Luke 7
1 Bu kamana kamba batu mambu maba yandi, Yesu wuyenda ku Kafalinawumi.
Now when He had finished his discourse in the audience of the people, He entered into Capernaum: and a certain centurion's servant,
2 Pfumu yimosi yi masodi wuba ayi mvikꞌandi wuba mu kimbevo, wuba nduka mu fua. Pfumu beni wuba zolanga ngolo mvika beni.
whom he had a great value for, was ill and ready to die;
3 Bu kawa tsangu yi Yesu, buna pfumu beni yi masodi wumfidisila bakulutu ba Bayuda muingi banleba kiza belusa mvikꞌandi.
and having heard of Jesus, he sent unto Him the elders of the Jews, beseeching him that He would come and heal his servant.
4 Bu batula vaba Yesu mbadi banleba: —Niandi fueni wumvangila buawu.
And when they came to Jesus, they intreated Him earnestly, saying, he is worthy of this favor:
5 Bila wunzolanga tsi etu ayi niandi veka wututungila nzo yi lukutukunu.
for he loveth our nation, and hath built us a synagogue.
6 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.
So Jesus went with them. And when He was now not far from the house, the centurion sent some of his friends to Him, saying Lord, trouble not thyself, for I am not worthy that thou shouldst enter under my roof:
7 Diawu ndisi kuiza kudenginina ko minu veka vayi tuba kaka diambu dimosi buna kisadi kiama ma kibeluka.
neither did I think myself worthy to come unto thee. But speak the word, and my servant will be recovered.
8 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.
For I also am a man placed under the authority of others, and have soldiers under me; and I say to one, Go, and he goeth; and to another, Come, and he cometh; and to my servant, Do this, and he doth it.
9 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.
And when Jesus heard these things, He marvelled, and turning about, said to the multitude that followed Him, I declare unto you, I have not found so great faith, no not in Israel.
10 Bamvuala mi pfumu masodi zivutuka kuawu kuna nzo, kuna yiyenda bata mvika beni mu buvini.
And when they that were sent, returned to the house, they found the servant well, that had been sick.
11 Mu lumbu kilanda, Yesu wuyenda ku divula dimosi diba bantedilanga Nayini. Minlonguki miandi minlandakana va kimosi ayi nkangu wuwombo.
And the day after He went to a city called Nain; and many of his disciples went with Him, and a great multitude besides:
12 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.
and as He came near to the gate of the city, behold, there was a dead man carrying out to be buried, his mother's only son, and she was a widow: and many of the people of the city were with her.
13 Pfumu bu kamona difuola beni buna wummona kiadi ayi wunkamba: —Bika dila.
And when the Lord saw her, He was moved with compassion for her, and said to her, Do not weep.
14 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!
And He came up and touched the bier, (and the bearers stopped, ) and He said, Young man, I say unto thee, arise.
15 Zimbukila mutu wuba wufua wuvumbuka, wuvuanda ayi wutona yoluka. Yesu wumvana kuidi ngudi andi.
And the dead person sat up, and began to speak: and He delivered him to his mother.
16 Babo bamona tsisi, bakembisa Nzambi ayi batuba: —Mbikudi wunneni wututotukidi ayi Nzambi wizidi mu sadisa batu bandi.
And an awe seized them all, and they glorified God, saying, a great prophet is risen up among us, and God hath visited his people.
17 Tsangu yi nsamu wawu yitembakana mu Yuda dioso ayi mu bizunga bizungidila.
And this report of Him was spread through all Judea, and in all the country round about.
18 Minlonguki mi Yowani mimana kamba Yowani mambu moso momo mavioka. Buna wutumisa minlonguki miandi miodi
And the disciples of John told him of all these things: so John called two of his disciples to him,
19 ayi wuba fidisa kuidi Pfumu mu diambu banyuvula: —Bukiedika kuandi ti ngeyo mutu wowo wufueti kuiza voti tufueti vingila wunkaka e?
and sent them to Jesus, saying, Art thou He that was to come, or are we to expect another?
20 Batu beni bayenda kuidi Yesu ayi bankamba: —Yowani Mbotidi wututumini. Katu kembi tuyuvula: “ngeyo mutu wowo wufueti kuiza voti tufueti vingila wunkaka e?”
And the men came to Him, and said, John the baptist hath sent us unto thee, saying, Art thou He that was to come, or are we to expect another?
21 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.
(Now at that very time He cured many of their diseases and plagues, and of evil spirits, and gave sight to many that were blind.)
22 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.
And Jesus answering said unto them, Go and tell John what ye have seen and heard: that the blind recover sight, the lame walk, lepers are cleansed, the deaf hear, the dead are raised, the poor have the gospel preached to them,
23 Khini kuidi mutu wela manga zimbisa minu kiandi mu diambu diama.
and happy is he who shall not be offended at any thing in me.
24 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?
When the messengers of John were departed, He began to speak unto the people concerning John, what went ye out into the wilderness to see?
25 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.
a reed shaken by the wind? but what did ye go out to see? a man clothed in soft raiment? behold, they that are dressed in fine clothes and live delicately, are in palaces, not in deserts: but what went ye out to see?
26 Vayi buna mbi luyenda tala e? Mbikudi luyenda tala e? Nyinga buawu kuandi vayi ndikulukamba ti niandi viokidi mbikudi.
a prophet? yea, I say unto you, and much more than a prophet.
27 Bila niandi wuyolukulu mu minkanda ti: Tala mfidisidi mvualꞌala ku ntualꞌaku, niandi wela kubika nzilꞌaku ku ntualꞌaku.
This is he of whom it is written, "Behold I send my messenger before thy face, who shall prepare thy way before thee:"
28 Bukiedika ndikulukamba: mu batu boso bobo babutu kuidi baketo, kuidiko mutu wowo viokidi Yowani. Vayi wulutidi kefa mu kipfumu ki Diyilu wunlutidi.
for I tell you that among the sons of men there is not a greater prophet than John the baptist: (though the least in the kingdom of God is greater than he: )
29 —Batu boso bawa mambu momo ayi mimfutisi mi ziphaku, bazababusonga bu Nzambi bu babotoko kuidi Yowani.
---and all the people that heard him, even the publicans, justified God, being baptized with the baptism of John;
30 Vayi Bafalisi ayi minlongi mi mina, bobo bamanga botoko kuidi niandi, va meso mawu baloza luzolo lu Nzambi.
but the pharisees indeed and the lawyers rejected the counsel of God within themselves, and were not baptized by him.---
31 Banga banani ndenda dedikisa tsungi yayi e? Yidedikini banga babani e?
Whereunto therefore shall I compare the men of this generation?
32 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.
and to what are they like? they are like children sitting in the market-place, and calling to one another, and saying, "We have played pleasant tunes to you, and ye have not danced; we have sung mournful ones and ye have not wept:"
33 Bila Yowani wuyiza, kasia dia mampa ko ayi kasia nua vinu ko. Vayi lukamba: “Pheve yibmimbi yidi yandi.”
for John the baptist came neither eating bread, nor drinking wine, and ye say, he hath a demon:
34 Muana mutu wuyiza; wundia, wunua ayi luntuba: “Niandi nzuna kadi ayi kolu mbungu; nkundi mimfutisi mi ziphaku ayi bankua masumu.”
the Son of man is come eating and drinking like other men, and ye call Him a gluttonous man and a wine bibber, and a friend of publicans and sinners.
35 Vayi nduenga yimmonikanga yisonga mu nzila yi bana bandi.
But wisdom is justified by all her children.
36 Mfalisi wumosi wuleba Yesu mu dia yandi va meza. Yesu wuyenda ku nzoꞌandi ayi wuvuanda va meza.
And one of the pharisees asked Him to eat with him: and He went into the pharisee's house, and sat down.
37 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.
And behold a woman in the city, that was a sinner, when she knew that He was at table in the pharisee's house,
38 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.
brought an alabaster-box of ointment, and stood at his feet behind Him, weeping, and washed his feet with tears, and wiped them with the hairs of her head, and kissed his feet, and anointed them with the ointment.
39 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.
But when the pharisee that invited Him saw it, he said within himself, This man, if he were a prophet, would have known who and what sort of a woman this is that toucheth Him; for she is a notorious sinner.
40 Yesu wunkamba mu mbembo yingolo: —A Simoni, diambu didi yama di kukamba. Buna Mfalisi wumvutudila ti: —A nlongi, tuba kuaku!
And Jesus said unto him, Simon, I have something to say to thee: (and he replied, Master, say on.)
41 Buna Yesu wunkamba ti: —Vaba mutu wumosi wudevisa zimbongo kuidi batu buadi. Wutheti wudeva zikhama zitanu zi denali bosi wummuandi wudeva makumatanu.
A certain creditor had two debtors, the one owed him five hundred denaries, and the other fifty:
42 Sumbu bawu buadi basia ba ko zimbongo zikumvutudila, buna wubalemvukila. Mu mpila yaku, mu bawu buadi; nani wela luta kunzola e?
and they not being able to pay him, he freely forgave them both: tell me therefore, which of them will love him most?
43 Simoni wuvutula: —Minu mbueni Mutu wowo wuba pholo yinneni. Buna Yesu wunkamba: —Bukiedika kuaku tubidi.
And Simon answered, I suppose he to whom he forgave most. And Jesus said unto him, Thou hast rightly judged:
44 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.
and turning to the woman, He said to Simon, Dost thou see this woman? I came into thine house, and thou gavest me no water for my feet; but she has bathed my feet with her tears, and wiped them with the hairs of her head.
45 Wusia ku mfifanga besi ko vayi tona buna khotidingi, niandi kakadi vonga mu lembu kafifanga malu mama bibesi.
Thou gavest me not the respect of a kiss; but this woman, ever since she came in, hath not ceased to kiss my feet.
46 Wusia dukulanga ko mafuta ku ntu ama vayi niandi dukudingimalasi mu malu mama.
Thou didst not anoint my head with common oil, but she hath anointed even my feet with sweet ointment.
47 Diawu ndikukambila ti masumu mawombo momo mabedi yandi malemvokolobila wumonisina luzolo luwombo. Vayi mutu wowo beta lemvukila fioti, niandi mamvandi fioti kaka keti zodila.
Wherefore, I tell thee, her sins though many are forgiven, for she loved much: but he to whom little is forgiven, loveth but little.
48 Bosi wukamba nketo: —Masumu maku malemvukulu.
And He said unto her, Thy sins are forgiven.
49 Batu bobo baba yandi va meza bakambasana bawu na bawu ti: “Buna nani mutu wawu wulemvukila masumu?”
And they that sat at table with Him, said within themselves, Who is this that forgiveth sins also?
50 Vayi Yesu wukamba nketo: —Minu kiaku kivukisidi; yenda mu ndembama!
But He said to the woman, Thy faith hath saved thee, go in peace.
