Acts 4
1 While they were saying this to the people, the Priests, the Commander of the Temple Guard, and the Sadducees came upon them,
Wana Petelo mpe Yoane bazalaki nanu koloba na bato, Banganga-Nzambe, mokonzi ya bakengeli ya Tempelo mpe Basaduseo bayaki,
2 highly incensed at their teaching the people and proclaiming in the case of Jesus the Resurrection from among the dead.
na kanda makasi ndenge bamonaki bantoma koteya bato mpe kotatola ete bakufi bakosekwa ndenge Yesu asekwaki.
3 They arrested the two Apostles and lodged them in custody till the next day; for it was already evening.
Bakangaki Petelo mpe Yoane, bongo babwakaki bango na boloko kino na mokolo oyo elandaki, pamba te pokwa esilaki kokoma.
4 But many of those who had listened to their preaching believed; and the number of the adult men had now grown to be about 5,000.
Kasi kati na bato oyo bayokaki mateya, mingi bandimaki yango; bongo motango ya bandimi ebakisamaki mpe bakomaki bato pene nkoto mitano.
5 The next day a meeting was held in Jerusalem of their Rulers, Elders, and Scribes,
Boye, mokolo oyo elandaki, bakonzi ya Bayuda, bakambi ya bato mpe balakisi ya Mobeko basanganaki na Yelusalemi.
6 with Annas the High Priest, Caiaphas, John, Alexander, and the other members of the high-priestly family.
Ana, mokonzi ya Banganga-Nzambe, azalaki wana elongo na Kayifa, Yoane, Alekizandre mpe bato mosusu ya libota ya mokonzi ya Banganga-Nzambe.
7 So they made the Apostles stand in the centre, and demanded of them, "By what power or in what name have you done this?"
Bamemaki Petelo mpe Yoane liboso na bango, mpe bakomaki kotuna bango mituna: — Bozali kosala makambo oyo na nguya nini to na kombo ya nani?
8 Then Peter was filled with the Holy Spirit, and he replied, "Rulers and Elders of the people,
Bongo, Petelo oyo atondisamaki na Molimo Mosantu alobaki na bango: — Bakonzi mpe bakambi ya bato!
9 if we to-day are under examination concerning the benefit conferred on a man helplessly lame, as to how this man has been cured;
Lokola botuni biso lelo na tina na bolamu oyo esalemi epai ya mokufi makolo mpe ndenge nini asili kobika,
10 be it known to you all, and to all the people of Israel, that through the name of Jesus the Anointed, the Nazarene, whom you crucified, but whom God has raised from among the dead-- through that name this man stands here before you in perfect health.
tika ete, bino nyonso mpe bato nyonso ya Isalaele, boyeba ete ezali na Kombo na Yesu-Klisto ya Nazareti nde moto oyo atelemi liboso na bino na nzoto kolongono; kaka Yesu oyo bino bobakaki na ekulusu, kasi Nzambe asekwisaki Ye kati na bakufi.
11 This Jesus is the Stone treated with contempt by you the builders, but it has been made the Cornerstone.
Ye nde azali « libanga oyo bino, batongi ndako, bobwakaki, kasi ekomi libanga ya songe ya ndako, mpe esimbi ndako mobimba. »
12 And in no other is the great salvation to be found; for, in fact, there is no second name under Heaven that has been given among men through which we are to be saved."
Lobiko ekoki kozwama na moto mosusu te, pamba te kombo mosusu ezali te na mokili, oyo epesama na bato, oyo ekoki kobikisa biso.
13 As they looked on Peter and John so fearlessly outspoken--and also discovered that they were illiterate persons, untrained in the schools--they were surprised; and now they recognized them as having been with Jesus.
Wana bamonaki ndenge nini Petelo mpe Yoane bazalaki koloba na mpiko, mpe wana basosolaki ete bazali bato batanga te mpe bato pamba, bakamwaki mingi. Boye, basosolaki ete bango mpe bazalaki elongo na Yesu.
14 And seeing the man standing with them--the man who had been cured--they had no reply to make.
Kasi, lokola bazalaki komona moto oyo abikisamaki atelemi elongo na bango, bazalaki ata na liloba moko te ya koloba.
15 So they ordered them to withdraw from the Sanhedrin while they conferred among themselves.
Bongo, bapesaki mitindo ete babimisa bango na Likita-Monene; mpe batikalaki bango moko mpo na koyekola likambo yango malamu.
16 "What are we to do with these men?" they asked one another; for the fact that a remarkable miracle has been performed by them is well known to every one in Jerusalem, and we cannot deny it.
Bazalaki kotunana: — Tosala penza nini na bato oyo? Pamba te bavandi nyonso ya Yelusalemi bayebi malamu ete bango nde basalaki likamwisi wana ya monene; tokoki kowangana yango te.
17 But to prevent the matter spreading any further among the people, let us stop them by threats from speaking in the future in this name to any one whatever."
Kasi, mpo ete sango ya likambo oyo ekoba te kopanzana kati na bato, tokebisa bango boye: « Bomeka lisusu te koloba na Kombo na Yesu, ezala ata na nani! »
18 So they recalled the Apostles, and ordered them altogether to give up speaking or teaching in the name of Jesus.
Bongo, babengaki Petelo elongo na Yoane mpe bapekisaki bango ete bameka lisusu te koloba to koteya na Kombo na Yesu, ezala ata na lolenge nini.
19 But Peter and John replied, "Judge whether it is right in God's sight to listen to you instead of listening to God.
Kasi Petelo mpe Yoane bazongiselaki bango: — Botala nanu ata bino moko, eloko nini ezali sembo na miso ya Nzambe: kotosa bino to kotosa Nzambe?
20 As for us, what we have seen and heard we cannot help speaking about."
Pamba te biso, tokokoka te kotika koloba makambo oyo tomonaki mpe toyokaki!
21 The Court added further threats and then let them go, being quite unable to find any way of punishing them on account of the people, because all gave God the glory for the thing that had happened.
Sima na kogangela bango, batikaki bango mpo ete bakende, pamba te bamonaki te ndenge nini bakokaki kopesa bango etumbu, mpo ete bato nyonso bazalaki kokumisa Nzambe mpo na likambo oyo esalemaki.
22 For the man was over forty years of age on whom this miracle of restoration to health had been performed.
Pamba te moto oyo abikaki na ndenge ya kokamwa azalaki na mibu koleka tuku minei.
23 After their release the two Apostles went to their friends, and told them all that the High Priests and Elders had said.
Tango batikaki bango, Petelo mpe Yoane bakendeki koyebisa baninga na bango makambo nyonso oyo bakonzi ya Banganga-Nzambe mpe bakambi balobelaki bango.
24 And they, upon hearing the story, all lifted up their voices to God and said, "O Sovereign Lord, it is Thou who didst make Heaven and earth and sea, and all that is in them,
Tango bayokaki bongo, batombolaki mingongo na bango elongo mpo na kobondela Nzambe; balobaki: — Nkolo Yawe, Yo nde okela Likolo, mabele, ebale monene mpe nyonso oyo ezali kati na yango;
25 and didst say through the Holy Spirit by the lips of our forefather David Thy servant, "'Why have the nations stamped and raged, and the peoples formed futile plans?
Yo nde olobaki na nzela ya Molimo Mosantu, na monoko ya koko na biso, Davidi, mosali na yo: « Mpo na nini bikolo ezali kosala makelele, mpe bato bazali kosala makita ya pamba?
26 The kings of the earth came near, and the rulers assembled together against the Lord and against His Anointed.'"
Bakonzi ya mokili batomboki, mpe bakambi basangani mpo na kotelemela Nkolo mpe Mopakolami na Ye. »
27 "They did indeed assemble in this city in hostility to Thy holy Servant Jesus whom Thou hadst anointed--Herod and Pontius Pilate with the Gentiles and also the tribes of Israel--
Pamba te, Erode mpe Ponse Pilato basanganaki penza kati na engumba oyo, elongo na bato ya bikolo mosusu mpe bana ya Isalaele, mpo na kosalela Yesu likita, Mosali na Yo, Mosantu, oyo obulisa.
28 to do all that Thy power and Thy will had predetermined should be done.
Ezali ndenge wana nde bakokisaki mabongisi oyo osala wuta kala, na nguya mpe na mokano na Yo.
29 And now, Lord, listen to their threats, and enable Thy servants to proclaim Thy Message with fearless courage,
Sik’oyo Nkolo, tala ndenge bazali kotungisa biso, mpe pesa basali na Yo makasi ya koteya Liloba na Yo na molende nyonso.
30 whilst Thou stretchest out Thine arm to cure men, and to give signs and marvels through the name of Thy holy Servant Jesus."
Boye, sembola loboko na Yo mpo na kobikisa babeli, kosala bilembo ya kokamwa mpe misala minene, na Kombo na Yesu, Mosali na Yo, Mosantu.
31 When they had prayed, the place in which they were assembled shook, and they were, one and all, filled with the Holy Spirit, and proceeded to tell God's Message with boldness.
Boye, tango basilisaki kobondela, esika oyo basanganaki eninganaki; bango nyonso batondisamaki na Molimo Mosantu mpe bakomaki koteya Liloba na Nzambe na molende nyonso.
32 Among all those who had embraced the faith there was but one heart and soul, so that none of them claimed any of his possessions as his own, but everything they had was common property;
Bandimi nyonso bazalaki motema moko mpe makanisi moko. Moko te kati na bango azalaki koloba ete biloko na ye ezali kaka ya ye moko, kasi biloko nyonso ezalaki mpo na bango nyonso.
33 while the Apostles with great force of conviction delivered their testimony as to the resurrection of the Lord Jesus; and great grace was upon them all.
Bantoma bakobaki kotatola lisekwa ya Nkolo Yesu na nguya monene, mpe ngolu monene ezalaki na bango nyonso.
34 And, in fact, there was not a needy man among them, for all who were possessors of lands or houses sold them, and brought the money which they realised,
Moko te kati na bango akelelaki; pamba te bato oyo bazalaki na mabele to na bandako bazalaki koteka yango, bazalaki komema mbongo oyo batekelaki
35 and gave it to the Apostles, and distribution was made to every one according to his wants.
mpe kotia yango na makolo ya bantoma. Bantoma bazalaki kokabola yango na moto na moto, kolanda bosenga na ye.
36 In this way Joseph, whom the Apostles gave the name of Bar-nabas--signifying 'Son of Encouragement' --a Levite, a native of Cyprus,
Boye, Jozefi, moto ya libota ya Levi, oyo abotama na esanga Shipre mpe bantoma bapesaki ye kombo mosusu, Barnabasi oyo elakisi « molendisi, »
37 sold a farm which he had, and brought the money and gave it to the Apostles.
atekaki mpe elanga na ye mpe amemaki mbongo epai ya bantoma.
