Luke 8
1 Soon after this Jesus went around the towns and villages announcing the good news of God's kingdom. The twelve disciples went with him,
Bosi Yesu wuyenda mu mavula ayi mu mala mu yamikisa ayi mu samuna Nsamu Wumboti wu Kipfumu ki Nzambi.
2 along with a number of women who had been healed from evil spirits and sickness: Mary called Magdalene from whom he had cast out seven demons;
Kumi 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,
3 Joanna, the wife of Herod's manager Chuza; Susanna; and many more who provided support from their personal resources.
Zana nketo Suza mutu wuba lundanga bima bi Elode, Suzani ayi bawombo bankaka baba kunsadisanga mu bima biawu.
4 Once when a large crowd of people gathered, coming from many towns to see him, Jesus spoke to them, using a story as an illustration.
Nkangu wuwombo wu batu wuyiza kutakana. Batu beni batotukila mu mavula mavombo. Buna Yesu wuba samunia nongo yayi:
5 “A farmer went out to sow his seed. As he scattered the seed, some fell on the road where people trampled on it and birds ate it up.
—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.
6 Some fell on stony ground, and once the seeds had sprouted they withered for lack of moisture.
Ndambu yinkaka yi zitheti yibua va matadi. Bu zimena, zivika yuma bilavasia ba mbozi ko.
7 Some seeds fell among thorns and as they both grew the thorns choked the plants.
Zinkaka zibua va zitsendi. Zitsendi ziyunduka va kimosi ayi mintuidilavayi zitsendi zifietikisa miawu.
8 Some seeds fell on good earth and after they grew they produced a harvest one hundred times more than what had been sown.” After he told them this, he called out, “If you have ears, then listen!”
Vayi 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.
9 But his disciples asked him, “What does this illustration mean?”
Minlonguki miandi minyuvula tsundu yi nongo yoyi.
10 Jesus replied, “You've been given insights into the mysteries of God's kingdom, but the rest are given illustrations, so that, ‘Even though they see, they don't really see; and even though they hear, they don't really understand.’
Buna 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.
11 This is the meaning of the illustration: The seed is God's word.
—Luwa tsundu yi nongo yayi: mbongo yawu mambu ma Nzambi
12 The seeds that fall on the road are those who hear the message, but then the devil comes and steals away the truth from their minds so they won't trust in God and be saved.
Mu 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.
13 The seeds that fall on the stony ground are those who hear and welcome the message with joy but don't have any roots. They trust for a while but when difficult times come they give up.
“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.
14 The seeds that fall among thorns are those who hear the message but it's choked out by life's distractions—worries, wealth, pleasure—so they don't produce anything.
“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.
15 The seeds sown on good earth are those who are honest and do what is right. They hear the message of truth, hold on to it, and through their perseverance produce a good harvest.
Bosi “mbongo yibua va ntoto wumbote” yidi batu bobo bawa mambuma Nzambi, balunda mawu mu ntima wukambulu mayuya ayi wumbote. Bawu bambutanga mimbutu bu bavibididi.
16 You don't light a lamp and then cover it with a bucket, or hide it under a bed. No, you put it on a stand, so that anyone who comes in can see the light.
—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.
17 For there's nothing hidden that won't be revealed; there's nothing secret that won't become known and obvious.
Bila mamo masuama mafueti ba va kiesila; mamo masueku mafueti zabakana ayi totuka va nganda.
18 So pay attention how you ‘hear.’ To those who have received, more will be given; from those who don't receive, even what they think they have will be taken away!”
Diawu 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.
19 Then Jesus' mother and brothers arrived, but they couldn't get through the crowd to see him.
Ngudi yi Yesu ayi bakhomba bandi bayiza kuidi niandi vayi basianunga ko fikama va kaba mu diambu di nkangu wu batu.
20 Jesus was told, “Your mother and your brothers are outside. They want to see you.”
Buna bankamba: —Ngudi aku ayi bakhomba ziaku badi ku nganda ayi batidi kumona.
21 “My mother and my brothers are those who hear God's word, and do what it says,” Jesus replied.
Yesu wuba vutudila: —Bobo beti wanga mambu ma Nzambi ayi bansadilanga mawu bawu ngudiama ayi bakhomba ziama.
22 One day Jesus said to his disciples, “Let's cross over to the other side of the lake.” So they got into a boat and set off.
Lumbu kimosi Yesu wukuma mu nlungu va kimosi ayi minlongukimiandi, buna wuba kamba: —Bika tusabukanu ku disimu dinkaka di mbu. Buna batula ku ngingi nlangu.
23 As they were sailing, Jesus fell asleep, and a storm came down on the lake. The boat began filling with water and they were in danger of sinking.
Bu baba vuila, Yesu wuleka tulu. Zimbukila vuka kimosi kingolo kitonamu mbu, nlangu wutona wala mu nlungu ayi mu ziphasi miba.
24 They went over to Jesus and woke him up. “Master, master, we're going to drown!” they said. Jesus woke up and commanded the wind and the rough waves to stop. They stopped, and all was calm.
Minlonguki 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.
25 “Where is your trust?” he asked them. Terrified and amazed, they said to each other, “So who is this? He gives commands to the winds and the water, and they obey him!”
Buna 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?
26 They sailed across to the Gerasene region that lies opposite Galilee.
Batula mu zunga ki basi Ngalasa, kitalani ayi ngalili
27 When Jesus stepped out of the boat onto the shore, a demon-possessed man from the town came to meet him. For a long time he hadn't worn any clothes or lived in a house. He lived in the tombs.
Yesu 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.
28 When he saw Jesus he screamed, fell down at Jesus' feet, and asked in a loud voice, “What do you want with me, Jesus, Son of the Most High God? Please don't torture me, I beg you!”
Bu 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.
29 For Jesus had already commanded the evil spirit to leave the man. It had often seized him, and despite being tied down with chains and shackles, and placed under guard, he would break the chains apart and would be driven by the demon into the desert areas.
Wutuba 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.
30 “What is your name?” Jesus asked him. “Legion,” he replied, for many demons had entered him.
Yesu wunyuvula: —Dizina diaku nani e? Niandi wuvutula: —Lengio. Bila ziphevi ziwombo zimbimbi zikota mu mutu beni.
Ziphevi zimbimbi beni zileba Yesu muingi kabika kuba tuma benda ku diyenga. (Abyssos g12)
32 There was a large herd of pigs feeding on the nearby hillside, and the demons begged him to be allowed to go into the pigs. Jesus gave them permission,
Nkangu wu zingulu wuba dia vana mbata mongo. Ziphevi zimbimbizileba Yesu muingi zikota mu zingulu beni. Buna wuba vana minsua.
33 so the demons left the man and entered the pigs. The herd rushed down the steep slope into the lake and drowned.
Ziphevi zimbimbi zitotuka mu mutu ayi zikota mu zingulu. Muna yina thangu nkangu wu zingulu wunengumuka mu mongo nate ziyiza bua mu mbu. Buna zidiama.
34 When the pig-keepers saw what had happened they ran off and spread the news through the town and the countryside.
Mu thangu minsungi mi zingulu mimona mambu momo mavioka, mitina ayi miyenda kamba mambu beni ku divula ayi mu zitsola.
35 The people went out to see what had happened. When they came to Jesus they found the man freed from the demons. He was sitting there at Jesus' feet, wearing clothes and in his right mind; and they became scared.
Batu 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.
36 Those who had seen what happened explained how the demon-possessed man had been healed.
Batu bobo bamona mambu beni baba kamba buevi bu vukila mutu wowo wuyamusu kuidi ziphevi zimbimbi.
37 Then all the people from the Gerasene region asked Jesus to leave because they were overwhelmed by fear. So he got into the boat and went back.
Vana vawu batu ba zunga ki Ngelasa bu bamona boma bu ngolobuna baleba Yesu kabotuka mu zunga kiawu. Niandi wukuma mu nlungu ayi wuvutuka.
38 The man who had been freed from the demons begged to go with him, but Jesus sent him away.
Mutu wowo wukulu mu ziphevi zimbimbi wuleba Yesu muingi kanlandakanavayi Yesu wumvutula ayi wunkamba:
39 “Go back home, and tell people all that God has done for you,” Jesus told him. So he went away, telling the whole town all that Jesus had done for him.
—Vutuka ku nzoꞌaku ayi samuna mambu moso Nzambi kavangidi. Buna mutu beni wuyenda, wuyemikisa, mu divula dioso, mambu Yesu kamvangila.
40 A crowd of people was there to welcome Jesus when he returned, all eagerly expecting him.
Bu kavutuka, nkangu wu batu wuyakula Yesu bila batu boso baba kumvingila.
41 One was a man called Jairus, a synagogue leader, who came and fell at Jesus' feet. He pleaded with Jesus to come to his home
Tala 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 andi
42 because his only daughter was dying. She was about twelve years old. While Jesus was on his way there, people were crowding around him.
bila muanꞌandi wumosi kaka wunketo, wuba nduka-nduka kumi mimvu miodi wuba nduka mu fua. Bu kaba kuenda vayi nkangu wu batu wumfietikisa.
43 In the crowd was a woman who had suffered with bleeding for twelve years. She had spent all she had on doctors, but none of them had been able to help her.
Nketo 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.
44 She approached Jesus from behind and touched the hem of his cloak. Immediately the bleeding stopped.
Wufikama ku manima ma Yesu ayi wusimba tsongi nledi andi. Vana vawu menga makangama.
45 “Who touched me?” Jesus asked. Everybody around denied doing so. “But Master,” said Peter, “there are people crowding around you, and they keep pushing up against you.”
Buna 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.
46 “Someone touched me,” Jesus replied. “I know because power went out from me.”
Vayi niandi wuvutula: —Mutu wumosi wutsimbidi bila nzebi ti lulendo lutotukidi mu munu.
47 When the woman realized she couldn't go unnoticed, she came forward, trembling, and fell down before him. Right in front of everybody she explained the reason why she had touched Jesus, and that she'd been cured immediately.
Nketo 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.
48 Jesus said to her, “Daughter, your trust has healed you, go in peace.”
Yesu wunkamba: —A muanꞌama wunketo, minu kiaku kivukisidi, yenda mu ndembama.
49 While he was still speaking, someone came from the home of the synagogue leader to tell him, “Your daughter's dead. You don't need to bother the Teacher any longer.”
Buna kamanisini ko tuba, mutu wuba kuidi pfumu nzo yilukutukunu wuyiza ayi wunkamba: —Muanꞌaku wunketo fuidi, bika buela yamisa nlongi.
50 But when he heard this, Jesus told Jairus, “Don't be afraid. If you trust, she will be healed.”
Yesu bu kawa bobo, wukamba Yayilusi ti: —Bika mona boma vayi wilukila kaka bila muanꞌaku wunketo wela beluka.
51 When Jesus arrived at the house he didn't allow anyone else to go in except Peter, John, and James, and the girl's father and mother.
Bu katula ku nzo, wukandika batu boso babika kota mu nzobotula kaka Piela, Yowani, Zaki ayi dise ayi ngudi yi muana ndumba.
52 All the people there were crying and mourning for her. “Don't cry,” Jesus told them. “She's not dead, she's just sleeping.”
Batu boso badila ayi banionga mu diambu diandi ayi wuba kamba: —Bikanu dila bila kadi fua ko, tulu tuandi kalekidi.
53 They laughed at him, because they knew that she was dead.
Batu baba kunsekinina bila bazabati fuidi.
54 But Jesus took her by the hand, and said in a loud voice, “My child, get up!”
Buna Yesu wusimba koko ku muana ndumba ayi wutuba mu mbembo yingolo: —Muanꞌama, telama kuaku.
55 She came back to life, and she got up at once. Jesus told them to give her something to eat.
Buna wufuluka ayi wutelama; Yesu wuvana minsua mu diambu bamvana bidia.
56 Her parents were astonished at what had happened, but Jesus instructed them not to tell anyone about it.
Zimbuta zi muana ndumba zisimina. Yesu wuba kandika babika kambakadi kuidi mutu wumosi mambu maviokidi.
