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.
There were present at the same time, some that told Him of the Galileans, whose blood Pilate had mingled with their 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?
And Jesus answering said unto them, Do ye think that these were sinners above all the Galileans, because they suffered such things?
3 Buawu ko ndikulu kamba, vayi enati beno lukadi balula khadulubuna beno mamveno phila yimosi luela fuila.
I tell you, No: but, unless ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish.
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, upon whom the tower in Siloam fell, and killed them, do ye think that they were sinners above all the inhabitants in Jerusalem?
5 Nana ndikilukamba, vayi enati lukadi balula khadulu buna beno mamveno phila yimosi luela fuila.
I tell you, No: but, unless ye repent, ye shall all likewise 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.
And He spake this parable, A certain man had a fig-tree planted in his vineyard, and he came seeking 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?”
And he said to the vine-dresser, behold, these three years I come seeking fruit on this fig-tree, and find none: cut it down, why should it cumber 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.
And he said to him, Sir, let it alone this year also, till I dig about it, and lay dung to it:
9 Mananga wela buta makundi mu mvu wunkuiza. Enati buawu ko buna wela kuanga wawu.”
then perhaps it may bear fruit; if not, afterwards cut it down.
10 Yesu bu kaba longa, mu lumbu ki saba, mu nzo yimosi yi lukutukunu,
And when He was teaching in one of the synagogues on the sabbath-day,
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.
there was a woman that had a spirit of infirmity eighteen years, and was bowed together, and utterly unable to lift herself upright.
12 Yesu bu kammona, buna wuntela ayi wunkamba: —A nketo, kululu mu kimvevo kiaku!
And when Jesus saw her, He called her to Him, and said to her, Woman, thou art loosed from thine infirmity.
13 Buna wuntetika mioko ayi vana vawu wululama ayi wukembisa Nzambi.
And He laid his hands upon her; and immediately she was made straight, and 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 ruler of the synagogue, being provoked that Jesus had wrought a cure on the sabbath-day, said to the people, There are six days in which ye ought to work; on these therefore come and be healed, and 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 therefore answered him and said, Thou hypocrite, does not any of you on the sabbath loose his ox or his ass from the stall and lead him away to watering?
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?
And might not this woman, a daughter of Abraham, whom Satan hath bound these eighteen years, be loosed from this bond 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.
Upon his saying this, all his adversaries were ashamed: but the people rejoiced for all the glorious things that were done by Him.
18 Buna Yesu wukamba: —Mu mbi mu dedikini kipfumu ki Nzambi ayi mu mbi ndenda ku kidedikisila e?
Then said He, To what is the kingdom of God like, and to what shall I compare it?
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 grain of mustard-seed, which a man took and sowed in his garden, and it grew, and became a great tree, and the birds of the air lodged in it's boughs.
20 Buna wubuela diaka: —Mu mbi ndenda dedikisila Kipfumu ki Nzambi e?
And again He said, To what shall 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 leaven, which a woman took and put into three measures of meal, till the whole was leavened.
22 Yesu wuviokila mu mavula ayi mu mala; wulonga muawu bu kalandakana nzilꞌandi mu kuenda ku Yelusalemi.
And he went through the cities and villages teaching, as He journeyed towards Jerusalem.
23 Buna mutu wumosiwunyuvula: —A pfumu, bati buna batu bafioti kuandi bela vuka e?
And one said to Him, Lord, are there but few that shall be saved?
24 Buna wuba vutudila: —Bika lunuana mu kotila mu luelo wufioti bila ndikulukambabawombo bela tomba mu kota vayi bela nunga ko.
But He said unto them, Strive to enter in at the strait gate; for I tell you, many will desire to enter in, and shall not be able.
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?”
When the master of the house shall have risen up and shut the door, and ye begin to stand without and knock at the door saying, Lord, Lord, open unto us; and He shall answer and say to you, I know you not, whence ye are:
26 —Buna luela tuba: “Keti beto tudia ayi tunua yaku va kimosi. Keti ngeyo wulonga mu zinzila zietu…”
then shall ye begin to say, We have eaten and drank in thy presence,
27 Buna wela vutula: “Bukiedika ndikulukamba ndisi zaba ko kuevi lubedi. Luthatukila beno boso bisadi bi mambimbi.”
and thou hast taught in our streets, But He will say, I tell you, I know you not, whence ye are; depart from me all ye workers of iniquity:
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.
and there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth, when ye see Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob, and all the prophets in the kingdom of God, and you yourselves shut out.
29 Batu bela ba ku Esite ayi ku Wesite, ku Node ayi ku Sude bela vuanda mu Kipfumu ki Nzambi.
Yea they shall come from the east, and from the west, and from the north, and from the south, and shall sit down in the kingdom of God.
30 Buna tala vadi batsuka bela ba batheti ayi batheti bela ba batsuka.
And behold, there are some last who shall be first, and there are first that shall be last.
31 Mu lumbu kina, Bafalisi bayiza ayi bankamba: —Katuka vava ayi yenda kuaku bila Elode tidi kuvonda.
At the same time came some of the pharisees, and said to Him, Go out and depart hence, for Herod intends to kill thee.
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.
And He said to them, Go, tell that fox, Behold, I cast out demons and perform cures today and to-morrow; and in a little while I am to be perfected:
33 Vayi mfueti diata buabu mbazi ayi lumbu kina bila buisi fuana kombikudi kafuila ku nganda yi Yelusalemi.”
but I must procede to-day and to-morrow and the following; for it cannot be supposed that a prophet should be cut off but in 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!
O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, that killest the prophets and stonest them that are sent unto thee, how often would I have gathered thy children, as a hen gathers her brood under her wings, and ye would not?
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.
Behold, your house is left unto you desolate: and I assure you ye shall not see me again till the time come when ye shall say, Blessed is He that cometh in the name of the Lord.
