Luke 11
1 And it happened that, while he was in a certain place praying, when he ceased, one of his disciples said to him, “Lord, teach us to pray, as John also taught his disciples.”
Mokolo moko, Yesu azalaki kosambela na esika songolo. Tango asilisaki kosambela, moko kati na bayekoli na Ye alobaki na Ye: — Nkolo, lakisa biso kosambela ndenge Yoane alakisaki bayekoli na ye.
2 And he said to them: “When you are praying, say: Father, may your name be kept holy. May your kingdom come.
Yesu alobaki na bango: — Tango bozali kosambela, boloba: Tata, tika ete Kombo na Yo ebulisama, tika ete Bokonzi na Yo eya!
3 Give us this day our daily bread.
Pesa biso bilei oyo tosengeli na yango, mokolo na mokolo,
4 And forgive us our sins, since we also forgive all who are indebted to us. And lead us not into temptation.”
limbisa masumu na biso, pamba te biso mpe tolimbisaka moto nyonso oyo asalaka biso mabe; mpe komema biso na komekama te.
5 And he said to them: “Which of you will have a friend and will go to him in the middle of the night, and will say to him: ‘Friend, lend me three loaves,
Alobaki na bango lisusu: — Soki moko kati na bino azali na molingami, bongo akei epai na ye na midi ya butu mpe alobi: « Molingami, defisa ngai mapa misato;
6 because a friend of mine has arrived from a journey to me, and I do not have anything to set before him.’
pamba te moko kati na baninga na ngai azali kosala mobembo mpe akomi epai na ngai, kasi nazangi bilei ya kopesa ye. »
7 And from within, he would answer by saying: ‘Do not disturb me. The door is closed now, and my children and I are in bed. I cannot get up and give it to you.’
Soki molingami oyo, wuta kati na ndako na ye, azongisi: « Kotungisa ngai te, nasili kokanga ekuke ya ndako na ngai; ngai mpe bana na ngai tolali, nakoki kolamuka te mpo na kopesa yo mapa. »
8 Yet if he will persevere in knocking, I tell you that, even though he would not get up and give it to him because he is a friend, yet due to his continued insistence, he will get up and give him whatever he needs.
Nazali koloba na bino penza ya solo: ata soki akotelema te mpo na kopesa ye mapa yango, kasi akotelema penza mpo na motungisi na ye mpe akopesa ye nyonso oyo azali na yango na bosenga, pamba te azali moninga na ye.
9 And so I say to you: Ask, and it shall be given to you. Seek, and you shall find. Knock, and it shall be opened to you.
Boye, Ngai nazali koloba na bino: Bosenga, mpe bakopesa bino; boluka, mpe bokomona; bobeta ekuke, mpe bakofungolela bino.
10 For everyone who asks, receives. And whoever seeks, finds. And whoever knocks, it shall be opened to him.
Pamba te moto nyonso oyo asengaka azwaka, moto oyo alukaka amonaka; mpe moto oyo abetaka ekuke, bafungolelaka ye yango.
11 So then, who among you, if he asks his father for bread, he would give him a stone? Or if he asks for a fish, he would give him a serpent, instead of a fish?
Nani kati na bino, batata, akopesa na mwana na ye nyoka soki asengi ye mbisi,
12 Or if he will ask for an egg, he would offer to him a scorpion?
to akopesa ye koto soki asengi ye liki?
13 Therefore, if you, being evil, know how to give good things to your sons, how much more will your Father give, from heaven, a spirit of goodness to those who ask him?”
Bongo soki bino bato oyo bozali kutu mabe boyebi kopesa na bana na bino biloko ya malamu, ndenge nini Tata oyo azali na Likolo apesa te Molimo Mosantu epai ya bato oyo basengaka Ye!
14 And he was casting out a demon, and the man was mute. But when he had cast out the demon, the mute man spoke, and so the crowds were amazed.
Mokolo moko, Yesu azalaki kobengana molimo mabe oyo ezalaki kopekisa moto koloba. Tango molimo mabe yango ebimaki, moto oyo azalaki koloba te akomaki koloba, mpe ebele ya bato bakamwaki.
15 But some of them said, “It is by Beelzebub, the leader of demons, that he casts out demons.”
Kasi bamoko kati na bango balobaki: — Azali kobengana milimo mabe na nguya ya Belizebule, mokonzi ya milimo mabe.
16 And others, testing him, required a sign from heaven of him.
Bamosusu, mpo na komeka Yesu, basengaki na Ye elembo moko kowuta na Likolo.
17 But when he perceived their thoughts, he said to them: “Every kingdom divided against itself will become desolate, and house will fall upon house.
Lokola Yesu ayebaki makanisi na bango, alobaki na bango: — Bokonzi nyonso oyo ekabwani mpe ekomi komibundisa ekomipanza, mpe ndako oyo ekabwani mpe ekomi komibundisa ekokweya.
18 So then, if Satan is also divided against himself, how will his kingdom stand? For you say that it is by Beelzebub that I cast out demons.
Soki Satana akomi komibundisa, bokonzi na ye ekotelema ndenge nini? Nalobi bongo mpo bolobi ete Ngai nazali kobengana milimo mabe na nguya ya Belizebule.
19 But if I cast out demons by Beelzebub, by whom do your own sons cast them out? Therefore, they shall be your judges.
Mpe soki Ngai nazali kobengana milimo mabe na nguya ya Belizebule, bayekoli na bino babenganaka yango na nguya ya nani? Mpo na yango, bayekoli na bino bakozala bango moko basambisi na bino.
20 Moreover, if it is by the finger of God that I cast out demons, then certainly the kingdom of God has overtaken you.
Kasi soki ezali na nguya ya Nzambe nde Ngai nazali kobengana milimo mabe, wana Bokonzi ya Nzambe esili kokoma kino epai na bino.
21 When a strong armed man guards his entrance, the things that he possesses are at peace.
Tango elombe oyo alata bibundeli akengelaka ndako na ye, biloko na ye ebatelamaka malamu;
22 But if a stronger one, overwhelming him, has defeated him, he will take away all his weapons, in which he trusted, and he will distribute his spoils.
kasi soki moto mosusu oyo aleki ye na makasi ayei kobundisa ye mpe alongi ye, akobotola ye bibundeli oyo azalaki kotiela motema, akokamata biloko na ye nyonso mpe akokaba yango.
23 Whoever is not with me, is against me. And whoever does not gather with me, scatters.
Moto oyo azali elongo na Ngai te azali monguna na Ngai, mpe moto oyo asangisaka te elongo na Ngai apanzaka.
24 When an unclean spirit has departed from a man, he walks through waterless places, seeking rest. And not finding any, he says: ‘I will return to my house, from which I departed.’
Soki molimo mabe ebimi kati na moto, ekendaka koyengayenga na bisika ekawuka mpo na koluka esika ya kopema. Kasi soki ezwi esika yango te, emilobelaka: « Eleki malamu mpo na ngai kozonga na ndako oyo natikaki. »
25 And when he has arrived, he finds it swept clean and decorated.
Tango molimo mabe yango ezongaka, ekutaka ndako yango polele, bakombola mpe babongisa malamu.
26 Then he goes, and he takes in seven other spirits with him, more wicked than himself, and they enter and live there. And so, the end of that man is made worse than the beginning.”
Bongo ekendaka lisusu kozwa milimo mosusu sambo oyo eleki yango na mabe, mpe, elongo na yango, ekotaka mpe evandaka kuna. Boye bomoi ya moto yango ekomaka lisusu mabe, koleka ndenge ezalaki liboso.
27 And it happened that, when he was saying these things, a certain woman from the crowd, lifting up her voice, said to him, “Blessed is the womb that bore you and the breasts that nursed you.”
Wana Yesu azalaki koloba makambo oyo, mwasi moko agangaki wuta kati na ebele ya bato: — Esengo na mama oyo abotaki Yo mpe amelisaki Yo mabele!
28 Then he said, “Yes, but moreover: blessed are those who hear the word of God and keep it.”
Yesu azongisaki: — Esengo nde na bato oyo bayokaka Liloba na Nzambe mpe batosaka yango!
29 Then, as the crowds were quickly gathering, he began to say: “This generation is a wicked generation: it seeks a sign. But no sign will be given to it, except the sign of the prophet Jonah.
Lokola bato bazalaki kotonda se kotonda pembeni na Ye, Yesu alobaki: — Bato ya ekeke oyo bazali bato mabe penza! Bazali kosenga elembo! Bakopesamela elembo mosusu te, longola kaka elembo ya Yona;
30 For just as Jonah was a sign to the Ninevites, so also will the Son of man be to this generation.
pamba te, ndenge Yona azalaki elembo mpo na bato ya Ninive, ndenge wana mpe Mwana na Moto akozala elembo mpo na bato ya ekeke oyo.
31 The queen of the South will rise up, at the judgment, with the men of this generation, and she will condemn them. For she came from the ends of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon. And behold, more than Solomon is here.
Na mokolo ya kosambisama, mwasi mokonzi ya sude akolamuka, elongo na bato ya ekeke oyo, mpe akokatela bango etumbu, pamba te awutaki mosika, na suka ya mokili, mpo na koyoka bwanya ya Salomo; nzokande awa sik’oyo, ezali na Moto oyo aleki Salomo.
32 The men of Nineveh will rise up, at the judgment, with this generation, and they will condemn it. For at the preaching of Jonah, they repented. And behold, more than Jonah is here.
Na mokolo ya kosambisama, bato ya Ninive bakotelema, elongo na bato ya ekeke oyo, mpe bakokatela bango etumbu, pamba te babongolaki mitema na bango tango bayokaki mateya ya Yona; nzokande awa sik’oyo, ezali na Moto oyo aleki Yona.
33 No one lights a candle and places it in hiding, nor under a bushel basket, but upon a lampstand, so that those who enter may see the light.
Moto moko te apelisaka mwinda mpo na kotia yango na esika ya kobombama to na se ya katini. Nzokande, batiaka yango na likolo ya etelemiselo ya minda mpo ete bato oyo bazali kokota na ndako bamona pole.
34 Your eye is the light of your body. If your eye is wholesome, your entire body will be filled with light. But if it is wicked, then even your body will be darkened.
Miso na yo ezali lokola mwinda ya nzoto na yo. Soki miso na yo ezali malamu, nzoto na yo mobimba mpe ezali kati na pole. Kasi soki ebeli, nzoto na yo mobimba mpe ekoti kati na molili.
35 Therefore, take care, lest the light that is within you become darkness.
Yango wana, sala keba ete pole oyo ezali kati na yo ekoma molili te.
36 So then, if your entire body becomes filled with light, not having any part in darkness, then it will be entirely light, and, like a shining lamp, it will illuminate you.”
Soki nzoto na yo mobimba ezali kati na pole, mpe eteni ata moko te ezali kati na molili, nzoto na yo mobimba ekotonda na pole lokola tango mwinda engengisaka yo na nzela ya pole na yango.
37 And as he was speaking, a certain Pharisee asked him to eat with him. And going inside, he sat down to eat.
Tango Yesu asilisaki koloba, Mofarizeo moko abengisaki Ye mpo ete akende kolia elongo na ye. Yesu akotaki na ndako na ye mpe avandaki na mesa.
38 But the Pharisee began to say, thinking within himself: “Why might it be that he has not washed before eating?”
Kasi Mofarizeo akamwaki mingi tango amonaki ete Yesu asukoli maboko te liboso ya kolia.
39 And the Lord said to him: “You Pharisees today clean what is outside the cup and the plate, but what is inside of you is full of plunder and iniquity.
Bongo, Nkolo alobaki na ye: — Bino Bafarizeo, bosukolaka libanda ya bakopo mpe ya basani, kasi botondi na moyibi mpe na mabe.
40 Fools! Did not he who made what is outside, indeed also make what is inside?
Bazoba! Boni, ye oyo asalaki libanda, asalaki mpe kati te?
41 Yet truly, give what is above as alms, and behold, all things are clean for you.
Bobonza nde bomoto na bino ya kati lokola likabo epai ya Nzambe, bongo mobimba na bino ekokoma mbala moko peto.
42 But woe to you, Pharisees! For you tithe mint and rue and every herb, but you ignore judgment and the charity of God. But these things you ought to have done, without omitting the others.
Mawa na bino, Bafarizeo! Bofutaka eteni ya zomi ya bandembi, ya matungulu mpe ya bandunda ya lolenge nyonso, kasi bomonaka pamba bosembo mpe bolingo ya Nzambe. Nzokande bosengeli nde kotia yango na misala, mpe kozwa na motuya likambo oyo wana ya kofuta eteni ya zomi.
43 Woe to you, Pharisees! For you love the first seats in the synagogues, and greetings in the marketplace.
Mawa na bino, Bafarizeo! Bolingaka kovanda na bakiti ya liboso, kati na bandako ya mayangani; mpe bolingaka ete bato bapesa bino mbote ya lokumu, na bisika oyo bato ebele bakutanaka.
44 Woe to you! For you are like graves that are not noticeable, so that men walk over them without realizing it.”
Mawa na bino! Bozali lokola bakunda oyo ezanga bilembo, bongo bato batambolaka na likolo na yango na kozanga koyeba!
45 Then one of the experts in the law, in response, said to him, “Teacher, in saying these things, you bring an insult against us as well.”
Molakisi moko ya mibeko alobaki na Yesu: — Moteyi, tango ozali koloba bongo, ozali kofinga mpe biso!
46 So he said: “And woe to you experts in the law! For you weigh men down with burdens which they are not able to bear, but you yourselves do not touch the weight with even one of your fingers.
Yesu azongisaki: — Bino mpe balakisi ya Mobeko, mawa na bino! Bomemisaka bato mikumba ya kilo makasi, mpe bino moko boningisaka ata mosapi moko te mpo na kosunga bango.
47 Woe to you, who build the tombs of the prophets, while it is your fathers who killed them!
Mawa na bino, pamba te botongaka bakunda mpo na basakoli oyo bakoko na bino baboma!
48 Clearly, you are testifying that you consent to the actions of your fathers, because even though they killed them, you build their sepulchers.
Boye, wana bosalaka bongo, botatolaka ete bondimi makambo oyo bakoko na bino basala; pamba te bango, baboma basakoli, mpe bino, bozali kotonga bakunda na bango.
49 Because of this also, the wisdom of God said: I will send to them Prophets and Apostles, and some of these they will kill or persecute,
Yango wana, Nzambe, kati na bwanya na Ye, aloba: « Nakotindela bango basakoli mpe bantoma; bakoboma bamoko, mpe bakonyokola bamosusu. »
50 so that the blood of all the Prophets, which has been shed since the foundation of the world, may be charged against this generation:
Mpo na yango, makila ya basakoli nyonso, oyo basopa wuta na ebandeli ya mokili, ekotangama na mito ya bato ya ekeke oyo,
51 from the blood of Abel, even to the blood of Zachariah, who perished between the altar and the sanctuary. So I say to you: it will be required of this generation!
kobanda na makila ya Abele kino na makila ya Zakari oyo babomaki kati na etumbelo mpe Esika ya bule. Nazali koloba na bino penza ya solo: mokumba ya mabe wana nyonso ekokweyela bato ya ekeke oyo.
52 Woe to you, experts in the law! For you have taken away the key of knowledge. You yourselves do not enter, and those who were entering, you would have prohibited.”
Mawa na bino, balakisi ya Mobeko, pamba te bolongolaki fungola ya boyebi! Bino moko bokotaki te, mpe bopekisaki bato oyo bazalaki na posa ya kokota.
53 Then, while he was saying these things to them, the Pharisees and the experts in the law began to insist strongly that he restrain his mouth about many things.
Tango Yesu abimaki na ndako, Bafarizeo mpe balakisi ya Mobeko basilikelaki Ye makasi mpe bakomaki kotungisa Ye na nzela ya mituna ya ndenge na ndenge,
54 And waiting to ambush him, they sought something from his mouth that they might seize upon, in order to accuse him.
na kotiela Ye mitambo mpo na kozwa, kati na maloba na Ye, likambo ya kofunda Ye.
