Luke 16
1 And he also said to his disciples, There was a certain rich man who had a manager, and this man was accused to him as squandering things possessed by him.
Yesu wukamba minlonguki miandi: —Mutu wumosi wuba busina buwombo, wuba ayi dikalaka diandi, vayi batu bayiza funda dikalaka diandi ti niandi wufukisidi busina buandi.
2 And having called him, he said to him, What is this I hear about thee? Render the account of thy management, for thou can no longer manage.
Buna pfumu andi bu kantumisa buna wunyuvula: “mambu mbi momondilembu wanga mu diambu diaku e? Vumbula kipholo mu zaba bueviwukebidi kisalu kiaku bila wulendi buela ba nkebi wu bima biama ko.”
3 And the manager said within himself, What shall I do because my lord takes away the management from me? I am not able to dig. I am ashamed to beg.
Buna nkebi wu bima wuyindula mu ntimꞌandi: “diambu mbi ndiekavanga e? Bila buabu pfumu ama weka kumbotula, ndilendi buela kebangabima biandi ko. Ndilendi salanga ntoto ko bila ndisi ko ngolo; tsoni mu kuenda lombanga.
4 I know what I will do, so that when I am removed from the management they may receive me into their houses.
Buabu mbakudi diambu mbi ndieka vanga muingi batu baba kundiakulanga mu zinzo ziawu bu bela kumbotula mu kisalu.”
5 And having summoned each one of his lord's debtors, he said to the first, How much do thou owe to my lord?
Vana vawu wutumisa batu boso baba zipholo kuidi pfumu andi. Wuyuvula wutheti: “Kikua fueti futa pfumu ama e?”
6 And he said, A hundred measures of olive oil. And he said to him, Receive thy document, and having sat down, quickly write fifty.
Mutu beni wumvutudila ti: “Makumuandi ma mangungulu ma mafuta.” Nkebi beni wunkamba: “tamla nkanda wowo wusonika, wawu vuanda vovo, tula nsuala ayi sonikati dikumi di mangungulu.”
7 Next he said to another, And how much do thou owe? And he said, A hundred measures of wheat. And he says to him, Receive thy document, and write eighty.
Bosi wukamba wunkaka: “Ngeyo kikua fueti futa e?” Niandi wumfutudila ti: “Zikhama zitanu zi zitsaku zi ble.” Buna nkebi beni wunkamba mutu beni ti: “bonga nkanda wowo wusonika ayi sonika zikhama ziya.”
8 And his lord commended the unrighteous manager because he did shrewdly. Because the sons of this age are shrewder in their own generation than the sons of the light. (aiōn g165)
Buna pfumu beni wuniemisa nkebi wowo wukambu kiedika mu philadiela diandi di kasadila. Bila, mu mambu mawu veka, batu ba thanguyayi balutidi bana ba kiezila mu diela. (aiōn g165)
9 And I say to you, make friends for yourselves from the mammon of unrighteousness, so that, when ye cease, they may receive you into the eternal dwellings. (aiōnios g166)
Ayi minu ndikulukamba ti mboti lusadila kimvuama ki ntoto muingi lubaka bakundi mu diambu dieno veka muingi mu thangu kiela manababa kuluyakula mu zinzo zi mvu ka mvu. (aiōnios g166)
10 The man faithful in the least is faithful also in much, and the man unrighteous in the least is unrighteous also in much.
Woso mutu widi wukuikama mu bima bifioti buna widi diaka wukuikama mu bima biwombo. Ayi woso kambulu wukuikama mu bima bifioti kalendi ba wukuikama ko mu bima binneni.
11 If therefore ye did not become faithful in the unrighteous mammon, who will entrust to you what is true?
Enati lusi ko bakuikama mu kimvuama kikambulu kisonga buna nani wela kuluyekudila kimvuama kikiedika e?
12 And if ye did not become faithful in the alien, who will give thine to you?
Enati luisi ko bakuikama mu bima bingana buna nani wela kuluvana bima bieno veka e?
13 No servant can serve two masters, for either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will hold to one and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon.
—Kuisi ko kisadi kilenda sadila bapfumu buadi. Bila bukiedika wela lenda pfumu yimosi ayi wela zola pfumu yinkaka. Voti wela kiyekulakuidi pfumu yitheti ayi wela lenza pfumu yinkaka. Lulendi sadila Nzambi ayi zimbongo va kimosi ko.
14 And the Pharisees, being lovers of money, heard all these things, and they sneered him.
Buna bamana wa mambu momo, Bafalisi babazolanga zimbongo basekinina Yesu.
15 And he said to them, Ye are those who declare yourselves righteous in the sight of men, but God knows your hearts. Because what is lofty among men is an abomination in the sight of God.
Vayi niandi wuba kamba: —Benu luidi batu beta zola kukimonikisa basonga va meso ma batu vayi Nzambi zebi mintima mieno. Bila mambu momo mammonika ma mfunuva meso ma batu madi mambu maphamba va meso ma Nzambi.
16 The law and the prophets were until John. From that time the kingdom of God is proclaimed good news, and every man in it is treated aggressively.
—Tsungi yi Mina ayi yi mimbikudi yiba nate mu thangu yi Yowani. Tona thangu yina Nsamu Wumbote wu Kipfumu ki Nzambi wulembu samunu ayi kadika mutu wulembo sadilanga zingolo ziandi mu kota muawu.
17 But it is easier for the heaven and the earth to pass away, than for one tittle of the law to fall.
Muaki kadi kuandi phasi diyilu ayi ntoto mu vioka vayi kadi sonu kimosi ki Mina kilendi botulu ko.
18 Every man who divorces his wife and marries another, commits adultery, and every man who marries her who has been divorced from a husband commits adultery.
—Woso wumbotula nketo andi ayi kuedidi nketo wunkaka vengi kitsuza ayi woso wunkuela nketo wubotalo kuidi bakala diandi vengi kitsuza.
19 Now there was a certain rich man, and he was clothed in purple and fine linen, faring sumptuously daily.
—Kuba mutu wumosi wu kimvuama, wuba vuatanga minledi mintalu ayi mimboti. Kadika lumbu, luzingu luandi luba lu minyengo.
20 But there was a certain poor man named Lazarus, who had been placed near his gate, covered with sores,
Nsukami wumosi, dizina diandi Lazale wuba lekanga vana muelonzo yi nkua kimvuama. Nitu andi yoso yiba ziphuta-ziphuta.
21 and longing to be fed with the crumbs that fell from the rich man's table. But even the dogs that came licked his sores.
Wuba mayindu ma yukutanga mu bitsiadisila biobi biba dodukanga mu thangu mutu wu busina kaba dianga va meza. Vayi zimbua ziba kuiza vendanga ziphuta ziandi.
22 And it came to pass for the poor man to die and be carried by the agents to Abraham's bosom. And the rich man also died and was buried.
Vayi nsukami wuyiza fua ayi zimbasi zinnata nate vana ndambu Abalahami. Mutu wu kimvuama, mamvandi, wufua ayi wuziku.
23 And having lifted up his eyes in Hades, being in torments, he sees Abraham from afar and Lazarus by his bosom. (Hadēs g86)
Kuna tsi yi bafua, wumona ziphasi ziwombo, wuvumbula meso ayi wumona kuna thama Lazale buna kadi va ndambu yi Abalahami. (Hadēs g86)
24 And having cried out, he said, Father Abraham, be merciful to me, and send Lazarus, so that he may dip the tip of his finger in water, and cool my tongue, because I am in agony in this flame.
Buna wuyamikina: “A tata Abalahami, bika wumbona kiadi! Tuma Lazale kabuika tsongi yi nlembo andi mu nlangu muingi kandakisila dibeti mu ludimi luama bila phasi ndilembu moni mu diambu di minlaki mi mbazu.”
25 But Abraham said, Child, remember that thou in thy lifetime received thy good things, and likewise Lazarus evil things. But now here he is comforted and thou are in agony.
Vayi Abalahami wumvutudila: “A muanꞌama, bika wutebuka moyo ti ngeyo wutambula bima biaku mu thangu yi luzingu luaku vayi Lazale wutambula mabienga. Vayi buabu niandi wulembo bombo kuaku vayi ngeyo wulembo yamusu.
26 And besides all these things, between us and you a great chasm is fixed, so that those here who want to cross over to you are not able, nor may those go across from there to us.
Ayi botula mambu momo, diyenga dinneni didi va khatitsika beto ayi beno mu diambu di bobo badi kuaku batidi kuiza kuidi beno babika bakadiluaku dikuizila koko luidi ayi mu diambu di bobo badi koko luidi batidi kuiza kuaku babika baka diluaku dikuizila kuaku tuidi.”
27 And he said, I beg thee therefore, father, that thou would send him to my father's house,
Buna mutu wu busina wubuela tuba diaka: —A tata, lemvuka! Tuma Lazale ku nzo yi siama
28 for I have five brothers, that he may testify to them, lest they also come into this place of torment.
bila zikhombo zitanu zidi yama mu diambu di kabalubula muingi mamvawu babika kuiza ku buangu kiaki ki kiphasi.
29 But Abraham says to him, They have Moses and the prophets. Let them hear them.
Vayi Abalahami wumvutudila: “Moyize ayi mimbikudi badi yawu bika baba wilukila”.
30 And he said, No, father Abraham, but if some man would go to them from the dead they will repent.
Buna nkua busina wubuela tuba: “Nana, buawu ko bobo Tata Abalahami. Bila enati mutu fulukidi mu tsi yi bafua ayi wedi kuidi bawu buna bela balula mavanga mawu.”
31 And he said to him, If they do not listen to Moses and the prophets, neither will they be persuaded if some man would rise from the dead.
Vayi Abalahami wubuela vutula ti: “Enati bakadi wila Moyize ayi mimbikudi buna balendi wila ko mutuwufua ka diambu ko wufuluka.”
