Acts 11
1 Nowe the Apostles and the brethren that were in Iudea, heard, that the Gentiles had also receiued the worde of God.
Bantoma mpe bandimi oyo bazalaki kati na Yuda bayokaki sango ete bato ya bikolo ya bapaya mpe bandimaki Liloba na Nzambe.
2 And when Peter was come vp to Hierusalem, they of the circumcision contended against him,
Boye, tango Petelo azongaki na Yelusalemi, Bayuda oyo bandimelaki Yesu bapamelaki ye
3 Saying, Thou wentest in to men vncircumcised, and hast eaten with them.
mpe balobaki: — Okotaki na ndako ya bato ya bikolo ya bapaya mpe oliaki elongo na bango!
4 Then Peter beganne, and expounded the thing in order to them, saying,
Petelo ayebisaki bango makambo nyonso, ndenge esalemaki; alobaki na bango:
5 I was in the citie of Ioppa, praying, and in a trance I sawe this vision, A certaine vessell comming downe as it had bene a great sheete, let downe from heauen by the foure corners, and it came to me.
— Wana nazalaki kati na engumba Jafa mpe nazalaki kosambela, nakweyaki na Molimo mpe nazwaki emoniseli. Namonaki eloko moko lokola elamba monene basimba na basonge na yango minei kokita wuta na Likolo, mpe ekomaki kino na esika oyo nazalaki.
6 Towarde the which when I had fastened mine eyes, I considered, and sawe foure footed beastes of the earth, and wilde beastes, and creeping things, and foules of the heauen.
Tango natalaki yango malamu, namonaki kati na yango banyama ya mabele, oyo ezali na makolo minei; banyama ya zamba, banyama oyo etambolaka na libumu mpe bandeke ya likolo.
7 Also I heard a voyce, saying vnto me, Arise, Peter: slay and eate.
Nayokaki mpe mongongo moko koloba na ngai: « Petelo, telema! Boma mpe lia. »
8 And I said, God forbid, Lord: for nothing polluted or vncleane hath at any time entred into my mouth.
Kasi nazongisaki: « Te, Nkolo! Natikala nanu kolia te eloko ya mbindo to ya bosoto. »
9 But the voyce answered me the seconde time from heauen, The things that God hath purified, pollute thou not.
Mongongo yango elobaki lisusu, wuta na likolo, mpo na mbala ya mibale: « Eloko nyonso oyo Nzambe akomisi peto, yo, komona yango mbindo te! »
10 And this was done three times, and all were taken vp againe into heauen.
Esalemaki bongo mbala misato. Bongo babendaki nyonso kati na Likolo.
11 Then behold, immediatly there were three men already come vnto the house where I was, sent from Cesarea vnto me.
Kaka na tango yango, bato misato bakomaki na ndako epai wapi nazalaki kovanda; batindaki bango epai na ngai longwa na Sezarea.
12 And the Spirit saide vnto me, that I should go with them, without doubting: moreouer these sixe brethren came with me, and we entred into the mans house.
Molimo alobaki na ngai ete natia tembe te mpo na kokende elongo na bango. Bandeko motoba bakendeki elongo na ngai kino na Sezarea, mpe tokotaki na ndako ya moto yango.
13 And he shewed vs, howe he had seene an Angel in his house, which stoode and said to him, Send men to Ioppa, and call for Simon, whose surname is Peter.
Moto yango ayebisaki biso ndenge nini amonaki anjelu kobimela ye kati na ndako na ye mpe koloba na ye: « Tinda bato, na Jafa, mpo bakende kobenga Simona oyo kombo na ye mosusu ezali Petelo.
14 He shall speake wordes vnto thee, whereby both thou and all thine house shalbe saued.
Akoyebisa yo maloba oyo, na nzela na yango, okozwa lobiko, yo mpe libota na yo mobimba! »
15 And as I began to speake, the holy Ghost fell on them, euen as vpon vs at the beginning.
Wana nazalaki nanu koloba, Molimo Mosantu akitelaki bango ndenge kaka akitelaki biso na ebandeli.
16 Then I remembred the word of the Lord, howe he said, Iohn baptized with water, but ye shalbe baptized with the holy Ghost.
Mbala moko, nakanisaki lisusu maloba oyo Nkolo alobaki: « Yoane abatisaki na mayi; kasi bino, bokobatisama kati na Molimo Mosantu. »
17 For as much then as God gaue them a like gift, as he did vnto vs, when we beleeued in the Lord Iesus Christ, who was I, that I coulde let God?
Soki Nzambe apesaki bango likabo ya ndenge moko na biso oyo tondimelaki Nkolo Yesu-Klisto, bongo ngai nde nani mpo ete nakoka koboya makambo oyo Nzambe alingi?
18 When they heard these things, they helde their peace, and glorified God, saying, Then hath God also to the Gentiles graunted repentance vnto life.
Tango bayokaki bongo, bazangaki maloba ya kobakisa, mpe bakomaki kokumisa Nzambe na maloba oyo: « Nzambe asali ete ata bato ya bikolo ya bapaya babongola mitema mpo bazwa bomoi. »
19 And they which were scattered abroade because of the affliction that arose about Steuen, went throughout till they came vnto Phenice and Cyprus, and Antiochia, preaching the worde to no man, but vnto the Iewes onely.
Nzokande, bandimi oyo bapalanganaki mpo na kokima minyoko oyo eyaki tango babomaki Etieni, bakimaki kino na Fenisi, na Shipre mpe na Antioshe. Mpe kuna, bazalaki kosakola Sango Malamu epai ya moto mosusu te, kaka epai ya Bayuda.
20 Now some of them were men of Cyprus and of Cyrene, which when they were come into Antiochia, spake vnto the Grecians, and preached the Lord Iesus.
Kasi bamosusu kati na bango, bato ya Shipre mpe ya Sirene, bakendeki na Antioshe mpe bakomaki koteya Sango Malamu ya Nkolo Yesu epai ya bato oyo balobaka lokota ya Greki.
21 And the hand of the Lord was with them, so that a great number beleeued and turned vnto the Lord.
Nguya ya Nkolo ezalaki elongo na bango, mpe bato ebele penza bandimaki mpe bamipesaki na Nkolo.
22 Then tydings of those things came vnto the eares of the Church, which was in Hierusalem, and they sent foorth Barnabas, that he should goe vnto Antiochia.
Sango yango ekomaki kino na Lingomba ya Yelusalemi, mpe batindaki Barnabasi, na Antioshe.
23 Who when he was come and had seene the grace of God, was glad, and exhorted all, that with purpose of heart they would continue in the Lord.
Tango akomaki kuna mpe amonaki ndenge nini Nzambe apambolaki bango, asepelaki makasi mpe alendisaki bango nyonso ete bakangama makasi na Nkolo, na mitema na bango mobimba.
24 For he was a good man, and full of the holy Ghost, and faith, and much people ioyned them selues vnto the Lord.
Solo, Barnabasi azalaki moto malamu, azalaki atondisama na Molimo Mosantu mpe na kondima. Bato ebele bakangamaki na Nkolo.
25 Then departed Barnabas to Tarsus to seeke Saul:
Bongo, Barnabasi akendeki na Tarse mpo na koluka Saulo;
26 And when he had founde him, he brought him vnto Antiochia: and it came to passe that a whole yere they were conuersant with ye Church, and taught much people, in so much that the disciples were first called Christians in Antiochia.
mpe tango amonaki ye, amemaki ye na Antioshe. Mobu mobimba, Barnabasi mpe Saulo basalaki elongo kati na Lingomba, mpe bateyaki bato ebele. Ezalaki na Antioshe nde bayekoli babengamaki, mpo na mbala ya liboso, Baklisto.
27 In those dayes also came Prophets from Hierusalem vnto Antiochia.
Na mikolo wana, ndambo ya basakoli bakendeki na Antioshe longwa na Yelusalemi.
28 And there stoode vp one of them named Agabus, and signified by the Spirit, that there should be great famine throughout all the world, which also came to passe vnder Claudius Cesar.
Moko kati na bango, kombo na ye ezalaki « Agabisi; » atelemaki mpe asakolaki na nguya ya Molimo ete nzala makasi ekoya na bamboka nyonso oyo bato ya Rome bazali kokonza. Nzala yango ekotaki na tango ya mokonzi Klode.
29 Then the disciples, euery man according to his ability, purposed to sende succour vnto the brethren which dwelt in Iudea.
Bayekoli oyo bazalaki kati na Antioshe bazwaki mokano ya kotinda masungi, moko na moko kolanda bozwi na ye, epai ya bandeko oyo bazalaki kovanda na Yuda.
30 Which thing they also did, and sent it to the Elders, by the hand of Barnabas and Saul.
Basalaki bongo: batindaki masungi na bango epai ya bakambi ya Lingomba, na nzela ya Barnabasi mpe Saulo.
