Luka 13
1 Na tango wana, ndambo ya bato bayaki koyebisa Yesu ndenge nini Pilato abomaki bato ya Galile na ngonga oyo bazalaki kobonzela Nzambe bambeka.
And there were present, at that time, some that told him of the Galileans, whose blood Pilate had mingled with their sacrifices.
2 Yesu alobaki na bango: — Bokanisi ete bato wana ya Galile bakufaki kufa ya somo mpo ete bazalaki bato minene ya masumu koleka bato nyonso mosusu ya Galile?
And Jesus answered and said to them: Do you think that those Galileans were greater sinners than all other Galileans, because they suffered such things?
3 Nazali koloba na bino: Ezali bongo te! Kasi soki bobongoli mitema te, bino mpe bokokufa bino nyonso.
I tell you, No; but unless you repent, you shall all likewise perish.
4 Bongo bato wana zomi na mwambe oyo bakufaki tango ndako molayi ya Siloe ekweyelaki bango, bokanisi ete bazalaki bato ya masumu koleka bavandi nyonso ya Yelusalemi?
Or, those eighteen, on whom the tower in Siloam fell, and killed them; do you think that they were greater debtors than all other men that were living in Jerusalem?
5 Nazali koloba na bino: Ezali bongo te! Soki bobongoli mitema te, bino mpe bokokufa bino nyonso.
I tell you, No; but unless you repent, you shall all likewise perish.
6 Bongo alobaki lisese oyo: — Moto moko azalaki na nzete na ye ya figi kati na elanga na ye ya vino; akendeki koluka bambuma na likolo ya nzete yango, kasi akutaki ata mbuma moko te.
And he spoke this parable: A certain man had a fig-tree that was planted in his vineyard; and he came and sought fruit on it, and found none.
7 Boye alobaki na mobateli elanga yango: « Tala, tokomi na mobu ya misato wuta nayaka koluka bambuma na likolo ya nzete oyo ya figi, mpe nazwi ata mbuma moko te. Kata yango! Mpo na nini ekanga mabele pamba? »
Then he said to his vine-dresser, Behold, for three years I have come and sought fruit on this fig-tree, and I have found none; cut it down; why does it occupy the ground unprofitably?
8 Mobateli elanga azongiselaki ye: « Nkolo na ngai, tika yango lisusu mobu oyo! Nakotimola mabele pembeni na yango mpe nakotia matiti ya kopola;
But he answered and said to him, Sir, let it alone this year also, till I shall dig about it, and throw in manure;
9 tango mosusu ekobota mbuma na mobu oyo ezali koya. Soki eboti te, wana kata na yo yango. »
and it may bear fruit; but if not, afterward you shall cut it down.
10 Mokolo moko ya Saba, Yesu azalaki koteya kati na ndako ya mayangani.
And he was teaching in one of the synagogues on the sabbath.
11 Nzokande, ezalaki wana na mwasi moko oyo molimo mabe egumba ye mokongo, mpe azalaki kokoka te komisembola wuta mibu zomi na mwambe.
And, behold, there was a woman who had had a spirit of infirmity for eighteen years; and she was bowed together, and was not able to raise herself up at all.
12 Tango Yesu amonaki ye, abengaki ye wuta na liboso mpe alobaki na ye: — Mwasi, okangolami na pasi na yo!
And when Jesus saw her, he called her to him, and said to her: Woman, you are released from your infirmity.
13 Mpe Yesu atielaki ye maboko. Mbala moko, mwasi yango amisembolaki mpe akomaki kokumisa Nzambe.
And he laid his hands on her; and she immediately stood erect, and glorified God.
14 Kasi mokambi ya ndako ya mayangani asilikaki mpo ete Yesu abikisi moto na mokolo ya Saba, mpe alobaki na ebele ya bato: — Ezali na mikolo motoba mpo na kosala mosala! Ezali na mikolo yango nde bosengeli koya mpo ete babikisa bino, kasi na mokolo ya Saba te!
But the ruler of the synagogue, indignant because Jesus had performed a cure on the sabbath-day, answered and said to the multitude: There are six days in which work ought to be done; on these, therefore, come and be cured, and not on the sabbath-day. Then the Lord answered him and said:
15 Nkolo azongiselaki ye: — Bato ya bilongi mibale! Nani kati na bino, na mokolo ya Saba, afungolaka te mpe amemaka te ngombe na ye to ane na ye, wuta na elielo, mpo ete ekende komela mayi?
Hypocrites, does not each one of you, on the sabbath, loose his ox or his ass from the stable, and lead him away, and give him water?
16 Mwasi oyo azali mokitani ya Abrayami! Nzokande Satana asila kokanga ye minyololo mibu zomi na mwambe! Boni, esengelaki te kokangola ye, na oyo ekanga ye, kaka mpo ete ezali mokolo ya Saba?
And ought not this woman, who is a daughter of Abraham, whom Satan has bound, lo, these eighteen years, to be loosed from this bond on the sabbath-day?
17 Tango alobaki bongo, bayini na Ye nyonso batondaki na soni; kasi ebele ya bato bazalaki kosepela na bikamwa nyonso oyo azalaki kosala.
And when he had said these things, all his adversaries were ashamed; and all the multitude rejoiced on account of all the glorious things that were done by him.
18 Bongo Yesu atunaki: — Bokonzi ya Nzambe ekokani na nini? Nakokanisa yango na nini?
Then he said: To what is the kingdom of God like; and to what shall I liken it?
19 Bokonzi ya Nzambe ekokani na nkona ya mutarde oyo moto moko azwaki mpe alonaki kati na elanga na ye, ebimisaki moto mpe ekomaki nzete monene, bongo bandeke ya likolo eyaki kovanda na bitape na yango.
It is like a grain of mustard, which a man took, and sowed in his garden; and it grew, and became a great tree; and the birds of the air roosted in its branches.
20 Yesu atunaki lisusu: — Nakokokanisa Bokonzi ya Nzambe na nini?
And again he said: To what shall I liken the kingdom of God?
21 Ekokani na levire oyo mwasi azwaki mpe asangisaki kati na bakilo pene tuku mibale na sambo ya farine, kino nyonso evimbaki.
It is like leaven, which a woman took and hid in three measures of flour, till the whole was leavened.
22 Yesu azalaki koleka na bingumba mpe na bamboka, azalaki koteya wana azalaki kokende na Yelusalemi.
And he went through every city and village, teaching, and journeying to Jerusalem.
23 Moto moko atunaki Ye: — Nkolo, bato moke kaka nde bakobika? Yesu alobaki na bango:
And a certain man said to him: Lord, are there few that are saved? And he said to them:
24 — Bosala makasi mpo na kokotela na ekuke ya moke; pamba te, nazali koloba na bino, bato mingi bakoluka kokota, kasi bakokoka te.
Strive to enter in through the strait gate; for many, I say to you, will seek to enter in, and shall not be able.
25 Tango Nkolo ndako akotelema mpe akokanga ekuke, bokotikala libanda, bokobanda kobeta ekuke mpe kobondela: « Nkolo, Nkolo, fungolela biso! » Kasi Ye akozongisela bino: « Nayebi bino te, nayebi mpe esika bowuti te! »
When once the master of the house has risen, and closed the door, and you begin to stand without, and to knock at the door, saying, Lord, Lord, open for us, and he shall answer and say to you, I know you not, whence you are;
26 Bongo bokoloba: « Toliaki mpe tomelaki mesa moko elongo na Yo, mpe oteyaki na babalabala na biso! »
then, you will begin to say, We have eaten and drunk in thy presence, and thou hast taught in our streets.
27 Kasi akozongisela bino: « Nayebi bino te, nayebi mpe esika bowuti te! Bolongwa liboso na Ngai, bino nyonso, bato mabe! »
And he shall say, I tell you, I know you not, whence you are; depart from me, all you workers of iniquity.
28 Kolela mpe koswa minu ekozala kuna, tango bokomona Abrayami, Izaki, Jakobi mpe basakoli nyonso kati na Bokonzi ya Nzambe; kasi bino, bokobwakama libanda.
There shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth, when you see Abraham and Isaac and Jacob and all the prophets in the kingdom of God, but your selves cast out.
29 Bato bakowuta na Este mpe na Weste, na Nor mpe na Sude, mpe bakovanda na mesa kati na Bokonzi ya Nzambe.
And they shall come from the east and the west, and from the north and the south, and shall recline at table in the kingdom of God.
30 Boye, kati na bato oyo bazali sik’oyo bato ya liboso, ebele bakokoma bato ya suka; mpe kati na ba-oyo bazali sik’oyo bato ya suka, ebele bakokoma bato ya liboso.
And behold, there are last that shall be first, and there arc first that shall be last.
31 Kaka na tango yango, ndambo ya Bafarizeo bayaki epai ya Yesu mpe balobaki na Ye: — Longwa awa, kende na yo esika mosusu, pamba te Erode akani koboma Yo!
On the same day, certain Pharisees came and said to him: Depart, and get away from this place; for Herod intends to kill you.
32 Yesu alobaki na bango: — Bokende koloba na mbwa wana ya zamba: « Nakokoba kobengana milimo mabe mpe kobikisa babeli, lelo mpe lobi; mpe na mokolo ya misato, nakosilisa mosala na Ngai. »
And he said to them: Go and toll that fox, Behold, I cast out demons, and perform cures to-day and to-morrow, and the third day I finish the work.
33 Kasi nasengeli kokoba mobembo na Ngai, lelo, lobi mpe lobi oyo ekolanda; pamba te mosakoli moko te akokufa libanda ya Yelusalemi!
But I must continue my journey to-day and to-morrow and the day following; for it is not possible that a prophet perish out of Jerusalem.
34 Yelusalemi, Yelusalemi, yo oyo obomaka basakoli mpe obambaka bato oyo Nzambe atindelaka yo mabanga, mbala boni nalingaki kosangisa bana na yo, ndenge soso ya mwasi esangisaka bana na yango na se ya mapapu, kasi boboyaki.
Jerusalem, Jerusalem, that killest the prophets and stonest them that are sent to thee: how often have I desired to gather thy children together, as a bird gathers her young under her wings, and you refused.
35 Sik’oyo, ndako na bino ezali kosundolama. Solo, nazali koloba na bino: Bokotikala komona Ngai lisusu te kino bokoloba: « Tika ete apambolama, Ye oyo ayei na Kombo ya Nkolo! »
Behold, your house is deserted; and I say to you, You shall not see me till the time come when you shall say, Blessed is he that comes in the name of the Lord.
