Misala ya Bantoma 14
1 Na engumba Ikoniomi, Polo mpe Barnabasi bakendeki, lokola momesano, na ndako ya mayangani ya Bayuda; bateyaki kuna, mpe bato ebele, Bayuda mpe bato ya bikolo ya bapaya, bakomaki bandimi.
In Iconium, they entered together into the synagogue of the Jews, and so spoke that a great multitude both of Jews and of Greeks believed.
2 Kasi Bayuda oyo baboyaki kondimela batiaki songisongi epai ya bato ya bikolo ya bapaya mpo ete batombokela bandeko.
But the disbelieving Jews stirred up and embittered the souls of the Gentiles against the brothers.
3 Polo mpe Barnabasi bawumelaki kuna mikolo ebele, bazalaki koteya na mpiko, pamba te bazalaki na elikya kati na Nkolo; mpe Nkolo azalaki kokokisa bosolo ya mateya ya ngolu na Ye na kopesaka bango nguya ya kosala bilembo ya kokamwa mpe misala minene.
Therefore they stayed there a long time, speaking boldly in the Lord, who testified to the word of his grace, granting signs and wonders to be done by their hands.
4 Bato ya engumba yango bakabwanaki: ndambo bazalaki sima na Bayuda, mpe ndambo mosusu, sima na bantoma.
But the multitude of the city was divided. Part sided with the Jews and part with the apostles.
5 Bato ya bikolo ya bapaya mpe Bayuda, elongo na bakambi na bango, bazwaki mokano ya konyokola bantoma mpe koboma bango na mabanga;
When some of both the Gentiles and the Jews, with their rulers, made a violent attempt to mistreat and stone them,
6 kasi tango bantoma basosolaki yango, bakimaki na bingumba ya Likawoni: Listre, Derbe mpe bazingazinga na yango.
they became aware of it and fled to the cities of Lycaonia, Lystra, Derbe, and the surrounding region.
7 Kuna mpe lisusu, bakobaki kaka koteya Sango Malamu.
There they preached the Good News.
8 Kati na engumba Listre, ezalaki na moto moko akufa makolo. Wuta mbotama na ye, atikala kotambola te.
At Lystra a certain man sat, impotent in his feet, a cripple from his mother’s womb, who never had walked.
9 Azalaki koyoka ndenge Polo azalaki koteya. Polo atalaki ye malamu, amonaki ete azali na kondima mpo na kobikisama
He was listening to Paul speaking, who, fastening eyes on him and seeing that he had faith to be made whole,
10 mpe alobaki na ye na mongongo makasi: — Telema ngwi na makolo na yo! Mbala moko, moto yango apumbwaki mpe akomaki kotambola.
said with a loud voice, “Stand upright on your feet!” He leaped up and walked.
11 Tango ebele ya bato bamonaki makambo oyo Polo asalaki, bagangaki na lokota ya bato ya Likawoni: — Banzambe bazwi banzoto ya bato mpe bakiteli biso!
When the multitude saw what Paul had done, they lifted up their voice, saying in the language of Lycaonia, “The gods have come down to us in the likeness of men!”
12 Kombo oyo babengaki na yango Barnabasi ezali « Zewusi, » mpe kombo oyo babengaki na yango Polo ezali « Erimesi, » pamba te Polo nde azalaki koloba.
They called Barnabas “Jupiter”, and Paul “Mercury”, because he was the chief speaker.
13 Nganga-nzambe ya nzambe Zewusi, oyo ndako ya nzambe na ye ezalaki na libanda ya ekuke ya engumba, amemaki na bikuke ya engumba bangombe ya mibali elata bafololo mpe bililingi elingama-lingama lokola basheni, pamba te ye mpe bato nyonso oyo bazalaki elongo na ye balingaki kotumbela bango mbeka.
The priest of Jupiter, whose temple was in front of their city, brought oxen and garlands to the gates, and would have made a sacrifice along with the multitudes.
14 Kasi tango bantoma, Barnabasi mpe Polo, bayokaki sango ya likambo yango, bapasolaki bilamba na bango, bakendeki mbangu epai ebele ya bato bazalaki na koganga:
But when the apostles, Barnabas and Paul, heard of it, they tore their clothes and sprang into the multitude, crying out,
15 — Oh baninga, mpo na nini bozali kosala boye? Biso mpe tozali kaka bato lokola bino. Soki tozali koteya bino Sango Malamu, ezali mpo ete botika banzambe ya bikeko oyo ezanga tina mpe bomipesa na Nzambe na bomoi oyo asala Likolo, mabele, ebale monene mpe nyonso oyo ezali kati na yango.
“Men, why are you doing these things? We also are men of the same nature as you, and bring you good news, that you should turn from these vain things to the living God, who made the sky, the earth, the sea, and all that is in them;
16 Na tango ya kala, Nzambe atikaki ete bato ya bikolo nyonso balanda nzela oyo bango moko balingi.
who in the generations gone by allowed all the nations to walk in their own ways.
17 Nzokande, atikalaki kolemba te kotalisa bolamu na Ye, na nzela ya konokisela bango mvula kowuta na likolo, kopesa bango bambuma ebele na tango na yango, mpe kopesa bango bilei ebele mpe kotondisa mitema na bango na esengo.
Yet he didn’t leave himself without witness, in that he did good and gave you rains from the sky and fruitful seasons, filling our hearts with food and gladness.”
18 Atako balobaki bongo, balongaki na pasi kopekisa ebele ya bato wana kobonzela bango mbeka.
Even saying these things, they hardly stopped the multitudes from making a sacrifice to them.
19 Bongo, Bayuda oyo bawutaki na Antioshe mpe na Ikoniomi batiaki songisongi kati na bato mpo ete batombokela bango. Babambaki Polo mabanga, mpe babendaki ye kino na libanda ya engumba, pamba te bakanisaki ete akufi.
But some Jews from Antioch and Iconium came there, and having persuaded the multitudes, they stoned Paul and dragged him out of the city, supposing that he was dead.
20 Kasi tango bayekoli bazingelaki Polo, atelemaki mpe azongaki kati na engumba. Bongo mokolo oyo elandaki, akendeki na Derbe elongo na Barnabasi.
But as the disciples stood around him, he rose up, and entered into the city. On the next day he went out with Barnabas to Derbe.
21 Sima na Polo mpe Barnabasi koteya Sango Malamu kati na engumba wana mpe kokomisa bato ebele bayekoli, bazongaki lisusu na Listre, na Ikoniomi mpe na Antioshe;
When they had preached the Good News to that city and had made many disciples, they returned to Lystra, Iconium, and Antioch,
22 bazalaki kolendisa bayekoli ete bayika mpiko kati na kondima. Bazalaki koloba: — Tosengeli komona pasi mingi mpo na kokota na Bokonzi ya Nzambe.
strengthening the souls of the disciples, exhorting them to continue in the faith, and that through many afflictions we must enter into God’s Kingdom.
23 Polo mpe Barnabasi baponaki bakambi mpo na Lingomba moko na moko mpe, sima na bango kosambela mpe kokila bilei, bakabaki bango na maboko ya Nkolo oyo bandimelaki.
When they had appointed elders for them in every assembly, and had prayed with fasting, they commended them to the Lord on whom they had believed.
24 Sima na bango koleka etuka ya Pisidi, bakomaki na Pafili.
They passed through Pisidia and came to Pamphylia.
25 Bateyaki Liloba kati na Perje mpe, sima na yango, bakendeki na libongo ya Atalia.
When they had spoken the word in Perga, they went down to Attalia.
26 Wuta na Atalia, bakotaki na masuwa mpe bazongaki na Antioshe epai wapi batikaki bango na se ya ngolu ya Nzambe, mpo na mosala oyo bawutaki kokokisa.
From there they sailed to Antioch, from where they had been committed to the grace of God for the work which they had fulfilled.
27 Tango bakomaki kuna, basangisaki bato ya Lingomba, bapesaki bango sango ya makambo nyonso oyo Nzambe asalaki na nzela na bango mpe ndenge nini afungolelaki bato ya bikolo ya bapaya nzela ya kondima.
When they had arrived and had gathered the assembly together, they reported all the things that God had done with them, and that he had opened a door of faith to the nations.
28 Mpe bawumelaki wana tango molayi elongo na bayekoli.
They stayed there with the disciples for a long time.
