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 at that time, some came and told him of those 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 replied, and said to them: Suppose ye, that these Galileans were sinners beyond all the Galileans, because this occurred to them?
3 Nazali koloba na bino: Ezali bongo te! Kasi soki bobongoli mitema te, bino mpe bokokufa bino nyonso.
No. And I say to you, That all of you also, unless ye repent, will 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 slew them, suppose ye, that they were sinners beyond all the men inhabiting Jerusalem?
5 Nazali koloba na bino: Ezali bongo te! Soki bobongoli mitema te, bino mpe bokokufa bino nyonso.
No. And I say to you, That except ye resent, ye like them will all of you 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 similitude: A man had a fig-tree that was planted in his vineyard: and he came, seeking fruits upon 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 cultivator: Lo, these three years, I have come seeking fruits on this fig-tree, and I find none. Cut it down: why should it 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;
The cultivator said to him: My Lord, spare it this year also, until I shall work about it, and manure it.
9 tango mosusu ekobota mbuma na mobu oyo ezali koya. Soki eboti te, wana kata na yo yango. »
And if it bear fruits, well; and if not, thou wilt cut it down: why should it live?
10 Mokolo moko ya Saba, Yesu azalaki koteya kati na ndako ya mayangani.
And when Jesus 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 there who had had a spirit of infirmity eighteen years; and she was bent over, and could not straighten herself at all.
12 Tango Yesu amonaki ye, abengaki ye wuta na liboso mpe alobaki na ye: — Mwasi, okangolami na pasi na yo!
And Jesus saw her, and called her, and said to her: Woman, thou art released from thy infirmity.
13 Mpe Yesu atielaki ye maboko. Mbala moko, mwasi yango amisembolaki mpe akomaki kokumisa Nzambe.
And he put his hand upon her; and immediately she straightened her self up, 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 chief of the synagogue, being angry that Jesus had healed on the sabbath, answered, and said to the multitude: There are six days, on which it is lawful to work; on them come ye, 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?
But Jesus replied, and said to him: Thou hypocrite! Doth not every one of you, on the sabbath, loose his ox or his ass from the stall, and lead him 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, a daughter of Abraham, whom the Calumniator hath bound, lo, these eighteen years, ought she not 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 those that stood up against him were ashamed: and all the people rejoiced in all the miracles that were wrought by his hand.
18 Bongo Yesu atunaki: — Bokonzi ya Nzambe ekokani na nini? Nakokanisa yango na nini?
And Jesus said: To what is the kingdom of God like? and with 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 mustard, which a man took and cast into his garden; and it grew, and became a large tree; and a bird of heaven made her nest in its branches.
20 Yesu atunaki lisusu: — Nakokokanisa Bokonzi ya Nzambe na nini?
Jesus said again: With what shall I compare 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 seahs of meal, until the whole was fermented.
22 Yesu azalaki koleka na bingumba mpe na bamboka, azalaki koteya wana azalaki kokende na Yelusalemi.
And he travelled through the villages and cities, teaching and going towards Jerusalem.
23 Moto moko atunaki Ye: — Nkolo, bato moke kaka nde bakobika? Yesu alobaki na bango:
And a person asked him, whether they were few who would have life?
24 — Bosala makasi mpo na kokotela na ekuke ya moke; pamba te, nazali koloba na bino, bato mingi bakoluka kokota, kasi bakokoka te.
And Jesus said to them: Strive to enter the narrow gate: for I say to you, many will seek to enter, and will 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! »
From the time that the lord of the house shall rise and close the door, then ye will stand without, and knock at the door; and ye will begin to say: Our Lord, our Lord, open to us and he will answer, and say: I tell you, I know you not, whence ye are.
26 Bongo bokoloba: « Toliaki mpe tomelaki mesa moko elongo na Yo, mpe oteyaki na babalabala na biso! »
And ye will begin to say: We have eaten and drunken before thee; 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 will say to you: I know you not, whence ye are: depart from me, ye doers of falsehood.
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 will be weeping and gnashing of teeth, when ye will see Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob, and all the prophets, in the kingdom of God; and yourselves will be 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 they will come from the east and from the west, and from the south and from the north, and will recline 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 that will be first, and there are first that will 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 came some of the Pharisees, and said to him: Go, depart hence; for Herod purposeth 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. »
Jesus said to them: Go ye and tell that fox, Behold, I cast out demons and perform cures, to-day and to-morrow, and on the third day I shall be consummated.
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 labor to-day and to-morrow, and on the following day I will go; because it cannot be, that a prophet should perish away from 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, that killest the prophets, and stonest them that are sent to thee; how many times would I have gathered thy children, as a hen that gathereth her young under her wings, and ye 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. For I say to you: Ye will not see me, until ye will say, Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord.
