Luka 7
1 Sima na Yesu koloba makambo oyo nyonso epai ya bato, akotaki na Kapernawumi.
And when he had finished all these discourses in the audience of the people, Jesus entered 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 centurion, who was dear to him, was very sick, and near to death.
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 he heard of Jesus, and sent the Elders of the Jews to him, and requested of him that he would come and save the life of 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 when they came to Jesus, they entreated him earnestly, and said: He is worthy that thou shouldst do this for him;
5 pamba te alingaka ekolo na biso, mpe ye nde atongaki ndako na biso ya mayangani.
for he loveth our nation, and hath also built us a house of assembly.
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 with them. And when he was not far from the house, the centurion sent his friends to him, and said to him: My Lord, trouble not thyself, for I am not worthy that thou shouldst come 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 deemed myself not worthy to approach thee myself; but speak the word only, and my young man will 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 also am a man subjected to authority; and I have soldiers under my command; 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 when Jesus heard these things, he admired him; and he turned, and said to the throng that followed him: I say to you, I have not found faith like this even in Israel.
10 Tango bato oyo mokonzi ya basoda atindaki bazongaki na ndako, bakutaki mosali yango nzoto kolongono.
And they that were sent, returned to the house; and they found the servant that had been sick, now well.
11 Sima na yango, Yesu akendeki na engumba moko na kombo Nayini; bayekoli na Ye elongo na ebele ya bato balandaki Ye.
And the following day, he went to a city called Nain; and his disciples were with him, and a great multitude.
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 as he approached the gate of the city, he saw a procession bearing a dead man, the only son of his mother, and she a widow; and a great company of the people of the city were with her.
13 Tango kaka Nkolo amonaki mwasi yango, ayokelaki ye mawa mingi mpe alobaki na ye: — Kolela te!
And Jesus looked upon her, and had compassion on her; and he 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 he went, and touched the bier; and they that bore him stood still. And he said: Young man, I say to 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 speak: and he delivered 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 awe seized all the people; and they glorified God, and said: A great prophet hath arisen among us, and God hath visited his people.
17 Sango oyo na tina na Yesu epanzanaki kati na Yuda mpe kati na bamboka ya zingazinga.
And that saying respecting him went out through all Judaea and all the surrounding region.
18 Bayekoli ya Yoane bayebisaki makambo wana nyonso epai ya nkolo na bango. Yoane abengaki bayekoli na ye, mibale kati na bango,
And the disciples of John told him 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 called two of his disciples, and sent them to Jesus, and said: Art thou he that cometh, or shall we look for 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 they came to Jesus, and said to him: John the Baptizer hath sent us to thee, and saith: Art thou he that cometh, or shall we look for 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 in that hour he healed many persons of their diseases, and of plagues, and of unclean spirits, and gave sight to many blind persons.
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 replied, and said to them: Go ye, and tell John all that ye have seen and heard; that the blind see, and the lame walk, and the leprous are cleansed, and the deaf hear, and the dead arise, and to the poor good news is proclaimed:
23 Esengo na moto oyo akokweyisa kondima na ye te likolo na Ngai!
and blessed is he that is not stumbled 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 when John's disciples were gone, Jesus began to say to the multitude, concerning John: What went ye into the wilderness to see? a reed agitated 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.
Or if not; what went ye out to see? a man clad in soft raiment? Lo, they that use splendid garments and luxuries, are in kings' palaces.
26 Kasi nani bino bokendeki penza kotala? Mosakoli? Iyo, nazali koloba na bino, mpe aleki kutu ata mosakoli.
Or if not; what went ye out to see? a prophet? Yea, say I to you; and 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. »
For this is he, of whom it is written: Behold I send my messenger before thy face, to 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 to you, that no prophet, among those born of women, was greater than John the Baptizer: and yet the little one 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 that heard him, justified God, as they had been baptized with John's baptism.
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 Scribes rejected the good pleasure of God, against themselves; as they were not baptized by him.
31 Boye Yesu alobaki: — Na nani penza nakokokanisa bato ya ekeke oyo? Bakokani penza na banani?
To what, therefore, shall I compare this generation? and to what 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 children, that sit in the market-place, and call to their fellows and say: We have piped to you, and ye did not dance; we have howled to you, and ye 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 Baptizer came, not eating bread, and not drinking wine; and ye say: He hath 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 came, eating and drinking; and ye say: Behold, a gluttonous man, and a wine drinker, and one fond of publicans and sinners.
35 Kasi bato nyonso oyo bayambaka Bwanya ya Nzambe batalisaka ete ezali sembo.
But wisdom is justified by all 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 one of the Pharisees came, and asked him to eat with him. And he entered the house of the Pharisee, and reclined.
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,
And there was a woman in the city, who was a sinner; and when she learned that he reclined in the Pharisee's house, she took an alabaster box of perfume,
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 stood behind him, at his feet, and wept; and she began to bathe his feet with her tears, and to wipe them with the hair of her head; and she kissed his feet, and anointed them with the perfume.
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 when the Pharisee that invited him, saw it, he thought within himself, and said: If this man were a prophet, he would know who she is, and what is her reputation; for the woman that toucheth him, is a sinner.
40 Yesu alobaki na ye: — Simona, nazali na likambo ya koyebisa yo. Mofarizeo azongisaki: — Moteyi, loba yango.
And Jesus answered, and said to him: Simon, I have something to say to thee. He said to him: Say it, Rabbi. Jesus said to him:
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 denarii, and the other fifty denarii.
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 as they had not the means of pay, he released them both. Which of them, therefore will love him most?
43 Simona azongisaki: — Nakanisi ete ezali moto oyo balimbisi niongo ya mbongo oyo eleki ebele. Yesu alobaki na ye: — Okati malamu!
Simon replied, and said: I suppose he to whom most was released. Jesus said to him: Thou hast judged 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 he turned to the woman, and said to Simon: Seest thou this woman? I entered thy house, and thou gavest me no water for my feet; but she hath bathed my feet with her tears, and wiped them with her hair.
45 Opesaki Ngai beze te; kasi ye, banda nakotaki awa, atiki te kopesa makolo na Ngai beze.
Thou gavest me no kiss; but this woman, since she came in, hath not ceased to kiss my feet.
46 Opakolaki Ngai mafuta te na moto; kasi ye, asopeli makolo na Ngai malasi.
Thou didst not anoint my head with perfume; but she hath anointed my feet with perfumed ointment.
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.
I therefore say to thee: Her many sins are forgiven her, for she loveth much. But he, to whom little is forgiven, loveth little.
48 Bongo Yesu alobaki na mwasi: — Masumu na yo elimbisami.
And he said to the woman: Thy sins are forgiven thee.
49 Bato mosusu oyo babengamaki elongo na Ye bakomaki koloba, bango na bango: — Moto oyo azali penza nani, oyo akomi ata kolimbisa masumu?
And they that were reclining, began to say in themselves: Who is this, that even forgiveth sins?
50 Kasi Yesu alobaki na mwasi yango: — Kondima na yo ebikisi yo; kende na kimia!
And Jesus said to the woman: Thy faith hath given thee life. Go, in peace.
