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.
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 For there's nothing hidden that won't be revealed, nothing secret that won't be made known.
Ama bonlibá ki ye ki duagi, ki kan dɔgdi, bonli ki ye ki wuo, ke bi kan bandi.
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.
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 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.
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 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)
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 Aren't five sparrows sold for two pennies? But God doesn't forget a single one of them.
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 Even the hairs on your head have been counted. Don't be afraid—you're worth more than many 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 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, 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 those who deny me will be denied before God's angels.
Ama yua nia bi niba siiga ke waa tie n yua, bi ba sundi o po U Tienu malekinba kani.
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 mabiadma o 'Ja Bijua' po, ba baa sugli, ama yua n maadi ki sugi U Tienu Foŋanma, o kan baa sugli.
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 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 The Holy Spirit will teach you at that time what's important to say.”
Kelima lanyognu liga, U Tienu Foŋanma ba tundi yin ba yedi yaala.
13 Someone in the crowd asked Jesus, “Teacher, please tell my brother to share the inheritance 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 “My friend,” Jesus replied, “Who appointed me as your judge to decide how your inheritance should be divided?” He told the people,
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 “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.”
Ki yedi ba, “Fangi mani yibá lini mi ŋalmanbuacianma, kelima nilo miali ki ŋua o ŋalmani yabmu ka.
16 Then he told them a story as an illustration. “Once there was a rich man who owned land that was very productive.
Lani ke Jesu pua ba ya kpanjama ne, “Piado bá den koni ki baa boncianla,
17 The man said to himself, ‘What shall I do? I've nowhere to store my crops.
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 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.
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 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 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 man! Your life will be demanded back this very night, and then who will get everything you've stored up?’
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 This is what happens to people who hoard up wealth for themselves but are not rich as far as God is concerned.”
Li tie nani yua n taagi mi piama o yuli po, ki nan ki pia pu U Tienu kani.”
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.
Jesu yedi o ŋɔdkaaba, “lanwani i, yin da buali i miali po, yin ba di yaali bii, i gbanu po, li bonlakaali po
23 Life is about more than food, and the body is about more than wearing clothes.
Kelima, li miali gie ti jiedi, ke u gbanu mo cie ti tialakaadi.
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 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 Can you add an hour to your life by worrying about it?
I siiga, ŋma ba fidi ki fagni o miali bá a dana waamu?
26 If you can't do anything about such small things, why worry 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 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 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 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 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 Don't be concerned about what you're going to eat or drink—don't worry about it.
Da buali mani yin ba di yaali leni yin ba ñu yaali po, ki go da yagni i yama.
30 These are all things that people in the world worry about, but your Father knows you need them.
Kelima ŋanduna dogi kuli lingi lanya bona i, ke i Báa moko bani ke i bua li bona.
31 Search for God's kingdom, and you'll be given these things as well.
Ama yin lingi mani o diema, i ba baa lanya bona ki pugni
32 Don't be afraid, little flock, for your Father is happy to give you the kingdom.
Da jie mani ba waamu, kelima i Báa pali mani ke wan puni yi o 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 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 what you value the most shows who you really are.
Kelima a ŋalmani ń ye naani, a pali mo ye lankani i.
35 Be dressed and ready, and keep your lamps lit,
N̄agni mani i liadfagda u gbanñagdu, i fidsanmu ń ya tundi ki 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.
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 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!
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 Even if he comes at midnight, or just before dawn—how good for them if he finds them watching and ready!
Canbàa ya pundi yɔgsiigu bii siŋaafaani, ki sua ke bi cegni ki guu o, lan ya tuonsɔnba baa mi yedŋanma n yeni.
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.
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 You must also be ready, for the Son of man is coming when you don't expect him.”
Yin egni iba, ki ya guu kelimaa i ki baniO Ja bijua n ́ ba guaniya yognu.
41 “Is this story you're telling just for us, or for everyone?” Peter asked.
Pieri ń buali: «O Diedo, a pua lan ya kpanjama tinba baba ya po bii, li tie yuakuli ya po i?»
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 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 It will be good for that servant when his master returns and finds him doing what he should.
o canbáa ya kpeni ki sua ke o tuuni lan buali maama, lanya tuonsɔnlo baa mi yedŋanma n yeni.
44 I tell you the truth, the master will put that servant in charge of everything.
I mɔmɔni n maadi yi, canbáa ba taa o piama kuli ki piani lanya tonsɔnlo.
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 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 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.
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 That servant who knew what his master wanted and yet didn't get ready or follow his instructions, will be beaten severely;
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 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.
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 have come to set the earth on fire, and I really wish it was already burning!
«N cua ki tinga po ke min sia mu i. N sugni ke li mu ji co i.
50 But I have a baptism to go through, and I'm in agony, wishing it was over!
N pia mi ñinwulma, ke bi ba wuli nni. I ki bani min bua tonma maama, ke li kuli ń tieni ki tii.
51 Do you think that I came to bring peace on earth? No, I tell you, I bring 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 From now on, if there are five in a family, they will be divided against each other: 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 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.”
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 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 maadi ku niwulgu yaali ne: «I ya la taayinbɔnu puoli, i yi maadi: “Ki taaga ba nii!” Lan go tieni yeni.
55 When a south wind blows, you say ‘it's going to be hot,’ and it is.
Mi faawaama ya fii nintuali, i yi maadi: “Ku wulgu ba tieni!” Lan go 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 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 Why don't you think for yourselves and judge what's the right thing to do?
Li tieni ledi i, ke yi kan fidi ki tuodi ki cegni yaali n tiegi i po mɔlane?
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.
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 tell you, you won't get out until you've paid the last penny.”
N maadi a, a kan ña li kpaadidieli nni, kaa pani a pana kuli ki gbeni.»
