Luka 11
1 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.
One day Jesus was praying in a certain place, and when he finished, one of his disciples said to him, “Lord, teach us to pray, just as John taught his disciples.”
2 Yesu alobaki na bango: — Tango bozali kosambela, boloba: Tata, tika ete Kombo na Yo ebulisama, tika ete Bokonzi na Yo eya!
So he said to them, “When you pray, say, ‘Our Father in heaven, hallowed be yoʋr name. Yoʋr kingdom come. Yoʋr will be done, on earth as it is in heaven.
3 Pesa biso bilei oyo tosengeli na yango, mokolo na mokolo,
Give us each day our daily bread.
4 limbisa masumu na biso, pamba te biso mpe tolimbisaka moto nyonso oyo asalaka biso mabe; mpe komema biso na komekama te.
And forgive us our sins, for we also forgive everyone who is indebted to us. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil.’”
5 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;
Then he said to them, “Suppose one of you has a friend, and yoʋ go to him at midnight and say to him, ‘Friend, lend me three loaves,
6 pamba te moko kati na baninga na ngai azali kosala mobembo mpe akomi epai na ngai, kasi nazangi bilei ya kopesa ye. »
for a friend on a journey has come to me, and I have nothing to set before him,’
7 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. »
and he answers from inside and says, ‘Do not bother me! The door is already shut, and my children are with me in bed. I cannot get up to give yoʋ anything.’
8 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.
I tell you, even if he will not get up and give yoʋ anything because yoʋ are his friend, yet because of yoʋr shameless persistence, he will get up and give yoʋ as much as yoʋ need.
9 Boye, Ngai nazali koloba na bino: Bosenga, mpe bakopesa bino; boluka, mpe bokomona; bobeta ekuke, mpe bakofungolela bino.
So I tell you: Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and the door will be opened for you.
10 Pamba te moto nyonso oyo asengaka azwaka, moto oyo alukaka amonaka; mpe moto oyo abetaka ekuke, bafungolelaka ye yango.
For everyone who asks receives; and he who seeks finds; and for him who knocks, the door will be opened.
11 Nani kati na bino, batata, akopesa na mwana na ye nyoka soki asengi ye mbisi,
Now what father among you, when his son asks for bread, will give him a stone; or again, when he asks for a fish, will give him a serpent instead of a fish;
12 to akopesa ye koto soki asengi ye liki?
or again, if he asks for an egg, will give him a scorpion?
13 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!
If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to those who ask him!”
14 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.
Now Jesus was casting out a demon that made a certain man mute. When the demon came out, the mute man began to speak, and the crowds were amazed.
15 Kasi bamoko kati na bango balobaki: — Azali kobengana milimo mabe na nguya ya Belizebule, mokonzi ya milimo mabe.
But some of them said, “By Beelzebul, the ruler of demons, he casts out demons.”
16 Bamosusu, mpo na komeka Yesu, basengaki na Ye elembo moko kowuta na Likolo.
Others were asking him for a sign from heaven, to test him.
17 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.
Knowing their thoughts, Jesus said to them, “Every kingdom divided against itself is laid waste, and a house divided against itself falls.
18 Soki Satana akomi komibundisa, bokonzi na ye ekotelema ndenge nini? Nalobi bongo mpo bolobi ete Ngai nazali kobengana milimo mabe na nguya ya Belizebule.
So if Satan is also divided against himself, how will his kingdom stand? For you say that I cast out demons by Beelzebul.
19 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.
Now if I cast out demons by Beelzebul, by whom do your followers cast them out? Therefore they will be your judges.
20 Kasi soki ezali na nguya ya Nzambe nde Ngai nazali kobengana milimo mabe, wana Bokonzi ya Nzambe esili kokoma kino epai na bino.
But if I cast out demons by the finger of God, then the kingdom of God has come upon you.
21 Tango elombe oyo alata bibundeli akengelaka ndako na ye, biloko na ye ebatelamaka malamu;
When a strong man, fully armed, guards his own palace, his possessions are secure.
22 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.
But when a stronger man attacks and overpowers him, he takes away all the armor in which the man trusted and then distributes the plunder.
23 Moto oyo azali elongo na Ngai te azali monguna na Ngai, mpe moto oyo asangisaka te elongo na Ngai apanzaka.
Whoever is not with me is against me, and whoever does not gather with me scatters.
24 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. »
“When an unclean spirit has gone out of a person, it goes through waterless places seeking rest. But when it does not find any, it says, ‘I will return to the house I left.’
25 Tango molimo mabe yango ezongaka, ekutaka ndako yango polele, bakombola mpe babongisa malamu.
When it arrives, it finds the house swept and put in order.
26 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.
Then it goes and takes along seven other spirits more evil than itself, and they go and dwell there, and the last state of that person becomes worse than the first.”
27 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!
As Jesus was saying these things, a woman from among the crowd lifted up her voice and said to him, “Blessed is the womb that bore yoʋ, and the breasts at which yoʋ nursed.”
28 Yesu azongisaki: — Esengo nde na bato oyo bayokaka Liloba na Nzambe mpe batosaka yango!
But he said, “Blessed rather are those who hear the word of God and obey it.”
29 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;
Now as the crowds were increasing, Jesus began to say, “This generation is evil. It asks for a sign, but no sign will be given to it except the sign of the prophet Jonah.
30 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.
For just as Jonah became a sign to the people of Nineveh, so also will the Son of Man be to this generation.
31 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.
The queen of the South will rise up at the judgment with the men of this generation and condemn them, for she came from the ends of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon, and behold, something greater than Solomon is here.
32 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.
The men of Nineveh will rise up at the judgment with this generation and condemn it, for they repented at the preaching of Jonah, and behold, something greater than Jonah is here.
33 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.
“No one lights a lamp and puts it in a hidden place or under a basket. Instead, it is put on a lampstand, so that those who come in can see its light.
34 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.
The lamp of the body is the eye. So when yoʋr eye is clear, yoʋr whole body is full of light. But when yoʋr eye is bad, yoʋr body is full of darkness.
35 Yango wana, sala keba ete pole oyo ezali kati na yo ekoma molili te.
Therefore make sure that the light within yoʋ is not darkness.
36 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.
If then yoʋr whole body is full of light, having no part dark, it will be entirely light, like when a lamp gives yoʋ light with its rays.”
37 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.
As Jesus was speaking, a Pharisee invited him to have a meal with him, so Jesus went in and reclined at the table.
38 Kasi Mofarizeo akamwaki mingi tango amonaki ete Yesu asukoli maboko te liboso ya kolia.
The Pharisee was amazed when he saw that Jesus did not first perform the ritual washing before the meal.
39 Bongo, Nkolo alobaki na ye: — Bino Bafarizeo, bosukolaka libanda ya bakopo mpe ya basani, kasi botondi na moyibi mpe na mabe.
So the Lord said to him, “You Pharisees clean the outside of the cup and the platter, but inside you are filled with thoughts of robbery and wickedness.
40 Bazoba! Boni, ye oyo asalaki libanda, asalaki mpe kati te?
You fools! Did not he who made the outside also make the inside?
41 Bobonza nde bomoto na bino ya kati lokola likabo epai ya Nzambe, bongo mobimba na bino ekokoma mbala moko peto.
But give as alms the things that are on the inside, and behold, everything will be clean for you.
42 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.
“But woe to you, Pharisees! For you tithe mint, rue, and every herb, yet you ignore justice and the love of God. These you ought to have practiced without neglecting the other things.
43 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.
Woe to you, Pharisees! For you love the best seats in the synagogues and greetings in the marketplaces.
44 Mawa na bino! Bozali lokola bakunda oyo ezanga bilembo, bongo bato batambolaka na likolo na yango na kozanga koyeba!
Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you are like unmarked graves, which people walk over without realizing it.”
45 Molakisi moko ya mibeko alobaki na Yesu: — Moteyi, tango ozali koloba bongo, ozali kofinga mpe biso!
In response one of the lawyers said to him, “Teacher, by saying these things, yoʋ insult us as well.”
46 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.
But Jesus said, “Woe also to you lawyers! For you burden people with burdens that are hard to bear, but you yourselves do not touch the burdens with even one of your fingers.
47 Mawa na bino, pamba te botongaka bakunda mpo na basakoli oyo bakoko na bino baboma!
Woe to you! For you build the tombs of the prophets, but it was your fathers who killed them.
48 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.
So you bear witness to and approve of the works of your fathers; for they killed the prophets, and you build their tombs.
49 Yango wana, Nzambe, kati na bwanya na Ye, aloba: « Nakotindela bango basakoli mpe bantoma; bakoboma bamoko, mpe bakonyokola bamosusu. »
That is why the wisdom of God said, ‘I will send them prophets and apostles, some of whom they will kill and some of whom they will persecute.’
50 Mpo na yango, makila ya basakoli nyonso, oyo basopa wuta na ebandeli ya mokili, ekotangama na mito ya bato ya ekeke oyo,
As a result, this generation will be held accountable for the blood of all the prophets that has been shed from the foundation of the world,
51 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.
from the blood of Abel to the blood of Zechariah, who perished between the altar and the house of God. Yes, I tell you, this generation will be held accountable.
52 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.
Woe to you lawyers! For you have taken away the key of knowledge. You yourselves have not entered, and you have hindered those who were trying to enter.”
53 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,
As he was saying these things to them, the scribes and the Pharisees began to oppose him fiercely and to question him closely about many things,
54 na kotiela Ye mitambo mpo na kozwa, kati na maloba na Ye, likambo ya kofunda Ye.
lying in wait for him and seeking to catch him in some word coming out of his mouth, so that they might accuse him.
