Acts 16
1 Then he came to Derbe and Lystra: and behold, a certain disciple was there, named Timothy, the son of a certain woman who was a Jewess, and believed, but his father [was] a Greek.
Polo akomaki na Derbe mpe na Listre, epai wapi akutanaki na moyekoli moko, kombo na ye ezali « Timote. » Mama na ye azalaki Moyuda, kasi akomaki kondima Klisto; mpe tata na ye azalaki moto ya Grese.
2 Who was well reported of by the brethren that were at Lystra and Iconium.
Litatoli na ye ezalaki malamu kati na bandeko ya Listre mpe ya Ikoniomi.
3 Him would Paul have to go forth with him; and took and circumcised him, because of the Jews who were in those quarters: for they all knew that his father was a Greek.
Polo azalaki na posa ya kosala mobembo elongo na ye, boye akatisaki ye ngenga; pamba te Bayuda oyo bazalaki kovanda kuna bayebaki ete tata na ye azalaki moto ya Grese.
4 And as they went through the cities, they delivered to them the decrees to keep that were ordained by the apostles and elders who were at Jerusalem.
Kati na bingumba nyonso oyo bazalaki koleka, bazalaki koyebisa bandimi mikano oyo bantoma mpe bakambi ya Lingomba bazwaki na Yelusalemi, mpe bazalaki kosenga na bango ete batosa yango.
5 And so were the churches established in the faith, and increased in number daily.
Boye, Mangomba ezalaki kolendisama kati na kondima, mpe bato bazalaki kobakisama mokolo na mokolo.
6 Now when they had gone throughout Phrygia, and the region of Galatia, and were forbidden by the Holy Spirit to preach the word in Asia;
Lokola Molimo Mosantu apesaki bango nzela te ya koteya Liloba kati na etuka ya Azia, Polo elongo na baninga na ye bakendeki na etuka ya Friji mpe ya Galatia.
7 After they had come to Mysia, they essayed to go into Bithynia: but the Spirit suffered them not.
Tango bakomaki na mondelo ya Mizi, bazwaki likanisi ya kokende na Bitini, kasi Molimo ya Yesu apesaki bango nzela te.
8 And they, passing by Mysia, came down to Troas.
Boye bakatisaki etuka ya Mizi mpe bakendeki kino na libongo ya Troasi.
9 And a vision appeared to Paul in the night: There stood a man of Macedonia, and prayed him, saying, Come over into Macedonia, and help us.
Na butu, Polo azwaki emoniseli moko: « Moto moko ya Masedwane atelemaki liboso na ye mpe azalaki kobondela ye: ‹ Nabondeli yo, yaka kosunga biso kati na Masedwane! › »
10 And after he had seen the vision, immediately we endeavored to go into Macedonia, assuredly gathering, that the Lord had called us to preach the gospel to them.
Sima na Polo kozwa emoniseli, tolukaki mbala moko kokende na Masedwane, pamba te tososolaki ete ezali Nzambe nde abengi biso mpo ete tokende koteya kuna Sango Malamu.
11 Therefore loosing from Troas, we came with a straight course to Samothracia, and the next [day] to Neapolis;
Longwa na Troasi, tozwaki masuwa mpe tokendeki mbala moko kino na esanga ya Samotrase; bongo mokolo oyo elandaki, tokomaki na Neyapolisi.
12 And from thence to Philippi, which is the chief city of that part of Macedonia, [and] a colony: and we were in that city abiding certain days.
Kolongwa wana, tokendeki na Filipi, mboka mokonzi ya etuka ya Masedwane oyo ezalaki na se ya bokonzi ya bato ya Rome. Tovandaki kuna mwa mikolo.
13 And on the sabbath we went out of the city by a river side, where prayer was wont to be made; and we sat down, and spoke to the women who resorted [thither].
Na mokolo ya Saba, tobimaki na libanda ya ekuke ya engumba mpo na kokende pembeni ya ebale epai wapi tokanisaki ete tokomona esika ya losambo. Wana tovandaki, tokomaki koteya basi oyo basanganaki kuna.
14 And a certain woman named Lydia, a seller of purple, of the city of Thyatira, who worshiped God, heard [us]: whose heart the Lord opened, that she attended to the things which were spoken by Paul.
Kati na basi yango, ezalaki na mwasi moko, kombo na ye « Lidi. » Azalaki moteki ya bilamba ya motane, moto ya Tiyatire mpe mogumbameli ya Nzambe. Azalaki koyoka, mpe Nkolo afungolaki motema na ye mpo ete akangama na makambo oyo Polo azalaki koloba.
15 And when she was baptized, and her household, she besought [us], saying, If ye have judged me to be faithful to the Lord, come into my house, and abide [there]: And she constrained us.
Tango ye elongo na bato ya libota na ye bazwaki libatisi, abengisaki biso na ndako na ye; alobaki: — Soki bomoni ete ngai nakomi penza mondimi ya Nkolo, boya kovanda na ndako na ngai. Boye, asalaki nyonso mpo ete tondima kokende na ndako na ye.
16 And it came to pass as we went to prayer, a certain damsel possessed with a spirit of divination, met us, who brought her masters much gain by sooth-saying:
Mokolo moko, wana tozalaki kokende na esika ya losambo, tokutanaki na mwasi mowumbu moko oyo azalaki na molimo mabe oyo ezalaki kosunga ye mpo na kosakola makambo oyo ekoya, mpe azalaki kozwela bankolo na ye mbongo ebele na nzela ya masakoli na ye.
17 The same followed Paul and us, and cried, saying, These men are the servants of the most high God, who show to us the way of salvation.
Mwasi yango azalaki kolanda biso, Polo mpe biso, na koganga: — Bato oyo bazali basali ya Nzambe-Oyo-Aleki-Likolo, bazali koteya bino nzela ya lobiko.
18 And this she did many days. But Paul being grieved, turned and said to the spirit, I command thee in the name of Jesus Christ to come out of her. And he came out the same hour.
Lokola azalaki kosala bongo wuta mikolo ebele, suka na suka, Polo atombokaki, abalukaki mpe alobaki na molimo mabe yango: — Na Kombo na Yesu-Klisto, napesi yo mitindo: bima kati na mwasi oyo! Kaka na tango yango, molimo yango ebimaki kati na ye.
19 And when her masters saw that the hope of their gains was gone, they caught Paul and Silas, and drew [them] into the market-place to the rulers,
Tango bankolo ya mowumbu yango bamonaki ete elikya na bango ya kozwa mbongo ekeyi na mopepe, bakangaki Polo mpe Silasi, mpe bamemaki bango liboso ya bakonzi, na esika ya bato ebele.
20 And brought them to the magistrates, saying, These men, being Jews, do exceedingly trouble our city,
Bamemaki bango liboso ya basambisi mpe balobaki: — Bato oyo bazali Bayuda; bazali kotia mobulu kati na engumba na biso.
21 And teach customs which are not lawful for us to receive, neither to observe, being Romans.
Bazali koluka kokotisa awa bizaleli oyo mibeko epekisi biso, bato ya Rome, kondima mpe kosalela.
22 And the multitude rose together against them: and the magistrates rent off their clothes, and commanded to beat [them].
Bato oyo batondaki wana batombokelaki Polo mpe Silasi, bongo basambisi bapesaki mitindo ete balongola bango bilamba mpe babeta bango fimbu.
23 And when they had laid many stripes upon them, they cast [them] into prison, charging the jailer to keep them safely.
Sima na kobetisa bango fimbu makasi, babwakaki bango kati na boloko; bapesaki mitindo na mokengeli boloko ete akengela bango malamu.
24 Who, having received such a charge, thrust them into the inner prison, and made their feet fast in the stocks.
Tango kaka mokengeli azwaki mitindo oyo, abwakaki bango kati na boloko ya kati mpe akangisaki makolo na bango na mabaya.
25 And at midnight Paul and Silas prayed, and sang praises to God: and the prisoners heard them.
Pene na midi ya butu, Polo mpe Silasi bazalaki kosambela mpe kokumisa Nzambe na banzembo; bakangami mosusu bazalaki koyoka bango.
26 And suddenly there was a great earthquake, so that the foundations of the prison were shaken: and immediately all the doors were opened, and every one's bands were loosed.
Mbala moko, mabele eninganaki makasi, mpe miboko ya boloko eninganaki. Kaka na tango yango, miboko ya boloko ebukanaki, bikuke nyonso ya boloko efungwamaki, mpe minyololo ya bakangami nyonso ekatanaki.
27 And the keeper of the prison awaking out of his sleep, and seeing the prison doors open, he drew out his sword, and would have killed himself, supposing that the prisoners had fled.
Mokengeli boloko alamukaki; mpe tango amonaki ete bikuke ya boloko ezali ya kofungwama, abendaki mopanga na ye mpo ete amiboma, pamba te akanisaki ete bakangami bakimi.
28 But Paul cried with a loud voice, saying, Do thyself no harm: for we are all here.
Kasi Polo agangaki na mongongo makasi: — Komisala mabe te! Biso nyonso tozali awa!
29 Then he called for a light, and sprang in, and came trembling, and fell down before Paul and Silas;
Mokengeli boloko asengaki mwinda, akotaki mbangu kati na boloko, mpe amibwakaki liboso ya Polo mpe Silasi na kolenga makasi.
30 And brought them out, and said, Sirs, what must I do to be saved?
Bongo abimisaki bango libanda mpe atunaki bango: — Batata, nasala nini mpo ete nabika?
31 And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, and thy house.
Bazongisaki: — Ndima Nkolo Yesu, mpe okobika, yo mpe libota na yo.
32 And they spoke to him the word of the Lord, and to all that were in his house.
Bongo bateyaki ye mpe libota na ye Liloba na Nkolo.
33 And he took them the same hour of the night, and washed [their] stripes; and was baptized, he and all his, without delay.
Kaka na ngonga wana ya butu, mokengeli boloko azwaki bango elongo na ye mpe asukolaki bango bapota; bongo, mbala moko, ye mpe libota na ye bazwaki libatisi.
34 And when he had brought them into his house, he set food before them, and rejoiced, believing in God with all his house.
Sima, mokengeli boloko amemaki Polo mpe Silasi na ndako na ye, mpe apesaki bango bilei; mpe atondisamaki na esengo makasi, pamba te ye mpe bato nyonso ya libota na ye bandimelaki Nzambe.
35 And when it was day, the magistrates sent the sergeants, saying, Let those men go.
Tango tongo etanaki, basambisi batindaki basali na bango epai ya mokengeli boloko mpo na koyebisa ye: — Bimisa bato wana na boloko!
36 And the keeper of the prison told this saying to Paul, The magistrates have sent to let you go: now therefore depart, and go in peace.
Mokengeli boloko alobaki na Polo: — Basambisi bapesi ngai mitindo ete nabimisa bino na boloko. Boye sik’oyo, bobima mpe bokende na kimia.
37 But Paul said to them, They have beaten us openly uncondemned, being Romans, and have cast [us] into prison; and now do they thrust us out privately? no verily; but let them come themselves and bring us out.
Kasi Polo azongisaki: — Nini! Basambisi biso te, kasi babetisi biso fimbu na miso ya bato mpe babwaki biso na boloko, nzokande biso tozali bato ya Rome. Balingi sik’oyo kobimisa biso na nkuku? Te, ekosalema bongo te! Tika ete bango moko baya kobimisa biso!
38 And the sergeants told these words to the magistrates: and they feared when they heard that they were Romans.
Basali bakendeki koyebisa makambo yango epai ya basambisi. Tango kaka basambisi bayokaki ete Polo mpe Silasi bazali bato ya Rome, babangaki makasi.
39 And they came and besought them, and brought [them] out, and desired [them] to depart out of the city.
Bayaki kosenga bango bolimbisi, mpe babimisaki bango na boloko. Basengaki na bango ete balongwa na engumba wana.
40 And they went out of the prison, and entered into [the house of] Lydia: and when they had seen the brethren, they comforted them, and departed.
Sima na Polo mpe Silasi kobima na boloko, bakendeki na ndako ya Lidi, epai wapi bakutanaki na bandeko mpe balendisaki bango. Bongo, bazongelaki mobembo na bango.
