Luke 12 (ZGAM) · Opened

1Khu nsikhi ugwa amakhindiga ga vanu valundamane pupaninye nu khukhadana, akhatengula ukhunchova na vakhongi va mwene tasi, mwilolelage ni khiluve ikya Vafarisayo avuvene, “Viva vanyalubedo”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.

2Sapakhave ne siri iyifihime iyiyo sayigubatuliwe, nikhunu khikyo khikhafihime, khile khe ukhuvonekha.There is nothing concealed that will not be disclosed, and nothing hidden that will not be made known.

3Linio lola ilyumwa nchovaga vumilimuhisi, pulipuli khikha vulimu ndumuli. Nu vavenchaga vumukhu ganchova mumbulukhutu igati mu nyumba nchenyo ivikhungiwe filanchovaga khu kyanya khu nyumba.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.

4Nikhuvavulamincha vayangamula dwadaga avibuda umbili, ulwakhuva va livuvule ukhinu ikya khuvomba,I tell you, My friends, do not be afraid of those who kill the body and after that can do no more.

5Lino nikhuva vunga uvakhu dwada. Mudwadage ula uvuyakhiva ibuda nu anayelweli woni nu khutaga khujehanamu. Kweli, nikhuvavula umwe mudwadage ujwua.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!

6limo shamoro5 savigunchi wa kundalama ivili? Pu asikhuli numo uvi yakhuva ga Nguluve.Are not five sparrows sold for two pennies? Yet not one of them is forgotten by God.

7Lino pu mulumanye ukhuta, injweli ncha twe gwinyo nchivaliwe mulwadwadaga. Umwe mulivavaha nukhu dwanchiwa. Khuvuvaha khisita ishomoro inyinyingi.And even the very hairs of your head are all numbered. So do not be afraid; you are worth more than many sparrows.

8Nikhuva, vula uviavenchoga uviyakhiva ikhunjidikha une khumiho ga vanu, nu Mwana va Adamu ayikhumwidikha khumiho ga vasung'wa va Nguluve.I tell you, everyone who confesses Me before men, the Son of Man will also confess him before the angels of God.

9Umunu uvavenchaga uviyakhiva inchova ilimenyu ilivivi khu mwana va Adamu, ayisikhiliwa,But whoever denies Me before men will be denied before the angels of God.

10lino uvavenchaga, uviibeda khu mepo umbalanche, sakhasyekhiliwe.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.

11Vuyakhiva vikhuvahilikha khuvulongolo khu vavaha avasinagogi, na vatwa na vakhilunga mulwadwada nu khu nchova nu khunchova vu mukhitetela,When you are brought before synagogues, rulers, and authorities, do not worry about how to defend yourselves or what to say.

12khikyo mwinchova, Pu umepo umbalanche ayikhuva manyisya umwa khunchovela khu sikhi ugwa.”For at that time the Holy Spirit will teach you what you should say.”

13Umunu umo nu lulundamano akhambula, “Umanyisi, umbule ulukhololwango angavile uluvafu lwango.”Someone in the crowd said to Him, “Teacher, tell my brother to divide the inheritance with me.”

14U Yisu akhanda, veni uviambikhile ukhuva indamunchi nu khulihava imbulongolo winyo?But Jesus replied, “Man, who appointed Me judge or executor between you?”

15Pu akha vavula, mwilolelage mu mhombo iya vunogwe, ulwakhuva uvumi wa munu vusi khuli nu vumofu uwa finu ifi alinavyo.”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.”

16U Yisu akhavavula ikhihwa na nicho, akhanchova akhata, ikyalo kya munu yumo utayili,Then He told them a parable: “The ground of a certain rich man produced an abundance.

17kya motikhe fincho, Akhivuncha mugati akhata, nelivuvule apakhuvikha imote yango?So he thought to himself, ‘What shall I do, since I have nowhere to store my crops?’

18Akhanchova, nivomba ndeenidenyanya ifibana vyango ifidebe nu khunjenga ifibana ifivaha, nu khuvikha imote yoni ni finu ifinge vyoni.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.

19Nu khuyivula inumbula ukhuta,” numbula wivekhile ikhibana ne vinu vyooni khusikhi ikya miakha gimingi. Tama, nu khuhovokha, uliuchage nukhunjwa nu khuhovokha.”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!”’

20Lino UNguluve akhambula, uve vi munu ulipelwa, ikhilo iyi vinogwa inumbula yakho ukhuhuma khulyuve, ni finuvyoni ifiwavekhile fiva vyani?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?’

21Vunyilava umunu nu munu uvivekha ikyuma ulekhe ukhwita yilisya khu Twa.This is how it will be for anyone who stores up treasure for himself but is not rich toward God.”

22U Yisu akhavavula avakhongi vamwene, pu lino nikhuvavula ukhuta, mlekhe ukhu susuvala khukya muhiitamile ginyo ukhuta mwilya khikhi, mufwala khikhi.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.

23Ulwakhuva imitamile khulutilile mukyakhulya, nu mbili gulutilile mumyenda.For life is more than food, and the body more than clothes.

24Mulolage ifidege ivya khukyanya, safilina nu khubena. Valivuvule inyumba na khikhi bana ikya khuvikhila, lino uDada veto, ikhikhuvalisya. Umwe samuli vananu ukhulutilila fincho ndi fidege!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!

25Pu pwale veni uvi ikhigatancha imbutamilo wa mwene?Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to his life?

26Ingavesanuvomba imbombo indebe khikhukhwi gatancha na gange goni?So if you cannot do such a small thing, why do you worry about the rest?

27Mulolage amavuva - vugimela. Sagivomba nu khubota ulwakhuva. Nikhumbula, na yu Sulemani khu vuvaha wa mwene woni savikhiwe ukhuva vope pwale,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.

28Ingave Unguluve si vikha vunonu ilinyasi khuvunambalililo, ne lelo pugale, khilavo vitaga khumwota. Lino silutilila ukhuvavikha umwe? Umwe mwi valwidikho ulusupi!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!

29Mulagatalaga ukhuta twilya khikhi nu khunywa khikhi mulavenchaga nu vugwanchi.And do not be concerned about what you will eat or drink. Do not worry about it.

30Ukhuva avavaha va khilunga vigatanchiwa ne nchakhilunga. Nu Dada vito ulumanyile ukhuta mulonda ago.For the Gentiles of the world strive after all these things, and your Father knows that you need them.

31Lino mulondage uludeva tasi pu agange ikhuvongelenchaga,But seek His kingdom, and these things will be added unto you.

32Muladwadaga, umwe mwikhipunga ikhidebe, ulwakhuva u Dada veto ihavokha ukhutupo ufwe uludeva.Do not be afraid, little flock, for your Father is pleased to give you the kingdom.

33Gunchaga ikyuma kyoni nu khuvapa avaganchu, mwivikhile imepakho_igisagisila ne lakhiba khu kyanya iyisayisila upu avalyasi savakhahedelele na yi nondo sayikhawese ukhubungua.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.

34Ulwakhuva upunyilipo iakhiba puyilipo na yi numbula yakho.For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.

35Imwenda gieto give nutali give gikhungiwe nu khanda, gwa taa nchinyo nu khulola ukhuta nchikwe ndelela ukhwakha,Be dressed for service and keep your lamps burning.

36Nu khuva nda vanu avikhundola Utwa vavene ukhuhuma khuluhekhelo ulwa vutegulani, ukhuta aginche nu khuta, puvi khudindulila undyango na mbivi igele.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.

37Vasayiwe avavombi avuvene Utwa ayikhuvavona valimiho. Lweli ayikhunga mienda imitali nu khanda, nu khuvatamikha pasi khukhulya nu khuvapa linchaga.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.

38Ingave Utwa ikhwincha khusikhisikhi pu uvuloleli uwa pakhilo nu wa sikhi khadatu (3) yu vuloleli nu khuvavona ukhuva viyandalile, viva vagatalufu avavombi avo.Even if he comes in the second or third watch of the night and finds them alert, those servants will be blessed.

39Ukhulutilila nago, mungalumanye ukhuta umunu ikhwincha khuhincha sakhale ikhuyilekha inyumba vebomole.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.

40Muvenchage miho, ulwakhuva samulumanyile usikhi ugu ikhwincha umwana va Adamu.You also must be ready, because the Son of Man will come at an hour you do not expect.”

41u Petro anchovile akhata, “Itwa, vukhutuvula yufwe ifi khwani, nukhumbula umunu nu munu?“Lord,” said Peter, “are You addressing this parable to us, or to everyone else as well?”

42U Twa akhavavula akhata, “Veni umbanda unonu nu nyaluhala, uve Utwa va mwene ikhu mbikha khukyanya khuva mbombo avange ukhuta avapinchage ikyakhulya kyavene khunsikhi ugwa venchaga?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?

43Asayiwe umbaha uvi Utwa va mwene anginche ivona ivomba imbombo yila iyakhambulule ukhuvomba.Blessed is that servant whose master finds him doing so when he returns.

44Lweli nikhuvavula umwe ukhuta ikhu mbikha khukyanya khu kyuma kyoni.Truly I tell you, he will put him in charge of all his possessions.

45Lino umbaha ula anchovile munumbula mumwene, “Utwa vango inchelewa ukhukhilivu kha; pu akhatengula ukhuvatova avambombo voni, avagosi na vadala pu akhatengula ukhulya nu khunywa nu khugala,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.

46utwa vamwene nu mbanda ayikhwincha pa khigono ikhisakhivo nekha nu sikhi gugwa sugumanyile, nu mwene ayigida tusekhele tusekhele, nu khuvikha pupaninye na avasava vikhwelewa'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.

47Umbaha, uvyalumanyile uvugane wa Ntwa wa mwene nu mwene sakhivikhe vuuonu nu khuvomba vuuonu nu vugane wa mwene, nu khutoviwa ne mbikhi inyingi.That servant who knows his master’s will but does not get ready or follow his instructions will be beaten with many blows.

48Lino umbaha uvesalumanyile uvugani wa NTwa va mwene, pu akhavomba agilondiwa, ayitova imbikhi ndebe, ulwa khuva uvivapile fingi, ifingi vikhufilonda u khuhuma khu mwene, nu mwene uvivamwamini khu fihele likhe, khu mwene ayufilondiwa ifihelelikhe ukhulutilila.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.

49Ninchile khukhoncha umwoto mukhilunga, ninogwa guve gwakhile,I have come to ignite a fire on the earth, and how I wish it were already kindled!

50Pu luno nelinulwoncho ulwa khwonchiva, nu khuva nulususuvalo ukhufikha khuvumalilo!But I have a baptism to undergo, and how distressed I am until it is accomplished!

51Lino, usaga mwita ninchile khukhuvapa ulwidikho mukhilunga? Bakho, nikhuvavulanincha, ukhuta neletile ukhulekhehana.Do you think that I have come to bring peace to the earth? No, I tell you, but division.

52Ukhuma lino nu khwendelela yukhuva na vanu 5 munjengo yimo nukhugavaniya radatu viva khusana na vavili, na vavili viva khusana na vadatu. (3).From now on, five in one household will be divided, three against two and two against three.

53Yuvikhigava, udada iva khusana nu mwana, nu mwana ayiva khusana nu dadaye, uvanina iva khusana nu ng'inchava mwene, nu vanina ukwive iva khusana nu khwive va mwene.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.”

54U Yisu akha vavula avanyalulundamano nave, “Ukhuta vumuvona amafunde vugihumila khuvuhumo, mwinchova usikhi ugwa fula gufikhe vuyilivo vuyakhiva yiva,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.

55Ne mepo ukhuhuma khuvutegulilo wa khilunga nu khuluguto, mwinchova, pupalava na mafukhe amakhali, vuyilava.And when the south wind blows, you say, ‘It will be hot,’ and it is.

56Umwe mwe vanyagila, muwesya ukhulesya imigendele igiya khilunga na khukyanya, lino yuyiwa ndakhikhi samukhawese ukhwelesya usikhi ugupugule?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?

57Khikhi umunu nu munu alekhe ukhukhwihiga ilya lweli? Khu mwene ukhu vomba usikhi ugwalinago nu sikhi ugwakhuvomba evo?And why don’t you judge for yourselves what is right?

58Ungave vuluta nu vihegiwa vakhe khuvulongolo khwa uhakhimu, nitangage ukhwibatana nu vihigiwa vakho vulimumule mulinchila alekhe ukhukhuhilikha khwa akhimu, nu hakhimu akhuhilikhe khu ofisa, nu ofisa akhakhutaga khulumande.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.

59Ni khuvavula, ukhuhuma ukhwa akhuhombile ukhuhuma khumwisyo ne senti iya mwisyo.I tell you, you will not get out until you have paid the very last penny.”
