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.
Now there were some present at that very season who told him about the Galileans whose blood Pilate had mingled with their sacrifies.
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?
"Do you suppose," he answered them, "that those Galileans were worse sinners than the rest of the Galileans because they have suffered thus?
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 will 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 suppose that they were worse offenders than the rest of those who lived 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 will all perish as they did."
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.
Then he gave them this parable. "A man had a fig tree planted in his vineyard, and he came to look for fruit on it, but 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? »
So he said to the gardener. "‘See, for years I have come looking for fruit on this tree, and found none. Cut it down. Why should it actually cumber 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 the gardener answered him. ‘Lord, let it alone this year also, till I have dug around it, and fertilized it.
9 tango mosusu ekobota mbuma na mobu oyo ezali koya. Soki eboti te, wana kata na yo yango. »
"If after that it bears fruit, well and good; but if not you shall cut it down.’"
10 Mokolo moko ya Saba, Yesu azalaki koteya kati na ndako ya mayangani.
Once 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.
a woman was present who had a spirit of infirmity for eighteen years. she was bent double, and could not lift herself up at all.
12 Tango Yesu amonaki ye, abengaki ye wuta na liboso mpe alobaki na ye: — Mwasi, okangolami na pasi na yo!
Jesus noticed her and called to him and said, "Woman, you are free from your weakness."
13 Mpe Yesu atielaki ye maboko. Mbala moko, mwasi yango amisembolaki mpe akomaki kokumisa Nzambe.
Then he placed his hand on her, and she instantly stood upright and began to give glory to 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 was indignant at Jesus for healing her on the Sabbath, and said to the crowd. "There are six days of the week on which men ought to work. Therefore come during those, and get cured, but 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?
But the Lord answered him. "Hypocrites!" he said, "does not each one of you loose his ox or his ass from the stall on the Sabbath Day, and lead it 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 this woman, who is the daughter of Abraham, whom Satan has bound these eighteen years, ought she not have been loosened from bondage, though the day be the Sabbath?"
17 Tango alobaki bongo, bayini na Ye nyonso batondaki na soni; kasi ebele ya bato bazalaki kosepela na bikamwa nyonso oyo azalaki kosala.
As he said this, all adversaries were put to shame; and all the crowd rejoiced for the glorious things that he continually did.
18 Bongo Yesu atunaki: — Bokonzi ya Nzambe ekokani na nini? Nakokanisa yango na nini?
This led him to say. "What is the kingdom of God like? And to what shall I compare 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 mustardseed, which a man took and cast into his own garden. It grew and became a tree, and the wild birds nested 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 took and hid in three measures of flour until the whole was leavened."
22 Yesu azalaki koleka na bingumba mpe na bamboka, azalaki koteya wana azalaki kokende na Yelusalemi.
So he went on his way through cities and villages,
23 Moto moko atunaki Ye: — Nkolo, bato moke kaka nde bakobika? Yesu alobaki na bango:
teaching as he journeyed toward Jerusalem. And a man came behind him and said, "Lord are there but few that are saved?"
24 — Bosala makasi mpo na kokotela na ekuke ya moke; pamba te, nazali koloba na bino, bato mingi bakoluka kokota, kasi bakokoka te.
"Struggle to enter in by the narrow door," he answered, "for I tell you that many will try to enter and 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 is risen up and has shut the door. You will begin to stand outside, and to knock at the door, crying, "‘Lord, open to us.’ "‘I do not know were you came from,’ he will reply.
26 Bongo bokoloba: « Toliaki mpe tomelaki mesa moko elongo na Yo, mpe oteyaki na babalabala na biso! »
"Then you will begin saying, ‘But we have eaten and drunk in your presence, and you have taught in our streets.’
27 Kasi akozongisela bino: « Nayebi bino te, nayebi mpe esika bowuti te! Bolongwa liboso na Ngai, bino nyonso, bato mabe! »
"But he will answer. "‘I tell you I do not know were you came from;
28 Kolela mpe koswa minu ekozala kuna, tango bokomona Abrayami, Izaki, Jakobi mpe basakoli nyonso kati na Bokonzi ya Nzambe; kasi bino, bokobwakama libanda.
"‘depart from me, all of you, you evil-doers.’ There will 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 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 people shall come from the Orient and from the Occident, from the north and from the south, and 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 lo, there are last which shall be first, and there are first which 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!
That very day there came some Pharisees to him, saying, "Get out of here and go away, for Herod wishes 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. »
"Go, tell that fox," he answered, "‘Lo, today and tomorrow I am continuing to cast out demons and perform cures, and on the third day I finish my course.’
33 Kasi nasengeli kokoba mobembo na Ngai, lelo, lobi mpe lobi oyo ekolanda; pamba te mosakoli moko te akokufa libanda ya Yelusalemi!
"Yet I must continue my journey today, tomorrow, and the day following; for it would never do for a prophet to perish outside 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.
"O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, you who kill the prophets and stone those who are sent to you! How often would I have gathered your children, as a hen gathers her chickens under her wings, and you would 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 is left to you, desolate! I tell you that you shall never see me again until you say, Blessed is he that comes in the name of the Lord,"
