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 discourse with them in similitudes. A certain man planted a vineyard, and inclosed it with a hedge, and dug in it a wine vat, and built a tower in it, and put it into the hands of husbandmen, and removed to a distance.
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 at the proper time, he sent his servant to the husbandmen, to receive of the fruits of the vineyard.
3 Kasi bafuteli elanga bakangaki ye, babetaki ye mpe bazongisaki ye maboko pamba.
And they beat him, and sent him away empty.
4 Atindelaki bango mosali mosusu; babetaki-betaki ye na moto mpe basambwisaki ye.
And again he sent to them another servant; and him also they stoned, and wounded, and sent him away under indignities.
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 killed. And he sent many other servants, some of whom they beat, and some 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. »
At last, having an only and dear son, he sent him to them; for he said, Perhaps they will respect 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 those husbandmen said among themselves: This is the heir; come, let us kill him, and the inheritance will be ours.
8 Bakangaki ye, babomaki ye mpe babwakaki ye na libanda ya elanga ya vino.
And they took him, and slew 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 therefore will the lord of the vineyard do? He will come and destroy those husbandmen, and transfer the vineyard to others.
10 Nanu botanga Makomi oyo te: « Libanga oyo batongi ndako babwakaki ekomi libanga ya songe ya ndako, mpe esimbi ndako mobimba?
And have ye not read this scripture, The stone which the builders rejected, hath become the head of the corner:
11 Ezali Nkolo nde alingaki bongo, mpe ezali penza likambo ya kokamwa na miso na biso! »
From the Lord, was this; and it is wonderful 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 apprehend him, but were afraid of the people; for they knew that he spoke this similitude against them. And they left him, and went away.
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 to him some of the Scribes and of the household of Herod, to ensnare 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 these came, and asked him: Teacher; we know that thou art veracious, and hast no fear of man; for thou regardest not the face of men, but teachest the way of God in truth. Is it lawful to give capitation money to Caesar; or not? Shall we give, or not give?
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.
And he knew their wile, and said to 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 one to him. And he said to them: Whose is this image and inscription? They said to 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.
Jesus said to them: What is Caesar's, give to Caesar; and what is God's, give to God. And they wondered at him.
18 Bongo Basaduseo, ba-oyo balobaka ete lisekwa ezali te, bayaki epai na Yesu mpe batunaki Ye:
Then came to him Sadducees, who say that there is no resurrection; and they asked him, and said:
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.
Teacher; Moses wrote to us, that if a man's brother die, and leave a widow, but leave no children, his brother shall take his widow, and raise up seed to his brother.
20 Nzokande, ezalaki na bandeko mibali sambo. Ndeko mobali ya liboso abalaki mwasi mpe akufaki, kasi abotaki bana te.
There were seven brothers: and the first took a wife, and died, and left no seed.
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 he also left no seed: 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 took her, and left no seed. Last of all, the woman also died.
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, of which of them will she be the wife? For all the seven took her.
24 Yesu azongiselaki bango: — Bozali kati na libunga, pamba te boyebi Makomi te, mpe boyebi nguya ya Nzambe te.
Jesus said to them: Is it not on this account that ye err, because ye understand not the scriptures, nor 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 do not take wives, nor are wives given to husbands; but they are as the angels that 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 rise, have ye not read in a book of Moses, how God said to him from the bush: 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 of the living. Ye, therefore, do err greatly.
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 came, and heard them as they discussed, and he saw that he gave them an excellent answer; and he asked him, Which is the first of all the commandments?
29 Yesu azongisaki: — Tala Mobeko oyo eleki monene: « Isalaele, yoka malamu! Yawe azali Nzambe na biso, Yawe azali kaka moko.
Jesus said to him: The first of all the commandments is: Hear, O Israel; the Lord our 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 might. 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, which is like it, is: Thou shalt love thy neighbor, as thyself. There is no other commandment greater than these.
32 Bongo molakisi ya Mobeko alobaki na ye: — Moteyi, olobi malamu; olobi solo ete Nzambe azali kaka moko, mosusu azali te.
The Scribe said to him: Excellently! Rabbi; thou hast spoken the truth; for he is one God, and there is no other beside 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 for a man to love him, with all the heart, and with all the mind, and with all the soul, and with all the might; and to love his neighbor, as himself; is better than all holocausts 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 perceived that he replied wisely; and he answered, and said to him: Thou art not far from the kingdom of God. And no one dared again 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 as Jesus was teaching in the temple, he answered and said: How can the Scribes say, that 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 Holy Spirit: The Lord said to my Lord; Seat thyself on my right hand, until I place thy enemies as a footstool beneath 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 therefore calleth him " My Lord;" and how is he his son? And all the multitude heard him with pleasure.
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 said to them in his teaching: Beware of the Scribes, who choose to walk in long robes, and love the salutation in the streets,
39 balingaka kovanda na bakiti ya liboso, kati na bandako ya mayangani; mpe na bisika ya lokumu, kati na bafeti;
and the chief seats in the synagogues, and the chief couches at feasts.
40 bayibaka biloko ya basi oyo bakufisa mibali, mpe basalaka mabondeli ya milayi-milayi mpo na kokosa bato. Bakozwa etumbu oyo eleki makasi.
They devour the houses of widows, under pretence that they prolong their prayers. These shall receive a greater condemnation.
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 sat over against the treasury-room, he saw how the multitude cast money into the treasury. And many rich ones cast in much.
42 Mwasi mobola moko akufisa mobali ayaki mpe atiaki mbongo mibale ya bibende, oyo ezalaki na motuya moke penza.
And a poor widow came, and cast in two mites, which are a brass 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 Jesus called his disciples, and said to them: Verily I say to you, That this poor widow hath cast into the treasury more than all they that cast in.
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 they all cast in of that which abounded to them, but she, of her poverty, hath cast in all that she possessed, the whole of her property.
