Luke 11
1 Bu kaba sambila va buangu kimso; bu kamanisa, nlonguki andi wumosi wuyiza ayi wunyuvula: —A Pfumu, wutulongisa sambila banga Yowani bu kalongisila minlonguki miandi.
It happened that Jesus was praying in a certain place; and when he had done, one of his disciples said to him, Master, teach us to pray, as John also taught his disciples.
2 Buna wuba vutudila: —Mu thangu lunsambila, lutubanga: Tata, Bika dizina diaku diba dinlongo Bika Kipfumu kiaku kiza
He said to them, When you pray, say, Father, thy name be hallowed; thy Reign come;
3 Wutuvana, kadika lumbu, bidia bioni bifueni
give us each day our daily bread;
4 Wutulemvukila masumu meto bila beto mamveto tueti lemvukila bobo bakutu vangilanga mambimbi ayi kadi kutubika tubua mu phukumunu.
and forgive us our sins, for even we forgive all who offend us; and lead us not into temptation.
5 Buna wubuela diaka: —Zimbukila mutu wumosi mu beno widi ayi nkundi andi, ayi wedi va khatitsika builu mu kunkamba: “A nkundi ama, ndevisa mapha matatu
Moreover, he said to them, Should one of you have a friend, and go to him at midnight, and say, Friend, lend me three loaves;
6 bila nkundi ama wumosi meba mu nzietolo weka yama kuna nzo vayi ndisi ko kadi kima ki kunyakudila.”
for a friend of mine is come off his road to see me, and I have nothing to set before him;
7 Vayi mutu wowo widi mu khati nzo maka mvutudila: “Bila kundiamisa, muelo wukangiminingi ayi bana bama ayi minu veka tukilekidingi; diawu ndilendi kotuka ko mu diambu ndivana mawu.”
and he, from within, should answer, Do not disturb me; the door is now locked; I and my children are in bed; I can not rise to give you:
8 Bukiedika ndikulukamba, kadiambu ko kalendi kotuka ko mu diambu di kumvana mawu bila kadi nkundi andi vayi wela kotuka bila mutu wunawulembu nyamisa, buna wela kumvana bibioso, boso buididi mfunu andi.
I tell you, though he will not rise and supply him, because he is his friend; he will, because of his importunity, get up, and give him as many as he wants.
9 —Diawu ndikulukambila ti: lulomba ayi luela tambula; lutomba ayi luela bakula; lukokuta ayi luela zibudulu.
I likewise tell you, ask, and you shall obtain; seek, and you shall find; knock, and the door shall be opened to you:
10 Bila woso wunlombanga niandi wuntambulanga; woso wuntombanga niandi wumbakulanga ayi woso wunkokutanga niandi wunzibudulungu.
for whosoever asks, obtains; whosoever seeks, finds; and to every one who knocks, the door is opened.
11 Nani mu beno, madise, lenda vana muanꞌandi nioka bu kanlombidi mbizi yi nlangu e?
What father amongst you, would give his son a stone when he asks bread; or, when he asks a fish, would, instead of a fish, give him a serpent;
12 Voti kumvana khutu niandi bu kanlombidi diki e?
or, when he asks an egg, would give him a scorpion?
13 Buna enati beno batu bambimbi luzebi vana bana beno bima bimbotebuna dise dieno didi ku diyilu wela luta vana Mpeve yinlongo kuidi bobobakunlombanga yawu.
If you, therefore, bad as you are, can give good things to your children; how much more will your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to them that ask him!
14 Buna wutotula mpeve yimbimbi yi dibaba. Mpeve yimbimbi bu yitotuka, dibaba dieka yoluka ayi nkangu wu batu wusimina.
Again, he was expelling a demon, which caused dumbness; and when the demon was gone out, the dumb spake, and the people wondered.
15 Vayi ndambu yi batu mu bawu batuba: —Keti mu lulendo lu Belezebuli, pfumu yi ziphevi zimbimbi, kalembo totudila ziphevi zimbimbi.
Some, however, said, He expels demons by Beelzebub, the prince of demons.
16 Bankaka mu kumfiela banlomba dimbu kintotukila ku diyilu.
Others, to try him, asked of him a sign from heaven.
17 Vayi kazaba mayindu mawu, buna wuba kamba: —Kipfumu kioso kivasukidi kiawu veka kifueti muangana ayi nzo yivasukidi yawu veka yifueti bua.
But he, knowing their thoughts, said to them, By intestine broils, any kingdom may be desolated, one family falling after another.
18 Enati satana vasukidi niandi veka, buna buevi kipfumu kiandikilenda zingila e? Bila beno lulembo tubi ti mu lulendo lu Belezebuli ndilembo totudila ziphevi zimbimbi.
Now, if there be intestine broils in the kingdom of Satan; how can that kingdom subsist? for, you say, that I expel demons by Beelzebub.
19 Enati bukiedika ti mu lulendo lu Belezebuli ndilembo totudila ziphevi zimbimbi, buna nani wuvana bana beno lulendo lutotudila ziawu e? Diawu bela ba mazuzi meno.
Moreover, if I by Beelzebub expel demons; by whom do your sons expel them? Wherefore they shall be your judges.
20 Vayi enati mu lulendo lu Nzambi ndilembu totudila ziphevi zimbimbibuna luzaba ti kipfumu ki Nzambi kieka vadi beno.
But if I, by the finger of God, expel demons, the Reign of God has overtaken you.
21 Mutu widi ngolu ayi widi binduanina bifuana bu kalembu sungi nzoꞌandi buna bima biandi bidi mu ndembama.
When the strong one armed, guards his palace, his effects are secure.
22 Vayi enati vatotukidi mutu wunlutidi ngolu ayi wunnungini buna ma kanziona binduanina biandi bioso bi kabedi tudilanga diana, ma kanziona bima biandi bioso ayi ma kakabula biawu.
But if he who is stronger, shall attack and overcome him, he will strip him of his armor, on which he relied, and dispose of his spoils.
23 Woso kambulu ku ndambu ama buna mbeni ama, ayi woso wunkamba kupika yama buna niandi lembu sasikisa.
He who is not for me, is against me; and he who gathers not with me, scatters.
24 —Mu thangu mpeve yimbimbi yitotukidi mu mutu, buna yindiengilangamu bibuangu biyuma mu tomba luvundulu vayi enati yikadi baka buangu, buna yintubanga: “Bika ndivutuka mu nzoꞌama yoyi nditotukila.”
The unclean spirit, when he is gone out of a man, wanders over parched deserts, in search of a resting place. But not finding any, he says, I will return to my house, whence I came.
25 Bu yivutukidi buna yimbabanga nzoꞌandi yinkombulu ayi yikubulu bumboti.
Being come, he finds it swept and embellished.
26 Bosi yimvutukanga ayi yimbonganga tsambudi di ziphevi zinkaka, zimviatukidi nganzi. Bu zikotidi buna zinkalanga muna. Buna khadulu yi zimunina yi mutu wowo yilutidi biva ayi yina yithete.
Then he goes and brings seven other spirits more wicked than himself; and having entered, they dwell there; and the last state of that man becomes worse than the first.
27 Muthangu kaba tuba bobo, nketo wumosi wuba muna nkangu wuyamikina: —Khini kuidi nketo wubuta ayi wuyemika.
While he was saying these things, a woman, raising her voice, cried to him, from amidst the crowd, Happy the womb which bore you! and the breast which suckled you!
28 Vayi Yesu wumvutudila: —Khini kuidi bobo beti wanga ayi beti tumukinanga mambu ma Nzambi.
Say, rather, replied he, Happy they who hear the word of God, and obey.
29 Nkangu wu batu bu wukutakana, buna wutuba: —Tsungi yayi yidi tsungi yimbimbi yilembo tombi dimbu. Dimbu … Yilendi tambula dimbu dinkaka ko boyula kaka ko botula kakakioki ki Zonasi.
When the people crowded together, he said, This is an evil generation. They demand a sign; but no sign shall be given them, only the sign of Jonah.
30 Bila banga bubela Zonasi dimbu kuidi basi Ninive, buawu bobo Muana Mutu kela bela dimbu kuidi batu ba tsungi yayi.
For, as Jonah was a sign to the Ninevites, so shall the Son of Man be to this generation.
31 Mu lumbu ki tsambusu, ntinu wu nketo wu Sude wela telama va kimosiayi batu ba tsungi yayi ayi wela bazengila nkanu. Bila niandi wubaku tsongi ntoto mu diambu di kuiza wa malongi ma diela ma Salomo. Muaki tala mutu widi vava viatukidi Salomo.
The queen of the south country will arise in the judgment against the men of this generation, and cause them to be condemned: because she came from the extremities of the earth, to hear the wise discourses of Solomon: and behold, here is something greater than Solomon.
32 Mu lumbu ki tsambusu basi Ninive bela telama va kimosi ayi batu ba tsungi yayi ayi bela bazingila nkanu bila bawu babalula mavanga mawu bu bawa malongi ma Zonasi. Muaki vava vadi mutu wuviatukidi Zonasi.
The men of Nineveh will stand up in the judgment against this generation, and cause it to be condemned: because they reformed when warned by Jonah: and behold, here is something greater than Jonah.
33 Kuisi ko mutu bu kameni lemisa muinda, wuntulanga wawu va buangu kisuama voti ku tsi katini. Vayi wuntulanga wawu va yilu meza mu diambu babo bankota mu nzo bamona kiezila kiandi.
A lamp is lighted, not to be concealed, or put under a vessel, but on a stand; that they who enter may have light.
34 —Meso maku mawu muinda mu nitu aku. Mu thangu meso maku madi mamboti buna nitu aku yimvimba yidi mu kiezila. Vayi enati madi mambimbibuna nitu aku yimvimba yidi mu tombi.
The lamp of the body is the eye: when, therefore, your eye is sound, the whole body is enlightened; but when your eye is distempered, your body is in darkness.
35 Diawu lubuka mu diambu di kiezila kidi mu ngeyo kibika kituka tombi.
Take heed, then, lest the light which is in you, be darkness.
36 Diawu enati nitu aku yimvimba yidi mu kiezila, mu kambu ndambu yi nitu mu tombi buna yela ba yikienzuka ngolo banga mu thangu muinda wukukienzulanga mu nlaki andi.
If your whole body, therefore, be enlightened, having no part dark; the whole will be so enlightened, as when a lamp lights you by its flame.
37 Bu kaba yoluka, Mfalisi wumosi wuntumisa mu dia ku nzoꞌandi. Bu kakota wuvuanda va meza.
While he was speaking, a Pharisee asked him to dine with him. And he went and placed himself at table.
38 Mfalisi bu kamona bobo, wusimina bila Yesu kasi kisukula ko tuamina kadia.
But the Pharisee was surprised to observe that he used no washing before dinner.
39 Buna Pfumu wunkamba: —Bena Bafalisi lunsukulanga bumboti va mbata yi kopo ayi yi dilonga vayi mu khati lufulukidi ayi mayindu ma buivi ayi mambimbi.
Then the Lord said to him, As for you, Pharisees, you cleanse the outside of your cups and dishes, while you yourselves are inwardly full of rapacity and malevolence.
40 Beno luidi bivulu! Mutu wowo wuvanga va mbata kasia vanga ko mu khati e?
Unthinking men! did not he who made the outside, make the inside also?
41 Luvana bima biobi bidi yeno kuidi minsukami buna bosi bima bioso biela ba bivedila.
Only give in alms what you have, and all things shall be clean to you.
42 Vayi mabienga kuidi beno Bafalisi bila lumvananga kuku ki kumi ki mintindu mioso mi biti ayi ki “meti ayi li” vayi lunlenzanabusongaayi luzolo lu Nzambi. Nganu mawu mama mambu lufueti vanganga ayi kadi zimbaka mana.
Alas, for you, Pharisees! because you pay the tithe of mint and rue, and of every kind of herb, and neglect justice and the love of God. These things you ought to have practiced, and not to have omitted those.
43 Mabienga kuidi beno Bafalisi bila lunzolanga vuanda mu bibuangubinzitusu mu zinzo zi zikhutukunu; lunzolanga baluvaninanga mbotimu bibuangu bi batu bawombo.
Alas, for you, Pharisees! because you love the most conspicuous seats in synagogues, and salutations in public places.
44 Mabienga kuidi beno! Ludedikini banga mabumbi mankumbu monika; batu balembu madiatidila mu kambu zaba.
Alas, for you! because you are like concealed graves, over which people walk without knowing it.
45 Vana vawu nlongi wumosi wu mina wuyuvula Yesu ti: —Nlongi, bu wulembu tubi mambu momo buna beto kuandi wulembo fingi.
Here, one of the lawyers interposing, said, By speaking thus, Rabbi, you reproach us also.
46 Buna Yesu wumvutudila ti: —Mabienga ayi kuidi beno minlongi mi mina bila lueta kuika batu bizitu bidi zitu mu nata vayi beno veka kadi nlembo eno wumosi wusimbanga ko bizitu beni.
He answered, Alas, for you, lawyers! also; because you lade men with intolerable burdens--burdens which you yourselves will not so much as touch with one of your fingers.
47 Mabienga kuidi beno bila lueta tunga mabumbi ma mimbikudi ayi bakulu beno baba vonda.
Alas, for you! because you build the monuments of the prophets, whom your fathers killed.
48 Lueta telimina mavanga ma bakulu beno kimbangi ayi lueti monangakhini. Bila bawu baba vonda vayi beno luntunganga mabumbi mawu.
Surely you are both vouchers and accessories to the deeds of your fathers; for they killed them, and you build their monuments.
49 Diawu nzayilu yi Nzambi yitubila ti: “Ndiela kuba fidisila mimbikudi ayi bamvuala, bela vondabankaka ayi bela yamisa bankaka.”
Wherefore, thus says the wisdom of God, I will send them prophets and Apostles: some of them they will kill, others they will banish;
50 Muingi menga ma mimbikudi mioso matengulu tona va vangimina ntoto mela tombulu va tsungi yayi
so that the blood of all the prophets, which has been shed since the formation of the world, shall be required of this generation;
51 tona mu menga ma Abeli nate mu menga ma Zakali, mutu wowo bavondila va khatitsika diziku dinyokulungu makaba ayi nzo Nzambi. Bukiedika ndikulukamba mambu moso momo mela builu batu ba tsungi yayi.
from the blood of Abel, to the blood of Zechariah, who fell between the altar and the house of God. Yes, I assure you, all shall be required of this generation.
52 Mabienga kuidi beno minlongi mi Mina, beno luziona tsabi yinzayilu. Kadi sia ti beno veka lu kotanga ko vayi lunkandikanga bobo bazola kota.
Alas, for you, lawyers! because you have carried off the key of knowledge; you have not entered yourselves, and those who entering, you hindered.
53 Bu kabotuka vana, minsoniki ayi Bafalisi batona kumfietikisaayi banzonzisa mu mambu mawombo;
While he spoke these things, the Scribes and the Pharisees began vehemently to press him with questions, on many points;
54 banlekila mintambu; batomba diambu dilenda totukila mu munuꞌandi muingibabaka bila ki kumfundila.
laying snares for him, in order to draw from his own mouth, matter of accusation against him.
