Misala ya Bantoma 21
1 Sima na biso kokabwana na bango, tokotaki na masuwa mpe tokendeki kino na esanga ya Kosi; bongo mokolo oyo elandaki, tokendeki na Roda mpe, longwa wana, tokomaki na Patara.
And when it came to pass, that we having been farewelled by them, embarked, sailing straight forward, we arrived at Cos, and on the following day to Rhodes, and thence to Patara.
2 Kuna, tomonaki masuwa moko oyo ezalaki kokende na Fenisi; tomataki kati na yango mpe tokendeki.
And finding a ship sailing into Phoenicia, having embarked, we moved out.
3 Tango tomonaki esanga ya Shipre, totikaki yango na ngambo ya loboko ya mwasi mpe tokobaki mobembo na biso na mopanzi ya Siri. Totelemaki na Tiri epai wapi masuwa esengelaki kokitisa biloko oyo ememaki.
And coming in sight of Cyprus, and leaving it on the left, we sailed to Syria, and disembarked at Tyre: for there the ship was delivering her cargo.
4 Lokola tokutaki bayekoli kuna, tovandaki elongo na bango mikolo sambo. Nzokande Molimo asololaki na Bayekoli, mpe balobaki na Polo ete akende na Yelusalemi te.
And finding disciples, we tarried there seven days: who continued to say to Paul through the Spirit, that he should not go to Jerusalem.
5 Atako bongo, tango mikolo na biso ekokaki, tolongwaki wana mpe tokobaki mobembo na biso. Bayekoli nyonso elongo na basi na bango mpe bana na bango bakendeki kotika biso kino na libanda ya engumba. Tango tokomaki na libongo, tofukamaki mpo na kosambela.
And when it came to pass that we refitted during those days, having come out, we departed, all sending us forth, along with the women and children, out of the city: and putting down the knees on the shore, having prayed,
6 Sima na kopesana mbote ya suka, tomataki na masuwa, mpe bango bazongaki na bandako na bango.
we farewelled one another, and went up into the ship; and they returned to their own homes.
7 Tosukisaki mobembo na biso ya mayi, kolongwa na Tiri kino na Pitolemayisi epai wapi topesaki bandeko mbote mpe tovandaki elongo na bango mokolo moko.
And we continuing our voyage from Tyre, we arrived at Ptolemais, and having saluted the brethren, we remained with them one day.
8 Mokolo oyo elandaki, tokendeki na Sezarea mpe tovandaki na ndako ya Filipo, mopanzi Sango Malamu. Azalaki moko kati na bato sambo oyo Lingomba eponaki.
And on the following day, having come out, we came into Caesarea: and having entered into the house of Philip the evangelist, being one of the seven, we abode with him.
9 Azalaki na bana basi minei oyo bayebaki nanu nzoto ya mibali te, mpe bazalaki na likabo ya kosakola.
And there were to him four virgin daughters, prophesying.
10 Lokola tovandaki wana mikolo ebele, mosakoli moko, kombo na ye ezalaki Agabisi, awutaki na Yuda
And we remaining many days, a certain prophet, by name Agabus, came down from Judea;
11 mpe ayaki kokutana na biso; azwaki mokaba ya Polo mpe amikangaki na yango makolo mpe maboko. Alobaki: — Tala makambo oyo Molimo Mosantu alobi: « Ezali na lolenge oyo nde Bayuda ya Yelusalemi bakokanga nkolo mokaba oyo, mpe bakokaba ye na maboko ya bato ya bikolo ya bapaya. »
and having come to us, and taking the girdle of Paul, binding his own feet and hands, said, These things says the Holy Ghost, The man whose girdle this is, will the Jews in Jerusalem bind and deliver into the hands of the Gentiles.
12 Tango toyokaki maloba wana, biso mpe bandimi ya Sezarea tobondelaki Polo ete akende na Yelusalemi te.
And when we heard these words, both we, and the citizens, exhorted him not to go up to Jerusalem.
13 Kasi Polo azongiselaki biso: — Mpo na nini bozali kolela mpe kolembisa ngai? Nasili komibongisa kaka te mpo na kokangama, kasi mpe mpo na kokufa kati na Yelusalemi mpo na Kombo ya Nkolo Yesu.
Then Paul responded and said, What are you doing, weeping and breaking my heart? for I am ready not only to be bound, but to die in Jerusalem for the name of the Lord Jesus.
14 Lokola tolongaki te kobongola makanisi na ye, totikaki kobondela ye mpe tolobaki: — Tika ete mokano ya Nkolo esalema!
And he not being persuaded, we acquiesced, saying, Let the will of the Lord be done.
15 Sima na biso kolekisa mikolo wana na Sezarea, tobongisaki biloko na biso mpe tokendeki na Yelusalemi.
And after those days, taking our luggage, we went up to Jerusalem:
16 Bayekoli mosusu ya Sezarea bakendeki kotika biso; bamemaki biso na ndako ya Minaso, epai wapi tovandaki. Azalaki moto ya Shipre, mpe akomaki moyekoli wuta kala.
and some of the disciples from Caesarea went along with us, bringing Mnason a certain Cyprian, an old disciple, with whom we should lodge.
17 Tango tokomaki na Yelusalemi, bandeko bayambaki biso na esengo.
And we being in Jerusalem, the brethren received us gladly.
18 Mokolo oyo elandaki, Polo amemaki biso epai ya Jake, mpe bakambi nyonso ya Lingomba bayaki kuna.
And on the following day, Paul goes with us to James; and all the elders assembled.
19 Sima na ye kopesa bango mbote, Polo akomaki koyebisa bango likambo moko na moko, oyo Nzambe asalaki kati na bato ya bikolo ya bapaya, na nzela ya lotomo na ye.
And having saluted them, he related each one of those things which God did among the Gentiles through his ministry.
20 Sima na bango koyoka ye, bakumisaki Nzambe. Bongo balobaki na Polo: — Ndeko, ozali komona motango ya bankoto ya Bayuda oyo bakomi bandimi, mpe bango nyonso bazali na bolingo makasi mpo na Mobeko ya Moyize.
And they hearing, continued to glorify God, and said to him, You see, brother, how many myriads there are of those who believe; and they are all zealots of the law:
21 Nzokande, bayokaki sango ete oteyaka na Bayuda nyonso oyo bavandaka kati na bato ya bikolo ya bapaya ete batosa te Mobeko ya Moyize, mpe ete olobaka na bango ete bakata lisusu te ngenga ya bana na bango mpe batika kosalela bokoko ya Bayuda.
and they have been informed concerning thee, that thou art teaching all the Jews who are among the Gentiles apostasy from Moses, saying that they are not to circumcise their children, nor to walk according to the customs.
22 Boye tosala nini? Pamba te bakoyoka kaka ete okomi awa.
Then what is it? it is altogether necessary that the multitude come together: for they will hear that you have come.
23 Sala makambo oyo tokoyebisa yo: Tozali awa na mibali minei oyo balapa ndayi.
Therefore do this which we tell thee. There are four men among us having a vow upon them;
24 Zwa bango, mipetola elongo na bango mpe futela bango mbongo mpo ete bakatisa suki. Na bongo, bato nyonso bakoyeba ete sango oyo bazali koyoka na tina na yo ezali ya lokuta, mpe bakososola ete yo moko mpe otosaka Mobeko.
taking them, be purified along with them, and be at charges for them, that they may shave their head: and all shall know that there is nothing of those things they have been informed concerning thee; but that thyself art walking, keeping the law.
25 Mpo na bato ya bikolo ya bapaya oyo bakomi bandimi, tokomeli bango mikano na biso ete basengeli te kolia misuni ya banyama oyo ebonzami lokola mbeka epai ya banzambe mosusu, basengeli te komela makila, basengeli te kolia nyama oyo babomi na kozanga kobimisa makila, basengeli te kosala kindumba ya lolenge nyonso.
But concerning the Gentiles who have believed, we have sent to them, adjudicating that they keep themselves from idolatry, and blood, and strangulation, and fornication.
26 Mokolo oyo elandaki, Polo amemaki bato yango mpe amipetolaki elongo na bango. Bongo akotaki na Tempelo mpo na koyebisa mokolo oyo tango ya komipetola ekosila, mokolo oyo bakobonza mbeka mpo na moko na moko kati na bango.
Then Paul, having taken the men, the next day being purified along with them, enters into the temple, proclaiming the fulfillment of the days of purification, until an offering may be made for each one of them.
27 Tango mikolo sambo ekomaki pene ya kokoka, Bayuda ya mokili ya Azia bamonaki Polo kati na lopango ya Tempelo. Batombokisaki ebele nyonso ya bato mpe bakangaki ye
And when the seven days were about to have an end, the Jews from Asia, seeing him in the temple, stirred up the whole multitude, and laid hands on him, crying out,
28 na koganga: — Bato ya Isalaele, bosunga biso! Botala moto oyo azali koteya bato nyonso mpe na bisika nyonso, ete batelemela bato na biso, Mobeko na biso mpe Tempelo oyo. Lisusu, akotisi bato ya Grese kati na Tempelo mpe akomisi esika oyo ya bule mbindo.
Israelitish men, help: this is the man, teaching all everywhere against the people, and the law, and this place, and he has even yet led Greeks into the temple, and polluted this holy place.
29 Balobaki bongo mpo ete, liboso, bamonaki Polo elongo na Trofime, moto ya Efeso, kati na engumba mpe bakanisaki ete Polo akotisaki ye kati na Tempelo.
For they saw Trophimus the Ephesian in the city with him, whom they supposed that Paul led into the temple.
30 Mobulu makasi ekotaki kati na engumba mobimba, mpe ebele ya bato oyo bawutaki bipai na bipai bayaki na lombangu. Bakangaki Polo, babimisaki ye libanda ya Tempelo mpe, mbala moko, bakangaki bikuke na yango.
And the whole city was excited, and there was a commotion of the people: and taking Paul, they dragged him out of the temple; and immediately the doors were closed.
31 Wana bazalaki koluka koboma Polo, sango ekomaki kino na matoyi ya mokonzi ya basoda ya Rome ete mobulu ekoti kati na Yelusalemi mobimba.
And seeking to kill him, the report went up to the chiliarch of the band, that all Jerusalem is in commotion;
32 Mbala moko, azwaki basoda elongo na bakonzi na bango, mpe bakendeki na lombangu epai ebele ya bato bazalaki. Tango kaka bamonaki mokonzi ya basoda elongo na basoda na ye, batikaki kobeta Polo.
who immediately, taking soldiers and centurions, ran to them: and they, seeing the chiliarch and the soldiers, ceased beating Paul.
33 Mokonzi ya basoda apusanaki, akangaki Polo mpe apesaki mitindo ete bakanga ye minyololo mibale. Bongo atunaki soki Polo azali nani mpe asali nini.
Then the chiliarch, having come nigh, took Paul, and commanded that he should be bound with two chains; and was making inquiry who he might be, and what he had done.
34 Kati na ebele ya bato oyo batondaki wana, bamoko bazalaki koganga mpo na likambo moko, mpe bamosusu, mpo na likambo mosusu. Lokola mokonzi ya basoda azalaki kososola te bosolo ya likambo, mpo na mobulu oyo ebimaki, apesaki mitindo ete bamema Polo kati na lopango ya basoda.
And they continued to cry aloud in the multitude, some one thing, and some another: and he, being unable to know the certainty on account of the uproar, commanded that he should be led into the castle.
35 Tango Polo atiaki matambe na ye na binyatelo ya ematelo, basoda bakumbaki ye, mpo ete bato bazalaki kotia mobulu makasi.
Then when he was on the threshold, it happened that he was carried by the soldiers, on account of the violence of the mob;
36 Bato nyonso bazalaki kolanda ye na koganga: — Akufa!
for the multitude of the people were following, crying out, Take him away.
37 Wana balingaki kokotisa ye kati na lopango ya basoda, Polo atunaki mokonzi ya basoda: — Nakoki koyebisa yo likambo moko? Mokonzi ya basoda atunaki Polo: — Oyebi koloba lokota ya Greki?
And Paul, being about to be led into the castle, says to the chiliarch, Is it lawful for me to say something to thee? And he said, Do you speak Greek?
38 Boni, ezali yo te moto ya Ejipito oyo akotisaki mobulu na mikolo oyo eleki mpe amemaki batomboki nkoto minei kati na esobe?
Are you not that Egyptian who before these days rising up and leading away into the desert four hundred men of daggers?
39 Polo azongisaki: — Te, ezali ngai te! Ngai nazali Moyuda ya Tarse, kati na mokili ya Silisi, mpe moto ya engumba moko ya tina mingi. Nabondeli yo, pesa ngai nzela ya koloba na bato.
But Paul said, I am indeed a Jewish man, a Tarsean, a citizen of Cilicia, no mean city: but, I pray you, permit me to speak to the people.
40 Sima na mokonzi ya basoda kopesa ye nzela, Polo atelemaki na binyatelo mpe atombolaki loboko. Bato batikaki makelele, mpe Polo akomaki koloba na bango na lokota ya Arami:
And he permitting, Paul, standing on the threshold, beckoned with his hand to the people: and there being great silence, he spoke to them in the Hebrew tongue, saying:
