Matayo 19
1 Tango Yesu asilisaki koloba makambo wana, alongwaki na Galile mpe akendeki na etuka ya Yuda, na ngambo mosusu ya Yordani.
And it came to pass when Jesus finished these sermons, He departed from Galilee, and came into the coasts of Judea, beyond the Jordan.
2 Ebele penza ya bato balandaki Ye, mpe abikisaki bango kuna.
And many multitudes followed Him; and He healed them there.
3 Bafarizeo bapusanaki pene na Ye mpo na komeka Ye; bapesaki Ye motuna: — Boni, mibeko na biso epesi nzela na mobali ya kobengana mwasi na ye na libala mpo na likambo songolo?
And the Pharisees came to Him, tempting Him, and saying to Him; Is it lawful for a man to send away his wife for any cause?
4 Yesu azongisaki: — Boni, botangi te ete, na ebandeli, Mokeli « akelaki bango mobali mpe mwasi, »
And He responding said to them, Have you not read, that the one having made them from the beginning made them male and female?
5 mpe ete alobaki: « Yango wana mobali akotika tata na ye mpe mama na ye, akosangana na mwasi na ye, bongo bango mibale bakokoma nzoto moko?
And He said, On account of this a man shall leave father and mother, and cleave unto his wife; and they two shall be one flesh.
6 Boye, bazali lisusu bato mibale te, kasi bakomi moto moko. Tika ete moto akabola te oyo Nzambe asangisi! »
So they are no longer two, but one flesh: therefore what God joined together, let no man separate.
7 Kasi Bafarizeo balobaki na Ye: — Bongo mpo na nini Moyize atindaki ete mobali apesa mwasi na ye mokanda ya koboma libala soki bakabwani na libala?
They say to Him, Then why did Moses command to give a book of divorcement, and to send her away?
8 Yesu azongiselaki bango: — Moyize apesaki bino nzela ya kobengana basi na bino na mabala, pamba te mitema na bino ezali mabanga; na ebandeli, ezalaki bongo te.
He says to them, Moses on account of the hardness of your heart permitted you to send away your wives: but from the beginning it was not so.
9 Nazali koloba na bino: Soki mobali alongoli mwasi na ye na libala, longola kaka soki akweyaki na ekobo, mpe abali mwasi mosusu asali ekobo.
But I say unto you, That whosoever may send away his wife, not for fornication, and may marry another, commits adultery.
10 Bayekoli balobaki na Ye: — Soki mobali asengeli kozala bongo liboso ya mwasi na ye, wana eleki malamu mpo na mobali ete abala te!
His disciples say to Him, If the cause of a man with his wife is thus, it is better not to marry.
11 Yesu azongiselaki bango: — Mibali nyonso bakoki kondima mateya oyo te, kaka ba-oyo bapesameli makoki mpo na yango.
And He said to them, All do not receive this word, but those to whom it has been given.
12 Ezali na tina misato oyo esalaka ete mibali mosusu babala te: ezali na mibali oyo, wuta na mabumu ya bamama na bango, bakoki kobala te; ezali na mibali oyo baboma bango mokongo; ezali mpe lisusu na mibali oyo bango moko baboya kobala mpo na Bokonzi ya Likolo. Tika ete moto oyo azali na makoki ya kondima mateya oyo andima yango!
For there are eunuchs, who have been so born from the womb of their mother. And there are eunuchs, who have been eunuchized by men: and there are eunuchs, who eunuchized themselves for the sake of the kingdom of the heavens. He who is able to receive it, let him receive it.
13 Bato bamemaki bana mike epai ya Yesu mpo ete atia bango maboko mpe asambela mpo na bango. Kasi bayekoli bapamelaki bato oyo bamemaki bana yango.
Then little children were brought to Him, that He might put His hands on them, and pray. And the disciples rebuked them.
14 Yesu alobaki: — Botika bana mike baya epai na Ngai, bopekisa bango te koya epai na Ngai; pamba te Bokonzi ya Likolo ezali mpo na bato oyo bazali lokola bango.
But Jesus said, Suffer the little children, and forbid them not, to come unto me: for of such is the kingdom of the heavens.
15 Atielaki bango maboko, mpe alongwaki wana.
And putting His hands on them, he departed thence.
16 Elenge mobali moko apusanaki pene na Yesu mpe atunaki: — Moteyi, likambo nini ya malamu nasengeli kosala mpo ete nazwa bomoi ya seko? (aiōnios g166)
Behold, one coming to Him said, Good Teacher, what good thing shall I do, in order that I may have eternal life? (aiōnios g166)
17 Yesu azongisaki: — Mpo na nini ozali kotuna Ngai na tina na oyo ezali malamu? Moko kaka azali malamu. Soki olingi kokota kati na bomoi, tosa mibeko.
And He said to him, Why do you ask me concerning the good One? One is good. If you wish to enter into life, keep the commandments.
18 Elenge mobali yango atunaki lisusu: — Mibeko nini? Yesu azongisaki: — Okobomaka te, okosalaka ekobo te, okoyibaka te, okolobaka litatoli ya lokuta te,
He says to Him, What? And Jesus said to him, Thou shalt not murder, thou shalt not commit adultery, thou shalt hot steal, thou shalt not bear false witness,
19 okotosaka tata mpe mama na yo mpe okolingaka moninga na yo ndenge yo moko omilingaka.
honor the father and the mother, and thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself.
20 Elenge mobali alobaki: — Natosaka mibeko wana nyonso; nasala lisusu nini?
The young man says to Him, All these have I kept from my youth: what lack I yet?
21 Yesu azongisaki: — Soki olingi kozala moto ya kokoka, kende, teka biloko na yo mpe pesa epai ya babola mbongo oyo okozwa; bongo okozwa bomengo kati na Likolo. Sima na yango, yaka mpe landa Ngai.
Jesus said to him, If you wish to be perfect, go, sell your possessions, and give to the poor, and you shall have treasure in heaven: and come, follow me.
22 Tango elenge mobali ayokaki bongo, akendeki na mawa, pamba te azalaki na bozwi mingi.
And the young man hearing the word, went away sorrowful: for he had great possessions.
23 Yesu alobaki na bayekoli na Ye: — Nazali koloba na bino penza ya solo: ezali pasi mpo na mozwi kokota kati na Bokonzi ya Likolo!
And Jesus said to His disciples, Truly I say unto you, that a rich man will hardly enter into the kingdom of the heavens.
24 Nazali koloba na bino lisusu: ezali pete mpo na shamo kolekela na lidusu ya tonga, kasi ezali penza pasi mpo na mozwi kokota kati na Bokonzi ya Nzambe.
And again I say to you, It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to go into the kingdom of God.
25 Tango bayekoli bayokaki Yesu koloba bongo, bakamwaki mingi mpe bakomaki kotunana: — Bongo nani penza akoki kobikisama?
And the disciples hearing, were astonished exceedingly, saying, Who then is able to be saved?
26 Wana Yesu atalaki bango, alobaki: — Na bato, ekoki kosalema te; kasi na Nzambe, nyonso ekoki kosalema!
And Jesus looking on them said; With men this is impossible; but all things are possible with God.
27 Petelo azwaki maloba mpe alobaki na Yesu: — Biso, totiki nyonso mpo na kolanda Yo! Ekozala boni mpo na biso?
Then Peter responding said to Him, Behold, we have left all things, and followed Thee; what then shall be to us?
28 Yesu alobaki na bango: — Nazali koloba na bino penza ya solo: tango makambo nyonso ekokoma ya sika, tango Mwana na Moto akovanda na Kiti ya Bokonzi na Ye ya nkembo, bino bato oyo bozali kolanda Ngai, bino mpe bokovanda na bakiti zomi na mibale ya bokonzi, mpo na koyangela mabota zomi na mibale ya Isalaele.
And Jesus said to them, Truly I say unto you, that you who have followed me, in the regeneration when the Son of man may sit upon the throne of His glory, you shall also sit upon twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.
29 Mpe moto nyonso oyo atiki bandako, bandeko ya mibali, bandeko ya basi, tata, mama, bana to bilanga mpo na Kombo na Ngai akozwa yango koleka mbala nkama elongo na bomoi ya seko. (aiōnios g166)
And every one who has left houses, or brothers, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or lands, on account of my name, shall receive a hundred-fold, and inherit eternal life. (aiōnios g166)
30 Kati na bato oyo bazali sik’oyo bato ya liboso, ebele bakokoma bato ya suka; mpe kati na ba-oyo bazali sik’oyo bato ya suka, ebele bakokoma bato ya liboso.
But many who are first shall be last, and the last first.
