Mark 8
1 In those days, when there was a very great multitude, and they had nothing to eat, Yeshua called his disciples to himself and said to them,
Na mikolo yango, ebele penza ya bato bayaki lisusu kosangana zingazinga ya Yesu. Lokola bazalaki na eloko ya kolia te, Yesu abengaki bayekoli na Ye mpe alobaki na bango:
2 “I have compassion on the multitude, because they have stayed with me now three days and have nothing to eat.
— Nazali koyokela bato oyo mawa, pamba te basali mikolo misato elongo na Ngai mpe bazali na eloko ya kolia te.
3 If I send them away fasting to their home, they will faint on the way, for some of them have come a long way.”
Soki nazongisi bango na bandako na bango na nzala, bakolemba nzoto na nzela; pamba te, bato mosusu kati na bango bawutaki mosika.
4 His disciples answered him, “From where could one satisfy these people with bread here in a deserted place?”
Bayekoli na Ye bazongisaki: — Kati na esobe oyo, esika nini tokoki kozwa mapa mpo na koleisa bango mpe batonda?
5 He asked them, “How many loaves do you have?” They said, “Seven.”
Yesu atunaki bango: — Bozali na mapa boni? Bazongisaki: — Tozali na mapa sambo.
6 He commanded the multitude to sit down on the ground, and he took the seven loaves. Having given thanks, he broke them and gave them to his disciples to serve, and they served the multitude.
Boye, alobaki na ebele ya bato yango ete bavanda na mabele. Bongo azwaki mapa yango sambo, azongisaki matondi epai ya Nzambe, akataki yango mpe apesaki biteni na yango epai ya bayekoli na Ye mpo ete bakabola yango epai ya bato. Mpe bayekoli basalaki bongo.
7 They also had a few small fish. Having blessed them, he said to serve these also.
Bazalaki mpe na mwa ndambo ya bambisi ya mike-mike. Apambolaki yango mpe alobaki na bayekoli na Ye ete bakabola yango.
8 They ate and were filled. They took up seven baskets of broken pieces that were left over.
Bato nyonso baliaki mpe batondaki. Bongo bayekoli balokotaki biteni oyo etikalaki, batondisaki na yango bitunga sambo.
9 Those who had eaten were about four thousand. Then he sent them away.
Bato bazalaki pene nkoto minei. Bongo, Yesu azongisaki bango.
10 Immediately he entered into the boat with his disciples and came into the region of Dalmanutha.
Mbala moko, Yesu amataki na bwato elongo na bayekoli na Ye mpe akendeki na etuka ya Dalimanuta.
11 The Pharisees came out and began to question him, seeking from him a sign from heaven and testing him.
Bafarizeo bayaki mpe bakomaki kotuna Yesu mituna; mpo na komeka Ye, basengaki na Ye ete asala elembo moko kowuta na Likolo.
12 He sighed deeply in his spirit and said, “Why does this generation seek a sign? Most certainly I tell you, no sign will be given to this generation.”
Yesu ayokaki mawa makasi kati na molimo na Ye mpe alobaki: « Mpo na nini bato ya ekeke oyo bazali kosenga elembo? Nazali koloba na bino penza ya solo: bakopesamela elembo moko te! »
13 He left them, and again entering into the boat, departed to the other side.
Bongo atikaki bango, amataki lisusu na bwato mpe akendeki na ngambo mosusu ya ebale.
14 They forgot to take bread; and they didn’t have more than one loaf in the boat with them.
Bayekoli babosanaki komema mapa; bazalaki kaka na lipa moko kati na bwato.
15 He warned them, saying, “Take heed: beware of the yeast of the Pharisees and the yeast of Herod.”
Yesu akebisaki bango: — Bofungola miso mpe bosala keba na levire ya Bafarizeo mpe ya Erode!
16 They reasoned with one another, saying, “It’s because we have no bread.”
Bayekoli bakomaki kolobana bango na bango: — Azali koloba bongo mpo ete tozali na mapa te.
17 Yeshua, perceiving it, said to them, “Why do you reason that it’s because you have no bread? Don’t you perceive yet or understand? Is your heart still hardened?
Yesu asosolaki makanisi na bango; alobaki: — Bozali kolobana bino na bino mpo ete bozali na mapa te! Mpo na nini? Boni, bozwi kaka bososoli nanu te; mayele na bino ezali kaka ya kozipama; bozali na mitema makasi;
18 Having eyes, don’t you see? Having ears, don’t you hear? Don’t you remember?
bozali na miso, kasi bozali komona te; bozali na matoyi, kasi bozali koyoka te? Bobosani penza!
19 When I broke the five loaves amongst the five thousand, how many baskets full of broken pieces did you take up?” They told him, “Twelve.”
Tango nakataki mapa mitano mpo na kokabolela bato nkoto mitano, bozongaki na motango boni ya bitunga etonda na biteni ya mapa, sima na kokabolela bato? Bazongisaki: — Bitunga zomi na mibale.
20 “When the seven loaves fed the four thousand, how many baskets full of broken pieces did you take up?” They told him, “Seven.”
Bongo tango nakataki mapa sambo mpo na kokabolela bato nkoto minei, bozongaki na bitunga boni etonda na biteni ya mapa? Bazongisaki: — Tolokotaki bitumba sambo.
21 He asked them, “Don’t you understand yet?”
Alobaki na bango: — Bozwi kaka bososoli nanu te?
22 He came to Bethsaida. They brought a blind man to him and begged him to touch him.
Tango bakomaki na Betisaida, bato bamemaki epai na Yesu moto moko akufa miso; mpe basengaki na Yesu ete asimba ye.
23 He took hold of the blind man by the hand, and brought him out of the village. When he had spat on his eyes, and laid his hands on him, he asked him if he saw anything.
Yesu asimbaki loboko ya mokufi miso mpe amemaki ye na libanda ya mboka; bongo apakolaki ye soyi na miso, atielaki ye maboko mpe atunaki ye: — Boni, omoni eloko?
24 He looked up, and said, “I see men, but I see them like walking trees.”
Moto yango atalaki mpe alobaki: — Nazali komona bato, kasi bazali lokola banzete oyo ezali kotambola.
25 Then again he laid his hands on his eyes. He looked intently, and was restored, and saw everyone clearly.
Bongo Yesu atiaki lisusu maboko na Ye na miso ya moto yango, mpe moto yango abikaki. Boye akomaki komona malamu penza.
26 He sent him away to his house, saying, “Don’t enter into the village, nor tell anyone in the village.”
Yesu alobaki na ye: — Kende na ndako na yo, komeka kutu te kozonga na mboka.
27 Yeshua went out, with his disciples, into the villages of Caesarea Philippi. On the way he asked his disciples, “Who do men say that I am?”
Yesu mpe bayekoli na Ye bakendeki na bamboka ya Sezarea ya Filipo. Na nzela, atunaki bango: — Bato bazali koloba ete Ngai nazali nani?
28 They told him, “Yochanan the Immerser, and others say Elijah, but others, one of the prophets.”
Bazongisaki: — Bamoko balobaka ete ozali Yoane Mobatisi; bamosusu, Eliya; mpe bamosusu lisusu, moko kati na basakoli.
29 He said to them, “But who do you say that I am?” Peter answered, “You are the Messiah.”
Yesu atunaki bango: — Bongo bino, bolobaka ete Ngai nazali nani? Petelo azongiselaki Ye: — Ozali Masiya.
30 He commanded them that they should tell no one about him.
Yesu apekisaki bango makasi koloba bongo na moto ata moko.
31 He began to teach them that the Son of Man must suffer many things, and be rejected by the elders, the chief priests, and the scribes, and be killed, and after three days rise again.
Yesu akomaki koteya bango: — Mwana na Moto asengeli komona pasi mingi; bakambi, bakonzi ya Banganga-Nzambe mpe balakisi ya Mobeko basengeli koboya Ye, basengeli koboma Ye, mpe, sima na mikolo misato, asengeli kosekwa.
32 He spoke to them openly. Peter took him and began to rebuke him.
Azalaki koloba makambo yango na polele penza. Bongo Petelo abendaki Yesu na pembeni mpe akomaki kopamela Ye: — Koloba bongo te!
33 But he, turning around and seeing his disciples, rebuked Peter, and said, “Get behind me, Satan! For you have in mind not the things of God, but the things of men.”
Kasi Yesu abalukaki, atalaki bayekoli na Ye mpe apamelaki Petelo: — Mosika na Ngai, Satana! Makanisi na yo ezali makanisi ya Nzambe te, ezali penza makanisi ya bato.
34 He called the multitude to himself with his disciples and said to them, “Whoever wants to come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me.
Yesu abengaki ebele ya bato mpe bayekoli na Ye, alobaki na bango: — Moto nyonso oyo alingi kolanda Ngai asengeli komiboya ye moko, kokamata ekulusu na ye mpe kolanda Ngai.
35 For whoever wants to save his life will lose it; and whoever will lose his life for my sake and the sake of the Good News 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 mpe mpo na Sango Malamu akobikisa yango.
36 For what does it profit a man to gain the whole world and forfeit his life?
Litomba nini ezali mpo na moto, soki azwi mokili mobimba, kasi abungisi bomoi na ye?
37 For what will a man give in exchange for his life?
Moto akoki penza kopesa nini mpo na kosikola bomoi na ye?
38 For whoever will be ashamed of me and of my words in this adulterous and sinful generation, the Son of Man also will be ashamed of him when he comes in his Father’s glory with the holy angels.”
Moto nyonso oyo akoyoka Ngai mpe maloba na Ngai soni, kati na bato ya ekeke oyo, ba-oyo batosaka Nzambe te mpe batondi na masumu, Mwana na Moto mpe akoyoka ye soni, tango akoya elongo na ba-anjelu ya bule kati na nkembo ya Tata na Ye.
