Acts 15
1 Some men came down from Judea and taught the brothers, “Unless you are circumcised after the custom of Moses, you can’t be saved.”
Ndambu yi batu baba ku Yuda, balonga bakhomba, bu batuba: —Enati lukadi zengoso nitu yi kibakala banga bu tumina Mina mi Moyize, buna lulendi vuka ko.
2 Therefore when Paul and Barnabas had no small discord and discussion with them, they appointed Paul, Barnabas, and some others of them to go up to Jerusalem to the apostles and elders about this question.
Polo ayi Balinabasi baba vunisa ayi baba findisa ziphaka. Diawu babakila lukanu ti Polo ayi Balinabasi ayi ndambu yi batu mu bawu bafueti kuenda ku Yelusalemi kuidi bamvuala ayi bakulutu mu diambu di nsamu wowo.
3 They, being sent on their way by the assembly, passed through both Phoenicia and Samaria, declaring the conversion of the Gentiles. They caused great joy to all the brothers.
Dibundu diba sindika mu nzil'awu. Baviokila ku Fenisi ayi Samali. Buna basamuna phulusu yi Bapakanu; khini yiwombo bamonisa bakhomba.
4 When they had come to Jerusalem, they were received by the assembly and the apostles and the elders, and they reported everything that God had done with them.
Bu batula ku Yelusalemi, bayakulu kuidi dibundu, kuidi bamvuala ayi bakulutu ba dibundu. Bamana samuna mambu moso momo mavanga Nzambi mu nzil'awu.
5 But some of the sect of the Pharisees who believed rose up, saying, “It is necessary to circumcise them, and to command them to keep the law of Moses.”
Vayi ndambu yi batu, bobo bawilukila, baba mu dikabu di Bafalisi batelama ayi batuba ti: bufueni bazengoso nitu yi kibakala ayi balandakana Mina mi Moyize.
6 The apostles and the elders were gathered together to see about this matter.
Bamvuala ayi bakulutu ba dibundu bakutakana mu diambu di yindula nsamu wowo.
7 When there had been much discussion, Peter rose up and said to them, “Brothers, you know that a good while ago God made a choice among you that by my mouth the nations should hear the word of the Good News and believe.
Ziphaka zingolo zibua, buna Piela wutelama ayi wuba kamba: —A bakhomba! Luzebi beno veka ti tona thama, Nzambi wutsobula va khatitsik'eno mu diambu di longa Nsamu Wumboti kuidi Bapakanu muingi bawu bawilukila.
8 God, who knows the heart, testified about them, giving them the Holy Spirit, just like he did to us.
Nzambi zebi mintima mi batu, wuba telimina kimbangi bu kaba vana Pheve Yinlongo banga bu katuvanina.
9 He made no distinction between us and them, cleansing their hearts by faith.
Niandi kasia tula kadi luviakunu ko va khatitsika beto ayi bawu bu kavedisa mintima miawu mu minu.
10 Now therefore why do you tempt God, that you should put a yoke on the neck of the disciples which neither our fathers nor we were able to bear?
Vayi buabu bila mbi lueka totila Nzambi mu kuika va tsingu yi minlonguki mfuna wowo bakulu beto ayi beto veka katulendi natikisa ko e?
11 But we believe that we are saved through the grace of the Lord Jesus, just as they are.”
Vayi beto tuwilukidi ti mu nlemvo wu Pfumu eto Yesu tuvukidi. Buawu bobo buididi kuidi bawu mamvawu.
12 All the multitude kept silence, and they listened to Barnabas and Paul reporting what signs and wonders God had done among the nations through them.
Nkangu woso wuba dio sui! Bosi batu boso bawa Balinabasi ayi Polo basamuna bikumu ayi mambu manneni momo Nzambi kavanga mu bawu va khatitsika Bapakanu.
13 After they were silent, James answered, “Brothers, listen to me.
Buna bamanisa, Yoluka, Zaki wuvutula: —A zinkomba ziama, bika luwa mambu ndieka tuba!
14 Simeon has reported how God first visited the nations to take out of them a people for his name.
Simoni samuni buevi tona vana thonono Nzambi kabuminina Bapakanu mu diambu di sobula va khatitsik'awu dikanda di batu difueni muba batu bandi veka.
15 This agrees with the words of the prophets. As it is written,
Buawu bobo budedikinini mambu matuba mimbikudi, boso bu sonimina:
16 ‘After these things I will return. I will again build the tabernacle of David, which has fallen. I will again build its ruins. I will set it up
Mambu momo mawu vioka, ndiela vutuka; ayi ndiela buela tunga nzo yi Davidi, yoyi yibua. Ndiela buela tunga bibuangu bioso bitiolumuka, ndiela buela bifuanisa
17 that the rest of men may seek after the Lord: all the Gentiles who are called by my name, says the Lord, who does all these things.’
muingi batu bobo basiala batomba Pfumu va kimosi ayi Bapakanu boso bakubuku muba batu bama. Buawu bobo butubidi Pfumu Wuvanga mambu mama
Mazabikini mu zithangu zioso. (aiōn g165)
19 Therefore my judgment is that we don’t trouble those from among the Gentiles who turn to God,
Diawu minu mbueni, tubika yamisa Bapakanu bobo balembo baluka kuidi Nzambi.
20 but that we write to them that they abstain from the pollution of idols, from sexual immorality, from what is strangled, and from blood.
Vayi mboti tuba sonikina, mu kuba kamba ti: babika dianga zimbizi zisumuka, zitambuku makaba kuidi bitumba, babika kitsuza ayi babika dianga bibulu biobi bifuidi mu kambu totuka menga ayi babika dianga menga.
21 For Moses from generations of old has in every city those who preach him, being read in the synagogues every Sabbath.”
Bila mu zitsungi zithama, Moyize beki mu kadika divula minlongi miandi mieti tanga Mina mu bilumbu bioso bi saba mu zinzo zi zikhutukunu.
22 Then it seemed good to the apostles and the elders, with the whole assembly, to choose men out of their company, and send them to Antioch with Paul and Barnabas: Judas called Barsabbas, and Silas, chief men among the brothers.
Bosi bamvuala ayi bakulutu ba dibundu ayi badibundu boso bawizana mu sobula batu mu bawu ayi kuba fidisa ku Antioshi va kimosi ayi Polo ayi Balinabasi. Basobula Sila ayi Yuda diodi baba ntedilanga “Balisabasi” baba bakulutu va khatitsika bakhomba.
23 They wrote these things by their hand: “The apostles, the elders, and the brothers, to the brothers who are of the Gentiles in Antioch, Syria, and Cilicia: greetings.
Tala busonimina nkanda wowo babavana: —Beto bamvuala, bakulutu ba dibundu ayi bakhomba zieno, tueti vana mboti kuidi bakhomba badi mu makanda ma Bapakanu madi ku Antioshi, ku Sili ayi ku Silisi.
24 Because we have heard that some who went out from us have troubled you with words, unsettling your souls, saying, ‘You must be circumcised and keep the law,’ to whom we gave no commandment;
Banga bu tuwilu ti bakhomba bankaka zitotukila kuidi beto bayiza lusia mu divuda, mu diambu di mu mambu batuba bosi bayiza vudikisa miela mieno. Beto tusia bavana kadi lutumunu ko.
25 it seemed good to us, having come to one accord, to choose out men and send them to you with our beloved Barnabas and Paul,
Tumueni ti didi diambu dimboti, bu tumeni wizana, mu sobula batu buadi mu beto ayi kulufidisila bawu va kimosi ayi bakhomba zieto zi luzolo Balinabasi ayi Polo;
26 men who have risked their lives for the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.
bobo bayekula luzingu luawu mu diambu di dizina di Pfumu eto Yesu Klisto.
27 We have sent therefore Judas and Silas, who themselves will also tell you the same things by word of mouth.
Tufidisidi Yuda ayi Sila, bawu bela kulukamba mambu tulusonikini.
28 For it seemed good to the Holy Spirit, and to us, to lay no greater burden on you than these necessary things:
Bila dimonikini diambu dimboti kuidi Pheve Yinlongo ayi beto mu kambu kulukuika bizitu binkaka vayi mambu mama kaka ma nfunu:
29 that you abstain from things sacrificed to idols, from blood, from things strangled, and from sexual immorality, from which if you keep yourselves, it will be well with you. Farewell.”
lubika dianga zimbizi zitambuku makaba kuidi bitumba, lubika dianga menga, lubika dianga bibulu bifuidi mu kambu totuka menga; lubika kitsuza. Enati lukikebidi mu mambu momo, buna luvengi diambu di mboti. Lusiala mboti.
30 So, when they were sent off, they came to Antioch. Having gathered the multitude together, they delivered the letter.
Bawu bu basinduku, bayenda ku Antioshi. Bakutikisa nkangu wu batu, babavana nkanda beni.
31 When they had read it, they rejoiced over the encouragement.
Batu bamona khini bu bamana tanga nkanda beni bila wuba bomba.
32 Judas and Silas, also being prophets themselves, encouraged the brothers with many words and strengthened them.
Yuda ayi Sila sumbu baba mimbikudi, balonga bakhomba mu mambu mawombo ayi baba kindisa.
33 After they had spent some time there, they were dismissed in peace from the brothers to the apostles.
Bu bavuanda kuna ndambu bilumbu; bakhomba baba sindika mu ndembama kuidi bobo baba fidisa. [
Vayi Sila wuzenga mu siala ku Antioshi; Yuda wuvutuka niandi veka ku Yelusalemi.]
35 But Paul and Barnabas stayed in Antioch, teaching and preaching the word of the Lord, with many others also.
Polo ayi Balinabasi bavuanda ku Antioshi, va kimosi ayi bankaka, balonga ayi basamuna Mambu ma Pfumu.
36 After some days Paul said to Barnabas, “Let’s return now and visit our brothers in every city in which we proclaimed the word of the Lord, to see how they are doing.”
Ndambu bilumbu bu bivioka, Polo wukamba Balinabasi: —Bika tuvutuka bumina bakhomba badi mu mavula moso momo tulonga mambu ma Pfumu muingi tutala buevi badidi.
37 Barnabas planned to take John, who was called Mark, with them also.
Balinabasi wuzola nata Yowani, diodi baba ntedilanga Malako.
38 But Paul didn’t think that it was a good idea to take with them someone who had withdrawn from them in Pamphylia, and didn’t go with them to do the work.
Vayi Polo wumona ti buisi fuana ko mu nata mutu wowo wusia kuba tina tona ku Pamfili ayi wukambu sala yawu va kimosi.
39 Then the contention grew so sharp that they separated from each other. Barnabas took Mark with him and sailed away to Cyprus,
Polo ayi Balinabasi bazonza ayi bayiza vambana. Balinabasi wunata Malako, wukota mu masuwa ayi wuyenda ku Sipeli.
40 but Paul chose Silas and went out, being commended by the brothers to the grace of God.
Polo wubonga Sila ayi bayenda bakhomba bu zimana kuba yekula mu mioko mi Pfumu.
41 He went through Syria and Cilicia, strengthening the assemblies.
Wuviokila mu Sili ayi mu Silisi, wukindisa mabundu.
