1 Corinthians 16
1 Now concerning the collection for the saints, as I directed the assemblies of Galatia, so do ye do also.
Mpo na makambo oyo etali makabo ya kokongola mpo na basantu, bosalaka, bino mpe, kolanda mitindo oyo napesaki Mangomba ya Galatia.
2 On [the] first of [the] week let each of you put by at home, laying up [in] whatever [degree] he may have prospered, that there may be no collections when I come.
Tika ete moko na moko kati na bino, na mokolo ya liboso ya poso, abomba ndambo ya mbongo kati na ndako na ye, kolanda ezweli na ye, mpo ete bazela te kokoma na ngai mpo na kokongola makabo yango.
3 And when I am arrived, whomsoever ye shall approve, these I will send with letters to carry your bounty to Jerusalem:
Tango nakoya, nakotinda elongo na mikanda, bato oyo bino moko bokopona, mpo ete bamema makabo na bino kuna na Yelusalemi.
4 and if it be suitable that I also should go, they shall go with me.
Soki ekomonana malamu ete ngai mpe nakende, wana tokokende na bango nzela moko.
5 But I will come to you when I shall have gone through Macedonia; for I do go through Macedonia.
Sima na ngai kolekela na Masedwane, nakoya kotala bino, pamba te nasengeli kolekela kuna.
6 But perhaps I will stay with you, or even winter with you, that ye may set me forward wheresoever I may go.
Tango mosusu, nakovanda mwa mikolo epai na bino to nakolekisa kuna tango ya malili, mpo ete bopesa ngai, bino moko, makoki oyo nasengeli na yango mpo na kokoba mobembo na ngai kino epai nakokende.
7 For I will not see you now in passing, for I hope to remain a certain time with you, if the Lord permit.
Na mbala oyo, naboyi komona bino na koleka, pamba te nazali na elikya ya kovanda mwa mikolo elongo na bino, soki Nkolo alingi.
8 But I remain in Ephesus until Pentecost.
Kasi nakotikala awa, na Efeso, kino na mokolo ya Pantekoti,
9 For a great door is opened to me and an effectual [one], and [the] adversaries many.
pamba te nakutani na libaku malamu ya kosakola Sango Malamu, mpe bayini bazali ebele.
10 Now if Timotheus come, see that he may be with you without fear; for he works the work of the Lord, even as I.
Soki Timote akomi, bosala nyonso ete azala na kimia kati na bino, pamba te asalaka mosala ya Nkolo, lokola ngai.
11 Let not therefore any one despise him; but set him forward in peace, that he may come to me; for I expect him with the brethren.
Tika ete moto moko te atala ye lokola eloko ya pamba! Bopesa ye makoki mpo ete asala mobembo ya malamu kino epai na ngai, pamba te nazali kozela ye elongo na bandeko.
12 Now concerning the brother Apollos, I begged him much that he would go to you with the brethren; but it was not at all [his] will to go now; but he will come when he shall have good opportunity.
Mpo na oyo etali Apolosi, ndeko na biso, nalendisaki ye makasi ete aya kotala bino elongo na bandeko, kasi aboyi kosala yango sik’oyo; akoya kaka tango akokutana na libaku ya malamu.
13 Be vigilant; stand fast in the faith; quit yourselves like men; be strong.
Bosenzelaka, botelemaka ngwi kati na kondima, boyikaka mpiko, bozalaka makasi.
14 Let all things ye do be done in love.
Bosalaka makambo nyonso na bolingo.
15 But I beseech you, brethren, (ye know the house of Stephanas, that it is the first-fruits of Achaia, and they have devoted themselves to the saints for service, )
Bandeko na ngai, nazali lisusu kopesa bino etinda. Boyebi malamu ete Stefanasi mpe libota na ye bazalaki bato ya liboso ya kobongola mitema kati na Akayi, mpe ete bakomaki kosalela basantu.
16 that ye should also be subject to such, and to every one joined in the work and labouring.
Bino mpe, botosaka bato ya ndenge wana mpe moto nyonso oyo asalaka elongo na bango.
17 But I rejoice in the coming of Stephanas and Fortunatus and Achaicus; because they have supplied what was lacking on your part.
Nasepeli mingi komona Stefanasi, Fortinatisi mpe Akayikisi; pamba te esali lokola namoni bino nyonso.
18 For they have refreshed my spirit and yours: own therefore such.
Balendisaki ngai, ndenge basalaka yango mbala na mbala mpo na bino. Boye, boyebaka kondima bato ya boye.
19 The assemblies of Asia salute you. Aquila and Priscilla, with the assembly in their house, salute you much in [the] Lord.
Mangomba ya Azia etindeli bino mbote. Akilasi mpe Prisika, elongo na Lingomba oyo esanganaka kati na ndako na bango, bapesi bino mbote mingi kati na Nkolo.
20 All the brethren salute you. Salute one another with a holy kiss.
Bandeko nyonso batindeli bino mbote. Bopesanaka bino na bino mbote na nzela ya beze ya bule.
21 The salutation of [me] Paul with my own hand.
Ezali ngai, Polo, moto nazali kokoma mbote oyo, na loboko na ngai moko.
22 If any one love not the Lord [Jesus Christ] let him be Anathema Maranatha.
Soki ezali na moto oyo alingaka Nkolo te, tika ete alakelama mabe! Oh Nkolo, yaka!
23 The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ [be] with you.
Tika ete ngolu ya Nkolo Yesu ezala na bino!
24 My love [be] with you all in Christ Jesus. Amen.
Bolingo na ngai ezali elongo na bino nyonso kati na Yesu-Klisto. Amen!
