Luke 13
1 Mu thangu yina ndambu yi batu bankaka baba vana, bankamba mambu momo mavioka momo matedi basi Ngalili bobo Pilatu kavondusu bu kasobikisamenga mawu ayi makaba mawu.
At that time, some people there told him about the Galileans whose blood Pilate mixed with their own sacrifices.
2 Yesu wuba vutudila: —Benu lumbanza ti basi Ngalili bobo bamueni ziphasi ziphila yoyo mu diambu babedi bankua masumu viokila basi Ngalili bankaka e?
Jesus answered and said to them, “Do you think that these Galileans were more sinful than all the other Galileans because they suffered in this way?
3 Buawu ko ndikulu kamba, vayi enati beno lukadi balula khadulubuna beno mamveno phila yimosi luela fuila.
No, I tell you. But if you do not repent, all of you will perish in the same way.
4 Voti kumi dinana di batu bobo babuilu banga ki Silowe, bu kibavonda, beno lumbanza ti bawu baluta ba batu bambimbi viokilabatu bobo bamvuandanga ku Yelusalemi?
Or those eighteen people in Siloam on whom a tower fell and killed them, do you think they were worse sinners than other men in Jerusalem?
5 Nana ndikilukamba, vayi enati lukadi balula khadulu buna beno mamveno phila yimosi luela fuila.
No, I say. But if you do not repent, all of you will also perish.”
6 Buna, wuba kamba nongo yayi: —Mutu wumosi wuba ayi nti andi wu figi wukunu mu ndimꞌandiyi vinu. Wuyiza tomba muawu makundi vayi kasia baka ko.
Jesus told this parable, “Someone had a fig tree planted in his vineyard and he came and looked for fruit on it but found none.
7 Buna wukamba kisadi kiba nsalanga mu ndima beni: “Tala, wawu mvu wuntatu ndimeni tombila makundi ma figi mu nti wawu vayi kadidikundi ndibakanga ko. Kuanga kuandi wawu, bila mbi wulembu bungila kuandi buangu ki ntoto mu phamba e?”
The man said to the gardener, 'Look, for three years I came and tried to find fruit on this fig tree and found none. Cut it down. Why let it waste the ground?'
8 Vayi kisadi beni kimvutudila: “A pfumu, bika wutadidila diaka wawu mvu wawu nate ndiela mana balula ntoto muyenda nti ayi ndiela mutula mbozi.
The gardener answered and said, 'Leave it alone this year while I dig around it and put manure on it.
9 Mananga wela buta makundi mu mvu wunkuiza. Enati buawu ko buna wela kuanga wawu.”
If it bears fruit next year, good; but if it does not, cut it down!'”
10 Yesu bu kaba longa, mu lumbu ki saba, mu nzo yimosi yi lukutukunu,
Now Jesus was teaching in one of the synagogues during the Sabbath.
11 tala, nketo wumosi wuba muna wuba ayi yimbimbi yi kimbevo mu tezo ki kumi dinana di mimvu. Nketo beni wuba wukomvama; kadi baka bu luliminina.
Behold, a woman was there who for eighteen years had a spirit of weakness. She was bent over and was not able to straighten up completely.
12 Yesu bu kammona, buna wuntela ayi wunkamba: —A nketo, kululu mu kimvevo kiaku!
When Jesus saw her, he called to her and said, “Woman, you are freed from your weakness.”
13 Buna wuntetika mioko ayi vana vawu wululama ayi wukembisa Nzambi.
He placed his hands on her, and immediately she was straightened up and she glorified God.
14 Vayi pfumu yi nzo yi lukutukunu wufuema mu diambu di Yesukabelusa nketo beni mu lumbu ki saba; buna wubaluka kuidi nkangu ayi wutuba: —Bilumbu bi kisalu bidi bisambanu; luizanga mu belusu mu bilumbu bina vayi bika mu lumbu ki saba.
But the synagogue ruler was indignant because Jesus had healed on the Sabbath. So the ruler answered and said to the crowd, “There are six days in which it is necessary to work. Come and be healed then, not on the Sabbath day.”
15 Vayi Pfumu wumvutudila: —Luidi bankua mayuya! Kadika mutu mu beno kaniangunanga ko ngombi andi voti mpundꞌandi, mu dikulu mu lumbu ki saba ayi kuzinatangamu kuzi nuikina e?
The Lord answered him and said, “Hypocrites! Does not each of you untie his ox or his donkey from the stall and lead it to drink on the Sabbath?
16 Ayi nketo wawu widi muana wu nketo wu Abalahami. Tala kumi dinana di mimvu dimeni vioka tona Satana kankangila, buna disi fuana ko mu ku nnianguna mu lumbu ki saba e?
So too this daughter of Abraham, whom Satan bound for eighteen long years, should her bonds not be untied on the Sabbath day?”
17 Bu kaba tuba mambu momo buna bambeni bandi zioso zifua tsonivayi nkangu woso wumona khini mu diambu di mambu momo ma nkembo momo mavangimina mu niandi.
As he said these things, all those who opposed him were ashamed, but the whole crowd was rejoicing over all the glorious things he did.
18 Buna Yesu wukamba: —Mu mbi mu dedikini kipfumu ki Nzambi ayi mu mbi ndenda ku kidedikisila e?
Then Jesus said, “What is the kingdom of God like, and what can I compare it to?
19 Kidedikini banga dikundi di mutalide di loza mutu mu tsolꞌandi. Dikundi beni diyunduka, dikituka nti. Zinuni ziyiza tungila madianza mawu mu bitafi biandi.
It is like a mustard seed that a man took and threw into his garden, and it grew into a big tree, and the birds of heaven built their nests in its branches.”
20 Buna wubuela diaka: —Mu mbi ndenda dedikisila Kipfumu ki Nzambi e?
Again he said, “To what can I compare the kingdom of God?
21 Kidedikini banga luvi lubonga nketo, wusobikisa luawu mu bitezo bitatu bi falina nate yimana funa.
It is like yeast that a woman took and mixed with three measures of flour until it spread through all the flour.”
22 Yesu wuviokila mu mavula ayi mu mala; wulonga muawu bu kalandakana nzilꞌandi mu kuenda ku Yelusalemi.
Then Jesus traveled through the towns and villages, teaching and making his way toward Jerusalem.
23 Buna mutu wumosiwunyuvula: —A pfumu, bati buna batu bafioti kuandi bela vuka e?
Someone said to him, “Lord, are only a few people to be saved?” So he said to them,
24 Buna wuba vutudila: —Bika lunuana mu kotila mu luelo wufioti bila ndikulukambabawombo bela tomba mu kota vayi bela nunga ko.
“Struggle to enter through the narrow door, because, I say to you, many will want to enter, but will not be able to enter.
25 —Pfumu yi nzo bu kela telama ayi bu kela zibika muelo, enati ku nganda luela batakana, luela kokuta ayi luela leba: “A Pfumu, wutuzibudila”. Buna niandi wela ku luvutudila: “Ndisi zaba ko kuevi lubedi e?”
Once the owner of the house gets up and locks the door, then you will stand outside and pound the door and say, 'Lord, Lord, let us in.' He will answer and say to you, 'I do not know you or where you are from.'
26 —Buna luela tuba: “Keti beto tudia ayi tunua yaku va kimosi. Keti ngeyo wulonga mu zinzila zietu…”
Then you will say, 'We ate and drank in front of you and you taught in our streets.'
27 Buna wela vutula: “Bukiedika ndikulukamba ndisi zaba ko kuevi lubedi. Luthatukila beno boso bisadi bi mambimbi.”
But he will reply, 'I say to you, I do not know where you are from. Get away from me, you evildoers!'
28 Kuna kuela ba bidilu ayi nkuetosolo wu meno mu thangu luela mona Abalahami, Isaki ayi Yakobi ayi mimbikudi mioso mu Kipfumu ki Nzambi, vayi, benu luela lozo ku nganda.
There will be crying and the grinding of teeth when you see Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, and all the prophets in God's kingdom, but you are thrown out.
29 Batu bela ba ku Esite ayi ku Wesite, ku Node ayi ku Sude bela vuanda mu Kipfumu ki Nzambi.
They will come from the east, west, north, and south, and be seated at a table in the kingdom of God.
30 Buna tala vadi batsuka bela ba batheti ayi batheti bela ba batsuka.
Know this, those who are least important will be first, and those who are most important will be last.”
31 Mu lumbu kina, Bafalisi bayiza ayi bankamba: —Katuka vava ayi yenda kuaku bila Elode tidi kuvonda.
Shortly after, some Pharisees came and said to him, “Go and leave here because Herod wants to kill you.”
32 Vayi Yesu wuba vutudila: —Yendanu lukamba mbaku wuna ti: “Tala ndilembo totula ziphevi zimbimbi ayi buabu ndilembu belusa bambevo. Vayi mbazi ayi lumbu kintatu mbanisini kuama.
Jesus said, “Go and tell that fox, 'Look, I cast out demons and perform healings today and tomorrow, and the third day I will reach my goal.'
33 Vayi mfueti diata buabu mbazi ayi lumbu kina bila buisi fuana kombikudi kafuila ku nganda yi Yelusalemi.”
In any case, it is necessary for me to continue on today, tomorrow, and the following day, since it is not acceptable to kill a prophet away from Jerusalem.
34 —A Yelusalemi! A Yelusalemi, divula dimvondanga mimbikudi ayi minlozilanga matadi bobo bakufidisilanga. Zikhumbu zikua ndizola kutikisilabana baku banga tsusu bu kankutikisilanga bana bandi ku tsi mavavi mandi vayi lumanga kuenu!
Jerusalem, Jerusalem, who kills the prophets and stones those sent to you. How often I desired to gather your children the way a hen gathers her brood under her wings, but you did not desire this.
35 Vayi tala beka kuluyekudila nzo eno. Ndikulukamba ti lulendi buela kumbona ko nate luela tuba: Bika kasakumunu mutu wowo wunkuizila mu dizina di Pfumu.
See, your house is abandoned. I say to you, you will not see me until you say, 'Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord.'”
