Luke 16
1 And He also said to His disciples, “A certain man was rich, who had a steward, and he was accused to him as scattering his goods;
Yesu wukamba minlonguki miandi: —Mutu wumosi wuba busina buwombo, wuba ayi dikalaka diandi, vayi batu bayiza funda dikalaka diandi ti niandi wufukisidi busina buandi.
2 and having called him, he said to him, What [is] this I hear about you? Render the account of your stewardship, for you may not be steward any longer.
Buna pfumu andi bu kantumisa buna wunyuvula: “mambu mbi momondilembu wanga mu diambu diaku e? Vumbula kipholo mu zaba bueviwukebidi kisalu kiaku bila wulendi buela ba nkebi wu bima biama ko.”
3 And the steward said in himself, What will I do, because my lord takes away the stewardship from me? I am not able to dig, I am ashamed to beg—
Buna nkebi wu bima wuyindula mu ntimꞌandi: “diambu mbi ndiekavanga e? Bila buabu pfumu ama weka kumbotula, ndilendi buela kebangabima biandi ko. Ndilendi salanga ntoto ko bila ndisi ko ngolo; tsoni mu kuenda lombanga.
4 I have known what I will do, that, when I may be removed from the stewardship, they may receive me to their houses.
Buabu mbakudi diambu mbi ndieka vanga muingi batu baba kundiakulanga mu zinzo ziawu bu bela kumbotula mu kisalu.”
5 And having called near each one of his lord’s debtors, he said to the first, How much do you owe to my lord?
Vana vawu wutumisa batu boso baba zipholo kuidi pfumu andi. Wuyuvula wutheti: “Kikua fueti futa pfumu ama e?”
6 And he said, One hundred baths of oil; and he said to him, Take your bill, and having sat down write fifty.
Mutu beni wumvutudila ti: “Makumuandi ma mangungulu ma mafuta.” Nkebi beni wunkamba: “tamla nkanda wowo wusonika, wawu vuanda vovo, tula nsuala ayi sonikati dikumi di mangungulu.”
7 Afterward to another he said, And you, how much do you owe? And he said, One hundred cors of wheat; and he says to him, Take your bill, and write eighty.
Bosi wukamba wunkaka: “Ngeyo kikua fueti futa e?” Niandi wumfutudila ti: “Zikhama zitanu zi zitsaku zi ble.” Buna nkebi beni wunkamba mutu beni ti: “bonga nkanda wowo wusonika ayi sonika zikhama ziya.”
8 And the lord commended the unrighteous steward that he did prudently, because the sons of this age are more prudent than the sons of the light in respect to their generation. (aiōn g165)
Buna pfumu beni wuniemisa nkebi wowo wukambu kiedika mu philadiela diandi di kasadila. Bila, mu mambu mawu veka, batu ba thanguyayi balutidi bana ba kiezila mu diela. (aiōn g165)
9 And I say to you, make to yourselves friends out of the wealth of unrighteousness, that when you may fail, they may receive you into the continuous dwelling places. (aiōnios g166)
Ayi minu ndikulukamba ti mboti lusadila kimvuama ki ntoto muingi lubaka bakundi mu diambu dieno veka muingi mu thangu kiela manababa kuluyakula mu zinzo zi mvu ka mvu. (aiōnios g166)
10 He who is faithful in the least, [is] also faithful in much; and he who in the least [is] unrighteous, is also unrighteous in much;
Woso mutu widi wukuikama mu bima bifioti buna widi diaka wukuikama mu bima biwombo. Ayi woso kambulu wukuikama mu bima bifioti kalendi ba wukuikama ko mu bima binneni.
11 if, then, in the unrighteous wealth you did not become faithful—who will entrust to you the true?
Enati lusi ko bakuikama mu kimvuama kikambulu kisonga buna nani wela kuluyekudila kimvuama kikiedika e?
12 And if in the other’s you did not become faithful—who will give to you your own?
Enati luisi ko bakuikama mu bima bingana buna nani wela kuluvana bima bieno veka e?
13 No servant is able to serve two lords, for either he will hate the one, and he will love the other; or one he will hold to, and of the other he will be heedless; you are not able to serve God and wealth.”
—Kuisi ko kisadi kilenda sadila bapfumu buadi. Bila bukiedika wela lenda pfumu yimosi ayi wela zola pfumu yinkaka. Voti wela kiyekulakuidi pfumu yitheti ayi wela lenza pfumu yinkaka. Lulendi sadila Nzambi ayi zimbongo va kimosi ko.
14 And also the Pharisees, being lovers of money, were hearing all these things, and were deriding Him,
Buna bamana wa mambu momo, Bafalisi babazolanga zimbongo basekinina Yesu.
15 and He said to them, “You are those declaring yourselves righteous before men, but God knows your hearts; because that which is high among men [is] abomination before God;
Vayi niandi wuba kamba: —Benu luidi batu beta zola kukimonikisa basonga va meso ma batu vayi Nzambi zebi mintima mieno. Bila mambu momo mammonika ma mfunuva meso ma batu madi mambu maphamba va meso ma Nzambi.
16 the Law and the Prophets [are] until John; since then the good news of the Kingdom of God is proclaimed, and everyone presses into it;
—Tsungi yi Mina ayi yi mimbikudi yiba nate mu thangu yi Yowani. Tona thangu yina Nsamu Wumbote wu Kipfumu ki Nzambi wulembu samunu ayi kadika mutu wulembo sadilanga zingolo ziandi mu kota muawu.
17 and it is easier for the heaven and the earth to pass away, than one tittle to fall of the Law.
Muaki kadi kuandi phasi diyilu ayi ntoto mu vioka vayi kadi sonu kimosi ki Mina kilendi botulu ko.
18 Everyone who is sending his wife away, and marrying another, commits adultery; and everyone who is marrying her sent away from a husband commits adultery.
—Woso wumbotula nketo andi ayi kuedidi nketo wunkaka vengi kitsuza ayi woso wunkuela nketo wubotalo kuidi bakala diandi vengi kitsuza.
19 And—a certain man was rich, and was clothed in purple and fine linen, making merry sumptuously every day,
—Kuba mutu wumosi wu kimvuama, wuba vuatanga minledi mintalu ayi mimboti. Kadika lumbu, luzingu luandi luba lu minyengo.
20 and there was a certain poor man, by name Lazarus, who was laid at his porch, full of sores,
Nsukami wumosi, dizina diandi Lazale wuba lekanga vana muelonzo yi nkua kimvuama. Nitu andi yoso yiba ziphuta-ziphuta.
21 and desiring to be filled from the crumbs that are falling from the table of the rich man; indeed, also the dogs, coming, were licking his sores.
Wuba mayindu ma yukutanga mu bitsiadisila biobi biba dodukanga mu thangu mutu wu busina kaba dianga va meza. Vayi zimbua ziba kuiza vendanga ziphuta ziandi.
22 And it came to pass, that the poor man died, and that he was carried away by the messengers into the bosom of Abraham—and the rich man also died, and was buried;
Vayi nsukami wuyiza fua ayi zimbasi zinnata nate vana ndambu Abalahami. Mutu wu kimvuama, mamvandi, wufua ayi wuziku.
23 and having lifted up his eyes in Hades, being in torments, he sees Abraham far off, and Lazarus in his bosom, (Hadēs g86)
Kuna tsi yi bafua, wumona ziphasi ziwombo, wuvumbula meso ayi wumona kuna thama Lazale buna kadi va ndambu yi Abalahami. (Hadēs g86)
24 and having cried, he said, Father Abraham, deal kindly with me, and send Lazarus, that he may dip the tip of his finger in water, and may cool my tongue, because I am distressed in this flame.
Buna wuyamikina: “A tata Abalahami, bika wumbona kiadi! Tuma Lazale kabuika tsongi yi nlembo andi mu nlangu muingi kandakisila dibeti mu ludimi luama bila phasi ndilembu moni mu diambu di minlaki mi mbazu.”
25 And Abraham said, Child, remember that you received your good things in your life, and Lazarus in like manner the evil things, and now he is comforted, and you are distressed;
Vayi Abalahami wumvutudila: “A muanꞌama, bika wutebuka moyo ti ngeyo wutambula bima biaku mu thangu yi luzingu luaku vayi Lazale wutambula mabienga. Vayi buabu niandi wulembo bombo kuaku vayi ngeyo wulembo yamusu.
26 and besides all these things, between us and you a great chasm is fixed, so that they who are willing to go over from here to you are not able, nor do they pass through from there to us.
Ayi botula mambu momo, diyenga dinneni didi va khatitsika beto ayi beno mu diambu di bobo badi kuaku batidi kuiza kuidi beno babika bakadiluaku dikuizila koko luidi ayi mu diambu di bobo badi koko luidi batidi kuiza kuaku babika baka diluaku dikuizila kuaku tuidi.”
27 And he said, I ask, then, father, that you may send him to the house of my father,
Buna mutu wu busina wubuela tuba diaka: —A tata, lemvuka! Tuma Lazale ku nzo yi siama
28 for I have five brothers, so that he may thoroughly testify to them, that they also may not come to this place of torment.
bila zikhombo zitanu zidi yama mu diambu di kabalubula muingi mamvawu babika kuiza ku buangu kiaki ki kiphasi.
29 Abraham says to him, They have Moses and the prophets, let them hear them;
Vayi Abalahami wumvutudila: “Moyize ayi mimbikudi badi yawu bika baba wilukila”.
30 and he said, No, father Abraham, but if anyone from the dead may go to them, they will convert.
Buna nkua busina wubuela tuba: “Nana, buawu ko bobo Tata Abalahami. Bila enati mutu fulukidi mu tsi yi bafua ayi wedi kuidi bawu buna bela balula mavanga mawu.”
31 And he said to him, If they do not hear Moses and the prophets, neither will they be persuaded if one may rise out of the dead.”
Vayi Abalahami wubuela vutula ti: “Enati bakadi wila Moyize ayi mimbikudi buna balendi wila ko mutuwufua ka diambu ko wufuluka.”
