Acts 13
1 Now in the church that was at Antioch there were some prophets and teachers: Barnabas, Simeon who was called Niger, Lucius of Cyrene, Manaen the foster brother of Herod the tetrarch, and Saul.
Kati na Lingomba oyo ezalaki na Antioshe, ezalaki na basakoli mpe balakisi: Barnabasi, Simeoni oyo bazalaki kobenga « Moto mwindo, » Lusiusi ya Sirene, Manaeni oyo akolaki esika moko na moyangeli Erode, mpe Saulo.
2 As they served the Lord and fasted, the Holy Spirit said, "Separate Barnabas and Saul for me, for the work to which I have called them."
Ezalaki mokolo moko, wana bazalaki kogumbamela Nkolo mpe kokila bilei, Molimo Mosantu alobaki: — Botiela ngai pembeni Barnabasi mpe Saulo mpo na mosala oyo nabengeli bango.
3 Then, when they had fasted and prayed and laid their hands on them, they sent them away.
Boye, sima na bango kokila bilei mpe kosambela, batielaki bango maboko mpe batikaki bango kokende.
4 So, being sent out by the Holy Spirit, they went down to Seleucia. From there they sailed to Cyprus.
Na etinda ya Molimo Mosantu, Barnabasi mpe Saulo bakendeki na Selesi; mpe longwa kuna, bazwaki masuwa mpo na kokende na esanga ya Shipre.
5 When they were at Salamis, they proclaimed the word of God in the Jewish synagogues. They had also John as their attendant.
Tango bakomaki na Salamine, bateyaki Liloba na Nzambe kati na bandako ya mayangani ya Bayuda. Yoane Malako azalaki elongo na bango lokola mosungi.
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-Jesus,
Bakatisaki esanga mobimba kino bakomaki na Pafosi epai wapi bamonaki Moyuda moko, kombo na ye « Bari-Yesu. » Azalaki moto ya maji mpe mosakoli ya lokuta.
7 who was with the proconsul, Sergius Paulus, a man of understanding. This man summoned Barnabas and Saul, and sought to hear the word of God.
Azalaki mpe moninga ya moyangeli Sergiusi Paulusi oyo azalaki moto ya mayele. Boye, Sergiusi Paulusi abengisaki Barnabasi mpe Saulo, pamba te azalaki na posa ya koyoka Liloba na Nzambe.
8 But Elymas the sorcerer (for so is his name by interpretation) withstood them, seeking to turn aside the proconsul from the faith.
Kasi Elimasi, moto ya maji (pamba te yango nde ezali ndimbola ya kombo na ye), atelemelaki bango mpe azalaki kosala nyonso mpo na kopengwisa kondima ya moyangeli.
9 But Saul, who is also called Paul, filled with the Holy Spirit, fastened his eyes on him,
Bongo lokola Saulo, oyo bazalaki mpe kobenga « Polo, » azalaki atondisama na Molimo Mosantu, atalaki Elimasi na miso mpe alobaki na ye:
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?
— Mwana ya Satana mpe monguna ya makambo nyonso ya sembo! Otondi na lolenge nyonso ya lokuta mpe ya mayele mabe! Kino tango nini okotika kobebisa mabongisi ya Nkolo, oyo ezali sembo?
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.
Tala, loboko ya Nkolo etelemeli yo sik’oyo. Ozali kokoma mokufi miso mpo na mwa tango moke, okomona lisusu te pole ya moyi. Kaka na tango yango, lipata mpe molili ezipaki miso ya Elimasi; azalaki lisusu komona te mpe akomaki kobaluka-baluka bipai nyonso na koluka moto mpo ete asimba ye na loboko mpe alakisa ye nzela.
12 Then the proconsul, when he saw what was done, believed, being astonished at the teaching of the Lord.
Tango moyangeli amonaki makambo oyo esalemaki, andimaki, pamba te mateya na tina na Nkolo ekamwisaki ye makasi.
13 Now Paul and his company set sail from Paphos, and came to Perga in Pamphylia, and John departed from them and returned to Jerusalem.
Wuta na Pafosi, Polo elongo na baninga na ye bazwaki masuwa mpe bakendeki na Perje, kati na mokili ya Pafili, epai wapi Yoane Malako atikaki bango mpo na kozonga na 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.
Mpe longwa na Perje, bakobaki mobembo na bango kino na Antioshe, kati na mokili ya Pisidi. Na mokolo ya Saba, bakotaki na ndako ya mayangani mpe bavandaki.
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."
Sima na kotanga Mobeko mpe Basakoli, bakambi ya ndako ya mayangani batindelaki bango maloba: — Bandeko, soki bozali na maloba mpo na kolendisa bato, bokoki na bino koloba.
16 Paul stood up, and beckoning with his hand said, "Men of Israel, and you who fear God, listen.
Polo atelemaki, atombolaki loboko mpe alobaki: — Bato ya Isalaele mpe bino oyo bozali Bayuda te kasi botosaka Nzambe, boyoka ngai!
17 The God of this people Israel 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.
Nzambe ya bato ya Isalaele aponaki bakoko na biso, akomisaki bango ekolo monene na tango oyo bavandaki kati na mokili ya Ejipito lokola bapaya, mpe abimisaki bango na mokili yango na nguya monene.
18 For a period of about forty years he put up with them in the wilderness.
Mibu tuku minei mobimba, ayikelaki bango mpiko kati na esobe;
19 When he had destroyed seven nations in the land of Canaan, he gave them their land as an inheritance.
abebisaki bikolo sambo kati na mokili ya Kanana mpe apesaki mabele na bango lokola libula epai ya bato na Ye.
20 All this took about four hundred and fifty years. And after these things he gave them judges, until Samuel the prophet.
Makambo wana nyonso ewumelaki mibu pene nkama minei na tuku mitano. Sima na yango, Nzambe apesaki bango bilombe kino na tango ya mosakoli Samuele.
21 Afterward they asked for a king, and God gave to them Saul the son of Kish, a man of the tribe of Benjamin, for forty years.
Bongo, basengaki mokonzi, mpe Nzambe apesaki bango Saulo, mwana mobali ya Kisi, moto ya libota ya Benjame, oyo asalaki mibu tuku minei na bokonzi.
22 When he had removed him, he raised up David to be their king, to whom he also testified, 'I have found David the son of Jesse, a man after my heart, who will do all my will.'
Sima na Ye kolongola Saulo, akomisaki Davidi mokonzi na bango. Tala maloba oyo Nzambe atatolaki na tina na ye: « Namoni Davidi, mwana mobali ya Yese, moto oyo asepelisaka motema na ngai; akokokisa solo mokano na ngai nyonso. »
23 From this man's offspring, according to his promise, God has brought to Israel a Savior, Jesus,
Ezali wuta na libota ya Davidi nde Nzambe abimisaki, mpo na bana ya Isalaele, Mobikisi Yesu, ndenge alakaki.
24 before his coming, when John had first preached the baptism of repentance to all the people of Israel.
Liboso ete Yesu aya, Yoane ateyaki bato nyonso ya Isalaele ete babongola mitema mpe bazwa libatisi.
25 As John 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.'
Wana Yoane akomaki pene ya kosilisa mosala na ye, alobaki: « Bokanisi ete ngai nazali nani? Nazali te Moto oyo bozali kozela. Kasi azali koya sima na ngai, Ye oyo nabongi kutu te mpo na kofungola ata basinga ya basandale na Ye! »
26 Brothers, children of the stock of Abraham, and those among you who fear God, the word of this salvation is sent out to us.
Bandeko na ngai, bino oyo bozali bana ya Abrayami, mpe bino oyo bozali Bayuda te kasi botosaka Nzambe, ezali epai na biso nde Nzambe atindaki maloba oyo ya lobiko.
27 For those who dwell in Jerusalem, 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.
Bato ya Yelusalemi mpe bakambi na bango basosolaki te soki Yesu azali nani; basosolaki mpe te maloba ya basakoli oyo etangamaka mikolo nyonso ya Saba. Nzokande, tango bakatelaki Ye etumbu, bakokisaki nde masakoli yango.
28 Though they found no cause for death, they still asked Pilate to have him killed.
Atako bamonaki mabe moko te kati na Ye, mabe oyo ekokaki komemela Ye etumbu ya kufa, kasi basengaki kaka ete Pilato aboma Ye.
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.
Tango mpe bakokisaki makambo nyonso oyo ekomama na tina na Ye, bakitisaki Ye longwa na ekulusu mpe batiaki Ye kati na kunda.
30 But God raised him from the dead,
Kasi Nzambe asekwisaki Ye kati na bakufi,
31 and he was seen for many days by those who came up with him from Galilee to Jerusalem, who are his witnesses to the people.
mpe bato oyo basalaki mibembo elongo na Ye, longwa na Galile kino na Yelusalemi, bamonaki Ye mikolo ebele. Bazali sik’oyo batatoli na Ye epai ya bato na biso.
32 We bring you good news of the promise made to the fathers,
Tozali koyebisa bino sango malamu oyo: elaka oyo Nzambe apesaki na bakoko na biso,
33 that God has fulfilled for us, their children, in that he raised up Jesus. As it is also written in the second psalm, 'You are my Son. Today I have become your Father.'
Nzambe akokisi yango mpo na biso, bana na bango, na kosekwisa Yesu kati na bakufi, kolanda ndenge ekomama kati na Nzembo ya mibale: « Ozali Mwana na Ngai; na mokolo ya lelo, nakomi Tata na Yo. »
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 David.'
Nzambe asekwisaki Ye kati na bakufi mpo ete apola ata mokolo moko te. Kolanda ndenge Nzambe alobaki: « Nakopesa bino mapamboli ya bule mpe ya solo, oyo nalakaki Davidi. »
35 Therefore he says also in another psalm, 'You will not allow your Holy One to see decay.'
Yango wana, na eteni mosusu, elobamaki lisusu: « Okotika te Mosantu na Yo kopola. »
36 For David, after he had in his own generation served the counsel of God, fell asleep, and was placed with his fathers, and saw decay.
Nzokande, Davidi, sima na ye kokokisa mabongisi ya Nzambe na tango na ye, akufaki mpe akundamaki pembeni ya bakoko na ye; boye nzoto na ye epolaki.
37 But he whom God raised up saw no decay.
Kasi Ye oyo Nzambe asekwisaki apolaki te.
38 Be it known to you therefore, brothers, that through this man is proclaimed to you forgiveness of sins,
Yango wana, bandeko na ngai, nalingi boyeba ete ezali na nzela ya Yesu nde bolimbisi ya masumu esakolami epai na bino mpe bozwi bolimbisi ya masumu nyonso oyo Mobeko ya Moyize ekokaki te kokangola bino.
39 and by him everyone who believes is justified from all things, from which you could not be justified by the Law of Moses.
Ezali mpe na nzela ya Yesu nde moto nyonso oyo andimi akomi sembo.
40 So beware, lest what is said in the Prophets should come about:
Yango wana, bosala keba ete makambo oyo basakoli baloba ekomela bino te:
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.'"
« Bino batioli, botala, bokamwa mpe bolimwa, pamba te nakosala likambo moko na tango na bino, likambo oyo bokokaki kondima te soki bayebisaki bino yango. »
42 So when they went out they urged them to speak about these things on the next Sabbath.
Tango Polo mpe Barnabasi babimaki na ndako ya mayangani, bato basengaki bango kolobela lisusu makambo wana na mokolo ya Saba oyo elandaki.
43 Now when the synagogue broke up, many of the Jews and of the devout proselytes followed Paul and Barnabas; who, speaking to them, urged them to continue in the grace of God.
Tango mayangani esilaki, Bayuda mingi elongo na bato ya bikolo mosusu, oyo bakotaki na lingomba ya Bayuda mpe bazalaki kogumbamela Nzambe, balandaki Polo mpe Barnabasi oyo bazalaki kosolola na bango mpe kondimisa bango ete batikala ya kokangama makasi na ngolu ya Nzambe.
44 The next Sabbath almost the whole city was gathered together to hear the word of the Lord.
Na mokolo ya Saba oyo elandaki, bato ebele penza ya engumba bayaki kosangana mpo na koyoka Liloba na Nkolo.
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.
Kasi tango Bayuda bamonaki ebele ya bato, batondaki na zuwa; bakomaki koloba mabe na tina na makambo oyo Polo azalaki koloba, mpe bakomaki kofinga ye.
46 Paul and Barnabas 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)
Bongo, Polo mpe Barnabasi balobaki na bango na mpiko: — Tosengeli liboso koteya bino Liloba na Nzambe. Kasi lokola boboyi yango mpe bozali bino moko komimona ete bokoki te mpo na kozwa bomoi ya seko, tokeyi na biso sik’oyo epai ya bato oyo bazali Bayuda te. (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.'"
Pamba te, tala makambo oyo Nkolo atindaki biso: « Nakomisi yo pole mpo na bikolo mosusu, mpo ete omema lobiko kino na suka ya mokili. »
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)
Tango bato ya bikolo ya bapaya bayokaki bongo, basepelaki mpe bakomaki kokumisa Liloba na Nkolo; mpe bato nyonso oyo Nzambe abongisa mpo na kozwa bomoi ya seko bakomaki bandimi. (aiōnios g166)
49 The Lord's word was spread abroad throughout all the region.
Liloba na Nkolo epanzanaki na etuka wana mobimba.
50 But the Jews stirred up the devout women of prominence and the chief men of the city, and stirred up a persecution against Paul and Barnabas, and threw them out of their borders.
Kasi Bayuda batiaki songisongi epai ya basi ya lokumu oyo bazalaki kogumbamela Nzambe, mpe epai ya bato minene ya engumba wana; bapelisaki moto mpo ete Polo mpe Barnabasi banyokolama, mpe babenganaki bango wuta na mokili na bango.
51 But they shook off the dust of their feet against them, and came to Iconium.
Na bongo, Polo mpe Barnabasi bapupolaki putulu ya makolo na bango mpo na bato wana, mpe bakendeki na Ikoniomi.
52 The disciples were filled with joy with the Holy Spirit.
Nzokande, bayekoli batondaki na esengo mpe na Molimo Mosantu.
