Matthew 9 (YOM)

1Yesu wukuma mu nlungu ayi wusabuka mbu ; ayi wuyenda ku divula diandi.Jesus got into a boat, crossed over, and came to His own town.

2Bannatina mu kiphoyi dikoka dimosi. Yesu bu kamona minu kiawu, wukamba dikoka : —Ba ayi bukhafi muanꞌama, masumu maku malemvukulu.Just then some men brought to Him a paralytic lying on a mat. When Jesus saw their faith, He said to the paralytic, “Take courage, son; your sins are forgiven.”

3Buna minlongi minkaka mi Mina mieka niunguta : “Mutu wawu wulembo vuezi Nzambi !”On seeing this, some of the scribes said to themselves, “This man is blaspheming!”

4Yesu wuzaba mayindu mawu ayi wuba yuvula : —Bila mbi luididi mayindu mambimbi mu mintima mieno ?But Jesus knew what they were thinking and said, “Why do you harbor evil in your hearts?

5Mbi bilutidi kambu phasi mu kamba : “Masumu maku malemvukulu” voti : “Telama kuaku ayi diata” ?Which is easier: to say, ‘Your sins are forgiven,’ or to say, ‘Get up and walk’?

6Vayi muingi luzaba mboti ti Muana Mutu beki lulendo vava ntoto mu lemvukila masumu. Buna wutala dikoka ayi wunkamba : —Telama, bonga kiphoyi kiaku, vutuka ku nzoꞌaku.But so that you may know that the Son of Man has authority on earth to forgive sins...” Then He said to the paralytic, “Get up, pick up your mat, and go home.”

7Dikoka beni ditelama ayi diyenda ku nzoꞌandi.And the man got up and went home.

8Nkangu wu batu bu wumona bobo, bamona boma ayi bakembisa Nzambi wuvana lulendo luphila yoyi kuidi batu.When the crowds saw this, they were filled with awe and glorified God, who had given such authority to men.

9Yesu wuyenda. Bu kaba vioka, wumona mutu wumosi, dizina diandi Matayi, wuvuanda mu bilu kimfutusulungu ziphaku. Wunkamba : —Wundandakana ! Matayi wutelama ayi wunlandakana.As Jesus went on from there, He saw a man named Matthew sitting at the tax booth. “Follow Me,” He told him, and Matthew got up and followed Him.

10Bu kaba ndia va meza mu nzo Matayi, buna mimfutisi miwombo mi ziphaku ayi bankua masumu bayiza dia va meza va kimosi ayi Yesu ayi minlonguki miandi.Later, as Jesus was dining at Matthew’s house, many tax collectors and sinners came and ate with Him and His disciples.

11Bafalisi bu bamona bobo bayuvula minlonguki miandi : —Bila mbi Nlongiꞌeno kalembo dila va kimosi ayi mimfutisi mi ziphaku ayi bankua masumu e ?When the Pharisees saw this, they asked His disciples, “Why does your Teacher eat with tax collectors and sinners?”

12Yesu bu kawa bobo, buna wuvutula : —Batu badi nitu yi mvini batombanga munganga ko vayi batu badi bimbevo bawu bantombanga munganga.On hearing this, Jesus said, “It is not the healthy who need a doctor, but the sick.

13Luenda lulonguka tsundu yi mambu mama : thidi luba batu badi mintima mi kiadi vayi mbengi luthambikanga kaka makaba. Bila ndisia kuiza tela ko batu basonga vayi ndiyiza tela bankua masumu.But go and learn what this means: ‘I desire mercy, not sacrifice.’ For I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners.”

14Buna minlonguki mi Yowani miyiza kuidi Yesu mu kunyuvula ti : —Bila mbi beto ayi bafalisi tueti kifuisa nzala mu diambu di lusambulu vayi minlonguki miaku mikifuisanga nzala ko mu diambu di lusambulu e ?Then John’s disciples came to Jesus and asked, “Why is it that we and the Pharisees fast so often, but Your disciples do not fast?”

15Yesu wuba vutudila : —Lumbanza ti batu bobo batumusu kuidi ditoko diodo dikuedidi balenda ba mu kiadi ditoko bu kakidi yawu va kimosi e ? Vayi vadi thangu bu bela ku bakatula ditoko va khatitsikꞌawu, buna bosi bela kukifuisa nzala mu diambu di lusambulu.Jesus replied, “How can the guests of the bridegroom mourn while He is with them? But the time will come when the bridegroom will be taken from them; then they will fast.

16Kuisi ko mutu wela bonga tendi kinledi kimona muingi kalondila nledi wukhulu bila tende kioki kimona maki kakuna nledi wukhulu, ayi divudu ma diba dinneni.No one sews a patch of unshrunk cloth on an old garment. For the patch will pull away from the garment, and a worse tear will result.

17Bobuawu balendi tula ko vinu kimona mu zitsaku zikhulu bila buna zitsaku zikanzukidi ayi buna vinu kidukukidi ayi zitsaku zifuidi. Vayi beti lundila vinu kimona mu zitsaku zimona. Mu phila yoyi zitsaku ayi vinu mabilundama bumboti !Neither do men pour new wine into old wineskins. If they do, the skins will burst, the wine will spill, and the wineskins will be ruined. Instead, they pour new wine into new wineskins, and both are preserved.”

18Mu thangu Yesu kaba kamba mambu mama, pfumu yimosi wuyiza fukama va ntualꞌandi ayi wutuba : —Muanꞌama wunketo fuidi vayi bufueni wiza ntetika koko kuaku ayi ma kazinga diaka !While Jesus was saying these things, a synagogue leader came and knelt before Him. “My daughter has just died,” he said. “But come and place Your hand on her, and she will live.”

19Yesu wutelama ayi wunlandakana va kimosi ayi minlonguki miandi.So Jesus got up and went with him, along with His disciples.

20Mu thangu yina nketo wumosi wuba kimbevo kiviokanga menga ; kimbevo beni kizingila kumi mvu miodi, wufikama ku manima ayi wusimba tsongi nlediꞌandi.Suddenly a woman who had suffered from bleeding for twelve years came up behind Him and touched the fringe of His cloak.

21Bila wuyindula mu ntimꞌandi ti : “minu simba kuandi nledi andi, mfueti kaka beluka !”She said to herself, “If only I touch His cloak, I will be healed.”

22Yesu wutala ku manima ayi bu kammona, wutuba : —Muanꞌama wunketo, ba bukhafi, bila minu kiaku kibelusidi ! Buna nketo beni wubeluka muna yina thangu.Jesus turned and saw her. “Take courage, daughter,” He said, “your faith has healed you.” And the woman was healed from that very hour.

23Yesu bu katula ku nzo pfumu, wumona minsiki mi minsioni ayi nkangu wu batu wuba ntela-ntela.When Jesus entered the house of the synagogue leader, He saw the flute players and the noisy crowd.

24Buna wutuba : —Totukeno, bila muana wunketo kasi fua ko, vayi tulu tuandi kalekidi.“Go away,” He told them. “The girl is not dead, but asleep.” And they laughed at Him.

25Nkangu bu wumana totuka ku nganda, Yesu wukota ayi wusimba muana beni mu koko, bosi muana ndumba beni wutelama.After the crowd had been put outside, Jesus went in and took the girl by the hand, and she got up.

26Tsangu beni yitembakana mu zunga kioso.And the news about this spread throughout that region.

27Yesu bu katotuka vana, baphofo buadi zinlandakana vayi sumbu ziba kuenda nlandakana zilembo yamikina : —A Muana Davidi e, wutumoni kiadi e !As Jesus went on from there, two blind men followed Him, crying out, “Have mercy on us, Son of David!”

28Bu kakota ku nzo, baphofo zifikama va kaba. Niandi wuba yuvula : —Luwilukidi ti ndenda vanga diawu e ? Bawu bavutula : —Nyinga Pfumu.After Jesus had entered the house, the blind men came to Him. “Do you believe that I am able to do this?” He asked. “Yes, Lord,” they answered.

29Bosi wusimba meso mawu ayi wukamba : —Bika buvangimina boso buididi minu kieno !Then He touched their eyes and said, “According to your faith will it be done to you.”

30Vana vawu meso mawu mazibukidi. Yesu wuba kandika ti : —kadi mutu kazaba mambu mama.And their eyes were opened. Jesus warned them sternly, “See that no one finds out about this!”

31Vayi bawu bu bayenda, bamana tembikisa tsangu andi mu zunga kioso.But they went out and spread the news about Him throughout the land.

32Mu thangu batotuka, bannatina dibaba, wuba yamusungu kuidi pheve yimbimbi.As they were leaving, a demon-possessed man who was mute was brought to Jesus.

33Yesu wukuka pheve beni. Muna thangu beni kaka mutu weka nyoluka. Batu basimina ayi bakamba : —Tumueni ko mambu ma phila yayi mu Iseli !And when the demon had been driven out, the man began to speak. The crowds were amazed and said, “Nothing like this has ever been seen in Israel!”

34Vayi Bafalisi bakamba : —A keti mu lulendo lu Pfumu yi ziphevi zimbimbi kalembo kukila ziphevi zimbimbi !But the Pharisees said, “It is by the prince of demons that He drives out demons.”

35Yesu wuba diengilanga mu mavula moso ayi mu mala moso. Wuba longanga mu zinzo zi zikhutukunu zi Bayuda ayi wuba longanga Nsamu wumboti wu Kipfumu, wuba belusanga bimbevo biphila mu phila ayi ziphasi zi phila mu phila.Jesus went through all the towns and villages, teaching in their synagogues, preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing every disease and sickness.

36Bu kamona nkangu wu batu, kiadi kimbuila mu diambu diawu, bila batu beni ku tsi mayindu baba ayi baba bavonga banga mamemi makondolo nsungi.When He saw the crowds, He was moved with compassion for them, because they were harassed and helpless, like sheep without a shepherd.

37Buna wukamba minlonguki miandi : —Lutala, mimbutu miyela mieka miwombo mu tsola vayi bisadi bidi bifioti.Then He said to His disciples, “The harvest is plentiful, but the workers are few.

38Diawu lulomba kuidi Pfumu yi tsola muingi kafidisa bisadi mu diambu di vela mimbutu.Ask the Lord of the harvest, therefore, to send out workers into His harvest.”
