Luke 14
1 And it came to pass, when he entered into the house of one of the rulers of the Pharisees, on a Sabbath, to eat bread, that, they, were narrowly 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 lo! there was, a certain man, who had the dropsy, before him.
Liboso na Ye, ezalaki na moto moko oyo azalaki kobela bokono ya kovimba nzoto.
3 And Jesus, answering, spake unto the Lawyers and Pharisees, saying—Is it allowed, on the Sabbath, to cure, or not? But, they, held their peace.
Yesu atunaki Bafarizeo mpe balakisi ya Mobeko: — Boni, mobeko na biso epesaka nzela ya kobikisa moto na mokolo ya Saba to te?
4 And taking hold [of him] he healed and dismissed him, —
Kasi bavandaki kimia. Yesu asimbaki mobeli yango, abikisaki ye na bokono na ye mpe azongisaki ye.
5 and, unto them, said—Which of you, shall have a son or an ox that, into a pit, shall fall, and will not straightway pull him up, on the day of rest?
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 could not return an answer unto these things.
Bakokaki te kopesa Ye eyano.
7 And he went on to speak, unto the invited, a parable, —observing how, the first couches, they were choosing; saying unto them—
Tango Yesu amonaki ndenge nini bato oyo babengamaki na feti bazalaki kopona bisika ya lokumu, alobaki na bango lisese oyo:
8 Whensoever thou hast been invited by anyone unto a marriage feast, do not recline on the first couch; lest once, a more honourable than thou, have been 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 that invited both thee and him should come, and say unto thee—Give, unto this one, place! and, then, thou shouldst begin, with shame, the last place, to occupy.
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, whensoever thou hast been invited, pass on and fall back into the last place, that, whensoever he that hath invited thee shall come, he may say unto thee—Friend! come close up, higher. Then, shalt thou have honour before all who are reclining together 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 Because, everyone who exalteth himself, shall be abased; and, he that abaseth himself, shall be exalted?
Solo, moto nyonso oyo amitombolaka, bakokitisa ye; mpe moto oyo amikitisaka, bakotombola ye. »
12 Moreover he went on to say, unto him also who had invited him, —Whensoever thou mayest be making a dinner or a supper, do not call thy friends, or thy brothers, or thy kinsfolk, or rich neighbours, —lest once, they also, invite thee in return, and it become a recompense unto 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, whensoever, an entertainment, thou mayest be making, invite the destitute, the tried, the lame, the blind;
Kasi Soki osali feti, bengisa babola, bakufi miso, bakakatani mpe ba-ebosono;
14 and, happy, shalt thou be, that they have not wherewith to recompense thee, for it shall be recompensed unto thee, in the resurrection of the righteous.
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 reclining together, hearing these things, said unto him—Happy, whoever 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 But, he, said unto him—A certain man, was making a great supper, and invited many;
Yesu azongiselaki ye: — Moto moko asalaki feti monene mpe abengisaki bato ebele.
17 and he sent out his servant, at the hour of the supper, to say unto the invited—Be coming! because, even now, is it, 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 they all began, one after another to excuse themselves. The first, said unto him—A field, have I bought, and have need to go out and see it: I request thee, hold me 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—Five yoke of oxen, have I bought, and am going my way to prove them; I request thee, hold me excused.
Moto ya mibale alobaki: « Nawuti kosomba bangombe zomi, nasengeli komeka yango; nabondeli yo, limbisa ngai! »
20 And, another, said—A wife, have I married, and, for this cause, I cannot come!
Moto mosusu alobaki: « Nawuti kobala mwasi; nakoki koya te. »
21 And, going near, the servant reported unto his lord these things. Then, provoked to anger, the master of the house said unto his servant—Go out quickly, into the broadways and streets of the city, —and, the destitute, and tried, and blind, and lame, bring thou in here.
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 servant said—Lord! what thou didst order, hath been done; and, yet, there is, 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 unto the servant—Go out among the highways and fences, and compel them 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 unto you—Not one of those men who had been 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 there were journeying together with him many multitudes; and, turning, he said unto them—
Ebele ya bato bazalaki kokende elongo na Yesu. Yesu abalukaki mpo na kotala bango mpe alobaki:
26 If anyone cometh unto me, and hateth not his own father, and mother, and wife, and children, and brothers, and sisters, further also, even his own life, 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 Whoever beareth not his own cross, and cometh 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, who from among you, wishing to build a tower, doth not first sit down and count the cost, —whether he hath sufficient for completion;
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 lest once, he having laid a foundation, and not being able to finish, all who are looking on, should 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, moving on to encounter, another king, in battle, will not sit down first and take counsel, whether he is able, with ten thousand, to meet him who, with twenty thousand, is coming against him.
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, by any means, while he is yet afar off, he sendeth, an embassy, and requesteth the conditions of peace.
Soki amoni ete akokoka te, wana monguna na ye azali nanu mosika, akotindela ye bato mpo na kosenga kimia.
33 Thus, therefore, everyone from amongst you, who doth not bid adieu unto all his own possessions, 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 Good, therefore is the salt; but, if, even the salt, become tasteless, wherewith shall it be seasoned?
Mungwa ezali malamu; kasi soki mungwa ebungisi elengi na yango, ndenge nini bakozongisa lisusu elengi na yango?
35 Neither for land nor for manure, is it, fit: outside, they cast it! 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!
