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 when Jesus had ended the instructions to his twelve disciples, he went from there, to teach and to proclaim in their cities.
2 Wana Yoane Mobatisi azalaki kati na boloko, ayokaki sango ya makambo nyonso oyo Klisto azalaki kosala; atindaki bayekoli na ye
Now when John, in the house of prisoners, heard of the works of Messiah, he sent by the hand of 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 are we to expect another?
4 Yesu azongiselaki bango: — Bokende koyebisa Yoane makambo oyo bozali komona mpe koyoka:
Jesus answered, and said to them: Go, tell John the things that ye 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.
the blind see, and the lame walk, and the leprous are cleansed, and the deaf hear, and the dead rise up, and the needy hear good tidings:
6 Esengo na moto oyo akokweyisa kondima na ye te likolo na Ngai!
and happy is he, who shall not be stumbled at 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?
And when they were gone, Jesus began to say to the multitudes, concerning John: What went ye into the wilderness to see? A reed that waved in the wind?
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 ye out to see? A man clothed in delicate robes? Lo, they that are clothed in delicate robes, are in the dwelling 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 ye out to see? A prophet? Yes, say I to you, 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 of whom it is written: Behold, I send my messenger before thy face, that he may 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.
Verily I say to you, Among those born of women, there hath not arisen a greater than John the Baptizer: yet the small one 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.
And from the days of John the Baptizer, until now, the kingdom of heaven is assailed by force, and the violent 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 the time of John.
14 Mpe, soki bokoki kondima, boyeba ete ye nde azali Eliya oyo asengeli koya.
And, if ye are willing, receive ye, that this is he who was to come.
15 Tika ete moto oyo azali na matoyi mpo na koyoka ayoka!
He that hath ears to hear, let him 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 to children, that sit in the marketplace and call to their associates,
17 « Tobetaki baflite, kasi bobinaki te; toyembelaki bino banzembo ya matanga, kasi bolelaki-lelaki te. »
and say: We have sung to you, and ye did not dance: we have wailed to you, and ye did not lament.
18 Pamba te, tango Yoane ayaki, azalaki kolia te mpe azalaki komela vino te; mpe balobaki: « Azali na molimo mabe kati na ye! »
For John came, not eating and not drinking; and they said, He hath a demon.
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: Behold, a gluttonous man, and a wine drinker, and a friend of publicans and sinners. But wisdom is justified by her works.
20 Bongo Yesu apamelaki bingumba epai wapi asalaki mingi kati na bikamwa na Ye, pamba te bavandi na yango babongolaki mitema te.
Then began Jesus to reproach the cities, in which his many deeds of power were wrought, yet they repented not.
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!
And he said: Woe to thee, Chorazin! Woe to thee, Bethsaida! For if the deeds of power done in you, had been done in Tyre and Sidon, doubtless, they would long ago have repented in sackcloth and ashes.
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, It will be comfortable for Tyre and Sidon, in the day of judgment, rather 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, Capernaum, which hast been lifted up to heaven, shalt be brought down to the grave. For if those deeds of power which were done in thee, had been done in Sodom, it would have stood to 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 say to thee, It will be comfortable for the land of Sodom, in the day of judgment, rather 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!
At that time Jesus answered and said: I praise thee, O my Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that thou hast hid these things from the wise and knowing, and hast revealed them to little children.
26 Iyo, Tata, pamba te, kati na boboto na Yo, olingaki ete esalema bongo!
Yes, my Father; for so it seemed good 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.
Every thing is given up by my Father to me. And no one knoweth the Son, except the Father. Also, no one knoweth the Father, except the Son, and he to whom the Son is pleased to reveal him.
28 Boya epai na Ngai, bino nyonso oyo bolembi na mikumba; Ngai, nakopesa bino bopemi.
Come unto me, all ye wearied and heavily burdened, and I will ease you.
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.
Take my yoke upon you; and learn from me, that I am gentle and subdued in my heart: and ye will find rest for your souls:
30 Solo, ekangiseli na Ngai ezali pasi te, mpe mokumba na Ngai ezali pepele.
for my yoke is pleasant, and my burden is light.
