Luke 12
1 Meanwhile, when a multitude of many thousands had gathered together, so much so that they trampled on each other, he began to tell his disciples first of all, “Beware of the yeast of the Pharisees, 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 there is nothing covered up that will not be revealed, nor hidden that will not be known.
Pesi taakwe chivumbidwe, chitakabule kuyubununwa, alimwi taakwe chisisidwe, chitakabule kuzibinkana.
3 Therefore whatever you have said in the darkness will be heard in the light. What you have spoken in the ear in the inner rooms will be proclaimed on the housetops.
Aboobo zyoonse nzimuyowamba mumudima ziyoomvwigwa mumumuni, azeezyo nzimwakavwiyavwiya mumatwi kamuli mumaanda amukati ziyoompololwa atala atululi
4 “I tell you, my friends, don’t be afraid of those who kill the body, and after that have no more that they can do.
Ndati kulindinywe bazolani bangu, tamubayoowi pe aabo bajaya mubili, musule azeezyo tabachikwe chimbi chakuchita.
5 But I will warn you whom you should fear. Fear him who after he has killed, has power to cast into Gehinnom. Yes, I tell you, fear him. (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 “Aren’t five sparrows sold for two assaria coins? Not one of them is forgotten by God.
Teensi tuyuni tusanu tulawuzigwa atukobili tuniini tubili na?
7 But the very hairs of your head are all counted. Therefore don’t be afraid. You are of more value than many sparrows.
Pesi tatulubwi pe kunembo lya Leza. Pesi nikuba masusu eenu alaamyeelwe woonse. Mutayoowi. Muli aabulemu kwiinda bayuni biingi.
8 “I tell you, everyone who confesses me before men, the Son of Man will also confess before the angels of God;
Ndati kulindinywe, kufumbwa uundizumina kunembo lyabantu, Mwana wa Muntu uyoomuzumina kunembo lyabangelo ba Leza,
9 but he who denies me in the presence of men will be denied in the presence of God’s angels.
pesi ooyo uundikaka kunembo lyabantu, uyookakwa kunembo lyabangelo ba Leza.
10 Everyone who speaks a word against the Son of Man will be forgiven, but those who blaspheme against the Holy Spirit will not be forgiven.
Kufumbwa uyoowambula majwi mabi aatala a Mwana wa Muntu, uyoolekelelwa, pesi ooyo usampawula Miuuya Uusalala, taakwe natakalekelelwe pe.
11 When they bring you before the synagogues, the rulers, and the authorities, don’t be anxious how or what you will answer or what you will say;
Nibatakamweete kunembo lya Zikombelo, babetesi, abasimilawu, tamukalikataazyi kuti muyowaambuula biyeni mukuli lwanina, nakuti muyotyeni,
12 for the Holy Spirit will teach you in that same hour what you must say.”
nkaambo Muuya Uusalala uyomuyiisya muli nchicheecho chiindi zyakwaamba.”
13 One of the multitude said to him, “Rabbi, tell my brother to divide the inheritance with me.”
Mpawo umwi wakali munkamu yabantu wakoompolola wati, “Muyiisyi, ambila mwanakesu kuti andaabile ambeno lukono.”
14 But he said to him, “Man, who made me a judge or an arbitrator over you?”
Jesu wakasandula wati “Yoo mwalumi, ngwani wakandinanika kuba mubetesi na sing'enda akati kenu?”
15 He said to them, “Beware! Keep yourselves from covetousness, for a man’s life doesn’t consist of the abundance of the things which he possesses.”
Mpawo wakati kulimbabo, “Amulangisisye eezyo zintu nzimulibambila kuzwa kubulyabi, nkaambo buumi bwamuntu tabulangwi kwiinda muzintu nzyaleezyo.”
16 He spoke a parable to them, saying, “The ground of a certain rich man produced abundantly.
Mpawo Jesu wakabaambila chikozyanisyo, kati, “Muunda wamuntu muvubi wakali abutebuuzi bwiingi,
17 He reasoned within himself, saying, ‘What will I do, because I don’t have room to store my crops?’
wakayeeya mumoyo wakwe, wati, 'Ndilachita biyeni, nkaambo nsikwe katuula kakubambila zilyo zyangu?'
18 He said, ‘This is what I will do. I will pull down my barns, build bigger ones, and there I will store all my grain and my goods.
Wakati, 'Eezi nyesichite. Ndilakolomona tutuula twangu ndiyake tumbi tupati, oomo mwesizobambile zilyo zyangu azimwi zintu.
19 I will tell my soul, “Soul, you have many goods laid up for many years. Take your ease, eat, drink, and be merry.”’
Mpawo ndiyoti kumuuya wangu, “Muuya waba aazintu zyiingi zibambidwe kwamyaaka myiingi. Lyookezye kabotu, lya, nywa, upakale.”
20 “But God said to him, ‘You foolish one, tonight your soul is required of you. The things which you have prepared—whose will they be?’
Pesi Leza wakati kuli nguwe, 'Yoomwaalumi mufubafuba, sunu muuya wako ulayandikana, zintu nzwabamba ziyooba zyani?'
21 So is he who lays up treasure for himself, and is not rich towards God.”
Mbabede muntu uulibambila buvubi pesi katavubide kuli Leza.”
22 He said to his disciples, “Therefore I tell you, don’t be anxious for your life, what you will eat, nor yet for your body, what you will wear.
Jesu wakati kuli basikwiiya bakwe, “Aboobo ntati kulindinywe, tamulikataazyi nkaambo kabuumi - kuti muyoolya nzi, na amubili wanu - kuti muyoozwaatayi.
23 Life is more than food, and the body is more than clothing.
Nkaambo buumi bwiinda kulya, alimwi mubili wiinda zizwaato.
24 Consider the ravens: they don’t sow, they don’t reap, they have no warehouse or barn, and God feeds them. How much more valuable are you than birds!
Amulange bayuni, tababyali na kutebula. Tabakwe tutuula, pesi Leza ulabapa chakulya. Mulekede bupati loko nywebo kwiinda bayuni!
25 Which of you by being anxious can add a cubit to his height?
Ngwani akati kenu uunga naalikataazya wayungizya mazuba akupona kubuumi bwakwe?
26 If then you aren’t able to do even the least things, why are you anxious about the rest?
Na kotakonzyi kuchita eecho chitu chinini, nkaambo nzi nimulikataazya azimwi zyoonse?
27 Consider the lilies, how they grow. They don’t toil, neither do they spin; yet I tell you, even Solomon in all his glory was not 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 this is how God clothes the grass in the field, which today exists and tomorrow is cast into the oven, how much more will he clothe you, O you of little faith?
Na Leza kazwaatika masokwe aalimumuunda, aanga sunu mpaali, juunza asowelwa mumulilo, ulamuzwaatika bwiingi butanali nywebo, Nozyalane lyalusyomo luniini!
29 “Don’t seek what you will eat or what you will drink; neither be anxious.
Tamulaanguuli nchimutalye na nchimutanywe, alimwi tamulikataazyi.
30 For the nations of the world seek after all of these things, but your Father knows that you need these things.
Nkaambo zisi zyoonsye zyaanyika zilanguula zintu eezi, alimwi Wuso ulizi kuti mulaziyanda zintu eezi.
31 But seek God’s Kingdom, and all these things will be added to you.
Pesi amuyandule bwami bwakwe, mpawo eezi zintu ziyopegwa kulindinywe.
32 “Don’t be afraid, little flock, for it is your Father’s good pleasure to give you the Kingdom.
Mutayoowi, nkaambo Wuso uulikujulu ulabotelwa kumupa bwami.
33 Sell what you have and give gifts to the needy. Make for yourselves purses which don’t grow old, a treasure in the heavens that doesn’t fail, where no thief approaches and no moth destroys.
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 be also.
Nkaambo ooko kuli buvubi bwako, moyo wako nkuubede.
35 “Let your waist be dressed and your lamps burning.
Amwaange zizwaato zyenu alukumba muchikungu, muyasye malampi eenu akkale kayaka,
36 Be like men watching for their lord when he returns from the wedding feast, that when he comes and knocks, they may immediately open to him.
mube mbuli bantu bayandula mwami wabo, naboola kuzwa kupobwe lyalukwatano, kuchitila kuti nasika kakonkomona balafwambaana kumujulila.
37 Blessed are those servants whom the lord will find watching when he comes. Most certainly I tell you that he will dress himself, make them recline, and will come and serve 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 They will be blessed if he comes in the second or third watch and finds them so.
Na mwami azosike mubusiku bwakulinda bwabili, na bwatatu, azobajane kabalindide, balilongezezegwe balanda aabo.
39 But know this, that if the master of the house had known in what hour the thief was coming, he would have watched and not allowed his house to be broken into.
Aatala azeezi zyoonse, kansinga mwani ng'anda walizi buzuba mbwasika sikubba, taalikunoleka ng'anda yakwe kuti inyonyoonwe pe.
40 Therefore be ready also, for the Son of Man is coming in an hour that you don’t expect him.”
Amulibambile anywebo, nkaambo tamulizi wola ndasika Mwana wa Muntu.”
41 Peter said to him, “Lord, are you telling this parable to us, or to everybody?”
Pita wakati, “Mwami, ulikwaamba chikozyanisyo eechi kulindiswe atulike na kumuntu woonse?”
42 The Lord said, “Who then is the faithful and wise steward, whom his lord will set over his household, to give them their portion of food at the right times?
Mwami wakati, “Ngwani mpo mweendelezi musongo awusyomekede ooyo mweendelezi wakwe ngwazobika kubalanda bakwe kuti abaabile chabo chimpanzi chakulyamuchiindi cheelede?
43 Blessed is that servant whom his lord will find doing so when he comes.
Ulilongezezegwe ooyo mulanda uyoojanika kachita oobo nayooboola mulanda wakwe.
44 Truly I tell you that he will set him over all that he has.
Nchobeni ndamwaambila kuti uyoomupa bweendelezi kuzintu zyakwe zyoonse.
45 But if that servant says in his heart, ‘My lord delays his coming,’ and begins to beat the menservants and the maidservants, and to eat and drink and to be drunken,
Pesi ooyo mulanda uti mumoyo wakwe, 'Mwani wangu wachedwa kuboola,' mpawo asangune kuuma balanda baalumi abanakazi, asangune kulya akunywa mpawo akolwe,
46 then the lord of that servant will come in a day when he isn’t expecting him and in an hour that he doesn’t know, and will cut him in two, and place his portion with the unfaithful.
mwami wayooyo mulanda uzoosika buzuba mbwatalangilide pe, amuwola ndyatayeeleli pe, uyoomugonkoola mpawo akamubikke kubusena bwabantu batasyomekede.
47 That servant who knew his lord’s will, and didn’t prepare nor do what he wanted, will be beaten with many stripes,
Ooyo mulanda, kali walimuzi mwami wakwe, alimwi katachitide na kumba mbuli mbayanda, uyoowumwa mfayindi nyiingi.
48 but he who didn’t know, and did things worthy of stripes, will be beaten with few stripes. To whomever much is given, of him will much be required; and to whom much was entrusted, of him more will be asked.
Pesi ooyo wakatezi, mpawo wachita zintu zyuumya, uyowumwa mfayindi nche. Woonse uupegwa zyiingi unolangilwa kupa zyiingi, ayooyo uusyomwa azyiingi, nzyiingi nzibayookumbila kuzwa kulinguwe.
49 “I came to throw fire on the earth. I wish it were already kindled.
Ndakasika kuzoowala mulilo aanyika, alimwi ndalikuyanda kut kansiinga zyachitika.
50 But I have a immersion to be immersed with, and how distressed I am until it is accomplished!
Pesi ndili aalubbabbatgizyo ndweelede ku bbabbatizigwa aalo, amachise ngelaawo mane kukamane!
51 Do you think that I have come to give peace in the earth? I tell you, no, but rather division.
Muyeeya kuti ndakasika kuzoyeta luumuno na anyika? Pepe, ndamwaambila, pesi kwaanzana.
52 For from now on, there will be 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 They will be divided, father against son, and son against father; mother against daughter, and daughter against her mother; mother-in-law against her daughter-in-law, and daughter-in-law against her 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 He said to the multitudes also, “When you see a cloud rising from the west, immediately you say, ‘A shower is coming,’ and so it happens.
Jesu wakaambula lubo kumakamu, “Na mwabona joba kalisimpa kububbila, mulafwaambana kwaamba kuti 'Yaamba kuwa mvula,' mpawo nga zyachitika.
55 When a south wind blows, you say, ‘There will be a scorching heat,’ and it happens.
Mpawo kwawunga guwo lizwida kumunsanza ngamwati sunu linoopya zuba,' mpawo zyachitika.
56 You hypocrites! You know how to interpret the appearance of the earth and the sky, but how is it that you don’t interpret this time?
Basikuupawupa, mulikwizi kumvwisisisya chiimo chanyika ajulu, pesi nkaambo nzi nimutakonzyi kumvwisisisya chiimo chachiindi chiliko lino?
57 “Why don’t you judge for yourselves what is right?
Nkaambo nzi nimutakonzyi kulibonena zilikabotu amulike?
58 For when you are going with your adversary before the magistrate, try diligently on the way to be released from him, lest perhaps he drag you to the judge, and the judge deliver you to the officer, and the officer throw you 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 you, you will by no means get out of there until you have paid the very last penny.”
Ndati kulindinywe, taakwe notakazwe pe kuyosikila ukaman kubbadala mali yoonse iyandikana.”
