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 were parted from them, and had set sail, we came with a straight course unto Cos, and the next day unto Rhodes, and from thence unto Patara:
2 Kuna, tomonaki masuwa moko oyo ezalaki kokende na Fenisi; tomataki kati na yango mpe tokendeki.
and having found a ship crossing over unto Phoenicia, 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 when we had come in sight of Cyprus, leaving it on the left hand, we sailed unto Syria, and landed at Tyre: for there the ship was to unlade her burden.
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 having found the disciples, we tarried there seven days: and these said to Paul through the Spirit, that he should not set foot in 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 had accomplished the days, we departed and went on our journey; and they all, with wives and children, brought us on our way, till we were out of the city: and kneeling down on the beach, we prayed,
6 Sima na kopesana mbote ya suka, tomataki na masuwa, mpe bango bazongaki na bandako na bango.
and bade each other farewell; and we went on board the ship, but they returned home again.
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 when we had finished the voyage from Tyre, we arrived at Ptolemais; and we saluted the brethren, and abode 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 morrow we departed, and came unto Caesarea: and entering into the house of Philip the evangelist, who was 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.
Now this man had four daughters, virgins, which did prophesy.
10 Lokola tovandaki wana mikolo ebele, mosakoli moko, kombo na ye ezalaki Agabisi, awutaki na Yuda
And as we tarried there many days, there came down from Judaea a certain prophet, named Agabus.
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, and taking Paul’s girdle, he bound his own feet and hands, and said, Thus saith the Holy Ghost, So shall the Jews at Jerusalem bind the man that owneth this girdle, and shall 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 they of that place besought 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 answered, What do ye, weeping and breaking my heart? for I am ready not to be bound only, 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 we took up our baggage, and 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 there went with us also [certain] of the disciples from Caesarea, bringing [with them] one Mnason of Cyprus, an early disciple, with whom we should lodge.
17 Tango tokomaki na Yelusalemi, bandeko bayambaki biso na esengo.
And when we were come to Jerusalem, the brethren received us gladly.
18 Mokolo oyo elandaki, Polo amemaki biso epai ya Jake, mpe bakambi nyonso ya Lingomba bayaki kuna.
And the day following Paul went in with us unto 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 when he had saluted them, he rehearsed one by one the things which God had wrought 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 they, when they heard it, glorified God; and they said unto him, Thou seest, brother, how many thousands there are among the Jews of them which have believed; 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.
and they have been informed concerning thee, that thou teachest all the Jews which are among the Gentiles to forsake Moses, telling them not to circumcise their children, neither to walk after the customs.
22 Boye tosala nini? Pamba te bakoyoka kaka ete okomi awa.
What is it therefore? they will certainly hear that thou art come.
23 Sala makambo oyo tokoyebisa yo: Tozali awa na mibali minei oyo balapa ndayi.
Do therefore this that we say to thee: We have four men which have a vow on 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.
these take, and purify thyself with them, and be at charges for them, that they may shave their heads: and all shall know that there is no truth in the things whereof they have been informed concerning thee; but that thou thyself also walkest orderly, 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 as touching the Gentiles which have believed, we wrote, giving judgment that they should keep themselves from things sacrificed to idols, and from blood, and from what 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 purifying himself with them went into the temple, declaring the fulfillment of the days of purification, until the offering was 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
And when the seven days were almost completed, the Jews from Asia, when they saw him in the temple, stirred up all the multitude, and laid hands on 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, Men of Israel, help: This is the man, that teacheth all men everywhere against the people, and the law, and this place: and moreover he brought Greeks also into the temple, and hath defiled 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 before seen with him in the city Trophimus the Ephesian, whom they supposed 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 all the city was moved, and the people ran together: and they laid hold on Paul, and dragged him out of the temple: and straightway the doors 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 as they were seeking to kill him, tidings came up to the chief captain of the band, 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.
And forthwith he took soldiers and centurions, and ran down upon them: and they, when they saw the chief captain and the soldiers, left off 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 chief captain came near, and laid hold on him, and commanded 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 shouted one thing, some another, among the crowd: and when he could not know the certainty for the uproar, he commanded him to be brought into the castle.
35 Tango Polo atiaki matambe na ye na binyatelo ya ematelo, basoda bakumbaki ye, mpo ete bato bazalaki kotia mobulu makasi.
And when he came upon the stairs, so it was, that he was borne of the soldiers for the violence of the crowd;
36 Bato nyonso bazalaki kolanda ye na koganga: — Akufa!
for the multitude of the people followed after, 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?
And as Paul was about to be brought into the castle, he saith unto the chief captain, May I say something unto thee? And he said, Dost thou know Greek?
38 Boni, ezali yo te moto ya Ejipito oyo akotisaki mobulu na mikolo oyo eleki mpe amemaki batomboki nkoto minei kati na esobe?
Art thou not then the Egyptian, which before these days stirred up to sedition and led out into the wilderness the four thousand men of the Assassins?
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 a Jew, of Tarsus in Cilicia, a citizen of no mean city: and I beseech thee, give me leave to speak unto 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 when he had given him leave, Paul, standing on the stairs, beckoned with the hand unto the people; and when there was made a great silence, he spake unto them in the Hebrew language, saying,
