Luke 6
1 Kiba lumbu ki saba, Yesu wuviokila mu tsola yi ble. Minlonguki miandi mivela makundi ayi midia mawu.
Now on the second-first Sabbath while He was passing through the wheatfields, His disciples were plucking the ears and rubbing them with their hands to eat the grain.
2 Bafalisi bankaka bayuvula: —Bila mbi lulembo vangila mambu makanduku mu lumbu ki saba e?
And some of the Pharisees asked, "Why are you doing what the Law forbids on the Sabbath?"
3 Yesu wubavutudila: —Lutengi ko mambu Davidi kavanga mu thangu niandi ayi bakundi bandibaba mu nzala e?
"Have you never read so much as this," answered Jesus--"what David did when he and his followers were hungry;
4 Niandi wukota mu nzo Nzambi, wubonga mapha matambuku kuidi Nzambi ayi wudia mawu; wukabudila batu bobo baba yandi, ka diambu ko, kasia ba ko minsua bila banganga Nzambi kaka ziba minsua mu dia mawu.
how he entered the house of God and took and ate the Presented Loaves and gave some to his followers--loaves which none but the Priests are allowed to eat?"
5 Buna wubuela tuba diaka: —Muana mutu niandi Pfumu yi lumbu ki saba.
"The Son of Man," He added, "is Lord of the Sabbath also."
6 Mu lumbu kinkaka ki saba, Yesu wukota mu nzo yi lukutukunu ayi wutona longa. Muna muba mutu wumosi wuba koko ku lubakala kusioka.
On another Sabbath He had gone to the synagogue and was teaching there; and in the congregation was a man whose right arm was withered.
7 Minlongi mi mina ayi Bafalisi basunga Yesu mu tala kani wulendakumbelusa mu lumbu ki saba mu diambu babaka bila kioki balenda kumfundila.
The Scribes and the Pharisees were on the watch to see whether He would cure him on the Sabbath that they might be able to bring an accusation against Him.
8 Vayi Yesu bu kazaba mayindu mawu, buna wukamba mutu wuba koko kusioka: —Telama, yiza va ntuala batu boso! Mutu beni wutelama. Wuyiza vana.
He knew their thoughts, and said to the man with the withered arm, "Rise, and stand there in the middle." And he rose and stood there.
9 Buna Yesu wuba kamba: —Kiuvu kidi yama ki kuluyuvula: minsua midi mu vanga mambotevoti mambimbi mu lumbu ki saba e? Minsua midi mu vukisa luzingu voti mu kuluvonda e?
Then Jesus said to them, "I put it to you all whether we are allowed to do good on the Sabbath, or to do evil; to save a life, or to destroy it."
10 Buna wuzungisa thalu andi kuidi batu boso baba vana bosi wukamba mutu beni: —Nonuna koko kuaku. Mutu beni wunonuna koko ayi koko kuandi kubeluka.
And looking round upon them all He said to the man, "Stretch out your arm." He did so, and the arm was restored.
11 Minlongi mi mina ayi Bafalisi bafuema ngolo ayi bayuvasana bawu na bawu mu zaba diambu mbi balenda vangila Yesu.
But they were filled with madness, and began to discuss with one another what they should do to Jesus.
12 Muna bilumbu beni, Yesu wuyenda ku mbata mongo mu diambu di sambila. Builu bumvimba kasambidila.
About that time He went out on one occasion into the hill country to pray; and He remained all night in prayer to God.
13 Buisi buna bu kia, buna wutela minlonguki miandi ayi wusobula va khatitsikꞌawu kumi mi miodi. Wuba vana dizina di bamvuala.
When it was day, He called His disciples; and He selected from among them twelve, whom He also named Apostles.
14 Mazina mawu mawu mama: Simoni wuka bieka Piela ayi khombꞌandi Andele; Zaki, Yowani, Filipi, Balitelemi
These were Simon, to whom also He had given the name of Peter, and Andrew his brother; James and John; Philip and Bartholomew;
15 Matayi, Toma, Zaki muana Alife, Zimoni wuba mu dingumba di ba Zeloti,
Matthew and Thomas; James the son of Alphaeus and Simon called the Zealot;
16 Yuda muana zaki ayi Yuda Isikalioti, mutu wumvakula.
James's relative Judas, and Judas Iscariot who proved to be a traitor.
17 Bu kaba kuluka mongo va kimosi ayi bawu Yesu wutelama va ndimba. Minlonguki miandi miwombo miba vana va kimosi ayi nkangu wuwombo wu batu baba mu zunga kioso ki Yuda, ki Yelusalemi, mu mala ma Tile ayi Sidoni momo madi mu yenda nzadi.
With these He came down till He reached a level place, where there was a great crowd of His disciples, and a multitude of people from every part of Judaea, from Jerusalem, and from the sea-side district of Tyre and Sidon, who came to hear Him and to be cured of their diseases;
18 Baboso bayiza mu diambu di banwa ayi babelusu mu bimbevo biawu. Bobo bayamusu kuidi ziphevi zimbimbi babeluka.
and those who were tormented by foul spirits were cured.
19 Baboso batomba kunsimba bila lulendo lutotukila mu niandi luba lubelusa batu boso.
The whole crowd were eager to touch Him, because power went forth from him and cured every one.
20 Buna Yesu wutala minlonguki miandi ayi wuba kamba: —Khini kuidi beno minsukama bila beno luvuidi Kipfumu ki Nzambi.
Then fixing His eyes upon His disciples, Jesus said to them, "Blessed are you poor, because the Kingdom of God is yours.
21 Khini kuidi beno luidi buabu mu nzala bila luela yukutusu. Khini kuidi beno lulembu didi buabu bila luela seva.
"Blessed are you who hunger now, because your hunger shall be satisfied. "Blessed are you who now weep aloud, because you shall laugh.
22 Khini kuidi beno mu thangu bela ku lulenda, bu bela ku luloza, bu bela ku lufinga, bu bela ku lukuka, bu bela manga mazinga meno banga mazina mambimbi mu diambu di Muana Mutu.
"Blessed are you when men shall hate you and exclude you from their society and insult you, and spurn your very names as evil things, for the Son of Man's sake.
23 Mu lumbu kina buna luela mona khini ayi luela dumuka mu diambu di khini bila mfutu eno widi wunneni mu diyilu. Bila buawu bobo kuandi bakulu bawu bayamisila mimbikudi.
"Be glad at such a time, and dance for joy; for your reward is great in Heaven; for that is just the way their forefathers behaved to the Prophets!
24 Vayi mabienga kuidi beno zimvuama bila lukitambudidi yeno mbombolo.
"But alas for you rich men, because you already have your consolation!
25 Mabienga kuidi beno luidi bayukuta buabu bila luela mona nzala. Mabienga kuidi beno lulembu sevi buabu bila luela ba mu kaniki ayi luela dila.
"Alas for you who now have plenty to eat, because you will be hungry! "Alas for you who laugh now, because you will mourn and weep aloud!
26 Mabienga kuidi beno batu boso bu bela kuluniemisa bila buawu bobobakulu bawu bavangila mimbikudi mi luvunu.
"Alas for you when men shall all have spoken well of you; for that is just the way their forefathers behaved to the false Prophets!
27 —Vayi kuidi beno lunwa, ndikulukamba: luzola bambeni zienu; luvangila mambote bobo bakululendanga;
"But to you who are listening to me I say, Love your enemies; seek the welfare of those who hate you;
28 Lusakumuna bobo bakulusinganga; lusambidila bobo bakuluvangilanga mambu mambimbi.
bless those who curse you; pray for those who revile you.
29 Enati mutu wuzubidi mbata mu luvenga lumosi, buela ntambika luvenga lunkaka. Enati mutu wuzionini yunga kiaku, buna kadi ku nkandika kaziona kikhutu kiaku.
To him who gives you a blow on one side of the face offer the other side also; and to him who is robbing you of your outer garment refuse not the under one also.
30 Vana kuidi woso mutu wukulomba. Enati mutu wuzionini bima biaku, buna kadi kunlomba diaka biawu.
To every one who asks, give; and from him who takes away your property, do not demand it back.
31 Mambu momo lutidi baluvangila, mawu mamveno lufueti vangila bankaka.
And behave to your fellow men just as you would have them behave to you.
32 Enati lunzolanga kaka bobo bakuluzolanga buna mbi lumbaka e? Bila bankua masumu, mamvawu, beta zola bobo baku bazolanga.
"If you love those who love you, what credit is it to you? Why, even bad men love those who love them.
33 Enati lumvangila mamboti kuidi bobo bakuluvangilanga kaka mambote, buna mbi lumbaka? Bila bankua masumu mamvawu beta bu vanga.
And if you are kind to those who are kind to you, what credit is it to you? Even bad men act thus.
34 Enati lueta devisa kaka bobo balenda kuluvutudila, buna mbi lumbaka e? Bila bankua masumu mamvawu beta devisa bankua masumu yawu muingi baba vutudila.
And if you lend to those from whom you hope to receive, what credit is it to you? Even bad men lend to their fellows so as to receive back an equal amount.
35 Vayi beno bika luzola bambeni zienu, luba vangila mambote ayi ludevisa mu kambu ba mayindu keni bela kuluvutudila. Buna mfutu eno welaba wunneni, luela ba bana ba Nzambi yizangama bila niandi veka widi wumbote kuidi bobo bazabanga ko vutula matondo ayi kuidi batu bambimbi.
Nevertheless love your enemies, be beneficent; and lend without hoping for any repayment. Then your recompense shall be great, and you will be sons of the Most High; for He is kind to the ungrateful and wicked.
36 Bika luba batu bambote banga dise dieno widi wumbote.
Be compassionate just as your Father is compassionate.
37 —Lubika sambisa tala mamveno luedi sambusu. Lubika zengila batu nkanu tala mamveno luedi zengulu nkanu. Lulemvukila badienu muingi mamveno balulemvukila.
"Judge not, and you shall not be judged; condemn not, and you shall not be condemned; pardon, and you shall be pardoned;
38 Luvananga buna mamveno bela kuluvana. Bela kuluvana kuku kifuana, kuku kikomana, kinikunu ayi kinsapuka bila bela kulutezila luelo luela dedakana banga lolo lutezila.
give, and gifts shall be bestowed on you. Full measure, pressed, shaken down, and running over, shall they pour into your laps; for with the same measure that you use they shall measure to you in return."
39 Yesu wubuela bakamba diaka nongo yayi: —A buevi, phofo wulenda nata phofo yandi e? Buna bawu buadi balenda bua mu dibulu e?
He also spoke to them in figurative language. "Can a blind man lead a blind man?" He asked; "would not both fall into the ditch?
40 Nlonguki kasi viatuka ko nyiyisi andi vayi bu kameni kubuku bu mbote, buna boso kalenda dedakana banga nyiyisi andi.
There is no disciple who is superior to his teacher; but every one whose instruction is complete will be like his teacher.
41 Bila mbi wuntadila kiti kidi mu diesu di khombꞌaku vayi ngeyo vekawukadi mona tunga yidi mu diesu diaku e?
"And why look at the splinter in your brother's eye instead of giving careful attention to the beam in your own?
42 Voti, buevi wulenda kambila khombꞌaku ti: “A khomba bika ndibotula kiti kidi mu diesu diaku!” vayi ngeyo veka wukadi mona tunga yidi mu diesu diaku e? Mutu wu mayuya! Botula nteti tunga yidi mu diesu diaku buna bosi mawumona bumboti mu botula kidi kidi mu diesu di khombꞌaku.
How can you say to your brother, 'Brother, let me take that splinter out of your eye,' when all the while you yourself do not see the beam in your own eye? Vain pretender! take the beam out of your own eye first, and then you will see clearly to take the splinter out of your brother's eye.
43 —Bila kuisi ko nti wumbote wela buta makundi mambimbi ayi nti wumbimbi wulendi buta makundi mambote ko.
"There is no good tree that yields unsound fruit, nor again any unsound tree that yields good fruit.
44 Bila banzabilanga nti mu makundi mandi. Bila balendi vela ko makundima figi mu nti wu zitsendi ayi balendi vela ko makundi ma vinu mu nti wu zitsolokoto.
Every tree is known by its own fruit. It is not from thorns that men gather figs, nor from the bramble that they can get a bunch of grapes.
45 Mutu wumbote wuntotulanga mambote momo mambanga mu kiuka kimboteki ntimꞌandi. Mutu wumbimbi wuntotulanga mambimbi mambanga mu kiuka kimbimbi ki ntimꞌandi bila mutu wuntubanga mambu momo mafulukidi mu ntimꞌandi.
A good man from the good stored up in his heart brings out what is good; and an evil man from the evil stored up brings out what is evil; for from the overflow of his heart his mouth speaks.
46 —Bila mbi lukuthedilanga “Pfumu, Pfumu” vayi lukadi vanga mambu momo ndilembu lukambi e?
"And why do you all call me 'Master, Master' and yet not do what I tell you?
47 Ndieka kulumonisa buevi budedikinini woso mutu wowo wunkuiza kuidiminu, wulembu wi mambu ndilembu tubi ayi wulembu kumasadila.
Every one who comes to me and listens to my words and puts them in practice, I will show you whom he is like.
48 Niandi dedikini banga mutu wowo wutunga nzo. Wutimuna fondasio yimula ayi wutungila yawu va yilu matadi. Khuka yi nlangu bu yiyiza, yiyiza lumbama muna nzo beni ayi yisia yinikuna ko bila yitungu va yilu matadi.
He is like a man building a house, who digs and goes deep, and lays the foundation on the rock; and when a flood comes, the torrent bursts upon that house, but is unable to shake it, because it is securely built.
49 Vayi woso wulembu wi mambu mama ayi wunkambu sadila mambu beni dedikini banga mutu wutunga nzoꞌandi va mbata ntoto mu kambu fondasio. Khuka yi nlangu bu yiyiza lumbama mu nzo beni, yawu yitumbu bua, mfuilu yi nzo beni yiba yinneni.
But he who has heard and not practised is like a man who has built a house upon the soft soil without a foundation, against which the torrent bursts, and immediately it collapses, and terrible is the wreck and ruin of that house."
