Luke 7
1 When he had ended all his discourse in the hearing of the people, he entered Capernaum.
Sima na Yesu koloba makambo oyo nyonso epai ya bato, akotaki na Kapernawumi.
2 And a certain centurion's servant, who was dear to him, was sick, and about to die.
Kuna, mosali moko ya mokonzi ya basoda azalaki kobela mpe akomaki pene ya kokufa. Mokonzi yango ya basoda azalaki kolinga mingi mosali na ye.
3 And having heard about Jesus, he sent to him elders of the Jews, and besought him to come and save his servant.
Tango mokonzi ya basoda ayokaki sango na tina na Yesu, atindaki ndambo ya bampaka ya Bayuda epai na Yesu mpo na kosenga na Ye ete akende kobikisa mosali ya mokonzi ya basoda.
4 And they came to Jesus, and besought him earnestly, saying, He is worthy that thou shouldst do this for him;
Tango bakomaki epai ya Yesu, babondelaki Ye makasi; balobaki: — Tata wana abongi penza ete osalela ye likambo oyo asengi epai na Yo,
5 for he loveth our nation, and himself built the synagogue for us.
pamba te alingaka ekolo na biso, mpe ye nde atongaki ndako na biso ya mayangani.
6 And Jesus went with them. And when he was now not far from the house, the centurion sent friends, saying, Lord, trouble not thyself; for I am not worthy that thou shouldst come under my roof;
Boye Yesu akendeki elongo na bango. Kasi tango akomaki pene ya ndako, mokonzi ya basoda atindaki baninga na ye koloba na Yesu: — Nkolo, komitungisa na Yo te, pamba te nazali ya kokoka te mpo ete okota na ndako na ngai.
7 on which account I did not think myself worthy to come to thee; but command with a word, and let my servant be healed.
Ezali mpe mpo na yango nde namimonaki ete nabongi te mpo na koya epai na Yo. Kasi loba kaka liloba moko, mpe mosali na ngai akobika na bokono na ye.
8 For even I am a man set under authority, having soldiers under me; and I say to this one, Go, and he goeth; and to another, Come, and he cometh; and to my servant, Do this, and he doeth it.
Pamba te ngai moko mpe nazali na se ya bakonzi oyo baleki ngai, mpe ezali na basoda oyo bazali na se ya bokonzi na ngai. Soki nalobi na moko: « Kende, » akendaka; mpe na mosusu: « Yaka, » ayaka; bongo soki nalobi na mowumbu na ngai: « Sala mosala oyo, » asalaka yango.
9 And Jesus hearing this, wondered at him; and turning round said to the multitude that followed him, I say to you, Not even in Israel have I found such faith.
Tango Yesu ayokaki maloba oyo, akamwaki ye mingi; bongo abalukaki epai ya ebele ya bato oyo bazalaki kolanda Ye mpe alobaki: — Nazali koloba na bino penza ya solo: ezala kati na Isalaele, natikali nanu komona te kondima ya boye.
10 And they who were sent, returning to the house, found the servant well.
Tango bato oyo mokonzi ya basoda atindaki bazongaki na ndako, bakutaki mosali yango nzoto kolongono.
11 And it came to pass the day after, that he was going to a city called Nain; and many of his disciples were with him, and a great multitude.
Sima na yango, Yesu akendeki na engumba moko na kombo Nayini; bayekoli na Ye elongo na ebele ya bato balandaki Ye.
12 And as he came near the gate of the city, lo! there was carried out dead an only son of his mother, and she was a widow; and a great multitude from the city was with her.
Wana akomaki pene ya ekuke ya engumba, akutanaki na bato bazali kokende kokunda mwana mobali moko oyo awutaki kokufa: azalaki mwana kaka moko ya mwasi moko akufisa mobali. Mpe bato mingi ya engumba yango bazalaki elongo na mwasi yango.
13 And when the Lord saw her, he was moved with compassion for her, and said to her, Weep not.
Tango kaka Nkolo amonaki mwasi yango, ayokelaki ye mawa mingi mpe alobaki na ye: — Kolela te!
14 And he came up, and touched the bier; and they who bore it stood still; and he said, Young man, I say to thee, Rise.
Apusanaki mpe asimbaki tsipoyi oyo bazalaki komema na yango mwana oyo akufaki, mpe bato oyo bazalaki komema yango batelemaki. Yesu alobaki: — Elenge mobali, nalobi na yo, lamuka!
15 And he that was dead sat up and began to speak; and he gave him to his mother.
Moto oyo akufaki avandaki mpe abandaki koloba; mpe Yesu azongisaki ye epai ya mama na ye.
16 And fear seized on all, and they gave glory to God, saying, A great prophet hath risen up among us; and, God hath visited his people.
Bato nyonso batondaki na kobanga, bakomaki kokumisa Nzambe mpe koloba: — Mosakoli moko ya monene abimi kati na biso. Nzambe ayei kosunga bato na Ye!
17 And this report about him went forth in all Judaea, and in all the neighboring country.
Sango oyo na tina na Yesu epanzanaki kati na Yuda mpe kati na bamboka ya zingazinga.
18 And the disciples of John told him all these things.
Bayekoli ya Yoane bayebisaki makambo wana nyonso epai ya nkolo na bango. Yoane abengaki bayekoli na ye, mibale kati na bango,
19 And calling to him two of his disciples, John sent them to the Lord, saying, Art thou he that is to come, or are we to look for another?
mpe atindaki bango epai ya Nkolo Yesu mpo na kotuna: — Boni, ozali penza Ye oyo asengelaki koya to tosengeli kozela mosusu?
20 And the men came to him and said, John the Baptist hath sent us to thee, saying, Art thou he that is to come, or are we to look for another?
Tango bakomaki epai ya Yesu, balobaki na Ye: — Yoane Mobatisi atindi biso epai na Yo mpo ete totuna: « Boni, ozali penza Ye oyo asengelaki koya to tosengeli kozela mosusu? »
21 In that hour he cured many of diseases, and plagues, and evil spirits, and to many who were blind he gave sight.
Kaka na tango, Yesu abikisaki bato ebele na bokono, na pasi mpe na milimo mabe, mpe afungolaki miso ya bakufi miso ebele.
22 And he answered and said to them, Go and tell John what ye have seen and heard; that the blind receive sight, the lame walk, lepers are cleansed, the deaf hear, the dead are raised, to the poor good tidings are brought;
Boye, Yesu azongiselaki bayekoli oyo Yoane atindaki: — Bokende koyebisa Yoane makambo oyo bomoni mpe oyo boyoki: bakufi miso bazali komona, bakufi matoyi bazali koyoka, ba-ebosono bazali kotambola, bato na maba bazali kopetolama, bakufi bazali kosekwa, mpe Sango Malamu ezali kosakolama epai ya babola.
23 and blessed is he, whoever shall find no occasion of stumbling in me.
Esengo na moto oyo akokweyisa kondima na ye te likolo na Ngai!
24 And when the messengers of John had departed, he began to say to the multitudes concerning John, What have ye gone out into the wilderness to see? the reeds shaken by the wind?
Tango bato oyo Yoane atindaki bazongaki, Yesu akomaki koloba na ebele ya bato na tina na Yoane: — Eloko nini bokendeki kotala kati na esobe? Mwa nzete oyo mopepe ezalaki koningisa epai na epai?
25 But what have ye gone out to see? a man clothed in soft raiment? Lo! they who wear gorgeous apparel, and live luxuriously, are in kings' palaces.
Soki te, bokendeki penza kotala nini? Moto moko alata bilamba ya kitoko? Te! Bato oyo balataka bilamba ya kitoko mpe bamisepelisaka kati na bozwi na bango bavandaka kati na bandako ya bakonzi.
26 But what have ye gone out to see? A prophet? Yea, I say to you, and more than a prophet.
Kasi nani bino bokendeki penza kotala? Mosakoli? Iyo, nazali koloba na bino, mpe aleki kutu ata mosakoli.
27 This is he of whom it is written, “Lo! I send my messenger before thy face, who shall prepare thy way before thee.”
Yoane azali moto oyo Makomi ezali koloba boye na tina na ye: « Nakotinda ntoma na Ngai liboso na Yo, oyo akobongisela Yo nzela. »
28 I say to you, Among those born of women there is no greater prophet than John; but he that is least in the kingdom of God is greater than he.
Nazali koloba na bino: kati na bato oyo babotama na mwasi, moko te aleki Yoane na monene; nzokande, ye oyo aleki moke kati na Bokonzi ya Nzambe aleki Yoane Mobatisi na monene.
29 And all the people when they heard him, and the publicans, acknowledged God as righteous by being baptized with the baptism of John.
Bato nyonso elongo na bafutisi mpako oyo bayokaki maloba na Yesu bandimaki ete nzela ya Nzambe ezali sembo, pamba te Yoane abatisaki bango
30 But the Pharisees and the lawyers rejected the purpose of God toward themselves, not being baptized by him.
Kasi Bafarizeo mpe balakisi ya Mobeko baboyaki mokano ya Nzambe mpo na bango, pamba te baboyaki ete Yoane abatisa bango.
31 To what then shall I compare the men of this generation, and what are they like?
Boye Yesu alobaki: — Na nani penza nakokokanisa bato ya ekeke oyo? Bakokani penza na banani?
32 They are like children sitting in the market-place, and calling one to another, saying, We piped to you, and ye did not dance; we sung a dirge, and ye did not weep.
Bakokani penza na bana mike oyo bavandi na esika oyo bato ebele bakutanaka mpe bazali koganga, bamoko na bamosusu: « Tobetaki baflite, kasi bobinaki te; toyembelaki bino banzembo ya matanga, kasi bolelaki te! »
33 For John the Baptist hath come not eating bread, nor drinking wine; and ye say, He hath a demon.
Pamba te, tango Yoane Mobatisi ayaki, azalaki kolia mapa te mpe azalaki komela vino te, mpe bolobaki: « Azali na molimo mabe kati na ye! »
34 The Son of man hath come eating and drinking; and ye say, Behold, a glutton and a wine-bibber, a friend of publicans and sinners!
Mwana na Moto ayaki, azali kolia, azali komela, mpe bozali koloba: « Azali na lokoso ya kolia mpe ya komela masanga, moninga ya bafutisi mpako mpe ya bato ya masumu! »
35 But wisdom is acknowledged by all her children.
Kasi bato nyonso oyo bayambaka Bwanya ya Nzambe batalisaka ete ezali sembo.
36 And one of the Pharisees asked him to eat with him; and he went into the Pharisee's house, and reclined at the table.
Mofarizeo moko abengisaki Yesu mpo ete alia mesa moko elongo na ye. Yesu akendeki na ndako ya Mofarizeo yango mpe avandaki na mesa mpo na kolia.
37 And lo! a woman who was in the city, a sinner, learning that he was at table in the Pharisee's house, brought an alabaster-bottle of ointment,
Nzokande, kati na engumba yango, ezalaki na mwasi moko oyo azalaki kobika bomoi ya masumu. Tango ayokaki ete Yesu azali kolia na ndako ya Mofarizeo, ayaki wana na molangi ya alibatre etonda na malasi,
38 and standing behind at his feet, weeping, began to wet his feet with tears, and wiped them with the hair of her head, and kissed his feet, and anointed them with the ointment.
atelemaki na sima ya Yesu, na makolo na Ye; azalaki kolela mpe, na mpinzoli na ye, akomaki kopolisa makolo ya Yesu. Bongo apangusaki makolo yango na nzela ya suki na ye, apesaki yango beze mpe asopelaki yango malasi.
39 And the Pharisee who had invited him, when he saw this, said within himself, This man, if he were a prophet, would know who, and what sort of woman, this is that toucheth him; for she is a sinner.
Tango Mofarizeo oyo abengisaki Yesu amonaki bongo, amilobelaki: — Soki moto oyo azali mosakoli, alingaki koyeba soki mwasi oyo azali kosimba Ye azali nani, mpe soki azali mwasi ya lolenge nini: moto ya masumu.
40 And Jesus answering said to him, Simon, I have somewhat to say to thee. And he saith, Teacher, say on.
Yesu alobaki na ye: — Simona, nazali na likambo ya koyebisa yo. Mofarizeo azongisaki: — Moteyi, loba yango.
41 A certain money-lender had two debtors; one owed five hundred denaries, and the other fifty.
Yesu alobaki: — Moto moko adefisaki bato mibale mbongo. Moto ya liboso asengelaki kozongisa mbongo ya bibende nkama mitano, mpe oyo ya mibale, mbongo ya bibende tuku mitano.
42 When they had nothing to pay, he freely remitted the debt of both. Which of them, now, will love him the most?
Kasi lokola, kati na bango mibale, moko te azalaki na mbongo ya kozongisa, modefisi alimbisaki bango mpo ete bafuta lisusu niongo yango te. Na makanisi na yo, nani kati na bango mibale akolinga modefisi koleka?
43 Simon answering said, He, I suppose, to whom he remitted the most. And he said to him, Thou hast judged rightly.
Simona azongisaki: — Nakanisi ete ezali moto oyo balimbisi niongo ya mbongo oyo eleki ebele. Yesu alobaki na ye: — Okati malamu!
44 And turning to the woman, he said to Simon, Seest thou this woman? I entered thy house, no water didst thou give me for my feet; but she wet my feet with tears, and wiped them with her hair.
Bongo abalukaki epai ya mwasi, mpe alobaki na Simona: — Omoni mwasi oyo? Tango nakotaki na ndako na yo, opesaki Ngai mayi te ya kosukola makolo na Ngai; kasi ye, apolisi yango na mpinzoli na ye mpe apangusi yango na nzela ya suki na ye.
45 No kiss didst thou give me; but she, from the time I came in, did not cease to kiss my feet.
Opesaki Ngai beze te; kasi ye, banda nakotaki awa, atiki te kopesa makolo na Ngai beze.
46 My head with oil thou didst not anoint; but she anointed my feet with costly ointment.
Opakolaki Ngai mafuta te na moto; kasi ye, asopeli makolo na Ngai malasi.
47 Wherefore, I say to thee, her many sins have been forgiven; for she loved much; but he to whom little is forgiven loveth little.
Yango wana, nazali koloba na yo: ebele ya masumu na ye elimbisami, lokola atalisi bolingo monene. Kasi moto oyo balimbisaki niongo moke azali kotalisa bolingo moke.
48 And he said to her, Thy sins have been forgiven.
Bongo Yesu alobaki na mwasi: — Masumu na yo elimbisami.
49 And those who were at table with him began to say within themselves, Who is this that even forgiveth sins?
Bato mosusu oyo babengamaki elongo na Ye bakomaki koloba, bango na bango: — Moto oyo azali penza nani, oyo akomi ata kolimbisa masumu?
50 But he said to the woman, Thy faith hath saved thee; go in peace.
Kasi Yesu alobaki na mwasi yango: — Kondima na yo ebikisi yo; kende na kimia!
