Luke 11 (LIN) · Opened

1Mokolo moko, Yesu azalaki kosambela na esika songolo. Tango asilisaki kosambela, moko kati na bayekoli na Ye alobaki na Ye : — Nkolo, lakisa biso kosambela ndenge Yoane alakisaki bayekoli na ye.One day in a place where Jesus had just finished praying, one of His disciples requested, “Lord, teach us to pray, just as John taught his disciples.”

2Yesu alobaki na bango : — Tango bozali kosambela, boloba : Tata, tika ete Kombo na Yo ebulisama, tika ete Bokonzi na Yo eya !So Jesus told them, “When you pray, say: ‘Father, hallowed be Your name. Your kingdom come.

3Pesa biso bilei oyo tosengeli na yango, mokolo na mokolo,Give us each day our daily bread.

4limbisa masumu na biso, pamba te biso mpe tolimbisaka moto nyonso oyo asalaka biso mabe ; mpe komema biso na komekama te.And forgive us our sins, for we also forgive everyone who sins against us. And lead us not into temptation.’”

5Alobaki na bango lisusu : — Soki moko kati na bino azali na molingami, bongo akei epai na ye na midi ya butu mpe alobi : « Molingami, defisa ngai mapa misato ;Then Jesus said to them, “Suppose one of you goes to his friend at midnight and says, ‘Friend, lend me three loaves of bread,

6pamba te moko kati na baninga na ngai azali kosala mobembo mpe akomi epai na ngai, kasi nazangi bilei ya kopesa ye. »because a friend of mine has come to me on a journey, and I have nothing to set before him.’

7Soki molingami oyo, wuta kati na ndako na ye, azongisi : « Kotungisa ngai te, nasili kokanga ekuke ya ndako na ngai ; ngai mpe bana na ngai tolali, nakoki kolamuka te mpo na kopesa yo mapa. »And suppose the one inside answers, ‘Do not bother me. My door is already shut, and my children and I are in bed. I cannot get up to give you anything.’

8Nazali koloba na bino penza ya solo : ata soki akotelema te mpo na kopesa ye mapa yango, kasi akotelema penza mpo na motungisi na ye mpe akopesa ye nyonso oyo azali na yango na bosenga, pamba te azali moninga na ye.I tell you, even though he will not get up to provide for him because of his friendship, yet because of the man’s persistence, he will get up and give him as much as he needs.

9Boye, Ngai nazali koloba na bino : Bosenga, mpe bakopesa bino ; boluka, mpe bokomona ; bobeta ekuke, mpe bakofungolela bino.So I tell you: Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and the door will be opened to you.

10Pamba te moto nyonso oyo asengaka azwaka, moto oyo alukaka amonaka ; mpe moto oyo abetaka ekuke, bafungolelaka ye yango.For everyone who asks receives; he who seeks finds; and to him who knocks, the door will be opened.

11Nani kati na bino, batata, akopesa na mwana na ye nyoka soki asengi ye mbisi,What father among you, if his son asks for a fish, will give him a snake instead?

12to akopesa ye koto soki asengi ye liki ?Or if he asks for an egg, will give him a scorpion?

13Bongo soki bino bato oyo bozali kutu mabe boyebi kopesa na bana na bino biloko ya malamu, ndenge nini Tata oyo azali na Likolo apesa te Molimo Mosantu epai ya bato oyo basengaka Ye !So if you who are evil know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father in heaven give the Holy Spirit to those who ask Him!”

14Mokolo moko, Yesu azalaki kobengana molimo mabe oyo ezalaki kopekisa moto koloba. Tango molimo mabe yango ebimaki, moto oyo azalaki koloba te akomaki koloba, mpe ebele ya bato bakamwaki.One day Jesus was driving out a demon that was mute. And when the demon was gone, the man who had been mute spoke. The crowds were amazed,

15Kasi bamoko kati na bango balobaki : — Azali kobengana milimo mabe na nguya ya Belizebule, mokonzi ya milimo mabe.but some of them said, “It is by Beelzebul, the prince of the demons, that He drives out demons.”

16Bamosusu, mpo na komeka Yesu, basengaki na Ye elembo moko kowuta na Likolo.And others tested Him by demanding a sign from heaven.

17Lokola Yesu ayebaki makanisi na bango, alobaki na bango : — Bokonzi nyonso oyo ekabwani mpe ekomi komibundisa ekomipanza, mpe ndako oyo ekabwani mpe ekomi komibundisa ekokweya.Knowing their thoughts, Jesus said to them, “Every kingdom divided against itself will be laid waste, and a house divided against a house will fall.

18Soki Satana akomi komibundisa, bokonzi na ye ekotelema ndenge nini ? Nalobi bongo mpo bolobi ete Ngai nazali kobengana milimo mabe na nguya ya Belizebule.If Satan is divided against himself, how can his kingdom stand? After all, you say that I drive out demons by Beelzebul.

19Mpe soki Ngai nazali kobengana milimo mabe na nguya ya Belizebule, bayekoli na bino babenganaka yango na nguya ya nani ? Mpo na yango, bayekoli na bino bakozala bango moko basambisi na bino.And if I drive out demons by Beelzebul, by whom do your sons drive them out? So then, they will be your judges.

20Kasi soki ezali na nguya ya Nzambe nde Ngai nazali kobengana milimo mabe, wana Bokonzi ya Nzambe esili kokoma kino epai na bino.But if I drive out demons by the finger of God, then the kingdom of God has come upon you.

21Tango elombe oyo alata bibundeli akengelaka ndako na ye, biloko na ye ebatelamaka malamu ;When a strong man, fully armed, guards his house, his possessions are secure.

22kasi soki moto mosusu oyo aleki ye na makasi ayei kobundisa ye mpe alongi ye, akobotola ye bibundeli oyo azalaki kotiela motema, akokamata biloko na ye nyonso mpe akokaba yango.But when someone stronger attacks and overpowers him, he takes away the armor in which the man trusted, and then he divides up his plunder.

23Moto oyo azali elongo na Ngai te azali monguna na Ngai, mpe moto oyo asangisaka te elongo na Ngai apanzaka.He who is not with Me is against Me, and he who does not gather with Me scatters.

24Soki molimo mabe ebimi kati na moto, ekendaka koyengayenga na bisika ekawuka mpo na koluka esika ya kopema. Kasi soki ezwi esika yango te, emilobelaka : « Eleki malamu mpo na ngai kozonga na ndako oyo natikaki. »When an unclean spirit comes out of a man, it passes through arid places seeking rest and does not find it. Then it says, ‘I will return to the house I left.’

25Tango molimo mabe yango ezongaka, ekutaka ndako yango polele, bakombola mpe babongisa malamu.On its return, it finds the house swept clean and put in order.

26Bongo ekendaka lisusu kozwa milimo mosusu sambo oyo eleki yango na mabe, mpe, elongo na yango, ekotaka mpe evandaka kuna. Boye bomoi ya moto yango ekomaka lisusu mabe, koleka ndenge ezalaki liboso.Then it goes and brings seven other spirits more wicked than itself, and they go in and dwell there. And the final plight of that man is worse than the first.”

27Wana Yesu azalaki koloba makambo oyo, mwasi moko agangaki wuta kati na ebele ya bato : — Esengo na mama oyo abotaki Yo mpe amelisaki Yo mabele !As Jesus was saying these things, a woman in the crowd raised her voice and said, “Blessed is the womb that bore You, and blessed are the breasts that nursed You!”

28Yesu azongisaki : — Esengo nde na bato oyo bayokaka Liloba na Nzambe mpe batosaka yango !But He replied, “Blessed rather are those who hear the word of God and obey it.”

29Lokola bato bazalaki kotonda se kotonda pembeni na Ye, Yesu alobaki : — Bato ya ekeke oyo bazali bato mabe penza ! Bazali kosenga elembo ! Bakopesamela elembo mosusu te, longola kaka elembo ya Yona ;As the crowds were increasing, Jesus said, “This is a wicked generation. It demands a sign, but none will be given it except the sign of Jonah.

30pamba te, ndenge Yona azalaki elembo mpo na bato ya Ninive, ndenge wana mpe Mwana na Moto akozala elembo mpo na bato ya ekeke oyo.For as Jonah was a sign to the Ninevites, so the Son of Man will be a sign to this generation.

31Na mokolo ya kosambisama, mwasi mokonzi ya sude akolamuka, elongo na bato ya ekeke oyo, mpe akokatela bango etumbu, pamba te awutaki mosika, na suka ya mokili, mpo na koyoka bwanya ya Salomo ; nzokande awa sik’oyo, ezali na Moto oyo aleki Salomo.The Queen of the South will rise at the judgment with the men of this generation and condemn them; for she came from the ends of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon, and now One greater than Solomon is here.

32Na mokolo ya kosambisama, bato ya Ninive bakotelema, elongo na bato ya ekeke oyo, mpe bakokatela bango etumbu, pamba te babongolaki mitema na bango tango bayokaki mateya ya Yona ; nzokande awa sik’oyo, ezali na Moto oyo aleki Yona.The men of Nineveh will stand at the judgment with this generation and condemn it; for they repented at the preaching of Jonah, and now One greater than Jonah is here.

33Moto moko te apelisaka mwinda mpo na kotia yango na esika ya kobombama to na se ya katini. Nzokande, batiaka yango na likolo ya etelemiselo ya minda mpo ete bato oyo bazali kokota na ndako bamona pole.No one lights a lamp and puts it in a cellar or under a basket. Instead, he sets it on a stand, so those who enter can see the light.

34Miso na yo ezali lokola mwinda ya nzoto na yo. Soki miso na yo ezali malamu, nzoto na yo mobimba mpe ezali kati na pole. Kasi soki ebeli, nzoto na yo mobimba mpe ekoti kati na molili.Your eye is the lamp of your body. When your eyes are good, your whole body also is full of light. But when they are bad, your body is full of darkness.

35Yango wana, sala keba ete pole oyo ezali kati na yo ekoma molili te.Be careful, then, that the light within you is not darkness.

36Soki nzoto na yo mobimba ezali kati na pole, mpe eteni ata moko te ezali kati na molili, nzoto na yo mobimba ekotonda na pole lokola tango mwinda engengisaka yo na nzela ya pole na yango.So if your whole body is full of light, with no part of it in darkness, you will be radiant, as though a lamp were shining on you.”

37Tango Yesu asilisaki koloba, Mofarizeo moko abengisaki Ye mpo ete akende kolia elongo na ye. Yesu akotaki na ndako na ye mpe avandaki na mesa.As Jesus was speaking, a Pharisee invited Him to dine with him; so He went in and reclined at the table.

38Kasi Mofarizeo akamwaki mingi tango amonaki ete Yesu asukoli maboko te liboso ya kolia.But the Pharisee was surprised to see that Jesus did not first wash before the meal.

39Bongo, Nkolo alobaki na ye : — Bino Bafarizeo, bosukolaka libanda ya bakopo mpe ya basani, kasi botondi na moyibi mpe na mabe.Then the Lord said, “Now you Pharisees clean the outside of the cup and dish, but inside you are full of greed and wickedness.

40Bazoba ! Boni, ye oyo asalaki libanda, asalaki mpe kati te ?You fools! Did not the One who made the outside make the inside as well?

41Bobonza nde bomoto na bino ya kati lokola likabo epai ya Nzambe, bongo mobimba na bino ekokoma mbala moko peto.But give as alms the things that are within you, and behold, everything will be clean for you.

42Mawa na bino, Bafarizeo ! Bofutaka eteni ya zomi ya bandembi, ya matungulu mpe ya bandunda ya lolenge nyonso, kasi bomonaka pamba bosembo mpe bolingo ya Nzambe. Nzokande bosengeli nde kotia yango na misala, mpe kozwa na motuya likambo oyo wana ya kofuta eteni ya zomi.Woe to you Pharisees! For you pay tithes of mint, rue, and every herb, but you disregard justice and the love of God. You should have practiced the latter without neglecting the former.

43Mawa na bino, Bafarizeo ! Bolingaka kovanda na bakiti ya liboso, kati na bandako ya mayangani ; mpe bolingaka ete bato bapesa bino mbote ya lokumu, na bisika oyo bato ebele bakutanaka.Woe to you Pharisees! For you love the chief seats in the synagogues and the greetings in the marketplaces.

44Mawa na bino ! Bozali lokola bakunda oyo ezanga bilembo, bongo bato batambolaka na likolo na yango na kozanga koyeba !Woe to you! For you are like unmarked graves, which men walk over without even noticing.”

45Molakisi moko ya mibeko alobaki na Yesu : — Moteyi, tango ozali koloba bongo, ozali kofinga mpe biso !One of the experts in the law told Him, “Teacher, when You say these things, You insult us as well.”

46Yesu azongisaki : — Bino mpe balakisi ya Mobeko, mawa na bino ! Bomemisaka bato mikumba ya kilo makasi, mpe bino moko boningisaka ata mosapi moko te mpo na kosunga bango.“Woe to you as well, experts in the law!” He replied. “For you weigh men down with heavy burdens, but you yourselves will not lift a finger to lighten their load.

47Mawa na bino, pamba te botongaka bakunda mpo na basakoli oyo bakoko na bino baboma !Woe to you! For you build tombs for the prophets, but it was your fathers who killed them.

48Boye, wana bosalaka bongo, botatolaka ete bondimi makambo oyo bakoko na bino basala ; pamba te bango, baboma basakoli, mpe bino, bozali kotonga bakunda na bango.So you are witnesses consenting to the deeds of your fathers: They killed the prophets, and you build their tombs.

49Yango wana, Nzambe, kati na bwanya na Ye, aloba : « Nakotindela bango basakoli mpe bantoma ; bakoboma bamoko, mpe bakonyokola bamosusu. »Because of this, the wisdom of God said, ‘I will send them prophets and apostles; some of them they will kill and others they will persecute.’

50Mpo na yango, makila ya basakoli nyonso, oyo basopa wuta na ebandeli ya mokili, ekotangama na mito ya bato ya ekeke oyo,As a result, this generation will be charged with the blood of all the prophets that has been shed since the foundation of the world,

51kobanda na makila ya Abele kino na makila ya Zakari oyo babomaki kati na etumbelo mpe Esika ya bule. Nazali koloba na bino penza ya solo : mokumba ya mabe wana nyonso ekokweyela bato ya ekeke oyo.from the blood of Abel to the blood of Zechariah, who was killed between the altar and the sanctuary. Yes, I tell you, all of it will be charged to this generation.

52Mawa na bino, balakisi ya Mobeko, pamba te bolongolaki fungola ya boyebi ! Bino moko bokotaki te, mpe bopekisaki bato oyo bazalaki na posa ya kokota.Woe to you experts in the law! For you have taken away the key to knowledge. You yourselves have not entered, and you have hindered those who were entering.”

53Tango Yesu abimaki na ndako, Bafarizeo mpe balakisi ya Mobeko basilikelaki Ye makasi mpe bakomaki kotungisa Ye na nzela ya mituna ya ndenge na ndenge,As Jesus went on from there, the scribes and Pharisees began to oppose Him bitterly and to ply Him with questions about many things,

54na kotiela Ye mitambo mpo na kozwa, kati na maloba na Ye, likambo ya kofunda Ye.waiting to catch Him in something He might say.
