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, that when Jesus had finished these sayings, he departed from Galilee, and came into the coasts of Judaea beyond Jordan;
2 Ebele penza ya bato balandaki Ye, mpe abikisaki bango kuna.
And great 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?
The Pharisees also came unto him, tempting him, and saying unto him, Is it lawful for a man to put away his wife for every cause?
4 Yesu azongisaki: — Boni, botangi te ete, na ebandeli, Mokeli « akelaki bango mobali mpe mwasi, »
And he answered and said unto them, Have ye not read, that he which made them at 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 said, For this cause shall a man leave father and mother, and shall cleave to his wife: and they twain shall be one flesh?
6 Boye, bazali lisusu bato mibale te, kasi bakomi moto moko. Tika ete moto akabola te oyo Nzambe asangisi! »
Wherefore they are no more twain, but one flesh. What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder.
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 unto him, Why did Moses then command to give a writing of divorcement, and to put 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 saith unto them, Moses because of the hardness of your hearts suffered you to put 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.
And I say unto you, Whosoever shall put away his wife, except it be for fornication, and shall marry another, committeth adultery: and whoso marrieth her which is put away doth commit 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 unto him, If the case of the man be so with his wife, it is not good to marry.
11 Yesu azongiselaki bango: — Mibali nyonso bakoki kondima mateya oyo te, kaka ba-oyo bapesameli makoki mpo na yango.
But he said unto them, All men cannot receive this saying, save they to whom it is 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 some eunuchs, which were so born from their mother’s womb: and there are some eunuchs, which were made eunuchs of men: and there be eunuchs, which have made themselves eunuchs for the kingdom of heaven’s sake. He that 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 were there brought unto him little children, that he should 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 little children, and forbid them not, to come unto me: for of such is the kingdom of heaven.
15 Atielaki bango maboko, mpe alongwaki wana.
And he laid his hands on them, and 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)
And, behold, one came and said unto him, Good Master, what good thing shall I do, 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 unto him, Why callest thou me good? there is none good but one, that is, God: but if thou wilt 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 saith unto him, Which? Jesus said, Thou shalt do no murder, Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not bear false witness,
19 okotosaka tata mpe mama na yo mpe okolingaka moninga na yo ndenge yo moko omilingaka.
Honour thy father and thy mother: and, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.
20 Elenge mobali alobaki: — Natosaka mibeko wana nyonso; nasala lisusu nini?
The young man saith unto him, All these things have I kept from my youth up: 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 unto him, If thou wilt be perfect, go and sell that thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come and follow me.
22 Tango elenge mobali ayokaki bongo, akendeki na mawa, pamba te azalaki na bozwi mingi.
But when the young man heard that saying, he 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!
Then said Jesus unto his disciples, Verily I say unto you, That a rich man shall hardly enter into the kingdom of heaven.
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 unto you, It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God.
25 Tango bayekoli bayokaki Yesu koloba bongo, bakamwaki mingi mpe bakomaki kotunana: — Bongo nani penza akoki kobikisama?
When his disciples heard it, they were exceedingly amazed, saying, Who then can be saved?
26 Wana Yesu atalaki bango, alobaki: — Na bato, ekoki kosalema te; kasi na Nzambe, nyonso ekoki kosalema!
But Jesus beheld them, and said unto them, With men this is impossible; but with God all things are possible.
27 Petelo azwaki maloba mpe alobaki na Yesu: — Biso, totiki nyonso mpo na kolanda Yo! Ekozala boni mpo na biso?
Then answered Peter and said unto him, Behold, we have forsaken all, and followed thee; what shall we have therefore?
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 unto them, Verily I say unto you, That ye which have followed me, in the regeneration when the Son of man shall sit in the throne of his glory, ye also shall 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 that hath forsaken houses, or brethren, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or lands, for my name’s sake, shall receive an hundredfold, and shall inherit everlasting 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 that are first shall be last; and the last shall be first.
