Luka 20
1 Mokolo moko, wana Yesu azalaki koteya bato kati na lopango ya Tempelo mpe kosakola Sango Malamu, bakonzi ya Banganga-Nzambe, balakisi ya Mobeko mpe bakambi ya bato babimelaki Ye;
And it came to pass on one of those days, as he was teaching the people in the temple, and preaching the good news, the chief priests and the scholars with the elders stood near.
2 balobaki na Ye: — Yebisa biso, na kombo ya bokonzi nini ozali kosala biloko oyo? Nani apesi yo bokonzi yango?
And they spoke, saying to him, Tell us, by what authority are thou doing these things? Or who is he who gave thee this authority?
3 Yesu azongisaki: — Ngai mpe, nazali kotuna bino motuna moko. Boyebisa Ngai:
And having answered, he said to them, I also will ask you one word, and ye tell me.
4 Libatisi ya Yoane ewutaki na Nzambe to ewutaki na bato?
The immersion of John, was it from heaven or from men?
5 Bakomaki kokabola makanisi bango na bango: « Soki tolobi: ‹ Ewutaki na Nzambe, › akotuna biso lisusu: ‹ Bongo mpo na nini bondimaki Ye te? ›
And they reasoned with themselves, saying, If we should say, From heaven, he will say, Why did ye not believe him?
6 Soki mpe tolobi: ‹ Ewutaki na bato, › bato nyonso bakobamba biso mabanga, pamba te bandimaka ete Yoane azalaki mosakoli. »
But if we say, From men, all the people will stone us, for they are convinced John is a prophet.
7 Boye, bazongisaki: — Toyebi te epai wapi ewutaki.
And they replied not to know from where.
8 Yesu alobaki: — Ngai mpe, nakoyebisa bino te soki na kombo ya bokonzi nini nazali kosala makambo yango.
And Jesus said to them, Neither do I tell you by what authority I do these things.
9 Sima, Yesu alobaki na bato lisese oyo: — Moto moko alonaki elanga ya vino, apesaki yango epai ya basali bilanga mpo ete bafutelaka yango, mpe akendeki mobembo ya tango molayi.
And he began to speak this parable to the people. A man planted a vineyard, and leased it to farmers, and went abroad for a considerable time.
10 Tango eleko ya kobuka bambuma ekokaki, atindaki mosali moko epai ya bafuteli elanga mpo ete bapesa ye ndambo ya bambuma kowuta na elanga ya vino. Kasi bafuteli elanga babetaki ye mpe bazongisaki ye maboko pamba.
And at the season he sent a bondman to the farmers, so that they would give him from the fruit of the vineyard. But having beaten him, the farmers sent him away empty.
11 Atindaki mosali mosusu; kasi ye mpe, babetaki ye, bafingaki ye mpe bazongisaki ye maboko pamba.
And he proceeded to send another bondman. And they, having beaten and shamefully treated, sent him also away empty.
12 Atindaki lisusu mosali ya misato; ye mpe, bazokisaki ye mpe babwakaki ye libanda ya elanga.
And he proceeded to send a third. And they also having wounded this man, cast him out.
13 Bongo nkolo elanga ya vino amilobelaki: « Nasala nini? Nakotinda kaka mwana na ngai ya mobali, oyo nalingaka mingi; tango mosusu, bakotosa ye. »
And the lord of the vineyard said, What shall I do? I will send my beloved son. Perhaps they will be made ashamed after seeing this man.
14 Kasi tango bafuteli elanga bamonaki ye, balobanaki bango na bango: « Tala mokitani ya libula! Toboma ye mpo ete libula ekoma ya biso! »
But when the farmers saw him, they deliberated among themselves, saying, This is the heir. Come, let us kill him, so that the inheritance may become ours.
15 Boye babwakaki ye na libanda ya elanga ya vino mpe babomaki ye. Nkolo elanga ya vino akosala bango nini?
And having cast him outside of the vineyard, they killed him. What therefore will the lord of the vineyard do to them?
16 Akoya ye moko, akoboma bafuteli elanga mpe akopesa elanga yango ya vino epai ya bato mosusu. Tango bato bayokaki bongo, balobaki: — Te, ekoki kosalema te!
He will come and destroy these farmers, and will give the vineyard to others. And having heard it, they said, May it not happen!
17 Kasi Yesu atalaki bango mpe alobaki: — Bongo makambo oyo ekomama elakisi nini: « Libanga oyo batongi ndako babwakaki ekomi libanga ya songe ya ndako? »
But having looked upon them, he said, What then is this that is written, The stone that those who build rejected, this became the head of the corner?
18 Moto nyonso oyo akokweya na likolo ya libanga yango akobukana ndambo na ndambo; moto oyo libanga yango ekokweyela, ekopanza ye.
Every man who falls on that stone will be broken, but on whomever it may fall, it will grind him to dust.
19 Kaka na tango yango, balakisi ya Mobeko mpe bakonzi ya Banganga-Nzambe balukaki nzela ya kokanga Yesu, pamba te bayebaki ete alobi lisese yango mpo na bango; kasi babangaki bato.
And the chief priests and the scholars sought to throw hands on him in the same hour. And they were afraid, for they knew that he spoke this parable against them.
20 Kobanda na tango wana, bakomaki kolandela Yesu, mpe batindaki banongi oyo bazalaki komilakisa lokola bato ya sembo, mpo na kokanga Ye na maloba na Ye mpe kokaba Ye na maboko ya basambisi mpe ya moyangeli.
And having watched him, they sent forth insidious men pretending themselves to be righteous, so that they might take hold of his word, in order to deliver him up to the rule and to the authority of the governor.
21 Banongi yango batunaki Yesu: — Moteyi, toyebi ete olobaka mpe oteyaka makambo ya sembo, mpe oponaka bilongi te, kasi oteyaka na bosolo nzela ya Nzambe.
And they questioned him, saying, Teacher, we know that thou speak and teach rightly, and thou do not accept a personage, but teach the way of God in truth,
22 Boni, ezali sembo mpo na biso kofuta mpako epai ya Sezare to te?
Is it permitted for us to give tribute to Caesar or not?
23 Kasi Yesu asosolaki mayele mabe na bango mpe alobaki na bango:
But having perceived their craftiness, he said to them, Why do ye try me?
24 — Bolakisa Ngai mbongo moko ya ebende. Elilingi mpe makomi oyo batobola na mbongo oyo, ezali ya nani? Bazongisaki: — Ya Sezare!
Display to me a denarius. Whose image and inscription has it? And having answered, they said, Caesar's.
25 Yesu alobaki na bango: — Boye bopesa na Sezare, oyo ezali ya Sezare; mpe na Nzambe, oyo ezali ya Nzambe!
And he said to them, Then render the things of Caesar to Caesar, and the things of God to God.
26 Balongaki te kokanga Ye na nzela ya makambo oyo alobaki liboso ya bato; mpe lokola bakamwaki eyano na Ye, bavandaki nye.
And they were unable to lay hold of his word before the people. And having marveled at his answer, they were silent.
27 Ndambo ya Basaduseo, oyo balobaka ete lisekwa ezali te, bayaki epai ya Yesu mpo na kotuna Ye motuna oyo:
And some of the Sadducees having approached, those who say there is no resurrection, they questioned him,
28 — Moteyi, Moyize atikela biso mobeko oyo kati na makomi: « Soki mobali moko akufi, atiki mwasi kasi bana te, ndeko na ye ya mobali asengeli kobala mwasi oyo akufisi mobali mpo ete abotela ndeko oyo asili kokufa bana. »
saying, Teacher, Moses wrote to us, if any brother dies, having a wife, and this man dies childless, that his brother should take his wife, and raise up seed to his brother.
29 Nzokande, azalaki na bandeko mibali sambo. Ndeko ya liboso abalaki mwasi yango mpe akufaki, kasi abotaki bana te.
There were therefore seven brothers. And the first having taken a wife, died childless.
30 Ndeko ya mibale abalaki mwasi yango kaka;
And the second took the woman, and this man died childless.
31 sima na ye, ndeko ya misato. Esalemaki kaka bongo kino na ndeko oyo ya sambo: bandeko nyonso sambo bakufaki, batikalaki kobota bana te.
And the third likewise took her, and likewise also the seven; they left behind no children, and died.
32 Sima na bango nyonso, mwasi yango mpe akufaki.
And last of all the woman also died.
33 Sik’oyo, na mokolo oyo bato bakosekwa kati na bakufi, mwasi yango akozala mwasi ya nani, pamba te bandeko mibali nyonso sambo babalaki ye?
In the resurrection therefore whose wife of them does she become? For the seven had her as wife.
And having answered, Jesus said to them, The sons of this age marry, and are given in marriage, (aiōn g165)
35 kasi bato oyo bakomonana ete bakoki mpo na kosekwa kati na bakufi mpe kobika bomoi kati na mokili oyo ezali koya, bakobala te (aiōn g165)
but those who are considered worthy to attain to that age, and the resurrection from the dead, neither marry, nor are given in marriage. (aiōn g165)
36 mpe bakokufa lisusu te, pamba te bazali lokola ba-anjelu. Bazali bana na Nzambe mpo ete basekwi kati na bakufi.
For neither can they die any more, for they are like the agents, and are sons of God, being sons of the resurrection.
37 Moyize atalisaki polele ete bakufi bakosekwa; pamba te, kati na eteni oyo ezali kolobela nzete oyo ezalaki kopela moto kasi ezalaki kozika te, abengaki Nkolo « Nzambe ya Abrayami, Nzambe ya Izaki, mpe Nzambe ya Jakobi. »
But that the dead are raised, even Moses showed at the Bush when he calls the Lord, the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob.
38 Nzokande, Nzambe azali Nzambe ya bakufi te, kasi Nzambe ya bato ya bomoi; pamba te, mpo na Ye, bango nyonso misato bazali na bomoi.
Now he is not God of the dead, but of the living, for all live to him.
39 Ndambo ya balakisi ya Mobeko bazongisaki: — Moteyi, olobi malamu!
And some of the scholars having answered, they said, Teacher, thou said well.
40 Mpe moko te amekaki lisusu kotuna Ye mituna.
For they no longer dared to question him anything.
41 Yesu mpe atunaki bango: — Mpo na nini balobaka ete Klisto azali mwana ya Davidi?
And he said to them, How do they say the Christ is David's son?
42 Davidi, ye moko, alobaki boye kati na buku ya banzembo: « Nkolo alobaki na Nkolo na ngai: ‹ Vanda na ngambo ya loboko na Ngai ya mobali
Even David himself says in the book of Psalms, The Lord said to my Lord, Sit thou at my right hand,
43 kino nakomisa banguna na Yo enyatelo makolo na Yo. › »
until I will place thine enemies a footstool of thy feet.
44 Davidi azali kobenga Klisto « Nkolo, » bongo ndenge nini akoki lisusu kozala mwana na ye?
David therefore calls him Lord, and how is he his son?
45 Wana ebele ya bato bazalaki koyoka, Yesu alobaki na bayekoli na Ye:
And while all the people were listening, he said to his disciples,
46 — Bosala keba na balakisi ya Mobeko! Balingaka kotambola na banzambala ya milayi; balingaka ete bato bapesa bango mbote, na bisika oyo bato ebele bakutanaka; balingaka kovanda na bakiti ya liboso, kati na bandako ya mayangani; mpe na bisika ya lokumu, kati na bafeti;
Beware of the scholars, who desire to walk around in long robes, and love greetings in the marketplaces, and chief seats in the synagogues, and places of honor at the feasts,
47 bayibaka biloko ya basi oyo bakufisa mibali mpe basalaka mabondeli ya milayi-milayi mpo na kokosa bato. Bakozwa etumbu oyo eleki makasi.
who devour widows' houses, and in pretence make long prayers. These will receive greater damnation.
