Misala ya Bantoma 15
1 Ndambo ya bato bawutaki na Yuda mpe bakomaki na Antioshe, mpe bakomaki koteya bandeko: — Soki bokatisi ngenga te kolanda Mobeko ya Moyize, bokoki te kozwa lobiko.
In the meantime, some, who came down from Judea, taught the brethren, Except you be circumcised, according to the manner of Moses, you can not be saved.
2 Polo mpe Barnabasi batelemelaki bato wana; bongo kobendana makasi ekotaki kati na bango na tina na likambo yango. Boye, bazwaki mokano ete Polo, Barnabasi mpe ndambo ya bandimi mosusu bakende na Yelusalemi elongo na bantoma mpe bakambi ya Lingomba mpo na kolobela likambo yango.
There being, therefore, a contention, and no small debate with them, on the part of Paul and Barnabas; they resolved that Paul and Barnabas, and some others of their number, should go up to the Apostles and elders at Jerusalem, about this question.
3 Lingomba esungaki bango mpo na mobembo. Wana bakatisaki Fenisi mpe Samari, bazalaki koloba ndenge nini bato ya bikolo ya bapaya bazalaki kobongola mitema. Sango oyo ezalaki kopesa bandeko nyonso esengo.
They, therefore, being brought forward on their journey, by the congregation, went through Phenicia and Samaria, relating the conversion of the Gentiles; and they occasioned great joy to all the brethren.
4 Tango bakomaki na Yelusalemi, Lingomba, bantoma mpe bakambi bayambaki bango; mpe Polo elongo na Barnabasi bapesaki bango sango ya makambo nyonso oyo Nzambe asalaki na nzela na bango.
And being arrived at Jerusalem, they were received by the congregation, and by the Apostles and elders: and they related what things God had done with them.
5 Ndambo ya bandimi oyo bazalaki kala Bafarizeo batelemaki mpo na koloba: — Bato ya bikolo ya bapaya basengeli kokatama ngenga, mpe esengeli kotinda bango kotosa Mobeko ya Moyize.
But some of the sect of the Pharisees that believed, rose up and said, that it was necessary to circumcise them, and to charge them to keep the law of Moses.
6 Bantoma mpe bakambi basanganaki mpo na koyekola malamu likambo yango.
And the Apostles and elders were gathered together to consult upon this affair.
7 Lokola tembe elekaki makasi, Petelo atelemaki mpe alobaki: — Bandeko na ngai, boyebi malamu ete Nzambe apona ngai wuta kala kati na bino mpo ete nakoka koteya Sango Malamu epai ya bato ya bikolo ya bapaya, mpo ete bango mpe bakoka koyoka yango mpe bakoma bandimi.
And after much debate, Peter rose up and said to them, Brethren, you know that, some considerable time since, God among us, chose, that the Gentiles, by my mouth, should hear the word of the gospel, and believe.
8 Bongo, Nzambe oyo ayebi mitema ya bato alakisaki ete andimaki bango na nzela ya kopesa bango Molimo Mosantu, ndenge kaka apesaki biso.
And God, who knows the heart, bore witness to them, giving them the Holy Spirit, even as he did to us:
9 Asalaki bokeseni te kati na biso mpe bango, pamba te akomisaki mitema na bango peto na nzela ya kondima.
and made no distinction between us and them, having purified their hearts by faith.
10 Bongo mpo na nini bolingi sik’oyo komeka Nzambe, na nzela ya koluka komemisa bayekoli oyo, mokumba oyo tolongaki te komema, ezala biso to batata na biso?
Now, therefore, why do you tempt God by imposing on the neck of the disciples a yoke which neither our fathers nor we have been able to bear?
11 Te! Biso tondimaka ete tobiki na ngolu ya Nkolo Yesu, ndenge moko kaka na bango.
But we believe that we are saved by the grace of the Lord Jesus, in the same manner as they.
12 Lisanga mobimba evandaki kimia wana bazalaki koyoka Barnabasi mpe Polo koyebisa bango bikamwa mpe bilembo oyo Nzambe asalaki na nzela na bango, kati na bato ya bikolo ya bapaya.
And the whole multitude kept silence, and attended to Barnabas and Paul; relating what signs and wonders God had done among the heathen, by them.
13 Tango basilisaki koloba, Jake azwaki maloba mpe alobaki: — Bandeko, boyoka ngai!
Then after they had done speaking, James answered, saying, Brethren, hearken to me.
14 Simona awuti koyebisa biso ndenge nini, wuta na ebandeli, Nzambe aponaki bato kati na bikolo ya bapaya ete bazala bato na Ye.
Simeon has been relating how God first looked down on the Gentiles, to take from among them a people for his name.
15 Makambo oyo ekokani na maloba ya basakoli, kolanda ndenge ekomama:
And the words of the prophets harmonize with this; as it is written,
16 « Sima na yango, nakozonga, nakotonga lisusu ndako ya kapo ya Davidi, oyo esila kokweya; nakotonga yango lisusu mpe nakotelemisa yango,
"After this, I will return, and will rebuild the tabernacle of David, which is fallen down; yes, I will rebuild its ruins, and set it upright again:
17 mpo ete bato oyo bakotikala baluka Nkolo, ezala bato nyonso ya bikolo ya bapaya oyo babengamaka na Kombo na Ngai, elobi Nkolo oyo asalaka makambo oyo,
that the remainder of men may seek the Lord, even all the heathen upon whom my name is called,
says the Lord," who does all these things, known to him from the beginning. (aiōn g165)
19 Yango wana, tala likanisi na ngai: Tosengeli te kotungisa bato ya bikolo ya bapaya oyo bandimeli Nzambe.
Wherefore, my judgment is not to disquiet those who, from among the Gentiles, are converted to God;
20 Na esika ya kotungisa bango, tosengeli kaka kokomela bango ete balia te misuni ya banyama oyo ebonzami lokola mbeka epai ya banzambe mosusu, basala kindumba te, balia te nyama oyo babomi na kozanga kobimisa makila, mpe bamela makila te.
but to write to them, that they abstain from the pollutions of idols, and from fornication, and from that which is strangled, and from blood.
21 Pamba te wuta kala, kati na bingumba nyonso, ezali na bato oyo bateyaka Mobeko ya Moyize, mpe batangaka yango kati na bandako ya mayangani, mikolo nyonso ya Saba.
For Moses has, from ancient generations, those who preach him, in every city, being read in the synagogues every Sabbath day.
22 Bantoma, bakambi elongo na Lingomba mobimba bazwaki mokano ya kopona ndambo ya bato kati na bango mpe ya kotinda bango na Antioshe elongo na Polo mpe Barnabasi. Baponaki Yuda oyo babengaka Barsabasi, mpe Silasi; bango mibale bazalaki bakambi kati na bandeko.
Then it seemed good to the Apostles and elders, and all the congregation, to send to Antioch, with Paul and Barnabas, chosen men from among themselves, namely, Judas, surnamed Barsabas, and Silas, men of principal account among the brethren;
23 Bapesaki bango mokanda oyo ekomamaki boye: Biso bantoma mpe bakambi, bandeko na bino: Epai ya bato ya bikolo ya bapaya oyo bavandaka kati na Antioshe, na Siri mpe na Silisi; Mbote na bino.
writing by their hands these things: The Apostles, and elders, and brethren, to the brethren from among the Gentiles in Antioch, and Syria, and Cilicia, greeting:
24 Toyokaki ete bandeko mosusu bawutaki epai na biso, ba-oyo topesaki ata nzela te, bayaki kotia mobulu kati na bino, batiaki penza mobulu kati na bino mpe batungisaki mitema na bino na nzela ya maloba na bango. Nzokande, totindaki bango te.
Forasmuch as we have been informed that, some going out from among us, to whom we gave no commission, have troubled you with discourses, unsettling your minds, saying, that you must be circumcised, and keep the law:
25 Boye, biso nyonso toyokanaki mpo na kopona bato mpe kotindela bino bango, elongo na bandeko balingami na biso, Barnabasi mpe Polo,
we, being unanimously assembled, have thought proper to send you chosen men, with out beloved Barnabas and Paul;
26 ba-oyo bakaba bomoi na bango mpo na Kombo na Yesu-Klisto, Nkolo na biso.
men that have exposed their lives for the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.
27 Yango wana, totindeli bino Yuda mpe Silasi mpo ete bakoka koyebisa bino makambo oyo tokomi kati na mokanda oyo.
We have, therefore, sent Judas and Silas, who will also tell you by word of mouth, the same things.
28 Molimo Mosantu mpe biso tomoni malamu ete tomemisa bino mikumba mosusu te, longola kaka bikateli oyo:
For it has seemed good to the Holy Spirit, and to us, to impose no further burden upon you besides these necessary things;
29 Bolia te misuni ya banyama oyo ebonzami lokola mbeka epai ya banzambe mosusu, bomela makila te, bolia te nyama oyo babomi na kozanga kobimisa makila, mpe bosala kindumba te. Ekozala malamu soki bokimi makambo yango. Botikala malamu!
that you abstain from things offered to idols, and from blood, and from anything strangled, and from fornication: from which you will do well to keep yourselves. Farewell.
30 Boye, batikaki bango kokende na Antioshe epai wapi basangisaki Lingomba mobimba mpe bapesaki mokanda yango.
They, therefore, being dismissed, came to Antioch; and assembling the multitude, delivered the epistle.
31 Bato batangaki mokanda yango mpe basepelaki mingi na malendisi oyo ezalaki kati na yango.
And when they had read it, they rejoiced for the consolation it brought.
32 Lokola Yuda mpe Silasi bazalaki basakoli, bazwaki penza tango molayi mpo na koloba na bandeko mpe kolendisa bango ete bayika mpiko kati na kondima.
And Judas and Silas, being also prophets themselves; in a copious discourse, exhorted and strengthened the brethren.
33 Bawumelaki wana mwa tango, mpe bandeko batombelaki bango kimia mpo na bozongi epai ya bato oyo batindaki bango. [
And, having made some stay, they were dismissed with peace from the brethren to the Apostles.
34 Kasi Silasi asepelaki kotikala wana.]
But Silas thought proper to continue there.
35 Polo mpe Barnabasi batikalaki na Antioshe epai wapi, elongo na bato mosusu ebele, bazalaki koteya mpe kosakola Liloba na Nkolo.
Paul also, and Barnabas, with many others, continued at Antioch; teaching and declaring the good word of the Lord.
36 Sima na mwa mikolo, Polo alobaki na Barnabasi: — Tozonga na bingumba nyonso epai wapi toteyaki Liloba na Nkolo, mpo ete totala bandeko mpo na koyeba soki bazali ndenge nini.
And, after some days, Paul said to Barnabas, Let us return and visit the brethren in all the cities in which we have published the word of the Lord; and see how they do.
37 Barnabasi azalaki na posa ya komema, elongo na bango, Yoane oyo babengaka mpe Malako;
And Barnabas determined to take along with them John, surnamed Mark.
38 kasi Polo asepelaki te ete bamema ye elongo na bango, pamba te akabwanaki na bango na Pafili mpe akobaki lisusu te elongo na bango kati na mosala.
But Peter did not think proper to take with them that person who had withdrawn himself from them from Pamphylia; and went not with them to the work.
39 Boye, babendanaki makasi penza mpe basukaki na kokabwana. Barnabasi azwaki Malako mpe akotaki elongo na ye kati na masuwa mpo na kokende na Shipre.
There was, therefore, a sharp fit of anger, so that they separated from each other; and Barnabas, taking Mark along with him, sailed to Cyprus.
40 Kasi Polo azwaki Silasi mpe akendeki elongo na ye, sima na bandeko kotika bango na se ya ngolu ya Nkolo.
But Paul made choice of Silas, and departed; being commended to the grace of God, by the brethren.
41 Atambolaki kati na Siri mpe na Silisi mpo na kolendisa Mangomba.
And he went through Syria and Cilicia confirming the congregations;
