Luke 7
1 And when he had completed all his words in the hearing of the people, he entered Capernaum.
Bu kamana kamba batu mambu maba yandi, Yesu wuyenda ku Kafalinawumi.
2 Now the servant of a certain centurion was dying, due to an illness. And he was very dear to him.
Pfumu yimosi yi masodi wuba ayi mvikꞌandi wuba mu kimbevo, wuba nduka mu fua. Pfumu beni wuba zolanga ngolo mvika beni.
3 And when he had heard about Jesus, he sent elders of the Jews to him, petitioning him, so that he would come and heal his servant.
Bu kawa tsangu yi Yesu, buna pfumu beni yi masodi wumfidisila bakulutu ba Bayuda muingi banleba kiza belusa mvikꞌandi.
4 And when they had come to Jesus, they petitioned him anxiously, saying to him: “He is worthy that you should provide this to him.
Bu batula vaba Yesu mbadi banleba: —Niandi fueni wumvangila buawu.
5 For he loves our nation, and he has built a synagogue for us.”
Bila wunzolanga tsi etu ayi niandi veka wututungila nzo yi lukutukunu.
6 Then Jesus went with them. And when he was now not far from the house, the centurion sent friends to him, saying: “Lord, do not trouble yourself. For I am not worthy that you should enter under my roof.
Yesu wuyenda yawu. Buna weka nduka tula ku nzo, pfumu yi masodiwumfidisila bakundi bandi mu kunkamba: —A pfumu, bika kuaku kiyamisa bila ndisi wufuana ko muingi ngeyo wukota mu nzoꞌama.
7 Because of this, I also did not consider myself worthy to come to you. But say the word, and my servant shall be healed.
Diawu ndisi kuiza kudenginina ko minu veka vayi tuba kaka diambu dimosi buna kisadi kiama ma kibeluka.
8 For I also am a man placed under authority, having soldiers under me. And I say to one, ‘Go,’ and he goes; and to another, ‘Come,’ and he comes; and to my servant, ‘Do this,’ and he does it.”
Bila minu veka ndidi ku tsi luyalu lu bapfumu ayi mbeki masodi ma ndieta tumina. Minu kamba kuidi wumosi: “Yenda” makenda. Minu kamba kuidi wunkaka: “Yiza” makiea. Minu kamba kuidi mvikꞌama: “vanga diadi!”, balavanga diawu.
9 And upon hearing this, Jesus was amazed. And turning to the multitude following him, he said, “Amen I say to you, not even in Israel have I found such great faith.”
Yesu wusimina buwombo bu kawa mamu ma pfumu yi masodi. Buna wubaluka kuidi nkangu wuba kunlandakana ayi wutuba: —Bukiedika ndikulukamba ndimueni ko, ka diambu ko mu Iseli, minu kinneni banga kiaki.
10 And those who had been sent, upon returning to the house, found that the servant, who had been sick, was now healthy.
Bamvuala mi pfumu masodi zivutuka kuawu kuna nzo, kuna yiyenda bata mvika beni mu buvini.
11 And it happened afterwards that he went to a city, which is called Nain. And his disciples, and an abundant crowd, went with him.
Mu lumbu kilanda, Yesu wuyenda ku divula dimosi diba bantedilanga Nayini. Minlonguki miandi minlandakana va kimosi ayi nkangu wuwombo.
12 Then, when he had drawn near to the gate of the city, behold, a deceased person was being carried out, the only son of his mother, and she was a widow. And a large crowd from the city was with her.
Bu katula va difula di divula, wudengana batu banata mvumbi ku nganda yidivula. Wuba muana wumosi kaka wu difuola. Nkangu wu wombo wu divula wuba yandi va kimosi.
13 And when the Lord had seen her, being moved by mercy over her, he said to her, “Do not weep.”
Pfumu bu kamona difuola beni buna wummona kiadi ayi wunkamba: —Bika dila.
14 And he drew near and touched the coffin. Then those who carried it stood still. And he said, “Young man, I say to you, arise.”
Bosi wufikama vaba kesi yi mvumbi ayi wutetika koko kuandi va mbata kesi beni. Bobo banata kesi batelama. Buna wukamba: —Ndikutumina, muana ditoko, telama kuaku!
15 And the dead youth sat up and began to speak. And he gave him to his mother.
Zimbukila mutu wuba wufua wuvumbuka, wuvuanda ayi wutona yoluka. Yesu wumvana kuidi ngudi andi.
16 Then fear fell over all of them. And they magnified God, saying: “For a great prophet has risen up among us,” and, “For God has visited his people.”
Babo bamona tsisi, bakembisa Nzambi ayi batuba: —Mbikudi wunneni wututotukidi ayi Nzambi wizidi mu sadisa batu bandi.
17 And this word about him went out to all of Judea and to the entire surrounding region.
Tsangu yi nsamu wawu yitembakana mu Yuda dioso ayi mu bizunga bizungidila.
18 And the disciples of John reported to him concerning all these things.
Minlonguki mi Yowani mimana kamba Yowani mambu moso momo mavioka. Buna wutumisa minlonguki miandi miodi
19 And John called two of his disciples, and he sent them to Jesus, saying, “Are you he who is to come, or should we wait for another?”
ayi wuba fidisa kuidi Pfumu mu diambu banyuvula: —Bukiedika kuandi ti ngeyo mutu wowo wufueti kuiza voti tufueti vingila wunkaka e?
20 But when the men had come to him, they said: “John the Baptist has sent us to you, saying: ‘Are you he who is to come, or should we wait for another?’”
Batu beni bayenda kuidi Yesu ayi bankamba: —Yowani Mbotidi wututumini. Katu kembi tuyuvula: “ngeyo mutu wowo wufueti kuiza voti tufueti vingila wunkaka e?”
21 Now in that same hour, he cured many of their diseases and wounds and evil spirits; and to many of the blind, he gave sight.
Muna thangu yina, Yesu wubelusa batu bawombo baba mu bimbevo ayi mu minsongo. Wubelusa batu bayamusu kuidi ziphevi zimbimbi ayi wuzibula meso ma baphofo bawombo.
22 And responding, he said to them: “Go and report to John what you have heard and seen: that the blind see, the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, the deaf hear, the dead rise again, the poor are evangelized.
Buna wukamba kuidi bobo bafidudu: —Luvutuka kudi Yowani ayi lunkamba mambu momo lumueni ayi luwilu; baphofo zilembu moni; makoka malembu diati; batu ba buazi balembu vedusu, batu bafua matu balembu wi, bafua balembu fuluka; nsamu wumboti wulembu longu kuidi batu basukama.
23 And blessed is anyone who has not taken offense at me.”
Khini kuidi mutu wela manga zimbisa minu kiandi mu diambu diama.
24 And when the messengers of John had withdrawn, he began to speak about John to the crowds. “What did you go out to the desert to see? A reed shaken by the wind?
Bamvuala zi Yowani bu zivutuka, Yesu wubaka diluaku di yolukila mambuma Yowani kudi nkangu wu batu: —Mbi biobi luyenda tala ku dikanga e? Nti wufioti wulembu vevumunu kuidi phemo e?
25 Then what did you go out to see? A man clothed in soft garments? Behold, those who are in costly apparel and finery are in the houses of kings.
Vayi buna nani luyenda tale e? Mutu wuvuata minledi mi kitoko e? Tala batu bobo bamvuatanga minledi mi kitoko ayi banzingilanga mu zikhini mu zinzo zi mintinu bankalanga.
26 Then what did you go out to see? A prophet? Certainly, I tell you, and more than a prophet.
Vayi buna mbi luyenda tala e? Mbikudi luyenda tala e? Nyinga buawu kuandi vayi ndikulukamba ti niandi viokidi mbikudi.
27 This is he of whom it is written: “Behold, I send my Angel before your face, who shall prepare your way before you.”
Bila niandi wuyolukulu mu minkanda ti: Tala mfidisidi mvualꞌala ku ntualꞌaku, niandi wela kubika nzilꞌaku ku ntualꞌaku.
28 For I say to you, among those born of women, no one is greater than the prophet John the Baptist. But he who is least in the kingdom of God is greater than he.”
Bukiedika ndikulukamba: mu batu boso bobo babutu kuidi baketo, kuidiko mutu wowo viokidi Yowani. Vayi wulutidi kefa mu kipfumu ki Diyilu wunlutidi.
29 And upon hearing this, all the people and the tax collectors justified God, by being baptized with the baptism of John.
—Batu boso bawa mambu momo ayi mimfutisi mi ziphaku, bazababusonga bu Nzambi bu babotoko kuidi Yowani.
30 But the Pharisees and the experts in the law despised the counsel of God concerning themselves, by not being baptized by him.
Vayi Bafalisi ayi minlongi mi mina, bobo bamanga botoko kuidi niandi, va meso mawu baloza luzolo lu Nzambi.
31 Then the Lord said: “Therefore, to what shall I compare the men of this generation? And to what are they similar?
Banga banani ndenda dedikisa tsungi yayi e? Yidedikini banga babani e?
32 They are like children sitting in the marketplace, talking with one another, and saying: ‘We sang to you, and you did not dance. We lamented, and you did not weep.’
Yidedikini banga bana bafioti bavuedi va zandu ayi balembu kambasana bawu na bawu: Beto tulusikidi nsioni vayi lusia kina ko. Tuyimbila minkunga mi mafua vayi lusia dila ko.
33 For John the Baptist came, neither eating bread nor drinking wine, and you say, ‘He has a demon.’
Bila Yowani wuyiza, kasia dia mampa ko ayi kasia nua vinu ko. Vayi lukamba: “Pheve yibmimbi yidi yandi.”
34 The Son of man came, eating and drinking, and you say, ‘Behold, a voracious man and a drinker of wine, a friend of tax collectors and of sinners.’
Muana mutu wuyiza; wundia, wunua ayi luntuba: “Niandi nzuna kadi ayi kolu mbungu; nkundi mimfutisi mi ziphaku ayi bankua masumu.”
35 But wisdom is justified by all her children.”
Vayi nduenga yimmonikanga yisonga mu nzila yi bana bandi.
36 Then certain Pharisees petitioned him, so that they might eat with him. And he went into the house of the Pharisee, and he reclined at table.
Mfalisi wumosi wuleba Yesu mu dia yandi va meza. Yesu wuyenda ku nzoꞌandi ayi wuvuanda va meza.
37 And behold, a woman who was in the city, a sinner, found out that he was reclining at table in the house of the Pharisee, so she brought an alabaster container of ointment.
Zimbukila va totuka nketo wumosi wu divula, wuba nsumuki. Wuzaba ti Yesu vuendi va meza ku nzo yi Mfalisi buna wunata bungu ki wala malasi, bungu beni kivangulu mu ditadi di alabatele.
38 And standing behind him, beside his feet, she began to wash his feet with tears, and she wiped them with the hair of her head, and she kissed his feet, and she anointed them with ointment.
Wutelama ku mbusa malu mandi. Wuba dila ayi matsuela mandi mabua mu malu ma Yesu. Buna wufiona mawu mu zitsuki ziandi. Wufifa malu mandi besi ayi wufukudila mawu malasi.
39 Then the Pharisee, who had invited him, upon seeing this, spoke within himself, saying, “This man, if he were a prophet, would certainly know who and what kind of woman is this, who is touching him: that she is a sinner.”
Bu kamona bobo, Mfalisi wowo wutumisa Yesu wuniunguta: enati bukiedika mutu wawu mbikudi nginu bakudingi nani nketowowo wulembu nsimbi nani ayi buevi kadidi; bila nkento nkua masumu.
40 And in response, Jesus said to him, “Simon, I have something to say to you.” So he said, “Speak, Teacher.”
Yesu wunkamba mu mbembo yingolo: —A Simoni, diambu didi yama di kukamba. Buna Mfalisi wumvutudila ti: —A nlongi, tuba kuaku!
41 “A certain creditor had two debtors: one owed five hundred denarii, and the other fifty.
Buna Yesu wunkamba ti: —Vaba mutu wumosi wudevisa zimbongo kuidi batu buadi. Wutheti wudeva zikhama zitanu zi denali bosi wummuandi wudeva makumatanu.
42 And since they did not have the ability to repay him, he forgave them both. So then, which of them loves him more?”
Sumbu bawu buadi basia ba ko zimbongo zikumvutudila, buna wubalemvukila. Mu mpila yaku, mu bawu buadi; nani wela luta kunzola e?
43 In response, Simon said, “I suppose that it is he to whom he forgave the most.” And he said to him, “You have judged correctly.”
Simoni wuvutula: —Minu mbueni Mutu wowo wuba pholo yinneni. Buna Yesu wunkamba: —Bukiedika kuaku tubidi.
44 And turning to the woman, he said to Simon: “Do you see this woman? I entered into your house. You gave me no water for my feet. But she has washed my feet with tears, and has wiped them with her hair.
Bosi wubaluka kuidi nketo ayi wukamba kuidi Simoni: —Mueni nketo wawu e? Mu thangu khotidingi mu nzoꞌaku, wusia kundatinanga ko nlangu mu diambu ndisukula malu. Vayi niandi bodisidingi malu mama mu matsuela mandi ayi fioniningi mawu mu zitsuki ziandi.
45 You gave no kiss to me. But she, from the time that she entered, has not ceased to kiss my feet.
Wusia ku mfifanga besi ko vayi tona buna khotidingi, niandi kakadi vonga mu lembu kafifanga malu mama bibesi.
46 You did not anoint my head with oil. But she has anointed my feet with ointment.
Wusia dukulanga ko mafuta ku ntu ama vayi niandi dukudingimalasi mu malu mama.
47 Because of this, I tell you: many sins are forgiven her, because she has loved much. But he who is forgiven less, loves less.”
Diawu ndikukambila ti masumu mawombo momo mabedi yandi malemvokolobila wumonisina luzolo luwombo. Vayi mutu wowo beta lemvukila fioti, niandi mamvandi fioti kaka keti zodila.
48 Then he said to her, “Your sins are forgiven you.”
Bosi wukamba nketo: —Masumu maku malemvukulu.
49 And those who sat at table with him began to say within themselves, “Who is this, who even forgives sins?”
Batu bobo baba yandi va meza bakambasana bawu na bawu ti: “Buna nani mutu wawu wulemvukila masumu?”
50 Then he said to the woman: “Your faith has brought you salvation. Go in peace.”
Vayi Yesu wukamba nketo: —Minu kiaku kivukisidi; yenda mu ndembama!
