Luke 17 (YOM) · Opened

1Yesu wukamba minlonguki miandi : —Ziphukumunu zilendi kambu ko vayi mabienga kuidi woso wuntotukidilanga ziawu.Jesus said to His disciples, “It is inevitable that stumbling blocks will come, but woe to the one through whom they come!

2Bulutidi mboti bankanga ditadi diodi bannikinanga makundi mu tsingu, ku nloza mu mbu ayi mu diambu kabika vodisa, wumosi mu banababa, masumu.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.

3Diawu lulubuka ! —Enati khombꞌaku vodidi masumu, buna bika wuntubidila. Ayi enati baludimavanga buna bika wunlemvukila.Watch yourselves. If your brother sins, rebuke him; and if he repents, forgive him.

4Ayi buba kuandi ti tsambudi di zikhumbu kavodidi masumu kuidi ngeyo mu lumbu kimosi, ayi tsambudi di zikhumbu kiza tubila ti : “mbaludi khadulu”. Buna bika wunlemvukila.Even if he sins against you seven times in a day, and seven times returns to say, ‘I repent,’ you must forgive him.”

5Mimvuala mikamba Pfumu Yesu : —Wutubuela minu.The apostles said to the Lord, “Increase our faith!”

6Buna Pfumu Yesu wuba vutudila : —Bukiedika ti minu kieno, ka diambu ko kidi banga buididi dikundi di mutalide, nganu lulenda tumina nti wuna ti : “Vuzuka ayi yenda kikuni mu mbu” buna muna yina thangu wufueti kulutumukina.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—Nani buna luidi widi ayi kisadi kiandi kinkunanga voti kinsunganga bibulu, kikunkambanga bu kabedi ku zitsola ti : “yiza nsualu ayi vuanda nsualu va meza ?”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’?

8Keti kafueti kunkamba theti ti : “ndambila bidia, vuata minledi mi kisalu ayi thudila bidia va meza nate ndimanisa dia ayi nua ; bosi ngeyo mamvaku wudia ayi wunua ?”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’?

9A Buevi pfumu kavueti vutudila kisadi kiandi matondo mu diambu kavengi bumboti momo katumunu e ? Nana !Does he thank the servant because he did what he was told?

10Buawu bobo kuidi beno mamveno. Bu luela mana vanga momo lutumunu buna bika luba tuba : “tuidi kaka bisadi bikambulu mfunu, tuvengi kaka momo tutumunu.”So you also, when you have done everything commanded of you, should say, ‘We are unworthy servants; we have only done our duty.’”

11Buna wulembo yendi ku Yelusalemi, Yesu wuviokila ku Samali ayi Ngalili.While Jesus was on His way to Jerusalem, He was passing between Samaria and Galilee.

12Buna weka va difula di buala bumosi, kuna dikumi di batu babelabuazi bandengana. Thama bateliminaAs He entered one of the villages, He was met by ten lepers. They stood at a distance

13ayi bayamikina mu mbembo yingolo ayi batuba : —A Pfumu Yesu, bika wutumona kiadi !and raised their voices, shouting, “Jesus, Master, have mercy on us!”

14Yesu bu kaba mona, buna wuba kamba : —Yendanu lukimonikisa kuidi banganga Nzambi. Mu thangu baba kuenda mu nzila, bazimbukila batumbulu vedila.When Jesus saw them, He said, “Go, show yourselves to the priests.” And as they were on their way, they were cleansed.

15Wumosi mu bawu bu kamona ti belukidi, wuvutuka, wukembisa Nzambi mu ndinga yingolo.When one of them saw that he was healed, he came back, praising God in a loud voice.

16Wufukama va malu ma Yesu, wuyinika zizi kiandi va tsi ayi wumvutudila matondo. Vayi mutu beni wuba muisi Samali.He fell facedown at Jesus’ feet in thanksgiving to Him—and he was a Samaritan.

17Buna Yesu wunyuvula : —Keti dikumi divedusulungu e ? A kuevi kuidi divua dinkaka ?“Were not all ten cleansed?” Jesus asked. “Where then are the other nine?

18Buna kadi mutu kasi yindula ko mu vutuka ayi vutudila Nzambi matondo botula kaka nzenza yayi e ?Was no one found except this foreigner to return and give glory to God?”

19Buna Yesu wunkamba : —Telama ayi yenda kuaku ; minu kiaku kibelusidi.Then Jesus said to him, “Rise and go; your faith has made you well!”

20Bafalisi bayuvula Yesu mu diambu di zaba kani lumbu mbi kiela kuiza Kipfumu ki Nzambi. Niandi wuba vutudila : —Kipfumu ki Nzambi bu kiela kuiza kilendi monu mu meso ko.When asked by the Pharisees when the kingdom of God would come, Jesus replied, “The kingdom of God will not come with observable signs.

21Ayi balendi tuba ko : “Tala, kidi kuaku” voti “tala kidi kuna” bila luzaba mboti ti Kipfumu ki Nzambi kidi va khatitsikꞌeno.Nor will people say, ‘Look, here it is,’ or ‘There it is.’ For you see, the kingdom of God is in your midst.”

22Bosi wukamba minlonguki : —Bilumbu biela kuiza biobi luela bela tsatu yi mona, banza lumbu kimosi ki muana mutu vayi lulendi kimona ko.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.

23—Buna bela kulukamba : “Tala Klisto widi kuaku” voti “tala widikuna”. Buna kadi ba kuenda ayi kadi ku balandakana.People will tell you, ‘Look, there He is!’ or ‘Look, here He is!’ Do not go out or chase after them.

24Bila banga lusiemo lueta totukila mu diyilu ayi lueta kienzudila tona tsongi yimosi nate tsongi yinkaka yi diyilu, buna buawu bobo buela bela muana mutu mu lumbu kiandi.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.

25Vayi kafueti tuama mona ziphasi ziwombo ayi kafueti tuama lozu kuidi batu ba tsungi yayi.But first He must suffer many things and be rejected by this generation.

26—Mambu momo maba mu thangu yi Nowa mawu mela buela ba mu bilumbu bi Muana Mutu.Just as it was in the days of Noah, so also will it be in the days of the Son of Man:

27Bila batu badia, banua, bakuelana, bakuedisa nate mu lumbu kioki Nowa kakota mu masuwa. Buna bosi nkuka yi nlangu yiyiza, ayi yimana ku babunga.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.

28Banga kuandi bubela mu bilumbu bi Loti : batu badia, banua, basumba, basumbisa, bakuna batungisa.It was the same in the days of Lot: People were eating and drinking, buying and selling, planting and building.

29Vayi mvula yi mbazu ayi yi sufele yinoka ayi yimana ku babungamu lumbu kioki Loti katotuka mu Sodoma.But on the day Lot left Sodom, fire and sulfur rained down from heaven and destroyed them all.

30Buawu bobo buela bela mu lumbu kioki Muana mutu kela monika.It will be just like that on the day the Son of Man is revealed.

31Mu lumbu kina, enati mutu widi ku yilu muanzu vayi widi ayi bima biandi mu nzo buna kabika kuluka muingi kenda bongi biawu ; bobuawu woso wela batakana ku zitsola kabika buela vutuka ku nzo andi.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.

32Bika lutebukila nketo wu Loti moyo.Remember Lot’s wife!

33Woso wela tomba vukisa luzingu luandi, wela luzimbisa vayi wosowela luzimbisa wela luvukisa.Whoever tries to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life will preserve it.

34Bukiedika ndikulukamba, muna builu buna, batu buadi bela lekamfulu yimosi, wumosi mu bawu wela botulu vayi wunkaka wela siala.I tell you, on that night two people will be in one bed: one will be taken and the other left.

35Baketo buadi bela tuta mfufu va kimosi, wumosi mu bawu wela botulu vayi wunkaka wela siala. [Two women will be grinding grain together: one will be taken and the other left.”

36Babakala buadi bela ba ku zitsola, wumosi mu bawu wela botuluvayi wunkaka wela siala.]Not in the BSB

37Buna minlonguki minyuvula : —A Pfumu, kuevi kuela viokila mambu momo e ? Niandi wuba vutudila : —Koso kuidi mvumbi, kuawu kuidi bibala.“Where, Lord?” they asked. Jesus answered, “Wherever there is a carcass, there the vultures will gather.”
