Luke 12 (EKKPKP)

1Vahepeal oli kogunenud nii palju tuhandeid inimesi, et nad astusid üksteisele peale. Jeesus hakkas kõnelema esmalt oma jüngritele. „Hoidke end variseride juuretise − silmakirjalikkuse − eest.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.

2Sest pole midagi varjatut, mis ei saaks avalikuks, ega midagi salajast, millest ei saadaks teada.There is nothing concealed that will not be disclosed, and nothing hidden that will not be made known.

3Seda, mida olete pimedas öelnud, kuuldakse valges; mida olete salajas sosistanud, seda kuulutatakse katustelt.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.

4Ma ütlen teile, mu sõbrad, ärge kartke neid, kes ihu tapavad, sest kui nad on seda teinud, ei saa nad enam midagi rohkem teha.I tell you, My friends, do not be afraid of those who kill the body and after that can do no more.

5Lubage, et ma selgitan, keda te peaksite kartma. Te peaks kartma seda, kellel on võim teid pärast tapmist Gehennasse heita. Tema on see, keda peaksite kartma.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!

6Kas mitte viis varblast ei müüda kahe penni eest? Kuid Jumal ei unusta neist ühtki.Are not five sparrows sold for two pennies? Yet not one of them is forgotten by God.

7Isegi juuksekarvad teie peas on ära loetud. Ärge kartke, te olete rohkem väärt kui palju varblasi!And even the very hairs of your head are all numbered. So do not be afraid; you are worth more than many sparrows.

8Ma räägin teile tõtt: kes avalikult tunnistavad, et nad kuuluvad mulle, nende kohta tunnistab ka inimese Poeg Jumala inglite ees, et nad kuuluvad talle,I tell you, everyone who confesses Me before men, the Son of Man will also confess him before the angels of God.

9aga kes mind salgavad, neid salatakse Jumala inglite ees.But whoever denies Me before men will be denied before the angels of God.

10Igaühele, kes kõneleb inimese Poja vastu, antakse andeks, aga kes teotab Püha Vaimu, sellele ei anta andeks.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.

11Kui teid tuuakse kohtusse sünagoogide, ülemate ja valitsejate ette, siis ärge muretsege sellepärast, kuidas end kaitsta või mida peaksite ütlema.When you are brought before synagogues, rulers, and authorities, do not worry about how to defend yourselves or what to say.

12Püha Vaim õpetab teile sel hetkel, mida on oluline öelda.“For at that time the Holy Spirit will teach you what you should say.”

13Keegi rahva hulgast küsis Jeesuselt: „Õpetaja, palun ütle mu vennale, et ta jagaks minuga pärandust.“Someone in the crowd said to Him, “Teacher, tell my brother to divide the inheritance with me.”

14„Mu sõber,“ vastas Jeesus, „kes määras mind teie kohtumõistjaks otsustama, kuidas teie pärandus tuleks jagada?“ Ta ütles rahvaleBut Jesus replied, “Man, who appointed Me judge or executor between you?”

15„Olge valvel ja hoiduge kõigist ahnetest mõtetest ja tegudest, sest inimese elu ei olene asjadest, mida ta omab.“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.”

16Seejärel jutustas ta neile näitlikustamiseks ühe loo. „Elas kord üks rikas mees, kellel oli väga viljakas maa.Then He told them a parable: “The ground of a certain rich man produced an abundance.

17Mees arutles endamisi: „Mida ma peaksin tegema? Mul pole kusagil oma vilja hoida.So he thought to himself, ‘What shall I do, since I have nowhere to store my crops?’

18Ma tean, mida ma teen,“ otsustas ta. „Ma lõhun oma aidad maha ja ehitan suuremad aidad, siis on mul ruumi, kus hoida kogu oma vilja ja kõike, mis mul on.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.

19Siis ütlen endale: sul on piisavalt, et elada palju aastaid, nii et võta elu rahulikult: söö, joo ja tunne rõõmu!“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!”’

20Aga Jumal ütles talle: „Sina rumal mees! Selsamal ööl nõutakse su elu tagasi ja kes saab siis kõik selle, mida sa oled varunud?“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?’

21Nii juhtub inimestega, kes kuhjavad endale vara, kuid ei ole rikkad Jumalas.“This is how it will be for anyone who stores up treasure for himself but is not rich toward God.”

22Jeesus rääkis oma jüngritele: „Sellepärast ma ütlen teile, et ärge muretsege oma elu pärast, mida süüa, ega oma rõivaste pärast, mida kanda.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.

23Elu on palju enam kui toit ja ihu enam kui rõivaste kandmine.For life is more than food, and the body more than clothes.

24Vaadake ronki. Nad ei külva ega lõika, neil ei ole ladu ega aita, kuid Jumal toidab neid. Ja teie olete palju väärtuslikumad kui linnud!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!

25Kas suudate elu pärast muretsemisega lisada oma elule tunnigi?Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to his life?

26Kui te ei suuda nii väikest asja, miks siis ülejäänu pärast muretseda?So if you cannot do such a small thing, why do you worry about the rest?

27Mõelge liiliatele ja sellele, kuidas nad kasvavad. Nad ei tööta ega ketra lõnga rõivaste jaoks, aga ma ütlen teile, et isegi Saalomon kogu oma hiilguses ei olnud nii kaunilt riietatud kui üks neist.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.

28Nii et kui Jumal rüütab väljad nii kaunite lilledega, mis täna on siin, aga homme kadunud, kui nad põletatakse tules, et ahju kütta, kui palju enam riietab Jumal teid, kellel on nii vähe usku!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!

29Ärge olge mures sellepärast, mida te sööte või joote − ärge muretsege sellepärast.And do not be concerned about what you will eat or drink. Do not worry about it.

30Kõigi nende asjade pärast muretsevad inimesed maailmas, kuid teie Isa teab, et te neid vajate.For the Gentiles of the world strive after all these things, and your Father knows that you need them.

31Otsige Jumala riiki ja teile antakse ka kõike seda.But seek His kingdom, and these things will be added unto you.

32Ära karda, väike kari, sest teie Isa annab teile hea meelega kuningriigi.Do not be afraid, little flock, for your Father is pleased to give you the kingdom.

33Müüge ära, mis teil on, ja andke raha vaestele. Hankige endale kukrud, mis ei kulu, aare taevas, mis ei saa iial otsa, kus varas ei saa seda varastada ega koi hävitada.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.

34Sest see, mida te väärtuslikuks peate, näitab, kes te tegelikult olete.For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.

35Olge riietatud ja valmis ning hoidke lambid põlemas,Be dressed for service and keep your lamps burning.

36nagu oma isandat pulma pidusöögilt tagasi ootavad sulased, kes on valmis ukse nobedalt avama, kui isand tuleb ja koputab.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.

37Nende sulaste jaoks on hea, kui isand leiab nad valvamas, kui tagasi tuleb. Ma räägin teile tõtt: ta paneb riidesse, laseb neil söögilauda istuda ning tuleb ja teenib neid ise!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.

38Isegi kui ta tuleb keskööl või vahetult enne koitu − kui hea on see sulaste jaoks, kui isand leiab, et nad valvavad ja on valmis!Even if he comes in the second or third watch of the night and finds them alert, those servants will be blessed.

39Aga pidage meeles seda: kui isand teaks, millal varas tuleb, siis oleks ta valvel ega laseks oma majja sisse murda.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.

40Ka teie peate valmis olema, sest inimese Poeg tuleb siis, kui te ei oska arvatagi.“You also must be ready, because the Son of Man will come at an hour you do not expect.”

41„Kas sa räägid selle loo ainult meile või kõigile?“ küsis Peetrus.“Lord,” said Peter, “are You addressing this parable to us, or to everyone else as well?”

42Issand vastas: „Kes on siis usaldusväärne ja arukas kojaülem, see inimene majapidamises, kelle isand paneb vastutama õigel ajal toidu väljajagamise eest?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?

43Selle sulase jaoks on hea, kui isand tagasi tulles leiab, et ta teeb seda, mida peab.Blessed is that servant whose master finds him doing so when he returns.

44Ma räägin teile tõtt: isand paneb selle sulase kõige eest vastutama.Truly I tell you, he will put him in charge of all his possessions.

45Aga mis siis, kui see sulane ütleks endamisi: „Mu isandal läheb tulemisega kaua aega,“ ning ta hakkaks teisi sulaseid ja teenijatüdrukuid peksma, pidutsema ja purjutama?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.

46Selle sulase isand tuleks ootamatult ühel päeval tagasi, ajal, mil ta ei oota, ning karistaks teda rängalt, koheldes teda nagu täielikult ebausaldusväärset.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.

47See sulane, kes teadis, mida tema isand tahab, ja ometi ei olnud valmis ega järginud isanda juhiseid, saab kõvasti peksa;That servant who knows his master’s will but does not get ready or follow his instructions will be beaten with many blows.

48aga sulane, kes ei teadnud ja tegi karistust väärt asju, saab ainult vähe peksa. Kellele on antud palju, sellelt ka oodatakse palju, ja kellele on usaldatud rohkem, sellelt nõutakse rohkem.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.

49Ma olen tulnud maad süütama ja ma tõesti soovin, et see juba põleks!I have come to ignite a fire on the earth, and how I wish it were already kindled!

50Aga ma pean minema läbi ristimise, ma olen ahastuses ja soovin, et see oleks läbi!But I have a baptism to undergo, and how distressed I am until it is accomplished!

51Kas te arvate, et ma tulin maa peale rahu tooma? Ei, ma ütlen teile, ma toon lahkmeelt.Do you think that I have come to bring peace to the earth? No, I tell you, but division.

52Nüüdsest peale on nii, et kui peres on viis liiget, on nad lahkarvamusel: kolm on kahe vastu ja kaks kolme vastu.From now on, five in one household will be divided, three against two and two against three.

53Nad kõik on üksteise vastu − isa poja vastu ja poeg isa vastu, ema tütre vastu ja tütar ema vastu, ämm minia vastu ja minia ämma vastu.“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.”

54Siis kõneles Jeesus rahvale. „Kui te näete läänest pilve tõusmas, ütlete te kohe: „Vihmasadu on tulemas,“ ja nii toimub.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.

55Kui puhub lõunatuul, ütlete te: „Läheb palavaks,“ ja nii on.And when the south wind blows, you say, ‘It will be hot,’ and it is.

56Te silmakirjatsejad, kuidas see nii on, et te oskate õigesti tõlgendada ilma, kuid te ei oska tõlgendada praegust aega?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?

57Miks te oma peaga ei mõtle ega otsusta, mida on õige teha?And why don’t you judge for yourselves what is right?

58Kui lähete koos oma süüdistajaga kohtuniku juurde, siis peaksite teel olles püüdma lahendust leida. Muidu veetakse teid kohtu ette ja kohtunik annab teid ametniku kätte ja ametnik heidab teid vanglasse.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.

59Ma ütlen teile, te ei pääse enne välja, kui olete oma viimase penni ära maksnud.“I tell you, you will not get out until you have paid the very last penny.”
