Luke 6 (IYX) · Opened

1Iluumbu imosi kia saba, Yiisu bu akisabuu matsiee ma bele, miyii mia nde miakabi bele, bakolili mbutu dia bele, banyonhinyi na badi.One Sabbath Jesus was passing through the grainfields, and His disciples began to pick the heads of grain, rub them in their hands, and eat them.

2Bafarisi ba bamosi baleeli kwaa bo: «Mu ima beni dili mu usa mandaa ma mikele mialii iluumbu kia saba?»But some of the Pharisees asked, “Why are you doing what is unlawful on the Sabbath?”

3Yiisu avutili kwaa bo: «Ka a dia taangi pe masi Daavidi, bu nde akwi nzala na babali na nde?Jesus replied, “Have you not read what David did when he and his companions were hungry?

4Nde akoti mu nzo a Nziaambi, aholi mapa ma baha bungori kwaa Nziaambi, adi mo ahi mo kwaa baata bali na nde. Bunu, ndila bangaanga ba Nziaambi bali na muswa mu udia mo.»He entered the house of God, took the consecrated bread and gave it to his companions, and ate what is lawful only for the priests to eat.”

5Yiisu aleeli kwaa bo: «Mwaana a muutu li Pfumu a iluumbu kia saba.»Then Jesus declared, “The Son of Man is Lord of the Sabbath.”

6Mu iluumbu ikimi kia saba, Yiisu akoti mu nzo a makutunu ma Bayuudayo mu uyiisi. Muu mwali na muutu, wali koo kia nde kia babaala kiabobo.On another Sabbath Jesus entered the synagogue and was teaching, and a man was there whose right hand was withered.

7Bayiisi ba mikele na bafarisi bakikete nde bubwe mu umono mbii ti Yiisu utuu ubeelese muutu mu iluumbu kia saba, paa basololo toono yi bo bufuundu nde.Looking for a reason to accuse Jesus, the scribes and Pharisees were watching Him closely to see if He would heal on the Sabbath.

8Ka Yiisu ayaabi matsimi ma bo. Nde aleeli kwa muutu wali na koo kiabobo: «Temene, yiri nha, nha kati a baata boosi.» Muutu, atemini ayiiri nha kula bo.But Jesus knew their thoughts and said to the man with the withered hand, “Get up and stand among us.” So he got up and stood there.

9Na Yiisu aleeli kwaa bo: «Me nifuulu kwaa beni: mu iluumbu kia saba, uli na muswa mu usa mandaa mamabwe so mamabi? Mu uvuusu muwuumu a muutu na so mu unyaala nde afuu?»Then Jesus said to them, “I ask you, which is lawful on the Sabbath: to do good or to do evil, to save life or to destroy it?”

10Nde atali baata boosi, aleeli kwaa ngaa koo kiabobo: «Sibili koo kia we.» Nde asibili kio na koo kia nde kiabeelii.And after looking around at all of them, He said to the man, “Stretch out your hand.” He did so, and it was restored.

11Bayiisi ba mikele na Bafarisi baluuli mu kesi, babayi imoo nha kati a bo mu yibafwaana usa kwaa Yiisu.But the scribes and Pharisees were filled with rage and began to discuss with one another what they might do to Jesus.

12Mu biluumbu bii, Yiisu ayeni ku mulaanda mu ukuundu. Butsuu ba bubiimbili, nde ali kuu mu ukuundu Nziaambi.In those days Jesus went out to the mountain to pray, and He spent the night in prayer to God.

13Bu bakieeri, Yiisu ati miyii mia nde mbila, asiooli kuumi na boolo, wabaluyi kuumbu batumu.When daylight came, He called His disciples to Him and chose twelve of them, whom He also designated as apostles:

14Simooni, wu nde aluyi kuumbu Peetero, Andere, mwaana a nguu a Peetero, Yaki, Yowani, Filipo, Baritelemi,Simon, whom He named Peter, and his brother Andrew; James and John; Philip and Bartholomew;

15Mataayi, Toma, Yaki, ni mwaana a Alife, Simooni wu bubaata Zelote.Matthew and Thomas; James son of Alphaeus and Simon called the Zealot;

16Na Yuuda mwaana a Yaakobi na Yuuda Isikarioti, wu ukituu muyeelili.Judas son of James, and Judas Iscariot, who became a traitor.

17Nde akulumini na bo, atemini nha mbuu ya ileese. Nhaa mwali na koongi yinene ya miyii mia nde, na koongi a baata balaa babamati mu tsi yoosi ya Yuuda, ku Yeruselemi. Babamosi ka bamati ku mangaanda ma Tiro na Sidoni, ni mangaanda mamali mu mukoo a mubu.Then Jesus came down with them and stood on a level place. A large crowd of His disciples was there, along with a great number of people from all over Judea, Jerusalem, and the seacoast of Tyre and Sidon.

18Bo bayiri mu uyuu nde na mu ubeeluu mu bibeeri bia bo. Ba miheebili mimibi miakikwaamisa, babeelii ka.They had come to hear Him and to be healed of their diseases, and those troubled by unclean spirits were healed.

19Koongi yoosi yasiayi mu ubeembe nde, mu ndaa lituu lakipala mu nde na lakibeelisi boosi.The entire crowd was trying to touch Him, because power was coming from Him and healing them all.

20Yiisu bu asiimbili misi kwaa miyii mia nde, wabaleeli: «Kinyi kwaa beni bali bawele, ka Ipfumu kia Nziaambi ili kia beni!Looking up at His disciples, Jesus said: “Blessed are you who are poor, for yours is the kingdom of God.

21Kinyi kwaa beni bali nzala mu taanga di, ka beni sa diyutuu! Kinyi kwaa beni bali mu ulili mu taanga di, ka beni sa disiebe!»Blessed are you who hunger now, for you will be filled. Blessed are you who weep now, for you will laugh.

22«Kinyi kwaa beni, so baata bubele beni, so baata butunu beni, so baata butuu beni, so baata buleele mabi mu beni mu ndaa a Mwaana a Muutu.Blessed are you when people hate you, and when they exclude you and insult you and reject your name as evil because of the Son of Man.

23Bu iluumbu kii ikaayira, diba na kinyi, diyaanga, ka mono, musieende a beni li wumunene ku yula, ka ni buu ka bwasi bataayi ba bo kwaa mibili.»Rejoice in that day and leap for joy, because great is your reward in heaven. For their fathers treated the prophets in the same way.

24«Ka ngebe kwaa beni bisini, beni dimaaholo mboondili a beni.But woe to you who are rich, for you have already received your comfort.

25Aa ngebe kwaa beni badili diayutuu mu taanga di, ka beni sa dikwa nzala! Aa ngebe kwaa beni badili mu usiebe mu taanga di, ka beni sa diba mu bukwiili na matsanga!Woe to you who are well fed now, for you will hunger. Woe to you who laugh now, for you will mourn and weep.

26Ngebe kwaa beni, mutaanga di baata boosi buleele ma mabwe mu beni, ka ni buu ka bwayilii bataayi ba bo kwaa mibili mia pia!»Woe to you when all men speak well of you, for their fathers treated the false prophets in the same way.

27«Ka kwaa beni ba dili mu uyuu me, me nadileeli: Ditoono mitaata mia beni, disa ma mabwe kwaa baata ba bali mu ubele beni.But to those of you who will listen, I say: Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you,

28Disieme babusibi beni, dikuundu mu ba butsoro beni.bless those who curse you, pray for those who mistreat you.

29So muutu teti we mu tama limosi, wamumweese ka lilimosi. So muutu holi iyungu kia we, nyaala nde aholo ka ikutu kia we.If someone strikes you on one cheek, turn to him the other also. And if someone takes your cloak, do not withhold your tunic as well.

30Pasi wu uloombo we, wamuha; wu holi bia we, a bwaloombo bio pe.Give to everyone who asks you, and if anyone takes what is yours, do not demand it back.

31Pasi bu ditooni ti baata badisa, ni buu beni disa kwaa bo.Do to others as you would have them do to you.

32So ditooni ndila babatoono beni, mu ima buvutulu beni matoondo? Bangaa masumu ka utoono ba batoono bo.If you love those who love you, what credit is that to you? Even sinners love those who love them.

33So dili mu usa mandaa mamabwe kwaa ba bali mu usa beni ma mabwe, mu ima buvutulu beni matoondo? Bangaa masumu bali mu usa ka pili mosi!If you do good to those who do good to you, what credit is that to you? Even sinners do the same.

34So dili mu usoombuso kwaa ba badiasa ilimbisi ti sa bafutu, mu ima buvutulu beni matoondo? Bangaa masumu ka bali mu usoombusono mu ndaa ubaa futu!And if you lend to those from whom you expect repayment, what credit is that to you? Even sinners lend to sinners, expecting to be repaid in full.

35Ka ditoono mitaata mia beni, disa mandaa mamabwe, disoomboso kwahele a ukebe ndaanda. Musieende a beni sa aba wu munene, na beni sa diba baana ba Nziaambi wa ku kati a yula, mundaa ti, nde li wumubwe kwaa ba buhele uvutulu nde matoondo na kwaa bababi.But love your enemies, do good to them, and lend to them, expecting nothing in return. Then your reward will be great, and you will be sons of the Most High; for He is kind to the ungrateful and wicked.

36Diba bangaa ngebe weti taayi a beni ni ngaa ngebe.»Be merciful, just as your Father is merciful.

37«A difuundusu pe, na mbari Nziaambi ka a ufuundusu beni pe. A dibwiisi pe, na mbari Nziaambi ka a ubwiisi pe beni. Disa bambaayi kolokolo, na Nziaambi ka sa wadisa kolokolo.Do not judge, and you will not be judged. Do not condemn, and you will not be condemned. Forgive, and you will be forgiven.

38Dikaba kwaa bambaayi na Nziaambi ka sa wadikaba. Sa baluusu mu pfwoolo a ikutu kia we iteesi ki ibwe ki bakomo, ki banyingisi, na kiapfwaabula. Ka iteesi ki beni dileesele bambaayi, sa Nziaambi sa aleesele beni ka mu kio.»Give, and it will be given to you. A good measure, pressed down, shaken together, and running over will be poured into your lap. For with the measure you use, it will be measured back to you.”

39Nde abwi ta bo tsaba: «ka ingimangimi utuu ubiti mbaayi ingimangimi? Ka bo baboolo a bubwa mutso dunu pe?Jesus also told them a parable: “Can a blind man lead a blind man? Will they not both fall into a pit?

40Muyii a avulu pe muyiisi a nde, ka pasi muyii wu ubaayii bubwe sa aba weti muyiisi a nde.A disciple is not above his teacher, but everyone who is fully trained will be like his teacher.

41Ka mu ima li mu umono itiiti kili mu lisi la mwaana a nguu a we, ka muti uli mu lisi la weme amoni nde pe?Why do you look at the speck in your brother’s eye but fail to notice the beam in your own eye?

42Buni utuu uleele kwaa mbaayi a we: Mbaayi, nyaala me maasa itiiti kili mu lisi la we, we makulu a amono muti uli mu lisi la we pe? We ngaa lisi kutso likaya, kwa maasa muti uli mu lisi la we makulu, tumake sa mono buni we utuu maasa itiiti kili mu lisi la mbaayi a we.»How can you say, ‘Brother, let me take the speck out of your eye,’ while you yourself fail to see the beam in your own eye? You hypocrite! First take the beam out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother’s eye.

43«A uli na muti wu mubwe wu ubaabutu mbutu dimbi pe, a uli ka na muti wu mubi wu ubaabutu mbutu dimbwe pe.No good tree bears bad fruit, nor does a bad tree bear good fruit.

44Ka pasi muti ayaabina mu mbutu dia nde. A bubaakaba mbutu dia bafiike mu muti wa matsieende pe, a bubaakaba mbutu dia viinyi mu mingaamba pe.For each tree is known by its own fruit. Indeed, figs are not gathered from thornbushes, nor grapes from brambles.

45Muutu wumubwe li mu upalisa mamabwe mu busini ba mutima a nde wumubwe. Muutu wumubi li mu upalisa mamabi mu mutima a nde wumubi. Mu ngwanya, munywa a muutu upalisa mamaluulu mu mutima nde.»The good man brings good things out of the good treasure of his heart, and the evil man brings evil things out of the evil treasure of his heart. For out of the overflow of the heart the mouth speaks.

46«Mu ima dibaata me “Pfumu, Pfumu”, ka a dibaayiluu pe ma nibaa leele beni?Why do you call Me ‘Lord, Lord,’ but do not do what I say?

47Pasi wu uyira kwaa me na uyuu mandaa ma me na uyiluu mbii bu mali, me sa mweese beni wu nde afwaanina:I will show you what he is like who comes to Me and hears My words and acts on them:

48Nde afwaanina na muutu watuungu nzo. Akwi haa, asundisi na asuusi ibwa nha yulu a manya. Nyaamba ya mifuri yayiri, yabwiilili nzo yii, yo a yabwiiri pe, mu ndaa ti yo batuungu bubwe.He is like a man building a house, who dug down deep and laid his foundation on the rock. When the flood came, the torrent crashed against that house but could not shake it, because it was well built.

49Ka wuli mu uyuu mandaa ma me, na ali mu usalila mo pe, afwaanina na muutu watuungu nzo nha yulu a tsieengi, kwahele a ibwa. Nyaamba yabwiilili yo: mawasa-mawasa yo uyaaba ubwa, na mbwiilili a nzo yii yali yinene!»But the one who hears My words and does not act on them is like a man who built his house on ground without a foundation. The torrent crashed against that house, and immediately it fell—and great was its destruction!”
