Luke 12 (ZAK) · Opened

1Eriibhaga riyo, ebhikwe kwe ebhikwe bhya abhaatu bhaari bhariikumania, tee bhakiitaza. Yeesu akataanga kubhabhuurira abhaanabheega bhaaye, “Mwiiriihe ne ekibhwiisya kya Abhafarisayo, kwo okubha orurimi ruyo, ruranyaragana kye ekibhwiisya.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.

2Kyokyoosi kino kikuundikirwe, kirakuundukurwa neemwe, kweeki kyokyoosi kino kibhisirwe, kirarorekana.There is nothing concealed that will not be disclosed, and nothing hidden that will not be made known.

3Amangʼana gano mugaambiri mukiirima, gariigweerwa mubhweero. Na amangʼana gano mwiimoonyereerye mumatwi mubhyuumba bhya muusi, mugarwaaze kubhweero okubha bhoosi bhiigwe.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“Emwe abhasaani bhaane, ndabhabhuurira mutoobhoha abhaatu bhano bhakwiita omubhiri. Hano bharaamare kwiita, bhatakunagya kukora kyokyoosi.I tell you, My friends, do not be afraid of those who kill the body and after that can do no more.

5Nawe, ndabhabhuurira wuno mukweenderwa kumwoobhoha, mumwoobhohe Taatabhugya! Hano akumara okumwiita omuutu, ano obhuturo bhwo okumutaasa mumuriro gwa nyaari. Wuyo mureenderwa mumwoobhohe, ewe omweene!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“Mumenyiri kubha ebhitorookobhwe bhitaano, bhiraguribhwa kwo obhuguri bhusuuhu bhukongʼu? Nawe, Taatabhugya atakukyeebha naabhe ekimwe kyaabhu.Are not five sparrows sold for two pennies? Yet not one of them is forgotten by God.

7Taatabhugya amenyiri obhubhari bhwe eziinzweeri zyoosi zye emitwe gyeenyu. Kweego, mutoobhoha, kwo okubha emwe muno obhuguri bhukuru kukira ebhitorookobhwe bhyaaru.And even the very hairs of your head are all numbered. So do not be afraid; you are worth more than many sparrows.

8“Enye ndabhabhuurira, omuutu wowoosi wuno akugaamba embere wa abhaatu kubha aniikiriirye enye, enye Omwaana wo Omuutu woosi ndamwiikirirya embere wa bhamaraika bha Taatabhugya.I tell you, everyone who confesses Me before men, the Son of Man will also confess him before the angels of God.

9Nawe, akunianga embere ya abhaatu, na neenye ndamwaanga embere ya bhamaraika bha Taatabhugya.But whoever denies Me before men will be denied before the angels of God.

10Taatabhugya aranagya okwaabhira abhaatu bhano bhakugaamba bhubhi iguru waane enye Omwaana wo Omuutu. Nawe, atakunagya okumwaabhira omuutu wuno akumutuka Ekoro Muhoreeru.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“Hano muraahirwe munyuumba ye esaango okutinirwa ekiina, ne embere ya abhakaangati, ne embere ya abhaanaangwa, mutiitiimaata. Mutabha ne ehaha iguru ya amangʼana gano muraagaambe kwo okwiibhagiirira,When you are brought before synagogues, rulers, and authorities, do not worry about how to defend yourselves or what to say.

12kwo okubha eriibhaga riyoriyo, Ekoro Muhoreeru araabheegye amangʼana gano mukweenderwa okugagaamba.”For at that time the Holy Spirit will teach you what you should say.”

13Musaango yiyo ya abhaatu, omuutu owumwe akamubhuurira Yeesu, “Omweegya, omubhuurire mura weetu, anitwaanire engabho yino taata akatutigira.”Someone in the crowd said to Him, “Teacher, tell my brother to divide the inheritance with me.”

14Yeesu akamukyoora, “Weewi akaanituura nibhe omutaania gati weenyu?”But Jesus replied, “Man, who appointed Me judge or executor between you?”

15Kweego Yeesu akabhabhuurira abhaatu bhayo, “Mwiiriihe ne enaamba ye ebhigiro, kwo okubha, obhuhoru bhwo omuutu, bhutakurweera kubhwaaru bhwe ebhigiro bhyaaye.”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.”

16Kweeki Yeesu akabhabhuurira ekireengyo, akabhuga, “Yaari ariho omuniibhi wumwe, no omuguundu gwaaye gukiibhura amagesa maaru bhukongʼu.Then He told them a parable: “The ground of a certain rich man produced an abundance.

17Akiibhuurya mukoro yaaye, ‘Bhoono nikorebhwi? Amagesa gano goosi ni gaane, nitana ahagiro hano ndaagatuure!’So he thought to himself, ‘What shall I do, since I have nowhere to store my crops?’

18“Kweego akabhuga, ‘Ndakora ego. Ndaasya ebhitara bhyaane no okuruka ebhikuru bhukongʼu. Muyo ndatuuramu amagesa gaane goosi, ne ebhigiro bhyaane ebhiindi.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.

19Kweeki ndiigaambira mukoro yaane, “Bhoono wiituuriiri ekibhuumbiko kye ebhigiro bhyaaru bhuzomu. Bhirakwiisa kumyaaka myaaru! Kimwe, muunya, orye na onywe, ozomererwe!” ’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, Taatabhugya akamubhuurira, ‘Awe ni mugeege! Obhutiku bhwa reero, orakwa! Na ebhigiro bhyoosi bhino wiibhuumbiiri, bhirabha bhyawi?’ ”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?’

21Yeesu akamara kwo okugaamba, “Niigo eraabhe, kumuutu wurya akwiibhuumbira ebhigiro bhye ebhibhi kwe ekigirirye kyaaye omweene, nawe kumahokya ge ebhigiro bhyaaye, atakumwiisiga Taatabhugya.”This is how it will be for anyone who stores up treasure for himself but is not rich toward God.”

22Ambe, Yeesu akabhabhuurira abhaanabheega bhaaye, “Mutabha no obhwiitiimaati iguru yo obhwiikari bhweenyu, etari iguru okuryaki kasi munyweki kasi mwiibhoheki.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.

23Ndora obhwiikari bhuna bhweera kukira ebhyaakurya, no omubhiri nagwe, guno obhweera bhukongʼu kukira emyeenda.For life is more than food, and the body more than clothes.

24“Mwiiseege ekireengyo kya bhanyamuko, bhatakweemya naabhe bhatakugesa, bhatana ekibhuumbiko naabhe ebhitara, nawe Taatabhugya arabhariisya. Na neemwe muno obhweera bhukongʼu kukira ebhinyonyi!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!

25Ni weewi gatigati weenyu wuno akunagya kwiiyoongerya naabhe esa yimwe mubhwiikari bhwaaye kwo obhwiitiimaati?Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to his life?

26Ambe! Mutakunagya kukora engʼana esuuhu kya yiyo, kwaki mutakwiitiimaata iguru wa agaandi?So if you cannot do such a small thing, why do you worry about the rest?

27“Murore ebhibharyo kyeego bhikubharya, bhitakukora emirimo na bhitakutuma emyeenda. Nawe ndabhabhuurira kubha, naabhe omutemi Soromooni mubhwaame bhwaaye bhwoosi, atiibhohiri bhuzomu kye ebhibharyo bhiyo!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.

28Kweego, niigo Taatabhugya arabhiibhohya kisi kye ebhibharyo bhya mwiitirigo, bhino bhiriho reero nawe tabhoori bhirarekerwa mumuriro, ni heene arabhiibhohya emwe, abhaatu bho obhwiikirirya bhusuuhu!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!

29“Kweego, mutiinyaakya muraryaki, kasi muranywaki, mutabha ne ehaha.And do not be concerned about what you will eat or drink. Do not worry about it.

30Amangʼana gayo goosi, abhaatu bhano bhatamumenyiri Taatabhugya bhariinyaakya nago. Wuuso weenyu wa mwiisaaro amenyiri kisi kubha mureenda gayo goosi.For the Gentiles of the world strive after all these things, and your Father knows that you need them.

31Nawe, mukore go obhutemi bhwa Taatabhugya, na arabhoongereererya ebhigiro bhiyo.But seek His kingdom, and these things will be added unto you.

32“Emwe eriihizo isuuhu, mutoobhoha, kwo okubha wuuso weenyu aseegiri kubhaha obhutemi bhwaaye.Do not be afraid, little flock, for your Father is pleased to give you the kingdom.

33Mugurye ebhigiro bhyeenyu, na mubhahe abhataka eziimbirya. Kwo okukora ego murabha mwiituuriiri eziihata zyeenyu mwiisaaro, hano bhitakusarika. Eyo, atariyo mwiibhi, naabhe eziisere zyo okubhisarya.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.

34Ahagiro hano mukubhiika eziihata zyeenyu, hayo niho ne eziikoro zyeenyu zikubha.For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.

35“Eriibhaga ryoosi, obhutiku no omwiisi, mubhe mwiibhanwiiri okumukorera Omukuru emirimo.Be dressed for service and keep your lamps burning.

36Mubhe kya abhahokya bhano bhakuganya omukuru waabhu akyoore kurwa mubhweenga. Hano araaze no okubhuga hanoo, na bhamwiigurire ekiseku rugeendo rumwe.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.

37Hakiriku ya abhagya bhano omukuru waabhu araabhabhone bharamuganya hano akuuza, bharabhona orubhaango. Ndabhabhuurira obhuheene, ariibhanura, arabhiikarya mwiigari, no okubhahokeerya!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.

38Hano omukuru araakyoore mubhutiku gati, ebhe etabhoori zuri, na akubhabhona bhamariri kwiibhanura, abhahokya bhayo bharabhona orubhaango.Even if he comes in the second or third watch of the night and finds them alert, those servants will be blessed.

39Nawe mumenye kisi kubha, kyeego mweene nyuumba yiingamenyiri eriibhaga rino omwiibhi akuuza, yaari ariibhanura, no omwiibhi atakusikira mumugye gwaaye yiibhe.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.

40Niigo ego, na neemwe mwiibhanure eriibhaga ryoosi, kwo okubha enye Omwaana wo Omuutu ndaaza kwiibhaga rino mutakwiisiga.”You also must be ready, because the Son of Man will come at an hour you do not expect.”

41Niho, Petero akamubhuurya Yeesu, “Ee Omukuru, ekireengyo kino otubhuuriiri, ni kweetwe abheene, kasi ni kwa abhaatu bhoosi?”“Lord,” said Peter, “are You addressing this parable to us, or to everyone else as well?”

42Yeesu akamukyoora, “Ni weewi omuhokya omwiikirirya na wa amangʼeeni? Ni mubhagati wuno omukuru waaye amutuuriri abhe omwiimeerereri wa abhabhagati abhaandi munyuumba yaaye, okubha abhe arabhaha ebhyaakurya kwe eriibhaga rino rikweenderwa.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?

43Omukuru waabhu araakyoore kurwa orugeendo, no okumubhona omugya wuyo arakora ego, niho araabhone orubhaango.Blessed is that servant whose master finds him doing so when he returns.

44Ndabhabhuurira obhuheene, omukuru waaye aramukora abhe omwiimeerereri we ebhigiro bhyaaye bhyoosi.Truly I tell you, he will put him in charge of all his possessions.

45“Nawe eraabhe omugya wuyo ni mubhiihu, akwiiseega mukoro yaaye, ‘Omukuru waane akezeeri bhukongʼu kukyoora,’ niho yataangiri kubhatema abhabhagati abharikyaaye, abhasubhe na abhakari, akarya no okunywa, tee akagwaatwa.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.

46Niho, omukuru waaye araakyoore kurwa orugeendo, araaza orusiku runo omugya atakumwiiseegera eriibhaga rino atamenyiri. Niho omukuru waaye aramutema bhukongʼu, no okumutuura hamwe na bhano bhatari abhiikirirya.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“Omugya wuno amenyiri obhuseegi bhwo omukuru waaye, nawe atiibhanwiiri kwo okugakora kyeego akweenderwa, aratemwa bhukongʼu.That servant who knows his master’s will but does not get ready or follow his instructions will be beaten with many blows.

48Nawe, omuhokya wuno atamenyiri obhuseegi bhwo omukuru, araakore eriingʼana rino rikweenderwa aratemwa, ewe aratemwa hasuuhu. Omuutu wuno aheerwe bhyaaru, aratunibhwa bhyaaru, no omuutu wuno aheerwe bhyaaru bhukongʼu, aratunibhwa bhyaaru bhukongʼu.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“Enye niiziri mukyaaro hano okuheemba omuriro. Na niingaseegiri nirore omuriro guyo gwaakiri!I have come to ignite a fire on the earth, and how I wish it were already kindled!

50Nawe enye omweene, nireenderwa nihitire engʼaanga yino tee oruku. Nine enyaako ekuru yino niisuungʼaaniri tee niikuunaanie.But I have a baptism to undergo, and how distressed I am until it is accomplished!

51Awee, muriiseega kubha niiziri mukyaaro okureeta omureembe? Zeyi! Ndabhabhuurira, niiziri okwaahura abhaatu.Do you think that I have come to bring peace to the earth? No, I tell you, but division.

52Okutaanga bhoono, munyuumba ya abhaatu bhataano, bhatatu bhariiyaahura kubhabhiri. Bhabhiri nabho, bhariiyaahura kubhatatu.From now on, five in one household will be divided, three against two and two against three.

53Wiise arataamania no omwaana waaye, no omwaana woosi, arataamania na wiise waabhu. Nina arataamania no omuukya waaye, no omuukya woosi arataamania na nina waabhu. Inyibhyaara ariiyaahura no omukamwaana waaye, no omukamwaana woosi, arataamania ni inyibhyaara.”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.”

54Okumara Yeesu akabhuurira eziisaango zya abhaatu, “Hano mukurora amasaaro gararweera nyaanza, niho muraabhuge, ‘Embura eri haguhi kutweeka,’ na heene niigo eraabhe.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 hano mukurora obhukama bhurarweera maamu, murabhuga, ‘Harabha no orwooya,’ na niigo ekubha.And when the south wind blows, you say, ‘It will be hot,’ and it is.

56Emwe bhabheehi! Ni kwaki mumenyiri bhuzomu eriibhaga ryo omwaaka, nawe mutakunagya okumenyeekererya obhugazuro bhwa amangʼana gano gakukorwa eziisiku zino?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“Na kwaki, emwe abheene mutakutina ebhiina okukora gano gakweenderwa?And why don’t you judge for yourselves what is right?

58Hano omuzoongeri waazo akukuhira mukiina, kora omukya okwiigwaana neewe mukyaari munzira. Okore ego, ataaza kukuhikya embere yo omutini we ekiina, wuno araakuhire kumusirikare, okubha akusikirye munyuumba ya abhabhohwa kwa nguru.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.

59Ndakubhuurira obhuheene, otakurwamu tee hano oraamare okuriha esiiri yoosi!”I tell you, you will not get out until you have paid the very last penny.”
