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;
Jesus, having convened the twelve, gave them power and authority over all the demons, and to cure diseases;
2 mpe atindaki bango kosakola Bokonzi ya Nzambe mpe kobikisa babeli.
and sent them to proclaim the Reign 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, Provide nothing for your journey; nor staves, nor bag, nor bread, nor silver, nor two coats apiece;
4 Na ndako nyonso oyo bokokota, bovanda kuna kino bokolongwa na engumba.
and continue in whatever house you are received into, till you leave the place.
5 Soki bato baboyi koyamba bino, botika engumba na bango mpe bopupola putulu ya makolo na bino lokola litatoli mpo na kotelemela bango.
And wheresoever they will not receive you, shake even the dust off your feet, as a protestation against them.
6 Bayekoli bakendeki, batambolaki na mboka moko na moko mpe bazalaki kosakola Sango Malamu mpe kobikisa babeli na bisika nyonso.
They accordingly departed, and traveled through the villages, publishing the good tidings, and performing cures everywhere.
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, having heard of all that Jesus had done, was perplexed; because some said, John is risen from the dead;
8 bamosusu: « Eliya abimi, » mpe bamosusu lisusu: « Moko kati na basakoli ya kala asekwi. »
and some, Elijah has appeared; and others, One of the ancient prophets is 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 beheaded; but who is this, of whom I hear such things? And he was desirous 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.
Now, the Apostles having returned, reported to Jesus all that they had done: and he, taking them with him, retired privately to a desert belonging to the city of 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.
But the multitude, having known it, followed him; and he, receiving them, spoke to them concerning the Reign of God; and he healed those 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.
When the day began to decline, the twelve, accosting him, said, Dismiss the people, that they may go to the nearest towns and villages, and provide themselves lodging and food; for we are in a desert.
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.
He answered, Supply them yourselves with food. They replied, We have only five loaves and two fishes; unless we go and buy victuals for all this people.
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.
For they were about five thousand men. Then he said to his disciples, Make them recline in parties; fifty in a party.
15 Bayekoli basalaki bongo, mpe bato nyonso avandaki.
And they did so, making them all recline.
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.
Then he took the five loaves and the two fishes; and looking up to heaven, he blessed and broke them, and gave them to his disciples, to set before the multitudes.
17 Bato nyonso baliaki mpe batondaki; bayekoli balokotaki biteni oyo etikalaki, mpe biteni yango etondisaki bitunga zomi na mibale.
And they all did eat and were satisfied; and took up twelve baskets full of fragments.
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?
Afterward, Jesus having withdrawn from the multitude to pray, apart with his disciples, asked them, saying, Who do 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.
They answered, John the Immerser; others say, Elijah; and others, that one of the ancient prophets is risen again.
20 Yesu atunaki bango lisusu: — Bongo bino, bolobaka ete Ngai nazali nani? Petelo azongisaki: — Ozali Masiya oyo Nzambe atindi.
He said to them, But who do you say that I am? Peter answered, The Messiah of God.
21 Yesu apesaki bango mitindo ete bameka koloba bongo te ata na moto moko.
Then, having strictly charged them, he prohibited them from telling this to any person;
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.
adding, The Son of Man must suffer many things, and be rejected by the elders and chief priests, and scribes, and be killed, and rise again the third day.
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.
Moreover, he said to all the people, If any man will come under my guidance, let him renounce himself, and take 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 would save his life, shall lose it; and whosoever will 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?
What will it profit a man to gain the whole world, with the forfeit or ruin of 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 whosoever shall be ashamed of me, and of my words, of him will the Son of Man be ashamed, when he shall come in his own glory, and in that of the 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.
I assure you, that there are some standing here, who shall not taste death till they see the Reign 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.
About eight days after this discourse, he took with him Peter, and John, and James, and went up on a mountain to pray.
29 Wana azalaki kosambela, elongi na Ye ebongwanaki, mpe bilamba na Ye ekomaki kongenga makasi lokola pole ya mikalikali.
While he prayed, the appearance of his countenance was changed, and his raiment contracted a dazzling whiteness.
30 Mibali mibale bazalaki kosolola na Yesu: Moyize mpe Eliya
And, behold, two men of a glorious aspect, Moses and Elijah,
31 oyo babimaki kati na kongenga ya nkembo; bazalaki kolobela na tina na bozongi na Ye, oyo asengeli kokokisa na Yelusalemi.
conversed with him, and spoke of the departure which he was to accomplish at 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.
Now, Peter, and those that were with him, were overpowered with sleep; but when they awoke, they saw his glory, and the two men who stood with them.
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.
As these were removing from Jesus, Peter said to him, not knowing what he said, Master, it is good for us to stay here; let us, then, make three booths, one for you, one for Moses, and one for Elijah.
34 Wana azalaki nanu koloba bongo, lipata moko ebimaki mpe ezipaki bango. Somo ekangaki bayekoli, wana bakotaki kati na lipata yango.
While he was speaking, a cloud came and covered them, and the disciples feared, when they entered the cloud.
35 Mongongo moko eyokanaki wuta kati na lipata yango, elobaki: — Oyo azali Mwana na Ngai, oyo napona; boyoka Ye!
From the cloud a voice came, which said, This is my Son, the beloved; 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.
While the voice was uttered, Jesus was found alone. And they kept secret, telling no person, in those days, anything of what they had seen.
37 Mokolo oyo elandaki, tango bakitaki na ngomba, ebele ya bato bayaki kokutana na Yesu.
The next day, when they were come down from the mountain, a great multitude met him.
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 one of the crowd cried out, saying, Rabbi, I beseech you, take pity on my son; for he is my only child.
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 seizes him, making him instantly cry out, and fall into convulsions, so that he foams; and after he is much bruised, hardly leaves him.
40 Nasengaki na bayekoli na Yo ete babengana molimo yango, kasi balongaki te.
And I besought your disciples to expel the demon; but they were not able.
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.
Then, Jesus answering, said, O incredulous and perverse generation! how long shall I be with you, and suffer you? Bring your son hither.
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, the demon dashed him down in convulsions. And Jesus rebuked the unclean spirit, and having cured the child, delivered him to his father.
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 they were all amazed at the great power of God. While all were admiring everything which Jesus did, he said to his disciples,
44 — Boyoka na bokebi makambo oyo nazali koyebisa bino: Bazali kokaba Mwana na Moto na maboko ya bato.
Mark diligently these words, the Son of Man is to 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 language; it was vailed to them, that they might not apprehend it; and they were afraid to ask him concerning it.
46 Tembe moko ebimaki kati na bayekoli; bazalaki koluka koyeba moto oyo aleki monene kati na bango.
And there arose a debate among them, which of them should be the greatest.
47 Kasi lokola Yesu ayebaki makanisi na bango, akamataki mwana moke, atiaki ye pembeni na Ye,
But Jesus, who perceived the thought of their heart, took a child, and placing him near himself,
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.
said to them, Whosoever shall receive this child for my sake, receives me; and whosoever shall receive me, receives him who sent me: for he who is the least amongst you all, this person shall be great.
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.
Then John replied, Master, we saw one expelling demons in your name, and we forbade him, because he consorts not with us.
50 Yesu alobaki: — Bopekisa ye te, pamba te moto nyonso oyo atelemelaka bino te azali mpo na bino.
Jesus answered, Forbid not such; for whosoever is not against us, is for us.
51 Lokola tango oyo Yesu asengeli komemama na Likolo ekomaki pene, Yesu azwaki mokano ya kokende na Yelusalemi.
Now, as the time of his departure approached, he set out resolutely for 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 sent messengers before, who went into a village of the Samaritans to make preparation for him.
53 Kasi bato ya Samari baboyaki koyamba Ye, mpo ete azalaki kokende na Yelusalemi.
But they would not admit him; because they perceived he was 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?
His disciples, James and John, observing this, said, Master, shall we call down fire from heaven to consume them, as Elijah did?
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.]
But he turned and rebuked them, saying, Do you not know of what spirit you are?
56 Bongo Yesu elongo na bayekoli na Ye bakendeki na mboka mosusu.
And they went to another village.
57 Wana bazalaki kotambola na nzela, mobali moko alobaki na Yesu: — Nakolanda Yo na esika nyonso oyo okokende.
As they were on the way, one said to him, Master, I will follow you whithersoever you go.
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 answered, The foxes have holes, and the birds of the air have places of shelter; but the Son of Man has not where to repose 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.
He said to another, Follow me. He answered, Sir, permit me first to go and bury my father.
60 Yesu alobaki na ye: — Tika bakufi bakunda bakufi na bango; kasi yo, kende kosakola Bokonzi ya Nzambe.
Jesus replied, Let the dead bury their dead; but go you and publish the Reign 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.
Another, likewise, said, I will follow you, Sir; but first permit me to take leave of my family.
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 answered, No man, having put his hand to the plow, looks behind him, is fit for the kingdom of God.
