Luke 12 (YOM) · Opened

1Muna thangu yina, nkangu wu batu wuwombo-wombo wukutakana, babandiatasana bawu na bawu mu malu. Buna Yesu wutona kamba theti minlonguki miandi : —Lulubukila luvi lu Bafalisi. Mayuya mawu luawu luvi beni.In the meantime, a crowd of many thousands had gathered, so that they were trampling one another. Jesus began to speak first to His disciples: “Beware of the leaven of the Pharisees, which is hypocrisy.

2Bila kuisi ko diambu disuama diela kambu zabukusu voti kuisi ko matsueki mela kambu zabakana.There is nothing concealed that will not be disclosed, and nothing hidden that will not be made known.

3Diawu mambu moso luyolukila mu tombi mela wakakana ku kiezila ayi momo luyolukila va dikutu, mu bivinga, mela yamukusu ku mbata muangu.What you have spoken in the dark will be heard in the daylight, and what you have whispered in the inner rooms will be proclaimed from the housetops.

4Ndikulukamba, beno bakundi bama, lubika mona tsisi bobo balenda vonda nitu bila bawu vonga bobo balendi buela vanga diambu dinkaka ko.I tell you, My friends, do not be afraid of those who kill the body and after that can do no more.

5Vayi ndieka kulumonisa bobo lufueti mona tsisi : Lutina mutu wowo beki lulendo lu lozila ku bulungi bu kameni vonda. Bukiedikandikulukamba, niandi mutu lufueti mona tsisi.But I will show you whom you should fear: Fear the One who, after you have been killed, has authority to throw you into hell. Yes, I tell you, fear Him!

6Basumbisanga ko zitsiodila zitanu mu zimbongo zizole zi bisengo e ? Vayi Nzambi kasi zimbakana ko kadi yimosi mu zizioso.Are not five sparrows sold for two pennies? Yet not one of them is forgotten by God.

7Ayi zitsuki zi mintu mieno zidi zitangu. Lubika mona tsisibila lulutidi nkangu wu zitsiodila mu luvalu.And even the very hairs of your head are all numbered. So do not be afraid; you are worth more than many sparrows.

8Bukiedika ndikulukamba ti woso mutu wela kuntelimina kimbangi vameso ma batu, muana mutu mamvandi wela kuntelimina kimbangi va meso ma zimbasi zi Nzambi.I tell you, everyone who confesses Me before men, the Son of Man will also confess him before the angels of God.

9Vayi woso mutu wela kuthunuka va meso ma batu, mamvama ndielakuntunuka va meso ma zimbasi zi Nzambi.But whoever denies Me before men will be denied before the angels of God.

10Woso mutu wela yolukila mambimbi mu diambu di Muana mutu wela lemvukulu vayi woso mutu wela finga Mpeve yinlongo kalendi lemvukulu ko.And everyone who speaks a word against the Son of Man will be forgiven, but whoever blasphemes against the Holy Spirit will not be forgiven.

11Mu thangu bela kulunata va ntuala zinzo zi lukutukunu, va ntualamazuzi ayi va ntuala bapfumu, lubika ba mayindu mu zaba buevi luelakukitabila ayi diambu mbi luela vutula ayi buevi lueta yolukila.When you are brought before synagogues, rulers, and authorities, do not worry about how to defend yourselves or what to say.

12Bila Mpeve yinlongo wela kuluvana mambu momo luela tuba mu thangu yina kaka.For at that time the Holy Spirit will teach you what you should say.”

13Mutu wumosi wuba muna nkangu, wukamba Yesu : —A nlongi, khambila khombꞌama tukabana yandi kiuka.Someone in the crowd said to Him, “Teacher, tell my brother to divide the inheritance with me.”

14Vayi Yesu wumvutudila : —A Nkundi ama, nani wumbiekidi zuzi dieno voti nkabudi wu kiuka kieno e ?But Jesus replied, “Man, who appointed Me judge or executor between you?”

15Bosi wuba kamba : —Lulubuka luedi ba tsuina yi phila yina bila luzingu lu mutu luisi ko mu tezo ki bima biandi.And He said to them, “Watch out! Guard yourselves against every form of greed, for one’s life does not consist in the abundance of his possessions.”

16Buna wuba kamba nongo yayi : —Zitsola zi mutu wumosi wu busina zibutu ngolo.Then He told them a parable: “The ground of a certain rich man produced an abundance.

17Buna mutu beni wuyindula mu ntimꞌandi ti : “Mbi mfueti vanga ? Bila ndisi ko bibuangu biobi mfueti lundila mbongo ama !So he thought to himself, ‘What shall I do, since I have nowhere to store my crops?’

18Buna wukamba, tala diambu diodi ndieka vanga : Ndieka tiolumuna bilundulu biama ayi ndieka tunga bilutidi tola. Muawu ndiela lundila mbongoꞌama yoso ayi bima biama.Then he said, ‘This is what I will do: I will tear down my barns and will build bigger ones, and there I will store up all my grain and my goods.

19Buna ndiela kamba muelꞌama : A muelꞌama : bima biwombo bieka yaku mutezo ki mimvu miwombo. Vunda kuaku, dia, nua ayi mona khini.”Then I will say to myself, “You have plenty of good things laid up for many years. Take it easy. Eat, drink, and be merry!”’

20Vayi Nzambi wunkamba : “vungisi ! Builu buabu kuandi maba lomba muelꞌaku ! Buna bima bioso biobi wukubikidi biela ba bi nani e ?”But God said to him, ‘You fool! This very night your life will be required of you. Then who will own what you have accumulated?’

21Buawu bobo buididi mutu wunyidikanga busina mu diambu di niandiveka ; vayi kasi sina ko mu mambu ma Nzambi.This is how it will be for anyone who stores up treasure for himself but is not rich toward God.”

22Yesu wukamba minlonguki miandi : —Diawu ndikulukambila ; lubika bela luzingu mayindu mu diambu di biobi luela dia ; lubika bela nitu mayindu mu diambu di biobi luela vuata.Then Jesus said to His disciples, “Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat, or about your body, what you will wear.

23Luzingu luviatukidi bidia ayi nitu yi vuatukidi minledi.For life is more than food, and the body more than clothes.

24Lutala zinuni ziozi beti tedilanga “minganga”, zikunanga ko ayi zitotanga bidia ko ; zisi ko kadi nzo voti lundulu vayi Nzambi wukuzidikila. Keti beno luvalu luidi viokila zinuni.Consider the ravens: They do not sow or reap, they have no storehouse or barn; yet God feeds them. How much more valuable you are than the birds!

25Nani mu beno, mu diambu di mayindu mandi, lenda buela yika luzingu luandi ntela e ?Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to his life?

26Enati luisi ko kadi lulendo mu mambu mama mafioti, buna bila mbi luididi mayindu mu diambu di momo mankaka e ?So if you cannot do such a small thing, why do you worry about the rest?

27Lutala biteka ; buevi bieti kudilanga, bisalanga ko, bitungangako vayi ndikulukamba, banza Salomo munkembo andi woso kasia vuata banga kiteka kimosi ko mu biteka biobi.Consider how the lilies grow: They do not labor or spin. Yet I tell you, not even Solomon in all his glory was adorned like one of these.

28Enati Nzambi wuvuatisa kunusu kidi buabu ku tsola vayi mbazi ki lozolo ku mbazu. Buna buevi kela luta kuluvuatisila beno batu ba minu kifioti e ?If that is how God clothes the grass of the field, which is here today and tomorrow is thrown into the furnace, how much more will He clothe you, O you of little faith!

29Lubika banga mayindu mu diambu di tomba biobi luela dia ayi luela nua e ? Lubika kukiyamisa mu mambu momo.And do not be concerned about what you will eat or drink. Do not worry about it.

30Bila Bapakanu ba ntoto bawu bantombanga mambu moso momo. Vayi Dise dieno zebi ti mfunu luvuidi bima biobi.For the Gentiles of the world strive after all these things, and your Father knows that you need them.

31Vayi lutomba kipfumu kiandi buna bima bioso biobi bela kulubuedila biawu.But seek His kingdom, and these things will be added unto you.

32Bika mona tsisi, ngeyo nkangu wu mameme ! Bila Dise dieno dimuenikhini mu kuluvana kipfumu.Do not be afraid, little flock, for your Father is pleased to give you the kingdom.

33—Sumbisanu bima biobi bidi yenu ayi lukabudila minsukami. Bika lukikubikila ziphotomoni ziozi kazi fuanganga ko ayi lukikubikila kiuka, mu diyilu, kioki kakilendi suka ko, bila kuna muivi kalendi kukiyiba ko ayi zitselele zilendi bunga ko.Sell your possessions and give to the poor. Provide yourselves with purses that will not wear out, an inexhaustible treasure in heaven, where no thief approaches and no moth destroys.

34Bila koso kiudi kiuka kiaku kuna kuidi ntimꞌaku.For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.

35—Luba bakubama mu kisalu ayi bika minda mienu milema.Be dressed for service and keep your lamps burning.

36Banu banga bisadi bimvingila pfumu awu mu yoso thangu bu kayendaku nyengo wu makuela, mu diambu bu kela vutuka ayi kela kokuta, bisadi biandi biela kunzibudila.Then you will be like servants waiting for their master to return from the wedding banquet, so that when he comes and knocks, they can open the door for him at once.

37Khini kuidi bisadi biobi Pfumu awu bu kela vutuka, wela kuiza bata badi bakubama. Bukiedika ndikulukamba, niandi wela vuata minledi mi kisaluayi wela vuandisa bisadi biandi va meza wela fikama ayi wela kuba tudila bidia.Blessed are those servants whom the master finds on watch when he returns. Truly I tell you, he will dress himself to serve and will have them recline at the table, and he himself will come and wait on them.

38Kiza va midi mi phipa voti va nkielo wu buisi, wukuiza babati buna badi bakubama, buna khini kuidi bisadi bina.Even if he comes in the second or third watch of the night and finds them alert, those servants will be blessed.

39Vayi luzaba kueno ti enati pfumu yi nzo zebi thangu mbi muivikankuizila, nganu wuleka nkielo ayi kasia tala ko bayiba nzo andi.But understand this: If the homeowner had known at what hour the thief was coming, he would not have let his house be broken into.

40Beno mamveno, banganu bakubama bila mu thangu yoyi lunkambubela mayindu yawu yinkuizila muana mutu.You also must be ready, because the Son of Man will come at an hour you do not expect.”

41Piela wunyuvula : —A Pfumu, tubidi nongo yoyo mu diambu di beto kaka voti mu diambu di batu boso e ?“Lord,” said Peter, “are You addressing this parable to us, or to everyone else as well?”

42Pfumu wuvutula : —Buna nani kisadi kikuikama ayi ki diela kioki Pfumu kavana minsua mu yadila bisadi binkaka bi nzo andi mu kuba vananga kuku kiawuki ble mu thangu yifuana e ?And the Lord answered, “Who then is the faithful and wise manager, whom the master puts in charge of his servants to give them their portion at the proper time?

43Khini kuidi kisadi kioki, pfumu andi bu kela vutuka, wela buanu wunsala, boso bu kantumina.Blessed is that servant whose master finds him doing so when he returns.

44Bukiedika ndikulukamba pfumu andi wela kumvana minsua mu yadilabima biandi bioso.Truly I tell you, he will put him in charge of all his possessions.

45Vayi enati kisadi beni yindudi mu ntimꞌandi ti : “Pfumu amakakadi vika vutuka” ayi tonini yamisa bisadi bi babakala ayi bi bakieto, tonini dia, nua ayi kolu,But suppose that servant says in his heart, ‘My master will be a long time in coming,’ and he begins to beat the menservants and maidservants, and to eat and drink and get drunk.

46pfumu yi kisadi kina wela kuiza, mu lumbu kioki kela kambu bela mayindu ayi mu thangu yoyi kakambulu zaba. Buna pfumu andi wela kunloza ayi wela kumvana thumbudulu yi ngolo va kimosi ayi bakambulu bakuikama.The master of that servant will come on a day he does not expect and at an hour he does not anticipate. Then he will cut him to pieces and assign him a place with the unbelievers.

47Kisadi kioki kizaba luzolo lu Pfumu andi vayi kasia kubama ko ayi kasia vanga ko boso buididi luzolo lu pfumu andi, wela zububikoti biwombo.That servant who knows his master’s will but does not get ready or follow his instructions will be beaten with many blows.

48Vayi kisadi kioki kikambu zaba luzolo lu Pfumu andi ayi vengi mambu makalenda zubulu bikoti, wela zubu bikoti bifioti. Bila bela tomba biwombo kuidi mutu wowo bavana biwombo, ayi kuidimutu wowo bayekudila biwombo bela tombulu biwombo.But the one who unknowingly does things worthy of punishment will be beaten with few blows. From everyone who has been given much, much will be required; and from him who has been entrusted with much, even more will be demanded.

49—Mbazu ndiyizidi loza va ntoto ayi diambu mbi nzodidi enatimbazu beni yikikuikulu ?I have come to ignite a fire on the earth, and how I wish it were already kindled!

50Vayi vadi mbotokolo yimfueti botama ayi ndikidi ku tsi mayindu nate yela vangama.But I have a baptism to undergo, and how distressed I am until it is accomplished!

51—Beno lumbanzila ti minu ndembama ndineti vava ntoto e ? Nana vayi khabunu.Do you think that I have come to bring peace to the earth? No, I tell you, but division.

52Bila tona buabi, enati batu batanu badi mu nzo, bela ba bavasana : batatu bela ba ku ndambu yimosi bosi babuadi bela ba ku ndambu yinkaka.From now on, five in one household will be divided, three against two and two against three.

53Dise diela fuemina muana wubakala ayi muana wubakala welafuemina Dise. Ngudi wela fuemina muana wunketo ayi muana wunketo wela fuemina ngudi. Nzitu wunketo wela fuemina nketo wu muanꞌandi ayinketo wu muana wela fuemina nzitu andi wunketo.They will be divided, father against son and son against father, mother against daughter and daughter against mother, mother-in-law against daughter-in-law and daughter-in-law against mother-in-law.”

54Bosi Yesu wubuela kamba nkangu wu batu : —Bu lueti monanga dituti ku ndambu wesite, buna lueti tuba : “mvula ma yinoka”, buna bobo bueta bela.Then Jesus said to the crowds, “As soon as you see a cloud rising in the west, you say, ‘A shower is coming,’ and that is what happens.

55Bu lueti monanga phemo wu sude weka vevumuka, buna luetituba : “muini mawu ba wu ngolo” ; buna bobo bueta bela.And when the south wind blows, you say, ‘It will be hot,’ and it is.

56Bankua mayuya ! Luzebi bakula bidimbu bi ntoto ayi bi diyilubuna buevi lunkambu bakudilanga thangu yayi e ?You hypocrites! You know how to interpret the appearance of the earth and sky. Why don’t you know how to interpret the present time?

57—Bila mbi lunkambu sudikilanga, mu beno veka, mambu masonga e ?And why don’t you judge for yourselves what is right?

58Diawu bu lulembu yendi ku tilibinadu ayi mutu wowo wufundidibuna nuana mu dedikisa mambu beni bu lukidi mu nzila. Bila nganu wela ku funda kuidi zuzi ayi niandi wela kuyekula mu mioko mi masodi ayi mawu mela kukotisa mu nloko.Make every effort to reconcile with your adversary while you are on your way to the magistrate. Otherwise, he may drag you off to the judge, and the judge may hand you over to the officer, and the officer may throw you into prison.

59Muaki bukiedika ndikukamba wulendi totuka muna ko nate wela futazimbongo zioso zi tsuka.I tell you, you will not get out until you have paid the very last penny.”
