Luka 12
1 Kwa wakati wo maelfu ganambone gabandu balikusangika pamoja kiasi cha tumbwa libatana atumbwi bayana banafunzi bake muhidhali na chachu ya mafarisayo ambayo nga unafiki.
Meanwhile, when a crowd of thousands had converged, so that they were stepping on each other, He began to speak first to His disciples: “Guard yourselves from the ‘yeast’ of the Pharisees, which is hypocrisy.
2 Na pabali na siri yai iyilwe ambayo ya umukulilwalii wala jambo laliiyilwe ambalo latangani kwali.
There is nothing concealed that will not be revealed, or hidden that will not be known.
3 Na lyolyoi laumbayit palibindu layanika pabwega. Na gogota gamubajite munachikilo nkati ya yumba yinu ya nkati yamuyigile gatangazwa panani ya nyumba.
Therefore whatever you have spoken in the dark will be heard in the light, and what you have whispered in the ear behind closed doors will be proclaimed from the housetops.
4 Nenda kuabakia mabwiga lyangu kana mwayoghope balu bababulagayiga na mtupu kile chingi chabakipanga.
“Further, I say to you, my friends: do not be afraid of those who kill the body and after that have nothing more that they can do.
5 Lakini ni palakuabula ywakunyogopa. mungogope yulu ambaye baada ya bulaga aina ngupu ya kukutailya jehanamu elo nendakuabakia mwenga munyogopenywo. (Geenna g1067)
Rather, I will advise you whom you should fear—fear Him who after He kills has authority to cast into Gehenna; yes indeed, fear Him! (Geenna g1067)
6 Je shomoro batano bapimiali shilingi ibele? hata ivyo mtupu hata yamo ywabapala kumbalya mbele ya Nnongu.
Are not five sparrows sold for two copper coins? Yet not one of them is forgotten before God.
7 Lakini mtange kuwa nywili ya mumitwee yinu itibalangwilwa kana muyogope. mwenga muina thamani ngulu kuliko shomoro baingi.
Even the hairs of your head are all numbered! So do not be afraid; you are far more valuable than sparrows!
8 Ninda kuabakia, ywaniyikitiya nenga nninge ya bandu, mwana wa Adamu anyiyikitya nnonge ya malaika na Nnongo.
“Also I say to you, whoever claims me before men, the Son of the Man will also claim him before the angels of God.
9 Lakini ywoywoti ywanikana nnonge ya bandu ni ywembe akanikiya nnongi ya malaika ba Nnongo.
But whoever disclaims me before men will be disclaimed before the angels of God.
10 Ywoywoti nywabaya lineno kunani ya mwana wa Adamu, asamehelwa, lakini ywoywoti ywa mkufuru Roho mpeletau, asamehelwa kwaa,
Anyone who speaks a word against the Son of the Man, it can be forgiven him; but to him who blasphemes against the Holy Spirit it will not be forgiven.
11 Bapampeleka nnongi ya wakolo ba masinagogi, atawala, ni bene mamlka, kana muyogope husu namna ya longela katika kuitetea au kile cha baya,
Now whenever they bring you before synagogues, rulers and authorities, do not worry about how or what you will answer, or what you should say.
12 Kwa kuwa Roho Mpeletau ampundisha namani mwampala baya kwa wakati woo,”
Because the Holy Spirit will teach you in that very hour what you need to say.”
13 Mundu yumo katika likusanyiko ammakiye, mwalimu, umakiye nnunangu ampei sehemu ya urithi wango,”
Then someone from the crowd said to Him, “Teacher, tell my brother to divide the inheritance with me.”
14 Yesu an'yangwi, ni nyai ywa nibikite panga namwamuzi ni wanipatanisha kati yinu?
But He said to him, “Man, who appointed me a judge or an arbiter over you?”
15 Nga aabakiya, muiadhari ni kila namna ya tamaa, kwa sababu ukto wa mundu ubile kwaa katika wingwa ilibe yabile nayo.”
Then He said to them, “Keep alert and guard against covetousness, because one's life does not consist in the abundance of his possessions.”
16 Yesu aabakiye mfano, kabaya, nng'unda wa mundu yumo tajiri yatipambika muno.
Then He told them a parable, saying: “The ground of a certain rich man produced well.
17 ni atikuilokiya nkati yake, kabaya, mbange namani kwani ntopo mahali pabika yakya yango?
And he reasoned within himself saying, ‘What shall I do, because I have no place to store my crops?’
18 Ngabaya mbapanga nyaa, mbatekwana magolo gango machunu ni chenga balibile likolo ni kuibika yakulya yango yoti ni ile yenge.
Then he said: ‘This is what I will do. I will tear down my barns and build bigger ones, and there I will store all my produce and my goods.
19 Naibakiya nafsi yango, “Nafsi, uibekii akii ya ile yanambone kwa miaka yanambone upumuli, ulye, unywee ni ustalee.”
And I will say to my soul: Soul, you have many goods laid up for many years. Take life easy; eat, drink and enjoy yourself!’
20 Lakini Nongo ammakiye, wenga mundu mpumbavu, kiloo cha lino tupala mwoyo buka kwako, ni ilee yoti yaniandaite yapanga ya nyai?
But God said to him: ‘Stupid! This very night your life is being taken back from you; then who will get the things you have prepared?’
21 Nga yapanga kwa kila mundu ywa ibekya mali ni kuitayalisha kwaajili ya Ngwana.
Just like that is he who accumulates treasure for himself and is not rich toward God.”
22 Yesu aabakiye benepuzi bake, kwa nyo nenda kuwabakiya kana muyogope husu maisha yinu ya kwale mwa lyaa namani au husu yega yinu mwa wala namani.
Then He said to His disciples: “Therefore I say to you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat; nor about the body, what you will wear.
23 kwa kuwa maisha nga muno kuliko chakulya, ni yega muno kuliko ngobo.
Life is more than food, and the body more than clothes.
24 Muilinge iyuni ya angani, balima kwaa wala bauna kwaa. Ntopo chumba wa lighulo lya bikya, lakini Tati bitu anda kuwaleleya mwenga bora kwaa kuliko iyuni!
Consider the ravens: they neither sow nor reap, they have neither storeroom nor barn, and God feeds them. You are far more valuable than the birds!
25 Ywako nkati yinu ambaye ywaisumbua awesa yongeya dhiraa imo katika maisha gake?
And who among you can add one cubit to his height by worrying?
26 Mana basi mngwecha kwaa panga hacho kichunu chakibile rahisi kwa namani kuisumbwa hago genge?
So if you cannot do even such a little thing, why worry about the rest?
27 Mugalinge maluba mwagakula. Gapanga kwaa kazi wala gapota kwaa. Lakini nenda kuwabakia hata Suleimani katika utukufu bake boti ban'gwalike kwaa kati yimo yapo haga.
“Consider the lilies, how they grow: they neither toil nor spin; I say to you, not even Solomon in all his splendor was clothed like one of these.
28 Mana Nnongo ugawalika vizuri maakapi ga mmendi, ambago leno gabile, ni malau ugataikwa pa mwoto. Buli mwenga muno kwaa aweza kun'gwalika? mwenga imani njunu!
So if God so clothes the grass that today is in the field and tomorrow is thrown into an oven, how much more you, O little-faiths!
29 Kana msumbukii husu mwa lyaa namani au mwa nywa namani wala kana m'be ni hofu.
Do not concentrate on what you may eat or what you may drink; do not be anxious.
30 Kwa kuwa mataifa goti ga kilambo basumbukiya mambo gabe. Ni Tati binu atangite kuwa mpala ago.
All these things really occupy the nations of the world, and your Father knows that you need them.
31 Lakini muupale ufalme wake kwanza, ni ago genge anyongekeya.
Rather, concentrate on the Kingdom of God, and all these things will be provided for you.
32 Kana muyogope mwenge mwa likundi lichini kwasababu Tati binu apulaikya kwapea ufalme.
“Do not fear, little flock, because it pleased the Father to give you the Kingdom.
33 Mupimeye mali yinu mukaapeiimaskini, muhipangii mifuko yangali yomoka hazina ya kunani yanga yomoka, sehemu ambayo baii bakalibia kwaa wala nondo aweza kwaa alibu.
Sell your possessions and give to charity. Make for yourselves ‘purses’ that will not wear out, an unfailing treasure in the heavens, where a thief cannot approach, nor a moth destroy.
34 Kwa kuwa paibile hazina yako, nga mwoyo wako paupabaa.
Because where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.
35 Ngobo yinu ndachi ibe itabilwe kwa nkanda, ni taa yinu muhakikishe kuwa kaiyendelya yakaa.
“Let your waists be belted and your lamps burning,
36 ni m'be kati bandu babannolekea Ngwana wabe buka kusheree ya ndoa, linga mana aichile ni kumbwa ulibawecha kunyughulya nniyango kwa haraka.
and you yourselves like men waiting for their master when he returns from the wedding celebration, so that when he comes and knocks they may open to him immediately.
37 Batibarikiwa balu atumishi ambao Ngwana aakolya bai minyo. Hakika atabaa ngobo yake ndacho kwa nkanda alafuatawika pae kwa chakulya, ni kubahudumia.
Blessed are those slaves whom the master will find watching when he comes. Assuredly I say to you that he will gird himself and have them recline, and will come and serve them.
38 Kati Ngwana aaicha kwa zamu yeneibele ya lindela lya kilo, au hata zamu yene itatu ya lindela, ni kunkolya wabiile tayari, yabaa heri kwa abo atumishi.
And if he should come in the second watch, or come in the third watch, and find them so, blessed are those slaves.
39 zaidi ya ago mutange linga, kati ngwana mwene nyumba akatangage saa ambayo mwii andaicha, apeilekali nyumba yake tekwana.
But know this, that if the master of the house had known in what hour the thief was coming, he would have kept watch and not allowed his house to be broken into.
40 Mube tayari kai kwani mutangite kwaa ni wakati gani mwana wa Adamu abuyangana.
Therefore you also be ready, because the Son of the Man is coming at an hour you do not expect.”
41 Petro abayite, “Ngwana, utubakia twenga mfano yii, au umakiya kila mundu?
Then Peter said to Him, “Lord, are you directing this parable to us, or to everyone?”
42 Ngwana amm'bakiye, nyai mwanda mwaminifu au mwene hekima ambaye ngwana wake amika panani ya abanda benge lenga abagane chakulya chabe kwa wakati wapalikwa?
So the Lord said: “Who then is the faithful and prudent steward whom his master will place over his household to give them the food allowance at the right time?
43 Atibarikiwa mmanda yolo ambaye bwana wake mana aichile ukolya kapanga galo ganagile.
Blessed is that slave whom his master will find so doing when he comes.
44 Hakika nindakuwabakiya mwenga ya kuwa ami'ka manani ya mali yake yoti.
I tell you truly that he will put him in charge of all his possessions.
45 Lakini mmanda yolo mana abayite pa mwoyo wake,'bwana wango achia buya, nga nyoo ngatumbwa kuangumbwa abanda alalume ni alwawa alafu atumbwa lyaa, nywaa ni lobya.
But if that servant should say in his heart, ‘My master won't come for a while,’ and should begin to hit the male and female servants, and to eat and drink and get drunk,
46 Bwana wake yolo mmanda aicha katika lichuba yanga kwaa kuitegemea ni lisaa langa kwaa kulitanga, ywembe ankata ipande ipande ni kummeka katika sehemu imo ni banga kwaa aaminifu.'
the master of that slave will come on a day when he does not expect him, and at an hour that he does not know, and will cut him in two and appoint his portion with the unbelievers.
47 Mmanda ywa yowa mapenzi ga bwana wake, aindaite kwaa wala apangite sawa sawa ni penda kwake, akumbulwa iboko iingi.
“That servant who knew his master's will, but neither got ready nor did according to that will, will be beaten with many blows.
48 Lakini mmanda ywa tangite kwaa mwapendi bwana wake, lakini apangite gagapalikwa adhabu, angumbulwa iboko njunu. kwa kuwa ywembe ywa peilwe yanambone, apalongelwa buka kwake ni ywembe ywaaminilwe kwa yanambone, kwake alongelwa yanambone muno.
But he who did not know, yet did things worthy of blows, will be beaten with few. Everyone to whom much has been given, from him much will be required; and to whom much was entrusted, of him much more will be asked.
49 Niichile koya mwoto mukilambo ni nenda tamaniya ibe inda yaka,
“I came to bring fire to the earth, and how I wish it were already kindled!
50 Lakini nina ubatizo ambao mbabatizwa, ni nina kyoto mpaka paukamilika.
But I have a baptism to undergo, and how distressed I am until it is completed!
51 Buli mufikilia kuwa niichi leta amani mukilambo? Nyoli, ninda kuwabakiya, badala yake niletite mutalanganike.
Do you imagine that I came to provide peace on the earth? Not at all, I tell you, but rather division.
52 Tangu nambeambe ni yendelya paba, ni bandu batano. Katika nyumba yimo babaganike, ni atatu kinyume ni abele abele bapanga kinyume ni atatu.
Because from now on there will be five in one house divided: three against two and two against three.
53 Babaganika, tati apanga kinyume ni mwana wake, ni mwana ni mwana apanga kinyume ni tate bake, Mao apanga kinyume ni mwana wake, ni mwana apanga kinyume ni mabake, mwile apanga kinyume ni mkwano, ni mkwano apanga kinyume ni mabake.
Father will be divided against son and son against father, mother against daughter and daughter against mother, mother-in-law against her daughter-in-law and daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law.”
54 Yesu ende kuabakia makutano kae, pa mona maunde kugapita kundondi, mwaya wakati wa ula wandaicha, ni nga chai bile.
Then He also said to the crowds: “Whenever you see a cloud rising from the west, immediately you say, ‘A rainstorm is coming,’ and so it does.
55 Ni mchunga wa kusimana uvumilite mmaya paba ni lyoto likali, ni nga chai baa.
And whenever a south wind blows, you say, ‘It will be hot,’ and it happens.
56 Mwenga mwa lau, muweza tafsiri mmoneka wa kilambo ni kunani, lakini iba buli nngwecha kwaa tafsiri wakati waubile?
Hypocrites! You know how to interpret the appearance of the sky and of the earth, so how can you not discern this time?
57 Ni kwa namani kila yumo kana alipambanue lali la kweli kwake kulipanga wakati pa bi ni nafsi ya panga nyo?
Also why, even of yourselves, do you not judge what is right?
58 Maana mana uyihi ni ywakushitakiya nnongi ya hakimu, uitahidi patana na ywa kushitakya mungali balo mundela kana akupeleke kwa hakimu, ni hakimu akupeleki kwa afisa akutaikwa muligereza.
“When you are going with your adversary to the magistrate, make every effort along the way to settle with him, lest he drag you to the judge, the judge deliver you to the bailiff, and the bailiff throw you into prison.
59 Ninda kuwabakiya wapita mwo adi ulepite mpaka lusenti lwa mwisho.
I tell you, you will by no means get out of there until you have paid the last penny.”
