Matayo 17
1 Sima na mikolo motoba, Yesu azwaki Petelo, Jake mpe Yoane, ndeko mobali ya Jake; amemaki bango na pembeni, na likolo ya ngomba moko ya molayi.
And after six days Jesus taketh Peter, James, and John his brother, and bringeth them up into an high mountain apart,
2 Yesu abongolamaki na miso na bango: elongi na Ye ekomaki kongenga lokola moyi, bilamba na Ye ekomaki pembe makasi lokola pole.
And was transfigured before them: and his face did shine as the sun, and his raiment was white as the light.
3 Mbala moko, bamonaki Moyize mpe Eliya bazali kosolola na Yesu.
And, behold, there appeared unto them Moses and Elijah talking with him.
4 Petelo alobaki na Yesu: — Nkolo, eleki malamu mpo na biso kotikala awa! Soki ondimi, nakotonga bandako misato ya kapo: moko mpo na Yo, moko mpo na Moyize, mpe moko mpo na Eliya!
Then answered Peter, and said unto Jesus, Lord, it is good for us to be here: if thou wilt, let us make here three tabernacles; one for thee, and one for Moses, and one for Elijah.
5 Wana azalaki nanu koloba, lipata moko ezalaki kongenga lokola moyi, ezipaki bango, mpe mongongo moko eyokanaki wuta kati na lipata yango: « Oyo azali Mwana na Ngai ya bolingo, nasepelaka na Ye mingi; boyoka Ye! »
While he yet spake, behold, a bright cloud overshadowed them: and behold a voice out of the cloud, which said, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased; hear ye him.
6 Tango bayekoli bayokaki mongongo yango, bakweyaki bilongi kino na mabele mpo ete somo makasi ekangaki bango.
And when the disciples heard it, they fell on their face, and were sore afraid.
7 Kasi Yesu apusanaki pene na bango, asimbaki bango mpe alobaki: — Botelema, bobanga te!
And Jesus came and touched them, and said, Arise, and be not afraid.
8 Batombolaki miso mpe bamonaki moto mosusu te, kaka Yesu.
And when they had lifted up their eyes, they saw no man, save Jesus only.
9 Wana bazalaki kokita na ngomba, Yesu apesaki bango mitindo oyo: — Makambo oyo bowuti komona, boyebisa yango na moto moko te kino tango Mwana na Moto akosekwa kati na bakufi.
And as they came down from the mountain, Jesus charged them, saying, Tell the vision to no man, until the Son of man be risen again from the dead.
10 Bayekoli batunaki Yesu: — Mpo na nini balakisi ya Mobeko balobaka ete Eliya asengeli koya moto ya liboso?
And his disciples asked him, saying, Why then say the scribes that Elijah must first come?
11 Yesu azongisaki: — Solo, Eliya asengeli koya mpe akozongisa makambo nyonso na molongo.
And Jesus answered and said unto them, Elijah truly shall first come, and restore all things.
12 Kasi Ngai, nazali koloba na bino ete Eliya asilaki koya; kasi na esika ya koyeba ye, basalaki ye ndenge balingaki. Ezali mpe ndenge wana nde bakonyokola Mwana na Moto.
But I say unto you, That Elijah is come already, and they knew him not, but have done unto him whatsoever they listed. Likewise shall also the Son of man suffer of them.
13 Bayekoli basosolaki ete azalaki kolobela bango na tina na Yoane Mobatisi.
Then the disciples understood that he spake unto them of John the Baptist.
14 Tango bakomaki pene ya esika oyo ebele ya bato bazalaki, moto moko apusanaki pene na Yesu, afukamaki liboso na Ye mpe alobaki:
And when they were come to the multitude, there came to him a certain man, kneeling down to him, and saying,
15 — Nkolo, yokela mwana na ngai ya mobali mawa! Azali na maladi ya ndeke mpe azali penza komona pasi: akweyaka mbala mingi na moto to na mayi.
Lord, have mercy on my son: for he is lunatick, and sore vexed: for ofttimes he falleth into the fire, and oft into the water.
16 Namemaki ye epai ya bayekoli na Yo, kasi bakoki te kobikisa ye.
And I brought him to thy disciples, and they could not cure him.
17 Yesu alobaki: — Ekeke ya bato mabe mpe bazanga kondima! Kino tango nini nakozala na bino elongo? Kino tango nini nakokanga motema mpo na bino? Bomemela Ngai mwana yango.
Then Jesus answered and said, O faithless and perverse generation, how long shall I be with you? how long shall I suffer you? bring him hither to me.
18 Yesu abenganaki molimo mabe, mpe molimo mabe yango ebimaki kati na mwana. Kaka na tango yango, mwana abikaki.
And Jesus rebuked the devil; and he departed out of him: and the child was cured from that very hour.
19 Bongo bayekoli bakendeki na nkuku epai ya Yesu mpe batunaki: — Mpo na nini, biso, tolongaki te kobengana molimo yango?
Then came the disciples to Jesus apart, and said, Why could not we cast him out?
20 Yesu azongiselaki bango: — Ezali mpo ete bozali na kondima moke. Nazali koloba na bino penza ya solo: soki kondima na bino ezalaki lokola mbuma ya mutarde, bokokaki koloba na ngomba oyo: « Longwa awa, kende kuna; » mpe ekokende penza. Eloko moko te ekoki kozanga kosalemela bino. [
And Jesus said unto them, Because of your unbelief: for verily I say unto you, If ye have faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye shall say unto this mountain, Remove hence to yonder place; and it shall remove; and nothing shall be impossible unto you.
21 Kasi lolenge oyo ya milimo mabe ebimaka kaka na nzela ya mabondeli mpe ya kokila bilei.]
Howbeit this kind goeth not out but by prayer and fasting.
22 Mokolo moko, bayekoli basanganaki bango nyonso kati na Galile; Yesu alobaki na bango: — Bakokaba Mwana na Moto na maboko ya bato,
And while they abode in Galilee, Jesus said unto them, The Son of man shall be betrayed into the hands of men:
23 bakoboma Ye, mpe, na mokolo ya misato, akosekwa. Bayekoli bayokaki mawa mingi.
And they shall kill him, and the third day he shall be raised again. And they were exceeding sorry.
24 Tango Yesu mpe bayekoli na Ye bakomaki na Kapernawumi, bafutisi mpako ya Ndako ya Nzambe bayaki epai ya Petelo mpe batunaki: — Boni, moteyi na bino afutaka mpako ya Ndako ya Nzambe te?
And when they were come to Capernaum, they that received tribute money came to Peter, and said, Doth not your master pay tribute?
25 Petelo azongisaki: — Afutaka! Tango Petelo akotaki na ndako, Yesu azwaki maloba moto ya liboso mpe atunaki ye: — Simona, okanisi nini? Banani bafutaka mpako epai ya bakonzi ya mokili: bana na bango to bapaya?
He saith, Yes. And when he was come into the house, Jesus prevented him, saying, What thinkest thou, Simon? of whom do the kings of the earth take custom or tribute? of their own children, or of strangers?
26 Petelo azongisaki: — Bapaya. Yesu alobaki na ye: — Lokola ezali bongo, bana mboka basengeli kofuta te.
Peter saith unto him, Of strangers. Jesus saith unto him, Then are the children free.
27 Nzokande, mpo ete totia mobulu te kati na makanisi na bango, kende na ebale, bwaka ndobo na mayi mpe kamata mbisi oyo okozwa ya liboso; fungola monoko na yango mpe okomona mbongo moko ya bibende kati na yango; kamata mbongo yango mpe futa mpako na Ngai mpe mpako na yo, na maboko na bango.
Notwithstanding, lest we should offend them, go thou to the sea, and cast an hook, and take up the fish that first cometh up; and when thou hast opened his mouth, thou shalt find a piece of money: that take, and give unto them for me and thee.
