Masengo 11
1 Achinduna ni ŵandu ŵane ŵakunkulupilila Che Yesu ŵaŵatemi ku Yudea ŵapilikene kuti ŵandu ŵangaŵa Ŵayahudi nombe apochele Liloŵe lya Akunnungu.
And the apostles and the brothers who are in Judea heard that the nations also received the word of God,
2 Nipele, che Petulo paŵausile ku Yelusalemu, aŵala Ŵayahudi ŵaŵakulupilile Che Yesu ŵaŵaumbele, ŵaalalatile,
and when Peter came up to Jerusalem, those of circumcision were contending with him,
3 achitiji, “Mmwejo mwajawile kukutama ni ŵandu ŵangaumbala ni kulya nawo!”
saying, “You went in to uncircumcised men, and ate with them!”
4 Pelepo che Petulo ŵatandite kwagopolela yeleyo chimo chimo kuti.
And Peter having begun, set [it] forth to them in order, saying,
5 “Lyuŵa limo naliji nkupopela musi wa ku Yopa, pelepo naiweni yakwiwona, nachiweni chindu mpela shuka jajikulungwa jili jeŵambe mmalombo gakwe gancheche chilinkutuluswa kutyochela kwinani, ni kwika panaliji une.
“I was in the city of Joppa praying, and I saw in a trance a vision, a certain vessel coming down, as a great sheet by four corners being let down out of Heaven, and it came to me;
6 Nalingulile uchenene nkati, naiweni inyama ya kulangwa yana makongolo ncheche ni inyama ya mwikonde ni inyama yaikukwaŵa ni ijuni.
at which having looked steadfastly, I was considering, and I saw the four-footed beasts of the earth, and the wild beasts, and the creeping things, and the birds of the sky;
7 Nipele napilikene liloŵe lichisalilaga, ‘Che Petulo njime, nsikite ndye.’
and I heard a voice saying to me, Having risen, Peter, slay and eat;
8 Ni uneji najanjile, ‘Ngwamba, Ambuje, pakuŵa chindu chachili chose changaswejeswa atamuno chakusakala nganichijinjile ng'o pakang'wa pangu.’
and I said, Not so, Lord, because anything common or unclean has at no time entered into my mouth;
9 Nambo liloŵe lila lyapikaniche kaaŵili kutyochela kwinani lichitiji, ‘Yaiswejesye Akunnungu, alakwe nkaiŵilanga yakusakala.’
and a voice answered me a second time out of Heaven, What God cleansed, you do not declare common.
10 Chelechi chatendekwe katatu, ni mbesi jakwe indu yose yanyakulikwe sooni kwinani.
And this happened three times, and again was all drawn up to Heaven,
11 Pangakaŵa, ŵandu ŵatatu ŵaŵalajiswe kukwangu kutyochela ku Kaisalia ŵaiche pa nyuumba jinatamaga.
and behold, immediately, three men stood at the house in which I was, having been sent from Caesarea to me,
12 Mbumu Jwanswela ŵasalile longane nawo pangali lipamba. Ni ŵanyaŵa sita nalongene nawo ku Kaisalia ni kweleko twajinjile mu nyuumba ji che Konolio.
and the Spirit said to me to go with them, doubting nothing, and these six brothers also went with me, and we entered into the house of the man,
13 Che Konolio ŵatusalile iŵatite pakummona katumetume jwa kwinani juŵajimi mu nyuumba jakwe ni kunsalila, ‘Muntume mundu ku Yopa akammilanje mundu liina lyakwe che Simoni, pane akuŵilanjikwa che Petulo.
he also declared to us how he saw the messenger standing in his house, and saying to him, Send men to Joppa, and call for Simon, who is surnamed Peter,
14 Ŵelewo chaachinsalila maloŵe, ganti chigankulupusye mmwejo ni ŵandu ŵaali mu nyuumba jenu wose.’
who will speak sayings by which you will be saved, you and all your house.
15 Panatandite kuŵecheta, Mbumu jwa Akunnungu ŵaatuluchile mpela yatite pakututuluchila uweji kundanda.
And in my beginning to speak, the Holy Spirit fell on them, even as also on us in the beginning,
16 Pelepo nagakumbuchile maloŵe ga Ambuje paŵatite, ‘Che Yohana ŵabatisye kwa meesi, nambo ŵanyamwe chimbatiswe kwa Mbumu jwa Akunnungu.’
and I remembered the saying of the LORD, how He said, John indeed immersed in water, but you will be immersed in the Holy Spirit;
17 Nipele iŵaga Akunnungu ŵapele ŵandu ŵangaŵa Ŵayahudi ntuuka ulaula watupele uweji utukwakulupilila Ambuje Che Yesu Kilisito, ana uneji ŵaani naakanile Akunnungu?”
if then God gave to them the equal gift as also to us, having believed on the Lord Jesus Christ, I—how was I able to withstand God?”
18 Paŵapilikene yeleyo, ŵalesile makani ni kwakusya Akunnungu achitiji, “Akunnungu ŵapele ŵandu ŵangaŵa Ŵayahudi lipesa lya kuleka sambi, akole umi wa moŵa gose pangali mbesi!”
And they, having heard these things, were silent, and were glorifying God, saying, “Then, indeed, God also gave conversion to life to the nations.”
19 Ligongo lya kulagaswa kukwatandite paŵauleje che Stefano, ŵandu ŵaŵakulupilile Che Yesu ŵala ŵapwilingene. Ŵane ŵajawile mpaka ku Foinike ni ku Kupulo ni ku Antiokia achilalichilaga Liloŵe lya Akunnungu kwa Ŵayahudi pe.
Those, indeed, therefore, having been scattered abroad, from the tribulation that came after Stephen, went through to Phoenicia, and Cyprus, and Antioch, speaking the word to none except to Jews only;
20 Nambo ŵapali ŵane ŵa ŵanyawo ŵaŵatyochele ku Kupulo ni ku Kulene, ŵajawile ku Antiokia ni kwenesya ngani jo kwa ŵandu ŵangaŵa Ŵayahudi, achilalichilaga Ngani Jambone ja Ambuje Che Yesu.
and there were certain of them, men of Cyprus and Cyrene, who having entered into Antioch, were speaking to the Hellenists, proclaiming good news—the Lord Jesus,
21 Ambuje ŵaalongwesye kwa ukombole wao, ni ŵandu ŵajinji ŵakulupilile ni kwaujilila Ambuje.
and the hand of the LORD was with them, a great number also, having believed, turned to the LORD.
22 Ni ngani syo syapikaniche kwa mpingo wa ŵandu ŵakunkulupilila Kilisito ku Yelusalemu. Nipele ŵantumile che Banaba ajaule ku Antiokia.
And the account was heard in the ears of the assembly that [is] in Jerusalem concerning them, and they sent forth Barnabas to go through to Antioch,
23 Nombejo paŵaiche kweleko ni kwiwona iŵatite Akunnungu pakwapa upile ŵandu ŵala, ŵasengwile ni kwachisya ŵandu apunde kwakulupilila Ambuje kwa mitima jao jose.
who, having come, and having seen the grace of God, was glad, and was exhorting all with purpose of heart to cleave to the LORD,
24 Che Banaba ŵaliji mundu jwambone ni jwagumbele Mbumu jwa Akunnungu ni chikulupi. Kwa ligongo li che Banaba, mpingo wekulungwa wa ŵandu wajonjesyeche kwa Ambuje.
because he was a good man, and full of the Holy Spirit, and of faith, and a great multitude was added to the LORD.
25 Nipele che Banaba ŵajawile ku Taso kukwasosa che Sauli.
And Barnabas went forth to Tarsus, to seek for Saul,
26 Paŵasimene, ŵalongene nawo ku Antiokia. Ni wose ŵanaŵaŵili ŵatemi ni mpingo wa ŵandu ŵakunkulupilila Kilisito chaka chansima, achiujiganyaga mpingo wekulungwa wa ŵandu. Ku Antiokia ko ni kukwaliji kwaandanda ŵakulijiganya kuŵilanjikwa Ŵakilisito.
and having found him, he brought him to Antioch, and it came to pass that they assembled together a whole year in the assembly, and taught a great multitude, and the disciples were first called Christians in Antioch.
27 Ni katema kakoko, ku Antiokia ko ŵaiche ŵakulondola ŵa Akunnungu ŵampepe kutyochela ku Yelusalemu.
And in those days there came from Jerusalem prophets to Antioch,
28 Nipele, jumo jwa ŵanyawo liina lyakwe che Agabo ŵajimi ni kwa machili ga Mbumu jwa Akunnungu ŵalondwele kuti, chijityochele sala jajikulungwa mchilambo chose. Sala jo jatyochele katema ka mwenye che Kilaudio.
and one of them, by name Agabus, having stood up, signified through the Spirit a great scarcity is about to be throughout all the world—which also came to pass in the time of Claudius Caesar—
29 Ŵakulijiganya ŵala, jwalijose malinga ni ukombole wakwe ŵaakamuchisye achinjao ŵaŵakulupilile Che Yesu ŵaŵatamaga ku Yudea.
and the disciples, according as anyone was prospering, determined each of them to send for ministry to the brothers dwelling in Judea,
30 Nipele, ŵatesile yeleyo ni kwatuma che Banaba ni che Sauli kuti apeleche kwa achakulu ŵa mpingo wa ŵandu ŵakunkulupilila Kilisito.
which also they did, having sent to the elders by the hand of Barnabas and Saul.
