Luke 12 (LGA) · Opened

1Ego totonai sa qai vavaikamu lao tana sa na minete tinoni. Na soku tina sira qai vaikamu lao ko qai korapa vavaitete kakale tu mekadi, sa sa paranga momoeria i Jisu sira na ona sepele, <<Muna balaunia agou sa na toa vavabata seseke tadira na Parese sa vei na vavakovuruni palava.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.

2Ura na sakasava sa tatuki tari sa mina tatakele votu, beto na roroqu tagolomona sa kode mina tagigila tadira na tinoni.There is nothing concealed that will not be disclosed, and nothing hidden that will not be made known.

3Isa qu vavaipaparangania pa rorodomona sa mu vevelania pa kakaberena ko mi tanongoro, beto ko isa qu vaimamanasania pa leo lose sa mina tavevela pa are ruma,>> sau si Jisu.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<<Ego ma pojanigou, ka visa qua baere, muke matagutuniria sira qai boka vamatea na tini gu ba pa liguna isa sa qaike boka roitinia mule kai sakasava ikerena pa miu toa.I tell you, My friends, do not be afraid of those who kill the body and after that can do no more.

5Ba ma ule vanigou ara sa isa vei mu matagutunia agou. Mu matagutunia sa na Tamasa, isa tu sa sa koleona na ona neqi ko pa liguna sa vamatea isa na tini sa kode mina boka valaogou tugu vei pa niku pa heli. Na sosotona sapi ko isa sa mu matagutunia agou!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!

6Na tagigilana sa na laodi ka lima pitikole sa karu memeka pene gu! Ba kepore kame ira sa sa roqu mumania na Tamasa.Are not five sparrows sold for two pennies? Yet not one of them is forgotten by God.

7Goto agou sa na vurungumiu gu pa batumiu ba sa tei gigila betoriaona tu na anyedi na Tamasa. Ko sa vei sa muke matagutu. Ura agou sa qu poreveveina jolaniria joa ngavulu pitikole!>> sau si Jisu.And even the very hairs of your head are all numbered. So do not be afraid; you are worth more than many sparrows.

8<<Ma poja vatalenigou ara sagou: na tinoni sa ule votunisiu ara pa moedi ira na tinoni ko isa sa kame taqu sau, sa kode mina ule votunia tugu na Tuna na Tinoni pa moedi ira na mateana tana Tamasa sisa.I tell you, everyone who confesses Me before men, the Son of Man will also confess him before the angels of God.

9Goto na tinoni sa kilu palenisiu ara pa moedi ira na tinoni, sa kode mina kilu palenia tugu pa moedi ira na mateana tana Tamasa na Tuna na Tinoni sisa.But whoever denies Me before men will be denied before the angels of God.

10Na tinoni sa paranga vasela laoia na Tuna na Tinoni sa mina boka taleoso gu. Goto na tinoni sa vamoroania na Gagala Tabuna sa minake isongo taleoso sosoto sisa.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.

11Tonai mai toni ragata laonigou pa vaituti pa ruma vavaikamuna, pa moedi ira na bangara babi na qavuna, sa munake roroqu mamatania ai mene paranga vei babi na sa mene pojai sa mene talegasa munakeu.When you are brought before synagogues, rulers, and authorities, do not worry about how to defend yourselves or what to say.

12Ura kode na Gagala Tabuna tu mina ule vanigou pa totoso isa sira na paranga tuvisidi muna pojaria agou,>> sau si Jisu.For at that time the Holy Spirit will teach you what you should say.”

13Ego kai tinoni pa vaikamu minete tinoni sa pira saunia si Jisu, <<Tinoni vaivagigalai, mu pojania na tugaqu marene ko mi pikata vanisiu na isisongo sa loa vakole vanigei na tamamei,>> saunia.Someone in the crowd said to Him, “Teacher, tell my brother to divide the inheritance with me.”

14Poni sa pira saunia i Jisu sisa, <<Qokolo, nake qua roiti ara sa mana pitugou beto mana pikata vanigou na miu sakasava qu isongoria agou karu!>> saunia.But Jesus replied, “Man, who appointed Me judge or executor between you?”

15Beto sa pira sauniria i Jisu sira doru, <<Mu kopu mulenigou! Muke vapugelenia na nyoguana na isisongo sa na miu toa. Ura na toa tana tinoni sa sake kole pana pugele nyonyoana na ona isisongo,>> sau.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.”

16Beto sa pojaniria sa na vavakato vavapada api: <<Koleona sa kai tinoni isisongo ko na ona peso sa masuru vatale.Then He told them a parable: “The ground of a certain rich man produced an abundance.

17Sa kole vaipera na roquna mekana sisa, pira sau, <Kepore mule sa ketakoi vei mana vakoleniria mule kaki qua vuvua mana tekuria pa qua inuma sara. Ko na sa beka sa mana roitinia ara?> sau.So he thought to himself, ‘What shall I do, since I have nowhere to store my crops?’

18Beto pira sau, <Jongana, pira gu mana roiti vei sara. Mana jegara paleria sira na qua ruma vavakoleni gaganina ko mana roiti valavataria. Ko ketakoi sa mana vakoleniria na gaqu gagani mana tekuniria pa qua inuma beto kaki qua sakasava mule.>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.

19Beto sa pira mana paranga veinisiu mekaqu, <Marene ikete! Kopira tu sa vavagua sa na mua toa! Qai kubo jola na mua sakasava jongadi na padana na kubo aoro. Mu mavonia gu, mu teteku beto mu bubuku vapopotegamu, beto mu suvere qeqeramua!> managunisiu,>> sau sa na tinoni isisongo.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!”’

20Ba pira saunia na Tamasa sisa, <<Na duduvili sao! Pa bongi tugu api mina tateku pale sa na toa tamu. Ko i sei mina isongoria sira na mua sakasava qu buti vaikamuniria inara?>> saunia.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?’

21<<Ko inara kode mina vei sa na tinoni sa boko vaikamu ona sakasava mekana pa peso ba sake isisongo pa dodoro tana Tamasa,>> sau si Jisu.This is how it will be for anyone who stores up treasure for himself but is not rich toward God.”

22Beto sa pira sauniria i Jisu sira na ona sepele, <<Ko sa vei inara sa ara ma pojanigou: muke kole mamatania na miu toa beto na sa muna gania, babi na tinimiu beto na sa muna pokonia.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.

23Na miu toa sa sa poreveveina jolania na gagani, beto na tinimiu sa sa poreveveina jolania na poko.For life is more than food, and the body more than clothes.

24Mu doro laoria sira na manugu qai tatava ko! Ira sa qaike umuma beto qaike ababu, beto sa kepore tugu vei na dia ruma vavavakoleni gaganina, ba na Tamasa sa iaria gu sinara! Ba agou tu sa qu poreveveina jolaniria na manugu tatatavadi!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!

25I sei agou tonai sa kole suvere takulanga poni sa tei boka vakakasia mai tu iapeki sa na ona toa? Bi mija tugu!Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to his life?

26Ko vei muna oqoro boka roitinia agou sa kai sakasava ikete vei inara, poni sa ai sa vei qu korapa takulanganiria mule kaki goto sakasava?So if you cannot do such a small thing, why do you worry about the rest?

27Mu dogoro laoria sira na avoro pirudi ko! Qaike pavu talenia na roiti beto qaike pipitidia poko sira. Ba ma poja vatalenigou ara sagou: pa doruna na isisongo ti Solomone na bangara, sa kepore kai poko tana sa bi babata jonga vei kame ira na avoro pira.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.

28Ira gu na avoro qaike toa vasovai beto qai tagona lao pale pa niku ba sa vapopokoria tugu na Tamasa sira. Ba agou sa qu poreveveina jolaniria na avoro, ko sa sosoto jola sa kode mina vapopokogou isa. Sa ikete jola na miu rarange sagou!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!

29Ko inara sa vei sa, muke nyaqo gogojoria doru totoso agou sa na sakasa muna gania na bukua beto mike rabeke na miu roroqu.And do not be concerned about what you will eat or drink. Do not worry about it.

30Ura ira doru sakasava pira sa ira na tinoni rodomo pa kasia gusu sa qai nyaqo vivitigiria, goto agou na tamamiu pa noka ba sa tei gigila betoriaona tu sa muna toaniria agou sira na sakasava veveidi pira.For the Gentiles of the world strive after all these things, and your Father knows that you need them.

31Goto agou sa mu nyaqo momoea mai tu na binangara tana Tamasa, beto mina vanigou isa sira doru sakasava veveidi aipira,>> sau si Jisu.But seek His kingdom, and these things will be added unto you.

32<<Muke matagutu, qua minete, ura na Tamamiu pa noka sa na ona binangara tu ba sa tei vajonganai tu ko mina ianigou.Do not be afraid, little flock, for your Father is pleased to give you the kingdom.

33Mu vavainiria sira na miu isisongo beto na poatadi sa mu ianiria ira qai golaba. Mu tekua na pausu isa sake boka taunyara talulutu, isa sa na isisongo pa noka. Pa ia ketakoi sa mineke maragutu manyao, kepore na tinoni mai boka ikoa, beto na tamo minake boka ganiria.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.

34Ura ketakoi qai kole na miu isisongo sa ketakoi tugu qai kole sa na bulomiu,>> sau si Jisu.For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.

35<<Mu suvere vanaqiti doru totoso. Mu vei ira qai saqiti vamaururia na dia poko roiti ko qai vanaqiti roiti, beto muke vakipuria na miu juke.Be dressed for service and keep your lamps burning.

36Mu suvere gegele vei ira na nabulu qai korapa verania na mule lamena na dia bangara sa lao somana pa vavolo vaialava. Ko totonai mina mule lame ko mina kikia pa atakamana, sa mai sisiqarai revanga vania na atakamana.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.

37Mai qera sira na nabulu ira totonai sa lame kamu na dia bangara sa qai korapa suvere gegelenia isa! Ma poja sosotonigou ara sagou: mina vasaea isa sa nona poko ninabulu, mina valao veraria pa tevolo sira ka visa nabulu pira ko mina vatana vaniria na tetekuna ko mai teteku.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.

38Ko vei bi na korapa bongi tu sa babi na jola korapa bongi tu sa bi mule lame batiria bai korapa gegelenia, poni sa mai qera tugu sira.Even if he comes in the second or third watch of the night and finds them alert, those servants will be blessed.

39Mu nongoro vakoititia sapi! Vei bi tei gigila momoea tu na tinoni poreona ruma sa na totoso lame tana tinoni ikikona sa kode mina dorava ko mina kole verania ko mina totoke susuqutunia sa nona ruma ko minake boka pururu tome laoia na tinoni ikikona.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.

40Ko inara sa vei sa agou ba mu kole suvere vanaqiti. Ura na Tuna na Tinoni sa kode mina mule lame pa totoso agou quke rove veinia mina lame,>> sau si Jisu.You also must be ready, because the Son of Man will come at an hour you do not expect.”

41Poni pira sau si Pita, <<Bangara, tamigei na sepele gu qugunia ao sa na vavakato vavapada api, ba tamigei doru tinoni tugu?>> sau.“Lord,” said Peter, “are You addressing this parable to us, or to everyone else as well?”

42Poni pira sau sa na Bangara, <<I sei sa na nabulu tarangena beto na tavagigalana? Isa tugu sa na nabulu mina vaivivai na bangara ko mina kopunia na ona ruma, ko isa sa mina ianiria mule na gagani ira kaki ona nabulu pa totoso tavilena.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?

43Mina qera sa na nabulu isa vei mina korapa roiti vatale vei inara isa totonai mina mule lame batia na ona bangara.Blessed is that servant whose master finds him doing so when he returns.

44Ara ma poja vatalenigou sosoto: mina vaiviva lavatia na ona bangara sa na tinoni isa, beto mina vakopuniria doru ona isisongo.Truly I tell you, he will put him in charge of all his possessions.

45Ba vei bi roroqu sa na tinoni isa, <Koi, kode minake oqani mule sa na qua bangara,> biu, ko bi podalai mamaja lalameniria sira na nabulu marene beto na nabulu rereko, beto bi kokole gu ngongoja vapopotegana beto bi kole bubuku vadidigerenia gu,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.

46poni sa totonai mina korapa gu roiti vei isa inara pa rane na totoso sake rove veinia mina mule na ona bangara, sa kode mina mule kamu sa na bangara tana nabulu isa. Kode mina vakilasa vatalea na bangara sisa, beto mina gona laonia tadira qaike vakepore sosotoa na Tamasa.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.

47Ko na nabulu sa gigilaiona sisa vei sa nyoroguania na ona bangara ba sake vanaqiti beto sake roitinia sisa vei sa nyoroguania nona bangara, sa mina tapipiqolo vatale sisa.That servant who knows his master’s will but does not get ready or follow his instructions will be beaten with many blows.

48Goto na nabulu sake gigilai na manugu sa nyoroguania na ona bangara, ko sa roitinia sisa bi boka tapiqolonia, sa kode minake loka neqina sa na piqolo mina tekua isa. Ba isa sa ia vakukubo vania na Tamasa ko mina kopuniria, sa na kukubo tugu sa sa nyoguania ko mina vaiiania na tinoni isa. Ko isa sa taiania na sokuna sa kode na sokuna tugu sa mai tepania ira na tinoni sisa,>> sau si Jisu.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<<Na iku tu sa qa pogoso lagerenia ara pa peso, ko na qua nyorogua sa bi oqani toa vuvurungu tu sisa qau!I have come to ignite a fire on the earth, and how I wish it were already kindled!

50Ba kai paputaiso vitigi sa kode mana tomea mai ara, ko isa sa qa korapa takulangania ara tinganai mina jola tu isa.But I have a baptism to undergo, and how distressed I am until it is accomplished!

51Kita mu roroqua agou sa na bule sa qa pogoso lamenia ara pa peso kita mugu. Dai! Ma pojanigou: nake bule sa qa pogoso lamenia ara, goto na vaipikatai tu.Do you think that I have come to bring peace to the earth? No, I tell you, but division.

52Podalai kopira sa vei ira ka lima sa pa kai puku tatamana, sa kode mai vaikana ko ira kue kode mai rajaria ira karu, ira karu mai rajaria ira kue.From now on, five in one household will be divided, three against two and two against three.

53Kode mai vaipikatai ko na tamadi mina kanai na tudia marene, na tudia marene mina kanai na tamadi. Na tinadi mina kanai na tudia rereko, na tudia rereko mina kanai na tinadi. Na tinadi sa mina kanai na ona roroto rereko roadi, na roroto rereko roadi sa mina kanai na roadi rereko,>> sau si Jisu.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.”

54Beto sa paranga laoria i Jisu sira na minete tinoni, <<Isa tugu qu batia agou sa na pauku sa lame vei pa kale suvu tapo, poni sa quke ruavo tugu paranga vei pira sagou, <Koi, kode mina lame sa na qolapeso,> qugu, poni sa okoro tugu sa neqa.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.

55Beto isa tugu qu turu bata lao vei pa suvu tapo ko qu vagigilai na gava sa raja keta pa kale merimiu, sa qu paranga sagou, <Koi, kode mina dadanga sa neqa,> qugu, poni sa dadanga tugu sa neqa.And when the south wind blows, you say, ‘It will be hot,’ and it is.

56Na tinoni vavabata sesekemiu sagou! Qu boka doro gigalia agou sa na rijodi beto na kanokodi na peso beto na vavagalo eqa, ba ai sa vei ko quke boka tu doro gigilai agou sa na roiti sa roitiniria na Tamasa pa totoso api?>> sau si Jisu.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<<Beto ai sa vei ko quke boka tu doro pikatia mekamiu agou sa na roiti tuvisina?And why don’t you judge for yourselves what is right?

58Tonai qu korapa lalaomiu tana tinoni vaituti sa agou karu na mua kana, sa mu podeke vivitigia ko mu vatuvisi momoea ko mu popoa mai tu sa na mua tapata tonai qu oqoro lao ao pa vaituti. Ura vei tonai muna kamua ao sa na ia vavaipituna, sa kode muna tatoni lao tana tinoni sa roitinia na vavaipitu, ko na tinoni sa vavaipitu isa mina valaogo tana tinoni kopu ruma vaipiu, beto ko na tinoni kopu mina vatomego pa ruma vaipiu sao.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.

59Ko ma poja veinigo pira ara sao: kode munake votu pa ruma vaipiu sao, tinganai muna lipu vaokotia ao sa na padana qu tavakilasania,>> sau si Jisu.I tell you, you will not get out until you have paid the very last penny.”
