Luke 18
1 And He also spoke an allegory to them, that it is always necessary to pray and not to faint,
Yesu wukamba minlonguki miandi nongo yayi mu diambu di kuba sudikisa ti bafueti sambilanga mu zithangu zioso mu kambu vonga.
2 saying, “A certain judge was in a certain city—he is not fearing God, and he is not regarding man—
—Kuba zuzi dimosi diba mu divula dimosi, zuzi beni kaba monanga Nzambi tsisi ko ayi kaba kinzikanga ko kadi mutu wumosi.
3 and a widow was in that city, and she was coming to him, saying, Do me justice on my opponent,
Mu divula beni muba diaka difuola dimosi. Difuola beni diba kuizanga kuidi niandi ayi diba kunkambanga: “Bika wundungisa va ntuala mbeni ama”.
4 and he would not for a time, but after these things he said in himself, Even if I do not fear God, and do not regard man,
Thangu yiwombo zuzi beni kasia zola ko. Vayi niandi wukamba mu ntimꞌandi ti: “ka diambu ko ndimonanga Nzambi tsisi ayi ndikinzikanga batu ko,
5 yet because this widow gives me trouble, I will do her justice, lest, continuously coming, she may bruise me.”
vayi difuola diandi dilembu thatisa buna ndieka kunnungisa muingi kabika buela kuiza ku thatisanga.”
6 And the LORD said, “Hear what the unrighteous judge says:
Buna Pfumu wela tuba diaka: —Lunwa bumboti mambu matuba zuzi diodi di mbimbi.
7 and will God not execute justice to His chosen ones, who are crying to Him day and night—bearing long in regard to them?
Buna lumbanza ti Nzambi kalendi nungisa ko batu bandi bobo kasobula ayi bobo baku nsambilanga builu ayi muini? Beno lumbanzila ti niandi wela zingila mu kuba sadisa e?
8 I say to you that He will execute justice to them quickly; but the Son of Man having come, will He find faith on the earth?”
Bukiedika ndikulukamba, mu nsualu kela kuba nungisa. Vayi muana mutubu kela kuiza, buna wela kuiza bata kuandi batu badi minu va ntoto e?
9 And He also spoke to some who have been trusting in themselves that they were righteous, and have been despising the rest, this allegory:
Wubuela tuba diaka nongo yayi mu diambu di batu bobobakukimonanga ti badi batu basonga vayi banlenzanga bankaka.
10 “Two men went up to the temple to pray, one a Pharisee, and the other a tax collector;
—Babakala buadi bayenda ku nzo Nzambi mu diambu di sambila. Mfalisi wumosi ayi mfutisi wu ziphaku wumosi.
11 the Pharisee having stood by himself, thus prayed: God, I thank You that I am not as the rest of men, rapacious, unrighteous, adulterers, or even as this tax collector;
Mfalisi wutelama va lutengo ayi wusambila lusambulu lualu: “A Nzambi, ndikuvutudila matondo bu khambulu dedakana bangabatu bankaka, bobo banzionanga bima bingana, bobo bakambulu basonga, bobo bavanganga kitsuza voti bobo badi kuandi banga mfutisi wu ziphaku wowo.
12 I fast twice in the week, I give tithes of all things—as many as I possess.
Minu mu kadika sabala bilumbu biodi ndieta kukifuisila nzala mu diambu di lusambulu ayi ndieta vana kuku ki kumi mu bima bioso biobi bidi yama.”
13 And the tax collector, having stood far off, would not even lift up the eyes to the sky, but was striking on his breast, saying, God be propitious to me—the sinner!
Mfutisi wu ziphaku thama kayenda telimina ayi kasia zolavumbula meso mandi ku diyilu ko. Vayi thulu andi yawu kaba bundanga bu katuba: “A Nzambi, bika wumbona kiadi bila ndidi nkua masumu!”
14 I say to you, this one went down declared righteous, to his house, rather than that one: for everyone who is exalting himself will be humbled, and he who is humbling himself will be exalted.”
Bukiedika ndikulukamba, mfutisi wu ziphaku wowo sumbu kavutuka ku nzo andi, wumonika wusonga va meso ma Nzambi vayi bika mutu wowo wunkaka bila woso wukukikululanga wela nanguku ayi woso wukukinangikanga wela kululu.
15 And they were also bringing the babies near, that He may touch them, and the disciples having seen, rebuked them,
Bannatisa bana bafioti muingi kaba simba vayi minlonguki bu mimonabobo mitubidila batu bobo babanata.
16 and Jesus having called them near, said, “Permit the little children to come to Me, and do not forbid them, for of such is the Kingdom of God;
Yesu wuba tumisa ayi wuba kamba: —Bika bana bafioti biza kuidi minu ayi kadi kuba kandika bila kipfumu ki Nzambi kivuiwulu kuidi batu badi banga bobo.
17 truly I say to you, whoever may not receive the Kingdom of God as a little child, may not enter into it.”
Bukiedika ndikulukamba ti woso wunkambu tambula Kipfumu ki Nzambi banga muana wu fioti kalendi mu kota ko.
18 And a certain ruler questioned Him, saying, “Good Teacher, what having done—will I inherit continuous life?” (aiōnios g166)
Buna pfumu yimosi yinyuvula: —A nlongi wumboti, diambu mbi mvanga muingi ndibaka luzingu lukalumani e? (aiōnios g166)
19 And Jesus said to him, “Why do you call Me good? No one [is] good, except one—God;
Buna Yesu wumvutudila: —Bila mbi wukuthedila wumboti? Kuisi ko mutu wumboti botula kaka, Nzambi.
20 you have known the commands: You may not commit adultery, You may not murder, You may not steal, You may not bear false witness, Honor your father and your mother.”
Keti zebi zithumunu: Kadi vanga kitsuza, kadi vonda, kadi yiba, kadi telama kimbangi ki luvunu, kinzika siaku ayi ngudi aku.
21 And he said, “All these I kept from my youth”;
Buna niandi wuvutula: —Ndinkebanga mambu moso momo tona bumuana buama.
22 and having heard these things, Jesus said to him, “Yet one thing to you is lacking: all things—as many as you have—sell, and distribute to the poor, and you will have treasure in Heaven, and come, follow Me”;
Yesu bu kawa bobo, buna wunkamba: —Diambu dimosi dinkamba kuidi ngeyo: Yenda sumbisa bima bioso biobi bidi yaku ayi kabudila minsukami bioso wumbaka buna wela bakakiuka ku diyilu. Buna bosi wiza ayi wundandakana.
23 and he, having heard these things, became very sorrowful, for he was exceedingly rich.
Bu kawa bobo, kiadi kingolo kimbuila bila kimvuama kiwombo kiba yandi.
24 And Jesus having seen him become very sorrowful, said, “How hardly will those having riches enter into the Kingdom of God!
Yesu bu kamona ti mutu beni weka kiadi-kiadi buna wutuba: —Didi diambu di phasi kuidi batu badi kimvuama mu kota mu kipfumu ki Nzambi.
25 For it is easier for a camel to enter through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the Kingdom of God.”
Bila kadi kuandi phasi kuidi kamela mu viokila va divudu di tsoma vayi phasi kuidi nkua kimvuama mu kota mu kipfumu ki Nzambi.
26 And those who heard, said, “And who is able to be saved?”
Buna batu bobo bawa bobo, batuba: —Buna nani wulenda vuka e?
27 And He said, “The things impossible with men are possible with God.”
Yesu wuba vutudila: —Mambu momo batu beti lembakana, Nzambi lenda ku mavanga.
28 And Peter said, “Behold, we left all, and followed You”;
Buna Piela wunyuvula: —Tata, tumana yekula bibioso ayi tulandakana.
29 and He said to them, “Truly I say to you that there is not one who left house, or parents, or brothers, or wife, or children, for the sake of the Kingdom of God,
Yesu wuba vutudila: —Bukiedika ndikulukamba, kuisi ko mutu wusia bika mu diambu di Kipfumu ki Nzambi, nzo andi, bambuta bandi bakhomba bandi, nketo andi voti bana bandi,
31 And having taken the Twelve aside, He said to them, “Behold, we go up to Jerusalem, and all things will be accomplished that have been written through the prophets to the Son of Man,
Yesu wunata kumi ayi mimvuala miodi ayi wuba kamba: —Tala, tueka kuenda ku Yelusalemi ayi mambu moso masonika mimbikudi mu diambu di Muana Mutu meka sunduka.
32 for He will be delivered up to the nations, and will be mocked, and insulted, and spit on,
Bila bela kunyekula mu mioko mi bapakanu, bela kunsekinina, bela kumfinga, bela kunlobudila madita;
33 and having scourged they will put Him to death, and on the third day He will rise again.”
ayi bela kunzuba bikoti, bela kumvonda. Bosi wela fuluka mu lumbu kintatu.
34 And they understood none of these things, and this saying was hid from them, and they were not knowing the things said.
Minlonguki misia sudika kadi diambu dimosi ko mu mambu moso mana bila tsundu yi mambu momo yiba yisuama kuidi bawu; ayi misia bakula ko mambu mbi Yesu kaba yolukilanga.
35 And it came to pass, in His coming near to Jericho, a certain blind man was sitting beside the way begging,
Yesu bu kafikama ayi Yeliko, phofo yimosi yivuanda mu yenda nzila, wuba lombanga zimbongo.
36 and having heard a multitude going by, he was inquiring what this may be,
Bu kawa biyoko bi nkangu wu batu wuba vioka, buna wuyuvula kani mbi biobi.
37 and they brought him word that Jesus the Nazarene passes by,
Buna bamvutudila ti Yesu muisi Nazaleti wulembu vioki.
38 and he cried out, saying, “Jesus, Son of David, deal kindly with me”;
Buna wuyamikina mu ndinga yingolo ti: —Yesu, Muana Davidi, wumboni kiadi!
39 and those going before were rebuking him, that he might be silent, but he was crying out much more, “Son of David, deal kindly with me!”
Btu bobo baba ku ntuala nkangu bantemina muingi kabika biyoko vayiniandiwuluta buela yamikina: —A muana Davidi, wumboni kiadi!
40 And Jesus having stood, commanded him to be brought to Him, and he having come near, He questioned him,
Yesu bu katelama, buna wuvana lutumu ti bannatina niandi. Bu kafikama, Yesu wunyuvula:
41 saying, “What do you will I will do to you?” And he said, “Lord, that I may receive sight.”
—A diambu mbi tidi ndivangila e? Wumvutudila: —A pfumu, ntidi buela mona.
42 And Jesus said to him, “Receive your sight; your faith has saved you”;
Buna Yesu wunkamba: —Mona kuaku bila minu kiaku kibelusidi.
43 and instantly he received sight, and was following Him, glorifying God; and all the people, having seen, gave praise to God.
Vana vawu niandi wumona ayi wunlandakana. Wunkembisa Nzambi. Batu boso bu bamona bobo bakembisa Nzambi.
