Acts 16
1 And he came to Derbe and Lystra: and behold, a certain disciple was there, by name Timotheus, son of a Jewish believing woman, but [the] father a Greek,
Polo wutula ku Delibe ayi ku Lisitele. Kuna kuba nlonguki wumosi, dizina diandi Timote; ngudi andi wuba Nyuda wutambula phulusu vayi dise diandi diba muisi Ngelese.
2 who had a [good] testimony of the brethren in Lystra and Iconium.
Bakhomba baba ku Lisitele ayi ku Ikoniumi zitelimina Timote kimbangi kimboti.
3 Him would Paul have go forth with him, and took [him and] circumcised him on account of the Jews who were in those places, for they all knew his father that he was a Greek.
Polo wuzola ti Timote kenda yandi. Bu kambonga, buna wunzengisa nitu yi kibakala mu diambu di Bayuda bobo baba mu bibuangu bina bila batu boso bazaba ti dise diandi wuba muisi Ngelese.
4 And as they passed through the cities they instructed them to observe the decrees determined on by the apostles and elders who were in Jerusalem.
Mu mavula moso baviokila, basamuna mambu mazenga bamvuala ayi bakulutu ba Yeluzalemi ayi baba lomba batumimina mambu beni.
5 The assemblies therefore were confirmed in the faith, and increased in number every day.
Mabundu maba makinda mu minu ayi ntalu yi batu yibuelama lumbu ka lumbu.
6 And having passed through Phrygia and the Galatian country, having been forbidden by the Holy Spirit to speak the word in Asia,
Bosi basabuka Filingi ayi tsi yi Ngalatiya bila Pheve Yinlongo wuba kandika babika longa mambu ma Nzambi ku Azi.
7 having come down to Mysia, they attempted to go to Bithynia, and the Spirit of Jesus did not allow them;
Bu batula ku ndilu yi tsi yi Misi, bazola kuenda ku Bitini vayi Pheve yi Yesu yisia kuba vana minsua ko.
8 and having passed by Mysia they descended to Troas.
Vayi bu baviokila ku Misi, bayenda ku Tolowasi.
9 And a vision appeared to Paul in the night: There was a certain Macedonian man, standing and beseeching him, and saying, Pass over into Macedonia and help us.
Va builu, Polo wumona tsongolo. Wumona muisi Maseduani wuntelimina va ntuala ayi wunleba: —A Tata, lemvuka! Yiza ku Maseduani mu kutusadisa!
10 And when he had seen the vision, immediately we sought to go forth to Macedonia, concluding that the Lord had called us to announce to them the glad tidings.
Tsongolo yoyi bu yivioka, tutomba nzila mu kuenda ku Maseduani bila tumona ti niandi veka Nzambi wututela mu kuenda longi kuna Nsamu wumboti.
11 Having sailed therefore away from Troas, we went in a straight course to Samothracia, and on the morrow to Neapolis,
Tukota mu masuwa ku Tolowasi bosi tuyenda ku sanga ki Samotalasi. Mu lumbu kilanda, tutula ku Neyapolisi.
12 and thence to Philippi, which is [the] first city of that part of Macedonia, a colony. And we were staying in that city certain days.
Bosi tuyenda ku Filipi, divula dimosi dinneni di Maseduani diba mu mioko mi luyalu lu basi Loma. Bilumbu biwombo tukadila kuna.
13 And on the sabbath day we went outside the gate by the river, where it was the custom for prayer to be, and we sat down and spoke to the women who had assembled.
Mu lumbu ki saba, bu tutotuka ku divula, tuyenda ku muenda nlangu wuba ku difula di buala bila kuawu tubanzila kuidi buangu ki lusambulu. Tuvuanda ayi tusolula ayi baketo bobo bayiza kutakana.
14 And a certain woman, by name Lydia, a seller of purple, of the city of Thyatira, who worshipped God, heard; whose heart the Lord opened to attend to the things spoken by Paul.
Nketo wumosi, mu bobo baba nwa, dizina diandi Lidi, wuba muisi Tiatile; minledi mimbuaki kaba nsumbisanga. Wuba kinzikanga Nzambi. Pfumu wuzibula ntimꞌandi muingi kawa bumboti mambu ma Nzambi malonga Polo.
15 And when she had been baptised and her house, she besought [us], saying, If ye have judged me to be faithful to the Lord, come into my house and abide [there]. And she constrained us.
Bu kabotama va kimosi ayi nzoꞌandi, wutuleba bu katukamba: —Enati lumueni ti ndidi wukuikama mu Pfumu buna luiza lukota ku nzoꞌama ayi luvuanda kuna. Buna wutuleba ngolo.
16 And it came to pass as we were going to prayer that a certain female slave, having a spirit of Python, met us, who brought much profit to her masters by prophesying.
Lumbu kimosi bu tuba kuenda ku sambila. Tudengana mvika wumosi wu nketo wuba ayi pheve yimbimbi, yoyi kaba bikudilangamambu. Zimbikudulu ziandi zivana bapfumu bandi zimbongo ziwombo.
17 She, having followed Paul and us, cried saying, These men are bondmen of the Most High God, who announce to you [the] way of salvation.
Mvika beni wu nketo, wutulandakana ayi wuyamikina: —“Tala; batu baba badi bisadi bi Nzambi yi zangama, bawu balembo lulongi nzila yi phulusu.”
18 And this she did many days. And Paul, being distressed, turned, and said to the spirit, I enjoin thee in the name of Jesus Christ to come out of her. And it came out the same hour.
Bilumbu biwombo kavangila buawu. Polo wumona kiadi mu tezo kiviokakana, wutala ku mbusa bosi wukamba pheve yimbimbi: —Mu dizina di Yesu Klisto, ndikutuma totuka mu ndumba yayi! Pheve yimbimbi yitotuka muna thangu yina.
19 And her masters, seeing that the hope of their gains was gone, having seized Paul and Silas, dragged [them] into the market before the magistrates;
Bapfumu zi mvika beni wu nketo bu zimona ti diana di buela bakila zimbongo dimana, buna zikanga Polo ayi Sila, babakoka va buangu ki batu bawombo ayi va ntuala mazuzi.
20 and having brought them up to the praetors, said, These men utterly trouble our city, being Jews,
Baba funda kuidi bapfumu zi ntiliminadu ayi batuba: —Batu baba badi Bayuda, balembo tudi divunzi mu divula dieto.
21 and announce customs which it is not lawful for us to receive nor practise, being Romans.
Balembo longi khadulu yoyi beto basi Loma tulendi kikinina ko ayi tulendi sadila ko.
22 And the crowd rose up too against them; and the praetors, having torn off their clothes, commanded to scourge [them].
Nkangu wu batu wufuemina Polo ayi Sila. Buna bapfumuzi ntiliminadu zituma babavula minledi ayi bababeta bikoti.
23 And having laid many stripes upon them they cast [them] into prison, charging the jailor to keep them safely;
Bu babetolo ngolo, bosi baba kotisa mu nloko ayi bavana lutumunu kuidi nsungi wu nloko kaba sunga bumboti.
24 who, having received such a charge, cast them into the inner prison, and secured their feet to the stocks.
Nsungi bu katambula lutumunu lolo, buna wuba tula mu vinga ki khati kidi muna khati nloko. Bosi wukangikisa malu mawu mu bitini bi makunzi ma mabaya.
25 And at midnight Paul and Silas, in praying, were praising God with singing, and the prisoners listened to them.
Nduka-nduka midi miphipa, Polo ayi Sila basambila ayi bayimbidila Nzambi, bobo bankaka baba mu nloko ba bawa.
26 And suddenly there was a great earthquake, so that the foundations of the prison shook, and all the doors were immediately opened, and the bonds of all loosed.
Buela zimbukila ntoto weka nikuka ngolo nate zifondasio zi nloko zinikuka, mielo mioso mi nloko mimana zibuka; zisieni zioso zi batu baba mu nloko zitabuka.
27 And the jailor being awakened out of his sleep, and seeing the doors of the prison opened, having drawn a sword was going to kill himself, thinking the prisoners had fled.
Nsungi wu nloko wukotuka ayi bu kamona ti mielo mioso mimana zibuka; wutotula sabala kiandi ayi wuzola kukivonda bila kabanzilati batu ba nloko batina.
28 But Paul called out with a loud voice, saying, Do thyself no harm, for we are all here.
Vayi Polo wuyamikina mu mbembo yingolo: —Bika kukivanga mbimbi, bila beto boso tuidi vava!
29 And having asked for lights, he rushed in, and, trembling, fell down before Paul and Silas.
Nsungi wu nloko wulomba muinda, wukota muna khati nloko, wufukama va ntuala Polo ayi Sila mu lukhuku.
30 And leading them out said, Sirs, what must I do that I may be saved?
Wuba totula ku nganda ayi wuba yuvula: —A bamueni, mbi phanga muingi ndivuka e?
31 And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus and thou shalt be saved, thou and thy house.
Bamvutudila: —Wilukila Pfumu Yesu, buna mawu vuka ngeyo ayi nzo aku!
32 And they spoke to him the word of the Lord, with all that were in his house.
Banlonga mambu ma Pfumu ayi batu boso baba mu nzoꞌandi.
33 And he took them the same hour of the night and washed [them] from their stripes; and was baptised, he and all his straightway.
Muna builu, muna thangu beni, nsungi wu nloko wusukula ziphuta ziawu. Niandi wubotama va kimosi ayi nzo andi yoso.
34 And having brought them into his house he laid the table [for them], and rejoiced with all his house, having believed in God.
Wunata Polo ayi Sila ku nzoꞌandi, wuba vana bidia. Nzo andi yoso yimonakhini mu diambu bawilukila Nzambi.
35 And when it was day, the praetors sent the lictors, saying, Let those men go.
Va nsuka, bapfumu zituma batu muingi bakamba nsungi wu nloko: —Yekula batu beni!
36 And the jailor reported these words to Paul: The praetors have sent that ye may be let go. Now therefore go out and depart in peace.
Bosi nsungi wu nloko wukamba buawu kuidi Polo ti: —Bapfumu zitumini batu muingi ndiluyekula. Totukeno ayi yendanomu ndembama!
37 But Paul said to them, Having beaten us publicly uncondemned, us who are Romans, they have cast us into prison, and now they thrust us out secretly? no, indeed, but let them come themselves and bring us out.
Vayi Polo wuvutula: —Nana, beto tuidi basi Loma; basi kutusambisa ko; batubetisidi bikotiva meso ma batu; batukotisidi mu nloko. Vayi buabu batidi ku tuyekula mu kinsueki e! Nana! Biza tutotula bawu veka!
38 And the lictors reported these words to the praetors. And they were afraid when they heard they were Romans.
Batu bana bayenda kamba nsamu beni kuidi bapfumu. Bosi bapfumu zimonaboma bu ziwa ti Polo ayi Sila badi basi Loma.
39 And they came and besought them, and having brought them out, asked them to go out of the city.
Bayenda kuna nloko, baleba Polo ayi Sila; babatotula ayi babalombababotuka mu divula dina.
40 And having gone out of the prison, they came to Lydia; and having seen the brethren, they exhorted them and went away.
Polo ayi Sila bu batotuka mu nloko, bayenda ku nzo Lidi. Kunabamona bakhomba ayi babakindisa. Bosi bayenda kuawu.
