Luke 12 (REG) · Opened

1Akatungu ako, ebhiumbi bhya abhanu nibhekofyanya amwi, okukingila nibhamba ukutajana, namba okwaika na abheigisibhwa bhaye okwamba, “Mwikenge ne echifwimbya cha Abhafarisayo echo ni bhunafiki”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.

2Italibhao mbisike iselekele inu italisululwa, nolwo egambo liselekelwe linu litalimenyekana.There is nothing concealed that will not be disclosed, and nothing hidden that will not be made known.

3Na lyona lyona linu mwaikile muli muchisute, lilyungwibhwa mubhwelu. Na gonagona ganu mwaikile mukutwi muli munsika jemwe eja munda bhigae galyaikwa ingulu yoruswi lwa inyumba.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.

4Bhasani bhani enibhabhwila, mwasiga okubhaya bhanu abheta omubhili na nibhamala bhatali na chinu chindi echokukola,I tell you, My friends, do not be afraid of those who kill the body and after that can do no more.

5Nawe enibhaonya mumenye owokubhaya. Mubhaye unu kamala okwita na ali no obhutulo obhwokulasa mwitanga lyomulilo. Yee, enibhabhwila mubhaye oyo.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!

6Mbe enibhusha, ebhitamba bhitanu bhatabhigusha senti ebhili? nawe ona kataliwo nakamwi kanu Nyamuanga alikalabhilwa imbele yaye.Are not five sparrows sold for two pennies? Yet not one of them is forgotten by God.

7Nawe mumenye ati, jimfwili je emitwe jemwe jibhalilwe. Msige kubhaya. Emwe muli ne echibhalo chinene okukila ebhitamba bhyafu.And even the very hairs of your head are all numbered. So do not be afraid; you are worth more than many sparrows.

8Enibhabhwila, wonawona unu alinyikilisha imbele ya abhanu, Omwana wa Adamu ona alimwikilisha imbele ya bhamalaika bha Nyamuanga.I tell you, everyone who confesses Me before men, the Son of Man will also confess him before the angels of God.

9Nawe wonawona unu alinyigana imbele ya abhanu omwene ona nilimwigana imbele ya bhamalaika bha Nyamuanga.But whoever denies Me before men will be denied before the angels of God.

10Wonawona unu alyaikako Omwana wa Adamu kubhibhi, alisasilwa, nawe wonawona unu alijimya Mwoyo Mweru, atalisasilwa.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“Bhalibha bhabhasila imbele ya abhakulu bha amasinagogi, abhatwale, na abhobhuinga, mwasiga kubhaya ingulu ya kutyo mulaika okwibhambalila amo ati echija okwaika chinuki,When you are brought before synagogues, rulers, and authorities, do not worry about how to defend yourselves or what to say.

12kulwokubha Mwoyo Mweru kaja okubheigisha injila yo okwaika mukatungu ako.”For at that time the Holy Spirit will teach you what you should say.”

13Omunu umwi mwiijo namubhwila ati, “Mwiigisha, nubhwile omumula wasu anane libhala lyo omwandu gwani.”Someone in the crowd said to Him, “Teacher, tell my brother to divide the inheritance with me.”

14Yesu nasubhya ati, “Niga unu anteyewo okubha mulamusi na mugwatanyisha wemwe?But Jesus replied, “Man, who appointed Me judge or executor between you?”

15Nio nabhabhwila ati, “Mwikenge na bhuli mbaga yo omululu, kulwokubha obhuanga bhwo omunu bhutali mubhwafu bhe ebhinu bhini alinabhyo.”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.”

16Yesu nabhabhwila echijejekanyo, naika ati, “Lisambu lya omunu umwi owalibhona lyaisishe ebhilyo bhyafu,Then He told them a parable: “The ground of a certain rich man produced an abundance.

17nebhusha mumwoyo gwaye naika ati, 'nikole kutiki kulwokubha nitali nawakutula ebhilyo bhyani?So he thought to himself, ‘What shall I do, since I have nowhere to store my crops?’

18Naika ati, enija okukola kutya. Enifumya ebhitala bhyani ebhitoto nindanda ebhinene, omwo nimwo nimbika ebhilyo bhani ne ebhinu bhindi.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.

19Nimbilwa omwoyo gwani, “Webhikiye ebhinu bhyafu kwe myaka myafu. Fung'ama, ulye, unywe no kuchecheka.”'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“Nawe Nyamuanga namubhwila ati, 'Awe omunu omumumu, mungeta ya lelo abhenda obhulame okusoka kwao, mbe ebhinu bhinu wilabhile ebhibha bhyaga?'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?’

21Mbe nikwokutyo jili ku bhuli munu unu ebhikiye imali nasiga okwilabha (okwilosha) kumisango jo Omukama.”This is how it will be for anyone who stores up treasure for himself but is not rich toward God.”

22Yesu nabhabhwila abheigisibhwa bhaye ati, “Kulwejo enibhabhwila kutya, mwasiga okuyaya ingulu ya obhulame bhweme ati omulya chinuki amo ingulu ye emibhili jemwe ati omufwala chinuki.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.

23Kulwokubha obhulame obhukila ebhilyo, no omubhili ogukila ebhifwalo.For life is more than food, and the body more than clothes.

24Mulole jinyonyi ja mulutumba, jitakulima nolwo jitakugesa. Jitali nanlusika nolwo echitala echo okubhikamo bhinu, nawe Esomwana kajilisha ebhilyo. Emwe mukondele okukili jinyonyi!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!

25Niga unu mwimwe unu katula okwongesha chita chimwi ku bhulame bhwaye?Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to his life?

26Mbe kalabha mutakutula okukola echinu chitoto changuile, mbe kubhaki okunyakilila agandi ago?So if you cannot do such a small thing, why do you worry about the rest?

27Mulole kutyo amatwasho agamela. Gatakukola milimu nolwo okusuka. Nawe enibhabhwila kutya, nolwo Selemani mwikusho lyaye lyona atafafwibhwe lwa limwi lya amatwasho ganu,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.

28ka labha Nyamuanga kafwafya kisi amatwasho ge emwila, ganu lelo galio, ka mutondo nigalaswa mumulilo. Atabhafwafya emwe kukila ago? Emwe abhalikilisha litoto!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!

29Musige okunyaka ati omulya chinuki amo ati omunywa chinuki, nolwo mwasiga okubha nolwo okuliyaya.And do not be concerned about what you will eat or drink. Do not worry about it.

30Kulwokubha amayanga gonna aga muchalo aganyakilila amagambo ago. Esomwana wemwe kamenya nkanikwo omugenda ago.For the Gentiles of the world strive after all these things, and your Father knows that you need them.

31Nawe mulonde okwamba obhukama bhwaye, agandi ago omuja okwongesibhwa,But seek His kingdom, and these things will be added unto you.

32Mwasiga kubhaya emwe liijo litoto, kulwokubha Esomwana akondelewe okubhayana emwe obhukama obhwo.Do not be afraid, little flock, for your Father is pleased to give you the kingdom.

33Mugushe jimali jemwe muyane abhataka, mwikolele emifuko jinu jitakuwelwa- ebhinu bhya mulwire bhinyantawa, eyo abhefi bhatakulebhelela nolwo amayenje gatakunyamula.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.

34Kulwokubha ao ili imali yao niwo no omwoyo gwao ghulibha.For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.

35Emyendya jemwe jindela mujibhoye no omushipi, na jitala jemwe jimalilile jibhega nijigendelela okwaka,Be dressed for service and keep your lamps burning.

36na mubhe lwa bhanu bhatengejee Omukama webhwe okusoka mubhulegesi, koleleki akakinga no okukonona, bhatule kwo obhwangu okumwigulila omulyango.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.

37Bhana libhando abhakosi bhemilimu, bhanu Lata Bhugenyi alisanga bhatengejee. Ni chimali alibhoya omwenda gwaye omulela kwo omusipi, neya nabheyanja ansi bhalye ebhilyo, namala nabhafulubhendela.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.

38Labha Lata Bhugenyi akakinga abhanu bhewetuyemo kabhili, nabhasanga bhamaliliye, mbe abhakosi abho abhabhona libhando.Even if he comes in the second or third watch of the night and finds them alert, those servants will be blessed.

39Ingulu yago, mumenye na linu, chisanga kanya nyumba amenyele isaa eyo omwifi kejilamo, atakekilisishe inyumba yaye ingililwe.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.

40Mbe mubhega mumaliliye kulwokubha ona mutakumenya nikatunguki ako Omwana wa Adamu alisubha.You also must be ready, because the Son of Man will come at an hour you do not expect.”

41Petro naika ati, “Lata Bhugenyi, oubhwia eswe bhenyele echijejekanyo bhinu, angu oubhwila bhuli munu?”“Lord,” said Peter, “are You addressing this parable to us, or to everyone else as well?”

42Omukama nabhabhwila ati, “Ni mugayaki unu amasishe amo owobhwengeso unu lata bhugenyi waye kamutula ingulu ya abhagaya abhandi, koleleki abhagabhile ebhilyo akatungu ko obhwana?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?

43Ana libhando omugaya unu alisangwa nakola kutyo alagiliwe.Blessed is that servant whose master finds him doing so when he returns.

44Nichimali enibhabhwila kutya alimutula ingulu ya jimali jaye jona.Truly I tell you, he will put him in charge of all his possessions.

45Nawe omugaya oyo akaika mumwoyo gwaye ati, omukulu wani akola okusubha; kulwejo namba okubhuma abhagaya bhechilume na abhechigasi, nio namba okulya, okunywa no okutamila,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.

46mbe lata Bhugenyi wo omugaya oyo alija olusiku na akatungu kanu atakumenya, kamutema bhibhala bhibhala namutula amwi na bhanu bhatali no obhwitonde bhwo okwikilishanya.”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.

47Omugaya unu kamenya akakoleye ka lata bugenyi waye, ka nasiga okwilosha nolwo okukola lwakutyo omukulu waye kenda, alibhumwa nsimbo nyafu.That servant who knows his master’s will but does not get ready or follow his instructions will be beaten with many blows.

48Nawe omugaya unu atakumenya akakoleye ko omukulu waye, nawe nakola kutyo ejendibhwa, alibhumwa nsimbo ntoto. Kulwokubha unu ayabhilwe bhyafu, alitongwa bhyafu okusoka kwaye, naunu asigiwe bhyafu kwo kwikilishanya, bhilitongwa bhafu okusoka kwaye.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.

49Mbe nijile okwakya omulilo muchalo, na enenda muno gubhe gwamalile okwaka!I have come to ignite a fire on the earth, and how I wish it were already kindled!

50Nawe nili nobhubhatijo obhwo kubhatijibhwa, na nisurumbaye okukingila ao bhwakakumile!But I have a baptism to undergo, and how distressed I am until it is accomplished!

51Enibhusha, umwiganilisha ati nijile okuleta omulembe muchalo? Pai, Enibhwabhila ati niletele obhutagani.Do you think that I have come to bring peace to the earth? No, I tell you, but division.

52Kwambila olyanu nokugendelela bhanu bhatanu munyumba imwi ousanga bhatasikene, ahasatu bhali lwebhwe na abhabhili bhali lwebhwe, abhabhili bhatasikene na abhasatu.From now on, five in one household will be divided, three against two and two against three.

53Bhalitagana, lata alitasikana no Omwana waye, no omwana alitasikana nesemwene, nyilamwene alitasikana no omuasha, na omuasha alibhayata atasikene na nyilamwene, Maibhuko alitasikana no omukamwana no omukamwana alitasikana na nyabhuko waye.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.”

54Yesu nabhwila na liijo ati, “Mukalola amele nigesunga ebhugwa, nimwaika ati 'akatungu kaing'ubha kakinga,' ka nikwo kutyo ejibha.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.

55Komuyaga gwa amalimbe gukayemba, nimwaika ati, 'Eija okubhayo imbita nyafu,' ka nikwo kutyo ejibha.And when the south wind blows, you say, ‘It will be hot,’ and it is.

56Emwe abhanafiki, omutula okugajula kutyo echalo no olutumba ebhibhonekana mumeso, nawe ejibha kutiki mutakumenya okugajula akatungu kaoli anu?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?

57Kubhaki bhuli munu abhule okusombola linu lilikisi kumwene na akalikola akatungu kanu ali nomwanya gwo kukola kutyo?And why don’t you judge for yourselves what is right?

58Kulwa insonga mukagenda naunu omusitakana imbele yo omulamusi, ikomesha mungwane naunu omusitakana nage muchali munjila ataja okusila kumulamusi, no omulamusi akakusila kumukulu we emilimu, no omukulu we emilimu akakulasa mulunyolo.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.

59Enaika ati, utakusokamo omwo okukingila uliye isenti yokumalisha.I tell you, you will not get out until you have paid the very last penny.”
