Acts 11
1 Now the Apostles, and the brethren in various parts of Judaea, heard that the Gentiles also had received God's Message;
Bamvuala ayi bakhomba baba mu Yuda ziwa ti batu bobo bakambulu Bayuda mamvawu batambula mambu ma Nzambi.
2 and, when Peter returned to Jerusalem, the champions of circumcision found fault with him.
Vayi Piela bu kavutuka ku Yelusalemi, Bayuda bobo bawilukila bafindana yandi ziphaka
3 "You went into the houses of men who are not Jews," they said, "and you ate with them."
ayi bankamba: —Ngeyo wubedi kuidi batu bakambu zengoso nitu yi kibakala ayi wudidi yawu!
4 Peter, however, explained the whole matter to them from the beginning.
Vayi Piela wuba sudikisa mambu moso boso bu malandikinina; Wuba kamba:
5 "While I was in the town of Jaffa, offering prayer," he said, "in a trance I saw a vision. There descended what seemed to be an enormous sail, being let down from the sky by ropes at the four corners, and it came close to me.
—Bu ndiba sambila ku Yope, ndizamuka mu Pheve, ndimona tsongolo. Ndimona kima kimosi kiba banga nledi wunneni kikangu mu zitsongi ziya, kiba nkuluka tona ku diyilu nate va ndiba.
6 Fixing my eyes on it, I examined it closely, and saw various kinds of quadrupeds, wild beasts, reptiles and birds.
Bu ndikitala, ndikifiongunina, buna ndimona bibulu bi malu maya, bibulu bi nsitu, bibulu bindiatilanga mu bivumu ayi zinuni.
7 I also heard a voice saying to me, "'Rise, Peter, kill and eat.'
Ayi ndiwa mbembo yikhamba: “Piela, telama, vonda ayi dia”.
8 "'On no account, Lord,' I replied, 'for nothing unholy or impure has ever gone into my mouth.'
Vayi ndivutula: “Nana Pfumu, bila kadi kima kisumuka ayi kimvindu kikotidi ko mu munu ama.”
9 "But a voice answered, speaking a second time from the sky, "'What God has purified, you must not regard as unholy.'
Mbembo yiwakana diaka mu khumbu yimmuadi mu diyilu: “Kioki Nzambi kavedisa ngeyo kadi kukitala kisumuka”.
10 "This was said three times, and then everything was drawn up again out of sight.
Mu zikhumbu zitatu diambu diodi divangimina bosi bima bioso bikuma ku diyilu.
11 "Now at that very moment three men came to the house where we were, having been sent from Caesarea to find me.
Muna thangu beni ndimona batu batatu baba ku Sezali bafidusu kuidi minu, batelama va ntuala nzo yoyi ndiba.
12 And the Spirit told me to accompany them without any misgivings. There also went with me these six brethren who are now present, and we reached the Centurion's house.
Pheve yikhamba ndienda yawu mu kambu memata. Bakhomba basambanu ziazi ziyiza yama ayi tukota mu nzo yi mutu wuna.
13 Then he described to us how he had seen the angel come and enter his house and say, "'Send to Jaffa and fetch Simon, surnamed Peter.
Mutu beni wutukamba buevi kamonina mbasi mu nzoꞌandi, yimmonikina ayi yinkamba: “fidisa batu ku Yope, tumisa Simoni beti tedila Piela.
14 He will teach you truths by which you and all your family will be saved.'"
Niandi wela kukamba mambu malenda kuvukisa ngeyo ayi nzoꞌaku yimvimba.”
15 "And," said Peter, "no sooner had I begun to speak than the Holy Spirit fell upon them, just as He fell upon us at the first.
Bu nditona yoluka, Pheve Yinlongo yikuluka mu bawu banga bu yikulukila mu beto vana thonono.
16 Then I remembered the Lord's words, how He used to say, "'John baptized with water, but you shall be baptized in the Holy Spirit.'
Bosi nditebukila moyo mambu ma Pfumu mu thangu katuba ti: Nyinga, Yowani mu nlangu kabotikila vayi beno mu Pheve Yinlongo luela botokolo.
17 "If therefore God gave them the same gift as He gave us when we first believed on the Lord Jesus Christ, why, who was I to be able to thwart God?"
Enati niandi veka Nzambi wuba vana dikaba dimosi ayi beto mu thangu beto tuwilukila Pfumu Yesu Klisto, buna minu ndidi nani mu diambu di kandika Nzambi e?
18 This statement of Peter's silenced his opponents. They extolled the goodness of God, and said, "So, then, to the Gentiles also God has given the repentance which leads to Life."
Bu bawa mambu mama, baba dio sui, bakembisa Nzambi ayi batuba: —Nyinga, Nzambi wuveni diluaku kuidi batu bakambulu Bayudamu balula mavanga muingi batambula luzingu!
19 Those, however, who had been driven in various directions by the persecution which broke out on account of Stephen made their way to Phoenicia, Cyprus and Antioch, delivering the Message to none but Jews.
Bobo basasakana, mu thangu bayamisa dibundu mu diambu di lufua lu Etieni bayenda nate ku Fenisi, Sipeli ayi ku Antioshi. Vayi basia longa Nsamu Wumboti kadi kuidi mutu ko botula kaka Bayuda.
20 But some of them were Cyprians and Cyrenaeans, who, on coming to Antioch, spoke to the Greeks also and told them the Good News concerning the Lord Jesus.
Muaki mu batu bankaka, bayenda ku Antioshi muba basi Sipeli ayi basi Silene basolula ayi balonga Nsamu Wumboti wu Pfumu Yesu kuidi basi Ngelesi.
21 The power of the Lord was with them, and there were a vast number who believed and turned to the Lord.
Lulendo lu Pfumu luba yawu, batu bawombo bawilukila ayi babaluka kuidi Pfumu.
22 When tidings of this reached the ears of the Church in Jerusalem, they sent Barnabas as far as Antioch.
Tsangu beni yitula mu matu ma basi dibundu di Yelusalemi. Diawu bafidisila Balinabasi nate ku Antioshi.
23 On getting there he was delighted to see the grace which God had bestowed; and he encouraged them all to remain, with fixed resolve, faithful to the Lord.
Bu katula, wumona nlemvo wu Nzambi. Buna wumona khini bosi wukindisa batu boso muingi baba bakuikama mu Pfumu.
24 For he was a good man, and was full of the Holy Spirit and of faith; and the number of believers in the Lord greatly increased.
Bila Balinabasi wuba mutu wumboti, wuba wuwala mu Pheve Yinlongo ayi mu minu. Nkangu wunnene wu batu wuwilukila Pfumu.
25 Then Barnabas paid a visit to Tarsus to try to find Saul.
Bosi Balinabasi wuyenda ku Talisi mu tomba Sawuli.
26 He succeeded, and brought him to Antioch; and for a whole year they attended the meetings of the Church, and taught a large number of people. And it was in Antioch that the disciples first received the name of 'Christians.'
Buna kammona, wunnata ku Antioshi. Mvu wu mvimba bawu buadibakutikinina ayi dibundu, balonga nkangu wunneni. Ku Antioshi kuawu minlonguki mitedolo “Bankua Klisto” voti “Baklisto” mu khumbu yitheti.
27 At that time certain Prophets came down from Jerusalem to Antioch,
Muna bilumbu beni mimbikudi miba ku Yelusalemi miyenda ku Antioshi,
28 one of whom, named Agabus, being instructed by the Spirit, publicly predicted the speedy coming of a great famine throughout the world. (It came in the reign of Claudius.)
wumosi mu bawu, dizina diandi Agabusi, wutelama ayi wubikula mu Pheve ti kanda kingolo kiela ba mu tsi yimvimba. Kanda beni kiba mu thangu ntinu Klode.
29 So the disciples decided to send relief, every one in proportion to his means, to the brethren living in Judaea.
Diawu minlonguki mizenga, kadika mutu boso bubela diluaku diandi, mu fidisa lusadusu kuidi bakhomba baba kalanga mu Yuda.
30 This they did, forwarding their contributions to the Elders by Barnabas and Saul.
Buawu bobo mivangila. Mifidisa makaba mawu kuidi bakulutu ba dibundu mu mioko mi Balinabasi ayi Sawuli.
