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 brethren that were in Judea, heard that the Gentiles also had received the word of God.
2 Nipele, che Petulo paŵausile ku Yelusalemu, aŵala Ŵayahudi ŵaŵakulupilile Che Yesu ŵaŵaumbele, ŵaalalatile,
And when Peter had come to Jerusalem, they that were of the circumcision contended with him,
3 achitiji, “Mmwejo mwajawile kukutama ni ŵandu ŵangaumbala ni kulya nawo!”
Saying, Thou wentest in to men uncircumcised, and didst eat with them.
4 Pelepo che Petulo ŵatandite kwagopolela yeleyo chimo chimo kuti.
But Peter rehearsed [the matter] from the beginning, and expounded [it] by order to them, 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 in a trance I saw a vision, A certain vessel descend, as it had been a great sheet, let down from heaven by four corners; and it came even to me:
6 Nalingulile uchenene nkati, naiweni inyama ya kulangwa yana makongolo ncheche ni inyama ya mwikonde ni inyama yaikukwaŵa ni ijuni.
Upon which when I had fastened my eyes, I considered, and saw four-footed beasts of the earth, and wild beasts, and creeping animals, and fowls of the air.
7 Nipele napilikene liloŵe lichisalilaga, ‘Che Petulo njime, nsikite ndye.’
And I heard a voice saying to me, Arise, Peter; slay and eat.
8 Ni uneji najanjile, ‘Ngwamba, Ambuje, pakuŵa chindu chachili chose changaswejeswa atamuno chakusakala nganichijinjile ng'o pakang'wa pangu.’
But I said, Not so, Lord: for nothing common or unclean hath at any time entered into my mouth.
9 Nambo liloŵe lila lyapikaniche kaaŵili kutyochela kwinani lichitiji, ‘Yaiswejesye Akunnungu, alakwe nkaiŵilanga yakusakala.’
But the voice answered me again from heaven, What God hath cleansed, [that] call not thou common.
10 Chelechi chatendekwe katatu, ni mbesi jakwe indu yose yanyakulikwe sooni kwinani.
And this was done three times: and all were drawn up again into heaven.
11 Pangakaŵa, ŵandu ŵatatu ŵaŵalajiswe kukwangu kutyochela ku Kaisalia ŵaiche pa nyuumba jinatamaga.
And behold, immediately there were three men already come to the house where I was, sent from Cesarea 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 bade me go with them, nothing doubting. Moreover, these six brethren accompanied me, and we entered into the man's house:
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.
And he showed us how he had seen an angel in his house, who stood and said to him, Send men to Joppa, and call for Simon, whose surname is Peter;
14 Ŵelewo chaachinsalila maloŵe, ganti chigankulupusye mmwejo ni ŵandu ŵaali mu nyuumba jenu wose.’
Who shall tell thee words, by which thou and all thy house shall be saved.
15 Panatandite kuŵecheta, Mbumu jwa Akunnungu ŵaatuluchile mpela yatite pakututuluchila uweji kundanda.
And as I began to speak, the Holy Spirit fell on them, as on us at the beginning.
16 Pelepo nagakumbuchile maloŵe ga Ambuje paŵatite, ‘Che Yohana ŵabatisye kwa meesi, nambo ŵanyamwe chimbatiswe kwa Mbumu jwa Akunnungu.’
Then I remembered the word of the Lord, how he said, John indeed baptized with water; but ye shall be baptized with 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?”
Forasmuch then as God gave them the like gift as [he did] to us, who believed on the Lord Jesus Christ, what was I that I could 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!”
When they heard these things, they held their peace, and glorified God, saying, Then hath God also to the Gentiles granted repentance to life.
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.
Now they who were dispersed upon the persecution that arose about Stephen traveled as far as Phenice, and Cyprus, and Antioch, preaching the word to none but to the 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 some of them were men of Cyprus and Cyrene, who when they had come to Antioch, spoke to the Grecians, preaching 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: and a great number believed, and turned to the Lord.
22 Ni ngani syo syapikaniche kwa mpingo wa ŵandu ŵakunkulupilila Kilisito ku Yelusalemu. Nipele ŵantumile che Banaba ajaule ku Antiokia.
Then tidings of these things came to the ears of the church which was in Jerusalem: and they sent forth Barnabas, that he should go as far as 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, when he came, and had seen the grace of God, was glad, and exhorted them all that with purpose of heart they would 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.
For he was a good man, and full of the Holy Spirit, and of faith: and many people were added to the Lord.
25 Nipele che Banaba ŵajawile ku Taso kukwasosa che Sauli.
Then Barnabas departed to Tarsus, to seek 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 when he had found him, he brought him to Antioch. And it came to pass, that a whole year they assembled themselves with the church, and taught many people. 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 these days came prophets from Jerusalem 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 there stood up one of them named Agabus, and signified by the Spirit that there should be great dearth throughout all the world: which came to pass in the days of Claudius Cesar.
29 Ŵakulijiganya ŵala, jwalijose malinga ni ukombole wakwe ŵaakamuchisye achinjao ŵaŵakulupilile Che Yesu ŵaŵatamaga ku Yudea.
Then the disciples, every man according to his ability, determined to send relief to the brethren who dwelt 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, and sent it to the elders by the hands of Barnabas and Saul.
