Misala ya Bantoma 12
1 Na tango yango, mokonzi Erode akangaki ndambo ya bandimi ya Lingomba mpo na konyokola bango.
And at that time Herod the king, who was surnamed Agrippa, laid hands on some of the church, to maltreat them.
2 Abomaki kutu Jake, ndeko mobali ya Yoane, na mopanga.
And he killed James the brother of John with the sword.
3 Tango amonaki ete likambo yango ezalaki kosepelisa Bayuda, akangaki mpe Petelo na tango ya feti ya mapa ezanga levire.
And when he saw that this pleased the Jews, he proceeded also to arrest Simon Cephas. And the days of unleavened bread were then passing.
4 Sima na ye kokanga Petelo, atiaki ye kati na boloko mpe aponaki masanga minei ya basoda mpo ete bakengela ye; lisanga moko na moko ezalaki na basoda minei. Erode azalaki na makanisi ya kosambisa ye na miso ya bato sima na feti ya Pasika.
He seized him and cast him into prison, and delivered him to sixteen soldiers, who were to guard him; that he might, after the passover, deliver him up to the people of the Jews.
5 Petelo azalaki kati na boloko, kasi Lingomba ezalaki kobondela Nzambe na molende mpo na ye.
And while Simon was in custody in the prison, continual prayer to God in his behalf, was offered to God by the church.
6 Na butu ya mokolo oyo Erode alingaki kosambisa ye, Petelo alalaki pongi na kati-kati ya basoda mibale, akangama na minyololo mibale, mpe bakengeli bazalaki kobatela ekuke ya boloko.
And on the night before the morning in which he was to be delivered up, while Simon was sleeping between two soldiers, and was bound with two chains, and others were guarding the doors of the prison;
7 Mbala moko, anjelu ya Nkolo abimaki na pwasa, mpe pole engengaki kati na boloko. Anjelu aningisaki Petelo na mopanzi mpo na kolamusa ye; alobaki na ye: — Telema noki! Mpe minyololo ekweyaki longwa na maboko ya Petelo.
an angel of the Lord stood over him, and a light shone in all the building; and he pricked his side, and awaked him, and said to him: Arise, instantly. And the chains fell from his hands.
8 Anjelu alobaki na ye: — Lata elamba na yo, mokaba na yo mpe basandale na yo! Petelo asalaki bongo. Anjelu alobaki na ye lisusu: — Lata nzambala na yo mpe landa ngai.
And the angel said to him: Gird thy loins, and put on thy sandals. And he did so. And again he said to him: Wrap thyself in thy cloak, and come after me.
9 Petelo alandaki anjelu kino na libanda ya boloko, kasi ayebaki te ete makambo oyo anjelu azali kosala ezali penza ya solo: akanisaki ete azwi emoniseli.
And he went out and followed him, not knowing that what had been done by the angel was a reality; for he supposed, that he saw a vision.
10 Balekaki bakengeli ya liboso mpe ya mibale, mpe bakomaki na ekuke ya bibende oyo epesaka nzela ya kokota na engumba. Ekuke efungwamaki yango moko liboso na bango; bongo babimaki mpe batambolaki na balabala moko. Mpe mbala moko, anjelu atikaki Petelo.
And when the first ward was passed and the second, they came to the iron gate, and it opened to them of its own accord. And when they had gone out, and had passed one street, the angel departed from him.
11 Tango mayele na ye ya bomoto ezongaki, Petelo amilobelaki: — Ah, nasosoli sik’oyo, ezali penza ya solo! Nkolo atindaki anjelu na Ye mpe akangoli ngai na maboko ya Erode mpe na makambo nyonso oyo Bayuda balingaki kosala ngai.
Then Simon recognized where he was; and he said: Now I know, in reality, that God hath sent his angel, and delivered me from the hand of Herod the king, and from what the Jews were devising against me.
12 Tango amonaki bongo, akendeki na ndako ya Mari, mama ya Yoane oyo kombo na ye mosusu ezali « Malako. » Bandimi ebele basanganaki kuna mpe bazalaki kosambela.
And when he had considered, he went to the house of Mary, the mother of John surnamed Mark; because many brethren were assembled there and praying.
13 Petelo abetaki ekuke; mpe mwasi mosali moko, kombo na ye « Rode, » apusanaki na ekuke mpo na koyanola.
And he knocked at the gate of the court; and a maid named Rhoda came to reply to him.
14 Tango asosolaki ete ezali mongongo ya Petelo, atondaki na esengo; na esika ya kofungola ekuke, azongaki mbangu mpe agangaki: — Eh, ezali Petelo! Azali wana, na libanda, liboso ya ekuke!
And she recognized the voice of Simon: and, In her joy, she did not open to him the gate, but ran back, and told them: Lo, Simon is standing at the gate of the court.
15 Balobaki na ye: — Okomi penza na liboma! Kasi Rode azalaki kaka koloba: — Ya solo penza! Petelo azali na libanda. Bongo balobaki: — Ekoki kozala anjelu na ye!
They said to her: Thou art delirious. But she maintained that it was a fact. They said to her: Perhaps it is his ghost.
16 Nzokande, Petelo azalaki kokoba kobeta ekuke. Boye, tango bafungolaki ekuke mpe bamonaki ye, bakamwaki makasi.
And Simon was knocking at the gate; and they went out, saw him, and were astonished.
17 Petelo apepelaki bango loboko mpo ete bavanda kimia, mpe ayebisaki bango ndenge nini Nkolo abimisaki ye na boloko. Alobaki lisusu: — Boyebisa makambo oyo epai ya Jake mpe bandeko mosusu. Sima na yango, abimaki mpe akendeki na esika mosusu.
And he beckoned to them with the hand to be still; and he went in, and related to them how the Lord had released him from the prison. And he said to them: Tell these things to James and to the brethren. And he went out, and departed to another place.
18 Na tongo, mobulu monene ebimaki kati na basoda, pamba te bazalaki kotunana: — Likambo nini ekomelaki Petelo?
And when it was morning, there was a great dispute among the soldiers concerning Simon, what had become of him.
19 Erode atindaki bato koluka Petelo, kasi bamonaki ye te. Bongo, sima na ye kosambisa bakengeli, apesaki mitindo ete baboma bango. Sima na yango, Erode atikaki Yuda mpe akendeki kovanda mwa mikolo na Sezarea.
And Herod, when he sought him, and could not find him, arraigned the keepers, and sentenced them to die. And he went from Judaea, and resided at Caesarea.
20 Nzokande, Erode asilikelaki makasi bato ya Tiri mpe ya Sidoni. Bongo, bato ya Tiri mpe ya Sidoni bayokanaki mpe basengaki kokutana na Erode. Sima na bango kozwa lisungi ya Blasitisi, motambolisi misala ya shambre ya mokonzi, basengaki kimia kati na Erode mpe bango, pamba te bilei na bango ezalaki kowuta na mokili ya mokonzi Erode.
And because he was angry against the Tyrians and Sidonians, they assembled and came to him in a body; and having persuaded Blastus, the king's chamberlain, they begged of him that they might have peace; because the supplies of their country were derived from the kingdom of Herod.
21 Tango mokolo oyo akataki ekokaki, Erode alataki bilamba na ye ya bokonzi, avandaki na kiti na ye ya bokonzi mpe alobaki na bato.
And on a day appointed, Herod was arrayed in royal apparel, and sat on a tribunal, and made a speech to the assembly.
22 Bato bagangaki: — Tala yango oyo, mongongo ya nzambe; ezali mongongo ya moto te!
And all the people shouted, and said: These are the utterances of a God, and not of a mortal.
23 Mbala moko, anjelu ya Nkolo abetaki Erode mpo ete apesaki Nzambe lokumu te; boye bankusu eliaki ye, mpe akufaki.
And, because he gave not the glory to God, immediately the angel of God smote him; and he was eaten of worms, and died.
24 Kasi Liloba na Nzambe ekobaki kopanzana mpe kobota mbuma.
And the gospel of God was proclaimed, and made progress.
25 Sima na Barnabasi mpe Saulo kokokisa mosala na bango mpo na bolamu ya bandimi ya Yelusalemi, batikaki Yelusalemi mpe bamemaki, elongo na bango, Yoane oyo kombo na ye mosusu ezali « Malako. »
And Barnabas and Saul, after they had completed their ministration, returned from Jerusalem to Antioch. And they took with them John, who was surnamed Mark.
