Luke 17 (LIN) · Opened

1Yesu alobaki na bayekoli na Ye : — Makambo oyo ebetisaka bato mabaku ekoki kozanga te ; kasi mawa na moto oyo, na nzela na ye, makambo yango eyaka !Jesus said to His disciples, “It is inevitable that stumbling blocks will come, but woe to the one through whom they come!

2Ekoleka malamu mpo na ye kokanga ye libanga monene ya enikelo, na kingo mpe kobwaka ye na ebale, na esika ya kotika ye kokweyisa na masumu moko kati na bana mike oyo.It would be better for him to have a millstone hung around his neck and to be thrown into the sea than to cause one of these little ones to stumble.

3Bosala penza keba mpo na bolamu na bino ! Soki ndeko na yo asali yo mabe, pamela ye ; mpe soki ayoki mawa mpo na mabe yango, limbisa ye.Watch yourselves. If your brother sins, rebuke him; and if he repents, forgive him.

4Mpe soki, na mokolo moko, asali yo mabe mbala sambo, mpe ayei epai na yo mbala sambo koloba na yo : « Nayoki mawa mpo na mabe na ngai, » limbisa ye !Even if he sins against you seven times in a day, and seven times returns to say, ‘I repent,’ you must forgive him.”

5Bantoma balobaki na Nkolo : — Bakisa kondima na biso !The apostles said to the Lord, “Increase our faith!”

6Nkolo azongisaki : — Soki bozali na kondima oyo ezali moke lokola mbuma ya mutarde, bokoki koloba na nzete oyo : « Pikolama na esika oyo mpe kende komilona kati na ebale, » mpe ekotosa bino.And the Lord answered, “If you have faith the size of a mustard seed, you can say to this mulberry tree, ‘Be uprooted and planted in the sea,’ and it will obey you.

7Nani kati na bino, soki azali na mosali bilanga to na mobateli bibwele, akoloba na ye tango azongi wuta na bilanga : « Yaka noki, vanda na mesa mpo ete olia ? »Which of you whose servant comes in from plowing or shepherding in the field will say to him, ‘Come at once and sit down to eat’?

8Boni, akoloba na ye te : « Lambela ngai bilei, lata bilamba na yo ya mosala mpo na kotiela ngai biloko na mesa, kino nasilisa kolia mpe komela ; sima na yango nde yo mpe okoki kolia mpe komela ? »Instead, won’t he tell him, ‘Prepare my meal and dress yourself to serve me while I eat and drink, and afterward you may eat and drink’?

9Boni, akozongisela mosali wana matondi mpo ete asali mosala oyo atindaki ye ?Does he thank the servant because he did what he was told?

10Ndenge moko mpe mpo na bino : soki bosali nyonso oyo batindi bino, boloba : « Tozali basali ya pamba, tokokisi kaka mokumba na biso. »So you also, when you have done everything commanded of you, should say, ‘We are unworthy servants; we have only done our duty.’”

11Wana Yesu azalaki kokende na Yelusalemi, alekaki na mondelo kati na Samari mpe na Galile.While Jesus was on His way to Jerusalem, He was passing between Samaria and Galilee.

12Lokola azalaki kokota na mboka moko, bato na maba zomi bayaki kokutana na Ye ; batelemaki na mosikaAs He entered one of the villages, He was met by ten lepers. They stood at a distance

13mpe babandaki kobelela Ye na mongongo makasi : — Mokonzi, Yesu, yokela biso mawa !and raised their voices, shouting, “Jesus, Master, have mercy on us!”

14Tango Yesu amonaki bango, alobaki : — Bokende komilakisa epai ya Banganga-Nzambe ! Wana bazalaki kokende kuna, bakomaki peto.When Jesus saw them, He said, “Go, show yourselves to the priests.” And as they were on their way, they were cleansed.

15Tango moko kati na bango amonaki ete abiki na bokono na ye, azongaki na kokumisa Nzambe na mongongo makasi.When one of them saw that he was healed, he came back, praising God in a loud voice.

16Afukamaki na makolo ya Yesu, elongi kino na se, mpe azongiselaki Ye matondi. Moto yango azalaki moto ya Samari.He fell facedown at Jesus’ feet in thanksgiving to Him—and he was a Samaritan.

17Bongo Yesu atunaki : — Boni, bango nyonso zomi bakomi peto te ? Wapi bato mosusu libwa ?“Were not all ten cleansed?” Jesus asked. “Where then are the other nine?

18Moko te azongi mpo na kopesa Nzambe nkembo, longola kaka mopaya oyo ?Was no one found except this foreigner to return and give glory to God?”

19Bongo alobaki na moto yango ya Samari : — Telema mpe kende ; kondima na yo ebikisi yo !Then Jesus said to him, “Rise and go; your faith has made you well!”

20Mokolo moko, Bafarizeo batunaki Yesu : — Bokonzi ya Nzambe ekoya tango nini ? Yesu azongiselaki bango : — Bokonzi ya Nzambe ekoya te na lolenge ete bato bamona yango.When asked by the Pharisees when the kingdom of God would come, Jesus replied, “The kingdom of God will not come with observable signs.

21Bakoloba te : « Ezali awa » to « Ezali kuna, » pamba te Bokonzi ya Nzambe ezali kati na bino.Nor will people say, ‘Look, here it is,’ or ‘There it is.’ For you see, the kingdom of God is in your midst.”

22Bongo alobaki na bayekoli na Ye : — Tango ezali koya, tango oyo bokozala na posa makasi ya komona ata mokolo moko kati na mikolo ya Mwana na Moto, kasi bokomona yango te.Then He said to the disciples, “The time is coming when you will long to see one of the days of the Son of Man, but you will not see it.

23Bakoloba na bino : « Azali awa ! » to « Azali kuna ! » Bolanda bango te !People will tell you, ‘Look, there He is!’ or ‘Look, here He is!’ Do not go out or chase after them.

24Pamba te, na mokolo na Ye, Mwana na Moto akozala lokola mokalikali oyo epeli mpe engengisi likolo longwa na este kino na weste.For just as the lightning flashes and lights up the sky from one end to the other, so will be the Son of Man in His day.

25Kasi liboso ete mokolo yango ekoma, asengeli komona pasi mingi, mpe bato ya ekeke oyo basengeli koboya Ye.But first He must suffer many things and be rejected by this generation.

26Ndenge esalemaki na tango ya Noa, ndenge wana mpe ekosalema na tango ya Mwana na Moto :Just as it was in the days of Noah, so also will it be in the days of the Son of Man:

27bato bazalaki kolia, komela, kobala mpe kobalisa, kino na mokolo oyo Noa akotaki na masuwa ; bongo mpela eyaki mpe ebomaki bango nyonso.People were eating and drinking, marrying and being given in marriage, up to the day Noah entered the ark. Then the flood came and destroyed them all.

28Ezalaki mpe bongo na tango ya Loti : bato bazalaki kolia, komela, kosomba, koteka, kolona mpe kotonga.It was the same in the days of Lot: People were eating and drinking, buying and selling, planting and building.

29Kasi na mokolo oyo Loti abimaki wuta na Sodome, mvula ya moto mpe ya fofolo ekitaki wuta na likolo mpe ebomaki bango nyonso.But on the day Lot left Sodom, fire and sulfur rained down from heaven and destroyed them all.

30Ekozala mpe bongo, na mokolo oyo Mwana na Moto akomonana.It will be just like that on the day the Son of Man is revealed.

31Na mokolo yango, moto oyo akozala na likolo ya ndako na ye asengeli te kokita mpo na kozwa biloko kati na ndako na ye, mpe moto oyo akozala kati na bilanga na ye asengeli te kozonga na ndako mpo na likambo songolo.On that day, let no one on the housetop come down to retrieve his possessions. Likewise, let no one in the field return for anything he has left behind.

32Bokanisa makambo oyo ekomelaki mwasi ya Loti !Remember Lot’s wife!

33Moto oyo akoluka kobatela bomoi na ye akobungisa yango, mpe moto oyo akobungisa bomoi na ye akobatela yango.Whoever tries to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life will preserve it.

34Nazali koloba na bino : na butu wana, bato mibale bakozala na likolo ya mbeto moko : moko akokamatama, mpe mosusu akotikala ;I tell you, on that night two people will be in one bed: one will be taken and the other left.

35basi mibale bakozala konika bambuma elongo : moko akokamatama, mpe mosusu akotikala ; [Two women will be grinding grain together: one will be taken and the other left.”

36mibali mibale bakozala kati na elanga moko : moko akokamatama, mpe mosusu akotikala.]Not in the BSB

37Bayekoli batunaki Yesu : — Nkolo, makambo yango ekosalema wapi ? Yesu azongiselaki bango : — Epai ebembe ezali, kuna nde bandeke oyo eliaka bibembe ekosangana.“Where, Lord?” they asked. Jesus answered, “Wherever there is a carcass, there the vultures will gather.”
