Malako 2
1 Sima na mwa mikolo, Yesu azongaki lisusu na Kapernawumi. Tango bato bayokaki ete azali na ndako,
And, entering again into Capernaum, after some days, it was heard say—He is in a 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 no longer was there room even in the approaches to the door, —and he began speaking unto them the word;
3 Bato mosusu bamemelaki Ye ebosono oyo bato minei batomboli.
and they come, bearing unto him a paralytic, upborne by four, —
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 get near him by reason of the multitude, they uncovered the roof where he was, and, having broken it up, they began letting down the couch whereon the paralytic was lying;
5 Tango Yesu amonaki kondima na bango, alobaki na ebosono: — Mwana na Ngai, masumu na yo elimbisami.
and, Jesus, seeing their faith, saith unto the paralytic—Child! forgiven are thy sins!
6 Kasi ndambo ya balakisi ya Mobeko oyo bazalaki wana bakomaki kolobaloba na se ya mitema:
Now there were certain of the Scribes there, sitting and deliberating 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 thus talk? he is speaking profanely! Who can forgive sins, save one, God?
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, straightway, taking note in his spirit, that [thus] they are deliberating within themselves, saith [unto them]—Why, these things, are ye deliberating 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 unto the paralytic, Forgiven are thy sins, or to say, Rise, [and] take up thy couch, and be walking?
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 to be forgiving sins upon the earth, he saith to the paralytic:
11 — Nalobi na yo: Telema, kamata tsipoyi na yo mpe zonga na ndako na yo.
To thee, I say, Rise, take up thy couch, and be going thy way unto 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, straightway taking up the couch, went forth before all, —so that all were beside themselves and were glorifying God, [saying]—Thus, we never saw it!
13 Yesu abimaki lisusu mpe akendeki pembeni ya ebale. Bato ebele bayaki epai na Ye mpe ateyaki bango.
And he went forth again by the sea, —and all the multitude was coming unto him, and he began teaching 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 by, he saw Levi, the son of Alphaeus, sitting over the tax-office, —and saith unto him—Be following me! And, arising, he 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 cometh to pass, that he is reclining in his house, and many tax-collectors and sinners were reclining with Jesus and his disciples; for there were many, and they began 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 the Scribes and Pharisees, seeing that he was eating with the sinners and the tax-collectors, began saying unto his disciples—With the tax-collectors and sinners, is he eating?
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, hearing it, Jesus saith unto them—No need, have the strong of a physician, but they who are sick, I came not to call the righteous, 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 unto him—For what cause, do, the disciples of John and the disciples of the Pharisees, fast, whereas, 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 unto them—Is it possible for the sons of the bridechamber, while the bridegroom is with them, to be fasting? So long as they have the bridegroom with them, it is impossible, to fast.
20 Kasi tango ezali koya oyo bakolongola mobali ya libala kati na bango; mpe ekozala na tango wana nde bakokila bilei.
But there will come days, when the bridegroom shall be taken from them, and, then, they will 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 unshrunk cloth upon an old mantle, —otherwise, at least, the shrinking teareth away from it—the new from the old—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, poureth new wine into fold skins, —otherwise, at least, the wine will burst the skins, and the wine is lost, and, the skins. [But new wine is for unused 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, on the Sabbath, was passing through the cornfields, and his disciples began to be going forward, plucking the ears of corn.
24 Bafarizeo balobaki na Yesu: — Mpo na nini bayekoli na Yo bazali kosala likambo oyo epekisami kosalema na mokolo ya Saba?
And, the Pharisees, were saying, —See! why are they doing, on the Sabbath, what is not allowed?
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 unto them—Have ye never read what David did, when he had need and hungered, —he, 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 entered into the house of God, while Abiathar was High-priest, and, the presence-bread, did eat, —which it is not allowed to eat, save unto the priests, —and gave, unto them also 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 was saying unto them—The Sabbath, for man, was made, 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.
