Acts 1
1 The former treatise have I made, O Theophilus, of all that Jesus began both to do and teach,
Teofile: Kati na buku na ngai ya liboso, nakomaki makambo nyonso oyo Yesu asalaki mpe ateyaki wuta na ebandeli
2 Until the day in which he was taken up, after that he through the Holy Spirit had given commandments to the apostles whom he had chosen:
kino na mokolo oyo amemamaki na Likolo, sima na Ye kopesa mitindo, na nzela ya Molimo Mosantu, epai ya bantoma oyo aponaki.
3 To whom also he showed himself alive after his passion, by many infallible proofs, being seen by them forty days, and speaking of the things pertaining to the kingdom of God:
Sima na kufa na Ye, amimonisaki epai na bango; mpe na nzela ya bilembo mingi, alakisaki bango ete azali na bomoi. Abimelaki bango mikolo tuku minei mpe alobelaki bango makambo oyo etali Bokonzi ya Nzambe.
4 And being assembled with [them], commanded them that they should not depart from Jerusalem, but wait for the promise of the Father, which, [saith he], ye have heard from me.
Mokolo moko, wana azalaki kolia elongo na bango, apesaki bango mitindo oyo: « Bolongwa na Yelusalemi te, kasi bozela likabo oyo Tata na Ngai alakaki, likabo oyo boyokaki Ngai kolobela.
5 For John truly baptized with water; but ye shall be baptized with the Holy Spirit not many days hence.
Pamba te Yoane abatisaki na mayi; kasi bino, sima na mwa mikolo, bokobatisama kati na Molimo Mosantu. »
6 When they therefore were come together, they asked of him, saying, Lord, wilt thou at this time restore again the kingdom to Israel?
Lokola basanganaki zingazinga na Ye, batunaki Ye: — Nkolo, ekozala na tango wana nde okozongisa Bokonzi epai ya Isalaele?
7 And he said to them, It is not for you to know the times or the seasons, which the Father hath put in his own power.
Yesu azongiselaki bango: — Likambo ya koyeba tango to mikolo oyo Tata abongisa, na mokano na Ye moko, etali bino te.
8 But ye shall receive power after the Holy Spirit is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses to me, both in Jerusalem, and in all Judea, and in Samaria, and to the uttermost part of the earth.
Kasi bokozwa nguya, wana Molimo Mosantu akokitela bino; mpe bokozala batatoli na Ngai kati na Yelusalemi, na etuka mobimba ya Yuda, ya Samari, mpe kino na basuka ya mokili.
9 And when he had spoken these things, while they beheld, he was taken up; and a cloud received him out of their sight.
Sima na Yesu koloba bongo, amemamaki, wana bazalaki kotala, mpe lipata moko ezipaki Ye na miso na bango.
10 And while they looked steadfastly towards heaven as he went up, behold, two men stood by them in white apparel;
Mpe wana bazalaki nanu kotala na likolo ndenge Yesu azali komata, mbala moko bato mibale balata bilamba ya pembe-pembe batelemaki pembeni na bango mpe balobaki:
11 Who also said, Ye men of Galilee, why stand ye gazing up to heaven? this same Jesus who is taken from you into heaven, shall so come in like manner as ye have seen him go into heaven.
— Bato ya Galile, mpo na nini botikali awa na kotala na likolo? Yesu oyo alongwe kati na bino mpo na kokende na Likolo, akozonga ndenge kaka bomoni Ye kokende na Likolo.
12 Then they returned to Jerusalem, from the mount called Olivet, which is from Jerusalem a sabbath day's journey.
Bantoma bazongaki na Yelusalemi wuta na ngomba oyo babengaka Ngomba ya banzete ya Olive, oyo ezali pene ya Yelusalemi, na mosika ya bametele pene nkoto moko.
13 And when they had come in, they went into an upper room, where abode both Peter, and James, and John, and Andrew, Philip, and Thomas, Bartholomew, and Matthew, James [the son] of Alpheus, and Simon Zelotes, and Judas [the brother] of James.
Tango bakomaki, bamataki na shambre ya likolo, kati na etaje epai wapi bazalaki kosangana mbala na mbala. Ezalaki: Petelo, Yoane, Jake, Andre, Filipo, Toma, Bartelemi, Matayo; Jake, mwana mobali ya Alife; Simona oyo azalaki moto ya lingomba ya Bazelote; mpe Jide, mwana mobali ya Jake.
14 These all continued with one accord in prayer and supplication, with the women, and Mary the mother of Jesus, and with his brethren.
Bango nyonso, na motema moko, bazalaki na molende ya kosangana mbala na mbala mpo na kosambela elongo na basi, elongo na Mari, mama ya Yesu, mpe elongo na bandeko ya Yesu.
15 And in those days Peter stood up in the midst of the disciples, and said (the number of the names together were about a hundred and twenty, )
Mokolo moko kati na mikolo yango, Petelo atelemaki kati na bandimi pene nkama moko na tuku mibale
16 Men, brethren, This scripture must needs have been fulfilled, which the Holy Spirit by the mouth of David spoke before concerning Judas, who was guide to them that took Jesus.
mpe alobaki na bango: « Bandeko na ngai, esengelaki ete masakoli ya Makomi ekokisama; pamba te Molimo Mosantu aloba wuta kala, na nzela ya Davidi, na tina na Yuda oyo atambolisaki bato oyo bakangaki Yesu.
17 For he was numbered with us, and had obtained part of this ministry.
Azalaki moko kati na biso mpe asanganaki elongo na biso kati na lotomo oyo epesamelaki biso. »
18 Now this man purchased a field with the reward of iniquity; and falling headlong, he burst asunder in the midst, and all his bowels gushed out.
Na nzela ya mbongo oyo azwaki lokola lifuti ya mabe na ye, asombaki elanga; akweyaki kuna moto na se, libumu na ye epasukaki, mpe misopo na ye nyonso epanzanaki.
19 And it was known to all the dwellers at Jerusalem; so that that field is called in their proper tongue, Aceldama, that is to say, The field of blood.
Bato nyonso ya Yelusalemi bayokaki sango yango; yango wana bakomaki kobenga elanga yango « Akelidama » oyo elingi koloba, na lokota na bango: Elanga ya makila.
20 For it is written in the book of Psalms, Let his habitation be desolate, and let no man dwell in it: and, His bishopric let another take.
Nzokande, ekomama boye kati na buku ya banzembo: « Tika ete ndako na ye etikala polele, mpe tika ete moto moko te avanda kati na yango! » Mpe: « Tika ete moto mosusu azwa mokumba na ye! »
21 Wherefore, of these men who accompanied us, all the time that the Lord Jesus went in and out among us,
Boye, tosengeli kopona moto moko kati na mibali oyo bazalaki elongo na biso tango nyonso oyo Nkolo Yesu azalaki kotambola na mokili elongo na biso,
22 Beginning from the baptism of John, to that same day that he was taken up from us, must one be ordained to be a witness with us of his resurrection.
kobanda na tango oyo Yoane abatisaki Ye kino na mokolo oyo balongolaki Ye kati na biso. Pamba te moko kati na mibali yango asengeli kokoma, elongo na biso, motatoli ya lisekwa na Ye.
23 And they appointed two, Joseph called Barsabas, who was surnamed Justus, and Matthias.
Bapesaki bakombo ya bato mibale: Jozefi oyo babengaki « Barsabasi » mpe ayebanaki lisusu na kombo Yusitusi, mpe Matiasi.
24 And they prayed, and said, Thou, Lord, who knowest the hearts of all [men], show which of these two thou hast chosen,
Bongo basambelaki boye: « Oh Nkolo, Yo oyo oyebi mitema ya bato nyonso, lakisa biso nani oyo oponi kati na bato oyo mibale,
25 That he may take part of this ministry and apostleship, from which Judas by transgression fell, that he might go to his own place.
mpo ete akoma ntoma mpe azwa, kati na lotomo oyo ya bontoma, esika oyo Yuda atikaki mpo na kokende na esika oyo ebongi na ye. »
26 And they gave forth their lots; and the lot fell upon Matthias; and he was numbered with the eleven apostles.
Bongo babetaki zeke, mpe zeke ekweyaki epai ya Matiasi; boye Matiasi aponamaki, mpe babakisaki ye na lisanga ya bantoma zomi na moko.
