3 Mu kilokula kivua ki kilumbu, mu kimona mesu nandi wumona mbasi yi Nzambi kufikama kuidi nandi ayi wuntela: “Koloneliu!”
4 Mu kutitubuka, Koloneliu wusikika thalu kuidi nandi ayi wunyuvula: “A Mfumu, mbi?” Nandi wunkamba: “Nzambi bekuwa minsambu miaku ayi betebukila moyo lusalusu wumvananga kuidi biphumbulu.
5 Diawu mu thangu ayiyi, fila babakala ku divula di Jope, muingi belanda Simoni, dibakala bantedilanga mvandi Petelo.
6 Nandi widi ku nzo yi Simoni no wumvanganga bisalu bi minkanda mi bibulu, ayi nzo beni yidi mu ndeku ḿbu.”
7 Bo mbasi yaba koluka yandi yiyenda, nandi wutumisa bisadi biandi biodi ayi disodi dimueka waba kukivananga beni mu minsambu, wuba va khati masodi baba kumbuelanga mioko.
8 Bosi wuba zabikisa mambu moso ayi wuba fila ku Jope.
9 Mu kilumbu kilanda, bo bafikama ku divula beni, Petelo wumaka ku kibanga muingi kusambila mu kilokula kinsambanu.
10 Vayi nandi waba mona beni nzala ayi waba tomba kudia. Bo baba lamba bidia, nandi wutona kumona kimona mesu;
11 wumona diyilu kuzibuka ayi wumona kiuma kiba buka dilensola dinneni diaba kulumuka va ntoto ayi diba dikangama mu zikhonzu zinna.
12 Ayi muawu muba mintindu mioso mi bibulu bi malu manna, bibulu binkokumukanga va ntoto ayi zinuni zidumukanga ku diyilu.
13 Bosi vayuwakana mbembu yinkamba: “Petelo, telema vonda ayi dia!”
14 Vayi Petelo wumvutudila: “Yilendi vanga ko mawu a Mfumu, kibila yidianga ko ni kiuma kimueka ki mvimdu ayi kio bakandimina* mu minsiku.”
15 Ayi mbembu beni, yibue kunkamba mu khumbu yimmuadi: “Bika kutedila biuma Nzambi kadiodisa*, biuma bi mvindu.”
16 Mbembu beni, yivutuka kubue kuwakana mu khumbu yintatu, ayi mu thinu dilensola beni divutuka ku diyilu.
17 Petelo wuba mu divuda ayi waba kuyikuvusa mbi kimona mesu kamona kiaba sundula. Vayi mu thangu beni babakala Koloneliu kafila, bayuvula vama mbi vadi nzo yi Simoni ayi batelama va muelu.
18 Bawu batela mutu vuidi nzo ayi bayuvula boti Simoni, baba tedilanga mvandi Petelo wuba ku nzo beni.
19 Mu thangu Petelo kaba yindula mambu kamona mu kimona mesu, buawu phevi yinlongo yinkambila: “Yuwa! Babakala batatu badi mu kukutomba.
20 Diawu telama kuluka ayi yenda yawu, bika kuba divuda* kibila minu veka yibe bafila.”
21 Mu phila ayoyo, Petelo wukuluka ayi wuye bata babakala beni ayi wuba kamba: “Minu kawu, minu muidi mu kutomba. Kibila mbi mu bekuizila?”
22 Bawu bankamba: “Koloneliu nkulutu masodi, mutu wusonga ayi wunkinzikanga Nzambi, no baboso mu dikabu di basi Yuda bantubilanga buboti, betambula zithuadusulu mu nzila mbasi muingi tuiza kutela ayi wenda ku nzo’andi ayi kayuwa mambu madi yaku muingi wunzabikisa.”
23 Mu phila ayoyo, Petelo wuba tumisa bakota ayi wuba vana vama bafueti lala.
Mu kilumbu kilanda, nandi wuyenda yawu ayi zikhomba zinkaka ku Jope banlandakana.
24 Mu kilumbu kinkaka, bawu bakota ku divula di Sezaleia. Koloneliu waba kuba telimina, nandi wukutikisa dikanda diandi ayi bakundi bandi bafikama.
25 Bo Petelo kakota, Koloneliu wuyenda kue ndekana, wufukama va malu mandi ayi wunzitisa*.
26 Vayi Petelo wuntelimisa ayi wunkamba: “Telama! Minu mvama yidi kuama mutu.”
27 Bo kaba koluka yandi, nandi wukota ayi wuye bata batu bawombo bakutakana.
28 Nandi wuba kamba: “Benu muzebi buboti ti musi Yuda kasi ko nsua wu kuba nkangulu voti kuba kikundi na mutu wu mvila wunkaka. Vayi Nzambi bembonisa ti yilendi tedila ko ni mutu, banga mutu wusumuka voti wumvindu.
29 Diawu bo mube thumisa, minu yibe kuiza mu khambu ba divuda. Buabu khambanu, kibila mbi mube thumisina.”
30 Koloneliu wumvutudila: “Bilumbu binna bima vioka, minu yaba sambila ku nzo’ama mu kilokula buka akiki, kilokula kivua ayi yisusukidi va ntual’ama dibakala dibedi bikhutu biaba lezama;
31 nandi wukhembi: ‘Koloneliu Nzambi bekuwa nsambu’aku ayi betebukila moyo lusalusu wumvananga kuidi biphumbulu.
32 Fila mutu ku Jope muingi kuetela Simoni no widi wuzabakana mu dizina di Petelo. Nandi widi ku nzo yi Simoni, mutu wumvanganga kisalu ki minkanda mi bibulu ayi nzo beni yidi mu ndeku ḿbu.’
33 Diawu yi kutumisini mu thinu, ayi ngie bemonisa mamboti mu kukuiza akuku. Buabu, befu boso tuidi va ntuala Nzambi muingi kukuwa mambu moso Yave kabe kutuma muingi ku tukamba.”
34 Mu kibila akiokio, Petelo wutona kukoluka mu kutuba: “Buabu yima visa buboti ti, Nzambi kasi ko luvasanu,
35 vayi mu zitsi zioso, nandi wunkikininanga woso mutu wu kuntumukina* ayi wumvanga mambu masulama.
36 Nandi wufila diambu diandi kuidi bana ba Isaeli mu kuba zabikisa zitsangu zimona zi ndembama mu nzila Yesu Klistu—nandi widi Mfumu yi baboso.
37 Benu muzebi matedi mambu mbi baba tubilanga ku divula dioso di Yuda, kutonina ku Ngalili bo Yoane kamana kusamuna matedi kubotama:
38 matedi Yesu no wuba musi Nazaleti, matedi buidi Nzambi kansodila mu phevi yinlongo ayi mangolo. Ayi nandi wudiata kizunga kioso mu kuvanga mamboti ayi kubelusa batu boso baba tovuka kuidi Nkadi’ampemba, kibila Nzambi wuba na Yesu.
39 Ayi befu tuidi zimbangi mu mambu moso amomo nandi kavanga, kuba kuandi ku divula di Yuda ayi mvandi ku Yelusalemi. Vayi bawu bamvonda mu kumbanda va dikunzi.
40 Nzambi wumvulubusa mu kilumbu kintatu ayi wuvana luaku kuidi batu muingi ba buemmona,
41 kubika kuandi kuidi batu boso, vayi theti kuidi batu Nzambi kasola muingi kuta kimbangi mu mawu, bosi kuidi befu tudia yandi ayi tunua yandi bo kavulubuka mu bafua.
42 Mvandi, nandi wuvana nsua muingi tusamuna kuidi dikabu ayi kuvana kimbangi kiduka, ti nandi Nzambi kabieka muingi kaba mfundisi wu batu bamonyo ayi bafua.
43 Matedi nandi mimbikudi mioso bamvanina kimbangi ti, woso mutu wu kunlekila kiminu*, wala tambula nlemvu wu masumu mu dizina diandi.”
44 Bo Petelo kaba tubila mambu amomo, muna thangu beni, phevi yinlongo yikulumuka kuidi baboso baba kuwa diambu di Nzambi.
45 Ayi zikhomba bayenda na Petelo baba zinyitu zi kibakala zizengu bayituka; kibila phevi yinlongo yikulumuka mvandi kuidi batu ba nza*.
46 Kibila bawu bayuwa batu beni kukolukila mu zimbembu zinkaka ayi kuzitisa Nzambi. Mu kibila akiokio, Petelo wutuba:
47 “Batu ababa, bama tambula phevi yinlongo buka befu; bukiedika ti vadi mutu kalenda batula nkaku muingi bawu babika botama mu nlangu?”
48 Diawu, nandi wudinda muingi baba botika mu dizina di Yesu Klistu. Ayi bawu bandinda muingi kakala yawu mu mua bilumbu.
