Matthew 12 (YOM)

1Mu bilumbu bina, Yesu wuviokila mu tsola ble mu lumbu ki saba. Minlonguki miandi nzala miba mona diawu mikodila ble muingi midia.At that time Jesus went through the grainfields on the Sabbath. His disciples were hungry and began to pick the heads of grain and eat them.

2Thangu Bafalisi bamona bobo, buna bakamba Yesu : —Tala minlonguki miaku milembo vangi mambu makandama mu lumbu ki saba !When the Pharisees saw this, they said to Him, “Look, Your disciples are doing what is unlawful on the Sabbath.”

3Vayi Yesu wuba vutudila : —Lutengi ko mambu Davidi kavanga mu thangu niandi ayi bakundi bandi baba nzala ?Jesus replied, “Have you not read what David did when he and his companions were hungry?

4Wukota mu Nzo Nzambi ; niandi ayi bakundi bandi badia mapha momo matambuku kuidi Nzambi, ka diambu ko niandi ayi bakundi bandi basia ba ko minsua mu dia mapha beni vayi botula kaka banganga Nzambi.He entered the house of God, and he and his companions ate the consecrated bread, which was not lawful for them to eat, but only for the priests.

5Voti lutengi ko mu Mina ti mu lumbu ki saba zinganga Nzambi zieti sumuna lumbu ki saba bu zieti sala mu nzo Nzambi. Buna basi vanga nzimbala ko e ?Or haven’t you read in the Law that on the Sabbath the priests in the temple break the Sabbath and yet are innocent?

6Muaki bukiedika ndikulukamba mutu wumosi widi vava viokidi Nzo Nzambi.But I tell you that One greater than the temple is here.

7Vayi enati luzebi tsundu yi mambu mama : thidi luba batu badi mintima mi kiadi vayi mbengi luthambikanga kaka makaba. Nganu lusia bedisa ko batu bobo basia vanga bila ko.If only you had known the meaning of ‘I desire mercy, not sacrifice,’ you would not have condemned the innocent.

8Bila Muana Mutu, niandi pfumu yi lumbu ki saba.For the Son of Man is Lord of the Sabbath.”

9Bu kabotuka kuna, wuyenda ku nzo awu yi lukutukunu.Moving on from there, Jesus entered their synagogue,

10Kuna kuba mutu wumosi wuba koko kusioka. Buna banyuvula : —Minsua midi mu belusa mutu mu lumbu ki saba e ? Banyuvula bobo mu diambu babaka diluaku di kumfundila.and a man with a withered hand was there. In order to accuse Jesus, they asked Him, “Is it lawful to heal on the Sabbath?”

11Yesu wuba vutudila : —Zimbukila mutu wumosi mu beno widi dimemi dimosi kaka vayi ditibukidi mu dibulu dinda mu lumbu ki saba. Buna kalendi tibuka ko ayi ku ditotula ko e ?He replied, “If one of you has a sheep and it falls into a pit on the Sabbath, will he not take hold of it and lift it out?

12Keti mutu lutidi dimemi mu mfunu ! Bukiedika ndikulu kamba minsua midi mu vanga mamboti mu lumbu ki saba.How much more valuable is a man than a sheep! Therefore it is lawful to do good on the Sabbath.”

13Bosi wukamba kuidi mutu beni : —Nonuna koko kuaku ! Mutu beni wunonuna kuawu, ayi, koko kuandi kuba kusioka kufuana banga koko kunkaka.Then Jesus said to the man, “Stretch out your hand.” So he stretched it out, and it was restored to full use, just like the other.

14Ku nzimunina Bafalisi batotuka, bakutakana muingi batomba diluaku di balenda vondisila Yesu.But the Pharisees went out and plotted how they might kill Jesus.

15Vayi Yesu bu kazaba diawu buna wukatuka vana. Nkangu wunneni wunlandakana ayi, wubelusa batu boso.Aware of this, Jesus withdrew from that place. Large crowds followed Him, and He healed them all,

16Vayi wuba kandika babika tuba ti niandi nani.warning them not to make Him known.

17Buawu bobo budedikinina mambu mama ma mbikudi Ezayi :This was to fulfill what was spoken through the prophet Isaiah:

18Nzambi wutuba ti tala kisadi kiama kioki ndisobula ndikunzolanga buwombo, niandi wukumbonisanga khini. Ndiela tula pheve ama va niandi ayi wela yamikisa busonga kuidi makanda moso.“Here is My Servant, whom I have chosen, My beloved, in whom My soul delights. I will put My Spirit on Him, and He will proclaim justice to the nations.

19Kalendi zonza ko ayi kalendi yamikina ko. Mbembo andi yilendi wakakana ko mu zinzilaHe will not quarrel or cry out; no one will hear His voice in the streets.

20Kalendi kelula ko nti wu fioti wutufuka ayi kalendi zima ko nsifu wu muinda wukidi totula muisi nate kela nungisa busongaA bruised reed He will not break, and a smoldering wick He will not extinguish, till He leads justice to victory.

21Makanda moso mela tula diana diawu mu dizina niandi.In His name the nations will put their hope.”

22Bannatina mutu wumosi wuba ziphevi zimbimbi, wuba phofo ayi kaba yolukanga ko. Yesu wumbelusa. Buna mutu beni wutona yoluka ayi mona.Then a demon-possessed man who was blind and mute was brought to Jesus, and He healed the man so that he could speak and see.

23Nkangu woso wusimina ayi wutuba : —Niandi ko Muana Davidi e ?The crowds were astounded and asked, “Could this be the Son of David?”

24Vayi Bafalisi bu bawa bobo, bakamba : —A Keti mu lulendo lu Belezebuli, pfumu yi ziphevi zimbimbi kalembo totudila ziphevi zimbimbi.But when the Pharisees heard this, they said, “Only by Beelzebul, the prince of demons, does this man drive out demons.”

25Yesu wuzaba mayindu mawu, wuba kamba : —Kipfumu kioso kivasukidi kiawu veka kifueti muangana ayi dioso divula voti yoso nzo yidi yikabana mu yawu veka yilendi zingila ko.Knowing their thoughts, Jesus said to them, “Every kingdom divided against itself will be laid waste, and every city or household divided against itself will not stand.

26Enati satana kukidi satana, keti buna weka wuvasuka mu niandi veka. Buna buevi kipfumu kiandi kilenda zingila e ?If Satan drives out Satan, he is divided against himself. How then can his kingdom stand?

27Enati ndilembo kukila ziphevi zimbimbi mu lulendo lu Belezebuli buna mu lulendo lu nani batu beno bansadilanga mu kuzi kuka e ? Diawu, bawu veka 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.

28Vayi enati mu lulendo lu Pheve yi Nzambi ndilembo kukilanga ziphevi zimbimbi, buna Kipfumu ki Nzambi kitudidi nate kuidi beno.But if I drive out demons by the Spirit of God, then the kingdom of God has come upon you.

29Voti buevi mutu kalenda kotila mu nzo yi mutu widi ngolo muingi kayiba bima biandi enati kasi tuama kanga ko mutu beni widi ngolo e ? Buna bosi kalenda baka buyibila mu nzo andi.Or again, how can anyone enter a strong man’s house and steal his possessions, unless he first ties up the strong man? Then he can plunder his house.

30Woso mutu kambulu yama kithuadi buna mbeni ama. Woso mutu wunkambu kupika yama va kimosi buna niandi wulembo sasikisa.He who is not with Me is against Me, and he who does not gather with Me scatters.

31Diawu ndikulukambila : masumu moso ayi mvuezolo woso wulenda lemvokolo vayi botula kaka mvuezolo yintambula Pheve Yinlongo.Therefore I tell you, every sin and blasphemy will be forgiven men, but the blasphemy against the Spirit will not be forgiven.

32Woso wela yoluka mambu mambimbi mu diambu di Muana Mutu wela lemvokolo, vayi woso wela yoluka mambu mambimbi mu diambu di Pheve Yinlongo kalendi lemvokolo ko mu thangu yayi voti mu thangu yinkuiza.Whoever speaks a word against the Son of Man will be forgiven, but whoever speaks against the Holy Spirit will not be forgiven, either in this age or in the one to come.

33Tala enati nti widi wumboti buna wela buta mimbutu mimboti voti enati nti widi wumbimbi buna wela buta mimbutu mimbimbi bila banzabilanga nti mu mimbutu miandi.Make a tree good and its fruit will be good, or make a tree bad and its fruit will be bad, for a tree is known by its fruit.

34Beno luidi mu dikabu di bikusa ! Buna buevi bu lenda bela ti beno batu bambimbi lulenda tuba mambu mamboti ? Bila mu mambu momo mafulukidi mu ntima muawu mueti ba mambu meti tuba mutu.You brood of vipers, how can you who are evil say anything good? For out of the overflow of the heart the mouth speaks.

35Mutu wumboti weta tuba mambu mamboti momo madi mu kiuka kiandi kimboti. Vayi mutu wumbimbi weti tuba mambu mambimbi momo madi mu kiuka kiandi kimbimbi.The good man brings good things out of his good store of treasure, and the evil man brings evil things out of his evil store of treasure.

36Ndikulukamba ti mu lumbu kitsambusu, batu bela sambusu mu diambu di mambu moso maphamba momo batuba.But I tell you that men will give an account on the day of judgment for every careless word they have spoken.

37Bila mu mambu maku wela kitudulu wusonga ayi wela bedosolo.For by your words you will be acquitted, and by your words you will be condemned.”

38Buna ndambu minsoniki mi Mina minkaka ayi Bafalisi bayiza tambula minsua mu yoluka. Bawu bankamba : —Nlongi, tutidi wuvanga kumu kimosi !Then some of the scribes and Pharisees said to Him, “Teacher, we want to see a sign from You.”

39Yesu wuba vutudila : —Nkuna wu batu bambimbi ayi bakambulu bakuikama bawu bantomba kumu ! Balendi kumvana kinkaka ko. Vayi botula kaka kioki kivangama mu mbikudi Zonasi !Jesus replied, “A wicked and adulterous generation demands a sign, but none will be given it except the sign of the prophet Jonah.

40Bila bobuawu Zonasi kakadila mu vumu ki mbizi yinneni bilumbu bitatu ayi mabuilu matatu, buawu bobo Muana Mutu, kela kadila ku tsi ntoto bilumbu bitatu ayi mabuilu matatu.For as Jonah was three days and three nights in the belly of the great fish, so the Son of Man will be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth.

41Mu lumbu kitsambusu, basi Ninive bela telama va kimosi ayi batu ba thangu yayi ayi bela kuba zengila nkanu bila bawu babalula mintima thangu Zonasi kaba longa. Vayi tala vava vadi ayi mutu wumosi wulutidi 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.

42Mu lumbu kitsambusu ntinu wunketo wu sude wela telama va kimosi ayi batu ba thangu yayi ayi wela kuba zengila nkanu bila niandi wuba ku buala buidi thama muingi kiza wa mambu ma diela ma Solomo. Vayi tala vava vadi ayi mutu wumosi wulutidi Solomo.The Queen of the South will rise at the judgment with this generation and condemn it; for she came from the ends of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon, and now One greater than Solomon is here.

43—Mu thangu pheve yimbimbi yitotukidi mu mutu, buna yindiengilanga mu bibuangu bi yuma mu tomba buangu kivundila. Vayi enati kakadi baka buangu,When an unclean spirit comes out of a man, it passes through arid places seeking rest and does not find it.

44buna yintubanga : “Bika ndivutuka mu nzoꞌama yoyi ndibika.” Mu thangu yela vutuka ayi yela bata nzo beni yikambulu mutu, yikombolo ayi yimana kubuku.Then it says, ‘I will return to the house I left.’ On its return, it finds the house vacant, swept clean, and put in order.

45Buna pheve beni yoyi yimbimbi yela tomba tsambuadi di ziphevi zinkaka ziozi zimviokidi nganzi ; bu ziela kota ayi ziela vuanda muna. Diawu, khadulu yi mutu wowo yela ba yimbimbi viokila yoyi yitheti. Bobo buela bela mu diambu di tsungi yayi yimbimbi.Then it goes and brings with it 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. So will it be with this wicked generation.”

46Mu thangu Yesu kaba tuba kuidi nkangu wu batu, tala, ngudi andi ayi bakhomba bandi batelama ku nganda, bazola solula yandi.While Jesus was still speaking to the crowds, His mother and brothers stood outside, wanting to speak to Him.

47Mutu wumosi wuyiza kunkamba : —Tala ngudi aku ayi bakhomba ziaku batelimini ku nganda, batidi solula yaku !Someone told Him, “Look, Your mother and brothers are standing outside, wanting to speak to You.”

48Yesu wumvutudila : —Nani ngudi ama ? Banani bakhomba ziama ?But Jesus replied, “Who is My mother, and who are My brothers?”

49Mbadi wusonga minlonguki miandi nlembo ayi wukamba : Tala, ngudi ama ayi bakhomba ziama bawu baba.Pointing to His disciples, He said, “Here are My mother and My brothers.

50Bila woso mutu wumvanganga luzolo lu Dise diama didi ku Diyilu, niandi khombꞌama yi bakala, khombꞌama yi nketo ayi ngudi ama.For whoever does the will of My Father in heaven is My brother and sister and mother.”
