 Can you add an hour to your life by worrying about it?
Yi siiga ŋme yanyangidi n baa teni wan fidi ki foagidi o miali dana baa waanu?
26 If you can't do anything about such small things, why worry about the rest?
Yi ya kan fidi ki tieni ya bonla n wa yeni, be yaapo ke yi bangi yaala n sieni kuli po.
27 Think of the lilies and how they grow. They don't work, and they don't spin thread for clothes, but I tell you, not even Solomon in all his glory was as beautifully dressed as one of them.
Diidi mani mi moapuuma n ye maama, maa tuuni maa pia gaali, baa yeni, n yedi yi ke baa o bado Salomono leni o kpiagi ciandi kuli, waa den pundi mi siiga baa yenma n bobi maana.
28 So if God clothes the fields with such beautiful flowers, which are here today but gone tomorrow when they are burned in a fire to heat an oven, how much more will God clothe you, you who have so little trust!
U Tienu ya bobindi ya muadi n ye ku muagu nni dinla ke bi baa fa ki taa ti ki cuoni mi fantama u fannu nni, laa pia kuli tama o baa yieni yi mo, yinba yaaba ya dandanli n ki yaba.
29 Don't be concerned about what you're going to eat or drink—don't worry about it.
Da yagini mani yi yama leni yin baa di yaala lingina leni yin baa ñu yaala lingima.
30 These are all things that people in the world worry about, but your Father knows you need them.
Kelima ya nibuoli n ki ŋua U Tienu ŋanduna nni kuli n kuandi bi yama laa bonla nni. Yi Baa bani ke laa bonla tie yipo tiladi.
31 Search for God's kingdom, and you'll be given these things as well.
Ama yin kpa lingi mani U Tieni diema nni lani laabonla kuli baa pugini yi po.
32 Don't be afraid, little flock, for your Father is happy to give you the kingdom.
Da jie mani liba, fini ya yankulu n ki yaba, kelima li mani yi Baa wan pa yi mi diema.
33 Sell what you have, and give the money to the poor. Get yourselves purses that don't wear out: treasure in heaven that will never run out, where no thief can steal it and no moth can destroy it.
Kuadi mani yin pia yaala, ki pa a luoda yin kuadi ki ba ya ligi. Hanbi mani yi yula po tanpoli po ya ligiboagili n kan biidi leni ya ŋalimani n kaa pia gbenma, a sugida n kan nagini naankani, ti lulugidi mo n kan lugi ki bolini naankani.
34 For what you value the most shows who you really are.
Kelima yi ŋalimani n ye naankani yi yantiana mo baa ye lankane.
35 Be dressed and ready, and keep your lamps lit,
Ñagini mani yi ciamu ku gbanñagidigu ki teni yi fidisanmu n ya co.
36 like servants waiting for their master when he returns from his wedding feast, prepared to open the door quickly for him when he comes and knocks.
Yeni de, ya tie mani nani ya naacenba n gu bi canbaa n ña mi pocaanjiema po ki kpeni, ke o ya pundi ki yedi: 'luodi mani n po mani, 'ban luodi opo tontoni.
37 How good it will be for those servants that the master finds watching when he returns. I tell you the truth, he will get dressed, have them sit down for a meal, and will come and serve them himself!
Li pamanli ye leni ya naacenba ke bi canba kpeni ki sua ke bi nua ki gu o yeni. N yedi yi i moamoani ke o baa ñagini o ciaga, ki teni ban kali u saajekaanu kani, wan teni ba mi jiema.
38 Even if he comes at midnight, or just before dawn—how good for them if he finds them watching and ready!
O ya kpeni o kootonmoa-kpialo, yaaka o kootonmoa-yuamo, ki sua ke bi nua ki gu, li pamanli baa ye leni ba.
39 But remember this: if the master knew when a thief was coming, he would keep watch, and not allow his house be broken into.
Yin bandi bonŋanla ke o diedaano ya bi bani o sugido n baa cua ya yogunu, o bi baa gu ki kan cedi o sugido n lugidi o dieli ki kua.
40 You must also be ready, for the Son of man is coming when you don't expect him.”
Yi moko n bogini ki ya gu kelima o Joa Bijua baa cua yin ki daani o ya yogunu.”
41 “Is this story you're telling just for us, or for everyone?” Peter asked.
Pieli den yedi o: “N daano, a pua mi naa kpanjama tinba bebe po bi? Bi niba kuli po?”
42 The Lord replied, “Who then is the trustworthy and wise manager, the one person in the household that the master puts in charge to share out their food at the right time?
O diedo den yedi: “Hme n tie ya tuonsoanjiidi-dugikoa n pia mi yanfuoma, ke o canbaa guuni o o niba ke wan ya tendi ba ya jiema n bili bipo?
43 It will be good for that servant when his master returns and finds him doing what he should.
Li pamanli baa ye leni laa naacemo o canbaa ya kpeni ki sua ke o tiendi yeni.
44 I tell you the truth, the master will put that servant in charge of everything.
N waani yi i moamoani, o canbaa baa guuni o piama kuli.
45 But what if the servant were to say to himself, ‘My master is taking a long time in coming,’ and then starts beating the other servants, both men and women, feasting and getting drunk?
Ama laa naacemo ya yedi o pali nni: 'n canbaa waagi mi kpenma,' ki ji pua bi tuonsoanba bi jaba leni bi puoba kuli, ki di ki go ñu ŋali ki guodi,
46 That servant's master will return unexpectedly one day at a time he wasn't aware of, and will punish him severely, treating him as totally untrustworthy.
laa naacemo canbaa baa kpeni wan ki daani o ya daali leni wan ki faami ya yogunu. o baa teni ban waani o fala ŋali boncianla, ki gedi o ki ban taani leni yaaba n ki ŋua U Tienu.
47 That servant who knew what his master wanted and yet didn't get ready or follow his instructions, will be beaten severely;
Ya naacemo n bani o canbaa n bua wan ya tiedi yaala ki naa bogidi liba, kaa tiendi nani o canbaa n waani o maama, bi baa pua o ya puadi n yaba.
48 but the servant who didn't know and did things deserving punishment will be beaten only lightly. From those who are given much, much will be required, and from those who are entrusted with more, more will be demanded.
De yua n kaa bani o canbaa n bua wan ya tiendi yaala, ki tiendi ya bonla n pundi ti puadi, o puadi kan ya yaba. Ban teni yua boncianla, bi baa bili ke wan guani boncianla. Ban piani yua ke li yaba bi baa bili ke wan guani yaala n yaba ki cie.
49 I have come to set the earth on fire, and I really wish it was already burning!
N cua ki baa lu mi fantama ŋanduna nni. N bua ŋali bonŋanla ke li bi tuodi ki cuo no.
50 But I have a baptism to go through, and I'm in agony, wishing it was over!
Ama bi baa kpa batisi nni ya batisima n tie fala. N yama yagini boncianla ŋali lan baa tieni ki gbeni.
51 Do you think that I came to bring peace on earth? No, I tell you, I bring division.
Naani yi tama ke n cua ki baa tieni mi yanduanma ŋanduna nni bi? A-a, N cuani mi paadime.
52 From now on, if there are five in a family, they will be divided against each other: three against two, and two against three.
Moala liiga niba muu dieyengu nni baa paadi leni bi yaba, niba taa baa koani leni niba lie, niba lie n koani leni niba taa.
53 They will be divided against each other—father against son, son against father, mother against daughter, daughter against mother, mother-in-law against daughter-in-law, and daughter-in-law against mother-in-law.”
Bibaa baa koani leni o bijua, ki bonjaga mo n ya n ya koani leni o baa, binaa n koani leni o bisalo, ki bonpuoga mo n koani leni o naa. Yaanaa baa koani leni o biyuaga, ki biyuaga mo n koani leni o yaanaa.”
54 Then Jesus spoke to the crowds. “When you see a cloud rising in the west, you immediately say, ‘a rain-shower's coming,’ and it happens.
Jesu go den yedi a nigola: “Yi ya laa ke ku tawaligu fii nintuali po, yi yen yedi tontoni ke ki taaga baa mi. Li yen tua yeni mo.
55 When a south wind blows, you say ‘it's going to be hot,’ and it is.
Yi ya laa ke u faalu ñani niganu po, yi yen yedi ke ku wuligu baa tieni. Li moko yen tua yeni.
56 You hypocrites, how is it that you know how to rightly interpret the weather but you don't know how to interpret the present time?
Yinba pala lie danba na, yi bani ki bundi tanpoli leni ki tinga sinankeeninba, be yaapo ke yi naa bani ki bundi ya yogunu n tie na ya sinankeeninba wani?
57 Why don't you think for yourselves and judge what's the right thing to do?
Be n teni ke yii kpaagi ki bandi yin baa tieni yaala lan ya tiegi?
58 As you go with your accuser to the magistrate, on the way you should be working on a settlement. Otherwise you may be dragged before the judge, and the judge hand you over to the officer, and the officer throw you into prison.
Han yegi leni a koanginkoa ke yi caa li bujiali po ya yogunu, ŋan moandi ki dagidi leni o u sanu nni wan da gedini a o bujialo kani, o bujialo n da teni a sandalima, sandalima mo n da luoni a li kpaadidieli nni.
59 I tell you, you won't get out until you've paid the last penny.”
N yedi a, a kan ña lienni kali a ban pani ki gbeni, kaa sieni baa tanga.”
