Matayo 15
1 Bafarizeo mpe balakisi ya Mobeko oyo bawutaki na Yelusalemi bayaki epai ya Yesu mpe balobaki na Ye:
Then the scribes and Pharisees from Jerusalem come up to Jesus, saying,
2 — Mpo na nini bayekoli na yo bazali kotosa te bokoko na biso? Pamba te basukolaka maboko na bango te liboso ya kolia.
Why do thy disciples transgress what has been delivered by the ancients? for they do not wash their hands when they eat bread.
3 Yesu azongiselaki bango: — Bongo bino, mpo na nini botosaka te mibeko ya Nzambe, kasi botosaka kaka bokoko na bino?
But he answering said to them, Why do ye also transgress the commandment of God on account of your traditional teaching?
4 Solo, Nzambe alobaki: « Okopesaka tata na yo mpe mama na yo lokumu; mpe moto oyo akolakela tata na ye to mama na ye mabe asengeli na etumbu ya kufa. »
For God commanded saying, Honour father and mother; and, He that speaks ill of father or mother, let him die the death.
5 Kasi bino, bolobaka: « Moto nyonso oyo alobi na tata na ye to na mama na ye: ‹ Lisungi oyo nalingaki kopesa yo, nabonzi yango lokola likabo epai ya Nzambe, ›
But ye say, Whosoever shall say to his father or mother, It is a gift, whatsoever [it be] by which [received] from me thou wouldest be profited:
6 abuki te mobeko ya kopesa tata na ye mpe mama na ye lokumu. » Ezali ndenge wana penza nde bozali kokomisa pamba Liloba na Nzambe mpo na kotombola bokoko na bino!
and he shall in no wise honour his father or his mother; and ye have made void the commandment of God on account of your traditional teaching.
7 Bato ya bilongi mibale! Ezayi asakola penza malamu na tina na bino:
Hypocrites! well has Esaias prophesied about you, saying,
8 « Bato oyo bapesaka Ngai lokumu kaka na bibebu, kasi mitema na bango ezali mosika na Ngai;
This people honour me with the lips, but their heart is far away from me;
9 basambelaka Ngai kaka na pamba, mateya na bango ezali kaka mibeko ya bomoto. »
but in vain do they worship me, teaching [as] teachings commandments of men.
10 Yesu abengaki ebele ya bato wana mpe alobaki na bango: — Boyoka mpe bososola makambo oyo:
And having called to [him] the crowd, he said to them, Hear and understand:
11 eloko oyo ekotaka na monoko ya moto ekomisaka moto mbindo te, kasi ezali eloko oyo ebimaka na monoko nde ekomisaka moto mbindo.
Not what enters into the mouth defiles the man; but what goes forth out of the mouth, this defiles the man.
12 Bongo bayekoli bapusanaki pene ya Yesu mpe bayebisaki Ye: — Boni, oyebi te ete maloba oyo olobi ebetisi Bafarizeo mabaku?
Then his disciples, coming up, said to him, Dost thou know that the Pharisees, having heard this word, have been offended?
13 Yesu azongisaki: — Nkona nyonso oyo Tata na Ngai ya Likolo alonaki te ekopikolama.
But he answering said, Every plant which my heavenly Father has not planted shall be rooted up.
14 Botika bango; bazali bakufi miso oyo bazali kotambolisa bakufi miso mosusu. Nzokande, soki mokufi miso azali kotambolisa mokufi miso mosusu, bango mibale bakokweya solo kati na libulu.
Leave them alone; they are blind leaders of blind: but if blind lead blind, both will fall into a ditch.
15 Petelo azwaki maloba mpe alobaki na Yesu: — Limbolela biso lisese oyo.
And Peter answering said to him, Expound to us this parable.
16 Yesu atunaki bango: — Bino mpe, boni, bozwi nanu bososoli te?
But he said, Are ye also still without intelligence?
17 Bozali kaka kososola te ete nyonso oyo ekotaka na monoko ekendaka na libumu mpe, na sima, ebwakamaka na libulu ya zongo?
Do ye not yet apprehend, that everything that enters into the mouth finds its way into the belly, and is cast forth into the draught?
18 Kasi oyo ebimaka na monoko, ewutaka nde na motema, mpe yango nde ekomisaka moto mbindo.
but the things which go forth out of the mouth come out of the heart, and those defile man.
19 Pamba te, na motema nde ewutaka makanisi mabe, koboma, ekobo, kindumba, moyibi, litatoli ya lokuta mpe mafinga.
For out of the heart come forth evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, false witnessings, blasphemies;
20 Ezali makambo wana nde ekomisaka moto mbindo; kasi kozanga kosukola maboko liboso ya kolia ekomisaka moto mbindo te.
these are the things which defile man; but the eating with unwashen hands does not defile man.
21 Yesu alongwaki wana mpe akendeki na etuka ya Tiri mpe ya Sidoni.
And Jesus, going forth from thence, went away into the parts of Tyre and Sidon;
22 Mwasi moko ya mboka Kanana azalaki kovanda na etuka yango, ayaki epai ya Yesu mpe akomaki koganga: — Nkolo, Mwana ya Davidi, yokela ngai mawa! Mwana na ngai ya mwasi azali na se ya bokonzi ya molimo mabe oyo ezali mpe konyokola ye makasi.
and lo, a Canaanitish woman, coming out from those borders, cried [to him] saying, Have pity on me, Lord, Son of David; my daughter is miserably possessed by a demon.
23 Kasi Yesu azongiselaki ye ata liloba te. Bayekoli bapusanaki pene ya Yesu mpe basengaki na Ye: — Bengana ye; azali kotiela biso makelele!
But he did not answer her a word. And his disciples came to [him] and asked him, saying, Dismiss her, for she cries after us.
24 Yesu azongisaki: — Natindamaki kaka epai ya bameme ebunga ya Isalaele!
But he answering said, I have not been sent save to the lost sheep of Israel's house.
25 Kasi mwasi yango ayaki, agumbamaki liboso ya Yesu mpe alobaki: — Nkolo, sunga ngai!
But she came and did him homage, saying, Lord, help me.
26 Yesu azongisaki: — Ezali malamu te kokamata lipa ya bana mpo na kobwakela yango bambwa!
But he answering said, It is not well to take the bread of the children and cast it to the dogs.
27 Mwasi yango alobaki: — Nkolo, ezali penza ya solo; kasi bambwa eliaka biteni ya lipa, oyo ekweyaka wuta na mesa ya bankolo na yango!
But she said, Yea, Lord; for even the dogs eat of the crumbs which fall from the table of their masters.
28 Bongo Yesu alobaki na ye: — Mwasi, kondima na yo ezali monene! Tika ete esalemela yo ndenge ezali posa na yo! Mpe kaka na tango wana, mwana na ye ya mwasi abikaki.
Then Jesus answering said to her, O woman, thy faith [is] great. Be it to thee as thou desirest. And her daughter was healed from that hour.
29 Yesu alongwaki wana mpe akendeki na ebale ya Galile; amataki likolo ya ngomba mpe avandaki kuna.
And Jesus, going away from thence, came towards the sea of Galilee, and he went up into the mountain and sat down there;
30 Bato ebele bayaki epai na Ye; bamemaki bato oyo batambolaka tengu-tengu, bakufi miso, bababa, bato oyo bakufa makolo to maboko mpe bato mosusu ebele. Batiaki bango na makolo ya Yesu, mpe Yesu abikisaki bango.
and great crowds came to him, having with them lame, blind, dumb, crippled, and many others, and they cast them at his feet, and he healed them:
31 Mpe bato bakamwaki mingi tango bamonaki ete bababa bakomi koloba, bato oyo bakufa makolo to maboko babiki, bato oyo batambolaka tengu-tengu bakomi kotambola malamu mpe bakufi miso bakomi komona. Bongo bakumisaki Nzambe ya Isalaele.
so that the crowds wondered, seeing dumb speaking, crippled sound, lame walking, and blind seeing; and they glorified the God of Israel.
32 Yesu abengaki bayekoli na Ye mpe alobaki: — Nazali koyokela ebele ya bato oyo mawa makasi, pamba te basali mikolo misato elongo na Ngai mpe bazali na eloko ya kolia te. Naboyi kozongisa bango na nzala, noki te bakolemba nzoto na nzela.
But Jesus, having called his disciples to [him], said, I have compassion on the crowd, because they have stayed with me already three days and they have not anything they can eat, and I would not send them away fasting lest they should faint on the way.
33 Bayekoli na Ye bazongisaki: — Kati na esobe oyo, esika nini tokozwa mapa mpo na koleisa ebele ya bato boye?
And his disciples say to him, Whence should we have so many loaves in [the] wilderness as to satisfy so great a crowd?
34 Yesu atunaki bango: — Bozali na mapa boni? Bayekoli bazongisaki: — Tozali na mapa sambo mpe ndambo ya bambisi ya mike-mike.
And Jesus says to them, How many loaves have ye? But they said, Seven, and a few small fishes.
35 Yesu alobaki na ebele ya bato yango ete bavanda na mabele.
And he commanded the crowds to lie down on the ground;
36 Bongo azwaki mapa yango sambo mpe bambisi, azongisaki matondi epai ya Nzambe, akataki yango mpe apesaki biteni na yango epai ya bayekoli na Ye; mpe bayekoli bakabolaki yango epai ya bato.
and having taken the seven loaves and the fishes, having given thanks, he broke [them] and gave [them] to his disciples, and the disciples to the crowd.
37 Bato nyonso baliaki mpe batondaki. Bongo bayekoli balokotaki biteni oyo etikalaki, batondisaki na yango bitunga sambo.
And all ate and were filled; and they took up what was over and above of the fragments seven baskets full;
38 Motango ya bato oyo baliaki ezalaki nkoto minei, longola basi mpe bana.
but they that ate were four thousand men, besides women and children.
39 Sima na Yesu kozongisa bato, amataki kati na bwato mpe akendeki na etuka ya Magadani.
And, having dismissed the crowds, he went on board ship and came to the borders of Magadan.
