Acts 13
1 Now there were, in the Church at Antioch, prophets and teachers, among whom were Barnabas, and Simon, who was called the Black, and Lucius of Cyrene, and Manahen, who was the foster brother of 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 Now as they were ministering for the Lord and fasting, the Holy Spirit said to them: “Separate Saul and Barnabas for me, for the work for which I have selected 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, fasting and praying and imposing their hands upon them, they sent them away.
Boye, sima na bango kokila bilei mpe kosambela, batielaki bango maboko mpe batikaki bango kokende.
4 And having been sent by the Holy Spirit, they went to Seleucia. And from there they 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 when they had arrived at Salamis, they were preaching the Word of God in the synagogues of the Jews. And they also had John in the ministry.
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 when they had traveled throughout the entire island, even to Paphos, they found a certain man, a magician, a false prophet, a Jew, whose name was Bar-Jesu.
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, a prudent man. This man, summoning Barnabas and Saul, 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 magician (for so his name is translated) stood against them, seeking to turn the proconsul away 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, having been filled with the Holy Spirit, looked intently at him,
Bongo lokola Saulo, oyo bazalaki mpe kobenga « Polo, » azalaki atondisama na Molimo Mosantu, atalaki Elimasi na miso mpe alobaki na ye:
10 and he said: “So full of every deceit and of all falsehoods, son of the devil, enemy of all justice, you never cease to subvert the righteous 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 will be blinded, not seeing the sun for a length of time.” And immediately a fog and a darkness fell over him. And wandering around, he was seeking someone who might 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, when he had seen what was done, believed, being in wonder over the doctrine of the Lord.
Tango moyangeli amonaki makambo oyo esalemaki, andimaki, pamba te mateya na tina na Nkolo ekamwisaki ye makasi.
13 And when Paul and those who were with him had sailed from Paphos, they arrived at Perga in Pamphylia. Then John departed 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 Yet truly, they, traveling on from Perga, arrived at Antioch in Pisidia. And upon entering the synagogue on the Sabbath day, they 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 Then, after the reading from the Law and the Prophets, the leaders of the synagogue sent to them, saying: “Noble brothers, if there is in you any word of exhortation to 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, rising up and motioning for silence with his hand, said: “Men of Israel and you who fear God, listen closely.
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, and exalted the people, when they were settlers in the land of Egypt. And with an exalted arm, he led them away from there.
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 throughout a time of forty years, he endured their behavior in the desert.
Mibu tuku minei mobimba, ayikelaki bango mpiko kati na esobe;
19 And by destroying seven nations in the land of Canaan, 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 after about four hundred and fifty years. And after these things, he gave them judges, even until the prophet Samuel.
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 later on, they petitioned for a king. And God gave them Saul, the son of Kish, a man from 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 having removed him, he raised up for them king David. And offering testimony about him, he said, ‘I have found David, the son of Jesse, to be a man according to my own heart, who will accomplish all that I 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 his offspring, according to the Promise, God has brought Jesus the Savior to Israel.
Ezali wuta na libota ya Davidi nde Nzambe abimisaki, mpo na bana ya Isalaele, Mobikisi Yesu, ndenge alakaki.
24 John was preaching, before the face of his advent, 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 Then, when John completed his course, he was saying: ‘I am not the one you consider me to be. For behold, one arrives after me, the shoes of whose feet I am not worthy to loosen.’
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 Noble brothers, sons of the stock of Abraham, and those among you who fear God, it is to you the Word of this 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 For those who were living in Jerusalem, and its rulers, heeding neither him, nor the voices of the Prophets that are read on every Sabbath, fulfilled these by judging 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 although they found no case for death against him, they petitioned Pilate, so that they might put him to death.
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 everything that had been written about him, taking him down from the tree, they placed 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 Yet truly, God raised him up from the dead on the third day.
Kasi Nzambe asekwisaki Ye kati na bakufi,
31 And he was seen for many days by those who went up with him from Galilee to Jerusalem, who even now 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 are announcing to you that the Promise, which was made to our fathers,
Tozali koyebisa bino sango malamu oyo: elaka oyo Nzambe apesaki na bakoko na biso,
33 has been fulfilled by God for our children by raising up Jesus, just as it has been written in the second Psalm also: ‘You are my Son. This day I have begotten you.’
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 Now, since he raised him from the dead, so as to no longer return to corruption, he has said this: ‘I will give to you the holy things of David, the faithful one.’
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 And also then, in another place, he says: ‘You will not allow your Holy One to see corruption.’
Yango wana, na eteni mosusu, elobamaki lisusu: « Okotika te Mosantu na Yo kopola. »
36 For David, when he had ministered to his generation in accordance with the will of God, fell asleep, and he was placed next to his fathers, and he 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 Yet truly, he whom God has raised from the dead has not seen corruption.
Kasi Ye oyo Nzambe asekwisaki apolaki te.
38 Therefore, let it be known to you, noble brothers, that through him is announced to you remission from sins and from everything by which you were not able to be justified in the law of Moses.
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 In him, all who believe are justified.
Ezali mpe na nzela ya Yesu nde moto nyonso oyo andimi akomi sembo.
40 Therefore, be careful, lest what was said by the Prophets may overwhelm you:
Yango wana, bosala keba ete makambo oyo basakoli baloba ekomela bino te:
41 ‘You despisers! Look, and wonder, and be scattered! For I am working a deed in your days, a deed which you would not believe, even if someone were to explain 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 Then, as they were departing, they asked them if, on the following Sabbath, they might speak these words to them.
Tango Polo mpe Barnabasi babimaki na ndako ya mayangani, bato basengaki bango kolobela lisusu makambo wana na mokolo ya Saba oyo elandaki.
43 And when the synagogue had been dismissed, many among the Jews and the new worshipers were following Paul and Barnabas. And they, speaking to them, persuaded 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 Yet truly, on the following Sabbath, nearly the entire city came 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 Then the Jews, seeing the crowds, were filled with envy, and they, blaspheming, contradicted the things that were being said by Paul.
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 said firmly: “It was necessary to speak the Word of God first to you. But because you reject it, and so judge yourselves unworthy of eternal life, behold, we 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 so has the Lord instructed us: ‘I have set you as a light to the Gentiles, so that you may 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 Then the Gentiles, upon hearing this, were gladdened, and they were glorifying the Word of the Lord. And as many as believed were preordained to eternal life. (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 Now the word of the Lord was disseminated throughout the entire region.
Liloba na Nkolo epanzanaki na etuka wana mobimba.
50 But the Jews incited some devout and honest women, and the leaders of the city. And they stirred up a persecution against Paul and Barnabas. And they drove them away from their parts.
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, shaking the dust from their feet against them, went on to Iconium.
Na bongo, Polo mpe Barnabasi bapupolaki putulu ya makolo na bango mpo na bato wana, mpe bakendeki na Ikoniomi.
52 The disciples were likewise filled with gladness and with the Holy Spirit.
Nzokande, bayekoli batondaki na esengo mpe na Molimo Mosantu.
