Matthew 8
1 Yesu bu kakulumuka mongo; nkangu wunneni wunlandakana.
Upon descending from the hill country He was followed by immense crowds.
2 Buna mutu wumosi wuba kimbevo kibuazi wuyiza kuidi Yesu, wufukama va ntualꞌandi ayi wutuba: —A Pfumu, enati tidi, wulenda kuaku kumbelusa!
And a leper came to Him, and throwing himself at His feet, said, "Sir, if only you are willing you are able to cleanse me."
3 Yesu wunonuna koko kuandi, wunsimba ayi wunkamba: —Nyinga thidi, beluka kuaku. Mu yina thangu wubeluka mu buazi buandi.
So Jesus put out His hand and touched him, and said, "I am willing: be cleansed." Instantly he was cleansed from his leprosy;
4 Bosi Yesu wunkamba: —Vayi keba, kadi kamba kadi kuidi mutu wumosi mambu mama vayi yenda kimonisa kuidi nganga Nzambi ayi nata dikaba dilomba Moyize mu diambu diba kimbangi kuidi bawu.
and Jesus said to him, "Be careful to tell no one, but go and show yourself to the priest, and offer the gift which Moses appointed as evidence for them."
5 Yesu bu katula ku Kafalinawumi, pfumu yimosi yi masodi wuyiza kuidi niandi. Wunleba ayi wutuba:
After His entry into Capernaum a Captain came to Him, and entreated Him.
6 —Pfumu, kisadi kiama kilekidi ku nzo, kimbevo ki binama kidi yandi ayi ziphasi ziwombo kalembo moni.
"Sir," he said, "my servant at home is lying ill with paralysis, and is suffering great pain."
7 Yesu wumvutudila: —Nyinga, ndiela kuiza ayi ndiela kumbelusa.
"I will come and cure him," said Jesus.
8 Vayi Pfumu yi masodi wutuba: —A Pfumu! Minu ndisi wufuana ko muingi ngeyo wukota mu nzo ama vayi tuba kaka diambu dimosi buna kisadi kiama kiela beluka.
"Sir," replied the Captain, "I am not a fit person to receive you under my roof: merely say the word, and my servant will be cured.
9 Bila nzebi diawu, minu mamvama ndidi ku tsi luyalu lu bapfumu ayi ndieti tumina bankaka. Minu kamba kuidi wumosi: “Yenda” makenda ayi minu kamba wunkaka: “yiza” makiza ayi kuidi kisadi kiama: “vanga buabu”, maka vanga buawu.
For I myself am also under authority, and have soldiers under me. To one I say 'Go,' and he goes, to another 'Come,' and he comes, and to my slave 'Do this or that,' and he does it."
10 Yesu wusimina buwombo bu kawa mambu mandi. Wukamba batu bobo baba kunlandakananga: —Bukiedika ndikulukamba ndimueni ko minu kinneni mu Iseli dioso.
Jesus listened to this reply, and was astonished, and said to the people following Him, "I solemnly tell you that in no Israelite have I found faith as great as this.
11 Ndikulukamba ti batu bawombo bela ba ku Esite ayi ku Wesite bela vuanda mu kipfumu ki diyilu mu kipfumu ki diyilu va kimosi ayi Abalahami, Isaki ayi Yakobi.
And I tell you that many will come from the east and from the west and will recline at table with Abraham, Isaac and Jacob in the Kingdom of the Heavens,
12 Vayi bobo bakubukulu kipfumu bela lozo ku nganda kuidi tombi, kuna kuela ba bidilu ayi nkuetoso wu meno.
while the natural heirs of the Kingdom will be driven out into the darkness outside: there will be the weeping aloud and the gnashing of teeth."
13 Bosi Yesu wukamba kuidi pfumu yi masodi: —Vutuka kuaku bika buvangimina boso bu wilukidingi! Buna kisadi kiandi kibeluka kuandi muna thangu yina.
And Jesus said to the Captain, "Go, and just as you have believed, so be it for you." And the servant recovered precisely at that time.
14 Thangu Yesu katula ku nzo Piela, wuyenda bata nzitu Piela wuba wuleka va mbuka bila zinzangala zingolo ziba yandi.
After this Jesus went to the house of Peter, whose mother-in-law he found ill in bed with fever.
15 Yesu bu kansimba mu koko, zinzangala zimana. Bosi wutelama mu kunkubikila bidia.
He touched her hand and the fever left her: and then she rose and waited upon Him.
16 Mu masika mana, banatina Yesu batu bawombo bobo baba ayi ziphevi zimbimbi. Mu mambu mandi katuba muawu kakukila ziphevi beni zimbimbi. Ayi wubelusa batu boso bobo baba bimbevo.
In the evening many demoniacs were brought to Him, and with a word He expelled the demons; and He cured all the sick,
17 Buawu bobo mambu mambikudi Ezayi madedikinina: Wubonga ziphasi zieto ayi wunata bimbevo bieto.
in order that this prediction of the Prophet Isaiah might be fulfilled, "He took on Him our weaknesses, and bore the burden of our diseases."
18 Yesu bu kamona nkangu wu batu wunzungidila, wutuma minlonguki miandi mu sabuka ku disimu dinkaka di mbu.
Seeing great crowds about Him Jesus had given directions to cross to the other side of the Lake,
19 Nlongi wumosi wu Mina wufikama ayi wunkamba: —A nlongi, thidi kulandakana koso ku wunkuenda.
when a Scribe came and said to Him, "Teacher, I will follow you wherever you go."
20 Vayi Yesu wumvutudila: —Mimbaku midi ayi minsuku miawu miomi mieti leka, zinuni zidi ayi zindiala ziawu, vayi Muana Mutu kasi ko buangu kikalenda vundisila ntu.
"Foxes have holes," replied Jesus, "and birds have nests; but the Son of Man has nowhere to lay His head."
21 Wumosi mu minlonguki miandi wunkanba: —A Pfumu! Wundemvukila, vingila theti ndienda ziki dise diama.
Another of the disciples said to Him, "Sir, allow me first to go and bury my father."
22 Vayi Yesu wumvutudila: —Wundandakana; bika bafua bazika batu bawu bafua!
"Follow me," said Jesus, "and leave the dead to bury their own dead."
23 Buna wukuma mu nlungu ayi minlonguki miandi minlandakana.
Then He went on board a fishing-boat, and His disciples followed Him.
24 Zimbukila vuka kimosi kingolo kitona mu mbu, mayo mavioka nlungu mu ntela vayi Yesu wuba wuleka.
But suddenly there arose a great storm on the Lake, so that the waves threatened to engulf the boat; but He was asleep.
25 Minlonguki mifikama va kaba, minkotula mu yamikina: —Pfumu! Wutuvukisa, tueka mfua!
So they came and woke Him, crying, "Master, save us, we are drowning!"
26 Yesu wuba vutudila: —Bila mbi lulembo monina boma e? Batu ba minu kikhioki! Yesu wutelama, wutemina vuka ayi mbu; buna ndembama yivutuka.
"Why are you so easily frightened," He replied, "you men of little faith?" Then He rose and reproved the winds and the waves, and there was a perfect calm;
27 Batu basimina ayi batuba: —A buna nani niawu muingi bivuka ayi mbu bintumukina e?
and the men, filled with amazement, exclaimed, "What kind of man is this? for the very winds and waves obey him!"
28 Mu thangu batula ku disimu di mbu, mu zunga ki basi Ngelasa, batu buadi baba ziphevi zimbimbi batotuka mu biziami bayiza kundengana. Zinganzi ziwombo ziba yawu; diawu kadi mutu wumosi kasia nunga ko mu viokila vana.
On His arrival at the other side, in the country of the Gadarenes, there met Him two men possessed by demons, coming from among the tombs: they were so dangerously fierce that no one was able to pass that way.
29 Bayamikina: —Diambu mbi tidi kutuvanga ngeyo Muana Nzambi e? Wizidi mu kutuyamisa tuamina thanguꞌeto yifuana e?
They cried aloud, "What hast Thou to do with us, Thou Son of God? Hast Thou come here to torment us before the time?"
30 Va ndambu beni vaba nkangu wu zingulu ziba ndia.
Now at some distance from them a vast herd of swine were feeding.
31 Buna ziphevi beni zimbimbi zileba Yesu: —Enati weka tukuka, buna wututuma tukota kueto mu zingulu ziozi!
So the demons entreated Him. "If Thou drivest us out," they said, "send us into the herd of swine."
32 Yesu wuba kamba: —Yendanu! Zitotuka mu batu buadi beni zikota mu zingulu. Buna zingulu beni zioso zibotuka nsualu ku mongo ayi zidiama mu mbu, zimana fua.
"Go," He replied. Then they came out from the men and went into the swine, whereupon the entire herd instantly rushed down the cliff into the Lake and perished in the water.
33 Batu bobo basunga zingulu batina; bayenda nsualu ku divula ayi basamuna mamo maviokidi ayi mavangimini mu batu bobo baba ziphevi zimbimbi.
The swineherds fled, and went and told the whole story in the town, including what had happened to the demoniacs.
34 Batu boso ba divula dina bayiza dengana Yesu ayi bu bammona buna banleba kabotuka mu zunga kiawu.
So at once the whole population came out to meet Jesus; and when they saw Him, they besought Him to leave their country.
