Luke 17 (IYX) · Opened

1Yiisu aleeli kwaa miyii mia nde: «Mabaka a mutuu uhele pe; ka ngebe kwaa wu ukubusu mo!Jesus said to His disciples, “It is inevitable that stumbling blocks will come, but woe to the one through whom they come!

2Bubwe bakutulu muutu wuu manya li linene mu kiingi na bamudumunu mu mubu, usa nde buu yavulu bubwe mu ndaa ti a ayabwisi mu masumu so ndila mosi mu bangebe ba.It would be better for him to have a millstone hung around his neck and to be thrown into the sea than to cause one of these little ones to stumble.

3Diyele! So mwaana a nguu a we si masumu, wamusieembe, so nde kiingili mayele, wamusa kolokolo.Watch yourselves. If your brother sins, rebuke him; and if he repents, forgive him.

4So nde si masumu mbala tsaamba mu iluumbu, ka nde yiri kwaa we mbala tsaamba na nde leeli: “Me kiingili mayele”; Wamusa kolokolo.»Even if he sins against you seven times in a day, and seven times returns to say, ‘I repent,’ you must forgive him.”

5Batumu baleeli kwaa pfumu: «Bweese bisi imiini.»The apostles said to the Lord, “Increase our faith!”

6Pfumu avutili: «So diali na imiini weti libutu la booyi, keni beni utuu uleele kwaa muti wu: Tapuu na yamene mu mubu; nde a keni utumumu beni.»And the Lord answered, “If you have faith the size of a mustard seed, you can say to this mulberry tree, ‘Be uprooted and planted in the sea,’ and it will obey you.

7«Mu beni boosi na li na musiali wu ubaasala matsiee so wu ubaakebe biboori, bu nde umata ku matsiee sa aleele kwaa nde: “Yoo mawasa diaala nha meese.”Which of you whose servant comes in from plowing or shepherding in the field will say to him, ‘Come at once and sit down to eat’?

8Ka nde sa aleele kwaa musiali a nde: “Laamba me bi nidia, sobo bikutu suusu me biloo me ndia na me nywa. Tumake we ka sa dia na unywa.”Instead, won’t he tell him, ‘Prepare my meal and dress yourself to serve me while I eat and drink, and afterward you may eat and drink’?

9Ka nde a ali na tsata a uvutulu matoondo kwaa musiali bu ayilii mi nde wamutumi pe!Does he thank the servant because he did what he was told?

10Pili mosi, beni ka, bu diyiluu moosi ma batumu beni, dileele: Bisi ni basiali bahele a ndutu: “dimaayiluu mi diafwaana uyiluu.”»So you also, when you have done everything commanded of you, should say, ‘We are unworthy servants; we have only done our duty.’”

11Bu Yiisu ali ayene ku Yeruselemi, nde alabii nha kati a Samaria na Ngalili.While Jesus was on His way to Jerusalem, He was passing between Samaria and Galilee.

12Bu nde akoti ku bula bu mosi, kuumi la babaala bangaa bwaari bamubwaani, bo batemini nha lala.As He entered one of the villages, He was met by ten lepers. They stood at a distance

13Baloyi, baleeli: «Yiisu, muyiisi, kwiilili bisi ngebe!»and raised their voices, shouting, “Jesus, Master, have mercy on us!”

14Bu nde amoni bo, aleeli: «Yenani diyamonuu kwaa bangaanga ba Nziaambi.» Bu bakiyene, bo babeelii.When Jesus saw them, He said, “Go, show yourselves to the priests.” And as they were on their way, they were cleansed.

15Ka ndila mosi mu bo bu amoni ti nde maabeeluu, avutii, akiinzi Nziaambi mu ndaa yinene;When one of them saw that he was healed, he came back, praising God in a loud voice.

16nde atsukini busu mu tsi nha miili mia Yiisu, na avutili matoondo kwaa nde. Nde ali musi Samaria.He fell facedown at Jesus’ feet in thanksgiving to Him—and he was a Samaritan.

17Yiisu aleeli: «Bo a kuumi pe babeeluu? Ka ba wa kuni bali?“Were not all ten cleansed?” Jesus asked. “Where then are the other nine?

18Wo! Ndili a mweenyi wu yiri avutuu mu uvutulu matoondo kwaa Nziaambi?»Was no one found except this foreigner to return and give glory to God?”

19Tumake, Yiisu aleeli kwaa nde: «temene yene; imiini kia we ivuuyisi we.»Then Jesus said to him, “Rise and go; your faith has made you well!”

20Bafarisi bafuuli Yiisu mu uyaaba ki taanga Ipfumu kia Nziaambi yikaayira, nde avutili kwaa bo: «Ipfumu kia Nziaambi a ili mu uyiri weti iloo ki dimono mu misi pe.When asked by the Pharisees when the kingdom of God would come, Jesus replied, “The kingdom of God will not come with observable signs.

21A buleele pe: “Kio nha ili”, so “Kio kunaa ili!” Ka mono Ipfumu kia Nziaambi yili nha kati a beni.»Nor will people say, ‘Look, here it is,’ or ‘There it is.’ For you see, the kingdom of God is in your midst.”

22Nde aleeli kwaa miyii: «Taanga dikaayira beni sadiba na nzala a umono Mwaana a muutu so mu ndila iluumbu imosi, ka a dimono nde pe.Then He said to the disciples, “The time is coming when you will long to see one of the days of the Son of Man, but you will not see it.

23Sa baleele kwaa beni: “Nde kunaa ali!” so “nde nha ali!” A diyene kuu pe, a didumu matiini kuu pe.People will tell you, ‘Look, there He is!’ or ‘Look, here He is!’ Do not go out or chase after them.

24Ka mbii bu nzieri ubaasiereme mu uyalisa yulu loosi, ni buu, bukaaba Mwaana a muutu mu iluumbu kia nde.For just as the lightning flashes and lights up the sky from one end to the other, so will be the Son of Man in His day.

25Ka nde afwaana ukwamono pasi dialaa na sa babisi nde kwaa baata ba kubu yi.But first He must suffer many things and be rejected by this generation.

26Miayilimi mu taanga dia Nowa, sa miyilimi ka mu biluumbu bia Mwaana a muutu.Just as it was in the days of Noah, so also will it be in the days of the Son of Man:

27Baata bakidia na unywa, Bakaasa na babaala bakikweele na bakikweelise natee mu iluumbu kia koti Nowa mu nzaasa, nyaamba a maamba yayiri, yafuusi bioosi.People were eating and drinking, marrying and being given in marriage, up to the day Noah entered the ark. Then the flood came and destroyed them all.

28Sa iba mbii bwali mu taanga dia Loti: Baata bakidia, bakinywa, bakisuumbu, bakiyaluu, bakikunu, bakituungu;It was the same in the days of Lot: People were eating and drinking, buying and selling, planting and building.

29ka mu iluumbi kiapali Loti mu ngaanda a Sodomo mbaa na mamanya ma mbaa bianoyi, biafuusi boosi.But on the day Lot left Sodom, fire and sulfur rained down from heaven and destroyed them all.

30Ni buu bukaaba mu iluumbu kikaamonuu mwaana a muutu.It will be just like that on the day the Son of Man is revealed.

31Mu iluumbu kii, wukaaba ku yulu a siaangi a nyaala usutuu mu uyaholo bisii bia nde mu nzo. Na wu kaba ku matsiee anyaala uvutuu ku nzo.On that day, let no one on the housetop come down to retrieve his possessions. Likewise, let no one in the field return for anything he has left behind.

32Dilibili moonyi mu mukari a Loti.Remember Lot’s wife!

33Wu usaa uvuusu idiingi kia nde, sa adiimbisi kio, na wu udiimbisi idiingi kia nde, sa avuusu kio.Whoever tries to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life will preserve it.

34Me nadileele: Butsuu baa, mu baata boolo ba bala nha yulu a mbuu mosi, mosi sa baholo, na sa basiisi wunu.I tell you, on that night two people will be in one bed: one will be taken and the other left.

35Mu Bakaasa boolo ba bunyii mayaa nha mbuu mosi, mosi sa baholo, wu mumosi sa basiisi.Two women will be grinding grain together: one will be taken and the other left.”

36Mu Babaala boolo ba busala nha tsiee mosi, mosi sa baholo, wu mumosi sa basiisi.»Not in the BSB

37Miyii miafuulu kwaa nde: «Pfumu, kuni maa makaayilimi?» Nde aleeli kwaa bo: «Ku kukaaba mvuumbi, ni kuu ku kaakukunu mileri.»“Where, Lord?” they asked. Jesus answered, “Wherever there is a carcass, there the vultures will gather.”
