Luke 7
1 After he had completed all his sayings within the hearing of the people, he entered into Capernaum.
Bu kamana kamba batu mambu maba yandi, Yesu wuyenda ku Kafalinawumi.
2 And, a certain centurion’s servant, being sick, was on the point of dying, —who was, by him, highly prized.
Pfumu yimosi yi masodi wuba ayi mvikꞌandi wuba mu kimbevo, wuba nduka mu fua. Pfumu beni wuba zolanga ngolo mvika beni.
3 But, hearing about Jesus, he sent forth unto him elders of the Jews, requesting him that he would come and bring his servant safely through.
Bu kawa tsangu yi Yesu, buna pfumu beni yi masodi wumfidisila bakulutu ba Bayuda muingi banleba kiza belusa mvikꞌandi.
4 And, they, coming near unto Jesus, began beseeching him earnestly, saying—Worthy, is he for whom thou mayest do this,
Bu batula vaba Yesu mbadi banleba: —Niandi fueni wumvangila buawu.
5 for he loveth our nation, and, the synagogue, he, built for us.
Bila wunzolanga tsi etu ayi niandi veka wututungila nzo yi lukutukunu.
6 And, Jesus, was journeying with them. But, he, by this time, being not far from the house, the centurion sent friends, saying unto him—Lord! do not trouble thyself, for I am of no consideration, that, under my roof, thou shouldst enter.
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 Wherefore, neither deemed I, myself, worthy to come unto thee, —but speak with a word, and let my servant be healed.
Diawu ndisi kuiza kudenginina ko minu veka vayi tuba kaka diambu dimosi buna kisadi kiama ma kibeluka.
8 For, I too, am a man ranked, under authority, having, under myself, soldiers; and I say to this one—Go! and he goeth, —and to another—Come! and he cometh, —and to my servant—Do this! and he doeth 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, hearing these things, Jesus marvelled at him; and, turning to the multitude following him, said—I tell you, Not even in Israel, such faith as this, have I found!
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 they who were sent, returning unto the house, found the servant, well.
Bamvuala mi pfumu masodi zivutuka kuawu kuna nzo, kuna yiyenda bata mvika beni mu buvini.
11 And it came to pass thereafter, that he journeyed unto a city called Nain, and there were journeying with him, his disciples and a great multitude.
Mu lumbu kilanda, Yesu wuyenda ku divula dimosi diba bantedilanga Nayini. Minlonguki miandi minlandakana va kimosi ayi nkangu wuwombo.
12 Now, as he drew near unto the gate of the city, then lo! there was being brought forth, one dead, the only-begotten son of his mother, —and, she, was a widow; and, a considerable multitude of 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, beholding her, the Lord, was moved with compassion over her, and said to her—Be not weeping!
Pfumu bu kamona difuola beni buna wummona kiadi ayi wunkamba: —Bika dila.
14 And, going forward, he touched the coffin, and the bearers stood still; and he said—Young man! to thee, I say, 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 man 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 And fear seized them, all, and they began to glorify God, saying—A great prophet, hath been raised up amongst us! and—God hath visited his people!
Babo bamona tsisi, bakembisa Nzambi ayi batuba: —Mbikudi wunneni wututotukidi ayi Nzambi wizidi mu sadisa batu bandi.
17 And this report went forth throughout the whole of Judaea, and all the surrounding country.
Tsangu yi nsamu wawu yitembakana mu Yuda dioso ayi mu bizunga bizungidila.
18 And John’s disciples carried tidings unto him concerning all these things.
Minlonguki mi Yowani mimana kamba Yowani mambu moso momo mavioka. Buna wutumisa minlonguki miandi miodi
19 And, calling unto him certain two of his disciples, John sent unto the Lord, saying—Art, thou, the Coming One, or, a different one, are we to expect?
ayi wuba fidisa kuidi Pfumu mu diambu banyuvula: —Bukiedika kuandi ti ngeyo mutu wowo wufueti kuiza voti tufueti vingila wunkaka e?
20 And, coming near unto him, the men said—John the Immerser, hath sent us unto thee, saying, Art, thou, the Coming One, or, another, are we to expect?
Batu beni bayenda kuidi Yesu ayi bankamba: —Yowani Mbotidi wututumini. Katu kembi tuyuvula: “ngeyo mutu wowo wufueti kuiza voti tufueti vingila wunkaka e?”
21 In that very hour, he cured many from diseases, and plagues, and wicked spirits; and, unto many blind, gave he the favour to see.
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, answering, he said unto them—Go and bear tidings unto John, as to what ye have seen and heard: The blind, are receiving sight, the lame, walk, lepers, are cleansed, and, the deaf, hear, the dead, are raised, the destitute, are told the glad-message;
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, happy, is he, whosoever shall not find occasion of stumbling in me!
Khini kuidi mutu wela manga zimbisa minu kiandi mu diambu diama.
24 And, the messengers of John having departed, he began to say unto the multitudes, concerning John—What went ye forth into the desert to gaze at? A reed, by a wind, shaken?
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 But what went ye forth to see? A man, in soft garments, arrayed? Lo! they who in splendid apparel and luxury are found, are, in the kingly courts.
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 But what went ye forth to see? A prophet? Yea! I say unto you, —and abundantly 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 concerning whom it is written—Lo! I am sending forth my messenger before thy face, who shall prepare thy way before thee.
Bila niandi wuyolukulu mu minkanda ti: Tala mfidisidi mvualꞌala ku ntualꞌaku, niandi wela kubika nzilꞌaku ku ntualꞌaku.
28 I say unto you—A greater, among them that are born of women, than John, is there none; but, he that 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, all the people, when they heard, and the tax-collectors, justified God, having been immersed with the immersion of John;
—Batu boso bawa mambu momo ayi mimfutisi mi ziphaku, bazababusonga bu Nzambi bu babotoko kuidi Yowani.
30 but, the Pharisees and the lawyers, had set aside, the counsel of God against themselves, not being immersed by him.
Vayi Bafalisi ayi minlongi mi mina, bobo bamanga botoko kuidi niandi, va meso mawu baloza luzolo lu Nzambi.
31 Unto what, then, shall I liken the men of this generation? And unto what are they like?
Banga banani ndenda dedikisa tsungi yayi e? Yidedikini banga babani e?
32 They are like unto the children sitting, in a market-place, and calling one to another, who say—We played the flute for you, and ye danced not, We wailed, and ye wept not.
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 Immerser hath come, neither eating bread nor drinking wine, and ye say—A demon, he hath:
Bila Yowani wuyiza, kasia dia mampa ko ayi kasia nua vinu ko. Vayi lukamba: “Pheve yibmimbi yidi yandi.”
34 The Son of Man hath come, eating and drinking, and ye say—Lo! a man, gluttonous and a wine-drinker, a friend of tax-collectors and sinners.
Muana mutu wuyiza; wundia, wunua ayi luntuba: “Niandi nzuna kadi ayi kolu mbungu; nkundi mimfutisi mi ziphaku ayi bankua masumu.”
35 And yet wisdom hath been justified by all her children.
Vayi nduenga yimmonikanga yisonga mu nzila yi bana bandi.
36 And a certain one of the Pharisees was requesting him, that he would eat with him; and, entering into the house of the Pharisee, he reclined.
Mfalisi wumosi wuleba Yesu mu dia yandi va meza. Yesu wuyenda ku nzoꞌandi ayi wuvuanda va meza.
37 And, lo! a woman, who indeed was in the city a sinner; and, when she found out that he was reclining in the house of the Pharisee, providing an alabaster-jar of perfume,
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, near his feet, weeping, with the tears, began she to be wetting his feet, and, with the hair of her head, was wiping off [the tears], and was tenderly kissing his feet, and anointing them with the perfume.
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 But the Pharisee who had invited him, seeing it, spake within himself, saying, This one, if he were the prophet, would have been taking note, who and of what sort, is the woman, who is even 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, making answer, Jesus said unto him—Simon! I have, unto thee, something to say. He, then—Teacher, speak!—saith he.
Yesu wunkamba mu mbembo yingolo: —A Simoni, diambu didi yama di kukamba. Buna Mfalisi wumvutudila ti: —A nlongi, tuba kuaku!
41 Two debtors, there were, to a certain creditor, —the one, owed five hundred denaries, 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 they not having wherewith to pay, he forgave, both. Which of them, therefore, will love him, more?
Sumbu bawu buadi basia ba ko zimbongo zikumvutudila, buna wubalemvukila. Mu mpila yaku, mu bawu buadi; nani wela luta kunzola e?
43 Making answer, Simon said—I suppose, that he to whom, the more, he forgave. And, he, said unto him—Rightly, hast thou judged.
Simoni wuvutula: —Minu mbueni Mutu wowo wuba pholo yinneni. Buna Yesu wunkamba: —Bukiedika kuaku tubidi.
44 And, turning towards the woman, unto Simon, he said—Seest thou this woman? I entered into thy house: water to me, on my feet, thou didst not give, —but, she, with her tears, hath wetted my feet, and, with her hair, wiped off [the tears].
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 A kiss, to me, thou didst not give, —but, she, from the time I came in, hath not ceased tenderly kissing my feet.
Wusia ku mfifanga besi ko vayi tona buna khotidingi, niandi kakadi vonga mu lembu kafifanga malu mama bibesi.
46 With oil, my head, thou didst not anoint, —but, she, with perfume, hath anointed, my feet.
Wusia dukulanga ko mafuta ku ntu ama vayi niandi dukudingimalasi mu malu mama.
47 For which cause, I say unto thee—Her many sins, have been forgiven, because she hath loved, much: but, he to whom little is forgiven, little, loveth.
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 And he said unto her—Thy sins have been forgiven.
Bosi wukamba nketo: —Masumu maku malemvukulu.
49 And they who were reclining together, began to be saying within themselves—Who is, this, that, even forgiveth sins?
Batu bobo baba yandi va meza bakambasana bawu na bawu ti: “Buna nani mutu wawu wulemvukila masumu?”
50 But he said unto the woman—Thy faith, hath saved thee, —Go thy way into peace.
Vayi Yesu wukamba nketo: —Minu kiaku kivukisidi; yenda mu ndembama!
