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 all of you of the leaven of the Pharisees, which is hypocrisy.
Mu kiseera ekyo ekibiina ky’abantu bangi nnyo, ne bakuŋŋaana n’okulinnyaganako ne balinnyaganako. Awo Yesu n’akyukira abayigirizwa be, n’abalabula ng’agamba nti, “Mwekuume ekizimbulukusa bwe bannanfuusi bw’Abafalisaayo.
2 For there is nothing covered, that shall not be revealed; neither hid, that shall not be known.
Tewali ekyakisibwa ekitalimanyibwa, newaakubadde ekyakwekebwa ekitalizuulibwa.
3 Therefore whatsoever all of you have spoken in darkness shall be heard in the light; and that which all of you have spoken in the ear in closets shall be proclaimed upon the housetops.
Noolwekyo bye mwogeredde mu kizikiza biriwulirwa mu musana, n’ebyo bye mwogedde mu kaama, nga muli mu kisenge n’enzigi nga nzigale, bigenda kulangirirwa ku busolya bw’ennyumba.
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.
“Kaakano mikwano gyange, temubatyanga abo abatta omubiri, naye ne batabaako kirala kye bayinza kukola.
5 But I will forewarn you whom all of you shall fear: Fear him, which after he has killed has power to cast into hell; yea, I say unto you, Fear him. (Geenna g1067)
Naye nzija kubalaga gwe musaanidde okutya. Mutyenga oyo alina obuyinza okutta ate n’okusuula mu ggeyeena. Weewaawo mbagamba nti oyo gwe musaanye okutyanga. (Geenna g1067)
6 Are not five sparrows sold for two farthings, and not one of them is forgotten before God?
Enkazaluggya ettaano tezigula sente bbiri zokka? Naye Katonda tazeerabira wadde emu bw’eti.
7 But even the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Fear not therefore: all of you are of more value than many sparrows.
Era amanyi enviiri eziri ku mutwe gwo nga bwe zenkana obungi. Temutya kubanga mmwe muli ba muwendo nnyo okusinga enkazaluggya ennyingi.
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:
“Era mbategeeza nti buli anjatula mu maaso g’abantu, n’Omwana w’Omuntu, alimwatula mu maaso ga bamalayika ba Katonda.
9 But he that denies me before men shall be denied before the angels of God.
Naye oyo anneegaanira mu maaso g’abantu, n’Omwana w’Omuntu alimwegaanira mu maaso ga bamalayika ba Katonda.
10 And whosoever shall speak a word (logos) against the Son of man, it shall be forgiven him: but unto him that blasphemes against the Holy Spirit (pneuma) it shall not be forgiven.
Na buli muntu alyogera ekigambo ku Mwana w’Omuntu alisonyiyibwa, naye oyo alivvoola Mwoyo Mutukuvu tagenda kusonyiyibwa.
11 And when they bring you unto the synagogues, and unto magistrates, and powers, take all of you no thought how or what thing all of you shall answer, or what all of you shall say:
“Bwe banaabatwalanga mu makuŋŋaaniro, ne mu maaso g’abafuzi ne mu b’obuyinza temweraliikiriranga kye mulyogera mu kuwoza,
12 For the Holy Spirit (pneuma) shall teach you in the same hour what all of you ought to say.
kubanga Mwoyo Mutukuvu agenda kubawa eky’okwogera mu kiseera ekyo kyennyini.”
13 And one of the company said unto him, Master, speak to my brother, that he divide the inheritance with me.
Awo omuntu omu mu kibiina n’avaayo n’agamba Yesu nti, “Omuyigiriza, gamba muganda wange angabanyize ku by’obusika bwaffe.”
14 And he said unto him, Man, who made me a judge or a divider over you?
Naye Yesu n’amuddamu nti, “Owange, ani eyanfuula omulamuzi wammwe oba ow’okubamaliranga empaka zammwe?”
15 And he said unto them, Take heed, and beware of covetousness: for a man's life consists not in the abundance of the things which he possesses.
N’abagamba nti, “Mwekuume! Temululunkananga. Kubanga obulamu bw’omuntu tebugererwa ku bugagga bw’abeera nabwo.”
16 And he spoke a parable unto them, saying, The ground of a certain rich man brought forth plentifully:
Awo n’abagerera olugero luno nti, “Waaliwo omusajja omugagga eyalina ennimiro n’abaza ebibala bingi.
17 And he thought within himself, saying, What shall I do, because I have no room where to bestow my fruits?
N’alowooza munda mu ye ng’agamba nti, ‘Nnaakola ntya? Kubanga sirina we nnaakuŋŋaanyiza bibala byange?’
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.
“Kwe kugamba nti, ‘Ntegedde kye nnaakola, nzija kumenyawo amawanika gange gano, nzimbewo agasingako obunene! Omwo mwe nnaakuŋŋaanyiza ebibala byange byonna n’ebintu byange.
19 And I will say to my soul, Soul, you have much goods laid up for many years; take your ease, eat, drink, and be merry.
Era nzija kugamba emmeeme yange nti, “Emmeeme, weeterekedde bingi mu mawanika go okukuyisa mu myaka mingi egijja. Wummula, olye, onywe era weesanyuse!”’
20 But God said unto him, You fool, this night your soul shall be required of you: then whose shall those things be, which you have provided?
“Naye Katonda n’amugamba nti, ‘Musirusiru ggwe! Ekiro kino emmeeme yo eneekuggibwako. Kale ebyo bye weetegekedde binaaba by’ani?’
21 So is he that lays up treasure for himself, and is not rich toward God.
“Bwe kityo bwe kiriba eri buli muntu eyeeterekera, so nga mwavu eri Katonda.”
22 And he said unto his disciples, Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what all of you shall eat; neither for the body, what all of you shall put on.
Awo Yesu n’agamba abayigirizwa be nti, “Noolwekyo mbagamba nti, Temweraliikiriranga bya bulamu bwammwe oba mmere gye munaalya oba engoye ez’okwambala.
23 The life is more than food, and the body is more than raiment.
Kubanga omwoyo gusinga wala emmere n’omubiri gusinga ebyambalo.
24 Consider the ravens: for they neither sow nor reap; which neither have storehouse nor barn; and God feeds them: how much more are all of you better than the fowls?
Mulowooze ku namuŋŋoona, tezisiga so tezikungula, era tezirina na mawanika mwe zitereka mmere yaazo, naye Katonda aziriisa. Naye mmwe muli ba muwendo nnyo okukira ennyonyi ezo!
25 And which of you with taking thought can add to his stature one cubit?
Ani ku mmwe bwe yeeraliikirira, ayinza okwongerayo obulamu bwe akatundu n’akamu?
26 If all of you then be not able to do that thing which is least, why take all of you thought for the rest?
Obanga temusobola kukola kantu katono ng’ako, kale kikugasa ki okweraliikirira ebintu ebirala?
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.
“Mutunuulire amalanga bwe gakula! Tegategana wadde okulanga ewuzi z’engoye, naye mbategeeza nti ne Sulemaani mu kitiibwa kye kyonna teyagenkana mu kwambala.
28 If then God so clothe the grass, which is to day in the field, and tomorrow is cast into the oven; how much more will he clothe you, O all of you of little faith?
Kale, obanga Katonda ayambaza bw’atyo omuddo ogw’omu nsiko, ogw’ekiseera obuseera ogubaawo leero ate enkeera ne gwokebwa mu kyoto, naye ate talisingawo nnyo okwambaza mmwe ab’okukkiriza okutono!
29 And seek not all of you what all of you shall eat, or what all of you shall drink, neither be all of you of doubtful mind.
Temunoonyanga kye munaalya oba kye munaanywa, era temweraliikiriranga n’akatono.
30 For all these things do the nations of the world seek after: and your Father knows that all of you have need of these things.
Kubanga ebintu ebyo byonna amawanga ge biyaayaanira, naye Kitammwe amanyi nga mubyetaaga.
31 But rather seek all of you the kingdom of God; and all these things shall be added unto you.
Naye munoonye obwakabaka bwe, n’ebintu ebyo mulibyongerwako.
32 Fear not, little flock; for it is your Father's good pleasure to give you the kingdom.
“Temutya, mmwe ekisibo ekitono, kubanga Kitammwe asiimye okubawa obwakabaka.
33 Sell that all of you have, and give alms; provide yourselves bags which wax not old, a treasure in the heavens that fails not, where no thief approaches, neither moth corrupts.
Mutunde ebintu byammwe, ensimbi ze muggyamu muzigabire abo abeetaaga, mwetungire ensawo ezitakaddiwa era mweterekere mu ggulu mu tterekero eritaggwaamu bintu, omubbi gy’atasembera wadde ennyenje gye zitayonoonera.
34 For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.
Kubanga obugagga bwo gye buli, n’omutima gwo gye gunaabeeranga.
35 Let your loins be girded about, and your lights burning;
“Mube beetegefu olw’obuweereza, era mukuume ettabaaza zammwe nga zaaka.
36 And all of you yourselves like unto men that wait for their lord, when he will return from the wedding; that when he comes and knocks, they may open unto him immediately.
Mube ng’abasajja abalindirira mukama waabwe; bw’akomawo okuva mu mbaga y’obugole, n’akonkona banguwa okumuggulirawo oluggi.
37 Blessed are those servants, whom the lord when he comes shall find watching: verily I say unto you, that he shall gird himself, and make them to sit down to food, and will come forth and serve them.
Balina omukisa abaddu abo, mukama waabwe baalisanga nga batunula. Ddala ddala mbagamba nti, agenda kwambala atuuze abaddu abo ku mmeeza abagabule.
38 And if he shall come in the second watch, or come in the third watch, and find them so, blessed are those servants.
Balina omukisa abo, bw’alijja mu kisisimuka ekyokusatu, baalisanga nga batunula.
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.
“Naye mutegeere kino: singa ssemaka amanya essaawa omubbi w’anaayingirira okumenya ennyumba ye, teyandiganyizza mubbi kumuyingirira.
40 Be all of you therefore ready also: for the Son of man comes at an hour when all of you think not.
Noolwekyo mubeere beetegefu. Kubanga Omwana w’Omuntu, ajjira mu kiseera kye mutamulowoolezaamu.”
41 Then Peter said unto him, Lord, speak you this parable unto us, or even to all?
Awo Peetero n’amubuuza nti, “Mukama waffe, olugero luno olugeredde ffe, oba bonna?”
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 food in due season?
Mukama waffe n’addamu nti, “Omuweereza oyo omwesigwa era ow’amagezi ye aluwa mukama we gw’alikwasa obuvunaanyizibwa obw’okulabirira abaweereza be n’okugaba emmere mu kiseera ekituufu?
43 Blessed is that servant, whom his lord when he comes shall find so doing.
Alina omukisa mukama we bw’alikomawo gw’alisanga ng’atuukiriza bulungi emirimu gye.
44 Truthfully I say unto you, that he will make him ruler over all that he has.
Ddala ddala mbagamba nti mukama we alimukwasa okulabirira ebintu bye byonna.
45 But and if that servant say in his heart, My lord delays his coming; and shall begin to beat the male servants and maidens, and to eat and drink, and to be drunken;
Naye singa omuddu oyo alowooza mu mutima gwe nti, ‘Mukama wange ajja kulwawo okudda,’ n’adda ku baweereza banne, n’abakuba, n’ebiseera bye n’abimala mu kulya ne mu kunywa ne mu kutamiira,
46 The lord of that servant will come in a day when he looks not for him, and at an hour when he is not aware, and will cut him in two, and will appoint him his portion with the unbelievers.
mukama we agenda kudda mu kiseera ky’atamusuubira, amubonereze, era amusuule eyo abatakkiriza gye bali.
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.
“Omuweereza oyo eyamanya mukama we by’ayagala akole, kyokka ye n’atabikola agenda kuweebwa ekibonerezo kinene.
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.
Naye ataamanya n’akola ebisaanidde okumukubya alikubwa kitono. Oyo aweebwa ebingi alisuubirwamu bingi, n’oyo gwe basigira ebingi, alivunaanyizibwa bingi okusingawo.
49 I am come to send fire on the earth; and what will I, if it be already kindled?
“Najja kuleeta muliro ku nsi, era kyandibadde kirungi singa gukoledde!
50 But I have a baptism to be baptized with; and how am I straitened till it be accomplished!
Nninayo okubatizibwa kwe ndibatizibwa, naye nzija kuba mu nnaku nnyingi nga tekunnaba kutuukirizibwa!
51 Suppose all of you that I am come to give peace on earth? I tell you, Nay; but rather division:
Mulowooza nti najja kuleeta mirembe ku nsi? Mbategeeza nti sajja kuleeta mirembe wabula okwawukana.
52 For from henceforth there shall be five in one house divided, three against two, and two against three.
Okuva kaakano amaka gajjanga kwawukanamu, ag’abantu abataano, abasatu ku bo nga bawakanya ababiri, n’ababiri nga bawakanya abasatu.
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.
Kitaawe w’omwana alyawukana ne mutabani we, n’omwana n’ayawukana ne kitaawe, ne nnyina w’omwana alyawukana ne muwala we n’omuwala n’ayawukana ne nnyina, ne nnyazaala balyawukana ne muka mwana we ne muka mwana n’ayawukana ne nnyazaala we.”
54 And he said also to the people, When all of you see a cloud rise out of the west, immediately all of you say, There comes a shower; and so it is.
Awo Yesu n’akyukira ekibiina n’abagamba nti, “Bwe mulaba ebire nga byekuluumulula ebugwanjuba, amangwago mugamba nti, ‘Enkuba egenda kutonnya,’ era n’etonnya.
55 And when all of you see the south wind blow, all of you say, There will be heat; and it comes to pass.
Ate empewo bw’ekunta ng’eva ku bukiikaddyo, mugamba nti, ‘Leero akasana kajja kwaka nnyo,’ era bwe kiba.
56 All of you hypocrites, all of you can discern the face of the sky and of the earth; but how is it that all of you do not discern this time?
Bannanfuusi mmwe! Musobola bulungi okunnyonnyola obubonero obuli ku nsi ne mu bbanga, muyinza mutya obutamanya obubonero obw’omu kiseera kino?
57 Yea, and why even of yourselves judge all of you not what is right?
“Lwaki temwesalirawo ekyo kye mulaba nga kituufu?
58 When you go with your adversary to the magistrate, as you are in the way, give diligence that you may be delivered from him; lest he hale you to the judge, and the judge deliver you to the officer, and the officer cast you into prison.
Bw’obanga ogenda n’akuwawaabira mu mbuga z’amateeka, gezaako okumusaba ensonga zammwe muzimalire mu kkubo nga tezinnatuuka wa mulamuzi, talwa kukutwala wa mulamuzi, n’omulamuzi n’akuwaayo eri omuserikale, n’omuserikale n’akusibira mu kkomera.
59 I tell you, you shall not depart thence, till you have paid the very last mite.
Kubanga nkutegeeza nti togenda kuvaayo okutuusa nga ne sente esembayo omaze okugisasula.”
