Misala ya Bantoma 16
1 Polo akomaki na Derbe mpe na Listre, epai wapi akutanaki na moyekoli moko, kombo na ye ezali « Timote. » Mama na ye azalaki Moyuda, kasi akomaki kondima Klisto; mpe tata na ye azalaki moto ya Grese.
And he arrived into Derbe and Lystra. And, behold, a certain disciple was there, by name Timothy, the son of a faithful Jewish woman, and a Greek father,
2 Litatoli na ye ezalaki malamu kati na bandeko ya Listre mpe ya Ikoniomi.
who was of good report by the brethren in Lystra and Iconium.
3 Polo azalaki na posa ya kosala mobembo elongo na ye, boye akatisaki ye ngenga; pamba te Bayuda oyo bazalaki kovanda kuna bayebaki ete tata na ye azalaki moto ya Grese.
Paul wished him to go out with him; and having taken him circumcised him on account of the Jews who were in those places: for they all knew his father that he was a Greek.
4 Kati na bingumba nyonso oyo bazalaki koleka, bazalaki koyebisa bandimi mikano oyo bantoma mpe bakambi ya Lingomba bazwaki na Yelusalemi, mpe bazalaki kosenga na bango ete batosa yango.
And while they were traveling through the cities, they delivered to them the decrees which were adjudicated by the apostles and elders in Jerusalem, to keep.
5 Boye, Mangomba ezalaki kolendisama kati na kondima, mpe bato bazalaki kobakisama mokolo na mokolo.
Then the churches were indeed strengthened in faith, and abounded in number daily.
6 Lokola Molimo Mosantu apesaki bango nzela te ya koteya Liloba kati na etuka ya Azia, Polo elongo na baninga na ye bakendeki na etuka ya Friji mpe ya Galatia.
And they traveled through Phrygia and the Galatian country, being prohibited by the Holy Ghost from speaking the word in Asia.
7 Tango bakomaki na mondelo ya Mizi, bazwaki likanisi ya kokende na Bitini, kasi Molimo ya Yesu apesaki bango nzela te.
And having come opposite Mysia, they were endeavoring to go on into Bithynia, and the Spirit of Jesus did not permit them;
8 Boye bakatisaki etuka ya Mizi mpe bakendeki kino na libongo ya Troasi.
and having come through Mysia they descended into Troas.
9 Na butu, Polo azwaki emoniseli moko: « Moto moko ya Masedwane atelemaki liboso na ye mpe azalaki kobondela ye: ‹ Nabondeli yo, yaka kosunga biso kati na Masedwane! › »
And a vision was seen by Paul during the night: Some Macedonian man was standing and entreating him and saying, Having come over into Macedonia, help us.
10 Sima na Polo kozwa emoniseli, tolukaki mbala moko kokende na Masedwane, pamba te tososolaki ete ezali Nzambe nde abengi biso mpo ete tokende koteya kuna Sango Malamu.
And when he saw the vision, we immediately sought to depart into Macedonia, concluding that God had called us to preach the gospel to them.
11 Longwa na Troasi, tozwaki masuwa mpe tokendeki mbala moko kino na esanga ya Samotrase; bongo mokolo oyo elandaki, tokomaki na Neyapolisi.
And having embarked from Troas, we sailed directly to Samothrace, and on the following day into Neapolis,
12 Kolongwa wana, tokendeki na Filipi, mboka mokonzi ya etuka ya Masedwane oyo ezalaki na se ya bokonzi ya bato ya Rome. Tovandaki kuna mwa mikolo.
and thence into Philippi, which is the first city of the Macedonian region, a colony. And we were in that city spending some days.
13 Na mokolo ya Saba, tobimaki na libanda ya ekuke ya engumba mpo na kokende pembeni ya ebale epai wapi tokanisaki ete tokomona esika ya losambo. Wana tovandaki, tokomaki koteya basi oyo basanganaki kuna.
And on the Sabbath day we went out from the gate by the river, where we were accustomed that prayer should be, and having sat down, we spoke to the women having assembled.
14 Kati na basi yango, ezalaki na mwasi moko, kombo na ye « Lidi. » Azalaki moteki ya bilamba ya motane, moto ya Tiyatire mpe mogumbameli ya Nzambe. Azalaki koyoka, mpe Nkolo afungolaki motema na ye mpo ete akangama na makambo oyo Polo azalaki koloba.
And a certain woman Lydia by name, a seller of purple, of the city of Thyatira, worshiping God, was hearing us: whose heart the Lord opened to give attention to the words spoken by Paul.
15 Tango ye elongo na bato ya libota na ye bazwaki libatisi, abengisaki biso na ndako na ye; alobaki: — Soki bomoni ete ngai nakomi penza mondimi ya Nkolo, boya kovanda na ndako na ngai. Boye, asalaki nyonso mpo ete tondima kokende na ndako na ye.
And when she and her household were baptized, she entreated us, saying, If you have found me to be faithful to the Lord, having come into my house, abide: and she constrained us.
16 Mokolo moko, wana tozalaki kokende na esika ya losambo, tokutanaki na mwasi mowumbu moko oyo azalaki na molimo mabe oyo ezalaki kosunga ye mpo na kosakola makambo oyo ekoya, mpe azalaki kozwela bankolo na ye mbongo ebele na nzela ya masakoli na ye.
And it came to pass, we going to the prayer, a certain damsel having a spirit of divination met us, who brought much gain to her masters telling fortunes.
17 Mwasi yango azalaki kolanda biso, Polo mpe biso, na koganga: — Bato oyo bazali basali ya Nzambe-Oyo-Aleki-Likolo, bazali koteya bino nzela ya lobiko.
She, following Paul and us, continued to cry out, saying, These men are the servants of the Most High God, who proclaim to us the way of salvation.
18 Lokola azalaki kosala bongo wuta mikolo ebele, suka na suka, Polo atombokaki, abalukaki mpe alobaki na molimo mabe yango: — Na Kombo na Yesu-Klisto, napesi yo mitindo: bima kati na mwasi oyo! Kaka na tango yango, molimo yango ebimaki kati na ye.
And she continued to do this many days. And Paul, being worn out, and turning round, said to the spirit, I command thee in the name of Jesus Christ to come out from her. And he came out the same hour.
19 Tango bankolo ya mowumbu yango bamonaki ete elikya na bango ya kozwa mbongo ekeyi na mopepe, bakangaki Polo mpe Silasi, mpe bamemaki bango liboso ya bakonzi, na esika ya bato ebele.
And her masters seeing that the hope of their gain was gone, arresting Paul and Silas, dragged them into the forum to the rulers,
20 Bamemaki bango liboso ya basambisi mpe balobaki: — Bato oyo bazali Bayuda; bazali kotia mobulu kati na engumba na biso.
and leading them to the magistrates, said, These men do exceedingly trouble our city, being Jews,
21 Bazali koluka kokotisa awa bizaleli oyo mibeko epekisi biso, bato ya Rome, kondima mpe kosalela.
and they proclaimed customs, which are not lawful for us to receive, or to do, being Romans.
22 Bato oyo batondaki wana batombokelaki Polo mpe Silasi, bongo basambisi bapesaki mitindo ete balongola bango bilamba mpe babeta bango fimbu.
And the crowd stood up together against them: and the magistrates tearing off their garments, commanded the lictors to beat them with rods.
23 Sima na kobetisa bango fimbu makasi, babwakaki bango kati na boloko; bapesaki mitindo na mokengeli boloko ete akengela bango malamu.
And having laid many stripes on them, they cast them into prison, commanding the jailer to keep them safely:
24 Tango kaka mokengeli azwaki mitindo oyo, abwakaki bango kati na boloko ya kati mpe akangisaki makolo na bango na mabaya.
who, having received such a charge, cast them into the interior prison, and fastened their feet into the wood.
25 Pene na midi ya butu, Polo mpe Silasi bazalaki kosambela mpe kokumisa Nzambe na banzembo; bakangami mosusu bazalaki koyoka bango.
But at midnight Paul and Silas, praying, continued to sing praises to God: and the prisoners heard them.
26 Mbala moko, mabele eninganaki makasi, mpe miboko ya boloko eninganaki. Kaka na tango yango, miboko ya boloko ebukanaki, bikuke nyonso ya boloko efungwamaki, mpe minyololo ya bakangami nyonso ekatanaki.
And suddenly there was a great earthquake, so that the foundations of the prison were shaken: and all the doors were immediately opened, and the bonds of all were loosed.
27 Mokengeli boloko alamukaki; mpe tango amonaki ete bikuke ya boloko ezali ya kofungwama, abendaki mopanga na ye mpo ete amiboma, pamba te akanisaki ete bakangami bakimi.
And the jailer, being awakened, and seeing the doors of the prison open, seizing a sword, was about to kill himself, thinking that his prisoners had escaped.
28 Kasi Polo agangaki na mongongo makasi: — Komisala mabe te! Biso nyonso tozali awa!
But Paul shouted with a loud voice, saying, Do thyself no harm: for we are here.
29 Mokengeli boloko asengaki mwinda, akotaki mbangu kati na boloko, mpe amibwakaki liboso ya Polo mpe Silasi na kolenga makasi.
And having asked for a light, he sprang in, and being alarmed, he fell down before Paul and Silas,
30 Bongo abimisaki bango libanda mpe atunaki bango: — Batata, nasala nini mpo ete nabika?
and leading them out said, Sirs, what does it behoove me to do in order that I may be saved?
31 Bazongisaki: — Ndima Nkolo Yesu, mpe okobika, yo mpe libota na yo.
And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus, and thou and thy household shall be saved.
32 Bongo bateyaki ye mpe libota na ye Liloba na Nkolo.
And they spoke to him the word of the Lord, along with all who were in his house.
33 Kaka na ngonga wana ya butu, mokengeli boloko azwaki bango elongo na ye mpe asukolaki bango bapota; bongo, mbala moko, ye mpe libota na ye bazwaki libatisi.
And taking them that hour of the night, he washed the blood from their stripes; and he and his were baptized immediately:
34 Sima, mokengeli boloko amemaki Polo mpe Silasi na ndako na ye, mpe apesaki bango bilei; mpe atondisamaki na esengo makasi, pamba te ye mpe bato nyonso ya libota na ye bandimelaki Nzambe.
and leading them into his house, he set a table by them, and rejoiced throughout his house, having believed in God.
35 Tango tongo etanaki, basambisi batindaki basali na bango epai ya mokengeli boloko mpo na koyebisa ye: — Bimisa bato wana na boloko!
But it being day, the magistrates sent the lictors, saying, Send away these men.
36 Mokengeli boloko alobaki na Polo: — Basambisi bapesi ngai mitindo ete nabimisa bino na boloko. Boye sik’oyo, bobima mpe bokende na kimia.
And the jailer proclaimed these words to Paul, The magistrates have sent word that you may be released: now therefore having gone out, depart in peace.
37 Kasi Polo azongisaki: — Nini! Basambisi biso te, kasi babetisi biso fimbu na miso ya bato mpe babwaki biso na boloko, nzokande biso tozali bato ya Rome. Balingi sik’oyo kobimisa biso na nkuku? Te, ekosalema bongo te! Tika ete bango moko baya kobimisa biso!
But Paul said to them, Having beaten us publicly uncondemned, being Roman men, they cast us into prison, and now do they cast us out privately? for no; but having come themselves let them lead us out.
38 Basali bakendeki koyebisa makambo yango epai ya basambisi. Tango kaka basambisi bayokaki ete Polo mpe Silasi bazali bato ya Rome, babangaki makasi.
And the lictors proclaimed these words to the magistrates. And hearing that they are Romans, they were alarmed;
39 Bayaki kosenga bango bolimbisi, mpe babimisaki bango na boloko. Basengaki na bango ete balongwa na engumba wana.
and having come they called for them, and leading them out, requested them to go away from their city.
40 Sima na Polo mpe Silasi kobima na boloko, bakendeki na ndako ya Lidi, epai wapi bakutanaki na bandeko mpe balendisaki bango. Bongo, bazongelaki mobembo na bango.
And having come out from the prison they came to Lydia, and seeing the brethren, comforted them, and departed.
