Luke 12 (GYZ) · Opened

1Yek mbala̱n wonti mogaa mal Yesu hal wonta̱t gwasa̱n laki yek sa̱ na̱ma za̱t asa̱n ten ji yilkeni, yek Yesu nde hwit ga̱ɓa ma̱n kopti jwasi yek ta̱ wulsi ɗe, <<Pa̱n ɗem'ɗem ba̱k shela̱n lal yisti Nya na̱k ga̱ ma̱n Paresi wu ka̱ da̱nti gwaka̱n so.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.

2Ilgon ni ga̱ hwuda̱li gwe ba̱ a yil deɓa̱l sowu so. Sogo ga̱ hwuda̱li ɗe ba̱ mbala̱n a yisi sowu so.There is nothing concealed that will not be disclosed, and nothing hidden that will not be made known.

3Ilgwe ka̱a̱ dla̱m ka̱ da̱mshal go a yil ten cilti. Ilgwe ka̱ dla̱m ga̱ hwuda̱li te punka ka̱go a kumi ten za̱nda̱l.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.

4<<A ni kii ma hwiti kii yela̱n jini, ba̱k ɓanti ma̱jwe a tloki wu, kaal ɗa̱ nugo a ba̱sa po man pa̱lti ilgon sowu so.I tell you, My friends, do not be afraid of those who kill the body and after that can do no more.

5Ama ba hwiki ma̱lgwe ka ɓantit wu, tik ɗe Nya ma̱lgwe kaal ɗa̱ tlot ga̱ tlisi ta man lakti gwaka̱n ka̱ boo wutu. Gem, ɓantiti.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!

6Ale yatl ɗe namtan wo kobo ɗe lop ka̱n asa̱ wul ka̱ nwa? Mas na̱ nu, Nya ma̱sa̱n gon gwasa̱n so.Are not five sparrows sold for two pennies? Yet not one of them is forgotten by God.

7Ma̱dla̱n gaa gwaka̱n mago ga̱ dla̱mi ka̱n ni mas. Ba̱ ɓanti cikii so, ka̱ ni hwaɓi man wonti yadli.And even the very hairs of your head are all numbered. So do not be afraid; you are worth more than many sparrows.

8<<A ni kii ma hwiti ɗe mas ma̱lgwe dla̱m ka̱ mbala̱n ɗe ta̱ yisa̱n go, ami Yen ga̱ Mbala̱n a yisti a cina ɗa̱ mil shinti ji Nya ka.I tell you, everyone who confesses Me before men, the Son of Man will also confess him before the angels of God.

9Ma̱lgwe nge yisti gi a cina ɗa mbala̱n ka̱go, ami mago ba nge yisti gwas a cina ɗa̱ mil shinti ji Nya ka.But whoever denies Me before men will be denied before the angels of God.

10Mas ma̱lgwe dla̱m ga̱ɓa mbulti ten ami Yen ga̱ Mbala̱n go sa taasit ka, ama ma̱lgwe dla̱m ga̱ɓa nget ga̱ Shishi ga̱ Nya go sa taasit ka̱ so.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<<Kume sa̱ ta̱lakii ka̱lu motgaa ga̱ gwasa̱n sogo mal guu ji ba̱n sogo mal kiɗi ma̱n ba̱n, ba̱ hwotkii ɗe nii ka̱n ka yilli gaa gwaka̱n suk ilgwe ka dla̱m wu soWhen you are brought before synagogues, rulers, and authorities, do not worry about how to defend yourselves or what to say.

12na̱k ɗe Shishi ga̱ Nya a ba̱lkii ilgwe ka dla̱m ka̱li wu.>>For at that time the Holy Spirit will teach you what you should say.”

13Yek ma̱lgon tet ka̱ mbala̱n wulti ɗe, <<Ma̱n lishti, hwi yilka gini ta̱s huulini ilgwe aba ga̱na̱n ma̱shi yek ta̱ zakini wu.>>Someone in the crowd said to Him, “Teacher, tell my brother to divide the inheritance with me.”

14Yek Yesu wulti ɗe, <<Ba mbala̱n, wok za̱n ɗe ma̱n huulti ga̱ɓa ka̱ tlo gwaka̱n wo?>>But Jesus replied, “Man, who appointed Me judge or executor between you?”

15Yek ta̱ wulti ɗe, <<Pa̱n ɗem'ɗem ba̱k za̱n mbadl gwaka̱n ten mot wul wonti so, na̱k ɗe yek ka laki a mbala̱n mbi mbadl sowu.>>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.”

16Yek ta̱ cinga̱lisi ga̱ɓa gon ɗe, <<Ma̱n wul ang gon ka̱n, zhin mbunit i'e.Then He told them a parable: “The ground of a certain rich man produced an abundance.

17Yek ta̱ daamti ka̱ mbadl gwas ɗe, <Nhu gwe ba wut wul zhin wu njika̱n ka̱wi.>So he thought to himself, ‘What shall I do, since I have nowhere to store my crops?’

18<<Yek ta̱ po wul ka̱ mbadl gwas ɗa̱ɗe, <Ilgwe ba pa̱li go, ba tatl nhu jin ka a kin kiɗi a wut mas wul zhin gini suk wul ji giɓi.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.

19A paa a wul gaa gi ɗe, <<Wul wonti nik ɗa gwe a ta̱lak gin wonti wu, shuk ilgon gwa, aka̱ ngusi kumti ta̱mti.>> >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!”’

20<<Yek Nya wulti ɗe, <Ki wo ka̱dla̱n ka̱n, ka̱ gas nge ka̱n ka ma̱shi, ta ɓo yen ma̱lgwe a nguk ilga̱n ɗe ka̱ mwe gaa gwa wu.> >>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?’

21Yek Yesu wuli ɗe, <<Nu ka̱n ani mal ma̱jwe mwe wul gaa gwasa̱n ten dii atli ama mal Nya wo ba̱ ilgon nisi ɗa̱ sowu.>>This is how it will be for anyone who stores up treasure for himself but is not rich toward God.”

22Yek Yesu hwi ma̱n kopti jwas ɗe, <<A ni kii ma hwiti, ba̱ ilga̱ nguki suk luka̱l gwe ka lak wu hwotkii so.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.

23Kangwe ka da̱n wu manikii ilga̱ nguki sa? A ba̱ tli gwaka̱n manikii luka̱l sa?For life is more than food, and the body more than clothes.

24Ɓo yena̱n yadli, ba̱sa ɓak zhin so a ba̱sa wotl so. A ba̱ nhu wutti ilga̱ nguki nisi ɗa̱ so, na̱k ɗe Nya ka̱ nisi ma ba̱lti ilga̱ nguki wu. Nya lamkii man kangwe ta lam yatl wu sa?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!

25Wok nii ka̱ kii ɗe ilgwe hwotti wu a mba̱lit multi ɗe na̱m dani wo?Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to his life?

26Kume ka̱a̱ mani pa̱lti nak mil wul gaa gwaka̱n nu sogo, yek laki yek ka̱a̱ na̱ma hwotti mbadl gwaka̱n ye?So if you cannot do such a small thing, why do you worry about the rest?

27<<Ɓo yena̱n mbuni buzha ka̱ me kangwe asa̱ nal wu, ba̱sa pa̱l ilgon so, a ba̱sa pa̱li luka̱l gaa gwasa̱n so. Ama ko ta̱ Sulemanu guu na̱ nalti gwas mago ta̱ ɓo taɓa kinti gwas mbuni nu so.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.

28Kii ɗe ba̱ za̱t mbadl gwaka̱n ten Nya nda̱l sowu, kume nu ka̱n Nya pa̱l buzha ka̱ me mbuni jwe ase go sa̱ ni ɗa ama ayo go asa̱ lak ka̱ wutu wu, a kii ka̱n ba̱ta ba̱lkii luka̱l gwe ka lak wu sa?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!

29Ba̱k za̱n mbadl gwaka̱n ten ilga̱ nguki suk ilga̱ tle so, mas ba̱ hwotkii so.And do not be concerned about what you will eat or drink. Do not worry about it.

30Mbala̱n ga̱ dii atl mas ɗe ba̱sa̱ yis Nya sowu na̱ma ngot wul jwisi, ama kii wo Aba gwaka̱n yisi ɗe ka̱ lami ta̱ wul jwisi ni kii ɗa̱.For the Gentiles of the world strive after all these things, and your Father knows that you need them.

31Dloka̱ma̱nkii ta̱k kama̱n Nya ɗe guu ka̱ mbadl gwaka̱n, Nya a ba̱lkii mas wul jwisi.But seek His kingdom, and these things will be added unto you.

32<<Ko ɗe ba̱ka̱a̱ wonti sogo, ba̱ ɓanti cikii so, na̱k ɗe bal Aba gwaka̱n pa̱l hwol tuk ɗe ta̱ telkii ka̱ boo gwas wu.Do not be afraid, little flock, for your Father is pleased to give you the kingdom.

33Wula̱n wul jwaka̱n ka aka̱a̱ ba̱l wulpi ma̱jwe ba̱ ilgon nisi ɗa̱ sowu. Za̱n wul jwaka̱n to nya ka, ka̱lu gwe ba̱ a lil ka̱ sowu, lu gwe muka̱l a mukli so, aba̱ da̱kmbi a lili ka̱ so.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.

34Lu gwe wul jwaka̱n ni go ka̱li ka̱n mbadl gwaka̱n ani pak.For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.

35<<Da̱ma̱n na̱ ka̱n gaa, ta̱ wutu yenti lu gwaka̱n cili,Be dressed for service and keep your lamps burning.

36na̱k zhel jwe na̱ma ɓa̱tti ga̱ baboo gwasa̱n ta̱s pal tet ka̱lu motgaa hapti wu. Ta̱ pal wugo ata̱ ɓwesi dlabi asa̱ ɓuliti ninge.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.

37Zhel ju a mbi hwa wul kume baboomi palli a ba̱sa ɓo nde yeba̱l sowu. A ni kii ma hwit gem ɗe, ta ndus bal luka̱l gwe ta̱ lak wu ka, ata̱ wulsi ɗe ta̱s da̱m atli ta̱s nguk wul, ata̱ kopsi gaa-gaa ata̱ ba̱lsi ilga̱ nguki.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.

38Zhel jo ma̱n mbit hwa wul ka̱n kume baboomi pal ka̱ tlo gas wu, sogo ka̱ bultlwe ata̱ mbisi ten ɓa̱tti gwas wu.Even if he comes in the second or third watch of the night and finds them alert, those servants will be blessed.

39Ama ta̱k yisi ɗe, kume baboo a yis tulti ga̱ muka̱l go, ta zakti asa̱ tet lubii asa̱ lilit wul ka̱ so.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.

40Kii mago, da̱ma̱n na̱ ka̱n gaa, na̱k ɗe ami Yen ga̱ Mbala̱n ba palli gas gwe ba̱ka̱ ɓo zi tulti gi sowu.>>You also must be ready, because the Son of Man will come at an hour you do not expect.”

41Yek Biturus wul Yesu ɗe, <<Bagaa, cinga̱lti ga̱ɓa ga̱n go ten mi na̱ ngwe na̱n ma, ko ten mas mbala̱n?>>“Lord,” said Peter, “are You addressing this parable to us, or to everyone else as well?”

42Yek Yesu wule, <<Wok ɗe ma̱n pa̱lti wul gibboo ga̱ baboo gwas ɗe ma̱n gem, ma̱n zok mbadli suk ma̱n ɓotlka̱n go? Ti ka̱n baboomi a zakit yenti lubii gwasi, ata̱ ba̱l zheli jon ju ilga̱ nguki na̱k gwe sa̱ zit pa̱lti wu.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?

43Zhel go ma̱n mbit zok wul ka̱n ɗe baboo gwas a pal tet ka̱lu gwe ta̱ li wu ata̱ mbit ten pa̱lti hwa wul nu wu.Blessed is that servant whose master finds him doing so when he returns.

44A ni kii hwiti gem ɗe, ta palli zhel wu ɗe bagaa ga̱ wul jwasi mas.Truly I tell you, he will put him in charge of all his possessions.

45Ama kume zhel wu wul ka̱ mbadl gwas ɗe, <Baboo gi pal ba̱le so,> yek ta̱ njel ɓot ji zheli jon ju na̱ modli na̱ maani, yek ta̱ njel tlati suk ngukti yek gaa ɓa gillit ka,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.

46baboo ga̱ zhel wu a palli gas gwe ba̱ta̱ yisi sowu. Baboomi a pa̱lit byas ɓoti ata̱ keshti ka ata̱ za̱t ndakce suk ma̱jwe ba̱ gem nisi ɗa̱ sowu.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<<Zhel gwe yis ilgwe baboo gwas lami yek ba̱ta̱ zi ka̱ mbadl gwas ɗe ta̱s pa̱li sogo, sa pa̱lit byas ɓoti.That servant who knows his master’s will but does not get ready or follow his instructions will be beaten with many blows.

48Ama ma̱lgwe ba̱ta̱ yis ilgwe baboo gwas lami sowu, yek ta̱ pa̱l wul ɓot go, njet ka̱n sa ɓoti. Mas ma̱lgwe sa̱ ba̱lti wul nal go, sa ngo wul nal malti. Ma̱lgwe sa̱ ba̱lti nal mani go, nu ka̱n sa ngwe malti.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<<Wutu ka̱n a tuli ta laki mbala̱n ten dii atli, lamti gi wo ta̱ wuti tlo.I have come to ignite a fire on the earth, and how I wish it were already kindled!

50Baptisma gwe sa pa̱li wu ni ɗa̱, a mbadl gi tli wi i'e ta̱s pa̱li ni.But I have a baptism to undergo, and how distressed I am until it is accomplished!

51Ka̱ da̱ma̱n gwa we ta̱mti ga̱ mbadl ka̱n a tullikii ten dii atli a? Ko njaa, a ni kii ma hwiti ɗe, huulti tlo ji yilkeni suk yilkeni ka̱n a tulli.Do you think that I have come to bring peace to the earth? No, I tell you, but division.

52Ndok ase, mbala̱n ɗe namtan ka̱ lubii a huul ɗe lop. Ɗe lop na̱ma nget ga̱ ɗe mekan, a ɗe mekan na̱ma nget ga̱ ɗe lop.From now on, five in one household will be divided, three against two and two against three.

53Tlo gwasa̱n a hwuli, aba na̱ma nget ga̱ yen, a yen na̱ma nget ga̱ aba. Ana na̱ma nget ga̱ yen gwas ga̱ ma̱dli, yeni mago ata̱ na̱ma nget ga̱ ana gwasi. Nkwe ga̱ ma̱dli na̱ma nget ga̱ kili ga̱ yen gwasi. A kili ga̱ yeni na̱ma nget ga̱ ana ga̱ kos gwasi.>>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.”

54Yek Yesu po wul mbala̱n ɗa̱ɗe, <<Kume ka̱a̱ yen nyaze tli tot wugo, aka̱a̱ wule ze a nda a zesi nda kuwa.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.

55Kume ka̱ kum yeta̱l ɓalma hotti tet go, aka̱ wule wutu cin a tuli, a wutu cinmi tul kuwa.And when the south wind blows, you say, ‘It will be hot,’ and it is.

56Ki ma̱n pa̱lti riya, ka̱ man yisti kangwe a wul pi ten dii atli suk to nya ka̱wu, ama yisti wul gwe na̱ma pa̱t ningo yek kanki gaa.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<<Yek laki a ba̱ka daamki ta̱k yisa̱n ilgwe mbun ɗe ta̱k pa̱li wu so ye?And why don’t you judge for yourselves what is right?

58Kume ma̱lgon mbet a dlaboo kisti ga̱ɓa wu, tloki ta̱k la̱ka̱n tlo gwa sukti ten tantu, kume ka̱ nge go, ta ta̱lak dlaboo mal ma̱n ndoka̱lti ga̱ɓa asa̱ telki ka̱lu gwe asa̱ le ma̱n pa̱lti byas wul wu.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.

59A nikma hwiti ɗe, ka yil ɗa̱ka̱ lwisi ka̱ so se ka̱ ɓatl ilgwe sa̱ mboshik wu mas.>>I tell you, you will not get out until you have paid the very last penny.”
