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.
Meanwhile, when a crowd of many thousands had gathered together, so much so that they trampled on each other, he began to tell his disciples first of all, "Beware of the yeast of the Pharisees, which is hypocrisy.
2 Bila kuisi ko diambu disuama diela kambu zabukusu voti kuisi ko matsueki mela kambu zabakana.
But there is nothing covered up, that will not be revealed, nor hidden, that will 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 whatever you have said in the darkness will be heard in the light. What you have spoken in the ear in the inner chambers will be proclaimed on the housetops.
4 Ndikulukamba, beno bakundi bama, lubika mona tsisi bobo balenda vonda nitu bila bawu vonga bobo balendi buela vanga diambu dinkaka ko.
"I tell you, my friends, do not be afraid of those who 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 warn you whom you should fear. Fear him, who after he has killed, has power to cast into hell. Yes, I tell 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 assaria coins? Not one of them is forgotten by God.
7 Ayi zitsuki zi mintu mieno zidi zitangu. Lubika mona tsisibila lulutidi nkangu wu zitsiodila mu luvalu.
But the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Therefore do not be afraid. You 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.
"I tell you, everyone who confesses me before people, him will 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 the one who denies me in the presence of people will be denied in the presence of 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.
Everyone who speaks a word against the Son of Man will be forgiven, but those who blaspheme against the Holy Spirit will 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.
When they bring you before the synagogues, the rulers, and the authorities, do not be anxious how or what you will answer, or what you will say;
12 Bila Mpeve yinlongo wela kuluvana mambu momo luela tuba mu thangu yina kaka.
for the Holy Spirit will teach you in that same hour what you must say."
13 Mutu wumosi wuba muna nkangu, wukamba Yesu: —A nlongi, khambila khombꞌama tukabana yandi kiuka.
And someone in the crowd said to him, "Teacher, tell my brother to divide the inheritance with me."
14 Vayi Yesu wumvutudila: —A Nkundi ama, nani wumbiekidi zuzi dieno voti nkabudi wu kiuka kieno e?
But he said to him, "Man, who made me a judge or an arbitrator over you?"
15 Bosi wuba kamba: —Lulubuka luedi ba tsuina yi phila yina bila luzingu lu mutu luisi ko mu tezo ki bima biandi.
He said to them, "Beware. Keep yourselves from all covetousness, for a man's life does not consist of the abundance of the things which he possesses."
16 Buna wuba kamba nongo yayi: —Zitsola zi mutu wumosi wu busina zibutu ngolo.
He spoke a parable to them, saying, "The ground of a certain rich man brought forth abundantly.
17 Buna mutu beni wuyindula mu ntimꞌandi ti: “Mbi mfueti vanga? Bila ndisi ko bibuangu biobi mfueti lundila mbongo ama!
He reasoned within himself, saying, 'What will I do, because I do not have room to store my crops?'
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.
He said, 'This is what I will do. I will pull down my barns, and build bigger ones, and there I will store all my grain 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.”
I will tell my soul, "Soul, you have many goods laid up for many years. Take your ease, eat, drink, 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 to him, 'You foolish one, tonight your soul is required of you. The things which you have prepared—whose will they be?'
21 Buawu bobo buididi mutu wunyidikanga busina mu diambu di niandiveka; vayi kasi sina ko mu mambu ma Nzambi.
So is he who lays 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.
He said to his disciples, "Therefore I tell you, do not be anxious for your life, what you will eat, nor yet for your body, what you will wear.
23 Luzingu luviatukidi bidia ayi nitu yi vuatukidi minledi.
Life is more than food, and the body is more than clothing.
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: they do not sow, they do not reap, they have no warehouse or barn, and God feeds them. How much more valuable are you than birds.
25 Nani mu beno, mu diambu di mayindu mandi, lenda buela yika luzingu luandi ntela e?
Which of you by being anxious can add a cubit to his height?
26 Enati luisi ko kadi lulendo mu mambu mama mafioti, buna bila mbi luididi mayindu mu diambu di momo mankaka e?
If then you are not able to do even the least things, why are you anxious about 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 do not toil, neither do they spin; yet I tell you, even 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?
But if this is how God clothes the grass in the field, which today exists, and tomorrow is cast into the oven, how much more will he clothe you, O you of little faith?
29 Lubika banga mayindu mu diambu di tomba biobi luela dia ayi luela nua e? Lubika kukiyamisa mu mambu momo.
Do not seek what you will eat or what you will drink; neither be anxious.
30 Bila Bapakanu ba ntoto bawu bantombanga mambu moso momo. Vayi Dise dieno zebi ti mfunu luvuidi bima biobi.
For the nations of the world seek after all of these things, but your Father knows that you need these things.
31 Vayi lutomba kipfumu kiandi buna bima bioso biobi bela kulubuedila biawu.
But seek his Kingdom, and these things will be added to you.
32 Bika mona tsisi, ngeyo nkangu wu mameme! Bila Dise dieno dimuenikhini mu kuluvana kipfumu.
Do not be afraid, 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 which you have, and give gifts to the needy. Make for yourselves purses which do not grow old, a treasure in the heavens that does not fail, where no thief approaches, neither moth destroys.
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 waist be girded and your lamps 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.
Be like people watching for their lord, when he returns from the marriage feast; that, when he comes and knocks, they may immediately open to him.
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 will find watching when he comes. Truly I tell you, that he will dress himself, and make them recline, and will come 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 comes in the second watch, or even in the third, and finds them so, blessed are they.
39 Vayi luzaba kueno ti enati pfumu yi nzo zebi thangu mbi muivikankuizila, nganu wuleka nkielo ayi kasia tala ko bayiba nzo andi.
But know this, that if the master of the house had known in what hour the thief was coming, he would have watched and not have allowed his house to be broken into.
40 Beno mamveno, banganu bakubama bila mu thangu yoyi lunkambubela mayindu yawu yinkuizila muana mutu.
Therefore be ready also, for the Son of Man is coming in an hour that you do not expect him."
41 Piela wunyuvula: —A Pfumu, tubidi nongo yoyo mu diambu di beto kaka voti mu diambu di batu boso e?
And Peter said, "Lord, are you telling this parable to us, or to everyone?"
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?
The Lord said, "Who then is the faithful and wise steward, whom his lord will set over his household, to give them their portion of food at the right time?
43 Khini kuidi kisadi kioki, pfumu andi bu kela vutuka, wela buanu wunsala, boso bu kantumina.
Blessed is that servant whom his lord will find doing so when he comes.
44 Bukiedika ndikulukamba pfumu andi wela kumvana minsua mu yadilabima biandi bioso.
Truly I tell you, that he will set him over all that he has.
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 if that servant says in his heart, 'My lord delays his coming,' and begins to beat the menservants and the maidservants, and to eat and drink, and to be drunk,
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.
then the lord of that servant will come in a day when he is not expecting him, and in an hour that he does not know, and will cut him in two, and place his portion with the unfaithful.
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.
That servant, who knew his lord's will, and did not prepare, nor do what he wanted, will 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 who did not know, and did things worthy of stripes, will be beaten with few stripes. To whomever much is given, of him will much be required; and to whom much was entrusted, of him more will be asked.
49 —Mbazu ndiyizidi loza va ntoto ayi diambu mbi nzodidi enatimbazu beni yikikuikulu?
"I came to throw fire on the earth. I wish it were 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 distressed I am until it is accomplished.
51 —Beno lumbanzila ti minu ndembama ndineti vava ntoto e? Nana vayi khabunu.
Do you think that I have come to give peace in the earth? I tell you, no, 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 now on, there will 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.
They will be divided, father against son, and son against father; mother against daughter, and daughter against her mother; mother-in-law against her daughter-in-law, and 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.
He said to the crowds also, "When you see a cloud rising from the west, immediately you say, 'A shower is coming,' and so it happens.
55 Bu lueti monanga phemo wu sude weka vevumuka, buna luetituba: “muini mawu ba wu ngolo”; buna bobo bueta bela.
When a south wind blows, you say, 'There will be a scorching heat,' and it happens.
56 Bankua mayuya! Luzebi bakula bidimbu bi ntoto ayi bi diyilubuna buevi lunkambu bakudilanga thangu yayi e?
Hypocrites. You know how to interpret the appearance of the earth and the sky, but why do you not know how to interpret this time?
57 —Bila mbi lunkambu sudikilanga, mu beno veka, mambu masonga e?
Why do you not judge for yourselves 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.
For when you are going with your adversary before the magistrate, try diligently on the way to be released from him, lest perhaps he drag you to the judge, and the judge deliver you to the officer, and the officer throw you into prison.
59 Muaki bukiedika ndikukamba wulendi totuka muna ko nate wela futazimbongo zioso zi tsuka.
I tell you, you will by no means get out of there, until you have paid the very last penny."
