Misala ya Bantoma 18
1 Sima na yango, Polo atikaki Ateni mpe akendeki na Kolinto.
And when Paul departed from Athens, he went 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 he found there a man, a Jew, whose name was Aquila, who was from the region of Pontus, and had just then arrived from the country of Italy, he and Priscilla his wife, because Claudius Caesar had commanded that all Jews should depart from Rome. And 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, because he was of a their trade, he took lodgings with them, and worked with them; for by their 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.
And he spoke in the synagogue every sabbath, and persuaded the Jews and Gentiles.
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 when Silas and Timothy had come from Macedonia, Paul was impeded in discourse, because the Jews stood up against him, and reviled, as he testified to them that Jesus is 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.
And he shook his garments, and said to them: Henceforth I am clean; I betake myself 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 he went away, and entered into the house of a certain man named Titus, one who feared God, and whose house adjoined 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.
And Crispus, the president of the synagogue, believed on our Lord, he and all the members of his house. And many Corinthians gave ear, and believed in God and were baptized.
9 Mokolo moko, na butu, Nkolo alobaki na Polo kati na emoniseli: Kobanga te, koba kaka koloba, kokanga monoko te.
And the Lord said to Paul in a vision: Fear not, but speak and be not silent:
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 thee, and no one is able to harm thee; and 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 resided in Corinth a year and six months, and taught them the word of God.
12 Wana Galioni azalaki moyangeli ya Akayi, Bayuda bayokanaki mpo na kokanga Polo, mpe bamemaki ye na esambiselo
And when Gallio was proconsul of Achaia, the Jews assembled together against Paul; and they brought him before the judgment-seat,
13 mpe bafundaki ye boye: — Moto oyo azali koluka kondimisa bato ete bagumbamela Nzambe na lolenge oyo mibeko epekisa.
saying: This man persuadeth the people 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 requested that he might open his mouth and speak, Gallio said to the Jews: If your accusation, O Jews, related to any wrong done, or any fraud, or base act, I would listen to you suitably.
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 the contests are about words, and about names, and concerning your law, ye must see to it among yourselves, for I am not disposed to be a judge of such matters.
16 Boye, abenganaki bango na esambiselo.
And he repelled them from his 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.
And all the Gentiles laid hold of Sosthenes an Elder of the synagogue, and smote him before the judgment-seat. And Gallio disregarded these things.
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 when Paul had been there many days, he bid adieu to the brethren, and departed by sea to go to Syria. And with him went Priscilla and Aquila, when he had shaved his head at Cenchrea, because he had vowed 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 to Ephesus; and Paul entered the synagogue, and discoursed with the Jews.
20 Basengaki ete awumela mwa mikolo elongo na bango, kasi Polo aboyaki.
And they requested him to tarry with them: but he could not be persuaded.
21 Atikaki bango na koloba: — Nakozongela bino lisusu, soki Nzambe alingi. Wuta na Efeso, azwaki masuwa mpe akendeki.
For he said: I must certainly keep the approaching feast at Jerusalem. But, if it please God, I will come again to you.
22 Tango akomaki na Sezarea, amataki na Yelusalemi mpo na kopesa Lingomba mbote; sima, akendeki na Antioshe.
And Aquila and Priscilla he left at Ephesus, and he himself proceeded by sea and came to Caesarea. And he went up and saluted the members of the church, and went on 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 when he had been there some days, he departed, and travelled from place to place in the regions of Phrygia and Galatia, establishing 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.
And a certain man named Apollos, a Jew, a native of Alexandria, who was trained to eloquence, and well taught 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.
He had been instructed in the ways of the Lord, and was fervent in spirit; and he discoursed and taught fully respecting Jesus, while yet he knew nothing except the baptism 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 when Aquila and Priscilla heard him, they took him to their house, and fully showed him the way of the Lord.
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 was disposed to go to Achaia, the brethren anticipated him, and wrote to the disciples to receive him. And, by going, through grace, he greatly assisted all them that 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 reasoned powerfully against the Jews, before the congregation; and showed from the scriptures, respecting Jesus, that he is the Messiah.
