Luke 12
1 IN the mean time, when there were gathered together an innumerable multitude of people, 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.
Munako zana, chikiti chavantu chibena hamwina, mbwita nibalilyata jo bungi, chatanga kuwamba kuva rutwana bakwe, Mutokomere mulungo wava Farisi, iri kuliha
2 For there is nothing covered, that shall not be revealed; neither hid, that shall not be known.
Kono kakwina chinchinte, chete nichi kanwe kwi zibahazwa,
3 Therefore whatsoever ye have spoken in darkness shall be heard in the light; and that which ye have spoken in the ear in closets shall be proclaimed upon the housetops.
Cwale chose cimu va wambi mwififi kachi zibahazwe mwiseli, mi chimubali kushovota muma ntwi kachi huwerezwe hakantungandi ke zuvo.
4 And I say unto you my friends, Be not afraid of them that kill the body, and after that have no more that they can do.
Ni wamba kwenu balikani, kanji muntiyi behaya mubili, kuzwa ho kavena chimwi chiva ola kupanga,
5 But I will forewarn 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)
Kono me ni mikalimera kuamana neni umowola kutiya. Mutiye yenke uzo Hamana kwi haya, wina ziho zo kutumina mwi here, Eye, Ni miwambira, mumutiye. (Geenna g1067)
6 Are not five sparrows sold for two farthings, and not one of them is forgotten before God?
Kena kuti tuzuni tukuma he yanza limwina tu uziwa hetenko i likana tukoviri to Vere? Kono nanganti konke kutuli kase hupulwa kweIreza.
7 But even the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Fear not therefore: ye are of more value than many sparrows.
Kono nangati i mpalo ye nsunki nzenu ivalitwe, Kanji mutiyi. Mwina butokwa kuhita tuzuni tungi.
8 Also I say unto you, Whosoever shall confess me before men, him shall the Son of man also confess before the angels of God:
Ni wamba kwenu, yense yo niwamba havusu bwa bantu, Mwana u muntu kaka muwambe naye habusu bwa mañiloyi e Ireza.
9 But he that denieth me before men shall be denied before the angels of God.
kono nyense yo nisampula havusu bwa Vvantu kaka sampulwe havunsu bwa mañiloyi e Reza.
10 And whosoever shall speak a word against the Son of man, it shall be forgiven him: but unto him that blasphemeth against the Holy Ghost it shall not be forgiven.
Yense yo wamba linzwi ivilala kuamana ni mwana wo Muntu, ka wonderwe awo mazwi, kono kozo yo wamba vuvilala kuamana ni Luhuho lu Njolola, kasana a wonderwe.
11 And when they bring you unto the synagogues, and unto magistrates, and powers, take ye no thought how or what thing ye shall answer, or what ye shall say:
Hasana kava mi lete havusu bwa masinangonge, va yendisi, ni vena ha muvuso, kanji ni muvireri kuamana nimwete ni mwi tavire ku amana ni kulizimanina, kamba chete ni muwambe,
12 For the Holy Ghost shall teach you in the same hour what ye ought to say.
kakuli Luhuho lu Njolola kalumi ka lumi lute mweyo nako chizi chi muswanera kuwamba.
13 And one of the company said unto him, Master, speak to my brother, that he divide the inheritance with me.
Linu zumwi mukati kechisi cha cho kwali, “Muruti, wambire mukulwangu kuti a liyavire chifumu chavayoli name.”
14 And he said unto him, Man, who made me a judge or a divider over you?
Jesu cha kwa li, “Mukwame, Jeni wani vika mu atuli kamba muzimanini hakati kenu?”
15 And he said unto them, Take heed, and beware of covetousness: for a man’s life consisteth not in the abundance of the things which he possesseth.
Mi chati kuvali muli tokomere kobona kuti mulizwisa ku takazo yonse yomuuna, kakuti vuhalpo vo muntu kabwina vulyo hachi fumu chali kunganize muntu.”
16 And he spake a parable unto them, saying, The ground of a certain rich man brought forth plentifully:
Linu Jesu chava wambira i nguli, ni kucho Iuwa lo mukwame yavali kufumite, luvali kuvikite ahulu,
17 And he thought within himself, saying, What shall I do, because I have no room where to bestow my fruits?
mi chali wambira ni kucho, chizi chete ni pange kakuli kanina chiviko cho kuvika zilyo zina lima?
18 And he said, This will I do: I will pull down my barns, and build greater; and there will I bestow all my fruits and my goods.
Cha wamba, í chi jichona chete ni pange. Mu ni wise hansi zishente zangu ni kuzaka zikando ahulku, umo mwete ni vinke vuhenke bwangu vonse ni zimwi zimera zete ni sinze.
19 And I will say to my soul, Soul, thou hast much goods laid up for many years; take thine ease, eat, drink, and be merry.
Muni wambe ku luhuho lwangu, “luhuho, wina zilyo zingi zisizitwe zonso seberise zirimo zingi. Pumule hande, lye, nwe, unsese.”
20 But God said unto him, Thou fool, this night thy soul shall be required of thee: then whose shall those things be, which thou hast provided?
Kono Ireza cha cho kwali, 'Chihole cho mukwame, masiku a nsunu luhuho lwako luhindiwa kwanko, mi nzintu ziwa lukisa, muzive zani?'
21 So is he that layeth up treasure for himself, and is not rich toward God.
China mwe kalire muntu yoli kunganyiza chifumu kwali mi kafumite havusu bwe Ireza.”
22 And he said unto his disciples, Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat; neither for the body, what ye shall put on.
Jesu cha wamba kuva lutwana bakwe, “Cwale he nicho kwenu, kanji muivireri kuamana ni vuhalo bwenu - chizi chese mulye, kamba kuyana nizo mubiri wenu - chinzi chete muzwate.
23 The life is more than meat, and the body is more than raiment.
Kakuti vuhalo bwina butokwa kuhita zilyo, mi muviri wina butokwa kuhita zizwato.
24 Consider the ravens: for they neither sow nor reap; which neither have storehouse nor barn; and God feedeth them: how much more are ye better than the fowls?
Mulemuhe ma ñwarara, kuti kava byali kamba kusiza. Kazina zivinko kamba zishete, kono Ireza uzilelra. Muvo vutokwa vule kuhita zizuni!
25 And which of you with taking thought can add to his stature one cubit?
Mi jeni kwenu choku virera u wola kuyekeza i zuva kuvuhalo bwakwe?
26 If ye then be not able to do that thing which is least, why take ye thought for the rest?
Cwale haiva kamu oli kupanga nanga nti chitu chinini, chinzi hamu virera kuamana ni nzonse?
27 Consider the lilies how they grow: they toil not, they spin not; and yet I say unto you, that Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these.
Mulemuhe tuyanga yanga mutumenena - zikula vule. Kazi sevezi, kamba kuhosa. Kono ni cho kwenu, nanga Salumoni mwi kanya yakwe kenba aba zwatikiwa uvu ji limwi.
28 If then God so clothe the grass, which is to day in the field, and to morrow is cast into the oven; how much more will he clothe you, O ye of little faith?
Haiva Iraza uzwatika lyani lyomukanda, lina kwateni nsunu, mi inzona lizindirwa muhisa, inwe cwale mwa mizwatike vule, mawe inwe ve tumero inini!
29 And seek not ye what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink, neither be ye of doubtful mind.
Kanji mungani zete mulye kamba zete munwe kanji mu vireri.
30 For all these things do the nations of the world seek after: and your Father knoweth that ye have need of these things.
Kakuli inkanda zonse ze fasi bangana inzi nzintu, mi Ishenu wizi kuti musaka inzi zintu.
31 But rather seek ye the kingdom of God; and all these things shall be added unto you.
Kono musake mubuso wakwe, mi inzi zintu ka muziyekerezwe.
32 Fear not, little flock; for it is your Father’s good pleasure to give you the kingdom.
Kanji mutiyi, tumberere tunini, kakuli i shenu i sangitwe kumiha Muvuso.
33 Sell that ye have, and give alms; provide yourselves bags which wax not old, a treasure in the heavens that faileth not, where no thief approacheth, neither moth corrupteth.
Mu uze maluwo enu mi muhe kuva shevete. Muli pangire ziviko zisa woli kusupala - Vufumu mwi wulu muzisa mani, uko kusengiri vasa mi Ifulapepe kuzisa shinyi.
34 For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.
Kakuti kwina chifumu chenu, uko ni inkulo yenu kwete ive nayo.
35 Let your loins be girded about, and your lights burning;
Imunda zenu zisuminwe muma tunga mi malambi enu a zwirenhavusu ni kumbukuka,
36 And ye yourselves like unto men that wait for their lord, when he will return from the wedding; that when he cometh and knocketh, they may open unto him immediately.
mi muswane uvu vantu bakwete kulola muyendisi wavo chakavola kumukiti we senso, iri kuti cha keza ni kwiza kungongo ta, yahaho bamwi yalwira mulyango.
37 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 to sit down to meat, and will come forth and serve them.
Imbuyoti yaba bahikana, vesana keza wanikize niva lindire chakeza. Chama niti ni miwambire kuti keza nsumine ziwato zakwe zile mumunda che tunga, ni kuve kalika hasi kuzilyo, mi mwakeze nikwiza kuva haza.
38 And if he shall come in the second watch, or come in the third watch, and find them so, blessed are those servants.
Haiva muyendisi ukeza malunga siku, kamba kalya butatu bwe nako, ni kwiza kuva wana vali tukise, Imbuyoti zavo vahikana.
39 And this know, that if the goodman of the house had known what hour the thief would come, he would have watched, and not have suffered his house to be broken through.
Konohape mwizive inchi, kuti haiva muyendisi we nzuvo ave zivite inako iyo musa avali kukeza, nasana a va siyiriri inzuvo yakwe ni iñatulwa.
40 Be ye therefore ready also: for the Son of man cometh at an hour when ye think not.
Mulitukiseze nanwe vulyo, kakuti kamwizi inako iyo mwana o Muntu sana keze.”
41 Then Peter said unto him, Lord, speakest thou this parable unto us, or even to all?
Pitorosi chati, “Simwine, uwambira iyi nguli kwetu fera, kamba niku vantu vonse?”
42 And the Lord said, Who then is that faithful and wise steward, whom his lord shall make ruler over his household, to give them their portion of meat in due season?
Mi Simwine chati, “Njeni he you sepahala ni kutalifa muyendisi simwine yata vike vuyendisi he wulu lya va hikana kuti a kuva hanga zilyo che nako iswanera?
43 Blessed is that servant, whom his lord when he cometh shall find so doing.
Ufuyaulitwe uzo muhikana, uzo muyendisi wakwe keza wane napanga izo hakeza.
44 Of a truth I say unto you, that he will make him ruler over all that he hath.
Cheniti niwamba kwenu kamuvike vuyendisi bwe luwo lyakwe.
45 But and if that servant say in his heart, My lord delayeth his coming; and shall begin to beat the menservants and maidens, and to eat and drink, and to be drunken;
Kono haiva uzo muhikana nali wambnira mwinkulo ya kwe, 'Simwine wangu unlyeha kuku vola; mi utanga ku mbupola bahikana vava kwame ni ve chanakazi Vahikana, ni kulya ni nwa, ni kukolwa,
46 The lord of that servant will come in a day when he looketh not for him, and at an hour when he is not aware, and will cut him in sunder, and will appoint him his portion with the unbelievers.
simwine wozuna mu hikana kakeze mwizuba lyasa mulindire, ni mwi nako yasenzi mi kamu konsole mutu vindivindi nikumu tumina kuchi vaka chimwi navana vasasepahali.
47 And that servant, which knew his lord’s will, and prepared not himself, neither did according to his will, shall be beaten with many stripes.
Zuna muhikana, hace zivite mihupulo ya simwine wakwe, mi kena ava lukise kamba kuyendereza mwa sakira, kakaviwe cha mafaindi mangi.
48 But he that knew not, and did commit things worthy of stripes, shall be beaten with few stripes. For unto whomsoever much is given, of him shall be much required: and to whom men have committed much, of him they will ask the more.
Kono uzo yasana a bezivite, kakaviwe chama faindi mache. Zumwi ni zumwi kwali kuherwe a hulu, zingi kazi sakahane kwali, mi kwali vava sepahali ahulu, kava vuze zingi ahulu kwali.
49 I am come to send fire on the earth; and what will I, if it be already kindled?
Ni vakezi kuzindira muliro mwi kanda, mi muni sangirwa kuti kamba ciwuva mbukulwa kale.
50 But I have a baptism to be baptized with; and how am I straitened till it be accomplished!
Kono nina i nkolovezo ini swanera kukolovezwa chayo, mi kaini kalikite hande konji chiya lizuziriza!
51 Suppose ye that I am come to give peace on earth? I tell you, Nay; but rather division:
Muhupula kuti ni va kezi kuleta inkozo mwi ikanda? Ne, Ni ki wambira, kono niva leti ikauhano.
52 For from henceforth there shall be five in one house divided, three against two, and two against three.
Cwale kuzwa hanu kuya kuvusu, mukube mwizuvo nyonke inkauhano zeyanza lyonke - vantu vo tatwe kulyisa vovere, vantu vo vere kulwisa vantu vo tatwe.
53 The father shall be divided against the son, and the son against the father; the mother against the daughter, and the daughter against the mother; the mother in law against her daughter in law, and the daughter in law against her mother in law.
Kava kauhane mushemi we chikwame kulwisa mwana kwe we chiswisu, ni mwana we chiswisu kulwisa isi; mushemi we chanakazi kulwisa mwanakwe we chikazana, ni mwana kazana kulwisa nyina; mukwenyani we chanakazi kulwisa mukwenyana kwe we chikazana, ni mukwenyani we chikazana kulwisa mukwenyanakwe we chanakazi.”
54 And he said also to the people, When ye see a cloud rise out of the west, straightway ye say, There cometh a shower; and so it is.
Jesu avali kuwamba ni kuchisi bulyo,”Hamubona i kope lizimana kubwimino, yahaho mu wamba, 'I vula ikezite; mi iza kuva bulyo.
55 And when ye see the south wind blow, ye say, There will be heat; and it cometh to pass.
Mi haiva luhuho lo kwiyaza lye chimonso ni hunga, mu wamba, 'Mukuhise a hulu nsunu; mi kwiza kuva vulyo.
56 Ye hypocrites, ye can discern the face of the sky and of the earth; but how is it that ye do not discern this time?
Balihere, mwinzi kutoloka mayemo e kanda ni e wulu, linu vule hape hamusezi muku tolokerwa i nako ya hanu?
57 Yea, and why even of yourselves judge ye not what is right?
Chinzi hamusa atuli zina hande kwenu?
58 When thou goest with thine adversary to the magistrate, as thou art in the way, give diligence that thou mayest be delivered from him; lest he hale thee to the judge, and the judge deliver thee to the officer, and the officer cast thee into prison.
Kakuli haiva no yenda niyo ku zekisa kumu atuli, mu zira ulike ahulu kuti mumane indava naye, iri kuli kanji naka kutambinki kumu atuli, mi kuti muatuli kanji a kaku tambiki kumu yendisi, mi munyendisi kanji a kakusoheri mwi ntorongo.
59 I tell thee, thou shalt not depart thence, till thou hast paid the very last mite.
Ni wamba kwenu, kasana ko zwe mwateni konji hete no lihire ishereñi yama manimani yo kwete.”
