Misala ya Bantoma 2
1 Tango mokolo ya Pantekoti ekomaki, bango nyonso basanganaki esika moko.
And when the days of pentecost were fully come, while they were all assembled together,
2 Mbala moko, lokito moko ewutaki na likolo lokola lokito ya mopepe makasi, mpe etondisaki ndako mobimba epai wapi bazalaki kosangana.
suddenly there was a sound from heaven, as of a violent wind; and the whole house where they were sitting was filled with it.
3 Bamonaki biloko moko lokola ndemo ya moto kokabwana mpe kovanda na moto ya moko na moko kati na bango.
And there appeared to them tongues, which were divided like flame; and they rested upon each of them.
4 Bango nyonso batondisamaki na Molimo Mosantu mpe babandaki koloba na nkota mosusu, ndenge Molimo azalaki kolakisa bango.
And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit, and began to speak in diverse languages, as the Spirit gave them to speak.
5 Nzokande, kati na Yelusalemi, ezalaki na Bayuda oyo babangaka Nzambe, oyo bawutaki na bikolo nyonso ya mokili.
Now there were resident at Jerusalem persons who feared God, Jews from all the nations under heaven.
6 Tango bayokaki lokito wana, ebele ya bato bayaki mbangu kosangana wana mpe bakomaki kokamwa, pamba te moko na moko kati na bango azalaki koyoka bango koloba na monoko na ye ya mboka.
And when that sound occurred, all the people collected together; and they were agitated, because they every one heard them speaking in their own languages.
7 Bakamwaki mingi penza mpe bakomaki kotuna: « Boni, bato nyonso oyo bazali koloba, bazali bato ya Galile te?
And they were all astonished, and wondered, saying one to another: All these who speak behold, are they not Galileans?
8 Boye, ndenge nini moto na moto kati na biso azali koyoka bango koloba na monoko na ye ya mboka?
And how do we hear, each his own language, in which we were born?
9 Bato ya Parte, ya Mede mpe ya Elami, bavandi ya Mezopotami, ya Yuda, ya Kapadose, ya Ponti mpe ya Azia,
Parthians, and Medes, and Elamites, and those dwelling between the rivers, Jews and Cappadocians, and those from the region of Pontus and of Asia,
10 ya Friji mpe ya Pafili, ya Ejipito mpe ya Libi oyo ezali pembeni ya Sirene, bapaya oyo bawutaki na Rome,
and those from the region of Phrygia, and of Pamphylia, and of Egypt, and of the parts of Lybia near Cyrene, and those who have come from Rome, Jews and proselytes;
11 bango nyonso, ezala Bayuda to bapaya oyo bakota na lingomba ya Bayuda: bato ya Kreti mpe ya Arabi, biso nyonso tozali koyoka bango kotatola misala minene ya Nzambe, na nkota na biso ya mboka! »
and those from Crete, and Arabians. Lo, we hear them speak in our own languages the wonders of God.
12 Bango nyonso, elekelaki bango, bazalaki kokamwa mingi mpe bakomaki kotunana: « Likambo oyo elingi koloba nini? »
And they all wondered and were astonished, saying one to another: From whom is this thing?
13 Nzokande, bato mosusu bazalaki koseka bango mpe koloba: « Balangwe vino ya sika. »
Others however ridiculed them, saying: They have drunken new wine, and are intoxicated.
14 Petelo atelemaki elongo na bantoma zomi na moko; mpe na mongongo makasi, alobaki na ebele ya bato: — Bino Bayuda, mpe bino nyonso oyo bovandaka na Yelusalemi, botika ete nalimbola mpo na bino likambo oyo, boyoka malamu makambo oyo nalingi koloba.
And afterwards Simon Cephas rose up, with the eleven legates, and elevated his voice, and said to them: Men, Jews, and all ye that reside at Jerusalem; be this known to you, and hearken ye to my words.
15 Bato oyo balangwe masanga te ndenge bozali kokanisa. Pamba te tozali nanu na ngonga ya libwa ya tongo.
For these are not intoxicated, as ye suppose: for lo, it is yet but the third hour.
16 Kasi ezali nde makambo oyo mosakoli Joeli alobaki:
But this is what was spoken by Joel the prophet:
17 « Na mikolo ya suka, elobaki Nzambe, nakosopa Molimo na Ngai kati na bato nyonso. Bana na bino ya mibali mpe ya basi bakosakola; bilenge na bino bakozwa bimoniseli, mibange na bino bakolota bandoto.
It shall be in the last days, saith God, that I will pour my Spirit upon all flesh: and your sons shall prophesy, and your daughters and your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams.
18 Solo, na mikolo wana, nakosopa Molimo na Ngai kati na basali na Ngai ya mibali mpe ya basi, mpe bakosakola.
And upon: my servants and my handmaids will I pour my Spirit, in those days, and they shall prophesy.
19 Nakolakisa bikamwa kuna na Likolo, mpe bilembo ya kokamwa awa na mokili: makila, moto mpe likonzi ya milinga.
And I will give signs in heaven, and prodigies on earth, blood, and fire, and vapor of smoke.
20 Moyi ekobongwana molili, sanza ekobongwana makila liboso ete mokolo ya Nkolo ekoma, mokolo oyo ya monene mpe ya nkembo.
And the sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before that great and fearful day of the Lord come.
21 Boye, moto nyonso oyo akobelela Kombo ya Nkolo akobikisama. »
And it shall be, that whoever will call on the name of the Lord, shall live.
22 Bato ya Isalaele, boyoka maloba oyo: Yesu ya Nazareti, moto oyo, na nzela ya bikamwa, ya bilembo mpe ya misala ya minene, Nzambe alakisaki bino ete awutaki epai na Ye ndenge bino moko boyebi yango,
Men, sons of Israel, hear ye these words: Jesus the Nazarean, a man made manifest among you by God, by those deeds of power and prodigies which God wrought among you by his hand, as ye yourselves know;
23 akabamaki na maboko na bino kolanda mokano oyo Nzambe asila kozwa na mabongisi na Ye wuta kala. Bongo bino, na lisungi ya bato mabe, bobomaki Ye na kobaka Ye na ekulusu.
him, being hereto appointed by the prescience and the good pleasure of God, ye have delivered into the hands of the wicked; and have crucified and slain.
24 Kasi Nzambe abukaki minyololo ya kufa, asekwisaki Ye, pamba te ekokaki kosalema te ete kufa ekanga Ye.
But God hath resuscitated him, and hath loosed the cords of the grave; because it could not be, that he should be held in the grave.
25 Boye, tala makambo oyo Davidi aloba na tina na Ye: « Nazalaki komona Nkolo mikolo nyonso liboso na ngai, pamba te azali pene na ngai mpo ete naningana te.
For David said of him: I foresaw my Lord at all times; for he is on my right hand, so that I shall not be moved.
26 Yango wana, motema na ngai etondi na esengo, mpe lolemo na ngai ezali kosepela. Solo, nzoto na ngai ekopema na elikya,
Therefore my heart doth rejoice, and my glory exult, and also my body shall abide in hope.
27 pamba te okosundola ngai te kati na mboka ya bakufi mpe okotika te ete mosantu na Yo apola. (Hadēs g86)
For thou wilt not leave my soul in the grave, nor wilt thou give thy pious one to see corruption. (Hadēs g86)
28 Pamba te olakisaki ngai nzela ya bomoi, mpe okotondisa ngai na esengo kati na bozalisami na Yo. »
Thou hast revealed to me the path of life; thou wilt fill me with joy with thy presence.
29 Bandeko na ngai, tika ete naloba na bino solo na tina na Davidi, koko na biso, ete akufa mpe bakunda ye; mpe kunda na ye ezali awa kino lelo.
Men, brethren, I may speak to you explicitly of the patriarch David, that he died, and also was buried; and his sepulchre is with us to this day.
30 Kasi azalaki mosakoli mpe ayebaki ete Nzambe apesaki ye elaka, na nzela ya ndayi, ete moko kati na bakitani na ye akovanda na kiti na ye ya bokonzi.
For he was a prophet, and he knew, that God had sworn to him by an oath: Of the fruit of thy bowels, I will seat one on thy throne.
31 Davidi amonaki makambo oyo wuta kala, alobelaki lisekwa ya Klisto ete Nzambe akosundola Ye te kati na mboka ya bakufi mpe akotika te ete nzoto na Ye epola. (Hadēs g86)
And he foresaw, and spoke of the resurrection of Messiah, that he was not left in the grave, neither did his body see corruption. (Hadēs g86)
32 Nzambe asekwisaki Yesu kati na bakufi; boye biso nyonso tozali batatoli ya lisekwa yango.
This Jesus hath God resuscitated; and we all are his witnesses.
33 Sima na loboko ya mobali ya Nzambe konetola Ye, azwaki epai ya Tata, Molimo Mosantu oyo Ye Tata alakaki, mpe asopeli biso Molimo Mosantu yango ndenge bozali komona mpe koyoka sik’oyo.
And he it is, who is exalted by the right hand of God, and hath received from the Father a promise respecting the Holy Spirit, and hath sent this gift which, lo, ye see and hear.
34 Pamba te, Davidi amataki te na Likolo, kasi alobaki: « Nkolo alobaki na Nkolo na ngai: ‹ Vanda na ngambo ya loboko na Ngai ya mobali
For David hath not ascended into heaven; because he himself said: The Lord said to my Lord, seat thyself at my right hand,
35 kino nakomisa banguna na Yo enyatelo makolo na Yo. › »
until I shall place thy enemies a footstool to thy feet.
36 Boye, tika ete bato nyonso ya Isalaele bayeba na bosolo ete Nzambe akomisi Yesu oyo bobakaki na ekulusu Nkolo mpe Klisto.
Therefore, let all the house of Israel know, assuredly, that God hath made that Jesus whom ye crucified, to be Lord and Messiah.
37 Tango bato bayokaki bongo, mitema na bango eyokaki pasi makasi mpe balobaki na Petelo mpe bantoma mosusu: — Bandeko, tosala nini?
And when they heard these things, they were agitated in their heart; and they said to Simon and to the rest of the legates: Brethren, what shall we do?
38 Petelo azongiselaki bango: — Bobongola mitema; tika ete moko na moko kati na bino azwa libatisi na Kombo na Yesu-Klisto mpo ete masumu na ye elimbisama, bongo bokozwa likabo ya Molimo Mosantu.
Simon said to them: Repent, and be baptized every one of you, in the name of the Lord Jesus, for the remission of sins; so that ye may receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.
39 Pamba te elaka oyo ezali mpo na bino, mpo na bana na bino mpe mpo na bavandi nyonso ya bikolo ya mosika, bato nyonso oyo Nkolo, Nzambe na biso, akobenga.
For the promise is to you, and to your children, and to all those afar off whom God will call.
40 Petelo azalaki kokebisa bango na maloba ebele mpe azalaki kolendisa bango na maloba oyo: — Boyamba lobiko mpo ete bozwa etumbu te oyo ezali kozela bato mabe.
And in many other words he testified to them, and entreated of them, saying: Live ye from this perverse generation.
41 Bato oyo bandimaki mateya ya Petelo bazwaki libatisi. Mpe na mokolo wana, bato pene nkoto misato babakisamaki na lisanga ya bandimi.
And some of them readily received his discourse, and believed, and were baptized. And there were added, on that day, about three thousand souls.
42 Bazalaki komipesa mingi penza na malakisi ya bantoma, na kozala lisanga, na kobuka lipa mpe na kosambela.
And they persevered in the doctrine of the legates; and were associated together in prayer, and in breaking the eucharist.
43 Bato nyonso batondisamaki na somo, mpo ete bantoma bazalaki kosala makamwisi ebele mpe bilembo ya kokamwa.
And fear was on every mind: and many signs and prodigies were wrought by the hand of the legates in Jerusalem.
44 Bandimi nyonso bakomaki na bomoko, mpe biloko na bango ezalaki mpo na bango nyonso.
And all they who believed, were together; and whatever belonged to them, was of the community.
45 Bazalaki koteka mabele na bango mpe biloko na bango, mpe bazalaki kokabola mbongo kati na bango, ndenge ezalaki posa ya moto na moto.
And they who had a possession, sold it, and divided to each one as he had need.
46 Mikolo nyonso bazalaki kokoba kosangana na Tempelo. Bazalaki kokabola lipa na bandako na bango, kolia bilei na bango na esengo nyonso mpe na motema ya komikitisa.
And they continued daily in the temple, with one soul: and at home, they broke bread and took food rejoicing, and in the simplicity of their heart.
47 Bazalaki kokumisa Nzambe, mpe bato nyonso bazalaki kolinga bango. Bongo, mikolo nyonso, Nkolo azalaki kobakisa na lisanga na bango bato oyo bazalaki kobika.
And they praised God, and had favor with all the people. And our Lord added daily to the assembly those who became alive.
