Matthew 17
1 And after six days Jesus taketh unto him Peter and James, and John his brother, and bringeth them up into a high mountain apart:
Sima na mikolo motoba, Yesu azwaki Petelo, Jake mpe Yoane, ndeko mobali ya Jake; amemaki bango na pembeni, na likolo ya ngomba moko ya molayi.
2 And he was transfigured before them. And his face did shine as the sun: and his garments became white as snow.
Yesu abongolamaki na miso na bango: elongi na Ye ekomaki kongenga lokola moyi, bilamba na Ye ekomaki pembe makasi lokola pole.
3 And behold there appeared to them Moses and Elias talking with him.
Mbala moko, bamonaki Moyize mpe Eliya bazali kosolola na Yesu.
4 And Peter answering, said to Jesus: Lord, it is good for us to be here: if thou wilt, let us make here three tabernacles, one for thee, and one for Moses, and one for Elias.
Petelo alobaki na Yesu: — Nkolo, eleki malamu mpo na biso kotikala awa! Soki ondimi, nakotonga bandako misato ya kapo: moko mpo na Yo, moko mpo na Moyize, mpe moko mpo na Eliya!
5 And as he was yet speaking, behold a bright cloud overshadowed them. And lo, a voice out of the cloud, saying: This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased: hear ye him.
Wana azalaki nanu koloba, lipata moko ezalaki kongenga lokola moyi, ezipaki bango, mpe mongongo moko eyokanaki wuta kati na lipata yango: « Oyo azali Mwana na Ngai ya bolingo, nasepelaka na Ye mingi; boyoka Ye! »
6 And the disciples hearing, fell upon their face, and were very much afraid.
Tango bayekoli bayokaki mongongo yango, bakweyaki bilongi kino na mabele mpo ete somo makasi ekangaki bango.
7 And Jesus came and touched them: and said to them, Arise, and fear not.
Kasi Yesu apusanaki pene na bango, asimbaki bango mpe alobaki: — Botelema, bobanga te!
8 And they lifting up their eyes saw no one but only Jesus.
Batombolaki miso mpe bamonaki moto mosusu te, kaka Yesu.
9 And as they came down from the mountain, Jesus charged them, saying: Tell the vision to no man, till the Son of man be risen from the dead.
Wana bazalaki kokita na ngomba, Yesu apesaki bango mitindo oyo: — Makambo oyo bowuti komona, boyebisa yango na moto moko te kino tango Mwana na Moto akosekwa kati na bakufi.
10 And his disciples asked him, saying: Why then do the scribes say that Elias must come first?
Bayekoli batunaki Yesu: — Mpo na nini balakisi ya Mobeko balobaka ete Eliya asengeli koya moto ya liboso?
11 But he answering, said to them: Elias indeed shall come, and restore all things.
Yesu azongisaki: — Solo, Eliya asengeli koya mpe akozongisa makambo nyonso na molongo.
12 But I say to you, that Elias is already come, and they knew him not, but have done unto him whatsoever they had a mind. So also the Son of man shall suffer from them.
Kasi Ngai, nazali koloba na bino ete Eliya asilaki koya; kasi na esika ya koyeba ye, basalaki ye ndenge balingaki. Ezali mpe ndenge wana nde bakonyokola Mwana na Moto.
13 Then the disciples understood, that he had spoken to them of John the Baptist.
Bayekoli basosolaki ete azalaki kolobela bango na tina na Yoane Mobatisi.
14 And when he was come to the multitude, there came to him a man falling down on his knees before him, saying:
Tango bakomaki pene ya esika oyo ebele ya bato bazalaki, moto moko apusanaki pene na Yesu, afukamaki liboso na Ye mpe alobaki:
15 Lord, have pity on my son, for he is a lunatic, and suffereth much: for he falleth often into the fire, and often into the water.
— Nkolo, yokela mwana na ngai ya mobali mawa! Azali na maladi ya ndeke mpe azali penza komona pasi: akweyaka mbala mingi na moto to na mayi.
16 And I brought him to thy disciples, and they could not cure him.
Namemaki ye epai ya bayekoli na Yo, kasi bakoki te kobikisa ye.
17 Then Jesus answered and said: O unbelieving and perverse generation, how long shall I be with you? How long shall I suffer you? bring him hither to me.
Yesu alobaki: — Ekeke ya bato mabe mpe bazanga kondima! Kino tango nini nakozala na bino elongo? Kino tango nini nakokanga motema mpo na bino? Bomemela Ngai mwana yango.
18 And Jesus rebuked him, and the devil went out of him, and the child was cured from that hour.
Yesu abenganaki molimo mabe, mpe molimo mabe yango ebimaki kati na mwana. Kaka na tango yango, mwana abikaki.
19 Then came the disciples to Jesus secretly, and said: Why could not we cast him out?
Bongo bayekoli bakendeki na nkuku epai ya Yesu mpe batunaki: — Mpo na nini, biso, tolongaki te kobengana molimo yango?
20 Jesus said to them: Because of your unbelief. For, amen I say to you, if you have faith as a grain of mustard seed, you shall say to this mountain, Remove from hence hither, and it shall remove; and nothing shall be impossible to you.
Yesu azongiselaki bango: — Ezali mpo ete bozali na kondima moke. Nazali koloba na bino penza ya solo: soki kondima na bino ezalaki lokola mbuma ya mutarde, bokokaki koloba na ngomba oyo: « Longwa awa, kende kuna; » mpe ekokende penza. Eloko moko te ekoki kozanga kosalemela bino. [
21 But this kind is not cast out but by prayer and fasting.
Kasi lolenge oyo ya milimo mabe ebimaka kaka na nzela ya mabondeli mpe ya kokila bilei.]
22 And when they abode together in Galilee, Jesus said to them: The Son of man shall be betrayed into the hands of men:
Mokolo moko, bayekoli basanganaki bango nyonso kati na Galile; Yesu alobaki na bango: — Bakokaba Mwana na Moto na maboko ya bato,
23 And they shall kill him, and the third day he shall rise again. And they were troubled exceedingly.
bakoboma Ye, mpe, na mokolo ya misato, akosekwa. Bayekoli bayokaki mawa mingi.
24 And when they were come to Capharnaum, they that received the didrachmas, came to Peter and said to him: Doth not your master pay the didrachmas?
Tango Yesu mpe bayekoli na Ye bakomaki na Kapernawumi, bafutisi mpako ya Ndako ya Nzambe bayaki epai ya Petelo mpe batunaki: — Boni, moteyi na bino afutaka mpako ya Ndako ya Nzambe te?
25 He said: Yes. And when he was come into the house, Jesus prevented him, saying: What is thy opinion, Simon? The kings of the earth, of whom do they receive tribute or custom? of their own children, or of strangers?
Petelo azongisaki: — Afutaka! Tango Petelo akotaki na ndako, Yesu azwaki maloba moto ya liboso mpe atunaki ye: — Simona, okanisi nini? Banani bafutaka mpako epai ya bakonzi ya mokili: bana na bango to bapaya?
26 And he said: Of strangers. Jesus said to him: Then the children are free.
Petelo azongisaki: — Bapaya. Yesu alobaki na ye: — Lokola ezali bongo, bana mboka basengeli kofuta te.
27 But that we may not scandalize them, go to the sea, and cast in a hook: and that fish which shall first come up, take: and when thou hast opened its mouth, thou shalt find a stater: take that, and give it to them for me and thee.
Nzokande, mpo ete totia mobulu te kati na makanisi na bango, kende na ebale, bwaka ndobo na mayi mpe kamata mbisi oyo okozwa ya liboso; fungola monoko na yango mpe okomona mbongo moko ya bibende kati na yango; kamata mbongo yango mpe futa mpako na Ngai mpe mpako na yo, na maboko na bango.
