Matthew 13 (LIN)

1Mokolo yango kaka, Yesu abimaki na ndako mpe akendeki kovanda pembeni ya ebale.That same day Jesus went out of the house and sat by the sea.

2Lokola ebele ya bato bazingelaki Ye, Yesu amataki na bwato mpe avandaki kati na yango, wana bato nyonso batelemaki na mokili.Such large crowds gathered around Him that He got into a boat and sat down, while all the people stood on the shore.

3Azwaki maloba mpe akomaki koteya bango makambo ebele na masese ; azalaki koloba : — Moloni moko akendeki kolona na elanga na ye.And He told them many things in parables, saying, “A farmer went out to sow his seed.

4Wana azalaki kobwaka nkona na ye, ndambo ekweyaki pembeni ya nzela ; bandeke eyaki mpe eliaki yango.And as he was sowing, some seed fell along the path, and the birds came and devoured it.

5Ndambo mosusu ekweyaki na esika etonda na mabanga, esika oyo mabele ezalaki mingi te, ebimisaki mito noki mpo ete mabele yango ezalaki na bozindo te ;Some fell on rocky ground, where it did not have much soil. It sprang up quickly because the soil was shallow.

6kasi tango moyi ebimaki, mito yango ezikaki mpe ekawukaki mpo ete ezalaki na misisa te.But when the sun rose, the seedlings were scorched, and they withered because they had no root.

7Ndambo mosusu ekweyaki kati na banzube, banzube ekolaki mpe efinaki-finaki mwa banzete na yango ;Other seed fell among thorns, which grew up and choked the seedlings.

8kasi ndambo mosusu ekweyaki na mabele ya malamu mpe ebotaki bambuma : nkona moko ebotaki bambuma nkama moko ; mosusu, bambuma tuku motoba ; mpe mosusu, bambuma tuku misato.Still other seed fell on good soil and produced a crop—a hundredfold, sixtyfold, or thirtyfold.

9Tika ete moto oyo azali na matoyi mpo na koyoka ayoka !He who has ears, let him hear.”

10Bayekoli bapusanaki pene na Yesu mpe batunaki Ye : — Mpo na nini ozali koloba na bango na masese ?Then the disciples came to Jesus and asked, “Why do You speak to the people in parables?”

11Yesu azongiselaki bango : — Ezali mpo ete boyebi ya mabombami ya Bokonzi ya Likolo epesameli nde na bino, kasi na bango te.He replied, “The knowledge of the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven has been given to you, but not to them.

12Na moto oyo azali na eloko, bakopesa ye lisusu mpe akokoma na bofuluki ; kasi na moto oyo azangi, bakobotola ye ata oyo azali na yango.Whoever has will be given more, and he will have an abundance. Whoever does not have, even what he has will be taken away from him.

13Tala mpo na nini nazali koloba na bango na masese : ezali mpo ete atako bazali kotala, bamona te ; mpe atako bazali koyoka, basosola te.This is why I speak to them in parables: ‘Though seeing, they do not see; though hearing, they do not hear or understand.’

14Maloba oyo mosakoli Ezayi asakola mpo na bango ekokisami : « Matoyi na bino ekoyoka na pamba, kasi bokososola te ; miso na bino ekotala na pamba, kasi bokomona te !In them the prophecy of Isaiah is fulfilled: ‘You will be ever hearing but never understanding; you will be ever seeing but never perceiving.

15Pamba te mitema ya bato oyo ezali mabanga ; bakangi penza matoyi mpe miso na bango, noki te miso na bango emona, matoyi na bango eyoka, mitema na bango esosola, mpe babongola mitema, mpe Ngai nabikisa bango. »For this people’s heart has grown callous; they hardly hear with their ears, and they have closed their eyes. Otherwise they might see with their eyes, hear with their ears, understand with their hearts, and turn, and I would heal them.’

16Nzokande bino, bozali bato ya esengo, pamba te miso na bino ezali komona, mpe matoyi na bino ezali koyoka.But blessed are your eyes because they see, and your ears because they hear.

17Nazali koloba na bino penza ya solo : basakoli ebele mpe bato ebele ya sembo balukaki komona makambo oyo bino bozali komona, kasi bamonaki yango te ; batondaki na posa ya koyoka makambo oyo bino bozali koyoka, kasi bayokaki yango te.For truly I tell you, many prophets and righteous men longed to see what you see but did not see it, and to hear what you hear but did not hear it.

18Boyoka ndimbola ya lisese ya moloni :Consider, then, the parable of the sower:

19Soki moto ayoki Liloba na tina na Bokonzi ya Likolo mpe asosoli yango te, Satana ayaka kolongola oyo elonamaka kati na motema ya moto yango. Yango nde ndimbola ya nkona oyo ekweyi pembeni ya nzela.When anyone hears the message of the kingdom but does not understand it, the evil one comes and snatches away what was sown in his heart. This is the seed sown along the path.

20Nkona oyo ekweyi na mabele etonda na mabanga ezali moto oyo ayoki Liloba mpe ayambi yango mbala moko na esengo.The seed sown on rocky ground is the one who hears the word and at once receives it with joy.

21Kasi mpo ete azwi nanu misisa te kati na kondima, akowumela kaka mpo na mwa tango moke. Soki kaka, likolo ya Liloba, pasi to minyoko ekweyeli ye, asundoli mbala moko kondima na ye.But since he has no root, he remains for only a season. When trouble or persecution comes because of the word, he quickly falls away.

22Nkona oyo ekweyi kati na banzube ezali moto oyo ayoki Liloba, kasi baposa mabe ya mokili mpe lokoso ya bomengo efini-fini Liloba kati na ye. Boye akotikala mpe kobota bambuma te.The seed sown among the thorns is the one who hears the word, but the worries of this life and the deceitfulness of wealth choke the word, and it becomes unfruitful.

23Nkona oyo ekweyi na mabele ya malamu ezali moto oyo ayoki Liloba mpe asosoli yango malamu ; bongo akobota bambuma : epai ya moko, bambuma ekoki komonana nkama moko ; epai ya mosusu, bambuma tuku motoba ; mpe epai ya mosusu lisusu, bambuma tuku misato.But the seed sown on good soil is the one who hears the word and understands it. He indeed bears fruit and produces a crop—a hundredfold, sixtyfold, or thirtyfold.”

24Yesu ayebisaki bango lisese mosusu : « Bokonzi ya Likolo ekokani na moto oyo alonaki nkona ya malamu kati na elanga na ye.Jesus put before them another parable: “The kingdom of heaven is like a man who sowed good seed in his field.

25Wana bato nyonso balalaki pongi, monguna na ye ayaki, alonaki matiti mabe kati na elanga na ye ya ble mpe akendeki.But while everyone was asleep, his enemy came and sowed weeds among the wheat, and slipped away.

26Tango ble ebandaki kobota mpe kobimisa mito ya bambuma, matiti mabe mpe ekolaki.When the wheat sprouted and bore grain, then the weeds also appeared.

27Basali ya nkolo elanga bayaki mpe balobaki : ‹ Mokonzi ; boni, olonaki te nkona ya malamu kati na elanga na yo ? Bongo matiti mabe oyo, ewuti wapi ? ›The owner’s servants came to him and said, ‘Sir, didn’t you sow good seed in your field? Where then did the weeds come from?’

28Nkolo elanga azongisaki : ‹ Ezali monguna nde asali bongo ! › Basali batunaki lisusu : ‹ Olingi tokende kopikola yango ? ›‘An enemy did this,’ he replied. So the servants asked him, ‘Do you want us to go and pull them up?’

29Nkolo elanga azongisaki : ‹ Bokende te ! Pamba te wana bokobanda kolongola matiti mabe, bokoki mpe kopikola ble elongo na yango.‘No,’ he said, ‘if you pull the weeds now, you might uproot the wheat with them.

30Botika nyonso mibale ekola esika moko kino na tango ya kobuka bambuma. Ezali na tango wana nde nakoloba na bato oyo babukaka bambuma : Bolongola liboso matiti mabe, bokanga yango maboke-maboke mpe botumba yango ; kasi bobuka ble mpe botia yango na ebombelo na Ngai ya bambuma. › »Let both grow together until the harvest. At that time I will tell the harvesters: First collect the weeds and tie them in bundles to be burned; then gather the wheat into my barn.’”

31Yesu ayebisaki bango lisese mosusu : « Bokonzi ya Likolo ekokani na nkona ya mutarde oyo moto moko azwaki mpe alonaki kati na elanga na ye.He put before them another parable: “The kingdom of heaven is like a mustard seed that a man took and planted in his field.

32Nkona yango eleki bankona nyonso na moke ; kasi soki ekoli, elekaka bandunda nyonso ya elanga na molayi mpe ekomaka monene ; ebimisaka bitape minene oyo esalaka ete bandeke ya likolo etonga zala na yango na bitape na yango. »Although it is the smallest of all seeds, yet it grows into the largest of garden plants and becomes a tree, so that the birds of the air come and nest in its branches.”

33Yesu ayebisaki bango lisese mosusu : « Bokonzi ya Likolo ekokani na levire oyo mwasi azwaki mpe asangisaki kati na bakilo pene tuku mibale na sambo ya farine, kino nyonso evimbaki. »He told them still another parable: “The kingdom of heaven is like leaven that a woman took and mixed into three measures of flour, until all of it was leavened.”

34Yesu azalaki kosalela masese mpo na koloba makambo wana nyonso epai ya ebele ya bato ; mpe na tango nyonso oyo azalaki koloba na bango, azangaki te kosalela masese.Jesus spoke all these things to the crowds in parables. He did not tell them anything without using a parable.

35Ezalaki ndenge wana nde maloba ya mosakoli ekokisamaki : « Nakofungola monoko mpo na koyebisa bango makambo na masese, nakosakola makambo oyo ebombama wuta na ebandeli ya mokili. »So was fulfilled what was spoken through the prophet: “I will open My mouth in parables; I will utter things hidden since the foundation of the world.”

36Bongo Yesu atikaki ebele ya bato mpe akotaki na ndako. Bayekoli na Ye bayaki epai na Ye mpe batunaki Ye : — Pesa biso ndimbola ya lisese ya matiti mabe kati na elanga.Then Jesus dismissed the crowds and went into the house. His disciples came to Him and said, “Explain to us the parable of the weeds in the field.”

37Yesu azongisaki : — Moloni nkona ya malamu, ezali Mwana na Moto.He replied, “The One who sows the good seed is the Son of Man.

38Elanga ezali mokili, nkona ya malamu ezali bana ya Bokonzi ya Likolo, mpe matiti mabe ezali bana ya Satana ;The field is the world, and the good seed represents the sons of the kingdom. The weeds are the sons of the evil one,

39monguna oyo alonaki matiti mabe ezali Satana, tango ya kobuka mbuma ezali suka ya mokili ; bongo bato oyo babukaka bambuma, ezali ba-anjelu.and the enemy who sows them is the devil. The harvest is the end of the age, and the harvesters are angels.

40Ndenge bapikolaka matiti mabe mpe batumbaka yango na moto, ndenge wana mpe ekozala na suka ya mokili :As the weeds are collected and burned in the fire, so will it be at the end of the age.

41Mwana na Moto akotinda ba-anjelu na Ye ; bongo bakolongola kati na Bokonzi na Ye, nyonso oyo etindikaka bato mosusu na kosala masumu mpe bato oyo basalaka mabe.The Son of Man will send out His angels, and they will weed out of His kingdom every cause of sin and all who practice lawlessness.

42Bakobwaka bango na fulu ya moto makasi epai wapi ekozala kolela mpe koswa minu.And they will throw them into the fiery furnace, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.

43Bongo bato ya sembo bakongenga lokola moyi kati na Bokonzi ya Tata na bango. Tika ete moto oyo azali na matoyi mpo na koyoka ayoka !Then the righteous will shine like the sun in the kingdom of their Father. He who has ears, let him hear.

44Bokonzi ya Likolo ekokani na eloko ya talo oyo babomba kati na elanga ; soki moto moko amoni yango, akobomba yango lisusu ; mpe na esengo wana, akokende koteka biloko na ye nyonso mpo na kosomba elanga wana.The kingdom of heaven is like treasure hidden in a field. When a man found it, he hid it again, and in his joy he went and sold all he had and bought that field.

45Bokonzi ya Likolo ekokani lisusu na moto ya mombongo, oyo alukaka bapawuni ya kitoko.Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a merchant in search of fine pearls.

46Soki amoni mayaka moko ya talo makasi, akokende koteka biloko na ye nyonso mpo na kosomba yango.When he found one very precious pearl, he went away and sold all he had and bought it.

47Bokonzi ya Likolo ekokani lisusu na monyama oyo balobi mbisi babwaki na ebale mpe ekangi bambisi ya ndenge na ndenge.Once again, the kingdom of heaven is like a net that was cast into the sea and caught all kinds of fish.

48Soki etondi, balobi mbisi bakobimisa yango na mokili, bakovanda mpe bakotia bambisi ya malamu kati na bitunga mpe bakobwaka oyo ya mabe.When it was full, the men pulled it ashore. Then they sat down and sorted the good fish into containers, but threw the bad away.

49Ekozala mpe ndenge wana na suka ya mokili : ba-anjelu bakoya kokabola bato mabe kati na bato ya sembo,So will it be at the end of the age: The angels will come and separate the wicked from the righteous

50bongo bakobwaka bato mabe kati na fulu ya moto makasi epai wapi ekozala kolela mpe koswa minu.and throw them into the fiery furnace, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.

51Boni, bososoli makambo oyo nyonso ? Bazongisaki : — Iyo !Have you understood all these things?” “Yes,” they answered.

52Bongo, Yesu alobaki na bango : — Yango wana, molakisi nyonso ya mibeko, oyo akomi moyekoli ya makambo ya Bokonzi ya Likolo akokani na nkolo ndako oyo azali kobimisa na ebombelo bomengo na ye : biloko ya sika mpe biloko ya kala.Then He told them, “For this reason, every scribe who has been discipled in the kingdom of heaven is like a homeowner who brings out of his storeroom new treasures as well as old.”

53Sima na Yesu koloba masese wana, alongwaki na esika yangoWhen Jesus had finished these parables, He withdrew from that place.

54mpe azongaki kati na engumba na Ye ; akomaki koteya bato kati na ndako na bango ya mayangani, mpe bango bazalaki kokamwa makasi mpe komituna : « Bwanya mpe nguya ya kosala bikamwa oyo azwi yango wapi ?Coming to His hometown, He taught the people in their synagogue, and they were astonished. “Where did this man get such wisdom and miraculous powers?” they asked.

55Ezali ye te mwana ya mosali mabaya ? Mama na ye, kombo na ye ezali Mari te ? Jake, Jozefi, Simona mpe Jide bazali bandeko na ye ya mibali te ?“Isn’t this the carpenter’s son? Isn’t His mother’s name Mary, and aren’t His brothers James, Joseph, Simon, and Judas?

56Bongo bandeko na ye ya basi, bango nyonso bazali awa elongo na biso te ? Azwi makambo oyo nyonso wapi ? »Aren’t all His sisters with us as well? Where then did this man get all these things?”

57Boye, azalaki libaku mpo na kondima na bango. Kasi Yesu alobaki na bango : — Ezali kaka kati na ekolo na ye mpe kati na ndako na ye nde Mosakoli azwaka lokumu te.And they took offense at Him. But Jesus said to them, “Only in his hometown and in his own household is a prophet without honor.”

58Mpe asalaki kuna bikamwa mingi te mpo ete bazalaki kondima Ye te.And He did not do many miracles there, because of their unbelief.
