Luke 17
1 Yesu wukamba minlonguki miandi: —Ziphukumunu zilendi kambu ko vayi mabienga kuidi woso wuntotukidilanga ziawu.
And he said to his disciples, It is necessary for causes of trouble to come about, but unhappy is he by whom they come.
2 Bulutidi mboti bankanga ditadi diodi bannikinanga makundi mu tsingu, ku nloza mu mbu ayi mu diambu kabika vodisa, wumosi mu banababa, masumu.
It would be well for him if a great stone was put round his neck and he was dropped into the sea, before he made trouble for any of these little ones.
3 Diawu lulubuka! —Enati khombꞌaku vodidi masumu, buna bika wuntubidila. Ayi enati baludimavanga buna bika wunlemvukila.
Give attention to yourselves: if your brother does wrong, say a sharp word to him; and if he has sorrow for his sin, let him have forgiveness.
4 Ayi buba kuandi ti tsambudi di zikhumbu kavodidi masumu kuidi ngeyo mu lumbu kimosi, ayi tsambudi di zikhumbu kiza tubila ti: “mbaludi khadulu”. Buna bika wunlemvukila.
And if he does you wrong seven times in a day, and seven times comes to you and says, I have regret for what I have done; let him have forgiveness.
5 Mimvuala mikamba Pfumu Yesu: —Wutubuela minu.
And the twelve said to the Lord, Make our faith greater.
6 Buna Pfumu Yesu wuba vutudila: —Bukiedika ti minu kieno, ka diambu ko kidi banga buididi dikundi di mutalide, nganu lulenda tumina nti wuna ti: “Vuzuka ayi yenda kikuni mu mbu” buna muna yina thangu wufueti kulutumukina.
And the Lord said, If your faith was only as great as a grain of mustard seed, you might say to this tree, Be rooted up and planted in the sea; and it would be done.
7 —Nani buna luidi widi ayi kisadi kiandi kinkunanga voti kinsunganga bibulu, kikunkambanga bu kabedi ku zitsola ti: “yiza nsualu ayi vuanda nsualu va meza?”
But which of you, having a servant who is ploughing or keeping sheep, will say to him, when he comes in from the field, Come now and be seated and have a meal,
8 Keti kafueti kunkamba theti ti: “ndambila bidia, vuata minledi mi kisalu ayi thudila bidia va meza nate ndimanisa dia ayi nua; bosi ngeyo mamvaku wudia ayi wunua?”
Will he not say, Get a meal for me, and make yourself ready and see to my needs till I have had my food and drink; and after that you may have yours?
9 A Buevi pfumu kavueti vutudila kisadi kiandi matondo mu diambu kavengi bumboti momo katumunu e? Nana!
Does he give praise to the servant because he did what was ordered?
10 Buawu bobo kuidi beno mamveno. Bu luela mana vanga momo lutumunu buna bika luba tuba: “tuidi kaka bisadi bikambulu mfunu, tuvengi kaka momo tutumunu.”
In the same way, when you have done all the things which are given you to do, say, There is no profit in us, for we have only done what we were ordered to do.
11 Buna wulembo yendi ku Yelusalemi, Yesu wuviokila ku Samali ayi Ngalili.
And it came about that when they were on the way to Jerusalem he went through Samaria and Galilee.
12 Buna weka va difula di buala bumosi, kuna dikumi di batu babelabuazi bandengana. Thama batelimina
And when he went into a certain small town he came across ten men who were lepers, and they, keeping themselves at a distance,
13 ayi bayamikina mu mbembo yingolo ayi batuba: —A Pfumu Yesu, bika wutumona kiadi!
Said, in loud voices, Jesus, Master, have mercy on us.
14 Yesu bu kaba mona, buna wuba kamba: —Yendanu lukimonikisa kuidi banganga Nzambi. Mu thangu baba kuenda mu nzila, bazimbukila batumbulu vedila.
And when he saw them he said, Go, and let the priests see you. And, while they were going, they were made clean.
15 Wumosi mu bawu bu kamona ti belukidi, wuvutuka, wukembisa Nzambi mu ndinga yingolo.
And one of them, when he saw that he was clean, turning back, gave praise to God in a loud voice;
16 Wufukama va malu ma Yesu, wuyinika zizi kiandi va tsi ayi wumvutudila matondo. Vayi mutu beni wuba muisi Samali.
And, falling down on his face at the feet of Jesus, he gave the credit to him; and he was a man of Samaria.
17 Buna Yesu wunyuvula: —Keti dikumi divedusulungu e? A kuevi kuidi divua dinkaka?
And Jesus said, Were there not ten men who were made clean? where are the nine?
18 Buna kadi mutu kasi yindula ko mu vutuka ayi vutudila Nzambi matondo botula kaka nzenza yayi e?
Have not any of them come back to give glory to God, but only this one from a strange land?
19 Buna Yesu wunkamba: —Telama ayi yenda kuaku; minu kiaku kibelusidi.
And he said to him, Get up, and go on your way; your faith has made you well.
20 Bafalisi bayuvula Yesu mu diambu di zaba kani lumbu mbi kiela kuiza Kipfumu ki Nzambi. Niandi wuba vutudila: —Kipfumu ki Nzambi bu kiela kuiza kilendi monu mu meso ko.
And when the Pharisees put questions to him about when the kingdom of God would come, he gave them an answer and said, The kingdom of God will not come through observation:
21 Ayi balendi tuba ko: “Tala, kidi kuaku” voti “tala kidi kuna” bila luzaba mboti ti Kipfumu ki Nzambi kidi va khatitsikꞌeno.
And men will not say, See, it is here! or, There! for the kingdom of God is among you.
22 Bosi wukamba minlonguki: —Bilumbu biela kuiza biobi luela bela tsatu yi mona, banza lumbu kimosi ki muana mutu vayi lulendi kimona ko.
And he said to his disciples, The time will come when you will have a great desire to see one of the days of the Son of man, but you will not see it.
23 —Buna bela kulukamba: “Tala Klisto widi kuaku” voti “tala widikuna”. Buna kadi ba kuenda ayi kadi ku balandakana.
And if they say to you, See, it is there! or, It is here! do not go away, or go after them.
24 Bila banga lusiemo lueta totukila mu diyilu ayi lueta kienzudila tona tsongi yimosi nate tsongi yinkaka yi diyilu, buna buawu bobo buela bela muana mutu mu lumbu kiandi.
For as in a thunderstorm the bright light is seen from one end of the sky to the other, so will the Son of man be when his time comes.
25 Vayi kafueti tuama mona ziphasi ziwombo ayi kafueti tuama lozu kuidi batu ba tsungi yayi.
But first, he will have to undergo much and be put on one side by this generation.
26 —Mambu momo maba mu thangu yi Nowa mawu mela buela ba mu bilumbu bi Muana Mutu.
And as it was in the days of Noah, so will it be in the day of the Son of man.
27 Bila batu badia, banua, bakuelana, bakuedisa nate mu lumbu kioki Nowa kakota mu masuwa. Buna bosi nkuka yi nlangu yiyiza, ayi yimana ku babunga.
They were feasting and taking wives and getting married, till the day of the overflowing of the waters, when Noah went into the ark, and they all came to destruction.
28 Banga kuandi bubela mu bilumbu bi Loti: batu badia, banua, basumba, basumbisa, bakuna batungisa.
In the same way, in the days of Lot; they were feasting and trading, they were planting and building;
29 Vayi mvula yi mbazu ayi yi sufele yinoka ayi yimana ku babungamu lumbu kioki Loti katotuka mu Sodoma.
But on the day when Lot went out of Sodom, fire came down from heaven and destruction came on them all.
30 Buawu bobo buela bela mu lumbu kioki Muana mutu kela monika.
So will it be in the day of the revelation of the Son of man.
31 Mu lumbu kina, enati mutu widi ku yilu muanzu vayi widi ayi bima biandi mu nzo buna kabika kuluka muingi kenda bongi biawu; bobuawu woso wela batakana ku zitsola kabika buela vutuka ku nzo andi.
On that day, if anyone is on the roof of the house, and his goods are in the house, let him not go down to take them away; and let him who is in the field not go back to his house.
32 Bika lutebukila nketo wu Loti moyo.
Keep in mind Lot's wife.
33 Woso wela tomba vukisa luzingu luandi, wela luzimbisa vayi wosowela luzimbisa wela luvukisa.
If anyone makes an attempt to keep his life, it will be taken from him, but if anyone gives up his life, he will keep it.
34 Bukiedika ndikulukamba, muna builu buna, batu buadi bela lekamfulu yimosi, wumosi mu bawu wela botulu vayi wunkaka wela siala.
I say to you, In that night there will be two men sleeping in one bed, and one will be taken away and the other let go.
35 Baketo buadi bela tuta mfufu va kimosi, wumosi mu bawu wela botulu vayi wunkaka wela siala. [
Two women will be crushing grain together; one will be taken away and the other let go.
36 Babakala buadi bela ba ku zitsola, wumosi mu bawu wela botuluvayi wunkaka wela siala.]
37 Buna minlonguki minyuvula: —A Pfumu, kuevi kuela viokila mambu momo e? Niandi wuba vutudila: —Koso kuidi mvumbi, kuawu kuidi bibala.
And they, answering him, said, Where, Lord? And he said to them, Where the body is, there will the eagles come together.
