Luka 9
1 Yesu abengaki bayekoli na Ye zomi na mibale, apesaki bango nguya mpe bokonzi ya kobengana milimo nyonso ya mabe mpe ya kobikisa bokono;
Then calling together the twelve apostles, he gave them power and authority over all devils, and to cure diseases.
2 mpe atindaki bango kosakola Bokonzi ya Nzambe mpe kobikisa babeli.
And he sent them to preach the kingdom of God, and to heal the sick.
3 Alobaki na bango: — Bomema eloko moko te mpo na mobembo, ezala lingenda, sakosi, eloko ya kolia to mbongo; bozala na banzambala mibale te na moto.
And he said to them: Take nothing for your journey; neither staff, nor scrip, nor bread, nor money; neither have two coats.
4 Na ndako nyonso oyo bokokota, bovanda kuna kino bokolongwa na engumba.
And whatsoever house you shall enter into, abide there, and depart not from thence.
5 Soki bato baboyi koyamba bino, botika engumba na bango mpe bopupola putulu ya makolo na bino lokola litatoli mpo na kotelemela bango.
And whosoever will not receive you, when ye go out of that city, shake off even the dust of your feet, for a testimony against them.
6 Bayekoli bakendeki, batambolaki na mboka moko na moko mpe bazalaki kosakola Sango Malamu mpe kobikisa babeli na bisika nyonso.
And going out, they went about through the towns, preaching the gospel, and healing every where.
7 Erode, moyangeli ya etuka, ayokaki sango ya makambo nyonso oyo ezalaki koleka; amitungisaki makasi, pamba te bamoko bazalaki koloba: « Yoane asekwi, »
Now Herod, the tetrarch, heard of all things that were done by him; and he was in a doubt, because it was said
8 bamosusu: « Eliya abimi, » mpe bamosusu lisusu: « Moko kati na basakoli ya kala asekwi. »
By some, that John was risen from the dead: but by other some, that Elias had appeared; and by others, that one of the old prophets was risen again.
9 Kasi Erode azalaki komilobela: « Ngai nde nakataki Yoane moto; bongo moto oyo nazali koyoka makambo minene boye na tina na ye, azali penza nani? » Boye alukaki kokutana na Yesu.
And Herod said: John I have beheaded; but who is this of whom I hear such things? And he sought to see him.
10 Tango bantoma bazongaki, bayebisaki Yesu makambo oyo basalaki. Bongo Yesu amemaki bango elongo na Ye, mpe bakendeki na engumba Betisaida, na esika oyo bazalaki kaka bango moko.
And the apostles, when they were returned, told him all they had done. And taking them, he went aside into a desert place, apart, which belongeth to Bethsaida.
11 Kasi tango ebele ya bato bayokaki bongo, balandaki Ye. Yesu ayambaki bango, ateyaki bango na tina na Bokonzi ya Nzambe, abikisaki mpe bato oyo bazalaki na posa ya lobiko na bokono ya nzoto.
Which when the people knew, they followed him; and he received them, and spoke to them of the kingdom of God, and healed them who had need of healing.
12 Awa ekomaki pokwa, bantoma zomi na mibale bapusanaki pene ya Yesu mpe balobaki na Ye: — Zongisa bato oyo mpo ete bakende komilukela bilei mpe bisika ya kolala, kati na bamboka mpe bilanga ya zingazinga, pamba te tozali awa kati na esika ebombama.
Now the day began to decline. And the twelve came and said to him: Send away the multitude, that going into the towns and villages round about, they may lodge and get victuals; for we are here in a desert place.
13 Kasi Yesu alobaki na bango: — Bopesa bango bino moko biloko ya kolia. Bazongisaki: — Tozali kaka na mapa mitano mpe bambisi mibale; loba nde tokende kosomba bilei mpo na ebele ya bato oyo nyonso.
But he said to them: Give you them to eat. And they said: We have no more than five loaves and two fishes; unless perhaps we should go and buy food for all this multitude.
14 Ezalaki wana na mibali pene nkoto mitano. Yesu alobaki na bayekoli na Ye: — Bovandisa bango na masanga; tika ete lisanga moko na moko ezala na bato tuku mitano.
Now there were about five thousand men. And he said to his disciples: Make them sit down by fifties in a company.
15 Bayekoli basalaki bongo, mpe bato nyonso avandaki.
And they did so; and made them all sit down.
16 Yesu akamataki mapa yango mitano mpe bambisi yango mibale, azongisaki matondi epai ya Nzambe mpe akataki mapa yango; bongo apesaki biteni na yango epai ya bayekoli mpo ete bakabola yango epai ya bato.
And taking the five loaves and the two fishes, he looked up to heaven, and blessed them; and he broke, and distributed to his disciples, to set before the multitude.
17 Bato nyonso baliaki mpe batondaki; bayekoli balokotaki biteni oyo etikalaki, mpe biteni yango etondisaki bitunga zomi na mibale.
And they did all eat, and were filled. And there were taken up of fragments that remained to them, twelve baskets.
18 Mokolo moko, wana Yesu azalaki kosambela na pembeni, mpe bayekoli na Ye bazalaki elongo na Ye, atunaki bango: — Bato bazali koloba nini na tina na Ngai? Mpo na bango, Ngai nazali nani?
And it came to pass, as he was alone praying, his disciples also were with him: and he asked them, saying: Whom do the people say that I am?
19 Bazongisaki: — Bamoko bazali koloba ete ozali Yoane Mobatisi; bamosusu, Eliya; mpe bamosusu lisusu, moko kati na basakoli ya kala oyo asili kosekwa.
But they answered, and said: John the Baptist; but some say Elias; and others say that one of the former prophets is risen again.
20 Yesu atunaki bango lisusu: — Bongo bino, bolobaka ete Ngai nazali nani? Petelo azongisaki: — Ozali Masiya oyo Nzambe atindi.
And he said to them: But whom do you say that I am? Simon Peter answering, said: The Christ of God.
21 Yesu apesaki bango mitindo ete bameka koloba bongo te ata na moto moko.
But he strictly charging them, commanded they should tell this to no man.
22 Mpe alobaki: — Mwana na Moto asengeli komona pasi mingi; bakambi ya bato, bakonzi ya Banganga-Nzambe mpe balakisi ya Mobeko basengeli koboya Ye. Basengeli koboma Ye, mpe asengeli kosekwa na mokolo ya misato.
Saying: The Son of man must suffer many things, and be rejected by the ancients and chief priests and scribes, and be killed, and the third day rise again.
23 Bongo Yesu alobaki na bango nyonso: — Moto nyonso oyo alingi kolanda Ngai asengeli komiboya, kokamata ekulusu na ye mokolo na mokolo mpe kolanda Ngai.
And he said to all: If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow me.
24 Pamba te, moto nyonso oyo akolinga kobikisa bomoi na ye akobungisa yango, kasi moto nyonso oyo akobungisa bomoi na ye mpo na Ngai akobikisa yango.
For whosoever will save his life, shall lose it; for he that shall lose his life for my sake, shall save it.
25 Litomba nini ezali mpo na moto, soki azwi mokili mobimba, kasi amibungisi to abebisi bomoi na ye?
For what is a man advantaged, if he gain the whole world, and lose himself, and cast away himself?
26 Moto nyonso oyo akoyoka Ngai mpe maloba na Ngai soni, Mwana na Moto akoyoka ye soni, tango akoya kati na nkembo na Ye mpe kati na nkembo ya Tata mpe ya ba-anjelu ya bule.
For he that shall be ashamed of me and of my words, of him the Son of man shall be ashamed, when he shall come in his majesty, and that of his Father, and of the holy angels.
27 Nazali koloba na bino penza ya solo: kati na bato oyo bazali awa, ezali na ba-oyo bakokufa te kino bakomona bokonzi ya Nzambe.
But I tell you of a truth: There are some standing here that shall not taste death, till they see the kingdom of God.
28 Mikolo pene mwambe sima na Yesu koloba bongo, azwaki elongo na Ye, Petelo, Yoane mpe Jake, mpe amataki na ngomba mpo na kokende kosambela.
And it came to pass about eight days after these words, that he took Peter, and James, and John, and went up into a mountain to pray.
29 Wana azalaki kosambela, elongi na Ye ebongwanaki, mpe bilamba na Ye ekomaki kongenga makasi lokola pole ya mikalikali.
And whilst he prayed, the shape of his countenance was altered, and his raiment became white and glittering.
30 Mibali mibale bazalaki kosolola na Yesu: Moyize mpe Eliya
And behold two men were talking with him. And they were Moses and Elias,
31 oyo babimaki kati na kongenga ya nkembo; bazalaki kolobela na tina na bozongi na Ye, oyo asengeli kokokisa na Yelusalemi.
Appearing in majesty. And they spoke of his decease that he should accomplish in Jerusalem.
32 Petelo mpe baninga na ye balalaki pongi makasi. Tango kaka balamukaki na pongi, bamonaki nkembo ya Yesu elongo na mibali wana mibale bazali ya kotelema elongo na Ye.
But Peter and they that were with him were heavy with sleep. And waking, they saw his glory, and the two men that stood with him.
33 Wana mibali yango bazalaki kokabwana na Yesu, Petelo alobaki: — Moteyi, eleki malamu mpo na biso kozala awa! Totonga bandako misato ya kapo: moko mpo na Yo, moko mpo na Moyize, mpe moko mpo na Eliya. Solo, Petelo ayebaki te makambo oyo azalaki koloba.
And it came to pass, that as they were departing from him, Peter saith to Jesus: Master, it is good for us to be here; and let us make three tabernacles, one for thee, and one for Moses, and one for Elias; not knowing what he said.
34 Wana azalaki nanu koloba bongo, lipata moko ebimaki mpe ezipaki bango. Somo ekangaki bayekoli, wana bakotaki kati na lipata yango.
And as he spoke these things, there came a cloud, and overshadowed them; and they were afraid, when they entered into the cloud.
35 Mongongo moko eyokanaki wuta kati na lipata yango, elobaki: — Oyo azali Mwana na Ngai, oyo napona; boyoka Ye!
And a voice came out of the cloud, saying: This is my beloved Son; hear him.
36 Sima na mongongo yango koloba, bamonaki ete Yesu azali Ye moko. Bayekoli babombaki likambo yango mpo na bango moko mpe, na mikolo wana, bayebisaki ata na moto moko te makambo oyo bamonaki.
And whilst the voice was uttered, Jesus was found alone. And they held their peace, and told no man in those days any of these things which they had seen.
37 Mokolo oyo elandaki, tango bakitaki na ngomba, ebele ya bato bayaki kokutana na Yesu.
And it came to pass the day following, when they came down from the mountain, there met him a great multitude.
38 Mobali moko kati na ebele yango ya bato agangaki: — Moteyi, nazali kosenga na Yo ete otala mwana na ngai ya mobali, pamba te nazali kaka na mwana moko!
And behold a man among the crowd cried out, saying: Master, I beseech thee, look upon my son, because he is my only one.
39 Molimo moko etungisaka ye: soki ekangi ye, mwana akoganga na mbala moko, ekoningisa ye makasi kino kokweyisa ye na mabele; mwana akokangama mpe akobimisa fulufulu na monoko. Etikaka ye na pasi sima na kozokisa ye.
And lo, a spirit seizeth him, and he suddenly crieth out, and he throweth him down and teareth him, so that he foameth; and bruising him, he hardly departeth from him.
40 Nasengaki na bayekoli na Yo ete babengana molimo yango, kasi balongaki te.
And I desired thy disciples to cast him out, and they could not.
41 Yesu alobaki: — Bino, ekeke ya bato mabe mpe bazanga kondima, tango boni nasengeli lisusu kovanda elongo na bino mpe koyikela bino mpiko? Mema mwana na yo awa.
And Jesus answering, said: O faithless and perverse generation, how long shall I be with you, and suffer you? Bring hither thy son.
42 Wana mwana azalaki kopusana, molimo mabe ebwakaki ye na mabele mpe ebandaki koningisa ye makasi. Kasi Yesu apesaki mitindo na molimo mabe yango ete ebima kati na mwana, abikisaki mwana na pasi na ye mpe azongisaki ye na maboko ya tata na ye.
And as he was coming to him, the devil threw him down, and tore him.
43 Mpe bato nyonso bakamwaki mingi monene ya Nzambe. Wana bato nyonso bazalaki kokamwa makambo nyonso oyo Yesu asalaki, alobaki na bayekoli na Ye:
And Jesus rebuked the unclean spirit, and cured the boy, and restored him to his father.
44 — Boyoka na bokebi makambo oyo nazali koyebisa bino: Bazali kokaba Mwana na Moto na maboko ya bato.
And all were astonished at the mighty power of God. But while all wondered at all the things he did, he said to his disciples: Lay you up in your hearts these words, for it shall come to pass, that the Son of man shall be delivered into the hands of men.
45 Kasi bayekoli basosolaki te makambo yango; ndimbola na yango ezalaki ya kobombama mpo na bango, mpo ete basosola te tina na yango, mpe bazalaki kobanga kopesa Yesu mituna na tina na yango.
But they understood not this word; and it was hid from them, so that they perceived it not. And they were afraid to ask him concerning this word.
46 Tembe moko ebimaki kati na bayekoli; bazalaki koluka koyeba moto oyo aleki monene kati na bango.
And there entered a thought into them, which of them should be greater.
47 Kasi lokola Yesu ayebaki makanisi na bango, akamataki mwana moke, atiaki ye pembeni na Ye,
But Jesus seeing the thoughts of their heart, took a child and set him by him,
48 mpe alobaki na bango: — Moto nyonso oyo ayambi mwana oyo ya moke na Kombo na Ngai, ayambi nde Ngai moko; mpe moto nyonso oyo ayambi Ngai ayambi nde Motindi na Ngai. Pamba te, ezali ye oyo aleki moke kati na bino nyonso nde aleki monene.
And said to them: Whosoever shall receive this child in my name, receiveth me; and whosoever shall receive me, receiveth him that sent me. For he that is the lesser among you all, he is the greater.
49 Yoane alobaki: — Moteyi, tomonaki moto moko kobengana milimo mabe na Kombo na Yo, mpe tomekaki kopekisa ye, pamba te azali moto ya lisanga na biso te.
And John, answering, said: Master, we saw a certain man casting out devils in thy name, and we forbade him, because he followeth not with us.
50 Yesu alobaki: — Bopekisa ye te, pamba te moto nyonso oyo atelemelaka bino te azali mpo na bino.
And Jesus said to him: Forbid him not; for he that is not against you, is for you.
51 Lokola tango oyo Yesu asengeli komemama na Likolo ekomaki pene, Yesu azwaki mokano ya kokende na Yelusalemi.
And it came to pass, when the days of his assumption were accomplishing, that he steadfastly set his face to go to Jerusalem.
52 Atindaki bantoma liboso na Ye; boye wana bazalaki kokende, bakotaki na mboka moko ya bato ya Samari mpo na kobongisela Ye biloko.
And he sent messengers before his face; and going, they entered into a city of the Samaritans, to prepare for him.
53 Kasi bato ya Samari baboyaki koyamba Ye, mpo ete azalaki kokende na Yelusalemi.
And they received him not, because his face was of one going to Jerusalem.
54 Tango bayekoli, Jake mpe Yoane, bamonaki bongo, balobaki: — Nkolo, olingi ete tobelela moto ete ekitela bango kowuta na likolo mpo na kobebisa bango?
And when his disciples James and John had seen this, they said: Lord, wilt thou that we command fire to come down from heaven, and consume them?
55 Yesu abalukaki mpo na kotala bango malamu mpe apamelaki bango: [— Boni, boyebi molimo oyo ezali kotindika bino na makanisi ya boye? Mwana na Moto ayaki te mpo na koboma bato, kasi mpo na kobikisa bango.]
And turning, he rebuked them, saying: You know not of what spirit you are.
56 Bongo Yesu elongo na bayekoli na Ye bakendeki na mboka mosusu.
The Son of man came not to destroy souls, but to save. And they went into another town.
57 Wana bazalaki kotambola na nzela, mobali moko alobaki na Yesu: — Nakolanda Yo na esika nyonso oyo okokende.
And it came to pass, as they walked in the way, that a certain man said to him: I will follow thee withersoever thou goest.
58 Yesu azongiselaki ye: — Bambwa ya zamba ezalaka na madusu na yango na se ya mabele mpo na kobombama, mpe bandeke ya likolo ezalaka na bazala na yango; kasi Mwana na Moto azangi esika ya kolala mpo na kopema.
Jesus said to him: The foxes have holes, and the birds of the air nests; but the Son of man hath not where to lay his head.
59 Yesu alobaki na mobali mosusu: — Landa Ngai. Kasi mobali yango azongiselaki Ye: — Nkolo, pesa ngai nzela ya kokende nanu kokunda tata na ngai.
But he said to another: Follow me. And he said: Lord, suffer me first to go, and to bury my father.
60 Yesu alobaki na ye: — Tika bakufi bakunda bakufi na bango; kasi yo, kende kosakola Bokonzi ya Nzambe.
And Jesus said to him: Let the dead bury their dead: but go thou, and preach the kingdom of God.
61 Mosusu lisusu alobaki na Ye: — Nkolo, nakolanda Yo; kasi pesa ngai nzela ya kozonga nanu mpo na kokende kopesa libota na ngai mbote ya suka.
And another said: I will follow thee, Lord; but let me first take my leave of them that are at my house.
62 Yesu azongiselaki ye: — Moto oyo asimbi kongo mpo na kobalola mabele ya bilanga, kasi azali kotala na sima, azali na tina moko te mpo na Bokonzi ya Nzambe.
Jesus said to him: No man putting his hand to the plough, and looking back, is fit for the kingdom of God.
