Matthew 10 (LIN)

1Yesu abengaki bayekoli na Ye zomi na mibale mpe apesaki bango bokonzi ya kobengana milimo mabe mpe ya kobikisa bokono mpe pasi nyonso.And calling His twelve disciples to Him, Jesus gave them authority over unclean spirits, so that they could drive them out and heal every disease and sickness.

2Tala bakombo ya bantoma zomi na mibale : liboso, Simona oyo kombo na ye mosusu ezalaki Petelo ; Andre, ndeko ya Petelo ; Jake, mwana mobali ya Zebede ; Yoane, ndeko ya Jake ;These are the names of the twelve apostles: first Simon, called Peter, and his brother Andrew; James son of Zebedee, and his brother John;

3Filipo mpe Bartelemi ; Toma mpe Matayo, mofutisi mpako ; Jake, mwana mobali ya Alife, mpe Tade ;Philip and Bartholomew; Thomas and Matthew the tax collector; James son of Alphaeus, and Thaddaeus;

4Simona oyo azalaki moko kati na bato ya lisanga ya Bazelote, mpe Yuda Isikarioti oyo atekaki Yesu.Simon the Zealot, and Judas Iscariot, who betrayed Jesus.

5Ezali bato oyo zomi na mibale nde Yesu atindaki, sima na Ye kopesa bango mitindo oyo : — Bokende te epai ya bato ya bikolo mosusu, mpe bokota te na bingumba ya bato ya Samari.These twelve Jesus sent out with the following instructions: “Do not go onto the road of the Gentiles or enter any town of the Samaritans.

6Kasi bokende epai ya bameme oyo ebunga ya bato ya Isalaele.Go rather to the lost sheep of Israel.

7Bipai nyonso oyo bokoleka, bosakola ete Bokonzi ya Likolo ekomi pene.As you go, preach this message: ‘The kingdom of heaven is near.’

8Bobikisa babeli, bosekwisa bakufi, bokomisa peto bato na maba mpe bobengana milimo mabe. Bopesa na ofele mpo ete bino mpe bozwaki na ofele.Heal the sick, raise the dead, cleanse the lepers, drive out demons. Freely you have received; freely give.

9Kati na mabenga na bino, botia wolo te, palata te, mbongo mpe te.Do not take along any gold or silver or copper in your belts.

10Mpo na mobembo na bino, bomema sakosi te, banzambala mibale te, basandale te, lingenda mpe te ; pamba te mosali asengeli kolia na mosala na ye.Take no bag for the road, or second tunic, or sandals, or staff; for the worker is worthy of his provisions.

11Na engumba to na mboka nyonso oyo bokokota, boluka moto oyo abongi mpo na koyamba bino mpe bovanda na ndako na ye kino tango bokolongwa.Whatever town or village you enter, find out who is worthy there and stay at his house until you move on.

12Mpe tango bokokota na ndako yango, bopesa bavandi na yango mbote na koloba : « Tika ete kimia ezala na bino ! »As you enter the home, greet its occupants.

13Soki bavandi ya ndako yango babongi na kimia yango, wana tika ete ewumela kati na bango ; soki te, wana tika ete ezonga epai na bino.If the home is worthy, let your peace rest on it, but if it is not, let your peace return to you.

14Soki baboyi koyamba mpe koyoka bino, bolongwa na ndako to na engumba yango mpe bopupola putulu ya makolo na bino.And if anyone will not welcome you or heed your words, shake the dust off your feet when you leave that home or town.

15Nazali koloba na bino penza ya solo : na mokolo ya kosambisama, etumbu ya bavandi ya engumba to ya mboka wana ekozala makasi koleka etumbu ya mokili ya Sodome mpe Gomore.Truly I tell you, it will be more bearable for Sodom and Gomorrah on the day of judgment than for that town.

16Nazali kotinda bino lokola bameme kati na bambwa ya zamba ; boye, bozala na ekenge lokola banyoka, mpe na boboto lokola bibenga.Behold, I am sending you out like sheep among wolves; therefore be as shrewd as snakes and as innocent as doves.

17Kasi bosala keba, pamba te bakofunda bino na bisambiselo ya Bayuda mpe bakobeta bino fimbu kati na bandako na bango ya mayangani.But beware of men, for they will hand you over to their councils and flog you in their synagogues.

18Likolo na Ngai, bakomema bino na makasi liboso ya bayangeli mpe ya bakonzi. Boye, ekozala mpo na bino libaku malamu ya kotatola solo na tina na Ngai liboso na bango mpe liboso ya bapagano.On My account you will be brought before governors and kings as witnesses to them and to the Gentiles.

19Tango bakofunda bino epai ya bakambi, bomitungisa te mpo na koluka makambo ya koloba to lolenge ya koloba yango, pamba te ekopesamela bino na tango wana.But when they hand you over, do not worry about how to respond or what to say. In that hour you will be given what to say.

20Ekozala bino te bato bokoloba, kasi Molimo ya Tata na bino nde akoloba na nzela ya minoko na bino.For it will not be you speaking, but the Spirit of your Father speaking through you.

21Ndeko akokaba ndeko na ye mpo ete baboma ye, tata akokaba mwana na ye, bana bakotombokela baboti na bango mpe bakobomisa bango.Brother will betray brother to death, and a father his child; children will rise against their parents and have them put to death.

22Bato nyonso bakoyina bino mpo na Kombo na Ngai, kasi moto oyo akoyika mpiko kino na suka akobika.You will be hated by everyone because of My name, but the one who perseveres to the end will be saved.

23Tango bakonyokola bino kati na engumba songolo, bokima na engumba mosusu. Nazali koloba na bino penza ya solo : bokosilisa te kotambola na bingumba nyonso ya Isalaele liboso ete Mwana na Moto aya.When they persecute you in one town, flee to the next. Truly I tell you, you will not reach all the towns of Israel before the Son of Man comes.

24Moyekoli alekaka molakisi na ye te, mowumbu mpe alekaka nkolo na ye te.A disciple is not above his teacher, nor a servant above his master.

25Nzokande, ekoki mpo na moyekoli kozala lokola molakisi na ye, mpe mpo na mowumbu kozala lokola nkolo na ye. Soki babengaki Nkolo ndako « Belizebule, » ekozala boni mpo na bavandi ya ndako na Ye ?It is enough for a disciple to be like his teacher, and a servant like his master. If the head of the house has been called Beelzebul, how much more the members of his household!

26Yango wana, bobanga bango te ! Pamba te eloko moko te ebombama ekozanga komonisama, mpe eloko moko te ya sekele ekozanga koyebana.So do not be afraid of them. For there is nothing concealed that will not be disclosed, and nothing hidden that will not be made known.

27Makambo oyo nazali koyebisa bino sik’oyo kati na molili, boloba yango na moyi ; mpe oyo bazali koloba na bino na litoyi, bosakola yango wuta na likolo ya ndako.What I tell you in the dark, speak in the daylight; what is whispered in your ear, proclaim from the housetops.

28Bobanga te bato oyo bakoki koboma nzoto, kasi bazangi makoki ya koboma elimo ; bobanga nde Ye oyo akoki koboma nzoto mpe elimo kati na lifelo.Do not be afraid of those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul. Instead, fear the One who can destroy both soul and body in hell.

29Boni, batekaka te bandeke mike mibale na motuya ya mbongo oyo eleki moke ? Nzokande, moko te kati na yango ekweyaka na mabele soki Tata na bino alingi te.Are not two sparrows sold for a penny? Yet not one of them will fall to the ground apart from the will of your Father.

30Mpo na bino, Nzambe ayebi ata motango ya suki na bino.And even the very hairs of your head are all numbered.

31Yango wana, bobanga te, boleki bandeke mike nyonso na motuya.So do not be afraid; you are worth more than many sparrows.

32Moto nyonso oyo akotatola liboso ya bato ete azali moto na Ngai, Ngai mpe nakotatola liboso ya Tata na Ngai, oyo azali kati na Likolo, ete nazali mpo na ye ;Therefore everyone who confesses Me before men, I will also confess him before My Father in heaven.

33kasi ye oyo akowangana Ngai na miso ya bato, Ngai mpe nakowangana ye liboso ya Tata na Ngai, oyo azali kati na Likolo.But whoever denies Me before men, I will also deny him before My Father in heaven.

34Bokanisa te ete nayaki mpo na komema kimia na mokili. Nayaki mpo na komema kimia te, kasi mopanga.Do not assume that I have come to bring peace to the earth; I have not come to bring peace, but a sword.

35Pamba te, nayaki mpo na kotia bokabwani kati na mwana mobali mpe tata na ye, kati na mwana mwasi mpe mama na ye, mpe kati na mwasi ya libala mpe mama-bokilo na ye :For I have come to turn ‘a man against his father, a daughter against her mother, a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law.

36banguna ya moto bakozala kaka bato ya libota na ye moko.A man’s enemies will be the members of his own household.’

37Moto nyonso oyo alingaka tata na ye mpe mama na ye koleka Ngai abongi te mpo na kozala moto na Ngai. Moto nyonso oyo alingaka mwana na ye ya mobali to mwana na ye ya mwasi koleka Ngai abongi te mpo na kozala moto na Ngai.Anyone who loves his father or mother more than Me is not worthy of Me; anyone who loves his son or daughter more than Me is not worthy of Me;

38Moto nyonso oyo amemaka ekulusu na ye te mpo na kolanda Ngai abongi te mpo na kozala moto na Ngai.and anyone who does not take up his cross and follow Me is not worthy of Me.

39Moto oyo akangami na bomoi na ye akobungisa yango ; mpe moto oyo abungisi bomoi na ye likolo na Ngai akozwa yango lisusu.Whoever finds his life will lose it, and whoever loses his life for My sake will find it.

40Moto oyo ayambaka bino ayambaka nde Ngai, mpe moto oyo ayambaka Ngai ayambaka nde Motindi na Ngai.He who receives you receives Me, and he who receives Me receives the One who sent Me.

41Moto oyo ayambaka mosakoli mpo ete azali mosakoli akozwa lifuti ya ndenge moko na mosakoli, mpe moto oyo ayambaka moto ya sembo mpo ete azali moto ya sembo akozwa lifuti ya ndenge moko na moto ya sembo.Whoever receives a prophet because he is a prophet will receive a prophet’s reward, and whoever receives a righteous man because he is a righteous man will receive a righteous man’s reward.

42Moto nyonso oyo apesaka ata kopo moko kaka ya mayi ya malili epai ya moko kati na bana mike oyo, mpo ete azali moyekoli na Ngai, nazali koloba na bino penza ya solo, akotikala kobungisa te lifuti na ye.And if anyone gives even a cup of cold water to one of these little ones because he is My disciple, truly I tell you, he will never lose his reward.”
