Luke 11
1 And it came to pass, that as he was praying in a certain place, when he ceased, one of his disciples said to him, Lord, teach us to pray, as John also taught his disciples.
Mokolo moko, Yesu azalaki kosambela na esika songolo. Tango asilisaki kosambela, moko kati na bayekoli na Ye alobaki na Ye: — Nkolo, lakisa biso kosambela ndenge Yoane alakisaki bayekoli na ye.
2 And he said to them, When ye pray, say, Our Father who art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done, as in heaven, so on earth.
Yesu alobaki na bango: — Tango bozali kosambela, boloba: Tata, tika ete Kombo na Yo ebulisama, tika ete Bokonzi na Yo eya!
3 Give us day by day our daily bread.
Pesa biso bilei oyo tosengeli na yango, mokolo na mokolo,
4 And forgive us our sins; for we also forgive every one that is indebted to us. And lead us not into temptation; but deliver us from evil.
limbisa masumu na biso, pamba te biso mpe tolimbisaka moto nyonso oyo asalaka biso mabe; mpe komema biso na komekama te.
5 And he said to them, Which of you shall have a friend, and shall go to him at midnight, and say to him, Friend, lend me three loaves:
Alobaki na bango lisusu: — Soki moko kati na bino azali na molingami, bongo akei epai na ye na midi ya butu mpe alobi: « Molingami, defisa ngai mapa misato;
6 For a friend of mine in his journey is come to me, and I have nothing to set before him?
pamba te moko kati na baninga na ngai azali kosala mobembo mpe akomi epai na ngai, kasi nazangi bilei ya kopesa ye. »
7 And he from within shall answer and say, Trouble me not: the door is now shut, and my children are with me in bed; I cannot rise and give thee.
Soki molingami oyo, wuta kati na ndako na ye, azongisi: « Kotungisa ngai te, nasili kokanga ekuke ya ndako na ngai; ngai mpe bana na ngai tolali, nakoki kolamuka te mpo na kopesa yo mapa. »
8 I say to you, Though he will not rise and give him, because he is his friend, yet because of his importunity he will rise and give him as many as he needeth.
Nazali koloba na bino penza ya solo: ata soki akotelema te mpo na kopesa ye mapa yango, kasi akotelema penza mpo na motungisi na ye mpe akopesa ye nyonso oyo azali na yango na bosenga, pamba te azali moninga na ye.
9 And I say to you, Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and the door shall be opened to you.
Boye, Ngai nazali koloba na bino: Bosenga, mpe bakopesa bino; boluka, mpe bokomona; bobeta ekuke, mpe bakofungolela bino.
10 For every one that asketh, receiveth; and he that seeketh, findeth; and to him that knocketh, the door shall be opened.
Pamba te moto nyonso oyo asengaka azwaka, moto oyo alukaka amonaka; mpe moto oyo abetaka ekuke, bafungolelaka ye yango.
11 If a son shall ask bread of any of you that is a father, will he give him a stone? or if [he shall ask] a fish, will he for a fish give him a serpent?
Nani kati na bino, batata, akopesa na mwana na ye nyoka soki asengi ye mbisi,
12 Or if he shall ask an egg, will he offer him a scorpion?
to akopesa ye koto soki asengi ye liki?
13 If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children: how much more will [your] heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to them that ask him?
Bongo soki bino bato oyo bozali kutu mabe boyebi kopesa na bana na bino biloko ya malamu, ndenge nini Tata oyo azali na Likolo apesa te Molimo Mosantu epai ya bato oyo basengaka Ye!
14 And he was casting out a demon, and it was dumb. And it came to pass when the demon was gone out, the dumb spoke; and the people wondered.
Mokolo moko, Yesu azalaki kobengana molimo mabe oyo ezalaki kopekisa moto koloba. Tango molimo mabe yango ebimaki, moto oyo azalaki koloba te akomaki koloba, mpe ebele ya bato bakamwaki.
15 But some of them said, He casteth out demons through Beelzebub, the chief of the demons.
Kasi bamoko kati na bango balobaki: — Azali kobengana milimo mabe na nguya ya Belizebule, mokonzi ya milimo mabe.
16 And others tempting [him], sought from him a sign from heaven.
Bamosusu, mpo na komeka Yesu, basengaki na Ye elembo moko kowuta na Likolo.
17 But he, knowing their thoughts, said to them, Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation; and a house [divided] against a house falleth.
Lokola Yesu ayebaki makanisi na bango, alobaki na bango: — Bokonzi nyonso oyo ekabwani mpe ekomi komibundisa ekomipanza, mpe ndako oyo ekabwani mpe ekomi komibundisa ekokweya.
18 If Satan also is divided against himself, how shall his kingdom stand? because ye say that I cast out demons through Beelzebub.
Soki Satana akomi komibundisa, bokonzi na ye ekotelema ndenge nini? Nalobi bongo mpo bolobi ete Ngai nazali kobengana milimo mabe na nguya ya Belizebule.
19 And if I by Beelzebub cast out demons, by whom do your sons cast [them] out? therefore shall they be your judges.
Mpe soki Ngai nazali kobengana milimo mabe na nguya ya Belizebule, bayekoli na bino babenganaka yango na nguya ya nani? Mpo na yango, bayekoli na bino bakozala bango moko basambisi na bino.
20 But if I with the finger of God cast out demons, no doubt the kingdom of God is come upon you.
Kasi soki ezali na nguya ya Nzambe nde Ngai nazali kobengana milimo mabe, wana Bokonzi ya Nzambe esili kokoma kino epai na bino.
21 When a strong man armed keepeth his palace, his goods are in peace:
Tango elombe oyo alata bibundeli akengelaka ndako na ye, biloko na ye ebatelamaka malamu;
22 But when a stronger than he shall come upon him, and overcome him, he taketh from him all his armor in which he trusted, and divideth his spoils.
kasi soki moto mosusu oyo aleki ye na makasi ayei kobundisa ye mpe alongi ye, akobotola ye bibundeli oyo azalaki kotiela motema, akokamata biloko na ye nyonso mpe akokaba yango.
23 He that is not with me is against me: and he that gathereth not with me scattereth.
Moto oyo azali elongo na Ngai te azali monguna na Ngai, mpe moto oyo asangisaka te elongo na Ngai apanzaka.
24 When the unclean spirit is gone out of a man, he walketh through dry places, seeking rest: and finding none, he saith, I will return to my house whence I came out.
Soki molimo mabe ebimi kati na moto, ekendaka koyengayenga na bisika ekawuka mpo na koluka esika ya kopema. Kasi soki ezwi esika yango te, emilobelaka: « Eleki malamu mpo na ngai kozonga na ndako oyo natikaki. »
25 And when he cometh, he findeth [it] swept and garnished.
Tango molimo mabe yango ezongaka, ekutaka ndako yango polele, bakombola mpe babongisa malamu.
26 Then he goeth and taketh [to him] seven other spirits more wicked than himself; and they enter in, and dwell there: and the last [state] of that man is worse than the first.
Bongo ekendaka lisusu kozwa milimo mosusu sambo oyo eleki yango na mabe, mpe, elongo na yango, ekotaka mpe evandaka kuna. Boye bomoi ya moto yango ekomaka lisusu mabe, koleka ndenge ezalaki liboso.
27 And it came to pass, as he was speaking these things, a certain woman of the company lifted up her voice, and said to him, Blessed [is] the womb that bore thee, and the paps which nourished thee.
Wana Yesu azalaki koloba makambo oyo, mwasi moko agangaki wuta kati na ebele ya bato: — Esengo na mama oyo abotaki Yo mpe amelisaki Yo mabele!
28 But he said, Yes, rather blessed [are] they that hear the word of God, and keep it.
Yesu azongisaki: — Esengo nde na bato oyo bayokaka Liloba na Nzambe mpe batosaka yango!
29 And when the people were assembled in crowds, he began to say, This is an evil generation: they seek a sign; and there shall no sign be given to it, but the sign of Jonah the prophet.
Lokola bato bazalaki kotonda se kotonda pembeni na Ye, Yesu alobaki: — Bato ya ekeke oyo bazali bato mabe penza! Bazali kosenga elembo! Bakopesamela elembo mosusu te, longola kaka elembo ya Yona;
30 For as Jonah was a sign to the Ninevites, so also shall the Son of man be to this generation.
pamba te, ndenge Yona azalaki elembo mpo na bato ya Ninive, ndenge wana mpe Mwana na Moto akozala elembo mpo na bato ya ekeke oyo.
31 The queen of the south shall rise up in the judgment with the men of this generation, and condemn them: for she came from the utmost parts of the earth, to hear the wisdom of Solomon; and behold, a greater than Solomon [is] here.
Na mokolo ya kosambisama, mwasi mokonzi ya sude akolamuka, elongo na bato ya ekeke oyo, mpe akokatela bango etumbu, pamba te awutaki mosika, na suka ya mokili, mpo na koyoka bwanya ya Salomo; nzokande awa sik’oyo, ezali na Moto oyo aleki Salomo.
32 The men of Nineveh shall rise up in the judgment with this generation, and shall condemn it: for they repented at the preaching of Jonah; and behold, a greater than Jonah [is] here.
Na mokolo ya kosambisama, bato ya Ninive bakotelema, elongo na bato ya ekeke oyo, mpe bakokatela bango etumbu, pamba te babongolaki mitema na bango tango bayokaki mateya ya Yona; nzokande awa sik’oyo, ezali na Moto oyo aleki Yona.
33 No man when he hath lighted a candle, putteth [it] in a secret place, neither under a close vessel, but on a candlestick, that they who come in may see the light.
Moto moko te apelisaka mwinda mpo na kotia yango na esika ya kobombama to na se ya katini. Nzokande, batiaka yango na likolo ya etelemiselo ya minda mpo ete bato oyo bazali kokota na ndako bamona pole.
34 The light of the body is the eye: therefore when thy eye is single, thy whole body also is full of light; but when [thy eye] is evil, thy body also [is] full of darkness.
Miso na yo ezali lokola mwinda ya nzoto na yo. Soki miso na yo ezali malamu, nzoto na yo mobimba mpe ezali kati na pole. Kasi soki ebeli, nzoto na yo mobimba mpe ekoti kati na molili.
35 Take heed therefore, that the light which is in thee be not darkness.
Yango wana, sala keba ete pole oyo ezali kati na yo ekoma molili te.
36 If thy whole body therefore [be] full of light, having no part dark, the whole shall be full of light; as when the bright shining of a candle doth give thee light.
Soki nzoto na yo mobimba ezali kati na pole, mpe eteni ata moko te ezali kati na molili, nzoto na yo mobimba ekotonda na pole lokola tango mwinda engengisaka yo na nzela ya pole na yango.
37 And as he was speaking, a certain Pharisee besought him to dine with him: and he went in, and sat down to eat.
Tango Yesu asilisaki koloba, Mofarizeo moko abengisaki Ye mpo ete akende kolia elongo na ye. Yesu akotaki na ndako na ye mpe avandaki na mesa.
38 And when the Pharisee saw [it], he marveled that he had not first washed before dinner.
Kasi Mofarizeo akamwaki mingi tango amonaki ete Yesu asukoli maboko te liboso ya kolia.
39 And the Lord said to him, Now do ye Pharisees make clean the outside of the cup and the platter; but your inward part is full of ravening and wickedness.
Bongo, Nkolo alobaki na ye: — Bino Bafarizeo, bosukolaka libanda ya bakopo mpe ya basani, kasi botondi na moyibi mpe na mabe.
40 [Ye] fools, did not he that made that which is without, make that which is within also?
Bazoba! Boni, ye oyo asalaki libanda, asalaki mpe kati te?
41 But rather give alms of such things as ye have; and behold, all things are clean to you.
Bobonza nde bomoto na bino ya kati lokola likabo epai ya Nzambe, bongo mobimba na bino ekokoma mbala moko peto.
42 But woe to you, Pharisees! for ye tithe mint, and rue, and all manner of herbs, and pass over judgment and the love of God: these ought ye to have done, and not to leave the others undone.
Mawa na bino, Bafarizeo! Bofutaka eteni ya zomi ya bandembi, ya matungulu mpe ya bandunda ya lolenge nyonso, kasi bomonaka pamba bosembo mpe bolingo ya Nzambe. Nzokande bosengeli nde kotia yango na misala, mpe kozwa na motuya likambo oyo wana ya kofuta eteni ya zomi.
43 Woe to you, Pharisees! for ye love the uppermost seats in the synagogues, and greetings in the markets.
Mawa na bino, Bafarizeo! Bolingaka kovanda na bakiti ya liboso, kati na bandako ya mayangani; mpe bolingaka ete bato bapesa bino mbote ya lokumu, na bisika oyo bato ebele bakutanaka.
44 Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye are as graves which appear not, and the men that walk over [them] are not aware [of them].
Mawa na bino! Bozali lokola bakunda oyo ezanga bilembo, bongo bato batambolaka na likolo na yango na kozanga koyeba!
45 Then answered one of the lawyers, and said to him, Master, thus saying, thou reproachest us also.
Molakisi moko ya mibeko alobaki na Yesu: — Moteyi, tango ozali koloba bongo, ozali kofinga mpe biso!
46 And he said, Woe to you also, [ye] lawyers, for ye load men with burdens grievous to be borne, and ye yourselves touch not the burdens with one of your fingers.
Yesu azongisaki: — Bino mpe balakisi ya Mobeko, mawa na bino! Bomemisaka bato mikumba ya kilo makasi, mpe bino moko boningisaka ata mosapi moko te mpo na kosunga bango.
47 Woe to you! for ye build the sepulchers of the prophets, and your fathers killed them.
Mawa na bino, pamba te botongaka bakunda mpo na basakoli oyo bakoko na bino baboma!
48 Truly ye bear testimony, that ye allow the deeds of your fathers: for they indeed killed them, and ye build their sepulchers.
Boye, wana bosalaka bongo, botatolaka ete bondimi makambo oyo bakoko na bino basala; pamba te bango, baboma basakoli, mpe bino, bozali kotonga bakunda na bango.
49 Therefore also said the wisdom of God, I will send them prophets and apostles, and [some] of them they will slay and persecute:
Yango wana, Nzambe, kati na bwanya na Ye, aloba: « Nakotindela bango basakoli mpe bantoma; bakoboma bamoko, mpe bakonyokola bamosusu. »
50 That the blood of all the prophets, which hath been shed from the foundation of the world, may be required of this generation;
Mpo na yango, makila ya basakoli nyonso, oyo basopa wuta na ebandeli ya mokili, ekotangama na mito ya bato ya ekeke oyo,
51 From the blood of Abel to the blood of Zacharias, who perished between the altar and the temple: verily I say to you, It shall be required of this generation.
kobanda na makila ya Abele kino na makila ya Zakari oyo babomaki kati na etumbelo mpe Esika ya bule. Nazali koloba na bino penza ya solo: mokumba ya mabe wana nyonso ekokweyela bato ya ekeke oyo.
52 Woe to you, lawyers! for ye have taken away the key of knowledge: ye have not entered in yourselves, and them that were entering in ye hindered.
Mawa na bino, balakisi ya Mobeko, pamba te bolongolaki fungola ya boyebi! Bino moko bokotaki te, mpe bopekisaki bato oyo bazalaki na posa ya kokota.
53 And as he said these things to them, the scribes and the Pharisees began to urge [him] vehemently, and to solicit him to speak of many things;
Tango Yesu abimaki na ndako, Bafarizeo mpe balakisi ya Mobeko basilikelaki Ye makasi mpe bakomaki kotungisa Ye na nzela ya mituna ya ndenge na ndenge,
54 Laying wait for him, and seeking to catch something from his mouth, that they might accuse him.
na kotiela Ye mitambo mpo na kozwa, kati na maloba na Ye, likambo ya kofunda Ye.
