Luka 12
1 Gene malangago bhashinkuluimana lugwinjili lwa bhandu maelupu, mpaka kuishila kulibhatana, a Yeshu gubhatandwibhe kwaalugulilanga bhaajiganywa bhabho, Mwiiteiganje na ngedule ya mapalishayo, yani ugulumba.
Meanwhile, when a crowd 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.
2 Shakwapi shoshowe shiunishilwe shikaapinga unukulwa, na shoshowe shiishiywe shipinga manyika.
But there is nothing covered up, that will not be revealed, nor hidden, that will not be known.
3 Kwa nneyo, yowe immeleketenje palubhindu, bhandunji shibhaipilikananje pa shilangaya na yowe imwanyinyitangaga nnyumba nni nng'ugelenje milango, ipinga lunguywa pa shipagala sha nyumba.
Therefore whatever you have said in the darkness will be heard in the light. What you have spoken in the ear in the inner chambers will be proclaimed on the housetops.
4 Ngunakunnugulilanga mwashaambwiga ajangu, nnaajogopanje bhabhulaganga shiilu bhala, ikabheje bhakaakombolanga kutenda shina kupunda shenesho.
"I tell you, my friends, do not be afraid of those who kill the body, and after that have no more that they can do.
5 Shininnangulanje gani apinjikwa kujogopwa. Munnjogopanje jwene akombola kubhulaga, na abhulagaga anakombola kunnjaa mundu ku moto gwa kujeanamu. Elo, ngunakummalanjilanga, munnjogopanje jwenejo. (Geenna g1067)
But I will warn you whom you should fear. Fear him, who after he has killed, has power to cast into hell. Yes, I tell you, fear him. (Geenna g1067)
6 Bhuli ndyondyo nng'ano ikaushwa kwa ela ishokope? Ikabheje nkali jumo akalibhalika na a Nnungu.
"Are not five sparrows sold for two assaria coins? Not one of them is forgotten by God.
7 Nkali umbo ya mmitwe jenunji a Nnungu bhaimanyi pwili ilingwa. Bhai, nnajogopanje, mmanganya mmambonenji kupunda ndyondyo yaigwinji!
But the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Therefore do not be afraid. You are of more value than many sparrows.
8 “Kweli ngunakummalanjilanga, mundu jojowe ashangunde palugwinjili, Mwana juka Mundu shankunde pa ashimalaika bha a Nnungu.
"I tell you, everyone who confesses me before people, him will the Son of Man also confess before the angels of God;
9 Ikabheje, mundu jojowe angana pa bhandu najwalakwe apinga kanwa pa ashimalaika bha a Nnungu.
but the one who denies me in the presence of people will be denied in the presence of the angels of God.
10 “Jojowe abheleketa malobhe ga nyata kuka Mwana juka Mundu shaleshelelwe, ikabheje akunkupulu Mbumu jwa Ukonjelo akaleshelelwa.
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.
11 “Mmanganya pushibhampelekanje mmashinagogi kuukumulwa na bhatagwala na bhakulungwanji, nnakolanje lipamba lya shana bhuli pushimwitapulanje eu muubheleketelo.
When they bring you before the synagogues, the rulers, and the authorities, do not be anxious how or what you will answer, or what you will say;
12 Pabha popo pepo Mbumu jwa Ukonjelo shannjiganyanje sha bheleketa.”
for the Holy Spirit will teach you in that same hour what you must say."
13 Mundu jumo nnugwinjili lwa bhandu lula gwabhalugulile a Yeshu, “Mmaajiganya, munnugulile nkulwangu tugabhane ulishi gubhatuleshele atati.”
And someone in the crowd said to him, "Teacher, tell my brother to divide the inheritance with me."
14 A Yeshu gubhannjangwile, “Ambwiga, gani amishile nne kubha akimu na nkugabhanya jwenunji?”
But he said to him, "Man, who made me a judge or an arbitrator over you?"
15 Bhai a Yeshu gubhaalugulilenje bhowenji, “Mwiiteiganje na shilokoli shoshowe, pabha gumi uka mundu ukatamila ga gwinji gwa indu yakwete.”
He said to them, "Beware. Keep yourselves from all covetousness, for a man's life does not consist of the abundance of the things which he possesses."
16 Kungai gubhaatanjilenje lutango, “Ashinkupagwa mundu jumo tajili, atungwile yalya munngunda gwakwe.
He spoke a parable to them, saying, "The ground of a certain rich man brought forth abundantly.
17 Jwene mundujo gwaganishiye muntima gwakwe, ‘Shindende bhuli na nne nangali pagosheya yalya yangu?
He reasoned within himself, saying, 'What will I do, because I do not have room to store my crops?'
18 Shindende nnei, shimomole nngokwe yangu na shinjenje jikulungwa, mwenemo shimishe yalya yowe na indu yangu.
He said, 'This is what I will do. I will pull down my barns, and build bigger ones, and there I will store all my grain and my goods.
19 Penepo shiniibheleketele shamuntima, nnaino ukwete shibhiko sha pwaa yaka ya igwinji. Bhai pumulila, gwiilile na gwiing'wele na kuangalila.’
I will tell my soul, "Soul, you have many goods laid up for many years. Take your ease, eat, drink, be merry."'
20 Ikabheje a Nnungu gubhannugulile, ‘Mmangumba mmwe, shilo sha lelo ntima gwenu upinga tolwa. Na indu yowe imwiibhishile ila shiibhe ikeni?’”
"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?'
21 A Yeshu gubhamalishiye kwa bheleketa, “Na malinga mundu akwiibhishila indu nnyene, ikabheje kwa a Nnungu jwangali shindu.”
So is he who lays up treasure for himself, and is not rich toward God."
22 Kwa nneyo a Yeshu gubhaabhalanjilenje bhaajiganywa bhabho, “Kwa lyene ligongolyo, nnakolanje lipamba ga shalya sha lamila, wala ga iwalo.
He said to his disciples, "Therefore I tell you, do not be anxious for your life, what you will eat, nor yet for your body, what you will wear.
23 Pabha gumi ni gwa mmbone kupunda shalya, na shiilu ni sha mmbone kupunda iwalo.
Life is more than food, and the body is more than clothing.
24 Nngalolanje makungulu, gakapanda na gakaneng'ena na wala gangali nngokwe jojowe. Nkali nneyo a Nnungu bhanakugaliya. Mmanganya ni bhammbonenji kupunda ijuni!
Consider the ravens: they do not sow, they do not reap, they have no warehouse or barn, and God feeds them. How much more valuable are you than birds.
25 Gani munkumbi gwenunji kwa lajilila kwakwe akombola kwiijenjesheya kapela lyubha limo lya gumi gwakwe?
Which of you by being anxious can add a cubit to his height?
26 Bhai, monaga nkakombolanga kutenda shindu shishoko malinga shenesho, kwa nndi nnajililanje na ganago?
If then you are not able to do even the least things, why are you anxious about the rest?
27 Nnolanje malubha ga mukonde shigakuti bhulika. Gakapota wala gakaluka. Ikabheje ngunakummalanjilanga, nkali a Shelemani na shuma kwabho kowe bhangawashwa kwa konja malinga lilubha limo.
Consider the lilies, how they grow. They do not toil, neither do they spin; yet I tell you, even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these.
28 Bhai ibhaga, a Nnungu bhanakuliwasha nneyo liamba lya mukonde linkulibhonanga lelo na malabhi linaleshelwa pamoto, bhuli, mmanganya bhakanng'washanga kupunda genego? Mmanganya bha ngulupai jishoko!
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?
29 “Bhai nnaabhushilanje ga shalya eu ga ya papila wala nnakolanje lipamba.
Do not seek what you will eat or what you will drink; neither be anxious.
30 Pabha bhandu bhowe bhakakwaamanyanga a Nnungu, yeneyo peyo ni ibhaabhushilanga. Ikabheje Ainabhenunji bhamumanyi kuti mmanganya nnakwiipinganga yene induyo.
For the nations of the world seek after all of these things, but your Father knows that you need these things.
31 Ikabhe nng'abhushilanje oti Upalume gwa a Nnungu, na ina yowe shimpatanje.”
But seek his Kingdom, and these things will be added to you.
32 “Nnajogopanje, mmandunji bha likundi lishoko! Pabha Ainabhenunji bhashiengwa kumpanganga Upalume gwabho.
Do not be afraid, little flock, for it is your Father's good pleasure to give you the Kingdom.
33 Nng'ushanje indu yenunji, mmbiyayo mwaapanganje bhaalaga. Mwialashiyanje mipatila jangalala nikwiibhishila shibhiko kunnungu kuikaamala. Kweneko bhagwii bhakajinjilanga, wala mang'ong'ota gakaalibhia.
Sell that which you have, and give gifts to the needy. Make for yourselves purses which do not grow old, a treasure in the heavens that does not fail, where no thief approaches, neither moth destroys.
34 Pabha pushili shibhiko shenu na ntima gwenu shigubhe popo.
For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.
35 “Mmanganje tayali kwa liengo, na kandili yenunji ilikolela,
"Let your waist be girded and your lamps burning.
36 mmanganje malinga bhatumishi bhakwaalindililanga bhakulungwa bhabhonji bhabhuje kukopoka kundoa, nkupinga shangu bhaugulilanje pushibhaolishiyepo.
Be like people watching for their lord, when he returns from the marriage feast; that, when he comes and knocks, they may immediately open to him.
37 Mbaya bhene bhatumishi bhakulungwa bhabhonji pushibhabhuje, shibhaaimananje bhalisheyanga! Kweli ngunakummalanjilanga, bhene bhakulungwabho shibhaibhishe ukoto kwa liengo, nikwaatamikanga bhalyanganje shalya, akuno bhalikwaatumishilanga.
Blessed are those servants, whom the lord will find watching when he comes. Truly I tell you, that he will dress himself, and make them recline, and will come and serve them.
38 Nkali bhabhuje pakati shilo eu kumashelo, mbaya bhene bhatumishi bhushiaimananje bhalisheyanga!
And if he comes in the second watch, or even in the third, and finds them so, blessed are they.
39 Mmumanyanje kuti, kaliji nnyene nyumba akagamanyi malanga ga kwiya nngwii, akasheshiye, wala akanaleshe nyumba jakwe jibhomolwe.
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 have allowed his house to be broken into.
40 Nneila peila numbe mmanganya mmanganje muulolelo, pabha Mwana juka Mundu anakwiya malanga gunkakugalolelanga.”
Therefore be ready also, for the Son of Man is coming in an hour that you do not expect him."
41 A Petili gubhaabhushiye a Yeshu, “Mmakulungwa, lwene lutangolu ntutanjile uwepe, eu bhandu bhowe?”
And Peter said, "Lord, are you telling this parable to us, or to everyone?"
42 Bhakulungwa gubhajangwile, Bhai, igala gani ali nkulungwa jwa bhatumishi akwete lunda, lwa kwaatenda bhakulungwa bhakwe bhammishe kubha nkulungwa jwa bhatumishi bhabho, nkupinga abhapanganje shalya malanga ga pwaa?
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 time?
43 Shiibhe mbaya jwene nkulungwa jwa bhatumishijo, bhakulungwa bhakwe pushibhabhujepo bhanng'imane alitenda nneyo.
Blessed is that servant whom his lord will find doing so when he comes.
44 Kweli ngunakummalanjilanga, shibhantende nkulungwa jwa indu yabho yowe.
Truly I tell you, that he will set him over all that he has.
45 Ikabheje jwene ntumishijo aibheleketelaga sha muntima, bhakulungwa bhangu bhanakabha kubhuja, nitandubha kwaakomanga bhatumishi ajakwe, bhanabhalume na bhanabhakongwe, nilya na ng'wa na kolelwa,
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 drunk,
46 bhakulungwa bhakwe shibhabhuje lyubha lyangalilolela na malanga gangagamanya, shibhanngabhanye ipande ibhili, nikummika pamo na bhangakulupalikanga.
then the lord of that servant will come in a day when he is not expecting him, and in an hour that he does not know, and will cut him in two, and place his portion with the unfaithful.
47 Ntumishi akugamanya gubhapinga bhakulungwa bhakwe, ikabhe akaatenda ibhapinga, shapanyangulwe kaje.
That servant, who knew his lord's will, and did not prepare, nor do what he wanted, will be beaten with many stripes,
48 Ikabheje akakumumanya jula, atendaga ya kummulaya apanyangulwe, shapanyangulwe kashoko. Jojowe apegwilwe yaigwinji, shalongwe yaigwinji, akulupalilwe kwa yaigwinji, shiipinjikwe yaigwinji.
but he who did not 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.
49 “Njikwiya koleya moto pa shilambolyo, mbaya ukaliji ukoleywe!
"I came to throw fire on the earth. I wish it were already kindled.
50 Ikabheje njikola ubhatisho gungupinjikwa matishwe, ngunapupa ntima mpaka gwene ubhatishogo umalile!
But I have a baptism to be baptized with, and how distressed I am until it is accomplished.
51 Punkuganishiyanga nyile peleka ulele pa shilambolyo? Wala kashoko, nngabha ulele ikabhe malekano.
Do you think that I have come to give peace in the earth? I tell you, no, but rather division.
52 Na kutandubhila nnaino, bhandunji nng'ano bha likaja limo bhapinga taukangana, bhatatu kwa bhabhili, na bhabhili kwa bhatatu.
For from now on, there will be five in one house divided, three against two, and two against three.
53 Ainamundu shibhantaushe mwanagwabho, na mwana shabhataushe ainagwe, anyinamundu shibhantaushe mwali jwabho, na jwalakwe mwali shabhataushe akwabhe, akwemundu shibhantaushe nkamwanagwabho na nkamwanamundu shabhataushe akwebhakwe.”
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."
54 A Yeshu gubhabhekete kabhili na lugwinjili, “Punkugabhonanga maunde galikoposhela kulititimila lyubha, shangupe nnabheleketanga, ‘Shijinye ula,’ na jinanya.
He said to the crowds also, "When you see a cloud rising from the west, immediately you say, 'A shower is coming,' and so it happens.
55 Nnjibhonangaga mbungo ja kwibhanda jinipuga, nnabheleketanga, ‘Kupingabhala lyubha,’ na pwikubha nneyo peyo.
When a south wind blows, you say, 'There will be a scorching heat,' and it happens.
56 Mmanganya mmagulumba! Nnamanyanga kulondola kunya kwa ula eu kubhala kwa lyubha, kwa lola shilambo na kunani, bhai kwa nndi nkakujimanyanga jene miongwe jino?
Hypocrites. You know how to interpret the appearance of the earth and the sky, but why do you not know how to interpret this time?
57 “Kwa nndi mwaashayene nkaamuanga kutenda ya aki?
Why do you not judge for yourselves what is right?
58 Monaga mmagongo nnjenu alikwenda kunshitakiya, mbaya kujuga kuleshelelwa nninginji mumpanda, nkupinga anampeleshe ku bhaukumula, na bhaukumula bhanakunkamuya kwa ashimanjola, na bhalakwe ashimanjola bhanakuntabha.
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.
59 Kweli ngunakummalanjila nkakopoka mwenemo, mpaka nnipe mmbiya ja malishiya.”
I tell you, you will by no means get out of there, until you have paid the very last penny."
