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 said unto his disciples, It is impossible but that occasions of stumbling should 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 were well for him if a millstone were hanged about his neck, and he were thrown into the sea, rather than that he should cause one of these little ones to stumble.
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 sin, rebuke him; and if he 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!
And if he sin against thee seven times in the 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 unto 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 ye have faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye would say unto this sycamine tree, Be thou rooted up, and be thou planted in the sea; and it would have obeyed 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 who is there of you, having a servant plowing or keeping sheep, that will say unto him, when he is come in from the field, Come straightway and sit down to meat;
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? »
and will not rather say unto him, Make ready wherewith I may sup, and gird thyself, and serve me, till I have eaten and drunken; and afterward thou shalt eat and drink?
9 Boni, akozongisela mosali wana matondi mpo ete asali mosala oyo atindaki ye?
Doth he thank the servant because he did the things that 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. »
Even so ye also, when ye shall have done all the things that are commanded you, say, We are unprofitable servants; we have done that which it was our duty to do.
11 Wana Yesu azalaki kokende na Yelusalemi, alekaki na mondelo kati na Samari mpe na Galile.
And it came to pass, as they were on the way to Jerusalem, that he was passing 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
And as he entered into a certain village, there met him ten men that were lepers, which stood afar off:
13 mpe babandaki kobelela Ye na mongongo makasi: — Mokonzi, Yesu, yokela biso mawa!
and they lifted up their voices, saying, 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 when he saw them, he said unto them, Go and shew yourselves unto the priests. And it came to pass, as they went, 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, when he saw that he was healed, turned back, 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 him thanks: and he was a Samaritan.
17 Bongo Yesu atunaki: — Boni, bango nyonso zomi bakomi peto te? Wapi bato mosusu libwa?
And Jesus answering said, Were not the ten cleansed? but where are the nine?
18 Moko te azongi mpo na kopesa Nzambe nkembo, longola kaka mopaya oyo?
Were there none found that returned to give glory to God, save this stranger?
19 Bongo alobaki na moto yango ya Samari: — Telema mpe kende; kondima na yo ebikisi yo!
And he said unto him, Arise, and go thy way: thy faith hath made thee whole.
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.
And being asked by the Pharisees, when the kingdom of God cometh, he answered them and said, The kingdom of God cometh not with observation:
21 Bakoloba te: « Ezali awa » to « Ezali kuna, » pamba te Bokonzi ya Nzambe ezali kati na bino.
neither shall they say, Lo, here! or, There! for lo, the kingdom of God is within 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 unto the disciples, The days will come, when ye shall desire to see one of the days of the Son of man, and ye shall not see it.
23 Bakoloba na bino: « Azali awa! » to « Azali kuna! » Bolanda bango te!
And they shall say to you, Lo, there! Lo, here! go not away, nor follow after [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, when it lighteneth out of the one part under the heaven, shineth unto the other part under heaven; so shall the Son of man be in his day.
25 Kasi liboso ete mokolo yango ekoma, asengeli komona pasi mingi, mpe bato ya ekeke oyo basengeli koboya Ye.
But first must he suffer many things and be rejected of this generation.
26 Ndenge esalemaki na tango ya Noa, ndenge wana mpe ekosalema na tango ya Mwana na Moto:
And as it came to pass in the days of Noah, even so shall it be also 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 ate, they drank, they married, they were given in marriage, until the day that 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 even as it came to pass in the days of Lot; they ate, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they builded;
29 Kasi na mokolo oyo Loti abimaki wuta na Sodome, mvula ya moto mpe ya fofolo ekitaki wuta na likolo mpe ebomaki bango nyonso.
but in the day that Lot went out from Sodom it rained fire and brimstone from heaven, and destroyed them all:
30 Ekozala mpe bongo, na mokolo oyo Mwana na Moto akomonana.
after the same manner shall it be in the day that 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, he which shall be on the housetop, and his goods in the house, let him not go down to take them away: and let him that is in the field likewise not return 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 shall seek to gain his life shall lose it: but whosoever shall lose [his life] shall preserve 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, In that night there shall be two men on one bed; the one shall be taken, and the other shall be left.
35 basi mibale bakozala konika bambuma elongo: moko akokamatama, mpe mosusu akotikala; [
There shall be two women grinding together; 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.
And they answering say unto him, Where, Lord? And he said unto them, Where the body [is], thither will the eagles also be gathered together.
