Acts 17
1 As they made their iorney thorow Amphipolis and Appolonia they came to Thessalonica where was a synagoge of the Iewes.
Sima na Polo mpe Silasi kolekela na Afipolisi mpe na Apolonia, bakendeki na Tesalonika epai wapi ndako ya mayangani ya Bayuda ezalaki.
2 And Paul as his maner was went in vnto them and thre saboth doyes declared oute of the scripture vnto them
Ndenge momesano na ye ezalaki, Polo akotaki na ndako ya mayangani. Basaba misato, asololaki na bato oyo bazalaki kuna na tina na Makomi.
3 openynge and allegynge that Christ must nedes have suffred and rysen agayne from deeth and that this Iesus was Christ whom (sayde he) I preache to you.
Azalaki kotalisa mpe kolakisa bango polele ete Klisto asengelaki komona pasi mpe kosekwa kati na bakufi. Azalaki koloba na bango: — Yesu oyo nazali koteya bino, Ye nde azali Klisto.
4 And some of them beleved and came and companyed with Paul and Sylas: also of the honourable Grekes a greate multitude and of the chefe wemen not a feawe.
Ndambo ya Bayuda bandimisamaki mpe basanganaki na Polo mpe Silasi; ndenge moko mpe na bato mingi ya Grese, oyo bazalaki kogumbamela Nzambe, mpe basi ebele ya lokumu.
5 But the Iewes which beleved not havynge indignacio toke vnto the evyll men which were vagabondes and gadered a company and set all the cite on a roore and made asaute vnto the housse of Iason and sought to bringe the out to the people.
Kasi Bayuda mosusu basalaki zuwa; bakendeki kozwa bato ya mobulu oyo batambolaka pamba-pamba na balabala, basangisaki bango mpe babimisaki mobulu kati na engumba. Bakendeki mbangu na ndako ya Jazoni mpo na koluka Polo mpe Silasi mpo ete bamema bango liboso ya ebele ya bato.
6 But when they founde them not they drue Iason and certayne brethren vnto the heedes of the cite cryinge: these that trouble the worlde are come hydder also
Kasi lokola bamonaki bango te, bamemaki Jazoni mpe bandeko mosusu liboso ya bakambi ya engumba na koganga: — Bato oyo bazali koningisa mokili mobimba bakomi sik’oyo awa,
7 which Iason hath receaved prevely. And these all do contrary to the elders of Cesar affirmynge another kynge one Iesus.
mpe Jazoni ayambi bango lokola babengami kati na ndako na ye. Bango nyonso bazali kobuka mibeko ya Sezare, pamba te bazali koloba: « Mokonzi mosusu azali, Kombo na Ye: Yesu! »
8 And they troubled the people and the officers of the cite when they hearde these thinges.
Tango ebele ya bato mpe bakambi ya engumba bayokaki bongo, batombokaki makasi.
9 And when they were sufficiently answered of Iason and of the other they let the goo.
Boye, bafutisaki Jazoni mpe bandeko mosusu lomande mpe, na sima, batikaki bango.
10 And the brethren immediatly sent awaye Paul and Sylas by nyght vnto Berrea. Which when they were come thyther they entred into ye synagoge of the Iewes.
Wana butu ekomaki, bandeko bakimisaki Polo mpe Silasi noki-noki na Bere. Tango bakomaki kuna, bakotaki na ndako ya mayangani ya Bayuda.
11 These were the noblest of byrthe amonge the of Thessalonia which receaved the worde wt all diligence of mynde and searched ye scriptures dayly whether those thinges were even so.
Nzokande, Bayuda ya Bere bazalaki bato ya boboto koleka bato ya Tesalonika, pamba te bayambaki Liloba na motema mobimba mpe, mokolo na mokolo, bazalaki koyekola na mozindo Makomi mpo na kotala soki makambo oyo Polo azali koteya bango ezali ya solo.
12 And many of the beleved: also of worshipfull weme which were Grekes and of men not a feawe.
Bayuda ebele kati na bango bandimaki; ndenge moko mpe, kati na bato ya Grese, basi mingi ya lokumu mpe mibali ebele bandimaki.
13 When the Iewes of Thessalonia had knowledge that ye worde of God was preached of Paul at Berrea they came there and moved the people.
Kasi tango Bayuda ya Tesalonika bayokaki ete Polo azali koteya Liloba na Nzambe na Bere, mingi kati na bango bayaki mpe kuna mpo na kotia songisongi kati na bato mpo ete batomboka.
14 And then by and by ye brethre sent awaye Paul to goo as it were to ye see: but Sylas and Timotheus abode there still.
Bongo, kaka na tango yango, bandeko basalaki ete Polo akende na ebale mpo na kozwa masuwa, wana Silasi mpe Timote batikalaki na Bere.
15 And they that gyded Paul brought him vnto Attens and receaved a comaundment vnto Sylas and Timotheus for to come to him at once and came their waye.
Bato oyo bakendeki kotika Polo bamemaki ye kino na Ateni; mpe na mitindo ya Polo, bazongaki na Bere koyebisa Silasi mpe Timote ete balanda ye noki na Ateni.
16 Whyll Paul wayted for them at Attens his sprete was moved in him to se the cite geven to worshippinge of ymages.
Wana Polo azali kozela bango kati na Ateni, motema na ye etungisamaki mingi na komona ete engumba yango etonda na banzambe ya bikeko.
17 Then he disputed in the synagoge wt the Iewes and with the devout persones and in the market dayly with the that came vnto him.
Boye, azalaki kosolola na Bayuda mpe Bagreki oyo bazalaki kogumbamela Nzambe kati na ndako ya mayangani, mpe na bato oyo azalaki kokuta, mokolo na mokolo, na bisika oyo bato ebele bakutanaka.
18 Certayne philosophers of ye Epicures and of ye stoyckes disputed with him. And some ther were which sayde: what will this babler saye. Other sayd: he semeth to be a tydynges bringer of newe devyls because he preached vnto them Iesus and the resurreccion.
Ndambo ya bato ya mayele oyo balandaka malakisi ya Epikire mpe ya Zenon bakomaki kotiana tembe na ye. Bamoko batunaki: — Moto oyo ya makelele alingi koloba nini? Bamosusu balobaki: — Tomoni lokola nde azali kolobela banzambe ya bapaya! Balobaki bongo mpo ete Polo azalaki koteya Sango Malamu na tina na Yesu mpe lisekwa kati na bakufi.
19 And they toke him and brought him into Marsestrete sayinge: maye we not knowe what this newe doctrine wher of thou speakest is?
Boye bakamataki ye, bamemaki ye na Areopaje mpe balobaki na ye: — Boni, tokoki koyeba soki mateya ya sika oyo ozali koteya elingi koloba nini?
20 For thou bringest straunge tydynges to oure eares. We wolde knowe therfore what these thinges meane.
Pamba te ozali koloba na biso makambo ya sika. Yango wana, tolingi koyeba soki makambo yango elakisi penza nini.
21 For all the Attenians and straungers which were there gave the selves to nothinge els but ether to tell or to heare newe tydynges.
(Bato nyonso ya Ateni mpe bapaya oyo bazalaki kovanda kuna bazalaki kolekisa tango mingi mpo na koloba mpe koyoka basango ya sika).
22 Paul stode in the myddes of Marse strete and sayde: ye men of Attens I perceave that in all thinges ye are to supersticious.
Polo atelemaki liboso ya bato oyo basanganaki na Areopaje mpe alobaki: — Bato ya Ateni! Nasosoli ete, na makambo nyonso, bolingaka mingi makambo ya bonzambe.
23 For as I passed by and behelde the maner how ye worship youre goddes I founde an aultre wher in was written: vnto ye vnknowen god. Whom ye then ignoratly worship him shewe I vnto you.
Pamba te tango nazalaki kotambola kati na engumba na bino mpe kotala bikeko oyo bosambelaka, namonaki kutu etumbelo moko bakoma na likolo na yango: Mpo na Nzambe oyo ayebani te. Nzokande, ngai nayei koteya bino Nzambe oyo bosambelaka ata boyebi Ye te.
24 God that made the worlde and all that are in it seynge that he is Lorde of heven and erth he dwelleth not in temples made with hondes
Nzambe oyo asala mokili mpe biloko nyonso oyo ezali kati na yango azali Nkolo ya Likolo mpe ya mokili, avandaka te kati na batempelo oyo maboko ya bato etonga.
25 nether is worshipped with mennes hondes as though he neded of eny thinge seinge he him selfe geveth lyfe and breeth to all men every where
Mpe azalaka na posa te ya masungi ya bato, pamba te akoka na nyonso. Nzokande, Ye nde apesaka bato nyonso bomoi, pema mpe biloko nyonso.
26 and hath made of one bloud all nacions of men for to dwell on all the face of the erthe and hath assigned before how longe tyme and also the endes of their inhabitacion
Wuta na moto moko, asalaki mabota nyonso ya bato, mpo ete bakoka kovanda na mokili mobimba; mpe akataki tango mpo na moto na moto mpe atiaki bandelo mpo na bisika na bango ya kovanda.
27 that they shuld seke God yf they myght fele and fynde him though he be not farre from every one of vs.
Nzambe asalaki bongo mpo ete bato bakoka koluka Ye, tango mosusu bakolonga komona Ye na kolukaluka lokola mokufi miso. Nzokande, na bosolo, azali mosika te ya moko na moko kati na biso.
28 For in him we lyve move and have oure beynge as certayne of youre awne Poetes sayde. For we are also his generacion.
Pamba te, ezali na nzela na Ye nde tozalaka na bomoi, toninganaka mpe tozalaka oyo tozali, ndenge bakomi na bino mosusu baloba: « Tozali bana na ye! »
29 For as moche then as we are the generacion of God we ought not to thynke that the godhed is lyke vnto golde silver or stone graven by crafte and ymaginacion of man.
Yango wana, lokola tozali bana na Nzambe, tosengeli te kokanisa ete bonzambe ekokani na elilingi ya wolo, ya palata to ya libanga, lokola nzambe ya ekeko oyo esalemi na maboko mpe mayele ya moto.
30 And the tyme of this ignoraunce God regarded not: but now he byddeth all men every where repent
Nzokande, lokola Nzambe atalaka te tango ya kozanga boyebi, kasi azali sik’oyo kosenga ete bato nyonso, na bisika nyonso oyo bazali, babongola mitema.
31 because he hath apoynted a daye in the which he will iudge the worlde acordynge to ryghtewesses by that man whom he hath apoynted and hath offered faith to all men after that he had raysed him from deeth.
Pamba te akata mokolo oyo akosambisa mokili mobimba na bosembo nyonso, na nzela ya moto oyo Ye asila kopona. Atalisaki bosolo na yango epai ya bato nyonso, na nzela ya kosekwisa moto yango kati na bakufi.
32 When they hearde of ye resurreccion from deeth some mocked and other sayde: we will heare the agayne of this matter.
Tango bayokaki Polo koloba na tina na lisekwa ya bakufi, bamoko basekaki ye, mpe bamosusu balobaki: — Tokoyoka yo mokolo mosusu na tina na likambo oyo.
33 So Paul departed from amonge them.
Na bongo, Polo atikaki bango.
34 Howbeit certayne men clave vnto Paul and beleved amonge the which was Dionysius a senatour and a woman named Damaris and other with them.
Nzokande, bato mosusu balandaki Polo mpe bakomaki bandimi. Kati na bango, ezalaki: Denisi, moto ya Areopaje; mwasi moko oyo kombo na ye ezali Damarisi, mpe bato mosusu.
