Malako 11
1 Wana bazalaki kopusana pene ya Yelusalemi, bakomaki na Betifaje mpe Betani oyo ezalaki pene ya ngomba ya banzete ya olive, Yesu atindaki bayekoli na Ye mibale,
When they came near to Jerusalem, to Bethsphage and Bethany, at the Mount of Olives, he sent two of his disciples
2 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.
and said to them, “Go your way into the village that is opposite you. Immediately as you enter into it, you will find a young donkey tied, on which no one has sat. Untie him and bring him.
3 Soki moto moko atuni bino: « Mpo na nini bozali kofungola yango? » Bozongisela ye: « Nkolo azali na bosenga na yango. » Mpe na mbala moko, akotinda yango awa.
If anyone asks you, ‘Why are you doing this?’ say, ‘The Lord needs him;’ and immediately he will send him back here.”
4 Bakendeki mpe bakutaki mwana ya ane ekangama na libanda, pembeni ya ekuke; mpe bafungolaki yango.
They went away, and found a young donkey tied at the door outside in the open street, and they untied him.
5 Ndambo ya bato oyo bazalaki wana batunaki: — Nini ezwi bino mpo ete bofungola mwana oyo ya ane?
Some of those who stood there asked them, “What are you doing, untying the young donkey?”
6 Bayekoli bazongiselaki bango ndenge kaka Yesu alobaki na bango, mpe bato yango batikaki bayekoli kokende elongo na yango.
They said to them just as Jesus had said, and they let them go.
7 Bamemaki mwana yango ya ane epai ya Yesu, batandaki bilamba na bango na mokongo na yango; mpe Yesu avandaki na likolo na yango.
They brought the young donkey to Jesus and threw their garments on it, and Jesus sat on it.
8 Bato ebele batandaki bilamba na bango na nzela; bamosusu batandaki bitape ya mobesu, oyo bawutaki kokata na likolo ya banzete kati na bilanga.
Many spread their garments on the way, and others were cutting down branches from the trees and spreading them on the road.
9 Bato oyo bazalaki kotambola liboso ya Yesu mpe ba-oyo bazalaki kolanda sima bazalaki koganga: « Ozana! Tika ete apambolama, Ye oyo ayei na Kombo ya Nkolo!
Those who went in front and those who followed cried out, “Hosanna! Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord!
10 Tika ete bokonzi oyo eyei epambolama, bokonzi ya Davidi, tata na biso! Ozana na bisika oyo eleki Likolo! »
Blessed is the kingdom of our father David that is coming in the name of the Lord! Hosanna in the highest!”
11 Tango kaka Yesu akotaki na Yelusalemi, akendeki kati na Tempelo. Mpe kuna, atalaki na bokebi ndenge makambo nyonso ezalaki kosalema; kasi lokola tango elekaki, abimaki mpe akendeki na Betani elongo na bayekoli na Ye zomi na mibale.
Jesus entered into the temple in Jerusalem. When he had looked around at everything, it being now evening, he went out to Bethany with the twelve.
12 Mokolo oyo elandaki, wana bazalaki kotika Betani, Yesu ayokaki nzala.
The next day, when they had come out from Bethany, he was hungry.
13 Na mosika, amonaki nzete moko ya figi etonda na makasa; apusanaki pene na yango mpo na kotala soki ezali na mbuma. Kasi tango akomaki pene, amonaki kaka makasa mpo ete ezalaki eleko ya bambuma ya figi te.
Seeing a fig tree afar off having leaves, he came to see if perhaps he might find anything on it. When he came to it, he found nothing but leaves, for it was not the season for figs.
14 Yesu alobaki na nzete yango: « Tika ete, mpo na libela, moto moko te alia lisusu mbuma kowuta na yo! » Bayekoli na Ye bayokaki Ye koloba maloba yango. (aiōn g165)
Jesus told it, "May no one eat fruit from you again for the age (aiōn g165)!" And his disciples heard it.
15 Tango bakomaki na Yelusalemi, Yesu akotaki kati na lopango ya Tempelo mpe akomaki kobengana bato oyo bazalaki koteka mpe kosomba kati na Tempelo; abalolaki bamesa ya bato oyo bazalaki kobongola mbongo mpe bakiti ya ba-oyo bazalaki koteka bibenga;
They came to Jerusalem, and Jesus entered into the temple and began to throw out those who sold and those who bought in the temple, and overthrew the money changers’ tables and the seats of those who sold the doves.
16 mpe apesaki nzela te na bato oyo bazalaki kotambola kati na lopango ya tempelo ete bamema biloko.
He would not allow anyone to carry a container through the temple.
17 Bongo akomaki koteya bango: « Boni, ekomama te: ‹ Ndako na Ngai ekobengama Ndako ya losambo mpo na bikolo nyonso? › Kasi bino, bokomisaki yango penza nganda ya miyibi! »
He taught, saying to them, “Is not it written, ‘My house will be called a house of prayer for all the nations’? But you have made it a den of robbers!”
18 Bakonzi ya Banganga-Nzambe mpe balakisi ya Mobeko bayokaki makambo yango mpe bakomaki koluka nzela ya koboma Ye; bazalaki kobanga Ye, pamba te ebele ya bato bazalaki kokamwa malakisi na Ye.
The chief priests and the scribes heard it, and sought how they might destroy him. For they feared him, because all the multitude was astonished at his teaching.
19 Tango pokwa ekomaki, Yesu mpe bayekoli na Ye babimaki na engumba.
When evening came, he went out of the city.
20 Na tongo ya mokolo oyo elandaki, wana bazalaki koleka, bamonaki ete nzete ya figi ekawuki kino na misisa.
As they passed by in the morning, they saw the fig tree withered away from the roots.
21 Petelo akanisaki likambo oyo esalemaki mpe alobaki na Yesu: — Moteyi, tala! Nzete ya figi oyo olakelaki mabe ekawuki!
Peter, remembering, said to him, “Rabbi, look! The fig tree which you cursed has withered away.”
22 Yesu alobaki na bayekoli na Ye: — Bozala na kondima kati na Nzambe.
Jesus answered them, “Have faith in God.
23 Nazali koloba na bino penza ya solo: soki moto alobi na ngomba wana: « Longwa wana mpe mibwaka na ebale; » soki atie tembe te kati na motema na ye, kasi andimi ete makambo oyo alobi ekosalema, solo, akomona yango kokokisama.
For most certainly I tell you, whoever may tell this mountain, ‘Be taken up and cast into the sea,’ and does not doubt in his heart, but believes that what he says is happening, he shall have whatever he says.
24 Yango wana nazali koloba na bino: eloko nyonso oyo bokosenga wana bozali kosambela, bondima ete bosili kozwa yango mpe bokomona yango kokokisama.
Therefore I tell you, all things whatever you pray and ask for, believe that you have received them, and you shall have them.
25 Mpe tango botelemaka mpo na kosambela, soki bozali na likambo oyo bozwaki na yango moto songolo, bolimbisa ye mpo ete Tata na bino, oyo azali na Likolo alimbisa mpe masumu na bino. [
Whenever you stand praying, forgive, if you have anything against anyone; so that your Father, who is in heaven, may also forgive you your transgressions.
26 Kasi soki bolimbisi te, Tata na bino oyo azali kati na Likolo mpe akolimbisa masumu na bino te.]
But if you do not forgive, neither will your Father in heaven forgive your transgressions.”
27 Bakendeki lisusu na Yelusalemi. Wana Yesu azalaki kotambola kati na lopango ya Tempelo, bakonzi ya Banganga-Nzambe, balakisi ya Mobeko mpe bakambi ya bato bapusanaki pene na Ye mpe batunaki Ye:
They came again to Jerusalem, and as he was walking in the temple, the chief priests, the scribes, and the elders came to him,
28 — Na kombo ya bokonzi nini ozali kosala biloko oyo? Mpe nani apesi Yo bokonzi ya kosala yango?
and they began saying to him, “By what authority do you do these things? Or who gave you this authority to do these things?”
29 Yesu azongiselaki bango: — Nazali kotuna bino motuna moko kaka. Bopesa Ngai nanu eyano, bongo Ngai nakoyebisa bino soki na kombo ya bokonzi nini nazali kosala makambo yango.
Jesus said to them, “I will ask you one question. Answer me, and I will tell you by what authority I do these things.
30 Libatisi ya Yoane ewutaki na Nzambe to ewutaki na bato? Boyebisa Ngai!
The baptism of John—was it from heaven, or from men? Answer me.”
31 Bakomaki kokabola makanisi bango na bango: « Soki tolobi ete ewutaki na Nzambe, akotuna biso lisusu: bongo mpo na nini bondimaki ye te?
They reasoned with themselves, saying, “If we should say, ‘From heaven;’ he will say, ‘Why then did you not believe him?’
32 Soki mpe tolobi ete ewutaki na bato, wana… » Solo, bazalaki kobanga bato, pamba te bato nyonso bazalaki kozwa Yoane lokola mosakoli.
If we should say, ‘From men’”—they feared the people, for all held John to really be a prophet.
33 Boye, bazongiselaki Yesu: — Toyebi te! Yesu mpe alobaki na bango: — Ngai mpe, nakoyebisa bino te soki na kombo ya bokonzi nini nazali kosala makambo yango.
They answered Jesus, “We do not know.” Jesus said to them, “Neither will I tell you by what authority I do these things.”
