Luke 11 (YOM) · Opened

1Bu kaba sambila va buangu kimso ; bu kamanisa, nlonguki andi wumosi wuyiza ayi wunyuvula : —A Pfumu, wutulongisa sambila banga Yowani bu kalongisila minlonguki miandi.One day in a place where Jesus had just finished praying, one of His disciples requested, “Lord, teach us to pray, just as John taught his disciples.”

2Buna wuba vutudila : —Mu thangu lunsambila, lutubanga : Tata, Bika dizina diaku diba dinlongo Bika Kipfumu kiaku kizaSo Jesus told them, “When you pray, say: ‘Father, hallowed be Your name. Your kingdom come.

3Wutuvana, kadika lumbu, bidia bioni bifueniGive us each day our daily bread.

4Wutulemvukila masumu meto bila beto mamveto tueti lemvukila bobo bakutu vangilanga mambimbi ayi kadi kutubika tubua mu phukumunu.And forgive us our sins, for we also forgive everyone who sins against us. And lead us not into temptation.’”

5Buna wubuela diaka : —Zimbukila mutu wumosi mu beno widi ayi nkundi andi, ayi wedi va khatitsika builu mu kunkamba : “A nkundi ama, ndevisa mapha matatuThen Jesus said to them, “Suppose one of you goes to his friend at midnight and says, ‘Friend, lend me three loaves of bread,

6bila nkundi ama wumosi meba mu nzietolo weka yama kuna nzo vayi ndisi ko kadi kima ki kunyakudila.”because a friend of mine has come to me on a journey, and I have nothing to set before him.’

7Vayi mutu wowo widi mu khati nzo maka mvutudila : “Bila kundiamisa, muelo wukangiminingi ayi bana bama ayi minu veka tukilekidingi ; diawu ndilendi kotuka ko mu diambu ndivana mawu.”And suppose the one inside answers, ‘Do not bother me. My door is already shut, and my children and I are in bed. I cannot get up to give you anything.’

8Bukiedika ndikulukamba, kadiambu ko kalendi kotuka ko mu diambu di kumvana mawu bila kadi nkundi andi vayi wela kotuka bila mutu wunawulembu nyamisa, buna wela kumvana bibioso, boso buididi mfunu andi.I tell you, even though he will not get up to provide for him because of his friendship, yet because of the man’s persistence, he will get up and give him as much as he needs.

9—Diawu ndikulukambila ti : lulomba ayi luela tambula ; lutomba ayi luela bakula ; lukokuta ayi luela zibudulu.So I tell you: Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and the door will be opened to you.

10Bila woso wunlombanga niandi wuntambulanga ; woso wuntombanga niandi wumbakulanga ayi woso wunkokutanga niandi wunzibudulungu.For everyone who asks receives; he who seeks finds; and to him who knocks, the door will be opened.

11Nani mu beno, madise, lenda vana muanꞌandi nioka bu kanlombidi mbizi yi nlangu e ?What father among you, if his son asks for a fish, will give him a snake instead?

12Voti kumvana khutu niandi bu kanlombidi diki e ?Or if he asks for an egg, will give him a scorpion?

13Buna enati beno batu bambimbi luzebi vana bana beno bima bimbotebuna dise dieno didi ku diyilu wela luta vana Mpeve yinlongo kuidi bobobakunlombanga yawu.So if you who are evil know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father in heaven give the Holy Spirit to those who ask Him!”

14Buna wutotula mpeve yimbimbi yi dibaba. Mpeve yimbimbi bu yitotuka, dibaba dieka yoluka ayi nkangu wu batu wusimina.One day Jesus was driving out a demon that was mute. And when the demon was gone, the man who had been mute spoke. The crowds were amazed,

15Vayi ndambu yi batu mu bawu batuba : —Keti mu lulendo lu Belezebuli, pfumu yi ziphevi zimbimbi, kalembo totudila ziphevi zimbimbi.but some of them said, “It is by Beelzebul, the prince of the demons, that He drives out demons.”

16Bankaka mu kumfiela banlomba dimbu kintotukila ku diyilu.And others tested Him by demanding a sign from heaven.

17Vayi kazaba mayindu mawu, buna wuba kamba : —Kipfumu kioso kivasukidi kiawu veka kifueti muangana ayi nzo yivasukidi yawu veka yifueti bua.Knowing their thoughts, Jesus said to them, “Every kingdom divided against itself will be laid waste, and a house divided against a house will fall.

18Enati satana vasukidi niandi veka, buna buevi kipfumu kiandikilenda zingila e ? Bila beno lulembo tubi ti mu lulendo lu Belezebuli ndilembo totudila ziphevi zimbimbi.If Satan is divided against himself, how can his kingdom stand? After all, you say that I drive out demons by Beelzebul.

19Enati bukiedika ti mu lulendo lu Belezebuli ndilembo totudila ziphevi zimbimbi, buna nani wuvana bana beno lulendo lutotudila ziawu e ? Diawu bela ba mazuzi meno.And if I drive out demons by Beelzebul, by whom do your sons drive them out? So then, they will be your judges.

20Vayi enati mu lulendo lu Nzambi ndilembu totudila ziphevi zimbimbibuna luzaba ti kipfumu ki Nzambi kieka vadi beno.But if I drive out demons by the finger of God, then the kingdom of God has come upon you.

21Mutu widi ngolu ayi widi binduanina bifuana bu kalembu sungi nzoꞌandi buna bima biandi bidi mu ndembama.When a strong man, fully armed, guards his house, his possessions are secure.

22Vayi enati vatotukidi mutu wunlutidi ngolu ayi wunnungini buna ma kanziona binduanina biandi bioso bi kabedi tudilanga diana, ma kanziona bima biandi bioso ayi ma kakabula biawu.But when someone stronger attacks and overpowers him, he takes away the armor in which the man trusted, and then he divides up his plunder.

23Woso kambulu ku ndambu ama buna mbeni ama, ayi woso wunkamba kupika yama buna niandi lembu sasikisa.He who is not with Me is against Me, and he who does not gather with Me scatters.

24—Mu thangu mpeve yimbimbi yitotukidi mu mutu, buna yindiengilangamu bibuangu biyuma mu tomba luvundulu vayi enati yikadi baka buangu, buna yintubanga : “Bika ndivutuka mu nzoꞌama yoyi nditotukila.”When an unclean spirit comes out of a man, it passes through arid places seeking rest and does not find it. Then it says, ‘I will return to the house I left.’

25Bu yivutukidi buna yimbabanga nzoꞌandi yinkombulu ayi yikubulu bumboti.On its return, it finds the house swept clean and put in order.

26Bosi yimvutukanga ayi yimbonganga tsambudi di ziphevi zinkaka, zimviatukidi nganzi. Bu zikotidi buna zinkalanga muna. Buna khadulu yi zimunina yi mutu wowo yilutidi biva ayi yina yithete.Then it goes and brings seven other spirits more wicked than itself, and they go in and dwell there. And the final plight of that man is worse than the first.”

27Muthangu kaba tuba bobo, nketo wumosi wuba muna nkangu wuyamikina : —Khini kuidi nketo wubuta ayi wuyemika.As Jesus was saying these things, a woman in the crowd raised her voice and said, “Blessed is the womb that bore You, and blessed are the breasts that nursed You!”

28Vayi Yesu wumvutudila : —Khini kuidi bobo beti wanga ayi beti tumukinanga mambu ma Nzambi.But He replied, “Blessed rather are those who hear the word of God and obey it.”

29Nkangu wu batu bu wukutakana, buna wutuba : —Tsungi yayi yidi tsungi yimbimbi yilembo tombi dimbu. Dimbu … Yilendi tambula dimbu dinkaka ko boyula kaka ko botula kakakioki ki Zonasi.As the crowds were increasing, Jesus said, “This is a wicked generation. It demands a sign, but none will be given it except the sign of Jonah.

30Bila banga bubela Zonasi dimbu kuidi basi Ninive, buawu bobo Muana Mutu kela bela dimbu kuidi batu ba tsungi yayi.For as Jonah was a sign to the Ninevites, so the Son of Man will be a sign to this generation.

31Mu lumbu ki tsambusu, ntinu wu nketo wu Sude wela telama va kimosiayi batu ba tsungi yayi ayi wela bazengila nkanu. Bila niandi wubaku tsongi ntoto mu diambu di kuiza wa malongi ma diela ma Salomo. Muaki tala mutu widi vava viatukidi Salomo.The Queen of the South will rise at the judgment with the men of this generation and condemn them; for she came from the ends of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon, and now One greater than Solomon is here.

32Mu lumbu ki tsambusu basi Ninive bela telama va kimosi ayi batu ba tsungi yayi ayi bela bazingila nkanu bila bawu babalula mavanga mawu bu bawa malongi ma Zonasi. Muaki vava vadi mutu wuviatukidi Zonasi.The men of Nineveh will stand at the judgment with this generation and condemn it; for they repented at the preaching of Jonah, and now One greater than Jonah is here.

33Kuisi ko mutu bu kameni lemisa muinda, wuntulanga wawu va buangu kisuama voti ku tsi katini. Vayi wuntulanga wawu va yilu meza mu diambu babo bankota mu nzo bamona kiezila kiandi.No one lights a lamp and puts it in a cellar or under a basket. Instead, he sets it on a stand, so those who enter can see the light.

34—Meso maku mawu muinda mu nitu aku. Mu thangu meso maku madi mamboti buna nitu aku yimvimba yidi mu kiezila. Vayi enati madi mambimbibuna nitu aku yimvimba yidi mu tombi.Your eye is the lamp of your body. When your eyes are good, your whole body also is full of light. But when they are bad, your body is full of darkness.

35Diawu lubuka mu diambu di kiezila kidi mu ngeyo kibika kituka tombi.Be careful, then, that the light within you is not darkness.

36Diawu enati nitu aku yimvimba yidi mu kiezila, mu kambu ndambu yi nitu mu tombi buna yela ba yikienzuka ngolo banga mu thangu muinda wukukienzulanga mu nlaki andi.So if your whole body is full of light, with no part of it in darkness, you will be radiant, as though a lamp were shining on you.”

37Bu kaba yoluka, Mfalisi wumosi wuntumisa mu dia ku nzoꞌandi. Bu kakota wuvuanda va meza.As Jesus was speaking, a Pharisee invited Him to dine with him; so He went in and reclined at the table.

38Mfalisi bu kamona bobo, wusimina bila Yesu kasi kisukula ko tuamina kadia.But the Pharisee was surprised to see that Jesus did not first wash before the meal.

39Buna Pfumu wunkamba : —Bena Bafalisi lunsukulanga bumboti va mbata yi kopo ayi yi dilonga vayi mu khati lufulukidi ayi mayindu ma buivi ayi mambimbi.Then the Lord said, “Now you Pharisees clean the outside of the cup and dish, but inside you are full of greed and wickedness.

40Beno luidi bivulu ! Mutu wowo wuvanga va mbata kasia vanga ko mu khati e ?You fools! Did not the One who made the outside make the inside as well?

41Luvana bima biobi bidi yeno kuidi minsukami buna bosi bima bioso biela ba bivedila.But give as alms the things that are within you, and behold, everything will be clean for you.

42Vayi mabienga kuidi beno Bafalisi bila lumvananga kuku ki kumi ki mintindu mioso mi biti ayi ki “meti ayi li” vayi lunlenzanabusongaayi luzolo lu Nzambi. Nganu mawu mama mambu lufueti vanganga ayi kadi zimbaka mana.Woe to you Pharisees! For you pay tithes of mint, rue, and every herb, but you disregard justice and the love of God. You should have practiced the latter without neglecting the former.

43Mabienga kuidi beno Bafalisi bila lunzolanga vuanda mu bibuangubinzitusu mu zinzo zi zikhutukunu ; lunzolanga baluvaninanga mbotimu bibuangu bi batu bawombo.Woe to you Pharisees! For you love the chief seats in the synagogues and the greetings in the marketplaces.

44Mabienga kuidi beno ! Ludedikini banga mabumbi mankumbu monika ; batu balembu madiatidila mu kambu zaba.Woe to you! For you are like unmarked graves, which men walk over without even noticing.”

45Vana vawu nlongi wumosi wu mina wuyuvula Yesu ti : —Nlongi, bu wulembu tubi mambu momo buna beto kuandi wulembo fingi.One of the experts in the law told Him, “Teacher, when You say these things, You insult us as well.”

46Buna Yesu wumvutudila ti : —Mabienga ayi kuidi beno minlongi mi mina bila lueta kuika batu bizitu bidi zitu mu nata vayi beno veka kadi nlembo eno wumosi wusimbanga ko bizitu beni.“Woe to you as well, experts in the law!” He replied. “For you weigh men down with heavy burdens, but you yourselves will not lift a finger to lighten their load.

47Mabienga kuidi beno bila lueta tunga mabumbi ma mimbikudi ayi bakulu beno baba vonda.Woe to you! For you build tombs for the prophets, but it was your fathers who killed them.

48Lueta telimina mavanga ma bakulu beno kimbangi ayi lueti monangakhini. Bila bawu baba vonda vayi beno luntunganga mabumbi mawu.So you are witnesses consenting to the deeds of your fathers: They killed the prophets, and you build their tombs.

49Diawu nzayilu yi Nzambi yitubila ti : “Ndiela kuba fidisila mimbikudi ayi bamvuala, bela vondabankaka ayi bela yamisa bankaka.”Because of this, the wisdom of God said, ‘I will send them prophets and apostles; some of them they will kill and others they will persecute.’

50Muingi menga ma mimbikudi mioso matengulu tona va vangimina ntoto mela tombulu va tsungi yayiAs a result, this generation will be charged with the blood of all the prophets that has been shed since the foundation of the world,

51tona mu menga ma Abeli nate mu menga ma Zakali, mutu wowo bavondila va khatitsika diziku dinyokulungu makaba ayi nzo Nzambi. Bukiedika ndikulukamba mambu moso momo mela builu batu ba tsungi yayi.from the blood of Abel to the blood of Zechariah, who was killed between the altar and the sanctuary. Yes, I tell you, all of it will be charged to this generation.

52Mabienga kuidi beno minlongi mi Mina, beno luziona tsabi yinzayilu. Kadi sia ti beno veka lu kotanga ko vayi lunkandikanga bobo bazola kota.Woe to you experts in the law! For you have taken away the key to knowledge. You yourselves have not entered, and you have hindered those who were entering.”

53Bu kabotuka vana, minsoniki ayi Bafalisi batona kumfietikisaayi banzonzisa mu mambu mawombo ;As Jesus went on from there, the scribes and Pharisees began to oppose Him bitterly and to ply Him with questions about many things,

54banlekila mintambu ; batomba diambu dilenda totukila mu munuꞌandi muingibabaka bila ki kumfundila.waiting to catch Him in something He might say.
