Malako 9
1 Yesu alobaki na bango lisusu: — Nazali koloba na bino penza ya solo: kati na bato oyo bazali awa, ezali na ba-oyo bakokufa te kino bakomona Bokonzi ya Nzambe koya na nguya.
And he said to them, Verily I say unto you, There are some of those standing here that shall not taste death until they shall have seen the kingdom of God come in power.
2 Sima na mikolo motoba, Yesu azwaki Petelo, Jake mpe Yoane; amemaki bango na pembeni, na likolo ya ngomba moko ya molayi epai wapi bazalaki kaka bango moko. Yesu abongolamaki na miso na bango:
And after six days Jesus takes with [him] Peter and James and John, and takes them up on a high mountain by themselves apart. And he was transfigured before them:
3 bilamba na Ye ekomaki kongenga, ekomaki pembe makasi; moto moko te kati na mokili akoki kobimisa pembe ya ndenge wana.
and his garments became shining, exceeding white [as snow], such as fuller on earth could not whiten [them].
4 Mbala moko, bamonaki Eliya elongo na Moyize bazali kosolola na Yesu.
And there appeared to them Elias with Moses, and they were talking with Jesus.
5 Petelo alobaki na Yesu: — Moteyi, eleki malamu mpo na biso kotikala awa! Tokotonga bandako misato ya kapo: moko mpo na Yo, moko mpo na Moyize, mpe moko mpo na Eliya.
And Peter answering says to Jesus, Rabbi, it is good that we should be here; and let us make three tabernacles, for thee one, and for Moses one, and for Elias one.
6 Solo, Petelo azalaki kososola te makambo oyo azalaki koloba, pamba te bango misato batondaki na kobanga.
For he knew not what he should say, for they were filled with fear.
7 Lipata moko ebimaki mpe ezipaki bango, mpe mongongo moko eyokanaki wuta kati na lipata yango: — Oyo azali Mwana na Ngai ya bolingo, boyoka Ye!
And there came a cloud overshadowing them, and there came a voice out of the cloud, This is my beloved Son: hear him.
8 Mbala moko, bayekoli batalaki zingazinga na bango mpe bamonaki moto mosusu te elongo na bango, kaka Yesu.
And suddenly having looked around, they no longer saw any one, but Jesus alone with themselves.
9 Wana bazalaki kokita na ngomba, Yesu apekisaki bango koloba ata na moto moko, makambo oyo bawutaki komona kino tango Mwana na Moto akosekwa kati na bakufi.
And as they descended from the mountain, he charged them that they should relate to no one what they had seen, unless when the Son of man should be risen from among [the] dead.
10 Babatelaki likambo yango na motema. Atako bongo, bazalaki kaka kotunana: — Kosekwa kati na bakufi elingi koloba nini?
And they kept that saying, questioning among themselves, what rising from among [the] dead was.
11 Bayekoli batunaki Yesu: — Mpo na nini balakisi ya Mobeko balobaka ete Eliya asengeli koya moto ya liboso?
And they asked him saying, Why do the scribes say that Elias must first have come?
12 Yesu azongiselaki bango: — Solo, Eliya asengeli koya moto ya liboso mpo na kozongisa makambo nyonso na molongo. Bongo mpo na nini ekomama lisusu ete Mwana na Moto asengeli komona pasi mingi, mpe basengeli koboya Ye?
And he answering said to them, Elias indeed, having first come, restores all things; and how is it written of the Son of man that he must suffer much, and be set at nought:
13 Kasi Ngai, nazali koloba na bino ete Eliya ayaki mpe basalaki ye makambo nyonso oyo balingaki, kolanda ndenge ekomama na tina na ye.
but I say unto you that Elias also is come, and they have done to him whatever they would, as it is written of him.
14 Tango bakomaki pene ya esika oyo bayekoli mosusu bazalaki, bamonaki ebele ya bato penza bazingeli bango, mpe balakisi ya Mobeko kotiana tembe elongo na bayekoli.
And when he came to the disciples he saw a great crowd around them, and scribes disputing against them.
15 Tango kaka bato yango bamonaki Yesu, bakamwaki mingi mpe bapotaki mbangu mpo na kokutana na Ye mpe kopesa Ye mbote.
And immediately all the crowd seeing him were amazed, and running to [him], saluted him.
16 Yesu atunaki bango: — Likambo nini bozali kotiana na yango tembe elongo na bayekoli?
And he asked them, What do ye question with them about?
17 Moto moko kati na ebele yango ya bato azongiselaki Ye: — Moteyi, namemaki mwana na ngai, oyo ya mobali epai na Yo; pamba te azali na se ya bokonzi ya molimo mabe oyo esala ete alobaka te.
And one out of the crowd answered him, Teacher, I brought to thee my son, who has a dumb spirit;
18 Bipai nyonso oyo molimo yango ekangaka ye, ebwakaka ye na mabele, mpe mwana akomaka kobimisa fulufulu na monoko, kolia minu, mpe nzoto na ye ekangamaka. Nasengaki na bayekoli na Yo ete babengana molimo yango, kasi balongaki te.
and wheresoever it seizes him it tears him, and he foams and gnashes his teeth, and he is withering away. And I spoke to thy disciples, that they might cast him out, and they could not.
19 Yesu alobaki na bango: — Ekeke ya bato bazanga kondima! Kino tango nini nakozala na bino elongo? Kino tango nini nakokanga motema mpo na bino? Bomemela Ngai mwana yango.
But he answering them says, O unbelieving generation! how long shall I be with you? how long shall I bear with you? bring him to me.
20 Bongo bamemaki mwana yango epai ya Yesu. Tango kaka molimo yango ya mabe emonaki Yesu, eningisaki mwana yango makasi mpe mwana akweyaki na mabele, akomaki kobaluka-baluka mpe kobimisa fulufulu na monoko.
And they brought him to him. And seeing him the spirit immediately tore him; and falling upon the earth he rolled foaming.
21 Yesu atunaki tata ya mwana: — Esali mikolo boni wuta mwana akoma boye? Tata ya mwana azongisaki: — Wuta tango azalaki mwana moke penza.
And he asked his father, How long a time is it that it has been like this with him? And he said, From childhood;
22 Mbala mingi, molimo mabe etindikaka ye na moto to na mayi mpo na koluka koboma ye. Kasi soki okoki kobikisa ye, yokela biso mawa mpe sunga biso.
and often it has cast him both into fire and into waters that it might destroy him: but if thou couldst [do] anything, be moved with pity on us, and help us.
23 Yesu alobaki na ye: — Olobi nini: « Soki okoki! » Nyonso ekoki kosalema mpo na moto oyo azali na kondima.
And Jesus said to him, The 'if thou couldst' is [if thou couldst] believe: all things are possible to him that believes.
24 Mbala moko, tata ya mwana alobaki na mongongo makasi: — Nandimi! Sunga ngai, pamba te nazangi kondima.
And immediately the father of the young child crying out said [with tears], I believe, help mine unbelief.
25 Tango Yesu amonaki ebele ya bato koya mbangu, abenganaki molimo mabe: — Molimo mabe, yo oyo okomisaka moto baba, napesi yo mitindo: bima kati na mwana oyo mpe kozonga lisusu te kati na ye.
But Jesus, seeing that [the] crowd was running up together, rebuked the unclean spirit, saying to him, Thou dumb and deaf spirit, I command thee, come out of him, and enter no more into him.
26 Molimo mabe egangaki, eningisaki mwana makasi mpe ebimaki kati na ye. Mwana akomaki lokola moto akufi na ndenge ete mingi kati na bato oyo bazalaki wana bakomaki koloba « Akufi! »
And having cried out and torn [him] much, he came out; and he became as if dead, so that the most said, He is dead.
27 Kasi Yesu asimbaki mwana yango na loboko mpe atelemisaki ye; mpe mwana atelemaki.
But Jesus, having taken hold of him by the hand, lifted him up, and he arose.
28 Yesu akotaki na ndako; lokola bayekoli batikalaki bango moko kaka elongo na Ye, batunaki Ye: — Mpo na nini, biso, tolongaki te kobengana molimo yango?
And when he was entered into the house, his disciples asked him privately, Wherefore could not we cast him out?
29 Yesu azongisaki: — Babenganaka molimo ya ndenge wana kaka na losambo.
And he said to them, This kind can go out by nothing but by prayer and fasting.
30 Tango balongwaki na esika wana, bakatisaki na mokili ya Galile mpe Yesu alingaki te ete moto ata moko ayeba esika oyo bazali,
And going forth from thence they went through Galilee; and he would not that any one knew it;
31 pamba te azalaki koteya bayekoli na Ye mpe koloba na bango: — Bakokaba Mwana na Moto na maboko ya bato, bakoboma Ye, mpe, mikolo misato sima na kufa na Ye, akosekwa.
for he taught his disciples and said to them, The Son of man is delivered into men's hands, and they shall kill him; and having been killed, after three days he shall rise again.
32 Kasi bazalaki kososola te maloba wana mpe bazalaki kobanga kopesa Ye mituna na tina na yango.
But they understood not the saying, and feared to ask him.
33 Tango bakomaki na Kapernawumi, wana bazalaki kati na ndako, Yesu atunaki bango: — Likambo nini bozalaki kotiana tembe na nzela?
And he came to Capernaum, and being in the house, he asked them, Of what were ye reasoning by the way?
34 Kasi bavandaki nye, pamba te, na nzela, bazalaki penza kotiana tembe mpo na koyeba soki nani kati na bango aleki monene.
And they remained silent, for by the way they had been reasoning with one another who [was] greatest.
35 Yesu avandaki, abengaki bayekoli zomi na mibale mpe alobaki na bango: — Moto nyonso oyo alingi kozala moto ya liboso asengeli kozala moto ya suka mpe mosali ya bato nyonso.
And sitting down he called the twelve; and he says to them, If any one would be first, he shall be last of all, and minister of all.
36 Yesu akamataki mwana moko ya moke, atiaki ye na kati-kati na bango mpe, sima na Ye koyamba mwana yango na maboko na Ye, alobaki na bango:
And taking a little child he set it in their midst, and having taken it in his arms he said to them,
37 — Moto nyonso oyo, na Kombo na Ngai, akoyamba mwana lokola oyo, ayambi nde Ngai moko. Mpe moto nyonso oyo ayambi Ngai ayambi Ngai te, kasi ayambi nde Motindi na Ngai.
Whosoever shall receive one of such little children in my name, receives me; and whosoever shall receive me, does not receive me, but him who sent me.
38 Yoane alobaki: — Moteyi, tomonaki moto moko azali kobengana milimo mabe na Kombo na Yo, mpe topekisaki ye, pamba te azali elongo na biso te.
And John answered him saying, Teacher, we saw some one casting out demons in thy name, who does not follow us, and we forbad him, because he does not follow us.
39 Kasi Yesu azongisaki: — Bopekisa ye te; pamba te moto moko te akoki kosala bikamwa na Kombo na Ngai mpe aloba mbala moko, sima na mwa tango, mabe na tina na Ngai.
But Jesus said, Forbid him not; for there is no one who shall do a miracle in my name, and be able soon [after] to speak ill of me;
40 Moto oyo atelemeli biso te azali mpo na biso.
for he who is not against us is for us.
41 Nazali koloba na bino penza ya solo: moto nyonso oyo apesi bino kopo ya mayi na Kombo na Ngai, mpo ete bozali bato ya Klisto, akotikala kobungisa te lifuti na ye.
For whosoever shall give you a cup of water to drink in [my] name, because ye are Christ's, verily I say unto you, he shall in no wise lose his reward.
42 Kasi soki moto moko akweyisi na masumu moko kati na bana mike oyo bandimelaka Ngai, ekoleka malamu mpo na ye kokanga ye libanga monene ya enikelo na kingo mpe kobwaka ye na ebale.
And whosoever shall be a snare to one of the little ones who believe [in me], it were better for him if a millstone were hung about his neck, and he cast into the sea.
43 Soki loboko na yo ekweyisaka yo na masumu, kata yango; pamba te eleki malamu mpo na yo kokota kati na bomoi, na loboko moko, na esika ete otikala na maboko mibale mpe okende na lifelo, kati na moto oyo ekufaka te, [ (Geenna g1067)
And if thy hand serve as a snare to thee, cut it off: it is better for thee to enter into life maimed, than having thy two hands to go away into hell, into the fire unquenchable; (Geenna g1067)
44 epai wapi nkusu mpe moto ekufaka te.]
[where their worm dies not, and the fire is not quenched].
45 Soki lokolo na yo ekweyisaka yo na masumu, kata yango; pamba te eleki malamu mpo na yo kokota kati na bomoi, na lokolo moko, na esika ete otikala na makolo mibale mpe obwakama na lifelo [ (Geenna g1067)
And if thy foot serve as a snare to thee, cut it off: it is better for thee to enter into life lame, than having thy two feet to be cast into hell, into the fire unquenchable; (Geenna g1067)
46 epai wapi nkusu mpe moto ekufaka te.]
[where their worm dies not, and the fire is not quenched].
47 Soki liso na yo ekweyisaka yo na masumu, longola yango; pamba te eleki malamu mpo na yo kokota na Bokonzi ya Nzambe, na liso moko, na esika ete okoba kozala na miso mibale mpe obwakama na lifelo (Geenna g1067)
And if thine eye serve as a snare to thee, cast it out: it is better for thee to enter into the kingdom of God with one eye, rather than having two eyes to be cast into the hell of fire, (Geenna g1067)
48 epai wapi nkusu ekufaka te, mpe moto ekufaka te.
where their worm dies not, and the fire is not quenched.
49 Pamba te moto na moto akoleka na moto mpo ete akoma elengi lokola mungwa.
For every one shall be salted with fire, and every sacrifice shall be salted with salt.
50 Mungwa ezali malamu. Kasi soki mungwa ebungisi elengi na yango, ndenge nini bokokoka lisusu kozongisa elengi na yango? Yango wana, bozala na mungwa kati na bino, mpe bozala na kimia bino na bino.
Salt [is] good, but if the salt is become saltless, wherewith will ye season it? Have salt in yourselves, and be at peace with one another.
