Matthew 17
1 After six days, Jesus took with him Peter, James, and John his brother, and brought them up into a high mountain by themselves.
Bilumbu bisambanu bu bivioka, Yesu wubonga Piela, Zaki ayi Yowani khomba Zaki ayi wuba nata ku yilu mongo wumosi wunda. Kuna bakala bawu veka.
2 He was transfigured before them. His face shone like the sun, and his garments became as white as the light.
Buna wukituka va ntualꞌawu; zizi kiandi kieka nlezima banga thangu ayi minledi miandi mieka miphembi banga kiezila.
3 And look, Moses and Elijah appeared to them talking with him.
Tumbu zimbukila Moyize ayi Eli bamonikina minlonguki; bansolula ayi Yesu.
4 Peter answered, and said to Jesus, "Lord, it is good for us to be here. If you want, let us make three tents here: one for you, one for Moses, and one for Elijah."
Buna Piela wukamba Yesu: —Pfumu, bulutidi mboti tukala kueto vava! Enati tidi, ndieka tunga zinzo zitatu zi ngoto: yimosi mu diambu diaku, yimosi mu diambu di Moyize ayi yimosi mu diambu di Eli.
5 While he was still speaking, look, a bright cloud overshadowed them. And look, a voice came out of the cloud, saying, "This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased. Listen to him."
Buna wukidi tubi, dituti dimosi dinlezama diyiza kubafuka ayi mbembo yitotuka mu dituti beni yiwakana: —Niandi niawu Muanꞌama wu luzolo, khini yiwombo kakumbonisanga; bika lunwila!
6 When the disciples heard it, they fell on their faces, and were very afraid.
Mu thangu minlonguki miwa mbembo beni, mibubika bizizi biawu va ntoto bila boma bubabuila.
7 Jesus came and touched them and said, "Get up, and do not be afraid."
Buna Yesu wufikama; wuba simba ayi wuba kamba: —Lutelama! Lubika mona boma!
8 And when they lifted up their eyes, they saw no one except Jesus alone.
Mu thangu mivumbula meso, niandi veka, Yesu kaka mimona.
9 As they were coming down from the mountain, Jesus commanded them, saying, "Do not tell anyone what you saw, until the Son of Man has risen from the dead."
Bu baba nengumuka mongo, Yesu wuba vana thumunu yayi: —Lubika kamba mambu mama lumueni kuidi mutu nate lumbu Muana Mutu kela fuluka mu bafua.
10 The disciples asked him, saying, "Then why do the scribes say that Elijah must come first?"
Ku nzimunina minlonguki minyuvula: —A bila mbi minlongi mi Mina mieta tubila ti Eli kafueti tuama kuiza theti e?
11 And he answered and said, "Elijah indeed comes, and will restore all things,
Yesu wuvutula: —Bukiedika. Eli wela kuiza ayi wela kubika mambu moso.
12 but I tell you that Elijah has come already, and they did not recognize him, but did to him whatever they wanted to. Even so the Son of Man will also suffer by them."
Vayi minu ndikulukamba ti Eli wuyiza vayi basi kunzaba ko ayi bamvangila mambu boso bubela luzolo luawu. Buawu bobo bela monisina Muana Mutu phasi.
13 Then the disciples understood that he spoke to them of John the Baptist.
Buna minlonguki misudika ti wuyolukila mu diambu di Yowani Mbotiki.
14 When they came to the crowd, a man came to him, kneeling down to him, saying,
Buna batula vaba nkangu wu batu bawombo, mutu wumosi wufikama; wufukama va ntuala Yesu ayi wunleba:
15 "Lord, have mercy on my son, for he is epileptic, and suffers severely; for he often falls into the fire, and often into the water.
—Pfumu, mona muanꞌama wu bakala kiadi! Kimbevo kisisuka kidi yandi ayi wulembo moni ziphasi ziwombo. Zikhumbu ziwombo keta buila ku mbazu voti mu nlangu.
16 So I brought him to your disciples, and they could not cure him."
Ndinnetingi kuidi minlonguki miaku vayi mikadi nunga mu ku mbelusa!
17 Jesus answered, "Faithless and perverse generation. How long will I be with you? How long will I bear with you? Bring him here to me."
Yesu wuvutula: —A beno batu ba tsungi yikambulu minu ayi yimbimbi! Zithangu zikua ndiela kadilanga yeno diaka va kimosi e? Zithangu zikua ndiela buela kangilanga ntima mu bila kieno e? Lundatina niandi vava!
18 Jesus rebuked him, the demon went out of him, and the boy was cured from that hour.
Yesu wutemina pheve yimbimbi beni ayi yawu yitotuka mu muana. Muna yawu thangu muana wubeluka.
19 Then the disciples came to Jesus privately, and said, "Why weren't we able to cast it out?"
Bosi minlonguki miyiza kuidi Yesu, va bawu veka, minyuvula: —Bila mbi beto tusi nunga ko mu kuka pheve yoyi e?
20 So he said to them, "Because of your little faith. For truly I tell you, if you have faith as a grain of mustard seed, you will tell this mountain, 'Move from here to there,' and it will move; and nothing will be impossible for you."
Yesu wuba vutudila: —Bila minu kifioti kidi yeno. Bila bukiedika ndikulukamba ti enati minu kieno kidi banga luteti lolo bantedilanga mutalide, nganu lulenda kamba kuidi mongo wowo: “Botuka vava, yenda kuna!” Ayi wawu wela botuka. Kuisi ko diambu luela lembakana.
[Vayi pheve yimbimbi yiphila yayi yeti totukila kaka mu lusambulu ayi mu kukifuisa nzala mu lusambulu.]
22 While they were gathering together in Galilee, Jesus said to them, "The Son of Man is about to be delivered up into the hands of men,
Bu bayiza va kimosi ku Ngalili, Yesu wuba kamba: —Muana Mutu wela yekolo mu mioko mi batu
23 and they will kill him, and the third day he will be raised up." They were exceedingly sorry.
ayi bela kumvonda; vayi mu lumbu kintatu niandi wela fuluka mu bafua. Buna minlonguki mitona mona kiadi kiwombo.
24 When they had come to Capernaum, those who collected the didrachma coins came to Peter, and said, "Does not your teacher pay the didrachma?"
Mu thangu batula ku Kafalinawumi, batu bobo baba futisanga phaku yi Nzo Nzambi bafikama vaba Piela ayi banyuvula: —A buevi, Nlongiꞌeno kafutanga ko phaku yi Nzo Nzambi e?
25 He said, "Yes." When he came into the house, Jesus anticipated him, saying, "What do you think, Simon? From whom do the kings of the earth receive toll or tribute? From their children, or from strangers?"
Piela wuvutula: —Nyinga, weta futa. Piela bu kakota mu nzo; Yesu wuntuaminina: —Buevi wumbanza Simoni e? Banani beti futa ziphaku kuidi mintinu mi ntoto e? Bana bawu voti banzenza e?
26 And when he said, "From strangers." Jesus said to him, "Therefore the children are exempt.
Piela wuvutula ti: —Zinzenza. Bosi Yesu wunkamba: —Diawu bana balendi futa phaku ko;
27 But, lest we cause them to stumble, go to the sea, cast a hook, and take up the first fish that comes up. When you have opened its mouth, you will find a stater coin. Take that, and give it to them for me and you."
vayi mu diambu tubika kotisa divuda mu batu baba. Yenda ku mbu, loza nziolo mu nlangu; benda mbizi yitheti yimbakana, zibula munuꞌandi, buna ma wumona vanzi. Bonga kiawu ayi wuba vana mu diambu di futa ziphaku zi beto buadi.
