Malako 8
1 Na mikolo yango, ebele penza ya bato bayaki lisusu kosangana zingazinga ya Yesu. Lokola bazalaki na eloko ya kolia te, Yesu abengaki bayekoli na Ye mpe alobaki na bango:
IN those days the multitude being exceedingly great, and having nothing to eat, Jesus calling his disciples to him, said unto them,
2 — Nazali koyokela bato oyo mawa, pamba te basali mikolo misato elongo na Ngai mpe bazali na eloko ya kolia te.
I have compassion on the multitude, for they have stayed with me already three days, and have nothing to eat:
3 Soki nazongisi bango na bandako na bango na nzala, bakolemba nzoto na nzela; pamba te, bato mosusu kati na bango bawutaki mosika.
and if I send them away fasting to their houses, they will faint on the road; for many of them came from a great distance.
4 Bayekoli na Ye bazongisaki: — Kati na esobe oyo, esika nini tokoki kozwa mapa mpo na koleisa bango mpe batonda?
His disciples answered him, Whence can a man here in the desert satisfy these with bread?
5 Yesu atunaki bango: — Bozali na mapa boni? Bazongisaki: — Tozali na mapa sambo.
And he asked them, How many loaves have ye? And they said, Seven.
6 Boye, alobaki na ebele ya bato yango ete bavanda na mabele. Bongo azwaki mapa yango sambo, azongisaki matondi epai ya Nzambe, akataki yango mpe apesaki biteni na yango epai ya bayekoli na Ye mpo ete bakabola yango epai ya bato. Mpe bayekoli basalaki bongo.
And he commanded the multitude to recline in order on the ground: and taking the seven loaves, having given thanks he brake them, and gave to his disciples, that they should set before the people; and they distributed them to the multitude.
7 Bazalaki mpe na mwa ndambo ya bambisi ya mike-mike. Apambolaki yango mpe alobaki na bayekoli na Ye ete bakabola yango.
And they had a few small fishes; and blessing, he commanded to set these also before them.
8 Bato nyonso baliaki mpe batondaki. Bongo bayekoli balokotaki biteni oyo etikalaki, batondisaki na yango bitunga sambo.
And they did eat and were filled and they took up what remained of the fragments, seven baskets.
9 Bato bazalaki pene nkoto minei. Bongo, Yesu azongisaki bango.
And the persons who had eaten were about four thousand: and he sent them away.
10 Mbala moko, Yesu amataki na bwato elongo na bayekoli na Ye mpe akendeki na etuka ya Dalimanuta.
And immediately going into the vessel with his disciples, he came into the coasts of Dalmanutha.
11 Bafarizeo bayaki mpe bakomaki kotuna Yesu mituna; mpo na komeka Ye, basengaki na Ye ete asala elembo moko kowuta na Likolo.
Then the Pharisees came out, and began to question him, seeking of him a sign from heaven, tempting him.
12 Yesu ayokaki mawa makasi kati na molimo na Ye mpe alobaki: « Mpo na nini bato ya ekeke oyo bazali kosenga elembo? Nazali koloba na bino penza ya solo: bakopesamela elembo moko te! »
And fetching a deep sigh from his very soul, he saith, Why seeketh this generation a sign? verily I tell you, no sign shall be given to this generation.
13 Bongo atikaki bango, amataki lisusu na bwato mpe akendeki na ngambo mosusu ya ebale.
And leaving them, going again on board the vessel, he departed to the other side.
14 Bayekoli babosanaki komema mapa; bazalaki kaka na lipa moko kati na bwato.
And they had forgotten to take bread, and had not with them in the vessel but a single loaf.
15 Yesu akebisaki bango: — Bofungola miso mpe bosala keba na levire ya Bafarizeo mpe ya Erode!
And he earnestly charged them, saying, Beware, take heed of the leaven of the Pharisees, and of the leaven of Herod.
16 Bayekoli bakomaki kolobana bango na bango: — Azali koloba bongo mpo ete tozali na mapa te.
And they talked the matter over among themselves, saying, This is because we have no loaves of bread.
17 Yesu asosolaki makanisi na bango; alobaki: — Bozali kolobana bino na bino mpo ete bozali na mapa te! Mpo na nini? Boni, bozwi kaka bososoli nanu te; mayele na bino ezali kaka ya kozipama; bozali na mitema makasi;
And Jesus knowing it said unto them, Why reason ye together, because ye have no loaves? Do ye not yet consider, nor understand? Have ye your heart yet hardened?
18 bozali na miso, kasi bozali komona te; bozali na matoyi, kasi bozali koyoka te? Bobosani penza!
Having eyes, do ye not see? and having ears, do ye not hear? and do ye not remember?
19 Tango nakataki mapa mitano mpo na kokabolela bato nkoto mitano, bozongaki na motango boni ya bitunga etonda na biteni ya mapa, sima na kokabolela bato? Bazongisaki: — Bitunga zomi na mibale.
When I broke the five loaves among the five thousand, how many baskets full of fragments took ye up? They say unto him, Twelve.
20 Bongo tango nakataki mapa sambo mpo na kokabolela bato nkoto minei, bozongaki na bitunga boni etonda na biteni ya mapa? Bazongisaki: — Tolokotaki bitumba sambo.
And when the seven loaves among the four thousand, how many baskets full of fragments took ye up? They said, Seven.
21 Alobaki na bango: — Bozwi kaka bososoli nanu te?
And he said unto them, How is it that ye do not understand?
22 Tango bakomaki na Betisaida, bato bamemaki epai na Yesu moto moko akufa miso; mpe basengaki na Yesu ete asimba ye.
And he cometh to Bethsaida; and they bring him a blind man, and entreat him that he would touch him.
23 Yesu asimbaki loboko ya mokufi miso mpe amemaki ye na libanda ya mboka; bongo apakolaki ye soyi na miso, atielaki ye maboko mpe atunaki ye: — Boni, omoni eloko?
And he took the blind man by the hand, and led him without the city; and spitting on his eyes, he laid his hands upon him, and asked him if he saw aught.
24 Moto yango atalaki mpe alobaki: — Nazali komona bato, kasi bazali lokola banzete oyo ezali kotambola.
And looking up, he said, I see men walking, as trees.
25 Bongo Yesu atiaki lisusu maboko na Ye na miso ya moto yango, mpe moto yango abikaki. Boye akomaki komona malamu penza.
Then again he put his hands upon his eyes, and made him look up again: and he was entirely restored, and saw all men distinctly.
26 Yesu alobaki na ye: — Kende na ndako na yo, komeka kutu te kozonga na mboka.
And he sent him away unto his own house, saying, Neither enter thou into the city, nor speak to any in the city.
27 Yesu mpe bayekoli na Ye bakendeki na bamboka ya Sezarea ya Filipo. Na nzela, atunaki bango: — Bato bazali koloba ete Ngai nazali nani?
And Jesus and his disciples went out into the towns of Caesarea Philippi: and on the road he asked his disciples, saying unto them, Who do men say that I am?
28 Bazongisaki: — Bamoko balobaka ete ozali Yoane Mobatisi; bamosusu, Eliya; mpe bamosusu lisusu, moko kati na basakoli.
And they answered, John the Baptist: others say, Elias; and others, One of the prophets.
29 Yesu atunaki bango: — Bongo bino, bolobaka ete Ngai nazali nani? Petelo azongiselaki Ye: — Ozali Masiya.
And he said unto them, But who do ye say that I am? Then Peter answering, said unto him, Thou art the Messiah.
30 Yesu apekisaki bango makasi koloba bongo na moto ata moko.
And he strictly enjoined them, that they should tell no man of this.
31 Yesu akomaki koteya bango: — Mwana na Moto asengeli komona pasi mingi; bakambi, bakonzi ya Banganga-Nzambe mpe balakisi ya Mobeko basengeli koboya Ye, basengeli koboma Ye, mpe, sima na mikolo misato, asengeli kosekwa.
And he began to teach them, that the Son of man must suffer many things, and be rejected by the elders, and chief priests, and scribes, and be slain, and after three days rise again.
32 Azalaki koloba makambo yango na polele penza. Bongo Petelo abendaki Yesu na pembeni mpe akomaki kopamela Ye: — Koloba bongo te!
And he spake this saying openly. And Peter taking him aside, began to remonstrate with him.
33 Kasi Yesu abalukaki, atalaki bayekoli na Ye mpe apamelaki Petelo: — Mosika na Ngai, Satana! Makanisi na yo ezali makanisi ya Nzambe te, ezali penza makanisi ya bato.
But he turned himself around, and seeing his disciples, he rebuked Peter, saying, Get thee behind me, Satan: for thou dost not relish the things which are of God, but those that are of men.
34 Yesu abengaki ebele ya bato mpe bayekoli na Ye, alobaki na bango: — Moto nyonso oyo alingi kolanda Ngai asengeli komiboya ye moko, kokamata ekulusu na ye mpe kolanda Ngai.
Then calling to him the multitude, with his disciples, he said to them, Whosoever will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me.
35 Pamba te moto nyonso oyo akolinga kobikisa bomoi na ye akobungisa yango, kasi moto nyonso oyo akobungisa bomoi na ye mpo na Ngai mpe mpo na Sango Malamu akobikisa yango.
For whosoever would preserve his life shall lose it; but whosoever would lose his life for my sake and the Gospel, he shall preserve it.
36 Litomba nini ezali mpo na moto, soki azwi mokili mobimba, kasi abungisi bomoi na ye?
For what would it profit a man, though he should gain the whole world, if he be punished with the loss of his own soul?
37 Moto akoki penza kopesa nini mpo na kosikola bomoi na ye?
Or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?
38 Moto nyonso oyo akoyoka Ngai mpe maloba na Ngai soni, kati na bato ya ekeke oyo, ba-oyo batosaka Nzambe te mpe batondi na masumu, Mwana na Moto mpe akoyoka ye soni, tango akoya elongo na ba-anjelu ya bule kati na nkembo ya Tata na Ye.
For whosoever shall be ashamed of me and of my words, before this adulterous and sinful generation; of him will the Son of man also be ashamed, when he shall come in the glory of his Father, with the holy angels.
