Matayo 15
1 Bafarizeo mpe balakisi ya Mobeko oyo bawutaki na Yelusalemi bayaki epai ya Yesu mpe balobaki na Ye:
Then came to Jesus scribes and Pharisees, which were of Jerusalem, 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 the tradition of the elders? for they wash not 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 answered and said unto them, Why do ye also transgress the commandment of God by your tradition?
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 thy father and mother: and, He that curseth 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 his mother, It is a gift, by whatsoever thou mightest be profited by me;
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 honour not his father or his mother, he shall be free. Thus have ye made the commandment of God of none effect by your tradition.
7 Bato ya bilongi mibale! Ezayi asakola penza malamu na tina na bino:
Ye hypocrites, well did Isaiah prophesy of you, saying,
8 « Bato oyo bapesaka Ngai lokumu kaka na bibebu, kasi mitema na bango ezali mosika na Ngai;
This people draweth nigh unto me with their mouth, and honoureth me with their lips; but their heart is far from me.
9 basambelaka Ngai kaka na pamba, mateya na bango ezali kaka mibeko ya bomoto. »
But in vain they do worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men.
10 Yesu abengaki ebele ya bato wana mpe alobaki na bango: — Boyoka mpe bososola makambo oyo:
And he called the multitude, and said unto 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 that which goeth into the mouth defileth a man; but that which cometh out of the mouth, this defileth a man.
12 Bongo bayekoli bapusanaki pene ya Yesu mpe bayebisaki Ye: — Boni, oyebi te ete maloba oyo olobi ebetisi Bafarizeo mabaku?
Then came his disciples, and said unto him, Knowest thou that the Pharisees were offended, after they heard this saying?
13 Yesu azongisaki: — Nkona nyonso oyo Tata na Ngai ya Likolo alonaki te ekopikolama.
But he answered and said, Every plant, which my heavenly Father hath 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.
Let them alone: they be blind leaders of the blind. And if the blind lead the blind, both shall fall into the ditch.
15 Petelo azwaki maloba mpe alobaki na Yesu: — Limbolela biso lisese oyo.
Then answered Peter and said unto him, Declare unto us this parable.
16 Yesu atunaki bango: — Bino mpe, boni, bozwi nanu bososoli te?
And Jesus said, Are ye also yet without understanding?
17 Bozali kaka kososola te ete nyonso oyo ekotaka na monoko ekendaka na libumu mpe, na sima, ebwakamaka na libulu ya zongo?
Do not ye yet understand, that whatsoever entereth in at the mouth goeth into the belly, and is cast out into the draught?
18 Kasi oyo ebimaka na monoko, ewutaka nde na motema, mpe yango nde ekomisaka moto mbindo.
But those things which proceed out of the mouth come forth from the heart; and they defile the man.
19 Pamba te, na motema nde ewutaka makanisi mabe, koboma, ekobo, kindumba, moyibi, litatoli ya lokuta mpe mafinga.
For out of the heart proceed evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, false witness, 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 a man: but to eat with unwashen hands defileth not a man.
21 Yesu alongwaki wana mpe akendeki na etuka ya Tiri mpe ya Sidoni.
Then Jesus went thence, and departed into the coasts 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, behold, a woman of Canaan came out of the same coasts, and cried unto him, saying, Have mercy on me, O Lord, thou Son of David; my daughter is grievously vexed with a devil.
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 answered her not a word. And his disciples came and besought him, saying, Send her away; for she crieth after us.
24 Yesu azongisaki: — Natindamaki kaka epai ya bameme ebunga ya Isalaele!
But he answered and said, I am not sent but unto the lost sheep of the house of Israel.
25 Kasi mwasi yango ayaki, agumbamaki liboso ya Yesu mpe alobaki: — Nkolo, sunga ngai!
Then came she and worshipped him, saying, Lord, help me.
26 Yesu azongisaki: — Ezali malamu te kokamata lipa ya bana mpo na kobwakela yango bambwa!
But he answered and said, It is not meet to take the children’s bread, and to cast it to 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!
And she said, Truth, Lord: yet the dogs eat of the crumbs which fall from their masters’ table.
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 answered and said unto her, O woman, great is thy faith: be it unto thee even as thou wilt. And her daughter was made whole from that very hour.
29 Yesu alongwaki wana mpe akendeki na ebale ya Galile; amataki likolo ya ngomba mpe avandaki kuna.
And Jesus departed from thence, and came nigh unto the sea of Galilee; and went up into a 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 multitudes came unto him, having with them those that were lame, blind, dumb, maimed, and many others, and cast them down at Jesus’ 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.
Insomuch that the multitude wondered, when they saw the dumb to speak, the maimed to be whole, the lame to walk, and the blind to see: 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.
Then Jesus called his disciples unto him, and said, I have compassion on the multitude, because they continue with me now three days, and have nothing to eat: and I will not send them away fasting, lest they faint in 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 unto him, Whence should we have so much bread in the wilderness, as to fill so great a multitude?
34 Yesu atunaki bango: — Bozali na mapa boni? Bayekoli bazongisaki: — Tozali na mapa sambo mpe ndambo ya bambisi ya mike-mike.
And Jesus saith unto them, How many loaves have ye? And they said, Seven, and a few little fishes.
35 Yesu alobaki na ebele ya bato yango ete bavanda na mabele.
And he commanded the multitude to sit 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 he took the seven loaves and the fishes, and gave thanks, and brake them, and gave to his disciples, and the disciples to the multitude.
37 Bato nyonso baliaki mpe batondaki. Bongo bayekoli balokotaki biteni oyo etikalaki, batondisaki na yango bitunga sambo.
And they did all eat, and were filled: and they took up of the broken meat that was left seven baskets full.
38 Motango ya bato oyo baliaki ezalaki nkoto minei, longola basi mpe bana.
And they that did eat were four thousand men, beside women and children.
39 Sima na Yesu kozongisa bato, amataki kati na bwato mpe akendeki na etuka ya Magadani.
And he sent away the multitude, and took ship, and came into the coasts of Magdala.
