Nkanda Kuidi Basi Ebeleo 1:1-14
1 Tona thama, Nzambi wuyoluka na bakulu bitu mu zikhumbu ziwombo ayi mu ziphila ziwombo, mu kusadila mimbikudi.
2 Buabu, mu bilumbu abibi bitsuka, nandi wuyoluka yitu mu nzila Muan’andi no kavana nsua wu kuvua kiuka kioso, ayi mu nzil’andi muawu kavangila biuma bioso.
3 Muana wummonisanga nkembu wu Nzambi, ayi widi kifuani kimmonisanga kimutu kiandi. Nandi wunkiebanga biuma bioso mu mangolo ma Nzambi. Ayi bo kamana kudiodisa masumu mitu, nandi wukala ku khonzu yi lubakala lu Nzambi Nkua Ngolo Zioso ku diyilu.
4 Mu phila ayoyo, nandi wuyiza ba mutu wulutidi kena zimbasi, kibila wutambula kimfumu* kilutidi kena ki zimbasi zioso.
5 Dedi, mbasi mbi Nzambi ka kamba mambu amama: “Ngie widi muan’ama, bubu minu yeka tat’aku”? Voti: “Minu yinkuiza ba tat’andi ayi nandi wunkuiza ba muan’ama”?
6 Vayi, bo kala bue tuala Mutu Wutheti mu Bivangu biandi, nandi wala tuba: “Bika zimbasi zioso zi Nzambi zinkembisa.
7 Kubotula kuandi amomo, Nzambi wuntuba matedi zimbasi: “Nandi wuvanga zimbasi ziandi bivangu bi kiphevi, ayi wuvanga bisadi biandi buka minlaki mi mbazu.”
8 Vayi mu matedi Muana, nandi wuntuba: “Nzambi widi kikundu kiandi ki kimfumu mvu ka mvu, ayi nkawu wu Kintinu kiandi widi nkawu wu busonga.
9 Mfumu wuzola busonga ayi wulenda mambu mambundulanga minsiku. Diawu Nzambi’aku ka kudukudila nzeta muingi ku kubieka, ayi wu kuvana mayangi mawombo kuvioka mintinu mioso.”
10 Ayi: “A Mfumu, va thonono ngie wuvanga lusersu lu ntoto, ayi diyilu divangulu mu mioko miaku.
11 Ntoto ayi diyilu biala zimbala, vayi ngie wala tatamana. Ntoto ayi diyilu biala kakuka buka kikhutu,
12 ngie wala ku bizinga buka kiyunga ayi buka kikhutu, mvandi wala ku bivingisa. Vayi ngie wubalukanga ko ayi wunzinganga mu zithangu zioso.”
13 Vayi mbasi mbi ka kamba mambu amama: “Kala va khonzu’ama yi lubakala, nati minu yinkuiza tula zimbeni ziaku ku tsi bitambi biaku”?
14 Baboso basi ko bivangu bi kiphevi bimvanganga kisalu kinlongo, ayi baba filanga muingi kusadila batu bala vuka?
