Acts 3
1 Lumbu kimosi mu thangu yintatu yi masika, Piela ayi Yowani bayenda ku lusambulu ku Nzo Nzambi.
And Peter and John were going up at the same time into the temple, at the hour of the prayer, the ninth [hour],
2 Banata mutu wuba dikoka tona kabutuka. Baba kuntulanga kadika lumbuva muelo Nzo Nzambi, wowo wuba ntedolongo: “Muelo kitoko” mu diambu di lombanga lusadusu kuidi batu bobo baba kotanga mu Nzo Nzambi.
and a certain man, being lame from the womb of his mother, was being carried, whom they were laying every day at the gate of the temple, called Beautiful, to ask a kindness from those entering into the temple,
3 Mutu beni bu kamona ti Piela ayi Yowani beka kota mu nzo Nzambi, wuba lomba lusadusu.
who, having seen Peter and John about to go into the temple, was begging to receive a kindness.
4 Piela ayi Yowani bansungimina kuntala, bosi Piela wunkamba: —Wututadi!
And Peter, having looked steadfastly toward him with John, said, “Look toward us”;
5 Dikoka beni dieka batala, dibanzila ti beka kumvana lusadusu.
and he was giving heed to them, looking to receive something from them;
6 Vayi Piela wutuba: —Ndisi kadi palata ko voti nolo ko bikuvana vayi biobi bidi yama ndieka kuvana biawu: Mu dizina di Yesu Klisto, muisi Nazaleti, telama ayi diata kuaku!
and Peter said, “I have no silver and gold, but what I have, that I give to you; in the Name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, rise up and be walking.”
7 Bu kansimba mu koko ku lubakala, wuntelimisa. Mu yina yawu thangu, bitambi biandi ayi bikodi biandi bikinda.
And having seized him by the right hand, he raised [him] up, and instantly his feet and ankles were strengthened,
8 Wudumuka, wutelama ayi wudiata. Wukota yawu va kimosimu Nzo Nzambi, wundiata, wundumuka ayi wunkembisa Nzambi.
and springing up, he stood, and was walking, and entered with them into the temple, walking and springing, and praising God;
9 Batu boso bammona wulembo diati ayi wulembo kembisa Nzambi.
and all the people saw him walking and praising God,
10 Bazaba ti niandi wuba mvuandanga va “muelo kitoko” wu Nzo Nzambi. Batu basimina, bamona tsisi bu bamona mambu momo mavangama mu niandi.
and they knew him, that this it was who for a kindness was sitting at the Beautiful Gate of the temple, and they were filled with wonder and amazement at what has happened to him.
11 Mutu beni bu kasimbidila Piela ayi Yowani; buna batu boso basimina, bazawula ku baba ku ndambu yi nzo yiba ntedilanga “Velanda yi Solomo”.
And at the lame man who was healed holding Peter and John, all the people ran together to them in the porch called Solomon’s—greatly amazed,
12 Piela bu kamona bobo, wukamba batu: —A beno basi Iseli, bila mbi lulembo siminina mu diambu diadi e? Voti bila mbi lulembo tutadila bobo banga ti mu lulendo lueto veka ayi mu buvedila bueto tutelimisini mutu beni e?
and Peter having seen, answered to the people, “Men, Israelites! Why do you wonder at this? Or why do you look on us so earnestly, as if by our own power or piety we have made him to walk?
13 Nzambi yi Abalahami, yi Isaki, yi Yakobi ayi Nzambi yi bakulu beto niandi wukembisidi kisadi kiandi Yesu, diodi beno luyekula ayi diodi lutunuka va ntuala Pilatu mu thangu kabaka lukanu lu kunyekula.
The God of Abraham, and of Isaac, and of Jacob, the God of our fathers, glorified His child Jesus, whom you delivered up, and denied Him in the presence of Pilate, he having given judgment to release [Him],
14 Vayi beno lutunuka mutu wunlongo ayi wu busonga, vayi beno luzola ti baluyekudila mvondi.
and you denied the Holy and Righteous One, and desired a man—a murderer—to be granted to you,
15 Beno luvondisa tho yi Luzingu, yoyi Nzambi kafulukisa mu bafua. Beto tuidi bambangi ba mambu momo.
and the Prince of life you killed, whom God raised out of the dead, of which we are witnesses;
16 Mu minu mu dizina diandi, mutu wawu wu lulembo moni ayi wu luzebi, kabakidi zingolo. Mu dizina di Yesu ayi mu minu kioki kidi mu niandi mutu wawu kabelukididi banga bu lulembo monina beno boso.
and on the faith of His Name, this one whom you see and have known, His Name made strong, even the faith that [is] through Him gave to him this perfect soundness before you all.
17 Buabu bakhomba ziama, nzebi ti beno ayi bapfumu beno luvangila buawu mu kambu ku zaba, beno ayi bapfumu zieno.
And now, brothers, I have known that through ignorance you did [it], as also your rulers;
18 Vayi Nzambi wudedikisa mambu momo katuba mu mimbikudi miosoti Klisto andi kafueti mona phasi.
and God, what things He had declared before through the mouth of all His prophets, that the Christ should suffer, He thus fulfilled;
19 Lubalula mavanga meno ayi luvutuka kuidi Nzambi muingi masumu meno malemvokolo.
convert, therefore, and turn back, for your sins being blotted out, that times of refreshing may come from the presence of the LORD,
20 Buna Pfumu wela kuluvana zithangu zivundila ayi wela kulufidisila Yesu: Klisto mutu wowo kalukubikila tona thama.
and He may send Jesus Christ who before has been preached to you,
21 Vayi kafueti tuama vuanda ku Diyilu nate mu thangu mambu moso mela kituka mamona banga bobo buyolukila Nzambi mu miunu mi mimbikudi miandi minlongo. (aiōn g165)
whom Heaven required, indeed, to receive until times of a restitution of all things, of which God spoke through the mouth of all His holy prophets from the age. (aiōn g165)
22 Moyize wutuba thama ti: Pfumu, Nzambi eno, wela kulutotudila mbikudi va khatitsika bakhomba zieno banga minu. Beno luela kunwa mu mambu moso, momo kalenda kulukamba.
For Moses, indeed, said to the fathers—The LORD your God will raise up a Prophet to you out of your brothers, like to me; you will hear Him in all things, as many as He may speak to you;
23 Ayi vela ba ti woso mutu wela kambu wila mbikudi wowo, wela zimbukusu va khatitsika di batu.
and it will be, every soul that may not hear that Prophet will be utterly destroyed out of the people;
24 Ayi mimbikudi mioso nkutu tona Samueli nate mimbikudi mioso minlandakana, bayolukila bilumbu biabi.
and also all the prophets from Samuel and those following in order, as many as spoke, also foretold of these days.
25 Beno luidi bana ba mimbikudi ayi bana ba Nguizani yoyi Nzambi kawizinina ayi bakulu beto bu kakamba Abalahami ti: mu nkunꞌaku makanda moso ma ntoto mela sakumunu.
You are sons of the prophets, and of the covenant that God made to our fathers, saying to Abraham: And in your Seed will all the families of the earth be blessed;
26 Mu diambu dieno theti Nzambi kafulukisila kisadi kiandi mu bafua. Wuntuma muingi kalusakumuna ayi kabotula kadika mutu, mu beno, mu masumu.
to you first, God, having raised up His child Jesus, sent Him, blessing you, in the turning away of each one from your evil ways.”
