Luke 12 (SBK) · Opened

1Wakati owo amabungano nabhatangene elfu elfu hata bhakhanyanaga, ahandile abhabhole asambe leziwa bhakwe nantele, “Hwilindi ne chachu eya Mafarisayo ambayo 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.

2Lelo nalimo izu lyalifisishe lyasalyaibhonaha wala lyalifisilye lyaselyayi julihana. Eshi gagonti gamuyanjile hunkisi gabhahwovwehwe pawelele.There is nothing concealed that will not be disclosed, and nothing hidden that will not be made known.

3Na gamuyanjile mmakutu mwa bhantu katika mpanda ezya mhati gayitu mbele wa pamwanya eye golu.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.

4Nane ambabhola amwa rafiki bhane, mgaje bhaogapa ebho bhabhagoga oele afwanaje baada eyeso sebhanowezo abhombe zaidi.I tell you, My friends, do not be afraid of those who kill the body and after that can do no more.

5Lelo embabhasunda owahumwogope. Mwogopaji ola ambaye nkashele wagoga omntu anakwezo huponye hujehanamu. Antele embabhola mwogapaji 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!

6Nkashe mshomolo gasanu segakatiwa husenti zibhele? Wala sebhahwewehwa hata om hwitagalila elya Ngolobhe.Are not five sparrows sold for two pennies? Yet not one of them is forgotten by God.

7Lelo hata lisisi eya mwi atwa genyu zibhaziwe zyonti, mganje ahwa gape esho. Nafu amwe ashile amashomolo gaminji.And even the very hairs of your head are all numbered. So do not be afraid; you are worth more than many sparrows.

8Nane embabhola, nkashele yayineteha hwitagalile elya bhantu, omwana owa Adamu wapa ayihumweteha hwitagalila elya malaika owa Ngolobhe.I tell you, everyone who confesses Me before men, the Son of Man will also confess him before the angels of God.

9Wape wahana hwitagalila elya bhantu, oyo ayikhanwa hwitagalila elya malaika owa Ngolobhe.But whoever denies Me before men will be denied before the angels of God.

10Na shila mntu yayiyanga enongwa juu ya omwana wa Adamu, ayisajilwa, nkashele yayihuliga opepo uzelu sagayisajilwa.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.

11Nabhayibhatwala amwe hwitagalila elye mabhanza, na hwaliwali na hwaongozi, msazugumile asebhe enongwa zyenyu shamwayigalula au ayanje,When you are brought before synagogues, rulers, and authorities, do not worry about how to defend yourselves or what to say.

12afwanaje opepo ozeru ayibhasambelezya, esaa zyezyo zyazihwaziwa aziyanje.”For at that time the Holy Spirit will teach you what you should say.”

13Omntu omo katika mabungano wabhola, “Sambelezi bhole oholo wane angabhile vulithi wetu.”Someone in the crowd said to Him, “Teacher, tell my brother to divide the inheritance with me.”

14Wabhola, womntu awe, wenu yambeshele ane aje endi watazanye au wagabhanya juu yenyu?But Jesus replied, “Man, who appointed Me judge or executor between you?”

15Wabhabhola enyaji, hwilindaji no wimi afwanaje owomi wamntu sauhuvintu evinji evya mntu vyu unavyo.”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.”

16Wabhabhola eshilale wayanga ogonda ogwa mntu omo otajili lyali lipepe tee,Then He told them a parable: “The ground of a certain rich man produced an abundance.

17wanda asebhe humwoyo gwakwe, wayanga, embombo wele, afwanaje sendi nupabheshe eshanga eshe viyabho vyane?So he thought to himself, ‘What shall I do, since I have nowhere to store my crops?’

18Wayanga embabhombe eshi, embabozolanye evyanga vyane, ezenje eshamwabho eshi gosi tee, nomwo embabheshe evyelewa vyane vyonti nevintu vyane.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.

19Nantele, nayihwibhozya, awe womwoyo gwane olinevintu evinza vinji vyo hwibheye mbuto humaha gaminji. Toyo eshi, alye, omwele, osongwe.”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!”’

20Lelo Ongolobhe wabhozya, olilema awe, osiku ou owasanyono bhahwanza owomi waho, nevintu vyohwibhesheye vibhabhe vyananu?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?’

21Shesho shali omntu yahwibheye omwoyo gwakwe mbuto, asahwitajilisye hwa Ngolobhe.This is how it will be for anyone who stores up treasure for himself but is not rich toward God.”

22Wabhabhola asambelezwa bhakwe, afwatana nesho embabhozya mgaje ahwihangayishile amayisha genyu__mbhalya yenu wala amabele genyu mbhakwate yenu.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.

23Afwanaje amayisha gazaidieyeshu lya nobele zaidi yemenda.For life is more than food, and the body more than clothes.

24Bhasebhaji enkogolo eyaje sebhato tuwala sebhayabhila, seline shanga wa eshitala, no Ngolobhe abhalisya, mrinafu amwe shila enyonyi!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!

25Yonanu hwilimwe yabhajiye ahwi ngayisye nawezye ahwiyonjezye otali wakwe hata okhono gumo?Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to his life?

26Eshi nkashele semwezizye hata lizu lyalili lidodo, yenu mhwiyazya kwajili yegamwabho?So if you cannot do such a small thing, why do you worry about the rest?

27Gasebhelaji amawowa ejinsi shamela segahuhambo embombo wala segabhilinga, neane embubhola yaje hata Osulemani katika efahali yakwe yonti saga kwatiziwe shinza kama neshe eyego,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.

28Eshi nkebhe Ongolobhe akwatizya eshi amasole agamwipali, gagali sanyo no na sandabho gatagwa papepe. Je sagayibhabhombela amwe? Enyi amwe mwemli imani endodo!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!

29Amwe msahwanza shamwayilya wala shamwaimwele wala mgaje abhombe nowoga.And do not be concerned about what you will eat or drink. Do not worry about it.

30Afwanaje egogonti ebhamnsi omu. Lelo o yise wenyu amenye aje mganza ego.For the Gentiles of the world strive after all these things, and your Father knows that you need them.

31Eshi anzaji omwene owa NGOLOBHE, nego mwayonjezewa,But seek His kingdom, and these things will be added unto you.

32Mganje hwogope, amwe mwikundi idodo, afanaje oYise wenyu alolile shinza abhapele ula oumwene.Do not be afraid, little flock, for your Father is pleased to give you the kingdom.

33Kazi vyamlinavyo mfumye sadaka, hwibheshalaji amafuko yasagalala—embuto yasepogoha, humwanya pasaga afiha omwibha wala no ndo sana nkaya.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.

34Afanaje embuto yenyu, pehweli pagayibha gahweli na moyo genyu.For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.

35Amasana genyu gabhe gapinyilya nehozyo, zyenyu zibhe zihwaha,Be dressed for service and keep your lamps burning.

36Namwe bhanji neshe abhantu bhabhahugolezya OGOSI wabho naiwela afume huweji, ili na hwenza na khome ehodi bhamwigulile.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.

37Nafu asontezewa bhala, ambao OGOSI wabho nayenza ayibhaga bhagonezezye. Eteshi embabhola abhahwipinye nabhakaribizye pa shalye, ayenza nabhavwe.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.

38Nankayenze olyondizanyo olwa bhele, au nkayenza olwandiznyo olwatatu nabhaje eshi, nafu ontezewa ebho.Even if he comes in the second or third watch of the night and finds them alert, those servants will be blessed.

39Lelo mmanye, izu eli, aje omwane sho nyumba agamenye esaa ya bhahwenze omwibha, handa agone zyezye, wala handa sagaleshele enyumba yakwe ebozolwe.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.

40Namwe hwibhehaji tayari afwanaje esaa yasagammenye shesho sha hwenza omwana wa Adamu.You also must be ready, because the Son of Man will come at an hour you do not expect.”

41OPetro wabhola, “GOSI, eshilale esho otibholele tele wene, au abhantu bhonti antele?“Lord,” said Peter, “are You addressing this parable to us, or to everyone else as well?”

42OGOSI wayanga, “Wenu eshi yali mtunzaji mwinza yali nebusara ambaye ogosi wakuwe abhahubheshe bhombambombo wakwe wonti, abhapele abhantu eposho huwakati wakwe?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?

43Nafu osontezi ola, ambaye gosi wakwe nahwenza awahumwaje abhomba esho.Blessed is that servant whose master finds him doing so when he returns.

44Lyoli embabhola abhahubheshe juu yevintu vyakwe vyonti.Truly I tell you, he will put him in charge of all his possessions.

45Lelo osontelezewa ola nkayanje humwoyo gwakwe, “OGOSI wane wakhala ahwenze wanda; abhakhome aholo bhakwe, alume na bhashe, alya na mwele na kholwe,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.

46Ogosi wakwe otumwa oyo ayenza isiku lyasategemeye nesaa yasayimenye, abhahudumranye evipande vibhele nahubheshe ifungu lyakwe pandwemo na bhasaga bhalino lyeteho'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.

47No tumwa, ola yagamenye omapenzi ga gosi wakwe, sahwibhe tayari wala agabhombe amapenzi gakwe, ayikhomwa tee.That servant who knows his master’s will but does not get ready or follow his instructions will be beaten with many blows.

48No ola yasagamenye wape abhombile gagahwanziwa akhomwe, akhomwa hashe. Na shila yapewewe evinji, hwamwahale oyo bhanza wanze vivinji, wape wabhesheye amana evintu evinji hwamwahale oyo wabhanza ahwanze zaidi.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.

49Enenzere aponye omwoto pansi, na nkashile gwandue ahwanshe lyenu lyehwanza zaidi,I have come to ignite a fire on the earth, and how I wish it were already kindled!

50Lelo endi no wonzwe wauhwanziwa ahwoziwe, nene endi namalabha neshe eyenu ili gatimizwe!But I have a baptism to undergo, and how distressed I am until it is accomplished!

51Eshi! mwadhani eyaje enenzele alete eamani? Pansi, embabhola, la seshashesho eshi Mafarakano.Do you think that I have come to bring peace to the earth? No, I tell you, but division.

52Afwanaje afume eshi enyumba emo bhayibha abhantu bhasanu bhavisenye, bhantu hwabhabhele, bhabhele hwa bhantu.From now on, five in one household will be divided, three against two and two against three.

53Bhayivisanya, oYise no mwana no mwana no Yise wakwe, onyino no lendu wakwe, khoyi wakwe, okhamwana no khamwana wa mntu.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.”

54Wabhabhola amabungano nantele, “Shila namlola ibhengo nkalifumile oupanda wa magharibi tiyanga, evula ehwenza, ibha shesho,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.

55Na shila nevugula hukuskazini, liyanga, hubhabhe nilyoto, na shashi hweli.And when the south wind blows, you say, ‘It will be hot,’ and it is.

56Amwe mwanafiki, mmenye atambule amaso agensine mwanya, shiliwele eshi abhe semumenye atambule amajira ega?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?

57Na mbona amwe mwemwe hunafsi zyenu semu hwamla gagali gelyoli?And why don’t you judge for yourselves what is right?

58Eshi namulongozenye no mshitaki waho abhale hwa lonzi, epo pidala bhomba ebidii akondane nawo, asabhe agaburuzya mpaka hwitagalila elya lonzi, ola olonzi wakhata mmakhono gakwe, hwamwenesho yagalipizya nola owalipizye asije agafunga mwijela.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.

59Ehubhola, sofuma omwo nkahashe hata omale asombe esenti eya mwisho.I tell you, you will not get out until you have paid the very last penny.”
