i try use this
$select = $sql->select();
$select->from('mensaje');
$select->where('idUsuario = '.$idUser.' order by fechaAltaMensaje DESC');
$select->limit(5);
but don't work
You are missing some details in your code in order for it to work,
please see below.
$adapter = $this->tableGateway->getAdapter();//use Zend\Db\TableGateway\TableGateway;
$sql = new Sql($adapter);//use Zend\Db\Sql\Sql;
$select = $sql->select();
$select->from('mensaje');
$select->where('idUsuario = '.$idUser.'');
$select->order('fechaAltaMensaje DESC');
$select->limit(5);
$selectString = $sql->getSqlStringForSqlObject($select);//print_r($selectString);die; //gives you the query in string
$results = $adapter->query($selectString, $adapter::QUERY_MODE_EXECUTE);
$resultSet = new ResultSet();//use Zend\Db\ResultSet\ResultSet;
$resultSet->initialize($results);
return $resultSet->toArray();//the result to array
Please read the tutorials below and you will get the full picture

The limit function only applies to platforms that support it. To achieve what you're after in SQL you need to use the quantifier function.
Also - where accepts an array of column => value pairs.
And there is an order function that accepts a column name and direction:
$select = $sql->select();
$select->from('mensaje')
->where(['idUsuario' => $idUser])
->order('fechaAltaMensaje DESC')
->quantifier('TOP(5)')
I am not pleased with Zends implementation of the sql abstraction layer, when you need to use two different functions to write SQL that is not cross platform to do simple things like limit or top. That's just my two pence.
