Luka 19
1 Yesu akotaki na engumba Jeriko, mpe azalaki kokatisa yango.
And he entered and passed through Jericho.
2 Nzokande, ezalaki na moto moko kuna, kombo na ye « Zashe. » Azalaki mokonzi ya bafutisi mpako, mpe azalaki na bozwi ebele;
And behold, [there was] a man by name called Zacchaeus, and he was chief tax-gatherer, and he was rich.
3 azalaki na posa ya komona soki Yesu azali nani, kasi lokola azalaki mokuse, akokaki te komona Ye mpo ete bato bazalaki ebele penza.
And he sought to see Jesus who he was: and he could not for the crowd, because he was little in stature.
4 Boye akimaki mbangu na liboso mpe amataki na nzete ya sikomori mpo na komona Yesu, pamba te Yesu akolekela na nzela wana.
And running on before, he got up into a sycamore that he might see him, for he was going to pass that [way].
5 Tango Yesu akomaki na esika yango, atombolaki miso mpe alobaki na ye: — Zashe, kita noki! Nasengeli kolala na ndako na yo lelo.
And when he came up to the place, Jesus looked up and saw him, and said to him, Zacchaeus, make haste and come down, for to-day I must remain in thy house.
6 Mbala moko, Zashe akitaki mpe ayambaki Yesu na esengo.
And he made haste and came down, and received him with joy.
7 Tango bato nyonso bamonaki bongo, bakomaki koyimayima; bazalaki koloba: — Tala, akei kolala na ndako ya moto ya masumu!
And all murmured when they saw [it], saying, He has turned in to lodge with a sinful man.
8 Kasi Zashe atelemaki mpe alobaki na Ye: — Nkolo, nazali kopesa, awa mpe sik’oyo, kati-kati ya biloko na ngai epai ya babola; mpe, soki nabotolaki biloko ya moto, nazali kozongisela ye yango mbala minei.
But Zacchaeus stood and said to the Lord, Behold, Lord, the half of my goods I give to the poor, and if I have taken anything from any man by false accusation, I return [him] fourfold.
9 Yesu alobaki na ye: — Lelo, lobiko eyei na ndako oyo, mpo ete ye mpe azali mwana ya Abrayami.
And Jesus said to him, To-day salvation is come to this house, inasmuch as he also is a son of Abraham;
10 Pamba te Mwana na Moto ayaki mpo na koluka mpe kobikisa bato oyo babunga.
for the Son of man has come to seek and to save that which is lost.
11 Wana bazalaki koyoka makambo yango, Yesu akobaki koloba lisese moko, pamba te akomaki pene ya Yelusalemi, mpe mpo ete bato bakanisaki ete Bokonzi ya Nzambe elingi komimonisa kaka na tango yango.
But as they were listening to these things, he added and spake a parable, because he was near to Jerusalem and they thought that the kingdom of God was about to be immediately manifested.
12 Boye Yesu alobaki: — Ezalaki na moto moko abotama na libota ya mbongo; akendeki na mokili moko ya mosika mpo ete bakomisa ye mokonzi mpe, sima na yango, akozonga.
He said therefore, A certain high-born man went to a distant country to receive for himself a kingdom and return.
13 Boye abengaki basali zomi kati na basali na ye mpe apesaki bango mbongo ya bibende zomi. Alobaki na bango: « Bosala mombongo na mbongo oyo kino tango nakozonga. »
And having called his own ten bondmen, he gave to them ten minas, and said to them, Trade while I am coming.
14 Kasi bandeko na ye, bana mboka, bazalaki kolinga ye te; batindaki ndambo ya bato, sima na ye, mpo na koloba: « Toboyi ete moto oyo akoma mokonzi na biso. »
But his citizens hated him, and sent an embassy after him, saying, We will not that this [man] should reign over us.
15 Sima na ye kozwa bokonzi, azongaki na ekolo na ye mpe abengaki basali epai ya banani apesaki mbongo mpo na koyeba soki bazwi mileki boni na mbongo na ye.
And it came to pass on his arrival back again, having received the kingdom, that he desired these bondmen to whom he gave the money to be called to him, in order that he might know what every one had gained by trading.
16 Mosali ya liboso ayaki mpe alobaki: « Nkolo na ngai, mbongo na yo eboti mbongo ya bibende zomi lokola mileki. »
And the first came up, saying, [My] Lord, thy mina has produced ten minas.
17 Nkolo alobaki na ye: « Osali malamu! Ozali mosali malamu! Mpo ete ozalaki sembo na likambo ya moke, nakokomisa yo moyangeli ya bingumba zomi. »
And he said to him, Well [done], thou good bondman; because thou hast been faithful in that which is least, be thou in authority over ten cities.
18 Mosali ya mibale ayaki mpe alobaki: « Nkolo na ngai, mbongo na yo eboti mbongo ya bibende mitano lokola mileki. »
And the second came, saying, [My] Lord, thy mina has made five minas.
19 Nkolo na ye azongisaki: « Nakokomisa yo moyangeli ya bingumba mitano. »
And he said also to this one, And thou, be over five cities.
20 Mosali mosusu ayaki mpe alobaki: « Nkolo na ngai, tala mbongo na yo! Nabombaki yango malamu kati na eteni ya elamba.
And another came, saying, [My] Lord, lo, [there is] thy mina, which I have kept laid up in a towel.
21 Nazalaki kobanga yo, pamba te ozalaka moto ya matata: ozwaka biloko oyo obombaki te mpe obukaka bambuma ya nkona oyo olonaki te. »
For I feared thee because thou art a harsh man: thou takest up what thou hast not laid down, and thou reapest what thou hast not sowed.
22 Nkolo na ye azongisaki: « Mosali mabe! Nakopesa yo etumbu kolanda maloba na yo moko. Oyebaki ete nazali moto ya matata, ete nazwaka biloko oyo nabombaki te mpe nabukaka bambuma ya nkona oyo nalonaki te.
He says to him, Out of thy mouth will I judge thee, wicked bondman: thou knewest that I am a harsh man, taking up what I have not laid down and reaping what I have not sowed.
23 Bongo mpo na nini obombaki te mbongo na ngai kati na ndako ya misolo? Na bozongi na ngai, nalingaki kozwa yango elongo na mileki? »
And why didst thou not give my money to [the] bank; and I should have received it, at my coming, with interest?
24 Bongo nkolo alobaki na bato oyo bazalaki wana: « Bobotola ye mbongo yango mpe bopesa yango na moto oyo azali na mbongo ya bibende zomi. »
And he said to those that stood by, Take from him the mina and give [it] to him who has the ten minas.
25 Balobaki na ye: « Nkolo, azali na mbongo ya bibende zomi! »
And they said to him, Lord, he has ten minas.
26 Nkolo azongisaki: « Nazali koloba na bino: na moto oyo azali na eloko, bakopesa ye lisusu; kasi na moto oyo azangi, bakobotola ye ata oyo azali na yango.
For I say unto you, that to every one that has shall be given; but from him that has not, that even which he has shall be taken from him.
27 Kasi banguna na ngai wana, oyo baboyaki ete nakoma mokonzi na bango, bomemela ngai bango awa mpe boboma bango na miso na ngai. »
Moreover those mine enemies, who would not [have] me to reign over them, bring them here and slay [them] before me.
28 Sima na Yesu koloba bongo, alekaki liboso mpo na kokende na Yelusalemi.
And having said these things, he went on before, going up to Jerusalem.
29 Wana akomaki pene ya Betifaje mpe Betani, na ngomba oyo babengaka « ngomba ya banzete ya olive, » atindaki bayekoli mibale kati na bayekoli na Ye;
And it came to pass as he drew near to Bethphage and Bethany at the mountain called [the mount] of Olives, he sent two of his disciples,
30 alobaki na bango: — Bokende na mboka oyo ezali liboso na bino. Tango kaka bokokota na mboka yango, bokomona mwana ya ane bakanga na singa, oyo moto ata moko te asila kosalela; bofungola yango mpe bomema yango awa.
saying, Go into the village over against [you], in which ye will find, on entering it, a colt tied up, on which no [child] of man ever sat at any time: loose it and lead it [here].
31 Soki moto moko atuni bino: « Mpo na nini bozali kofungola yango? » Boloba na ye: « Nkolo azali na bosenga na yango. »
And if any one ask you, Why do ye loose [it]? thus shall ye say to him, Because the Lord has need of it.
32 Bato oyo Yesu atindaki bakendeki mpe bamonaki yango ndenge kaka Yesu alobaki na bango.
And they that were sent, having gone their way, found as he had said to them.
33 Wana bazalaki kofungola mwana yango ya ane, bankolo na yango batunaki bango: — Mpo na nini bozali kofungola mwana oyo ya ane?
And as they were loosing the colt, its masters said to them, Why loose ye the colt?
34 Bazongisaki: — Nkolo azali na bosenga na yango.
And they said, Because the Lord has need of it.
35 Bamemaki mwana yango ya ane epai ya Yesu, batandaki bilamba na bango na mokongo na yango, mpe Yesu avandaki na likolo na yango.
And they led it to Jesus; and having cast their own garments on the colt, they put Jesus on [it].
36 Wana azalaki kokende, bato bazalaki kotanda bilamba na bango na nzela.
And as he went, they strewed their clothes in the way.
37 Mpe tango akomaki pene ya Yelusalemi, na esika oyo nzela ekita na ngomba ya banzete ya olive, ebele ya bayekoli babandaki kokumisa Nzambe, na esengo nyonso mpe na mongongo makasi mpo na bikamwa nyonso oyo bamonaki.
And as he drew near, already at the descent of the mount of Olives, all the multitude of the disciples began, rejoicing, to praise God with a loud voice for all the works of power which they had seen,
38 Bazalaki koloba: « Tika ete apambolama, mokonzi oyo ayei na Kombo ya Nkolo! Kimia kati na Likolo, mpe nkembo kati na bisika oyo eleki Likolo! »
saying, Blessed the King that comes in the name of [the] Lord: peace in heaven, and glory in the highest.
39 Ndambo ya Bafarizeo, kati na ebele ya bato, balobaki na Yesu: — Moteyi, pamela bayekoli na Yo!
And some of the Pharisees from the crowd said to him, Teacher, rebuke thy disciples.
40 Yesu azongisaki: — Nazali koloba na bino: soki bango babateli kimia, mabanga ekoganga!
And he answering said to them, I say unto you, If these shall be silent, the stones will cry out.
41 Lokola akomaki pene ya Yelusalemi mpe amonaki engumba, alelaki mpo na yango
And as he drew near, seeing the city, he wept over it,
42 mpe alobaki: — Ah, soki kaka yo mpe oyebaki, na mokolo ya lelo, makambo oyo elingaki komemela yo kimia! Kasi sik’oyo, ezali ya kobombama mosika na miso na yo.
saying, If thou hadst known, even thou, even at least in this thy day, the things that are for thy peace: but now they are hid from thine eyes;
43 Mikolo ya pasi ekokomela yo, mikolo oyo banguna na yo bakotimola mabulu pembeni na yo, bakozingela yo mpe bakofinafina yo na bangambo nyonso;
for days shall come upon thee, that thine enemies shall make a palisaded mound about thee, and shall close thee around, and keep thee in on every side,
44 bakobamba yo na mabele, yo mpe bato oyo bazali kati na lopango na yo, mpe bakotika ata libanga moko te na likolo ya libanga mosusu, pamba te oyebaki te tango oyo Nzambe ayaki epai na yo.
and shall lay thee even with the ground, and thy children in thee; and shall not leave in thee a stone upon a stone: because thou knewest not the season of thy visitation.
45 Yesu akotaki kati na lopango ya Tempelo mpe abandaki kobengana bato oyo bazalaki koteka biloko kuna; alobaki na bango:
And entering into the temple, he began to cast out those that sold and bought in it,
46 — Ekomama: « Ndako na Ngai ekozala Ndako ya losambo; » kasi bino, bokomisaki yango penza nganda ya miyibi!
saying to them, It is written, My house is a house of prayer, but ye have made it a den of robbers.
47 Yesu azalaki koteya mikolo nyonso na Tempelo. Bakonzi ya Banganga-Nzambe, balakisi ya Mobeko mpe bakambi ya Bayuda bazalaki koluka koboma Ye;
And he was teaching day by day in the temple: and the chief priests and the scribes and the chief of the people sought to destroy him,
48 kasi bazalaki kokoka te, pamba te bato nyonso bazalaki koyoka Yesu na bokebi.
and did not find what they could do, for all the people hung on him to hear.
