Luke 12
1 Meanwhile the people had gathered in thousands, so that they trod on one another, when Jesus, addressing himself to his disciples, began by saying to them, “Be on your guard against the leaven – that is, the hypocrisy – of the Pharisees.
Munako zana, chikiti chavantu chibena hamwina, mbwita nibalilyata jo bungi, chatanga kuwamba kuva rutwana bakwe, Mutokomere mulungo wava Farisi, iri kuliha
2 There is nothing, however covered up, which will not be uncovered, nor anything kept secret which will not become known.
Kono kakwina chinchinte, chete nichi kanwe kwi zibahazwa,
3 So all that you have said in the dark will be heard in the light, and what you have spoken in the ear, within closed doors, will be proclaimed on the housetops.
Cwale chose cimu va wambi mwififi kachi zibahazwe mwiseli, mi chimubali kushovota muma ntwi kachi huwerezwe hakantungandi ke zuvo.
4 To you who are my friends I say, Do not be afraid of those who kill the body, but after that can do no more.
Ni wamba kwenu balikani, kanji muntiyi behaya mubili, kuzwa ho kavena chimwi chiva ola kupanga,
5 I will show you of whom you should be afraid. Be afraid of him who, after killing you, has the power to fling you into Gehenna. Yes, I say, be afraid of 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 copper coins? Yet not one of them has escaped God’s notice.
Kena kuti tuzuni tukuma he yanza limwina tu uziwa hetenko i likana tukoviri to Vere? Kono nanganti konke kutuli kase hupulwa kweIreza.
7 No, even the hairs of your head are all numbered. Do not be afraid; you are of more value than many sparrows.
Kono nangati i mpalo ye nsunki nzenu ivalitwe, Kanji mutiyi. Mwina butokwa kuhita tuzuni tungi.
8 Everyone, I tell you, who publicly acknowledges me, the Son of Man, also, will acknowledge before God’s angels;
Ni wamba kwenu, yense yo niwamba havusu bwa bantu, Mwana u muntu kaka muwambe naye habusu bwa mañiloyi e Ireza.
9 but the person who publicly disowns me will be altogether disowned before God’s angels.
kono nyense yo nisampula havusu bwa Vvantu kaka sampulwe havunsu bwa mañiloyi e Reza.
10 Everyone who will say anything against the Son of Man will be forgiven, but for the person who slanders the Holy Spirit there will be no forgiveness.
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 Whenever they take you before the synagogue Courts or the magistrates or other authorities, do not be anxious as to how you will defend yourselves, or what your defense will be, or what you will 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 Spirit will show you at the moment what you ought to say.”
kakuli Luhuho lu Njolola kalumi ka lumi lute mweyo nako chizi chi muswanera kuwamba.
13 “Teacher,” a man in the crowd said to Jesus, “tell my brother to share the property with me.”
Linu zumwi mukati kechisi cha cho kwali, “Muruti, wambire mukulwangu kuti a liyavire chifumu chavayoli name.”
14 But Jesus said to him, “Man, who made me a judge or an arbiter between you?”
Jesu cha kwa li, “Mukwame, Jeni wani vika mu atuli kamba muzimanini hakati kenu?”
15 And then he added, “Take care to keep yourselves free from every form of covetousness; for even in the height of their prosperity a person’s true life does not depend on what they have.”
Mi chati kuvali muli tokomere kobona kuti mulizwisa ku takazo yonse yomuuna, kakuti vuhalpo vo muntu kabwina vulyo hachi fumu chali kunganize muntu.”
16 Then Jesus told them this parable – “There was once a rich man whose land was very fertile;
Linu Jesu chava wambira i nguli, ni kucho Iuwa lo mukwame yavali kufumite, luvali kuvikite ahulu,
17 and he began to ask himself ‘What will I do, for I have nowhere to store my crops?
mi chali wambira ni kucho, chizi chete ni pange kakuli kanina chiviko cho kuvika zilyo zina lima?
18 This is what I will do,’ he said; ‘I will pull down my barns and build larger ones, and store all my grain and my goods in them;
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 myself, Now you have plenty of good things put by for many years; take your ease, eat, drink, and enjoy yourself.’
Muni wambe ku luhuho lwangu, “luhuho, wina zilyo zingi zisizitwe zonso seberise zirimo zingi. Pumule hande, lye, nwe, unsese.”
20 But God said to the man ‘Fool! This very night your life is being demanded; and as for all you have prepared – who will have it?’
Kono Ireza cha cho kwali, 'Chihole cho mukwame, masiku a nsunu luhuho lwako luhindiwa kwanko, mi nzintu ziwa lukisa, muzive zani?'
21 So it is with those who lay by wealth for themselves and are not rich to the glory of God.”
China mwe kalire muntu yoli kunganyiza chifumu kwali mi kafumite havusu bwe Ireza.”
22 And Jesus said to his disciples, “That is why I say to you, Do not be anxious about the life here – what you can get to eat; or about your body – what you can get to wear.
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 For life is more than food, and the body than its clothes.
Kakuti vuhalo bwina butokwa kuhita zilyo, mi muviri wina butokwa kuhita zizwato.
24 Think of the ravens – they neither sow nor reap; they have neither storehouse nor barn; and yet God feeds them! And how much more precious are you than birds!
Mulemuhe ma ñwarara, kuti kava byali kamba kusiza. Kazina zivinko kamba zishete, kono Ireza uzilelra. Muvo vutokwa vule kuhita zizuni!
25 But which of you, by being anxious, can prolong your life a moment?
Mi jeni kwenu choku virera u wola kuyekeza i zuva kuvuhalo bwakwe?
26 And, if you cannot do even the smallest thing, why be anxious about other things?
Cwale haiva kamu oli kupanga nanga nti chitu chinini, chinzi hamu virera kuamana ni nzonse?
27 Think of the lilies, and how they grow. They neither toil nor spin; yet, I tell you, even Solomon in all his splendor was not robed 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, even in the field, God so clothes the grass which is living today and tomorrow will be thrown into the oven, how much more will he clothe you, you 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 you – do not be always seeking what you can get to eat or what you can get to drink; and do not waver.
Kanji mungani zete mulye kamba zete munwe kanji mu vireri.
30 These are the things for which all the nations of the world are seeking, and your Father knows that you need them.
Kakuli inkanda zonse ze fasi bangana inzi nzintu, mi Ishenu wizi kuti musaka inzi zintu.
31 No, seek his kingdom, and these things will be added for you.
Kono musake mubuso wakwe, mi inzi zintu ka muziyekerezwe.
32 So do not be afraid, my little flock, for your Father has been pleased to give you the kingdom.
Kanji mutiyi, tumberere tunini, kakuli i shenu i sangitwe kumiha Muvuso.
33 “Sell what belongs to you, and give in charity. Make yourselves purses that will not wear out – an inexhaustible treasure in heaven, where no thief comes near, or moth works ruin.
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 also will your heart be.
Kakuti kwina chifumu chenu, uko ni inkulo yenu kwete ive nayo.
35 Make yourselves ready, with your lamps alight;
Imunda zenu zisuminwe muma tunga mi malambi enu a zwirenhavusu ni kumbukuka,
36 and be like servants who are waiting for their Master’s return from his wedding, so that, when he comes and knocks, they may open the door for him at once.
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 Happy are those servants whom, on his return, the Master will find watching. I tell you that he will make himself ready, and have them take their places at the table, and will come 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 Whether it is late at night, or in the early morning that he comes, if he finds all as it should be, then happy are they.
Haiva muyendisi ukeza malunga siku, kamba kalya butatu bwe nako, ni kwiza kuva wana vali tukise, Imbuyoti zavo vahikana.
39 This you do know, that, had the owner of the house known at what time the thief was coming, he would have been on the watch, and would not have let his house be broken into.
Konohape mwizive inchi, kuti haiva muyendisi we nzuvo ave zivite inako iyo musa avali kukeza, nasana a va siyiriri inzuvo yakwe ni iñatulwa.
40 You must also prepare, for when you are least expecting him the Son of Man will come.”
Mulitukiseze nanwe vulyo, kakuti kamwizi inako iyo mwana o Muntu sana keze.”
41 “Master,” said Peter, “are you telling this parable with reference to us or to everyone?”
Pitorosi chati, “Simwine, uwambira iyi nguli kwetu fera, kamba niku vantu vonse?”
42 “Who, then,” replied the Master, “is that trustworthy steward, the careful man, who will be placed by his master over his establishment, to give them their rations at the proper time?
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 Happy will that servant be whom his master, when he comes home, will find doing this.
Ufuyaulitwe uzo muhikana, uzo muyendisi wakwe keza wane napanga izo hakeza.
44 His master, I tell you, will put him in charge of the whole of his property.
Cheniti niwamba kwenu kamuvike vuyendisi bwe luwo lyakwe.
45 But should that servant say to himself ‘My master is a long time coming,’ and begin to beat the menservants and the maidservants, and to eat and drink and get drunk,
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 that servant’s master will come on a day when he does not expect him, and at an hour of which he is unaware, and will flog him severely and assign him his place among the untrustworthy.
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 The servant who knows his master’s wishes and yet does not prepare and act accordingly will receive many lashes;
Zuna muhikana, hace zivite mihupulo ya simwine wakwe, mi kena ava lukise kamba kuyendereza mwa sakira, kakaviwe cha mafaindi mangi.
48 while one who does not know his master’s wishes, but acts so as to deserve a flogging, will receive but few. From everyone to whom much has been given much will be expected, and from the man to whom much has been entrusted the more will be demanded.
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 came to cast fire on the earth; and what more can I wish, if it is already kindled?
Ni vakezi kuzindira muliro mwi kanda, mi muni sangirwa kuti kamba ciwuva mbukulwa kale.
50 There is a baptism that I must undergo, and how great is my distress until it is over!
Kono nina i nkolovezo ini swanera kukolovezwa chayo, mi kaini kalikite hande konji chiya lizuziriza!
51 Do you think that I am here to bring peace on earth? No, I tell you, but to cause division.
Muhupula kuti ni va kezi kuleta inkozo mwi ikanda? Ne, Ni ki wambira, kono niva leti ikauhano.
52 For from this time, if there are five people in a house, they will be 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 Father will be opposed to son and son to father, mother to daughter and daughter to mother, mother-in-law to her daughter-in-law and daughter-in-law to 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 to the people Jesus said, “When you see a cloud rising in the west, you say at once ‘There is a storm coming,’ and come it does.
Jesu avali kuwamba ni kuchisi bulyo,”Hamubona i kope lizimana kubwimino, yahaho mu wamba, 'I vula ikezite; mi iza kuva bulyo.
55 And when you see that the wind is in the south, you say ‘It will be burning hot,’ and so it proves.
Mi haiva luhuho lo kwiyaza lye chimonso ni hunga, mu wamba, 'Mukuhise a hulu nsunu; mi kwiza kuva vulyo.
56 Hypocrites! You know how to judge of the earth and the sky; how is it, then, that you cannot judge of this time?
Balihere, mwinzi kutoloka mayemo e kanda ni e wulu, linu vule hape hamusezi muku tolokerwa i nako ya hanu?
57 Why don’t you yourselves decide what is right?
Chinzi hamusa atuli zina hande kwenu?
58 When, for instance, you are going with your opponent before a magistrate, on your way to the court do your best to be quit of him; otherwise he might drag you before the judge, then the judge will hand you over to the bailiff of the court, and the bailiff throw you 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 You will not, I tell you, come out until you have paid the very last cent.”
Ni wamba kwenu, kasana ko zwe mwateni konji hete no lihire ishereñi yama manimani yo kwete.”
