Luke 8 (YOM) · Opened

1Bosi Yesu wuyenda mu mavula ayi mu mala mu yamikisa ayi mu samuna Nsamu Wumboti wu Kipfumu ki Nzambi.Soon afterward, Jesus traveled from one town and village to another, preaching and proclaiming the good news of the kingdom of God. The Twelve were with Him,

2Kumi bamvuala buadi banlandakana va kimosi ayi ndambu baketo bobokabelusa bu bayamusu kuidi ziphevi zimbimbi ayi bobo kabelusa mu zimpasi. Baketo beni bawu baba : Maliya baba ntedilanga Maliya muisi Mangadala. Mu niandi katotula ziphevi tsambudi zimbimbi,as well as some women who had been healed of evil spirits and infirmities: Mary called Magdalene, from whom seven demons had gone out,

3Zana nketo Suza mutu wuba lundanga bima bi Elode, Suzani ayi bawombo bankaka baba kunsadisanga mu bima biawu.Joanna the wife of Herod’s household manager Chuza, Susanna, and many others. These women were ministering to them out of their own means.

4Nkangu wuwombo wu batu wuyiza kutakana. Batu beni batotukila mu mavula mavombo. Buna Yesu wuba samunia nongo yayi :While a large crowd was gathering and people were coming to Jesus from town after town, He told them this parable:

5—Nkuni wumosi wuyenda ku muanga mbongo andi. Mu thangu kaba muanga mbongo andi, ndambu yi zitheti yibua mu ndambu yi nzila. Batu badiatila ziawu ayi zinuni zidoda ziawu.“A farmer went out to sow his seed. And as he was sowing, some seed fell along the path, where it was trampled, and the birds of the air devoured it.

6Ndambu yinkaka yi zitheti yibua va matadi. Bu zimena, zivika yuma bilavasia ba mbozi ko.Some fell on rocky ground, and when it came up, the seedlings withered because they had no moisture.

7Zinkaka zibua va zitsendi. Zitsendi ziyunduka va kimosi ayi mintuidilavayi zitsendi zifietikisa miawu.Other seed fell among thorns, which grew up with it and choked the seedlings.

8Vayi zinkaka zibua va ntoto wumboti. Zimena ayi zibuta makundi. Kadika luteti lubuta khama yinkaka yi zitheti. Buna katuba mambu momo, wuyamikina : —Woso widi matu ma wila buna bika kawa.Still other seed fell on good soil, where it sprang up and produced a crop—a hundredfold.” As Jesus said this, He called out, “He who has ears to hear, let him hear.”

9Minlonguki miandi minyuvula tsundu yi nongo yoyi.Then His disciples asked Him what this parable meant.

10Buna wuba kamba : —Beno lutambula diluaku di zabila matsueki ma Kipfumu ki Nzambi vayi kuidi bankaka mambu mama mafueti yolokolo mu zinongo muingi ka diambu kobalembu tadi vayi bakadi mona ; ka diambu ko balembu wa vayi balendi sudika ko.He replied, “The knowledge of the mysteries of the kingdom of God has been given to you, but to others I speak in parables, so that, ‘though seeing, they may not see; though hearing, they may not understand.’

11—Luwa tsundu yi nongo yayi : mbongo yawu mambu ma NzambiNow this is the meaning of the parable: The seed is the word of God.

12Mu ndambu nzila yidi batu beti wanga mambu ma Nzambi vayi satana wunkuizanga ayi wunzionanga mawu mu mintima miawu mu diambu di kuba kandika babika wilukila muingi bedi vuka.The seeds along the path are those who hear, but the devil comes and takes away the word from their hearts, so that they may not believe and be saved.

13“Mbongo yibua va matadi” yidi batu beti wanga mambu ma Nzambiayi beti tambulanga mawu mu khini vayi basiko mianzi. Minu kiawu kizingilanga ko. Mu thangu yi thotolo bavika kukitabilanga.The seeds on rocky ground are those who hear the word and receive it with joy, but they have no root. They believe for a season, but in the time of testing, they fall away.

14“Mbongo yibua va zitsendi” yidi batu bobo bawa mambu ma Nzambi ayi bayenda kuawu. Vayi bafietukusu mu diambu di mayindu, bamvuama ayi makhini ma luzingu. Babutanga ko mimbutu milenda yela.The seeds that fell among the thorns are those who hear, but as they go on their way, they are choked by the worries, riches, and pleasures of this life, and their fruit does not mature.

15Bosi “mbongo yibua va ntoto wumbote” yidi batu bobo bawa mambuma Nzambi, balunda mawu mu ntima wukambulu mayuya ayi wumbote. Bawu bambutanga mimbutu bu bavibididi.But the seeds on good soil are those with a noble and good heart, who hear the word, cling to it, and by persevering produce a crop.

16—Mutu bu kalemisini muinda, kalendi kuwufukidila nzungu kovoti kuwutula ku tsi mbuka ; vayi va yilu meza kafueti wutula mu diambu di bobo bankota bamona kiezila.No one lights a lamp and covers it with a jar or puts it under a bed. Instead, he sets it on a stand, so those who enter can see the light.

17Bila mamo masuama mafueti ba va kiesila ; mamo masueku mafueti zabakana ayi totuka va nganda.For there is nothing hidden that will not be disclosed, and nothing concealed that will not be made known and brought to light.

18Diawu lulubuka mu mpila lulembu wila bila bela buela vana kuidi mutu wowo beki vayi kudi mutu wowo kambulu bela kunziona, ka diambu ko, biobi kambanza ti bidi yandi.Pay attention, therefore, to how you listen. Whoever has will be given more, but whoever does not have, even what he thinks he has will be taken away from him.”

19Ngudi yi Yesu ayi bakhomba bandi bayiza kuidi niandi vayi basianunga ko fikama va kaba mu diambu di nkangu wu batu.Then Jesus’ mother and brothers came to see Him, but they were unable to reach Him because of the crowd.

20Buna bankamba : —Ngudi aku ayi bakhomba ziaku badi ku nganda ayi batidi kumona.He was told, “Your mother and brothers are standing outside, wanting to see You.”

21Yesu wuba vutudila : —Bobo beti wanga mambu ma Nzambi ayi bansadilanga mawu bawu ngudiama ayi bakhomba ziama.But He replied, “My mother and brothers are those who hear the word of God and carry it out.”

22Lumbu kimosi Yesu wukuma mu nlungu va kimosi ayi minlongukimiandi, buna wuba kamba : —Bika tusabukanu ku disimu dinkaka di mbu. Buna batula ku ngingi nlangu.One day Jesus said to His disciples, “Let us cross to the other side of the lake.” So He got into a boat with them and set out.

23Bu baba vuila, Yesu wuleka tulu. Zimbukila vuka kimosi kingolo kitonamu mbu, nlangu wutona wala mu nlungu ayi mu ziphasi miba.As they sailed, He fell asleep, and a windstorm came down on the lake, so that the boat was being swamped, and they were in great danger.

24Minlonguki mifikama vaba Yesu, minkotula mu yamikina : —A nlongi, A nlongi tueka fua ! Wukotuka ayi wutemina vuka ayi mayo ma mbu. Buna biawu bilembama ayi ndembama yivutuka.The disciples went and woke Him, saying, “Master, Master, we are perishing!” Then Jesus got up and rebuked the wind and the raging waters, and they subsided, and all was calm.

25Buna wukamba minlonguki miandi : —A kuevi kuidi minu kieno e ? Vayi bawu bamona tsisi ayi basimina. Ayi bayuvasana bawu na bawu ti : —Buna nani niawu wuntumina vuka ayi nlangu, ayi biawu binkutumukina e ?“Where is your faith?” He asked. Frightened and amazed, they asked one another, “Who is this? He commands even the winds and the water, and they obey Him!”

26Batula mu zunga ki basi Ngalasa, kitalani ayi ngaliliThen they sailed to the region of the Gerasenes, across the lake from Galilee.

27Yesu bu kakuluka va disimu buna mutu wumosi muisi divula beniwuba ayi ziphevi zimbimbi tona thama wuyiza kundengana. Pheni nkua kaba kibanga ; kaba vuandanga ko mu nzo vayi ku biziami kaba vuandanga.When Jesus stepped ashore, He was met by a demon-possessed man from the town. For a long time this man had not worn clothing or lived in a house, but he stayed in the tombs.

28Bu kamona Yesu, wubua va ntualꞌandi ayi wutuba mu mbembo yi ngolo : —A diambu mbi tuidi betu yaku, ngeyo muana Nzambi yizangama e ? Wundemvukila, kadi kundiamisa.When the man saw Jesus, he cried out and fell down before Him, shouting in a loud voice, “What do You want with me, Jesus, Son of the Most High God? I beg You not to torture me!”

29Wutuba bobo mu diambu Yesu wutumina mpeve yimbimbi yitotuka mu mutu wowo. Bila tona thama, mpeve beni yimbila. Buna mutu beni baba kunkanganga ayi kunkebilanga mu zisieni ayi bisengo mu malu vayi wuba kubi tabunanga ayi mpeve yimbimbi yiba kunnatanga mu bibuangu bisuama.For Jesus had commanded the unclean spirit to come out of the man. Many times it had seized him, and though he was bound with chains and shackles, he had broken the chains and been driven by the demon into solitary places.

30Yesu wunyuvula : —Dizina diaku nani e ? Niandi wuvutula : —Lengio. Bila ziphevi ziwombo zimbimbi zikota mu mutu beni.“What is your name?” Jesus asked. “Legion,” he replied, because many demons had gone into him.

31Ziphevi zimbimbi beni zileba Yesu muingi kabika kuba tuma benda ku diyenga.And the demons kept begging Jesus not to order them to go into the Abyss.

32Nkangu wu zingulu wuba dia vana mbata mongo. Ziphevi zimbimbizileba Yesu muingi zikota mu zingulu beni. Buna wuba vana minsua.There on the hillside a large herd of pigs was feeding. So the demons begged Jesus to let them enter the pigs, and He gave them permission.

33Ziphevi zimbimbi zitotuka mu mutu ayi zikota mu zingulu. Muna yina thangu nkangu wu zingulu wunengumuka mu mongo nate ziyiza bua mu mbu. Buna zidiama.Then the demons came out of the man and went into the pigs, and the herd rushed down the steep bank into the lake and was drowned.

34Mu thangu minsungi mi zingulu mimona mambu momo mavioka, mitina ayi miyenda kamba mambu beni ku divula ayi mu zitsola.When those tending the pigs saw what had happened, they ran off and reported this in the town and countryside.

35Batu bayiza tala mambu momo mavioka. Bayiza vaba Yesu ayi bamona mutuwowo wutotulu ziphevi zimbimbi buna kavuendi va malu ma Yesu. Wuvuata minledi ayi diela diandi diduka. Buna bamona boma.So the people went out to see what had happened. They came to Jesus and found the man whom the demons had left, sitting at Jesus’ feet, clothed and in his right mind; and they were afraid.

36Batu bobo bamona mambu beni baba kamba buevi bu vukila mutu wowo wuyamusu kuidi ziphevi zimbimbi.Meanwhile, those who had seen it reported how the demon-possessed man had been healed.

37Vana vawu batu ba zunga ki Ngelasa bu bamona boma bu ngolobuna baleba Yesu kabotuka mu zunga kiawu. Niandi wukuma mu nlungu ayi wuvutuka.Then all the people of the region of the Gerasenes asked Jesus to depart from them, because great fear had taken hold of them. So He got into the boat and started back.

38Mutu wowo wukulu mu ziphevi zimbimbi wuleba Yesu muingi kanlandakanavayi Yesu wumvutula ayi wunkamba :The man whom the demons had left begged to go with Jesus. But He sent him away, saying,

39—Vutuka ku nzoꞌaku ayi samuna mambu moso Nzambi kavangidi. Buna mutu beni wuyenda, wuyemikisa, mu divula dioso, mambu Yesu kamvangila.“Return home and describe how much God has done for you.” So the man went away and proclaimed all over the town how much Jesus had done for him.

40Bu kavutuka, nkangu wu batu wuyakula Yesu bila batu boso baba kumvingila.When Jesus returned, the crowd welcomed Him, for they had all been waiting for Him.

41Tala mutu wumosi dizina diandi Yayilusi. Niandi wuba pfumu yi nzo yi lukutukunu, wuyiza ayi wubua va malu ma Yesu, wunleba mu diambu kiza ku nzo andiJust then a synagogue leader named Jairus came and fell at Jesus’ feet. He begged Him to come to his house,

42bila muanꞌandi wumosi kaka wunketo, wuba nduka-nduka kumi mimvu miodi wuba nduka mu fua. Bu kaba kuenda vayi nkangu wu batu wumfietikisa.because his only daughter, who was about twelve, was dying. As Jesus went with him, the crowds pressed around Him,

43Nketo wumosi wuba kimbevo kiviokanga menga ; kumi mimvu miodi kabedila kimbevo beni ayi wumana fukisa bima biandi bioso kuidi minganga. Vayi kadi munganga wumosi kasia nunga ko mu kumbelusa.including a woman who had suffered from bleeding for twelve years. She had spent all her money on physicians, but no one was able to heal her.

44Wufikama ku manima ma Yesu ayi wusimba tsongi nledi andi. Vana vawu menga makangama.She came up behind Jesus and touched the fringe of His cloak, and immediately her bleeding stopped.

45Buna Yesu wuyuvula : —Nani wutsimbidi. Baboso bamanga kuawu kikinina. Diawu Piela kankambila va kimosi ayi bobo baba yandi : A Nlongi, nkangu wu batu wuzungididi ayi wufietikisidi ku zindambu zioso.“Who touched Me?” Jesus asked. But they all denied it. “Master,” said Peter, “the people are crowding and pressing against You.”

46Vayi niandi wuvutula : —Mutu wumosi wutsimbidi bila nzebi ti lulendo lutotukidi mu munu.But Jesus declared, “Someone touched Me, for I know that power has gone out from Me.”

47Nketo beni bu kamona ti kalendi suama ko, buna, wuyiza ayi lunkuku, wufukama va malu ma Yesu. Wusudikisa va ntuala wu batu boso bila kiokikansimbila ayi buevi kabelukididi.Then the woman, seeing that she could not escape notice, came trembling and fell down before Him. In the presence of all the people, she explained why she had touched Him and how she had immediately been healed.

48Yesu wunkamba : —A muanꞌama wunketo, minu kiaku kivukisidi, yenda mu ndembama.“Daughter,” said Jesus, “your faith has healed you. Go in peace.”

49Buna kamanisini ko tuba, mutu wuba kuidi pfumu nzo yilukutukunu wuyiza ayi wunkamba : —Muanꞌaku wunketo fuidi, bika buela yamisa nlongi.While He was still speaking, someone arrived from the house of the synagogue leader. “Your daughter is dead,” he told Jairus. “Do not bother the Teacher anymore.”

50Yesu bu kawa bobo, wukamba Yayilusi ti : —Bika mona boma vayi wilukila kaka bila muanꞌaku wunketo wela beluka.But Jesus overheard them and said to Jairus, “Do not be afraid; just believe, and she will be healed.”

51Bu katula ku nzo, wukandika batu boso babika kota mu nzobotula kaka Piela, Yowani, Zaki ayi dise ayi ngudi yi muana ndumba.When He entered the house, He did not allow anyone to go in with Him except Peter, John, James, and the child’s father and mother.

52Batu boso badila ayi banionga mu diambu diandi ayi wuba kamba : —Bikanu dila bila kadi fua ko, tulu tuandi kalekidi.Meanwhile, everyone was weeping and mourning for her. But Jesus said, “Stop weeping; she is not dead but asleep.”

53Batu baba kunsekinina bila bazabati fuidi.And they laughed at Him, knowing that she was dead.

54Buna Yesu wusimba koko ku muana ndumba ayi wutuba mu mbembo yingolo : —Muanꞌama, telama kuaku.But Jesus took her by the hand and called out, “Child, get up!”

55Buna wufuluka ayi wutelama ; Yesu wuvana minsua mu diambu bamvana bidia.Her spirit returned, and at once she got up. And He directed that she be given something to eat.

56Zimbuta zi muana ndumba zisimina. Yesu wuba kandika babika kambakadi kuidi mutu wumosi mambu maviokidi.Her parents were astounded, but Jesus ordered them not to tell anyone what had happened.
