YAF
Yesu kakala batila kingana kyaki mu kusongila ni bulungi, kulombila bilumbu byosu amana konda kulembwa.
BSB
BSB:
Then Jesus told them a parable about their need to pray at all times and not lose heart:
2
YAF
Kázimbula bwabu: «Kwákala, ku mbanza mosi, yi zusi mosi, wákalaku banga Nzambi amana kakala lewula mutu woosu.
BSB
BSB:
“In a certain town there was a judge who neither feared God nor respected men.
3
YAF
Mwákala phi, muna mbanza meni yana, yi mukhetu mosi wa mufwidi wuna wakala kwisa mu kumuzimbwala: "Nzengila mukanu wawu, kikuma baphangi mbi."
BSB
BSB:
And there was a widow in that town who kept appealing to him, ‘Give me justice against my adversary.’
4
YAF
Tuka thama, zusi kázolaku; kaasi kunima, wádizimbwala: "Ketibwe yisiku banga Nzambi amana yisi lewula batu,
BSB
BSB:
For a while he refused, but later he said to himself, ‘Though I neither fear God nor respect men,
5
YAF
kaasi kikuma mufwidi yandu kabati ngyangisa, yimúzengila mukanu ndangu kisaku ngyata mutwa."»
BSB
BSB:
yet because this widow keeps pestering me, I will give her justice. Otherwise, she will wear me out with her perpetual requests.’”
6
YAF
Pfumu wáyika: «Yukenu buna kazimbudi zusi wa mbi.
BSB
BSB:
And the Lord said,
“Listen to the words of the unjust judge.
7
YAF
Amana Nzambi, kakonda zengila, batu bandi kásola, mukanu, tangwa babati mutela phipha yi mwini? Kabáhingidisa?
BSB
BSB:
Will not God bring about justice for His elect who cry out to Him day and night? Will He delay in helping them?
8
YAF
Yiluzimbwadibwa, kabázengila mukanu yi tswatsu. Kaasi tangwa kakwísa Mwana wa mutu, lukwikilu kakwisa wana ha tsi?»
BSB
BSB:
I tell you, He will promptly carry out justice on their behalf. Nevertheless, when the Son of Man comes, will He find faith on earth?”
9
YAF
Yesu wáta hika kingana kyaki, kikuma kya batu bahika bisi dibanzila ni basungama kaasi bisi lewula bakwawu:
BSB
BSB:
To some who trusted in their own righteousness and viewed others with contempt, He also told this parable:
10
YAF
«Bayakala bodi bakala kwenda ku nzu ya Nzambi mu kulombila; mosi kákala mufwadisi, mukwawu, kalaki ka phaku.
BSB
BSB:
“Two men went up to the temple to pray. One was a Pharisee and the other a tax collector.
11
YAF
Mufwadisi wátelama, wálombila bwabu yandi meni: "Ah! Nzambi, yikuvutwadi matondu kikuma yeku hanga bayakala bahika, bena befi yi batu bakonda sungama, bita-mbongi; holo hanga kalaki ka phaku yandi.
BSB
BSB:
The Pharisee stood by himself and prayed, ‘God, I thank You that I am not like other men—swindlers, evildoers, adulterers—or even like this tax collector.
12
YAF
Yisi zila kudya, mbala zodi muna phosa, yisi futa kimosi kya kumi kya bima byama byosu."
BSB
BSB:
I fast twice a week and pay tithes of all that I acquire.’
13
YAF
Kalaki ka phaku, yandi, kákala watelama kuna kyana; kálendaku kuvumbula mesu ku zilu, kaasi kákala bunda hana thulu yi kuzonzaka: "Ah! Nzambi, ngyukila kyadi, musumuki yenina."
BSB
BSB:
But the tax collector stood at a distance, unwilling even to lift up his eyes to heaven. Instead, he beat his breast and said, ‘God, have mercy on me, a sinner!’
14
YAF
Kyedika yiluzimbwadibwa, yandu-yandu wákulumuka hika ku nzu yandi, mu ndonga yi Nzambi; kaasi ka wuna ku mukwawu. Mukuma wuna wadítombula, kakúlumuka; kaasi wuna wadíkulumuna, katómbuka.»
BSB
BSB:
I tell you, this man, rather than the Pharisee, went home justified. For everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, but the one who humbles himself will be exalted.”
15
YAF
Batu bakala nata kwena Yesu keti bana bakhunda ba lubutu, ndangu kabasimba yi koku. Balonguki, mu kumona bwabuna, báyandika kubakaya.
BSB
BSB:
Now people were even bringing their babies to Jesus for Him to place His hands on them. And when the disciples saw this, they rebuked those who brought them.
16
YAF
Kaasi Yesu wáhana muswa ni bamunatina bawu amana wázimbula: «Yambulenu bana bisa kwena meni. Lubakandisaku, mukuma Kipfumu kya Nzambi kyenina kikuma kya bana bena hanga bawu.
BSB
BSB:
But Jesus called the children to Him and said,
“Let the little children come to Me, and do not hinder them! For the kingdom of God belongs to such as these.
17
YAF
Mu kyedika yiluzimbwadi: wuna wakonda yamba Kipfumu kya Nzambi hanga mwana wa khunda, kakótamwoku, swa!»
BSB
BSB:
Truly I tell you, anyone who does not receive the kingdom of God like a little child will never enter it.”
18
YAF
Pfumu mosi wáhyula kwena Yesu: «Mulongi wa bukheti, biki pfwani yihanga mu kubonga luzingu lwakonda tsuka?»
BSB
BSB:
Then a certain ruler asked Him, “Good Teacher, what must I do to inherit eternal life?”
19
YAF
Yesu wámuzimbwala: «Kikuma kya biki wuthedidi wa bukheti? Heku mutu wenina wa bukheti ho ka Nzambi lwesi ku.
BSB
BSB:
“Why do you call Me good?”
Jesus replied.
“No one is good except God alone.
20
YAF
Wuzayi mitsiku: "Taku mbongi, hondaku, yibaku; taku kimbangi kya luvunu, zitisa tata waku yi ngudi waku.»
BSB
BSB:
You know the commandments: ‘Do not commit adultery, do not murder, do not steal, do not bear false witness, honor your father and mother.’”
21
YAF
Mutu wuna wávutula: «Yisi lemvukilamya myana myosu tukidila kileki kyama.»
BSB
BSB:
“All these I have kept from my youth,” he said.
22
YAF
Yesu buna kámuyuka bwabuna, wázimbula: «Kima kimosi hika kikukondi; tekisa byosu bina wena byawu, kabisabya kwena baphutu amana watámbula kimvwama mu mazilu. Kunima, nzawisa ndanda.»
BSB
BSB:
On hearing this, Jesus told him,
“You still lack one thing: Sell everything you own and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come, follow Me.”
23
YAF
Kaasi buna káyuka bwabuna, wekina mu kiwayi kya lawu, mukuma mvwama wambuta kákala.
BSB
BSB:
But when the ruler heard this, he became very sad, because he was extremely wealthy.
24
YAF
Yesu buna kámumona bwabuna mu kiwayi, wázimbula: «Phasi bwena kwena bana benina yi kimvwama mu kukota mu Kipfumu kya Nzambi.
BSB
BSB:
Seeing the man’s sadness, Jesus said,
“How hard it is for the rich to enter the kingdom of God!
25
YAF
Mukuma bweku phasi kwena Kamela mu kulobuka ha hundu dya ndongu, kuluta mvwama mu kukota mu Kipfumu kya Nzambi.»
BSB
BSB:
Indeed, it is easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God.”
26
YAF
Bana bakala muyuka bázimbula: «Amana nati wufwani kahuluka?»
BSB
BSB:
Those who heard this asked, “Who then can be saved?”
27
YAF
Yesu wávutula: «Mambu mana maléndakanaku kwena batu, maléndakana kwena Nzambi.»
BSB
BSB:
But Jesus said,
“What is impossible with man is possible with God.”
28
YAF
Phetelu wázimbula: «Talandi, betu twásisa bima byákala bya betu, mu kukulanda ngeyi.»
BSB
BSB:
“Look,” said Peter, “we have left all we had to follow You.”
29
YAF
Yesu wábazimbwala: «Mu kyedika yiluzimbwadibwa, heku mutu wásisa, kikuma kya Kipfumu kya Nzambi, nzu yi mukhetu yi baphangi, yi tata yi ngudi wandi, holo bana,
BSB
BSB:
“Truly I tell you,”
Jesus replied,
“no one who has left home or wife or brothers or parents or children for the sake of the kingdom of God
30
YAF
kakonda tambula, bya lawu kuluta mu tangwa dyadi yi muna tsi yina yisi kwisa, luzingu lwakonda tsuka.»
BSB
BSB:
will fail to receive many times more in this age—and in the age to come, eternal life.”
31
YAF
Yesu wábonga bawu Kumi yi bodi amana wábazimbwala bwabu «Tubati tombuka ku Yelusalemi. Mambu moosu mana másonama mu nzila ya bambikudi kikuma kya Mwana wa mutu, malúngila.
BSB
BSB:
Then Jesus took the Twelve aside and said to them,
“Look, we are going up to Jerusalem, and everything the prophets have written about the Son of Man will be fulfilled.
32
YAF
Mukuma bamúlambula ku moku ma baphani, bamúseya, bamútukwana, bamúlokwala metya.
BSB
BSB:
He will be delivered over to the Gentiles and will be mocked and insulted and spit upon.
33
YAF
Bamúzyatula, kunima bamúhonda. Amana kilumbu kya tatu, kafútumuka.»
BSB
BSB:
They will flog Him and kill Him, and on the third day He will rise again.”
34
YAF
Kaasi bawu bábakisaku keti kima mu moosu mana; thendula ya ndinga yina yabákadila yakufidinga, bázayaku keti biki bwazola kuzonza.
BSB
BSB:
But the disciples did not understand any of these things. The meaning was hidden from them, and they did not comprehend what He was saying.
35
YAF
Bwosu kakala phusana bela-bela yi Yediko, phofu mosi kakala wasikuka kuna kabeta ka nzila yi kulombaka.
BSB
BSB:
As Jesus drew near to Jericho, a blind man was sitting beside the road, begging.
36
YAF
Wáyuka mulumba-lumba wa batu wákala hyoka amana wáhyula keti biki byabina.
BSB
BSB:
When he heard the crowd going by, he asked what was happening.
37
YAF
Bámuvutwala: «Yesu mwisi Nazaleti wubati luta.»
BSB
BSB:
“Jesus of Nazareth is passing by,” they told him.
38
YAF
Kahanga wukalungi: «Yesu, Mwana Tavidi, ngyukila kyadi!»
BSB
BSB:
So he called out, “Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me!”
39
YAF
Bana bákala ku thwala, báyandika kumukaya ndangu kadibata. Kaasi wákalunga hika ngolu: «Mwana wa Tavidi ngyukila kyadi!»
BSB
BSB:
Those who led the way admonished him to be silent, but he cried out all the louder, “Son of David, have mercy on me!”
40
YAF
Yesu wátelama, amana wásenda ni bamunatina yandi. Tangwa kábwesuka, Yesu wámuhyula:
BSB
BSB:
Jesus stopped and directed that the man be brought to Him. When he had come near, Jesus asked him,
41
YAF
«Biki wuzodi yihanga kikuma kya ngeyi?» Yandi wávutula: «Pfumu, nzodi yimona hika.»
BSB
BSB:
“What do you want Me to do for you?”
“Lord,” he said, “let me see again.”
42
YAF
Hanga Yesu wumuzimbwadi: «Mona hika. Lukwikilu lwaku lukuhuludini.»
BSB
BSB:
“Receive your sight!”
Jesus replied.
“Your faith has healed you.”
43
YAF
Muna tangwa meni dina, wáyandika kumona amana wámulanda mu kuzatula Nzambi. Batu boosu, mu kumona bwabuna, báyandika mu kukumisa Nzambi.
BSB
BSB:
Immediately he received his sight and followed Jesus, glorifying God. And all the people, when they saw it, gave praise to God.
