Misala ya Bantoma 11
1 Bantoma mpe bandimi oyo bazalaki kati na Yuda bayokaki sango ete bato ya bikolo ya bapaya mpe bandimaki Liloba na Nzambe.
And the apostles and the brethren who were in Judaea heard that the nations also had received the word of God;
2 Boye, tango Petelo azongaki na Yelusalemi, Bayuda oyo bandimelaki Yesu bapamelaki ye
and when Peter went up to Jerusalem, they of the circumcision contended with him,
3 mpe balobaki: — Okotaki na ndako ya bato ya bikolo ya bapaya mpe oliaki elongo na bango!
saying, Thou wentest in to men uncircumcised and hast eaten with them.
4 Petelo ayebisaki bango makambo nyonso, ndenge esalemaki; alobaki na bango:
But Peter began and set forth [the matter] to them in order, saying,
5 — Wana nazalaki kati na engumba Jafa mpe nazalaki kosambela, nakweyaki na Molimo mpe nazwaki emoniseli. Namonaki eloko moko lokola elamba monene basimba na basonge na yango minei kokita wuta na Likolo, mpe ekomaki kino na esika oyo nazalaki.
I was in the city of Joppa praying, and in an ecstasy I saw a vision, a certain vessel descending like a great sheet, let down by four corners out of heaven, and it came even to me:
6 Tango natalaki yango malamu, namonaki kati na yango banyama ya mabele, oyo ezali na makolo minei; banyama ya zamba, banyama oyo etambolaka na libumu mpe bandeke ya likolo.
on which having fixed mine eyes, I considered, and saw the quadrupeds of the earth, and the wild beasts, and the creeping things, and the fowls of the heaven.
7 Nayokaki mpe mongongo moko koloba na ngai: « Petelo, telema! Boma mpe lia. »
And I heard also a voice saying to me, Rise up, Peter, slay and eat.
8 Kasi nazongisaki: « Te, Nkolo! Natikala nanu kolia te eloko ya mbindo to ya bosoto. »
And I said, In no wise, Lord, for common or unclean has never entered into my mouth.
9 Mongongo yango elobaki lisusu, wuta na likolo, mpo na mbala ya mibale: « Eloko nyonso oyo Nzambe akomisi peto, yo, komona yango mbindo te! »
And a voice answered the second time out of heaven, What God has cleansed, do not thou make common.
10 Esalemaki bongo mbala misato. Bongo babendaki nyonso kati na Likolo.
And this took place thrice, and again all was drawn up into heaven;
11 Kaka na tango yango, bato misato bakomaki na ndako epai wapi nazalaki kovanda; batindaki bango epai na ngai longwa na Sezarea.
and lo, immediately three men were at the house in which I was, sent to me from Caesarea.
12 Molimo alobaki na ngai ete natia tembe te mpo na kokende elongo na bango. Bandeko motoba bakendeki elongo na ngai kino na Sezarea, mpe tokotaki na ndako ya moto yango.
And the Spirit said to me to go with them, nothing doubting. And there went with me these six brethren also, and we entered into the house of the man,
13 Moto yango ayebisaki biso ndenge nini amonaki anjelu kobimela ye kati na ndako na ye mpe koloba na ye: « Tinda bato, na Jafa, mpo bakende kobenga Simona oyo kombo na ye mosusu ezali Petelo.
and he related to us how he had seen the angel in his house, standing and saying [to him], Send [men] to Joppa and fetch Simon, who is surnamed Peter,
14 Akoyebisa yo maloba oyo, na nzela na yango, okozwa lobiko, yo mpe libota na yo mobimba! »
who shall speak words to thee whereby thou shalt be saved, thou and all thy house.
15 Wana nazalaki nanu koloba, Molimo Mosantu akitelaki bango ndenge kaka akitelaki biso na ebandeli.
And as I began to speak, the Holy Spirit fell upon them even as upon us also at the beginning.
16 Mbala moko, nakanisaki lisusu maloba oyo Nkolo alobaki: « Yoane abatisaki na mayi; kasi bino, bokobatisama kati na Molimo Mosantu. »
And I remembered the word of the Lord, how he said, John baptised with water, but ye shall be baptised with [the] Holy Spirit.
17 Soki Nzambe apesaki bango likabo ya ndenge moko na biso oyo tondimelaki Nkolo Yesu-Klisto, bongo ngai nde nani mpo ete nakoka koboya makambo oyo Nzambe alingi?
If then God has given them the same gift as also to us when we had believed on the Lord Jesus Christ, who indeed was I to be able to forbid God?
18 Tango bayokaki bongo, bazangaki maloba ya kobakisa, mpe bakomaki kokumisa Nzambe na maloba oyo: « Nzambe asali ete ata bato ya bikolo ya bapaya babongola mitema mpo bazwa bomoi. »
And when they heard these things they held their peace, and glorified God, saying, Then indeed God has to the nations also granted repentance to life.
19 Nzokande, bandimi oyo bapalanganaki mpo na kokima minyoko oyo eyaki tango babomaki Etieni, bakimaki kino na Fenisi, na Shipre mpe na Antioshe. Mpe kuna, bazalaki kosakola Sango Malamu epai ya moto mosusu te, kaka epai ya Bayuda.
They then who had been scattered abroad through the tribulation that took place on the occasion of Stephen, passed through [the country] to Phoenicia and Cyprus and Antioch, speaking the word to no one but to Jews alone.
20 Kasi bamosusu kati na bango, bato ya Shipre mpe ya Sirene, bakendeki na Antioshe mpe bakomaki koteya Sango Malamu ya Nkolo Yesu epai ya bato oyo balobaka lokota ya Greki.
But there were certain of them, Cyprians and Cyrenians, who entering into Antioch spoke to the Greeks also, announcing the glad tidings of the Lord Jesus.
21 Nguya ya Nkolo ezalaki elongo na bango, mpe bato ebele penza bandimaki mpe bamipesaki na Nkolo.
And [the] Lord's hand was with them, and a great number believed and turned to the Lord.
22 Sango yango ekomaki kino na Lingomba ya Yelusalemi, mpe batindaki Barnabasi, na Antioshe.
And the report concerning them reached the ears of the assembly which was in Jerusalem, and they sent out Barnabas to go through as far as Antioch:
23 Tango akomaki kuna mpe amonaki ndenge nini Nzambe apambolaki bango, asepelaki makasi mpe alendisaki bango nyonso ete bakangama makasi na Nkolo, na mitema na bango mobimba.
who, having arrived and seeing the grace of God, rejoiced, and exhorted all with purpose of heart to abide with the Lord;
24 Solo, Barnabasi azalaki moto malamu, azalaki atondisama na Molimo Mosantu mpe na kondima. Bato ebele bakangamaki na Nkolo.
for he was a good man and full of [the] Holy Spirit and of faith; and a large crowd [of people] were added to the Lord.
25 Bongo, Barnabasi akendeki na Tarse mpo na koluka Saulo;
And he went away to Tarsus to seek out Saul.
26 mpe tango amonaki ye, amemaki ye na Antioshe. Mobu mobimba, Barnabasi mpe Saulo basalaki elongo kati na Lingomba, mpe bateyaki bato ebele. Ezalaki na Antioshe nde bayekoli babengamaki, mpo na mbala ya liboso, Baklisto.
And having found [him], he brought him to Antioch. And so it was with them that for a whole year they were gathered together in the assembly and taught a large crowd: and the disciples were first called Christians in Antioch.
27 Na mikolo wana, ndambo ya basakoli bakendeki na Antioshe longwa na Yelusalemi.
Now in these days prophets went down from Jerusalem to Antioch;
28 Moko kati na bango, kombo na ye ezalaki « Agabisi; » atelemaki mpe asakolaki na nguya ya Molimo ete nzala makasi ekoya na bamboka nyonso oyo bato ya Rome bazali kokonza. Nzala yango ekotaki na tango ya mokonzi Klode.
and one from among them, by name Agabus, rose up and signified by the Spirit that there was going to be a great famine over all the inhabited earth, which also came to pass under Claudius.
29 Bayekoli oyo bazalaki kati na Antioshe bazwaki mokano ya kotinda masungi, moko na moko kolanda bozwi na ye, epai ya bandeko oyo bazalaki kovanda na Yuda.
And they determined, according as any one of the disciples was well off, each of them to send to the brethren who dwelt in Judaea, to minister [to them];
30 Basalaki bongo: batindaki masungi na bango epai ya bakambi ya Lingomba, na nzela ya Barnabasi mpe Saulo.
which also they did, sending it to the elders by the hand of Barnabas and Saul.
