Matayo 12
1 Na tango wana, Yesu alekaki kati na bilanga ya ble na mokolo ya Saba. Lokola bayekoli na Ye bakomaki na nzala, babandaki kobuka ble mpe kolia yango.
At that time did Jesus go on the sabbaths through the corn, and his disciples were hungry, and they began to pluck ears, and to eat,
2 Tango Bafarizeo bamonaki bongo, balobaki na Yesu: — Tala bayekoli na Yo! Bazali kosala likambo oyo epekisami kosalema na mokolo ya Saba.
and the Pharisees having seen, said to him, 'Lo, thy disciples do that which it is not lawful to do on a sabbath.'
3 Yesu azongiselaki bango: — Botanga nanu te makambo oyo Davidi asalaki tango ye elongo na baninga na ye bazalaki na nzala,
And he said to them, 'Did ye not read what David did, when he was hungry, himself and those with him —
4 ndenge nini akotaki kati na Ndako ya Nzambe; mpe, ye elongo na bato na ye, baliaki mapa oyo ebulisama; nzokande, ezala ye to bato na ye, moko te azalaki na ndingisa ya kolia yango; kaka Banganga-Nzambe nde bazalaki na ndingisa ya kolia yango?
how he went into the house of God, and the loaves of the presentation did eat, which it is not lawful to him to eat, nor to those with him, except to the priests alone?
5 Botikala mpe nanu kotanga te kati na Mobeko ete, na mokolo ya Saba, Banganga-Nzambe oyo basalaka kati na Tempelo babukaka mobeko ya Saba, kasi bakweyaka na mbeba te mpo na yango?
'Or did ye not read in the Law, that on the sabbaths the priests in the temple do profane the sabbath, and are blameless?
6 Nzokande, Ngai, nazali koloba na bino ete ezali awa na moto moko oyo azali monene koleka Tempelo!
and I say to you, that a greater than the temple is here;
7 Ah soki bososolaki ndimbola ya maloba oyo: « Nasepelaka na motema ya boboto koleka mbeka, » bokokaki kopamela te bato oyo mpo ete basali mabe te!
and if ye had known what is: Kindness I will, and not sacrifice — ye had not condemned the blameless,
8 Pamba te Mwana na Moto azali Mokonzi ya mokolo ya Saba.
for the son of man is lord even of the sabbath.'
9 Sima na Yesu kolongwa na esika yango, akendeki na ndako na bango ya mayangani
And having departed thence, he went to their synagogue,
10 epai wapi ezalaki na moto moko akufa loboko. Bafarizeo batunaki Yesu: — Boni, mibeko epesa nzela ya kobikisa bato na mokolo ya Saba? Batunaki Ye bongo, pamba te bazalaki koluka likambo mpo na kofunda Ye.
and lo, there was a man having the hand withered, and they questioned him, saying, 'Is it lawful to heal on the sabbaths?' that they might accuse him.
11 Kasi Yesu azongiselaki bango: — Nani kati na bino, soki azali kaka na meme moko, mpe meme yango ekweyi kati na libulu, akokita te kati na libulu, na mokolo ya Saba, mpo na kobimisa yango?
And he said to them, 'What man shall be of you, who shall have one sheep, and if this may fall on the sabbaths into a ditch, will not lay hold on it and raise [it]?
12 Nzokande, moto azali na motuya koleka meme! Boye, kosala bolamu na mokolo ya Saba endimama na mobeko.
How much better, therefore, is a man than a sheep? — so that it is lawful on the sabbaths to do good.'
13 Bongo, alobaki na moto yango: — Sembola loboko na yo. Moto yango asembolaki loboko na ye, mpe loboko yango ebongaki, ekomaki malamu lokola loboko mosusu.
Then saith he to the man, 'Stretch forth thy hand,' and he stretched [it] forth, and it was restored whole as the other.
14 Bafarizeo babimaki mpe bakabolaki makanisi kati na bango mpo na koluka nzela ya kobomisa Yesu.
And the Pharisees having gone forth, held a consultation against him, how they might destroy him,
15 Wana Yesu asosolaki ete basali mabongisi ya koboma Ye, alongwaki na esika yango. Bato ebele balandaki Ye, mpe abikisaki babeli nyonso.
and Jesus having known, withdrew thence, and there followed him great multitudes, and he healed them all,
16 Kasi apekisaki bango kobeta ata lisolo na tina na Ye.
and did charge them that they might not make him manifest,
17 Asalaki bongo mpo ete maloba ya mosakoli Ezayi ekokisama:
that it might be fulfilled that was spoken through Isaiah the prophet, saying,
18 « Tala mosali na Ngai, oyo naponi; molingami na Ngai, mosali oyo nalingaka mingi, oyo asalaka esengo na Ngai. Nakopesa Ye Molimo na Ngai, mpe akosakola bosembo epai ya bikolo ya bapaya.
'Lo, My servant, whom I did choose, My beloved, in whom My soul did delight, I will put My Spirit upon him, and judgment to the nations he shall declare,
19 Akoswana te mpe akoganga te, bakoyoka mongongo na Ye te na babalabala.
he shall not strive nor cry, nor shall any hear in the broad places his voice,
20 Akobuka te mwa nzete ya kolemba oyo egumbama mpe akoboma te mwinda oyo elingi kokufa kino akosala ete bosembo elonga
a bruised reed he shall not break, and smoking flax he shall not quench, till he may put forth judgment to victory,
21 mpe bikolo nyonso ya bapaya etia elikya na Kombo na Ye. »
and in his name shall nations hope.'
22 Bongo bamemelaki Yesu moto moko oyo azalaki na se ya bokonzi ya molimo mabe, azalaki mokufi miso mpe azalaki koloba te. Yesu abikisaki ye; boye moto oyo azalaki koloba te akomaki koloba mpe komona.
Then was brought to him a demoniac, blind and dumb, and he healed him, so that the blind and dumb both spake and saw.
23 Bato nyonso bakamwaki mpe bazalaki koloba: — Boni, moto oyo azali mwana ya Davidi te?
And all the multitudes were amazed, and said, 'Is this the Son of David?'
24 Kasi tango Bafarizeo bayokaki maloba oyo ezalaki kolobama na tina na Yesu, balobaki: — Moto oyo azali kobengana milimo mabe na nguya ya Belizebule, mokonzi ya milimo mabe.
but the Pharisees having heard, said, 'This one doth not cast out demons, except by Beelzeboul, ruler of the demons.'
25 Lokola Yesu asosolaki makanisi na bango, alobaki na bango: — Bokonzi nyonso oyo bavandi na yango bakomi kobunda bango na bango ekobebisama; engumba nyonso to ndako nyonso oyo bato na yango bazali lisusu na bomoko te ekowumela te.
And Jesus, knowing their thoughts, said to them, 'Every kingdom having been divided against itself is desolated, and no city or house having been divided against itself, doth stand,
26 Soki Satana abengani Satana, wana akomi nde komibundisa ye moko; bongo bokonzi na ye ekowumela ndenge nini?
and if the Adversary doth cast out the Adversary, against himself he was divided, how then doth his kingdom stand?
27 Mpe soki, Ngai, nazali kobengana milimo mabe na nguya ya Belizebule, bayekoli na bino babenganaka yango na nguya ya nani? Yango wana, bayekoli na bino bakozala bango moko basambisi na bino.
'And if I, by Beelzeboul, do cast out the demons, your sons — by whom do they cast out? because of this they — they shall be your judges.
28 Kasi soki ezali na nguya ya Molimo ya Nzambe nde Ngai nazali kobengana milimo mabe, wana Bokonzi ya Nzambe esili kokoma kino epai na bino.
'But if I, by the Spirit of God, do cast out the demons, then come already unto you did the reign of God.
29 Ndenge nini moto akoki kokota na ndako ya elombe mpe koyiba biloko na ye ya ndako soki akangi nanu elombe yango te na basinga? Nzokande, soki akangi ye na basinga, wana akoki solo koyiba biloko nyonso oyo ezali kati na ndako na ye.
'Or how is one able to go into the house of the strong man, and to plunder his goods, if first he may not bind the strong man? and then his house he will plunder.
30 Moto oyo azali elongo na Ngai te azali monguna na Ngai, mpe moto oyo asangisaka te elongo na Ngai apanzaka.
'He who is not with me is against me, and he who is not gathering with me, doth scatter.
31 Yango wana, nazali koloba na bino penza ya solo: lisumu nyonso mpe makambo mabe nyonso oyo bato bakoki koloba na tina na Nzambe ekolimbisama; kasi moto nyonso oyo akoloba mabe na tina na Molimo Mosantu akolimbisama te.
Because of this I say to you, all sin and evil speaking shall be forgiven to men, but the evil speaking of the Spirit shall not be forgiven to men.
32 Moto nyonso oyo akoloba mabe na tina na Mwana na Moto akolimbisama; kasi moto nyonso oyo akoloba mabe na tina na Molimo Mosantu akolimbisama te, ezala na bomoi na ye awa na se to na bomoi oyo ekoya. (aiōn g165)
And whoever may speak a word against the Son of Man it shall be forgiven to him, but whoever may speak against the Holy Spirit, it shall not be forgiven him, neither in this age, nor in that which is coming. (aiōn g165)
33 Nzete ya malamu ebotaka mpe bambuma ya malamu, nzete ya mabe ebotaka mpe bambuma ya mabe; pamba te nzete eyebanaka na mbuma na yango.
'Either make the tree good, and its fruit good, or make the tree bad, and its fruit bad, for from the fruit is the tree known.
34 Libota ya banyoka! Bokokoka ndenge nini koloba makambo ya malamu awa bozali bato mabe? Pamba te maloba ya moto etalisaka lolenge ya motema na ye:
'Brood of vipers! how are ye able to speak good things — being evil? for out of the abundance of the heart doth the mouth speak.
35 moto malamu alobaka makambo ya malamu kowuta na motema malamu na ye, mpe moto mabe alobaka makambo ya mabe kowuta na motema mabe na ye.
The good man out of the good treasure of the heart doth put forth the good things, and the evil man out of the evil treasure doth put forth evil things.
36 Nzokande, Ngai, nazali koloba na bino: na mokolo ya kosambisama, bato bakosamba mpo na maloba ezanga tina, oyo babimisaki.
'And I say to you, that every idle word that men may speak, they shall give for it a reckoning in a day of judgment;
37 Pamba te ezali na nzela ya maloba na yo moko kaka nde bakolongisa yo to bakokweyisa yo.
for from thy words thou shalt be declared righteous, and from thy words thou shalt be declared unrighteous.'
38 Bongo ndambo ya balakisi ya Mobeko mpe Bafarizeo balobaki na Ye: — Moteyi, tolingi komona yo kosala elembo moko.
Then answered certain of the scribes and Pharisees, saying, 'Teacher, we will to see a sign from thee.'
39 Yesu azongisaki: — Oh bato ya ekeke oyo! Bazali bato mabe mpe bazangi botosi na miso ya Nzambe, kasi bazali mpe kosenga elembo! Bakopesamela elembo mosusu te longola kaka elembo ya mosakoli Yona.
And he answering said to them, 'A generation, evil and adulterous, doth seek a sign, and a sign shall not be given to it, except the sign of Jonah the prophet;
40 Pamba te, ndenge Yona avandaki kati na libumu ya mbisi monene mikolo misato mpe babutu misato, ndenge wana mpe Mwana na Moto akosala mikolo misato mpe babutu misato na se ya mabele.
for, as Jonah was in the belly of the fish three days and three nights, so shall the Son of Man be in the heart of the earth three days and three nights.
41 Na mokolo ya kosambisama, bato ya Ninive bakotelema mpe bakokatela bato ya ekeke oyo etumbu, pamba te babongolaki mitema na bango tango bayokaki mateya ya Yona; nzokande, ezali awa na Moto oyo aleki Yona.
'Men of Nineveh shall stand up in the judgment with this generation, and shall condemn it, for they reformed at the proclamation of Jonah, and lo, a greater than Jonah here!
42 Na mokolo ya kosambisama, mwasi mokonzi ya sude akotelema elongo na bato ya ekeke oyo mpe akokatela bango etumbu, pamba te awutaki mosika, na suka ya mokili, mpe ayaki mpo na koyoka maloba ya bwanya ya Salomo; nzokande, ezali awa na Moto oyo aleki Salomo.
'A queen of the south shall rise up in the judgment with this generation, and shall condemn it, for she came from the ends of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon, and lo, a greater than Solomon here!
43 Soki molimo mabe ebimi kati na moto, ekendaka koyengayenga na bisika ekawuka mpo na koluka esika ya kopema. Kasi soki ezwi esika yango te,
'And, when the unclean spirit may go forth from the man, it doth walk through dry places seeking rest, and doth not find;
44 emilobelaka: « Eleki malamu mpo na ngai kozonga na ndako oyo natikaki. » Tango molimo mabe yango ezongaka ekutaka ndako yango polele, bakombola mpe babongisa malamu,
then it saith, I will turn back to my house whence I came forth; and having come, it findeth [it] unoccupied, swept, and adorned:
45 ekokende lisusu kozwa milimo mosusu sambo oyo eleki yango na mabe, mpe ekoya elongo na yango mpo na kokota na elulu mpe kovanda kuna. Boye, bomoi ya moto yango ekokoma lisusu mabe koleka ndenge ezalaki liboso. Ekozala mpe bongo mpo na bato mabe ya ekeke oyo.
then doth it go, and take with itself seven other spirits more evil than itself, and having gone in they dwell there, and the last of that man doth become worse than the first; so shall it be also to this evil generation.'
46 Wana Yesu azalaki nanu koloba na bato, mama na Ye mpe bandeko na Ye ya mibali batelemaki libanda mpe bazalaki koluka kosolola na Ye.
And while he was yet speaking to the multitudes, lo, his mother and brethren had stood without, seeking to speak to him,
47 Bongo moto moko ayebisaki Yesu: — Mama mpe bandeko na yo ya mibali batelemi libanda, bazali na posa ya kosolola na yo.
and one said to him, 'Lo, thy mother and thy brethren do stand without, seeking to speak to thee.'
48 Kasi Yesu azongiselaki ye: — Nani mama na Ngai, mpe banani bandeko na Ngai?
And he answering said to him who spake to him, 'Who is my mother? and who are my brethren?'
49 Bongo Yesu atalisaki loboko na Ye na ngambo ya bayekoli na Ye mpe alobaki: — Mama na Ngai mpe bandeko na Ngai, bango oyo!
And having stretched forth his hand toward his disciples, he said, 'Lo, my mother and my brethren!
50 Pamba te moto nyonso oyo asalaka mokano ya Tata na Ngai, oyo azali kati na Likolo, ye nde azali ndeko na Ngai ya mobali, ndeko na Ngai ya mwasi mpe mama na Ngai.
for whoever may do the will of my Father who is in the heavens, he is my brother, and sister, and mother.'
