Acts 13
1 Now there were in the church which was at Antioch, prophets and doctors, among whom was Barnabas, and Simon who was called Niger, and Lucius of Cyrene, and Manahen, who was the foster brother of Herod the tetrarch, and Saul.
Mu dibundu di Antioshi muba mimbikudi ayi minlongi mi Mina; muna muba Balinabasi, Simewoni mutu baba ntedilanga “Ningeli” bu dinsundula: “Ndombi”, Lusuisi muisi Silene, Manayeni mutu wuyunduka va kimosi ayi ntinu Elode ayi Sawuli.
2 And as they were ministering to the Lord, and fasting, the Holy Ghost said to them: Separate me Saul and Barnabas, for the work whereunto I have taken them.
Bu baba sadila Pfumu ayi kukifuisa nzala mu diambu di lusambulu, Pheve Yinlongo yituba: —Luphengumunina Balinabasi ayi Sawuli mu diambu di kisalu kioki ndiba tedila!
3 Then they, fasting and praying, and imposing their hands upon them, sent them away.
Diawu bu bamana kukifuisa nzala mu diambu di lusambulu ayi bu bamana sambila, baba tetika mioko ayi baba bika benda.
4 So they being sent by the Holy Ghost, went to Seleucia: and from thence they sailed to Cyprus.
Mu lutumunu lu Pheve Yinlongo, Balinabasi ayi Sawuli bayenda ku Selesi. Kuna babakila masuwa mu kuenda ku Sipeli.
5 And when they were come to Salamina, they preached the word of God in the synagogues of the Jews. And they had John also in the ministry.
Bu batula ku Salamine, balonga mambu ma Nzambi mu zinzo zi zikhutukunu zi Bayuda. Yowani wuba kuba sadisanga.
6 And when they had gone through the whole island, as far as Paphos, they found a certain man, a magician, a false prophet, a Jew, whose name was Bar-jesu:
Bu basabuka sanga kioso nate ku Pafosi, badengana Nyuda wumosi wuba nsadilanga mazi, dizina diandi Bali-Yesu, wuba mbikudi wu luvunu.
7 Who was with the proconsul Sergius Paulus, a prudent man. He sending for Barnabas and Saul, desired to hear the word of God.
Bali-Yesu wuba vuandanga va kimosi ayi Selingiusi Pawulusi, nyadi wu sanga, wuba mutu wu diela. Niandi wutumisa Balinabasi ayi Sawuli bila wuzola wa mambu ma Nzambi.
8 But Elymas the magician (for so his name is interpreted) withstood them, seeking to turn away the proconsul from the faith.
Vayi Elimasi nkua mazi (yawu tsundu yi dizina diandi), wuba kakidila ayi wutomba bu zimbikisa minu ki Nyadi.
9 Then Saul, otherwise Paul, filled with the Holy Ghost, looking upon him,
Bosi Sawuli baba tedilanga diaka Polo bu kaba wuwala mu Pheve Yinlongo, wusungimina tala nkua mazi bosi wunkamba:
10 Said: O full of all guile, and of all deceit, child of the devil, enemy of all justice, thou ceasest not to pervert the right ways of the Lord.
—A ngeyo mutu wuwala luvunu ayi mutu wu mambu mambimbi, muana wu Satana mbeni yi mambu masonga, wulendi vonga ko mu vondanga zinzila zilulama zi Pfumu e?
11 And now behold, the hand of the Lord is upon thee, and thou shalt be blind, not seeing the sun for a time. And immediately there fell a mist and darkness upon him, and going about, he sought some one to lead him by the hand.
Vayi tala buabu koko ku Nzambi kueka kuvana thumbudulu; weka kituka phofo; wulendi buela mona ko muini mu ndambu bilumbu! Vana vawu weka mona mbungi ayi tombi mu meso, wubaluka mu zindambu zioso, wutomba mutu wulenda kunsimba mu koko mu kuntuadisa.
12 Then the proconsul, when he had seen what was done, believed, admiring at the doctrine of the Lord.
Nyadi beni buna kamona mambu mama mavioka, wuwilukila bilawusimina mu diambu di malongi ma Pfumu.
13 Now when Paul and they that were with him had sailed from Paphos, they came to Perge in Pamphylia. And John departing from them, returned to Jerusalem.
Polo ayi bakundi bandi boso bakota mu masuwa ku Pafosi, bayenda ku Pelinge mu zunga ki Pamfili. Yowani wuvasuka yawu, wuvutuka kuandi ku Yelusalemi.
14 But they passing through Perge, came to Antioch in Pisidia: and entering into the synagogue on the sabbath day, they sat down.
Vayi bawu bu babotuka ku Pelinge, basabuka tsi ayi batula ku Antioshi mu zunga ki Pisidi. Mu lumbu ki saba, bu bakota mu nzo lukutukunu, buna bavuanda.
15 And after the reading of the law and the prophets, the rulers of the synagogue sent to them, saying: Ye men, brethren, if you have any word of exhortation to make to the people, speak.
Buna bamana tanga minkanda mi Mina ayi mi mimbikudi, bapfumu zi nzo lukutukunu baba fidisila batu mu kuba kamba: —A bakhomba, enati mambu malenda kindisa batu madi yeno, buna lulenda tuba!
16 Then Paul rising up, and with his hand bespeaking silence, said: Ye men of Israel, and you that fear God, give ear.
Polo bu katelama, wuvumbula koko kuandi ayi wutuba: —A basi Iseli ayi beno boso lueti kinzika Nzambi, bika luwa:
17 The God of the people of Israel chose our fathers, and exalted the people when they were sojourners in the land of Egypt, and with an high arm brought them out from thence,
Nzambi yi batu baba ba Iseli wusobula bakulu beto, wufunisa batu bu baba vuandanga mu tsi yi Ezipite ayi wuba totula mu koko kuandi ku lulendo.
18 And for the space of forty years endured their manners in the desert.
Wuba sadisa mu makumaya ma mimvu mu dikanga.
19 And destroying seven nations in the land of Chanaan, divided their land among them, by lot,
Bu kamana vonda tsambudi di makanda mu tsi Kana, wuba vana mawu banga kiuka.
20 As it were, after four hundred and fifty years: and after these things, he gave unto them judges, until Samuel the prophet.
Mambu momo bu mavioka, nate nduka-nduka zikhama ziya ayi makumatanu ma mimvu, wuba vana mazuzi nate mu thangu mbikudi Samueli.
21 And after that they desired a king: and God gave them Saul the son of Cis, a man of the tribe of Benjamin, forty years.
Bosi balomba ntinu; buna Nzambi wuba vana Sawuli muana Kisi, muisi dikanda di Benyamini; niandi wuba yadila mu makumaya ma mimvu.
22 And when he had removed him, he raised them up David to be king: to whom giving testimony, he said: I have found David, the son of Jesse, a man according to my own heart, who shall do all my wills.
Vayi Nzambi wumvengumuna, wuba totudila Davidi mu ba ntinu, niandi Nzambi katelimina kimbangi kiaki: Ndimueni mu Davidi, muana Yese, mutu wudedakani banga ntimꞌama, wela vanga luzolo luama loso.
23 Of this man’s seed God according to his promise, hath raised up to Israel a Saviour, Jesus:
Vayi mu nkuna Davidi Nzambi katotudila Yesu, Mvulusi mu diambu Iseli bila bobo bubela tsilꞌandi.
24 John first preaching, before his coming, the baptism of penance to all the people of Israel.
Tuamina ndizulu andi, Yowani wulonga batu boso malongi matedi mbotokolo bu bameni balula mavanga mawu.
25 And when John was fulfilling his course, he said: I am not he, whom you think me to be: but behold, there cometh one after me, whose shoes of his feet I am not worthy to loose.
Ku tsukusunu luzingu luandi, Yowani wuba yuvula: “Kuidi beno minu ndidi nani e? Minu ama ko mutu wowo lulembo vingila vayi niandi wela kuiza ku mbusꞌama. Minu ndisi fuana ko mu nianguna minsinga mi zisapatu ziandi.”
26 Men, brethren, children of the stock of Abraham, and whosoever among you fear God, to you the word of this salvation is sent.
A bakhomba ziama, beno luidi mu nkuna Abalahami, kuidi beno ayi kuidi bobobeti kinzika Nzambi, luzaba ti kuidi beto kuyiza mambu mama ma phulusu.
27 For they that inhabited Jerusalem, and the rulers thereof, not knowing him, nor the voices of the prophets, which are read every sabbath, judging him have fulfilled them.
Bila batu bakalanga ku Yelusalemi ayi bapfumu ziawu basia zaba Yesu ko, ayi basia sudika ko minkanda mi mimbikudi miba tangungu kadika lumbu ki saba. Badedikisa mambu beni bu bazengila Yesu nkanu.
28 And finding no cause of death in him, they desired of Pilate, that they might kill him.
Ka diambu ko basia mona ko mu niandi kadi bila kikalenda vondolo vayi baleba Pilatu mu diambu kamvondisa.
29 And when they had fulfilled all things that were written of him, taking him down from the tree, they laid him in a sepulchre.
Bu bamana dukisa mambu moso masonama mu diambu diandi, bankulula va nti ayi bantula mu ziami.
30 But God raised him up from the dead the third day:
Vayi Nzambi wumfulukisa mu bafua!
31 Who was seen for many days, by them who came up with him from Galilee to Jerusalem, who to this present are his witnesses to the people.
Bosi wukimonikisa mu bilumbu biwombo kuidi batu bobo bayenda yandi tona ku Ngalili nate ku Yelusalemi. Buabu batu beni bawu bayika bambangi bandi va meso ma batu.
32 And we declare unto you, that the promise which was made to our fathers,
Beto, tulembo lusamunina Nsamu wumboti landila tsilayivana Nzambi kuidi bakulu beto
33 This same God hath fulfilled to our children, raising up Jesus, as in the second psalm also is written: Thou art my Son, this day have I begotten thee.
ti Nzambi wudedikisidi yawu kuidi beto bana bawu bu katotula banga busonimina mu Nkunga wummuadi: Widi Muanꞌama, buabu ndibutidi.
34 And to shew that he raised him up from the dead, not to return now any more to corruption, he said thus: I will give you the holy things of David faithful.
Muaki wumfulukisa mu bafua muingi kabika buela fua. Diawu katubila ti: Ndiela kulusakumuna mu mambu manlongo, mavedila momo ndivanina Davidi tsila.
35 And therefore, in another place also, he saith: Thou shalt not suffer thy holy one to see corruption.
Diawu katubila mu buangu kinkaka: Wulendi tala ko ti nitu yi mutu aku wunlongo yibola.
36 For David, when he had served in his generation, according to the will of God, slept: and was laid unto his fathers, and saw corruption.
Bila Davidi, bu kamana sala mu tsungi andi mu luzolo lu Nzambi, wufua ayi wuziku va buangu kimosi ayi bakulu bandi, bosi wubola.
37 But he whom God hath raised from the dead, saw no corruption.
Vayi mutu wowo Nzambi kafulukisa, kasia bola ko.
38 Be it known therefore to you, men, brethren, that through him forgiveness of sins is preached to you: and from all the things, from which you could not be justified by the law of Moses.
A bakhomba; bika luzaba ti mu niandi muyizila ndemvokolo yi masumu.
39 In him every one that believeth, is justified.
Ayi mu niandi, woso mutu wukunwilukila, wela kunnungisa mu mambu moso momo Mina mi Moyize milendi baka ko bu kulunungisila.
40 Beware, therefore, lest that come upon you which is spoken in the prophets:
Diawu, lulubuka muingi mambu matuba mimbikudi mabika kulubuila:
41 Behold, ye despisers, and wonder, and perish: for I work a work in your days, a work which you will not believe, if any man shall tell it you.
Lutala beno lueti vueza Nzambi, lusimina ayi lubotuka! bila minu ndieka vanga diambu mu bilumbu bieno, luisi ba wilukila diambu beni ko enati mutu wulusamunini diawu.
42 And as they went out, they desired them, that on the next sabbath, they would speak unto them these words.
Bu batotuka ku nganda, baleba Polo ayi Balinabasi mu diambu di biza longi diaka mambu beni mu lumbu ki saba kinkuiza.
43 And when the synagogue was broken up, many of the Jews, and of the strangers who served God, followed Paul and Barnabas: who speaking to them, persuaded them to continue in the grace of God.
Lukutukunu bu lumanisa mu nzo lukutukunu; Bayuda bawombo ayi basi makanda mankaka baba sadilanga Nzambi, bobo bakikinina Kiyuda, balandakana Polo ayi Balinabasi; basolula yawu ayi baba kindisa mu tatamana mu nlemvo wu Nzambi.
44 But the next sabbath day, the whole city almost came together, to hear the word of God.
Mu lumbu ki saba kilanda, nduka-nduka divula dioso dikutakana mu wa mambu ma Nzambi.
45 And the Jews seeing the multitudes, were filled with envy, and contradicted those things which were said by Paul, blaspheming.
Vayi Bayuda bu bamona nkangu wu batu, bamona kikhenene ayi bavunisa Polo mu mambu momo kaba tuba, bamvunisa ayi bavueza Nzambi.
46 Then Paul and Barnabas said boldly: To you it behoved us first to speak the word of God: but because you reject it, and judge yourselves unworthy of eternal life, behold we turn to the Gentiles. (aiōnios g166)
Polo ayi Balinabasi babakamba mu bukhafi boso ti: —Kuidi beno theti kufueti samununu Mambu ma Nzambi vayi sumbu lu malozidi ayi sumbu lukimonisini ti luisi bafuana ko mu baka luzingu lukalumani, tala tueka mbaluka kuidi Bapakanu. (aiōnios g166)
47 For so the Lord hath commanded us: I have set thee to be the light of the Gentiles; that thou mayest be for salvation unto the utmost part of the earth.
Bila Pfumu wutuvana lutumunu ti: Ndibieka mu ba kiezila kuidi Bapakanu mu diambu di nata phulusu nate ku sukisina ntoto.
48 And the Gentiles hearing it, were glad, and glorified the word of the Lord: and as many as were ordained to life everlasting, believed. (aiōnios g166)
Bapakanu bu bawa mambu mama, bamona khini. Baniemisa mambu ma Nzambi ayi bobo bakubuku mu baka luzingu lukalumani bawilukila. (aiōnios g166)
49 And the word of the Lord was published throughout the whole country.
Mambu ma Pfumu ma tembakana mu tsi yoso.
50 But the Jews stirred up religious and honourable women, and the chief men of the city, and raised persecution against Paul and Barnabas: and cast them out of their coasts.
Vayi Bayuda bakambisila baketo bobo baba luvalu, baba sadilanga Nzambi va kimosi ayi batu ba luvalu ba divula beni; batona yamisa Polo ayi Balinabasi ayi baba kuka mu zunga kiawu.
51 But they, shaking off the dust of their feet against them, came to Iconium.
Polo ayi Balinabasi bakukumuna mbungi-mbungi yiba mu malu mawu, bayenda ku Ikonuimi.
52 And the disciples were filled with joy and with the Holy Ghost.
Muaki minlonguki miba miwala mu khini ayi mu Pheve Yinlongo.
