Luke 12
1 Meanwhile, when a multitude of many thousands had gathered together, so much so that they trampled on each other, he began to tell his disciples first of all, “Beware of the yeast of the Pharisees, which is hypocrisy.
Muna thangu yina, nkangu wu batu wuwombo-wombo wukutakana, babandiatasana bawu na bawu mu malu. Buna Yesu wutona kamba theti minlonguki miandi: —Lulubukila luvi lu Bafalisi. Mayuya mawu luawu luvi beni.
2 But there is nothing covered up that will not be revealed, nor hidden that will not be known.
Bila kuisi ko diambu disuama diela kambu zabukusu voti kuisi ko matsueki mela kambu zabakana.
3 Therefore whatever you have said in the darkness will be heard in the light. What you have spoken in the ear in the inner rooms will be proclaimed on the housetops.
Diawu mambu moso luyolukila mu tombi mela wakakana ku kiezila ayi momo luyolukila va dikutu, mu bivinga, mela yamukusu ku mbata muangu.
4 “I tell you, my friends, do not be afraid of those who kill the body, and after that have no more that they can do.
Ndikulukamba, beno bakundi bama, lubika mona tsisi bobo balenda vonda nitu bila bawu vonga bobo balendi buela vanga diambu dinkaka ko.
5 But I will warn you whom you should fear. Fear him who after he has killed, has power to cast into Gehenna (Geenna g1067). Yes, I tell you, fear him.
Vayi ndieka kulumonisa bobo lufueti mona tsisi: Lutina mutu wowo beki lulendo lu lozila ku bulungi bu kameni vonda. Bukiedikandikulukamba, niandi mutu lufueti mona tsisi. (Geenna g1067)
6 “Are not five sparrows sold for two assaria coins? Not one of them is forgotten by God.
Basumbisanga ko zitsiodila zitanu mu zimbongo zizole zi bisengo e? Vayi Nzambi kasi zimbakana ko kadi yimosi mu zizioso.
7 But the very hairs of your head are all counted. Therefore do not be afraid. You are of more value than many sparrows.
Ayi zitsuki zi mintu mieno zidi zitangu. Lubika mona tsisibila lulutidi nkangu wu zitsiodila mu luvalu.
8 “I tell you, everyone who confesses me before men, the Son of Man will also confess before the angels of God;
Bukiedika ndikulukamba ti woso mutu wela kuntelimina kimbangi vameso ma batu, muana mutu mamvandi wela kuntelimina kimbangi va meso ma zimbasi zi Nzambi.
9 but he who denies me in the presence of men will be denied in the presence of God’s angels.
Vayi woso mutu wela kuthunuka va meso ma batu, mamvama ndielakuntunuka va meso ma zimbasi zi Nzambi.
10 Everyone who speaks a word against the Son of Man will be forgiven, but those who blaspheme against the Holy Spirit will not be forgiven.
Woso mutu wela yolukila mambimbi mu diambu di Muana mutu wela lemvukulu vayi woso mutu wela finga Mpeve yinlongo kalendi lemvukulu ko.
11 When they bring you before the synagogues, the rulers, and the authorities, do not be anxious how or what you will answer or what you will say;
Mu thangu bela kulunata va ntuala zinzo zi lukutukunu, va ntualamazuzi ayi va ntuala bapfumu, lubika ba mayindu mu zaba buevi luelakukitabila ayi diambu mbi luela vutula ayi buevi lueta yolukila.
12 for the Holy Spirit will teach you in that same hour what you must say.”
Bila Mpeve yinlongo wela kuluvana mambu momo luela tuba mu thangu yina kaka.
13 One of the multitude said to him, “Teacher, tell my brother to divide the inheritance with me.”
Mutu wumosi wuba muna nkangu, wukamba Yesu: —A nlongi, khambila khomb'ama tukabana yandi kiuka.
14 But he said to him, “Man, who made me a judge or an arbitrator over you?”
Vayi Yesu wumvutudila: —A Nkundi ama, nani wumbiekidi zuzi dieno voti nkabudi wu kiuka kieno e?
15 He said to them, “Beware! Keep yourselves from covetousness, for a man’s life does not consist of the abundance of the things which he possesses.”
Bosi wuba kamba: —Lulubuka luedi ba tsuina yi phila yina bila luzingu lu mutu luisi ko mu tezo ki bima biandi.
16 He spoke a parable to them, saying, “The ground of a certain rich man produced abundantly.
Buna wuba kamba nongo yayi: —Zitsola zi mutu wumosi wu busina zibutu ngolo.
17 He reasoned within himself, saying, ‘What will I do, because I do not have room to store my crops?’
Buna mutu beni wuyindula mu ntim'andi ti: “Mbi mfueti vanga? Bila ndisi ko bibuangu biobi mfueti lundila mbongo ama!
18 He said, ‘This is what I will do. I will pull down my barns, build bigger ones, and there I will store all my grain and my goods.
Buna wukamba, tala diambu diodi ndieka vanga: Ndieka tiolumuna bilundulu biama ayi ndieka tunga bilutidi tola. Muawu ndiela lundila mbongo'ama yoso ayi bima biama.
19 I will tell my soul, “Soul, you have many goods laid up for many years. Take your ease, eat, drink, and be merry.”’
Buna ndiela kamba muel'ama: A muel'ama: bima biwombo bieka yaku mutezo ki mimvu miwombo. Vunda kuaku, dia, nua ayi mona khini.”
20 “But God said to him, ‘You foolish one, tonight your soul is required of you. The things which you have prepared—whose will they be?’
Vayi Nzambi wunkamba: “vungisi! Builu buabu kuandi maba lomba muel'aku! Buna bima bioso biobi wukubikidi biela ba bi nani e?”
21 So is he who lays up treasure for himself, and is not rich toward God.”
Buawu bobo buididi mutu wunyidikanga busina mu diambu di niandiveka; vayi kasi sina ko mu mambu ma Nzambi.
22 He said to his disciples, “Therefore I tell you, do not be anxious for your life, what you will eat, nor yet for your body, what you will wear.
Yesu wukamba minlonguki miandi: —Diawu ndikulukambila; lubika bela luzingu mayindu mu diambu di biobi luela dia; lubika bela nitu mayindu mu diambu di biobi luela vuata.
23 Life is more than food, and the body is more than clothing.
Luzingu luviatukidi bidia ayi nitu yi vuatukidi minledi.
24 Consider the ravens: they do not sow, they do not reap, they have no warehouse or barn, and God feeds them. How much more valuable are you than birds!
Lutala zinuni ziozi beti tedilanga “minganga”, zikunanga ko ayi zitotanga bidia ko; zisi ko kadi nzo voti lundulu vayi Nzambi wukuzidikila. Keti beno luvalu luidi viokila zinuni.
25 Which of you by being anxious can add a cubit to his height?
Nani mu beno, mu diambu di mayindu mandi, lenda buela yika luzingu luandi ntela e?
26 If then you are not able to do even the least things, why are you anxious about the rest?
Enati luisi ko kadi lulendo mu mambu mama mafioti, buna bila mbi luididi mayindu mu diambu di momo mankaka e?
27 Consider the lilies, how they grow. They do not toil, neither do they spin; yet I tell you, even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these.
Lutala biteka; buevi bieti kudilanga, bisalanga ko, bitungangako vayi ndikulukamba, banza Salomo munkembo andi woso kasia vuata banga kiteka kimosi ko mu biteka biobi.
28 But if this is how God clothes the grass in the field, which today exists and tomorrow is cast into the oven, how much more will he clothe you, O you of little faith?
Enati Nzambi wuvuatisa kunusu kidi buabu ku tsola vayi mbazi ki lozolo ku mbazu. Buna buevi kela luta kuluvuatisila beno batu ba minu kifioti e?
29 “Do not seek what you will eat or what you will drink; neither be anxious.
Lubika banga mayindu mu diambu di tomba biobi luela dia ayi luela nua e? Lubika kukiyamisa mu mambu momo.
30 For the nations of the world seek after all of these things, but your Father knows that you need these things.
Bila Bapakanu ba ntoto bawu bantombanga mambu moso momo. Vayi Dise dieno zebi ti mfunu luvuidi bima biobi.
31 But seek God’s Kingdom, and all these things will be added to you.
Vayi lutomba kipfumu kiandi buna bima bioso biobi bela kulubuedila biawu.
32 “Do not be afraid, little flock, for it is your Father’s good pleasure to give you the Kingdom.
Bika mona tsisi, ngeyo nkangu wu mameme! Bila Dise dieno dimuenikhini mu kuluvana kipfumu.
33 Sell what you have and give gifts to the needy. Make for yourselves purses which do not grow old, a treasure in the heavens that does not fail, where no thief approaches and no moth destroys.
—Sumbisanu bima biobi bidi yenu ayi lukabudila minsukami. Bika lukikubikila ziphotomoni ziozi kazi fuanganga ko ayi lukikubikila kiuka, mu diyilu, kioki kakilendi suka ko, bila kuna muivi kalendi kukiyiba ko ayi zitselele zilendi bunga ko.
34 For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.
Bila koso kiudi kiuka kiaku kuna kuidi ntim'aku.
35 “Let your waist be dressed and your lamps burning.
—Luba bakubama mu kisalu ayi bika minda mienu milema.
36 Be like men watching for their lord when he returns from the wedding feast, that when he comes and knocks, they may immediately open to him.
Banu banga bisadi bimvingila pfumu awu mu yoso thangu bu kayendaku nyengo wu makuela, mu diambu bu kela vutuka ayi kela kokuta, bisadi biandi biela kunzibudila.
37 Blessed are those servants whom the lord will find watching when he comes. Most certainly I tell you that he will dress himself, make them recline, and will come and serve them.
Khini kuidi bisadi biobi Pfumu awu bu kela vutuka, wela kuiza bata badi bakubama. Bukiedika ndikulukamba, niandi wela vuata minledi mi kisaluayi wela vuandisa bisadi biandi va meza wela fikama ayi wela kuba tudila bidia.
38 They will be blessed if he comes in the second or third watch and finds them so.
Kiza va midi mi phipa voti va nkielo wu buisi, wukuiza babati buna badi bakubama, buna khini kuidi bisadi bina.
39 But know this, that if the master of the house had known in what hour the thief was coming, he would have watched and not allowed his house to be broken into.
Vayi luzaba kueno ti enati pfumu yi nzo zebi thangu mbi muivikankuizila, nganu wuleka nkielo ayi kasia tala ko bayiba nzo andi.
40 Therefore be ready also, for the Son of Man is coming in an hour that you do not expect him.”
Beno mamveno, banganu bakubama bila mu thangu yoyi lunkambubela mayindu yawu yinkuizila muana mutu.
41 Peter said to him, “Lord, are you telling this parable to us, or to everybody?”
Piela wunyuvula: —A Pfumu, tubidi nongo yoyo mu diambu di beto kaka voti mu diambu di batu boso e?
42 The Lord said, “Who then is the faithful and wise steward, whom his lord will set over his household, to give them their portion of food at the right times?
Pfumu wuvutula: —Buna nani kisadi kikuikama ayi ki diela kioki Pfumu kavana minsua mu yadila bisadi binkaka bi nzo andi mu kuba vananga kuku kiawuki ble mu thangu yifuana e?
43 Blessed is that servant whom his lord will find doing so when he comes.
Khini kuidi kisadi kioki, pfumu andi bu kela vutuka, wela buanu wunsala, boso bu kantumina.
44 Truly I tell you that he will set him over all that he has.
Bukiedika ndikulukamba pfumu andi wela kumvana minsua mu yadilabima biandi bioso.
45 But if that servant says in his heart, ‘My lord delays his coming,’ and begins to beat the menservants and the maidservants, and to eat and drink and to be drunken,
Vayi enati kisadi beni yindudi mu ntim'andi ti: “Pfumu amakakadi vika vutuka” ayi tonini yamisa bisadi bi babakala ayi bi bakieto, tonini dia, nua ayi kolu,
46 then the lord of that servant will come in a day when he is not expecting him and in an hour that he does not know, and will cut him in two, and place his portion with the unfaithful.
pfumu yi kisadi kina wela kuiza, mu lumbu kioki kela kambu bela mayindu ayi mu thangu yoyi kakambulu zaba. Buna pfumu andi wela kunloza ayi wela kumvana thumbudulu yi ngolo va kimosi ayi bakambulu bakuikama.
47 That servant who knew his lord’s will, and did not prepare nor do what he wanted, will be beaten with many stripes,
Kisadi kioki kizaba luzolo lu Pfumu andi vayi kasia kubama ko ayi kasia vanga ko boso buididi luzolo lu pfumu andi, wela zububikoti biwombo.
48 but he who did not know, and did things worthy of stripes, will be beaten with few stripes. To whomever much is given, of him will much be required; and to whom much was entrusted, of him more will be asked.
Vayi kisadi kioki kikambu zaba luzolo lu Pfumu andi ayi vengi mambu makalenda zubulu bikoti, wela zubu bikoti bifioti. Bila bela tomba biwombo kuidi mutu wowo bavana biwombo, ayi kuidimutu wowo bayekudila biwombo bela tombulu biwombo.
49 “I came to throw fire on the earth. I wish it were already kindled.
—Mbazu ndiyizidi loza va ntoto ayi diambu mbi nzodidi enatimbazu beni yikikuikulu?
50 But I have a baptism to be baptized with, and how distressed I am until it is accomplished!
Vayi vadi mbotokolo yimfueti botama ayi ndikidi ku tsi mayindu nate yela vangama.
51 Do you think that I have come to give peace in the earth? I tell you, no, but rather division.
—Beno lumbanzila ti minu ndembama ndineti vava ntoto e? Nana vayi khabunu.
52 For from now on, there will be five in one house divided, three against two, and two against three.
Bila tona buabi, enati batu batanu badi mu nzo, bela ba bavasana: batatu bela ba ku ndambu yimosi bosi babuadi bela ba ku ndambu yinkaka.
53 They will be divided, father against son, and son against father; mother against daughter, and daughter against her mother; mother-in-law against her daughter-in-law, and daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law.”
Dise diela fuemina muana wubakala ayi muana wubakala welafuemina Dise. Ngudi wela fuemina muana wunketo ayi muana wunketo wela fuemina ngudi. Nzitu wunketo wela fuemina nketo wu muan'andi ayinketo wu muana wela fuemina nzitu andi wunketo.
54 He said to the multitudes also, “When you see a cloud rising from the west, immediately you say, ‘A shower is coming,’ and so it happens.
Bosi Yesu wubuela kamba nkangu wu batu: —Bu lueti monanga dituti ku ndambu wesite, buna lueti tuba: “mvula ma yinoka”, buna bobo bueta bela.
55 When a south wind blows, you say, ‘There will be a scorching heat,’ and it happens.
Bu lueti monanga phemo wu sude weka vevumuka, buna luetituba: “muini mawu ba wu ngolo”; buna bobo bueta bela.
56 You hypocrites! You know how to interpret the appearance of the earth and the sky, but how is it that you do not interpret this time?
Bankua mayuya! Luzebi bakula bidimbu bi ntoto ayi bi diyilubuna buevi lunkambu bakudilanga thangu yayi e?
57 “Why do not you judge for yourselves what is right?
—Bila mbi lunkambu sudikilanga, mu beno veka, mambu masonga e?
58 For when you are going with your adversary before the magistrate, try diligently on the way to be released from him, lest perhaps he drag you to the judge, and the judge deliver you to the officer, and the officer throw you into prison.
Diawu bu lulembu yendi ku tilibinadu ayi mutu wowo wufundidibuna nuana mu dedikisa mambu beni bu lukidi mu nzila. Bila nganu wela ku funda kuidi zuzi ayi niandi wela kuyekula mu mioko mi masodi ayi mawu mela kukotisa mu nloko.
59 I tell you, you will by no means get out of there until you have paid the very last penny.”
Muaki bukiedika ndikukamba wulendi totuka muna ko nate wela futazimbongo zioso zi tsuka.
