Acts 16
1 And he came even unto Derbe, and unto Lystra; and lo! a certain disciple, was there, by name Timothy, son of a believing Jewish woman, but whose father was a Greek, —
Polo wutula ku Delibe ayi ku Lisitele. Kuna kuba nlonguki wumosi, dizina diandi Timote; ngudi andi wuba Nyuda wutambula phulusu vayi dise diandi diba muisi Ngelese.
2 who was well-attested by the brethren in Lystra, and Iconium.
Bakhomba baba ku Lisitele ayi ku Ikoniumi zitelimina Timote kimbangi kimboti.
3 The same, would Paul have go forth with him, and took and circumcised him, on account of the Jews who were in those places; for they one and all knew that, his father, was, a Greek.
Polo wuzola ti Timote kenda yandi. Bu kambonga, buna wunzengisa nitu yi kibakala mu diambu di Bayuda bobo baba mu bibuangu bina bila batu boso bazaba ti dise diandi wuba muisi Ngelese.
4 And, as they passed through the cities, they were delivering unto them, for observance, the decrees which had been decided upon by the Apostles and Elders who were in Jerusalem.
Mu mavula moso baviokila, basamuna mambu mazenga bamvuala ayi bakulutu ba Yeluzalemi ayi baba lomba batumimina mambu beni.
5 The assemblies, therefore, were being confirmed in the faith, and increasing in number, every day.
Mabundu maba makinda mu minu ayi ntalu yi batu yibuelama lumbu ka lumbu.
6 And they passed through the Phrygian and Galatian country, being forbidden by the Holy Spirit to speak the word in Asia;
Bosi basabuka Filingi ayi tsi yi Ngalatiya bila Pheve Yinlongo wuba kandika babika longa mambu ma Nzambi ku Azi.
7 but, coming along Mysia, they were attempting to journey into Bithynia, —and, the Spirit of Jesus, suffered them not;
Bu batula ku ndilu yi tsi yi Misi, bazola kuenda ku Bitini vayi Pheve yi Yesu yisia kuba vana minsua ko.
8 but, passing by Mysia, they came down unto Troas.
Vayi bu baviokila ku Misi, bayenda ku Tolowasi.
9 And, a vision, by night, unto Paul appeared: —A man of Macedonia, there was, standing and beseeching him, and saying—Come over into Macedonia, and bring us succour!
Va builu, Polo wumona tsongolo. Wumona muisi Maseduani wuntelimina va ntuala ayi wunleba: —A Tata, lemvuka! Yiza ku Maseduani mu kutusadisa!
10 Now, when, the vision, he had seen, straightway, we sought to go forth unto Macedonia, concluding that God, had summoned us to tell the glad tidings unto them.
Tsongolo yoyi bu yivioka, tutomba nzila mu kuenda ku Maseduani bila tumona ti niandi veka Nzambi wututela mu kuenda longi kuna Nsamu wumboti.
11 Setting sail, therefore, from Troas, we ran straight into Samothracia, and, on the morrow, unto New City,
Tukota mu masuwa ku Tolowasi bosi tuyenda ku sanga ki Samotalasi. Mu lumbu kilanda, tutula ku Neyapolisi.
12 and, from thence, unto Philippi, —which, indeed, is the first city of the part of Macedonia—a colony. And we were, in this city, spending certain days;
Bosi tuyenda ku Filipi, divula dimosi dinneni di Maseduani diba mu mioko mi luyalu lu basi Loma. Bilumbu biwombo tukadila kuna.
13 and on the day of rest, we went forth outside the gate, beside a river, where we supposed there was a place of prayer, —and, sitting down, we went on to speak unto the women who had come together.
Mu lumbu ki saba, bu tutotuka ku divula, tuyenda ku muenda nlangu wuba ku difula di buala bila kuawu tubanzila kuidi buangu ki lusambulu. Tuvuanda ayi tusolula ayi baketo bobo bayiza kutakana.
14 And, a certain woman, by name Lydia, a seller of purple, of the city of Thyatira, devout towards God, was hearkening, whose heart, the Lord, fully opened, to be giving heed unto the things being spoken by Paul.
Nketo wumosi, mu bobo baba nwa, dizina diandi Lidi, wuba muisi Tiatile; minledi mimbuaki kaba nsumbisanga. Wuba kinzikanga Nzambi. Pfumu wuzibula ntimꞌandi muingi kawa bumboti mambu ma Nzambi malonga Polo.
15 And, when she was immersed, and her house, she besought [us], saying—If ye have judged me to be a believer in the Lord, come into my house, and abide [there]. And she constrained us.
Bu kabotama va kimosi ayi nzoꞌandi, wutuleba bu katukamba: —Enati lumueni ti ndidi wukuikama mu Pfumu buna luiza lukota ku nzoꞌama ayi luvuanda kuna. Buna wutuleba ngolo.
16 And it came to pass, as we were on our way unto the place of prayer, a certain damsel, having a spirit of Python, met us, —who, indeed, much gain, was presenting unto her masters, by divining.
Lumbu kimosi bu tuba kuenda ku sambila. Tudengana mvika wumosi wu nketo wuba ayi pheve yimbimbi, yoyi kaba bikudilangamambu. Zimbikudulu ziandi zivana bapfumu bandi zimbongo ziwombo.
17 The same, following after Paul and us, kept crying aloud, saying—These men, are servants of the Most High God, —who, indeed, are declaring unto you a way of salvation.
Mvika beni wu nketo, wutulandakana ayi wuyamikina: —“Tala; batu baba badi bisadi bi Nzambi yi zangama, bawu balembo lulongi nzila yi phulusu.”
18 And, this, she continued to do for many days. But Paul, worn out, and turning unto the spirit, said—I charge thee, in the name of Jesus Christ, to come out from her. And it came out the same hour.
Bilumbu biwombo kavangila buawu. Polo wumona kiadi mu tezo kiviokakana, wutala ku mbusa bosi wukamba pheve yimbimbi: —Mu dizina di Yesu Klisto, ndikutuma totuka mu ndumba yayi! Pheve yimbimbi yitotuka muna thangu yina.
19 And, her masters, seeing that their hope of gain had gone out, laying hold on Paul and Silas, dragged them into the market-place, unto the rulers;
Bapfumu zi mvika beni wu nketo bu zimona ti diana di buela bakila zimbongo dimana, buna zikanga Polo ayi Sila, babakoka va buangu ki batu bawombo ayi va ntuala mazuzi.
20 and, leading them forward unto the magistrates, said—These men, are exceedingly troubling our city, they, being Jews,
Baba funda kuidi bapfumu zi ntiliminadu ayi batuba: —Batu baba badi Bayuda, balembo tudi divunzi mu divula dieto.
21 And are declaring customs, which it is not allowable for us either to accept or to observe, being Romans.
Balembo longi khadulu yoyi beto basi Loma tulendi kikinina ko ayi tulendi sadila ko.
22 And the multitude rose up together against them, and, the magistrates, rending off them their mantles, were giving orders to beat them with rods;
Nkangu wu batu wufuemina Polo ayi Sila. Buna bapfumuzi ntiliminadu zituma babavula minledi ayi bababeta bikoti.
23 and, laying upon them many stripes, they thrust them into prison, charging the prison-keeper, safely, to be keeping them:
Bu babetolo ngolo, bosi baba kotisa mu nloko ayi bavana lutumunu kuidi nsungi wu nloko kaba sunga bumboti.
24 who, a charge like this receiving, thrust them into the inner prison, and, their feet, made he fast in the stocks.
Nsungi bu katambula lutumunu lolo, buna wuba tula mu vinga ki khati kidi muna khati nloko. Bosi wukangikisa malu mawu mu bitini bi makunzi ma mabaya.
25 And, at midnight, Paul and Silas, being at prayer, began singing praise unto God; and the prisoners unto them, did hearken.
Nduka-nduka midi miphipa, Polo ayi Sila basambila ayi bayimbidila Nzambi, bobo bankaka baba mu nloko ba bawa.
26 And, suddenly, a great earthquake took place, —so that the foundations of the prison were shaken, and all the doors were [instantly] set open, and the bonds of all were unfastened.
Buela zimbukila ntoto weka nikuka ngolo nate zifondasio zi nloko zinikuka, mielo mioso mi nloko mimana zibuka; zisieni zioso zi batu baba mu nloko zitabuka.
27 And, the prison-keeper, being wakened and seeing that the doors of the prison had been opened, drawing his sword, was about to kill himself, supposing the prisoners to have fled.
Nsungi wu nloko wukotuka ayi bu kamona ti mielo mioso mimana zibuka; wutotula sabala kiandi ayi wuzola kukivonda bila kabanzilati batu ba nloko batina.
28 But Paul called out with a loud voice, saying—By no means, do thyself harm, for we are, one and all, here.
Vayi Polo wuyamikina mu mbembo yingolo: —Bika kukivanga mbimbi, bila beto boso tuidi vava!
29 And, asking for a light, he sprang in, and becoming, agitated, fell down unto Paul and Silas,
Nsungi wu nloko wulomba muinda, wukota muna khati nloko, wufukama va ntuala Polo ayi Sila mu lukhuku.
30 and, leading them forth outside, said—Sirs! what must I be doing, that I may be saved?
Wuba totula ku nganda ayi wuba yuvula: —A bamueni, mbi phanga muingi ndivuka e?
31 And, they, said—Believe on the Lord Jesus, and thou shalt be saved, thou, and thy house.
Bamvutudila: —Wilukila Pfumu Yesu, buna mawu vuka ngeyo ayi nzo aku!
32 And they spake unto him the word of God, with all who were in his house.
Banlonga mambu ma Pfumu ayi batu boso baba mu nzoꞌandi.
33 And, taking them with him, in that hour of the night, he bathed them from their stripes, and was immersed, he, and his, one and all, on the spot;
Muna builu, muna thangu beni, nsungi wu nloko wusukula ziphuta ziawu. Niandi wubotama va kimosi ayi nzo andi yoso.
34 and, leading them up into his house, he set near a table, —and exulted, having, with all his house, believed in God.
Wunata Polo ayi Sila ku nzoꞌandi, wuba vana bidia. Nzo andi yoso yimonakhini mu diambu bawilukila Nzambi.
35 And. when day came. the magistrates sent off the constables saying—Let those men go!
Va nsuka, bapfumu zituma batu muingi bakamba nsungi wu nloko: —Yekula batu beni!
36 And the prison-keeper reported the words unto Paul—The magistrates have sent, that ye be let go. Now, therefore, going forth, be taking your journey in peace.
Bosi nsungi wu nloko wukamba buawu kuidi Polo ti: —Bapfumu zitumini batu muingi ndiluyekula. Totukeno ayi yendanomu ndembama!
37 But, Paul, said unto them—Beating us, in public, uncondemned, men that are Romans, they thrust us into prison; —and, now, by stealth, are they thrusting us forth? Nay, verily! but let them come, themselves, and lead us out!
Vayi Polo wuvutula: —Nana, beto tuidi basi Loma; basi kutusambisa ko; batubetisidi bikotiva meso ma batu; batukotisidi mu nloko. Vayi buabu batidi ku tuyekula mu kinsueki e! Nana! Biza tutotula bawu veka!
38 And the constables reported unto the magistrates these words; and they were struck with fear, when they heard that they were, Romans;
Batu bana bayenda kamba nsamu beni kuidi bapfumu. Bosi bapfumu zimonaboma bu ziwa ti Polo ayi Sila badi basi Loma.
39 and came, and besought them, and, leading them out, went on to request them to depart from the city.
Bayenda kuna nloko, baleba Polo ayi Sila; babatotula ayi babalombababotuka mu divula dina.
40 And so, coming forth from the prison, they went unto Lydia, and, seeing the brethren, they comforted them, and went forth.
Polo ayi Sila bu batotuka mu nloko, bayenda ku nzo Lidi. Kunabamona bakhomba ayi babakindisa. Bosi bayenda kuawu.
