Luke 19
1 Wukota mu divula di Yeliko ayi wudisabuka.
And Jesus entered and passed through Jericho.
2 Tala mutu wumosi, dizina diandi Zakayi, wuba pfumu yi mimfutisi mi ziphaku ayi wuba nkua busina.
And, behold, there was a man named Zacchaeus, who was the chief among the tax collectors, and he was rich.
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 Jesus who he was; and could not for the crowd, because he was little of stature.
4 Buna wuzawula kuna ntuala ayi wumota mu nti wu sikomole mu diambu kamona Yesu bila vana kafueti viokila.
And he ran before, and climbed up upon a sycamore tree to see him: for he was to pass 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 Jesus came to the place, he looked up, and saw him, and said to him, Zacchaeus, make haste, and come down; for to day I must abide at thy house.
6 Zakayi wukuluka mu nsualu ayi wutambula Yesu mu khini.
And he made haste, and came down, and received him joyfully.
7 Bu bamona bobo, batu boso baniunguta ayi batuba: —Tala, wedi leki ku nzo nkua masumu wowo!
And when they saw it, they all murmured, saying, That he was gone to be guest with a man that is a sinner.
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 Zacchaeus stood, and said to the Lord; Behold, Lord, the half of my goods I give to the poor; and if I have taken any thing from any man by false accusation, I restore him fourfold.
9 Buna Yesu wunkamba: —Pulusu yikotidi mu lumbu kiaki mu nzo yayi bila mutu wawu, mamvandi, widi muana wu Abalahami.
And Jesus said to him, This day is salvation come to this house, because he also is a son of Abraham.
10 Bila muana mutu wuyiza mu tomba ayi mu vukisa bobo baba bazimbala.
For the Son of man is come to seek and to save 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 as they heard these things, he added and spoke a parable, because he was near to Jerusalem, and because they thought that the kingdom of God should immediately appear.
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 said therefore, A certain nobleman went into a far country to receive for himself a kingdom, and to return.
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 servants, and delivered them ten pounds, and said to them, Occupy till I come.
14 Vayi basi tsi andi banlenda. Diawu ku manima mandi bamfidisilamimvuala mu diambu mituba ti: “Tumengi ti mutu wawu katu yadila.”
But his citizens hated him, and sent a message after him, saying, We will not have this man to reign over us.
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 pass, that when he had returned, having received the kingdom, then he commanded these servants to be called to him, to whom he had given the money, that he might know how much every man had gained by trading.
16 Wutheti wuyiza ayi wutuba: “A Pfumu, sengo kiaku ki nolo kibutidi dikumi di bisengo bi nolo.”
Then came the first, saying, Lord, thy pound hath gained ten pounds.
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 said to him, Well, thou good servant: because thou hast been faithful in a very little, have thou authority over 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 pound hath gained five pounds.
19 Buna Pfumu wukamba kuidi kisadi kimmuadi: “Ngeyo ndiveni minsua mu yadila mavula matanu.”
And he said likewise to him, Be thou also over five cities.
20 Wunkaka wuyiza ayi wutuba: “A Nlongi, tala sengo kiaku kinolo, ndiki sueka bumboti va dikolo di nledi.
And another came, saying, Lord, behold, here is thy pound, which I have kept laid up 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 an austere man: thou takest up what thou didst not lay down, and reapest what thou didst not sow.
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.
And he saith to him, Out of thy own mouth will I judge thee, thou wicked servant. Thou knewest that I was an austere man, taking up what I laid not down, and reaping what I did not sow:
23 Vayi bila mbi wukambu tudila zimbongo ziama ku banki muingi ndibakila ziawu ndandu mu thangu ndivutukidi e?”
Why then gavest thou not my money into the bank, that at my coming I might have required my own with interest?
24 Buna wukamba batu bobo baba vana ti: “Lunzionanu sengo kinolo ayi vananu kiawu mutu widi dikumi di bisengo bi nolo.”
And he said to them that stood by, Take from him the pound, and give it to him that hath ten pounds.
25 Vayi batu beni bankamba: “A Pfumu, keti dikumi didi yandi e!”
( And they said to him, Lord, he hath ten pounds.)
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 to you, That to every one who hath shall be given; and from him that hath not, even what he hath shall be taken away from him.
27 Bosi lundatina vava bambeni ziama ziozi zimanga ti ndibika ku bayadila ayi luba vondila va meso mama.”
But those my enemies, who would not that I should reign over them, bring here, 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 before, going up to Jerusalem.
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 pass, when he had come near to Bethphage and Bethany, at the mount called the mount of Olives, 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, Go ye into the village opposite you; in which at your entering ye shall find a colt tied, on which yet never man sat: loose him, and bring him here.
31 Enati mutu wuluyuvudi: “bila mbi lulembo niangunina wawu e?” Buna lumvutudila ti: “Pfumu mfunu kavuidi wawu.”
And if any man shall ask you, Why do ye loose him? thus shall ye say to him, Because the Lord hath need of him.
32 Bobo batumbu bu bayenda, bamona mambu moso boso kabakambila.
And they that were sent went, and found even as he had said to 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 colt, its owners said to them, Why loose ye the colt?
34 Bawu bamvutula: —Pfumu mfunu kavuidi wawu.
And they said, The Lord hath need of him.
35 Buna bawu nata kuidi Yesu. Bu bamana yala minledi miawu va mbata phunda bakumisa vawu Yesu.
And they brought him to Jesus: and they cast their garments upon the colt, and they set Jesus on it.
36 Bu kaba vioka, mu nzila batu bayala minledi miawu mu nzila.
And as he went, they spread 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 had come near, even now at the descent of the mount of Olives, the whole multitude of the disciples began to rejoice and praise God with a loud voice for all the mighty works that they had seen;
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 cometh in the name of the Lord: peace in heaven, and glory in the highest.
39 Buna Bafalisi bankaka baba muna nkangu bakamba Yesu ti: —A nlongi, temina minlonguki miaku.
And some of the Pharisees from among the multitude said to him, Master, rebuke thy disciples.
40 Yesu wuba vutudila: —Bukiedika ndikulukamba, enati balembulu biyoko buna matadi mamayamikina.
And he answered and said to them, I tell you that, if these should hold their peace, the stones would immediately cry out.
41 Mu thangu kafikama ayi divula, wumona divula ayi wudila mu diambudi divula beni.
And when he had come near, he beheld the city, and wept over 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, If thou hadst known, even thou, at least in this thy day, the things which belong to thy peace! but now they are hid from thy eyes.
43 Bila bilumbu biela ku kuizila, biobi bambeni ziaku ziela kaba mimbuingi, ziela kuzungidila, ziela kufietikisa mu zindambu zioso.
For the days shall come upon thee, that thy enemies shall cast a trench about thee, and surround thee, and keep thee in on every 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 lay thee even with the ground, and thy children within thee; and they shall not leave in thee one stone upon another; because thou knewest not the time of thy visitation.
45 Yesu wukota mu nzo Nzambi ayi wutona kuka batu bobo baba sumbisa bima, wuba kamba:
And he went into the temple, and began to cast out them that sold in it, and them that bought;
46 —Didi disonama: nzo ama yela ba nzo yi lusambulu vayi beni lukitudi yawu suamunu ki mivi!
Saying to them, It is written, My house is the house of prayer: but ye have made it a den of thieves.
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 daily in the temple. But the chief priests and the scribes and the chief of the people sought to destroy him,
48 Vayi basia zaba ko busila bila batu boso banlandakana mu wa mambu mandi.
And could not find what they might do: for all the people were very attentive to hear him.
