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, [that] on one of those days, as he was teaching the people in the temple, and preaching the gospel, the chief priests and the scribes came upon [him], with the elders,
2 balobaki na Ye: — Yebisa biso, na kombo ya bokonzi nini ozali kosala biloko oyo? Nani apesi yo bokonzi yango?
And spoke to him, saying, Tell us, By what authority doest thou these things? or who is he that gave thee this authority?
3 Yesu azongisaki: — Ngai mpe, nazali kotuna bino motuna moko. Boyebisa Ngai:
And he answered and said to them, I will also ask you one thing; and answer me:
4 Libatisi ya Yoane ewutaki na Nzambe to ewutaki na bato?
The baptism 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 shall say, From heaven; he will say, Why then believed ye him not?
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 persuaded that John was a prophet.
7 Boye, bazongisaki: — Toyebi te epai wapi ewutaki.
And they answered, that they could not tell whence [it was].
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.
Then he began to speak to the people this parable; A certain man planted a vineyard, and let it to husbandmen, and went into a far country for a long 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 servant to the husbandmen, that they should give him of the fruit of the vineyard: but the husbandmen beat him, and sent [him] away empty.
11 Atindaki mosali mosusu; kasi ye mpe, babetaki ye, bafingaki ye mpe bazongisaki ye maboko pamba.
And again he sent another servant: and they beat him also, and treated [him] shamefully, and sent [him] away empty.
12 Atindaki lisusu mosali ya misato; ye mpe, bazokisaki ye mpe babwakaki ye libanda ya elanga.
And again he sent the third: and they wounded him also, and 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. »
Then said the lord of the vineyard, What shall I do? I will send my beloved son: it may be when they see him they will reverence him.
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 husbandmen saw him, they reasoned among themselves, saying, This is the heir; come, let us kill him, that the inheritance may be ours.
15 Boye babwakaki ye na libanda ya elanga ya vino mpe babomaki ye. Nkolo elanga ya vino akosala bango nini?
So they cast him out of the vineyard, and 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 husbandmen, and will give the vineyard to others. And when they heard [it], they said, may that never be.
17 Kasi Yesu atalaki bango mpe alobaki: — Bongo makambo oyo ekomama elakisi nini: « Libanga oyo batongi ndako babwakaki ekomi libanga ya songe ya ndako? »
And he beheld them, and said, What is this then that is written, The stone which the builders rejected, the same is become 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.
Whoever shall fall upon that stone, shall be broken: but on whomsoever it shall fall, it will grind him to powder.
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 scribes the same hour sought to lay hands on him; and they feared the people: for they perceived that he had spoken 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 they watched [him], and sent forth spies, who should feign themselves just men, that they might take hold of his words, that so they might deliver him to the power and 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 asked him, saying, Master, we know that thou sayest and teachest rightly, neither acceptest thou the person [of any], but teachest the way of God truly:
22 Boni, ezali sembo mpo na biso kofuta mpako epai ya Sezare to te?
Is it lawful for us to give tribute to Cesar, or not?
23 Kasi Yesu asosolaki mayele mabe na bango mpe alobaki na bango:
But he perceived their craftiness, and said to them, Why tempt ye me?
24 — Bolakisa Ngai mbongo moko ya ebende. Elilingi mpe makomi oyo batobola na mbongo oyo, ezali ya nani? Bazongisaki: — Ya Sezare!
Show me a penny. Whose image and superscription hath it? They answered and said, Cesar'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, Render therefore to Cesar the things which are Cesar's, and to God the things which are God's.
26 Balongaki te kokanga Ye na nzela ya makambo oyo alobaki liboso ya bato; mpe lokola bakamwaki eyano na Ye, bavandaki nye.
And they could not take hold of his words before the people: and they marveled at his answer, and held their peace.
27 Ndambo ya Basaduseo, oyo balobaka ete lisekwa ezali te, bayaki epai ya Yesu mpo na kotuna Ye motuna oyo:
Then came to [him] certain of the Sadducees (who deny that there is any resurrection) and they asked 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, Master, Moses wrote to us, If any man's brother should die, having a wife, and he should die without children, 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 took a wife, and died without children.
30 Ndeko ya mibale abalaki mwasi yango kaka;
And the second took her for a wife, and he 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 took her; and in like manner the seven also: And they left no children, and died.
32 Sima na bango nyonso, mwasi yango mpe akufaki.
Last of all the woman died also.
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?
Therefore in the resurrection, whose wife of them is she? for seven had her to wife.
And Jesus answering, said to them, The children of this world 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 they who shall be accounted worthy to obtain that world, 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.
Neither can they die any more: for they are equal to the angels; and are the children of God, being the children 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. »
Now that the dead are raised, even Moses showed at the bush, when he calleth 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.
For he is not a God of the dead, but of the living: for all live to him.
39 Ndambo ya balakisi ya Mobeko bazongisaki: — Moteyi, olobi malamu!
Then certain of the scribes answering, said, Master, thou hast well said.
40 Mpe moko te amekaki lisusu kotuna Ye mituna.
And after that, they durst not ask him any question at all.
41 Yesu mpe atunaki bango: — Mpo na nini balobaka ete Klisto azali mwana ya Davidi?
And he said to them, How say they that 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
And David himself saith in the book of Psalms, The LORD said to my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand,
43 kino nakomisa banguna na Yo enyatelo makolo na Yo. › »
Till I make thy enemies thy footstool.
44 Davidi azali kobenga Klisto « Nkolo, » bongo ndenge nini akoki lisusu kozala mwana na ye?
David therefore calleth him Lord, how is he then his son?
45 Wana ebele ya bato bazalaki koyoka, Yesu alobaki na bayekoli na Ye:
Then in the audience of all the people, 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 scribes, who desire to walk in long robes, and love greetings in the markets, and the highest seats in the synagogues, and the chief rooms at 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 for a show make long prayers: the same shall receive greater damnation.
