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 found a certain Jew named Aquila, born in Pontus, lately come from Italy, with his wife Priscilla (because that Claudius had commanded all Jews to depart from Rome) and [he] came 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 the same occupation, he abode with them, and wrought (for by their occupation 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 reasoned in the synagogue every sabbath, 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 when Silas and Timothy had come from Macedonia, Paul was pressed in spirit, and testified to the Jews, [that] Jesus [was] 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.
And when they opposed themselves, and blasphemed, he shook [his] raiment, and said to them, Your blood [be] upon your own heads: I [am] clean: 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 he departed thence, and entered into the house of a certain man named Justus, [one] that worshiped God, whose house joined close to 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 chief ruler of the synagogue believed on the Lord with all his house: and many of the Corinthians hearing, believed, and were baptized.
9 Mokolo moko, na butu, Nkolo alobaki na Polo kati na emoniseli: Kobanga te, koba kaka koloba, kokanga monoko te.
Then the Lord spoke to Paul in the night by a vision, Be not afraid, but speak, and hold not 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.
For I am with thee, and no man shall lay hands on thee, to hurt thee: for I have many 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
And when Gallio was the deputy of Achaia, the Jews made insurrection with one accord against Paul, and brought him to 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 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 was now about to open [his] mouth, Gallio said to the Jews, If it were a matter of wrong, or hainous crime, O [ye] Jews, reason would that 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 is a question of words and names, and [of] your law, look ye [to it]: for I will be no judge of such [matters].
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.
Then all the Greeks took Sosthenes, the chief ruler of the synagogue, and beat [him] before the judgment-seat. And Gallio cared for none of those 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 Paul [after this] tarried [there] yet a good while, and took his leave of the brethren, and sailed thence into Syria, and with him Priscilla and Aquila; having shorn [his] head in 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 came to Ephesus, and left them there: but he himself entered into the synagogue, and reasoned with the Jews.
20 Basengaki ete awumela mwa mikolo elongo na bango, kasi Polo aboyaki.
When they desired [him] to tarry longer time with them, he consented not:
21 Atikaki bango na koloba: — Nakozongela bino lisusu, soki Nzambe alingi. Wuta na Efeso, azwaki masuwa mpe akendeki.
But bade them farewell, saying, I must by all means keep this feast that cometh in Jerusalem: but I will return to you, if God will. And he sailed from Ephesus.
22 Tango akomaki na Sezarea, amataki na Yelusalemi mpo na kopesa Lingomba mbote; sima, akendeki na Antioshe.
And when he had landed at Cesarea, and gone up and saluted the church, 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 after he had spent some time [there], he departed and went over [all] the country of Galatia and Phrygia in order, strengthening 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 Jew named Apollos, born at Alexandria, an eloquent man, [and] mighty 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 man was instructed in the way of the Lord: and being fervent in the spirit, he spoke and taught diligently the things of the Lord, knowing only 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: Whom, when Aquila and Priscilla had heard, they took him to [them], and expounded to him the way of God more perfectly.
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 pass into Achaia, the brethren wrote, exhorting the disciples to receive him: who, when he had come, helped them much who had believed through grace.
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 mightily convinced the Jews, [and that] publicly, showing by the scriptures, that Jesus was Christ.
