Luke 17 (YAF) · Opened

1Yesu wázimbula kwena balonguki bandi: «Bwalendaku salama ni kukalaku mambu mana misi hukumuna; kaasi kyadi kwena mutu wuna mabwidi!Jesus said to His disciples, “It is inevitable that stumbling blocks will come, but woe to the one through whom they come!

2Bulungi kwena yandi bamuzitikila, muna tsingu, kalunga tadi amana bamudibula muna yanga dya mbuta, ndangu kahukumuna nana mosi wa baleki baba.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.

3Dikengenu! «Yuka ni phangi waku kasumuki, musongila mbi yandi. Honi kabalula mbundu, mulolula.Watch yourselves. If your brother sins, rebuke him; and if he repents, forgive him.

4Yukani kasumuki, kwena ngeyi, mbala tsambwadi muna kilumbu, amana ni mbala tsambwadi wisi vutuka kwena ngeyi, mu kuzimbula: "Yibálula mbundu", wamúlolula.»Even if he sins against you seven times in a day, and seven times returns to say, ‘I repent,’ you must forgive him.”

5Bathumwa bázimbula kwena Pfumu: «Tuyika lukwikilu lwa lawu.»The apostles said to the Lord, “Increase our faith!”

6Pfumu wávutula: «Wadi lwakala yi lukwikilu hanga ngenza ya tidi, lukhani zonza kwena kalamba ka miti wawu: "Divusa, awenda dikuna muna yanga dya mbuta", amana wululemvukidi.»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«Nati ha kati dya benu, yukani kakala yi musadi wisi bundula holo wisi hungula kibuka kya mikoku, tangwa kisi vutukisa ku bilanga, kamúzimbwala: "Awisa tswatsu wasikuka ha mesa"?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’?

8Kaasi kamúzimbwalaku bwabu: "Ndambila kudya kwa meni, vwata miledi mya kisalu kikuma kya kungidikila mesa, yi kuna yidya amana ndwi, kunima, ngeyi phi wafwana dya, wanwa phi"?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’?

9Yandi, keku yi mupfunu wa kumuvutwala matondu musadi wuna tangwa kamuhangidi bwosu kámulomba?Does he thank the servant because he did what he was told?

10Phila mosi yi benu phi tangwa lwasála mosu mana kalúlomba, zimbulenu: "Betu, basadi kwetu thwenina; twásala lwesi mana twáfwana kusala."»So you also, when you have done everything commanded of you, should say, ‘We are unworthy servants; we have only done our duty.’”

11Bwosu kakala kwenda ku Yelusalemi, kakala hyokila hana kati dya Samadiya yi Ngadidi.While Jesus was on His way to Jerusalem, He was passing between Samaria and Galilee.

12Amana mu kukota kwandi mu hata dimosi, bakwa bwasi kumi bisa mutundakana. Bátelama kuna kyana,As He entered one of the villages, He was met by ten lepers. They stood at a distance

13báthuta ndinga amana bázimbula: «Yesu, Mulongi, tuyukila kyadi!»and raised their voices, shouting, “Jesus, Master, have mercy on us!”

14Amana tangwa kábamona, wábazimbwala: «Ndenu lwenda disongila kwena banganga Nzambi.» Buna bakala kwenda kwakuna, básema.When Jesus saw them, He said, “Go, show yourselves to the priests.” And as they were on their way, they were cleansed.

15Mosi wa bawu, buna kádimona ni wusemi, wisa vutukisa, mu kuzatula Nzambi mu ndinga ya ngolu.When one of them saw that he was healed, he came back, praising God in a loud voice.

16Wábwa mbunzu mu mafu muna bitambi bya Yesu amana wámuvutwala matondu. Mwisi Samadiya kákala.He fell facedown at Jesus’ feet in thanksgiving to Him—and he was a Samaritan.

17Amana Yesu wáhyula: «Ka boosu ku bawu kumi basemi? Amana vwa dyahika, ku biki dyenina?“Were not all ten cleansed?” Jesus asked. “Where then are the other nine?

18Kaka munzenza meni yandu lwesi wudimonikisi mu kwisa vutuka kuhana khembu kwena Nzambi?»Was no one found except this foreigner to return and give glory to God?”

19Kunima, wámuzimbwala: «Telama, ndawenda. Lukwikilu lwaku lukuhuludini.»Then Jesus said to him, “Rise and go; your faith has made you well!”

20Bamuhyudi kwena Bafwadisi ndangu bazaya ho mu khi tangwa kyakwísa Kipfumu kya Nzambi. Yandi wábavutwala: «Kipfumu kya Nzambi kisiku kwisa mu phila yina bafwani bamoninakya.When asked by the Pharisees when the kingdom of God would come, Jesus replied, “The kingdom of God will not come with observable signs.

21Bazímbulaku ni "Talenu, haka kyenina!" Holo "Kuna kyenina!" Mukuma Kipfumu kya Nzambi, hana kati dya benu kyenina.»Nor will people say, ‘Look, here it is,’ or ‘There it is.’ For you see, the kingdom of God is in your midst.”

22Amana wázimbula hika kwena balonguki: «Bilumbu byakwísa bina lwasánda ndangu lwamóna keti kimosi kya bilumbu bya Mwana wa mutu, kaasi lwamónakyoku.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.

23Balúzimbwala: "Kuna kenina!" Holo, "Kwaku kenina!" Kaasi lwendakwoku, lutsyakulakwoku.People will tell you, ‘Look, there He is!’ or ‘Look, here He is!’ Do not go out or chase after them.

24Mukuma, bwosu wisi kenya munyenya, tselu yi tselu ya zilu, yibwana buna kakála Mwana wa mutu mu kilumbu kyandi.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.

25Kaasi buluti theti, kanyokwama lawu; amana bamulosila kwena mbandu yayi.But first He must suffer many things and be rejected by this generation.

26Mana máluta mu bilumbu bya Nowa; phila mosi malúta mu bilumbu bya Mwana wa mutu.Just as it was in the days of Noah, so also will it be in the days of the Son of Man:

27Batu bakala dya, bakala nwa, bayakala yi bakhetu bakala kwela yi ku dikwela tii yi kuna kakótila Nowa mu nzasa: hanga kithombu kisi zaluka, kibatotisi boosu.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.

28Bwana, bwabuna bwákala phi hanga mu bilumbu bya Loti: batu bakala dya, bakala nwa, bakala sumba, bakala sumbisa, bakala kuna amana bakala tunga phi;It was the same in the days of Lot: People were eating and drinking, buying and selling, planting and building.

29kaasi kilumbu kina kalubuka Loti mu Sotomu, mvula mosi wanoka wa mbawu yi bupfundu bwakala lema ku zilu, amana wábatotisa boosu.But on the day Lot left Sodom, fire and sulfur rained down from heaven and destroyed them all.

30Phila mosi malúta kilumbu kina kakwisa sengumuka Mwana wa mutu.It will be just like that on the day the Son of Man is revealed.

31«Muna kilumbu kina, wuna wakála ku nzila hana mudilu, wakála yi bima byandi mu nzu, katulukaku kikuma kya kubongabya; amana wuna wakála phi ku bilanga, kavutukaku mu manima.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.

32Bambukenu mukhetu wa Loti!Remember Lot’s wife!

33Wuna wásanda kusweka luzingu lwandi, katótisalwa, kaasi wuna watótisalwa, kahúlulalwa.Whoever tries to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life will preserve it.

34"Yiluzimbwadibwa ni, muna phipha meni yina, ha kati dya batu bodi bakála ha thangi yimosi, mosi bamútambula amana mukwawu kasála.I tell you, on that night two people will be in one bed: one will be taken and the other left.

35Mu kati dya bakhetu bodi bakwata toka mu kindundu, mosi bamúnata, mukwawu kasála.Two women will be grinding grain together: one will be taken and the other left.”

36Bayakala bodi bakála mu kilanga kimosi, mosi bamúnata, mukwawu kasála.»Not in the BSB

37Balonguki bámuzimbwala: «Ku biki, Pfumu?» Amana yandi wávutula: «Kuna kwakála mvumbi, yi kwakuna phi bakútakanina bangandwanganga.»“Where, Lord?” they asked. Jesus answered, “Wherever there is a carcass, there the vultures will gather.”
