Luke 12 (BOU) · Opened

1Kisingi icho zumwezumwe khuu muno da wantu wekuwao wakintana hata wakawa wajatana, Yesu akavoka kutamwiiya na wahina wakwe akawamba, “Ekauweni na ugwadu wa Mafalisayo yani ubakha wao.In the meantime, a crowd of many thousands had gathered, so that they were trampling one another. Jesus began to speak first to His disciples: “Beware of the leaven of the Pharisees, which is hypocrisy.

2Chochose chekugubikwacho chendakigubulwe, na chochose chekufiswacho chendakimanyike.”There is nothing concealed that will not be disclosed, and nothing hidden that will not be made known.

3Kwa iyo kia mwekugombedo mwe kiza, wantu wendawasikie mwe mweenje, na kia mwekupokosado mwe magutwi yenu mkawa mwe vyumba vya khandani, yenda ibiikiwe uwanga ya chusi.What you have spoken in the dark will be heard in the daylight, and what you have whispered in the inner rooms will be proclaimed from the housetops.

4Nawagombekeni nywinywi wambuya wangu, mwese kuwaogoha wada waukomao mwii, na khawadaha kugosoa kintu kituhu.I tell you, My friends, do not be afraid of those who kill the body and after that can do no more.

5Naho nendaniwambie nndai wa kuogohwa. Muogoheni yuda ambae akabinda kuukoma mwii ana udaho wa kuuwasa mwe moto da tubwi diwakado moto wesao kukomeka. Eehe, nawamba muogoeni uyo.But I will show you whom you should fear: Fear the One who, after you have been killed, has authority to throw you into hell. Yes, I tell you, fear Him!

6Mwamanya kuwa machole washano watagwa kwa senti mbii? Akini hemeso ya Muungu khajaika ata yumwe.Are not five sparrows sold for two pennies? Yet not one of them is forgotten by God.

7Naho ata fii za mitwi yenu zitaaziwa zose. Msekuogoha, kwaviya nywinywi mwafaa muno kusima machole wangi.And even the very hairs of your head are all numbered. So do not be afraid; you are worth more than many sparrows.

8Nami nawamba yoyose anizumiaye hemeso ya wantu Mwana wa Mntu naye endaamzumiiye he meso ya wandima wa uko uwanga kwa Muungu.I tell you, everyone who confesses Me before men, the Son of Man will also confess him before the angels of God.

9Na mntu yoyose aniemeaye he meso ya wantu, naye Mwana wa mntu endaamuemee hemeso ya wandima wa uko uwanga kwa Muungu.But whoever denies Me before men will be denied before the angels of God.

10“Mntu yoyose agombekaye mbui ya kumuemea Mwana wa Mntu Muungu endaamuekee, akini endayeaudumuwe Muye wa Muungu khana uyo Muungu khanaamuekee mavigaviga.”And everyone who speaks a word against the Son of Man will be forgiven, but whoever blasphemes against the Holy Spirit will not be forgiven.

11“Hada wendaho wawaguiye na kumyengiza nywinywi hemeso ya Nyumba ya kukintania Wayahudi na hemeso ya wenye udaho na wagookezi, msekuwa na maatumaatu uwanga ya mwondavyo kwevunia hambu mwondavyo mtamwiiye.When you are brought before synagogues, rulers, and authorities, do not worry about how to defend yourselves or what to say.

12Kwaviya Muye wa Muungu endaawahinye kiya mkundigwacho kugombeka.”For at that time the Holy Spirit will teach you what you should say.”

13Naho mntu yumwe mwe diya zumwezumwe da wantu akamwamba, “Mhinyi, mgombeke ndugu yangu tipangane upazi ekutibadiao tate.”Someone in the crowd said to Him, “Teacher, tell my brother to divide the inheritance with me.”

14Yesu akamtambaisa, “Mmbuya, nndai ekuniikaye miye kuwa muamuia na mpangi gatigati yenu?”But Jesus replied, “Man, who appointed Me judge or executor between you?”

15Naho Yesu akawamba wose, “Ekauweni na kia mbai ya khwiina ya vintu vingi kwa mana ugima wa mntu khaukauwia wingi wa vintu ekuwavyo navyo.”And He said to them, “Watch out! Guard yourselves against every form of greed, for one’s life does not consist in the abundance of his possessions.”

16Naho akawamba msimo unu, “Nekuwa na mntu yumwe mwenye vitu vingi ambae mnda wakwe uvyaa ubosi mwingi.Then He told them a parable: “The ground of a certain rich man produced an abundance.

17Mntu uyo mwenye vintu vingi akamamakhanya mwe moyo wakwe, ‘Nami khina hantu ha kuika ubosi wangu, nndanitende viihii?So he thought to himself, ‘What shall I do, since I have nowhere to store my crops?’

18Ekegombekea, nndanigosoe ivi, nndaniditue idi taa dangu nakuzenga tuhu kuu muno, namiye nndaniike umo khande zangu hamwe na vintu vyangu vyose.Then he said, ‘This is what I will do: I will tear down my barns and will build bigger ones, and there I will store up all my grain and my goods.

19Aho nee nendaho nidahe na kuwamba muye wangu, isasa una vintu vingi wendavyo uvitumie kwa myaka mingi. Humwiiza, na daa khande, na domeea na uwe na nyemi.’Then I will say to myself, “You have plenty of good things laid up for many years. Take it easy. Eat, drink, and be merry!”’

20Akini Muungu akamwamba, ‘Wee mhezi! Ivyeo na kiyo muye wako wendaudoigwe. Na vintu viya vyose wekuviikavyo vindaviwe vya ndai?’ ”But God said to him, ‘You fool! This very night your life will be required of you. Then who will own what you have accumulated?’

21Yesu akabinda kwa kugombeka, “Nee vyeivyo kwa mntu yoyose ememezeae vintu kwaajii yakwe, akini khio mntu mwenye vintu vingi hemeso ya Muungu.”This is how it will be for anyone who stores up treasure for himself but is not rich toward God.”

22Naho Yesu akawamba wahina wakwe, “Msekuwa na maatumatu uwanga ya khande mwiikundayo ili mwe na ugima, wala uwanga ya magwanda myakundayo kwaajii ya mii yenu.Then Jesus said to His disciples, “Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat, or about your body, what you will wear.

23Kwaajii ugima ni yedi kusima khande, na mwii ni wedi kusima magwanda.For life is more than food, and the body more than clothes.

24Wamamakhanyeni kunguu wowo khawahanda wala kawabonda na khawana taa, wala hohose hakuika khande zao akini Muungu awekha khande. Akini nywinywi ni wedi kusima wadege.Consider the ravens: They do not sow or reap, they have no storehouse or barn; yet God feeds them. How much more valuable you are than the birds!

25Nndai yumwe wenu ambae kwa kwepisha adaha kweongezea ugima wakwe hata kwa saa dimwe?Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to his life?

26Naho inga khamdaha kugosoa mbui ndodo inga iyo, kwa mbwai kuwa na maatumatu uwanga ya yada matuhu?So if you cannot do such a small thing, why do you worry about the rest?

27Kauwani mauwa yasukhavyo khayagosoa ndima wala khayasuka. Akini nawamba, hata seuta Seemani he vintu vyakwe vyose khekuwahi kuvaa magwanda matana inga uwa dimwe aho.Consider how the lilies grow: They do not labor or spin. Yet I tell you, not even Solomon in all his glory was adorned like one of these.

28Inga Muungu ayavika ivi mani ya mwe minda ambayo ivyeo yaaho kioi yasigwa mwe moto, ivi nywinywi khana awavike vyedi muno enyi wenye uzumizi mdodo?”If that is how God clothes the grass of the field, which is here today and tomorrow is thrown into the furnace, how much more will He clothe you, O you of little faith!

29“Wala msekwepisha mwe mioyo yenu mwenda mde mbwai hambu mwenda mdomee mbwai msekuwa na maatumatu kuusu mbui iyo.And do not be concerned about what you will eat or drink. Do not worry about it.

30Wantu wesaokuwa Wayahudi wa inusi waangadikia vintu ivyo. Akini Tati yenu wa uwanga kwa Muungu amanya kuwa mwakunda vintu ivyo.For the Gentiles of the world strive after all these things, and your Father knows that you need them.

31Isasa uwangadikieni Useuta wa Muungu, na vintu ivyo vyose navyo mwenda mwekhigwe.”But seek His kingdom, and these things will be added unto you.

32Msekuogoha, nywinywi zumwezumwe dodo, kwaviya Tati yenu katamiwa kuwekha Useuta.Do not be afraid, little flock, for your Father is pleased to give you the kingdom.

33Tageni vintu vyenu mkawekhe wakiwa izo hea. Mwegosoee vifuko vya hea vyesayokusakaa, na uko nee kuika kiikizo uwanga kwa Muungu ambaho taa dakwe khadihungua, uko wabavi khawabua na wala mswa khawabananga.Sell your possessions and give to the poor. Provide yourselves with purses that will not wear out, an inexhaustible treasure in heaven, where no thief approaches and no moth destroys.

34Hada enaho kiikizo chako, nee endaho uwe aho moyo wako.For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.

35“Ekaani tayali kwa kunigosoeya na taa zenu ziwe zaka.Be dressed for service and keep your lamps burning.

36Inga wandima wamgojao zumbe yao auye kulawa kwe ntafuno ya ndoza. Na ezaho na kukonta uvi wadahe kumvuguiya maa mwenga.Then you will be like servants waiting for their master to return from the wedding banquet, so that when he comes and knocks, they can open the door for him at once.

37Wajaiwa wada wandima ambao zumbe yao endaawabwiiye wameso endahoeze. Kwei, nawamba endaeike tayali na kuwetanga mwe ude na kuwegosoeya ndima.Blessed are those servants whom the master finds on watch when he returns. Truly I tell you, he will dress himself to serve and will have them recline at the table, and he himself will come and wait on them.

38Wajaiwa kwa wandima awo mkuu yao endahoeze na kuwabwiiya wacheeza hata akeza kio kikuu, hambu hehi na kucha.Even if he comes in the second or third watch of the night and finds them alert, those servants will be blessed.

39Manyeni kuwa inga mwenye nyumba ati nee kamanya saa ambayo mbavi endaeze, nee kawa meso ili amkindie mbavi, na khekuwa aibadie nyumba yakwe itulwe.But understand this: If the homeowner had known at what hour the thief was coming, he would not have let his house be broken into.

40Nywie nanywi mwakundigwa mwekae tayali saa zose, kwaviya Mwana wa Mntu enda eze saa ambayo khamuimanya.”You also must be ready, because the Son of Man will come at an hour you do not expect.”

41Petulo akamwamba, “Zumbe, msimo uwo watambia swiswi, hambu wawamba wantu wose?”“Lord,” said Peter, “are You addressing this parable to us, or to everyone else as well?”

42Zumbe akamtambaisa, “Nindai, mndima mzumiiwa na mwenye umanyi, ambae Zumbe wakwe endaamwiike uwanga ya wandima wakwe awekhe khande kisingi kifaacho.And the Lord answered, “Who then is the faithful and wise manager, whom the master puts in charge of his servants to give them their portion at the proper time?

43Kajaiwa mndima uyo, hada zumbe wakwe endaho auye nakumbwiiya atenda ivyo.Blessed is that servant whose master finds him doing so when he returns.

44Nawamba kwei kuwa endaamwekhe ugookezi wa vintu vyakwe vyose.Truly I tell you, he will put him in charge of all his possessions.

45Akini inga mndima uyo akegombeka mwenye mwe moyo wakwe zumbe yangu kawa kacheewa muno kuuya, naho akavoka kuwatoa wandima wa wakivyee hambu wakigosi wada wenziwe, viyaviya endaade na kudomeea na kukolwa,But suppose that servant says in his heart, ‘My master will be a long time in coming,’ and he begins to beat the menservants and maidservants, and to eat and drink and get drunk.

46zumbe wakwe yuda mndima endaauye msi esao kukauwia na mda esao kuumanya. Endaamwekhe sugusa mndima uyo ya ufyaimi na kumwiika hamwe na wantu wesaokuzumiiya.”The master of that servant will come on a day he does not expect and at an hour he does not anticipate. Then he will cut him to pieces and assign him a place with the unbelievers.

47“Yuda mndima amanyaye vitana akundacho zumbe wakwe, akini khayuho tayali wala kugosoa yakundigwayo mkuu wakwe endaatoigwe muno.That servant who knows his master’s will but does not get ready or follow his instructions will be beaten with many blows.

48Akini mndima yuda mwesekumanya mkuu yakwe akunda mbwai akagosoa ya ufyaimi, uyo endaatoigwe kidodo. Yoyose yuda mwekhekigwa kugosoa ndima khuu, endaakundigwe kulavya vingi muno.”But the one who unknowingly does things worthy of punishment will be beaten with few blows. From everyone who has been given much, much will be required; and from him who has been entrusted with much, even more will be demanded.

49“Ncheza kueta moto mwe inusi, natamiwa inga uwe tayali ugimbwa!”I have come to ignite a fire on the earth, and how I wish it were already kindled!

50Akini nenao ubatiizo ambao nlazima nibatiizwe, suuba yangu ni khuu hadi ubatiizo uwiganie.But I have a baptism to undergo, and how distressed I am until it is accomplished!

51Mwamamakhanya ncheza kueta uivanisa mwe inusi? Nawamba khivyo, ncheza kueta mabadano.Do you think that I have come to bring peace to the earth? No, I tell you, but division.

52Kuvokea isasa, kundakuwe na wantu wa kaya mwenga washano, watatu kwa waidi na waidi kwa watatu.From now on, five in one household will be divided, three against two and two against three.

53Tate khanaevane na wanawe wa kigosi, na wana wa kigosi khawanawevane na tati yao, na mmaa khanaevane na wanawe wa kivyee, wana wa kivyee khawanawevane na mami yao, naye mame vyaa khanaevane na mkaza mwana, nae mkaza mwana khanaevane na mami yakwe vyaa.They will be divided, father against son and son against father, mother against daughter and daughter against mother, mother-in-law against daughter-in-law and daughter-in-law against mother-in-law.”

54Yesu akagombeka vituhu mwe dia zumwezumwe da wantu, “Muonaho mazunde yakalawiiya phande ya engiiyo da zuwa, aho mwagombeka, fua indainye na kwei yanya.”Then Jesus said to the crowds, “As soon as you see a cloud rising in the west, you say, ‘A shower is coming,’ and that is what happens.

55Muonaho pheho ya khusi yavuma, mwagombeka, “Kunda kuwe na zuguto, na vyawa ivyo.And when the south wind blows, you say, ‘It will be hot,’ and it is.

56Enywi wabakha! Mwamanya koona msimu kwa kukauwa inusi na uwanga kwa Muungu vyeivyo. Kwa mbwai, khamdaha kusosoa mana ya mbui zigosokazo isasa?You hypocrites! You know how to interpret the appearance of the earth and sky. Why don’t you know how to interpret the present time?

57“Na kwambwai khamdaha kweamuiya wenye mbui yedi za kugosoa?And why don’t you judge for yourselves what is right?

58Kwaviya inga mmasa wako akakwegaa he mkonga, yedi wevane nae mkesiai ili asekweza kukwegaa hemeso ya mntu muamuwa, na uyo muamuwa akakwekhiiza kwa asikai, nawo wakakugea mwe kifungo.Make every effort to reconcile with your adversary while you are on your way to the magistrate. Otherwise, he may drag you off to the judge, and the judge may hand you over to the officer, and the officer may throw you into prison.

59Nakwamba Kwei khunaulawe umo, hadi wendaho ubindiize kuihaa senti ya kisiikizi.”I tell you, you will not get out until you have paid the very last penny.”
