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.
Now, as soon as we had withdrawn from them, and had set sail, we came with a direct course to Coos, and the next day to Rhodes, and from thence to Patara.
2 Kuna, tomonaki masuwa moko oyo ezalaki kokende na Fenisi; tomataki kati na yango mpe tokendeki.
And finding a ship passing over Phenicia, we went aboard, and set sail.
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 within sight of Cyprus, and leaving it on the left hand, we sailed to Syria, and landed at Tyre; for there the ship was to unload its freight.
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 we continued there several days, finding disciples, who told Paul, by the Spirit, not to go up 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.
But when we had finished these seven days, we departed, and went our way, and they all attended us out of the city, with their wives and children; and, kneeling down on the seashore, we prayed.
6 Sima na kopesana mbote ya suka, tomataki na masuwa, mpe bango bazongaki na bandako na bango.
And having embraced each other, we went on board the ship; and they returned back to their own houses.
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 finishing our course, we came from Tyre to Ptolemais, and embracing the brethren, we continued 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 next day we departed, and came to Cesarea, and entering into the house of Philip, the evangelist, who was one of the seven, we lodged with him.
9 Azalaki na bana basi minei oyo bayebaki nanu nzoto ya mibali te, mpe bazalaki na likabo ya kosakola.
Now he had four virgin daughters, who were prophetesses.
10 Lokola tovandaki wana mikolo ebele, mosakoli moko, kombo na ye ezalaki Agabisi, awutaki na Yuda
And as we continued there many days, a certain prophet, whose name was 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 coming to us, he took up Paul's girdle, and binding his own hands and feet, he said, Thus says the Holy Spirit, So shall the Jews at Jerusalem bind the man whose girdle this is, and deliver him 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 things, both we, and the inhabitants of that place, entreated him, that he would not 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.
But Paul answered, What do you mean, thus weeping, and breaking my heart? for I am ready, not only to be bound; but also to die at 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 when he would not be persuaded, we ceased; saying, 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 these days, making up our baggage, 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 also from Cesarea, went along with us, and brought us to one Mnason, a Cyprian, and old disciple, with whom we should lodge.
17 Tango tokomaki na Yelusalemi, bandeko bayambaki biso na esengo.
And when we were arrived at Jerusalem, the brethren received us with pleasure.
18 Mokolo oyo elandaki, Polo amemaki biso epai ya Jake, mpe bakambi nyonso ya Lingomba bayaki kuna.
And the next day Paul entered in with us to James; and all the elders were present.
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 embraced them, he gave them a particular account of those things which God had done among the Gentiles by 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 when they heard it, they glorified God, and said to him, Brother, you see how many myriads of believing Jews there are: and they are all zealous for 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.
Now, they have been informed of you, that you teach all the Jews, which are among the Gentiles, to apostatize from Moses, saying, that they ought not to circumcise their children, nor to walk according to the customs.
22 Boye tosala nini? Pamba te bakoyoka kaka ete okomi awa.
What is it then? The multitude must, by all means, come together; for they will hear that you are come.
23 Sala makambo oyo tokoyebisa yo: Tozali awa na mibali minei oyo balapa ndayi.
Therefore, do this that we say to you: there are with us four men who have 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.
take them, and purify yourself with them, and be at charges for them, that they may shave their heads: and all will know that there is nothing in those things which they have heard of you; but that you yourself walk regularly, 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.
As for the believing Gentiles, we have written, determining that they should observe none of these things; except it be to keep themselves from what is offered to idols, and from blood, and from that which is strangled, and from 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 took the men, and the next day, being purified with them, entered into the temple, declaring the accomplishment of the days of purification, till an offering should be offered for every 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
But as the seven days were about to be accomplished, the Jews that were from Asia, seeing him in the temple, threw all the populace into confusion, and laid hands upon him,
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.
crying out, Israelites, help! This is the man that everywhere teaches all men contrary to the people, and to the law, and to this place; and has even brought 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 had been seen Trophimus, the Ephesian, in the city with him, whom they imagined that Paul had brought 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 moved, and there was a concourse of the people; and laying hold of Paul, they dragged him out of the temple: and immediately the gates were shut.
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 when they went about to kill him, word was brought to the commander of the cohort, that all Jerusalem was in confusion:
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 took soldiers, and centurions, and ran in among them. And when they saw the commander and the soldiers, they ceased from 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 commander drew near, and took him; and ordered him to be bound with two chains, and inquired who he was, 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 some among the multitude cried out one thing, and some another: and as he could not know the certainty, by reason of the tumult, he commanded him to be carried into the castle.
35 Tango Polo atiaki matambe na ye na binyatelo ya ematelo, basoda bakumbaki ye, mpo ete bato bazalaki kotia mobulu makasi.
But when he was upon the stairs, it came to pass that he was borne by the soldiers, because of the violence of the crowd.
36 Bato nyonso bazalaki kolanda ye na koganga: — Akufa!
For the multitude of the people followed, crying out, Away with him!
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?
But as Paul was going to be brought into the castle, he said to the commander, May I be allowed to speak to you? And he said, Can 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 did, before these days, stir up a sedition, and led out into the wilderness four thousand murderers?
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 Jew, of Tarsus, in Cilicia, a citizen of no inconsiderable city; and I entreat 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 on his giving permission, Paul standing on the stairs, beckoned with his hand to the people; and when there was a great silence, he addressed them in the Hebrew dialect, saying:
