Matthew 16
1 And Pharisees and Sadducees approached him to test him, and they asked him to show them a sign from heaven.
Bafarizeo mpe Basaduseo bayaki epai na Yesu mpo na kotiela Ye motambo; basengaki na Ye ete alakisa bango elembo moko kowuta na Likolo.
2 But he responded by saying to them: “When evening arrives, you say, ‘It will be calm, for the sky is red,’
Yesu azongiselaki bango: — Na pokwa, bolobaka: « Mokolo ya lobi ekozala mokolo malamu, pamba te likolo ezali motane! »
3 and in the morning, ‘Today there will be a storm, for the sky is red and gloomy.’ So then, you know how to judge the appearance of the sky, but you are unable to know the signs of the times?
Mpe na tongo, bolobaka: « Mvula makasi ekobeta lelo, pamba te mapata eyindi. » Solo, boyebi kososola bilembo oyo elakisaka soki mvula ekobeta to ekobeta te, kasi bozangi makoki ya kososola bilembo ya tango!
4 An evil and adulterous generation seeks a sign. And a sign shall not be given to it, except the sign of the prophet Jonah.” And leaving them behind, he went away.
Oh bato ya ekeke oyo! Bazali bato mabe mpe bazangi botosi na miso ya Nzambe, kasi bazali mpe kosenga elembo! Bakopesamela elembo mosusu te longola kaka elembo ya Yona. Bongo atikaki bango wana mpe akendeki.
5 And when his disciples went across the sea, they forgot to bring bread.
Tango bayekoli bakatisaki na ngambo mosusu ya ebale, babosanaki komema mapa.
6 And he said to them, “Consider and beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and the Sadducees.”
Yesu alobaki na bango: — Bosala keba na levire ya Bafarizeo mpe ya Basaduseo!
7 But they were thinking within themselves, saying, “It is because we have not brought bread.”
Bayekoli bakomaki kokanisa mpe komituna bango na bango: — Azali koloba bongo mpo ete tomemi mapa te!
8 Then Jesus, knowing this, said: “Why do you consider within yourselves, O little in faith, that it is because you have no bread?
Yesu asosolaki makanisi na bango; alobaki: — Bato ya kondima moke! Bozali kolobana bino na bino mpo ete bozali na mapa te! Mpo na nini?
9 Do you not yet understand, nor remember, the five loaves among the five thousand men, and how many containers you took up?
Boni, bozwi kaka bososoli nanu te? Bobosani penza mapa mitano oyo bokabolelaki bato nkoto mitano, mpe motango ya bitunga oyo bozongaki na yango sima na kokabolela bato?
10 Or the seven loaves among the four thousand men, and how many baskets you took up?
Bobosani lisusu mapa sambo oyo bokabolelaki bato nkoto minei, mpe motango ya bitunga oyo bozongaki na yango sima na kokabolela bato?
11 Why do you not understand that it was not because of bread that I said to you: Beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and the Sadducees?”
Ndenge nini bozali kososola te ete nazalaki koloba na tina na mapa te, tango nalobaki na bino: bosala keba na levire ya Bafarizeo mpe ya Basaduseo?
12 Then they understood that he was not saying that they should beware of the leaven of bread, but of the doctrine of the Pharisees and the Sadducees.
Boye, bayekoli basosolaki ete alobaki na bango te ete basala keba na levire ya mapa, kasi nde basala keba na mateya ya Bafarizeo mpe ya Basaduseo.
13 Then Jesus went into parts of Caesarea Philippi. And he questioned his disciples, saying, “Who do men say that the Son of man is?”
Tango Yesu akomaki na etuka ya Sezarea ya Filipo, atunaki bayekoli na Ye: — Bato balobaka ete Mwana na Moto azali nani?
14 And they said, “Some say John the Baptist, and others say Elijah, still others say Jeremiah or one of the prophets.”
Bazongisaki: — Bamoko balobaka ete ozali Yoane Mobatisi; bamosusu, Eliya; mpe bamosusu lisusu, Jeremi to moko kati na basakoli.
15 Jesus said to them, “But who do you say that I am?”
Yesu atunaki bango lisusu: — Bongo bino, bolobaka ete Ngai nazali nani?
16 Simon Peter responded by saying, “You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.”
Simona Petelo azongisaki: — Ozali Masiya, Mwana na Nzambe na bomoi.
17 And in response, Jesus said to him: “Blessed are you, Simon son of Jonah. For flesh and blood has not revealed this to you, but my Father, who is in heaven.
Yesu alobaki na ye: — Esengo na yo Simona, mwana mobali ya Yona! Pamba te ezali moto te nde ayebisi yo makambo oyo, kasi Tata na Ngai, oyo azali kati na Likolo.
18 And I say to you, that you are Peter, and upon this rock I will build my Church, and the gates of Hell shall not prevail against it. (Hadēs g86)
Mpe Ngai, nazali koloba na yo: Ozali Libanga, mpe ezali na likolo ya libanga oyo nde Ngai nakotonga Lingomba na Ngai; bongo bikuke ya mboka ya bakufi ekotikala kolonga yango te. (Hadēs g86)
19 And I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven. And whatever you shall bind on earth shall be bound, even in heaven. And whatever you shall release on earth shall be released, even in heaven.”
Nakopesa yo bafungola ya Bokonzi ya Likolo; nyonso oyo okokanga awa na mokili ekokangama mpe na Likolo, mpe nyonso oyo okofungola awa na mokili ekofungwama mpe na Likolo.
20 Then he instructed his disciples that they should tell no one that he is Jesus the Christ.
Bongo Yesu apekisaki makasi bayekoli na Ye koloba na moto ete Ye azali Masiya.
21 From that time, Jesus began to reveal to his disciples that it was necessary for him to go to Jerusalem, and to suffer much from the elders and the scribes and the leaders of the priests, and to be killed, and to rise again on the third day.
Wuta na tango wana, Yesu akomaki koloba polele na bayekoli na Ye ete asengeli kokende na Yelusalemi, asengeli komona pasi mingi na maboko ya bakambi ya bato, bakonzi ya Banganga-Nzambe mpe balakisi ya Mobeko; basengeli koboma Ye, mpe asengeli kosekwa na mokolo ya misato.
22 And Peter, taking him aside, began to rebuke him, saying, “Lord, may it be far from you; this shall not happen to you.”
Petelo abendaki Yesu na pembeni mpe akomaki kopamela Ye: — Nkolo, tika ete Nzambe abatela Yo mosika ya makambo wana! Ekokomela Yo te!
23 And turning away, Jesus said to Peter: “Get behind me, Satan; you are an obstacle to me. For you are not behaving according to what is of God, but according to what is of men.”
Kasi Yesu abalukaki, alobaki na Petelo: — Mosika na Ngai, Satana! Ozali epekiselo mpo na Ngai! Makanisi na yo ezali makanisi ya Nzambe te, ezali penza makanisi ya bato.
24 Then Jesus said to his disciples: “If anyone is willing to come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me.
Bongo Yesu alobaki na bayekoli na Ye: — Moto nyonso oyo alingi kolanda Ngai asengeli komiboya ye moko, kokamata ekulusu na ye mpe kolanda Ngai.
25 For whoever would save his life, will lose it. But whoever will have lost his life for my sake, shall find it.
Pamba te moto nyonso oyo akolinga kobikisa bomoi na ye akobungisa yango, kasi moto nyonso oyo akobungisa bomoi na ye mpo na Ngai akozwa yango lisusu.
26 For how does it benefit a man, if he gains the whole world, yet truly suffers damage to his soul? Or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?
Litomba nini ekozala mpo na moto, soki azwi mokili mobimba, kasi abungisi bomoi na ye? Moto akoki penza kopesa nini mpo na kosikola bomoi na ye?
27 For the Son of man will arrive in the glory of his Father, with his Angels. And then he will repay each one according to his works.
Pamba te Mwana na Moto akoya elongo na ba-anjelu na Ye kati na nkembo ya Tata na Ye mpe akofuta moto nyonso kolanda misala na ye.
28 Amen I say to you, there are some among those standing here, who shall not taste death, until they see the Son of man arriving in his reign.”
Nazali koloba na bino penza ya solo: kati na bato oyo bazali awa, ezali na ba-oyo bakokufa te kino bakomona Mwana na Moto koya kati na nkembo ya bokonzi na Ye.
