Luke 9
1 He called the twelve together and gave them power and authority over all demons, and to cure diseases.
Yesu abengaki bayekoli na Ye zomi na mibale, apesaki bango nguya mpe bokonzi ya kobengana milimo nyonso ya mabe mpe ya kobikisa bokono;
2 He sent them out to preach God’s Kingdom and to heal the sick.
mpe atindaki bango kosakola Bokonzi ya Nzambe mpe kobikisa babeli.
3 He said to them, “Take nothing for your journey—no staffs, nor wallet, nor bread, nor money. Don’t have two tunics each.
Alobaki na bango: — Bomema eloko moko te mpo na mobembo, ezala lingenda, sakosi, eloko ya kolia to mbongo; bozala na banzambala mibale te na moto.
4 Into whatever house you enter, stay there, and depart from there.
Na ndako nyonso oyo bokokota, bovanda kuna kino bokolongwa na engumba.
5 As many as don’t receive you, when you depart from that city, shake off even the dust from your feet for a testimony against them.”
Soki bato baboyi koyamba bino, botika engumba na bango mpe bopupola putulu ya makolo na bino lokola litatoli mpo na kotelemela bango.
6 They departed and went throughout the villages, preaching the Good News and healing everywhere.
Bayekoli bakendeki, batambolaki na mboka moko na moko mpe bazalaki kosakola Sango Malamu mpe kobikisa babeli na bisika nyonso.
7 Now Herod the tetrarch heard of all that was done by him; and he was very perplexed, because it was said by some that John had risen from the dead,
Erode, moyangeli ya etuka, ayokaki sango ya makambo nyonso oyo ezalaki koleka; amitungisaki makasi, pamba te bamoko bazalaki koloba: « Yoane asekwi, »
8 and by some that Elijah had appeared, and by others that one of the old prophets had risen again.
bamosusu: « Eliya abimi, » mpe bamosusu lisusu: « Moko kati na basakoli ya kala asekwi. »
9 Herod said, “I beheaded John, but who is this about whom I hear such things?” He sought to see him.
Kasi Erode azalaki komilobela: « Ngai nde nakataki Yoane moto; bongo moto oyo nazali koyoka makambo minene boye na tina na ye, azali penza nani? » Boye alukaki kokutana na Yesu.
10 The apostles, when they had returned, told him what things they had done. He took them and withdrew apart to a desert region of a city called Bethsaida.
Tango bantoma bazongaki, bayebisaki Yesu makambo oyo basalaki. Bongo Yesu amemaki bango elongo na Ye, mpe bakendeki na engumba Betisaida, na esika oyo bazalaki kaka bango moko.
11 But the multitudes, perceiving it, followed him. He welcomed them, spoke to them of God’s Kingdom, and he cured those who needed healing.
Kasi tango ebele ya bato bayokaki bongo, balandaki Ye. Yesu ayambaki bango, ateyaki bango na tina na Bokonzi ya Nzambe, abikisaki mpe bato oyo bazalaki na posa ya lobiko na bokono ya nzoto.
12 The day began to wear away; and the twelve came and said to him, “Send the multitude away, that they may go into the surrounding villages and farms and lodge and get food, for we are here in a deserted place.”
Awa ekomaki pokwa, bantoma zomi na mibale bapusanaki pene ya Yesu mpe balobaki na Ye: — Zongisa bato oyo mpo ete bakende komilukela bilei mpe bisika ya kolala, kati na bamboka mpe bilanga ya zingazinga, pamba te tozali awa kati na esika ebombama.
13 But he said to them, “You give them something to eat.” They said, “We have no more than five loaves and two fish, unless we should go and buy food for all these people.”
Kasi Yesu alobaki na bango: — Bopesa bango bino moko biloko ya kolia. Bazongisaki: — Tozali kaka na mapa mitano mpe bambisi mibale; loba nde tokende kosomba bilei mpo na ebele ya bato oyo nyonso.
14 For they were about five thousand men. He said to his disciples, “Make them sit down in groups of about fifty each.”
Ezalaki wana na mibali pene nkoto mitano. Yesu alobaki na bayekoli na Ye: — Bovandisa bango na masanga; tika ete lisanga moko na moko ezala na bato tuku mitano.
15 They did so, and made them all sit down.
Bayekoli basalaki bongo, mpe bato nyonso avandaki.
16 He took the five loaves and the two fish, and looking up to the sky, he blessed them, broke them, and gave them to the disciples to set before the multitude.
Yesu akamataki mapa yango mitano mpe bambisi yango mibale, azongisaki matondi epai ya Nzambe mpe akataki mapa yango; bongo apesaki biteni na yango epai ya bayekoli mpo ete bakabola yango epai ya bato.
17 They ate and were all filled. They gathered up twelve baskets of broken pieces that were left over.
Bato nyonso baliaki mpe batondaki; bayekoli balokotaki biteni oyo etikalaki, mpe biteni yango etondisaki bitunga zomi na mibale.
18 As he was praying alone, the disciples were near him, and he asked them, “Who do the multitudes say that I am?”
Mokolo moko, wana Yesu azalaki kosambela na pembeni, mpe bayekoli na Ye bazalaki elongo na Ye, atunaki bango: — Bato bazali koloba nini na tina na Ngai? Mpo na bango, Ngai nazali nani?
19 They answered, “‘John the Baptizer,’ but others say, ‘Elijah,’ and others, that one of the old prophets has risen again.”
Bazongisaki: — Bamoko bazali koloba ete ozali Yoane Mobatisi; bamosusu, Eliya; mpe bamosusu lisusu, moko kati na basakoli ya kala oyo asili kosekwa.
20 He said to them, “But who do you say that I am?” Peter answered, “The Christ of God.”
Yesu atunaki bango lisusu: — Bongo bino, bolobaka ete Ngai nazali nani? Petelo azongisaki: — Ozali Masiya oyo Nzambe atindi.
21 But he warned them and commanded them to tell this to no one,
Yesu apesaki bango mitindo ete bameka koloba bongo te ata na moto moko.
22 saying, “The Son of Man must suffer many things, and be rejected by the elders, chief priests, and scribes, and be killed, and the third day be raised up.”
Mpe alobaki: — Mwana na Moto asengeli komona pasi mingi; bakambi ya bato, bakonzi ya Banganga-Nzambe mpe balakisi ya Mobeko basengeli koboya Ye. Basengeli koboma Ye, mpe asengeli kosekwa na mokolo ya misato.
23 He said to all, “If anyone desires to come after me, let him deny himself, take up his cross, and follow me.
Bongo Yesu alobaki na bango nyonso: — Moto nyonso oyo alingi kolanda Ngai asengeli komiboya, kokamata ekulusu na ye mokolo na mokolo mpe kolanda Ngai.
24 For whoever desires to save his life will lose it, but whoever will lose his life for my sake will save it.
Pamba te, moto nyonso oyo akolinga kobikisa bomoi na ye akobungisa yango, kasi moto nyonso oyo akobungisa bomoi na ye mpo na Ngai akobikisa yango.
25 For what does it profit a man if he gains the whole world, and loses or forfeits his own self?
Litomba nini ezali mpo na moto, soki azwi mokili mobimba, kasi amibungisi to abebisi bomoi na ye?
26 For whoever will be ashamed of me and of my words, of him will the Son of Man be ashamed when he comes in his glory, and the glory of the Father, and of the holy angels.
Moto nyonso oyo akoyoka Ngai mpe maloba na Ngai soni, Mwana na Moto akoyoka ye soni, tango akoya kati na nkembo na Ye mpe kati na nkembo ya Tata mpe ya ba-anjelu ya bule.
27 But I tell you the truth: There are some of those who stand here who will in no way taste of death until they see God’s Kingdom.”
Nazali koloba na bino penza ya solo: kati na bato oyo bazali awa, ezali na ba-oyo bakokufa te kino bakomona bokonzi ya Nzambe.
28 About eight days after these sayings, he took with him Peter, John, and James, and went up onto the mountain to pray.
Mikolo pene mwambe sima na Yesu koloba bongo, azwaki elongo na Ye, Petelo, Yoane mpe Jake, mpe amataki na ngomba mpo na kokende kosambela.
29 As he was praying, the appearance of his face was altered, and his clothing became white and dazzling.
Wana azalaki kosambela, elongi na Ye ebongwanaki, mpe bilamba na Ye ekomaki kongenga makasi lokola pole ya mikalikali.
30 Behold, two men were talking with him, who were Moses and Elijah,
Mibali mibale bazalaki kosolola na Yesu: Moyize mpe Eliya
31 who appeared in glory and spoke of his departure, which he was about to accomplish at Jerusalem.
oyo babimaki kati na kongenga ya nkembo; bazalaki kolobela na tina na bozongi na Ye, oyo asengeli kokokisa na Yelusalemi.
32 Now Peter and those who were with him were heavy with sleep, but when they were fully awake, they saw his glory, and the two men who stood with him.
Petelo mpe baninga na ye balalaki pongi makasi. Tango kaka balamukaki na pongi, bamonaki nkembo ya Yesu elongo na mibali wana mibale bazali ya kotelema elongo na Ye.
33 As they were parting from him, Peter said to Jesus, “Master, it is good for us to be here. Let’s make three tents: one for you, one for Moses, and one for Elijah,” not knowing what he said.
Wana mibali yango bazalaki kokabwana na Yesu, Petelo alobaki: — Moteyi, eleki malamu mpo na biso kozala awa! Totonga bandako misato ya kapo: moko mpo na Yo, moko mpo na Moyize, mpe moko mpo na Eliya. Solo, Petelo ayebaki te makambo oyo azalaki koloba.
34 While he said these things, a cloud came and overshadowed them, and they were afraid as they entered into the cloud.
Wana azalaki nanu koloba bongo, lipata moko ebimaki mpe ezipaki bango. Somo ekangaki bayekoli, wana bakotaki kati na lipata yango.
35 A voice came out of the cloud, saying, “This is my beloved Son. Listen to him!”
Mongongo moko eyokanaki wuta kati na lipata yango, elobaki: — Oyo azali Mwana na Ngai, oyo napona; boyoka Ye!
36 When the voice came, Jesus was found alone. They were silent, and told no one in those days any of the things which they had seen.
Sima na mongongo yango koloba, bamonaki ete Yesu azali Ye moko. Bayekoli babombaki likambo yango mpo na bango moko mpe, na mikolo wana, bayebisaki ata na moto moko te makambo oyo bamonaki.
37 On the next day, when they had come down from the mountain, a great multitude met him.
Mokolo oyo elandaki, tango bakitaki na ngomba, ebele ya bato bayaki kokutana na Yesu.
38 Behold, a man from the crowd called out, saying, “Teacher, I beg you to look at my son, for he is my only born child.
Mobali moko kati na ebele yango ya bato agangaki: — Moteyi, nazali kosenga na Yo ete otala mwana na ngai ya mobali, pamba te nazali kaka na mwana moko!
39 Behold, a spirit takes him, he suddenly cries out, and it convulses him so that he foams; and it hardly departs from him, bruising him severely.
Molimo moko etungisaka ye: soki ekangi ye, mwana akoganga na mbala moko, ekoningisa ye makasi kino kokweyisa ye na mabele; mwana akokangama mpe akobimisa fulufulu na monoko. Etikaka ye na pasi sima na kozokisa ye.
40 I begged your disciples to cast it out, and they couldn’t.”
Nasengaki na bayekoli na Yo ete babengana molimo yango, kasi balongaki te.
41 Jesus answered, “Faithless and perverse generation, how long shall I be with you and bear with you? Bring your son here.”
Yesu alobaki: — Bino, ekeke ya bato mabe mpe bazanga kondima, tango boni nasengeli lisusu kovanda elongo na bino mpe koyikela bino mpiko? Mema mwana na yo awa.
42 While he was still coming, the demon threw him down and convulsed him violently. But Jesus rebuked the unclean spirit, healed the boy, and gave him back to his father.
Wana mwana azalaki kopusana, molimo mabe ebwakaki ye na mabele mpe ebandaki koningisa ye makasi. Kasi Yesu apesaki mitindo na molimo mabe yango ete ebima kati na mwana, abikisaki mwana na pasi na ye mpe azongisaki ye na maboko ya tata na ye.
43 They were all astonished at the majesty of God. But while all were marveling at all the things which Jesus did, he said to his disciples,
Mpe bato nyonso bakamwaki mingi monene ya Nzambe. Wana bato nyonso bazalaki kokamwa makambo nyonso oyo Yesu asalaki, alobaki na bayekoli na Ye:
44 “Let these words sink into your ears, for the Son of Man will be delivered up into the hands of men.”
— Boyoka na bokebi makambo oyo nazali koyebisa bino: Bazali kokaba Mwana na Moto na maboko ya bato.
45 But they didn’t understand this saying. It was concealed from them, that they should not perceive it, and they were afraid to ask him about this saying.
Kasi bayekoli basosolaki te makambo yango; ndimbola na yango ezalaki ya kobombama mpo na bango, mpo ete basosola te tina na yango, mpe bazalaki kobanga kopesa Yesu mituna na tina na yango.
46 An argument arose among them about which of them was the greatest.
Tembe moko ebimaki kati na bayekoli; bazalaki koluka koyeba moto oyo aleki monene kati na bango.
47 Jesus, perceiving the reasoning of their hearts, took a little child, and set him by his side,
Kasi lokola Yesu ayebaki makanisi na bango, akamataki mwana moke, atiaki ye pembeni na Ye,
48 and said to them, “Whoever receives this little child in my name receives me. Whoever receives me receives him who sent me. For whoever is least among you all, this one will be great.”
mpe alobaki na bango: — Moto nyonso oyo ayambi mwana oyo ya moke na Kombo na Ngai, ayambi nde Ngai moko; mpe moto nyonso oyo ayambi Ngai ayambi nde Motindi na Ngai. Pamba te, ezali ye oyo aleki moke kati na bino nyonso nde aleki monene.
49 John answered, “Master, we saw someone casting out demons in your name, and we forbade him, because he doesn’t follow with us.”
Yoane alobaki: — Moteyi, tomonaki moto moko kobengana milimo mabe na Kombo na Yo, mpe tomekaki kopekisa ye, pamba te azali moto ya lisanga na biso te.
50 Jesus said to him, “Don’t forbid him, for he who is not against us is for us.”
Yesu alobaki: — Bopekisa ye te, pamba te moto nyonso oyo atelemelaka bino te azali mpo na bino.
51 It came to pass, when the days were near that he should be taken up, he intently set his face to go to Jerusalem
Lokola tango oyo Yesu asengeli komemama na Likolo ekomaki pene, Yesu azwaki mokano ya kokende na Yelusalemi.
52 and sent messengers before his face. They went and entered into a village of the Samaritans, so as to prepare for him.
Atindaki bantoma liboso na Ye; boye wana bazalaki kokende, bakotaki na mboka moko ya bato ya Samari mpo na kobongisela Ye biloko.
53 They didn’t receive him, because he was traveling with his face set toward Jerusalem.
Kasi bato ya Samari baboyaki koyamba Ye, mpo ete azalaki kokende na Yelusalemi.
54 When his disciples, James and John, saw this, they said, “Lord, do you want us to command fire to come down from the sky and destroy them, just as Elijah did?”
Tango bayekoli, Jake mpe Yoane, bamonaki bongo, balobaki: — Nkolo, olingi ete tobelela moto ete ekitela bango kowuta na likolo mpo na kobebisa bango?
55 But he turned and rebuked them, “You don’t know of what kind of spirit you are.
Yesu abalukaki mpo na kotala bango malamu mpe apamelaki bango: [— Boni, boyebi molimo oyo ezali kotindika bino na makanisi ya boye? Mwana na Moto ayaki te mpo na koboma bato, kasi mpo na kobikisa bango.]
56 For the Son of Man didn’t come to destroy men’s lives, but to save them.” They went to another village.
Bongo Yesu elongo na bayekoli na Ye bakendeki na mboka mosusu.
57 As they went on the way, a certain man said to him, “I want to follow you wherever you go, Lord.”
Wana bazalaki kotambola na nzela, mobali moko alobaki na Yesu: — Nakolanda Yo na esika nyonso oyo okokende.
58 Jesus said to him, “The foxes have holes and the birds of the sky have nests, but the Son of Man has no place to lay his head.”
Yesu azongiselaki ye: — Bambwa ya zamba ezalaka na madusu na yango na se ya mabele mpo na kobombama, mpe bandeke ya likolo ezalaka na bazala na yango; kasi Mwana na Moto azangi esika ya kolala mpo na kopema.
59 He said to another, “Follow me!” But he said, “Lord, allow me first to go and bury my father.”
Yesu alobaki na mobali mosusu: — Landa Ngai. Kasi mobali yango azongiselaki Ye: — Nkolo, pesa ngai nzela ya kokende nanu kokunda tata na ngai.
60 But Jesus said to him, “Leave the dead to bury their own dead, but you go and announce God’s Kingdom.”
Yesu alobaki na ye: — Tika bakufi bakunda bakufi na bango; kasi yo, kende kosakola Bokonzi ya Nzambe.
61 Another also said, “I want to follow you, Lord, but first allow me to say good-bye to those who are at my house.”
Mosusu lisusu alobaki na Ye: — Nkolo, nakolanda Yo; kasi pesa ngai nzela ya kozonga nanu mpo na kokende kopesa libota na ngai mbote ya suka.
62 But Jesus said to him, “No one, having put his hand to the plow and looking back, is fit for God’s Kingdom.”
Yesu azongiselaki ye: — Moto oyo asimbi kongo mpo na kobalola mabele ya bilanga, kasi azali kotala na sima, azali na tina moko te mpo na Bokonzi ya Nzambe.
