Acts 8
1 And Saul was consenting unto his death. And there was a great persecution in that day against the church in Jerusalem: and all were dispersed abroad throughout the regions of Judea and Samaria, except the apostles.
Sawuli wukikinina ti bavonda Etieni. Tona lumbu kina batona yamisa ngolo Dibundu diba ku Yelusalemi. Baboso botula kaka bamvuala, bamana sasukusu mu zunga ki Yuda ayi ki Samali.
2 And godly men buried Stephen, and made great mourning over him.
Batu baba kinzikanga mambu ma Nzambi bayenda zika Etieni ayi bandila ngolo.
3 But Saul was laying waste the church, entering into the houses, and arresting men and women, he committed them to prison.
Vayi Sawuli wuyamisa dibundu, wuba kotanga mu kadika nzo, mu kanga babakala ayi baketo ayi kuba loza mu nloko.
4 Therefore indeed, being dispersed abroad, they went everywhere preaching the word:
Vayi batu bobo basasukusu bayenda ndambu na ndambu, balonga mambu ma Nzambi.
5 and Philip, having gone down to the city of Samaria, was preaching Christ to them,
Filipi wuyenda ku divula dimosi di Samali. Wulonga nsamu wu Klisto.
6 And the multitudes were unanimously giving heed to the things spoken by Philip, while they were hearing and seeing the miracles which he was performing.
Nkangu wu batu, mu kithuadi kimosi, batamba bumboti matu mu mambu Filipi kaba kuba kamba bu banwa ayi bammona mu bikumu kaba vanganga.
7 For many of those having unclean spirits, roaring with a loud voice, went out: and many paralyzed and lame were healed;
Bila ziphevi zimbimbi ziyamikina mu mbembo yingolo bu ziba totuka mu batu bawombo makoka mawombo ayi batu bawombo baba ntiudika babeluka.
8 and there was great joy in that city.
Khini yiwombo yiba mu divula dina.
9 And a certain man, by name Simon, was formerly practicing magic in the city, and bewitching the nation of Samaria, saying that himself was some great man:
Muaki tuamina mambu momo, mu divula beni muba mutu wumosi dizina diandi Simoni, wuba sadilanga mazi, ayi basi Samali baba siminanga mu diambu di mavanga mandi; wukibieka mutu wu luvalu.
10 to whom all from small even unto the great gave heed, saying, This one is the power of God, called Great.
Batu boso, tona mu bana balezi ayi bakulutu, banwilukila ayi batuba ti: —Mutu niawu niandi lulendo lu Nzambi, lolo luntedolongo “Lulendo lunneni”.
11 And they gave heed to him, because for a long time he had deceived them with his magic arts.
Banwilukila bila tona thama baba siminanga mu diambu di mazi mandi.
12 But when they believed Philip preaching the gospel concerning the kingdom of God, and the name of Jesus Christ, they were baptized, both men and women.
Vayi bu bawilukila Filipi bu kaba samunina Nsamu Wumboti wutedi Kipfumu ki Nzambi ayi wutedi dizina di Yesu Klisto; babakala ayi baketo babotama.
13 But Simon himself also believed: and being baptized, was constantly with Philip, both seeing the miracles and the great dynamites performed, was astonished.
Mamvandi Simoni wuwilukila; bu kabotama buna wukala ayi Filipi mu zithangu zioso. Bu kamona mambu manneni ayi bikumu binneni biba vangamanga, buna wusimina ngolo.
14 But the apostles in Jerusalem, having heard that Samaria has received the word of God, sent to them Peter and John:
Mu thangu bamvuala bobo baba ku Yelusalemi bu ziwa ti basi Samali batambula mambu ma Nzambi, baba fidisila Piela ayi Yowani.
15 who, having come down, prayed for them, that they might receive the Holy Ghost.
Bu batula, baba sambidila muingi batambula Pheve Yinlongo,
16 For he had not yet fallen on any of them: but they were only baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus.
bila buna yikulukidi ko kadi va mutu wumosi; vayi mu dizina di Pfumu Yesu kaka babotimina.
17 Then they laid their hands on them, and they received the Holy Ghost.
Piela ayi Yowani babatetika mioko ayi batambula Pheve Yinlongo.
18 But Simon seeing that by the laying on of the hands of the apostles the Spirit was given, offered them money, saying,
Vayi Simoni bu kamona ti Pheve yinlongo yivanunu mu thetokolo yi mioko mi bamvuala, buna wuba vana zimbongo;
19 Give me this power, that on whomsoever I may lay hands, he may receive the Holy Ghost.
bosi wuba kamba: —Bika luphana mamvama lulendo lolo muingi babo ndikuizatetika mioko batambula Pheve Yinlongo.
20 And Peter said to him, Thy silver be unto destruction with thee, because thou hast thought to obtain the gift of God with money.
Vayi Piela wumvutudila: —Bika wufua ngeyo ayi zimbongo ziaku bu wuyindudi sumba dikaba di Nzambi.
21 There is neither part nor lot to thee in this word: for thy heart is not right before God.
Kadi kuku ayi kadi ndambu wisi ko mu diambu diadi bila ntimaꞌaku wisi wululama ko va meso ma Nzambi.
22 Therefore repent of this thy wickedness, and pray the Lord, if perchance the thought of thy heart shall be forgiven thee;
Bika wubalula mavanga maku mambimbi, ayi sambila Pfumu muingi enati baka bubela mayindu ma ntimꞌaku malemvokolo.
23 for I see thou art in the gall of bitterness and the bond of iniquity.
Bila ndimmona ti kikhenene ayi masumu bidi yaku.
24 And Simon responding said, You pray to the Lord for me, in order that none of these things of which you have spoken may come upon me.
Buna Simoni wuvutula: —Bika beno veka lusambila Pfumu muingi mambu momo lutubidi mabika kumbuila.
25 Then indeed, witnessing and speaking the word of the Lord, they returned to Jerusalem, and preached the gospel to many villages of the Samaritans.
Buna bamana telimina Yesu Klisto kimbangi ayi longa Mambu ma Pfumu, Piela ayi Yowani bavutuka ku Yelusalemi. Balonga Nsamu wumboti mu mala mawombo ma Samali.
26 And the angel of the Lord spoke to Philip, saying, Arise, and go towards the south unto the way going down from Jerusalem to Gaza; the same is desert.
Mbasi yi Pfumu yikamba Filipi: —Telama! Yenda mu ndambu yi sude mu nzila yitonina ku Yelusalemi nate ku Ngasa; nzila yikambulu batu.
27 And rising up, he departed. And, behold, an Ethiopian man, a eunuch, an officer of Candace queen of the Ethiopians, who was over all her treasury, had been to Jerusalem to worship,
Niandi wutelama ayi wuyenda. Tala muisi Etiopi wumosi wuba lundanga zimbongo ayi kiuka kioso ki ntinu wunketo wu Etiopi; wuyiza ku Yelusalemi mu sambila.
28 and was returning, and sitting upon his chariot he was reading the prophet Isaiah.
Bu kaba mvutuka, wuvuanda mu Saleti kiandi. Wuba tanga nkanda wu mbikudi Ezayi.
29 And the Spirit said to Philip, Go, and join yourself to that chariot.
Pheve yikamba Filipi: —Fikama ayi bakidila saleti yoyi.
30 And Philip running forth, heard him reading Isaiah the prophet, and said; Whether do you understand what you are reading?
Filipi wuzawula; wunwa wulembo tangi nkanda wu mbikudi Ezayi; buna wunyuvula: —Wulembo sudika kuaku mambu momo wulembo tangi e?
31 And he said, How could I, unless some one shall guide me? And he called upon Philip coming up, to sit with him;
Mutu beni wumvutudila: —Buevi ndenda kumasudikila enati mutu kakadi kutsudikisa mawu e? Bosi wuleba Filipi kakuma mu Saleti ayi wunleba kavuanda va ndambu andi.
32 and the place of the scripture which he was reading was this, He was led like a sheep to the slaughter; and as a lamb before the one shearing him is dumb, so he opens not his mouth.
Buku ki mambu kioki kaba tanga kiawu kiaki: Bannata banga dimemi diyenda ku vondo; banga muana dimemi diodi dinkambu samba va ntuala mutu wowo wulembo nkulula mika, vayi kasia zibula munu ko;
33 In his humiliation his judgment was taken away: and who shall declare His generation? because his life is taken from the earth.
mu diambu di kukikulula bamanga kunnungisa. Nani wela yolukila nkunꞌandi e? Bila basukisidi luzingu luandi va ntoto e?
34 And the eunuch responding to Philip, said, I pray thee, concerning whom does the prophet speak this? concerning himself, or some other man?
Buna nlundi wu kiuka ki ntinu wunketo wuyuvula Filipi: —Wundemvukila; wutsudikisa mu diambu di nani mbikudi kayolukila mambu mama e? Mu diambu di niandi veka voti mu diambu di mutu wunkaka e?
35 Philip opening his mouth, and beginning from the same scripture, preached Jesus to him.
Filipi wutona yoluka, wutona kunsamunina mambu ma Yesu, tonina mu nkanda wowo.
36 And while they were journeying along the road, they came to a certain water: and the eunuch says, Behold water; what doth hinder me from being baptized?
Bu batatamana diata mu nzila, batula va buindi kinlangu. Buna nlundi wu kiuka ki ntinu wunketo wutuba: —Tala nlangu wawu! A mbi bi kukhakidika mu botama e? [
Filipi wumvutudila: —Enati wilukidi mu ntimꞌaku wumvimba buna wulenda kuaku botama! Mutu beni wuvutula: —Ndinwilukila ti Yesu Klisto niandi Muana Nzambi.]
38 And he commanded the chariot to stand still: and they both came down into the water, both Philip and the eunuch; and he baptized him.
Wuvana minsua mu telimisa Saleti. Filipi ayi nlundi wu kiuka ki ntinu wunketo, bawu buadi batibuka mu nlangu; bosi Filipi wumbotika.
39 And when they came up out of the water, the Spirit of the Lord caught away Philip; and the eunuch saw him no more: for he went on his way rejoicing.
Bu batotuka mu nlangu, Pheve yi Pfumu yizimbisa Filipi, ayi nlundi wu kiuka ki ntinu wunketo kasia buela kummona ko. Vayi mutu beni wulandakana nzilꞌandi mu khini yiwombo.
40 And Philip was found at Azotus: and going through he preached the gospel to all the cities, until he came to Caesarea.
Vayi Filipi wuyenda monikila ku Azoti. Bu kaviokila mu tsiwulonga Nsamu Wumboti mu mala moso momo kaviokila nate katula ku Sezali.
