< Misala ya Bantoma 18 >
1 Sima na yango, Polo atikaki Ateni mpe akendeki na Kolinto.
After these things, Paul departed from Athens and came to Corinth;
2 Kuna, akutanaki na Moyuda moko, kombo na ye ezalaki « Akilasi. » Azalaki moto ya mboka Ponti. Akilasi awutaki koya kala te longwa na Itali, elongo na mwasi na ye, Prisile, pamba te mokonzi Klode apesaki mitindo ete Bayuda nyonso balongwa na Rome. Boye, Polo akendeki kotala bango;
and finding a certain Jews, named Aquila, a native of Pontus, lately come from Italy, with Priscilla, his wife, (because Claudius Cesar had commanded all the Jews to depart from Rome, ) he went to them.
3 mpe lokola Polo azalaki kosala mosala moko na bango, mosala ya kosala bandako ya kapo, avandaki epai na bango mpe akomaki kosala elongo na bango.
And as he was of the same trade, he continued with them, and wrought; for by trade they were tent-makers.
4 Mikolo nyonso ya Saba, Polo azalaki koteya kati na ndako ya mayangani mpe azalaki koluka kondimisa Bayuda mpe bato ya Grese.
But he reasoned in the synagogue every Sabbath day, and persuaded the Jews and the Greeks.
5 Tango Silasi mpe Timote bayaki wana wuta na Masedwane, Polo akomaki kolekisa tango na ye nyonso kaka na koteya Liloba mpe kotalisa solo epai ya Bayuda ete Yesu azali Klisto.
And as soon as Silas and Timothy came from Macedonia, Paul was impelled by the Spirit, and testified to the Jews that Jesus was the Messiah.
6 Kasi tango Bayuda bakomaki kotelemela Polo mpe kofinga ye, apupolaki bilamba na ye mpe alobaki: — Tika ete makila na bino etangama likolo ya mito na bino moko! Ngai nazali lisusu na ngambo te. Kobanda lelo, nakokende na ngai epai ya bato ya bikolo ya bapaya.
But when they set themselves in opposition, and reviled, he shook his garment, and said to them, Let your blood be upon your own head! I am pure. From henceforth I will go to the Gentiles.
7 Boye, Polo atikaki bango mpe akendeki na ndako ya Titisi Yusitusi, mogumbameli ya Nzambe, oyo ndako na ye ezalaki pembeni ya ndako ya mayangani.
And going out thence, he went into the house of one called Justus, a worshiper of God, whose house was adjoining the synagogue.
8 Krispisi, mokambi ya ndako ya mayangani, elongo na libota na ye mobimba bazalaki na kondima epai ya Nkolo; mpe bato mingi ya Kolinto oyo bazalaki koyoka Polo bakomaki bandimi ya Nkolo mpe bazwaki libatisi.
Now, Crispus, the ruler of the synagogue, believed in the Lord, with all his house; and many of the Corinthians, hearing, believed; and were immersed.
9 Mokolo moko, na butu, Nkolo alobaki na Polo kati na emoniseli: Kobanga te, koba kaka koloba, kokanga monoko te.
But the Lord said to Paul, in a vision by night, Fear not, but speak, and do not keep silence;
10 Nazali na yo elongo, mpe moto moko te akolonga kobundisa yo mpe kosala yo mabe, pamba te nazali na bato mingi kati na engumba oyo.
for I am with you, and no man shall fall on you, to injure you; for I have much people in this city.
11 Boye, Polo avandaki na Kolinto, mobu moko na ndambo, mpe azalaki koteya bango Liloba na Nzambe.
And he continued there a year and six months, teaching the word of God among them.
12 Wana Galioni azalaki moyangeli ya Akayi, Bayuda bayokanaki mpo na kokanga Polo, mpe bamemaki ye na esambiselo
But when Gallio was proconsul of Achaia, the Jews made an assault upon Paul, with one consent, and brought him before the tribunal,
13 mpe bafundaki ye boye: — Moto oyo azali koluka kondimisa bato ete bagumbamela Nzambe na lolenge oyo mibeko epekisa.
saying, This fellow persuades men to worship God contrary to the law.
14 Tango kaka Polo alingaki koloba, Galioni alobaki na Bayuda: — Bino Bayuda, soki moto oyo asalaki mabe to likambo moko ya sembo te, nalingaki solo koyokela bino.
And when Paul would have opened his mouth, Gallio said to the the Jews, If it were an act of injustice, or mischievous licentiousness, O Jews! it were reasonable I should bear with you.
15 Kasi lokola ezali kaka likambo ya tembe na tina na makambo oyo etali maloba, bakombo mpe mibeko na bino, wana etali kaka bino moko; ngai naboyi kozala mosambisi ya makambo ya boye.
But if it be a question concerning words, and names, and the law which is among you, you see to it yourselves; for I will be no judge of these matters.
16 Boye, abenganaki bango na esambiselo.
And he drove them away from the tribunal.
17 Mpe bango nyonso bakangaki Sositeni, mokambi ya ndako ya mayangani, mpe babetaki ye liboso ya esambiselo. Kasi Galioni atalaki yango se pamba.
And all the Greeks laid hold on Sosthenes, the ruler of the synagogue, and beat him before the tribunal; but Gallio did not concern himself at all about the matter.
18 Polo avandaki lisusu mwa mikolo na Kolinto. Bongo, atikaki bandeko, akotaki na masuwa mpe akendeki na Siri elongo na Prisile mpe Akilasi. Liboso na Polo kolongwa na libongo ya Sankresi, akokolisaki suki ya moto na ye, pamba te alapaki ndayi.
And Paul still continued there for a considerable time, and then taking leave of the brethren, sailed thence for Syria, and with him Priscilla and Aquila; having shaved his head at Cenchrea, for he had a vow.
19 Tango bakomaki na Efeso, Polo atikaki Akila mpe Prisile. Akendeki ye moko na ndako ya mayangani mpo na kosolola na Bayuda.
And he arrived at Ephesus, and there he left them; but he himself entered into the synagogue, and reasoned with the Jews.
20 Basengaki ete awumela mwa mikolo elongo na bango, kasi Polo aboyaki.
And though they entreated him to have staid longer with them, he did not consent:
21 Atikaki bango na koloba: — Nakozongela bino lisusu, soki Nzambe alingi. Wuta na Efeso, azwaki masuwa mpe akendeki.
but he took his leave of them, saying, It is necessary for me, all means, to celebrate the approaching feast at Jerusalem; but I will return to you again, God willing. And he set sail from Ephesus.
22 Tango akomaki na Sezarea, amataki na Yelusalemi mpo na kopesa Lingomba mbote; sima, akendeki na Antioshe.
And landing at Cesarea, he went up; and having saluted the congregation, he went down to Antioch.
23 Sima na Polo kovanda mwa mikolo na Antioshe, alongwaki kuna mpe alekaki na etuka ya Galatia mpe ya Friji, na kolendisa bayekoli nyonso.
and having saluted the congregation, he went down to Antioch. And having spent some time there, he departed, going through the country of Galatia and Phrygia, in a regular manner confirming all the disciples.
24 Moyuda moko ayaki na Efeso, kombo na ye ezalaki « Apolosi. » Abotamaki na Alekizandri, ayebaki koloba malamu mpe ayebaki bozindo ya Makomi.
Now, a certain Jew, whose name was Apollos, a native of Alexandria, an eloquent man, and powerful in the scriptures, came to Ephesus.
25 Bateyaki ye nzela ya Nkolo; mpe, lokola azalaki molende, azalaki koloba mpe kolakisa na bosolo makambo oyo etali Yesu atako ayebaki kaka libatisi ya Yoane.
This person was instructed in the way of the Lord, and being fervent in spirit, he spoke and taught them things of the Lord with great accuracy, being only acquainted with the immersion of John.
26 Abandaki koloba na molende nyonso kati na ndako ya mayangani. Kasi tango Prisile mpe Akilasi bayokaki ye, babengisaki ye na ndako na bango mpe balimbolelaki ye malamu penza nzela ya Nzambe.
And he began to speak boldly in the synagogue. And Aquila and Priscilla hearing him, took him aside, and explained to him the way of God in a more perfect manner.
27 Lokola Apolosi azalaki na likanisi ya kokende na Akayi, bandeko balendisaki ye mpe bakomelaki bayekoli ya Kolinto ete bayamba ye malamu. Tango akomaki kuna, na ngolu na Nzambe, azalaki lisungi monene mpo na bato oyo bakomaki bandimi,
And when he intended to go over to Achaia, the brethren wrote to the disciples, exhorting them to receive him. And being arrived there, by his gift he greatly helped those who had believed.
28 pamba te maloba na ye ezalaki kosukisa tembe ya Bayuda na miso ya bato nyonso, mpe azalaki kotalisa na polele, na nzela ya Makomi, ete Yesu azali Klisto.
For he strenuously debated with the Jews in public, showing by the scriptures, that Jesus is the Messiah.
