Matthew 13
1 Mu lumbu beni, Yesu wutotuka mu nzo ayi wuyenda vuanda mu muenda mbu.
The same day Jesus went out of the house, and sat by the sea side.
2 Nkangu wuwombo wu batu bayiza va kaba. Diawu kakumina mu nlungu ayi wuvuanda muawu. Nkangu woso wu batu wuba va disimu.
And great multitudes were gathered together to him, so that he went into a boat, and sat down; and the whole multitude stood on the shore.
3 Wuba longa mambu mawombo mu zinongo. Buna wuba kamba: —Nkuni wumosi wuyenda ku muanga mbongo.
And he spoke many things to them in parables, saying, Behold, a sower went forth to sow;
4 Bu kaba muanga mbongo; ndambu yibua mu ndambu nzila, zinuni ziyiza mana kuyidoda.
And when he sowed, some seeds fell by the way side, and the fowls came and devoured them:
5 Ndambu yinkaka yibua va matadi; vuma beni vasia ba ntoto wuwombo ko; zitheti zivika mena bila ntoto wusia ba phiba ko.
Some fell upon stony places, where they had not much earth: and immediately they sprung up, because they had no deepness of earth:
6 Vayi muini wungolo bu wutotuka, mintuidila beni miyokana ayi miyuma bila mianzi miawu misia kota ko mboti mu tsi ntoto.
And when the sun had risen, they were scorched; and because they had no root, they withered away.
7 Zitheti zinkaka zibua va zitsendi. Zitsendi beni zimena ayi zifietikisa mintuidila beni.
And some fell among thorns; and the thorns sprung up, and choked them:
8 Vayi zinkaka zibua mu ntoto wumboti ayi zibuta mimbutu miwombo: lumosi khama yimosi; lunkaka makumasambunu ayi lukaka makumatatu.
But others fell into good ground, and brought forth fruit, some an hundredfold, some sixtyfold, some thirtyfold.
9 Woso widi matu ma wila buna bika kawa.
Who hath ears to hear, let him hear.
10 Minlonguki mifikama ayi minyuvula: —Bila mbi wulembo sadila zinongo mu kuba yolukila e?
And the disciples came, and said to him, Why speakest thou to them in parables?
11 Buna niandi wuba vutudila: —Beno lutambula diluaku di zabila mansueki ma Kipfumu ki Diyilu, vayi bawu basia kuma tambula ko.
He answered and said to them, Because it is given to you to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it is not given.
12 Bila mutu wowo widi bima, bela kumvana ayi wela baka biwombo biviatukidi tezo. Vayi mutu wowo kambulu bima, wela ziono fiofi fidi yandi.
For whoever hath, to him shall be given, and he shall have more abundance: but whoever hath not, from him shall be taken away even that which he hath.
13 Diawu ndikubakambilanga mu zinongo bila balembo tadi vayi bakadi mona, ka diambu ko batembi makutu vayi bakadi wa ayi bakadi sudika.
Therefore I speak to them in parables: because they seeing see not; and hearing they hear not, neither do they understand.
14 Mavangimini bobo mu diambu di dedikisa mambu mbikudi Ezayi kabikula mu diambu diawu: Wa, luela wa kueno vayi lulendi sudika ko. Tala, luela tala kueno vayi lulendi mona ko.
And in them is fulfilled the prophecy of Isaiah, which saith, By hearing ye shall hear, and shall not understand; and seeing ye shall see, and shall not perceive:
15 Bila mintima mi batu baba miyikidi ngolo banga matadi. Bamengi kuawu wa. Bazibikidi meso mawu; bila nganu meso mawu malenda mona, makutu mawu malenda wa, mintima miawu milenda sudika, bila nganu balenda balula mavanga ayi nganu ndenda kuba belusa!
For this people’s heart has become dull, and their ears are hard of hearing, and their eyes they have closed; lest at any time they should see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and should understand with their heart, and should be converted, and I should heal them.
16 Vayi khini kuidi beno bila meso meno malembo moni ayi makutu meno malembo wi.
But blessed are your eyes, for they see: and your ears, for they hear.
17 Bukiedika ndikulukamba ti mimbikudi miwombo ayi batu bawombo basonga baba tsatu mu mona mambu momo lulembo moni vayi basia mamona ko; ayi baba tsatu mu wa mambu ma lulembo wi vayi basia mawa ko.
For verily I say to you, That many prophets and righteous men have desired to see the things which ye see, and have not seen them; and to hear the things which ye hear, and have not heard them.
18 —Luwa tsundu yi nongo yoyi ndilukembi, nongo yi nkuni:
Hear ye therefore the parable of the sower.
19 Yoso-yoso thangu mutu kawilu mambu ma kipfumu ayi kakadi kuma sukida, buna pheve yimbimbi yikuiza vuzanga mambu momo makunu mu ntimꞌandi. Yawu yoyi mbongo yibua va ndambu nzila.
When any one heareth the word of the kingdom, and understandeth it not, then cometh the wicked one, and catcheth away that which was sown in his heart. This is he who received seed by the way side.
20 Mbongo yoyi yibua va matadi yawu mutu wuwa mambu ma Nzambi ayi wutumbu vika ku matambula mu khini.
But he that received the seed into stony places, the same is he that heareth the word, and immediately with joy receiveth it;
21 Sumbu yisia ba mianzi ko buna yisia zingila ko. Ziphasi voti yamusu bu bizidi mu diambu di mambu ma kipfumu, buna wuvika buanga nsualu.
Yet he hath not root in himself, but endureth for a while: for when tribulation or persecution ariseth because of the word, immediately he is offended.
22 Mbongo yoyi yibua va zitsendi yawu mutu wuwa mambu ma Nzambi vayi mayindu mu diambu di luzingu lualu ayi mu diambu di kimvuama ki luvunu mamfietikisanga mambu ma Nzambi ayi malendi vana diluaku ko muingi mbongo beni yibuta. (aiōn g165)
He also that received seed among the thorns is he that heareth the word; and the care of this world, and the deceitfulness of riches, choke the word, and he becometh unfruitful. (aiōn g165)
23 Vayi mbongo yoyi yibua va ntoto wumboti yawu mutu wuwa mambu ma Nzambi ayi wusudika mawu; wumbutanga mimbutu khama yimosi, makumasambanu, makumatatu.
But he that received seed into the good ground is he that heareth the word, and understandeth it; who also beareth fruit, and bringeth forth, some an hundredfold, some sixty, some thirty.
24 Yesu wuba kamba nongo yinkaka: —Kipfumu ki Diyilu kidedakani banga mutu wowo wukuna mabongo yimboti mu tsolꞌandi.
Another parable he put forth to them, saying, The kingdom of heaven is likened to a man who sowed good seed in his field:
25 Vayi batu bu baba baleka mbeniꞌandi wuyiza kuna kiti ki mbimbi va khatitsika ble bosi wuyenda kuandi.
But while men slept, his enemy came and sowed tares among the wheat, and went his way.
26 Ble bu kimena ayi kitotula zitsangu buna kiti ki mbimbi diaka kimena.
But when the blade had sprung up, and brought forth fruit, then appeared the tares also.
27 Buna bisadi bi pfumu yi tsola biyiza ku nyuvula: —Pfumu, keti mbongo yimboti wukunini mu tsolꞌaku e? Buna kuevi kubedi kiti kiaki kimbimbi e?
So the servants of the householder came and said to him, Sir, didst thou not sow good seed in thy field? how then hath it tares?
28 Niandi wuba vutudila: —Mbeni niandi wuvengi buawu. Buna bisadi binyuvula: —Tidi tuenda vuzi kiti kioki kimbimbi e?
He said to them, An enemy hath done this. The servants said to him, Wilt thou then that we go and gather them up?
29 Pfumu wuvutula: —Nana! Bila beno vuza kiti kioki buna lulenda vuza ayi ble.
But he said, Nay; lest while ye gather up the tares, ye root up also the wheat with them.
30 Bikanu biabi biodi biyedila va kimosi nate mu thangu yela velo mimbutu. Buna mu thangu yina, ndiela kamba batu ba kisalu: “vuzanu theti kiti kioki kimbimbi bosi lukanga kiawu mu minko mu diambu luyoka kiawu. Bosi luela vela ble ayi luela ku yitula ku yilu banga kiama.”
Let both grow together until the harvest: and in the time of harvest I will say to the reapers, Gather ye together first the tares, and bind them in bundles to burn them: but gather the wheat into my barn.
31 Yesu wuba kamba nongo yinkaka: —Kipfumu ki Diyilu kidedakani banga luteti lu mutalide. Mutu wumosi wubonga luawu ayi wukuna luawu mu tsolꞌandi.
Another parable he put forth to them, saying, The kingdom of heaven is like a grain of mustard seed, which a man took, and sowed in his field:
32 Luteti beni luviokidi zitheti zioso mu keva vayi enati lumenini buna lumviokanga bikunusu bioso mu kula ayi lunkitukanga nti. Muawu zinuni zieti kuiza ayi vanga zindiala ziawu mu matafi mandi.
Which indeed is the least of all seeds: but when it is grown, it is the greatest among herbs, and becometh a tree, so that the birds of the air come and lodge on its branches.
33 Wuba kamba nongo yinkaka: —Kipfumu ki Diyilu kidedakani banga luvi lolo nketo kabongidi ayi sobikisidi luawu mu bitezo bitatu bi falina nate yimvimbisa falina yoso.
Another parable he spoke to them; The kingdom of heaven is like leaven, which a woman took, and hid in three measures of meal, till the whole was leavened.
34 Yesu mu zinongo katubila mambu moso momo kuidi nkangu wu batu ayi kadi khumbu yimosi kela tuba mambu mu kambu sadila nongo.
All these things Jesus spoke to the multitude in parables; and without a parable he spoke not to them:
35 Buawu bobo bu dedikinina mambu matuba mbikudi: Ndiela kuba yolukila mu zinongo, Ndiela kuba zabakisa mansueki momo masuama tona nza yivangulu.
That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet, saying, I will open my mouth in parables; I will utter things which have been kept secret from the foundation of the world.
36 Yesu bu kasindika nkangu, bosi wukota mu nzo. Minlonguki miandi mifikama va kaba ayi minyuvula: —Wutusudikisa nongo yi kiti ki mbimbi kiba mu tsola.
Then Jesus sent the multitude away, and went into the house: and his disciples came to him, saying, Make known to us the meaning of the parable of the tares of the field.
37 Yesu wuvutula: —Muana Mutu niandi mutu kunini mbongo yi mboti.
He answered and said to them, He that soweth the good seed is the Son of man;
38 Tsola yidi nza, mbongo yi mboti yidi bana ba Kipfumu; kiti ki mbimbi kidi bana ba satana.
The field is the world; the good seed are the children of the kingdom; but the tares are the children of the wicked one;
39 Satana, niandi mbeni yoyi yikuna kiti ki mbimbi. Thangu yi vela mimbutu yawu tsukulu yi nza, zimbasi ziawu bisadi bi tsola. (aiōn g165)
The enemy that sowed them is the devil; the harvest is the end of the world; and the reapers are the angels. (aiōn g165)
40 Boso bumvuzulungu kiti ki mbimbi ayi kimvikulungu ku mbazu; buawu bobo buela bela mu tsukulu yi nza. (aiōn g165)
As therefore the tares are gathered and burned in the fire; so shall it be in the end of this world. (aiōn g165)
41 Muana Mutu wela fidisa zimbasi ziandi ayi ziela botula, mu kipfumu kiandi, bima bioso biobi bintotulanga masumu ayi bobo beti vanganga mambimbi.
The Son of man shall send forth his angels, and they shall gather out of his kingdom all things that offend, and them who do iniquity;
42 Zimbasi ziela loza batu beni ku mfulu yi mbazu. Kuna kuidi bidilu ayi nkuetosolo wu meno.
And shall cast them into a furnace of fire: there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth.
43 Buna batu basonga, bela lezama banga thangu mu Kipfumu ki Dise diawu. Woso widi matu ma wilu buna bika kawa!
Then shall the righteous shine forth as the sun in the kingdom of their Father. Who hath ears to hear, let him hear.
44 —Kipfumu ki Diyilu kidedakani banga kima kithalu, kisueko mu tsola. Mutu niandi kuenda kibakula, maka sueka diaka kiawu. Bosi mu khini yina, buna wela kuenda sumbisa bima biandi bioso ayi sumba tsola beni yina.
Again, the kingdom of heaven is like treasure hid in a field; which when a man hath found, he hideth, and from joy over it goeth and selleth all that he hath, and buyeth that field.
45 Kipfumu ki Diyilu kidedakani diaka banga mukhita wowo wuntombanga bilunga bi kitoko.
Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a merchant man, seeking fine pearls:
46 Enati bakudi lunga kimosi kithalu yiwombo, buna wela kuenda sumbisa bima biandi bioso ayi sumba lunga beni.
Who, when he had found one pearl of great price, went and sold all that he had, and bought it.
47 Kipfumu ki diyilu kidedakani diaka banga dikondi diodi balozidi mu mbu ayi dibuididi zimbisi ziphila mu phila.
Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a net, that was cast into the sea, and gathered of every kind:
48 Diawu wala, banlobi mbizi ba dituta ku disimu. Bosi bavuanda ayi batula mboti mu bipani ayi miloza ziozi zimbimbi.
Which, when it was full, they drew to the shore, and sat down, and gathered the good into vessels, but cast away the bad.
49 Buawu bobo buela bela mu tsukulu yi ntoto: Zimbasi ziela kuiza mu vambisa batu bambimbi va khatitsika batu basonga. (aiōn g165)
So shall it be at the end of the world: the angels shall come forth, and separate the wicked from among the righteous, (aiōn g165)
50 Buna ziela loza batu bambimbi ku mfulu yi mbazu kuna kuidi bidilu ayi nkuetosolo yi meno.
And shall cast them into the furnace of fire: there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth.
51 —Lusudikidi mambu moso mama e? Bavutula: —Nyinga.
Jesus saith to them, Have ye understood all these things? They say to him, Yea, Lord.
52 Buna mu manisa Yesu wuba kamba: —Diawu kadika nsoniki wu Mina wulonguka mambu ma Diyilu, dedikini banga pfumu yi nzo yimbonga bima bimona bithalu ayi bikhulu mu kiuka kiandi.
Then said he to them, Therefore every scribe who is instructed concerning the kingdom of heaven is like a man that is an householder, who bringeth forth out of his treasure things new and old.
53 Thangu Yesu kamanisa tuba zinongo ziozi wukatuka kuna,
And it came to pass, that when Jesus had finished these parables, he departed from there.
54 wuvutuka ku divula diandi. Wutona longa mu nzo yi lukutukunu. Buna basimina ayi batuba: —Buna kuevi kabakidi nzayilu yoyi ayi lulendo lolo luvangila bikumu biobi e?
And when he had come into his own country, he taught them in their synagogue, so that they were astonished, and said, How hath this man this wisdom, and these mighty works?
55 Keti niandi muana salaphati? Maliya diawu ko dizina di ngudi andi? Bosi Zaki, Zozefi, Simoni ayi Yuda basi ko bakhomba bandi zi babakala?
Is not this the carpenter’s son? is not his mother called Mary? and his brethren, James, and Joses, and Simon, and Judas?
56 Bosi bakhomba bandi zi baketo, keti zinkalanga yeto vava? Vayi niandi kuevi kabakidi mambu moso momo?
And his sisters, are they not all with us? How then hath this man all these things?
57 Niandi wuba kandika babika kunwilukila. Vayi Yesu wuba kamba: —Mbikudi katambulanga minsua mu tsi andi ko ayi mu dikanda diandi ko.
And they were offended in him. But Jesus said to them, A prophet is not without honour, except in his own country, and in his own house.
58 Diawu kasi vanga kuna bikumu biwombo ko mu diambu di kambu kuawu ku minu.
And he did not many mighty works there because of their unbelief.
