Luka 18
1 Yesu alobaki na bayekoli na Ye lisese moko mpo na kolakisa bango ete basengeli kosambelaka tango nyonso, na kolemba te.
He was speaking then (and *ko) a parable to them about it needing always to pray (they *no) and not to lose heart
2 Alobaki: — Kati na engumba moko, ezalaki na mosambisi moko oyo azalaki kotosa Nzambe te, mpe azalaki komemia bato te.
saying; A judge certain there was in a certain city God not fearing and man not respecting.
3 Kati na engumba yango, ezalaki mpe na mwasi moko akufisa mobali; azalaki koya mbala na mbala epai ya mosambisi yango mpo na koloba na ye: « Longisa ngai liboso ya monguna na ngai. »
A widow then there was in the city that and she was coming to him saying; do avenge me of the adversary of mine.
4 Wuta tango molayi, mosambisi yango aboyaki. Kasi suka na suka, amilobelaki: « Atako natosaka Nzambe te mpe namemiaka bato te,
And not (he was desiring [to do] *N+kO) for a time. afterward however he said within himself; If even God not I fear (nor *N+kO) man respect,
5 kasi lokola motungisi ya mwasi oyo akufisa mobali eleki ndelo, nakolongisa ye kaka, mpo ete akoba te koyaka tango nyonso kino kozangisa ngai kimia. »
because yet it occasioning me trouble widow this I will avenge her, so that not to end coming she may exhaust me.
6 Nkolo abakisaki: — Boyoka maloba ya mosambisi mabe oyo!
Said then the Lord; do hear what the judge unrighteous says;
7 Boni, Nzambe akolongisa te baponami na Ye, tango bagangaka epai na Ye butu mpe moyi? Boni, akozelisa bango?
And God certainly not (may do *N+kO) the avenging of the elect of Him the [ones] crying out (to *k) (to Him *N+kO) day and night, and (be patient *N+kO) in regard to them?
8 Nazali koloba na bino: akolongisa bango noki. Nzokande, ekozala ndenge nini tango Mwana na Moto akoya! Boni, akokuta kondima kati na mokili?
I say to you that He will carry out the avenging of them with speed. Nevertheless the Son of Man having come surely not will He find faith on the earth?
9 Epai ya bato oyo bamimonaki bato ya sembo mpe batiolaki bato mosusu, Yesu alobaki lisusu lisese oyo:
He spoke now also to some having trusted in themselves that they are righteous and (despising *NK+o) the others parable this.
10 — Bato mibale bakendeki na Tempelo mpo na kosambela: moko azalaki Mofarizeo; mpe mosusu, mofutisi mpako.
Men two went up into the temple to pray, the one a Pharisee and the other a tax collector.
11 Mofarizeo abendanaki ye moko na pembeni mpe asambelaki: « Oh Nzambe, nazali kotonda Yo, mpo ete nazali te lokola bato mosusu oyo bazali miyibi, bato mabe, bato na bikobo to mpe lokola mofutisi mpako oyo.
The Pharisee having stood toward himself these things was praying; O God, I thank You that not I am (like *NK+o) the rest of the men — swindlers, unrighteous, adulterers — or even like this tax collector.
12 Nakilaka bilei mbala mibale na poso mpe napesaka eteni ya zomi ya nyonso oyo nazwaka. »
I fast twice in the week, I tithe all things as much as I gain.
13 Kasi mofutisi mpako atelemaki mwa mosika; amekaki ata te kotombola miso na ye na likolo, kasi atiaki loboko na ye na tolo mpe alobaki: « Oh Nzambe, yokela ngai mawa, pamba te nazali moto ya masumu! »
(and *ko) (but *no) the tax collector afar off having stood not was willing not even the eyes to lift up to heaven but was striking (into *k) the breast (of him *NK+o) saying: O God, do be merciful to me to the sinner!
14 Nazali koloba na bino: mofutisi mpako azongaki na ndako na ye sima na Nzambe kokomisa ye moto ya sembo, kasi Mofarizeo te. Pamba te moto nyonso oyo amitombolaka, bakokitisa ye; mpe oyo amikitisaka, bakotombola ye.
I say to you; went down this one justified to the house of him (rather than *k) (compared with *n+o) (that [one]. *N+kO) For everyone who is exalting himself will be humbled, the [one] however humbling himself will be exalted.
15 Bato bazalaki mpe komema bana mike epai ya Yesu mpo ete atia bango maboko. Tango bayekoli bamonaki bongo, bapamelaki bango.
They were bringing then to Him also the infants that them He may touch; having seen however the disciples (were rebuking *N+kO) them.
16 Kasi Yesu abengaki bana mpe alobaki: — Botika bana mike baya epai na Ngai; bopekisa bango te koya epai na Ngai, pamba te Bokonzi ya Nzambe ezali mpo na bato oyo bazali lokola bana mike.
But Jesus (called *N+kO) them (speaking; *N+kO) do permit the little children to come to Me and not do forbid them; for of such is the kingdom of God.
17 Nazali koloba na bino penza ya solo: moto nyonso oyo azali koyamba te Bokonzi ya Nzambe lokola mwana moke akotikala kokota te kati na Bokonzi yango.
Amen I say to you; who[ever] (maybe *N+kO) not shall receive the kingdom of God as a child, certainly not shall enter into it.
18 Mokambi moko ya Bayuda atunaki na Yesu: — Moteyi malamu, nasengeli kosala nini mpo ete nazwa bomoi ya seko? (aiōnios g166)
And asked a certain Him ruler saying; Teacher good, what having done life eternal will I inherit? (aiōnios g166)
19 Yesu azongisaki: — Mpo na nini ozali kobenga Ngai « Moteyi malamu? » Moko te azali malamu, longola kaka Ye moko Nzambe.
Said then to him Jesus; Why Me you call good? No [one is] good only except one God.
20 Oyebi mibeko oyo: « Okosalaka ekobo te, okobomaka te, okoyibaka te, okolobaka te matatoli ya lokuta mpo na kokosela moninga na yo makambo, okopesaka tata na yo mpe mama na yo lokumu. »
The commandments You know: Not shall you commit adultery, not shall you murder, not shall you steal, not shall you bear false witness, do honor the father of you and the mother (of you. *k)
21 Mokambi yango azongisaki: — Natosaka nyonso wana wuta bolenge na ngai.
And he said; These all (I kept *N+kO) from [the] youth (of mine. *ko)
22 Sima na Yesu koyoka bongo, alobaki na ye: — Ozangi eloko moko. Teka biloko na yo nyonso, kabola mbongo oyo okozwa epai ya babola, mpe okozwa bomengo kati na Likolo. Sima na yango, yaka mpe landa Ngai.
Having heard then (these things *k) Jesus said to him; Yet one thing to you is lacking: All as much as you have do sell and do distribute to [the] poor, and you will have treasure in (the *no) (heavens; *N+kO) and come, do follow Me.
23 Tango mokambi ya Bayuda ayokaki bongo, akomaki mawa-mawa, pamba te azalaki na bozwi mingi.
And having heard these things very sorrowful (he became; *N+kO) he was for rich extremely.
24 Yesu atalaki ye mpe alobaki: — Ezali pasi mpo na mozwi kokota kati na Bokonzi ya Nzambe!
Having seen then him Jesus sorrowful became saying; How difficult [for] those riches having [when] into the kingdom of God (they enter. *N+kO)
25 Nzokande, eleki pete mpo na shamo kolekela na lidusu ya tonga; kasi ezali penza pasi mpo na mozwi kokota kati na Bokonzi ya Nzambe.
Easier for it is a camel through (an eye of a needle *N+kO) to go than a rich man into the kingdom of God to enter.
26 Bato oyo bayokaki Ye koloba bongo batunaki: — Bongo nani penza akoki kobikisama?
Said then those having heard; Then who is able to be saved?
27 Yesu azongisaki: — Oyo ekoki kosalema te elongo na bato, ekoki kosalema elongo na Nzambe.
But He said; The [things] impossible with men possible with God are.
28 Petelo alobaki na Yesu: — Nkolo, totiki nyonso oyo tozalaki na yango mpo na kolanda Yo!
Said then Peter; Behold we ourselves (having abandoned *N+kO) ([our] own [things] *N+kO) (and *k) followed You.
29 Yesu alobaki na bango: — Nazali koloba na bino penza ya solo: moto nyonso oyo atiki ndako na ye, mwasi na ye, bandeko na ye, baboti na ye to bana na ye, mpo na kozwa Bokonzi ya Nzambe lokola litomba,
And He said to them; Amen I say to you that no [one] there is who has left house or wife or brothers or parents or children for the sake of the kingdom of God,
31 Yesu abendaki na pembeni bayekoli na Ye zomi na mibale mpe alobaki na bango: — Tozali kokende na Yelusalemi; makambo nyonso oyo basakoli bakoma na tina na Mwana na Moto ekokokisama.
Having taken aside then the Twelve He said to them; Behold we go up to (Jerusalem, *N+kO) and will be accomplished all things which written through the prophets about the Son of Man;
32 Bakokaba Ye na maboko ya bapagano, bakoseka Ye, bakofinga Ye, bakobwakela Ye soyi,
He will be betrayed for to the Gentiles and will be mocked and will be insulted and will be spit upon,
33 bakobeta Ye fimbu mpe bakoboma Ye; mpe, na mokolo ya misato, akosekwa.
And having flogged [Him] they will kill Him, and on the day third He will rise again.
34 Bayekoli basosolaki ata eloko moko te kati na makambo yango; ndimbola na yango ezalaki ya kobombama mpo na bango, mpe bayebaki te makambo oyo Yesu azalaki kolobela.
And they themselves no [thing] of these things understood, and was declaration this hidden from them, and neither they were knowing the [things] being spoken.
35 Wana Yesu akomaki pene ya Jeriko, ezalaki na mokufi miso pembeni ya nzela, azalaki ya kovanda mpe azalaki kosenga-senga.
It came to pass then in the drawing near by Him to Jericho a blind [man] certain was sitting beside the road (begging. *N+kO)
36 Tango ayokaki makelele ya ebele ya bato oyo bazali koleka, atunaki: — Likambo nini oyo ezali kosalema?
Having heard now a crowd passing along he was asking what (maybe *o) would be this.
37 Balobaki na ye: — Yesu ya Nazareti azali koleka!
They told then to him that Jesus of Nazareth is passing by.
38 Agangaki: — Yesu, Mwana ya Davidi, yokela ngai mawa!
And he called out saying; Jesus Son of David, do have mercy on me.
39 Bato oyo bazalaki liboso bapamelaki ye mpe balobaki na ye ete akanga monoko; kasi, ye, agangaki lisusu makasi koleka: — Mwana ya Davidi, yokela ngai mawa!
And those going before were rebuking him that (he may be silent. *N+kO) He himself however much more was crying out; Son of David, do have mercy on me.
40 Yesu atelemaki mpe atindaki ete bamemela Ye mokufi miso yango. Tango akomaki pene na Ye, Yesu atunaki ye:
Having stopped then Jesus commanded him to be brought to Him. When was approaching then he He asked him;
41 — Olingi nasala nini mpo na yo? Mokufi miso azongisaki: — Nkolo, nalingi komona.
(saying *ko) What to you desire you I may do? And he said; Lord, that I may receive sight.
42 Yesu alobaki na ye: — Mona! Kondima na yo ebikisi yo.
And Jesus said to him; do receive sight: The faith of you has healed you.
43 Mpe mbala moko, akomaki komona, mpe alandaki Yesu, na kokumisa Nzambe. Tango bato nyonso bamonaki bongo, bango mpe bakumisaki Nzambe.
And immediately he received sight and was following Him glorifying God. And all the people having seen [it] gave praise to God.
