Luke 8
1 Shortly after this He visited town after town, and village after village, proclaiming His Message and telling the Good News of the Kingdom of God. The Twelve were with Him,
Bosi Yesu wuyenda mu mavula ayi mu mala mu yamikisa ayi mu samuna Nsamu Wumboti wu Kipfumu ki Nzambi.
2 and certain women whom He had delivered from evil spirits and various diseases--Mary of Magdala, out of whom seven demons had come,
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 and Joanna the wife of Chuza, Herod's steward, and Susanna, and many other women, all of whom contributed to the support of Jesus and His Apostles.
Zana nketo Suza mutu wuba lundanga bima bi Elode, Suzani ayi bawombo bankaka baba kunsadisanga mu bima biawu.
4 And when a great crowd was assembling, and was receiving additions from one town after another, He spoke a parable to them.
Nkangu wuwombo wu batu wuyiza kutakana. Batu beni batotukila mu mavula mavombo. Buna Yesu wuba samunia nongo yayi:
5 "The sower," He said, "goes out to sow his seed; and as he sows, some of the seed falls by the way-side, and is trodden upon, or the birds of the air come and peck 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 Another part drops upon the rock, and after growing up it withers away for want of moisture.
Ndambu yinkaka yi zitheti yibua va matadi. Bu zimena, zivika yuma bilavasia ba mbozi ko.
7 Another part falls among the thorns, and the thorns grow up with it and stifle it.
Zinkaka zibua va zitsendi. Zitsendi ziyunduka va kimosi ayi mintuidilavayi zitsendi zifietikisa miawu.
8 But some of the seed falls into good ground, and grows up and yields a return of a hundred for one." While thus speaking, He cried aloud and said, "Listen, every one who has ears to listen with!"
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 The disciples proceeded to ask Him what this parable meant.
Minlonguki miandi minyuvula tsundu yi nongo yoyi.
10 "To you," He replied, "it is granted to know the secrets of the Kingdom of God; but all others are taught by parables, in order that they may see and yet not see, and may hear and yet not 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 The meaning of the parable is as follows. The seed is God's Message.
—Luwa tsundu yi nongo yayi: mbongo yawu mambu ma Nzambi
12 Those by the way-side are those who have heard, and then the Devil comes and carries away the Message from their hearts, lest they should believe 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 Those on the rock are the people who on hearing the Message receive it joyfully; but they have no root: for a time they believe, but when trial comes they fall away.
“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 That which fell among the thorns means those who have heard, but as they go on their way, the Message is stifled by the anxieties, wealth and gaieties of time, and they yield nothing in perfection.
“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 But as for that in the good ground, it means those who, having listened to the Message with open minds and in a right spirit, hold it fast, and patiently yield a return.
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 "When any one lights a lamp, he does not cover it with a vessel or hide it under a couch; he puts it on a lampstand, that people who enter the room may 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 There is nothing hidden, which shall not be openly seen; nor anything secret, which shall not be known and come into the light of day.
Bila mamo masuama mafueti ba va kiesila; mamo masueku mafueti zabakana ayi totuka va nganda.
18 Be careful, therefore, how you hear; for whoever has anything, to him more shall be given, and whoever has nothing, even that which he thinks he has shall be taken away from him."
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 came to Him His mother and His brothers, but could not get near Him for the crowd.
Ngudi yi Yesu ayi bakhomba bandi bayiza kuidi niandi vayi basianunga ko fikama va kaba mu diambu di nkangu wu batu.
20 But He was told, "Your mother and brothers are standing on the edge of the crowd, and want to see you."
Buna bankamba: —Ngudi aku ayi bakhomba ziaku badi ku nganda ayi batidi kumona.
21 "My mother and my brothers," He replied, "are these who hear God's Message and obey it."
Yesu wuba vutudila: —Bobo beti wanga mambu ma Nzambi ayi bansadilanga mawu bawu ngudiama ayi bakhomba ziama.
22 One day He went on board a boat--both He and his disciples; and He said to them, "Let us cross over to the other side of the Lake." So they set sail.
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 During the passage He fell asleep, and there came down a squall of wind on the Lake, so that the boat began to fill and they were in deadly peril.
Bu baba vuila, Yesu wuleka tulu. Zimbukila vuka kimosi kingolo kitonamu mbu, nlangu wutona wala mu nlungu ayi mu ziphasi miba.
24 So they came and woke Him, crying, "Rabbi, Rabbi, we are drowning." Then He roused Himself and rebuked the wind and the surging of the water, and they ceased and there was a 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 faith?" He asked them. But they were filled with terror and amazement, and said to one another, "Who then is this? for He gives orders both to wind and waves, 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 Then they put in to shore in the country of the Gerasenes, which lies opposite to Galilee.
Batula mu zunga ki basi Ngalasa, kitalani ayi ngalili
27 Here, on landing, He was met by one of the townsmen who was possessed by demons--for a long time he had not put on any garment, nor did he live in a house, but 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 cried out and fell down before Him, and said in a loud voice, "What have you to do with me, Jesus, Son of God Most High? Do not torture me, I beseech 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 already He had been commanding the foul spirit to come out of the man. For many a time it had seized and held him, and they had repeatedly put him in chains and fetters and kept guard over him, but he used to break the chains to pieces, and, impelled by the demon, to escape into the Desert.
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--because a great number of demons had entered into 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 Now there was a great herd of swine there feeding on the hill-side; and the demons begged Him to give them leave to go into them, and He gave them leave.
Nkangu wu zingulu wuba dia vana mbata mongo. Ziphevi zimbimbizileba Yesu muingi zikota mu zingulu beni. Buna wuba vana minsua.
33 The demons came out of the man and left him, and entered into the swine; and the herd rushed violently over the cliff into the Lake and were 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 The swineherds, seeing what had happened, fled and reported it both in town and country;
Mu thangu minsungi mi zingulu mimona mambu momo mavioka, mitina ayi miyenda kamba mambu beni ku divula ayi mu zitsola.
35 whereupon the people came out to see what had happened. They came to Jesus, and they found the man from whom the demons had gone out sitting at the feet of Jesus, clothed and in his right mind; and they were terrified.
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 And those who had seen it told them how the demoniac was cured.
Batu bobo bamona mambu beni baba kamba buevi bu vukila mutu wowo wuyamusu kuidi ziphevi zimbimbi.
37 Then the whole population of the Gerasenes and of the adjacent districts begged Him to depart from them; for their terror was great. So He went on board and returned.
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 But the man from whom the demons had gone out earnestly asked permission to go with Him; but He sent him away.
Mutu wowo wukulu mu ziphevi zimbimbi wuleba Yesu muingi kanlandakanavayi Yesu wumvutula ayi wunkamba:
39 "Return home," He said, "and tell there all that God has done for you." So he went and published through 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 Now when Jesus was returning, the people gave Him a warm welcome; for they had all been looking out for Him.
Bu kavutuka, nkangu wu batu wuyakula Yesu bila batu boso baba kumvingila.
41 Just then there came a man named Jair, a Warden of the Synagogue, who threw himself at the feet of Jesus, and entreated Him to come to his house;
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 for he had an only daughter, about twelve years old, and she was dying. And as He went, the dense throng crowded on 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 And a woman who for twelve years had been afflicted with haemorrhage--and had spent on doctors all she had, but none of them had been able to cure 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 came close behind Him and touched the tassel of His robe; and instantly her flow of blood stopped.
Wufikama ku manima ma Yesu ayi wusimba tsongi nledi andi. Vana vawu menga makangama.
45 "Who is it touched me?" Jesus asked. And when all denied having done so, Peter and the rest said, "Rabbi, the crowds are hemming you in and pressing on 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 "Some one has touched me," Jesus replied, "for I feel that power has gone out from me."
Vayi niandi wuvutula: —Mutu wumosi wutsimbidi bila nzebi ti lulendo lutotukidi mu munu.
47 Then the woman, perceiving that she had not escaped notice, came trembling, and throwing herself down at His feet she stated before all the people the reason why she had touched Him and how she was instantly cured.
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 "Daughter," said He, "your faith has cured you; go, and be at peace."
Yesu wunkamba: —A muanꞌama wunketo, minu kiaku kivukisidi, yenda mu ndembama.
49 While He was still speaking, some one came to the Warden of the Synagogue from his house and said, "Your daughter is dead; trouble the Rabbi no further."
Buna kamanisini ko tuba, mutu wuba kuidi pfumu nzo yilukutukunu wuyiza ayi wunkamba: —Muanꞌaku wunketo fuidi, bika buela yamisa nlongi.
50 Jesus heard the words and said to him, "Have no fear. Only believe, and she shall be restored to life."
Yesu bu kawa bobo, wukamba Yayilusi ti: —Bika mona boma vayi wilukila kaka bila muanꞌaku wunketo wela beluka.
51 So He came to the house, but allowed no one to go in with Him but Peter and 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 The people were all weeping aloud and beating their breasts for her; but He said, "Leave off wailing; for she is not dead, but asleep."
Batu boso badila ayi banionga mu diambu diandi ayi wuba kamba: —Bikanu dila bila kadi fua ko, tulu tuandi kalekidi.
53 And they jeered at Him, knowing that she was dead.
Batu baba kunsekinina bila bazabati fuidi.
54 He, however, took her by the hand and called aloud, "Child, awake!"
Buna Yesu wusimba koko ku muana ndumba ayi wutuba mu mbembo yingolo: —Muanꞌama, telama kuaku.
55 And her spirit returned, and instantly she stood up; and He directed them to give her some food.
Buna wufuluka ayi wutelama; Yesu wuvana minsua mu diambu bamvana bidia.
56 Her parents were astounded; but He forbad them to mention the matter to any one.
Zimbuta zi muana ndumba zisimina. Yesu wuba kandika babika kambakadi kuidi mutu wumosi mambu maviokidi.
