Luke 10
1 After that, the Lord Jesus appointed 72 other [people]. He [prepared to] send them out, two-by-two, to every town and village where he [SYN] intended to go.
Sima na yango, Nkolo aponaki bayekoli tuku sambo na mibale mpe atindaki bango, mibale-mibale liboso na Ye, na bingumba nyonso mpe na bisika nyonso oyo Ye moko asengelaki kokende.
2 He said to them, “The [people who are ready to receive my message] are like a field [of] [MET] [grain] that is ready for [people] to harvest {to be harvested}. But there are not many people [to bring them to God]. So pray and ask the Lord [God] to send [more] workers [who will gather people together and teach them my message, just like a landowner sends workers] into his fields [to gather the] harvest.
Alobaki na bango: — Bambuma ya kobuka etondi meke kati na elanga, kasi basali bazali moke. Boye bosenga na Nkolo elanga ete atinda basali kati na elanga na Ye.
3 Start going; but [remember that] I am sending you [(pl)] out [to tell my message to people who will try to get rid of you. You will be] like lambs among wolves.
Bokende! Nazali kotinda bino lokola bampate kati na bambwa ya zamba.
4 Do not take along [any money in] a purse. Do not take a traveler’s bag. Do not take [extra] sandals. Do not [spend a lot of time] greeting people along the way.
Bomema mbongo te, sakosi te to basandale te, mpe bopesa moto moko te mbote na nzela.
5 Whenever you enter a house [to lodge there], first say to those people, ‘May [God give inner] peace to [you people] [MTY] [in] this house!’
Na ndako nyonso oyo bokokota, boloba liboso: « Tika ete kimia ezala na ndako oyo! »
6 If people who [live] there [are (desiring to have]/worthy of receiving) [God’s] peace, they will experience the [inner] peace that you are [offering them]. If people who [live] there [are not desiring to have God’s] peace, you [will experience God’s inner] peace, [but they will not].
Soki ezali na moto ya kimia kati na ndako yango, kimia na bino ekovanda likolo na ye; soki te, kimia yango ekozongela bino.
7 [If they welcome you], stay in that same house [until you leave that village]. Do not move around from one house to another. Eat and drink whatever they provide for you. A worker deserves to get pay [MET] [from the people for whom he works, so you deserve to receive food and a place to stay from the people to whom you go].
Bovanda kuna, bolia mpe bomela nyonso oyo bakopesa bino; pamba te mosali asengeli kozwa lifuti na mosala na ye. Botambola-tambola na bandako nyonso te.
8 Whenever you enter a town and the people [there] welcome you, eat what is provided {what [they] provide} for you.
Tango bokokota na engumba songolo, soki bayambi bino, bolia bilei oyo bakopesa bino,
9 Heal the people there who are sick. Tell them, ‘It is almost [time for] God to send his king to rule [MET] [your lives].’
bobikisa babeli oyo bazali kuna mpe boloba na bango: « Bokonzi ya Nzambe ekomi pene na bino. »
10 But if you enter a town whose [people] do not welcome you, go into its [main] streets and say,
Kasi tango bokokota na engumba songolo, soki baboyi koyamba bino, bokende na babalabala na yango mpe boloba:
11 ‘[Because you have refused to hear our message, we(exc) will not only leave], we will also shake off the dust of your town that clings to our sandals, to warn you [that God will reject/punish you]. But [we want you to know that] it is almost [the time when] God will start to rule!’
« Ezala putulu ya engumba na bino, topupoli yango wuta na makolo na biso, mpo na kokebisa bino. Nzokande, boyeba malamu ete Bokonzi ya Nzambe ekomi pene. »
12 I will tell you this: On the [MTY] [final] day when [God judges everyone], he will punish the wicked people [MTY] who long ago lived in Sodom, [the city that he destroyed because its people were so wicked]. But he will punish [even] more severely the people [MTY] of any town [whose people refused to hear your message]!”
Nazali koloba na bino penza ya solo: Na mokolo wana, etumbu na yango ekozala makasi koleka etumbu ya Sodome.
13 “There will be terrible [punishment] for [you people who live in] [MTY] Chorazin and Bethsaida [cities]. I did great miracles in your cities [to show God’s power, but you did not turn from your sinful behavior]. If the miracles that I performed in your [cities] had been done in Tyre and Sidon [cities], the wicked people who lived there would have long ago [shown that they were sorry for their sins by] sitting on the ground wearing coarse cloth and putting ashes on their heads.
Mawa na yo, Korazini! Mawa na yo, Betisaida! Pamba te soki bikamwa oyo esalemaki kati na bino esalemaki kati na bingumba Tiri mpe Sidoni, mbele wuta kala, bavandi na yango babongola mitema, balata basaki mpe bamipakola putulu.
14 [But they did not have the opportunity that you have, so when God punishes people, he will punish the wicked people who lived in] Tyre and Sidon, but he will punish you more severely [because you did not pay attention to my message].
Kasi, na kosambisama, etumbu na bino ekozala makasi koleka etumbu ya Tiri mpe Sidoni.
15 [I also have something to say to] you [people who live in] Capernaum [city]. (Do not [think that you will be honored] {[that God] will honor you} in heaven!/Do you [think that you will be honored] {[that God] will honor you} in heaven?) [RHQ] [That will not happen! On the contrary], [after you die, God] will send you down to the place where [sinful people] will be punished [forever]!” (Hadēs g86)
Mpe yo, Kapernawumi, okanisi ete okotombolama kino na Likolo? Te, okokitisama kino na mboka ya bakufi! (Hadēs g86)
16 [Jesus also said to the disciples, “God will consider that] those who listen to your [message] are listening to me, and that those who reject your [message] are rejecting me. And [he will consider that] those who reject me are rejecting [God], the one who sent me.”
Moto oyo atosi bino atosi nde Ngai, moto oyo aboyi bino aboyi nde Ngai, nzokande moto oyo aboyi Ngai aboyi nde Motindi na Ngai.
17 The 72 [people whom Jesus appointed went and did as he told them to]. When they returned, they were very joyful. They said, “Lord, [people did what we(exc) told them to do]! Demons also obeyed us when by your [(sg)] authority [MTY] [we commanded them to leave people]!”
Tango bayekoli yango tuku sambo na mibale bazongaki, batondaki na esengo mpe balobaki: — Nkolo, ezala milimo mabe etosi biso na Kombo na Yo!
18 Jesus replied, “[When those demons were obeying you, because God had enabled you to defeat them, it was as though] [MET] I saw Satan fall from heaven [as suddenly and quickly] as lightning [strikes].
Yesu azongisaki: — Namonaki Satana kokweya longwa na likolo, lokola mikalikali.
19 Listen! I have given you authority so that if you oppose evil spirits [MET] [they will not hurt you]. I have given you authority to defeat our enemy, [Satan]. Nothing shall hurt you.
Napesi bino bokonzi ya konyata banyoka mpe bakoto, mpe ya kolonga nguya nyonso ya monguna, mpe eloko moko te ekosala bino mabe.
20 But [although] you can rejoice that evil spirits obey you, you should rejoice [more] that your names have been written {that [God] has written your names} in heaven, [because you will be with God forever].”
Nzokande, bosepela te komona ete milimo mabe ezali kotosa bino; bosepela nde ete bakombo na bino ekomami kati na Likolo.
21 At that time the Holy Spirit caused [Jesus] to be very happy. He said, “Father, you [(sg)] rule over [everything in] heaven and [on] the earth! Some [people think that they are] wise [because] they are well-educated. But I thank you that you have prevented them from [knowing] these things. [Instead], you have revealed them to [people who accept your truth as readily] [MET] [as] little children [do]. Yes, Father, [you have done that] because it seemed good to you [to do] so.”
Kaka na tango yango, awa Molimo Mosantu atondisaki Ye na esengo, Yesu alobaki: — Oh Tata, Nkolo ya Likolo mpe ya mabele, nakumisi Yo! Pamba te obombaki makambo oyo, mpo ete bato ya bwanya mpe bato ya mayele bayeba yango te, kasi olakisi yango na bana mike. Iyo, Tata, pamba te yango nde osepelaki kosala.
22 [Jesus also said to the 72 disciples], “[God], my Father, has revealed to me all [I need to know and the power I need for my work]. Only my Father knows who I [really] am. Furthermore, only I and those [people] to whom I wish to reveal him know what [God] my Father is [like].”
Tata na Ngai apesa Ngai biloko nyonso. Moko te ayebi soki Mwana azali nani, longola kaka Tata; mpe moko te ayebi soki Tata azali nani, longola kaka Mwana mpe ye oyo epai ya nani Mwana asepeli kotalisa Tata.
23 Then when Jesus’ disciples were alone with him, he turned toward them and said, “[God] is pleased with you [SYN] who have seen [the things that I have done]!
Bongo, abalolaki miso na Ye epai ya bayekoli na Ye mpe alobaki na bango moko kaka: — Esengo na bato oyo bazali komona makambo oyo bozali komona!
24 I want you to know that many prophets and kings [who lived long ago] desired to see the things that you are seeing [me do], but these things did not [happen] then. They longed to hear the things that you have been hearing [me say], but these things were not [revealed to them] then.”
Pamba te, nazali koloba na bino: basakoli mpe bakonzi ebele batondaki na posa ya komona makambo oyo bino bozali komona, kasi bamonaki yango te; batondaki na posa ya koyoka makambo oyo bino bozali koyoka, kasi bayokaki yango te.
25 [One day as Jesus was teaching people], a man was there who had studied carefully the laws that [God gave Moses]. He wanted to ask Jesus a difficult question. So he stood up and asked, “Teacher, what shall I do in order to live [with God] forever?” (aiōnios g166)
Molakisi moko ya Mobeko atelemaki mpe atunaki mpo na komeka Yesu: — Moteyi, nasengeli kosala nini mpo ete nazwa bomoi ya seko? (aiōnios g166)
26 Jesus said to him, “You [(sg)] have read [RHQ] what [Moses] has written in the laws that [God gave him]. What did Moses write about living forever?”
Yesu alobaki na ye: — Makambo nini ekomama kati na mobeko? Otangaka yango ndenge nini?
27 The man replied, “[He wrote that] we [(inc)] must love the Lord our God. [We must show that] by what we feel and by what we do and by what we think. [He] also [wrote that we must love] people that we come in contact with as much as [we love] ourselves.”
Molakisi ya mibeko azongisaki: — Linga Nkolo, Nzambe na yo, na motema na yo mobimba, na molimo na yo mobimba, na makasi na yo nyonso mpe na makanisi na yo nyonso; mpe linga moninga na yo ndenge yo moko omilingaka.
28 Jesus replied, “You [(sg)] have answered [your question] correctly. If you do all that [continually], you will live [with God forever].”
Yesu alobaki na ye: — Opesi eyano ya malamu; sala bongo mpe okozala na bomoi.
29 But the man wanted to defend [the way] he [acted toward people that he came in contact with] (OR, to defend why he [had asked a question that Jesus answered so simply]). So he said to Jesus, “Which people that I come in contact with [should I love]?”
Kasi molakisi ya Mobeko alingaki kolakisa ete azali sembo, boye atunaki na Yesu: — Nani azali moninga na ngai?
30 Jesus replied [by telling him this illustration]: “A [Jewish] man was once going down along the road from Jerusalem to Jericho. Bandits attacked him. They took away [most of] the man’s clothes [and everything else that he had], and they beat him until he was almost dead. Then they left him.
Yesu azongisaki: — Moto moko azalaki kokende na Jeriko, wana awutaki na Yelusalemi. Na nzela, miyibi babetaki ye, babotolaki ye bilamba na ye, babetaki ye mpe bakendeki na bango, batikaki ye pene ya kokufa.
31 It happened that a [Jewish] priest was going along that road. When he saw that man, [instead of helping him], he passed by on the other side [of the road].
Nzokande, na tango yango kaka, esalemaki ete Nganga-Nzambe moko akende mpe azwa nzela yango kaka; tango kaka amonaki moto yango, akatisaki na ngambo mosusu ya nzela mpe akobaki mobembo na ye.
32 Similarly, a man who worked in the temple [in Jerusalem] came to that place and saw the man. But he also passed by on the other side [of the road].
Ndenge moko mpe Molevi moko akomaki na esika yango; tango kaka amonaki moto yango, akatisaki na ngambo mosusu ya nzela mpe akobaki mobembo na ye.
33 Then a man from Samaria [province] came along that road to where the man was lying. [People from Samaria despise Jews. But] when he saw that man, he pitied him.
Kasi moto moko ya Samari, wana azalaki kokende mobembo, akomaki na esika oyo moto yango azalaki; tango kaka amonaki ye, ayokelaki ye mawa,
34 He went over to him and put some [olive] oil and wine on his wounds [to help heal them]. He wound strips of cloth [around the wounds]. He placed the man on his own donkey and took him to an inn and took care of him.
apusanaki pene na ye, asopelaki bapota na ye mafuta mpe vino, mpe akangaki yango. Bongo amatisaki moto yango na likolo ya mile na ye moko, amemaki ye na ndako ya bapaya, mpe akobaki kosunga ye kuna.
35 The next morning he gave two silver coins to the innkeeper and said, ‘Take care of this man. If you [(sg)] spend more than this amount [to care for him], I will pay you back when I return.’”
Mokolo oyo elandaki, abimisaki mbongo ya bibende mibale mpe apesaki yango na nkolo ndako ya bapaya; alobaki na ye: « Salisa moto oyo malamu; tango nakozonga, nakozongisela yo mbongo nyonso oyo okobakisa! »
36 Then Jesus said, “Three people [saw] the man whom bandits attacked. Which one of them [acted in a loving way toward] that man?”
Yesu atunaki: — Mpo na yo, nani kati na bango misato azalaki moninga ya moto oyo akweyaki na maboko ya miyibi?
37 The man who studied the Scriptures replied, “The one who acted mercifully toward him.” Jesus said to him, “You [(sg)] go and act like that [toward] everyone whom [you can help]!”
Molakisi ya mibeko azongisaki: — Ezali moto oyo ayokelaki ye mawa. Yesu alobaki na ye: — Kende mpe sala bongo!
38 As Jesus and his disciples continued to travel, they entered a village [near Jerusalem]. A woman whose name was Martha invited them to come to her house.
Wana Yesu mpe bayekoli na Ye bazalaki kokende, Yesu akotaki na mboka moko, mpe mwasi moko oyo kombo na ye ezali Marte ayambaki Ye kati na ndako na ye.
39 Her [younger] sister, whose name was Mary, sat near Jesus. She was listening to what he was teaching.
Mari, ndeko mwasi ya Marte, ayaki kovanda na makolo ya Nkolo, mpe azalaki koyoka makambo oyo Nkolo azalaki koloba.
40 But Martha was very much concerned about preparing [a meal]. She went to Jesus and said, “Lord, (you do not seem to care that my sister has left me to prepare everything by myself!/do you not care that my sister has left me to prepare everything by myself?) [RHQ] Tell her that she should help me!”
Kasi, na tango yango, Marte amipesaki na misala nyonso ya ndako; ayaki na lombangu mpe alobaki: — Ah Nkolo, ozali komona te ete ndeko na ngai atiki ngai kosala ngai moko misala? Loba na ye ete asunga ngai!
41 But the Lord replied, “Martha, Martha, you [(sg)] are very worried about many things.
Nkolo azongiselaki ye: — Marte, Marte, ozali komitungisa mpe kominyokola mpo na makambo ebele,
42 But only one thing is truly necessary, and that is, [to listen to what I am teaching]. Mary has decided to [do that], and that is better [than worrying]. [The blessing that she is receiving from listening to me] will not be taken away from her {No one will take away from her [the blessing that she is receiving from listening to me]}.”
kasi likambo moko kaka ezali na tina. Mari aponi oyo eleki malamu, mpe moto ata moko te akobotola ye yango.
