Matayo 11
1 Tango Yesu asilisaki kopesa mitindo epai ya bayekoli na Ye zomi na mibale, alongwaki wana, akendeki koteya mpe kopanza Sango Malamu kati na bingumba na bango.
AND it was that when Jeshu had finished instructing his twelve disciples, he removed from thence to teach and preach in their cities.
2 Wana Yoane Mobatisi azalaki kati na boloko, ayokaki sango ya makambo nyonso oyo Klisto azalaki kosala; atindaki bayekoli na ye
But Juchanon, when he heard in the house of the bound the works of the Meshicha, sent by his disciples,
3 kotuna epai ya Yesu: — Boni, ozali penza Ye oyo asengelaki koya to tosengeli kozela mosusu?
and said to him, Art thou He that cometh, or another are we to expect?
4 Yesu azongiselaki bango: — Bokende koyebisa Yoane makambo oyo bozali komona mpe koyoka:
Jeshu answered and said to them, Go, recount to Juchanon these things which you hear and see;
5 bakufi miso bazali komona, ba-ebosono bazali kotambola, bato na maba bazali kopetolama, bakufi matoyi bazali koyoka, bakufi bazali kosekwa mpe Sango Malamu ezali kosakolama epai ya babola.
(that) the blind see, the lame are walking, the lepers are made clean, the deaf hear, the dead arise, and the poor are evangelized;
6 Esengo na moto oyo akokweyisa kondima na ye te likolo na Ngai!
and blessed is he who shall not be offended with me.
7 Wana bayekoli ya Yoane bazalaki kozonga, Yesu akomaki koloba na ebele ya bato na tina na Yoane; atunaki bango: — Eloko nini bokendeki kotala kati na esobe? Mwa nzete oyo mopepe ezalaki koningisa epai na epai?
But when they were gone, Jeshu began to speak to the assembly concerning Juchanon: What went you forth into the waste to see? a reed that by the wind was shaken?
8 Soki mwa nzete yango te, bokendeki penza kotala nini? Moto moko alati bilamba ya kitoko? Te! Bato oyo balataka bilamba ya kitoko bavandaka na bandako ya bakonzi.
And if not, what went you forth to see? a man clothed in soft vestments? Behold, they who are softly clothed are in the house of kings.
9 Kasi bino, bokendeki penza kotala nini kati na esobe? Mosakoli? Solo, nazali koloba na bino penza ya solo: aleki kutu ata mosakoli.
And if not, what went you forth to see? a prophet? I tell you, Yes; and more than a prophet.
10 Pamba te, azali moto oyo bakoma na tina na ye: « Nakotinda ntoma na Ngai liboso na Yo mpo na kobongisela Yo nzela. »
For this is he concerning whom it is written, Behold, I send my angel before thy face, to prepare the way before thee.
11 Nazali koloba na bino penza ya solo: kati na bato oyo babotama na mwasi, moko te aleki Yoane Mobatisi na monene; nzokande, ye oyo aleki moke kati na Bokonzi ya Likolo aleki Yoane Mobatisi na monene.
Amen I say to you, there hath not arisen among them born of women who greater than Juchanon the Baptizer: yet, the least in the kingdom of heaven is greater than he.
12 Wuta na tango oyo Yoane Mobatisi azalaki koteya kino sik’oyo, kokota na Bokonzi ya Likolo ezali likambo ya koyika mpiko, mpe ezali kaka bato oyo bazali kobunda na kondima nde bazali kokota kuna.
But from the days of Juchanon the Baptizer until now, the kingdom of the heavens by violence is taken, and the violent ones seize it.
13 Pamba te basakoli nyonso mpe Mobeko basakolaki yango bango nyonso kino na tango ya Yoane.
For all the prophets and the law prophesied until Juchanon;
14 Mpe, soki bokoki kondima, boyeba ete ye nde azali Eliya oyo asengeli koya.
and if you are willing, receive, that he is Elia who was to come.
15 Tika ete moto oyo azali na matoyi mpo na koyoka ayoka!
Whoever hath ears to hear, he shall hear.
16 Na nani penza nakokokanisa bato ya ekeke oyo? Bakokani penza na bana mike oyo bavandi na esika oyo bato ebele bakutanaka mpe bazali koganga epai ya bamosusu:
BUT to what shall I compare this generation? It is like children who sit in the public place, and cry to their companions,
17 « Tobetaki baflite, kasi bobinaki te; toyembelaki bino banzembo ya matanga, kasi bolelaki-lelaki te. »
and say, We have sung to you, and you have not danced; we have wailed unto you, and you have not mourned.
18 Pamba te, tango Yoane ayaki, azalaki kolia te mpe azalaki komela vino te; mpe balobaki: « Azali na molimo mabe kati na ye! »
For Juchanon came neither eating nor drinking, and they say, He hath a devil.
19 Mpe awa Mwana na Moto mpe ayei, azali kolia mpe azali komela; kasi bazali koloba: « Azali na lokoso ya kolia mpe azali molangwi masanga, moninga ya bafutisi mpako mpe ya bato ya masumu. » Nzokande, misala ya bwanya etalisaka solo ete ezali sembo.
The Son of man came eating and drinking, and they say, See a man a devourer, a wine-drinker, a friend of tribute-takers and of sinners. But justified is wisdom by her servants.
20 Bongo Yesu apamelaki bingumba epai wapi asalaki mingi kati na bikamwa na Ye, pamba te bavandi na yango babongolaki mitema te.
Then began Jeshu to reproach those cities in which were done many of his miracles, and which did not repent,
21 Alobaki: — Mawa na yo, Korazini! Mawa na yo, Betisaida! Pamba te soki bikamwa oyo esalemaki kati na bino esalemaki na bingumba Tiri mpe Sidoni, mbele bavandi na yango babongolaki mitema wuta kala, mpe mbele batalisaki yango na kolata basaki mpe na komipakola putulu!
saying, Woe to thee, Korazin! woe to thee, Bethtsaida! for if in Tsur and in Tsaidon those miracles had been done which have been performed in you, they would a while ago in sackcloth and ashes have repented.
22 Yango wana, nazali koloba na bino: na mokolo ya kosambisama, etumbu na bino ekozala makasi koleka etumbu ya Tiri mpe Sidoni.
But I say to you, that for Tsur and Tsaidon it shall be more tolerable in the day of judgment than for you.
23 Mpe yo, Kapernawumi, okanisi ete okotombolama kino na Likolo? Te! Okokitisama kino na mboka ya bakufi! Pamba te, soki bikamwa oyo esalemaki kati na yo esalemaki kati na Sodome, mbele Sodome ezali kowumela kino na mokolo ya lelo. (Hadēs g86)
And thou, Kaphernachum, who unto heaven art exalted, unto Shiul shalt be brought down; for if in Sadum had been done those miracles which have been done in thee, it would have stood until this day. (Hadēs g86)
24 Yango wana, nazali koloba na bino: na mokolo ya kosambisama, etumbu na yo ekozala makasi koleka etumbu mokili ya Sodome.
But I tell you that for the land of Sadum it shall be more tolerable in the day of judgment than for thee.
25 Kaka na tango yango, Yesu alobaki: — Oh Tata, Nkolo ya Likolo mpe ya mabele, nakumisi Yo! Pamba te, obombaki makambo oyo mpo ete bato ya bwanya mpe bato ya mayele bayeba yango te, kasi olakisi yango na bana mike!
IN that time Jeshu answered and said, I praise thee, my Father, the Lord of the heavens and of the earth, that thou hast concealed these (things) from the wise and prudent, but hast revealed them unto little children.
26 Iyo, Tata, pamba te, kati na boboto na Yo, olingaki ete esalema bongo!
Yes, my Father, for thus was it pleasing before thee!
27 Tata na Ngai apesa Ngai biloko nyonso. Moko te ayebi Mwana longola kaka Tata, mpe moko te ayebi Tata longola kaka Mwana mpe ye oyo epai ya nani Mwana asepeli kotalisa Tata.
All things are delivered to me from my Father; and no man knoweth the Son but the Father; also the Father no man knoweth, except the Son, and he (to) whom the Son pleaseth to reveal (him).
28 Boya epai na Ngai, bino nyonso oyo bolembi na mikumba; Ngai, nakopesa bino bopemi.
Come unto me, all you (who) are wearied and bearing burdens, and I will give you rest.
29 Bozwa ekangiseli na Ngai, bomema yango mpe boyekola epai na Ngai, pamba te nazali na motema ya boboto mpe ya komikitisa, bongo milimo na bino ekozwa bopemi.
Bear my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am peaceful and lowly in my heart, and you shall find repose for your souls.
30 Solo, ekangiseli na Ngai ezali pasi te, mpe mokumba na Ngai ezali pepele.
For my yoke is kindly, and my burden is light.
