Luka 18
1 Yesu alobaki na bayekoli na Ye lisese moko mpo na kolakisa bango ete basengeli kosambelaka tango nyonso, na kolemba te.
And he spake also a parable vnto them, to this ende, that they ought alwayes to pray, and not to waxe faint,
2 Alobaki: — Kati na engumba moko, ezalaki na mosambisi moko oyo azalaki kotosa Nzambe te, mpe azalaki komemia bato te.
Saying, There was a iudge in a certaine citie, which feared not God, neither reuereced man.
3 Kati na engumba yango, ezalaki mpe na mwasi moko akufisa mobali; azalaki koya mbala na mbala epai ya mosambisi yango mpo na koloba na ye: « Longisa ngai liboso ya monguna na ngai. »
And there was a widowe in that citie, which came vnto him, saying, Doe mee iustice against mine aduersarie.
4 Wuta tango molayi, mosambisi yango aboyaki. Kasi suka na suka, amilobelaki: « Atako natosaka Nzambe te mpe namemiaka bato te,
And hee would not of a long time: but afterward he said with himselfe, Though I feare not God, nor reuerence man,
5 kasi lokola motungisi ya mwasi oyo akufisa mobali eleki ndelo, nakolongisa ye kaka, mpo ete akoba te koyaka tango nyonso kino kozangisa ngai kimia. »
Yet because this widowe troubleth mee, I will doe her right, lest at the last shee come and make me wearie.
6 Nkolo abakisaki: — Boyoka maloba ya mosambisi mabe oyo!
And the Lord said, Heare what the vnrighteous iudge saith.
7 Boni, Nzambe akolongisa te baponami na Ye, tango bagangaka epai na Ye butu mpe moyi? Boni, akozelisa bango?
Now shall not God auenge his elect, which cry day and night vnto him, yea, though he suffer long for them?
8 Nazali koloba na bino: akolongisa bango noki. Nzokande, ekozala ndenge nini tango Mwana na Moto akoya! Boni, akokuta kondima kati na mokili?
I tell you he will auenge them quickly: but when the Sonne of man commeth, shall he finde faith on the earth?
9 Epai ya bato oyo bamimonaki bato ya sembo mpe batiolaki bato mosusu, Yesu alobaki lisusu lisese oyo:
He spake also this parable vnto certaine which trusted in themselues that they were iust, and despised other.
10 — Bato mibale bakendeki na Tempelo mpo na kosambela: moko azalaki Mofarizeo; mpe mosusu, mofutisi mpako.
Two men went vp into the Temple to pray: the one a Pharise, and the other a Publican.
11 Mofarizeo abendanaki ye moko na pembeni mpe asambelaki: « Oh Nzambe, nazali kotonda Yo, mpo ete nazali te lokola bato mosusu oyo bazali miyibi, bato mabe, bato na bikobo to mpe lokola mofutisi mpako oyo.
The Pharise stoode and prayed thus with himselfe, O God, I thanke thee that I am not as other men, extortioners, vniust, adulterers, or euen as this Publican.
12 Nakilaka bilei mbala mibale na poso mpe napesaka eteni ya zomi ya nyonso oyo nazwaka. »
I fast twise in the weeke: I giue tithe of all that euer I possesse.
13 Kasi mofutisi mpako atelemaki mwa mosika; amekaki ata te kotombola miso na ye na likolo, kasi atiaki loboko na ye na tolo mpe alobaki: « Oh Nzambe, yokela ngai mawa, pamba te nazali moto ya masumu! »
But the Publican standing a farre off, woulde not lift vp so much as his eyes to heauen, but smote his brest, saying, O God, be mercifull to me a sinner.
14 Nazali koloba na bino: mofutisi mpako azongaki na ndako na ye sima na Nzambe kokomisa ye moto ya sembo, kasi Mofarizeo te. Pamba te moto nyonso oyo amitombolaka, bakokitisa ye; mpe oyo amikitisaka, bakotombola ye.
I tell you, this man departed to his house iustified, rather then the other: for euery man that exalteth himselfe, shall be brought lowe, and he that humbleth himselfe, shalbe exalted.
15 Bato bazalaki mpe komema bana mike epai ya Yesu mpo ete atia bango maboko. Tango bayekoli bamonaki bongo, bapamelaki bango.
They brought vnto him also babes that he should touche them. And when his disciples sawe it, they rebuked them.
16 Kasi Yesu abengaki bana mpe alobaki: — Botika bana mike baya epai na Ngai; bopekisa bango te koya epai na Ngai, pamba te Bokonzi ya Nzambe ezali mpo na bato oyo bazali lokola bana mike.
But Iesus called them vnto him, and said, Suffer the babes to come vnto mee, and forbid them not: for of such is the kingdome of God.
17 Nazali koloba na bino penza ya solo: moto nyonso oyo azali koyamba te Bokonzi ya Nzambe lokola mwana moke akotikala kokota te kati na Bokonzi yango.
Verely I say vnto you, whosoeuer receiueth not the kingdome of God as a babe, he shall not enter therein.
18 Mokambi moko ya Bayuda atunaki na Yesu: — Moteyi malamu, nasengeli kosala nini mpo ete nazwa bomoi ya seko? (aiōnios g166)
Then a certaine ruler asked him, saying, Good Master, what ought I to doe, to inherite eternall life? (aiōnios g166)
19 Yesu azongisaki: — Mpo na nini ozali kobenga Ngai « Moteyi malamu? » Moko te azali malamu, longola kaka Ye moko Nzambe.
And Iesus said vnto him, Why callest thou me good? none is good, saue one, euen God.
20 Oyebi mibeko oyo: « Okosalaka ekobo te, okobomaka te, okoyibaka te, okolobaka te matatoli ya lokuta mpo na kokosela moninga na yo makambo, okopesaka tata na yo mpe mama na yo lokumu. »
Thou knowest the comandements, Thou shalt not commit adulterie: Thou shalt not kill: Thou shalt not steale: Thou shalt not beare false witnes: Honour thy father and thy mother.
21 Mokambi yango azongisaki: — Natosaka nyonso wana wuta bolenge na ngai.
And hee saide, All these haue I kept from my youth.
22 Sima na Yesu koyoka bongo, alobaki na ye: — Ozangi eloko moko. Teka biloko na yo nyonso, kabola mbongo oyo okozwa epai ya babola, mpe okozwa bomengo kati na Likolo. Sima na yango, yaka mpe landa Ngai.
Nowe when Iesus heard that, he saide vnto him, Yet lackest thou one thing. Sell all that euer thou hast, and distribute vnto the poore, and thou shalt haue treasure in heauen, and come follow mee.
23 Tango mokambi ya Bayuda ayokaki bongo, akomaki mawa-mawa, pamba te azalaki na bozwi mingi.
But when he heard those things, he was very heauie: for he was marueilous riche.
24 Yesu atalaki ye mpe alobaki: — Ezali pasi mpo na mozwi kokota kati na Bokonzi ya Nzambe!
And when Iesus sawe him very sorowfull, he said, With what difficultie shall they that haue riches, enter into the kingdome of God!
25 Nzokande, eleki pete mpo na shamo kolekela na lidusu ya tonga; kasi ezali penza pasi mpo na mozwi kokota kati na Bokonzi ya Nzambe.
Surely it is easier for a camel to go through a needles eye, then for a riche man to enter into the kingdome of God.
26 Bato oyo bayokaki Ye koloba bongo batunaki: — Bongo nani penza akoki kobikisama?
Then said they that heard it, And who then can be saued?
27 Yesu azongisaki: — Oyo ekoki kosalema te elongo na bato, ekoki kosalema elongo na Nzambe.
And he said, The things which are vnpossible with men, are possible with God.
28 Petelo alobaki na Yesu: — Nkolo, totiki nyonso oyo tozalaki na yango mpo na kolanda Yo!
Then Peter said, Loe, we haue left all, and haue followed thee.
29 Yesu alobaki na bango: — Nazali koloba na bino penza ya solo: moto nyonso oyo atiki ndako na ye, mwasi na ye, bandeko na ye, baboti na ye to bana na ye, mpo na kozwa Bokonzi ya Nzambe lokola litomba,
And he said vnto them, Verely I say vnto you, there is no man that hath left house, or parents, or brethren, or wife, or children for the kingdome of Gods sake,
31 Yesu abendaki na pembeni bayekoli na Ye zomi na mibale mpe alobaki na bango: — Tozali kokende na Yelusalemi; makambo nyonso oyo basakoli bakoma na tina na Mwana na Moto ekokokisama.
Then Iesus tooke vnto him ye twelue, and said vnto them, Beholde, we goe vp to Hierusalem, and all things shalbe fulfilled to the Sonne of man, that are writttn by the Prophets.
32 Bakokaba Ye na maboko ya bapagano, bakoseka Ye, bakofinga Ye, bakobwakela Ye soyi,
For he shall be deliuered vnto the Gentiles, and shalbe mocked, and shalbe spitefully entreated, and shalbe spitted on.
33 bakobeta Ye fimbu mpe bakoboma Ye; mpe, na mokolo ya misato, akosekwa.
And when they haue scourged him, they will put him to death: but the thirde day hee shall rise againe.
34 Bayekoli basosolaki ata eloko moko te kati na makambo yango; ndimbola na yango ezalaki ya kobombama mpo na bango, mpe bayebaki te makambo oyo Yesu azalaki kolobela.
But they vnderstood none of these things, and this saying was hidde from them, neither perceiued they the things, which were spoken.
35 Wana Yesu akomaki pene ya Jeriko, ezalaki na mokufi miso pembeni ya nzela, azalaki ya kovanda mpe azalaki kosenga-senga.
And it came to passe, that as he was come neere vnto Iericho, a certaine blinde man sate by the way side, begging.
36 Tango ayokaki makelele ya ebele ya bato oyo bazali koleka, atunaki: — Likambo nini oyo ezali kosalema?
And when he heard the people passe by, he asked what it meant.
37 Balobaki na ye: — Yesu ya Nazareti azali koleka!
And they saide vnto him, that Iesus of Nazareth passed by.
38 Agangaki: — Yesu, Mwana ya Davidi, yokela ngai mawa!
Then hee cried, saying, Iesus the Sonne of Dauid, haue mercie on me.
39 Bato oyo bazalaki liboso bapamelaki ye mpe balobaki na ye ete akanga monoko; kasi, ye, agangaki lisusu makasi koleka: — Mwana ya Davidi, yokela ngai mawa!
And they which went before, rebuked him that he shoulde holde his peace, but he cried much more, O Sone of Dauid, haue mercie on me.
40 Yesu atelemaki mpe atindaki ete bamemela Ye mokufi miso yango. Tango akomaki pene na Ye, Yesu atunaki ye:
And Iesus stoode stil, and commanded him to be brought vnto him. And when he was come neere, he asked him,
41 — Olingi nasala nini mpo na yo? Mokufi miso azongisaki: — Nkolo, nalingi komona.
Saying, What wilt thou that I doe vnto thee? And he said, Lord, that I may receiue my sight.
42 Yesu alobaki na ye: — Mona! Kondima na yo ebikisi yo.
And Iesus said vnto him, Receiue thy sight: thy faith hath saued thee.
43 Mpe mbala moko, akomaki komona, mpe alandaki Yesu, na kokumisa Nzambe. Tango bato nyonso bamonaki bongo, bango mpe bakumisaki Nzambe.
Then immediatly he receiued his sight, and followed him, praysing God: and all the people, when they sawe this, gaue praise to God.
