Matthew 17
1 After six days, Jesus took with him Peter, James, and John his brother, and brought them up into a high mountain by themselves.
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 He was transfigured before them. His face shone like the sun, and his garments became as white as the light.
Yesu abongolamaki na miso na bango: elongi na Ye ekomaki kongenga lokola moyi, bilamba na Ye ekomaki pembe makasi lokola pole.
3 And look, Moses and Elijah appeared to them talking with him.
Mbala moko, bamonaki Moyize mpe Eliya bazali kosolola na Yesu.
4 Peter answered, and said to Jesus, "Lord, it is good for us to be here. If you want, let us make three tents here: one for you, one for Moses, and one for Elijah."
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 While he was still speaking, look, a bright cloud overshadowed them. And look, a voice came out of the cloud, saying, "This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased. Listen to 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 When the disciples heard it, they fell on their faces, and were very afraid.
Tango bayekoli bayokaki mongongo yango, bakweyaki bilongi kino na mabele mpo ete somo makasi ekangaki bango.
7 Jesus came and touched them and said, "Get up, and do not be afraid."
Kasi Yesu apusanaki pene na bango, asimbaki bango mpe alobaki: — Botelema, bobanga te!
8 And when they lifted up their eyes, they saw no one except Jesus alone.
Batombolaki miso mpe bamonaki moto mosusu te, kaka Yesu.
9 As they were coming down from the mountain, Jesus commanded them, saying, "Do not tell anyone what you saw, until the Son of Man has 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 The disciples asked him, saying, "Then why do the scribes say that Elijah must come first?"
Bayekoli batunaki Yesu: — Mpo na nini balakisi ya Mobeko balobaka ete Eliya asengeli koya moto ya liboso?
11 And he answered and said, "Elijah indeed comes, and will restore all things,
Yesu azongisaki: — Solo, Eliya asengeli koya mpe akozongisa makambo nyonso na molongo.
12 but I tell you that Elijah has come already, and they did not recognize him, but did to him whatever they wanted to. Even so the Son of Man will also suffer by 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 spoke to them of John the Baptist.
Bayekoli basosolaki ete azalaki kolobela bango na tina na Yoane Mobatisi.
14 And when they came to the crowd, a man came to him, knelt before him,
Tango bakomaki pene ya esika oyo ebele ya bato bazalaki, moto moko apusanaki pene na Yesu, afukamaki liboso na Ye mpe alobaki:
15 and said, "Lord, have mercy on my son, for he is epileptic, and suffers severely; for he often falls 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 So I brought him to your disciples, and they could not cure him."
Namemaki ye epai ya bayekoli na Yo, kasi bakoki te kobikisa ye.
17 Jesus answered, "Faithless and perverse generation. How long will I be with you? How long will I bear with you? Bring him here 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 Jesus rebuked him, the demon went out of him, and the boy 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 the disciples came to Jesus privately, and said, "Why weren't we able to cast it out?"
Bongo bayekoli bakendeki na nkuku epai ya Yesu mpe batunaki: — Mpo na nini, biso, tolongaki te kobengana molimo yango?
20 So he said to them, "Because of your little faith. For truly I tell you, if you have faith as a grain of mustard seed, you will tell this mountain, 'Move from here to there,' and it will move; and nothing will be impossible for 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. [
Kasi lolenge oyo ya milimo mabe ebimaka kaka na nzela ya mabondeli mpe ya kokila bilei.]
22 While they were gathering together in Galilee, Jesus said to them, "The Son of Man is about to be delivered up 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 will kill him, and the third day he will be raised up." They were exceedingly sorry.
bakoboma Ye, mpe, na mokolo ya misato, akosekwa. Bayekoli bayokaki mawa mingi.
24 When they had come to Capernaum, those who collected the didrachma coins came to Peter, and said, "Does not your teacher pay the didrachma?"
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." When he came into the house, Jesus anticipated him, saying, "What do you think, Simon? From whom do the kings of the earth receive toll or tribute? From their children, or from 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 when he said, "From strangers." Jesus said to him, "Therefore the children are exempt.
Petelo azongisaki: — Bapaya. Yesu alobaki na ye: — Lokola ezali bongo, bana mboka basengeli kofuta te.
27 But, lest we cause them to stumble, go to the sea, cast a hook, and take up the first fish that comes up. When you have opened its mouth, you will find a stater coin. Take that, and give it to them for me and you."
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.
