Matthew 21
1 When they drew near to Jerusalem, and came to Bethphage, to the Mount of Olives, then Jesus sent away 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 over against you, and you will immediately find a donkey tied, and the colt with her: loosing, lead her 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 may say any thing to you, tell him, that the Lord hath need of them; and immediately he will send them away.
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 And all this took place, that the word spoken by the prophet might be fulfilled, saying,
Makambo wana nyonso esalemaki mpo ete maloba oyo mosakoli aloba ekokisama:
5 Say to the daughter of Zion, Behold, thy King cometh, meek, and seated upon a donkey, even a colt, the progeny of the work-beast.
« 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, having gone and done as Jesus commanded them,
Bayekoli bakendeki mpe basalaki ndenge kaka Yesu atindaki bango.
7 led the donkey, and the colt, and put their garments 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 great multitude strewed their garments in the road: and others cut down the branches from the trees, and were strewing 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 going forward, and following, continued to cry out, saying, Hosanna to the son of David: blessed is He that cometh 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 He having come into Jerusalem, the whole city was stirred, saying; Who is He?
Tango Yesu akotaki kati na Yelusalemi, engumba mobimba eninganaki; bazalaki kotuna: — Oyo lisusu nani?
11 And the multitudes continued to say, He is the prophet Jesus, the one from Nazareth of Galilee.
Bato bazalaki kozongisa: — Ezali mosakoli Yesu, moto ya Nazareti ya Galile!
12 And Jesus came into the temple of God, and cast out all the buying and selling in the temple, and overturned the tables of the money-exchangers, and the seats of those selling 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 and He says to them, It has been written, My house shall be called a house of prayer: but you make it a den of thieves.
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 healed them.
Bakufi miso mpe bato oyo batambola tengu-tengu bapusanaki pene na Yesu kati na lopango ya Tempelo, mpe abikisaki bango.
15 And the chief priests and scribes seeing the wonderful things which He did, and the children crying in the temple, and saying; Hosanna to the son of David, 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 they are saying? And Jesus says to them, Yes: have you not read, That 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 having left them, He went out of the city into Bethany, and there spent the night.
Bongo atikaki bango, abimaki longwa na engumba mpe akendeki na Betani epai wapi alekisaki butu.
18 And in the morning going into the city, He was hungry.
Na tongo-tongo ya mokolo oyo elandaki, wana azalaki kozonga na engumba, ayokaki nzala.
19 And seeing one fig-tree near the road, He went to it, and found nothing on it, except leaves only. And He says to it, Let no fruit ever be from thee; and 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 And the disciples seeing, were astonished, 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 And Jesus responding said to them, Truly I say unto you, if you may have faith, and doubt not, not only shall you do that of the fig-tree, but you shall say to this mountain, Be thou taken up and cast into the sea, and it will 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 whatsoever you may ask in prayer, believing, you shall receive.
Soki bozali na kondima, bokozwa nyonso oyo bokosenga kati na losambo.
23 And the chief priests and elders of the people came to Him, while teaching, He having come into the temple, saying, By what authority are you doing 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 And Jesus responding, said to them, I ask you also one word, which if you may speak to me, I also will tell you by what authority I am doing 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 Whence was the baptism of John? from heaven or from men? And they reasoned among themselves, saying, If we may say, From heaven; He will say to us, Why then did you not believe on 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 may 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 And responding they said to Jesus, We do not know. He also said to them, Neither do I tell you by what authority I am doing 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 What seems to you? A man had two sons; and going to the first, he said, Child, go to-day, work 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 And he responding said, I am not willing: but afterward, having regretted, he went.
Mwana azongisaki: « Naboyi. » Kasi sima na mwa tango, abongolaki makanisi mpe akendeki na elanga yango.
30 And coming to the second, he spoke likewise. And he responding said, I, lord: 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 one of the two did the will of the father? They say to Him, The first. Jesus says to them, Truly I say unto you, that the publicans and 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 harlots believed him, and you, seeing, did not afterward regret it, in order 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 ye another parable. A man was a landlord, who planted a vineyard, and placed a hedge around it, and dug a wine-trough in it, and built a tower, and gave it out to husbandmen, and went away.
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 fruits drew near, he sent his servants to the husbandmen, to receive his fruits;
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 husbandmen taking his servants, beat one, and slew one, 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 did unto them likewise.
Atindaki basali mosusu ebele koleka ba-oyo ya liboso; kasi bafuteli elanga basalaki bango ndenge kaka basalaki ba-oyo ya liboso.
37 And afterward he sent to them his own 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 husbandmen, seeing the son, said among themselves, This is the heir; come, let us kill him, and take possession of 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 And taking him, they cast him out of the vine-yard, and slew him.
Bakangaki ye, babwakaki ye na libanda ya elanga ya vino mpe babomaki ye.
40 Then when the lord of the vine-yard may come, what will he do to those husbandmen?
Tango nkolo elanga ya vino akoya, akosala bafuteli elanga wana nini?
41 They say to Him, He will certainly destroy those wicked men, and give the vineyard to other husband-men, who will render to him the fruits in their seasons.
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 says, Have you not read in the Scriptures, The stone which the builders rejected, the same has come to be the head of the corner: this was with the Lord, and 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 say unto you, that the kingdom of God shall be taken from you, and given to a nation bringing 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. [
Moto oyo akokweya na likolo ya libanga yango akobukana ndambo na ndambo; kasi moto oyo libanga yango ekokweyela, ekopanza ye.]
45 And the chief priests and Pharisees hearing His parables, knew that He speaks concerning 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 seeking to arrest Him, they feared the multitudes, since they held Him as a prophet.
Bazalaki koluka nzela ya kokanga Ye, kasi babangaki bato, pamba te bango nyonso bazalaki kozwa Yesu lokola mosakoli.
