< Misala ya Bantoma 5 >
1 Nzokande, ezalaki na moto moko na kombo Ananiasi. Atekaki eteni ya mabele na ye na boyokani na Safira, mwasi na ye.
But a certain man named Ananias, with Sapphira his wife, sold a possession,
2 Abombaki ndambo ya mbongo mpo na ye moko, boye amemaki ndambo oyo etikalaki mpe apesaki yango na bantoma. Mwasi na ye mpe ayebaki yango.
And kept back [part] of the price, his wife also being privy [to it], and brought a certain part, and laid [it] at the apostles’ feet.
3 Boye, Petelo atunaki ye: — Ananiasi, ndenge nini Satana atondisi motema na yo mpo ete okosa Molimo Mosantu, mpe obomba ndambo ya mbongo oyo otekeli elanga na yo?
But Peter said, Ananias, why hath Satan filled thine heart to lie to the Holy Ghost, and to keep back [part] of the price of the land?
4 Boni, liboso ete oteka yango, ezalaki ya yo te? Mpe sima na koteka yango, okokaki te kosala na mbongo yango likambo nyonso oyo motema na yo elingi? Mpo na nini ozwaki likanisi ya kosala likambo ya boye? Okosi bato te, kasi okosi nde Nzambe!
Whiles it remained, was it not thine own? and after it was sold, was it not in thine own power? why hast thou conceived this thing in thine heart? thou hast not lied unto men, but unto God.
5 Tango Ananiasi ayokaki bongo, akweyaki mpe akufaki. Bongo, bato nyonso oyo bayokaki likambo yango batondaki na somo.
And Ananias hearing these words fell down, and gave up the ghost: and great fear came on all them that heard these things.
6 Boye, bilenge mibali bayaki, bazipaki nzoto na ye mpe bamemaki yango libanda mpo na kokunda yango.
And the young men arose, wound him up, and carried [him] out, and buried [him].
7 Sima na ngonga pene misato, mwasi ya Ananiasi akotaki, kasi ayebaki te likambo oyo ewutaki kosalema.
And it was about the space of three hours after, when his wife, not knowing what was done, came in.
8 Petelo atunaki ye: — Yebisa ngai, ezali na talo wana nde yo mpe Ananiasi botekaki elanga wana? Safira azongisaki: — Ezali bongo, etekamaki Kaka na talo wana.
And Peter answered unto her, Tell me whether ye sold the land for so much? And she said, Yea, for so much.
9 Petelo alobaki na ye: — Mpo na nini boyokanaki mpo na komeka Molimo ya Nkolo? Yoka, makolo ya bato oyo bawuti kokunda mobali na yo esili kokoma liboso ya ekuke; yo mpe, bakomema yo.
Then Peter said unto her, How is it that ye have agreed together to tempt the Spirit of the Lord? behold, the feet of them which have buried thy husband [are] at the door, and shall carry thee out.
10 Kaka na tango yango, akweyaki liboso ya Petelo mpe akufaki. Boye tango bilenge mibali bakotaki, bakutaki ye ya kokufa. Bamemaki ye mpe bakendeki kokunda ye pembeni ya mobali na ye.
Then fell she down straightway at his feet, and yielded up the ghost: and the young men came in, and found her dead, and, carrying [her] forth, buried [her] by her husband.
11 Somo monene etondisaki Lingomba mobimba mpe bato nyonso oyo bayokaki sango yango.
And great fear came upon all the church, and upon as many as heard these things.
12 Bantoma bazalaki kosala bilembo mingi ya kokamwa mpe misala minene kati na bato. Boye, bandimi nyonso bazalaki na momesano ya kosangana na veranda ya Salomo.
And by the hands of the apostles were many signs and wonders wrought among the people; (and they were all with one accord in Solomon’s porch.
13 Moko te kati na bato oyo bazalaki na lisanga na bango te azalaki komeka kosangana na bango, ata bato bazalaki kopesa bango lokumu mingi.
And of the rest durst no man join himself to them: but the people magnified them.
14 Nzokande, mibali mpe basi ebele penza bazalaki kondimela Nkolo mpe kobakisama na lisanga na bango.
And believers were the more added to the Lord, multitudes both of men and women.)
15 Bongo, bazalaki komema babeli na babalabala, kolalisa bango na bambeto mpe na bitoko mpo ete tango Petelo akoleka, elilingi na ye ekoka kozipa bamoko kati na bango.
Insomuch that they brought forth the sick into the streets, and laid [them] on beds and couches, that at the least the shadow of Peter passing by might overshadow some of them.
16 Mpe lisusu, bato ebele oyo bazalaki kowuta na bingumba ya zingazinga bazalaki kosangana na Yelusalemi; bazalaki komema babeli na bango mpe bato oyo bazalaki kotungisama na milimo ya mbindo; mpe bango nyonso bazalaki kobikisama.
There came also a multitude [out] of the cities round about unto Jerusalem, bringing sick folks, and them which were vexed with unclean spirits: and they were healed every one.
17 Bongo mokonzi ya Banganga-Nzambe mpe bato nyonso oyo bazalaki kosala na ye elongo, oyo bazalaki bato ya lisanga ya Basaduseo, batondaki na zuwa.
Then the high priest rose up, and all they that were with him, (which is the sect of the Sadducees, ) and were filled with indignation,
18 Bakangaki bantoma mpe babwakaki bango na boloko ya monene.
And laid their hands on the apostles, and put them in the common prison.
19 Kasi na butu, anjelu moko ya Nkolo afungolaki bikuke ya boloko, abimisaki bantoma mpe alobaki na bango:
But the angel of the Lord by night opened the prison doors, and brought them forth, and said,
20 — Bokende kotelema kati na Tempelo mpe kuna, boyebisa bato maloba nyonso ya bomoi oyo ya sika.
Go, stand and speak in the temple to the people all the words of this life.
21 Bantoma batosaki. Boye, na tongo-tongo, bakotaki na Tempelo mpe bakomaki koteya bato. Tango mokonzi ya Banganga-Nzambe mpe bato oyo basalaka na ye elongo bakomaki, babengisaki Likita-Monene—lisanga mobimba ya bakambi ya bana ya Isalaele—mpe bapesaki mitindo ete bakende kozwa bantoma na boloko.
And when they heard [that], they entered into the temple early in the morning, and taught. But the high priest came, and they that were with him, and called the council together, and all the senate of the children of Israel, and sent to the prison to have them brought.
22 Kasi tango bakengeli bakomaki na boloko, bakutaki bango te. Bazongaki mpe balobaki:
But when the officers came, and found them not in the prison, they returned, and told,
23 — Tokuti boloko ya kokangama malamu mpe bakengeli liboso ya bikuke; kasi tango tofungoli yango, tomoni ata moto moko te na kati.
Saying, The prison truly found we shut with all safety, and the keepers standing without before the doors: but when we had opened, we found no man within.
24 Tango mokonzi ya bakengeli ya Tempelo mpe bakonzi ya Banganga-Nzambe bayokaki sango yango, bakomaki mitema likolo mpe bakomaki kotunana soki likambo yango ekosuka ndenge nini.
Now when the high priest and the captain of the temple and the chief priests heard these things, they doubted of them whereunto this would grow.
25 Bongo moto moko ayaki koyebisa bango: — Boyoka! Bato oyo bobwakaki na boloko, batelemi kuna na Tempelo mpe bazali koteya bato.
Then came one and told them, saying, Behold, the men whom ye put in prison are standing in the temple, and teaching the people.
26 Mbala moko, mokonzi ya bakengeli akendeki elongo na basoda na ye mpo na kozwa bantoma. Kasi amemaki bango na makasi te, pamba te bazalaki kobanga ete bato babamba bango mabanga.
Then went the captain with the officers, and brought them without violence: for they feared the people, lest they should have been stoned.
27 Wana bamemaki bango, batiaki bango liboso ya Likita-Monene, mpe mokonzi ya Banganga-Nzambe abandaki kotuna bango mituna.
And when they had brought them, they set [them] before the council: and the high priest asked them,
28 Alobaki: — Topekisaki bino ete bomeka lisusu te koteya na Kombo wana. Kasi tala sik’oyo ndenge botondisi Yelusalemi na mateya na bino mpe bolingi komemisa biso ngambo ya makila ya moto wana.
Saying, Did not we straitly command you that ye should not teach in this name? and, behold, ye have filled Jerusalem with your doctrine, and intend to bring this man’s blood upon us.
29 Kasi Petelo mpe bantoma mosusu bazongisaki: — Esengeli kotosa Nzambe, kasi bato te!
Then Peter and the [other] apostles answered and said, We ought to obey God rather than men.
30 Nzambe ya bakoko na biso asekwisaki Yesu kati na bakufi, Yesu oyo bino bobomaki mpe bobakaki na nzete.
The God of our fathers raised up Jesus, whom ye slew and hanged on a tree.
31 Ezali Ye nde Nzambe atomboli na nzela ya loboko na Ye ya mobali lokola Mokonzi mpe Mobikisi, mpo ete bana ya Isalaele bakoka kozwa nzela ya kobongola mitema mpe kozwa bolimbisi ya masumu na bango.
Him hath God exalted with his right hand [to be] a Prince and a Saviour, for to give repentance to Israel, and forgiveness of sins.
32 Biso, tozali batatoli ya makambo oyo; ndenge moko mpe Molimo Mosantu oyo Nzambe apesaki na bato oyo batosaka Ye azali motatoli ya makambo yango.
And we are his witnesses of these things; and [so is] also the Holy Ghost, whom God hath given to them that obey him.
33 Tango bayokaki bongo, batombokaki makasi mpe bazwaki mokano ya kobomisa bantoma.
When they heard [that], they were cut [to the heart], and took counsel to slay them.
34 Kasi Mofarizeo Gamalieli, molakisi ya Mobeko mpe moto ya lokumu mingi na miso ya bato nyonso, atelemaki kati na Likita-Monene mpe atindaki ete babimisa bantoma mpo na mwa tango moke.
Then stood there up one in the council, a Pharisee, named Gamaliel, a doctor of the law, had in reputation among all the people, and commanded to put the apostles forth a little space;
35 Alobaki na bango: — Bato ya Isalaele, bosala keba mpo na makambo oyo bolingi kosala bato oyo.
And said unto them, Ye men of Israel, take heed to yourselves what ye intend to do as touching these men.
36 Eleki mikolo mingi te, moto moko na kombo Teodasi awutaki kobima. Azalaki komimona moto monene, mpe bato pene nkama minei bazalaki kolanda ye. Kasi tango babomaki ye, bato nyonso oyo bazalaki kolanda ye bapalanganaki mpe lisanga na ye ekufaki.
For before these days rose up Theudas, boasting himself to be somebody; to whom a number of men, about four hundred, joined themselves: who was slain; and all, as many as obeyed him, were scattered, and brought to nought.
37 Sima na ye, tango tozalaki kotanga motango ya bato kati na mokili, moto moko mpe lisusu na kombo Yuda, moto ya Galile, abimaki mpe amemaki bato ebele na botomboki. Ye mpe lisusu babomaki ye, bongo bato nyonso oyo bazalaki kolanda ye bapalanganaki.
After this man rose up Judas of Galilee in the days of the taxing, and drew away much people after him: he also perished; and all, [even] as many as obeyed him, were dispersed.
38 Yango wana, na likambo oyo, boyoka toli na ngai: Bokota lisusu makambo ya bato oyo te mpe botika bango bakende! Pamba te soki makanisi to mosala na bango ewuti na moto, solo, ekosuka kaka na nzela.
And now I say unto you, Refrain from these men, and let them alone: for if this counsel or this work be of men, it will come to nought:
39 Kasi soki yango ewuti na Nzambe, solo, bokolonga te kosukisa bato oyo. Bosala keba ete bobundisa Nzambe te. Bato ya Likita-Monene bandimaki likanisi ya Gamalieli,
But if it be of God, ye can not overthrow it; lest haply ye be found even to fight against God.
40 babengisaki bantoma, babetisaki bango bafimbu mpe bapekisaki bango ete bateya lisusu Kombo ya Yesu te. Sima na yango batikaki bango kokende.
And to him they agreed: and when they had called the apostles, and beaten [them], they commanded that they should not speak in the name of Jesus, and let them go.
41 Bantoma balongwaki liboso ya Likita-Monene, na esengo mingi ya komona ete bakoki mpo na komona pasi na tina na Kombo na Yesu.
And they departed from the presence of the council, rejoicing that they were counted worthy to suffer shame for his name.
42 Mokolo na mokolo bazalaki kotika te koteya, mpe kosakola Sango Malamu na Tempelo to na ndako moko na moko ete Yesu azali Klisto.
And daily in the temple, and in every house, they ceased not to teach and preach Jesus Christ.
