Matthew 12 (LIN)

1Na tango wana, Yesu alekaki kati na bilanga ya ble na mokolo ya Saba. Lokola bayekoli na Ye bakomaki na nzala, babandaki kobuka ble mpe kolia yango.At that time Jesus went through the grainfields on the Sabbath. His disciples were hungry and began to pick the heads of grain and eat them.

2Tango Bafarizeo bamonaki bongo, balobaki na Yesu : — Tala bayekoli na Yo ! Bazali kosala likambo oyo epekisami kosalema na mokolo ya Saba.When the Pharisees saw this, they said to Him, “Look, Your disciples are doing what is unlawful on the Sabbath.”

3Yesu azongiselaki bango : — Botanga nanu te makambo oyo Davidi asalaki tango ye elongo na baninga na ye bazalaki na nzala,Jesus replied, “Have you not read what David did when he and his companions were hungry?

4ndenge nini akotaki kati na Ndako ya Nzambe ; mpe, ye elongo na bato na ye, baliaki mapa oyo ebulisama ; nzokande, ezala ye to bato na ye, moko te azalaki na ndingisa ya kolia yango ; kaka Banganga-Nzambe nde bazalaki na ndingisa ya kolia yango ?He entered the house of God, and he and his companions ate the consecrated bread, which was not lawful for them to eat, but only for the priests.

5Botikala mpe nanu kotanga te kati na Mobeko ete, na mokolo ya Saba, Banganga-Nzambe oyo basalaka kati na Tempelo babukaka mobeko ya Saba, kasi bakweyaka na mbeba te mpo na yango ?Or haven’t you read in the Law that on the Sabbath the priests in the temple break the Sabbath and yet are innocent?

6Nzokande, Ngai, nazali koloba na bino ete ezali awa na moto moko oyo azali monene koleka Tempelo !But I tell you that One greater than the temple is here.

7Ah soki bososolaki ndimbola ya maloba oyo : « Nasepelaka na motema ya boboto koleka mbeka, » bokokaki kopamela te bato oyo mpo ete basali mabe te !If only you had known the meaning of ‘I desire mercy, not sacrifice,’ you would not have condemned the innocent.

8Pamba te Mwana na Moto azali Mokonzi ya mokolo ya Saba.For the Son of Man is Lord of the Sabbath.”

9Sima na Yesu kolongwa na esika yango, akendeki na ndako na bango ya mayanganiMoving on from there, Jesus entered their synagogue,

10epai wapi ezalaki na moto moko akufa loboko. Bafarizeo batunaki Yesu : — Boni, mibeko epesa nzela ya kobikisa bato na mokolo ya Saba ? Batunaki Ye bongo, pamba te bazalaki koluka likambo mpo na kofunda Ye.and a man with a withered hand was there. In order to accuse Jesus, they asked Him, “Is it lawful to heal on the Sabbath?”

11Kasi Yesu azongiselaki bango : — Nani kati na bino, soki azali kaka na meme moko, mpe meme yango ekweyi kati na libulu, akokita te kati na libulu, na mokolo ya Saba, mpo na kobimisa yango ?He replied, “If one of you has a sheep and it falls into a pit on the Sabbath, will he not take hold of it and lift it out?

12Nzokande, moto azali na motuya koleka meme ! Boye, kosala bolamu na mokolo ya Saba endimama na mobeko.How much more valuable is a man than a sheep! Therefore it is lawful to do good on the Sabbath.”

13Bongo, alobaki na moto yango : — Sembola loboko na yo. Moto yango asembolaki loboko na ye, mpe loboko yango ebongaki, ekomaki malamu lokola loboko mosusu.Then Jesus said to the man, “Stretch out your hand.” So he stretched it out, and it was restored to full use, just like the other.

14Bafarizeo babimaki mpe bakabolaki makanisi kati na bango mpo na koluka nzela ya kobomisa Yesu.But the Pharisees went out and plotted how they might kill Jesus.

15Wana Yesu asosolaki ete basali mabongisi ya koboma Ye, alongwaki na esika yango. Bato ebele balandaki Ye, mpe abikisaki babeli nyonso.Aware of this, Jesus withdrew from that place. Large crowds followed Him, and He healed them all,

16Kasi apekisaki bango kobeta ata lisolo na tina na Ye.warning them not to make Him known.

17Asalaki bongo mpo ete maloba ya mosakoli Ezayi ekokisama :This was to fulfill what was spoken through the prophet Isaiah:

18« Tala mosali na Ngai, oyo naponi ; molingami na Ngai, mosali oyo nalingaka mingi, oyo asalaka esengo na Ngai. Nakopesa Ye Molimo na Ngai, mpe akosakola bosembo epai ya bikolo ya bapaya.“Here is My Servant, whom I have chosen, My beloved, in whom My soul delights. I will put My Spirit on Him, and He will proclaim justice to the nations.

19Akoswana te mpe akoganga te, bakoyoka mongongo na Ye te na babalabala.He will not quarrel or cry out; no one will hear His voice in the streets.

20Akobuka te mwa nzete ya kolemba oyo egumbama mpe akoboma te mwinda oyo elingi kokufa kino akosala ete bosembo elongaA bruised reed He will not break, and a smoldering wick He will not extinguish, till He leads justice to victory.

21mpe bikolo nyonso ya bapaya etia elikya na Kombo na Ye. »In His name the nations will put their hope.”

22Bongo bamemelaki Yesu moto moko oyo azalaki na se ya bokonzi ya molimo mabe, azalaki mokufi miso mpe azalaki koloba te. Yesu abikisaki ye ; boye moto oyo azalaki koloba te akomaki koloba mpe komona.Then a demon-possessed man who was blind and mute was brought to Jesus, and He healed the man so that he could speak and see.

23Bato nyonso bakamwaki mpe bazalaki koloba : — Boni, moto oyo azali mwana ya Davidi te ?The crowds were astounded and asked, “Could this be the Son of David?”

24Kasi tango Bafarizeo bayokaki maloba oyo ezalaki kolobama na tina na Yesu, balobaki : — Moto oyo azali kobengana milimo mabe na nguya ya Belizebule, mokonzi ya milimo mabe.But when the Pharisees heard this, they said, “Only by Beelzebul, the prince of demons, does this man drive out demons.”

25Lokola Yesu asosolaki makanisi na bango, alobaki na bango : — Bokonzi nyonso oyo bavandi na yango bakomi kobunda bango na bango ekobebisama ; engumba nyonso to ndako nyonso oyo bato na yango bazali lisusu na bomoko te ekowumela te.Knowing their thoughts, Jesus said to them, “Every kingdom divided against itself will be laid waste, and every city or household divided against itself will not stand.

26Soki Satana abengani Satana, wana akomi nde komibundisa ye moko ; bongo bokonzi na ye ekowumela ndenge nini ?If Satan drives out Satan, he is divided against himself. How then can his kingdom stand?

27Mpe soki, Ngai, nazali kobengana milimo mabe na nguya ya Belizebule, bayekoli na bino babenganaka yango na nguya ya nani ? Yango wana, 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.

28Kasi soki ezali na nguya ya Molimo 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 Spirit of God, then the kingdom of God has come upon you.

29Ndenge nini moto akoki kokota na ndako ya elombe mpe koyiba biloko na ye ya ndako soki akangi nanu elombe yango te na basinga ? Nzokande, soki akangi ye na basinga, wana akoki solo koyiba biloko nyonso oyo ezali kati na ndako na ye.Or again, how can anyone enter a strong man’s house and steal his possessions, unless he first ties up the strong man? Then he can plunder his house.

30Moto 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.

31Yango wana, nazali koloba na bino penza ya solo : lisumu nyonso mpe makambo mabe nyonso oyo bato bakoki koloba na tina na Nzambe ekolimbisama ; kasi moto nyonso oyo akoloba mabe na tina na Molimo Mosantu akolimbisama te.Therefore I tell you, every sin and blasphemy will be forgiven men, but the blasphemy against the Spirit will not be forgiven.

32Moto nyonso oyo akoloba mabe na tina na Mwana na Moto akolimbisama ; kasi moto nyonso oyo akoloba mabe na tina na Molimo Mosantu akolimbisama te, ezala na bomoi na ye awa na se to na bomoi oyo ekoya.Whoever speaks a word against the Son of Man will be forgiven, but whoever speaks against the Holy Spirit will not be forgiven, either in this age or in the one to come.

33Nzete ya malamu ebotaka mpe bambuma ya malamu, nzete ya mabe ebotaka mpe bambuma ya mabe ; pamba te nzete eyebanaka na mbuma na yango.Make a tree good and its fruit will be good, or make a tree bad and its fruit will be bad, for a tree is known by its fruit.

34Libota ya banyoka ! Bokokoka ndenge nini koloba makambo ya malamu awa bozali bato mabe ? Pamba te maloba ya moto etalisaka lolenge ya motema na ye :You brood of vipers, how can you who are evil say anything good? For out of the overflow of the heart the mouth speaks.

35moto malamu alobaka makambo ya malamu kowuta na motema malamu na ye, mpe moto mabe alobaka makambo ya mabe kowuta na motema mabe na ye.The good man brings good things out of his good store of treasure, and the evil man brings evil things out of his evil store of treasure.

36Nzokande, Ngai, nazali koloba na bino : na mokolo ya kosambisama, bato bakosamba mpo na maloba ezanga tina, oyo babimisaki.But I tell you that men will give an account on the day of judgment for every careless word they have spoken.

37Pamba te ezali na nzela ya maloba na yo moko kaka nde bakolongisa yo to bakokweyisa yo.For by your words you will be acquitted, and by your words you will be condemned.”

38Bongo ndambo ya balakisi ya Mobeko mpe Bafarizeo balobaki na Ye : — Moteyi, tolingi komona yo kosala elembo moko.Then some of the scribes and Pharisees said to Him, “Teacher, we want to see a sign from You.”

39Yesu azongisaki : — Oh bato ya ekeke oyo ! Bazali bato mabe mpe bazangi botosi na miso ya Nzambe, kasi bazali mpe kosenga elembo ! Bakopesamela elembo mosusu te longola kaka elembo ya mosakoli Yona.Jesus replied, “A wicked and adulterous generation demands a sign, but none will be given it except the sign of the prophet Jonah.

40Pamba te, ndenge Yona avandaki kati na libumu ya mbisi monene mikolo misato mpe babutu misato, ndenge wana mpe Mwana na Moto akosala mikolo misato mpe babutu misato na se ya mabele.For as Jonah was three days and three nights in the belly of the great fish, so the Son of Man will be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth.

41Na mokolo ya kosambisama, bato ya Ninive bakotelema mpe bakokatela bato ya ekeke oyo etumbu, pamba te babongolaki mitema na bango tango bayokaki mateya ya Yona ; nzokande, ezali awa 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.

42Na mokolo ya kosambisama, mwasi mokonzi ya sude akotelema elongo na bato ya ekeke oyo mpe akokatela bango etumbu, pamba te awutaki mosika, na suka ya mokili, mpe ayaki mpo na koyoka maloba ya bwanya ya Salomo ; nzokande, ezali awa na Moto oyo aleki Salomo.The Queen of the South will rise at the judgment with this generation and condemn it; for she came from the ends of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon, and now One greater than Solomon is here.

43Soki molimo mabe ebimi kati na moto, ekendaka koyengayenga na bisika ekawuka mpo na koluka esika ya kopema. Kasi soki ezwi esika yango te,When an unclean spirit comes out of a man, it passes through arid places seeking rest and does not find it.

44emilobelaka : « Eleki malamu mpo na ngai kozonga na ndako oyo natikaki. » Tango molimo mabe yango ezongaka ekutaka ndako yango polele, bakombola mpe babongisa malamu,Then it says, ‘I will return to the house I left.’ On its return, it finds the house vacant, swept clean, and put in order.

45ekokende lisusu kozwa milimo mosusu sambo oyo eleki yango na mabe, mpe ekoya elongo na yango mpo na kokota na elulu mpe kovanda kuna. Boye, bomoi ya moto yango ekokoma lisusu mabe koleka ndenge ezalaki liboso. Ekozala mpe bongo mpo na bato mabe ya ekeke oyo.Then it goes and brings with it 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. So will it be with this wicked generation.”

46Wana Yesu azalaki nanu koloba na bato, mama na Ye mpe bandeko na Ye ya mibali batelemaki libanda mpe bazalaki koluka kosolola na Ye.While Jesus was still speaking to the crowds, His mother and brothers stood outside, wanting to speak to Him.

47Bongo moto moko ayebisaki Yesu : — Mama mpe bandeko na yo ya mibali batelemi libanda, bazali na posa ya kosolola na yo.Someone told Him, “Look, Your mother and brothers are standing outside, wanting to speak to You.”

48Kasi Yesu azongiselaki ye : — Nani mama na Ngai, mpe banani bandeko na Ngai ?But Jesus replied, “Who is My mother, and who are My brothers?”

49Bongo Yesu atalisaki loboko na Ye na ngambo ya bayekoli na Ye mpe alobaki : — Mama na Ngai mpe bandeko na Ngai, bango oyo !Pointing to His disciples, He said, “Here are My mother and My brothers.

50Pamba te moto nyonso oyo asalaka mokano ya Tata na Ngai, oyo azali kati na Likolo, ye nde azali ndeko na Ngai ya mobali, ndeko na Ngai ya mwasi mpe mama na Ngai.For whoever does the will of My Father in heaven is My brother and sister and mother.”
