Malako 12
1 Bongo Yesu akomaki koloba na bango na masese: — Moto moko alonaki elanga ya vino, atongaki lopango zingazinga na yango, atimolaki ekamolelo bambuma ya vino mpe atongaki ndako molayi ya bakengeli. Sima, apesaki elanga yango na maboko ya basali mpo ete bakoma kofutela yango, mpe akendeki na mobembo.
AND he began to speak to them in parables. A man planted a vineyard, and set a hedge around it, and digged a wine-press, and built a tower, and let it out to husbandmen, and went abroad.
2 Tango eleko ya kobuka bambuma ekokaki, atindaki mosali moko epai ya bafuteli elanga, mpo ete akende kokongola epai na bango ndambo ya bambuma kowuta na elanga ya vino.
And in the season he sent a servant to the husbandmen, that he might receive from the husbandmen of the fruit of the vineyard.
3 Kasi bafuteli elanga bakangaki ye, babetaki ye mpe bazongisaki ye maboko pamba.
But they took him, and beat him, and sent him away empty.
4 Atindelaki bango mosali mosusu; babetaki-betaki ye na moto mpe basambwisaki ye.
And again he sent unto them another servant; and they cut the account short with him, by stoning him, and sent him away shamefully treated.
5 Atindaki lisusu mosali mosusu; oyo wana, babomaki ye. Bongo, na sima, atindaki lisusu bato ebele; kasi babetaki bamoko, mpe babomaki bamosusu.
And again he sent another; and him, they slew; and many others, some of whom they beat, and others they killed.
6 Nkolo elanga atikalaki kaka na moto moko ya kotinda: mwana na ye ya bolingo. Atindaki ye na suka na bango nyonso mpe amilobelaki: « Solo, bakotosa mwana na ngai. »
Now he had yet one son, his beloved, and he sent him unto them last, saying, They will reverence my son.
7 Kasi bafuteli elanga balobanaki bango na bango: « Tala mokitani ya libula ya elanga! Boya, toboma ye mpo ete libula ya elanga ekoma ya biso! »
But these husbandmen said to each other, This is the heir; come, let us kill him, and the inheritance will be our own.
8 Bakangaki ye, babomaki ye mpe babwakaki ye na libanda ya elanga ya vino.
And they took him, and killed him, and cast him out of the vineyard.
9 Boye, nkolo elanga ya vino akosala nini? Akoya ye moko, akoboma bafuteli elanga wana mpe akopesa elanga yango ya vino na maboko ya bafuteli mosusu.
What then will the lord of the vineyard do? He will come and destroy these husbandmen, and give his vineyard to others.
10 Nanu botanga Makomi oyo te: « Libanga oyo batongi ndako babwakaki ekomi libanga ya songe ya ndako, mpe esimbi ndako mobimba?
Have ye never read this scripture? “The stone which the builders rejected, the same is become the head of the corner:
11 Ezali Nkolo nde alingaki bongo, mpe ezali penza likambo ya kokamwa na miso na biso! »
this was the Lord’s doing, and it is marvellous in our eyes.”
12 Bakonzi ya Banganga-Nzambe, balakisi ya Mobeko mpe bakambi ya bato bazalaki koluka nzela ya kokanga Yesu, pamba te basosolaki ete alobaki lisese wana mpo na bango. Kasi lokola babangaki bato, batikaki Ye; mpe moto na moto akendeki.
And they sought to seize him, and were afraid of the people: for they knew that he had spoken this parable against them: and leaving him, they departed.
13 Sima, batindelaki Yesu ndambo ya Bafarizeo mpe ndambo ya bato ya lisanga ya Erode mpo na koluka kokanga Ye na motambo ya maloba na Ye moko.
And they sent unto him certain of the Pharisees and of the Herodians, that they might entrap him in discourse.
14 Tango bakomaki epai na Ye, balobaki: — Moteyi, toyebi ete ozali moto ya sembo mpe obangaka bato te, pamba te oponaka bilongi te, kasi oteyaka na bosolo nzela ya Nzambe. Boni, Mobeko na biso epesi solo nzela ya kofuta mpako ya Sezare to te? Tosengeli penza kofuta yango?
And they come and say to him, Master, we know that thou art true, and carest not for any man: for thou regardest not the person of men, but teachest the way of God in truth: Is it lawful to pay tribute to Caesar, or not?
15 Kasi lokola Yesu ayebaki ete bazali bato ya bilongi mibale, alobaki na bango: — Mpo na nini bozali kotiela Ngai motambo? Bomemela Ngai mbongo moko ya ebende, mpo ete namona yango.
shall we pay, or shall we not pay it? but he, perceiving their hypocrisy, said unto them, Why tempt ye me? bring me a denarius, that I may see it.
16 Bamemelaki Ye yango, mpe atunaki bango: — Elilingi ya nani mpe makomi ya nani bozali komona awa? Bazongisaki: — Ya Sezare.
And they brought it. And he said unto them, Whose figure and inscription is this? they say unto him, Caesar’s.
17 Yesu alobaki na bango: — Bopesa na Sezare, oyo ezali ya Sezare; mpe bopesa na Nzambe, oyo ezali ya Nzambe! Bakamwaki mingi eyano ya Yesu.
And Jesus addressing them, said, Render the things which are Caesar’s, to Caesar; and what belongs to God, to God. And they marvelled at him.
18 Bongo Basaduseo, ba-oyo balobaka ete lisekwa ezali te, bayaki epai na Yesu mpe batunaki Ye:
And the Sadducees come to him, who say that there is no resurrection; and they put a question to him, saying,
19 — Moteyi, Moyize akomaki mpo na biso ete soki ndeko mobali ya moto moko akufi mpe atiki mwasi, kasi aboti na ye bana te, moto wana asengeli kobala mwasi oyo ndeko na ye atiki mpo ete abotela ndeko yango bana.
Master, Moses left it in writing for us, that if a man’s brother die, and leave a wife, and leave no children; that his brother should take his wife, and raise up seed for his brother.
20 Nzokande, ezalaki na bandeko mibali sambo. Ndeko mobali ya liboso abalaki mwasi mpe akufaki, kasi abotaki bana te.
Now there were seven brothers; and the first took a wife, and dying left no issue:
21 Ndeko ya mibale abalaki mwasi yango kaka; kasi ye mpe akufaki, atikalaki kobota bana te. Esalemaki kaka bongo na ndeko ya misato kino na oyo ya sambo:
and the second took her, and died, and neither did he leave issue; and the third in like manner.
22 bandeko nyonso sambo batikalaki kobota bana te. Sima na bango nyonso, mwasi yango mpe akufaki.
And the seven had her, and left no issue. Last of all died also the wife.
23 Na mokolo oyo bato bakosekwa kati na bakufi, mwasi yango akozala mwasi ya nani kati na bandeko nyonso sambo, pamba te bango nyonso sambo babalaki ye?
In the resurrection therefore, when they shall rise, whose wife of them shall she be? for the seven had the very same wife.
24 Yesu azongiselaki bango: — Bozali kati na libunga, pamba te boyebi Makomi te, mpe boyebi nguya ya Nzambe te.
And Jesus answering said unto them, Do ye not therefore err, from not knowing the scriptures, and the power of God?
25 Na mokolo oyo bato bakosekwa kati na bakufi, bakobala lisusu te; kasi bakozala lokola ba-anjelu kati na Likolo.
For when they rise from the dead, they will neither marry, nor be given in marriage; but they are as the angels which are in heaven.
26 Mpo na oyo etali lisekwa ya bakufi, botikala nanu kotanga te kati na buku ya Moyize, makambo oyo Nzambe alobaki na ye na tina na nzete oyo ezalaki kopela moto kasi ezalaki kozika te: « Nazali Nzambe ya Abrayami, Nzambe ya Izaki, mpe Nzambe ya Jakobi? »
But concerning the dead, that they do rise; have ye not read in the book of Moses, how God spake to him at the bush, saying, I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob?
27 Nzambe azali Nzambe ya bakufi te, kasi azali Nzambe ya bato ya bomoi. Bozali penza kati na libunga monene.
He is not the God of the dead, but the God of the living. Ye are therefore vastly erroneous.
28 Moko kati na balakisi ya Mobeko, oyo ayokaki bango kotiana tembe mpe amonaki ete Yesu azongiselaki bango biyano ya malamu, apusanaki pene na Yesu mpe atunaki: — Mobeko nini eleki monene kati ya mibeko nyonso?
And one of the scribes coming, and hearing them questioning him, perceiving that he had answered them admirably, asked him, Which is the first commandment of all?
29 Yesu azongisaki: — Tala Mobeko oyo eleki monene: « Isalaele, yoka malamu! Yawe azali Nzambe na biso, Yawe azali kaka moko.
Then Jesus replied to him, The first of all the commandments is, Hear O Israel; the Lord thy God is one Lord:
30 Okolinga Yawe, Nzambe na yo, na motema na yo mobimba, na molimo na yo mobimba, na makanisi na yo nyonso mpe na makasi na yo nyonso. »
and thou shalt love the Lord thy God, with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind, and with all thy strength. This is the first commandment.
31 Tala mobeko oyo elandi: « Okolinga moninga na yo ndenge yo moko omilingaka. » Mobeko ya motuya koleka mibeko wana mibale ezali te.
And the second, like it, is this; Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself: there is no greater commandment than these.
32 Bongo molakisi ya Mobeko alobaki na ye: — Moteyi, olobi malamu; olobi solo ete Nzambe azali kaka moko, mosusu azali te.
And the scribe said unto him, Admirably, Master! thou hast spoken the very truth: for there is one God; and there is no other besides him:
33 Kolinga Ye na motema na yo mobimba, na mayele na yo nyonso mpe na makasi na yo nyonso, mpe kolinga moninga na yo ndenge yo moko omilingaka, yango nde ezali na tina mingi koleka bambeka ya kotumba mpe makabo nyonso.
and to love him with all the heart, and with all the understanding, and with all the soul, and with all the strength; and to love his neighbour as himself, is better than all burnt offerings, and sacrifices.
34 Tango Yesu amonaki ete molakisi ya Mobeko azongisi eyano na ndenge ya mayele, alobaki na ye: — Ozali mosika te ya Bokonzi ya Nzambe. Mpe moto ata moko te amekaki lisusu kotuna Ye mituna.
And Jesus perceiving that he had answered as a man of intelligence, said to him, Thou art not far from the kingdom of God. And no man thenceforth presumed to question him.
35 Wana Yesu azalaki koteya kati na lopango ya Tempelo, atunaki: — Ndenge nini balakisi ya Mobeko balobaka ete Klisto azali Mwana ya Davidi?
And Jesus addressing them said, as he taught in the temple, How say the scribes that the Messiah is the Son of David?
36 Pamba te Davidi, ye moko, alobaki boye na nzela ya Molimo Mosantu: « Yawe alobaki na Nkolo na ngai: ‹ Vanda na ngambo ya loboko na Ngai ya mobali kino natia banguna na Yo na se ya matambe na Yo. › »
for David himself saith by the Spirit, The Lord said to my Lord, Sit thou at my right hand, until I make thy enemies the foot-stool for thy feet.
37 Soki ye moko Davidi azali kobenga Ye « Nkolo, » bongo ndenge nini akoki lisusu kozala mwana na ye? Ebele ya bato bazalaki koyoka Ye na esengo.
David himself therefore calleth him Lord; and whence then is he his son? And a vast multitude heard him with delight.
38 Wana azalaki koteya, Yesu alobaki: — Bosala keba na balakisi ya Mobeko! Balingaka kotambola na banzambala ya milayi; balingaka ete bato bapesa bango mbote, na bisika oyo bato ebele bakutanaka;
And he spake to them in the course of his teaching, Beware of the scribes, who love to go about in trailing robes, and like salutations in the places of concourse,
39 balingaka kovanda na bakiti ya liboso, kati na bandako ya mayangani; mpe na bisika ya lokumu, kati na bafeti;
and the principal seats in the synagogues, and the first couch at suppers:
40 bayibaka biloko ya basi oyo bakufisa mibali, mpe basalaka mabondeli ya milayi-milayi mpo na kokosa bato. Bakozwa etumbu oyo eleki makasi.
who devour widows’ houses, and in pretence make long prayers: such shall receive greater damnation.
41 Yesu avandaki liboso ya kitunga ya makabo mpe azalaki kotala ndenge bato bazalaki kotia mbongo kati na kitunga ya makabo. Bazwi ebele bazalaki kotia mbongo ebele.
And as Jesus was sitting opposite the treasury, he saw a multitude casting money into the treasury: and many who were rich cast in many pieces.
42 Mwasi mobola moko akufisa mobali ayaki mpe atiaki mbongo mibale ya bibende, oyo ezalaki na motuya moke penza.
And one poor widow coming, cast in two mites, which is a farthing.
43 Yesu abengaki bayekoli na Ye mpe alobaki na bango: — Nazali koloba na bino penza ya solo: mwasi mobola oyo akufisa mobali apesi koleka bato nyonso oyo bawuti kotia mbongo kati na kitunga ya makabo.
And having called his disciples, he said unto them, I tell you truly, that this poor widow hath cast in more than all who have cast into the treasury:
44 Pamba te bato nyonso bazwi kati na mbongo oyo bazali na yango na tina te, mpo na kotia kati na kitunga ya makabo; kasi ye, kati na kokelela na ye, atie bozwi na ye nyonso, nyonso oyo azalaki na yango mpo na kobika na yango.
for all they have cast in of their superfluities; but she from her indigence hath cast in all that she had, even her whole substance.
