Matayo 21
1 Wana bazalaki kopusana pene ya Yelusalemi mpe bakomaki pene ya Betifaje, na ngomba ya banzete ya olive, Yesu atindaki bayekoli mibale.
When they were nigh Jerusalem, being come to Bethphage, near the Mount of Olives, Jesus sent two of his disciples,
2 Alobaki na bango: — Bokende na mboka oyo ezali liboso na bino; tango kaka bokokota na mboka yango, bokomona ane ya mwasi bakanga na singa, mpe mwana ya ane pembeni na yango; bofungola nyonso mibale mpe bomemela Ngai yango.
saying, Go to the village opposite to you, where you will find an ass tied, and her colt with her; loose them, and bring them hither.
3 Soki moto moko alobi na bino likambo na tina na yango, bozongisela ye: « Nkolo azali na bosenga na yango. » Mpe, mbala moko, akotika yango kokende.
If any man say anything to you, say, Your Master wants them, and he will send them directly.
4 Makambo wana nyonso esalemaki mpo ete maloba oyo mosakoli aloba ekokisama:
Now all this was done, that the words of the Prophet might be fulfilled,
5 « Boloba na Siona, mboka kitoko: ‹ Tala, mokonzi na yo azali koya epai na yo, atonda na boboto, avandi na likolo ya ane ya mwasi, na likolo ya mwana ya ane, mwana ya nyama oyo ememaka mikumba. › »
"Say to the daughters of Zion, behold your King comes to you lowly, riding on an ass, even the colt of a laboring beast."
6 Bayekoli bakendeki mpe basalaki ndenge kaka Yesu atindaki bango.
Accordingly the disciples went, and having done as Jesus had commanded them,
7 Bamemaki ane ya mwasi elongo na mwana ya ane, batandaki bilamba na bango na mikongo na yango; mpe Yesu avandaki na likolo na yango.
brought the ass and the colt, and covering them with their mantles, made him ride.
8 Bato ebele batandaki bilamba na bango na nzela; bamosusu bakataki bitape na likolo ya banzete mpe batandaki yango lisusu na nzela.
Now the greater part spread their mantles in the way; others lopped branches off the trees, and strowed them in the way,
9 Bato oyo bazalaki kotambola liboso ya Yesu mpe ba-oyo bazalaki kolanda sima bazalaki koganga: « Ozana na Mwana na Davidi! Tika ete apambolama, Ye oyo ayei na Kombo ya Nkolo! Ozana na bisika oyo eleki Likolo! »
while the crowd that went before and that followed, shouted, saying, Hosanna to the Son of David! Blessed be he that comes in the name of the Lord! Hosanna in the highest heaven!
10 Tango Yesu akotaki kati na Yelusalemi, engumba mobimba eninganaki; bazalaki kotuna: — Oyo lisusu nani?
When he entered Jerusalem, the whole city was in an uproar, everybody asking, Who is this?
11 Bato bazalaki kozongisa: — Ezali mosakoli Yesu, moto ya Nazareti ya Galile!
The crowd answered, It is Jesus, the prophet of Nazareth, in Galilee.
12 Yesu akotaki kati na lopango ya Tempelo, abenganaki bato nyonso oyo bazalaki koteka mpe kosomba biloko kati na Tempelo; abalolaki bamesa ya bato oyo bazalaki kobongola mbongo mpe bakiti ya ba-oyo bazalaki koteka bibenga.
Then Jesus went into the temple of God, and drove thence all who sold and who brought in the temple, and overturned the tables of the money-changers, and the stalls of those who sold doves,
13 Alobaki na bango: — Ekomama: « Ndako na Ngai ekobengama Ndako ya losambo; » kasi bino, bozali kokomisa yango penza nganda ya miyibi!
and said to them, It is written, "My house shall be called a house of prayer, but you have made it a den of robbers."
14 Bakufi miso mpe bato oyo batambola tengu-tengu bapusanaki pene na Yesu kati na lopango ya Tempelo, mpe abikisaki bango.
Then the blind and the lame came to him in the temple, and he healed them.
15 Bakonzi ya Banganga-Nzambe mpe balakisi ya Mobeko basilikaki makasi tango bamonaki bikamwa oyo Yesu asalaki mpe ndenge bana bazalaki koganga kati na lopango ya Tempelo: « Ozana na Mwana na Davidi! »
But the chief priests and the scribes, seeing the wonders which he performed, and the boys crying in the temple, Hosanna to the Son of David,
16 Balobaki na Yesu: — Ozali koyoka makambo oyo bazali koloba? Yesu azongiselaki bango: — Iyo! Boni, botikala nanu kotanga te: « Wuta na minoko ya bana mike, mpe ya bana oyo bazali nanu komela mabele, ozwaki lokumu na Yo? »
said to him with indignation, Do you hear what these say? Jesus answered, Yes. Have you never read, "From the mouth of infants and sucklings thou hast procured praise?"
17 Bongo atikaki bango, abimaki longwa na engumba mpe akendeki na Betani epai wapi alekisaki butu.
And leaving them, he went out of the city of Bethany, where he remained that night.
18 Na tongo-tongo ya mokolo oyo elandaki, wana azalaki kozonga na engumba, ayokaki nzala.
Returning to the city in the morning, he was hungry,
19 Amonaki nzete moko ya figi pembeni ya nzela, apusanaki pene na yango; kasi amonaki eloko moko te na nzete yango, kaka makasa. Alobaki na nzete yango: — Okobotaka lisusu mbuma te mpo na libela. Mpe kaka na tango wana, nzete ya figi ekawukaki. (aiōn g165)
and seeing a single fig tree by the road, he went to it; but finding only leaves on it, said, Let no fruit grow on you henceforward. And the fig tree withered forthwith. (aiōn g165)
20 Tango bayekoli bamonaki bongo, bakamwaki mingi mpe batunaki: — Ndenge nini nzete ya figi ekawuki kaka boye na mbala moko?
When the disciples saw it, they said with astonishment, how soon is the fig tree withered?
21 Yesu azongiselaki bango: — Nazali koloba na bino penza ya solo: soki bozali na kondima mpe botie tembe te, bokoki kaka te kosala makambo oyo Ngai nasali na nzete ya figi oyo, kasi bokoki mpe koloba na ngomba wana: « Longwa wana mpe mibwaka na ebale, » yango ekosalema solo.
Jesus answered, Indeed, I say to you, if you have an unshaken faith, you may not only do as much as is done to the fig tree, but even if you should say to this mountain, Be lifted up, and thrown into the sea, it shall be done.
22 Soki bozali na kondima, bokozwa nyonso oyo bokosenga kati na losambo.
Whatsoever you shall ask in prayer, with faith, you shall receive.
23 Yesu akotaki na lopango ya Tempelo; mpe wana azalaki koteya, bakonzi ya Banganga-Nzambe mpe bakambi ya bato bapusanaki pene na Ye. Batunaki: — Na kombo ya bokonzi nini ozali kosala biloko oyo? Nani apesi yo bokonzi yango?
Being come into the temple, the chief priests and the elders of the people came near, as he was teaching, and said, by what authority do you these things?
24 Yesu azongiselaki bango: — Ngai mpe, nazali kotuna bino motuna moko. Soki kaka bopesi Ngai eyano, nakoyebisa bino soki na kombo ya bokonzi nini nazali kosala makambo yango.
Jesus answering, said to them, I also have a question to propose, which if you answer me, I will tell you by what authority I do these things.
25 Libatisi ya Yoane ewutaki na Nzambe to ewutaki na bato? Bakomaki kokabola makanisi bango na bango: — Soki tolobi: « Ewutaki na Nzambe, » akotuna biso lisusu: « Bongo mpo na nini bondimaki ye te? »
Whence had John authority to immerse? From heaven or from men? Then they reasoned thus within themselves: If we say, From heaven, he will retort, Why then did you not believe him?
26 Soki mpe tolobi: « Ewutaki na bato, » wana tosengeli kobanga bato, pamba te bato nyonso bazwaka Yoane lokola mosakoli.
And if we say, From men, we dread the multitude, amongst whom John is universally accounted a prophet.
27 Boye, bazongiselaki Yesu: — Toyebi te! Yesu mpe alobaki na bango: — Ngai mpe, nakoyebisa bino te soki na kombo ya bokonzi nini nazali kosala makambo yango.
They, therefore, answered him, We can not tell. Jesus replied, Neither do I tell you, by what authority I do these things.
28 Yesu alobaki na bango lisusu: — Bokanisi nini na tina na lisolo oyo? Moto moko azalaki na bana mibali mibale; akendeki epai ya mwana ya liboso mpe alobaki na ye: « Mwana na ngai, kende lelo kosala na elanga ya vino. »
But what do you think of this? A man had two sons, and addressing his elder son, said, Son, go work today in any vineyard.
29 Mwana azongisaki: « Naboyi. » Kasi sima na mwa tango, abongolaki makanisi mpe akendeki na elanga yango.
He answered, I will not, but afterward repented and went.
30 Tata akendeki epai ya mwana mosusu mpe alobaki na ye kaka ndenge moko. Mwana yango azongisaki: « Malamu, nkolo na ngai, nakeyi! » Kasi akendeki te.
Then addressing the younger, he bade him likewise. He answered, Immediately, Sir, but went not.
31 Nani kati na bango mibale akokisaki mokano ya tata na ye? Bazongisaki: — Mwana ya liboso. Yesu alobaki na bango: — Nazali koloba na bino penza ya solo: bafutisi mpako mpe basi ya ndumba bakokota na Bokonzi ya Nzambe liboso na bino,
Now, which of the two obeyed his father? They said, The first. Jesus replied, Indeed, I say to you, even the publicans and harlots show you the way into the kingdom of God.
32 pamba te Yoane ayaki nde epai na bino mpo na kolakisa bino nzela ya bosembo, kasi bondimaki ye te; nzokande, bafutisi mpako mpe basi ya ndumba bandimaki ye. Atako bomonaki yango na miso na bino, kasi bobongolaki kaka mitema te mpe bondimaki ye kaka te.
For John came to you in the way of sanctity, and you believed him not; but the publicans and the harlots believed him: yet you who saw this, did not afterward repent and believe him.
33 Boyoka lisese mosusu: Moto moko alonaki elanga ya vino, atongaki lopango zingazinga na yango, atimolaki ekamolelo bambuma ya vino mpe atongaki ndako molayi ya bakengeli. Sima, apesaki elanga yango na maboko ya basali mpo ete bakoma kofutela yango, mpe akendeki na mobembo.
Hear another parable: A landlord planted a vineyard, and hedged it round, and digged a wine press in it, and built a tower; and having farmed it out, went abroad.
34 Tango eleko ya kobuka bambuma ekomaki pene, atindaki basali na ye epai ya bafuteli elanga, mpo ete bakende kokongola bambuma na ye;
When the vintage approached, he sent his servants to the husbandmen to receive the fruits.
35 kasi bafuteli elanga bakangaki basali yango; babetaki moko, babomaki mosusu, mpe babambaki oyo ya misato mabanga.
But they seized his servants, beat one, drove away with stones another, and killed another.
36 Atindaki basali mosusu ebele koleka ba-oyo ya liboso; kasi bafuteli elanga basalaki bango ndenge kaka basalaki ba-oyo ya liboso.
Again he sent other servants more respectable; but they received the same treatment;
37 Na suka, atindelaki bango mwana na ye ya mobali mpe amilobelaki: « Solo, bakotosa mwana na ngai! »
finally he sent his son to them: for he said, They will reverence my son.
38 Kasi tango bafuteli elanga bamonaki mwana yango, balobanaki bango na bango: « Tala mokitani ya libula ya elanga! Boya, toboma ye mpo ete libula ya elanga ekoma ya biso! »
But when the husbandmen saw the son, they said among themselves, This is the heir, come, let us kill him, and keep possession of his inheritance.
39 Bakangaki ye, babwakaki ye na libanda ya elanga ya vino mpe babomaki ye.
Then they seized him, thrust him out of the vineyard, and killed him.
40 Tango nkolo elanga ya vino akoya, akosala bafuteli elanga wana nini?
When, therefore, the proprietor of the vineyard comes, what will he do to those husbandmen?
41 Bazongisaki: — Akobomisa bato mabe wana na kufa moko ya somo penza, akopesa elanga yango ya vino na maboko ya bafuteli mosusu oyo bakobanda kofutaka ye ndambo na ye ya bambuma, na eleko oyo babukaka yango.
They answered, He will put those wretched to a wretched death, and will let the vineyard to others, who will render him the fruits in the season.
42 Yesu alobaki na bango: — Nanu botanga te kati na Makomi: « Libanga oyo batongi ndako babwakaki ekomi libanga ya songe ya ndako, mpe esimbi ndako mobimba? Nkolo asalaki bongo, mpe ezali penza likambo ya kokamwa na miso na biso. »
Jesus replied, Did you never read in the scriptures, "A stone which the builders rejected, is made the head of the corner? This the Lord has effected, and we behold it with admiration."
43 Yango wana, nazali koyebisa bino ete Bokonzi ya Nzambe ekolongolama kati na bino mpo ete epesama na bato oyo bakokoka kolakisa misala na yango. [
Know, therefore, that the kingdom of God shall be taken from you, and given to a nation who will produce the fruits of it.
44 Moto oyo akokweya na likolo ya libanga yango akobukana ndambo na ndambo; kasi moto oyo libanga yango ekokweyela, ekopanza ye.]
For whosoever shall fall on this stone, shall be bruised; and on whomsoever it shall fall, it will crush him to pieces.
45 Sima na bango koyoka masese na Ye, bakonzi ya Banganga-Nzambe mpe Bafarizeo basosolaki ete Yesu azalaki koloba na tina na bango.
The chief priests and the Pharisees hearing his parables, perceived that he spoke of them;
46 Bazalaki koluka nzela ya kokanga Ye, kasi babangaki bato, pamba te bango nyonso bazalaki kozwa Yesu lokola mosakoli.
but though they wished to lay hold on him, they were afraid of the populace, who reckoned him a prophet.
