Matthew 21
1 When they came near to Jerusalem and came to Bethsphage, to the Mount of Olives, then Jesus sent two disciples,
Wana bazalaki kopusana pene ya Yelusalemi mpe bakomaki pene ya Betifaje, na ngomba ya banzete ya olive, Yesu atindaki bayekoli mibale.
2 saying to them, “Go into the village that is opposite you, and immediately you will find a donkey tied, and a colt with her. Untie them and bring them to me.
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.
3 If anyone says anything to you, you shall say, ‘The Lord needs them,’ and immediately he will send them.”
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.
4 All this was done that it might be fulfilled which was spoken through the prophet, saying,
Makambo wana nyonso esalemaki mpo ete maloba oyo mosakoli aloba ekokisama:
5 “Tell the daughter of Zion, behold, your King comes to you, humble, and riding on a donkey, on a colt, the foal of a donkey.”
« 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. › »
6 The disciples went and did just as Jesus commanded them,
Bayekoli bakendeki mpe basalaki ndenge kaka Yesu atindaki bango.
7 and brought the donkey and the colt and laid their clothes on them; and he sat on them.
Bamemaki ane ya mwasi elongo na mwana ya ane, batandaki bilamba na bango na mikongo na yango; mpe Yesu avandaki na likolo na yango.
8 A very great multitude spread their clothes on the road. Others cut branches from the trees and spread them on the road.
Bato ebele batandaki bilamba na bango na nzela; bamosusu bakataki bitape na likolo ya banzete mpe batandaki yango lisusu na nzela.
9 The multitudes who went in front of him, and those who followed, kept shouting, “Hosanna to the son of David! Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord! Hosanna in the highest!”
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! »
10 When he had come into Jerusalem, all the city was stirred up, saying, “Who is this?”
Tango Yesu akotaki kati na Yelusalemi, engumba mobimba eninganaki; bazalaki kotuna: — Oyo lisusu nani?
11 The multitudes said, “This is the prophet, Jesus, from Nazareth of Galilee.”
Bato bazalaki kozongisa: — Ezali mosakoli Yesu, moto ya Nazareti ya Galile!
12 Jesus entered into the temple of God and drove out all of those who sold and bought in the temple, and overthrew the money changers’ tables and the seats of those who sold the doves.
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.
13 He said to them, “It is written, ‘My house shall be called a house of prayer,’ but you have made it a den of robbers!”
Alobaki na bango: — Ekomama: « Ndako na Ngai ekobengama Ndako ya losambo; » kasi bino, bozali kokomisa yango penza nganda ya miyibi!
14 The lame and the blind came to him in the temple, and he healed them.
Bakufi miso mpe bato oyo batambola tengu-tengu bapusanaki pene na Yesu kati na lopango ya Tempelo, mpe abikisaki bango.
15 But when the chief priests and the scribes saw the wonderful things that he did, and the children who were crying in the temple and saying, “Hosanna to the son of David!” they were indignant,
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! »
16 and said to him, “Do you hear what these are saying?” Jesus said to them, “Yes. Did you never read, ‘Out of the mouth of children and nursing babies, you have perfected praise’?”
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? »
17 He left them and went out of the city to Bethany, and camped there.
Bongo atikaki bango, abimaki longwa na engumba mpe akendeki na Betani epai wapi alekisaki butu.
18 Now in the morning, as he returned to the city, he was hungry.
Na tongo-tongo ya mokolo oyo elandaki, wana azalaki kozonga na engumba, ayokaki nzala.
19 Seeing a fig tree by the road, he came to it and found nothing on it but leaves. He said to it, “Let there be no fruit from you forever!” Immediately the fig tree withered away. (aiōn g165)
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)
20 When the disciples saw it, they marveled, saying, “How did the fig tree immediately wither away?”
Tango bayekoli bamonaki bongo, bakamwaki mingi mpe batunaki: — Ndenge nini nzete ya figi ekawuki kaka boye na mbala moko?
21 Jesus answered them, “Most certainly I tell you, if you have faith and don’t doubt, you will not only do what was done to the fig tree, but even if you told this mountain, ‘Be taken up and cast into the sea,’ it would be done.
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.
22 All things, whatever you ask in prayer, believing, you will receive.”
Soki bozali na kondima, bokozwa nyonso oyo bokosenga kati na losambo.
23 When he had come into the temple, the chief priests and the elders of the people came to him as he was teaching, and said, “By what authority do you do these things? Who gave you this authority?”
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?
24 Jesus answered them, “I also will ask you one question, which if you tell me, I likewise will tell you by what authority I do these things.
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.
25 The baptism of John, where was it from? From heaven or from men?” They reasoned with themselves, saying, “If we say, ‘From heaven,’ he will ask us, ‘Why then did you not believe him?’
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? »
26 But if we say, ‘From men,’ we fear the multitude, for all hold John as a prophet.”
Soki mpe tolobi: « Ewutaki na bato, » wana tosengeli kobanga bato, pamba te bato nyonso bazwaka Yoane lokola mosakoli.
27 They answered Jesus, and said, “We don’t know.” He also said to them, “Neither will I tell you by what authority I do these things.
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.
28 But what do you think? A man had two sons, and he came to the first, and said, ‘Son, go work today in my vineyard.’
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. »
29 He answered, ‘I will not,’ but afterward he changed his mind, and went.
Mwana azongisaki: « Naboyi. » Kasi sima na mwa tango, abongolaki makanisi mpe akendeki na elanga yango.
30 He came to the second, and said the same thing. He answered, ‘I’m going, sir,’ but he didn’t go.
Tata akendeki epai ya mwana mosusu mpe alobaki na ye kaka ndenge moko. Mwana yango azongisaki: « Malamu, nkolo na ngai, nakeyi! » Kasi akendeki te.
31 Which of the two did the will of his father?” They said to him, “The first.” Jesus said to them, “Most certainly I tell you that the tax collectors and the prostitutes are entering into God’s Kingdom before you.
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,
32 For John came to you in the way of righteousness, and you didn’t believe him; but the tax collectors and the prostitutes believed him. When you saw it, you didn’t even repent afterward, that you might believe him.
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.
33 “Hear another parable. There was a man who was a master of a household who planted a vineyard, set a hedge about it, dug a wine press in it, built a tower, leased it out to farmers, and went into another country.
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.
34 When the season for the fruit came near, he sent his servants to the farmers to receive his fruit.
Tango eleko ya kobuka bambuma ekomaki pene, atindaki basali na ye epai ya bafuteli elanga, mpo ete bakende kokongola bambuma na ye;
35 The farmers took his servants, beat one, killed another, and stoned another.
kasi bafuteli elanga bakangaki basali yango; babetaki moko, babomaki mosusu, mpe babambaki oyo ya misato mabanga.
36 Again, he sent other servants more than the first; and they treated them the same way.
Atindaki basali mosusu ebele koleka ba-oyo ya liboso; kasi bafuteli elanga basalaki bango ndenge kaka basalaki ba-oyo ya liboso.
37 But afterward he sent to them his son, saying, ‘They will respect my son.’
Na suka, atindelaki bango mwana na ye ya mobali mpe amilobelaki: « Solo, bakotosa mwana na ngai! »
38 But the farmers, when they saw the son, said among themselves, ‘This is the heir. Come, let’s kill him and seize his inheritance.’
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! »
39 So they took him and threw him out of the vineyard, then killed him.
Bakangaki ye, babwakaki ye na libanda ya elanga ya vino mpe babomaki ye.
40 When therefore the lord of the vineyard comes, what will he do to those farmers?”
Tango nkolo elanga ya vino akoya, akosala bafuteli elanga wana nini?
41 They told him, “He will miserably destroy those miserable men, and will lease out the vineyard to other farmers who will give him the fruit in its season.”
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.
42 Jesus said to them, “Did you never read in the Scriptures, ‘The stone which the builders rejected was made the head of the corner. This was from the Lord. It is marvelous in our eyes’?
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. »
43 “Therefore I tell you, God’s Kingdom will be taken away from you and will be given to a nation producing its fruit.
Yango wana, nazali koyebisa bino ete Bokonzi ya Nzambe ekolongolama kati na bino mpo ete epesama na bato oyo bakokoka kolakisa misala na yango. [
44 He who falls on this stone will be broken to pieces, but on whomever it will fall, it will scatter him as dust.”
Moto oyo akokweya na likolo ya libanga yango akobukana ndambo na ndambo; kasi moto oyo libanga yango ekokweyela, ekopanza ye.]
45 When the chief priests and the Pharisees heard his parables, they perceived that he spoke about them.
Sima na bango koyoka masese na Ye, bakonzi ya Banganga-Nzambe mpe Bafarizeo basosolaki ete Yesu azalaki koloba na tina na bango.
46 When they sought to seize him, they feared the multitudes, because they considered him to be a prophet.
Bazalaki koluka nzela ya kokanga Ye, kasi babangaki bato, pamba te bango nyonso bazalaki kozwa Yesu lokola mosakoli.
