Matthew 19
1 And it came to pass when Jesus had finished these discourses, that he departed from Galilee, and came into the borders of Judea, beyond the Jordan.
Tango Yesu asilisaki koloba makambo wana, alongwaki na Galile mpe akendeki na etuka ya Yuda, na ngambo mosusu ya Yordani.
2 And many multitudes followed him; and he cured them there.
Ebele penza ya bato balandaki Ye, mpe abikisaki bango kuna.
3 And the Pharisees came to him to tempt him, and said to him: Is it lawful for a man to put away his wife for every cause?
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?
4 He answered and said to them: Have you not read that the Creator, at the beginning, created them male and female,
Yesu azongisaki: — Boni, botangi te ete, na ebandeli, Mokeli « akelaki bango mobali mpe mwasi, »
5 and said, For this cause shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave to his wife, and the two shall be one flesh?
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?
6 So then, they are no longer two, but one flesh. Therefore, what God has joined together, let not man put asunder.
Boye, bazali lisusu bato mibale te, kasi bakomi moto moko. Tika ete moto akabola te oyo Nzambe asangisi! »
7 They said to him: Why, then, did Moses command us to give a bill of divorce and put her away?
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?
8 He said to them: Moses, on account of the hardness of your hearts, permitted you to put away your wives; but from the beginning it was not so.
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.
9 But I say to you, That whoever puts away his wife, unless for lewdness, and marries another, commits adultery; and he that marries her that is put away, commits adultery.
Nazali koloba na bino: Soki mobali alongoli mwasi na ye na libala, longola kaka soki akweyaki na ekobo, mpe abali mwasi mosusu asali ekobo.
10 His disciples said to him: If the relation of man and wife be such, it is not good to marry.
Bayekoli balobaki na Ye: — Soki mobali asengeli kozala bongo liboso ya mwasi na ye, wana eleki malamu mpo na mobali ete abala te!
11 But he said to them: All can not accept this saying; only those to whom it is given.
Yesu azongiselaki bango: — Mibali nyonso bakoki kondima mateya oyo te, kaka ba-oyo bapesameli makoki mpo na yango.
12 For there are eunuchs that were born such from their mother’s womb; and there are eunuchs that have been made eunuchs by men; and there are eunuchs that have made themselves eunuchs for the sake of the kingdom of heaven. Let him accept it that is able to accept it.
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!
13 Then little children were brought to him, that he might lay his hands on them and pray. And the disciples rebuked them.
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.
14 But Jesus said: Let the little children come to me, and forbid them not: for of such is the kingdom of heaven.
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.
15 And he laid his hands on them, and departed from that place.
Atielaki bango maboko, mpe alongwaki wana.
16 And behold, one came and said to him: Good teacher, what good thing must I do that I may have eternal life? He said to him: (aiōnios g166)
Elenge mobali moko apusanaki pene na Yesu mpe atunaki: — Moteyi, likambo nini ya malamu nasengeli kosala mpo ete nazwa bomoi ya seko? (aiōnios g166)
17 Why do you call me good? There is none good but one, that is God. But if you desire to enter into life, keep the commandments.
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.
18 He said to him: Which? Jesus replied: You shall not kill; You shall not commit adultery; You shall not steal; You shall not give false testimony;
Elenge mobali yango atunaki lisusu: — Mibeko nini? Yesu azongisaki: — Okobomaka te, okosalaka ekobo te, okoyibaka te, okolobaka litatoli ya lokuta te,
19 Honor your father and your mother; and, You shall love your neighbor as yourself.
okotosaka tata mpe mama na yo mpe okolingaka moninga na yo ndenge yo moko omilingaka.
20 The young man said to him: All these have I kept from my youth, what do I lack?
Elenge mobali alobaki: — Natosaka mibeko wana nyonso; nasala lisusu nini?
21 Jesus said to him: If you would be perfect, go, sell your possessions, and give to the poor, and you shall have treasure in heaven; and come, follow me.
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.
22 When the young man heard that saying, he went away grieved; for he had great possessions.
Tango elenge mobali ayokaki bongo, akendeki na mawa, pamba te azalaki na bozwi mingi.
23 Jesus said to his disciples: Verily I say to you, A rich man will with difficulty enter into the kingdom of heaven.
Yesu alobaki na bayekoli na Ye: — Nazali koloba na bino penza ya solo: ezali pasi mpo na mozwi kokota kati na Bokonzi ya Likolo!
24 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 enter into the kingdom of God.
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.
25 When the disciples heard it, they were greatly amazed, and said: Who, then, can be saved?
Tango bayekoli bayokaki Yesu koloba bongo, bakamwaki mingi mpe bakomaki kotunana: — Bongo nani penza akoki kobikisama?
26 But Jesus looked on them, and said to them: With men, this is impossible; but with God, all things are possible.
Wana Yesu atalaki bango, alobaki: — Na bato, ekoki kosalema te; kasi na Nzambe, nyonso ekoki kosalema!
27 Then Peter answered and said to him: Behold, we have left all and followed thee; what, then, shall we have?
Petelo azwaki maloba mpe alobaki na Yesu: — Biso, totiki nyonso mpo na kolanda Yo! Ekozala boni mpo na biso?
28 Jesus said to them: Verily I say to you, That, in the restoration, when the Son of man shall sit on his glorious throne, you also who have followed me shall sit on twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.
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.
29 And every one that has left houses, or brothers, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or lands, for my name’s sake, shall receive a hundred-fold, and shall inherit eternal life. (aiōnios g166)
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)
30 But many that are first shall be last; and the last first.
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.
