Luke 19
1 And he entered, and passed through Jericho.
Wukota mu divula di Yeliko ayi wudisabuka.
2 And, behold, there was a man called Zacchæus, who was a chief publican; and he was rich.
Tala mutu wumosi, dizina diandi Zakayi, wuba pfumu yi mimfutisi mi ziphaku ayi wuba nkua busina.
3 And he sought to see Jesus, who he was, and was not able on account of the multitude, because he was of small stature.
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 And he ran before, and climbed up a sycamore-tree, that he might see him, for he was about to pass that way.
Buna wuzawula kuna ntuala ayi wumota mu nti wu sikomole mu diambu kamona Yesu bila vana kafueti viokila.
5 And when Jesus came to the place, he looked up and saw him, and said to him: Zacchæus, make haste and come down, for I must spend this day 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 And he made haste and came down, and received him joyfully.
Zakayi wukuluka mu nsualu ayi wutambula Yesu mu khini.
7 And when they saw it, they all murmured, saying: He has gone to be guest with a man that is a sinner.
Bu bamona bobo, batu boso baniunguta ayi batuba: —Tala, wedi leki ku nzo nkua masumu wowo!
8 And Zacchæus stood, and said to the Lord: Behold, Lord, the half of my goods I give to the poor; and if I have taken from any one by false accusation, I restore him fourfold.
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 And Jesus said to him: To-day has salvation come to this house, since 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 has come to seek and to save that which was lost.
Bila muana mutu wuyiza mu tomba ayi mu vukisa bobo baba bazimbala.
11 And as they heard these things, he also spoke a parable, because he was near Jerusalem, and they thought that the kingdom of God would immediately appear.
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 distant 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 And he called his ten servants, and gave them ten pounds, and said to them, Engage in trade till 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 embassy after him, saying, We will not have 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 And it came to pass, that, when he had returned, having received the kingdom, he commanded those servants to be called, to whom he had given the money, that he might know what each had gained by trading.
Bu kamana bieku ntinu, wuvutuka ku tsi andi ayi wutumisa bisadibiobi kasia bikila zimbongo. Wuzola zabathalu yibutisa kadika mutu mu zimbongo zikatambula.
16 And the first came and said: Lord, your pound has gained ten pounds.
Wutheti wuyiza ayi wutuba: “A Pfumu, sengo kiaku ki nolo kibutidi dikumi di bisengo bi nolo.”
17 And he said to him: Well done, good servant; because you have been faithful in a very little, 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 And the second came and said: Lord, your pound has gained five pounds.
Mutu wummuadi wuyiza ayi wutuba: “A Pfumu, sengo kiaku ki nolo kibutidi bisengo bitanu binkaka bi nolo.”
19 And he said to him also: And be you over five cities.
Buna Pfumu wukamba kuidi kisadi kimmuadi: “Ngeyo ndiveni minsua mu yadila mavula matanu.”
20 And another came and said: Lord, behold your pound, which I have kept laid away in a napkin.
Wunkaka wuyiza ayi wutuba: “A Nlongi, tala sengo kiaku kinolo, ndiki sueka bumboti va dikolo di nledi.
21 For I was afraid of you, because you are a hard 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 Then he said to him: Out of your own mouth will I judge you, you wicked servant. You knew that I was a hard man, taking up what I did not lay down, and reaping what 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 And why then did you not put my money into the bank, that, when I came, I could have collected it with interest?
Vayi bila mbi wukambu tudila zimbongo ziama ku banki muingi ndibakila ziawu ndandu mu thangu ndivutukidi e?”
24 And he said to those who stood by: Take from him the pound, and give it to him that has ten pounds.
Buna wukamba batu bobo baba vana ti: “Lunzionanu sengo kinolo ayi vananu kiawu mutu widi dikumi di bisengo bi nolo.”
25 And they said to him: Lord, he has ten pounds.
Vayi batu beni bankamba: “A Pfumu, keti dikumi didi yandi e!”
26 For I say to you, To every one that has, it shall be given; but from him that has not, even that which he has shall be taken away.
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 those who are my enemies, who were not willing that I should rule over them, bring hither, and slay them before me.
Bosi lundatina vava bambeni ziama ziozi zimanga ti ndibika ku bayadila ayi luba vondila va meso mama.”
28 And when he had said these things, he went before, going up to Jerusalem.
Bu kamana tuba mambu momo, Yesu wuba tuaminina ku ntuala mu kuenda ku Yelusalemi.
29 And it came to pass, that, when he came near to Bethphage and Bethany, to the mount called the mount of Olives, 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 into the opposite village, in which, when you enter, you will find a colt tied, on which no man ever sat. Loose him, and bring him.
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 And if any one ask you why you loose him, thus shall you say to him: The Lord has need of him.
Enati mutu wuluyuvudi: “bila mbi lulembo niangunina wawu e?” Buna lumvutudila ti: “Pfumu mfunu kavuidi wawu.”
32 And those who were sent, went, and found as he had said to them.
Bobo batumbu bu bayenda, bamona mambu moso boso kabakambila.
33 And as they were loosing the colt, the owners of him said to them: Why do you loose the colt?
Bu baba nianguna muana phunda, buna batu bobo bavua wawu baba yuvula: —A bila mi luniangunina muana phunda wowo e?
34 They replied: The Lord has need of him.
Bawu bamvutula: —Pfumu mfunu kavuidi wawu.
35 And they brought him to Jesus, and threw their mantles upon the colt, and set Jesus on him.
Buna bawu nata kuidi Yesu. Bu bamana yala minledi miawu va mbata phunda bakumisa vawu Yesu.
36 And as he was going on, they spread their mantles in the road.
Bu kaba vioka, mu nzila batu bayala minledi miawu mu nzila.
37 And when he was now near the descent of the mount of Olives, the whole multitude of the disciples began to rejoice and to praise God, with a loud voice, for all the mighty deeds 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 that 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 And some of the Pharisees from among the multitude, said to him: Teacher, rebuke your disciples.
Buna Bafalisi bankaka baba muna nkangu bakamba Yesu ti: —A nlongi, temina minlonguki miaku.
40 And he answered, and said to them: I say to you, that if these had been silent, the stones would have cried out.
Yesu wuba vutudila: —Bukiedika ndikulukamba, enati balembulu biyoko buna matadi mamayamikina.
41 And when he came near, he looked upon the city, and wept over it,
Mu thangu kafikama ayi divula, wumona divula ayi wudila mu diambudi divula beni.
42 saying: Hadst thou known, even thou, at least in this thy day, the things which were for thy peace! But now, they are hid from thy 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 upon thee, when thy enemies will throw up a mound about thee, and inclose thee around, and keep thee 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 destroy thee and thy children within thee, and will not leave in thee one stone upon another, because thou knewest not the time of thy 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 And he went into the temple, and began to drive out those who were selling in it, and those who were buying,
Yesu wukota mu nzo Nzambi ayi wutona kuka batu bobo baba sumbisa bima, wuba kamba:
46 and said 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 And he was teaching daily in the temple. But the chief priests, and the scribes, and the chief of 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 and found nothing that they could do, for all the people hung on his words.
Vayi basia zaba ko busila bila batu boso banlandakana mu wa mambu mandi.
