Acts 13
1 Now there were certain prophets and teachers in the church that was at Antioch; Barnabas, and Simeon, who is called Niger, and Lucius of Cyrene, and Manaen, who was brought up with Herod the tetrarch, and Saul.
Kati na Lingomba oyo ezalaki na Antioshe, ezalaki na basakoli mpe balakisi: Barnabasi, Simeoni oyo bazalaki kobenga « Moto mwindo, » Lusiusi ya Sirene, Manaeni oyo akolaki esika moko na moyangeli Erode, mpe Saulo.
2 And while they were ministering to the Lord, and fasting, the Holy Spirit said: Set apart for me Barnabas and Saul, to the work to which I have called them.
Ezalaki mokolo moko, wana bazalaki kogumbamela Nkolo mpe kokila bilei, Molimo Mosantu alobaki: — Botiela ngai pembeni Barnabasi mpe Saulo mpo na mosala oyo nabengeli bango.
3 Then, after they had fasted and prayed, and laid their hands on them, they sent them away.
Boye, sima na bango kokila bilei mpe kosambela, batielaki bango maboko mpe batikaki bango kokende.
4 Therefore, having been sent forth by the Holy Spirit, they went down to Seleucia, and thence sailed to Cyprus.
Na etinda ya Molimo Mosantu, Barnabasi mpe Saulo bakendeki na Selesi; mpe longwa kuna, bazwaki masuwa mpo na kokende na esanga ya Shipre.
5 And while they were in Salamis, they preached the word of God in the synagogue of the Jews; and they had John as their attendant.
Tango bakomaki na Salamine, bateyaki Liloba na Nzambe kati na bandako ya mayangani ya Bayuda. Yoane Malako azalaki elongo na bango lokola mosungi.
6 And having gone through the island as far as Paphos, they found a certain magician, a Jewish false prophet, whose name was Bar-jesus;
Bakatisaki esanga mobimba kino bakomaki na Pafosi epai wapi bamonaki Moyuda moko, kombo na ye « Bari-Yesu. » Azalaki moto ya maji mpe mosakoli ya lokuta.
7 and he was with the proconsul, Sergius Paulus, who was a man of intelligence. This man called for Barnabas and Saul, and expressed an earnest wish to hear the word of God.
Azalaki mpe moninga ya moyangeli Sergiusi Paulusi oyo azalaki moto ya mayele. Boye, Sergiusi Paulusi abengisaki Barnabasi mpe Saulo, pamba te azalaki na posa ya koyoka Liloba na Nzambe.
8 But the magician Elymas (for this is his name, when translated) withstood them, desiring to turn away the proconsul from the faith.
Kasi Elimasi, moto ya maji (pamba te yango nde ezali ndimbola ya kombo na ye), atelemelaki bango mpe azalaki kosala nyonso mpo na kopengwisa kondima ya moyangeli.
9 Then Saul, who is also called Paul, filled with the Holy Spirit, and looking earnestly upon him,
Bongo lokola Saulo, oyo bazalaki mpe kobenga « Polo, » azalaki atondisama na Molimo Mosantu, atalaki Elimasi na miso mpe alobaki na ye:
10 said: O full of all deceit and all wickedness, child of the devil, enemy of all righteousness, will you not cease to pervert the right ways of the Lord?
— Mwana ya Satana mpe monguna ya makambo nyonso ya sembo! Otondi na lolenge nyonso ya lokuta mpe ya mayele mabe! Kino tango nini okotika kobebisa mabongisi ya Nkolo, oyo ezali sembo?
11 And now, behold, the hand of the Lord is upon you, and you shall be blind, not seeing the sun for a season. And immediately there fell on him a mist and a darkness, and he went about and sought some to lead him by the hand.
Tala, loboko ya Nkolo etelemeli yo sik’oyo. Ozali kokoma mokufi miso mpo na mwa tango moke, okomona lisusu te pole ya moyi. Kaka na tango yango, lipata mpe molili ezipaki miso ya Elimasi; azalaki lisusu komona te mpe akomaki kobaluka-baluka bipai nyonso na koluka moto mpo ete asimba ye na loboko mpe alakisa ye nzela.
12 Then the proconsul, seeing what was done, believed, being amazed at the teaching of the Lord.
Tango moyangeli amonaki makambo oyo esalemaki, andimaki, pamba te mateya na tina na Nkolo ekamwisaki ye makasi.
13 And Paul and his companions put to sea from Paphos, and went to Perga in Pamphylia. But John withdrew from them, and returned to Jerusalem.
Wuta na Pafosi, Polo elongo na baninga na ye bazwaki masuwa mpe bakendeki na Perje, kati na mokili ya Pafili, epai wapi Yoane Malako atikaki bango mpo na kozonga na Yelusalemi.
14 But having passed through from Perga, they came to Antioch in Pisidia; and on the sabbath-day they went into the synagogue, and sat down.
Mpe longwa na Perje, bakobaki mobembo na bango kino na Antioshe, kati na mokili ya Pisidi. Na mokolo ya Saba, bakotaki na ndako ya mayangani mpe bavandaki.
15 After the reading of the law and the prophets, the rulers of the synagogue sent to them, saying: Brethren, if you have a word of exhortation for the people, speak.
Sima na kotanga Mobeko mpe Basakoli, bakambi ya ndako ya mayangani batindelaki bango maloba: — Bandeko, soki bozali na maloba mpo na kolendisa bato, bokoki na bino koloba.
16 Then Paul arose, and waving his hand, said: Men of Israel, and you who fear God, give audience.
Polo atelemaki, atombolaki loboko mpe alobaki: — Bato ya Isalaele mpe bino oyo bozali Bayuda te kasi botosaka Nzambe, boyoka ngai!
17 The God of this people chose our fathers, and exalted the people when they sojourned in the land of Egypt, and with an uplifted arm he brought them out from it.
Nzambe ya bato ya Isalaele aponaki bakoko na biso, akomisaki bango ekolo monene na tango oyo bavandaki kati na mokili ya Ejipito lokola bapaya, mpe abimisaki bango na mokili yango na nguya monene.
18 And for about forty years, he cherished them in the wilderness.
Mibu tuku minei mobimba, ayikelaki bango mpiko kati na esobe;
19 And when he had destroyed seven nations in the land of Chanaan, he divided their land among them by lot.
abebisaki bikolo sambo kati na mokili ya Kanana mpe apesaki mabele na bango lokola libula epai ya bato na Ye.
20 And after that he gave them judges, for about four hundred and fifty years, till Samuel the prophet.
Makambo wana nyonso ewumelaki mibu pene nkama minei na tuku mitano. Sima na yango, Nzambe apesaki bango bilombe kino na tango ya mosakoli Samuele.
21 And afterward they asked for a king, and God gave them Saul the son of Kis, a man of the tribe of Benjamin, for forty years.
Bongo, basengaki mokonzi, mpe Nzambe apesaki bango Saulo, mwana mobali ya Kisi, moto ya libota ya Benjame, oyo asalaki mibu tuku minei na bokonzi.
22 And when he had removed him, he raised up David to be their king; to whom he gave this testimony: I have found David the son of Jesse a man after my own heart, who will do all my will.
Sima na Ye kolongola Saulo, akomisaki Davidi mokonzi na bango. Tala maloba oyo Nzambe atatolaki na tina na ye: « Namoni Davidi, mwana mobali ya Yese, moto oyo asepelisaka motema na ngai; akokokisa solo mokano na ngai nyonso. »
23 From the posterity of this man, God, according to his promise, raised up for Israel a Savior, Jesus;
Ezali wuta na libota ya Davidi nde Nzambe abimisaki, mpo na bana ya Isalaele, Mobikisi Yesu, ndenge alakaki.
24 John having first preached, before his coming, the immersion of repentance to all the people of Israel.
Liboso ete Yesu aya, Yoane ateyaki bato nyonso ya Isalaele ete babongola mitema mpe bazwa libatisi.
25 And as John was finishing his course, he said: Who do you suppose that I am? I am not he; but behold, there is coming after me one, the sandals of whose feet I am not worthy to loose.
Wana Yoane akomaki pene ya kosilisa mosala na ye, alobaki: « Bokanisi ete ngai nazali nani? Nazali te Moto oyo bozali kozela. Kasi azali koya sima na ngai, Ye oyo nabongi kutu te mpo na kofungola ata basinga ya basandale na Ye! »
26 Brethren, sons of the family of Abraham, and those among you who fear God, to you is the word of this salvation sent.
Bandeko na ngai, bino oyo bozali bana ya Abrayami, mpe bino oyo bozali Bayuda te kasi botosaka Nzambe, ezali epai na biso nde Nzambe atindaki maloba oyo ya lobiko.
27 For those who dwell in Jerusalem, and their rulers, because they did not know him, nor the words of the prophets, which are read every sabbath-day, have fulfilled them in condemning him.
Bato ya Yelusalemi mpe bakambi na bango basosolaki te soki Yesu azali nani; basosolaki mpe te maloba ya basakoli oyo etangamaka mikolo nyonso ya Saba. Nzokande, tango bakatelaki Ye etumbu, bakokisaki nde masakoli yango.
28 And though they found no cause of death, yet they demanded of Pilate that he should be slain.
Atako bamonaki mabe moko te kati na Ye, mabe oyo ekokaki komemela Ye etumbu ya kufa, kasi basengaki kaka ete Pilato aboma Ye.
29 And when they had fulfilled all that was written of him, they took him down from the tree, and laid him in a sepulcher.
Tango mpe bakokisaki makambo nyonso oyo ekomama na tina na Ye, bakitisaki Ye longwa na ekulusu mpe batiaki Ye kati na kunda.
30 But God raised him from the dead.
Kasi Nzambe asekwisaki Ye kati na bakufi,
31 And he was seen for many days by those who came up with him from Galilee to Jerusalem, who are his witnesses to the people.
mpe bato oyo basalaki mibembo elongo na Ye, longwa na Galile kino na Yelusalemi, bamonaki Ye mikolo ebele. Bazali sik’oyo batatoli na Ye epai ya bato na biso.
32 And we preach to you good news concerning the promise made to our fathers,
Tozali koyebisa bino sango malamu oyo: elaka oyo Nzambe apesaki na bakoko na biso,
33 that God has fulfilled the same to us, their children, by raising up Jesus, as it is written in the second Psalm: Thou art my Son, this day have I begotten thee.
Nzambe akokisi yango mpo na biso, bana na bango, na kosekwisa Yesu kati na bakufi, kolanda ndenge ekomama kati na Nzembo ya mibale: « Ozali Mwana na Ngai; na mokolo ya lelo, nakomi Tata na Yo. »
34 But that he raised him from the dead, no more to return to corruption, he has spoken thus: I will give you the sure mercies of David.
Nzambe asekwisaki Ye kati na bakufi mpo ete apola ata mokolo moko te. Kolanda ndenge Nzambe alobaki: « Nakopesa bino mapamboli ya bule mpe ya solo, oyo nalakaki Davidi. »
35 For which reason he says also in another Psalm: Thou wilt not suffer thy Holy One to see corruption.
Yango wana, na eteni mosusu, elobamaki lisusu: « Okotika te Mosantu na Yo kopola. »
36 For David, after serving the purpose of God in his own generation, fell asleep, and was laid with his fathers, and saw corruption.
Nzokande, Davidi, sima na ye kokokisa mabongisi ya Nzambe na tango na ye, akufaki mpe akundamaki pembeni ya bakoko na ye; boye nzoto na ye epolaki.
37 But he whom God raised up did not see corruption.
Kasi Ye oyo Nzambe asekwisaki apolaki te.
38 Be it known to you, therefore, brethren, that through this man is preached to you the remission of sins:
Yango wana, bandeko na ngai, nalingi boyeba ete ezali na nzela ya Yesu nde bolimbisi ya masumu esakolami epai na bino mpe bozwi bolimbisi ya masumu nyonso oyo Mobeko ya Moyize ekokaki te kokangola bino.
39 and by him, every one that believes is justified from all things, from which you could not be justified by the law of Moses.
Ezali mpe na nzela ya Yesu nde moto nyonso oyo andimi akomi sembo.
40 Take heed, therefore, lest that which is spoken in the prophets come upon you:
Yango wana, bosala keba ete makambo oyo basakoli baloba ekomela bino te:
41 Behold, you despisers, and wonder, and perish. For I work a work in your days, a work which you will not believe, though one fully declare it to you.
« Bino batioli, botala, bokamwa mpe bolimwa, pamba te nakosala likambo moko na tango na bino, likambo oyo bokokaki kondima te soki bayebisaki bino yango. »
42 And as they were departing from the synagogue, they were requested to speak these things to them on the next sabbath.
Tango Polo mpe Barnabasi babimaki na ndako ya mayangani, bato basengaki bango kolobela lisusu makambo wana na mokolo ya Saba oyo elandaki.
43 Now, after the congregation was dismissed, many of the Jews and religious proselytes followed Paul and Barnabas, who spoke to them, and persuaded them to continue faithful to the grace of God.
Tango mayangani esilaki, Bayuda mingi elongo na bato ya bikolo mosusu, oyo bakotaki na lingomba ya Bayuda mpe bazalaki kogumbamela Nzambe, balandaki Polo mpe Barnabasi oyo bazalaki kosolola na bango mpe kondimisa bango ete batikala ya kokangama makasi na ngolu ya Nzambe.
44 And on the next sabbath-day, almost the whole city met together to hear the word of God.
Na mokolo ya Saba oyo elandaki, bato ebele penza ya engumba bayaki kosangana mpo na koyoka Liloba na Nkolo.
45 But when the Jews saw the multitudes, they were filled with envy, and spoke against those things which were spoken by Paul, contradicting and reviling.
Kasi tango Bayuda bamonaki ebele ya bato, batondaki na zuwa; bakomaki koloba mabe na tina na makambo oyo Polo azalaki koloba, mpe bakomaki kofinga ye.
46 But Paul and Barnabas, speaking boldly, said: It was necessary that the word of God should be spoken to you first: but since you reject it, and judge yourselves unworthy of eternal life, lo! we turn to tho Gentiles. (aiōnios g166)
Bongo, Polo mpe Barnabasi balobaki na bango na mpiko: — Tosengeli liboso koteya bino Liloba na Nzambe. Kasi lokola boboyi yango mpe bozali bino moko komimona ete bokoki te mpo na kozwa bomoi ya seko, tokeyi na biso sik’oyo epai ya bato oyo bazali Bayuda te. (aiōnios g166)
47 For thus has the Lord given us commandment: I have placed thee for a light to the Gentiles, that thou mayest be for salvation to the most distant part of the earth.
Pamba te, tala makambo oyo Nkolo atindaki biso: « Nakomisi yo pole mpo na bikolo mosusu, mpo ete omema lobiko kino na suka ya mokili. »
48 When the Gentiles heard this they rejoiced, and glorified the word of the Lord; and as many as were determined to obtain eternal life, believed. (aiōnios g166)
Tango bato ya bikolo ya bapaya bayokaki bongo, basepelaki mpe bakomaki kokumisa Liloba na Nkolo; mpe bato nyonso oyo Nzambe abongisa mpo na kozwa bomoi ya seko bakomaki bandimi. (aiōnios g166)
49 And the word of the Lord was published throughout the whole of that region.
Liloba na Nkolo epanzanaki na etuka wana mobimba.
50 But the Jews in cited the devout and influential women, and the first men of the city, and raised a persecution against Paul and Barnabas, and expelled them from their borders.
Kasi Bayuda batiaki songisongi epai ya basi ya lokumu oyo bazalaki kogumbamela Nzambe, mpe epai ya bato minene ya engumba wana; bapelisaki moto mpo ete Polo mpe Barnabasi banyokolama, mpe babenganaki bango wuta na mokili na bango.
51 But they shook off the dust from their feet against them, and went to Iconium.
Na bongo, Polo mpe Barnabasi bapupolaki putulu ya makolo na bango mpo na bato wana, mpe bakendeki na Ikoniomi.
52 And the disciples were filled with joy and the Holy Spirit.
Nzokande, bayekoli batondaki na esengo mpe na Molimo Mosantu.
