Acts 15
1 And some coming down from Judea, taught the brethren: That except you be circumcised after the manner of Moses, you cannot be saved.
Ndambo ya bato bawutaki na Yuda mpe bakomaki na Antioshe, mpe bakomaki koteya bandeko: — Soki bokatisi ngenga te kolanda Mobeko ya Moyize, bokoki te kozwa lobiko.
2 And when Paul and Barnabas had no small contest with them, they determined that Paul and Barnabas, and certain others of the other side, should go up to the apostles and priests to Jerusalem about this question.
Polo mpe Barnabasi batelemelaki bato wana; bongo kobendana makasi ekotaki kati na bango na tina na likambo yango. Boye, bazwaki mokano ete Polo, Barnabasi mpe ndambo ya bandimi mosusu bakende na Yelusalemi elongo na bantoma mpe bakambi ya Lingomba mpo na kolobela likambo yango.
3 They therefore being brought on their way by the church, passed through Phenice, and Samaria, relating the conversion of the Gentiles; and they caused great joy to all the brethren.
Lingomba esungaki bango mpo na mobembo. Wana bakatisaki Fenisi mpe Samari, bazalaki koloba ndenge nini bato ya bikolo ya bapaya bazalaki kobongola mitema. Sango oyo ezalaki kopesa bandeko nyonso esengo.
4 And when they were come to Jerusalem, they were received by the church, and by the apostles and ancients, declaring how great things God had done with them.
Tango bakomaki na Yelusalemi, Lingomba, bantoma mpe bakambi bayambaki bango; mpe Polo elongo na Barnabasi bapesaki bango sango ya makambo nyonso oyo Nzambe asalaki na nzela na bango.
5 But there arose some of the sect of the Pharisees that believed, saying: They must be circumcised, and be commanded to observe the law of Moses.
Ndambo ya bandimi oyo bazalaki kala Bafarizeo batelemaki mpo na koloba: — Bato ya bikolo ya bapaya basengeli kokatama ngenga, mpe esengeli kotinda bango kotosa Mobeko ya Moyize.
6 And the apostles and ancients assembled to consider of this matter.
Bantoma mpe bakambi basanganaki mpo na koyekola malamu likambo yango.
7 And when there had been much disputing, Peter, rising up, said to them: Men, brethren, you know, that in former days God made choice among us, that by my mouth the Gentiles should hear the word of the gospel, and believe.
Lokola tembe elekaki makasi, Petelo atelemaki mpe alobaki: — Bandeko na ngai, boyebi malamu ete Nzambe apona ngai wuta kala kati na bino mpo ete nakoka koteya Sango Malamu epai ya bato ya bikolo ya bapaya, mpo ete bango mpe bakoka koyoka yango mpe bakoma bandimi.
8 And God, who knoweth the hearts, gave testimony, giving unto them the Holy Ghost, as well as to us;
Bongo, Nzambe oyo ayebi mitema ya bato alakisaki ete andimaki bango na nzela ya kopesa bango Molimo Mosantu, ndenge kaka apesaki biso.
9 And put no difference between us and them, purifying their hearts by faith.
Asalaki bokeseni te kati na biso mpe bango, pamba te akomisaki mitema na bango peto na nzela ya kondima.
10 Now therefore, why tempt you God to put a yoke upon the necks of the disciples, which neither our fathers nor we have been able to bear?
Bongo mpo na nini bolingi sik’oyo komeka Nzambe, na nzela ya koluka komemisa bayekoli oyo, mokumba oyo tolongaki te komema, ezala biso to batata na biso?
11 But by the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, we believe to be saved, in like manner as they also.
Te! Biso tondimaka ete tobiki na ngolu ya Nkolo Yesu, ndenge moko kaka na bango.
12 And all the multitude held their peace; and they heard Barnabas and Paul telling what great signs and wonders God had wrought among the Gentiles by them.
Lisanga mobimba evandaki kimia wana bazalaki koyoka Barnabasi mpe Polo koyebisa bango bikamwa mpe bilembo oyo Nzambe asalaki na nzela na bango, kati na bato ya bikolo ya bapaya.
13 And after they had held their peace, James answered, saying: Men, brethren, hear me.
Tango basilisaki koloba, Jake azwaki maloba mpe alobaki: — Bandeko, boyoka ngai!
14 Simon hath related how God first visited to take of the Gentiles a people to his name.
Simona awuti koyebisa biso ndenge nini, wuta na ebandeli, Nzambe aponaki bato kati na bikolo ya bapaya ete bazala bato na Ye.
15 And to this agree the words of the prophets, as it is written:
Makambo oyo ekokani na maloba ya basakoli, kolanda ndenge ekomama:
16 After these things I will return, and will rebuild the tabernacle of David, which is fallen down; and the ruins thereof I will rebuild, and I will set it up:
« Sima na yango, nakozonga, nakotonga lisusu ndako ya kapo ya Davidi, oyo esila kokweya; nakotonga yango lisusu mpe nakotelemisa yango,
17 That the residue of men may seek after the Lord, and all nations upon whom my name is invoked, saith the Lord, who doth these things.
mpo ete bato oyo bakotikala baluka Nkolo, ezala bato nyonso ya bikolo ya bapaya oyo babengamaka na Kombo na Ngai, elobi Nkolo oyo asalaka makambo oyo,
makambo oyo eyebana wuta kala. » (aiōn g165)
19 For which cause I judge that they, who from among the Gentiles are converted to God, are not to be disquieted.
Yango wana, tala likanisi na ngai: Tosengeli te kotungisa bato ya bikolo ya bapaya oyo bandimeli Nzambe.
20 But that we write unto them, that they refrain themselves from the pollutions of idols, and from fornication, and from things strangled, and from blood.
Na esika ya kotungisa bango, tosengeli kaka kokomela bango ete balia te misuni ya banyama oyo ebonzami lokola mbeka epai ya banzambe mosusu, basala kindumba te, balia te nyama oyo babomi na kozanga kobimisa makila, mpe bamela makila te.
21 For Moses of old time hath in every city them that preach him in the synagogues, where he is read every sabbath.
Pamba te wuta kala, kati na bingumba nyonso, ezali na bato oyo bateyaka Mobeko ya Moyize, mpe batangaka yango kati na bandako ya mayangani, mikolo nyonso ya Saba.
22 Then it pleased the apostles and ancients, with the whole church, to choose men of their own company, and to send to Antioch, with Paul and Barnabas, namely, Judas, who was surnamed Barsabas, and Silas, chief men among the brethren.
Bantoma, bakambi elongo na Lingomba mobimba bazwaki mokano ya kopona ndambo ya bato kati na bango mpe ya kotinda bango na Antioshe elongo na Polo mpe Barnabasi. Baponaki Yuda oyo babengaka Barsabasi, mpe Silasi; bango mibale bazalaki bakambi kati na bandeko.
23 Writing by their hands: The apostles and ancients, brethren, to the brethren of the Gentiles that are at Antioch, and in Syria and Cilicia, greeting.
Bapesaki bango mokanda oyo ekomamaki boye: Biso bantoma mpe bakambi, bandeko na bino: Epai ya bato ya bikolo ya bapaya oyo bavandaka kati na Antioshe, na Siri mpe na Silisi; Mbote na bino.
24 Forasmuch as we have heard, that some going out from us have troubled you with words, subverting your souls; to whom we gave no commandment:
Toyokaki ete bandeko mosusu bawutaki epai na biso, ba-oyo topesaki ata nzela te, bayaki kotia mobulu kati na bino, batiaki penza mobulu kati na bino mpe batungisaki mitema na bino na nzela ya maloba na bango. Nzokande, totindaki bango te.
25 It hath seemed good to us, being assembled together, to choose out men, and to send them unto you, with our well beloved Barnabas and Paul:
Boye, biso nyonso toyokanaki mpo na kopona bato mpe kotindela bino bango, elongo na bandeko balingami na biso, Barnabasi mpe Polo,
26 Men that have given their lives for the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.
ba-oyo bakaba bomoi na bango mpo na Kombo na Yesu-Klisto, Nkolo na biso.
27 We have sent therefore Judas and Silas, who themselves also will, by word of mouth, tell you the same things.
Yango wana, totindeli bino Yuda mpe Silasi mpo ete bakoka koyebisa bino makambo oyo tokomi kati na mokanda oyo.
28 For it hath seemed good to the Holy Ghost and to us, to lay no further burden upon you than these necessary things:
Molimo Mosantu mpe biso tomoni malamu ete tomemisa bino mikumba mosusu te, longola kaka bikateli oyo:
29 That you abstain from things sacrificed to idols, and from blood, and from things strangled, and from fornication; from which things keeping yourselves, you shall do well. Fare ye well.
Bolia te misuni ya banyama oyo ebonzami lokola mbeka epai ya banzambe mosusu, bomela makila te, bolia te nyama oyo babomi na kozanga kobimisa makila, mpe bosala kindumba te. Ekozala malamu soki bokimi makambo yango. Botikala malamu!
30 They therefore being dismissed, went down to Antioch; and gathering together the multitude, delivered the epistle.
Boye, batikaki bango kokende na Antioshe epai wapi basangisaki Lingomba mobimba mpe bapesaki mokanda yango.
31 Which when they had read, they rejoiced for the consolation.
Bato batangaki mokanda yango mpe basepelaki mingi na malendisi oyo ezalaki kati na yango.
32 But Judas and Silas, being prophets also themselves, with many words comforted the brethren, and confirmed them.
Lokola Yuda mpe Silasi bazalaki basakoli, bazwaki penza tango molayi mpo na koloba na bandeko mpe kolendisa bango ete bayika mpiko kati na kondima.
33 And after they had spent some time there, they were let go with peace by the brethren, unto them that had sent them.
Bawumelaki wana mwa tango, mpe bandeko batombelaki bango kimia mpo na bozongi epai ya bato oyo batindaki bango. [
34 But it seemed good unto Silas to remain there; and Judas alone departed to Jerusalem.
Kasi Silasi asepelaki kotikala wana.]
35 And Paul and Barnabas continued at Antioch, teaching and preaching, with many others, the word of the Lord.
Polo mpe Barnabasi batikalaki na Antioshe epai wapi, elongo na bato mosusu ebele, bazalaki koteya mpe kosakola Liloba na Nkolo.
36 And after some days, Paul said to Barnabas: Let us return and visit our brethren in all the cities wherein we have preached the word of the Lord, to see how they do.
Sima na mwa mikolo, Polo alobaki na Barnabasi: — Tozonga na bingumba nyonso epai wapi toteyaki Liloba na Nkolo, mpo ete totala bandeko mpo na koyeba soki bazali ndenge nini.
37 And Barnabas would have taken with them John also, that was surnamed Mark;
Barnabasi azalaki na posa ya komema, elongo na bango, Yoane oyo babengaka mpe Malako;
38 But Paul desired that he (as having departed from them out of Pamphylia, and not gone with them to the work) might not be received.
kasi Polo asepelaki te ete bamema ye elongo na bango, pamba te akabwanaki na bango na Pafili mpe akobaki lisusu te elongo na bango kati na mosala.
39 And there arose a dissension, so that they departed one from another; and Barnabas indeed taking Mark, sailed to Cyprus.
Boye, babendanaki makasi penza mpe basukaki na kokabwana. Barnabasi azwaki Malako mpe akotaki elongo na ye kati na masuwa mpo na kokende na Shipre.
40 But Paul choosing Silas, departed, being delivered by the brethren to the grace of God.
Kasi Polo azwaki Silasi mpe akendeki elongo na ye, sima na bandeko kotika bango na se ya ngolu ya Nkolo.
41 And he went through Syria and Cilicia, confirming the churches, commanding them to keep the precepts of the apostles and the ancients.
Atambolaki kati na Siri mpe na Silisi mpo na kolendisa Mangomba.
