Luke 12 (YMP) · Opened

1Hêndêng wakma êng me avîlanô bêng anông bomang ethak tom be êyô eva veŋing long. Me Yisu henang ethak ya ŋa hîndông nena, “Môlô yaŋging am ethak Palisi ning kombom kambom. Loho thak evong îtôm ŋa mavî hîmô avîlanô lîvông, metom auk lomaloma hîmô kapôlôŋing. Nôm êng me hîtôm yis be tem nêmbôv avîlanô bêng anông.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.

2Nôm takatu be hivuŋi hêk long kapô me tem nimbutak yêing. Me ambô takatu be hivuŋi me tem avîlanô sapêng eyala.There is nothing concealed that will not be disclosed, and nothing hidden that will not be made known.

3Bêng be ambô takatu be môlô nang hêndêng bîlîvông me tem avîlanô endaŋô êndêng lêkwak. Me ambô takatu be môlô nang thîkôthîk hîlôk melak kapô, êng me tem emba melak vôv be endam bêng ini yêing.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“Yînîng avîlanô, ya hanang ethak môlô nena dô ôkô avîlanô andô. Loho hîtôm iŋgik lemvim kôpik yom vônô. Me heveng yam me tem mî hîtôm embong nômate amî.I tell you, My friends, do not be afraid of those who kill the body and after that can do no more.

5Metom tem yaŋgik ôpatu be tem môlô kô inda thô. Ôpêng me Wapômbêng yom. Yêni hîtôm niŋgik anô te vônô yôvêm me nîmbî ôpêng îndôk amela lêkmala. Be ditu ya hanang ethak môlô nena ôkô Wapômbêng yom.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!

6“Avîlanô thak êv vuli menak yaônena hethak valuseleng lêkma yi. Metom Wapômbêng mî hîtôm laŋgêv menak takêng te thing amî.Are not five sparrows sold for two pennies? Yet not one of them is forgotten by God.

7Avanông bing, bôk yêni hiwa môlô sapêng kwandôk ŋaung thô yôv. Bêng be môlô me bêng vo menak be ditu dô môlô kô andô.And even the very hairs of your head are all numbered. So do not be afraid; you are worth more than many sparrows.

8“Ya hanang ethak môlô nena opalê atu be henang ethak avîlanô nena yêni me yînîng, me Anô Ya Nakandung atu tem nenang emba Wapômbêng mandaluk be aŋêla endaŋô nena, ‘Ôpêng me yînîng.’I tell you, everyone who confesses Me before men, the Son of Man will also confess him before the angels of God.

9Me ôpatu be henang ethak avîlanô nena hêndô ya, me tem ya nang emba Wapômbêng mandaluk be aŋêla endaŋô nena, ‘Ya hathông ôpêng paling.’But whoever denies Me before men will be denied before the angels of God.

10Me anô te henang ambô kambom hethak Anô Ya Nakandung atu, me tem Wapômbêng êŋgêv ôpêng ya kambom vê. Metom anô te hêyê Lovak Matheng ya ku be henang ambôma hethak nena, ‘Diti me Sakdang ya ku,’ êng me Wapômbêng tem mî nêŋgêv ôpêng ya kambom êng vê amî.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“Avîlanô evalong môlô hêk be iwa ê êyô melak yeng mena ethaŋang môlô heva ŋa bêŋbêng maleŋing mena ŋa lêk athêng bêng maleŋing, êng me dô môlô kô be lemim êŋgêv nena, ‘Tem yoô nang bisête?’ mena ‘anang viyang bisê?’ Mî.When you are brought before synagogues, rulers, and authorities, do not worry about how to defend yourselves or what to say.

12Hêndêng wakma êng yom me Lovak Matheng tem nêŋgêv auk êndêng môlô be onang.”For at that time the Holy Spirit will teach you what you should say.”

13Anô te heva avîlanô nômbêng atu lîvông me henang ethak Yisu nena, “Kîdôŋga, wakamik bôk ema yôv be ditu nonang ethak aiyang bêng vo nîmbî wakamik ya nômkama tham ni ondong yi be nêŋgêv yînîng êndêng ya.”Someone in the crowd said to Him, “Teacher, tell my brother to divide the inheritance with me.”

14Metom Yisu henang hethak ôpêng nena, “Aiyang, opalête hîtôk ya vo yambutak mamu ning jas?”But Jesus replied, “Man, who appointed Me judge or executor between you?”

15Me Yisu henang ethak avîlanô nena, “Môlô yaŋging am katô vo dô malemim daŋtang ethak nômkama lomaloma andô. Anô te hiwa nômkama bêng anông metom yêni da mî hîtôm nimbua lêkmala ethak ya nômkama takêng te amî.”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.”

16Yôv me henang ambô dôhô te hêndêng loho nena, “Anô lêk valuseleng bêng te ya nôm ik anông bêng anông heveng kukapô.Then He told them a parable: “The ground of a certain rich man produced an abundance.

17Êng me yêni henang ethak yêni da nena, ‘Tem yambong ômbête? Ya long ya tak yînîng nôm îmô mî.’So he thought to himself, ‘What shall I do, since I have nowhere to store my crops?’

18Me yêni henang nena, ‘Bêng be dô me yambong bêŋiti. Yandining yînîng melak sapêng be yandav melak lêkmuk bêŋbêng vo yandô yînîng nôm lêk nômkama sapêng îmô kapô.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.

19Me tem ya nang ethak ya da nena, “Lêk yôv! Yînîng nômkama bêng anông hîmô be tem yaŋgang be ya num me ya mô mavî yom îtôm sondakbêng nômbêng iti. Me mî hîtôm yambong ku te amî.” ’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“Metom Wapômbêng henang ethak ôpêng nena, ‘Ong anô molo! Bîlîvông iti me tem yambua yong lêkmala vê be nôma. Me opalê tem nimbua nômkama takatu be hopesang vo ong da?’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“Bêng yom be malêing iti tem nimbutak avîlanô takatu be ithining nômkama bêng anông vo loho da hêk pîk metom loho da me nômkama mî hêk Wapômbêng mandaluk.”This is how it will be for anyone who stores up treasure for himself but is not rich toward God.”

22Me Yisu henang ethak ya ŋa hîndông bêng nena, “Lêkmala me bêng vo nôm eyang. Me leŋving kôpik me bêng vo kwêv lo thôp. Be diti ya hanang ethak môlô nena, dô lemim êŋgêv nômkama pîk lomaloma bêng anông îtôm nôm lêk thôp andô.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.

24Môlô lemim êŋgêv menak nômbêng iti. Loho thak mî evatho nôm be iwa ya anông amî. Lêk loho ning melak lêk balê etak nôm îmô mî. Metom Wapômbêng thak hevakông loho. Be ditu Wapômbêng la hiving môlô bêng anông hîvô hethak vo menak be tem neyaŋging môlô mavî.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!

25Be ditu lemim ik am ethak nômate me nôm êng mî hîtôm netak wakma te oyang êyômô môlô ning lêkmala long imbing amî. Mî anông.Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to his life?

26Môlô mî hîtôm ombong nôma yaôna te bêŋiti amî. Me hevong bisête be môlô lemim ik am ethak nômkama bêng vi hiving?So if you cannot do such a small thing, why do you worry about the rest?

27“Lemim êŋgêv thiling vuak. Loho ivutak bisête? Loho thak mî evong ku lêk epesang ining thôp amî. Metom ya hanang ethak môlô nena thiling vuak mavî takêng ining wamba leleyang hîvô hethak vo King Solomon ya wamba leleyang lomaloma sapêng.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.

28Bêng be Wapômbêng hêv wamba mavî mavî hêndêng kamung lomaloma takatu be lêk aô yê, metom yamông me tem îmbôk ethak amela. Me môlô me bêng îvô hethak vo kamung takêng, be ditu Wapômbêng tem nêŋgêv wamba bêng anông êndêng môlô imbing. Alitaknena, môlô ning ôêv iving mî bêng amî.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!

29Be dô kapôlômim iŋgik am be othalo nena oŋgwang ômbê mena unum ômbê andô.And do not be concerned about what you will eat or drink. Do not worry about it.

30Vômbê nena ŋa pîk thak leŋiŋhiki be ethalo nôm takêng, metom môlô ning Kamik heyala nôm takatu be môlô êvyak ethak.For the Gentiles of the world strive after all these things, and your Father knows that you need them.

31Be ditu môlô lemim iŋgik am vo othalo Wapômbêng ya lêkliŋyak bêng, me tem nêŋgêv nôm takêng sapêng êndêng môlô imbing.But seek His kingdom, and these things will be added unto you.

32“Môlô boksipsip ondong yaôna, dô môlô kô andô. Môlô ning Kamik la mavî vo nêŋgêv ya lêkliŋyak bêng êndêng môlô.Do not be afraid, little flock, for your Father is pleased to give you the kingdom.

33Be ditu uwa valuseleng hethak môlô ning nômkama me ôŋgêv êndêng ŋa siv. Ovong bêng me tem umbua vak valuseleng atu be hîmô wak nômbêng iti. Vak valuseleng êng me nômkama kêkêlô lomaloma atu be hîmô melak leng be ya dang mî. Melak leng me anô te mî hîtôm nimbua nômate vanî mena sepbidi mî hîtôm imbuling nômate amî.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.

34Vômbê nena long alê atu be môlô ning nômkama kêkêlô mavî hîmô, long êng yom ditu tem môlô kapôlômim îmô imbing.For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.

35“Môlô pesang am be ombong ku me upuk môlô ning kwak be ôtôm môlô ning lam be oyaŋging îmôBe dressed for service and keep your lamps burning.

36hîtôm avîlanô ku takatu be eyaŋging ining anômbêng îmô. Loho ning anômbêng êng bôk hê vo heyang nôm iwa avî yôvêm me tem nîmbôlêm ethak loŋbô. Wakma hîvô lêm ya long be hipindinding melak ambôlêk me tem iŋgik melak ambôlêk kê ketheng be imbua yêni thô.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.

37Me Mavî vo ŋa ku takatu be ining anômbêng êng hêyô be hêyê nena loho îmô lêlê be eyaŋging yêni hîmô. Ya hanang avanông ethak môlô nena anômbêng êng tem nipuk ya kwak ku me nenang vo loho îndôk îmô elawê balê me tem nêŋgêv nôm êndêng loho îtôm anô ku te.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.

38Anômbêng hele hêlêm hêndêng bîlîvông bing mena lêkbôk momaŋaning ma be hêyê ya ŋa ku mî êkthôm amî me eyaŋging yêni hîmô, êng me Mavî vo loho.Even if he comes in the second or third watch of the night and finds them alert, those servants will be blessed.

39“Môlô lemim êŋgêv ambô ti katô. Melak te ya alang helaŋô ambô nena ŋa vanî tem ende ya melak kê, êng me yêni hêk lêlê vo ŋa vanî mî hîtôm ende melak êng kê amî.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.

40Bêng be ditu môlô mô lêlê imbing, vômbê nena Anô Ya Nakandung atu tem nendelêm êndêng wakma atu be môlô thông paling be môlô pîndîk kambom.”You also must be ready, because the Son of Man will come at an hour you do not expect.”

41Me Pita henang nena, “Anômbêng, hôêv ambô dôhô ti hêndêng yoô yom mesa hôêv êndêng avîlanô sapêng hiving?”“Lord,” said Peter, “are You addressing this parable to us, or to everyone else as well?”

42Êng me Anômbêng henang nena, “Ya hanang vo ôpatu be hevong ya anômbêng ya ku mavî hîtôm anô lêkauk bêng atu be heyaŋging nômkama mavî. Melak alang hetak yêni vo neyaŋging ya ŋa ku be nêŋgêv nôm êndêng loho îtôm wakma atu be hîtôk.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?

43Me Mavî vo anô ku êng hêndêng wakma atu be melak alang hîvô lêm hethak loŋbô be hêyê nena hevong ku êng hîmô.Blessed is that servant whose master finds him doing so when he returns.

44Ya hanang avanông ethak môlô nena melak alang êng tem netak ôpêng vo neyaŋging ya nômkama sapêng.Truly I tell you, he will put him in charge of all his possessions.

45Metom anô ku êng la hêv hêk kapô nena, ‘Lêk bôô anông me mî yînîng anômbêng îmbôlêm ketheng amî.’ Êng me hik avîlanô ku me heyang nôm lêk hinum waing bêng anông hele be helo molo.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.

46Hevong bêng îmô be hîthông paling me melak alang êyô be ôpêng îpîndîk kambom. Êng me melak alang tem nêŋgêv vovang bêng êndêng ôpêng me nêndô inda îmô imbing ŋa liŋdong kôtông.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“Anô ku atu be heyala ya anômbêng ya la hiving metom mî hevong nômkama hîtôm ya anômbêng ya la hiving amî me tem nimbua vovang bêng.That servant who knows his master’s will but does not get ready or follow his instructions will be beaten with many blows.

48Metom anô ku atu be mî heyala ya anômbêng ya la hiving amî be hevong nômkama kambom me tem nimbua vovang yaô. “Me avîlanô takatu be iwa nômkama bêng anông, êng me Wapômbêng la hiving lohombong ku bêng anông ethak. Me avîlanô be iwa nômkama bêng anông be eyaŋging, êng me Wapômbêng la hiving loho tak bêng anông êyô long imbing be embong ku bêng anông ethak.”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.

49Yisu henang ambô dôhô te nena, “Ya halêm vo yambî amela îndôk pîk. Me ya leng hiving anông nena amela êng ethang ketheng oyang.I have come to ignite a fire on the earth, and how I wish it were already kindled!

50Metom tem ya thik ŋanam te atu be lêk mî ya thik amî denang. Ŋanam êng me vovang lêk malêing bêng anông be tem ya kapôlông malêing bêng anông embeng endebe nîndôk yandang.But I have a baptism to undergo, and how distressed I am until it is accomplished!

51Me môlô song nena ya halêm pîk vo yambong avîlanô kapôlôŋing îndôk bing e? Mî anông! Ya hanang ethak môlô nena ya halêm vo yambak loho kê.Do you think that I have come to bring peace to the earth? No, I tell you, but division.

52Yaô be nembeng yam me avîlanô bahevi nang melak te tem embak i kê ni ondong yi be lokwaŋlô tem ende dômîng lîlîng êndêng lokwaŋyi, me lokwaŋyi tem ende dômîng lîlîng êndêng lokwaŋlô.From now on, five in one household will be divided, three against two and two against three.

53Me tem embak i kê be lambô tem nende dôm lîlîng êndêng namalô, me namalô tem nende dôm lîlîng êndêng lambô, me talêmbô tem nende dôm lîlîng êndêng nalavî, me nalavî tem nende dôm lîlîng êndêng talêmbô, me yaŋavî tem nende dôm lîlîng êndêng namalô yanavî, me namalô yanavî tem nende dôm lîlîng êndêng yaŋavî.”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.”

54Me Yisu henang ethak avîlanô nômbêng atu bêŋiti, “Thak môlô yê mavông loŋgavu hîmô long wak hê hîlôk, êng me môlô nang nena, ‘Ôthîng tem niŋgik êyô.’ Yôv me ôthîng thak hik êyô.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.

55Me lovak hêlêm nang vi anông me thak môlô nang nena, ‘Tem tak vovang.’ Yôv me thak tak vovang.And when the south wind blows, you say, ‘It will be hot,’ and it is.

56Môlô avîlanô ambô yôhîng. Môlô yê leng lo pîk be ôêv ya ondong lelalîlîng be oyala katôyang, metom wakma lêk iti me môlô thông ya ondong paling.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“Me bisête be môlô mî ôêv am lelalîlîng be oyala katô nena ômbête me mavî vo ombong?And why don’t you judge for yourselves what is right?

58Ondaŋô! Yong ŋakyo te hevong vo nembong ambô vo ong be hiwa ong be hê melak embong ambô. Be mamu veng loŋdaŋlê hê denang, êng me nopesang ambô imbing yêni ketheng.

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.

59Ya hanang ethak ong nena tem nômô kalaondong endebe nôŋgêv yong vuli mena tôp viyang atu be etak sapêng êm.”I tell you, you will not get out until you have paid the very last penny.”
