Matthew 8
1 When Jesus went down from the hillside, large crowds followed him.
Tango Yesu akitaki na ngomba, bato ebele penza balandaki Ye.
2 [After he left the crowds], a man who had [the skin disease called] leprosy unexpectedly came and knelt before him. He said [to Jesus], “Lord/Sir, [please heal me, because I know] you are able to heal me if you are willing to.”
Moto moko na maba ayaki, agumbamaki liboso na Ye mpe alobaki: — Nkolo, soki olingi, komisa ngai peto.
3 Then Jesus, [disregarding the religious law that forbade people to come close to lepers], stretched out his hand and touched the man. He said [to him], “I am willing to [heal you], and I heal you [now]!” Immediately the man was healed from his leprosy {he was no longer a leper}.
Yesu asembolaki loboko, asimbaki ye mpe alobaki: — Nalingi ete ezala bongo, koma peto. Mbala moko, apetolamaki na maba na ye;
4 Then Jesus said to him, “Go and show yourself to a [nearby] priest [so that he can examine you and verify that you no longer have leprosy]. [Then], after he tells [the local people], they will know [that you no longer have leprosy], [and you will be able to associate with them again]. Make sure that [now] you do not report [about my healing you] to anyone [other than the priest]. Then go [to the Temple in Jerusalem and give the priest] the offering that Moses commanded [that people who have been healed from leprosy should offer] as a sacrifice to God.”
mpe Yesu alobaki na ye: — Yoka malamu! Koyebisa likambo oyo na moto te, kasi kende komilakisa epai ya Nganga-Nzambe mpe pesa likabo oyo Moyize akataki lokola mobeko mpo ete ezala litatoli na miso na bango ete obiki.
5 When Jesus went to Capernaum [city], a [Roman] officer who commanded 100 soldiers came to him. He begged Jesus [to help him].
Tango Yesu akotaki na Kapernawumi, mokonzi moko ya basoda ayaki epai na Ye mpe asengaki Ye lisungi.
6 He said [to him], “Sir, my servant is lying [in bed] at home and is paralyzed, and he has severe pain.”
Alobaki: — Nkolo, mosali na ngai alali na ndako, azali kokoka kotambola te mpe azali kobela makasi.
7 Jesus said [to him], “I will go [to your house] and heal him.”
Yesu azongiselaki ye: — Nakoya kobikisa ye.
8 But the officer said [to him], “Lord/Sir, [do not bother to go. I am a non-Jew], so I am not worthy for you, [a Jew], to come into my house [MTY] [and associate with me]. Instead, [just] command [that] my servant [be healed], and he will be healed.
Mokonzi ya basoda alobaki: — Nkolo, nazali ya kokoka te mpo ete okota na ndako na ngai! Loba kaka liloba moko, mpe mosali na ngai akobika na bokono na ye.
9 I [believe this] because, as for me, I am a man under the authority of others, and I also have soldiers under my authority. When I say to one of them ‘Go!’ he goes. When I say to another ‘Come!’ he comes. When I say to my slave, ‘Do this!’ he does it. [And I believe that you speak with a similar kind of authority].”
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 soki nalobi na mosusu: « Yaka! » ayaka; bongo soki nalobi na mowumbu na ngai: « Sala mosala oyo! » asalaka yango.
10 When Jesus heard this, he marveled. He said to the crowd that was walking with him, “Listen to this: I have never before found anyone who has as firm a faith [in me as this non-Jewish man has]. Not even in Israel, [where I would expect people to believe in me], have I found anyone who has the kind of faith in me that he has!
Tango Yesu ayokaki maloba oyo, akamwaki mingi mpe alobaki na bato oyo bazalaki kolanda Ye: — Nazali koloba na bino penza ya solo: natikali nanu komona te kondima ya boye kati na Isalaele!
11 I tell you truly that many [other non-Jewish people] who [will believe in me like this Roman officer] will come from [distant countries, including] those [far] to the east and far to the west [SYN], and they will sit down to eat with [MTY] Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob in heaven, where God rules.
Lisusu, nazali koloba na bino solo ete bato ebele bakowuta na Este mpe na Weste, mpe bakovanda na mesa elongo na Abrayami, Izaki mpe Jakobi kati na Bokonzi ya Likolo.
12 But [the Jews] [IDM] [who should have allowed] God to rule over them will be sent to [hell, where there is] total darkness. And as a result, they will weep [because of their suffering] and will grind their teeth [because they will have severe pain] [MTY].” (questioned)
Kasi bato oyo basengelaki kokitana na bokonzi bakobwakama kati na molili ya libanda epai wapi bakolela mpe bakoswa minu.
13 Then Jesus said to the officer, “Go [home]. What you believed [would happen], [that I would heal your servant from a distance], will happen.” [Then the officer went home and found out that] his servant became well at the exact time [that Jesus told him that he would heal him].
Bongo Yesu alobaki na mokonzi ya basoda: — Zonga na ndako na yo! Tika ete esalemela yo kolanda kondima na yo! Mpe kaka na tango yango, mosali abikaki.
14 When Jesus [and some of his disciples] went to the home of Peter, Jesus saw Peter’s mother-in-law. She was lying on a bed because she had a fever.
Tango Yesu akomaki na ndako ya Petelo, akutaki mama-bokilo ya Petelo alala mpo ete azalaki kobela fievele.
15 He touched her hand, and as a result, [immediately] she no longer had a fever [PRS]. Then she got up and served them [some food].
Yesu asimbaki ye na loboko, mpe fievele esilaki; bongo atelemaki mpe akomaki kobongisela Yesu bilei.
16 That evening [when] ([the Sabbath/the Jewish rest day]) [ended and restrictions about traveling ended], many people who were controlled by demons {whom demons controlled} [and people who were sick] [MTY] [were] brought to Jesus. He caused the demons to leave just by speaking to them, and he healed all the people who were sick.
Tango pokwa ekomaki, bamemelaki Yesu bato ebele oyo bazalaki na se ya bokonzi ya milimo mabe. Kaka na liloba moko, Yesu abenganaki milimo mabe yango; abikisaki mpe babeli nyonso.
17 By doing this he fulfilled the words that had been said by the prophet Isaiah {that the prophet Isaiah had said} [about the Messiah]: “He healed people who had sicknesses and he cured them of their diseases.” [DOU]
Na bongo nde ekokisamaki liloba oyo mosakoli Ezayi alobaki: « Amemaki mokumba ya pasi na biso mpe abikisaki biso na bokono na biso. »
18 Jesus saw the crowd around him, but [he needed to rest]. So he told [his disciples to take him by boat] to the other side [of the lake].
Tango Yesu amonaki ete bato ebele bazingeli Ye, apesaki mitindo epai ya bayekoli na Ye ete bakatisa na ngambo mosusu ya ebale.
19 [As they were walking toward the boat], a man who taught the [Jewish] laws came to him and said, “Teacher, I will go with you wherever you go.”
Molakisi moko ya mibeko apusanaki pene ya Yesu mpe alobaki: — Moteyi, nakolanda Yo na esika nyonso oyo okokende.
20 [In order that the man might know what he could expect if he went with him], Jesus said to him, “Foxes have holes [in the ground in which to live], and birds have nests, but [even though I] am the one who came from heaven, I do not have a home where I can sleep [MTY].”
Kasi Yesu alobaki na ye: — Bambwa ya zamba ezalaka na madusu na yango na se ya mabele mpo na kobombama, mpe bandeke ya likolo ezalaka na bazala na yango; kasi Mwana na Moto azangi esika ya kolala mpo na kopema.
21 Another man who was one of Jesus’ disciples said to him, “Sir/Lord, permit me first to go [home. After] my father [dies I will] bury him, [and then I will come with you].”
Moto mosusu oyo azalaki moko kati na bayekoli ya Yesu alobaki na Ye: — Nkolo, pesa ngai nzela ete nakende nanu kokunda tata na ngai.
22 But Jesus said to him, “Come with me [now]. [God considers that people who do not have eternal life are] dead [MET]. Let those people [do the work of] burying people who die.”
Kasi Yesu alobaki na ye: — Landa Ngai! Tika bakufi bakunda bakufi na bango.
23 Then Jesus got into the boat. The disciples also got [in, and] they [started sailing close to the shoreline around Lake Galilee].
Yesu amataki na bwato, mpe bayekoli na Ye balandaki Ye.
24 Suddenly strong winds blew on the lake, and very high waves were splashing into the boat and filling it. But Jesus was sleeping.
Mbala moko, mopepe moko ya makasi ekomaki kopepa kati na ebale mpe mbonge ekomaki kozipa bwato. Kasi Yesu azalaki kolala pongi.
25 They went and woke him up, and said [to him], “Sir/Lord, rescue [us!] We are about to drown!”
Bayekoli bapusanaki pene na Yesu mpe balamusaki Ye na koganga: — Nkolo, bikisa biso! Tozali kokufa!
26 He said [to them], “(You should not be terrified!/Why are you terrified?) [RHQ] I [am disappointed that in spite of all you have seen me do], (you do not believe very much [that I can rescue you./] you not believe [that I can rescue you]?) [RHQ]” Then he got up and rebuked the wind and told the waves to calm down. And [the wind stopped blowing and the lake] became calm.
Kasi Yesu alobaki na bango: — Bato na kondima moke! Mpo na nini bozali kobanga? Bongo atelemaki, agangelaki mopepe mpe mbonge; bongo kimia monene ezongaki.
27 [As a result], they were amazed, and they said [to one another], “This man is certainly an [extraordinary] person [RHQ]! [All things are under his control!] Even the winds and the waves obey him [PRS]!”
Bato oyo bazalaki wana bakamwaki mpe bakomaki kolobana: « Moto oyo azali penza ndenge nini mpo ete ezala mopepe mpe ebale etosa ye? »
28 When they came to the [east] side [of the lake], they arrived in the region where the Gadarenes [lived]. [Jesus got out of the boat and began walking on the road. Then] two men who were controlled by demons {whom demons controlled} came out of the burial caves [where they were living]. Because they were extremely violent [and attacked people], no one dared to travel on the road [near where they were living].
Tango bakomaki na ngambo mosusu ya ebale, na etuka ya Gadara, bato mibale oyo bazalaki na se ya bokonzi ya milimo mabe babimaki wuta na bakunda mpe bayaki kokutana na Yesu; bazalaki bato na kanza makasi, mpe bato bazalaki kobanga koleka na nzela wana.
29 Suddenly they shouted [to Jesus], “You are the Son of God! [Because] you have nothing in common with us [IDM, RHQ], [leave us alone] Have you come here [RHQ] to torture us before the time [MTY] [God has appointed to punish us]?”
Bakomaki koganga: — Mwana na Nzambe, biso na yo likambo nini? Boni, oyei awa mpo na kotungisa biso liboso ya tango oyo ekatama?
30 There was a large herd of pigs not far away, digging for food with their noses.
Etonga moko monene ya bangulu ezalaki kolia mwa mosika ya esika oyo bazalaki.
31 So the demons begged Jesus, saying, “You are going to cast us out of the men, so send us into the herd of pigs!”
Milimo mabe esengaki na Yesu: — Soki okobengana biso, tinda biso kati na etonga wana ya bangulu.
32 Jesus said [to them], “[If that is what you want], go!” So the demons left [the men] and entered the pigs. Suddenly the whole herd [of pigs] rushed down the steep bank into the lake and drowned.
Yesu alobaki na milimo yango: — Bobima! Milimo mabe ebimaki kati na bato wana mibale mpe ekotaki kati na bangulu. Mbala moko, etonga nyonso ya bangulu ekitaki mbangu wuta na likolo ya ngomba kino na ebale; mpe yango nyonso ezindaki mpe ekufaki kati na mayi.
33 The men who were tending the pigs [became afraid and] ran into the town and reported everything [that had happened], including what had happened to the two men who had been controlled by demons {whom demons had controlled}.
Bakengeli bangulu bakimaki, bakendeki kati na engumba kopesa sango ya makambo nyonso oyo ewutaki kosalema mpe ndenge nini bato oyo bazalaki na se ya bokonzi ya milimo mabe basilaki kokangolama.
34 Then [it seemed as if] all [the people] [HYP] [who lived in] that town [MTY] went to meet Jesus. When they saw him [and the two men who had been controlled by the demons], they begged Jesus to leave their region [because they thought that he would destroy more things than just the pigs] (OR, [because they realized he must be very powerful]).
Bongo bato nyonso ya engumba babimaki mpo na kokutana na Yesu; mpe tango bamonaki Ye, babondelaki Ye ete abima na etuka na bango.
