Luke 20 (LIN) · Opened

1Mokolo 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 ;One day as Jesus was teaching the people in the temple courts and proclaiming the gospel, the chief priests and scribes, together with the elders, came up to Him.

2balobaki na Ye : — Yebisa biso, na kombo ya bokonzi nini ozali kosala biloko oyo ? Nani apesi yo bokonzi yango ?“Tell us,” they said, “by what authority are You doing these things, and who gave You this authority?”

3Yesu azongisaki : — Ngai mpe, nazali kotuna bino motuna moko. Boyebisa Ngai :“I will also ask you a question,” Jesus replied. “Tell Me:

4Libatisi ya Yoane ewutaki na Nzambe to ewutaki na bato ?John’s baptism—was it from heaven, or from men?”

5Bakomaki kokabola makanisi bango na bango : « Soki tolobi : ‹ Ewutaki na Nzambe, › akotuna biso lisusu : ‹ Bongo mpo na nini bondimaki Ye te ? ›They deliberated among themselves and said, “If we say, ‘From heaven,’ He will ask, ‘Why did you not believe him?’

6Soki 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 that John was a prophet.”

7Boye, bazongisaki : — Toyebi te epai wapi ewutaki.So they answered that they did not know where it was from.

8Yesu alobaki : — Ngai mpe, nakoyebisa bino te soki na kombo ya bokonzi nini nazali kosala makambo yango.And Jesus replied, “Neither will I tell you by what authority I am doing these things.”

9Sima, 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 proceeded to tell the people this parable: “A man planted a vineyard, rented it out to some tenants, and went away for a long time.

10Tango 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.At harvest time, he sent a servant to the tenants to collect his share of the fruit of the vineyard. But the tenants beat the servant and sent him away empty-handed.

11Atindaki mosali mosusu ; kasi ye mpe, babetaki ye, bafingaki ye mpe bazongisaki ye maboko pamba.So he sent another servant, but they beat him and treated him shamefully, sending him away empty-handed.

12Atindaki lisusu mosali ya misato ; ye mpe, bazokisaki ye mpe babwakaki ye libanda ya elanga.Then he sent a third, but they wounded him and threw him out.

13Bongo nkolo elanga ya vino amilobelaki : « Nasala nini ? Nakotinda kaka mwana na ngai ya mobali, oyo nalingaka mingi ; tango mosusu, bakotosa ye. »‘What shall I do?’ asked the owner of the vineyard. ‘I will send my beloved son. Perhaps they will respect him.’

14Kasi tango bafuteli elanga bamonaki ye, balobanaki bango na bango : « Tala mokitani ya libula ! Toboma ye mpo ete libula ekoma ya biso ! »But when the tenants saw the son, they discussed it among themselves and said, ‘This is the heir. Let us kill him, and the inheritance will be ours.’

15Boye babwakaki ye na libanda ya elanga ya vino mpe babomaki ye. Nkolo elanga ya vino akosala bango nini ?So they threw him out of the vineyard and killed him. What then will the owner of the vineyard do to them?

16Akoya 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 kill those tenants and give the vineyard to others.” And when the people heard this, they said, “May such a thing never happen!”

17Kasi Yesu atalaki bango mpe alobaki : — Bongo makambo oyo ekomama elakisi nini : « Libanga oyo batongi ndako babwakaki ekomi libanga ya songe ya ndako ? »But Jesus looked directly at them and said, “Then what is the meaning of that which is written: ‘The stone the builders rejected has become the cornerstone’?

18Moto nyonso oyo akokweya na likolo ya libanga yango akobukana ndambo na ndambo ; moto oyo libanga yango ekokweyela, ekopanza ye.Everyone who falls on this stone will be broken to pieces, but he on whom it falls will be crushed.”

19Kaka 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.When the scribes and chief priests realized that Jesus had spoken this parable against them, they sought to arrest Him that very hour. But they were afraid of the people.

20Kobanda 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.So they watched Him closely and sent spies who pretended to be sincere. They were hoping to catch Him in His words in order to hand Him over to the rule and authority of the governor.

21Banongi yango batunaki Yesu : — Moteyi, toyebi ete olobaka mpe oteyaka makambo ya sembo, mpe oponaka bilongi te, kasi oteyaka na bosolo nzela ya Nzambe.“Teacher,” they inquired, “we know that You speak and teach correctly. You show no partiality but teach the way of God in accordance with the truth.

22Boni, ezali sembo mpo na biso kofuta mpako epai ya Sezare to te ?Is it lawful for us to pay taxes to Caesar or not?”

23Kasi Yesu asosolaki mayele mabe na bango mpe alobaki na bango :But Jesus saw through their duplicity and said to them,

24— Bolakisa Ngai mbongo moko ya ebende. Elilingi mpe makomi oyo batobola na mbongo oyo, ezali ya nani ? Bazongisaki : — Ya Sezare !“Show Me a denarius. Whose image and inscription are on it?” “Caesar’s,” they answered.

25Yesu alobaki na bango : — Boye bopesa na Sezare, oyo ezali ya Sezare ; mpe na Nzambe, oyo ezali ya Nzambe !So Jesus told them, “Give to Caesar what is Caesar’s, and to God what is God’s.”

26Balongaki 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 trap Him in His words before the people. And amazed at His answer, they fell silent.

27Ndambo ya Basaduseo, oyo balobaka ete lisekwa ezali te, bayaki epai ya Yesu mpo na kotuna Ye motuna oyo :Then some of the Sadducees, who say there is no resurrection, came to question 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. »“Teacher,” they said, “Moses wrote for us that if a man’s brother dies and leaves a wife but no children, the man is to marry his brother’s widow and raise up offspring for him.

29Nzokande, azalaki na bandeko mibali sambo. Ndeko ya liboso abalaki mwasi yango mpe akufaki, kasi abotaki bana te.Now there were seven brothers. The first one married a wife but died childless.

30Ndeko ya mibale abalaki mwasi yango kaka ;Then the second

31sima 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 married the widow, and in the same way all seven died, leaving no children.

32Sima na bango nyonso, mwasi yango mpe akufaki.And last of all, the woman died.

33Sik’oyo, na mokolo oyo bato bakosekwa kati na bakufi, mwasi yango akozala mwasi ya nani, pamba te bandeko mibali nyonso sambo babalaki ye ?So then, in the resurrection, whose wife will she be? For all seven were married to her.”

34Yesu azongisaki : — Ezali bato ya mokili oyo nde babalaka mpe babalisaka ;Jesus answered, “The sons of this age marry and are given in marriage.

35kasi bato oyo bakomonana ete bakoki mpo na kosekwa kati na bakufi mpe kobika bomoi kati na mokili oyo ezali koya, bakobala teBut those who are considered worthy to share in the age to come and in the resurrection from the dead will neither marry nor be given in marriage.

36mpe bakokufa lisusu te, pamba te bazali lokola ba-anjelu. Bazali bana na Nzambe mpo ete basekwi kati na bakufi.In fact, they can no longer die, because they are like the angels. And since they are sons of the resurrection, they are sons of God.

37Moyize 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. »Even Moses demonstrates that the dead are raised, in the passage about the burning bush. For he calls the Lord ‘the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob.’

38Nzokande, Nzambe azali Nzambe ya bakufi te, kasi Nzambe ya bato ya bomoi ; pamba te, mpo na Ye, bango nyonso misato bazali na bomoi.He is not the God of the dead, but of the living, for to Him all are alive.”

39Ndambo ya balakisi ya Mobeko bazongisaki : — Moteyi, olobi malamu !Some of the scribes answered, “Teacher, You have spoken well!”

40Mpe moko te amekaki lisusu kotuna Ye mituna.And they did not dare to question Him any further.

41Yesu mpe atunaki bango : — Mpo na nini balobaka ete Klisto azali mwana ya Davidi ?Then Jesus declared, “How can it be said that the Christ is the Son of David?

42Davidi, ye moko, alobaki boye kati na buku ya banzembo : « Nkolo alobaki na Nkolo na ngai : ‹ Vanda na ngambo ya loboko na Ngai ya mobaliFor David himself says in the book of Psalms: ‘The Lord said to my Lord, “Sit at My right hand

43kino nakomisa banguna na Yo enyatelo makolo na Yo. › »until I make Your enemies a footstool for Your feet.”’

44Davidi azali kobenga Klisto « Nkolo, » bongo ndenge nini akoki lisusu kozala mwana na ye ?Thus David calls Him ‘Lord.’ So how can He be David’s son?”

45Wana ebele ya bato bazalaki koyoka, Yesu alobaki na bayekoli na Ye :In the hearing of all the people, Jesus 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. They like to walk around in long robes, and they love the greetings in the marketplaces, the chief seats in the synagogues, and the places of honor at banquets.

47bayibaka biloko ya basi oyo bakufisa mibali mpe basalaka mabondeli ya milayi-milayi mpo na kokosa bato. Bakozwa etumbu oyo eleki makasi.They defraud widows of their houses, and for a show make lengthy prayers. These men will receive greater condemnation.”
