Luke 19
1 He entered and was passing through Jericho.
Wukota mu divula di Yeliko ayi wudisabuka.
2 There was a man named Zacchaeus. He was a chief tax collector, and he was rich.
Tala mutu wumosi, dizina diandi Zakayi, wuba pfumu yi mimfutisi mi ziphaku ayi wuba nkua busina.
3 He was trying to see who Jesus was, and could not because of the crowd, because he was short.
Wuzola mona Yesu mu diambu kazaba buevi kadidi vayi kadia nunga ko mu diambu di nkangu wu batu bila ntela wu khufi wuba yandi.
4 He ran on ahead and climbed up into a sycamore tree to see him, for he was going to pass that way.
Buna wuzawula kuna ntuala ayi wumota mu nti wu sikomole mu diambu kamona Yesu bila vana kafueti viokila.
5 When Jesus came to the place, he looked up and saw him, and said to him, “Zacchaeus, hurry and come down, for today I must stay at your house.”
Mu thangu Yesu katula vana buangu beni, wumbula meso, wummona ayi wunkamba: —Zakayi, kuluka nsualu bila buabu mu nzo aku mfueti vuanda.
6 He hurried, came down, and received him joyfully.
Zakayi wukuluka mu nsualu ayi wutambula Yesu mu khini.
7 When they saw it, they all murmured, saying, “He has gone in to lodge with a man who is a sinner.”
Bu bamona bobo, batu boso baniunguta ayi batuba: —Tala, wedi leki ku nzo nkua masumu wowo!
8 Zacchaeus stood and said to the Lord, “Behold, Lord, half of my goods I give to the poor. If I have wrongfully exacted anything of anyone, I restore four times as much.”
Vayi Zalayi wutelama wukamba Pfumu: —Tala, ndieka vana minsukami khatitsika yi bima biama ayi enati mutu ndivangila mbimbi mu kumvuna buna ndieka kumvutudila mu zikhumbu ziya.
9 Jesus said to him, “Today, salvation has come to this house, because he also is a son of Abraham.
Buna Yesu wunkamba: —Pulusu yikotidi mu lumbu kiaki mu nzo yayi bila mutu wawu, mamvandi, widi muana wu Abalahami.
10 For the Son of Man came to seek and to save that which was lost.”
Bila muana mutu wuyiza mu tomba ayi mu vukisa bobo baba bazimbala.
11 As they heard these things, he went on and told a parable, because he was near Jerusalem, and they supposed that God’s Kingdom would be revealed immediately.
Nkangu bu wuba wa mambu mama, Yesu wubuela bakamba nongo yimosibila buna Yelusalemi difikimini ayi batu babanzila ti kipfumu ki Nzambi kieka kuiza nsualu.
12 He said therefore, “A certain nobleman went into a far country to receive for himself a kingdom and to return.
Buna wuba kamba: —Mutu wumosi wu dikanda di luzitu wuyenda ku tsi yi thama muingi kenda bieku ntinu. Niandi mana bieku buna bosi kela vutuka ku tsi andi.
13 He called ten servants of his and gave them ten mina coins, and told them, ‘Conduct business until I come.’
Buna wutumisa dikumi di bisadi biandi ayi wuvana kuidi kadikamutu sengo kimosi ki nolo. Bosi wuba kamba: “Bika lubutisa zimbongo ziazi nate ndiela vutuka.”
14 But his citizens hated him, and sent an envoy after him, saying, ‘We do not want this man to reign over us.’
Vayi basi tsi andi banlenda. Diawu ku manima mandi bamfidisilamimvuala mu diambu mituba ti: “Tumengi ti mutu wawu katu yadila.”
15 “When he had come back again, having received the kingdom, he commanded these servants, to whom he had given the money, to be called to him, that he might know what they had gained by conducting business.
Bu kamana bieku ntinu, wuvutuka ku tsi andi ayi wutumisa bisadibiobi kasia bikila zimbongo. Wuzola zabathalu yibutisa kadika mutu mu zimbongo zikatambula.
16 The first came before him, saying, ‘Lord, your mina has made ten more minas.’
Wutheti wuyiza ayi wutuba: “A Pfumu, sengo kiaku ki nolo kibutidi dikumi di bisengo bi nolo.”
17 “He said to him, ‘Well done, you good servant! Because you were found faithful with very little, you shall have authority over ten cities.’
Buna Pfumu beni wunkamba: “Sedi bumbote! Widi kisadi kimboti. Sumbu wubedi wukuikama mu mambu mafioti, diawu ndiveni minsua mu yadila dikumi di mavula.”
18 “The second came, saying, ‘Your mina, Lord, has made five minas.’
Mutu wummuadi wuyiza ayi wutuba: “A Pfumu, sengo kiaku ki nolo kibutidi bisengo bitanu binkaka bi nolo.”
19 “So he said to him, ‘And you are to be over five cities.’
Buna Pfumu wukamba kuidi kisadi kimmuadi: “Ngeyo ndiveni minsua mu yadila mavula matanu.”
20 Another came, saying, ‘Lord, behold, your mina, which I kept laid away in a handkerchief,
Wunkaka wuyiza ayi wutuba: “A Nlongi, tala sengo kiaku kinolo, ndiki sueka bumboti va dikolo di nledi.
21 for I feared you, because you are an exacting man. You take up that which you did not lay down, and reap that which you did not sow.’
Bila minu tsisi ndimueni bila widi mutu wumosi mu thewa; ngeyo wunzionanga biobi wukambu sala, ngeyo wuntotanga bidia biobi wusia kuna ko.”
22 “He said to him, ‘Out of your own mouth I will judge you, you wicked servant! You knew that I am an exacting man, taking up that which I did not lay down and reaping that which I did not sow.
Buna pfumu wunkamba: “Ndieka kusambisa mu mambu momo tubidi ngeyo veka widi kisadi kimbimbi! Zebi kuaku ki ndidi mutu wu thewa. Ndinzionanga biobindikambu sala ayi ndintotanga bidia biobi ndisia kuna ko.
23 Then why did not you deposit my money in the bank, and at my coming, I might have earned interest on it?’
Vayi bila mbi wukambu tudila zimbongo ziama ku banki muingi ndibakila ziawu ndandu mu thangu ndivutukidi e?”
24 He said to those who stood by, ‘Take the mina away from him and give it to him who has the ten minas.’
Buna wukamba batu bobo baba vana ti: “Lunzionanu sengo kinolo ayi vananu kiawu mutu widi dikumi di bisengo bi nolo.”
25 “They said to him, ‘Lord, he has ten minas!’
Vayi batu beni bankamba: “A Pfumu, keti dikumi didi yandi e!”
26 ‘For I tell you that to everyone who has, will more be given; but from him who does not have, even that which he has will be taken away from him.
Buna niandi wuba vutudila: “Bukiedika ndikulukamba ti kuidi mutu wowo beki bela kumvanaayi kuidi mutu wowo kambulu, bela kunziona banza biobi bidi yandi.
27 But bring those enemies of mine who did not want me to reign over them here, and kill them before me.’”
Bosi lundatina vava bambeni ziama ziozi zimanga ti ndibika ku bayadila ayi luba vondila va meso mama.”
28 Having said these things, he went on ahead, going up to Jerusalem.
Bu kamana tuba mambu momo, Yesu wuba tuaminina ku ntuala mu kuenda ku Yelusalemi.
29 When he came near to Bethsphage and Bethany, at the mountain that is called Olivet, he sent two of his disciples,
Buna beka nduka tula ku Betefange ayi ku Betani, ku ndambu mongo wu beta tedila “mongo minti mi Olive”, buna wutuma minlonguki miandi miodi
30 saying, “Go your way into the village on the other side, in which, as you enter, you will find a colt tied, which no man has ever sat upon. Untie it and bring it.
wuba kamba: —Yendanu ku buala bobo butalini yeno. Beno kota muawu, buna malu monamuana phunda wukangama. Kadi mutu wumosi kavuandidiabu wawu ko. Luniangunawawu ayi lutuala wawu.
31 If anyone asks you, ‘Why are you untying it?’ say to him: ‘The Lord needs it.’”
Enati mutu wuluyuvudi: “bila mbi lulembo niangunina wawu e?” Buna lumvutudila ti: “Pfumu mfunu kavuidi wawu.”
32 Those who were sent went away and found things just as he had told them.
Bobo batumbu bu bayenda, bamona mambu moso boso kabakambila.
33 As they were untying the colt, its owners said to them, “Why are you untying the colt?”
Bu baba nianguna muana phunda, buna batu bobo bavua wawu baba yuvula: —A bila mi luniangunina muana phunda wowo e?
34 They said, “The Lord needs it.”
Bawu bamvutula: —Pfumu mfunu kavuidi wawu.
35 Then they brought it to Jesus. They threw their cloaks on the colt and sat Jesus on them.
Buna bawu nata kuidi Yesu. Bu bamana yala minledi miawu va mbata phunda bakumisa vawu Yesu.
36 As he went, they spread their cloaks on the road.
Bu kaba vioka, mu nzila batu bayala minledi miawu mu nzila.
37 As he was now getting near, at the descent of the Mount of Olives, the whole multitude of the disciples began to rejoice and praise God with a loud voice for all the mighty works which they had seen,
Buna beka nduka tula, bu baba nengumuka mongo wu minti mi olive, nkangu woso wu minlonguki wumona khini, wukembisa Nzambi, mu ndinga yingolo, mu diambu di bikumu biobi mimona.
38 saying, “Blessed is the King who comes in the name of the Lord! Peace in heaven, and glory in the highest!”
Bawu batuba ti: —Bika kasakumunu ntinu wowo wunkuizila mu dizina di Pfumu. Bika ndembama yiba ku diyilu ayi nkembo mu bibuangu bizangama!
39 Some of the Pharisees from the multitude said to him, “Teacher, rebuke your disciples!”
Buna Bafalisi bankaka baba muna nkangu bakamba Yesu ti: —A nlongi, temina minlonguki miaku.
40 He answered them, “I tell you that if these were silent, the stones would cry out.”
Yesu wuba vutudila: —Bukiedika ndikulukamba, enati balembulu biyoko buna matadi mamayamikina.
41 When he came near, he saw the city and wept over it,
Mu thangu kafikama ayi divula, wumona divula ayi wudila mu diambudi divula beni.
42 saying, “If you, even you, had known today the things which belong to your peace! But now, they are hidden from your eyes.
Bosi wutuba: —Enati ngeyo mamvaku wedi zaba, kani ka lumbu kiaku kiaki mambu momo malenda kunatina ndembama! Vayi buabu masuekulu va meso maku.
43 For the days will come on you when your enemies will throw up a barricade against you, surround you, hem you in on every side,
Bila bilumbu biela ku kuizila, biobi bambeni ziaku ziela kaba mimbuingi, ziela kuzungidila, ziela kufietikisa mu zindambu zioso.
44 and will dash you and your children within you to the ground. They will not leave in you one stone on another, because you did not know the time of your visitation.”
Ziela kuvindubula va ntoto va kimosi ayi bana baku badi yaku ayi kadi ditadi dimosi, mu ngeyo, dilendi siala va yilu ditadi dinkaka ko. Bila wusia zaba ko thangu yoyo Nzambi kayiza ku buminina.
45 He entered into the temple and began to drive out those who bought and sold in it,
Yesu wukota mu nzo Nzambi ayi wutona kuka batu bobo baba sumbisa bima, wuba kamba:
46 saying to them, “It is written, ‘My house is a house of prayer,’ but you have made it a ‘den of robbers’!”
—Didi disonama: nzo ama yela ba nzo yi lusambulu vayi beni lukitudi yawu suamunu ki mivi!
47 He was teaching daily in the temple, but the chief priests, the scribes, and the leading men among the people sought to destroy him.
Bilumbu bioso Yesu wulonga mu nzo Nzambi. Zimbumu zi banganga Nzambi, minlongi mi mina ayi bakulutu ba batu batomba diluaku di kumvondisila.
48 They could not find what they might do, for all the people hung on to every word that he said.
Vayi basia zaba ko busila bila batu boso banlandakana mu wa mambu mandi.
