Matthew 9
1 So Jesus took a boat back across the lake to the town where he lived.
Yesu amataki na bwato, akatisaki ebale mpe akendeki na engumba na Ye.
2 There they brought to him a paralyzed man lying on a mat. When Jesus saw how they trusted him, he told the paralyzed man, “My friend, cheer up! Your sins are forgiven.”
Bamemelaki Ye ebosono moko alala na tsipoyi. Tango Yesu amonaki kondima na bango, alobaki na ebosono yango: — Mwana na Ngai, yika mpiko! Masumu na yo elimbisami.
3 In response some of the religious teachers said to themselves, “He's speaking blasphemy!”
Mpo na yango, ndambo ya balakisi ya Mobeko bakomaki kolobaloba na se ya mitema: — Moto oyo azali kotiola Nzambe!
4 But Jesus knew what they were thinking. He asked them, “Why are you thinking evil thoughts in your minds?
Lokola Yesu asosolaki makanisi na bango, atunaki bango: — Mpo na nini bozali na makanisi mabe kati na mitema na bino?
5 What is easier to say, ‘Your sins are forgiven,’ or ‘Get up and walk’?
Likambo nini eleki pete mpo na koloba: « Masumu na yo elimbisami to telema mpe tambola? »
6 But to convince you that the Son of man does have the authority to forgive sins…” he said to the paralyzed man, “Get up, pick up your mat, and go home!”
Ezali mpo boyeba ete Mwana na Moto azali na bokonzi ya kolimbisa masumu kati na mokili. Bongo alobaki na ebosono: — Telema, kamata tsipoyi na yo mpe zonga na ndako na yo.
7 The man got up and went home.
Moto yango atelemaki mpe akendeki na ndako na ye.
8 When the crowds saw what had happened, they were scared. Then they praised God that he had given human beings such power.
Tango ebele ya bato bamonaki bongo, batondaki na somo mpe bakomaki kokumisa Nzambe oyo apesi bokonzi ya ndenge wana epai ya bato.
9 As Jesus moved on from there he saw a man called Matthew sitting at the tax booth. Jesus called to him, “Follow me!” He got up, and followed Jesus.
Wana Yesu alongwaki na esika yango mpe azalaki kokende, amonaki mobali moko avandi na ndako na ye ya mosala epai wapi bafutaka mpako; kombo na ye ezalaki « Matayo. » Yesu alobaki na ye: « Landa Ngai. » Boye Matayo atelemaki mpe alandaki Yesu.
10 While Jesus was eating at Matthew's home, many tax-collectors and sinners came and sat down at the table with Jesus and his disciples.
Wana Yesu azalaki kolia kati na ndako ya Matayo, bafutisi mpako ebele mpe bato mosusu ya masumu bayaki mpe baliaki mesa moko na Yesu elongo na bayekoli na Ye.
11 When the Pharisees saw this they asked Jesus' disciples, “Why does your Teacher eat with tax-collectors and sinners?”
Tango Bafarizeo bamonaki bongo, batunaki bayekoli ya Yesu: — Mpo na nini moteyi na bino azali kolia mesa moko na bafutisi mpako mpe bato ya masumu?
12 When Jesus heard the question, he replied, “Those who are well don't need a doctor, but sick people do.
Kasi lokola Yesu ayokaki Bafarizeo koloba bongo, alobaki na bango: — Bato oyo bazali kolongono na nzoto bazalaka na posa ya monganga te; ezali babeli nde bazalaka na posa na ye.
13 Go and discover what this means: ‘I want mercy, not sacrifice. For I didn't come to call those who do what's right—I came to call sinners.’”
Bokende koyekola tina ya maloba oyo: « Nasepelaka na motema ya boboto koleka mbeka, » pamba te nayaki te koluka bato ya sembo, kasi bato ya masumu.
14 Then the disciples of John came and asked, “Why is that we and the Pharisees fast frequently, but your disciples don't?”
Bongo bayekoli ya Yoane bayaki mpe batunaki Yesu: — Mpo na nini biso mpe Bafarizeo tokilaka bilei, kasi bayekoli na yo bakilaka bilei te?
15 “Do wedding guests mourn while the bridegroom is with them?” Jesus responded. “But the time is coming when the bridegroom will be taken from them, and then they will fast.
Yesu azongiselaki bango: — Boni, bato oyo babengami na feti ya libala bakoki solo kozala na mawa, wana mobali ya libala azali elongo na bango? Nzokande, tango ezali koya oyo bakolongola mobali ya libala kati na bango; mpe ekozala na tango wana nde bakokila bilei.
16 No one puts a new patch on old clothes, otherwise it will shrink and make the tear worse.
Moto moko te asalelaka eteni ya elamba ya sika mpo na kobamba elamba ya kala, noki te eteni ya elamba ya sika ekopasola elamba ya kala, mpe ekosala lidusu monene koleka.
17 No one puts new wine in old wineskins either, otherwise the wineskins will burst, spilling the wine and ruining the wineskins. No, new wine is put into new wineskins, and both last.”
Ezali mpe ndenge moko mpo na vino ya sika: batiaka yango te kati na bambeki ya kala, noki te bambeki ekopasuka, vino ekosopana mpe bambeki ekobeba libela. Nzokande, batiaka kaka vino ya sika kati na bambeki ya sika; na bongo, vino mpe bambeki ekobatelama malamu.
18 While he was telling them this, one of the leading officials came and bowed before him. “My daughter has just died,” the man told Jesus. “But if you come and place your hand on her, I know she will come back to life.”
Wana Yesu azalaki koloba na bango, mokambi moko ayaki; agumbamaki liboso ya Yesu mpe alobaki na Ye: — Mwana na ngai ya mwasi akufi kaka sik’oyo; yaka, tiela ye loboko, mpe akozonga lisusu na bomoi.
19 Jesus and his disciples got up and followed him.
Yesu atelemaki mpe, elongo na bayekoli na Ye, alandaki mokambi yango.
20 At that moment a woman who had been sick with bleeding for twelve years came up behind him and touched the hem of his cloak.
Na tango yango kaka, ezalaki na mwasi moko oyo azalaki na bokono ya kotanga makila, mpe bokono yango ewumelaki mibu pene zomi na mibale. Mwasi yango ayaki na sima ya Yesu mpe asimbaki singa ya songe ya elamba na Ye,
21 She had told herself, “If I can just touch his cloak, I'll be healed.”
pamba te azalaki komilobela: — Soki kaka nasimbi elamba na Ye, nakobika na bokono na ngai.
22 Jesus turned and saw her. “Be happy, for your trust in me has healed you,” he told her. The woman was immediately healed.
Yesu atalaki na sima mpe amonaki ye; alobaki: — Mwana na Ngai ya mwasi, yika mpiko! Kondima na yo ebikisi yo. Mpe kaka na tango yango, mwasi yango abikaki na bokono na ye.
23 Jesus arrived at the official's house. He saw the flute-players and the crowd that was weeping loudly.
Tango Yesu akomaki na ndako ya mokambi ya ndako ya mayangani, amonaki babeti flite mpe bato ebele bazali kotia makelele.
24 “Please leave,” he told them, “For the girl isn't dead, she's just asleep.” But they laughed and made fun of him.
Alobaki na bango: — Bobima! Mwana akufi te; alali nde pongi. Kasi bato bakomaki kotiola Ye.
25 But once the crowd had been sent out, he went in and took the girl by the hand, and she got up.
Mpe sima na bango kobima libanda, Yesu akotaki na shambre, asimbaki elenge mwasi na loboko, mpe elenge mwasi yango alamukaki.
26 News of what happened spread throughout that region.
Sango ya likambo yango epanzanaki na etuka wana mobimba.
27 As Jesus continued on from there, two blind men followed him, shouting, “Son of David, please have mercy on us!”
Tango Yesu alongwaki wana, bakufi miso mibale balandaki Ye na koganga: — Mwana ya Davidi, yokela biso mawa!
28 When Jesus arrived at the house where he was staying, the blind men came in too. “Are you convinced that I'm able to do this?” he asked them. “Yes, Lord,” they replied.
Tango Yesu akomaki na ndako, bakufi miso bapusanaki pene na Ye. Atunaki bango: — Bondimi ete nazali na makoki ya kosala oyo bozali kosenga Ngai? Bazongisaki: — Iyo, Nkolo!
29 Then Jesus touched their eyes, and said, “Because of your trust in me it will happen!”
Bongo asimbaki miso na bango mpe alobaki: — Tika ete esalemela bino kolanda kondima na bino!
30 And they could see. Then Jesus warned them, “Make sure nobody knows about this.”
Mpe mbala moko, bakomaki komona. Bongo Yesu akebisaki bango: — Bosala keba ete moto moko te ayeba likambo oyo ekomeli bino.
31 But they went and spread the word about Jesus everywhere.
Kasi bango, tango kaka babimi, bakomaki kopanza sango na Ye kati na etuka wana mobimba.
32 As Jesus and his disciples were leaving, a man was brought to him who was dumb and demon-possessed.
Wana bato wana mibale bazalaki kobima, bamemelaki Yesu moto moko oyo azalaki na se ya bokonzi ya molimo mabe mpe azalaki koloba te.
33 Once the demon had been thrown out of him, the dumb man spoke, and the crowds were amazed. “Nothing ever happened like this before in Israel,” they said.
Yesu abenganaki molimo mabe yango, mpe moto oyo azalaki koloba te akomaki koloba. Ebele ya bato bakamwaki mpe balobaki: — Kati na Isalaele, totikala nanu komona likambo ya boye te!
34 But the Pharisees remarked, “He throws out demons using the power of the chief of demons.”
Kasi Bafarizeo bazalaki koloba: — Azali kobengana milimo mabe na nguya ya mokonzi ya milimo mabe.
35 Jesus went all over, visiting the towns and villages. He taught in their synagogues, telling them about the good news of the kingdom, and he healed all kinds of sicknesses and diseases.
Yesu azalaki kotambola na bamboka mpe na bingumba nyonso, azalaki koteya kati na bandako na bango ya mayangani mpe kosakola Sango Malamu ya Bokonzi; azalaki kobikisa bato na bokono mpe na pasi ya ndenge na ndenge.
36 When he saw the crowds, Jesus was deeply moved with compassion for them, because they were troubled and helpless, like sheep without a shepherd.
Tango Yesu amonaki ngulupa ebele ya bato, ayokelaki bango mawa, pamba te mitema na bango ebukanaki, mpe balembaki makasi lokola bameme oyo ezangi mobateli.
37 He told his disciples, “The harvest is large, but there are only a few workers.
Yesu alobaki na bayekoli na Ye: « Elanga ezali monene, kasi basali bazali moke!
38 Pray to the Lord of the harvest, and ask him to send more workers for his harvest.”
Yango wana, bosenga na Nkolo elanga ete atinda basali kati na elanga na Ye. »
