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 to you, There are some standing here, who will not taste of death, until they shall see the kingdom of God to be coming with 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 took Cephas and James and John, and led them to a high mountain, apart; and was transformed 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 raiment shone and was very white, like snow, so as men on earth can never whiten.
4 Mbala moko, bamonaki Eliya elongo na Moyize bazali kosolola na Yesu.
And there appeared to them Moses and Elijah, in conversation 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 Cephas said to him: Rabbi, it is delightful for us to be here. And let us make three booths; one for thee, and one for Moses, and one for Elijah.
6 Solo, Petelo azalaki kososola te makambo oyo azalaki koloba, pamba te bango misato batondaki na kobanga.
But he did not know what he said, for they were in trepidation.
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 was a cloud, and it overshadowed them. And a voice issued from the cloud, which said: This is my beloved Son. Hear ye him.
8 Mbala moko, bayekoli batalaki zingazinga na bango mpe bamonaki moto mosusu te elongo na bango, kaka Yesu.
And suddenly, when the disciples looked up, they saw no one with them, except Jesus only.
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 the mountain, he commanded them to tell no man what they had seen, till after the Son of man should be risen from 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 in their mind; and inquired, What doth this saying mean: " When he shall be risen from the dead!"
11 Bayekoli batunaki Yesu: — Mpo na nini balakisi ya Mobeko balobaka ete Eliya asengeli koya moto ya liboso?
And they asked him, and said: Why then do the Scribes say, that Elijah must first 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?
He said to them: Elijah truly first cometh, to prepare all things: and, as it is written of the Son of man, he will suffer much, and be rejected.
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 to you: That Elijah hath come; and they have done to him all that they desired, as it was 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 his disciples, he saw a great multitude with them, and the Scribes disputing with them.
15 Tango kaka bato yango bamonaki Yesu, bakamwaki mingi mpe bapotaki mbangu mpo na kokutana na Ye mpe kopesa Ye mbote.
And immediately the multitude saw him, and were surprised: and they ran and saluted him.
16 Yesu atunaki bango: — Likambo nini bozali kotiana na yango tembe elongo na bayekoli?
And he asked the Scribes: What were ye disputing with them?
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 of the multitude replied, and said: Teacher, I have brought to thee my son, who hath a spirit that will not speak.
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 wherever he seizeth him, he shaketh and teareth him: and he gnasheth his teeth, and pineth away. And I spoke to thy disciples, to 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.
Jesus answered, and said to them: O incredulous generation! How long shall I be with you? how long 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 when the spirit saw him, immediately he shook him; and he fell upon the ground, and wallowed and foamed.
21 Yesu atunaki tata ya mwana: — Esali mikolo boni wuta mwana akoma boye? Tata ya mwana azongisaki: — Wuta tango azalaki mwana moke penza.
And Jesus asked his father, how long a time he had been thus. He said to him: Lo, from his 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 many times it hath thrown him into the fire, and into the water, to destroy him. But, if thou canst do any thing, aid me and have compassion on me.
23 Yesu alobaki na ye: — Olobi nini: « Soki okoki! » Nyonso ekoki kosalema mpo na moto oyo azali na kondima.
Jesus said to him: If thou canst believe; every thing can be, to him that believeth.
24 Mbala moko, tata ya mwana alobaki na mongongo makasi: — Nandimi! Sunga ngai, pamba te nazangi kondima.
And immediately the father of the child cried out, while he wept and said: I believe; aid thou the defect of my faith.
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.
And when Jesus saw that the people were, running and collecting around him, he rebuked the unclean spirit, and said to him: Thou deaf and unspeaking spirit, I command thee, come out of him; and no more enter 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 the demon cried out greatly, and bruised him, and came out. And he was as a dead person; so that many would say, he is dead.
27 Kasi Yesu asimbaki mwana yango na loboko mpe atelemisaki ye; mpe mwana atelemaki.
And Jesus took him by the hand, and raised him up.
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 Jesus entered the house, his disciples asked him privately: Why could not we cast him out?
29 Yesu azongisaki: — Babenganaka molimo ya ndenge wana kaka na losambo.
He saith to them: This kind can come out, by nothing but fasting and prayer.
30 Tango balongwaki na esika wana, bakatisaki na mokili ya Galile mpe Yesu alingaki te ete moto ata moko ayeba esika oyo bazali,
And when he departed from there, they passed through Galilee: and he desired that no one might know him.
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 the hands of men, and they will kill him; and when he is killed, on the third day, he will rise.
32 Kasi bazalaki kososola te maloba wana mpe bazalaki kobanga kopesa Ye mituna na tina na yango.
But they did not understand that speech; and they were afraid to ask him.
33 Tango bakomaki na Kapernawumi, wana bazalaki kati na ndako, Yesu atunaki bango: — Likambo nini bozalaki kotiana tembe na nzela?
And they came to Capernaum. And when they entered the house, he asked them: What disputed ye among yourselves 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 were silent; for by the way they had contended with one another, which should be the great among them.
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 Jesus sat down, and called the twelve, and said to them: Whoever would be first, let him be last of all, and servitor to 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 he took a child, and set him in the midst, and took him in his arms and 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.
Whoever receiveth one in my name, like this child, he receiveth me; and he that receiveth me, receiveth not me only, but him that 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.
John said to him: Rabbi, we saw one casting out demons in thy name, and we forbad him, because he adhereth not to 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.
Jesus said to them: Forbid him not; for there is no one who doeth mighty works in my name, that can readily speak evil of me.
40 Moto oyo atelemeli biso te azali mpo na biso.
Whoever therefore is not against you, is for you.
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 whoever shall give you to drink a cup of water only, on the ground that ye are Messiah's followers, verily I say to you, he will not 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 whoever shall cause one of these little ones that believe in me to stumble, it were better for him, if a millstone were put to 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 make thee offend, cut it off: it is better for thee to enter into life maimed, than, having two hands, to go into hell; (Geenna g1067)
44 epai wapi nkusu mpe moto ekufaka te.]
where their worm dieth not, and their fire is not extinguished.
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 make thee offend, cut it off: it is better for thee to enter into life lamed, than, having two feet, to fall into hell; (Geenna g1067)
46 epai wapi nkusu mpe moto ekufaka te.]
where their worm dieth not, and their fire is not extinguished.
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 thy eye make thee offend, pluck it out: it is better for thee to enter with one eye into the kingdom of God, than, having two eyes, to fall into the hell of fire; (Geenna g1067)
48 epai wapi nkusu ekufaka te, mpe moto ekufaka te.
where their worm dieth not, and their fire is not extinguished.
49 Pamba te moto na moto akoleka na moto mpo ete akoma elengi lokola mungwa.
For every thing will be salted with fire; and every sacrifice will 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 a good thing: but if the salt become insipid, with what will it be salted? Let there be salt in you: and be ye in peace, one with another.
