Luke 14
1 And it came to pass, as he went into the house of one of the rulers, [who was] of the Pharisees, to eat bread on [the] sabbath, that they were watching him.
Mokolo moko ya Saba, Yesu akendeki kolia kati na ndako ya moko kati na bakambi ya Bafarizeo, mpe Bafarizeo bazalaki kotala Ye malamu.
2 And behold, there was a certain dropsical [man] before him.
Liboso na Ye, ezalaki na moto moko oyo azalaki kobela bokono ya kovimba nzoto.
3 And Jesus answering spoke unto the doctors of the law and Pharisees, saying, Is it lawful to heal on the sabbath?
Yesu atunaki Bafarizeo mpe balakisi ya Mobeko: — Boni, mobeko na biso epesaka nzela ya kobikisa moto na mokolo ya Saba to te?
4 But they were silent. And taking him he healed him and let him go.
Kasi bavandaki kimia. Yesu asimbaki mobeli yango, abikisaki ye na bokono na ye mpe azongisaki ye.
5 And answering he said to them, Of which of you shall an ass or ox fall into a well, that he does not straightway pull him up on the sabbath day?
Bongo atunaki bango: — Soki moko kati na bino azali na mwana to ngombe; bongo, na mokolo ya Saba, akweyi to ekweyi kati na libulu, boni, bokobimisa te na lombangu mwana yango to ngombe yango?
6 And they were not able to answer him to these things.
Bakokaki te kopesa Ye eyano.
7 And he spoke a parable to those that were invited, remarking how they chose out the first places, saying to them,
Tango Yesu amonaki ndenge nini bato oyo babengamaki na feti bazalaki kopona bisika ya lokumu, alobaki na bango lisese oyo:
8 When thou art invited by any one to a wedding, do not lay thyself down in the first place at table, lest perhaps a more honourable than thou be invited by him,
« Soki moto abengisi yo na feti ya libala, kokende komivandisa te na esika ya lokumu, pamba te, kati na bato oyo babengami na feti yango, ekoki kozala na moto oyo aleki yo na lokumu.
9 and he who invited thee and him come and say to thee, Give place to this [man], and then thou begin with shame to take the last place.
Soki esalemi bongo, moto oyo abengisi bino mibale akoya koloba na yo: ‹ Tikela moto oyo kiti na yo! › Bongo, na soni nyonso, okokende kozwa esika ya suka.
10 But when thou hast been invited, go and put thyself down in the last place, that when he who has invited thee comes, he may say to thee, Friend, go up higher: then shalt thou have honour before all that are lying at table with thee;
Kasi soki babengisi yo na feti, kende na yo kovanda na esika ya suka, mpo ete, tango moto oyo abengisi yo akoya, aloba na yo: ‹ Molingami na ngai, yaka kovanda na esika oyo eleki malamu! › Boye, okopesamela lokumu na miso ya bato nyonso oyo babengami na feti.
11 for every one that exalts himself shall be abased, and he that abases himself shall be exalted.
Solo, moto nyonso oyo amitombolaka, bakokitisa ye; mpe moto oyo amikitisaka, bakotombola ye. »
12 And he said also to him that had invited him, When thou makest a dinner or a supper, call not thy friends, nor thy brethren, nor thy kinsfolk, nor rich neighbours, lest it may be they also should invite thee in return, and a recompense be made thee.
Bongo Yesu alobaki na moto oyo abengisaki Ye: — Soki osali feti mpo ete bato baya kolia, kobengisa te balingami na yo, bandeko na yo, baboti na yo to bazwi oyo bazalaka pene na yo; noki te bango mpe bakobengisa yo mpo na kozongisela yo, na nzela wana, bolamu oyo osalaki mpo na bango.
13 But when thou makest a feast, call poor, crippled, lame, blind:
Kasi Soki osali feti, bengisa babola, bakufi miso, bakakatani mpe ba-ebosono;
14 and thou shalt be blessed; for they have not [the means] to recompense thee; for it shall be recompensed thee in the resurrection of the just.
mpe Nzambe akopambola yo. Atako bakoki te kozongisela yo bolamu oyo osali mpo na bango, kasi Nzambe akofuta niongo na mokolo oyo bato ya sembo bakosekwa.
15 And one of those that were lying at table with [them], hearing these things, said to him, Blessed [is] he who shall eat bread in the kingdom of God.
Tango moko kati na babengami ayokaki bongo, alobaki na Yesu: — Esengo na moto oyo akolia na feti kati na Bokonzi ya Nzambe!
16 And he said to him, A certain man made a great supper and invited many.
Yesu azongiselaki ye: — Moto moko asalaki feti monene mpe abengisaki bato ebele.
17 And he sent his bondman at the hour of supper to say to those who were invited, Come, for already all things are ready.
Tango ngonga ya kolia ekokaki, atindaki mosali na ye kokende koloba na bato oyo babengamaki: « Boya, pamba te nyonso esili kobongisama sik’oyo. »
18 And all began, without exception, to excuse themselves. The first said to him, I have bought land, and I must go out and see it; I pray thee hold me for excused.
Kasi bango nyonso bakomaki kosenga bolimbisi ndenge moko. Moto ya liboso alobaki: « Nawuti kosomba elanga, nasengeli kokende kotala yango; nabondeli yo, limbisa ngai! »
19 And another said, I have bought five yoke of oxen, and I go to prove them; I pray thee hold me for excused.
Moto ya mibale alobaki: « Nawuti kosomba bangombe zomi, nasengeli komeka yango; nabondeli yo, limbisa ngai! »
20 And another said, I have married a wife, and on this account I cannot come.
Moto mosusu alobaki: « Nawuti kobala mwasi; nakoki koya te. »
21 And the bondman came up and brought back word of these things to his lord. Then the master of the house, in anger, said to his bondman, Go out quickly into the streets and lanes of the city, and bring here the poor and crippled and lame and blind.
Mosali azongaki mpe ayebisaki makambo nyonso epai ya nkolo na ye. Nkolo ndako asilikaki makasi mpe atindaki mosali na ye: « Kende noki na banzela, na babalabala ya engumba, mpe memela ngai babola, ba-ebosono, bakakatani mpe bakufi miso. »
22 And the bondman said, Sir, it is done as thou hast commanded, and there is still room.
Sima na mwa tango, mosali ayaki mpe alobaki: « Nkolo na ngai, nasali ndenge otindaki ngai; kasi bisika ezali nanu. »
23 And the lord said to the bondman, Go out into the ways and fences and compel to come in, that my house may be filled;
Nkolo alobaki na mosali na ye: « Kende lisusu na banzela mpe na babalabala ya engumba, tinda bango na makasi mpo ete bakota, mpe ndako na ngai etonda na bato.
24 for I say to you, that not one of those men who were invited shall taste of my supper.
Pamba te, nazali koloba na yo: moko te kati na bato oyo babengamaki akolia biloko ya feti na ngai. »
25 And great crowds went with him; and, turning round, he said to them,
Ebele ya bato bazalaki kokende elongo na Yesu. Yesu abalukaki mpo na kotala bango mpe alobaki:
26 If any man come to me, and shall not hate his own father and mother, and wife, and children, and brothers, and sisters, yea, and his own life too, he cannot be my disciple;
— Soki moto ayei epai na Ngai, kasi alingi Ngai te koleka tata na ye, mama na ye, mwasi na ye, bana na ye, bandeko na ye ya mibali, bandeko na ye ya basi, mpe ezala ata bomoi na ye moko, moto ya ndenge wana akoki te kozala moyekoli na Ngai.
27 and whoever does not carry his cross and come after me cannot be my disciple.
Mpe moto nyonso oyo amemaka ekulusu na ye te mpe alandaka Ngai te akoki te kozala moyekoli na Ngai.
28 For which of you, desirous of building a tower, does not first sit down and count the cost, if he have what [is needed] to complete it;
Soki moko kati na bino alingi kotonga ndako molayi, boni, bokovanda nanu te mpe bokoluka nanu te koyeba motuya mpo na kotala soki bozali na mbongo ya kokoka mpo na kosilisa misala ya kotonga ndako yango?
29 in order that, having laid the foundation of it, and not being able to finish it, all who see it do not begin to mock at him,
Pamba te, soki sima na bino kotia moboko, bokoki lisusu te kosilisa kotonga ndako yango, bato nyonso oyo bakobanda komona yango bakobanda koseka bino mpe koloba:
30 saying, This man began to build and was not able to finish?
« Botala moto oyo! Abandaki mosala ya kotonga ndako, kasi azangaki makoki ya kosilisa yango. »
31 Or what king, going on his way to engage in war with another king, does not, sitting down first, take counsel whether he is able with ten thousand to meet him coming against him with twenty thousand?
Ndenge moko, soki mokonzi moko alingi kokende kobundisa mokonzi mosusu, boni, akovanda nanu te mpe akotala nanu te soki, elongo na basoda na ye nkoto zomi, akoki kobundisa mokonzi oyo, elongo na basoda nkoto tuku mibale, azali koya kobundisa ye?
32 and if not, while he is yet far off, having sent an embassy, he asks for terms of peace.
Soki amoni ete akokoka te, wana monguna na ye azali nanu mosika, akotindela ye bato mpo na kosenga kimia.
33 Thus then every one of you who forsakes not all that is his own cannot be my disciple.
Boye, kati na bino, moto nyonso oyo akoki kokabwana te na biloko na ye nyonso akoki te kozala moyekoli na Ngai.
34 Salt [then] [is] good, but if the salt also has become savourless, wherewith shall it be seasoned?
Mungwa ezali malamu; kasi soki mungwa ebungisi elengi na yango, ndenge nini bakozongisa lisusu elengi na yango?
35 It is proper neither for land nor for dung; it is cast out. He that hath ears to hear, let him hear.
Ekozala lisusu na tina moko te, ezala mpo na mabele to mpo na kobongisa bilanga; kasi bakobwaka yango. Tika ete moto oyo azali na matoyi mpo na koyoka ayoka!
