Matthew 20
1 For the kingdom of heaven is like the master of a house, who went out early in the morning to hire laborers for his vineyard.
Pamba te, tala ndenge nini Bokonzi ya Likolo ezali: Bokonzi ya Likolo ezali lokola nkolo elanga ya vino oyo abimaki na tongo makasi mpo na koluka bato oyo bakosala na elanga na ye.
2 And when he had agreed with the laborers for a denarius a day, he sent them into his vineyard.
Ayokanaki na bango ete moko na moko akobanda kozwa lifuti ya mbongo moko ya ebende mpo na mokolo mobimba; bongo atindaki bango na elanga na ye ya vino.
3 And he went out about the third hour, and saw others standing in the market, idle;
Na ngonga ya libwa ya tongo, abimaki lisusu mpe amonaki, na esika oyo bato bakutanaka, bato mosusu oyo bazalaki kosala eloko moko te.
4 and he said to them: Go you also into my vineyard, and whatever is right I will give you.
Alobaki na bango: « Bino mpe bokende kosala na elanga na ngai ya vino. Nakopesa bino lifuti ya sembo, oyo ekoki. »
5 And they went. Again he went out about the sixth, and about the ninth hour, and did in like manner.
Boye, bakendeki kuna. Nkolo elanga abimaki lisusu na ngonga ya midi mpe na ngonga ya misato sima na midi; mpe na mbala nyonso mibale, asalaki kaka ndenge moko.
6 And about the eleventh hour he went out, and found others standing idle, and said to them, Why do you stand here all the day idle?
Abimaki lisusu na ngonga ya mitano ya pokwa mpe amonaki lisusu bato batelemi na esika wana oyo bato bakutanaka. Atunaki bango: « Mpo na nini botelemi kaka boye mokolo mobimba na kosala eloko moko te? »
7 They said to him: No man has hired us. He said to them: Go you also into the vineyard, and whatever is right you shall receive.
Bazongisaki: « Soki totelemi boye, ezali mpo ete moto moko te azwi biso na mosala. » Bongo alobaki na bango: « Bino mpe bokende kosala na elanga na ngai ya vino. »
8 When the evening came, the owner of the vineyard said to his steward: Call the laborers, and, beginning with the last, pay them their hire even to the first.
Tango pokwa ekokaki, nkolo elanga ya vino alobaki na motambolisi ya misala ya elanga: « Benga basali nyonso mpe futa bango; banda na bato oyo nazwaki sima mpe sukisa na ba-oyo nazwaki liboso. »
9 And when those came who had been hired about the eleventh hour, they received each one a denarius.
Bato oyo babandaki mosala na ngonga ya mitano ya pokwa bayaki, mpe moko na moko azwaki lokola lifuti, mbongo moko ya ebende.
10 But when those came who had been hired first, they thought that they would receive more; and they received each one a denarius.
Bongo ekomaki ngonga ya kofuta bato oyo nkolo elanga azwaki liboso na mosala; bakanisaki ete bakozwa mbongo mingi koleka, kasi moko na moko kati na bango azwaki lokola lifuti, mbongo moko kaka ya ebende.
11 And when they received it, they murmured against the master of the house,
Tango bazwaki yango, basilikelaki nkolo elanga.
12 saying: These last have worked one hour, and you have made them equal to us, who have borne the burden of the day, and the heat.
Balobaki: « Bato oyo ozwaki sima mpe basali kaka ngonga moko, ofuti bango ndenge moko na biso oyo tosali mosala makasi mokolo mobimba mpe na se ya moyi makasi! »
13 But he answered and said to one of them: Friend, I do you no injustice; did you not agree with me for a denarius?
Kasi nkolo elanga azongiselaki moko kati na bango: « Moninga na ngai, nasali yo mabe te! Boni, toyokanaki te ete osala mpo na lifuti ya mbongo moko ya ebende?
14 Take what is yours, and go; I will give to this last even as to you.
Kamata lifuti na yo mpe kende. Ngai moko nde nalingi kopesa na moto oyo abandaki sima, lifuti ya ndenge moko na oyo napesi yo.
15 Is it not allowed me to do what I will with my own? Or, is your eye envious, because I am good?
Boni, nazali na ndingisa te ya kosala na mbongo na ngai nyonso oyo nalingi? Osilikeli ngai mpo ete nazali moto malamu? »
16 So the last shall be first, and the first last. For many are called, but few are chosen.
Boye, kati na bato oyo bazali sik’oyo bato ya suka, ebele bakokoma bato ya liboso; mpe kati na ba-oyo bazali sik’oyo bato ya liboso, ebele bakokoma bato ya suka.
17 And as Jesus was going up to Jerusalem, he took the twelve disciples aside on his journey, and said to them:
Wana Yesu azalaki kokende na Yelusalemi, abendaki na pembeni bayekoli na Ye zomi na mibale mpe alobaki na bango wana bazali kotambola:
18 Behold, we are going up to Jerusalem, and the Son of man shall be delivered to the chief priests and the scribes, and they will condemn him to death,
« Boyoka! Tozali solo kokende na Yelusalemi; Mwana na Moto akokabama na maboko ya bakonzi ya Banganga-Nzambe mpe ya balakisi ya Mobeko; bakokatela Ye etumbu ya kufa
19 and will deliver him to the Gentiles to deride, and to scourge, and to crucify: and on the third day he shall rise again.
mpe bakokaba Ye na maboko ya bapagano mpo ete baseka Ye, babeta Ye fimbu mpe babaka Ye na ekulusu. Mpe na mokolo ya misato, akosekwa. »
20 Then came to him the mother of the sons of Zebedee, with her sons, bowing down, and asking something of him.
Bongo mama ya bana mibali ya Zebede ayaki epai ya Yesu, elongo na bana na ye ya mibali, mpe agumbamaki liboso na Ye mpo na kosenga Ye eloko moko.
21 He said to her: What do you wish? She said to him: Command that these two sons of mine may sit, the one on thy right hand, and the other on thy left, in thy kingdom.
Yesu atunaki ye: — Olingi nini? Azongisaki: — Laka ngai ete bana na ngai mibale oyo ya mibali bakovanda kati na Bokonzi na Yo: moko na ngambo ya loboko na Yo ya mobali, mpe mosusu, na ngambo ya loboko na Yo ya mwasi.
22 But Jesus answered and said: You know not what you ask. Are you able to drink the cup that I am about to drink, and to be immersed with the immersion with which I am immersed? They said to him: We are able.
Yesu azongiselaki bango: — Bozali kososola te makambo oyo bozali kosenga! Boni, bokoki komela kopo oyo Ngai nakomela? Bazongisaki: — Iyo, tokoki.
23 And he said to them: You shall drink my cup, and be immersed with the immersion with which I am immersed: but to sit on my right hand, and on my left, is not mine to give; but it shall be given to them for whom it has been prepared by my Father.
Yesu alobaki na bango: — Solo, bokomela na bino kopo oyo Ngai nakomela; kasi likambo ya kovanda na ngambo ya loboko na Ngai ya mobali to na ngambo ya loboko na Ngai ya mwasi, Ngai nakoki te kopesela yango ndingisa; bisika wana ezali ya bato oyo Tata na Ngai abongisela bango yango.
24 And when the ten heard it, their anger was aroused against the two brothers.
Tango bayekoli mosusu zomi bayokaki makambo wana, basilikelaki bandeko mibale wana.
25 But Jesus called them to him, and said: You know that the rulers of the Gentiles act as lords over them, and their great men have authority over them.
Kasi Yesu abengaki bango nyonso mpe alobaki na bango: — Boyebi malamu ete bakonzi ya bikolo bakonzaka bato ya bikolo oyo ezali na se ya bokonzi na bango, mpe bakalaka ya lokumu bakonzaka bato oyo bazali na se ya bokonzi na bango.
26 It shall not be so among you. But whoever will be great among you, let him be your minister.
Esengeli te kozala bongo kati na bino. Nzokande, tika ete moto nyonso oyo alingi kozala moto monene kati na bino azala mosali na bino;
27 And whoever will be first among you, let him be your servant;
mpe tika ete moto nyonso oyo alingi kozala moto ya liboso kati na bino azala mowumbu na bino!
28 even as the Son of man came, not to be ministered to, but to minister, and to give his life a ransom for many.
Pamba te Mwana na Moto ayaki te mpo ete basalela Ye; kasi ayaki nde kosala mpo na bato, mpe kopesa bomoi na Ye lokola motuya ya kofuta mpo na kosikola bato ebele.
29 And as they went out from Jericho, a great multitude followed him.
Tango Yesu elongo na bayekoli na Ye balongwaki na Jeriko, bato ebele balandaki Yesu.
30 And behold, two blind men, sitting by the road, when they heard that Jesus was passing by, cried out, saying: Have mercy on us, Lord, son of David.
Bakufi miso mibale bazalaki ya kovanda pembeni ya nzela; tango bayokaki ete Yesu azali koleka, bagangaki: — Nkolo, Mwana ya Davidi, yokela biso mawa!
31 And the multitude charged them to be silent. But they cried the more, saying: Have mercy on us, Lord, son of David.
Bato bazalaki kopamela bango mpo ete bakanga minoko na bango, kasi bango bagangaki lisusu makasi: — Nkolo, mwana ya Davidi, yokela biso mawa!
32 And Jesus stood still, and called them, and said: What do you wish me to do for you?
Yesu atelemaki, abengaki bango mpe atunaki bango: — Bolingi nasala nini mpo na bino?
33 They said to him: Lord, that our eyes may be opened.
Bazongiselaki Ye: — Nkolo, sala ete tomona.
34 Jesus had compassion on them, and touched their eyes; and their eyes immediately received sight, and they followed him.
Yesu ayokelaki bango mawa mpe asimbaki miso na bango; mpe, mbala moko, bakomaki komona mpe balandaki Ye.
