Luke 12 (ISN) · Opened

1Kumatungo yayo, maelfu edu naantu aeilingiie palung'wi, ikanza kitilangila, akanza kutambula niamanyisigwa akwe niakwanza, “Huguki nigae ya Mafarisayo kunsoko eze unafiki.”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.

2Naikutula kutile anga unkunku nuipihile kunsoko shangaikunukulwa, wala lukani nulipihile kunsoko shangalukigeela. Na lehi nemulitambue mukiti, lukigwa muwelu. Na mehi namihinaatambuwe mukate mukutwe ntongeela anyu niyamukati naoilugaiwe akatanantigwa migulya muukuta wa nyumba.There is nothing concealed that will not be disclosed, and nothing hidden that will not be made known.

4Kumuila ahumba eane, lekikogopi awa niuulaga umwiili na agila anga kintu nikingiza nikakituma.I tell you, My friends, do not be afraid of those who kill the body and after that can do no more.

5Kuite kumulingasa nuakumwogopa. Mogopi uyo kunsoko kukila kina wabulaga, ukite uhumi wakuguma kujehanamu. Ee kumuila unye, mwogopi nuanso.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!

6Ite shomoro aatano shangaakualigwa kusarafu ibiile? Hata uuga kutile hata nung'we ao shangaukusahaulika ntoongela ang'wi Tunda.Are not five sparrows sold for two pennies? Yet not one of them is forgotten by God.

7Kuite mulinge kina, imasingi amatwe anyu aaigwe. Lekikopi. Unye meathamani nkulu kukila shomoro edu.And even the very hairs of your head are all numbered. So do not be afraid; you are worth more than many sparrows.

8Kumuila, wihi nukungomba unene ntongeela aantu, Ung'wana wang'wa Adamu ukumugomba ntongeela amalaeka ang'wi Tunda.I tell you, everyone who confesses Me before men, the Son of Man will also confess him before the angels of God.

9Lakini wihe nuekanihita ntongela aantu nung'wenso kumuhita ntongeela amalaeka ang'wi Tunda.But whoever denies Me before men will be denied before the angels of God.

10Wehi nuekatambula ulukani nulube migulya ang'wana wang'wa Adamu, ukusamilwa, lakini wehi wikamumela ung'waung'welu, singaukusamilwa.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.

11Nuekamutala ntongeela aakulu amatekeelo, akulu, niakite uhumi, lekikuogopi migulya kunsoko akuligitya nukitetea ntuni nilakutambula,When you are brought before synagogues, rulers, and authorities, do not worry about how to defend yourselves or what to say.

12kunsoko ung'waung'welu ukumumanyisa kutambula kumatungo nanso.”For at that time the Holy Spirit will teach you what you should say.”

13Muntu ung'we mumo mumilundo akamuila, “Mwalimu muile umunyandogu ane wangawile isehemu aurithi wane.”Someone in the crowd said to Him, “Teacher, tell my brother to divide the inheritance with me.”

14U Yesu akamuila, nyenyu naumbikile une kutula nimulamuli nukumuhumbilya ntongeela anyu?But Jesus replied, “Man, who appointed Me judge or executor between you?”

15Kuite akaaila, huguki nekila nsula, kunsoko uupanga wantu shangaukole munsao nimaintu akwe nukite.”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.”

16U Yesu akaaila kumpyani, wikalunga, umugunda wamuntu ung'wi naemugole ailitugile ikulu,Then He told them a parable: “The ground of a certain rich man produced an abundance.

17wekikolya munkolo akwe, wikalunga, kutenda ule nsokotile anga sehemu akueka imazao ane?So he thought to himself, ‘What shall I do, since I have nowhere to store my crops?’

18Akatambula, kutenda ite. Kuunanga imasalanka ane nimanino nukuzepya ile nikulo, nukumaika imazao ane ehi nimaintu nimangiza.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.

19Kumeila inkolo ane, “Nkolo, wiikilye akiba intu idu kumyaka edu. Supya, ulye, ung'we nukusupya.”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!”’

20Lakini Itunda akamuila, ue muntu numugila mahala, utiku wa lelo ametakile inkolo kupuma kitalako, nimaintu ehi numazipye ukumulekela nyenyu?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?’

21Uu ikutula kukila muntu nuiikiye insao kizepeelya kunsoko ang'wa Mukulu.This is how it will be for anyone who stores up treasure for himself but is not rich toward God.”

22U Yesu akaaila iamanyisigwa akwe, kuite kumuela mulekekuhofu migulya amaisha anyu_mukulya ntuni numigulya ameele anyu_mukutugala ntuni.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.

23Kunsoko imaisha kukela andya, numwiile kukila ang'wenda.For life is more than food, and the body more than clothes.

24Gozi inyunyi ya migulya, shangailema hange shangaivuna. Agila anga nyumba wala isalanka nilakukiila, lakini Itunda wialesa. Unye shanga miaza kukila inyonyi!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!

25Nuule kitalanyu nuhumile kisumbula nukongelya dhiraa ing'we muwikale wakwe.Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to his life?

26Angaitule shangamuwezilye kituma nikanso ikentu nikinino nekidabu kuneke usumbukile nimangiza?So if you cannot do such a small thing, why do you worry about the rest?

27Gozi imaua-nizepela. Shangituma anga milemo wala shangipalinga. Lakini kumuila, ata u Sulemani muutukufu wakwe wehi shangaaukunikiwe anga yaite.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.

28Kuite Itunda wimakunikila iza imatutu imugunda, kunsoko lelo akole, nu mudau wimaguma mumoto. Ite singa tai ne ukumukunikila unyenye?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!

29Lekikusumbukili namigulya mukulya ntuni ang'wi mukung'wa ntuni, muleke kutula nuwoa.And do not be concerned about what you will eat or drink. Do not worry about it.

30Kunsoko imahe ihe na muunkumbigulu agiila emakani ao. Nutata anyu uine mutakile yayo.For the Gentiles of the world strive after all these things, and your Father knows that you need them.

31Kuite dumi uutemi wakwe hanza, aya nimangiza mukongeeligwa,But seek His kingdom, and these things will be added unto you.

32lekikogopi, unye niakehu, kunsoko utata anyu uloilwe kumupa unye uutemi.Do not be afraid, little flock, for your Father is pleased to give you the kingdom.

33Ngulyi insao yanyu muape iatuka, mutule nimefuko nishangiuilwa_itulyo lakilunde nishangalihila, kianza nikanso eii shangaehumbila wala nondo shanga akuweza kubepya.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.

34Kuite nilikole itulyo lako, hapo ninkolo ako ikutulaikole.For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.

35Iang'wenda anyu nialepu atule atungilwe kumunkanda, ni ntala yanyu ihakikishigwe kina yendelee kakila,Be dressed for service and keep your lamps burning.

36Mutule anga aantu, niamugozee u Mukulu kupuma mushere winga. Kuite anga waze wakoe ihodi, ahumile kumuluguela mulango kwa haraka.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.

37Akembetilwe iitumi, neanso u Mukulu nukuaahanga akole miho. Etai ukuatunga ang'wenda alepu neminkanda kuite ukuikalesha pihe pandya, neite ukuahudumila.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.

38Kuite u Mukulu angawaze kunkua akabiile nadolia ang'wi utiku ung'wi nkua akatatu na dolia, nukuahanga, akole uza, ikutula tazu kung'wao eitumi.Even if he comes in the second or third watch of the night and finds them alert, those servants will be blessed.

39Kukila ayo, mulinge ile, kina u mukulu ung'wenso nuanyumba angize uine imatungo nuzie umii, singauzegomba enyumba akwe kuunangwa.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.

40Mutule mukole iza kunsoko shangamuine imatungo kee ung'wa Adamu nukusuka.You also must be ready, because the Son of Man will come at an hour you do not expect.”

41U Petelo akalunga, “Mukulu, ukoela usese kumpyani ang'wi ukuila kila umuntu?“Lord,” said Peter, “are You addressing this parable to us, or to everyone else as well?”

42Mukulu wekaaila nyenyu umitumi numuhueli ang'wi nukete eheshima kuite u mukulu wakwe ukumuika migulya aitumi neangiza, kuite agawile indya yao kumatungo nazipie?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?

43Uloeigwe umitumi nuanso, kunsoko u mukulu wakwe ukumuhanga ukituma aya naulageigwe.Blessed is that servant whose master finds him doing so when he returns.

44ite kumuila unye kunsoko ukumuika migulya ansao yakwe yehi.Truly I tell you, he will put him in charge of all his possessions.

45Kunsoko umitumi nuanso ukulunga mumoyo wakwe, “mukulu wane ukushelewa kusuka, kuite akakaakua zitumi akigoha nawa niasungu, kuite akanza kulya, kung'wa nukugala.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.

46U mukulu wakwe nuanso umitumi uzile kuluhiku nisingautegemee nematungo nishangaumaine, nung'wanso ukumutema ipande ipande nukuaika isehemu palung'wi nishangaahuie.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.

47Umitumi, nuzile ulowa wang'wa Mukulu wakwe, nung'wenso shanga aiwihambile endogoilyo shangaukituma sawa sawa nuulowa wakwe, ukukuwa iboko iidu.That servant who knows his master’s will but does not get ready or follow his instructions will be beaten with many blows.

48Lakini umitumi nushangaune uloowa wang'wa Mukulu wakwe, lakini ukituma naloeye adhabu, ukokuwa iboko ikehu. Kunsoko aupewe yeedu, yeedu kupuma kung'wakwe, ung'wenso nishangaauhuiwe kuintu niyedu, kitalakwe ikudaigwa yedu kukila.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.

49Nezile kakilya umoto muunkumbigulu, na nkete insula utule wakeigwe.I have come to ignite a fire on the earth, and how I wish it were already kindled!

50Lakini nkete ubatizo nuanso nuakubadisigwa, nankite uukia mpaka nuukukamilika!But I have a baptism to undergo, and how distressed I am until it is accomplished!

51Ite musegile aenizile kuleta uhueline muunkumbigulu? Kutile, kumuila, badala akwe ndetile mugawanyiko.Do you think that I have come to bring peace to the earth? No, I tell you, but division.

52Kupuma itungile nukendelea ikutula aantu aatano munymba ing'wi agawanyikile, awa niatatu akatula kinyume nawa niabiile, nawaniabiile akutula kinyume nawaniatatu.From now on, five in one household will be divided, three against two and two against three.

53Akutawanyika, utata ukutula kinyume niana, niana akutula kenyume nutata ao, umama ukutulakinyume numunanso akwe, numunanso ukutula kenyume numama akwe, umama mukwe ukutula kenyume numukwingwakwe, numukwingwakw ukutula kenyume numamamukwe wakwe.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.”

54U Yesu wikatula aela imakutano hange, “Ite angamuone imalunde akupumila kukilya, melunga imatungo ambula aapika; uu yetula.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.

55Nung'wega wakuhuma anga ukunke, mekalunga, ikutula ijoto itaki, uu ikatula.And when the south wind blows, you say, ‘It will be hot,’ and it is.

56Unye ateele, mukuweza kutafsiri wigeleki wihe ni gulu lakini itula ule shangamugemile kutafsiri imatungo nakole?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?

57Kuneke kila ung'we anyu kupambanula ileni lekole iza kung'wakwe kituma kumatungo nukete inafasi akituma nanso.And why don’t you judge for yourselves what is right?

58Kundogoilyo angawende numube wako ntongeela amulamuli, mugeme kupatana numube wako muze mukole munzila aleke kuutwala kumulamuli, numulamuli wakutwal3 kumukulu, numukulu wakutwale mukitungo.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.

59Kuila shanga ukupuma kung'wanso mpaka ukulipa esenti aamwisho.I tell you, you will not get out until you have paid the very last penny.”
