Luke 12
1 Muna thangu yina, nkangu wu batu wuwombo-wombo wukutakana, babandiatasana bawu na bawu mu malu. Buna Yesu wutona kamba theti minlonguki miandi: —Lulubukila luvi lu Bafalisi. Mayuya mawu luawu luvi beni.
In the mean time, when there were gathered together an innumerable multitude of people, insomuch that they trode one upon another, he began to say unto his disciples first of all, Beware ye of the leaven of the Pharisees, which is hypocrisy.
2 Bila kuisi ko diambu disuama diela kambu zabukusu voti kuisi ko matsueki mela kambu zabakana.
For there is nothing covered, that shall not be revealed; neither hid, that shall not be known.
3 Diawu mambu moso luyolukila mu tombi mela wakakana ku kiezila ayi momo luyolukila va dikutu, mu bivinga, mela yamukusu ku mbata muangu.
Therefore whatsoever ye have spoken in darkness shall be heard in the light; and that which ye have spoken in the ear in closets shall be proclaimed upon the housetops.
4 Ndikulukamba, beno bakundi bama, lubika mona tsisi bobo balenda vonda nitu bila bawu vonga bobo balendi buela vanga diambu dinkaka ko.
And I say unto you my friends, Be not afraid of them that kill the body, and after that have no more that they can do.
5 Vayi ndieka kulumonisa bobo lufueti mona tsisi: Lutina mutu wowo beki lulendo lu lozila ku bulungi bu kameni vonda. Bukiedikandikulukamba, niandi mutu lufueti mona tsisi. (Geenna g1067)
But I will forewarn you whom ye shall fear: Fear him, which after he hath killed hath authority to cast into hell; yea, I say unto you, Fear him. (Geenna g1067)
6 Basumbisanga ko zitsiodila zitanu mu zimbongo zizole zi bisengo e? Vayi Nzambi kasi zimbakana ko kadi yimosi mu zizioso.
Are not five sparrows sold for two farthings, and not one of them is forgotten before God?
7 Ayi zitsuki zi mintu mieno zidi zitangu. Lubika mona tsisibila lulutidi nkangu wu zitsiodila mu luvalu.
But even the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Fear not therefore: ye are of more value than many sparrows.
8 Bukiedika ndikulukamba ti woso mutu wela kuntelimina kimbangi vameso ma batu, muana mutu mamvandi wela kuntelimina kimbangi va meso ma zimbasi zi Nzambi.
Also I say unto you, Whosoever shall confess me before men, him shall the Son of man also confess before the angels of God:
9 Vayi woso mutu wela kuthunuka va meso ma batu, mamvama ndielakuntunuka va meso ma zimbasi zi Nzambi.
But he that denieth me before men shall be denied before the angels of God.
10 Woso mutu wela yolukila mambimbi mu diambu di Muana mutu wela lemvukulu vayi woso mutu wela finga Mpeve yinlongo kalendi lemvukulu ko.
And whosoever shall speak a word against the Son of man, it shall be forgiven him: but unto him that blasphemeth against the Holy Ghost it shall not be forgiven.
11 Mu thangu bela kulunata va ntuala zinzo zi lukutukunu, va ntualamazuzi ayi va ntuala bapfumu, lubika ba mayindu mu zaba buevi luelakukitabila ayi diambu mbi luela vutula ayi buevi lueta yolukila.
And when they bring you unto the synagogues, and unto magistrates, and authorities, take ye no thought how or what thing ye shall answer, or what ye shall say:
12 Bila Mpeve yinlongo wela kuluvana mambu momo luela tuba mu thangu yina kaka.
For the Holy Ghost shall teach you in the same hour what ye ought to say.
13 Mutu wumosi wuba muna nkangu, wukamba Yesu: —A nlongi, khambila khombꞌama tukabana yandi kiuka.
And one of the company said unto him, Master, speak to my brother, that he divide the inheritance with me.
14 Vayi Yesu wumvutudila: —A Nkundi ama, nani wumbiekidi zuzi dieno voti nkabudi wu kiuka kieno e?
And he said unto him, Man, who made me a judge or a divider over you?
15 Bosi wuba kamba: —Lulubuka luedi ba tsuina yi phila yina bila luzingu lu mutu luisi ko mu tezo ki bima biandi.
And he said unto them, Take heed, and beware of covetousness: for a man’s life consisteth not in the abundance of the things which he possesseth.
16 Buna wuba kamba nongo yayi: —Zitsola zi mutu wumosi wu busina zibutu ngolo.
And he spake a parable unto them, saying, The ground of a certain rich man brought forth plentifully:
17 Buna mutu beni wuyindula mu ntimꞌandi ti: “Mbi mfueti vanga? Bila ndisi ko bibuangu biobi mfueti lundila mbongo ama!
And he thought within himself, saying, What shall I do, because I have no room where to bestow my fruits?
18 Buna wukamba, tala diambu diodi ndieka vanga: Ndieka tiolumuna bilundulu biama ayi ndieka tunga bilutidi tola. Muawu ndiela lundila mbongoꞌama yoso ayi bima biama.
And he said, This will I do: I will pull down my barns, and build greater; and there will I bestow all my fruits and my goods.
19 Buna ndiela kamba muelꞌama: A muelꞌama: bima biwombo bieka yaku mutezo ki mimvu miwombo. Vunda kuaku, dia, nua ayi mona khini.”
And I will say to my soul, Soul, thou hast much goods laid up for many years; take thine ease, eat, drink, and be merry.
20 Vayi Nzambi wunkamba: “vungisi! Builu buabu kuandi maba lomba muelꞌaku! Buna bima bioso biobi wukubikidi biela ba bi nani e?”
But God said unto him, Thou fool, this night thy soul shall be required of thee: then whose shall those things be, which thou hast provided?
21 Buawu bobo buididi mutu wunyidikanga busina mu diambu di niandiveka; vayi kasi sina ko mu mambu ma Nzambi.
So is he that layeth up treasure for himself, and is not rich toward God.
22 Yesu wukamba minlonguki miandi: —Diawu ndikulukambila; lubika bela luzingu mayindu mu diambu di biobi luela dia; lubika bela nitu mayindu mu diambu di biobi luela vuata.
And he said unto his disciples, Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat; neither for the body, what ye shall put on.
23 Luzingu luviatukidi bidia ayi nitu yi vuatukidi minledi.
The life is more than meat, and the body is more than raiment.
24 Lutala zinuni ziozi beti tedilanga “minganga”, zikunanga ko ayi zitotanga bidia ko; zisi ko kadi nzo voti lundulu vayi Nzambi wukuzidikila. Keti beno luvalu luidi viokila zinuni.
Consider the ravens: for they neither sow nor reap; which neither have storehouse nor barn; and God feedeth them: how much more are ye better than the fowls?
25 Nani mu beno, mu diambu di mayindu mandi, lenda buela yika luzingu luandi ntela e?
And which of you with taking thought can add to his stature one cubit?
26 Enati luisi ko kadi lulendo mu mambu mama mafioti, buna bila mbi luididi mayindu mu diambu di momo mankaka e?
If ye then be not able to do that thing which is least, why take ye thought for the rest?
27 Lutala biteka; buevi bieti kudilanga, bisalanga ko, bitungangako vayi ndikulukamba, banza Salomo munkembo andi woso kasia vuata banga kiteka kimosi ko mu biteka biobi.
Consider the lilies how they grow: they toil not, they spin not; and yet I say unto you, that Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these.
28 Enati Nzambi wuvuatisa kunusu kidi buabu ku tsola vayi mbazi ki lozolo ku mbazu. Buna buevi kela luta kuluvuatisila beno batu ba minu kifioti e?
If then God so clothe the grass, which is to day in the field, and to morrow is cast into the oven; how much more will he clothe you, O ye of little faith?
29 Lubika banga mayindu mu diambu di tomba biobi luela dia ayi luela nua e? Lubika kukiyamisa mu mambu momo.
And seek not ye what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink, neither be ye of doubtful mind.
30 Bila Bapakanu ba ntoto bawu bantombanga mambu moso momo. Vayi Dise dieno zebi ti mfunu luvuidi bima biobi.
For all these things do the nations of the world seek after: and your Father knoweth that ye have need of these things.
31 Vayi lutomba kipfumu kiandi buna bima bioso biobi bela kulubuedila biawu.
But rather seek ye the kingdom of God; and all these things shall be added unto you.
32 Bika mona tsisi, ngeyo nkangu wu mameme! Bila Dise dieno dimuenikhini mu kuluvana kipfumu.
Fear not, little flock; for it is your Father’s good pleasure to give you the kingdom.
33 —Sumbisanu bima biobi bidi yenu ayi lukabudila minsukami. Bika lukikubikila ziphotomoni ziozi kazi fuanganga ko ayi lukikubikila kiuka, mu diyilu, kioki kakilendi suka ko, bila kuna muivi kalendi kukiyiba ko ayi zitselele zilendi bunga ko.
Sell that ye have, and give alms; provide yourselves bags which wax not old, a treasure in the heavens that faileth not, where no thief approacheth, neither moth corrupteth.
34 Bila koso kiudi kiuka kiaku kuna kuidi ntimꞌaku.
For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.
35 —Luba bakubama mu kisalu ayi bika minda mienu milema.
Let your loins be girded about, and your lights burning;
36 Banu banga bisadi bimvingila pfumu awu mu yoso thangu bu kayendaku nyengo wu makuela, mu diambu bu kela vutuka ayi kela kokuta, bisadi biandi biela kunzibudila.
And ye yourselves like unto men that wait for their lord, when he will return from the wedding; that when he cometh and knocketh, they may open unto him immediately.
37 Khini kuidi bisadi biobi Pfumu awu bu kela vutuka, wela kuiza bata badi bakubama. Bukiedika ndikulukamba, niandi wela vuata minledi mi kisaluayi wela vuandisa bisadi biandi va meza wela fikama ayi wela kuba tudila bidia.
Blessed are those servants, whom the lord when he cometh shall find watching: verily I say unto you, that he shall gird himself, and make them to sit down to meat, and will come forth and serve them.
38 Kiza va midi mi phipa voti va nkielo wu buisi, wukuiza babati buna badi bakubama, buna khini kuidi bisadi bina.
And if he shall come in the second watch, or come in the third watch, and find them so, blessed are those servants.
39 Vayi luzaba kueno ti enati pfumu yi nzo zebi thangu mbi muivikankuizila, nganu wuleka nkielo ayi kasia tala ko bayiba nzo andi.
And this know, that if the goodman of the house had known what hour the thief would come, he would have watched, and not have suffered his house to be broken through.
40 Beno mamveno, banganu bakubama bila mu thangu yoyi lunkambubela mayindu yawu yinkuizila muana mutu.
Be ye therefore ready also: for the Son of man cometh at an hour when ye think not.
41 Piela wunyuvula: —A Pfumu, tubidi nongo yoyo mu diambu di beto kaka voti mu diambu di batu boso e?
Then Peter said unto him, Lord, speakest thou this parable unto us, or even to all?
42 Pfumu wuvutula: —Buna nani kisadi kikuikama ayi ki diela kioki Pfumu kavana minsua mu yadila bisadi binkaka bi nzo andi mu kuba vananga kuku kiawuki ble mu thangu yifuana e?
And the Lord said, Who then is that faithful and wise steward, whom his lord shall make ruler over his household, to give them their portion of meat in due season?
43 Khini kuidi kisadi kioki, pfumu andi bu kela vutuka, wela buanu wunsala, boso bu kantumina.
Blessed is that servant, whom his lord when he cometh shall find so doing.
44 Bukiedika ndikulukamba pfumu andi wela kumvana minsua mu yadilabima biandi bioso.
Of a truth I say unto you, that he will make him ruler over all that he hath.
45 Vayi enati kisadi beni yindudi mu ntimꞌandi ti: “Pfumu amakakadi vika vutuka” ayi tonini yamisa bisadi bi babakala ayi bi bakieto, tonini dia, nua ayi kolu,
But and if that servant say in his heart, My lord delayeth his coming; and shall begin to beat the menservants and maidens, and to eat and drink, and to be drunken;
46 pfumu yi kisadi kina wela kuiza, mu lumbu kioki kela kambu bela mayindu ayi mu thangu yoyi kakambulu zaba. Buna pfumu andi wela kunloza ayi wela kumvana thumbudulu yi ngolo va kimosi ayi bakambulu bakuikama.
The lord of that servant will come in a day when he looketh not for him, and at an hour when he is not aware, and will cut him in sunder, and will appoint him his portion with the unbelievers.
47 Kisadi kioki kizaba luzolo lu Pfumu andi vayi kasia kubama ko ayi kasia vanga ko boso buididi luzolo lu pfumu andi, wela zububikoti biwombo.
And that servant, which knew his lord’s will, and prepared not himself, neither did according to his will, shall be beaten with many stripes.
48 Vayi kisadi kioki kikambu zaba luzolo lu Pfumu andi ayi vengi mambu makalenda zubulu bikoti, wela zubu bikoti bifioti. Bila bela tomba biwombo kuidi mutu wowo bavana biwombo, ayi kuidimutu wowo bayekudila biwombo bela tombulu biwombo.
But he that knew not, and did commit things worthy of stripes, shall be beaten with few stripes. For unto whomsoever much is given, of him shall be much required: and to whom men have committed much, of him they will ask the more.
49 —Mbazu ndiyizidi loza va ntoto ayi diambu mbi nzodidi enatimbazu beni yikikuikulu?
I am come to send fire on the earth; and what will I, if it be already kindled?
50 Vayi vadi mbotokolo yimfueti botama ayi ndikidi ku tsi mayindu nate yela vangama.
But I have a baptism to be baptized with; and how am I straitened till it be accomplished!
51 —Beno lumbanzila ti minu ndembama ndineti vava ntoto e? Nana vayi khabunu.
Suppose ye that I am come to give peace on earth? I tell you, Nay; but rather division:
52 Bila tona buabi, enati batu batanu badi mu nzo, bela ba bavasana: batatu bela ba ku ndambu yimosi bosi babuadi bela ba ku ndambu yinkaka.
For from henceforth there shall be five in one house divided, three against two, and two against three.
53 Dise diela fuemina muana wubakala ayi muana wubakala welafuemina Dise. Ngudi wela fuemina muana wunketo ayi muana wunketo wela fuemina ngudi. Nzitu wunketo wela fuemina nketo wu muanꞌandi ayinketo wu muana wela fuemina nzitu andi wunketo.
The father shall be divided against the son, and the son against the father; the mother against the daughter, and the daughter against the mother; the mother in law against her daughter in law, and the daughter in law against her mother in law.
54 Bosi Yesu wubuela kamba nkangu wu batu: —Bu lueti monanga dituti ku ndambu wesite, buna lueti tuba: “mvula ma yinoka”, buna bobo bueta bela.
And he said also to the people, When ye see a cloud rise out of the west, straightway ye say, There cometh a shower; and so it is.
55 Bu lueti monanga phemo wu sude weka vevumuka, buna luetituba: “muini mawu ba wu ngolo”; buna bobo bueta bela.
And when ye see the south wind blow, ye say, There will be heat; and it cometh to pass.
56 Bankua mayuya! Luzebi bakula bidimbu bi ntoto ayi bi diyilubuna buevi lunkambu bakudilanga thangu yayi e?
Ye hypocrites, ye can discern the face of the sky and of the earth; but how is it that ye do not discern this time?
57 —Bila mbi lunkambu sudikilanga, mu beno veka, mambu masonga e?
Yea, and why even of yourselves judge ye not what is right?
58 Diawu bu lulembu yendi ku tilibinadu ayi mutu wowo wufundidibuna nuana mu dedikisa mambu beni bu lukidi mu nzila. Bila nganu wela ku funda kuidi zuzi ayi niandi wela kuyekula mu mioko mi masodi ayi mawu mela kukotisa mu nloko.
When thou goest with thine adversary to the magistrate, as thou art in the way, give diligence that thou mayest be delivered from him; lest he hale thee to the judge, and the judge deliver thee to the officer, and the officer cast thee into prison.
59 Muaki bukiedika ndikukamba wulendi totuka muna ko nate wela futazimbongo zioso zi tsuka.
I tell thee, thou shalt not depart thence, till thou hast paid the very last mite.
