Luka 17
1 Yesu alobaki na bayekoli na Ye: — Makambo oyo ebetisaka bato mabaku ekoki kozanga te; kasi mawa na moto oyo, na nzela na ye, makambo yango eyaka!
And He spoke to His disciples, It is impossible for offenses not to come: but woe unto him, through whom they come;
2 Ekoleka malamu mpo na ye kokanga ye libanga monene ya enikelo, na kingo mpe kobwaka ye na ebale, na esika ya kotika ye kokweyisa na masumu moko kati na bana mike oyo.
it is good for him if a millstone is hung around his neck, and he is cast into the sea, rather than that he may offend one of these little ones.
3 Bosala penza keba mpo na bolamu na bino! Soki ndeko na yo asali yo mabe, pamela ye; mpe soki ayoki mawa mpo na mabe yango, limbisa ye.
Take heed to yourselves. If thy brother may sin, rebuke him; if he may repent, forgive him.
4 Mpe soki, na mokolo moko, asali yo mabe mbala sambo, mpe ayei epai na yo mbala sambo koloba na yo: « Nayoki mawa mpo na mabe na ngai, » limbisa ye!
But if he may sin against thee seven times a day, and seven times turn again to thee, saying, I repent; thou shalt forgive him.
5 Bantoma balobaki na Nkolo: — Bakisa kondima na biso!
And the apostles said to the Lord, Increase our faith.
6 Nkolo azongisaki: — Soki bozali na kondima oyo ezali moke lokola mbuma ya mutarde, bokoki koloba na nzete oyo: « Pikolama na esika oyo mpe kende komilona kati na ebale, » mpe ekotosa bino.
And the Lord said, If you have faith as a grain of mustard seed. you should say to this sycamine tree, Be thou plucked up, and planted in the sea; and it would obey you.
7 Nani kati na bino, soki azali na mosali bilanga to na mobateli bibwele, akoloba na ye tango azongi wuta na bilanga: « Yaka noki, vanda na mesa mpo ete olia? »
But which one of you, having a servant plowing or serving a shepherd, who will say to him, having come in from the field, Coming hither sit down immediately?
8 Boni, akoloba na ye te: « Lambela ngai bilei, lata bilamba na yo ya mosala mpo na kotiela ngai biloko na mesa, kino nasilisa kolia mpe komela; sima na yango nde yo mpe okoki kolia mpe komela? »
But will he not say to him, Prepare what I may sup, and girding thyself, minister unto me, until I may eat and drink; and after these things you eat and drink?
9 Boni, akozongisela mosali wana matondi mpo ete asali mosala oyo atindaki ye?
Whether does he thank the servant because he did the things which were commanded?
10 Ndenge moko mpe mpo na bino: soki bosali nyonso oyo batindi bino, boloba: « Tozali basali ya pamba, tokokisi kaka mokumba na biso. »
Likewise also, when you may do those things which are commanded you, say that, We are unprofitable servants; we have done that which we ought to do.
11 Wana Yesu azalaki kokende na Yelusalemi, alekaki na mondelo kati na Samari mpe na Galile.
And it came to pass, while He was journeying to Jerusalem, and He was going through the midst of Samaria and Galilee.
12 Lokola azalaki kokota na mboka moko, bato na maba zomi bayaki kokutana na Ye; batelemaki na mosika
He coming into a certain village, ten lepers met Him, who stood afar off;
13 mpe babandaki kobelela Ye na mongongo makasi: — Mokonzi, Yesu, yokela biso mawa!
and lifting up their voice, saying, Thou, Jesus, Master, have mercy on us.
14 Tango Yesu amonaki bango, alobaki: — Bokende komilakisa epai ya Banganga-Nzambe! Wana bazalaki kokende kuna, bakomaki peto.
And seeing, He said to them, Go and show yourselves to the priest. And it came to pass while they were going, they were cleansed:
15 Tango moko kati na bango amonaki ete abiki na bokono na ye, azongaki na kokumisa Nzambe na mongongo makasi.
and one of them, seeing that he was healed, returned, with a loud voice glorifying God,
16 Afukamaki na makolo ya Yesu, elongi kino na se, mpe azongiselaki Ye matondi. Moto yango azalaki moto ya Samari.
and he fell upon his face at His feet, giving thanks to Him: and he was a Samaritan.
17 Bongo Yesu atunaki: — Boni, bango nyonso zomi bakomi peto te? Wapi bato mosusu libwa?
And Jesus responding said, Were not the ten cleansed?
18 Moko te azongi mpo na kopesa Nzambe nkembo, longola kaka mopaya oyo?
Where are the nine? And they were not found returning to give thanks to God, except this one foreigner.
19 Bongo alobaki na moto yango ya Samari: — Telema mpe kende; kondima na yo ebikisi yo!
And He said to him, having arisen, go: thy faith hath saved thee.
20 Mokolo moko, Bafarizeo batunaki Yesu: — Bokonzi ya Nzambe ekoya tango nini? Yesu azongiselaki bango: — Bokonzi ya Nzambe ekoya te na lolenge ete bato bamona yango.
Then being interrogated by the Pharisees, when the kingdom of God is coming, He responded to them and said, The kingdom of God comes not with observation:
21 Bakoloba te: « Ezali awa » to « Ezali kuna, » pamba te Bokonzi ya Nzambe ezali kati na bino.
neither will they say; Lo, here! or, there! for behold, the kingdom of God is among you.
22 Bongo alobaki na bayekoli na Ye: — Tango ezali koya, tango oyo bokozala na posa makasi ya komona ata mokolo moko kati na mikolo ya Mwana na Moto, kasi bokomona yango te.
And He said to the disciples, The days will come, when you will desire to see one of the days of the Son of man, and will not see it.
23 Bakoloba na bino: « Azali awa! » to « Azali kuna! » Bolanda bango te!
And they will say to you, Lo, here! lo, there! go not away, nor follow them.
24 Pamba te, na mokolo na Ye, Mwana na Moto akozala lokola mokalikali oyo epeli mpe engengisi likolo longwa na este kino na weste.
For as the lightning, flashing out of the one part under the heaven, gleams into the other part under heaven, so shall be the Son of man in His day.
25 Kasi liboso ete mokolo yango ekoma, asengeli komona pasi mingi, mpe bato ya ekeke oyo basengeli koboya Ye.
But it behooves Him first to suffer many things and to be set at nought by this generation.
26 Ndenge esalemaki na tango ya Noa, ndenge wana mpe ekosalema na tango ya Mwana na Moto:
And as it was in the days of Noah, so it will be in the days of the Son of man.
27 bato bazalaki kolia, komela, kobala mpe kobalisa, kino na mokolo oyo Noa akotaki na masuwa; bongo mpela eyaki mpe ebomaki bango nyonso.
They were eating, they were drinking, they were marrying, they were getting married, until the day on which Noah entered into the ark, and the flood came and destroyed them all.
28 Ezalaki mpe bongo na tango ya Loti: bato bazalaki kolia, komela, kosomba, koteka, kolona mpe kotonga.
Likewise also as it was in the days of Lot; they were eating, they were drinking, they were buying, they were selling, they were planting, they were building;
29 Kasi na mokolo oyo Loti abimaki wuta na Sodome, mvula ya moto mpe ya fofolo ekitaki wuta na likolo mpe ebomaki bango nyonso.
and on the day on which Lot went out from Sodom, fire and brimstone rained from heaven and destroyed them all.
30 Ekozala mpe bongo, na mokolo oyo Mwana na Moto akomonana.
According to these things it will be in the day the Son of man is revealed.
31 Na mokolo yango, moto oyo akozala na likolo ya ndako na ye asengeli te kokita mpo na kozwa biloko kati na ndako na ye, mpe moto oyo akozala kati na bilanga na ye asengeli te kozonga na ndako mpo na likambo songolo.
In that day, let not him who is on the house, and his goods in the house, come down to take them: and likewise let not him who is in the field turn back.
32 Bokanisa makambo oyo ekomelaki mwasi ya Loti!
Remember Lot's wife.
33 Moto oyo akoluka kobatela bomoi na ye akobungisa yango, mpe moto oyo akobungisa bomoi na ye akobatela yango.
Whosoever may seek to save his soul shall lose it: and whosoever shall lose it shall find it.
34 Nazali koloba na bino: na butu wana, bato mibale bakozala na likolo ya mbeto moko: moko akokamatama, mpe mosusu akotikala;
I say unto you, on that night two men shall be on one bed; the one shall be taken and the other left.
35 basi mibale bakozala konika bambuma elongo: moko akokamatama, mpe mosusu akotikala; [
Two women shall be grinding at the same mill; the one shall be taken, and the other shall be left.
36 mibali mibale bakozala kati na elanga moko: moko akokamatama, mpe mosusu akotikala.]
37 Bayekoli batunaki Yesu: — Nkolo, makambo yango ekosalema wapi? Yesu azongiselaki bango: — Epai ebembe ezali, kuna nde bandeke oyo eliaka bibembe ekosangana.
Responding they say to Him, Where, Lord? And He said to them, Where the body is, there the eagles will also be gathered together.
