Luka 12
1 Msambi uvaha wa vandu wanga valangika, pavakonganiki na kutumbula kulivatilana. Yesu avajovili hoti vawuliwa vaki. “Mujiyangalila na ngemeku ya Vafalisayu ndi uhomela wavi.
During which time the myriads of the multitude having gathered together so as to trample each other, he began first to say to his disciples, Take heed to yourselves from the leaven of the Pharisees, which is hypocrisy.
2 Chindu chochoha chila chechigubikiwi yati chigubukuliwa na chochoha chechifiyiki yati chimanyikana.
But there is nothing covered up that will not be revealed, and hidden that will not be known.
3 Gala gamwajovili kuchitita, yati giyuwanika pepilangala, na chochoha chamwapwepi mumfiyu mugati kuni milyangu yidindanu, yati chikokoselewa pamulima woha.”
Therefore, as many things as ye have said in the darkness will be heard in the light, and what ye have spoken in the ear in the inner chambers will be proclaimed upon the housetops.
4 “Nikuvajovela, nyenye mwavankozi vangu, mkotoka kuvayogopa vala vevikoma higa, nambu nakuhotola kukita chindu chingi kangi.
And I say to you my friends, Be not afraid of those who kill the body, and after these things not having anything more severe to do.
5 Yati nivalangisa wa kuyogopewa, mumuyogopa Chapanga, akamala kukukoma, ihotola kumutaga mundu kumotu wa magono goha wangajimika. Nikuvajovela, mumuyogopa mwenuyo!” (Geenna g1067)
But I will show you whom ye should fear. Fear him, who, after killing, has power to cast into hell. Yes, I say to you, fear ye him. (Geenna g1067)
6 “Yimanyikini kuvya mayeluyelu mhanu ziguliswa kwa mashonga gadebe neju, nambu kawaka hata njasi yimonga yeyikosiwa na Chapanga.
Are not five sparrows sold for two copper coins? And not one of them is forgotten in the sight of God.
7 Hati umahele wa mayunju ga mitu yinu zimanyikini kwa Chapanga. Mukotoka kuyogopa, nyenye mwitopela neju kuliku mayeluyelu gamahele!”
But even the hairs of your head are all numbered. Fear not, therefore, ye are superior to many sparrows.
8 “Chakaka nikuvajovela, mundu yoyoha yula mwaakuniyidakila pavandu kuvya mwene ndi wangu, Mwana wa Mundu yati amuyidakila palongolo ya vamitumu va Chapanga kuvya mwenuyo mundu waki.
And I say to you, every man who will confess in me before men, the Son of man will also confess in him before the agents of God,
9 Nambu mundu yoyoha yula mwaakunibela pavandu, na Mwana wa Mundu mewawa yati akumbela palongolo ya vamitumu va Chapanga.”
but he who denies me in the presence of men will be denied in the presence of the agents of God.
10 “Yoyoha yula mweijova lilovi la kumubelelela Mwana wa Mundu, mwenuyo yati ilekekeswa, nambu mweamliga Mpungu Msopi, yati ivya nakulekekeswa.”
And every man who will speak a word against the Son of man, it will be forgiven him, but to him who blasphemed against the Holy Spirit it will not be forgiven.
11 “Pevakuvapeleka nyenye kwa makakala, munyumba za kukonganekela Vayawudi, amala vahamula mihalu, amala kwa vachilongosi lenili muhamuliwa mkotoka kuvya na wogohi yati myangula kyani amala yati mujova wuli.
And when they bring you to the synagogues, and the principle positions, and the offices of authority, be not anxious how or what ye should answer in defense, or what ye should say,
12 Muni lukumbi lulolo, Mpungu Msopi yati akuvawula gakujova.”
for the Holy Spirit will teach you in the same hour what ye ought to say.
13 Mundu mmonga mu msambi wa vandu akamjovela Yesu, “Muwula, mjovela mlongo wangu tigavana vindu vyetihalili kwa dadi witu.”
And a certain man out of the crowd said to him, Teacher, speak to my brother to divide the inheritance with me.
14 Yesu akamyangula, “Nkozi wangu, yani mweaniviki nene kuhamula mihalu pagati yinu amala kuvya mtepulanisa?”
But he said to him, Man, who appointed me a judge or an arbitrator over you?
15 Ndi, akavajovela voha, “Mujiyangalilayi na kuvya na mtima wa kugana vindu vyamahele, muni wumi wa mundu uvi lepi muvindu vyamahele vyeavi navyu.”
And he said to them, Watch, and keep away from greed, because to any man, life to him is not in the abundance of things possessed by him.
16 Kangi akavajovela luhumu ulu. Kwavi na mundu mmonga mweavi na vindu vyamahele, mgunda waki wapambiki mabenu gamahele.
And he spoke a parable to them, saying, The land of a certain rich man brought forth well.
17 Akaholalela mumtima waki na kujova. Hinu nikita wuli muni kawaka pandu pakuvika mabenu gangu?
And he pondered within himself, saying, What shall I do, because I have nowhere I will store my crops?
18 Ndi, yati nikita aga, yati nidenya chibana changu na kupamanda kangi vivaha na mwenumo yati nivika mabenu gangu goha pamonga na vindu vyangu.
And he said, I will do this. I will dismantle my barns, and I will build greater, and there I will store all my grain and my goods.
19 Kangi nikujijovela namwene, hinu uvinavyu vindu vyabwina vyeukuvigana mumiyaka yamahele ndi upumulilayi na ulyayi na unywayi na uheka!
And I will say to my soul, Soul, thou have many goods laid up for many years. Take thine ease, eat, drink, be merry.
20 Nambu Chapanga akamjovela, Uhimwiki veve, kilu ya lelu wumi waku yati utoliwa. Na vindu vyeujivikili yati vivya vya yani?
But God said to him, Thou foolish man, they demand thy soul from thee this night, and the things that thou prepared, whose will they be?
21 Yesu akamalisila kujova, “Chenichi ndi cheyivya mundu mweajivikili vindu vyamahele ndava yaki mwene, nambu palongola ya Chapanga ivya mngangu.”
So is he who stores up for himself, and is not being rich toward God.
22 Kangi Yesu akavajovela vawuliwa vaki, “Ndava ya genago, nikuvajovela, mkotoka kung'ahikila ndava ya chakulya chemugana muni mulamayi, amala nyula zemukuzigana ndava ya higa yinu.
And he said to his disciples, Because of this I say to you, be not anxious for your life, what ye may eat, nor for the body, what ye may wear.
23 Ndava muni wumi witopela kuliku chakulya, na higa yitopela kuliku nyula.
For the life is more than the food, and the body, the clothing.
24 Lola makungulu, gimija lepi, wala kubena na gangali chibana. Pamonga na genago, Chapanga agalisa chakulya. Hinu nyenye mwitopela kuliku videge!
Consider the ravens, because they do not sow, nor do they reap, for which there is no storehouse nor barn, and God feeds them. How much ye are worth more than the birds.
25 Yani mweavi pagati yinu kwa kujing'aha ihotola kujiyonjokesala hati ligono limonga la wumi waki?
And which of you by being anxious can add one cubit to his age?
26 Hinu ngati, nakuhotola kuhenga chindu chidebe ngati ichi, ya kyani kujing'aha na mambu gangi?
If then ye are not able to do even the least, why are ye anxious about the rest?
27 Mugalola maluva ga mdahi chegikula, nakuhenga lihengu wala giluka lepi nyula. Nambu nikuvajovela nkosi Solomoni pamonga na kuvya na vindu vyamahele, nambu avi lepi na nyula za kunyamba ngati liluva limonga.
Consider the lilies, how they grow. They toil not, nor do they spin, and I say to you, not even Solomon in all his glory was arrayed like one of these.
28 Hinu ngati Chapanga akuganyambisa manyahi ga kumgunda, lelu livili na chilau yaki giyochwa pamotu, wu, nakuhotola kuvawalika nyenye? Vandu mwemusadika padebe.”
And if God so clothes the grass in the field, which today is, and tomorrow being cast into the oven, how much more you, O ye of little faith?
29 “Na nyenye mkotoka kuhololela neju ndava ya kung'ahikila kuvya mwilya kyani amala mwinywa kyani.
And do not seek what ye may eat, and what ye may drink, and do not be unsettled.
30 Muni vandu vangasadika va milima yingi ya pamulima uwu, vavi mukung'ahika ndava ya genago. Nambu nyenye, Dadi winu avimanyili vindu vyoha vyemugana.
For the nations of the world seek all these things, and your Father knows that ye have need of these things.
31 Hinu, mun'gaikila kulonda hoti Unkosi wa Chapanga na genago yati mwipewa kwa kuyonjokeswa.”
However, seek ye the kingdom of God, and all these things will be added to you.
32 “Mukotoka kuyogopa nyenye msambi udebe, muni Dadi winu aganisiwi kuvapela Unkosi waki.
Fear not, little flock, because your Father is well pleased to give you the kingdom.
33 Mugulisa vindu vinu, na mashonga gene muvatangatila vangangu. Mujikitila chihaku cha mashonga changalala na kijivikila vindu vinu vyabwina kunani kwa Chapanga kwangapunguka. Kwenuko vahiji nakuhegelela, wala vingokoko na kuhalibisa.
Sell things possessed by you, and give charity. Make for yourselves purses not becoming old, a treasure unfailing in the heavens, where no thief approaches, nor moth corrupts.
34 Pechivi chibana chaku ndi maholo na luhala lwa mtima waku yati uvya penapo.”
For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.
35 “Mujitendekela na kuhengeka kuni, na hahi zinu ziyaka,
Let your loins be girded about, and the lights burning,
36 muvya ngati vavanda vavamulindila mkulu wavi mweihuma kundowa, vamudindulila mlyangu peihodesa.
and be ye like men waiting for their lord, when he may return from the wedding festivities, so that when he comes and knocks, they may straightaway open to him.
37 Vamotiswa vavanda vala bambu wavi peuwuya akuvakolela vakona mihu! Chakaka nikuvajovela, bambu yula yati ikunga mkungi muchiwunu na kuvajovela vatama pahi pandu pakulyelela na akavahengela.
Blessed are those bondmen whom the lord when he comes will find watching. Truly I say to you, that he will gird himself, and will cause them to sit down, and having come, will serve them.
38 Vamotisiwa vavanda vala, hati ngati bambu wavi peiwuya pagati ya kilu amala hati hambakucha na kuvakolela vakona mihu!
And if he should come in the second watch, and should come in the third watch, and find so, blessed are those bondmen.
39 Mumanyila lijambu lenili, ngati mkolo nyumba ngamanyili lukumbi lwa muhiji kubwela, ngaatamili mihu, ngaileki lepi nyumba yaki yidenyewayi.
But know this, that if the house-ruler had known in what hour the thief was coming, he would have watched, and would not have allowed his house to be broken into.
40 Mewawa na nyenye yikuvagana mujitendelekeha, ndava mwangalumanya lukumbi, Mwana wa Mundu peibwela.”
Therefore, ye also become ready, because the Son of man comes at that hour ye do not suppose.
41 Petili akamkota, “Bambu, luhumu ulu ukutijovela nga tete amala ukuvajovela vandu voha?”
And Peter said to him, Lord, did thou speak this parable to us, or also to all?
42 Bambu akayangula. Ndi, yani mweavi mtumisi mbwina na analuhala? Kangi bambu waki amuviki kuvayimalila vavanda vangi na kuvapela chakulya pa lukumbi lwaki.
And the Lord said, Who then is the faithful and wise manager whom his lord will appoint over his service to give the provision on time?
43 Asangaluka mtumisi yula, ngati mkulu waki peiwuyayi yati amkolela ikita chenicho.
Blessed is that bondman whom his lord when he comes will find so doing.
44 Chakaka nikuvajovela, mkulu mwenuyo yati amuvika mtumisi mwenuyo kuyimalila vindu vyaki vyoha.
Truly I say to you, that he will appoint him over the things being possessed by him.
45 Nambu muhengaji yula, ngati akujijovela mumtima waki, Mkulu wangu acheliwi kuwuya, ndi itumbula kuvatova vatumisi vayaki, vadala na vagosi, na kulya na kunywa na kugala,
But if that bondman should say in his heart, My lord is late to come, and should begin to beat the servant boys and the servant girls, and to eat and drink, and to be drunken,
46 Mkulu waki yati iwuya ligono na lukumbi lwanga manyikana, yati amudumula hipandi hipandi na kumuvika lilundu limonga la vangasadika.
the lord of that bondman will arrive in a day that he does not expect, and in an hour that he is not aware, and will cut him in two, and will place his portion with the unbelieving.
47 Mvanda mweamanyi gala geigana bambu waki, nambu ajitendelekili lepi kuhenga genago, bambu waki akumtova neju.
And that bondman who knew his lord's will, and who did not prepare, nor do according to his will, will be beaten much,
48 Nambu mvanda mweihenga chindu changamanya gala geigana bambu waki, mwenuyo yati itoviwa padebe. Muni yula mweapewili vyamahele, mwenuyo idayiwa vyamahele na yula mweagotoliwi vyamahele neju, yati idayiwa vyamahele neju.
but he who did not know, and did things worthy of blows, will be beaten little. And to every man to whom much was given, much will be required from him. And to whom they entrust much, they will ask him more abundantly.
49 “Nibweli kuleta motu pamulima, ndi kuvya uvya ngaumali kuyaka!”
I came to cast fire upon the earth, and what I desire is if it were kindled already.
50 Nambu nivinawu ubatizu weukunigana nibatiziwa, na nene nikuung'akila neju mbaka utimilayi!
But I have an immersion to be immersed, and how am I constrained until it will be accomplished.
51 Wu! Mwiholalela nibweli kuleta uteke pamulima? Hati padebe, lepi, utekee nambu mpechenganu.
Do ye suppose that I came to give peace on the earth? I tell you, no, but rather division.
52 Kutumbula hinu vandu mhanu va nyumba yimonga yati vipechengana upandi vadatu na upandi wungi vavili, na kangi upandi vavili na upandi wungi vadatu.
For henceforth there will be five in one house divided, three against two, and two against three.
53 Yati vipechengana dadi na msongolo waki, msongolo na dadi waki, mau na msikana waki, msikana na nyina waki, nayala na mkamwana waki, mkamwana na nayala waki.
A father will be divided against a son, and a son against a father, a mother against a daughter, and a daughter against a mother, a mother-in-law against her daughter-in-law, and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law.
54 Yesu akaujovela msambi wa vandu, “Pemukugawona mahundi gihumalila kwelitipama lilanga, bahapo mwijova, yati yitonya fula, na chakaka fula yitonya.
And he also said to the multitudes, When ye see a cloud rising from the west, straightaway ye say, A shower is coming, and so it happens.
55 Na pemwilola mpungu upuganisa kuhuma kuupandi wa kusini mujova, lelu yati livya lilanga, Chakaka kwivya na lilanga lachona.
And when a south wind is blowing, ye say, There will be heat, and it happens.
56 Vahomela nyenye! Mumanyili kulotela mambu ga lusenje, kwa kulola chekuvi lelu kwa kulola mulima na mahundi, ndava kyani mwihotola lepi kumanya mambu ga lusenje lwa hinu?”
Ye hypocrites, ye know how to examine the face of the earth and the sky, but how can ye not examine this season?
57 “Ndava kyani mwavene mwihotola lepi kuhagula mambu gabwina ga kukita?
And also why do ye not judge yourselves what is right?
58 Ngati mundu mweakutakili, akukupeleka palibanji la mihalu, mbanga mutepulana mwakona munjila muni akotoka kukupeleka kwa mhamula mihalu, namwene akugotola kwa manjolinjoli na vene vakusopa muchifungu.
For when thou go with thine opponent to the magistrate on the way give effort to be delivered from him, lest he may drag thee to the judge, and the judge may deliver thee to the officer, and the officer would cast thee into prison.
59 Chakaka yati wihuma lepi muchifungu, mbaka peumalakisa kulipa sendi ya lishonga la mwishu.”
I say to thee, thou will, no, not come out from there, until thou have paid even the last mite.
