Pais
Deus é nosso Pai celestial — amoroso, provedor, disciplinador e fiel. As Escrituras também honram os pais terrenos e os chamam a criar os filhos na instrução do Senhor.
O Pai celestial
Deus é Pai de misericórdias. Ele nos adotou como filhos, nos ama incondicionalmente e cuida de cada detalhe da nossa vida.
Monwaani ki pila litondo Nzambi hatondi bisu! Nde li mu uteele bisu baana ba nde. Mbuli, bisu ni baana ba nde. Tso baatu ba tsi a bayabi bisu ve, ni buuna kaka, bo a bayabi Nzambi ve.

Mu mbuli, Livupu bibaayaka benu laayaka, a lili livupu bibaayaka luukitusa benu baviha na bibaayaka luubweluusa benu mu boomo ve. Ka ni Livupu la Ngidi bibaayaka libamweese ti benu aka baana ba Nzambi, na bibaayaka libava bisu muswa mu ufulaha huli Nzambi: «Aba!» Mbindulili ti «Taata!» Livupu la Ngidi libata imbangi lo mwakulu huli livupu la bisu ti, bisu lili baana ba Nzambi.
Ka boosi ba baayaki nde, na huli boosi ba baasiidi imiinu mu nde, nde aviidi bo muswa mu uba baana ba Nzambi.
Nyaha Nzambi Taata a bisu na Pfumu Yisu Kristo, bava benu hyese na hyenze.
O cuidado paterno de Deus
O Pai celestial sabe do que precisamos antes de pedirmos. Ele dá boas dádivas aos filhos que pedem e cuida até dos passarinhos.
Monwaani banyunyi baa hu yulu, bo a bubaakuna ve, a bubaakuukaha ve, a bubaaswehe pasi isiha mutso binzunihi ve. Na Taata a benu wu li hu yulu ubaabuungala bo. Ka benu laalutahala bo.
Benu liyaabi ti masyehe moole bubaasumbasa mu likuta limosi. Ka tso limosi mu mo, a libaabwa ŋa toto hwavele litondo la Taata a benu ve. Uto ti benu, napa naanga mitswe mya benu yoosi yili yibaatanga. Ni mu buuna, a liba na boomo ve, benu lafulala masyehe ma malahi tsoongo.»
Ka we, ŋa we ubaasambila, koto mu itini hya nzo a we, dibuha munywa a nzo, na sambila Taata a we wu li huuna, ŋa mbuha mo yiina ya tswehi. Na Taata a we wu ubaamono mambu ma we ubaasa mu tswehi, sa asyende we.
Ka we, ŋa we ubaadya ikaandi, puupala mutswe a we nyafi, na swaha mbalanga a we, mu uvelemweese huli baatu ti, we ikaandi li mu udya. Ndulu Taata a we wu li ŋaana mu tswehi uyaaba. Na Taata a we wu ubaamono mambu ma we ubaasa mu tswehi, sa asyende we.»
Ki taata ŋa hati la benu, tso mwaana a nde li mu uvondo nde tswi, nde uva nde taadi na myangala myosi? Buuve tso nde vondi nde ki, nde sa ava nde ngeenge? Ni mu buuna, tso benu baa lili banga bubi, benu li yaabi uva baana ba benu bisiha bibibwe. Tandisini a Taata wa hu yulu, buni nde hu uveleva Livupu la Ngidi huli boosi ba bali mu uvondo nde lo!»
A baa na boomo ve, we mwaana a konge biboodi! Mu tooni ati Taata a benu mimono bubwe mu uva benu Ipfumu hya nde.
Bungodu bu bungeele bwosi, na bu bwakuha, bubaamata hu yulu huli Nzambi, muvaangi mayalala ma yulu. Na huli nde, tsobili yo ve, nde a habaasobo ve, we bu inzinza hibaatanyuha na ukuukama.
Nde wu avelitahula Mwana a nde mwakulu,
ka nde ayehuli nde mu bisu boosi,
buni nde huveleva bisu byosi itwadi na Mwana a nde?
Conhecer o Pai
Jesus é o caminho para o Pai. Ninguém conhece o Pai senão o Filho e aquele a quem o Filho quiser revelar.
Yisu afutili nde: «Me ni nzila, imbuli na moonyi. Muutu tso mumosi a huya huli Taata hwavele uvyohele mu me ve.
Mambuha mali ma maasalila mu nzo a Taata a me. Me tsa nzyene mu ayavangila benu mambuha. Tso a buuna ve, me a hakinzabisa benu lo ve.
Na byosi bi benu luuvondo mu nduhi a me, me tsa paanga byo, mana muyusu Taata amonehele mu Mwana.
Muutu wu li mu uyaka matumili ma me, na wu li mu usiingala mo, ni nde wuuna wu atondo me. Muutu wu atondo me, Taata a me sa atondo nde. Me kaka tsa tondo nde, na me tsa monehele na nde.»
Yisu afutili nde bunuubu: «Tso muutu tondi me, nde akeelese mikuma mya me, na Taata a me sa atondo nde. Bisu sa liya huli nde, na bisu sa livaanga nzo a bisu huli nde.
A hu li na muutu wu amiimono Nzambi ve. Ka ndulu Mwana wu livingu, wu li Nzambi na wu ubaatsahala ŋa tsoho a Taata, ni nde amweese bisu buni Nzambi ali.
Me ndi mu unzyeholo mo moonyi wu bilima na bilima: mo a muukwa ve. A hu li na muutu wu utwala upatula mo ŋa kaka la me ve. Taata a me wu ava me mameme, aluutala boosi mu bunene. A hu li na muutu wu utwala upatula pasi hyo ŋa kaka la Taata ve. Bisu a Taata lili muutu mumosi.»
«Taata, me tondi ti baatu ba we ava me, baba na me ŋa me umba. Me tondi ti bo bamono muyusu a me. Ni muyusu wu we ava me, mu tooni ati, we atondo me tswamina pangili a tsi.
Taata a me ava me bisiha byosi. A hu li na muutu wu uyaaba Mwana, tso a ni Taata ve. Na muutu a hayaba Taata, tso a ni Mwana ve, na huli bo baana ba Mwana atondi usaangula lo.
Baani ba baasupaha we bu Taata a benu hu mayulu ali wu asupaha.»
Ka benu, a lisiinga ve ti baateele benu "Rabi", mu tooni ati, benu lili ndulu na mulongisi mumosi, na benu boosi lili baana ba ngu. A liteele pasi muutu ŋa toto "taata" a benu ve, mu tooni ati, benu lili na Taata ndulu mumosi, wu li hu mayulu.
We kaahu a hayaabi ve ti me utwala uvondo likumbasa huli Taata a me, na masulubete, nde utsindaha me bapofi ba balahi ba baalutahala makonge kuumi na moole ma balwani?
«Kwilaani lingebe we bu Taata a benu haluula mu kwili lingebe.
Muyusu aba huli Nzambi Taata a bisu, mu bilima na bilima! Ameni!
Disciplina e amor paterno
O Pai disciplina os filhos que ama. A correção divina produz fruto de justiça e paz para aqueles que foram exercitados por ela.
Kamaani mutima mu mapasi ma Nzambi ali mu usuungaha benu. Mu mbuli, Nzambi ubaavolo benu we baana ba nde. Ki mwana wu taata haavelesuungaha? Tso a basuungihi benu we bu bali mu usuungaha baana ba nde boosi ve, buuna benu a lili baana ba mbuli ve. Ka benu lili baana ba bitswadi. Liyibuhalaani moonyi mu bataata ba bisu ba ŋa toto: bo baakasuungaha bisu, na bisu laakakiinza bo. Tandisini a Taata a bisu wa hu mayulu! Bisu laafwana uba hu tsina lituma la nde, mana liyakaani moonyi mu nde. Bataata ba bisu baakasuungaha bisu mu mwana a taangu hoole, we bu bo baakatondo. Ka, mu libwe la bisu, Nzambi li mu usuungaha bisu, mana bisu liba bangidi we nde.
Pais terrenos
A Bíblia honra os pais que criam os filhos nos caminhos de Deus. Honrar pai e mãe é mandamento com promessa de vida longa.
Baana, bu benu laakangama mu Pfumu, siingalaani babuti ba benu mu tooni ati, buuna ni bu hwafwana. «Kiinza taata a we na ngu a we» wuuna ni mukele watsomi wu li na lahi. Lahi mo lili mu uleele bunuubu: «Mana we ba mu kinya, na ti idiingu hya we hiba hi ila ŋa toto». Benu babuti, a liva baana ba benu kesi mu tooni a mbiili a benu ve, ka baakulasaani bo mu ubaava mandoongi na tsungili yi Pfumu ubaatondo.
Benu babuti, a liva baana ba benu kesi mu tooni a mbiili a benu ve, ka baakulasaani bo mu ubaava mandoongi na tsungili yi Pfumu ubaatondo.
Benu baana, baasiingalaani bangu na bataata ba benu mu pasi dyambu, mu tooni ati, maana ni ma Pfumu ubaasilasa.
Benu bataata, a laabaakwiisa baana ba benu kesi, mu uvelenyongese bo.
Ka byosi bi Nzambi havanga, bili mu ukeele na lehemene, taangu yi Nzambi humweese muyusu a baana ba nde.
Bataata, me ndi mu utsonehele benu muhanda mo wunuuwu, mu tooni ati benu liyaabi wu li moonyi, umata mbandu.
Bafudu, me ndi mu utsonehele benu muhanda mo wunuuwu, mu tooni ati benu laabiingili Nga bubi.
Me ndi mu utsonehele benu muhanda mo wunuuwu, baana ba me, mu tooni ati benu liyaabi Taata.
Me ndi mu utsonehele benu muhanda mo wunuuwu, bataata, mu tooni ati benu liyaabi wu li moonyi umata mbandu.
Me atsonehele benu muhanda mo wunuuwu, bafudu, mu tooni ati benu lili na mifudi. Mambu ma Nzambi mali mu ukwilala mu benu, na benu laamiibiingala Nga bubi.
A litondo tsi ve, tso bisiha bya tsi. Woosi wu tondi ndyatili a baatu ba tsi, utwala ubwetondo Taata Nzambi ve.
