Luka 7
1 Sima na Yesu koloba makambo oyo nyonso epai ya bato, akotaki na Kapernawumi.
When He completed all His words in the ears of the people, He came into Capernaum.
2 Kuna, mosali moko ya mokonzi ya basoda azalaki kobela mpe akomaki pene ya kokufa. Mokonzi yango ya basoda azalaki kolinga mingi mosali na ye.
And the servant of a certain centurion, being sick, was about to die, who was precious to him.
3 Tango mokonzi ya basoda ayokaki sango na tina na Yesu, atindaki ndambo ya bampaka ya Bayuda epai na Yesu mpo na kosenga na Ye ete akende kobikisa mosali ya mokonzi ya basoda.
And hearing about Jesus, he sent elders of the Jews to Him, asking Him that having come He may save his servant.
4 Tango bakomaki epai ya Yesu, babondelaki Ye makasi; balobaki: — Tata wana abongi penza ete osalela ye likambo oyo asengi epai na Yo,
And they, having come to Jesus, continued to entreat Him earnestly, saying, That he to whom He will do this is worthy:
5 pamba te alingaka ekolo na biso, mpe ye nde atongaki ndako na biso ya mayangani.
for he loves our race, and himself built for us a synagogue.
6 Boye Yesu akendeki elongo na bango. Kasi tango akomaki pene ya ndako, mokonzi ya basoda atindaki baninga na ye koloba na Yesu: — Nkolo, komitungisa na Yo te, pamba te nazali ya kokoka te mpo ete okota na ndako na ngai.
And Jesus went along with them. And already He being not far from the house, the centurion sent friends to Him, saying to Him, Lord, be not troubled: for I am not worthy that you may come in under my roof:
7 Ezali mpe mpo na yango nde namimonaki ete nabongi te mpo na koya epai na Yo. Kasi loba kaka liloba moko, mpe mosali na ngai akobika na bokono na ye.
Therefore I did not count myself worthy to come to thee; but speak the word, and my servant shall be healed.
8 Pamba te ngai moko mpe nazali na se ya bakonzi oyo baleki ngai, mpe ezali na basoda oyo bazali na se ya bokonzi na ngai. Soki nalobi na moko: « Kende, » akendaka; mpe na mosusu: « Yaka, » ayaka; bongo soki nalobi na mowumbu na ngai: « Sala mosala oyo, » asalaka yango.
For I am also a man placed under authority, having soldiers under me: and I say to this one, Go, and he goeth; and to another, Come, and he cometh; and to my servant, Do this, and he doeth it.
9 Tango Yesu ayokaki maloba oyo, akamwaki ye mingi; bongo abalukaki epai ya ebele ya bato oyo bazalaki kolanda Ye mpe alobaki: — Nazali koloba na bino penza ya solo: ezala kati na Isalaele, natikali nanu komona te kondima ya boye.
And Jesus, having heard these words, was astonished at him, and turning to the multitude following said, I say unto you, I did not find so great faith in Israel.
10 Tango bato oyo mokonzi ya basoda atindaki bazongaki na ndako, bakutaki mosali yango nzoto kolongono.
And those having been sent, returning to the house, found the servant well.
11 Sima na yango, Yesu akendeki na engumba moko na kombo Nayini; bayekoli na Ye elongo na ebele ya bato balandaki Ye.
And it came to pass consecutively, He departed into a city called Nain; and His many disciples and a great multitude went along with Him.
12 Wana akomaki pene ya ekuke ya engumba, akutanaki na bato bazali kokende kokunda mwana mobali moko oyo awutaki kokufa: azalaki mwana kaka moko ya mwasi moko akufisa mobali. Mpe bato mingi ya engumba yango bazalaki elongo na mwasi yango.
And when He drew nigh unto the gate of the city, behold, a dead man, an only born son to his mother, and she a widow, was indeed being carried out: and a great multitude of the city was along with her.
13 Tango kaka Nkolo amonaki mwasi yango, ayokelaki ye mawa mingi mpe alobaki na ye: — Kolela te!
And the Lord seeing her, was moved with compassion towards her, and said to her, Weep not.
14 Apusanaki mpe asimbaki tsipoyi oyo bazalaki komema na yango mwana oyo akufaki, mpe bato oyo bazalaki komema yango batelemaki. Yesu alobaki: — Elenge mobali, nalobi na yo, lamuka!
And having come forward He touched the bier: and the pall-bearers stood still: and He said, Young man, I say unto thee, Arise.
15 Moto oyo akufaki avandaki mpe abandaki koloba; mpe Yesu azongisaki ye epai ya mama na ye.
And the dead man sat up, and began to talk, and Ile gave him to his mother.
16 Bato nyonso batondaki na kobanga, bakomaki kokumisa Nzambe mpe koloba: — Mosakoli moko ya monene abimi kati na biso. Nzambe ayei kosunga bato na Ye!
And fear seized them all: and they continued to glorify God, saying that, A great prophet has arisen among us: and, God has looked upon His people.
17 Sango oyo na tina na Yesu epanzanaki kati na Yuda mpe kati na bamboka ya zingazinga.
And that word about Him went out in all Judea, and all the country round about.
18 Bayekoli ya Yoane bayebisaki makambo wana nyonso epai ya nkolo na bango. Yoane abengaki bayekoli na ye, mibale kati na bango,
And His disciples proclaimed to John concerning all these things.
19 mpe atindaki bango epai ya Nkolo Yesu mpo na kotuna: — Boni, ozali penza Ye oyo asengelaki koya to tosengeli kozela mosusu?
And John calling certain two of his disciples sent them to the Lord, saying, Art thou the one coming, or must we expect another?
20 Tango bakomaki epai ya Yesu, balobaki na Ye: — Yoane Mobatisi atindi biso epai na Yo mpo ete totuna: « Boni, ozali penza Ye oyo asengelaki koya to tosengeli kozela mosusu? »
And the men having come to Him, said; John the Baptist sent us to thee, saving; Art thou the one coming, or must we expect another?
21 Kaka na tango, Yesu abikisaki bato ebele na bokono, na pasi mpe na milimo mabe, mpe afungolaki miso ya bakufi miso ebele.
And at that hour He healed many of their diseases and ailments and evil spirits; and He conferred on many blind people the power to see.
22 Boye, Yesu azongiselaki bayekoli oyo Yoane atindaki: — Bokende koyebisa Yoane makambo oyo bomoni mpe oyo boyoki: bakufi miso bazali komona, bakufi matoyi bazali koyoka, ba-ebosono bazali kotambola, bato na maba bazali kopetolama, bakufi bazali kosekwa, mpe Sango Malamu ezali kosakolama epai ya babola.
And Jesus responding said to them, Having gone, proclaim to John those things which you saw and heard; that the blind are seeing, the lame are walking about, the lepers are being cleansed, the deaf are hearing, the dead are being raised up, the poor are having the gospel preached unto them;
23 Esengo na moto oyo akokweyisa kondima na ye te likolo na Ngai!
and happy is he whosoever may not be offended in me.
24 Tango bato oyo Yoane atindaki bazongaki, Yesu akomaki koloba na ebele ya bato na tina na Yoane: — Eloko nini bokendeki kotala kati na esobe? Mwa nzete oyo mopepe ezalaki koningisa epai na epai?
And the messengers of John having gone away, He began to speak to the multitudes concerning John, What went ye out into the wilderness to see? a reed shaken by the wind?
25 Soki te, bokendeki penza kotala nini? Moto moko alata bilamba ya kitoko? Te! Bato oyo balataka bilamba ya kitoko mpe bamisepelisaka kati na bozwi na bango bavandaka kati na bandako ya bakonzi.
But what went you out into the wilderness to see? a man clothed in soft raiment? Behold those who are in gaudy apparel and luxury, are in royal palaces.
26 Kasi nani bino bokendeki penza kotala? Mosakoli? Iyo, nazali koloba na bino, mpe aleki kutu ata mosakoli.
But what went you out to see? a prophet? Yea, and I say unto you even more than a prophet.
27 Yoane azali moto oyo Makomi ezali koloba boye na tina na ye: « Nakotinda ntoma na Ngai liboso na Yo, oyo akobongisela Yo nzela. »
This is he concerning whom it has been written, Behold, I send my messenger before thy face, who will prepare thy way before thee.
28 Nazali koloba na bino: kati na bato oyo babotama na mwasi, moko te aleki Yoane na monene; nzokande, ye oyo aleki moke kati na Bokonzi ya Nzambe aleki Yoane Mobatisi na monene.
I say unto you, among those having been born of women no prophet is greater than John the Baptist; nevertheless the least in the kingdom of God is greater than he.
29 Bato nyonso elongo na bafutisi mpako oyo bayokaki maloba na Yesu bandimaki ete nzela ya Nzambe ezali sembo, pamba te Yoane abatisaki bango
And all the people hearing and the publicans justified God, being baptized with the baptism of John.
30 Kasi Bafarizeo mpe balakisi ya Mobeko baboyaki mokano ya Nzambe mpo na bango, pamba te baboyaki ete Yoane abatisa bango.
But the Pharisees and theologians rejected the counsel of God, against themselves, not having been baptized by him.
31 Boye Yesu alobaki: — Na nani penza nakokokanisa bato ya ekeke oyo? Bakokani penza na banani?
Then to whom shall I liken the men of this generation, and to whom are they like?
32 Bakokani penza na bana mike oyo bavandi na esika oyo bato ebele bakutanaka mpe bazali koganga, bamoko na bamosusu: « Tobetaki baflite, kasi bobinaki te; toyembelaki bino banzembo ya matanga, kasi bolelaki te! »
They are like unto little children sitting in the market-place, and calling to one another, and saying, We piped unto you, and you did not dance; we mourned unto you, and you did not weep.
33 Pamba te, tango Yoane Mobatisi ayaki, azalaki kolia mapa te mpe azalaki komela vino te, mpe bolobaki: « Azali na molimo mabe kati na ye! »
For John the Baptist has come neither eating bread nor drinking wine; and you say, He has a demon.
34 Mwana na Moto ayaki, azali kolia, azali komela, mpe bozali koloba: « Azali na lokoso ya kolia mpe ya komela masanga, moninga ya bafutisi mpako mpe ya bato ya masumu! »
The Son of man has come eating and drinking, and you say, Behold, a gluttonous wine-drinking man, a friend of publicans and sinners.
35 Kasi bato nyonso oyo bayambaka Bwanya ya Nzambe batalisaka ete ezali sembo.
Truly wisdom is justified by her children.
36 Mofarizeo moko abengisaki Yesu mpo ete alia mesa moko elongo na ye. Yesu akendeki na ndako ya Mofarizeo yango mpe avandaki na mesa mpo na kolia.
And a certain one of the Pharisees, asked Him, that He would eat with him, and having come into the house of the Pharisee, He sat down to the table.
37 Nzokande, kati na engumba yango, ezalaki na mwasi moko oyo azalaki kobika bomoi ya masumu. Tango ayokaki ete Yesu azali kolia na ndako ya Mofarizeo, ayaki wana na molangi ya alibatre etonda na malasi,
Behold, a woman who was a sinner, in the city, also having learned that He is dining in the house of the Pharisee, breaking an alabaster box of myrrh,
38 atelemaki na sima ya Yesu, na makolo na Ye; azalaki kolela mpe, na mpinzoli na ye, akomaki kopolisa makolo ya Yesu. Bongo apangusaki makolo yango na nzela ya suki na ye, apesaki yango beze mpe asopelaki yango malasi.
and standing behind by His feet, weeping, began to moisten His feel with tears, and she wiped them with the hairs of her head, and she continued to copiously kiss His feet, and to anoint them with the myrrh.
39 Tango Mofarizeo oyo abengisaki Yesu amonaki bongo, amilobelaki: — Soki moto oyo azali mosakoli, alingaki koyeba soki mwasi oyo azali kosimba Ye azali nani, mpe soki azali mwasi ya lolenge nini: moto ya masumu.
And the Pharisee, having invited Him, seeing, spoke within himself, saying, If He were a prophet, He would know who and what kind the woman is, who touches Him, because she is a sinner.
40 Yesu alobaki na ye: — Simona, nazali na likambo ya koyebisa yo. Mofarizeo azongisaki: — Moteyi, loba yango.
And Jesus responding said to him, Simon, I have something to say to thee. And he says, Speak, Teacher.
41 Yesu alobaki: — Moto moko adefisaki bato mibale mbongo. Moto ya liboso asengelaki kozongisa mbongo ya bibende nkama mitano, mpe oyo ya mibale, mbongo ya bibende tuku mitano.
There were two debtors to a certain creditor: the one owed him five hundred denaria, and the other fifty.
42 Kasi lokola, kati na bango mibale, moko te azalaki na mbongo ya kozongisa, modefisi alimbisaki bango mpo ete bafuta lisusu niongo yango te. Na makanisi na yo, nani kati na bango mibale akolinga modefisi koleka?
And they not being able to pay, he forgave them both. Then which one of them will love him the more?
43 Simona azongisaki: — Nakanisi ete ezali moto oyo balimbisi niongo ya mbongo oyo eleki ebele. Yesu alobaki na ye: — Okati malamu!
Simon responding said, I perceive, that he, to whom he forgave the more. And He said to him, You answered correctly.
44 Bongo abalukaki epai ya mwasi, mpe alobaki na Simona: — Omoni mwasi oyo? Tango nakotaki na ndako na yo, opesaki Ngai mayi te ya kosukola makolo na Ngai; kasi ye, apolisi yango na mpinzoli na ye mpe apangusi yango na nzela ya suki na ye.
And turning to the woman He said to Simon, Do you see this woman? I came into thy house, thou gavest me no water for my feet: but she washed my feet with tears, and wiped them with her hairs.
45 Opesaki Ngai beze te; kasi ye, banda nakotaki awa, atiki te kopesa makolo na Ngai beze.
Thou gavest me no kiss: she, from the time I came in, did not cease copiously kissing my feet.
46 Opakolaki Ngai mafuta te na moto; kasi ye, asopeli makolo na Ngai malasi.
Thou didst not anoint my head with oil: but she anointed my feet with myrrh.
47 Yango wana, nazali koloba na yo: ebele ya masumu na ye elimbisami, lokola atalisi bolingo monene. Kasi moto oyo balimbisaki niongo moke azali kotalisa bolingo moke.
Therefore I say unto thee, her sins, which are many, are forgiven; for she loved much: but he to whom little is forgiven, loveth little.
48 Bongo Yesu alobaki na mwasi: — Masumu na yo elimbisami.
And He said to her; Thy sins are forgiven.
49 Bato mosusu oyo babengamaki elongo na Ye bakomaki koloba, bango na bango: — Moto oyo azali penza nani, oyo akomi ata kolimbisa masumu?
And those sitting along with Him began to say among themselves, Who is this who even forgives sins?
50 Kasi Yesu alobaki na mwasi yango: — Kondima na yo ebikisi yo; kende na kimia!
And He said to the woman, Thy faith hath saved them; go in peace.
