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.
And it came to pass, in his being in a certain place praying, as he ceased, a certain one of his disciples said unto him, 'Sir, teach us to pray, as also 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!
And he said to them, 'When ye may pray, say ye: Our Father who art in the heavens; hallowed be Thy name: Thy reign come; Thy will come to pass, as in heaven also on earth;
3 Pesa biso bilei oyo tosengeli na yango, mokolo na mokolo,
our appointed bread be giving us daily;
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 also we ourselves forgive every one indebted to us; and mayest Thou not bring us into temptation; but do Thou deliver us from the 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;
And he said unto them, 'Who of you shall have a friend, and shall go on unto him at midnight, and may 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. »
seeing a friend of mine came out of the way unto me, and I have not what I shall 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 from within answering may say, Do not give me trouble, already the door hath been shut, and my children with me are in the bed, I am not able, having risen, to give to thee.
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 say to you, even if he will not give to him, having risen, because of his being his friend, yet because of his importunity, having risen, he will give him as many as he doth need;
9 Boye, Ngai nazali koloba na bino: Bosenga, mpe bakopesa bino; boluka, mpe bokomona; bobeta ekuke, mpe bakofungolela bino.
and I say to you, Ask, and it shall be given to you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened to you;
10 Pamba te moto nyonso oyo asengaka azwaka, moto oyo alukaka amonaka; mpe moto oyo abetaka ekuke, bafungolelaka ye yango.
for every one who is asking doth receive; and he who is seeking doth find; and to him who is knocking it shall be opened.
11 Nani kati na bino, batata, akopesa na mwana na ye nyoka soki asengi ye mbisi,
'And of which of you — the father — if the son shall ask a loaf, a stone will he present to him? and if a fish, will he instead of a fish, a serpent present to him?
12 to akopesa ye koto soki asengi ye liki?
and if he may ask an egg, will he present to 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, then, ye, being evil, have known good gifts to be giving to your children, how much more shall the Father who is from heaven give the Holy Spirit to those asking 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.
And he was casting forth a demon, and it was dumb, and it came to pass, the demon having gone forth, the dumb man spake, and the multitudes wondered,
15 Kasi bamoko kati na bango balobaki: — Azali kobengana milimo mabe na nguya ya Belizebule, mokonzi ya milimo mabe.
and certain of them said, 'By Beelzeboul, ruler of the demons, he doth cast forth the demons;'
16 Bamosusu, mpo na komeka Yesu, basengaki na Ye elembo moko kowuta na Likolo.
and others, tempting, a sign out of heaven from him were asking.
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.
And he, knowing their thoughts, said to them, 'Every kingdom having been divided against itself is desolated; and house against house doth fall;
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.
and if also the Adversary against himself was divided, how shall his kingdom be made to stand? for ye say, by Beelzeboul is my casting forth the demons.
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.
'But if I by Beelzeboul cast forth the demons — your sons, by whom do they cast forth? because of this your judges they shall be;
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 by the finger of God I cast forth the demons, then come unawares upon you did the reign of God.
21 Tango elombe oyo alata bibundeli akengelaka ndako na ye, biloko na ye ebatelamaka malamu;
'When the strong man armed may keep his hall, in peace are his goods;
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 the stronger than he, having come upon [him], may overcome him, his whole-armour he doth take away in which he had trusted, and his spoils he distributeth;
23 Moto oyo azali elongo na Ngai te azali monguna na Ngai, mpe moto oyo asangisaka te elongo na Ngai apanzaka.
he who is not with me is against me, and he who is not gathering with me doth scatter.
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 the unclean spirit may go forth from the man it walketh through waterless places seeking rest, and not finding, it saith, I will turn back to my house whence I came forth;
25 Tango molimo mabe yango ezongaka, ekutaka ndako yango polele, bakombola mpe babongisa malamu.
and having come, it findeth [it] swept and adorned;
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 doth it go, and take to it seven other spirits more evil than itself, and having entered, they dwell there, and the last of that man becometh worst 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!
And it came to pass, in his saying these things, a certain woman having lifted up the voice out of the multitude, said to him, 'Happy the womb that carried thee, and the paps that thou didst suck!'
28 Yesu azongisaki: — Esengo nde na bato oyo bayokaka Liloba na Nzambe mpe batosaka yango!
And he said, 'Yea, rather, happy those hearing the word of God, and keeping [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;
And the multitudes crowding together upon him, he began to say, 'This generation is evil, a sign it doth seek after, and a sign shall not be given to it, except the sign of Jonah the prophet,
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 as Jonah became a sign to the Ninevites, so also shall 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.
'A queen of the south shall rise up in the judgment with the men of this generation, and shall condemn them, because she came from the ends of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon; and lo, greater than Solomon 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.
'Men of Nineveh shall stand up in the judgment with this generation, and shall condemn it, because they reformed at the proclamation of Jonah; and lo, greater than Jonah 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.
'And no one having lighted a lamp, doth put [it] in a secret place, nor under the measure, but on the lamp-stand, that those coming in may behold the 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, when then thine eye may be simple, thy whole body also is lightened; and when it may be evil, thy body also is darkened;
35 Yango wana, sala keba ete pole oyo ezali kati na yo ekoma molili te.
take heed, then, lest the light that [is] in thee be 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 thy whole body is lightened, not having any part darkened, the whole shall be lightened, as when the lamp by the brightness may give thee light.'
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.
And in [his] speaking, a certain Pharisee was asking him that he might dine with him, and having gone in, he reclined (at meat),
38 Kasi Mofarizeo akamwaki mingi tango amonaki ete Yesu asukoli maboko te liboso ya kolia.
and the Pharisee having seen, did wonder that he did not first baptize himself before the dinner.
39 Bongo, Nkolo alobaki na ye: — Bino Bafarizeo, bosukolaka libanda ya bakopo mpe ya basani, kasi botondi na moyibi mpe na mabe.
And the Lord said unto him, 'Now do ye, the Pharisees, the outside of the cup and of the plate make clean, but your inward part is full of rapine and wickedness;
40 Bazoba! Boni, ye oyo asalaki libanda, asalaki mpe kati te?
unthinking! did not He who made the outside also the inside make?
41 Bobonza nde bomoto na bino ya kati lokola likabo epai ya Nzambe, bongo mobimba na bino ekokoma mbala moko peto.
But what ye have give ye [as] alms, and, lo, all things are clean to 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, the Pharisees, because ye tithe the mint, and the rue, and every herb, and ye pass by the judgment, and the love of God; these things it behoveth to do, and those not to be neglecting.
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, the Pharisees, because ye love the first seats in the synagogues, and the salutations in the market-places.
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, because ye are as the unseen tombs, and the men walking above have not known.'
45 Molakisi moko ya mibeko alobaki na Yesu: — Moteyi, tango ozali koloba bongo, ozali kofinga mpe biso!
And one of the lawyers answering, saith to him, 'Teacher, these things saying, us also thou dost insult;'
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.
and he said, 'And to you, the lawyers, woe! because ye burden men with burdens grievous to be borne, and ye yourselves with one of your fingers do not touch the burdens.
47 Mawa na bino, pamba te botongaka bakunda mpo na basakoli oyo bakoko na bino baboma!
'Woe to you, because ye build the tombs of the prophets, and your fathers 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.
Then do ye testify, and are well pleased with the works of your fathers, because they indeed killed them, and ye do build their tombs;
49 Yango wana, Nzambe, kati na bwanya na Ye, aloba: « Nakotindela bango basakoli mpe bantoma; bakoboma bamoko, mpe bakonyokola bamosusu. »
because of this also the wisdom of God said: I will send to them prophets, and apostles, and some of them they shall kill and persecute,
50 Mpo na yango, makila ya basakoli nyonso, oyo basopa wuta na ebandeli ya mokili, ekotangama na mito ya bato ya ekeke oyo,
that the blood of all the prophets, that is being poured forth from the foundation of the world, may be required from this generation;
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 unto the blood of Zacharias, who perished between the altar and the house; yes, I say to you, It shall be required from this generation.
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, the lawyers, because ye took away the key of the knowledge; yourselves ye did not enter; and those coming in, ye did hinder.'
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,
And in his speaking these things unto them, the scribes and the Pharisees began fearfully to urge and to press him to speak about many things,
54 na kotiela Ye mitambo mpo na kozwa, kati na maloba na Ye, likambo ya kofunda Ye.
laying wait for him, and seeking to catch something out of his mouth, that they might accuse him.
