Acts 16
1 And he came to Derbe and Lystra; and lo! a certain disciple was there, named Timothy, the son of a believing Jewess, but whose 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 who was well a spoken of by the brethren in Lystra and Iconium.
Bakhomba baba ku Lisitele ayi ku Ikoniumi zitelimina Timote kimbangi kimboti.
3 Him Paul wished to go forth with him, and took and circumcised him on account of the Jews who were in those places; 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 And as they journeyed through the cities, they delivered to them for their observance the decrees which had been ordained by the apostles and elders that were at Jerusalem.
Mu mavula moso baviokila, basamuna mambu mazenga bamvuala ayi bakulutu ba Yeluzalemi ayi baba lomba batumimina mambu beni.
5 The churches therefore were established in the faith, and increased in number daily.
Mabundu maba makinda mu minu ayi ntalu yi batu yibuelama lumbu ka lumbu.
6 And having gone through Phrygia and the Galatian country, on being forbidden by the Holy Spirit to preach the word in Asia,
Bosi basabuka Filingi ayi tsi yi Ngalatiya bila Pheve Yinlongo wuba kandika babika longa mambu ma Nzambi ku Azi.
7 they came to Mysia, and were attempting to go into Bithynia; but the Spirit of Jesus did not permit them.
Bu batula ku ndilu yi tsi yi Misi, bazola kuenda ku Bitini vayi Pheve yi Yesu yisia kuba vana minsua ko.
8 And passing by Mysia, they came to Troas.
Vayi bu baviokila ku Misi, bayenda ku Tolowasi.
9 And a vision appeared to Paul in the night. There stood a man of Macedonia beseeching 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 And when he had seen the vision, we immediately endeavored to go into Macedonia, concluding that the Lord had called us to publish the glad tidings 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 And setting sail from Troas, we came with a straight course to Samothrace, and on the day following to Neapolis;
Tukota mu masuwa ku Tolowasi bosi tuyenda ku sanga ki Samotalasi. Mu lumbu kilanda, tutula ku Neyapolisi.
12 and thence to Philippi, which is a chief city of the province of Macedonia, a colony. And we remained in the city some days.
Bosi tuyenda ku Filipi, divula dimosi dinneni di Maseduani diba mu mioko mi luyalu lu basi Loma. Bilumbu biwombo tukadila kuna.
13 And on the sabbath-day we went forth out of the gate to a river-side, where was wont to be a place of prayer, and we sat down, and spoke to the women who had assembled.
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 And a certain woman named Lydia, a seller of purple, of the city of Thyatira, who worshipped God, was listening; whose heart the Lord opened to attend 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 And when she had been baptized, and her household, she besought us, saying, If ye have judged me to be a believer in the Lord, come into my house, and abide. And she constrained 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 And it came to pass, as we were going to the place of prayer, that a certain bond-maid having a soothsaying spirit met us, who brought her masters much gain by soothsaying.
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 This woman followed Paul and us, and cried, saying, These men are the servants of the most high God, who announce 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 And this she did for many days. But Paul, being much displeased, turned and said to the spirit, I command thee in the name of Jesus Christ to come out of her. And it came out immediately.
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 her masters seeing that the hope of their gain was gone, laid hold of Paul and Silas, and dragged them into the market-place to 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 and having brought them before the magistrates, said, These men are grievously disturbing our city, being Jews;
Baba funda kuidi bapfumu zi ntiliminadu ayi batuba: —Batu baba badi Bayuda, balembo tudi divunzi mu divula dieto.
21 and they teach customs which it is not lawful for us Romans to receive or observe.
Balembo longi khadulu yoyi beto basi Loma tulendi kikinina ko ayi tulendi sadila ko.
22 And the multitude rose up together against them, and the magistrates, tearing off their clothes, commanded to beat them with rods;
Nkangu wu batu wufuemina Polo ayi Sila. Buna bapfumuzi ntiliminadu zituma babavula minledi ayi bababeta bikoti.
23 and when they had laid on them many stripes, they cast 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 charge, thrust them into the inner prison, and made their feet fast 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 at midnight Paul and Silas praying, were singing praises 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 And suddenly there was a great earthquake, so that the foundations of the prison were shaken; and all the doors were immediately opened, and the bands of all were loosed.
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 And the jailer awakening 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 cried with a loud voice, saying, Do thyself no harm, for we are all here.
Vayi Polo wuyamikina mu mbembo yingolo: —Bika kukivanga mbimbi, bila beto boso tuidi vava!
29 Then he called for a light, 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 having brought them out, he said, Sirs, what must I do to be saved?
Wuba totula ku nganda ayi wuba yuvula: —A bamueni, mbi phanga muingi ndivuka e?
31 And they said, Believe in the Lord Jesus, and thou wilt be saved, and thy household.
Bamvutudila: —Wilukila Pfumu Yesu, buna mawu vuka ngeyo ayi nzo aku!
32 And they spoke to him the word of the Lord, and to all that were in his house.
Banlonga mambu ma Pfumu ayi batu boso baba mu nzoꞌandi.
33 And he took them with him at that hour of the night, and washed their stripes; and he was immediately baptized, himself and all that belonged to him.
Muna builu, muna thangu beni, nsungi wu nloko wusukula ziphuta ziawu. Niandi wubotama va kimosi ayi nzo andi yoso.
34 And when he had brought them up into his house, he set food before them, and rejoiced with all his house, having become a believer in God.
Wunata Polo ayi Sila ku nzoꞌandi, wuba vana bidia. Nzo andi yoso yimonakhini mu diambu bawilukila Nzambi.
35 And when it was day, the magistrates sent the sergeants, saying, Release those men.
Va nsuka, bapfumu zituma batu muingi bakamba nsungi wu nloko: —Yekula batu beni!
36 And the jailer reported these words to Paul: The magistrates have sent to release you; 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 publicly beaten us uncondemned, although we are Romans, and have thrust us into prison; and now do they thrust us out secretly? No; but 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 And 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 besought them; and when they had brought them out, they entreated them to leave the city.
Bayenda kuna nloko, baleba Polo ayi Sila; babatotula ayi babalombababotuka mu divula dina.
40 And when they had come out of the prison, they went into the house of Lydia; and when they saw the brethren, they exhorted them, and departed.
Polo ayi Sila bu batotuka mu nloko, bayenda ku nzo Lidi. Kunabamona bakhomba ayi babakindisa. Bosi bayenda kuawu.
