Luke 12 (HRU) · Opened

1Aña a sese hadzaĝ-hadzaĝ dzaw nüna fuguñe, aña ana kuw naĝütchü tcheĝi-lügyeĝi da, se i uvromashü í shürhaw ná che, “Farisi nago loĝãloĝe yo üĝa ĝyojodawe.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.

2Vyojo haje dümyoñe maveme, madanghujo haje müŝüñe maveme.There is nothing concealed that will not be disclosed, and nothing hidden that will not be made known.

3Sündada ba ha damje nukuĝuw ge chedo ye, se i müsaw ge dzühujome; seyo ñeĝüñ ulung ge ufu ge ha aŝesa yo chedama, se ye ñelütsü udru go yo trujome.”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“Séŝo no djo trungkoime, nodraw nawa, dju usso i shifidama se na seyo ha madamñefijomme, ná djuĝejo dawe.I tell you, My friends, do not be afraid of those who kill the body and after that can do no more.

5No djo trumchemjome djo djú ĝejoma, dzüwñe djú chigüje ge lañe djoafima, se í ĝejo dawe; no djo trupangkoitchoimme, se í ĝejodabuwe.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!

6Hawa ajolya ksü yo sülyisa pom madrüafima? Sedamje Tawgyew i namko ye a ye je makoŝoa.Are not five sparrows sold for two pennies? Yet not one of them is forgotten by God.

7Bakye go vyow ükyetrü duw naje ngümdzo vedame, sündada: djuĝejo dawe, ba sülyisa na dafowme.And even the very hairs of your head are all numbered. So do not be afraid; you are worth more than many sparrows.

8“No djo chengkoime djudamje no nüna navro ge nó noŝobiñe danghumeje na je nüna üsaw ye je Tawgyew i sorgomuko uvro ge ẽŝobijome.I tell you, everyone who confesses Me before men, the Son of Man will also confess him before the angels of God.

9Séŝo dju nüna navro ge no hopseĝiahima ije Tawgyew í sorgomuko uvro ye hopseĝiajome.”But whoever denies Me before men will be denied before the angels of God.

10“Dju nüna üsaw ütüma mauw truima, i datrudaw í muchoaijome. Séŝo dju ĝulo güdraw ütüma mauw trüima, í datruw í mamuchoijomme.”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“Nüna na ba mügaw-ñegru seyo mükyew seyo damikyew navro lakuwñe, ba navro ge ha chemeje ujojema seyo küna chejojema se na djuvengüajodawe.When you are brought before synagogues, rulers, and authorities, do not worry about how to defend yourselves or what to say.

12Hado chemeje ĝulo güdraw ba sayo sa a ha chejome zedrüjome.”For at that time the Holy Spirit will teach you what you should say.”

13Seyo upu go nüna a ye í che, “He dadrüwa, noñuw í awu í bo-luko ná noje hawe chejodawe.”Someone in the crowd said to Him, “Teacher, tell my brother to divide the inheritance with me.”

14I í che, “Nüna nawa, nó dju niyay djüw seyo baĝüĝiw nüna boña?”But Jesus replied, “Man, who appointed Me judge or executor between you?”

15Sünda i í che, “Uw yo ho ĝyojodawe, seyo tsaĝa-laĝaw süna yo basü ĝyojodawe; hado chemeje nüna na shüw ye dju bo-luko duw yo mashüwme.”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.”

16I í zeĝaw a tru, “Tümbum nugo a í no ge rhamu ŝüpo kakülye.Then He told them a parable: “The ground of a certain rich man produced an abundance.

17Sündawñe i ulvyu ge no hadajojemmañe ve, hado chemeje nochi ge bo no dakülyedaw rhamu na vejo buĝo je ñi.So he thought to himself, ‘What shall I do, since I have nowhere to store my crops?’

18Sünda i che, ‘no ana dajobabi: no nó ñetchü í tashalyeñe dyew dalajo; sünda no rhamu seyo bo-luko na vyow süge vejo;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.

19sünda no ĝulo i chejo, ĝuloa, bachi ge oje ŝüpo üĝalaw kuw bo-luko vewme; ĝyogowe, tsawe, tuwe seyo lüshüw yo ĝyowe.’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!”’

20Seŝo Tawgyew i í che, ‘Chi madnaghuw nüna! He ñegimdo ñegi a ba lutuw ye lutukyoadügyejomme; sündawñe ba küña dashütrüñe vedama, se ye djuchi lyajowa?’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?’

21Ana je nüna duwme dju nudzo ubo bo-luko dashütrüñe ve, sé i Tawgyew iñigzü ge nugo mo.”This is how it will be for anyone who stores up treasure for himself but is not rich toward God.”

22Sünda i í shürhaw ná che, “Sündada no djo trungkoime, nudzo shüjo-dujo ubo djuvewe, no ha tsajojemañe; seyo nudzo usso ubo je ha gye-ĝuvo shejojemañe.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.

23Hado chemeje tsaw-tuw í shüw ye, seyo gye-ĝuvo í dyewfo usso yeme.For life is more than food, and the body more than clothes.

24Pülĝam na hojodawe; na zuje mazuw seyo ñetchü ge rhamu je mapaw; sedamje Tawgyew i ná tsakyewŝo. Bá musu na fow go añe dufowme.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!

25Djomko ye dju duwa, dju vengaw yo nudzo i shüngkoi ge ganta a ña damje shafijo ye?Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to his life?

26Sündada ba imisa fo chiĝa íje madafimeje, hado utro ñu ná lañe vemyoñña?So if you cannot do such a small thing, why do you worry about the rest?

27Bye go shoba ná hojo dawe, na kündañe shülyima; na chiĝa je madaw chitra je madaw; sedamje no djo chengkoime, Suleman je í küña übadzü gidama, namko ye ana veduw gañ a je magime.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.

28Sündada Tawgyew i no go suso-mütchü namaje yow gye sheida sünda draha ná boti shüw ge joañe, anambo gye-ĝuvo sheñe veihume; Tawgyew ge mesame veksüw nawa, djo künadañe añe masheijowa?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!

29Sünda djo ha tsajojema ha tujojema süna ve djuĝyowe, sünda meaje mavemyow djudajodawe.And do not be concerned about what you will eat or drink. Do not worry about it.

30Hado chemeje he druguw-drulyiw ayo go vyow tuĝu-tumo na he ana veduw bostu na tchünggudruwme sünda ba Awu danghudame djo he bostu na ŝüpo tsüda cheñe.For the Gentiles of the world strive after all these things, and your Father knows that you need them.

31Séŝo ichi ĝadzü i tchüjodawe, sündameje, he bostu naje pajome.But seek His kingdom, and these things will be added unto you.

32“Nüna imisa nawa, djuĝejodawe; hado chemeje ba awu i bá ĝadzü paweñe vedame.Do not be afraid, little flock, for your Father is pleased to give you the kingdom.

33Nudzo ichi fuñ-voñ na draalyeñe tunoajodawe; sündalye nudzo ubo ana dalajodawe, ha ye üme malyajoma, sünda soĝgo ge ana bo-luko dashütrülajo dawe ha ye makaajoma, djutrü iñisa ge tsaksutchüw naje majikujo seyo bulu naje mauw madajo.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.

34Hado chemeje hange bachi bo-luko duma, badrü-balu he süge dujome.For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.

35“Djotsü na pyogo vejo dawe, seyo dju mütrü na dzodügyejo dawe.Be dressed for service and keep your lamps burning.

36Sünda djo se kulo na veduw dajo dawe, dju nudzo dadrü í gzü jiw go ke kakujojemañe ĝyokrü ĝyow veduw; i kakuñe ñegüdrüŝü düwñe mekutcho djeñe voa.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.

37Gaĝüzewe se kulo í, djú dadrüw ye kakuñe madrumuvow hohudama; no djo umso trungkoime, i ütsü ge pyogolañe ava tsajoñe ĝyojo, sünda üñisa jiñe í hoijo.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.

38I ñegi ge ülye ksü seyo ülye dzü ñepüñew ge je pakülyew hohumeje, se kulo ye gaĝüzebamme.Even if he comes in the second or third watch of the night and finds them alert, those servants will be blessed.

39Djo he i danghujo vejo dawe, ñe übraw ye tsaksutchüw na tsaksuw ke jikujoma se í danghubammeje, i pakülye ĝyojobamme, sünda nudzo ñe ge majimyogyejome.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.

40Baje dashütrü ĝyojodawe; hado chemeje ha homoi ye jikujoñe mavew se homoi ge nüna üsaw jikujome.”You also must be ready, because the Son of Man will come at an hour you do not expect.”

41Sündawñe Patras i che, “He Tawgyewwa, ba he zeĝaw ye ñi aka bama mow vyow naje truwma.”“Lord,” said Peter, “are You addressing this parable to us, or to everyone else as well?”

42Tawgyew i che, “He veksüw seyo patsü-sholu hokrüw ye djuwa, djuchi dadrüw ye ná tsaw-tuw homai ge djüweñe kulo-kutro boñe ve.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?

43Se kulo ye gaĝüzeme, djú í dadrüw ye ana dangkoiye hohudama.Blessed is that servant whose master finds him doing so when he returns.

44No djo umso cheime; I í nudzo ichi vyow bo-luko ge zeĝiw vejobamme.Truly I tell you, he will put him in charge of all his possessions.

45Séŝo se kulo ye ulu ge ana vemeje, no dadrüw ye üĝalaw ge kakujobañe veñe, sünda kulo seyo kulom na güñe seyo tsañe tuñe tukrañe ĝyomeje.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.

46Se kulo i dadrüw ye ana ñeto a ye, i madanghuw ñeto a ye, i í maĝyokrüngkoi ye, seyo i madanghuw homai ye, kakujo sündañe í sojai djüñe í usu maw ge ngüañe vejo.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.

47Seyo se kulo dju nudzo dadrüw í véw í danghuñe, seyo madashütrüvoñe seyo í vew kuw ge makasabammeje, ŝüpo tsalajobamme.That servant who knows his master’s will but does not get ready or follow his instructions will be beaten with many blows.

48Séŝo dju madanghuñe ĝüw tsalajo chiĝa dadama se ye me tsalajobame, sündada dju añe djüdama, í añe prüjome; seyo dju ŝüpo boñe vedame, ichigo añe lajome.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“No druguw-drulyiw ge mi dahow kakülyahume; sünda ha tsüdawa chemeje hesalu mi dzomzoaweñe!I have come to ignite a fire on the earth, and how I wish it were already kindled!

50No baptisma lajome; sünda no malamdolu kuw no küna mauw ñiku-ñisüw ge ĝyojojema!But I have a baptism to undergo, and how distressed I am until it is accomplished!

51Ba vedaw ye no he druguw-drulyiw ge ĝüdzüw kakudañe vedama? No ba chengkoime; mome, no dabraĝiahuw kakülyahume.Do you think that I have come to bring peace to the earth? No, I tell you, but division.

52Hado chemeje hesalu yo ñe ge nüna pom naĝütchü ge magaĝijome, dzü ye ksü üdra seyo ksü ye dzü üdra.From now on, five in one household will be divided, three against two and two against three.

53Awu ye saw üdra, seyo saw ye awu üdra maveĝijome; añ ye sam üdra seyo sam ye añ üdra, apye ye safu üdra, seyo safu apye üdra maveĝijome.”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.”

54Sünda i upu naje che, “Mumu íje druguw go kalyiw hohumeje, djeañe ñedzü ŝüjo chew; sünda süna dabaibi.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.

55Sünda müdza gow ñedzü lyiw hohuñe cheibi, ñedzü shüw lyijome, sünda süna dabyo-daĝyotcho.And when the south wind blows, you say, ‘It will be hot,’ and it is.

56Loĝa-loĝe nüna nawa, djo ñedzüñe no naksü í utroñe danghudameje, hado he shüw-duw ubo kündañe madanghufia?”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“Ba hesalu ba nudzo yo hado ñu mavelafia?And why don’t you judge for yourselves what is right?

58Ba bá fodaw nüna üdra mukow ichi ge jingko ye, ĝabo ge ñu chegüdrajo dawe, momeje ba í mukow ichi ge ŝüñe lajikyeñeme, sünda mukow i bá shipashi nagzü ge djüñe seyo shipashi na bá pache ge shüñeme.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.

59No djo trungkoime, ba ajolya ajolya dañe magimdzoalu kuw, ba makahuafijome.”I tell you, you will not get out until you have paid the very last penny.”
