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,
As they approached Jerusalem, being come as far as Bethphage, and Bethany, near 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 into the village opposite you, and just as you enter it, you will find a colt tied, on which no man ever rode; loose 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.
And if any person ask you, Wherefore do you this? say, The Master needs him, and he will instantly send him hither.
4 Bakendeki mpe bakutaki mwana ya ane ekangama na libanda, pembeni ya ekuke; mpe bafungolaki yango.
Accordingly they went, and finding a colt tied before a door, where two ways met, they loosed him.
5 Ndambo ya bato oyo bazalaki wana batunaki: — Nini ezwi bino mpo ete bofungola mwana oyo ya ane?
Some of the people present said to them, Wherefore do you loose the colt?
6 Bayekoli bazongiselaki bango ndenge kaka Yesu alobaki na bango, mpe bato yango batikaki bayekoli kokende elongo na yango.
They having answered as Jesus had commanded them, were allowed to take him.
7 Bamemaki mwana yango ya ane epai ya Yesu, batandaki bilamba na bango na mokongo na yango; mpe Yesu avandaki na likolo na yango.
Accordingly they brought the colt to Jesus, on which having laid their mantles, he sat on him.
8 Bato ebele batandaki bilamba na bango na nzela; bamosusu batandaki bitape ya mobesu, oyo bawutaki kokata na likolo ya banzete kati na bilanga.
And many spread their mantles in the way; others cut down sprays from the trees, and strowed them in the way.
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!
And they who went before, and they who followed shouted, saying, Hosanna! blessed be He that 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! »
Happy be the approaching Reign of our Father David!
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.
In this manner Jesus entered Jerusalem and the temple; where, after surveying everything around, it being late, he departed with the twelve to Bethany.
12 Mokolo oyo elandaki, wana bazalaki kotika Betani, Yesu ayokaki nzala.
The next day, when he left 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.
and observing a fig tree at a distance, full of leaves, went to look for fruit on it, for the fig harvest was not yet. And being come, he found nothing but leaves.
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)
Then he said to it, Henceforth let no man ever eat fruit off you. And his disciples heard him. (aiōn g165)
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;
Being returned to Jerusalem, he went into the temple, and drove out them who sold, and them who bought in the temple, and overturned the tables of the money changers, and the stalls of them who sold doves;
16 mpe apesaki nzela te na bato oyo bazalaki kotambola kati na lopango ya tempelo ete bamema biloko.
and would suffer no person to carry vessels 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 also taught them, saying, Is it not written, "My house shall be called a house of prayer for all 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.
And the scribes and the chief priests hearing this, sought means to destroy him; for they dreaded him, because all the multitude admired his doctrine.
19 Tango pokwa ekomaki, Yesu mpe bayekoli na Ye babimaki na engumba.
And in the evening 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.
Next morning as they returned, they saw that the fig tree was dried up from the root.
21 Petelo akanisaki likambo oyo esalemaki mpe alobaki na Yesu: — Moteyi, tala! Nzete ya figi oyo olakelaki mabe ekawuki!
Peter recollecting, said to him, Rabbi, behold the fig tree, which you devoted, already withered.
22 Yesu alobaki na bayekoli na Ye: — Bozala na kondima kati na Nzambe.
Jesus answered, 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 indeed, I say to you, Whoever shall say to this mountain, Be lifted, and thrown into the sea, and shall not in the least doubt, but shall believe that what he says shall happen; whatever he shall command, shall be done for him;
24 Yango wana nazali koloba na bino: eloko nyonso oyo bokosenga wana bozali kosambela, bondima ete bosili kozwa yango mpe bokomona yango kokokisama.
for which reason I assure you, that what things soever you pray for, if you believe that you shall obtain them, they shall be yours.
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. [
And when you pray, forgive, if you have matter of complaint against any; that your Father, who is in heaven, may also forgive you your trespasses.
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, who is in heaven, forgive your trespasses.
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:
Again, they arrived at Jerusalem; and as he was walking in the temple, the chief priests, scribes, and the elders, came,
28 — Na kombo ya bokonzi nini ozali kosala biloko oyo? Mpe nani apesi Yo bokonzi ya kosala yango?
and said to him, By what authority do you these things? and who empowered you to do them?
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 answering, said to them, I also have a question to ask; 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!
Was the title which John had to immerse, 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?
Then they argued thus among themselves; If we say, From heaven; he will reply, 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.
But if we say, From men; we are in danger from the people, who are all convinced that John was 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 therefore answering, said to Jesus, We can not tell. Jesus replied, Neither do I tell you by what authority I do these things.
