Malako 4
1 Yesu abandaki lisusu koteya pembeni ya ebale. Bato ebele basanganaki pembeni na Ye. Boye, amataki mpe avandaki kati na bwato, mpe bato nyonso batelemaki na mokili, pembeni ya ebale.
Again he began to teach by the seaside. A great multitude was gathered to him, so that he entered into a boat in the sea and sat down. All the multitude were on the land by the sea.
2 Azalaki koteya bango makambo ebele na masese. Na mateya na Ye, azalaki koloba:
He taught them many things in parables, and told them in his teaching,
3 « Boyoka! Moloni moko abimaki mpo na kolona.
“Listen! Behold, the farmer went out to sow.
4 Wana azalaki kobwaka nkona na ye, ndambo ekweyaki pembeni ya nzela; bandeke eyaki mpe eliaki yango.
As he sowed, some seed fell by the road, and the birds came and devoured it.
5 Ndambo mosusu ekweyaki na esika etonda na mabanga, esika oyo mabele ezalaki mingi te; ebimisaki mito noki mpo ete mabele yango ezalaki na bozindo te.
Others fell on the rocky ground, where it had little soil, and immediately it sprang up, because it had no depth of soil.
6 Kasi tango moyi ebimaki, mito yango ezikaki mpo ete ezalaki na misisa te.
When the sun had risen, it was scorched; and because it had no root, it withered away.
7 Ndambo mosusu ekweyaki kati na banzube; banzube ekolaki mpe efinaki-finaki yango. Boye, ebotaki bambuma te.
Others fell amongst the thorns, and the thorns grew up and choked it, and it yielded no fruit.
8 Ndambo mosusu ekweyaki na mabele ya malamu; ebimisaki mito, ekolaki mpe ebotaki bambuma: nkona moko ebotaki bambuma tuku misato; mosusu, bambuma tuku motoba; mpe mosusu, bambuma nkama moko. »
Others fell into the good ground and yielded fruit, growing up and increasing. Some produced thirty times, some sixty times, and some one hundred times as much.”
9 Yesu azalaki lisusu koloba: « Tika ete moto oyo azali na matoyi mpo na koyoka ayoka! »
He said, “Whoever has ears to hear, let him hear.”
10 Tango atikalaki Ye moko, bantoma zomi na mibale elongo na bato oyo bazingelaki Ye batunaki Ye na tina na masese.
When he was alone, those who were around him with the twelve asked him about the parables.
11 Yesu alobaki na bango: — Epesameli bino koyeba mabombami ya Bokonzi ya Nzambe; kasi mpo na ba-oyo bazali na libanda, makambo nyonso ezali kotalisama na masese;
He said to them, “To you is given the mystery of God’s Kingdom, but to those who are outside, all things are done in parables,
12 mpo ete: atako bakoki kotala, bamona eloko te; mpe atako bakoki koyoka, basosola eloko te; noki te bakobongola mitema, mpe masumu na bango ekolimbisama.
that ‘seeing they may see and not perceive, and hearing they may hear and not understand, lest perhaps they should turn again, and their sins should be forgiven them.’”
13 Bongo Yesu alobaki na bango: — Boni, bososoli lisese oyo te? Ndenge nini bokososola masese mosusu?
He said to them, “Don’t you understand this parable? How will you understand all of the parables?
14 Moloni alonaka Liloba.
The farmer sows the word.
15 Bato mosusu bazali pembeni ya nzela epai wapi Liloba elonami. Tango kaka bayoki Liloba, Satana ayei mpe alongoli Liloba oyo elonami kati na mitema na bango.
The ones by the road are the ones where the word is sown; and when they have heard, immediately Satan comes and takes away the word which has been sown in them.
16 Bamosusu bazali lokola nkona oyo ekweyi na mabele etonda na mabanga: bayoki na bango Liloba mpe bayambi yango mbala moko na esengo;
These in the same way are those who are sown on the rocky places, who, when they have heard the word, immediately receive it with joy.
17 kasi lokola bazali na misisa te kati na bango, bakowumela na Liloba yango kaka mpo na tango moke. Soki kaka, likolo ya Liloba, pasi to minyoko eyei, basundoli mbala moko kondima na bango.
They have no root in themselves, but are short-lived. When oppression or persecution arises because of the word, immediately they stumble.
18 Bamosusu bazali lokola nkona oyo ekweyi kati na banzube: bayoki na bango Liloba;
Others are those who are sown amongst the thorns. These are those who have heard the word,
19 kasi mitungisi ya bomoi, lokoso ya bomengo mpe baposa ya makambo ya mokili efini-fini Liloba kati na bango, boye ekotikala kobota bambuma te kati na bango. (aiōn g165)
and the cares of this age, and the deceitfulness of riches, and the lusts of other things entering in choke the word, and it becomes unfruitful. (aiōn g165)
20 Bamosusu bazali lokola nkona oyo ekweyi na mabele ya malamu: bayoki malamu Liloba, bandimi yango mpe baboti bambuma; moko aboti bambuma tuku misato; mosusu, bambuma tuku motoba; mpe mosusu lisusu, bambuma nkama moko.
Those which were sown on the good ground are those who hear the word, accept it, and bear fruit, some thirty times, some sixty times, and some one hundred times.”
21 Yesu alobaki na bango lisusu: — Boni, bamemaka solo mwinda mpo na kotia yango na se ya katini to na se ya mbeto? Ezali te mpo na kotia yango na likolo ya etelemiselo ya minda?
He said to them, “Is a lamp brought to be put under a basket or under a bed? Isn’t it put on a stand?
22 Pamba te eloko moko te ebombama ekozanga komonisama, mpe eloko moko te ya sekele ekozanga kobima na pole.
For there is nothing hidden except that it should be made known, neither was anything made secret but that it should come to light.
23 Tika ete moto azali na matoyi mpo na koyoka ayoka!
If any man has ears to hear, let him hear.”
24 Alobaki lisusu: — Bosala keba na makambo oyo bozali koyoka! Bakomeka bino na emekelo kaka oyo bino bosalelaka mpo na komeka bato mosusu, mpe bakobakisa kutu lisusu koleka;
He said to them, “Take heed what you hear. With whatever measure you measure, it will be measured to you; and more will be given to you who hear.
25 pamba te na moto oyo azali na eloko, bakopesa ye lisusu; kasi na moto oyo azangi, bakobotola ye ata oyo azali na yango.
For whoever has, to him more will be given; and he who doesn’t have, even that which he has will be taken away from him.”
26 Yesu alobaki lisusu: — Bokonzi ya Nzambe ekokani na moto oyo abwaki nkona na mabele:
He said, “God’s Kingdom is as if a man should cast seed on the earth,
27 butu mpe moyi, alala to alamuka, nkona ebimisaka moto, ekolaka yango moko mpe ayebaka te ndenge nini yango ezali kokola;
and should sleep and rise night and day, and the seed should spring up and grow, though he doesn’t know how.
28 pamba te yango moko mabele nde ebimisaka mbuma: liboso, moto ya nzete; sima, matiti; mpe na suka, bambuma ya ble etondaka na nzete.
For the earth bears fruit by itself: first the blade, then the ear, then the full grain in the ear.
29 Bongo soki bambuma ekomeli, azwaka mbala moko mbeli oyo bakataka na yango matiti ya ble, pamba te eleko ya kobuka bambuma ekoki.
But when the fruit is ripe, immediately he puts in the sickle, because the harvest has come.”
30 Yesu alobaki lisusu: — Bokonzi ya Nzambe ekokani na nini? Tokoki kosalela lisese nini mpo na kokokanisa yango?
He said, “How will we liken God’s Kingdom? Or with what parable will we illustrate it?
31 Bokonzi ya Likolo ekokani na nkona ya mutarde: tango balonaka yango, ezalaka nkona oyo eleki moke kati na bankona nyonso ya mokili.
It’s like a grain of mustard seed, which, when it is sown in the earth, though it is less than all the seeds that are on the earth,
32 Kasi sima na kolona yango, ekokola mpe ekomaka molayi koleka ndunda nyonso ya elanga, ebimisaka bitape minene oyo esalaka ete bandeke ya likolo etonga zala na se ya pio na yango.
yet when it is sown, grows up and becomes greater than all the herbs, and puts out great branches, so that the birds of the sky can lodge under its shadow.”
33 Yesu azalaki kosalela masese ya ndenge na ndenge mpo na koteya bango Liloba na Nzambe, kolanda bososoli na bango;
With many such parables he spoke the word to them, as they were able to hear it.
34 azangaki te kosalela masese mpo na koloba na bango. Kasi soki atikali Ye moko elongo na bayekoli na Ye, azalaki kolimbola makambo nyonso.
Without a parable he didn’t speak to them; but privately to his own disciples he explained everything.
35 Kaka na mokolo yango wana, wana pokwa ekomaki, Yesu alobaki na bayekoli na Ye: — Tokatisa na ngambo mosusu ya ebale.
On that day, when evening had come, he said to them, “Let’s go over to the other side.”
36 Batikaki bato, bamemaki Ye na bwato mpe bakatisaki na ngambo mosusu. Babwato mosusu mpe ezalaki elongo na bango.
Leaving the multitude, they took him with them, even as he was, in the boat. Other small boats were also with him.
37 Mopepe moko ya makasi ekomaki kopepa, mbonge ekomaki kobeta na bwato, mpe bwato ekomaki kotonda na mayi.
A big wind storm arose, and the waves beat into the boat, so much that the boat was already filled.
38 Yesu azalaki na sima, alalaki pongi mpe atiaki moto na likolo ya kuse. Bayekoli balamusaki Ye mpe bayebisaki Ye na koganga: — Moteyi, tozali kokufa; mpe ozali komitungisa na Yo te?
He himself was in the stern, asleep on the cushion; and they woke him up and asked him, “Teacher, don’t you care that we are dying?”
39 Yesu alamukaki, agangelaki mopepe, mpe apesaki mitindo na ebale: — Tika makelele! Vanda nye! Mopepe esilaki, mpe kimia monene ezongaki.
He awoke and rebuked the wind, and said to the sea, “Peace! Be still!” The wind ceased and there was a great calm.
40 Bongo alobaki na bayekoli na Ye: — Mpo na nini bozali kobanga? Bozali nanu na kondima te?
He said to them, “Why are you so afraid? How is it that you have no faith?”
41 Somo monene ekotaki kati na bango mpe bakomaki kolobana bango na bango: « Moto oyo azali penza nani mpo ete mopepe mpe ebale etosa ye? »
They were greatly afraid and said to one another, “Who then is this, that even the wind and the sea obey him?”
