Luke 12
1 In the mean time, when there were gathered together an innumerable multitude of people, so that they stepped one on another, he began to say to his disciples first of all, Beware you of the leaven 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 For there is nothing covered, that shall not be revealed; neither hid, that shall not be known.
Bila kuisi ko diambu disuama diela kambu zabukusu voti kuisi ko matsueki mela kambu zabakana.
3 Therefore whatever you have spoken in darkness shall be heard in the light; and that which you have spoken in the ear in closets shall 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 And I say to you my friends, Be not afraid of them that 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 forewarn you whom you shall fear: Fear him, which after he has killed has power to cast into hell; yes, I say to you, Fear him. (Geenna g1067)
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 farthings, and not one of them is forgotten before God?
Basumbisanga ko zitsiodila zitanu mu zimbongo zizole zi bisengo e? Vayi Nzambi kasi zimbakana ko kadi yimosi mu zizioso.
7 But even the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Fear not therefore: 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 Also I say to you, Whoever shall confess me before men, him shall the Son of man 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 that denies me before men shall be denied before the angels of God.
Vayi woso mutu wela kuthunuka va meso ma batu, mamvama ndielakuntunuka va meso ma zimbasi zi Nzambi.
10 And whoever shall speak a word against the Son of man, it shall be forgiven him: but to him that blasphemes against the Holy Ghost it shall 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 And when they bring you to the synagogues, and to magistrates, and powers, take you no thought how or what thing you shall answer, or what you shall 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 Ghost shall teach you in the same hour what you ought to say.
Bila Mpeve yinlongo wela kuluvana mambu momo luela tuba mu thangu yina kaka.
13 And one of the company said to him, Master, speak to my brother, that he divide the inheritance with me.
Mutu wumosi wuba muna nkangu, wukamba Yesu: —A nlongi, khambila khombꞌama tukabana yandi kiuka.
14 And he said to him, Man, who made me a judge or a divider over you?
Vayi Yesu wumvutudila: —A Nkundi ama, nani wumbiekidi zuzi dieno voti nkabudi wu kiuka kieno e?
15 And he said to them, Take heed, and beware of covetousness: for a man’s life consists not in 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 And he spoke a parable to them, saying, The ground of a certain rich man brought forth plentifully:
Buna wuba kamba nongo yayi: —Zitsola zi mutu wumosi wu busina zibutu ngolo.
17 And he thought within himself, saying, What shall I do, because I have no room where to bestow my fruits?
Buna mutu beni wuyindula mu ntimꞌandi ti: “Mbi mfueti vanga? Bila ndisi ko bibuangu biobi mfueti lundila mbongo ama!
18 And he said, This will I do: I will pull down my barns, and build greater; and there will I bestow all my fruits and my goods.
Buna wukamba, tala diambu diodi ndieka vanga: Ndieka tiolumuna bilundulu biama ayi ndieka tunga bilutidi tola. Muawu ndiela lundila mbongoꞌama yoso ayi bima biama.
19 And I will say to my soul, Soul, you have much goods laid up for many years; take your ease, eat, drink, and be merry.
Buna ndiela kamba muelꞌama: A muelꞌama: bima biwombo bieka yaku mutezo ki mimvu miwombo. Vunda kuaku, dia, nua ayi mona khini.”
20 But God said to him, You fool, this night your soul shall be required of you: then whose shall those things be, which you have provided?
Vayi Nzambi wunkamba: “vungisi! Builu buabu kuandi maba lomba muelꞌaku! Buna bima bioso biobi wukubikidi biela ba bi nani e?”
21 So is he that 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 And he said to his disciples, Therefore I say to you, Take no thought for your life, what you shall eat; neither for the body, what you shall put on.
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 The life is more than meat, and the body is more than raiment.
Luzingu luviatukidi bidia ayi nitu yi vuatukidi minledi.
24 Consider the ravens: for they neither sow nor reap; which neither have storehouse nor barn; and God feeds them: how much more are you better than the fowls?
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 And which of you with taking thought can add to his stature one cubit?
Nani mu beno, mu diambu di mayindu mandi, lenda buela yika luzingu luandi ntela e?
26 If you then be not able to do that thing which is least, why take you thought for 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 toil not, they spin not; and yet I say to you, that 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 If then God so clothe the grass, which is to day in the field, and to morrow 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 And seek not you what you shall eat, or what you shall drink, neither be you of doubtful mind.
Lubika banga mayindu mu diambu di tomba biobi luela dia ayi luela nua e? Lubika kukiyamisa mu mambu momo.
30 For all these things do the nations of the world seek after: and your Father knows that you have need of these things.
Bila Bapakanu ba ntoto bawu bantombanga mambu moso momo. Vayi Dise dieno zebi ti mfunu luvuidi bima biobi.
31 But rather seek you the kingdom of God; and all these things shall be added to you.
Vayi lutomba kipfumu kiandi buna bima bioso biobi bela kulubuedila biawu.
32 Fear not, 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 that you have, and give alms; provide yourselves bags which wax not old, a treasure in the heavens that fails not, where no thief approaches, neither moth corrupts.
—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 ntimꞌaku.
35 Let your loins be girded about, and your lights burning;
—Luba bakubama mu kisalu ayi bika minda mienu milema.
36 And you yourselves like to men that wait for their lord, when he will return from the wedding; that when he comes and knocks, they may open to him immediately.
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 when he comes shall find watching: truly I say to you, that he shall gird himself, and make them to sit down to meat, and will come forth 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 And if he shall come in the second watch, or come in the third watch, and find them so, blessed are those servants.
Kiza va midi mi phipa voti va nkielo wu buisi, wukuiza babati buna badi bakubama, buna khini kuidi bisadi bina.
39 And this know, that if the manager of the house had known what hour the thief would come, he would have watched, and not have suffered his house to be broken through.
Vayi luzaba kueno ti enati pfumu yi nzo zebi thangu mbi muivikankuizila, nganu wuleka nkielo ayi kasia tala ko bayiba nzo andi.
40 Be you therefore ready also: for the Son of man comes at an hour when you think not.
Beno mamveno, banganu bakubama bila mu thangu yoyi lunkambubela mayindu yawu yinkuizila muana mutu.
41 Then Peter said to him, Lord, speak you this parable to us, or even to all?
Piela wunyuvula: —A Pfumu, tubidi nongo yoyo mu diambu di beto kaka voti mu diambu di batu boso e?
42 And the Lord said, Who then is that faithful and wise steward, whom his lord shall make ruler over his household, to give them their portion of meat in due season?
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 when he comes shall find so doing.
Khini kuidi kisadi kioki, pfumu andi bu kela vutuka, wela buanu wunsala, boso bu kantumina.
44 Of a truth I say to you, that he will make him ruler over all that he has.
Bukiedika ndikulukamba pfumu andi wela kumvana minsua mu yadilabima biandi bioso.
45 But and if that servant say in his heart, My lord delays his coming; and shall begin to beat the menservants and maidens, and to eat and drink, and to be drunken;
Vayi enati kisadi beni yindudi mu ntimꞌandi ti: “Pfumu amakakadi vika vutuka” ayi tonini yamisa bisadi bi babakala ayi bi bakieto, tonini dia, nua ayi kolu,
46 The lord of that servant will come in a day when he looks not for him, and at an hour when he is not aware, and will cut him in sunder, and will appoint him his portion with the unbelievers.
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 And that servant, which knew his lord’s will, and prepared not himself, neither did according to his will, shall 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 that knew not, and did commit things worthy of stripes, shall be beaten with few stripes. For to whomsoever much is given, of him shall be much required: and to whom men have committed much, of him they will ask the more.
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 am come to send fire on the earth; and what will I, if it be 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 am I straitened till it be accomplished!
Vayi vadi mbotokolo yimfueti botama ayi ndikidi ku tsi mayindu nate yela vangama.
51 Suppose you that I am come to give peace on 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 shall 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 The father shall be divided against the son, and the son against the father; the mother against the daughter, and the daughter against the mother; the mother in law against her daughter in law, and the 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 muanꞌandi ayinketo wu muana wela fuemina nzitu andi wunketo.
54 And he said also to the people, When you see a cloud rise out of the west, straightway you say, There comes a shower; and so it is.
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 And when you see the south wind blow, you say, There will be heat; and it comes to pass.
Bu lueti monanga phemo wu sude weka vevumuka, buna luetituba: “muini mawu ba wu ngolo”; buna bobo bueta bela.
56 You hypocrites, you can discern the face of the sky and of the earth; but how is it that you do not discern this time?
Bankua mayuya! Luzebi bakula bidimbu bi ntoto ayi bi diyilubuna buevi lunkambu bakudilanga thangu yayi e?
57 Yes, and why even of yourselves judge you not what is right?
—Bila mbi lunkambu sudikilanga, mu beno veka, mambu masonga e?
58 When you go with your adversary to the magistrate, as you are in the way, give diligence that you may be delivered from him; lest he hale you to the judge, and the judge deliver you to the officer, and the officer cast 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 shall not depart there, till you have paid the very last mite.
Muaki bukiedika ndikukamba wulendi totuka muna ko nate wela futazimbongo zioso zi tsuka.
