Acts 21
1 And when it came to pass that, being parted from them, we set sail, we came with a straight course to Coos, and the day following to Rhodes, and from thence to Patara.
Sima na biso kokabwana na bango, tokotaki na masuwa mpe tokendeki kino na esanga ya Kosi; bongo mokolo oyo elandaki, tokendeki na Roda mpe, longwa wana, tokomaki na Patara.
2 And when we had found a ship sailing over to Phenice, we went aboard, and set forth.
Kuna, tomonaki masuwa moko oyo ezalaki kokende na Fenisi; tomataki kati na yango mpe tokendeki.
3 And when we had discovered Cyprus, leaving it on the left hand, we sailed into Syria, and came to Tyre: for there the ship was to unlade her burden.
Tango tomonaki esanga ya Shipre, totikaki yango na ngambo ya loboko ya mwasi mpe tokobaki mobembo na biso na mopanzi ya Siri. Totelemaki na Tiri epai wapi masuwa esengelaki kokitisa biloko oyo ememaki.
4 And finding disciples, we tarried there seven days: who said to Paul through the Spirit, that he should not go up to Jerusalem.
Lokola tokutaki bayekoli kuna, tovandaki elongo na bango mikolo sambo. Nzokande Molimo asololaki na Bayekoli, mpe balobaki na Polo ete akende na Yelusalemi te.
5 And the days being expired, departing we went forward, they all bringing us on our way, with their wives and children, till we were out of the city: and we kneeled down on the shore, and we prayed.
Atako bongo, tango mikolo na biso ekokaki, tolongwaki wana mpe tokobaki mobembo na biso. Bayekoli nyonso elongo na basi na bango mpe bana na bango bakendeki kotika biso kino na libanda ya engumba. Tango tokomaki na libongo, tofukamaki mpo na kosambela.
6 And when we had bid one another farewell, we took ship; and they returned home.
Sima na kopesana mbote ya suka, tomataki na masuwa, mpe bango bazongaki na bandako na bango.
7 But we having finished the voyage by sea, from Tyre came down to Ptolemais: and saluting the brethren, we abode one day with them.
Tosukisaki mobembo na biso ya mayi, kolongwa na Tiri kino na Pitolemayisi epai wapi topesaki bandeko mbote mpe tovandaki elongo na bango mokolo moko.
8 And the next day departing, we came to Caesarea. And entering into the house of Philip the evangelist, who was one of the seven, we abode with him.
Mokolo oyo elandaki, tokendeki na Sezarea mpe tovandaki na ndako ya Filipo, mopanzi Sango Malamu. Azalaki moko kati na bato sambo oyo Lingomba eponaki.
9 And he had four daughters, virgins, who did prophesy.
Azalaki na bana basi minei oyo bayebaki nanu nzoto ya mibali te, mpe bazalaki na likabo ya kosakola.
10 And as we tarried there for some days, there came from Judea a certain prophet, named Agabus.
Lokola tovandaki wana mikolo ebele, mosakoli moko, kombo na ye ezalaki Agabisi, awutaki na Yuda
11 Who, when he was come to us, took Paul’s girdle: and binding his own feet and hands, he said: Thus saith the Holy Ghost: The man whose girdle this is, the Jews shall bind in this manner in Jerusalem, and shall deliver him into the hands of the Gentiles.
mpe ayaki kokutana na biso; azwaki mokaba ya Polo mpe amikangaki na yango makolo mpe maboko. Alobaki: — Tala makambo oyo Molimo Mosantu alobi: « Ezali na lolenge oyo nde Bayuda ya Yelusalemi bakokanga nkolo mokaba oyo, mpe bakokaba ye na maboko ya bato ya bikolo ya bapaya. »
12 Which when we had heard, both we and they that were of that place, desired him that he would not go up to Jerusalem.
Tango toyokaki maloba wana, biso mpe bandimi ya Sezarea tobondelaki Polo ete akende na Yelusalemi te.
13 Then Paul answered, and said: What do you mean weeping and afflicting my heart? For I am ready not only to be bound, but to die also in Jerusalem, for the name of the Lord Jesus.
Kasi Polo azongiselaki biso: — Mpo na nini bozali kolela mpe kolembisa ngai? Nasili komibongisa kaka te mpo na kokangama, kasi mpe mpo na kokufa kati na Yelusalemi mpo na Kombo ya Nkolo Yesu.
14 And when we could not persuade him, we ceased, saying: The will of the Lord be done.
Lokola tolongaki te kobongola makanisi na ye, totikaki kobondela ye mpe tolobaki: — Tika ete mokano ya Nkolo esalema!
15 And after those days, being prepared, we went up to Jerusalem.
Sima na biso kolekisa mikolo wana na Sezarea, tobongisaki biloko na biso mpe tokendeki na Yelusalemi.
16 And there went also with us some of the disciples from Caesarea, bringing with them one Mnason a Cyprian, an old disciple, with whom we should lodge.
Bayekoli mosusu ya Sezarea bakendeki kotika biso; bamemaki biso na ndako ya Minaso, epai wapi tovandaki. Azalaki moto ya Shipre, mpe akomaki moyekoli wuta kala.
17 And when we were come to Jerusalem, the brethren received us gladly.
Tango tokomaki na Yelusalemi, bandeko bayambaki biso na esengo.
18 And the day following, Paul went in with us unto James; and all the ancients were assembled.
Mokolo oyo elandaki, Polo amemaki biso epai ya Jake, mpe bakambi nyonso ya Lingomba bayaki kuna.
19 Whom when he had saluted, he related particularly what things God had wrought among the Gentiles by his ministry.
Sima na ye kopesa bango mbote, Polo akomaki koyebisa bango likambo moko na moko, oyo Nzambe asalaki kati na bato ya bikolo ya bapaya, na nzela ya lotomo na ye.
20 But they hearing it, glorified God, and said to him: Thou seest, brother, how many thousands there are among the Jews that have believed: and they are all zealous for the law.
Sima na bango koyoka ye, bakumisaki Nzambe. Bongo balobaki na Polo: — Ndeko, ozali komona motango ya bankoto ya Bayuda oyo bakomi bandimi, mpe bango nyonso bazali na bolingo makasi mpo na Mobeko ya Moyize.
21 Now they have heard of thee that thou teachest those Jews, who are among the Gentiles, to depart from Moses: saying, that they ought not to circumcise their children, nor walk according to the custom.
Nzokande, bayokaki sango ete oteyaka na Bayuda nyonso oyo bavandaka kati na bato ya bikolo ya bapaya ete batosa te Mobeko ya Moyize, mpe ete olobaka na bango ete bakata lisusu te ngenga ya bana na bango mpe batika kosalela bokoko ya Bayuda.
22 What is it therefore? the multitude must needs come together: for they will hear that thou art come.
Boye tosala nini? Pamba te bakoyoka kaka ete okomi awa.
23 Do therefore this that we say to thee. We have four men, who have a vow on them.
Sala makambo oyo tokoyebisa yo: Tozali awa na mibali minei oyo balapa ndayi.
24 Take these, and sanctify thyself with them: and bestow on them, that they may shave their heads: and all will know that the things which they have heard of thee, are false; but that thou thyself also walkest keeping the law.
Zwa bango, mipetola elongo na bango mpe futela bango mbongo mpo ete bakatisa suki. Na bongo, bato nyonso bakoyeba ete sango oyo bazali koyoka na tina na yo ezali ya lokuta, mpe bakososola ete yo moko mpe otosaka Mobeko.
25 But as touching the Gentiles that believe, we have written, decreeing that they should only refrain themselves from that which has been offered to idols, and from blood, and from things strangles, and from fornication.
Mpo na bato ya bikolo ya bapaya oyo bakomi bandimi, tokomeli bango mikano na biso ete basengeli te kolia misuni ya banyama oyo ebonzami lokola mbeka epai ya banzambe mosusu, basengeli te komela makila, basengeli te kolia nyama oyo babomi na kozanga kobimisa makila, basengeli te kosala kindumba ya lolenge nyonso.
26 Then Paul took the men, and the next day being purified with them, entered into the temple, giving notice of the accomplishment of the days of purification, until an oblation should be offered for every one of them.
Mokolo oyo elandaki, Polo amemaki bato yango mpe amipetolaki elongo na bango. Bongo akotaki na Tempelo mpo na koyebisa mokolo oyo tango ya komipetola ekosila, mokolo oyo bakobonza mbeka mpo na moko na moko kati na bango.
27 But when the seven days were drawing to an end, those Jews that were of Asia, when they saw him in the temple, stirred up all the people, and laid hands upon him, crying out:
Tango mikolo sambo ekomaki pene ya kokoka, Bayuda ya mokili ya Azia bamonaki Polo kati na lopango ya Tempelo. Batombokisaki ebele nyonso ya bato mpe bakangaki ye
28 Men of Israel, help: This is the man that teacheth all men every where against the people, and the law, and this place; and moreover hath brought in Gentiles into the temple, and hath violated this holy place.
na koganga: — Bato ya Isalaele, bosunga biso! Botala moto oyo azali koteya bato nyonso mpe na bisika nyonso, ete batelemela bato na biso, Mobeko na biso mpe Tempelo oyo. Lisusu, akotisi bato ya Grese kati na Tempelo mpe akomisi esika oyo ya bule mbindo.
29 (For they had seen Trophimus the Ephesian in the city with him, whom they supposed that Paul had brought into the temple.)
Balobaki bongo mpo ete, liboso, bamonaki Polo elongo na Trofime, moto ya Efeso, kati na engumba mpe bakanisaki ete Polo akotisaki ye kati na Tempelo.
30 And the whole city was in an uproar: and the people ran together. And taking Paul, they drew him out of the temple, and immediately the doors were shut.
Mobulu makasi ekotaki kati na engumba mobimba, mpe ebele ya bato oyo bawutaki bipai na bipai bayaki na lombangu. Bakangaki Polo, babimisaki ye libanda ya Tempelo mpe, mbala moko, bakangaki bikuke na yango.
31 And as they went about to kill him, it was told the tribune of the band, That all Jerusalem was in confusion.
Wana bazalaki koluka koboma Polo, sango ekomaki kino na matoyi ya mokonzi ya basoda ya Rome ete mobulu ekoti kati na Yelusalemi mobimba.
32 Who, forthwith taking with him soldiers and centurions, ran down to them. And when they saw the tribune and the soldiers they left off beating Paul.
Mbala moko, azwaki basoda elongo na bakonzi na bango, mpe bakendeki na lombangu epai ebele ya bato bazalaki. Tango kaka bamonaki mokonzi ya basoda elongo na basoda na ye, batikaki kobeta Polo.
33 Then the tribune coming near, took him, and commanded him to be bound with two chains: and demanded who he was, and what he had done.
Mokonzi ya basoda apusanaki, akangaki Polo mpe apesaki mitindo ete bakanga ye minyololo mibale. Bongo atunaki soki Polo azali nani mpe asali nini.
34 And some cried one thing, some another, among the multitude. And when he could not know the certainty for the tumult, he commanded him to be carried into the castle.
Kati na ebele ya bato oyo batondaki wana, bamoko bazalaki koganga mpo na likambo moko, mpe bamosusu, mpo na likambo mosusu. Lokola mokonzi ya basoda azalaki kososola te bosolo ya likambo, mpo na mobulu oyo ebimaki, apesaki mitindo ete bamema Polo kati na lopango ya basoda.
35 And when he was come to the stairs, it fell out that he was carried by the soldiers, because of the violence of the people.
Tango Polo atiaki matambe na ye na binyatelo ya ematelo, basoda bakumbaki ye, mpo ete bato bazalaki kotia mobulu makasi.
36 For the multitude of the people followed after, crying: Away with him.
Bato nyonso bazalaki kolanda ye na koganga: — Akufa!
37 And as Paul was about to be brought into the castle, he saith to the tribune: May speak something to thee? Who said: Canst thou speak Greek?
Wana balingaki kokotisa ye kati na lopango ya basoda, Polo atunaki mokonzi ya basoda: — Nakoki koyebisa yo likambo moko? Mokonzi ya basoda atunaki Polo: — Oyebi koloba lokota ya Greki?
38 Art not thou that Egyptian who before these days didst raise a tumult, and didst lead forth into the desert four thousand men that were murderers?
Boni, ezali yo te moto ya Ejipito oyo akotisaki mobulu na mikolo oyo eleki mpe amemaki batomboki nkoto minei kati na esobe?
39 But Paul said to him: I am a Jew of Tarsus in Cilicia, a citizen of no mean city. And I beseech thee, suffer me to speak to the people.
Polo azongisaki: — Te, ezali ngai te! Ngai nazali Moyuda ya Tarse, kati na mokili ya Silisi, mpe moto ya engumba moko ya tina mingi. Nabondeli yo, pesa ngai nzela ya koloba na bato.
40 And when he had given him leave, Paul standing on the stairs, beckoned with his hand to the people. And a great silence being made, he spoke unto them in the Hebrew tongue, saying:
Sima na mokonzi ya basoda kopesa ye nzela, Polo atelemaki na binyatelo mpe atombolaki loboko. Bato batikaki makelele, mpe Polo akomaki koloba na bango na lokota ya Arami:
