Acts 16
1 He came also to Derbe and Lystra. And look, a certain disciple was there, named Timothy, the son of a Jewish woman who believed; but his father was a Greek.
Polo wutula ku Delibe ayi ku Lisitele. Kuna kuba nlonguki wumosi, dizina diandi Timote; ngudi andi wuba Nyuda wutambula phulusu vayi dise diandi diba muisi Ngelese.
2 The brothers who were at Lystra and Iconium gave a good testimony about him.
Bakhomba baba ku Lisitele ayi ku Ikoniumi zitelimina Timote kimbangi kimboti.
3 Paul wanted to have him go out with him, and he took and circumcised him because of the Jews who were in those parts; for they all knew that his father was a Greek.
Polo wuzola ti Timote kenda yandi. Bu kambonga, buna wunzengisa nitu yi kibakala mu diambu di Bayuda bobo baba mu bibuangu bina bila batu boso bazaba ti dise diandi wuba muisi Ngelese.
4 As they went on their way through the cities, they delivered the decrees to them to keep which had been ordained by the apostles and elders who were at Jerusalem.
Mu mavula moso baviokila, basamuna mambu mazenga bamvuala ayi bakulutu ba Yeluzalemi ayi baba lomba batumimina mambu beni.
5 So the churches were strengthened in the faith, and increased in number daily.
Mabundu maba makinda mu minu ayi ntalu yi batu yibuelama lumbu ka lumbu.
6 When they had gone through the region of Phrygia and Galatia, they were forbidden by the Holy Spirit to speak the word in Asia.
Bosi basabuka Filingi ayi tsi yi Ngalatiya bila Pheve Yinlongo wuba kandika babika longa mambu ma Nzambi ku Azi.
7 When they had come opposite Mysia, they tried to go into Bithynia, but the Spirit of Jesus did not allow them.
Bu batula ku ndilu yi tsi yi Misi, bazola kuenda ku Bitini vayi Pheve yi Yesu yisia kuba vana minsua ko.
8 Passing by Mysia, they came down to Troas.
Vayi bu baviokila ku Misi, bayenda ku Tolowasi.
9 A vision appeared to Paul in the night. There was a man of Macedonia standing, begging him, and saying, "Come over into Macedonia and help us."
Va builu, Polo wumona tsongolo. Wumona muisi Maseduani wuntelimina va ntuala ayi wunleba: —A Tata, lemvuka! Yiza ku Maseduani mu kutusadisa!
10 When he had seen the vision, immediately we sought to go out to Macedonia, concluding that the Lord had called us to proclaim the Good News to them.
Tsongolo yoyi bu yivioka, tutomba nzila mu kuenda ku Maseduani bila tumona ti niandi veka Nzambi wututela mu kuenda longi kuna Nsamu wumboti.
11 Then, setting sail from Troas, we made a straight course to Samothrace, and the day following to Neapolis;
Tukota mu masuwa ku Tolowasi bosi tuyenda ku sanga ki Samotalasi. Mu lumbu kilanda, tutula ku Neyapolisi.
12 and from there to Philippi, which is a principle city of that district of Macedonia, a colony. We were staying some days in this city.
Bosi tuyenda ku Filipi, divula dimosi dinneni di Maseduani diba mu mioko mi luyalu lu basi Loma. Bilumbu biwombo tukadila kuna.
13 On the Sabbath day we went forth outside of the gate by a riverside, where we supposed there was a place of prayer, and we sat down, and spoke to the women who had come together.
Mu lumbu ki saba, bu tutotuka ku divula, tuyenda ku muenda nlangu wuba ku difula di buala bila kuawu tubanzila kuidi buangu ki lusambulu. Tuvuanda ayi tusolula ayi baketo bobo bayiza kutakana.
14 A certain woman named Lydia, a seller of purple, of the city of Thyatira, one who worshiped God, heard us; whose heart the Lord opened to listen to the things which were spoken by Paul.
Nketo wumosi, mu bobo baba nwa, dizina diandi Lidi, wuba muisi Tiatile; minledi mimbuaki kaba nsumbisanga. Wuba kinzikanga Nzambi. Pfumu wuzibula ntimꞌandi muingi kawa bumboti mambu ma Nzambi malonga Polo.
15 When she and her household were baptized, she urged us, saying, "If you have judged me to be faithful to the Lord, come into my house, and stay." So she persuaded us.
Bu kabotama va kimosi ayi nzoꞌandi, wutuleba bu katukamba: —Enati lumueni ti ndidi wukuikama mu Pfumu buna luiza lukota ku nzoꞌama ayi luvuanda kuna. Buna wutuleba ngolo.
16 It happened, as we were going to prayer, that a certain girl having a spirit of Python met us, who brought her masters much gain by fortune telling.
Lumbu kimosi bu tuba kuenda ku sambila. Tudengana mvika wumosi wu nketo wuba ayi pheve yimbimbi, yoyi kaba bikudilangamambu. Zimbikudulu ziandi zivana bapfumu bandi zimbongo ziwombo.
17 She followed Paul and us, shouting, "These men are servants of the Most High God, who proclaim to you the way of salvation."
Mvika beni wu nketo, wutulandakana ayi wuyamikina: —“Tala; batu baba badi bisadi bi Nzambi yi zangama, bawu balembo lulongi nzila yi phulusu.”
18 She was doing this for many days. But Paul, becoming greatly annoyed, turned and said to the spirit, "I command you in the name of Jesus Christ to come out of her." And it came out at once.
Bilumbu biwombo kavangila buawu. Polo wumona kiadi mu tezo kiviokakana, wutala ku mbusa bosi wukamba pheve yimbimbi: —Mu dizina di Yesu Klisto, ndikutuma totuka mu ndumba yayi! Pheve yimbimbi yitotuka muna thangu yina.
19 But when her masters saw that the hope of their gain was gone, they seized Paul and Silas, and dragged them into the marketplace before the rulers.
Bapfumu zi mvika beni wu nketo bu zimona ti diana di buela bakila zimbongo dimana, buna zikanga Polo ayi Sila, babakoka va buangu ki batu bawombo ayi va ntuala mazuzi.
20 When they had brought them to the magistrates, they said, "These men, being Jews, are agitating our city,
Baba funda kuidi bapfumu zi ntiliminadu ayi batuba: —Batu baba badi Bayuda, balembo tudi divunzi mu divula dieto.
21 and set forth customs which it is not lawful for us to accept or to observe, being Romans."
Balembo longi khadulu yoyi beto basi Loma tulendi kikinina ko ayi tulendi sadila ko.
22 The crowd rose up together against them, and the magistrates tore their clothes off of them, and commanded them to be beaten with rods.
Nkangu wu batu wufuemina Polo ayi Sila. Buna bapfumuzi ntiliminadu zituma babavula minledi ayi bababeta bikoti.
23 When they had laid many stripes on them, they threw them into prison, charging the jailer to keep them safely,
Bu babetolo ngolo, bosi baba kotisa mu nloko ayi bavana lutumunu kuidi nsungi wu nloko kaba sunga bumboti.
24 who, having received such a command, threw them into the inner prison, and secured their feet in the stocks.
Nsungi bu katambula lutumunu lolo, buna wuba tula mu vinga ki khati kidi muna khati nloko. Bosi wukangikisa malu mawu mu bitini bi makunzi ma mabaya.
25 But about midnight Paul and Silas were praying and singing hymns to God, and the prisoners were listening to them.
Nduka-nduka midi miphipa, Polo ayi Sila basambila ayi bayimbidila Nzambi, bobo bankaka baba mu nloko ba bawa.
26 Suddenly there was a great earthquake, so that the foundations of the prison were shaken; and immediately all the doors were opened, and everyone's bonds were loosened.
Buela zimbukila ntoto weka nikuka ngolo nate zifondasio zi nloko zinikuka, mielo mioso mi nloko mimana zibuka; zisieni zioso zi batu baba mu nloko zitabuka.
27 The jailer, being roused out of sleep and seeing the prison doors open, drew his sword and was about to kill himself, supposing that the prisoners had escaped.
Nsungi wu nloko wukotuka ayi bu kamona ti mielo mioso mimana zibuka; wutotula sabala kiandi ayi wuzola kukivonda bila kabanzilati batu ba nloko batina.
28 But Paul shouted loudly, saying, "Do not harm yourself, for we are all here."
Vayi Polo wuyamikina mu mbembo yingolo: —Bika kukivanga mbimbi, bila beto boso tuidi vava!
29 He called for lights and sprang in, and, fell down trembling before Paul and Silas,
Nsungi wu nloko wulomba muinda, wukota muna khati nloko, wufukama va ntuala Polo ayi Sila mu lukhuku.
30 and brought them out and said, "Sirs, what must I do to be saved?"
Wuba totula ku nganda ayi wuba yuvula: —A bamueni, mbi phanga muingi ndivuka e?
31 They said, "Believe in the Lord Jesus, and you will be saved, you and your household."
Bamvutudila: —Wilukila Pfumu Yesu, buna mawu vuka ngeyo ayi nzo aku!
32 They spoke the word of the Lord to him, and to all who were in his house.
Banlonga mambu ma Pfumu ayi batu boso baba mu nzoꞌandi.
33 He took them the same hour of the night, and washed their stripes, and was immediately baptized, he and all his household.
Muna builu, muna thangu beni, nsungi wu nloko wusukula ziphuta ziawu. Niandi wubotama va kimosi ayi nzo andi yoso.
34 He brought them up into his house, and set food before them, and rejoiced greatly, with all his household, having believed in God.
Wunata Polo ayi Sila ku nzoꞌandi, wuba vana bidia. Nzo andi yoso yimonakhini mu diambu bawilukila Nzambi.
35 But when it was day, the magistrates sent the sergeants, saying, "Let those men go."
Va nsuka, bapfumu zituma batu muingi bakamba nsungi wu nloko: —Yekula batu beni!
36 The jailer reported these words to Paul, saying, "The magistrates have sent to let you go; now therefore come out, and go in peace."
Bosi nsungi wu nloko wukamba buawu kuidi Polo ti: —Bapfumu zitumini batu muingi ndiluyekula. Totukeno ayi yendanomu ndembama!
37 But Paul said to them, "They have beaten us publicly, without a trial, men who are Romans, and have cast us into prison. Do they now release us secretly? No indeed. Let them come themselves and bring us out."
Vayi Polo wuvutula: —Nana, beto tuidi basi Loma; basi kutusambisa ko; batubetisidi bikotiva meso ma batu; batukotisidi mu nloko. Vayi buabu batidi ku tuyekula mu kinsueki e! Nana! Biza tutotula bawu veka!
38 The sergeants reported these words to the magistrates, and they were afraid when they heard that they were Romans,
Batu bana bayenda kamba nsamu beni kuidi bapfumu. Bosi bapfumu zimonaboma bu ziwa ti Polo ayi Sila badi basi Loma.
39 and they came and apologized to them. When they had brought them out, they asked them to depart from the city.
Bayenda kuna nloko, baleba Polo ayi Sila; babatotula ayi babalombababotuka mu divula dina.
40 They went out of the prison, and entered into Lydia's house. When they had seen the brothers, they encouraged them, and departed.
Polo ayi Sila bu batotuka mu nloko, bayenda ku nzo Lidi. Kunabamona bakhomba ayi babakindisa. Bosi bayenda kuawu.
