Luke 12
1 Amongst which things, when the ten thousands of the multitude were gathered together, so that they were treading one upon another, he began to be saying, unto his disciples, first—Be keeping yourselves free from the leaven of the Pharisees, the which is, hypocrisy.
Muleecho chiindi, zyuulu zyabantu zyiingi nizyakabungana, bakasyankana akulyatana, wakasanguna kuti kuli basikwiiya bakwe chakusanguna, “Amuchenjelele busweezyo bwaba Falisi, kakuli kuupawupa.
2 But, nothing, hath been, covered up, which shall not be uncovered, and hidden, which shall not be made known.
Pesi taakwe chivumbidwe, chitakabule kuyubununwa, alimwi taakwe chisisidwe, chitakabule kuzibinkana.
3 Because, as many things as, in the darkness, ye have said, in the light, shall be heard; and, what to the ear ye spake, in the chambers, shall be proclaimed on the housetops.
Aboobo zyoonse nzimuyowamba mumudima ziyoomvwigwa mumumuni, azeezyo nzimwakavwiyavwiya mumatwi kamuli mumaanda amukati ziyoompololwa atala atululi
4 And I say unto you, my friends—Do not be put in fear of them who kill the body, and, after these things, have nothing more uncommon which they can do.
Ndati kulindinywe bazolani bangu, tamubayoowi pe aabo bajaya mubili, musule azeezyo tabachikwe chimbi chakuchita.
5 But I will suggest to you, whom ye should fear—Fear him who, after killing, hath authority to cast into gehenna, —Yea, I say unto you—Him, fear ye. (Geenna g1067)
Pesi ndilamwaambila aatala akuti ngwani ngumunga mulayoowa. Amuyoowe ooyo, uunga naajaya, ulaanguzu zyakuwaala mumulilo. Iyii, ndati kulindinye, amuyoowe nguwe ooyo. (Geenna g1067)
6 Are not, five sparrows, sold for two farthings? and, not one from among them, hath been forgotten before God.
Teensi tuyuni tusanu tulawuzigwa atukobili tuniini tubili na?
7 But, even the hairs of your head, have all been numbered: Be not afraid: many sparrows, ye excel.
Pesi tatulubwi pe kunembo lya Leza. Pesi nikuba masusu eenu alaamyeelwe woonse. Mutayoowi. Muli aabulemu kwiinda bayuni biingi.
8 And I say unto you—Whosoever shall confess me before men, even the Son of Man, will confess him, before the messengers of God;
Ndati kulindinywe, kufumbwa uundizumina kunembo lyabantu, Mwana wa Muntu uyoomuzumina kunembo lyabangelo ba Leza,
9 But, he who denied me before men, shall be denied before the messengers of God.
pesi ooyo uundikaka kunembo lyabantu, uyookakwa kunembo lyabangelo ba Leza.
10 And, whosoever shall say a word against the Son of Man, it shall be forgiven him; but, unto him who, against the Holy Spirit, speaketh profanely, it shall not be forgiven.
Kufumbwa uyoowambula majwi mabi aatala a Mwana wa Muntu, uyoolekelelwa, pesi ooyo usampawula Miuuya Uusalala, taakwe natakalekelelwe pe.
11 But, whensoever they shall be bringing you in before the synagogues, and the rulers, and the authorities, do not be anxious how, [or what] ye shall answer, or what ye shall say;
Nibatakamweete kunembo lya Zikombelo, babetesi, abasimilawu, tamukalikataazyi kuti muyowaambuula biyeni mukuli lwanina, nakuti muyotyeni,
12 For, the Holy Spirit, shall teach you, in that very hour, what ye ought to say.
nkaambo Muuya Uusalala uyomuyiisya muli nchicheecho chiindi zyakwaamba.”
13 And one from amongst the multitude said unto him—Teacher! bid my brother divide with me the inheritance.
Mpawo umwi wakali munkamu yabantu wakoompolola wati, “Muyiisyi, ambila mwanakesu kuti andaabile ambeno lukono.”
14 But, he, said unto him—Man! who hath appointed me a judge or divider over you?
Jesu wakasandula wati “Yoo mwalumi, ngwani wakandinanika kuba mubetesi na sing'enda akati kenu?”
15 And he said unto them—Mind and be guarding yourselves from all covetousness; for not, in one’s abundance, doth his life spring out of his possessions.
Mpawo wakati kulimbabo, “Amulangisisye eezyo zintu nzimulibambila kuzwa kubulyabi, nkaambo buumi bwamuntu tabulangwi kwiinda muzintu nzyaleezyo.”
16 And he spake a parable unto them, saying—A certain rich man’s estate, bare well.
Mpawo Jesu wakabaambila chikozyanisyo, kati, “Muunda wamuntu muvubi wakali abutebuuzi bwiingi,
17 And he began to deliberate within himself, saying—What shall I do? because I have not where I can gather my fruits.
wakayeeya mumoyo wakwe, wati, 'Ndilachita biyeni, nkaambo nsikwe katuula kakubambila zilyo zyangu?'
18 And he said—This, will I do, —I will pull down my barns, and, greater ones, build, and gather, there, all my wheat and good things;
Wakati, 'Eezi nyesichite. Ndilakolomona tutuula twangu ndiyake tumbi tupati, oomo mwesizobambile zilyo zyangu azimwi zintu.
19 and will say to my soul—Soul! thou hast many good things [lying by for many years: be taking thy rest, eat, drink, ] be making merry!
Mpawo ndiyoti kumuuya wangu, “Muuya waba aazintu zyiingi zibambidwe kwamyaaka myiingi. Lyookezye kabotu, lya, nywa, upakale.”
20 But God said unto him—Simple one! on this very night, they are asking, thy soul, from thee; The things, then, which thou hast prepared, whose shall they be?
Pesi Leza wakati kuli nguwe, 'Yoomwaalumi mufubafuba, sunu muuya wako ulayandikana, zintu nzwabamba ziyooba zyani?'
21 [So, is he that is laying up treasure for himself, and is not rich, towards God.]
Mbabede muntu uulibambila buvubi pesi katavubide kuli Leza.”
22 And he said unto his disciples—For this cause, I say unto you, —Be not anxious for the life, what ye shall eat, nor yet for [your] body, what ye shall put on;
Jesu wakati kuli basikwiiya bakwe, “Aboobo ntati kulindinywe, tamulikataazyi nkaambo kabuumi - kuti muyoolya nzi, na amubili wanu - kuti muyoozwaatayi.
23 For, the life, is more, than the food, and, the body, than, the clothing.
Nkaambo buumi bwiinda kulya, alimwi mubili wiinda zizwaato.
24 Consider well the ravens—That they sow nor, neither do they reap, which have neither chamber nor barn, —and, God, feedeth, them! By how much do, ye, excel, the birds?
Amulange bayuni, tababyali na kutebula. Tabakwe tutuula, pesi Leza ulabapa chakulya. Mulekede bupati loko nywebo kwiinda bayuni!
25 And, who from among you, though anxious, can, unto his stature, add a cubit?
Ngwani akati kenu uunga naalikataazya wayungizya mazuba akupona kubuumi bwakwe?
26 If then, not even the least thing, ye can do, why, concerning the rest, are ye anxious?
Na kotakonzyi kuchita eecho chitu chinini, nkaambo nzi nimulikataazya azimwi zyoonse?
27 Consider well the lilies, how they grow: they toil not, neither do they spin, and yet I say unto you—Not even Solomon, in all his glory, was arrayed like one of these.
Amulange masokwe - alakomena. Taabeleki, na kulikataazya. Pesi nadti kulindinywe, nansya Solomoni mubulemu bwakwe boonse taakwe nakali wazwaata kwiinda aawa.
28 But, if God thus adorneth, the grass, which is, in a field, to-day, and, to-morrow, into an oven, is cast, how much rather you, O little-of-faith?
Na Leza kazwaatika masokwe aalimumuunda, aanga sunu mpaali, juunza asowelwa mumulilo, ulamuzwaatika bwiingi butanali nywebo, Nozyalane lyalusyomo luniini!
29 Ye, therefore, be not seeking what ye shall eat and what ye shall drink, and be not held in suspense;
Tamulaanguuli nchimutalye na nchimutanywe, alimwi tamulikataazyi.
30 For, after all these things, do, the nations of the world, seek, —but, your Father, knoweth that ye need these things.
Nkaambo zisi zyoonsye zyaanyika zilanguula zintu eezi, alimwi Wuso ulizi kuti mulaziyanda zintu eezi.
31 Notwithstanding, be seeking his kingdom, —and, these things, shall be added unto you.
Pesi amuyandule bwami bwakwe, mpawo eezi zintu ziyopegwa kulindinywe.
32 Be not afraid, the dear little flock! for your Father delighteth to give you, the kingdom.
Mutayoowi, nkaambo Wuso uulikujulu ulabotelwa kumupa bwami.
33 Sell your possessions, and give alms, make for yourselves purses that wax not old, —treasure unfailing, in the heavens, where, thief, doth not draw near, and, moth, doth not spoil.
Amuuzye zyoonse zimulazyo mupe kubachete. Amulichitile nkomwe zitadeluki pe - buvubi bwakumajulu butamani, kutasiki basikubba afwiifwi, alimwi kutaligwi munanze.
34 For, where your treasure is, there, will your heart he also.
Nkaambo ooko kuli buvubi bwako, moyo wako nkuubede.
35 Let your loins be girded, and your lamps burning,
Amwaange zizwaato zyenu alukumba muchikungu, muyasye malampi eenu akkale kayaka,
36 And, ye yourselves, like unto men awaiting their own lord, once he may break up out of the marriage-feast, —that, when he cometh and knocketh, straightway, they may open unto him.
mube mbuli bantu bayandula mwami wabo, naboola kuzwa kupobwe lyalukwatano, kuchitila kuti nasika kakonkomona balafwambaana kumujulila.
37 Happy those servants, whom the lord, when he cometh, shall find watching! Verily, I say unto you—he will gird himself, and make them recline, and, coming near, will minister unto them.
Bali longezezegwe aabo belanda, bayojanika kaba bbwazwide naayosika mwami wabo. Nchobeni ndamwaambila kuti uyowanga nsasiko yakwe ndamfu muchikungu alukumba, mpawo uyobakkazika kukulya, mpawo uyoosika we azobakutawukile.
38 And, if, in the second, or if, in the third, watch, he come and find, thus, happy, are, they!
Na mwami azosike mubusiku bwakulinda bwabili, na bwatatu, azobajane kabalindide, balilongezezegwe balanda aabo.
39 But, of this, be taking note—Had the householder known, in what hour the thief was coming, he would have watched, and not suffered his house, to be digged through.
Aatala azeezi zyoonse, kansinga mwani ng'anda walizi buzuba mbwasika sikubba, taalikunoleka ng'anda yakwe kuti inyonyoonwe pe.
40 Ye, therefore, be getting ready, because, in what hour ye are not thinking, The Son of Man cometh!
Amulibambile anywebo, nkaambo tamulizi wola ndasika Mwana wa Muntu.”
41 But Peter said—Lord! unto us, this parable, speakest thou? or, even unto all?
Pita wakati, “Mwami, ulikwaamba chikozyanisyo eechi kulindiswe atulike na kumuntu woonse?”
42 And the Lord said—Who then is the faithful steward, the prudent one, whom the lord will appoint over his body of attendants, to be giving, in due season, the measured allowance of wheat?
Mwami wakati, “Ngwani mpo mweendelezi musongo awusyomekede ooyo mweendelezi wakwe ngwazobika kubalanda bakwe kuti abaabile chabo chimpanzi chakulyamuchiindi cheelede?
43 Happy, that servant, whom the lord, when he cometh shall find doing, thus!
Ulilongezezegwe ooyo mulanda uyoojanika kachita oobo nayooboola mulanda wakwe.
44 Of a truth, I say unto you—Over all his possessions, will he appoint him.
Nchobeni ndamwaambila kuti uyoomupa bweendelezi kuzintu zyakwe zyoonse.
45 But, if that servant should say in his heart—My lord delayeth to come! and should begin to be striking the youths and the maidens, —to be eating also, and drinking, and making himself drunk,
Pesi ooyo mulanda uti mumoyo wakwe, 'Mwani wangu wachedwa kuboola,' mpawo asangune kuuma balanda baalumi abanakazi, asangune kulya akunywa mpawo akolwe,
46 The lord of that servant, will have come—on a day when he is not expecting, and in an hour when he is not taking note, —and will cut him asunder, and, his part, with the unfaithful, will appoint.
mwami wayooyo mulanda uzoosika buzuba mbwatalangilide pe, amuwola ndyatayeeleli pe, uyoomugonkoola mpawo akamubikke kubusena bwabantu batasyomekede.
47 And, that servant, who had come to know the will of his lord, and neither prepared, nor wrought unto his will, shall be beaten with many stripes;
Ooyo mulanda, kali walimuzi mwami wakwe, alimwi katachitide na kumba mbuli mbayanda, uyoowumwa mfayindi nyiingi.
48 Whereas, he who had not come to know, and did things worthy of stripes, shall be beaten with few stripes. And, every one to whom was given much, much, shall be sought from him; and, he to whom they committed much, for more than common, will they ask him.
Pesi ooyo wakatezi, mpawo wachita zintu zyuumya, uyowumwa mfayindi nche. Woonse uupegwa zyiingi unolangilwa kupa zyiingi, ayooyo uusyomwa azyiingi, nzyiingi nzibayookumbila kuzwa kulinguwe.
49 Fire, came I to cast upon the earth, —and what can I wish, if, already, it hath been, kindled?
Ndakasika kuzoowala mulilo aanyika, alimwi ndalikuyanda kut kansiinga zyachitika.
50 But, an immersion, have I, to be immersed with, and how am I distressed, until it be ended!
Pesi ndili aalubbabbatgizyo ndweelede ku bbabbatizigwa aalo, amachise ngelaawo mane kukamane!
51 Suppose ye, that, peace, I am come to give in the earth? Nay, I tell you, but rather division.
Muyeeya kuti ndakasika kuzoyeta luumuno na anyika? Pepe, ndamwaambila, pesi kwaanzana.
52 For there shall be, henceforth, five in one house, divided, —three against two, and two against three:
Nkaambo kuzwa lino kuyooba balimusanu mung'anda yomwe banzeene - batatu kabatamvwanani ababili, ababili kabatamvwanani abatatu.
53 There shall be divided—Father against son, and son against father, mother against daughter, and daughter against the mother, —mother-in-law against her daughter-in-law, and daughter-in-law against the mother-in-law.
Banowanzeene, wisi katamvwanani amwana mulombe, amwana mulombe katamvwanani awisi; banyina kabatamvwanani amwana musimbi, amwana musimbi katamvwanani abanyina; banyianazyala kabatamvwanani amuka mwana, amukamwana katamvwanani abanyinazyala.”
54 And he went on to say, even unto the multitudes, —Whensoever ye see a cloud springing up from the west, straightway, ye are saying—A thunderstorm is coming! and it happeneth thus.
Jesu wakaambula lubo kumakamu, “Na mwabona joba kalisimpa kububbila, mulafwaambana kwaamba kuti 'Yaamba kuwa mvula,' mpawo nga zyachitika.
55 And, whensoever a south wind, blowing, ye say—A scorching heat, will there be! and it cometh to pass.
Mpawo kwawunga guwo lizwida kumunsanza ngamwati sunu linoopya zuba,' mpawo zyachitika.
56 Hypocrites! the face of the earth and of the heaven, ye know how to scan; but, this season, how know ye not to scan;
Basikuupawupa, mulikwizi kumvwisisisya chiimo chanyika ajulu, pesi nkaambo nzi nimutakonzyi kumvwisisisya chiimo chachiindi chiliko lino?
57 Why, moreover, even from yourselves, judge ye not what is just?
Nkaambo nzi nimutakonzyi kulibonena zilikabotu amulike?
58 For, as thou art going along with thine adversary unto a ruler, on the way, take pains to get a release from him; lest once he drag thee along unto the judge, and, the judge, deliver thee up to the punisher, —and, the punisher, cast thee into prison:
Nkaambo aawo nimuya kumutongi asinkondonyokwe, munzila amweezye kwaambula kabotu mumvwanane kuchitila kuti we tazokutoli kumubetesi, akuchitila kuti mubetesi atakakubiki mumaanza akapokola, mpawo kapokola atakakubiki muntolongo.
59 I tell thee—In nowise shalt thou come out from thence, until, even the last fraction, thou pay!
Ndati kulindinywe, taakwe notakazwe pe kuyosikila ukaman kubbadala mali yoonse iyandikana.”
