Luke 19
1 Wukota mu divula di Yeliko ayi wudisabuka.
Now when Iesus entred and passed through Iericho,
2 Tala mutu wumosi, dizina diandi Zakayi, wuba pfumu yi mimfutisi mi ziphaku ayi wuba nkua busina.
Beholde, there was a man named Zaccheus, which was the chiefe receiuer of the tribute, and he was riche.
3 Wuzola mona Yesu mu diambu kazaba buevi kadidi vayi kadia nunga ko mu diambu di nkangu wu batu bila ntela wu khufi wuba yandi.
And he sought to see Iesus, who hee should be, and coulde not for the preasse, because he was of a lowe stature.
4 Buna wuzawula kuna ntuala ayi wumota mu nti wu sikomole mu diambu kamona Yesu bila vana kafueti viokila.
Wherefore he ranne before, and climed vp into a wilde figge tree, that he might see him: for he should come that way.
5 Mu thangu Yesu katula vana buangu beni, wumbula meso, wummona ayi wunkamba: —Zakayi, kuluka nsualu bila buabu mu nzo aku mfueti vuanda.
And when Iesus came to the place, he looked vp, and saw him, and said vnto him, Zaccheus, come downe at once: for to day I must abide at thine house.
6 Zakayi wukuluka mu nsualu ayi wutambula Yesu mu khini.
Then he came downe hastily, and receiued him ioyfully.
7 Bu bamona bobo, batu boso baniunguta ayi batuba: —Tala, wedi leki ku nzo nkua masumu wowo!
And when all they sawe it, they murmured, saying, that hee was gone in to lodge with a sinfull man.
8 Vayi Zalayi wutelama wukamba Pfumu: —Tala, ndieka vana minsukami khatitsika yi bima biama ayi enati mutu ndivangila mbimbi mu kumvuna buna ndieka kumvutudila mu zikhumbu ziya.
And Zaccheus stood forth, and said vnto the Lord, Beholde, Lord, the halfe of my goods I giue to the poore: and if I haue taken from any man by forged cauillation, I restore him foure folde.
9 Buna Yesu wunkamba: —Pulusu yikotidi mu lumbu kiaki mu nzo yayi bila mutu wawu, mamvandi, widi muana wu Abalahami.
Then Iesus said to him, This day is saluation come vnto this house, forasmuch as hee is also become the sonne of Abraham.
10 Bila muana mutu wuyiza mu tomba ayi mu vukisa bobo baba bazimbala.
For the Sonne of man is come to seeke, and to saue that which was lost.
11 Nkangu bu wuba wa mambu mama, Yesu wubuela bakamba nongo yimosibila buna Yelusalemi difikimini ayi batu babanzila ti kipfumu ki Nzambi kieka kuiza nsualu.
And whiles they heard these thinges, hee continued and spake a parable, because hee was neere to Hierusalem, and because also they thought that the kingdom of God should shortly appeare.
12 Buna wuba kamba: —Mutu wumosi wu dikanda di luzitu wuyenda ku tsi yi thama muingi kenda bieku ntinu. Niandi mana bieku buna bosi kela vutuka ku tsi andi.
He saide therefore, A certaine noble man went into a farre countrey, to receiue for himselfe a kingdome, and so to come againe.
13 Buna wutumisa dikumi di bisadi biandi ayi wuvana kuidi kadikamutu sengo kimosi ki nolo. Bosi wuba kamba: “Bika lubutisa zimbongo ziazi nate ndiela vutuka.”
And he called his ten seruants, and deliuered them ten pieces of money, and sayd vnto them, Occupie till I come.
14 Vayi basi tsi andi banlenda. Diawu ku manima mandi bamfidisilamimvuala mu diambu mituba ti: “Tumengi ti mutu wawu katu yadila.”
Nowe his citizens hated him, and sent an ambassage after him, saying, We will not haue this man to reigne ouer vs.
15 Bu kamana bieku ntinu, wuvutuka ku tsi andi ayi wutumisa bisadibiobi kasia bikila zimbongo. Wuzola zabathalu yibutisa kadika mutu mu zimbongo zikatambula.
And it came to passe, when hee was come againe, and had receiued his kingdome, that he commanded the seruants to be called to him, to whome he gaue his money, that he might knowe what euery man had gained.
16 Wutheti wuyiza ayi wutuba: “A Pfumu, sengo kiaku ki nolo kibutidi dikumi di bisengo bi nolo.”
Then came the first, saying, Lord, thy piece hath encreased ten pieces.
17 Buna Pfumu beni wunkamba: “Sedi bumbote! Widi kisadi kimboti. Sumbu wubedi wukuikama mu mambu mafioti, diawu ndiveni minsua mu yadila dikumi di mavula.”
And he sayd vnto him, Well, good seruant: because thou hast bene faithfull in a very litle thing, take thou authoritie ouer ten cities.
18 Mutu wummuadi wuyiza ayi wutuba: “A Pfumu, sengo kiaku ki nolo kibutidi bisengo bitanu binkaka bi nolo.”
And the second came, saying, Lord, thy piece hath encreased fiue pieces.
19 Buna Pfumu wukamba kuidi kisadi kimmuadi: “Ngeyo ndiveni minsua mu yadila mavula matanu.”
And to the same he sayd, Be thou also ruler ouer fiue cities.
20 Wunkaka wuyiza ayi wutuba: “A Nlongi, tala sengo kiaku kinolo, ndiki sueka bumboti va dikolo di nledi.
So the other came, and sayd, Lord, beholde thy piece, which I haue laide vp in a napkin:
21 Bila minu tsisi ndimueni bila widi mutu wumosi mu thewa; ngeyo wunzionanga biobi wukambu sala, ngeyo wuntotanga bidia biobi wusia kuna ko.”
For I feared thee, because thou art a straight man: thou takest vp, that thou layedst not downe, and reapest that thou diddest not sowe.
22 Buna pfumu wunkamba: “Ndieka kusambisa mu mambu momo tubidi ngeyo veka widi kisadi kimbimbi! Zebi kuaku ki ndidi mutu wu thewa. Ndinzionanga biobindikambu sala ayi ndintotanga bidia biobi ndisia kuna ko.
Then he sayde vnto him, Of thine owne mouth will I iudge thee, O euill seruant. Thou knewest that I am a straight man, taking vp that I layd not downe, and reaping that I did not sowe.
23 Vayi bila mbi wukambu tudila zimbongo ziama ku banki muingi ndibakila ziawu ndandu mu thangu ndivutukidi e?”
Wherefore then gauest not thou my money into the banke, that at my coming I might haue required it with vantage?
24 Buna wukamba batu bobo baba vana ti: “Lunzionanu sengo kinolo ayi vananu kiawu mutu widi dikumi di bisengo bi nolo.”
And he sayd to them that stoode by, Take from him that piece, and giue it him that hath ten pieces.
25 Vayi batu beni bankamba: “A Pfumu, keti dikumi didi yandi e!”
(And they sayd vnto him, Lord, hee hath ten pieces.)
26 Buna niandi wuba vutudila: “Bukiedika ndikulukamba ti kuidi mutu wowo beki bela kumvanaayi kuidi mutu wowo kambulu, bela kunziona banza biobi bidi yandi.
For I say vnto you, that vnto all them that haue, it shalbe giuen: and from him that hath not, euen that he hath, shalbe taken from him.
27 Bosi lundatina vava bambeni ziama ziozi zimanga ti ndibika ku bayadila ayi luba vondila va meso mama.”
Moreouer, those mine enemies, which would not that I should reigne ouer them, bring hither, and slay them before me.
28 Bu kamana tuba mambu momo, Yesu wuba tuaminina ku ntuala mu kuenda ku Yelusalemi.
And when he had thus spoken, he went forth before, ascending vp to Hierusalem.
29 Buna beka nduka tula ku Betefange ayi ku Betani, ku ndambu mongo wu beta tedila “mongo minti mi Olive”, buna wutuma minlonguki miandi miodi
And it came to passe, when hee was come neere to Bethphage, and Bethania, besides the mount which is called the mount of Oliues, he sent two of his disciples,
30 wuba kamba: —Yendanu ku buala bobo butalini yeno. Beno kota muawu, buna malu monamuana phunda wukangama. Kadi mutu wumosi kavuandidiabu wawu ko. Luniangunawawu ayi lutuala wawu.
Saying, Goe ye to the towne which is before you, wherein, assoone as ye are come, ye shall finde a colte tied, whereon neuer man sate: loose him, and bring him hither.
31 Enati mutu wuluyuvudi: “bila mbi lulembo niangunina wawu e?” Buna lumvutudila ti: “Pfumu mfunu kavuidi wawu.”
And if any man aske you, why ye loose him, thus shall ye say vnto him, Because the Lord hath neede of him.
32 Bobo batumbu bu bayenda, bamona mambu moso boso kabakambila.
So they that were sent, went their way, and found it as he had sayd vnto them.
33 Bu baba nianguna muana phunda, buna batu bobo bavua wawu baba yuvula: —A bila mi luniangunina muana phunda wowo e?
And as they were loosing the colte, the owners thereof sayd vnto them, Why loose ye the colte?
34 Bawu bamvutula: —Pfumu mfunu kavuidi wawu.
And they sayd, The Lord hath neede of him.
35 Buna bawu nata kuidi Yesu. Bu bamana yala minledi miawu va mbata phunda bakumisa vawu Yesu.
So they brought him to Iesus, and they cast their garments on the colte, and set Iesus thereon.
36 Bu kaba vioka, mu nzila batu bayala minledi miawu mu nzila.
And as he went, they spred their clothes in the way.
37 Buna beka nduka tula, bu baba nengumuka mongo wu minti mi olive, nkangu woso wu minlonguki wumona khini, wukembisa Nzambi, mu ndinga yingolo, mu diambu di bikumu biobi mimona.
And when he was nowe come neere to the going downe of the mount of Oliues, the whole multitude of the disciples began to reioyce, and to prayse God with a loude voyce, for all the great workes that they had seene,
38 Bawu batuba ti: —Bika kasakumunu ntinu wowo wunkuizila mu dizina di Pfumu. Bika ndembama yiba ku diyilu ayi nkembo mu bibuangu bizangama!
Saying, Blessed be the King that commeth in the Name of the Lord: peace in heauen, and glory in the highest places.
39 Buna Bafalisi bankaka baba muna nkangu bakamba Yesu ti: —A nlongi, temina minlonguki miaku.
Then some of the Pharises of the companie sayd vnto him, Master, rebuke thy disciples.
40 Yesu wuba vutudila: —Bukiedika ndikulukamba, enati balembulu biyoko buna matadi mamayamikina.
But he answered, and sayd vnto them, I tell you, that if these should holde their peace, the stones would crie.
41 Mu thangu kafikama ayi divula, wumona divula ayi wudila mu diambudi divula beni.
And when he was come neere, he behelde the Citie, and wept for it,
42 Bosi wutuba: —Enati ngeyo mamvaku wedi zaba, kani ka lumbu kiaku kiaki mambu momo malenda kunatina ndembama! Vayi buabu masuekulu va meso maku.
Saying, O if thou haddest euen knowen at the least in this thy day those things, which belong vnto thy peace! but nowe are they hid from thine eyes.
43 Bila bilumbu biela ku kuizila, biobi bambeni ziaku ziela kaba mimbuingi, ziela kuzungidila, ziela kufietikisa mu zindambu zioso.
For the dayes shall come vpon thee, that thine enemies shall cast a trench about thee, and compasse thee round, and keepe thee in on euery side,
44 Ziela kuvindubula va ntoto va kimosi ayi bana baku badi yaku ayi kadi ditadi dimosi, mu ngeyo, dilendi siala va yilu ditadi dinkaka ko. Bila wusia zaba ko thangu yoyo Nzambi kayiza ku buminina.
And shall make thee euen with ye ground, and thy children which are in thee, and they shall not leaue in thee a stone vpon a stone, because thou knewest not that season of thy visitation.
45 Yesu wukota mu nzo Nzambi ayi wutona kuka batu bobo baba sumbisa bima, wuba kamba:
He went also into the Temple, and began to cast out them that solde therein, and them that bought,
46 —Didi disonama: nzo ama yela ba nzo yi lusambulu vayi beni lukitudi yawu suamunu ki mivi!
Saying vnto them, It is written, Mine house is the house of prayer, but ye haue made it a denne of theeues.
47 Bilumbu bioso Yesu wulonga mu nzo Nzambi. Zimbumu zi banganga Nzambi, minlongi mi mina ayi bakulutu ba batu batomba diluaku di kumvondisila.
And he taught dayly in the Temple. And the hie Priests and the Scribes, and the chiefe of the people sought to destroy him.
48 Vayi basia zaba ko busila bila batu boso banlandakana mu wa mambu mandi.
But they could not finde what they might doe to him: for all the people hanged vpon him when they heard him.
