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.
Then came he to Derbe and Lystra: and, behold, a certain disciple was there, named Timothy, the son of a certain woman, which was a Jewess, and believed; but his father was a Greek:
2 Litatoli na ye ezalaki malamu kati na bandeko ya Listre mpe ya Ikoniomi.
Which was well reported of by the brethren that were at 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.
Him would Paul have to go forth with him; and took and circumcised him because of the Jews which were in those quarters: for they knew all that his father 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 as they went through the cities, they delivered them the decrees for to keep, that were ordained of the apostles and elders which were at Jerusalem.
5 Boye, Mangomba ezalaki kolendisama kati na kondima, mpe bato bazalaki kobakisama mokolo na mokolo.
And so were the Assemblies established in the faith, and increased 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.
Now when they had gone throughout Phrygia and the region of Galatia, and were forbidden of the Holy Ghost to preach 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.
After they were come to Mysia, they assayed to go into Bithynia: but the Spirit suffered them not.
8 Boye bakatisaki etuka ya Mizi mpe bakendeki kino na libongo ya Troasi.
And they passing by Mysia came down to 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 appeared to Paul in the night; There stood a man of Macedonia, and prayed him, saying, Come over into Macedonia, and 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 after he had seen the vision, immediately we endeavoured to go into Macedonia, assuredly gathering that the Lord had called us for to preach the gospel unto them.
11 Longwa na Troasi, tozwaki masuwa mpe tokendeki mbala moko kino na esanga ya Samotrase; bongo mokolo oyo elandaki, tokomaki na Neyapolisi.
Therefore loosing from Troas, we came with a straight course to Samothracia, and the next day to 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 from thence to Philippi, which is the chief city of that part of Macedonia, and a colony: and we were in that city abiding certain 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 we went out of the city by a river side, where prayer was wont to be made; and we sat down, and spake unto the women which resorted thither.
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 named Lydia, a seller of purple, of the city of Thyatira, which worshipped God, heard us: whose heart the Lord opened, that she attended unto the things which were spoken of 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 was baptized, and her household, she besought us, saying, If ye have judged me to be faithful to the Lord, come into my house, and abide there. 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, as we went to prayer, a certain damsel possessed with a spirit of divination met us, which brought her masters much gain by soothsaying:
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.
The same followed Paul and us, and cried, saying, These men are the servants of the most high God, which shew unto 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 this did she many days. But Paul, being grieved, turned and said to the spirit, I command thee in the name of Jesus Christ to come out of 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 when her masters saw that the hope of their gains was gone, they caught Paul and Silas, and drew them into the marketplace unto the rulers,
20 Bamemaki bango liboso ya basambisi mpe balobaki: — Bato oyo bazali Bayuda; bazali kotia mobulu kati na engumba na biso.
And brought them to the magistrates, saying, These men, being Jews, do exceedingly trouble our city,
21 Bazali koluka kokotisa awa bizaleli oyo mibeko epekisi biso, bato ya Rome, kondima mpe kosalela.
And teach customs, which are not lawful for us to receive, neither to observe, 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 multitude rose up together against them: and the magistrates rent off their clothes, and commanded to beat them.
23 Sima na kobetisa bango fimbu makasi, babwakaki bango kati na boloko; bapesaki mitindo na mokengeli boloko ete akengela bango malamu.
And when they had laid many stripes upon them, they cast them into prison, charging the jailor 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, thrust them into the inner prison, and made their feet fast in the stocks.
25 Pene na midi ya butu, Polo mpe Silasi bazalaki kosambela mpe kokumisa Nzambe na banzembo; bakangami mosusu bazalaki koyoka bango.
And at midnight Paul and Silas prayed, and sang praises unto 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 immediately all the doors were opened, and every one’s bands 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 keeper of the prison awaking out of his sleep, and seeing the prison doors open, he drew out his sword, and would have killed himself, supposing that the prisoners had been fled.
28 Kasi Polo agangaki na mongongo makasi: — Komisala mabe te! Biso nyonso tozali awa!
But Paul cried with a loud voice, saying, Do thyself no harm: for we are all here.
29 Mokengeli boloko asengaki mwinda, akotaki mbangu kati na boloko, mpe amibwakaki liboso ya Polo mpe Silasi na kolenga makasi.
Then he called for a light, and sprang in, and came trembling, and fell down before Paul and Silas,
30 Bongo abimisaki bango libanda mpe atunaki bango: — Batata, nasala nini mpo ete nabika?
And brought them out, and said, Sirs, what must I do to be saved?
31 Bazongisaki: — Ndima Nkolo Yesu, mpe okobika, yo mpe libota na yo.
And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, and thy house.
32 Bongo bateyaki ye mpe libota na ye Liloba na Nkolo.
And they spake unto him the word of the Lord, and to all that 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 he took them the same hour of the night, and washed their stripes; and was baptized, he and all his, straightway.
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 when he had brought them into his house, he set meat before them, and rejoiced, believing in God with all his house.
35 Tango tongo etanaki, basambisi batindaki basali na bango epai ya mokengeli boloko mpo na koyebisa ye: — Bimisa bato wana na boloko!
And when it was day, the magistrates sent the serjeants, saying, Let those men go.
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 keeper of the prison told this saying to Paul, The magistrates have sent to let you go: now therefore depart, and go 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 unto them, They have beaten us openly uncondemned, being Romans, and have cast us into prison; and now do they thrust us out privily? nay verily; but let them come themselves and fetch 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 serjeants told these words unto the magistrates: and they feared, when they heard that they were Romans.
39 Bayaki kosenga bango bolimbisi, mpe babimisaki bango na boloko. Basengaki na bango ete balongwa na engumba wana.
And they came and besought them, and brought them out, and desired them to depart out of the 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 they went out of the prison, and entered into the house of Lydia: and when they had seen the brethren, they comforted them, and departed.
