2 Tsono Petro atafika ku Yerusalemu, abale amene anali a mdulidwe anamutsutsa iye,
Shipindi Peteru pakawuyiti Yerusalemu, walii wawayingiriti jandu, walikakatala na yomberi,
3 ndipo anati, “Iwe unalowa mʼnyumba ya anthu osachita mdulidwe ndi kudya nawo.”
“Gwenga gugenda kulikala na wantu wangali kwingiziwa jandu na ata guliya pamuhera nawomberi!
4 Koma Petro anayamba kuwafotokozera zonse mwatsatanetsatane momwe zinachitikira kuti,
Panu Peteru kawagambira shinaga ubaga kuusu galii gagatendikiti tangu kwanjira.”
5 “Ine ndimapemphera mu mzinda wa Yopa ndipo ndili ngati wokomoka ndinaona masomphenya. Ndinaona chinthu chokhala ngati chinsalu chachikulu chikutsika kuchokera kumwamba chogwiridwa msonga zake zinayi, ndipo chinatsikira pa ine.
“Lishaka limu nweriti nankuluwa Mlungu mlushi Lwa Yopa, moniti mawonu, moniti shintu gambira lishuka likulu lyankusuluka pasi kulawa kumpindi liweriti likolwa pembi zyakuwi msheshi, litulwa pambwega pangu.
6 Ine ndinayangʼana mʼkati mwake ndipo ndinaona nyama za miyendo inayi za mʼdziko lapansi, zirombo, zokwawa, ndi mbalame zamlengalenga.
Nzunguliriti mngati nweri mona vigongolu wana magulu msheshi, wavigongolu wa mushitogolu, wag'ongolu wawakwawa na wambongu wa kuliyera.
7 Kenaka ine ndinamva mawu akuti, ‘Petro, Imirira. Ipha, nudye.’
Shakapanu mbikanira liziwu lyangung'ambira, ‘Peteru gwimuki, gulagi na guliyi!’
8 “Ine ndinayankha kuti, ‘Ayi, Ambuye! Pakuti chinthu chodetsedwa ndi chonyansa sindinadyepo pakamwa pangapa.’
Kumbiti neni pandakula, ‘ndala, Mtuwa! Mana shoseri shashiwera shihumba ama shidoda asheni yingiri mumlomu mwaneni.’
9 “Mawu ochokera kumwamba ananenanso kachiwiri kuti, ‘Chimene Mulungu wachiyeretsa usanene kuti ndi chodetsedwa.’
Liziwu lipikanika kayi kulawa kumpindi, ‘naguvishema vihumba vintu Mlungu vyakavipungiti.’
10 Zimenezi zinachitika katatu ndipo kenaka zonse zinatengedwa kupita kumwamba.
Shitwatira ashi shitendikiti mala ndatu, na upeleru wakuwi viwusiwa kugenda kumpindi.
11 “Nthawi yomweyo anthu atatu amene anatumidwa kuchokera ku Kaisareya anayima pa nyumba yomwe ndimakhalayo.
Katepu hera, wantu watatu wawaweriti wawalagalira kwaneni kulawa Kaisariya wayingiriti kunumba kwanweriti nankulikala, wankulikala.
12 Mzimu anandiwuza kuti ndisakayike, koma ndipite nawo. Abale asanu ndi mmodzi awa anapitanso nane ndipo tinalowa mʼnyumba ya munthuyo.
Rohu kang'ambiriti ng'endi pamuhera nawomberi pota kutira. Walongu sita awa walikoliti pamuhera naneni, twingira mnumba ya muntu ulii.
13 Iye anatiwuza mmene anaonera mngelo atayimirira mʼnyumba mwake ndi kumuwuza kuti, ‘Tumiza anthu ku Yopa kuti akayitane Simoni wotchedwa Petro.
Yomberi katugambiriti ntambu yakaweriti kamwona ntumintumi gwa kumpindi kagoloka ukaya kwakuwi na kumgambira, ‘Gumtumi muntu Yopa kakamshemi muntu yumu yawamshema Simoni Peteru.
14 Iye adzakuwuza uthenga umene udzapulumutsa iwe ndi a pa banja ako.’
Yomberi hakakugambiri ujumbi weni haukulopoziyi gwenga na kaya yaku yoseri.’
15 “Nditangoyamba kuyankhula, Mzimu Woyera anafika pa iwo monga momwe anafikira pa ife poyamba paja.
Na pakanyanjiti kuyowera hera, Rohu Mnanagala kawasulukiriti gambira ntambu yakatusulukiriti twenga palii pakwanjira.
16 Kenaka ndinakumbukira zimene Ambuye ananena kuti, ‘Yohane anabatiza ndi madzi, koma inu mudzabatizidwa ndi Mzimu Woyera.’
Panu nuliholiti visoweru vilii Mtuwa ntambu yakatakuriti, ‘Yohani kabatiziti kwa mashi, kumbiti mwenga hamubatizwi kwa Rohu Mnanagala.’
17 Tsono ngati Mulungu anawapatsa iwo mphatso yomweyo imene anatipatsa ife, amene tinakhulupirira Ambuye Yesu Khristu, ndine yani kuti nditsutsane ndi Mulungu?”
Su, handa Mlungu kawapanana viraa wantu wa maisi gamonga shirupa shirashilii shakatupiti twenga patumjimiriti Mtuwa Yesu Kristu, hashi, neni ndo gaa ata panjera kumubera Mlungu!”
18 Iwo atamva zimenezi analibenso chonena ndipo anayamika Mulungu nati, “Potero Mulungu wapatsa anthu a mitundu ina mwayi wotembenuka mtima ndi kulandira moyo.”
Pawapikaniriti aga, walekiti likakatala, wamkwisa Mlungu pawalonga, “Mlungu kawapanana wantu yawawera ndiri Wayawudi lupenyu lwa kuleka vidoda wapati ukomu!”
19 Tsopano amene anabalalika chifukwa cha mazunzo amene anayamba ataphedwa Stefano, anapita mpaka ku Foinike, ku Kupro ndi ku Antiokeya, ndipo ankalalikira kwa Ayuda okha.
Kulawilirana na ndabiku yairawiliti shipindi Stefanu pawamlagiti, wawumini wapalasiwitwi. Wamonga wagenditi mpaka Foiniki, Kupiru na Antiokiya pawabwera ujumbi ulii kwa Wayawudi hera.
20 Komabe, ena pakati pawo ochokera ku Kupro ndi ku Kurene anapita ku Antiokeya ndipo iwo anayamba kuyankhulanso kwa Agriki, nawawuza za Uthenga Wabwino wa Ambuye Yesu.
Kumbiti wamonga wa wantu yawamjimiriti Yesu yawalawiti Kupiru na Kureni, wagenditi Antiokiya pawawubwera ujumbi kwa wantu yawawera ndiri Wayawudi, pawashibwera Shisoweru Shiwagira kuusu Mtuwa Yesu.
21 Mphamvu ya Ambuye inali nawo ndipo anthu ambiri anakhulupirira natembenukira kwa Ambuye.
Mtuwa kawatangiti na wantu wavuwa wajimiriti na kumgalambukira Mtuwa.
22 Mbiri imeneyi inamveka ku mpingo wa ku Yerusalemu ndipo iwo anatumiza Barnaba ku Antiokeya.
Shisoweru sha shitwatira ashi shipikanirika kwa shipinga sha wantu yawamjimira Yesu aku Yerusalemu. Hangu wamtuma Barinaba kagendi Antiokiya.
23 Atafika ndi kuona chisomo cha Mulungu pa iwo, anakondwa ndi kuwalimbikitsa anthu onsewo kuti apitirire kukhala woona mu mtima mwa Ambuye.
Pakasokiti aku na kuwona Mlungu ntambu yakawatekeleriti wantu, kanemeleriti na kawahimiziya woseri walikali muwuwaminika wawu kwa Mtuwa kwa Moyu gwawu goseri.
24 Barnabayo anali munthu wabwino, wodzazidwa ndi Mzimu Woyera ndi chikhulupiriro ndipo gulu lalikulu la anthu linabwera kwa Ambuye.
Barinaba kaweriti muntu muheri na kamemiti Rohu Mnanagala na njimiru, likundi likulu lya wantu likwegitwi kwa Mtuwa.
25 Kenaka Barnaba anapita ku Tarisisi kukafuna Saulo,
Shakapanu, Barinaba kagenditi Tarisu kumsakula Sauli.
26 ndipo pamene anamupeza anabwera naye ku Antiokeya. Barnaba ndi Saulo anasonkhana ndi mpingo kwa chaka chimodzi naphunzitsa anthu ambirimbiri. Okhulupirirawo anayamba kutchedwa Akhristu ku Antiokeya.
Pakamwoniti, kamjega Antiokiya. Nawomberi woseri wawili walikala mushipinga sha wantu yawamjimira Yesu kwa shinja shoseri pawafunda shipinga shikulu sha wantu. Antiokiya aku, ndo kwa mala ya kwanja, wafundwa washemitwi wantu yawamjimira Kristu.
27 Masiku amenewo ku Antiokeya kunafika aneneri ena ochokera ku Yerusalemu.
Shipindi shiraa shirii, wambuyi wa Mlungu wiziti Antiokiya kulawa Yerusalemu.
28 Mmodzi wa iwo dzina lake Agabu, anayimirira ndipo Mzimu anamutsogolera kunenera zamʼtsogolo kuti padzakhala njala yayikulu pa dziko lonse lapansi. (Izi zinachitikadi nthawi ya ulamuliro wa Klaudiyo).
Yumu gwawu wamshema Agabu kagolokiti, na kwa makakala ga Rohu katungiti handa hakuweri na njala ngulu muisi yoseri. Njala ayi ilawiriti shipindi sha ukola mlima wa Klawudi.
29 Ophunzirawo, aliyense monga mwakupata kwake, anatsimikiza kuthandiza abale okhala ku Yudeya.
Wafundwa walii waamuwiti kila yumu kwa ntambu ya uwezu wakuwi kajegi shoseri su kuwatangitira walongu walii wawaweriti wankulikala Yudeya.
30 Izi anazichitadi ndipo anatuma Barnaba ndi Saulo kukapereka mphatsozo kwa akulu a mpingo.
Watenda hangu, shakapanu, na kuwapanana mpiya wazewi wa Ludewa lwa Barinaba na Sauli.
