Matthew 21
1 And when they drew near to Jerusalem, and had come to Bethphage, 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 opposite to you, and immediately you will find an ass tied, and a colt with her: loose 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 And if any one say any thing to you, you shall reply: The Lord has need of them: and he will immediately 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 the word might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet, saying:
Makambo wana nyonso esalemaki mpo ete maloba oyo mosakoli aloba ekokisama:
5 Say you to the daughter of Zion, Behold, your king comes to you, meek, and sitting upon an ass, and a colt the foal of an ass.
« 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 And the disciples went and did as Jesus commanded them;
Bayekoli bakendeki mpe basalaki ndenge kaka Yesu atindaki bango.
7 and brought the ass and the colt, and put their mantles on them, and caused him to sit upon 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 And a very great multitude spread their mantles in the road: and others cut branches from the trees, and spread them in the road.
Bato ebele batandaki bilamba na bango na nzela; bamosusu bakataki bitape na likolo ya banzete mpe batandaki yango lisusu na nzela.
9 And the multitudes that went before, and that followed after, cried, saying: Hosanna to the son of David. Blessed is he that 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 And when he entered Jerusalem, all the city was moved, and said: Who is this?
Tango Yesu akotaki kati na Yelusalemi, engumba mobimba eninganaki; bazalaki kotuna: — Oyo lisusu nani?
11 And the multitude said: This is Jesus the prophet, that is from Nazareth of Galilee.
Bato bazalaki kozongisa: — Ezali mosakoli Yesu, moto ya Nazareti ya Galile!
12 And Jesus went into the temple of God, and drove out all that sold and bought in the temple, and overthrew the tables of the money-changers, and the seats of those who sold 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 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.
Alobaki na bango: — Ekomama: « Ndako na Ngai ekobengama Ndako ya losambo; » kasi bino, bozali kokomisa yango penza nganda ya miyibi!
14 And the blind and the lame came to him in the temple, and he cured 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 crying in the temple, and saying, Hosanna to the son of David, their anger was aroused,
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 they said to him: Do you not hear what these say? And Jesus said to them: Yes; have you never read, Out of the mouth of babes and sucklings thou hast 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 And he left them, and went out of the city to Bethany, and there spent the night.
Bongo atikaki bango, abimaki longwa na engumba mpe akendeki na Betani epai wapi alekisaki butu.
18 Now in the morning, as he was returning to the city, he was hungry:
Na tongo-tongo ya mokolo oyo elandaki, wana azalaki kozonga na engumba, ayokaki nzala.
19 and seeing a fig-tree on the road, he went to it, and found nothing on it but leaves; and he said to it: Let no fruit grow on you henceforth forever. And the fig-tree immediately withered. (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 And when the disciples saw it, they were astonished, and said: How soon has the fig-tree withered!
Tango bayekoli bamonaki bongo, bakamwaki mingi mpe batunaki: — Ndenge nini nzete ya figi ekawuki kaka boye na mbala moko?
21 Jesus answered and said to them: Verily I say to you, If you have faith, and doubt not, you shall do, not only what is done to the fig-tree, but even if you shall say to this mountain, Be taken up, and be thrown into the sea, it shall 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 And all things that you ask for in prayer, believing, you shall receive.
Soki bozali na kondima, bokozwa nyonso oyo bokosenga kati na losambo.
23 And after he had come into the temple, the chief priests and elders of the people came to him as he was teaching, and said: By what authority do you these things? And 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 and said to them: I also will ask you one thing, which if you will tell me, I also 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 immersion of John, whence was it? from heaven, or from men? But they reasoned among themselves, and said, If we reply, From heaven, he will say to 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 reply, From men, we fear the multitude; for all regard John as a prophet.
Soki mpe tolobi: « Ewutaki na bato, » wana tosengeli kobanga bato, pamba te bato nyonso bazwaka Yoane lokola mosakoli.
27 And they answered and said to Jesus: We know not. And he said to them: Neither do 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 think you? A man had two sons; and he went to the first, and said, Son, go work to-day 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 and said, I will not. But he afterward regretted it, and went.
Mwana azongisaki: « Naboyi. » Kasi sima na mwa tango, abongolaki makanisi mpe akendeki na elanga yango.
30 And he came to the other, and spoke to him in like manner. And he answered and said, I go, sir; and went not.
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: Verily I say to you, The publicans and the harlots go into the kingdom of God 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 believed him not. But the publicans and the harlots believed him. And you, when you had seen it, afterward felt no regret, 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 master of a house who planted a vineyard, and put a hedge around it, and rigged in it a wine-press, and built a tower, and let it out to vine-dressers, 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 And when the time of the fruit drew near, he sent his servants to the vine-dressers to receive the fruits of it.
Tango eleko ya kobuka bambuma ekomaki pene, atindaki basali na ye epai ya bafuteli elanga, mpo ete bakende kokongola bambuma na ye;
35 And the vine-dressers took his servants, and scourged one, and 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 in like manner.
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 reverence my son.
Na suka, atindelaki bango mwana na ye ya mobali mpe amilobelaki: « Solo, bakotosa mwana na ngai! »
38 But the vine-dressers, when they saw the son, said among themselves, This is the heir; come, let us kill him, and seize upon the 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 And they took him, and carried him out of the vineyard, and killed him.
Bakangaki ye, babwakaki ye na libanda ya elanga ya vino mpe babomaki ye.
40 Therefore, when the owner of the vineyard comes, what will he do to those vine-dressers?
Tango nkolo elanga ya vino akoya, akosala bafuteli elanga wana nini?
41 They said to him: He will miserably destroy those wicked men, and let out his vineyard to other vine-dressers, who will give him the fruits in their 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 has become the head of the corner?
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 This was from the Lord, and it is wondrous in our eyes. For this reason, I say to you, The kingdom of God shall be taken from you, and given to a nation that will bring forth the fruits of it.
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 And he that falls upon this stone shall be dashed to pieces; but him on whom it shall fall, it will make like chaff for the wind.
Moto oyo akokweya na likolo ya libanga yango akobukana ndambo na ndambo; kasi moto oyo libanga yango ekokweyela, ekopanza ye.]
45 And when the chief priests and the Pharisees heard his parables, they knew that he spoke of them.
Sima na bango koyoka masese na Ye, bakonzi ya Banganga-Nzambe mpe Bafarizeo basosolaki ete Yesu azalaki koloba na tina na bango.
46 And when they sought to lay hold of him, they feared the multitude, because they regarded him as a prophet.
Bazalaki koluka nzela ya kokanga Ye, kasi babangaki bato, pamba te bango nyonso bazalaki kozwa Yesu lokola mosakoli.
