Matthew 13
1 Mu lumbu beni, Yesu wutotuka mu nzo ayi wuyenda vuanda mu muenda mbu.
Now on 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 many people were gathered together to bear Him, so that He went into a ship and sat down, and all the multitude stood upon the shore; and He spake to them many things in parables,
3 Wuba longa mambu mawombo mu zinongo. Buna wuba kamba: —Nkuni wumosi wuyenda ku muanga mbongo.
saying, "Behold a sower went out to sow;
4 Bu kaba muanga mbongo; ndambu yibua mu ndambu nzila, zinuni ziyiza mana kuyidoda.
and as he was sowing, some seeds fell by the way-side, and the birds came and ate them up:
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 they soon sprung up indeed, because they had no depth of earth;
6 Vayi muini wungolo bu wutotuka, mintuidila beni miyokana ayi miyuma bila mianzi miawu misia kota ko mboti mu tsi ntoto.
but when the sun rose, they were burnt up, and withered; because they had no root:
7 Zitheti zinkaka zibua va zitsendi. Zitsendi beni zimena ayi zifietikisa mintuidila beni.
and others fell among thorns; and the thorns grew 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 on good ground, and yielded fruit, some an hundred-fold, some sixty, and some thirty.
9 Woso widi matu ma wila buna bika kawa.
He that 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 to Him and said, Why dost thou speak 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.
And He answered them, saying, Because it is granted unto you to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it is not granted:
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 whosoever really hath, to him shall be given, and he shall have abundantly; but whosoever thus hath not, even that which he hath, shall be taken away from him:
13 Diawu ndikubakambilanga mu zinongo bila balembo tadi vayi bakadi mona, ka diambu ko batembi makutu vayi bakadi wa ayi bakadi sudika.
for this reason I speak to them in parables; because though they see, they will not see; and though they hear, they will not hear, nor 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, Ye shall hear by the hearing of the ear, and not understand; and in seeing ye shall see, and not perceive: for the heart of this people is grown stupid,
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!
and their ears are dull of hearing, and they have closed their eyes; least they should see at all with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and understand with their heart, and 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 indeed I tell you, that many prophets and righteous men have desired to see the things which ye see, and have not seen them; and to hear what 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. When any one heareth the word of the gospel-kingdom,
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.
and regardeth it not, then cometh the wicked one, and snatcheth away that which was sown in his heart: this is he who received the seed as by the way-side.
20 Mbongo yoyi yibua va matadi yawu mutu wuwa mambu ma Nzambi ayi wutumbu vika ku matambula mu khini.
And he who received the seed as upon stony grounds, is one that heareth the word and immediately receiveth it with joy:
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 hath he no root in himself, and therefore is but for a short season; and when affliction cometh, or persecution on account of the word, he is as soon disgusted.
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)
And he that received the seed among the thorns, is one that likewise heareth the word; but the care of this world, and the deceitfulness of riches choketh the word, and so it 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 who received the seed into good ground, is one that heareth and understandeth the word, who indeed beareth fruit, and yieldeth, like fertile lands, some an hundred-fold, some sixty, some thirty.
24 Yesu wuba kamba nongo yinkaka: —Kipfumu ki Diyilu kidedakani banga mutu wowo wukuna mabongo yimboti mu tsolꞌandi.
Another parable propounded He unto them, saying, The kingdom of heaven is like a man, who sowed good grain in his ground:
25 Vayi batu bu baba baleka mbeniꞌandi wuyiza kuna kiti ki mbimbi va khatitsika ble bosi wuyenda kuandi.
but while men were asleep, his enemy came and sowed tares among the wheat, and went away.
26 Ble bu kimena ayi kitotula zitsangu buna kiti ki mbimbi diaka kimena.
Now when the blade shot forth, and produced the corn, then the tares also appeared.
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 came to their master, and said unto him, Sir, didst not thou sow good seed in thy field? whence then are the tares?
28 Niandi wuba vutudila: —Mbeni niandi wuvengi buawu. Buna bisadi binyuvula: —Tidi tuenda vuzi kiti kioki kimbimbi e?
And he said unto them, Some enemy hath done this. The servants therefore said unto 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, No: least in plucking up the tares ye root up the corn along 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 till harvest, and in the time of the harvest I will say to the reapers, First gather the weeds together, and bind them in bundles to burn them; but carry 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 delivered He unto them, saying, The gospel-kingdom 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 is indeed one of the lest of all seeds: but when it is grown, is the greatest among herbs, and even becometh a tree; so that the birds of the air come and lodge in it's 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 spake He unto them, saying, The gospel-kingdom is like leaven, which a woman took and put into a large quantity of dough, 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 spake Jesus in parables to the multitudes; and at this time He spake nothing to them without a parable:
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 publish things which have been concealed 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 leaving the multitude went into the house; and his disciples came to Him, saying, Explain to us the parable of the tares of the field:
37 Yesu wuvutula: —Muana Mutu niandi mutu kunini mbongo yi mboti.
and He answered them, and said, 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 my kingdom; and 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 together, and burnt in the fire; so shall it be in the end of the 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 will send forth his angels, and they shall gather out of his kingdom all that commit offences, and those who do iniquity, and shall cast them into the furnace of fire,
42 Zimbasi ziela loza batu beni ku mfulu yi mbazu. Kuna kuidi bidilu ayi nkuetosolo wu meno.
and 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!
But the righteous shall then shine forth as the sun in the kingdom of their Father. He that 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 a man having found conceals, and being rejoiced at it goes and sells all that he has, and purchases that field.
45 Kipfumu ki Diyilu kidedakani diaka banga mukhita wowo wuntombanga bilunga bi kitoko.
Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a merchant seeking precious pearls,
46 Enati bakudi lunga kimosi kithalu yiwombo, buna wela kuenda sumbisa bima biandi bioso ayi sumba lunga beni.
who, having found one of great value, 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 inclosed fishes of various sorts;
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 dragged to the shore, and sat down and gathered the good into vessels, and threw out 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 fiery furnace, and there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth.
51 —Lusudikidi mambu moso mama e? Bavutula: —Nyinga.
Then saith Jesus unto them, Did ye understand all these? they say unto Him, Yes, Lord: and He said unto them,
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.
Therefore every teacher, who has been thus instructed in the knowledge of the kingdom of heaven, is like a master of a family, who brings forth out of his store things new and old.
53 Thangu Yesu kamanisa tuba zinongo ziozi wukatuka kuna,
And when Jesus had finished these parables, he departed thence:
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 came into his own country, and taught them in their synagogues; so that they were amazed and said, Whence hath this man this wisdom and these powers?
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 here among us? from whence 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.
So they were prejudiced against Him. But Jesus said unto them, A prophet is no where less honoured than in his own country, and in his own family.
58 Diawu kasi vanga kuna bikumu biwombo ko mu diambu di kambu kuawu ku minu.
And he did not many miracles there, because of their unbelief.
