Luke 21
1 Bu katala, buna wumona bamvuama batula makaba mawu mu bipani.
And He looked up and saw the rich people bringing their gifts to the treasury:
2 Buna wumona diaka nsukami wu difuola wuyiza tibula bisengo biodi bi zimbongo.
and He saw also a poor widow throwing in two mites.
3 Buna wutuba: —Bukiedika ndikulukamba nsukami wu difuola diadi niandi lutidi vana viokila batu boso bankaka.
And He said, Verily I tell you, this poor widow hath put in more than they all.
4 Bila batu boso baba batambikidi bitsiadisila. Vayi difuola diadi diveni zizioso zibedi yandi mu zingila.
For all these have out of their abundance contributed to the offerings of God: but she out of her penury hath given all she had.
5 Sumbu bankaka bayolukila nzo Nzambi bu batuba ti yawu yitungulu mu matadi ma kitoko ayi mu bima bitambuku banga makaba
And as some were speaking of the temple; how it was adorned with beautiful stones and gifts, He said, As for these things which ye see,
6 buna Yesu wuba kamba: —Mu diambu di bima biobi lulembo tadi, bilumbu biela kuiza, biobi biela ba ti; kadi ditadi dimosi diela siala va mbata ditadidinkaka ko dinkambutiolumuka.
the days will come, in which there shall not be left one stone upon another, that shall not be demolished.
7 Buna bawu banyuvula: —A nlongi, thangu mbi mambu beni mela vangiminina ayi mu bidimbu mbi bela zabila ti mambu momo mafueti vangama e?
And they asked Him, saying, Master, when shall these things be? And what will be the sign when these things shall come to pass?
8 Yesu wuba vutudila: —Lulubuka tala luedi vukumunu bila bawombo bela kuizila mu dizinadiama, bela tuba ti: “Minu kuandi” ayi “thangu yifikimini”. Buna kadi ku balandakana!
And He said, Take heed that ye be not deceived; for many shall come in my name, saying, I am the Christ; and the time is near: but do not therefore go after them.
9 Mu thangu luela wa zimvita ayi zikhindu buna lubika ba mona tsisibila mambu moso momo mafueti tuama ba. Vayi kadi sia ti buna tsukusunuyi ntoto yeka nduka.
And when ye shall hear of wars and commotions, be not terrified: for these must first happen; but the end will not be directly.
10 Buna wubuela diaka: —Luela mona tsi yela nuanisa tsi yinkaka; kipfumu kiela nuanisa kipfumu kinaka.
Then said He unto them, Nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom;
11 Kuela ba zindikunu zinneni zi ntoto mu bibuangu biwombo; kuela ba bikanda ayi minsongo; kuela ba mambu ma tsisi ayi bidimbu bitsisi bi diyilu.
and there will be great earthquakes in several places, and famines, and pestilences, and fearful sights and great prodigies from heaven.
12 —Vayi tuamina mambu moso momo, bela tuama ku lubuila bela kuluyamisa, bela ku lunata mu zinzo zi zikhutukunu; bela ku lukotisa mu nloko. Bela ku lunata va ntuala mintinu ayi minyadi mu diambudi dizina diama.
But before all these things they will lay hands on you, and persecute you, delivering you up to synagogues, and prisons, being brought before kings and rulers for my name's sake:
13 Mambu momo mela lukuizila mu diambu ma luvana diluakudi kuthelimina kimbangi.
but it shall be for a testimony to you.
14 Bika lusudika mu mintima mieno ti: lubika ba mayindu mu diambu mambu luela vutula mu kukikakila.
Fix it therefore in your hearts not to premeditate a defence: for I will give you a mouth and wisdom,
15 Bila minu ndiela luvana munu wutubila ayi diela ayi bambeni beno zilendi baka bu nuanisina ko ayi bu sudikila ko.
which all your adversaries shall not be able to contradict nor withstand.
16 Zimbuta beno, bakhomba zieno, bibutu bieno ayi bakundi beno bela ku luyekula ayi bela vondisa bankaka mu beno.
But ye shall be betrayed even by parents, and brethren, and kindred and friends; and some of you shall they cause to be put to death:
17 Batu boso bela ku lulenda mu diambu di dizina diama.
and ye will be hated by all men for my sake.
18 Vayi kadi lusuki lumosi lu mintu mieno lulendi zimbala ko.
But not an hair of your head shall perish.
19 Lukindama buna luela tambula luvulusu.
In your patience therefore possess your souls.
20 —Bu luela mona masodi mazungididi Yelusalemi buna luzaba ti dieka nduka bungu.
And when ye shall see Jerusalem surrounded with armies, then know that the desolation thereof is nigh: then let them that are in Judea flee to the mountains,
21 Buna bika batu bobo badi mu Yuda batinina ku miongo. Bika bobo badi mu Yelusalemi baba tomba butinina. Bika bobo badi mu zitsola babika buela kota ku divula!
and those that are in the midst of it, depart; and let not them that are in the countries enter into it.
22 Bukiedika bilumbu bina biela ba bilumbu bi vutudila landi muingi mambu moso masonama madedakana.
For these are days of vengeance, that all things which are written may be fulfilled.
23 Vayi mabienga kuidi baketo bobo badi mu buemba ayi kuidi bobo bela yemika mu bilumbu bina. Bila ziphasi zingolo ziela ba mu tsi ayi nganzi yingolo yela fuemunu batu baba.
But wo to them that are with child, and to them that give suck in those days; for there shall be great distress in the land, and wrath upon this people,
24 Batu beni bela vondulu mu mbedi voti bela natu mu kivika mu zitsizioso ayi bapakanu bela diatila Yelusalemi nate thangu yi fuana.
and they shall fall by the edge of the sword, and be led captive into all nations: and Jerusalem shall be trampled down by the Gentiles, till the times of the Gentiles too shall be fulfilled.
25 —Bidimbu bi tsisi biela monika mu thangu, mu ngonda ayi mu zimbuetete. Va ntoto, batu bela mona tsisi yingolo mu diambu di biyoko bi mbuayi bi mayo mandi.
And there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars; and on the earth distress of nations in perplexity, the sea and the waves roring:
26 Batu bela fuila mu tsisi mudiambu di boma bu mambu mela bua va ntotowumvimba bila lulendo lu diyilu luela nikunu.
and men ready to die for fear and apprehension of the things that are coming upon the land; for the powers of heaven shall be shaken.
27 Buna bela mona Muana Mutu wela kuizila mu matuti mu lulendo ayi mu nkembo wunneni.
And then shall they see the Son of man coming, as on a cloud, with power and great glory.
28 Mambu mama bu mela tona buna luvumbuka ayi luba vumbula mintu mienobila buna khudulu eno yifikimini.
But when these things begin to come to pass, look upwards and lift up your heads, for your redemption draweth nigh.
29 Wubuela tuba diaka nongo yayi: —Lutala nti wu figi ayi minti mioso.
And He spake a parable to them, Behold the fig-tree,
30 Muthangu mieti tona mena buna beno veka, mu ku mitala, luzebi ti thangu yi luanga yifikimini.
and all the trees, when they shoot out, ye see and know of yourselves that summer is now near:
31 Bobuawu, beno mamveno buna luela mona ti mambu momo mavangiminibuna luzaba ti kipfumu ki Nzambi kifikimini.
so likewise know ye, when ye see these things coming to pass, that the kingdom of God is at hand.
32 Bukiedika ndikulukamba ti tsungi yayi yilendi vioka ko tuaminamambu moso mama mavangama.
Verily I tell you, this generation shall not pass away till all be accomplished.
33 Diyilu ayi ntoto biela vioka vayi mambu mama malendi vioka ko.
Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away.
34 Lukikeba beno veka mu diambu di mintima mieno mibika ba zitumu diambudi phulu yi dia ayi yi kolo malavu; ayi mu diambu di mayinduma luzingu lualu muingi lumbu kina kibika lukuizila mu kinzimbukila.
Take heed to yourselves, least at any time your hearts be overcharged with surfeiting and drunkenness, and the cares of life, and so that day should come upon you unawares:
35 Bila kiela kuizila banga dikondi dibuididi batu boso bamvuandanga va ntoto.
for as a snare shall it come upon all that dwell on the face of the whole earth.
36 Luzibula meso ayi lusambila mu zithangu zioso mu diambu luba monikabatubafuana mu tina mambu moso mama mafueti kuiza ayi mu diambu lubakabu telumina va ntuala Muana Mutu.
Watch therefore and be constant in prayer, that ye may be counted worthy to escape all these things, which shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man.
37 Mu muini Yesu wuba longanga mu nzo Nzambi. Wuba totukanga kadika builu ayi wuba vuandanga ku mongo wu minti mi olive.
Thus He was by day teaching in the temple; and at night He retired to the mount called the mount of Olives.
38 Muna nsuka-nsuka batu boso baba kuizanga ku nzo Nzambi mu diambu banwa.
And all the people came early in the morning to Him in the temple to hear Him.
