Luke 8
1 Shortly afterwards, Jesus went on a journey through the towns and villages, proclaiming the Good News of the Kingdom of God. With him went the Twelve,
Sima na yango, Yesu atambolaki na bingumba mpe na bamboka, azalaki koteya mpe kosakola Sango Malamu ya Bokonzi ya Nzambe. Bayekoli nyonso zomi na mibale bazalaki elongo na Ye,
2 as well as some women who had been cured of wicked spirits and of infirmities. They were Mary, known as Mary of Magdala (from whom seven demons had been expelled),
bakisa ndambo ya basi oyo bakangolamaki na milimo mabe mpe babikisamaki na bokono: Mari, moto ya Magidala, oyo kati na ye, Yesu abenganaki milimo mabe sambo;
3 and Joanna (the wife of Herod’s steward, Chuza), and Susannah, and many others — all of whom ministered to Jesus and his Apostles out of their means.
Jane, mwasi ya Shuza oyo azalaki kobatela biloko ya Erode; Suzana; mpe basi mosusu ebele. Basi yango bazalaki kosalisa mpe kosunga Yesu mpe bayekoli na Ye, na nzela ya biloko na bango moko.
4 Once, when a great crowd was collecting, and, when the people of town after town were flocking to Jesus, he spoke to them in the form of a parable:
Wana ebele ya bato bazalaki kosangana, mpe bato oyo bazalaki kowuta na bingumba bazalaki koya epai ya Ye, alobaki na bango lisese oyo:
5 “The sower went out to sow his seed; and, as he was sowing, some of the seed fell along the path and was trodden upon; and the wild birds ate it up.
— Moloni moko akendeki kolona na elanga na ye. Wana azalaki kobwaka nkona na ye, ndambo ekweyaki pembeni ya nzela; baleki nzela banyataki-nyataki yango, mpe bandeke ya likolo eliaki yango.
6 Other seed fell upon rock, and, as soon as it began to grow, having no moisture, withered away.
Ndambo mosusu ekweyaki na mabele etonda na mabanga; tango kaka ebandaki kobimisa mito, mito ekawukaki, pamba te ezalaki na mayi te.
7 Other seed fell in the middle of brambles, but the brambles grew up with it and choked it entirely.
Ndambo mosusu ekweyaki kati na banzube; banzube ekolaki nzela moko na yango mpe efinaki-finaki mito na yango.
8 Other seed fell into rich soil, and grew, and gave a hundred-fold return.” After saying this, Jesus cried aloud: “Let him who has ears to hear with hear.”
Kasi ndambo mosusu ekweyaki na mabele ya malamu, ebimisaki mito oyo ekolaki mpe ekomaki banzete: nkona moko na moko ebotaki bambuma nkama moko. Tango Yesu asilisaki koloba bongo, agangaki: — Tika ete moto nyonso oyo azali na matoyi mpo na koyoka ayoka!
9 His disciples asked Jesus the meaning of this parable.
Bayekoli ya Yesu batunaki Ye ndimbola ya lisese yango.
10 “To you,” he said, “the knowledge of the hidden truths of the Kingdom of God has been imparted, but to others in parables only, that ‘though they have eyes they may not see, and though they have ears, they may not understand.’
Azongiselaki bango: — Boyebi ya mabombami ya Bokonzi ya Nzambe epesameli nde na bino; kasi epai ya bato mosusu, nazali koloba na masese, mpo ete, atako bakoki kotala, bamona te; mpe atako bakoki koyoka, basosola te.
11 This is the parable — The seed is God’s Message.
Tala ndimbola ya lisese yango: Nkona ezali Liloba na Nzambe.
12 By the seed which fell along the path are meant those who hear the Message; but then comes the Devil and carries away the Message from their minds, to prevent their believing it and being saved.
Nkona oyo ekweyaki pembeni ya nzela ezali bato oyo bayokaka Liloba na Nzambe, kasi Satana ayaka kolongola yango kati na mitema na bango mpo ete bandima te mpe babikisama te.
13 By the seed which fell upon the rock are meant those who, as soon as they hear the Message, welcome it joyfully; but they have no root, and believe it only for a time, and, when the time of temptation comes, they draw back.
Nkona oyo ekweyaki na mabele etonda na mabanga ezali bato oyo bayokaka Liloba mpe bayambaka yango na esengo, kasi batikaka yango te kozwa misisa: bandimaka kaka mpo na mwa tango moke; soki komekama eyei, basundolaka mbala moko kondima.
14 By that which fell among the brambles are meant those who hear the Message, but who, as they go on their way, are completely choked by this world’s cares and wealth and pleasures, and bring nothing to perfection.
Nkona oyo ekweyaki kati na banzube ezali bato oyo, sima na koyoka Liloba, bamitikaka ete, na etamboli na bango, mitungisi ya bomoi ya mokolo na mokolo, bomengo mpe bisengo ya mokili efinafina bango, mpe ete babota te bambuma.
15 But by that in the good ground are meant those who, having heard the Message, keep it in the good, rich soil of their hearts, and patiently yield a return.
Nkona oyo ekweyaki na mabele ya malamu ezali bato oyo, na mitema ya sembo mpe ya malamu, bayokaka Liloba, babatelaka yango, bayikaka mpiko mpe babotaka bambuma.
16 No man sets light to a lamp and then covers it with a bowl or puts it underneath a couch, but he puts it on a lamp-stand, so that anyone who comes in may see the light.
Moto moko te apelisaka mwinda mpo na kotia yango na se ya katini to na se ya mbeto; atiaka yango nde na likolo ya etelemiselo ya minda mpo ete bato oyo bazali kokota na ndako bamona pole na yango.
17 Nothing is hidden which will not be brought into the light of day, not ever kept hidden which will not some day become known and come into the light of day.
Pamba te eloko moko te ebombama ekozanga kobima na pole, mpe eloko moko te ya sekele ekozanga koyebana to kobima na pole.
18 Take care, then, how you listen. For, to all those who have, more will be given; while, from all those who have nothing, even what they seem to have will be taken away.”
Boye, bosala keba na lolenge na bino ya koyoka! Pamba te, na moto oyo azali na eloko, bakopesa ye lisusu; kasi na ye oyo azangi, bakobotola ata oyo azali kokanisa ete azali na yango.
19 Presently Jesus’ mother and brothers came where he was, but they were not able to join him on account of the crowd.
Mama mpe bandeko mibali ya Yesu bayaki kotala Yesu, kasi bakokaki te kokoma pene na Ye mpo na ebele ya ebele.
20 So word was brought to him — ‘Your mother and your brothers are standing outside, wanting to see you.’
Moto moko ayebisaki Ye: — Mama na yo mpe bandeko na yo ya mibali batelemi libanda, bazali na posa ya komona yo.
21 His reply, spoken to them all, was: “My mother and my brothers are those who listen to God’s teaching and do what it bids.”
Kasi Yesu azongisaki: — Mama na Ngai mpe bandeko na Ngai, ezali bato oyo bayokaka Liloba na Nzambe mpe batiaka yango na misala.
22 One day about that time, Jesus got into a boat with his disciples and said to them: “Let us go across the lake.”
Mokolo moko, Yesu alobaki na bayekoli na Ye: — Tokatisa na ngambo mosusu ya ebale. Bongo bamataki na bwato mpe bakendeki.
23 So they put off. While they were sailing, Jesus fell asleep. A squall swept down upon the lake, and their boat was filling and they were in danger.
Wana bayekoli bazalaki koluka nkayi, Yesu alalaki pongi. Mopepe moko ya makasi epepaki kati na ebale; bwato ekomaki kotonda na mayi, mpe bakomaki na likama monene.
24 So the disciples came and roused him. “Sir, Sir,” they cried, “we are lost!” Jesus rose and rebuked the wind and the rushing waves, and they fell, and a calm followed.
Bayekoli bapusanaki mpe balamusaki Ye na koganga: — Moteyi, Moteyi, tozali kokufa! Yesu alamukaki mpe apesaki mitindo na mopepe mpe mbonge; bongo ekitaki, mpe kimia ezongaki.
25 “Where is your faith?” he exclaimed. But in great awe and amazement they said to one another: “Who can this be, that he commands even the winds and the waves, and they obey him?”
Yesu atunaki bayekoli na Ye: — Wapi kondima na bino? Kasi bango, batondaki na somo mpe bakamwaki, bakomaki kolobana bango na bango: « Moto oyo azali penza nani? Azali kopesa mitindo ata na mipepe mpe na mayi, mpe yango ezali kotosa ye! »
26 And they reached the country of the Gerasenes, which is on the opposite side to Galilee;
Bakomaki na etuka ya Geraza oyo ezali na ngambo mosusu ya ebale, etalana na Galile.
27 and, on getting ashore, Jesus met a man, who had demons in him, coming out of the town. For a long time this man had worn no clothing, and he had not lived in a house, but in the tombs.
Tango Yesu anyataki mabele, mobali moko abimaki na engumba mpe ayaki kokutana na Ye; azalaki na se ya bokonzi ya milimo mabe. Wuta kala, azalaki lisusu te kolata bilamba mpe kovanda na ndako, kasi akomaki kovanda kati na bakunda.
28 Catching sight of Jesus, he shrieked out and threw himself down before him, and in a loud voice exclaimed: “What do you want with me, Jesus, Son of the Most High God? I beseech you not to torment me.”
Tango amonaki Yesu, agangaki mpe amibwakaki na makolo na Ye, na koganga na mongongo makasi koleka: — Yesu, Mwana na Nzambe-Oyo-Aleki-Likolo, olingi nini epai na ngai? Nabondeli Yo, kotungisa ngai te!
29 For Jesus was commanding the foul spirit to come out from the man. On many occasions it had seized him, and, even when secured with chains and fetters, and watched, he would break through anything that bound him, and be driven by the demon into the Wilds.
Pamba te Yesu apesaki mitindo na molimo ya mbindo ete ebima kati na mobali oyo ekangaki wuta kala. Mpe atako bakangaki ye minyololo na maboko mpe makolo mpe bazalaki kokengela ye, kasi abukaki minyololo yango, mpe molimo mabe ekumbaki ye na bisika oyo azalaki kaka ye moko.
30 “What is your name?” Jesus asked. “Legion,” he answered (for many demons had taken possession of him);
Yesu atunaki ye: — Kombo na yo nani? Azongisaki: — Ngulupa. Pamba te milimo mabe ebele ekotaki kati na ye.
Bongo milimo mabe yango ezalaki kosenga na Yesu ete atinda yango te kati na libulu ya mozindo. (Abyssos g12)
32 There was a drove of many pigs close by feeding upon the hill-side; and the demons begged Jesus to give them leave to enter into them. Jesus gave them leave.
Nzokande, etonga moko monene ya bangulu ezalaki kolia kuna na ngomba. Milimo mabe esengaki na Yesu ete atika yango kokota kati na bangulu; mpe Yesu apesaki yango nzela.
33 They came out from the man and took possession of the pigs; and the drove rushed down the steep slope into the lake and were drowned.
Milimo mabe ebimaki kati na mobali yango, mpe ekotaki kati na bangulu. Mbala moko, etonga ya bangulu ekitaki mbangu longwa na ngomba kino kati na ebale mpe ezindaki.
34 When the men who tended them saw what had happened, they ran away, and carried the news to the town, and to the country round.
Tango bakengeli ya bangulu bamonaki likambo oyo ewuti kosalema, bakimaki mpe bakendeki kopesa sango kati na engumba mpe na bilanga.
35 The people went out to see what had happened, and, when they came to Jesus, they found the man from whom the demons had gone out, sitting, clothed and in his right mind, at Jesus’ feet; and they were awe-struck.
Bato babimaki mpo na koya kotala likambo oyo esalemi. Tango bakomaki epai ya Yesu, bamonaki mobali, oyo milimo mabe ebimaki kati na ye, alata bilamba, avandi na makolo ya Yesu na mayele na ye ya kokoka; boye somo ekangaki bango.
36 Those who had seen it told them how the possessed man had been delivered;
Ba-oyo bamonaki likambo oyo ewuti kosalema bayebisaki bato ndenge nini moto oyo azalaki na se ya bokonzi ya milimo mabe akangolamaki.
37 upon which all the people in the neighbourhood of the Gerasenes asked Jesus to leave them, for they were terrified. Jesus got into a boat and returned.
Bongo bato nyonso ya etuka ya bato ya Geraza basengaki na Yesu ete alongwa na etuka na bango, pamba te somo ekangaki bango. Boye Yesu amataki na bwato mpe akendeki.
38 The man from whom the demons had gone out begged Jesus to let him be with him; but Jesus sent him away.
Mobali oyo akangolamaki na milimo mabe asengaki kokende elongo na Ye, kasi Yesu azongisaki ye na koloba:
39 “Go back to your home,” he said, “and relate the story of all that God has done for you.” So the man went through the whole town and proclaimed, as he went, all that Jesus had done for him.
— Zonga na libota na yo mpe tatola makambo nyonso oyo Nzambe asali mpo na yo. Boye mobali yango akendeki mpe atatolaki na engumba mobimba, makambo nyonso oyo Yesu asalaki mpo na ye.
40 On his return, Jesus was welcomed by the people; for everyone was looking out for him.
Tango Yesu azongaki, ebele ya bato bayambaki Ye, pamba te bango nyonso bazalaki kozela Ye.
41 And a man named Jaeirus, who was a President of the Synagogue, came to Jesus, and threw himself at Jesus’ feet, with entreaties that he would come to his house,
Mobali moko oyo kombo na ye ezalaki Jairisi, mokambi ya ndako ya mayangani, ayaki, amibwakaki na makolo ya Yesu mpe abondelaki Ye ete akende na ndako na ye,
42 because his only daughter, who was about twelve years old, was dying. As Jesus was going, the people were pressing closely round him.
pamba te mwana na ye kaka moko ya mwasi, ya mibu pene zomi na mibale ya mbotama, akomaki pene ya kokufa. Wana Yesu azalaki kokende, ebele ya bato bazalaki kotutana-tutana na Ye na bangambo nyonso.
43 And a woman, who had suffered from haemorrhage for twelve years, and whom no one could cure,
Nzokande, ezalaki wana na mwasi moko oyo azalaki na bokono ya kotanga makila, mpe bokono yango ewumelaki mibu pene zomi na mibale; mpe asilisaki bozwi na ye nyonso epai ya minganga, kasi moko te alongaki kobikisa ye na bokono yango.
44 came up behind and touched the tassel of his cloak. Instantly the haemorrhage ceased.
Adusolaki kino ayaki kotelema na sima ya Yesu mpe asimbaki singa ya songe ya elamba na Ye; mpe mbala moko, makila na ye etikaki kotanga.
45 “Who was it that touched me?” Jesus asked; and, while everyone was denying having done so, Peter exclaimed: “Why, Sir, the people are crowding round you and pressing upon you!”
Yesu atunaki: — Nani asimbi Ngai? Lokola moto ata moko te andimaki, Petelo alobaki na Yesu: — Moteyi, ebele ya bato bazali kofinana-finana mpe kotutana-tutana na Yo.
46 “Somebody touched me,” said Jesus; “for I felt that power had gone out from me.”
Kasi Yesu alobaki: — Moto moko asimbi Ngai; nayebi ete nguya ebimi kati na Ngai.
47 Then the woman, when she saw that she was discovered, came forward trembling, and threw herself down before him; and, in the presence of all the people, she told him her reason for touching him, and that she had been cured instantly.
Awa mwasi yango amonaki ete azali ya kobombama te, akendeki na kolenga, amibwakaki na makolo ya Yesu mpe alobaki na miso ya bato nyonso mpo na nini asimbaki Yesu mpe ndenge nini abiki mbala moko na bokono na ye.
48 “Daughter,” he said, “your faith has delivered you. Go, and peace be with you.”
Kasi Yesu alobaki na ye: — Mwana na Ngai ya mwasi, kondima na yo ebikisi yo; kende na kimia.
49 Before he had finished speaking, some one came from the house of the President of the Synagogue and said: “Your daughter is dead! Do not trouble the Teacher further.”
Wana Yesu azalaki nanu koloba, moto moko ayaki wuta na ndako ya Jairisi, mokambi ya ndako ya mayangani, mpe alobaki: — Mwana na yo ya mwasi akufi. Kotungisa lisusu Moteyi te.
50 But Jesus, hearing this, spoke to the President: “Do not be afraid; only have faith, and she shall yet be delivered.”
Lokola Yesu ayokaki ye koloba bongo, alobaki na Jairisi: — Kobanga te! Ndima kaka, mpe akobika na bokono na ye.
51 When he reached the house, he did not allow any one to go in with him, except Peter, John, and James, and the child’s father and mother.
Tango Yesu akomaki na ndako ya Jairisi, atikaki moto moko te kokota elongo na Ye, longola kaka Petelo, Yoane, Jake, tata mpe mama ya mwana.
52 And every one was weeping and mourning for her. “Do not weep,” Jesus said, “she is not dead; she is asleep.”
Bato nyonso bazalaki kolela mpe koyoka mawa mpo na mwana yango. Kasi Yesu alobaki: — Bokata kolela; akufi te, azali nde ya kolala!
53 They began to laugh at him, for they knew that she was dead.
Bato basekaki Yesu, wana bayebaki ete asilaki kokufa.
54 But, taking her by the hand, Jesus said in a loud voice: “Child, rise!”
Kasi Yesu asimbaki ye na loboko mpe alobaki: — Mwana na Ngai, lamuka!
55 The child’s spirit returned to her, and she instantly stood up; and Jesus ordered them to give her something to eat.
Pema ya bomoi ezongaki kati na mwana; mpe mbala moko, atelemaki. Bongo Yesu atindaki bango kopesa ye eloko ya kolia.
56 Her parents were amazed, but Jesus impressed on them that they were not to tell any one what had happened.
Baboti na ye bakamwaki, kasi Yesu apekisaki bango koloba na moto ata moko te likambo oyo ewuti kosalema.
