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 very 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 he answering, said to them: Think you that these Galileans were sinners above all the men of Galilee, because they suffered such things?
3 Nazali koloba na bino: Ezali bongo te! Kasi soki bobongoli mitema te, bino mpe bokokufa bino nyonso.
No, I say to you: but unless you shall do penance, 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 upon whom the tower fell in Siloe, and slew them: think you, that they also were debtors above all the men that dwelt in Jerusalem?
5 Nazali koloba na bino: Ezali bongo te! Soki bobongoli mitema te, bino mpe bokokufa bino nyonso.
No, I say to you; but except you do penance, 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.
He spoke also this parable: A certain man had a fig tree planted in his vineyard, and he came seeking 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? »
And he said to the dresser of the vineyard: Behold, for these three years I come seeking fruit on this fig tree, and I find none. Cut it done therefore: why cumbereth it the ground?
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 answering, said to him: Lord, let it alone this year also, until I dig about it, and dung it.
9 tango mosusu ekobota mbuma na mobu oyo ezali koya. Soki eboti te, wana kata na yo yango. »
And if happily it bear fruit: but if not, then after that thou shalt cut it down.
10 Mokolo moko ya Saba, Yesu azalaki koteya kati na ndako ya mayangani.
And he was teaching in their synagogue on their 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 a spirit of infirmity eighteen years: and she was bowed together, neither could she look upwards at all.
12 Tango Yesu amonaki ye, abengaki ye wuta na liboso mpe alobaki na ye: — Mwasi, okangolami na pasi na yo!
Whom when Jesus saw, he called her unto him, and said to her: Woman, thou art delivered from thy infirmity.
13 Mpe Yesu atielaki ye maboko. Mbala moko, mwasi yango amisembolaki mpe akomaki kokumisa Nzambe.
And he laid his hands upon her, and immediately she was made straight, 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!
And the ruler of the synagogue (being angry that Jesus had healed on the sabbath) answering, said to the multitude: Six days there are wherein you ought to work. In them therefore come, and be healed; and not on the sabbath day.
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?
And the Lord answering him, said: Ye hypocrites, doth not every one of you, on the sabbath day, loose his ox or his ass from the manger, and lead them to 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 daughter of Abraham, whom Satan hath bound, lo, these eighteen years, 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 said these things, all his adversaries were ashamed: and all the people rejoiced for all the things that were gloriously done by him.
18 Bongo Yesu atunaki: — Bokonzi ya Nzambe ekokani na nini? Nakokanisa yango na nini?
He said therefore: To what is the kingdom of God like, and whereunto shall I resemble 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 to a grain of mustard seed, which a man took and cast into his garden, and it grew and became a great tree, and the birds of the air lodged in the branches thereof.
20 Yesu atunaki lisusu: — Nakokokanisa Bokonzi ya Nzambe na nini?
And again he said: Whereunto shall I esteem the kingdom of God to be like?
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 to leaven, which a woman took and hid in three measures of meal, 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 the cities and towns teaching, and making his journey 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 they few that are saved? But 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 by the narrow gate; for many, I say to you, shall seek to enter, 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! »
But when the master of the house shall be gone in, and shall shut the door, you shall begin to stand without, and knock at the door, saying: Lord, open to us. And he answering, shall 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 shall 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 to you: I know you not, whence you are: depart from me, all ye 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 shall see Abraham and Isaac and Jacob, and all the prophets, in the kingdom of God, and you yourselves thrust out.
29 Bato bakowuta na Este mpe na Weste, na Nor mpe na Sude, mpe bakovanda na mesa kati na Bokonzi ya Nzambe.
And there shall come from the east and the west, and the north and the south; and shall sit down 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, they are last that shall be first; and they are 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!
The same day, there came some of the Pharisees, saying to him: Depart, and get thee hence, for Herod hath a mind to kill thee.
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 tell that fox, Behold, I cast out devils, and do cures today and tomorrow, and the third day I am consummated.
33 Kasi nasengeli kokoba mobembo na Ngai, lelo, lobi mpe lobi oyo ekolanda; pamba te mosakoli moko te akokufa libanda ya Yelusalemi!
Nevertheless I must walk today and tomorrow, and the day following, because it cannot be 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 would I have gathered thy children as the bird doth her brood under her wings, and thou wouldest not?
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 shall be left to you desolate. And I say to you, that you shall not see me till the time come, when you shall say: Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord.
