Mark 8
1 In those days, again, when there was a great crowd, and they did not have anything to eat, calling together his disciples, he said to them:
Na mikolo yango, ebele penza ya bato bayaki lisusu kosangana zingazinga ya Yesu. Lokola bazalaki na eloko ya kolia te, Yesu abengaki bayekoli na Ye mpe alobaki na bango:
2 “I have compassion for the multitude, because, behold, they have persevered with me now for three days, and they do not have anything to eat.
— Nazali koyokela bato oyo mawa, pamba te basali mikolo misato elongo na Ngai mpe bazali na eloko ya kolia te.
3 And if I were to send them away fasting to their home, they might faint on the way.” For some of them came from far away.
Soki nazongisi bango na bandako na bango na nzala, bakolemba nzoto na nzela; pamba te, bato mosusu kati na bango bawutaki mosika.
4 And his disciples answered him, “From where would anyone be able to obtain enough bread for them in the wilderness?”
Bayekoli na Ye bazongisaki: — Kati na esobe oyo, esika nini tokoki kozwa mapa mpo na koleisa bango mpe batonda?
5 And he questioned them, “How many loaves do you have?” And they said, “Seven.”
Yesu atunaki bango: — Bozali na mapa boni? Bazongisaki: — Tozali na mapa sambo.
6 And he instructed the crowd to sit down to eat on the ground. And taking the seven loaves, giving thanks, he broke and gave it to his disciples in order to place before them. And they placed these before the crowd.
Boye, alobaki na ebele ya bato yango ete bavanda na mabele. Bongo azwaki mapa yango sambo, azongisaki matondi epai ya Nzambe, akataki yango mpe apesaki biteni na yango epai ya bayekoli na Ye mpo ete bakabola yango epai ya bato. Mpe bayekoli basalaki bongo.
7 And they had a few small fish. And he blessed them, and he ordered them to be placed before them.
Bazalaki mpe na mwa ndambo ya bambisi ya mike-mike. Apambolaki yango mpe alobaki na bayekoli na Ye ete bakabola yango.
8 And they ate and were satisfied. And they took up what had been leftover from the fragments: seven baskets.
Bato nyonso baliaki mpe batondaki. Bongo bayekoli balokotaki biteni oyo etikalaki, batondisaki na yango bitunga sambo.
9 And those who ate were about four thousand. And he dismissed them.
Bato bazalaki pene nkoto minei. Bongo, Yesu azongisaki bango.
10 And promptly climbing into a boat with his disciples, he went into the parts of Dalmanutha.
Mbala moko, Yesu amataki na bwato elongo na bayekoli na Ye mpe akendeki na etuka ya Dalimanuta.
11 And the Pharisees went out and began to contend with him, seeking from him a sign from heaven, testing him.
Bafarizeo bayaki mpe bakomaki kotuna Yesu mituna; mpo na komeka Ye, basengaki na Ye ete asala elembo moko kowuta na Likolo.
12 And sighing deeply in spirit, he said: “Why does this generation seek a sign? Amen, I say to you, if only a sign will be given to this generation!”
Yesu ayokaki mawa makasi kati na molimo na Ye mpe alobaki: « Mpo na nini bato ya ekeke oyo bazali kosenga elembo? Nazali koloba na bino penza ya solo: bakopesamela elembo moko te! »
13 And sending them away, he climbed into the boat again, and he went away across the sea.
Bongo atikaki bango, amataki lisusu na bwato mpe akendeki na ngambo mosusu ya ebale.
14 And they forgot to take bread. And they did not have any with them in the boat, except one loaf.
Bayekoli babosanaki komema mapa; bazalaki kaka na lipa moko kati na bwato.
15 And he instructed them, saying: “Consider and beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and of the leaven of Herod.”
Yesu akebisaki bango: — Bofungola miso mpe bosala keba na levire ya Bafarizeo mpe ya Erode!
16 And they discussed this with one another, saying, “For we have no bread.”
Bayekoli bakomaki kolobana bango na bango: — Azali koloba bongo mpo ete tozali na mapa te.
17 And Jesus, knowing this, said to them: “Why do you consider that it is because you have no bread? Do you not yet know or understand? Do you still have blindness in your heart?
Yesu asosolaki makanisi na bango; alobaki: — Bozali kolobana bino na bino mpo ete bozali na mapa te! Mpo na nini? Boni, bozwi kaka bososoli nanu te; mayele na bino ezali kaka ya kozipama; bozali na mitema makasi;
18 Having eyes, do you not see? And having ears, do you not hear? Do you not remember,
bozali na miso, kasi bozali komona te; bozali na matoyi, kasi bozali koyoka te? Bobosani penza!
19 when I broke the five loaves among the five thousand, how many baskets full of fragments you took up?” They said to him, “Twelve.”
Tango nakataki mapa mitano mpo na kokabolela bato nkoto mitano, bozongaki na motango boni ya bitunga etonda na biteni ya mapa, sima na kokabolela bato? Bazongisaki: — Bitunga zomi na mibale.
20 “And when the seven loaves were among the four thousand, how many baskets of fragments did you take up?” And they said to him, “Seven.”
Bongo tango nakataki mapa sambo mpo na kokabolela bato nkoto minei, bozongaki na bitunga boni etonda na biteni ya mapa? Bazongisaki: — Tolokotaki bitumba sambo.
21 And he said to them, “How is it that you do not yet understand?”
Alobaki na bango: — Bozwi kaka bososoli nanu te?
22 And they went to Bethsaida. And they brought a blind man to him. And they petitioned him, so that he would touch him.
Tango bakomaki na Betisaida, bato bamemaki epai na Yesu moto moko akufa miso; mpe basengaki na Yesu ete asimba ye.
23 And taking the blind man by the hand, he led him beyond the village. And putting spit on his eyes, laying his hands on him, he asked him if he could see anything.
Yesu asimbaki loboko ya mokufi miso mpe amemaki ye na libanda ya mboka; bongo apakolaki ye soyi na miso, atielaki ye maboko mpe atunaki ye: — Boni, omoni eloko?
24 And looking up, he said, “I see men but they are like walking trees.”
Moto yango atalaki mpe alobaki: — Nazali komona bato, kasi bazali lokola banzete oyo ezali kotambola.
25 Next he placed his hands again over his eyes, and he began to see. And he was restored, so that he could see everything clearly.
Bongo Yesu atiaki lisusu maboko na Ye na miso ya moto yango, mpe moto yango abikaki. Boye akomaki komona malamu penza.
26 And he sent him to his house, saying, “Go into your own house, and if you enter into the town, tell no one.”
Yesu alobaki na ye: — Kende na ndako na yo, komeka kutu te kozonga na mboka.
27 And Jesus departed with his disciples into the towns of Caesarea Philippi. And on the way, he questioned his disciples, saying to them, “Who do men say that I am?”
Yesu mpe bayekoli na Ye bakendeki na bamboka ya Sezarea ya Filipo. Na nzela, atunaki bango: — Bato bazali koloba ete Ngai nazali nani?
28 And they answered him by saying: “John the Baptist, others Elijah, still others perhaps one of the prophets.”
Bazongisaki: — Bamoko balobaka ete ozali Yoane Mobatisi; bamosusu, Eliya; mpe bamosusu lisusu, moko kati na basakoli.
29 Then he said to them, “Yet truly, who do you say that I am?” Peter responded by saying to him, “You are the Christ.”
Yesu atunaki bango: — Bongo bino, bolobaka ete Ngai nazali nani? Petelo azongiselaki Ye: — Ozali Masiya.
30 And he admonished them, not to tell anyone about him.
Yesu apekisaki bango makasi koloba bongo na moto ata moko.
31 And he began to teach them that the Son of man must suffer many things, and be rejected by the elders, and by the high priests, and the scribes, and be killed, and after three days rise again.
Yesu akomaki koteya bango: — Mwana na Moto asengeli komona pasi mingi; bakambi, bakonzi ya Banganga-Nzambe mpe balakisi ya Mobeko basengeli koboya Ye, basengeli koboma Ye, mpe, sima na mikolo misato, asengeli kosekwa.
32 And he spoke the word openly. And Peter, taking him aside, began to correct him.
Azalaki koloba makambo yango na polele penza. Bongo Petelo abendaki Yesu na pembeni mpe akomaki kopamela Ye: — Koloba bongo te!
33 And turning away and looking at his disciples, he admonished Peter, saying, “Get behind me, Satan, for you do not prefer the things that are of God, but the things that are of men.”
Kasi Yesu abalukaki, atalaki bayekoli na Ye mpe apamelaki Petelo: — Mosika na Ngai, Satana! Makanisi na yo ezali makanisi ya Nzambe te, ezali penza makanisi ya bato.
34 And calling together the crowd with his disciples, he said to them, “If anyone chooses to follow me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me.
Yesu abengaki ebele ya bato mpe bayekoli na Ye, alobaki na bango: — Moto nyonso oyo alingi kolanda Ngai asengeli komiboya ye moko, kokamata ekulusu na ye mpe kolanda Ngai.
35 For whoever will have chosen to save his life, will lose it. But whoever will have lost his life, for my sake and for the Gospel, shall save it.
Pamba te moto nyonso oyo akolinga kobikisa bomoi na ye akobungisa yango, kasi moto nyonso oyo akobungisa bomoi na ye mpo na Ngai mpe mpo na Sango Malamu akobikisa yango.
36 For how does it benefit a man, if he gains the whole world, and yet causes harm to his soul?
Litomba nini ezali mpo na moto, soki azwi mokili mobimba, kasi abungisi bomoi na ye?
37 Or, what will a man give in exchange for his soul?
Moto akoki penza kopesa nini mpo na kosikola bomoi na ye?
38 For whoever has been ashamed of me and of my words, among this adulterous and sinful generation, the Son of man also will be ashamed of him, when he will arrive in the glory of his Father, with the holy Angels.”
Moto nyonso oyo akoyoka Ngai mpe maloba na Ngai soni, kati na bato ya ekeke oyo, ba-oyo batosaka Nzambe te mpe batondi na masumu, Mwana na Moto mpe akoyoka ye soni, tango akoya elongo na ba-anjelu ya bule kati na nkembo ya Tata na Ye.
