Matthew 20
1 “For the Kingdom of Heaven is like a man who was the master of a household, who went out early in the morning to hire labourers for his vineyard.
Pamba te, tala ndenge nini Bokonzi ya Likolo ezali: Bokonzi ya Likolo ezali lokola nkolo elanga ya vino oyo abimaki na tongo makasi mpo na koluka bato oyo bakosala na elanga na ye.
2 When he had agreed with the labourers for a denarius a day, he sent them into his vineyard.
Ayokanaki na bango ete moko na moko akobanda kozwa lifuti ya mbongo moko ya ebende mpo na mokolo mobimba; bongo atindaki bango na elanga na ye ya vino.
3 He went out about the third hour, and saw others standing idle in the marketplace.
Na ngonga ya libwa ya tongo, abimaki lisusu mpe amonaki, na esika oyo bato bakutanaka, bato mosusu oyo bazalaki kosala eloko moko te.
4 He said to them, ‘You also go into the vineyard, and whatever is right I will give you.’ So they went their way.
Alobaki na bango: « Bino mpe bokende kosala na elanga na ngai ya vino. Nakopesa bino lifuti ya sembo, oyo ekoki. »
5 Again he went out about the sixth and the ninth hour, and did likewise.
Boye, bakendeki kuna. Nkolo elanga abimaki lisusu na ngonga ya midi mpe na ngonga ya misato sima na midi; mpe na mbala nyonso mibale, asalaki kaka ndenge moko.
6 About the eleventh hour he went out and found others standing idle. He said to them, ‘Why do you stand here all day idle?’
Abimaki lisusu na ngonga ya mitano ya pokwa mpe amonaki lisusu bato batelemi na esika wana oyo bato bakutanaka. Atunaki bango: « Mpo na nini botelemi kaka boye mokolo mobimba na kosala eloko moko te? »
7 “They said to him, ‘Because no one has hired us.’ “He said to them, ‘You also go into the vineyard, and you will receive whatever is right.’
Bazongisaki: « Soki totelemi boye, ezali mpo ete moto moko te azwi biso na mosala. » Bongo alobaki na bango: « Bino mpe bokende kosala na elanga na ngai ya vino. »
8 “When evening had come, the lord of the vineyard said to his manager, ‘Call the labourers and pay them their wages, beginning from the last to the first.’
Tango pokwa ekokaki, nkolo elanga ya vino alobaki na motambolisi ya misala ya elanga: « Benga basali nyonso mpe futa bango; banda na bato oyo nazwaki sima mpe sukisa na ba-oyo nazwaki liboso. »
9 “When those who were hired at about the eleventh hour came, they each received a denarius.
Bato oyo babandaki mosala na ngonga ya mitano ya pokwa bayaki, mpe moko na moko azwaki lokola lifuti, mbongo moko ya ebende.
10 When the first came, they supposed that they would receive more; and they likewise each received a denarius.
Bongo ekomaki ngonga ya kofuta bato oyo nkolo elanga azwaki liboso na mosala; bakanisaki ete bakozwa mbongo mingi koleka, kasi moko na moko kati na bango azwaki lokola lifuti, mbongo moko kaka ya ebende.
11 When they received it, they murmured against the master of the household,
Tango bazwaki yango, basilikelaki nkolo elanga.
12 saying, ‘These last have spent one hour, and you have made them equal to us who have borne the burden of the day and the scorching heat!’
Balobaki: « Bato oyo ozwaki sima mpe basali kaka ngonga moko, ofuti bango ndenge moko na biso oyo tosali mosala makasi mokolo mobimba mpe na se ya moyi makasi! »
13 “But he answered one of them, ‘Friend, I am doing you no wrong. Didn’t you agree with me for a denarius?
Kasi nkolo elanga azongiselaki moko kati na bango: « Moninga na ngai, nasali yo mabe te! Boni, toyokanaki te ete osala mpo na lifuti ya mbongo moko ya ebende?
14 Take that which is yours, and go your way. It is my desire to give to this last just as much as to you.
Kamata lifuti na yo mpe kende. Ngai moko nde nalingi kopesa na moto oyo abandaki sima, lifuti ya ndenge moko na oyo napesi yo.
15 Isn’t it lawful for me to do what I want to with what I own? Or is your eye evil, because I am good?’
Boni, nazali na ndingisa te ya kosala na mbongo na ngai nyonso oyo nalingi? Osilikeli ngai mpo ete nazali moto malamu? »
16 So the last will be first, and the first last. For many are called, but few are chosen.”
Boye, kati na bato oyo bazali sik’oyo bato ya suka, ebele bakokoma bato ya liboso; mpe kati na ba-oyo bazali sik’oyo bato ya liboso, ebele bakokoma bato ya suka.
17 As Jesus was going up to Jerusalem, he took the twelve disciples aside, and on the way he said to them,
Wana Yesu azalaki kokende na Yelusalemi, abendaki na pembeni bayekoli na Ye zomi na mibale mpe alobaki na bango wana bazali kotambola:
18 “Behold, we are going up to Jerusalem, and the Son of Man will be delivered to the chief priests and scribes, and they will condemn him to death,
« Boyoka! Tozali solo kokende na Yelusalemi; Mwana na Moto akokabama na maboko ya bakonzi ya Banganga-Nzambe mpe ya balakisi ya Mobeko; bakokatela Ye etumbu ya kufa
19 and will hand him over to the Gentiles to mock, to scourge, and to crucify; and the third day he will be raised up.”
mpe bakokaba Ye na maboko ya bapagano mpo ete baseka Ye, babeta Ye fimbu mpe babaka Ye na ekulusu. Mpe na mokolo ya misato, akosekwa. »
20 Then the mother of the sons of Zebedee came to him with her sons, kneeling and asking a certain thing of him.
Bongo mama ya bana mibali ya Zebede ayaki epai ya Yesu, elongo na bana na ye ya mibali, mpe agumbamaki liboso na Ye mpo na kosenga Ye eloko moko.
21 He said to her, “What do you want?” She said to him, “Command that these, my two sons, may sit, one on your right hand and one on your left hand, in your Kingdom.”
Yesu atunaki ye: — Olingi nini? Azongisaki: — Laka ngai ete bana na ngai mibale oyo ya mibali bakovanda kati na Bokonzi na Yo: moko na ngambo ya loboko na Yo ya mobali, mpe mosusu, na ngambo ya loboko na Yo ya mwasi.
22 But Jesus answered, “You don’t know what you are asking. Are you able to drink the cup that I am about to drink, and be baptised with the baptism that I am baptised with?” They said to him, “We are able.”
Yesu azongiselaki bango: — Bozali kososola te makambo oyo bozali kosenga! Boni, bokoki komela kopo oyo Ngai nakomela? Bazongisaki: — Iyo, tokoki.
23 He said to them, “You will indeed drink my cup, and be baptised with the baptism that I am baptised with; but to sit on my right hand and on my left hand is not mine to give, but it is for whom it has been prepared by my Father.”
Yesu alobaki na bango: — Solo, bokomela na bino kopo oyo Ngai nakomela; kasi likambo ya kovanda na ngambo ya loboko na Ngai ya mobali to na ngambo ya loboko na Ngai ya mwasi, Ngai nakoki te kopesela yango ndingisa; bisika wana ezali ya bato oyo Tata na Ngai abongisela bango yango.
24 When the ten heard it, they were indignant with the two brothers.
Tango bayekoli mosusu zomi bayokaki makambo wana, basilikelaki bandeko mibale wana.
25 But Jesus summoned them, and said, “You know that the rulers of the nations lord it over them, and their great ones exercise authority over them.
Kasi Yesu abengaki bango nyonso mpe alobaki na bango: — Boyebi malamu ete bakonzi ya bikolo bakonzaka bato ya bikolo oyo ezali na se ya bokonzi na bango, mpe bakalaka ya lokumu bakonzaka bato oyo bazali na se ya bokonzi na bango.
26 It shall not be so amongst you; but whoever desires to become great amongst you shall be your servant.
Esengeli te kozala bongo kati na bino. Nzokande, tika ete moto nyonso oyo alingi kozala moto monene kati na bino azala mosali na bino;
27 Whoever desires to be first amongst you shall be your bondservant,
mpe tika ete moto nyonso oyo alingi kozala moto ya liboso kati na bino azala mowumbu na bino!
28 even as the Son of Man came not to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many.”
Pamba te Mwana na Moto ayaki te mpo ete basalela Ye; kasi ayaki nde kosala mpo na bato, mpe kopesa bomoi na Ye lokola motuya ya kofuta mpo na kosikola bato ebele.
29 As they went out from Jericho, a great multitude followed him.
Tango Yesu elongo na bayekoli na Ye balongwaki na Jeriko, bato ebele balandaki Yesu.
30 Behold, two blind men sitting by the road, when they heard that Jesus was passing by, cried out, “Lord, have mercy on us, you son of David!”
Bakufi miso mibale bazalaki ya kovanda pembeni ya nzela; tango bayokaki ete Yesu azali koleka, bagangaki: — Nkolo, Mwana ya Davidi, yokela biso mawa!
31 The multitude rebuked them, telling them that they should be quiet, but they cried out even more, “Lord, have mercy on us, you son of David!”
Bato bazalaki kopamela bango mpo ete bakanga minoko na bango, kasi bango bagangaki lisusu makasi: — Nkolo, mwana ya Davidi, yokela biso mawa!
32 Jesus stood still and called them, and asked, “What do you want me to do for you?”
Yesu atelemaki, abengaki bango mpe atunaki bango: — Bolingi nasala nini mpo na bino?
33 They told him, “Lord, that our eyes may be opened.”
Bazongiselaki Ye: — Nkolo, sala ete tomona.
34 Jesus, being moved with compassion, touched their eyes; and immediately their eyes received their sight, and they followed him.
Yesu ayokelaki bango mawa mpe asimbaki miso na bango; mpe, mbala moko, bakomaki komona mpe balandaki Ye.
