Matthew 9 (LIN)

1Yesu amataki na bwato, akatisaki ebale mpe akendeki na engumba na Ye.Jesus got into a boat, crossed over, and came to His own town.

2Bamemelaki Ye ebosono moko alala na tsipoyi. Tango Yesu amonaki kondima na bango, alobaki na ebosono yango : — Mwana na Ngai, yika mpiko ! Masumu na yo elimbisami.Just then some men brought to Him a paralytic lying on a mat. When Jesus saw their faith, He said to the paralytic, “Take courage, son; your sins are forgiven.”

3Mpo na yango, ndambo ya balakisi ya Mobeko bakomaki kolobaloba na se ya mitema : — Moto oyo azali kotiola Nzambe !On seeing this, some of the scribes said to themselves, “This man is blaspheming!”

4Lokola Yesu asosolaki makanisi na bango, atunaki bango : — Mpo na nini bozali na makanisi mabe kati na mitema na bino ?But Jesus knew what they were thinking and said, “Why do you harbor evil in your hearts?

5Likambo nini eleki pete mpo na koloba : « Masumu na yo elimbisami to telema mpe tambola ? »Which is easier: to say, ‘Your sins are forgiven,’ or to say, ‘Get up and walk’?

6Ezali mpo boyeba ete Mwana na Moto azali na bokonzi ya kolimbisa masumu kati na mokili. Bongo alobaki na ebosono : — Telema, kamata tsipoyi na yo mpe zonga na ndako na yo.But so that you may know that the Son of Man has authority on earth to forgive sins...” Then He said to the paralytic, “Get up, pick up your mat, and go home.”

7Moto yango atelemaki mpe akendeki na ndako na ye.And the man got up and went home.

8Tango ebele ya bato bamonaki bongo, batondaki na somo mpe bakomaki kokumisa Nzambe oyo apesi bokonzi ya ndenge wana epai ya bato.When the crowds saw this, they were filled with awe and glorified God, who had given such authority to men.

9Wana Yesu alongwaki na esika yango mpe azalaki kokende, amonaki mobali moko avandi na ndako na ye ya mosala epai wapi bafutaka mpako ; kombo na ye ezalaki « Matayo. » Yesu alobaki na ye : « Landa Ngai. » Boye Matayo atelemaki mpe alandaki Yesu.As Jesus went on from there, He saw a man named Matthew sitting at the tax booth. “Follow Me,” He told him, and Matthew got up and followed Him.

10Wana Yesu azalaki kolia kati na ndako ya Matayo, bafutisi mpako ebele mpe bato mosusu ya masumu bayaki mpe baliaki mesa moko na Yesu elongo na bayekoli na Ye.Later, as Jesus was dining at Matthew’s house, many tax collectors and sinners came and ate with Him and His disciples.

11Tango Bafarizeo bamonaki bongo, batunaki bayekoli ya Yesu : — Mpo na nini moteyi na bino azali kolia mesa moko na bafutisi mpako mpe bato ya masumu ?When the Pharisees saw this, they asked His disciples, “Why does your Teacher eat with tax collectors and sinners?”

12Kasi lokola Yesu ayokaki Bafarizeo koloba bongo, alobaki na bango : — Bato oyo bazali kolongono na nzoto bazalaka na posa ya monganga te ; ezali babeli nde bazalaka na posa na ye.On hearing this, Jesus said, “It is not the healthy who need a doctor, but the sick.

13Bokende koyekola tina ya maloba oyo : « Nasepelaka na motema ya boboto koleka mbeka, » pamba te nayaki te koluka bato ya sembo, kasi bato ya masumu.But go and learn what this means: ‘I desire mercy, not sacrifice.’ For I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners.”

14Bongo bayekoli ya Yoane bayaki mpe batunaki Yesu : — Mpo na nini biso mpe Bafarizeo tokilaka bilei, kasi bayekoli na yo bakilaka bilei te ?Then John’s disciples came to Jesus and asked, “Why is it that we and the Pharisees fast so often, but Your disciples do not fast?”

15Yesu azongiselaki bango : — Boni, bato oyo babengami na feti ya libala bakoki solo kozala na mawa, wana mobali ya libala azali elongo na bango ? Nzokande, tango ezali koya oyo bakolongola mobali ya libala kati na bango ; mpe ekozala na tango wana nde bakokila bilei.Jesus replied, “How can the guests of the bridegroom mourn while He is with them? But the time will come when the bridegroom will be taken from them; then they will fast.

16Moto moko te asalelaka eteni ya elamba ya sika mpo na kobamba elamba ya kala, noki te eteni ya elamba ya sika ekopasola elamba ya kala, mpe ekosala lidusu monene koleka.No one sews a patch of unshrunk cloth on an old garment. For the patch will pull away from the garment, and a worse tear will result.

17Ezali mpe ndenge moko mpo na vino ya sika : batiaka yango te kati na bambeki ya kala, noki te bambeki ekopasuka, vino ekosopana mpe bambeki ekobeba libela. Nzokande, batiaka kaka vino ya sika kati na bambeki ya sika ; na bongo, vino mpe bambeki ekobatelama malamu.Neither do men pour new wine into old wineskins. If they do, the skins will burst, the wine will spill, and the wineskins will be ruined. Instead, they pour new wine into new wineskins, and both are preserved.”

18Wana Yesu azalaki koloba na bango, mokambi moko ayaki ; agumbamaki liboso ya Yesu mpe alobaki na Ye : — Mwana na ngai ya mwasi akufi kaka sik’oyo ; yaka, tiela ye loboko, mpe akozonga lisusu na bomoi.While Jesus was saying these things, a synagogue leader came and knelt before Him. “My daughter has just died,” he said. “But come and place Your hand on her, and she will live.”

19Yesu atelemaki mpe, elongo na bayekoli na Ye, alandaki mokambi yango.So Jesus got up and went with him, along with His disciples.

20Na tango yango kaka, ezalaki na mwasi moko oyo azalaki na bokono ya kotanga makila, mpe bokono yango ewumelaki mibu pene zomi na mibale. Mwasi yango ayaki na sima ya Yesu mpe asimbaki singa ya songe ya elamba na Ye,Suddenly a woman who had suffered from bleeding for twelve years came up behind Him and touched the fringe of His cloak.

21pamba te azalaki komilobela : — Soki kaka nasimbi elamba na Ye, nakobika na bokono na ngai.She said to herself, “If only I touch His cloak, I will be healed.”

22Yesu atalaki na sima mpe amonaki ye ; alobaki : — Mwana na Ngai ya mwasi, yika mpiko ! Kondima na yo ebikisi yo. Mpe kaka na tango yango, mwasi yango abikaki na bokono na ye.Jesus turned and saw her. “Take courage, daughter,” He said, “your faith has healed you.” And the woman was healed from that very hour.

23Tango Yesu akomaki na ndako ya mokambi ya ndako ya mayangani, amonaki babeti flite mpe bato ebele bazali kotia makelele.When Jesus entered the house of the synagogue leader, He saw the flute players and the noisy crowd.

24Alobaki na bango : — Bobima ! Mwana akufi te ; alali nde pongi. Kasi bato bakomaki kotiola Ye.“Go away,” He told them. “The girl is not dead, but asleep.” And they laughed at Him.

25Mpe sima na bango kobima libanda, Yesu akotaki na shambre, asimbaki elenge mwasi na loboko, mpe elenge mwasi yango alamukaki.After the crowd had been put outside, Jesus went in and took the girl by the hand, and she got up.

26Sango ya likambo yango epanzanaki na etuka wana mobimba.And the news about this spread throughout that region.

27Tango Yesu alongwaki wana, bakufi miso mibale balandaki Ye na koganga : — Mwana ya Davidi, yokela biso mawa !As Jesus went on from there, two blind men followed Him, crying out, “Have mercy on us, Son of David!”

28Tango Yesu akomaki na ndako, bakufi miso bapusanaki pene na Ye. Atunaki bango : — Bondimi ete nazali na makoki ya kosala oyo bozali kosenga Ngai ? Bazongisaki : — Iyo, Nkolo !After Jesus had entered the house, the blind men came to Him. “Do you believe that I am able to do this?” He asked. “Yes, Lord,” they answered.

29Bongo asimbaki miso na bango mpe alobaki : — Tika ete esalemela bino kolanda kondima na bino !Then He touched their eyes and said, “According to your faith will it be done to you.”

30Mpe mbala moko, bakomaki komona. Bongo Yesu akebisaki bango : — Bosala keba ete moto moko te ayeba likambo oyo ekomeli bino.And their eyes were opened. Jesus warned them sternly, “See that no one finds out about this!”

31Kasi bango, tango kaka babimi, bakomaki kopanza sango na Ye kati na etuka wana mobimba.But they went out and spread the news about Him throughout the land.

32Wana bato wana mibale bazalaki kobima, bamemelaki Yesu moto moko oyo azalaki na se ya bokonzi ya molimo mabe mpe azalaki koloba te.As they were leaving, a demon-possessed man who was mute was brought to Jesus.

33Yesu abenganaki molimo mabe yango, mpe moto oyo azalaki koloba te akomaki koloba. Ebele ya bato bakamwaki mpe balobaki : — Kati na Isalaele, totikala nanu komona likambo ya boye te !And when the demon had been driven out, the man began to speak. The crowds were amazed and said, “Nothing like this has ever been seen in Israel!”

34Kasi Bafarizeo bazalaki koloba : — Azali kobengana milimo mabe na nguya ya mokonzi ya milimo mabe.But the Pharisees said, “It is by the prince of demons that He drives out demons.”

35Yesu azalaki kotambola na bamboka mpe na bingumba nyonso, azalaki koteya kati na bandako na bango ya mayangani mpe kosakola Sango Malamu ya Bokonzi ; azalaki kobikisa bato na bokono mpe na pasi ya ndenge na ndenge.Jesus went through all the towns and villages, teaching in their synagogues, preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing every disease and sickness.

36Tango Yesu amonaki ngulupa ebele ya bato, ayokelaki bango mawa, pamba te mitema na bango ebukanaki, mpe balembaki makasi lokola bameme oyo ezangi mobateli.When He saw the crowds, He was moved with compassion for them, because they were harassed and helpless, like sheep without a shepherd.

37Yesu alobaki na bayekoli na Ye : « Elanga ezali monene, kasi basali bazali moke !Then He said to His disciples, “The harvest is plentiful, but the workers are few.

38Yango wana, bosenga na Nkolo elanga ete atinda basali kati na elanga na Ye. »Ask the Lord of the harvest, therefore, to send out workers into His harvest.”
