< Luke 12 >

1 In the meane time, there gathered together an innumerable multitude of people, so that they trode one another: and he began to say vnto his disciples first, Take heede to your selues of the leauen of the Pharises, which is hypocrisie.
Pacindico bantu mpobalabungana kwalikuba Yesu, bantu balatatika kulyatana cebo cakufula, Yesu walatanguna kwambila beshikwiya bakendi eti, “Kamucenjelani kamutabeti cishikufufumisha shinkwa ca Bafalisi, pakwinga nkabenshi ncobakute kwamba.
2 For there is nothing couered, that shall not bee reueiled: neither hidde, that shall not be knowen.
Kantu kalikonse kafwekewa nikakafwekulwe nambi kasolama nikakenshibikwe.
3 Wherefore whatsoeuer yee haue spoken in darkenesse, it shall be heard in the light: and that which ye haue spoken in the eare, in secret places, shall be preached on the houses.
Neco bilibyonse mbyomulamba mumushinshe nibikanyufwike patuba pa bonse, mbyomulabelebeshana ne muntu mucipinda nibikambwe pamenso a bantu.”
4 And I say vnto you, my friendes, be not afraide of them that kill the bodie, and after that are not able to doe any more.
“Ndamwambilinga mobanse mutatina abo beshikushina mubili, nomba kuliya nacimbi ncobela kwinsapo.
5 But I wil forewarne you, who ye shall feare: feare him which after hee hath killed, hath power to cast into hell: yea, I say vnto you, him feare. (Geenna g1067)
Lino ndamwambilingeti ngomwelela kutina ni Lesa uyo ukute kushina buyumi bwa muntu, kayi ukute ngofu shakumuwalani mumulilo utapu, mumutinenga Lesa.” (Geenna g1067)
6 Are not fiue sparowes bought for two farthings, and yet not one of them is forgotten before God?
Sena Tutite tusanu ntebakute kulishiwa ne tumali tung'ana twa mangwe? Lino kuliya nambi umo Lesa ngwakute kulubapo.
7 Yea, and all the heares of your head are nombred: feare not therefore: yee are more of value then many sparowes.
Nomba mishishi yenu ili mumutwi mwenu yonse waibelenga. Neco mutatinanga pakwinga amwe mwadula kupita baciba bangi.
8 Also I say vnto you, Whosoeuer shall confesse mee before men, him shall the Sonne of man confesse also before the Angels of God.
“Ndamwambilinga cakubinga, muntu uliyense lansumininga pamenso abantu, nenjame nde Mwana Muntu ninkamusumine pamenso a bangelo ba Lesa.
9 But hee that shall denie mee before men, shall be denied before the Angels of God.
Nsombi Muntu uliyense lankananga pamenso a bantu, nenjame nde Mwana Muntu ninkamukane pamenso a bangelo ba Lesa.”
10 And whosoeuer shall speake a woorde against the Sonne of man, it shall be forgiuen him: but vnto him, that shall blaspheme ye holy Ghost, it shall not be forgiuen.
“Muntu uliyense weshi kwamba maswi aipa pa Mwana Muntu inga ulekelelwa, nsombi muntu uliyense weshikusampula Mushimu Uswepa, nteshi akalekelelwepo.”
11 And when they shall bring you vnto the Synagogues, and vnto the rulers and Princes, take no thought howe, or what thing ye shall answere, or what yee shall speake.
“Bakamwikata kwambeti bakamubeteke mung'anda yakupaililamo, kuli beshikwendelesha nambi kubaleli, mutakasukameti, nimukumbuleconi, nekukaba kuyeyeti nomba nituye twambe cani?
12 For the holy Ghost shall teache you in the same houre, what yee ought to say.
Pakwinga Mushimu Uswepa nakamwishibishe ncomwelela kwamba pacindico.”
13 And one of the companie said vnto him, Master, bidde my brother deuide the inheritance with me.
Umbi muntu walikuba mulikoto walambila Yesu eti, “Beshikwiyisha, kamumwambila mukwetu ampeko buboni bwalashiya bata balobe.”
14 And he said vnto him, Man, who made me a iudge, or a deuider ouer you?
Nsombi Yesu wamukumbuleti, “Obe nomba niyani walampa incito yakumubeteka amwe nambi kuyabanya bintu byalamushila bameshenu balobe?”
15 Wherefore he said vnto them, Take heede, and beware of couetousnesse: for though a man haue abundance, yet his life standeth not in his riches.
Lino Yesu walapitilisha kubambila bantu, “Kamucenjelani kayi mutaba bantu basunishi buboni. Pakwinga buyumi bwa muntu nkabwela kupimwa ne buboni mbwakute.”
16 And he put foorth a parable vnto them, saying, The grounde of a certaine riche man brought foorth fruites plenteously.
Kayi Yesu walabambila mukoshanyo eti, “Umbi muntu mubile walikukute libala umo mwalekata byakulya bingi.
17 Therefore he thought with himselfe, saying, What shall I doe, because I haue no roume, where I may lay vp my fruites?
Mpwalaboneco walatatika kuyeya mumoyo eti, ‘Ndiya butala bunene mwakubika byakulya byakame byonse ibi ninjinseconi’
18 And he said, This wil I do, I wil pul downe my barnes, and builde greater, and therein will I gather all my fruites, and my goods.
Lino walambeti, ‘Nimwaye matala akame nekwibaka ambi anene kwambeti mbikemo byakulya ne buboni bwakame bumbi bonse.
19 And I wil say to my soule, Soule, thou hast much goods laide vp for many yeeres: liue at ease, eate, drinke and take thy pastime.
Lino ninkambile moyo wakameti, ukute buboni bwingi bwakwana byaka bingi. Neco pumwina, kolya ne kunwa nekukondwa.’
20 But God said vnto him, O foole, this night wil they fetch away thy soule from thee: then whose shall those things be which thou hast prouided?
Nsombi Lesa walamwambileti, ‘Omuluya! Lelo lyopele mashiku nufwe. Nomba bintu byonse ibi mbyowalabamba kushikila cino cindi nibibe byabani?”
21 So is he that gathereth riches to himselfe, and is not riche in God.
Lino Yesu pakupwisha walambeti, “Encoti cikabe kuli abo beshikulibunjikila buboni, kakuli pamenso a Lesa baliyapo buboni.”
22 And he spake vnto his disciples, Therefore I say vnto you, Take no thought for your life, what yee shall eate: neither for your body, what yee shall put on.
Yesu walambila beshikwiya bakendi eti, “Pacebo ici ndamwambilingeti mutalisukama pa buyumi bwenu eti nitulye cani nambi nitufwale cani.
23 The life is more then meate: and the body more then the raiment.
Pakwinga buyumi bwapita byakulya, ne mubili wapita byakufwala.
24 Consider the rauens: for they neither sowe nor reape: which neither haue storehouse nor barne, and yet God feedeth them: how much more are yee better then foules?
Kamubonani bikwangala, nkabishanga, nkabitebulu biliya ng'anda yakusungilamo bintu nambi manga. Nsombi Lesa ukute kubisanina. Sena nkamwinshi kwambeti Lesa umusuni kupita bikeni?
25 And which of you with taking thought, can adde to his stature one cubite?
Niyani palyamwe welakunungilako busuba bumo kubuyumi bwakendi?
26 If yee then bee not able to doe the least thing, why take yee thought for the remnant?
Nomba na nkamwela kucikonsha kwinsa kantu kang'ana eti ako, nipacebo cini mulasukamanga pa bintu bimbi ibyo?
27 Consider the lilies howe they growe: they labour not, neither spin they: yet I say vnto you, that Salomon himselfe in all his royaltie was not clothed like one of these.
Kamubonani maluba ncakute kukula. Nkakute kusebensa nambi kutunga byakufwala, nsombi ndamwambilingeti nambi Mwami Solomoni mububile bwakendi bonse, liya kubapo ne byakufwala byaina byalaboneka eti limo pa malubayo.
28 If then God so clothe the grasse which is to day in the field, and to morowe is cast into the ouen, howe much more will he clothe you, O yee of litle faith?
Lino na ni Lesa ukute kufwalika mwila uyo ukute kwinsa lelo mpouli, lilo bauwala pa mulilo, nomba amwe, nkela kumufwalika? Amwe bantu balushomo lung'ana!”
29 Therefore aske not what yee shall eate, or what ye shall drinke, neither hag you in suspense.
“Weco mutasukamanga nambi kuyeyeti nimulye cani nambi kunwa.
30 For all such things the people of the world seeke for: and your Father knoweth that ye haue neede of these things.
Ibi bintu, bantu bakunsa bakute kubiyandaula, nsombi Bameshenu bacinshi kwambeti byonse mubisuni.
31 But rather seeke ye after the kingdome of God, and all these things shalbe cast vpon you.
Neco kamuyandaulani Bwami bwa Lesa, nakamupeni bintu byonse ibyo.”
32 Feare not, litle flocke: for it is your Fathers pleasure, to giue you the kingdome.
“Amwe kalikoto kang'ana kambelele shakame, mutatina pakwinga Bameshenu balayanda kumupa Bwami.
33 Sell that ye haue, and giue almes: make you bagges, which waxe not old, a treasure that can neuer faile in heauen, where no theefe commeth, neither mothe corrupteth.
Kamulishani buboni mbomukute, mali mupe bapenga. Kamulilangwela mpotomona shitabolo kayi mubike buboni bwenu kwilu nkweti bukabule kubola, pakwinga kuliya kabwalala wela kushikako, ne muswa nkawela kubononga.
34 For where your treasure is, there will your hearts be also.
Pakwinga myoyo yenu ikutekuba kuli bubile bwenu.”
35 Let your loynes be gird about and your lights burning,
“Kamubani balibambila cindi conse kayi malampi enu abenga abangila lyonse.
36 And ye your selues like vnto men that waite for their master, when he will returne from the wedding, that when he commeth and knocketh, they may open vnto him immediatly.
Kamubani eti basebenshi balapembelenga mwami wabo lafumunga kubwinga kwambeti mpoti ashikile ne kukonkosha, nabo bamucalwile bwangu.
37 Blessed are those seruants, whom the Lord when he commeth shall finde waking: verely I say vnto you, he will girde himselfe about, and make them to sit downe at table, and will come forth, and serue them.
Bakute colwe basebenshi beshi bakacanike kabalanga ne menso mwami wabo akabwela. Ndamwambilinga cakubingeti mwami wabo nakafwale byakufwala bya ncito nekubekalika nekubapa byakulya.
38 And if he come in the seconde watch, or come in the third watch, and shall finde them so, blessed are those seruants.
Bakute colwe basebenshi mwami mboti akacane balibambila, nambi akese pakati pamashiku nambi kumaca.
39 Nowe vnderstand this, that if the good man of the house had knowen at what houre the theefe would haue come, he would haue watched, and would not haue suffered his house to be digged through.
Nsombi kamwanukangeti, mwine ng'anda abangawenshiba cindi kabwalala ncalesanga, inga nkela kuleka kabwalala kwingila mung'anda yakendi.
40 Be ye also prepared therefore: for the Sonne of man will come at an houre when ye thinke not.
Nenjamwe copeleco, kamubani mwalibambila kumutambula Mwana Muntu pakwinga lakesanga pacindi ncomwabula kwingashila.”
41 Then Peter saide vnto him, Master, tellest thou this parable vnto vs, or euen to all?
Neye Petulo walepusheti, “Mwami, sena mukoshanyo uyu mulambilinga afwe twenka nambi bantu bonse?”
42 And the Lord saide, Who is a faithfull steward and wise, whom the master shall make ruler ouer his householde, to giue them their portion of meate in season?
Mwami Yesu walakumbuleti, nomba niyani musebenshi ukute lushomo kayi ne mano? Uyo mwami ngoshi akape incito yakulangilila bonse ba mu ng'anda yakendi nekupa banendi byakulya pacindi celela?
43 Blessed is that seruant, whom his master when he commeth, shall finde so doing.
Nakatambule cilambo musebenshi uyo mwami wakendi pakubwelela ngweti akacane nkensa ico.
44 Of a trueth I say vnto you, that he wil make him ruler ouer all that he hath.
Ndamwambilinga cakubingeti mwami wakendi nakamupe incito yakubona bintu byonse mbyakute.
45 But if that seruant say in his heart, My master doeth deferre his comming, and ginne to smite the seruants, and maydens, and to eate, and drinke, and to be drunken,
Lino na musebeshi uyo lamba mumoyo wakendi eti, mwami wakame lacelwa kwisa, lino utatika kuma basebenshi banendi batuloba ne batukashi kayi ne kutatika kulya, kunwa ne kukolwa.
46 The master of that seruant will come in a day when he thinketh not, and at an houre when he is not ware of, and will cut him off, and giue him his portion with the vnbeleeuers.
Mwami wa musebeshi uyo lakesanga pabusuba mbwateshi kayi nepa cindi ncabula kwingashila. Nakamupe cisubulo ciyosha ne kumuwala uko nkoti kukabenga bantu babula lushomo.
47 And that seruant that knewe his masters will, and prepared not himselfe, neither did according to his will, shalbe beaten with many stripes.
Musebenshi uyo wishi mwami wakendi ncasuni, nomba liya kulibambila nambi kwinsa ncasuni mwami wakendi nakamukwipe cangofu.
48 But he that knewe it not, and yet did commit things worthy of stripes, shall be beaten with fewe stripes: for vnto whomsoeuer much is giuen, of him shalbe much required, and to whom men much commit, the more of him will they aske.
Nomba musebenshi utacinshi ncasuni mwami wakendi, na lepishi mwakubula kwinshiba nakomwe pang'ana. Muntu uliyense walapewa bingi welela kubwesha bingi. Muntu walapewa bingi kwambeti asunge, nakambilwe kubwesha bingi pelu pa ibyo mbyalapewa.
49 I am come to put fire on the earth, and what is my desire, if it be already kindled?
“Ndalesa kuwala mulilo mucishi capanshi, nendakondwa kwambeti mulilo newabangila kendi!
50 Notwithstanding I must be baptized with a baptisme, and how am I grieued, till it be ended?
Nomba ndelela kwingila mulubatisho lwamapensho anene, neco moyo wakame nkawekalikana kushikila mapensho ayo akenshike.
51 Thinke ye that I am come to giue peace on earth? I tell you, nay, but rather debate.
Sena mulayeyengeti ndalaleta lumuno mucishi ca panshi? Cakubinga ndiyawa, nsombi ndalaleta kupansana.
52 For from hencefoorth there shall be fiue in one house deuided, three against two, and two against three.
Kufuma lelo mumukowa umo nimukabe bantu basanu bapatana, batatu nibakapatane nebabili. Naboyo babili nibakabukilane ne batatu
53 The father shalbe deuided against ye sonne, and the sonne against the father: the mother against the daughter, and the daughter against the mother: the mother in lawe against her daughter in lawe, and the daughter in lawe against her mother in lawe.
Baishi nibakabukile mwana mutuloba, neye mwana mutuloba nakabukile baishi, banyina nibakabukile mwana mutukashi, neye mwana mutukashi nakabukile banyina. Kumakwendi batukashi nibakabukile mulekashi, neye mulekashi nakabukile kumakwendi batukashi.”
54 Then said he to the people, When ye see a cloude rise out of the West, straightway ye say, A shower commeth: and so it is.
Yesu walambila bantu bonseti, “Na mulabono likumbi kalifumina kumboshi, mukute kwambeti, imfula niloke lelo, nicakubinga ikute kuloka.
55 And when ye see the South winde blowe, ye say, that it wilbe hoate: and it commeth to passe.
Na impepo itatika kupupula kufumina kumusansa mukute kwambeti lelo nikupye cepa, kayi kukute kuba copeleco.
56 Hypocrites, ye can discerne the face of the earth, and of the skie: but why discerne ye not this time?
Amwe bantu batenshi mbyomulambanga, mukute kwinshiba kuboneka kwa cishi capanshi ne kwilu, nomba nicani nkamukute kwinshiba bupandulushi bwa bintu bilenshikinga masuba ano?”
57 Yea, and why iudge ye not of your selues what is right?
“Nomba nipacebo cini nkamukute kwinsa byalulama mobene?
58 While thou goest with thine aduersarie to the ruler, as thou art in the way, giue diligence in the way, that thou mayest be deliuered from him, least he drawe thee to the iudge, and the iudge deliuer thee to the iayler, and the iayler cast thee into prison.
Na mulenga kunkuta ne munobe wa mulandu, wela kufwambana kunyumfwana nendi kamucili panshila, kwambeti katakutwala kuli weshi kubeteka. Pakwinga neye weshikubeteka inga ukutwala kumushilikali, neye mushilikali inga ukusunga mujele.
59 I tell thee, thou shalt not depart thence, till thou hast payed the vtmost mite.
Ndakwambilinga cakubingeti nteshi ukafumemo kushikila ukalipile byonse bilayandikinga.”
