< Malako 2 >

1 Sima na mwa mikolo, Yesu azongaki lisusu na Kapernawumi. Tango bato bayokaki ete azali na ndako,
And after some days he again entered Capernaum; and it was reported that he was in the house.
2 bayaki ebele kosangana kati na ndako yango kino esika ezalaki lisusu te, ezala na liboso ya ekuke, mpe Yesu ateyaki bango Sango Malamu.
And many were gathered together, so that there was no longer room for them, even at the door; and he was speaking the word to them.
3 Bato mosusu bamemelaki Ye ebosono oyo bato minei batomboli.
And they come to him, bringing one that was palsied, borne by four men.
4 Lokola balongaki te kokomisa ebosono yango kino na esika oyo Yesu azalaki, pamba te bato bazalaki ebele penza, bamataki likolo ya mwanza ya ndako kino na esika oyo Yesu azalaki mpe batobolaki lidusu. Bongo na nzela ya lidusu yango, bakitisaki na tsipoyi ebosono yango.
And not being able to bring him to him on account of the crowd, they took off the roof where he was; and when they had broken an opening, they let down the bed whereon the palsied man lay.
5 Tango Yesu amonaki kondima na bango, alobaki na ebosono: — Mwana na Ngai, masumu na yo elimbisami.
And Jesus seeing their faith, saith to the palsied man, Son, thy sins are forgiven.
6 Kasi ndambo ya balakisi ya Mobeko oyo bazalaki wana bakomaki kolobaloba na se ya mitema:
But there were some of the scribes sitting there and reasoning in their hearts,
7 « Mpo na nini moto oyo azali koloba bongo? Azali kotiola Nzambe! Nani akoki kolimbisa masumu soki kaka Ye moko Nzambe te? »
Why doth this man speak thus? He blasphemeth; who can forgive sins but God only?
8 Mbala moko, kati na molimo na Ye, Yesu asosolaki makanisi na bango; alobaki na bango: — Mpo na nini mitema na bino ezali kokanisa bongo?
And Jesus immediately perceiving in his spirit that they reasoned thus within themselves, saith to them, Why do ye reason thus in your hearts?
9 Likambo nini eleki pete mpo na koloba na ebosono: « Masumu na yo elimbisami to telema, kamata tsipoyi na yo mpe tambola? »
Which is easier? to say to the palsied man, Thy sins are forgiven? or to say, Arise, and take up thy bed and go?
10 Ezali mpo boyeba ete Mwana na Moto azali na bokonzi ya kolimbisa masumu kati na mokili. Bongo alobaki na ebosono:
But that ye may know that the Son of man hath authority on earth to forgive sins, —he saith to the palsied man, —
11 — Nalobi na yo: Telema, kamata tsipoyi na yo mpe zonga na ndako na yo.
I say to thee, Arise, take up thy bed and go to thy house.
12 Mbala moko, atelemaki, akamataki tsipoyi na ye mpe abimaki na miso ya bato nyonso. Bato nyonso bakamwaki makasi mpe bakomaki kokumisa Nzambe na maloba oyo: « Totikala nanu komona likambo ya boye te! »
And he arose, and immediately took up the bed and went forth before them all; so that they were all amazed, and gave glory to God, saying, We never saw it thus.
13 Yesu abimaki lisusu mpe akendeki pembeni ya ebale. Bato ebele bayaki epai na Ye mpe ateyaki bango.
And he went forth again to the lake; and all the multitude came to him, and he taught them.
14 Wana azalaki kotambola, amonaki Levi, mwana mobali ya Alife, avandi na ndako ya mosala epai wapi bafutaka mpako. Yesu alobaki na ye: « Landa Ngai. » Levi atelemaki mpe alandaki Ye.
And passing along, he saw Levi, the son of Alphaeus, sitting at the custom-house; and he saith to him, Follow me. And he arose and followed him.
15 Wana Yesu azalaki kolia na ndako ya Levi, bafutisi mpako ebele mpe bato mosusu ya masumu bazalaki kolia mesa moko na Yesu elongo na bayekoli na Ye; pamba te bato ebele penza bazalaki kolanda Ye.
And it happened that he was reclining at table in his house; and many publicans and sinners were reclining with Jesus and his disciples; for there were many, and scribes of the Pharisees were also following him.
16 Tango balakisi ya Mobeko ya lingomba ya Bafarizeo bamonaki Yesu kolia mesa moko na bato ya masumu mpe bafutisi mpako, batunaki bayekoli na Ye: — Mpo na nini azali kolia mesa moko na bafutisi mpako mpe bato ya masumu?
And when they saw that he was eating with the publicans and sinners, they said to his disciples, Doth he eat and drink with publicans and sinners?
17 Tango Yesu ayokaki bongo, alobaki na bango: — Bato oyo bazali kolongono na nzoto bazalaka na posa ya monganga te; ezali babeli nde bazalaka na posa na ye. Nayaki te koluka bato ya sembo, kasi bato ya masumu.
And Jesus hearing it, saith to them, They who are well do not need a physician, but they who are sick. I came not to call righteous men, but sinners.
18 Nzokande bayekoli ya Yoane mpe Bafarizeo bazalaki kokila bilei. Bongo bato bayaki kotuna Yesu: — Mpo na nini bayekoli ya Yoane mpe Bafarizeo bakilaka bilei, kasi bayekoli na yo bakilaka bilei te?
And the disciples of John and the Pharisees were fasting; and they come and say to him, Why do the disciples of John and the disciples of the Pharisees fast, and thy disciples fast not?
19 Yesu azongiselaki bango: — Ndenge nini bato oyo babengami na feti ya libala bakoki kokila bilei, wana mobali ya libala azali nanu elongo na bango? Tango nyonso mobali ya libala azali elongo na bango, bakoki kokila bilei te.
And Jesus said to them, Can the companions of the bridegroom fast, while the bridegroom is with them? As long as they have the bridegroom with them, they cannot fast.
20 Kasi tango ezali koya oyo bakolongola mobali ya libala kati na bango; mpe ekozala na tango wana nde bakokila bilei.
But the days will come, when the bridegroom will be taken from them, and then will they fast in that day.
21 Moto moko te asalelaka eteni ya elamba ya sika mpo na kobamba elamba ya kala, noki te eteni ya elamba ya sika ekopasola elamba ya kala mpe ekosala lidusu ya monene koleka.
No one seweth a patch of undressed cloth on an old garment; for the new piece teareth away from the old garment, and a worse rent is made.
22 Moto moko te atiaka vino ya sika kati na bambeki ya kala, noki te vino ya sika ekopasola bambeki; vino ekosopana mpe bambeki ekopasuka. Nzokande, batiaka kaka vino ya sika kati na bambeki ya sika!
And no one putteth new wine into old skins; for the new wine will burst the skins, and the wine is lost, and the skins.
23 Ezalaki mokolo moko, Yesu azalaki kotambola kati na elanga ya ble; ezalaki mokolo ya Saba. Wana bazalaki kotambola, bayekoli na Ye bazalaki kobuka ble.
And it came to pass, that he was going through the grain-fields on the sabbath, and his disciples began, as they went along, to pluck the ears of grain.
24 Bafarizeo balobaki na Yesu: — Mpo na nini bayekoli na Yo bazali kosala likambo oyo epekisami kosalema na mokolo ya Saba?
And the Pharisees said to him, See, why are they doing on the sabbath that which is not lawful?
25 Yesu azongiselaki bango: — Botanga nanu te makambo oyo Davidi asalaki tango ye elongo na baninga na ye bazalaki na nzala mpe bazangaki bilei?
And he saith to them, Did ye never read what David did, when he had need, and was hungry, himself and they who were with him?
26 Akotaki kati na Ndako ya Nzambe wana Abiatari azalaki mokonzi ya Banganga-Nzambe, aliaki mapa oyo ebulisama mpo na Nzambe mpe apesaki yango epai ya bato na ye; nzokande, kaka Banganga-Nzambe nde bazalaki na ndingisa ya kolia yango.
how he went into the house of God in the days of Abiathar the high-priest, and ate the show-bread, which it is lawful for none but the priests to eat, and gave also to those who were with him?
27 Bongo alobaki na bango lisusu: — Mokolo ya Saba esalema mpo na moto, kasi moto asalema te mpo na mokolo ya Saba.
And he said to them, The sabbath was made for man, and not man for the sabbath.
28 Yango wana, Mwana na Moto azali mpe Mokonzi ya mokolo ya Saba.
So that the Son of man is lord even of the sabbath.
