Misala ya Bantoma 18
1 Sima na yango, Polo atikaki Ateni mpe akendeki na Kolinto.
After these things, withdrawing from Athens, he came unto 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 Jew, by name Aquila, of Pontus by birth, —lately come from Italy, and Priscilla his wife, because Claudius had ordered all the Jews to be leaving Rome, he came unto 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, because he was of the same craft, he abode with them, and wrought, for they were tent-makers by their trade.
4 Mikolo nyonso ya Saba, Polo azalaki koteya kati na ndako ya mayangani mpe azalaki koluka kondimisa Bayuda mpe bato ya Grese.
And he began reasoning in the synagogue every sabbath, and was persuading both Jews and 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.
When, however, both Silas and Timothy had come down from Macedonia, Paul began to be urged on in the word, bearing full witness unto the Jews that, Jesus, was, the Christ.
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, as they began opposing and defaming, shaking out his garments, he said unto them—Your blood, be upon your own head! Pure, am, I: henceforth, unto the nations, will I go.
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, removing from thence, he came into the house of a certain man by name Titius Justus, who worshipped God, whose house was adjoining unto 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.
But, Crispus, the ruler of the synagogue, believed in the Lord, with all his house. And, many of the Corinthians, hearing, were believing, and being immersed.
9 Mokolo moko, na butu, Nkolo alobaki na Polo kati na emoniseli: Kobanga te, koba kaka koloba, kokanga monoko te.
And the Lord said by night, through means of a vision, unto Paul—Be not afraid! but be speaking, —and do not hold thy peace;
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.
Inasmuch as, I, am with thee, and, no one, shall set upon thee to harm thee; inasmuch as 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 remained a year and six months, teaching among them the word of God.
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, with one accord, set upon Paul, and led him unto the judgment-seat,
13 mpe bafundaki ye boye: — Moto oyo azali koluka kondimisa bato ete bagumbamela Nzambe na lolenge oyo mibeko epekisa.
saying—Contrary to the law, is this one seducing men to be worshipping God.
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.
But, as Paul was about to open his mouth, Gallio said unto the Jews—If, indeed, it had been some wrong or wicked recklessness, O Jews, with reason, in that case, should I have been bearing 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.
If, however, they are questions concerning discourse, and names, and law, that which ye have, ye shall see to it, yourselves; A judge of these things, I, am not disposed to be.
16 Boye, abenganaki bango na esambiselo.
And he drove them from the judgment-seat.
17 Mpe bango nyonso bakangaki Sositeni, mokambi ya ndako ya mayangani, mpe babetaki ye liboso ya esambiselo. Kasi Galioni atalaki yango se pamba.
But they all, laying hold of Sosthenes the ruler of the synagogue, began to strike him before the judgment-seat; and, for none of these things, did Gallio care.
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.
Paul, however, still further abiding a good many days with the brethren, bidding them adieu, set sail for Syria; and, with him, Priscilla and Aquila; having shorn his head in Cenchreae, 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 they came down to Ephesus; and, as for them, he left them there, —but, himself entering into the synagogue, he reasoned with the Jews.
20 Basengaki ete awumela mwa mikolo elongo na bango, kasi Polo aboyaki.
And, when they requested him for a longer time to abide, he consented not;
21 Atikaki bango na koloba: — Nakozongela bino lisusu, soki Nzambe alingi. Wuta na Efeso, azwaki masuwa mpe akendeki.
but, bidding them adieu, and saying—Again, will I return unto you, God willing, he sailed away from Ephesus;
22 Tango akomaki na Sezarea, amataki na Yelusalemi mpo na kopesa Lingomba mbote; sima, akendeki na Antioshe.
and, putting in at Caesarea, going up and saluting the assembly, went down unto 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, spending some time, he went forth, passing through, in order, the country of Galatia and Phrygia, 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.
But, a certain Jew, Apollos by name, an Alexandrian by birth, a learned man, came down to Ephesus, being, mighty, in the Scriptures.
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.
The same, had been orally taught the way of the Lord, and, being fervent in his spirit, began speaking and teaching accurately, the things concerning Jesus, —properly knowing, only 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.
The same, also began speaking boldly in the synagogue; and Priscilla and Aquila, hearing him, took him unto them, and, more accurately, expounded unto him the way of God.
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, he being minded to pass through into Achaia, the brethren urgently wrote unto the disciples to welcome him, —who, arriving, was very useful unto them who had believed, with his gift;
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, with great force, began he confuting the Jews, publicly, shewing by the Scriptures that Jesus was, the Christ.
