Luke 12
1 Talak adumaktada, mioi lising lisingna, amaga amaga netsinnaba makhei tillarabada, Jisuna mahakki tung-inbasing aduda hanna haiba hourak-i, “Pharisee-singgi hamei haibadi makhoigi aphasasinnaba adudagi cheksillu.
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.
2 Maramdi phongdokloidaba kupsinba karisu leite, aduga khangloidaba arotpa karisu leite.
There is nothing, however covered up, which will not be uncovered, nor anything kept secret which will not become known.
3 Adunadi nakhoina amambada ngangkhiba khuding anganbada tagani aduga nakhoina thong thingjinba kanungda nakongda lonna ngangnakhiba khudingmak yumthaktagi laothokkani.”
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.
4 “Marupsa, eina nakhoida hairibasini, hakchangbu hatlaga matungda madudagi henna karisu touba ngamdaba makhoi adubu kiganu.
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.
5 Adubu nakhoina kanabu kigadabano haibadu eina nakhoida haige. Madudi hatlaba matungda norokta langsingnaba matik leiba Tengban Mapu mahakpu kiyu. Eina nakhoida hairibasini, nakhoina kigadaba adu mahak asini. (Geenna g1067)
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)
6 “Nakhoina sendrang mangabu peisa anida yonba nattra? Adumak oidunasu Tengban Mapuna makhoi amabusu kaothokpa toude.
Are not five sparrows sold for two copper coins? Yet not one of them has escaped God’s notice.
7 Aduga madudagi hendokna nakhoigi kokta houriba sam adu phaoba masing thiribani. Maram aduna kiganu, nakhoidi sendrang mayam amadagisu mamal yamba helli.
No, even the hairs of your head are all numbered. Do not be afraid; you are of more value than many sparrows.
8 “Eina nakhoida masimasu hairi, madudi misinggi mangda eigi tung-inbasingni haina phongdokpa makhoi adubu Migi Machanupa adunasu Tengban Mapugi swarga dutsinggi mamangda maduga chap manana makhoida toubigani.
Everyone, I tell you, who publicly acknowledges me, the Son of Man, also, will acknowledge before God’s angels;
9 Adubu misinggi mangda eigini haiba yajadaba makhoi adubudi Tengban Mapugi swargadutsingi mangda yabiroi.
but the person who publicly disowns me will be altogether disowned before God’s angels.
10 “Amasung Migi Machanupa adugi maiyokta wa ngangba mahak adubudi kokpigani, adubu Thawai Asengbagi mathakta thina ngangba mahak adubudi kokpiroi.
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.
11 “Aduga nakhoibu wayennaba synagogue-singda, aduga leingak mapusinggi nattraga leingakpasinggi mangda puthokpa matamda nakhoina nasa ngakthokchanaba kari khumgadage amadi kari haigadage haibagidamak karisu waganu.
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 defence will be, or what you will say;
12 Maramdi matam aduda nakhoina kari haigadabano haibadu Thawai Asengbana takpigani.”
for the Holy Spirit will show you at the moment what you ought to say.’
13 Adudagi miyam adugi maraktagi nupa amana Jisuda hanglak-i, “Oja Ibungo, Ipana eikhoigidamak thambiramba lanthum adu eiga yenthoknanaba iyambada khara haibiyu.”
‘Teacher,’ a man in the crowd said to Jesus, ‘tell my brother to share the property with me.’
14 Maduda Jisuna mangonda khumlak-i, “He Nupa, kanana eingonda nakhoibu wayelnaba nattraga nakhoi anigi lanthum adubu yenthokpinaba matik pibage?”
But Jesus said to him, ‘Man, who made me a judge or an arbiter between you?’
15 Adudagi Jisuna miyam aduda hairak-i, “Cheksillu aduga makhal khudingmakki kalak mihoubadagi nasabu ngak-senjou; maramdi nahakki punsi adu nahakki lanthum kaya yamna leibage haibaduna chang ongadaba natte.”
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.’
16 Adudagi Jisuna makhoida pandam asi hairak-i, “Kanagumba inakhunba nupa amagi mahei marong marang kaina thokpa loupham ama leirammi.
Then Jesus told them this parable – ‘There was once a rich man whose land was very fertile;
17 Mahakna masa mathanta asumna khanjarammi, ‘Eigi mahei marong pumnamak asi peisinnaba mapham leitre. Aduna ei houjik kari tougani?’
and he began to ask himself “What will I do, for I have nowhere to store my crops?
18 Amasung mahak masa mathanta haijarammi, ‘Eina asumna tourage, eina eigi kei asi sidoklaga eigi mahei marongsing amadi atei potsing pumnamak thamnanaba henna chaoba kei ama sarage.
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;
19 Adudagi eina isa ithanta haijagani, Laibakphaba nupa! Nahakna chahi kaya chatlagadaba aphaba pot pumnamak peisille; pothajaro, charo, thaklo amadi nungaijaro.’
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.”
20 Adubu Tengban Mapuna mangonda hairak-i, ‘He Apangba! Ngasi ahing asimaktada nahakki thawai louragani. Adu oirabadi nahakna nahak nasagidamak langkhatchariba pumnamaksing asi kanagi oihougadage?’”
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?”
21 “Makhoi masagidamak lanthum peikhatchariba adubu Tengban Mapugi mityengdadi inak khundaba makhoising aduda thokkadaba adumak masini.”
So it is with those who lay by wealth for themselves and are not rich to the glory of God.’
22 Adudagi Jisuna mahakki tung-inbasing aduda hairak-i, “Maram aduna eina nakhoida hairi, nakhoina hingnanabagidamak kari chagani aduga hakchanggidamak nakhoina kari setkani haina karisu langtaknaganu.
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.
23 Maramdi hingbana chinjaktagi aduga hakchangna phijoldagi yamna henna maru oi.
For life is more than food, and the body than its clothes.
24 Kwaksinggi maramda nakhoi wakhal tou; makhoina marusu hunde, loksu lokte aduga makhoigi machinjak peisinpham kei-su leite; adum oinamakpu Tengban Mapuna makhoibu machinjak pibi! Aduga nakhoidi ucheksing asidagi kayada henna mamal yamliba?
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!
25 Nakhoi kanana pukning lantaknabana masagi punsi adu mikup ama sangdokhanba ngambra?
But which of you, by being anxious, can prolong your life a moment?
26 Aduga nakhoina asigumba apikpa thabak asi phaoba touba ngamdraga ateisinggi maramda nakhoina karigi langtaknabano?
And, if you cannot do even the smallest thing, why be anxious about other things?
27 Lamlakki leirangsingna karamna houriba, nakhoi wakhal tou. Makhoina thabaksu sude aduga makhoi masagidamak phisu sade. Adubu eina nakhoida hairi, Solomonmaknasu mahakki matik mangal pumnamakka loinana phijet leitenglabasu leising asigi maraktagi amana phajaba adugumna phijet leitengkhide.
Think of the lilies, and how they grow. They neither toil nor spin; yet, I tell you, even Solomon in all his splendour was not robed like one of these.
28 Aduga ngasidi houriba, hayengdi leirangda hunjingadouriba loubukki napi phaoba Tengban Mapuna asumna phijet leitengbirabadi, he thajaba watpasa, mahakna nakhoibu kayada henna phijet leitengbiroidra?
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!
29 “Maram aduna nakhoina kari chagani, kari thakkani haiba adu thiganu, aduga wasu waruganu.
And you – do not be always seeking what you can get to eat or what you can get to drink; and do not waver.
30 Maramdi taibangpanda leiriba Tengban Mapu thajadaba mi pumnamakna pot pumnamak asi thi, adubu nakhoigi Napana pumnamaksing asi nakhoida mathou tai haiba khangbi.
These are the things for which all the nations of the world are seeking, and your Father knows that you need them.
31 Madugi mahutta nakhoina Tengban Mapugi Leibak adu thiyu aduga pot pumnamaksing asi mahakna nakhoida pinabigani.
No, seek his kingdom, and these things will be added for you.
32 “Yao sanggu macha, nakhoi kiganu. Maramdi nakhoida ningthou leibak adu pibiba haibasi nakhoigi Napagi apenbani.
So do not be afraid, my little flock, for your Father has been pleased to give you the kingdom.
33 Nakhoigi leijaba pumba yonthoktuna lairabasingda pinou. Aduga nakhoi nasagidamak manthaba naidraba sengao adu thourang toujou, amasung lan-thum hanthaba leiraroidaba, huranbanasu huba ngamlaroidaba, amadi til-kangnasu madubu manghanba ngamlaroidaba mapham swargada nakhoigi lan peisinjou.
‘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.
34 Maramdi nakhoigi lan leiba maphamda nakhoigi thamoisu lei.”
For where your treasure is, there also will your heart be.
35 “Thougal tounabagidamak naphi semduna amadi thaomei thanggatuna leiyu.
Make yourselves ready, with your lamps alight;
36 Luhongbagi chaklendagi mapu aduna halakpa ngairiba misinggum nakhoi oiyu. Madu mahakna halaktuna thong thillaba matamda makhoina khudakta thong adubu hangbagumna oinanabani.
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.
37 Mapu aduna halakpa matamda mitseng khangduna leiramba manaising adu yaiphabani. Eina nakhoida tasengnamak hairibasini, madudi mahakna thougal tounaba maphi semgani amasung makhoibu chananaba phamthahangani aduga mahakna makhoibu thougal tougani.
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.
38 Mahakna ahing nongyaida lakpasu yai natraga madugi matungda lakpasu yai. Adubu mahakna halakpa matamda mitseng khangduna leiramba makhoi adu yaiphabani.
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.
39 Aduga masisu khangngu, karigumba yumbu aduna huranbana lakkadaba pungpham adu khanglamlabadi mahakna mitseng khangduna yum adu sagun touhallamoidabani.
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.
40 Maram aduna nakhoisu thourang touduna leiyu maramdi nakhoina ningludaba pungphamda Migi Machanupa adu lenglakkani.”
You must also prepare, for when you are least expecting him the Son of Man will come.’
41 Adudagi Peter-na hanglak-i, “Ibungo, nahakna pandam asi eikhoikhaktada haibiribra natraga mi pumnamaktara?”
‘Master,’ said Peter, ‘are you telling this parable with reference to us or to everyone?’
42 Maduda Ibungona khumlak-i, “Adu oiragadi, mapu aduna imung manung adugi thabak asin arang tounaba amasung atoppa minaising aduda matam chana makhoigi chananaba sharuk pinanabagidamak pannahalliba thajaba yaba amadi asingba minai adu kanano?
‘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?
43 Mapu aduna halakpa matamda asumna touramba thengnaba minai adu kayada yaiphabano?
Happy will that servant be whom his master, when he comes home, will find doing this.
44 Eina nakhoida achumba adu hairibasini, mahakpu mapu aduna mahakki leijaba lanthum pumnamakki mathakta pannaba mi oihanbigani.
His master, I tell you, will put him in charge of the whole of his property.
45 Adubu minai aduna mapukningda mapu adu matam kuina halakkhiroi khanduna mahakna atoppa minai nupasing amadi nupising animakpu phuba, thak-chaba amadi yu ngaoba hourabadi,
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,
46 minai aduna halakkani ningludaba amadi mahakna khangdaba numit amada mapu aduna hallakani. Aduga mahakpu matup thokna kakthatkani amasung haiba indabasing mapham adu mahakkisu saruk phanghangani.
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.
47 “Amasung mapugi aningba adu khangba minai amana thourang toudrabadi aduga mapugi aningba adu pangthoktrabadi mahakpu cheiphu kayarak phuduna cheirak pigani.
The servant who knows his master’s wishes and yet does not prepare and act accordingly will receive many lashes;
48 Adubu mapugi aningba adudi khangdaba aduga cheirak phangba yaba aranba kharadi touba mahak adubu cheiphu kharatamak phuduna cheirak pigani. Maramdi yamna pibikhiba mahak adudagi yamna tangani aduga yamna henna sinnakhiba mahak adudagi yamna henna tangani.
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.
49 “Eina malem asi mei chakhannaba lakpani; aduga mei adu hannana chakhallamba eina kayada pamjaba!
I came to cast fire on the earth; and what more can I wish, if it is already kindled?
50 Adubu eina lougadaba baptize ama lei, aduga madu thungdriba paoba eina kayada wariba?
There is a baptism that I must undergo, and how great is my distress until it is over!
51 Eina taibangpan asida ingthaba piba lakpani haina khanbra? Eina nakhoida hairibasini, natte, adubu khaidok-hannabani.
Do you think that I am here to bring peace on earth? No, I tell you, but to cause division.
52 Ngasidagi houna mi manga leiba imung adu tokhai tokhai tanagani; madudi ahumna anigi maiyokta aduga anina ahumgi maiyokta leigani.
For from this time, if there are five people in a house, they will be divided, three against two, and two against three.
53 Mapana machagi maiyokta leigani aduga machana mapagi maiyokta leigani; mamana machanupigi maiyokta aduga machanupigi maiyokta mamana leigani; manemna mamougi maiyokta aduga mamouna manemgi maiyokta leigani.”
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.’
54 Jisuna miyam aduda masimasu hairak-i, “Nakhoina nongchuplomdagi amuba leichil pairakpa ubada nong chugadoure haina nakhoina khudakta haigani aduga madu thok-i.
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.
55 Aduga khagi nungsit sitlakpa matamda ngasidi omchaknaba numit oigani haina nakhoina hai aduga madu thok-i.
And when you see that the wind is in the south, you say “It will be burning hot,” and so it proves.
56 Aphasasinnabasa! Nakhoina atiya malemgi phibam yenglaga nongju nungsagi maramda khang-i; adu oiragadi houjikki matam asigi maramda karamna handokkani haiba khangdriba karigino?
Hypocrites! You know how to judge of the earth and the sky; how is it, then, that you cannot judge of this time?
57 “Achumba adu tounanaba nakhoi nasana karigi wayenjadribano?
Why don’t you yourselves decide what is right?
58 Nahakna nahakki maiyokta naral siriba mahakka wayelsangda chatpa matamda, nahakna wayelsang youdringeida yetnaba adu yariba makei yasinnanaba nahakna ngamjaba adu hotnou. Adu nattragadi mahakna nahakpu wayel mapugi mangda chingthokpa yai aduga mahakna nangbu phamnaibada sinnagani aduga nahakpu keisumsangda thajingani.
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.
59 Eina nangonda hairibasini, nahakna singdokkadaba aroiba senpham adu hek singdoktriba makheidi nahakna mapham adudagi thorakpa yaroi.”
You will not, I tell you, come out until you have paid the very last cent.’
