Luke 12 (HWO) · Opened

1Wumna fiya ɓa hangga har kanda ishang ndan hai, katǝrangga Yeeso tsǝ laɓara ˈwan tǝ fatsahayighǝn, ndǝghǝn, “Kwarama tǝ mehen Farisaya ndǝna thlǝrɓuyirha.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.

2Mbǝ ˈyasǝ na nggǝnggǝla mbuwa inɗaɗǝ wa, tǝ ƙǝm mbǝ ˈyasǝ na ɓǝɓee mbuwa kyarha pǝpal ɓa wa.There is nothing concealed that will not be disclosed, and nothing hidden that will not be made known.

3Kala ˈya thlǝknun ɓǝɓee na fiya sǝƙǝn a pǝpal, ˈya thlǝknun ƙǝƙǝɗak nanda a kalmiighǝn ɗǝ sǝkƙǝna fiya.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“Niya ndang kun shayina, a tǝrǝmɗun nafiya na a ɓǝl farha wa, a kwasamadɗi ɓǝlang na nda, mbu ˈyasǝ nanda naarha ɓal wa.I tell you, My friends, do not be afraid of those who kill the body and after that can do no more.

5Niya pǝrang niifa kun nun tǝrǝmnda, tǝrmama Faara na tǝ sǝsǝmnda ɓǝlang nda farha, a kwasamadghǝn muwanggǝn ahu hwanga ɗǝ. Kǝkafek niya pǝranggǝn kun tǝrmama Faara!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!

6Mbǝna nda heng wuɗikkya ɗǝ tuf pene sǝri wa? Ko tǝtali ahur ndan mbǝɗangwa Faara wa.Are not five sparrows sold for two pennies? Yet not one of them is forgotten by God.

7Ko was tengginun ni ma nǝghǝn thlǝthlǝɗa. A tǝrǝmɗun wa, ƙǝsǝr kalɗun wuɗikkya kaan!”And even the very hairs of your head are all numbered. So do not be afraid; you are worth more than many sparrows.

8“Niya ndang nda kun, kala niifa ndagha sǝnɗǝ nggi a mbed fiya, Wan Niifa ƙǝm nǝn a ndaarha sǝnɗa ndǝn a mbed fathlǝngya Faara.I tell you, everyone who confesses Me before men, the Son of Man will also confess him before the angels of God.

9Niifa ƙǝm ndaarha sǝngwa nggi wa a mbed fiya, nggi ƙǝm ni ndaarha sǝngwi ndǝn wa a mbed fa thlǝngya Faara wa.But whoever denies Me before men will be denied before the angels of God.

10Kala niifa na thlǝk pathla mbuwa ngga aten Wan Niifa na nda chahanggǝnɗǝ. Amma niifa sargha Sǝsǝna tǝ Peɗǝnda mba nda chahanggǝn ɗǝ wa.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.

11A ɗǝn nda tǝ kun a mbed mamngya Ƙǝn Faara ɗǝ, tǝ fa ngwa kumaya, tǝ kutǝrya, a ɓillaɗun tǝ kwamana nun a kyang altennun sǝ wa, ko tǝ pathla nun a nggǝrang kanda sǝwa.When you are brought before synagogues, rulers, and authorities, do not worry about how to defend yourselves or what to say.

12Ƙǝsǝr Sǝsǝna tǝ Peɗǝnda nǝn a tsahang ˈya kun ha kamngga a thlǝwun.”For at that time the Holy Spirit will teach you what you should say.”

13Tǝrgha niifasǝ ahur fiya ndanggǝn Yeeso, “Mala, ndang wan mana fǝre yina langaarha nǝn malang na mǝra chinan kan hai.”Someone in the crowd said to Him, “Teacher, tell my brother to divide the inheritance with me.”

14Tǝrgha Yeeso ndanggǝn, “Kaiya wayee, wun ɗǝfegha tǝ ngwa kumarha, ni ɗǝk langaarha?”But Jesus replied, “Man, who appointed Me judge or executor between you?”

15Tǝrgha ndanggǝn kanda, “Kwarama fa, nama inggun tǝ ˈya na ɓarha ɓa tǝ kwit hura, ƙǝsǝr yiɓǝd niifa kalɗǝ ǝn ƙǝshiirha.”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.”

16Fǝrang karapu nǝn kanda ndǝghǝn, “ˈWad tǝ ƙǝna naarha sǝ walgha ǝnnarhami ahu hedghǝn kaan.Then He told them a parable: “The ground of a certain rich man produced an abundance.

17Ndagha, ‘Mbǝ mbǝd ɗǝf ǝnnadɗami sǝ kyana wa. Mani naarha?’”So he thought to himself, ‘What shall I do, since I have nowhere to store my crops?’

18“Ndǝghǝn, ‘Yoo! Sǝnɗi ˈya niya naarha. Niya fǝlang ɓiriukina ɗǝ ya, tǝn fingya ni na mǝmanggǝn, iranggi ǝnnannami sa hai tǝ karinna heu.’”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.

19Ndanggi altenna, “Kai! Na ǝngyasǝ na nggǝngga tǝ ǝnnarhami ɗǝfangna ɗǝ yi huraya hangga. Yiɓu, hǝɓu, saana tǝk mbǝnda na fa.”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“Amma Faara ndanggǝn, ‘Sa nura! A fǝɗigɗi ya na nda a kaɗa yiɓǝdwa. Kariɗi ɗǝfangna ɗǝ ya nǝn a tsaurha yi wun?’”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?’

21Ngwalangga Yeeso pathɗiya tǝ ndaarha, “Nǝn tsaurha kee tǝ niifa wumangga ƙǝna hai a altenggǝn, amma a mbed Faara tǝ yaminni.”This is how it will be for anyone who stores up treasure for himself but is not rich toward God.”

22Ndangga Yeeso fatsahayighǝn, “Niya ndang nda kun, a ɓillaɗun tǝ yiɓǝd nun, tǝ ˈya nun ǝnnarhami, tǝ ƙǝm ˈya nun kala fa wa.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.

23Ƙǝsǝr yibrha kalɗǝ ǝnnarhami, farha ƙǝm kalɗǝ lukkya.For life is more than food, and the body more than clothes.

24Kǝla man wuɗikkya lee! Mba nda hǝfrha wa, mba nda hathla wa, mba nda tǝ ƙǝn ǝnnarhami ko ɓiriukya wa, ko nanǝn kee na Faara fǝrang ǝnnarhami kanda. Sǝngunsǝ mamnggit nun kalɗǝ yi wuɗikkya wa?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!

25Wunni ahur nun aten ɓilladghǝn na mbang chik ɓenggǝn, ko yi ɓeena tal ahu ƙǝshiirha?Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to his life?

26A mbun a mbang ǝna ˈya ngguchit ƙǝla yanɗiya wa, ƙǝn nun ɓillarha aten fingya ǝngya na mid nun?So if you cannot do such a small thing, why do you worry about the rest?

27“Kǝla man fid ɗǝfya na nda tsǝrha. Mba nda na taara, ko pu kaɓarha wa. Nanǝn kee, niya ndang nda kun, ko kutǝra Sulemanu tǝ mamnggitghǝn ˈwa wa ngwarha fa ƙǝla tal ahur ndan wa.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.

28Ana Faara a ngwang nda hwalirha fa na a hee kiya, hwalirha nasǝ aweeriya, a ɓinda ƙǝm njigha ɗǝ, sakkwa kun nǝn ngwang kun fa? Kun fa yamid fǝrƙǝkafek!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!

29A naɗun a numarha aten ǝnnarhami ko ǝn sarha wa, ma ɓillaɗun aten ǝnggini ya wa.And do not be concerned about what you will eat or drink. Do not worry about it.

30Nafiya sǝngwa Faara na nda kaɗa tur ǝnggini ya, amma Chinun sǝnɗǝ ˈya na minnun.For the Gentiles of the world strive after all these things, and your Father knows that you need them.

31Kun nggi kaɗama kutǝryid Faara, ǝnggini na heu ƙǝmya nǝn fǝranggǝn kun.But seek His kingdom, and these things will be added unto you.

32“Kun chiɓrha na ngguchit, a tǝrǝmɗun wa, ƙǝsǝr Chinǝm nǝn a tǝk mbǝndafa a fǝrang kutǝryidghǝn nǝn kun.Do not be afraid, little flock, for your Father is pleased to give you the kingdom.

33Heeman ˈǝngginun ɗǝ na heu, fǝrang wuɗǝɓǝlghǝn nun fa yamiya. Ɗǝfaman ƙǝna altennun ɗǝ mbuwa ngwalarha, ƙǝna mbuwa sǝbrha ɗǝ a talara, mbǝrha mbuwana ngaara kyarha ɗǝ ɗǝgha tǝrang, tǝ mbǝrha mbuwana mǝmemngya sǝɓang ɗǝ.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.

34Ƙǝsǝr mberha na ƙǝnawa sǝ, ndǝna mbǝd numad wa.”For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.

35“Ngwama fa ka taara, patillan nun njinji.Be dressed for service and keep your lamps burning.

36Tsawama ƙǝla mafaya na ƙǝla turi ndan fa na wutta ɓa ahu wutsǝfayid kakhrha. A Wudɗa ɓa ɗǝk kwatminda nǝn, nanda inanggǝn hai wet.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.

37Nǝn naarha ngga a fad mafayini a wud turi ndan ɓa, a ɓaɗǝ wal kanda a ƙǝlarha ka taara. Niya ndang nda kun, nǝn a kalang kaɓadghǝn hai kal yi taara nǝn, ndanggǝn kanda tsawama hai, fǝrang ǝnnarhami nǝn kanda.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.

38Nǝn naarha ngga a fad mafayini a wud turi ndan ɓa a manad fǝɗigrha, ko ahar tsar aɓaɗǝ wal kanda nggungwa fa.”Even if he comes in the second or third watch of the night and finds them alert, those servants will be blessed.

39Nggǝrgha Yeeso thlǝghang karapu kanda, ndǝghǝn, “A sǝn ture sayidɗi na ngaara a kyarha wuri keeghǝn hai, mbǝ malang nda kyagha sa hai wa.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.

40Kun ƙǝm tsawama nggungwa fa, ƙǝsǝr Wan Niifa nǝn a wutta ɓa a sayidɗi sǝngwa nun sǝ.”You also must be ready, because the Son of Man will come at an hour you do not expect.”

41Ndagha Mbiturus, “Paɓa, karapu ɗiya aten nan ǝnana nan wa, nduwa aten fiya na heu wa?”“Lord,” said Peter, “are You addressing this parable to us, or to everyone else as well?”

42Nggǝmangga Chinǝm ndǝghǝn, “Tsawama ƙǝla mafadɗi na tǝ ƙǝkafek na ndǝndǝl ƙǝm, ɗǝfangna turighǝn aten mafayighǝn, na fǝrang ǝnnarhami kanda a sayidɗi kamngga.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?

43Nǝn naarha ngga a fad mafadɗi ɓana turighǝn walghǝn a ǝna targhǝn mǝmǝl.Blessed is that servant whose master finds him doing so when he returns.

44Kǝkafek niya pǝranggǝn kun, nǝn ɗǝfang mafadɗi aten karidghǝn na heu.Truly I tell you, he will put him in charge of all his possessions.

45Amma a ndang mafadɗi altenggǝn, ‘Turina ɓawaɓa wet wa,’ tǝrgha katǝranggǝn ɗǝk mafaya nishya tǝ hǝshya, kyagha hu hǝbrha hai tǝ sarha nagha a tǝrang teena.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.

46Turi mafadiya nǝn a wutta ɓa a fara sǝnngwanǝn sǝ. Turiɗi wu nǝn ɗǝkƙǝn kaan wumanggǝn tǝ nafiya na ɗimi.”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“Mafadɗi sǝngga ˈya na mid turighǝn a ǝnagha, amma ngwawafa wa, tǝ ƙǝm ǝnawa ǝnɗi ndang nanda a ǝnagha wa, na nda a tsaɗaghǝn kaan.That servant who knows his master’s will but does not get ready or follow his instructions will be beaten with many blows.

48Amma niifa sǝngwawa sǝ, a naɗǝ ˈya kamngga a tsǝtsǝlghǝn nda, na nda ɗǝkƙǝn ngguchit. Kala niifa fǝrang nda ˈya hangga, na nda kaɗa ˈya hangga a harghǝn. Niifa fǝrang nda ˈya hangga kaan, nanda kaɗa ˈya hangga a harghǝn kaan.”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.

49Tǝrgha ndagha Yeeso, “Ɓani hu ƙǝshiirha ɓa tǝ ngwa kumarha na ƙǝla waarha. Ana nggǝmndǝna ni kam njang nda ɗǝ!I have come to ignite a fire on the earth, and how I wish it were already kindled!

50Na mbaptisǝma sǝsaarha sǝ na nda a ǝneerha, ɓillaɗi kaan na a ǝneeƙǝn nda!But I have a baptism to undergo, and how distressed I am until it is accomplished!

51Tamnggun ndaarha ɓang ni tsawud ɗǝɗemnggirha ƙǝshiirha ɓa wa? Awo! Niya ndang nda kun, ɓaniɓa tǝ tsakhrha hai.Do you think that I have come to bring peace to the earth? No, I tell you, but division.

52Nanǝn ya, ahu wure tal nafiya tuf nanda tsakhrha hai pǝmnggǝn sǝri, nafiya mahan a tsan nafiya sǝri, nafiya sǝri ƙǝm a tsan nafiya mahan.From now on, five in one household will be divided, three against two and two against three.

53China nǝn tsan wanggǝn. Wanɗi ƙǝm nǝn tsan chin. Man nǝn tsan wutaradghǝn, wutaradɗi ƙǝm a tsan man. Thlaɓǝrra nǝn tsan nu wanggǝn, nu wanɗi ƙǝm nǝn tsan thlaɓǝrghǝn.”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.”

54Tǝrgha ndanggǝn fiya, “A naɗun hashmbe a man hǝmnda faara ɓa, nun ndaarha ‘Na ˈyaara ɓayi,’ ɓagha hai.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.

55A na ɓereurha ɓayi manki pǝlasarya ndon ‘Na ƙǝrta a naarha sǝ’, tǝrgha naghasǝ.And when the south wind blows, you say, ‘It will be hot,’ and it is.

56Fa thlǝrɓuya! Mbangɗun sǝnang kyaharra mbǝrha hai na a hweeɗe tǝ fǝrakh-amshi, amma sǝnda ǝn ɓengginiya sǝnggundun wa.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“Mani mbuwa nun numarha ǝna ˈya nun na ngga kun tǝ alten nun?”And why don’t you judge for yourselves what is right?

58Ndagha Yeeso, “Kǝla ndam, a huhwad niifa sa, kaɗu kwamana na a tangsanggun pathlang nun a kwamana. A karna fa, ɗǝnǝn tǝsa a mbed tǝ ngwa kumarha ɗǝ. Tǝ ngwa kumarha ƙǝm nǝn fǝrang sa wan sǝsalya. Wan sǝsalya ƙǝm na nda muworha ƙǝnɗǝ.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.

59Niya ndorha, mba kyarhaɓa wa ƙǝl tiina ǝnɗi kyo nanda heu.”I tell you, you will not get out until you have paid the very last penny.”
