Yoane 12
1 Wana etikalaki mikolo motoba mpo ete Pasika ebanda, Yesu akendeki na Betani epai wapi Lazare, oyo asekwisaki kati na bakufi, azalaki kovanda.
Then Jesus six days before the passover came to Bethany, where Lazarus was which had been dead, whom he raised from the dead.
2 Kuna, balambaki bilei mpo na Yesu; mpe wana Marte azalaki kobongisa mesa, Lazare azalaki moko kati na bato oyo bavandaki na mesa elongo na Yesu.
There they made him a supper; and Martha served: but Lazarus was one of them that sat at the table with him.
3 Mari akamataki ndambo ya litele ya malasi ya nar, oyo basangisa na eloko mosusu te mpe ya motuya makasi, asopaki yango na makolo ya Yesu mpe asalelaki suki na ye mpo na kopangusa makolo yango. Ndako mobimba etondaki na solo ya malasi yango.
Then took Mary a pound of ointment of spikenard, very costly, and anointed the feet of Jesus, and wiped his feet with her hair: and the house was filled with the odour of the ointment.
4 Bongo moko kati na bayekoli ya Yesu, Yuda Isikarioti, ye oyo akoteka Ye, alobaki:
Then saith one of his disciples, Judas Iscariot, Simon’s son, which should betray him,
5 — Mpo na nini bateki te malasi oyo na motuya ya mbongo ya bibende nkama misato mpo na kopesa yango epai ya babola?
Why was not this ointment sold for three hundred pence, and given to the poor?
6 Yuda Isikarioti alobaki bongo mpo ete azalaki moyibi; ezalaki te mpo ete azalaki na makanisi ya kosunga babola. Bongo lokola azalaki mpe kobatela libenga ya mbongo ya lisanga, azalaki tango nyonso koyiba mbongo.
This he said, not that he cared for the poor; but because he was a thief, and had the bag, and bare what was put therein.
7 Kasi Yesu alobaki: — Tika ye kimia! Abombi malasi yango mpo na mokolo oyo bakokunda Ngai.
Then said Jesus, Let her alone: against the day of my burying hath she kept this.
8 Bokozalaka na babola tango nyonso; kasi Ngai, bokozalaka na Ngai tango nyonso te.
For the poor always ye have with you; but me ye have not always.
9 Lokola Bayuda mingi bayokaki ete Yesu azali na Betani, bakendeki kuna; bakendeki kaka te mpo na Yesu, kasi mpe mpo na kotala Lazare oyo Yesu asekwisaki kati na bakufi.
Much people of the Jews therefore knew that he was there: and they came not for Jesus’ sake only, but that they might see Lazarus also, whom he had raised from the dead.
10 Bongo bakonzi ya Banganga-Nzambe basalaki mabongisi mpo na koboma mpe Lazare;
But the chief priests consulted that they might put Lazarus also to death;
11 pamba te likolo na ye, Bayuda ebele bazalaki kokabwana na Banganga-Nzambe mpo na kondima Yesu.
Because that by reason of him many of the Jews went away, and believed on Jesus.
12 Mokolo oyo elandaki, ebele ya bato oyo bayaki na Yelusalemi mpo na feti ya Pasika bayokaki sango ete Yesu mpe azali kokende kuna na Yelusalemi.
On the next day much people that were come to the feast, when they heard that Jesus was coming to Jerusalem,
13 Bakataki mandalala mpe babimaki mpo na kokende koyamba Yesu; bazalaki koganga: « Ozana! Tika ete apambolama, Ye oyo ayei na Kombo ya Nkolo, Mokonzi ya Isalaele! »
Took branches of palm trees, and went forth to meet him, and cried, Hosanna: Blessed is the King of Israel that cometh in the name of the Lord.
14 Yesu amonaki mwana moko ya ane mpe avandaki na likolo na yango kolanda ndenge ekomama:
And Jesus, when he had found a young donkey, sat thereon; as it is written,
15 « Siona, engumba kitoko, kobanga te! Tala, mokonzi na yo azali koya, avandi na likolo ya mwana ya ane! »
Fear not, daughter of Zion: behold, thy King cometh, sitting on a donkey’s colt.
16 Bayekoli ya Yesu bayebaki nanu te tina ya makambo oyo ezalaki kosalema. Kaka tango Yesu akotaki kati na nkembo nde basosolaki ete makambo yango ekomamaki na tina na Ye, mpe ete bakokisaki kaka makambo oyo Makomi eloba.
These things understood not his disciples at the first: but when Jesus was glorified, then remembered they that these things were written of him, and that they had done these things unto him.
17 Bato nyonso oyo bazalaki elongo na Yesu tango abengaki Lazare ete abima na kunda mpe asekwisaki ye kati na bakufi, bazalaki kotatola makambo oyo bamonaki.
The people therefore that was with him when he called Lazarus out of his grave, and raised him from the dead, bare record.
18 Yango wana ebele ya bato bakendeki koyamba Yesu mpo ete bayokaki ete Ye nde asalaki likamwisi yango.
For this cause the people also met him, for that they heard that he had done this miracle.
19 Bongo Bafarizeo balobanaki bango na bango: — Bomoni, bokokoka lisusu eloko moko te; bato nyonso bakomi na bango kolanda ye!
The Pharisees therefore said among themselves, Perceive ye how ye prevail nothing? behold, the world is gone after him.
20 Kati na bato oyo bayaki na feti, na Yelusalemi, mpo na kogumbamela Nzambe, ezalaki na ndambo ya Bagreki.
And there were certain Greeks among them that came up to worship at the feast:
21 Bakendeki epai ya Filipo, moto ya mboka Betisaida ya Galile, mpe batalisaki ye bosenga oyo: — Tata, tolingi komona Yesu.
The same came therefore to Philip, which was of Bethsaida of Galilee, and desired him, saying, Sir, we would see Jesus.
22 Filipo akendeki koyebisa Andre; bongo bango mibale, Andre mpe Filipo, bakendeki koyebisa Yesu.
Philip cometh and telleth Andrew: and again Andrew and Philip tell Jesus.
23 Yesu azongiselaki bango: — Sik’oyo, ngonga ekoki, ngonga oyo Mwana na Moto asengeli kokota kati na nkembo na Ye.
And Jesus answered them, saying, The hour is come, that the Son of man should be glorified.
24 Nazali koloba na bino penza ya solo: soki mbuma ya ble oyo ekweyi na mabele ekufi te, mbuma yango ekotikala kaka yango moko. Kasi soki ekufi, ekobota solo bambuma ebele.
Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except a grain of wheat fall into the ground and die, it abideth alone: but if it die, it bringeth forth much fruit.
25 Moto nyonso oyo akangami na bomoi na ye akobungisa yango; kasi moto oyo aboyi kokangama na bomoi na ye, kati na mokili oyo, akobatela yango mpo na bomoi ya seko. (aiōnios g166)
He that loveth his life shall lose it; and he that hateth his life in this world shall keep it unto life eternal. (aiōnios g166)
26 Tika ete moto oyo alingi kosalela Ngai alanda Ngai! Epai Ngai nakozala, mosali na Ngai mpe akozala wana. Tata na Ngai akokumisa moto oyo asalelaka Ngai.
If any man serve me, let him follow me; and where I am, there shall also my servant be: if any man serve me, him will my Father honour.
27 Sik’oyo, molimo na Ngai etungisami! Naloba nini? Tata, kangola Ngai na tango oyo ya pasi? Nzokande, ezali penza mpo na tango yango ya pasi nde nakomi kino na ngonga oyo!
Now is my soul troubled; and what shall I say? Father, save me from this hour: but for this cause came I unto this hour.
28 Tata, pesa Kombo na Yo nkembo! Bongo mongongo moko eyokanaki wuta na Likolo: — Nasili kopesa yango nkembo mpe nakopesa yango lisusu nkembo!
Father, glorify thy name. Then came there a voice from heaven, saying, I have both glorified it, and will glorify it again.
29 Bato oyo bazalaki wana mpe bayokaki mongongo yango balobaki: — Ezali kake! Bato mosusu balobaki: — Anjelu moko asololi na ye!
The people therefore, that stood by, and heard it, said that it thundered: others said, An angel spake to him.
30 Kasi Yesu alobaki na bango: — Mongongo wana eyokani te mpo na Ngai, kasi mpo na bino.
Jesus answered and said, This voice came not because of me, but for your sakes.
31 Kosambisama ya mokili elingi kosalema nde sik’oyo; mokonzi ya mokili oyo akobwakama sik’oyo na libanda.
Now is the judgment of this world: now shall the prince of this world be cast out.
32 Mpe tango bakotombola Ngai longwa na mabele, nakobenda bato nyonso epai na Ngai.
And I, if I be lifted up from the earth, will draw all men unto me.
33 Yesu alobaki bongo mpo na kolakisa lolenge ya kufa oyo asengeli kokufa.
This he said, signifying what death he should die.
34 Bato bazongiselaki Ye: — Mibeko ezali kolakisa biso ete Klisto asengeli kozala na bomoi seko na seko. Bongo ndenge nini yo olobi na biso: « Mwana na Moto asengeli kotombolama? » Nani nde Mwana na Moto? (aiōn g165)
The people answered him, We have heard out of the law that Christ abideth for ever: and how sayest thou, The Son of man must be lifted up? who is this Son of man? (aiōn g165)
35 Yesu alobaki na bango: — Pole ezali nanu kati na bino mpo na mwa tango moke. Botambola, wana bozali na pole, mpo ete molili ekanga bino te na mbalakata; pamba te moto oyo atambolaka kati na molili ayebaka te esika nini azali kotia lokolo.
Then Jesus said unto them, Yet a little while is the light with you. Walk while ye have the light, lest darkness come upon you: for he that walketh in darkness knoweth not whither he goeth.
36 Boye wana bozali nanu na pole, bondima pole mpo ete bokoma bana ya pole. Tango Yesu asilisaki koloba bongo, akendeki mpe amibombaki mosika na bango.
While ye have light, believe in the light, that ye may be the children of light. These things spake Jesus, and departed, and did hide himself from them.
37 Atako Yesu asalaki bikamwa ebele na miso na bango, kasi bandimaki Ye kaka te
But though he had done so many miracles before them, yet they believed not on him:
38 mpo ete maloba ya mosakoli Ezayi ekokisama: « Nkolo, nani andimaki mateya na biso? Mpe nguya na Yo emonisamaki epai ya nani? »
That the saying of Isaiah the prophet might be fulfilled, which he spake, Lord, who hath believed our report? and to whom hath the arm of the Lord been revealed?
39 Ezali lisusu Ezayi nde alobaki tina oyo bakokaki kondima te:
Therefore they could not believe, because that Isaiah said again,
40 « Azipaki miso na bango mpe akomisaki bango mitema makasi, mpo ete bamona te na miso na bango, basosola te na mitema na bango, babongola mitema te, mpe ngai nabikisa bango te. »
He hath blinded their eyes, and hardened their heart; that they should not see with their eyes, nor understand with their heart, and be converted, and I should heal them.
41 Ezayi alobaki bongo mpo ete amonaki Nkembo ya Yesu mpe azalaki koloba na tina na Ye.
These things said Isaiah, when he saw his glory, and spake of him.
42 Nzokande, kati na bakonzi ya Bayuda, mingi bandimaki Ye; kasi balakisaki te kondima na bango na polele, pamba te bazalaki kobanga ete Bafarizeo babengana bango na ndako ya mayangani,
Nevertheless among the chief rulers also many believed on him; but because of the Pharisees they did not confess him, lest they should be put out of the synagogue:
43 pamba te bazalaki kolinga mingi kozwa lokumu kowuta na bato, kasi lokumu kowuta na Nzambe te.
For they loved the praise of men more than the praise of God.
44 Bongo Yesu alobaki na mongongo ya makasi: — Moto oyo andimi Ngai, andimi kaka Ngai te, kasi andimi mpe Ye oyo atindaki Ngai;
Jesus cried and said, He that believeth on me, believeth not on me, but on him that sent me.
45 mpe moto oyo amoni Ngai, amoni mpe Ye oyo atindaki Ngai.
And he that seeth me seeth him that sent me.
46 Ngai, pole, nayaki kati na mokili mpo ete moto nyonso oyo akondima Ngai azala lisusu te kati na molili.
I am come a light into the world, that whosoever believeth on me should not abide in darkness.
47 Soki moto ayoki maloba na Ngai, kasi aboyi kotia yango na misala, Ngai, nakosambisa ye te; pamba te nayaki te mpo na kosambisa mokili, kasi mpo na kobikisa yango.
And if any man hear my words, and believe not, I judge him not: for I came not to judge the world, but to save the world.
48 Moto oyo aboyi Ngai mpe ayambi te maloba na Ngai azali na mosambisi na ye: ezali liloba oyo nateyi nde ekosambisa ye, na mokolo ya suka.
He that rejecteth me, and receiveth not my words, hath one that judgeth him: the word that I have spoken, the same shall judge him in the last day.
49 Pamba te nalobaki na Kombo na Ngai moko te; kasi Ye moko Tata oyo atindaki Ngai apesaki Ngai, lokola mitindo, makambo oyo nasengeli koloba mpe koteya.
For I have not spoken of myself; but the Father which sent me, he gave me a commandment, what I should say, and what I should speak.
50 Nzokande, nayebi malamu ete mitindo na Ye epesaka bomoi ya seko; yango wana nazali koloba makambo oyo, ndenge kaka Tata ayebisaki Ngai yango. (aiōnios g166)
And I know that his commandment is life everlasting: whatsoever I speak therefore, even as the Father said unto me, so I speak. (aiōnios g166)
