Luka 12
1 Akatungu ako, ebhiumbi bhya abhanu nibhekofyanya amwi, okukingila nibhamba ukutajana, namba okwaika na abheigisibhwa bhaye okwamba, “Mwikenge ne echifwimbya cha Abhafarisayo echo ni bhunafiki”
In the meantime, when many thousands of the people were gathered together, so much that they trampled on each other, he began to say to his disciples first of all, “Beware of the yeast of the Pharisees, which is hypocrisy.
2 Italibhao mbisike iselekele inu italisululwa, nolwo egambo liselekelwe linu litalimenyekana.
But there is nothing concealed that will not be revealed, and nothing hidden that will not be known.
3 Na lyona lyona linu mwaikile muli muchisute, lilyungwibhwa mubhwelu. Na gonagona ganu mwaikile mukutwi muli munsika jemwe eja munda bhigae galyaikwa ingulu yoruswi lwa inyumba.
So whatever you have said in the darkness will be heard in the light, and what you have spoken in the ear in the inner rooms will be proclaimed upon the housetops.
4 Bhasani bhani enibhabhwila, mwasiga okubhaya bhanu abheta omubhili na nibhamala bhatali na chinu chindi echokukola,
I say to you my friends, do not be afraid of those who kill the body, and after that they have no more that they can do.
5 Nawe enibhaonya mumenye owokubhaya. Mubhaye unu kamala okwita na ali no obhutulo obhwokulasa mwitanga lyomulilo. Yee, enibhabhwila mubhaye oyo. (Geenna g1067)
But I will warn you about whom to fear. Fear the one who, after he has killed, has authority to throw you into hell. Yes, I say to you, fear him. (Geenna g1067)
6 Mbe enibhusha, ebhitamba bhitanu bhatabhigusha senti ebhili? nawe ona kataliwo nakamwi kanu Nyamuanga alikalabhilwa imbele yaye.
Are not five sparrows sold for two small coins? Yet not one of them is forgotten in the sight of God.
7 Nawe mumenye ati, jimfwili je emitwe jemwe jibhalilwe. Msige kubhaya. Emwe muli ne echibhalo chinene okukila ebhitamba bhyafu.
But even the hairs of your head are all numbered. Do not fear. You are more valuable than many sparrows.
8 Enibhabhwila, wonawona unu alinyikilisha imbele ya abhanu, Omwana wa Adamu ona alimwikilisha imbele ya bhamalaika bha Nyamuanga.
I say to you, everyone who confesses me before men, the Son of Man will also confess before the angels of God,
9 Nawe wonawona unu alinyigana imbele ya abhanu omwene ona nilimwigana imbele ya bhamalaika bha Nyamuanga.
but he who denies me before men will be denied before the angels of God.
10 Wonawona unu alyaikako Omwana wa Adamu kubhibhi, alisasilwa, nawe wonawona unu alijimya Mwoyo Mweru, atalisasilwa.
Everyone who speaks a word against the Son of Man, it will be forgiven him, but to him who blasphemes against the Holy Spirit, it will not be forgiven.
11 “Bhalibha bhabhasila imbele ya abhakulu bha amasinagogi, abhatwale, na abhobhuinga, mwasiga kubhaya ingulu ya kutyo mulaika okwibhambalila amo ati echija okwaika chinuki,
When they bring you before the synagogues, the rulers, and the authorities, do not worry about how you will speak in your defense, or what you will say,
12 kulwokubha Mwoyo Mweru kaja okubheigisha injila yo okwaika mukatungu ako.”
for the Holy Spirit will teach you in that hour what you should say.”
13 Omunu umwi mwiijo namubhwila ati, “Mwiigisha, nubhwile omumula wasu anane libhala lyo omwandu gwani.”
Then someone from the crowd said to him, “Teacher, tell my brother to divide the inheritance with me.”
14 Yesu nasubhya ati, “Niga unu anteyewo okubha mulamusi na mugwatanyisha wemwe?
Jesus said to him, “Man, who made me a judge or a mediator over you?”
15 Nio nabhabhwila ati, “Mwikenge na bhuli mbaga yo omululu, kulwokubha obhuanga bhwo omunu bhutali mubhwafu bhe ebhinu bhini alinabhyo.”
He said to them, “Watch that you keep yourselves from all greedy desires, because a person's life does not consist of the abundance of his possessions.”
16 Yesu nabhabhwila echijejekanyo, naika ati, “Lisambu lya omunu umwi owalibhona lyaisishe ebhilyo bhyafu,
Then Jesus told them a parable, saying, “The field of a rich man yielded abundantly,
17 nebhusha mumwoyo gwaye naika ati, 'nikole kutiki kulwokubha nitali nawakutula ebhilyo bhyani?
and he reasoned with himself, saying, 'What will I do, because I do not have a place to store my crops?'
18 Naika ati, enija okukola kutya. Enifumya ebhitala bhyani ebhitoto nindanda ebhinene, omwo nimwo nimbika ebhilyo bhani ne ebhinu bhindi.
He said, 'This is what I will do. I will pull down my barns and build bigger ones, and there I will store all of my grain and other goods.
19 Nimbilwa omwoyo gwani, “Webhikiye ebhinu bhyafu kwe myaka myafu. Fung'ama, ulye, unywe no kuchecheka.”'
I will say to my soul, “Soul, you have many goods stored up for many years. Rest easy, eat, drink, be merry.”'
20 “Nawe Nyamuanga namubhwila ati, 'Awe omunu omumumu, mungeta ya lelo abhenda obhulame okusoka kwao, mbe ebhinu bhinu wilabhile ebhibha bhyaga?'
But God said to him, 'Foolish man, tonight your soul is required of you, and the things you have prepared, whose will they be?'
21 Mbe nikwokutyo jili ku bhuli munu unu ebhikiye imali nasiga okwilabha (okwilosha) kumisango jo Omukama.”
That is what someone is like who stores up treasure for himself and is not rich toward God.”
22 Yesu nabhabhwila abheigisibhwa bhaye ati, “Kulwejo enibhabhwila kutya, mwasiga okuyaya ingulu ya obhulame bhweme ati omulya chinuki amo ingulu ye emibhili jemwe ati omufwala chinuki.
Jesus said to his disciples, “Therefore I say to you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat—or about your body, what you will wear.
23 Kulwokubha obhulame obhukila ebhilyo, no omubhili ogukila ebhifwalo.
For life is more than food, and the body is more than clothes.
24 Mulole jinyonyi ja mulutumba, jitakulima nolwo jitakugesa. Jitali nanlusika nolwo echitala echo okubhikamo bhinu, nawe Esomwana kajilisha ebhilyo. Emwe mukondele okukili jinyonyi!
Consider the ravens, that they do not sow or reap. They have no storeroom or barn, but God feeds them. How much more valuable you are than the birds!
25 Niga unu mwimwe unu katula okwongesha chita chimwi ku bhulame bhwaye?
Which of you by being anxious can add a cubit to his lifespan?
26 Mbe kalabha mutakutula okukola echinu chitoto changuile, mbe kubhaki okunyakilila agandi ago?
If then you are not able to do such a very little thing, why do you worry about the rest?
27 Mulole kutyo amatwasho agamela. Gatakukola milimu nolwo okusuka. Nawe enibhabhwila kutya, nolwo Selemani mwikusho lyaye lyona atafafwibhwe lwa limwi lya amatwasho ganu,
Consider the lilies—how they grow. They do not labor, neither do they spin. Yet I say to you, even Solomon in all his glory was not clothed like one of these.
28 ka labha Nyamuanga kafwafya kisi amatwasho ge emwila, ganu lelo galio, ka mutondo nigalaswa mumulilo. Atabhafwafya emwe kukila ago? Emwe abhalikilisha litoto!
If God so clothes the grass in the field, which exists today, and tomorrow is thrown into the oven, how much more will he clothe you, O you of little faith!
29 Musige okunyaka ati omulya chinuki amo ati omunywa chinuki, nolwo mwasiga okubha nolwo okuliyaya.
Do not look for what you will eat and what you will drink, and do not be anxious.
30 Kulwokubha amayanga gonna aga muchalo aganyakilila amagambo ago. Esomwana wemwe kamenya nkanikwo omugenda ago.
For all the nations of the world look for these things, and your Father knows that you need them.
31 Nawe mulonde okwamba obhukama bhwaye, agandi ago omuja okwongesibhwa,
But seek his kingdom, and these things will be added to you.
32 Mwasiga kubhaya emwe liijo litoto, kulwokubha Esomwana akondelewe okubhayana emwe obhukama obhwo.
Do not fear, little flock, because your Father is very pleased to give you the kingdom.
33 Mugushe jimali jemwe muyane abhataka, mwikolele emifuko jinu jitakuwelwa- ebhinu bhya mulwire bhinyantawa, eyo abhefi bhatakulebhelela nolwo amayenje gatakunyamula.
Sell your possessions and give to the poor. Make for yourselves purses which will not wear out—treasure in the heavens that does not run out, where no thief comes near, and no moth destroys.
34 Kulwokubha ao ili imali yao niwo no omwoyo gwao ghulibha.
For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.
35 Emyendya jemwe jindela mujibhoye no omushipi, na jitala jemwe jimalilile jibhega nijigendelela okwaka,
Let your long clothing be tucked in at your belt, and let your lamps be kept burning,
36 na mubhe lwa bhanu bhatengejee Omukama webhwe okusoka mubhulegesi, koleleki akakinga no okukonona, bhatule kwo obhwangu okumwigulila omulyango.
and be like people looking for their master when he returns from the marriage feast, so that when he comes and knocks, they may immediately open the door for him.
37 Bhana libhando abhakosi bhemilimu, bhanu Lata Bhugenyi alisanga bhatengejee. Ni chimali alibhoya omwenda gwaye omulela kwo omusipi, neya nabheyanja ansi bhalye ebhilyo, namala nabhafulubhendela.
Blessed are those servants whom the master will find watching when he comes. Truly I say to you, he will tuck in his long clothing at his belt, and have them sit down at the table, and he will come and serve them.
38 Labha Lata Bhugenyi akakinga abhanu bhewetuyemo kabhili, nabhasanga bhamaliliye, mbe abhakosi abho abhabhona libhando.
If the master comes in the second watch of the night, or if even in the third watch, and finds them ready, blessed are those servants.
39 Ingulu yago, mumenye na linu, chisanga kanya nyumba amenyele isaa eyo omwifi kejilamo, atakekilisishe inyumba yaye ingililwe.
But understand this, that if the master of the house had known the hour the thief was coming he would not have let his house be broken into.
40 Mbe mubhega mumaliliye kulwokubha ona mutakumenya nikatunguki ako Omwana wa Adamu alisubha.
Be ready also, because you do not know the hour when the Son of Man comes.”
41 Petro naika ati, “Lata Bhugenyi, oubhwia eswe bhenyele echijejekanyo bhinu, angu oubhwila bhuli munu?”
Peter said, “Lord, are you telling this parable only to us, or also to everyone?”
42 Omukama nabhabhwila ati, “Ni mugayaki unu amasishe amo owobhwengeso unu lata bhugenyi waye kamutula ingulu ya abhagaya abhandi, koleleki abhagabhile ebhilyo akatungu ko obhwana?
The Lord said, “Who then is the faithful and wise manager whom his lord will set over his other servants to give them their portion of food at the right time?
43 Ana libhando omugaya unu alisangwa nakola kutyo alagiliwe.
Blessed is that servant whom his lord finds doing that when he comes.
44 Nichimali enibhabhwila kutya alimutula ingulu ya jimali jaye jona.
Truly I say to you that he will set him over all his property.
45 Nawe omugaya oyo akaika mumwoyo gwaye ati, omukulu wani akola okusubha; kulwejo namba okubhuma abhagaya bhechilume na abhechigasi, nio namba okulya, okunywa no okutamila,
But if that servant says in his heart, 'My lord delays his return,' and begins to beat the male and female servants, and to eat and drink, and to become drunk,
46 mbe lata Bhugenyi wo omugaya oyo alija olusiku na akatungu kanu atakumenya, kamutema bhibhala bhibhala namutula amwi na bhanu bhatali no obhwitonde bhwo okwikilishanya.”
the lord of that servant will come in a day when he does not expect, and in an hour that he does not know, and will cut him in pieces and appoint a place for him with the unfaithful.
47 Omugaya unu kamenya akakoleye ka lata bugenyi waye, ka nasiga okwilosha nolwo okukola lwakutyo omukulu waye kenda, alibhumwa nsimbo nyafu.
That servant, having known his lord's will, and not having prepared or done according to his will, will be beaten with many blows.
48 Nawe omugaya unu atakumenya akakoleye ko omukulu waye, nawe nakola kutyo ejendibhwa, alibhumwa nsimbo ntoto. Kulwokubha unu ayabhilwe bhyafu, alitongwa bhyafu okusoka kwaye, naunu asigiwe bhyafu kwo kwikilishanya, bhilitongwa bhafu okusoka kwaye.
But the one who did not know and did what deserved a beating, he will be beaten with a few blows. But everyone who has been given much, from them much will be required, and the one who has been entrusted with much, even more will be asked.
49 Mbe nijile okwakya omulilo muchalo, na enenda muno gubhe gwamalile okwaka!
I came to cast fire upon the earth, and how I wish that it were already kindled.
50 Nawe nili nobhubhatijo obhwo kubhatijibhwa, na nisurumbaye okukingila ao bhwakakumile!
But I have a baptism to be baptized with, and how I am distressed until it is completed!
51 Enibhusha, umwiganilisha ati nijile okuleta omulembe muchalo? Pai, Enibhwabhila ati niletele obhutagani.
Do you think that I came to bring peace on the earth? No, I tell you, but rather division.
52 Kwambila olyanu nokugendelela bhanu bhatanu munyumba imwi ousanga bhatasikene, ahasatu bhali lwebhwe na abhabhili bhali lwebhwe, abhabhili bhatasikene na abhasatu.
For from now on there will be five in one house divided—three people against two, and two people against three.
53 Bhalitagana, lata alitasikana no Omwana waye, no omwana alitasikana nesemwene, nyilamwene alitasikana no omuasha, na omuasha alibhayata atasikene na nyilamwene, Maibhuko alitasikana no omukamwana no omukamwana alitasikana na nyabhuko waye.
They will be divided, father against son, and son against father; mother against daughter, and daughter against mother; mother-in-law against her daughter-in-law, and daughter-in-law against mother-in-law.”
54 Yesu nabhwila na liijo ati, “Mukalola amele nigesunga ebhugwa, nimwaika ati 'akatungu kaing'ubha kakinga,' ka nikwo kutyo ejibha.
Jesus was saying to the crowds also, “When you see a cloud rising in the west, immediately you say, 'A shower is coming,' and so it happens.
55 Komuyaga gwa amalimbe gukayemba, nimwaika ati, 'Eija okubhayo imbita nyafu,' ka nikwo kutyo ejibha.
When a south wind is blowing, you say, 'There will be a scorching heat,' and it happens.
56 Emwe abhanafiki, omutula okugajula kutyo echalo no olutumba ebhibhonekana mumeso, nawe ejibha kutiki mutakumenya okugajula akatungu kaoli anu?
Hypocrites, you know how to interpret the appearance of the earth and the heavens, but how is it that you do not know how to interpret the present time?
57 Kubhaki bhuli munu abhule okusombola linu lilikisi kumwene na akalikola akatungu kanu ali nomwanya gwo kukola kutyo?
Why do you not judge what is right for yourselves?
58 Kulwa insonga mukagenda naunu omusitakana imbele yo omulamusi, ikomesha mungwane naunu omusitakana nage muchali munjila ataja okusila kumulamusi, no omulamusi akakusila kumukulu we emilimu, no omukulu we emilimu akakulasa mulunyolo.
For when you go with your adversary before the magistrate, on the way make an effort to settle the matter with him so that he does not drag you to the judge, and so that the judge does not deliver you to the officer, and the officer does not throw you into prison.
59 Enaika ati, utakusokamo omwo okukingila uliye isenti yokumalisha.
I say to you, you will never come out from there until you have paid the very last bit of money.”
