Acts 8
1 And Saul was assenting to his death, and there came in that day a great persecution on the Assembly in Jerusalem, all were also scattered abroad in 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 devout men carried Stephen away, and made great lamentation over him;
Batu baba kinzikanga mambu ma Nzambi bayenda zika Etieni ayi bandila ngolo.
3 and Saul was making havoc of the Assembly, entering into every house, and dragging away men and women, giving them up to prison;
Vayi Sawuli wuyamisa dibundu, wuba kotanga mu kadika nzo, mu kanga babakala ayi baketo ayi kuba loza mu nloko.
4 they then indeed, having been scattered, went abroad proclaiming good news—the word.
Vayi batu bobo basasukusu bayenda ndambu na ndambu, balonga mambu ma Nzambi.
5 And Philip having gone down to a city of Samaria, was preaching the Christ to them;
Filipi wuyenda ku divula dimosi di Samali. Wulonga nsamu wu Klisto.
6 the multitudes were also giving heed to the things spoken by Philip, with one accord, in their hearing and seeing the signs that he was doing,
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 unclean spirits came forth from many who were possessed, crying with a loud voice, and many who have been paralytic 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 previously in the city using magic, and amazing the nation of Samaria, saying himself to be a certain great one,
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 they were all giving heed, from small to great, saying, “This one is the great power of God”;
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 were giving heed to him, because of his having amazed them for a long time with deeds of magic.
Banwilukila bila tona thama baba siminanga mu diambu di mazi mandi.
12 And when they believed Philip, proclaiming good news, the things concerning the Kingdom of God and the Name of Jesus Christ, they were immersed—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 and Simon himself also believed, and having been immersed, he was continuing with Philip, beholding also signs and mighty acts being done, he was amazed.
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 And the apostles in Jerusalem having heard that Samaria has received the word of God, sent Peter and John to them,
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 concerning them, that they may receive the Holy Spirit—
Bu batula, baba sambidila muingi batambula Pheve Yinlongo,
16 for as yet He was fallen on none of them, and only they have been immersed—into 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 were laying hands on them, and they received the Holy Spirit.
Piela ayi Yowani babatetika mioko ayi batambula Pheve Yinlongo.
18 And Simon, having beheld that through the laying on of the hands of the apostles the Holy Spirit is given, brought money before them,
Vayi Simoni bu kamona ti Pheve yinlongo yivanunu mu thetokolo yi mioko mi bamvuala, buna wuba vana zimbongo;
19 saying, “Give also to me this authority, that on whomsoever I may lay the hands, he may receive the Holy Spirit.”
bosi wuba kamba: —Bika luphana mamvama lulendo lolo muingi babo ndikuizatetika mioko batambula Pheve Yinlongo.
20 And Peter said to him, “Your silver with you—may it be to destruction! Because you thought to possess the gift of God through money;
Vayi Piela wumvutudila: —Bika wufua ngeyo ayi zimbongo ziaku bu wuyindudi sumba dikaba di Nzambi.
21 you have neither part nor lot in this thing, for your 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 convert, therefore, from this your wickedness, and implore God, if then the purpose of your heart may be forgiven you,
Bika wubalula mavanga maku mambimbi, ayi sambila Pfumu muingi enati baka bubela mayindu ma ntimꞌaku malemvokolo.
23 for in the gall of bitterness, and bond of unrighteousness, I perceive you being.”
Bila ndimmona ti kikhenene ayi masumu bidi yaku.
24 And Simon answering, said, “Implore for me to the LORD, that nothing may come on me of the things you have spoken.”
Buna Simoni wuvutula: —Bika beno veka lusambila Pfumu muingi mambu momo lutubidi mabika kumbuila.
25 They indeed, therefore, having testified fully, and spoken the word of the LORD, turned back to Jerusalem; they also proclaimed good news in 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 a messenger of the LORD spoke to Philip, saying, “Arise, and go on toward the south, on the way that is going down from Jerusalem to Gaza.” (This is desolate.)
Mbasi yi Pfumu yikamba Filipi: —Telama! Yenda mu ndambu yi sude mu nzila yitonina ku Yelusalemi nate ku Ngasa; nzila yikambulu batu.
27 And having arisen, he went on, and behold, a man of Ethiopia, a eunuch, a man of rank, of Candace the queen of the Ethiopians, who was over all her treasure, who had come 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 he was also returning, and is sitting on his chariot, and 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 near, and be joined to this chariot”;
Pheve yikamba Filipi: —Fikama ayi bakidila saleti yoyi.
30 and Philip having run near, heard him reading the prophet Isaiah and said, “Do you then know what you read?”
Filipi wuzawula; wunwa wulembo tangi nkanda wu mbikudi Ezayi; buna wunyuvula: —Wulembo sudika kuaku mambu momo wulembo tangi e?
31 And he said, “Why, how am I able, if someone may not guide me?” He called Philip also, having come 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 passage of the Writing that he was reading was this: “He was led as a sheep to slaughter, And as a lamb before his shearer is silent, So He does not open 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 His generation—who will declare? 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 answering Philip said, “I beg you, about whom does the prophet say this? About himself, or about some other one?”
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 And Philip having opened his mouth, and having begun from this Writing, proclaimed good news to him—Jesus.
Filipi wutona yoluka, wutona kunsamunina mambu ma Yesu, tonina mu nkanda wowo.
36 And as they were going on the way, they came on some water, and the eunuch said, “Behold, water; what hinders me to be immersed?”
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? [
37 [[And Philip said, “If you believe out of all the heart, it is lawful”; and he answering said, “I believe Jesus Christ to be the Son of God”; ]]
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 went down to the water, both Philip and the eunuch, and he immersed 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 snatched up Philip, and the eunuch saw him no more, for he was going 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 passing through, he was proclaiming good news to all the cities, until his coming to Caesarea.
Vayi Filipi wuyenda monikila ku Azoti. Bu kaviokila mu tsiwulonga Nsamu Wumboti mu mala moso momo kaviokila nate katula ku Sezali.
