Luke 12
1 While they were doing that, many thousands of people gathered [around Jesus]. There were so many that they were stepping on each other. Then Jesus said to his disciples, “Beware of [becoming] hypocrites [like] the Pharisees. Their [evil influence] [MET] [spreads to others like] yeast [spreads its influence in dough].

2 People will not be able to continue concealing the things that [they or other] people try to conceal now. [God] will [some day] cause the things that are hidden now to be known {[everyone] to know the things that they hide now}.
Kò sí ohun tí a bò, tí a kì yóò sì fihàn; tàbí tí ó pamọ́, tí a kì yóò mọ̀.
3 All the things that you say in the dark [secretly, some day] will be heard {people will hear them} in the daylight. The things you have whispered [SYN] privately among yourselves in your rooms will be proclaimed {[people] will proclaim them} publicly.”

4 “My friends, listen [carefully]. Do not be afraid of people who [are able to] kill you, but after they kill you, there is nothing more that they can do [to hurt you].
“Èmi sì wí fún yín ẹ̀yin ọ̀rẹ́ mi, ẹ má ṣe bẹ̀rù àwọn tí ó ń pa ara ènìyàn kú, lẹ́yìn èyí, wọn kò sì ní èyí tí wọ́n lè ṣe mọ́.
5 But I will warn you about the one that you should truly be afraid of. You should be afraid of [God], because he not only has [the power to] cause people to die, he has the power to throw them into hell afterward! Yes, he is truly the one that you should be afraid of! (Geenna g1067)

6 [Think about] the sparrows. [They are worth so little] that [you] can [RHQ] buy five of them for only two small coins. But not one of them is ever forgotten by God {God never forgets one of them}!
Ológoṣẹ́ márùn-ún sá à ni a ń tà ní owó idẹ wẹ́wẹ́ méjì? A kò sì gbàgbé ọ̀kan nínú wọn níwájú Ọlọ́run?
7 You are worth more [to God] than many sparrows. So do not be afraid [of what people can do to you! God] even knows how many hairs there are on each of your heads, [so that if you(sg) lose one hair, he knows about it. So nothing bad can happen to you without his knowing it].

8 I want to tell you also that if people, [without being afraid, are willing to] tell others [that they are my disciples], [I], the one who came from heaven, will acknowledge before [God that they are my disciples]. [I will do that while] God’s angels listen.
“Mo sì wí fún yín pẹ̀lú, Ẹnikẹ́ni tí ó bá jẹ́wọ́ mi níwájú àwọn ènìyàn. Ọmọ Ènìyàn yóò sì jẹ́wọ́ rẹ̀ níwájú àwọn angẹli Ọlọ́run.
9 But if people [are] afraid to say in front of others that they are [my disciples], [I] will say, while God’s angels listen, that they are not [my disciples].
Ṣùgbọ́n ẹni tí ó bá sẹ́ mi níwájú ènìyàn, a ó sẹ́ ẹ níwájú àwọn angẹli Ọlọ́run.
10 [I will tell you] also that [God is willing to] forgive people who say bad things about me, the one who came from heaven, but [he] will not forgive anyone who says evil things about what the Holy Spirit [does].
Àti ẹnikẹ́ni tí ó bá sọ̀rọ̀-òdì sí Ọmọ Ènìyàn, a ó dárí rẹ̀ jì í; ṣùgbọ́n ẹnikẹ́ni tí ó bá sọ̀rọ̀-òdì sí Ẹ̀mí Mímọ́, a kì yóò dárí rẹ̀ jì í.
11 [So] when people ask you in Jewish worship houses and in the presence of rulers and other authorities [about your trusting in me], do not worry about how you will answer them [when they accuse you]. Do not worry about what you should say,
“Nígbà tí wọ́n bá sì mú yin wá sí Sinagọgu, àti síwájú àwọn olórí, àti àwọn aláṣẹ, ẹ má ṣe ṣàníyàn pé, báwo tàbí ohun kín ni ẹ̀yin yóò fèsì rẹ̀ tàbí kín ni ẹ̀yin ó wí.
12 because the Holy Spirit will tell you at that very time what you should say.”
Nítorí Ẹ̀mí Mímọ́ yóò kọ́ yín ní wákàtí kan náà ní ohun tí ó yẹ kí ẹ sọ.”
13 Then one of the people in the crowd said to [Jesus], “Teacher, tell my [older] brother to divide my father’s property and give me [the part that belongs] to me!”
Ọ̀kan nínú àwùjọ wí fún un pé, “Olùkọ́, sọ fún arákùnrin mi kí ó pín mi ní ogún.”
14 But Jesus replied to him, “Man, (no one appointed me in order that I would settle [matters when people are] disputing about property!/did anyone appoint me in order that I would settle [matters when people are] disputing about property?) [RHQ]”
Ó sì wí fún un pé, “Ọkùnrin yìí, ta ni ó fi mí jẹ onídàájọ́ tàbí olùpíngún fún yín?”
15 Then he said to the whole crowd, “Guard yourselves very carefully, in order that you do not desire other people’s things in any way! No one can make his life secure by [obtaining] many possessions.”
Ó sì wí fún wọn pé, “Kíyèsára kí o sì máa ṣọ́ra nítorí ojúkòkòrò: nítorí ìgbésí ayé ènìyàn kò dúró lé ọ̀pọ̀ ohun tí ó ní.”
16 Then Jesus told the people this illustration: “There was a certain rich man whose crops grew very well.
Ó sì pa òwe kan fún wọn pé, “Ilẹ̀ ọkùnrin ọlọ́rọ̀ so ọ̀pọ̀lọpọ̀ èso.
17 [So] he said [to himself], ‘I do not know what to do, because I do not have any place [big enough] to store all my crops!’
Ó sì rò nínú ara rẹ̀ pé, ‘Èmi ó ti ṣe, nítorí tí èmi kò ní ibi tí èmi ó gbé kó èso mi jọ sí.’
18 Then he thought to himself, ‘[I know] what I will do! I will tear down my grain bins and build larger ones! Then I will store all my wheat and other goods in [the big new bins].
“Ó sì wí pé, ‘Èyí ni èmi ó ṣe: èmi ó wó àká mi palẹ̀, èmi ó sì kọ́ èyí tí ó tóbi; níbẹ̀ ni èmi ó gbé to gbogbo èso àti ọrọ̀ mi jọ sí.
19 [Then] I will say to myself [SYN], “Now I have plenty of goods stored up. [They will last] for many years. [So now] I will take life easy. I will eat and drink [all that I want to] and be happy [for a long time]!”’
Èmi ó sì wí fún ọkàn mi pé, ọkàn, ìwọ ní ọrọ̀ púpọ̀ tí a tò jọ fún ọ̀pọ̀ ọdún; sinmi, máa jẹ, máa mu, máa yọ̀.’
20 But God said to him, ‘You foolish [man]! Tonight you will die! (Then all [the goods] you have saved up [for yourself] will [belong to someone else, not to] you!/Do you think that you [will benefit from] all that you have stored up for yourself?) [RHQ]’”
“Ṣùgbọ́n Ọlọ́run wí fún un pé, ‘Ìwọ aṣiwèrè, lóru yìí ni a ó béèrè ọkàn rẹ lọ́wọ́ rẹ; ǹjẹ́ ti ta ni nǹkan wọ̀nyí yóò ha ṣe, tí ìwọ ti pèsè sílẹ̀?’
21 [Then Jesus ended this illustration by saying], “That is what will happen to those who store up goods just for themselves, but who do not value the things [that] God [considers] valuable.”
“Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni ẹni tí ó to ìṣúra jọ fún ara rẹ̀, tí kò sì ní ọrọ̀ lọ́dọ̀ Ọlọ́run.”
22 Then [Jesus] said to his disciples, “So I want to tell you this: Do not worry about [things you need] in order to live. Do not worry about [whether you will have enough food] to eat or [enough clothes] to wear.
Jesu sì wí fún àwọn ọmọ-ẹ̀yìn rẹ̀ pé, “Nítorí náà mo wí fún yín pé, ẹ má ṣe ṣe àníyàn nítorí ẹ̀mí yín pé, kín ni ẹ̀yin yóò jẹ tàbí nípa ara yin pe kín ni ẹyin o fi bora.
23 It is important to have sufficient food and clothing, but (the way you conduct your lives is more important./is not the way you conduct your lives more important?) [RHQ]
Ẹ̀mí sá à ju oúnjẹ lọ, ara sì ju aṣọ lọ.
24 Think about the birds: They do not plant [seeds], and they do not harvest [crops]. They do not have rooms or buildings in which to store crops. But God provides food for them. [And] you are certainly much more valuable than birds. [So God will certainly provide what you need]!

25 (There is not a one of you who can add a little bit to how long he lives by worrying about it!/Is there any of you who can add a little bit to how long he lives by worrying about it?) [RHQ]
Ta ni nínú yín nípa àníyàn ṣíṣe tí ó lè fi ìgbọ̀nwọ́ kan kún ọjọ́ ayé rẹ̀?
26 Worrying is a small thing to do. So since you cannot add to your life, (you certainly should not worry about other things that [you need to have in order to live!]/why do you worry about other things that [you need to have in order to live]?) [RHQ]
Ǹjẹ́ bí ẹ̀yin kò ti lè ṣe èyí tí ó kéré bí eléyìí, èéṣe tí ẹ̀yin fi ń ṣàníyàn nítorí ìyókù?
27 Think about the way that flowers grow [in the fields]. They do not work [to earn money], and they do not make their own clothes. But I tell you that [even though King] Solomon, [who lived long ago, wore very beautiful clothes], his clothes were not as beautiful as one of those [flowers].
“Ẹ kíyèsi àwọn lílì bí wọ́n ti ń dàgbà; wọn kì í ṣiṣẹ́, wọn kì í rànwú; ṣùgbọ́n kí èmi wí fún yín, a kò ṣe Solomoni pàápàá lọ́ṣọ̀ọ́ ní gbogbo ògo rẹ̀ tó ọ̀kan nínú ìwọ̀nyí.
28 God makes the flowers beautiful, but they grow in the fields for only a short time. Then [they are cut at the same time that the grass] is cut, and thrown into an oven [to be burned to make heat for baking] bread. [So they really are not worth very much. But you are very precious to] God, [and he] will [care for you] much more [than he cares for the grass by filling it with beautiful flowers]. So he will certainly provide clothes for you, who [live much longer than the grass. Why] [RHQ] [do you] trust him so little?

29 Do not always be concerned about having enough to eat and drink, and do not be worrying about those things.
Kí ẹ má sì ṣe lé ohun tí ẹ ó jẹ, tàbí ohun tí ẹ ó mu, kí ẹ má sì ṣe ṣe àníyàn nínú ọkàn.
30 The people who do not know God are always worried about such things. But your Father [in heaven] knows that you need those things, [so you should not worry about them].

Ṣùgbọ́n ẹ máa wá ìjọba Ọlọ́run, gbogbo nǹkan wọ̀nyí ni a ó sì fi kún un fún yín.
32 [You who are my disciples are like a] small flock of sheep, [and I am like your shepherd]. So you should not be afraid. Your Father [in heaven] wants to let you rule with him [in heaven].
“Má bẹ̀rù, agbo kékeré, nítorí dídùn inú Baba yín ni láti fi ìjọba fún yín.
33 [So now] sell the things that you own. Give [the money that you get for those things] to poor people. [If you do that, it will be as though] you are providing for yourselves purses that will not wear out, and [God will give] you a treasure in heaven that will always be safe. There, no thief can come near [to steal it], and no termite can destroy it.

35 “Be always ready [for doing God’s work] [MET], like [people] who have put on their work clothes and are ready [during the day], with their lamps burning all night.
“Ẹ di àmùrè yín, kí fìtílà yín sì máa jó.
36 Be [ready for me to return] [MET], like servants who are waiting for their master to return after being at a wedding feast [for several days]. They are [waiting to] open the door for him and [start working for him again] as soon as he arrives and knocks at the door.

39 But you must also remember this: If owners of a house knew what time a thief was coming, they [would stay awake and] would not allow their house to be broken into [and their goods to be stolen] {[the thief] to break into the house [and steal their goods]}.

Peteru sì wí pé, “Olúwa, ìwọ pa òwe yìí fún wa, tàbí fún gbogbo ènìyàn?”
42 The Lord replied, “[I am saying it for you and for anyone else] [MET, RHQ] who is like a faithful and wise manager in his master’s house. His master appoints him to [supervise affairs in his house] and to give all the [other] servants their food at the proper time. [Then he leaves on a long trip].

45 But that servant might think to himself, ‘My master [has been away] for a long time, [so he probably will] not return soon [and find out what I am doing].’ [Then he might] start to beat the [other] servants, both male and female ones. [He might also start] to eat [a lot of food] and get drunk.

[God will treat his people similarly, because he] expects a lot from those people whom [he] has allowed [to understand a lot]. People who entrust things [to others’ care] expect those people [to care for those things] very well. Similarly, [God] expects a lot from those people whom he has allowed [to understand a lot].
