Acts 13
1 Now in the church that was at Antioch there were some prophets and teachers: Bar-Naba, Shimon who was called Niger, Luqius of Qurini, Manayeil the foster brother of Herod the tetrarch, and Shaul.
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 As they served the Lord and fasted, the Rukha d'Qudsha said, "Separate Bar-Naba and Shaul for me, for the work to which I have called 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, when they had fasted and prayed and laid their hands on them, they 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, being sent out by the Rukha d'Qudsha, they went down to Seleucia. From there they sailed to Cyprus.
Mu lutumunu lu Pheve Yinlongo, Balinabasi ayi Sawuli bayenda ku Selesi. Kuna babakila masuwa mu kuenda ku Sipeli.
5 When they were at Salamis, they proclaimed the word of God in the Jewish synagogues. They had also Yukhanan as their attendant.
Bu batula ku Salamine, balonga mambu ma Nzambi mu zinzo zi zikhutukunu zi Bayuda. Yowani wuba kuba sadisanga.
6 When they had gone through the whole island as far as Paphos, they found a certain man, a magician, a Jewish false prophet whose name was Bar-Yeshua,
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 man of understanding. This man summoned Bar-Naba and Shaul, and sought 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 sorcerer (for so is his name by interpretation) withstood them, seeking to turn aside the proconsul from the faith.
Vayi Elimasi nkua mazi (yawu tsundu yi dizina diandi), wuba kakidila ayi wutomba bu zimbikisa minu ki Nyadi.
9 But Shaul, who is also called Paul, filled with the Rukha d'Qudsha, fastened his eyes on him,
Bosi Sawuli baba tedilanga diaka Polo bu kaba wuwala mu Pheve Yinlongo, wusungimina tala nkua mazi bosi wunkamba:
10 and said, "Full of all deceit and all fraud, you son of the devil, you enemy of all righteousness, will you not cease 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 Now, look, the hand of the Lord is on you, and you will be blind, unable to see the sun for a time." Immediately a mist and darkness fell on him. He went around seeking someone 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 saw what was done, believed, being astonished at the teaching of the Lord.
Nyadi beni buna kamona mambu mama mavioka, wuwilukila bilawusimina mu diambu di malongi ma Pfumu.
13 Now Paul and his company set sail from Paphos, and came to Perga in Pamphylia, and Yukhanan departed from them and returned to Urishlim.
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 on from Perga, came to Antioch of Pisidia. They went into the synagogue on the Sabbath day, and 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 After the reading of the Law and the Prophets, the rulers of the synagogue sent to them, saying, "Brothers, if you have any word of exhortation for 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 Paul stood up, and beckoning with his hand said, "Men of Israyel, and you who fear God, listen.
Polo bu katelama, wuvumbula koko kuandi ayi wutuba: —A basi Iseli ayi beno boso lueti kinzika Nzambi, bika luwa:
17 The God of this people Israyel chose our fathers, and exalted the people when they stayed as foreigners in the land of Egypt, and with an uplifted arm, he led them out of it.
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 For a period of about forty years he put up with them in the wilderness.
Wuba sadisa mu makumaya ma mimvu mu dikanga.
19 When he had destroyed seven nations in the land of Canaan, he gave them their land as an inheritance.
Bu kamana vonda tsambudi di makanda mu tsi Kana, wuba vana mawu banga kiuka.
20 All this took about four hundred and fifty years. And after these things he gave them judges, until Shemuyel the prophet.
Mambu momo bu mavioka, nate nduka-nduka zikhama ziya ayi makumatanu ma mimvu, wuba vana mazuzi nate mu thangu mbikudi Samueli.
21 Afterward they asked for a king, and God gave to them Shaul the son of Kish, a man of the tribe of Benyamin, for forty years.
Bosi balomba ntinu; buna Nzambi wuba vana Sawuli muana Kisi, muisi dikanda di Benyamini; niandi wuba yadila mu makumaya ma mimvu.
22 When he had removed him, he raised up Dawid to be their king, to whom he also testified, 'I have found Dawid the son of Ishai, a man after my heart, who will do all my will.'
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 From this man's offspring, according to his promise, God has brought to Israyel a Savior, Yeshua,
Vayi mu nkuna Davidi Nzambi katotudila Yesu, Mvulusi mu diambu Iseli bila bobo bubela tsilꞌandi.
24 before his coming, when Yukhanan had first preached the baptism of repentance to all the people of Israyel.
Tuamina ndizulu andi, Yowani wulonga batu boso malongi matedi mbotokolo bu bameni balula mavanga mawu.
25 As Yukhanan was fulfilling his course, he said, 'What do you suppose that I am? I am not he. But look, one comes after me the sandals of whose feet I am not worthy to untie.'
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 Brothers, children of the stock of Avraham, and those among you who fear God, the word of this salvation is sent out to us.
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 those who dwell in Urishlim, and their rulers, because they did not know him, nor the voices of the prophets which are read every Sabbath, fulfilled them by condemning him.
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 Though they found no cause for death, they still asked Pilate to have him killed.
Ka diambu ko basia mona ko mu niandi kadi bila kikalenda vondolo vayi baleba Pilatu mu diambu kamvondisa.
29 When they had fulfilled all things that were written about him, they took him down from the tree, and placed him in a tomb.
Bu bamana dukisa mambu moso masonama mu diambu diandi, bankulula va nti ayi bantula mu ziami.
30 But God raised him from the dead,
Vayi Nzambi wumfulukisa mu bafua!
31 and he was seen for many days by those who came up with him from Galila to Urishlim, who 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 We bring you good news of the promise made to the fathers,
Beto, tulembo lusamunina Nsamu wumboti landila tsilayivana Nzambi kuidi bakulu beto
33 that God has fulfilled for us, their children, in that he raised up Yeshua. As it is also written in the second psalm, 'You are my Son. Today I have become your Father.'
ti Nzambi wudedikisidi yawu kuidi beto bana bawu bu katotula banga busonimina mu Nkunga wummuadi: Widi Muanꞌama, buabu ndibutidi.
34 "Concerning that he raised him up from the dead, now no more to return to corruption, he has spoken thus: 'I will give to you the faithful sacred things of Dawid.'
Muaki wumfulukisa mu bafua muingi kabika buela fua. Diawu katubila ti: Ndiela kulusakumuna mu mambu manlongo, mavedila momo ndivanina Davidi tsila.
35 Therefore he says also in another psalm, 'You will not allow your Holy One to see decay.'
Diawu katubila mu buangu kinkaka: Wulendi tala ko ti nitu yi mutu aku wunlongo yibola.
36 For Dawid, after he had in his own generation served the counsel of God, fell asleep, and was placed with his fathers, and saw decay.
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 raised up saw no decay.
Vayi mutu wowo Nzambi kafulukisa, kasia bola ko.
38 Be it known to you therefore, brothers, that through this man is proclaimed to you forgiveness of sins,
A bakhomba; bika luzaba ti mu niandi muyizila ndemvokolo yi masumu.
39 and by him everyone who believes is justified from all things, from which you could not be justified by the Law of Mushe.
Ayi mu niandi, woso mutu wukunwilukila, wela kunnungisa mu mambu moso momo Mina mi Moyize milendi baka ko bu kulunungisila.
40 So beware, lest what is said in the Prophets should come about:
Diawu, lulubuka muingi mambu matuba mimbikudi mabika kulubuila:
41 'Look, you scoffers, and be amazed, and perish; for I am working a work in your days, a work which you will not believe, if one tells it to 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 So when they went out they urged them to speak about these things on the next Sabbath.
Bu batotuka ku nganda, baleba Polo ayi Balinabasi mu diambu di biza longi diaka mambu beni mu lumbu ki saba kinkuiza.
43 Now when the synagogue broke up, many of the Jews and of the devout proselytes followed Paul and Bar-Naba; who, speaking to them, urged 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 The next Sabbath almost the whole city was gathered together to hear the word of the Lord.
Mu lumbu ki saba kilanda, nduka-nduka divula dioso dikutakana mu wa mambu ma Nzambi.
45 But when the Jews saw the crowds, they were filled with jealousy, and contradicted the things which were spoken by Paul, and reviled him.
Vayi Bayuda bu bamona nkangu wu batu, bamona kikhenene ayi bavunisa Polo mu mambu momo kaba tuba, bamvunisa ayi bavueza Nzambi.
46 Paul and Bar-Naba spoke out boldly, and said, "It was necessary that God's word should be spoken to you first. Since indeed you thrust it from you, and judge yourselves unworthy of everlasting life, look, we turn to the non-Jewish people. (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 has the Lord commanded us, saying, 'I have set you as a light to the nations, that you may bring salvation to the farthest 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 As the non-Jewish people heard this, they were glad, and glorified the word of the Lord. As many as were appointed to everlasting life 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 The Lord's word was spread abroad throughout all the region.
Mambu ma Pfumu ma tembakana mu tsi yoso.
50 But the Jews stirred up the devout women of prominence and the leading men of the city, and stirred up a persecution against Paul and Bar-Naba, and threw them out of their borders.
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 shook off the dust of their feet against them, and came to Iconium.
Polo ayi Balinabasi bakukumuna mbungi-mbungi yiba mu malu mawu, bayenda ku Ikonuimi.
52 The disciples were filled with joy with the Rukha d'Qudsha.
Muaki minlonguki miba miwala mu khini ayi mu Pheve Yinlongo.
