Dia das crianças
As crianças são preciosas aos olhos de Deus. Jesus as acolheu, abençoou e ensinou que delas é o Reino dos Céus — modelos de fé, pureza e humildade.
Jesus e as crianças
Deixai vir a mim as crianças. Jesus abraçou, abençoou e honrou as crianças como modelo de fé para os adultos.
Buuna, Yisu aleeli: «Nyahaani baana baya huli me, na a liliha bo ve, mu tooni ati, Ipfumu hi mayulu hili hya boosi ba bali we bo.»
Yisu li mu ulongese bayihi
Na alutahala bukuutu hutso Ipfumu hi mayulu?
Mu taangu mo yiina, bayihi baayasusaha huli Yisu na ufuula nde: «Na alutahala bukuutu hu Ipfumu hi mayulu?» Buuna, Yisu ateeli mwana a ngebe mumosi, asuusi nde ŋa hati la bo, na aleeli: «Mu mbuli me ndi mu undeele benu, tso benu a lisobi na ukituha we baana ba bangebe ve, benu a luukoto hu Ipfumu hi mayulu ve. Ni mu buuna, muutu wu alutahala bukuutu hu Ipfumu hi mayulu ni nde wuuna wu ubaakulamana na ubaakituha we mwana a ngebe mo wunuunu.
Kuma lindombo li laadimbala na li limiisoloho
Yisu abweleele: «Baakelaani mu ubelele mumosi mu bikenyi mo biniibi. Mumbuli me ndi mu undeele benu, bapofi ba bo hu mayulu bu baaba taangu yoosi ŋa busu bwa Taata a me wu li hu mayulu. [
Ka bakuutu ba bangaanga ba Nzambi na milongisi mi Mikele, baamoni bubi mu bimangu bi nde hasiidi, na baana ba bangebe baakafulaha mu litandala la nzo a Nzambi: «Osana! Muyusu huli Mwana a Davidi!» Bo baaleeli Yisu: «We li mu uyuha ma bo bali mu uleele?» Yisu afutili bo: «Eye, benu kini a laataangi mambu mo maniima ve: "We asiidi ti tso bangebe, bikenyi bayuusa we"?»
Mu mbuli me ndi mu undeele benu, woosi wu uveleyaka Ipfumu hya Nzambi we imwamwana, a huukoto huuna ve.» Titswene nde avoli baana, abuumbi bo na asyemi bo mu usuusala bo myoho.
Ni mu buuna, nde avoli mwana mumosi, asuusi nde ŋa butima bwa bo. Nde abuumbi mwana na aleeli bo: «Woosi wu uyaka mwana mumosi wa pila yiniiyi mu nduhi a me, miiyaka me. Na woosi wu uyaka me, a me nde amiiyaka ve, ka ni wuuna wu atsindaha me.»

Instrui a criança no caminho de Deus. Elas são herança do Senhor — presentes sagrados que devemos educar com amor.
