Acts 13
1 Now in the church at Antioch there were prophets and teachers: Barnabas, Simeon called Niger, Lucius of Cyrene, Manaen (who had been 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 While they were worshiping the Lord and fasting, the Holy Spirit said, “Set apart for Me Barnabas and Saul for 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 And after they had fasted and prayed, they laid their hands on them and sent them off.
Boye, sima na bango kokila bilei mpe kosambela, batielaki bango maboko mpe batikaki bango kokende.
4 So Barnabas and Saul, sent forth by the Holy Spirit, went down to Seleucia and sailed from there 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 When they arrived at Salamis, they proclaimed the word of God in the Jewish synagogues. And John was with them as their helper.
Tango bakomaki na Salamine, bateyaki Liloba na Nzambe kati na bandako ya mayangani ya Bayuda. Yoane Malako azalaki elongo na bango lokola mosungi.
6 They traveled through the whole island as far as Paphos, where they found a Jewish sorcerer and false prophet named 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 an attendant of the proconsul, Sergius Paulus. The proconsul, a man of intelligence, summoned Barnabas and Saul because he wanted 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 Elymas the sorcerer (for that is what his name means) opposed them and tried to turn 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 was also called Paul, filled with the Holy Spirit, looked directly at Elymas
Bongo lokola Saulo, oyo bazalaki mpe kobenga « Polo, » azalaki atondisama na Molimo Mosantu, atalaki Elimasi na miso mpe alobaki na ye:
10 and said, “O child of the devil and enemy of all righteousness, you are full of all kinds of deceit and trickery! Will you never stop perverting the straight 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 Now look, the hand of the Lord is against you, and for a time you will be blind and unable to see the light of the sun.” Immediately mist and darkness came over him, and he groped about, seeking someone 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 When the proconsul saw what had happened, he believed, for he was astonished at the teaching about the Lord.
Tango moyangeli amonaki makambo oyo esalemaki, andimaki, pamba te mateya na tina na Nkolo ekamwisaki ye makasi.
13 After setting sail from Paphos, Paul and his companions came to Perga in Pamphylia, where John left them to return 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 And from Perga, they traveled inland to Pisidian Antioch, where they entered the synagogue on the Sabbath 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 from the Law and the Prophets, the synagogue leaders sent word to them: “Brothers, if you have a word of encouragement for the people, please 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 Paul stood up, motioned with his hand, and began to speak: “Men of Israel and you Gentiles who fear God, listen to me!
Polo atelemaki, atombolaki loboko mpe alobaki: — Bato ya Isalaele mpe bino oyo bozali Bayuda te kasi botosaka Nzambe, boyoka ngai!
17 The God of the people of Israel chose our fathers. He made them into a great people during their stay in Egypt, and with an uplifted arm He led them out of that land.
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 He endured their conduct for about forty years in the wilderness.
Mibu tuku minei mobimba, ayikelaki bango mpiko kati na esobe;
19 And having vanquished seven nations in Canaan, He gave their land to His people as an inheritance.
abebisaki bikolo sambo kati na mokili ya Kanana mpe apesaki mabele na bango lokola libula epai ya bato na Ye.
20 All this took about 450 years. After this, God gave them judges until the time of 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 Then the people asked for a king, and God gave them forty years under Saul son of Kish, from the tribe of Benjamin.
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 After removing Saul, He raised up David as their king and testified about him: ‘I have found David son of Jesse a man after My own heart; he will carry out My will in its entirety.’
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 descendants of this man, God has brought to Israel the Savior Jesus, as He promised.
Ezali wuta na libota ya Davidi nde Nzambe abimisaki, mpo na bana ya Isalaele, Mobikisi Yesu, ndenge alakaki.
24 Before the arrival of Jesus, John preached a baptism 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 As John was completing his course, he said, ‘Who do you suppose I am? I am not that One. But He is coming after me whose sandals I am not worthy to untie.’
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 Brothers, children of Abraham, and you Gentiles who fear God, it is to us that this message of salvation has been 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 The people of Jerusalem and their rulers did not recognize Jesus, yet in condemning Him they fulfilled the words of the prophets that are read every Sabbath.
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 ground for a death sentence, they asked Pilate to have Him executed.
Atako bamonaki mabe moko te kati na Ye, mabe oyo ekokaki komemela Ye etumbu ya kufa, kasi basengaki kaka ete Pilato aboma Ye.
29 When they had carried out all that was written about Him, they took Him down from the tree and laid Him in a tomb.
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 for many days He was seen by those who had accompanied Him from Galilee to Jerusalem. They are now His witnesses to our 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 now we proclaim to you the good news: What God promised our fathers
Tozali koyebisa bino sango malamu oyo: elaka oyo Nzambe apesaki na bakoko na biso,
33 He has fulfilled for us, their children, by raising up Jesus. As it is written in the second Psalm: ‘You are My Son; today I have become Your Father.’
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 In fact, God raised Him from the dead, never to see decay. As He has said: ‘I will give you the holy and sure blessings promised to 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 So also, He says in another Psalm: ‘You will not let Your Holy One see decay.’
Yango wana, na eteni mosusu, elobamaki lisusu: « Okotika te Mosantu na Yo kopola. »
36 For when David had served God’s purpose in his own generation, he fell asleep. His body was buried with his fathers and saw decay.
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 the One whom God raised from the dead did not see decay.
Kasi Ye oyo Nzambe asekwisaki apolaki te.
38 Therefore let it be known to you, brothers, that through Jesus the forgiveness of sins is proclaimed to you.
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 Through Him everyone who believes is justified from everything you could not be justified from by the law of Moses.
Ezali mpe na nzela ya Yesu nde moto nyonso oyo andimi akomi sembo.
40 Watch out, then, that what was spoken by the prophets does not happen to you:
Yango wana, bosala keba ete makambo oyo basakoli baloba ekomela bino te:
41 ‘Look, you scoffers, wonder and perish! For I am doing a work in your days that you would never believe, even if someone told 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 As Paul and Barnabas were leaving the synagogue, the people urged them to continue this message 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 After the synagogue was dismissed, many of the Jews and devout converts to Judaism followed Paul and Barnabas, who spoke to them and urged them to continue in 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 On the following Sabbath, nearly the whole city gathered to hear the word of the Lord.
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 crowds, they were filled with jealousy, and they blasphemously contradicted what Paul was saying.
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 Then Paul and Barnabas answered them boldly: “It was necessary to speak the word of God to you first. But since you reject it and do not consider yourselves worthy of eternal life, we now turn to the 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 this is what the Lord has commanded us: ‘I have made you a light for the Gentiles, to bring salvation to the ends 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 all who were appointed for 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 spread throughout that region.
Liloba na Nkolo epanzanaki na etuka wana mobimba.
50 The Jews, however, incited the religious women of prominence and the leading men of the city. They stirred up persecution against Paul and Barnabas and drove them out of their district.
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 So they shook the dust off their feet in protest 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 with the Holy Spirit.
Nzokande, bayekoli batondaki na esengo mpe na Molimo Mosantu.
