Matthew 19 (YOM)

1Yesu bu kamanisa tuba mambu momo, wubotuka ku Ngalili, wuyenda mu bizunga bi Yuda ku disimu dinkaka di Yolidani.When Jesus had finished saying these things, He left Galilee and went into the region of Judea beyond the Jordan.

2Nkangu wu batu bawombo banlandakana ayi kuna kabelusila bambevo.Large crowds followed Him, and He healed them there.

3Bafalisi bayiza kuidi Yesu mu kumvukumuna ayi banyuvula : —Minsua midi kuidi bakala mu katula nketo andi va dikuela mu kioso-kioso bila e ?Then some Pharisees came and tested Him by asking, “Is it lawful for a man to divorce his wife for any reason?”

4Wuba vutudila : —Lutengi ko ti vana thonono mvangi wuvanga bakala ayi nketoJesus answered, “Have you not read that from the beginning the Creator ‘made them male and female,’

5ayi wutuba : Diawu bakala kela bikila Dise diandi ayi ngudi andi mu bundana ayi nketoꞌandi ; buna bawu buadi bela kituka mutu wumosi e ?and said, ‘For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and the two will become one flesh’?

6Buawu bobo basiedi diaka batu buadi ko vayi beka mutu wumosi. Diawu mutu kabika vambisa kibundisa Nzambi.So they are no longer two, but one flesh. Therefore what God has joined together, let man not separate.”

7Bafalisi bankamba : —Vayi buna bila mbi Moyize kavanina minsua kuidi bakala mu vana nkanda luvambunu kuidi nketo ayi kunkuka va dikuela e ?“Why then,” they asked, “did Moses order a man to give his wife a certificate of divorce and send her away?”

8Yesu wuba vutudila : —Moyize wuluvana minsua mu vonda dikuela mu diambu di mintima mieno midi banga matadi. Vayi buawu ko bubela vana thonono.Jesus replied, “Moses permitted you to divorce your wives because of your hardness of heart. But it was not this way from the beginning.

9Vayi ndikulukamba : Woso mutu wumvambana ayi nketo andi, enati kasi vola kiphinga ko ayi kuedidi nketo wunkaka, buna luzaba ti bafueti kuntangila nkua kitsuza.Now I tell you that whoever divorces his wife, except for sexual immorality, and marries another woman commits adultery.”

10Buna minlonguki minkamba : —Enati bobo bufueti kadila bakala va ntuala nketo, buna kadi kuandi mfunu mu kuela.His disciples said to Him, “If this is the case between a man and his wife, it is better not to marry.”

11Yesu wuba vutudila : —Batu boso balendi kikinina mambu momo ko vayi kuidi bobo kaka bavanu diawu.“Not everyone can accept this word,” He replied, “but only those to whom it has been given.

12Bukiedika bankaka balendi kuela ko bila badi bavokolo tona mbutukulu awu ; bankaka bavokolo kuidi batu mu diambu babika kuela ayi bankaka bakivokolo bawu veka mu diambu di kipfumu ki Diyilu. Woso mutu wulenda kikinina mambu mama, bika kakikinina mawu.For there are eunuchs who were born that way; others were made that way by men; and still others live like eunuchs for the sake of the kingdom of heaven. The one who can accept this should accept it.”

13Banatina Yesu bana balezi muingi kaba tetika mioko ayi kaba sambidila. Vayi minlonguki mitemina batu bobo banata bana beni.Then little children were brought to Jesus for Him to place His hands on them and pray for them. And the disciples rebuked those who brought them.

14Vayi Yesu wuba kamba : —Lubika bana balezi biza kuidi minu ; kadi kuba kandika bila kipfumu ki Diyilu kidi ki bobo baba dedikini.But Jesus said, “Let the little children come to Me, and do not hinder them! For the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these.”

15Wuba tetika mioko ayi wuyenda kuandi.And after He had placed His hands on them, He went on from there.

16Buna mutu wumosi wufikama vaba Yesu ayi wunyuvula : —A Nlongi, diambu mbi dimboti phanga muingi ndibaka luzingu lu mvu ka mvu e ?Just then a man came up to Jesus and inquired, “Teacher, what good thing must I do to obtain eternal life?”

17Yesu wumvutudila : —Bila mbi wukunguivudila mu diambu dimboti e ? Zaba ti wumosi kaka widi wumboti. Vayi enati tidi kota mu luzingu buna wufueti keba Mina.“Why do you ask Me about what is good?” Jesus replied. “There is only One who is good. If you want to enter life, keep the commandments.”

18Mutu beni wunyuvula : —A Mina mbi miomi e ? Yesu wuvutula : —Kadi vonda, kadi vanga kitsuza, kadi yiba, kadi telama kimbangi ki luvunu.“Which ones?” the man asked. Jesus answered, “‘Do not murder, do not commit adultery, do not steal, do not bear false witness,

19Kinzika dise diaku ayi ngudi aku ayi zola ndiaku banga bobo weta kukizodila ngeyo veka.honor your father and mother, and love your neighbor as yourself.’”

20Ditoko beni dituba : —Ndieta keba Mina mioso miomi vayi mbi bikambulu diaka va minu e ?“All these I have kept,” said the young man. “What do I still lack?”

21Yesu wumvutudila : —Enati tidi ba mutu wufuana ; yenda mana sumbisa bima biobi bidi yaku bosi vana kuidi minsukami, buna ma wubaka kimvuama ku Diyilu, bosi yiza wundandakana !Jesus told him, “If you want to be perfect, go, sell your possessions and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come, follow Me.”

22Ditoko buna kawa mambu mama, wuyenda mu kiadi, bila kimvuama kiwombo kiba yandi.When the young man heard this, he went away in sorrow, because he had great wealth.

23Bosi Yesu wukamba minlonguki miandi : —Bukiedika ndikulukamba ti didi diambu diphasi kuidi mutu widi kimvuama mu kota mu kipfumu ki Diyilu.Then Jesus said to His disciples, “Truly I tell you, it is hard for a rich man to enter the kingdom of heaven.

24Ndikulukamba diaka ti kadi kuandi phasi kuidi kamela mu viokila va divudu di tsoma vayi bika kuidi mutu widi kimvuama mu kota mu kipfumu ki Nzambi.Again I tell you, it is easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God.”

25Minlonguki misimina buwombo mu diambu di mambu momo, miyuvula : —A buna nani lenda vuka e ?When the disciples heard this, they were greatly astonished and asked, “Who then can be saved?”

26Yesu wuba sungimina bosi wutuba : —Kuidi batu malendi baka bu vangimina ko vayi kuidi Nzambi mamo malenda vangama.Jesus looked at them and said, “With man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.”

27Bosi Piela wunyuvula : —A beto tumana bika bima bioso mu diambu di kulandakananga, buevi buela bela mu diambu dieto e ?“Look,” Peter replied, “we have left everything to follow You. What then will there be for us?”

28Yesu wuba vutudila : —Bukiedika ndikulukamba ti thangu mambu moso mela kituka mamona ayi bu Muana Mutu kela vuanda va Kundu kiandi ki Kipfumu mu nkembo, beno lundandakana, luela vuanda va kumi bikundu biodi mu diambu di sambisa kumi makanda muadi ma Iseli.Jesus said to them, “Truly I tell you, in the renewal of all things, when the Son of Man sits on His glorious throne, you who have followed Me will also sit on twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.

29Bosi woso mutu bikidi kani zinzo ziandi, kani bakhomba bandi zi babakala, bakhomba bandi zi baketo, kani Dise diandi, ngudi andi, bana bandi voti zitsola ziandi mu diambu diama wela baka bima biandi mu zikhama di zikhumbu ayi wela tambula luzingu lu kalumani.And everyone who has left houses or brothers or sisters or father or mother or wife or children or fields for the sake of My name will receive a hundredfold and will inherit eternal life.

30Vayi batu bawombo mu bobo badi buabu batheti bela ba batsuka ayi bobo badi buabu batsuka, bela ba batheti.But many who are first will be last, and the last will be first.
